La mujer marroquí, principal vector económico y social del flujo migratorio a Europa
Authors: Enbeita Izaguirre Nagore
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la figura de la mujer marroquí como principal vector económico y social del flujo migratorio a Europa. Estamos ante una sociedad multicultural en la que uno de los mayores retos, incluido el de nuestro derecho, es la evolución desde una cierta uniformidad cultural-religiosa hacia un paisaje de diversidad en el que el Islam ha destacado su presencia. La posibilidad de convivencia entre ambas culturas se basa en dos pilares: la aceptación de un mínimo común en materia de derechos humanos y el respeto y la integración de la diversidad. Este artículo se centra en Marruecos por ser el ejemplo más occidental de país islámico, por la influencia de la mujer en la modernización social y cultural y porque ha convertido a la mujer marroquí en el principal vector económico y social del flujo migratorio a Europa

Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho foi construir e buscar evidências de validade de estrutura interna para uma escala de ansiedade e verificar possíveis diferenças nos níveis de ansiedade para as seguintes variáveis: gênero, tipo de instituição, semestre e região de moradia. A priori, foi realizada uma busca das teorias sobre ansiedade e estabelecida uma diferenciação entre dois tipos – estado e traço – a fim de delimitar melhor o campo de análise. Participaram 214 estudantes do curso de psicologia de instituições e estados diferentes, utilizando uma ferramenta online para aplicação de uma escala de concordância de cinco pontos contendo 44 itens a serem respondidos. Nas análises pôde-se perceber uma estrutura fatorial que dividiu a escala em dois fatores, a saber, ansiedade-traço e ansiedade-estado. Para a ansiedade-estado, também houve uma subdivisão em dois fatores, sendo um relacionado às questões do contexto universitário e outro relacionado ao contexto do mercado de trabalho. Os dados foram discutidos à luz da teoria proposta para a área, bem como as limitações e sugestões foram apresentadas no texto.
Seeing environmental injustices: the mechanics, devices and assumptions of environmental sustainability indices and indicators
Authors: Requena-i-Mora Marina , Brockington Dan
Published: December 2021

At the heart of any colonization project, and therefore any move to de-colonize, are ways of seeing nature and society, that then allow particular ways of governing each. This is plainly visible in a number of tools that exist to measure progress towards (or regress from) environmental sustainability. The tools use indices and indicators constructed mostly by environmental scientists and ecologists. As such, they are not neutral scientific instruments: they reflect the worldviews of their creators. These worldviews depend on three dimensions: the values they prioritize, the explanatory theories they use and the futures they envision. Through these means different tools produce conflicting notions of the sustainability of our economies and societies. In this article, we shed light onto the theoretical and epistemological assumptions that lie behind key international sustainability indices and indicators: the Environmental Performance Index,Domestic Material Consumption, Material Intensity, the Material Footprint, the Carbon Footprint, the Ecological Footprint and CO2 emissions (territorial). The variables included in these indices, the way they are measured, aggregated and weighted all imply a particular way of understanding the relationships between economy, society and environment. This divergence is most clearly visible in the fact that some indices are negatively correlated with each other. Where one index might plot growing environmental sustainability, another shows its decline. Our results highlight that those devices and the theories informing them are particularly interesting for way how colonialism is materialized. Some of these measurements hide the material roots of prosperity and the ecological (and economic) distributional conflicts exported to the poorer countries by the global North, and others show how its production and consumption levels are reliant upon a socio-ecological 'subsidy' imposed on Southern countries. These subsidies represent injustices that present a primafacie case for decolonizing indices and indicators of environmental governance.
Ocular findings in cats with blastomycosis: 19 cases (1978–2019)
Authors: Morris Jacob M. , Sigmund Alex B. , Ward Daniel A. , Hendrix Diane V. H.
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

To document ocular findings in cats with blastomycosis.

ANIMALS

35 cats with blastomycosis.

PROCEDURES

Medical records from 1978 through 2019 were reviewed to identify cats with confirmed Blastomyces infection. Cats were grouped as having or not having ocular involvement. Clinical signs, histopathologic findings, and response to treatment were evaluated.

