Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Ramírez Grajeda Mauricio , Millán  López Andrés  Jerson ,   Instituto  Tecnológico  y  de  Estudios  Superiores  de  Monterrey,
Published: January 2025

Objective: the aim of this paper is to assess whether economic performace at municipal level scatters across space and time within Mexican states.

Methodology: we follow a two-step econometric strategy. The first step is to instrument for both GDP and GDPgrowth rates at municipal level by following Henderson et al.(2012)’s methodology. The second step is to regress a dynamic spatial econometric model by following Elhorst (2010)’s model specification and estimation strategy.

Limitations: we consider 1) Distortions in luminosity data 2) Our results are based upon municipalities within state. We do not test spatial implications among municipalities that belong to different states.

Originality: we partially follow Millán López and González Olivares (2024) research line notwithstanding, we go fur-ther to analyze spatial interactions at municipal level.

Conclusions: our main findings are that economic perfor-mance of municipalities significantly depend upon their neighbor’s contemporaneous and lagged economic perfo-mance. Furthermore, this paper provides a specific estima-te to approximate both GDP and GDP growth rates wherethere is lack of statistical sources; for example, metropoli-tan or coastal areas.

Authors: Messaoudene Fatma , Boukraa Slimane , Chaouki-Boubidi Said , Guerzou Ahlem
Published: January 2025

Background: The wide distribution of phlebotomine vectors complicates the leishmaniasis situation in the world, with the risk of spreading from rural to urban areas. Our study investigates for the first time the ecology and distribution of sand fly populations in leishmaniasis focus (Djelfa, Algeria).
Methods: Sampling is performed using light traps from August 2021 to July 2022 at ten sites with different biotopes: two peri-urban stations (Ain Oussera and Hassi Bahbah), one urban station (Djelfa), and three rural stations (Ain El-Bel, Haniet Ouled Salem and Mlaga).
Results: A total of 2,866 specimens with 12 species belonging to Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia were identified with the first record of Phlebotomus langeroni female nationally, revealing a good diversity of up to 1.812 bits. The greatest richness of species was found in rural sites at Ain El Bel station, while the lowest richness was observed in the first peri-urban site of Ain Oussera station. Interestingly, the surveyed species were evenly distributed across all the study sites, in particular Phlebotomus papatasi with 57.29%. Statistical treatment revealed a strong positive relationship between temperature and species (p< 0.001, r= 0.91). Considering the other factors, there was a moderate link between species richness and altitude (p= 0.01 R2= 0.519). However, neither rainfall nor wind speed (p> 0.05) were correlated with sand fly fauna. Moreover, humidity showed a negative correlation (p< 0.001, r= -0.96).
Conclusion: The findings of this study on phlebotomine fauna in this endemic region for leishmaniasis provide valua­ble data to support the success of a vector control program.

Arte-vigilancia: más allá de Bentham
Authors: Chica Martínez María Gabriela
Published: January 2025

Es innegable que la vigilancia cumple un papel fundamental en la sociedad disciplinaria. Desde la aparición del modelo arquitectónico planteado por Bentham a finales del siglo XVIII, se observa cómo progresivamente este sistema penitenciario se ha desbordado hacia la sociedad por medio de la incorporación de herramientas tecnológicas de vigilancia que, bajo la promesa de orden y seguridad, han contribuido a la conformación de lo que ahora se conoce como panóptico digital. En él se han vuelto difusos los limites ente lo privado y lo público, puesto que el cuerpo es ahora un objeto de exposición y contemplación, un signo que activa una serie de referencias que lo cargan de valor en una sociedad de productores de mercancía; pero también es el medio que alberga la trasgresión. Este ensayo expone el caso de Hasan Elahi, y cómo convierte la auto-vigilancia en una expresión artística que le sirve de plataforma para demandar la devolución del cuerpo arrebatado, ilustrando y cuestionando las implicancias sociales del panóptico digital bajo sus propias reglas.Palabras clave: arte-vigilancia; panóptico; cuerpo
Corporalidad, corporeidad, corpósfera
Authors: Sanmartín Arévalo Diego Paúl
Published: January 2025

La noción de cuerpo se impone en las artes escénicas como un concepto obligado de estudio, quizá porque en este campo su tratamiento en una dimensión de presente, de real, de cuerpo sin más, implica la salida de la estética de la representación, lugar de una impronta muy compleja en el arte escénico. El cuerpo, la corporalidad, la corporeidad y la corpósfera, conforman un mapa conceptual que devela cómo el arte escénico está entendiendo el efecto de organicidad de sus producciones.

