Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a contribuição da agropecuária para os resultados comerciais brasileiros entre 1989 e 2022, mapear a eventual mudança de perfil nesse quesito e discutir cenários para o futuro dos fluxos comerciais agropecuários do país. Embora o conjunto de bens agropecuários tenha sido superavitário em todos os anos avaliados, de 2008 em diante o saldo não agropecuário foi, em particular, sempre negativo, de modo que os saldos comerciais positivos observados desde então somente foram possíveis devido aos superávits comerciais agropecuários. Há um rol de grupos de produtos que deve ser destacado, vale dizer: carnes e miudezas, outros itens de origem animal, café e mates, sementes e oleaginosas, preparações de carne e peixes, açúcares e confeitaria, preparações de hortícolas, preparações alimentícias, resíduos de indústrias alimentares, tabaco e manufaturados e matérias albuminoides e colas. Em termos de crescimento participativo ao longo da série, há três grupos de bens com expressivo crescimento participativo no superávit agropecuário do país ao longo dos subperíodos considerados, quais sejam: as carnes e miudezas, as sementes e oleaginosas e os açúcares e confeitarias. Foram também destacados os principais mercados e competidores das exportações agropecuárias brasileiras bem como os potenciais ofertantes para as importações brasileiras de alimentos. Ademais, ressaltaram-se fatores que exigirão contínuo monitoramento por conta de impactos que seu recrudescimento pode gerar na produção global de alimentos, isto é, o estabelecimento e/ou o aprofundamento de acordos bilaterais de comércio e investimento, a continuidade da guerra entre Rússia e Ucrânia e seus desdobramentos nos mercados mundiais de cereais e de fertilizantes, além da eventual maior incidência de pragas e doenças num ambiente de instabilidade climática crescente.
Narratives as a gateway to transitional justice
Authors: Matshaka Chenai
Published: July 2024

In many ways transitional justice is a battle of narratives. Both at the conception and implementation stages, it is contested in part by different meanings of what justice is, how harm is understood, and who the victim and perpetrator are. All these determine the trajectory the processes will take. How we reach deeper understanding about these battles and their implications is a result of our choice of research methodology. In this article, I reflect on the use of narrative as a philosophy of understanding the world, as a data source, a lens, and a method of investigation in relation to understanding the trajectory of transitional justice in Zimbabwe between 2000-2013. While the findings of the research have been presented in other outputs, this article gives insight into the research methodology. It argues that using narratives of violence as a gateway to transitional justice research is key to understanding the nuances that determine the trajectories transitional justice processes may take in any context.
Individualismo simpatético: justicia y cuidado en el liberalismo de Adam Smith
Authors: Carrasco María Alejandra
Published: July 2024

Este artículo sostiene que, a pesar de que Adam Smith no promueva explícitamente políticas propias de la teoría del cuidado, su psicología moral sí permite el desarrollo de estas, sin tener que sacrificar la prioridad de la justicia o del respeto de los derechos característicos de un orden liberal. Esto sería posible gracias a su individualismo simpatético, que procede de la identificación empática y de la búsqueda de la simpatía mutua o concordia. La identificación empática lleva a que valoremos o apreciemos al otro por sí mismo y esta valoración, que está en la base de la justicia liberal smithiana, puede también servir como un fundamento apropiado para promover políticas públicas de cuidado, en las que el bienestar del otro importe por sí mismo.
The effects of managerial gender and education on firm performance
Authors: Nguyen Liem , Vo Diem , Pham Hien , Nguyen Van , Than Yen , Le Ha
Published: July 2024

