Published: December 2022

Background: in this report, we describe the case of an 83-year-old woman vaccinated with ChadOx1 nCoV-19 who developed a so-called vaccine-induced thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and who did not develop any antibodies against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 at 30 days following the administration of her first dose of ChadOx1 nCoV-19. Experimental section: two serum samples from the patient and 5 serum samples from 5 control individuals having received the two-dose regimen vaccination with ChadOx1 nCoV-19 were evaluated. In order to investigate the lack of response to the vaccination, a cell model was developed. This model permits to evaluate the interaction between responsive cells (A549) possessing the Coxsackievirus and Adenovirus Receptor (CAR), a defined concentration of ChadOx1 nCoV-19 and serial dilution of the patient or the control serum. The aim was to assess the impact of these sera on the production of the spike (S) protein induced by the transfection of the genetic material of ChadOx1 nCoV-19 into the A549 cells. The S protein is measured in the supernatant using an ELISA technique. Results: interestingly, the serum from the patient who developed the vaccine-induced thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome impaired the production of S protein by the A549 cells transfected with ChadOx1 nCoV-19. This was not observed with the controls who did not interfere with the transfection of ChadOx1 nCoV-19 into A549 cells since the S protein is retrieved in the supernatant fraction. Conclusion: based on the data coming from the clinical and the cell model information, we found a possible explanation on the absence of antibody response in our patient. She has, or has developed, characteristics that prevent the production of the S protein in contrast to control subjects. We were not able to investigate the entire mechanism behind this resistance which deserve further investigations. A link between this resistance and the development of the thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following vaccination with ChadOx1 nCoV-19 cannot be excluded.

Published: December 2022

In the context of the rapid development of new media such as network citizen journalism, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to use the online public opinion to supervise sewage discharge enterprises’ emission governance behaviors and improve the social opinion supervision mechanism. This paper considers the dynamic characteristics of the spread process of public opinion and the game process of social supervision on corporate pollution control; constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of the local government, sewage discharge enterprises, and the public by coupling the susceptible–exposed–infected–removed (SEIR) model and the evolutionary game model; and discusses the influence laws of public opinion spread on the tripartite evolutionary game. The results show that (1) the public with higher influence or authority has a more significant restraint effect to restrain the pollution control behavior of the local government and pollutant companies by using online public opinion supervision. (2) Increasing the probability of transforming a latent person into a supervisor and the topic derivative rate or reducing the probability of a supervisor’s self-healing can increase the peak value of supervisors, expand the scope of social public opinion, and improve the effectiveness of public opinion supervision. (3) The relatively high authenticity of public opinion supervision makes public opinion supervision a substitute for local government supervision, but it has a relatively strong inhibitory effect on the over-standard pollutant discharge behavior of sewage discharge enterprises. These conclusions can provide a reference for improving the social supervision mechanism of pollution control in the era of network citizen journalism.

Authors: Cruz Portorreal Yanet , Reyes Dominguez Orlando Joel , Milanes Celene B. , Mestanza-Ramón Carlos , Cuker Benjamin , Pérez Montero Ofelia
Published: December 2022

Carbon stored in mangroves is valuable for climate change mitigation. Managing the carbon stored in the mangrove requires an adequate legal framework and an environmental policy. In Cuba, there is little research on the capacity of mangroves to retain carbon and its articulation in environmental policy and management. In the present study, the following research question is raised: Is there a favorable context in the environmental policy to manage the mangrove as a carbon reservoir in Cuba? The aim of this research is to identify aspects of environmental policy, legal and administrative frameworks related to managing mangroves as a carbon sink in Cuba. The qualitative method of social research, the content analysis technique, and the modified Ibero-American Network for Integrated Coastal Management (IBERMAR) decalogue were used to compile, understand, and discuss the potential for effective management of mangroves for carbon storage. One hundred and twenty-one articles published in WOS and Scopus databases between 2019 and 2022, as well as books and material reviewed on the official websites, were checked. Present policy in Cuba manages mangroves for coastal protection and other ecosystem services but lacks a developed plan for considering the role of this marine forest system as a carbon sink. Managing mangroves as a carbon reservoir will require vigorous efforts to measure and monitor the system. It is necessary to build a robust national political agenda and strengthen institutional and regulatory capacities. This research provides a systematization of environmental policy as a baseline for the management of carbon reservoirs in mangroves in Cuba.

