POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS APLICADAS AOS RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS URBANOS NO ESTADO DO MATO GROSSO DO SUL: O CONTEXTO DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO IVINHEMA
Authors: Soares Nathália Karoline de Carvalho , Silva Charlei Aparecido da
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo propõe-se a mostrar o quadro de gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos na bacia hidrográfica do rio Ivinhema, localizada na porção centro sul do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. Fazendo um levantamento sobre as políticas públicas, o material mostra o quanto ainda a região supracitada sofre com a carência de gestões integradas e planejadas de resíduos sólidos, tendo como base principal a lei 12.305/2010, a qual instituiu a Política Nacional dos Resíduos sólidos, bem como os demais instrumentos previstos na referida lei e demais legislações em vigor no país. O material espera alcançar o maior numero de pessoas, mostrando o quão importante é a discussão acerca do tema, seja pelos inúmeros impactos ambientais recorrentes de incorretas maneiras de se dispor os resíduos, seja pela implicação social tida principalmente na figura dos catadores de materiais recicláveis e demais problemas como mau cheiro, poluição visual que podem ser desdobrados do tema. Entende-se ainda que embora todo o país esteja aquém das condições ideais esperadas, a bacia hidrográfica do rio Ivinhema encontra-se bem atrás da situação nacional.
EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E PERCEPÇÃO DE GÊNERO: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO ENTRE ALUNAS E ALUNOS DO SERVIÇO NACIONAL DE APRENDIZAGEM COMERCIAL SENAC DE PORTO VELHO - RO
Authors: Alves Hellen Virginia da Silva
Published: June 2024

A concentração de mulheres e homens em determinados nichos profissionais é um fenômeno que, apesar de antigo, ainda é perceptível. Sabendo que a inserção e a permanencia das mulheres em cursos de formação profissional em áreas tradicionalmente exercidas por homens possui características próprias e exclusivas, buscou-se investigar a percepção das alunas e alunos do curso Técnico em Informática do Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial – SENAC de Porto Velho, Rondônia a respeito das relações de gênero e trabalho. Através da aplicação de questionário semi-estruturado composto por quatorze perguntas foi possível criar um perfil socioeconômico das discentes e dos discentes e analisar de que forma os mesmos percebem aspectos relacionados ao gênero e oportunidades de trabalho no meio científico-técnico do curso Técnico em Informática. Os resultados apontam que apesar de não haver grande diferença quantitativa entre mulheres e homens nas turmas, existem preconceitos diversos em relação ao gênero que nem sempre são percebidos pelas mulheres, sendo que as crenças e estigmas relacionados à inaptidão feminina para a atuação profissional como técnica em informática são compactuadas por ambos os sexos e aparecem de forma velada em ambiente pedagógico.

El análisis de admisibilidad en la fase de sustanciación del recurso de casación ¿vulnera la seguridad jurídica?
Authors: Medina Canales Andrea Catalina
Published: June 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. De acuerdo con el COGEP, el recurso de casación tiene dos fases: la admisibilidad y la sustanciación. En la primera, intervienen los conjueces para revisar el cumplimiento de los requisitos legales de admisión, y una vez admitido, dentro de la etapa de sustanciación, el Tribunal de Casación debe convocar a audiencia de fundamentación del recurso, y posteriormente, emite la sentencia correspondiente. Sin embargo, en el momento de resolver el recurso, los Tribunales de Casación en la Corte Nacional de Justicia han evidenciado errores con el cumplimiento de los requisitos de admisibilidad. En relación con la falta de proposición jurídica completa, la errónea identificación de causales y la falta de fundamentación, lo cual les impide emitir una sentencia que resuelva el fondo del recurso de casación. MÉTODO. En el presente artículo se aplica un método cualitativo, debido a que, está basado en un proceso inductivo, pues se desarrolla lo señalado en la doctrina jurídica sobre el recurso de casación. Posteriormente, se analizan sentencias emitidas por la Corte Nacional de Justicia y la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador. OBJETIVO. Con base a lo expuesto, se analiza el criterio adoptado por la Corte Constitucional respecto a la declaratoria de vulneración de derechos a la seguridad jurídica y al debido proceso, por la falta de pronunciamiento del fondo del recurso de casación. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. Finalmente, se concluye que es necesario que la Corte Constitucional realice un análisis sobre este problema, considerando la naturaleza jurídica del recurso de casación.

