Published: February 2023

O acesso à informação pública é direito garantido pela Constituição Brasileira, regulamentado pela Lei de Acesso à Informação e previsto em normativas ambientais. O Ministério do Meio Ambiente dispõe de uma Política de Informação, que deve orientar e dar diretrizes para a construção do Sistema Nacional de Informações sobre Meio Ambiente. Nessa direção, a Agenda 2030, é um documento da Organização das Nações Unidas, que dispõe de 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e 169 metas que visam contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável em âmbito global. O estudo deu destaque ao ODS 4 “Educação de qualidade” e o ODS 16 “Paz, Justiça e Instituições Eficazes” e suas respectivas metas:  4.7; 16.6 e a 16.10. A pesquisa objetiva analisar as principais normativas ambientais que preveem o acesso à informação pública, compará-las com a Lei de Acesso à Informação e, posteriormente, compreender de que forma elas podem contribuir para o alcance da Agenda 2030. Classifica-se como exploratória e descritiva. Como resultado identificou-se que o acesso público aos dados e informações públicas são contemplados pela LAI e algumas normativas ambientais. Conclui-se que as Leis estudadas se complementam, existindo um link hierárquico e evolutivo entre elas. Quanto ao alcance das metas, identificou-se que as normativas contribuem para o alcance dos ODS (4 e 16), pois trabalham a educação ambiental de forma inclusa e a transparência das informações nas instituições públicas.

Desde a década de 1970 a prática do desflorestamento vem se intensificando na região da Amazônia, sendo assim, a Amazônia passou a sofrer com a retirada dos recursos naturais, cobertura vegetal, e a inserção de grandes empreendimentos, como é o caso da Usina Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte (UHEBM). O fato do desflorestamento aumentar ano após ano na região Amazônica, coloca em risco a vida dos povos tradicionais. Destaca-se no presente trabalho a terras indígenas Paquiçamba e Arara da Volta Grande do Xingu, na qual elas estão inseridas na Área Diretamente Afetada (ADA). Dessa forma, foram analisados os índices de desflorestamento desde os anos 2000 a 2020, no qual o levantamento dos dados para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi utilizado às técnicas de geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto, para a análise dos índices. Estes dados foram obtidos na plataforma do Projeto de Mapeamento Anual da Cobertura e Uso do Solo do Brasil (MapBiomas), para a elaboração dos mapas foi utilizado o software QGIS. Com a análise dos dados, pode-se verificar que o índice de desflorestamento se intensificou nas terras indígenas Paquiçamba e Arara da Volta Grande do Xingu dentre os anos de 2000 a 2020, sobretudo com a instalação da Usina Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte.

Six Practical Recommendations Enabling Ethical Use of Predictive Learning Analytics in Distance Education
Authors: Rets Irina , Herodotou Christothea , Gillespie Anna
Published: February 2023

The progressive move of higher education institutions (HEIs) towards blended and online environments, accelerated by COVID-19, and their access to a greater variety of student data has heightened the need for ethical learning analytics (LA). This need is particularly salient in light of a lack of comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines on ethics that address gaps voiced in LA ethics research. Studies on the topic are predominantly conceptual, representing mainly institutional rather than stakeholder views, with some areas of ethics remaining underexplored. In this paper, we address this need by using a case of four years of interdisciplinary research in developing the award-winning Early Alerts Indicators (EAI) dashboard at a distance learning university. Through a lens focused on ethical considerations and informed by the practical approach to ethics, we conducted a case study review, using 10 relevant publications that report on the development and implementation of the tool. Our six practical recommendations on how to ethically engage with LA can inform an ethical development of LA that not only protects student privacy, but also ensures that LA tools are used in ways that effectively support student learning and development.
Próba uporządkowania chaosu interpretacyjnego wokół zwolnień z opodatkowania dochodów organizacji non profit
Authors: Kuźniacki Błażej , Krasnodębski Robert
Published: February 2023