Published: December 2022

In Tibet, water resource has been less studied due to remote and harsh conditions. In this study, hydrochemistry and stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O and 87Sr/86Sr) were employed to investigate the major factors affecting the hydrochemical process of groundwater and surface water in the lower reaches of the Yarlung-Zangbo River, southern Tibet. Groundwater and surface water were weakly alkaline and very soft to moderately hard water. The hydrochemical type of surface water is mainly Ca-HCO3 (mainstream) and Ca-SO4-HCO3 (tributary), while the hydrochemical type of groundwater was mainly Ca-SO4-HCO3. Multivariate statistical analysis and Gibbs analysis proposed hydrochemical components were dominated by water-rock interaction. Ion ratio, saturation index, and Sr isotope revealed calcite dissolution and silicate weathering with local sulfide oxidation were involved in water–rock interaction. D-O isotopes indicated the recharge source was mainly derived from atmosphere precipitation. The entropy-weighted water quality index indicated surface water and groundwater reach the standard of drinking purpose in the lower reaches of the Yarlung-Zangbo River. The hydrochemical type varied regularly along the Yarlung-Zangbo River. The dissolution of carbonate rocks and local silicate weather and evaporate dissolution are the primary hydrochemical process along the Yarlung-Zangbo River. This study would provide a preliminary insight for hydrochemical process in the Yarlung-Zangbo River.

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Stable Isotopes in Precipitation in the Mountainous Region, North Hesse
Authors: Mahindawansha Amani , Jost Marius , Gassmann Matthias
Published: December 2022

Patterns of stable isotopes of water (18O and 2H) in precipitation have been used as tracers for analyzing environmental processes which can be changed by factors such as the topography or meteorological variables. In this study, we investigated the isotopic data in precipitation for one year in the low mountain range of North Hesse, Germany, and analyzed mainly for altitude, rainfall amount, and air temperature effects on a regional scale. The results indicate that the isotopic composition expressed an altitude effect with a gradient of −0.14‰/100 m for δ18O, −0.28‰/100 m for δ2H and 0.83‰/100 m for Deuterium excess. Patterns of enrichment during warmer months and depletion during colder months were detected. Seasonal correlations were not consistent because the altitude effect was superimposed by other processes such as amount and temperature effects, vapor origins, orographic rainout processes, moisture recycling, and sub-cloud secondary evaporation. Precipitation was mostly affected by secondary evaporation and mixing processes during the summer while depleted moisture-bearing fronts and condensation were more responsible for isotope depletion during winter. In autumn and spring, the amount effect was more prominent in combination with moisture recycling, and large-scale convective processes. The altitude effect was also detected in surface water. The investigated elevation transect with multiple stations provided unique insights into hydrological and climatic processes of North Hesse on a regional scale. The spatial heterogeneity and mixing of different processes suggest that multiple rainfall stations are required when rainfall isotopes serve as forcing data for hydrological applications such as transit time assessments in complex terrains.
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Reference Evapotranspiration and Its Climatic Drivers in Northeast China

Published: December 2022

Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is an important component of the global water cycle, and its long-term change directly influences the regional water supply and demand balance. Under the background of global change, investigating spatiotemporal trends in ET0 and its response to climate change is of great importance for the conservation and rational utilization of water resources. Based on daily climate data from 91 meteorological stations during 1960–2017 in Northeast China, this study calculated ET0 using the Penman-Monteith method and analyzed its spatiotemporal change trends and primary driving factors. The results show the following: (1) During 1960–2017, the annual ET0 in Northeast China showed a nonsignificant upward trend at a rate of 1.45 mm/10a. A mutation point of ET0 was detected in 1993. From 1960 to 1993, ET0 experienced a significant decrease (p < 0.1), while annual air temperature showed a significant upward trend (p < 0.01), which indicated the appearance of an evaporation paradox. This was because the remarkable drop in wind speed and sunshine duration played a great role in the reduction of ET0. From 1994 to 2017, the evaporation paradox disappeared. (2) ET0 trend in Northeast China was significantly and positively related to altitude. In the lower altitude regions (<500 m), ET0 generally decreased, while in the higher altitude areas (>500 m), ET0 displayed an upward trend. (3) Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, relative humidity was the primary driving factor for ET0 trends in Northeast China during 1960–2017. At diverse altitudes, the primary climatic factors influencing ET0 were different. In high-altitude areas (>500 m), the change in ET0 was mainly influenced by relative humidity, while wind speed was the primary driving factor at low altitudes (<500 m).
A Tariff Model for Reclaimed Water in Industrial Sectors: An Opportunity from the Circular Economy
Authors: Hernández-Chover Vicent , Castellet-Viciano Lledó , Hernández-Sancho Francesc
Published: December 2022

