Carbon Sequestration and Subsidence Reversal in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Bay: Management Opportunities for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation
Authors:   US Geological Survey, Windham–Myers Lisamarie , Oikawa Patty ,   California State University, East Bay, Deverel Steve ,   HydroFocus, Inc., Chapple Dylan ,   Delta Stewardship Council, Drexler Judith ,   US Geological Survey, Stern Dylan ,   Delta Stewardship Council
Published: February 2023

The aquatic landscapes of the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta (hereafter, the Delta) and Suisun Bay represent both a significant past and future soil carbon stock. Historical alterations of hydrologic flows have led to depletion of soil carbon stocks via emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), and loss of elevation as a result of subsidence. Optimizing ecosystem hydrology in the Delta and Suisun Bay could both reduce and reverse subsidence while also providing significant opportunities for climate mitigation and adaptation. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs)—notably CO2, methane (CH4 ), and nitrous oxide (N2O)—contribute to global warming at different rates and intensities, requiring GHG accounting and modeling to assess the relative benefits of management options. Decades of data collection, model building, and map development suggest that past and current management actions have both caused—and can mitigate—losses of soil carbon. We review here the magnitude of potential GHG offsets, management options that may be achievable, and trade-offs of carbon storage under different land management. Using a land-use/land-cover framework to assess these management options, we describe the potential of three interventions (impoundment to reverse subsidence, agricultural management, and tidal reintroduction and/or maintained connectivity), both in acreage and radiative balance to clarify their relative influence on the region’s GHG balance today and in relation to its millennial history. From floodplains to farming to floating aquatic vegetation, we find specific scalable strategies to manage hydrology that can alter regional GHG balance. Preservation of soil carbon stocks and restoration of net atmospheric CO2 fluxes into soils are the primary route to net negative emissions in the Delta and Suisun Bay, with CH4 emission management occurring in a supporting role. Over a 40-year horizon of climate-mitigation markets, the resilience of different aquatic habitats introduces the most uncertainty, from expected and unexpected hydrologic changes associated with land, ocean, and operational water flows.

Bevezetés: A lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP) a cutan
lupus erythematosus krónikus formájának ritka variánsa, klinikailag tömött,
subcutan csomók és erythemás plakkok jellemzik. Az aktív tünetek az arcot és
testet torzító maradványtünetekkel gyógyulhatnak, rontva a betegek
életminőségét. A szisztémás lupus erythematosus (SLE) részjelensége lehet, első
tüneteként is kialakulhat. Célkitűzés: A LEP klinikopatológiai
képének bemutatása saját beteganyagunk szemléltetésével, a betegség lefolyásának
értékelése. Módszerek: A Semmelweis Egyetem Bőr-, Nemikórtani
és Bőronkológiai Klinikáján 2000 és 2022 között jelentkezett LEP-betegek
összegyűjtése, adataik retrospektív elemzése. Eredmények: A 17
beteg közül 1 férfi, 16 nő, átlagéletkoruk 37,8 év volt. Tüneteik a
leggyakrabban a proximalis alsó és felső végtagokon jelentkeztek (alsó: 8/17,
felső: 7/17), az arc 4, az emlő 3, a mellkas és a farpofák 2-2, a hát és a
lábszár 1-1 esetben volt érintett. A leggyakrabban aktív csomó (11/17), illetve
plakk jelentkezett (7/17), 4 esetben lipoatrophia, 3-nál kifekélyesedés, 1-nél
kalcifikáció. 6 betegnél a subcutan tünetet discoid plakk fedte. 10 betegnél
alakult ki szisztémás tünet: arthritis (4/17), hematológiai eltérés (5/17),
veseérintettség (2/17), antifoszfolipid-szindróma (2/17). Az SLE diagnózisát 7
esetben tudtuk felállítani. A szövettani kép 8 esetben kevert típusú
panniculitist, 3-nál lobularist mutatott. Átlagosan 24,3 hónap telt el a
diagnózis felállításáig. SLE-s betegeink bőrtünetei regrediáltak az alkalmazott
szisztémás immunszuppresszív kezelésekre. A kizárólag bőrmanifesztációt mutató
betegeink körében gyakori volt a terápiarezisztencia a cutan lupus
erythematosusban alkalmazott kezelésekre. Következtetés: A LEP
diagnosztizálása több hónapot, évet vehet igénybe. Szélesebb körű ismerete
segítheti a gyorsabb diagnózisalkotást, megelőzhető a maradványtünetek, illetve
az esetleges belszervi elváltozások kialakulása. Megfigyeléseink alapján SLE
nélküli LEP esetén is korai immunszuppresszív terápiát lenne érdemes bevezetni.

