Valorização Social dos Percursos da Vida em Tempos de Alta Retórica do Idadismo
Authors: COSTA ARTUR PEREIRA QUINTEIRO , Detmering Edilza Maria Medeiros
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo traz uma reflexão acerca do processo de envelhecimento humano em diversas sociedades, e discute a construção social do fenômeno da ‘velhice’. Este fenômeno adquire significado e valor social diferentes nas várias sociedades, ou numa mesma sociedade em épocas diversas. Discute-se aqui se a valorização do processo de envelhecimento biológico de forma pejorativa acarreta segregação e exclusão social, situação caracterizada como ‘idadismo’ (CASTRO, 2015). A partir das contribuições seminais de Goldenberg (2021), Debert (2010), Foucault (2008) e Dumont (1983), analisa-se a valoração da pessoa humana ao atingir a chamada ‘terceira idade’. O idadismo, muito presente em discursos políticos no momento de pandemia por Covid-19, pode ser percebido até mesmo em grupos sociais nos quais o respeito à pessoa idosa aparece como uma das marcas mais fortes.Palavras-chave: Idadismo; Envelhecimento; Juventude. AbstractThis article presents a reflection on the human aging process in different societies and discusses the social construction of the ‘old age’ phenomenon. This phenomenon acquires diverse meanings and social values in different societies or in the same society at different times. It is discussed here whether valuing the biological aging process in a pejorative way leads to segregation and social exclusion, a situation characterized as ‘ageism’ (CASTRO, 2015). Based on the seminal contributions of Goldenberg (2021), Debert (2010), Foucault (2008) and Dumont (1983), the valuation of the human person upon reaching the 'third age' is analyzed. Ageism, very present in political speeches in times of the pandemic by Covid-19, can be perceived even in social groups in which the respect for the elderly people appears as one of the strongest marks.Keywords: Ageism; Aging; Youth.

Trauma e testemunho em Grama, de Keum Suk Gendry-Kim: um quadrinho sobre as mulheres de conforto
Authors: Duarte Daniel Soares , Bortt Moreira Leticia Chrisostomo
Published: December 2024

Este texto tem como objetivo ser uma reflexão que parte da história em quadrinhos sul-coreana Grama, de Keum Suk Gendry-kim, publicada no Brasil em 2020. A HQ apresenta o relato de uma “mulher de conforto”, termo amenizado para designar as jovens coreanas, chinesas e japonesas que foram capturadas pelo exército japonês para servir como escravas sexuais aos soldados desse império, da Segunda Guerra sino-japonesa até os anos da 2ª Grande Guerra. A obra é pensada a partir do contexto da onda coreana de produtos de cultura popular, que usam instrumentos narrativos de profunda emotividade para cativar o público leitor. No caso em questão, são ressaltados as condições de sofrimento das mulheres sob três tipos de opressão: do patriarcado, da pobreza, da guerra. Do sofrimento, pode-se avaliar a intersecção entre guerra e trauma presente nos relatos não só da personagem principal, mas também de outras mulheres de conforto, que se faz tanto temática quanto formalmente na HQ. Trata-se de um sofrimento ainda silenciado e abafado na história mundial.
Thor, quadrinhos e o ensino da beleza e a justiça de Platão
Authors: Silva Renis Ramos , Weschenfelder Gelson
Published: December 2024

Este texto tem uma proposta sobre o uso dos quadrinhos para abordagens de ensino mostrando a relações do público que consome esse produto com a leitura, literatura, arte, história e o exercício do filosofar, principalmente pelo mito e a mitologia. O exercício do filosofar dialoga sempre com outra pessoa. Os conceitos que descrevem a perfeição e de como podemos compreender essa perfeição. Todos estes conceitos podem surgir em narrativas, como os clássicos realizavam, e aqui, fazemos pela figura mitológica de Thor nos quadrinhos. Utilizar Thor da Marvel Comics mesmo sendo um deus do panteão nórdico, representa muito bem a Beleza e o Belo, sendo seu martelo Mjölnir o símbolo da Justiça. Mas, como podemos falar da Beleza, do Belo e da Justiça descrito por Platão utilizando um personagem dos quadrinhos em sala de aula? E, sendo o personagem do panteão nórdico? Estaríamos empobrecendo a filosofia? Reduzir uma obra, conceitos e virtudes da filosofia platônica à mimeses seria correto? Responderemos cada uma dessas perguntas no decorrer deste trabalho. Falaremos utilizando o modelo platônico literário que ainda é utilizado em vários livros, textos filosóficos, científicos e em obras gráfico-literárias como os quadrinhos.

