Published: November 2024

Background

Regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercises are crucial for patients with lung cancer after surgery. However, poor adherence to outpatient exercises is difficult to address due to inadequate supervision. The integration of remote symptom management through electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) offers a potential solution to improve adherence by enabling more effective monitoring and intervention.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the impact of ePRO-based remote symptom management on enhancing adherence to outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation exercises following video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer.

Methods

In this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial, 736 patients undergoing minimally invasive lung resection will be recruited. All patients will use a smartphone app for perioperative management, allowing periodic PRO measurement and recording of exercise participation. Upon discharge, patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 into either an intervention or control group. The intervention group will complete the Perioperative Symptom Assessment for Patients Undergoing Lung Surgery (PSA-Lung) scale on the day of discharge and postdischarge days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Alerts will be triggered at the provider side if any of the 5 core symptoms (pain, cough, shortness of breath, sleep disturbance, and fatigue) scored ≥4, prompting remote symptom management. The control group will complete the PRO measures without triggering alerts. The primary outcome is the rehabilitation exercise adherence rate. Secondary outcomes include postdischarge pulmonary complication rate, 30-day readmission rate, trajectory of symptom severity changes, exercise participation rate, and patient satisfaction.

Results

The enrollment of study participants started in December 2023 and is expected to end in March 2025. The final comprehensive analysis of the results is planned for May 2025, after all data have been collected and thoroughly reviewed.

Conclusions

This study is among the first to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of ePRO-based remote symptom management in enhancing rehabilitation adherence after video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer. If successful, this approach could significantly influence postoperative care practices and potentially be adopted in similar settings.

Religion is absolute in Kannada literature
Authors: Puttaswamy Puttaswamy
Published: November 2024

Religion, human beings’ relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, absolute, spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It is also commonly regarded as consisting of the way people deal with ultimate concerns about their lives and their fate after death. In many traditions, this relation and these concerns are expressed in terms of one’s relationship with or attitude toward gods or spirits; in more humanistic or naturalistic forms of religion, they are expressed in terms of one’s relationship with or attitudes toward the broader human community or the natural world. In many religions, texts are deemed to have scriptural status, and people are esteemed to be invested with spiritual or moral authority. Believers and worshippers participate in and are often enjoined to perform devotional or contemplative practices such as prayer, meditation, or particular rituals. Worship, moral conduct, right belief, and participation in religious institutions are among the constituent elements of the religious life. The subject of religion is discussed in a number of articles. For treatment of major and historical religious traditions.

Targeting nuc Gene for Detection of Staphylococcus aureus from Bovine Milk Samples of Assam, India and Phenotypic Identification of Antibiotic Resistance - A New Insight
Authors: Gogoi Mrigakshi , Chetia Pankaj , Pegu Raj Kumar , Roy Jayanti Datta
Published: November 2024

Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of milk-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide, and it is often contaminated by enterotoxigenic and antimicrobial-resistant S. aureus strains. The current research work was intended to identify the prevalence of S. aureus from samples of bovine milk from various dairy farms and local vendors of Kamrup Metro District, Assam, India, by phenotypic and genotypic identification along with antibiotic resistance profiling. The conventional aseptic methods were implemented for S. aureus isolation from milk in Baird Parker Agar, supplemented with egg yolk and potassium tellurite. Further, the isolates confirmation was carried out using the automated VITEK system and amplification of the S. aureus specific nuc gene by PCR. Antibiotic susceptibility profiling for variety of 16 antibiotics was obtained through the conventional disc diffusion method. Eighty-five presumptive isolates with jet-black colonies with a white halo on Baird Parker Agar were selected. Thirty-eight isolates were eventually confirmed as S. aureus by the automated method and the detection of nuc gene. Antibiotic profiling revealed about 60.52% of the isolates to be multidrug resistant and 55.26a ± 0.01 mm resistant against Kanamycin. The statistical analysis data expressed correlation between Penicillin G and Ampicillin with 42.10b ± 0.01 mm and correlation among Tetracycline, Methicillin and Streptomycin with 10.52h ± 0.01 mm, respectively. Resistance against Kanamycin, Trimethoprim, Cloxacillin, and Nalidixic acid is concerning as such a resistant pattern has not been extensively reported in bovine milk samples in India, which could indicate the possible emergence of MDR S. aureus strains in the study area.

