Authors: do Prado Alzirene Nogueira , Scharra Daniela Polonini Caetano , de Queiroz Kézia da Silva Marvila , Souza Renata Ferreira da Silva
Published: December 2024

This article aims to critically analyze the sustainability and innovation characteristics of Vitória, Espírito Santo, in comparison with Curitiba, Paraná, two Brazilian cities with different stages of sustainable urban development. The research, of a bibliographic nature, evaluates how Vitória can become a smart and sustainable city, identifying both the advances and the challenges faced. Curitiba is widely recognized for its innovative initiatives, such as the BRT transport system, recycling programs and the integration of green areas, which serve as an example for other cities. On the other hand, Vitória, although it has great potential, faces problems of urban mobility, waste management and disorderly expansion. The study reveals that, in order to get closer to Curitiba, Vitória needs investments in transport infrastructure, more effective waste management and the implementation of digital technologies that promote the efficiency of public services. In addition, the city must better exploit its natural resources, such as solar energy, and adopt urban planning that preserves green areas and ensures sustainable development. It is concluded that, with a coordinated effort and well-structured public policies, Vitória can become a model city in sustainability and innovation, improving the quality of life of its inhabitants and integrating social, economic and environmental needs.
GUT DYSBIOSIS AND GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Senft Charline Aline , Gonçalves Jamili , Werner Marina
Published: December 2024

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is manifested by symptoms such as tension, fatigue, and negative thoughts, and can be influenced by diet. Diets high in fat and low in vitamins B2, B6 and B9 can alter the gut microbiota, causing dysbiosis, which affects the gut-brain axis, a communication pathway between gut and brain. This dysbiosis increases intestinal permeability and inflammation, impacting mood and anxiety. Therefore, the objective of this study was to search the most recent literature for studies that correlate the gut microbiota with mental health. This is a descriptive and exploratory study, carried out through a systematic review with articles published between 2014 and 2024, found in databases such as PubMed, BVS, and Google Scholar. The research used the PICO strategy, using descriptors such as "Gut microbiota", "Dysbiosis" and "Anxiety", combined by Boolean operators. The studies highlight the complex relationship between gut microbiota and mental health, showing that probiotics can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, although the results are more consistent for anxiety. Probiotics modulate inflammation and regulate serotonin, which is essential for emotional well-being. Dysbiosis, associated with poor diet or stress, reduces serotonin and increases inflammatory cytokines, aggravating mental symptoms. The connection between microbiota, the immune system, and mental health offers new therapeutic approaches, but more research is needed to advance this field.

Authors: Felipe Letícia Oliveira
Published: December 2024

The chronic use of psychotropic drugs of the class: serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants and tricyclics, can generate oral alterations, the most common being xerostomia, halitosis, bruxism and periodontitis. Sertraline and fluoxetine stand out as the drugs most responsible for oral alterations. However, the main sign that triggers a series of oral manifestations is hyposalivation.

PERSONALITY RIGHTS AND THE INCLUSION OF PEOPLE WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT: CHALLENGES AND THE APPLICABILITY OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Ribeiro Daniela Menengoti Gonçalves , Katayama Leonora Cristina dos Santos
Published: December 2024

This article explores the inclusion of people with hearing impairments, analyzing the relationship between personality rights and the application of assistive technologies. Historical evolution demonstrates significant advances, from social exclusion in Antiquity to the recognition and protection of fundamental rights in the contemporary era. Assistive technologies, such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and transcription applications, play a crucial role in promoting autonomy and accessibility. However, obstacles such as high costs, lack of professional training, and social resistance still limit the full applicability of these technologies. Brazilian legislation, especially the Brazilian Law for the Inclusion of People with Disabilities, and the policies of the Unified Health System (SUS), are fundamental in promoting social inclusion and guaranteeing the rights of these people. The need for a continuous and collaborative effort between governments, health institutions, educators, and society is highlighted to ensure full citizenship and active participation of people with hearing impairments. This article concludes that the promotion of personality rights and the inclusion of assistive technologies are essential for a more just, inclusive, and accessible society.
BRIEF REVIEW OF CONCEPTS ENGINEERING OF HADFIELD STEEL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
Authors: Teixeira Ricardo Luiz Perez , Silva Priscilla Chantal Duarte , Pinto Junior Anibal Ferreira
Published: December 2024

