Social Adaptability Skills Educational Session Within a Team Sport Context
Authors: Owiti Samuel , Hauw Denis
Published: February 2025

During their career, most professional players in team sports encounter club-to-club transfers (CCTs). Indeed, it is unusual for a player to remain with a single club throughout their professional career, making these transitions pivotal moments in elite sports environments. However, there is lack of knowledge as concerns the psychosocial skills involved when players encounter CCT challenges. The current study was concerned with integrating Social Adaptability Skills (SAS) simultaneously with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to assist athletes with overcoming CCT challenges. A linear mixed model analysis using the likelihood ratio test revealed significant improvements in SAS, p < 0.05. Furthermore, the main effect of period was significant F(2, 203.17) = 286.07, p < 0.001, indicating that the propensity to enact and deploy SAS varied across the measurement periods (pre-, post-, and retention-test). These findings suggest that ACT-based mindfulness interventions may play a crucial role in reinforcing athletes’ enactment of SAS in overcoming CCT challenges. Overall, the results confirm that the SAS educational intervention effectively equipped athletes with the necessary psychosocial attributes to navigate CCT challenges. This study provides a foundation for future research and practical applications, emphasizing the need for structured psychological support within talent development programs.
Authority and Resistance in the Vita Mathildis (Vat. Lat. 4922)
Authors: Apgar Blair
Published: February 2025

The popular perception of Matilda of Canossa (1046–1115) is one which is typically filtered through the events of the Investiture Controversy and the famed 1077 meeting at Canossa and is thus prismatically reflected through the legacy of two men, Emperor Henry IV (1050–1106) and Pope Gregory VII (1020–1085). Though not an atypical journey through time for any female figure of history, it is a historiographical transformation which has altogether subverted studies of Matilda’s agency and authority. This has obfuscated studies of Matilda’s own agency and authority, where her oft contentious attitude toward and relationship to the regnum has typically been classified as a side effect of her extreme devotion to the papacy, rather than its own effort. This paper will begin to unwind the evidence of Matilda’s personal rebellion from the king by examining the biography produced at the end of her lifetime, the Vita Mathildis (Vatican City, Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana, MS. Vat. Lat. 4922). The examination of both the text and illuminations of the manuscript makes clear that Matilda’s rejection of the regnum was not merely a side effect of lifelong loyalty to the papacy but was also part of a conscious rejection of imperial authority, evidence of which can be found through vigorous textual and visual analyses.

Published: February 2025

In the post-COVID era, international business and tourism are quickly recovering from the global lockdown, with people and products traveling faster at higher frequency. This boosts the economy while facilitating the spread of pathogens, causing waves of COVID aftershock with new variants like Omicron XBB. Hence, continuous disinfection of our living environments becomes our first priority. Autonomous disinfection robots provide an efficient solution to this issue. Compared to human cleaners, disinfection robots are able to operate tirelessly in harsh environments without increasing the risk of cross-infection. In this paper, we propose the design of a new generation of the Smart Cleaner disinfection robot, which is equipped with both an Ultraviolet-C (UVC) light tower and a hydrogen peroxide (HP) aerosol dispenser. The safety of an autonomous disinfection robot has been a persistent problem, especially when they work in complex environments. To tackle this problem, Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) reachability is adopted to construct a safety filter for motion control, which guarantees that the disinfection path taken by the robot is collision-free without severely compromising the optimality of control actions. The effectiveness of the developed robot has been demonstrated by conducting extensive experimental studies.
Detecting Excitations of Pipes, Ropes, and Bars Using Piezo Sensors and Collecting Information Remotely
Authors: Cirillo Matteo , Reali Enzo , Soda Giuseppe
Published: February 2025

An investigation of a non-invasive method to detect defects and localize excitations in metallic structures is presented. It is shown how signals generated by very sensitive piezo sensor assemblies, secured to the metallic elements, can allow for space localization of excitations and defects in the analyzed structures. The origin of the piezo excitations are acoustic modes generated by light percussive excitations whose strength is of the order of tenths of a newton and that provide piezo signal amplitudes of a few hundred millivolts. Tests of the detection scheme of the excitations are performed on steel ropes, iron pipes, and bars with lengths in the range of 1–6 m with the sensor output signal shaped in the form of a clean pulse. It is shown that the signals generated by the piezo assemblies, when adequately shaped, can feed the input of an RF transmitter, which in turn transfers information to a remote receiver whose readout allows for remotely analyzing information collected on the metallic elements. Considering the voltage amplitude of the signals (of the order of 300 mV) generated by the piezo sensors as a result of very light percussive excitations, the low power required for transmitting data, and the low cost of the sensing and transmitting assembly, it is conceivable that our devices could detect excitations generated even tens of kilometers away and allow for setting up an array of sensors for controlling in real time the status of pipe networks.

