Authors: ALENCAR JOAQUIM CARLOS KLEIN DE
Published: April 2024

Este artigo analisa a atual conjuntura da democracia representativa no Brasil, com foco na forma de exercício do poder político e suas premissas básicas, e mais especificamente investiga o uso/eficácia/concretização dos instrumentos postos à disposição da/o cidadã/o para a participação direta no debate político, especialmente o plebiscito e o referendo, e ainda se há viabilidade na melhoria desses mecanismos, ou, na concretização de propostas tendentes a aperfeiçoar o aparelho democrático. Utiliza-se o método dedutivo, e a pesquisa do tipo exploratória, que envolvem estudos bibliográficos, e, para tanto, dialogamos com Bobbio (2006b), Arendt (2007), Canotilho (2002), Santos (2000/2002), Barroso (2006), Dallari (2010), dentre outros/as.  O objetivo geral do artigo é, portanto, analisar e compreender criticamente o complexo teórico-normativo respectivo que compõe a atual a estrutura política democrática brasileira, cujo paradigma é constitucional. Especificamente, o texto objetiva refletir sobre a participação popular direta na concretização do regime democrático, Investigar os instrumentos postos à disposição do povo na consecução dos fins democráticos e se tais mecanismos são eficazes quanto ao uso, e, finalmente sugerir estratégias para o aperfeiçoamento da democracia brasileira, especificamente quanto ao uso do plebiscito e do referendo. Defendemos, conclusivamente, que a participação popular precisa avançar no Brasil, como uma das formas que entendemos urgente e necessária para o aperfeiçoamento do Estado Democrático, com a utilização dos instrumentos da democracia direta expressos da Constituição – Plebiscito e Referendo -, como necessária e obrigatória quando o tema debatido no Congresso Nacional for referente aos Direitos e Garantias Fundamentais, eis que o destinatário dos Direitos precisa, necessariamente, se manifestar, sob pena de verdadeira fraude ao sistema garantias instituído pelo Constituinte Originário.

Este trabajo tiene como principal objetivo presentar una propuesta didáctico-pedagógica para el desarrollo de la competencia lectora en Español como Lengua Extranjera (en adelante, ELE), en estudiantes de cursos preparatorios para el Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio – ENEM (Prueba de Acceso a Estudios Universitarios), a partir de los cuentos de horror de Horacio Quiroga. Concebimos la práctica de la comprensión lectora como una puerta abierta a la universidad, de modo que las actividades han sido pensadas y elaboradas para trabajar desde la perspectiva de la literacidad literaria (COSSON, 2021). La propuesta didáctica ha sido elaborada en base a los cuentos de horror del escritor Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937), a saber: “La gallina degollada” y “El almohadón de plumas”. Así pues, la citada propuesta dista de ser una mera actividad de desarrollo de la comprensión lectora del alumnado, sino que es una manera de proporcionarles, además, la magia de la lectura e introducirlos al magnífico mundo de la literatura.

Este estudo consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica de quatro poemas de Plath: Ariel, Daddy, Lady Lazarus e Edge a partir da obra principal Ariel (2019). Reconheceu-se o tema e os motivos dos poemas propostos a partir do escopo de Tomachevski (1970). Foram debatidas as concepções de simbolismo e semiosfera a partir de Lotman (1990) e da narrativa mítica de Meletinski (2019). Adotou-se o estudo do arquétipo de Jung (2014) no desenvolvimento principalmente das definições de anima e animus que foram identificadas nos poemas. Discutiu-se como uma autora pós-moderna como Plath considerava a morte, o renascimento e a sobrevivência em sua obra literária em um padrão cíclico, refletindo a estrutura do mito. A análise abordou a memória cultural ancestral, as influências espirituais, o conhecimento social e o mecanismo da metalinguagem na criação de mensagens, metáforas e formação de texto no desenvolvimento do que se expressa como um ciclo infinito de movimento vital e que transcende assim, ao mito da imortalidade. Dessa forma, Plath aborda as questões para além da morte, como forma de se manter vivo para sempre.

