Alexandre Historiográfico: Alexandre, o Grande e os historiadores nos séculos XIX e XX
Authors: Antela-Bernádez B. , Mendoza M.
Published: September 2023

Numa afirmação famosa, Ulrich Wilcken defende que cada historiador tem o seu próprio Alexandre. Um exame crítico das tradições do Alexandre historiográfico permite reconsiderar tanto as nossas ideias de alteridade e sucesso, como o quão grande pode ser um ser humano, ou até que ponto o que foi grande no passado ainda tem de ser aceite como tal nos nossos dias. Em suma, revisitar Alexandre a partir dos olhos dos historiadores da Idade Contemporânea oferece uma oportunidade genuína para repensar a História enquanto tal e para avaliar como podemos imaginar novas formas de explicar o passado, a fim de construir uma apreciação rica do presente e imaginar novos futuros. O objetivo das páginas seguintes é rever os retratos e as preocupações de Alexander nas obras e âmbitos das tradições históricas mais recentes dos séculos XIX e XX.

Published: September 2023

Para que haja uma evolução da pesquisa científica se faz necessário que os pesquisadores tenham consciência da importância dos métodos utilizados em seus estudos. Por essa razão, o presente artigo teve por objetivo realizar uma análise crítica sobre os critérios metodológicos utilizados na produção acadêmica na área de turismo, a partir dos trabalhos apresentados nos Seminários da Associação Brasileira de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Turismo – ANPTUR, com o propósito de avaliar o rigor e cuidados que estão sendo adotados nas pesquisas nessa área. Sendo assim, foi realizada inicialmente uma desk research baseada em algumas variáveis metodológicas previstas na literatura, tendo sido analisados 555 artigos publicados nos Anais da ANPTUR nos anos de 2006 a 2008, em virtude de ser este o principal fórum sobre turismo no Brasil. Como resultado, encontrou-se uma produção acadêmica essencialmente empírica e qualitativa que falha, principalmente, em relação aos critérios de validade e confiabilidade, o que ficou evidente em relação aos artigos publicados no período avaliado.
ANÁLISE DO PARADIGMA TEÓRICO DE TURISMO USADO PELA AUTORA DRA. MARGARITA NILDA BARRETTO ANGELI
Authors: Maranhão Christiano Henrique da Silva , Pequeno Edilene Adelino , Sonaglio Kerlei Eniele
Published: September 2023

Diante de um notório movimento que busca uma apreciação analítica do turismo na contemporaneidade, que varia entre um exame de aglomerados de abordagens e métodos e uma abordagem que busca a coesão, com o uso de definições de focos quantitativo-econômicos e/ou qualitativo-compreensivos; buscasse um conceito sobre o turismo que possa responder a todas as suas interfaces de maneira lógica. Dessa forma, este artigo busca analisar quais os fundamentos e os objetos teóricos utilizados pela Dra. Margarita Barretto em seus estudos do turismo e qual a escola teórica em que a referida autora prepara suas bases explicativas para o turismo como área de conhecimento, buscando dessa forma uma re-significação, para com isso avançar na cientificidade da área.
AS POTENCIALIDADES DO TERRITÓRIO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO LOCAL: UMA ANÁLISE DO AGLOMERADO DE TURISMO DE SANTA TERESA/RJ
Authors: Nascimento Rejane Prevot , Moreira Filho Mancildo
Published: September 2023

Este artigo objetivou analisar o Polo de Turismo do Bairro de Santa Teresa no Rio de Janeiro, no que diz respeito à formação de um Aglomerado Produtivo de Empresas e de que forma os resultados obtidos por este aglomerado produzem impactos no desenvolvimento local daquele bairro. Além disto, buscou-se verificar a percepção dos moradores sobre as potencialidades do território para o desenvolvimento local. No referencial teórico que dá sustentação à análise são abordados os temas referentes à ideia de território como espaço de desenvolvimento local e o conceito de aglomerações produtivas. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa englobou a utilização de pesquisa de campo, com coleta de dados por meio de observação direta e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram entrevistados os atores locais envolvidos com o aglomerado: empresários do aglomerado, moradores, representantes de associações do bairro e do poder público e das ONGs. A análise desenvolvida possibilitou a constatação de que, embora os atores locais identifiquem o papel do aglomerado e as potencialidades do território para o desenvolvimento local, alguns aspectos relacionados à atuação do aglomerado, tais como a cooperação entre os empresários, a integração dos diferentes atores do bairro e a busca por um desenvolvimento sustentável encontram-se em um grau muito incipiente, pouco incidindo sobre o desenvolvimento social e econômico do bairro.
DESTINAÇÕES TURÍSTICAS NA AMAZÔNIA: AS RELAÇÕES ENTRE MORFOLOGIA URBANA E ATRATIVIDADE DA DESTINAÇÃO TURÍSTICA
Authors: Pereira Luciana Noronha , Vieira Rafaela , Anjos Francisco Antonio dos
Published: September 2023

