Published: December 2024

Introdução: Esclerose Múltipla (EM) e Espectro da Neuromielite Óptica (ENMO) são doenças autoimunes e inflamatórias do Sistema Nervoso Central. A EM é mais prevalente que a ENMO, e em ambas se sugere que haja fatores genéticos e ambientais envolvidos. Objetivo: Avaliar aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos de pacientes diagnosticados com EM e ENMO em centros de referência de Belo Horizonte. Método: Estudo observacional, descritivo, longitudinal retrospectivo, realizado com pacientes de dois centros de referência em Belo Horizonte. Foram incluídos maiores de 18 anos, diagnosticados com ENMO ou EM com os critérios atuais. Foram analisadas variáveis epidemiológicas, clínicas e terapêuticas extraídas dos prontuários. Utilizou-se frequência simples e percentual para as variáveis qualitativas e a mediana e o intervalo interquartílico para as quantitativas. Resultados:  61 pacientes foram incluídos (57 com EM e 4 com ENMO). 82% eram mulheres, a maioria com EM era branca (58%) e com ENMO não branca (100%). A idade média ao diagnóstico foi de 34 anos na EM e 47 no ENMO. Os transtornos de saúde mental foram os mais prevalentes na EM (31%) e no ENMO (50%). Sintomas sensitivos foram os mais frequentes na EM (58%) e no ENMO (50%). 88% dos pacientes com EM e 75% dos com ENMO estavam em uso de medicamentos. Conclusão: O perfil dos pacientes avaliados é semelhante ao retratado na literatura. As principais limitações do estudo incluem método retrospectivo, amostra reduzida e ausência de registro de algumas variáveis em prontuários. Encorajamos a realização de mais trabalhos em outras regiões do Brasil.

The discussion of the cultural-cognitive aspects of the Geor­gian tran­slations of the most difficult text of the Old Testament, „Song of Songs“, is connected with many difficulties. Because such high texts are characterized by hiding and obscuring themselves, covering the composition, disguising them­selves through allegorical contexts. The places to be analyzed in the Geor­gian editions of this book of King Solomon are compared with each other, as well as with the academic text of the Septuagint, the Septuagint accom­pa­nied by a literal Hebrew translation, the Sinic and Venetian codices of the Septuagint. Georgian editions of the Bible used:
Revision O – The Oshk or Athos Bible and Jerusalem Codex of 978 Digi­tized by Zurab Sarjveladze and Jost Gippert;
Redaction of the S-Mtskheta Bible according to an unpubli­shed ma­nus­cript of the 17th –18th centuries;
Editorial – Α unpublished manuscript of the 17th century;
Edition Β – the text of the Moscow Bible of 1743.
The paper presents the exegesis of the context and megatext of the Georgian title „Song of Songs“ 2. The dramaturgy of remarks in the Georgian translation and the Septuagint Remarque code. The article analyzes the most important cultural and cognitive aspects of Georgian translations of the „Song of Songs“. The translation of the title is not literal, since Georgian translators and editors instead of „song“ („Άσμα Ασμάτων“,) chose the lexeme „praise“, „the best prai­­­se“. This reduplicated form, which expresses the superlative deg­ree, has the contexts of both „praise“ and „singing“. The choice of this lexeme is deliberate, since the Song of Songs was read alle­gorically. In the Georgian Bible (edition A), it is directly indicated in the title that this is a praise of the Most Holy Theotokos, the best of blessings. In the ancient Oshk Bible, verse 1 is missing. 1. In all ancient translations, except for the Syriac translation of the Peshita, the title says „song“. And in the Syriac translation of Peshita the lexeme is „Wisdom of Wisdom“ (Lo­pukhin). In the Old Armenian translation there is also a song „Երգ Երգոց“. Despite the fact that the so-called Bakar Bible (1743) was compared with the Slavic edition of the Bible, nothing has changed in the translation of the title „Song of Songs“. The Georgian tradition won. In the Georgian editions there are remarks. The appearance of remarks, on the one hand, is caused by the absence of the category of gender in the Georgian language. Remarks are absent in the Hebrew text, as well as in many codices of the Septuagint. As far as possible, we compa­red the remarks of all the Georgian editions under consideration with the remarks of the Sinaiticus Codex of the Septuagint of the 4th century and tried to determine their place in the artistic fabric of the text. It is very likely that the Georgian monks from the Sinai monastery were well acquainted with this codex. In the Mtskheta Bible-S, more de­tailed, expanded remarks, which play a large role in the composition of the „Song of Songs“.

