Collaborative Mathematics Education and the school's expectations on the learning of the visually impaired student
Authors: Landim Evanilson , Maia Lícia de Souza Leão , Sousa Wilma Pastor de Andrade
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the expectations of teachers regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in Mathematics classes, particularly those with visual impairment, in order to answer the question: what specificities in the inclusion of students with visual impairment in school are recognized by the teachers? A total of 65 mathematics teachers and 33 who taught other subjects participated in the research. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of six items. The results showed that the teachers' understanding of students with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairment, still exposes the existence of stereotypes, low expectations and, sometimes, disbelief in the potential of these students, all of which linking to scenarios of exclusion. From this perspective, instead of the student being seen from the point of view of his or her potential and skills, he or she is considered to be "all disabled". While the commitment and hope of teachers in favor of inclusion are recognized.

THE POTENTIAL OF FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES IN ENHANCING THE UTILIZATION OF MODERN CONTRACEPTIVES: A CLUSTER ANALYSIS OF VILLAGE GROUPING IN WEST SULAWESI PROVINCE
Authors: Ashari Ramadhan  , Arman Andi Nur Zamzam
Published: February 2025

Maternal and child mortality issue is a significant challenge in West Sulawesi, necessitating urgent intervention. The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) data for 2023 reveals maternal mortality at 48 and infant mortality at 359. The declining of 1.2% in modern contraceptive use to 51.14% in 2023 compared to the previous year, underscores the urgency for intervention. Meanwhile, each region exhibits distinct characteristics, conditions, and potentials to decide the right intervention for each region. The k-means algorithm in this research was used to perform regional clustering. The purpose of this study is to determine intervention strategies based on the conditions and potential of regional clusters. Cluster analysis highlights variations among clusters. Based on the analysis, clusters with unmet need below the expected target are clusters 1, 2, and 4. In determining intervention, the following aspects need to be considered specifically cluster 1 requires enhanced access to family planning services, cluster 2 needs improved dissemination of family planning information, while cluster 4 is characterized by high unmet needs and a lack of healthcare facilities, necessitates increased accessibility to family planning services and healthcare staff training. Customized strategies for each cluster are vital to optimize the utilization of resources effectively and efficiently

Published: February 2025

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality in women. Hormone therapy plays a crucial role in treatment of hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. Elacestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that has shown promise in early-phase clinical trials. This post-hoc analysis systematically evaluates elacestrant’s effectiveness in hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer patients, providing insights into its efficacy, safety, and potential advantages over existing treatments. Methods: We adhered to the PRISMA Statement 2020 guidelines and systematically searched the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science, and Embase. We conducted the post-hoc analysis using R software (V 4.3.3), applying the inverse variance method and the DerSimonian-Laird estimator to pool effect estimates with a random-effects model. We assessed heterogeneity using the Cochran’s Q test and the I2 statistic. Results: Our post-hoc analysis encompassed 3 clinical trials and a total of 835 participants. The mean age of all 835 participants across the three trials was 59.5 years (95% CI: 58.7–60.3). The pooled progression-free survival (PFS)—was estimated at 4.38 (95% CI: 7.58–16.34, P = 0.47), and the pooled objective response rate (ORR) was 7% (95% CI: 3–18%, P = 0.04), with significant heterogeneity observed among the studies. Discussion: Elacestrant shows promise for improving outcomes in hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. Future studies should include larger sample sizes, comprehensive phase II and III trials, and investigation of elacestrant in combination with other drugs or in preoperative settings.
Behind the glamour: Factors of financial performance of the French luxury leather manufacturers
Authors: Golovanova Elizaveta
Published: February 2025

