Authors: Machuca Henao José Yeisson , Ávila Guerrero Flor Marlen
Published: July 2022

Los Sistemas de Garantía Participativos (SGP) son una estrategia de desarrollo asociativo, emprenderismo y empoderamiento para productores rurales de todo el mundo; los SGP se basan en principios y objetivos comunes, y se ajustan a las realidades sociales, geográficas y humanas de los productores que los desarrollan. El artículo tiene como propósito identificar elementos estructurales de los SGP que contribuyen a su aplicación por parte de pequeños productores rurales en Colombia. Para ello se realizó una revisión de literatura enfocada a compilar definiciones, conceptos y evidencia sobre los SGP, luego se analizó antecedentes de dinámicas productivas a nivel de comunidades rurales, posteriormente se estudió la vinculación de los sellos y certificaciones como inherentes a los SGP, con ello se reconocieron mecanismos de interacción como fue el caso de las redes sociales y las estrategias de marketing; llegando a presentar un análisis de la situación de los SGP para el caso colombiano. Se encuentra que en Colombia los aspectos estructurales de los SGP han despertado el interés en la perspectiva de los mercados locales y modelos de certificación propia a productores, asociaciones, organizaciones no gubernamentales, centros educativos, compradores y entes gubernamentales; así mismo, la importancia del contexto como punto para la adaptación e implementación de los SGP, articulando esfuerzos hacia la calidad de vida, asociatividad, sostenibilidad y cumplimiento de promesas de valor a nivel de mercado que se interviene. Se recomienda que todos los actores interesados en la comunicación de las ventajas de los SGP trabajen en conjunto y que se evidencien los casos de éxito para impulsar la aplicabilidad de los SGP como estrategia de desarrollo para la población rural del país.

Economic justification of the application of new technologies in economic management of municipal education
Authors:   Ural State University of Economics, Rozhkov Evgeny
Published: July 2022

The possibility of legally settling the relationship between the municipality and contractors for cleaning the territory in the winter is being considered. The essence of the choice of optimal decisions by the city leadership to restore cleanliness and order on the territory of the municipality is revealed. The theoretical and methodological relevance of this work lies in the fact that the normative documents of the municipality do not approve the economic effect from the implementation of outdated normative documents in the field of economic management. The paper talks about the need to consider alternative options for snow removal in the city of Perm. To study the problem, the author applied an analytical method. It is concluded that the ongoing auctions for cleaning urban areas in the winter are not always effective and save the expenditure side of the budget. The article discusses the prospects for the implementation of melting snow in the city with the use of new technologies. To reduce the expenditure part of the budget spent on snow removal, the author proposes to consider a combined version of snow removal. The conclusions proposed by the author can be included by the administration of the city of Perm in the long-term development plan.
Truth in social knowledge: modern optics
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Mamedov Agamali
Published: July 2022

The article deals with the actual problem of the existence of truth in social knowledge, which is due to the global transformations taking place in society in all spheres of human activity. The author shows approaches to the intellectual life of a person reflecting in search of truth, in an effort to find his place in the social community. The article examines the views of sociologists on the presented problem using the method of analysis. It is noted that evolutionary epistemology is designed to denote the results of cognition, which are determined by specific human nature (peculiarities of perception and thinking abilities), the ability of a person to «integrate» into the world, simultaneously transforming it. The author shows that the construction of the world (worlds) by an individual occurs primarily in the consciousness of the individual, and with a new round of thought, the idea of truth changes. The conclusion is made that the individual, acting as the main element of the social structure, is exposed to its influence and at the same time transforms the social reality in one way or another by his activity, comprehending what is the truth, what is the purpose of the personality.