Hadfield manganese austenitic steel, characterized by high strength and exceptional abrasion resistance, is widely employed in industries such as mining, cement, and railways. Its composition, typically 1–1.4 wt% carbon and 10–14 wt% manganese, ensures superior wear resistance and ductility under stress. The steel's remarkable work-hardening ability, attributed to dislocation accumulation and twinning, enhances its mechanical properties. However, challenges such as carbide precipitation at grain boundaries lead to embrittlement and reduced weldability, necessitating precise control during casting and heat treatment. Key methods such as solutionizing, rapid quenching, and heat treatment at temperatures ranging from 950°C to 1000°C are essential to dissolve carbides and improve mechanical properties. The steel’s machinability is hindered by its high strain-hardening capacity and low thermal conductivity, resulting in rapid tool wear. To address this, hot machining and advanced cutting tools, such as carbide and cubic boron nitride, are employed to improve performance. Despite these challenges, Hadfield steel remains the material of choice for wear applications due to its unique combination of toughness and work-hardening properties. Ongoing research aims to optimize its performance, particularly in high-abrasion and impact conditions. The integration of modern techniques like additive manufacturing and cryogenic treatments has been highlighted as potential solutions to further enhance its properties.

Clavicle fractures are relatively common injuries, accounting for 44% of shoulder girdle fractures and 2.6% of all fractures. They occur more frequently in active young men, especially those involved in high-impact activities. For this reason, this study aims to present the main surgical interventions used in clavicle shaft fractures. This is a literature review, which was carried out between June and July 2024, which used the SciELO database, in which the term “clavicle fracture” was searched, followed by subsequent analysis of articles published in the last 5 years, 6 articles were selected. It was observed that the Locking Plate was the main technique used in surgical interventions for clavicle shaft fractures. Despite this, there is still a great debate about the ideal approach for the treatment of these fractures. In general, patients undergoing the surgical approach presented good bone consolidation results and few complications after the procedure.
PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE IN EDUCATION: BETWEEN FRAGMENTATION AND COMPLEXITY
Authors: das Chagas José Soares
Published: December 2024

This article aims to critically analyze the fragmentation of scientific and human knowledge, often confined to school subjects and university departments, in light of the history of the relationship between philosophy and science. To this end, we use the Cartesian paradigm and the emergence of the complexity paradigm as a reference. We investigate, in particular, the pedagogical models derived from the Cartesian paradigm, with emphasis on the pedagogy of competencies and skills that, with the reform of secondary education promoted by Mendonça Filho, became the official guideline of the school curriculum in Brazil. In this context, we question to what extent this curricular and pedagogical change manages to overcome the Cartesian model and whether the roles attributed to philosophy and science in these legal documents contribute to the articulation of knowledge from a perspective of complex thinking.
CADMIUM REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATER: COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN ELECTROLYTIC AND MEMBRANE SEPARATION PROCESSES
Authors: Merçon Fabio , Mainier Fernando B.
Published: December 2024

In order to minimize the effects of pollution caused by toxic metals, environmental legislation in several countries around the world has become increasingly restrictive with regard to the emission of industrial waste. On the other hand, technological development has driven the creation of new processes and techniques that are extremely efficient in removing toxic metal contaminants from wastewater. In this literature review, several techniques for removing toxic metals such as cadmium are evaluated. The main objective of this work is to conduct a comparative laboratory study between electrolytic and membrane separation techniques (reverse osmosis) for the removal of cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) from wastewater. The electrolytic process, being simple and not requiring chemical additives, has the advantage of enabling the recovery of cadmium in its metallic form and in high concentrations present in wastewater. However, in low concentrations of Cd 2+ ions , the process is not efficient. Finally, it can be proposed that the two processes be used in a complementary manner. Initially, the electrolytic process is applied to remove the highest concentration of cadmium, followed by reverse osmosis to reach values ​​acceptable under environmental legislation.
HEDONIC, EUDONIC AND MAKARISTIC HAPPINESS: DIALOGUE BETWEEN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY AND POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: de Sousa Ágabo Borges
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes to raise a discussion about the concepts of happiness in Positive Psychology based on the understandings of happiness in ancient philosophy, considering Cyrenaic hedonism, Aristotelian eudaimonia, Nicomachean Ethics and Epicurus' Makaristics. By presenting the three philosophical concepts, it is understood that the Makaristic understanding of happiness has been neglected in Positive Psychology, and can be included in the psychological construct to enrich the proposal of happiness.
Maternal Mortality in Tertiary Health Facilities in Edo State, Southern Nigeria
Authors: John-Abebe Rebecca
Published: December 2024

