Published: January 2025

War flaming constitutes one of the perilous practices prevalent on social media platforms. This might result in discomfort associated with social media usage, leading to melancholy, anxiety, excessive worry, and disturbances in mental health. War Flaming has become a prominent issue that necessitates enhancing digital literacy on social media platforms. This study employed a qualitative methodology, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Informants were selected using standard case sampling. The selected informants include the Directorate of IKP from the Ministry of Communication and Information of the Republic of Indonesia, SiBerkreasi, digital technology and culture experts, and specialists in social campaigns. The findings indicated that digital literacy building aimed at mitigating war flaming on social media involved creating innovative social campaigns through pertinent language and a human-centric literacy approach. This strategy seeks to engage Generation Z, empowering youth communities as proactive advocates against hoax narratives on social media. It emphasizes collaboration among governmental entities, community leaders, and journalists within the anti-war flaming educational initiative, alongside the optimization of TikTok and Instagram for disseminating positive content, and partnerships with young influencers to promote the significance of digital reputation. Creative digital literacy, facilitated by social campaigns and multisectoral cooperation, effectively mitigates war flaming on social media, enhances Gen Z awareness, and promotes mental health through affirmative material.

Los resultados revelan la necesidad de implementar prácticas pedagógicas que promuevan el desarrollo de comprensiones profundas en los educandos, la reflexión, el pensamiento crítico, el aprendizaje autónomo, el trabajo cooperativo y una mayor valoración del papel de los estudiantes en el proceso educativo. Por lo tanto, se espera que la aplicación de la Enseñanza para la Comprensión potencie las acciones pedagógicas y estrategias didácticas acordes con los interese y las necesidades de los estudiantes.
UNIVERSITY DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT: NEW FRACTURES, OLD WOUNDS
Authors: CALBINO DANIEL , NERY DANIELA ALVARES
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT: In recent years, university democracy has joined the agenda of national debates, in view of successive interventions in the electoral systems of federal institutions of higher education. It is estimated that 45% of federal universities suffered some type of interference in the choice of deans, in addition to legal changes in their decision-making processes. In this scenario, marked by the weakening of democratic principles, the present paper sought to analyze the impacts of federal interference, in the democratic management practices of federal universities, between the years 2018 and 2022. As a methodological approach, the unit of analysis focused on 11 universities in minas gerais, complemented by document research and questionnaires with 167 members of university councils. The results showed that the interventions, via provisional measures and technical notes, revoked institutionalized democratic practices, such as parity in internal voting at universities. On the other hand, even though the majority of university counselors refuted federal discretion in choosing deans, discourses of faculty supremacy emerged when agreeing with the changes that reduced the participation of students and administrative technicians in electoral processes. The conclusions point to the need to debate the limits of recent interference, as well as the internal contradictions that historically cross university practices, in the search for more democratic paths.
NUCLEAR COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTION AS TEACHING STRATEGY FOR GERMAN MODAL PARTICLES: RELEVANCE OF THE MINIMALIST APPROACH
Authors: AQUINO MARCELI
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT: This work aims to introduce a proposal for teaching and learning German Modal Particles (MP) through their nuclear communicative functions. By having a highly structured internal paradigmatic organization, the minimalist approach considers each particle as having a specific communicative function, wherein their pragmatic meaning must be retrieved both by the recognition of their nuclear function, as well as by the interpretation of the communicative situation (AQUINO, 2023; DIEWALD, et al. 2017). Despite being of great importance for everyday interaction in German, MPs are rarely properly addressed in the context of German as an additional language (GAL) (AQUINO, 2020). In light of the experience in an extension course with teachers of GAL in Brazil, we argue that the description of the nuclear functions of MPs represents an innovative, objective and reliable tool for teaching of these modal elements in beginners to more advanced groups of students. As a didactic proposal we present: (i) a descriptive table with the nuclear functions of 15 MPs; (ii) a practical application of teaching MPs through their nuclear functions within authentic uses of doch and ja. Considering the gap of suitable didactic materials for teaching MPs, this proposal represents a significant contribution for GAL.
TRÊS MUSEUS BRASILEIROS E O ATENDIMENTO ÀS ESCOLAS (1890-1934): PEDAGOGIUM, MUSEU DO IPIRANGA, MUSEU NACIONAL
Authors: BRAGHINI KATYA , SILVA CAMILA MARCHI DA , PIÑAS RAQUEL QUIRINO
Published: January 2025

