Mit grecki - jego modyfikacje, znaczenia i funkcje. Szkic problematyki
Authors: Czerwinska Jadwiga
Published: January 2023

The subject of the article concerns the issues of ancient Greek myth, its modifications and functions. The starting point for a such formulated problem is the Aristotle’s rules to which a myth is subject. The philosopher links these rules with the theory of tragedy’s poetics, that should be directed by probability. Following the standards, that were in force in Antiquity, a function, which had to be fulfilled by a myth, determined the way of using mythology by Greek dramatists. The modern culture reinterpret a Greek myth. A function, which a myth has to fulfil, as in ancient times, is its basis and determinant. The task of a myth is, first of all, indicated as an universalization of the values, that are inscribed in this myth.
Transwestyci (?) w "Thesmoforiach" Arystofanesa
Authors: Borowski Yvonne
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the question of transvestism in the Thesmophoriazusae of Aristophanes. To provide a useful theoretical backdrop, the author begins with an analysis of the definition of cross-dressing as a complex socio-behavioural phenomenon. Next follows an examination of the four examples of male characters dressing up in female clothing in the analyzed comedy. These are the cases of Agathon, Cleisthenes, Mnesilochus and Euripides. The aim of the investigation is to point out the purposes of employing cross-dressing in the drama as well as to distinct the genuine transvestites among the comic dramatis personae.

The agricultural extension system in India has the daunting task of serving about 146.45 million farm families. Public extension systems comprising KVKs, ATMA, State Line Departments, SAUs and ICAR Institutes have been playing a pivotal role in extending extension services; of late, private players like input companies, credit and insurance firms, Corporate Social Responsibility units, NGOs, farmers’ associations (FBOs/FPOs) and commodity boards (Rubber, Coffee, etc.) have made a significant impact in this area. Despite such a vast network of public and private extension agencies, there is a wide gap in service delivery and extension education interventions. All these extension agencies have their strength and weaknesses but also hold promising dynamism for future challenges. As agricultural extension will be a very important determinant of future agricultural growth, the assessment of SWOT analysis of different extension agencies engaged in delivering extension services in India is imperative.

Authors: Kumar Suresh , Kumar Satish , Lal Jawahar
Published: January 2023

Background: Hydroponics or water-culture-based agricultural systems are devoted to a reasonable prospect for future farming agriculture production. Especially in that region where the fertility of agricultural land is continuously going to there is a decline in groundwater level for irrigation. Hydroponics-based agriculture system realizes an admiring action towards an eco-friendly system and innovative technique to overcome challenges concerning food safety. Hydroponics is an advanced agriculture technique in which the plants grow without soil and without any pesticide use. It is used to grow plants, vegetables and shrubs on vertical as well as horizontal basis in the series and parallel. It could be applied via glass pots, clay pots, PVC pipes and useless plastic buckets and bottles. Methods: In the present study vegetables, flowering plants and shrubs were grown successfully by the use of mainly three techniques of hydroponics namely Kratky, Wick and DFT methods. This study was continued for two and half years (4th July 2020 to 21st March 2021 and December 2019 to April 2020) with controlled pH and TDS of the nutrient solution and conducted at different Indian climatic, weather and seasonal conditions at Markanda National College,Shahabad Markanda and at the researcher’s home. Several vegetables and plants were grown from Kratky, Wick and DFT hydroponics methods under continuous monitoring of pH and TDS of nutrient solutions. Result: During the conduction of this study of the growth of mustard, ladyfinger, spinach, marigold, daisy basil (Tulsi), cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, peas, peppermint, coriander leaves plants in different sessions; some challenges and opportunities were discussed. The main objective of this research study is to spread awareness about novel types of advanced future agricultural techniques or farming among the farmers and masses, who have an interest in agriculture but cannot fulfill their ambitions towards agriculture farming due to scarcity of agricultural land. The results obtained from the growth of vegetable and plant through hydroponics methods province us to follow an idea to use of such agricultural techniques. We have grown several below said crops/vegetables two or three times and face several problems. It is an opportunity to overcome the world’s food scarcity at a large scale, if adopted by a large population all over the world.