RESULTS

21 of the 35 (60%) cats with confirmed blastomycosis had ocular abnormalities. Two of 21 cats with ocular abnormalities also had systemic hypertension and were excluded. Of the remaining 19 cats, 15 (79%) had bilateral ocular signs. Ten (53%) cats had inflammatory ocular lesions, and 9 (47%) had neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities. Six of the 19 (32%) cats appeared to be completely blind, and 5 (26%) appeared to be unilaterally blind. For the 10 cats with inflammatory ocular lesions, the most common lesions were anterior uveitis (9/20 eyes), active chorioretinitis (6/20 eyes), and retinal detachment (4/20 eyes). For the 9 cats with neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities, the most common abnormalities were a negative menace or tracking response (10/18 eyes) and negative pupillary light response (4/18 eyes).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that ocular involvement is common in cats with blastomycosis and that both inflammatory lesions and neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities can be seen. Blastomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for cats with anterior uveitis, posterior segment inflammation, or neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities, and a complete ophthalmic examination should be performed in all cats with confirmed or suspected blastomycosis.
Compensation incentive contract of the subject librarians based on the H-M model
Authors: Wang Chunping , Song Lili
Published: December 2021

Based on the H-M model, the compensation incentive model is constructed under the inter-task cost function. The best compensation incentive contract is constructed by solving the incentive model, and the incentive characteristics are analysed. The results show that the best incentive intensity decreases as the subject service selectivity increases. The higher incentive intensity of university managers for specific tasks, the lower efforts of subject librarians for another specific task. Moreover, when the tasks are substituted for each other, the profit-sharing ratios corresponding to different tasks are complementary. Finally, we establish the econometric empirical models to test these results.

Published: December 2021

Aims

To enhance the teaching quality in the field of visual communication design and make students to improve in all aspects of moral, intellectual and physical development, strengthen their ideological education, improve their ideological quality and strengthen their understanding of visual communication design art.

Methods

By using mathematical methods to construct models, and making appropriate selection of the literature method, practical teaching method and investigation method, the author made a comprehensive study on the artistic problems in art teaching from the aspects of definition, function, characteristics and students’ ideological quality, and discusses potential solutions.

Results

It had a positive effect on teachers and on their teaching methods, so that they have a better understanding of their teaching work, to motivate themselves towards their goals, make the classroom teaching vivid and improve the teaching efficiency.

Conclusion

The art of teaching visual communication has a close relationship with the strength and quality of people's thoughts; so, we must strengthen the artistic quality of visual communication design education, to improve students’ ideological quality and the art of teaching visual communication design. In our model, the motivation of teachers to create and sustain interest in students studying visual communication design is stronger when the imagination of ideological content is broad, and when the artistry is positive for right triangle and thoughtful for backward right triangle. The construction of the model is like a regular triangle and an inverted triangle combined to form a regular rectangle mathematical model. It will make visual communication design teaching like Mona Lisa so that people linger.
Genetic diversity and relationship between wild and cultivated cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] as assessed by allozyme markers
Authors: Kouam Eric Bertrand , Muluvi Geoffrey Mwanza , Pasquet Rémy Stéphane
Published: December 2021

In Cameroon, cowpea plays an important role in traditional agroecosystems. Genetic variation in wild and cultivated cowpea in Cameroon has not yet been documented. Allozyme markers because of their codominance and polymorphism are useful tools for studying genetic variation and disparity in plant species. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the relationship between wild and cultivated cowpea from Cameroon. Ten enzyme systems encoding nineteen isozyme loci were used on 62 cowpea germplasm (45 wild and 17 cultivated). A total of thirty-two alleles were found. One allele was only found in cultivated samples (Enp98
). Eight alleles were specific only to wild plant (Amp2

and Sdh95
). Twenty-three alleles were common to both wild and cultivated accessions. Amp2

(z = −2.858, p < 0.010) were significantly more represented in cultivated compared to wild cowpea forms. The mean number of alleles per locus in wild (1.632 alleles/locus) cowpea were significantly higher (t = 2.805, p < 0.010) compared to cultivated (1.263 alleles/locus) cowpea. Also, the proportion of polymorphic loci (P = 52.63%) and average Nei’s genetic diversity (He = 0.126) were important in wild, compared to the cultivated plants: P = 26.31% and He = 0.063, respectively. The low level of diversity found in domesticated accessions compared to wild can be attributed to a major genetic bottleneck that probably happened during the domestication process. Cluster analysis revealed by UPGMA dendrogram separated the 62 accessions into three clusters. Although an admixture of both wild and cultivated accessions within the same cluster were found, the dendogram, however, highlighted a visible separation between wild and cultivated cowpea. Wild cowpea with many more private alleles indicates an untouched resource available for future breeding.

