Role of additional bands in Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) on board EOS-06 in Arabian sea near Gujarat coast
Authors: Gupta Anurag , Ganguly Debojyoti , Babu K. N. , Raman Mini , Thapliyal Pradeep Kumar , Sharma Rashmi
Published: November 2024

Following the legacy of OCM series, OCM-3 onboard EOS-06 was launched on November 26, 2022 to cater the global needs with better accuracy. It is having 13 bands in VNIR (400–1010 nm range) with ~ 1500 km swath for monitoring the ocean. Basically it operates in two modes, one is Local Area Coverage (LAC) mode, i.e. 360m resolution and second one is Global Area Coverage (GAC) for global ocean in low resolution mode (1.1 km) at regular cycles. Remote sensing reflectance derived from space using standard atmospheric correction, works very well in open ocean while the same approach fails in the optically complex waters, so to overcome this problem, 870 nm was paired with 1010 nm of OCM-3 instead of 780–870 nm to recover the coastal radiometry basically at blue channels. They suffer a lot because of overestimation of atmospheric characterization at NIR channels and then extrapolated to blue channel during radiative transfer modeling. In addition, absorbing aerosols and coloured dissolved organic matter are equally responsible in coastal region as well. The role of additional bands of ocean colour monitor (OCM-3) was discussed in this manuscript.
MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT MODEL OF VILLAGE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN ISLAMIC ECONOMIC STUDIES
Authors: Adlan Muhamad Aqim
Published: November 2024

Abstrak: Kajian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan model ideal pengelolaan dan pengembangan Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) berbasis ekonomi Islam. Hal ini didasarkan adanya amanat Undang-Undang untuk membangun perekonomian desa melalui institusi BUMDes, namun selama ini eksistensi BUMDes belum berjalan sesuai dengan harapan dan hanya terkesan sebagai lembaga politik ekonomi di tingkat pemerintah desa. Padahal, pemerintah dan masyakat desa memiliki beban berat untuk menjalankan BUMDes di tengah masyarakat desa dalam rangka memberikan pengembangan di sektor perekonomian. Dalam ekonomi Islam, pengelolaan dan pengembangan BUMDes memiliki esensi pada terealisasinya nilai kesejahteraan, keadilan, dan pemerataan. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif melalui studi lapangan dari data observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi dengan metode deskriptif dan content analysis sebagai metode paparan dan analisis data. Temuan dalam kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan dan pengembangan BUMDes di lapangan masih mengedepankan pola pengelolaan berbasis lokalitas, metode pengembangan konvensional dan terlihat belum maksimalnya sinergisitas para stakeholder di tingkat desa. Sementara ekonomi Islam melalui esensi tujuan syariat (maqashid syari’ah) dapat dijadikan landasan dalam pengelolaan dan pengembangan BUMDes.
Kata kunci: Ekonomi Islam, BUMDes, Maqashid Syari’ah.
 
Abstract: This study aims to formulate an ideal model of management and development of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) based on Islamic economics. This is based on the mandate of the Law to develop the village economy through the BUMDes institution, but so far the existence of BUMDes has not run as expected and only seems to be a political economic institution at the village government level. In fact, the government and village community have a heavy burden to run BUMDes in the middle of the village community in order to provide development in the economic sector. In Islamic economics, the management and development of BUMDes has the essence of realising the values of welfare, justice and equity. This study is a qualitative study through field studies from observation, interview, and documentation data with descriptive methods and content analysis as methods of data exposure and analysis. The findings in this study show that the management and development of BUMDes in the field still prioritise locality-based management patterns, conventional development methods and there is no maximum synergy of stakeholders at the village level. Meanwhile, Islamic economics through the essence of sharia objectives (maqashid shari'ah) can be used as a foundation in the management and development of BUMDes.
Keywords: Islamic Economics, BUMDes, Maqashid Shari’ah.

