ABSTRACT This study evaluated biochar influence on water retention in sandy soils with different source materials. Samples from Horizon A of six profiles of Neossolos Quartzarênicos (Salto das Nuvens, Utiariti, Pantanal, Coberturas Detrito Lateríticas Ferruginosas, Botucatu e Bauru formations), collected in different regions of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, were used to determine the hydro-physical characteristics with the addition of biochar. The biochars assessed were produced from two sources of raw material (sugarcane filter cake and cotton husks) under pyrolysis at a temperature of 400 °C. Retention curves for soils with and without biochar, the field capacity, permanent wilting point, available water in the soil, total porosity, macroporosity, and microporosity were determined. The results evidenced that the application of biochar increases the microporosity (86.7% with cotton husks biochar and 67.9% with filter cake biochar) and reduces the microporosity of sandy soils (38.2% with cotton husks biochar and 36.0% with filter cake biochar); also, there was a higher increase in water availability with biochar from cotton husks (57.1%). There was an increase in soil microporosity and a reduction in macroporosity due to the influence of biochar addition in the sandy soils from the Salto das Nuvens, Utiariti, Pantanal e Coberturas Detrito Lateríticas ferruginosas, with no changes in the Botucatu and Bauru Formations. Biochar increases water retention in sandy soils; however, this does not occur for all geological formations studied.

ABSTRACT The study aimed to calibrate and evaluate the DSSAT CSM-CROPGRO-Soybean model to simulate soybean grain yields in the Cerrado of the Southwestern region of Piaui. To parameterize the model, data from the 2019-2020 crop season was used from an experiment installed in the Serra do Quilombo, in Bom Jesus-PI (9º16'20.3'' S, 44º44'56.9'' O, and altitude 620 m). The BRS 8980 IPRO (BRS 8980), BMX 84I86 (Domínio), BMX 81I81RSF IPRO (Extrema), and BMX 8579 IPRO (Bonus) cultivars were evaluated on three sowing dates (11/29/2019, 01/14/2020, and 01/30/2020). The evaluation was conducted using soybean yield data collected in value for cultivation and use (VCU) experiments conducted by Embrapa Meio-Norte at Celeiro farm, Serra do Quilombo, Bom Jesus, PI, during four harvests and involving 61 genotypes. The best statistical indexes showing the efficiency of the calibration process were observed for the BRS 8980 (first sowing season) and Bônus (third sowing season) cultivars, with R2 and D indexes above 0.90. The total biomass production showed high agreement with the measured values, capturing the decrease in production due to the sowing date. The model captured the variability depending on the sowing dates and the yield for simulations of four other agricultural seasons, independent of the season in which the model was calibrated. It was concluded that the model satisfactorily simulated plant growth and soybean grain yield for the conditions of the Cerrado of the Southwestern region of Piaui.

Published: February 2024

The heat transfer and pressure drop of R410A and R32 within a smooth and an enhanced dimpled tube were measured for mass fluxes from 100 to 400 kg m-2 s-1, average vapor qualities between 0.2 and 0.8, and saturation temperatures between 35°C and 45°C. The test section was 2 meters in length, and the outer and inner diameters of the tube were 9.52 and 8.32 mm, respectively. The inner surface of the enhanced tube was dimpled. Three dimpled tubes and three smooth tubes, differing by material (copper, aluminum, and stainless steel) were tested to examine the material effect. The measured condensation heat transfer coefficient (HTC) for the copper smooth tube was 1.10 to 1.16 times higher than that of the aluminum, and likewise, between 1.19 and 1.31 times higher than that of the stainless-steel tube. Similarly, the condensation HTC for the copper dimpled tube was 1.06 to 1.15 times higher than that of the aluminum dimpled tube, and 1.26 to 1.38 times higher than that of stainless-steel dimpled tube. In general, and the condensation HTC for R32 was greater than that for R410A, mainly due to the greater liquid thermal conductivity of R32. Flow patterns were observed for different vapor qualities and used to establish corresponding heat transfer mechanisms. Finally, a new correlation for dimpled tubes was proposed based a modified smooth tube correlation, which predicted the measurements within an error band of 20%.

