Authors: Reis Ricardo Arizono dos , Celestino Flávio Neves , Alves Jucélia Rodrigues , Rolim Aline Aparecida Martins , Pires Simone da Fonseca
Published: May 2024

Os fungos promotores de crescimento apresentam potencial para serem utilizados na produção de mudas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar crescimento vegetativo de mudas de café arábica inoculadas com os fungos Trichoderma harzianum e Beauveria bassiana, e determinar o tempo de imersão das sementes na suspensão dos conídios. As sementes foram imergidas na suspensão de conídios (1 x 107 conídios.mL-1) por 0h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h e 96h, constituindo um arranjo fatorial 3 x 6 em blocos casualizados. Foram avaliados: altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, número de pares de folhas, área foliar, comprimento de raiz, massa fresca e seca. O fungo B. bassiana promoveu maior altura de plantas nos tempos 0h, 6h e 96h e maior número de pares de folhas nos tempos de 6h e 96h. O fungo T. harzianum promoveu menor comprimento de raiz e ao fungo B. bassiana no tempo 6h, e em 96h. O fungo T. harzianum promoveu maior diâmetro do colo das mudas nos tempos 12h, 48h e 96h. O fungo B. bassiana promoveu maior massa fresca de parte aérea comparado ao fungo T. harzianum. Não houve diferença significativa entre os demais parâmetros. O tempo de imersão das sementes por 65h promoveu maior área foliar e não há relação com os fungos promotores de crescimento. Deve-se ampliar as pesquisas com os fungos B. bassiana e T. harzianum, uma vez que, há indícios de ganhos em determinados parâmetros de crescimento vegetativo, como altura de planta e diâmetro do colo. O tempo de imersão não é um fator determinante no crescimento vegetativo das mudas de café arábica, na presença dos fungos B. bassiana e T. harzianum.

Authors: Santos Nielva Juliana Cezar dos , Gomes Junior Raimundo Nonato
Published: May 2024

A alface é uma hortaliça folhosa cultivada tradicionalmente por agricultores familiares que empregam em seu cultivo técnicas sustentáveis, como uso de soluções alternativas para adubação, buscando recursos disponíveis nas propriedades, como a urina de vaca na adubação nitrogenada. O aproveitamento de materiais é fundamental para promover a sustentabilidade da agricultura e a conservação do ambiente, reduzindo as perdas de nutrientes e otimizando o seu aproveitamento. O cultivo de plantas em estufas pode proporcionar aumento na sua produção e produtividade, à vista do ambiente controlar melhor os fatores climáticos. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho produtivo das variedades de alface (Maravilha, Romana, Romana branca, Regina e Regina de verão), submetidas a aplicação da urina de vaca via solo em ambiente protegido. Foram avaliadas as variáveis o número de folhas (NF), altura de plantas (AP), diâmetro médio (DM); massa verde da parte aérea, massa seca da parte aérea, massa verde da raiz e a massa seca da raiz. A urina de vaca proporcionou melhores resultados para todas as variedades analisadas, sendo a Regina, com melhor desempenho para NF e DM e a variedade Romana branca com melhor resultado para as demais variáveis. A urina de vaca, como fertilizante natural, aplicada via solo, é uma alternativa para aumentar o desenvolvimento e crescimento da alface.
Effect of Hydrothermal, Chemical, and Mechanical Degradation on Flexural Strength and Phase Transformation of Ground, Glazed, and Polished Zirconia

Objectives: Evaluation of the effect of grinding on flexural strength of zirconia after low temperature degradation (LTD) and pH-cycling.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-four bar-shaped specimens of yttria-stabilized tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia were milled, sintered, wet-polished, and divided into 8 groups (N=8). The four control groups were not aged while artificial aging was performed in the 4 experimental groups in three steps including  LTD in steam for 40h, pH-cycling, and tooth brushing for artificial aging. All groups underwent surface preparations as follows: standard polishing without surface treatment (Sp), grinding with a blue-yellow band diamond instrument (Gr); grinding with a diamond rotary instrument (DRI) and then over-glazing (Gl); grinding with a DRI followed by two-step intraoral polishing (Po); standard polishing and aging (Sp-Ag); grinding and aging (Gr-Ag), grinding, over-glazing and aging (Gl-Ag); and grinding, polishing and aging (Po-Ag). Monoclinic content was assessed in one specimen of each group by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The 3-point flexural strength test was performed in a universal testing machine. The results were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05).
Results: Mean flexural strength (Mpa) was significantly higher in groups Gr and Po compared to group Sp (both, P<0.0001) and group Gl (both, P<0.0001). In XRD analyses, the highest monoclinic phase before aging was observed in group Gr (12.6%), and after aging in group Gr-Ag (51.2%).
Conclusion: Grinding and polishing increased the flexural strength, while glazing did not exhibit any significant effect on this parameter.  Furthermore, aging did not adversely affect flexural strength.
From Dictatorship to Democracy
Authors: Avella Ricardo
Published: May 2024