Rural Education Access and Quality
Authors: Kipp Andrew L.
Published: November 2024

There are encouraging trends in rural schools when compared to nonrural schools. For example, rural schools outperform urban schools in graduation rates. They outperform nonrural schools in the NAEP 4th and 8th grade math and reading achievement test scores. However, other trends are less encouraging, such as higher poverty rates in rural schools compared to suburban schools, fewer students attending college the first October after high school graduation, fewer course offerings and interactions with colleges, larger learning losses during the summer months compared to nonrural schools as a result of fewer summer learning opportunities, higher rates of mental health crises compared to their urban counterparts, and fewer opportunities to access technology when compared to nonrural schools. There are disparities with students of color compared to White students in rural regions as students of color experience higher rates of poverty, lower educational attainment, and lower student achievement compared to rural White students. Finally, the South and West regions in the U.S. tend to have higher rates of rural poverty compared to the other U.S. regions, which compromises educational attainment and student achievement. Rural barriers, such as isolation, high rates of poverty, and fewer funds to recruit/ retain quality teachers and address the school's deficits, create difficulties to reverse the problematic trends in student achievement and attainment. The interventions and community models aim to overcome these barriers to ensure that our rural students have better educational access and quality. In turn, these improvements may result in a healthier rural community.

Published: November 2024

While modest gains have been made, challenges associated with preventing Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or managing it well persist. Key to the prevention of diabetes, as well as appropriate management of diabetes, is an active lifestyle, access to primary health care, community-based approaches for prevention of diabetes, and assistance with appropriate management of diabetes for those people with T2DM in rural areas. However, a person's demographic status, such as rurality, age, sex, and income play a role. Access to health care, including appropriate monitoring supplies, insulin, and nutrition education, as well as access to healthy food resources must be addressed and prioritized by state and national policy makers for diabetes care in rural areas.

Authors: Alexis Niyomushobozi , Nduta Kiarie Martha
Published: November 2024

The study sought to establish the influence of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs on students learning outcomes in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Ruhango District, Rwanda. The study aimed to determine the influence of CPD programs on course completion rates, acquisition of practical skills and competencies and students participation/engagement among TVET students. Using cross-sectional research design with mixed methods, data were collected from a sample of 427 respondents, including instructors, headteachers, and Sector Education Inspectors (SEIs). Simple random sampling was used for schools and instructors, while headteachers and SEIs were selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency percentages and correlation analysis, while qualitative data were processed through thematic analysis.The findings revealed that CPD programs significantly enhance student learning outcomes in TVET institutions. A majority of respondents (80%) participated in CPD initiatives, with 65% reporting that CPD had a strong influence on improving course completion rates, and 85% highlighting its positive impact on the acquisition of practical skills and competencies. Additionally, 60% of respondents recognized a substantial influence of CPD on student engagement. Correlation analysis confirmed strong positive relationships between CPD and course completion (r = 0.72), practical skills acquisition (r = 0.85), and student engagement (r = 0.72). The study concluded that CPD programs play a critical role in improving educational outcomes in TVET institutions. Recommendations include tailoring CPD programs to specific technical fields, enhancing hands-on workshops, providing more frequent CPD opportunities, and implementing structured monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Future research should explore the influence of CPD on specific technical skills and examine its long-term impact on both instructors and students.

Authors:   University of Sannio, Italy., Ahmad Zubair
Published: November 2024

The aim of this research article includes the critical scrutiny of the existing solid waste management system in developing countries to determine the potential impacts of challenges on the functionality of the system of solid waste management. The paper pinpoints corruption, departmental dishonesty, mismanagement, lawlessness and lack of reasonable policies as the major challenges that are required to be discussed and addressed for the protection of the environment and public health. With this aim, this research article conducts a qualitative study in the form of interviews with closed-end questions and filled from 175 solid waste management organizations officials to highlight the challenges that are being faced by developing countries concerning the solid waste management system. Currently, the management of solid waste is not an easy task to perform, therefore, the situation of the system of solid waste management is quite dire in developing countries in comparison to developed countries. Hence, there is a need for the acknowledgment of the impact of unreasonable solid waste management systems and there is a need to change it for sustainability of the public health and environment. The betterment of the system of solid waste requires endeavours in increasing the funds, awareness in the public, recognition of new innovative technology, and development of an infrastructure. For the progress of the countries, there is a need to accept a new system for solid waste management. Along with this, there is a need to recognize the problem in the existing system.

