Authors: Dzhuzha Oleksandr , Siuravchyk Valerii , Shumeiko Tatiana
Published: April 2024

The relevance of this study is substantiated by the need to implement a strategy of public influ- ence on crime, to improve police-public interaction in the field of crime prevention, new forms and meth- ods of which can be implemented in the activities of the National Police. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive investigation of the practices of involvement of the public, community-based organisations, and individuals in police activities aimed at preventing offences, and of the legal frame- work in this area. According to the purpose and objectives set, the study employed general and special methods and techniques of scientific cognition, including the methods of analysis, synthesis, classification and grouping, which made it possible to investigate a wide scope of scientific discussions on the issues raised. Based on the analysis of secondary sources, it was found that researchers state a prominent level of public trust in the police and other law enforcement agencies, as well as in state and local governments in economically developed countries. Most researchers attribute this to the positive results and consequences of involving the public, community-based organisations, and individuals in policing activities to prevent crime, protect public safety and order, and protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. It was found that in the modern scientific discourse, such successes are associated with the establishment of effective channels of communication between the police and the public and legislative regulation of such interaction. In this regard, the study elucidated the views of researchers on the approaches to regulatory support for the in- volvement of the public, community-based organisations, and individuals in police activities in preventing offences in different countries. The study argued the need for legislative consolidation of certain forms and methods of involvement of the public, community-based organisations, and individuals in police activities aimed at protecting public safety and order, protecting life, health and property of citizens, and preventing criminal offences. The review of the current state of scientific research on the issue formed the basis for further theoretical developments in the field of organising effective interaction between law enforcement agencies and society

Published: April 2024

El Asesoramiento Genético Oncológico (AGO) es el proceso a través del cual se estratifica el riesgo genético de desarrollar cáncer de un individuo o grupo familiar y es un estándar de cuidado con comprobado beneficio. Recientemente, se sumó el desarrollo de drogas dirigidas específicamente a algunos tipos de tumores hereditarios, lo cual convierte a estas alteraciones genéticas en biomarcadores de tratamiento e incorpora el diagnóstico de cáncer hereditario a la práctica oncológica habitual. En consecuencia, las indicaciones actuales de estudios germinales exceden la sospecha clínica de cáncer hereditario y desafían a médicos tratantes a cubrir las implicancias heredo-familiares de estos casos. La realidad descripta plantea un cambio de paradigma en el modelo actual de AGO que debe ser modificado sin descuidar la calidad de atención brindada al paciente y para el que no existen recomendaciones oficiales actualmente disponibles en nuestro medio.

Mediante un trabajo escalonado iniciado con una revisión sistemática de la evidencia actual de los últimos 10 años (trabajos aleatorizados, controlados, revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis), seguido de un diagnóstico de situación a través de una encuesta a profesionales involucrados en la temática en todo el país, se desarrolló un protocolo de recomendaciones sobre el rol del asesoramiento genético oncológico en el marco de la oncología de precisión. El protocolo está dirigido a médicos tratantes y aborda las distintas instancias del proceso de AGO (recomendaciones generales, específicas de instancia pre-test, de solicitud del estudio molecular germinal y específicas de instancia post-test).

El presente trabajo genera pautas basadas en la mejor evidencia disponible que ayudan a sistematizar el accionar de los profesionales involucrados y promueve iniciativas colaborativas entre entidades gubernamentales de salud, decisores, sociedades médicas y entidades académicas de formación para asegurar el desarrollo formal de estos procesos de acción y cumplir con una adecuada estrategia de cuidado de tumores hereditarios en nuestra población.
Peculiarities of the impact of learning losses on the formation of human capital in Ukraine under martial law
Authors: Ponomarenko Volodymyr , Pysarchuk Oksana
Published: April 2024

