The aim of this work was to evaluate the gaps, trends and advances in the uses of the concepts of flood pulse and climate change through the analysis of scientometrics in Limnology in the Pantanal, between the years 1990 to 2021. The most studied ecological groups and rivers were: aquatic macrophytes and phytoplankton, and Cuiabá and Paraguai, respectively, with the highest number of article publications between 2016-2020. The temporal dynamics of social networks showed the presence of new local institutions, from other Brazilian and international states in the last 20 years. Studies on climate change are still incipient, while those related to the flood pulse are more frequent in the Pantanal. Trends and advances were found in the ecosystem approach of the flood pulse, related to the height of the water level. Few studies address the flood pulse in terms of duration and frequency. The flood pulse is shown as a consolidated concept, emerging as a highly sensitive tool in the face of short, medium and long-term environmental changes, such as climate change, making it possible to identify and deal with socio-environmental challenges and point out participatory governance mechanisms.

Studies of population stability in shallow lakes are yet to explain how fishless ponds, with high algae productivity, can have stable zooplankton-algae populations throughout the year. These studies have traditionally overlooked the role of benthic-pelagic coupling, a phenomenon that has noticeable effects on population stability in aquatic environments. We analyzed a simple model to show that benthic-pelagic habitat coupling can explain discrepancies between the behavior of classical predator-prey models and the patterns observed in natural aquatic systems. We used a Lotka-Volterra type model of zooplankton and algae, explicitly modeled as phytoplankton and periphyton. Zooplankton could eat in both algal compartments, presenting a multi-chain omnivore configuration, whereas phytoplankton and periphyton engage in exploitative competition as system support capacity increases. We also modeled the algal exchange among compartments. Our model results show that (1) zooplankton—algae systems tend to be stable up to high nutrient values at intermediate degrees of omnivory, that (2) algae exchange among compartments may dampen stability and that (3) exploratory competition between phytoplankton and the periphyton can also decrease stability. The model results are supported by empirical results available in the literature. Despite the limitations of the modeling approach, our results emphasize the role of habitat coupling and contribute to deepening the understanding of the processes and mechanisms capable of promoting the stability of population dynamics in shallow lakes
Understanding the Importance of Information Systems Implementation in Organization’s Effectiveness: A Comparative Study on Two Swedish Organizations
Authors: Dalipi Fisnik , Skagne Felix
Published: July 2022

Information systems (IS) exist in order to intensify the information flow within an organization, at all levels, specifically to allow set of data to reach the designated person, in the right format, and at the right time, generating a positive and beneficial contribution to the organization. Therefore, it is essential to investigate their intended purpose and how they affect the organization's effectiveness in particular. This paper aims to investigate two different implementations of information systems in two organizations and understand the impact these implementations have on the respective organization’s effectiveness. We use three antecedents, namely, time-saving, workload, and system reliability, to distinguish users’ perceptions and experience with the system and how they affect the organization’s effectiveness. An interpretative method is used, due to the paradigm’s focus on social constructions and human interpretations to explain reality. The result of the findings shows that the implementation of a new IS has a greater impact on an organization’s effectiveness, compared to an older system that gets updated and add-ons. By comparing diversities between different implementations of information systems, focusing on how the chosen approach affects the effectiveness in each organization, a better grasp, and understanding of an area that lacks research and attention is highlighted.

The law faculties with their programs provide the basic corpus of knowledge and skills to young lawyers, which are necessary for their independent work in one of the legal professions. In order to better prepare them for independent work in the legal profession, a two-year legal-trainee practice has been established and is taking place in the lawyer’s office. During this practice, the lawyer (principal) conducts activities that provide the legal trainee ith the necessary skills to work and deal with clients and other state bodies better than after the solely graduation. We can view this relationship as a special type of service activity, which a lawyer performs within his profession, which at the same time improves himself and his work, and on the other hand introduces a new person to the profession in an adequate way.