Impact of adding bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanoparticles on the electrical and mechanical properties of Cu0.5Tl0.5Ba2Ca2Cu3O10-δ ceramic
Authors: Rekaby M. , Matar M.
Published: February 2023

A mechanochemical route was used to prepare bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) with an average grain size of 20 nm. To obtain (BiVO4)x/Cu0.5Tl0.5Ba2Ca2Cu3O10-δ composites, appropriate amounts of BiVO4 (x) were added to Cu0.5Tl0.5Ba2Ca2Cu3O10-δ via a solid-state reaction. The superconducting critical temperature (Tc) was dropped from 119.5 to 103.5 K with x. The different conduction mechanisms were studied using the Aslamazov–Larkin and Lawrence–Doniach models. Four different fluctuation zones were observed. As the BiVO4 content rose the coherence length was increased from 19.69 to 39.30 Å. Superconducting parameters such as thermodynamic critical field Bc(0), lower critical magnetic field Bc1(0), upper critical magnetic field Bc2(0), and critical current density Jc(0) were decreased with x. Furthermore, the mechanical strength was studied through Vickers microindentation test and variety of mechanical parameters, including elastic modulus (E), yield strength (Y), fracture toughness (K), and brittleness index (B), were determined as a function of BiVO4 content.

Moral Choice and the Concept of Evil in Military Narratives of Orthodox Christians
Authors: Menshikov Andrey S.
Published: February 2023

The article contributes critically to the current discussion of militant piety in Russian Orthodox Christianity. It argues for a more historically informed use of the notion of militant piety, which can benefit from critical discourse analysis of personal narratives and the focus on lived experience and lived religion of Orthodox Christians who were involved in wars. The article analyses ego-documents collected in two recent volumes: the first showcases the stories of Orthodox clergy and believers in WWII; the second volume gives voice to army officers of late Soviet wars. Both volumes mold personal accounts into a larger narrative with the view to provide Orthodox believers with discursive means for reflection upon wars and to offer an exemplary Orthodox Christian attitude to war. In these narratives, beliefs and principles were understood by religious people not abstractly but in the context of their individual and collective experience. The first narrative reveals how the course of the Great Patriotic War changed the Orthodox Christians’ attitudes from initial self-sacrificial service in defense of the Motherland to waging the sacred war against the Antichrist forces of evil and later to ensuring the retribution for Nazi criminals who were interpretatively exempt from Christian commandment of love. The second narrative does not present a normative ideal of an Orthodox warrior but rather it sheds light on real “militant piety”, on practical religiosity of soldiers and officers, who built their relationship with God and religion in the context of their professional activity, regularly described as “work”. Christian doctrine of love and forgiveness in its abstract form would be inapplicable in this “work”. In personal accounts, however, Orthodox Christian ethics is adapted to the circumstances of the military service and is transformed into the lived religion based on the principles of self-sacrifice, loyalty, and duty.
At the Crossroads of Marriage: Experiences of Young Urban Middle-Class Women Negotiating Family and Sexuality Within Heterosexual Intimate Relationships in North India
Authors: Lamba Tanya
Published: February 2023

This paper critically examines the experiences of women in heterosexual intimate relationships. It aims to understand how women negotiate social structures of family, marriage choice, and community through intimate relationships. Young women are challenging gendered power relations, traditional family structures, and marriage norms in their everyday lives. By this, women challenge the old structures of patriarchy, caste system, and control of their sexuality. A qualitative research design using in-depth interviews with 12 working women in the age group of 25–30 years who were in intimate relationships was conducted. The study was based in Delhi and done over two months in 2019. Women were selected through snowball sampling. Narrative analysis has been used to evaluate women’s experiences in intimate relationships. The narratives show the struggles and negotiations that women do for love and how these struggles are becoming a way of challenging various structures like patriarchy, caste, class, and religion. Women choose their life partners or arrange for their love marriage. Still, the choice of the partner and the idea of marriage are influenced by the broader patriarchal, caste, and class structures. The women in this study have been able to move beyond the traditional norm of arranged marriage but have still not taken the leap of choice free of the broader institutions of caste, class, and family. The paper concludes by emphasising that although women choose their heterosexual partners for marriage, their choices are still influenced by their caste, class, and patriarchal structures.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the factors associated with the safety culture of patients under dialysis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: a cross-sectional and analytical study, carried out in Minas Gerais, with 134 professionals from three dialysis services. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, adapted for Brazil, was used. Results: only variable type of management was associated with the highest percentage of positive response in public and private services. Patient safety was rated as good by 55.7% of respondents. In dimension assessment, the public service presented one strength and five weaknesses, the private service did not present weak areas, and the philanthropic service presented a weakness. The priority areas for improvement actions are represented by dimensions “Nonpunitive response to error” and “Staffing”. Conclusions: interventions should consider the type of service management, as it is a factor associated with safety culture.

