Secured fog-based vehicular crowd-sensing protocol by Modified Attribute based Encryption Model
Authors: Umale Bhagyashree Ramesh , Sharma Pooja
Published: October 2024

The contemporary fog computing paradigm evolved from traditional cloud computing to give storage and computation resources at the network’s edge. Fog enabled vehicular processing is anticipated to be a fundamental component that may expedite a variety of applications, notably crowd-sensing, when applied to vehicular networks. As a result, the confidentiality and safety of vehicles participating in the crowd-sensing platform are now recognized as critical challenges for smart police and cyber defence. Furthermore, sophisticated access control is essential to meet the requirements of crowd-sensing users of information. This work presents a novel secured fog-based protocol for vehicular crowd sensing utilizing an attribute-based encryption model. The proposed framework incorporates a two-layered fog architecture termed fog layer A and fog layer B. Fog layer A includes data owners (vehicles) and fog nodes, while fog layer B consists of fog nodes integrated with Road Side Units (RSUs). The Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) governs the retrieval of regular or specialized data as per the request of data users. The data collection procedure varies based on the type of data being processed. Regular data is gathered from data owners, aggregated using the Multiple Kernel Induced in Kernel Least Mean Square (MKI-KLMS) technique, which employs kernel least mean square and hierarchical fractional bidirectional least mean square methods to handle redundancy in data aggregation. Subsequently, the aggregated data is encrypted using the Proposed Fusion Key for Encryption (PFKE) technique, which employs a fusion key for message encryption. Additionally, an enhanced Blowfish algorithm is applied for an extra layer of encryption on the already encrypted data. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the TTA. The decryption process utilizes the same key to retrieve the original message. The Modified Attribute based Encryption Model (MAEM) scheme achieves the highest efficiency of 90.9476.

Authors: Heidari Ali , Khalilzadeh Mohammad , Pamucar Dragan
Published: October 2024

This paper presents an intelligent intrusion detection system using fuzzy logic based on particle swarm optimization algorithm. The main goal of this research is to survey the convergence capability of the particle swarm optimization algorithm using fuzzy logic in intelligent intrusion detection of a designable system. In order to simulate intelligent attacks on a system, KDD99 data are used. Based on the findings, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is highly capable of detecting an intelligent attack on a system. In this study, we considered 1800 times attack, in which the PSO algorithm was capable of repelling attacks in 7.24 seconds and converged. The best convergence occurred at stage 775, and then all attacks were eliminated from the system. Results showed that the stability and convergence of the system improved after each attack. Also, the number of attacks increased to 2500 times to investigate unpredictable intrusions and converge accrued at the attack 771st. Finally, the results obtained by the PSO algorithms were compared to the results obtained by the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. The findings indicate that the PSO algorithm is highly capable of detecting intelligent intrusions into a system. It is also suggested to employ this algorithm in cloud computing systems because of its high capability of repelling smart attacks.

Authors: Fiegler-Rudol Jakub , Kasperczyk Janusz
Published: October 2024

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and poses a significant public health concern due to its link with various cancers. Despite widespread awareness of HPV, actual knowledge about the virus remains limited, which limits the effectiveness of preventive measures such as vaccination. This article reviews the literature to evaluate how HPV knowledge influences attitudes toward vaccination. Studies indicate that access to education and healthcare is crucial in bridging knowledge gaps about HPV. To improve awareness, vaccination rates, and screening participation, targeted educational interventions and public health strategies are essential. Furthermore, changes in the education and training of healthcare providers are necessary for the successful implementation of public health initiatives, boosting vaccination uptake and increasing the performance of screening tests.