The role of women has been increasingly affirmed as gender equality has become the norm, particularly when it comes to how firms should be managed. In addition, education instills knowledge that could change managerial perspectives, thus affecting the ways they manage firms. This study uses a dataset covering 617 non-financial firms listed on the Vietnamese stock market from 2010 to 2021 to examine the impact of managerial gender and education on firm performance, measured in accounting- and market-based values. The System Generalized Method of Moments was employed to address endogeneity and other defects normally associated with panel data. The results reveal that having female chief executive officers (CEOs) positively affects firms. Additionally, a CEO’s educational background positively affects both accounting- and market-based measures. The study provides new evidence of the positive effects of female CEOs and highly educated CEOs on firm performance compared with some extant studies in Vietnam. Based on the research findings, relevant suggestions are proposed regarding the welcoming features of CEOs in managing firms in Vietnam.
Soliton Condensates for the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation: a Non-Bound State Case
Authors: Tovbis Alexander ,   University of Central Florida, USA, Wang Fudong ,   Great Bay University, P.R. China
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we study the spectral theory of soliton condensates - a special limit of soliton gases - for the focusing NLS (fNLS). In particular, we analyze the kinetic equation for the fNLS circular condensate, which represents the first example of an explicitly solvable fNLS condensate with nontrivial large scale space-time dynamics. Solution of the kinetic equation was obtained by reducing it to Whitham type equations for the endpoints of spectral arcs. We also study the rarefaction and dispersive shock waves for circular condensates, as well as calculate the corresponding average conserved quantities and the kurtosis. We want to note that one of the main objects of the spectral theory - the nonlinear dispersion relations - is introduced in the paper as some special large genus (thermodynamic) limit the Riemann bilinear identities that involve the quasimomentum and the quasienergy meromorphic differentials.
Traduire la sensibilité écologique par l’essai « Le Printemps silencieux » de Rachel Carson
Authors: Fecteau Maxime
Published: July 2024

Cet article examine la pertinence de l’essai Printemps silencieux de Rachel Carson, publié en 1962, pour l’éveil de la sensibilité écologique. Carson dénonce les conséquences des insecticides sur la biodiversité et la santé humaine. L’opposition qu’elle a soulevée est mise en lumière. L’auteur s’appuie sur les réflexions du philosophe Bruno Latour pour expliquer la difficulté à remettre en question la vision moderne de la domination de la nature par l’espèce humaine. Carson parvient à sensibiliser un large public grâce à son écriture narrative et métaphorique, notamment avec le récit d’introduction fictif intitulé « Fable pour demain ». L’article souligne l’importance de développer une capacité imaginative afin de s’éveiller aux enjeux écologiques actuels, dans un contexte où une crise de la sensibilité envers le monde vivant est manifeste. Enfin, l’expression littéraire de la connaissance scientifique se révèle un outil pertinent pour susciter une prise de conscience de la crise écologique actuelle.
Du Pays de Cocagne au pays oublié ? Dilmun / Bahreïn dans les sources cunéiformes
Authors: Dorso Louise
Published: July 2024

Dans le cadre du colloque « Bahreïn et ses voisins » organisé au Musée du Louvre le 17 novembre 2022, cette communication proposait un panorama de l’ensemble de la documentation cunéiforme mentionnant l’archipel antique de Dilmun/Tilmun ou ayant été trouvée lors des principales fouilles de l'île, celles de Qala't al-Bahreïn. Cette documentation s’étend sur quatre millénaires, de la fin du IVe au Ier millénaire avant J.-C. et se caractérise par un certain déséquilibre selon les périodes étudiées. Tout en rappelant l’importance de la documentation cunéiforme sur Dilmun aux IIIe-IIe millénaires et le contexte dans lequel elle s’inscrit, nous nous attacherons ici à comprendre le positionnement occupé par l’archipel dans les relations internationales au Ier millénaire avant J.-C., quand les mentions textuelles se font plus rares. C’est ce relatif silence des sources que nous nous proposons d’analyser, quand Dilmun paraît bien en retrait de la position occupée aux époques antérieures.

