Background. Pre-osmotic dehydration of fruits may significantly reduce free water content. It also causes fruit penetration by solution components, increasing the efficiency of products manufactured by the osmotic-convection method. A study was carried out on a laboratory and industrial scale to perform an operational evaluation of a technological line for dried cherry production. Frozen pitted cherries (Łutówka variety) were the research material. Sucrose solution, concentrated apple juice, and sucrose and glucosefructose syrup mixture (1:1) were used for OD; with 70±2 °Brix at 40, 55 °C (an industrial scale), and 50 °C (a laboratory scale) to obtain ≥ 60 °Brix of fruit extract. Industrial convection drying was carried out at 70 °C until the water activity of < 0.6 was reached. Results and conclusion. Increasing the osmoactive solution temperature enhanced the efficiency of a process aimed at fruit saturation by an osmotic substance and shortened the treatment time. Higher dehydration efficiency resulted in shorter convective drying time. No impact of the osmotic solution type on most mass exchange indices in dehydrated fruits was found. Despite the significantly higher process efficiency of the pre-dehydration in apple juice concentrate and drying stages, there was no significant impact of the solution type on the total process efficiency expressed as the ratio of dried mass to raw material mass. In spite of the same variants of osmotic dehydration of cherries in both production scales, the dehydration time under industrial conditions was even 11times longer. The technical condition of the tested line was determined as operable. The osmotic dehydration and drying equipment was working correctly. The complexity of repair processes and time-consuming equipment cleaning were demonstrated.

The International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS) Working Group on Measurement and Computation of Fire Phenomena (i.e., the MaCFP Working Group) has been established as a global collaborative effort between experimentalists and modelers in the fire safety science field to make significant and systematic progress in fire modeling, based on a fundamental understanding of fire phenomena. In 2016, the Condensed Phase Phenomena MaCFP Subgroup was formed to maintain an effort focused on improving the predictive capabilities of numerical simulations of thermal decomposition and pyrolysis. Two MaCFP workshops have since been organized as pre-events to recent IAFSS Symposia: the first in summer 2017, in Lund, Sweden, and the second, in spring 2021, which was hosted virtually by the University of Waterloo, Canada. This paper details the planning and coordination needed to organize the Condensed Phase Subgroup's contribution to these two events, with a special emphasis on the efforts enabling the 2021 Workshop, including the following: identification, procurement, and distribution of a reference material; development of guidelines for reporting experimental measurements; and development and maintenance of an online repository for experimental measurements and related analysis scripts. Preliminary analysis of the experimental and modeling results submitted to the 2021 MaCFP Condensed-Phase Workshop are also briefly discussed.
Estimating Effective Material Thermal Properties for Use in CFAST

Published: March 2023

A material thermal property database was developed for use in Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) simulations performed in support of fire investigations. The database includes thermal properties for interior surface materials; ignition, metal, and plastic target materials; and damage target materials. CFAST assumes that thermal properties of interior surface and target materials remain constant throughout the course of the fire. In reality, these properties vary with temperature. Assuming ambient temperature properties remain constant may result in significant errors in the heat conduction calculations. This paper presents the results of Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) compartment fire simulations to evaluate the effect on room temperature predictions of using constant versus temperature-dependent thermal properties for the gypsum board on walls and ceiling. The simulations show that assuming ambient temperature properties will overestimate the room temperature during the peak burning and decay periods of the fire. Fidelity of the predictions can be improved by increasing the specific heat in the constant property simulations to account for the gypsum dehydration energetics indirectly. The paper describes methodologies developed to estimate effective constant thermal properties for ignition and metal target materials and provides examples to illustrate their application. The methodology for ignition target materials relies on FDS heat conduction simulations of a series of ignition experiments conducted in the Cone Calorimeter. An evolutionary method is used to obtain values for thermal conductivity, specific heat, and ignition temperature that optimize agreement between calculated and measured ignition times. The approach to estimate effective thermal properties of metal target materials is similar. First, FDS and temperature-dependent property values of the metal are used to determine the time for the target surface to reach the melting point for a range of heating conditions. Next, an evolutionary optimization method is used to estimate constant property values that result in best-fitting FDS target temperature rise predictions.