Dicotomías del objeto de la estética contemporánea
Authors: Marrero Fernández Marilys
Published: January 2025

En su trayectoria histórico-teórica, una de las tareas fundamentales de la Estética como ciencia ha sido precisar el contenido de sus categorías; su objeto de estudio situado en la categoría de lo bello, ha motivado diversas reflexiones estéticas en el desarrollo de la cultura occidental. A partir de esta relación peculiar entre el sujeto y el objeto, el tratamiento de “lo bello” ha estado marcado por posiciones que han oscilado entre el objetivismo y el subjetivismo, en la medida en que se haya privilegiado uno de los componentes de la anterior relación. Como categoría estética a partir de la Modernidad, la estética de la libertad, se manifiesta como una tendencia en el pensamiento de algunos autores, al asumir la libertad en sus relaciones con la necesidad, como responsabilidad, como posibilidad y como elección por parte del creador; es fundamental su efecto en el receptor, al considerar la Estética como totalidad y como “obra abierta”. Esta expresión de la estética de la libertad, no solo como necesidad del proceso creador por su esencia libre, incide en las transformaciones de la personalidad, especialmente en su contenido emancipatorio.
La Perspectiva desde otra perspectiva. Una insinuación oportuna sobre la recuperación del programa de técnicas de representación en la asignatura Dibujo
Authors: Rodríguez Aguilar Jorge Luis
Published: January 2025

La asignatura Perspectiva o Técnicas de Representación ha sido considerada históricamente un componente esencial de la enseñanza del arte y de la formación de los artistas. En la actualidad, donde los medios tecnológicos apuntan a una virtualización de las proyecciones espaciales, las representaciones tridimensionales asumen una preponderancia cada vez mayor en el campo de la idealización. Posiblemente, hoy más que nunca debe trabajarse en el desarrollo de un pensamiento visual que permita la representación de objetos y espacios tridimensionales en el plano bidimensional, ya sea real o virtual, así como el dominio de instrumentos propios de cualquier técnica o medio de representación, dígase gráfico o no. Por tanto, resulta imprescindible, por el momento histórico en que vivimos, la reincorporación de esta asignatura en el plan de estudio de la carrera de Artes Visuales, y de la disciplina Dibujo, en lo particular, en el sistema de Enseñanza Artística cubano.
Memoria y resistencia desde el lenguaje del cómic y la ciencia ficción
Authors: Amoroso Peralta Silvana Mireya
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este texto es realizar un análisis y, sobre todo, presentar las potencialidades de memoria social y resistencia de una obra inédita creada por los artistas ambateños Diego Lara Saltos y Roger Ycaza en el año 2000. Esta obra, en vistas de los eventos actuales que tienen repercusiones colectivas en Ecuador, como la conmoción social y política, los riesgos medioambientales y las voces de las minorías que luchan por ser escuchadas, respetadas e incluidas, adquiere una resonancia especial. La obra se compone de dos momentos distintos. En primer lugar, encontramos la monografía Cuna del Sol, titulada así para fines de este texto y con conocimiento de los artistas. En dicha monografía se llevó a cabo una investigación exhaustiva sobre mobiliario urbano, planificación urbana, personajes y el contexto ecológico, político y social, sentando las bases para la creación artística. El segundo momento surge como una derivación directa del primero y se materializa en el cómic titulado Gameranos. Cap. 7. El Rescate de Jeremías. Ambas producciones se enmarcan en el género de la ciencia ficción, concretamente dentro del movimiento conocido como New Weird.
El quehacer artístico: ¿es la docencia, una buena opción laboral para los artistas?
Authors: Arévalo Plasencia José Luis
Published: January 2025

