Published: December 2022

The objective of this study was to observe the response of the bird cherry oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus, 1758) to field rate equivalents of insecticides, by using bioassays of vials coated with the pyrethroid, λ-cyhalothrin. The results from the geographically separated Irish R. padi colonies indicated a susceptible response, which was a similar finding to the UK which showed sensitivity in this species of cereal aphids. Monitoring the susceptibility status of aphids using bioassays gives information regarding developments of any tolerance, which could be a precursor, or resistance against the target chemical insecticide, which is an important integrated pest management tool.

Published: December 2022

Background — An increase in the frequency of manifestations of dry eye syndrome (DES), against the background of hypotensive therapy, leads to a decrease in treatment adherence. After reformulation in the composition of a preservative-free preparation of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) (sodium benzoate was added), patient complaints of burning sensation during instillation became more frequent, which was the reason for our study. Objective — To evaluate the effect of sodium benzoate on the course of DES during local hypotensive therapy of glaucoma. Methods and Results — Group 1 consisted of 21 eyes with glaucoma receiving hypotensive therapy, Group 2 (20 eyes) included patients with suspected glaucoma not receiving therapy. Patients underwent standard diagnostic methods and examination of the ocular surface condition: tear break-up time test sensu Norn, Schirmer test, vital staining with lissamine green, and a survey based on the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. When a preservative-free CAI in combination therapy was replaced with the CAI containing sodium benzoate, no statistically significant change in IOP occurred after four weeks of treatment (p> 0.05). In both groups, the indicators characterizing the ocular surface condition did not change statistically significantly over the observation period. Conclusion — Replacement of preservative-free CAI in combination therapy of glaucoma with CAI with sodium benzoate does not lead to statistically significant changes in intraocular pressure. The ocular surface condition does not change statistically significantly over a month of observation. Instillation discomfort is not related to the pH of the preparation.

Objective — To investigate the apoptotic activity of Gratiola officinalis L. extract on human tumor cell lines by flow cytofluorometry. Material and Methods — The extract of Gratiola officinalis L. was manufactured via our original methodology. Studies were performed on human tumor cell lines: HeLa – cervical carcinoma, Jurkat – T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, MCF-7 – breast adenocarcinoma, A549 – lung carcinoma, PC-3 – prostate carcinoma, HCT-116 – colon carcinoma, A498 – renal carcinoma, and SK-BR-3 – human breast carcinoma. Induction of apoptosis was studied after incubating cell lines with Gratiola officinalis L. extract at a concentration of 0.9 mg/mL using the Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Kit. Caspase-dependent apoptosis was examined on a flow cytometer using anti-caspase-3-FITC (BD) kit on the Jurkat cell line. Morphological studies of HeLa cervical carcinoma cells in the alive and dead test were performed using two stains, acridine orange and propidium iodide, at different concentrations of the extract. The statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Office Excel software. Results — One day after their exposure to Gratiola officinalis L. extract at a concentration of 0.9 mg/mL, tumor cells were mostly in late apoptosis stage. Cytotoxic activity of Gratiola officinalis L. extract was established for all investigated tumor cell cultures but their sensitivities to the extract were different. Mechanisms of antitumor action of Gratiola officinalis L. extract were identified: we established that the extract induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in tumor cells. Conclusion — The identified mechanisms of apoptotic activity of Gratiola officinalis L. extract confirmed the prospects of bioflavonoids as new-generation antitumor agents.
Regulation Of Medical Activity In Russia And Europe In The 10th – Early 20th Centuries: Correlation Between Ethical And Legal Principles
Authors: Suvorov Valery V. , Ishchenko Yuri V. , Fakhrudinova Elmira R. , Kiselev Anton R.
Published: December 2022

The legal and ethical regulation of medical activity in Russia vs. European countries has common features and a number of specific differences. The regulation of medical activity in the Old Russian state and European medieval states was carried out within the framework of legal norms and Christian worldview, the main principle of which was service to one’s neighbor. For instance, these were ethical issues that came to the fore. The secular state form, began its historical path with the emergence of the first secular doctors at the courts of ancient Russian princes. From the 16th century on, it became part of the state apparatus extending its influence to the social estate of the military servicemen. In the middle of the 19th century, during the period of the Zemstvo Reform, it became the main form of servicing rural population. The specificity of zemstvo medicine was the organization of medical activities based on of local self-government bodies and medical societies. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the increasing complexity of scientific knowledge and organization of medical services, European medical codes of ethics aimed at developing the rules of conduct to be followed by the members of newly emerging national medical associations. Despite regulating medical activity, the issues of healthcare were not given due attention, and there were no specific legislative acts affecting the health care regulation in prerevolutionary Russia. In Europe, too, for a long time, the responsibility of a medical professional for mistakes was considered from the standpoint of private relationships based on contractual and commercial principles.