Published: July 2022

The article describes the state of affairs and prospects for research and development in the domain of active use of digitalization and computer programming in the study of the Indian intellectual tradition. The term “Digital Indology” is used this term as an analogy of the expression “Digital Humanities”. Here, it will be understood as the reception and study of philosophical and other classical texts of Ancient and Medieval India with the usage of digital technologies, mathematical statistics, contextual analysis methods alongside with the traditional well-established approaches of philosophy and the humanities. The main trends in the development of digital philosophical Indology are being outlined (viz. the formation of a unified computer database of Indian classical texts, the development of special programs that allow setting and solving new pertaining to the content, as well as historical tasks in the study of various texts of various groups, etc.) The use of mathematical statistics and the methods of contextual analysis are suggested as typical auxiliary methods while analyzing classical texts of India. We do not close our eyes to the possible hidden dangers of a possible fascination with digital methods. Our brief manifesto of Digital Philosophical Indology is to define it exclusively being tool for classical Indological research, which retain its specific philosophical objectives and goals.
Visvabandhu Tarkatīrtha’s “The Nyāya on True Cognition (pramā)”. Translated from Sanskrit and Bengali with explanatory notes
Authors: Shaw Jaysankar Lal
Published: July 2022

The following publication includes the translation of the paper “The Nyāya on True Cognition (pramā)” by late Mahāmahopādhya pandit Visvabandhu Tarkatīrtha (1916-2006), translated from Sanskrit and Bengali, supplemented with an introduction (including the short biographical note) and additional explanatory notes by J.L. Shaw. The text aims to discuss the Nyāya conception of truth ( pramātva ), which is a property of cognition. According to Gaṅgeśa, the founder of Navya-Nyāya, the truth cannot be considered as a class-essence ( jāti ) because there will be a defect called ‘ sāṅkarya ’ between truth ( pramātv a) and the class-essence perceptual apprehendedness ( sākṣātva ). Visvabandhu Tarkatīrtha has clarified the concepts of truth and true cognition in Navya-Nyāya, explaining the complex character of the partitiveness of truth and introducing the definitions of such characteristics of the object as non-pervasive ( avyāpya-vṛtti ) and pervasive ( vyāpya-vṛtti ). Moreover, he has also claimed that the property of being the qualificand ( viśeṣyakatva ) and the property of being the qualifier ( prakārakatva ) are related by the relation of mutual determiner-determined ( paraspara-nirūpya-nirūpaka ).
The Body of Shiva and the Body of a Bhakta: the Formation of a New Concept of Corporeality in Tamil Śaiva Bhakti as a Tool and Path for the Liberation of the Bhakta
Authors: Vecherina Olga P.
Published: July 2022

The author analyses the change in the Tamil Śaiva bhakti concept of corporeality showing that understanding the body of a bhakta as the main obstacle to connecting with the body of Śiva based on the attitude of rejecting one's corporeality has much in common with Buddhist and Jain ideas about the body. Therefore, the main task of the bhakta was to liberate from his body, its elimination or transformation (remelting the physical body as an impure body, as an obstacle body on the way to union with God). They solved this task in various ways, including various practices of ecstatic behaviour and self-harm. The concept of kaya siddhi put forward by Tirumūlar is the idea of a perfect body, potentially immortal and homologous to the body of Śiva. He also formulated and developed sophisticated techniques for using the physical body of a sādhaka as the primary tool for achieving liberation based on yoga techniques and working with the mind of an adept. The result achieved was presented in the description of Tirumūlar's own mystical experience. As a result, he achieved the state of the super material body of yoga-deha , the ideal of which is the manifest body of Śiva as Naṭarāja. The new iconography of Naṭarāja formed in the visionary insights of bhaktas, who described their darśans in their hymns. Then it became the basis for forming a new iconology of Naṭarāja and the cult of images of the bhaktas themselves embodied in the intensive temple construction of the Chola Empire. In combination with new ritual practices, the Tamil philosophy of Śaivism had formed as a tripartite religious and philosophical canon of Śaiva Siddhānta. This canon included the poetic canon of Śaiva bhakti (Paṉṉiru Tirumuṟai), the agamic temple ritual, and 14 philosophical treatises of Śaiva Siddhānta (Meikaṇṭar Shastras).