Disputando o partido, enfrentando opositores: efeitos políticos dos movimentos negro e LGBT+ nos governos Lula e Dilma (2003-2014)
Authors: Rodrigues Cristiano , Pereira Matheus Mazzilli
Published: February 2023

A aproximação institucional entre os movimentos negro e LGBT+ e o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) teve início em um mesmo período. No entanto, gerou efeitos políticos distintos durante a gestão do partido no governo federal. Este artigo avalia se, e como, essa distinção pode ser explicada pela relação entre esses movimentos e o PT e pela relação entre movimentos sociais e grupos opositores. Para tanto, analisa três conjuntos de evidências empíricas: 1) dados obtidos por pesquisa documental e bibliográfica acerca das relações entre esses dois movimentos sociais e o PT; 2) dados do orçamento federal para políticas de igualdade racial e de direitos LGBT+; 3) e dados sobre a produção legislativa favorável e contrária a esses temas entre a 52ª e a 54ª legislaturas. Os resultados indicam que as relações entre movimentos sociais, partidos e oposição legislativa explicam, ao menos em parte, as diferenças nos efeitos políticos dos movimentos. Tais achados introduzem novos elementos explicativos que enriquecem tradicionais modelos teóricos sobre as relações entre movimentos sociais, governos e burocracia.
Distribuição de cargos, contexto político e presidencialismo brasileiro: uma análise institucional do sistema de livre provimento
Authors: Albrecht Nayara F. Macedo de Medeiros
Published: February 2023

Este artigo analisa a evolução do sistema de livre provimento de cargos da burocracia pública brasileira. Por um lado, a literatura sobre ocupação de cargos na burocracia associa a alocação dos postos ao presidencialismo de coalizão. Por outro, essa literatura também aponta iniciativas de profissionalização da burocracia e de fortalecimento das carreiras estatais. Nesse contexto, os dilemas presidenciais consistem na escolha entre buscar o apoio da coalizão mediante a nomeação de correligionários e controlar as políticas nomeando indivíduos alinhados às suas preferências. Neste artigo, teorias sobre mudança institucional são o principal marco teórico ao analisar a evolução das regras de nomeações a cargos públicos e seus impactos em características relacionadas aos perfis dos nomeados. Mediante estudo de caso sobre o Brasil, verifica-se a congruência entre as previsões teóricas e as evidências empíricas quanto à relação entre instituições e distribuição de cargos. A metodologia compreende revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e estatística descritiva. A pesquisa documental concentrou-se nas regras referentes a órgãos de controle da presidência da República e percentuais obrigatórios destinados a servidores de carreira. Os resultados mostram que as normas não são efetivas, uma vez que não foram cumpridas pelos órgãos da administração pública federal. Ademais, a quantidade de servidores de carreira ocupando cargos públicos já era alta antes do estabelecimento de percentuais obrigatórios. Já o papel dos órgãos de controle oscilou entre os diferentes mandatos. Apesar da centralização do poder presidencial, há evidências de que os dirigentes públicos detêm certa margem de liberdade na formação de suas equipes e que requisitos estabelecidos por lei foram descumpridos. Dessa forma, as conclusões reforçam a necessidade de incluir instituições informais nas próximas análises. Além de promover uma descrição contextual da realidade brasileira, este artigo contribui ao teste e à construção de teorias sobre a relação entre instituições e distribuição de cargos públicos.