Published: December 2022

Context

Infant race and ethnicity are used ubiquitously in research and reporting, though inconsistent approaches to data collection and definitions yield variable results. The consistency of these data has an impact on reported findings and outcomes.

Objective

To systematically review and examine concordance among differing race and ethnicity data collection techniques presented in perinatal health care literature.

Data Sources

PubMed, CINAHL, and Ovid were searched on June 17, 2021.

Study Selection

English language articles published between 1980 and 2021 were included if they reported on the United States’ infant population and compared 2 or more methods of capturing race and/or ethnicity.

Data Extraction

Two authors independently evaluated articles for inclusion and quality, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer.

Results

Our initial search identified 4329 unique citations. Forty articles passed title/abstract review and were reviewed in full text. Nineteen were considered relevant and assessed for quality and bias, from which 12 studies were ultimately included. Discordance in infant race and ethnicity data were common among multiple data collection methods, including those frequently used in perinatal health outcomes research. Infants of color and those born to racially and/or ethnically discordant parents were the most likely to be misclassified across data sources.

Limitations

Studies were heterogeneous in methodology and populations of study and data could not be compiled for analysis.

Conclusions

Racial and ethnic misclassification of infants leads to inaccurate measurement and reporting of infant morbidity and mortality, often underestimating burden in minoritized populations while overestimating it in the non-Hispanic/Latinx white population.

Published: December 2022

We present new techniques for compilation of sequential programs for almost affine accesses in loop nests for distributed-memory parallel architectures. Our approach is implemented as a source-to-source automatic parallelizing compiler that expresses parallelism with the DVMH directive-based programming model. Compared to all previous approaches ours addresses all three main sub-problems of the problem of distributed memory parallelization: data and computation distribution and communication optimization. Parallelization of sequential programs with structured grid computations is considered. In this paper, we use the NAS Parallel Benchmarks to evaluate the performance of generated programs and provide experimental results on up to 9 nodes of a computational cluster with two 8-core processors in a node.
JIT-aware DBMS planner configuration

Published: December 2022

Dynamic compilation of certain operator compositions might have a drastic impact on overall query performance, but not be considered during optimal query plan selection by DBMS planner due to lack of knowledge. To tackle this problem, we propose to extend cost model with criteria that make dynamic compilation overhead relevant. The necessity to set up the optimizer criteria is due to the fact that the properties of various execution models impose restrictions on the efficiency of query plan execution using certain operator nodes. For example, the push-model used in the dynamic compiler is advantageous when executing queries using sequential scan. So, dynamic compilation makes sequential scan more efficient than index scan. Using index nodes in such a plan makes the value of the dynamic compilation method diminishing. To overcome these problems, it is proposed to configure the DBMS optimizer, so that it evaluates and takes into account the efficiency of using certain types of nodes when building a query plan with its subsequent dynamic compilation. This paper discusses the modification of the PostgreSQL planner to select the most efficient query execution plan based on hardware characteristics and the execution model of operator nodes with interpretation or compilation.
Large-scale scientific data and long-term data storage function in a computing center
Authors: Ivankov Dmitry Vladimirovich
Published: December 2022

Long-term data storing is an important task for many modern scientific laboratories and datacenters. In order to reduce cost of digital information ownership, some solutions use magnetic tape technology and special software to control medium and data. Considering the on-site infrastructure specifics and well-established workflows of data processing, these organizations build and support such systems mainly by their own efforts, what becomes an important task in seeking to acquire the technological sovereignty. This paper describes long-term data storage issues in the computing center of the Zababakhin All-Russia Research Institute of Technical Physics where mathematical modeling computations generate vast amount of scientific data. The architecture and functional composition of the developed Archive Data Storage System are given as well as its internal data model, the chunk grouping rules, and the low-level tape format used. The measures taken to ensure an archived data consistency, methods of storage media management and issues of archival fund maintenance, are also considered. The calculation scheme of a typical archive system site’s hardware configuration, sufficient to process archiving data flows existing in datacenter, is given.
Sex differences in jealousy and personality differences: Comparing consensually non-monogamous participants to a monogamous cohort
Authors: Edlund John E. , Kinner Kristyn , Seda Darius
Published: December 2022

