Cross-Border Cooperation within the European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument “Ukraine-Romania-Moldova”
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Sokolovskyy Oleksandr
Published: May 2024

Under the current conditions of expanding globalization, the role of cross-border cooperation in the life of regions and communities is growing and new opportunities are opening up to intensify economic activity in peripheral areas and increase their competitiveness. Cross-border cooperation is aimed at overcoming the negative aspects of the existence of borders and the consequences that have arisen in the border areas due to their location on the national outskirts of states and aims to improve living conditions. Among the main goals of such cooperation are: overcoming existing stereotypes and prejudices on both sides of the border; removing political and administrative barriers between neighboring nations; creation of economic, social and cultural infrastructure, subject to the formation of joint bodies, economic entities, centers, etc. The article describes the main aspects of cross-border cooperation between Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. Romania is an important partner for the countries of Eastern Europe and, as one of the youngest EU countries, has considerable experience that could help partner countries to carry out effective socio- economic reforms and fight corruption. Ukraine-Romania- Moldova cross-border cooperation is part of the European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument and plays an important role in developing mutually beneficial relations between states, addressing socio-economic, environmental and security issues, and is an effective means of Ukraine’s European integration. The Joint Action Plan “Ukraine-Romania- Moldova” 2007–2013 of the European Instrument has significantly affected the revival of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, especially the cooperation of local and regional authorities, communities and civil society institutions. During the program, more than 140 projects were implemented, which contributed to the development of transport infrastructure in border areas, energy networks, water and waste management, funded projects for cooperation between universities, research institutes and local authorities. There are positive dynamics of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and Romania, in particular, important infrastructure projects are being implemented under the “Joint Black Sea Basin Joint Operational Program 2014–2020” and EU Joint Operational Program Romania-Ukraine 2014–2020”.

