Published: March 2023

In this paper, it is proposed to lay the foundations for the implementation of a Photovoltaic Systems Interconnected onto Network Distribution Systems that benefits the marginalized population of the town of Xbilincoc, Campeche. Through Distributed Generation (DG) it will be possible to direct the electrical energy produced by this plant for its own consumption and / or sale to the electrical company denomined Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), depending on the analysis of consideration for services that is most convenient for the producers. The power generating plant will be managed by the fishing cooperative formed by the commissioner and the most active fishermen of the town and the economic resources necessary for its construction and commissioning will be through a financing mechanism granted by a governing body denomined Fideicomiso de Ahorro de Energía (FIDE) and when it has been paid in full, the economic benefits for families will be to ensure that the cost of their consumption of electric energy does not increase, and to strengthen the economic development of the town of Punta Xen by administering the resources obtained from the sale of electrical energy to the CFE.

Authors: Lucchini Marlon Luís , Sanfelice Gustavo Roese
Published: March 2023

O presente estudo, caracterizado como qualitativo, descritivo de revisão, objetiva analisar e investigar a inclusão social de pessoas com deficiência no lazer e a sustentabilidade ecológica por meio de uma revisão sistemática. Buscaram-se os principais trabalhos publicados no período de 2011 a 2022, nas bases de dados CAPES e Scielo. Foram realizadas a análise dos dados e a de conteúdos, para então criarem-se as categorizações, geradas pelos próprios artigos. Os resultados, de forma geral, mostraram que o lazer e a sustentabilidade ecológica desenvolvidos por pessoas com deficiência são pouco explorados. A falta de acessibilidade foi citada nas pesquisas como fator predominante, apesar do conhecimento do direito por lei aos espaços para essa prática. Observou-se que estudos futuros são de extrema importância para a compreensão da relevância do lazer na vida desses indivíduos e da sustentabilidade ecológica.
Torcida Organizada a Movimento Independente
Authors: Melo Renan de Quadro , Freitas Gustavo da Silva
Published: March 2023

Diante da polimorfia do torcer e das sociabilidades em torno do futebol, o texto propõe: a) conhecer como surgiu um agrupamento de torcedores na cidade de Rio Grande/RS enquanto núcleo de uma Torcida Organizada (TO) do Sport Club Internacional; b) identificar os motivos que fizeram com que a TO se transformasse em um Movimento Independente de torcedores colorados; e c) descrever e analisar os desdobramentos que essa transição provocou nos processos organizativos do agrupamento. Foram realizadas seis entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo três diretores e três membros mais antigos, as quais foram examinadas através da análise temática. Identificou-se que conflitos geracionais, busca de reconhecimento político e um processo de semiprofissionalização organizativa foram fatores que interviram na emergência e transição de núcleo para Movimento Independente e, por efeito, subjetivaram os modos de torcer dos integrantes.

Published: March 2023

O estudo analisa as apropriações acerca das configurações das competências na formação do bacharel em Educação Física (EF). A revisão sistemática foi ferramenta metodológica e após seleção dos dados chegamos a 13 artigos, na qual a análise dos dados aponta que, embora existam poucas publicações a respeito da temática das competências na educação superior, em EF, é um assunto que preocupa a muitos pelo descuido evidente quanto à materialização dos saberes em situação de prática. Reconhecemos certa negligência do âmbito do lazer e prevalência das competências relacionadas ao âmbito da saúde. Defendemos então um tratamento igualitário, isonômico e equivalente entre os âmbitos do lazer, do esporte e da saúde na formação das competências do bacharel em EF. A diversidade da formação precisa estar contemplada, atendendo às demandas exigidas pela sociedade, seja nos seus diferentes ambientes públicos e privados de trabalho.