A végső remény

Luther kis vigasziratának latin szövegét az ő zsoltároskönyvében találták és onnan másolták ki. Szövege, amely a reformátor személyes használatára készült, tömör utalás a keresztény hit alapvető kijelentéseire. A Justus Jonas által készített német fordítás ezt minden bajban lévő emberre alkalmazza. Korunk keresztényei és igehirdetői hajlanak arra, hogy a jelen világ távlataiból és elvárásaiból merítsenek vigasztalást. Ilyen módon a kereszténység is a szekularizáció foglya, amint Anders Nygren már 1948-ban Lundban megfogalmazta. Luther vigasza nem zárja ki az emberi szenvedést, és nem vezet kvietizmushoz, de méltósággal ajándékozza meg az embert.
Isten ráadás?
Authors: Tóth Sára
Published: April 2024

A mai társadalom és kultúra valláshoz való viszonyát a „posztszekuláris” jelzővel írhatjuk le, ami azt jelenti, hogy egyre növekszik az igény olyan beszédmódra, amely a vallásit és a világit nem tartja egymást kölcsönösen kizáró kategóriának sem a publikus, sem a privát szférában. Az egyházi diskurzusokban ugyanakkor továbbra is dualista szemlélet uralkodik: a szent és a világi élesen szétválik, s ez a protestáns spiritualitásban gyakran együtt jár a világ szigorú megítélésével. A szerző Paul Tillich teológiájának segítségével egy olyan protestáns szakramentális szemlélet alapjait vázolja fel, amely a részesedés és a meghaladás dialektikájára építve egyrészt hangsúlyozza Isten megmutatkozását minden teremtett dologban, másrészt a protestáns princípiumot, azaz Isten végtelen transzcendenciáját (másságát) is. Tillich szerint a szent és a világi „megbékítetlensége”, kettőssége a bűn következménye. A „transzhisztorikus visszaemlékezés és az utópikus elővételezés” ugyanakkor fel- és megidézi szent és világi, vallás és kultúra szakramentális egységét, Tillich szakkifejezésével a teonómiát. Tillich dimenzióelméletére és hozzá kapcsolódó szimbólumelméletére támaszkodva dolgozza ki a teonómia fogalmát, a világi és a vallási kultúra kölcsönös áthatásának vízióját. Ez a „teonóm kereszteződés” valósíthatja meg az egyházi közösség és a hívő élet „átjárhatóságát”, szelíd jelenlétét a mai világban.

The Role of Prefixes and Suffixes in the Formation of Lexical Units in English Summary It is an undeniable fact that lexical units belonging to many fields have a special weight in the vocabulary of the language system. In addition, the study of word-formation, which plays an important role in the process of language development at modern times, is one of the issues of interest in linguistics. Scientific and technical progress, the globalization process, and the development of multilateral relations between states have led to the creation of new lexemes, terms and neologisms in the vocabulary of language. The emergence of new terms helps to explain objects or phenomena in a more expressive way, along with the need to create a new concept. Key words: word-formation, productive, context, prefix, suffix

Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION: India’s senior population has been progressively increasing over the past century.Undoubtedly, the biomedical sciences, better living circumstances, and medical advancements have all contributed significantly to the rise in life expectancy. Maintaining overall health is recognised to be critically dependent on maintaining excellent dental health, and this is also true for older adults. Despite this, dental health in the elderly has not received much attention in our nation. OBJECTIVES: Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the knowledge and opinions of private dental practitioners on ageing, psychosocial influences, and the oral health care of their elderly patients. RESULTS: According to the data, 45% of practitioners had a moderate to high accurate answer rate when it came to their understanding of ageing. According to 70–80% of practitioners, the top three reasons why elderly patients skip their visits are family issues, money difficulties, and transportation-related issues. The main mental health aspect influencing older persons’ oral health is the presence of a severe disease. The main physical element affecting oral health is independence, while isolation is the most significant social component. CONCLUSION: The dental professionals were found to have a modest level of understanding of ageing. The findings suggest that curriculum needs to address geriatric dentistry.

