Authors: Massunguire António João , Abreu Mariana Aparecida de Freitas , Borges Luís Antônio Coimbra , Fazenda Zefanias Samuel
Published: January 2025

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify possible gaps and opportunities in Mozambique's environmental legislation in order to point out opportunities for optimizing the environmental regularization of enterprises and activities that degrade the environment.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this research we list the main opportunities for improvement in Mozambican environmental legislation on the licensing of projects, based on global experiences. Thus, we studied the main environmental laws in force in the country and sought to draw from them the following key aspects: institutions that intervene in the licensing process, guidelines, government databases, integration between planning instruments, types of environmental licenses, environmental impact assessment, strategic environmental assessment, environmental compensation, duration of the process, and the participation of society during environmental audits.
 
Method: This study was based on a descriptive documentary analysis, according to the methodology of Gil (2002). The following steps were followed: identification of normative instruments, survey of key issues, comparison with the practices of other countries, and, finally, outlining aspects for potential improvement, taking into account the legislation in application in the G7 and BRICS.
 
Results and Discussion: Our results indicated that, in general terms, Mozambican legislation does not differ from that applied in the G7 and BRICS countries in regards to the involvement of various institutions in environmental licensing, the existence of guidelines, the application of environmental impact assessment, environmental compensation, and the participation of society. In this sense, we discuss opportunities for improvements to be implemented in Mozambican public policies.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence the analysis time of the environmental regularization licensing process. We also observed the lack of a database available for public access, the absence of strategic environmental assessment, and the lack of integration between planning instruments in current legislation. The lack of these instruments contributes to possible environmental and socio-economic liabilities.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by explaining the importance of creating and implementing a robust and intelligent database available for public access on a geospatial platform. It also contributes to the inclusion of public participation, both in person and online, in public hearings on the environmental regularization of projects and their respective activities that cause environmental, social, and economic impacts when not assessed and mitigated.

The role of cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy in the prognosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Recommendations for patient management
Authors: Mehtiev S. N. , Mehtieva O. A.
Published: January 2025

There is a close connection between cholelithiasis (GSD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is based on common risk factors, insulin resistance, disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, hepato-enteric circulation (HEC) of bile acids and the state of intestinal microflora. Chole-cystectomy (CE) is currently considered as an independent risk factor for the development and progres-sion of NAFLD and metabolic disorders in patients with cholelithiasis.

That is why a patient suffering from cholelithiasis and NAFLD needs an individual approach before cholecystectomy. Patients with cholelithiasis and NAFLD are recommended to undergo a dynamic monitoring after cholecystectomy. The monitoring includes a control of general condition, biochemical parameters of the liver, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, liver fibroelastography parameters. The treatment for this category of patients is aimed at eliminating risk factors, strict adherence to diet, phys-ical activity regimen, in order to correct obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, the use of drugs that im-prove the condition of the hepatocytes, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the metabolic function of hepatocytes and inhibiting the processes of fibrogenesis in liver. At the same time, the common medi-cines of this category of patients are ursodeoxycholic acid, glycyrrhizic acid, phospholipids, antioxi-dants, and drugs to cure bacterial overgrowth syndrome in the intestines.

Authors: Moraes Luis Enrique Martins , Marques-de-Souza Juliane
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho aborda a influência do garimpo na evasão escolar, um problema regional que parece afetar o desenvolvimento acadêmico e social dos estudantes. O foco da pesquisa está no estado de Roraima, especialmente em Boa Vista, onde o garimpo ilegal é uma atividade econômica significativa para famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade e que parece influenciar negativamente a permanência dos estudantes nas escolas. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é fornecer uma visão abrangente dos fatores que contribuem para a evasão escolar, considerando as implicações socioambientais e as consequências para a vida dos estudantes. A pesquisa, de abordagem mista, qualitativa e quantitativa, utilizou questionários online distribuídos a estudantes de escolas públicas, visando compreender o perfil dos alunos que evadem, os motivos da evasão relacionados ao garimpo e as consequências dessa escolha. Os resultados mostraram que 60% dos participantes que responderam a pesquisa são do sexo feminino e a maioria tem entre 15 e 17 anos. Destacou-se, ainda, que 73,2% dos respondentes conhecem alguém envolvido com garimpo, evidenciando a forte influência dessa prática na região. Aos motivos relatados para a evasão escolar dos estudantes, foram mencionadas a crise financeira e a necessidade de ajudar a família, além da crença de ganhos fáceis proporcionados pelo garimpo. Tal análise revela que o trabalho no garimpo ilegal, a despeito de todos os riscos envolvidos, está normalizado dentre os jovens estudantes sem que os mesmos percebam ou associem seus problemas escolares com a atividade em si. Apenas dois participantes indicaram perceber os prejuízos decorrentes dessa escolha familiar e ambos retornaram à escola muitos anos depois da evasão tentando compensar o prejuízo nos estudos.