Abstract Searching for improvements in semen cryopreservation, natural substances are commonly studied focusing to improve the sperm quality. The aim of this study were evaluated the effect of adding orange, pineapple, and beet juices in different concentrations and combinations to the ram semen cryopreservation extender. Five ejaculates from five adult rams were used. The semen pool was diluted in egg yolk-based extender and mixed with the following 15 treatments (at a final concentration of 400.106 sptz/mL): orange 10% (O10) and 15% (O15); pineapple 10% (P10) and 15% (P15); beet 10% (B10) and 15% (B15); pineapple + orange 10% (PO10) and 15% (PO15); pineapple + beet 10% (PB10) and 15% (PB15); beet + orange 10% (BO10) and 15% (BO15); pineapple + beet + orange 10% (PBO10) and 15% (PBO15); and the control group (CON). Post-thaw in 0.25 mL straws semen quality analysis of cryopreserved semen was performed by CASA and flow cytometry. Analysis of variance (PROC GLM) was carried out and the averages were compared using the SNK test. Pearson's correlation test was also performed. No effect was noted in the addition of juices to the semen extender prior to cryopreservation. Post-thawed, although, statistically similar to the control group, the total motility of the B10 group reached acceptable standards of total motility. In addition, B10 group showed the highest values (p<0.05) of progressive motility than control group or other treatments. The addition of 10% beet juice to the ram semen extender can improve the cryopreservation of sperm motility.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da adição de sucos de laranja, abacaxi e beterraba em diferentes concentrações e combinações ao diluidor de criopreservação de sêmen ovino. Foram utilizados cinco ejaculados de cinco carneiros adultos. O pool de sêmen foi diluído em diluente à base de gema de ovo e misturado com os seguintes 15 tratamentos (na concentração final de 400x10⁶ sptz/ml): laranja 10% (O10) e 15% (O15); abacaxi 10% (P10) e 15% (P15); beterraba 10% (B10) e 15% (B15); abacaxi + laranja 10% (PO10) e 15% (PO15); abacaxi + beterraba 10% (PB10) e 15% (PB15); beterraba + laranja 10% (BO10) e 15% (BO15); abacaxi + beterraba + laranja 10% (PBO10) e 15% (PBO15); e o grupo controle (CON). Pós-descongelação em palhetas de 0,25 ml a análise da qualidade do sêmen criopreservado foi realizada pelo CASA e citometria de fluxo. A análise de variância foi realizada e as médias comparadas pelo teste SNK. O teste de correlação de Pearson também foi realizado. Nenhum efeito foi observado na adição de sucos ao diluidor de sêmen antes da criopreservação. Após o descongelamento, embora estatisticamente semelhante ao grupo controle, a motilidade total do grupo B10 atingiu padrões aceitáveis de motilidade total. Além disso, o grupo B10 apresentou os maiores valores (p<0,05) de motilidade progressiva que o grupo controle ou os outros tratamentos. A adição de 10% de suco de beterraba ao diluente de sêmen ovino pode melhorar a criopreservação da motilidade espermática.

Published: February 2023

Resumo Há uma demanda mundial por novas fontes proteicas de produções ambientalmente responsáveis, e a cunicultura se enquadra perfeitamente como uma atividade sustentável. Neste contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a carne de diferentes cortes da carcaça de coelho e avaliar sua utilização no processamento de produtos curados cozidos prontos para o consumo (RTE). As carnes cruas de coelho de diferentes cortes foram caracterizadas tecnologicamente, e os produtos RTE foram processados a partir das carnes de carcaça inteira (FC-INT), patas traseiras (FC-PERNIL), lombo (FC-LOMBO), patas dianteiras, caixa torácica e flanco (FC-APARAS). Um produto RTE com carne de pernil suíno (APRESUNTADO) também foi elaborado como referência. A carne de coelho de diferentes partes anatômicas diferiu na composição centesimal, conteúdo total de colágeno e pigmento heme, capacidade de retenção de água e cor (CIE), afetando as características dos produtos elaborados. Os produtos FC-APARAS apresentaram maior teor de gordura (5.46%), perdas por cozimento e reaquecimento (7,50% e 5,61%), baixa dureza e mastigabilidade (11.1 N e 17.37 N×mm). Maiores valores de luminosidade (L* ~70.27), matiz (h ~68.61°) de cor e uma fraca cor curada foram observados no FC-LOMBO, com uma coloração amarelada pálida descrita pela avaliação sensorial. FC-INT e FC-PERNIL foram correlacionados com os atributos sensoriais do tradicional APRESUNTADO, sendo mais preferidos e com maior intenção de compra do que FC-LOMBO e FC-APARAS. Concluiu-se que o desenvolvimento de produtos curados cozidos a partir de carcaças inteiras (FC-INT) é uma oportunidade potencial para a indústria de cunicultura oferecer produtos tecnológicos de valor agregado e de alta qualidade aos consumidores.
Application of calcium and boron directed to inflorescences in production, quality and nutrient accumulation in lettuce seeds