Published: January 2023

Background: Transitional phase of 2-3 weeks (prelay) before onset of egg production is extremely important for efficient layer. This study evaluates different nutrient density prelay diets on the subsequent performance of White Leghorn layers. Methods: Total 180, 16-week-old White Leghorn pullets assigned to six-prelay feeding strategies (kcal ME per kg/%CP/%Ca) during 16-18 weeks. Treatments were T0 (BIS control-2500/16.0/1.0), T1 (2700/16.0/1.0), T2 (2700/16.0/2.0), T3 (2700/16.0/2.5), T4 (2700/18.0/2.0) and T5 (2700/18.0/2.5). Subsequently, pullets were fed with same layer diet (2600/18.0/3.0) during 19-40 weeks. Various growth and production parameters were recorded. Result: The 18% CP (T4 and T5), 2.0-2.5% Ca (T2 to T5) and 2700 kcal ME/kg (T1 to T5) in prelay diet significantly increased pullets daily metabolic energy (p less than 0.05), protein (p less than 0.05) and calcium (p less than 0.01) intake during 16-18 weeks than 2600 kcal ME/kg (T0), 16.0% CP (T0 to T3) and 1.0% Ca (T0). Prelay diet (T5) improved egg number, per cent egg production, feed efficiency, performance efficiency index and egg feed price ratio without affecting weight gain and feed consumption suggesting that prelay diet is a compromise between grower and layer diets.

Interactions between photosynthesis and the circadian system
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, Queiroz Marina Viana , Battle Martin William ,   University of Glasgow, UK, Jones Matthew Alan ,   University of Glasgow, UK
Published: January 2023

The rising and setting of the sun provides a regular transition between two starkly different environmental conditions for photosynthetic organisms such as plants. Since photosynthetic organisms rely on light as both an environmental signal and an energy source it is beneficial for plants to respond to and utilize light in a time-dependent manner. This timing information is provided by the circadian system, a complex biological oscillator that provides an internal reference that can be used to modify plants’ responses to light signals. In this review, we will discuss how the circadian system regulates photosynthetic processes, while also exploring how photosynthetic products can themselves feed into the circadian system to optimise interactions between plants and their environment.

Authors: Fitriani Dinny , Rarasati Anisa , Saputro Suhadi Wido , Baskoro Edy Tri
Published: January 2023

A set W is called a local resolving set of G if the distance of u and v to some elements of W are distinct for every two adjacent vertices u and v in G.  The local metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a local resolving set of G.  A connected graph G is called a split graph if V(G) can be partitioned into two subsets V1 and V2 where an induced subgraph of G by V1 and V2 is a complete graph and an independent set, respectively.  We also consider a graph, namely the unicyclic graph which is a connected graph containing exactly one cycle.  In this paper, we provide a general sharp bounds of local metric dimension of split graph.  We also determine an exact value of local metric dimension of any unicyclic graphs.

Os certificados de recuperação e seus reflexos sobre a saúde pública
Authors: Vilanculos Laita Nelson Johane , Malinowski Carlos Eduardo , Moreira Freitas da Silva Fernando
Published: January 2023

Este artigo visa discutir os certificados de recuperação e suas repercussões na saúde pública, questionando a segurança desses certificados, partindo da premissa de que eles possam ser expedidos com base em falsos resultados e permitirão a circulação de pessoas sem imunidade, além de relegar a segundo plano a vacinação nos países mais desfavorecidos. A pesquisa é qualitativa e bibliográfica. Conforme ratificado, os certificados de recuperação são vistos por muitos como uma ferramenta para facilitar a verticalização de medidas restritivas, possibilitando a entrada de pessoas não vacinadas em países que exigem imunidade vacinal. Ao final da análise, concluiu-se que a introdução de certificados de recuperação é um paliativo que pode manter uma distribuição desigual da vacinação, mantendo certos países e continentes sem proteção suficiente, o que pode favorecer o surgimento de novas variantes.