Published: December 2021

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the nutritive value of nine Pennisetum purpureum varieties as ruminant feed, with the application of organic manures. The research was 3×9 factorial arrangement in a split plot design. Experimental P. purpureum included Abeokuta 1, Abeokuta 2, F1 Hybrid, Green Local, Purple Local, Sugarcane, South Africa, S13 and S15, and three manure types (control, swine and cattle). Results showed that the P. purpureum fertilised with cattle dung had (p < 0.05) higher dry matter (91.92 %), crude protein (CP) content (9.78 %) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content (61.10 %) than other treatments. Fi hybrid variety recorded the highest CP (8.93 %) and lowest NDF (57.80 %) contents and purple local variety had the least CP (8.37 %) content. Cattle dung fertilised grasses recorded higher calcium (8.77 g/kg) and phosphorus (2.06 g/kg) content compare to its counterpart, South Africa variety of P. purpureum recorded the highest (9.81 g/kg) Ca content. This study shows that farmers who value high‐quality feed would benefit from the cultivation of F1 hybrid variety of P. purpureum and cattle dung is recommended for the fertilisation of the varieties evaluated.

Authors: Qazzaz Mohannad E. , Abed Mohammed N. , Alassaf Fawaz A. , Jasim Mahmood H. M. , Alfahad Mohanad
Published: December 2021

Aim. Vitamin D is currently an exciting research target, besides its obvious role in calcium homeostasis and bone health, enormous work is being directed at examining the effects of this vitamin on various biological functions and pathological conditions.

Material and methods. The review of the literature and the analysis took about six months and was carried out through PubMed. This is a search engine opening mainly the MEDLINE database of trusted references. We called up all studies written in English that were published between the years 2004 to 2021 and that came through using the applied search terms, and analysed all those that met the criteria.

Results. The endocrine system with its many glands and hormones and their essential roles in the maintenance of normal body functioning cannot be far from interactions with vitamin D. Male and female sex hormones are no exceptions and many studies have investigated the correlations between these hormones and vitamin D. As such, direct and indirect relationships have been found between vitamin D, its receptors or one of its metabolising enzymes with sex hormones and the development of reproductive organs in males and females.

Conclusion. This review summarises the research investigating the associations of vitamin D with sex hormones and reproductive organs in males and females, and thus may pave the road for future studies that will investigate the clinical significance of vitamin D in the management of reproductive system disorders. Despite some conflicting results about the relationship between VD and the effectiveness of the reproductive system, many studies confirm the presence of receptors for this vitamin in the reproductive system, and this supports the direct or indirect relationship between VD and prolactin or VD and testosterone through PO4 and Ca2+ homeostasis, or production of osteocalcin. Therefore, VD is positively associated with semen quality and androgen status. Furthermore, a direct relationship between VD and the production of progesterone, estrogen and estrone in human ovarian cells has been supported by many studies.
The mechanism of action of platelet-rich plasma – composition analysis and safety assessment
Authors: Lichtarska Anna Maria , Sokol Malgorzata Maria
Published: December 2021

Aesthetic medicine is an intensively developing field, more and more focused on stimulating and regenerating the skin, rather than on emergency treatment. There are many methods used by doctors for biostimulating therapies, but the most popular procedure in recent years is the implantation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) used to date successfully in ophthalmology, dermatology, surgery, dentistry and even in orthopedics. The procedure uses autologous material, and its essence is a repair action on damaged cells of the patient as well as the activation of healthy cells and their stimulation for more effective work. The aim of the paper is to present current knowledge about platelet-rich plasma therapy in anti-aging treatment, the effectiveness of therapy with its use, and the mechanism and safety of PRP. The composition of the autologous preparation and its use in aesthetic medicine were also analyzed.