During the period of the pandemic and martial law, Ukraine has lost a significant part of its human capital: assessing these losses and developing proposals for their restoration is especially relevant in the context of the need to restore Ukraine’s economy in the post-war period. The purpose of the article was to study and systematize the causes of human capital losses and their structure, to determine the impact of learning losses on the formation of human capital, as well as to summarize proposals for compensation for learning losses and restoration of human capital. As a result of the analysis of the scientific works, a number of factors have been identified that affect the level of learning losses and learning gaps due to quarantine restrictions in various countries of the world, namely, Germany, Spain, Belgium, China. The systematization of information made it possible to group the factors that affect learning losses in Ukraine, with the allocation of groups of factors that are due to the restriction of opportunities to attend educational institutions, and groups of factors that have arisen as a result of hostilities in Ukraine. The paper substantiates the existence of regional differences in the occurrence of learning losses and their impact on the formation of human capital. The clustering of regions has been carried out on the basis of losses of entrants in educational institutions and the region’s contribution to the creation of the gross domestic product of Ukraine. The results of the clustering made it possible to determine the priority directions for the restoration of human capital. Based on the research results, measures to eliminate learning losses and learning gaps for educational institutions of various levels are proposed, which can be applied in practice in the post-war reconstruction of the country’s economy

Authors: Bereza Matt
Published: April 2024

This chapter explores and describes the complex tapestry of peace and the challenges that have emerged in Honduras following the era of dictatorship. It aims to shed light on the nation’s path towards the establishment of democratic institutions amid a backdrop of political and economic turmoil. The research is based on an investigative journey through Honduras, exploring four distinct regions, each with its unique story and struggle. In the Aguán Valley, the focus is on the community’s fight against extractive corporations, highlighting the campesinos’ defense of their land from the encroachment of palm oil magnates. The Island of Roatán offers insights into the Garifuna’s efforts to safeguard their territories from the ambitions of developers. Meanwhile, Choloma serves as a view into the textile workers’ challenges, encompassing their labor difficulties. Lastly, the capital city, Tegucigalpa, provides a stage for engaging with a beverage union, and discussions with the US and Canadian embassies and governmental representatives surrounding the Castro presidency and progress. Through this comprehensive examination, the chapter endeavors to present an overarching view of Honduras’ continued struggle for peace, sovereignty, and justice in the aftermath of dictatorial governance.

Authors: Oliyaierezaie Amir , Zarredar Habib , Asadi Milad , Zafari Venus , Shanebandi Dariush , Soleimani Zahra , Firoozi Mohammad-Reza , Ghasembaglou Shahram
Published: April 2024

Background: Laryngeal tumor is the most commonly identified malignancy in head and neck cancers, containing 2.4% of all cancers, and is the 11th most prevalent and fatal cancer in the world. Previous research has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) have a significant role in the progression of laryngeal tumors. Additionally, research focuses on the association with the clinical function of miRNA in malignancy. Objectives: Based on previous research, miR-132, miR-302, miR-126, and miR-205 have potential roles in the tumor development of the LSCC. Then, in the current study, we pointed to study if there are any significant alters in the expression of microRNAs and whether they have any significant possibility as a diagnostic or prognostic factor for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: From 30 LSCC patients, we have collected tumor and marginal healthy tissues through laryngectomy. Total RNA extraction from the marginal healthy and malignancy tissues was done. Next, we control the quality of the RNAs and, then, synthesize cDNA. Lastly, the expression of the miRNAs was evaluated by qPCR. The expression level of genes and their association with the patient’s clinicopathological features were studied, using related statistical tests. Results: miR-132 (P = 0.0001, fold change: 1.28) and miR-302 (P = 0.0001, fold change: 1.o5) are significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues compared to normal peripheral tissues. Furthermore, we revealed that miR-205 (P < 0.0001, fold change: 0.241) and miR-126 (P = 0.0001, fold change: 0.251) are low expressed in LSCC cancer tissue. Between these miRNAs, gust expression of the miR-205 had no relationship with clinical-pathological characteristics in malignancy tissue. Conclusions: The results of the current study showed the possibility of miR-302, miR-132, miR-126, and miR-205 as diagnostic or prognostic factors in LSCC.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) disrupts bone metabolism, leading to slowed bone development, poor bone quality, and osteoporosis. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine changes in the bones of adolescents with type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using fractal dimension (FD) analysis method and panoramic radiomorphometric indices. Methods: Fractal dimension values and radiomorphometric measurements of 36 children with T1DM and 36 healthy individuals were compared using panoramic radiographs. The panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mental index (MI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), amount of alveolar bone resorption (AABR), antegonial index (AI), and gonial index (GI) were measured. Mandibular cortical index (MCI) was recorded as C1, C2, and C3 classes. Results: For the angulus and corpus regions, the T1DM patient group had lower FD values, and there was a statistically significant difference between the T1DM patient group and the control group (P = 0.003, P = 0.029). Mental index, MCW, and AI values were higher in the control group than in the T1DM patient group and were statistically significant (P = 0.014, P = 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: In this study examining the mandible in pediatric patients with T1DM using radiomorphometric measurements and fractal analysis method, it can be concluded that T1DM affects bone morphology and trabecular structure