Cocaine-induced changes in the expression of the glutamate-related scaffolding protein Homer2 influence this drug’s psychostimulant and rewarding properties. In response to neuronal activity, Homer2 is phosphorylated on S117/S216 by calcium-calmodulin kinase IIα (CaMKIIα), which induces a rapid dissociation of mGlu5-Homer2 scaffolds. Herein, we examined the requirement for Homer2 phosphorylation in cocaine-induced changes in mGlu5-Homer2 coupling, to include behavioral sensitivity to cocaine. For this, mice with alanine point mutations at (S117/216)-Homer2 (Homer2AA/AA) were generated, and we determined their affective, cognitive and sensorimotor phenotypes, as well as cocaine-induced changes in conditioned reward and motor hyperactivity. TheHomer2AA/AAmutation prevented activity-dependent phosphorylation of S216 Homer2 in cortical neurons, butHomer2AA/AAmice did not differ from wild-type (WT) controls with respect to Morris maze performance, acoustic startle, spontaneous or cocaine-induced locomotion.Homer2AA/AAmice exhibited signs of hypoanxiety similar to the phenotype of transgenic mice with a deficit in signal-regulated mGluR5 phosphorylation (Grm5AA/AA). However, opposite ofGrm5AA/AAmice,Homer2AA/AAmice were less sensitive to the aversive properties of high-dose cocaine under both place-conditioning and taste-conditioning procedures. Acute injection with cocaine caused dissociation of mGluR5 and Homer2 in striatal lysates from WT, but notHomer2AA/AAmice, suggesting a molecular basis for the deficit in cocaine aversion. These findings indicate that CaMKIIα-dependent phosphorylation of Homer2 gates the negative motivational valence of high-dose cocaine via regulation of mGlu5 binding, furthering an important role for dynamic changes in mGlu5-Homer interactions in addiction vulnerability.
Electron and hole spectrum taking into account deformation and polarization in the quantum dot heterostructure InAs/GaAs
Authors: Bandura H.Ya. , Bilynskyi I.V. , Leshko R.Ya.
Published: March 2023

In the paper InAs spherical quantum dots in a GaAs matrix were investigated. The energies of electrons and holes in single- and multi-band models (with strong, weak, and intermediate spin-orbit interaction) were calculated taking into account both the deformation of the quantum-dot matrix and the polarization charges on the quantum dot surface. The dependence of the energy levels of electrons and holes on the radius of the quantum dot is considered. It is shown that the deformation effects are stronger than polarization for the electron. For holes those effects are opposites. The energies of electrons and holes have been compared in all approximation models.

Published: March 2023

Este trabajo analiza la fauna de porte menor del sitio Piedras Blancas (valle de Ambato, Catamarca, Argentina), con el propósito de indagar acerca del rol que tuvo dentro de la economía de los habitantes del lugar, al igual que su participación como agentes tafonómicos en la conformación del sitio. Piedras Blancas es un emplazamiento al aire libre que se ubica en el sector deprimido del valle de Ambato, al cual se le adjudicó la funcionalidad de unidad residencial de elite. Sobre la base de los fechados radiocarbónicos se puede ubicar el período de ocupación del sitio entre el 574 y 1225 (1?) AD, durante momentos Aguada. A partir de la identificación anatómica y taxonómica de los restos faunísticos y su consiguiente cuantificación, se logró constatar la presencia de una diversidad considerable de especies, entre ellas didélfidos, dasipódidos, carnívoros, roedores (Cricétidos, Cávidos, Ctenómidos y Chinchíllidos), aves, anfibios y reptiles. Teniendo en cuenta los resultados obtenidos, se propone que algunas de estas especies fueron incorporadas al sitio por la acción humana (con el propósito de consumirlos y utilizar sus distintos subproductos), mientras que otras ingresaron por diversas causas tafonómicas, tales como la acción de predadores y factores eto-ecológicos (incluyendo la presencia por muerte natural, roedores vinculados a eventos de comensalismo y animales fosoriales que pudieron modificar e incorporarse al registro arqueológico).
Las investigaciones sobre preservación de huesos de aves y mamíferos grandes en Patagonia (Argentina)
Authors: Cruz Isabel
Published: March 2023