Probiotics are microorganisms that are safe and stable under product development conditions and are used as adjuncts to food and drugs to promote health, including the acceleration of nutrient digestion. Here, we present evidence on the ability of two isolates, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei BCRC-16100 and L. paracasei ZFM54, to (1) enhance carbohydrate digestion, (2) tolerate processing conditions, and (3) demonstrate safety in terms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). These approaches include whole-genome sequence (WGS) analysis, gene expression, and bioactivity assays. WGS revealed genes encoding enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion, tolerance to processing conditions, and AMR. The ability of the two strains to digest carbohydrates was confirmed by glucose release when cultured alongside starch. The isolates also showed versatility across a range of temperatures and alcohol concentrations, indicating their suitability for product development. Genes cause AMR, particularly against vancomycin, through three mechanisms: transporter control, transcriptional regulation, and efflux pumps. Furthermore, promoter, gene expression, and transposable element analyses showed that some upregulated AMR genes in the presence of antimicrobials were transposable. Altogether, we show the potential of the two isolates for incorporation into products as probiotics to improve carbohydrate digestion, while considering precautions regarding mobile AMR genes that may compromise safety.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) among different microorganisms has become a serious issue and contributing to cause severe diseases. Proper monitoring measures should be taken to improve the current scenario of antimicrobial resistance. The present study focuses on identification, antimicrobial resistance profiling and virulence factors of bacterial isolates recovered from various human clinical cases. Total 350 clinical samples were collected from a public hospital in Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) and a private diagnostic centre in Mohali (Punjab). K. pneumoniae (51.42%) and E. coli (44.57%) were recovered from all the sample sources while S. aureus (3.15%) and Bacillus spp. (0.86%) were isolated from urine samples only. Overall maximum resistance was observed against ampicillin (94.28%), amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (90.5%), cefepime (88%) and ceftriaxone (80.18%) while it was minimum for cefoperazone (0.85%), kanamycin (1.14%), lomefloxacin and norfloxacin (1.42% each) and cefixime (1.71%). 52.28% isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) and 13.42% were extensive drug resistant (XDR). Drug resistant phenotypes were prominently observed in isolates recovered from tracheal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The expression of selective virulence factors like motility, lipase, protease and capsule production was evenly associated with drug-resistant and drug-sensitive bacterial phenotypes; however, siderophore and biofilm production was only seen among isolates with drug resistant phenotype. A significant relation between both the variables was statistically confirmed using chi-square test and the probability value (p < 0.05) for calculated c2 of 43.28 with degree of freedom 10. Occurrence of MDR and XDR bacterial strains among clinical samples bring on economic burden on health system as well as on patient in terms of longer hospital stays and treatment delays.

Published: November 2024

Exserohilum turcicum is an emerging pathogen of maize causing the northern leaf blight (NLB) disease with severe losses. The disease prevails all over the area under production but has varying severity. A temperature of 13°C to 33°C, along with 75-84% relative humidity, favours the pathogen development and growth. Thus, the present investigation was carried out to assess the prevalence of the disease in Bihar and the cultural, morphological, and pathogenic variability among the population through extensive field surveys conducted in maize-growing areas of seven major maize-producing districts of Bihar, India. A total of twenty-one isolates were identified as E. turcicum, which showed varying colony characteristics, colony margin, margin colour, pigmentation, growth pattern, sporulation, conidial shape, conidial size, and conidial septa. However, all the isolates produced characteristic symptoms of cigar-shaped necrotic lesions with variation in disease reaction on the leaves of susceptible maize inbred line CM-202. The isolates were categorized into three phylogenetic clusters with a coefficient of 0.42 based on their variations. A similar trend was observed, and three clusters with a coefficient of 0.52 were confirmed based on the disease reaction under field conditions. The isolates constituting Cluster I were deemed high virulent, followed by Cluster II as moderate virulent, and Cluster III as low virulent. All the isolates were further identified as Setosphaeria turcica, a teleomorph stage of E. turcicum, through molecular identification using ITS sequence analysis. Conclusively, a higher variability among the pathogen population was present, thus leading to the disease emergence, and their virulence assessment will aid in the identification of races and simultaneously accelerate the resistance breeding programmes in maize.