Published: March 2023

Patterns of biogeographical distribution of gall-forming insects are well-studied around the world. Hygrothermally and nutritionally-stressed habitats usually support rich galling insect communities. However, studies on gall diversity in the dry chaco of South America are still lacking. This study aimed to describe the insect galls found in five areas in the Central chaco in the Province of Salta, Argentina: San Domingos, Salta Florestal, Las Lajitas, and two sites at the Estación Biológica Los Colorados. Twenty-nine morphospecies of galling insects were found in the five areas sampled. They occurred on 17 host plant species that belong to 10 families. The most attacked family was the Leguminosae (8 species), which supported 52% of the chaco galling fauna (15 species). Prosopis elata, P. nigra and P. roscefalia were the most attacked species, supporting 3 galling species each. Galls were predominantly induced by Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) (62.1%), which is consistent with the patterns found elsewhere in the world. The most speciose site for galling insects was in the Estación Biológica Los Colorados (14 morphospecies in site I and 11 morphospecies in site II), probably indicating the influence of the degree of land conservation on the biodiversity of gall-forming insects.
Bancos de DNA: coleções estratégicas para estudos da biodiversidade
Authors: Santos Fabrício R. , Guimarães Pedro E. M. , Redondo Rodrigo A. F.
Published: March 2023

Biodiversity, as considering its most fundamental subdivision, comprise all the genetic variability in every species. At this level, before the formal extinction of species, great part of its biodiversity has been already extinct in terms of genetic diversity.
For each species, it is believed that there is a minimum viable number of individuals, which must be large enough to keep alive the species, where their genetic biodiversity will be not eroded by evolutionary process such as endogamy and genetic drift. Thus, a diagnosis of genetic variability loss is the first symptom of a species extinction. However to quantify genetic diversity in a precise way it is needed some previous knowledge about the species genome in order to the development of protocols for detection of genetic variability which are mostly characteristic of each species.
The proposal of creation of DNA Banks envisage to set up strategic collections to increase the genomic knowledge about particular species, to allow studies of conservation genetics as well as comparative genomics, phylogeny and evolution or bioprospective studies for biotechnology industry. Today it is estimated that there is an enormous species biodiversity in Brazil that should also reflect in a colossal genetic biodiversity. The know-how acquisition of genetic analysis protocols and biotechnological exploration of our biodiversity is extremely important for our scientific and technological development. Recently, the Brazilian biodiversity has been target of biopiracy, particularly due to the interests of pharmaceutical industries. The only way to preserve our sovereignty on the Brazil’s biodiversity is to understand it in all levels: genes, species and ecosystems.

Observações sobre a reprodução do curiango, Nyctidromus albicollis (Gmelin, 1789), (Aves: Caprimulgiformes) no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil
Authors: Vasconcelos Marcelo Ferreira de , Figueredo Cleber Cunha , Carvalho Henrique Ávila , D’Angelo Neto Santos
Published: March 2023

Although the Pauraque, Nyctidromus albicollis (Gmelin, 1789), is a common and widespread nightjar species (Aves: Caprimulgiformes), its breeding biology is still poorly known. The aim of this study is to provide new data on the reproduction of this species in Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Five nests were found in the period of 1994–1998, between August and November. Eggs were laid directly on the leaf litter, measuring between 28.1–31.2 mm and 20.8–22.6 mm. All eggs had a pink-orange coloration with pink-brownish marks pattern. Both parents alternated on the nest during both incubation and brooding periods. New behavioral observations for the species are presented, such as the female’s “broken-wing” diversionary behavior and the male’s threat display during the incubation period. We found an increase in the proportion of distraction displays (including “broken wing” and threat) performed by adult birds, from the incubation period towards the nestling period. We observed movements performed by the nestlings on two nests. We suggest that more data regarding the reproduction of common bird species are needed, since they can provide valuable information on the avian behavioral and breeding biology.

