Place identity and territorial marketing: The case of the former Pomeranian region of Kosznajderia – opportunities and limitations
Authors: Marcysiak Tomasz
Published: December 2023

Z wielką uwagą śledzi się współcześnie zmiany, dokonujące się w obrębie małych lokalnych wspólnot, których członkowie dostrzegają potrzebę budowania marki swojej społeczności, która może sprzyjać samoidentyfikacji. Działania te wspomagają rozwój przedsiębiorczości, turystyki i wielu innych przedsięwzięć. Nie wszystkie jednak regiony mają ugruntowaną tożsamość, która w odczuciu mieszkańców nie podlega dyskusji, czy potrzebie redefiniowania. Spuścizna materialna, jak również duchowa, regionu może wcale nie być walorem, lecz stanowić kłopotliwe dziedzictwo. Jest to szczególnie widoczne na terenach pogranicza, czy terenach postmigracyjnych, gdzie jedna grupa ludności osiedlała się na miejscu innej, niekiedy wręcz wchodząc do jeszcze „ciepłej pościeli”. Brzmi to nieco eufemistycznie, zwłaszcza, że dotyczy sytuacji niezwykle dramatycznych związanych z wysiedleniem, wypędzeniem, czy nawet eksterminacją. Za szczególnie godne uwagi uważam przyjrzenie się próbom budowania tożsamości na bazie wielowiekowego dziedzictwa Kosznajdrów w południowej części Pomorza (okolice Chojnic).

Rozważania podjęte w artykule dotyczą szans i ograniczeń związanych z budowaniem, na bazie inicjatyw oddolnych, marki miejsca. Z jednej strony bowiem przywracanie pamięci po Kosznajdrach i próby zachowania ich dziedzictwa spotykają się z otwartością na dialog o historii miejsca, z drugiej jednak wiążą się z nieprzepracowanym we wspólnotach zadawnionym poczuciem krzywdy i cierpienia (czasy okupacji, a nawet okres przedwojenny), niekiedy bardzo płytko osadzonym w zbiorowej pamięci.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań, których realizacja pozwoliła nakreślić wzór nowoczesnego rolnika oraz ocenić, czy jego cechy konstytutywne przekładają się (i w jaki sposób) na skłonność do wdrażania w gospodarstwie innowacji biologicznych. Dla rolnictwa indywidualnego w Polsce innowacje biologiczne mają kluczowe znaczenie z kilku powodów. Ich wprowadzaniem są jednak zainteresowane głównie gospodarstwa większe obszarowo, w których działa przymus ekonomiczny. W gospodarstwach średnich (5–50 ha) przymus taki nie występuje, m.in. z uwagi na to, że mają one nierzadko zróżnicowane źródła dochodu, zatem trzeba rozpoznać czynniki, które mogą sprzyjać innowacjom oraz te, które są głównymi barierami dla ich wprowadzenia. Zgodnie z wynikami badań, czynniki te są związane z realizacją wzoru nowoczesnego rolnika.

Published: December 2023

The field of digital leadership in the Philippines is limited, despite the country's growing regard for school digitization. This study investigated the socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, years of service, educational attainment, location of school, and type of school, that influenced Filipino school leaders' digital leadership. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 386 school leaders, selected through convenience sampling technique. The data was collected through an invitation link to a questionnaire survey distributed through various social media platforms. Descriptive data using frequency and percentage, and independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to examine the variables of the study. The study found that younger male leaders working in urban or private schools, or those who were relatively new in their leadership roles, with higher educational qualifications tend to have higher levels of digital leadership. This meant that socio-demographic factors of school leaders can influence their digital leadership. The study also emphasizes the critical need for in-depth research into the nature and implications of digital leadership in the Philippine educational landscape, focusing on how socio-demographic factors influenced the adoption of digital leadership skills. The study's findings implied that government and educational institutions need to take a more proactive role in supporting the development of digital leadership skills among all school leaders, regardless of their socio-demographic backgrounds. This includes providing training and support, and creating a more supportive environment for digital leadership.
Prophylactic Single-Dose Systemic Methotrexate Therapy for High-Risk Group in Persistent Ectopic Pregnancy After Laparoscopic Conservative Surgery of Tubal Pregnancy
Authors: Oh Sung-Tack , Choi Bum-Chae
Published: December 2023

