The United Nations Charter
Authors: Schabas William A.
Published: July 2023

Because of the central role that racism played in Nazi ideology, many viewed the Second World War as a struggle against racial supremacists. The Atlantic Charter, proclaimed by Churchill and Roosevelt, seemed to promise a post-war world order with less discrimination and more autonomy of colonized peoples. There were efforts to include a condemnation of racial discrimination in the Charter of the United Nations. In several places the Charter recognizes a right to equality, including gender equality, but gives no special attention given to racism. Adoption of the Charter was closely followed by anti-racist activists, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was actually represented on the delegation of the United States at the San Francisco Conference.
Externalism About Knowledge
Authors: Oliveira Luis R. G.
Published: July 2023

In the sense that matters here, someone’s knowledge that p is or requires a particular kind of connection between their belief that p and the fact that p. Externalist approaches to understanding this connection are unified by the rejection of two central ideas: that knowledge is incompatible with reflective awareness of the possibility of error, and that knowledge is necessarily tied to the resources that are available from within the first-person perspective. Despite this common and distinguishing core, however, externalism is nonetheless a variegated family. This brief introduction surveys seven of its main expressions.
Introduction
Authors: Davies Owen
Published: July 2023

This Introduction provides context for the second half of the book, which explores why some patients in English and Scottish asylums believed what they did in relation to the times in which they lived. Whether seriously ill and deluded, or sane and lucid in their beliefs and imaginings, patients’ experiences were rooted in the mental worlds of wider society. The Introduction assesses the value of asylum records for exploring popular beliefs, particularly patient casebooks, and the challenges of their interpretation. The nature of life in the asylum is briefly depicted as well as the various staff who cared for the patients. Types of treatment, such as force feeding, the use of drugs, and recreation are considered.
From Macro to Micro and Back Again
Authors: Zenobi Luca
Published: July 2023

This chapter investigates the intersections between localized practices of territorial demarcation and the establishment of state borders. Drawing on constructivist and relational theories of space, the chapter locates the definition of local boundaries within the range of collective activities through which territories were created and identities forged. In addition, the chapter examines the interactions which transformed local boundaries into the new state frontiers, thus highlighting the fundamental role played by rural communities in the making of Italian society. Far from being mere byproducts of the process of state formation, borders are shown to have been defined by both micro and macro actors and, more importantly, by the interactions between them.
Organización espacial de la economía de la langosta en el estado de Yucatán, México
Authors: Casado Izquierdo José María , Crespo Guerrero José Manuel
Published: July 2023

Considerada alimento gourmet, la langosta es una de las principales pesquerías de México y Yucatán, estado que se especializa en la producción de cola de langosta para el mercado turístico nacional (Cancún). Bajo el posicionamiento teórico de la Organización Espacial de la Economía y una metodología que combina elementos cualitativos y cuantitativos, esta investigación revela la compleja interrelación entre diferentes espacios (productores, procesadores y de consumo) generada por la economía de la langosta yucateca. No obstante, la actual estructura espacial puede verse alterada por la incipiente captura de langosta viva, impulsada por nuevos actores y dirigida al mercado internacional (China).

Authors: Joshi Sanjeev , Reddy Yallala Bharat Kumar , Sai Kalyanam Venkata Siva Sesha , Bobade Komal Santosh , Reddy Kokkanti Varun , Jones Jr. Erick
Published: July 2023

This paper presents an optimization model that utilizes the OSeMOSYS framework to identify the optimal combination of renewable energy sources to minimize costs and CO2 emissions. The model is designed to incorporate various types of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass, and to allocate them in an optimal manner to meet the demand. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by applying it to a case study of a regional energy system. The results show that the optimized use of renewable energy sources can significantly reduce both costs and emissions compared to a business-as-usual scenario. Our findings can inform policymakers and energy planners in making informed decisions to transition towards a more sustainable and cost-effective energy system.