Reconstructing Indonesia’s Trademark Registration System through the Lens of General Principles of Good Governance to Realize Substantive Justice
Authors: Masnun Muh. Ali , Prasetio Dicky Eko , Awang Mohd Badrol , Sulistyowati Eny
Published: December 2024

The constitutive or first-to-use system in trademark registration in Indonesia actually creates problems, particularly in failing to meet substantive justice aspects in trademark registration. This is because the constitutive or first-to-use system only provides protection for registered trademarks. This research aims to analyze and reconstruct a trademark registration system that accommodates the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB). This study provides a novel perspective by integrating the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) with Indonesia's trademark registration system, offering a unique approach to enhance substantive justice in trademark law. The research highlights the need for reform in the Indonesian trademark registration process, which can guide policymakers and legal practitioners in improving the accuracy and fairness of trademark protection, thereby reducing disputes and enhancing the protection of intellectual property rights. This research is normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. The research results confirm that the "first to file" system in trademark registration in Indonesia has undermined substantive justice because it only provides legal protection when a trademark has been registered. The urgency to make AUPB a guideline in the trademark registration process is oriented so that the DJKI trademark registration process can prioritize aspects of accuracy and prudence. Reconstructing a trademark registration system model that embodies substantive justice can be done by not applying the constitutive system absolutely but rather relatively by accommodating developments in trademark registration practices. This application needs to be combined with the general principles of good governance to create a fair and effective system in protecting trademark rights and realizing substantive justice.
Fixation of tibial plateau fracture – risk factors for developing infection: a narrative review
Authors: Franulic Nicolas , Muñoz Jose Tomas , Pineda Tomas , Laso Jose , Olivieri Rodrigo , Schröter Steffen
Published: December 2024

Fracture-related infection (FRI) after tibial plateau open reduction and fixation is a common complication that leads to catastrophic sequelae and substantial economic costs, making prevention paramount.

To facilitate an appropriate approach, it is useful to classify risk factors based on patient-related factors, injury-related factors, and management-related factors.

Patient-related factors like smoking have a great amount of evidence establishing their relation with FRI. Diabetes and obesity might be associated, but evidence is somewhat conflicting. Nevertheless, smoking cessation and a multidisciplinary approach for these pathologies are essential to prevent FRI.

Injury-related factors like high-energy fractures and acute compartment syndrome have compelling evidence relating them to FRI and must be acknowledged as inherent factors. While the exposure of the fracture has been associated with infection, open fractures are yet to be confirmed as directly related to FRI in tibial plateau fractures. Likewise, early antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical debridement are mandatory.

As for management-related factors, increased surgical time emerges as a strong predictor for FRI. Evidence regarding the number of surgical approaches and plates shows a trend toward an increase in FRI prevalence. With respect to external fixator installation and removal, pin-plate overlapping is yet to be confirmed or ruled out as risk factors.

The paper examines demonstrative magnetic-semiconductor pulse generators (MSPGs), including their improved assemblies and a unipolar current voltage regulator. The advantages are given: MSPGs -1 with a modernized DC/AC input unit; MSPGs -2 with a throttle output unit for the formation of single-stroke pulses; MSPGs -3 with a transformer output unit for the formation of single-cycle pulses in comparison with known analogues, in which unipolarization of bipolar pulses is carried out at their high-voltage output using numerous semiconductor devices (MSPGs -SD). It was established that the reliability of MSPGs -2 and MSPGs -3 is, at least, an order of magnitude greater than the reliability of MSPGs -SD. In addition, with the help of MSPGs -SD, it is impossible to implement functions related to galvanic isolation, synchronization of loads, simplification of load protection and uncomplicated matching of MSPGs -SD with low-resistance and capacitive loads. It is shown that the AC voltage regulator is able to regulate the voltage on the load from zero to the maximum value, block the load, divert unused electricity, process pulses from nanosecond to millisecond ranges. As a result, materials were obtained for the further processing of the generalized complex synthesis for the improvement of the above-mentioned devices and other impulse devices of power electronics.

THEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE QURAN: AN ANALYSIS OF MUʿTAZILAH THOUGHT IN AL-KASHSHĀF BY AL-ZAMAKHSHARĪ
Authors: Jannah Saadatul , Rahman Yusuf
Published: December 2024

This article concludes that the interpretation of the Quran depends on the ideological and theological leanings of a mufassir. The findings support H-G. Gadamer’s claim about the mufassir’s pre-understanding, which is considered to have a close relationship with the interpretation result. This study shares the view of modernist Muslims, such as Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd, Farid Esack, Khaled Abou el-Faḍl, and feminist scholar Amina Wadud, that subjectivity in the interpretation of the Quran is inevitable because each mufassir lives in a different historical context and cultural reality. This article proves that the theological interpretation in al-Kashshāf is influenced by the Muʿtazilah principles of al-tawḥīd and al-ʿadl. The methodology of interpretation also portrays al-Zamakhsharī as an interpreter who has full authority in expressing his thoughts by using the question-and-answer method in his work. This article concludes that the interpretation of the Quran depends on the ideological and theological tendencies of the mufassir.
APRESENTAÇÃO - A família é mais que “uma palavra”
Authors: De Andrade Rinaldi Alessandra , Cruz Rifiotis Fernanda , Marre Diana
Published: December 2024

Por meio da reflexão sobre os “novos arranjos de convivência” ou “novas formas familiares” parece-nos inspirador produzir uma “inversão” nos modos de definir os objetos. Trata-se menos de definir o que os sujeitos estão fazendo e mais de investir no que Fassin chama de “gramática dos usos sociais” da família. Inspirados por essa ideia, os artigos reunidos neste número permitem cartografar formas de alianças entre mulheres, redes de apoio e de cuidado, transmissão e apagamentos de memórias, bem como a produção de afetos e de elos transitivos. Tais arranjos convidam à reflexão sobre as complexidades dos contornos das relações, constituídas em casas diversas, nos nexos de cultivos entre mulheres, em temporalidades fluidas, na vida miúda, nas famílias por escolhas, nos cuidados, nos conflitos, na transmissão intergeracional de uma memória reprodutiva e em exercícios parentais que borram as fronteiras do direito, do sangue e do afeto. Trata-se de arranjos que devem ser tomados não como caminhos de enquadramentos do termo família, mas como pontos de reflexão e de diferenciação.

Prevention of perineal injuries during vaginal births (literature review)
Authors:   Dnipro State Medical University, Ukraine, Petrenko E.V. , Bulba P.A. ,   Dnipro State Medical University, Ukraine
Published: December 2024

A review of the literature on risk factors for perineal injuries and modern methods of preventing ruptures during childbirth, which can be used during pregnancy and childbirth, is provided.
The aim of this literature review was to summarize the scientific data on risk factors for perineal trauma during childbirth and methods of preventing this complication used during pregnancy and during childbirth.
The significant prevalence of perineal injuries, as well as a number of complications for a woman's health after these injuries, determine the relevance of research by scientists around the world on methods of preventing ruptures during vaginal childbirth. Perineal injuries of any severity can be associated with significant physical and psychological morbidity, both postpartum and in the long-term. Long-term perineal pain and dyspareunia, which can last up to 18 months after birth, can negatively affect relationships with the newborn, partner and family. The consequences are particularly significant in cases of obstetric damage to the anal sphincter, which are associated with perineal deterioration in the functional state of the pelvic floor muscles, pain, dyspareunia, sexual dysfunction and, in complicated cases, social problems. Obstetric damage to the anal sphincter is also a significant risk factor for the development of anal sphincter failure.