Published: March 2023

Samples from the Campo Belo river located in the municipality of Itatiaia, RJ (22o28’S; 44o34’W), in different mesohabitats, registered the occurrence of 22 species, distributed in the following genera (number of species between brackets): Americabaetis (2), Aturbina (1), Baetodes (1), Callibaetis (1), Camelobaetidius (2), Cloeodes (1), Paracloeodes (2) (Baetidae); Leptohyphes (2), Leptohyphodes (1), Tricorythopsis (3), Tricorythodes (1) (Leptohyphidae), Farrodes (1), Massartella (1), Miroculis (1), Thraulodes (1); and Ulmeritoides (1) (Leptophlebiidae). From monthly quantitative collections, taken from October 1999 to September 2000, 3.175 specimens were obtained, 1.002 from the riparian vegetation, 785 from pool litter, 665 from the rocky substratum, 436 from the riffle litter and 287 from gravel/sand. The months with the highest number of individuals were November (595 individuals) and October 1999 (480 individuals). Species number collected in the studied site should be considered in a high degree in compare with other studies carried out in 3rd and 4th orders rivers in Brazil. This fact was probably produced due a most precise identification of the taxa, as a consequence of the recent improves of the taxonomic studies about Ephemeroptera in Brazil and South America.

Variação geográfica de Roeboexodon geryi (Myers) (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Characidae)
Authors: Lucena Carlos A. S. de , Lucinda Paulo H. F.
Published: March 2023

Populations of Roeboexodon geryi from Suriname, French Guiana, rio Xingu, rio Tapajós, and rio Tocantins in the Amazon region obtained from zoological collections were studied in order to verify the existence of undescribed species in the genus. However, although the results showed trends on differentiation between Surinam/French Guiana vs. Amazon basin relative to number of scales on lateral line, these were not diagnostic. The results of a Free-Size Canonical Variate Analysis also revealed trends on formation of distinct morphological groups, but did not revealed diagnosable populations which could be putative species. These local differences are therefore interpreted as geographical variations of a single species of the monotypic genus Roeboexodon.

Studies on plant phenology produce important insights about plant adaptations to climatic changes and its associated herbivore fauna. This study reports annual phenological variations in Guazuma ulmifolia (Malvaceae), correlating the timing of these phenological events with local climatic variables. The phenology of G. ulmifolia was studied in the COPASA Preservation Area, north of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, from June 2001 to June 2003. Twenty trees were systematically observed bimonthly for changes in six phenological phases: (1) flower buds, (2) flowering, (3) immature fruits, (4) mature fruits, (5) leaf fall and (6) leaf flushing. The flowering of G. ulmifolia did not show a consistent pattern during the study. In fact, only in 2002 a synchronism in flowering was evident, with flower buds occurring from August to November and flowers from August to December. Immature fruits occurred mostly from January to September and mature fruits were observed from May to December. Leaf fall showed a negative correlation with temperature and precipitation, indicating that it increases in the dry and cold season. Leaf flushing did not show an annual consistent cycle, but this phenological phase tended to occur mostly during the rainy season.
Biologia floral e polinização de Anemopaegma chamberlaynii Bur. & K. Schum. (Bignoniaceae).
Authors: Correia Maria Célia Rodrigues , Pinheiro Maria Célia B. , Lima Heloísa Alves de
Published: March 2023

The present work deals with the floral biology, reproductive system and phenological events of Anemopaegma chamberlaynii Bur. & K. Schum. (Bignoniaceae), in the coastal strand vegetation (restinga) of Maricá RJ., between 1997 and 2000. The flowers display daytime anthesis, are yellow, very attractive, tubulous, hermaphrodite, odoriferous and produce nectar as the floral reward. The nectar is secreted by a nectariferous disk and accumulated in a chamber. The stigmas are bifid, wet and papillous. The stigmatic lobes are receptive to pollen only on the inner surfaces and are sensitive to disturbance. If the stigma is touched but no pollen is deposited, the lobes close and soon reopen. The same occurs when self-pollen is deposited on the receptive surface. However, after manual pollination with cross-pollen the lobes close permanently, enabling to estimate levels of pollination by monitoring stigma closure. Euglossa cordata L., Epicharis dejeanii Lepeletier and E. semiflava Moure are potential pollinators. Xylocopa ordinaria Smith is the primary nectar robber. The species is self-incompatible and has a low fruit set (Fruit/Flower=4.86%). The flowering pattern is the “multiple bang”, showing five episodes per year, with the same intensity, all of them occurring in the most hot and rainy months.

