Published: February 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa a percepção de lócus de controle de agentes da segurança pública, quanto à sua atuação nas ações de fiscalização de proteção da infância e juventude, na Região Metropolitana de Belém, no estado do Pará. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, cujos participantes foram selecionados mediante utilização de amostragem por conveniência. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário eletrônico (e-survey). Como resultado, observa-se que as percepções dos agentes de segurança pública envolvidos nas ações de fiscalização possuem aspectos do Lócus de Controle interno e externo, influenciando suas percepções, porém, verifica-se que fatores externos podem determinar a eficiência da fiscalização realizada. Isso, no entanto, parece não comprometer o senso de controle interno desses agentes, quanto às ações que eles próprios realizam.
Crítica da economia política da empresa do encarceramento em Santa Catarina
Authors: Silva Leal Jackson , Costamilan Amanda
Published: February 2024

Este artigo apresenta um fragmento da pesquisa sobre a econômica política do encarceramento no estado de Santa Catarina, em suas múltiplas manifestações dentro do contexto do neoliberalismo em que a estrutura de controle social se apresenta como um projeto sobretudo econômico. Neste trabalho em específico, analisa-se o incremento do encarceramento, situando esse crescimento no interior de uma empresa encarceradora, e como as últimas décadas são ilustrativas da significação econômica e material desse processo. Assim, metodologicamente, se apresenta como um esforço de sistematização acerca da realidade prisional no período recente, a partir de dados oficiais, tanto da Secretaria de Administração Prisional e Segurança Pública de Santa Catarina, como consolidadas nacionalmente pelo Infopen e pelo Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública, em estrutura análise qualitativa e quantitativa. Este trabalho visa contribuir com essa organização dos dados acerca do cárcere no Brasil no período atual que marca a virada para o séc. XXI como a Era do Superencarceramento. Parte-se da hipótese de que o projeto prisional catarinense se apresenta na vanguarda do modelo conservador economicista neoliberal, que tem a prisão no centro de seu modus operandi, e que se constitui com múltiplas funções, desde uma ferramenta privilegiada de controle das classes e populações marginalizadas, como também um projeto econômico, que pode ser altamente rentável se gerido a partir da lógica do custo benefício, em um verdadeiro processo de exploração do cárcere na moderna economia capitalista neoliberal.
Hibernation-Like Behavior Induced by 2-Methyl-2-Thiazoline and Its Organ-Protective Effects and Mechanisms
Authors: Mu Fangfang , Rao Changle , Luo Tianyuan , Huang Guihua
Published: February 2024

Hibernation is a prolonged state of low metabolism that animals enter in response to extreme environmental conditions to enhance their survival in harsh environments. Recent studies have shown that non-hibernating species can also be induced to enter a hibernation-like state. 2-methyl-2-thiazoline (2MT), a potent analog of fox odor, can induce fear-related behavior in mice with low body temperature and low metabolism, and has specific organ-protective effects. A systematic understanding of 2MT-induced hibernation and its underlying mechanisms may aid in expanding its applications in medicine and other fields.
Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury Following Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Heart Failure Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction Using Machine Leaning with a Novel Nomogram
Authors: Hou Xuejian , Zhang Kui , Liu Taoshuai , Xu Shijun , Zheng Jubing , Li Yang , Dong Ran
Published: February 2024

Background: The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is high due to insufficient perfusion in patients with heart failure. Heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have strong heterogeneity, which can obtain more accurate results. There are few studies for predicting AKI after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in HFpEF patients especially using machine learning methodology. Methods: Patients were recruited in this study from 2018 to 2022. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The machine learning methods adopted included logistic regression, random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gaussian naive bayes (GNB), and light gradient boosting machine (LGBM). We used the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) to evaluate the performance of these models. The integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification improvement (NRI) were utilized to compare the prediction model. Results: In our study, 417 (23.6%) patients developed AKI. Among the five models, random forest was the best predictor of AKI. The area under curve (AUC) value was 0.834 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80–0.86). The IDI and NRI was also better than the other models. Ejection fraction (EF), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), age, albumin (Alb), uric acid (UA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also significant risk factors in the random forest model. Conclusions: EF, eGFR, age, Alb, UA, LDH are independent risk factors for AKI in HFpEF patients after CABG using the random forest model. EF, eGFR, and Alb positively correlated with age; UA and LDH had a negative correlation. The application of machine learning can better predict the occurrence of AKI after CABG and may help to improve the prognosis of HFpEF patients.
Implementasi of technology acceptance model (TAM) in electronic documentation of nursing care: phenomenology explorative
Authors: Santoso Erny Kristiana , Dedi Blacius , Nurhayati Susi
Published: February 2024

