PINOS DE FIBRA DE VIDRO X PINOS METÁLICOS, VANTAGENS E DESVANTAGENS: Uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Rocha Ayume Rodrigues , Viana Henrique Cury
Published: November 2024

Both metal and fiberglass posts are intraradicular components used to aid in the oral rehabilitation of patients who have suffered major coronary destruction. Each post has its own indication, presenting advantages and disadvantages that need to be taken into account when indicating each treatment plan for patients. This work aims to present metal posts and fiberglass posts, exposing their advantages and disadvantages, and can serve as an information source for both dental students and professionals who have already graduated. Scientific articles related to the proposed theme, available in the online databases BVSalud, PUBMed, Lilacs, Scielo and Google Scholar, presented in Portuguese and/or English and published between 2020 and 2024, were used to compose the bibliographic basis of this work. It is concluded that both metal posts and fiberglass posts are efficient within their indications.
Georgii Adamovich and “The Russian Annals”
Authors:   University of Milan, Schruba Manfred
Published: November 2024

The paper highlights Georgii Adamovich’s relations with “Russkie zapiski [Russian Annals]” journal (Paris; Shanghai, 1937–1939). It briefly discusses three of four chosen aspects of the given subject: 1) Adamovich’s publications in the journal; 2) a review of Adamovich’s book “Na Zapade [In the West]” in “Russkie zapiski”; 3) Adamovich’s own reviews of the journal’s single issues in “Poslednie Novosti [Latest News]” newspaper. The essay examines in detail the fourth aspect of the writer’s relations with the journal — the mentioning of Adamovich in the editorial correspondence, kept in the Mark Vishniak papers at the Hoover Institution Archives (Stanford University). Adamovich’s name is quite often mentioned in the correspondence of the journal’s secretary M.V. Vishniak with M.N. Pavlovskii, the publisher from Shanghai, and with P.N. Miliukov, the editor-in-chief, — mainly as a possible contributor to the next issue or as a critic who reviewed a recent issue. The letters also contain evaluative statements on Adamovich’s creative work and personality. The correspondence clarifies why three review articles under the common title “From the World of Literature” written by Adamovich didn’t turn into a regular feature in “Russkie zapiski”.
"The Letter to Bossard" (1921) by Ivan Bunin: Autograph and Derived Texts
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bakuntsev Anton V. , Morozov Sergei N. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Protopopova Anna V. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to one of the little-known journalistic works of Ivan Bunin, which, having remained unpublished during the author’s lifetime, nevertheless formed the basis of a number of his other similar works. The article examines — from the point of view of textual and source studies — the “genetic” connection of the “Letter to Bossard” (1921) with these texts derived from it (to one degree or another), created in 1921–1952 in Russian and French — both by Bunin himself and by third parties (in particular, translators). The article emphasizes that in the case of the “Letter to Bossard”, researchers are dealing with a situation common to the creative manner of a writer, when not the same work has several texts (which is quite standard for textual studies), but, on the contrary, the same text is used as some kind of a literary material for creating different works, including relatively independent from each other and even from the ‘source’ text. The article uses archival materials from the Russian Archive in Leeds, the Department of Manuscripts of the University of Edinburgh and the State Archive of Russian Federation.
Dmitrii Kobiakov and Aleksei Remizov: Features of Memory
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (the Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Obatnina Elena R.
Published: November 2024

The publication presents rare archival material related to the unknown history of Aleksei Remisov’s contacts with the younger generation of creative emigration. Dmitrii Kobiakov is a flamboyant figure of the Russian Monparnasse. His destiny and literary path in the second half of the 1920s were closely associated with the famous writer. The publication of 35 letters of Kobiakov to Remizov allows to restore these lost pages of the Russian emigration history. Comments to the epistolary material are provided with newly found materials from emigrant newspapers and little available archival sources. After World War II, Kobiakov returned to the USSR. This choice dictated to him a strategy of literary behavior and correction of past life events in a new living environment. The author localizes the story about Kobiakov’s biography on the problem of self-censorship of so-called “returnees”. The article and the researcher’s comments present for the first time a collection of the main body of D. Kobiakov’s biographical and bibliographical materials.
"Zovy Drevnosti" and from "Iz Mirovoi Poezii": the Peculiarities of Émigré "Reprints" of the Author’s Poetic Anthologies
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Orlitskiy Yuriy B.
Published: November 2024