PRP is a procedure that uses the patient’s own cells, and growth factors are of key importance in the process of skin regeneration and biostimulation. The correctly performed procedure, including the appropriate collection and administration of a buffy coat to the patient and compliance with all the rules of sterility, results in positive effects of the therapy. Numerous studies prove the effectiveness and safety of the platelet-rich plasma treatment.

Highly concentrated platelets in the deposited preparation stimulate the surrounding cells to angiogenesis, differentiation, proliferation and synthesis of components essential for remodeling of the treated area. The therapy is highly effective and safe to use.

Authors: Wojciechowski Pawel , Krause Karol , Lukasiak Piotr , Blazewicz Jacek
Published: December 2021

Implementing a large genomic project is a demanding task, also from the computer science point of view. Besides collecting many genome samples and sequencing them, there is processing of a huge amount of data at every stage of their production and analysis. Efficient transfer and storage of the data is also an important issue. During the execution of such a project, there is a need to maintain work standards and control quality of the results, which can be difficult if a part of the work is carried out externally. Here, we describe our experience with such data quality analysis on a number of levels - from an obvious check of the quality of the results obtained, to examining consistency of the data at various stages of their processing, to verifying, as far as possible, their compatibility with the data describing the sample.

On Roach’s Presuppositional Response to Licona’s New Historiographical Approach
Authors: Erasmus Jacobus , Licona Michael R.
Published: December 2021

In a recent article, William C. Roach (2019) offers a presuppositional critique, which is inspired by Carl F. H. Henry, of Michael R. Licona’s (2010) so-called New Historiographical Approach (NHA) to defending the resurrection. More precisely, Roach attempts to defend six key theses, namely, that (1) the NHA is an evidentialist approach, (2) the NHA is a deductive argument, (3) the NHA is an insufficient approach, (4) believers and unbelievers share no common ground, (5) the NHA does not embrace a correspondence theory of truth, and (6) the presupposition of divine revelation is necessary for apologetics. We respond to each of Roach’s arguments, respectively.
A Critical Examination of the Church’s Reception of Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan of AD 313
Authors: Mutie Jeremiah
Published: December 2021

Since its enactment in AD 313, the Edict of Milan (sometimes referred to as ‘the Edict of Toleration’), an edict that freed Christianity from empire-wide persecution, Constantine’s declaration has received a significant amount of attention within Christendom. Most of the discussion has centered on Constantine’s conversion, the precursor to the actual edict (whether the conversion was real or insincere, as some have suggested), with many suggesting that Constantine was acting more as a politician than a Christian. While this line of inquiry is legitimate, perhaps a better approach to the question may be more helpful to present-day Christians. That is, while it is logical to deduce that every prudent politician will ignore the largest religious movement in his/her time at his/her own peril, Christians of every age will be better served if they critically evaluate their reception of each and every major policy that is clearly aimed at their benefit. With this background, this paper will attempt to critically examine the reception of Constantine’s edict by the Church in the years immediately following its enactment. Two early exhibits will be brought to bear here: the Donatist controversy and the Arian controversy. In so doing, the thesis that while Christians had every reason to celebrate the enactment of the edict, down the road, an uncritical adoption of the emperor’s policies and favors towards the church opened a door for an unhealthy marriage between earthly powers and the church that proved detrimental in the ensuing years, will be defended. As such, the Church’s reception of the Edict of Milan continues to be a lesson to Christians of every age in their relationship with the political leadership of their time.
Nourishment in Paradise and After Resurrection: Double Creation According to Gregory of Nyssa
Authors: Marunová Magdalena
Published: December 2021

Gregory of Nyssa (cca 335–cca 395), one of the three Cappadocian Fathers, introduces the creation of human beings on the basis of Genesis 1:26–27 and interprets these two biblical verses as a ‘double creation’—the first of which is ‘in the image of God’ (Genesis 1:26) and secondly as male or female (Genesis 1:27). His concept of ‘double creation’ is obviously inspired by Philo of Alexandria, a first-century Jewish philosopher, but Gregory points out the condition of human beings before and after committing the sin, in contrast to Philo’s conception. While Philo distinguishes between the first and the second creation of the entirety of nature, Gregory only relates the double creation to humans. Thus plants as nourishment for humans, according to Genesis, must be matched with the second creation of humans. In the resurrection, when the ‘first creation’ of human nature will be reached, human beings with their restored bodies will only feed on immaterial, spiritual food—the Word of God.
Analyzing the Influence of Metro Stations on Commercial Property Values in Delhi: A Hedonic Approach
Authors: Singhal Shaleen , Tyagi Yogesh
Published: December 2021