The growth of the world’s population is associated with an increase in demand for water. The consequences of this increase are twofold: On the one hand, it endangers the water balance of the ecosystem, and on the other hand, it considerably increases the volume of wastewater generated. In this sense, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a fundamental role since their objective is to guarantee the quality of the effluents discharged into the environment. Moreover, current treatment systems allow for the subsequent use of the effluent. Thus, the wastewater treatment sector can be seen as an unconventional source of water, acquiring a special importance in the framework of the circular economy. In this context, water reclamation and reuse are identified as key components of water resource management. However, the economic aspects, in terms of tariff design and cost recovery, represent a major barrier to incentivizing its use. In this paper, the authors analyze these aspects and propose a tariff that combines the cost recovery, an incentive to use reclaimed water and other relevant aspects that guarantee the success of water reuse projects. With this objective, three industrial sectors are evaluated. For the first sector, the user industries would achieve a saving of approximately 10% by changing the consumption of conventional water to reclaimed water; in the second sector, they would achieve a saving of 18% and in the third sector a saving of approximately 16%. In addition to guaranteeing sustainability in the consumption of reclaimed water in industry, the viability of the supplying company is ensured. This research offers valuable results that will be useful for establishing future strategies aimed at encouraging the use of reclaimed water in industrial environments.

Authors: Zhang Tianyi , Yang Xiaofeng , Shen Yujie , Liu Xiaofu , He Tao
Published: December 2022

Inerters, a new type of mass element, have been successfully applied in various fields, such as in automotive and civil engineering. The development of a new element, named a mechatronic inerter, which consists of a ball-screw inerter and permanent magnet electric machinery, proves the feasibility of adopting electrical element impedances to simulate corresponding mechanical elements. In this paper, the structures of the bridge electrical network and series-parallel electrical network and their impedance characteristics are first introduced. Then, a seven-degree-of-freedom vehicle model is established. In addition, by comparison with passive suspension, a bridge network and a series-parallel network with various basic topologies are used to improve the vibration isolation performance of mechatronic inertial suspension, and the advantages of the bridge network (a) are demonstrated. Finally, a bridge electrical network (a) was designed and a real vehicle test was carried out. The test results showed that the mechatronic inertial suspension based on the bridge network (a) was superior to the passive suspension; the RMS (root-mean-square) values of the suspension working space and dynamic tire load of the left rear wheel suspension were reduced by 21.1% and 6.3%, respectively; and the RMS value of the centroid acceleration was improved by 1.8%.

Authors: Dragomir Voicu D.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences between developed countries in terms of corporate governance outcomes at aggregate and granular levels. The population of companies was collected from the database curated by Refinitiv. The sample was selected according to two criteria: the existence of governance scores for the financial year 2021 and the registration of a company in any of the G20 countries or the European Union. The results are presented by ranking the G20 countries based on four aggregate indicators and four granular indicators of corporate governance quality. While the differences regarding the aggregate indicators are not statistically strong, the intercountry differences on board independence, board gender diversity, board skills, and auditor tenure are especially relevant. The present article opens an avenue of research on international corporate governance linked to cultural dimensions, comparative legal systems, national approach to corporate social responsibility, and corporate governance principles.

Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) are quite often observed in the group of patients with schizophrenia, contributing to a deterioration in their standard of living. In addition, CVRF can cause death of such patients. However, the influence of these factors on many spheres of schizophrenia patients, in particular cognitive functions, remain understudied. The objective of the research was to study the effect of CVRF (hypertension (HT), cardiac disorders (ischemic heart disease), intracardiac conduction disturbance), diabetes mellitus (DM), and myocardial infarction (MI) on cognitive functions of schizophrenia patients. The study involved 102 patients diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia who were hospitalized in psychiatric departments № 1 and № 5 of the State Institution «Lugansk Republican Clinical Psychoneurological Hospital», Lugansk People»s Republic. All study participants were divided into two study groups: 1st — the control group (n = 52), 2nd — the group of patients with CVFR (n = 50). The mean age of the patients was 47.7±5.6 years; there were 40 males (39.2 %) and 62 females (60.8 %). Clinical, psychopathological, catamnestic, psychometric, and statistical research methods were used. As a result of the study, it was found that the patients with CVFR had poorer cognitive test scores for almost all of the presented parameters. Regression analysis in relation to the effect of CVFR on the general state of cognitive functions showed that all these factors considerably affected the cognitive status, with HT being the most statistically significant. CVFR can have a negative impact on the state of cognitive functions in schizophrenia patients.

In the spring of 2020, in most of the water area of the northern Caspian, the prevalence of saprotrophic floras did not exceed 50000 cells/ml, which microbiota level in summer. The number of oligotrophs in most of the water area was inferior to saprotrophs, which indicated an mbalance in the heterotrophic microbial community. In summer, in the northern part of the Caspian Sea, a decrease in the average heterotrophic group of bacterioplankton and bacteriobenthos was recorded, which indicated the process of self-purification of the marine environment from allochthonous elements. Viewing in the summer period in the waters of the Northern Caspian Sea, the zone of the zone with water saprobicity corresponding to the “polluted” category, the process of self-cleaning of the reservoir after the spring flood was not completed. In the autumn of 2020, the distribution of heterotrophic bacterioplankton and bacteriobenthos reached its lowest levels for all periods of research. In water, the number of saprotrophs was inferior to oligotrophs, which indicated the presence of a heterotrophic microbiota in the water, but they remained in the zone of increased saprobicity. An analysis of the taxonomic structure microbiota showed that heterotrophic communities of bacterioplankton and bacteriobenthos form representatives of the 6th family of gram-negative bacteria (Alsaligenaceae,Enterobacteriaceae, Flavobacteriaceae, Moraxellaceae, Pseudomonadaceae and Vibrionaceae), as well as gram-positive microorganisms. Gram-positive bacteria are most often found in enrichment cultures, mainly of the listed families. Some of the isolated bacteria belong to the group of opportunistic pathogens, which led to the identification of a potential danger to aquatic organisms. However, most of the identified representatives are true saprophytes, covering the inhabitants of water and bottom sediments. The predominance of indigenous microbiocenosis tends to reduce the bacterial pressure of the ecosystem in the water area and improve the state of the habitat of aquatic biological resources in terms of biological micro-characteristics.

A comparative analysis of the fish-breeding and production characteristics of first- and second-generation carp hybrids obtained from crossing local mongrel females with males of the intra-breed type of the Moscow scaly pair carp was carried out. As a result of parallel cultivation of five variants of crossing carp to their puberty with further verification of breeding value for offspring, a promising hybrid (♀Me × M♂) was selected, with which breeding work was carried out for two generations. A comparison of the fish-breeding biological and production characteristics of twogeneration carp hybrids revealed the best indicators for all the parameters studied in the first generation, which, apparently, is associated with the phenomenon of heterosis. Producers of carp hybrids for three years of work with them (4–6-yearolds) had a more pronounced fertility in the production of oocytes in first-generation females, both in terms of working and relative fertility. As for males, there were no significant differences in the one-time volume of ejaculate, concentration and degree of sperm motility in hybrid individuals of two generations of carp in studies. The exterior indicators of carp hybrids according to the high-spin index in the first generation exceeded the same indicator in the second generation. The additional calculation carried out for the variation of the analyzed indicators revealed slightly lower values of the coefficient of variation in the second generation among different age groups of carp. This situation of the emerging tendency to decrease the spread of the analyzed indicators in relation to their average values can be explained by the effect of stabilizing selection in the second generation of the hybrid carp. According to the results of the study of the fish-breeding, biological and productive characteristics of two generations of carp hybrids, a return crossing with an improver breed (Moscow scaly) was performed.

