Authors: Omer Javed  , Bushra Kaleem  , Sana Naveed  , Anila Aali  , Hamza Khan
Published: November 2024

Chediak Higashi syndrome (CHS), a rare form of autosomal recessive disorder has been reported globally in less than 500 cases over the past two decades. It clinically manifests as repeated episodes of infection, haemorrhagic sequelae, partial albinism, photosensitivity and late neurological signs (neuropathy, cognitive impairment etc). The pathognomonic morphological finding is the presence of abnormally large intra-cytoplasmic granules, particularly in leucocytes. Almost 85% of CHS cases advance into an accelerated phase, characterized by cytopenias and hemophagocytosis, leading to multi-organ failure. Case presentation: The child in the present case had consanguinity and a positive family history of recurrent infections. She had repeated episodes of bacterial infections. She also had a history of photosensitivity. CBC reported cytopenias. Peripheral smear showed neutrophils with characteristic large sized abnormal intra-cytoplasmic granules. Bone marrow biopsy was performed which also showed similar granules in leucocytes along with hemophagocytosis. Other clinical and biochemical markers also pointed towards hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), thus patient was diagnosed as CHS in an accelerated phase. She received eight doses of chemotherapy but eventually expired. Conclusion: The definitive treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation which improves the hematological and immune aspects of CHS but not the neurological. Steps should be taken for early diagnosis and to prevent advancement into the accelerated phase.

Background: Poison is defined as any substance that harms, endangers, or even kills a person irrespective of the quality or quantity. Pakistan is a developing country and farming is the major occupation of most of the population. Due to the easy availability and increased use of pesticides, accidental and suicidal poisoning is very common. The objective of the study is to find out the most common poison used by people in the general population and its frequency in our setup. Methods: Casualty Department of the Ayub Teaching Hospital in Abbottabad, served as the site of this retrospective investigation. Registrations between January 1st and December 31st, 2023, provided the data. All cases with a history of poisoning were included. Using SPSS 22, the data was analyzed. Sample was limited to those who were admitted when they were still alive. Ethical permission was taken from hospital administration. Results: The study revealed that poisoning was more common among females and the most common age group affected was 16-22years. 57.8% (52) cases were of suicidal intent while 40% (36) were accidental. Conclusion: Female and young people are more prone to Aluminium Phosphide (wheat pill) poison. It is a dangerous and lethal poison, so healthcare workers at emergency department ought to be prepared for such cases. Furthermore, its routine use as a domestic pesticide has to be strictly prohibited by creating awareness among the public.

Authors: Koh Ewe Jin , Chin Ming Lee , Ab'llah@Ariffin Nor Aizan
Published: November 2024

Immune mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) is a rare autoimmune disease of the muscles belonging to the subset of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). This disease entity has classically been associated with myositis specific antibodies. The hallmark feature in clinching the diagnosis of IMNM would be a muscle biopsy showing muscle necrosis and regeneration in the absence of significant inflammatory infiltrates, interpreted in an appropriate clinical context. The term '˜neuromyositis' was previously coined in the year 1893 to describe a concomitant polyneuropathy in patients with polymyositis or dermatomyositis. However, a combined polyneuropathy with IMNM has never been reported in previous literature. We describe a case of a 35-year-old gentleman who presented with a 5-day history of symmetrical bilateral lower limb pain and weakness. Despite a negative autoimmune work-up, his muscle biopsy was suggestive of IMNM. A nerve conduction study done had also revealed a superimposed non-length dependant axonal polyneuropathy. The patient had responded well to steroids and is now under remission. This case serves to highlight a rare entity of seronegative IMNM superimposed with an axonal polyneuropathy.