Incomplete medical record documentation affects the quality of service in hospitals. The migration of SIMRS is intended to allow hospital services to be integrated. The use of electronic medical records as a nursing care documentation tool needs to be evaluated in terms of the acceptance of technology through three constructs: the effect of benefits, the effect of ease of use of the system, and self-confidence in computing ability. The study aims to explore the nursesâ€™ experiences of the influence of the benefits of using technology, the ease of use of technology, and nurses' self-confidence when using technology. This study used qualitative methodology with an exploratory phenomenological approach. Data were collected through FGDs with 12 participants selected by purposive sampling technique and consultation with information technology and nursing management experts. Data analysis used the Collaizi Model. The results obtained from this study indicate that the electronic care documentation system must consider the security system of the medical record and that obstacles to operating the system must be anticipated. Guidelines should be made for the application of 3S nursing care in EMR. Adapting to technology influences self-confidence in computing ability, the belief that technology can complete tasks, the usefulness of technology, and the ease of use of electronic documentation technology. It can be concluded that the evaluation of technology acceptance as early as possible is very important to support the successful use of information systems and provide input for management and policymakers in understanding the process of adaptation to new technologies and the creation of practical guidelines for the successful implementation of information systems.

Authors: Rosyidah Hanifatur , Nakatudde Hadijah , Adyania Kartika , Susanti Siti
Published: February 2024

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mental disorder that can affect mothers and their families, with symptoms of fatigue, mood swings, frequent anger for no reason, and excessive worry for the baby. Several studies regarding interventions that can be given to postpartum women with PPD have been carried out. The purpose of this review is to assess evidence on the effectiveness of a broad range of perinatal interventions to reduce the severity of PPD.
The review of the literature has been done through PubMed, for papers with Randomized Control Trial (RCT) design published in 2012-2021. The approach was to explore quantitative parameters which is the EPDS score. More than 300 papers were identified, but only 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. A narrative review was conducted due to the studies' significant heterogeneity.
Six studies reported a decrease in EPDS score. Six interventions have been identified to reduce the severity of PPD, they are exercise, psychological intervention, telephone-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), iBA (internet Behavioral Activation), application-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation.
This review suggests that multiple intervention program may lead to better outcomes in terms of client’s satisfaction. There is also some indication that psychoeducation support Maternal Parental Self-efficacy (MPSE) and social support besides EPDS.
The experience of first-time parents in the transition to parenthood: Scoping review
Authors: Machfudloh Machfudloh , Astuti Andari Wuri , Suryaningsih Endang Koni
Published: February 2024

Background: Marriage is everyone's dream and need to create a whole and happy family (household). Changing the status and role of being a parent is fun and even sad if the adjustment is not properly prepared. Self-acceptance as a parent can affect a person's psychological level where the rates of stress, depression, violence against family children, and even divorce experience an increasing trend. Young parents are more vulnerable to becoming victims of both physical and verbal violence. Methods: The method in this research is scoping review. The literature search in this study used three medical journal databases, namely Ebsco, ProQuest, and Willey Online Library, and one search engine, namely Google Scholar. Articles were selected using inclusion criteria, namely original research, in English and Indonesian, published within the last 5 years (2017-2022). The total search results were 3,395 articles. 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria in the authors' review were found. The instrument used to assess the quality of articles was the Joana Briggs tool from the Joana Briggs Institute (JBI). Conclusion: From the results of the review, it was found three themes related to readiness, influencing factors, and support in the transition to parenthood. The review of the ten articles showed that the transition to parenthood requires readiness both physically and mentally, internal and external factors, and the need for support from family, social, and health services.

Authors: Siswina Tessa , Kurnia Dikdik , Rustama Mia Miranti , Sumiarsa Dadan
Published: February 2024

One of the main issues for women in the reproductive age range is leucorrhoea, which causes a woman ongoing distress, and occasionally be the first sign of several of the main gynecological disorders. The widespread use of fluconazole antibiotics has caused Candida sp to become resistant. Alternative non-pharmacological treatments based on natural products are needed, especially P. crocatum which has antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities. This study analyzed the empirical study of P. crocatum used against leucorrhoea due to C. albicans. The empirical study presented that vaginal discharge was reduced after using P. crocatum formulations. The infection parameter of vaginal pH level, the intensity of pain, and itching were significantly recovered with p values of 0.008, 0.000, and 0.001, respectively, while the reducing C. albicans colonies was 0.001. P. crocatum decoction formulation is effective in reducing vaginal yeast infections in women, close to the results of the positive control, ketoconazole.