ISOLATION OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA FROM TEMPOYAK AND ITS ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY ON THE Escherichia coli
Authors: Mursyida Eliya , Candita Fifi , Faisal Muhammad , Marwan Deinike Wanita
Published: July 2022

Diarrhea is a potential extraordinary event that can cause death. The most common microbes that cause diarrhea in developing countries are Rotavirus and Escherichia coli. One of the treatment of diarrhea is by giving antibiotics. However, the use of antibiotics is known to disrupt the balance of normal gastrointestinal flora, thereby changing the composition of the microbiota. Probiotics can be given to balance the normal flora during or after treatment with antibiotics. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is one of the probiotics that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic microbes and is commonly found in fermented foods. This study aimed to isolate LAB from tempoyak made from kampar durian, Riau Province, Indonesia and test its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. The study was initiated by isolating LAB from tempoyak using the multilevel dilution method, followed by characterizing LAB by colony and cell morphology, and testing its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli using the agar well diffusion method. The antimicrobial activity test results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni follow-up test. The results of LAB characterization showed that four LAB isolates had different colony morphology, including spherical Gram-positive bacteria and catalase-negative bacteria. The results of the antimicrobial activity test showed that LAB1 isolates had the highest ability to inhibit Escherichia coli with an average inhibition zone diameter of 15.21 mm and the lowest inhibition zone was found in LAB 4 isolates, which was 10.80 mm. The results of the one way ANOVA test showed a significant difference between the four LAB isolates in inhibiting Escherichia coli with P value <0.05. In the Bonferroni test, there were significant differences between LAB 1 and LAB 4 isolates. It can be concluded that LAB isolated from tempoyak has the potential to be a source of probiotics.
Iosofía de las anormalías
Authors: Parra Serna Diego Fernando
Published: July 2022

¿Qué hemos normalizado en nuestra sociedad por bastante tiempo y sin importar, que en esta época de peste parece incrementarse su evidencia? Los discursos habituales y manipuladores siguen sin permitir a nuestra sociedad repensarse, la retención de un obsoleto poder enfatizado en la beligerancia, el miedo y su necesidad, encubren la acumulación de riquezas en otrora públicas y ahora particulares. Simulacros de solidaridad, patriotismos y humanidad, tienen las reiteradas características generales de revestirse de paternalismos, caridad y favores y nunca de mandatos, obligaciones y empatía. Se apela a las costumbres, y sí, estamos acostumbrados a cuanta manipulación quieran ejercer desde diferentes frentes sobre esta masa amorfa denominada electores, televidentes, usuarios, públicos, consumidores o contribuyentes tributarios. La reflexión no solo intentará que nos pensemos desde nuestra actualidad y contexto, también pretenderá abordar placenteramente algunos apartados de Antonin Artaud, Albert Camus y otras vivaces referencias desde un entramado más grato a la humanidad: el arte.
Diet in phenotypically divergent sympatric species of African weakly electric fish (genus: Campylomormyrus) – a hybrid capture/NGS metabarcoding approach
Authors: Amen Rahma , Havenstein Katja , Kirschbaum Frank , Tiedemann Ralph
Published: July 2022

Ecological speciation within the mormyrid genus Campylomormyrus resulted
in sympatric species exhibiting divergence in their feeding apparatus
and electric organ discharge (EOD). This study provides direct evidence
to support the suggested ecological speciation scenario that
Campylomormyrus radiation is caused by an adaptation to diﬀerent food
sources. We performed diet assessment of sympatric Campylomormyrus
species with markedly diﬀerent snout morphologies and EODs using hybrid
capture/NGS DNA metabarcoding of their stomach contents. Our approach
allowed for high taxonomic resolution of prey items, including benthic
invertebrates, allochthonous invertebrates, and vegetation. Comparisons
of the diet compositions using quantitative measures and diet overlap
indices revealed that all species are able to exploit multiple food
niches in their habitats, i.e. fauna at the bottom, the water surface,
and the water column. The major part of the diet is larvae of aquatic
insects, such as dipterans, coleopterans, and trichopterans, known to
occur in holes and interstitial spaces of the substrate. The results
showed that different snout morphologies and the associated divergence
in the EOD translate into different prey spectra. This suggests that the
diversification in EOD and the morphology of the feeding apparatus is
under functional adaptation.
Infiltration and soil water repellency in Theobroma cacao plantations: Stand and Seasonal effects
Authors: Farrick Kegan , Gittens Darnell
Published: July 2022

