PANORAMA DA INCLUSÃO DAS PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Bragança Laís , FERREIRA CAROLINA RODRIGUES
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho buscou apresentar um panorama sobre a evolução dos vínculos formais de trabalho e rendimentos das pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho brasileiro, no período de 2007 a 2019. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo descritivo utilizando dados disponibilizados na Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), bem como do último CENSO. Os resultados indicam que, apesar de ainda ser baixa a inclusão das PCDs no mercado de trabalho, o número de empregos formais aumentou entre os anos de 2007 a 2019, assim como os rendimentos. Essas mudanças podem ser explicadas, em parte, pela implementação de políticas inclusivas e maior aplicabilidade da Lei de Cotas. Destaca-se a importância de incentivar os estudos sobre este tema, contribuindo, assim, para aumentar sua visibilidade e estimular governo, empresas e sociedade a contribuir para inclusão, autonomia financeira e desenvolvimento dos cidadãos com deficiência, garantindo oportunidades, atração, inserção e retenção destes profissionais nas entidades empregadoras.

Published: May 2023

O estudo tem como objetivo investigar as diferenças regulatórias entre as fintechs de pagamento e as instituições financeiras já estabelecidas no mercado brasileiro. Por meio de pesquisa documental, foram analisados os impactos das fintechs de pagamento nos modelos atuais e os fatores que regulamentam as instituições financeiras e as instituições de pagamento, no que se refere a plano de contas, documentos enviados ao Banco Central e aspectos tributários. Foram analisadas as demonstrações financeiras do Banco Itaúcard S.A. e da Cielo S.A., instituições que representam, em termos de faturamento, a maior instituição financeira e a maior instituição de pagamento, respectivamente, listadas na B3. Os resultados encontrados revelam uma regulação mais branda para as instituições de pagamento, bem como tributação mais favorável e menor número de reports ao Banco Central. Dado o avanço das instituições de pagamento e a representatividade que têm alcançado no mercado, espera-se que cada vez mais os aspectos regulatórios dedicados a elas se aproximem aos aplicados para os bancos tradicionais.

Published: May 2023

Agricultural sector faces a major loss that is caused by animal assaults and is one of the greatest threats in diminishing crop production. Pests, natural disasters, and animal damage pose severe risks to Indian farmers, lowering productivity. Crop raiding is one of the most acrimonious human-animal conflicts as a result of the extension of farmed land into former animal habitat. Traditional methods followed by farmers are not that effective and it is not feasible to hire huge manpower to keep an eye on crops and prevent animals from destroying them. Since safety of both human and animals is equally vital, it is important to protect the crop from damage caused by animal as well as divert the animal without any harm. The goal is to develop a model that can accurately detect animals in agricultural lands. The system will use deep learning to detect animals entering into the farm by using convolutional neural network concept. This system will monitor the entire farm at regular intervals through a camera which will be recording the surrounding throughout the day. With the help of a deep learning model, the system detect the entry of animals and also use sound based scare tactics to deter animals from the agricultural land

Published: May 2023

The heart is crucial for living organisms, and detecting heart-related diseases necessitates accurate and precise monitoring. Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of mortality across the world. Machine learning can assist in predicting heart disease survivors by converting large amounts of healthcare data into valuable insights for decision-making. This is a critical challenge in clinical data analytics. Various studies have identified important attributes that have a significant impact on predicting heart disease survivors. Machine learning can assist in uncovering these crucial attributes and assist healthcare professionals in anticipating a patient's survival and then adapting their care plan appropriately. As such, machine learning has great potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with heart disease. Machine learning systems have shown potential in predicting and detecting cardiovascular disease (CVD) at an early stage, which can help mitigate mortality rates. Several research studies have utilized various machine learning techniques to identify CVD and determine the severity level of patients, yielding promising results. These approaches have the potential to assist healthcare professionals in improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of CVD on society. This study proposes a method to address imbalance distribution in predicting patient status using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). Six machine learning (ML) classifiers were used and Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) was employed to find the best hyperparameters. The results show that the proposed method improved the performance of the ML classifiers in detecting patient status. The findings suggest that the proposed approach could provide a valuable tool for improving diagnostic accuracy in medical applications. The model proposed in the study can assist doctors in identifying a patient's heart disease status, leading to early intervention and prevent mortality related to heart disease. By using this model, doctors can provide timely treatment and reduce the risk of heart disease-related complications. Implementing the model can help improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with heart disease management.