Artykuł stanowi próbę wykazania błędnego stosowania wykładni zawężającej na przykładzie zwolnienia z opodatkowania podatkiem dochodowym od osób prawnych dochodów uzyskiwanych przez organizacje non profit. Autorzy krytycznie analizują chaos interpretacyjny do-tyczący sposobu lokowania dochodów na cele statutowe, w szczególności w zakresie wydatkowania bezpośredniego i pośredniego. Analiza orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych ukazuje, że często stosują one interpretacyjną „drogę na skróty”, tj. rozstrzygają spory bez przekonującego uzasadnienia twierdzenia interpretacyjnego, np. dotyczącego zastosowania wykładni zawężającej. W efekcie właściwa wykładnia przepisów prawa podatkowego zastępowana jest ustaleniami intuicyjnymi, opar tymi głównie na niemającej dostatecznego uzasadnienia w polskim systemie prawa konieczności stosowania wykładni zawężającej przepisów o ulgach i zwolnieniach podatkowych.

Актуальность: необходимость создания методики различения близких по изотопному составу кислорода и водорода водоемов на основании их изотопно-концентрационных характеристик. Цель: сопоставить изотопно-концентрационные характеристики отдельных водоемов, выявить их применимость для оценки различий водоемов, имеющих близкие изотопные составы кислорода и водорода. Методы. Лабораторное изучение химического состава природных вод методами титриметрии, ионной хроматографии, масс-спектрометрии с индуктивно связанной плазмой проводилось в проблемной научно-исследовательской лаборатории гидрогеохимии Инженерной школы природных ресурсов Томского политехнического университета. Определение комплекса величин δD, δ18O, δ13СDIC вод и растворенного неорганического углерода проводилось в центре коллективного пользования Института геологии и минералогии СО РАН с помощью прибора Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer FinniganTM MAT 253, снабженного приставками пробоподготовки H/Device и GasBench II. Результаты. Представлены данные изотопных исследований природных вод с. Скала Новосибирской области (Россия). Изотопный состав кислорода и водорода указывает на метеорно-инфильтрационное происхождение всех изученных вод. Большинство изученных объектов имеют изотопные характеристики, сопоставимые с другими объектами области: от –142 до –114 ‰ для δD, от –18,5 до –11,6 ‰ для δ18O. Неординарный изотопный состав кислорода и водорода зафиксирован для пробы подземной воды, отобранной в с. Скала: легкий изотопный состав кислорода и водорода вместе с повышенными значениями дейтериевого эксцесса. По изотопно-концентрационной характеристике растворенного неорганического углерода изученные воды разделены на три группы: дренажные воды карьеров с низким содержанием растворенного неорганического углерода тяжелого изотопного состава (значения δ13CDIC от –5,3 до –4,4 ‰), речные воды с умеренным содержанием растворенного неорганического углерода и широкой вариацией изотопного состава углерода (значения δ13CDIC от –13,3 до –6,8 ‰), подземные воды с максимальным содержанием растворенного неорганического углерода и самым легким из представленных изотопным составом углерода (значения δ13CDIC от –13,3 до –9,2 ‰). Вид характеристики определяется индивидуальными условиями накопления и изотопного обмена вод с окружающей средой.

Актуальность. Эксплуатация техногенных россыпных месторождений осуществляется уже больше ста лет. При этом опыт разработки таких месторождений весьма неоднозначен: значительное количество месторождений успешно эксплуатируются с рентабельностью на уровне отработки целикового месторождения, а некоторые приносят лишь убытки. При этом был выявлен ряд специфических особенностей, в первую очередь связанных с неоднородностью разрабатываемого забоя, присущих техногенным россыпям. В связи с тем, что в настоящее время наблюдается истощение минерально-сырьевой базы россыпной золотодобычи, а основным резервом для ее восполнения являются техногенные месторождения, работа по обобщению опыта их эксплуатации является весьма актуальной. Цель: проанализировать структуру и причины формирования техногенных россыпных месторождений, а также обобщить опыт их эксплуатации. Объекты: техногенные россыпные месторождения. Методы: анализ литературных источников, данных технических проектов, а также опыта предприятий, осуществляющих повторную разработку россыпей. Результаты. Дана общая оценка динамики минерально-сырьевой базы россыпных месторождений. Обоснована перспектива освоения техногенных образований на россыпных месторождениях, и указаны факторы, способствующие этому. По результатам исследований специалистов и изучения опыта работы горных предприятий дана оценка потерям полезного ископаемого и ценных компонентов при разработке россыпей различными способами. Проанализированы структуры техногенных запасов с учетом технологии первичной разработки россыпи. Приведены наиболее перспективные для вовлечения в эксплуатацию техногенные образования. Изложены примеры позитивного и негативного опыта разработки техногенных россыпей. Отмечены причины, сдерживающие развитие повторной разработки россыпных месторождений.

