Authors: Tokuda Eduarda Noriko , Lima César Gustavo da Rocha , Oliveira Jefferson Nascimento de
Published: October 2024

The Paraná River Hydrographic Region is of great socioeconomic relevance for Brazil. Therefore, due to the history of droughts in the region, the aims of the current study were to assess rainfall spatial and temporal variability, as well as to analyze drought features based on using the Normalized Percentage Index (NPI) to contribute to water management processes in Upper Paraná River (UPR). The study area encompasses 14 Planning and Management Units, distributed in Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and São Paulo states. Climate data were obtained from the National Hydrometeorological Network database. A geostatistical analysis of rainfall was carried out, based on the annual series of 408 stations, and subsequently the calculation of NPI for classifying the droughts severity. All periods analyzed (1990-2020) showed spatial dependence (moderate to high), allowing the elaboration of droughts maps. The dry and rainy periods and areas did not indicate direct influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo units were the main contributors to the identified droughts. The data showed that 2010-2020 was the driest decade of the period, with a greater contribution from the 2019/2020 period, where droughts exceeded 60% of the area for two consecutive years, an event never identified in the last 3 decades. The NPI curves referring to “initial drought” and “mild” allowed verifying years of water crisis when their summed percentages reached at least 50% of the region. The methodology used is versatile, allowing its use in any watershed. Keywords: Rains. Water management. NPI. Kriging.

Land use pattern classification of remote sensing imagery data is imperative to research that is used in remote sensing applications. Remote sensing (RS) technologies were exploited to mine some of the significant spatially variable factors, such as land cover and land use (LCLU), from satellite images of remote arid areas in Karnataka, India. Four diverse classification techniques unsupervised, and supervised (Maximum likelihood, Mahalnobis Distance, and Minimum Distance) are applied in Bellary district in Karnataka, India for the classification of the raw satellite images. The developed maps are then visually compared with each other and accuracy evaluations make using of ground-truths are carried out. It was initiated that the Maximum likelihood technique gave the finest results and both Minimum distance and Mahalnobis distance methods overvalued agricultural land areas. In spite of missing a few insignificant features due to the low resolution of the satellite images, a high-quality accord between parameters extracted automatically from the developed maps and field observations was found. Keywords: Remote sensing (RS), land cover and land use (LCLU).

In this paper, we will discuss the role of the built environment as storytelling in the context of Oscar winner Parasite, a film by director Bong Joon-Ho (2019). We will look at the potentiality of the built environment in unveiling film narratives, especially regarding immanent forms of class struggle and exploitation in everyday life. We will investigate the troubling power relations between the rich and the poor in contemporary society and the ways that the concepts of alienation/estrangement, objectification/reification and commodity fetishism can be used to bring these relations to the fore when analyzing the movie. Keywords: Parasite; built environment; inequality; class struggle; alienation; everyday life.

Published: October 2024

Water quality is one of the topics of greatest concern worldwide, as it is a fundamental resource for life, whose constant monitoring is necessary. The objective of this work was to carry out seasonal monitoring of water quality in the Urutu-MS stream, occupied by more than 50% of eucalyptus silviculture forests. Water samples were collected from five points seasonally between autumn 2019 and summer 2020. Twenty-three parameters included such as temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen, Conductivity, Alkalinity, Organic matter, Chloride, Sulfate, Total iron, Color, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total phosphorus, Hardness, Aluminum, Manganese, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, Copper and Dissolved Iron. The results showed that there is a difference in water quality between the seasons due to the different concentrations of physicochemical parameters. Spring was in class II, while the others were in class I, showing the influence of the onset of rain after the dry winter. Interactions between parameters followed conventional associations such as Alkalinity and Conductivity, SDT and Conductivity, Color and Turbidity, SST and Turbidity, Conductivity and Calcium, Conductivity and Magnesium. Alkalinity and TDS being the main parameters influenced by seasonality. Keywords: Paraná Watershed, Land use and Land Cover, Cerrado, Silviculture, Seasonality.