This article examines the fundamental changes made by K. Bal’mont in his 1908 books. These changes reflected the poet's new ideas about his own status and that of his anthology books, which became apparent first and foremost in their authorial composition and in the fundamentally expanded poetic repertoire of the works included in the collections. “From World Poetry” book covers a considerably longer period of time, while maintaining the total number of authors, but expanding it with samples of prosimetry and free verse. The new “Calls of Antiquity” have expanded by including two new sections and are much more diverse in terms of metrics and stanzas.
Irina Knorring’s Diary: Preparing for Publication
Authors: Nevzorova Irina M.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to show the main directions of work for preparing the publication of the poet Irina Nikolaevna Knorring’s Diary (1906–1943), peaceful life in Kharkov, Russian revolution, immigration, Tunisian period (1920–1925) and French period (1925–1940). The preparation included: 1) checking the text according to handwritten sources (special attention was paid to the francicisms and the French text translation), 2) making comments on the text in order to transform random notes into a source of reliable information inscribed in the historical and literary contexts, 3) compiling the Annotated Index of Names (total 1400 persons). The main feature while commenting on the Diary as a literary document is a large amount of bibliographic work. The diary was published as a two-volume edition.
The Chess Cryptography of Vladimir Nabokov’s Novel “The Real Life of Sеbastian Knight
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kibalnik Sergey A.
Published: November 2024

Contrary to popular belief, Nabokov's novel “The Real Life of Sebastian Knight” is closely connected to his personal life. The autobiographical subtext of this work is the love affair experienced by the writer with Nina Guadanini. In the novel, this could only be expressed cryptographically, as a kind of hidden message to Nabokov's wife, Vera Slonim. A special role is played by the chess symbolism of the novel, the meaning of which Nabokov himself denied. However, it is not always and not in everything that writers should be trusted. In it — as well as in the novel as a whole, many specific circumstances of his personal life turned out to be obscured and radically transformed.
Russian Voice in Finland
Authors:   Warsaw University, Lutsevich Lyudmila F.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the “Russian voice in Finland”, which for 17 years sounded monologue (mostly imperial-official) in the pro-government “Finland newspaper” (1900–1917). During the collapse of the empire, polyphony appears in the highly ramified Russian-language press of the Grand Duchy, due to the variety of political ideas and, accordingly, the variety of periodicals. The author of the article focuses on the programmatic speeches of the private “Voice of the Russian Colony” newspaper (1918), the publisher-editor of which was K.I. Arabazhin. The newspaper, created by the community, was called, as the study showed, to help Russian emigrants and refugees “to have their needs met in education, enlightenment, Russian books, newspapers, theaters, in the creation of professional organizations”, etc., to raise their “Voice” in defense of the Russian population of Finland, to stand up for its “unity” on the basis of culture and creativity. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds and professional staff, the newspaper's voice was barely audible, and its life was short-lived.
Analisando Modelos Contrapostos de Licença-paternidade
Authors: Spellmann Samuel
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo apresenta análise crítico-comparativa entre os modelos de licença-paternidade, licença-maternidade e licença-parental da Suécia e da Dinamarca. Isto é feito de modo a pautar a discussão sobre os modelos possíveis de implementação da licença-paternidade, visando melhor alimentar o debate legislativo-acadêmico no Brasil, muito embora se constate o ambiente de contrarreformas estruturais na Seguridade Social, em meio a atual Crise do Capital. Inicialmente, é apresentado um panorama sobre a legislação voltada à licença parental em ambas as nações escandinavas. Após, é estabelecida análise comparativa entre os modelos sueco e dinamarquês. A escolha pela análise de ambos os paradigmas se justifica pelo caráter mutuamente oposto que os mesmos carregam, e pelas derivações que a implementação de políticas de austeridade no âmbito da Licença-parental acarretou no cenário doméstico destes países. O artigo presta especial atenção para o Modelo de Licença Exclusiva Não-Transferível e suas consequências para a ampliação da fruição da licença-paternidade na Suécia. Além disso, através do estudo do modelo dinamarquês, é estatisticamente demonstrado o nexo entre o não pagamento integral dos benefícios da licença-parental e a menor utilização deste direito social por genitores e adotantes homens.
política e o controle dos gastos tributários à luz da Constituição Federal e da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal
Authors: Leite Castelo Samuel , Duarte Moraes Castelo Aline , Aderaldo Castelo Neto Placido
Published: November 2024