The effect of proximity to a transit system on property values has become a key issue of debate regarding public infrastructure and economic development. This article aims to examine the impact of selected stations along the Blue line of Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) on commercial property prices. The research analyzed 1,413 commercial property parcels sold before and after the commissioning of Blue line in 2005. Hedonic Price Analysis (HPA) was used to estimate the effects of proximity to the metro rail on commercial property values. The method was applied to two time periods, i.e., from 2000-2004 and 2005-2008, coinciding with planning and construction (pre-commissioning phase and the operation phase (post-commissioning phase) of metro rail using actual sale prices of commercial units. The results indicate that a station node shows a negative trend during the planning and construction period. However, the operation period has produced a significant price premium associated with commercial properties, connected with improved accessibility. The coefficients indicate that MRTS has induced an increase in prices from INR 732.80 to INR 246.19, and its radius of impact covers an area of approximately 1/2 km from the stations. The methodology and results provide insight with a specific focus on commercial real estate values in other metropolitan cities developing and expanding MRTSs.
The Application of Spatial Autoregressive Models for Analyzing the Influence of Spatial Factors on Real Estate Prices and Values
Authors: Kobylińska Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

The spatial distribution of real estate in specific geographic locations, real estate transactions, and the prices and values of properties are a highly complex spatial phenomena that should be analyzed with the use of multidimensional methods. Spatial factors are taken into account in the modeling process to increase the reliability of real estate market analyses, and spatial autoregressive models are applied to determine the effect of spatial factors on real estate prices and values.

The present study relies on a review of the literature and the results of an experiment. The concept and principles of market analysis were designed with the use of spatial autoregressive models, and the influence of selected spatial factors on real estate prices was presented on maps. Analyses involving autoregressive models enable reliable modeling and support correct interpretation of the observed processes.
Detection of periodic displacements of shell structures with edges using spline surfaces, meshes and point clouds
Authors: Lenda Grzegorz , Abrachamowicz Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

This research paper tackles the problem of determining displacements of complex-shaped shell structures, measured periodically using laser scanning. Point clouds obtained during different measurement epochs can be compared with each other directly or they can be converted into continuous models in the form of a triangle mesh or smooth patches (spline functions). The accuracy of the direct comparison of point clouds depends on the scanning density, while the accuracy of comparing the point cloud to the model depends on approximation errors that are formed during its creation. Modelling using triangle meshes flattens the local structure of the object compared to the spline model. However, if the shell has edges in its structure, their exact representation by spline models is impossible due to the undulations of functions along them. Edges can also be distorted by the mesh model by their chamfering with transverse triangles. These types of surface modelling errors can lead to the generation of pseudo-deformation of the structure, which is difficult to distinguish from real deformation. In order to assess the possibility of correct determination of deformation using the above-mentioned methods, laser scanning of a complex shell structure in two epochs was performed. Then, modelling and comparison of the results of periodic measurements were carried out. As a result of the research, advantages and disadvantages of each method were identified. It was noticed that none of the methods made it possible to correctly represent all deformations while suppressing pseudo-deformation. However, the combination of their best qualities made it possible to determine the actual deformation of the structure.
GHG Emissions Assessment as Part of MSW Green Cluster Design: Case of Large Cities in Russia and Kazakhstan
Authors: Bozhko Larissa , Starodubets Natalia , Turgel Irina , Naizabekov Abdrakham
Published: December 2021