In December 1961, Venezuela signed a technical cooperation agreement with the State of Israel in the context of its agrarian reform. As a result, a group of Israeli experts provided assistance for several years in a series of regional projects and in building local expertise in rural development. Their involvement helped Venezuela’s agrarian reform quickly gain momentum; however, it would be a mistake to believe that this achievement was solely due to the Israeli contribution. By highlighting the differences and continuities in some official policies concerning rural development in Venezuela before and after the passing of the Agrarian Reform Law of 1960, this paper will demonstrate that while Venezuelan democracy wanted to make a clean break from the past and promoted important structural changes that provided a greater degree of spatial and social justice in the countryside, there were also many continuity elements involving previous rural development policies. The technical expertise that made the agrarian reform possible, as well as the set of ideas and ideals that propelled its implementation, were built in part on a succession of previous experiences that paved the way for what was to come.
Justicia Espacial
Authors: Capra-Ribeiro Fabio
Published: May 2024

La justicia espacial es un concepto relativamente reciente cuyos inicios suelen asociarse a David Harvey y Edward Soja. Gran parte de la bibliografía sobre el tema se enfoca en la comprensión de problemas asociados a la justicia social, pero no podemos olvidar los desafíos medio ambientales que son igualmente importantes en esta discusión. De esta forma, la justicia espacial conecta la dimensión espacial a temas de justicia social y ambiental, haciéndolos inseparables (Brown et al., 2007, p. 27). Más recientemente, la justicia ambiental ha evolucionado para incluir a otras especies, no solo los humanos, dando lugar a la llamada justicia ambiental multiespecie.

A Review of the Tribe Vernonieae (Asteraceae) in South India
Authors: Rau M. A. , Narayana B. M.
Published: May 2024

The tribe Vernonieae of the Asteraceae with about 70 genera and 1500 species has two main centres of distribution in tropical America and tropical Africa. It is also fairly well represented in south-east Asia. 37 genera are monotypie. In South India about 50 species belonging to 5 genera have been recorded. This review makes a current assessment of the systematic status of the tribe from various points of view, morphology-anatomy, cytology, chemical constituents, geographical distribution, based on a recent study of the tribe by one of the authors. It has been shown that some of the morphological-anatomical attributes like, trichomes, stomata, pappus, inflorescence, cytological situation as revealed by a karyomorphological analysis, chemical constitutes like flavonoid compounds and geographical distributional features, may all be of value in the assessment of the systematic status of the taxa concerned. Some nomenclatural aspects have also been discussed.

EFEITOS DE SENTIDO SOBRE O SUJEITO-IMIGRANTE EM POLÍTICAS DE ACESSO E PERMANÊNCIA NA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DA FRONTEIRA SUL
Authors: Capitanio Alâna , Kohler Irene Cristina , Da Rosa Marluza
Published: May 2024

Neste trabalho, analisamos efeitos de sentido sobre os modos de subjetivação de sujeitos-imigrantes que emergem de um edital de processo seletivo especial para provimento de vagas suplementares para atender ao Programa de Acesso e Permanência a Estudantes Imigrantes - Pró-Imigrante, da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul. O programa Pró-imigrante foi aprovado e instituído no ano de 2019, por meio da Resolução nº 16/CONSUNI/UFFS/2019, e atende estudantes imigrantes de todas as nacionalidades. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de sequências discursivas recortadas a partir dos critérios de avaliação da carta de intenções, a qual integra o edital do processo de seleção. Tomamos para a análise o discurso institucional sobre o imigrante, a partir da perspectiva teórico-metodológica discursiva, conforme os estudos de Foucault (2008a, 2008b, 2014), Coracini (2007, 2010) e Da Rosa (2018, 2021, 2023). O trabalho se constitui em três momentos principais. Primeiro, alinhamos questões teóricas referentes à subjetividade, governamentalidade e relações de poder. Por segundo, definimos o percurso metodológico que nos levou ao corpus de análise. Por terceiro, mobilizamos a análise em articulação com a teoria à qual nos filiamos, mobilizando as noções de representação, língua, sujeito e governamentalidade. Compreendemos que o sujeito-imigrante é representado como alguém em provisoriedade que deve oferecer benefícios, ser útil, tanto ao seu país de origem, lugar para o qual poderá retornar, quanto para a instituição onde está, submetido às leis e à língua deste lugar, funcionando no discurso institucional formas de governamentalidade, que inserem e agenciam corpos em espaços delimitados, conforme as relações de poder.
ENSAIANDO O CONCEITO DE RACIALIDADE A PARTIR DO PRISMA DISCURSIVO
Authors: Henrique Costa de Santana Luiz , De Freitas Silva Clarice
Published: May 2024