Authors: Sharma Diksha , Khairwa Abhishek , Bhat Manohar , Borah Bidisha , Roymedhi Bhargab
Published: November 2024

Aim and Background:A relationship between oral and systemic health is nothing new to us. Most of the general population assumes that systemic health only affects the organs of the body and they are unaware about the ill effects of some medical conditions on oral cavity. The aim of the study is to explore the parents/ guardians perception regarding the Oro-systemic link in their children. Methods: This study was conducted among 50 parents/guardians who came along with the children in the Department of Pediatric and Preventive dentistry. All the participants were provided with the study questionnaire which was required to be filled independently. The purpose of the study questionnaire is to gather demographic information before posing targeted questions that gauge participants awareness and understanding of the connection between oral and systemic health. Results: In this study,16% of the participants believed that oral health status has any effect on the rest of the body.A positive response was observed on the effect of vitamin and mineral deficiency on childs teeth and gum health (60% yes) and 66% participants felt that overall growth and development of the body is related to the development of dentition.Regarding the effect of medication given to the pregnant woman on childs teeth, stress, obesity, infant feeding pattern, less than 20% positive response were recorded. Conclusion: We as Pedodontists should educate general public/parents/guardians about Oro-systemic connection because with this we can ensure that the children will adopt healthy lifestyle from childhood. Clinical Significance: Imparting knowledge regarding Oro-systemic links to patients and their guardian will lead the child to adopt a healthy lifestyle from beginning.

Algospeak has become avaluable part of how the internet functions today. Millions of individuals see algospeak every day while they are browsing various social media apps and websites. The popularity of algospeak may even have a measurable impact on day-to-day modern language. Communicating online is becoming increasingly widespread, and people are using algospeak terms in more thantheir social media posts. Individuals may question how this language is being understood by the wider public. If algospeak ismisinterpreted , content creators and other users may fail to comprehendthe intended message. This research aims to determine how well people understand algospeak, which algospeak terms are most widely understood, and which age groups understand algospeak the best. Results have indicated that the younger age groups understand algospeak the best, but it is generally not very well understood. The researchers conclude with insight into the evident trends. Recommendations for future research are also proposed.
COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT DOSES OF ORAL GABAPENTIN FOR POST OPERATIVE ANALGESIA IN LOWER LIMB SURGERY UNDER SPINAL ANAESTHESIA
Authors: Pareek Mitalee , Joshi Pradnya , Bhale Pramod , Kulkarni Sanhita
Published: November 2024

Background: Pre-emptive analgesia is a technique of pain control where treatment is initiated before intervention and operational during the surgical procedure in order to reduce the physiological consequences of nociceptive transmission provoked by the procedure. Gabapentin has demonstrated analgesic effects in clinical trials as a preemptive analgesic in acute postoperative pain management with very few side effects. Owing to the protective effect of gabapentin on the nociceptive pathways, preemptive analgesia has the potential to be more effective and hence reduce postoperative pain and development of chronic pain. Objective: We therefore designed this study to compare two different doses of Oral Gabapentin (300mg and 600mg) given as pre-emptive analgesic for post-operative pain relief in lower limb surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Method: After the approval from ethical committee this prospective randomized double blinded clinical study was conducted over a period of two years in department of anaesthesia in M.G.M.s medical college, Aurangabad. Randomly allocated two groups were given Oral Gabapentin 300mg and 600mg respectively, one hour prior to giving spinal anaesthesia for post operative analgesia in lower limb surgeries. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference between group G300 (gabapentin 300mg) and group G600 (gabapentin 600mg) regarding age, gender, duration of analgesia (i.e. demand for first rescue analgesic), total dose of analgesics in first twenty four hours after surgery, duration of sensory block (i.e. L1 regression), highest ramsay sedation score and VAS scores. No significant difference was seen in cases hemodynamic stability and incidence of side effects.