Se presentan los resultados de observaciones tafonómicas actuales efectuadas en Patagonia, con el objetivo de estimar el potencial de preservación de vertebrados con diferentes tamaños corporales. Los vertebrados de mayor tamaño son: el guanaco (Lama guanicoe), un miembro de la Familia Camelidae; un pinnípedo, el lobo marino sudamericano (Otaria flavescens), y un ave no voladora perteneciente al grupo de las Ratites, el ñandú patagónico (Rhea pennata). Los vertebrados pequeños considerados son aves voladoras de más de 1 kg y el pingüino de Magallanes (Spheniscus magellanicus). Los huesos actuales de los vertebrados de mayor tamaño son más resistentes a los procesos tafonómicos y poseen mayores tiempos de exposición en la superficie terrestre. Los huesos de aves voladoras y pingüinos se destruyen rápidamente y sólo se preservan en situaciones especiales. Los registros fósiles de estos vertebrados serán completamente diferentes en relación a su integridad (sensu Binford, 1981) y su tendencia a la mezcla espacial y temporal.

Published: March 2023

En esta contribución se presenta el análisis de la fauna menor del sitio San Ramón 7 (SR7), ubicado en el curso inferior del río Salado bonaerense (región pampeana, Argentina), sitio utilizado repetidamente por grupos cazadores-recolectores-pescadores durante el Holoceno tardío. Una de las dataciones obtenidas para este sitio, refiere a la ocupación más temprana de la microrregión (2433 ± 36 años 14C AP). Se recuperaron 1434 especímenes óseos, de los cuales 70,85% (n=1016) fueron asignados a alguna categoría taxonómica, mientras que 29,15% (n=418) se clasificaron como Indeterminados. Una característica de este conjunto es su alta fragmentación, predominan vertebrados de pequeño y mediano porte: aves, peces y mamíferos. Entre estos últimos se identificaron el orden Rodentia, el género Lycalopex sp. y la especie Myocastor coypus. Mientras que la fauna mayor está representada por la familia Cervidae, la especie Ozotoceros bozoarticus y otros mamíferos indeterminados. Aunque se registraron escasas huellas de corte y fracturas antrópicas, además de termoalteraciones, se propone que estos grupos-coincidiendo con el modelo propuesto para el área– explotaron básicamente la fauna menor y complementaron su economía con el aprovechamiento de cérvidos.
El verso sincero de Pedro Garfias
Authors: Ruiz Lara Jorge
Published: March 2023

En este trabajo abordaremos la obra de Pedro Garfias. Su poesía, comprometida con sus propios sentimientos y con su momento histórico, fue de una importancia capital en el seno del movimiento ultraísta, en la poesía de la Guerra Civil y en el exilio republicano. Este acercamiento a su obra pretende ahondar en el estudio de su poesía, olvidada en la España de después de la dictadura, y participar en la recuperación de su figura, que consideramos clave para comprender la literatura española del siglo XX.
Quantitative determination of petroleum hydrocarbons in oily sludge following efficient n-heptane separation

Published: March 2023

Accurate analysis of the main chemical components of oil-bearing sludge is an important prerequisite for effective soil remediation and resource reuse. However, precise analysis of the extract components is difficult to achieve because of the mutual interference of saturates, aromatics, and resins, collectively called SAR, and asphaltene that are introduced during chloroform extraction. In this study, SAR was efficiently extracted using n-heptane, while asphaltene components were retained in soil because of their insolubility in n-heptane. The maximum yield of SAR extraction was 27.0%, indicating an increase of 1.75% compared to chloroform extraction. The extracted SAR components were separated by chromatography and the main structural units and components were analyzed. The results show that saturates, aromatics, and resins have a single component, a high content of major components, and contain fewer impurities using n-heptane extraction. Moreover, the solubility of asphaltene was inhibited during the effective extraction of SAR components with n-heptane and did not influence the subsequent analysis of SAR component. Efficient SAR extraction, accurate SAR component analysis, and high efficiency asphaltene separation was achieved using n-heptane-extraction-assisted pyrolysis. This provides a new method for the component analysis of oily sludge and promotes its efficient separation.