Greater wax moth (GWM), Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a destructive pest of honeybee hives. They lay eggs in the bee hives; and the hatched larvae feed on beeswax. The unique ability of GWM to digest the beeswax that contains ethene (CH2=CH2) bond has attracted attention because the same bond is also present in plastic polymers. Polymer-digesting ability, being a very uncommon among animals, we suspected a assistive role of gut bacteria of the insect in the process. The present study aimed to isolate and characterize potential polymer-degrading bacteria from GWM gut, following a culture-dependent approach, and to characterize them morphologically, biochemically, and with 16S rDNA sequences. We also intended to study polymer-degrading abilities of those bacteria, and check the presence of esterase, one of the most potent enzymes involved in plastic polymer degradation, using tributyrin agar test. We found nine bacterial isolates from GMW gut. Out of them, six showed positive results for plastic degradation to varying extents (19.3-31.2%), after 30 days of co-culture with plastic sheets. The esterase enzyme was found to be present in all of them in a qualitative test. Through
16S rDNA sequencing, four isolates were identified as gram-negative Serratia marcescens strains, one as gram-negative Ralstonia pickettii and one as gram-positive Bacillus cereus, some of which are known potential polymer degraders. Therefore, our hypothesis of involvement of gut bacteria in the digestion of polymers by Greater wax moth larvae was perhaps correct. There is possibility of exploiting the bacterial isolates for plastic-pollution remediation; after deeper and further experimentation.

Published: November 2024

Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection involving the keratinized tissues. Limited dermatophytosis is usually treated with topical antifungals. Amorolfine and luliconazole are relatively newer and superior topical antifungals much in use in recent times. To study the therapeutic efficacy and safety of luliconazole 1% and amorolfine 0.25% cream in patients with tinea cruris. A single-center, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study comparing luliconazole and amorolfine was conducted on patients with localized tinea cruris. 81 patients completed the study, with 40 patients treated with luliconazole and 41 patients treated with amorolfine. Both groups of patients were followed up at the end of 2 weeks. No statistically significant difference was found between luliconazole and amorolfine regarding improvement in erythema, scaling, pruritus, and mycological cure. Both the medications were safe and well tolerated by the patients. The duration of the study was short, and there was no long-term follow-up. Amorolfine is not inferior to luliconazole in treating limited tinea cruris.

Earthquakes, one of nature’s most spectacular events, can have far-reaching consequences for the population, including fatalities and injuries. Secondary effects, most notably landslides, tsunamis, and considerable ground motion and coseismal occurrences, are blamed for the ensuing calamities. These factors have the potential to exacerbate the already dire situation by creating conditions favourable to the spread of infectious diseases, which could cause even more casualties and delay relief efforts. This review presents a thorough narrative analysis of the literature on infectious diseases triggered by earthquakes in different regions of the world. It includes discussing the symptoms, causative agents, risk factors, and prevention strategies. Infections of the respiratory system, digestive system, and skin, as well as those transmitted by vectors, are the most common types of sickness among persons affected by the earthquake. In addition, methods are proposed for effectively preventing infectious diseases brought on by earthquakes. A robust channel for tracking and monitoring is required to detect infectious diseases in case of disaster before and after their occurrence. This strategy significantly aids in tracking epidemics, checking the accuracy of early warnings, and bolstering relief and restoration efforts.

Published: November 2024

Tomato cultivation faces significant challenges from foliar fungal diseases such as early blight caused by Alternaria spp., resulting in substantial reduction in yield. In this study, we examined the suppressive effects of the antagonistic fungus Clonostachys rosea on early blight of tomato under controlled experimental conditions. The results of dual culture experiments revealed the inhibitory effects of five C. rosea isolates on Alternaria spp., with the TNAU CR04 isolate exhibiting the highest inhibition (77.22%). Scanning electron microscopy provided good insight into antagonistic effects of C. rosea against A. alternata, revealing hyphal interactions and structural alterations. Further investigations focused on the suppression of Alternaria alternata mycelial growth (86.78%) by culture filtrates of C. rosea. The results revealed that TNAU CR04 at a 50% concentration strongly inhibited mycelial growth. Through GC-MS analysis, we identified key compounds involved in the interaction between C. rosea TNAU CR04 and A. alternata, shedding light on metabolic pathways and defense mechanisms. Overall, this study showed that C. rosea and its metabolites strongly act against Alternaria spp., revealing its mode of action and mechanisms underlying disease suppression in tomato plants.