Abstract : Technology is an inescapable necessity; it dominates almost every aspect of human existence. Emerging technol ogy hel ps to unl ock new possibilities for connecting things/people. At the same time, technological advancement changes industrial trends and the demand for engineering graduates' expertise. Hence, it becomes necessary for the students to imbibe the skills of continuous learning and understand the emerging trends, right from the inception year of engineering education. Also, with an amendment to the national education policy (NEP), the Indian Government has shown its clear intention to promote a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to technological developments through engineering education. Therefore, to accomplish this, it is critical to bridge the gap between industry and academia. The proposed course in this article is an initiative taken by Chitkara University Punjab to bring industry mentors and first-year students face-to-face and promote holistic learning amongst themselves. A total of 1000freshman engineering students took part in this course and participated in the post-course survey to express their satisfaction level with the course thus introduced. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient α = 0.957 shows the high Reliability of data obtained through a survey questionnaire. Students expressed high motivation levels after completion of the course. The survey shows that the course gave the students clarity about the attributes required by the industry, which can help them decide their action points towards their career development. In the future, a hybrid model of teaching-learning can be employed to provide an added advantage of industry mentor interaction with students in live physical space.

The paper focuses on factors emerging due to lack or low participation of IT Industry in overall academic activities contributing to low employability. Authors have developed Total Interpretive Structural Model (TISM) to understand the interplay of industry induced factors, leading to low employability of graduate engineers. Factors considered are limited to the role of IT industry in academia. Qualitative Semi Structured interviews & survey inputs gathered from academic experts including Senior Faculties, Heads of the Departments, Principals and Training and Placement officers from 10 engineering colleges in Maharashtra (India), are considered to arrive at factors highlighting the wanting contribution of IT industry. Total interpretive structural model has been developed for the factors leading to low employability. This model provides a hierarchical structure to the identified factors at four different levels based on their driving power and dependence. The model also portrays factor’s interplay with the help of direct and transitive linkages. Based on the research authors recommend key initiatives at fundamental factors which can have a cascading impact on other dependent factors. This research has implications for IT Industry, academia and academic governing authorities. The study provides an indicative list of strategic factors and the synergistic effect created by their interplay. The relationships amongst these factors are being modeled providing an insight, in terms of cause and effect relationship, prioritizing the areas to be addressed on priority. The proposed model, examining the factors of low employability due to IT industry’s wanting role in academic context is a fresh approach & pioneering one. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that analyzes the factors of low employability of graduate engineers using TISM approach, focusing on IT industry and not on academia, as being done historically.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the concordance of the vestibular bone thickness measured at the level of point A between Teleradiography and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This study consisted of a cross-sectional analytical design of concordance that evaluated the teleradiographies and CBCTs of 32 patients. The measurements were performed by three evaluators, specialists in orthodontics. Two of them measured the CBCTs and one evaluated the teleradiographs. The concordance of both tests was determined using the Concordance Correlation Coefficient. Results: When evaluating the value of the vestibular bone thickness at the level of point A between the CBCT and the teleradiography, it was observed that the mean value of the absolute difference between the two was 0.95±0.74, 95%CI [0.68–1.22], being statistically significant (p=0.0027). When the concordance between both tests was analyzed, it was observed that it was poor (CCC=0.204 95%CI [0.014–0.394]), although statistically significant (p<0.00001). Conclusions: It was possible to conclude that there is no concordance in the measurement of the vestibular bone thickness at the level of Point A between the Teleradiography and the CBCT.

Types of Legal Regulation of Civil Circulation
Authors: Vinichenko Yulia
Published: February 2024

Based on an analysis of domestic doctrinal and legislative provisions, the author considers the types of legal regulation of such legally significant social phenomenon as civil circulation – normative and individual legal regulation. Regarding the normative legal regulation of civil circulation, attention is paid to the fact that the definition “civil” for circulation is tentative and it does not form the subject of regulation exclusively of the branch of civil law. The regulation of circulation at the international, federal, regional and local levels is considered, and as the consequence special attention is paid to the issue of the competence of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities in terms of the adoption of civil law norms. It is emphasized that the establishment of types of subjects and objects of circulation is permissible only at the federal level, and at the regional and local levels only restrictions or the procedure for civil circulation of certain types of objects are detailed. Regarding individual legal regulation, it is stated that it is subnormative in nature, complements normative legal regulation, and is carried out within its framework. Possible grounds for individual legal regulation include: relatively defined, dispositive, imperative norms of law and gaps in positive law. The existing doctrinal approaches to the classification of individual legal regulation are considered, taking into account which the main types of individual legal regulation of civil circulation are proposed to be considered self-organization (streamlining of their relations by the participants themselves) and law enforcement (the activities of the competent authorities to adopt individual legal acts both regulatory and protective regulating the behavior of the subjects of circulation). Subspecies of self-organization, which differ in the way of interaction between subjects, are autonomous and coordinating individual legal regulation; law enforcement according to the specified criterion is classified as subordinated.