Recent Trends of Antibiotic Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Causing Clinical Mastitis in Dairy Herds in Abruzzo and Molise Regions, Italy
Authors: Rossi Franca , Matto Ilaria Del , Saletti Maria Antonietta , Ricchiuti Luciano , Marino Lucio
Published: January 2023

This study was aimed to examine the recent trends of antibiotic resistance (AR) prevalence in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk of animals with clinical mastitis in areas of the Abruzzo and Molise regions in central Italy. Fifty-four S. aureus isolates could be obtained from routine testing for clinical mastitis agents carried out in the author institution in years 2021 and 2022. These were analyzed for phenotypic resistance to eight antibiotics recommended for testing by European norms and belonging to the antibiotic classes used for mastitis treatment in milk producing animals. Moreover, the presence of 14 transferable genetic determinants encoding resistance to the same antibiotics was analyzed by qPCR tests developed in this study. Phenotypic resistance to non-β-lactams was infrequent, with only one 2022 isolate resistant to clindamycin. However, low level resistance to the β-lactam cefoxitin was observed in 59.2% isolates in both years making these isolates classifiable as methicillin resistant. The AR genotypes detected were blaZ gene (50% 2021 isolates and 44.4% 2022 isolates), ermC/T- aphA3-blaZ (one 2021 isolate), ant6-ermC/T-aphA3-blaZ (one 2021 isolate), ermB-blaZ (one 2022 isolate) and mecA-mph (one 2022 isolate). An interview to the veterinarians who conferred the samples, regarding antimicrobials prescribed for mastitis treatment and criteria of usage, indicated a possible causal relation with the AR test results. The low prevalence of AR genotypes, not increasing in time, most probably reflecting the reported management of antibiotic therapies in farms. However, the frequently observed cefoxitin resistance needs to be explained genotypically, further monitored and limited by modifying antibiotic usage practices. The identification of a mecA positive isolate in 2022 suggests to investigate further if this genotype is emerging locally.
Separated Model for Stopping Point Prediction of Autoregressive Sequence
Authors: Liu Tingzhen , Zhang Shengxi , Xiong Qianqian
Published: January 2023

While the language model using the stop sign as an independent token has been widely used to decide when the model should stop, it may lead to the growth of vocabulary dimensions and further problems. Similarly, present research on game algorithms usually estimate stopping point related problems based on the evaluation of the winning rate. However, information redundancy may also exist in such models, thus increasing the training difficulty. Above two types of tasks (and similar autoregressive tasks) show a common problem of stopping point prediction. In this paper, we describe a design of separated model, trying to separate the complexity of stopping point prediction from the main task model, so that the information used for estimating stopping point can be reduced. On this basis, in order to verify the rationality of using separated model, we propose a model-free test method. It judges the separability of transformed data based on point difference and sequence difference metrics. In this way, it can predict the credibility of the separated model inference.
Analisis dan Mitigasi Emisi Gas Buang Akibat Transportasi (Studi Kasus Kabupaten Magetan)
Authors: Purnomoasri RA Dinasty , Handayani Dewi
Published: January 2023

The Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) states that transportation contributes 13.1% of emissions (IPCC, 2006). Magetan Regency plans to support Indonesia in reducing emissions by 20% by 2040 by analysing and mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by the transportation sector. The analysis was conducted by calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on traffic volume survey data and calculating the fuel oil (BBM) used to obtain the amounts of emissions generated. From the analysis, it was found that CO2 emissions generated by the transportation sector in Magetan Regency amounted to 3,105,318.08 tons/year in 2020 and had the potential to increase by 3.31% per year. As mitigation actions, three activities are proposed, namely the use of public transportation, the movement of walking to school and greening. From the three actions, the total emissions are expected to be reduced by 1,422,516 tons/year or equivalent to 45% reduction of total emissions if the three proposed activities are implemented. If this is implemented, Magetan Regency will be able to contribute 0.22% of GHG emission reduction by 2040. If all districts in Indonesia also implement this mitigation, the transportation sector will contribute 9.15% of the emission reduction in Indonesia in 2040.

According to Sustainable Waste Indonesia (SWI) data, less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled and more than 50% still ends up in landfill site. The total volume of waste generated by the City of Surakarta in 2020 is 107,873 tons per year, so a waste management scheme is needed that is the joint responsibility of the government, the private sector and the community. One of the waste management schemes involving community participation is through the Waste Bank. The Waste Bank is one solution to deal with the problem of increasing waste production. The waste bank program is a collective self-subsistent waste management system with the principle of recycling. People who act as bank customers will also benefit by depositing their waste and then saving it through a waste bank and from their savings can be taken as needed. Thus, the waste bank will have a positive impact on the environment and improve economic conditions in a community. The sustainable self-subsistent waste bank management program is a solution in handling waste problems in RW 28, Mojosongo sub-district, Surakarta.

