Authors: Naim Arshi , Khan Shad Ahmad
Published: May 2023

Electronic commerce (E-com) is now adopted by most of the firms, especially after the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers are conscious of increasing online purchases and demand sustainable consumption friendly actions. This study aims to analyze the intellectual, conceptual, and social knowledge of consumer buying behavior in E-com research to generate new understandings for online consumer behavior. A survey on LinkedIn was conducted to measure the impact of E-com on consumer behavior and results are shown on Likert's five scale. The survey questions were closed ended and not specific to any industry or firm rather general questions to measure the impact of E-com on consumer buying behavior. The questions were based on factors of customer satisfaction, security, information quality, payment methods, shipping, time, and delivery services. Analysis shows a variation in types, factors, and method of consumer buying behavior in an online environment.

Published: May 2023

The proportion of the elderly population is increasing rapidly. This trend demands measures and actions that enable elderly people to stay active and self-sufficient as long as possible. However, in cities, elderly people are more vulnerable to climate change, and socioeconomic changes since most city environments are designed to support the working population. Therefore age-friendly living environments and facilities are necessary to promote active ageing. Sustainable cities and ageing populations have been researched widely as separate concepts, but these two have not been researched together. The paper provides a review of empirical research on sustainable cities and urban ageing by giving a special focus on challenges and opportunities for developing countries. The review identifies eight domains in age-friendly cities: (1) outdoor spaces and buildings; (2) transportation; (3) housing; (4) social participation; (5) respect and social inclusion; (6) civic participation and employment; (7) communication and information; and (8) community support and health services. Challenging areas include elderly labour force participation, elderly caring, social security, inclusive urban infrastructure, urban poverty, and peace and security. As a policy implication, collective efforts should be made to formulate policies and programmes to keep the active and productive elderly in the labour market, community development, and decision-making process.
Trans Palpebral Intraocular Pressure Measurement by Diaton Tonometer and Central Corneal Thickness in Eyes before and after Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy of Saudi Patients
Authors: Alzuhairy Sultan
Published: May 2023

PURPOSE:

The influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by Diaton is debatable. We present a correlation of CCT to transpalpebral IOP (tpIOP) and its determinants in patients undergoing transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TPRK) in Saudi Arabia.

METHODS:

In this cross-sectional study held in 2022, the IOP of patients undergoing TPRK was measured by Diaton tonometer. The CCT was measured before and 1 week after refractive surgery. The correlation coefficient of CCT and IOP and its Pearson P value were estimated. The effects of gender, type of refractive error (RE), and corneal epithelial thickness (CET) on the correlation of IOP to CCT were reviewed.

RESULTS:

We studied 202 eyes in 101 patients (Male: Female, 47:53; age 25.7 ± 5.8 years). The tpIOP was 15.1 ± 2.8 mmHg before, 15.9 ± 2.8 mmHg 1 week after, and 15.7 ± 4.1 mmHg 1 month after TPRK. The CCT was significantly correlated with tpIOP before surgery (Pearson correlation 0.168, P = 0.017) and after tPRK (Pearson correlation 0.246, P < 0.001). Gender (P = 0.96), CET (P = 0.43), and type of RE (P = 0.99) were not significant determinants of correlation between CCT and tpIOP before TPRK. The correlation of tpIOP and CCT was not affected by gender (P = 0.07), CET (P = 0.39), and type of RE (P = 0.13).

CONCLUSION:

CCT should be considered before interpreting tpIOP measured by with Diaton. Diaton could be a useful tool to monitor IOP changes in young patients undergoing refractive surgery.

Published: May 2023

An 8-year-old male child who underwent an anterior approach left upper lid levator resection to correct congenital ptosis. After 6 months, he developed mechanical ptosis secondary to a painless cystic mass on his upper lid. Magnetic resonance proved a postseptal circumscribed cystic mass. The lesion was excised and a histopathology examination confirmed a conjunctival inclusion cyst (CIC). CIC is common benign lesions of conjunctiva but rarely detected as a complication of levator muscle surgery.