The unpublished work of V. Nozadze "Vepkhistqaosnis Gulta­met­qve­leba (The language of Heart in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin”; autograph) is kept in the National Library of the Parliament of Georgia, in the archive of Victor Nozadze, brought from France by G. Sharadze. The work consists of two notebooks; The first note­book occupies pages 1-89 and consists of 27 small subsections, in which from the poems of "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" mainly the lines related to the heart are discussed. The second notebook includes pages 1-63 (the last 7 pages are missing) and here 36 sub­hea­dings are highlighted, in which from the poem the lines related to the character and circumstances of the heart are analyzed. The date of writing of the work is unknown.
"The Knight in the Panther's Skin" presents general views on the heart. Here the biblical teaching on the heart occupies a large place. Two meanings of the heart are distinguished (the vital center and the bearer of spirituality – "spiritual heart") and the functions of the heart. V. Nozadze talks about the relationship between the heart and faith (faith is the "state of the heart"). Here, the most important thesis is expressed that in the Bible the heart is presented as a "subject = man", "the heart is a thinker and an actor". Accor­ding to V. Nozadze, the view of a Georgian person on the heart corres­ponds to the biblical understanding of the heart, however, the scientist does not believe that the Bible influences this, but – the personal opinion of Georgians about the heart, derived from reality. The work mentions that the "heart" in "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" is used more than 300 times, which is due to the importance of the heart in human life, namely, it is considered the "center of life" and the "principle of life". According to V. Nozadze, Rustaveli uses "heart" in the "folk" sense, in the meaning of feeling, psyche asso­ciated with consciousness and reason; and "brain" is not found in the poem, "brain" is a synonym for "heart". "Heart" is sometimes used instead of "mind" and "conscience". According to V. Nozadze, "heart" as a physical organ is rarely used in the poem, and then only in a figurative sense. Accor­ding to his definition, heart, knowledge and mind are inconceivable without each other, that consciousness and mind depend on feeling; and the heart, mind and soul – to­gether – are life. Here, a remarkable idea is emphasized that in "The Knight in the Panther's Skin", as in the Bible, the heart is personi­fied, it is the subject and the second person in a person.
V. Nozadze singles out and explains phraseology, composites, epithets and metaphors related to the "heart" from the poem. When discussing va­rious issues, he mainly relies on the Bible, St. Fathers' Teachings, foreign and Georgian explanatory dictionaries, as well as on scientific literature. “The language of Heart in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” by V. Nozadze, like his other works, is an extremely important fundamental study.

The poem about the martyrdom of his mother, Queen Ketevan, was written by King Teimuraz I (1589-1663) in 1627-1628. „The Torture and Book of Queen Ketevan“, in historical order, brief­ly describes the end of the life of the Queen of Kakheti – Saint Ketevan (1560-1624) and her torture, her dedication to the Chris­tian faith.
In the poem, as a later addition, three stanzas written by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani are included, where Ketevan's torture is directly shown, but, unlike Teimuraz's original and mostly realistic narrative, Orbeliani presents the spiritual and aesthetic dimension of the queen's torture with special attention from the beginning. Such a vision is based on a deep understanding of the religious content of the event itself. Torture is described by the poet as the beautification of the martyr, his perfect adornment with the charms of bodily beauty. Torture loses its tragic content because it is ima­gined as a queen standing in front of a mirror and beautifying the face or body. From Orbeliani's Christian point of view, a person is beautiful when she or he, when presented before God, is spiri­tually beautiful. The most beautiful is a saint who sacrifices his body for the faithfulness of the Christian faith.
It is worth noting, primarily because of the poetic value of the text, another poem: „The Martyrdom of Saint Queen Ketevan“, which was published in 1819, and which was written by Dimitri Bagrationi (1746-1826), a Georgian poet, living in Russia. It is re­mar­kable that the author, while writing his work, is clearly based on Teimuraz's text, but he widely expands and develops the vision of the base tab – the aesthetic dimension of torture, which necessa­rily implies seeing the spiritual beauty and spiritual victory of the martyr behind the suffering.
Dimitri Bagration’s writings express the poet's double vision: the earthly, visible reality acquires and carries a different meaning from the spiritual point of view, while it, and exactly what happens in the world, is evaluated accordingly from the heavenly height.
The poets, Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani and Dimitri Orbeliani, firmly followed the direction indicated by Teimuraz and, following their own poetic vision, both impressively presented the beauty of torture.