Our understanding of the hydrological processes in cocoa agroforests is
extremely limited. Most work has focused on characterising throughfall
and transpiration processes under various management approaches and
climate change scenarios. However, little is currently understood about
the soil hydrological processes which serve as a link to throughfall and
transpiration. We monitored the soil properties, soil water repellency
and hydraulic conductivity in a 5, 12 and >30 year old
cocoa plantation in the wet and dry seasons. During the wet season
repellent conditions were absent in all stands while the hydraulic
conductivity showed no significant differences among them. This suggests
that stand age has little effect on water movement during the wet
period. During the dry season, the soil at the 5 and 12 year old stands
became extremely repellent and was twice as severe as that of the
>30 year old plantation. It was expected that the extreme
repellency in the younger stands would reduce infiltration rates;
however, higher rates were recorded in the 5 and 12 year old stands.
This was likely due to the combination of a repellent soil matrix and
the presence of large, deep soil cracks which enhanced preferential
flow. As the repellency was not significantly correlated with soil
properties, we hypothesised that the high grass/sedge cover and
temperatures in the 5 and 12 year old stands enhanced it. While further
research is needed to investigate the role that grass and sedges play in
developing repellent conditions, managing their cover may prove
beneficial for the growth and survival of young cocoa trees.

Published: July 2022

A growing body of evidence suggests that invasive plants can affect the
stability of the ecosystem?s key species and influence flows and
transformations of matter and energy in ecosystems. Since Symphyotrichum
lanceolatum complex is one of the highly invasive plants in Serbia and many
European countries, this study set out to determine floristic richness,
struc?ture, and differentiations among the wet sites near linear corridors
and to investigate the significance and representation of S. lanceolatum in
degraded wet habitats. Accordingly, floristic diversity and the presence of
other invasive plants were investigated in 22 wetland habitats. Overall, a
total number of 179 plant taxa was found. Results showed four coenological
groups. According to the invasive species coverage index (D%), S.lanceolatum
dominated in all stands. Overall, based on the results, this study
strengthens the idea that wet habitats belong to the group of habitats that
are most susceptible to plant invasion.

The effects of reference pricing on housing market: Evidence from Shenzhen China
Authors: Arestis Philip , Lai Mianshan , Hou Jia
Published: July 2022

This paper investigates an unprecedented regulation measure in the housing market, reference pricing, with evidence from Shenzhen China. We use a unique panel dataset, obtained through questionnaires to real estate agents, to document the effects of the policy on the housing market. The hypotheses that trading volume and house price decrease are validated by the data, while the one that turnover time increases is not supported. We discuss potential mechanisms that may explain these effects. Meanwhile, we infer estate-level discount factors that are not public information. Based on these factors, we forecast reference prices for the subsequent year. Overall, this paper fills the gap in the field of reference pricing effects on the housing market.

Published: July 2022

Introduction/Objective. The objective was to compare rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and subtypes of SpA prevalence in four European countries. Methods. A 33-items detection questionnaire, containing self-reported diagnosis, classification criteria for RA and SpA, personal and family history, was translated using cross-cultural adaptation and validated in France, Turkey, Lithuania and Serbia, where it was used on a population sample. Suspected cases were evaluated and confirmed by a rheumatologist. Prevalence estimates were age- and sex-standardized to European standard population. Results. In total, 33,454 people older than 18 years were screened and 31,454 interviewed: France 14,671, Lithuania 6,558, Serbia 6,213, Turkey 4,012. Standardized RA prevalence varied from 0.29% (95% CI: 0.17?0.40) in France to 0.57% (0.31?0.84) in Turkey; this inequality was mostly caused by differences in women prevalence (from 0.42% in France to 1.02% in Turkey) SpA prevalence was similar in France (0.30%), Serbia (0.35%) and Turkey (0.37%), but in Lithuania it was 0.89%, which could be caused by geographic and genetic differences, as SpA prevalence was higher in North and East Europe, as well as the human leukocyte antigen B27 presence. SpA prevalence was equally presented by gender for France and Serbia. Regarding SpA subtypes, ankylosing spondylitis prevalence varied from 0.07?0.30% (Serbia?Lithuania), PsA 0.10?0.26% (France?Lithuania), reactive arthritis was 0.09?0.18% (Serbia?Lithuania). Previously nondiagnosed SpA cases were found in 6.9% in France, 25.9% in Lithuania and 31.2% in Serbia. Conclusion. East?West decreasing tendency for the female RA prevalence was noted. SpA was higher in North-Eastern Europe than in its Western and Southern part. One quarter of the SpA patients in Lithuania and one third in Serbia were not previously diagnosed. The SpA population prevalence was higher than expected and similar to RA.
Can Specular Gloss Measurements Predict the Effectiveness of Finishing/Polishing Protocols in Dental Polymers? A Systematic Review and Linear Mixed-effects Prediction Model
Authors: de Melo TP , Delgado AHS , Martins R , Lassila L , Garoushi S , Caldeira J , Azul AM , Vallittu P
Published: July 2022