A sustentabilidade de uma destinação turística tem uma relação intrínseca com a manutenção e/ou melhoria das características e atributos que despertaram o interesse do mercado turístico e (o olhar) do turista. Uma destas características é a Morfologia Urbana, que combina elementos naturais e construídos caracterizando a configuração da paisagem local. A pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender como a Morfologia Urbana interfere na atratividade de uma destinação turística da região amazônica, a Vila de Alter do Chão, em Santarém (PA). A metodologia caracteriza-se pelo método de procedimento de estudo de caso e técnicas de documentação (indireta e direta, incluindo a observação intensiva através de entrevistas), agregando-se estratégias para a compreensão espacial a partir das categorias e dos elementos morfológicos do espaço. O imaginário dos turistas sobre as destinações amazônicas aparece relacionando características tais como, grandes extensões de áreas naturais preservadas, pequenos aglomerados urbanos ribeirinhos, características rústicas, pequena densidade populacional e construída, gabaritos baixos, construções em materiais regionais, entre outros. Também foi identificada uma tendência à progressiva diminuição do interesse turístico pela Vila, em decorrência à progressiva perda das características por eles consideradas tradicionais.

The objective of this work was to assess the nutritional status of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants grown under application of macronutrients, in a Typic Hapludult. The experiment was conducted in Cruz das Almas, BA, Brazil, in a greenhouse. The treatments were based on a Baconian matrix statistical arrangement, in which one of the nutrients is supplied in different quantities, whereas the other nutrients are maintained at the reference rates. Six nutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) were evaluated at three different rates. Two additional treatments were used (reference rates; and without nutrient applications), totaling 20 treatments. A completely randomized experimental design with five replications was used, totaling 100 experimental units. Plant material was collected 50 days after treatment applications and dried in an oven for 72 hours. Approximately 0.1 g of dry weight of leaves, stems, and roots were subjected to acid digestion in a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The digested material was diluted in 100 mL of distilled water to obtain the extract for nutritional diagnosis. The optimal maximum N and P accumulations in basil leaves for high plant performances were 51 and 3.0 g kg-1, respectively. The estimated rates for each nutrient to provide the optimal total N accumulation in basil plants were: N = 235.61, P =91.27, K = 175, S = 41.98 (mg dm-3), Ca = 0.97, and Mg = 0.36 (cmolc dm-3).

The cultivars Itapua 501, Amarelo SF 134, and Rubi Gigante showed good performances for morphophysiological parameters. The cultivars that presented the highest chlorophyll indices were Proveito, Itapua 501, All Big, and Amarelo Satrapo. The cultivar Amarelo Satrapo presented the highest adaptation to the climate conditions of southeastern Para.
Revisão crítica dos argumentos “oficiais” da nova alocação de recursos federais para Atenção Primária
Authors: Andrade Couto Joaquim Gabriel , Mendes Aquilas , Carnut Leonardo
Published: September 2023

O primeiro ano do governo Bolsonaro foi marcado pela implementação do Programa Previne Brasil, que alterou de maneira significativa a forma de alocação de recursos destinados à Atenção Primária à Saúde – APS no Brasil. À frente desse processo esteve o médico Erno Harzheim, o qual atuou como Secretário de APS entre 2019 e 2020. Harzheim também produziu artigos científicos em defesa do novo modelo de financiamento da APS. Dessa forma, esse artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão crítica dos argumentos utilizados pelo autor em defesa da nova forma de alocação de recursos federais à APS. Utilizou-se a revisão narrativa como método de pesquisa, tendo a estratégia de busca sido realizada no currículo do autor na Plataforma Lattes. A seleção dos artigos passou pelo protocolo PRISMA, resultando em um total de 10 artigos. Os principais argumentos apresentados por Harzheim abordam os conceitos de eficiência e equidade em uma perspectiva neoclássica e utilitarista, demonstrando que as mudanças recentes na APS estão alinhadas com os avanços neoliberais no campo da saúde, abrindo espaço para a entrada do setor privado nos serviços de APS do Brasil. Assim, o novo modelo propõe uma APS orientada por uma perspectiva focalizadora, neoseletiva e de caráter mercadológico.