Authors: Guedes-Bruni Rejan Rodrigues , DaMatta Maria Vitória , Brito Mariana Reis de , Sales Gabriel Paes da Silva , Peixoto Ariane Luna
Published: October 2024

Artistic expressions convey the perception, culture, and emotional dimensions of those who conceive, interact with, and transmit them. Patativa do Assaré, a popular poet, exemplifies this multifaceted grasp through his extensive work that portrays the landscape, culture, people, and history of the northeastern backlands. His book, "Sing There That I Sing Here - Philosophy of a Northeastern Troubadour," is the focus of this study. The aim was to identify common plant names, analyse them, and assess whether the poet could still draw inspiration from these plants today. The verses contain 2,639 citations related to nature, with 597 terms, 64 of which directly refer to plants. Botanical names were inferred through verse analysis and comparison with herbarium specimens from the Cariri region of Ceará. Despite increasing anthropisation, much of the landscape and place could largely be retold. This research joins others in enhancing the value of biological and cultural conservation, contributing to the conservation status of the imburana and pequi, as evoked by the artist in his work. Keywords: Ethnobotany; Popular plant names; Northeastern Flora; Patativa do Assaré; Cariri Ceará.

Published: October 2024

Agricultural production is directly related to the environmental conditions. Favorable conditions can lead to higher productivity and product quality. However, climate change may pose a threat to agricultural production across the globe, as a rise in temperature may cause a decrease in the extent of suitable areas for growing certain crops. Using spatial analysis and data from future climate change scenarios developed by the IPCC, this research aims to evaluate the impact of climate change on the sugarcane and citrus plantations in the state of Sao Paulo from agroclimatic zoning mapping. The results of this research demonstrate that both crops can suffer great reduction of areas suitable for cultivation if there are severe changes in the climate regime, and these results can be used by managers and researchers to mitigate these potential impacts, as well as to clarify how climate change affects life on the planet, with the possible reduction of food and bioenergy production.
MILITIA FORM AND ITS PARADIGMS IN THE SPACE-TIME OF THE URBAN IN THE METROPOLIS OF RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Silva Marcio Rufino
Published: October 2024

The article presents five hypotheses regarding our evaluation of the current emergence of the geographical space of the militia form. To construct this hypothesis, the Metropolitan West of Rio de Janeiro (MWRJ) has been selected as the preferred locus for the rise of this social form. In an exercise of regionalization, we connect the terms of this socio-spatial presence within the scope of the current center-periphery relationships transcribed in the Brazilian urban network. Presenting the hypotheses and weaving them from cartographic data, we bring elements to the understanding of the negative character of the modernization entangled in this fragment of the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro in recent decades. Keywords: Metropolitan West of Rio de Janeiro; Milita Form; Regionalization; Center-periphery Relation; Late Modernization
THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE AND ANALYSIS PROPOSAL ON SMALL CITIES, LOCAL CITIES, SMALL LOCALITIES, MIKRIPOLITAN SPACE
Authors: Casaril Carlos Cassemiro
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze and define the appropriate terminology for "small cities," "local cities," "small localities," or "mikripolitan space". To achieve this, one of the methodological procedures was a comprehensive literature review regarding the subject, highlighting key authors of Brazilian geography, such as Pierre Monbeig, Milton Santos, Roberto Lobato Corrêa, Tania Maria Fresca, and Ângela Maria Endlich. The study underscores the lack of available research on these geographical spaces. Monbeig (1957) argued that small cities warrant investigation due to their unique complexity. Santos (2008) also acknowledged the paucity of studies on these cities, accentuating their significance as entities comparable to large cities in developing countries. In Espaço e Método [Space and Method], Santos (2008b [1985]) expounded on how complexity increases as the scale of study diminishes. While Endlich (2017) reported an increase in academic production on small localities, she nonetheless observed that it remains insufficient. Data from the 2022 Demographic Census demonstrated that in 88.01% of Brazilian municipalities the population is less than 50,000, thus reflecting the importance of this topic. In order to exemplify, the study also proposes to analyze the network and the intermediate geographic region of Cascavel in the state of Paraná. Keywords: Small Cities; Local Cities; Small Localities; Mikripolitan Space; Geographic Region.

