Published: May 2024

A violência em gangues urbanas é um problema social que tem gerado preocupação em diversas comunidades ao redor do mundo. Essas organizações criminosas apresentam estruturas complexas e muitas vezes violentas, o que acaba resultando em um ciclo de violência difícil de ser quebrado. Neste trabalho, buscaremos investigar as causas estruturais que levam à formação de gangues urbanas, bem como as possíveis intervenções para combater esse fenômeno. Pretendemos identificar os principais fatores que contribuem para a criação e manutenção dessas organizações criminosas, bem como avaliar a eficácia das intervenções existentes. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, buscando identificar as principais teorias que explicam a formação de gangues urbanas, bem como as estratégias de intervenção adotadas em diferentes contextos. Nossos resultados apontam que as causas da formação de gangues urbanas são multifatoriais, envolvendo questões como exclusão social, falta de oportunidades, desigualdade econômica, entre outros. Além disso, identificamos que as intervenções mais eficazes para combater esse fenômeno são aquelas que buscam a prevenção, por meio de políticas públicas que promovam a inclusão social e o acesso a oportunidades para os jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade. Diante do exposto, podemos concluir que a violência em gangues urbanas é um problema complexo que exige uma abordagem multifacetada. É fundamental que as intervenções sejam baseadas em evidências e priorizem a prevenção, promovendo a inclusão social e o acesso a oportunidades para os jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade. Além disso, é importante que haja um trabalho integrado entre as diferentes esferas do governo, a sociedade civil e as instituições de segurança pública para combater efetivamente esse fenômeno. Acreditamos que somente por meio de políticas públicas abrangentes e eficazes poderemos romper o ciclo de violência das gangues urbanas e promover a paz nas nossas comunidades.

A importância da Odontologia na promoção da saúde bucal e no aprimoramento da qualidade de vida dos pacientes hospitalizados é inegável. A falta de atenção à saúde oral pode acarretar consequências adversas para o estado de saúde global do paciente, comprometendo seu quadro clínico e, eventualmente, impactando outros sistemas do corpo, prolongando assim o tempo de internação. A importância da higiene bucal na prevenção de infecções e na saúde dos pacientes hospitalizados nas UTIs é indiscutível. No entanto, a falta de protocolos claros ou conhecimentos adequados por parte das equipes de enfermagem destaca a necessidade crucial da presença de um cirurgião-dentista na equipe multiprofissional, garantindo uma intervenção eficaz na saúde bucal dos pacientes. O estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura e enfatizar a importância da presença do cirurgião-dentista na equipe multidisciplinar na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), bem como a influência dos cuidados com a saúde bucal na qualidade de vida geral dos pacientes hospitalizados.

Abstract. Modelling atmospheric composition at street level is challenging because pollutant concentration within street canyons depends on both local emissions and the transport of polluted air masses from remote areas. Therefore, regional-scale modelling and local applications must be combined to provide accurate simulations of the atmospheric composition at street locations. In our study, we compare two strategies: i) a subgrid-scale approach embedded in the chemistry-transport model or ii) the street-network model MUNICH. In both cases, the regional-scale chemistry-transport model CHIMERE provides the urban background concentrations, and the meteorological model WRF, coupled with CHIMERE, is used to provide meteorological fields. Simulation results for NOx, NO2, and PM2.5 concentrations over the city of Paris from both modelling approaches are compared with in-situ measurements in traffic air-quality stations. At stations located in downtown areas, with low traffic emissions, the street-network model MUNICH exhibits superior performance compared to the Subgrid approach for NOx concentrations, while comparable results are obtained for NO2. However, significant discrepancies between the two methods are observed for all analyzed pollutants at stations heavily influenced by road traffic. These stations are typically located near highways, where the bias between the two approaches can reach 58 %. The Subgrid approach's ability to estimate accurate emissions data is limited, leading to potential underestimation or overestimation of gas and fine particle concentrations based on the emission heterogeneity it handles. The performance of MUNICH appears to be highly sensitive to the friction velocity, a parameter influenced by the anthropogenic heat flux used in the WRF model. Street dimensions do contribute to the performance disparities observed between the two approaches, yet emissions remain the predominant factor.

Authors: Melro Ana
Published: May 2024

Evaluation is an essential tool if the aim is to understand whether there has been progress (and what kind of progress) in the implementation of a particular programme, policy and/or project. In the case of family mediation, this is even more pertinent, not only because of the relevance it could have in the Portuguese judicial system, but also because of the effects it has on the lives of the individuals involved, adults, but especially children. The paper presents some important facts for understanding and contextualizing the path that family mediation has taken in Portugal. These facts will set the tone and support the definition of evaluation indicators and the construction of the impact evaluation model that is proposed. Family mediation has gained a lot of prominence in the context of Alternative Means of Dispute Resolution, and it is therefore very important to effectively understand the impact and different dimensions of this AMDR.