O presente artigo busca identificar e apresentar as manifestações patológicas existentes na ponte Dom Affonso Felippe Gregory situado na divisa do estado do Maranhão e Tocantins sendo um importante corredor econômico para as cidades da região. Para identificação de patologias em pontes ou qualquer outro tipo de estrutura, é necessário a realização de inspeções periódicas, devendo esta análise ser realizada de forma integral, sendo inspecionada a superestrutura, a mesoestrutura e a infraestrutura. Esta identificação patológica na ponte Dom Affonso Felippe Gregory recorreu-se a estudos de bibliografias relacionadas ao tema, além de coleta de dados realizada por meio de visitas, utilizando os métodos visuais e registros fotográficos. Os resultados mostram as patologias existentes sendo elas a exsudação na estrada, buracos na estrada, desagregação do concreto, desgaste do concreto por abrasão, fissuras na estrutura, falhas nas juntas de dilatação, corrosão das armaduras de aço. Pode-se concluir que a maioria dos problemas encontrados decorrem da falta de manutenção e da má execução da ponte.

O Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (PISA), feita de forma amostral com alunos de 15 anos e coordenado pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), disponibiliza, a cada ciclo avaliativo, uma variedade de informações sobre a educação básica de cada país participante. A apropriação desses resultados serve de subsídios para traçar diagnósticos e planejar as ações pedagógicas nas escolas. Este artigo apresenta e discute os avanços alcançados pelos estudantes brasileiros no PISA 2012, em termos de resultados em Matemática, quando comparados com a edição do PISA 2003. A partir das informações disponibilizadas dos diversos países participantes dessa avaliação, a discussão se faz também, em uma perspectiva comparada, entre Brasil e México. Tal escolha deve-se às características semelhantes entre esses dois países em termos de extensão territorial, questões sociais e sistemas educacionais. Além dos resultados cognitivos dos estudantes, as análises consideram algumas respostas aos questionários contextuais, respondidos pelos estudantes. Especialmente aquelas que sinalizam para a percepção de ênfases curriculares diferenciadas, estímulos ao desenvolvimento de processos próprios à Matemática e como estes são potencializados nas atividades em sala de aula.

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os aplicativos mais utilizados por estudantes para aprender Matemática. Para atingir o objetivo pretendido, aplicamos um questionário junto a 97 estudantes, sendo 28 da Licenciatura em Matemática e 69 do ensino médio técnico do município de Palmeira dos Índios, Alagoas, Brasil. A escolha desses alunos para responder ao questionário está relacionada às ações desenvolvidas pelo Projeto de Matemática vinculado ao Programa Institucional de Iniciação à Docência da Universidade Estadual de Alagoas de 2020 a 2022. O questionário era composto por duas partes: a primeira parte serviu para elaborar uma breve descrição dos estudantes partícipes da pesquisa, seus cursos e períodos de estudo; a segunda parte apresenta 15 aplicativos – canva, documentos do google, escape room, geogebra, google classroom, google tarefas, jamboard, kahoot, khan academy, microsoft office, nearpod, padlet, quizlet, socrative, wordwall – para que eles escolhessem aqueles que conheciam ou utilizavam para estudar Matemática, sendo ofertada a opção de acrescentar outros não elencados no questionário.  Os resultados do questionário destacam que a plataforma “Google sala de aula” é a plataforma mais utilizada e conhecida pelos participantes. Em termos percentuais, constatamos que 92,2% dos estudantes já estão familiarizados com o google classroom e 63,9 % usam documentos do Google. Os demais aplicativos são conhecidos por menos da metade dos participantes da pesquisa, inclusive os aplicativos específicos para aprender matemática. O khan academy, por exemplo, foi citado por 35,8% dos estudantes e o geogebra, por 26,8%. É interessante observar que dentre os resultados, encontramos uma maior utilização em plataformas de gestão de atividades e de edição de texto pelos estudantes. É notório também uma baixa utilização dos aplicativos feitos para trabalhar especificamente matemática. A nosso ver, esses resultados indicam a relevância da continuidade desta investigação sobre a temática nesse e em outros contextos.