Published: April 2024

This study investigated the relationship between animism and environmentalism in an upland rural community in Labo, Camarines Norte, Philippines. A survey of 136 adults identified prevalent animistic customs and practices, moderate attribution of animistic essence to various objects, and high levels of environmental concern and action. Significant positive correlations emerged between some customs and practices and environmentalism, suggesting that certain practices may promote concern and action for ecology. However, the strength of these correlations was generally weak. This could be due to external factors like commercialization, dominant religion, and secularization, which weaken the connection between customs and practices and environmentalism. The attribution of animistic essence to animals and plants displayed a positive relationship with environmentalism, suggesting a link between valuing living things and pro-environmental behavior. Conversely, attributing essence to most of the object categories did not yield significant relationships. These findings highlight the complex relationship between animism and environmentalism. While some animistic beliefs cultivate ecological responsibility, others have a more nuanced influence. Strengthening specific customs and practices and fostering the attribution of animistic essence to living things could be avenues for promoting environmental stewardship within animistic communities. Further research is needed to explore the factors that influence the animism-environmentalism relationship. Understanding these complexities can help develop strategies for nurturing animistic values and empowering environmental movements.

Published: April 2024

In this study an attempt has been made to manufacture the Aluminum metal matrix (AMC) through a liquid metallurgical route. The matrix used in the study is Aluminum cast alloy 64430 and reinforcement particles selected are Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles ranging its size from 50-70 microns. Application of these materials in many areas is due to its light weight, good wear resistance and machinability. End milling is one of the most commonly used metal removal operation in industry because of its ability to remove material faster with good surface finish. The parameters that influence the surface roughness are spindle speed, depth of cut, feed rate, material and geometry of tool. The study also focuses to Optimize process parameters using Taguchi design of experiments. The three process parameters and three levels are selected and orthogonal array L9 is used for experimentation and the surface roughness is measured and optimized. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed to know the impact of individual factors on surface roughness and material removal rate. Using regression analysis the theoretical values are predicted and compared with the experimental values for validation.
IMPACT OF BIO-ORGANIC FERTILIZATION AND NITROGEN LEVELS ON MAIZE (Zea mays L.) RESILIENCE

Published: April 2024

A field study on maize growth in sandy soils found that applying 5 tons/fad of compost significantly enhanced plant growth and grain yield. Increasing the nitrogen (N) rate up to 135 kg N/fad also, led to a notable increase in plant and grain yield and resulted in early flowering. The application of phosphorus and potassium (PK) at a rate of 15.5 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O/fad led to early flowering and significantly increased grain yield. Furthermore, the application of PK fertilizer led to an increase in the nitrogen and phosphorus content of grains in both growing seasons. The concentration of proline, which serves as an endogenous osmoprotectant against biotic stress, also increased. The suggested PK fertilizer level (15.5 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O/fad) resulted in a notable rise in the CP% in grains. The research further revealed that the uptake of nitrogen in grains increased in response to higher nitrogen levels, with the maximum nitrogen utilization efficiency being 25.11 kg of grains/ kilogram of applied nitrogen.
Typical Conflicts of Duty and Prudence Facing Voters in Democracies

Published: April 2024

This chapter offers a fine-grained and nuanced normative map of ethical reasoning about the best way to vote. It maps the principles, duties and considerations that may legitimately drive voters’ choices. In so doing, the chapter provides normative guidance and a better ethical understanding of the relation between normatively relevant reasons connected with the act of voting. So far, the literature has focused mainly on the conflicts between common-good-based reasons and self-interest-based reasons. This chapter challenges such a simplistic distinction to demonstrate that different conceptions of duties and prudence can influence how we think of the ethical dilemmas that voters may face. It also demonstrates that the appreciation and assessment of specific circumstances (effectiveness and reliability of the candidates that are being selected, the expressive impact of one’s vote and its consequences on the political system, the specific heuristics required to collect the relevant information, and preoccupations for the stability and legitimacy of the political system) can impact on how voters balance different duties with their self-interest. Against this backdrop, we model three scenarios: allegiance to a group, the common good, and strategic reasoning, self-interest and distancing, party allegiance and the common good.