French luxury brands are renowned for their resilience amid ecological and macroeconomic chal-lenges, but their suppliers often face significant disruptions. This study examines the financial performance of 31 French luxury leather manufacturers over 16 years (2006–2021), focusing on return on assets (ROA) and return on sales (ROS). A comprehensive overview of the French leather market, including statistics on the implementation of corporate sustainability practices is provided. Using panel linear regression models with fixed effects, the analysis incorporates macroeconomic, market, and ecological variables, alongside a binary variable distinguishing four Hermès manufac-turers as part of a big luxury conglomerate. The results demonstrate the overall resilience of the luxury leather sector. The findings reveal that Hermès manufacturers, operating within a big luxu-ry conglomerate, are more influenced by interest rate fluctuations, which reflects their dependence on borrowing costs. Additionally, Hermès manufacturers show lower profitability and greater vul-nerability to external factors such as drought conditions, fluctuations in meat production, and meat prices compared to other luxury firms in the sample. These results challenge the perception that large-scale luxury corporations inherently enhance resilience and efficiency within the luxury manufacturing sector. This study contributes to understanding the complex interplay between economic, market, and ecological factors in the financial performance of luxury leather manufac-turers, offering insights for stakeholders aiming to strengthen resilience and profitability in this sector.

Authors: Kumar Ankur , Khan Asim Ali , Singh Jaspreet
Published: February 2025

This research delves into the classification of cardiovascular disease (CVD) utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Before model training, extensive data preprocessing techniques were implemented, including data cleaning, feature scaling, encoding, Feature selection, handling imbalanced data, normalization, and cross-validation. After data preparation, an extensive evaluation of performance was carried out against various parameters like accuracy, precision, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), and diagnostic odd ratio (DOR). The comparison of SVM and ANN techniques indicates that the SVM has a better sensitivity in detecting positive cases while ANNs have more accuracy in the classification. This paper not only documents the use of new methods but also highlights the advantages and disadvantages of SVM and ANN models, and therefore helps to improve the use of machine learning applications in making health care decisions on CVD diagnosis.

Published: February 2025

This study examines population dynamics and employment in Indonesia, along with the challenges in formulating sustainable policies. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this research analyzes various documents from BPS, Bappenas, previous studies, and other sources that explore population and employment issues. The findings indicate that Indonesia needs to strengthen investment in vocational education, develop sustainable urbanization policies, and encourage the transition of the informal sector to the formal economy. Additionally, creating elderly-friendly cities and expanding social security are essential to improving societal well-being. The success of these policies largely depends on the synergy between the government, the private sector, and civil society in fostering inclusive development programs. This study contributes to policy recommendations for addressing population and employment challenges in Indonesia. However, its limitation lies in the general scope of data, suggesting that future research should conduct empirical studies based on regional data to assess policy effectiveness more specifically.

Lemongrass stems (Cymbopogon citratus) are natural ingredients that contain allelopathic compounds, which can disrupt the metabolic processes of pests, which can cause death. Kitchen lemongrass stems can be used as a preference, as a natural, environmentally friendly ingredient for controlling banana leafroller caterpillar pests (Erionota thrax L). This study aims to determine the effect of kitchen lemongrass stem extract on the time of death of E. thrax larvae, to obtain the best concentration and dose as well as the interaction of determining the concentration and dose of the extract on time of death, mortality, body condition and percentage of attacks by Erionata thrax L larvae. The research method used a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 2 factors with 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The 1st factor is the concentration (20%, 40%, 60% kitchen lemongrass bioinsecticide) and 1% (1% insecticide) while the second factor is the dose of 10 ml, 20 ml and 30 ml of kitchen lemongrass stem extract. The observation data was analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) at the 5% level. If there is a real influence, then proceed with the LSD (Least Significant Difference) test. This research shows that the application of lemongrass stem extract has a real influence on the time of death, larval mortality, body condition, and percentage of appetite of banana leafroller caterpillars. A concentration of 60% and a dose of 30 ml of lemongrass stem extract provided a significant interaction with the death time of Erionata thrax L larvae.
Spatial attention modulates time perception on the human torso
Authors: Celebi Bora , Cavdan Müge , Drewing Knut
Published: February 2025