A política de gastos tributários do Governo do Estado do Ceará movimentou o montante de R$ 1.106 bilhões de reais em 2019 e R$ 1. 204 bilhões de reais em 2020. Estas importâncias estão baseadas na estimativa constante na Lei Orçamentária Anual - LOA, sendo que, em 2019, o importe efetivamente renunciado foi de R$ 1.227 bilhões de reais. Estes valores se referem exclusivamente às renúncias realizadas no âmbito do Fundo de Desenvolvimento Industrial - FDI, porém, não foram evidenciadas outras desistências praticadas. Assim, o objetivo deste ensaio é avaliar a política de gastos tributários no âmbito do Estado do Ceará. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se num levantamento exploratório por meio de pesquisas acerca da legislação aplicável e nos sistemas corporativos do Governo cearense, objetivando coletar informações atinentes à composição e à operacionalização dos dispêndios tributários concedidos e praticados pelo Governo estadual. As técnicas de análise de dados utilizadas para a conduta metodológica foram a análise descritiva dos indicadores orçamentários e contábeis e o exame documental dos instrumentos de planejamento e de legislação correlata, bem como dos demonstrativos contábeis. Os resultados expressam a necessidade de se definir um sistema de referência tributária sobre as renúncias de receitas, de se efetivar o controle dos gastos tributários de caráter geral e não geral, de melhorar os procedimentos sobre previsão, mensuração, controle, efetividade e e transparência das renúncias de receitas. Por fim, o Governo deverá planejar, gerir e controlar estes recursos, porquanto ostentam materialidade e grande relevância, especialmente se confrontados com os dedicados a  educação, saúde e segurança.

Weighted sharing of three sets with least cardinalities
Authors: Banerjee Abhijit , Banerjee Jhilik
Published: November 2024

We derive some sufficient conditions in terms of three weighted shared sets
to make two meromorphic functions identical. Actually to serve our purpose,
we try to maintain the cardinalities of the main range sets as small as
possible. Consequently, by exhibiting some new analysis in the proof, we
obtain three results which extend and improve a number of earlier results.
Finally, we pose two relevant open questions for future research.
Imaging Human Pancreatic Endocrinogenesis During Early Prenatal Life
Authors: Villalba Adrian , Gitton Yorick , Aiello Virginie , Toupin Maryne , Mazaud-Guittot Séverine , Chédotal Alain , Scharfmann Raphaël
Published: November 2024

Murine pancreatic endocrinogenesis has been extensively studied, but human data remain scarce due to limited sample availability. Here, we first built a large collection of human embryonic and fetal pancreases covering the first trimester of pregnancy to explore human endocrinogenesis. Using an experimental pipeline combining in toto staining, tissue clearing, and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, we show that insulin-, glucagon-, and somatostatin-positive cells appear simultaneously at Carnegie stage (CS) 16. This contrasts with rodents, in which glucagon-positive cells appear first, followed by insulin-positive and, finally, somatostatin-positive cells and highlights interspecies differences. We also detected bihormonal endocrine cells in 7 of 9 human pancreases between CS16 and CS18, which were no longer detected at later stages. We observed that cell distribution within human fetal islets resembles adult mouse islets, with a core of β-cells surrounded by α- and δ-cells, differing from a more complex arrangement in adult human islets. This, in connection with the small size of human fetal islets when compared with adult islets, suggests that adult human islets may form by fusion of preexisting islets, in contrast to the mouse fission model. Together, our study provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the spatiotemporal dynamics of human pancreatic endocrinogenesis.

Article Highlights

Data on human pancreas development are limited and derived from two-dimensional staining. We overcome this using in toto staining, tissue clearing, and light-sheet imaging. We sought to understand when and where endocrine cells first emerge and how they cluster. First, endocrine cell types appear simultaneously, and early pancreases contain bihormonal cells. There are morphometric differences between fetal and adult islets. We propose a mechanism of adult islet formation by fusion: a new base to reconstitute in vitro islet neogenesis.