Published: November 2024

This article seeks to investigate how safety and security affect consumers’ tendency to use electronic wallets in Hanoi. The study was conducted based on data using Google Forms, with a total of 237 valid responses. For data analysis, this research employs quantitative techniques using SPSS 22 and AMOS 25 software. The results demonstrate that safety and security positively impact four factors in the following order: financial benefits (β = 0.853; p = 0.000), brand image (β = 0.830; p = 0.000), technology function (β = 0.708; p = 0.000), social influence (β = 0.589; p = 0.000). Particularly risk perception (β = –0.192; p = 0.013) is a factor that is inversely affected, whereby greater safety and security result in reduced perceived risk. The results also show that only social influence (β = 0.408; p = 0.000) and brand image (β = 0.172; p = 0.000) influence the willingness to adopt e-wallets. Therefore, the safety and security only indirectly influence the tendency to use e-wallets through two variables: social influence and brand image. The study provides recommendations for e-wallet service providers, identifies limitations, and suggests future research directions.
Mercados imersos como promoção de desenvolvimento territorial: o caso do território quilombola Ribeirão Grande/Terra Seca
Authors: Viana Camila Eduarda , Da Cruz Fabiana Thomé , Denardin Valdir Frigo
Published: November 2024

Nas últimas décadas emergiram diversas pesquisas voltadas a promover a singularidade e valorização de produtos e serviços de territórios rurais a partir da construção social de mercados, entre as quais destaca-se a abordagem dos “nested markets” ou mercados imersos. Tendo em vista esses estudos, o objetivo desta pesquisa volta-se a identificar os mercados imersos acessados por mulheres quilombolas da Comunidade Ribeirão Grande/Terra Seca (RGTS), no Vale do Ribeira (SP) e analisar em que medida esses mercados contribuem para a promoção do desenvolvimento desse território quilombola. Para cumprir os objetivos desta pesquisa, lançamos mão de instrumento de pesquisa que conjugou métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, formado por entrevista semiestruturada e instrumento de diagnóstico de mercados imersos, voltado a analisar os mercados acessados pelos grupos de comercialização de alimentos Perobas, Raiz e Rochas, presentes na Comunidade RGTS. Os resultados evidenciaram que as dificuldades em acessar mercados de proximidade, institucionais e convencionais, em especial após a pandemia da Covid-19, levaram os grupos estudados a acessar novos canais de comercialização, encontrando nos Grupos de Consumo Responsável (GCRs) um importante espaço de vendas. Os GCRs apresentaram características de mercados imersos e por meio da aquisição de produtos tradicionais quilombolas promovem não apenas a valorização e reprodução da cultura e história do Quilombo RGTS como também o aumento da renda das famílias. Além disso, contribuem para maior autonomia e protagonismo feminino, sustentabilidade ambiental e fortalecimento da governança da agricultura familiar. Desse modo, os resultados apontados na pesquisa indicam que o acesso aos mercados imersos protagonizados por mulheres quilombolas da Comunidade RGTS contribuem para a promoção do desenvolvimento territorial.

Published: November 2024

A Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais (CBST) se constitui como referencial teórico/metodológico convergente com a abordagem territorial do desenvolvimento. Assim, a CBST estuda a oferta articulada de produtos e serviços que valorizem recursos específicos de territórios rurais, a partir de um sistema de governança formado por atores públicos, privados e associativos. Entre as atividades com potencial de compor uma CBST, está o turismo rural, que pode ser compreendido como uma estratégia relevante para o desenvolvimento territorial, ao impulsionar diversos setores da cadeia produtiva local e estimular uma cesta variada de produtos e serviços. Considerando estes apontamentos, a presente pesquisa tem, como objetivo, analisar como produtos e serviços, vinculados ao turismo rural, podem compor uma Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais no município de Porto Vera Cruz/RS. A metodologia da pesquisa é qualitativa. Como procedimentos de coleta de dados, optou-se pela pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados mostram que o turismo rural possui importante potencial no desenvolvimento territorial do município estudado, de forma destacada pelos investimentos do poder público no setor turístico e pela presença de belos cenários naturais, como o Salto do Roncador, onde foi constatada a associação do turismo rural com uma variedade de serviços, como trilhas ecológicas e passeios de barco. Entretanto, não há vinculação do turismo rural com produtos de qualidade, como os provenientes de agroindústrias familiares. Neste sentido, a implantação de um sistema de governança territorial é fator essencial para que novos produtos e serviços sejam valorizados e incluídos na construção da Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais em Porto Vera Cruz/RS.
Desenvolvimento territorial em perspectiva: governança territorial e Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais (CBST) na literatura brasileira