Foraging as an Aesthetic Response to Hunger
Authors: Doonan Natalie
Published: June 2024

This article analyses the aesthetic dimensions of foraging through a botanical walking tour alongside Kaniatarowanenneh, “the big waterway,” otherwise known as the St. Lawrence River, at Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. There are rules involved in foraging, and performative dimensions to its enactment that lead to a particular orientation toward place. A certain choreography is involved in foraging. In the waterfront walk, Balade Nature, which I describe, participants are guided through a tour of edible and medicinal plants. They can be found crouching, stooping, leaning, observing, listening, comparing, moving back and forth, even lighting the scene — as with cell phones — for a better view, discussing and exchanging information, looking down, treading carefully, digging with bare fingers, picking, and more. These acts attune participants to place. The hunger that catalyses foraging contains within it deep interest in other species, and demands attunement to place. This aesthetic sometimes also involves an orientation toward food justice.

Hunger and Resilience: Collective Agricultural and Artistic Practices in an Area Impacted by Environmental Disaster
Authors: Yoshida Shuntaro
Published: June 2024

This paper delves into the generative artistic practice of the “Half Farming, Half Art” project in Toride, Japan. The project focuses on a response to the societal, economic, and environmental challenges faced by young artists, particularly those exacerbated by the Fukushima disaster of 2011. This paper examines the project’s evolution by addressing various forms of hunger, including physical, psychological, and Earth hunger resulting from soil contamination. The project’s innovative methods and community engagement initiatives made it a platform for resistance and resilience, fostering care for the environment while sustaining the collective lives of the participating artists.
In its investigation of the convergence of gardening, farming, and artistic creation as responses to environmental disasters, this essay also casts light on Butō dancer Min Tanaka’s exploration of the relationship between agriculture and art. Drawing parallels with Min Tanaka’s agricultural practice and the practice of Body Weather, the “Half Farming, Half Art” project demonstrates the transformative potential of collective action in confronting adversity and reimagining relationships between humans and the natural world. This study illuminates how the various experiences of hunger became part of the legacy and the changing dynamic of the “Half Farming, Half Art” project.
Deliberate Starvation: Hunger Artists in Kafka, Różewicz, and Sinking Ship
Authors: Boselli Stefano
Published: June 2024

How can a negative action, the decision to abstain from food, be enacted on stage? Examining hunger as a conscious choice to avoid food for spectacle rather than an unwanted need arising from lack of basic nourishment, this article illustrates several ways to make hunger visible in performance. Through the critical lens of actor-network theory (ANT), hunger’s apparently scarce dramatic action is shown to be framed by and networked with the performance of several other human and non-human actors. Case studies chart a process of “translation” of the typical hunger artist performance from its historical examples to its contemporary theatre-within-the-theatre adaptations.
In the West, self-inflicted starvation became a form of entertainment more distinctly in the late nineteenth century, when living skeletons and hunger artists were shown at circuses, fairs, and amusement parks, and produced income for themselves and their impresarios. Franz Kafka’s short story “Ein Hungerkünstler” (“A Hunger Artist,” 1922) looked back at the history of the profession, identifying the main components of the spectacle of hunger. Polish playwright Tadeusz Różewicz turned the short story into a play, Odejście głodomora (The Hunger Artist Departs, 1977), exploring the potential for dialogic interactions at the textual level and developing side-characters only implied by Kafka. By contrast, the contemporary NYC-based company Sinking Ship created A Hunger Artist (2017), an adaptation that expanded the short story’s theatricality around a single performer who plays multiple characters with the aid of all the resources of theatre, from puppets to audience members “enrolled” in the show.
Internal Workshop: The Third Theatre Methodology of Embodying Hunger
Authors: Debnath Sandip
Published: June 2024

