Objectives:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of non-cultured, nontrypsinized dermabraded epidermal cell graft followed by narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy for stable vitiligo.

Material and Methods:

A hospital-based and prospective interventional study was carried out on 45 patients (18–65 years) of both genders after approval from the Ethics Committee. The donor site was dermabraded after applying mupirocin ointment, and the material obtained was spread over the dermabraded recipient site. NBUVB phototherapy was initiated 3 weeks after the procedure and given for 3 months. Photographs were taken before the procedure and at the end of 3rd month of phototherapy and assessed for extent, pattern, and color matching of repigmented area according to physician global assessment (PGA) score and patient satisfaction score (PSS). Dermoscopic improvement was also noted.

Results:

Forty-five patients were enrolled in the study, out of which 43 patients completed the study. According to the intention to treat analysis, results were calculated in all 45 patients. Good to excellent response (50–100% improvement) was seen in 46.7% of patients according to the PGA score and in 57.8% of patients according to PSS. Most patients achieved the same color match with their normal skin at the end of the follow-up (73.3%). The most common repigmentation pattern was diffuse (46.7%), both clinically and dermoscopically. Among the clinical types, vitiligo vulgaris showed the maximum good to excellent repigmentation (61.3% and 77.4% of patients with PGA scores and PSS, respectively). Adverse effects were erythema, infection, and post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation at the donor and recipient sites, whereas scarring was seen at the recipient site.

Conclusion:

It is a safe, simplified, cost-effective, and less time-consuming technique than earlier techniques and provides good to excellent repigmentation in a considerable proportion of participants.

Published: February 2025

В статье на материале сетевого фольклора исследуется реакция креативных пользователей Рунета на главное событие начала 2020-х гг.  — пандемию COVID-19. Объединенные стратегией противостояния глобальному бедствию и использующие свой традиционный инструментарий — смех и игру, — участники интернет-сообществ фиксируют организационные и бытовые обстоятельства пандемии (карантин и обусловленные им вынужденная домашняя изоляция, удаленная работа, специфические бытовые проблемы). В поле зрения автора статьи — креолизованные, т. е. сочетающие вербальный и визуальный коды формы и жанры: мем, комикс, демотиватор, фотожаба. Рассматривается также расцветший именно в период пандемии жанр сетевого косплея, представленный проектом «Изоизоляция», объединившим сотни тысяч энтузиастов. Сетевой карнавал не знает ограничений, подвергая шутовскому осмеянию, а нередко и глумлению врага — коронавирус, для победы над которым запретов не существует. Пропуская через смеховую и одновременно игровую оптику Сети переработанные в виртуальном иномирье впечатления реальных событий, сетевой фольклор представляет важнейшее документальное свидетельство повседневности периода пандемии.

This article, based on folklore from the Internet, examines the reactions of Runet users to the main event of the early 2020s — the COVID-19 pandemic. United by desire to confront a global disaster using the traditional tools of laughter and play, members of online communities recorded the organizational and everyday circumstances of the pandemic (quarantine, forced home isolation, remote work, specific everyday problems), relying on the phenomena of online folklore. The author examines crealized works, that is, forms and genres combining verbal and visual codes such as meme, comic book, “demotivator”, “fotozhaba” (photoshop contest). The genre of online cosplay, which flourished during the pandemic, is also considered, represented by the Isolation (Izoizolyatsiya) Project, which brought together hundreds of thousands of participants. The internet carnival knows no limits, subjecting the enemy — the coronavirus — to mockery and derision, on which there exist no prohibitions. Passing through the laughing and at the same time playful prism of the Internet, the impressions of real events processed in the virtual other-world, network folklore represent the most important documentary evidence of everyday life during the pandemic. By transmitting impressions of real events processed in this way, online folklore represents the most important documentary evidence of everyday life during the pandemic.
К вопросу о современном состоянии поверий и практик, связанных со сглазом и порчей в Сицилии
Authors: Фаис-Леутская О.Д.
Published: February 2025