Backgroud: to evaluate whether the incidence of persistent ectopic pregnancy after laparoscopic conservative surgery can be reduced or prevented by prophylactic single-dose systemic methotrexate (MTX) in high-risk group.
Methods: Women who underwent laparoscopic conservative surgery for treatment of unruptured ectopic pregnancy, who agreed to participate in the study and who had risk factors for persistent ectopic pregnancy (n = 112) were randomly assigned to the prophylaxis or control group. In the prophylaxis group (n = 72), patients received a single dose of MTX, 1.0mg/kg intramuscularly, within 24 hours postoperatively. No treatment was used in the control group (n = 40). Both groups were followed with serial serum b-hCG titers; titers were measured on the frist postoperative day, then every 72 hours until levels were lower than 5mIU/ml.
Results: Four women had persistent ectopic pregnancy, no in the prophylaxis group (0%) and four among the controls (10%); this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). One women (1.4%) reported mild side effects after MTX, but these resolved spontaneously.
Conclusions: The incidence of persistent ectopic pregnancy was significantly reduced after a single prophylactic dose of systemic MTX administered postoperatively in high-risk group. This regimen is safe and can be used to decrease the extent of postoperative monitoring after conservative treatment of unruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Alegato a favor del modelo de la tentativa en el caso de desconocimiento de la situación fáctica justificante: una contribución sobre los fundamentos de la justificación en el derecho penal
Authors: Kemper Simon
Published: December 2023

El problema de la ausencia de los elementos subjetivos de justificación –a menudo subestimado en lo que respecta a su relevancia práctica– sigue siendo muy controvertido. En el presente artículo abogo a favor del denominado “modelo de la tentativa” e intento resaltar que es el más plausible desde el punto de vista de sus fundamentos teórico penales, de su compatibilidad con el derecho penal positivo alemán y de sus consecuencias prácticas. En varios puntos intento hacer fructíferas para estos efectos tendencias recientes de la doctrina penal, como la distinción entre el principio de responsabilidad y el principio de solidaridad, la teoría de la imputación objetiva y la función primordialmente comunicativa de una sentencia penal.
Imputación al jefe o superior jerárquico de estructuras delictivas –o con tendencia delictiva– de los excesos cometidos por sus subordinados: análisis de tres niveles para la imputación al individuo por el injusto colectivo
Authors: Rojas Salas José Manuel
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo se indaga si es posible imputar a los jefes (militares o asimilados) o superiores jerárquicos de estructuras delictivas –o con tendencia delictiva– los excesos cometidos por sus subordinados. Para solucionar este problema jurídico, en primer lugar, se analizan ese tipo de estructuras a partir de distintos enfoques. En segundo lugar, se precisa brevemente qué se entiende por “excesos” en términos jurídico-penales. En tercer lugar, se plantea una propuesta de solución a partir de un enfoque metodológico de tres niveles en los que es preciso establecer, primero, el fundamento de la responsabilidad del individuo en el contexto de la acción colectiva, segundo, la calificación de su intervención y, tercero, el alcance de la imputación subjetiva del injusto.
La violación de la doble conformidad en el proceso disciplinario especial de los estados de excepción
Authors: Duarte Martínez Carlos Arturo
Published: December 2023

Aquí se muestra la inconvencionalidad del literal e del artículo 53 de la Ley 137 de 1994, por el cual en los procesos disciplinarios tramitados por incumplir los deberes funcionales previstos en la legalidad de excepción se concede en el efecto devolutivo la apelación del fallo sancionatorio de primera instancia que restringe los derechos políticos. Ejecutar las sanciones disciplinarias sin que antes el superior resuelva los argumentos resulta contrario a la doble conformidad y al principio de intangibilidad, previstos en los artículos 8.2 literal h y 27.2 de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos. Se plantean soluciones para superar esta irregularidad.