Purpose

The current gold standard measure to assess polishing efficacy is surface roughness (SR) assessed in laboratory research. Specular gloss (SG) has been negatively correlated to SR, which raises the following question: Can SG be used to accurately determine the effectiveness of a finishing/polishing procedure in direct resin composites?

Methods

A systematic approach and search strategy, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, was developed and conducted in five electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE (Ovid), and SciELO/LILACS to identify laboratory studies that assessed SR and SG, simultaneously, of resin composites, without date or language restriction. Risk of bias assessment was carried out by two reviewers, independently. From the extracted quantitative data of SG/SR, regression analyses were performed, and a linear mixed-effects prediction model was derived using the nimble package in R (v4.0.3).

Results

A total of 928 potential studies were found, out of which, 13 were eligible after criterion screening. Experimental groups featured 31 resin composites of six different filler types, with the most common being microhybrids followed by nanohybrids. More than half of the studies initially reported a linear correlation between SR and SG, which ranged from r2 = 0.34–0.96. Taking into account the regression analysis and prediction model posteriorly performed, the corresponding SG threshold for 0.2 μm is estimated to be >55 GU. Most of the evidence was classified as moderate or high risk of bias.

Conclusion

SG is universally correlated to SR in polymers, and a reference value of >55 GU is proposed, above which samples are considered well polished.
Impact on surface topography of interference patterned steel and brass using an ultrashort pulsed laser source
Authors: Pongratz Ludwig , Lantzsch Tim , Schwedt Alexander
Published: July 2022

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris, the overall economic damage caused by counterfeiting worldwide is estimated at around 250 billion euros per year. In addition to the economic damage, counterfeit drugs or safety-relevant components endanger costumers. Individual forgery-proof laser marking of each product in a batch enables a digital product identification for all consumers in the future. Direct laser interference patterning, also known as laser interference structuring, can be used to apply a unique pattern matrix to surfaces, in particular, products. Each element of this matrix with diameters of an ablation spot could be provided with a defined periodic micropattern before shipment, resulting in a pattern-dependent interaction with incident light. The application on different surfaces can be realized in one process step using an automated spatial period variation under ambient conditions. In the case of two-beam interference structuring using two partial beams, line-like structures can be patterned. The spectrum of incident light, the angle of view, and the spatial periodicity in the nano- and micrometer range determine the color perception of the human eye. In this study, an ultrashort pulsed laser radiation of 10 ps and a wavelength of 532 nm are used for ablation of line-like spatial periods of 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 μm under ambient conditions. The texture quality is analyzed by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Two materials with similar densities but different thermal conductivities and thermal diffusivities, stainless steel and brass, are structured and analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy images show the influence of heat-affected zones on texture. Electron backscatter diffraction analyses characterize the influence on the microstructure in the marginal regions.
Voyage au pays de Lénine
Authors: Dogbeh Richard
Published: July 2022