Authors: Kuzbagarov Askhat
Published: May 2024

Mediation, one of the forms of conciliation of the parties, has acquired the character of a successful guide to the world of harmony. However, several barriers prevented the proper implementation of the mediation. In-depth research on mediation is needed to find a way to overcome the mentioned barriers. This paper aims to analyze mediation as a modern legal institution, defining its genesis, types, principles, and sources. To achieve this, the author used retrospective analysis to illustrate the peculiarities of the genesis of the concept of mediation, a systemic approach to study the implementation of the idea of mediation in different legal systems, and comparative legal analysis to show the development of the concept in various countries. The article reveals its formation, points of support and opportunities for resolving legal conflicts (disputes). The basic principles on which the mediation procedure is based and what actions the mediator performs are concretized, including in the form of principles and stages of mediation.

Authors: Sitdikov Ruslan
Published: May 2024

Pre-trial conflict resolution procedures do not cease to be in demand, and the development of their legal regulation does not lose its relevance. Disputes on protecting intellectual rights are no exception, and most countries have established special pre-trial procedures. However, specific difficulties emerge when applying the legal norms related to pre-trial conflict resolution procedures in disputes on the protection of intellectual rights, which can be clearly demonstrated while studying the Russian experience using the mentioned pre-trial procedures. The paper aims to analyze and define the peculiarities of pre-trial procedures in disputes on protecting intellectual rights in Russia. Using systemic approach, as well as comparative legal and formal legal analysis allowed author to define the peculiarities of pre-trial procedures in disputes on the protection of intellectual rights in the Russian Federation: special requirement on the mandatory pre-trial claim procedure is a departure from the general approach, according to which such procedure is required for disputes arising from transactions or unjust enrichment, and is probably due to the complexity of these disputes; in the administrative pre-trial procedure of dispute examination in the Chamber of Patent Disputes the parties have a wide enough set of procedural rights and opportunities, and the procedure is quite close to the judicial procedure, and in some respects even exceeds it.

According to behavioral finance, people are not always rational in managing their finances. The financial stability of a person is directly linked with the spending style and pattern of the individual. This research investigates how mental budgeting influences financial behaviors and altogether financial stability, with a focus on the moderating effect of self-control. To explore this, we studied 294 people to see how mental budgeting affects their financial management and well-being, and how self-control plays a role in this process. A self-administered questionnaire was adapted to gather responses of the employees working in various organizations in Lahore. Smart PLS and SPSS were utilized to analyze and measure the responses collected from respondents.  This study found that people are able to better manage their finances when they use mental budgeting. Similarly, there is clear evidence that mental budgeting has an association with financial well-being and financial behavior. The path coefficient uncovers the moderating impact of self-control on financial management behavior and financial wellness. These findings suggest that teaching people about mental budgeting and self-control in financial education programs might help them make better financial decisions. This study adds to our understanding by showing how these factors work together to influence financial behavior, highlighting the need for more tailored financial advice that considers both mental budgeting and self-control. This research helps clarify how people can better manage their finances through both mental strategies and behavioral control, contributing valuable insights into effective financial management practices.

Early Detection of Global Developmental Delay in Infants Using Indian Screening Tools: Insights from a Tertiary Care Hospital and Implications for Raising Awareness about Neurodevelopmental Outcomes - A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Khandare Shilpa , Goyal Aanchal
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Developmental delay may have an impact on a child's development in several areas, such as social, linguistic, motor and cognitive. Since GDD encompasses a wide range of developmental domains, as opposed to particular developmental disorders that concentrate on a single area, it is a complex and challenging condition to study and treat. Early diagnosis and treatment of GDD symptoms are essential for maximizing a child's development through the application of specialized strategies and therapies.
Method: This cross-sectional study is focused on screening infants (1-11 months of age) on the basis of Indian Screening Tools for Global Developmental Delay, providing insights from a Tertiary Care Hospital and its implications for Raising Awareness about Neurodevelopmental Outcomes.
Results: Out of 201 eligible infant population (age between 1-11months old), mean(SD) 6.9weeks (3.1) (Male=142, Female=59), Among the total population, mean Item Delay using TDSC in male children was 5, mean item Delay using TDSC in Female children was 4. Mean Item Delay using BDST in Male children was 4; Mean Item Delay using BDST in Female children was 4. Mean Item Delay using LDS in Male children was 4; Mean Item Delay using LDS in Female children was 3.
Conclusion: Our data, which is used to detect term and preterm children at risk of suffering a global developmental delay, shows distinct developmental trajectories in respect to the scores obtained from the Indian screening methods. Additionally, in order to monitor and clarify the neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants at an early stage and provide early remediation for disabilities, it is crucial to establish an awareness drive regarding parent-reported developmental concerns among parents within the tertiary care setup and multidisciplinary team.