Authors: Şimşek Çağla , Koruyucu Mine
Published: April 2024

Dental anksiyete; belirgin bir kaynağı olmayan, dental uyaran ve prosedürlere karşı aşırı korku ile kendini gösteren özel bir anksiyete türüdür. Anksiyete yaşayan çocuk ve gençler, muayene ve tedavi esnasında çeşitli davranış bozuklukları sergileyebilir; huzursuzluktan öfke nöbetlerine kadar farklı tepkiler gösterebilirler. Bazı durumlarda, tedavi sırasında yaşadıkları ciddi ağrılar uygun bakımla hafifletilebilecek dahi olsa tedaviyi reddetme eğiliminde olabilirler. Bugüne kadar yapılan araştırmalar, farmakolojik ve farmakolojik olmayan çeşitli davranış yönlendirme teknikleri aracılığıyla dental kaygının yönetilmesi amacıyla literatüre katkı sağlamıştır. Klinik çalışmaya uyum sağlayamayan hastalarda diş hekimleri, ileri seviye davranış yöntemleri olan sedasyon ve genel anestezi metotları ile çalışmaktadır. Bilişsel davranışçı terapi (BDT), gençler ve çocuklar arasında sıkça kullanılan bir terapi yaklaşımıdır ve psikopatolojilerin tedavi edilmesi ve önlenmesinde kanıta dayalı bir yöntem olarak kabul edilmektedir. BDT, insan davranışlarını ve psikopatolojilerini temelde bilişsel ve davranışsal kuramlar çerçevesinde açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, düşünceler, duygular ve davranışlar arasındaki karmaşık ilişkilere odaklanır. Özellikle çocuklar ve gençler arasında, uygun tekniklerle uygulandığında anksiyete bozuklukları, depresyon, yıkıcı davranış bozuklukları ve dışa dönük davranış sorunlarının etkili bir şekilde tedavi edilmesinde başarı sağlamaktadır. Bu derleme ile diş hekimlerinin anksiyete, dental anksiyete ve bilişsel davranışçı terapi kavramları ile tanıştırılması ve klinik uyum sağlayamayan hastalarda gerekli yönlendirmelerin teşviki hedeflenmektedir.

Hayvan deneyleri, hayvanların bilimsel çalışmalarda etik ilkeler doğrultusunda kontrollü olarak kullanılmasıdır. Deneysel in vivo araştırmalarda denek kullanmak bir zorunluluktur; bu yüzden deney hayvanları insan deneklere bir alternatif olmuştur. In vitro deneyler ile elde edilen verilerin klinik uygulamalardan uzak olması sebebiyle sınırlı bilgi sağlarlar. İyi tasarlanmış bir hayvan deneyi, insanlarda gelecekteki klinik deneyler için temel bilgiler sağlar. Hayvan deneyleri, hastalıklar hakkında bilgi edinilmesinde, yeni bir ilaç veya cerrahi tekniğin test edilmesinde bilime önemli katkılar sağlamıştır. Diş hekimliği alanında, özelikle de endodonti alanında da birçok çalışmada hayvan modelleri kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmaların yapılabilmesi için öncellikli olarak uygun bir hayvan modeli ve etik ilkeler ile
elde edilecek sonuçların uyarlanabilir olması gerekir. Dental anomalilerin, morfolojinin, hastalık süreci ve iyileşmesinin tüm yönlerini gösteren tek bir hayvan modeli olmadığı için, genellikle hastalık ve tedavi mekanizmaları hakkında bilgi sağlayan spesifik modeller kullanılmaktadır. Diş hekimliği araştırmalarında, maymun, köpek, tavşan, koyun, domuz, gelincik, sıçan ve fareler hayvan modelleri için kullanılmaktadır.
Çalışmanın amacı, hipotezi, uygulanacak analiz teknikleri ve elde edilecek sonuçların insan için uyarlanabileceği hayvan modeli seçilmelidir. Çalışmada kullanılan deney hayvanlarının refahı, yasa ve yönetmeliklerine uygun olmalıdır ve hayvanların gereksiz acı ve sıkıntıya maruz kalmaması sağlanmalıdır.