Published: November 2024

Este artigo aborda o referencial teórico-metodológico da Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais (CBST) como base analítica de estratégias para o desenvolvimento territorial sustentável, baseadas na sinergia de iniciativas diversas sob a coordenação de uma governança territorial composta por atores públicos, privados e associativos. O estudo tem como propósito analisar a literatura brasileira recente sobre o tema com o intuito de compreender como as configurações de governança territorial podem contribuir ou dificultar o alcance de objetivos na perspectiva da CBST. Para isso, uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi conduzida utilizando o Google Acadêmico como fonte de dados, com análise dos resultados realizada mediante a técnica de análise de conteúdo categorial. Os principais resultados do estudo destacam a importância que a literatura atribui à governança territorial como instância organizativa e institucional mediante a qual atores locais podem agir coletivamente e fortalecer suas estratégias em nome do desenvolvimento territorial. Também identifica, no entanto, sérias dificuldades nos mecanismos de inclusão e participação sociopolítica mais amplas e democráticas, que fragilizam a legitimidade de iniciativas contestatórias e inovadoras em relação ao aparato sociopolítico e institucional vigente.
Renda de qualidade territorial: da teoria francesa aos estudos brasileiros
Authors: Ramos Ivoneti da Silva , Turnes Valério Alécio , Cazella Ademir Antônio , Pecqueur Bernard
Published: November 2024

Ao estudar regiões agrícolas francesas em crise no final do século 20, pesquisadores observaram que algumas áreas rurais ativaram recursos territoriais específicos, resultando em bens e serviços diferenciados que deram origem ao enfoque teórico-metodológico da Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais (CBST). Estimulada pela organização coletiva de atores locais, esta iniciativa revelou-se uma alternativa promissora de desenvolvimento. Além disso, esses bens e serviços específicos promoviam um rendimento diferenciado, fenômeno que originou a teoria da Renda de Qualidade Territorial (RQT). Abriu-se, então, a agenda para pesquisas sobre a CBST em diversos países, entre eles o Brasil. O mesmo não ocorreu com o tema da RQT. Embora conceitualmente mencionada em diversos artigos, a aplicação do conceito ainda carece de aprofundamento. Nesse contexto, este artigo objetiva dar visibilidade ao tema da RQT a partir da experiência francesa e analisar as possibilidades de geração desse tipo de renda em territórios rurais brasileiros. O procedimento metodológico aplicado foi revisão bibliográfica sobre a teoria da RQT e de estudos de caso sobre o enfoque da CBST realizados em territórios rurais brasileiros. Em todos os estudos de caso analisados há valorização de bens e serviços territoriais, o que suscita a possibilidade de investigação da geração de RQT, abrindo uma agenda futura de pesquisa em contextos brasileiros.