Effects of the agricultural food security pack programme in Zambia: the case of Mpulungu District
Authors:   University of South Africa, Tembo R , Kibuka-Sebitosi E ,   University of South Africa
Published: December 2023

Agricultural food programmes are one of the means to improve household food security for vulnerable small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. In Zambia, household food insecurity is entrenched among small-scale farmers. Despite the implementation of the food security pack programme by the Zambian government, there is scanty scientific information on the performance of the programme. The study reviewed the effects of the food security pack programme on land cultivation and maize crop productivity in Mpulungu district using a mixed-methods design. Using a simple random sampling and Slovin’s Formula, 147 beneficiaries and 152 non-beneficiaries were selected as questionnaire respondents. The study purposely selected two government officials, one traditional leader, and five focus groups for interviews and focus group discussions. Descriptive data were generated using SPSS and content analysis. The study revealed that 66% of the beneficiaries, cultivated between a quarter (0.25) and half (0.50) a hectare compared to the non-beneficiaries, whose 61% cultivated less than a quarter (<0.25) hectare. Similarly, 70.1% of the beneficiaries, harvested more than 20 (50kg) bags of maize grain on average, per 0.25 hectares of land compared to 8% of the non-beneficiaries for three farming seasons reviewed. The land cultivated by the beneficiaries had a larger mean (M ₌ 2.00) than the land cultivated by the non-beneficiaries (M ₌ 1.59). Maize crop productivity by the beneficiaries had a larger mean (M ₌ 4.25) than the non-beneficiaries (M ₌ 2.45). There was a statistically significant difference in land cultivation and maize crop productivity between the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, with the former having more land cultivated and higher maize crop productivity than the latter. Administrative challenges in programme implementation were noticed. Farming inputs were received late and outside the planting period due to the centralised purchase system despite the beneficiaries performing better than the non-beneficiaries. Funds for the purchase of agricultural inputs were released late by the Zambian government. The study concluded that the food security pack programme had a significant positive effect on land cultivation and maize crop production for benefiting households. The study recommends decentralisation of the supply of farming inputs to the districts for timely delivery to the beneficiaries, increasing the number of beneficiaries, and timely release of funds for the purchase of farming inputs by the Zambian government.

Assessing the benefits of agroforestry beyond food security among households in Isingiro district, South-western Uganda
Authors:   University of Nairobi, Kamugisha M , Mutembei H ,   University of Nairobi, Thenya T ,   University of Nairobi
Published: December 2023

Globally, agroforestry and its capacity to offer a high yielding system are well known as a pathway for providing multiple benefits of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the households. In Uganda, household farmers adopt on-farm trees for various benefits such as soil erosion prevention, maintaining soil fertility, provision of shade, windbreaks, and climate regulation among others beyond food security. The study aimed at assessing the benefits of agroforestry beyond food security in Isingiro District. The study used a cross-sectional survey design to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. The number of household participants was 284. Multiple Linear Regression to analyse the association between dependent variable and numerous independent variables were employed. The study used Chi-Square tests to find out the statistical value of variables and their effect on agroforestry adoption. The study also used Multiple Regression Model to determine the degree to which selected variables were accountable for influencing agroforestry benefits beyond food security. The results indicated that 41% households in Kabaare, 37.0% in Kikokwa, and 22.0% in Kigyendwa practiced agroforestry. These percentages mean that agroforestry adoption is below the average (50%). The low adoption is attributed to factors such as land shortage, limited financial capacity, poor attitudes and perceptions. Of all the agroforestry adopters, only 21% of the households indicated that they had benefited from on-farm trees. This implies that majority 79% of those who did not practice agroforestry realized no benefits. The socio-economic factors that were positive and insignificant with a positive influence on household agroforestry benefits were the main occupation and income (0.001) while the family size and land size (0.288), land acreage used for food production and household size (0.553), land acreage and marital status (0.182) were insignificant. The study recommends intensive studies on household attitude, and perceptions about agroforestry practice in relation to other factors. The local government needs to review land policy, and strengthen its support to households in utilising their resources productively through on-farm tree adoption to attain diversified benefits.