Time perception is a fundamental aspect of human life, and is influenced and regulated by cognitive and sensory processes. For instance, spatial attention is found to modulate temporal judgments when resources are allocated to a specific stimulus location in vision and audition. However, it is unclear to what extent the attentional effects observed in vision and audition can be generalized to the tactile modality. Here, we study the effects of attentional cues on the time perception of tactile stimuli presented on the human torso. Across four experiments, we examined (1) the impact of visual versus tactile spatial cues, (2) the modulation of time perception by dynamic versus static tactile cues, (3) the role of spatial congruency between cue and target locations (front vs. back of the torso), and (4) the influence of cue-target intervals. Participants performed temporal bisection tasks, judging whether the vibrations following the cues were closer to short or long anchor durations. Tactile cues expanded the perceived duration of subsequent stimuli, with dynamic cues having a greater effect than static ones. While no congruency effects were observed for left and right torso locations, front-back congruency enhanced time expansion. The attentional effect peaked at a 100-ms cue-target interval. We conclude that the time-expanding effects of spatial attention extend to tactile stimuli on the human torso given that time expansion follows principles known from spatial attention.

Published: February 2025

La sarcopenia es una condición geriátrica que afecta a un porcentaje significativo de adultos mayores, caracterizada por la pérdida progresiva de masa muscular, fuerza y función física. En Ecuador, su prevalencia aumenta con la edad, afectando especialmente a mujeres mayores de 70 años. Factores como la malnutrición, el sedentarismo y las limitaciones socioeconómicas contribuyen al desarrollo de esta condición. A nivel mundial, la sarcopenia se asocia con un incremento en el riesgo de caídas, hospitalizaciones, fracturas y mortalidad. Estudios recientes han destacado que indicadores funcionales como la velocidad de marcha y la fuerza muscular son predictores clave de caídas, subrayando la necesidad de evaluaciones funcionales integrales. La etiología multifactorial de la sarcopenia incluye alteraciones en el metabolismo proteico, inflamación crónica y cambios relacionados con el envejecimiento. Estas alteraciones impactan negativamente la movilidad y el equilibrio, aumentando el riesgo de caídas. Además, condiciones como obesidad sarcopénica y comorbilidades agravan su impacto. Las estrategias para prevenir y manejar la sarcopenia incluyen ejercicio regular, una nutrición adecuada y revisiones médicas periódicas. Intervenciones multidisciplinarias y personalizadas han mostrado ser efectivas para reducir caídas y mejorar la calidad de vida.

Este estudio explora la relación entre la Ventilación Mecánica (VM) prolongada y el desarrollo de Debilidad Neuromuscular (DN) en pacientes de la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Empleando la metodología PRISMA, se realizó una revisión sistemática de estudios de PubMed y Scopus, centrándose en investigaciones de alta calidad publicadas en los últimos cinco años. Se incluyeron diez estudios, que abarcaban ensayos clínicos, análisis retrospectivos y revisiones sistemáticas, que en conjunto destacaron el impacto significativo de las duraciones prolongadas de VM, superiores a siete días, en el riesgo de DN. Los hallazgos revelaron que la VM prolongada exacerba la disfunción diafragmática y la atrofia muscular, lo que contribuye a una incidencia del 65,7% de NMW entre los sobrevivientes de la UCI. El estudio descubrió que las estrategias preventivas, en particular la movilización temprana y la optimización nutricional, reducían significativamente la incidencia de NMW y mejoraban la recuperación funcional.

