Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo estudia métodos para aumentar la productividad de la ganadería y reducir su impacto ambiental. A través del estudio de caso del proyecto Greenfield del Establecimiento Stella, localizado en el sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, se muestra que la aplicación de la denominada "tecnología del tercer milenio" o Pastoreo Racional Voisin (PRV), permitiría, no solo aumentar la productividad ganadera, sino además lograr un producto final orgánico y reducir el impacto ambiental fruto de la actividad, obteniendo incluso un balance positivo de carbono y alcanzando así un mayor beneficio real. De modo que la utilización de esta herramienta por parte de diversos productores puede concatenar el desarrollo económico, social y ambiental de la región. Para lograrlo, resulta necesario aunar esfuerzos entre los sectores privado, académico y gubernamental, propiciando espacios de investigación para divulgar tal tecnología.
El proceso erosivo y su incidencia regional
Authors: Martocci Federico
Published: September 2021

Para la historiografía ha pasado relativamente desapercibido un fenómeno que afectó a una amplia región del centro del país, en la que se incluía el oeste de Buenos Aires, el sur de Córdoba, una parte de San Luis y el este del Territorio Nacional de La Pampa. Se trató de una prolongada sequía que, entre las décadas del treinta y el cuarenta, afectó de modo disímil a esa extensa área de Argentina e impactó de manera negativa en la producción agropecuaria. Además, esto devino en un intenso proceso erosivo en La Pampa, que requirió la atención de autoridades locales y nacionales debido a que se trataba de un espacio cuya economía dependía de la producción primaria. En este artículo se analizará esa problemática entre los años cuarenta y sesenta, a partir del rol asumido por Industrias Maracó, una empresa pequeña que se convirtió en sinónimo de conservación del suelo y que, junto con técnicos estatales, produjo implementos esenciales para mejorar la explotación agrícola y prevenir la erosión eólica, especialización que se convirtió en la carta de presentación de la empresa a fines del período en estudio.

Human Brain Tissue Research
Authors: Suresh Sujitha
Published: September 2021

Scientists can study human health conditions is through the use of human specimens. This approach is not only scientifically superior to the use of animal specimens, it is also more humane. Because of our commitment t0 advancing science without harming animals. NAVS is excited to see continued progress being made toward smarter, human-relevant research.
An article published in Science News last month highlights the value of human biological samples and what can be done with these important scientific resources. The article focused on a project based in Seattle which aims to link patients who are willing to donate brain tissue removed during surgery with scientists and neurosurgeons. The brain tissue provided through this initiative is then experimented on at an amazingly quick pace. Just minutes after surgery, the brain tissue is transported to the research institute. Within an hour after surgery, it is sliced, preserved or kept alive for same-day experiments. Researchers are interested in learning more about the behavior and shape of the cells, as well as learning more about which genes were active in the cells of the brain tissue. The experiments being performed are also helping to explain why some drugs work differently in human brains than they do in mouse brains. For example, some human neurons have h-channel proteins, which help cells respond to electrical signals. These proteins are rare in mice, however. These channels can be impacted by drugs, which may account for differences observed between the species.
The article further highlighted another important finding, noting that, "imprecise animal models have stymied research on schizophrenia, autism and Alzheimer's disease," which is "why studying live, human tissue is so critical."
NAVS has long recognized the limitations of using animal models to study neurodegenerative conditions and has been helping fund alternatives for this purpose, using a different approach, one which relies on creating 3D neuronal cultures derived from human stem cells.
Use of human-relevant models is providing valuable insight into human biology and disease and is producing results more quickly, cheaply and humanely than animal models.

Effect Of Islamic Social Finance Exclusion On Sustainable Livelihood Assets Acquisition And Persistent Poverty In Zanzibar
Authors: Hamad Abdalla Ussi , Adeyemi Adewale Abideen
Published: September 2021

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship that exists between voluntary and non-non-voluntary Islamic social finance exclusion and sustainable livelihood assets (social capital, natural capital, physical capital, and human capital) among the household’s head in Zanzibar. The survey questionnaire was distributed to the head of household with sample size of 287 and data were collected and analysed based on both factor analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS 23.0 and Amos 23.0 software. The results indicated that non-non-voluntary Islamic social finance exclusion factors impede financial inclusion of the poor in Zanzibar rather than voluntary Islamic social financial exclusion factors. This implies that non-voluntary Islamic social finance exclusion has great implication for the acquisition of the sustainable livelihood assets due to the combined effect of lack of awareness about Islamic social finance services on one hand and the cost associated to it on the other. This has great implications for the acquisition of the requisite livelihood assets needed to exit the persistent state of poverty raveling Zanzibar. This paper contributes to the government efforts through Waqf and Trust commission Zanzibar (WTCZ) to review these three Islamic social funds (Waqf, zakat and almsgiving) for the purpose of poverty alleviation in Zanzibar.