Addressing the Global Challenge of Employee Engagement in the Post-Pandemic Multigenerational Workforce
Authors: Saleem Ammara , Humayun Shazia , Awan Hadia
Published: July 2024

Businesses have learned to manage all of their personnel and operations remotely. Employee engagement is exacerbated by post-pandemic managerial challenges, such as team rearrangement, increased responsibilities, and unclear expectations. Employee engagement is the emotional dedication a worker has to their company, its employees, vision, and objectives. For all of us, this is the first time that four generations have collaborated professionally. Every generation responds to change in different ways and has distinct demands, expectations, communication preferences, and priorities. Notwithstanding these differences, all generations share a common concern for balancing their work-life. Hence, addressing the demands and issues related to work-life balance (WLB) and providing solutions to enhance the WLB experience for employees can serve as a framework for promoting age-friendliness, including a multigenerational workforce, and fostering age-inclusive cultures. Those employees who have a better work-life balance, are more engaged. Employees who maintain a positive work-life balance also work harder than their counterparts. To establish a healthy balance, employee autonomy over roles and trust in their ability to execute can be combined with opportunities for regular and healthy workplace communication, frequent engagement, and regular engagement. Employees were exposed to and had the chance to work remotely because of the pandemic. Owing to the epidemic, most employees worked a significant amount of time from home. Because of this location change, a lot of people now enjoy a work-life balance that they never realised was possible. This ultimately affects employee engagement by making it easier for them to return to their prior office routine.

The Impact of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on the Effectiveness and Quality of Municipal Service Delivery
Authors: Ramolobe Kutu , Ramaru Murendeni Praise
Published: July 2024

Municipalities are the level of government closest to the people, and their primary function is to deliver essential services to local communities. However, effectively achieving this goal requires prioritizing the interests of those communities. A key factor in improving municipal service delivery is strong collaboration with civil society organizations (CSOs). Therefore, this chapter investigates the impact of CSOs on the effectiveness and quality of municipal services. Qualitative research methodologies were used, largely through desktop research to analyse the influence of CSOs on municipal service delivery. CSOs are crucial, in improving the efficiency and quality of services provided by local governments. They engage communities to promote involvement and hold authorities accountable for their actions. Through encouraging engagement and fostering accountability measures CSOs make contributions, to upholding democratic principles and enhancing the welfare of residents.

Published: July 2024

Corruption and mismanagement pose significant challenges to effective governance and service delivery within South African municipalities. A systematic literature review was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework to address these issues, and interventions supported by empirical evidence were suggested. The results emphasised the need to address systemic obstacles, encourage community involvement, and strengthen civil society's responsibility. Capacity-building initiatives and institutional reform were also identified as indispensable instruments in the fight against corruption. Municipalities can achieve more transparent, accountable, and effective governance by addressing these issues. Policymakers and stakeholders should prioritise these interventions to restore public confidence in municipal management and promote sustainable development.

During the period 2013-2023, 917 cases of rabies among animals were registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Out of these, the number of cases in farm animals amounted to 515, in wild animals to 50 and in pets to 352. Data on rabies cases were obtained from the Committee for Veterinary Control and Supervision of Kazakhstan, as well as during expeditionary trips. This research was carried out to demonstrate the use of modern information and communication technologies, geospatial analysis technologies in particular, to identify and visualize spatio-temporal patterns of rabies emergence among different animal species in Kazakhstan. We also aimed to predict an expected number of cases next year based on time series analysis. Applying the ‘space-time cube’ technique to a time series representingcases from the three categories of animals at the district-level demonstrated a decreasing trend of incidence in most of the country over the study period. We estimated the expected number of rabies cases for 2024 using a random forest model based on the space-time cube in Arc-GIS. This type of model imposes only a few assumptions on the data and is useful when dealing with time series including complicated trends. The forecast showed that in most districts of Kazakhstan, a total of no more than one case of rabies should beexpected, with the exception of certain areas in the North and the East of the country, where the number of cases could reach three. The results of this research may be useful to the veterinary service in mapping the current epidemiological situation and in planning targeted vaccination campaigns among different categories of animals.
Using electronic health record data for chronic disease surveillance in low- and middle-income countries: the example of hypertension in rural Guatemala
Authors: Duffy Sean , Aguirre Villalobos Juan , Chavez Alejandro , Tetreault Kaitlin , Dang Do , Chen Guanhua , McGinn Valley Taryn
Published: July 2024

Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. Two-thirds of people with hypertension live in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). However, epidemiological data necessary to address the growing burden of hypertension and other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in LMICs are severely lacking. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are an emerging source of epidemiological data for LMICs, but have been underutilized for NCD monitoring. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hypertension in a rural Indigenous community in Guatemala using EHR data, describe hypertension risk factors and current treatment in this population, and demonstrate the feasibility of using EHR data for epidemiological surveillance of NCDs in LMIC. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 3646 adult clinic visits. We calculated hypertension prevalence using physician diagnosis, antihypertensive treatment, or Blood Pressure (BP) ≥140/90 mmHg. We noted antihypertensives prescribed and BP control (defined as BP<140/90 mmHg) for a total of 2496 unique patients (21% of whom were men). We constructed mixed-effects models to investigate the relationship between BP and hypertension risk factors. The estimated hypertension prevalence was 16.7%. Two-thirds of these patients had elevated BP, but were not diagnosed with or treated for hypertension. Most patients receiving treatment were prescribed monotherapy and only 31.0% of those with recognized hypertension had controlled BP. Male sex, older age, increasing weight, and history of hypertension were associated with increasing systolic BP, while history of hypertension, history of diabetes, and increasing weight were associated with increasing diastolic BP. Using EHR data, we estimated comparable hypertension prevalence and similar risk factor associations to prior studies conducted in Guatemala, which used traditional epidemiological methods. Hypertension was underrecognized and undertreated in our study population, and our study was more efficient than traditional methods and provided additional data on treatment and outcomes; insights gleaned from this analysis were essential in developing a sustainable intervention. Our experience demonstrates the feasibility and advantages of using EHR-derived data for NCD surveillance and program planning in LMICs.
It Takes a Village…

Recent research in new drug treatments for dementia such as anti-amyloid therapies have certainly piqued interest in the future possibilities for dementia pharmacotherapy. However, as with many
medicines, the drugs have side effects, are expensive, and the evidence is still evolving. Furthermore, the first principles in any disease state management are prevention and non-pharmacological management.
In this editorial, I invite you to look at dementia management based on three pillars. These, in my view, are all equally important. They are preventive and social medicine, medicine (prescribing), and
deprescribing.
The 2023 American Geriatrics Society Updated Beers Criteria® Application in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Walk-through
Authors: Syed Jehath , Chalasani Sri Harsha
Published: July 2024

The 2023 update of the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria® provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for optimizing medication use in older people. While this update is based on a rigorous review of evidence from clinical trials and research studies published
between 2017 and 2022, its application in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) may present unique challenges and considerations. LMICs often face different health care realities compared with high-income countries, such as limited access to medications, varying prescribing practices, and
resource constraints. As a result, the Beers Criteria® 2023 update, which includes the addition, deletion, and revision of medicines based on new evidence, may not be entirely applicable or feasible in these settings. This commentary aims to explore the implications of the 2023
Beers Criteria® update for LMICs, highlighting the need for context-specific adaptations and strategies to optimize medication use and improve health outcomes for older people in resource-limited settings.

Exploring Students’ Misconceptions in Learning Mathematical Proof Techniques at Debark University in Ethiopia
Authors: Belay Aschale Moges , Machaba France , Makgakga Tšhegofatšo Phuti
Published: July 2024

This article focused on “Exploring students’ misconceptions in learning mathematical proof techniques (MPT) at Debark University in Ethiopia." This research aimed to identify students’ misconceptions in learning MPT and rank MPT based on the degree of students’ misconceptions in learning MPT. Data were collected through assignments, follow-up, and structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select samples for follow-up interviews, whereas simple random sampling was used to select samples for structured interviews and assignments. The study collected data on the basis of mixed, case study, and pragmatic research approaches, designs, and paradigms from students. The results showed that the identified misconceptions of students in learning MPT were starting the proof with an inappropriate statement, using an ineffective MPT for their proof, providing incorrect symbolic representation, providing unacceptable reasons for each proof’s step, reaching the conclusion without showing necessary steps clearly and neatly, showing non-sequential steps, incorrectly using technical aspects of mathematics, using the premise and conclusion parts interchangeably, incorrect perception regarding the technical concepts of proof, and misusing the pattern in the proof of a certain statement for the proof of another statement.
The Effect of the Relationship between Principals and School Governing Bodies on Grade 12 Learner Performance
Authors: Theron Hendri
Published: July 2024