El cambio climático, impulsado por las emisiones humanas, ha elevado la temperatura global en 1.1°C desde 2011, y el Panel Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC, 2023), establece la meta de limitar el aumento a 1.5°C para 2050. El IPCC promueve la cooperación internacional para acceder a recursos financieros y fomentar el desarrollo resiliente y sostenible mediante la integración de adaptación y mitigación. Los conocimientos indígenas juegan un papel crucial en la gestión sostenible y la adaptación al cambio climático, complementando la ciencia convencional. En este contexto, la investigación realizada en la Comuna Kichwa Puyupungo buscó entender las percepciones locales sobre el cambio climático relacionadas con problemas como la deforestación y la sobreexplotación de recursos. Los objetivos incluyeron analizar estas percepciones, compararlas con datos meteorológicos y evaluar las técnicas de adaptación empleadas. La metodología combina encuestas y grupos focales para recoger datos climáticos históricos y percepciones subjetivas. Los resultados indican que el 94% de los encuestados perciben cambios en la lluvia y el calor, así como en la reducción de bosques y recursos. Aunque hay conciencia sobre el cambio climático, las técnicas de adaptación son limitadas, subrayando la necesidad de estrategias que integren conocimientos tradicionales y tecnología.

O Programa Previne Brasil (PB) configurou-se como um novo modelo de financiamento da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), que foi instituído pela Portaria n° 2.979, de 12 de novembro de 2019. O PB era um sistema misto de financiamento, calculado com base em quatro componentes: captação ponderada, pagamento por desempenho, incentivo financeiro com base em critério populacional e incentivos para ações estratégicas. Os recursos financeiros provenientes desse novo financiamento da APS, eram transferidos mensalmente para os municípios e recalculados a cada quadrimestre (Brasil, 2019). Este financiamento apresentou um conjunto de sete indicadores de desempenho, conforme representados no Quadro 1. Os indicadores definidos atendem às seguintes ações estratégicas: Pré-natal, Saúde da Mulher, Saúde da Criança e Condições Crônicas. A seleção dessas áreas considerou a relevância clínica e epidemiológica das condições de saúde envolvidas no cenário da APS (Brasil, 2022a).
VIGILÂNCIA DA FLUORETAÇÃO DA ÁGUA DE ABASTECIMENTO PÚBLICO DESTINADA AO CONSUMO HUMANO NO BRASIL: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Pinto Larissa Leonarda , Ditterich Rafael Gomes , Vianna Pecharki
Published: February 2025

A manifestação clínica da cárie dentária ocorre quando há desequilíbrio nos processos de desmineralização e remineralização (“des-re”) do dente, devido à soma de ingestão de carboidratos fermentáveis e presença biofilme organizado e aderido à estrutura dentária, onde a perda mineral predomina e têm-se a formação de cavidade. O mecanismo de ação do flúor tange ambas as etapas do processo “des-re”, sendo que quando o ambiente apresenta pH ácido com subsaturação de mineral e ocorre a dissolução de hidroxiapatita (HA) que forma o dente, a presença do íon fluoreto na cavidade bucal promove a formação de novo mineral (fluorhidroxiapatita (FA)) em excesso (sobressaturação), levando à sua precipitação para os tecidos dentais, promovendo a remineralização. Uma vez que a FA passa a fazer parte da composição da estrutura de esmalte e dentina, o pH necessário para que ocorra a desmineralização é mais baixo/ácido quando comparado ao dente formado apenas por HA. Dessa forma, o flúor atua dificultando o aparecimento e a progressão das consequências clínicas da cárie (Maltz et. al, 2016; Serra; Cury, 1992). No Brasil, a adoção da medida de adição artificial de fluoreto em águas destinadas para o consumo humano, que passem por Estações de Tratamento de Água, é Lei Federal desde 1974 (Brasil, 1974). Por se tratar de um componente que pode trazer reflexos para a saúde humana, logo no ano seguinte foi publicada a primeira Portaria com a finalidade de monitorar a concentração do íon de forma que não represente risco à população que consome a água fluoretada (Brasil, 1975). Atualmente, a garantia do padrão de potabilidade da água é responsabilidade do Ministério da Saúde e legislado pela Portaria 888 de 2021 (Brasil, 2021). Seguindo as diretrizes do SUS, a vigilância da qualidade da água ocorre de forma descentralizada e subdividida em duas categorias: o controle operacional e o heterocontrole. O primeiro é representado pelo controle da concentração de flúor realizado pelas companhias de água, que são as entidades que adicionam o íon à água; já o heterocontrole é realizado por instituições não ligadas às empresas que fazem o abastecimento de água da população (Narvai, 2000), de forma que traga maior confiabilidade aos resultados apresentados. Este, geralmente, está ligado aos órgãos de vigilância ambiental dos municípios e deve seguir a Política de vigilância da Água: o Programa Nacional de Vigilância da Qualidade da Água para Consumo Humano (VIGIAGUA).
POPULATION WITH HIV/AIDS WITHOUT ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT IN THE MOST POPULOUS MUNICIPALITIES OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF CURITIBA, PARANÁ