El siguiente trabajo presenta una descripción analítica del quehacer artístico de quienes tienen formación en artes; ya sea en una educación formal, no formal e informal, sobre el campo laboral en donde se desempeñan, anotando que en la actualidad la mayoría de los artistas en el Ecuador se dedican a actividades ajenas a su profesión, debido a la escasa oferta laboral que existe en el campo artístico en el país, lo que obedece a una escasa divulgación de las prácticas artísticas por parte del Estado y sus representantes. Frente a esto, surge la docencia en Educación Cultural y Artística dentro de los colegios y/o escuelas como una clara posibilidad laboral que no desliga al artista del arte; más bien fortalece su práctica en conjunto con el fortalecimiento del arte en los estudiantes de educación básica y bachillerato, enfrentando al docente artista a los nuevos retos educativos en cuanto a la enseñanza y al rol que debe desempeñar el docente como mediador entre el arte y el estudiante.
Planeación didáctica utilizando la gestualidad como recurso para el acercamiento a las artes escénicas en estudiantes de Bachillerato
Authors: Pesántez Guaraca Emilia Rafaela
Published: January 2025

Dentro del área de Educación Cultural y Artística se señala que se trata de una asignatura diversa en la que se reúnen múltiples saberes y prácticas, aunque en la mayoría de los casos dichos saberes se limitan a dos: artes visuales y musicales, quedando así las artes escénicas relegadas a un segundo plano, a pesar de la importancia que se supone ocupan dentro del currículo. Todo esto se debe en gran parte a la falta de profesorado de ECA especializado en el área. Es por eso que esta propuesta trabaja a partir de la metodológica de gamificación educativa, conjuntamente con el uso de la gestualidad, para generar un acercamiento a las artes escénicas, y además busca visibilizar las prácticas escénicas en los y las adolescentes.
El uso de las artes escénicas para abordar y comunicar temas de física teórica: un estudio exploratorio
Authors: Stearns Sarah , Sáez-Rosenkranz Isidora
Published: January 2025

Este estudio exploratorio analiza las técnicas y los planteamientos que utilizan siete obras de teatro y danza estrenadas en Europa entre 2000 y 2020 para abordar temas de la física teórica y sus posibilidades comunicativas para un público adulto. A través del análisis documental de las obras, se determinan los temas de física teórica que abordan las dimensiones escénicas con las cuales se comunican y la recepción del público del contenido científico de las obras. Se encuentra que el contenido científico se tiende a comunicar a través de múltiples dimensiones escénicas y que la interacción activa entre el reparto y el público está relacionada con una recepción más positiva. Esta investigación exploratoria sugiere que las artes escénicas ofrecen la educación experiencial de ideas complicadas de física teórica. Para lograr esta educación interdisciplinaria, la participación de profesionales tanto de las artes como de la física en la creación de la obra es un factor clave.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents a containerized development platform suitable for developing and validating advanced microgrids (MGs). Through a collaborative effort involving the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) within the technical-scientific research project titled Minirrede Oasis-UFMG and the State and Federal government, the Tesla containerized MG emerges as a physical simulation tool on advanced MG projects in both islanded and grid-connected operating modes. Installed at the Tesla Laboratory located in the UFMG School of Engineering, Brazil, Tesla MG is composed of (i) eleven distributed energy resources (DERs), which supply around 33 kW; (ii) one single-phase gas-driven synchronous generator (SG), with a power rating of 11 kW; (iii) one 7.5 kW three-phase diesel-driven SG; and (iv) 30 kVA 4-quadrant programmable AC load and source. All these devices are commercially available off-the-shelf equipment. Photovoltaic modules and different battery technologies are installed outside and inside the container, respectively, with cabling extending to the container to connect these components to the inverters. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms for real-time simulations (i.e., Opal RT OP5700 and Typhoon HILs 402 and 604) are also available to support MG research. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the capabilities of the Tesla MG, specifically focusing on inverter features, power dispatchability in grid-connected mode, and proper operation in islanded mode.

Authors: Mat Nan Mohd Supian , Hassan Rusni
Published: January 2025

Shariah governance and Shariah compliance culture are fundamental to the operational integrity and ethical conduct of Islamic banks. While Shariah governance provides oversight mechanisms, Shariah compliance culture integrates Shariah principles and values into the organization’s ethos. This study examines past researches on Shariah governance and its effectiveness in fostering the Shariah compliance culture within Islamic banks. The qualitative methodology employed in this paper utilizes content analysis, with data being analysed descriptively. The literature review underscores the importance of Shariah governance, the significance of Shariah compliance culture and the factors influencing it. The findings suggest that Shariah governance has a major influence in nurturing the Shariah compliance culture in Islamic banks, with its effectiveness measurable through six (6) key aspects namely leadership practices, main Shariah organs, policies implementation, regular communication, proper reporting, and education and training program. Further research is needed to assess whether the current Shariah governance structure is adequate in promoting Shariah compliance culture as well as to identify optimal Shariah governance setups that could further enhance Shariah compliance culture and practices.