Assim como o capitalismo, o racismo tem se reinventado e readaptado aos diversos conceitos e ferramentas emergentes do século XX e do século XXI. A internet, os reality shows, a uberização do trabalho e toda sorte de recursos visuais escancaram as estruturas sociais que fomentam, fortalecem e sustentam a estrutura do racismo, da desigualdade racial e do genocídio do negro brasileiro. Refletiremos sobre o conceito de raça. Em uma pesquisa acadêmica há uma preocupação sobre quem fala, o que fala e para quem se fala, sendo assim, pensaremos sobre como esse conceito está chegando para a população e para quem se dirige. E, assim, conseguimos vislumbrar a seguinte questão: que tipo de dispositivo analítico discursivo eu preciso construir para pensar raça? Para isso, utilizamos Frantz Fanon (2008), Stuart Hall (2015a; 2003b), Kwame Appiah (1997), com temas concernentes a raça e racialidade; e Ferdinand Saussure (1975), Jaques Lacan (1979), Mariana Cestari (2017) e Rogério Modesto (2018), com temas concernentes a significado e significante, e discursos racializados, no intuito de refletir esses conceitos e pensá-los no âmago da sociedade.
MEMÓRIAS EM FOCO POR UM RESGATE PÓS-MODERNO EM MEMORY MAMBO E LA LOCA DE LA CASA:
Authors: Da Silva Trajano Fabio Jarbeson
Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem por fim analisar os romances Memory Mambo (1996) e La loca de la casa (2003), de Achy Obejas e Rosa Montero, respectivamente, explorando narrativas não lineares e fragmentadas que desafiam noções hegemônicas de verdade. As autoras, por meio de técnicas pós-modernas, examinam deslocamentos espaço-temporais e a influência de diferentes localidades, línguas e culturas. As narrativas destacam questões de gênero, raça e classe, entre outras, resgatando memórias silenciadas para desconstruir conceitos monolíticos sobre a memória. Juani e Rosa, as protagonistas, criticam a linearidade do passado, promovendo uma reflexão crítica para subverter representações dominantes. A descentralização do sujeito revela a complexidade das identidades pós-modernas. A (des)continuidade na narrativa, com inclusão de memórias diversas, destaca a importância de ouvir histórias marginalizadas, desafiando versões exclusivas e excludentes do passado. O retorno ao passado não é nostálgico, mas busca uma compreensão plural da memória, enfatizando a necessidade de representatividade na construção da narrativa histórica.
CONDIÇÕES DIFERENTES, DISCURSOS SEMELHANTES
Authors: Signori Andreia Aparecida , Stube Angela Derlise
Published: May 2024

Este texto analisa efeitos de sentido presentes no discurso institucional para/sobre os imigrantes em um determinado local, Chapecó-SC, em tempos diferentes: no período da colonização da região, em torno da década de 1920, e no tempo presente. O corpus utilizado para construção da análise constitui-se de uma cópia de um contrato de compra e venda de uma área de terras, do ano de 1929, e de um vídeo do prefeito de Chapecó falando aos imigrantes venezuelanos no ano de 2021. Metodologicamente, nos amparamos na análise de discurso brasileira, apresentando nosso gesto de interpretação sobre dois momentos diferentes do processo imigratório na região oeste de Santa Catarina, através da identificação das regularidades presentes nos discursos governamentais para/sobre os imigrantes. A construção da nossa análise discursiva se dá com base nas reflexões de Eni Orlandi (2020) e nas suas fundamentações sobre interpretação. Foram as reflexões de Berger e Berger (2018) sobre o lugar dos imigrantes no estado-nação que despertaram os questionamentos teóricos que orientam as discussões e conclusões aqui apresentadas. Os argumentos que referenciam essa construção textual sobre o que é um imigrante foram amparados em Sayad (1998). As regularidades que centralizam o discurso institucional para/sobre os em Chapecó são: o trabalho e a provisoriedade. Em condições diferentes, imigrantes do início do século XX e imigrantes do tempo presente são acolhidos, desde que trabalhem e cumpram as exigências governamentais. Imigrantes trabalhadores e provisórios, pois caso não atendam aos interesses da governamentalidade perdem suas terras, seus empregos e seus lugares.