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a condition resulting from the progression of infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV compromises the immune system, especially TCD4+ lymphocytes, making people susceptible to opportunistic infections and cancers (Bekker et al.,2023). Antiretroviral therapy (ART), when used properly, is highly effective because it suppresses the replication of HIV, improves immune function, and considerably reduces the risk of developing AIDS. In addition to the individual benefit, ART has a collective benefit because it suppresses the viral load and reduces the transmission of the HIV virus to other people (de la Mora; Mallolas; Ambrosioni, 2024; Unaids, 2023; Djawe et al., 2015). In Brazil, federal law 9.313 was enacted in 1996, which provided advances in public health policies related to HIV. This law guaranteed access to antiretroviral drugs for all people with HIV/AIDS in the country, through the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) (Brazil, 1996). As a result, there was a significant reduction in mortality due to AIDS, an increase in life expectations and an improvement in the quality of life of people with HIV (Damião et al., 2022). In addition to access to antiretroviral therapy, the Ministry of Health indicates the immediate start of treatment for those diagnosed with HIV (Brazil, 2013; Brazil, 2023). However, many individuals who received a positive diagnosis have never started the antiretroviral treatment to control the infection (Unaids, 2023; Brazil, 2023; Oladele et al., 2018). The people who are in this situation are known to be in an HIV treatment gap. Given the above, it becomes relevant to investigate the HIV treatment gap to diagnose the situation and develop strategies to combat the progression of HIV infection and its consequences for individual and collective health. The study goal was to investigate the occurrence of treatment gap in the most populous municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná, in 2023. Moreover, this research evaluated the sociodemographic and clinical profile of the population in HIV treatment gap.
PROCESSO AVALIATIVO NO CUIDADO À CRISE: INSTRUMENTO QUALITY RIGHTS

Published: February 2025

Pretende-se neste ensaio teórico refletir acerca à atenção à crise psíquica grave, sobre a perspectiva da análise conceitual do instrumento denominado Quality Rights (BRASIL, 2015), destacando caracterização das necessidades de avaliação nos processos de trabalho dos dispositivos da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial, como nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS), para compreensão das reais demandas da pessoa em crise e dos atores envolvidos no cuidado, considerando que a crise psíquica grave representa como um processo significativo, mas um desafio, de cuidado no território. Diversas pesquisas afirmam que apesar da evolução da política de saúde mental, ainda observa–se a necessidade de aprimoramento nas abordagens desenvolvidas e de um acompanhamento sistemático, considerando uma lacuna significativa em saúde mental, onde as avaliações deveriam ser singulares, contextuais, com participação e tomada de decisões coletivas dos atores envolvidos no processo, promovendo corresponsabilização no cuidado (ONOCKO-CAMPOS E FURTADO, 2006; OLIVEIRA ET AL, 2014). A “tomada de responsabilidade” é uma forma de cuidar com as situações de crise, para além da emergência sintomatológica, na qual reforça que a “responsabilidade do serviço sobre a saúde mental de toda a área territorial de referência e pressupõe um papel ativo na sua promoção”. (DELL’ACQUA, MEZZINA, 2005, p.175).

