Published: May 2023

This paper explores the factors associated with the success of impact evaluations, drawing on the experience of two major funders of impact evaluations: the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie). We first define successful evaluations along three dimensions: reliability, relevance, and policy influence. Based on a review of the literature we build a conceptual framework including the main factors associated with success at the stages of design, implementation, and analysis of results. We review selected impact evaluations recently funded by 3ie and DFID, we identify successful ones and we discuss characteristics associated with success. We find that careful planning, research team skills and composition, and sample size of the study are key elements of success. We also discuss unsuccessful cases of impact evaluations and suggest some guidance with regards to discontinuing studies facing implementation problems. We conclude with some reflections to help researchers and funders concentrate resources and efforts where they are most needed for the success of impact evaluations

Published: May 2023

The lack of adequate measures to capture relevant factors, and the prevalence of measurement error in existing ones, often constitute the main impediment to robust policy evaluation. Random assignment of a given treatment, when feasible, may allow for the identification of causal effects, given that the necessary measurements are available. Measurement challenges include: (a) adequately measuring outcomes of interest; (b) measuring factors that relate to the mechanisms of estimated impacts; and (c) conducting a robust evaluation in areas where the RCT methodology is not feasible. In this paper, we discuss three categories of related approaches to innovation in the use of data and measurements relevant for evaluation: the creation of new measures, the use of multiple measures, and the use of machine learning algorithms. We motivate the relevance of each of the categories by providing a series of detailed examples of cases where each approach has proved useful in impact evaluations. We discuss the challenges and risks involved in each strategy and conclude with an outline of promising directions for future work.
A influência dos principais determinantes e da governança sobre o desmatamento na Amazônia Legal brasileira: uma abordagem por painel (2003- 2020)

Published: May 2023

Nos últimos tempos aconteceram mudanças significativas na Amazônia que ocasionaram às perdas de grade extensão das áreas de florestas remanescentes. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa objetivou avaliar a influência dos principais fatores determinantes e gestões governamentais no combate ao desmatamento dos municípios da Amazônia Legal no período de 2003 a 2020. Para tanto, estimou-se o modelo de painel balanceado - Efeito Aleatório (EA). Os principais resultados indicaram que parcela majoritária dos municípios apresentaram até 10% de suas áreas desmatadas. Concernente aos resultados empíricos, constatou-se que a expansão da economia, da área de lavoura, da pecuária bovina e da população são fatores significantes para explicar o aumento do desmatamento. Verificou-se também que os municípios do estado do Pará apresentaram desmatamento maior que todas as sedes municipais dos estados amazônicos, com exceção do estado de Rondônia. Ademais, notou-se que foi na gestão do presidente Bolsonaro que aconteceram as maiores elevações no desflorestamento.

O objetivo foi avaliar o perfil sociodemográfico, clínico e nutricional de pacientes com quadro de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) admitidos em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI), no município de Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia. Foram coletados dados sócio demográficos, de hábitos de vida, saúde, parâmetros antropométricos e informações bioquímicas, nas primeiras 72 horas de admissão de pacientes com IAM na UTI. Dados foram tabulados e expressos como média ± desvio padrão da média. Foram avaliados 21 cardiopatas, sendo 11 homens e 10 mulheres, média de idade de 53,45 ± 11,94 e 64,10 ± 11,41 anos, respectivamente. Maioria era da raça/cor parda/preta (n=13), procedentes da zona urbana (n=12), profissionalmente ativos (n=13), com ensino fundamental incompleto (n=14) e com renda menor que 1 salário mínimo (n=13). Maioria negou tabagismo (n=7) e etilismo (n=15), porém eram sedentários (n=12), com hipertensão arterial (n=18). A circunferência do braço apresentou classificação média (n=11) e o índice de massa corporal foi classificado como sobrepeso e obesidade para a maioria (n=9) dos avaliados. Risco de mortalidade foi de 52,54 ± 20,17 % e de 54,90 ± 20,57 %, entre os homens e as mulheres, respectivamente. O IAM acometeu indivíduos homens adultos e mulheres com média de idade acima dos 60 anos, negros, com baixa renda e escolaridade, hipertensos, sedentários e com IMC acima do recomendado. O estudo possibilita o desenvolvimento de ações de promoção e prevenção de saúde cardiovascular da população negra, para abreviar o risco de morbidade hospitalar após a admissão na UTI.