Актуальность. Большинство месторождений ООО «ЛУКОЙЛ-ПЕРМЬ» находятся на завершающей стадии разработки, и на них выполняется большое количество геолого-технических мероприятий. В условиях высокой выработки запасов, обводнения скважин и снижения пластового давления необходимо обосновывать плановые показатели после геолого-технических мероприятий на новом уровне. Цель: разработка алгоритма определения оптимальный величины прироста дебита нефти по технологиям интенсификации. Объекты: данные по использованию геолого-технических мероприятий; пропантного ГРП, радиального бурения и кислотных обработок на карбонатном В3В4 объекте Батырбайского месторождения. Методы: анализ данных по оценке эффективности геолого-технических мероприятий: пропантного ГРП радиального бурения и кислотных обработок с помощью использования регрессионного анализа. Результаты. Предложен алгоритм определения оптимальный величины прироста дебита нефти по технологиям интенсификации с помощью регрессионного анализа. Рассчитана комплексная вероятность по геолого-техническим мероприятиям: радиальное бурение, кислотная обработка и гидравлический разрыв пласта. По построенным распределениям комплексной вероятности удалось определить граничные условия применения технологий, тем самым подтвердить экономическую составляющую в обосновании приростов дебитов нефти. При сопоставлении эффективности нескольких технологий удалось определить наиболее перспективную для карбонатного объекта. Выполнен анализ свободных членов комплексных вероятностей технологий регрессионных уравнений. На каждом диапазоне приростов дебитов нефти принимает участие комплексная вероятность по определенной технологии. Изменение характера распределения значений коэффициентов позволило выявить площадное распространение эффективности. Таким образом, предложенный алгоритм позволил не только статистически обосновать оптимальную величину прироста дебита нефти для объекта разработки, но и оценить эффективность каждой технологии и построить схему прогноза эффективности.

Faith-based organizations' support for older adults in Vietnam: A comparison of Catholic and Buddhist efforts
Authors: Hoang Huong Thu , Nguyen Trang , Medina Catherine K
Published: February 2023

How faith-based organizations (FBOs) take part in the social welfare system for older adults is of interest to policy-makers and researchers in the face of a rapid aging population. Since FBOs are underexplored in Vietnam, this study provides an insightful understanding and analysis of Vietnamese Catholic and Buddhist FBOs’ participation in social service provision to older adults. By conducting secondary data analysis, semi-structured interviews and field observation at some FBOs’ and public social protection centers for older adults, this article presents some insights into the way Catholic and Buddhist organizations provide short and long-term services to older adults, compare Catholic and Buddhist services, and discuss the challenges of sustainability. To advance understanding, authors also analyze the findings on the context of the complicated relationships between FBOs, government and the welfare state in Vietnam. Based on the findings, the authors suggest a coordinated and planned universalization strategy by the public/ private sectors. Further research is needed to leverage support for the implementation of a cooperative partnership approach in providing social service provisions within a Vietnamese context.
Women in local politics: Insights from Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Indonesia
Authors: Alex Alex , Nasiwan Nasiwan , Abdillah Abdillah , Haris Mutiah
Published: February 2023

