This dissertation examines the theory and practice of Broad-based Community Organising, establishing a critical dialogue between this approach to social change and Baptist social justice theology, ethics, and practice with impoverished and marginalised people. Community Organising is an approach that originated in the US in the 1940s, and which came to the UK in the late 1980s. It has been adopted by churches from many denominations, by other faith traditions, and by many civic society institutions because of its perceived effectiveness as a vehicle for leadership development and collective action for social justice and the common good. Despite much theological reflection and research by Baptists and others on social justice as a key area for Christian discipleship and action by churches, there is currently little practice of social justice by UK Baptist churches and Community Organising has not been well explored by them. This dissertation aims to close that gap. Baptists would benefit from a stronger theological ethic for social justice. Community Organising has informed other faith communities’ social justice work, particularly in Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. However, there is little UK Baptist literature on Community Organising. This dissertation brings the growing Community Organising literature into contact with Baptist church theology, ethics, and practice.

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe condition characterized by high mortality rates. We aimed to assess reinfection and
mortality rates in IE patients at a tertiary referral center during long-term follow-up.
Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 204 patients meeting modified Duke criteria for definite IE between 2009 and 2019.
Early reinfection was defined as occurrence within 6 months, and late reinfection was defined as occurrence 6 months after the initial
diagnosis.
Results: Mean follow-up duration was 40.3 ± 26.4 months. Valve surgery was performed in 125 patients (69.8%), while 54 (30.2%)
received medical therapy alone. Early reinfection was
seen in 9 patients (5.1%), and late reinfection in 12 patients (6.7%). Staphylococci (41.9%), Streptococci (26.3%), and Enterococci
(15.6%) were common pathogens. Peripheral limb emboli predicted reinfection (HR 4.118, 95% CI 1.471-11.528, p=0.007). Survival
rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were 70.2%, 65.7%, and 57.3%, respectively. Age (HR 1.030, 95% CI 1.011 – 1.049, p=0.002), peripheral limb
emboli (HR 2.994, 95% CI 1.509-5.940, p=0.002), and septic shock (HR 2.357, 95% CI 1.097-5.065, p=0.028) predicted mortality.
Conclusion: Infective endocarditis mortality rates remain high regardless of reinfection. Peripheral limb emboli independently
determine reinfection and mortality. Careful management of this group may reduce morbidity and mortality.
A Review on University-Industry Collaborations from an Institutional Theory and Institutional Resilience Perspective
Authors: Dirik Deniz , Aktan Ahenk
Published: October 2024

Institutional theory posits that organizations are in a reciprocal relationship with their environment, and in this sense, organizations are both shaped by their environment and reconstruct the existing environment with their actions. In an environment where actors mutually and reciprocally influence each other, there are substantial literature studies showing that the institutional effects may be an important factor for determining interfirm collaborations. However, the literature on institutional explanations for the establishment or non-formation of collaborations between university and industry in such environmental settings is relatively limited. In that regard, we employ institutional approach as a conceptual basis for the understanding of the processes of university- industry interactions. In our conceptual study, we aim to extend the institutional perspective by focusing on interorganizational collaborations in terms of university-industry collective interactions where the actors mutually concerned with the normative, coercive, and mimetic pressures. We introduce the concept of institutional resilience to Triple Helix Model to propose some new research avenues.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on pregnancy outcomes at a major tertiary hospital in Abuja, Nigeria.
Design: A cohort study was conducted.
Methods: HIV-infected pregnant women who initiated HAART during pregnancy for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (pMTCT) were recruited, alongside a randomly selected group of HIV-uninfected pregnant women.
Results: A total of 489 pregnant women participated, including 237 HIV-infected and 252 HIV-uninfected women. HAART initiation during pregnancy was significantly associated with higher mean birth weights (p = 0.0007). While there were 30 cases of low birth weight in the HIV-infected group compared to 21 in the HIV-uninfected group, HAART was not significantly associated with low birth weight (OR 1.59, p = 0.1182). There were 6 stillbirths in the HIV-infected group and 5 in the uninfected group, with no significant association between HIV status and stillbirth (OR 1.28, p = 0.6836). However, 29 preterm deliveries occurred in the HIV-infected group compared to 8 in the uninfected group, showing a strong association between HIV infection and preterm deliveries despite HAART initiation (OR 4.25, p = 0.0002).
Conclusion: HIV-infected women receiving HAART during pregnancy have a significantly reduced risk of low birth weight but face an increased risk of preterm delivery.