RESUMO: Em diferentes definições sobre museu, ao longo do tempo, é possível constatar a sua função educadora, mesmo porque o ato de expor coleções tem intrínseca a intencionalidade de educar os seus visitantes. Este artigo pretende problematizar este caráter histórico-educativo dos museus de modo a evidenciar diferentes formas de relacionamento entre o museu e a escola, cujas configurações são historicamente postas em debate e, não raro, apresentam conflitos. Foi privilegiado o estudo do atendimento ao público escolar, no final do século XIX e início do século XX, em três instituições símbolos do período de expansionismo dos museus no Brasil: o Pedagogium (RJ), o Museu do Ipiranga (SP), o Museu Nacional (RJ). A pesquisa apresenta a relação entre o museu e a escola privilegiando o campo da história da educação e está amparada em estudos teóricos e ampla análise crítica dos documentos tais como: legislações pertinentes à área educacional, documentos normativos referentes aos museus, revistas científicas e de divulgação produzidas pelas próprias instituições, relatórios, requerimentos, cartas, catálogos científicos, entre outros. Viu-se que as instituições possuem práticas de atendimento ao público escolar, alinhando-se às determinações educativas e aos preceitos pedagógicos inovadores em cada um dos contextos. Também é possível apontar os limites e as práticas dos responsáveis, mediante a sua função científica ou frente aos desafios simbólicos e políticos específicos a cada uma das instituições estudadas.
Return to Sender: Geisel, Carter, and the US-Brazil Diplomatic Confrontation over Human Rights
Authors: RORIZ JOÃO , LOUREIRO FELIPE
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT This article delves into the US-Brazil diplomatic sparring over human rights in the late 1970s. While recent literature highlights the significant results of the Carter administration’s placement of human rights at the forefront of its relations with Latin America, we adopt a more nuanced approach. Drawing from confidential official documents recently released by US and Brazilian archives, we focus on key US-Brazilian diplomatic summits held during the Geisel and Carter administrations between 1977 and 1978. These summits reveal the rise and fall of human rights pressures exerted by Washington on Brazil through private diplomacy, even as Washington’s public diplomacy continued to emphasize the importance of human rights in US foreign policy. Additionally, we demonstrate that despite these public and private pressures from the United States, the Brazilian dictatorship’s foreign policy regarding human rights endured, which, in practice, resulted in limitations or total obstruction of foreign oversight concerning rights in Brazil.
Um correio “o mais breve e econômico que for possível”: A implantação das redes postais na América Portuguesa (1796-1807)
Authors: VALLE SALVINO ROMULO
Published: January 2025

RESUMO Em 1798, Portugal implantou as primeiras linhas postais regulares em seus domínios americanos, dando forma a uma rede organizada em torno de dois polos, Belém e Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo era criar as conexões mais rápidas possíveis para atender a administração e o comércio, em um movimento de territorialização e de ordenamento temporal do espaço, de maneira economicamente autossustentável e lucrativa. Para tanto, os governos locais adaptaram as determinações régias às suas realidades, em um processo analisado neste artigo com base em fontes de várias instituições, como Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino, Arquivo Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro e Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo. Entre as conclusões, observam-se: a) a baixa capilaridade da rede, voltada principalmente para o atendimento às sedes de capitania; b) a dificuldade de rentabilização dos percursos terrestres e, principalmente, dos fluviais; c) a falta de conexão entre as capitanias do Norte e as do Sudeste e Sul, apesar de Goiás e Mato Grosso se ligarem a ambos os blocos; d) o predomínio do Rio de Janeiro nas ligações com o Centro-Oeste, ainda que o Pará almejasse dominar o circuito.
A ilha desaparecida Vulcanismo nas páginas dos jornais fluminenses
Authors: CORREIA LIMA DE ALMEIDA ANITA
Published: January 2025

RESUMO Em meados de 1831, Ferdinandea, como foi batizada pelos sicilianos, surgiu no Mar Mediterrâneo, entre a Sicília e a Tunísia. Em junho, terremotos foram sentidos na região e, no começo de julho, pescadores observaram estranha mortandade de peixes no mar e outros sinais incomuns. Em algum momento adiante, a ilha vulcânica emergiu das águas. Pelos cinco meses seguintes, o fenômeno atrairá a atenção do mundo. O novo espaço de terra, situado num ponto estratégico para a navegação, será rapidamente reivindicado tanto pelos britânicos como pelo reino das Duas Sicílias, e ainda despertará o interesse dos franceses. No entanto, enquanto expedições científicas eram enviadas ao local e as disputas prosseguiam, a ilha desapareceu. O frágil material vulcânico de que era formada tinha sido vítima da erosão marinha e, no final daquele ano, já não havia mais nada para ser visto acima do nível do mar. O artigo busca examinar como as notícias sobre o breve surgimento da ilha – que a imprensa ajudou a transformar num evento espetacular – alcançaram as páginas dos jornais no Rio de Janeiro oitocentista.
A corrupção nos tribunais carolíngios a partir do Contra Iudices de Teodulfo de Orleães (Gália, final do século VIII). Um problema estritamente moral?
Authors: SILVA THIAGO RIBEIRO DA
Published: January 2025