The concept of absurdity appears in world literature even with the authors of the ancient era (Aristophanes, Plautus, etc.), howe­ver, in a more established form it occurs iv later works ("Gulliver's Travels", "Tristram Shandy", "Alice in Wonderland") and Calderon's dramaturgy ("Life is a dream"). In the above-mentioned texts, the characteristic features of the concept of the absurd begin to be rea­lized which in the 20th century landed in the philosophy of absurd, and the theater of absurd. French existentialists – Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus are at the head of absurd philosophy: It was in their philosophy that the theory of absurd was formed, which, in both cases, took an individual form. Albert Ca­mus dedicated to this issue a brilliant essay – "The myth of Sisy­phus", in which he formulated his views on the philosophy of absurd. The most intense manifestation of the philo­sophy of absurd in literature became the Theatre of Absurd, which was for­med in Europe in the 1950s due to the creative work of Samuel Beckett and his dramaturgy. Beckett, Ionesco, Adamov and other play-writers broke a new page in the world dramaturgy and writing.
It is significant that the Georgian literature even being within the framework of the Soviet ideology was able to reflect this event and give different forms to the literary mode of the absurd. From this point of view, particular attention deserves the creative work of Georgian writers – Guram Rcheulishvili and Revaz Chei­shvili. The “special term Soviet Absurd” is implemented by the author of the essay in relation to their novels as a manifestation of resis­tance against the totalitarian ideology.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to develop a sustainable technology-based Adiwiyata program implementation model to shape the characteristics of environmentally conscious students in Probolinggo City. Using a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method, this study analyzed the relationship between school policies, government involvement, technological innovation, student character formation, and the sustainability of Adiwiyata schools. The study population consisted of schools in Probolinggo City involved in the Adiwiyata program, with a sample of 200 respondents, including principals, teachers, and students. The results showed that technological innovation acts as a significant mediating variable between school policies and government involvement in shaping students’ character and the sustainability of Adiwiyata schools. Strong school policies and government involvement through regulations and technical training have been shown to increase the effectiveness of the Adiwiyata program, especially with the support of technology. The technological innovations implemented, such as energy management and communication platforms, have been shown to increase students’ environmental awareness and active participation in environmental activities. These findings have important implications for educational policy and environmental program management in schools. Recommendations include the need for increased government regulatory support for technology integration in schools as well as the development of school policies that prioritize all school members’ active participation in technology-based environmental programs. Further studies are required to explore the long-term impact of technology implementation on environmental education in other schools in Indonesia.