Nigeria ranks high in maternal mortality among developing countries despite the effort to reduce it. This paper is based on a ten-year study from 2008 to 2017 on maternal mortality from two public healthcare facilities in Edo State that have the most referrals. A facility-based survey design was used to determine the maternal mortality ratio, level of obstetric utilisation (booked and un-booked patients), number of caesarean sections, and causes of maternal deaths. Information on maternal deaths was collected from the University of Benin Teaching Hospital and the Central Hospital. The number of maternal deaths was 350 with 54,124 live births; and the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) was 674 per 100,000 live births during this ten-year review. The findings show an increase of 11,780 caesarean sections among pregnant women during the delivery period. The major direct causes of maternal death were eclampsia and haemorrhage, while the indirect causes were HIV/AIDS, and other complications. The high number of pregnant women with no antenatal registration (un-booked) in these facilities depicts delays in receiving effective maternal healthcare services. The need arises for early registration and basic/comprehensive emergency obstetric care (EMOC) at all tiers of health facilities, which will decrease the risk of mortality and morbidity. The study recommends that to prevent delays in offering maternal healthcare services, there should be effective EMOCs at all healthcare facilities, and there is a need to encourage early antenatal registration that could reduce caesarean sections at health facilities for most pregnant women.

Authors: Nascimento Rafael Isaque Lira do , Júnior José Ferreira Lima
Published: December 2024

Introdução: Sífilis congênita é um agravo de notificação compulsória de relevância no cenário brasileiro e mundial. Tal agravo representa risco de abortamento, óbito intrauterino e natimortalidade, devendo ser rastreado de forma ativa em nível de Atenção Primária à Saúde e tratado de forma eficaz a partir do diagnóstico. Objetivo: O presente estudo objetivou analisar a incidência da sífilis congênita na Paraíba, entre 2018 e 2022, bem como investigar variações da incidência entre as três Macrorregiões de Saúde e identificar o perfil sociodemográfico dos casos confirmados. Método: Tratou-se de um estudo ecológico, retrospectivo, observacional, de base populacional e de abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram obtidos a partir do Sistema de Informações de Agravos (SINAN) e do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), a partir da base de dados da plataforma do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Resultados: Observou-se, no estado, que a incidência por 1.000 nascidos vivos variou entre 6,28 e 7,78. Na Macrorregião do Sertão / Alto Sertão, a incidência média foi de 3,7 casos por 1.000 nascidos vivos, sendo uma incidência mais baixa que no estado, enquanto as maiores Macrorregiões de Saúde apresentaram incidência mais elevada, 8,12 na Macrorregião de João Pessoa e 7,16 na de Campina Grande. A incidência foi elevada nos municípios de João Pessoa, Campina Grande e Patos, 17,59; 17,4 e 17,27, respectivamente, o que pode refletir uma maior capacidade na identificação dos casos nos municípios sede das Macrorregiões de Saúde, mas evidencia um cenário desafiador em se tratando de esforços para eliminação do agravo. Quanto ao perfil sociodemográfico, a maior parte dos casos (33,23%) ocorreu em mulheres com idade entre 20 e 24 anos, com ensino fundamental incompleto (24,48%) e o caso classificado como sífilis congênita precoce, com diagnóstico antes dos dois anos de idade da criança (91,72%). A maior parte das genitoras que transmitiram sífilis para o feto ou para o bebê realizou pré-natal, mas não foi realizado tratamento do parceiro sexual. Conclusão: Logo, os achados do estudo estão de acordo com aqueles da literatura científica. Destaca-se que mais esforços são necessários para arrefecer a incidência da sífilis congênita e futuramente cogitar sua superação e eliminação.