Authors: Wibowo Rafly Surya , Naylah Maal
Published: October 2024

Climate change has caused an urgency to implement regulations in various countries to address the factors that cause climate change. Carbon tax is one of tools to address climate change. Carbon tax is one of implementation of the Pigovian tax that aims to internalize the negative impacts of carbon emissions by imposing a fee on the emissions produced. This research aims to analyze the effect of carbon tax policies and factors that influence carbon emissions in Nordic countries in 2010-2019 using panel data regression with fixed effect model estimation. Economic growth, population growth, renewable energy consumption, and fossil consumption are variables added as control variables in this study. The sample in this study consists of four Nordic countries, namely Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The results of the study show that carbon taxes, population growth, and renewable energy consumption have a negative and significant effect on carbon emissions. Then it was found that economic growth and fossil consumption has a positive and significant effect on carbon emissions.
Burp tax: Regulation and revenue potential in Indonesia
Authors: Ihsan Muhammad , Rakasiwi Devina Aurellia
Published: October 2024

The increasingly urgent phenomenon of climate change requires concrete actions from various sectors, including the livestock sector which is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. This study explores the potential of implementing Burp Tax in Indonesia as a regulatory mechanism to reduce methane emissions from beef and dairy cattle farms. By referring to New Zealand's experience as a Burp Tax pioneer, this study analyzes the policy scheme that includes tax subjects, tax objects, tariffs, and fair and efficient collection mechanisms. In addition, this study identifies various obstacles that may be faced in the implementation of Burp Tax in Indonesia and provides recommendations to support the national commitment in achieving the Zero Emission target in 2045/2060. The research used qualitative methods with literature study data collection techniques. The research concludes that there is great potential for the imposition of Burp Tax, so that in addition to being a form of effort to reduce methane emissions from beef and dairy cattle farms, Burp Tax can also increase the portion of state revenue from the taxation sector. The specific tariff scheme is IDR30/KgCH4 with tax subjects in the beef and dairy cattle farming sector, including individuals with 30 cows and business entities. However, it is important to note that the imposition of Burp Tax may have an economic impact on livestock business actors and affect the price of meat and milk commodities. Therefore, further studies are needed regarding the potential and impact of Burp Tax implications in Indonesia. The results of this study are expected to make a significant contribution to the development of sustainable taxation policies that are responsive to the challenges of climate change.

Published: October 2024

The primary objective of this project is to develop a system for the production of green hydrogen, envisioned as a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel source for the future. This system aims to store energy in the form of renewable and clean chemical energy. To achieve this goal, the project encompasses a thorough investigation, both theoretical and practical, of a hybrid energy system that integrates solar and wind power.The proposed production process is designed to function autonomously, relying solely on renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power to drive the hydrogen generation process. The system is equipped with an advanced control mechanism that optimizes efficiency by dynamically managing the input from the hybrid energy sources based on real-time environmental conditions. The core of the production process is electrolysis, a method that decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical energy. To enhance this process, a catalyst is employed to reduce the energy required for electrolysis, thereby increasing the system’s overall efficiency. This approach not only maximizes hydrogen production but also ensures that the process remains viable and cost-effective, even with the variability inherent in renewable energy sources.Furthermore, the project aims to create a robust knowledge base from experimental data collected under various operational conditions. This data will be used to develop predictive models capable of estimating hydrogen production under different weather scenarios and optimizing the reliability and performance of the electrolyzer. By simulating conditions such as varying wind speeds and solar radiation levels, these models will enable more precise control and planning, ensuring the system can adapt to changing environmental conditions.In the broader context, this project serves as a foundational step towards the deployment of green hydrogen as a versatile energy carrier that can be integrated into a variety of applications, from energy storage to transportation. The insights gained from this research could pave the way for larger-scale implementation, contributing to the global transition towards a low-carbon, sustainable energy future.