Hypertension is a leading cause of disease burden in developing countries. Leading factors are obesity, increased cholesterol levels, and long-term oxidative stress. Since commercially available drugs for cardiovascular diseases such as antioxidants and ACE receptor blockers are expensive, preventive cheaper alternatives derived from foods are sought after. Lakatan, one of the most abundant and cheap food sources in the Philippines has been proven to have antioxidant and antihypertensive properties but studies exploring the proteins and bioactive peptides responsible for its health benefits are very limited. In this study, proteins from Lakatan (Musa acuminata Colla) have been studied to understand the components of banana that gives its health benefits. In silico analysis was done to determine the presence of bioactive peptides. Results showed that a 14.697 kDa lectin may release antioxidative and antihypertensive peptides upon digestion. Isolation of the crude/total protein of “Lakatan” banana (Musa acuminata) flesh was done using 500 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0, 100 mM KCl, 2% polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP). The protein concentration of the crude/total protein was determined using Lowry assay and results showed a value equal to 0.865 mg/mL ± 0.052 mg/mL. The crude/total protein was subjected to proteolytic digestion using pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and thermolysin as enzymes for 3-, 12-, and 24 - hours digestion time. Using densitometric analysis, complete digestion has occurred after 24 hours of digestion time. The crude/total proteins and digests were subjected to antioxidative assay using 2,2-diphenyl1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and spectrophotometric Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibition assay. Results of the DPPH assay showed the highest antioxidative activity of 54.00% from the undigested crude/total proteins. Among the different digests, the 12 h digest (38.60%) had the highest antioxidative activity. Results of the ACE assay showed the highest inhibition (43.03%) after 24 h digestion time. These study shows that Lakatan has the potential to be a cheap source of antioxidants and antihypertensive functional food which can be further explored for drug discovery and development.
Integrating disparate data sources using IIoT 4.0 technologies to enhance operational performance of dynamic value stream maps
Authors: Lynch Adam Carlton , Dasaram Kiran Kumar
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes a systematic framework for enhancing value streams by integrating the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Lean management, with a focus on Lean 4.0. Traditional Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is time-consuming and only provides periodic snapshots of a process. Integrating Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Information Communication Technology (ICT), and Lean principles address the gaps in traditional methodologies. CPS and ICT combined in the industry 4.0 era are collectively termed IIoT, while combining Lean management within Industry 4.0 is referred to as IIoT 4.0. Lean 4.0 defines the use of Industry 4.0 technology and Lean manufacturing principles for efficient, mistake-proof production systems. The study was conducted at a skeet equipment manufacturing industry in the Midwest of the United States. The company struggled with Lean management, high demand, limited plant capacity, and communication issues affecting production deadlines. The Digital Twin method was incorporated to replicate CPS and ICT, and it integrates well with other Industry 4.0 tools. A digital twin simulation for producing a base variant in one shift was constructed using real-time production data, ensuring it accurately imitates the actual process. This framework allows for analysis and testing without interrupting production and provides input for a Dynamic Value Stream Map (DVSM) to implement Lean practices and eliminate waste.

Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo refletir, a partir da prática vivenciada no curso de pedagogia  como a contação de histórias e o contato com os livros são importantes para o desenvolvimento das crianças. A literatura infantil no cotidiano escolar e familiar contribui para a aquisição da leitura e da formação de futuros leitores críticos e conscientes para exercer sua cidadania. Utilizou-se como bases teóricas para fundamentar a análise das experiências vivenciadas Pimenta (1995), Oliveira (2018), Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil (1998) Russo(2012) Abramovich(1997), Costa (2007).A literatura infantil é um gênero literário definido pelo público a que se destina. Certos textos são considerados pelos adultos como sendo próprios à leitura pela criança e é, a partir desse juízo, que recebem a definição de gênero e passam a ocupar determinado lugar entre os demais livros.A literatura infantil é um caminho que leva a criança a desenvolver a imaginação, emoções, e sentimentos de forma prazerosa significativa. Hoje a dimensão da leitura infantil é muito mais ampla e importante, proporcionando um desenvolvimento social e emocional.A Literatura Infantil, utilizada de modo adequado, é um instrumento de suma importância na construção do conhecimento do educando, fazendo com que ele desperte para o mundo da leitura não só como um ato de aprendizagem significativa, mas também como uma atividade prazerosa.para alcançar o objetivo de formação de leitores vai exigir de nós professores e futuros professores muita criatividade, dedicação, pesquisa, pois hoje lidamos com muitas tecnologias que de certa forma disputam espaço com as atividades escolares e para as crianças muitas vezes se tornam muito mais atrativas, por isso a criatividade de fazer das tecnologias aliadas a esse processo de incentivo a leitura. Ao proporcionarmos esses momentos, estaremos motivando e cultivando o prazer de ouvir e ler.

The study of fundamental rights emerges in a rapidly changing legal and social landscape, driven by technological advances and new digital realities. As traditional concepts of dignity and freedom are reassessed, new dimensions of protection emerge, such as mental privacy and cognitive freedom, which are particularly relevant in light of the rise of neurorights. The increasing integration of neurotechnology and digital technologies into everyday life imposes the need for a critical review of current legislation to ensure that fundamental rights adapt to new demands and challenges. This study aims to explore the evolution and applicability of these rights, offering an in-depth analysis of the ways in which they can be expanded and adapted to ensure the cognitive autonomy and psychological protection of individuals in a context where the boundaries between the digital and the biological are increasingly blurred. The research seeks to fill gaps in the existing literature and promote an essential debate on the effectiveness of current legal protections and the formulation of public policies appropriate for the digital age.