TROCA DE INFORMAÇÕES FISCAIS E O DIREITO AO SIGILO NAS PERSPECTIVAS DOMÉSTICA E INTERNACIONAL:
Authors: Marques Thiago de Mattos , Liotti Belisa Ferreira
Published: July 2022

A troca automática de informações fiscais em âmbito internacional é uma realidade cuja aplicabilidade aumenta exponencialmente, inclusive em virtude dos esforços para combater as práticas tributárias abusivas. O posicionamento do Brasil no cenário global de troca automática de informações, para além do que consta simplesmente dos compromissos internacionais assumidos pelo paí­s, não pode prescindir do exame das decisões proferidas pelo STF em 2016 acerca da constitucionalidade do acesso das autoridades fiscais aos dados bancários dos contribuintes. Através da reconstrução teórica das decisões proferidas em 2016, o presente estudo visa demonstrar que a superação da regra constitucional que veicula o direito à privacidade e ao sigilo de dados se deu sob uma especí­fica fundamentação, bem como fixou requisitos especí­ficos. A partir dessa conclusão, este artigo sustenta que apenas no caso de estrita observância de tais requisitos é possí­vel que as autoridades brasileiras compartilhem dados fiscais e bancários de indiví­duos e empresas residentes no Brasil com outros paí­ses.
Citizen Sensing with Soil, and the Intimate Alterity of Narrative Distance
Authors: Hoogland Renée
Published: July 2022

New forms of ecological citizenship are emerging. As people wake up to an ecologically damaged world, while simultaneously experiencing the unsteady ground from which to imagine such a world, they start to take up low-cost technology to speculatively sense our surrounding ecologies. This article brings together narrative theory and environmental humanities while close-reading such a citizen sensing practice, that of Sounding Soil (2017—now). At stake in this sensing project is the elemental alterity of soil ecology that helps us to focalize a clear narrative distance between human voice and non-human mood. Going outside the analytical contours of normative environmental discourse and the ecocritical tradition, this article argues for the critical importance of narrative distance in sensing an ecology, because it subverts a logic of rendering the elemental as commensurable. How we pursue citizen sensing practices, therefore, is always premised on embodied, immersive, and discursively syncretic modes of speculative meaning-making: a sometimes uncomfortable but always critically improvisational engagement with elemental emergence. The dialectical tension between intimate sensing and narrative distance in Sounding Soil is no paradoxical story: it instead formalizes planetary narratives in which the ecology of soil materializes as a figure of alterity, not reducible to human voice.
Travelling Through Troubled Landscapes
Authors: Motut-Firth Monique
Published: July 2022

Traveling through a warehouse filled with magazines, her Doukhobor grandparent’s house and a reclaimed landfill Motut-Firth weaves a story between physical spaces, eras and the physical impacts of image theory on human activity and the environment. How do commercial images contribute the changing geography of our anthroposcenic moment? Navigating from the personal into the general, Motut-Firth guides us through historical Canadian imagery and leads us to the physical impacts of consumerism, spurred she argues by the glut of shiny seductive consumer images that celebrate human production and social status. Her collage based scrap-systems and animation shorts play with commercial images produced in different eras and disciplines. They invent new ways of understanding (or confusing) the complexity of our visual moment in time. She wades and sifts through our collective past of paper imagery as an unconventional archivist looking for clues to where we are now and where we will be in the future.

Published: July 2022

En la actualidad hay un gran aumento de enfermedades debidas al estrés. La búsqueda de metodologías y técnicas de atención para abatir este tipo de problemas han gestado trabajos que diversos senadores que se realizan juntamente con técnicas de meditación y relajación, utilizando, en ocasiones, música o apoyos gráficos que permiten profundizar tales estados y abatir con ello el estrés. En este e trabajo se reflexiona sobre la posibilidad de que modelos geométricos cómo son los mandalas, puedan contribuir en algunos casos a sanar algunas enfermedades. Apoyándose en diferentes autores y con un enfoque Interdisciplinario se retoman algunas aportaciones derivadas de la teoría de la relatividad de Albert Einstein y retomadas por Héctor senil relativas a la integración de universos y se propone un modelo analógico que establece una similitud con la integración psíquica equilibrada de los sujetos. Asimismo, se retoman los conceptos compartidos por el profesor Dr. D Alberto Requena Rodríguez, relativos a la resonancia y las aportaciones de Carl Gustav Jung relacionadas con el concepto y uso de mandalas. El artículo revisa el concepto de mandala y su relación con la geometría universal y con las leyes matemáticas que describen la armonía de nuestro universo, así como la ley de resonancia por la que unos objetos afectan a otros. En el caso de los modelos armónicos, éstos, favorecen la disminución del estrés en mayor grado cuando hay un acercamiento profundo a través de la meditación y la concentración con el emisor armónico con el que el sujeto entra en relación. De esta manera se fundamenta la posibilidad de que los objetos armónicos como es el caso del mandala, pueden apoyar a los procesos de sanación