Accounting should ensure proper documentation and timely reflection in the primary documents and registers of accounting and tax accounting of all transactions, as well as control the safety and proper use of each accounting object.
In Russia, the process of reforming accounting has been going on for quite a long time, the convergence of the norms of domestic accounting with the norms of IFRS. The main goal of this process is to ensure the possibility of increasing confidence in the information generated in accounting and financial statements. A system of regulatory documents regulating the organization and maintenance of accounting has been developed and continues to be improved, as well as the definition of the role of state and non-state bodies in its creation and improvement. The functions of accounting are changing quite significantly, the variability of accounting procedures is widely used, the importance of the communicative function as an element of interaction of economic entities is growing.
The article is devoted to the theoretical and practical study of the principles of accounting regulation.
The processes of accounting reform have had a significant impact on changing the rules of accounting. But at the moment, there are still significant problems in the organization of accounting, preventing the formation of complete, real, objective, reliable reliable information. This conclusion is confirmed by the presence of many publications of modern scientists devoted to the analysis of various issues related to the regulatory regulation of accounting activities, the application of new rules for asset valuation, and the convergence of accounting rules with international financial reporting standards is gradually taking place.

En ocasiones resulta difícil creer que empresas sin mucha experiencia puedan, al corto plazo, competir con otras que ya tienen un posicionamiento en el mercado por varios años. En este caso, analizaremos a Cementex, una alternativa nueva en el mercado. Cementex incursiona en el mercado ecuatoriano con la producción de óxido de zinc. En la ciudad de Cuenca, fue proveedor principalmente de una empresa de cauchos y tras realizar alianzas con socios internacionales, en el año 1995 el producto fue certificado para su exportación.
De “migrancy” a migrancia: aproximaciones fenomenológicas al proceso social de la experiencia de la migración del campo migratorio México-Estados Unidos
Authors: De Almeida Arao-Galhardi Renato
Published: February 2024

Este artículo trabaja la experiencia de la migración bajo el concepto de migrancia, posibilitando, así, articular la compleja y difusa categoría de “la experiencia” en los análisis migratorios. Sin un concepto viable en español para referenciar explícitamente el repertorio experiencial de la migración, propongo una nueva interpretación del concepto inglés de “migrancy”, a través de una deconstrucción reflexiva conceptual, revisitada como “migrancia”. Para llegar a esto, discuto grandes argumentos fenomenológicos y las implicaciones de pensar y trabajar desde “la experiencia” en contextos migratorios para así resaltar el papel formativo que tiene las experiencias en los procesos migratorios. Para esto, resalto la importancia de “desmigrantizar” el análisis migratorio y su importancia de articular la experiencia desde una “tercera vía”, es decir, heterofenomenológicamente. En seguida, abordo la importancia de “pensar a través del cuerpo”, desde apuntes epistémico y metodológicos feministas, para así corporeizar el análisis migratorio y así revisitar el concreto de “migrancy” para entonces introducir “migrancia”, como un concepto que abarca la fenomenología, corporeizada, de las experiencias migratorias. Tomando como referencia el campo de la migración México-Estados Unidos, enmarco “migrancia” desde una perspectiva fenomenológica feminista que permite no solamente devolver la agencia a los cuerpos migrantes, sino llevar la fenomenología al análisis migratorio. Por último, argumento que trabajar “migrancia” es fundamental para entender fenómenos migratorios y promete hacer una contribución valiosa al análisis y formas de describir y narrar procesos migratorios.
La exclusión política y social de los migrantes haitianos en República Dominicana: acercamiento al racismo multidimensional
Authors: Maresca Alberto
Published: February 2024