Published: July 2023

Background: In Northwestern Switzerland, recent legislation tackles the needs of community-dwelling older adults by creating Information and Advice Centers (IACs). Previous studies reported difficulties in reaching community-dwelling older adults for community-based programs. We aimed to: 1) systematically identify implementation strategies to promote the IAC among community care providers, older adults and informal caregivers; 2) monitor the delivery of these strategies by the IAC management; and 3) describe the impact of those strategies on reach of community-dwelling older adults. This study was conducted as part of the TRANS-SENIOR project.
Methods: As part of the INSPIRE feasibility assessment, we conducted a pre-experimental post-test study between March and September 2022. The sample included 65+ older adults visiting/calling or being referred to the IAC for the first time. Implementation strategies were selected using implementation mapping and organized in bundles for each group of community care providers and older adults/caregivers. Our evaluation included: estimation of fidelity to the delivery of implementation strategies and bundles by the IAC management and their coverage; referral source of older adults to the IAC; and impact of the strategies on reach of the IAC on the 65+ population living in the care region. Adaptations to the strategies were documented using the FRAME-IS. Descriptive statistics were calculated and reported.
Results: Seven implementation strategies were selected and organized in bundles for each community care provider and older adults and their caregivers. The lowest fidelity score was found in implementation strategies selected for nursing homes whereas the highest score corresponded to strategies targeting older adults and caregivers. “Informational visits” was the strategy with the lowest coverage (2.5% for nursing homes and 10.5% for hospitals and specialized clinics). The main referral sources were self-referrals and referrals by caregivers, followed by nursing homes. The IAC reach among the 65+ population was 5.4%.
Conclusion: We demonstrated the use of implementation mapping to select implementation strategies to reach community-dwelling older adults. The reach was low suggesting that higher fidelity to the delivery of the strategies, and reflection on the causal pathway of the implementation strategies might be needed.
Rola pielęgniarki w opiece nad dzieckiem z oparzeniem II stopnia w trakcie hospitalizacji
Authors: Chabowska Natalia
Published: July 2023

Wstęp. Uraz termiczny u dziecka jest sytuacją dla niego bardzo bolesną i stresującą, a nawet zagrażającą życiu. Wymaga to od zespołu terapeutycznego sprawnego oraz profesjonalnego podejmowania działań zaspakajających potrzeby pacjenta w oparciu o wiedzę i doświadczenie.  Pielęgniarka w opiece na małym dzieckiem oparzonym wykonuje działania na wielu płaszczyznach mając na celu dobro pacjenta oraz jego jak najszybszy powrót do zdrowia, jednoczasowo okazując mu wsparcie oraz empatię.

Cel. Celem pracy było przedstawienie zadań pielęgniarki wobec opieki nad dzieckiem po przebytym urazie termicznym z uwzględnieniem potrzeb biopsychospołecznych pacjenta i jego rodziców/opiekunów. 

Prezentacja przypadku. Dziecko w wieku 2 lat, trafiło na oddział chirurgii dziecięcej z powodu obrażeń powstałych na skutek przeżytego urazu termicznego. Przed rozpoczęciem wstępnej oceny rozległości oraz głębokości ran oparzeniowych podano dziecku leki przeciwbólowe i uspokajające, aby ograniczyć niepokój i ból dziecka. Zdiagnozowano oparzenia mozaikowe IIa/IIb umiejscowione po prawej stronie klatki piersiowej, prawego barku oraz prawego ramienia, a także oparzenia I/IIa stopnia twarzy w okolicy policzka, ust oraz prawej skroni. Powierzchnia oparzona w stosunku do całkowitej powierzchni została oceniona na koło 20%.

Wnioski. W opiece nad dzieckiem oparzonym pielęgniarka ma do czynienia z wieloma poważnymi problemami pielęgnacyjnymi. Uraz termiczny powoduje nie tylko bardzo bolesne rany oparzeniowe, ale może również powodować ogólnoustrojową chorobę oparzeniową. Uraz i hospitalizacja są dla dziecka stresogenne i zaburzają jego komfort psychiczny. Działania pielęgniarki w opiece nad oparzonym dzieckiem są wielopłaszczyznowe, w celu zaspokojenia potrzeb z każdej sfery życia pacjenta.
normatização dos bots políticos pelo Mercosul: considerações a partir da teoria do direito de Thomas Vesting
Authors: Peroni Lampert Guilherme
Published: July 2023