ENUNCIAÇÃO E MEMÓRIA
Authors: Nunes Kayla Pachêco , Miqueletti Eliane Aparecida
Published: May 2024

Neste trabalho apresentamos a análise do apagamento dos efeitos da Ditadura Militar pela enunciação produzida no livro “Eu Imperatriz”, de Edelvira Marques de Moraes Barros. A obra inaugura a historiografia do segundo maior município maranhense e é uma das referências para o currículo da Educação Básica do município. Imperatriz é considerada o Portal da Amazônia e foi cenário de episódios importantes na resistência contra a Ditadura no Brasil. No livro selecionado para este trabalho há um salto temporal e temático que omite e eufemiza a repressão militar na região, durante a ditadura instaurada em 1964. Recorrendo, sobretudo, ao arcabouço teórico da semiótica discursiva, analisaremos como os fatos são apresentados ao enunciatário a partir das escolhas discursivas mobilizadas pelo enunciador. Além disso, dialogamos com outras áreas para reflexões em torno dos conceitos de memória e silenciamento. Nosso recorte analítico contemplará o exame de partes do livro que colaboram para uma isotopia de leitura e de duas crônicas da obra que versam sobre fatos referentes ao contexto político no período que se estende de 1960 a 1970. Esperamos contribuir com as reflexões em torno das leituras que chegam às escolas.
Larviculture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in biofloc and clear water systems: masculinization with 17 α-methyltestosterone

Published: May 2024

We evaluated the use of the hormone 17α-methyltestosterone during the larviculture of Nile tilapia in biofloc and clear water systems. A completely randomized experimental design was adopted with four treatments and four replications: biofloc system without dietary hormone incorporation (BFT-D); biofloc system with dietary hormone incorporation (BFT-H); clear water without hormone incorporation in the diet (CLW-D); and clear water with hormone incorporation in the diet (CLW-H). The 28-day larviculture of Nile tilapia was carried out using 16 tanks with capacity of 15 L. The evaluations included water parameters, growth, survival, and gonad histology. The biofloc system displayed higher values for alkalinity, total suspended solids, settling solids, and turbidity compared to the clear water system (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, no difference (p > 0.05) was observed for in final weight, weight gain, feed conversion factor, survival, and growth rate between treatments. Then, tilapia post-larvae can be successfully reared in both biofloc and clear water systems without any negative impact on their zootechnical performance. Nonetheless, such results showed that tilapia can be reared in alternative systems, which can increase the production of this species.
Anti-Occlusion Visual Tracking Algorithm for UAVs with Multi-Feature Adaptive Fusion
Authors: Qiu Xiaohong , Wu Xin , Xu Cong
Published: May 2024

Most of the existing trackers based on discriminative correlation filters use only one feature or a simple linear fusion of multiple features for object tracking, and most of them lack a mechanism to handle occlusions. This leads to poor tracking performance in rapidly changing and easily occluded scenarios, especially on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. To address this issue, this paper proposes an anti-occlusion visual tracking algorithm for UAVs with multi-feature adaptive fusion named multi-feature adaptive fusion and anti-occlusion tracker (MAFAOT). It introduces a novel approach for implementing an adaptive fusion of multiple features. This method transforms the multi-feature fusion problem into a maximization issue by designing a tracking quality evaluation index. It successfully achieves an adaptive fusion of gradient direction histogram and color histogram feature responses. MAFAOT also introduces an anti-occlusion update pool strategy, enabling the tracker to adapt dynamically to various complex scenarios, including occlusion and motion blur. The experimental results on the OTB100 and UAV123 datasets confirm the significant advantages of MAFAOT in terms of precision and success rate compared to other correlation filter-based algorithms. The proposed methods further enhance the expressiveness of the features and effectively avoid the problem of tracker contamination caused by occlusion. Furthermore, this paper applies the proposed methods to the kernelized correlation filters (KCF) algorithm. On the OTB100 dataset, the improved KCF algorithm shows an improvement of 10.94% in precision and 11.11% in success rate. On the UAV123 dataset, it shows an improvement of 14.53% in precision and 16.62% in success rate, further verifying the effectiveness and versatility of the proposed methods.
Student Progression and Dropout Rates Using Convolutional Neural Network: A Case Study of the Arab Open University
Authors: Sayed Mohamed
Published: May 2024

Pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) structures are considered as one of the emerging education management tools that can help improve the quality of education by allowing decision makers to manipulate important indicators. These indicators, which are categorized as student and institution specific factors, may influence student progress, retention or dropout rates. In this paper, we develop a deep learning model of predicting students’ satisfactions and their expected outcomes and associated early failures. The model can also predict dropout rates and identify the main baseline risk factors that influence such rates. The academic data of 12,000 students enrolled from 2018 in the Arab Open University student information system are used as CNNs training dataset to ensure that all institution levels are represented. Then, the trained network provides a probabilistic model that indicates, for each student, the probability of dropout. Based on the prediction model, the study presents an early warning system framework to generate alerts and recommendations to allow early and effective institutional intervention. Experiments are achieved by using the proposed dataset and the performance of our approach is considerably better compared to the competitive models in terms of training/validation accuracy and mean square errors.
Labor Force Participation Rate Prediction of China: Scenario Simulation Based on Education and Retirement Strategies
Authors: Li Xiang , Li Shuyu , Liu Chengkun
Published: May 2024

This study uses detailed population statistics and analyzes labor participation rates in China from the perspectives of education and retirement. It presents different hypothetical scenarios and predicts future labor participation rates using queue factors. The results indicate that under the baseline scenario, the overall labor participation rate (51.43%) is projected to significantly decrease by 2060 compared to 2020 (73.76%). The lock-in effect of education leads to a declining participation rate for the 15–24 age group, which persists until approximately the age of 50. Generally, women have higher labor participation rates than men prior to retirement. In the education-centered hypothetical scenario, the quantity impact of educational expansion is evident. Although the relative impact of additional education diminishes toward the end of working life (60–74) compared to the entire working life (15–74). The improvement in the labor market due to educational reform is sustainable across all scenarios. In the retirement-centered hypothetical scenario, reducing retirement rates across age groups increases labor force participation, but this improvement mainly focuses on those under the age of 70 and is not sustained. Thus, delaying retirement policies is only effective in the short term.

Authors: Yang Jingyi , Guo Xiaoyang , Zhang Shaobin , Yao Feng , Zhang Xiuwu
Published: May 2024

This paper uses relevant mathematical statistical models to verify the interactive effect between population mobility and the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry based on the panel data of 43 counties in the Fujian province from 2007 to 2021. The results show that (1) the inflow areas of population flow in the Fujian province are mainly concentrated in the southeast region; (2) there is mutual promotion between population mobility and the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in the Fujian province, and the population mobility in adjacent areas has a significant promotion effect on the high-quality development of the local manufacturing industry; and (3) heterogeneity results show that after 2011, the interaction effect between population mobility and the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry has declined, and population inflow has a stronger role in promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry than population outflow. The conclusions of this study are of great significance to the Fujian province for implementing a reasonable population policy and promoting the coordinated development of manufacturing enterprises.
RCEP and China: An Application of GE-PPML Model to Goods, Services, and Value Chains
Authors: Xiong Qi , Wei Jiangying , Luo Shougui
Published: May 2024

This study utilizes a flexible estimation and simulation platform based on the GE-PPML model to analyze the trade and welfare implications of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) for member countries, with a particular focus on China. Our findings suggest that RCEP has the potential to yield significant export gains for member economies. Furthermore, by considering heterogeneity in terms of sectors and product usage, our results indicate that RCEP holds significant potential for deepening value chain trade among member countries, particularly in the manufacturing industry. This study underscores the importance and uniqueness of examining the actual impact of RCEP on member countries’ trade and welfare. By providing clearer insights into these impacts, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of the potential benefits and challenges associated with RCEP implementation.