У статті зазначено, що нові реалії, які ми спостерігаємо (глобалізаційні процеси, пандемія COVID-19, інформаційні війни і т.д.) спричинюють зміни у всіх сферах суспільного життя. Дозвілля є однією з таких сфер. У зв’язку з цими змінами, трансформаціями та модифікаціями люди вимушені шукати нові шляхи організації свого дозвілля та проведення вільного часу. Звертається увага, що відбуваються зміни форм різних видів діяльності. Зокрема змінюються їх зміст. Підкреслюється, що відповідно до змін у суспільстві мають змінюватися підходи до вивчення людських діяльностей. У статті проаналізовано останні дослідження та публікації, що стосуються організації дозвілля та підходів до його вивчення. Також зазначено, що у вивченні цього питання є аспекти, які ще не були з’ясовані та обґрунтовані в повному обсязі. Звертаємо увагу на те, що вкладається у зміст поняття дозвілля в науковому обігу. Визначено, що дозвілля розглядають у контексті вільного часу, а саме як його частини. Підкреслено, що хоч ці два поняття розглядаються у тандемі, але вони не є тотожними. Сконцентровано увагу на розгляді основних підходів, що виокремлюють в соціології, та їхнього застосування у процесі вивчення питання. Проведений аналіз змісту соціологічних підходів до вивчення дозвілля дав змогу нам зрозуміти, що особливу увагу варто звернути на інституційний підхід. Він на сучасному етапі розвитку соціологічної науки посідає одне з провідних місць. Саме тому було детально розглянуто вивчення дозвіллєвих практик з огляду на інституційний підхід. Зазначено, що, на нашу думку, під час вивчення цього питання в українському суспільстві найбільш доречно та доцільно застосовувати інституційний підхід. Визначено, що цей підхід можна назвати інтеграцією елементів різних підходів. Це, у свою чергу, дає змогу обґрунтувати наші погляди з приводу найбільш оптимального підходу вивчення та дослідження дозвілля в українському соціумі. Сконцентровано увагу на тому, що вибір соціологічного підходу під час вивчення та дослідження певного питання залежить від того, яку мету та завдання ставить перед собою науковець.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this article is to introduce Jan Lityński, Polish oppositionist active from late ‘60s to 1989 and to describe his beliefs and opinions about politics, society and his environment. Lityński became an oppositionist against communist government as a student at University of Warsaw and was involved in events known as “March 1968” which led to his imprisonment and made continuing his education impossible. But despite this, Lityński remained in the opposition until the collapse of the communist regime in Poland. He collaborated with the most prominent members of the opposition and wrote texts on political and social issues for various periodicals published in the illegal circulation. As a member of KOR and “Solidarność”, he lost his freedom many times but never let himself be broken or to betray his beliefs. In 1989 he took part in Polish Round Table Agreements that led to the change of the political system. This article was written based on Lityński’s publications from the 1980s and things he wrote and said years after those events. Other sources of information were interviews conducted with Lityński and statements made about him by associates from the opposition period.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: One of the greatest challenges in poultry production is maintaining intestinal mucosal barrier integrity and gut microbiota balance. Safe alternative antimicrobials that can regulate the microbial community through animal feed have been the subject of research in poultry production. This study evaluated the effect of Mentha piperita and Melaleuca alternifolia essential oils (EOs) on the gut microbiome and morphometry of broiler quails under normal feeding conditions. The gut microbiome was studied using a completely randomized design consisting of 4 treatments, namely control, bacitracin zinc, and the Eos M. piperita and M. alternifolia, with 8 repetitions and 7 quails per treatment, totaling 224 quails from 1 to 42 days old. The intestinal contents of the slaughtered quails were collected to evaluate the gut microbiome profile of their digestive tract. Gut morphometry was analyzed using a completely randomized factorial design, with four experimental rations for three intestinal sections (4x3) and five replications. The variables studied were villus surface area and height, crypt depth, villus height to cryptdepth ratio (VH:CD), villus-crypt ratio (V:C), villus width to height ratio (VW:H), and height of the intestinal epithelium and musculature. M. alternifolia (50 mg/kg of feed) in the diet of broiler quails improved gut morphometry, similar to the results obtained with bacitracin zinc. This EO also altered the gut microbiome of quails and reduced pathogenic bacterial diversity.
THE APPEAL OF NOVELTY: THE EFFECT OF PRICE TAG PRESENTATION ON THE PURCHASE INTENTION OF NEW PRODUCTS
Authors: Bagatini Francine Zanin , Wagner Rafael Luís , Rech Eduardo
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT The present study investigates the influence of price tag presentation on the purchase intention of new products available at a retail store. A 2 (Price tag: present or absent) x 2 (Informational tag: present or absent) design between-subjects experiment was conducted with 195 U.S. participants recruited through an online panel (i.e., Figure Eight). Consumers present higher purchase intentions for products with a novelty appeal (e.g., marked with a “New” tag) when also presented with the price tag, giving them an idea that a novel product is being sold. Curiously, if the product is not marketed with any informational tag (e.g., “New”), the lack of price presentation increases purchase intention. Besides that, when people consider the product at least ‘more or less’ expensive, the informational tag “New” triggers a higher purchase intention compared to the lack of the informational tag. This research significantly contributes to both theory and practice, demonstrating how retailers can effectively communicate new products in both online and offline retailing.
SHIRLEY ANNE TATE E SUA PERSPECTIVA FEMINISTA NEGRA DECOLONIAL: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA OS ESTUDOS ORGANIZACIONAIS
Authors: Lage Mariana Luísa da Costa
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Apesar dos avanços dos estudos críticos no âmbito dos estudos organizacionais, com a diversidade de abordagens ontológicas, epistemológicas e metodológicas, ainda se verifica pouca aproximação das contribuições de feministas negras decoloniais. Para expandir isso, apresento o trabalho da professora Shirley Anne Tate, discorrendo sobre sua produção científica e ativismo no âmbito da interseccionalidade entre feminismo e teoria racial. Assumindo a importância da produção de mulheres negras latino-americanas e caribenhas, discorro sobre as teorias de Shirley Tate a respeito da noção de raça como definida e, ao mesmo tempo, contestada nas práticas e discursos cotidianos – o que coloca as experiências de mulheres negras mestiças em debate, evidenciando afetos e emoções nas constituições identitárias; e como a academia é um espaço pautado pelo racismo institucional, interpessoal e por microagressões.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to radiographically compare the effects of anchor positioning in the arthroscopic treatment of shoulder instability, in the 3- and 5-o’clock portals. Methods: retrospective study of 36 patients, operated by two shoulder surgeons at the Unimed BH hospital, between January 2013 and January 2018. Each surgeon used only one of either the 3- or the 5-o’clock portal. After postoperative radiographs we performed angle comparisons between the greatest glenoidal axis, the angle of anchor insertion and distance from the inferior pole. Results: the 5-o’clock portal provided better placement than its 3-o’clock counterpart, which allowed for greater orthogonality in relation to the glenoid rim (p < 0.05). Conclusion: the 5-o’clock portal allowed for better anchor placement than the 3 o’clock one. Level of Evidence II, Clinical Trial.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of bone reconstruction and lengthening compared to amputation in the treatment of tibial hemimelia for patients and their families. Methods: Systematic review of articles published in English and Portuguese between 1982 and 2022 in the MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane and SciELO databases. The variables of interest were: year of publication, sample characteristics, classification of tibial hemimelia according to Jones, treatment outcome and follow-up time. Results: A total of eleven articles were included in the scope of this review. The studies involved 131 patients, 53.4% male and 46.6% female. The age of the patients who underwent a surgical procedure ranged from 1 year and 10 months to 15 years. The most common type was Jones’ I (40.9%). The most recurrent complications in the reconstruction treatment were: infection of the external fixator path, flexion contracture (mainly of the knee), reduction in the range of motion of the knee and ankle. Conclusion: We did not find enough relevant studies in the literature to prove the superiority of reconstruction. Amputation remains the gold standard treatment for tibial hemimelia to this day.