Enzo Cozzi in his essay “Hunger and the Future of Performance” argues on the performative impossibility of representing hunger except through a state of trance. In contrast, for Third Theatre, the representation of hunger is a political act of empowerment and activism. Badal Sircar, the founder-director of the Third Theatre group Satabdi, introduces the phenomenon of hunger “practically, non-verbally” that enables the participants to “leap to another state of being,” says Jo Trowsdale in the article “Sitting in Badal’s Circle: Artist and pedagogue; the theatre of Badal Sircar.” The process of effecting this transition in the Third Theatre is called the Internal Workshop. Drawing on personal interviews with Third Theatre practitioners, my experiences of being a participant-observer in three Third Theatre workshops, and similar records of experiences by practitioners of this theatre, as a counterpoint to Cozzi’s view, in this essay I elaborate on the Internal Workshop process as the Third Theatre methodology of embodying and representing hunger.
Transforming Food into a Political Device: A Biopolitical Reading of the Olla Común and the Fight against Hunger in Chile
Authors: Bronfman Dr. Paulina , Soto Pamela
Published: June 2024

This paper explores the transformative role of the Chilean olla común (common pot) as a political device in the fight against hunger, framed within a biopolitical context. The olla común, a traditional form of community meal preparation by volunteers using donated or collected food, has historically emerged during crises such as earthquakes, political upheavals, and health emergencies. By providing nourishment and fostering social cohesion, the olla común transcends its immediate practical function to become a site of political and cultural significance.  We analyze the olla común through the lens of biopolitics, considering how these communal meals operate as tools of resistance and empowerment in times of crisis. The concept of performativity is employed to understand the olla común both “in” performance—where it is represented in a theatrical or stylized manner—and “as” performance—highlighting the everyday theatricality and transformative actions inherent in these communal practices. Post-dictatorship Chilean theatre and art often depict the olla común, emphasizing its role in redefining social norms and identities within a liminal space that challenges conventional structures.  The liminal dimension of the olla común allows it to transcend typical social boundaries, fostering solidarity and mutual support. This paper examines how these communal meals facilitate shifts in individual and collective identities, challenging established social hierarchies and promoting new forms of community connection. The ritualistic aspects of the olla común, with shared practices and symbols, further unite communities, serving as expressions of resistance and sources of healing. Ultimately, this study positions the olla común as a powerful biopolitical device, transforming food into a medium of social transformation and political action. By analyzing the olla común through the frameworks of biopolitics and gastropolitics proposed by  Appadurai,  Montecino and Foerster, and Escobar, we highlight its significance in addressing hunger and fostering resilience in Chilean communities.

Authors: Yıldız Vahit Ağa
Published: June 2024

In the education process, the person in direct communication with all the stakeholders and the implementer of the process is the teacher. The commitment of teachers to their profession has an important place in achieving the goals of education. As such, it is substantial to specify the variables that are related to and affect it to improve professional commitment. The concepts of teachers' motivation and job satisfaction have occupied a very important place in the literature in recent years. Determining the relationship between these two features and teachers' professional commitment will provide practical benefits for the educational process. The study investigated the relationship between job satisfaction and motivation of teachers with their professional commitment and their effect on it. The research, conducted with a correlational survey design, was carried out with 555 teachers from different school types and branches working in schools in different districts of Erzurum. Data were collected through the Professional Commitment Scale, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Teacher Motivation Scale. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were used to analyze data. The results showed that teachers' professional commitment was positively related on motivation sub-dimensions and job satisfaction. Also, it was designated that job satisfaction and the sub-dimensions of motivation, "professional satisfaction and personal development" and "school management," were significant predictors of professional commitment. Considering the findings and limitations of the study, some suggestions were presented.

Published: June 2024

The new approach in positive psychology is growing rich with the acceptance of life in all aspects and with views on the optimal use of human potential; it is being shaped by a new perspective that can be accepted as a full explanation of not only positive emotion but also of sources and motives of positive emotion, and respect for human. One of the predictors of positive emotion is personality traits. Within this scope, this research aimed at exploring the relationship between personality and eudaimonic well-being. A total of 316 undergraduates participated in the study. The data were collected online through the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being and The Big Five Inventory. The findings showed that stability involving agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism significantly affected undergraduates’ eudaimonic well-being. However, plasticity involving extraversion and openness had no significant effect.
Condictio Indebiti: Borç Olmayan Şeyin İfasına Dayanan Sebepsiz Zenginleşme Talebinin Şartları ve İade Talebine Yönelik Diğer Hukuki Dayanaklarla Sınırlarının Çizilmesi
Authors: Han Işık Aslı
Published: June 2024