An example of how sustainability is included in a basic course in automatic control is presented, where the links between the degree requirements, sustainability and the subject are illustrated using The Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs). The key idea is to present real world application examples where automatic control is a vital component and there are clear connections to the SDGs. The examples are inspired and illustrated using videos and images taken from the internet. Several times during the course a part of the lecture time is used to show a video, describe how the control subject comes in, and how the use of feedback control via the application can contribute to the fulfillment of the SDG.
O Transbordamento Do Olhar: Percepção E Atitude Categorial Em Gurwitsch E Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Henrique Santos Decanini Marangoni Pedro , Saretta Verissimo Danilo
Published: April 2024

O propósito deste trabalho é apresentar e discutir as apropriações realizadas por Aron Gurwitsch e Maurice Merleau-Ponty do conceito de atitude categorial, oriundo das pesquisas de Kurt Goldstein. No campo da psicopatologia, a atitude categorial refere-se à estrutura de comportamentos possíveis ou virtuais, demarcados no registro do simbólico, que permitem ao sujeito relacionar-se com o mundo para além dos dados atuais ou presentes da percepção. Ao denotar esse plano simbólico, ao qual a esfera comportamental de pacientes com lesão cerebral parece não mais se inscrever, o conceito de atitude categorial abre-se à possibilidade de ser interpretado a partir do léxico da ideação, da abstração ou da generalização. Isto implica conceber que a noção de categoria habitaria um plano distinto do plano sensível ou perceptivo. Esta é a leitura proposta por Gurwitsch, que aproxima a noção de atitude categorial das elaborações entalhadas por Husserl, através da distinção entre significado perceptivo e significado categorial. De modo distinto, na primeira obra de Merleau-Ponty, A Estrutura do Comportamento, o tratamento da atitude categorial é realizado com vistas a enraizar a capacidade idealizante da experiência humana na própria dinâmica perceptiva, definindo o comportamento simbólico, primordialmente, como capaz de “multiplicidade perspectiva”
The dynamic relationship between health care expenditure and national income in Benin context

Published: April 2024

Summary: This paper provides empirical evidence on the relationship between per capita health care expenditure and national income in Benin, over the period from 1990 to 2020, using AutoRegressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. After controlling for domestic government health expenditure as share of total health expenditure, foreign health expenditure as share of total health expenditure, proportion of population aged less than 15 years old and proportion of population aged over 65 years, we found that the long-run elasticity of health care with respect to gross domestic product is ranged from 0.529 to 0.676 suggesting that health care is income inelastic for Benin’s citizens. Our results remain stable when re-estimating the same health expenditure equation by Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares methods. Since income elasticity of demand for health care expenditure is less than one, higher income may not automatically imply higher health expenditure by Benin population. Keywords: Health care expenditure – Bound testing – Heath financing – Benin. La relation dynamique entre les dépenses de santé et le revenu national dans le contexte du Bénin Résumé : Cet article fournit des preuves empiriques sur le lien entre les dépenses de santé par habitant et le revenu national à l’aide des données béninoises couvrant la période 1990-2020, et d’un modèle autorégressif à retards échelonnés (ARDL). Après avoir évalué la part des dépenses de santé du gouvernement dans les dépenses totales de santé, la part des aides extérieures en santé dans les dépenses totales de santé, la proportion de la population âgée de moins de 15 ans ainsi que celle âgée de plus de 65 ans, nos résultats montrent que les élasticités revenu à long terme des dépenses de santé varient de 0,529 à 0,676, ce qui suggère que les soins de santé sont inélastiques par rapport au revenu. Les résultats restent stables lorsque nous réestimons l’équation de dépenses de santé par les méthodes des moindres carrés ordinaires modifiés et des moindres carrés ordinaires dynamiques. L'élasticité-revenu de la demande de dépenses de santé étant inférieure à un, l’augmentation du revenu national ne se traduit pas automatiquement à travers une augmentation des dépenses de santé de la population béninoise. Mots-clés : Dépenses de santé – Bound testing – Financement de la santé – Bénin. JEL Classification: H51 – I10 – I15 – O55.

