THE IMPLICATIONS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AT EUROPEAN LEVEL
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Barangă Laurențiu Paul , Țanea Elena-Ioana ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania
Published: September 2023

"In the context of the production of more than 2,5 billion tons of waste every year in the European Union, the circular economy is a matter of significant importance, debated in the European area and beyond. The transition to the circular economy involves reducing waste to the lowest level and replacing the traditional linear purchase-use-disposal economy. Thus, given the World Bank’s 2050 estimates (2018), which support an increase in annual waste production by 70% and the premise that the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals made, that the population will require the resources of three planets, moving toward a circular economy is a necessity for both the environment and society."
Como vai a poesia no livro didático? Contribuições para o letramento poético na escola básica
Authors: Portolomeos Andréa , Da Silva Gabriel Bosco Vaz
Published: September 2023

Este artigo discute o ensino de poesia no ensino fundamental, tendo como base a coleção “Se liga na língua: leitura, produção de texto e linguagem”, de Ormundo e Siniscalchi (2018) - mais especificamente o material relativo ao 6º ano - e um referencial teórico fundamentado nas contribuições da estética da recepção para novas metodologias de ensino da literatura na escola básica. Diante da necessidade da leitura de poesia em sala de aula para uma formação plena do discente, como considera a BNCC, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar em que medida o livro didático em questão contribui para práticas assertivas relativas a essa formação. Diante da expressiva quantidade de poemas no material didático, são poucas as diretrizes que de fato promovem o letramento poético, conforme orienta a Base, apesar de o livro ter sido aprovado pelo PNLD e ser adotado em muitas escolas públicas de nosso país hoje.

A diabetes mellitus tipo 2 é uma das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis mais prevalentes incidindo em alto índice de mortalidade. Objetivos: Estratificar variáveis e risco de desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em pacientes atendidos por uma Unidade Básica de Saúde. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo realizado com 324 pacientes. O questionário Findrisc foi aplicado junto a um estudo sociodemográfico. A associação entre as variáveis foi feita através da Correlação de Pearson e Regressão Múltipla Linear com probabilidade de significância de p < 0,05. Resultados: sexo feminino compôs 79,9% da amostra demonstrando um escore significativo na escala de risco para desenvolver diabetes em 10 anos. O histórico de glicemia aumentada no passado, faixa etária e índice de massa corpórea foram as associações mais prevalentes com valor de p < 0,001. Fatores como a prática de exercícios físicos, consumo de frutas, verduras, vegetais e diagnóstico ou uso de medicamentos para HAS também mostram alta correlação com o valor de p < 0,001. Conclusão: se faz necessária a implementação de medidas urgentes para contenção do avanço da doença. Fatores que inferem nos agravos dependem da modificação de estilo de vida.
Estética e ética como formação: a recusa do suicídio filosófico-pedagógico em camus
Authors: Das Chagas José Soares , Da Rocha Gabriel Kafure , Perius Oneide , Branco Judikael Castelo , Viana Divino Ribeiro
Published: September 2023

O escopo deste artigo é apresentar e discutir a imbricação implícita entre o estético e o formativo a partir da obra literária do argelino Albert Camus. Para tanto, dialogamos com os escritos e a poética do romancista e dramaturgo sobretudo os da primeira fase da sua produção relativa à década de trinta do século XX até à época do Mito de Sísifo e do Estrangeiro, na década de quarenta, período em que se põe como reflexão a absurdidade e o suicídio. Assim, dentro de um viés teórico e especulativo, pretendemos colocar a questão da formação dentro do horizonte do ethos do absurdo, que é o de recusa ao suicídio e a afirmação da individualidade e do pensamento livres.

