Authors: Лютий Ігор , Затонацька Тетяна , Коваленко Володимир , Рибак Сергій
Published: October 2024

В умовах обмеженості бюджетних ресурсів об’єднані територіальні громади України змушені шукати додаткові джерела фінансування відновлення та розвитку. Проведені реформи децентралізації дозволяють залучати для фінансування приватні кошти з використанням широкого діапазону фінансових інструментів. Метою дослідження є оцінка різних механізмів фінансування розвитку територіальних громад, що передбачає аналіз світового досвіду організації механізму фінансування, порівняльний аналіз різних інструментів фінансування розвитку й СВОТ-аналіз використання зелених облігацій для фінансування відновлення ОТГ в Україні. На основі проведеного аналізу було встановлено, що доступні джерела та інструменти фінансування розвитку територіальних громад визначає фінансовий механізм, який сформувався в місцевому бюджеті. Світовий досвід показав, що існує чотири основні системи організації місцевих бюджетів, які формуються на основі шести груп чинників. Залежно від організації національної бюджетної системи місцеві уряди можуть мати значну фінансову автономію, яка дозволяє диверсифікувати джерела фінансування (ринково орієнтована система), або повністю залежати від державного бюджету при фінансуванні інвестиційних проєктів (система прямого контролю). В умовах децентралізації ОТГ в Україні можуть використовувати широкий спектр фінансових інструментів для залучення коштів на відновлення. Зокрема, це можуть бути власні кошти від бюджетних надходжень, грантові кошти, державно-приватні партнерства та боргові кошти. Муніципальні облігації є найбільш універсальним інструментом залучення боргових коштів. Відповідно до проведеного нами СВОТ-аналізу можливості використання зелених облігацій для фінансування відновлення ОТГ в Україні, було отримано висновок, що такі облігації наразі є більш ефективним інструментом, оскільки дозволяють залучити ширше коло інвесторів, які зацікавлені не лише в доходності фінансового інструменту, але й готові інвестувати в менш прибуткові облігації, які спрямовані на фінансування зелених проєктів.
GLOBAL JUSTICE AND THE 2030 AGENDA. AN INSTRUMENT FOR TACKLING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Freitas Junior Luciano Mamede de , CHAI CÁSSIUS , CARNEIRO MONICA
Published: October 2024

Public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, challenge public policies to prove themselves effective and efficient in guaranteeing social rights. The UN’s 2030 Agenda reflects the commitment made by member states to promote prosperity and the well-being of populations in a sustainable manner throughout the world. Specifically in health, SDG 3 - health and well-being - is presented as an instrument for the action of justice systems and political systems as a guarantee of global justice. As a general objective, we set out to discuss how the instruments of international justice aligned with the 2030 agenda act from the perspective of combating the Covid-19 pandemic in the light of John Rawls’ theory, where the intense inequalities in health between societies are often the starting point for moral problems and other inequalities posed to society, conflicting with the guidelines of the 2030 agenda. The methodology used is socio-legal-critical, of a prominently comprehensive nature employing bibliographical research, focusing on the analysis of the confrontation with the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as on the performance of justice systems in articulation with political systems, addressing not only the politics of recognition translated into global justice but also a discussion on thinking about both instruments for global justice aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the perspectives of justice systems in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. Justice systems act as a mechanism for resolving disputes, guided by a global pact, and are fundamental to society, organizations, and even the state. It was found that the implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires effective partnerships between governments, civil society, the private sector, and other actors whose justice systems can play a facilitating role in promoting these partnerships, providing a stable and predictable legal environment for investments and sustainable development initiatives, as was necessary in the pandemic.

Authors: Sá Emerson Victor Hugo Costa de , Chaves Valena Jacob , Silva Caio Henrique Faustino da
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic intensifies political, economic, and social problems that require adaptations in the most diverse segments to guarantee human rights protective regulation and ensure the legal rules applicability. Consequently, work conditions are especially affected by labor market changes, perceived through life precariousness, and accentuated inequalities, situations that facilitate abuses and increase necessity for state intervention. Labor precariousness is even more pronounced in the period of rising unemployment and decreased income, a situation that has been mitigated but not surpassed by an emergency aid granting policy limited benefits to lower levels and more limited scope than those observed in developed countries. In effect, the unemployment rate varied from 10.5% in the period from 03 to 05/05/2020 to 14.4% in the week from 20 to 26/09/2020, according to the most recent data from PNAD-COVID released by IBGE1. This means an increase of 37.14% in the underutilization workforce rate.
Effects of different surface finishing procedures and staining solution applications on lightness, chroma and hue of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramics
Authors: Korkmaz Cumhur
Published: October 2024