Authors: Kofinas Periklis , Kelessis Apostolos , Kassomenos Pavlos
Published: April 2024

In this work, the variation on the levels of suspended particulates, in Greek urban areas, was examined, for the period of the restrictive measures implementation (period 1: March to May 2020 and period 2: November 2020 to January 2021) due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. The PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are measured by the National Air Pollution Monitoring Network of Greece monitored by the Energy/Environment Ministry. In particular, a comparison of the PM10 and PM2.5 concentration levels was made, concerning the above time periods, with the corresponding atmospheric pollution levels during the periods 2001-2009 (period before the Greek economic crisis), 2010-2019 (period during the Greek economic crisis), as well as with the entire time period 2001-2019. The assessment showed a significant reduction in the levels of both PM10 concentrations, which ranged from 8% to 45%, and PM2.5 concentrations, which ranged from 13% to 48%, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the control measures in improving air quality in Greek urban areas. The above findings show that with appropriate emission control strategies, vital improvements in the air environment of urban areas can be achieved.

Authors: Blackford Molly , Ramp Katelynn , Jackobsen Steffen , Carstens Deborah S.
Published: April 2024

The aviation industry has used simulator training devices as an inexpensive and safe alternative to flight training for decades. Many different simulation types have been developed, with varying quality levels in fidelity and realism. The study aim is to evaluate the usability of the RedBird JAY desktop simulator for training Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures. Spradley's (2016) domain analysis is used to identify common themes in the participant's responses. Twelve pilots, holding an FAA private pilot certificate and instrument rating as a minimum and with mixed prior simulator experience, operated a Redbird JAY flight simulator configured with the Cessna 172 using standard analog instruments with a separate horizontal situation indicator (HIS) and Garmin G1000 integrated flight instrument system. Each participant was given three scenarios, consisting of approximately five minutes of flying in identical conditions for all participants. The results and future research areas are discussed in this paper.
Construction estimating challenges after COVID 19 - the effect of price escalation and material shortages on construction cost and contract management
Authors: Haddad Bashar
Published: April 2024

The cost of building materials is imperative for determining the profitability and success of construction projects. This paper focuses on the effect of the COVID 19 pandemic on material prices and the availability of material. The input cost of materials and services utilized in construction rose by 27.4% from April 2020 to August 2021. Typically, the material and equipment costs could reach up to 50-60 percent of the construction project cost. Therefore, the increase in material prices and the availability of material pose a significant risk to contractors' ability to bid and execute projects. Prudent contractors must develop a plan to manage and mitigate the risk of material price escalation at the bidding phase, during contract negotiation, and during the built phase of the project. The researcher provides contractors with risk mitigation strategies at each phase of the project to manage and control price volatility.
Cyclic finite element analysis of TI-6AI-4V titanium specimen
Authors: Lee Omar , Schonning Alexandra , Simsiriwong Jutima
Published: April 2024

In this paper, finite element simulations of TI-6AI-4V titanium cylindrical dog-bone specimens subject to sinusoidal loading mimicking specimens loaded in an MTS axial fatigue testing machine are presented. The geometry was modeled according to ASTM E466 standards, and the specimens were modeled using second order tetrahedral elements. The load was applied axially, and symmetry constrains were imposed on three surfaces. A static load was first applied axially, and the results were used in the durability fatigue and life analysis application of Siemens NX. A strength-life plot was created for the specimen. The simulations are performed to help determine how best the finite element methodology (FEM) can be used to guide experimental cyclic testing for surface treated specimens.
Marketing challenges for the next generation of nuclear power: Has deregulation eliminated the nuclear option?
Authors: Dansky Stephen , Cudmore B. Andrew
Published: April 2024