Authors: Rodrigues Karenina do Nascimento
Published: May 2024

Resumo Das Cronicas de Ayala à entidade pombogira, as tradições sobre Maria de Padilha atravessaram muitas encruzilhadas, inclusive aquela percorrida pela comédia no século XVII. No impresso de 1617, vemos na Novena Parte, de Lope de Vega, a comédia La Niña de Plata contar a história de dom Pedro I e seu meio-irmão, dom Enrique, além da história de Dorotea, que é um modelo de mujer ingeniosa codificado por Lope de Vega na Novena Parte. Argumentamos que podemos supor a presença de Maria de Padilha na peça através do ambiente de cortesania e que Dorotea e Padilha são mujeres ingeniosas.
Estudio de la reescritura literaria para público infantil de la película de Disney-Pixar Coco
Authors: García-Pedreira Rocío
Published: May 2024

Resumen Este artículo pretende acercarse al fenómeno adaptador tradicional a la inversa; es decir, el proceso por el que el mundo narrativo de una película se expande a través de la literatura. Para ello, se centra la atención en la película de Disney-Pixar Coco (2017) y cuatro álbumes ilustrados infantiles que la reescriben. Se ha utilizado un diseño metodológico mixto, basado en el análisis de contenido de productos multimodales desde un enfoque comparativo-narratológico. Se han podido diferenciar dos usos claros de la reescritura: uno de carácter más ilustrativo, dirigido a la difusión del material original, y otro más creativo, centrado en la expansión del universo de partida. En todo caso, todas las propuestas reafirman la tendencia por la creación actual de narrativas que se expanden en distintos medios, dentro del nuevo entorno transmedial, que exige la actualización de los contenidos propios de las competencias literaria y fílmica y los saberes relacionados.
Which purchase do I deserve? Understanding self-gift and purchase dimensions
Authors: Victor Caio , Gerhard Felipe , Peñaloza Verónica , Mota Marcio de Oliveira , Freitas Ana Augusta Ferreira
Published: May 2024