Especificamente, quanto ao problema de pesquisa proposto, isto é, sobre de que forma a teoria do direito de Thomas Vesting e, em especial, a sua teoria metodológica pós-moderna, podem indicar, conceitualmente, o caminho que o MERCOSUL deve ou pode seguir para regular o impacto dos bots políticos sobre o compromisso democrático do bloco, podemos concluir, em primeiro lugar, que é necessária a superação, conforme apontado por Derrida, da axiomática metafísico-antropocêntrica ocidental dominante sobre o justo e injusto. A decorrência imediata dessa virada epistemológica é a necessidade de ampliação do rol de sujeitos de direito, o que demanda que se desloque a centralidade do humano no sistema do direito e se adote uma perspectiva pós-antropocêntrica, isto é, que se considere os humanos usualmente excluídos e os não-humanos (naturais e/ou artificiais), inclusive os bots, não apenas como objetos ou coisas. O sistema do direito deve estar aberto para a possibilidade de justiça por vir, sendo que, para tanto, deve se afastar do logocentrismo e (falo)antropocentrismo que dominam o imaginário social e científico. Por isso, deve, primeiro, incluir os humanos que são geralmente excluídos (como mulheres, crianças, negros e pobres), assim como deve dar a devida proteção aos não-humanos (e ao próprio planeta). A construção de um modelo regulatório de bots políticos pelo MERCOSUL deve estabelecer novos padrões de relação e de normatização que visem proteger justamente a esses sujeitos de direito tradicionalmente periféricos ou excluídos da proteção jurídica, inclusive buscando a igualdade de direitos e garantias prevista para os usuários das plataformas digitais.

Taking advantage of a large ensemble of Convection Permitting-Regional
Climate Models on a pan-Alpine domain and of an object-oriented
dedicated analysis, this study aims to investigate future changes in the
high-impact fall Mediterranean Heavy Precipitation Events at high
warming levels. We identify a robust multi-model agreement for an
increased frequency from central Italy to the northern Balkans combined
with a substantial extension of the affected areas, a dominant influence
of the driving Global Climate Models for projecting changes in the
frequency, an increase in intensity, area, volume and severity over the
French Mediterranean. However, large quantitative uncertainties persist
despite the use of convection-permitting models, with no clear agreement
in frequency changes over southeastern France and a large range of
plausible changes in events’ properties, including for the most intense
events. Model diversity and international coordination are still needed
to provide policy-relevant climate information regarding precipitation
extremes.
Analysis of Sale and Buy Practices in A Review of Sharia Economic Law
Authors: Kadir Syahruddin
Published: July 2023

The practice of buying and selling which has become the primary activity carried out by the community is still not free from fraud and tyranny. The injustice committed by traders or sellers is to show good merchandise and hide merchandise that is not good or defective. Of course, this causes harm to every buyer or consumer, even though Muslims must know that this behavior is strictly prohibited by religion. This study aims to determine the buying and selling practices practiced by the people in the China market in Bone Regency and to find out the sharia economic system implemented by the people in the China market in Bone Regency. Bone. This research method uses field research like the field through data collection namely observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Direct research examines buying and selling practices carried out by the Muslim community at the China Market in Bone Regency, running like a market as it should be. The China market includes markets that carry out buying and selling transactions through the sale of crops from farmers which are obtained directly from the initial farmers. Apart from that, it is also a center for the wholesale trade of plantation, plantation, and fishery products as well as other basic needs. Fraud and tyranny that occurred in the China market and unbalanced market conditions should not have happened because it is prohibited in Islam. This phenomenon shows a violation of Islamic values ​​and law which has strictly prohibited all forms of tyranny and fraud in buying and selling activities so the sharia economic system in the China market has not been implemented optimally.

Comunes diversos. Propiedad, agua y política en los barrios periféricos de Bolivia
Authors: Cielo Cristina
Published: July 2023

Cochabamba, Bolivia Cristina Cielo nos convida a emprender un viaje hacia la Zona Sur, hacia las secas colinas que delinean el horizonte después de dejar atrás las animadas calles del centro con sus mercados e inmuebles atiborrados. Poco a poco, mientras leemos su libro, llegamos a esas edificaciones dispersas construidas entre grandes porciones de tierra y lotes vacíos, llegamos a la denominada periferia. Entonces nos mezclamos con la gente de los barrios periféricos, nos adentramos en sus modos de conformar colectivos y sujetos. También nos topamos con sus relaciones –interpersonales, emprendedoras, unificadas–, esas que nos permiten explorar las disímiles desigualdades que coexisten en ese espacio. La autora va develando lo que se oculta tras la organización comunitaria en los barrios periféricos de Bolivia. Documenta cómo se tejen las disputas alrededor de aquellas cuestiones que atañen a la vida en comunidad: el agua, la propiedad de la tierra, la lucha en conjunto para ser parte de la ciudad. Muestra las formas en que moradores y moradoras de estos barrios constituyen a diario sus subjetividades comunes y diversas, a través de sus prácticas vitales, sus economías afectivas y sus apuestas políticas.
Trajetórias inacianas no império português, segunda metade do século XVIII
Authors: Amantino Marcia
Published: July 2023