Authors: Diemiekhin Danylo
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the phenomenon of screen dance in the context of dialogism of choreographic and audiovisual art. Research methodology. The method of analysis and synthesis was applied (to study the scientific literature on the research topic and identify the main concepts of screen dance), the terminological method (to clarify the concept of "screen dance"); the typological method and the method of historical and cultural analysis (to identify the peculiarities of the interaction of choreographic and audiovisual art in historical retrospect), the method of generalisation. Scientific novelty. The phenomenon of screen dance is studied in the context of dialogism of choreographic and audiovisual art in historical retrospect; the concept of "screen dance" has been clarified; the properties of screen dance are understood, the points of common influence and mutual exchange between film and dance are considered, which define it as an autonomous practice; little-known and unknown sources, as well as the results of research by modern foreign scientists, were introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The study found that there are no strict criteria for defining screen dance in the scientific literature. During the historical development, this art form was usually denoted by a number of terms limited by indications of materiality (video dance, film dance, dance film), but it is screen dance that formulates the common denominator between them. Within the problematics of dialogism of choreographic and audiovisual art, screen dance can be considered as a form of research that studies the relationships between composition, choreographic language, and the meanings of body, movement, space, and time in the context of contemporary debates about cultural practices. Screen dance can take many forms and features and cross genres, with no limits on how it can be produced, filmed, edited and distributed. The coexistence of choreographic and audiovisual in the concept of screen dance is characterised by a constant dynamic interaction, the specifics of which are determined by innovative technological inventions and trends in the socio-cultural space.

Scientific novelty. The problem of digital inclusion in the cultural industry has been studied; the theory of digital inclusion in foreign scientific works is considered; the peculiarities of digital inclusion in modern cultural industries of Ukraine were revealed; promising measures on which the strategy for overcoming the digital divide should be based are outlined. Conclusions. The strategy of digital inclusion of cultural industries in Ukraine should be based on a set of measures aimed at overcoming the digital divide, which includes, first of all: providing high-speed Internet to as large a part of the population as possible; all kinds of assistance in the process of improving the digital literacy of potential consumers of a cultural product / service; provision of high-quality technical support; creation of specialised applications and online content, according to the specifics of the activities covered by each cultural industry. Potential forward-looking steps include providing ongoing support to users, reducing professional jargon and offering interpretive resources, and ensuring that technology and training are offered to all users on an equal basis, not just those confident enough to seek help. The study revealed that at the current stage in Ukraine, only libraries not only offer the Internet, but also provide a range of training services from basic digital literacy to the skills needed to use certain services (audio/video streaming service, file sharing services, online platforms), devices and applications that are currently actively used in the system of cultural industries (for example, applications of augmented reality in museum, exhibition activities, performing arts).
Genre and Style Metamorphoses of German Choral Cantata of 18th-19th Centuries
Authors: Liu Shanshan
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the work is to reveal the genre-stylistic and spiritual-content instructions of the German choral cantata and the peculiarities of its existence in the musical-historical tradition of the 18th-19th centuries. The methodology of the work has a complex nature and is based on a combination of the principles of interdisciplinary, historical-typological, hermeneutic, art history and genre-stylistic research methods. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, for the first time, it offers a generalisation of the poetic-intonational specificity of the German spiritual cantata of the 18th-19th centuries and its genre-stylistic metamorphoses in the specified period. Conclusions. The genre specificity of the German spiritual cantata is determined by its contact with the liturgical practice of the German Protestant church. This genre is directly related to the church sermon and therefore was called "sermon music", "motet", "concert", "dialogue", summarised by the concept of Hauptmusik ("Main music of the day"). The contact of the German spiritual cantata with its Italian analogues and opera did not exclude the presence of original features in it, among which the Protestant chorale, based on traditional for the 18th-19th centuries, dominates. polyphonic forms, on the significant role of the instrumental beginning. An essential feature of the genre can be considered its figurative and semantic focus on the reproduction of the sacred aspects of a person's life path, their spiritual ascent-transformation, interpreted in the context of the instructions of the Lutheran faith. The German romantic cantata, represented in the works of R. Schumann, F. Mendelssohn, R. Wagner, and J. Brahms, on the one hand, reflected a wide genre and style spectrum of the creative searches of the named authors, within the framework of which the cantata was synthesised with the typology of various genres – from chamber a vocal cycle, a leader's play up to an oratorio, a dramatic scene (in the works of R. Schuman). On the other hand, the romantics' appeal to the poetics of the choral cantata symbolised the revival of the German spiritual and musical tradition, summarised by the name of J. S. Bach, which was directly reproduced in the cantata compositions of F. Mendelssohn, R. Wagner ("The Brotherly Meal of the Apostles") and works of Y. Brahms. Despite all the differences in the textual basis of the works of the named authors and their aesthetic guidelines (Y. V. Goethe, M. Horn, T. Moore, paraphrases of biblical texts), their unifying quality is the "memory of the genre", focused on the reproduction of the individual's spiritual path and the high didactic and ethical meaning of their inner transformation.
Exploring the Integration of Chinese Music in Western Musicological Literature: Trends, Gaps, and Multicultural Perspectives
Authors: Syun Yi
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyse Western musicological literature to identify key trends and gaps in existing research on Chinese music as an integral part of the contemporary multicultural educational space. The research methodology is based on content analysis, comparative analysis, and bibliographic review. The primary method is content analysis, involving a systematic review of academic articles, monographs, reviews, and other publications on Chinese music in Western musicological literature. Comparative analysis is used to compare Western research on Chinese music with scholarly work from China and other countries. Bibliographic review helps to identify scientific gaps and trends in Chinese music research. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of Western musicological literature on Chinese music to reveal key trends and gaps in existing research. The use of content analysis, comparative analysis, and bibliographic review allows for the first systematic organisation and comparison of approaches to studying Chinese music in different cultural contexts. The study also provides new insights into the role of Chinese music in the contemporary multicultural educational space, contributing to its integration and popularisation. Conclusions. Over the past three decades, publications on Chinese music within the context of multicultural music education have been irregular. Although the number of studies is not large, it shows moderate activity in the 1990s and early 2000s, with a noticeable increase after 2007 and periods of decline between 2010 and 2014. This indicates the need for further analysis of the reasons behind this dynamic and a deeper exploration of the integration of Chinese music into the Western educational context. The literature review shows that research covers a broad range of educational contexts, from early childhood to higher education and teacher professional development, indicating the potential for integrating Chinese music at various levels of formal education. The review also reveals that research on Chinese music often has a Eurocentric approach, evaluating it through the lens of Western music theory. This limits the full understanding and integration of Chinese musical traditions, highlighting the need for a deeper and more comprehensive approach that would foster an understanding of Chinese music in its own context.