Adoption of intelligent transport systems for sustainable transportation in secondary cities of South Africa : a case of Port Shepstone
Authors:   , Madihlaba Goodness Lerato
Published: September 2021

Transportation is one of the major phenomenon which often directs population increase, investments and land use patterns in cities. Most cities, particularly secondary cities often do not entirely plan for future transportation when planning for massive investment developments thus leaving such cities with transportation challenges which include aging transport infrastructure, increased traffic patterns, insufficient parking spaces, high-accidents rates, to name a few. The most ignored transportation solution in secondary cities is the use of technology to manage transportation challenges in which such solutions may include the establishment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This research study seeks to examine what are the possibilities of using ITS to address the transportation challenges of the secondary city of Port Shepstone, what are the recommendations that can be put forward for establishment of ITS in Port Shepstone. In an attempt to discover these questions, the study conducts a literature review analysis which outlines what others have done in this research area and progressively attempts to provide recommendations on the possible establishment of ITS solutions in Port Shepstone. The literature review focuses on five (5) functional areas (i.e. Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS); Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS); Advanced Public Transport Systems (APTS); Enabled Transportation Pricing System (ETPS) and Data Acquisition Management Systems (DAMS)) which their possibility of being established in the secondary city of Port Shepstone is investigated The literature review analysis is supplemented by semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders within the transportation sector; and their views are constructively analysed to draw converging findings. The empirical findings from both literature review analysis and conducted interviews provide meaningful answers to the research questions and enabled the researcher to draw fundamental recommendations and possible ITS solutions to address the transportation challenges of Port Shepstone.

Authors: WURYANTI SRI
Published: September 2021

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengatasi kasus perilaku kekerasan ayah (A) terhadap anak (B). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan disain penelitian tindakan (action research). Mengacu pada pendapat Robert Emerson yang dikutip oleh Grinnel (1997:107), penelitian kualitatif ditujukan untuk memahami bagaimana orang-orang hidup, berbicara dan bertingkah laku dan mencoba memahami apa yang menarik ataupun apa masalah-masalah mereka, dan yang paling penting adalah bagaimana memahami makna dari perilaku dan ucapan-ucapan mereka. Disain penelitian tindakan sebagai upaya mengujicobakan ide-ide ke dalam praktik untuk memperbaiki atau mengubah sesuatu agar memperoleh dampak nyata dari situasi (Kemmis, 1983). Pengumpulan data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif dan studi dokumentasi. Sumber data terdiri dari sumber data primer, yaitu ayah (A) dan anak (B), sumber data sekunder yaitu ibu (tiri), kakak, serta adik kandung seayah. Sumber data tambahan berasal dari dokumen-dokumen yang berhubungan dengan sumber data primer. Pengujian validitas dan reliabilitas menggunakan uji kredibilitas dengan teknik perpanjangan keikutsertaan, ketekunan pengamatan, trianggulasi sumber, trianggulasi pengumpulan data, triangulasi waktu, pemeriksaan sejawat melalui diskusi, analisis kasus negatif, kecukupan referensi, pengecekan anggota, uraian rinci, dan auditing. Kesimpulan hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terapi PCIT melalui dua fase Child Directed-Intarction (CDI) dan Parent Directed-Interaction (PDI), efektif dapat memperbaiki hubungan orangtua dan anak menjadi penuh kehangatan serta orangtua mampu memberikan pola pengasuhan terhadap anak tanpa melakukan kekerasan baik secara fisik maupun psikhis. Implementasi teoritis bahwa terapi PCIT ini memberikan konstribusi menguatkan teori gaya pengasuhan autoritatif (autoritative parenting style) pengasuhan yang penuh dengan kehangatan dan menambah bukti empiris terhadap asumsi yang ada pada teori tersebut.