Tight concentration inequalities for quantum adversarial setups exploiting permutation symmetry
Authors: Matsuura Takaya , Yamano Shinichiro , Kuramochi Yui , Sasaki Toshihiko , Koashi Masato
Published: November 2024

We developed new concentration inequalities for a quantum state on an N-qudit system or measurement outcomes on it that apply to an adversarial setup, where an adversary prepares the quantum state. Our one-sided concentration inequalities for a quantum state require the N-qudit system to be permutation invariant and are thus de-Finetti type, but they are tighter than the one previously obtained. We show that the bound can further be tightened if each qudit system has an additional symmetry. Furthermore, our concentration inequality for the outcomes of independent and identical measurements on an N-qudit quantum system has no assumption on the adversarial quantum state and is much tighter than the conventional one obtained through Azuma's inequality. We numerically demonstrate the tightness of our bounds in simple quantum information processing tasks.

Published: November 2024

We introduce and experimentally test a machine-learning-based method for ranking logically equivalent quantum circuits based on expected performance estimates derived from a training procedure conducted on real hardware. We apply our method to the problem of layout selection, in which abstracted qubits are assigned to physical qubits on a given device. Circuit measurements performed on IBM hardware indicate that the maximum and median fidelities of logically equivalent layouts can differ by an order of magnitude. We introduce a circuit score used for ranking that is parameterized in terms of a physics-based, phenomenological error model whose parameters are fit by training a ranking-loss function over a measured dataset. The dataset consists of quantum circuits exhibiting a diversity of structures and executed on IBM hardware, allowing the model to incorporate the contextual nature of real device noise and errors without the need to perform an exponentially costly tomographic protocol. We perform model training and execution on the 16-qubit ibmq_guadalupe device and compare our method to two common approaches: random layout selection and a publicly available baseline called Mapomatic. Our model consistently outperforms both approaches, predicting layouts that exhibit lower noise and higher performance. In particular, we find that our best model leads to a 1.8× reduction in selection error when compared to the baseline approach and a 3.2× reduction when compared to random selection. Beyond delivering a new form of predictive quantum characterization, verification, and validation, our results reveal the specific way in which context-dependent and coherent gate errors appear to dominate the divergence from performance estimates extrapolated from simple proxy measures.
Calculating deviation of laser pulses at ranging artificial Earth satellites considering its gravitational field
Authors: Mazurova E.M. , Petrov A.N.
Published: November 2024

Accurate laser location of artificial Earth satellites (AES) makes it possible to obtain valuable information on the dynamic parameters of the Earth, its gravitational fields, and to clarify the global coordinates of the system. The effect of laser pulses deviation at the ranging AES is studied. The angle of deviation is formed between directions of emitted and returned signals at the point of the laser station’s location. The main contribution into the value of the angle is conditioned by relativity theory effects connected with non-inertiality of the station frame on the rotating Earth surface. In this article, the value of the deviation angle is calculated considering the Earth’s gravitational field that was not considered in previous works. Exactness of necessary approximations enables modelling a motion of AES by Keplerian orbits. The gravitational field of the Earth is described by the Schwarzschild solution, in the framework of which equations for the laser pulse trajectories are presented. All the calculations are made in the coordinates of the proper frame of the station. The obtained variation of the main deviation angle value is less for three orders with respect to the one that can be detected by the modern devices. Therefore, we can state that it should not be taken into account. Such a conclusion is very important for developments in this field because simpler methods, including analytical ones, are permissible. The efficiency of the numerical calculations of the effect for concrete AES remains high as well
A novel optimized deep learning based intrusion detection framework for an IoT networks
Authors: P. Jagdish Kumar  , S. Neduncheliyan
Published: November 2024