Edimden doğan zenginleşmeler arasında en sık rastlanılan condictio indebiti, yani borç olmayan şeyin ifasına dayanan sebepsiz zenginleşme talebi, Türk Borçlar Kanununun 78. maddesinde özel bir hüküm ile düzenlenmiştir. Anılan hükümde sebepsiz zenginleşme talebinin ileri sürülebilmesi, ilk bakışta yalnızca yanılarak borcu ifa etme şartına tabi tutulmuş, borcun özgür iradeyle ifa edilmediği diğer haller göz ardı edilmiş görünmektedir. Ancak İsviçre ve Türk hukuklarında kabul edildiği gibi condictio indebiti; özgür iradeyle ifanın bulunmadığı diğer durumlarda ve özellikle irade sakatlığı halleri ile sebepsiz zenginleşmeden doğan borç ilişkisinin tarafları arasındaki aşikâr güç dengesizlikleri bulunduğu gibi diğer hallerde de ileri sürülebilir. Bu kapsamda borç olmayan şeyin ifasına dayanan sebepsiz zenginleşme talebinin sıkı şartlara tabi tutulmasının ardında yatan sebep, kazandırmanın bağışlama sebebine (causa donandi) dayandığı varsayımın dayandığının faraziye olarak kabul edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda geçerli olmayan bir borcun konusu olan veya borçlanılan fazla edimi, özgür iradesiyle ifa eden kişi bağışlama kastıyla kazandırmada bulunmuş sayılır. Condictio indebiti’nin diğer sorumluluk sebepleriyle sınırlarının belirlenmesi ve sebepsiz zenginleşmeden doğan bu talebin diğer sorumluluk sebeplerine dayanan taleplerle yarışıp yarışmadığının tespit edilebilmesi için, borçlar hukukundan kaynaklanan diğer talepler ve İcra İflas Kanununda düzenlenen istirdat davasıyla ilişkisi incelenmelidir. Özellikle bir sözleşme tahtında borçlanılan fazla edimin ifası halinde fazla ifa edilen kısma ilişkin iade talebinin, sözleşmesel sorumluluk alanına çekilmek istenmesi bu sınırının çizilmesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Diğer yandan, sebepsiz zenginleşme davası ve istirdat davası arasındaki ilişki icra iflas hukuku öğretisinde tartışmalıdır. Bu açıklamalar ışığında değinilen meselelere ışık tutmak amacıyla Çalışmada condictio indebiti’nin şartları derinlemesine incelenecek, ardından maddi hukuk ve usul hukukundan doğan benzer tasfiye talepleriyle sınırları çizilecektir.

Bu bağlamda Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin kararı, ifade ve basın özgürlüğü ile kişilik hakları arasındaki dengeyi yeniden değerlendirmeye yönelik önemli bir adım olarak kabul edilmelidir. Dolayısıyla gerek ifade ve basın özgürlüğü ile kişilik hakları arasında sağlıklı bir denge kurulması gerekse internet ortamında yapılan yayınların düzenlenmesi konusunda etkili bir mekanizmanın oluşturulması önem arz etmektedir. Nitekim çalışmamızda Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin konuya ilişkin yaklaşımı detaylı şekilde ele alınarak ortaya çıkan sorunlar ve çözüm önerileri bakımından bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır.
Displacement and Acculturation in Ghada Karmi’s In Search of Fatima: The Case of Amina
Authors: Hussein Elham , Al-Khalili Raja , Halawachy Huda
Published: June 2024

This article draws on John Berry’s acculturation theory to explore the acculturation process of the Karmi family into English culture as presented in the 2002 memoir In Search of Fatima: A Palestinian Story. According to Berry, acculturation involves a dual process of cultural and psychological change, which occurs when individuals from different cultural backgrounds come into continuous contact. Based on the relation of individuals to their culture of origin and that of the host country, Berry classifies acculturation into four styles: assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization. This article argues that due to various social, economic, and political factore, the forcibly displaced Karmis faced substantial challenges in adapting to the culture of England. Although the story of each of the five family members deserves attention, we primarily focus on the acculturation of the memoirist’s mother, Amina, because in many ways it is the most tragic, and because as the mother figure, her beliefs, actions, and degree of adaptation to the new culture greatly impact those of other family members.
Physiological Mechanisms of BvCPD Regulation in Sugar Beet Growth
Authors: Guo Xiaotong , Li Guolong , Sun Yaqing , Li Ningning , Zhang Shaoying
Published: June 2024