GÜNCEL YARGI KARARLARI IŞIĞINDA EVLENME YOLUYLA TÜRK VATANDAŞLIĞININ KAZANILMASINDA MİLLİ GÜVENLİK VE KAMU DÜZENİ KAVRAMLARININ İDARENİN TAKDİR YETKİSİ BAĞLAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Eroğlu Erman
Published: October 2024

Türk vatandaşlığının evlenme yoluyla kazanılmasında idarenin takdir yetkisinin sınırları kesin bir biçimde çizilememektedir. İdarenin takdir yetkisinin sınırlarının belirlenmesi hukuki öngörülebilirlik açısından önem arz etmektedir. Hukuki öngörülebilirlik, demokratik bir toplumda, bireylere vatandaşlık kazanabilmeleri için hangi koşulların ve kriterlerin geçerli olduğunu net bir şekilde sunarak, bu bireylerin haklarının korunmasını sağlar. İyi tanımlanmış sınırlar olmadan, takdir yetkisinin kullanımı keyfi kararlarla sonuçlanabilir ve bu da bireylerin haklarını ihlal edebilir. İdarenin takdir yetkisinin önem arz ettiği alanlardan birisi evlilik yoluyla vatandaşlığın kazanılmasıdır. Türkiye’de, birçok ülkede olduğu gibi, bir vatandaşla evlenmek, yabancı eşe doğrudan vatandaşlık kazandırmaz. Bunun yerine, idare, vatandaşlığa alınma kararını vermeden önce her durumu kişi özelinde çeşitli unsurları gözeterek değerlendirmektedir. Bu unsurların başında milli güvenlik ve kamu düzeni kavramları gelmektedir. Kamu düzeni ve milli güvenlik gibi belirsiz kavramlar üzerinde idarenin takdir yetkisini kullanması öngörülebilirliğe engel teşkil edebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, özellikle milli güvenlik ve kamu düzeni kavramlarına odaklanarak, evlilik yoluyla Türk vatandaşlığı kazanımı bağlamında idarenin takdir yetkisinin sınırlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Türk hukuk doktrininde bu kavramların sınırlarına ilişkin çeşitli görüşler olsa da yargı mercilerinin idari kararları incelerken dikkate aldığı özel kriterler konusunda literatürde belirgin bir boşluk bulunmaktadır. Bu kriterlerin anlaşılması, idarenin takdir yetkisinin sınırlarının şekillendirilmesinde kritik bir rol oynadığı için hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, milli güvenlik ve kamu düzeni ile ilgili davalarda yargı mercilerinin kullandığı kriterler incelenerek evlenme yoluyla vatandaşlığın kazanılmasında idarenin takdir yetkisi irdelenmektedir.

Published: October 2024

The paper will present a retrospective overview of the practices of forced sterilization of mentally disabled persons in the USA and European countries, and will point to ethical dilemmas accompanying this practice. We have tried to understand forced sterilization through Foucault’s concept of biopolitics - a series of practices and technologies used by the powerful in order to govern society. The application of forced sterilization in modern Western societies over those who are considered unable to make decisions regarding parenthood, reveals the nature of the parenthood discourse. This discourse points to sharp polarization between those who can be parents and those who cannot, although ultimately both groups are objects of disciplining. It is conducted by various techniques, which are justified by citing socio-utilitarian reasons and/or welfare. The question remains open as to whether social management of parenthood, either regarding its abolition or norming of parenthood practices, constitutes the violation of human rights.
MULTIPLE HOMOCIDE AND THE PUBLIC’S PERCEPTION

In this paper, the author discusses the crime of multiple homocide and public’s perception by analyzing mass murder as one of the most serious crimes against life and body. The issue of prevention is not only a matter of criminal law, but also applies to the media that report on crimes. Mass killings are not a new crime, and as such they are criminalized in the Criminal Code, but in relation to reporting on them, new, preventive forms of work should be undertaken. In reporting on mass killings, written and electronic social media should respect a code of ethics that would oblige them to inform the general public about the injured and endangered right to life of individuals. By avoiding the incitement of Amok violence or Werther’s syndrome, and by supporting positive examples as prevention, the possibility of further mass murder and violence would be minimized. Only through reporting in accordance with professional standards and ethical rules can adverse effects be avoided.
Analysing the European Defence Fund’s financing distribution across EU countries: what drives national participation in defence-industrial integration projects?
Authors: Kuokštytė Ringailė
Published: October 2024