Published: October 2024

Due to the growing global demand for electricity energy, photovoltaic systems are becoming increasingly important as a continuous and environmentally friendly alternative. They ensure the continuity of electrical production in a healthy and sustainable manner. To ensure the efficiency and optimal performance of these systems, an effective diagnostic model is urgently needed to classify faulty and working solar cells. In recent years, deep learning methods have been used to analyse and process images, providing new insights and guidance in the field of fault diagnosis in PV systems. This research proposes a comparative study of the deep learning models ResNet50, VGG-19, and AlexNet to test their effectiveness in analysing and classifying defective solar cells from non-defective cells using EL images.

Authors: Reguieg Zakaria , Bouyakoub Ismail , Mehedi Fayçal , Bouhadji Fatiha
Published: October 2024

The present study implements a Direct Power Control (DPC) strategy to manage a photovoltaic (PV) system functioning as a shunt active power filter (shunt APF), aimed at providing reactive power compensation and mitigating harmonic currents while nonlinear loads are present. The DPC identification method effectively detects harmonics generated by these loads, while the shunt APF utilizes a maximum power point tracking perturb and observe (PO-MPPT) technique to optimize energy extraction via the PV source. Through extensive simulations in MATLAB Simulink, the research demonstrates the robustness of the shunt APF in eliminating harmonics under various load conditions, highlighting its potential for enhancing power quality (PQ) in electrical grids.

Authors: Jiali Du , Baiyinna Wu , Yi Cao
Published: October 2024

The present study explored the effects of “production-oriented approach” (POA) on senior high school students’ English writing. 8-week action research of English writing in a senior high school in Inner Mongolia, China was carried out. The data were collected through writing tests and the questionnaire to answer the following research questions: What are the effects of POA on the senior high school students’ English writing performance and their critical thinking skills (CTSs)? The research results show that: 1. teaching writing based on POA could improve the language and content of English writing. In specific, concerning language, POA could improve the syntactic complexity, lexical diversity, lexical variation of complexity, fluency, and accuracy of English writing. However, there was no significant effect on the structure of English writing. 2. POA positively influenced students’ CTSs, especially in the dimensions of analysis, curiosity, justice, cognitive maturity, open-mindedness, and tenacity. However, the writing teaching with POA did not influence the dimensions of truth-seeking and self-confidence. Finally, combined with the research findings, some suggestions for improving senior high school students’ English writing and CTSs were put forward, and the limitations of this research and directions for the future research were discussed.
Venture Capital, Environmental Regulation and Regional Green Innovation: Evidence from China
Authors: Liu Tianyue , Tao Xiaohui
Published: October 2024

Venture capital can promote green innovation by providing financial support for green innovation activities. Based on panel data from 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China, this research analyzes the impact of venture capital on green innovation and its underlying mechanisms. The results show that venture capital significantly promotes regional green innovation. Through the mediation analysis, it is found that venture capital primarily promote green innovation by increasing R&D investment and improving the level of research team level. The increase in R&D investment is the main pathway through which venture capital influences the level of green innovation, as firms receiving venture capital are more willing to allocate these funds towards green innovation activities. The study also finds that the impact of venture capital on green innovation is influenced by environmental regulation, with an upper limit to the intensity of environmental regulation. Environmental regulation below this limit value amplifies the positive effect of venture capital on green innovation, while regulation exceeding this threshold reduces the effect of venture capital on green innovation. The article confirms the important role of venture capital in promoting green innovation, enriches the research on the innovation effects of venture capital, and provides theoretical references for green development.
Domestic and Global Monetary Policy Interactions with the Kuwaiti Stock Market: An Econometric Investigation
Authors: Alaskar Ibraheem , AlAli Musaed S.
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the cointegration and causality relationships between Kuwaiti stock prices, domestic monetary aggregates (M0, M1, M2, M3), and the U.S. Federal Funds Rate, utilizing quarterly data from 2003 to 2023. The research identifies long-term and short-term dynamics among these variables through unit root tests, Engle-Granger and Johansen cointegration techniques, and Granger causality analysis. The findings reveal significant long-run equilibrium relationships between Kuwaiti stock prices and the broader monetary aggregates (M2 and M3), as well as the U.S. Federal Funds Rate, indicating that both domestic monetary conditions and global monetary policies are crucial drivers of stock market performance. The Granger causality results further indicate bidirectional causality between stock prices and broader monetary aggregates (M2, M3), while revealing unidirectional causality from M0 and the U.S. Federal Funds Rate to stock prices. This suggests that changes in the monetary base (M0) and U.S. interest rates significantly influence stock market movements in Kuwait, but not vice versa. These results have important implications for policymakers and investors, highlighting the need to consider both domestic and international monetary factors in decision-making processes.