Abstract Purpose: This study sought to compare the behavior of self-gifting among the purchase dimensions. Specifically, we sought to identify which type of purchase is preferable in this phenomenon and how the predecessor moment can regulate and boost the donation of appropriate gifts for themselves. Originality/value: This study differs from previous research by simultaneously comparing the purchase dimensions (material-experiential and ordinary-extraordinary) and the moments preceding the purchase in the act of self-gifting. The findings indicate that donating ordinary possessions is essential for realizing the symbolic self-communication of the consumer who gives himself. Design/methodology/approach: Two sequential experimental design studies between subjects were carried out, with a non-probabilistic sample of 414 respondents. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). Findings: The results showed that ordinary material purchases led to a greater attitude towards self-gift, even though the literature suggested that extraordinary experiential purchases were preferable. In sequence, the concept of proportionality indicates that individuals seek to give themselves a gift regardless of the moment before the purchase. Consumers regulate their self-gifting based on the previously lived moment. In ordinary predecessor events, individuals seek to reward themselves with ordinary purchases, while in landmark predecessor events, individuals seek to reward themselves with extraordinary purchases.
Exploratory analysis of the association between stature, obesity, and food insecurity in adults of the National Dietary Survey 2017-2018
Authors: Domingos Talita Barbosa , Sichieri Rosely , Salles-Costa Rosana
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate short stature as a possible explanation for obesity, and identify if consumption of energy, protein, carbohydrate, and lipids were associated to higher risk for obesity in Brazilian adults (20-59 y) living in household food insecurity. Methods Cross-sectional study from 2017/2018 Household Budget Survey (N=28,112). Food insecurity was measured with the Brazilian Household Food Insecurity Measurement Scale. Short stature was used as an indicator of malnutrition at the beginning of life, which characterizes metabolic alterations resulting from the presence of food insecurity (cuts off women ≤149cm; men ≤160cm). Body mass index (kg/m2) was estimated from self-reported weight and body height. The average food intake was estimated from a 24-hr recall. The weighted means and standard error of the food security/insecurity categories were assessed according to height, mean energy intake and protein(g), carbohydrate(g) and lipids(g) intake, stratified by gender and nutritional status. Results Both men and women with obesity and food insecurity had significantly lower average height in comparison with those in food security status (p-value <0.01). The prevalence of obesity 1 (BMI 30-34.9kg/m2) increased significantly with the food insecurity among women. There was a trend towards short stature among obese women from families with food insecurity, as well as lower intake of energy. Among both men and women, the lowest intakes of protein and the highest intake of carbohydrates were observed in the underweight group (BMI <18.5kg/m2). Conclusion In women, the risk of obesity may depend on the metabolic background, since who presents food insecurity and develop obesity have low stature and lower energy intake.

ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the consumer’s food environment in food retailers around public schools in the municipality of Governador Celso Ramos, state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. Methods A survey was carried out in the surroundings of three public schools, from March to May 2022. Food retailers located in a pre-established 800m buffer zone were identified. A location system device recorded latitude and longitude. An audit of the establishments was performed using a specific validated instrument for auditing the consumer food environment (AUDITNOVA). These establishments were grouped into: Group 1 - predominantly selling fresh foods, Group 2 - mixed establishments, and Group 3 - predominantly selling ultra-processed foods. These establishments were assessed using a Consumer Food Environment Healthiness Score evaluation system. The data were analyzed using the statistical software Stata version 16.0. Results The study audited 21 establishments, 47.6% of which were small neighborhood food markets, 23.8% bakeries, 14.3% butchers/fishmongers, 9.5% grocery stores and 4.8% supermarkets. It was found that privately-owned vegetable markets had a higher availability of fresh and minimally processed food categories, while the lowest scores for this category were found in bakeries. Regarding ultra-processed foods, the most commonly found items were sugary beverages and candies, chocolates, and filled cookies. Conclusion More audit studies ought to be carried out in the surroundings of schools to broaden the understanding of the relationship between access, availability, prices and food advertisement in order to support the construction of strategies aimed at preventing obesity in the population.
A Terceira Lei de Kepler em diferente escalas:de luas até galáxias
Authors: Pereira C.C. , Velásquez-Toribio A.M.
Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar a terceira lei de Kepler para diferentes sistemas astronômicos em diversas escalas de distância, tais como Júpiter e suas quatro luas Galileanas, bem como o Sistema Solar, exoplanetas e galáxias. No caso de Júpiter utilizamos dados reais e simulados usando o programa Contemporary Laboratory in Astronomy (CLEA) valendo-se da equivalência entre o movimento harmônico simples (MHS) e movimento circular uniforme (MCU). Para o Sistema Solar e exoplanetas usamos dados das missões espaciais da NASA, e para galáxias, usamos dados do movimento de estrelas próximas do buraco negro Sargittarius A* da Via Láctea. A lei de Kepler é verificada nas escalas lunares, planetárias e exoplanetárias, sendo aproximadamente satisfeita também para Sargittarius A*. Por outro lado, a Terceira lei de Kepler não se verifica para o movimento geral de estrelas ao redor dos centros galácticos, pois as curvas de rotação de galáxias apresentam comportamento diferente do estabelecido pela lei do inverso do quadrado e é possível que a influência da componente de matéria escura seja dominante nestes sistemas.
Folga financeira e gastos ambientais: value-relevance no mercado acionário brasileiro
Authors: Santos José Glauber Cavalcante dos , Vasconcelos Alessandra Carvalho de , Luca Márcia Martins Mendes De
Published: May 2024