The burgeoning importance of Internet of Things (IoT) and its diverse applications have sparked significant interest in study circles. The inherent diversity within IoT networks renders them suitable for a myriad of real-time applications, firmly embedding them into the fabric of daily life. While IoT devices streamline various activities, their susceptibility to security threats is a glaring concern. Current inadequacies in security measures render IoT networks vulnerable, presenting an enticing target for attackers. This study suggests a novel dealing to address this challenge through the execution of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) leveraging superior deep learning models. Inspired by the benefits of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), we introduce the Genetic Bee LSTM(GBLSTM) networks for the development of intelligent IDS capable of detecting a wide range of cyber-attacks targeting IoT area. The methodology comprises four key execution: (i) collection of unit for profiling normal IoT device behavior, (ii) Identification of malicious devices during an attack, (iii) Prediction of attack types implemented in the network. Intensive experimentations of the suggested IDS are conducted using various validation methods and prominent metrics across different IoT threat scenarios. Moreover, comprehensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the suggested models alongside existing learning models. The results demonstrate that the GBLSTM-models outperform other intellectual models in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall, underscoring their efficacy in securing IoT networks.
Emigrantica of Nikolai Rusanov before and after 1917
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Stroganov Mikhail V.
Published: November 2024

Nikolai Rusanov, an outstanding figure of the Narodniks and socialist-revolutionary organizations, spent two-thirds of his creative life in emigration and only one-third in Russia, and the emigrant period can clearly be split into two parts: under the tsarist government and under the Soviet system. Technically, Rusanov's work in both periods should be recognized as emigration. But there is undoubted and fundamental difference between these periods, based on the fact which reader the works of a particular period are addressed to. What Rusanov wrote abroad during the tsarist period was addressed to a reader living in the metropolis, and was assumed to get his response. What Rusanov wrote abroad during the Soviet period was addressed to a reader who lived in the diaspora, and did not imply a response from the reader of the metropolis. In addition, there are two more differences between these periods. During the tsarist time, Rusanov was also published in Russia (primarily in the “Russian Wealth” magazine), although using pseudonyms, which did not deceive the investigative bodies of the government. In Soviet Russia Rusanov was not published due to the lack of editions suitable for his texts. Only two of his emigrant texts (memoirs) appeared in print, but were indispensably accompanied by disavowing comments from the Soviet historians. Thus, it is necessary to raise the question of the difference that existed between emigrants before and after 1917, although this requires the study of similar figures and situations.
Manuscript Notes about Ivan Bunin from the Documental Fund of A.S. Golovina (the Slavic Library of Meudon)
Authors:   Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University, Garziano Svetlana
Published: November 2024

Many representatives of the first wave Russian emigration often used the method of recording their thoughts on book margins. The article analyzes handwritten notes about Ivan Bunin in the books and periodicals belonging to A.S. Golovina, a poet of the younger emigrant generation. After her death, her second husband, Belgian baron Philippe Gillès de Pélichy, transfers part of A. Golovina’s library, which, according to memories, contained about 7,000 books, to the Slavic Museum of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Meudon, which is currently kept in the Jesuit Slavic fund of the Diderot library (Lyon, France). The poet has left a certain imprint on many of the books and magazines that belonged to her library: handwritten notes, signatures, dedications, photographs, newspaper clippings. The theme “Bunin and A. Golovina” is in many ways fundamental for the study of the poet's own work, but it also contributes to Bunin studies. In particular, the author of the paper describes the notes found in the 10th volume of Petropolis edition, on the “Cursed Days” pages.