Background: Surgeons specifically junior ones in our setup of third world country face the issue of diagnosing Acute Appendicitis (AA) as presentation usually is not typical. Cases presenting at odd hours may put residents & house officers in trouble, when sophisticated investigations are either un-available or expansive. Need for a structured diagnostic criterion is thus always there. Various scores have been designed to help out surgeon e.g. Alvarado score which got more popular & is practiced randomly. Aim of this study was to revisit Alvarado score for its efficacy in current era at Ayub Teaching Hospital (ATH) Abbottabad, i.e., by calculating negative appendicectomy rate. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Surgical B Unit (ATH) from 1st September 2021 to 31st May 2022. 160 patients with pain RIF were included & evaluated by Alvarado score & consequently placed in 03 groups. Those having score 1-4 (Group-1) at presentation were discharged while the ones with score 5-6 (Group-2) were observed, re-evaluated at interval for re-grouping as Group-1 or 3 based on their final score. Patients with score 7-10 (Group-3), having score confirmed Acute Appendicitis were operated. Findings were recorded on a proforma. SPSS-version 26 was utilized for statistical analysis. Results: Total patients were 160, males were 118 & female patients were 42. Discharged (Group-1) patients were 22.  Group-2 patients (41 in number), were observed for 24-48 hour when score of 16 declined to ‰¤4 level & were discharged. 25 patients whose score increased to ‰¥7 level were operated like other                        97 patients of Group-3. Histopathology confirmed 109 of 122 patients as acute appendicitis while 13 turned out negative appendicectomies. Negative appendicectomy rate was therefore 10.65%     i.e. 13 out of 122, it was 06.17% in males (i.e., 05 of 81) & 19.51% (i.e., 08 of 41) in females. Conclusion: Alvarado score again proved helpful even today in reducing the negative appendicectomy rate at surgery department of ATH, it should therefore be routinely adopted in diagnosis of suspected appendicitis cases in the third world countries (e.g. Pakistan) setup (facing scarcity of sophisticated resources).

Published: November 2024

Background: Misusing alcohol can cause damage to different tissues in the body, resulting in conditions like alcoholic liver disease, pancreatitis, cardiomyopathy, neurotoxicity, muscle wasting, weakened immune system, hormonal disruptions, birth defects, and bone loss. The objective of this research was to evaluate how alcohol affects the exocrine pancreas histology and the levels of amylase in the blood serum. Additionally, it aimed to explore whether vitamin E provides a safeguard against alcohol-induced harm to the pancreas in rabbits. Methods:  A laboratory-based experimental investigation was carried out at Peshawar Medical College involving eighteen healthy adult male domestic rabbits weighing between one to one and a half kilograms each. The rabbits were divided into three groups. Group A, serving as the control, received normal saline as a placebo. Group B was administered a daily dose of 30 percent ethanol solution (30 ml/kg/day) in normal saline. Group C received a daily oral dose of 30% ethanol solution (30 ml/kg/day) in normal saline along with vitamin E (50mg/kg/day). Blood samples were collected for serum amylase analysis, while morphological assessment of acinar cells involved evaluating cell count, acinar size, acinar cell size, and acinar nucleus size. Results: Serum amylase levels did not exhibit a statistically significant variance between the control and experimental groups as p-value was >0.05. Furthermore, no notable distinctions were noted in the size and number of pancreas acini, cells of pancreatic acini, and pancreatic acinar cells nuclei between the control and experimental groups in both category E4 and Category E8, as p >0.05. Conclusion: There were no significant variations noted in the size and number of acini in pancreas, cells in pancreatic acini, and nuclei of cells in pancreatic acini. Consequently, the protective role of vitamin E against alcohol-induced pancreatic damage was not conclusively identified.

Authors: Murphy Lindsey M. , King Elizabeth K.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine first responders’ lived experiences with children during emergency events and to assess their needs to best support the children and families affected. First responders play a critical role in psychosocial support and trauma mitigation for children during emergency events; however, more support is needed. This study completed 16 semi-structured open-ended interviews with eight first responders, using phenomenology methods. Interviews focused on first responders’ perceptions of children’s reactions to the event, their roles in supporting children’s psychosocial needs, and their perceived gaps in services to support children. Results indicated four phenomena related to experienced child reactions during emergency events 1) lack of reactions, 2) emotion-based reactions, 3) information seeking reactions, and 4) observant reactions. First responders identified their role in supporting children on the scene in using distraction, providing calming and reassurance, and education, yet they identified gaps in their education and training for working with children, as well as a need for direct trained and professional support for children and families. Psychosocial providers, such as Certified Child Life Specialists, are trained and qualified to support the gaps identified and should both collaborate with first responders to enhance support during emergency events and provide training to first responders in pediatric trauma-informed care practices.