Treatment of Slaughter Sub products: High Health Risk Classification
Authors: AC* Ferrazza , JU Maluf , E Talamini
Published: November 2024

Brazil is one of the largest producers and exporters of food in the world, but faces significant challenges in agricultural
production, especially in relation to dependence on imported fertilizers. By-products of animal slaughter, condemned by the
Health Inspection System (SIF) during the slaughter process, are classified as Animal By-products (ABPs) with a high health
risk (Cat1). Cat1 ABPs cannot be used for human food or animal feed, even after being treated by rendering. This biomass is rich
in nutrients but presents an imminent risk of pathogenicity. Heat treatments at high temperatures (>2500 C), in the absence
of oxygen, are more efficient at controlling pathogens. This study aims to discuss the opportunity to recover nutrients from
ABPs Cat1 from the Brazilian meat production chain as potential biomass for the production of biofertilizers. Pyrolysis shows
signs of denaturing pathogens, as it converts the biomass in a controlled environment above 5000 C. The results indicate that
every year Brazil misses out on the opportunity to recover tons of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) from the biomass of Cat1
ABPs in landfills. This is in addition to the health risk and environmental impact associated with the main source gas of organic
biomass decomposition, methane (CH4), which is 80 times more polluting than carbon dioxide (CO2). Waste management is
the main challenge to achieving nutrient recovery in the Brazilian meat chain.

Authors: Panda Sumanta , Mondal Subhasis , Ali Osman , Challam Dawan Arkini
Published: November 2024

The experiment was carried out during the rabi (winter) season ( 2nd week of November to last week of Feburary) of 2019 and 2020 at the District Seed Farm, ‘AB’ block, Kalyani at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal  to study the effect of paclobutrazol on the biochemical and yield attributes of chickpeas with yield.  The experiment was laid down in a randomized block design having six treatments of a formulation of paclobutrazol 40% (0, 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65 ml ha-1) with each replicated four times and  the experimental material for the study consisted of chickpea variety was JAKI 92-18. Results revealed that Paclobutrazol caused to decline in the leaf chlorophyll content and enhanced the accumulation of storage carbohydrates particularly starch in the leaf. Leaf soluble sugar content was lowest in the control (2.86) and all the treatments were significantly higher than the control in this respect. It caused to enhance the seed yield by enhancing the number of seeds plants-1 and improving the harvest index. The highest yield was obtained in paclobutrazol 35 ml ha-1 (2008 kg ha-1); other treatments with substantially higher yields than control were paclobutrazol 45 ml ha-1 (1783 kg ha-1), and paclobutrazol 25 ml ha-1 (1692 kg ha-1). Hence, foliar application of Paclobutrazol @ 35 ml l-1 may be most effective in augmenting the yield attributes and yield of chickpea during rabi season.

Objective. This review examines the association between dietary protein intake and the risk of bone disease, kidney disease, and sarcopenia, aiming to inform future Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) updates, including the development of a Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) reference value for protein.

Data sources. We searched MEDLINE®, Embase®, AGRICOLA, and Scopus from January 2000 to May 2024, and supplemented by citation searching of relevant reviews and original research.

Review methods. Following the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Methods Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews and registering the protocol on PROSPERO (CRD42023446621), we included randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, and nested case-control studies that enrolled healthy participants and examined dietary protein intake without exercise. We assessed the risk of bias, performed a qualitative synthesis of studies rated as low to moderate risk of bias, and evaluated the strength of evidence.

Results. Of 11,015 studies, 82 articles detailing 81 unique studies met our inclusion criteria. Thirteen of these, rated as low to moderate risk of bias, were included in our synthesis. This included set comprised studies on bone disease (4 randomized controlled trials [RCTs] and 1 prospective cohort study), kidney disease (1 RCT), and sarcopenia (9 RCTs). The overall evidence was deemed insufficient to address the Key Questions, primarily due to a limited number of studies rated as low to moderate risk, the diversity of dietary protein interventions, and the wide range of outcomes, which made synthesizing results and comparing studies challenging. Additionally, studies used intermediate markers or sarcopenia diagnostic components rather than direct outcomes to assess disease risk. Notably, we found very scant literature addressing children and adolescents. Our analysis was informed by only one study each of the impact of dietary protein intake on bone disease risk (mixed findings) in children and adolescents, and the impact of dietary protein on kidney disease risk (no significant effects) in adults. The findings related to adult bone disease were inconsistent, with some studies indicating no effect and others suggesting benefits on bone health metrics. Studies on sarcopenia risk also reported inconsistent results concerning muscle mass, physical performance, and muscle strength.