En septembre 1966, le poète dahoméen Richard Dogbeh effectue un voyage en Union soviétique suite à une invitation de l’Union des Écrivains de l’URSS. Il visite Moscou et Leningrad et participe à la Conférence internationale de solidarité avec le peuple vietnamien organisée à Bakou par l’Union des Écrivains. Il s’entretient avec de grandes figures des lettres de l’Union soviétique, dont l’écrivain Constantin Simonov et le poète Evguéni Evtouchenko. Dans son carnet de Voyage au pays de Lénine, Richard Dogbeh relate ses impressions sur la vie culturelle et artistique, sociale et politique en URSS. Touché par la chaleur humaine et impressionné par les institutions culturelles et pédagogiques, il reste pourtant très critique face aux contraintes idéologiques imposes par le régime. Richard Dogbeh, qui n’était pas communiste, mais pas advantage anticommuniste, a pu voir avec lucidité en quoi le socialisme soviétique pouvait être source d’inspiration pour le développement social et culturel de l’Afrique, mais en quoi elle devait également s’en prémunir. Son récit constitue une source historique extraordinaire témoignant des préoccupations des intellectuels africains au lendemain de la décolonisation, nous permettant également de comprendre pourquoi l’URSS constituait alors une référence incontournable.

Language Learning Strategies in the 2020 National Curriculum for English
Authors: Schipor Delia , Hammershaug Vilde Smeby
Published: July 2022

The concept of language learning strategies (LLS) has a central place in the new Norwegian national curriculum for English (LK20). Current research on the new national curriculum has focused on general challenges for teachers, comparisons with the previous curriculum, intersections between LK20 and other international documents, and the value of multilingual teaching and learning. This chapter contributes to this body of research by providing an investigation of LLS in LK20. International LLS scholars mainly discuss taxonomies and skills-based classifications of LLS and signal the need for more research on strategy instruction. In Norway, ELT research reveals that teachers of English are insecure about teaching LLS explicitly in the classroom. Recent research also indicates that there appears to be a degree of uncertainty among teachers concerning the possible conceptualizations of LLS and their distinctions from other related concepts, such as teaching strategies. This chapter explores both explicit and implicit conceptualizations of LLS in LK20 by applying a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The findings indicate that, firstly, LK20 supports the teaching of a variety of LLS found in theoretical classifications and didactic literature. Secondly, LK20 indirectly presents the importance of critical literacy and multilingual skills as types of LLS which have not been explored in the LLS field so far. Finally, the indirect approach to LLS in LK20 may prompt the need to establish governmental programs to support English language teachers in their work with LLS.
“Pós-criticismo” ou atualização da teoria crítica?

Do conflito originado por tendências curriculares aliadas ao “discurso pós-moderno”, cuja hegemonia aponta para o esgotamento da teoria crítica do currículo, a presente investigação bibliográfica sustenta sua relevância científica. Assume, para tanto, o objetivo de debater e analisar a importância da retomada das teorias críticas no entorno dos estudos curriculares: assinala, desse pressuposto, a desarmonia entre tendências aliadas ao “discurso pós-moderno” e suscita, como esforço de síntese conclusivo, reflexões interessadas na crítica das teorias “pós-críticas” e híbridas do currículo (a partir das ideias de Tomaz Tadeu da Silva [1948-atual], Peter McLaren [1948-atual] e Antonio Flavio Barbosa Moreira [1945-atual]), bem como na recuperação da singularidade das reflexões críticas ao campo do currículo (sob a mira dos estudos de Michael Young [1935?-atual]).

Published: July 2022

O estudo tem por objetivo identificar e analisar a presença de Paulo Freire nos grupos de pesquisa cadastrados no Diretório de Grupos do CNPq, vinculados na área da Educação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa bibliográfica. Dezesseis grupos de pesquisa estão compondo nossa amostra. Os dados oportunizaram a compreensão a respeito da configuração dos temas de pesquisa, e, ainda, foi possível verificar quais grupos constituem redes de sociabilidade entre si. Nesse sentido, a presença de Paulo Freire é representada por dois temas centrais: formação de professores e práticas pedagógicas. Além desses temas centrais, localizamos quatro elementos que os conectam ao pensamento freiriano, a saber: epistemológico, político-pedagógico, ético e metodológico.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que analisou as práticas de escrita no uso do computador e da internet em um telecentro de uma comunidade quilombola situada ao norte de Minas Gerais/Brasil. O objetivo foi investigar como os jovens da comunidade quilombola integraram Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação ao seu cotidiano, à medida que frequentavam o curso de inclusão digital no telecentro. Adotou-se uma perspectiva interpretativa de investigação, a partir de uma abordagem etnográfica. Os dados mostraram que, embora o curso de informática possa conter em sua programação um currículo prescrito para a inclusão do aluno no ambiente digital, essa inclusão pode estar mais relacionada à forma como os usuários se organizam e se envolvem em atividades usando computadores e a internet em suas práticas cotidianas ligadas às identidades culturais particulares.