In recent years, simultaneous localization and mapping with the fusion of LiDAR and vision fusion has gained extensive attention in the field of autonomous navigation and environment sensing. However, its limitations in feature-scarce (low-texture, repetitive structure) environmental scenarios and dynamic environments have prompted researchers to investigate the use of combining LiDAR with other sensors, particularly the effective fusion with vision sensors. This technique has proven to be highly effective in handling a variety of situations by fusing deep learning with adaptive algorithms. LiDAR excels in complex environments, with its ability to acquire high-precision 3D spatial information, especially when dealing with complex and dynamic environments with high reliability. This paper analyzes the research status, including the main research results and findings, of the early single-sensor SLAM technology and the current stage of LiDAR and vision fusion SLAM. Specific solutions for current problems (complexity of data fusion, computational burden and real-time performance, multi-scenario data processing, etc.) are examined by categorizing and summarizing the body of the extant literature and, at the same time, discussing the trends and limitations of the current research by categorizing and summarizing the existing literature, as well as looks forward to the future research directions, including multi-sensor fusion, optimization of algorithms, improvement of real-time performance, and expansion of application scenarios. This review aims to provide guidelines and insights for the development of SLAM technology for LiDAR and vision fusion, with a view to providing a reference for further SLAM technology research.

Translation is a sine qua non process for life as we know it. Translation factors (TFs) and tRNAs are rare among viruses but are commonly found in giant viruses of the class Megaviricetes. In this study, we explored the diversity and distribution of tRNAs in giant viruses that were isolated and replicated in amoebae (phylum Amoebozoa), and investigated the evolutionary history of TFs to gain insights into their origins in these viruses. We analyzed the genomes of 77 isolated giant viruses, 52 of which contained at least 1 tRNA. In most of these viruses, tRNA sequences are dispersed throughout the genome, except in Tupanviruses and Yasmineviruses, where most tRNAs are clustered in specific genomic islands. The tRNAs in giant viruses often contain introns, with 73.1% of the genomes exhibiting at least one intronic region in these genes. Codon usage bias (CUB) analysis of various giant viruses revealed at least two distinct patterns of codon preferences among closely related viruses. We did not observe a clear correlation between the presence of tRNAs and CUB in giant viruses. Due to the limited size of these genes, we could not confidently investigate their phylogenetic relationships. However, phylogenetic analysis of TFs found in giant viruses often position these viruses as sister groups or embedded between different eukaryotic taxa with high statistical support. Overall, our findings reinforce the complexity of key components of the translation apparatus in different members of Nucleocytoviricota isolated from different regions of Earth.
Computational Approaches to Predict Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Protein Mutations That Confer Resistance to Capsid Assembly Modulators
Authors: Tolufashe Gideon , Viswanathan Usha , Kulp John , Guo Ju-Tao
Published: February 2025

Capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) are a novel class of antiviral agents in clinical development for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. CAMs inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by binding to a hydrophobic pocket, i.e., HAP pocket, between HBV capsid protein (Cp) dimer–dimer interfaces to misdirect its assembly into empty capsids or aberrant structures and designated as CAM-E and CAM-A, respectively. Because the emergence of CAM-resistant variants results in the failure of antiviral therapy, it is important to rationally design CAMs with a high barrier of resistance for development. To establish computational approaches for the prediction of Cp mutations that confer resistance to CAMs, we investigated the interaction of representative CAM-A and CAM-E compounds, BAY 41-4109 and JNJ-56136379, with wild-type and 35 naturally occurring mutations of Cp residues at the HAP pocket using molecular docking, prime molecular mechanics with generalized Born and surface area solvation (MM/GBSA) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods. Out of nine publicly available HBV capsid or CpY132A hexamer structures in the protein database, molecular docking correctly predicted the resistance and sensitivity of more than 50% Cp mutations to JNJ-56136379 with structures 5D7Y and 5T2P-FA. MM/GBSA correctly predicted the resistance and sensitivity of more than 50% Cp mutations to BAY41-4109 with the structures 5E0I-BC and 5WRE-FA, and to JNJ-56136379 with the 5E0I-FA structure. Our work indicates that only the capsid or CpY132A hexamer structure bound with a CAM with similar chemical scaffold can be used for more accurately predicting the resistance and sensitivity of Cp mutations to a CAM molecule under investigation by molecular docking and/or MM/GBSA methods.
Structural Capsidomics of Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
Authors: Mietzsch Mario , Bennett Antonette , McKenna Robert
Published: February 2025

Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses are a diverse group of pathogens with broad host range, including bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Their small compact genomes have evolved to encode multiple proteins. This review focuses on the structure and functional diversity of the icosahedral capsids across the ssDNA viruses. To date, X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy structural studies have provided detailed capsid architectures for 8 of the 35 ssDNA virus families, illustrating variations in assembly mechanisms, symmetry, and structural adaptations of the capsid. However, common features include the conserved jelly-roll motif of the capsid protein and strategies for genome packaging, also showing evolutionary convergence. The ever-increasing availability of genomic sequences of ssDNA viruses and predictive protein modeling programs, such as using AlphaFold, allows for the extension of structural insights to the less-characterized families. Therefore, this review is a comparative analysis of the icosahedral ssDNA virus families and how the capsid proteins are arranged with different tessellations to form icosahedral spheres. It summarizes the current knowledge, emphasizing gaps in the structural characterization of the ssDNA capsidome, and it underscores the importance of continued exploration to understand the molecular underpinnings of capsid function and evolution. These insights have implications for virology, molecular biology, and therapeutic applications.

Published: February 2025

Vaccination may represent a suitable strategy for preventing botulism. The recombinant expression of toxin functional domains can induce effective immune responses against botulism. This study aims to develop a safe and effective recombinant detoxified full-length BoNTA vaccine. In this study, we engineered and mutated the toxin activity-related sites on the basis of the full-length BoNTA protein and constructed three detoxified full-length toxin mutants. They were recombinant expressed and purified in Escherichia coli, and the BoNTA/M4 mutant was determined to have the highest safety, with a murine lethal dose of 50% (MLD50). The M4 protein was used as the antigen for three immunizations, and the serum titers, neutralizing activity, and BoNTA protective effects of immunized mice were evaluated. The results show that, in comparison to the receptor-binding domain BoNTA/Hc protein, the full-length detoxified mutant M4 protein exhibited superior immunogenicity and could induce higher levels of specific antibodies, and the resulting immune serum could effectively protect mice against higher doses of BoNTA challenge. This study laid the foundation for research on a novel recombinant detoxified full-length botulinum toxin vaccine.

Published: February 2025

This study presents the effectiveness of two vertical subsurface flow (VF) constructed wetlands (CWs), one planted with Juncus effusus (PCW) and the other unplanted (CCW), for the remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD) from the Ouixane abandoned mine site located in Morocco. The VFs were fed with highly acidic AMD (pH < 2.5) and were evaluated over a period of 150 days. The substrate was composed of limestone, as a neutralizing agent, river gravel, and natural peat moss, with the goal of promoting the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and metals precipitation. The results showed that both VFs successfully neutralized the acidity, with effluent pH values ranging from 3.57 to 8.5, indicating effective alkalinization of the AMD. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the metal removal rates of the CCW and the PCW, except for Mn. Both types of constructed wetlands (CWs), the planted system (PCW) and the unplanted system (CCW), exhibited similar efficiencies in metal removal from the influent. The rates of metalloid removal were as follows: 99.9% vs. 99% for Cr, 99% vs. 80% for As, 96% vs. 94 for Zn, 99.94% vs. 99% for Fe, and 90% vs. 81% for Al. Microbial sulfate reduction was increased from 43% to 50% by the presence of plants. Sediment analysis revealed that metals were primarily in stable forms: Fe and Zn were mostly associated with Fe-Mn oxides, while Mn and Ni were predominantly present as carbonates. These observations indicate a relative stability of metals in the CWs’ sediment. This study highlights the effectiveness of the studied CWs, particularly those with vegetation, for AMD remediation, emphasizing the importance of neutralizing agents, plants, and organic substrates in the treatment process.

