Stir casting is a frequently used method in the metallurgical process of casting aluminium composites. The microstructure and performance of the composites are influenced by the stirring casting parameters. The majority of research conducted in this area focused on producing composites using stir casting parameters that were predetermined, without utilizing an optimization method. This work aims to optimize the stir casting parameters for the manufacturing of Al-Mg-Si (Al6061) alloy reinforced with hybrid nano Al2O3 and nano ZrO2 in order to enhance its performance. The Taguchi optimization technique was employed to analyze the important effects of stir casting parameters on the ultimate tensile strength of a hybrid metal matrix composite. The composites were produced by the ultrasonic aided stir casting method, employing a set of process parameters determined by the Taguchi L16 orthogonal array. The S/N (Signal to Noise ratio) and Regression model were utilized to determine the optimal values and assess the influence of process parameters on the tensile qualities. The Minitab 21 software was utilized to perform simultaneous optimization of the attributes. The findings indicated that the composition of the nano reinforcement, stirring temperature, stirring speed, and stirring time all had a substantial impact on improving the UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) of the material.

Metaverse, a digitally simulated immersive technology, has potential business value in enabling its users to execute their professional and recreational activities. It engages the users and helps them to serve their purposes. Few studies exist discussing metaverse as an immersive technology though there is a dearth of studies that empirically examine the factors associated with the corresponding user experience. We analysed over 400 thousand user reviews on 14 metaverse applications from Google Play Store to identify those factors associated with the corresponding user experience. We uncovered the pertinent factors with the help of a topic modelling technique and explained their associations with the help of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and Cognitive Absorption Theory (CAT) crafting a unified framework. Multiple regression models help us to validate the proposed framework. We find that sociability, density, telepresence, temporal dissociation, focused immersion, heightened enjoyment, curiosity, and playfulness positively influence the user experience of the virtual immersive space of the Metaverse. These insights can help policymakers and academicians take apt measures to make the Metaverse space more immersive and engrossing.

The Institution of Biological and Social Emergency in the Legislation of Russia and Kazakhstan
Authors: Idrysheva S. K. , Sokolskaya L. V.
Published: August 2024

The phenomenon of the institution of an emergency situation is reflected in the legislation of almost all countries of the modern world. A systematic analysis of the legislation of Russia and Kazakhstan showed that biological and social emergencies were not legally separated into an independent form, which led to significant gaps in the regulation of public relations during the coronavirus pandemic. The emergency situation in connection with the pandemic actually limited previously established socio-economic ties, made it difficult to realize such constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens as the right to work, freedom of movement, and decent medical care. The forced introduction of epidemiological restrictions and the imperfection of the legislative framework have led to the emergence of social problems in Russia and Kazakhstan. Based on the study, the authors conclude that at the legislative level it is necessary to make the most comprehensive classification of emergency situations on the grounds of their occurrence and the territory they affect. The systematic classification of types of emergencies on the grounds of their occurrence will allow the fullest implementation of legal regulation of each type of emergency in the most appropriate way, including determining the powers of authorized bodies, the rights and obligations of the population and representatives of legal entities, the list and procedure for the application of restrictions, etc. The introduction of norms on biological and social emergencies into legislative acts will make it possible to fill in the gaps in the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Constitutional and Legal Foundations of Experimental Legal Regimes in Healthcare
Authors: Khurmatullina A. M.
Published: August 2024

An experimental legal regime is crucial amid the introduction of digital technologies and the support of a competitive environment for the development of entrepreneurship. This is accompanied by the introduction of special regulation. The paper substantiates the thesis that such a regime affects the institution of the realization and protection of human rights. The paper analyzes the programs adopted by the Government, which establish an experimental legal regime as to digital innovations in the field of medical activity. The author considers constitutional principles of the experimental legal regime and the specifics of their implementation in relation to the field of public health protection. Two groups of principles are distinguished among them: those enshrined in the Constitution and legislation and those arising from the meaning of the provisions of the Constitution. It is noted that the Government of the Russian Federation has paid great attention to guarantees of human rights in the field of health protection, in particular, monitoring of medical care provided to citizens, internal control, maintenance by the subject of the experimental regime of the register of offenses, judicial form of protection. At the same time, the presence of legislative gaps and imperfection of legal technology complicate the realization of citizens’ rights and freedoms in the field of health protection under an experimental legal regime: the right to information, personal data protection, and compensation for harm. The paper substantiates the conclusion about the need to improve legislation on experimental legal regimes in the field of healthcare.
The Essence of Law in the light of Objective Idealism and Naturalistic Dualism
Authors: Likhter P. L.
Published: August 2024