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) enfrenta desafios para sua efetivação desde sua criação (Santos, 2018; Lazarini; Sodré, 2019; Merhy et al., 2021). Um dos desafios a ser superado é o envelhecimento da população. Segundo o Ministério da Saúde e a Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein (2019), no Brasil, estima-se que a população de pessoas com 60 anos ou mais seja de 30 milhões, o que representa aproximadamente 14,0% da população total. No Paraná, a previsão é de que o ritmo de crescimento populacional desacelere, seguindo os parâmetros nacionais com uma crescente participação de pessoas idosas no contingente populacional (Paraná, 2020). A situação de saúde da população brasileira sofre importante influência da transição demográfica e epidemiológica, impulsionada pelo processo de envelhecimento da população, e acelerada pela predominância das condições crônicas (Mendes, 2011). Para enfrentamento desse desafio, no Paraná, foi proposta uma estratégia centrada na pessoa, com foco na promoção e manutenção da capacidade funcional das pessoas idosas. Isso é feito por meio da prevenção, identificação precoce e manejo da fragilidade multidimensional, tendo como processo de trabalho a Avaliação Multidimensional (Paraná, 2020). Na Avaliação Multidimensional proposta pela Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Paraná (SESA), na Linha Guia do Idoso (Paraná, 2018), é utilizado o instrumento Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico- Funcional (IVCF-20) o qual rastreia as principais dimensões consideradas preditoras de declínio funcional e/óbito, são elas: a idade, a autopercepção da saúde, as atividades de vida diária, a cognição, o humor, a mobilidade, a comunicação e a presença de comorbidades múltiplas (Moraes et al., 2012). Importante destacar que Fragilidade Multidimensional para esses autores é a redução da reserva homeostática e/ou a capacidade de adaptar indivíduo às agressões biopsicossociais e, consequente, maior vulnerabilidade ao declínio funcional. O IVCF-20 foi reconhecido como um dos quatro melhores instrumentos do mundo capazes de reconhecer a pessoa idosa frágil. Foi construído e validado no Brasil, de forma interdisciplinar, com a participação de vários profissionais da equipe geriátrico-gerontológica especializada na atenção à pessoa idosa. Contribuíram ainda agentes comunitários de saúde, auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem, enfermeiros, médicos, equipes do Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família e gestores da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Foi discutido por profissionais inseridos nas equipes das regiões Sudeste, Centro-Oeste, Norte e Sul do Brasil (Moraes et al., 2016).

Dear Readers,

Today we have sad news to share with you. We are deeply saddened by the passing of Arto Salomaa, one of the visionary founding members of our journal. Arto Salomaa, former professor of mathematics at the University of Turku, Finland, was a highly respected pioneer in the field of mathematical theory of computer science with a focus on formal languages and automata theory. Salomaa passed away peacefully on January 26 at the age of 90, surrounded by his family. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and all those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will forever be a part of our journal.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the second regular issue of 2025. In this issue, 4 papers by 13 authors from 5 countries - Brazil, Germany, India, Pakistan and Turkiye - cover a great variety of topical aspects of computer science.

Stigmella species on the Wild Service Tree, Torminalis glaberrima, confused, overlooked and found again (Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae)
Authors: van Nieukerken Erik J. , Robrecht Dieter
Published: February 2025