The present paper aims at creating a theoretical framework for the study of sarcasm as an independent pragmatic category of nonliteral language. The analysis into the existing theories on sarcasm has revealed that there is a need to create a more comprehensive framework to give a holistic understanding of sarcasm as a linguistic and pragmalinguistic phenomenon. Despite numerous studies on the subject, linguistic sarcasm research is still in its early stages. The paper addresses the fundamental definitions and characteristics of the concept of sarcasm, which are necessary for a better understanding of how sarcasm emerges and materializes as a form of nonliteral language.

Published: July 2022

Objective: To compare long working length distal femoral locking plates with short working length for treating extra-articular distal femur fractures in terms of union and implant failure.
Method: The randomised controlled trial was conducted at the Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan, from April 28, 2018, to March 10, 2021, and comprised all adult patients of either gender with extra-articular distal femur fractures who were randomised into two groups. Group A was exposed to long working length, while group B had short working length. Patients in both the groups were followed up regularly for one year for the assessment of fracture union and implant failure. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Group Of the 61 patients, 30(49.2%) were in group A; 24(80%) males and 6(20%) females with overall mean age 37.9±9.6 years. The remaining 31(50.8%) were in group B; 26(83.8%) males and 5(16.1%) females with overall mean age 37.2±1 years. The mean working length in group A was 75±5mm and in group B it was 35±9mm. In group A 28(93.3%) fractures healed, while in group B 19(61.2%) fractures achieved union (p=0.01). Non-union was noted in 2(6.6%) patients in group A and 7(22.5%) in group B (p=0.08). Plate breakage was noted in 3(9.6%) patients and screw breakage in 2(6.4%) patients in group B and none in group A (p=0.0001).
Conclusion: Long working length titanium locking plates were found to be better than short working length in achieving fracture union and avoiding implant failure.

Comparison of fertility parameters in Romanov sheep synchronized with progesterone-based protocol plus PMSG or GnRH
Authors: GÜNER Barış , KARAKAYA BİLEN Ebru
Published: July 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the fertility parameters in response to pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (conventional treatment) or gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (alternative treatment) in Romanov sheep subjected to a 7-d short-term protocol out of breeding season.
Materials and Methods: Sheep (n=57) received an intravaginal sponge impregnated with 20 mg fluorogestone acetate for 7 days and 125 µg cloprostenol at sponge removal. Sheep were randomly assigned to receive no treatment (CON, n=16), 240 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG, n=24) at sponge removal or 10 µg busereline acetate (GnRH, n=17) at 30 h after sponge removal.
Results: Estrous response and pregnancy rate were 86% and 75.4% in all sheep, respectively. Estrous response was numerically higher about 7% (p>0.05) in treatment groups (PMSG, 87.5%; GnRH, 88.2%) than CON (81.2%). However, pregnancy rate was numerically higher in PMSG (83.3%) than GnRH (70.6%) and CON (68.7%). As in pregnancy rate, lambing rate was approximately 15% numerically greater (p>0.05) in the PMSG (79.1%) than in GnRH (64.7%) and CON (62.5%) groups. Similarly, litter size numerically higher (p>0.05) in PMSG (2.1) than GnRH (1.9) and CON (1.9) groups.
Conclusion: The use of GnRH offered similar estrous response compared to PMSG in Romanov sheep synchronized with short-term protocol. However, PMSG had numerically higher pregnancy rate, lambing rate, and litter size than GnRH. Considering the serious ethical concerns and animal welfare for the production of PMSG, it is necessary to use alternatively gonadotropins. Comprehensive studies are needed to compare the fertility parameters between PMSG and GnRH in Romanov sheep.