Nests of Phacellodomus rufifrons (Wied, 1821) (Aves: Furnariidae) as sleeping shelter for a solitary bee species (Apidae: Centridini) in southeastern Brazil
Authors: Azevedo Alexsander A. , Faria Jr. Luiz Roberto R.
Published: March 2023

Sleeping shelters for male Centris (Trachina) fuscata Lepeletier, 1841 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Centridini) were found in nests of the ovenbird Phacellodomus rufifrons (Wied, 1821) (Furnariidae) in an area of Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, in September 2003. Each day, male bees departed from the shelter early in the morning, returning to them late in the afternoon. Interactions among males were aggressive when two or more males returned simultaneously to the shelter, and lasted until all of them had either occupied a shelter inside the nest stick-matrix or left the nest proximity. Nests occupied by bird families apparently were preferred by bees, as well as those located nearest to a massive food source, a flowering tree Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth, 1823 (Fabaceae). This note emphasizes a very uncommon type of sleeping shelter and its importance for bees.

Fragmentation and loss of forests is a global problem that negatively affects biological communities generating local extinction of species. Studies of communities in disturbed areas are important to provide information on new ensembles of birds that are established there. In 56 campaigns carried out during 1991-2002, 272 species of birds were recorded, belonging to 59 families. Five of the species are threatened and 43 endemic (21% of all the species endemic to the Atlantic Forest). The most abundant species were those related to disturbed habitats with the greatest species richness recorded in the mixed forest of laurel and guatambú with 142 species, the forest margins with 139 species and the human settlements with 133 species.

Communication style is intensely influential on customers' purchase probability, trust, satisfaction, perceived service quality, and perceptions of brand affection, competence, and attachment. Social interaction models tell us that when consumers engage in service interactions, they rely largely on the communication style of the service personnel to develop their evaluations in which they have little knowledge of service issues. The frontline service personnel represent the image of the organization. The perception of customers towards the organization is influenced by their experiences at the frontline. A poor service delivery experience by a customer influences the image of the organization as the customer may share his/her bad encounters with other people. So, it is important that the organization ensure the quality of frontline services to secure a positive image of the organization. The study suggests the need for employers to provide training to the staff to improve their communication skills and develop favourable attitudes.

من أهمّ الموضوعات اللغوية التي يتمّ دراستها على أساس الدلالات المعرفية هي نظرية الشبكة الشعاعية و التي تعدّ من أهم الموضوعات في اللغويات المعرفية. وفقاً لهذه النظرية، فإن المعنى له حالة مركزية تطوّرت منها معاني حقيقية أو مجازية أخرى. كان لهذه النظرية تأثير كبير على دلالات الألفاظ. في هذا المقال تمّت دراسة تأثير هذه النظرية على حروف الإضافة المكانية العربية في القرآن الكريم. في وصف هذه الكلمات من المهم جدّاً دراسة العلاقة الهندسية بين العنصر المتحرك و العنصر الثابت و العلاقة بينهما. في النهج المعرفي، فإن الإدعاء الرئيسي هو أن هناك علاقة متماسكة و منهجية بين معاني كل حرف الإضافة. في هذا النهج، يتمّ تمثيل معنى النموذج المبدئي كمخططات و تستمدّ المعاني الأخرى منه بآليات مثل الاستعارة و المجاز. في هذا البحث و بالطريقة الوصفية التحليلية تمّ تحديد معنى النموذج المبدئي لهذه الحروف و هي معاني مكانية، ثمّ شرحنا كيفية اشتقاق معاني زمانية و تجريدية موسعة أخرى لمعنى النموذج المبدئي. و أخيراً، قمنا برسم الشبكة الدلالية الشعاعية لكل حروف الإضافة و استنتجنا أن هناك علاقات منهجية بين المعاني المختلفة لكل هذه الحروف.
قيمة الجوار في ذهن الشاعر العربي القديم (دراسة موضوعية)
Authors: العكايشي زيد
Published: March 2023