Sex differences in jealousy are a well-established research finding that suggests men (relative to women) will find the sexual components of an infidelity more distressing, whereas women (relative to men) will find the emotional components of an infidelity more distressing. This study uses a relatively novel sample of participants (individuals who engage in consensual non-monogamy) to test both cultural and evolutionary influences on jealousy. In our study using hypothetical scenarios, we found that men (relative to women) were more upset about the sexual components of the infidelity and that women (relative to men) were more upset about the emotional components of the infidelity. This occurred in both samples to the same magnitude suggesting that the differences between the men and women may be driven by evolutionary influences. Additionally, we found a main effect of relationship type such that participants who engaged in consensual non-monogamy had lower levels of jealousy overall. As such, this study provides relatively unique evidence for the ultimate origins of sex differences in jealousy.
Elucidating evolutionary principles with the traditional Mosuo: Adaptive benefits and origins of matriliny and “walking marriages”
Authors: Yong Jose C. , Li Norman P.
Published: December 2022

The Mosuo, arguably the last surviving matrilineal society in China, offers interesting insights into kinship practices that support reproduction. In particular, the modes of courtship and reproduction of the traditional Mosuo revolve around a practice known as walking marriages, which involves no contract or obligations, where the men do not use social status or resources to court women, women do not expect commitment from men, and multiple sexual relationships are permitted for both sexes and seldom incite conflict. Children borne from walking marriages are cared for not so much by fathers but rather their mothers' brothers, and wealth and property are controlled by women and passed on to daughters rather than to sons. By analyzing how familial and mating practices interact with evolved preferences and ecological affordances, we highlight the ways that traditional Mosuo practices facilitate reproductive success despite differing vastly from those familiar to modern, industrialized societies. We suggest that cases that appear like evolutionary exceptions, such as the traditional Mosuo, can bring into question the mating practices and preferences we take for granted as relatively universal and prompt a nuanced understanding of how environments, culture, and evolution mutually constrain and shape one another.
Content biases in three phases of cultural transmission: A review
Authors: Stubbersfield Joseph M.
Published: December 2022

Cultural evolution theory proposes that information transmitted through social learning is not transmitted indiscriminately but is instead biased by heuristics and mechanisms which increase the likelihood that individuals will copy particular cultural traits based on their inherent properties (content biases) and copy the cultural traits of particular models, or under particular circumstances (context biases). Recent research suggests that content biases are as important, or more important, than context biases in the selection and faithful transmission of cultural traits. Here, evidence for biases for emotive, social, threat-related, stereotype consistent and counterintuitive content is reviewed, focusing on how these biases may operate across three phases of transmission: choose-to-receive, encode-and-retrieve, and choose-to-transmit. Support for some biases primarily functioning as biases of attention and memory, while others primarily function as biases of selection to share with others, and the implications for this in wider cultural evolution is discussed. Ultimately, a more consistent approach to examining content biases, and greater engagement with wider literature, is required for clear conclusions about their mechanism and potential differences across the three phases of transmission.
Ze studiów nad kulturą regionalną. Regionalizm literacki
Authors:   Prof. dr hab., Uniwersytet Śląski, Katowice, Polska, Wilkoń Teresa
Published: December 2022

The terms “Region and regionalism” may have two meanings: a broad or a narrow one. Their broad meaning is found in sentences such as “the South-Western Europe region,” “the Zagłębie regionalism,” “the Podhale region” etc. We are interested in the meaning of the term regionalism in the sense of a deliberate, intended cultural trend (e.g. literary, poetic) related to a certain space and history, the culture of specific land, architecture, folklore, landscape, “works of nature.” In such cases, the term regionalism is closely linked to culture, and thus, to poetry and prose. The author attempts to find an answer to the questions of how the ideals of regionalism are realised in the literary works of well-known Polish writers, and how often they stem from the spirit of the region of the writers’ origin.