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in lightness (ΔL), chroma (ΔC), and hue (ΔH) of zirconia-reinforced glass ceramic (ZLS) samples of various thicknesses, which underwent different surface finishing procedures, after aging and staining solutions.
Methodology: Sixty samples of ZLS blocks were produced in two different thicknesses (12x14x1 mm, n=30; 12x14x1.5 mm, n=30), and different surface treatments were applied to them (mechanical polishing or glaze; n=15). After polishing and glazing, all samples were cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner for 10 minutes. Color measurements were taken using a spectrophotometer before and after autoclave aging and immersion in staining solutions (tea, coffee, and coke), and color values were calculated using the CIEDE2000 formula. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Shapiro, three-way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD tests were used for statistical evaluation.
Results: The common effects of surface finishing treatment, staining solution, and thickness interaction on ∆L and ∆C values were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05), while the common effect on ∆H values was not found to be significant (p>0.05). The ∆L and ∆H values (5.06 ± 1.60 and 2.95 ± 0.61, respectively) were the highest in the groups with 1 mm thickness, mechanical polishing, and immersion in tea solution. The highest ∆C value (4.21 ± 0.35) was noted for the group with 1 mm thickness, mechanical polishing, and immersion in cola solution.
Conclusion: Differences in material thickness and the staining solution affected the lightness, hue, and chroma of the ZLS samples. The difference in the surface finishing procedure affected the hue and chroma but not the lightness.

Published: October 2024

A contabilidade rural é fundamental para a gestão financeira e o desenvolvimento sustentável das atividades agrícolas, especialmente na legalização dos pequenos produtores rurais. A aplicação dos princípios contábeis oferece um diferencial significativo, permitindo o controle do patrimônio, a apuração de resultados e o monitoramento do desempenho econômico-financeiro. Dalmolin e Silvério (2011) destacam que a contabilidade serve como proteção contra os riscos enfrentados pelos produtores, garantindo segurança nas decisões. Este artigo tem como objetivo geral investigar a aplicação da contabilidade rural como ferramenta estratégica na jornada de legalização do pequeno produtor rural, analisando suas práticas contábeis, o impacto na conformidade legal e as contribuições para o desenvolvimento sustentável das comunidades rurais, com foco no município de Palmas, Tocantins. A pesquisa se propõe a caracterizar os procedimentos legais exigidos para a legalização das atividades agrícolas dos pequenos produtores de horticultura em Palmas/TO, descrever as experiências e percepções de alguns pequenos produtores em relação aos serviços de consultoria jurídica e contábil disponíveis e traçar um perfil das práticas contábeis atualmente adotadas pelos pequenos produtores. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, adota um procedimento descritivo e explicativo, utilizando levantamento bibliográfico para fundamentar os resultados. Além disso, ao dialogar com produtores de horticultura em Palmas-TO, observou-se que, embora estejam aderindo bem às práticas contábeis, a formação desses empreendedores é precária e eles dependem de políticas públicas para obter auxílio. O trabalho ressalta aspectos técnicos, jurídicos e econômico-financeiros que permeiam a gestão administrativa desses produtores, sublinhando a necessidade de suporte para superar os desafios da legalização.

In this work, the authors represent a comprehensive approach for the development and validation of a novel graphite-supported molecularly imprinted poly(methyl methacrylate) electrode for the selective and sensitive detection of aloe emodin (AE) in aloe-based cosmetic products. The electrocatalytic activity of the electrode was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques in phosphate buffer saline. Surface morphology, structural characteristics, and imprinting endorsement were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Under the optimal conditions, the electrode showed an oxidative differential pulse voltammetry peak at -0.2931±0.011 V (vs. Ag/AgCl, saturated KCl). The current was increased linearly with increasing concentrations of AE from 0.0005 to 350 µM, with a low detection limit of 0.0003 µM. The voltammetric analysis has been validated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) methods. A partial least square regression model was developed to correlate the results obtained from the proposed system with the reference values obtained by RP-HPLC. The model showed a high prediction accuracy of 95.95 % for the detection of AE in cosmetic samples. The developed electrode provides a low-cost, rapid, easy, and convenient method for the detection of AE in cosmetic products, offering potential benefits for quality control and safety assessment in the cosmetic industry.

A Síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos (SED) é um grupo heterogêneo de desordens hereditárias do tecido conjuntivo, caracterizado por hipermobilidade articular, hiperextensibilidade da pele e fragilidade tecidual. Sua variabilidade clínica torna o diagnóstico desafiador, com muitos pacientes apresentando sintomas inespecíficos, como dor crônica e fadiga, levando a diagnósticos errôneos ou atrasados. Este artigo revisa os principais desafios no diagnóstico e manejo multidisciplinar da SED, destacando a importância de uma abordagem integrada e precoce. A metodologia incluiu uma revisão abrangente da literatura atual sobre a SED, focando nos avanços genéticos e nas diretrizes clínicas para diagnóstico, além das estratégias de manejo terapêutico que envolvem múltiplas especialidades. Foram analisados estudos sobre o uso de testes genéticos, critérios clínicos e a importância do manejo da dor e do suporte psicológico, particularmente em pacientes com complicações graves, como os portadores da SED vascular. Na discussão, observa-se que o diagnóstico da SED é frequentemente complicado pela sua apresentação variável. Ferramentas genéticas, como o sequenciamento de nova geração (NGS), têm desempenhado um papel crucial na identificação dos subtipos, mas o acesso limitado a esses testes ainda é uma barreira significativa. Além disso, o manejo da SED exige uma abordagem multidisciplinar que integre fisioterapia especializada, controle da dor e suporte psicológico. A fisioterapia deve ser adaptada à fragilidade tecidual característica da síndrome, enquanto o manejo da dor crônica requer intervenções combinadas. O acompanhamento preventivo para complicações vasculares nos pacientes com SED vascular é essencial para reduzir a mortalidade. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico precoce e preciso da SED é fundamental para otimizar o manejo e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A utilização de testes genéticos, juntamente com uma abordagem multidisciplinar, incluindo fisioterapia, controle da dor e suporte psicológico, é essencial para lidar com a complexidade da síndrome. Além disso, a conscientização entre os profissionais de saúde e a criação de diretrizes de manejo são necessários para melhorar os desfechos clínicos.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Through the establishment of public policies focused on social security and humanization, health practices gain strength, giving rise to the National Humanization Policy (PNH). The space destined for health care ceases to be just the place to be treated, to the place where care will be provided in a more comprehensive way, where the ambiance reveals itself as an intrinsic factor in the health-disease process, requiring attention regarding hospital architecture. Objective: To analyze the parameters and strategies of the ambiance, as a device for the humanization of spaces and relationships, established by the National Humanization Policy contemplated in hospital environments. Method: This is an integrative review whose proposal was to carry out a bibliographic mapping using descriptors inserted in the DECS Mesh. Results and Discussion: The 22 related studies presented evidence of the importance of humanizing hospital environments and how the PNH, from the perspective of the ambiance, was implemented and implemented in Brazilian hospital environments. Pointing out the significant interference of the ambiance and its reliability in the comfort and recovery of hospitalized patients. Conclusion: It can be seen that the advances in hospital infrastructure linked to the PNH are few, compared to the years of its implementation, evidencing flaws and deficiencies in the process of evolution of architecture to the health-disease process.
Preserving Female Agency in the Gaze: An Analysis of The Silence of the Lambs
Authors: Chen Qile
Published: October 2024

Laura Mulvey’s essay, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” published in 1975, has become a foundational text in cinema and feminist criticism. Mulvey introduces the concept of the “male gaze,” arguing that traditional Hollywood cinema is constructed from a patriarchal perspective that objectifies women. This camera gaze influences the portrayal of female characters and affects how audiences engage with narratives. Mulvey employs concepts from psychoanalysis, particularly from Freud and Lacan, to explain how films generate visual pleasure through identification and desire. She discusses how viewers, especially male viewers, derive pleasure from the visual representation of women, reinforcing patriarchal structures within narrative cinema.