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Calcium and boron are important nutrients in the stages of flowering, pollen germination and in the fruiting process. As these nutrients are poorly mobile in the plant, some authors recommend foliar spraying in the production of seeds of some species. The objective was to study the influence of calcium and boron, via application directed to inflorescences, in production, quality and accumulation of nutrients in lettuce seeds. Four treatments were evaluated (only calcium: 0.72 g/L; only boron: 0.17 g/L; joint application of calcium and boron and control), in randomized blocks design with six replications. No influence was obtained between the treatments for seed production (number and weight of seeds per plant). Using boron, alone or together with calcium, the weight of a thousand seeds was lower compared to control, while only calcium did not differ from the control. No differences were obtained for germination and seed vigor. The application of calcium did not affect the accumulation of nutrients, however boron application increased the accumulation of this nutrient in the seeds. The application of calcium and boron directly in the inflorescences of lettuce did not promote an increase in the production and vigor of the seeds.

ABSTRACT Constant changes during the seed maturation process affect its final quality and the post-harvest fruit resting, which can improve seed physiological quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological and enzymatic activities of eggplant seeds extracted from fruits harvested at different ages and resting periods after harvest. Fruits were harvested presenting different colors at 40, 50, 60, and 70 days after anthesis (DAA) and rested for 0 (freshly harvested fruits), 10, and 20 days. The experimental design was set as completely randomized, with four replications and evaluated seeds extracted from six fruits per plot. The resting periods in eggplant fruits harvested at less than 60 DAA improved the mass of 1000 seeds, germination, vigor, and protein content. Seeds with higher germination and vigor presented lower dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POX) enzymatic activity. The results indicated that the ideal moment of eggplant harvest for seed production is when the fruit reaches the yellowish-brown color corresponding to about 60 DAA; however, if the eggplant fruit is harvested earlier (40 or 50 DAA), it has to rest for about 10 to 20 days to achieve high physiological quality (germination and vigor).

Methods: this was a descriptive study having as its data source violence notification forms held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System for the period 2011-2020; analysis of form completeness was performed according to criteria proposed by the Ministry of Health. Results: of the 486 registered cases, physical violence was the most reported type of violence (48.1%), followed by psychological violence (22.2%) and self-harm (21.4%); the fields with the highest degree of incompleteness were victim’s level of schooling (32.8%) and repeat violence (41.5%). Conclusion: despite the increase in notifications in the period, predominantly of physical violence, completeness of some of the form fields continues to be poor, which reinforces the importance of training professionals to improve the reporting process and data quality.

This paper examines the thermal management of a commercial 20 A h lithium ferro phosphate battery with the cold plates containing the serpentine tube structure, which is frequently preferred in heat exchanger applications. A numerical analysis is performed to explore the battery surface temperature distribution under varying operating conditions. In the study, an experimentally verified electrochemical thermal compound model was created and temperature distributions at the end of discharge at 1C, 3C, and 5C rates are obtained. The effects of different inlet temperatures (15°C, 25°C, and 35°C) and volumetric flow rates (0.1 L/min, 0.6 L/min, and 1.1 L/min) of the coolant on the two vital parameters of battery thermal management - maximum battery temperature and maximum battery temperature difference - are investigated for each discharge rate. As a key finding in this study, there is an acceleration of temperature variation from the middle part of the battery with the minimum temperature to the terminals with the maximum temperature, at the end of the discharge, in the use of a serpentine cold plate. Under the conditions where the coolant flow rate is maximum and the inlet temperature is minimum, the highest maximum temperature difference is 14.4°C, while the lowest maximum temperature difference is 10.8°C under the conditions where the coolant flow rate is minimum and the inlet temperature is maximum. Besides, the correlation equations in which the adjusted R2 values for maximum battery temperature difference and maximum battery temperature are 98.0% and 99.6%, respectively, are developed.
Bond prediction of stainless-steel reinforcement using artificial neural networks
Authors: Rabi Musab
Published: February 2023