Esse texto se propõe a discutir os efeitos da lei publicada em agosto de 1767 por D. José I, obrigando a todos que tivessem cartas de fraternidade outorgadas pela Companhia de Jesus ou que fossem egressos da ordem, a se deslocarem rumo a Lisboa para jurar fidelidade ao monarca. Serão analisados quatro livros em que foram registradas informações pessoais de cada um dos 301 ex-jesuítas que se apresentaram entre os anos de 1767 e 1770. Esse conjunto documental permite perceber um pouco sobre suas vidas e relações sociais que estabeleceram após saírem da ordem, assim como seus deslocamentos pelo império português.

Published: July 2023

A Companhia de Jesus é uma das instituições religiosas que mais tem despertado o interesse por parte de historiadores e, em função disso, inúmeras obras com distintos aportes teóricos e abordagens metodológicas têm sido publicadas mundo afora. O caráter supranacional da ordem tem permitido, sobretudo, que sua atuação seja pensada a partir das discussões da História Global, da História Conectada e da Atlantic History. Contudo, poucos são os trabalhos voltados para o entendimento da atuação de tais religiosos a partir das relações que eles mantiveram com as autoridades, bem como com as chamadas elites coloniais, incluindo nesse grupo também os letrados, quer sejam eles religiosos ou não. Tais relações proporcionaram a aquisição e/ou manutenção de prestígio e poder nas sociedades coloniais, de uma questionada riqueza e de privilégios econômicos e sociais. Mas, para além desses inegáveis desdobramentos, essas relações também proporcionaram a construção de redes sociais que podem ser identificadas por meio das trajetórias de determinados membros da ordem no âmbito dos Impérios coloniais ibéricos. Este dossiê pretende reunir trabalhos que discutam a inserção da Companhia de Jesus e, especialmente, de alguns de seus membros nas dinâmicas relacionais das sociedades dos impérios coloniais nos quais a ordem atuou.
Long - Run and Short-Run Co-Integration between FIIs and Nifty Indices: An ARDL Approach
Authors: Patel Suraj , Manglani Amit , Rani Yadav Disha
Published: July 2023

The study examines the long run and short run co-integration between Foreign Institutional Investments (FII) and Nifty indices in India using 22 years monthly data from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2022 for the study. The study is of secondary nature that has been collected from secondary source published in official websites. For examine the co-integration between variables we have applied ARDL bound test approach. The study confirmed that there is positive co-integration in short run but negative co-integration in long run that means a change in nifty by 1 percent accelerates positive change in FII investment by 19.0872 Cr in short run and declining the nifty index affect FIIs investment negatively in long run. The result of bound test depicted that F-statistics (57.58212) is coming more that lower bound (3.62) and upper bound (4.16) which show significant long run co-integration. By looking the result we suggest the investor should go for momentum trading in short run and go for value trading in long run.
Massagem clássica como tratamento complementar no controle da hipertensão arterial
Authors: Rodrigues Gabriela , Moraes Jéssika karoline de Arruda Moreira , Padilha Evandro Luis
Published: July 2023