Published: May 2023

The negative impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on individuals, families, health system and the economic development as a whole, is an important justification for research in this field. The present study is a hospital-based case-control type to ascertain the genetic susceptibility of T2DM among a sample population of various ethnic groups resident in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Also evaluated was the relationship between transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCFL2) rs12255372 and rs290487 genetic polymorphisms with development of T2DM. Genotyping of TCFL2 rs12255372 and rs290487 were carried out using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Among the indigenous groups, the allelic frequencies determined for the abnormal (CC) and the normal (TT) genotypes were 94.4 and 5.6 (%), respectively; whereas, the values 91.7 and 8.3 (%), in that other, were determined for the non-indigenous groups. A convincing significant difference was found between subjects with T2DMne and their counterpart controls within indigenous people of Bayelsa State with respect to confounders, including age (t=8.046, p<0.00001), BMI (t =2.628, p<0.0190), waist circumference (t=2.800, p=0.0091) and fasting blood sugar (t=3.212, p< 0.0006). This study verified the association of TCFL2 rs290487 with the development of T2DM in indigenous and non-indigenous people in Bayelsa State. The risk conferred by the homozygous CC genotype was higher than that of the heterozygous TC state – a fact indicative of an additive model of inheritance.
Production of Cellulase by Trichoderma viride via Submerged Fermentation using Corncob as Substrate
Authors: Kamaluddeen, S.Y.  , Madika, A
Published: May 2023

Cellulolytic enzymes are commonly used in lignocellulosic biomass conversion, textile, and paper and pulp industries. However, the high cost of cellulase and the high demand has led to increase researches to explore agro-residues for cost-effective production. This study was aimed at isolating Trichoderma viride from decaying wood and soil, and testing the isolates for cellulase production via submerged fermentation using corncob as substrate. Twenty-one (21) soil samples were collected from three different locations (botanical garden, refuse dump site and decaying wood) and used in the study. Colonies suspected to be Trichoderma viride were identified by microscopy of lactophenol cotton blue-stained preparation and slide culture technique, respectively. Isolates confirmed to be Trichoderma viride were then screened for cellulase production on a mineral salt medium containing carboxymethyl cellulose as an inducer. The isolates were further tested for cellulase production using corncob as the substrate via submerged fermentation. Out of the 21 samples analysed, 4 (19%) were positive for Trichoderma viride based on cultural and microscopic characteristics. The highest occurrence of Trichoderma viride (57%) was recorded from decaying wood samples, while no occurrence (0%) was observed from the botanical garden and refuse dumpsite soils. All four isolates obtained produced cellulase, with T. viride DW6 having the highest zone of cellulose hydrolysis (61.5 ± 2.12 mm) and T. viride DW1 having the least (58.5 ± 2.12 mm). The highest enzyme activity was recorded from T. viride DW4 (3.41 ± 0.46 U/ml) and the lowest from T. viride DW1 (1.77 ± 0.52 U/ml) using corncob as substrate. Trichoderma viride is abundantly present in decaying wood, and such isolates have high cellulase-producing ability, as wood material is rich in cellulose. This preliminary study provides information on the isolation of T. viride from decaying wood and their potential for cellulase production using corncob as substrate.