Published: October 2024

X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Currently, 162 genes linked to XLID have been found, but the cause of XLID is still unclear. While the GNAO1 gene is crucial for hypotonia, epilepsy, developmental delay, and movement disorders, the NEXMIF gene, also known as KIAA2022, has associations with XLID, autism, and epilepsy. The subject of the study, a 5-year-old girl has lots of congenital defects, including a cleft palate, anal atresia, hypotonia in her lower limbs, and thumb missing. A variety of eye abnormalities, such as scoliosis, finger malformations, and craniofacial dysmorphism. Radiological tests revealed substantial heart problems, bilateral renal hypoplasia, and brain abnormalities. She met milestones more later than her contemporaries, indicating clear developmental deficits. The NEXMIF and GNAO1 genes both include heterozygous frameshift variants that were discovered through genetic research using next-generation sequencing. The complex and varied clinical signs of XLID are shown in this case. The clinical picture is further complicated by the co-occurrence of mutations in the NEXMIF and GNAO1 genes, which emphasizes the need for an approach to offer suitable therapy solutions. Future studies are necessary to understand the complex interactions between these genes and how they affect XLID and related symptoms.

Reflexieve Monitoring in Actie: maatwerk voor leren en bijsturen in systeemverandering

Reflexieve Monitoring in Actie (RMA) is een flexibele methodologie die start in de praktijk van een transitie-initiatief van vernieuwers die samenwerken om systeemverandering te realiseren. De methodologie verbindt het hier en nu met verleden en toekomst om het veranderingsproces te versterken door te stimuleren dat de vernieuwers reflecteren op hun activiteiten in het licht van een bestaand systeem en de ambitie van systeemverandering. De reflectie kan aanleiding zijn om activiteiten, prioriteiten en de gekozen richting van het initiatief aan te passen. Zo draagt RMA bij aan leren en bijsturen in de eigen transitiecontext. Op basis van recente inzichten presenteert dit artikel de essentiële kenmerken van RMA met de onderliggende theorie enerzijds en de vele mogelijkheden voor de praktijk van uitvoering anderzijds. De vier voorbeelden schetsen hoe reflexief monitoren steeds weer gaat over het kiezen, met overtuiging, voor wat belangrijk is op dát moment, en dus maatwerk is.

Published: October 2024

Northeastern Thailand is central to agriculture, growing rice and crops. Recently, this region has faced extreme climate conditions, more water in the rainy season, and drought in the dry months, which is a big concern for the Thai government to resolve. Lakes are essential in supporting the local nation in this area to solve the problem. Nong Han Lake is the second biggest nature lake in Thailand. Therefore, information on the hydrologic system is essential for efficient water management. This work focused on estimating the evaporation loss of the water system for Nong Han Lake. The relationship of evaporation with solar radiation (SR) and metrological parameters was investigated using the linear mixed effect (LME). Evaporation (EVA) data were retrieved from the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), and metrological parameters were obtained from the National Centres for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) global reanalysis. SR was downloaded from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES). EVA changes throughout the year, reaching a peak in April compared with December. The model confirms that predicted EVA obtained from meteorological parameters has a high performance for increasing existing ground-based EVA monitoring networks.
FORECASTING CBOE OPENING VALUES: AN EFFECTIVE ARIMA APPROACH WITH TRANSFORMATION AND MODEL DIAGNOSTICS
Authors: Visutsak Porawat , Wongpanti Ratchanon , Netisopakul Ponrudee
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the use of an ARIMA model, coupled with Monte Carlo simulation, to forecast the opening value of a Volatility Index (VIX) time series. The data obtained from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) for the years 1992–2019 have been transformed into stationary data using a detrend method and first-order difference. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test is used to ensure the data are adequately transformed. The autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial ACF (PACF) are then used to identify series with serial correlation and determine whether an autoregressive (AR) model is appropriate. Significant moving average (MA) lags are also determined for model identification. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) are used to find the best-fit ARIMA model. Among the evaluated ARIMA models, which ranged from a random walk ARIMA(0, 1, 0) to ARIMA(2, 1, 2), the ARIMA(2, 1, 2) model was found to be the most optimal, exhibiting the lowest AIC and BIC values. This model was then used to forecast the opening value for the year 2014, using 2013 data as the real data. The generated ARIMA(2, 1, 2) model demonstrates reasonable alignment with the actual 2014 data, suggesting its potential for forecasting in this context. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to assess the model’s robustness by generating a range of potential outcomes, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the uncertainty associated with the forecasts.