A hipertensão arterial é caracterizada como uma doença silenciosa, pelo fato de, na maior parte das vezes não apresentar sintomas, e que não tem cura. Ela pode ser desencadeada por fatores genéticos, hormonais, ambientais, neurais, entre outros. Sua aferição é feita em milímetros de mercúrio (mmHg), uma vez que seu controle depende da regulação do sistema nervoso, vasos sanguíneos, coração e rins, o que se deriva de um mecanismo muito complexo. Os valores de pressão arterial, que variam sistematicamente entre igual ou maior que 14 por 9, modificam-se no decorrer do dia, e a hipertensão arterial ocorre quando a resistência periférica total e o débito cardíaco são modificados. A patologia em questão pode ser tratada clinicamente por meio de técnicas estéticas que ajudam a controlar esses níveis pressóricos, incluindo a massagem clássica. Com isso, a massagem clássica é considerada um método científico de tratar disfunções do organismo. É realizada por meio de movimentos manuais, tais como amassamento, rolamento, percussão, deslizamentos, vibração, entre outros. Alguns de seus benefícios são o relaxamento profundo, a melhora da circulação sanguínea, a hidratação da pele e o alívio de ansiedade e tensão. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a aplicação da massagem clássica em um indivíduo hipertenso, bem como sua capacidade de diminuir os níveis pressóricos para o controle da hipertensão arterial. Para tanto, participará deste estudo uma voluntária do gênero feminino, com idade entre 40 e 50 anos, raça branca, cujo diagnóstico indica hipertensão arterial. Como método de avaliação será realizada a aferição da pressão arterial antes e após a aplicação da técnica. A voluntária será submetida a 10 sessões de massagem clássica, sendo realizadas uma vez por semana, no período vespertino. Espera-se concluir a partir deste estudo que a técnica de massagem clássica seja eficaz no controle da hipertensão arterial sistêmica.
Associação da drenagem linfática manual e fototerapia no lipoedema
Authors: Santos Luana Cristina de Sousa dos , Moreira Juliana Aparecida Ramiro
Published: July 2023

Introdução: Dentre os diversos tratamentos estéticos utilizados atualmente, a drenagem linfática e a fototerapia (Laser e Led) são algumas opções no tratamento do lipoedema, auxiliando na desobstrução da linfa e, em conjunto, a utilização da fototerapia para estimulação dos fibroblastos na produção de colágeno. Objetivo: Analisar por meio do estudo de caso os efeitos da drenagem linfática manual, associada com a fototerapia no tratamento de lipoedema. Metodologia: O presente estudo contou com uma voluntária do gênero feminino, com idade de 21 anos, que apresentava lipoedema. Foi avaliada por meio da anamnese corporal, além da análise de fotos com auxilio do software ImageJ®. Subsequentemente, foram realizadas as sessões de drenagem linfática manual e aplicado a fototerapia. O aparelho utilizado nas sessões foi o da marca MMOptics®, foram realizadas o total de 10 sessões duas vezes por semana, no Laboratório de Estética Corporal da Fundação Hermínio Ometto - FHO. Resultados: De acordo com os resultados analisados através do software ImageJ®, pode-se observar que o lado direito da região do glúteo e da coxa no início do tratamento apresentava 1,846 cm (área) e o lado da região do glúteo e da coxa esquerda apresentava 1,571 cm (área). Após a associação da drenagem linfática e fototerapia, houve uma diminuição da área tratada, onde os valores obtidos foram lado direito 1,37 cm (área) e o lado esquerdo 0,14cm (área), sendo que os valores obtidos na pesquisa foram aferidos através da análise de determinadas áreas das regiões selecionadas para estudo. Conclusão: O estudo de caso realizado pode concluir que houve uma melhora na região que receberam ambos os tratamentos isolados ou associados. Porém, o tratamento isolado de fototerapia apresentou uma melhora mais evidente do que pode-se observar na associação da drenagem linfática manual e a fototerapia, comprovando os efeitos benéficos da fototerapia no tratamento do lipoedema. No entanto, será necessária a realização de mais pesquisas cientificas acerca do uso de fototerapia no tratamento do lipoedema, principalmente no que diz respeito ao parâmetro da fototerapia e número maior de indivíduos.

A descriptive epidemiological study was carried out for understanding the ranking order and temporal distribution of parturient haemoglobinuria in buffalo. For this data was recorded from each household of eight randomly selected villages. Parturient haemoglobinuria ranked as number one disease among all observed cases with respect to mortality (1.03%) and proportional mortality (29.41%) rate and appeared as 4thand 3rdposition in ranking with respect to incidence (3.97%) and case fatality (25.97%) rate. For assessment of temporal distribution, data of 77 haemoglobinuria cases was analyzed. Significantly (P<0.05) increased proportion of haemoglobinuria cases were recorded during December (23.3%) and in 4th lactation (31.1%). Majority (62.22%) of pregnant animals were affected during or after 7th month of pregnancy whereas; significantly (P<0.05) increased proportion (68.88%) of non pregnant animals was affected within 60 days of parturition. Findings indicated that parturient haemoglobinuria was among most important diseases of breeding age buffaloes causing 29.41% of the total deaths.