A literatura infantil contribui para a formação psíquica da criança, por isso proporcionar o encontro dos pequenos e das pequenas com o objeto livro literário torna-se direito fundamental da infância. Na atualidade temos à disposição uma diversidade de obras produzidas por diferentes autores e autoras. Muitas dessas são exemplos de textos intertextuais produzidos a partir de narrativas clássicas. É interessante observar as transformações sociais ocorridas nessas histórias que são contadas ao longo do tempo, nos mais distintos lugares e por diferentes escritores e escritoras. É isso que ocorre no livro ilustrado Uma Chapeuzinho Vermelho escrito e ilustrado pela francesa Marlonaine Leray. Conhecer essa narrativa nos levou a produzir o presente artigo, cujo objetivo é analisar a representação feminina na obra Uma Chapeuzinho Vermelho. Analisamos tanto os elementos verbais quanto não verbais da obra e os resultados apontam uma transformação no modo de representar a figura feminina. Se antes, nas versões clássicas, tínhamos uma menina frágil e necessitada da proteção masculina, agora invertem-se os papéis e Leray nos apresenta uma personagem decidida, forte, corajosa e astuta, capaz de superar por si só os seus problemas.

O principal objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre a educação das relações étnico-raciais, tendo em vista a prática pedagógica antirracista na EI. Alguns dados evidenciam a urgência dessa reflexão, uma vez que as crianças, nesta etapa da educação básica, projetam-se para o mundo, criando novas formas de ler, compreender, ser e agir no contexto em que estão inseridas.
“Eles não sacrificam animais que nem aqui”: a ética das crianças e o enfrentamento ao racismo religioso
Authors: Evaristo Russi Ana Paula , Bené Lahorgue Josiele
Published: May 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre uma ética das experiências, identificando alguns elementos que operam na relação entre crianças que frequentam um terreiro de Batuque jeje-ijexá educação das entrelinhas, e também com as demais crianças da comunidade do entorno do referido terreiro. Para tanto, partimos das reflexões sobre racismo estrutural a partir de Almeida (2019), Passos (2015) e Munanga (2003), e sobre intolerância religiosa e racismo religioso de Nogueira (2020). Como metodologia, utilizamos a análise do discurso de Bakhtin (2010), apresentando três cenas e tecendo diálogos com as categorias ética e experiência de Benjamin (1994; 2002; 2013) e com a perspectiva da ética Ubuntu de Noguera (2012). Compreende-se que existem intersecções sociais e da ordem étnico-racial que engendram as relações analisadas neste artigo, e que nos dão pistas para compreender uma ética das experiências vivenciadas como condição de possibilidade para pensarmos a educação das entrelinhas por crianças.

Melhorar a espécie humana desde a infância: eugenia e higiene mental no Brasil e em Portugal (primeira metade do século XX)
Authors: Weber Maria Julieta , Matos Patrícia Ferraz de
Published: May 2023

Este artigo contribui para o estudo da eugenia e da higiene mental tendo como foco o contexto infantil na família, escola e instituições, no Brasil e em Portugal, na primeira metade do século XX. Partindo da análise sobretudo de fontes documentais, publicadas e não publicadas, as autoras buscaram propostas para o melhoramento da espécie humana desde a infância. No Brasil, foram encontradas várias intervenções de ordem intelectual e política, como aconteceu no Laboratório de Pedagogia Experimental da Escola Normal Secundária de São Paulo (1914) e na Clinica de Euphrenia (1932) no Distrito Federal, Rio de Janeiro. Em Portugal, constatou-se que as formulações do pensamento higiénico e eugénico foram influentes na atuação de várias instituições de acolhimento, como aconteceu na Tutoria de Infância do Porto. As propostas presentes nas fontes analisadas, sobretudo produzidas por figuras ligadas ao poder – médicos, educadores, legisladores e políticos – permitiram identificar preocupações comuns com a saúde física e mental das crianças e, portanto, com a suposta regeneração nacional em ambos os países, mas denunciaram preconceitos sociais, que contribuíram para a disseminação de discriminações.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Emergency informatics such as data management and geographic information systems applications have become an important training agenda for enhancing health surveillance and risk communication in public health emergencies. The free EpiInfo/Epimap software developed by the CDC offering domain knowledge such as health information management may be particularly useful for preparing nonurban jurisdictions often confronting limited resources in dealing with health emergency events. This article describes the delivery of training workshops to enhance the competencies of health workers in biodefense informatics and discusses its implication for delivering education to rural regions.Methods: Three EpiInfo/EpiMap workshops entitled “Biodefense Informatics and Health Surveillance Database Management” were delivered to public health practitioners of rural Texas. Each workshop covered three modules: tabletop exercises, EpiInfo, and EpiMap hands-on training. A web-based training modality was developed to supplement classroom sessions. Training manuals and a CD-ROM were distributed to trainees. Pretests and posttests were administered to evaluate the workshop effectiveness, and descriptive statistics of the results was summarized.Results: Forty regional or local health department staff attended the workshops. The pretesting and posttesting indicated that participants enhanced competencies and skills in biodefense informatics and data management. Self-reported evaluation indicated that knowledge increased upon completion of the training. The majority (97 percent) of the participants found the workshops relevant and useful, and many noted that the courses enhance their preparedness efforts.Discussion: These results support the need of continuing biodefense informatics training for nonurban public health practitioners and provide directions for developing training programs in health preparedness informatics.
Assessing the replication landscape in experimental linguistics
Authors: Kobrock Kristina , Roettger Timo B.
Published: May 2023