Stainless-steel reinforcement has become increasingly popular in the construction industry in recent years, mainly due to its distinctive characteristics and excellent mechanical properties. There is a real need to develop a fundamental understanding of the bond behaviour of stainless-steel-reinforced concrete (RC). This paper investigates the bond behaviour of stainless-steel-RC using the advancement of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and compares the performance with experimental data available in the literature with reference to existing bond design rules according to international design standards. Accordingly, a new bond design formula is proposed to predict the bond strength capacity of stainless-steel reinforcement. The results show an excellent agreement between the experimental results and the predictions of the ANN model. Both Eurocode 2 and model code 2010 are shown to be extremely conservative compared with ANN predictions. The proposed ANN-based formula provides an excellent basis for engineers to specify bond strength of stainless-steel reinforcement in RC members in an efficient and sustainable manner, with minimal wastage of materials.

Significance Statement

Pregnancies in women with CKD carry greater risk than pregnancies in the general population. The small number of women in prior studies has limited estimates of this risk, especially among those with advanced CKD. We report the results of a population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada, that assessed more than 500,000 pregnancies, including 600 with a baseline eGFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. The investigation demonstrates increases in risk of different adverse maternal and fetal outcomes with lower eGFR and further risk elevation with baseline proteinuria.

Background

CKD is a risk factor for pregnancy complications, but estimates for adverse outcomes come largely from single-center studies with few women with moderate or advanced stage CKD.

Methods

To investigate the association between maternal baseline eGFR and risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, we conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study of women (not on dialysis or having had a kidney transplant) in Ontario, Canada, who delivered between 2007 and 2019. The study included 565,907 pregnancies among 462,053 women. Administrative health databases captured hospital births, outpatient laboratory testing, and pregnancy complications. We analyzed pregnancies with serum creatinine measured within 2 years of conception up to 30 days after conception and assessed the impact of urine protein where available.

Results

The risk of major maternal morbidity, preterm delivery, and low birthweight increased monotonically across declining eGFR categories, with risk increase most notable as eGFR dropped below 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. A total of 56 (40%) of the 133 pregnancies with an eGFR <45 ml/min per 1.73 m2 resulted in delivery under 37 weeks, compared with 10% of pregnancies when eGFR exceeded 90 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Greater proteinuria significantly increased risk within each eGFR category. Maternal and neonatal deaths were rare regardless of baseline eGFR (<0.3% of all pregnancies). Only 7% of women with an eGFR <45 ml/min per 1.73 m2 received dialysis during or immediately after pregnancy.

Conclusions

We observed higher rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with low eGFR with concurrent proteinuria. These results can help inform health care policy, preconception counseling, and pregnancy follow-up in women with CKD.
Higher Education and Global Social Injustice
Authors: Viggiano Tiffany
Published: February 2023

This dissertation, composed of three unique scholarly articles, explores some of the ways in which institutions of higher education facilitate and mitigate social injustice on a global scale. Specifically analyzing the behavior of administrative actors—defined as those that serve in a leadership role outside of the classroom—the purpose of the research was twofold. Firstly, I aimed to identify the mechanisms by which administrative actors at U.S. and Finnish institutions of higher education legitimized and rationalized their involvement in globally unjust educational practices. Secondly, I sought to identify the ways in which administrative actors in these economically privileged countries can or have mitigated their institutions’ involvement in global structural injustice. Three lines of inquiry guided this investigation: (1) In what ways do administrative actors at U. S. and Finnish institutions of higher education justify and reproduce global injustice? (2) How might administrative actors at institutions of higher education in these economically affluent countries begin to mitigate their institutions’ role in global social injustice? (3) In what ways have administrative actors at institutions of higher education in these economically affluent countries addressed global social injustice? What challenges do they face? Sub-study I explained the ways in which 26 practitioners at community colleges in three different community colleges, located within different states the U.S., conceptualized the role of international students on their campuses. Findings indicated that administrative actors assumed international students to be a privileged class of students, and therefore did not apply the logic of social justice to the non-domestic students in the same way that it was applied to domestic counterparts. Through literature review, Sub-study II theoretically explored the ways in which humanism and critical theory have been applied to justify study abroad at the community college. Drawing on Young’s (2006) justice theory, Sub-study II constructs a globally critical humanist rationale to study abroad at the community college, and provides examples of the ways in which administrative actors could employ such a frame to advocate for more globally socially just practices. Sub-study III analyzed 15 interviews from administrative actors at an institution of higher education in Finland. Findings indicated that, although participants often articulated a responsibility for injustice, factors associated with neoliberalism, as well as unclear and conflicting definitions of global responsibility, contributed to blame shifting and excusing discourse. The investigation concludes with implications for future research.
Pessoas em situação de rua: inclusão/exclusão social, políticas públicas, atuação do psicólogo
Authors: Collodel Magalhães Reis Tomás , Valério dos Santos Azevêdo Adriano
Published: February 2023