Legionella colonization of water systems represents a potential hazard for humans within healthcare facilities. It is possible to contain its spread through continuous disinfection systems and the correct management and maintenance of the systems. The hygienic and sanitary quality of the water cannot be ignored in an evaluation of the management and energy costs. The Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome has installed the “ME.SI. MR ACS” (MEthod of SavIngs Maximum eneRgy for hot water) device, which allows the system to activate, when necessary, avoiding continuous water recirculation. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the health and hygiene quality of the hospital water network and to evaluate the thermal and electrical energy savings and chlorine dioxide consumption, with and without this device in operation. This study involved three phases of microbiological sampling in the facility under study: ME.SI. MR ACS device installed but not running, with the boilers’ setpoint temperature at 60 °C; device running with the boilers’ setpoint temperature at 60 °C; and device in operation with the boilers’ setpoint temperature at 45 °C. The microbiological analyses were carried out in accordance with the ISO standard. The data show a constant absence of Legionella spp. in all samples. The application of ME.SI. MR ACS on the hot water recirculation circuit leads to a reduction in the daily consumption of electrical and thermal energy of 68.6% and 48.6%, respectively, for a savings of approximately EUR 23,000/year per circuit. Furthermore, with the device in operation, there is a 50% reduction in the chlorine dioxide consumption with a savings of EUR 11,500/year. ME.SI. MR ACS guarantees thermal and electrical energy savings associated with a reduction in chlorine dioxide consumption, maintaining the hygienic and sanitary quality of the water network.
A Study of the Scale Dependency and Anisotropy of the Permeability of Fractured Rock Masses
Authors: Qian Honglue , Li Yanyan
Published: February 2025

Affected by discontinuities, the hydraulic properties of rock masses are characterized by significant scale dependency and anisotropy. Sampling a rock mass at any scale smaller than the representative elementary volume (REV) size may result in incorrect characterization and property upscaling. Here, a three-dimensional discrete fracture network (DFN) model was built using the joint data obtained from a dam site in southwest China. A total of 504 two-dimensional sub-models with sizes ranging from 1 m × 1 m to 42 m × 42 m were extracted from the DFN model and then used as geometric models for equivalent permeability tensor calculations. A series of steady-state seepage numerical simulations were conducted for these models using the finite element method. We propose a new method for estimating the REV size of fractured rock masses based on permeability. This method provides a reliable estimate of the REV size by analyzing the tensor characteristic of the directional permeability, as well as its constant characteristic beyond the REV size. We find that the hydraulic REV sizes in different directions vary from 6 to 36 m, with the maximum size aligning with the average orientation of joint sets and the minimum along the angle bisector of intersecting joints. Additionally, the REV size is negatively correlated with the average trace length of the two intersecting joint sets. We find that the geometric REV size, determined by the joint connectivity and density, falls into the range of the hydraulic REV size. The findings could provide guidance for determining the threshold values of numerical rock mass models.

Published: February 2025

The most widespread in Aronia aronia was obtained in Russia in territories with a cold and humid climate and on relatively fertile soils of Siberia and The Urals, especially in Altai and even in the Arctic. In Siberia, berry crops have a number of advantages over fruit crops. They are less demanding to adverse
conditions, their berries are richer in vitamins, mineral salts and organic
acids. The average yield of the bush is from 10 to 17 kg of berries. Anthocyanin
is the most common natural pigment that is highly soluble in water and gives vegetable products a color from red to purple, and is beneficial to human health. Anthocyanins are flavonoid compounds that belong to the category of polyphenols. They are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature and pH.
In nature, anthocyanins occur as glycosides and their aglycones (non-saccharide
parts) are known as anthocyanidins. In mountain ash, 25% of all polyphenols are anthocyanins. This article discusses all currently known technologies for the complex processing of mountain ash and their effect on the yield of juice and natural anthocyanin dyes.