Aceh is a region that is still strongly implementing Islamic law and a patriarchal political culture. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of women's participation in local Acehnese politics. This study uses a qualitative-exploratory method with a literature study on the dynamics of women's participation in local Acehnese politics. The results of this study indicate that post tsunami 2004 and the 2005 Helsinki MoU agreement had an impact on openness for Acehnese women in the process of becoming members of the legislature, which is currently experiencing obstacles due to structural, socio-cultural, religious issues, ideology, and the dominance of local Aceh political party elites by men. This has greatly affected the representation of women in Aceh's politics governance, even though during the 2009 to 2019 election year the representation of women in Aceh's politics governance has experienced a fairly good trend of increasing. However, what is being pursued is not the number that increases every year, but the process of fulfilling women's political rights in Aceh. The conclusion of this study is the importance of holding a commitment to fight for women's rights so that they are accommodated in public policies that are sensitive to women's interests, not only as a complement to the quota for women's representation in politics-government.

Published: February 2023

Voter participation in general elections is one of the challenges for general election organizers. Various attempts were made to increase voter participation in every general election. This study aims to identify the role of community-based democracy volunteers in increasing the voter participation, analyzing the increase in voter participation, and analyzing the obstacles that affect the implementation of community based democracy volunteer activities in 2019 in Pekalongan City. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach case study toward The General Elections Commission of Pekalongan City. The results suggested that the role of community-based democracy volunteers in increasing voter participation was manifested through the socialization of elections to the community, considering the large number of communities in Pekalongan and the members who were also voters in the 2019 election. The socialization carried out by community-based democracy volunteers in Pekalongan greatly influenced the increase in voter turnout in the 2019 elections which reached 84%. The obstacles occurred during socialization by community-based democracy volunteers could be properly resolved. Community-based democracy volunteers have a very important role in increasing voter participation in elections through socialization activities carried out.

Authors: Lima Lopes Danielle , Souza Almeida Antonio Gabriel
Published: February 2023

A qualidade do ar interior (QAI) é tema de saúde pública, tornando fundamental a identificação dos fatores que a influenciam e podem torná-la uma ameaça à saúde humana, favorecendo a propagação de patógenos e o desenvolvimento de doenças. A pandemia do COVID-19 tornou a discussão, a análise e as readaptações ambientais e de práticas ainda mais necessárias. Este artigo, por meio de uma revisão da literatura, objetivou identificar e sintetizar evidências das implicações da qualidade do ar interno para a saúde humana e da sua contribuição para o controle de contaminantes, facilitando assim a compreensão e consequentemente contribuindo para a tomada de decisões no controle da disseminação viral no combate à pandemia do COVID-19. Nesta revisão utilizou-se as bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, SCIENCE DIRECT, PUBMED E GOOGLE SCHOLAR, além de Resoluções e Portarias Ministeriais Nacionais, Normas e Diretrizes internacionais. No geral, a literatura evidencia que a QAI impacta diretamente na saúde humana, com efeitos a curtos e longo prazo. Além disso, os estudos mostraram que a disseminação viral é ainda maior em ambientes fechados, lotados e com ventilação inadequada. Dessa forma, evidencia-se a importância do aprimoramento dos estudos e da implementação de uma gestão integrada e multissistêmica.

A energia solar é um recurso renovável e de alta disponibilidade. Com a crescente crise energética e os impactos ambientais causados pela emissão de gases do efeito estufa, a sua utilização se torna cada vez mais importante. A região Nordeste do Brasil, principalmente no semiárido, apresenta o mais elevado nível de irradiação solar do país e pouca nebulosidade, características vantajosas para sistemas com base nesse recurso. Apesar disso, a região sofre com altas temperaturas e crise hídrica, o que afeta o conforto térmico das pessoas e a geração de eletricidade, fazendo do Nordeste referência para aplicação de sistemas de poligeração. Utilizando simulação computacional, este estudo analisa a viabilidade de um sistema de geração combinada, climatização e eletricidade com energia solar, como fonte única, realizando um projeto piloto para instalação desse tipo de sistema em um hospital na cidade de Buritirama, no sertão baiano. O estudo desenvolvido demonstra viabilidade técnica para utilização do sistema, com ambas as demandas energéticas sendo totalmente fornecidas apenas por fonte solar, produzindo 145,6 MWh/a para o sistema térmico 53,49 MWh/a para o fotovoltaico, ambos acima da demanda.