Published: January 2023

A large number of organic compounds, capable to luminesce under influence of various types of radiation, are known nowadays. These substances are called luminophores. Features of the chemical structure of these compounds determine their luminescent properties and behavior of a specific luminophore molecules in one or another environment. Possessing a number of spectral properties, luminophores are widely used in many spheres of human a ctivity. Their usage in biology and medicine plays an important role. Number of new methods of biological research, developed on the basis of luminescent dyes, is growing very quickly. This explains the need for synthesis of new luminescent dyes. Bright and water-soluble fluorescent dyes, for example, are important for sensitive detection of DNA via fluorescent probes. Currently, search for new potential antiviral agents is divided in two main strategies. One trend concerns synthesis of new derivatives of already existing antiviral drugs; chemical synthesis of such compounds is aimed at creating a new, more effective drug. Another trend in work on new antiviral drugs is the search for natural compounds, mainly of plant origin, in order to obtain potential chemotherapeutic agents. An interesting object of synthesis is formazans -- a class of organic substances with various biological activities.Biological and industrial application of formazans begins with their use as analytical reagents and dyes, and ends, primarily interesting for us, with their usage in pharmacology. They found wide practical usage as dyes, indicators of redox reactions, etc. In medicine, formazans are used due to their antioxidant, antiviral, antimicrobial, analgesic, anthelmintic and other properties. Many formazans are used in medicine as indicators of cancer cells, drugs against tuberculosis, influenza, and fungal diseases. Important advantage in of formazans synthesis is fairly easy and cheap methods of their production, available starting materials and speed of synthesis processes. In addition, an interesting direction in search for effective substances is the synthesis of formazans with luminescent properties, which significantly expand areas of their application. In our case, such organic luminophores are formazanonaphthalimides and formazanoacenaphthenquinones, which are close to them in structure.

The aim of the study was to define the extent of occurrence of stereotypic compulsive behaviour in chinchillas (biting the cage, licking the paws, fur chewing, aimless running around the cage) depending on the displayed character type (temperament). Thirty chinchillas were assigned to three character type (temperament) groups on the basis of a behavioural test. The conclusion of the analysis was that the chinchillas not displaying any signs of fear or hyper-excitability spent the least time on stereotypic compulsive behaviour. More timid individuals most frequently displayed oral compulsion such as paw licking or fur chewing, whereas hyperactive ones most frequently were observed to aimlessly run around the cage. It was concluded that the animal's disposition significantly influenced the amount of time spent on repetitive stereotypic behaviour (P ≤ 0.01), and also that the time of day significantly influenced the frequency of chinchillas biting cage bars (P ≤ 0.05). It was observed that chinchillas in group III manifested the analysed behaviour mainly during the night time, in the remaining two groups the intensity of studied traits was more diversified during both day and night. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between most analysed behaviours.

Reduction of the time required for medical evacuation to the regional vascular center in order to carry out percutaneous coronary intervention in case of ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome is an essential factor directly affecting the mortality rate of this condition. The concept of territorial attribution in rendering emergency medical services militates against the effective use of such emergency medical services aimed to promptly deliver patients to the hospital. Research objective. The research objective is to study the efficiency of trans-regional communication in reducing the time required to deliver patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome to hospitals in order to carry out percutaneous coronary intervention and its impact on acute myocardial infarction mortality rate basing on the digital twin of Kurgan region. Materials and methods. the digital twin of the Kurgan region represents the time required to evacuate patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome to regional vascular centers by ambulance crews in pursuance with an applicable order, compared with patient routing in case of trans-regional cooperation with vascular centers of neighboring regions. Results: due to the implementation of trans-regional cooperation, mean patient evacuation time within the region had been reduced by 21,3 ± 9,84 minutes, and mean time on routes from the localities wherefrom it was faster to deliver patients to vascular centers in neighboring regions had been reduced by 55±25,73 minutes. The estimated myocardial infarction mortality rate on average for the Kurgan region caused by medical evacuation time reduction in case of implementing trans-regional cooperation had been reduced by 5,32%. Conclusions: the use of resources of neighboring regions when working out regional orders on routing the patients with acute coronary syndrome in a number of instances contributes to the provision of two-hour availability of percutaneous coronary intervention and serves as a significant reserve for acute myocardial infarction mortality reduction.