Conclusions. The evidence gathered since 2000 on associations between dietary protein intake and the risks of bone disease, kidney disease, and sarcopenia is unclear, indicating a need for more rigorous research in these areas.

Technology is now needed most in everyday society. Many things have changed to become modern and sophisticated because of the role of technology. It helps with cooking food or drinks at home. The stove is one of the most critical components in the kitchen. A furnace can help cook food or beverages. The use of gas stoves is cost-intensive. Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is a stove fuel often used by people for cooking. As cooking demands increase, gas consumption increases, causing gas expenses to become more and more costly. We make an intelligent or innovative stove with advantages. This smart stove is medium and portable so that it can be taken anywhere; besides that, this tool uses a supercapacitor to store the electric voltage generated in the heat of biomass combustion; this tool can generate electricity from biomass and solar cells. The selection of biomass types using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, namely wood or waste. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an information medium for the innovative stove process. In addition to cooking, this tool can turn on 1 LED lamp measuring 5-10 watts as a cellphone charger with as much as 5 volts or 60 minutes of charge time. The advantages of this intelligent stove are that it is beneficial to the community to reduce gas prices.

Factors influencing intentional self-harm in Chungcheongbuk Province relative to the Seoul region in the Republic of Korea: a retrospective study
Authors: Lee Hyun-Ju
Published: November 2024

Objectives: This study investigated factors influencing intentional self-harm in Chungcheongbuk Province (hereinafter, Chungbuk) compared to Seoul in the Republic of Korea.Methods: Raw data from the Discharge In-depth Injury Survey conducted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency were utilized. From 2,329,149 cases recorded over 9 years (2013–2021), 911 were identified as intentional self-harm cases (248 from Chungbuk and 633 from Seoul). We analyzed the differences in and influencing factors of intentional self-harm in Chungbuk relative to Seoul using the independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and binomial logistic regression analysis.Results: Intentional self-harm was found to be 1.232 times more prevalent among females than males (p<0.05); 2.327 times more prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, ages 50 to 64, compared to those under 50 years old (p<0.01); 8.603 times more prevalent among those using hospitals with fewer than 500 beds compared to those with 500 beds or more (p<0.001); 2.412 times more prevalent among individuals using hospitals in different regions compared to those within the same region (p<0.01); 2.217 times more prevalent among those attempting intentional self-harm during daily activities compared to other specified activities (p<0.01); and 6.987 times more prevalent among those using pesticides or herbicides compared to other poisons (p<0.001) in Chungbuk relative to Seoul.Conclusion: In the Chungbuk region, intentional self-harm prevention programs should be implemented, specifically targeting women, particularly those aged 50 to 64. Additionally, due to the high incidence of intentional self-harm involving pesticides or herbicides in Chungbuk, these substances should be stringently monitored to restrict access.
Migraciones y trabajo en Argentina: entre la intermitencia y la larga duración
Authors: Magliano María José
Published: November 2024

En este artículo se reconstruyen trayectorias laborales de mujeres peruanas que residen en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina). Con una metodología cualitativa basada en entrevistas en profundidad y observación participante, se analizan las características transversales de esas trayectorias en el marco de una reflexión que considera el tiempo un factor analítico clave. Entre sus principales hallazgos destaca la doble dimensión de la temporalidad laboral que oscila entre la intermitencia y la larga duración. Por un lado, hay recorridos laborales de corto plazo, en general asociados al cuentapropismo; por otro, se tiene la permanencia en el tiempo en ciertos empleos y la nula movilidad fuera de ellos. Ambas dimensiones son parte de un combo arraigado de trabajos precarizados e informales.
Experimental investigation of thermal micro-environments and local thermal sensations in enclosed and semi-enclosed localized heating systems
Authors: Lu Runnan , Yu Guoqing , Feng Shuang , Ye Hai
Published: November 2024