It is arguably true that local authorities are expected to play a pivotal role in improving the economy of any nation in general and the standard of living for the citizens. However, governance challenges have been reported as one of the causes of poor performance and lack of sustainability in institutions. In recent years, local authorities have been experiencing poor governance, deplorable service delivery, misuse of public funds and failure to comply with laws. Upon realising that the quality of life of the urban residents in any country is to some extent related to the quality of service delivery by the local municipality of that city, the researchers felt primed to explore corporate governance (CG) issues. The main objective of the study was to examine the impact of CG on the quality of service delivery in Masvingo city. In probing the problem at hand, the study adopted a mixed methodology to generate data from a sample size of 70 research participants drawn from Masvingo Municipality. Questionnaires and interviews were administered to collect data from municipality employees, the Town Clerk, auditor, Councilors and residents of Masvingo city. The study revealed that CG impacts the quality of service delivery both positively and negatively. It was noted that failure to uphold the elements of CG could translate to poor service delivery while religious implementation of the elements of CG could create a conducive environment for achieving enhanced quality service delivery. Challenges such as nepotism, corruption, political interference and lack of financial resources were identified as rampant in Masvingo city. Measures to improve the quality of service delivery were suggested, namely, employees to be trained to improve their professional competence; nepotism, political interference and corruption be shunned to encourage good CG. It was also recommended that an all-stakeholder approach be put in place so that the elements of CG are taken into consideration for the sake of improving the quality of service delivery in Masvingo city

Published: July 2022

Objective: to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the use of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) compared to the use of other intravenous catheters in newborns hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units. Method: This is a bibliographic study, a systematic review carried out according to the Cochrane methodology and regulations of the PRISMA check list. The Databases PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) were consulted until March 2021. Reviewers independently tracked eligible randomizedclinical trials (CRTs); extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias through the Cochraneapproach. Associations were reported as relative risks (RR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI).Heterogeneity was tested with the Cochrane χ2 test, and the degree of heterogeneity quantified with statistics I2 and its 95% CI. The Review Manager (RevMan) software was used for meta-analysis (version 5.3). The quality of the evidence was generated according to the Evaluation of theClassification of Recommendations, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). Results: There was nostatistically difference for the occurrence of sepsis, mortality, catheter-related complications(infections) and catheter length of stay between groups. For the number of venopunctures required for catheter insertion, the findings indicate that for PICC there are lower numbers (RR -6.17, 95% CI:-7.75 to -4.59) and that there is low heterogeneity (I2=32%) among the studies. However, these results should be interpreted with caution, since the evaluation of the quality of the evidence was low. Conclusion: No moderate or high-quality evidence was found in ECRs that proves that there is differentiated effectiveness between PICC compared to the use of other intravenous catheters in newborns hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units, thus evidencing the need for further studiesin the area.

Le visage de la diversité dans les pays occidentaux industrialisés a beaucoup changé dans l'espace des dernières décennies. Cette évolution, ainsi que des problématiques non-résolues autour de l’intégration des personnes issues de l’immigration, mène à une remise en question des modèles. L'interculturalisme est apparu comme un nouveau paradigme pour orienter l’action municipale en matière d’intégration et inclusion. Le phénomène récent des « villes interculturelles » s’inspire à plusieurs niveaux de cette évolution dans la gouvernance locale.

The development of the sharia economy in Indonesia continues to experience rapid development, especially in the banking sector. Where the banking world is given a great opportunity by the government to carry out its business activities based on sharia principles. As a financial institution, Islamic banks must have differences with conventional banks, especially in terms of financing. Islamic banks are more focused on financing with the principle of profit sharing which is expected to be able to meet the criteria of liquidity, profitability, and solvency. To achieve high profitability, funds are required in appropriate financing. One of the ratios to measure the level of profitability is the Return On Asset (ROA) ratio. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an effect of Mudharabah financing on ROA generated by Islamic Commercial Banks for the 2014-2019 Period.

This research method is included in the type of quantitative research with an associative approach. Population is taken from the annual report of 14 Islamic Commercial Banks. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The research sample was obtained in the form of the annual financial reports of 5 Islamic Commercial Banks for the period 2014-2019. Where the data collection uses secondary data obtained from the Banking Statistic Report published by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the annual Financial Report published by each Islamic Commercial Bank.

 The results of testing the regression coefficients by coefficients obtained the sig value of mudharabah financing of 0.717 > 0.05. This means that the independent variable mudharabah has no significant effect on the dependent variable Return on Assets (ROA). So this shows that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, with the conclusion that partially mudharabah financing has no significant effect on the Return on Assets (ROA) of Islamic Commercial Banks for the 2014-2019 period.