Authors: Almakadma Abdul Hakim , De Vol Abdelkarim , Alabdaljabar Mohamad S. , Aldosari Sarah , Muhsen Ibrahim , AlFreihi Omar , Kurdi Amr , Almadi Majid , Alsohaibani Fahad
Published: May 2023

Background:

The use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) has been embedded in populations for decades. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of their usage among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and their association with adherence to conventional therapies.

Methods:

In this cross sectional, survey-based study, IBD patients’ (n=226) adherence and compliance were evaluated using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8. A control sample of 227 patients with other gastrointestinal diseases was included to compare trends of CAM use.

Results:

Crohn’s disease represented 66.4% of those with IBD, with a mean age of 35 ± 13.0 years (54% males). The control group had either chronic viral hepatitis B, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Celiac disease, or other non-IBD diseases, with a mean age of 43.5 ± 16.8 years (55% males). Overall, 49% of patients reported using CAMs (54% in IBD group and 43% in the non-IBD group, P =0.024). Across both groups, the most used CAMs were honey (28%) and Zamzam water (19%). There was no significant association between the severity of the illness and use of CAMs. Patients who used CAMs had a lower adherence to conventional therapies vs. those who did not use CAMs (39% vs. 23%, P =0.038). Using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8, low adherence to medications was reported in 35% of the IBD group vs. 11% of non-IBD group (P = 0.01).

Conclusion:

In our population, patients with IBD are more likely to use CAMs and are less adherent to medications. Furthermore, the use of CAMs was associated with a lower adherence rate to conventional therapies. Consequently, further studies assessing the causes associated with the use of CAMs and nonadherence to conventional therapies should be explored and interventions designed to mitigate nonadherence.

The Tower of Babel or Ivory Tower? The Reception of Western Translation Research in Russian-Language Translation Studies – a Reconnaissance
Authors: Kaźmierczak Marta
Published: May 2023

The aim of this article is to survey which texts and authors representing Western translation studies have been translated into Russian over the last seven decades and to describe the dynamics of the emergence of these translations as well as possible agendas behind their selection. It also traces, on a partial corpus, to what extent Russian translation scholars tend to cite and quote Western ones. The findings lead to a tentative conclusion that so far TS knowledge has been transferred mainly by unfrequent references to original publications and by way of mediated accounts (reviews, textbook summaries), while translations of particular studies have only recently begun appearing on a wider scale, their impact as yet uncertain.
For a New Reading of Sorana Gurian’s Literary Work According to Her Unpublished Manuscripts
Authors: Krupa Tomasz
Published: May 2023

Pour une mise en ligne sur Épisciences.

In considering how to propose a new reading of the writing of Sorana Gurian (1913-1956), a French- and Romanian-language Jewish writer, I will refer to some of her forty-one unpublished texts, including thirty-seven poems and four prose texts, preserved in manuscript or typescript form. These documents have never been discussed or even mentioned in the research on this writer until December 2020. The analysis of this material in the context of Gurian’s writing as a whole allows, in my opinion, to enrich the interpretation of her main texts: her literary drafts, for which I will use the term “pre-text”, give direct access to her creative process, as they contain elements that she will later include in her published texts. Thus, I will present her literary work in a retrograde manner, i.e. through manuscripts and typescripts, so that I can show the importance of some of these unpublished texts, despite their secondary or unofficial character due to their draft status.

Pour réfléchir aux moyens de proposer une nouvelle lecture de l’œuvre de Sorana Gurian (1913-1956), une écrivaine juive d’expression française et roumaine, seront mentionnés dans cet article certains de ses quarante-et-un textes inédits, dont trente-sept poèmes et quatre textes en prose, conservés sous forme de manuscrits ou de tapuscrits. Ces documents n’ont jamais été commentés, ni même mentionnés, dans les recherches sur cette écrivaine jusqu’en décembre 2020. L’exploitation de ce matériau replacé dans le contexte de l’ensemble des écrits de Gurian permet, selon moi, d’enrichir l’interprétation de ses textes principaux : ses esquisses et essais littéraires, pour lesquels je vais utiliser le terme d’« avant-texte », donnent un accès direct au processus créatif, car on y retrouve des éléments qu’elle inclura par la suite dans ses textes publiés. Ainsi, je vais présenter son œuvre littéraire de manière rétrograde, c’est-à-dire par l’intermédiaire des manuscrits et tapuscrits, pour établir l’importance considérable de quelques-uns de ces textes inédits malgré leur caractère secondaire ou officieux, lié à leur statut de brouillon.

