Customs Tariff Classification and the Use of Assistive Technologies
Authors: Grainger Andrew
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to help inform discussions about customs tariff classification and the use of assistive technologies, especially those found online. It offers a broad background overview of classification practices and requirements by reference to the World Customs Organization’s (WCO) Harmonized System (HS), incurred challenges and costs, and the types of technologies deployed to assist users in their classification endeavours. Reviewed assistive technologies and solutions range from information tools that make it easier for users to find classification-relevant information (such as rulings and guidance notes) to Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches that aim to suggest the most appropriate codes – with varying levels of success. Suggestions with examples about how to evaluate assistive classification technologies are provided. It is argued that there is considerable potential for such technologies, however, this inevitably depends on how well they can understand HS-relevant characteristics, the quality of data that supports them, and how well they have been developed or trained. The prize includes better compliance outcomes and improved trade facilitation by reducing classification-related costs. However, it is essential that policy makers and users understand the opportunities and limits of assistive classification technologies.

Published: May 2024

Soil-borne viruses have crop production across the world, resulting in lower crop yields, poor crop performance, and rising production costs. Crop production has faced increased threats in recent years, including soil-borne disease epidemics, high chemical fungicide costs and the development of fungicide resistance, climate change, new disease outbreaks, and growing concern for both environmental and soil health. To address these infections, crop producers must implement integrated soil-borne disease control measures. In this work, two plant extracts (ginger and turmeric) were examined in vitro and in vivo for their ability to inhibit soil-borne pathogen mycelia development. Turmeric effectively suppressed the development of two pathogens when added to the two extracted extracts, with 74.59% inhibition against Fusarium sp and 73.49% inhibition against Rhizoctonia sp. Ginger extracts demonstrated a somewhat lower inhibitory activity against Rhizoctonia, with 73.58% inhibition at 50% concentration and 72.15% at 50% concentration. In vivo tests of turmeric extract against Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium sp. were carried out to further the research. The data showed that using turmeric extract resulted in a substantial reduction in illness severity and incidence in both infections.
Gilles Deleuze
Authors: Fernández Parmo Guido
Published: May 2024

El pensamiento del filósofo Gilles Deleuze se encuentra entre nosotros, su filosofía es un intento de pensar aquello que la tradición había dejado afuera por considerarlo impensable: la experiencia intransferible e irreductible de lo que significa vivir o, en términos filosóficos, la “Diferencia”.

Gilles Deleuze, una introducción a través de sus textos tiene como objetivo acercar la obra del filósofo a un público no necesariamente especialista en su obra, siguiendo dos ejes: la materia y el pensamiento. Cada capítulo explica un texto particular del filósofo. De esta forma, puede ser leído tanto como una guía de lectura de dicho texto o como un modo de comprender los trazos comunes que recorren toda su obra.

BACKGROUND
Identifying spatial variation in TB burden can help national TB programs effectively allocate resources to reach and treat all people with TB. However, data limitations pose challenges for subnational TB burden estimation.

METHODS
We
developed a small-area modeling approach using geo-positioned prevalence survey data, case notifications, and geospatial covariates to simultaneously estimate spatial variation in TB incidence and case notification completeness across districts in Uganda from 2016–2019. TB incidence
was estimated using 1) cluster-level data from the national 2014–2015 TB prevalence survey transformed to incidence, and 2) case notifications adjusted for geospatial covariates of health system access. The case notification completeness surface was fit jointly using observed case notifications
and estimated incidence.

RESULTS
Estimated pulmonary TB incidence among adults varied >10-fold across Ugandan districts in 2019. Case detection increased nationwide from 2016 to 2019, and the number of districts with case detection
rates >70% quadrupled. District-level estimates of TB incidence were five times more precise than a model using TB prevalence survey data alone.

CONCLUSION
A joint spatial modeling approach provides useful insights for TB program operation,
outlining areas where TB incidence estimates are highest and health programs should concentrate their efforts. This approach can be applied in many countries with high TB burden.

BACKGROUND
TB control requires the understanding and disruption of TB transmission. We describe prevalence, incidence and risk factors associated with childhood TB infection in Cape Town, South Africa.