INTRODUÇÃO: Apesar dos achados importantes relacionados ao tropismo do vírus pelo pâncreas e da gravidade dessas repercussões dentre os pacientes, ainda não está claro na literatura quais as principais alterações e diagnósticos comumente encontrados em pacientes que apresentam COVID-19 com sintomatologia pancreática. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, realizada de acordo com as diretrizes do PRISMA. A revisão foi conduzida nas bases de dados Pubmed, BVS e Elsevier. Foram incluídos estudos realizados com adultos de ambos os sexos e excluídas revisões, editoriais de pesquisa, cartas ao leitor ou comentários editoriais. O processo de busca e seleção foi conduzido por pares. RESULTADOS: De 131 estudos identificados apenas 07 foram incluídos. Houve predomínio de estudos descritivos com variabilidade de amostras não probabilísticas. Os principais sintomas gastrointestinais referenciados foram dor abdominal (localizada em fossa ilíaca direita e/ou difusa), náuseas, vômitos (de natureza não biliosa) e/ou diarreia.  Das repercussões pancreáticas percebeu-se a presença de pancreatite aguda que estava em cerca de 24% dos estudos incluídos na revisão, e foi visto que esses pacientes tinham a necessidade de oxigênio, por meio da ventilação mecânica ou cateter nasal. CONCLUSÃO pacientes infectados pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, apresentaram alterações a nível pancreático, tinham elevada lipase sérica e a minoria citava aumento da amilase, além de alguns tenham tido o desfecho de pancreatite. Contudo, as pesquisas ainda continuam sendo inconclusivas e precárias de informações a respeito do tema, o que torna necessário a realização de novos estudos na área.

O treinamento físico é recomendado pelas diretrizes atuais como medida preventiva e como ferramenta adicional à terapia farmacológica no tratamento da hipertensão e suas manifestações patológicas. Sem embargo, tanto quanto as incertezas sobre a melhor prescrição de introdução para o controle da pressão arterial em pacientes com hipertensão resistente. Nesta perspectiva, levei a cabo uma revisão de literatura, destacando a influência do exercício físico no tratamento da hipertensão. Todos os artigos encontrados, apenas aqueles que se correlacionam diretamente com a pressão arterial e o exercício de inclusão neste trabalho. Como resultado, se o encontro da atividade física reduz a pressão arterial. Os fatores como idade, obesidade, raça e genética foram encontrados para influenciar o efeito hipotensor do exercício. Por fim, recomenda-se aos hipertensos a realização de exercícios aeróbicos de baixa e moderada intensidade, complementados com treinamento resistido.

Planejamento estratégico é um instrumento que visa auxiliar empresas a alcançar os resultados almejados a médio e longo prazo. De acordo com esse critério, pode-se afirmar que o Planejamento Estratégico pode ser utilizado em qualquer segmento empresarial, inclusive em Instituições de Ensino Superior. A presente pesquisa possui como objeto de estudo, o planejamento estratégico, com o intuito de identificar a aplicabilidade das ferramentas/métodos do mesmo na gestão de Instituições de Ensino Superior privadas do Rio de Janeiro. Para o objetivo, houve a necessidade de buscar fundamentações teóricas relacionadas aos seguintes aspectos: qual a origem do planejamento estratégico, quais os conceitos de planejamento estratégico, quais seus modelos, ferramentas e métodos. Para isso, foram analisados os arcabouços teóricos diante de diferentes autores para respaldar a aplicabilidade dessas ferramentas na gestão de Instituições de Ensino. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa deste artigo, a metodologia utilizada para levantamento dos dados primários foi a pesquisa de campo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo dez Instituições de Ensino Superior privadas no Rio de Janeiro. De acordo com as informações recebidas, por meio da coleta de dados realizada em dezembro de 2020, foi possível evidenciar a carência da utilização de algumas ferramentas/metodologias e lacunas referentes a uma das etapas contidas no ciclo de planejamento estratégico. Inclusive, durante a coleta de dados, ficou evidenciada a importância do planejamento mediante ao período da pandemia causada pela COVID-19, pois a utilização de ferramentas e metodologias de planejamento estratégico foram fundamentais para mitigar as mudanças ocorridas e o rápido ajuste de percurso dentro das Instituições de Ensino. A análise realizada demonstra que todas as ferramentas/metodologias têm aplicação em qualquer porte de Instituição de Ensino Superior privada, o que vai divergir em cada ferramenta será o seu custo de aplicação e a cultura da empresa.
A presença do arquétipo da mulher selvagem na obra “Ritmos de Inquieta Alegria” da escritora amazonense Violeta Branca