Authors: Zakharov D. A. , Stepanova E. V. , Ivanochkin I. A.
Published: October 2024

The studing the efficiency of new magnesium-containing fertilizer “AktiMax” use for priming soft winter wheat seeds of the “Skipetr” variety. The effect of the fertilizer is compared with the negative (no fertilizer) and positive (“Novosil”) controls. During the study, the optimal concentration 2.6 ml/l of the solution for processing by the selected method is found, which is equivalent to 20% of the recommended by the manufacturer (13 ml/l). At treating with a solution of this concentration, a slight decrease in seed germination is observed, and growth parameter records taken after 7 days showed an increase in leaf length by 15–20%. A slight decrease in the number of roots (by 10%) and branching of the root system is observed, which is presumably due to the availability of the fertilizer components. The effect fertilizer on the photosynthetic apparatus, carbon dioxide assimilation and transpiration rate when use in a range of concentrations is studied. On average, the transpiration activity increased by 2 times in the variant with the working concentration and by 1.8 times in the variant with one fifth of the working concentration. A slight increase in the efficiency of non-photochemical fluorescence quenching is revealed in plants at the “AktiMax” application. The efficiency of seed priming method use to stimulate the rate of winter wheat development is demonstrated that leads to reduction of unfavorable outcomes risks.

Authors: Saleh S. , Murygina E. A. , Bome N. A.
Published: October 2024

Determining the tolerance of cultivated plants to salts is considered important and necessary in breeding practice in areas with primary and secondary soil salinization. This article examines the effect of salinity (NaCl) in laboratory conditions on the growth and development of plants of three varieties of winter rye (Chusovaya, Yantarnaya, Alisa) and the effectiveness of early diagnosis on resistance to the stress factor. The purpose of the study was to determine the resistance of winter rye varieties to chloride salinity based on the variability of morphophysiological characteristics under simulated conditions. Based on the identified differences in indicators characterizing the growth processes of plants in vegetation vessels in the control and on the substrate with NaCl, the varieties according to resistance to salt stress are distributed in the following order: Chusovaya, Yantarnaya, Alisa. The data obtained indicate the specificity of the response of varieties to a stress factor. It is shown that for a more objective characterization of genotypes for salt tolerance, a comprehensive study of traits (seed germination, morphometric parameters of shoots and roots, chlorophyll content in leaves, plant biomass) is necessary. The results of the study can be used in the selection of initial forms for the selection of winter rye, as well as in the cultivation of the studied varieties in different agro-ecological conditions.