Published: October 2024

Poland’s renewable energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation as the country strives to reduce its reliance on coal and align with European Union (EU) climate targets. However, this transition faces several challenges, including regulatory instability, financial constraints, and outdated infrastructure. PPPs have emerged as a vital mechanism for overcoming these barriers, offering a collaborative approach that blends public financial support with private sector expertise and innovation. This paper explores the critical role of PPPs in addressing Poland’s renewable energy challenges, such as financing large-scale projects, stabilizing regulatory frameworks, and modernizing the energy grid. It also examines the opportunities for growth in offshore wind, solar energy, and green hydrogen production, highlighting how PPPs can help Poland capitalize on these emerging sectors. Through effective collaboration between the public and private sectors, Poland is poised to accelerate its clean energy transition and position itself as a leader in renewable energy development within Central and Eastern Europe.
A POLYCENTRIC APPROACH TO THE GREEN ENERGY TRANSITION IN BULGARIA
Authors:   PhD, Chief Assistant Professor at the Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sabev Dimitar
Published: October 2024

Ostrom’s polycentric model for the governance of social systems has been gaining popularity as an alternative approach to the low-carbon energy transition in recent years. This article considers its potential application to three issues in Bulgaria’s green energy transition: finding substitutes for coal-based electricity production in the Maritsa-East lignite complex, providing new employment opportunities for workers affected by the transition, and understanding the broader social impacts of moving away from the traditional hierarchic model in the energy sector. It is important to note that while polycentric organizing is intended to support low-carbon solutions, it could also serve the interests of coal energy actors, who may prioritize short-term gains over the long-term public interest. Overcoming inertia is a major challenge for adopting the polycentric principle as part of Bulgaria’s industrial policy, particularly in implementing decentralized low-carbon energy solutions.
BRIDGING THE DIGITAL GAP: ANALYSING THE IMPACT OF ICT DIFFUSION ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN INDONESIA
Authors:   Alumnus of the Department of Economics at Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa, Indonesia, Kustanto Andi
Published: October 2024

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly transformed the socio-economic structure of society, particularly in terms of income distribution. This study aims to analyse the impact of ICT development on income inequality across 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2012 to 2020, employing econometric methods based on panel data through a fixed effects model. Empirical findings reveal that ICT readiness and ICT skills tend to exacerbate income inequality, while ICT use and its quadratic form contribute to reducing it. These results suggest that although ICT infrastructure and skills are crucial, their uneven distribution and utilisation can widen income disparities. Consequently, this study highlights the importance of ensuring equitable access to ICT across Indonesia to mitigate economic inequality. The study's recommendations stress the pivotal role of the government in expanding ICT infrastructure, fostering a research and innovation climate conducive to digital transformation, and formulating policies that enhance ICT skills nationwide. These measures would improve digital literacy, upgrade workforce capabilities, and promote inclusive digital economic growth. Ultimately, comprehensive and equitable ICT development can play a critical role in reducing income inequality across Indonesia.

Published: October 2024

Context: The dysregulation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway has been associated with diabetes and its complications. Cinnamaldehyde (CA) can potentially inhibit diabetes complications through its pleiotropic effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptosis. However, whether these effects are related to PI3K/AKT pathway modulation is unknown. Aims: To evaluate the interaction of cinnamaldehyde with proteins involved in the PI3K/AKT pathway. Methods: This study involved pharmacokinetic analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. The ligand used was cinnamaldehyde, and the proteins were eight crystal structures of proteins related to the PI3K/AKT pathway. For comparison purposes, we selected compound UCL-TRO-1938 (PI3K activator), baicalin (AKT activator), and bisperoxovanadium (PTEN inhibitor) as control ligands. Results: The results of this study indicated that CA has the potential to be an oral-drug candidate as it fulfills all Lipinski criteria and shows good cell membrane permeability. Molecular docking showed that CA exhibited good binding affinities toward target proteins. CA showed stronger binding affinity to the p110α subunit of PI3K (-6.4 vs. -6.3 kcal/mol) and PTEN (-5.8 vs. -5.0 kcal/mol) compared to the control ligand. CA also interacts with similar amino acid residues compared to control ligands. A molecular dynamic study revealed that CA and control ligands-protein complexes have similar stability with few conformational alterations in several amino acid residues. Conclusions: CA has the potential to be a drug candidate to ameliorate diabetes complications by up-regulating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Further experimental study is required to ascertain its efficacy.