Authors:   Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Polska, Grzesiak-Witek Danuta
Published: December 2022

Asperger Syndrome (AS) was first described by Hans Asperger in 1944 and was initially referred to as autistic psychopathy. In the case of individuals with AS, a whole range of social interaction disorders is observed, which is mainly manifested by difficulties at the pragmatic and semantic levels. Linguistic and communicative behaviours of individuals with AS take a specific form. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the language behaviour of this group of people, based on the author’s own research and the latest literature. The cases of two boys with the aforementioned disorder are discussed. The deficits in selected linguistic, communicative and interactional skills, occurring to a different degree and extent in the examined persons with Asperger Syndrome, prove the existence of linguistic deficits in this group of people. Pointing out the principles of linguistic functioning of individuals with AS will help to understand them and facilitate the work of speech therapists.

Published: December 2022

The aim: study of the effectiveness of environmentally safe disinfectants against P. aeruginosa and pathogens of the main bacteriosis of poultry at test facilities.

Materials and methods. To study the antimicrobial action of the investigated disinfectants against a mixture of epizootic cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. typhimurium, isolated from poultry, bacteriological studies were carried out on test objects: galvanized iron, wooden bars (painted and unpainted), red brick, cutouts from plaster, size 10 × 10 cm.

Results. The working solutions of the new disinfectant "Dezsan" were studied in comparison with the control agents: "Virocid" and "Bi-dez" at a concentration of 0.01; 0.1; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 1.5 % in relation to suspension cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. typhimurium. In this case, it was established, that the "Dezsan" agent showed an antimicrobial effect on rough test objects after exposure for 3 hours at a concentration of 0.1 %, and at a concentration of 0.25 % - for 1 hour. On smooth surfaces, the agent neutralized bacterial cultures at a concentration of 0.1 % after exposure for 1 hour. The preparation "Bi-dez" at a concentration of 0.25 % was effective on smooth surfaces after exposure for 1 hour, on rough surfaces (brick, plaster) - at a concentration of 0.5 % after exposure for 3 hours or more. The working solution of 1 % concentration neutralized bacterial cultures on all types of surfaces after exposure for 1 hour or more. "Virocid" agent after exposure for 1 hour neutralized bacterial cultures on smooth surfaces in concentrations of 0.25 % and higher; on rough surfaces, the growth of cultures was not detected when using a 0.5 % solution.

Conclusions. Environmentally safe disinfectants "Dezsan" and "Shumerske sryblo" compared to the control ones ("Bi Dez" and "Virotsid") show an active antimicrobial effect at a concentration of 0.25 % and 3 %, respectively, against the suspension of epizootic cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and S. typhimurium on different types of production surfaces, which justifies the feasibility of their use based on the principle of rotation of disinfectants for the prevention of bacterial pseudomonosis of poultry

The aim: to analyze and establish the pathogenetic role of biochemical markers of the state of connective tissue in diseases of the stomach and intestines in dogs and cats.
Materials and methods. The research was carried out by the method of analysis of sources of scientific literature (PubMed, Elsevier, electronic resources of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library), because of which a scheme of the pathogenesis of gastroenteritis in dogs and cats with the participation of connective tissue biopolymers was created.
Results. In dogs and cats, the issue of the use of biochemical markers for the diagnosis of diseases of the stomach and intestines has not yet been fully clarified. It is known, that in dogs and cats, lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis is histologically determined by fibrosis of the intestinal wall, but biochemical tests for the diagnosis of this condition are not given. Among the biochemical markers of inflammatory bowel disease, tumor necrosis factor, C-reactive protein and microalbumin were identified. Although C-reactive protein was elevated in a greater number of diseased animals, this increase was insignificant. Other tests also did not show high diagnostic informativeness. Several stages can be identified in the pathogenesis of alimentary gastroenteritis in dogs and cats. First, the irritating components of food act on the mucous membrane of the stomach and disrupt its secretory and motor functions, which causes gastritis. Thus, the use of indicators of the state of connective tissue in the diagnosis of intestinal diseases in dogs can be used to assess the degree of the inflammatory process.
Conclusions. According to the results of the analysis, it was established, that the development of the inflammatory process in the stomach and intestines causes an increase in the content of glycoproteins in the blood serum of cats and dogs, and a decrease in synthetic processes in the liver is accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in the blood serum of sick animals. It should be noted, that this decrease has peculiarities: in dogs, the content of total chondroitin sulfates remained at the level of clinically healthy animals, while the concentration of total GAG decreased. In cats, on the contrary, the content of total chondroitin sulfates decreased, and the fractional composition of GAG remained unchanged. The level of excretion of oxyproline and uronic acids in the urine of animals with gastroenteritis did not change, which indicates the absence of catabolism of collagen and proteoglycans with gastroenteritis
Development of a mathematical model of the operation of the swab generator valve
Authors: Rubel Viktoria , Rubel Vyacheslav , Ziaja Jan , Yaremiychuk Roman
Published: December 2022