METHODS
We
report cross-sectional baseline and prospective incidence data from a large trial among primary school children living in high TB burden communities. Prevalent infection was defined as QuantiFERON™-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) positivity as assessed at baseline. Subsequent conversion to QFT-Plus
positivity was measured 3 years later among those QFT-Plus-negative at baseline. Multivariable logistic regression models examined factors associated with TB infection.

RESULTS
QuantiFERON-positivity at baseline (prevalence: 22.6%, 95%
CI 20.9–24.4), was independently associated with increasing age (aOR 1.24 per additional year, 95% CI 1.15–1.34) and household exposure to TB during the participant’s lifetime (aOR 1.87, 95% CI 1.46–2.40). QFT-Plus conversion at year 3 (12.2%, 95% CI 10.5–14.0;
annual infection rate: 3.95%) was associated with household exposure to an index TB case (aOR 2.74, 95% CI 1.05–7.18).

CONCLUSION
Rates of QFT-diagnosed TB infection remain high in this population. The strong association with household
TB exposure reinforces the importance of contact tracing, preventative treatment and early treatment of infectious disease to reduce community transmission.

O uso de drones agrícolas associados à altura de voo, taxa de aplicação e deposição de gotas no dossel das plantas de soja, tem proporcionado resultados bastante interessantes em relação aos métodos tradicionais de pulverização. Assim, foi objetivo do trabalho avaliar a eficiência da deposição de gotas proporcionada por drone pulverizador em diferentes posições na planta, altura de voo e taxa de aplicação na cultura do milho (Zea mays). O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com esquema fatorial 3x3x4, com seis repetições, sendo três alturas de voo, três volumes de aplicação e quatro posições de papéis sensíveis à água (PHS). A área coberta foi maior em T7 (3,42%), já o valor mais baixo foi em T3 (0,87%). O Diâmetro da Mediana Volumétrica (DMV) foi maior quanto maior a taxa de aplicação. Altitudes mais elevadas de voo resultaram em maior deriva. Taxas de aplicação mais elevadas promovem maior DMV, minimizando a ação de fatores externos no véu de aplicação e, consequentemente minimizando a deriva.

The anatomy of the female genital tract consists of a series of internal cavitary organs that are interconnected with the external environment through the vaginal introitus, located in the center of the urogenital triangle. This structure is responsible for the flow resulting from the physiological menstrual cycle, in addition to allowing sexual intercourse and the passage of the fetus at the time of birth (Moore, 2011). Several pathological processes have this region as a site, both through the entry of pathogenic microorganisms and through the imbalance of the microbiota residing in the genital tract, both harming gynecological health and causing unpleasant symptoms to patients (Berek, 2008).

Published: May 2024

The study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body is an integral part of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and is therefore fundamental content for developing understanding about the structure and functioning of the body itself. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee quality access for all students to this knowledge. Students in general have difficulty understanding internal structures that are not visualized. In relation to the blind, this difficulty becomes even greater. Thus, the objective of this project was to develop 3D teaching models of the brain and its internal structures, the brain ventricles, in order to include visually impaired students in regular classrooms. The models were obtained in STL format and opened using free CAM software. In total, ten three-dimensional models were produced with texture (for blind individuals) and painting with strong, contrasting colors (for individuals with low vision). QR Codes were also created, using the Canva website, with links to two videos inserted on the YouTube platform containing explanatory audios about the structure and functioning of the brain and ventricles. Part of the models were incorporated into the collection of the UNESP Botucatu Anatomy Museum and part was delivered to the partner school for use in the resource room. After finalizing the material, a visit was scheduled, accompanied by a class presentation, by students from the partner school to the Anatomy Museum, to explore the elaborate models and the rest of the museum's tactile collection. Based on this visit, it became evident that the use of three-dimensional tactile models as learning facilitators promotes, in addition to the inclusion of visually impaired people in regular classrooms, more dynamic learning for other students as well, as it encourages use and combination senses other than sight, such as touch and hearing.