Os fungos endofíticos vivem em simbiose com a planta hospedeira, sendo que muitos podem apresentar a capacidade de produzir os mesmos metabólitos ativos que seus hospedeiros, tornando-se um reservatório de uma infinidade de produtos naturais. Esta pesquisa investigou a planta Mirindiba (Buchenavia tomentosa) e a atividade antimicrobiana exercida pela planta e por fungos endofíticos isolados de suas folhas. Extratos aquosos da Planta e dos fungos foram testados contra bactérias e um fungo filamentoso, sendo que os extratos do vegetal e dos fungos apresentaram inibição das seguintes bactérias patogênicas: Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus epidermidis e Shigella flexneri e do fungo fitopatogênico Rhizopus stolonifer, demonstrando seu potencial biotecnológico como produtores de substâncias antimicrobianas. As concentrações inibitórias mínimas (CIMs) dos fungos que apresentaram propriedades antimicrobianas foram determinadas. Dois fungos (FC12 e FC31) inibiram as 3 bactérias testadas. Todas as bactérias foram inibidas por pelo menos um fungo na concentração de 25 µg/ml. Uma atividade antifúngica também foi observada pela difusão de substâncias produzidas pelo isolado (FC123), que inibiu em 53% o crescimento de Rhizopus stolonifer, causador da podridão mole em frutos. Este é o primeiro relato de isolamento e avaliação das propriedades antimicrobianas de fungos endofíticos da B. tomentosa.

Published: February 2023

Auto-labeling is one of the main challenges in 3D vehicle detection. Auto-labeled datasets can be used to identify objects in LiDAR data, which is a challenging task due to the large size of the dataset. In this work, we propose a novel methodology to generate new 3D based auto-labeling datasets with a different point of view setup than the one used in the most recognized datasets (KITTI, WAYMO, etc.). The performance of the methodology has been further demonstrated with the development of our own dataset with the auto-generated labels and tested under boundary conditions on a bridge in a fixed position. The proposed methodology is based on the YOLO model trained with the KITTI dataset. From a camera-LiDAR sensory fusion, it is intended to auto-label new datasets while maintaining the consistency of the Ground Truth. The main contribution of this work is a novel methodology to auto-label autonomous driving datasets using YOLO as the main labelling system. The performance of this approach is measured retraining the contrast models of the KITTI benchmark.

Targets for finished livestock are often determined by expected fat, either subcutaneous or intramuscular. These targets are used frequently to improve the chances of acceptable eating quality. Lower intramuscular fat, lack of product uniformity, and reduced or insufficient tenderness can negatively impact beef acceptability. This study aimed to investigate differences in gene expression that potentially alter subsequent metabolism and intercellular signaling in the muscle and proximate intermuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissue in beef carcasses at different fat endpoints. In this study, Longissimus thoracis muscle samples and associated adipose tissue were collected at harvest. RNA was harvested from both tissues, and individual samples were sequenced using RNAseq. Differential expression was determined using edgeR, and p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. A corrected p-value of 0.005 and log₂ (fold change) of 1 was set as the threshold to identify differential expression of genes. Comparison between intermuscular fat and subcutaneous fat showed no differences between the genes activated in the two adipose tissue depots, suggesting that subcutaneous fat could be sampled to evaluate changes in adipose tissue. Carcass data allowed the classification of carcasses by projected USDA quality grades (marbling targets). In the comparison between muscle from Standard and Choice carcasses, 15 genes were downregulated, and 20 were upregulated. The insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS 1) gene was the only known functionally important gene to be differentially expressed. There were 49 downregulated genes and 113 upregulated genes in the comparison between adipose tissue from Standard and Choice carcasses. These genes are mostly related to the metabolism of fat and energy. This potentially indicates that muscle is not changing at the transcript level as much as the adipose tissue at the sampled endpoints. Also, subcutaneous fat can be used to evaluate transcript changes in both subcutaneous and intermuscular fat. However, it is not clear if these fat tissues can be used as surrogates for intramuscular fat or marbling.