Towards many-class classification of materials based on their spectral fingerprints
Authors: Richter Matthias , Beyerer Jürgen
Published: April 2024

Hyperspectral sensors are becoming cheaper and more available to the public. It is reasonable to assume that in the near future they will become more and more ubiquitous. This gives rise to many interesting applications, for example identification of pharmaceutical products and classification of food stuffs. Such applications require a precise models of the underlying classes, but hand-crafting these models is not feasible. In this paper, we propose to instead learn the model from the data using machine learning techniques. We investigate the use of two popular methods: support vector machines and random forest classifiers. In contrast to similar approaches, we restrict ourselves to linear support vector machines. Furthermore, we train the classifiers by solving the primal, instead of dual optimization problem. Our experiments on a large dataset show that the support vector machine approach is superior to random forest in classification accuracy as well as training time.

Conway-Maxwell-Poisson profile monitoring with rk-Shewhart control chart: a comparative study
Authors: Mammadova Ulduz
Published: April 2024

A control chart is an essential tool in Statistical Quality Control for monitoring the production process. It provides a visual means of identifying process irregularities. In this study, we focus on the Shewhart control chart based on the rk-deviance residuals, namely rk-Shewhart control charts to examine the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson (COM-Poisson) profile, which is used to model the count data with varying degrees of dispersion. The primary goal of this study is to identify the biasing parameter that produces the best result among newly presented biasing parameters developed based on existing ones. It provides a short overview of the COM-Poisson distribution, its modeling, and rk parameter estimation in the case of multicollinearity, as well as the construction of the deviance-residual-based Shewhart chart. To evaluate the performance of the rk-Shewhart, we conduct an analysis using a real-life data set, considering various shift sizes. By employing different biasing parameters, we examine the effectiveness of the rk-Shewhart control chart. The performance evaluation outcomes of the rk-Shewhart charts are compared to the ML-deviance-based Shewhart chart and within themselves based on the biasing parameters. The results demonstrate the advantage of the rk-Shewhart charts over the ML-deviance-based control chart in detecting out-of-control signals. Among the considered biasing parameters, the rk-Shewhart chart utilizing the adjusted biasing parameter k_4 shows the best performance based on the ARL metric.

Authors: Chehabeddine Hiba , Chehabeddine Mouna , Abdo Hiba , Nasrallah Inaam , El-Kak Assem , Hatem Georges
Published: April 2024

This four-month study investigated the impact of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) sessions on the strengths and difficulties of 128 elementary school students from a private school in Lebanon. Paired T-test and Pearson correlation analyses examined changes in behavior and academic performance pre and post-NLP intervention. The findings revealed a significant reduction in headaches, stomachaches, and overall negative emotions such as unhappiness, depression, or tearfulness after NLP sessions. Although the cases group had a higher proportion of females, no notable gender-based differences were observed. Positive correlations were identified between student age and emotional and conduct scores. While there was a decrease in reported fights and bullying post-intervention, it did not reach statistical significance. The study advocates for integrating NLP into traditional medical treatment programs, emphasizing its potential as a non-medical intervention, especially in integrated pain management strategies. The research underscores NLP’s role in addressing emotional and behavioral challenges among students.
Resistance of HVOF-Sprayed Cr3C2-25NiCr and WC-10CO-4Cr coatings to cavitation and erosion by mud jetting
Authors: D. H. Androw , Dhairiyasamy Ratchagaraja
Published: April 2024