Published: February 2024

Background: Cervical cancer is a common malignancy causing cancer-related deaths worldwide. Evidence suggests that adequate screening can reduce cervical cancer-related deaths. Screening for cervical cancer can be done using Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid (VIA), HPV DNA and cytology. The economic burden of cancer patients is substantial ranging from US$8,066 to 22,888 per patient. Health cost effectiveness was comparative in the analysis of costs and consequences for the three screening methods. VIA is the most cost-effective primary screening test for cervical cancer. Purpose: To review the research results of a full economic evaluation to encourage the specific cervical cancer screening methods used to enhance the detection of precancerous lesions in women's cervix. Method: This systematic review used the PRISMA ScR framework with a literature search using 3 databases, namely Pubmed, Wiley, and Google Scholar, with years of publication from 2009 – 2023. The data that has been obtained is carried out by critical appraisal using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS). Results: Based on the search for 3,973 selected articles, 7 match the inclusion criteria. This systematic review discovered three major themes: the utility value of health status, cost and analysis. Conclusion: The most cost-effective cervical cancer screening is by VIA. HPV DNA and pap smear based cytology techniques have been reported to show high sensitivity and specificity respectively including being expensive and resource intensive. In contrast the VIA technique has moderate sensitivity and specificity but is less expensive Various developed countries have used Pap or HPV DNA cytology tests as the main screening method, which can lead to a 50-70% reduction in cervical cancer incidence, while in developing countries using VIA tests as a cervical cancer screening method.
Role of nanotechnology in therapeutics and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: P Sundaram Dhivya , Govindaswamy Swathy , Mathiazhagan Sobiya , Venugopal Jayalakshmi
Published: February 2024

Alzheimer's disease refers to a pathological topography accompanied by the loss of neurons in the brain regions including entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, resulting in memory impairment, cognitive dysfunction, behavioural problems, and difficulties in activities of daily living that ultimately lead to mortality. This disease typically affects the elderly population. Even if the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are unclear, Alzheimer's disease is unquestionably associated with dysfunction in the cholinergic system, resulting in a decreased level of acetylcholine in specific brain regions, including the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular and cellular causes of Alzheimer's disease, there is presently no medication available to reduce or stop the loss of brain cells. As the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease continues to rise, there is a pressing need to develop ways for early diagnosis and offer viable treatments to avert a public health crisis. In recent years, nanoparticles have been seriously studied as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for Alzheimer's disease. Here, we discuss the recent growth in nanoparticles for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and treatment.

Many studies have investigated brain network dynamics involved in language, but most have done so from the scalp and focused on discrete components of language. Functional mapping using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) offers a unique opportunity to directly examine eloquent cortex supporting language. Picture naming is the most common task used during SEEG to map language but may not adequately capture neural network dynamics involved in “natural” language used in everyday conversation. In this exploratory case report, we used SEEG to examine high-frequency activity (HFA) and phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) in a 20-year-old patient with drug-resistant epilepsy, comparing spontaneous conversation with a picture naming task. Examination of HFA and PAC during the conversation showed a broad neural activation network that included canonical language regions and regions believed to be important for reasoning, monitoring behavior, and decision-making (i.e., bilateral frontal, temporal, and parietal activation). In comparison, HFA and PAC during picture naming were limited to the left temporal region and right superior frontal gyrus. Findings suggest natural language is supported by a broader network than is captured using an elemental, single-domain language task. While additional research is needed to substantiate these results, our findings suggest it may be possible to explore more complex (network-based) features of language processing using SEEG.
Food for Thought: Dietary Nootropics for the Optimisation of Military Operators Cognitive Performance
Authors: Vine Christopher , Spurr Tilly , Blacker Sam
Published: February 2024