Adaptive capabilities of the hemocoagulation system in pregnant women who had complications from the group of major obstetric syndromes
Authors:   SHEI “Uzhhorod National University”, Ukraine, Lemish N.Y.
Published: December 2024

Aim - to evaluate the adaptive capabilities of the hemocoagulation system in pregnant women who had complications from the group of major obstetric syndromes (MOS) for the further development of an algorithm for the prevention of this complication.
Materials and methods. The main study group (MG) - 99 pregnant women who had a complication from the group of MOS, which was clinically manifested by placental insufficiency; control group (CG) - 50 practically healthy pregnant women with a healthy reproductive history and an uncomplicated course of this pregnancy. The concentration of fibrinogen (Fg), fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (PDFF), activated recalcification time (ART), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), calculation of the prothrombin index (PTI), and thromboelastography (TEG) were determined. Statistical processing of research results was carried out using standard Microsoft Excel 5.0 and Statistical 6.0 programs, differences at p<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results. In the І trimester of pregnancy, the concentration of Fg in the blood plasma of MG pregnant women was 2.62±0.32 g/l against 2.94±0.23 g/l in CG pregnant women, in the II trimester 2.76±0.34 g/l versus 3.24±0.28 g/l, in the III trimester - 2.87±0.29 g/l versus 4.18±0.22 g/l, respectively (р<0.05). The average value of APT in pregnant MG was lower in the I trimester by 23.0%, in the II trimester by 40.0%, and in the III trimester by 17.0% (p<0.05). At the beginning of gestation, the MG showed a lengthening of the APT - 74.6±3.4 s against 64.2±4.3 s in CG in the I trimester of pregnancy against the background of a moderate decrease in APTT. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the concentration of PDFF in МG was 6.8±0.08×10 g/l against 1.8±0.02×10 g/l in CG, in the second trimester - 9.4±0.17×10 g/l against 2, 4±0.17×10 g/l, in the III trimester - 11.6±0.27×10 g/l versus 4.2±0.31×10 g/l, respectively (p<0.05).
Conclusions. The presence of dysregulatory changes in the hemocoagulation system, in particular in its endothelial-platelet link, and an increase in the total coagulation potential of blood, is characterized by an increase in the index of thrombodynamic potential, a relative prolongation of the AChR against the background of a moderate reduction in AChT, an increase in the concentration of PDFF, thromboxane and its metabolic products, a violation of the balance between PgI2 and T×A2, which in general is a sign of the subclinical course of the chronic form of disseminated internal coagulation syndrome, which leads to the early development of perfusion disorders in the mother-placenta-fetus system.
The research was conducted according to principles of Declaration of Helsinki. Protocol of research was proved by local ethical committee, mentioned in institution’s work. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies.

Aim: to determine the importance of prenatal diagnosis in the perinatal care of fetuses and newborns with sacrococcygeal teratomas
Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the medical cards of 26 newborns with sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) who underwent surgery in the period from 1983 to 2023. A statistical analysis of the value of prenatal diagnosis criteria in the perinatal care of fetuses and newborns with SCT was perfomed. P values less than 0.05 were considered reliable.
Results. Prenatal SCT was diagnosed in 69.2% (n=18) of fetuses. The criteria for prenatal diagnosis and its importance in the perinatal support of fetuses and newborns with SCT were determined. Tumor volume growth >100 cm3/week (p=0.0189), tumor-corporal index - TFR>0.12 (p=0.0007), tumor-cranial index - TV:HV >1 (p=0.0006) had a reliable influence on the pathological process, tactics of pregnancy and childbirth.
Conclusions. Prenatal diagnosis and dispensation make it possible to detect fetal SCT in advance, to detail its features and to observe the dynamics of the pathological process during different periods of gestation. The developed method of determining the dynamics of fetal tumor growth, as well as the use of the proposed TFR and TV:HV indices, are reliable risk factors that affect the intrauterine passing of the pathological process, the frequency of dispensary monitoring, the tactics of pregnancy management, the terms of hospitalization in the clinic and the delivery of the pregnant woman. The developed classification of tumor growth rate in the fetus within 1 week has important practical significance in predicting the antenatal passing of the pathological process.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The research protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of all institutions mentioned in the work. Informed consent of the women was obtained for the research.