Published: November 2024

O ano de 2024 marca a retomada das Políticas de Desenvolvimento Regional. No início do referido ano, a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional (PNDR) e a Política Nacional de Ordenamento do Territorial (PNOT) foram reativadas pelo governo federal (2023/2026). Em virtude da relevância dessa ação, este artigo objetiva analisar a PNDR e a PNOT, buscando estudar suas trajetórias, objetivos, avanços, similaridades e diferenças. O artigo caracteriza-se por ser analítico-descritivo, de natureza qualitativa. Para responder aos questionamentos levantados foi realizada análise documental dos decretos que instituíram as políticas e revisão de literatura de artigos, teses e dissertações que trabalharam com esta temática, além de entrevista aberta com o diretor do Departamento de Políticas de Desenvolvimento Regional e Ordenamento Territorial. Para a análise dos dados, foram consideradas algumas categorias analíticas que embasaram a discussão, a saber: território, redução das desigualdades, desenvolvimento sustentável, desenvolvimento regional, avanços e retrocessos de políticas públicas. Observou-se que as políticas visam a promover um desenvolvimento mais equilibrado e sustentável, buscando considerar as particularidades de cada região do país. Há, no entanto, dificuldade de avançar para um planejamento mais amplo e coeso de todo o território em suas várias escalas, identificando lacunas de planejamento e limitações dos instrumentos existentes. Concluiu-se que, embora tenham ocorrido avanços nessa área nos últimos anos, ainda existem desafios significativos que precisam ser superados. Olhar criticamente para a PNDR e a PNOT é essencial para identificar suas limitações e buscar maneiras de melhorá-las.
O território para além da construção social: síntese sujeito-cosmo e envolvimento a favor da vida
Authors: Saquet Marcos Aurelio
Published: November 2024

É interessante e intrigante como o conceito e categoria território está cada vez mais difuso entre diferentes áreas do conhecimento e em determinadas situações espaciais e temporais, em discursos políticos e estratégias de gestão. Uso, ordenamento, gestão e desenvolvimento do território estão em destaque, porém, normalmente, são utilizados de maneira superficial, confusa e inadequada tendo em vista a complexidade e indivisibilidade das relações sociedade-natureza-cosmo e tempo-espaço. Então, nesta oportunidade, decidimos discorrer e refletir sobre o território para além da sua compreensão como construção social, evidenciando duas questões que consideramos de alta relevância social e científica, ou seja, a sua amplitude e indivisibilidade no nível da relação sujeito-cosmo (transmultiescalar e transtemporal) e a sua íntima relação com a nossa vida cotidiana (em sua pluridimensionalidade), assumindo, por isso, um significado que consideramos bastante renovado, no nível do que estamos denominando de envolvimento territorial. Este é compreendido tendo como base a relação sociedade-natureza-cosmo a partir da universidade, isto é, da pesquisa, da formação e da extensão: assim podemos ultrapassar o nível da abordagem territorial, implicando-nos em cada território estudado. Nosso objetivo é refletir sobre a centralidade da universidade na sua relação com a sociedade civil organizada, destacando a necessária integração entre ciência – saberes populares e originários, em cada processo de envolvimento territorial e sustentável para todos os seres deste planeta na sua unidade com o cosmo. Outro destaque, na perspectiva teórico-prática que vamos argumentar, é para a pesquisa-ação-participativa intimamente relacionada ao método das coexistências, consoante detalharemos no decorrer do texto, tentando instigar o debate sobre a construção horizontal, dialógica e participativa de uma ciência própria, cada vez mais nossa, muito mais voltada para a resolução de problemas que são comuns em nossa vida cotidiana.
As abordagens do desenvolvimento territorial: origem e perspectivas recentes
Authors: Pecqueur Bernard
Published: November 2024

Este artigo pretende mostrar, primeiramente, como se constituiu a ciência regional e como a questão territorial surgiu na literatura internacional, para, depois, discutir as dinâmicas territoriais que operam em torno da noção de recurso territorial. Esta noção está no centro da procura de soluções para os desafios contemporâneos (crises climáticas, sanitárias, alimentares e geopolíticas). As soluções para estes desafios passam por uma renovação da noção de território e pela evolução da questão-chave da resiliência do sistema produtivo global, que passa pela hibridização da geografia social e da economia.
O giro territorial e os usos fortes e fracos da associação entre território e políticas públicas
Authors: Favareto Arilson da Silva
Published: November 2024