Authors: Salem Fayza M. , El-Galil K. Abd , Hassan Amal M. , El-Dayem A. A. Abd
Published: January 2025

The water-soluble vitamin B complex group, which includes folic acid, is crucial for several processes. Examining the effects of folic acid addition in broiler drinking water at a high dose on the growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, certain blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics is the goal of the current experiment. In this study, sixty Cobb 500 broiler chicks that were one day old and unsexed were employed. Two equal treatments were randomly assigned to the broiler chicks. Thirty chicks per treatment were split equally among five replicates. Ten milligrams of folic acid per liter of drinking water (T2) and control (T1) were the experimental treatments. Throughout the experimental period (1–35 days of age), the folic acid group significantly outperformed the control group in terms of body weight, body gain, and feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05), while feed intake was not significantly impacted. The folic acid (T2) treatment significantly reduced plasma total lipid, triglycerides (P < 0.05), urea, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT (P < 0.01)) in comparison to the control treatment. However, in contrast to the folic acid treatment (8.1%), the control treatment had the greatest mortality rate (10.81%). Folic acid was found to increase broiler growth rate and have no negative impact on the birds’ overall health when added to their drinking water.

Published: January 2025

Background: The growing interest in innovative uses for slaughter by-products from camels could generate added value from this multipurpose animal. Aim: This study investigates the extraction of gelatin from camel bones, discusses its potential as a novel protein source and assesses how its properties are affected by the duration of the pre-treatment and extraction processes. Methods: Four bone samples from 4-4.5-year-old male Sahraoui camels were utilized. The gelatin extraction process comprised demineralization with hydrochloric acid, followed by pre-treatment with sodium hydroxide for 24 or 48 hours and subsequent chemo-thermal extraction in acetic acid for 6 or 12 hours. Results: Physicochemical, microscopic and functional properties of the extracted gelatin were evaluated. Gelatin yields varied from 15.65% ± 0.15 to 21.85% ± 0.25. Variations were attributed to the combined duration of pre-treatment and chemo-thermal extraction. Extended processing times increased structural degradation. The elemental analysis revealed a stable carbon and oxygen content. The variable nitrogen levels revealed a positive correlation with extraction intensity. The gelatin pH values exhibited little variation, ranging from 4.66 to 4.91. The gelatin demonstrated interesting functional properties, including a high water holding capacity of 1080 ± 4.24%, a fat binding capacity of 880 ± 98.99%, and a Bloom value of 317.96 ± 8.51 g. These characteristics were predominantly influenced by the length of pre-treatment and extraction. Optimal results were obtained under moderate processing conditions. Conclusions: Camel bone gelatin has physicochemical and functional characteristics, including a high water holding capacity, a high fat binding capacity and a favorable Bloom value, which make it a valuable candidate for various industrial applications.

Authors:   Korean Comparative Education Society, WANG HUI , LEE SU BIN , Son Pan Yi
Published: January 2025

[Purpose] Incheon, Korea and Tianjin, China, have similar geographical environments and have been exchanging for a long time, sharing the commonality that they are cities developed through industrial development and establishment of commerce and industry. Nevertheless, there are no research results on vocational education and local education between the two cities, so this study aims to compare and analyze modern vocational education between Incheon and Tianjin.
[Methods] To achieve the purpose of this study, it was analyzed by referring to academic journals and historical sources related to coastal cities in Korea and China as a literature research method, and the initial development process and characteristics of the coastal urban vocational education system in Korea and China were examined.
[Results] The main findings are that, first, the period of historical and historical upheaval from 1876 to 1908 exceeded the time difference of about 148 years, which has considerable commonality with the current social and cultural changes in 2024. Second, the demand for new industries and technologies has increased due to various changes and their impact, and looking at the present as a historical point of view that accepts the process of change, the direction to move forward also has a clue.
[Conclusion] This study compared and analyzed the development process of early modern vocational education in Tianjin and Incheon to illuminate the early development process of vocational education in the two regions, and through this, its implications for the current development of vocational education were derived. In addition, the study is meaningful in that it can contribute to the prosperity of vocational education not only in Korea and China but al