Effects of bioavailability of macronutrients on overall control of plasma glucose: a review
Authors:   Strathmore University, Mwakalu S , Omwenga V ,   Strathmore University, Ogao P ,   Technical University of Kenya
Published: December 2023

Macronutrients play a crucial role in management of type 2 diabetes. This is seen in their ability to modulate plasma glucose concentrations. However, the ideal proportions of macronutrients to be consumed in order to maintain ideal plasma glucose concentrations remains elusive. Therefore, this paper set out to conduct a review to investigate the relationship between macronutrients and plasma glucose concentrations from a physiological perspective. The review was conducted using papers obtained from various databases such as MEDLINE (Pubmed), Open Access Journals Elsevier, Free Medical Journals and Google Scholar. The research papers included general reviews, systemic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized control trials that examined the effect of macronutrients on plasma glucose concentration as well as papers on mathematical models describing the relationship between macronutrient bioavailability and plasma glucose concentration. The review assessed the effect of various macronutrients on post-prandial plasma glucose concentration, post-prandial plasma insulin, post-prandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide plasma concentration, and post-prandial glucose-like peptide-1 plasma concentration. The results of the review showed that carbohydrates influence plasma glucose concentration in a dose dependant manner but this is dependent on their bioavailability. This bioavailability was shown to be subject to fluctuations determined by food processing techniques, food structure, and food matrix. The results also showed that some specific types of fats and proteins indirectly influence plasma glucose concentration through their effect on incretin hormones. The effect of fats and proteins on incretin hormones was through different mechanisms and pathways. In-lieu of the findings, the review concludes that the macronutrient composition of diets designed for type 2 diabetic patients should take into consideration the physiological relationship between the macronutrients and plasma glucose concentrations. In this way, diet proportions can be made in such a manner as to determine the exact amounts that will realize near normal plasma glucose concentrations for a type 2 diabetic patient.

Authors:   University of Fort Hare, Maroyi A
Published: December 2023

Local communities use plant resources from the surrounding environment for firewood, food and medicines, and for their livelihood maintenance, security and income generation. The different parts of Pouzolzia mixta Solms are characterized by nutritional, cultural and pharmaceutical properties. Pouzolzia mixta is a small tree or shrub which grows naturally in tropical woodlands and thickets of Africa and Asia. The current study is aimed at providing information on the biological and medicinal properties of P. mixta. Information on the biological and medicinal properties of P. mixta was obtained from online databases such as Scopus, JSTOR, Scimago, Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct, and pre-electronic sources such as books, journal articles, dissertations, book chapters, thesis and other scientific articles obtained from the University of Fort Hare library. This study showed that the leaves of P. mixta are used as culinary herb and leafy vegetable in tropical Africa and Asia. In south central Africa, the bark, leaves, roots and stems of P. mixta are used as ritual and protective charm, and traditional medicine to treat and manage 48 human and 13 animal diseases and ailments. The phytochemical evaluations of the species showed that the leaves and roots of the species are characterized by alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolics, steroids and tannins. The pharmacological assessments showed that the crude extracts of P. mixta leaves, roots and stems are characterized by antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-diabetic, anti-fertility and antioxidant activities. This review highlighted the food, pharmaceutical and health benefits of P. mixta in different countries in east and southern Africa, and Asia. Based on the results of this review, detailed ethnopharmacological evaluations of P. mixta focusing on phytochemistry, pharmacological properties and toxicological evaluations, in vivo and clinical research are recommended. The data from the current study should contribute to improved management and conservation of P. mixta in tropical Africa and Asia, considering concerns about anthropogenic pressure on plant biodiversity.