Authors: Dinesh Ashok Arani
Published: May 2024

Conventional HD wireless networks operated by using distinct time slots or frequency (freq.) sub-bands for transmission and reception within the same family. Therefore, the wireless research community aims to develop FD operation to enable simultaneous transmission along with reception inside a single time/ freq. channel. This research aims to conduct an analytical investigation of the conditions under which real FD systems may attain higher data rates compared to analogous HD systems. The primary obstacle in real FD systems is to the uncancelled self-interference (SI) signal, which arises due to a confluence of hardware along with implementation defects. First, provide a signal model that encompasses the impact of notable impairments, including oscillator phase noise (PN), along with low-noise amplifier (LNA) noise figure, along with mixer noise, along with analog-to-digital converter quantization noise.  The rate gain area (RGA) is examined in this research using the comprehensive signal model. A~1.2x to ~1.4x that of HD systems for short-range applications like class-3 Bluetooth. To get the same rate gain with Class-1 Bluetooth, −70dB in-band PN must be paired with 50dB passive SI suppression.
An Enhanced Long-Term Wind Speed Prediction Using Dynamic Unified Ensemble Learning and Data Assimilation Techniques: A Case Study in Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Sasi Rekha Sankar
Published: May 2024

Reliable wind speed prediction is essential for effective grid management since wind energy is a key component of renewable energy generation. However, controlling wind speed just right is no easy feat since the wind flow changes constantly. This paper presents an innovative method for predicting wind speeds in the future. It uses state-of-the-art data assimilation methods and a dynamic unified ensemble learning model. For efficient wind energy planning and monitoring, WSP accuracy is crucial. Data from a single site limited the accuracy of WSPs in previous research. An improved accuracy of long-term wind speed predictions is achieved by the proposed model via the integration of data assimilation and ensemble learning. To increase forecast accuracy, the model uses sophisticated data assimilation methods like the Kalman filter to combine data from many sources. Specifically, the model employs the Stacked CNN + BiLSTM with Data Assimilator (SCBLSTM+DA) technique, which integrates Wind Speed (WS) data from adjacent areas with the CNN + BiLSTM-based Ensemble Learning Model (ELM) and the Four-Dimensional Variational and Ensemble Kalman Filter (4DVar/EnKF) Data Assimilation method. Using real-world wind speed data from nine meteorological stations in Tamil Nadu, India, we find that current prediction models, including both classical statistical and cutting-edge machine learning models, perform better. Further, unlike standalone models, the suggested model shows less susceptibility to changes in prediction time scales. Promising a solution to improve long-term wind speed predictions accuracy, this study has significant consequences for wind energy management and production.

Published: May 2024

Mental stress is a significant issue affecting individuals across all age groups in today's society. The impact of stress extends beyond mental well-being and can lead to various chronic illnesses, including depression, malignancy, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Addressing mental stress and implementing strategies for stress management and prevention are crucial not only for mental well-being but also for reducing the risk of associated chronic illnesses. In this paper, we are focussing of the problem of mental stress in today's society and the significance of early prediction and management. The use of Random Forest (RF) method with enhanced band pass filtration technique on ECG data for predicting stress levels is a promising approach. Achieving a 96.73% accuracy in stress categorization, along with improvements over prior research results, highlights the effectiveness of the proposed model. The main contribution of the research work is that the results of the model are validated using real-time datasets which further strengthens its reliability and applicability in practical scenarios.
Barricades against Evictions: Coexistence of Short- and Long-term Frames in the Housing Movement on Facebook and Twitter
Authors: Ramón-Pinat Ezequiel
Published: May 2024

Social movements fight to change society’s roots and challenge entrenched cultural frameworks. At the same time, however, they must attend to everyday activism and protests that constitute a clear and pragmatic mobilization goal. This article analyzes the case of a movement for decent housing on social media called Platform for Those Affected by Mortgages (PAH). This organization fights to guarantee universal access to housing, a recurrent problem in large cities. It grew in 2010 when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States. The bursting of the real estate bubble built up at that time had a global impact, pushing other markets. On the one hand, the movement has to change entrenched cognitive frameworks that say property must be bought and its loss is the individual’s responsibility. On the other hand, it must coordinate and try to gather as many people as possible to stop the evictions that occur every day. Twitter seems crucial for daily mobilization in this double logic, while Facebook allows for more complex narratives. The methodology used was a framing analysis of the content published on the organization’s official Facebook and Twitter accounts. Although these should be understood as overlapping layers, the movement is often trapped in a narrative that it does not want. By highlighting specific cases, it leads to an understanding that access to housing does not affect most of society.