Authors: Name Jade Alexandra Silva , Salomão Victória Maria Ramos , De Almeida Alexandre Moreira , Matuo Renata , Sousa Fabrício Garmus
Published: September 2023

This paper proposes the use of bioinformatics tools to study the frequencies of alterations found in Fanconi Anemia (FA) genes, through cell lineage, drug activity (CellMinerCDB) in 4 databases (NCI-60, CCLE-Broad-MIT, GDSC-MGH-Sanger, and CTRP-Broad-MIT) evaluating expression, copy variation and mutation, and 32 cancer samples (cBioPortal) were analyzed, following the creation of genomic networks (Cytoscape). Results indicated FA genes with high mutation frequencies and with emphasis on the increase in gene copy gain. In cancer samples, a high frequency of mutations in uterine cancer in several FA genes was observed. Through network analysis, FANCI was correlated with molecular characteristics of repair pathways nominative as candidate for molecular markers and target uterine cancer therapies. Topoisomerases, Polo-Like-Kinases (PLK3), and Histone deacetylases (HDAC's) inhibitor drugs showed a significant P value in high correlations of several FA genes owing to copy gain, the expression these genes may be an important factor for anticancer treatment.

Authors: Salomão Victória Maria Ramos , Name Jade Alexandra Silva , De Almeida Alexandre Moreira , Matuo Renata , Sousa Fabrício Garmus
Published: September 2023

A angiogênese é de enorme importância para o crescimento tumoral, pois é responsável pelo fornecimento de oxigênio e nutrientes. Nesse contexto, os genes específicos da angiogênese contribuem diretamente para a carcinogênese. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar as principais alterações moleculares nos genes da angiogênese e analisar a compatibilidade de drogas com os genes. Para isso, uma lista de genes envolvidos na angiogênese foi compilada com base em uma extensa revisão de literatura, então essa lista foi usada para uma análise in silico nas plataformas CellMinerCDB e cBioPortal. Como resultado, observou-se que entre os 27 genes listados TEK, KDR e mTOR apresentaram as maiores frequências de alterações genômicas. O TEK apresentou até 22% de alterações nas cepas disponíveis no CellMinerCDB, enquanto o KDR apresentou até 10% e o mTOR até 7% de alterações neste banco de dados. Ao considerar as amostras tumorais disponíveis no cBioPortal, até 22% de alterações para TEK, 15% para KDR e 14% para mTOR, com alterações mais prevalentes em amostras derivadas de melanoma e câncer uterino. Na análise dos dados farmacêuticos, os medicamentos que apresentaram baixa correlação com os genes destacados na pesquisa possuem mecanismo de ação inibidor do EGFR e o medicamento que indicou correlação positiva com os genes KDR e mTOR foi a Talidomida, que já possui alguns estudos focados na terapia do melanoma. O estudo demonstrou genes importantes para a carcinogênese, altamente susceptíveis ao desenvolvimento do melanoma, indicando potenciais terapias de alvos moleculares para essa neoplasia.

Authors: Corrêa Júnior Francisco Joaquim , Fernandes André Luís Teixeira , Ribeiro Diego Egídio , Tavares Tiago de Oliveira
Published: September 2023

The consumer market for specialty coffees has been growing every day in most countries, especially in the Brazilian domestic market. Post-harvest processing and preparation methods have been extremely relevant in this context. Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of coffee in the world, and one of the largest consumers of the beverage, making it necessary to develop research involving strategies to improve the quality of the coffee beverage. These researches have provided Brazil with recognition not only as a major producer but also as a supplier of good quality coffee. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory quality of the beverage of different coffee varieties submitted to controlled fermentation compared to natural drying in the yard process. The experiment was carried out in the Planalto de Araxá, in the experimental design in randomized blocks, in the factorial scheme of 8 X 3, being: 8 varieties; 3 types of fermentation (120 and 168 hours of controlled fermentation and a third, which was natural drying in the yard), all with 4 repetitions. The sensory quality of the drink was evaluated through the scores of 3 qualified referees, called Q Arabica Graders, following the SCA classification methodology. It was concluded that the inoculation of fermentation yeasts added to the sensory quality in the 8 varieties evaluated, compared with natural drying. Controlled coffee fermentation, provided that it is carried out under satisfactory environmental and technical conditions, can improve the sensory quality of coffee grown in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais.