Authors: Lucena de Melo Andressa Názara , Cecília da Silva Liliane , Figueroa Pedraza Dixis
Published: September 2023

O conhecimento sobre alimentação infantil da população e dos profissionais de saúde é um determinante importante das práticas de amamentação. O estudo teve como objetivo identificar o conhecimento de enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família do estado da Paraíba sobre alimentação infantil e sua associação com características demográficas e profissionais. A pesquisa tem delineamento transversal, na qual foi aplicado um questionário validado, adaptado, para verificar o conhecimento dos profissionais sobre alimentação infantil, constituído por 21 perguntas. O grau de conhecimento sobre alimentação infantil foi expresso por meio de um escore de 0–21 para o qual resposta correta teve atribuída a pontuação um e incorreta a pontuação zero. O teste t foi usado para verificar diferenças na Média±Desvio Padrão do grau de conhecimento segundo perfil demográfico e profissional. O projeto teve aprovação ética. Os participantes assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. A maioria dos enfermeiros era de idade ≤40 anos, não tinha participado de capacitação sobre alimentação infantil e não estava comprometido com a Estratégia Amamenta e Alimenta Brasil. O período de aleitamento materno exclusivo e o melhor substituto do leite materno na impossibilidade da amamentação se destacaram como conhecimentos positivos. Contudo, a concepção de aleitamento materno predominante e a recomendação sobre os grupos alimentares que devem estar presentes no almoço a partir dos seis meses apresentaram baixas frequências de respostas corretas. O grau de conhecimento foi de 15,0±2,95, com maior escore entre enfermeiros com idade ≤40 anos (p=0,019). Conclui-se, o conhecimento dos enfermeiros sobre alimentação infantil é adequado em relação ao aleitamento materno exclusivo, mas inadequado para o aleitamento materno predominante e a introdução alimentar recomendada a partir dos seis meses de idade.

Published: September 2023

Many researchers engaged in energy and development research are involved in collaborative projects with research partners in different countries. To ensure success, these collaborations must be inclusive and balanced. Researchers and multilateral organisations are starting to take notice of the potential negative impacts of unbalanced research collaborations. There is an urgent need for more scrutiny of the inequities in the research process and to create more inclusive environments that allow researchers from the Global South to contribute solutions for challenges in their local contexts. Through workshops and a survey of researchers engaged in energy and development research, this paper attempts to partially fill this gap by investigating the challenges in collaborative projects faced by researchers in the Global South and Global North. The main findings show significant differences in the research experience of the two groups of researchers with respect to administrative burdens, access to resources, research roles and communication. We present several recommendations for how to address the inequities in collaborative research projects.
Life after Youth
Authors: Ohm Jiwon
Published: September 2023

The Middle Ages, despite its real existence, is often seen and used by fantasy writers as a tabula rasa to engrave their imagined stories. Its seeming state of blankness due to its distant time and lack of recorded histories allows the period to be used as a background for imaginative creations of creatures, peoples, and stories to engage with social issues pertaining to specific periods and places as well as the same issues that arise in different forms depending on the period and location. This article explores J.R.R. Tolkien's works on Middle-earth and Kazuo Ishiguro's The Buried Giant to illustrate how fantasy literature engages with the concept of (eternal-)youth and ageing. While Tolkien disrupts the idealization of (eternal-)youth through the fates of humans and imaginative races, Kazuo Ishiguro presents the value, growth and meaningfulness of life up until its very end by having readers follow the quest of an elderly couple. Both Tolkien and Ishiguro illuminate the meaningfulness and value of the lives of the aged up until the brink of death.
Crones, Care Homes, and Crises
Authors: French Jade Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

In this article, French focuses on the titular hearing trumpet of Leonora Carrington's novella as a crucial yet under-explored everyday object in a surreal narrative. Turning to the 'material cultures of growing older', the chapter examines how Carrington uses more-than-human objects and spaces to augment the fantastical representations of older age. The chapter explores the themes of self-identity, institutionalism, and hybridity to offer a new perspective on how the narrator's journey circumvents the chronological life span: Marian's journey suggests that time passing represents an opportunity for growth and futurity enhanced by the material cultures of growing older.
Ausweitung der Coachingzone
Authors: Roloff Simon
Published: September 2023