Dramaterapia: Aproximación a la construcción de sentidos de vida en jóvenes universitarios
Authors: Pineda Cárdenas Juliana , Zuluaga Valencia Juan Bernardo
Published: December 2023

¿Qué es el vivir sin el cuestionamiento sobre el sentido de la existencia? Para el presente documento se plantea cómo algo tan común y caótico como lo son las crisis existenciales, pueden encontrar trasformación y cambio por medio de la dramaterapia. Dicha herramienta terapéutica facilita la expresión emocional por medio del drama (actuación, juego, dramaturgia, máscara, entre otros elementos del arte teatral) y genera, en quienes participan, procesos de introspección potentes a partir de su darse cuenta, por medio de las preguntas provocadoras efectuadas por quien desempeña el rol de dramaterapia. Los síntomas sociales de vacío existencial terminan por generar dificultades a nivel emocional que pueden incluso llegar a cobrar la vida de quien los experimenta. Por tal motivo se decide trabajar con los jóvenes, dado que es la población a quien más le aqueja esta problemática; es decir que a partir de la dramaterapia se pretende proponer un camino que aproxime hacia dicha construcción del motivo para el cual los jóvenes quieren guiar su vida.Es una investigación mixta de corte fenomenológico y cuasiexperimental de diseño pretest postest del instrumento Purpose In Life (PIL), desarrollando nueve talleres dramaterapéuticos, como estrategia de intervención en nueve estudiantes universitarios. Las puntuaciones medias del pretest (91.8, 104, 120) aumentaron tras los talleres (111.4, 118, 123.50). La efectividad de la dramaterapia se sustenta desde múltiples variables (trabajo en equipo, apoyo colectivo, amor y la posibilidad de observación desde el exterior). La dramaterapia como estrategia en la intervención es una forma distinta, poco investigada y novedosa de trabajar a nivel emocional, pues brinda la posibilidad de tomar acción frente a su destino y la forma de ver y actuar en la vida.

Published: December 2023

Os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental são caracterizados por desafios interpessoais e acadêmicos, além de elevados níveis de abandono e reprovação escolar. Porém, há poucas pesquisas que visam investigar esse período da trajetória educativa, de modo a identificar recursos pessoais e contextuais. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar perfis de ajustamento psicossocial de estudantes, considerando fatores de risco (exposição à violência e discriminação cotidiana), proteção (apoio social e clima escolar) e indicador de ajustamento (satisfação de vida). Participaram 709 alunos que frequentavam o 7º, 8º e 9º ano escolas públicas. A análise de clusters indicou dois perfis: resiliente, com valores altos de indicadores de risco e bom ajustamento; vulnerável, com índices altos de risco e baixo ajustamento. Conclui-se que investir na redução dos fatores de risco e potencialização de fatores de proteção, por meio de programas preventivos, mostra-se essencial ao desenvolvimento.

Published: December 2023

Home visits are an intervention instrument of the Unified Social Assistance System and the main link between teams and families. This qualitative research aimed to understand the experience of home visits, from the perspective of families monitored by the Unified Social Assistance System. So, 12 in-depth interviews were conducted with people from the families visited. The data were organized and analyzed from the perspective of Grounded Theory, with the aid of the software Atlas.Ti 8.4. The results showed families with histories of vulnerabilities and violence, the interviewees were unaware of the reason for the home visit and built ambivalent bonds with the professionals. The need to reflect on the proposal of the community bond and the objectives of home visits, between families and professionals, is highlighted.
Causal attributions for poverty in citizens of Córdoba (Argentina): Psychometric analysis using CTT and IRT
Authors: Reyna Cecilia , Mola Débora Jeanette , Correa Pablo
Published: December 2023

The tripartite model proposed by Feagin (1972) is widely used, although empirical evidence does not always support it. Thus, we set out to obtain empirical evidence on the psychometric properties of a pool of items on causes of poverty using CTT and IRT. In this research/study, 280 citizens of Córdoba from 18 to 65 years old participated. Results from confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency showed acceptable values for the three-factor models. Results derived from IRT indicate that, in general, the items estimate a wide range of values of the latent traits, discriminating between people with different levels of trait. The need to gather new empirical evidence of Feagin’s proposal using complementary methods is highlighted.