Published: September 2023

As leveduras são essenciais em processos biotecnológicos como a produção de bioetanol. Contudo, estes microrganismos enfrentam desafios no ambiente industrial devido a fatores de estresse que podem afetar seu metabolismo. Estas leveduras possuem mecanismos de resposta complexos, incluindo a produção de compostos para autoproteção e a ativação de proteínas de choque térmico (HSPs) para manter a sua integridade celular. Neste sentido, este estudo visa averiguar algumas das proteínas de choque térmico abordando suas características estruturais e molecular, bem como analisar o perfil proteico de linhagens de Saccharomyces cerevisiae industriais sob a ação do estresse térmico. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico pertinente ao tema. Concomitante, foi realizado um pré-inoculo em meio liquido de YPD 2% e adicionados 0,10 gramas das leveduras Fleischmann®, Pedra-2, Catanduva-1 e Barra Grande-BG, e incubados a 30 °C por 10 horas a 250 rpm. A biomassa obtida foi inoculada no meio fermentativo em Erlenmeyers de 125 mL, contendo 50 mL de caldo de cana estéril na concentração de 22 ºBrix e pH 5,0, mantidos em incubação a 30ºC e 40ºC a 250rpm. Em diferentes tempos alíquotas de 1000 µL foram coletadas, adicionadas a eppendorfs e centrifugadas. Em seguida, foram adicionados 500µL do tampão TRIS HCl (pH 7) e perolas de vidro para a realização da lise celular. Alíquotas de 100µL das amostras lisadas foram adicionadas a 1000µL de água destilada e 2500µL do reagente Bradford e lidas com espectrofotômetro a 595nm. Os resultados mostraram que as proteínas se agrupam em categorias específicas, como as proteínas de choque térmico (HSPs), incluindo HSP40, HSP60, HSP70 e HSP90, e atuam em diversos compartimentos celulares. Foi observado que a variação de temperatura causou um impacto no perfil proteico das linhagens de S. cerevisiae industriais. As leveduras responderam de maneira distinta ao estresse térmico, apresentando produção máxima de proteínas após 24 horas de fermentação, exceto para a levedura Fleischmann, que apresentou menor acumulo de proteínas em 16 horas. A temperatura de 40ºC e o tempo prolongado de fermentação resultou em um perfil proteico reduzido. Esses resultados sugerem que a temperatura e o tempo prolongado de fermentação afetam os mecanismos de resposta molecular e o perfil proteico das leveduras.
VinoFlot RS Unification of Unmanned Aerial Systems and Remote Sensing Practices to Better Analyze Grapevine Health
Authors:   , White James
Published: September 2023

Success in agriculture is derived from nutrient-rich soil, well-tilled earth and hands-on attention. In order to meet the needs of increasing food demand, agricultural practices have endured a growing use of chemical and fertilization methods in order to produce higher yields. While the transition to an entirely chemical-free agricultural model is not achievable with regard to the quantity of crop yield, the integration of new technology and updated practices can lessen the amount of chemical and fertilizer adjuncts needed. The purpose of this plan is to offer a lightweight, customizable GIS solution to better understand crop health, in particular grapevines used in viticulture. This GIS plan introduces the VinoFlot Remote Sensing system, which will hereafter be referred to as VinoFlotRS. VinoFlotRS is a combination of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), specialty UAS hardware and software, GPS technologies and advanced image analysis software. With today’s advancements and size reduction in aerial remote imaging hardware combined with the versatility of unmanned aerial systems, the ability to capture rapid and even real-time crop health data is a potentially game changing technological union. The result: providing concentrated, spatially precise aerial application to only the areas that need it – effectively lessening the amount of chemicals needed for successful yields and eliminate the artifact of unnecessary overspray. Success of this plan hinges on a combination of UAS hardware and software, lightweight imaging optics, GPS and GIS technologies, including the recognition of the limitations and concerns that surround each. The scope of this plan will be limited to the Carlson Vineyards Winery in the Grand River Valley near Grand Junction, Colorado. The scenario assumes that Carlson Vineyards uses present day aerial application methods to combat the variety of disease and or pest issues surrounding wine grape crop yields.
Classification, Visualization, and Analysis of the Islamic State’s Narrative
Authors:   , Bixler Steven
Published: September 2023

The Islamic State (IS) declared the establishment of a Caliphate on June 29, 2014 in Mosul, Iraq. Since that declaration, IS has communicated a four-part narrative to the global community through Dabiq magazine, its e-publication. Each of the ten editions of Dabiq has provided insight into IS’s aspirations and reinforced its message of rejecting post-colonial structures. Critical to realizing its objective is establishing a foothold for the Caliphate through jihad (holy war), establishing legitimacy through jamaah (governance), achieving tawhid (unity), and expanding through hijrah (immigration). Each publication contains these narrative elements to document IS’s progress. Classifying, visualizing, and mapping will provide the analytical insight necessary to quantify the prioritization of IS narrative elements and identify the organization’s motivation.