Tomato bacterial wilt, caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, poses a significant threat to tomato production worldwide. The management of this devastating disease often relies on chemical pesticides, which can have adverse environmental and health impacts. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as eco-friendly alternatives for disease control. This study aimed to evaluate the biocontrol efficacy of selected PGPR strains against tomato bacterial wilt. A total of ten PGPR strains were purified from soil samples and were assessed for their potential to promote tomato growth through various plant growth-promoting traits, such as production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), phosphate solubilization, and siderophore production. All the ten bacterial strains were screened for their ability to suppress the growth of R. solanacearum in-vitro using dual-culture assays. In greenhouse experiments, selected PGPR strains were applied as seed treatments and soil drenches to tomato plants infected with R. solanacearum. Disease incidence and biocontrol efficacy by PGPR were monitored throughout the study. Results revealed that several PGPR strains exhibited strong antagonistic activity against R. solanacearum in-vitro dual culture technique ranging from 0-34 mm zone of inhibition. The greenhouse trials demonstrated that the application of selected three PGPR strains alone and in consortium significantly reduced the disease incidence up to 5% as compared with control 71% of tomato bacterial wilt and have up to 64% biocontrol efficacy to inhibit R. solanacearum under greenhouse conditions. Overall, this study highlights the promising biocontrol potential of selected PGPR strains against tomato bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum. These findings suggest that the integration of PGPR-based biocontrol strategies into tomato production practices has the potential to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides, promote sustainable agriculture, and minimizing the environmental impact of disease management.

Published: November 2024

Mangifera indica L., commonly known as mango, is a vital fruit crop in Pakistan, renowned for its rich nutritional profile and phytochemical composition. However, mangoes are susceptible to various phytopathogenic diseases, with anthracnose being a significant concern. This study investigated the impact of environmental factors, specifically temperature and humidity, on the development of mango anthracnose. Seven mango varieties (Duseri, Anwarlatore, Sindhri, Langra, Sammar, White Chunsa, and Fajr) were selected and surveyed in the Bahawalpur region, including Mubarakpur, Yazman, Ahmadpur East, Lalsuhanra, and Bahawalpur City. Tagged leaves exhibiting anthracnose symptoms were monitored to assess the disease's growth rate in response to environmental factors. Our findings suggest that optimal conditions in the Bahawalpur region facilitate the proliferation of mango anthracnose. Significantly, changes in rainfall patterns, potentially linked to global warming, contribute to the spread of anthracnose disease.

Lawsonia inermis’s anti-coccidial observations in desi birds were carried out. During the study, thirty (30) birds of four (4) weeks of age were purchased from the surrounding areas of Hyderabad district. The birds were randomly divided into six groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with five birds in each group. Group A was control (without any treatment), and groups B, C, and D were treated with Lawsonia inermis L. at dose rates of 1g/kg feed, 2g/kg feed, and 4g/kg feed respectively. Among all treated groups, the best group for maximum cidal activity was selected and was compared with toltrazuril at a dose rate of 2g/litter in the water against Eimeria tenella cidal activity and their effect on organ weight. For this purpose, the following parameters were recorded such as oocysts count, organ weight, lesion scoring, gut weight, weig654321` ht of immune organs and body scoring. Results revealed lowest oocyst count in toltrazuril followed by lawsonia treatment groups as comparison to the control group (0.99 vs 1.98). While to organ weight the maximum weight of liver (12.70g), heart (2.02g), and gizzard (22.28g) was recorded in group E treated with toltrazuril, followed by group F treated with lawsonia (10.11g), heart (1.90g) and gizzard (19.68g) as compared to control (Eimeria infected) group A minimum weight of liver (9.75G), heart (1.52g) and gizzard (18.40g), and a significant difference was observed in lesion score after 7 and 13 days of treatment (toltrazuril 1.00 & 0.38 followed by lawsonia 2.02 & 1.44) against control (3.12 & 3.56). Additionally, a significant difference was observed in the weight of different parts of the gut, which includes intestine weight (32.46g vs 31.38g) and proventriculus (2.34g vs 2.10g). Moreover, a significant difference was observed in immune organs which include the spleen (1.25g vs 1.39g), bursa (1.25g vs 1.37g), and thymus gland (0.20g vs 0.21g) in comparison to toltrazuril group. In addition to this, body score after lawsonia also showed a significant difference between groups (toltrazuril, lawsonia against control). So it was concluded from the study that Lawsonia inermis L. has a significant impact on organ development and immune organs in addition to anti-oocidal activity.