Bireylerin yaşadıkları ruhsal problemleri, kişisel süreçler olmaktan çıkarıp bir ilişki sistemi içerisinde değerlendirmeye odaklanan aile terapilerinin, 1950’li yıllarda ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. Zaman içerisinde farklı aile terapisi kuramla- rının yanında, eşler arasındaki ilişki problemlerine odaklanan daha özelleşmiş bir alan olarak çift terapisi yaklaşımları gelişmeye başlamıştır. Günümüzde, insanların psikoterapi desteğine en çok ihtiyaç duyduğu konuların başında yakın ilişki problemleri gelmektedir. Yakın ilişki problemleri ile ilgili yürütülen psikoterapi çalışmalarının önemli bir kısmının da çift terapisi uygulamaları şeklinde sürdürüldüğü görülmektedir. Psikodinamik temelli bütüncül çift terapisi yaklaşımı, farklı kuramların (psikodinamik terapiler, sistemik çift terapisi, duygu odaklı çift terapisi, imago çift terapisi, bilişsel davranışçı çift terapisi) teorik bilgisini ve terapi sürecindeki uygulamalarını, çok sistemli bir perspektifte bütünleştir- meye odaklanan bir girişim olarak görülebilir. Bu çalışmada literatür taraması yapılmış, farklı çift terapisi kuramları çok sistemli ve döngüsel bir yapı içerisinde bir araya getirilmiş, diyagram halinde ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışmanın, çiftlerin yakın ilişki problemlerini değerlendirme, terapi süreci planlama, müdahale alanlarının belirleme, ilişkisel değişimi ve dönüşümü sağlama konusunda çift terapisi uygulayıcılarına katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Angelita Evelyn Andriana , Soeling Pantius Drahen
Published: December 2024

In an era of increasingly fierce competition, leaders in corporate organizations are required to empower their employees to be more effective and efficient. Leader empowerment can increase employee autonomy, motivation, and job satisfaction, which ultimately affects turnover intention. This study aims to analyze the impact of leader empowerment on turnover intention in corporate organizations through a meta-analysis approach of five related articles. The method used in this research is meta-analysis, which collects, analyzes, and synthesizes the results of various empirical studies on leadership empowerment and turnover intention. Relevant literature was selected based on certain criteria to ensure the validity and relevance of the data. The results show that leadership empowerment has a positive and negative influence on turnover intention. On the one hand, leadership empowerment can reduce turnover intention by increasing employee motivation and engagement. On the other hand, increasing employees' capabilities may encourage them to seek opportunities in other companies. This finding emphasizes the importance of leaders in understanding the behaviours and expectations of their subordinates and their involvement in decision-making. Overall, leadershipempowerment plays an important role in turnover intention in organizations. To minimize turnover intention, leaders need to implement strategies that empower employees while considering the complexity of diverse organizational contexts. This effort is expected to create a more stable and productive work environment.

Specifically, we focused on the School Academic Area (SAA), School Administrative Area (SADA), School Farm Area (SFMA), Students Hostel Area (SSHA), and Staff Quarters Area (SSQA). The detected radionuclide levels were compared to global acceptable limits established by the IAEA and UNSCEAR. Using a Na (Tl) detector, we examined the activity content of these elements in the soil samples. The mean average specific activities for 40K, 226Ra, and 232Th were determined to be (390.0861 ± 6.0420) Bq/kg, (22.6847 ± 2.337) Bq/kg, and (30.2855 ± 3.4990) Bq/kg, respectively. Comparison of these values with worldwide averages (40K=412 Bq/kg, 226Ra=35 Bq/kg, and 232Th=45 Bq/kg) established by the IAEA, UNSCEAR, and ICRP, as well as other global studies, indicates that both students and staff at the Federal College of Education Technical Gusau, Zamfara State, are safe from radiation hazards and can continue their studies and work without concern.