The object of research in the work is a mathematical model of the operation of a hydrodynamic well generator of the spring-valve type. The existing problem lies in the fact that vibrating wave swabbing differs from known methods of vibrating wave influence on the near-breakout zone of the formation in its ease of execution and, as a result, a much smaller range of equipment. At the same time, its effectiveness should not be inferior to known methods because the treatment of the formation is carried out by elastic low-frequency pressure fluctuations against the background of depression on the formation. Since the swab generator valve is, in fact, a hydrodynamic well generator (HWG) of the spring-valve type, the processes of pressure fluctuations in the considered devices will be similar. However, because of the review of HWG designs, the presence of a mathematical model describing the operation of rotor-type devices, and not valve type, was revealed. Despite the fact that the mathematical model takes into account all the main factors that determine the process of the HWG piston movement, this model cannot be used to describe the operation process of the swab generator valve. Due to the absence of a pulsating flow created at the wellhead by pumping units. Taking this fact into account, as well as taking into account the compressibility of the liquid passing through the valve, a new mathematical model was developed. It describes both the process of operation of a spring-valve type HWG operating in a well on pump-compressor pipes, and the operation of a swab generator valve that is lowered into a well on a rope. Thanks to this, it is possible to obtain the parameters of the oscillating system: geometric dimensions, inertial mass of moving parts, stiffness of the spring, coefficient of viscous friction between the piston and the valve body, as well as parameters of the working fluid: pressure, flow and its rheological properties. In comparison with the similarly known technology of vibration wave impact on a formation with known HWG, it provides such advantages as a higher speed of movement and frequency of oscillations of the moving end of the spring from the identified essential parameters of the oscillating system and the working fluid of the spring (100–1000 N/mm), consumption of working liquid (10–130 m3/h), valve opening pressure (1–7 MPa). This will make it possible to calculate a helical cylindrical compression spring made of round steel for its operation in the valve of the swab generator without collision of turns.

The most characteristic features of the construction of communication systems of groups of troops (forces) during the conduct of hostilities (operations) are a high level of a priori uncertainty regarding the operational situation and a small amount of initial data for communication planning. In such conditions, it is important to correctly choose the apparatus for evaluating the made management decisions, which will allow the officials of the points of the control system of the communication system of the groups of troops (forces) to be confident in the made decisions. That is why the issue of increasing the effectiveness of the management of forces and devices of communication of groups of troops (forces) during operations is an important and urgent issue.  The object of the research is the communication system of the group of troops (forces). The subject of the research is the effectiveness of the communication system of the grouping of troops (forces) in accordance with the purpose of the operation. The research developed a method for managing forces and devices of communication using methods of resource optimization in the operations of troops (forces). The novelty of the proposed method consists in taking into account the type of uncertainty regarding the operational situation in the operational space. Also, taking into account the number of members of the grouping (consumers of communication services) of groups of troops (forces) in operations.

The object of the study is the competitiveness of the economies of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries. Assessment of the level of competitiveness is one of the urgent problems of the modern economy. There are still no uniform methods and standards in the world for defining the concept of «competitiveness of the economy», methods for its assessment and factors influencing it, which raises many questions regarding the comparison of the level of development and competitiveness of world economies.
Given the comparative advantages of economies, different methodological approaches may produce different results in relation to the competitive position of a given country. In the course of the study, the author presented the developed mathematical model for calculating the competitiveness of the similarity and dissimilarity index, which comprehensively characterizes the state of the economy of the Eurasian Economic Union countries. Thus, comparing the measure of similarity or dissimilarity of countries according to different methods will undoubtedly give a comprehensive idea of their competitiveness, as well as allow the development of an appropriate and effective economic policy.
The analysis in the paper of the dynamics of the index of similarity and dissimilarity in the external economic activities of Kazakhstan with the EAEU countries over the years, it is possible to establish the trend observed in this process, and, consequently, to determine the strategy of international economic relations for the future.
The results of the study can be used by government agencies that make decisions in the field of trade, economic and investment cooperation.