The dual nature of law lies in the fact that, on the one hand, it acts as an objective public regulator, on the other hand, the specificity of its unique perception presupposes the formation of a subjective sense of justice. Every time when faced with legal phenomena, a person experiences emotions, becomes aware of them and reacts in a certain way. The legal reality formed in this case is not a mental category in the head of an individual. Its objectification serves as the basis for building social communications and establishing generally recognized boundaries of what is permissible. The specificity of legal phenomena requires clarification of their essential features in order to isolate them from other objects of the surrounding world. Of particular importance here is the supervenience attribute, which mediates the determinacy of law by basic cultural, ideological, socio-economic prerequisites. The purpose of the paper is to search for relevant methodological tools to explain the ontological essence of law based on the conceptual approaches of Plato’s objective idealism and D. Chalmers’ naturalistic dualism. These concepts seem to be more successful in explaining legal phenomena than materialistic concepts, since they allow us to recognize the independence of the ontological status not only of physical phenomena. Consciousness is filled with intelligible objects that do not have substance, but have their own essence. The identity and intensity of perception of legal abstractions confirm the reality of legal reality. The work uses dialectical, historical, logical, hermeneutic, hermeneutic, sociological, formal legal, predictive and other methods of cognition.

Authors: Chakraborty Shuvam , Mukhopadhyay Rameswar , Dutta Rohan , Samanta Souvik , Bagchi Aparajita , Mitra Oishi , Majumder Rajib
Published: August 2024

Recently, the advancement in sustainable methods for fabricating novel metabolites is one of the prime challenges in metabolic engineering. The current increase in fuel prices and its limited supply made the scientific community more concerned about finding an alternate source of fuel generation. Scientists are now interested in biofuel because of its low cost and ease of production. An intriguing area of research in metabolic engineering is using imaginative manipulation of microbes to manufacture chemicals or molecules of commercial importance. One such bacterium whose commercial potential is rapidly attracting the attention of the scientific fraternity is Cyanobacteria, which are either single-celled or multi-cellular filamentous photosynthetic organisms that can also fix CO2. The generation of biofuel has been transformed by the use of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology in cyanobacteria, which allows for precise genetic alterations to improve their metabolic processes. Scientists can effectively modify the cyanobacterial genome using CRISPR to increase lipid accumulation, maximize photosynthetic efficiency, and enhance stress tolerance. Cyanobacteria have gained attention in the scientific community as a potential source for biofuel production due to several advantageous characteristics like photosynthetic capacity, genetic manipulation, lack of dependency on fertile land, high biomass yield, versatile biofuel production etc. which our present manuscript aims to catalogue. Cyanobacteria play a pivotal role in developing environmentally friendly energy solutions by converting CO2 into renewable energy sources, serving as a flexible platform for producing different types of biofuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Tibetan Buddhism: artistic, literary, and social legacy
Authors: Zreik Mohamad
Published: August 2024

Since the 7th century, Tibetan culture and society have been profoundly influenced by Buddhism. This paper aims to explore how Buddhism has shaped Tibetan aesthetics, music, literature, and social structures and to understand its enduring role in Tibetan identity and history. Employing a qualitative research methodology that includes historical analysis, textual interpretation, and ethnographic studies, the paper investigates the development of a unique Tibetan aesthetic tradition, the establishment of monasteries and the monastic system, and the translation and creation of Buddhist texts. Findings reveal that Buddhism has significantly impacted Tibetan art by fostering the creation of intricate religious art forms like thangkas and mandalas, which are central to Tibetan Buddhist practice and reflect a profound spiritual connection between art and religion. The influence of Buddhism on Tibetan literature is evident in the rich body of original, translated, and adapted texts that have shaped Tibetan literary culture and transmitted Buddhist values and philosophies. Furthermore, Buddhism's centrality in Tibetan society is underscored by the establishment of monasteries and the monastic system, which have been pivotal in preserving Tibetan heritage and culture, providing essential services, and acting as beacons of learning and compassion within the community. The paper recommends further research into the specific ways Buddhist philosophy has influenced Tibetan art and music, the impact of various Buddhist canonical texts on Tibetan literature, and the continuing influence of Buddhism on modern Tibetan society.
Socialisation and character education in the Muslim world: exploring the role, impact, and necessity of indoctrination
Authors: Allison Safwaan Zamakda
Published: August 2024