Published: May 2024

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) and Acute Bronchial Asthma Crises (AABC) are diseases that can be monitored well in advance. The objective of the research consisted in making a prognosis one year in advance of these two variables, obtaining highly significant correlations and small errors. Daily data from the hospital of Sagua La Grande, Villa Clara, Cuba, were used for the period from January 2006 to February 28, 2011. The prediction period or long-term independent sample comprised from March 1, 2010 to March 28, 2011, with a total of 365 cases. A modeling was also performed by first calculating the long-term forecast, where the predicted value was used as a predictor for the short-term model; errors were calculated for the independent sample, obtaining an improvement in the errors in the case of CAAB, where the mean error decreased from 18.7 cases to 1.68. It is concluded that it is possible to predict daily ARI and CAAB cases one year in advance using the Objective Regression Regressive methodology.

Pesticide decreased percentage of mycorrhizal infection and population of soil bacteria and increased yield of maize. Furthermore, AMF increased fosfor uptake and yield of maize.
From Darkness to Light: Nicodemus, “the Jews,” and John’s Gospel
Authors: Reedrow Alexander James
Published: May 2024

How might we read the canonical Gospel of John as anything other than anti-Jewish, a scholarly point of view that in recent years has received renewed support? The accusation is absolute and raises serious problems for the gospel’s ongoing reception as Christian Scripture. The appropriate response to this challenge of such high stakes is to return to the gospel and offer close readings of the relevant passages. This article participates in the ongoing debate regarding the status of the gospel by examining how John characterizes Nicodemus, the first “Jew” with whom Jesus engages in extended dialogue. Through a reading of his three appearances (John 3:1–21; 7:45–52; 19:38–42), this article argues for a positive characterization of Nicodemus. It contends that he progresses toward a fuller understanding of Jesus’s true identity, which culminates in reverently burying Jesus, this act representing an embodied confession commensurate with Johannine faith. Becoming a disciple, Nicodemus nevertheless remains a “Jew.” Thus, he is a case in point for how the gospel, while striking in its marked dualistic contrasts and exclusivist in its claim for Jesus as the only Way, permits movement across the very boundaries it establishes, thereby challenging the appropriateness of labeling John an anti-Jewish gospel. Part of the theological challenge of John’s Gospel is for all readers to recognize themselves in the story of Nicodemus.

Published: May 2024

The pace of internationalization is rapidly rising thanks to unfettered communication channels and affordable travel. To take advantage of the potential this presents, institutions all around the world are establishing international partnerships and developing relationships with other universities. International collaboration in higher education fosters knowledge growth, open transfer of ideas, and enduring connections between institutions of higher learning. Collaborations between international and Indian educational institutions have definite advantages. Two major shortcomings in India's current educational system have to be corrected for the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to succeed. The first is flexibility in terms of subject options, course length, organization, and other factors. The second involves integrating top-tier foreign institutions and resources into Indian society. In this context, the researcher wants to discover what edupreneurs think about these partnerships and collaborations and wants to promote them throughout all of their universities. Therefore, the researcher takes 245 sample edupreneures from four sides of India which states contain the highest private universities as of 25-01-2023 i.e., Gujarat (West side), Rajasthan (North side), Karnataka (South side), Jharkhand (East side).

The COVID-19 drastically changed the social system and working patterns throughout the world, especially in the IT sector. COVID-19 was the first situation when the whole workforce switched to the telecommuting for an extended length of time. During the COVID-19 situation, it’s been observed that working women are facing more challenges while performing WFH in both mental and physical ways by handling multiple tasks at a time. Managing a better work-life balance was an actual stress in between all the household chores and social responsibilities and their professional career was in high risk. This paper provided an insight to identify the significant factors of working from home that influence the career progression of workforce in the IT sector and to know the impact of these factors on their professional paths. This quantitative study will be built upon primary data collected by the IT employees. In the data collection process we have applied purposive sampling of around 320 employees of IT sector. Further Factor analysis combined with regression and correlation analysis will be used to evaluate the collected data. As result of study found that IT employees are most significantly impacted by the organisational factor, individual factor and work productivity factor during WFH.