This case study explores the effect of the relationship between the principal of a secondary school within a poor community and the school governing body (SGB) on Grade 12 learner performance. The paper challenges the negative stereotype of the relationship between school principals and SGBs in lower-quintile schools. Much of the literature reports on allegations by principals that SGBs do not contribute to the improvement of schools; rather, they interfere negatively with the management thereof. This paper is couched in the collegial model. Using a single case study, the findings are based on qualitative data collected during interviews conducted with the principal and the chair of the SGB as well as observations in the classrooms and on the school grounds. The study found that there was a good relationship between the principal and the SGB chair.  The paper concludes that a harmonious relationship between the principal and the SGB allows the SGB to support the school, resulting in enhanced Grade 12 academic performance in mathematics. A harmonious relationship between the principal and SGB forms the foundation for the academic performance of learners, as the majority of the SGB is represented by parents of the school. The data collected during the research study suggests that the greater school community must ensure that the chair of the SGB and the school principal have a good relationship and that the SGB is supportive of the school in advancing its educational activities.
Correlating Educational Attainment and Single Parenting in Nigeria
Authors: Garutsa Tendayi C. , Owolabi Temitope J.
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the intricate connection between educational achievement and decisions regarding family planning, alongside the escalating prevalence of single parenting. Existing literature suggests that children raised in single-parent households, particularly those led by mothers, may develop positive attributes. However, conversely, this scenario can also give rise to negative traits, contributing to societal issues. Moreover, choices related to engaging in unprotected sex, initial pregnancies, and assuming the role of a single parent may be influenced by one's educational attainment. Nevertheless, the study acknowledges the contradictory conclusions within the literature regarding the correlation between education and single parenting for unmarried women. This necessitates a thorough examination. Employing a mixed research methodology that is non-experimental, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative techniques, the study conducted an online survey via Facebook with the Nigerian Single Parent Lounge group due to the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate that among highly educated women, education is linked to reduced fertility rates and delayed childbirth. The study identifies several contributing factors to single parenting, including heightened independence, delayed marriage, and the financial autonomy of educated women. Consequently, the paper proposes targeted family planning awareness initiatives, enhanced accessibility to contraceptives, and policy adjustments to assist women in managing their personal and professional lives. To address the complexities involved, the study recommends the introduction of programs aimed at aiding women in navigating family planning decisions in tandem with their employment. Additionally, cultural attitudes hindering highly educated women from entering into marriage should be addressed, fostering a more inclusive societal perspective.
CHRISTUS SALVATOR
Authors: Oppong-Konadu Kwame
Published: July 2024

Considering the many diverse religious traditions coexisting in the same societies across the globe, the issue of how Christianity relates to other religions has become increasingly important. Theologians have developed three main approaches that address this issue: exclusivism, inclusivism, and religious pluralism. This article offers a critical examination of these approaches using a literature study. It also delves into the truth claim about Christ’s finality and salvific role in the world, exploring its implications for Christian missions. It argues that while adhering to Christ’s finality in the religiously pluralistic world is still relevant for contemporary Christians, it is necessary to engage respectfully and sensitively when approaching missions among people of other faiths. The article advocates a P-H-D model for missions, demonstrating the significance of three missional attitudes: Perseverance, Humility, and Dialogue.