Authors: Minevich I. E. , Ushchapovsky V. I. , Yakovleva A. A. , Zaitseva L. A.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. The recycling of secondary rapeseed raw materials is a perspective trend for increasing the efficiency of production of this agricultural crop.

Methods. Degreasing of the rapeseed kernel fraction was carried out by hexane extraction, wateralcohol treatment of the low—fat rapeseed kernel with a mixture of water + ethanol (3:7). The fractional composition of the rapeseed protein complex was determined by sequential extraction with distilled water, 7% NaCl solution and 0.1M NaOH solution. Protein isolation: extractant — NaCl solution (70 g/l), pH — 9.0, T — 50 °С, duration — 90 min. The protein was precipitated at pH 4.8 and dried in a microwave oven at 500 W for 3–4 minutes. Absorption spectra of protein fractions of rapeseed seeds were recorded on a PE-5400 UV spectrophotometer using the SC5400 program.

Results. It was shown that degreasing by hexane extraction contributed to an increase in the content of globulins (by 8.5%) with a decrease in albumins (by 3.0%) and glutelins (by 3.3%). Analysis of the UV spectra of these protein fractions showed the presence of synaptic acid in the fractions of albumins and globulins. The water-alcohol treatment of the skimmed rapeseed kernel, carried out to remove phenolic compounds, contributed to the partial removal of protein from the raw material (protein content decreased from 39.06 to 32.34%), limited protein denaturation, which leads to a decrease in protein solubility and protein yield in the extract, as indicated by a decrease in the yield of the protein product relative to the raw material from 26.4 to 15.3%, a decrease in protein yield relative to the protein contained in the raw material, from 28.9 to 20.3%.

Methodology. The research was carried out in 2 stages: in the 1st experiment, the effect on the digestibility of nutritional components of feed was studied as a result of the inclusion of waste from the fat and oil industry in the diet of goats in the amount of 5% hemp (QL) cake, in the 2nd experiment, the enzymatic probiotic drug “Cellobacterin+” (“Biotrof” LLC) was additionally included in the experimental group at a dosage of 10 g/goal /day.

Results. According to the research results, it was found that the inclusion of hemp cake in the diet of lactating goat goats did not have a negative effect on milk yield and milk quality, and contributed to a reduction in the cost of its production. The additional introduction of the probiotic drug “Cellobacterin+” into the diet contributed to an increase in milk yield in goats, in the conditions of the Southern Urals, and improved the chemical composition of milk, in particular, increased fat and protein content.
The quality of snaplage from an early ripening corn hybrid with biological inoculant and chemical preservatives
Authors: Belomozhnov T. D. , Klimenko V. P. , Malyarenko S. A.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of experiments on studying the preservative effect of various additives in the production of snaplage from early-ripening corn hybrids in the conditions of the Central region of the Russian Federation. After opening the containers with feed, its quality indicators were assessed by the content and ratio of organic acids, the degree of acidification, the content of ammonia nitrogen, the preservation of sugars and essential nutrients. In physiological experiments on Romanov wethers, the digestibility of nutrients was determined. It was found that in all variants, the acidity of the feed was optimal (pH 4.2 and below), which excluded the development of undesirable microbiota. At the same time, in the snaplage with chemical preservatives, acidification occurred due to formic and propionic acids introduced with the preparations and (partially) due to the fermentation of sugars. The results of the physiological experiment showed that the digestibility of dry matter of snaplage from the early-ripening hybrid corn Emelin was high (over 70.2%) in all variants, which also affected the energy value (over 11 MJ NE). Thus, for high-moisture snaplage from early-ripening corn hybrids in the Central region of Russia, it is possible to use both chemical preservatives based on organic acids and biological inoculants intended for the preservation of wet flattened grain, containing active strains of lactic acid bacteria.
Neuromorphic vision sensors for computer vision
Authors:   , Can Cuhadar
Published: October 2024