This study investigates chromium carbide-based coating material’s cavitation and erosion resistance with 25% nickel-chromium. (Cr3C2-25NiCr) and tungsten carbide coating with 10% cobalt and 4% chromium (WC-10CO-4Cr) coatings deposited by high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying. The coatings were characterized by microstructure, porosity, hardness, and fracture toughness. Cavitation tests were performed in distilled water and water-sand mixtures to assess the synergistic effect of erosion and cavitation. Erosion tests were conducted using a mud jet at different impact angles (30°, 60°, 90°). The Cr3C2-25NiCr coating exhibited higher cavitation resistance due to its higher fracture toughness and lower porosity. However, the WC-10CO-4Cr coating showed superior erosion resistance, attributed to its finer and more homogeneously distributed carbides. The dominant wear mechanisms were micro grooving, carbide detachment, and cracking. The impact angle significantly influenced the erosion rates, with ductile materials like CA6NM steel being more susceptible at lower angles, while brittle coatings showed the opposite behavior. The findings highlight the importance of coating properties and test conditions on the wear performance, providing valuable insights for selecting suitable coatings for hydropower applications.

Este artículo es un análisis de una operación proyectada porla Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)para miembros del Servicio Vasco de Información (SVI) durante la Guerra Fría. Se centra en la figura de Ramón Sota MacMahon, y se estudia su relación con el jefe de operativos de la CIA en Latinoamérica, Joseph Caldwell King, para el entrenamiento de un grupo paramilitar vasco y la implementación de una misión de contrainsurgencia en el Caribe. Previamente se realiza un recorrido por la trayectoria del SVI, atendiendo a sus principales contactos y labores para las agencias norteamericanas, y se cierra con diferentes conclusiones e interrogantes derivados de los documentos inéditos que aquí se revelan y que invitan a lanzar hipótesis que vinculan a las agencias señaladas con la eclosión de grupos armados en el seno de la resistencia vasca al franquismo.
Internacional Socialista, Felipe González y Bettino Craxi en la definición de una política comunitaria: el caso de Nicaragua
Authors: Fazio Luciana
Published: April 2024

Este artículo muestra, a través del caso nicaragüense, cómo el Partido Socialista Italiano de Bettino Craxi y el Partido Socialista Español de Felipe González se interesaron en América Latina y buscaron definir una política común y comunitaria hacia Centroamérica. De hecho, en la década de los ochenta, los socialistas españoles e italianos incluyeron las preocupaciones latinoamericanas en el seno de la Comunidad.Por primera vez, la Comunidad comenzó a interesarse por los aspectos políticos y sociales de la región.En este acercamiento birregional, la Internacional Socialista desempeñó también un papel importante pues este organismo le permitió a González y a Craxi internacionalizar sus partidos, estrechar vínculos internacionales y, de alguna manera, definir sus políticas exteriores. El estudio de estas relaciones resulta hoy en día importante porque constituye el fundamento sobre el cual se construyó toda la estructura que rige las relaciones euro-latinoamericanas del presente.

Colonial Encounter and Imperial Legacy in Paul Scott’s The Jewel in the Crown
Authors: Harenda Olivier
Published: April 2024

The article explores the issues of colonial encounter as well as imperial legacy on the basis of Paul Scott’s The Jewel in the Crown novel from 1966. The imperial project was heavily promoted by the authorities in the 19th century, but the dissolution of the Empire between the 1940s and the 1960s led to the emergence of a critical type of historical fiction crafted by British writers who experienced the imperial system at first hand. The Jewel in the Crown exemplifies complex attitudes as well as archetypal patterns among the colonisers and the natives in British India. The analysis shows that the coloniser is a failed figure who is unable to understand and co-exist with the colonised.