Published: January 2025

A infiltração de água no solo é um processo crucial que influencia diretamente a gestão de recursos hídricos e a sustentabilidade ambiental, especialmente em regiões semiáridas. Este estudo investigou a influência do uso e da cobertura do solo na infiltração de água em Argissolos Vermelhos e Neossolos Litólicos, com e sem cobertura vegetal, no município de Assú, Rio Grande do Norte. A taxa de infiltração de água foi analisada utilizando a metodologia proposta por Guerra (2011), enquanto a granulometria foi examinada pela Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária do Rio Grande do Norte (EMPARN). Observou-se que o Argissolo Vermelho com vegetação apresentou a maior taxa de infiltração de água, atribuída à sua alta porosidade e ao conteúdo predominante de areia. Por outro lado, o Neossolo Litólico, especialmente nas áreas sem vegetação, exibiu taxas de infiltração mais baixas, devido à sua composição rochosa e ao elevado conteúdo de argila e silte. Os resultados destacam a importância da vegetação na preservação das propriedades do solo e na promoção da infiltração de água. Além disso, enfatizam a necessidade de uma gestão adequada do uso do solo para conservar os recursos hídricos e mitigar a degradação ambiental em regiões semiáridas. A conclusão deste estudo também se baseou em extensas revisões bibliográficas sobre o tema.

Published: January 2025

The present study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a counseling program based on thought-stopping among female students suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and compulsive hoarding disorder (CHD). The sample consisted of 40 students distributed equally and randomly to the treatment and control groups. OCD and CHD scales and a program based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in thought-stopping were applied. The program began with discussion, thought-stopping exercises, homework, and evaluation at the end of the session.  The experimental design was employed. Both the treatment group and control group received pretests, posttest, and follow-up of OCD and CHD scales. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the paired sample t-test were used to address the study hypotheses. The results showed that there were significant differences between the treatment and control group in OCD and CHD in favor of the treatment group on the posttest, with high effects, respectively, of 30% and 26%. Results also showed the program's effectiveness of thought-stopping on the follow-up test, a month after program termination. Thought-stopping training of cognitive behavioral therapy method contributes effectively to reducing OCD and HCD among female students in the school environment, we recommend applying this technique to improve adjustment and lifestyle. Therefore, CBT is a highly effective treatment in reducing cognitive distortions and irrational thoughts and effectively deals with OCD and HCD caused by negative and maladaptive thoughts.

Published: January 2025

Reverence, also known as ta’dzim in Pondok Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), is a moral aspect which is taught to santri (students in Islamic boarding schools) as the most important value. Ta’dzim is delivered as an ethic, develops as a value, and grows to be part of a santri’s personality and standard behavior. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable Santri Reverence Morals Scale (SRMS) through the Rasch Model analysis. The scale was supervised under an expert judgement evaluation which was involved 7 experts and distributed to 95 participants (male santri aged between 13-23 years) who were selected through stratified random sampling. The Rasch Model analyzed output and the interpretation included data about instrument, items, and person. This study indicated that the Santri Reverence Morals Scale is very reliable, predominantly fits items, and is unidimensionally proven. In this paper, such shortcomings as hard items, misfit items, and bias items are also discussed and evaluated. The composite analysis of instrument, items, and abilities concluded that the SRMS is a questionnaire with high reliability and validity (the item separation value is 3.40 and Cronbach alpha score is 0.82). This initial instrument testing stage requires further development so that a high-quality questionnaire can be produced to measure and study the ta’dzim of santri.

The article summarizes the studies on the applicability of detergents produced by InterKhimmet (St. Petersburg) in the decontamination of measuring instruments contaminated with alpha-emitting radionuclides. It considers the prospects for measuring instrument decontamination based on the submersion method both with and without ultrasonic exposure, as well as on the combined use of application and rubbing methods. The paper evaluates the corrosive effect produced by these detergents on the structural material of the instruments (carbon steel). The study demonstrates that the studied technical detergents can effectively decontaminate the instruments from alpha-emitters whereas ultrasonic exposure contributes to higher decontamination efficiency. At higher temperatures of up to 50°C, the decontamination efficiency of solutions grows to up to three times. Corrosion tests showed that the Compo K Clean 1 detergent should be considered as the most aggressive solution for carbon steel instruments. The study recommends Compalum N9 and Compo Shch L1020 technical detergents for measuring instrument decontamination.