Published: January 2025

[Purpose] This study aims to explore ways to improve South Korea's curriculum document format by comparing and analyzing the document formats of South Korea, Australia, and Singapore.
[Methods]For this purpose, the curriculum documents of social studies, science, mathematics, and music in Korea, Australia, and Singapore were selected as the subjects of comparison and analysis, and the organization of curriculum documents and the presentation of major components in each country were set as the analysis items.
[Results] First, The findings of the study are as follows. First, the organizational structure analysis showed that the curriculum documents in the three countries contained similar components, but differed in whether or not they set out subject competencies. Within the countries, the order of the curriculum’s broad areas was generally similar, but the order of the sub-components that make up the areas varied significantly across subjects. Next, we analyzed how the major components were presented, and found that unlike Korea, Singapore and Australia presented 'subject competencies' and 'connections to the general guidelines curriculum' very directly and specifically, and the organization and design principles of 'areas' varied by subject. In addition, the hierarchy, presentation, and terminology of 'core ideas' varied across subjects. Finally, in the case of 'content elements' and 'achievement standards', 'content elements' and 'achievement standards' tended to be presented in an integrated manner.
[Conclusion] Based on the study's results, it was suggested that to improve curriculum documents in South Korea, it is necessary to refine and diversify the general direction of the curriculum documents, reflect the actual reflection of competencies, develop a system that reflects the characteristics of each subject, and explore reader-friendly improvement methods.
The Role of Host Genetics Regulating Proteins in HIV-1 Susceptibility: Epidemiological and Demographic Insights on HIV-1 in Indonesia (2022)
Authors: Saefudin Siti Amalia Firdza , Handayani Niken Satuti Nur
Published: January 2025

Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a global public health concern, marking 52,995 cases in Indonesia alone, dominated with CRF01_AE strain which is classified as an X4 strain or a virus that uses CXCR4 co-receptor. This highlights the urgent needs  to develop therapies that utilize CXCR4 inhibitors to modulate HIV-1 infection and replication. The aims of this study were to assess the epidemiological and demographic insights on HIV-1 in Indonesia in 2022, and connecting it to the dominated strain to further assess various host genetics known to promote HIV-1 infection, focusing on the co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4. A systematic review was conducted, analyzing published studies and the 2022 HIV/AIDS report from the Ministry of Public Health of Indonesia. Additionally, the study evaluated the therapeutic potential of CXCR4 antagonists, including AMD3100, AMD070, BPRCX807, and MCo-CVX-5c, known for their anti-HIV-1 activity. Among the listed antagonists, AMD070 and MCo-CVX⎯5c are advancing among the others, leading to a potential most advanced combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). This research contributed to the development of personalized treatment strategies for HIV-1 by providing insights into the genetic factors influencing co-receptor regulation and HIV-1 susceptibility.
Mebendazole treatment in ascariasis re-infection of two-year-old boy in rural Ambon: a case report and literature review
Authors: Thiono Marischa Tita , Sutjonong Tioky , Polanunu Masayu Ramadhani , Husada Dominicus
Published: January 2025

Ascariasis is currently a health problem in developing countries, especially in rural areas. Successful control of ascariasis is highly dependent on therapeutic interventions, environmental, and individual hygiene practices. Ascariasis is generally asymptomatic but can cause severe problems if treated improperly. Treatment is available, but reinfection may occur. This case aims to emphasize the usage of mebendazole treatment in ascariasis reinfection. A two-year-old boy came to the hospital with mucus diarrhea and worms in the stool. Two months ago, he had the same symptoms and experienced improvement after taking pyrantel pamoate at the previous hospital. The patient was diagnosed with acute diarrhea with mild to moderate dehydration, re-infection ascariasis, and malnutrition. Mebendazole 100 mg was administered twice daily for 3 days. Treatment with mebendazole was repeated twice with an interval of one month after the previous therapy due to the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs in fecal examination. Fecal examination in the third month revealed the absence of Ascaris lumbricoides egg. Mebendazole can be used as therapy for ascariasis reinfections. However, repeated therapy is required in some cases. By integrating repeated therapy with comprehensive control measures, including health education and improved sanitation infrastructure, sustainable progress in combating ascariasis can be achieved.