Objective: The current study was designed to examine the antibacterial activity of various extracts of Citrullus colocynthis fruits against Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enterica, Shigella flexneri, Campylobacter jejuni, Micoplasma pneumonia, and Shigella dysenteriae.Methodology: Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by agar disc diffusion method. The available genome of C. colocynthis was utilized to retrieve sequence of highly conserved genes matK, rpl20, rpl32, and rps7 and to identify their relevant genes in C. rehmii.Results and Conclusion: The maximum antimicrobial activity was shown by ethanol extract (S. f. 32mm, C. j. 27mm, H. p. 26mm, S. d. 22mm, M. p. 21mm, S. e. 19mm) while least activity was given by n-hexane extract (S. f. 13mm, C. j. 11mm, H. p. 18mm, S. d. 8mm, M. p. 10mm, S. e. 8mm) when compared with standard antibiotic levofloxacin (S. f. 30mm, C. j. 30mm, H. p. 30mm, S. d. 28mm, M. p. 25mm, S. e. 20mm). All extracts had given maximum response against H. pylori and S. flexneri and least response against M. pneumoniae and S. enterica. The in-silico genome-wide investigation studies showed that all four genes of C. rehmii were identified with high conservation based on motif distribution and phylogenetic relations.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY IN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE LAHORE
Authors: Z. Haseeb
Published: July 2023

The relationship between achieving an ecological future, economic growth, andhuman well-being has a long and varied philosophical history. Environmental health and safety(EHS) refers to the recognition, accurate assessment, and prevention of various health risks at workas well as the preservation of employees' productivity. On the other hand, ergonomics combines allof these issues to enhance the competency and well-being of workers. For this particular studyproject, an industrial estate was chosen, and it was further separated into three subzones formonitoring and assessment purposes. Instead of focusing on specific concerns, Industrial Estatewas created to address the difficulties associated with industrialization as a whole. The utilizationof two major data gathering techniques was employed. A specific checklist for EHS proceduresand a review of the site area from an EHS perspective. To address the general situation of theindustrial region, the appropriate measures of the various operations were also taken intoconsideration. Reviewing complaints and accident reports, conducting interviews, and othertechniques are examples of further data collecting approaches. The majority of the results were inconformity with national norms of PEQs and international standards of the World HealthOrganization (WHO), according to a comparison of monitoring reports for ambient air quality andwater quality. The PEQS-defined limit for PM10 was being exceeded. The graphs show how theair and water quality are currently in each location of the industrial site. The industrial estate's keyproblem zones have also been highlighted by the risk assessment matrix. However, a number ofconsiderations suggested that improving the way EHS procedures were implemented wasnecessary for EHS compliance with corporate SOPs.

The most prevalent mineral in the earth's mantle is silicon, which ranks second only to oxygen, but unlike oxygen, it has not been shown to be necessary for plant development. Plants can only absorb silicon in one of two forms: silicic acid (Si (OH) 4) or mono silicic acid (H4 SiO4), neither of which is found in the planet's crust as silicon dioxide (SiO2). Silicon fertilizer has been shown toboost agricultural output and sustainability, and its use has been met with widespread praise. When water is lost via the stomata of a plant, the gel that has been polymerized from the silicon solution in the roots is precipitated out of solution. It has been shown that polymerized gel has no significant part in the physical functions of the plant system. This article reviews the function that silicon in soil, water, and plants plays in protecting ecosystems against abiotic and biotic pressures. The interplay between silicon, plant species, and environments is nuanced.

Após a chegada da Covid-19 ao Brasil, em que os primeiros casos aconteceram em centros populacionais e comerciais, sua propagação regional continuou para cidades marginais conectadas a esses centros, num processo de interiorização das infecções. Modelos que explicam esse fenômeno podem ajudar na preparação das medidas necessárias para contenção dos novos casos. Em vista disso, o presente trabalho propõe uma nova variável aleatória que modela a probabilidade de atraso, em dias, da primeira infecção numa cidade marginal acoplada a um centro já infectado, uma cidade polo com transmissão comunitária da infecção. A nova variável e sua distribuição de probabilidade são formuladas sob premissas teóricas gerais, ao passo que uma metodologia de uso é exemplificada no cenário real das cidades do Espírito Santo, em que os resultados corroboram a utilidade da nova variável na avaliação de risco da primeira infecção por importação.
A Dinâmica do Controle na Anorexia Nervosa
Authors: Dorfman Ieda Zamel , Rossato Mara Lucia
Published: July 2023