There have been significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past two decades, allowing such technologies to acquire popularity in both industry and academia. Face recognition software on Facebook or the iPhone, self-driving cars, and image recognition software are examples of AI applications that have become more prevalent in our daily lives. Computer vision, which is the study of enabling machines to gain a high-level understanding of images, such as pattern or object recognition, is a subfield of AI. Consequently, computer vision research has acquired significant importance. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have garnered a great deal of interest due to their exceptional performance in image classification. Due to the computer's hardware limitations for self-learning and parallel computing, even the most advanced software is presently incapable of imbuing machines with human cognitive skills. Despite the progress made in computer vision, there are still problems to be resolved. One challenge is object recognition under varying illumination conditions. In particular, changes in illumination conditions can contaminate CNN's image segmentation, leading to erroneous object detection. Even though this issue can be mitigated by using a larger CNN training set, the enormous computational and energy resources required to continuously execute CNN for always-on applications, such as surveillance or self-navigation, pose a significant challenge for battery-dependent mobile systems. To address this age-old issue, a novel optoelectronic sensor capable of automatically compensating for sudden variations in light exposure is demonstrated in this thesis, without the need for sophisticated object detection software. With this method, effective fault-tolerant object detection may be developed with little training data, low energy consumption, and low computational expenses. Another prominent issue in computer vision is occlusion, which occurs when an object's key features momentarily vanish behind another body, making image detection difficult for the computer. While the human brain is capable of compensating for the portions of a blocked object that are not visible, computers lack these scene interpretation skills. Typically, cloud computing with convolutional neural networks is the preferred method for managing such a scenario. However, cloud computing should be minimized for mobile applications where energy consumption and computational costs are crucial. In this regard, a novel computer vision sensor that can effectively detect and track covered objects on a hardware level without relying heavily on occlusion management software is proposed. The underlying mechanism that allows the emergence of these smart optoelectronic sensors will be discussed in detail in this thesis, laying the groundwork for the potential development of a new generation of edge-computing cameras that allow computer vision applications to be carried out in a more energy- and computationally-efficient way.
ПОНЯТТЯ НАФТОГАЗОВОГО ПРАВА
Authors: КІРІН Роман
Published: October 2024

У статті розглянуто питання, пов’язані із можливістю та доцільністю виокремлення нафтогазового права як комплексної галузі права. Метою цієї статті є формулювання поняття нафтогазового права України. Методологічну основу цього дослідження склали метод термінологічного аналізу, формально-юридичний метод, методи аналогії та абстрагування, а також інші загальнонаукові та спеціально-наукові методи. Обґрунтовано регулювання значної частини нафтогазових відносин нормами різних, «нафтогазозначущих» галузей, поєднане із об’єктивним існуванням системи норм, які регулюють нафтогазові відносини. Унікальність останніх виявляється у специфічних особливостях користування надрами в процесі геологічної розвідки, розробки родовищ та зберігання нафти і газу, своєрідності господарської діяльності із їх транспортування, переробки та реалізації. Виділено та розкрито підстави для виокремлення нафтогазової галузі права: – соціально-економічні; – теоретико-правові; – правотворчі. Узагальнено ознаки нафтогазового права: 1) комплексний характер галузі (міжгалузі) права; 2) юридична різнорідність, поєднана із соціальною цілісністю відносин, що є його предметом правового регулювання; 3) об'єктивна необхідність включення до предмету частини відносин, які за своєю природою не є нафтогазовими, але створюють відповідні передумови функціонування нафтогазових відносин; 4) полісуб'єктна природа галузі, норми якої регулюють відносини особливого складу нафтогазових суб'єктів; 5) міжпредметний (поліоб'єктний) зміст відносин, зумовлений диференціацією сфери основної та суміжної нафтогазової діяльності. Запропоновано під нафтогазовим правом розглядати спеціальну комплексну, інтегровану галузь права – систему правових норм, які регулюють та охороняють нафтогазові відносини, що виникають між нафтогазовими і суміжними суб'єктами з приводу організації та здійснення нафтогазової діяльності, пов'язаної із пошуком і видобутком з надр нафтогазових природних ресурсів та зберіганням, транспортуванням і реалізацією нафтогазової господарської продукції.