Humanized care in emergency and urgent care units represents a challenge, mainly due to the demand for speed and accuracy in actions. The purpose of this study is to examine how the nurse's intervention in patient reception and risk categorization can serve as a resource to humanize care in these units. The study is based on a literature review and the evaluation of nursing practices, emphasizing the nurse's role in patient assessment. An effective reception, combined with adequate risk classification, assists in clinical prioritization and the creation of a more humanized care environment. The study indicates that ethical conduct, efficient communication, and proper nurse training are crucial elements for ensuring patient-centered care.

A violência contra mulheres indígenas, reflete pressões políticas, sociais e econômicas. Elas enfrentam dificuldades em exercer seus direitos devido ao racismo institucional e à distância entre suas aldeias e os centros urbanos. O poder público deve garantir sua dignidade, preservação cultural e direitos territoriais. Diante disso, o objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar a legislação brasileira existente para combater a violência contra mulheres indígenas, visando identificar a proteção efetiva dos direitos dessas mulheres e a promoção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. A metodologia empregada foi realizada através das buscas em bases de dados acadêmicas como Google Scholar, SciELO e JSTOR. Diante dos dados encontrados foi realizado uma análise das informações governamentais, leis, decretos e programas específicos relacionados à violência contra mulheres indígenas. A análise de conteúdo foi realizada para resumir e sintetizar as informações coletadas, destacando as principais conclusões e recomendações. Em conclusão, a proteção dos direitos das mulheres indígenas e a erradicação da violência contra elas são imperativas para uma sociedade justa e igualitária.

A INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO DA DISCIPLINA ESCOLAR EMC: O DECRETO-LEI N°869/1969, SEUS ATORES E IMPLICAÇÕES.
Authors: Feijó Neto Álvaro José Feijó Neto
Published: December 2024

Esse artigo se propõem a pensar a institucionalização da disciplina escolar Educação Moral e Cívica (EMC), criada durante a ditadura civil militar brasileira. Buscaremos trabalhar no decorrer do texto as disputas entre os órgãos regulatórios em razão da institucionalização ou não da disciplina e qual eram as intenções dos militares ao propor essa ação. A análise será centrada principalmente no Decreto-lei n°869/1969 que estabelece a EMC como disciplina obrigatória e em como deu-se o funcionamento da disciplina pós decreto. 

A análise histórica da regulação da Educação Moral e Cívica (EMC) no Brasil revela a interseção de fatores políticos, militares e educacionais que moldaram o currículo nacional durante o período da Ditadura Civil-Militar (1964-1985). A introdução da EMC como disciplina obrigatória nas escolas, a partir do Decreto-lei nº 869 de 1969, reflete a tentativa do regime militar de implementar um controle ideológico sobre a formação dos jovens brasileiros, preparando-os para um modelo de cidadania conformada, alinhada aos ideais de ordem, moralidade e progresso defendidos pelo regime.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE VARIOUS MICROCREDIT PROGRAMS OFFERED BY NGOS OF BANGLADESH: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Published: December 2024

This study offers a thorough analysis of microcredit initiatives run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh, a nation known across the world for being a leader in microfinance. This review’s main goal is to analyze the development, composition, and effects of several microcredit programs run by well-known NGOs including Grameen Bank, BRAC, and ASA, emphasizing their role in poverty alleviation, economic empowerment, and social development. This literature-based research explores the development, impact, and challenges of microcredit programs offered by major NGOs in Bangladesh. Through an extensive review of existing literature, including journal articles, NGO reports, and case studies, this research assesses key milestones, loan structures, target demographics, and the economic and social impacts of these microcredit programs on their beneficiaries. Key findings show that by making accessible financial resources that support entrepreneurial endeavors available, microcredit initiatives in Bangladesh have greatly improved the economic circumstances of low-income people, especially women. Additionally, by empowering underserved areas, expanding educational opportunities, and encouraging healthier lifestyle choices, these initiatives have had a significant social impact. Nonetheless, the development of NGO sector of Bangladesh is still shaped by obstacles including high borrowing rates, regulatory restrictions, and the requirement for technological integration. Although microcredit initiatives have been successful in Bangladesh, the article finds that in order to optimize long-term benefits and inclusion, sustainable development would necessitate ongoing innovation, enhanced financial literacy, and better regulatory frameworks. It also has been explored by the researchers that the number of microcredit programs offered are not enough for reducing the poverty of Bangladesh currently which needs to be increased.
Zdravie v budúcnosti zaťaží vaše peňaženky viac