This investigation seeks to understand the importance of imparting character education to students across the educational spectrum. It examines the intricate nexus lying between shared boundaries that form the provision of education, socialisation, and indoctrination. It delves into the multifaceted elements of character education, emphasising the transmission of moral, social, religious, and ethical values. By analysing the role of educators as key influencers, the research underscores the challenges in fostering positive characteristics amidst the modern digital landscape and diverse cultural contexts, particularly in the Muslim world. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilising a narrative literature review to understand the subjective aspects of morality and social values and appreciate the importance of character education within religious and secular frameworks. There is no doubt that education has a profound impact on students, especially in their formative years, shaping them into moral, well-behaved, and intelligent members of society. It should equip students with the knowledge and character to thrive as contributing citizens, both locally and globally, in the digital age. This study found that teachers are somewhat reluctant to be accused of ‘indoctrination’, but this is inherently an integral element of education, and should therefore be embraced, acknowledged, and used for good: instilling critical thinking, along with a moral compass and the values needed to be upstanding and successful members of society.
APPLICATION OF MODERN METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR DETERMINATION OF POLLUTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT RAW MATERIALS
Authors: Prokopenko Yu. S. , Nefodov O. O. , Fedko N. F.
Published: August 2024

Quality control of herbal preparations is an important component to ensure the effectiveness and safety of their use. Phytochemical medicines are made from medicinal plant materials that may contain unwanted chemical compounds, so careful quality control must be performed to ensure their safety and efficacy.
The success of quality control of herbal materials requires an integrated approach, i.e. a combination of various techniques and methods that allow analyzing the main classes of compounds. Various methods of analysis are used to overcome these difficulties. Today, the main chemical methods for determining the quality of medicinal products are chromatographic, in particular gas chromatography (GC), often combined with mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin-layer chromatography (TLC), column chromatography (CC).
Besides, HILIC is the optimal method for the analysis of polar and ionized compounds that are too strongly retained on polar stationary phases and/or poorly separated by standard chromatographic methods.
TLC/HPTLC methods are traditionally used by the SPhU and the European Pharmacopoeia for identification of herbs and detection of impurities by visual assessment, as well as for semi-quantitative determination of compounds when comparing the intensity of the spot in the zone of the tested solution with spots in the zones of reference compounds. The mentioned methods have still remained the most acceptable for the identification of herbs, which is explained by the unique chromatographic profile of each plant or extract based on it. At the same time, the instrumental method of HPLC has advantages due to the possibility of quantitative determination of substances that fluoresce in UV or visible light.
Nowadays, the direction of scientific research devoted to the optimization of the previously described analytical methods and the development of new ones for the identification of both herbs and herbal materials, as well as herbal remedies, becomes relevant. In addition, the development of methods for the quantitative determination of herbal compounds is a relevant scientific and practical direction.
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR SYNTHESIS OF NEW DERIVATIVES OF INDENOQUINOXALINE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS WITH ESTERS OF α-, β-AMINO ACIDS
Authors: Sazonov K. D. , Ishkov Yu. V.
Published: August 2024

11-Оxoindeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid was obtained by the cyclization reaction of 2,3-diaminobenzoic acid with ninhydrin. Five amide derivatives of indenoquinoxalinecarboxylic acid were first synthesized on its basis and with the use of esters of α- and β-amino acids. For the introduction of amino acid residues, three methods of preliminary activation of the carboxyl group were developed: with the help of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, by converting it into an anhydride group, and into a mixed anhydride group with ethyl ester of monochlorocarbonic acid. The latter method showed significantly increased yields of target compounds and better reproducibility compared to the other two activation methods. The synthesized compounds were identified and characterizedby the methods of chromatography-mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The pharmacological properties of the obtained compounds were predicted by computer modeling using the PharmMapper software. Analysis of the results showed that they may have the properties of DNA intercalators and be promising objects for high-throughput screening in the search for new effective antiviral and anticancer drugs.
Use of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Devices for Post-Market Surveillance
Authors: Ghosh Samadrita
Published: August 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in post-market surveillance (PMS) for monitoring the safety and performance of medical products. This article explores the role of AI in optimizing PMS practices, focusing on its applications in signal detection, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. By harnessing machine learning algorithms and big data analytics, AI facilitates the automated analysis of real-world evidence, including patient outcomes data, adverse event reports, and electronic health records. Through pattern recognition and anomaly detection, AI algorithms enable the early identification of potential safety issues and facilitate timely interventions to mitigate risks. Moreover, AI-driven PMS systems enhance regulatory oversight by providing regulators with comprehensive and actionable insights into product safety profiles and emerging trends. However, concerns regarding data privacy, algorithm bias, and interpretability underscore the need for transparent and ethically responsible AI deployment in PMS frameworks.
Transport Tax Benefits: A New Ground for Discussion
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Politics and Management of the National Research University, Lyutova Olga I.
Published: August 2024