Kamu yönetimi pratiğinde 2000’li yılların başından itibaren stratejik yönetim ve planlama kavramının daha yoğun gündeme geldiği görülmektedir. Toplam kalite çalışmalarının bir devamı olarak da ele alınan kavram, ülkemiz kamu yönetimini de –doğal olarak- etkilemiştir. Bu etkinin en somut örneği 2003 yılında çıkarılan 5018 sayılı Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanunu’dur. Kamu kesimindeki stratejik yönetimin ana çerçevesini oluşturan Kanun, kamu kurumlarının beşer yıllık dönemleri içerecek şekilde stratejik plan hazırlamalarını zorunlu kılmıştır. Kanun ayrıca stratejik planların yıllık dilimlerini içerecek şekilde performans program, performans programın uygulama sonuçlarını göstermek üzere ise faaliyet raporlarının hazırlanmasını emretmektedir. Çalışmada stratejik plan özelinde -hem bireysel hem de toplumsal işlevinin önemi nedeniyle- Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı ele alınmıştır. Değerlendirme, belgenin hazırlandığı dönem yürürlükte olan ilgili Yönetmelik ve Kılavuz referans alınarak yapılmıştır. Belgenin tümü ele alınmak yerine önemli kısımları (misyon/vizyon, stratejik amaçlar/hedefler, üst politika belgelerinin analizi, mevzuat analizi, faaliyet alanları ve ürün/hizmetler ile iç paydaş analizi) ele alınmıştır. 2020-24 yıllarını içeren belge, Kurumun ilk stratejik planıdır, dolayısıyla da bu durumun doğal bir kısım etkilerini barındırmaktadır. Ancak Stratejik Planın genel hatlarıyla nitelikli bir çalışma olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Plana ilişkin değerlendirmenin hem Kurum hem de alanda çalışan araştırmacılara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

A interação grupal entre pares e sua repercussão no processo de alfabetização: perspectivas epistemológicas e práticas a partir da psicogênese da língua escrita
Authors: Isaia Tatiane Peixoto
Published: October 2024