Pairs of pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) and tRNAPyl from Methanosarcina mazei and Methanosarcina barkeri are widely used for site-specific incorporations of non-canonical amino acids into proteins (genetic code expansion). Previously, we achieved full productivity of cell-free protein synthesis for bulky non-canonical amino acids, including Ne-((((E)-cyclooct-2-en-1-yl)oxy)carbonyl)-L-lysine (TCO*Lys), by using Methanomethylophilus alvus PylRS with structure-based mutations in and around the amino acid binding pocket (first-layer and second-layer mutations, respectively). Recently, the PylRS•tRNAPyl pair from a methanogenic archaeon ISO4-G1 was used for genetic code expansion. In the present study, we determined the crystal structure of the methanogenic archaeon ISO4-G1 PylRS (ISO4-G1 PylRS) and compared it with those of structure-known PylRSs. Based on the ISO4-G1 PylRS structure, we attempted the site-specific incorporation of Ne-(p-ethynylbenzyloxycarbonyl)-L-lysine (pEtZLys) into proteins, but it was much less efficient than that of TCO*Lys with M. alvus PylRS mutants. Thus, the first-layer mutations (Y125A and M128L) of ISO4-G1 PylRS, with no additional second-layer mutations, increased the protein productivity with pEtZLys up to 578% of that with TCO*Lys, at high enzyme concentrations in the cell-free protein synthesis.

Published: February 2023

Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a unique lens to study neuroanatomic support of human neurocognition and intelligence. A core mystery is the MRI explanation of individual differences in neurocognition and intelligence. The past four decades have seen great advancement in studying this century-long mystery, but the sample size and population-level studies limit the explanation at the individual level. The recent rise of big data and artificial intelligence offers novel opportunities. Yet, data sources, harmonization, study design, and interpretation need to be carefully considered. This review aims to summarize past work, discuss rising opportunities and challenges, and facilitate further investigations on machine intelligence inferring human intelligence.

The cost to train a basic qualified U.S. Navy fighter aircraft pilot is nearly $10M. The training includes primary, intermediate, and advanced stages, with the advanced stage involving extensive flight training and being very expensive as a result. Despite the screening tests in place and early-stage attrition taking place, 4.5% of aviators undergo attrition in this most expensive stage. Key reasons for aviator attrition include poor flight scores, voluntary withdrawals, and medical causes. Reduction in late-stage attrition offers several financial and operational benefits to the U.S. Navy. To that end, this research leverages feature extraction and machine-learning techniques on the very sparse flight test grades of student aviators to identify those with a high risk of attrition early in training. Using about 10 years of historical U.S. Navy pilot training data, trained models accurately predicted 50% of attrition with a 4% false positive rate. Such models could help the U.S. Navy save nearly $20M a year in attrition costs. In addition, machine-learning models were trained that can recommend a suitable training aircraft type for each student aviator. These capabilities could help better answer the need for pilots and reduce the time and cost to train them.
Factors Regulating the Differences in Frequency of Infiltration of Th17 and Treg of the Blood-Brain Barrier
Authors: Kubick Norwin , Sacharczuk Mariusz , Mickael Michel
Published: February 2023

Controlling CD4+ immune cells infiltration of the brain is a leading aim in designing therapeutic strategies for a range of neuropathological disorders such as; multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer and depression. CD4+ T cells are a highly heterogeneous and reprogrammable family, that includes various distinctive cell types such as Th17, Th1, and Tregs. Interestingly Th17 and Tregs share a related transcriptomic profile, where the TGFβ-SMADS pathway plays a fundamental role in regulating the differentiation of both of these cell types. However, Th17 could be highly pathogenic and was shown to promote inflammation in various neuropathological disorders. Conversely, Treg is anti-inflammatory and is known to inhibit Th17. It could be noticed that Th17 frequencies of infiltration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in various neurological disorders are significantly upregulated. However, Treg infiltration numbers are significantly low. The reasons behind these contradicting observations are still unknown. In this perspective, we propose that the difference in the TCR repertoire diversity, diapedesis pathways, chemokine expression and mechanical properties of these two cell types could be contributing to answering this intriguing question.