Nootropics are compounds that enhance cognitive performance, which were first researched during World War II, and have recently been highlighted as a medium-term human augmentation technology that could support soldier performance. Given the differing ethical, safety, and legal considerations associated with the pharmaceutical subset of nootropics, this analysis will focus on dietary supplementation which may support cognitive enhancement within training and operational settings. A plethora of supplements have been researched as possible nootropics, though research is often not context specific or of high quality, leading to limited certainty over efficacy. There are many other complex cofactors that may affect the efficacy of any dietary nootropic supplement which is designed to improve cognition, such as external stressors (e.g., sleep deprivation, high physical workloads), task specifics (e.g., cognitive processes required), and other psychological constructs (e.g., placebo/nocebo effect). Moreover, military population considerations, such as prior nutritional knowledge and current supplement consumption (e.g., caffeine), along with other issues such as supplement contamination should be evaluated when considering dietary nootropic use within military populations. However, given the increasing requirement for cognitive capabilities by military personnel to complete role-related tasks, dietary nootropics could be highly beneficial in specific contexts. Whilst current evidence is broadly weak, nutritional nootropic supplements may be of use to the military end user, especially during periods of military specific stress. Future Military specific research within this area should focus on being of high quality and using externally valid methodologies to maximise the translation of research to the theatre of operations.
Reference Trial Emulation to Improve the Validity of Non-Interventional Comparative Effectiveness Research
Authors: Wing Kevin , Schultze Anna
Published: February 2024

In this commentary we discuss use of the “reference trial emulation” approach in non-interventional comparative effectiveness research, in which an existing randomized controlled trial (RCT) is used as a reference standard to both inform the design of a non-interventional study, and for the benchmarking of the non-interventional analysis results. We provide a brief background on the challenges of non-interventional comparative effectiveness research, before elaborating on (i) what a reference trial is (ii) the potential benefits and pitfalls of reference trial emulation and (iii) how reference trial emulation relates to target trial emulation. Finally, a number of recommendations for the conduct and reporting of reference trial emulations are provided.
Negative (but not Positive) Affective Episodic Future Thinking Enhances Proactive Behavior in 5-year-old Children
Authors: Schreiber Felix , Schneider Silvia , Newen Albert , Voigt Babett
Published: February 2024

Envisioning the future and how you may feel (affective episodic future thinking, EFT) helps adults to act in favour for their future self, according to manifold experiments. The current study tested whether and how affective EFT also helps children to behave more proactively, i.e., to self-initially prepare for an upcoming event. N = 90 5-year-old children (data collected from 2021 to 2022) were instructed to mentally imagine how they would feel after successfully managing an upcoming test (positive affective EFT), how they would feel after failing to do so (negative affective EFT), or they were reminded of an upcoming test without a prompt to imagine (control condition, random assignment). Proactive behavior was indicated by children’s choice to play one of three games before the actual test (one of the games was announced to be the test game). Mechanisms (e.g., motivation to win, psychological distance, current affect) and moderators (ability of episodically thinking about the future in everyday life, behavioural inhibition, and behavioural approach) for the possible effects of affective EFT were explored. Children in the negative affective EFT condition chose the target game significantly above chance level and more often than children in the control group, whereas children in the positive affective EFT condition did not. This effect was independent of the assumed mediators and moderators. Findings are discussed in the context of the theoretical and empirical literature on affective EFT in adults and suggestions for future studies are given.

Background: In recent years, the number of forcibly displaced persons has risen worldwide, with approximately 40% being children and adolescents. Most of them are hosted in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Many individuals meet the criteria for mental health issues, which can also be exacerbated by a number of risk factors, including low socioeconomic status, displacement, and stressors linked to conflicts in their country or region of origin. However, the vast majority never receive treatment for their psychological problems due to multiple reasons, including a shortage of mental health professionals in LIMCs, transportation challenges in accessing clinics, and clinic hours conflicting with family commitments. In the current study we investigated whether individual psychotherapy delivered by trained lay counsellors over telephone to Syrian refugee children living in Lebanon is effective and overcomes barriers to treatment access. Methods: After adaptation of Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) to remote delivery over telephone (t-CETA), preliminary effectiveness of the treatment modality was assessed with a pilot single blind randomised controlled trial including a total sample of 20 refugee children with diagnosed mental health problems. Data was analysis applying a Bayesian approach.Results: Findings provide first evidence that t-CETA is effective in reducing mental health symptoms compared to standard in-person treatment-as-usual, though no significant changes were found for impairment. In addition, there was a significant session-by-session decrease in self-reported mental health symptoms over the course of treatment. Importantly, the majority of children allocated to t-CETA completed treatment whilst all children in the treatment-as-usual condition were unable to do so. Conclusion: The study provides first evidence that telephone-delivered psychotherapy in a humanitarian setting, delivered by lay counsellors under supervision, works and significantly increases access to treatment compared to traditional in-person treatment. However, findings remain to be replicated in larger trials.
Learning and generalizing associations between social cues and outcomes
Authors: Plate Rista C , Perkins Emily R. , Waller Rebecca , Zettersten Martin
Published: February 2024