В настоящей статье автор, преимущественно на материалах многолетних полевых исследований, пытается очертить абрис современного состояния поверий и практик, связанных с магическим воздействием (сглазом и порчей), в таком консервативном и сохраняющем архаичную культуру и магическое мышление регионе юга Италии, как Сицилия. В процессе исследования проводится сопоставление и сравнительный анализ привлекавших внимание ученых вплоть до 1970-х гг. достаточно хорошо известных древних элементов магической культуры и обнаруженных сегодня автором составляющих магической эмпирики; кроме того, ввиду исторического существования социально-маркированных культурных различий, связанных еще с недавней социальной стратификацией общества, автор отслеживает магические верования и практики в различных слоях сицилийского социума. В процессе исследования обнаруживается не только сохранение в Сицилии древних представлений и практик, связанных со сглазом и порчей, но и гомогенизация этих понятий, а также господство преимущественно локального комплекса мифов и ритуалов, отторгающего инновации и заимствования; подтверждается широта распространения среди населения веры в эти формы злокозненного воздействия, а также в возможность их предотвращения и «исцеления», равно как и в эффективность атрибутов защиты (жестов, вербальных формул, предметов) и акторов помощи (ведуний) «жертвам» воздействия.

In this article, the author outlines the current state of beliefs and practices relating to the evil eye and hexes in the conservative culture of Sicily, which often preserves archaic and magical thinking. She analyzes and compares the fairly well-known ancient elements of magical culture that have attracted scholars up to the 1970s as well as other components she herself has uncovered. In addition, the author tracks magical beliefs and practices in various strata of Sicilian society, since socially marked cultural differences mark the more recent stratification of society. The study reveals not only the preservation of ancient ideas and practices in Sicily that are related to the evil eye and hexes, but also the homogenization of these phenomena. It notes the dominance of a predominantly local complex of myths and rituals that reject innovation and borrowing and it confirms the widespread belief in these forms of malicious influence. It also takes note of the possibility of preventing and “healing” them, as well as the belief in the existence of protective means against them (gestures, verbal formulas, objects) and in those who may render assistance (witches) to their victims.

Authors: Habes Hasan , Björkqvist Kaj , Andreou Andreas
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to investigate ways to identify the challenges of integration of minority groups, such as migrants, ethnic/racial minorities, and refugees in Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia by using the Structured Democratic Dialogue (SDD) as a participatory methodology. This particular method was selected for this study with the purpose to bring all identified stakeholders in the society together to collaboratively and collectively identify and further discuss the challenges and obstacles they face. The Co-laboratory brought together twelve participants with a diverse socio-economical and educational background in Vasa, Finland. Based on the influence map generated by the participants as a result of the workshop, social inclusion was revealed to be one of the most important indicators hindering the integration of minority groups at the local level. In particular, silent acceptance of racism or racist comments were according to the participants the most influential factor preventing the successful integration of ethnic minorities in Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia.
Dynamics and Resilience for Design of Sustainable Processes, Industrial Networks and Supply Chains: Review and Perspective
Authors: Shekhar Abhimanyu , Farlessyost William , Singh Shweta
Published: February 2025

Engineers are increasingly faced with the question of sustainable design of processes, industrial networks and supply chains. Conventional steady-state methodologies prevalent for sustainability assessment are inadequate to address the dynamic complexities of multiscale systems with which this community deals. This review systematically examines the evolution of sustainability assessment frameworks, highlighting the limitations of static approaches in capturing the nonlinearity, feed- back loops, and temporal variability inherent across the multiple scales. We explore the transition to dynamic, data-driven methodologies, emphasizing the integration of hybrid mechanistic-machine learning models that bridge first-principles knowledge with data. Further, we highlight the importance of transdisciplinary concepts from ecological sciences such as non-linear dynamics and resilience to the design of industrial networks and supply chains. The perspective uncovers how these dynamic phenomena influence system stability, adaptability, and long-term sustainability by incorporating concepts such as time delays, hysteresis, and time-variant characteristics. We further examine stability landscapes and adaptive cycles to demonstrate how resilience thinking redefines process design and control strategies in the face of global uncertainties. The emergence of advanced computational tools, such as spatial-temporal deep learning architectures and adaptive process control strategies, is reshaping the sustainability of manufacturing supply chains. These innovations enable robust performance under dynamic conditions while aligning with circular economy objectives. By synthesizing resilience principles with dynamic sustainability assessments, this review establishes a transformative paradigm for chemical process network design, offering both theoretical insights and practical strategies to advance sustainability in chemical engineering practice and the future trajectory of research.
Fabricating the self-supported superstructure of bismuth nanoparticles by tuning the temperature
Authors: Singh Dinesh , Poddar Pankaj
Published: February 2025