Authors: Usman Halima , Obafemi Omoniyi Raymondjoy
Published: December 2024

Enhancing transportation is critical to urban development, particularly in rapidly growing regions like Sokoto State in Nigeria. The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a widely researched optimization problem that seeks to find the most efficient routes for a fleet of vehicles to service a set of customers or locations, minimizing travel costs and time. This paper explores how Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) optimization can address transportation challenges in the Sokoto metropolis by designing efficient routes for vehicle fleets. The study incorporates extensive data collection, including geospatial data on road networks, traffic patterns, population density, analysis, VRP model creation, optimization, and key points of interest, to customize VRP solutions to the unique characteristics of Sokoto. Results indicate significant potential for VRP optimization to reduce travel distances, lower operational costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.

The First Years of DNA Sequencing
Authors: Arslan Mevlüt
Published: December 2024

We were able to sequence DNA molecules a 100 years later, after its discovery. Wu was the first scientist to report DNA sequencing in 1968. In 1970, we learned the first eight-base sequence of lambda DNA from Wu’s studies, which were based on synthesis by DNA polymerase to be sequenced DNA. In 1971, a four-base sequence was added also, and we learned a twelve-base sequence in total. In the same year, Englund reported a direct DNA sequencing method that allowed in vivo DNA to be sequenced directly without synthesis. After 1971, DNA sequencing studies have developed in two ways: sequencing by synthesis and direct sequencing. Sanger reported the first DNA sequencing study in 1973, when Wu introduced the primer-extension method to sequence-specific DNA regions. Although Wu’s and other scientists’ studies were very valuable, the techniques were difficult. Sanger’s methods described in 1973 and 1975 were also difficult. Practical methods were highly demanded. In 1977, Sanger introduced a more practical chain termination method, also known as the “dideoxy method,” which was related to sequencing by synthesis. Direct sequencing of in vivo DNA was highly desired. In the rout, Maxam-Gilberts introduced the chemical-cleavage method in 1977. Seven years after the first DNA sequencing, DNA sequencing methods reached a significant milestone.
Perspective Chapter: The Growing Importance of Bio-Attributed Products in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Authors: Krkljuš Ivana , Saling Peter , Krüger Christian
Published: December 2024

Renewable raw materials, as regenerative biobased feedstock for chemicals, have an enormous potential for reducing feedstock-related greenhouse gas emissions. Dedicated to driving the growth of bioeconomy, we continuously explore and develop building blocks for turning the bioeconomy ambition into a reality. Bio-based products are already available in the market but are limited in growth due to lack of technologies and product development costs. Alternatively, scale-up and utilization of biobased feedstocks, leveraging existing infrastructure, requires utilization of different chain-of-custody models. That is how a growing need for bio-attributed products, which provide the same quality and performance of their conventional equivalent and a proven benefit determined by the reduction of the Product Carbon Footprint in cradle-to-gate assessments, can be fulfilled. Ranging from a discussion around collaboration to drive sustainability in the chemical industry, towards current and future policy asks, we discuss about the opportunities of using different types of feedstocks and how we can accelerate industry transformation strategies by using attribution models, model biogenic CO2-uptake in a meaningful, fair, and transparent way, based on accepted and harmonized standards, such as global ISO standards. We provide reference points and statistics and address the latest and the most important bioeconomy-related aspects of bio-attribution as science is evolving.
Perspective Chapter: Oil Palm Plantations Can Offset Carbon Loss and Improve Livelihoods of Rural Communities in Africa
Authors: L. Woomer Paul , Bokanga Mpoko
Published: December 2024

The oil palm is endogenous to the humid tropical belt of West and Central Africa. Its cultivation was greatly expanded in Southeast Asia, and today, it accounts for 85% of commercially planted oil palm in the world. Oil palm plantations in Africa could become eligible for accrued carbon credits under some strict conditions and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals in Africa. Plantations must not be recently carved from humid forests nor established on peat soils, as the comparative long-term carbon stocks remain unfavorable. However, longstanding plantations or those established on mineral soils of grassland and degraded cropland offer a strong potential to accumulate system carbon over decades. The upper limits of this accrual are manageable and reliable methods to monitor system carbon gains are available. Carbon emissions may also be reduced through improved management of the plantations’ palm oil mills, and through conversion of waste plantation biomass to biochar products. The revenues generated from plantation carbon offset payments should be directed toward improving the livelihoods of rural communities established around the plantations and toward the protection of adjacent natural wildlife habitats. An example of how plantations in DR Congo could qualify for and implement a carbon credit program is provided.