To succeed in social situations, we must learn how social cues predict subsequent events. How do we quickly form associations between a variety of social cues, such as individuals signaling their current emotion state, and social outcomes? To address this question, we developed a task in which participants viewed images of individuals conveying different emotions and searched among these images to gain rewards. Rewards were associated with either individuals’ identities or emotion cues. Across four experiments (N=720), individuals learned about rewards more efficiently from individual identity cues versus a wide variety of emotion cues. Participants also generalized cue-outcome associations more easily for individuals versus emotions. Learning was worse if participants experienced a change in the association rule, especially when switching from learning individual-based associations to emotion-based associations. Overall, we show that social cue type influences how associations between cues and rewards are learned, with implications for understanding learning in social contexts.

Published: February 2024

This study used five assumptions to guide the examination of the techniques for maintaining school infrastructure and providing high-quality education in public junior secondary schools in Lagos State Education District 1. All 42 public junior secondary school principals and teachers in the chosen education district made up the study's population, which used a descriptive and correlational research approach. 216 principals and teachers made up the sample, which was selected using multistage - stratified, simple random, and purposive selection approaches from the sampled 18 schools. A self-constructed questionnaire with two dimensions, one with 20 items on quality education delivery and the other dimension on school facilities maintenance strategies, were used to collect data for the study. For each dimension, the reliability coefficients for this instrument's were found to be 0.77 and 0.79, respectively with a face and content validity being ensured. Person product moment correlation analysis was used as an inferential statistical technique to analyze the data at the 0.05 level of significance. The research findings indicates a noteworthy correlation between preventative maintenance strategy(r = .813; N=216; p< .05), corrective maintenance strategy (r = .786; N=216; p< .05), routine maintenance strategy (r = .765; N=216; p< .05), emergency maintenance strategy (r = .745; N=216; p< .05), remedial maintenance strategy (r = .925; N=216; p< .05) and quality education delivery in Lagos State Education District I. The study thereafter concluded that school facilities maintenance strategies is apparently a major determining factor of quality education delivery in public junior secondary schools in Lagos State Education District I. Thus, the study's recommendations include, among other things, the requirement that maintenance practices and culture be ingrained in everyone and that all parties involved in the education sector bear responsibility for them in order to guarantee the delivery of high-quality education.

Authors: Shrestha Dhurba Kumar
Published: February 2024

Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) is considered as foundations of modern education system in Nepal. It's the preparedness of children for school in terms of their physical growth, mental capacities, and social adjustment. Over the last two decades, some notable achievements have been achieved beside low investment by the government in ECED sectors in Nepal. The average ECED gross enrollment rate have reached at 89.62 per cent and achieved attractive progress in gender (0.92) parity in ECED. However, community-based ECEDs in geographically remote area are running without basic requirements. An execution of Local Government Operation Act-2017 (LGRG) and School Education Sector Plan (2022-32) contributing to strengthen the ECED in Nepal. Inadequate investment, insufficient ECEDs, absence of skilled and permanent ECED facilitator, dissimilarities between ECEDs, lack of friendlier infrastructure, complexities to implement bilingual curriculum, inaccessible and unaffordable education system, existence of dual education system, and structural discriminations are still observed as unsolved issues. This paper tries to review the status, trends and challenges associated to Early Childhood Education Development in Nepal.
Oh Pengdorje: The Voice of Margin for Liberation

Published: February 2024

This article aims to establish connections between the Tamang community, the Tamang people, and the poet's introspective observations of his own circumstances. It provides a comprehensive exploration of this concept and its application to the communal perception within the Tamang community. The poet achieves a heightened level of imagination, thanks to his Marxist outlook and ideology, gaining recognition in both political and cultural spheres. Furthermore, the article delves into the role of class within the literary work, examining characters, and battling oppression. The poet's discussion on oppression as a pervasive societal issue takes center stage in this paper.The reviewed collection of poems establishes a powerful link between subjective experiences and an objective world, serving as a conduit to engage readers in societal reflections. Writing, as emphasized by many previous authors in this series, serves as a means to explore, learn, and contribute. While the desire to become a writer may carry a scent of vanity and ambition, this particular writing style stands out for its focus on compassion and inquiry. The poet Raju Syangtan elaborates on his personal journey towards adopting this distinctive writing style.The narrative style in his writing revolves around themes of family, history, class struggle, departure from home, the quest for truth, return from fighting, forging a unique path, and embracing compassion and curiosity from the past to the present. The Marxist school of literary criticism serves as the guiding principle in the investigation of select poems within this framework.
Ins and Outs of Plagiarism in Academia: Reconnoitring Concepts, Causes, and Consequences