Authors: Lages Lino Lillian , Parra Duarte Cristiano , Silva Pitinga da Rosa Karen Susan
Published: April 2024

Como as abordagens sintéticas (Modelo de Múltiplos Fluxos; Teoria do Equilíbrio Pontuado; Modelo de Coalizões de Defesa) estão sendo incorporadas no Brasil para se analisar políticas públicas? Esse mapeamento no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Capes tem por objetivo apresentar um panorama sobre como as análises de políticas públicas vêm se apropriando das abordagens sintéticas em pesquisas de pós-graduação no Brasil entre 2000 e 2019 a fim de entender que objetos são estudados, onde essas pesquisas são produzidas, que pesquisadores têm orientado esses trabalhos e qual o cenário de aplicação em pesquisas por pesquisadores brasileiros. Os resultados indicam para um processo recente de expansão das abordagens sintéticas no Brasil, com esforços individualizados e relacionados sobretudo às políticas sociais. Com este mapeamento, contribuímos para com o debate de internacionalização do campo de políticas públicas brasileiro, apontando tendências e possibilidades de estudos.
O ESTADO E AS POLÍTICAS DE CT&I
Authors: Gusmão Ribeiro Laura
Published: April 2024

Decorrente de análises feitas a partir da literatura, percebe-se que a temática de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (CT&I) ainda é pouco explorada. E por que é tão recente a discussão sobre políticas públicas em CT&I? Para responder a esta pergunta, o presente artigo propõe-se a apresentar uma revisão da literatura acerca dos principais conceitos e modelos de políticas públicas de ciência, tecnologia e especialmente na incorporação da inovação nas agendas brasileiras, buscando sintetizar o estado-da-arte da área e mapeando como se consolidou o cenário brasileiro frente a uma nova demanda de políticas. Aqui, apresentaremos os conceitos e implicações teóricas, como as políticas nacionais foram constituídas e o posicionamento institucional – do papel do Estado como promotor, fomentador e indutor de CT&I - frente à novas demandas advindas do mercado, que proporcionaram a mudança das políticas nacionais e subnacionais. Na última sessão, concluiremos como foram construídas as políticas nacionais e a incorporação da de inovação na agenda
O SETOR SECUNDÁRIO NO TERRITÓRIO DO MATO GROSSO DO SUL:

Published: April 2024

A industrialização brasileira pode ser apontada como um dos principais fatores de desenvolvimento econômico do país. Esse processo teve alguns pequenos focos no período colonial, porém se aprofundou no período pós-colonial. Passou por um período de grande desenvolvimento no Estado de São Paulo devido ao acúmulo de capital gerado pelo crescimento da produção de café e pela participação dos investimentos públicos em infraestrutura para escoar a produção paulista, gerando receita e aumento da produtividade dos cafeicultores no Estado de São Paulo. Com o passar dos anos, outros Estados também passaram por um processo semelhante, como por exemplo, o Mato Grosso do Sul. Apesar de não exercer uma influência muito expressiva no PIB do MS, a indústria possui diversos setores importantes, e.g. a indústria extrativista, representada pelas minas de extração de ferro e manganês, localizadas nas cidades de Corumbá e Ladário, dentre outros setores industriais importantes, pode-se destacar a produção têxtil, a de celulose e a de alimentos, além da agroindústria, que possui um peso dentro da indústria do MS.
ANÁLISE DO USO E OCUPAÇÃO DO SOLO DA APA DO LAJEADO, CAMPO GRANDE (MS), AO LONGO DE DEZ ANOS (2010-2020)
Authors: Gavioli Diniz Felipe , Takahasi Adriana
Published: April 2024

A APA dos mananciais do Córrego Lajeado localiza-se em Campo Grande (MS) e conta com 52,37 km2, dividida entre zona rural (66%) e urbana (34%). Esta unidade de conservação foi criada para a conservação de um dos principais mananciais para o abastecimento de água do município, mas que tem sofrido redução de sua vazão. Assim, nosso objetivo foi avaliar as alterações que ocorreram na vegetação, uso e ocupação da terra no período de 2010 a 2020. O mapeamento utilizou imagens Landsat 5 TM (2010) e Sentinel-2 (2020) e softwares Google Earth e Qgis 3.16.5. Foram determinadas catorze categorias de vegetação, uso e ocupação do solo para a produção de mapas temáticos com a aplicação de NDVI. A maior parte da área é ocupada por pastagens (39%) e sofreu uma pequena redução (2%) ao longo do período avaliado. As edificações ocupam 22% do total da área com aumento de 3,4% em 2020. A vegetação nativa teve um discreto aumento, especialmente ao longo dos cursos d’água, ocupando quase 25% da área total da APA. Além de se registrar o aumento da erosão do solo principalmente próximos às nascentes de alguns corpos hídricos nota-se a intensificação de fluxo de pessoas e veículos próximos ao Aeroporto Santa Maria que podem aumentar a pressão sobre os recursos naturais. Assim, sugerimos implementação de novas estratégias de manejo como a adoção de infraestrutura verde nos bairros e incentivo à restauração de ecossistemas na zona rural, além de uma gestão ambiental participativa.