Published: December 2023

A Truth Commission (TC) was carried out in Brazil (2012-2014) to investigate human rights violations perpetrated by state agents, especially during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). TCs are supposed to help societies on the reconstruction of social cohesion after authoritarian or violent periods. We conducted three studies with undergraduate students and adult samples between 2014 and 2017. Evaluating the TC as effective was related to higher punctuations on the variables of social cohesion, even controlling the effects of political positioning. The TC effectiveness perception was associated with the emotional reaction (both, negative or positive) and a positive attitude towards remembering the past. Nonetheless, we found some different results across the three studies. These differences are discussed.
Communicational confrontations: Longitudinal analysis of a media-based contest
Authors: SanMartín Ana N. , Asún Rodrigo , Zúñiga Claudia
Published: December 2023

The media-based communication between social movements and other actors is relevant to achieve their goals. This article addresses the dynamic and contentious aspects of the media-based communication generated by the Magallanes Social Movement and the Government of Chile. A quantitative analysis was made of 217 news and 499 quotations published during the events. The results indicate that the parties adopted differing communication strategies like making calls for action, talking positively about the own group, among others. Furthermore, the content of communications varied over time, but the strong relation between the communications issued and the occurrence of particular protest events suggests that while a communicational contest is certainly an interactive process, both camps do not just argue through the words, but also through the events that each camp organizes.

Published: December 2023

Tomando en cuenta, por una parte, que el cultivo de maní en el Ecuador ha perdido interés agrícola debido a su susceptibilidad ante enfermedades fúngicas, y por otra, que la aplicación de microorganismos del género Trichoderma controla eficientemente otras especies de patógenos, se decidió llevar a cabo este estudio. Para ello, se utilizó el Laboratorio de Sanidad Vegetal y el área experimental de la granja “Santa Inés” de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias en la Universidad Técnica de Machala. Se empleó un diseño de bloques completamente al azar, con 33 tratamientos, cuatro cepas de Trichoderma y la mezcla (Mix), dos concentraciones (1011 y 1012 esporas/L) en tres variedades de maní (INIAP 380, 381 y 382), tres testigos, con tres repeticiones, evaluando 15 plantas por dosis, con un total de 495 plantas. Las variables evaluadas fueron: altura de planta (cm), ramas principales/planta, peso 100 semillas (g), peso nódulos (g), número de semillas/vaina, número de semillas/planta, número de vainas/planta, peso de semillas por planta, incidencia de roya e incidencia de moho blanco. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que la aplicación de Mix incrementó la producción en todas las variedades y disminuyó la incidencia de la roya (Puccinia arachidis) en un 55 % y del moho blanco (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) en un 53 % en comparación con los testigos.

Published: December 2023

O desenvolvimento de materiais para a utilização na produção de equipamentos de proteção individual cresce a cada ano, porém muitos estudos deixam lacunas. É sabido que as fibras de carbono têm boas propriedades, porém possuem elevado custo, e que as fibras de kevlar® são utilizadas na blindagem veicular. A obtenção de um compósito híbrido kevlar®/carbono é o objeto deste trabalho, onde será avaliado por microscopia eletrônica de varredura a qualidade das peças e as propriedades mecânicas finais dos compósitos híbridos. Observou-se que a adição das fibras de carbono aumenta significativamente a rigidez do material sem influenciar tão significativamente na resistência mecânica final.
Eletrodeposição de Polipirrol em Liga de Alumínio 2024: Avaliação da Influência da Corrente de Deposição
Authors: M.L. Santos Diogo , R.  Oliveira Ivone , Y. Cho Liu
Published: December 2023

Um dos principais fatores que tornam as ligas de alumínio 2024 atrativas para a indústria aeroespacial é sua resistência mecânica, o que a torna adequada para suportar exigências significativas de carga, como componentes estruturais de aeronaves. Além de sua resistência mecânica, mesmo sendo categorizada como de alta resistência, a Liga 2024 possui uma notável leveza em comparação com outros metais, o que intensifica sua utilização nas indústrias automobilísticas e aeroespaciais. Por outro lado, para utilizar essa liga, é necessário passar por um processo de cromatização, um tratamento de superfície que envolve o uso de compostos químicos contendo cromo na forma de íons hexavalentes (Cr6+). Embora esse processo seja eficaz em melhorar a resistência à corrosão e a aderência de revestimentos em metais, incluindo ligas de alumínio, ele apresenta riscos à saúde e ao meio ambiente, como toxicidade, impacto ambiental, além de regulamentações e restrições sobre sua utilização. Portanto, se percebeu a importância de estudar a eletrodeposição de polímeros intrinsecamente condutores, como o polipirrol, como uma alternativa à proteção contra corrosão, tendo como evidência os resultados das análises de curva de Tafel. A caracterização morfológica dos discos revestidos foi obtida por Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura e Espectroscopia de Infravermelho por Transformada de Fourier.