En este artículo se resumen los últimos desarrollos en el ámbito de la economía internacional presentados en el XIII Workshop in International Economics 2024 a través de un total de nueve ponencias de profesores e investigadores de las principales universidades americanas. Las sesiones, en interacción con los participantes, han tenido como nexo común los principales retos a los que se enfrenta la economía en un mundo globalizado pospandemia: la necesidad de una mayor autonomía estratégica industrial, el proceso de transición energética y la interacción de los comportamientos sociales sobre la economía. Las ponencias han tratado cuestiones como el impacto de la política industrial en el desarrollo económico, la complejidad económica y la interdependencia de las cadenas globales de valor, la función aceleradora del desarrollo derivada del comercio internacional y la importancia que tiene la tecnología. Otros aspectos novedosos han sido las líneas de investigación sobre la economía urbana y sobre economía social, en concreto, los sesgos vinculados al cumplimiento de los criterios ESG, las cuestiones de equidad en las políticas fiscales, el impacto de las ideologías de suma cero y las implicaciones de la introducción de nuevos métodos de pago y criptomonedas. El uso de nuevas técnicas, como la modelización con big data y las encuestas, ha sido un elemento destacado en estos nuevos desarrollos de la ciencia económica.

Published: October 2024

In this research, a situation where blocking is required for a split lot design in order to tease out noise from the dependent variable (prevent factors other than that of interest influencing the outcome) was considered. Blocking for every stage of the design is administered, an elaborate construction procedure for the design was developed by infusing the ordinary split-lot design into a Sudoku Square design structure, the hybridisation gave it a convenient structure for the research. The linear model and the sum of squares of the design were derived, the ANOVA table was constructed and the table was used to analyse the whole system. The clear advantage of this design has been observed to be the additional source of variation, because the introduction of the Block Sum of Squares will reduce the Error Sum of Squares as a result makes it more efficient, but the fact that precision and cost are both functions of the number of sublots per step as well as the total number of items, comparison is complicated. The new design provides greater precision for main effects.

Published: October 2024

The transition from secondary education to the first year of higher education is a phase in which students are faced with many challenges. First-year students may lack the academic capital that is needed to understand explicit and implicit rules of higher education. We investigated students’ participation in a preacademic program and the development of their academic capital. In a mixed method study, we showed that first-year students who participated in a preacademic program perceived peer mentors and teachers to be relevant sources of information, learned how to overcome educational barriers, and became more acquainted with explicit and implicit college requirements.
Cognitive Complexity and Degree Planning: Student Perceptions of and Needs From Technology Tools
Authors: Karp Melinda , Heiser Ciji
Published: October 2024

Colleges around the country have adopted technology tools to simplify planning and registration processes and provide interventions to support students’ timely completion. However, there is little evidence of these tools’ efficacy in improving student progression and completion (c.f., Rossman et al., 2021; Velasco et al., 2020). The minimal impact of advising and planning technologies on student success is amplified among institutions supporting the students who make up the new majority of postsecondary learners—those who are Black, Latine, Indigenous, and/or low-income (BLI/LI). One possible reason for this is that such tools were not designed with the needs of this population in mind. Using process map and focus group data from students at two broad-access universities, coupled with interview data from institutional stakeholders, this study interrogates the ways that BLI/LI students engage in academic planning. We find that this process is more cognitively complex and nuanced than is typically acknowledged; program planning tools do not include the information BLI/LI students require; and low-income college students are particularly disadvantaged by these tools. As such, we find support for the hypothesis that current tools’ efficacy is muted because they do not center the needs of BLI/LI students in their design.
The Role of Postsecondary Students’ Citizenship/Residency Status in Facing Basic Needs Insecurity
Authors: Jangjou Elmira
Published: October 2024