Replications are an integral part of cumulative experimental science. Yet many scientific disciplines do not replicate much because novel confirmatory findings are valued over direct replications. To provide a systematic assessment of the replication landscape in experimental linguistics, the present study estimated replication rates for over 50,000 articles across 98 journals. We used automatic string matching using the Web of Science combined with in-depth manual inspections of 274 papers. The median rate of mentioning the search string “replicat*” was as low as 1.7%. Subsequent manual analyses of articles containing the search string revealed that only 4% of these contained a direct replication, i.e., a study that aims to arrive at the same scientific conclusions as an initial study by using exactly the same methodology. Less than half of these direct replications were performed by independent researchers. Thus our data suggest that only 1 in 1250 experimental linguistic articles contains an independent direct replication. We conclude that, similar to neighboring disciplines, experimental linguistics replicates very little, a state of affairs that should be reflected upon.

The aims were to do an ectoparasite and pathogenic bacteria inventory of Bonylip barb reared in Banyumas district. Total of 118 fish were randomly taken from Singasari (30 individual), Pabuaran (30 individual), Beji (30 individual) and Jipang (28 individual) villages. This work observed ectoparasite species, prevalence, and intensity as well as pathogenic bacteria species. Ectoparasites were identified based on morphological characteristics observed microscopically and their prevalence and intensity were calculated. Bacterial pathogen was isolated from fish samples showing symptoms of bacterial disease and identified molecularly based on 16s rDNA sequence using BLAST dan phylogenetic analysis. Results showed Trichodina sp. and Monogeneans were found infected fish samples from all location with prevalence was 70-100%. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was found from all location except Singasari village.  Some of fish samples showed fin necrosis and five bacterial isolates were obtained. 16s rDNA marked gene was successfully amplified and sequenced. Based on sequence analysis, five isolates could be clustered into two groups, the first was found only in Singasari village and the second was found in Singasari and Beji villages.  Similarity value of 16s rDNA gene sequence these two groups was 99,8%. Result of BLAST and phylogenetic analysis showed that the bacterial pathogens were identified as group of Aeromonas hydrophila complex.
Effectiveness of papaya seed (Carica papaya L) solution against fungal prevalence and hatching power of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio L) eggs
Authors: Sarifudin Sarifudin , Nasmia Nasmia
Published: May 2023