Este artigo parte de uma pesquisa realizada no campo da educação e que teve como objetivo compreender qual a repercussão da interação grupal entre pares no processo de alfabetização, investigando, portanto, a evolução conceitual acerca da compreensão da lecto-escrita de crianças em processo de alfabetização inicial que compartilhavam concepções com seus colegas. Os estudos de Ferreiro e Teberosky (1985), Piaget (1991; 2005), Vygotski (1993; 1998), Perret-Clermont (1996), entre outros, foram utilizados como aportes teóricos para o desenvolvimento dessa investigação. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, localizada na zona periférica da cidade de Santa Maria, no Brasil. Os sujeitos participantes foram oito crianças em processo de alfabetização inicial, sendo quatro crianças de cada uma das duas turmas de 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental escolhidas para fazerem parte desse estudo. A investigação desenvolveu-se através de um estudo qualitativo, mais especificamente utilizou-se da perspectiva de estudo de caso etnográfico. A busca dos dados foi realizada por meio de observações feitas em cada turma e registradas em um diário de campo, entrevistas semi-estruturadas com as professoras alfabetizadoras de cada turma e análise das produções de escritas espontâneas das crianças. Os achados da pesquisa evidenciaram que a repercussão das ações das docentes alfabetizadoras das turmas A e B, demarcam três tipos de interação grupal entre pares, apontadas em um total de três grandes categorias: com predomínio de Trabalho Cooperativo (por Reciprocidade; e, Conflitante), com predomínio de Trabalho Individual e, com predomínio de Imitação. Cada uma dessas categorias deixa emergir elementos relevantes para se pensar situações de ensino. Sendo assim, entende-se que os avanços conceituais mais significativos no processo formal de alfabetização inicial se dão quando as crianças têm a oportunidade de vivenciarem situações de interação grupal entre pares no qual predomine o trabalho cooperativo, tanto por reciprocidade, como conflitante, já que a compreensão do modo como opera o sistema alfabético de escrita requer o compartilhamento de hipóteses e, principalmente, a possibilidade do sujeito confrontar suas concepções com outros sujeitos, através dos conflitos sociocognitivos gerados pelo trabalho reflexivo conjunto.

Introduction: Obesity in dogs is a growing concern in Veterinary Medicine and is linked to chronic diseases and an increased risk of neoplasms, including mammary cancer. Objective: To investigate the correlation between obesity and mammary cancer development in female dogs. Methodology: An integrative literature review was conducted using ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SciELO databases. The search strategy involved the use of the following descriptors in both Portuguese and English: cancer, breast cancer, obesity, and bitch. Articles published between 2014 and 2024 were included in this study. Results and Discussion: Of the 43 articles initially identified, only seven met the inclusion criteria. Studies have indicated that obese or overweight female dogs are at a higher risk of developing aggressive mammary carcinomas, have lower survival rates, and exhibit changes in their lipid and metabolic profiles. Leptin and adiponectin play significant roles in cancer progression, with leptin promoting metastasis and adiponectin being associated with better prognosis. The presence of macrophages and a higher density of microvessels in tumors from obese female dogs correlated with increased tumor aggressiveness. Conclusion: Obesity significantly influences the development and malignancy of mammary tumors in female dogs.

Mais precisamente em 2000 tivemos a primeira moeda social criada. A moeda em questão foi a palma, no conjunto Palmeira, localizado no estado do Ceara. Atualmente o estado do Piauí conta com mais de três moedas sociais. Ressalta-se que desde 2000 o Brasil convive com uma taxa de juros média acima de 10% sem falar no IPCA e demais métricas de mercado. . Mais recentemente o Brasil foi impactado por uma pandemia em função do COVID-19 e em seguida por crises econômicas e políticas, sejam elas, nacionais ou internacionais. Porém pouco se sabe do impacto nas regiões que contam com a presença das moedas sociais tiveram desde as suas implementações e tem na atual conjectura econômica. No combate a esses problemas, o intuito dessa pesquisa vem justamente para trazer a luz informações quanto aos impactos das moedas sociais nas economias dos municípios piauienses. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar os antecedentes e consequentes do uso das moedas sociais. Para isso será levado em consideração trabalhos já realizados. Para alcançar o objetivo deste estudo, foi empregada uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, descritiva, com corte transversal e coleta de dados primários.

O cultivo em solos com alta concentração de sais é um desafio significativo para a agricultura. O feijoeiro é uma cultura sensível a salinidade; sabe-se, contudo, que variedades contrastantes de uma mesma espécie apresentam tolerância diferente aos estresses. A fim de identificar tolerância ou sensibilidade ao estresse e direcionar futuros estudos de melhoramento e fisiologia molecular de sementes, objetivou-se investigar o desempenho germinativo de feijoeiros das cultivares Argentino, Roxinho e Serrano da Região Serrana do Espírito Santo sob estresse salino. Foram realizadas as análises da qualidade física das sementes, sendo determinadas o peso de mil sementes, a umidade, a massa seca e a condutividade elétrica da solução de embebição; e do vigor das sementes quando expostas a diferentes níveis de salinidade induzidos por solução de cloreto de sódio (NaCl) nos potenciais osmóticos 0; -1,2; -1,6 e -2,4 MPa; para isso, foram analisados: porcentagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento da raiz e da parte aérea, massa seca de raiz e da parte aérea. Foi avaliado o desempenho relativo das cultivares em cada nível de estresse. Evidenciou-se tolerância das sementes da cultivar Serrano às condições de alta salinidade, com capacidade de germinar em potencial osmótico de até -2,4 MPa e de formar plântulas até -1,6 MPa de NaCl, com desempenho superior para a maioria das características de vigor avaliadas. Destaca-se, assim, o seu potencial para estudos de fisiologia molecular de tolerância a estresse.