RESUMO A partir do Contra Iudices, poema composto por Teodulfo de Orleães no fim do século VIII, este texto se propõe a: i) mapear as práticas consideradas corruptas denunciadas por Teodulfo, levando em consideração também os sujeitos envolvidos, uma vez que falamos de corruptores e corrompidos; ii) levantar o vocabulário empregado para descrever esta corrupção; e iii) tendo em mente questões de autoria, gênero documental e público-alvo, levantar hipóteses dos motivos que levaram Teodulfo a redigir seu poema naquele momento. Parece-me que somente a associação dos valores cristãos à ação dos agentes públicos, como apontada por parte da historiografia, é insuficiente para descrever a preocupação do bispo de Orleães com a correta aplicação da justiça. É possível imaginar que a condenação da corrupção, pelos argumentos trazidos pelo poema, desdobra-se também em outras questões, como a econômica e a política.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the productive and reproductive performance of lambs submitted to different forms of feed supplementation in the growth phase and breeding season. Twenty-eight Texel sheep aged between three and 12 months were used. The lambs were distributed in two treatments with protein-energy supplementation at levels 1.6 and 2.4% of body weight and reared on Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. The performance was evaluated at the beginning of the experimental period and every 28 days until the end of the breeding season, the following data were observed: final body weight, average daily gain (ADG) and total weight gain (TWG). In the growth period, the lambs supplemented with 2.4% BW presented higher average daily gain, which resulted in higher total weight gain and final weight. Thus, the ewe lambs supplemented with 2.4% BW showed greater subcutaneous fat thickness in the growth phase. However, during growth the lambs supplemented with 1.6% of BW showed better body condition score than those supplemented with 2.4% BW. There was no effect of supplementation on the size of the reproductive organs of the lambs at the end of the growth phase and at the beginning of the reproductive season. The supplementation levels used affected the pregnancy rate of the lambs. The group that received 1.6% BW had a higher pregnancy rate than the group treated with 2.4% BW. Thus, it is concluded that supplementation with 1.6% BW was economically viable to promote weight gain, body condition score, and stimulate fertility rate for primiparous lambs in a 45-day reproductive season.

ABSTRACT The study aimed to investigate the influence of different microalgae used in green water culture on the survival rate, performance and fatty acids profile of H. reidi larvae. The study consisted of four treatments composed of two microalgae (Tisochrysis lutea - ISO and Chaetoceros muelleri-CHO), used alone (TISO and TCHO) or combined (TIC, 1:1) in the culture water, and a treatment without microalgae (TWM) during the first 15 days of culture. The larvae were fed from the first to the seventh day with copepods (Parvocalanus crassirrostris) and rotifers (Brachionus rotundiformis), and from the eighth day onwards, the gradual inclusion of Artemia sp. nauplii. No differences in the survival rates were observed. The addition of specifically T. lutea in the TISO and TIC treatments affected weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and the condition factor, of the larvae compared to TWM. A higher concentration of (PUFA), DHA, ∑ n-3, n-3/n-6 ratio were found in TISO larvae after 15 days of rearing. In conclusion, the addition of microalgae T. lutea proved to be an advantageous alternative in a large-scale production system, since its inclusion affected the performance and the lipid composition of the larvae compared to the TWM.
Plate rod in humerus fracture in Caracara plancus: Challenges and outcomes of a case
Authors: Leitão J.R. , Rosado I.R. , Menezes T.T.P. , Lopes M.G. , Alves E.G.L.
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT The aim of this case study was to apply a robust fixation method using the plate rod technique, which combines intramedullary pins with bone plates to provide rigid stabilization. Although commonly used in mammals, this technique has not yet been documented in avian medicine. The surgery involved detailed pre-operative evaluations and meticulous surgical planning, reflecting standards used in small animal orthopedics, to ensure that the implants were well-suited to the unique anatomical needs of the bird. In the post-operative phase, the bird was closely monitored, with follow-up radiographs showing successful implant alignment and advanced bone healing without any signs of infection. The outcome was positive, with the bird regaining full wing functionality and being released back into the wild after recovery at a wildlife rehabilitation center. This case highlights the effectiveness of the plate rod technique in managing complex fractures in avian patients, emphasizing its potential as a valuable option for similar cases, particularly in large and wild birds. The successful application and outcome of this approach provide a significant contribution to veterinary orthopedics, expanding potential methodologies for fracture treatment in avian species.
2,4-D and glyphosate drift interfere with the growth and initial development of rubber trees