The article presents the results of the development and experimental study of two simplified physical models of the neonatal mediastinum for electrical impedance tomography. The created models are based on spiral computed tomography data and take into account the anatomical features of the infant chest organs. The designs were implemented using 3D printing technologies, which made it possible to achieve high accuracy of geometric parameters. The models are equipped with a controlled air filling system for the lungs and three rows of electrodes, which makes it possible to conduct experiments on modeling global and regional ventilation. Experimental studies have demonstrated that the developed models make it possible to record respiratory volumes in the range from 2 to 120 ml, which corresponds to the physiological parameters of newborn breathing. The data obtained confirmed the operability of the models, their sensitivity to changes in air volumes, as well as their suitability for research and testing of new algorithms and methods in the field of electrical impedance tomography. It was found that the proposed models provide adequate reproduction of ventilation processes and can be used to develop diagnostic solutions in the field of neonatology. The results of the work are of practical value for scientific research aimed at improving methods for diagnosing respiratory disorders in newborns, and can be used in educational practice.

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the ultrafast internal conversion (IC) and intersystem crossing (ISC) dynamics of two thiopyridone isomers in solution. Our study used sulfur K-edge ultrafast transient x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in conjunction with electronic excited state surface hopping molecular dynamics and simulations of the excited state XAS, to investigate the impact of the functional group substitution pattern and solvent on the dynamics of IC and ISC. The combination of the localized x-ray probe and the simulation results enables, in part, the differentiation between ππ∗ and nπ∗ character excited states, as well as singlet and triplet states. Access to nπ∗ character excitations has particular value since they often prove challenging to assess with optical spectroscopy. The results point to the key role of these nπ∗ intermediates in mediating the intersystem crossing of these systems. Varying the substitution pattern of the molecule can stabilize or destabilize these intermediates leading to an increase in the rate of ISC in the ortho isomer as compared to the para isomer, while changing the solvent from acetonitrile to water had minimal effect on the electronic excited state relaxation mechanism.
High Throughput Ligand Dissociation Kinetics Predictions using Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation
Authors: Yu Wenbo , Kumar Shashi , Zhao Mingtian , Weber David , MacKerell Alex
Published: January 2025

The dissociation or off rate, koff, of a drug molecule has been shown to be more relevant to efficacy than affinity for selected systems motivating the development of predictive computational methodologies. These are largely based on enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that come at a high computational cost limiting their utility for drug design where a large number of ligands needs to be evaluated. To overcome this, presented is a combined physics- and machine learning (ML)-based approach that uses the physics-based site-identification by ligand competitive saturation (SILCS) method to enumerate potential ligand dissociation pathways and calculate ligand dissociation free energy profiles along those pathways. The calculated free energy profiles along with molecular properties are used as features to train ML models, including tree- and neural network approaches, to predict koff values. The protocol is developed and validated using 329 ligands for thirteen proteins showing robustness of the ML workflows built upon the SILCS physics-based free energy profiles. The resulting SILCS-Kinetics workflow offers a highly efficient method to study ligand dissociation kinetics, providing a powerful tool to facilitate drug design including the ability to generate quantitative estimates of atomic and functional groups contributions to ligand dissociation.
Comprehensive Analysis for Low-cost and Highly Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells Using SCAPS-1D with Inexpensive Hole Transport Material, Electron Transport Material and Back Contact Considering the Toxicity
Authors: Uddin Rukon , Alam Sayem Ul , Bhowmik Subrata
Published: January 2025

Perovskite solar cells are gaining popularity day by day due to the continuous effort of solar scientists. However, there are several barriers to the commercialization of this solar cell. Various materials can be used to achieve higher efficiency of perovskite solar cell design. Some of these materials may also contain lead (Pb), which harms human life and the environment. Another crucial hindrance for perovskite solar cells is the cost regarding hole transport material (HTM), electron transport material (ETM), and back contact; most of the common HTM, ETM, and back contact materials are expensive. In this study, we have chosen inexpensive HTM, ETM, and back contact to determine highly efficient and less expensive cell structures. Eleven non-toxic and three Pb-based absorber materials have been simulated using SCAPS-1D simulator where ETM (ZnO) and HTM (PEDOT: PSS+WO3) are constant to determine the best absorber material. Later the effect of thickness, temperature, back and front contact, electron affinity, defect density, and series resistance are also considered. After simulation and optimization, it is found that Ni is the least expensive back contact material for providing optimal efficiency, MAPbI3 is the best Pb-based absorber material with open circuit voltage (Voc) =1.10V, short circuit current (Jsc) =28.47 mA/cm2, fill factor (FF) =86.42%, power conversion efficiency (eta(%)) =27.10%. In contrast, the best non-toxic material is MASnI3 with Voc =0.97V, Jsc =34.89mA/cm2, FF =82.51% and eta (%) =27.98%.