Published: July 2024

La implementación de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) ha revolucionado el sector de la educación. Desde el lanzamiento de ChatGPT por OpenAI en 2022, la IA ha mostrado un crecimiento acelerado, integrándose en numerosas aplicaciones y herramientas. Esto abre oportunidades inmensas, pero también plantea desafíos importantes. La Cumbre Mundial sobre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) identificó la falta de habilidades en Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) como un obstáculo para la conectividad universal. La educación de calidad (ODS 4) debe abordar estas brechas, promoviendo competencias técnicas y un uso responsable de la IA. Por su parte, el Parlamento Europeo ha adoptado normativas para gestionar los riesgos de la IA, subrayando tanto sus beneficios como amenazas. En el ámbito educativo, los principales desafíos incluyen la privacidad de datos, sesgos algorítmicos, brecha digital, capacitación docente y ética. Es esencial desarrollar algoritmos justos y programas de inclusión digital para evitar que estas brechas se amplíen. La capacitación docente en habilidades digitales es crucial. En este sentido, la IA, combinada con las TIC, ofrece herramientas innovadoras como plataformas de enseñanza personalizada, asistentes virtuales, analíticas de aprendizaje, realidad aumentada y virtual, y gamificación. Estas tecnologías pueden transformar la educación, pero es vital garantizar su uso responsable. La IA debe servir a la educación potenciando el aprendizaje y manteniendo los principios de equidad y ética. En última instancia, la educación debe preparar a los estudiantes para un futuro dominado por la tecnología, equilibrando el avance tecnológico con la preservación de valores humanos fundamentales.
¿Tenemos que humanizar las tecnologías del cuidado?
Authors: Piñas-Mesa Antonio
Published: July 2024

Desde hace tiempo la preocupación por la humanización de las prácticas sanitarias es creciente. Esto se refleja en el incremento de publicaciones al respecto y el desarrollo de programas de humanización que marcan unos estándares de lo que debe entenderse por un trato humanizado en el ámbito sanitario. Dado que el cuidado de la salud ha ido siempre de la mano del desarrollo de tecnologías, es frecuente utilizar la expresión “humanización de la técnica”. En este artículo queremos mostrar que tanto la medicina como la tecnología son creaciones humanas y, por tanto, no necesitan ser humanizadas. Lo que debemos humanizar son nuestras actitudes en el trato a los vulnerables y el modo como nos relacionamos con los medios tecnológicos. El buen o mal desarrollo del arte de cuidar y curar y las tecnologías vinculadas dependerá de la formación humana de los agentes de salud. Es ahí donde cobran sentido las expresiones humanización de la sanidad y humanización de las tecnologías aplicadas al cuidado.
Las personas mayores, las tecnologías y los cuidados. Avances y retos

Envejecer en casa es la elección prioritaria de las personas mayores y muy mayores, no solo como deseo sino también de facto, sobre todo en las personas sin problemas de salud o funcionales. Es la opción elegida por el 96% de las personas mayores de 65 años en España y Europa. Pero para envejecer en casa (bien) es necesario que la casa sea accesible y que exista una red de cuidado y apoyo (formal e informal) disponible cuando sea necesaria. Contar con apoyo informal es un importante factor que permite envejecer en casa, mantener la autonomía y la actividad. En España tradicionalmente los cuidados han sido suministrados por mujeres, pero los cambios demográficos y el aumento de los hogares unipersonales dificultan el acceso a los cuidados continuados.

EVALUATING GENETIC DIVERSITY IN PAKISTANI TURMERIC SELECTIONS THROUGH ANALYSIS OF CURCUMIN CONTENT, VEGETATIVE CHARACTERISTICS, AND RHIZOME YIELD TRAITS IN FAISALABAD, PAKISTAN
Turmeric (Curcuma longa), a member of the Zingiberaceae family, is a spice plant that has long been recognized for its medicinal properties. There is high genetic variation exists within the species of Curcuma longa, even though it is clonally propagated. The overall genetic diversity in Curcuma longa may be due to its population distribution in areas of diverse ecological conditions in Pakistan. Present study was performed to evaluate different turmeric selections, which were collected from five different locations viz., S1 from Institute of Horticultural Sciences (IHS), University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan, S2 and S3 from Faisalabad (Jaranwala and Kanjwani, respectively) and S4 and S5 from Kasur (Tirath and Hussain Khan Wala, respectively), Punjab, Pakistan. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design and each treatment was replicated thrice. Among the selections, selection S5 (Hussain Khan Wala) performed best for growth and yield traits, i.e. plant height (79.6 cm), number of tillers per plant (3.4), number of leaves per plant (17.7), leaf length (37.7 cm), leaf width (12.3 cm), stem diameter (16.1 mm), number of primary rhizomes per plant (6.3), number of secondary rhizomes per plant (11.1), total number of rhizomes per plant (18.4), weight of primary rhizomes (95.3 g per plant), weight of secondary rhizomes (94.3 g per plant), yield (213.1 g per plant), rhizome length (52.7 mm) and rhizome diameter (22.8 mm). However, curcumin content (0.79%), total dry matter (45.8%), moisture content (58.1%) and total soluble solids (12.0 oBrix) were highest in selections S2 (Jaranwala), S4 (Tirath), S1 (IHS, UAF) and S2 (Jaranwala), respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that turmeric selection S5 (Hussain Khan Wala) may be cultivated for higher yield, while S2 selection (Jaranwala) is for highest curcumin production.