Authors:   , Bowlin Esther
Published: September 2023

Internet-based map applications have become a widely implemented GIS tool, and by most estimations, will experience continued growth over the coming years. The real estate industry is particularly well positioned to capitalize on the boom of web mapping technologies as real estate is a largely spatial discipline. To fulfill the marketing objectives of a real estate appraisal firm, a web-based mapping application was developed to execute simple spatial analysis tasks. The application is capable of analysis tasks such as heat mapping and includes geolocation services as well as coordinate conversion. All processes are executed within the Google Map API and are presented on the client’s web page. The application utilizes open source technologies that are not constrained by the what-you-see-is-what-you-get model common with large GIS vendors.

There have been a number of studies conducted on the benefits of aerobic and mobility training for enhancing BMI. However, its usefulness in a virtual classroom setting has not been tested in any academic studies. The purpose of this controlled experiment is to determine whether or not different types of aerobic and mobility training lead to significant improvement in body mass index among study participants. This study has employed an experimental research design in which the students will undergo a series of aerobic and mobility training exercises for four consecutive weeks while accounting for participants’ gender and BMI. The participants for the study are one section of undergraduate students from a college in the Philippines. A survey questionnaire with two parts was utilized. For the first part, personal profiles such as gender and pre-test Body Mass Index are all included. The second part requested the participants to answer the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). After performing the series of exercises, it was found that a significant difference was observed between male and female students concerning their performance, in which male students performed better compared to their counterparts. Most importantly, a significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students. It can be concluded that the various aerobic and mobility training exercises are efficient for students in improving their BMI, even in an online learning environment. The continuous use of the following exercises is highly recommended. Finally, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are also presented.

Atendimento Educacional Especializado: articulação entre professor do AEE, da sala comum e família do aluno PAEE em duas Escolas Públicas do Munícipio de Parintins (AM)
Authors: Lima Merianne da Silva , Santos João Otacílio Libardoni dos
Published: September 2023

A educação Inclusiva é um movimento social e educacional reconhecido mundialmente, fundamenta suas bases no respeito às diferenças e na valorização da diversidade humana. O artigo objetiva conhecer como ocorre o funcionamento do Atendimento Educacional Especializado, realizado nas SRM para o atendimento dos alunos público-alvo da educação especial no município de Parintins (AM). Partindo dessas premissas, foi analisado a participação de professores, considerando duas categorias: articulação entre professor do AEE e sala comum e articulação entre professores (AEE e sala comum) com a família do aluno PAEE. Pesquisa de cunho descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa e conta com entrevista semiestruturada para os professores participantes. Nessa senda, os resultados apontam que apesar dos professores reconhecerem a importância e necessidade da parceria, a articulação acontece, mas de maneira pouco satisfatória, porém eles tentam se reajustar com os horários, há o projeto político pedagógico da escola, mas precisa ser feito um planejamento coletivo que se adeque a realidade do contexto escolar. Foi constatado também que às vezes há falta de interatividade entre professores com a família do aluno PAEE, que de alguma forma não elucida o aprendizado do aluno. Portanto, a forma como está organizado o AEE nas SRM, apresenta um trabalho que precisa ainda ser moldado para se chegar num bom desenvolvimento. Entendemos que esta garantia da efetivação dessa articulação, não perpassa apenas pelo papel docente e da família, e sim necessita de um apoio e de uma atuação mais efetiva e perspicaz de todos os atores responsáveis pela inclusão, principalmente os gestores, estabelecendo um trabalho colaborativo e articulado entre os professores e a comunidade escolar e garantindo que a inclusão realmente se consolide no sistema de ensino.