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o efeito da folga financeira no value-relevance de gastos ambientais em firmas do mercado de capitais brasileiro. A literatura nacional tem negligenciado a abordagem de investigações sobre value-relevance de informações ambientais de desempenho, diferentemente do que ocorre na literatura estrangeira. O estudo aborda a combinação de informações ambientais com a condição financeira das firmas no escopo do value-relevance, obtendo evidências ainda não contempladas na literatura acerca do mercado de capitais brasileiro. Destaca-se que a perspectiva financeira influencia fortemente a avaliação das firmas no tocante à dimensão ambiental. A empresa que realiza gastos ambientais e detém melhor condição financeira passa a ser mais bem avaliada e considerada economicamente interessante. O mesmo não ocorre com firmas em condição financeira inferior. O estudo possibilita demonstrar como a dimensão ambiental, não prioritária na visão do shareholder, poderá ser objeto de atenção de investidores, se o requisito condição financeira é atendido. O mercado monitora gastos ambientais a fim de avaliar muito mais a extensão dos efeitos derivados desses dispêndios na geração de fluxos de caixa futuros, e menos o comprometimento ambiental da empresa. A amostra reúne 52 empresas com ações negociadas na B3 S.A. no período 2009-2018, totalizando 252 observações. Foi usado o modelo proposto por Ohlson, adaptado seguindo a literatura, e operacionalizado em modelos POLS. Ademais, análises foram reproduzidas considerando-se o possível efeito moderador das medidas de folga financeira na proxy dos gastos ambientais. Os resultados indicam que os gastos ambientais contribuem para reduzir a avaliação das firmas, sinalizando para os investidores apenas custos econômicos futuros. Observou-se que a folga financeira constitui elemento importante na avaliação das firmas com gastos ambientais, e que, nas empresas com gastos ambientais e maior folga financeira, a avaliação foi superior à daquelas com menor folga financeira.

Published: May 2024

Resumo Esse estudo busca ampliar a discussão sobre a extensão na qual o turismo pode responder às expectativas socioeconômicas. Como em outras zonas costeiras, o estado de Alagoas tem priorizado a promoção turística, apesar da ocorrência de uma estação chuvosa que freia o desenvolvimento do seu principal tipo de turismo, de sol e praia. Neste contexto, o clima e o tempo são utilizados como pontos de referência para essa análise. Por intermédio de diversas fontes, foram identificadas nove narrativas relacionadas à estação chuvosa. As narrativas foram cruzadas com o Plano Estratégico para o Desenvolvimento Turístico de Alagoas 2013-2023, apontando que a estação chuvosa está mal refletida na política estadual. Para melhor abordar as limitações e demandas locais-regionais atuais, recomendações foram, assim, propostas. Além do escopo desse trabalho, a abordagem das narrativas provou ser útil para ampliar a consideração de valores e significados no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas, especialmente na relação ambiente-sociedade.
Does tourism policy consider climate? Exploring rainy season narratives on the Alagoas coast, Brazil
Authors: Bombana Briana , Martins Ivan Machado , Gaeta Juliana de Carvalho , Pereira Marcos Paulo Santos , Normande Iran Campello , Cerqueira Aline da Silva
Published: May 2024

Abstract This study aims to expand the discussion regarding the extent to which tourism can address socioeconomic expectations. Like other coastal regions, the state of Alagoas has prioritised tourism promotion, despite facing a rainy season that hinders its primary form of tourism, known as Sea, Sun and Sand tourism. We have based our assessment on climate and weather. Through various sources, we have identified narratives related to the rainy season. When crossing these narratives with the Alagoas Strategic Plan for Tourism Development 2013-2023, our findings revealed that the state’s policy inadequately addresses the impact of the rainy season. Consequently, we have proposed some recommendations to better align with current local-regional constraints and demands. Beyond the scope of this work, our narrative approach has proven valuable in expanding the consideration of values and meanings within the framework of public policy development, potentially fostering a more holistic understanding of the environment-society relationship.