Abstract. Out of the two Venus flybys that BepiColombo uses as a gravity assist manoeuvre to finally arrive at Mercury, the first took place on 15 October 2020. After passing the bow shock, the spacecraft travelled along the induced magnetotail, crossing it mainly in the YVSO direction. In this paper, the BepiColombo Mercury Planetary Orbiter Magnetometer (MPO-MAG) data are discussed, with support from three other plasma instruments: the Planetary Ion Camera (SERENA-PICAM) of the SERENA suite, the Mercury Electron Analyser (MEA), and the BepiColombo Radiation Monitor (BERM). Behind the bow shock crossing, the magnetic field showed a draping pattern consistent with field lines connected to the interplanetary magnetic field wrapping around the planet. This flyby showed a highly active magnetotail, with e.g. strong flapping motions at a period of ∼7 min. This activity was driven by solar wind conditions. Just before this flyby, Venus's induced magnetosphere was impacted by a stealth coronal mass ejection, of which the trailing side was still interacting with it during the flyby. This flyby is a unique opportunity to study the full length and structure of the induced magnetotail of Venus, indicating that the tail was most likely still present at about 48 Venus radii.
Carbon sequestration potential of street tree plantings in Helsinki

Published: September 2021

Abstract. Cities have become increasingly interested in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing carbon sequestration and storage in urban vegetation and soil as part of their climate mitigation actions. However, most of our knowledge on biogenic carbon cycle is based on data and models from forested ecosystems even though urban nature and microclimate are very different to those in natural or forested ecosystems. There is a need for modelling tools that can correctly consider temporal variations of urban carbon cycle and take the urban specific conditions into account. The main aims of this study are to examine the carbon sequestration potential of two commonly used street tree species (Tilia x vulgaris and Alnus glutinosa) and their soils by taking into account the complexity of urban conditions, and evaluate urban land surface model SUEWS and soil carbon model Yasso15 in simulating carbon sequestration of these street tree plantings at different temporal scales (diurnal, monthly and annual). SUEWS provides the urban microclimate, and photosynthesis and respiration of street trees whereas the soil carbon storage is estimated with Yasso. Both models were run for 2002–2016 and within this period the model performances were evaluated against transpiration estimated from sap flow, soil carbon content and soil moisture measurements from two street tree sites located in Helsinki, Finland. The models were able to capture the variability in urban carbon cycle due to changes in environmental conditions and tree species. SUEWS simulated the stomatal control and transpiration well (RMSE < 0.31 mm h−1) and was able to produce correct soil moisture in the street soil (nRMSE < 0.23). Yasso was able to simulate the strong decline in initial carbon content but later overestimated respiration and thus underestimated carbon stock slightly (MBE > −5.42 kg C m−2). Over the study period, soil respiration dominated the carbon exchange over carbon sequestration, due to the high initial carbon loss from the soil after the street construction. However, the street tree plantings turned into a modest sink of carbon from the atmosphere on annual scale as the tree and soil respiration approximately balanced photosynthesis. The compensation point when street trees plantings turned from annual source to sink was reached faster by Alnus trees after 12 years, while by Tilia trees after 14 years. Overall, the results indicate the importance of soil in urban carbon sequestration estimations.
META3.1exp : A new Global Mesoscale Eddy Trajectories Atlas derived from altimetry
Authors: Pegliasco Cori , Delepoulle Antoine , Morrow Rosemary , Faugère Yannice , Dibarboure Gérald
Published: September 2021