Uma das principais inovações no panorama das políticas públicas no Brasil e na América Latina na virada para o século 21 foi a introdução da abordagem territorial no repertório da burocracia governamental. Esse giro ou virada territorial nem sempre veio acompanhado de uma reflexão sobre a natureza dos processos territoriais que deveriam ser levados em conta pelos investimentos e incentivos praticados pelo Estado. Não seria mesmo exagero afirmar que houve, simultaneamente à sua disseminação, certa banalização no uso da abordagem territorial. Muitas vezes os territórios são tomados, passivamente, apenas como lugar de incidência das políticas, como um espaço plano no qual depositam-se recursos e se aplicam ações públicas ou privadas. O objetivo deste artigo é oferecer uma leitura crítica sobre os significados da associação entre território e políticas públicas e mostrar de que maneiras ela vem sendo experimentada. Para isso, a primeira seção do artigo é voltada a demonstrar que território é uma categoria síntese que tem como um de seus principais trunfos permitir abordar como ali concretizam-se diferentes dimensões e processos multiescalares. A segunda seção é dedicada a evidenciar como as teorias sobre desenvolvimento resgatam essa categoria síntese para sugerir a necessidade de políticas territoriais. Na última seção há um esboço de tipologia de como essa tradução pelo campo das políticas públicas vem sendo experimentada, com usos fortes e fracos do adjetivo territorial.
Desenvolvimento territorial, leituras, conceitos e múltiplos olhares!
Authors: Anes Carlos Eduardo Ruschel , Büttenbender Pedro Luís
Published: November 2024

O livro propõe uma reflexão profunda sobre as concepções atuais sobre desenvolvimento, questionando a validade de modelos tradicionais que ainda associam crescimento econômico como seu principal critério. Inspirado pela frustração de décadas de estudos e publicações que se limitam a visões distorcidas e disciplinares, Valdir Roque Dallabrida oferece uma perspectiva inovadora: o desenvolvimento territorial é proposto como possibilidade de avanços. Nesse enfoque são colocadas em primeiro plano a sustentabilidade, a felicidade e o bem comum, tomados aqui como pilares essenciais de qualquer estratégia socioeconômica verdadeiramente transformadora.

Access to safe drinking water is considered a fundamental human right, yet, in most developing countries, this is not the case, as microbial contamination of drinking water is commonly responsible for the transmission of many waterborne diseases, including cholera, typhoid fever, diarrhoea, and dysentery. The study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of drinking water from three communities along the Odaw River in Accra, known for their poor waste-disposal practices and incidents of flooding. Water samples were collected from community tap water and locally manufactured sachet-water from three flood-prone communities along the Odaw River, namely, Alajo, Avenor, and Agbogbloshie, and analysed for the presence of indicator organisms: total coliforms, faecal coliforms, and Escherichia coli (E. coli). All brands of sachet water sampled from the three communities had no microbial contamination. Conversely, most community tap water showed contamination with indicator organisms that exceeded the international standard of 0 per 100 mL for potable water. The presence of faecal coliforms and E. coli in community-shared tap water is an indication of poor water quality and may present a risk for waterborne disease outbreaks among households and communities.
Atmospheric water harvesting as a sustainable and resilient resource in arid climates: gaining insights from ancient techniques
Authors: Verbrugghe Nathalie , Khan Ahmed Z.
Published: November 2024

Fog and dew, or atmospheric moisture, are valuable complementary resources. Ancient civilisations exploited these resources in harmony with the environment, though information on their techniques is fragmented. This review provides insights into the efficiency, evolution, and relevance of ancient atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) techniques from 5000 B.C. to the 1900s, alongside modern techniques. An analytical framework and assessment are presented to deduce their viability for replication, revival, restoration, or redevelopment. Modern fog collectors yield an average value of 3–10 L/m2/day and dew collectors 0.3–0.6 L/m2/day. Ancient fog collectors from Mexico and Chile resembled modern collectors, while fog drip from trees offers a natural alternative, collecting 10 L/m2/day. The stone drip method shows potential in urban areas with extensive concrete surfaces. Ancient dew collection techniques include alchemists' dew collectors, lithic mulching for soil water conservation, dew ponds for water retention, and stone-pile condensers, which collected up to 360 L/day. Air wells, however, were less effective. Ancient AWH techniques offer valuable insights and can effectively supplement modern collectors, enhancing resilience and water security, especially in arid regions. Implementing AWH techniques provides sustainable, decentralised, nature-based strategies on a micro and macro scale for mitigating contemporary water shortages amidst increasing climate challenges.