Authors: Herawan Fredi , Setiafindari Widya
Published: February 2025

The development of many companies in Indonesia requires good and disciplined management, particularly in inventory control. PT XYZ has experienced inefficiency and ineffectiveness due to inventory buildup. The problems stem from employees performing double jobs, leading to production delays and increased storage costs, which have caused the company to incur losses. This research analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of two inventory control methods, kanban and junbiki, aiming to determine which method is more effective in minimizing inventory control issues. The kanban production system involves creating the necessary kanban cards, calculating the number of kanbans required, planning an efficient kanban flow, and providing supporting facilities for the system. There are two commonly used types of kanban: withdrawal kanban and production order kanban. The junbiki method (JIT) is a production system designed to meet customer needs on time and in the desired quantity. The just in time (JIT) production system is implemented to avoid overproduction. Based on the kanban method calculations, the required number of kanban is two workers, whereas the junbiki method calculations require three workers. The comparison results show that the kanban method reduces labor by one worker or 50%, and reduces the area size by 574 mÂ² or 88%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the kanban method is more effective and efficient than junbiki, as it occupies a smaller area of 4357.1 mÂ², thus saving work process time, labor, and costs incurred.

Authors:   Education Research Institute, Nam Hyeon-Jeong , Chun Jaesun
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teacher's question types that appear in the GED elementary science competency-based gifted education program and suggest implications for the development of data for gifted elementary science education. For this purpose, three experts used a tool that was modified the Textbook Question Strategy Assessment Instrument(TQSAI) to analyze the teacher's questions into question types according to the cognitive stage and questions that induce the inquiry process. Among the cognitive-level questions, the sum of the frequency of the low-level rhetorical and directly information-seeking questions accounted for 66.28%, while the frequency of the high-level focal, open-ended, and evaluative questions accounted for 33.71%. Since high-level questions promote students' thinking, determine direction, and facilitate communication, it is necessary to increase their frequency. Among the questions that induce the scientific inquiry process, including observation, communication, comparison, construction, experimentation, prediction, and application, the frequency of the lowest-level questions that induce observation accounted for 39.24%. Therefore, increasing the type of question at the high level will lead to a gifted education program that can increase the scientific competencies of learners such as scientific inquiry ability and creative problem solving ability.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the effects of middle school students' stress, parent-child communication, and motivations for SNS use on SNS addiction. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, hierarchical regression, and mediation analysis were conducted. Results showed that, after controlling for SNS usage patterns, lower parent-child communication and higher motivations for SNS use were associated with a greater tendency toward SNS addiction. Additionally, while stress influenced SNS addiction through parent-child communication as a mediator, sequential mediation effects were not confirmed. These findings provide a foundation for developing targeted intervention programs and integrated strategies to prevent SNS addiction. This study aims to promote a healthy digital media culture and support adolescents' psychological and emotional well-being.
Comparison of Application of Home-use Mechanical Ventilator and Facility-use Mechanical Ventilator for Early Discharge of Patient from Intensive Care Units
Authors: Won Sun Young , Yi Young Hee
Published: February 2025

Purpose : This study aimed to identify and compare the effects of home-use mechanical ventilator (MV) and facility-use mechanical ventilator on early discharge from the intensive care units (ICUs). Methods : This retrospective study used data from the electronic medical records of 290 patients who underwent MV in the ICU of a tertiary general hospital in Seoul. Results : Significant differences were observed in the length of ICU stay, total number of days of MV application, and length of hospital stay. The length of ICU stay was 30.00±28.14 days in the home-use MV group and 23.74±18.24 days in the facility-use MV group for facility-use (t=2.25, p=.026). The total number of days of MV application in ICU was 24.44±21.86 days in the home-use MV group and 19.35±14.25 days in the facility-use MV group (t=2.35, p=.020). The length of hospital stay was 101.88± 141.81 days in the home-use MV group and 74.24±71.38 days in the facility-use MV group (t=2.10, p=.037). The readmission rates within 72 hours of discharge from the ICU were 2.1% and 2.1%, respectively. Conclusion : A facility-use ventilator shortens the length of ICU stay and the total number of days of MV application in the ICU compared with a home-use mechanical ventilator, and it can be safely used for early discharge of patients from the ICU.
A Qualitative Content Analysis of the Light Sedation Experiences of Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Kang Jiyeon , Jo You Ran
Published: February 2025