The article deals with the problem of legal regulation of obtaining a tax benefit for transport tax by various categories of taxpayers. The author provides a meaningful analysis of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the issues of benefits for taxpayers owning vehicles with an engine power of up to 120 horsepower. At the same time, the following circumstances are noted: firstly, the confirmation by the Court of the concept of "targeting" of tax benefits is noted, and, secondly, drawing attention to the high degree of conditionality of the division of criteria for granting tax benefits by the Transport tax Court into so-called "objective" and "subjective". As a conclusion, it is noted that there is a need for a more detailed justification by the Court of decisions on tax benefits, as well as the establishment of a list of such benefits in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, while at the same time allowing regions to choose one or another type of benefit for their establishment in the relevant territory.

Currently, esports has become an integral part of the sports industry. Despite the sometimes ambiguous attitude towards this sports field among researchers, the fact remains undeniable that every year it attracts an increasing number of athletes and spectators. Unfortunately, it can be stated that the legal regulation in this area lags far behind the development of esports, since the current legislation still contains too many "white spots". However, work is underway to improve the regulatory framework, including plans in the near future to outline the boundaries of the area that will be defined as esports. Within the framework of this article, the author presented his own position on this issue, as well as the corresponding argumentation.

Inheritance, Reference, and Innovation of Educational Technology Discipline in China
Authors: Li Long
Published: August 2024

As artificial intelligence, quantum techniques, and brain neuroscience advance, the educational ecosystem is poised for transformative shifts, triggering a revolution in education. Educational technology’s emphasis is no longer confined to leveraging information technology for educational reform alone; it now actively seeks to optimize and innovate the educational ecosystem, creating a sustainable and virtuous cycle of development. Educational technology will shift from technological care to humanistic care, forming a new “cultural view of educational technology” and entering the post educational technology era. The field of educational technology must move beyond a static mindset centered on information technology application and venture into the realm of an innovative educational ecology. During the construction of this new educational ecology, unique theoretical and practical innovation models should be introduced. It is through this proactive approach that the discipline of educational technology can genuinely demonstrate its value and contribute to the “big education discipline’s” establishment and growth. Currently, at present, attention should be paid to the practice of educational informatization. This entails meticulously summarizing novel insights and experiences in educational informationization and digital transformation, discerning underlying development patterns, and elevating them into innovative theories and methodologies. Special attention should be given to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, exploring the implications of big data models and generative artificial intelligence for education. Furthermore, there is a necessity to expand both the knowledge system and practical applications within the discipline of educational technology.

diluição do jornalismo na publicidade
Authors: Benetti Marcia
Published: August 2024

Este artigo discute o conteúdo de marca, também chamado de branded content, publieditorial ou publijornalismo. O conteúdo de marca é um gênero discursivo híbrido efetivamente comandado pelo discurso publicitário e regido por valores do marketing, mas que se esforça para ser lido como jornalístico. Por meio de uma análise discursiva, o texto evidencia como, nesse processo autofágico, o jornalismo vende seu maior capital simbólico – a credibilidade – e renuncia a sua integridade como enunciador. Também demonstra, por meio de exemplos dos jornais Estadão e Gaúcha ZH, que o conteúdo de marca utiliza estratégias discursivas do jornalismo e as destrói: esvazia o conceito de acontecimento, deteriora a crença na competência das fontes e corrói a importância da verdade. A partir do apagamento das fronteiras entre os discursos jornalístico e publicitário, constata-se que o jornalismo avança para sua própria diluição e insignificância.