The purchase of a nuclear plant relies on bank financing and lenders emphasize the quality of the nuclear plant's projected income stream to repay the financing. This is why all previous nuclear plant financings relied on the monopoly status of the purchaser with its legislatively anointed captive market to ensure an adequate income stream. Today, due to deregulation, electric utilities can't own regulated power plants in two-thirds of the country. In these states, electricity is generated and sold on a competitive basis by Independent Power Producers, end-use customers are free to choose their electric suppliers, and state regulators no longer ensure cost coverage of the nuclear-related risks. However, policymakers at last year's United Nations COP26 and other environmental forums touted nuclear power as a solution to climate change because it doesn't produce greenhouse gases. Missing is a discussion and analysis of the impact of this deregulation (and its loss of a guaranteed revenue stream) on the ability to obtain financing and, in turn, on the potential size of this market. Thus, deregulation may have eliminated nuclear power as an option to fight climate change. This presentation builds on earlier research by proposing an analysis of survey data regarding two post-deregulation risk factors (long-term price certainty and long-term output quantity certainty) versus the likelihood to obtain financing.

Published: April 2024

Artificial Intelligence, renowned for its data interpretation, learning, and task achievement capabilities, has gained popularity in various industries and academies due to enhanced efficiency and quality. This study aims to determine the extent of AI usage among students, including functionality, availability, complexity, assessment scores, course mastery, and grading metrics. It also seeks to determine if a relationship exists between AI usage and their academic performance. The study employs a quantitative approach using a correlational design. The respondents of the study are 293 Business Administration students from Negros Oriental State University Main Campus 1, Dumaguete City. The study's findings suggest that AI usage among students is moderately prevalent in terms of functionality, availability, and complexity. However, the students' academic performance was found to be above-average, with high scores on assessments, course mastery, and excellent grades. There is no significant relationship between AI use and academic performance found. In conclusion, AI tools offer personalized learning experiences, immediate feedback, and collaborative activities, but further growth and improvement are needed, including training, accessibility, research, monitoring, and best practices sharing.
World-wide LCI Study for Steel Products
Authors: Eun Jong Hwan , Lee Byung Wook
Published: April 2024

A life cycle inventory (LCI) study has been carried out to quantify resources use, energy use and environmental emissions associated with the processing of twelve steel products from the extraction of raw materials in the ground through to the steel factory gate. LCI data have been calculated for products derived via the blast furnace / basic oxygen furnace route and the electric arc furnace route. In total, 55 sites operated by 37 companies, including 29 blast furnace, 15 electric arc furnace and 11 rolling and finishing operations, participated in the study. Thus, most areas of the world and a range of operating configurations were represented.
The IISI LCI database for world wide steel products is the largest, most comprehensive and one of the most rigorous ever undertaken for a material and that this will provide a basis for decision making in the context of sustainable development. The results also provide the opportunity for companies to benchmark and evaluate improvement measures to their processes and product systems and to provide a common basis for communicating data to customers and external stakeholders.
The Influences on the Results of LCIA by the Allocation Procedures between Different Products
Authors: ITSUBO Norihiro , Kang Hun
Published: April 2024

One of the most important and problematic subjects in LCA is how to deal with allocation in calculation. Until now, there are a lot of discussions for this problem including the statement in ISO framework. However, most of the considerations of these issues are limited to the influences of inventory phase, and dose not treat the impact assessment. The author has proposed a weighting methodology in LCIA for Japan. This paper describes the difference of the results of weighting depending on the allocation principle between primary and secondary products with case study. ISO 14041 specifies that where allocation can not be avoided, the inputs and outputs of the system should be partitioned which reflects the underlying physical relationships between different products". We concentrated on the physical partitioning with utilization of mass of products in this case study. Currently, there are a lot of recycle systems. We have considered the influences on the results of weighting by the allocation procedures of material recycle and thermal recycle. The results were dependent on the allocation principles.