Slovenské zdravotníctvo bude v najbližších dekádach výrazne ovplyvnené starnutím obyvateľstva. Ľudia sa už dnes dožadujú nových spôsobov liečby, ktoré však často prichádzajú s nezanedbateľnou cenovkou. Počet starých a teda viac chorých ľudí bude v budúcnosti len zvyšovať. Tento vývoj bude nutne spojený so stúpajúcimi výdavkami na zdravotníctvo.

Analýza vychádza z publikácie Európskej komisie (EK) Ageing report 2024. Je pokračovaním minuloročnej publikácie INESS, v ktorej sme analyzovali Ageing Report 2021.

Ageing report pre rok 2024 obsahuje sedem namodelovaných scenárov vývoja verejných výdavkov na zdravotnú starostlivosť. Predikcie sú namodelované až do roku 2070. V našom texte sme sa zamerali na prognózy pre roky 2030 (relatívne blízka budúcnosť) a 2070 (dlhodobá prognóza). Aktuálne slovenské demografické prognózy naznačujú, že starnutie Slovenska bude kulminovať v polovici 60. rokov tohto storočia.

Identifikovali sme niekoľko trendov a vzorcov.

Aj v roku 2030, aj v roku 2070 narastú slovenské verejné výdavky na zdravotníctvo vo všetkých 7 namodelovaných scenároch.

Zatiaľ čo v roku 2022 boli výdavky Slovenska na úrovni 5,7 % HDP, v roku 2030 sa už v závislosti od scenáru pohybujú medzi 6,1 a 6,8 % HDP a v roku 2070 medzi 6,2 a 8,6 % HDP.

Rast výdavkov na Slovenku sa tak podľa predikcií EK medzi rokmi 2022 a 2070 pohybuje medzi 9 % (Scenár zloženej indexácie pre jednotlivé sektory) a 49 % (Rizikový scenár).

Porovnanie s ostatnými krajinami ukazuje, že úvodná fáza starnutia bude mať na Slovensku výrazne intenzívnejší efekt na náklady na zdravotníctvo v porovnaní s priemerom EÚ.

Published: December 2024

El uso de herramientas tecnológicas dentro de las instituciones de educación superior cada vez es más indispensable, tanto así, que migrar a estos materiales pedagógicos se ha vuelto una necesidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer una base de datos que sirva como fundamento solido en la realización de un software académico para la materia Costos, Presupuestos y Programación de Obra del programa de Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander. La metodología utilizada se basa en desarrollar el mismo procedimiento realizado en las clases teóricas, estableciendo fundamentos lógicos para evitar todo tipo de reprocesos y generar una gestión adecuada en los diferentes recursos. Los resultados nos arrojan una base de datos bastante completa que permitirá crear, editar, y desarrollar presupuestos, así como su programación de obra. Este software servirá como herramienta útil para la academia y la comunidad estudiantil, con proyecciones futuras para incluirla en el campo profesional. Esta herramienta como se ha observado en otras investigaciones, tiene un gran potencial para incentivar a los alumnos en el aprendizaje humano autónomo, así como el desarrollo de clases más interesantes y dinámicas.

Published: December 2024

La investigación tiene como objetivo caracterizar la biodiversidad del Parque Natural Serranía de las Minas a partir del trabajo realizado en diferentes parches de bosque de roble blanco (Quercus humboldtii) con muestreo de grupos bioindicadores de aves, mariposas, edafofauna y algunas plantas asociadas al Quercus humboldtii. Para tal fin, se fundamenta en una investigación de tipo cuantitativo desde el método cuasiexperimental con carácter descriptivo que ha permitido conocer el estado del bosque y la prestación de los servicios ecosistémicos que ofrece. Así, la investigación contribuye con la elaboración de un listado de especies, familias y ordenes disponiendo información georreferenciada de la distribución de los organismos del bosque de roble y un material educativo que permita un acercamiento a la educación ecocientífica y el ecoturismo para promover acciones de conservación debido a las amenazas constantes hacia los ecosistemas y su biodiversidad.