The coypu is a South American rodent that was introduced to Europe more than a century ago and it has since then spread over a large area. It appeared in the north-western and northern part of Hungary only in recent years. The first coypu observation in the South Transdanubian region was in July 2023 near Bélavár on a side arm of the Drava River in the Danube-Drava National Park. During the autumn a coypu was spotted in the vicinity of Barcs, and the number of observations along the Drava River continued to increase during the winter. In two locations, adults with younglings were observed, which indicates that the coypu reproduce in that area. The coypu most likely arrived in the areas along the Drava in Somogy county with the large flood waves of 2023 coming from the north-west of the Drava watershed, and it can be expected to spread further along the watercourses and canals on both the Hungarian and Croatian sides.

Human activity related to the exploitation or protection of environmental elements requires the creation of forecasts of the consequences involved. Such forecasts are not possible without the construction of models of ecosystems and the processes occurring in them. One of the critical elements in modern forecasting of the dynamics of ecosystems is the modelling of their anthropogenic block. Our research aims to develop methods for assessing the anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems necessary for modelling their state and dynamics. In accordance with the goal, we set ourselves the following tasks: to determine the limits of anthropotolerance of plant species; to evaluate the hemeroby of plant groups by the methods of synphytoindication; to create models of mutual dependence between anthropogenic transformation and natural dynamics. To implement the tasks, we used standard geobotanical methods (creating a geobotanical description, classification of plant communities, and synphytoindication). Hemeroby of plant communities can be used as an indicator of the anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. To do this, we measure the boundaries of anthropotolerance of the plant species that make up these groupings. The range of anthropotolerance of individual plant species can be determined by the 12 most common types of human activity. The strength of their impact on ecosystems was determined by the induced changes in above-ground phytomass. The transition from anthropotolerance of individual species to hemeroby of plant communities was carried out according to the classical synphytoindication technique. We created an 18-point scale by assigning three points to each classic type of hemoroby. The use of the synphytoindication scale allows modelling of the interdependence between anthropogenic transformation and the measurable characteristics of the ecosystem. An inverse linear relationship with a probability of approximation of 0.2 and a correlation coefficient of 0.45 is an indicator of natural dynamics and the level of anthropogenic transformation. The correlation coefficient is 0.29 for ecosystems that are not suitable for economic use, and 0.85 for the rest.

After a four-year-long investigation, we present the finding of five bryozoan species in a eutrophic lake, situated in a natural floodplain of the Danube. Of the species found, three belong to the family Plumatellidae (Plumatella emarginata, P. fungosa and P. repens), one to the family Paludicellidae (Paludicella articulata), and one to the family Cristatellidae (Cristatella mucedo). Only C. mucedo was identified based on floatoblast appearance, while the identification of other species was based on colony fragments and dormant bodies. Scanning electron microscopy was applied to show the fine morphological structure of dormant bodies. In the present research, which covered a relatively small area, we discovered almost half of the bryozoan species listed for Croatia. Our results present the great diversity of Bryozoa in a floodplain system, indicating that water bodies such as Lake Sakadaš constitute a suitable habitat for bryozoan development, due to the favourable environmental conditions and the large amount and diversity of firm substrates in the water.

DEAF GAIN E A EDUCAÇÃO VISUAL EM UMA AULADE FILOSOFIA PARA SURDOS: EXPERIÊNCIASE PERSPECTIVAS A PARTIR DO CURTAANIMADO FAZENDEIRO
Authors: Rodrigues Rejane Lopes , Araújo Priscila Silva
Published: August 2024

Este relato de experiência parte da ideia de deaf gain, desenvolvida pelos Estudos Surdos, para pensar em estratégias  de educação visual no ambiente escolar. A partir da reformulação da surdez enquanto forma de diversidade sensorial e  cognitiva, buscamos refletir de que forma a educação escolar de pessoas surdas pode ser potencializada através do uso das  imagens em movimento. Afinal, sabemos que a “competência para ver” não é algo inato e pode ser aperfeiçoada através  do uso das tecnologias visuais. Para tanto, utilizamos a exibição do curta de animação Fazendeiro, do diretor espanhol Albert Mielgo, em uma aula de Filosofia do 1º ano do Ensino Médio do Colégio de Aplicação do Instituto Nacional de  Educação de Surdos – CAp/INES, para proporcionar uma vivência pedagógica centrada na linguagem cinematográfica e que também servisse de ponto de partida para a discussão de temas de grande relevância em nossa sociedade.