Context: There are multiple methodologies for educating patients with diabetes, but they are carried out heterogeneously and intermittently with variable results, which do not always maintain the motivation and interest of the participants. Aims: To evaluate the clinical and humanistic impact of a strategy aimed at the metabolic control of outpatients with diabetes mellitus through process and outcome indicators. Methods: A strategy for the metabolic control of 53 outpatients with type 1 and 2 diabetes was implemented between September 2020 and November 2021 in the services of a Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Care Polyclinic. The strategy was based on the educational needs of the patients, the use of the theoretical model of personal development and social skills, the transtheoretical model of behavior change, and the design of educational interventions with participatory methods and techniques. Rubrics were used to assess the attitude and behavior of patients during the interventions. Metabolic control variables were measured before and after 14 months. Results: The strategy had a clinical impact of 89.2% after 14 months. 90.6% of patients achieved positive attitudinal and behavioral change, 94.3% had a high level of knowledge, 90.6% were adherent, 81.1% achieved metabolic control, and 96.2% showed satisfaction with the interventions provided. Conclusions: The implemented strategy based on behavioral models and behavioral change constitutes an effective method for patient metabolic control. The process and outcome indicators used to measure impact are effective tools for the continuous improvement of this type of strategy and constitute an innovative method of quality.

Os “personagens de fronteira” são os objetos empíricos que contribuem como fonte de informações: as respostas desses jovens brasileiros estudantes de medicina em Santo Tomé/AR, servem de referência para a reflexão de aspectos de sua cotidianidade intercultural. A problemática norteadora desta articulação está em observar como se estabelece as relações de uso - destes personagens, com os meios tradicionais de comunicação, bem como com as novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação. A metodologia tem como referência a perspectiva etnográfica de inserção no campo de pesquisa, apropriando-se de ferramentas como as entrevistas em profundidade, observações e diário de campo. Nesse sentido, algumas interações vêm sendo desenvolvidas, ou seja, o objetivo é realizar esse movimento de aproximação e entrevista individual com um total de doze personagens de fronteira ao final da tese em 2026. Porém, o trabalho de mapeamento e realização de contatos iniciou-se em 2024, permitindo, assim, o acesso a três personagens voluntários. Portanto, é o resultado dessas iniciativas que temos a intenção de relatar aqui neste artigo, vislumbrando alguns apontamentos e possibilidades.

Every company always needs inventory, without having inventory, entrepreneurs will be faced with risks such as one time not being able to fulfill their customers' desires. This can happen, because goods are not always available at all times, which means entrepreneurs will lose the opportunity to gain the profits they should get. Therefore, the company must have an inventory management strategy in which the company must ensure that it is able to provide supplies with quality, quantity and time.  Therefore CV. Age Groub must pay attention to storage capacity in order to meet demand for supplies of goods, and more attention must be paid to inventory management so that it remains well organized. By using the Just In Time approach. This research aims to optimize the efficient use of warehouse space to store goods with maximum capacity. The results using the Just In Time system approach are more efficient in calculating total inventory costs for the CV age group. The results obtained from analysis using the Just In Time method vary because they are based on various aspects. The greatest savings value is in the aspect of minimum inventory capacity from normal inventory with 66 deliveries which can save approximately 87% of the company's total costs, while from inventory which is added assuming damage, loss and defects of 5% with 73 deliveries can be achieved. save costs by 88%.