For the effective work of employees, it is necessary to competently establish internal communication. To date, dozens of companies provide various network means of internal communication, but not all of them are suitable for a medical organization. P u r p o s e of the study is to study the network means of internal communication in a medical organization. M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s . Network facilities of internal communication, their advantages and disadvantages were analyzed and systematized in the article. The definitions, types of communication networks and communication management are presented. The rules for the security of personal data when using network communication tools are described. A survey of employees was carried out to identify the main facilities of internal communication used, as well as satisfaction from them on the basis of the State Autonomous Healthcare Institution “City Polyclinic No. 21”. A SWOT based on the survey results analysis was carried out. R e s u l t s . 85 employees participated in the study. It showed that the main facilities of electronic internal communication used are the WhatsApp messenger and the electronic document management system. WhatsApp isn’t convenient for a significant part of employees to use, also there are too many working chats and messages in this messenger. Employees don’t often use the electronic document management system and there is a significant part of users who don’t like using it. F i n d i n g s . One of the most convenient facilities of internal network communication is a corporate social network, which, however, is difficult to implement and expensive in terms of costs. A more accessible means of internal communication is the Telegram messenger.

There are organizations for re-homing animals that are also specialized in re-homing dogs and cats who have been research subjects. Why can’t we do this for more animals and especially for the rats that are used extensively in research and they are not intended to be pets as they are not as common as pets? Even though previous research highlights neonatal handling as an essential process for rearing less stressed and emotionally sensitive adult rats, there is very little information about a specific neonatal handling schedule that could be a crucial factor in promoting their welfare and adoption as pets. The aim of this study is to propose a standardized handling schedule assessment based on implementation of a neonatal handling procedure that mimics maternal behavior, in order to have a positive effect on the rats’ welfare, decreasing their stress responsiveness towards humans and promoting their adoption as pets. DA rats (DA/OlaHsd) were handled during postnatal days 1 (D1) to 21 (D21) (experimental group, n=15) using a handling schedule that imitates rat maternal behavior or received only gold standard neonatal handling (control group, n=14). On D22, blinded researchers evaluated the behaviour of both groups according to their responses to handling. Blinding was used, as to try to eliminate biased results, as to examine the rats' behavior against strangers which is a crucial factor for their suitability as pets. The data were collected through a customized assessment form. The statistical analysis of both groups’ cumulative responses showed that the experimental group had less stressful responses compared to the control group (Mann-Whitney (U) test: U= 13; P < 0.01). This neonatal handling schedule may improve rat welfare during their life in the lab. Also, it could be a method that assists laboratory rats to be adopted as pets after their laboratory life.

Published: January 2023

There is a wide range of reported signs for anxious patients in veterinary medicine but specific diagnostic criteria to characterize them is lacking. The objective of this study was to determine the variability in the concepts of anxiety and the criteria used to diagnose anxiety disorders in veterinary medicine. A questionnaire was developed to obtain information through direct responses from 31 professionals in the exercise of clinical ethology with questions based on the subject of canine anxiety (definition, manifestations, and diagnosis). An analysis was performed using contingency tables. Seventy-three percent (73%, n=22) of respondents agreed on one definition. The signs most frequently considered in the diagnosis of this disorder were increased vigilance (90.3%, n=28), increased motor activity (87%, n=27), panting, and altered heart rate (bradycardia/tachycardia) (77.4%, n=24). From these results, homogeneity is observed in the concept of anxiety, but with evidence of diagnostic heterogeneity, which can be related to the wide repertoire of signs that are considered in the questionnaire and are present in dogs, as well as the lack of diagnostic criteria and/or tests that can objectively evaluate each patient in order to obtain more uniform and reliable results.