Published: May 2023

A agitação é um subtipo de delírio caracterizada por excesso de comportamentos, incluindo agressão e instabilidade emocional. Por isso, medidas de contenção do paciente são necessárias, preferencialmente a contenção farmacológica. Benzodiazepínicos e haloperidol são os fármacos mais comumente utilizados nesse intuito. Entretanto, desde 2011 a cetamina também passou a ser utilizada nos EUA, demonstrando efeito sedativo eficaz e bom perfil de segurança. O objetivo do estudo foi sintetizar e analisar os mais recentes trabalhos clínicos publicados que comparam a utilização da cetamina e do haloperidol para controle da agitação aguda. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Foram buscados artigos em português, inglês e espanhol, publicados nos últimos dez anos, indexados nas bases de dados Google Scholar, Pubmed e Scielo. Foram identificados 193 artigos na base de dados Google Scholar, 30 artigos na Pubmed e nenhum na Scielo. Por fim, sete artigos foram selecionados como objeto de estudo desta revisão. A análise dos artigos mostra que a cetamina parece apresentar um tempo de ação relativamente menor que o haloperidol, possui efeitos sedativos mais curtos e menor necessidade de dose extra. Isso evidencia um possível benefício no seu uso pré-hospitalar ou em departamentos de emergência, já que em tais ambientes a sedação precisa ser rigidamente rápida e segura. Efeitos colaterais também foram mais frequentes no grupo cetamina, porém resolveram-se espontaneamente ou com pequenas intervenções.

The modern step in development of restorative medicine for patients with cer-ebral infarction (CI) is associated with phenotype-oriented medical rehabilitation based on a biomechanical analysis of specific motor impairments that reflect the nature of motor adaptations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of adaptive kinematics (ADK) and the clinical picture of CI under the influence of adaptive kinesitherapy (AK). The object of the study were healthy volunteers (n = 92) and a cohort of CI patients treated according to the complex therapy program (groups "P" (n = 50) and "O" (n = 57)) and AK (group "O") The subject of the study was a comprehensive assessment of the data obtained from clinical testing and biomechanical data in comparison with normal values. As a result of the study, it was found that AK significantly (p < 0.022) improves ADK in pa-tients with various pathobiomechanical phenotypes (PBP) of CI. Similarly, AK has a positive effect on the dynamics of the level of daily activity (p < 0.006), mobility level (p < 0.001), gait stereotype function (p < 0.001), and fatigue level (p < 0.001), increasing the overall effectiveness of the complex therapy program (p < 0.003) with an odds ratio of 4.03 (95 % CI 1.44–11.24): 5.1 (95 % CI 1.17–22.51) in patients with PBP 1 (p < 0 .02); 8.1 (95 % CI 1.15–55.61) in patients with PBP 2 (p < 0.02), and 7.71 (95 % CI 1.76–33.72) in patients with PBP 3 (p < 0.003), with excellent diagnostic quality (AUC = 0.92).

Abstract. In this study, a state-of-the-art microphysical model using a
Lagrangian-particle-based direct numerical simulation framework is presented
to examine the growth of ice particles in turbulent mixed-phase clouds. By
tracking the interactions between individual ice, droplets, and turbulence
at the native scales, the model offers new insights into the microphysical
processes taking place in mixed-phase clouds at sub-meter-length scales. This paper examines the conditions that favor effective ice growth in the
cloud-top generating cells (GCs), which are small regions of enhanced radar
reflectivity near cloud tops. GCs are commonly observed in many types of
mixed-phase clouds and play a critical role in producing precipitation from
rain or snow. Investigations over a range of environmental (macrophysical
and turbulent) and microphysical conditions (ice number concentrations) that
distinguish GCs from their surrounding cloudy air were conducted. Results show that high liquid water content (LWC) or high relative humidity
(RH) is critical for effective ice growth and the maintenance of mixed-phase
conditions. As a result, GCs with high LWC and high RH provide favorable
conditions for rapid ice growth. When the ice number concentration is below
1 cm−3, which is typical in mixed-phase clouds, a high LWC is needed
for the formation of large ice particles. The study also found that
supersaturation fluctuations induced by small-scale turbulent mixing have a
negligible effect on the mean particle radius, but they can substantially
broaden the size spectra, affecting the subsequent collection process.
Increased Importance of Aerosol-Cloud Interaction for Surface PM2.5 Pollution Relative to Aerosol-Radiation Interaction in China With the Anthropogenic Emission Reduction