Vigna radiata (mung bean) is a well-known agricultural crop with high nutritional value and adaptability. In volatile climates, drought stress poses a threat to its production. Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE) is a natural remedy that includes bioactive ingredients and eco-friendly organic fertilizer. In order to improve plant growth, productivity, water usage effectiveness, and nutrient availability, MLEs are essential for controlling drought stress. This mixture strengthens agricultural resilience and works well with habitats that lack water. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an extract from moringa leaves may help preserve Mung agriculture from drought stress. Three water conditions were used to grow the seeds: normal (control; 100% field capacity), moderate (75%), and severe (50%). Then, to aid in growth and the creation of pods, moringa leaf extracts (Control: no MLE, 5x, 10x, and 20x dilutions) were sprayed as foliar spray at various points during germination, vegetative growth, reproductive development, and pod formation. Agronomic, yield, and grain quality indicators in agricultural crops were severely impacted by water stress, although leaf extracts at a 5x dilution dramatically improved root dry weight, shoot dry weight, and the number of pods and seeds harvested under both favorable and unfavorable growing circumstances. Extract has significantly increased the germination rate to 15% compared to seed that was sowed during a drought. In a similar vein, the use of MLE raised shoot and root dry weight by 62% as compared to plants under severe drought conditions. The number of pods dramatically increased by 57% compared to the plant in drought-stricken conditions. The seeds were positively impacted by MLE with a 5x dilution as it increased their quantity by 60% in comparison to the plant under drought, which had the greatest 100 seed weight of 6.02g. Regarding the drought-stressed plant, 5x diluted MLE likewise had a positive impact on biological yield and grain yield, which increased to 73 and 93%, respectively. A 77% rise in the harvest index between the MLE-applied crop and the drought-stressed crop is also notable. From this study, it can be inferred that 5x Dilution leaf extract has a stronger bio stimulant capacity than other Dilutions, which could assist Mung bean seeds produce more seeds and lessen the effects of drought stress.

Tahfiz Al-Qur'an is an effort to maintain, memorize, maintain and preserve the Qur'an revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Islamic boarding schools that are mushrooming in Indonesia will be incomplete without this activity. Even in non-boarding schools, Qur'anic tahfiz is one of the extracurriculars. This shows how much attention Muslims pay in memorizing the Qur'an. To test and improve the quality of memorization of the Qur'an, it is necessary to hold a Qur'an tahfiz competition. This journal discusses the Qur'an tahfiz competition as a place to improve the quality of memorization. The method used is observation. The results showed that the Qur'an tahfiz competition can spur the enthusiasm of Qur'an memorizers, train competitive spirits and establish ukhuwah Islamiyah among fellow Qur'an memorizers.

Pretende-se contribuir para o debate acerca da caracterização e reconhecimento de direitos autorais sobre criações artísticas, em relação a plataformas de Inteligência Artificial. Realizado por meio de abordagem dedutiva e revisão bibliográfica, o texto discorre sobre o conceito de criação artística; aborda os estamentos básicos que delineiam o regime de Direitos de Autor (Civil Law) e sua diferença frente ao Copyright (Common law); apresenta iniciativas de criação artística com o emprego de IA; e, ao final, avalia criticamente a incidência do regime autoralista para sistemas de Inteligência Artificial. Entre outros aspectos, destaca-se que abordagens baseadas na comparação analítica da performance humana e da máquina, ignoram o caráter de garantia fundamental atribuído ao regime de Direitos Autorais. Significa considerar que o propósito da norma, evidenciado de forma mais contundente nos regimes autoralistas de tradição romano-germânica, é oportunizar ao seu destinatário (autor humano) condições para a concretização de sua dignidade existencial, via reconhecimento de direitos patrimoniais e morais.