The increasing pressure on the environment and the exhaustion of non-renewable natural resources has led to the emergence of a new type of clusters – green clusters. In green clusters, the purpose of combining entities into a cluster is not only to increase their competitiveness, but also to increase the efficiency of using natural resources and reduce the impact on the environment. Companies of various types of activities get united into green clusters; this article considers green clusters in the field of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. The authors described two green clusters in project in the field of MSW management in two large cities – Yekaterinburg (Russia) and Almaty (Kazakhstan). The main difference between these clusters is the ratio between waste management practices. Further, using the IPCC methodology for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the authors analysed GHG emissions per tonne of MSW in both clusters. The calculations have shown that the green cluster of Yekaterinburg is more stable and efficient – the carbon content of 1 tonne of processed MSW in Yekaterinburg is 22.4 % lower than it is in Almaty (329.5 kg CO2eq/tonne of MSW in Yekaterinburg and 424.1 kg CO2eq/tonne of MSW in Almaty). To reduce the MSW green clusters’ climatic impact, it is necessary to organize a full-fledged separate collection of different types of waste at the household level; to stimulate waste recycling activities; to reduce the use of non-recyclable packaging, including the implementation of extended producer responsibility; to reduce energy utilization, especially at the waste incineration plants; to stimulate the use of organic waste shredders. The practical examples discussed in this article and the conclusions obtained can be useful to decision makers regarding the design and development of green clusters in the field of MSW management in large cities. The study relies on the research data of the project ‘Enhancement of the State Regulation Policy for Intensifying Clusterization of Industrial Regions’ supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Published: December 2021

Biodiplomacy involves searching for a delicate balance and establishing a dialogue on the necessity to achieve international goals to develop the bioeconomy. The substantive basis of biodiplomacy is understanding bioresources, technological solutions for their extraction and use, indicators, and evaluation possibilities. The article is devoted to the establishment of a biodiplomatic institution. Such institutions will help young specialists in various economic sectors to develop competence approaches, acquire knowledge and build awareness that will make them competent to solve problems related to bioeconomy development and future, looking for efficient use of bio-resources and high value-added production. The aims and objectives of biodiplomatics are ambitious, which means that forms of study training must be attractive and multi-layered. Thus, the authors have analysed formative work assessment in the form of group work. With the help of a role game, the participation of different sections of society in developing the bioeconomy in agriculture, forestry and aquaculture was simulated. The article is devoted to the situation analysis, creating a model for building competencies, awareness, and knowledge of biodiplomats, and approbating it in the formative assessment work of the Riga Technical University bachelor’s study program in environmental engineering, organised as a role game.
Cost-Benefit and Multi-Criteria Analysis of Wind Energy Parks Development Potential in Latvia
Authors: Rozentale Liga , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: December 2021

In the last decade the European Union (EU) has been steadily increasing its’ ambition regarding the climate policy. Considering the linkage between the climate targets and energy sector’s greenhouse gas emissions, the EU’s member states are respectively adjusting their energy policies. One of the current trends in the EU is to increase the renewable electricity generation by roll-out of onshore and offshore wind parks. This research aims at evaluating the potential of large-scale wind parks in Latvia by using the cost-benefit and multi-criteria analysis from financial, technical, climate and administrative perspectives as well as considering the impact on security of energy supply. The results of the research show a good potential for onshore wind park development in Latvia without any state aid, while offshore wind parks are in a much worse position and would not be beneficial for the project promoters without any kind of EU or state aid.
COVID-19 Effects on Cultural Heritage: The Case of Villa Adriana and Villa D’Este
Authors: Pagano Andrea Jonathan , Romagnoli Francesco , Vannucci Emanuele
Published: December 2021

The paper aims to provide a clarification of assessing insurance risk related to an asset owned by a subject under public law and, more specifically, to an economic cultural asset. This study is aligned with key aspects proposed by the EU for the protection of the cultural heritage from natural disasters. In the first place, given the peculiarity of the material inherent to cultural heritage, a motivation underlies the search for the correlation between the latter and the commonality. Secondly, it appeared necessary to verify the differences, similarities and importance of the economic management of cultural heritage in order to understand the social, economic, material and intangible importance of an asset managed in an economic way within a social axis (municipality). The third reason relates to the general severity and the risk and subsequent damage that a hazard, such as a pandemic outbreak (COVID-19), can cause on one or more cultural heritage. In the final analysis, perhaps the most meaningful aspect underlies the verification of the possible consequences in the analysis of summations of losses generated by a hazard in order to allow a prospect of what could be the consequences of such a catastrophic scenario.