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT The herbicides glyphosate and 2,4-D are widely used to control weeds in various crops. The rubber tree crop is exposed to these molecules, which can interfere with its establishment. This study aimed to assess the effects caused by the drift of glyphosate, 2,4-D, and the combination of both, in different proportions corresponding to 0, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64% of the recommended dose (1,440 and 804 g a·e·ha-1 of glyphosate and 2,4-D, respectively). The characteristic symptoms when 2,4-D was present in the drift began with wilting and shriveling of young leaves and, at the highest doses, quickly progressed to chlorosis, shoot epinasty, and edge necrosis, while mature leaves showed a brown color, culminating in a high rate of fall. The effects of glyphosate were intensified after leaf flushing, which occurred 120 days after its application and resulted in long, narrow, twisted leaves in a spiral shape and deformed shoots. Drift above 32% from the combination of glyphosate and 2,4-D resulted in a high mortality rate, while 16% damaged growth and resulted in the death of some plants. The results indicate that drift from the combination of glyphosate and 2,4-D intensifies the symptoms of phytotoxicity in rubber trees, with drift above 8% being harmful. For the herbicides applied alone, there was full recovery of the plants in the drift of up to 16%, so it is important to avoid the drift of these herbicides in the management of weeds in the rubber tree crop.
Entre habitus e dépaysement: uma perspectiva decolonial sobre a favela carioca da Catacumba
Authors: SANT’ANNA ANDERSON DE SOUZA
Published: January 2025

Resumo Este artigo explora a aplicação dos conceitos de habitus e dépaysement de Bourdieu na Favela da Catacumba, no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, com base nas pesquisas de Janice Perlman. Ele examina também a influência de várias estratégias - como estereotipagem, mitificação, cooptação, erradicação, desencantamento e coerção - nas estruturas tradicionais de moradia, agregação social e socialização dentro da favela. Além disso, o estudo amplia seu foco para extrair lições e insights potenciais dessas dinâmicas observadas, especialmente para populações marginalizadas que vivem na periferia global. Em resumo, o estudo revisita a pesquisa seminal de Perlman sobre favelas, por meio da estrutura teórica de Bourdieu, para descobrir as raízes históricas das dinâmicas sociais atuais e sua relevância para a compreensão de práticas decoloniais em contextos urbanos contemporâneos. Os resultados oferecem contribuições valiosas para a compreensão dos impactos disruptivos das estruturas sociais e enfatizam a importância de abordar essas questões tanto em estratégias organizacionais quanto em políticas públicas. Ao revisitar a experiência da Catacumba, o estudo também lança luz sobre o desenvolvimento de líderes locais e a mobilização de formas distintas de capital dentro dessas comunidades marginalizadas. Além disso, faz uma contribuição significativa para os estudos decoloniais ao examinar processos de colonização históricos e contemporâneos e formas de resistência nas de comunidades marginalizadas. Ao expor e desafiar os legados coloniais duradouros que continuam a moldar a vida das populações marginalizadas, oferece insights sobre como essas comunidades resistem e navegam por tais legados, contribuindo para o discurso mais amplo sobre decolonização e rejeição das estruturas coloniais.
Between habitus and dépaysement: a decolonial perspective on Rio de Janeiro Catacumba favela
Authors: SANT’ANNA ANDERSON DE SOUZA
Published: January 2025