The establishment of the European Defence Fund (EDF) marks a significant shift in how EU Member States approach the integration of the defence industry as it aims to systematically promote inter-European defence-industrial cooperation across national defence sectors. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence of the actual dynamics regarding EDF implementation. While there are accounts of EU countries’ varying political positions on defence integration, including its industrial aspect, it remains unclear whether Member States’ actual participation in integration projects aligns with these positions. Are national motives consistent once effective defenceindustrial integration is underway? The findings, based on Masson’s (2024) data on by-country distribution of EDF project financing (2021–2022), present a more nuanced picture of EU countries’ effective engagement with defence-industrial integration than anticipated by the political perspective. While there is a positive relationship between participation in the EDF and defence market size, strategic culture does not influence EU members’ involvement in the Fund. Furthermore, while liberal economicindustrial governance is negatively associated with national participation in EDF projects, a country’s institutional quality has a significant positive relationship with it. This article reveals more complex dynamics of EDF implementation than suggested by the political perspective on defence-industrial integration pre-EDF.
Sleep Disorders in Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Patients typically exhibit cognitive impairment, memory loss, diminished social and occupational functioning, as well as language and motor disorders. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau in the brain. These pathological changes not only disrupt neuronal function and lead to cognitive deficits, but also interfere with sleep regulation, resulting in sleep disorders. Such disturbances can diminish nighttime sleep quality and contribute to daytime functional impairments, further exacerbating cognitive decline. Therefore, exploring the interplay between cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and sleep disorders is crucial for enhancing the quality of life of Alzheimer’s patients. This review summarizes current literature on the interconnections among Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive impairment, and sleep disorders. Sleep disturbances are prevalent in Alzheimer’s patients and can also occur in those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, which often precedes Alzheimer’s onset. Such sleep disorders may promote and accelerate the accumulation of amyloid-β and tau proteins [1-3]. Furthermore, Alzheimer’s patients may be more vulnerable to sleep disturbances, creating a potential vicious cycle. Further investigation into these relationships may provide valuable insights for the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
The Ambiguities of Translation: Fuseli, Blake, and the Making of Aphorisms on Man
Authors: Carter Sarah
Published: October 2024

Johann Caspar Lavater’s Vermischte unphysiognomische Regeln zur Selbst- und Menschenkenntnis (1787) is a classic work of Enlightenment thinking that entered English circulation with a split identity. Published as Aphorisms on Man in 1788, it was brought before an English audience through the printmaking skills of William Blake and the agency of Lavater’s childhood friend Henry Fuseli. However, Lavater might well have recalled the saying “Traduttore, traditore” (Translator, traitor). Fuseli had not failed to close the lexical gaps between the German and the English. Rather, his ideas had transformed the work, from its ambiguous frontispiece through to its concluding lines—​interventions that challenged Lavater’s claim to authorship of the book. If the usual stories told about Aphorisms on Man describe the volume as a “product of friendship” or a “labour of love,” I turn this convivial alliance on its head to suggest that a closer look at its behind-the-scenes production reveals a different narrative, one that pivots on rivalry as much as collaboration.
Influence of Supervision on Employee Retention in Public Universities in Central Rift Valley Region of Kenya.
Authors: Wakala Salome M. , Kipchumba Simon K.
Published: October 2024

The Public Universities are navigating an increasingly competitive landscape, necessitating the retention of key employees to secure and maintain a competitive edge. Globalization and innovative management practices have intensified competition for public universities, both locally and internationally. Critical human resource management practices such as promotion, training and development, remuneration, and employee supervision directly influence employee perceptions of their organization. This study aims to explore the impact of supervision on employee retention, grounded in expectancy theory. Utilizing a descriptive research design, the study targeted a population of 2,462 individuals, including teaching, administrative, and support staff. A sample of 217 respondents was selected through purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques. The reliability of the research instruments was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and a coefficient score of 0.87 was obtained indicating high reliability. Primary data was collected via questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), employing both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were presented through frequencies, means, standard deviations, and percentages in tables and charts, while inferential statistics included Pearson’s correlation analysis and both simple and multiple regression analysis, with hypotheses tested at a 5% significance level. Results from the Pearson’s correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between employee supervision and retention (p < 0.05). Regression analysis confirmed that supervision significantly influences employee retention (p < 0.05). Consequently, the study recommends that universities develop and implement effective supervisory support guidelines. Future research could explore the role of other factors such as compensation structures, institutional culture or career development opportunities in influencing employee retention, particularly in different types of academic institutions or in other geographical regions.
Güzele Ne Oldu? Antik Yunan’dan Bugüne Sanatı Tanımlama Aracının Dönüşümü
Authors: Yıldırım Betül
Published: October 2024