Resumo Em sua Teoria das Necessidades, Maslow argumenta que no estágio de autorrealização o indivíduo teria valores B mais desenvolvidos, o que envolveria, entre outras características, a tendência a se dedicar principalmente a causas de interesse coletivo em detrimento de interesses individuais. Seria também na fase de autorrealização que o meio ambiente teria um valor intrínseco, aspecto importante se considerarmos a necessidade de desenvolver soluções para os problemas socioambientais. Nesse sentido, a Representação Social do meio ambiente teria relação com os diferentes estágios de necessidades propostos por Maslow em sua teoria? O estágio de autorrealização poderia revelar um indivíduo com uma representação globalizante do ambiente? Para responder a essas questões, foi realizado um estudo com 134 participantes adaptando e utilizando o instrumento Teste de Perfil de Motivação Ambiental e os resultados mostraram uma correlação significativa entre o estágio de autorrealização e uma representação globalizante do Meio Ambiente.
Groundwater in water scarcity context in the São Francisco River Basin (MG)
Authors: Carvalho Jeane Dantas de , Melo Marília Carvalho de , Galvão Paulo Galvão Paulo , Miranda Wezer Lismar , Lasmar Breno Esteves
Published: May 2024

Abstract In the last decade, water scarcity in Minas Gerais affected surface water availability, leading users to privilege the use of groundwater as an alternative source. The São Francisco River basin is one of the most important watersheds of the state, both for its spatial occurrence and for the preponderance of groundwater use. Due to water scarcity resulting from extreme drought events between 2009 and 2018, there was an increasing requirement trend for the licensing of groundwater abstractions. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the correlation between the increase in these requirements and periods of negative rainfall anomalies in relation to critical situations of water scarcity, defined by the State’s Normative Deliberation CERH/MG 49/2015. A direct relationship between negative rainfall anomalies and water scarcity and the increased need for groundwater use was observed, especially in the years between 2014 and 2018.

Definition of Sustainability Indicators Applicable to Educational Units
Authors: Souza Barbara Silva e , Souza Ricardo Gabbay de , Ferreira Arthur Bispo , Fiore Fabiana Alves
Published: May 2024

Abstract Education is one of the main tools to lead to sustainable development and, for it to happen, the school environment must become a reference capable of influencing the community. In Brazil, environmental education is expected to be carried out at all levels of education, but educational units are not evaluated for the effectiveness of the sustainable actions they perform. This work develops sustainability indicators applicable to educational units in the Brazilian territory. The quantitative-qualitative research was conducted based on the adaptation of consolidated sustainability tools, double-validated by a Survey with specialists in sustainability and education. The resulting model was structured around three axes: management, physical structure, and education for sustainability, and has indicators in categories and subcategories (levels 1 and 2). The model can support the development of an environmental certification instrument and guarantee the quality of education for sustainability in formal education.

Abstract Background: The increasing demand for organ donors and proficient experts is prompting fresh research endeavors aimed at clarifying societal perceptions and actions related to organ donation. Students from the healthcare area have been a focal point in these studies. Despite their favorable attitudes, a notable gap in knowledge among students has been underscored. Objective: To assess the level of knowledge, willingness, and attitudes toward organ donation among medical and nursing students in the city of Recife, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was undertaken, involving the examination of questionnaires that were answered by medical and nursing students during their last academic years. Results: Between February and December 2022, a total of 218 questionnaires were gathered, of which 208 were included in the final sample. Among the participants, 57.2% identified as male, with an average age of 24 ± 2.7 years. In terms of academic background, 85.1% were enrolled in medical school, while 14.9% were attending nursing school. A notable observation was that only 49% of the students were aware that the diagnosis of brain death does not necessarily require the involvement of a neurologist. Furthermore, a significant proportion of students (63%) were unfamiliar with the entity responsible for initiating discussions with the potential donor’s family. Interestingly, 92.3% of the students had contemplated the prospect of becoming organ donors themselves. If a family member were diagnosed with brain death, a significant majority of students, specifically 83.2%, expressed their willingness to grant consent for organ donation. Conclusions: Despite the positive attitudes, this study revealed insufficient knowledge among students, thereby underscoring the need for universities to expand their curricula and establish courses aimed at acquiring knowledge and skills related to brain death cases and actions related to potential donors.
INTERDISCURSIVITY, METAPHOR, AND POLARIZATION: HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE REPRESENTED IN THE EDITORIALS OF FOLHA DE S. PAULO
Authors: MENDONÇA Daniele Gruppi de , RESENDE Viviane de Melo
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the discursive representation of the homeless population in Folha de S. Paulo editorials between 2011 and 2020, using Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) and metaphor analysis as theoretical support. Editorials are texts that characterize the position of a newspaper, especially during significant and tension-filled moments for society, and are thus an essential object of investigation. The corpus of this article, part of a broader research work, comprises eight texts published over a decade. The analysis considers the following strategies and categories: ideological square (Van Dijk, 2015, 2017), interdiscursivity (Fairclough 2002, 2003), and metaphor analysis (Charteris-Black, 2004). The analyses indicate that the editorials build negative representations of the homeless population by favoring the forced displacement of the group, denying their rights, and disseminating discourses that contribute to the exclusion and naturalization of social inequality.