The self-assembly (SA) of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) into superstructures provides a versatile and promising method for manipulating the nanometer-sized particles and exploiting their unique features. In pursuit of this objective, researchers have conceived, created, examined, and constructed microscopic entities of diverse intricacy with the intention of facilitating the assembly of desired phases. In this work, a simple method for fabricating a self-supported superstructure of bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) is presented, in which nanoparticles are thermally reshaped into self-assembly from pre-synthesized bismuth nanoparticles. Observations with scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that smaller nanoparticles self-assembled anisotropically, followed by nanosheets and nanorods. Further, the anisotropic growth of bismuth nanoparticles increases as the temperature rises due to ligand rearrangement.

Published: February 2025

Chirality plays a crucial role in the biological activity and pharmacological properties of molecules, often leading to significant differences in activity profiles, referred to as chirality cliffs or activity cliffs. To address this challenge, we introduce PyDescriptorC*, a novel Python-based script designed to calculate thousands of chirality-aware descriptors and other molecular descriptors using molecular 3D structures (total 112,194 molecular descriptors). PyDescriptorC* leverages multiprocessing, PyMOL integration, and compatibility with mol2 file formats, ensuring computational efficiency and broad applicability. The tool was rigorously tested on two structurally diverse datasets (HDAC4 and ADM17) for regression analysis, demonstrating exceptional performance in capturing chirality-driven insights and elucidating the molecular basis of chirality cliffs. These chirality descriptors provided a deeper understanding of activity patterns, significantly enhancing the predictive accuracy and interpretability of QSAR models. PyDescriptorC* has been validated across multiple operating systems, ensuring platform independence and user accessibility. This work highlights the potential of PyDescriptorC*, an extended version of PyDescriptor, to advance drug discovery and development by unlocking hidden chirality patterns and bridging the gap between structural data and predictive modelling. Its seamless integration of chirality-specific descriptors into QSAR workflows offers a powerful resource for cheminformatics, machine learning, and molecular design.
Asymmetric Electrochemical Alkenylation by Synergistic Chiral Primary Amine and Naphthalene Catalysis
Authors: Duan Yingdong , Chen Jianyuan , Cheng Liang , Luo Sanzhong
Published: February 2025

External tuning of enamine intermediate has significantly expanded reaction space of typical aminocatalysis. Notwithstanding the progress of chemo- and photo-oxidation of enamine intermediate, electro-oxidation was left as a much less explored area, in stark contrast to the prosperous renaissance of electrochemistry in recent years. Challenges mainly come from the reactivity barrier as a consequence of heterogeneous electron transfer, and subtle stereo-control in ionic electrolyte solution under the influence of electric field. Herein, we report asymmetric α-alkenylation of carbonyl compounds using potassium alkenyl trifluoroborate as a model reaction to demonstrate the capability of primary amine catalysis under electrochemical conditions. By employing enamine redox mediator mapping (e-RM2) strategy, a new organic mediator, dimethoxyl naphthalene, was found to greatly enhance reactivity. Mechanistic studies uncover an ion-pair interaction between protonated aminocata-lyst and anionic substrate that accounts for the exceptional enantioselectivity. This catalytic system demonstrates the best level of enantioselectivities in electro-oxidative enamine transformations so far.

Neocortex development is characterized by sequential phases of neural progenitor cell (NPC) expansion, neurogenesis, and gliogenesis. Polycomb-mediated epigenetic mechanisms are known to play important roles in regulating the lineage potential of NPCs during development. The composition of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is highly diverse in mammals and was hypothesized to contribute to context-specific regulation of cell fate. Here, we have performed a side-by-side comparison of the role of canonical PRC1.2/1.4 and non-canonical PRC1.3/1.5, all of which are expressed in the developing neocortex, in NSC proliferation and differentiation. We found that the deletion ofPcgf2/4in NSCs led to a strong reduction in proliferation and to altered lineage fate, both during the neurogenic and gliogenic phase, whereasPcgf3/5played a minor role. Mechanistically, genes encoding stem cell and neurogenic factors were bound by PRC1 and differentially expressed uponPcgf2/4deletion. Thus, rather than different PRC1 subcomplexes contributing to different phases of neural development, we found that canonical PRC1 played a more significant role in NSC regulation during proliferative, neurogenic, and gliogenic phases compared with non-canonical PRC1.