The article presents the results of archaeobotanical research from Vilnius, Rusų str. 5. The waterlogged sediment samples were taken from various archaeological contexts dated between the 16th–18th centuries. The abundance of botanical material and large diversity in plant species revealed the diet of past Vilnius inhabitants, the past use of diverse fruit species brown in orchards and in the forest, as well as exotic plants that were likely imported all the way from the southern Europe. The local ruderal vegetation infers of the past local environment at the excavated site.
Age maculodystrophia: the hypothesis of etiopathogenesis
Authors: Dmytrivna Rudkovska Oksana
Published: March 2023

Age-related macular dystrophy (AMD) is one of the main causes of vision loss in old age. The etiopathogenesis of AMD has not been fully elucidated, therefore there is no radical treatment of AMD. The proposed hypothesis is that the trigger of AMD may be a genetically determined weakness of accommodation (related to an excessively small distance "ciliary body - lens equator"). It is necessary to carry out objective accomodometry, OCT diagnostics of the distance "ciliary body - lens equator" in older people with healthy eyes and with ophthalmopathology (including AMD). If the hypothesis is confirmed, it is proposed to: a) surgically expand the ring of the ciliary body; b) to form a simple direct myopic astigmatism of up to 1.5 diopters on an artificial eye with AMD (by calculating the optical power of the IOL or modeling the corneal surface with a femtosecond laser).
Taxation and economic growth: A historical and agnostic review
Authors: Tanzi Vito , Şen Hüseyin , Kaya Ayşe
Published: March 2023

This article provides an agnostic, historical review of taxation and economic growth. It critically evaluates how the relationship between the two has evolved throughout modern history. After an introduction that provides a general overview of the relationship between taxation and growth, the article first discusses the positive role of taxes in promoting economic development in the pre-war and post-war periods of the 1940s. It then critically comments on Solow's neoclassical growth theory and explains the experience of stagflation faced by many advanced countries in the 1970s and its implications for tax theory. New growth theories that attribute an important role in economic growth to government policy in general and tax policy in particular are then discussed. This is followed by a rounded five-point assessment of the impact of taxes on growth. The article ends with a general conclusion.
Testing the Lee-Carter model on Hungarian mortality data
Authors: Petneházi Gábor , Gáll József
Published: March 2023

This article tests the popular Lee-Carter model's performance for Hungarian mortality rate forecasting. Hungary passed through a mortality crisis which makes the task particularly difficult. Previous forecasts and model choices are validated, and updated forecasts are produced. We find that the behaviour of mortality rates is normalizing, and so the basic Lee-Carter model is becoming applicable.

Assessment of growth, metallic ion accumulation, and translocation of lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia) plant in cadmium stress
Authors: ÇIKILI Yakup , SAMET Halil
Published: March 2023

Excess cadmium (Cd), which is toxic to plants, severely limits crop production to agricultural areas. This study was designed to investigate the effect of increased Cd levels on lavandin growth, some physiological parameters, and metallic ion accumulation and translocation. In greenhouse conditions, six different levels of Cd (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µM Cd) were applied to the plants grown in perlite medium together with a complete nutrient solution. Increasing Cd levels decreased the biomass production in both the shoots and roots and the contents of chlorophyll (Chl) a, b, a+b, and carotenoid (Car). In addition, they decreased the concentrations of some metallic cations such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and calcium (Ca) in the shoots and roots. Similarly, they decreased the bio-concentration factor (BCF) of the metallic cations (BCF of Cd, Fe, Mn, and Zn in both the shoots and roots and BCF of copper (Cu) in the roots. They decreased the translocation factor (TF) of Zn and Cu and also the net accumulation (NA) via roots in Fe and Zn. The effect of Cd on the NA via roots in K, Ca, Mn, and Cu was not found significant. However, increasing Cd caused an increase in shoot and root membrane permeability (MP) and the TF of Fe and Mn. It was concluded that Cd2+ ion interacts with divalent cations such as Ca2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+ ions and could affect the concentrations of these ions in the shoots and roots, and also excess Cd has a negative effect on the growth and the photosynthetic capacity of lavandin.
Volatile compounds, bioactive properties and chlorophylls contents in dried spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) as affected by different drying method
Authors: KORKMAZ Aziz , ARSLAN Erhan , KOŞAN Meltem
Published: March 2023

This study presents a comparison of the quality characteristics of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) dried by a photovoltaic thermal dryer (PDS), the shade (SDS), and an oven (ODS). The samples obtained were evaluated with respect to volatile compounds (VC), total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant capacity (AC) and chlorophyll contents. PDS had the highest amount of TPC, TFC and AC, while SDS and ODS did not differ significantly from each other concerning the values of these features. SDS exhibited the highest chlorophylls a (Chl a) and b (Chl b) contents, whereas ODS showed the lowest. The composition of VC in the dried spearmints was significantly affected by the drying methods used. The total amount of terpenoids, especially carvone, responsible for typical aroma spearmint in SDS was higher than that of the other, while the concentrations of most of VC in ODS were the lowest. The results show that the photovoltaic thermal dryer (PVT) can be recommended for spearmints drying.