One of the causes of the low production of koi carp seeds is fungal attack during the egg-hatching period, so natural treatments need to be carried out, including the use of papaya seeds. Papaya seeds contain antifungal compounds in the form of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids. The purpose of this study was to determine the effective dose of papaya seed solution in reducing the prevalence of the fungus and increasing the hatchability of koi goldfish eggs. This study was designed using a completely randomized design, which consisted of 5 treatments with 4 replications each. The treatment tested was papaya seed solution with treatment doses A=control, B=125 mg L-1, C=150 mg L-1, D=175 mgL-1, and E=200 mg L-1. Variables measured included the prevalence of the fungus, egg hatchability, observation of the fungus, hatching time, and water quality. The results showed that treatment with 125 mg L-1 of papaya seed solution reduced the prevalence of the fungus by 32.5% and resulted in the highest egg hatchability of 67.5%. The high hatchability of eggs is due to the presence of antifungal compounds in the form of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and karpain contained in papaya seeds which provide protection for eggs against fungal infections so that eggs can hatch properly. The best dose of papaya seed solution to prevent fungal infection in koi carp eggs obtained at 200 mg L-1, 11.25%.

Authors: Kartina Kartina , Afiansyah Wahyu , Awaludin Awaludin
Published: May 2023

Catfish is a consumption fish that is in great demand so that production continues to be increased. Pineapple hump are known to be rich in bromelain enzymes. The bromelain enzyme has properties similar to proteolytic enzymes, which have the ability to hydrolyze proteins. This study aims to determine the optimal dose of pineapple hump extract in feed on the growth performance of the Sangkuriang catfish. The test fish used were catfish seeds measuring 3-5 cm and weighing ± 3 g. This study used an experimental method in a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, with P0 (control) 0% pineapple hump extract; P1 dose 0.75%; P2 1.5% and P3 3% extract/kg feed. Probiotics were added to the rearing medium to maintain water quality as much as 1.5 ml/liter. The results showed that the addition of pineapple hump extract in the P2 treatment with a dose of 1.5% showed the highest value at absolute length of 4.4 cm, at absolute weight of 2.3 g, Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of 4.5% and the survival rate is 86% and the lowest value for each observation is in the P0 (control) treatment. However, the statistical test did not show a significant difference in results. Based on the results of the study, pineapple hump extract can be used in feed to increase the growth of the Sangkuriang catfish at a dose of 1.5%/kg of feed.

Authors: Mosleh Anhar Abdulmalek Omar , Maulan Suharni Bt. , Haque A. K. M. Ahasanul
Published: May 2023

Pricing remains a crucial phenomenon for companies operating in a competitive environment. When it comes to selecting a service, price often tends to be a significant consideration for most customers. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between price fairness and negative consumption emo-tion of passengers towards airline services. The respondents of this study are passengers who have travelled within one year from /to or within Malaysia using full-service airlines or low-cost carriers. The data was collected using online survey. Data analysis was done using SPSS and PLS-SEM software where 197 responses were suitable for analysis. The findings show that price fairness has negative re-lationship with negative consumption emotion. This indicates that price fairness plays an important role in reducing negative emotion of the passengers regardless of the situation. The findings of this study can assist airline managers towards understanding the negative impact of negative emotions, and thus provide managers with insights on balancing between fair price and good service.

O grupo denominado nicolaítas, participava de uma seita que procurava difundir ensinos contrários ao Evangelho e aos ensinamentos já estabelecidos no início da era cristã. O objetivo era corromper as doutrinas das igrejas e perverter os costumes já existentes. Os nicolaítas são mencionados apenas duas vezes no Novo Testamento no livro do Apocalipse. Essas passagens foram escritas em duas cartas, as quais foram enviadas a igreja de Éfeso e Pérgamo, e enfatizam a discordância e desprezo de Jesus com esses ensinamentos, bem como com suas obras. Este artigo destina-se a entender a interpretação de autores modernos e do passado, procurando identificar quem eram os nicolaítas, quem foi seu fundador, qual sua doutrina e práticas. Atualmente não existem documentos extrabíblicos que façam compreender de forma única e suficiente o fenômeno nicolaíta. Diante disto, foi feito um trabalho bibliográfico e investigativo de várias fontes para chegar a uma conclusão confiável. O intuito desta abordagem também é provocar uma reflexão sobre como os cristãos primitivos se submeteram aos padrões e conceitos dos nicolaítas e como os seguidores de Jesus no presente ainda são afetados com esses valores.