For developing fair intellectual practices, one requires paving the path of academic integrity. However, authors have been violating those norms knowingly or unknowingly. They are doing so for some reasons such as academic promotion, public fame, and dignity without hard work, to mention a few. Therefore, plagiarism is rocking the academia and it is high time to prevent it. The first step to prevent this immoral practice is to make the writers aware of its notions, causes, consequences, and ways to avoid it. These are the main aims of this article. Further, this article aims to highlight state-of-the-art and desiderata of the plagiarists’ practices, whose penalties are unavoidable. Employing a review and analysis of a few cases of history, this article draws an inference that writers should follow ethical/legal practices to let intellectual integrity and fairness prosper in the field of academia.
Inheritance Law in Europe and Its Metamorphoses in Territory and Time with an Emphasis on Development Trends and Social Contexts
Authors: Prudovič Marek
Published: February 2024

Inheritance law in Europe has undergone considerable development and its roots can be found, as in most areas of private law, in the Roman law. The aim of the paper is to provide a brief comparison of the view of inheritance law and its content within the framework of the Roman law, the Medieval law and the contemporary Slovak law and Czech law, with an overlap into the intended recodification. We will be particularly interested in the view on the purpose of inheritance law in these different historical epochs and the possibilities of the disposition mortis causa in them. We will also point out how the approach to inheritance law affects the society in which it is constituted. We will also pay attention to those historical institutes of inheritance law that could be applicable within the framework of the planned recodification of the Slovak private law.

La disminución de la biodiversidad global implica la necesidad de estudiar el estado del ecosistema, no solo en sitios conservados sino también en paisajes con uso de suelo diversificado y en territorio bajo aprovechamiento. Con base en los esfuerzos que se realizan a nivel nacional para la colecta de datos biológicos en Perú y México, así como en diferentes referentes internacionales y a partir de la generación, implementación y análisis de protocolos de monitoreo de la biodiversidad en áreas de manejo forestal en ambos países, se elaboró mediante un proceso lógico-participativo un protocolo unificado de monitoreo de la biodiversidad en áreas bajo aprovechamiento, capaz de generar información en tres escalas de aproximación territorial y de emplearse en diferentes condiciones ecológicas. Las diferentes etapas para el desarrollo de las actividades fueron realizadas por un equipo de trabajo conformado por dos bloques con funciones complementarias: A) Análisis situacional y desarrollo metodológico, B) Implementación en campo de protocolos iniciales por país, análisis y diseño de protocolo unificado. Se obtuvieron coberturas de muestra que van de 0,039 a 0,984 con el protocolo “transecto, punto, parcela” TPP (Perú) y de 0,937 a 0,996 con el “método transecto, punto” MTP (México) de acuerdo a las cuales se realizaron ajustes y redistribución de técnicas de muestreo en los grupos biológicos involucrados para delinear el protocolo unificado para el monitoreo de la biodiversidad (TPU). El diseño espacial unificado es un transecto lineal de 1 000 m, el cual dependiendo de la fisiografía puede cambiar de dirección (entre 45° a 90°). Se propone la estandarización en la toma de datos biológicos a nivel predial, ecosistema y paisaje mediante el citado diseño, el cual es capaz de articularse con trabajos de instituciones ambientales nacionales. El proceso desarrollado puede replicarse en otros países para fomentar una mayor estandarización.
VIAGEM PITORESCA PELO SERTÃO: A CAATINGA

Embora eu tenha sobrenome de vegetal da Caatinga, tenho pouco conhecimento desse bioma, que é o único exclusivamente brasileiro. Meu pai, original de Santarém, onde a família habita desde, pelo menos, o início do século XIX, era inicialmente classificador de madeira e de cautchu, e foi pai de três geólogos. Coincidentemente, a bromélia, também chamada de macambira-de-lajedo ou macambira-de-pedra, tem características integradoras, pois suas raízes entranham nas fraturas das rochas na luta pela sobrevivência buscando por água e nutrientes. Aproveitei nossa Viagem Pitoresca pelo Sertão (CE, RN e PB) para conhecer algumas espécies vegetais e enriquecer o aprendizado com fotografias e informações básicas extraídas aleatoriamente da internet.