The rare leafmining pygmy moth Stigmella torminalis (Wood, 1890) was found in 2021 in Germany, Hessen, Volkmarsen-Hörle, for the first time in western Europe in more than a century. From 14 larvae found on Torminalis glaberrima (Gand.) Sennikov & Kurtto (= Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz), eight adults emerged the following spring. The species was found again in 2022, and also in Germany in three localities in Rheinland-Pfalz, and is recorded as new from North Macedonia and Belgium, and possibly Georgia. By a focused search on the same hostplant, leafmines of S. hahniella (Wörz, 1937) were also found again in Germany for the first time in 90 years, in Baden-Württemberg, Thüringen, as newly in Rheinland-Pfalz, France and Georgia. Both species are compared with S. mespilicola (Frey, 1856), which also feeds on this host. Stigmella mespilicola is recorded as new from Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria and Luxemburg. A key to leafmines of these species is provided. All old records of both species are reviewed, the majority of those specified as Stigmella (or Nepticula) torminalis, usually based on leafmines, being incorrect or dubious, but some old records from Hungary are shown to be correct. Stigmella torminalis has only been found on Torminalis glaberrima, with larvae only from late June to early August, and adults emerging the next spring. Records from other hosts or during the autumn are incorrect.
Sinosenecio tongziensis (Asteraceae), a new species from north Guizhou, China
Authors: Zhang Ren-Bo , Deng Tan , Liu Ying , Xie Da-Jun , Wei Ruo-Xun , He Lin , Dou Quan-Li , Qian Zheng-Min
Published: February 2025

Sinosenecio tongziensis R.B.Zhang, Tan Deng & Ying Liu (Asteraceae), a new species from Tongzi County in northern Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. It closely resembles S. changii in the subscapigerous habit, ovate-oblong and pinnately veined leaf lamina, and simple to compound terminal corymbs, yet differs markedly by the texture of leaf lamina (membranous vs. papery), the number of lateral veins (8–10 vs. 10–18), and the indumentum on the stems, leaves, and inflorescences (pubescent with 2–5 mm long, uniseriate, spreading hairs vs. sparsely white arachnoid to densely white tomentose). Phylogenetic analysis indicates that S. tongziensis is related to S. bodinieri, S. nanchuanicus, S. confervifer, and S. globiger var. adenophyllus.
Impact of occupational health and safety practices in Covid-19 on emotional exhaustion of hotel employees
Authors: Gautam Dhruba Kumar , Sthapit Arhan , Gautam Prakash Kumar
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the impact of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practices during the COVID-19 pandemic on the emotional exhaustion of employees working in the hotel sector. Further, the study analyzed the mediation effect of job risks and organizational support on the influence of OHS on emotional exhaustion.Design/Methodology: This study follows an explanatory research design based on a quantitative research approach. A proportionate survey (province-wise and at the hotel level) was conducted among the 1132 hotel employees. A parallel mediation model was used using Hayes’ Process Macro Model 4 at a 95% level of significance and 10000 bootstrapping.Findings: The research identified that hotel employees experienced high emotional exhaustion during the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by perceived job risks, while OHS significantly reduced it. The study revealed that the perceived organizational support significantly reduced emotional exhaustion and significantly increased the effect of OHS on controlling emotional exhaustion.Implication: This study encourages organizations to maintain essential and advanced safety protocols around the clock, especially during critical circumstances. It also emphasizes enhancing employee trust in the organization so that they believe in proper safety protocols and support systems to rest from emotional exhaustion. This study contributes to the JD-R theory.Originality/value: This study is unique in examining the effect of OHS practices incorporating job demand risks and perceived organization support in a parallel mediation model to examine the comprehensive impact on emotional exhaustion during a crisis. The originality of this approach is sure to pique the interest of academic researchers and OHS professionals. Furthermore, this study recommends scopes for future research, opening new avenues for exploration in this field.
Mulheres Sem Terra – construindo a resistência nas ruas, nos quintais e nas ações de solidariedade
Authors: de Freitas Lucinéia Miranda
Published: February 2025