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Surface fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution can be enhanced by feedback processes induced by aerosol-radiation interactions (ARI) and aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI). Many previous studies have reported enhanced PM2.5 concentration induced by ARI and ACI for episodic events in China. However, few studies have examined the changes in the ARI- and ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancements over a long period, though the anthropogenic emissions have changed substantially in the last decade. In this study, we quantify the ARI- and ACI-induced PM2.5 changes for 2013–2021 under different meteorology and emission scenarios using the Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) and investigate the driving factors for the changes. Our results show that in January 2013, when China suffered from the worst PM2.5 pollution, the PM2.5 enhancement induced by ARI in eastern China (5.59 μg m−3) is larger than that induced by ACI (3.96 μg m−3). However, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement shows a significantly smaller decrease ratio (51 %) than the ARI-induced enhancement (75 %) for 2013–2021, making ACI more important for enhancing PM2.5 concentrations in January 2021. Our analyses suggest that the anthropogenic emission reduction plays a key role in this shift. Owing to only anthropogenic emission reduction, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement decreases by 43 % in January and 57 % in July, lower than the decrease ratio of the ARI-induced enhancement (57 % in January and 67 % in July). The primary reason for this phenomenon is that the decrease of ambient PM2.5 for 2013–2021 causes a disproportionately small decrease of liquid water path (LWP) and increase of cloud effective radius (Re) under the condition of high PM2.5 concentration, therefore the surface solar radiation attenuation (and hence boundary layer height reduction) caused by ACI decreases slower than that caused by ARI. Moreover, the lower decrease ratio of the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement is dominated by the lower decrease ratio of ACI-induced secondary PM2.5 component enhancement, which is additionally caused by smaller decrease ratio of the air temperature reduction and relative humidity (RH) increase. Our findings reveal that with the decrease of ambient PM2.5, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement inevitably becomes more important, which needs to be considered in the formulation of control policies to meet the national PM2.5 air quality standard.
The global correlation between internal-tide generation and the depth-distribution of cold-water corals

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Internal tides are known to be an important source of mixing in the oceans, especially in the bottom boundary layer. The depth of internal-tide generation therefore seems important for benthic life and the formation of cold-water coral mounds, but internal-tidal conversion is generally investigated in a depth-integrated sense. Using both idealized and realistic simulations on continental slopes, we found that the depth of internal-tide generation increases with increasing slope steepness and decreases with intensified shallow stratification. The depth of internal-tide generation also shows a typical latitudinal dependency. Using a global database of cold-water corals, we found that the depth-pattern of internal-tide generation is remarkably similar to the depth-pattern of cold-water corals globally: shallowest near the poles and deepest around the equator with a shoaling around 25 degrees South and North and shallower north of the equator than south of the equator. We further found that cold-water corals are, more than what would be expected by chance, associated to the (super)critical reflection of internal tides (i.e., situated on topography that is steeper than the internal tidal beam) and to trapped internal tides (i.e., above the critical latitude of 70 degrees for semidiurnal tides and 30 degrees for diurnal tides). The (super)critical reflection of internal tides and trapped internal tides therefore provide an interesting new angle of food supply mechanisms that has not yet been considered in cold-water coral studies. With climate change, stratification is expected to increase. Based on our results, this would cause a shoaling of internal-tide generation, possibly creating new shallower suitable habitat for cold-water corals on continental slopes.
Short-term Prediction of the Significant Wave Height and Average Wave Period based on VMD-TCN-LSTM Algorithm