GRASP65 is a Golgi-associated peripheral protein encoded by theGORASP1gene and required for Golgi cisternal stacking in vitro. A key role of GRASP65 in the regulation of cell division has also been suggested. However, depletion of GRASP65 in mice has little effect on the Golgi structure and the gene has not been associated with any human phenotype to date. Here, we report the identification of the first human pathogenic variant ofGORASP1(c.1170_1171del; p.Asp390Glufs*18) in a patient combining a neurodevelopmental disorder with neurosensory, neuromuscular, and skeletal abnormalities. Functional analysis revealed that the variant leads to a total absence of GRASP65. The structure of the Golgi apparatus did not show fragmentation, but glycosylation anomalies such as hyposialylation were detected. Mitosis analyses revealed an excess of prometaphases and metaphases with polar chromosomes, suggesting a delay in the cell cycle. These phenotypes were recapitulated in RPE cells in which a similar mutation was introduced by CRISPR/Cas9. These results indicate that loss of GRASP65 in humans causes a novel Golgipathy associated with defects in glycosylation and mitotic progression.
Autobiographical Memory in Persons with Psycho-Emotional Disorders During the War
Authors: Nevoenna Olena , Zinchenko Yuliya
Published: February 2025

The article describes the results of autobiographical memory problem studying in the context of violations of the emotional sphere of an individual, namely in persons who have different levels of emotional stability during the full-scale war in Ukraine. The peculiarities of autobiographical memory were determined among three clusters of subjects: with high PTSD scores, elevated levels of depression, and without recorded disorders of the emotional sphere. According to the results of the empirical study, a significantly higher level of emotional coloring of the content of the recent past memories was recorded in subjects with high rates of PTSD and depression compared to subjects without disturbances of emotional stability. Persons with signs of post-traumatic stress disorder reproduce emotionally colored memories in the form of monosyllabic impersonal sentences, avoiding mental immersion in the details of events, while in persons with signs of depression, emotionally colored memories are accompanied by perceptual-image brightness of their content. Individuals with symptoms of PTSD and depression reproduce many emotions when recalling personal experiences, do not ignore personally significant negative and positive events of the past, but focus more on their own emotional experience. In general, in subjects with signs of emotional disorders, generalized, monosyllabic emotional memories prevail in number over perceptually colored ones and are characterized by the fragmentary nature of the content reproduced in them. Subjects without emotional disturbances tend to reproduce detailed and perceptually colored memories during arbitrary reproduction. Individuals without disorders of emotional stability also tend to accompany personal memories with their own reflections and figurative details. Emotionally colored memories are also presented among the subjects of this group, but in small numbers. The most negative memories of the stressful events of the war, which are also accompanied by the reproduction of a complete situation in the subjects without signs of emotional disorders, are distinguished by the emotional saturation of the content. In general, individuals in a state of emotional stability demonstrate acceptance of both positive and stressful life events, which is reflected in the mental coherence of the content of their memories and the integral structure of their autobiographical memory.
Self-Esteem in the Organization of Interpersolnal Interaction Among Youth qnd Adolescence Age People
Authors: Klymenko Maryna , Plokhikh Viktor
Published: February 2025