The worldwide deficiency of clean water is common for both developed and developing countries. Current time reports claims, Municipal solid waste from India estimated to contribute 10% waste leakage to world’s rivers till 2020, according to study. Future scenarios where population growth is high, but urbanization slow, India and China will face great leakage into rivers due to rural population close to water courses throughout 2025. A little over half of India’s 603 rivers were found to be polluted by the Central Pollution Control Board in 2022.This same issue stretches out to districts inside nations, like the Indian territory of Uttarakhand, known for its perfect climate however presently confronting extreme water quality issues. The proposed review utilizing multivariate factual procedures viewed that as 90% of water tests from Doon were contaminated. Rising populations, industrialization, and urbanization have expanded the interest for clean water, strengthening this emergency. This review study broke down river water quality in Uttarakhand across various seasons — summer, winter, and monsoon. The outcomes were contrasted with norms set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Indian Standard Institute (ISI), and the World Health Organization (WHO). Various parameters like Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Ammonia-N, Chloride, Sulfate, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Electrical Conductivity, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, temperature, E. coli, pH level, Dissolved Oxygen, and Turbidity were measured and analyzed. Study will demonstrate requirement for vigorous systems to safeguard water assets and safeguard general wellbeing, highlighting the basic requirement for composed worldwide endeavors to address the water emergency.
Novel earth-abundant Cu and Fe-based chalcogenide cocatalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
Authors: Zander Judith , Marschall Roland
Published: January 2025

While photocatalysis offers an attractive route towards the sustainable production of hydrogen (H2) and other green fuels or commodity chemicals, significant improvements in efficiency and reductions in production costs are still needed. Traditionally, noble metal cocatalysts are used to increase the activity and selectivity of a photocatalyst. In this work, we systematically investigate different nanomaterials based on the abundant and inexpensive elements Cu and Fe as cocatalysts on TiO2 (P25) for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under simulated sunlight as well as under UV irradiation. All the investigated Cu and Fe sulfides/oxides can be obtained via simple and fast microwave-assisted synthesis. In addition, we show how further modifications, such as partial oxidation of the sulfides or doping of CuFe2O4 with Ni, can have a tremendous effect on the performance as a cocatalyst, increasing the activity by a factor of more than 15 compared to pristine TiO2 and by a factor of almost 6 compared to TiO2 equipped with undoped CuFe2O4 under AM 1.5G simulated sunlight. Under UV irradiation, an H2 evolution rate of more than 2.3 mmol h-1 was achieved. Thus, this work opens a new design platform for the synthesis of earth-abundant cocatalysts for noble metal substitution in photocatalysis.
University Assessment in the Age of Excessive Normativity: Examining Academic Professionalism and the Roles of Teachers and Students
Authors: Ion Georgeta , Cano Elena
Published: January 2025

Universities in Spain, as well as globally, are currently witnessing a surge in regulations covering all aspects of operation, including teaching, learning and assessment. The present paper endeavours to explore the repercussions of excessive regulations on the roles of educators and students. It examines how these prescriptions pose a threat to academic freedom, faculty agency and teaching professionalism. The analysis is based on an examination of institutional assessment-related institutional policy documents from eight Catalan universities. The documents reveal a disconnect between the expectations surrounding the professionalism and agency of academics and the prescribed directives, which often leave room for interpretation by those tasked with their implementation. The documents also shed light on the perception of an escalating centralisation of control over strategies that can enhance student learning. This raises questions about the autonomy and professional judgment of educators when selecting the instructional methods that are best suited to and most advantageous for their students.
B.WALDENFELS'S RESPONSIVE TOPOGRAPHY OF FOREIGNNESS: ART'S RESPONSES TO CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES
Authors: Tytar Olena , Alimova Viktoriia
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to consider the topography of foreignness of Waldenfels as an example of a possible phenomenology of modern art and all the contradictions of the modern artistic image. Research methods – hermeneutics, phenomenology, responsive phenomenology of B. Waldenfels, philosophy of art, discursive and art analysis, philosophy of trauma. Scientific novelty. It is proved that modern postmodern and metamodern culture is characterized by the understanding of the Stranger and alienation. The best theoretician of the problem of the Stranger and the meeting of a person with a stranger is B. Waldenfels. For the first time, the phenomenology of someone else's Waldenfels was applied to understand the philosophy and imagery of modern Ukrainian art. The stranger can acquire both positive semantics, the gradual development of the city, and hostility, the threat of depopulation, the disappearance of human features in the city, where the city can become a symbol of the destruction and oblivion of the usual world of a traumatized person. Conclusions. Modernism was characterized by the loss of reality in space, this becomes irony in postmodernism and alienation in metamodernism. Control and totality are trying to be destroyed by the postmodern, instead we see that the postmodern has to meet the Stranger as a threat and a possible participant in the dialogue. Modern art insists on the polyphony of such a dialogue, and that the pleasant and unpleasant features of the Stranger must be accepted. Postmodern art refuses to reflect on violence, which leads to worldview crises and is one of the ideological bases of wars, in particular the Russian-Ukrainian one. One of the ways to describe such a situation is to describe the images of modern art as phatic and dynamic. Efforts to achieve harmony and pure form level the distance. The introduction of distance and emptiness in the artistic image of postmodern and metamodern corresponds to the distances of the material world, defines postmodern art. Based on the explication of Waldenfels' phenomenology of alienation, it is possible to consider contemporary art and most of its existing contradictions as a dual process - both the emergence of alienation and delocalization of old cultural spaces, and the creation of new digital and media spaces of social solidarity.