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The present work proposes a prediction model of significant wave height (SWH) and average wave period (APD) based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), temporal convolutional networks (TCN), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. The wave sequence features were obtained using VMD technology based on the wave data from the National Data Buoy Center. Then the SWH and APD prediction models were established using TCN, LSTM, and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization. The VMD-TCN-LSTM model was compared with the VMD-LSTM (without TCN cells) and LSTM (without VMD and TCN cells) models. The VMD-TCN-LSTM model has significant superiority and shows robustness and generality in different buoy prediction experiments. In the 3-hour wave forecasts, VMD primarily improved the model performance, while the TCN had less influence. In the 12-, 24-, and 48-hour wave forecasts, both VMD and TCN improved the model performance. The contribution of the TCN to the improvement of the prediction result determination coefficient gradually increased as the forecasting length increased. In the 48-hour SWH forecasts, the VMD and TCN improved the determination coefficient by 132.5 % and 36.8 %, respectively. In the 48-hour APD forecasts, the VMD and TCN improved the determination coefficient by 119.7 % and 40.9 %, respectively.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Introduction: aspiration of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is
commonly performed to assist in the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection
(PJI). This study aimed to determine whether fluoroscopic- or ultrasound-
guided hip aspiration differs in the ability to acquire synovial fluid and
in the accuracy of diagnosing infection.
Methods: all THA aspirations performed between 2014 and 2021 at
our institution were retrospectively identified. Aspirations were classified
as successful or dry. If successful, the volume of fluid obtained was
recorded. The sensitivity and specificity of hip aspiration in identifying
PJI were calculated with four methods: (1) culture results excluding saline lavage, (2) culture results including saline lavage, (3) 2018 Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria, and (4) 2021 European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) criteria. Analyses were performed using
Student's t test or Wilcoxon rank sum for continuous variables and
chi-squared or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables.
Results: 290 aspirations were included (155 fluoroscopic-guided and
135 ultrasound-guided). Success of aspiration (>0.5 mL) was more
common in the ultrasound cohort (69 %) than fluoroscopy (53 %)
(p<0.0055). When successful, more volume was obtained in the
ultrasound cohort (mean 13.1 mL vs. 10.0 mL; p=0.0002).
Ultrasound-guided aspiration was more sensitive than fluoroscopy in
diagnosing PJI using culture results excluding saline lavage (85 % vs.
73 %; p=0.03), culture results including saline lavage (85 % vs.
69 %; p=0.001), 2018 MSIS-ICM criteria (77 % vs. 52 %; p=0.02), and
2021 EBJIS criteria (87 % vs. 65 %; p=0.02). Ultrasound-guided
aspiration was more specific than fluoroscopy in diagnosing PJI using 2021
EBJIS criteria (100 % vs. 96 %; p=0.001).
Conclusions: ultrasound-guided aspiration is more frequently
successful and yields more fluid than fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of THA.
Ultrasound-guided aspiration is more sensitive in diagnosing PJI than
fluoroscopy using culture data, 2018 MSIS-ICM criteria, and 2021 EBJIS
criteria.
Towards a holistic understanding of blocked regime dynamics through a combination of complementary diagnostic perspectives

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Atmospheric blocking describes a situation in which a stationary and persistent anticyclone blocks the eastward propagation of weather systems in
the midlatitudes and can lead to extreme weather events. In the North Atlantic–European region, blocking contributes to life cycles of weather
regimes which are recurrent, quasi-stationary, and persistent patterns of the large-scale circulation. Despite progress in blocking theory over the
last decades, we are still lacking a comprehensive, process-based conceptual understanding of blocking dynamics. Here we combine three different
perspectives on so-called “blocked” weather regimes, namely the commonly used Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives, complemented by a novel
quasi-Lagrangian perspective. Within the established framework of midlatitude potential vorticity (PV) thinking, the joint consideration of the
three perspectives enables a comprehensive picture of the dynamics and quantifies the importance of dry and moist processes during a blocked weather
regime life cycle. We apply the diagnostic framework to a European blocking weather regime life cycle in March 2016, which was associated with a severe forecast bust
in the North Atlantic–European region. The three perspectives highlight the importance of moist processes during the onset or maintenance of the
blocked weather regime. The Eulerian perspective, which identifies the processes contributing to the onset and decay of the regime, indicates that
dry quasi-barotropic wave dynamics and especially the eastward advection of PV anomalies (PVAs) into the North Atlantic–European region dominate the
onset of the regime pattern. By tracking the negative upper-tropospheric PVA associated with the “block”, the quasi-Lagrangian view reveals, for
the same period, abrupt amplification due to moist processes. This is in good agreement with the Lagrangian perspective indicating that a large
fraction of air parcels that end up in the negative PVA experience diabatic heating. Overall, the study shows that important contributions to the
development take place outside of the region in which the blocked weather regime eventually establishes, and that a joint consideration of different
perspectives is important in order not to miss processes, in particular moist-baroclinic dynamics, contributing to a blocked regime life cycle.