The object of research is a mathematical model of the photoelastic interaction in an acousto-optic delay line (AODL). Two possible cases are discussed as applied to the ratio of the input pulse duration to the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet. It is shown that in both cases the voltage at the output of the device is found as the sum of three components, which are formed by different mechanisms. If the duration of the input pulse is longer than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, then the first component is determined by the process of entry of the leading edge of the elastic wave packet into the optical beam, the second – by the process of complete interaction of the optical beam with the elastic wave packet, and the third – by the process of exit of the trailing edge of the elastic wave packet from the optical beam. In the second case, i. e. when the duration of the input pulse is less than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, the first term is determined by the process of entry of the elastic wave packet into the optical beam, the second – by the process of advancing the elastic wave packet in the aperture of the optical beam, and the third – by the process of exit of the elastic wave packet from the aperture of the optical beam. The corresponding equations for calculating the parameters of the output pulse were obtained by applying a rectangular pulse to the AODL input. It is proved that if the pulse duration at the AODL input is longer than the time of intersection of the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, then the pulse duration at its output will be equal to the duration of the input pulse. In the case when the duration of the input pulse is less than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, the duration of the output pulse will be determined by the time of propagation of the elastic wave packet in the aperture of the optical beam. The obtained equations are confirmed by numerical calculations. The results of the numerical analysis were tested experimentally, which confirms the unequivocal adequacy of the proposed model of photoelastic interaction in an AODL.

HISTÓRIAS DE VIDA E EXPERIÊNCIAS FORMADORAS NA VOZ DE UM POETA POPULAR NO PROGRAMA BRASIL ALFABETIZADO – BARAÚNA/RN
Authors: Ramos Rosilene Costa
Published: December 2022

Este artigo origina-se de um trabalho de mestrado com enfoque nas narrativas de experiências formadoras na voz de um poeta popular do Programa Brasil Alfabetizado – Baraúna/RN, vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação - POSEDUC da Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte - UERN. Tem como objetivo compreender como os saberes alicerçados nas experiências do cotidiano do referido poeta contribuíram para o seu constituir-se alfabetizador e formador de alfabetizadores no Programa Brasil Alfabetizado. As inspirações teóricas de embasamento foram os estudos de Freire (1980, 1981, 1987, 1996 e 2007), Josso (2010), Halbwachs (2006), Martins (2000), Brandão (1981) e Tardif (2010). Como resultados o estudo aponta algumas percepções. A primeira delas diz respeito aos fecundos processos formativos do seu narrador personagem, tecidos nos fios da memória que enredam a sua trajetória de vida. Destacam-se os saberes construídos com o pai, as lutas sindicais, a experiência de tornar-se poeta e a docência no PBA, que resultaram em transformações existenciais e cognitivas. As experiências narradas revelam também o seu empoderamento a partir do seu aprender, nas relações estabelecidas na labuta do cotidiano. Conhecimentos que o impulsionaram ao espaço da sala de aula como alfabetizador e formador de professores do PBA. As histórias de vida, além do seu significado investigativo, representam um instrumento de formação para o sujeito que se narra e para os outros. As narrativas servem como material de compreensão dos processos de conhecimento, da formação e aprendizagem.

A problemática da má gestão dos resíduos sólidos no mundo é um agravante para o estabelecimento de cidades ecologicamente saudáveis. O referido trabalho teve como proposta, analisar a percepção socioambiental de duas comunidades da periferia do município de Patos, sertão paraibano, acerca dos resíduos sólidos domésticos (RSD). A pesquisa de natureza descritiva teve abordagem quali-quantitativa. A coleta das informações foi realizada por meio de entrevistas com moradores que possuísse idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Foram entrevistados 474 indivíduos incluindo apenas um representante de cada família. Em relação ao perfil socioeconômico dos entrevistados, em ambas as áreas houve predominância do sexo feminino, do grau de escolaridade em nível fundamental incompleto e da renda mensal inferior a 1 salário mínimo. No entanto, a faixa etária mais expressiva na comunidade I foi de jovens, dos 29 aos 39 anos, enquanto na comunidade II foram de pessoas com ou acima de 60 anos. Verificou-se semelhanças nas respostas dos entrevistados referente ao tratamento dos RSD e doenças (Comunidade I – 52,63%; Comunidade II – 50,28%) sendo esta relação, o principal problema citado diante do descarte e/ou acondicionamento inadequado dos resíduos. Apesar de não haver diferenças na percepção dos moradores sobre o tratamento dos RSD, a população percebe a problemática socioambiental causada por seu descarte incorreto. Há a necessidade de ações contínuas voltadas à Educação Ambiental para sensibilização da população na colaboração com a gestão municipal.