Pessoas em situação de rua estão diariamente expostas às situações de vulnerabilidades e preconceitos, o que mostra a necessidade de reconhecimento de seus direitos previstos nas legislações Brasileiras. Este texto objetivou discutir os aspectos conceituais do processo de inclusão/exclusão social  de pessoas em situação de rua relacionando-os com as políticas públicas e ações da Psicologia. O estudo analisou o aspecto teórico, a cronologia referente a construção e implementação de políticas públicas, e atuação do psicólogo. Inicialmente apresenta-se um modelo teórico que considera a perspectiva dialógica da inclusão/exclusão social. Verificou-se que no Brasil, na década de 1990, as legislações direcionadas para a assistência social impulsionaram, no ano de 2009, a construção de uma política pública para pessoas em situação de rua. Isto possibilitou o surgimento de serviços socioassistenciais, por exemplo, o Centro de Referência Especializado para População em Situação de Rua (Centro Pop), e Consultório nas Ruas. É nesse contexto que o psicólogo desenvolve práticas baseadas em conhecimentos propostos pelas legislações vigentes e recomendações do Conselho Federal de Psicologia priorizando o diagnóstico socioterritorial, a escuta qualificada e a redução de danos buscando valorizar as singularidades. Existem limites e desafios referentes a reconstrução de vínculos familiares, reinserção social e construção de projetos e perspectivas de vida. Recomenda-se delimitar intervenções psicossociais articuladas com políticas públicas para promover a garantia dos direitos humanos, cidadania, e justiça social.

Das Impressum ist Teil von Druckwerken und gehört zur Peripherie der Paratexte. Dort steht es allerdings diskret im Hintergrund, im Gegensatz zu Anderem, das bereits auf Umschlägen sich breitmacht und sofort ins Auge springen will. In Büchern billigt man dem Druckvermerk nur eine nachgeordnete Position zu: als Petitesse, die auf der «‹schönen Seite›» des Recto nichts verloren hat. Gewöhnlich wird er auf die «Rückseite des Titelblattes» gesetzt, gelegentlich auch erst am «Schluß des Bandes» nachgetragen und meist unten oder mittig, seltener am oberen Seitenrand platziert. Trotz der notorischen Bagatellisierung durch Typographie und Layout trägt das Impressum viel juristisches Gewicht. Es weist Namen und Adressen derer aus, die für unliebsame Folgen der Veröffentlichung presserechtlich haften.

Published: February 2023

The popularity of the concept of employee engagement in the scientific community hasgrown significantly over the past few decades, many large companies have implemented it in practice, conducting regular engagement surveys. However, there is still no common understanding of the essence of this phenomenon, what it consists of, what factors influence its formation and how to measureit. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to systematize the approaches to defining and measuring employee engagement, proposed in scientific and professional publications, as well as to discuss methodological challenges and prospects in connection with the transformation of the context of work. Method. The first part of the article examines the most famous scientific approaches to the definition of engagement at work and related constructs, factors, and models of involvement, including appliedones, used by consulting companies. The second part focuses on the measurement of engagement. The third part discusses the new challenges facing employee engagement researchers and practitioners in the face of changing working conditions, most notably the wide spread use of digital technology and remote working accelerated by COVID-19 pandemic. The article is based on a review of scientific andprofessional literature and contains several elements of novelty. Findings. For the first time, a detailedanalysis of the main theoretical approaches to interpreting and measuring the “employee engagement” construct presented in foreign and domestic literature was carried out; the characteristics of the employee engagement models of consulting companies, which are used by practitioners in the field of organizational psychology, and human resource management, are given; the challenges in the field of conceptualization and methodology for measuring the employee engagement in the new conditions of doing business and organizing work were described. Value of results. The scientific significance of the article lies in the systematization of various areas of theoretical and empirical studies in foreign and domestic literature on employee engagement. HR managers can get from the article valuablein formation about the specific approaches of consulting companies involved in conducting employee engagement surveys, which can be used to interpret their results, and to design their own engagement surveys taking into account the company’s characteristics.