As práticas educacionais para o ensino de pessoas surdas, ao longo dos anos, vêm se consolidando no que se refere o  ensino de perspectiva bilíngue. Com objetivo de apresentar as práticas pedagógicas e os referenciais metodológicos  que norteiam o trabalho desenvolvido no setor de ensino fundamental, séries iniciais (SEF1), do Colégio de Aplicação  do Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (CAP - INES), esse artigo, apresenta relatos de práticas educacionais de  professores regentes, com o ensino que tem como base o trabalho por gêneros textuais.
O ATENDIMENTO EDUCACIONALESPECIALIZADO AEE AOS ESTUDANTES SURDOSCOM DEFICIÊNCIAS E/OU TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTROAUTISTA NO INES: A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA PROPOSTADE TRABALHO COLABORATIVA

O artigo reúne relatos de experiências de práticas pedagógicas realizadas no Atendimento Educacional Especializado - AEE do CAP-INES. Para estar em consonância com a legislação federal, se fez necessária uma reorganização da prática pedagógica: do trabalho de mediação para a construção de um trabalho colaborativo que tira a responsabilidade única da professora mediadora e passa a envolver: professoras do Atendimento Educacional Especializado, profissional cuidador e professor regente, num trabalho de cunho colaborativo entre os professores e profissionais que atuamdiretamente com os estudantes. Sendo assim, o texto inicial contextualiza a transição do trabalho de mediação escolar para o AEE, as experiências vivenciadas na sala de aula e todos os espaços do INES com um público diverso, com suas singularidades e especificidades, no qual o atendimento oferecido neste
Lutas na Educação Física Escolar

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as produções acadêmico-científicas sobre as lutas na Educação Física escolar. Metodologia: Para a pesquisa foram utilizadas as diretrizes do Estado da Arte, com o objetivo mapear e discutir certa produção acadêmica em determinado campo do conhecimento. As buscas foram realizadas e iniciadas em janeiro de 2019 por trabalhos publicados a partir do ano de 2009, disponíveis para download em revistas nacionais de Qualis B2 (no mínimo) da área da Educação Física. Resultados e discussão: Percebe-se que, dos 119 artigos científicos encontrados nas buscas, cerca de 8,5% (10 artigos) são especificamente relacionados ao ensino de lutas na escola. Há consensos entre os artigos analisados como a baixa produção sobre o tema, a tendência a menor participação feminina e as dificuldades de tratar o conteúdo nas aulas de Educação Física. Considerações Finais: Logo, 10 artigos que versam a respeito das lutas no contexto escolar, a maior produção é sobre lutas no geral, totalizando oito (08) trabalhos, um que trata da capoeira e o outro do judô. Sugere-se que outras pesquisas possam ser realizadas para ampliação das discussões sobre a temática, com o intuito de popularizar o ensino das lutas nas escolas brasileiras, principalmente, nas aulas de Educação Física, e superar o estigma que as lutas são sinônimos de brigas.
Velejar e observar: percepções sobre os serviços ecossistêmicos culturais de acordo com os participantes do projeto “Escolinha de Vela Rio São João” (RJ)

Em 2015, foi criado o projeto socioesportivo “Escolinha de Vela Rio São João”, com o objetivo de introduzir o esporte náutico como ferramenta educativa para crianças e adolescentes em risco social da região. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os serviços ecossistêmicos culturais do Rio São João na ótica dos integrantes do projeto social. O estudo se deu na sede do projeto por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os participantes, seguidas da análise das entrevistas. Os resultados mostraram que existe correlação positiva entre os serviços culturais ecossistêmicos estéticos e os de lazer e turismo. Entre os serviços estéticos, destacam-se a beleza cênica do pôr do sol, o visual do Morro de São João e a Ponte Quebrada; enquanto os de Herança Cultural, baseados no aprendizado associado aos rios, também se destacaram. A percepção dos (des)serviços culturais ecossistêmicos também apresentaram uma alta frequência entre os entrevistados, principalmente aqueles (des)serviços associados à poluição e periculosidade de alguns locais do Rio São João. Conclui-se que os serviços ecossistêmicos culturais relevantes para os participantes deste projeto social são aqueles ligados ao lazer, à estética, e aos aprendizados de herança cultural. Projetos sociais são criados com o objetivo de mudar a realidade de crianças, adolescentes e até de adultos em situação de vulnerabilidade social. Assim, a preservação do ambiente em que este projeto desempenha as suas atividades é crucial para cumprir sua função.