Abstract. The global ocean’s oxygen content has declined significantly over the past several decades and is expected to continue decreasing under global warming with far reaching impacts on marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. Determining the oxygen trend, its spatial pattern and uncertainties from observations is fundamental to our understanding of the changing ocean environment. This study uses a suite of CMIP6 Earth System Models to evaluate the biases and uncertainties in oxygen distribution and trends due to sampling sparseness. Model outputs are sub-sampled according to the spatial and temporal distribution of the historical shipboard measurements, and an optimal interpolation method is applied to fill data gaps. Sub-sampled results are compared to full model output, revealing the biases in global and basin-wise oxygen content trends. The optimal interpolation underestimates the modeled global deoxygenation trends, capturing approximately two-thirds of the full model trends. North Atlantic and Subpolar North Pacific are relatively well sampled, and the optimal interpolation is capable of reconstructing more than 80 % of the oxygen trend. In contrast, pronounced biases are found in the equatorial oceans and the Southern Ocean, where the sampling density is relatively low. Optimal interpolation of the historical dataset estimated the global oxygen loss of 1.5 % over the past 50 years. However, the ratio of global oxygen trend between the subsampled and full model output, increases the estimated loss rate to 1.7 to 3.1 % over the past 50 years, which partially overlaps with previous studies. The approach taken in this study can provide a framework for the intercomparison of different statistical gap-fill methods to estimate oxygen content trends and its uncertainties due to sampling sparseness.

Abstract. The San Joaquin Valley is an agricultural region in California that suffers from poor air quality. Since traffic emissions are decreasing, other sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gaining importance in the formation of secondary air pollutants. Using airborne eddy covariance, we conducted direct, spatially resolved flux observations of a wide range of VOCs in the San Joaquin Valley during June 2021 at 23–36 °C. Through landcover-informed footprint disaggregation, we were able to attribute emissions to sources and identify tracers for distinct source types. VOC mass fluxes were dominated by alcohols, mainly from dairy farms, while oak isoprene and citrus monoterpenes were important sources of reactivity. Comparisons with two commonly used inventories showed that isoprene emissions in the croplands were overestimated, while dairy and highway VOC emissions were generally underestimated in the inventories, and important citrus and biofuel VOC point sources were missing from the inventories. This study thus presents unprecedented insights into the VOC sources in an intensive agricultural region and provides much needed information for the improvement of inventories, air quality predictions and regulations.

Abstract. Since its launch by the European Space Agency in 2018, the Aeolus satellite has been using the first Doppler wind lidar in space to acquire three-dimensional atmospheric wind profiles around the globe. Especially in the tropics, these measurements compensate for the currently limited number of other wind observations, making an assessment of the quality of Aeolus wind products in this region crucial for numerical weather prediction. To evaluate the quality of the Aeolus L2B wind products across the tropical Atlantic Ocean, 20 radiosondes corresponding to Aeolus overpasses were launched from the islands of Sal, Saint Croix and Puerto Rico during August–September 2021 as part of the Joint Aeolus Tropical Atlantic Campaign. During this period, Aeolus sampled winds within a complex environment with a variety of cloud types in the vicinity of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone and aerosol particles from Saharan dust outbreaks. On average, the validation for Aeolus Raleigh-clear revealed a random error of 3.8–4.3 ms−1 between 2–16 km and 4.3–4.8 ms−1 between 16–20 km, with a systematic error of −0.5 ± 0.2 ms−1. For Mie-cloudy, the random error between 2–16 km is 1.1–2.3 ms−1 and the systematic error is -0.9 ± 0.3 ms−1. Below clouds or within dust layers, the quality of Rayleigh-clear measurements can be degraded when the useful signal is reduced. In these conditions, we also noticed an underestimation of the L2B estimated error. Gross outliers which we define with large deviations from the radiosonde but low error estimates account for less than 5 % of the data. These outliers appear at all altitudes and under all environmental conditions; however, their root-cause remains unknown. Finally, we confirm the presence of an orbital-dependent bias of up to 2.5 ms−1 observed with both radiosondes and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model equivalents. The results of this study contribute to a better characterization of the Aeolus wind product in different atmospheric conditions and provide valuable information for further improvement of the wind retrieval algorithm.
Geotechnical controls on erodibility in fluvial impact erosion