Abstract. This paper presents the new global Mesoscale Eddy Trajectories Atlases (META3.1exp DT all-satellites, https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2021.001, Pegliasco et al., 2021a and META3.1exp DT two-satellites, https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2021.002, Pegliasco et al., 2021b), composed of the eddies’ identifications and trajectories produced with altimetric maps. The detection method used is a heritage of the py-eddy-tracker algorithm developed by Mason et al. (2014), optimized to manage with efficiency large datasets, and thus long time series. These products are an improvement of the META2.0 product, produced by SSALTO/DUACS and distributed by AVISO+ (https://aviso.altimetry.fr) with support from CNES, in collaboration with Oregon State University with support from NASA and based on Chelton et al. (2011). META3.1exp provides supplementary information such as the mesoscale eddy shapes with the eddy edges and their maximum speed contour, and the eddy speed profiles from the center to the edge. The tracking algorithm used is based on overlapping contours, includes virtual observations and acts as a filter with respect to the shortest trajectories. The absolute dynamic topography field is now used for eddy detection, instead of the sea level anomaly maps, to better represent the ocean dynamics in the more energetic areas and close to coasts and islands. To evaluate the impact of the changes from META2.0 to META3.1exp, a comparison methodology has been applied. The similarity coefficient is based on the ratio between the eddies' overlap and their cumulative area, and allows an extensive comparison of the different datasets in terms of geographic distribution, statistics over the main physical characteristics, changes in the lifetime of the trajectories, etc. After evaluating the impact of each change separately, we conclude that the major differences between META3.1exp and META2.0 are due to the change in the detection algorithm. META3.1exp contains smaller eddies and trajectories lasting at least 10 days that were not available in the distributed META2.0 product. Nevertheless, 55 % of the structures in META2.0 are similar in META3.1exp, ensuring the continuity between the two products, and the physical characteristics of the common eddies are close. Geographically, the eddy distribution mainly differs in the strong current regions, where the mean dynamic topography gradients are sharp. The additional information on the eddy contours allows more accurate collocation of mesoscale structures with data from other sources, so META3.1exp is recommended for multi-disciplinary applications.
Spatio-temporal Evolution of Wet-dry Event Features and their Transition across Upper Jhelum Basin (UJB)-South Asia
Authors: Ansari Rubina , Grossi Giovanna
Published: September 2021

Abstract. The increasing rate of extreme events (Droughts and floods) and their rapid transition magnifies the associated socio-economic impacts than the individual event. Understanding of spatio-temporal evolution of wet-dry events collectively, their characteristics and transition (wet to dry and dry to wet) is therefore significant to identify and locate most vulnerable hotspots, providing the basis for the adaptation and mitigation measures. The Upper Jhelum Basin (UJB)-South Asia was selected as a case study, where the relevance of wet-dry events and their transition have not been assessed yet, despite of clear evidence of climate change in the region. The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) at the monthly time scale was applied to detect and characterize wet and dry events for the period 1981–2014. The results of temporal variations of SPEI showed a strong change in basin climatic features associated with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at the end of 1997, with the prevalence of wet and dry events before and after 1997 respectively. The results of spatial analysis show a higher susceptibility of the monsoon-dominated region towards wet events, with more intense events occurring in the eastern part, whereas a higher severity and duration is featuring in the southwestern part of the basin. In contrast, westerlies-dominated region was found to be the hotspot of dry events with higher duration, severity, and intensity. Moreover, the surrounding region of the Himalaya divide line and the monsoon-dominated part of the basin were found to be the hotspots of rapid wet-dry transition events.
Investigating 3D and 4D variational rapid-update-cycling assimilation of weather radar reflectivity for a heavy rain event in central Italy
Authors: Mazzarella Vincenzo , Ferretti Rossella , Picciotti Errico , Marzano Frank Silvio
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Forecasting precipitation over the Mediterranean basin
is still a challenge because of the complex orographic region that
amplifies the need for local observation to correctly initialize the
forecast. In this context, data assimilation techniques play a key role
in improving the initial conditions and consequently the timing and position
of the precipitation forecast. For the first time, the ability of a cycling
4D-Var to reproduce a heavy rain event in central Italy, as well as to
provide a comparison with the largely used cycling 3D-Var, is evaluated in
this study. The radar reflectivity measured by the Italian ground radar
network is assimilated in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate an event that occurred on 3 May 2018 in central Italy. In order to evaluate the impact of data
assimilation, several simulations are objectively compared by means of a
fraction skill score (FSS), which is calculated for several threshold
values, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The results
suggest that both assimilation methods in the cycling mode improve the 1-, 3- and
6-hourly quantitative precipitation estimation. More specifically, the
cycling 4D-Var with a warm start initialization shows the highest FSS values
in the first hours of the simulation both with light and heavy precipitation.
Finally, the ROC curve confirms the benefit of 4D-Var: the area under the
curve is 0.91 compared to 0.88 for the control experiment without data
assimilation.
Model updating of a wind turbine blade finite element beam model with invertible neural networks
Authors: Noever-Castelos Pablo , Melcher David , Balzani Claudio
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Digitalization, especially in the form of a digital twin, is fast becoming a key instrument for the monitoring of a product's life cycle from manufacturing to operation and maintenance, and has recently been applied to wind turbine blades. Here, model updating plays an important role for digital twins, in the form of adjusting the model to best replicate the corresponding real-world counterpart. However, classical updating methods are generally limited to a reduced parameter space due to low computational efficiency. Moreover, these approaches most likely lack a probabilistic evaluation of the result. The purpose of this paper is to extend a previous feasibility study to a finite element beam model of a full blade, for which the model updating process is conducted through the novel approach with invertible neural networks (INNs). This type of artificial neural network is trained to represent an inversion of the physical model, which in general is complex and non-linear. During the updating process, the inverse model is evaluated based on the target model's modal responses, which then returns the posterior prediction for the input parameters. In advance, a global sensitivity study will reduce the parameter space to a significant subset, on which the updating process will focus. The finally trained INN excellently predicts the input parameters' posterior distributions of the proposed generic updating problem. Moreover, intrinsic model ambiguities, such as material densities of two closely located laminates, are correctly captured. A robustness analysis with noisy response reveals a few sensitive parameters, though most can still be recovered with equal accuracy. And, finally, after the resimulation analysis with the updated model, the modal response perfectly matches the target values. Thus, we successfully confirmed that INNs offer an extraordinary capability for structural model updating of even more complex and larger models of wind turbine blades.
University Infrastructure Quality and Students Engagement at a Private University in Uganda
Authors: Mugizi Wilson
Published: September 2021