The remote sensing techniques have been used several years ago in many geological studies, and have proved their utility especially in lineament extraction. During this research, we extracted the lineaments automatically as well as manually in the Igoudrane region, Imiter inlier, eastern Anti-Atlas. The purpose of this research is to extract and map lineaments in the study area, and then compare the results provided, where the VNIR bands of Sentinel-2B, Sentinel-1A and the ALOS PALSAR DEM (12.5 m) were used. The directional filters were applied to the VNIR bands of Sentinel-2B into six directions, in the interest of attaining a significant lineament contrast. The VH and VV radar data provided the greatest number of lineaments (7243) by LINE module algorithm, while the shaded relief and slope were applied to the ALOS PALSAR DEM, which gave a higher number of lineaments than the VNIR bands of Sentinel-2B (4699, 4647 respectively). The manual extraction on the VV and VH polarizations yielded 441 lineaments, while the VNIR bands of Sentinel-2B provided 453 lineaments. Furthermore, the main orientations of the lineaments are NE-SW, ENE-WSW and NNE-SSW. The lineaments extracted from the VNIR bands (Sentinel-2B) and ALOS PALSAR’s DEM exhibited an optimal match along with the fractures digitized manually and from the geological maps of the research area. The results revealed that Sentinel-1 data is less efficient than ALOS PALSAR DEM data, especially in arid regions where the capacity of DEM radar waves to penetrate rises for thinner sedimentary layers, offering deeper information.

Cirurgia palatal farpada: cenário único ou multinível - uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Freitas Júnior Samarone de , Borges Sarah Coelho , Peternelli Mariana de Oliveira , Oliveira Ana Luiza Santos , Almeida Karin de
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A grande maioria das fissuras que envolvem a anatomia do palato e lábios são de origem congênita. Entre as malformações craniofaciais, sabe-se que as fissuras que envolvem lábio e palato são as mais comuns e são observadas em um a cada 650 recém-nascidos. Esse cenário se dá durante a formação embriológica, em que ocorrem anormalidades dos mecanismos que deveriam formar as estruturas que envolvem lábio e palato. Objetivo: Examinar de forma meticulosa e imparcial os estudos relevantes sobre cirurgia palatal farpada, visando fornecer uma síntese compreensiva acerca das abordagens existentes, seja em cenário único ou multinível. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Visando a elaboração deste artigo de revisão, foram consultados artigos originais, relatos de caso e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre janeiro de 2008 e junho de 2024, nas línguas inglesa e portuguesa. Resultados e discussão: Na escolha da abordagem cirúrgica, devem ser considerados tanto o quadro clínico e prognóstico associado a cada paciente, quanto a exequibilidade cirúrgica de cada caso. As diversas técnicas têm como finalidade a melhoria da fala, o fechamento completo da fissura, e permitir ao paciente o completo desenvolvimento de todas as estruturas que envolvem a anatomia da face. Para isso, tanto a técnica multinível, quanto técnicas consideradas como operações simplificadas podem ser utilizadas e trazem bom prognóstico ao paciente. Considerações finais: Nesse ínterim, considerando-se a individualidade de cada caso, somada a experiência do cirurgião, tanto técnica multinível quanto à abordagem única possuem bons resultados apontados na literatura médica. Por outro lado, para exequibilidade do tratamento, sabe-se que as técnicas de Furlow e Bardach demonstraram melhores resultados.