This article is devoted to the scientific study of international legal regulation of such phenomena as mediation through the analysis of the legislation of foreign countries and the national law of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This article presents various points of view of foreign, Russian, and domestic scientists on dispute resolution in the mediation procedure. From a scientific perspective, legal features of dispute resolution in the order of mediation are of particular interest in connection with the relatively new and unexamined phenomenon of modernity, arising from increasing processes of globalization and internationalization of legal systems as well as scientific and technical progress. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the experience of various countries in mediation, including the USA, Germany, Austria, India, and China, which allows us to identify common principles and features of the application of mediation in different legal systems. The experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the development of the institution of mediation, its legislative regulation and prospects for further integration within the EAEU are also considered.

The study emphasizes the importance of mediation as an effective tool for alternative dispute resolution, which helps reduce the burden on the judicial system and develop a culture of peaceful conflict resolution. The article also discusses the main advantages of mediation, such as confidentiality of the process, saving time and financial resources, as well as the ability to maintain business and personal relationships between the parties to the conflict. Particular attention is paid to the role of the mediator as a neutral intermediary who facilitates effective communication between the parties and the search for mutually beneficial solutions.
Replicando modelos de impacto coletivo nos países em desenvolvimento. O modelo funciona no contexto da Amazônia brasileira?

The Collective Impact Initiative (CII) model is a framework designed to address complex social issues through collaborative efforts and emergent solutions. It emphasizes the interdependence of social problems and solutions and discourages predetermined approaches. The model is based on five fundamental principles that provide a coherent set of recommendations to guide collective impact initiatives: backbone organizations, a shared agenda, shared measurement systems, mutually reinforcing activities, and ongoing communication while CII has gained global recognition and increased academic research, its potential in different contexts, such as the Brazilian Amazon, remains uncertain due to varying societal configurations and traditional collaborative models. Critiques of the model highlight its lack of specificity for individual projects, with success depending on historical relationships, differing interests, and participants' perceptions. Some authors also argue that the model oversimplifies the options, focusing primarily on Isolated Impact or Collective Impact, neglecting other community types of coalitions with broader scopes. CII is also criticized for having a top-down approach and failing to prioritize community engagement and incorporate local knowledge. Translating the CII model from the global north to the worldwide south presents challenges, including issues related to institutional capacity, legal frameworks, and governance dynamics. Maintaining long-term collaboration and securing funding in developing countries can be particularly challenging. Despite these challenges, the model's potential for addressing complex social problems remains promising, but it requires careful consideration and adaptation when applied in new contexts, especially those with unique socioeconomic and cultural attributes.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar os formatos de certificação orgânica disponíveis e acessados pelos agricultores no Brasil. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido uma pesquisa exploratória com aprofundamento teórico e em dados secundários sobre produção orgânica e os tipos de certificação. Quanto aos formatos disponíveis no país, além da certificação por auditoria (principal mecanismo de certificação da produção), foram verificados outros mecanismos de controle em que o Brasil se destaca por ter incorporado em sua legislação elementos que expressam a sua própria realidade produtiva, como os organismos de certificação participativa, que colaboram especialmente para o desenvolvimento da atividade na agricultura familiar. Por fim, considera-se que diferentes tipos de certificação orgânica existentes atendem as especificidades dos tipos de agricultores. Entretanto, somente a certificação não é capaz de superar as barreiras de inserção nos mercados.