Purpose : This study aimed to explore the essence and meaning of light sedation for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods : Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 patients receiving light sedation therapy in the cardiac ICU of a university hospital in South Korea. The content of the interviews was analyzed using Elo and Kyngäs’s inductive content analysis method. Data collection and analysis were performed iteratively to enable a continuous comparative analysis. Results : The main category derived from the analysis was the “coexistence of partial consciousness and discomfort.” Three general categories were identified: (1) the state of being neither asleep nor awake, (2) persistent discomfort, and (3) ambivalence toward consciousness. The subcategories included a fragmented memory, disorientation, surreal experiences, brain fog, half-heard noises, physical discomfort, mental distress, preference for sleep, and preference for being awake. Conclusion : Patients in the ICU under light sedation experienced an incomplete state of consciousness while experiencing various types of discomfort. Nurses should understand the patients’ subjective experiences with light sedation to provide patient-centered care. Based on these findings, further research is required to develop and apply nursing interventions for patients under light sedation.

Purpose : This study examined the effects of a multimodal intervention (earplugs, eye patches, and aromatherapy) on sleep quality and duration in intensive care unit(ICU)patients and the feasibility of the intervention to address sleep disturbances. Methods : This experimental study comprised a nonequivalent control group and non-synchronized design. The participants included 50 adult patients admitted to the ICU with an internal medicine diagnosis who did not receive postoperative care. The intervention was conducted on a random day from 10 pm to 5 am the following morning. Subjective sleep quality was measured using the Korean version of the Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and objective sleep duration was recorded using a smartwatch (Galaxy Watch 5; Samsung Electronics). Data were collected from September 2023 to March 2024 and analyzed using a t-test, χ2 test, Fisher’s exact test, and analysis of covariance. Results : The multimodal intervention significantly improved the subjective andobjective measures of sleep quality. The experimental group had higher scores on sleep depth, falling asleep, sleeping without awakening, returning to sleep, and overall sleep quality. Objective measures revealed longer total sleep time, actual sleep time, light sleep, and deep sleep in the experimental group, with no differences in rapid eye movement sleep, sleep efficiency, or ratio of awakening. Conclusion : The multimodal sleep intervention effectively improved patients’ sleep quality and duration, demonstrating the feasibility of using multimodal interventions to improve sleep quality in clinical settings.

Populasi pari di Indonesia terancam mengalami kepunahan. Kegiatan konservasi terkait dengan upaya penyelamatan spesies hewan laut yang hampir punah, namun juga terkait dengan masalah lingkungan secara global. Sampai saat ini masih belum ada regulasi dari pemerintah Indonesia yang secara spesifik memberikan perlindungan terhadap kelestarian ikan pari di perairan laut Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membahas regulasi yang memberikan perlindungan hukum terhadap ikan pari dari aktivitas perburuan illegal dan terdapat dua upaya yang dapat dilakukan oleh pemerintah yakni upaya represif dan upaya preventif. Litbang KKP dalam 10 tahun terakhir penurunan jumlah pari manta bisa mencapai 30%. Hasil penelitian ini bahwa keuntungan ekonomi yang diperoleh dari hasil penangkapan pari selama ini lebih banyak dinikmati oleh para pemilik kapal dan pengumpul/pedangang sirip. Status konservasi ikan pari di alam berdasarkan data IUCN (2015) dari 156 spesies ikan pari, 10 spesies kategori endengered, 3 spesies kategori critically endangered, 21 spesies termasuk near threatened, 27 spesies vulnerable, 33 spesies least concern dan yang paling banyak 62 spesies kategori data deficient. Rekomendasi untuk tindakan upaya represif yaitu dilakukan melalui penegakan hukum dengan memberi sanksi. Upaya preventif dilakukan dengan cara membuat wilayah konservasi pari melalui edukasi dan penyadaran bagi masyarakat.