Se evaluó el hidrochar obtenido a partir de Residuos Sólidos Cítricos (RSC) como mejorador de propiedades fisicoquímicas en suelos degradados. Los RSC conformados por Residuos Sólidos de Naranja (RSN) y Residuos Sólidos de Limón (RSL) se sometieron a carbonización hidrotermal (CHT). Se realizaron siembras con rábano rojo agregando hidrochar y suelo degradado en relaciones: 1:100, 3:100, 6:100 y 12:100, con suelo fértil (testigo) y con suelo degradado (blanco). Las plantas de rábano rojo crecieron utilizando las relaciones: 1:100-RSN, 3:100-RSN, 6:100-RSN, 1:100-RSL y testigo. El pH fue un parámetro importante, ya que el hidrochar aportó alcalinidad al suelo, encontrándose que la relación 12:100 de RSN y RSL quedó fuera del rango que tolera el cultivo (5.5 a 6.8) y no logró germinación. Las plantas 3:100 y 6:100 de RSL se marchitaron después de la segunda semana, atribuyendo a la alcalinidad del suelo y falta de K como macronutriente. Las plantas 1:100 RSL y 3:100 RSN lograron resultados favorables, llegando a igualar su crecimiento de hojas y tamaño con la planta testigo, después de 8 semanas sus parámetros finales fueron: 1) planta testigo: 1.58% humedad, 15 cmol/kg de CIC y 2.44% SV; se cosechó un rábano alargado con 1.5 cm de ancho y 3 cm de largo; 2) 1:100 RSL: 14.46% humedad, 42 cmol/kg de CIC y 11.73% SV, se formó un bulbo de rábano con 3.5 cm de diámetro y 1.3 cm de largo; y 3) 3:100 RSN: 5.32% humedad, 18 cmol/kg de CIC y 13% SV, no hubo formación del bulbo del rábano, la raíz roja midió 2.5 cm de largo. Finalmente, la planta 1:100 RSN tuvo crecimiento del rábano similar al testigo, con 14.10% humedad, 25 cmol/kg de CIC y 85.90% SV; se cosechó un rábano alargado con 2.5 cm de ancho y 2.7 cm de largo.

El uso de promotores de crecimiento y agentes químicos amigables con el medio ambiente en la producción agrícola, resulta un reto importante y favorable, ya que reduciría el uso de agroquímicos y por lo tanto menos contaminación para el campo. Los principales objetivos de este estudio fueron hacer tratamientos sobre cultivo de maíz con auxinas, giberelinas y peróxido de hidrógeno; así como determinar cuáles son los principales efectos positivos o negativos. Se realizó un diseño de experimento factorial con cinco experimentos los cuales fueron: 1) auxinas, 2) giberelinas, 3) Peróxido de hidrógeno (H2O2), 4) auxinas-giberelinas y 5) control; el cultivo fue maíz, se hicieron muestreos de suelo y planta cada 20 días, las variables analizadas en planta fueron tamaño de raíz, tamaño de tallo, diámetro de tallo y número de hojas; mientras que para suelos fueron nitritos, nitratos, pH, CE y Eh; con estas se hizo un análisis estadístico (ANOVA y prueba de Tukey). Se lograron realizar los cinco experimentos y conforme a los resultados obtenidos se puede decir que de los mejores tratamientos son en los que se empleó H2O2 y auxinas, ya que estos fueron en los que el cultivo presentó los valores más altos de las variables analizadas en planta. Estos resultados sugieren que en estudios posteriores se hagan experimentos empleando fitohormonas y H2O2 en conjunto.

Los techos verdes, son jardines o huertos pequeños que se adaptan en los techos de casas, empresas, comercios y edificios, con el propósito de reducir la temperatura y la humedad al interior del lugar. Entre los beneficios que aporta la implementación de los techos verdes esta la disminución del dióxido de carbono, crear microambientes de insectos y pájaros pequeños, disminuir el consumo energético y reducir el efecto de isla de calor de las ciudades. En esta investigación se realizó el diseño y simulación de una casa con un cuarto en el software SolidWorks. Asimismo, se construyeron 2 prototipos de casas a escala 1:10 y se instrumentó con sensores de humedad y temperatura (Dht11), para hacer la comparación de las variables de temperatura y humedad con la implementación de un techo verde extensivo, techo plano de concreto y un techo verde modular, tomando los datos cada 5 minutos durante el mes de mayo. Los tres modelos utilizados se instalaron en la parte posterior del taller de energías renovables del TecNM Campus Progreso para comparar la temperatura y humedad de los modelos en condiciones ambientales. El prototipo de techo verde extensivo y modular alcanzaron una reducción del 17.85 y 10.90 % de temperatura con respecto al prototipo de techo plano de concreto y una reducción del 8.64 % con respecto a la temperatura media exterior del mes de mayo en el municipio de Progreso Yucatán. El confort térmico no se puede lograr simplemente implementando un techo verde bajo las condiciones ambientales prevalecientes en el verano en el estado de Yucatán, ya que se requiere el uso de aparatos mecánicos de ventilación para lograr el confort térmico de los ocupantes, sin embargo, la implementación de estos permite reducir la necesidad de aires acondicionados y contribuir al desarrollo de investigación de esta tecnología.