This study was carried out to assess the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions and crop production in Nigeria. Annual time series data from 1981 to 2020 were used. Data were collected from the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Bank records. Descriptive statistics, Johansen Co-integration and Vector Error Correction Model were employed to analyze the data. Using Augmented Dickey Fuller test, the result indicated that greenhouse gas and crop production were integrated of order one; this showed that the variables exhibit random walk. The result of the Johansen Co-integration test showed that the trace statistics (74.35981) was greater than the critical value at 0.05 significance level (69.81889). This implied the existence of co-integration between the variables (greenhouse gas emissions and crop production). The long run result of the VECM showed that, the coefficient of greenhouse gas (-32.416) was negative and statistically significant at 1% which indicated the existence of long run effect of greenhouse gas on crop production. The study therefore recommended that it is important to educate farmers through proper extension services on how mitigate the long-term impact of greenhouse gas emission. This could include measures such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
VERİ ZARFLAMA ANALİZİ İLE ORGANİZE SANAYİ BÖLGELERİ ETKİNLİKLERİNİN ÖLÇÜLMESİ: TR71 DÜZEY 2 BÖLGESİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: AKKAYA Levent
Published: September 2023

Organize Sanayi Bölgelerinin (OSB) üretimdeki parsel yüzdesinin düşük olması, tasarlanan teşvik sisteminin yatırımcı çekmek açısından yeterli olup olmadığı sorusunu gündeme getirmektedir. Bu kapsamda bölgesel düzeyde faal durumda olan OSB’lerin etkinliklerinin ölçülmesi; etkin olmayan OSB’lerin belirlenerek farklı mekanizmalarla desteklenmesi, etkin olmayan takipçi OSB’lere yönelik referans kümesi oluşturulması ve girdi-çıktı düzeylerini ne kadar değiştirmeleri gerektiğine yönelik bilgi sağlaması açısından önemlidir. Etkinlik ölçümünde, en fazla kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan ve doğrusal programlama temeline dayanan Veri Zarflama Analizi (VZA) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. TR71 Düzey 2 Bölgesi’ndeki OSB’lerin analizinde kullanılan değişkenlerin birbirinden çok farklı değerlere sahip olması, kendi aralarında homojen ancak diğerlerine göre heterojen yapı gösteren kümelerin belirlenmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu nedenle kümeleme analizi uygulanmış olup analizde Ward tekniği kullanılmıştır. Analize dâhil edilen sekiz OSB’den üç tanesinin (Kırıkkale Keskin, Nevşehir Islah ve Niğde Bor Deri Karma İhtisas OSB) etkin olduğu, diğer beş tanesinin ise etkin olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Çalışma 2021-2022 yıllarını kapsamakta olup kümeleme analizi SPSS 23, VZA ise DEAP 2.1 programı ile yapılmıştır.

Published: September 2023

The sustainability of social and economic development of countries and individual regions depends on various factors, one of which is the personnel potential shaping the labour market. In recent years, the number of people employed in agriculture has declined and has led to a shortage of agricultural personnel in the labour market. The aim of the research is to study the condition of human resources in agricultural enterprises under the conditions of pandemic and economic crisis and to identify ways of solving personnel problems. The object of the study is the personnel potential in agricultural enterprises in the example of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union for the period from 2016 to 2020. The methods of comparative analysis, absolute and relative values, and abstract thinking served as a methodological basis for the study. The information base of the study was statistical data from the Eurasian Economic Union, and the works of scientists. The article analyses the dynamics of the urban and rural population in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, the number of the employed population by types of economic activity, including the agricultural sector. The main task of improvement of agricultural and industrial enterprises is to provide the industry with highly qualified personnel, solve which it is necessary to pay a lot of attention to agricultural education. Currently, many school graduates do not want to work in the agricultural sector due to the fact that it is considered unclaimed, non-prestigious, and low-paid. Therefore, various measures are needed within the states to attract graduates to the agricultural sector and to retain young professionals in rural areas. The article identifies and proposes the main ways of improving the training of in-demand personnel for agricultural and industrial enterprises based on conducted research.
Free volume theory explains the unusual behavior of viscosity in a non-confluent tissue during morphogenesis

Published: September 2023

A recent experiment on zebrafish blastoderm morphogenesis showed that the viscosity (
η
) of a non-confluent embryonic tissue grows sharply until a critical cell packing fraction (
ϕ

S

). The increase in
η
up to
ϕ

S

is similar to the behavior observed in several glass forming materials, which suggests that the cell dynamics is sluggish or glass-like. Surprisingly,
η
is a constant above
ϕ

S

. To determine the mechanism of this unusual dependence of
η
on
ϕ
, we performed extensive simulations using an agent-based model of a dense non-confluent two-dimensional tissue. We show that polydispersity in the cell size, and the propensity of the cells to deform, results in the saturation of the available free area per cell beyond a critical packing fraction. Saturation in the free space not only explains the viscosity plateau above
ϕ

S

but also provides a relationship between equilibrium geometrical packing to the dramatic increase in the relaxation dynamics.