Social media has become one of the causes of the rise in mental health problems of young adults in recent years. Quarter-Life Crisis is one of the mental health phenomena that become their problem. Lack of awareness about stress management is a problem for sufferers. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative research, the technique used in data collection based on interviewing experts in the field of psychology is the most relevant method to get maximum results for research in the field of mental health. Based on the results of the author's research, it was found that sufferers have two main problems in the career and romance aspects. Lack of information, the media, and someone who becomes a "homebase" or the place of emotional release to manage stress becomes a problem for them. Therefore, the writer looks for alternative solutions to this problem by designing an interactive book that aims to be one of the mediums of emotional release for sufferers. With this interactive book, it is hoped that sufferers can relieve the stress that is the impact of this Quarter-Life Crisis by venting their emotions in this interactive book.
O debate acerca do controle de constitucionalidade incidental nos tribunais de contas: uma análise crítica dos argumentos do Mandado de Segurança 35.410 para a defesa da integridade do direito

Published: May 2023

The incidental constitutional review in the Courts of Counts is debated based on an analysis of arguments present in Writ of Mandamus nº 35410, being heard in the Supreme Court. The question to answer is the following: are brazilian courts of counts constrained by the understandings of the Supreme Court when exercising incidental constitutional review or those ones Courts would not even enjoy the prerogative to exercise that control, based on the critical analysis of the arguments raised in the votes of Writ of Mandamus nº 35.410? The hypothesis raised is that there is a restrictive view, reflected in the arguments extracted from the votes of said Writ of Mandamus, regarding the meaning of constitutionality control as well as its applicable jurisdiction, although incidental, of the exercise of this control by the Courts of Counts. To confirm the hypothesis, we present the selected case and then we propose an analysis of the argumentative framework contained therein. In conclusion, in addition to refuting the arguments contained in the Writ of Mandamus, it is worth noting that the Supreme Court eventually denied the request made by the Courts of Counts to share the constitutional paradigm. The method used was hypothetical deductive, with a case study, starting from Ronald Dworkin’s concept of Law as Integrity.

Cisplatin is one of the most potent cytotoxic drugs used to treat cancer, but clinical use is linked to testicular and liver damage. According to a number of studies, antioxidant supplementation may have an impact on the toxicity caused by cisplatin. The purpose of the current investigation was to determine how vitamin-E supplementation protected rats from cisplatin-induced damage. Thirty laboratory adult male albino rats were divided into three groups: Group I received saline orally, once daily for 21 days. Group II received cisplatin on day 0, 7, 14 and were sacrificed on day 21. Group III received cisplatin on day 0, 7, 14 and received orally vitamin E daily, starting 5 days before the first dose of cisplatin until day 21. Liver and both testes were obtained and fixed. Sections from the liver and both testes were stained by H&E and Trichrome stain, and then examined under light microscope. Alterations included a significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the cisplatin group compared with the other groups (p value for comparing between control and each other group, statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05). Histopathologically, cisplatin induced signs of hepatic injury; it also showed signs of testicular degeneration in all rats. However, the cisplatin induced disturbances significantly improved by treatment with Vitamin E. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference among the three groups in all signs of injury (p<0.001). According to this research, cisplatin has a toxic impact on the liver and testicles, and when it is administered along with vitamin E, a noticeable improvement is seen.

Published: May 2023

This study aims at finding the types of word-formation processes in online advertisements and analyzing how those types are used. The data source was obtained from the official shampoo advertising websites and YouTube during 2020. It used a descriptive qualitative method by applying the theory of word ordering proposed by several linguistic experts namely O'Grady and Guzman (1996), and Hatch and Brown (1995). From the analysis conducted, the researcher found 9 out of 12 existing word ordering processes including compounding, borrowing, initialization, clipping, back-formation, inflection, derivation, and clitization. Among all, the words found within the scope are words formed through the process of compounding, derivation, and borrowing. However, the words formed through the process of coinage, acronyms, and onomatopoeia were not found. In addition, the results of the analysis also showed that the words used in the advertisements are catchy and serve to explain the description and the function of the products.

In the production of fermented meat products, microorganisms of various taxonomic groups play an extremely important role, namely in the formation of specific taste, aroma, colour, and consistency. Both fermentative and spontaneous microflora take part in the components' transformation of meat raw materials during the maturation of such products, and the course of this process depends on the metabolic activity of the strains. In accordance, this article's purpose is to select microbiota compositions (lactic acid bacteria and coagulase-negative cocci) for the fermentation of meat raw materials. So, as a result of the research, 4 compositions were selected, two of which are lactic acid bacteria with micrococci (No. 2, 3) and two lactic acid bacteria with staphylococci (No. 1, 6).  They were characterized by the high productivity of each of the components of the leavening composition, in particular, it was established that the number of MKB increased – by 4.3-6.5 times, and micrococci and staphylococci – by 7.7-28.6 times, respectively. For these compositions, mutual stimulation of the components was observed, contributing to the active microorganisms' development and their biochemical activity. Fermentation compositions No. 1, 6, 4, and 6 had the highest nitrite-reducing activity, and a high level of proteolysis characterized compositions No. 1, 2, 3, and 4.  According to the results of determining the antagonistic activity against opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, it was established that the investigated compositions exhibit antagonistic activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms.