The preference for animal companionship over human companionship may be predicted by attitudes about pet ownership. We hypothesized that pet attitudes could predict preferences for relationships with pets over humans. We sampled 182 people who named a person and a pet they love and care about. Participants rated their feelings of love, time spent, enjoyment, and equity in both their human and pet relationships. We also presented seven hypothetical negative event scenarios that involve both the pet and human and asked participants to predict their feelings and reactions based on these events. The Pet Attitudes Scale (Templer et al., 1981) was used to assess attitudes towards pets. People had similar positive feelings about their pet-human and human-human relationships. However, people were more likely to react negatively towards a human compared to a pet. Positive pet attitudes predicted more positive and less negative reactions to pets. Positive pet attitudes can predict preference for pet relationships over human relationships and may help researchers identify what relationships work best depending on a personʻs pet attitudes.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 6.5 million abandoned pets are housed in shelters in the United States. Of those who are sheltered 670,000 dogs are euthanized. An opportunity exists to reduce the number of euthanized animals, primarily through adoption. Several benefactors to this animal rescue initiative have prompted pet rescue adoption through television commercials. This study explored the perception of viewer “attitude toward the ad” and “intent to adopt” for a pet rescue television commercial. Study respondents (N=335) watched “Somebody to Love” a commercial featuring a lonely man and his emotional attachment with an abandoned dog. Gender identity was significantly related to attitudes toward the commercial. Participants identifying themselves as feminine held more favorable attitudes towards the commercial, whereas participants identifying as more masculine reported less favorable attitudes towards the commercial. Work status and ethnicity were also significant predictors of attitude toward the ad. Non-workers were more highly responsive to the commercial, than were students or those in working capacity. Participants identifying as any ethnicity other than white held less favorable attitudes towards the commercial, which features white actors. This implies it is important to examine commercial content regarding plot and context, as the viewer response is affected by gender, ethnicity and employment status. Producers of future animal rescue commercials should consider content specific to alternate human identities, where rescue animals can facilitate a common compassion among potentially discordant identity groups.

ABSTRACTMarine litter is currently an environmental problem that has become a global issue and attracts everyone's attention because it has a significant negative impact on the marine and coastal environment. One of the concerns at this time is the amount of marine litter in coastal areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the type and composition of waste on the beach. This study was conducted on nine coastal beaches of the North Central Timor Regency in August 2020. The sampling technique was used by adapting the Guidelines on Survey and Monitoring of Litter method. Sampling was carried out by drawing a line 100 m long parallel to the coast and a transect width of 10 m from land to sea with sampling boundaries, namely dunes, vegetation and anthropogenic activities. The results of the study show that the composition of plastic waste is 79,7%, paper and cardboard 3,5%, foam and cork 2,7%, cloth 1,8%, glass and ceramics 1,6%, rubber 2,6%, wood 1,9%, metal 1%, and others 5,3%. The category of litter that dominates the entire study beach is plastic.Keywords: Beach, litter, plastic, North Central Timor Regency, Timor Leste
The Method of Search and Analysis of Oppositions as the Basis of Historical Systematization of Philosophy (about the Concept of Charles Renouvier)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Krotov Artem A.
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the features of understanding of the history of philosophical process by the leading representative of French Neo-Kantianism. The binary scheme, thoroughly substantiated by Renоuvier in the “Sketch of the Systematic Classification of Philosophical Doctrines”, was a certain result of his previous creative way. In the “Textbook of Philosophy of the New Age”, he, highlighting the pantheism–idealism dilemma, expresses his sympathies for eclecticism. In the “Textbook of Ancient Philosophy”, he advocates giving philosophy a scientific character by combining the laws of reason and history. In “Experiences of General Criticism” he builds a system of neo-criticism, identifying phenomena with reality. Finally, the “Sketch” presents an attempt at an objective consideration of the history of philosophy. Renоuvier identifies six oppositions passing through the entire history of thought (thing–consciousness, infinite–finite, evolution–creation, necessity–freedom, happiness–duty, evidence–belief). The strength of his method is the desire to make a choice between opposing trends, taking into account intellectual motives, passions, practical inducements of varying degrees of community. But both elements of reductionism and unfounded optimism about the lack of influence of all kinds of systems on his own constructions are present in his approach.
Cartografia Social e Territórios em disputa nas praias de Angra dos Reis - Rio de Janeiro