Originalität, Flexibilität und Intensität zählen zu den entscheidenden Eigenschaften der zeitgenössischen Mittelschicht. Simon Roloff erfährt dies am eigenen Leib und erkundet Schauplätze der Einübung eines Habitus: Er wird zu seinem Traumjob gecoacht, improvisiert mit Managern und geht für die Ausschöpfung seiner inneren Ressourcen barfuß über glühende Kohlen. Durch einen innovativen Mix aus teilnehmenden Beobachtungen, autoethnografischen Analysen und lyrischen Montagen führt er seine Erlebnisse aus dem Fundus der Selbstverbesserung zu einem kritischen Paradigma der Gegenwart zusammen - und erzählt dabei eine Mikrogeschichte der Implementierung von klassenbasierten Normen am Subjekt.
Inventive/Interventive Demokratie?
Authors: Rigamonti Nora
Published: September 2023

Wie können gesellschaftliche Veränderungen und Streitfragen sinnlich erfahrbar und öffentlich verständlich kommuniziert werden? Nora Rigamonti nimmt experimentelle Zukunftsszenarien der umstrittenen europäischen »Flüchtlingsfrage« in den Blick, die mithilfe einer expliziten Gestaltung und Verbindung von politischen und ästhetischen Praktiken konstituiert werden. Am Beispiel der Szenarien analysiert sie, ob und inwiefern diese nicht nur als in(ter)ventive Instrumente zur alternativen Lösungsfindung auf gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Kontroversen reagieren, sondern ob sie auch der zunehmenden Fragilität liberal-demokratischer Ordnungen begegnen können.
Das Narrativ vom »großen Austausch«
Authors: Kutscher Nadja
Published: September 2023

Geburtenzahlen und Migration als Untergangsmythos: Der »große Austausch« hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren zur wohl wichtigsten sinnstiftenden Erzählung der sogenannten Neuen Rechten entwickelt. Nadja Kutscher macht anhand einer Analyse einschlägiger Texte deutlich, wie auf vermeintlicher Faktenbasis mit rassistisch-sexistischen Markern ein Volksaustausch konstruiert wird. Der rassifizierte Feind erscheint hier als Gefahr für das deutsche Volk und die deutsche Frau. Es wird deutlich: Ziel dieses Narrativs ist nicht die Rettung eines - selbst in den Augen der Neurechten rein illusionären - deutschen Volkes, sondern die Zementierung von Grenzen und Verachtung.
Diferencia entre escuelas en la ciudad de Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Authors: Serrati Pablo Santiago
Published: September 2023

Las diferencias entre escuelas son un aspecto importante de las desigualdades educativas en un contexto de expansión de la cobertura. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores que explican estas diferencias entre las escuelas en el nivel medio de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Metodológicamente se utiliza un enfoque en tándem, en el que se combina un análisis factorial múltiple y un agrupamiento difuso basado en k-medias. Como resultados del análisis se identifica una diferenciación de la oferta educativa basada en dos dimensiones principales: por un lado, el origen social y el rendimiento educativo, y por el otro la homogeneidad social de la matrícula. Como parte de las conclusiones, se cuestiona la pertinencia de utilizar los conceptos de “segmentación” y “fragmentación” para caracterizar la diferencia entre escuelas en el caso estudiado. A su vez, los resultados ponen en duda la existencia de límites definidos entre los grupos de escuelas, siendo más precisa la idea de un continuo de diferenciación. Se propone pensar la diferencia entre escuelas del nivel medio en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires desde el concepto de “espacio continuo, desigual y jerarquizado”. Este enfoque relacional entiende la diferencia entre escuelas como expresión de un espacio continuo multidimensional que integra a las escuelas dentro de un entramado de desigualdades global
Clinical analysis of severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia: Case series study
Authors: Zheng Xi , Wu Chonghao , Jiang Bing , Qin Guangmei , Zeng Ming
Published: September 2023