Corrupção e Interpretação
Authors: Dias Walison
Published: February 2025

Este artigo busca refletir os aspectos hermenêuticos bíblicos na atualidade, fazendo uma relação com os problemas sociais e como estes são fomento para muitas interpretações desprovidas de valores teológicos, científicos, literários, históricos e antropológicos. Objetiva-se com isso compreender como ocorre a corrupção hermenêutica bíblica na contemporaneidade, partindo do seguinte problema: Qual o papel dos textos bíblicos na interpretação hermenêutica contemporânea? Busca-se caracterizar metodologicamente como um estudo bibliográfico, considerando as seguintes técnicas de coleta: levantamento preliminar das fontes, formulação do problema, identificação das fontes, fichamentos, organização e construção lógica do trabalho e a redação final. Este artigo se divide em torno de três eixos fundamentais: O primeiro, uma discussão de conceito, abordando a definição de hermenêutica e o fazer hermenêutico; o segundo, a reflexão do conceito e o discurso, como ele está atrelado às questões de interpretação, perpassando, por fim, a linguagem e a compreensão do termo “teologia bíblica”. Considerou-se como fontes de investigação basilares os estudos de ARENS (2007), BRITO, R. E. G. et al. (2016) e GOTTWALD, N. (1988) em torno da narrativa, texto e da hermenêutica bíblica. O estudo aponta para a possibilidade de que a corrupção hermenêutica é resultado do ato deliberado e consciente ao interpretar os textos bíblicos desconsiderando os esforços teológicos, históricos, hermenêuticos e arqueológicos no qual contribuem para a manutenção de toda uma cultura religiosa ao longo do processo evolutivo da religião. Conclui-se que a hermenêutica bíblica consciente busca levar em conta o todo do texto, suas entrelinhas, discursos, seu público e cultura, tendo em vista que os textos respondem a um contexto passado e a problemas reais de uma sociedade que em nada aponta para o século XXI. Isso não anula sua sacralidade, mas a situa em um tempo concreto, de pessoas reais com problemas específicos, de forma que seja possível tomar o texto a partir de seu contexto para que se possa alcançar o sentido mais sublime que o autor quisera empregar ao escrever.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o papel central dos ancestrais nas religiões de matriz africana, destacando a importância cultural, espiritual e identitária dessa relação ancestral. Através de uma revisão bibliográfica, exploramos as crenças, práticas e rituais relacionados aos ancestrais, assim como suas funções de proteção, orientação espiritual e aconselhamento. A valorização dos ancestrais e a compreensão de seu papel nas religiões de matriz africana são aspectos essenciais para a construção da identidade africana e a preservação da herança cultural. Além disso, o estudo sobre esse tema contribui para a valorização da diversidade cultural e o reconhecimento da importância da história africana. A revisão bibliográfica revelou que nas religiões de matriz africana, os ancestrais desempenham um papel central como mediadores entre os vivos e o divino. Eles oferecem proteção, orientação espiritual e aconselhamento, fortalecendo os laços entre as gerações e promovendo um senso de pertencimento e identidade cultural. Os rituais e práticas relacionados aos ancestrais, como oferendas, libações, invocações, ancestralização e cultos aos mortos, desempenham um papel fundamental na construção e manutenção da identidade africana. Essas práticas fortalecem os laços entre as gerações, preservam a memória coletiva, promovem a coesão comunitária e empoderam os indivíduos, inspirando-os a enfrentar desafios e a construir um futuro vibrante. A valorização dos ancestrais nas religiões de matriz africana desempenha um papel fundamental na construção e manutenção da identidade africana. Ao honrar, respeitar e valorizar os antepassados, as comunidades afrodescendentes estabelecem uma conexão vital com suas raízes históricas e culturais, fortalecendo sua identidade e sentido de pertencimento.
Relato de prática do projeto “Letramento Racial para identificação de territórios aquilombados capixaba”
Authors: De Souza Moraes Onildo
Published: February 2025

Apresenta-se um relato de um projeto realizado, em 2023, sobre o componente curricular de História das Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas, intitulado: Letramento racial para identificação de territórios aquilombados capixaba. O público-alvo foi constituído por estudantes das séries iniciais do Ensino Médio. As práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas basearam-se em metodologias afrocentradas no protagonismo negro ressignificadas à luz da perspectiva decolonial. Objetivou-se conhecer e identificar um território construído a partir do protagonismo e resistência histórica negra no Espírito Santo. Depreende-se a necessidade de desmitificar tais saberes nas práticas escolares, através da instrução e contribuição da população negro-africana na formação brasileira. O desenvolvimento de políticas públicas educacionais direcionadas à democratização do ensino permite a criação de componentes formativos em relação ao conhecimento dos estudantes sobre a história e a cultura da população negra, com base na equidade racial, o que pode tornar o currículo mais inclusivo e um instrumento de enfrentamento do racismo nas escolas.