No decorrer de nossa experiência clínica, observávamos que os jovens já apresentavam alguma alteração emocional e comportamental muito antes de a doença estar estabelecida. Identificávamos também, sistematicamente, a presença da dinâmica do controle em todos os casos de anorexia nervosa por nós atendidos. Esta razão despertou nosso interesse em aprofundar os estudos nesse aspecto. Verificamos, então, a escassa produção do assunto, ao fazermos uma breve revisão teórica sobre o tema. Portanto, tentaremos evidenciar o entendimento do que representa o ‘controle’ nessa patologia e na família. O presente artigo versa sobre a questão do controle no transtorno alimentar, anorexia nervosa, por intermédio da análise de alguns aspectos do filme Maus Hábitos, dirigido por Simón Bross, 2007, que aborda a relação de quatro mulheres que têm suas vidas unidas não somente pelos laços familiares, mas, principalmente, pelos transtornos alimentares. Não serão aprofundadas as questões de etiologia, sintomatologia e evolução do transtorno, uma vez que existe uma ampla literatura a respeito. As histórias de duas das quatro personagens, Matilde e Elena, servem de base para discutir e exemplificar a dinâmica paradoxal do controle como forma de descontrole.

The nation live and social civilized must be built from inside. It means the quality of heart and mental of human are the most important thing. So, the charater person is necesarried. It can help in building the character of nation. The pastoral agent should have some qualities, originaland positive character in order totake a part ofnation building. In this article, Vinsen Nase explains about character building ofpastoral agent. Character building is to buid the character of pastoral agent and it is so important for them. Pastoral agents are man and woman that work in serving the religious community and Cahatholic Church. Characater building go hand in hand with mental revolution. What kind of character that belongs to pastoral agent? In case of pastoral agent, the required character comprises of physic, intelectual, emtional and social maturity. All those characters are required in serving the society. Character building could be built through organization, education, family and media.
Post-Sekularisme Dan Urgensi Agama Resurektif (Perspektif Pastoral Gereja Katolik)
Authors: Denar Benediktus
Published: July 2023

The emergence of the post-secular phenomenon as a critique of secularism is not without problem. The revival of religious zeal which is merely restorative in nature without being based on the defense of humanity and the integrity of creation is a great hole that deserves to be criticized from post-secularism. The true post-secularism must present the face of a resurrection religion; sensitive to human anxiety and suffering. The Catholic Church can displays the face of the merciful religion if it can applies pastoral from below and prioritizes the poor and oppressed people. In addition, the apparatus of the Church must show exemplary behavior by abstaining from corrupt
COMPARAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO ECONÔMICO-FINANCEIRO E RETORNO DO PREÇO DAS AÇÕES DE EMPRESAS INSERIDAS NO SETOR DE CONSUMO, NOVO MERCADO VERSUS DEMAIS SEGMENTOS DA B3

Esta pesquisa investiga se existe diferença significativa entre as companhias, inseridas no setor de consumo, optantes e não optantes pelo Novo Mercado (NM), quanto ao desempenho econômico-financeiro, tamanho da empresa e  retorno dos preços das ações. Considerou-se amostra composta por 12 empresas, no período de 2009 a 2019. Utilizaram-se técnicas de pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva e documental, com dados tratados por meio dos testes de média (Mann-Whitney) e Correlação (Spearman). Os resultados sugerem que empresas não optantes pelo NM apresentaram maior liquidez, menor dependência de capital de terceiros, maior endividamento em curto prazo, maior lucratividade e rentabilidade, com empresas de menor tamanho. O retorno dos preços das ações no grupo NM apresentou associação positiva e significativa com liquidez corrente e seca, com margem líquida e rentabilidade; e com o endividamento a associação foi inversa. Além disso, não ocorreu relação significativa entre retorno dos preços das ações com o tamanho da empresa.
Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles: A Potential Antibacterial Agent, Antioxidant, and Colorimetric Nanoprobe for the Detection of Hg2+ Ions