Traditional building heating warms entire rooms, often leaving some dissatisfied with uneven warmth. Recently, the personalized heating system has addressed this by providing targeted warmth, enhancing comfort and satisfaction. The personalized heating system in this study is a new enclosed personalized heating system consisting of a semi-enclosed heating box and an insulated chair covered with a thick blanket. The study compares the heating effects of semi-enclosed and enclosed localized heating systems on the body and examined changes in subjects’ thermal sensations. Due to the lower heat loss of the enclosed personalized heating system compared to the semi-enclosed version, it created thermal micro-environments with higher ambient temperatures. The maximum air temperature increase within the enclosed system was twice that of the semi-enclosed system, with the heating film surface temperature rising by up to 6.87 ℃. Additionally, the temperature of the skin could increase by as much as 6.19 ℃, allowing individuals to maintain thermal neutrality even when the room temperature dropped as low as 8 ℃. A two-factor repeated measures analysis of variance revealed differences in temperature sensitivity across various body regions, with the thighs showing a notably higher response under high-power heating conditions. The corrective energy and power requirements of the enclosed personalized heating system also made it more energy-efficient than other personalized heating systems, with a minimum value reaching 6.07 W/K.
Preparation, characterization, and thermal decomposition catalytic activity of novel combustion rate catalysts
Authors: Yao Yajing , Hu Shuangqi
Published: November 2024

The study successfully synthesized a combustion catalyst consisting of copper atoms anchored onto a carbon black support. The 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7), cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine, and ammonium perchlorate energetic materials were studied and analyzed using high-temperature pyrolysis process and catalytic oxidation thermal decomposition kinetics analysis. The research results indicate that the addition of the catalyst CB@Cu significantly reduces the activation energy during the pyrolysis process of energetic materials, leading to an earlier decomposition temperature and a significant catalytic effect. After adding catalyst CB@Cu, the endothermic peaks of the three energetic materials shifted toward lower temperatures, but the magnitude of the movement was relatively small. The maximum thermal decomposition temperature has been reduced by 3–5°C compared to that before the addition of the catalyst. At lower temperatures, the catalyst has a better catalytic effect on the energetic materials. The catalyst indicates the formation of electron transfer and the presence of metal Cu ligands, increasing the number of active sites with energetic materials, making the heat release of energetic materials more concentrated and increasing the degree of thermal decomposition.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aims to build, with the opinion of experts, a weighting of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the Sustainable Development model that should prevail in Small and Medium Enterprises, SMEs, when prioritizing their sustainable objectives.
 
Theoretical Framework: The Triple Bottom Line, TBL, considers economic, environmental and social aspects equally in companies, and in the case of SMEs this research considers that the three aspects should have an equivalent value in any attempt at sustainability assessment.
 
Method: The Delphi method was applied to a semi-random sample of 9 experts in economic, environmental and social areas, who assigned importance weights to different sustainability indicators based on the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, GRI, for the economic, social and environmental dimensions.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal a positive inclination towards equity in the TBL dimensions, with approximate weightings relative to each other, 32% in the economic dimension, 36% in the environmental dimension, and 32% in the social dimension.
 
Research Implications: Expert perspectives are discussed from an interdisciplinary approach, providing insight into academic opinions regarding sustainability assessment.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to map the vegetation cover of a municipal solid waste landfill using high-resolution vegetation index images obtained with UAV, as a tool for geotechnical monitoring.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework describes the state of the art of vegetation indexes, starting from the first proposal of NVDI by Rouse et al. (1973), through to the NDWI by McFeeters (1996). Additionally, it  presents the method of representing radiometric variables, considering that these indexes operate based on the ratio between spectral bands, which are displayed within intervals ranging from -1 to +1.
 
Method: The study used a UAV equipped with MAPIR multispectral camera to capture images of the landfill. NDVI and NDWI indexes were applied to assess vegetation health and coverage. Field control points determined with GNSS-RTK, along with protogrametry software, ensured mapping accuracy, creating high-resolution orhomosaics for monitoring and determining vegetation indexes.
 
Results and Discussion: The results indicate variation in vegetation cover, revealing areas of exposed soil ang vegetation at different stages of vigor, from senescence to full growth. The NDVI and NDWI indexes highlighted regions with water stress and soil exposure, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method in environmental and geotechnical monitoring.
 
Conclusions: It is concluded that the use of UAVs and vegetation indexes  are effective for monitoring vegetation health and landfill stability, enanbling the identification of erosion areas and the need for vegetation cover restoration.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the environmental quality of an educational institution in order to draw up a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP).
 