Despite the increasing awareness of basic needs insecurity and its adverse impacts on students’ academic achievement and wellbeing, the racial and social inequities in these experiences remain a critical issue requiring scholarly attention. Using the #RealCollege Survey Dataset, this study investigates the prevalence of basic needs insecurity among postsecondary students according to their citizenship/residency status and reveals that students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents (NCPR) are disproportionately affected by basic needs insecurity. It also explores several barriers to these students’ basic needs security, including, but not limited to, the reasons why some students do not use campus resources (e.g., not knowing how to apply). The findings of this study suggest that addressing the barriers to students’ basic needs security requires considering multiple intersecting identities, including citizenship/residency status. The paper concludes by providing recommendations for future research, policy, and practice on how higher education institutions can and should appropriately address the related issues and provide adequate support based on students’ unique circumstances.

A CIDADE LOCAL E A REDE URBANA INTERIORIZADA: ASSÚ/RN EM ANÁLISE
Authors: Soares Ildson Carlos dos Santos , Silva Rafael Pereira da
Published: October 2024

A rede urbana pode ser entendida como uma articulação mútua entre as cidades que se estabelece a partir dos fluxos de pessoas, mercadorias, capitais e informações. Os estudos sobre rede urbana têm priorizado análises que contemplam prioritariamente cidades médias, grandes cidades e metrópoles, devido a esta carência, torna-se relevante os estudos com foco nas cidades locais, no intuito de compreender o papel por elas desempenhado na rede urbana. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender a participação da cidade de Assú na composição e reestruturação da rede urbana estabelecida no Rio Grande do Norte. Para tanto, utilizamos como metodologia uma breve revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, baseada nas obras de Silveira (2003), Santos (2003, 2005, 2006, 2013, 2018) Coelho (2013) Corrêa (2012, 2015, 2016), Dias (2000, 2020), Catelan (2013), Bezerra (2016). Para pensar a inserção de Assú na rede urbana potiguar, a pesquisa se apoiou em dados secundários como a oferta dos serviços de saúde (DATASUS), acesso ao ensino superior (UERN e FACESA), comércio e os serviços bancários. Posteriormente, iniciamos a análise dos dados, para espacializá-los foram elaborados mapas de fluxo com o uso da ferramenta de geoprocessamento Quantum Gis 3.10 (Qgis 3.10). Atualmente, observamos que Assú atua como uma cidade centralizadora de fluxos, refletindo a sua atuação na rede urbana interiorizada do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, assim configurando na sua organização espacial.

Published: October 2024

No município de Mossoró/RN, cerca de 70% da demanda do Sistema de Abastecimento de Água - SAA é atendida pela água subterrânea do aquífero Açu através de captação via poços tubulares. O local pesquisado corresponde a um bairro localizado na área urbana do município de Mossoró, identificado como Abolição (Abolição I, II, III, IV e V). Em virtude da sua grande importância para o abastecimento, destinado para consumo da população, torna-se necessário o monitoramento regular para a obtenção de dados, que visem dar suporte ao processo de gerenciamento do aquífero localizado sob a cidade. Com isso, este trabalho tem por objetivo caracterizar o uso e captação das águas subterrâneas no bairro Abolição e analisar a situação das obras de captação. Diante disso, foram utilizados dados secundários do Sistema de Informação de Águas Subterrâneas - SIAGAS e Companhia de Água e Esgoto do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte – CAERN e, dados primários a partir de uma etapa de campo. A pesquisa identificou que os usos das águas subterrâneas do bairro podem ser de 4 tipos distintos, contudo o uso se apresenta de forma mais intensa para o abastecimento urbano. A captação ocorre 100% através de poços tubulares que possuem a profundidade entre 140 metros a 1.000 metros, além disso, foi possível identificar que cerca de 56% dos poços se encontram inativos na área de estudo. A pesquisa busca contribuir na atualização de informações importantes no gerenciamento das águas subterrâneas locais, visando proporcionar melhorias no processo de uso e captação.