Authors: Bell Gary , Bryant Cody , Pokrefke Thomas , Hite John , Miller Cian
Published: May 2024

The model investigation reported herein describes the process to model and analyze the stability of scaled riprap in the existing 1:55 Froude-scaled Low Sill Control Structure physical model. The existing model is a fixed-bed model, so modifications were made to create a testing section for the scaled stone. Three separate gradations of scaled riprap were tested at varying boundary conditions (discharge, head and tailwater elevations, and gate openings). Each test was surveyed using lidar for pre to posttest comparisons. It was found that Gradation B remained stable throughout the tests in the physical model.
Muslims and Christians in Nigeria: A Proposed Solution to Interreligious Violence
Authors: Aderele Abiodun James
Published: May 2024

This article discusses religious violence in Nigeria, particularly the conflict between Islam and Christianity that has been ongoing for about a century. Various factors contribute to this violence, including socio-economic, political, and governance deficits, as well as disputes over religious beliefs or identities. Additionally, the ethnic, religious, linguistic, and cultural diversity in Nigerian society plays a role in escalating the violence. This situation poses a threat to Nigeria's stability and territorial integrity, and the high number of casualties also impacts the country's economy. Numerous primary causes of religious violence in Nigeria include the agitation for the implementation of Sharia law, imbalances in the political and economic systems, extreme interpretations of religion, and external influences. To resolve this conflict, the author suggests several measures that can be implemented by religious leaders. First, they should strive to integrate religious institutions and faith-based organizations. Second, they must avoid conflicts among religious figures and institutions. Third, they should facilitate formal dialogue. Fourth, promote interfaith discussions. Fifth, establish local groups aimed at understanding each other among followers of different religions. And finally, organize conferences, seminars, and open discussions. Conferences and seminars can be held at national and international levels, while open discussions can be broadcasted on national television to reach various layers of Nigerian society, especially vulnerable individuals who could be used or targeted in interfaith conflicts.

يتناول هذا البحث العلاقة غير المدروسة بين التعرض للمواد الجسيمية (PM10) وعدد النقاط السوداء في نوى الخلايا الظهارية الشدقية لدى عمال إعادة التدوير، والمختصرين بـ PDU، في مكب نفايات مدينة ميدان، وتحديدًا في إندونيسيا. تهدف الدراسة إلى تحديد العلاقة والنسبة بين PM10 وخصائص الملوثات في تأثير مكب النفايات على عدد النقاط السوداء التي يعبر عنها AgNOR في نوى الخلايا الظهارية الشدقية بين مجموعات PDU. تم إجراء قياسات التعرض لـ PM10 في مدافن النفايات المفتوحة في مدينة ميدان، وموضوع الدراسة هو عمال إعادة التدوير الذين عملوا في مدافن النفايات. تم جمع الخلايا الظهارية عن طريق مسحة فرشاة خلوية عن طريق الفم، في حين تم إجراء فحص النقاط السوداء من خلال الملاحظات الخلوية. تم إجراء تحليل إحصائي لقياس العلاقة بين التعرض طويل الأمد للجسيمات PM10 وعدد النقاط السوداء. كان عمر معظم عمال إعادة التدوير في دراستنا أكبر من 55 عامًا (36%)، وكانت المجموعة الأكبر التالية تتراوح أعمارهم بين 36-45 عامًا (30%). 24٪ فقط تتراوح أعمارهم بين 26 و 35 عامًا. كمجموعة مراقبة، كان لدى العاملين غير العاملين في مجال إعادة التدوير (المختصرين بـ BPDU) مزيج من الأعمار، مع أعلى الأعداد في الفئات العمرية 36-45 و46-55 (كل 30٪). عند النظر إلى ساعات عملهم، فإن أكثر من نصف عمال BPDU (52٪) عملوا لمدة 8 ساعات يوميًا، وعملت غالبية PDU أيضًا لنفس المدة الزمنية. كان متوسط عدد النقاط السوداء في الخلايا الشدقية، مما يشير إلى التأثيرات المحتملة من التلوث، أعلى بكثير في PDU مقارنة بـ BPDU (ع = 0.0001). تظهر دراستنا أن عمال إعادة التدوير، وخاصة أولئك الذين تزيد أعمارهم عن 55 عامًا، لديهم المزيد من النقاط السوداء في خلاياهم الشدقية، مما يشير إلى وجود صلة بين عملهم والتعرض للتلوث البيئي. وتتأثر هذه النتائج أيضًا بالعمر وعدد ساعات العمل يوميًا. وهذا يؤكد أهمية أخذ هذه العوامل بعين الاعتبار في حماية صحة العاملين في بيئات دفن النفايات.