Iulii Aikhenval'd’s Publications about the "Literary NEP" and the Response to Them in the Metropoly Criticism
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kochergina Irina V.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes in detail a series of publications by critic Iulii Aikhenval'd, dedicated to the so-called “literary NEP”: a note on the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party “On the policy of the party in the field of fiction” and reviews of a number of Soviet literature works. The article examines the responses to these publications in the metropolis criticism and journalism: the articles by Leopold Averbakh and Vladimir Kirshon. An attempt is made to analyze the reasons for the appearance of such sharply hostile responses, emanating primarily from the leaders of VAPP (All-Union Association of Proletarian Writers). Along the way, the position of VAPP members in connection with this Resolution is considered. Particular attention is paid to the internal political and ideological reasons for the appearance of Averbakh's article “Living Corpse” and its detailed analysis is given. The responses to this publication in the emigrant press are also affected.
P.A. Kutepov — the Son of A.P. Kutepov
Authors: Ravdin Boris A.
Published: November 2024

The article is dedicated to the life of Pavel Kutepov (1925, Paris — 1983, Moscow), son of a prominent representative of Russian military emigration, general A.P. Kutepov, who disappeared in Paris in January 1930. Most likely general Kutepov was kidnapped by Soviet special services as an active adversary of the Soviet authority establishment in the new Russia. The attention of emigrant press to his son as a successor of father's ideas and activities is analyzed. The article condisers Pavel Kutepov and his mother’s stay in Riga (1933–1936), studies at the Russian Cadet Corps in Yugoslavia (1936–1943), participating in the World War II as a member of the Russian Protective Corps acting on the side of Germany (1943–1944), transferring to the side of Red Army (1944), arrest and ten years of detention, as well as many years of P. Kutepov’s working as an employee of the Department of External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate (1960–1983).
The Effect of Regulatory Burden on the Effectiveness of Intergovernmental Collaborations: The Case of Subnational Partnerships for Managing International Cooperation
Authors: Zambrano Julio C , Avellaneda Claudia N.
Published: November 2024

With the goal of improving effectiveness and efficiency, worldwide cross-sector collaboration has become a central governance arrangement. Given this trend, research has focused on illustrating examples of collaborations over time and/or identifying collaboration’s drivers and effects. Yet, as cross-sector collaborations are more prevalent, governments have changed the rules for civil society organizations to become part of cross-sector collaboration across policy domains. While some regulations can be seen as a precondition to start a collaboration, over-regulated contexts can become a burden for participating organizations, thus hindering collaboration sustainability. However, little knowledge exists as to how regulatory changes influence performance effects of cross-sector collaboration. To fill this gap, this research focuses on all the 2007-2018 Ecuadorian subnational partnerships that manage international cooperation to test whether adoption of further regulations or regulatory burden targeting civil society organizations compromises the amount of international aid subnational governments secure. We also expect that the economic diversity in a jurisdiction amplifies the performance effects of regulatory burden. Findings suggest that regulatory burden negatively influenced governance capacity to obtain international aid, particularly in jurisdictions with high economic diversity.
Poder local e gestão pública em um pequeno município paraibano
Authors: Nascimento Anderson Rafael
Published: November 2024

Márcia Lucena é professora e foi prefeita de Conde/PB na gestão de 2016 a 2020. Ela se notabilizou e ganhou projeção por suas ações inovadoras e participativas à frente da prefeitura. Conde está situado na região metropolitana de João Pessoa/PB e tem em seu território quilombos, tribos indígenas, um pequeno núcleo urbano e uma faixa litorânea com belas praias e grande interesse imobiliário. Conde é um retrato do Brasil em que convivem o passado e o futuro, o arcaico e o moderno, ora como disputa, ora como mutualismo. A entrevista foi realizada ao longo do primeiro semestre de 2021 e apresenta elementos para compreender o desafio de propor um governo inovador e participativo em um pequeno município, e sobre como lidar com aspectos da continuidade do passado. As respostas de Márcia Lucena demonstram a profundidade das relações patrimonialistas no poder local e como trazem desafios para a gestão pública. Enfrentar esses temas pode ser um campo de análise para a discussão do Estado e da política pública integrados à realidade brasileira.
COMPRAS PÚBLICAS SUSTENTÁVEIS NO BRASIL: HISTÓRICO E UMA PROPOSTA DE TAXONOMIA
Authors: SOBRAL NONATO RAQUEL
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo explicar de que forma as Compras Públicas Sustentáveis (CPS) têm sido operacionalizadas no contexto brasileiro. Embora tenha ganhado espaço na agenda política brasileira nos últimos anos, o caminho para aplicabilidade das compras públicas sustentáveis parece ainda em construção, sobretudo pelos limites institucionais e operacionais, além dos diferentes sentidos atribuídos às noções de sustentabilidade e ao próprio papel do Estado assimilados pelos atores. A partir de revisão sistemática da literatura e da legislação disponível, o estudo traçou um histórico dos principais eventos que acompanharam a trajetória e evolução institucional das compras públicas no Brasil e desenvolveu uma proposta de taxonomia dos modelos de compras públicas sustentáveis aplicados pela administração pública no período recente. Ao mobilizar referencial teórico que articula conceitos de desenvolvimento sustentável, sustentabilidade e ação pública demonstrou-se a utilidade do instrumento em identificar os principais atributos de sustentabilidade inseridos nas referidas práticas bem como foi possível estabelecer critérios para analisar ações públicas que tenham nas compras públicas seu nodo articulador.