Published: May 2024

Resumo: O câncer é uma doença crônico-degenerativa, que tem como uma de suas principais características a capacidade de invadir tecidos e órgãos do corpo, favorecendo o crescimento desordenado de células. É uma doença que impacta fortemente a pessoa enferma e todos à sua volta, incluindo sua família e seus amigos. A partir desse cenário, este trabalho visou compreender a visão da criança e o impacto emocional sofrido diante do diagnóstico de câncer da mãe. Buscou-se avaliar, a partir de ferramentas lúdicas e do desenho-estória, o entendimento da criança em relação ao processo de adoecimento materno, tomando como base o referencial psicanalítico para reconhecer como ela lidou com a situação. Participaram desta pesquisa uma mulher de 39 anos com diagnóstico de câncer em remissão e seu filho de 9 anos. Os resultados demonstraram que o adoecimento materno causou impactos emocionais significativos e assustadores para o infante, gerando fantasias irreais relacionadas ao câncer e a si próprio. Dessa forma, considera-se de fundamental importância o cuidado estendido aos familiares do indivíduo doente, a fim de que se tenha um olhar a todos que sofrem diante desse contexto.
Credit Rating Agencies versus the ‘Pink Tide’: Lessons from the Experiences of Brazil and Argentina
Authors: Machado Pedro Lange
Published: May 2024

Abstract This paper examines the behaviour of credit rating agencies (CRAs) during the ebbing ‘pink tide’. It claims that the actions of S&P Global, Moody’s and Fitch contributed to dismantling left-wing regimes in Latin America, to the benefit of their right-wing competitors. The methodology draws on case studies of Brazil and Argentina, where the governments of Dilma Rousseff and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner were replaced by those of Michel Temer and Mauricio Macri, respectively. The research is based on sovereign ratings, reports and press releases the agencies issued during those transitions, which are analysed in the light of critical theories of their modus operandi and confronted with the political processes unfolding in both countries. This allows us to draw conclusions that are consistent with the presented argument, thereby contributing to advance the research agenda around the CRAs and to shed light on Brazil and Argentina’s recent critical presidential transitions.
ANALYSIS OF THE USER PAIRING NOMA SYSTEM OVER THE NAKAGAMI-M FADING CHANNEL CONDITIONS

Published: May 2024

The potential of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) as a multiple access strategy for 5G and LTE upgrades has attracted much attention. In this study, we examine user pairing in NOMA strategy for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) users. The simulation results for near-near (N-N)
and near-far (N-F) user pairing shames have been provided. The channel becomes time-selective after considering the node mobility situation. Furthermore, simulation curves demonstrate that adopting the user pairing approach reduces computing cost. The network's sum rate performance was further tested utilizing selection combining (SC) NOMA and time division for multiple access (TDMA). It
is shown that when a user nearest to the base station is linked with the farthest user from the base station,
the total sum rate dramatically increases. When the channel conditions between the two users are varied, the NOMA performs significantly better. The NOMA still surpasses TDMA in terms of sum rate when N-N and far-far (F-F) pairings are used, but the difference isn't significant. The SC-NOMA
has a low performance when compared to TDMA. It was discovered that when the shape parameter is
adjusted to two, the outage probability (OP) performance of three NOMA mobile users and a standard
orthogonal multiple access (OMA) mobile user improved (multipath propagation scenario).
The Role of Genetic Testing in Adult CKD
Authors: Knoers Nine V.A.M. , van Eerde Albertien M.
Published: May 2024