Para a organização, gerenciamento e controle do desenvolvimento de software, as plataformas de gerenciamento de artefatos gerados nos processos de desenvolvimento de software desempenham um papel fundamental. O cerne para a geração desses artefatos são os requisitos, o que torna a elicitação deles uma prática comum durante o planejamento e produção, visando estruturar o processo antes do início do desenvolvimento. Esses requisitos tendem a gerar artefatos mapeados em ferramentas distintas, a exemplo de ferramentas de design e de criação de diagramas. O uso de diferentes ferramentas pode dificultar o rastreio do estado dos requisitos nessas diferentes plataformas. A proposta deste trabalho é desenvolver uma ferramenta para auxiliar no gerenciamento dos requisitos em um projeto de software. Para desenvolver a proposta, foi realizado um Survey guiado por elementos do Modelo de Aceitação de Tecnologia (TAM), uma estrutura teórica que explica como os usuários aceitam e adotam tecnologias, baseada na utilidade percebida da tecnologia e na facilidade de uso percebida.
O Breaking como janela à atividade cênica

Published: May 2024

O Breaking pode ser tratado como uma ferramenta apta ao desenho cênico. Embora parte dos que se ocupam dele negligenciam essa possibilidade, o Breaking apresenta estrutura vocabular suficiente para não se dar a ver somente como "batalha" ou como competição entre pares; agora, por nós tipificadas. Enceta outros “jeitos” à criação artística por meio da marcha, rodopios, uso simultâneo de braços e pernas e quedas e sustentação típicas da dança. Como subárea das danças urbanas, pode abrir novos atalhos ao que se apresenta especialmente na cena. A restrição pode se encontrar justamente nessa vocação cinética em conferir semanticidade às ferramentas originalmente criadas e desenvolvidas por adolescentes.
Tratamento conservativo da pitiose equina: relato de caso
Authors: Bertonha Candice Mara , Bernardo Lima Laura Cecília
Published: May 2024

A pitiose cutânea é uma afecção frequente em equinos, causada pelo oomiceto Pythium insidiosum, acometendo animais com lesões prévias e contato com ambientes alagados. Objetivou-se descrever o tratamento conservativo de pitiose em égua Mangalarga Marchador, mantida em área alagada e com histórico de emagrecimento progressivo. Ao exame físico observou-se lesão ulcerativa granulomatosa e extensa (25x20 cm), na região ventral do abdômen, com presença de kunkers, exsudação de líquido mucossanguinolento, intenso prurido e odor fétido. O diagnóstico de pitiose foi confirmado pelo exame histopatológico. Optou-se por três aplicações semanais de 20 mg de acetonida de triancinolona pela via intramuscular associado ao iodeto de potássio, pela via oral, na dose de 55 mg/kg, durante 45 dias, obtido em farmácia de manipulação veterinária, além de curativo diário da ferida com sabão neutro e repelente ao redor. Houve recuperação completa da ferida e melhora da condição clínica do animal após 50 dias do início do tratamento. Conclui-se que o acetonida de triancinolona e iodeto de potássio foram eficazes no tratamento da pitiose equina, sem a necessidade de ressecção cirúrgica.

O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacionar o comportamento do estro com o escore de remoção de tinta da região sacral (ERT) e avaliar a associação do ERT com o número de montas e comportamentos secundários do estro em fêmeas nulíparas de Bos indicus. Vinte e quatro protocolos de inseminação artificial em tempo fixo (IATF) de três manejos foram implementados para investigação do objetivo do estudo. A comparação entre ERT 3 e ERT 2 revelou diferenças significativas nas variáveis ​monta recebidas, execução de monta, descanso de queixo, cheirar ou ser cheirada, lamber e ser lambida, favorecendo o grupo ERT 3 (P < 0,05), indicando estro. Entretanto, a comparação entre ERT 2 e ERT 1 não resultou em diferenças significativas nas características citadas, exceto no ser cheirada (P < 0,05), indicando ausência de estro para esses dois escores. O número de montas recebidas em ERT 2 e 1 foi insuficiente para apagar as marcações. Conclui-se que o ERT se mostrou um indicador eficiente da manifestação do estro. Os comportamentos de estro das vacas nulíparas na ERT 3 foram mais evidentes que os da ERT 1 e 2, e os comportamentos manifestados na ERT 1 foram semelhantes aos da ERT 2, indicando ausência de comportamento de estro. Assim, sugere-se que no futuro o ERT seja apenas dividido em duas classes.