The descriptive and analytical approach based on the questionnaire, verified for its validity and reliability, is used to achieve the goals. The results indicated that the overall score towards the reality of using modern teaching strategies was medium. The results also showed no statistically significant differences in employing modern teaching strategies due to a variable (gender, workplace, specialization). The presence of statistically significant differences in teaching due to the experience years' variable number and the variable of academic qualification in favor of scientific qualification (Ph.D.). From the instructors' view of the instructors, the most used teaching strategies in the architectural design in the Faculties of Engineering in Palestinian Universities are Discussion strategy, critical thinking, Brainstorming strategy, and direct teaching strategy. Programmed instruction and Intensive course strategies are considered the least used.
Modeling Affective Response to Interactive Feedback in STEM Education E-learning Activities
Authors: Carranza Rogerio Brenda , Yan Yu , Cooper Eric Wallace
Published: May 2023

The growing integration of technology into education, particularly in the STEM fields, has tended to focus on its objective advantages, ignoring its affective potential. To explore this potential, based on some principles of Kansei/Affective Engineering, an initial analysis was conducted considering 501 interventions in a conversation among six students about a previous e-learning experience. The analysis revealed the need for personalized feedback, a self-adapted pace, and the possibility to express. Based on the identified needs, three activities (applets based on dynamic reasoning and contextualized in the movement of the Sun) were designed to explore the affective value of the tool through the feedback it provided. Thirteen engineering students at a Japanese university participated in the experiment and the results were analyzed considering the type (task-focus/constructivist, self-focus/motivational) and purpose of the feedback, as well as some indicators based on the Instructional Feedback Orientation Scale. The model constructed for each student revealed that those who attributed a higher value to feedback showed a greater relation between the purpose of the feedback received and the reaction selected (completion-positive, correction-negative). Furthermore, it was found that the proposed model can inform future designs based on the potential of the feedback to promote positive reactions.
Gamification: The Experiences of International Baccalaureate (IB) Teachers shared
Authors: Sandoval Scott , Lamb Jodi A.
Published: May 2023

With the changes in the educational landscape, holding students’ attention has become an even more crucial point. Educators are having to find creative ways and means to engage students and make learning ‘fun’. There have been numerous research studies to show that gamification can be used to drive student engagement, achievement, and reinforce expectations of classroom behavior. These three areas have been important in the International Baccalaureate (IB) world. The need for the reinforcement of expected behaviors has been a noted area in the most recent executive summary; teachers are struggling to implement Approaches to Learning (ATL) in their daily curriculum. ATL skills include communication, self-management, and organization. Classcraft, a gamification system, can help to reinforce these skills daily driving academic success and student engagement. Gamification is not being adopted by teachers and college-level professors. The concerns and resistance are connected to time, beliefs surrounding gamification, and lack of training/knowledge. This research project set out to shine more light on gamification and its implementation into the classroom. By measuring the experiences of teachers through a mixed-methods process, the importance of professional learning and implementation was shown to be important for teacher adoption.

Authors: Acikgoz Bedriye , Akman Ozkan
Published: May 2023

Changing developments in the 21st century have also affected technology and the epistemological beliefs of teachers. For this purpose, the epistemological beliefs and Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) levels of primary school teachers and social studies teachers, gender, age, professional seniority, educational status, branch variables, and the relationship between epistemological belief and TPACK were examined in this study. The study group of the research consists of primary school teachers working in public primary school and social studies teachers working in public secondary schools in the provinces and districts of Istanbul, Antalya and Isparta. The selection of the study was made with the appropriate sampling method, which is one of the non-accidental sampling methods. 178 primary school teachers and 48 social studies teachers participated in the research. Independent sample t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used in data analysis. According to the results obtained from the research, both primary school and social studies teachers have a high level of belief in the sub-dimension of effort. It was observed that both primary school teachers and social studies teachers had high TPACK levels. Considering the epistemological belief scale, no significant difference was observed according to the age, education level and professional seniority of the primary school teachers. There was no significant difference in social studies teachers according to the gender variable. According to the results obtained from the TPACK scale and its sub-dimensions, a significant difference was observed in terms of gender and professional seniority of primary school and social studies teachers. A low level of positive correlation was found between the effort scores of the primary school teachers and TK, CT, TPK, TCK and TPACK total scores.
Teachers’ Capability, Students’ Motivation and Parents’ Support in Online Learning
Authors: Kaphle Usha , Rana Karna
Published: May 2023