The issue of organizing interpersonal interaction in relation to the formation of self-esteem in youth and adolescence age people, especially those making life-defining decisions under the burdening conditions of a military conflict, is highly relevant. The aim of the study is to identify the characteristics of self-esteem in accordance with different types of interpersonal attachment in young adults. The sample consisted of 68 young adults. The following methods were used to obtain empirical data: S. Budassi’s method (for determining self-esteem), E. Chen’s method (for determining the type of interpersonal attachment), and H. Eysenck’s method (for identifying maladaptive psychological states). Results: No direct linear statistical relationships were found between the self-esteem and interpersonal attachment of the subjects. The relationship between self-esteem and attachment was determined using cluster analysis in two variants: by the parameter "self-esteem" and simultaneously by the parameters "secure attachment" and "insecure attachment." In both variants, with some differences, one group with high adequate self-esteem, low insecurity of attachment, and elevated secure attachment values was identified, and another group with opposite results was found. The groups significantly differed in terms of self-esteem (U = .00, p < .001 and U = 386.50, p = .036), insecure attachment (U = 297.00, p = .009 and U = 15.00, p < .001), and in one variant by secure attachment (U = 409.50, p = .261 and U = 266.50, p < .001). It was found that individuals in the group with high adequate self-esteem, compared to others, had lower expressions of maladaptive psychological states: anxiety (U = 345.00, p = .048 and U = 262.00, p < .001), frustration (U = 327.00, p = .027 and U = 295.50, p = .001), aggression (U = 365.00, p = .086 and U = 356.00, p = .013), and rigidity (U = 145.50, p < .001 and U = 269.50, p < .001). Conclusions: It has been established that high adequate self-esteem corresponds to a pronounced ability of the individual to organize constructive interaction with a secure type of interpersonal attachment and a low level of vulnerability to the destructive influences of the current situation. Lower self-esteem of the subjects is associated with increased vulnerability to destructive influences and insecure interpersonal attachment. Maladaptive psychological states in young adults are linked to lower self-esteem and increased insecurity of interpersonal attachment.

Authors: Su’a Taliah , Faa’toese Allamanda , Anglemyer Andrew , Maoate Kiki , Walls Tony
Published: February 2025

aim: To describe the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) cases in Canterbury, Aotearoa New Zealand, 2012–2022.
methods: Cases were identified through cross-matching public health notification data, hospitalisation discharge data and local Canterbury registry data. Cases were included if they were diagnosed with ARF or rheumatic heart disease (RHD) from January 2012 to December 2022 in the Canterbury Region and were under 30 years of age.
results: A total of 34 cases were included. Twenty-nine were diagnosed with their first episode of ARF and five were diagnosed with RHD without a previously identified episode of ARF. Overall rates of ARF were significantly lower in Canterbury than in the rest of New Zealand. Over half of the patients identified through the three datasets were excluded due to being diagnosed outside of the region.
conclusion: Case numbers of ARF and RHD diagnosed in Canterbury are low when compared with other regions in New Zealand. The
majority of patients receiving ongoing prophylactic treatment for ARF in the region have migrated to Canterbury from the North Island or the Pacific Region. To ensure this group of patients receive the healthcare they need, it is important that we have a highly robust national surveillance system.

Authors: Blamires Julie , Foster Mandie , McRae Wendy , Mooney Sarah
Published: February 2025

aim: Cough and airway secretions are part of daily life for people living with bronchiectasis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, infections associated with airway inflammation and cough amplified the health-related stigma and social unacceptability of coughing. This study explored the experiences and perceptions of adults with bronchiectasis during the pandemic to better understand the holistic impact of cough on their lives.
method: A qualitative, interpretive descriptive study was undertaken using semi-structured interviews with 15 adults living with bronchiectasis resident in Counties Manukau, Aotearoa New Zealand.
results: Insights into the lives of adults living with bronchiectasis during the pandemic highlighted how they were impacted on multiple levels. Four key themes were developed that described participants’ struggle: “feeling vulnerable but keeping safe”; “being treated differently”; adjusting to “becoming a virtual patient”; and participants articulating an increased focus on “self-care and supportive communities” as key strategies. Communication with health teams became crucial, offering essential support for respiratory health, medication access, reassurance and social connectivity.
conclusions: Health professionals play a key role in increasing public awareness around bronchiectasis and cough, helping to reduce stigma. While it is unknown when another disease outbreak mirroring that of COVID-19 will occur, the stigma of cough continues and warrants improved understanding.

Authors: Wagan Sh. M. , Sidra S.
Published: February 2025

Goal: This paper examines the effect of digital transformation on corporate risk-taking in Japanese firms and, more importantly, identifies links between digital technology integration and risk appetite. This study inspects how digital transformation impacts internal control quality, investment efficiency, and general financial soundness, with special emphasis on the differences between state-owned versus non-state-owned enterprises.