This study assessed the influence of university infrastructure quality on students’ engagement at the western branch of a private University in Bushenyi District, Uganda. Particularly, the study assessed the influence of lecture rooms infrastructure, university-level infrastructure and university utilities. Using the positivist approach, the study was guided by the correlational research design, collecting data using a questionnaire on a sample of 183 students. Descriptive analysis revealed that student engagement was high, lecture rooms’ infrastructure and university utilities were good. However, the students rated university-level infrastructure as fair. Regression analysis showed that lecture rooms’ infrastructure and university utilities were significant positive predictors of students’ engagement. However, university-level infrastructure had a positive but insignificant influence on students’ engagement. Thus, the quality of lecture rooms’ infrastructure is imperative, university utilities are essential and improved university-level infrastructure is a requirement for enhancing students’ engagement. Therefore, it was recommended that universities emphasise providing quality classroom infrastructure, improve university-level infrastructure, and establish quality university utilities.

Este trabajo dilucida de qué modo y con qué intención la reina Leonor Plantagenet incluyó un signo rodado o sello diplomático, propio y singular, en dos pergaminos de 1179. Esta decisión de trazar en documentos signos rodados reginales no tenía precedentes en los reinos hispanos ni en otras soberanías europeas. Leonor fue también la primera reina consorte que dispuso de una cancillería reginal distinta y autónoma de la del rey. Este estudio discierne la facultad de representación política desempeñada por el signo rodado empleado por Leonor: una mano situada en el centro de un círculo y rodeada por la intitulación textual de reina de Toledo y Castilla. ¿Qué significa y representa esta mano? ¿Qué mensaje y semblante pretendió proyectar la cancillería de Leonor con respecto a su poder y autoridad en la emisión de estos documentos? Nuestro análisis histórico y artístico formula una propuesta de comprensión de la naturaleza corroborativa del signo rodado, de las intenciones políticas y simbólicas, así como de la retórica visual que confluyeron en la confección de la manus, imagen política en la autorización de documentos, que respondería a cuatro dimensiones y sentidos del ejercicio del poder monárquico: literal (“manuscrito”), autoridad (“mandato”), económico (“manutención”) y aclamadora (“manifestación”).

Remnant photosynthetic pigments in tea dregs: identification, composition, and potential use as antibacterial photosensitizer
Authors: Indrawati Renny , Zubaidah Elok , Sutrisno Aji , Limantara Leenawaty , Brotosudarmo Tatas Hardo Panintingjati
Published: September 2021

The production of tea dregs is continually increasing along with the growth of people's interest in ready-to-drink beverages. However, the recent development of research on the use of tea dregs is still very limited. The present study was aimed to identify the remnant photosynthetic pigments in tea dregs, determine their composition, and evaluate their potential use as natural antibacterial agents based on light-induced reaction (photosensitization). The tea dregs from six commercial teas, consisting of green and black teas, were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a photodiode array detector, and the spectroscopic data were analyzed from 350 to 700 nm. Pigment identification was performed based on spectral characteristics, and pigment composition in the extracts from the dregs was determined by a three-dimensional multi-chromatogram analysis method. The dominant pigment fractions in both tea types were pheophytin a and its isomers, as well as pheophytin b. Although the dregs of black teas generally contain fewer remnant pigments, they possess residual chlorophyll b, which is not found in the dregs of green teas. In thirty-minutes illumination under 50 W red light-emitting diode, the presence of pigments from tea dregs caused up to 0.87 and 0.35 log reduction of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. The disparity of pigments composition among tea types does not strongly influence their photosensitization activity against both bacteria. Hence, upon further application, the amount of total remnant pigments in the dregs could be taken as substantial consideration instead of tea types.