Utilizou-se ácido fosfórico e ácido salicílico como dopantes das camadas interna e externa, respectivamente. A morfologia do revestimento foi investigada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura e indicou a formação de uma superfície homogênea e compacta. A composição do revestimento foi analisada por espectroscopia de infravermelho (FTIR) e indicou a presença de bandas características do polipirrol e dos dopantes. A eficiência de proteção contra corrosão do aço carbono foi avaliada por ensaios eletroquímicos de potencial de circuito aberto e de polarização potenciodinâmica, em meio agressivo de cloreto. Verificou-se um deslocamento do potencial de corrosão para a direção positiva e menores densidades de corrente anódicas para a superfície de aço carbono revestida com a bicamada de polipirrol em relação ao metal sem revestimento, indicando proteção da superfície metálica contra corrosão. Ademais, a morfologia do revestimento se manteve íntegra e sem falhas mesmo após o ensaio de polarização potenciodinâmica.

A miniaturização dos bens de consumo tem impulsionado o desenvolvimento de materiais nanoestruturados, e com isso a produção de precursores nanoestruturados baseados em poliacrilonitrila por eletrofiação vem ganhando campo nessa temática, e por conseguinte a conversão térmica deste material polimérico em material carbonoso. Este trabalho avalia a conversão térmica de nanofibras de poliacrilonitrila em nanofibras de carbono a partir de tratamento térmico nas temperaturas de 300 °C a 550 °C em ambiente inerte. Avaliou-se a perda de massa gerada durante o processo e os eventos termogravimétricos ocorridos na faixa de temperatura de estudo, onde observou-se que os eventos térmicos correm em temperaturas mais amenas quando comparado ao reportado na literatura para materiais microestruturados. A morfologia das nanofibras foram avaliadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura onde observou-se que com a conversão do material polimérico ocorre o aumento da rugosidade das fibras. As fases cristalinas dos compostos resultantes após o tratamento térmico foram avaliadas por espectroscopia por difração de raios X. Os resultados obtidos são promissores, porém o controle da câmara de tratamento deve ser rigoroso a fim de minimizar perda de massa excessiva por pirólise do material.

The field of open education and research on the topic has notably expanded since the introduction of the term 20 years ago. Given these developments, a framework to structure research inquiry is necessary to ground and organize findings in open education. We propose the SCOPE framework for open education research: social justice, cost, outcomes, perceptions, and engagement. In this article, we explain how this framework emphasizes the need for social justice at the forefront of open education research. In addition, we incorporate existing theories in social justice, motivation, cognition, pedagogy, and engagement into each of the components to propose theoretical connections to future open education research. We suggest areas in which future research is needed. Finally, we conclude with suggestions as to how the SCOPE framework may be useful when connecting open education to open science and open scholarship as well as a call for considering intersectionality and critical methods in quantitative research (QuantCrit) in future inquiry.
TerriStories®, despliegue de un juego responsable para reforzar, a largo plazo, una gestión autónoma del suelo y del medio ambiente

Published: December 2023

Aunque se ha reconocido que los enfoques participativos e integradores son necesarios para implicar a la población local en la gestión de los recursos y los territorios, su impacto suele ser escaso con el paso del tiempo, tanto a nivel local como en territorios más extensos. Teniendo esto en cuenta, a finales de los 90 un equipo del Cirad desarrolló un método basado en un juego responsable: TerriStories®. Los efectos de la primera experiencia, realizada en Senegal en 1998-1999, siguen haciéndose sentir a nivel local y nacional. El método, aplicado a la gestión de los territorios locales y luego a la definición de las normas nacionales de tenencia de la tierra y del medio ambiente, ha impulsado en todos los países donde se ha desplegado, propuestas colectivas endógenas que los propios actores proponen y aplican después en función de sus propias necesidades.
Juridical Implications of the Issuance of Covernotes by A Notary as Basis of Disbursing Credit of Banking