This study examines how primary teachers developed online education and how parents helped their kids learn from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. To investigate the experiences and subjective perceptions of online classrooms, we used semi-structured online interviews with teachers, parents, and students. The data gathered through the observation of online classes crystalized the interview data. The results of this study showed that teachers struggled to handle online learning due to their insufficient information and communication technology (ICT) knowledge and skills, unstable internet, and a lack of administrative support. Students' engagement in interactivities rose as a result of teachers' ongoing efforts to improve their online pedagogies. Because of the teachers' efforts to administer online classes during the pandemic, students were able to continue their learning at home. To ensure that everyone receives an equal education, online learning is a viable alternative to traditional classroom settings.
El papel de la filosofía en los diálogos de Casicíaco
Authors: Morillo Rey Pablo Antonio
Published: May 2023

Para comprender íntegramente los diálogos redactados por San Agustín en la villa de Casicíaco, se hace necesario e imprescindibleentender previamente cómo se relacionan con las obras filosóficas que -ya anteriormente- había escrito Marco Tulio Cicerón. Así, podemos apreciar que el Contra Academicos agustiniano constituye una clara respuesta al Academica ciceroniano, o también el De beata vita al De finibus y Tusculanae disputationes. Asimismo, su De ordine lo será a la trilogía de obras que el Arpinate elabora sobre la providencia: De natura deorum, De divinatione y De fato. Por otra parte, numerosos autores también señalan sus Soliloquios como un “nuevo diálogo de Casicíaco”, en donde el maestro de Hipona y la razón establecen una “edificante y sólida conversación”. Sin embargo, no está pensado para constituir una respuesta a ningún escrito ciceroniano en concreto.

Does Gender Equality Influence Climate Change in Emerging Market Economies?
Authors: Sahoo Bhagaban , Sahoo Manamani , Sahoo Auro Kumar
Published: May 2023

This study examines the role of gender equality in CO2 emissions for a panel of six emerging market economies over the period of 1990-2019. The results of cointegration and causality analysis reveal that income inequality, economic growth and energy consumption contribute to environmental degradation, while gender equality helps to reduce it. Though Kuznets’ hypothesis is confirmed, promoting gender equality on the natural environment is nullified in the presence of income inequality and economic growth.

Published: May 2023

The main phytosanitary problem of commercial bananas is black Sigatoka (BS; Mycosphaerella fijiensis), which causes damage to leaf area, loss of exportable quality, and low yields. The management of BS with mixtures of four systemic fungicides in different combinations in the border and central area of three banana plantations, and its effect on the severity of this disease were evaluated. The study was carried out in Ecuador, province of El Oro, Pasaje canton, at the ‘‘El Playón’’, ‘‘Mega Impulso’’ and ‘‘Lolita’’ farms; in an area of 5 hectares of the Williams cultivar with 10 years of production, 50 plants were selected in the vegetative phase in the borders and center of the plantation, four treatments were evaluated: T1 (Triazole+Amine), T2 (Pyrimethanil+Spiroxamine), T3 (Difenoconazole+Amine) and T4 (Amine+Pyrimethanil) and three replicates, with four applications every 14 days. Severity was assessed for 10 weeks using the Stover scale. The experimental design was a randomized block design and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The greatest fungicidal effect was achieved in ‘‘El Playón’’, the severity for leaf 4 in the border area was 37.5 % and 38 % in the center. On leaf 5, ‘‘El Playón’’ 55 %, ‘‘Mega Impulso’’ 60 %, and ‘‘Lolita’’ 72.5 % reached a severe value. The highest average number of functional leaves was obtained in ‘‘Mega Impulso’’ and the highest average number of old leaves free of streaks in ‘‘Lolita’’. The fungicides applied controlled BS, due to the low percentages of disease severity.