Migrações em contexto: histórico e conceitos fundamentais
Authors: Ribeiro Roberta Daiane , Marques Welisson
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo explora a história e a complexidade das migrações. Examina os conceitos e origens dos fenômenos migratórios, abordando os aspectos históricos, linguísticos e culturais envolvidos. Contudo, informa que a compreensão de palavras como “refugiado” e “imigrante” ultrapassa as definições terminológicas, pois a plena compreensão requer reflexão sobre as complexidades e sutilezas da interação humana com o outro ao longo das eras. Em seguida, apresenta em ordem cronológica alguns eventos responsáveis por significativos deslocamentos humanos, traçando um panorama das migrações até os dias atuais. Dentre os eventos levantados estão principalmente as guerras, que além de grande números de mortos e deslocados, em geral são responsáveis por crises humanitárias. Na sequência expõe os dados numéricos mais recentes relacionados à situação mundial dos refugiados, requerentes de asilo, pessoas deslocadas internamente e apátridas, oferecendo uma perspectiva quantificável sobre esse fenômeno mundial. Utilizou-se a revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa em publicações especializadas e sites para o levantamento de dados.

Published: October 2024

Soybean is a widespread crop in world agriculture and is also of great importance for Brazilian agriculture and economy. Sowing with the correct longitudinal distribution of seeds plays an important role in the optimum development of the crop. A sowing can be influenced by dosing mechanisms, conductor tubes, soil covering, and different terrain slopes. Thus, this article presents the performance of two seeders (Semeato® Multiple SSM 27 ROTO and John Deere® 1111A), submitted to terrain slopes of +23%, 0%, and -23%, regarding seed distribution in the population and the percentage of acceptable, faulty, and multiple spacing. The in loco experimental data presented is scarce in the literature and may be useful for application in other lands. While for Semeato® Multiple SSM 27 ROTO, 0% and +23 slopes presented higher multiple spacing averages, for John Deere® 1111A, the slopes did not influence the multiple spacing occurrence. Nonetheless, in the studied area, the Semeato® Multiple SSM 27 ROTO presented results for the plant population closer to the desired reality.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: A gravidez não planejada na adolescência é um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, mesmo  com o aumento do acesso a métodos contraceptivos as taxas de fecundidade entre essa faixa etária continuam altas, sugerindo fragilidades socioeconômicas e educacionais que se  perpetuam no país. Objetivo: Descrever os fatores relacionados ao conhecimento dos métodos contraceptivos entre os jovens associado com a gravidez não planejada na adolescência no Brasil. Método: Foram selecionados estudos nas bases de dados PUBMED e LILACS, publicados entre os anos  de 2013 a 2023 que abordaram a temática escolhida. Resultados: A amostra do estudo foi composta por 14 artigos que cumpriram os critérios de inclusão e exclusão do estudo de forma integral. Os achados sugerem uma lacuna de conhecimento sobre os métodos contraceptivos, defasada educação sexual entre os jovens, pouco conhecimento sobre planejamento familiar e barreiras relacionadas à comunicação familiar. Preditores como baixa renda e menor acesso à educação também são fatores mais citados como relevantes. Conclusão: A educação sexual é um grande pilar modificador que quando aplicado de forma correta pode promover a ampliação do diálogo com os jovens, de modo a  intervir sobre os fatores de risco para a gravidez não planejada na adolescência e a garantia de uma vida sexual segura entre os jovens.