ARTIGO - AVALIAÇÃO DE CONTEXTO: ANÁLISE COLEGIADA DE INSTRUMENTOS AVALIATIVOS
Authors: MORO CATARINA , BRANCO JORDANNA CASTELO , CORSINO PATRÍCIA
Published: March 2023

RESUMO: A avaliação de contexto se baseia numa metodologia participativa que articula dois eixos: i) “a negociação da qualidade” e ii) “a promoção a partir do interno”, que aliam autoavaliação com avaliação externa, num processo dialógico de confronto de pontos de vista. O objetivo desta avaliação é de sistematizar hipóteses e projetos de melhoria educativa a partir dos itens avaliados. Trata-se de uma avaliação reflexiva, na qual as reivindicações, preocupações e questões dos grupos de interesse são a base para determinar as problematizações e mudanças necessárias. É um processo avaliativo participativo e formativo organizado em etapas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar uma das etapas da avaliação de contexto, na sua fase inicial, em duas experiências avaliativas de contexto: uma realizada no Rio de Janeiro-RJ e outra em Pinhais-PR. Esta etapa consiste na realização da análise crítica do instrumento de avaliação realizada pelos professores em conjunto com o avaliador externo. Todo processo foi registrado em áudio, transcrito e analisado, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Bondioli e Savio (2015), Moro e Coutinho (2018), Corsino e Branco (2019), dentre outros. Observou-se que nos dois contextos avaliados, ao longo do processo avaliativo, os resultados evidenciaram a importância da análise dos instrumentos para o processo formativo, em virtude da tomada de consciência dos professores acerca dos aspectos a serem avaliados, bem como para a construção de entendimentos comuns nas equipes, num processo participativo, dialógico e democrático.
ARTICLE - MIXED-METHOD EVALUATION TO PROMOTE THE QUALITY OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: POTENTIALITY AND TENSIONS OF A COLLECTIVE PRODUCTION

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT: The evaluation of the quality of Early Childhood Education constitutes a field of knowledge and practices that mobilize structural aspects into the area considering the competence of the different agents in the evaluation processes and their effects in the effectiveness of public policy. In the framework of an evaluation aligned with the promotion of quality and the recognition of Early Childhood Education as a public policy subordinate to social control, we propose to discuss the potentialities and tensions present in the mixed-method evaluation, a model that combines internal and external procedures and instruments inside and outside of institutions. The discussion starts from a mixed-method evaluation experience carried out in conjunction with the technical team of the Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo (MPSP), in the Special Education Group of Ribeirão Preto. The results indicate that the mixed evaluation was powerful because of its dialogic format: the external evaluation allowed a technical and multiprofessional look aligned with the public quality policy; the internal evaluation facilitated a collective self-reflection on quality but showed different strengths and weaknesses in terms of critical views. By combining these perspectives, possibilities are created for overcoming the limitations of each type of evaluation, and also for reflecting on the dynamics of relationships between individuals and public agencies.