Mounting evidence indicates that monogenic disorders are the underlying cause in a significant proportion of patients with CKD. In recent years, the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in these patients has increased significantly as a result of revolutionary developments in genetic sequencing techniques and sequencing data analysis. Identification of disease-causing genetic variant(s) in patients with CKD may facilitate prognostication and personalized management, including nephroprotection and decisions around kidney transplantation, and is crucial for genetic counseling and reproductive family planning. A genetic diagnosis in a patient with CKD allows for screening of at-risk family members, which is also important for determining their eligibility as kidney transplant donors. Despite evidence for clinical utility, increased availability, and data supporting the cost-effectiveness of genetic testing in CKD, especially when applied early in the diagnostic process, many nephrologists do not use genetic testing to its full potential because of multiple perceived barriers. Our aim in this article was to empower nephrologists to (further) implement genetic testing as a diagnostic means in their clinical practice, on the basis of the most recent insights and exemplified by patient vignettes. We stress why genetic testing is of significant clinical benefit to many patients with CKD, provide recommendations for which patients to test and which test(s) to order, give guidance about interpretation of genetic testing results, and highlight the necessity for and essential components of pretest and post-test genetic counseling.

Salinity, which is one of the major abiotic stresses, prevails in mostly arid and semiarid areas that is nearly 20% of the world’s cultivated area. Excessive amounts of salt around the plant root zone are detrimental to vegetative growth and economic yield. Today salinization is still severely expanding and posing a great threat to the development of sustainable agriculture. Although eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is considered moderately sensitive, soil salinity mitigates strictly the growth and yield. Eggplant has significant crop wild relatives (CWRs) which are thought to be more tolerant to abiotic stresses and it is substantial to exploit their potential against salinity in hybrid breeding studies. It has previously been proven that Solanum incanum L. has tolerance to salinity stress. This study aimed to improve salinity-tolerant pure eggplant lines. Therefore, the acquired F2 population from interspecific hybridization between the pure line (BATEM-TDC47) with distinctive features from BATEM eggplant gene pool and S. incanum L., were subjected to salinity stress at 150 mM NaCl level with its parents and F1 plants. On the 12th day after the last salt treatment, the plants were evaluated using a 0-5 visual scale. Among the 256 stressed plants, 50 F2 individuals were determined to be salt tolerant. Additionally, some of their morphological and physiological features, such as shoot length, stem diameter, number of leaves, anthocyanin presence, prickliness, malondialdehyde (MDA), and proline levels, were studied and compared to the controls of their parent and F1 plants. Results showed that shoot length and stem diameter decreased dramatically under salt stress. According to the analysis, the average MDA and proline levels of the F2 population were identified as 10.9 µ mol g-1 FW and 8.4 µ mol g-1 FW, respectively. The distinguished 50 F2 plants that showed salinity tolerance were transferred to the greenhouse and self-pollinated to produce the F3 generation.
Organization of Budgetary Activities in the Federal Territories: Problems and Prospects of Legal Regulation
Authors: Pyatkovskaya Yulya
Published: May 2024

The article studies the organization of budgetary activities of federal territories as one of the main aspects of the legal regulation of the participation of federal territories in public financial activities. Based on the analysis of the provisions of the Federal Law «On the Federal Territory “Sirius”» and the amendments made to the budget legislation of the Russian Federation, the author concludes that in the absence of a general legislative act, governing the establishment of federal territories and the organization of their public authorities, the public finances of federal territories are regulated exclusively by budgetary legislation. This approach of the legislator is not able to ensure uniformity of the budgetary and legal status of federal territories in Russia. Attention is drawn to granting the federal territories a status equal to the financial and legal status of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which does not correspond to the position formulated in the conclusion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made on the necessity to determine the place of the federal territory budget in the budget system of Russia, which should be determined by the amount of powers entrusted to it, as well as more detailed regulation of budgetary powers of public authorities of federal territories.