Authors: Taufik Muhammad , Widiyaningsih Dwi , Muhammad Hidayat Noor  , Rizal Al Hamid  , Hasbi Ni’ami Sihab
Published: January 2025

Background: The religious atmosphere and various efforts to prevent smoking behavior in the Dieng Plateau have not raised awareness of smoking cessation, especially for elderly female smokers, even though the number of Acute Respiratory Tract infections and chronic respiratory disorders is increasing. To reduce smoking behavior, tiered counseling efforts and spiritual approaches can be used as alternative steps. Objectives: This research was to determine the reduction in smoking rates among elderly women in the Dieng Plateau after being given a spiritual approach as a non-pharmacological therapy. Methods: The type of research used was a quasi-experiment that provided pharmacological therapy (spiritual approach) to the control and intervention groups. Results: The research results showed that the smoking reduction rate was more significant after being given the spiritual approach intervention than the tiered counselling. The mean knowledge of the spiritual approach group was (95.37) and the tiered counselling group was (91.96) with a mean difference of 3.41. Therefore, health promotion using a spiritual approach is more effective in increasing the willingness of elderly women to control their smoking behavior compared to the multi-level counseling media. Conclusion: This study concludes that a spiritual approach is more effective than tiered counselling in reducing smoking rates among elderly female smokers in the Dieng Plateau. However, integrating both methods can better empower elderly women to control their smoking behavior and improve their overall health outcomes.

It is identified by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a priority objective for global health improvement. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors that contribute to stunting in children younger than 5 years. Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional design and a sample of 150 children under the age of 5 whose mothers were the respondents, was selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and anthropometric measurements. Results: The results showed that 28% of children were stunted, with 54.7% being male and 58% not exclusively breastfed. Approximately 60.7% and 57.3% had fathers with a history of smoking and mothers with high education, respectively. The mothers of 74% were unemployed, while 80.7% of the stunted children were from low-income families. Based on statistical analysis, stunting had a significant correlation with a history of exclusive breastfeeding were significantly correlated (p = 0.01) and educational attainment of mothers (p = 0.04). Conclusion: The prevalence of stunting remained high compared to the national norm. The incidence was correlated with the educational attainment of mothers and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding.

How Harmful is Smoking for Women? A Qualitative Study in Indonesia
Authors: Rosemary Rizanna , Masrizal
Published: January 2025

Introduction: In Indonesia, smoking is often perceived as a behavior associated with men, leaving women's perspectives on tobacco use largely unexplored. However, smoking has significant social, economic, health, and political implications for both genders. Despite the low reported smoking rates among women, their participation in tobacco control initiatives remains minimal. Female smokers face heightened social stigma compared to men, with stereotypes labeling them as socially unacceptable. This stigma often discourages quitting rather than deterring women from smoking in the first place, contributing to the underreporting of female smokers and making their numbers appear negligible. Objectives: This study aims to explore women’s experiences with smoking-related consequences in two locations, Banda Aceh and Jakarta. Findings indicate that both women who smoke and those whose partners are smokers encounter challenges in either starting or attempting to quit smoking. Additionally, beliefs about health and economic consequences serve as a common justification among smokers for not considering quitting. Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews seeks to explore the smoking-related experiences of women in two Indonesian cities, Jakarta and Banda Aceh. Results: The findings reveal that both female smokers and women with smoking partners face difficulties in initiating or maintaining cessation attempts. Additionally, perceptions of health and economic consequences often serve as justifications for avoiding efforts to quit smoking. Conclusion: The study found that socio-religious factors have a significant influence on women's experiences with smoking. Participants expressed beliefs about smoking tied to health and financial concerns, including the notion that outcomes like illness, death, and financial changes are predestined and beyond individual control (fatalism). This fatalistic perspective, shaped by their social and religious environment, hinders their efforts to quit smoking, making cessation more challenging.

Este artigo demonstra como os consórcios públicos são mecanismos eficazes do federalismo de cooperação, refletidos no expressivo número de municípios consorciados atualmente. Adotando levantamento bibliográfico e dados do Observatório dos Consórcios Municipais, o estudo analisa, inicialmente, o caráter centralizador da federação brasileira, consolidado pela Constituição de 1988. Em seguida, distingue a cooperação federativa verticalizada da horizontalizada. Por fim, aborda os consórcios públicos, explorando sua natureza jurídica e dados disponíveis, evidenciando que os consórcios de Direito Público são o principal instrumento de cooperação horizontal no sistema federativo brasileiro. Conclui-se que os consórcios públicos desempenham papel fundamental na gestão associada de políticas públicas, promovendo a cooperação entre entes federativos e fortalecendo a articulação institucional.