Sugar beet is an important sugar crop, and its roots are mainly used for processing raw materials to produce products such as sugar, molasses, and saccharin, as well as being used as fodder for livestock. BvCPD, a key enzyme gene for brassinosteroid (BR) synthesis, regulates the development of parenchyma cells and vascular bundles by promoting BR synthesis, which promotes the expansion of the sugar beet taproot and influences the growth, development, and yield of sugar beets. This study investigated the impact of BvCPD on the physiological metabolism of sugar beet utilizing BvCPD overexpression, silent, and wild-type (WT) lines. BvCPD increased the chlorophyll content and maximum photochemical efficiency and improved the photosynthetic characteristics of sugar beet leaves. Simultaneously, BvCPD increased the rate of sugar beet taproot respiration and ATP content by enhancing the activities of phosphoglycerate kinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, sucrose synthase, and sucrose synthase catabolism. Moreover, BvCPD induced changes in the sugar fraction content, which increased the sugar yield of a single plant. In addition, BvCPD promoted water absorption, nitrogen accumulation, and lignin/cellulose synthesis activities, facilitated by increased activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, cellulose synthase, and protein serine/threonine phosphatases, providing the requisite energy and materials for sugar beet growth. These findings not only provide a new perspective for understanding the physiological mechanisms regulating the growth of sugar beets but also provide a theoretical basis for the future improvement of sugar beet varieties through molecular breeding techniques.

Special-shaped partially encased steel–concrete composite (PEC) columns could not only improve the aesthetic effect and room space use efficiency, but also exhibit good mechanical performance under static load when used in multi-story residential and office buildings. However, research on the seismic performance of special-shaped PEC columns is insufficient and urgently needed. To investigate the seismic performance of cross-shaped partially encased steel–concrete composite (CPEC) columns, three CPEC columns were designed and tested under combined constant axial load and lateral cyclic load. The test results show that the CPEC columns had good load capacity and ductility, and that the columns failed because of concrete crushing and steel flange buckling after the yielding of the steel flange. The plump hysteresis loops indicated that the CPEC column also had good energy dissipation capacity. Due to the constraint of hydraulic jacks, increasing the load ratio would decrease the effective length, thereby increasing the load capacity of the CPEC column and decreasing the ductility. A finite element model was also established to simulate the response of the CPEC columns, and the simulated results agree well with the experimental results. Thereafter, an extensive parametric analysis was performed to study the influences of different parameters on the seismic performance of CPEC columns. For the CPEC column with an ideal hinged boundary condition at the top, its lateral load capacity gradually decreases with the growth of the load ratio and link spacing and increases with the rise of the steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength, flange and web thickness, and sectional aspect ratio. This research could provide a basis for future theoretical analyses and engineering application.

Vimentin has been reported to play diverse roles in cell processes such as spreading, migration, cell–matrix adhesion, and fibrotic transformation. Here, we assess how vimentin impacts cell spreading, morphology, and myofibroblast transformation of human corneal fibroblasts. Overall, although knockout (KO) of vimentin did not dramatically impact corneal fibroblast spreading and mechanical activity (traction force), cell elongation in response to PDGF was reduced in vimentin KO cells as compared to controls. Blocking vimentin polymerization using Withaferin had even more pronounced effects on cell spreading and also inhibited cell-induced matrix contraction. Furthermore, although absence of vimentin did not completely block TGFβ-induced myofibroblast transformation, the degree of transformation and amount of αSMA protein expression was reduced. Proteomics showed that vimentin KO cells cultured in TGFβ had a similar pattern of protein expression as controls. One exception included periostin, an ECM protein associated with wound healing and fibrosis in other cell types, which was highly expressed only in Vim KO cells. We also demonstrate for the first time that LRRC15, a protein previously associated with myofibroblast transformation of cancer-associated fibroblasts, is also expressed by corneal myofibroblasts. Interestingly, proteins associated with LRRC15 in other cell types, such as collagen, fibronectin, β1 integrin and α11 integrin, were also upregulated. Overall, our data show that vimentin impacts both corneal fibroblast spreading and myofibroblast transformation. We also identified novel proteins that may regulate corneal myofibroblast transformation in the presence and/or absence of vimentin.

