O projeto de educação sanitária em escolas públicas de Mauriti - CE tem como objetivo central a prevenção de doenças parasitárias, reconhecendo sua importância para aprimorar a saúde pública, elevar a qualidade de vida e reduzir os custos associados à saúde. A parasitologia, intrinsecamente ligada aos hábitos e condições socioeconômicas, requer investimentos na educação, conscientização sobre os riscos de contaminação e adoção de práticas preventivas. Crianças, adolescentes e comunidades em situações precárias são especialmente vulneráveis a essas doenças. O projeto abrange uma revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo em duas escolas de Mauriti, empregando Termos de Assentimento e Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. No DATASUS, foram identificadas as principais parasitoses na população caririense, incluindo ascaridíase, doença de Chagas, esquistossomose, giardíase, leishmanioses tegumentar americana e visceral, toxoplasmose e tricuríase. O levantamento bibliográfico fundamentou-se em fontes como Google Acadêmico e Scielo. Para disseminar a conscientização, foram desenvolvidos materiais educativos, como cartilhas, panfletos e infográficos, além de realizadas palestras, oficinas e aplicação de questionários. O questionário I, aplicado a 121 estudantes, revelou variações no conhecimento das doenças: 22 conheciam a ascaridíase, 77 a doença de Chagas, 27 a esquistossomose, 9 a giardíase, 19 as leishmanioses tegumentar americana e visceral, 19 a toxoplasmose e 16 a tricuríase. Quinze alunos afirmaram não conhecer nenhuma parasitose, e alguns conheciam mais de uma doença. Ao término do projeto, todos os entrevistados afirmaram compreender melhor as parasitoses e como evitá-las. Esses resultados indicaram uma melhoria significativa no conhecimento sobre doenças parasitológicas após a participação no projeto. Os participantes demonstraram maior familiaridade com as principais doenças causadas por parasitas e compreenderam a importância da prevenção e do tratamento adequado. A implementação da educação sanitária nas escolas públicas de Mauriti resultou em avanços significativos na conscientização e educação sobre parasitoses. A abordagem profissional adotada durante as atividades permitiu transmitir informações precisas e atualizadas aos estudantes, promovendo um maior entendimento sobre as doenças parasitológicas e a importância da prevenção. O projeto gerou impactos positivos e duradouros na vida dos envolvidos, contribuindo para a formação de cidadãos conscientes e responsáveis em relação à prevenção e combate de parasitoses.

“Também somos uma família”: direito de adoção por casais homossexuais a partir da análise do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente/90
Authors: Santos Antônio Nacílio Sousa dos , Araújo Júnior Francisco de Assis de , Correia Michele Teles Alencar
Published: March 2024

O ato de adotar advindo de famílias homossexuais sempre causa grandes repercussões na sociedade, principalmente entre pessoas conservadoras. Soma-se a isso o fato de não termos um respaldo legal desse processo para estas famílias em textos normativos. A pesquisa traz a discussão acerca da adoção por casais homossexuais no Brasil a partir da reflexão, no âmbito judicial, por meio de interpretações do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA/90). Metodologicamente fizemos uso da pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica, utilizando fontes como artigos científicos, jurisprudência e, principalmente, da análise das normativas dos preceitos do Estatuto referentes à adoção. Teoricamente trouxemos autores da atualidade como Dias (2007) e Diniz (2007), entre outros que versam sobre a temática. Concluímos que, a análise do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA/90) não menciona o aspecto biológico do casal adotante, estando, desse modo, favorável para que crianças e adolescentes, dados os requisitos necessários, sejam adotadas por casais homoafetivos.

The Role of Social Media in Shaping Fertility Intentions Among Young Women in East Asian Cultures
Authors: Yang Xiran
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the influence of social media on the fertility intentions of young women in East Asian societies. It focuses on how various aspects of social media, including exposure to images of children, sharing of personal parenting experiences, and discussions around early childhood education, shape women’s thoughts and decisions about having children. The paper identifies a significant impact of social media in either encouraging or deterring young women from pursuing motherhood, highlighting the platform's role in conveying both positive and negative aspects of parenting.A key finding of the research is the dual nature of social media: while it offers a sense of community and support, it also imposes pressures and sets unrealistic standards, especially regarding motherhood and family life. The study further explores the growing influence of individualistic and feminist viewpoints within social media narratives, examining how they interact with cultural norms to affect fertility choices among young women. This research offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and healthcare providers, suggesting the need for more supportive and realistic approaches to family planning and maternal health in the context of a digitally connected world.

Prohibiting secondary presumption on the grounds of "increasing the uncertainty of the conclusion" would unreasonably restrict the free evaluation of evidence. The root cause of this issue lies in the failure to recognize that factual presumptions constitute the fundamental units of indirect proof, concurrently neglecting the repercussions of positing rationales on the categorical nature of legal presumptions.. From a typological perspective, secondary presumptions can be classified into four types: "factual presumption + factual presumption," "factual presumption + legal presumption," "legal presumption + factual presumption," and "legal presumption + legal presumption." The legitimacy of secondary presumptions in different types needs to be discussed based on the nature of internal elements. The conclusion of secondary presumptions is essentially an evidentiary fact, no different from other evidentiary facts. Judges should judge its probability, striving not to undermine the subjective status of the free evaluation of evidence.

The impact of digital financial inclusion on China's energy consumption: does economic decentralization matter?
Authors: Zhou Jiayu , Liu Zhenshuo
Published: March 2024

Based on China's provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of digital financial inclusion(DFI) on regional energy consumption(ECI) using two-way fixed effects model, panel threshold effects model and instrumental variables regression. The results show that, firstly, DFI`s development has an obvious inhibitory effect on the intensity of regional energy consumption. Meanwhile, the heterogeneity analysis finds that there are obvious regional differences, differences in the degree of financial agglomeration and differences in their own dimensions in the inhibitory effect of DFI on regional energy consumption. Specifically, the energy-saving effect of digital finance is more obvious in the western region of China, in regions with a lower degree of financial agglomeration, and the strongest inhibitory effect is the breadth of digital inclusion coverage. In addition, the threshold effect analysis shows that the energy-saving effect of DFI not only increases with DFI`s development, but also exists in a non-linear pattern of significant "marginal increment" as the degree of economic decentralization increases. To this end, China should make greater efforts to develop DFI and optimize its industrial structure; formulate differentiated development policies that take into account the resource endowment, industrial structure and technological level of each region; and improve its macroeconomic governance system by taking into account the level of DFI`s development in the region, as well as the power of financial decision-making and financial management..

Authors: Gao Ge
Published: March 2024

Port machinery manufacturing has a long history in China and plays an important role in promoting the country's economic progress. Advanced port machinery not only enhances the ability of ports to handle goods, but also effectively cuts down on logistics expenses, thus solidly supporting the country's economic pulse. Against this background, preventing and dealing with the VAT tax risks faced by the port machinery manufacturing industry and improving tax compliance of taxpayers have become key issues. In this paper, a port machinery manufacturing enterprise in the stage of product upgrading and transformation is selected as the research object, and 2020 is taken as the benchmark, focusing on the tax situation of the enterprise in 2021 and 2022. In the case study of this enterprise, this paper adopts a tax-related risk model and longitudinal data analysis within the enterprise to identify in-depth the value-added tax (VAT) and corporate income tax (CIT) risks of the port machinery manufacturing enterprise, as well as the tax-related risks of the enterprise's investment and merger and acquisition business, so as to control the enterprise's tax risks and promote the sustainable development of the enterprise.