Adaptação procedimental em tempos de pandemia: reflexões sobre os impactos da crise em nossa cultura jurídica processual
Authors: Catharina Alexandre De Castro
Published: December 2021

O artigo tem como escopo analisar o tratamento normativo dado à adaptação do procedimento pelo Código de Processo Civil e como esta técnica processual vem sendo utilizada, no período de pandemia, para dar maior efetividade à tutela jurisdicional nos processos que demandam tratamento célere e diferenciado em razão natureza da causa. A partir da análise empírica de alguns casos, pretende-se investigar em quais casos a adaptação procedimental foi utilizada e se as normas fundamentais do direito processual civil foram resguardadas, em especial o contraditório-influência, na aplicação do instituto. A aplicação cooperativa da adaptação procedimental no período da pandemia pode contribuir para melhor assimilação desta técnica processual em nossa cultura jurídica e, como consequência, para maior efetividade do processo. O desenvolvimento do trabalho é apresentado em três partes. Na primeira parte será abordada algumas premissas teóricas acerca do tema objeto do estudo. Na segunda parte serão analisados empiricamente os casos que compõem a amostragem. Na terceira e última parte será analisado o impacto da adaptação procedimental, no período da pandemia, em nossa cultura jurídica processual. Concluiu-se, portanto, que as adaptações realizadas no período da pandemia evidenciaram o instrumentalismo processual, de matiz publicista, que estabelece uma tensão com modelo cooperativo e democrático de processo proposto pelo Código de Processo Civil de 2015. A metodologia de pesquisa empregada no trabalho é qualitativa documental e a abordagem será hermenêutica.

A formação da categoria “cidadania do consumo” no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Figueira Hector Luiz Martins
Published: December 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar o processo de surgimento e amadurecimento de uma nova faceta na compreensão do amplo conceito de cidadania. Uma categoria nativa de sistemas capitalistas que denominaremos cidadania do consumo. Sem muita dificuldade para identifica-la nas sociedades complexas e de mercado, queremos na verdade demonstrar esse conceito relativamente novo que permeia nossas vidas. Pretendemos ainda, nesta reflexão, desvelar os dilemas inerentes à cidadania do consumo, bem como expor suas ambiguidades quando tratadas no âmbito do poder judiciário. Para isso, teremos que explorar as facetas econômicas do mercado de consumo e a atuação dos consumidores perante a legislação pátria. Não olvidando os conceitos de sociologia e antropologia do Direito, intrínsecos ao debate.
Há um direito fundamental de infectar?(o “cuidado” em Martin Heidegger)
Authors: Paixão Júnior Nilton Rodrigues da
Published: December 2021

A crise da Covid-19 parou a economia e confinou pessoas na tentativa de conter o avanço viral. Muitas vidas foram ceifadas e as vacinas surgiram simbolizando a esperança de recobrar o normal assolado pelo caos da doença. Todavia há muitas pessoas que se recusam a se vacinar com a alegação do direito à liberdade, frustrando a possibilidade da intitulada imunidade de rebanho. Haveria um direito fundamental de infectar?

Objetivos: Caracterizar os conhecimentos e atitudes dos professores portugueses e timorenses da Educação Pré‑Escolar e dos 1.º e 2.º ciclos que lecionam em Timor‑Leste em relação à saúde oral das crianças e seus determinantes. Métodos: Neste estudo do tipo transversal, foi aplicado um questionário autoaplicado online para a recolha de dados. Foram convidados a participar neste estudo 13 escolas e 149 professores. Para a análise estatística, foram determinadas as frequências absolutas e relativas, a média e o desvio‑padrão. Resultados: Foi obtida uma taxa de participação de 69,1% com 103 professores a reponderem ao questionário. A maioria dos professores era do sexo feminino (66,0%) e de nacionalidade timorense (51,5%). A maioria afirmou verificar a alimentação que os alunos trazem de casa para consumirem na escola (67,0%) e confirma que tem a perceção de quais são os alunos que têm uma higiene oral inadequada (72,8%). A maioria dos participantes, 82,5%, sente necessidade de formação na área da saúde em contexto escolar. Conclusões: Foi verificado que os professores tinham um bom conhecimento em relação à saúde oral das crianças, no entanto, estes não eram aproveitados nos programas escolares de educação em saúde oral. É fundamental apostar na formação dos professores para que eles se sintam mais confiantes em ministrar programas escolares de saúde oral e, assim, a escola possa ser um meio eficaz de promoção de saúde oral.

Learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic has been making students are not able to be active than before the pandemic, and their learning outcomes somehow become less than optimal. This phenomenon tends to happen because the teachers only deliver the course material briefly then give assignments to students in the end of online class session. Therefore, this present study aimed to analyze the differences of students' learning outcomes and instructional interaction on the course of Videography by applying the method differences of PjBL with PBL. This present study applied Quasi Experiment research method by using Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subject of this present study involved students of grade XI from department of Visual Communication Design, SMK Negeri 1 Purwosari. Hence, its research sample was categorized as population member since there was only one group within the class of DKV Department. Furthermore, the data collection techniques included questionnaire non test of instructional interaction and test results of learning questions pre test and post test. This present study also applied independent t test as the data analyzing technique. Eventually, the results showed that PjBL method was more appropriate in term of learning outcomes than PBL method in which it was evidenced with the hypothesis test result was less than significant level of 0.05. Additionally, PBL was more appropriate in term of instructional interaction than PjBL method that was showed by hypothesis test result which was less than significant level of 0.05.
A Configuração do espaço urbano e sua relação com as margens dos rios: estudo de caso em Bom Jesus do Itabapoana/RJ
Authors: Carvalho Alina Xavier , Carneiro Silvana Monteiro de Castro
Published: December 2021

A presença dos rios sempre foi considerada um grande atrativo e elemento determinante para o progresso das ocupações humanas se tornarem as cidades que se conhece hoje. No entanto, sua popularidade se transformou em alvo de esquecimento e degradação. Neste cenário, propõe-se fazer uma breve análise sobre a dualidade existente em torno da configuração do espaço urbano e sua relação com as margens hídricas, tendo como objetivo diagnosticar como se encontra a ocupação marginal do Rio Itabapoana - no trecho do munícipio de Bom Jesus do Itabapoana/RJ. Como instrumento desta pesquisa foi adotada a metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica, mapeamento e categorização das principais características das margens em pontos distintos e com escalas diferentes, que possibilitaram reconhecer que as margens se encontram predominantemente consolidadas e adensadas. Em contrapartida, foram identificadas áreas com ocupação rarefeita, apresentando potencial para requalificação urbana através da preservação do meio natural e/ou incorporação de equipamentos públicos. Por fim, espera-se evidenciar a importância deste patrimônio natural e demonstrar como o cuidado com este bem influencia no processo de qualidade de vida urbana e ambiental.
STUDY POINTS OF REST HEREDITARITY DYNAMIC SYSTEMS VAN DER POL-DUFFING
Authors: Новикова Е.Р. , Паровик Р.И.
Published: December 2021

Using numerical modeling, oscillograms and phase trajectories were constructed to study the limit cycles of a van der Pol Duffing nonlinear oscillatory system with a power memory. The simulation results showed that in the absence of a power memory (α = 2, β = 1) or the classical van der Pol Duffing dynamical system, there is a single stable limit cycle, i.e. Lienar theorem holds. In the case of viscous friction (α = 2, 0 < β < 1), there is a family of stable limit cycles of various shapes. In other cases, the limit cycle is destroyed in two scenarios: a Hopf bifurcation (limit cycle-limit point) or (limit cycle-aperiodic process). Further continuation of the research may be related to the construction of the spectrum of Lyapunov maximal exponents in order to identify chaotic oscillatory regimes for the considered hereditary dynamic system (HDS).

В работе с помощью численного моделирования построены осциллограммы и фазовые траектории с целью исследования предельных циклов нелинейной колебательной системы Ван-дер-Поля Дуффинга со степенной памятью. Результаты моделирования показали, что в случае отсутствия степенной памяти (α = 2, β = 1) или классической динамической системы Ван-дер-Поля Дуффинга, существует единственный устойчивый предельный цикл, т.е. выполняется теорема Льенара. В случае вязкого трения (α = 2, 0 < β < 1), существует семейство устойчивых предельных циклов различной формы. В остальных случаях происходит разрушение предельного цикла по двум сценариям: бифуркация Хопфа (предельный цикл-предельная точка) или (предельный циклапериодический процесс). Дальнейшее продолжение исследований может быть связано с построением спектра максимальных показателей Ляпунова с целью идентификации хаотических колебательных режимов для рассматриваемой эредитарной динамической системы (ЭДС).