Published: March 2023

RESUMO: Este artigo refere-se a alguns dos dados de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, que teve como tema a implementação de Autoavaliação Institucional Participativa (AIP), como política pública de avaliação da Educação Infantil da Rede Municipal de Ensino da cidade de São Paulo-SP, entre 2013 e 2016. O estudo de caso envolveu profissionais de 1869 unidades educacionais e buscou analisar o processo da AIP sob a ótica dos participantes (FESTA, 2019). Nesta oportunidade, pretende-se focalizar os depoimentos dos educadores a questionário e a entrevista semiestruturada, retratando como eles, à época, concebiam a questão da corresponsabilidade na qualificação das ações cotidianas de suas respectivas instituições, visto que a perspectiva de transformação se constitui parte fundante da AIP (SORDI, 2010; SORDI; SOUZA, 2012; FREITAS, 2016; MORO, 2017). A pesquisa demonstrou a resistência dos profissionais, de várias instituições e de diferentes instâncias administrativas, em assumir a posição de responsabilização pessoal pela qualificação do atendimento às crianças e às famílias (CAMPOS; RIBEIRO, 2016, 2017). Trouxe, ainda, elementos que indicaram a dificuldade dos educadores em realizar uma análise verdadeiramente crítica de suas práticas pedagógicas (OLIVEIRA-FORMOSINHO; KISHIMOTO, 2002; FREIRE, 1996), delegando a outros atores ou atribuindo a fatores externos a possibilidade de realizar as transformações concretas julgadas necessárias. Em conclusão, os dados produzidos indicaram a necessidade de, a partir da AIP, estabelecer metas comuns pertinentes, cuja execução seja de responsabilidade individual, mas também coletivamente assumidas e que estejam intencionalmente articuladas ao Projeto Político-Pedagógico de cada instituição (FREITAS, 2005, 2016).

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze, in the light of the Social Ecological Theory, the progression of reported cases of HIV during pregnancy in a Brazilian state and their relationship with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Retrospective study, with a sample consisting of all reports of gestational HIV in the state of Ceará - Brazil from 2017 to 2021, on the IntegraSUS platform. Data collection was carried out in January 2022. The analyzed variables were organized according to the theoretical levels: macrosystem, exosystem, mesosystem, and microsystem. Results: A total of 1,173 cases of HIV in pregnant women were recorded. When comparing the pre- and post-pandemic period, a reduction in the disease detection rate (from 231 to 122.67 pregnant women) was observed, as well as 1.82 times more chances of women not using antiretrovirals during childbirth after the start of the pandemic. There was a 55% reduction in vaginal births and 39% in cesarean sections among women diagnosed with HIV after the start of the pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had an epidemiological and care impact, leading to a reduction in the number of notifications and in the detection rate of pregnant women living with HIV in the state of Ceará. Therefore, the need to ensure health care coverage is emphasized, with early diagnosis actions, guaranteed treatment, and quality prenatal care.

ABSTRACT Objective: This systematic review aims to answer the following focus question: “Is there an association between atypical swallowing and malocclusions?”. Methods: Appropriate word combinations were chosen and tailored specifically for each of the following electronic databases: EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), LIVIVO, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature, without any restrictions, up to February 2021. According to the selection criteria, only cross-sectional studies were included. The following inclusion criteria were considered: a sample composed of children, adolescents, and adults; patients clinically diagnosed with atypical swallowing; patients with normal swallowing; and outcome of interest of atypical swallowing in patients with malocclusion. The data consisted of study characteristics, sample characteristics, results, and conclusion of each study. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies, and the certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE tool. Results: 4,750 articles were identified. After a two-step selection, four studies were included. A higher frequency of distal occlusion, extreme maxillary overhang, and open bite was related to swallowing disorders; most studies pointed to posterior crossbite as a malocclusion more associated with atypical swallowing. All studies had a moderate to high risk of bias, and the certainty of evidence was very low. Conclusion: The results indicate that atypical swallowing is associated with malocclusions and that posterior crossbite is the main malocclusion found, but only in the young population (3-11 years). Registration: PROSPERO (42020215203).

Results Three final themes emerged: “Care plan”; “Standardization of practices”; and “Dialogical communication at different levels of care”. The pattern of responses points to the fragmentation of care and weakens coordination mechanisms. The exposure of restrictive factors related to the meso- and macro-organizational levels of the municipal health system reverberates in the ability of teams to coordinate care. Conclusion and implications for practice The coordination of care faces obstacles related to the work process of teams and structural issues in the organization of the health network. The contributions go beyond care and management, reaching education, research, and extension in professional training. Permanent education enables reorientations to guarantee the flow of users in the care network and provide comprehensive care to the population.
Proto-Tupi-Guarani had no palatalized velar stop
Authors: Carvalho Fernando
Published: March 2023