Methods: The empirical analysis uses the data of Nikkei Index firms from 2010 through 2023. Out of the total, excluding the financial and insurance sectors as well as aberrant statuses in trading, 225 firms resulted in 14,567 observations. The regression models controlled for a number of different factors, such as enterprise size, profitability, and industry type of firm.

Results: The empirical evidence based on the pooled sample implies that enhanced digital transformation significantly boosts the capability of corporate risktaking. Specifically, a comparison of the estimated coefficients obtained across the state-owned enterprises versus their non-state-owned counterparts shows a large difference in the magnitude for the latter. The increasing adoption of digital technologies heightens the propensity of those firms to invest in high-risk investments, hence improving their value at large.

Conclusions: The study contributes to an understanding of how digital transformation affects corporate behavior in terms of risk-taking. It underlines the need to develop digital initiatives that contribute to investment efficiency and financial stability. The findings imply that policymakers and business leaders should encourage strategies of digital transformation, especially for non-state-owned enterprises, to achieve economic growth through increased risk-taking ability.

Os movimentos negros e antirracistas sempre foram silenciados e oprimidos. Faz-se necessário trazer à tona essas questões para que a hegemonia da branquitude, que ainda ocupa os lugares de poder, não se utilize delas para criar, dentro da sociedade, invisibilidades e indiferenças. A publicidade é um meio de divulgação que se utiliza de aparatos convidativos a cada público; e, a problemática materializa-se quando determinados grupos são discriminados, tais como, crianças negras, mulheres negras e, de forma mais ampla, o povo negro. Djamila Ribeiro, referência nesta escrita, nos alerta sobre os problemas que impedem o acesso aos lugares de cidadania, que o racismo impõe. Analisa-se, através de revisões bibliográficas e de campanhas publicitarias, pretéritas e contemporâneas, como a sociedade brasileira se constituiu, sob forte influência do racismo. Descolonizar o pensamento está apenas em seu movimento inicial. Dessa forma, o texto reflete sobre o pensamento racista, predominante na sociedade brasileira, e o pensamento antirracista nos espaços intraescolares e extraescolares, possibilitando um exercício que nos permita compreender a importância do nosso papel na produção de uma sociedade antirracista. Contata-se que o racismo estrutural está arraigado na sociedade brasileira, o que torna urgente efetivarmos o funcionamento da Lei 11.645/08 nos espaços escolares, promovendo uma educação antirracista.

O presente estudo analisa como a temática mobilidade espacial está representada nos livros didáticos utilizados na educação básica Fundamental II da rede estadual de ensino do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, bem como apresenta possibilidades ao aperfeiçoamento do conteúdo na perspectiva do aprendizado considerando as particularidades do Pantanal sul-mato-grossense. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico, documental e de dados acerca da temática e do objeto de estudo. Os dados primários foram obtidos através de entrevista semiestruturada com professores da rede pública de ensino e acadêmicos do curso de Geografia UFMS/CPAQ, além da observação direta e análise descritiva da coleção didática. Os resultados apontam que a mobilidade espacial é abordada no livro didático com enfoque na geografia da população, geralmente na perspectiva da formação da população e configuração do território. Restringe-se a explicar processos migratórios, sendo observadas poucas menções às demais formas de mobilidade. O material não contempla as múltiplas dimensões do deslocamento humano em áreas singulares como no Pantanal Sul matogrossense, onde a problemática da mobilidade se impõe no espaço rural e áreas de baixa densidade mais impactadas pela sazonalidade climática que transcorre na privação de acesso a bens e serviços, agravando as desigualdades sociais que assumem uma natureza multidimensional.
AVALIAÇÃO DE DESEMPENHO DE MINI ABRIGOS METEOROLÓGICOS EM AMBIENTE SEMIÁRIDO