Published: May 2024

It is known that there is a significant number of students who have difficulties in solving mathematical problems. This can be explained by many factors, but what often happens is that the biggest challenge lies in reading and interpreting the proposed situation. Based on this, a mini course was designed and implemented which, combining the subjects of Mathematics and Portuguese Language, was dedicated to working with reading and understanding mathematical texts, mainly on issues involving logical reasoning, in order to develop reading and interpretation skills. text to help solve problems. Questions involving logical reasoning are not always part of the curriculum of mathematics or Portuguese language subjects, however, they are broad questions that enable debates and analyzes from different aspects, work with specific reading and interpretation skills and can also be related to the reality of the world. student. In mathematics, activities that present texts involve the relationship between two languages: words and mathematical symbols and, currently, it is common to find contextualized questions, with longer statements that require attention, concentration and the development of problem-solving skills. Therefore, the proposal that integrates the two areas assumed an important role in the training of high school students. The mini course was offered after students' regular classes, with 20 places available, in two meetings in which challenging questions, texts and discussions, riddles and, at the end, a questionnaire for evaluation were addressed. When working with the problem-solving methodology through texts and logical reasoning questions, it was noticed that the students developed some reading and interpretation skills, which facilitated the resolution of mathematical problems.

Authors: Torres Klícia da Silva
Published: May 2024

In Brazil, diffuse environmental, material and moral damage has aroused growing interest from both the legal community and civil society, due to its relevance for the protection of the environment and collective interests. Valuing these damages in court presents specific challenges due to the complexity and variety of their impacts. Environmental, material and diffuse moral damage are topics of great relevance in the Brazilian legal context, requiring a careful and judicious approach in their assessment through the courts. This study aims to analyze how the valuation of diffuse environmental, material and moral damage has been carried out by Brazilian courts, representing only an initial stage for more comprehensive and in-depth future research. The aim is to identify the methods and criteria used, the main difficulties faced and the jurisprudential trends in this context. The materials and methods used included the selection and analysis of representative cases of diffuse environmental, material and moral damage, obtained through research in jurisprudential databases and academic literature review. The relevant legislation was also used, such as the Public Civil Action Law (Law nº 7,347/1985) and the Brazilian Civil Code, as references. The results obtained reveal a variety of approaches in the valuation of these types of damages by Brazilian courts, from economic and quantitative criteria to qualitative and subjective considerations. This diversity reflects the complexities involved in measuring and repairing these damages, highlighting the need for a contextualized and multidisciplinary analysis. It is concluded that a flexible and equitable approach is essential in valuing diffuse environmental, material and moral damage, ensuring adequate repair of losses and the promotion of environmental and social justice in Brazil.

Published: May 2024

The teaching of human anatomy, fundamental for courses in the health sector, has historically been centered on memorization, which can demotivate students. The traditional teaching method, based on the transmission of complex information, faces difficulties due to technical language and the lack of student engagement. Given this scenario, innovative pedagogical methods, such as game-based learning (APJ), emerge as a promising alternative. Educational games offer a dynamic approach to making learning more engaging, in line with the search for playful methods that spark interest. This research explores the potential of educational games in teaching human anatomy, considering theoretical contributions from scholars such as Vygotsky and McGonigal. Previous studies highlight students' preference for using games as a means of learning and demonstrate the effectiveness of different game formats. Therefore, investigations into the impact of these innovative approaches in promoting more effective learning in anatomy are essential.

Published: May 2024

In Brazil's sociopolitical scenario, Christian discourses emerge that defend the cis-heteropatriarchal family model. This phenomenon gains strength in the face of resistance to the Human Rights agenda with an emphasis on gender issues, capturing the attention of religious neoconservative segments condemning the supposed insertion of gender ideology in education. This situation directly influences the curricular policies of Basic Education, notably in the controversies and prohibitions related to the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), which directs the formulation of Pedagogical Political Projects (PPP) of educational institutions, with legal guidance providing for active co-participation faculty in this process. Considering the female predominance in teaching, we seek to understand how evangelical teachers manage and integrate religious knowledge and beliefs in the development of the curriculum. Through a qualitative approach, which includes interviews and focus groups, the management of teachers' curricular knowledge is investigated. The analysis of the collected data uses the Content Analysis technique. The purpose is to unveil the dialogues between religion and education, with the aim of promoting inclusive, secular, democratic pedagogical practices and valuing cultural and religious plurality.