Este trabajo analiza la presencia de un racismo multidimensional, de carácter social y político, padecido porlos migrantes haitianos en República Dominicana. La experiencia directa del autor en República Dominicanamotiva la búsqueda de un análisis empírico y teórico que pueda interrogarse sobre una posible correlaciónentre el nacionalismo en la política dominicana y el apoyo popular hacia la exclusión de los migranteshaitianos en el sistema nacional dominicano. A través de una inicial revisión de la literatura de referenciadel campo sociológico y migratorio, se define el concepto de Homo Sacer expuesto por Agamben. El aporteteórico de Agamben es útil para identificar la voluntad estatal de excluir a los migrantes haitianos. Además,se tomará el concepto de pensamiento de Estado identificado por Sayad, mientras que el foco histórico en lacuestión identitaria dominicana cuenta con aportes procedentes de las obras de Rappaport. La marginalizacióny exclusión de los migrantes haitianos se estudia también cuestionando la ausencia de datos y registrosactualizados por el Gobierno dominicano, queriendo proponer eventuales correlaciones entre la ilegalizaciónestatal de los migrantes haitianos, con el aval de la política dominicana, y una forma social de nacionalismoracial. Utilizando también un enfoque propio de las Relaciones Internacionales y la Ciencia Política, sedescribe cómo el actual gobierno de República Dominicana, encabezado por el presidente Luis Abinader,muestra una tendencia hacia pasados elementos de realismo político y nacionalismo en las relaciones bilateralescon Haití, donde, cabe incluir, encuentra un efectivo consenso por parte de la sociedad dominicana

El presente trabajo de investigación analiza las estrategias de discurso y framing utilizadas por los mediosde comunicación peruanos en la segunda vuelta de la campaña electoral nacional. Para tal efecto,se utilizó una metodología de análisis cuantitativo, a través de la construcción de una base de datoscon todas las noticias sobre la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales de 2021 aparecidas enlos principales medios de comunicación de alcance nacional difundidas en Twitter (actualmente X),teniendo como principal hallazgo que aun cuando la cobertura de la segunda vuelta electoral puede serconsiderada en su mayoría como neutral, existió un tratamiento informativo diferenciado en torno alas candidaturas de Castillo y Fujimori, privilegiándose un encuadre negativo y conflictivo del primerosobre su contendora. El contexto relatado refleja que la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidencialesse desarrolló bajo un clima de polarización política como consecuencia de la generación de discursos ynarrativas que ha generado amplios márgenes de desconfianza y una lógica de “amigo-enemigo” que hatenido consecuencias en la política peruana actual.

Concerns over the negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human life have entered a new phase where many hypothetical views are fast becoming realities. Presently, the rampaging effect of climate change is, in theory, causing ecological catastrophes, and it is being felt at an alarming scale worldwide. As an important ecological niche, the soil ecosystem hosts a diversity of microbiomes and macrobiomes and affords a soil-plant-microbes ecological continuum. Also, it supports essential ecological processes meant to promote life-sustaining habits. However, changes in plant diversity due to increasing greenhouse effects, anthropogenic activities, and global warming have severely impacted the stability of soil microbial communities and interactions, particularly the soil-plant-microbe interaction. A good understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the plant-soil-microbial interactions, the complexity of the soil microbiome, ecosystem adaptability to climate change-induced stresses, and niche functionality of microbiota is necessary for the empirical impact assessment of climate change on soil microbial behaviors. Moreover, the soil system parameters and the various ecological services affected need to be further studied to identify opportunities that could assist the quest to mitigate the debilitating effects of climatic change in the soil ecosystem and sustainable food security initiatives.
(De)Legitimation in Policy Transfer and Branding: A Dialogical View of the Romanian Covid-19 Vaccination Policy
Authors: Cmeciu Camelia , Anton Anca , Glăvan Eugen
Published: February 2024

With the growth of marketing’s influence extending from the commercial domain into governance strategy, public health branding and promotional communication relating to the Covid-19 vaccine were essential for national authorities trying to transfer the WHO communication strategy and vaccine policies to their domestic contexts while maintaining public trust. This study explores the role of (de)legitimation in the Covid-19 vaccine communication (#ROVaccinare/ROVaccination) policy transfer and branding conducted by the Romanian government on Facebook. Adopting a top-down and bottom-up approach to the meaning-making process of the message strategy promotion, we employed a mixed-methods approach. We drew on categorizations of message tailoring related to health communication and operationalizations of discursive (de)legitimation. The main findings showed a preference for rationalization legitimation through the usage of fact-based posts and a clear integration of authorization and narrativization into the message strategy promotion of the ROVaccination page. However, despite the prevalence of fact-based posts, legitimation through personal and medical stories was a positive predictor of engagement, unlike legitimation through facts. The bottom-up approach revealed polarized attitudes towards healthcare professionals as sources of the campaign, the Romanian medical system, and past and present vaccination. The dominance of polarization in online users’ comments emphasizes their role as agents of conversion, contesting either the message sources employed in the campaign or other commenters as personal authorities.