Sanat felsefesi tarihinin en köklü mirası olarak görülebilecek güzellik, yüzyıllardır felsefi tartışmalarının önemli bir kavramı olagelmiştir. Güzelliğin tarihi, aynı zamanda bir kültürün sanata nasıl baktığının da tarihidir. Bu kavramın felsefi tartışmalarda yerini koruyor olmasında, kavramın ilk kullanıldığı andan itibaren pek çok farklı kavramı çağrıştırmasının, kavramın belirsizliğinin ve neyin güzel olduğu konusunda bir uzlaşıya varmanın güçlüğünün etkisi büyüktür. Sanatın tanımını yaparken güzelliğin ne kadar önemli olduğunun anlaşılabilmesi, güzelin tarihsel süreçte nasıl anlam değişikliğine uğradığını belirlemekle mümkündür. Günümüz sanatını güzel üzerinden tanımlama imkânı olup olmadığı meselesine dair yürütülen çalışmaları netleştirebilmek adına, Antik Yunan’dan itibaren güzelliğe bakış açısında ne gibi farklılıkların meydana geldiğini tespit etmek önemli bir başlangıç noktasıdır. Antik Yunan’dan itibaren sanatın merkezi konumunda olan güzellik, 19. yüzyılın sonuna kadar bu görüşün sorgulanmasını gerektirecek eserler tarih sahnesinde görülmediğinden bu görüşün aksini düşünme gereği hissedilmez. 18. yüzyıldan itibaren, sanatı tanımlama aracı olan güzelin yanına Kant yüce kavramını, sonraki yüzyılda ise Schiller, Hegel, Rosenkranz gibi isimler çirkin kavramını ilave ederek bu kavramı zenginleştirilmeye başlasalar da bu girişimler, sanat eserlerinin güzellik üzerinden değerlendirilmesi fikrinde çarpıcı bir değişikliğe neden olmaz. Bu yeni kavramların yarattığı etki, güzelliğin baskın bir görüş olması durumunun daha esnek hâle gelmesidir. Ancak Modernizmle sanatçıların güzel kavramıyla açıklanması mümkün olmayan eserler üretmesi ve Çağdaş Sanatla güzelliğin zaman içerisinde Danto’nun ifadesiyle fobiye dönüşmesi (kalliphobia), bugünün sanatını nasıl değerlendirebileceğimiz sorusunu sormamıza neden olur. Bu sorgulamada Wittgenstein’ın sanatın güzel, hoş vb. sıfatlar aracılığıyla tanımlanamayacağı düşüncesini ortaya atmasının rolü büyüktür. Bugün sanatını, eser-gerçeklik sınırlarının ortadan kalktığı, çoğulcu, özgür, karmaşık bir sanat dünyası içerisinde sadece güzel üzerinden açıklamak artık olası değildir. Makalenin bütününde bu dönüşüm sürecinin neden ve nasıl gerçekleştiği mercek altına alınarak günümüz sanatının nasıl değerlendirilebileceği meselesi irdelenmiştir.

Cognitive abilities, and the capacity to perform everyday tasks. Early diagnosis is crucial in managing the disease effectively, but it remains a challenge. In recent years, deep learning has shown promise in aiding medical diagnoses, particularly through the analysis of complex data. This project explores a new approach to detecting Alzheimer’s by combining brain MRI scans and speech spectrograms. Using deep learning models, this research examines how well these two different types of data can identify Alzheimer’s, both individually and together. By integrating these datasets using the Keras Functional API, the goal is to enhance diagnostic accuracy, offering a potentially more reliable and non-invasive method for early detection. The hope is that this research will contribute valuable insights to the fight against Alzheimer’s, helping to improve early diagnosis and, ultimately, patient care.