Abstract This article explores the application of Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and dépaysement within the Catacumba favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, drawing insights from Janice Perlman’s research. It examines the influence of various strategies - such as stereotyping, mythification, cooptation, uprooting, disenchantment, and coercion - on the traditional structures of housing, social aggregation, and socialization within the favela. Moreover, the study extends its focus to extract potential lessons and insights from these observed dynamics, particularly for marginalized populations living in the global periphery. Briefly, the study revisits Perlman’s seminal research on favelas through Bourdieu’s theoretical framework to uncover the historical roots of current social dynamics and their relevance for understanding decolonial practices in contemporary urban contexts. The findings offer valuable contributions to understanding the disruptive impacts of social structures and emphasize the importance of addressing these issues in both organizational strategies and public policies. By revisiting the Catacumba experience, the study also sheds light on the development of local leaders and the mobilization of distinctive forms of capital within these marginalized communities. Furthermore, it makes a significant contribution to decolonial studies by examining historical and contemporary colonization processes and forms of resistance within marginalized communities. By exposing and challenging the enduring colonial legacies that continue to shape the lives of marginalized populations, it offers insights into how these communities resist and navigate such legacies, contributing to the broader discourse on decolonization and the rejection of colonial structures.
Becoming an entrepreneur in the Metropole: resisting incubators’ recolonizing attempts
Authors: Lemaire Severine Le Loarne , Haddad Gloria , Ali Rola Al , Bertrand Gaël
Published: January 2025

Abstract This study investigates the decolonization process among nascent entrepreneurs from formerly colonized nations, operating within underprivileged areas of developed countries. Through a two-year ethnographic inquiry involving entrepreneurs from former French African Colonies and Departments conducting business in the Metropole, the paper recounts their journey from being subject to attempts at recolonization to achieving decolonization. Using colonialist theory and the approach of entrepreneurship as a practice, it explores how entrepreneurs resisted efforts by incubators to impose colonial ideologies, ultimately embracing their own entrepreneurial practices. Three distinct decolonization processes emerge from this analysis. This paper contributes to colonialist theory in three key ways. Firstly, it proposes a methodological framework for identifying signs of colonialism and decolonization through the observation of entrepreneurial practices. Secondly, it extends the applicability of colonialist theory beyond traditional Global South contexts, demonstrating its relevance within immigrant communities from former colonies. Lastly, it clarifies the concept of decolonization, emphasizing the adoption of entrepreneurial practices reflective of individual choice and agency rather than mere rejection of colonialist norms.
From the (re)production of knowledge to the management practice of marketing in Brazil: is it possible to decolonize marketing?
Authors: BATISTA KAREN
Published: January 2025

Abstract This article discusses, from a decolonial perspective, how marketing knowledge is produced and reproduced in Brazil. It sought to demonstrate the historical aspects that influenced the export of marketing from the United States to Brazil as a product whose function was to disseminate neoliberal ideology in a historical period marked by the dispute for world hegemony: the Cold War. Based on the reflections made, it was possible to conclude that, even after so many decades, marketing has still not detached itself from the ideologies that formed it, and, to this day, the mainstream ignores the political and social issues that influence both its management practice and academia. Some directions for future research are presented, with the aim of decolonizing marketing knowledge. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the emancipation of the field so that knowledge can free itself from the ideological ties produced by the process of epistemic colonization.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To highlight the importance of early recognition of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) in cases of cutaneous hypochromia in children, with a view to an effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Case description: Two cases of HMF in children are reported. The first case involves an eight-year-old boy with hypochromic macules on the trunk and root of the upper and lower limbs, while the second case is a six-year-old boy with widespread hypochromic patches. Both patients presented with prolonged evolution of hypopigmentation, leading to the suspicion of HMF after excluding other differential diagnoses. Histopathological and immunohistochemical tests were fundamental in confirming the diagnosis of HMF. Comments: HMF is a less prevalent and less publicized form of mycosis fungoides and is more common in children and people with a high phototype. Its diagnosis is challenging and often requires multiple biopsies for confirmation. Treatment includes phototherapy and immunosuppressive therapy, depending on the patient’s age and extent of lesions. Early recognition of HMF is crucial for proper management and to avoid complications associated with malignant evolution.