عاش الشاعر العربي القديم في بيئة تحكمها مجموعة من القيم المتوافق عليها مدحا وذما، حتى غدت في بعض الأحايين ذات هيمنة على ذهنه اثناء البناء الموضوعي لنصه الشعري، بحيث لا يستطيع الهروب منها أو الانفكاك من هيمنتها عليه، كونها انصهرت بعقله الواعي أو اللاوعي الجمعي، ومن هذه القيم قيمة الجوار التي ابتدأت قيمة اجتماعية عرفية واجبة المراعاة عند كل عربي، ثم تحولت إلى اداة يستعملها الشاعر العربي في منتجه الأدبي. من هنا جاءت الرغبة في دراسة قيمة الجوار ذات الهيمنة على ذهن الشاعر العربي، عندما يمدح أو يهجو أو يفتخر، ومعرفة أسبابها ودواعيها، التي أصبحت عند عدد من الشعراء مرتكزاً أساسياً في البناء الموضوعي، فضلا عن تحويل النص الشعري إلى لوحة اخلاقية تحمل في طيتها سمات اجتماعية بطريقة فنية يكتب لها الحياة والسيرورة على ألسن أبناء المجتمع ، بحيث من الصقت به قيمة الجوار أضحى مقدما بين أبناء قومه ومدعاة للفخر له ولأبنائه.

Root-Finding , Analysis and Criticism of the Insults and Affronts of Ahl al -Bayt’s Opponents
Authors: Ākhund Muḥammad ʿAli , Shahy Mojtaba , Shahbāzī Sāmīyeh , Mousawi Seyyd Ahmad
Published: March 2023

Among the Shiite hadith sources, there is a saying that the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet (PBUH) were ordered to insult their opponents. This concept is found in the phrase: “We, the community of Banu Hashim, command our elders and our children to insult them and disavow them.” Kashi mentioned this saying for the first time in the fourth century AH in his book Al-Rijali, and until the twelfth century, no trace of this phrase could be found in novel books, until the twelfth century by news scholars in the books of the worlds of science, Bihar al-Anwar and Riyadh al-Anwar. Revealing it again from Rijal al-Kashi, with a slight difference. The hadith is turbulent, and this phrase is the saying of Sayed Al-Hamiri from the Kaisani sect and not from the infallible Imam. In addition, in the series of narrations, there are people like Nasr bin Sabbah, Ishaq bin Muhammad Basri, and Muhammad bin Jumhur Ammi among the ghulat. Since there is in the thinking of the Kisanis and extremists the phenomenon of cursing the opponents of the Ahl al-Bayt (), it is possible to judge the weakness and weakness in the phrase “We, the clans of Banu Hashim, order our elders and our children to insult them and disavow them.” In addition, the content of the phrase contradicts the verses of the Qur'an and the accounts of the infallible.
Extraction of Cu2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ Using 2-Aminophenol Modified Quecertin and Red Onion Skin Extract from Aqueous Medium
Authors: John Chukwu Uche , Amarachi Maduabuchi Doris
Published: March 2023

Red onion skin extract and quercetin dihydrate modified with 2-aminophenol were used as adsorbents to extract Cu2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ from their aqueous solutions. The unmodified and modified adsorbents were characterized using some physicochemical parameters such as melting point, solubility in different solvents, thin layer chromatography and FTIR. The FTIR revealed presence of various functional groups in the structure of modified and unmodified red onion skin extract and quercetin dihydrate. Extraction studies result showed that the maximum pH for metal removal is 3.30, 8.00 and 6.46 for Cu2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ respectively. The percentage removal and adsorption capacities of the metal ions increased with increasing contact time, dosage and metal ion concentration. Quercetin dihydrate-diazonium salt (QDDS) showed a higher percentage removal for Cu2+ (99.19 %) than Ni2+ and Zn2+ while Red onions skin extract- diazonium salt (ROSEDS) showed a similar percentage removal for Cu2+ (98.57%) > Ni2+ (84.51%) > Zn (66.86%). Heavy metal ions were removed in this order; Cu2+ (99.19%) > Ni2+ (87.64%) > Zn2+ (71.56%) using QDDS. The adsorption kinetic studies and isotherm studies indicated that Pseudo-second order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm model best describe the adsorption processes. Therefore, ROSEDS and QDDS have proven to be an effective adsorbent for heavy metal ions from waste waters and industrial effluents.