Abstract. Bedrock incision by rivers is commonly driven by the impacts of moving bedload particles. The speed of incision is modulated by rock properties, which is quantified within a parameter known as erodibility that scales the erosion rate to the erosive action of the flow. Although basic models for the geotechnical controls on rock erodibility have been suggested, large scatter and trends in the remaining relationships indicate that they are incompletely understood. Here, we conducted dedicated laboratory experiments measuring erodibility using erosion mills. In parallel, we measured compressive strength, tensile strength, Young’s modulus, bulk density and the Poisson ratio for the tested lithologies. We find that under the same flow conditions, erosion rates of samples from the same lithology can vary by a factor of up to sixty. This indicates that rock properties that may vary over short distances within the same rock can exert a strong control on its erosional properties. The geotechnical properties of the tested lithologies are strongly cross-correlated, preventing a purely empirical determination of their controls on erodibility. The currently prevailing model predicts that erosion rates should scale linearly with Young’s modulus and inversely with the square of the tensile strength. We extend this model using first-principle physical arguments, taking into account the geotechnical properties of the impactor. The extended model provides a better description of the data than the existing model. Yet, the fit is far from satisfactory. We suggest that the ratio of mineral grain size to the impactor diameter present a strong control on erodibility that has not been quantified so far. We also discuss how our laboratory results upscale to real landscapes and long timescales. For both a revised stream power incision model and a sediment-flux-dependent incision model, we suggest that long-term erosion rates scale linear with erodibility and that, within this theoretical framework, relative laboratory measurements of erodibility can be applied at the landscape scale.
The Extent of Homelessness in the Middle East and North Africa Region: A Scoping Review

While the right to housing is a fundamental right per article 25 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ‘homelessness’ is still generally a Western concept and not comprehensively recognized or addressed as a social issue in many countries, including many within the Middle East and North Africa. This paper looked at the literature on homelessness in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to document the meaning and scope of homelessness within this region. After identifying and screening the relevant articles, 103 eligible articles were included in the final data synthesis stage. What we have learned from the review is organized in three categories: 1) conceptualizations of homelessness, 2) proposed responses to homelessness, and 3) research gaps. Studies addressing homelessness experienced by women, elderly, and family were underrepresented or did not exist. Homelessness among children dominates the literature in this review with 62% studies investigated the issue of homelessness in childhood. In a way, children are prioritized yet their adult relatives are often left invisible. Responding to the issue of homelessness on a global scale first involves having effective definitions that both properly enumerate and contextualize the issue. Without establishing a comprehensive definition of homelessness, efforts to address housing precarity can be ineffective.
A Cognitive Semantics Analysis of the Directional Motion Verbs wang往 and lai 来in the YiChing
Authors: Cheng Yan , Sinha Chris
Published: May 2023

The Chinese directional motion verbs wang往 and lai来can be glossed in English as ‘go’ and ‘come’, and the distinction between ‘go’ and ‘come’ in English is comparable to that between wang and lai in Chinese. Their usage in the YiChing is described and analyzed in this article. In the YiChing, wang and lai frequently co-occur in the same sentence, as well as occurring singly elsewhere. Based on a corpus analysis of the YiChing, combined with qualitative interpretive analysis, this article proposes that the majority of co-occurring usages of wang and lai are metaphorical. Metaphorical uses can also be found in the single usages of the two verbs. These metaphors are informed by the cultural practices and values that form the context for the YiChing as a cultural artifact as well as a classical text. Further, these directional motion verbs are based on metaphorical extensions that lead to their semantic changes (metaphors are based on the motion). Thus, the article further analyzes the role of metaphor and cultural context in the semantic changes to the directional motion verbs wang and lai.