Published: December 2024

Analistas das ciências econômicas defendem que o capitalismo representa o sistema econômico mais adequado na contemporaneidade. No Brasil, uma análise histórica do desenvolvimento capitalista, desde o período colonial até a primeira república, oferece elementos para entender o discurso jurídico-econômico adotado pelo país, conforme será analisado no presente artigo. Importante destacar que interpretações acerca do conceito de humanismo, serão abordadas nesta pesquisa com o intuito de verificar a concretização dos princípios da ordem econômica. O texto aborda os princípios contidos no artigo 170 da Constituição Federal, onde os legisladores consagraram os valores dos direitos humanos e da justiça social. Sob uma perspectiva realista, evidencia-se a ineficácia na promoção do bem-estar social e no equilíbrio entre economia e direito. Diante disso, através do método hipotético dedutivo e da pesquisa bibliográfica, será esclarecido que a ordem econômica exige um pragmatismo que poderá ser alcançado por uma abordagem considerada humanista.

The growing global demand for new energy sources and innovative technologies is driven by environmental concerns and the need to address the worldwide energy crisis. The Paris Climate Agreement, also known as the United Nations Climate Change Conference Paris 2015 (COP21), has compelled nations to explore cleaner, more sustainable, and carbon-neutral technologies and products. This commitment was reaffirmed at the 2021 Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Ireland. This study seeks to determine whether the global shift in transportation models from combustion to electric traction holds promise for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Brazilian context, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation. To investigate this, a quantitative field research approach was employed, accompanied by relevant literature references. Key indicators, including urban bus routes in Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil, their average mileage, emissions, and energy efficiency, were examined in comparison to electric buses. The research applied the Life Cycle principle, known as "Well to Wheels," to assess emissions in relation to the bus's propulsion system and energy sources. The findings revealed a remarkable 97.19% reduction in emissions (in gCO2eq/km) when using electricity from the predominantly renewable Brazilian electricity grid. Additionally, a 98.37% reduction in emissions (in gCO2eq/km) was observed when a photovoltaic system served as the energy source. These results underscore the sustainable potential of such systems in addressing the urgent global climate crisis.

Espaços não formais de ensino, como centros e museus de ciência, desempenham um papel fundamental na aproximação dos estudantes a vivências interativas. Esses espaços, por meio de exposições e do contato direto com o acervo, facilitam o engajamento em discussões científicas. No entanto, a comunidade surda tem sido historicamente marginalizada nesses ambientes, com pouca representatividade. Este trabalho discute a importância da mediação em um museu de ciências interativo no interior do estado do Rio de Janeiro, à luz dos pressupostos de Vigotski, especialmente sua obra “Problemas da Defectologia”. Questionários aplicados a mediadores museais e estudantes nortearam a análise, que revelou o papel essencial dos mediadores, em colaboração com intérpretes de Libras, para ampliar a participação de estudantes surdos. Os resultados confirmam que pessoas com deficiência auditiva frequentam pouco esses espaços, destacando a necessidade de pesquisas que promovam uma maior inclusão da comunidade surda em discussões científicas, contribuindo assim para a construção de sua cidadania.

Published: December 2024

Military discourse has a considerable impact on the lives of people all over the world, yet only few scholars have paid considerable attention to this sort of discourse. This leads to an obvious need to investigate this genre from different perspectives including stylistics which is the main concern of this study. The study is intended to stylistically analyze a sample of three American military creeds. The study hypothesizes that American military creeds have their own figurative devices which make them distinct texts, and that the figurative devices employed in military creeds vary in terms of their frequencies and functions. The study also hypothesizes that, being written discourse, military creeds are figuratively based, and that the employed figurative devices have a complementary role. They all contribute together to fulfill the creeds’ aims and convey their intended messages. The selected samples are analyzed in the light of Leech and Short’s (2007) model which accounts for figurative devices. The results of analysis show that military creeds have their own distinctive stylistic features, and they are figuratively based. The results also show that the stylistic figurative devices characterizing military creeds have a complementary role in that they all contribute together to achieve the creeds' aims and convey their intended messages.
DEMOCRACIA EM REDE: O PAPEL DOS ALGORITMOS NA LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO E NO PLURALISMO POLÍTICO
Authors: Martins Kennedy da Nobrega , Rodrigues Alexandre Manuel Lopes
Published: November 2024