A partir do golpe de 2016 o Brasil vivenciou uma série de retrocessos nas políticas públicas sociais, que impactou a vida das pessoas e o meio ambiente. No campo, a paralisação da reforma agrária e da demarcação dos territórios indígenas e quilombolas, ao mesmo tempo que possibilitou a regularização fundiária de grandes propriedades griladas, a exploração mineral, florestal, com consequente ampliação da violência contra os povos. Esse período foi marcado também por muita resistência, principalmente a partir das mulheres, com a construção de lutas importantes. Com a pandemia da Covid-19, a crise econômica e social se agravou juntamente com a crise sanitária e os processos de resistência das organizações e movimentos sociais tiveram de ser reinventados, nos fazendo perceber que a resistência é cotidiana, e perpassa pelas ações de cuidados praticadas pelas mulheres que vão desde o quintal a produção das marmitas. O objetivo do artigo é compreender esse processo, para isso utilizou como materiais de buscas os documentos produzidos pelo MST, no bojo da campanha Mulheres Sem Terra: Contra os vírus e as violências.
Femmes sans terre – construire la résistance dans les rues, les potagers et dans les actions de solidarité
Authors: de Freitas Lucinéia Miranda
Published: February 2025

Depuis le coup d’État de 2016, le Brésil a connu une série de reculs dans les politiques publiques sociales, qui ont eu un impact sur la vie des gens et sur l’environnement. Dans les campagnes, la réforme agraire et la démarcation des territoires indigènes et quilombolas ont été paralysées, tandis que la régularisation foncière des grandes propriétés, l’exploitation des minerais et des forêts en ont profité, et que la violence dans les campagnes a augmenté. Cette période a également été marquée par de nombreuses résistances, notamment de la part des femmes, avec la mise en place de luttes importantes. Avec la pandémie de Covid-19 et l’aggravation de la crise, les processus de résistance ont dû être réinventés. Cela nous fait prendre conscience que la résistance est quotidienne et qu’elle imprègne les actions de soins pratiquées par les femmes, du potager au panier-repas. L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre ce processus, en analysant des documents produits par le MST dans le cadre de la campagne “Femmes sans terre : contre les virus et la violence”.
A resistência feminista e agroecológica ao governo de Jair Bolsonaro
Authors: de Souza Moreira Sarah Luiza , Saori Sheyla , Siliprandi Emma
Published: February 2025

Este artigo analisa como os desmontes das políticas públicas ocorridos no governo de Jair Bolsonaro (2018-2022, Brasil) impactaram a vida das mulheres rurais; apresenta experiências locais de redes e movimentos feministas e agroecológicos que construíam estratégias de resistência durante aquele período; analisa como esses movimentos se organizaram no enfrentamento ao governo e, posteriormente, contribuindo para a reconstrução do país. Foram apresentados os casos da Rede Agroecológica de Mulheres Agricultoras e da Rede Sementes da Agroecologia, assim como as estratégias políticas da Marcha Mundial das Mulheres, do Grupo de Mulheres da Articulação Nacional de Agroecologia, e da Marcha das Margaridas. O artigo conclui que, para além do processo de resistência, essas articulações foram fundamentais para reafirmar a centralidade das mulheres rurais como sujeitos políticos na reconstrução do país, em uma perspectiva popular e feminista.
As mulheres nos sistemas agroalimentares, ação coletiva e as políticas públicas (2019 a 2022)
Authors: Butto Andrea , Eden Marielle
Published: February 2025

A contribuição das mulheres no desenvolvimento rural ganhou maior atenção no Brasil e no mundo a partir da ação coletiva dos movimentos sociais de mulheres rurais. Ao assumir protagonismo no enfrentamento das corporações transnacionais, construir alternativas populares e propor políticas públicas, conquistaram um maior reconhecimento e, a partir dos anos 2000, durante os governos populares, políticas públicas foram instituídas para efetivar seus direitos. A reação conservadora que levou ao golpe parlamentar em 2016 provocou a extinção ou desmantelamento de políticas. Só recentemente, com a retomada do governo por parte de setores de esquerda, foram reconstruídas. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre esses processos de mudança, as estratégias sociais e políticas que foram acionadas a fim de destacar as novas agendas que ingressam na pauta dos movimentos sociais e as respostas do Estado, tomando o caso do Programa de Organização Produtiva e de um estudo de caso realizado no Agreste Meridional, uma micro região do Estado de Pernambuco, nordeste do país.