Theoretical Framework: Studies on this subject have tended to investigate and diagnose the level of environmental sensitivity and perception through school environmental practices, with the intention of proposing intervention actions, but without using simplified environmental planning models.
 
Method: In this work, the Environmental Committee was created and the Environmental Diagnosis of a rural school in Uberaba-MG was carried out using the following tools: photodiagnosis, floristic survey, questionnaires and checklist. Based on the results, the SEMP was drawn up, using the 5W2H tool, Environmental Education actions were proposed for inclusion in the school's Pedagogical Political Project.
 
Results and Discussion: The environmental education carried out at the school could be characterized as occasional and isolated practices, often misunderstood by those who carry it out. As a result, a playful booklet was produced with the tools used and instructions on how to create an SEMP, which was distributed to all the schools in the municipal network.
 
Research Implications: The SEMP was the product of collective and conscious action by the school community, and was not their sole responsibility, either in terms of preparation, execution or maintenance.
 
Originality/Value: The method used to draw up the SEMP, when compared to other environmental management projects, proves to be an instrument for developing pro-environmental behavior, contributing to the sustainability of other school units.

Authors: Prioló María Andrea Bedoya , González Erika Ruíz , Argel Martha Muñoz , Fernández Marlen Simancas , Miranda Mayco Estebi Montes
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the level of education as a social determinant in the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Córdoba.
 
Theoretical Framework: The model of social determinants, social capital theory, and health vulnerability emphasize how educational level influences mental well-being. These approaches show that access to education reduces vulnerability and promotes self-care capacity in communities, especially in highly unequal contexts like Córdoba.
 
Method: A comparative cross-sectional study, with a sample of 395 people aged between 15 and 95 years.
 
Results and Discussion: Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found between levels of depression and anxiety and educational attainment, with participants with lower education levels at higher risk of depressive and anxious symptoms.
 
Research Implications: The results highlight the importance of educational level as a protective factor in mental health, suggesting that educational programs in Córdoba could reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depression. This preventive approach could enhance social and economic well-being by reducing mental health risks in vulnerable populations.
 
Originality/Value: The research explores the impact of education on mental health in Córdoba, providing valuable data for contextualized interventions. It also highlights the need to address structural factors in mental health promotion in regions with high illiteracy rates.
The Effect of Digital Social Influence on Attitudinal Change and Purchase Behavioral Intention of Consumers
Authors: Settou Hind , Aomari Amina
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of our research is to study the phenomenon of digital social influence through a set of determinants linked on the one hand to the characteristics of the influencer, such as credibility, congruence and parasocial interaction, and on the other hand to the content disseminated, which must combine originality, uniqueness, reliability and argumentative force.
 
Theorical framework : The article highlights the various theories used to study the crucial role of the social influencer in changing the attitudes and purchasing intentions of Moroccan consumers, such as the credibility model, the electronic word-of-mouth (E-WOM) model, the SOR model and the theory of reasoned action.
 
Method : The methodology adopted to explain this topical phenomenon is based on descriptive methods supported by documentary analysis techniques in order to draw out the various theoretical concepts to clarify and provide answers to the many questions raising the issue of the credibility, homophily and popularity of the source, as well as the nature of the arguments presented in its content and their role in the process of forming consumer attitudes and purchase intentions.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained show that the para-social interaction that exists between the influencer and the members of his or her community, social and physical attractiveness, homophily and credibility are basic criteria that, each in their own way, influence the subscriber's attitude and intention to buy. This work also confirms the idea that the perceived uniqueness and quality of publications appear to be crucial in strengthening the perceived trust between influencers and subscribers.
 
 Research Implications: This research will be of unprecedented managerial use, firstly by encouraging the regulation of the legal status of the digital influencer in Morocco, secondly by setting up specialised and in-depth university training in content production and social media management, and lastly by encouraging investment in scientific research in this rapidly expanding field, the direction of which is still emerging.
 
Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in its interdisciplinary nature, combining, on the one hand, the theories of persuasion from social psychology and, on the other, the theories of attitude and purchase intention from management sciences. The added value is the proposal of an appropriate conceptual model to respond to our problem linked to the role of the social digital influencer in the attitudinal change of his subscribers.