Nas últimas décadas, os algoritmos das redes sociais redefiniram o ambiente digital, influenciando profundamente a liberdade de expressão e o pluralismo político. Diante disso, essa pesquisa investiga como esses algoritmos, ao segmentarem conteúdos de acordo com o comportamento dos usuários, promovem a criação de “câmaras de eco” e “bolhas digitais” que reforçam a polarização e limitam o acesso a perspectivas divergentes. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão bibliográfica e documental, com análise de fontes acadêmicas e jurídicas sobre o impacto dos algoritmos e da propaganda computacional na formação da opinião pública. Os resultados indicam que, ao priorizar o engajamento em detrimento da diversidade informacional, os algoritmos favorecem ambientes polarizados, dificultando o diálogo democrático e incentivando a disseminação de conteúdos extremistas. Conclui- se que políticas públicas e regulamentações que promovam a transparência dos algoritmos e incentivem a diversidade informacional são essenciais para preservar a integridade da esfera pública digital.

NARRATIVE THERAPY AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE MANAGEMENT: POSSIBLE ARTICULATIONS
Authors: Loureiro Simone Porto
Published: November 2024

The word narrative has become popular in recent times. Disseminated by the media, among other contexts, it appears in political analyses and in discussions about fictional works. In addition to its strictly communicational aspects, the narrative element plays a central role in a clinical, therapeutic, psychological and social approach: narrative therapy. The present study aimed to analyze a possible approximation of the use of practices developed in the field of narrative therapy in works focused on the management of organizational culture (a field traditionally more associated with other knowledge, such as organizational psychology and business administration). In this approach, we sought points of discussion and concepts from studies on organizational culture and others derived from narrative practices, originally developed in the field of narrative therapy. Despite the practical and epistemological challenges, the approximation of the knowledge that emerges from these two fields of study is fruitful, rich in possibilities for organizations and for people who experience their professional activities in them or who can benefit from their social impacts.

Authors: Pistori Eric Marcel Lemes , Mollo Neto Mario
Published: November 2024

The use of high technology in agro-industrial production is a reality in crops, reinforcing the relevance of Agriculture 4.0 as a transforming agent through digitalization and integration of processes. Digital transformation connects all links in the production chain, allowing real-time data from the field to be disseminated and used to improve the control of operations and support strategic decisions with precision. This advancement facilitates more efficient practices, continuous monitoring, and agile responses to environmental and market variables. In this context, this article presents a Systematic Literature Review, addressing the state of the art of Agriculture 4.0, its technologies and practices applied to the agro-industrial sector. In sequence, a case study is applied with data collection in a company that provides technological solutions aimed at the management of the agro-industrial process of the sugar-energy sector. The objective is to analyze and relate the challenges in the integration between the field, technology and the user of the data, in order to identify critical factors that influence the adherence and success of digital solutions. The research seeks to explore how digitalization can optimize operational efficiency, increase productivity, and create opportunities for knowledge management and sustainability in the agribusiness. It was highlighted in the results that the digital transformation in agribusiness, driven by technology 4.0, is changing the way agricultural activities are managed, bringing significant gains in productivity, sustainability and competitiveness, but the growing presence of technologies 4.0 on farms and organizations indicates the importance of a continuous knowledge management plan, which covers both implementation and after-sales monitoring, in order to ensure that users have the skills to deal with innovations. This approach allows not only the technological updating of operations, but also the strengthening of human capital, creating a collaborative environment that is adaptable to changes. It was observed that strengthening the practical knowledge base, with a focus on good practices and use models, is essential for Brazilian agribusiness to make the most of the potential of Agriculture 4.0.

Published: November 2024

This article aims to evaluate the central region of the municipality of Maricá - RJ, from the perspective of Public Transport-Oriented Development - DOT (ITDP, 2024). A territorial cut in the Municipality of Maricá will be presented from the perspective of the five characteristics of the DOT (VTPI, 2019). It is expected to survey the advances in urban mobility, which this city can offer as an example to other Brazilian cities, as well as identify the weak points to be mitigated. The article concludes that the five characteristics of the DOT are partially met in Maricá. It is recommended that future studies evaluate the contrast present in the central region with the other neighborhoods, which have lower population density and less urban attractions. It is expected that this research will encourage the application of the DOT concept in cities, increasing traffic quality and sustainability.