Published: February 2025

Paulatinamente, os abrigos de PVC estão substituindo os tradicionais abrigos de madeira em muitos estudos, especialmente em razão do baixo custo de produção e facilidade no transporte. Esta pesquisa objetivou justamente avaliar o desempenho de mini abrigos meteorológicos confeccionados em PVC e madeira, analisando a eficiência diurna e noturna de ambos, de forma comparativa, considerando o período seco em ambiente semiárido, ou seja, submetendo-os a condições de alta temperatura e baixa umidade. A fim de avaliar seu desempenho, foram realizadas aferições horárias de temperatura e umidade no período seco em Sobral-CE, inserida no semiárido nordestino, a partir de termohigrômetros calibrados, instalados em mini abrigos de madeira e PVC. Foram realizadas duas campanhas (em outubro de 2022 e novembro de 2022), para permitir uma revisão eficiente dos dados e contraprova. Após tabulação e análise dos dados, foi perceptível uma amplitude térmica e higrométrica significativa entre os abrigos, especialmente nos horários de maior radiação solar direta (entre 11:00h e 15:00h), o que permite não recomendar o uso do abrigo de PVC em localidades e períodos que apresentam temperaturas demasiadamente elevadas e baixa umidade, em virtude dos registros anormais que foram verificados, quando comparados aos registros do posto do INMET mais próximo.
DINÂMICA DA COBERTURA E USO DA TERRA DE ARACAJU – SERGIPE
Authors: Lima Émile , Larissa Monteiro Rafael
Published: February 2025

Estudos referentes à Cobertura e Uso da Terra (CUT) contribuem para melhor entendimento da relação ser humano-natureza. A partir deles é possível compreender processos econômicos, sociais e ambientais que auxiliam no planejamento de expansão de territórios, principalmente das cidades. Com isso, o presente trabalho objetivou analisar a dinâmica da CUT entre 1985-2021 em Aracaju – Sergipe. Para isso utilizou-se dados coletados do projeto Mapbiomas e processados no Excel, Google Earth Engine e QGis. Verificou-se a diminuição de 55,8% da classe Agropecuária em detrimento do crescimento de 100,64% da classe Área Não Vegetada, bem como o incremento de 48,59% da classe Floresta e redução de 26,13% da classe Corpo D’água. Concluiu-se que, a partir de 1985, a expansão urbana contribuiu para o aumento das Áreas Não Vegetadas em detrimento da Agropecuária. Essa conversão, contudo, concentra-se principalmente no setor Centro-Norte do município, apontando a necessidade de planejamento da expansão urbana para o setor Sul de Aracaju.
FORMAS DE RELEVO DE ORIGEM ANTRÓPICA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DA ZONA CENTRO-SUL NO SÍTIO URBANO DE MANAUS - AM

Published: February 2025

O uso e ocupação do espaço urbano é a concretização das relações socioeconômicas e ambientais que se estabelecem sobre diversos tipos de relevo. Ao mesmo tempo, contribui para o surgimento de relevos induzidos pela ação antrópica, como aterros, cortes, canalização e retificação de cursos d’água, voçorocas e taludes, que, muitas vezes, se tornam um ambiente com instabilidade morfodinâmica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e caracterizar a forma atual do relevo da cidade de Manaus, devido às alterações provocadas pela presença e intervenção humana sobre a morfologia e os igarapés do bairro Nossa Senhora das Graças, situado na Zona Centro Sul. A presente pesquisa foi fundamentada na proposta de Libault (1971), que apresenta quatro níveis de análise: o nível de compilação, o de comparativo, o de semântico e o nível de normatização. Foram identificadas duas formas de relevo que tiveram origem antrópica: a degradação (planalto aplanado, vertente aplanada, rampa antrópica e talude de escavação) e a agradação (aterro e terreno sedimentar acrescido). De acordo com a perspectiva do comportamento morfodinâmico, as formas de degradação são áreas consideradas de estabilidade intermediária e as formas de agradação são consideradas de instabilidade.

O presente estudo investiga os impactos ambientais ao longo do rio Espírito Santo em Coari, Amazonas, com foco na degradação causada por intervenções humanas. Foi empregada a metodologia da rede de interações e análise macroscópica de impactos ambientais para avaliar grau de preservação e qualidade ambiental em dois pontos no curso do rio. Os resultados revelaram um estado de conservação péssimo, decorrente da supressão da mata ciliar e ocupação desordenada das margens, juntamente com a presença de resíduos sólidos e lançamento de esgoto direto no rio. Propomos ações mitigadoras, como políticas de ordenamento territorial e conscientização da comunidade local. Este estudo ressalta a urgência de medidas para preservar a qualidade ambiental do rio Espírito Santo e garantir a sustentabilidade da região.