Radical hope: Reimagining church and society in Scotland
Authors: Storrar William
Published: December 2024

This article proposes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the factors that have led to the Church of Scotland’s current programme of reorganisation of its presbyteries and parishes in the face of a steep decline in its membership and recruitment to ordained ministry. Drawing on sociological, philosophical, and theological sources, it argues that the Kirk is experiencing the devastation of its local parish culture and way of life as an integral part of modern, industrial Scotland under the impact of hyper-individualism in a post-industrial and post-modern Scottish society, but like the Crow tribe, it can find radical hope in its traditions.
Resurrection – not restoration: Frank’s story

Published: December 2024

This short reflection was offered as a response to Prof Will Storrar’s paper given at the ‘A Future with Hope: Resurrection, Not Restoration’ conference held at New College, Edinburgh on 9 March 2024 (included in this issue of Theology in Scotland). Drawing from personal experiences, Rev Dr Richard Frazer contends that the church must move beyond maintaining outdated structures, focussing instead on nurturing the deeper spiritual work of renewal and hope. Despite institutional decline, God is still at work – embodied in acts of genuine welcome, forgiveness and transformation – offering a path forward amidst cultural upheaval.

The Impact of Affordable and Modern Energy Availability on the Economic Growth of Countries Around the World
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia, Osadchenko Elena A.
Published: December 2024

Energy is essential for most economic processes, as well as human life, which forms a strong link between the energy sector and national economic development. The concept of sustainable development is comprehensive and also affects the energy sector within the framework of the seventh sustainable development goal aimed at ensuring availability of affordable and modern energy. The above predetermined the purpose of this study, which is to assess the impact of the availability of affordable and modern energy on economic growth. A hypothesis is put forward that the impact of availability of affordable and modern energy on economic growth is due to the spatial location of countries. Based on the indicators of achieving the seventh sustainable development goal and GDP per capita for 2000-2021 for 164 UN members, multivariate regression models are built to empirically confirm the hypothesis in terms of the presence of influence and the selection of the best model specification. The most significant indicators of achieving the seventh sustainable development goal that determine economic growth are the share of the population with access to electricity, and energy intensity. To test the significance of spatial location, global and local Moran indices, Pesaran CD test and spatial econometric modeling are used. The geometric neighbourhood matrix is used as a weight matrix. According to the results of the study, the hypothesis is confirmed. The presence of positive spatial autocorrelation among neighbouring countries for both indicators of achieving the seventh sustainable development goal is revealed. An increase in energy intensity leads to a decrease in GDP per capita, and an increase in the share of the population with access to electricity leads to an increase. Changes in the analyzed indicators of a particular country also have twice as strong an impact on the economic growth of its neighbors than on its own. The results will be useful for international organizations and governments of countries to ensure the implementation of the seventh sustainable development goal in the interests of global economic growth.
Modelling the Variation of the Impact of Medical Personnel Availability on Mortality Rates: Cardiovascular Disease Case
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russia, Drozd Alexander E. , Nagapetyan Artur R. ,   Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russia
Published: December 2024

The study attempts to empirically assess the impact of socio-economic and demographic characteristics of areas on the influence of the level of cardiologist availability on mortality rates from circulatory system disease. This research question with regards to improving the accuracy of the estimates under consideration is important for the implementation of the approach proposed in the literature to determine the optimal volume of specialist medical personnel on the basis of the Samuelson equation, which determines its relevance. It is necessary to develop approaches for estimating the marginal utility function of hiring additional specialist medical personnel for further comparison with the corresponding marginal cost function. To solve the problems of endogeneity, we use the instrumental variable method with the author's approach to constructing sources of exogenous variation based on spatial matrices and the approach to clustering areas using the k-means method. According to the obtained results, a higher statistically significant impact of profile medical personnel was observed in the territories characterised by higher values of such indicators as the share of elderly people, the share of urban population, real income per capita, alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption, total marriage rate and a lower value of the poverty rate. The variation in the estimates of the impact of the level of availability of cardiologists on mortality rates from circulatory system diseases in the considered subgroups of the federal districts of the Russian Federation was also demonstrated. In particular, the highest value of the corresponding coefficient is observed in the Central Federal District, while in such Federal Districts as the Southern Federal District, the North Caucasian Federal District, the Far Eastern Federal District, and the Siberian Federal District its value is significantly lower than the average Russian level, which was also observed in such federal districts as the Northwestern Federal District, the Volga Federal District, and the Urals Federal District. The results obtained can significantly improve the targeting of management decisions in the healthcare sector in terms of improving the validity of the level of provision of specialist medical personnel in different territories, both in terms of determining its optimal level and in terms of comparing the return on hiring medical personnel of different profiles.