Abstract This paper addresses one of the open issues in the reconstruction of Proto-Tupi-Guarani (PTG) segmental phonology: The status of the *k -*kʲ opposition. We argue that the contrast is artifactual and that the presumed evidence in favor of PTG *kʲ can be considered as secondary developments of PTG *k in Kayabí, Guarayu, Kagwahiva, Tenetehára, Kamayurá, and Ka’apor. We establish additional facts regarding the structure of PTG and the historical phonology of TG languages, also showing that this finding eliminates the need for an unmotivated split in Pre-PTG history, a problematic feature of current reconstructions of the Proto-Tupian consonant system.
Sobre o Direito, a especificidade da esfera estatal e a determinação em última instância em Friedrich Engels
Authors: Sartori Vitor Bartoletti
Published: March 2023

Resumo A partir da análise imanente da obra de Friedrich Engels, buscaremos explicitar as determinações do Estado no autor. Ao analisar a chamada determinação em última instância, mostraremos que, longe de ela implicar na desconsideração das diferentes instâncias da sociedade, tal determinação implica no reconhecimento da diferença específica entre as funções distintas de cada uma delas em momentos outros da história. Mostraremos que, neste percurso, é essencial passar pela correlação entre Estado, Direito, religião, autonomização da esfera estatal para que, então, seja possível entender a especificidade da esfera estatal na obra de Engels.
Brazilian anti-indigenous politics: tracking changes on indigenous rights regulation during Bolsonaro’s government
Authors: Gonçalves Veronica Korber , Cafrune Marcelo Eibs
Published: March 2023

Abstract Between 2019 and 2022, the Bolsonaro’s government propagated a strong anti-environmental and anti-indigenous rhetoric that devalued how indigenous peoples live and occupy these territories. In this paper, we are interested in understanding the total repercussions of Bolsonaro’s anti-environmentalism, focusing on the legal norm propositions involving indigenous peoples and indigenous lands. We argue that the Law is one crucial instrument to maintain or change social relations and by tracing normative changes, we can comprehend important aspects of power disputes in specific contexts. In this sense, we examine the production of legal norms by the federal government and by the National Congress that flexibilize, sometimes indirectly, the territorial rights of indigenous peoples and how this process is publicly defended by the contestation of indigenous history, culture, and rights.
Nem tudo o que reluz é ouro: Florianópolis e o urbanismo competitivo
Authors: Siqueira Marina Toneli , Lucas Aleph Tonera
Published: March 2023

Resumo A busca de cidades em todo o mundo por sua inserção em um mercado competitivo global tem gerado consequências nas formas de planejamento e gestão urbanas, cada vez mais próximas de modelos empresariais e pouco representativas das realidades locais. Localizada no sul do Brasil e fora dos grandes circuitos de capital global, Florianópolis vem acompanhando essa tendência, com agentes públicos e privados apostando em suas características ambientais e em novos arranjos produtivos locais como propulsores de uma nova fase de desenvolvimento urbano atrelado aos modelos internacionais. Este artigo demonstra como os setores do turismo, tecnologia e inovação vêm sendo utilizados para a promoção e consolidação da imagem competitiva da capital catarinense, deixando como resultado lacunas, contradições e desequilíbrios territoriais.
Human dignity affected by environments created through digital tools
Authors: Afonso Claudia
Published: March 2023

Abstract By focusing the discussion on human dignity and built spaces, this article is divided into two parts. In the first one, we present a philosophical analysis of the bases of the method and of digital tools, seeking to show how René Descartes’ metaphysical premises have been transformed into tools that submerge individualities and homogenize urban aesthetics. In the second part, we analyze neuroscientific research related to the human capacity to decide. We conclude that the built environment is an active element in the formation of such capacity. In view of this, the use of digital tools to create architectural spaces, without knowledge of their philosophical foundations and limits, may be contributing to mass society, manipulable and potentially diminished in its dignity.
Agricultura urbana,inovação social e governança:um estudo em Florianópolis
Authors: Manoel André Augusto , Andion Carolina
Published: March 2023

Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender os processos de inovação social engendrados pelas práticas de agricultura urbana na cidade de Florianópolis. Apresentamos os resultados de um estudo de caso qualitativo intrínseco, realizado tendo como referência uma perspectiva pragmatista e o quadro analítico-metodológico da etnografia de arenas públicas. A partir de uma cartografia do campo de práticas de agricultura urbana na cidade, identificamos três grandes dinâmicas de inovação social situadas em três diferentes arenas públicas: a dos resíduos sólidos orgânicos, a do direito humano à alimentação adequada e a dos ciclos de produção e consumo. Os resultados auxiliam a compreensão da complexidade dos processos de inovação social e suas implicações para a governança na cidade.
Minimização de resíduos sólidos na Suécia: proposições para gestão em municípios brasileiros
Authors: Marchi Cristina Maria Dacach Fernandez
Published: March 2023