As simulações e modelos são um poderoso instrumento educacional que permite ao estudante uma atividade prática diferente da tradicionalmente vivenciada na sala de aula, propiciando o melhoramento do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, por meio de uma vivência mais abrangente dos objetos de estudo. Este artigo apresenta um projeto de ensino de inovação pedagógica que visa aplicar a atividade de simular dentro do curso de Relações Internacionais e suas disciplinas, treinar os monitores bolsistas e voluntários para a formatação de um modelo de simulação de Organizações Internações. Esse instrumento de aprendizagem ativa é estruturado por meio de ferramentas virtuais, devido à pandemia do Covid-19. A partir da avaliação e acompanhamento dos envolvidos no projeto por meio dos relatórios mensais, dos produtos do projeto (como os guias, manuais, estatutos e dos próprios eventos realizados) e o debriefing (questionário de avaliação), foram analisados os resultados em relação às contribuições do projeto para o aprimoramento da aprendizagem dos conceitos e teorias de Relações Internacionais e a construção de uma rede de colação entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão dentro do curso. As avaliações indicaram que o instrumento foi considerado altamente positivo pelos participantes, auxiliando no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, aumentando o engajamento com as atividades do curso e diminuindo as perspectivas de evasão.

O presente diagnóstico de atuação institucional objetivou compreender quais são os elementos presentes na tríade: desenvolvimento local, articulação e relacionamento institucional considerando o fortalecimento do sistema CNDL e a sua representatividade no setor lojista por meio de uma investigação do tipo descritiva e exploratória realizada com as Câmaras de Dirigentes Lojistas (CDLs) (n=140) e as Federações das Câmaras de Dirigentes Lojistas (FCDLs) (n=20), distribuídas nas cinco regiões do país: Norte, Sul, Centro-Oeste, Sudeste e Nordeste. Não obstante, o trabalho realizado não se constitui como manual ou check list, mas um instrumento à gestão e para composição de diretrizes e orientações para novas tomadas de ação a serem implementadas no sistema CNDL.

Capitalismo e patriarcado
Authors: Recalcatti de Andrade Aline
Published: November 2024

Os elementos relacionais entre o campo das Relações Internacionais na América Latina com a teoria feminista marxista podem ser articulados pelas seguintes conceitualizações e teorizações: patriarcado, como sistema determinante e determinado pelo capitalismo como analisado pela teoria unitária, e a especificidade do capitalismo dependente latino-americano, ambos relacionados com a questão da reprodução social. Tal é a hipótese do presente artigo que se trata de uma pesquisa inicial, de caráter teórico, sobre o tema de analisar as Relações Internacionais na América Latina pelas lentes da teoria feminista marxista. Busca-se, por meio da metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica, desenvolver a questão apontando quais são as principais categorias desenvolvidas pelo feminismo marxista que permite pensar a América Latina, sintetizando o que é essa corrente de pensamento e articulando-a com as particularidades em relação ao patriarcado. Na segunda parte do trabalho, para articular diretamente Relações Internacionais e feminismo marxista na América Latina, ressalta-se a teoria marxista da dependência desenvolvida na seção anterior focando na questão do gênero, trazendo abordagens de segurança e economia política internacional, com exemplos de pesquisas científicas que permitem pensar as Relações Internacionais, através especificamente dessa corrente do marxismo.