As more and more new power electronics with high switching frequencies are used in power-electronic equipment on ships and other platforms, the wideband radiation that power-electronic equipment gives off could affect sensitive equipment on the platform. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately model and characterize its wideband radiation properties to predict the wideband field distribution near such equipment. The traditional equivalent dipole method is commonly used to model power-electronic equipment at a single frequency. It is difficult to apply this method to wideband applications, and the precision of equivalent dipole array modeling at each frequency is insufficient. Additionally, acquiring the near-field phase data necessary for comparable modeling through practical measurement is frequently difficult. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes an equivalent dipole hybrid modeling method for power-electronic equipment’s broadband radiation characteristics. Starting with the near-field data at finite frequency points in a wideband, the method employs a global optimization algorithm to find the best equivalent dipole array, which characterizes the power-electronic equipment’s radiation characteristics. Furthermore, the interpolation technique is used to predict the wideband radiation properties of power-electronic equipment. Finally, test and numerical examples demonstrate the method’s accuracy and effectiveness.

The welding quality during welding body-in-white (BIW) determines the safety of automobiles. Due to the limitations of testing cost and cycle time, the prediction of welding quality has become an essential safety issue in the process of automobile production. Conventional prediction methods mainly consider the welding process parameters and ignore the material parameters, causing their results to be unrealistic. Upon identifying significant correlations between vehicle body materials, we utilize principal component analysis (PCA) to perform dimensionality reduction and extract the underlying principal components. Thereafter, we employ a greedy feature selection strategy to identify the most salient features. In this study, a welding quality prediction model integrating process parameters and material characteristics is proposed, following which the influence of material properties is analyzed. The model is verified based on actual production data, and the results show that the accuracy of the model is improved through integrating the production process characteristics and material characteristics. Moreover, the overfitting phenomenon can be effectively avoided in the prediction process.

Published: June 2024

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the Metaverse emerges as a transformative force, integrating augmented reality, virtual reality, and the internet, to redefine online interactions. This collective virtual shared space promises to revolutionise global collaboration, communication, and information engagement. Our study consisted of the application, through an online form builder, of a questionnaire to Portuguese adult gamers, analysing the results with descriptive statistics. Our research question was the following: how is the Metaverse perceived and represented by gamers? In this context, we trace four objectives: (1) verify the representations of the Metaverse; (2) verify the representations of immersion; (3) verify the representations of the multiverse; and (4) verify the importance of these concepts in daily reality. Our findings explored the Metaverse, immersion, and multiverse concepts, uncovering gamers’ perceptions with emphasis on animation, gaming, and virtual worlds as foundational elements. The Metaverse arises as an evolving force that bridges emotional experiences, offering limitless possibilities for experimentation and exploration.

This article discusses the impact of rail market liberalization on the energy intensity of rail in relation to the export of goods, as well as the identification of multidimensional cause-and-effect relationships between rail energy intensity and the importing country’s economic condition, transport performance, and transport distance. Three research questions were formulated: (1) Does the liberalization of the EU transport market and the implementation of a sustainable transport policy contribute to minimizing the energy consumption of rail transport? (2) Does the pursuit of economic growth allow for reducing the energy intensity of goods exported by rail transport in global trade? (3) Is there a justified paradigm for shifting long-distance freight transport from roads to rail? This study concerned 21 directions of the export of goods transported by rail from Poland to partner countries (worldwide) in 2010–2020. A panel model of rail transport energy consumption with random effects was constructed. As a result of rail market liberalization, the export of goods transported by rail across great distances occurs without harming economic development and leads to a reduction in energy intensity. On this basis, key strategies were formulated to promote rail transport in reducing the energy intensity of the transport sector. The authors filled the research gap by identifying the relationship between the energy intensity of exports of goods by rail transport in value terms, depending on the European transport market’s liberalization process, the importing countries’ economic situation, transport volume, and distance. The presented approach is innovative and can be adapted to the analysis of other modes of transport, including road transport, and other countries (and their structure and export directions).