Published: December 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar a presença do arquétipo da mulher selvagem na produção da escritora amazonense Violeta Branca, especificamente em cinco dos poemas que compõem a obra Ritmos de Inquieta Alegria (1935): Minha Lenda; Inquietação; Eu; Iniciação; e Desencanto. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, sendo de cunho bibliográfico. Os principais pressupostos teóricos são de C. G. Jung (1875-1961), Clarissa Pinkolas Estés (1994), Virginia Woolf (1882), Beauvoir (2009). Para discutir sobre a literatura amazonense utilizamos dos textos Tenório Telles (1963), Marcos Frederico Kruger (1949), entre outros estudos na área para identificar a presença do arquétipo da mulher selvagem na obra Ritmos de Inquieta Alegria.
Campaña de prevención y control del VIH, el sida y otras ITS. Entre el conservadurismo y las fallidas estrategias comunicativas
Authors: Rico Luis Alfonso Guadarrama
Published: December 2022

En fecha reciente el Centro Nacional para la Prevención y el Control del VIH y el sida (Censida) puso a circular a través de inter- net, materiales gráficos para que los jefes de programa que operan en cada una de las 32 entidades del país decidieran las mejores estrategias informativas para concienciar a la población en general y en los grupos clave en particular, acerca de la importancia de la prevención y el control del VIH, el sida y otras ITS. En el estado de Aguascalientes, el 24 de marzo de 2016, en una de las avenidas de la ciudad, las autoridades sanitarias colocaron un cartel (espectacular) en el que aparecía una pareja de hombres, dándose un beso y con el torso desnudo, posados sobre una cama, con la leyenda: «Mil formas de amar, una sola de protegerse. ¡Usa condón!». Siete días después, tras varias llamadas telefónicas realizadas a las oficinas sanitarias por parte de grupos conservadores de la sociedad aguscalentense, el anuncio fue retirado y sustituido por otro que presentaba a una pareja heterosexual, dejando la misma leyenda. A través del análisis de las notas periodísticas locales y nacionales, así como de las entrevistas dadas a conocer por parte de los distintos actores que tomaron parte en el conflicto, se aprecia la fuerza mediática y social que tienen los grupos conservadores; el repliegue ante dicha presión por parte de la autoridad sanitaria local, así como la marginal participación de las organizaciones procedentes de la diversidad sexual. Se concluye, además, que ante una estrategia de comunicación fallida, se estrecha el camino a compromisos que hemos adquirido, cifrados en la estrategia denominada «Atención cascada»; trabajo de prevención y control en grupos clave, grupos vulnerables y la reducción de la transmisión vertical del VIH y el sida.

In this study, we report on the analysis of 701 stars in a solar vicinity defined in three categories namely subsolar, solar, and supersolar with rotation periods between 1 and 70 days, based on rotational modulation signatures inferred from time series from the Kepler mission’s Public Archives. In our analysis, we performed an initial selection based on the rotation period and position in the period–H diagram, where H denotes the Hurst exponent extracted from fractal analysis. To refine our analysis, we applied a fractal approach known as the R/S method, taking into account the fluctuations of the features associated with photometric modulation at different time intervals and the fractality traces that are present in the time series of our sample. In this sense, we computed the so-called Hurst exponent for the referred stars and found that it can provide a strong discriminant of rotational modulation and background noise behavior, going beyond what can be achieved with solely the rotation period itself. Furthermore, our results emphasize that the rotation period of stars is scaled by the exponent H which increases following the increase in the rotation period. Finally, our approach suggests that the referred exponent may be a powerful rotational modulation and noise classifier.