Chemical kinetics can be a useful tool for determining the optimal operating time of electrochemical processes. The main objective of the study was to determine the mineral oil removal rate by sono-electrochemical treatment. In this study, zero-, first-, and second-order kinetic models were used to determine the reaction rate of mineral oil removal with the sono-electrochemical process. The reaction rate experiments were conducted under the following optimal conditions: 8 min of treatment time, a current density of 53.1 A/m2, and a flow rate of 0.23 L/s. It was found that the changes in mineral oil concentrations follow second-order kinetics with a coefficient of determination of 0.9732. The mineral oil removal efficiency was 94.4%. This study concludes that sono-electrochemical process could be a promising technology for the removal of mineral oil from wastewater, and that the mineral oil removal rate can be determined by chemical kinetics. The results obtained may be useful for the optimization of the sono-EC process and reactor design.

Solitary Fibrous Tumors: A Rare Tumor Arising from Ubiquitous Anatomical Locations
Authors: Hekimsoy Ilhan , Erdogan Mertcan , Guler Ezgi , Bayraktaroglu Selen
Published: November 2024

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are uncommon mesenchymal tumors of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic origin that stem from various anatomical sites.
Most SFTs are asymptomatic and noticed incidentally by various imaging modalities. Although SFTs were initially identified in the pleura and
erroneously considered to originate solely from serosal layers, extrapleural SFTs have been reported more commonly than their pleural
counterparts. Imaging features are similar in different anatomical locations and are mainly related to the tumor’s size and collagen content,
characteristically displaying low signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging. Smaller tumors typically exhibit uniform enhancement, yet
necrotic regions may become evident as the tumor size increases, resulting in heterogeneous enhancement. Less than 30% of SFTs demonstrate
unfavorable clinical outcomes regardless of their histological features, warranting surgery as the preferred treatment with long-term follow-up. In
this article, we have reviewed the clinical manifestations and imaging features of SFTs, discussed their differential diagnosis based on anatomical
site, and provided diagnostic pearls.

Background

Effective interprofessional education (IPE) can facilitate teamwork between dentists and dental technicians, thereby enabling the efficient provision of high-quality dental care.

Objective

This study aimed to design and assess an IPE module named Project 35, which was offered to dental and dental technology students early in their undergraduate training as a precursor to a more comprehensive IPE curriculum in dentistry and dental technology.

Methods

Leveraging positive behavior support (PBS) theory, Project 35 was devised as an innovation and entrepreneurship educational training framework. It used project-based learning to cultivate teamwork skills and to promote the professional development of dental and dental technology students. The pilot study was designed to present the IPE module and preliminarily assess its validity. In survey 1, which was conducted immediately after the course, the dental and dental technology students’ self-reported skill acquisition and attitudes were assessed and compared. Survey 2, conducted 1 year after the course, focused on the comparative benefits of Project 35 training for dental technology students versus an untrained group.

Results

A total of 66 students, including 36 dental students and 30 dental technology students who had undertaken the training, were recruited. Project 35 training improved teamwork skills for students in both disciplines comparably, and the students recognized the training as highly valuable and effective. The mean values for all items indicating skills improvement of students ranged from 4.13 (SD 0.797) to 4.63 (SD 0.495) for dental students and from 4.13 (SD 0.869) to 4.74 (SD 0.619) for dental technology students. Among the dental technology students, the trained group showed greater independent and innovative approaches and was more optimistic about the future of the profession than the nontrained group (P<.05).

Conclusions

Despite the small sample size, the validity of the Project 35 training system was evident, and the success of our pilot study provides a sound basis for the future development of IPE in clinical dental and dental technology education programs.