The clinical characteristics and diagnosis of ten cases with severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia were analyzed. Ten patients had high fever, cough, or diarrhea, and all had a history of contact with birds or poultry. The white blood cell count of the patients was normal or slightly increased. The percentage of neutrophils (N%) and C reactive protein of the patients were significantly increased. Chest computer tomography showed patchy consolidation of both lungs, with one-sided lung lobes prominent, and bronchial inflation signs. All the patients were admitted to the intensive care unit due to respiratory failure. Nine patients needed ventilator-assisted ventilation therapy, and one patient needed high-flow oxygen therapy. All patients had sepsis, and five patients developed septic shock. The patients were diagnosed with severe C. psittaci pneumonia by clinical manifestations and contact history. After timely adjustment of tetracycline-based treatment, eight patients recovered and were discharged, and two patients died of septic shock and respiratory failure. Patients with poultry contact should be cautious toward C. psittaci pneumonia. A better method for the detection of C. psittaci is metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Its examination can shorten the diagnosis time. In a later stage, large-sample research is needed to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Review: tunable nanophotonic metastructures
Authors: Ling Yi-Chun , Yoo Sung Joo Ben
Published: September 2023

Tunable nanophotonic metastructures offer new capabilities in computing, networking, and imaging by providing reconfigurability in computer interconnect topologies, new optical information processing capabilities, optical network switching, and image processing. Depending on the materials and the nanostructures employed in the nanophotonic metastructure devices, various tuning mechanisms can be employed. They include thermo-optical, electro-optical (e.g. Pockels and Kerr effects), magneto-optical, ionic-optical, piezo-optical, mechano-optical (deformation in MEMS or NEMS), and phase-change mechanisms. Such mechanisms can alter the real and/or imaginary parts of the optical susceptibility tensors, leading to tuning of the optical characteristics. In particular, tunable nanophotonic metastructures with relatively large tuning strengths (e.g. large changes in the refractive index) can lead to particularly useful device applications. This paper reviews various tunable nanophotonic metastructures’ tuning mechanisms, tuning characteristics, tuning speeds, and non-volatility. Among the reviewed tunable nanophotonic metastructures, some of the phase-change-mechanisms offer relatively large index change magnitude while offering non-volatility. In particular, Ge–Sb–Se–Te (GSST) and vanadium dioxide (VO2) materials are popular for this reason. Mechanically tunable nanophotonic metastructures offer relatively small changes in the optical losses while offering large index changes. Electro-optically tunable nanophotonic metastructures offer relatively fast tuning speeds while achieving relatively small index changes. Thermo-optically tunable nanophotonic metastructures offer nearly zero changes in optical losses while realizing modest changes in optical index at the expense of relatively large power consumption. Magneto-optically tunable nanophotonic metastructures offer non-reciprocal optical index changes that can be induced by changing the magnetic field strengths or directions. Tunable nanophotonic metastructures can find a very wide range of applications including imaging, computing, communications, and sensing. Practical commercial deployments of these technologies will require scalable, repeatable, and high-yield manufacturing. Most of these technology demonstrations required specialized nanofabrication tools such as e-beam lithography on relatively small fractional areas of semiconductor wafers, however, with advanced CMOS fabrication and heterogeneous integration techniques deployed for photonics, scalable and practical wafer-scale fabrication of tunable nanophotonic metastructures should be on the horizon, driven by strong interests from multiple application areas.

The results can be used to solve the problem of protecting the environment from certain harmful pollutants.
Role of the impurities in 2D spin crossover nanoparticle: Monte Carlo study
Authors: Ivashko V. , Krulikovskyi O. , Samila A.
Published: September 2023

This work is devoted to the study of the impurities effect in 2D spin crossover nanosystem in frame work of an Ising-like model. Results were obtained by means of Monte Carlo modeling technique, based on the heat bath algorithm. It is shown, that the impurities change the system’s thermal hysteresis width and shift the spin transition curves (HS → LS). In this manner, impurities can act as an additional influence parameter on the transition curves. The considered effect is not significant, but nevertheless should be taken into account in the developing process of nanoscale devices based on spin crossover compounds.

Authors: Kogut I.T. , Dzundza B.S. , Holota V.I. , Bulbuk O.I. , Fedoriuk V.V. , Nykyruy L.I.
Published: September 2023

The paper presents the results of computer modeling of the proposed functional-electrical circuit of integrated signal converters (ISC) from photosensitive elements based on CMOS operational amplifiers, which is intended for the construction of an element base of hybrid sensor microsystems for biomedical applications. A feature of this ISC is the regulation and filtering of the amplitude of the constant component in the amplified signal from the diode photosensitive element in the wave range of 400 - 1040 nm.