Suppressive function of regulatory T (Treg) cells is dependent on signaling of their antigen receptors triggered by cognate self, dietary or microbial antigens in the form of peptide-MHC class II complexes. However, it remains largely unknown whether distinct or shared repertoires of Treg TCR are mobilized in response to different challenges in the same tissue or the same challenge in different tissues. Here we used a fixed TCRβ chain FoxP3-GFP mouse model to analyze conventional (eCD4) and regulatory (eT
reg
) effector TCRα repertoires in response to six distinct antigenic challenges to the lung and skin. For both subsets, we observed challenge-specific clonal expansion yielding homologous TCRα clusters within and across animals and exposure sites, which were reflected in the draining lymph nodes but not systemically. Some clusters were shared across cancer challenges, suggesting response to common tumor-associated antigens. For most challenges, eCD4 and eT
reg
clonal response did not overlap, indicating the distinct origin of the two cell subsets. At the same time, we observed such overlap at the sites of certain tumor challenges. The overlaps included dominant responding TCRα motif and characteristic iNKT TCRα, suggesting the tumor-induced eCD4-eT
reg
plasticity. Our TCRα repertoire analysis also demonstrated that distinct antigenic specificities are characteristic for eT
reg
cells residing in particular lymphatic tissues, regardless of the challenge, revealing the homing-specific, antigen-specific resident Treg populations. Altogether, our study highlights both challenge-specific and tissue-specific responses of Treg cells associated with distinct clonal expansions.
Heparan sulfate promotes TRAIL-induced tumor cell apoptosis

Published: September 2023

TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) is a potent inducer of tumor cell apoptosis through TRAIL receptors. While it has been previously pursued as a potential anti-tumor therapy, the enthusiasm subsided due to unsuccessful clinical trials and the fact that many tumors are resistant to TRAIL. In this report we identified heparan sulfate (HS) as an important regulator of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. TRAIL binds HS with high affinity (
K
D
= 73 nM) and HS induces TRAIL to form higher-order oligomers. The HS-binding site of TRAIL is located at the N-terminus of soluble TRAIL, which includes three basic residues. Binding to cell surface HS plays an essential role in promoting the apoptotic activity of TRAIL in both breast cancer and myeloma cells, and this promoting effect can be blocked by heparin, which is commonly administered to cancer patients. We also quantified HS content in several lines of myeloma cells and found that the cell line showing the most resistance to TRAIL has the least expression of HS, which suggests that HS expression in tumor cells could play a role in regulating sensitivity towards TRAIL. We also discovered that death receptor 5 (DR5), TRAIL and HS can form a ternary complex and that cell surface HS plays an active role in promoting TRAIL-induced cellular internalization of DR5. Combined, our study suggests that TRAIL-HS interactions could play multiple roles in regulating the apoptotic potency of TRAIL and might be an important point of consideration when designing future TRAIL-based anti-tumor therapy.
Goal-directed vocal planning in a songbird

Published: September 2023

Songbirds’ vocal mastery is impressive, but to what extent is it a result of practice? Can they, similar to humans, plan targeted changes to their songs in a practice-free manner without intermittently singing? In adult zebra finches, we drive the pitch of a song syllable away from its stable (baseline) variant acquired from a tutor, then we withdraw reinforcement and subsequently deprive them of song experience by muting or deafening. In this deprived state, birds do not recover their baseline song. However, they revert their songs towards the target by about one standard deviation of their recent practice, provided the latter signaled a pitch mismatch with the target. Thus, targeted vocal plasticity does not require immediate sensory experience, showing that zebra finches are capable of goal-directed vocal planning.Zebra finches are capable of making target-directed changes to their songs without requiring sensory feedback.