The research instrument uses a questionnaire constructed by researchers based on variable indicators. Data analysis using multiple linear regression was carried out with software applications on computer devices. The results showed that financial capital, labor, and social capital had an independent effect on the income of MSME actors, with figures of 0.394, 0.792, and 0.234. Financial capital, labor, and social capital have also proven to have a joint effect in increasing the income of culinary MSMEs in Jagakarsa.The conclusion that can be conveyed is that MSMEs need stimulus from various parties, especially from the government and stakeholders to develop. Stimulus can be in the form of policies, capital, and training for human resources to behave hygienically because the food industry is related to health problems.

Is Autism a Mental Disorder According to the Harmful Dysfunction View?
Authors: Bošnjak Mladen
Published: May 2023

The supporters of the neurodiversity movement contend that autism is not a mental disorder, but rather a natural human variation. In a recent paper Jerome Wakefi eld, David Wasserman and Jordan Conrad (2020) argued against this view relying on Wakefi eld’s harmful dysfunction theory of mental disorder (the HD theory). Although I argue that the HD theory is problematic, I contend that arguments offered by Wakefi eld et al. (2020) against those of the neurodiversity movement are plausible, except in one respect: their claim that high functioning autism in general is not a disorder is not well supported. I argue instead that the disorder status of high-functioning autistic persons should be judged on a case-by-case basis, depending on the harmfulness of the condition. In this regard, I maintain that the list of basic psychological capacities provided by George Graham (2010) provides an adequate conceptualization of harm. Moreover, I show how this framework may offer an appropriate tool for a case-by-case assessment of harm associated with high-functioning autism.

Published: May 2023

A maior rentabilidade e sustentabilidade dos sistemas de produção de arroz irrigado podem ser obtidas associando diversas tecnologias e práticas de manejo, dentre as quais se destaca a época de semeadura. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes épocas de semeadura sobre o desempenho agronômico de cultivares de arroz irrigado recomendadas para o Estado de Santa Catarina. O experimento foi conduzido no município de Rio dos Cedros durante duas safras agrícolas. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso, dispostos em parcelas subdivididas. Foram testadas quatro épocas de semeadura na parcela principal: 10/09, 25/09, 10/10 e 25/10. Nas sub-parcelas foram avaliadas cinco cultivares de arroz irrigado: Epagri 109, SCS BRS Tio Taka, SCS 116 Satoru, SCS 121 CL e SCS 122 Miura. Foram realizadas determinações referentes ao desempenho agronômico das cultivares. Os resultados obtidos nas duas safras avaliadas demonstraram que as cultivares apresentam comportamento diferenciado de acordo com a época de semeadura, o que pode ser relacionado com as condições climáticas ocorridas durante o desenvolvimento das plantas.

O mapa conceitual, instrumento criado por Novak, pode ser utilizado na obtenção de informações valiosas a respeito da construção do conhecimento conceitual. Este trabalho foi realizado com alunos do segundo ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo, localizada na região metropolitana da cidade de Sorocaba/SP, e esteve inserido no contexto de manutenção das atividades escolares em tempos de pandemia. Foi divido em dois momentos, sendo o primeiro, uma oficina para que os alunos pudessem aprender a utilizar os mapas conceituais realizada de forma remota, e o segundo, a aplicação de um conjunto de atividades utilizando os mapas conceituais em sala de aula. Os resultados demonstraram a pertinência da utilização desta ferramenta no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, visto que os mapas elaborados foram capazes de evidenciar a compreensão dos alunos a respeito do conteúdo estudado a partir das relações conceituais expressas neste organizador gráfico. Dentre os temas estudados pelos alunos da segunda série, os conceitos abordados no conteúdo de oxirredução foram aqueles que mais produziram mapas conceituais com relações imprecisas ou incorretas, resultado que evidencia a dificuldade dos alunos com esse tema. As informações possibilitadas pela análise dos mapas são valiosas aos professores em seu fazer docente, na medida em que permitem reelaborar sua prática, escolher melhores estratégias de ensino e momentos para uma intervenção pedagógica mais eficaz, assim como podem ser valiosas aos próprios alunos, no desenvolvimento das habilidades metacognitivas, para que se tornem agentes da construção dos seus próprios saberes.