Computer simulation of the functioning of the device was carried out, the constituent components were determined and their parametric optimization was carried out. The results of experimental studies and computer modeling agree well, which confirms the correct functioning of the proposed signal converter from photosensitive elements. The developed ISC is suitable for creating real devices, both on the basis of discrete components and in an integrated design, as an element of sensor microsystems-on-a-chip or intelligent sensors.
Theoretical Investigation on Thermal, Mechanical and Ultrasonic Properties of Zirconium Metal with Pressure
Authors: Srivastav P. , Prajapati A.K. , Yadawa P.K.
Published: September 2023

Zirconium (Zr), a metal with an hcp structure, has been investigated for the transmission of acoustic wave in the 0 to 25 GPa operating pressure. For this, the Lennard-Jones interaction potential approach has been used to estimate the higher order elastic coefficients (SOECs and TOECs). This model is used to calculate the 2nd and 3rd order elastic parameters for zirconium metal. With the help of SOECs, other elastic moduli such as bulk modulus (B), Young’s modulus (Y) and shear modulus (G) have been calculated for Zr metal using Voigt-Reuss-Hill (VRH) approximations. Later, applying SOECs as well as zirconium density under the same pressure range, three orientation dependent acoustic velocities, comprising Debye average velocities, have been studied. Basic thermal characteristics such as specific heat at constant volume, thermal conductivity associated with lattice, thermal energy density, thermal relaxation time as well as acoustic coupling coefficients of zirconium metal have been also calculated at same pressure range. The computation is also satisfactory in estimating the ultrasonic attenuation coefficients, arises due to the interaction of phonons, hardness as well as melting temperature under various pressures in this research work.

Hızla gelişen teknoloji, birçok yeni kavramı hayatımıza katmakta, insanlığı büyük bir dönüşümün içine sokmaktadır. Teknolojinin hayatımıza kattığı en temel kavramlardan birisi de, kullanımı neredeyse tüm alanlarda yaygınlaşan yapay zekâdır. Özellikle yapay zekâya hukuksal bir kişilik atanıp atanamayacağı, yapay zekânın hukuken sorumlu tutulup tutulmayacağı güncel sorunsallardandır. Bu bağlamda öğretide köle, eşya gibi statülere kıyas yapan görüşlerle beraber elektronik kişilik ve tüzel kişilik benzeri kişilik yaklaşımları da öne çıkmaktadır. Günümüzde şirketlerin yönetiminde yapay zekâdan faydalanılması, hatta yapay zekânın şirket yöneticisi olarak atanması dahi gündeme gelmekte iken, yapay zekânın kişiliği ve sorumluluğu meselesinin netleştirilmesi ve kodifiye edilmesi zorunluluğunun hukuki bir gereklilik olarak karşımızda durduğu açıktır. Bu bağlamda, yapay zekâya tüzel kişilik benzeri soyut bir elektronik kişilik atanarak bu yolla kişilik sahibi ve sorumlu kılınmasının isabetli olduğunu, şirket yönetiminde de yapay zekânın yeteneklerinden en üstteki yönetici konumunda değil de yardımcı/danışman olarak faydalanılmasının makul bir yol ve yöntem olduğunu düşünüyoruz.

This review examined the viability of hydrodynamic cavitation as a pretreatment method to improve biodegradability and reduce toxicity in alcoholic vinasse. The growing interest in environmental impacts and the demand for sustainable solutions in the alcohol production industry have driven the search for efficient methods to treat vinasse, a complex and polluting by-product. The basic principles of hydrodynamic cavitation and its application in contaminant removal are explored in detail. Through a critical review of existing research, the efficiency of removal of organic load and recalcitrant contaminants, the influence of geometric parameters, the operational parameters of the process, and the challenges of applying hydrodynamic cavitation as pretreatment of alcoholic vinasse are analyzed. Despite its limitations, its potential as a solution to address pollution problems in alcohol production stands out. Ultimately, this review aims not only to collect and analyze the available information but also to encourage future research in this direction. Therefore, this review article is presented as an essential resource that guides future researchers and practitioners towards more sustainable and effective solutions, significantly contributing to environmental improvements in the industry.