Authors: Krieser Bauermann Andressa , Dos Santos Sampaio Fernando
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho propõe analisar o papel das feiras agropecuárias na difusão da tecnificação agrícola na Região Sul do Brasil, tendo como recortes a Expointer, a Expodireto Cotrijal e o Show Rural Coopavel. O trabalho se divide em cinco momentos. Na introdução foram abordadas as bases teóricas que embasaram a pesquisa. Num segundo momento mostra-se o processo histórico de formação de feiras e exposições no mundo e no Brasil, enfatizando a Região Sul. No terceiro momento é feito a análise da dinâmica espacial e econômica da Expodireto Cotrijal, Expointer e Show Rural Coopavel. No quarto momento foi realizada uma análise comparativa das feiras, frisando os fatores que exercem maior influência sobre a variação de público e comercialização. No quinto momento apresenta-se as considerações finais. Com o trabalho foi possível observar que aspectos como a produção do ano safra, a qual pode ter sido afetada por um período de estiagem ou chuva intensa; a disponibilidade de crédito (aumento e reduções); alta ou baixa na taxa de juros; inflação; crise econômica ou política; períodos de instabilidade ou crescimento do próprio agronegócio afetam as feiras, porém com diferentes intensidades, demonstrando que elas acompanham e reagem a fatores políticos, econômicos e de produção.

Published: April 2024

A paisagem é composta por fatores físicos, bióticos e culturais que integram a Biodiversidade e a Geodiversidade, e tais elementos são determinantes para o potencial turístico. O presente estudo visou caracterizar a paisagem de uma região turística do Estado de São Paulo, seus elementos da Geodiversidade, da biodiversidade e culturais. Ademais, buscou-se correlacioná-los às categorias do Patrimônio Geológico do Estado de São Paulo, destacando, desse modo, potencialidades e as demandas existentes para o desenvolvimento do Geoturismo. Dentre estes, destacam-se diversos produtos e serviços relacionados aos elementos da Geodiversidade, sobretudo os produtos agrícolas, unidades de relevo, as quedas d’água e os recursos hídricos subterrâneos. Pretende-se que tais informações constituam subsídios para ações gestoras e educativas na região com vistas ao desenvolvimento regional aliado à Geoconservação, tendo em vista o potencial dos recursos naturais locais.
DESARROLLO DE LA PRODUCCIÓN VITIVINÍCOLA EN JUJUY, ARGENTINA: PROMOCIÓN DE LA “RUTA DEL VINO” DE EXTREMA ALTURA Y VIÑEDOS DE LOS VALLES TEMPLADOS
Authors: Braticevic Sergio Ivan
Published: April 2024

En este artículo, se presenta -por primera vez- un relevamiento integral y detallado de los viñedos y bodegas de la Provincia de Jujuy, en clave con el desarrollo del turismo regional; a través de la promoción de la “ruta del vino” en la Quebrada de Humahuaca y valles templados del sur provincial. Asimismo, se describen las caracteríticas agronómicas y enológicas; mientras que se intenta mostrar el terroir vitivinícola local y sus potencialidades, de acuerdo a los servicios ofrecidos, la accesibilidad y el potencial turístico. Todo ello, en vistas del incremento de la producción de vinos con “indicación geográfica”, el crecimiento del turismo y la generación de nuevas fuentes de empleo en el espacio objeto. De este modo, se entiende al territorio como un ámbito contradictorio entre distintos usos del suelo, donde opera el mercado inmobiliario, con la consecuente valorización de la tierra; empujada tanto por la industria turística, como por la emergente producción vitivinícola.