Notaries have the authority to make authentic deeds, apart from that notaries can also sometimes issue certificates or commonly known as covernotes. The legal consequences and limitations of liability for publishing a covernote in this case are examined. For example, in the Makassar District Court Decision Number 112/Pid.Sus.TPK/2017/PN and Banyuwangi District Court Decision Number 253/Pdt.G/2020/PN Byw which states that the covernote is used as a basis for disbursing credit at the bank. On what basis is the covernote used as the basis for credit disbursement? Because in this case it could have implications for the notary who will be involved in a legal case involving the covernote he published. The aim of writing this article is to find out, reveal and find out the notary's impression regarding the covernote he publishes. This writing uses a normative juridical approach, using primary and secondary legal sources. Primary legal materials are obtained from statutory regulations and secondary legal materials are obtained from library materials, archives and documents related to the research object. The results of the discussion show that the juridical application of covernotes is not a notarial legal product as regulated in the Law on the Position of Notaries, but is only a certificate issued at the request of the parties so that it does not give rise to rights and obligations for the parties. The covernote is a pure form of trust and moral bond from the creditor towards the notary as a public official who is neutral, independent and impartial in helping the public to support business relations transactions in the era of competitive economic development. Responsibility for the information in the covernote is the personal responsibility of the notary.

Related to the enactment of Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 10/POJK.03/2016 concerning Fulfillment of Rural Bank Regulations and the Transformation of Village Credit Agencies that are Granted Status as Rural Credit Banks. As regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1), which stipulates that BPR provisions must be fulfilled by BKD, namely institutional, prudential principles, financial reporting and transparency, as well as the application of accounting standards for BPR. However, in reality, not all BKD practices can fulfill the requirements for transformation into BPR, this is because BKD does not have a position as a legal entity, but has a unique work system, namely management which is carried out with simple integrated time, namely operational time which is only carried out at certain times and not every day carrying out operational activities. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach, and legal materials are analyzed using a deductive method. The results of this research are that the transition of BKD to LKM is based on OJK regulation no. 10/POJK.03/2016 relating to the fulfillment of BKD transition provisions has a significant impact on BKD. This regulation requires BKD to change its legal entity status.
Azerbejdżan a uczestnictwo mniejszości narodowych w sprawach publicznych w świetle mechanizmu kontrolnego Konwencji ramowej o ochronie mniejszości narodowych i wyzwań przyszłości
Authors: Wereszko Wojciech
Published: December 2023

Azerbejdżan jest państwem, które zamieszkują liczne mniejszości narodowe i które szczyci się panującą w kraju tolerancją oraz realizowaną przez władze polityką „azerbejdżańskiego multikulturalizmu”. Jako strona Konwencji ramowej o ochronie mniejszości narodowych Republika Azerbejdżanu musi spełniać określone standardy ochrony mniejszości i podlega monitoringowi, który wykazał między innymi, że państwo to zdaje się nie stwarzać odpowiednich warunków dla rzeczywistego uczestniczenia przez osoby należące do mniejszości narodowych w sprawach publicznych, zwłaszcza tych, które ich dotyczą. Głównymi założeniami niniejszej pracy są zatem ustalenie oraz ocena stanu zapewniania przez Azerbejdżan partycypacji mniejszości narodowych w sprawach publicznych. Analizowane będą przede wszystkim dokumenty związane z procedurami kontrolnymi Konwencji ramowej — tym samym zostaną one przybliżone na przykładzie Azerbejdżanu. Podjęcie tego zagadnienia zdaje się mieć również dużą wartość praktyczną w kontekście trwającego sporu o Górski Karabach i pojawiających się obaw o los zamieszkujących go Ormian w przypadku powrotu tego regionu pod kontrolę Baku.