Para que essas mudanças ocorram efetivamente, não basta só a inserção do Programa dentro das instituições escolares, é necessário um conjunto de fatores e parcerias para que este funcione e dê resultados positivos para a escola, pois é isso que se espera de uma política pública a eficiência e eficácia desta, para resolver ou sanar os problemas sociais. A escola precisa redimensionar o seu pensar e o seu papel no meio social, com esse papel definido a escola consegue trabalhar as questões problemáticas que a atingem, como a violência escolar. A violência escolar vem aumentando na medida em que não se tem iniciativas eficientes e eficazes para combatê-la. É necessário que haja mudanças no meio social, escolar, familiar, e de formação da identidade das nossas crianças e dos nossos jovens, para assim conseguirmos retirar esse problema de nossa sociedade. Os resultados desta pesquisa ocorreram através de aplicação de questionários e realização de entrevistas feitas com gestores, coordenadores pedagógicos, professores, alunos e funcionários em geral e análise de dados de registros da coordenação pedagógica. Para entendermos melhor sobre o tema, foi agregada as percepções dos autores como: Paulo Freire, Abramovay, Charlot, Silva, Ferreira, Garcia, Bellen, Souza, Minayo, Godoy, Cardoso e Salles, entre outros que associados a suas ideias interligam as discussões acerca do tema. Durante a pesquisa, foi observado que as três escolas possuem dificuldades em executar o Programa de forma efetiva, houve a falta de acompanhamento e apoio por parte a SEED.

Vivemos, sem dúvida, um dos momentos mais duros da história do país – e talvez do mundo. As consequências da crise econômica de 2008 ainda são vividas no mundo inteiro, gerando crises nas mais diversas democracias e reconfigurações em termos da qualidade das políticas públicas, e a pandemia do novo coronavírus, que já dura mais de um ano, acentuou a crise em todas as esferas.
O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE) se insere nesse contexto de diversas formas. Nas nossas disciplinas, ao lado das discussões teóricas, refletimos sobre as questões estruturais, as particularidades do cenário atual e as perspectivas de futuro. Nos grupos de pesquisa, aprofundamos temáticas já trabalhadas e aos poucos vamos relacionando-as também com a conjuntura atual. A produção científica, teórica, empírica, tem muito a contribuir para a compreensão do que está acontecendo e para o apontamento de saídas. No campo das Políticas Públicas isso é ainda mais evidente, o que nos traz uma responsabilidade enorme.
No número 5 da Revista Inovação e Tecnologia Social trazemos uma diversidade de temas e pesquisas, ainda relacionadas sobretudo aos desafios do período anterior à pandemia, que ofertam luz sobre a realidade das políticas públicas no Brasil e constroem bases importantes para seguir avançando na busca por políticas públicas que deem conta do desafio da promoção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária para todas e todos. Neste volume discutimos temas relacionados à educação, saúde, cultura, acessibilidade, políticas de acolhimento para mulheres e planejamento urbano.

A discussão proposta e advinda de intensa pesquisa e investigação versa sobre a problemática e o contexto social que circunscreve o cenário de insegurança, da mesma forma que aborda as políticas públicas de segurança e de justiça propostas pelo Estado na intenção de aplacar tal situação. Desta feita, propõe-se neste trabalho, a discussão acerca das tendências punitivas do Estado e sua economia penal. De modo mais específico, objetivou-se investigar como se formou o contexto materializado em altos índices de violência, bem como, houve a tentativa de problematizar as ações do Estado relativas ao enfrentamento da problemática da violência. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com autores de grande relevância teórica que discutem a temática em questão, a fim de que fosse possível se aproximar de forma crítica da realidade brasileira concernente à economia penal em voga. Como principais resultados, foi possível perceber que o contexto de (in)segurança está atrelado a uma configuração estatal de insegurança econômica, de modo que, a falta de preparo do Estado para proporcionar um bem estar generalizado à sua população contribui para a elevação nos índices de insegurança e, além disso, em suma, é possível perceber que as estratégias do Estado de enfrentamento da criminalidade não contemplam o contexto apresentado, de modo a se encaixar em uma economia penal com caráter de exceção, que deve ser pensada criticamente.