Resumo Para que a reciclagem aconteça, são necessárias normas, participação social e infraestrutura adequada para a coleta do material descartado. As estruturas e as normas internacionais e nacionais que norteiam o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos na Suécia favorecem a redução do volume descartado. Nesse contexto, este artigo objetiva examinar os arranjos institucionais dos serviços de manejo dos resíduos sólidos da Região Metropolitana de Estocolmo e seus efeitos sobre a diminuição do volume encaminhado para destinação final. A metodologia utilizada tem natureza exploratória, do tipo descritiva, com análise qualitativa. Os arranjos institucionais aplicados na Suécia vêm contribuindo para o alcance de objetivos nacionais e internacionais propostos para o país e podem inspirar o aperfeiçoamento do gerenciamento desses serviços no Brasil.

Ao fim, foram compartilhados apontamentos para utilização da medicina narrativa como ferramenta para uma prática humanizadora.
SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH: THE ROLE OF FUNDING
Authors: Lins Rodrigo Freire , Erthal Alice , Marques Leonardo
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Companies deal with increasing pressure from multiple stakeholders to report not only their sustainable practices, but also their extended supply chain sustainability (SCS). However, the literature has paid less attention to how stakeholder pressures are shaped in the Global South characterized by institutional voids related to contracting, outsourcing, and weak legislation enforcement. This study maps which stakeholder pressures are associated with SCS reporting analyzing an unbalanced panel data of 220 corporate sustainability reports from 2016 to 2018 by Brazilian listed companies. Results show that long-term oriented shareholders and creditors, company size, and adoption of GRI guidelines are all associated with higher levels of SCS reporting, while public and regulatory pressures are not, offering support to the institutional voids rationale. In the absence or weakness of regulatory pressures, long-term funding sources and access to resources seem to step-in as associated drivers of SCS reporting.
ENTREPRENEURIAL ATTRIBUTES IN VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS SETTLED IN COLOMBIA
Authors: Albornoz-Arias Neida , Santafé-Rojas Akever-Karina
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT The study analyzes the entrepreneurial attributes of Venezuelan migrants settled in Gramalote (Norte de Santander Department, Colombia) that explain the perception and ability to seize opportunities (as a dependent variable) and the sociodemographic and contextual characteristics (independent variables). The research adopted a positivist paradigm and a quantitative approach to obtain data from a survey conducted with 88 Venezuelan migrants. A bivariate analysis was carried out for data processing, and the categories of variables were grouped to be treated statistically using multinomial logistic regression. It is recommended that public policies on migration for the inclusion of Venezuelan entrepreneurs in Colombia consider the following entrepreneurial attributes: educational level, employment generation, efficiency and quality, compliance and responsibility, information seeking, and support networks since these attributes are associated with the likelihood of perception and capacity to seize business opportunities.

Abstract This purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of the McMaster and Mini-FLOTAC quantitative techniques in the investigation of helminths in feces of pigs. An analysis was made of 74 fecal samples from pigs raised on family farms located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These were analyzed by the Mini-FLOTAC and McMaster techniques in a solution of 1,200g/mL NaCl. This investigation revealed a superiority in the frequency of all helminths detected by Mini-FLOTAC, including Ascaris suum, Trichuris suis, strongyles and Strongyloides ransomi. The Kappa index revealed substantial agreement in all comparisons made in relation to the frequency of positive samples. However, significant statistical differences in the comparison of EPGs between McMaster and Mini-FLOTAC were observed for all nematodes (p ≤0.05). Higher values of Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient (r), between the techniques in relation to EPG were observed for A. suum and T. suis, differently from what was observed for strongyles and S. ransomi. Mini-FLOTAC proved to be a more satisfactory and reliable technique both for the diagnosis of parasites and for the determination of EPG in pig feces due to the larger size of its counting chambers, thus increasing the helminth egg recovery rates.