Published: March 2023

Task-based language methodology has drawn the attention of second language acquisition researchers and teachers across the globe. The notion of task is central to task-based language teaching. Comprehensive theoretical and empirical study has established its effectiveness in developing language skills. What makes this approach stands unique is the introduction of a task-based learning framework by Jane Willis in 1996. The procedural syllabus propounded by N.S Prabhu(1987) serves as the precursor to the TBL framework. This article aims to review the historicity, significance, and implication of adopting a task-based learning framework in learning and teaching the English language.
A Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) Analysis of English and Mandinka: Constrasting the on, at, in and káŋ, to, kóno Adpositional Phrases
Authors: SARR Mamadou Fall
Published: March 2023

This paper is about contrastively analyzing the on, at, in and káŋ, to, kóno adpositional phrases between English and Mandinka using the RRG theory. By using English secondary data, Mandinka primary data derived from interviews and some elicitation techniques that were carried out among native speakers, this article focuses its analysis on how the aforementioned adpositions are used in discourse to help locate referents in relation to reference points that either refer to space or time. In doing so, it has found some similarities and differences between the two languages as far as the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic interpretations are concerned. Two types of adpositions are distinguished in the two languages: predicative and nonpredicative adpositions. The adpositional phrases are then interpreted according to whether they are predicative or nonpredicative.
An Assessment of Activities Associated with the Rehabilitation of Children with Intellectual Disabilities in the Kumasi Metropolis

Published: March 2023

Background: Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by limitations in the intellectual functioning and resulting in the need for extraordinary supports for the person to participate in activities involved with typical human functioning (Wehmeyer, Schalock, Verdugo et al., 2008). Rehabilitation is therefore an essential aspect in the life of the person with a disability. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011), rehabilitation is a process that is aimed at enabling disabled persons reach and maintain their optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological and social functional levels. Special schools provide the rehabilitation needs by encompassing educational needs, rehabilitation services and integrated education (Kuyini 2014). Special education has proven to be instrumental in the provision of activities that will foster social development and to the maximum extent possible assimilation into regular schools and community activities (Smith 2007). Aim: To investigate the activities undertaken to rehabilitate children with intellectual disabilities in selected schools in the Kumasi metropolis. Methods: The study was undertaken at the Garden City Special School and Community Special Vocational School and employed the use of the descriptive design with a qualitative approach. A sample size of fifteen respondents were used, out of which nine (9) were teachers and six (6) were parents. The study made use of two sampling techniques to select the respondents. The sampling technique employed in the selection of teachers was the non-probable purposive sampling whereas the technique for selecting parents was the convenience sampling. Research data was collected by the use of an interview guide and the data collected was analysed using thematic content analysis. Findings: The study found out that the activities undertaken to rehabilitate the students with intellectual disabilities in the selected schools, had the underlying basis of promoting independent living and improving the social skills of children with intellectual disabilities relationships with people. Teachers therefore ensured that students were trained in the activities of daily living, communication skills, social skills, fine and gross motor skills, functional arithmetic, vocational skills and the concept of money. The study revealed that children with intellectual disabilities gained a substantial increase in their social interactions and their health. However, it was noted that the special schools faced some challenges that hindered their rehabilitation efforts and these included inadequate teaching and learning materials, lack of new facilities and inadequate and unskilled teachers. Conclusion: The special schools are very instrumental in improving the quality of life of persons with intellectual disabilities.