Published: December 2024

Resumo Este estudo objetiva analisar a aplicação dos requisitos arquivísticos para a produção de documento arquivístico digital por um sistema de informação de negócio. Entende-se que não se trata de transformar cada sistema de negócio em um sistema de gestão arquivística, mas de apenas adequá-lo para produzir documentos arquivísticos digitais. Quanto à metodologia, este estudo é de natureza aplicada, pois trata de uma aplicação prática - o documento arquivístico digital. Possui uma abordagem qualitativa e de caráter exploratório, ao passo que se busca avaliar como a Arquivologia pode atuar para promover a produção de documentos arquivísticos digitais autênticos e confiáveis pelo sistema de negócio. Para isso, são utilizados como procedimentos técnicos a pesquisa bibliográfica a partir de material já publicado, seja em livros, artigos de periódicos, e, material disponibilizado na Internet. Foi dada a preferência a fontes que tratam sobre a produção do documento arquivístico digital. Foram também examinadas fontes de pesquisa documental, incluindo leis e normas emitidas tanto pelo governo federal quanto pelo Conselho Nacional de Arquivos, relacionadas à Gestão Arquivística de Documentos. Foi avaliado como exemplo, o sistema SiGA da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, especificamente a produção do diploma de graduação digital. Com base nos resultados, é evidente a necessidade de atualização dos conhecimentos teóricos e práticos do arquivista em tecnologia digital, assim como sua atuação mais proativa no desenvolvimento de softwares para a produção de documentos arquivísticos digitais. Além disso, destaca-se que a Diplomática certamente se apresenta como uma área que pode oferecer suporte ao arquivista nessa tarefa.
“#THISBILLISNOTMINE” online activism and engagement in digital social network sites
Authors: Ferreira Thaís Martins da Costa
Published: December 2024

Abstract This paper seeks to better understand the production of meanings in the context of online activism. Based on an interpretative and exploratory qualitative investigation approach, we seek to examine the path of the activist campaign “Cedae, this bill is not mine”, by the organization Meu Rio, in the context of the crisis of water supply to the metropolitan population of Rio de Janeiro, in early 2020. The study analyzes different strategies for mobilization and engagement in digital social networks and interprets the interpretation of people, from a web of interactions in search of meanings. The investigation takes place under the aegis of a larger interpretive category, sustainability, as the transformations that one wants to see in the world depend on actions that involve social mobilization for change. Activism thus reveals itself as an emerging and fundamental activity for the design and expansion of communication practices in sustainable development.

Authors: Araújo Valmir Teixeira
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT This paper aims to analyze the Black Press in Brazil and its role in the production of journalistic narratives from the perspective of Blackness, understanding the contemporary Black Press based on the fact of the content it produces, as well as based on content analysis and framing analysis. To this end, bibliographical and documentary research was carried out on Blackness and the Black Press, as well as an analysis of the content produced by the websites Correio Nagô, Mundo Negro and Nação Z, selected for their importance, to investigate three framings: how they are presented, their approaches and what they emphasize. It was possible to observe that the Black Press in Brazil makes contents that underline framing analyses in which the Black person is the main character of the journalistic narratives, contributing with inclusion from the point of view of Blackness to the open debate on several issues.

Resumo Este estudo aborda os desafios na interação entre universidade e setor público, com foco na extensão universitária na Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Utilizando uma abordagem exploratória, a pesquisa envolveu revisões bibliográficas e um survey, identificando 789 interações entre docentes da Unicamp e o setor público. Houve destaque para a atuação das Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde com o Poder Executivo, das Ciências Agrárias com o Legislativo, e, no Judiciário, uma leve preferência por Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Ciências Exatas e da Terra. A maioria dos respondentes (54%) teve interações nos últimos 15 anos, relatando melhorias nos processos de políticas públicas. Além disso, 65% revisaram suas práticas de ensino e 59.5% aprimoraram suas pesquisas devido a essas interações. Os desafios identificados incluem burocracia, obstáculos na comunicação e acesso à informação e falta de interesse político. Essas descobertas destacam a complexidade e a importância da interação universidade-setor público na promoção do conhecimento e contribuição para aprimoramentos em políticas públicas.