Published: January 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal contribuir para o campo do conhecimento, em construção, da Cartografia Social, ao relatar uma experiência cartográfica vivida em sala de aula com jovens do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal localizada em um bairro periférico de Angra dos Reis, município litorâneo do Rio de Janeiro, situado na região sul fluminense. Trata-se de uma experiência vivenciada por professores e alunos da graduação em Geografia vinculados ao Instituto de Educação de Angra dos Reis (IEAR/UFF), juntamente a alunos e professores de escolas públicas de Angra dos Reis, possibilitada pelo Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência – PIBID. Partimos da contextualização da problemática de privatização das praias de Angra dos Reis, tema escolhido pela turma do 9º ano, e que aqui neste artigo estamos analisando enquanto um conflito territorial. Já a Cartografia Social é apresentada como uma ferramenta de análise e de desconstrução desta problemática em sala de aula, e, na nossa análise, é entendida enquanto um instrumento de luta territorial. Isso posto, trazemos à tona, o relato da experiência cartográfica em sala de aula, o que nos fez perceber que o campo da Cartografia Social também contribui com propostas didático-pedagógicas capazes de conduzir os alunos nas aulas de Geografia ao saber cartográfico de ler, fazer e interpretar mapas, e sobretudo, a construção do saber crítico, político e territorial, pois se trata de uma prática que, além de trabalhar com o conhecimento dos alunos sobre seus próprios territórios, os coloca como produtores de conhecimento, e não meros espectadores.

Nos últimos anos, a alfabetização cartográfica tem chamado atenção no âmbito da Geografia Escolar. Percebe-se limitações por parte dos professores de Geografia no ensino da Cartografia, o que gera a necessidade de repensar este ensino para a formação de alunos capazes de fazerem uma leitura significativa dos mapas, além de decodificação pura e simples (PASSINI, 2009). Torna-se imprescindível que o aluno não apenas decodifique os signos cartográficos, mas que também percebam os conceitos e as espacialidades do que está sendo observado, para que a leitura seja realmente significativa (KATUTA, 1997). Diante das dificuldades, o professor de geografia deve buscar de forma criativa novas metodologias de prática de ensino. Neste contexto, entendendo que o ensino se torna mais eficaz quando associado à inserção de recursos didáticos. O objetivo deste trabalho é compartilhar a experiência acerca da utilização de recursos didáticos para o ensino mais significativo da Cartografia para alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental da Escola Municipal Odilon Gonzaga Braveza, localizada em Fortaleza, CE. Os usos dos recursos didáticos já disponíveis e criados para um ensino mais direcionado constituíram subsídios para uma retomada de estudos cartográficos após o período de ensino remoto. Assim, no desfecho do semestre os alunos se reuniram na sala de multimídia da escola, onde equipes foram formadas com o objetivo de reforçar os conteúdos de Cartografia vistos até então. Os resultados apontaram melhoria, por parte dos alunos, na capacidade de associação do conteúdo ministrado ao longo do semestre.
Numerical Investigation of the Perforation Friction Loss and Discharge Coefficient

Published: January 2023

Among the efforts to optimize hydraulic fracturing treatments in multi-stage horizontal wells, extreme limited entry (XLE) perforating has evolved as a technique to increase the stage length and reduce the total stage count with no compromise to the well productivity. The frictional losses in such a choked fluid diversion practice is tremendous, and it is known to change dynamically due to the perforation erosion process. The orifice-based pressure drop equation, commonly used to estimate the perforation friction loss, contains a dimensionless kinetic energy correction factor, the coefficient of discharge (Cd). Cd is used to correct the ideal rate of discharge (Qi) obtained by solving Bernoulli's equation, to the actual rate (Q) due to the non-ideal effects of flow contraction and friction.

Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), this work modeled the flow through perforations and developed a quantitative understanding of the Cd for sharp-edge drilled and semi-round jet perforations. The study also investigated the Cd sensitivity to several design parameters such as the perforation diameter, tunnel length, and fluid viscosity. In addition to the steady state simulations, a transient erosion model with dynamic mesh capability was developed to predict the time-dependent Cd behavior due to the erosional process.

The results identified a Cd value of 0.72 for a 0.35" sharp-edge drilled perforation. The discharge efficiency of actual jet and eroded perforations is higher. The model estimated a Cd ranging from 0.75 to 0.83 for a 0.35" jet perforation due to the semi-round entry and inlet burr effect. The erosion process, which dynamically changes the perforation size and shape, also improves the perforation's discharge efficiency. The transient erosion model predicted a 23% increase in the perforation size and a post-erosion Cd of 0.94. The sensitivity analysis indicated that the smaller the perforation size, the longer the tunnel, the higher the viscosity and proppant concentration, and the smaller the proppant size, the lower theCd. This numerical work provides an insight on the Cd value and its dependency on the perforation parameters, which helps to understand the wide range of values reported in the literature and reduce the uncertainty in estimating the perforation friction.