A problemática do acesso à justiça vem sendo estudada por pesquisadores dos vários ramos do saber: sociólogos, cientistas políticos, historiadores e juristas e se constitui num assunto intrigante para as discussões sobre políticas públicas. Entretanto, é necessário alargar o foco da compreensão do acesso à justiça, para torná-lo um direito efetivo e não apenas um direito formal. Por isso, aqui se sustenta a compreensão de acesso à justiça como acesso dos cidadãos à ordem jurídica justa. Neste sentido, o acesso à justiça constitui um dos pilares do Estado Democrático de Direito para construção da cidadania, pois ele pode ser considerado o mais básico de todos os outros direitos sociais.

A música, sua construção por meio da cultura e as relações que as políticas educacionais influenciam na aprendizagem e na formação da cidadania estão intimamente interligadas. A educação pode ser um processo participativo em que o ser humano adquire conhecimentos a partir da interação com os outros e com o entorno. O ato de aprender envolve tanto processos pessoais como sociais. E a musicalidade, a cultura e as políticas educacionais fazem uso desses processos bem como respondem muitas perguntas das quais se persegue na pesquisa. Este estudo investiga as contribuições da Educação Musical através de metodologias, práticas docentes e clima organizacional. Buscou-se, como objetivo geral investigar as contribuições da Educação Musical Pública para a formação da cidadania a partir de um estudo de caso com os atores envolvidos no Centro de Educação Profissional em Música Walkíria Lima. A pesquisa possui abordagem metodológica de natureza qualitativa, de cunho exploratório e descritivo, na forma de estudo de caso, caracterizada a partir das proposições de Gil (2002), Yin (2001), Chizzotti (2006) e, Bogdan e Biklen (1994), com utilização da pesquisa documental e entrevista semiestruturada como técnicas de coletas de dados, seguidas da análise documental e análise de conteúdo. O currículo demonstrou a reprodução das disciplinas historicamente estudadas nesta instituição, confirmando a hipótese inicial para o estudo: de que o habitus conservatorial está presente no centro de música e na metodologia aplicada em sala de aula, atualizando-se no subcampo da formação musical e que este habitus influenciou o processo aprendizagem do aluno egresso do Centro de Música. Houve tentativas de rompimento com a tradição conservatorial, por meio da atenção dada à música popular, música folclórica e à educação básica. Contudo, a presença da tradição é muito intensa na estrutura do currículo desta formação musical, o que acabou refletindo no perfil do professor, nos temas das práticas instrumentais e vocais, acervo bibliográfico e metodologias aplicadas ao ensino da música, produzindo uma estrutura semelhante a dos conservatórios.

O Distrito na Estrutura Político-Administrativa Brasileira: Gestão Municipal no Distrito de Fazendinha, aborda as relações de poder e suas representações presentes na escala distrital enquanto subdivisão municipal na estrutura político-administrativa brasileira, toma como elemento de referência as relações presentes no exercício de poder do Distrito Municipal de Fazendinha no Estado do Amapá, localizado a 16 quilômetros da Capital Macapá. A investigação teve por objetivo verificar como o Município de Macapá direciona ações para a realização de políticas públicas com vistas ao atendimento às demandas dentro do Distrito de Fazendinha, a partir da relação de poder desenvolvida pelo Agente Distrital. A pesquisa seguiu-se pelo caminho do estudo de caso, dentro de uma perspectiva aos moldes do método descritivo e explicativo, com abordagem qualitativa, discutindo as relações de descentralização e práticas de autoridade político-administrativa. As ferramentas aplicadas na coleta de dados foi a pesquisa de campo, entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas e aplicação de questionário, uso de fontes secundárias, pesquisas bibliográficas em livros e Internet. Além, da garimpagem in locum de informações junto aos órgãos e departamentos da Prefeitura de Macapá. Ao final da discussão, entende-se que ainda é preciso avançar em relação à gestão municipal em nível distrital, e criar condições que favoreçam a descentralização enquanto política pública e estimule a participação popular como um elemento essencial no direcionamento das demandas prioritárias no âmbito distrital, assim como propiciar a efetivação de uma representação comunitária que possa se apresentar enquanto ente público detentor de prerrogativas institucionais capazes de deliberar efetivamente diante dos anseios da comunidade, junto ao prefeito do Município de Macapá.