Published: September 2023

Assessment of the applicability of neutralization station wastewater in combination with nanofiltration for watering green spaces. To achieve this objective, various analyses were carried out, including pH, conductivity, suspended solids, chlorides, nitrates, sulfates, bicarbonates, silica, total nitrogen, BOD5, COD and heavy metals. The results of our analyses showed that most of the parameters analyzed complied with the standards in force for water intended for the irrigation of green spaces. A few values slightly outside the recommended ranges were observed, mainly due to the cationic resin regeneration process. With regard to heavy metals, the levels found were all below the regulatory threshold values, indicating a low risk of contamination by these elements. On the basis of these results, a number of recommendations were made to demonstrate the feasibility of using discharges from the neutralization pit for watering green spaces, subject to the implementation of appropriate treatment and monitoring measures.

The main aim of this study is to analyze articles and trends relating to the industry-university-research (IUR) collaborative innovation mechanism in China; as well as determine key authors and journals focusing on this area; in addition to performing a cluster analysis of related authors and journals; analyze prominent research themes; and also understand the evolution of associated research hotspots. Based on a review of 451 articles linked to research on the IUR collaborative innovation mechanism in China that was obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, this paper used the COOC software to analyze the co-occurrence of keywords, while the VOSviewer software was used to visualize the results of the ensuing text analysis. The results show that the research is divided into three phases as follows: the start-up phase (which is from 2007–2011), the high-speed development phase (which is from 2012-2014), and the slow development phase (which is from 2015–2022). Moreover, university and innovation-driven research, higher vocational colleges and industry-university-research-use, as well as innovation and IUR collaborative innovation research, and the evolutionary game and government-industry-university-research were the four main research themes that were identified in the CNKI database. Thus, this evolutionary trend divulges three main clues i.e., research theory, research subjects, and research methods.

Published: September 2023

An Indonesian group known as the Kajang tribe has a history of Basing Kelong after funerals. Kelong Basing is a distinctive tradition that is still practiced today. This custom hasn't, however, been publicly recorded. Documentation needs to be completed in order for the Basing Kelong to continue to be viable and well-maintained. This study aims to illustrate how the Ammatoa people of the Kajang tribe express the path of human existence in their Basing Kelong. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology. The study incorporates literary ecology theories. The Ammatoa people of the Kajang tribe, who spoke Basing's Kelong, are the source of the research's data. Data was gathered in the field and at the library. The data were analyzed based on diction and diction strands in Basing Kelong. Diction and strings of diction are transcribed and transliterated to get messages, meanings, and values. The research succeeded in finding three representations of human life in the Basing Kelong, a resident of the Ammatoa tribe of Kajang, namely: the human biological mother is the land, which is the source of life; humans in the world are only temporary, so they must live a simple life, and humans must be patient so that in the world and the hereafter they can find happiness and serenity. These three results were obtained by using a literary ecological study approach to the Basing Kelong. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Ammatoa people of the Kajang tribe have always inherited the application of life ethics and social ethics in living life in the universe.

Authors: Ruiz-Santiago Roberto Rafael , Ballina-Gómez Horacio Salomón , Ruiz-Sánchez Esaú
Published: September 2023

Las plantas responden a cambios bióticos y abióticos acorde a su plasticidad fenotípica. Estas variaciones pueden expresarse en características relacionadas a la morfología foliar, crecimiento y defoliación. Este estudio evalúa la influencia de la edad de las plantas y de hojas sobre las características foliares, y su relación con la defoliación en tres especies forrajeras, Tithonia diversifolia, Morus alba y Moringa oleifera. M. oleifera mostró hojas con mayores valores de grosor, peso seco, asimetría y área; M. alba hojas más duras y con mayor área foliar especifica. M. oleifera el área foliar, peso seco, grosor y dureza incrementaron en plantas de 30 días. En tanto, que en M. alba las hojas intermedias tuvieron mayor área; y, las plantas de 90 días mayores valores de SLA, grosor y dureza. El área foliar y peso seco fueron mayores a los 60 y 30 días, respectivamente. En T. diversifolia las hojas intermedias presentaron mayor peso seco y grosor, las plantas de 30 días mayor área foliar y peso seco; y, las de 90 días, mayor grosor. Se encontraron relaciones negativas en hojas jóvenes con el grosor, dureza y peso seco. La defoliación mostró asociaciones positivas con el SLA y la dureza; y, negativas con el grosor, peso seco, asimetría y área. Subrayamos la importancia de realizar estudios que contribuyan al entendimiento de interrelaciones entre la estructura de la hoja, su función y sus relaciones con la expresión de los rasgos morfológicos de resistencia y tolerancia en especies tropicales de importancia económica y ecológica.