ABSTRACT The application of wood ash in agriculture emerges as a promising technique to enhance agricultural productivity. Its chemical composition can improve soil attributes, acting as a fertilizer, corrective agent, and assisting in water retention. However, studies recommend controlled adoption to avoid adverse impacts. The objective of this article is to evaluate the potential of wood ash as a fertilization strategy in peanut cultivation, with an emphasis on optimizing plant productivity and reducing water deficit. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse in 5 dm3 pots; the experimental design applied was randomized blocks, forming a 5x5 factorial scheme, corresponding to five doses of wood ash (0; 8; 16; 24 and 32 g dm-3) and five levels of water availability (25; 50; 75; 100 and 125% of field capacity), with four repetitions. The cultivar used was IAC OL-3. The data were subjected to the normality test to check whether they followed the normal distribution and, subsequently, subjected to analysis of variance and, when significant, subjected to regression analysis, at a 5% probability of error. Wood ash, rich in nutrients, proved to be a viable alternative source of nutrients. Doses between 18.4 and 22.8 g dm-3 of wood ash led to the most satisfactory results. The water availability that responded best ranged from 96 to 111.3%. Wood ash, at doses of 22.8 and 19.64 g dm-3, contributed to water consumption and soil water efficiency.

ABSTRACT Castor bean is a crop known to be drought tolerant, but like other crops, it shows reductions in yield under conditions of low water availability. Therefore, the objective whit this study was to evaluate leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll indices and yield of castor bean cultivars subjected to two contrasting water environments in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. Twelve castor bean cultivars were planted in a split-plot randomized block design, with the plot allocated to the contrasting water environments. Environment 1 was composed of irrigation close to field capacity, and environment 2 had about 30% of field capacity. Yield, leaf gas exchange, and chlorophyll content were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using Bayesian analysis with a variant of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) to obtain Markov chains via Monte Carlo (MCMC). The MCMC were convergent and well mixed. In environment 2, the cultivars EBDA MPA 34, EBDA 17, and IAC 2028 showed yield above 1,700 kg ha-1. Cultivar IAC 226 showed an increase of 9.98% in its yield in environment 2. Therefore, cultivars EBDA MPA 34, IAC 2028, IAC 226, and EBDA 17 are recommended to castor bean breeding programs as promising parents for studies under conditions of low water availability. Cultivars EBDA MPA 11 and BRS Paraguaçu showed high yield in both environments and are recommended for cultivation because they are responsive to the increase in water availability.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to assess the reproductive phenology and thermal requirements of two dragon fruit species grown under the climate conditions of northern Amazon. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil, during two production cycles (2020-2021 and 20212022). Two dragon fruit species were used: Hylocereus costaricensis, which produces cylindrical fruits with a red skin and purple pulp; and Hylocereus polyrhizus, which produces elongated fruits with red skin and pulp. Ten plants of each species were selected and divided into four quadrants; ten cladodes were selected per quadrant and two flower buds were selected per cladode, totaling 800 flowers for each species. The plants were monitored from the beginning of flower bud intumescence until fruit harvest. Phenological periods were evaluated from production pruning to fruit harvest, based on the phenological stage descriptions of the Biologische Bundesanstalt Bundessortenamt and Chemical Industry (BBCH) scale. Climate conditions affected the species over the years, mainly due to variations in air temperature preceding phenophases. Variations between years increased the production cycle in 20 days for H. costaricensis and 34 days for H. polyrhizus from the first (2020-2021) to the second (2021-2022) production year. Organoleptic properties of species showed excellent results, including soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), and SS to TA ratio. Complete physiological maturity of H. costaricensis and H. polyrhizus fruits occurred at 31 and 38 days after anthesis, respectively, when the fruits presented an intense red skin and pulp.