Published: September 2021

Eskiden bilgi ve haberleşme teknolojilerinin insanlara sunduğu imkânlar hayli sınırlıydı. Zamanla küresel evrim aracı olarak kullanılmaya başlayan bilgi-haberleşme teknolojileri sayesinde imkânlar artarak evrende vazgeçilmez bir öğe haline gelmiştir. Dijitalleşmenin yaygınlaşması sayesinde teknolojik gelişmelerde oldukça popülarite kazanmış ve internet hayatımızın önemli parçası halini almaya başlamıştır. Bilhassa 2000’li yılların ilk çeyreğinden itibaren endüstri toplumundan bilgi toplumuna doğru hızlı bir evrim meydana gelmiştir. Bilgi-haberleşme teknolojilerinin, kamu ve özel teşebbüs kuruluşları üzerinde önemli etkileri olmuştur. Muhakkak, bu tesirden Türk Kamu Yönetimi de nasibini almıştır. Teknolojinin etkisiyle beraber, vatandaşların kamudan aldığı hizmetten beklentilerini değiştirmiştir. Bu beklentilere cevap vermek amacıyla kamu tarafından hizmet taleplerinin daha hızlı ve ucuz bir biçimde karşılanması için bilgi-haberleşme teknolojilerinden faydalanılarak dijital uygulamalar geliştirilmiştir. Çalışma 2000’li yılların başından bugüne kadar, vatandaşlara etkili ve faydalı hizmet sunmak için dünyada hızla yürütülen dijital devlet ve dijital belediye uygulamalarının yanı sıra yerel katılımı artırma ve merkezî hükümetin bürokratik maliyetlerini ve yükünü hafifletme imkânları da sağlamaktadır.

Authors: Kulikowska-Kulesza Justyna , Kościuk Dominik
Published: September 2021

In the history of mankind there are known cases of conducting experiments with a goal against people. After all, there has  been eugenic research, or research leading to the creation of biological weapons. Such experiments are usually  hidden from the public and governed by the internal and classified regulations of particular states. That is why it is  important for the domestic legal orders world-wide to establish not only research methods and ways of conducting  experiments (from the point of view of medical art and effectiveness of research) but also – and perhaps even more  importantly – legal principles and rules limiting the conduct of medical experiments, and to establish rules of conduct with  the effect of saving and prolonging the life and health of the patient. This article will analyse the Polish legal  regulations and Polish doctrine in the field as a case study, describing an example of the national measures implemented  to provide control of the research and medical experiment procedures.

Introduction: Syphilis is a problem for the Brazilian Public Health. Therefore, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has been promoting actions to fight this disease; among them, the “No Syphilis Project” stands out, and develops open educational resources (OER), among several activities. Objective: To analyze the open educational resources available in the SUS (the Brazilian Unified Health System) Virtual Learning Environment, focused on syphilis. Methods: This qualitative study, based on epistemology in the field of phenomenology, is a content analysis operated with the meanings constructed to parts of a set of texts and the objects of its analysis were the teaching plans of 19 educational resources available at AVASUS, which dealt with the theme “Syphilis”. The analysis was organized into two unitss: The main purpose of the educational resource and Thematic focus of the educational resource. Results: The overlapping of clinical aspects of the disease to the detriment of socio-environmental aspects and the prevalence of informational objectives can be observed, with the exception of one resource that presented an objective that sought a more active action by the course participant. In the analysis unit 1 it was possible to identify the prevalence of objectives such as 'presenting' or 'conveying' content/information related to the disease. In the analysis unit 2 it was possible to identify the “classic” biomedical cycle of approaching a disease, focusing on diagnosis. Conclusion: The study contributed to the identification of gaps from the thematic and methodological point of view that can guide the planning for the construction of new educational resources.