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) prepared by green synthesis have a lot of potentials in various fields. Among them, as an antioxidant, antibacterial agent, and nanoprobe for the colorimetric detection of mercury (Hg2+) ions is thought to be the most important. The antibacterial, antioxidant, and colorimetric sensing potential of the greenly produced AgNPs utilizing Piper chaba stem extract are all predicted in this investigation. By using the disc diffusion method, the antibacterial activity of greenly produced AgNPs are assessed, and the findings are measured from the zone of inhibition (ZOI). It is revealed that the Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus spp., Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial strains are significantly resisted by the greenly produced AgNPs. The antioxidant activity test of AgNPs reveals a considerable impact on free radical scavenging having the inhibitory concentration (IC50) is 1.13 mL (equivalent to 0.45 mg mL−1). Also, with a low limit of detection of 28 ppm, the resulting AgNPs are used as highly selective and economical colorimetric sensors for Hg2+ detection. The study's findings support the hypothesis that Piper chaba stems can serve as a source for the production of AgNPs with high antibacterial and antioxidant activity and usefulness for simple colorimetric readings of Hg2+.
Moulding environmental contexts to optimise neurodiverse executive function performance and development: A goodness‐of‐fit account
Authors: Hendry Alexandra , Scerif Gaia
Published: July 2023

Executive functions (EFs) provide a top‐down response to stimuli and events in pursuit of a goal. We argue that the extent to which an individual's environment is enriching and a good fit for them influences whether their performance at that moment is towards their upper‐ or lower‐limit of EF ability. We outline the implications of this for interpreting measures of EF. We next argue that a child's sensitivity to the environment, and their caregivers' ability to modulate the environment to improve goodness‐of‐fit, influences the cumulative effects of the environment in shaping that child's actualised EF ability (the performance level shown in day‐to‐day situations), and thus their skill development. We therefore recommend that EF interventions be designed to improve children's actualised EF ability by improving their day‐to‐day environment, while simultaneously helping children modulate their physiological response to environmental challenges, and providing opportunities to practise EF skills in ecologically‐valid contexts.

Introduction
Authors: Hollander Matthew M. , Turowetz Jason
Published: July 2023

The Introduction explains the book’s purpose: it treats the Milgram experiment as an empirical case study of morality in an actual, concrete situation of social interaction, Milgram’s lab. Despite occasional commentary and analysis, in retrospect the connection of Milgram to morality has been a serious blind spot in the Milgram literature. Until now, there has been no sustained, book-length attempt to link Milgram with research on morality per se, despite the important connection. The Milgram renaissance of the past 15 years has fundamentally transformed what is known about Milgram’s lab, especially materials relevant to explaining Obedient behavior. In building on and challenging this research, we recover the constitutive order of interaction that made the experiment possible in the first place, centering participants’ own practices, reasons, and accounts to tell a new, empirically grounded story about Milgram: one about morality (and immorality) in the making of sense and self.
The earliest Nature
Authors: Ragan Mark A.
Published: July 2023

This chapter examines the earliest concepts of high-level groups of natural beings, as evidenced by early figurative art, symbolic language, folk taxonomies, creation myths, totemism, animal deities, anthropomorphized plants, and early ideas of body and soul. It finds little evidence that high-level concepts of plant and animal have existed from the beginning. Instead, widespread belief in transformation, metamorphosis, metempsychosis, anamnesis, reincarnation, transmutation, and transubstantiation point to fluidity among categories in the natural world. A high-level distinction between plants and animals was not rooted in prehistory.
Neoplatonic Nature
Authors: Ragan Mark A.
Published: July 2023

Zoophyta gained a foothold in Neoplatonism, an elaborate synthesis of philosophy, mysticism, and religious practise. Neoplatonists held that the cosmos itself, and all within it, has come about by emanation from an unknowable First Principle. Animals and plants are late and rather lowly stages in the resulting continuum, but philosophers sometimes used them to illustrate points of logic. In Isagoge, Porphyry illustrated how genera are differentiated into species: plant and animal are the species of animate corporeal substance. Porphyry’s students, notably Iamblichus, asked whether intermediates are possible, as nature does not pass directly from opposite to opposite; key texts have been lost, but Dexippus, a disciple of Iamblichus, argued that zoophytes mediate between plants and animals. Ammonius Hermiæ and (even more clearly) John Philoponus went farther, arguing that zoophytes are distinct from animals and plants because they use sense, but do not move from place to place.