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os impactos do COVID-19 nas políticas de responsabilidade social corporativa e governança corporativa. Endossamos a Governança Corporativa pautada pela ética e pela moralidade como postura organizacional essencial que deve ser adotada para dar uma resposta efetiva às crises. O estudo tem caráter qualitativo e exploratório com o objetivo de fomentar uma discussão importante sobre o comportamento organizacional. Em relação às prescrições encontradas, podemos destacar que um passo inicial para uma solução envolveria a criação de uma comissão especial para administrar a crise. O maior obstáculo a ser superado seria a proteção de diferentes grupos sociais, onde as margens de desigualdade impactam o desfecho das crises.

Work in home office mode is already a reality for many national and international organizations. In Brazil, according to Sobratt (2018), 45% of 315 companies from different areas of the economy have already joined this work modality. As a result of the pandemic of Covid-19, companies in sectors classified as non-essential, from both spheres, public and private, were pushed to adopt remote work to continue their business activities. So, this study aims to analyze the perception of work performance in the modality of Home-Office comparing the average indexes of different generations. Findings showed that despite of Y and Z generations are theoretically composed of a profile of people with greater skills for digital technologies (Kurz, Li, Vine, 2019) which seem to be a pre-requisite for adapting to remote work (FIA, 2020)[1], on average, Z generation reached a level (2.84) of perception below the average (3.0) considered for this study. In addition, Y generation, despite being above the average (4.06), obtained a lower index when compared to X generation (4.35).

FUTURE OF GROW WITH FOOD AND WATER
Authors: Almeida Santos João , Sanches Amorim Maria Cristina
Published: July 2022

The permanent conflict between the search for food for the needs of society and the use of existing resources for production is frequently noticed because of advances in communication, statistical and surveys on the subject and the numbers of malnourished people in the world. Drought represents a major long-term challenge for land and water management, locally and globally, and hinders efforts to reduce poverty and hunger. The problems that justify this conflict are diverse. Studies point to causes for inadequate agricultural practices, such as excessive irrigation and deforestation, especially in scarce water ecosystems. Significant changes in water quantity and quality are evident across the world. These impacts and the changes present an ongoing risk to coupled human and natural systems and related ecosystem services. The climate change, increased production, population growth and increased consumption are justifications for the inappropriate use of water. Factors of urbanization, such as the construction of buildings, the need for a combustion vehicle for locomotion and transportation of goods, and the growing increase in paved streets, are other reasons for the loss of water. The forecasts for the next two decades is shortage of water and food, particularly in developing economies. Future growth with food and water depends on changes in guidance on how to use water in a variety of personal and production activities. This article proposes analyze this question, amplified with identification of waters owner and create a policy for the management of water.

The purpose of this article is to identify the factors that affect the economic stability of telecommunications enterprises in Ukraine, and study their impact on the integrated indicator in order to form an organizational and economic mechanism for managing economic stability. The study was carried out using the following methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, correlation and regression analysis. The main tendencies of Ukrainian telecommunication networks development are defined in this research. It is established that the crisis conditions in the world and national economy have led to the development of organizational and economic mechanism for managing the economic stability of telecommunications enterprises. The key structural element of this mechanism is proposed to determine the assessment of economic stability based on the use of a set of balanced indicators. Based on correlation and regression analysis, a significant dependence of the overall integrated indicator of economic stability on the subscriber component, moderate - on the component of internal business processes and staff training and development and a weak inverse dependence on the financial component. It was proved an expediency of using multicollinearity to check the tightness of the relationship between the analyzed variables in the regression model.