Resumo Introdução O surgimento da pandemia de COVID-19 intensificou desafios relacionados à atenção em saúde. A portaria do Ministério da Saúde n. 467, de 2 de março de 2020, dispõe, em caráter excepcional e temporário, sobre as ações de telemedicina, com o objetivo de regulamentar e operacionalizar as medidas de enfrentamento da emergência de saúde pública. Objetivo Conhecer como se deu o processo de trabalho dos terapeutas ocupacionais de Alagoas, Brasil, durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Método Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, realizado com terapeutas ocupacionais do estado de Alagoas (Brasil) que realizaram teleatendimento e telemonitoramento, durante a pandemia de COVID-19. A amostra foi por conveniência, os participantes da pesquisa foram convidados a participar deste estudo a partir de contato realizado em grupos de mensagens, e-mails e busca ativa. A coleta de dados aconteceu por meio de um questionário on-line que buscou compreender o processo de trabalho dos terapeutas ocupacionais. Resultados O estudo contou com 35 terapeutas ocupacionais que realizaram teleatendimento/telemonitoramento ao público de todas as idades, por meio de atendimentos semanais, com duração de dez a trinta minutos. A manutenção do vínculo, o engajamento familiar e a aproximação com o contexto do paciente foram pontos positivos, enquanto a dificuldade foi o acesso à internet de qualidade. Conclusão Este tipo de atendimento tem sido considerado no período pós-pandemia, destacando-se como uma estratégia complementar aos acompanhamentos presenciais. São necessários novos estudos sobre a temática e investigações com os pacientes/usuários, para compreender outros questionamentos que esta pesquisa não conseguiu responder.
Size effect on the flexural behavior of UHPFRC beams and RC beams strengthened with UHPFRC
Authors: Barbosa Felipe Augusto da Silva , Serafini Ramoel , Figueiredo Antonio Domingues de , Bitencourt Júnior Luís Antônio Guimarães
Published: January 2025

Abstract The presence of fibers in Ultra-High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) considerably affects the mechanical behavior of structural elements constructed from this material. While the flexural strength of traditional reinforced concrete beams is size-independent, this is not the case for UHPFRC. A numerical procedure based on cross-section equilibrium and compatibility is proposed here to parametrically investigate this size effect in both reinforced concrete beams strengthened with UHPFRC and pure UHPFRC beams. The flexural capacities computed using the numerical method agreed with those obtained experimentally from 14 experimental programs, with an average numerical-experimental ratio of 1.09 and a correlational coefficient of 0.94. Regarding the strengthened beams, the maximum flexural stresses were computed for three different strengthening layouts, considering heights from 100 to 2000 mm. As regards pure UHPFRC beams, the flexural strengths were computed for the same range of heights considering different fiber-volume ratios, as well as fiber lengths. The results show that three-side jacket beams are the most sensitive to the size effect, increasing the flexural strength of small members up to 697%. The beams strengthened on the compressive zone are the least sensitive, with an increase of 31% for the majority of beams. For pure UHPFRC beams, the results indicate that high fiber contents, such as 4%, led to a pronounced size effect, with increases in flexural strength of up to 1052% for the smallest beam compared to the concrete without fibers. Conversely, the use of 35 mm fibers instead of 13 mm attenuated the size effect, reducing the difference between the flexural strength of the smallest and the tallest members from 60 to 46%.
Perception of violence by transvestigender people in Brazil and its implications for primary health care
Authors: Mello Mônica Machado Cunha e , Moretti-Pires Rodrigo Otávio , Signorelli Marcos Claudio
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective The study aims to describe the violence perceived by transvestigender people in Brazil, linking it to primary healthcare. Methods Fourteen transvestigender people in Brazil were interviewed through 2 focus groups and 8 interviews, conducted between December 2021 and April 2022. Data analysis was performed using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Results The statements were categorized into the following themes: “the unintentional nature of violence”, “violence in health services” and “the family as a producer of violence”. These categories show that the phenomenon of violence extends beyond intentional acts directed at a person, as originally conceptualized by the World Health Organization. Conclusion The transvestigender population experiences both intentional and unintentional violence, which impacts their physical and emotional well-being. Primary healthcare can serve as an ally in addressing these forms of violence by ensuring comprehensive care.

Published: January 2025

A hipertensão arterial sistêmica é uma condição crônica de alta morbimortalidade, sendo o principal fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. Este trabalho tem como objetivo sumarizar fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e condutas convencionais, bem como revisar as mais recentes evidências científicas sobre o uso da acupuntura como complemento no tratamento da hipertensão, incluindo revisões sistemáticas e ensaios clínicos. Estudos recentes indicam que a acupuntura, isolada ou combinada com medicações anti-hipertensivas, reduz significativamente a pressão arterial. Apesar de resultados promissores, a literatura enfrenta limitações metodológicas, como heterogeneidade nos protocolos e baixa qualidade dos estudos. Conclui-se que a acupuntura, por ser segura e com raros efeitos adversos, pode ser uma intervenção útil associada ao tratamento convencional, mas carece de estudos amplos e rigorosos para sua aplicabilidade em larga escala na saúde pública.

Abstract
When planning and providing information services for their patrons, librarians and information service providers must take into account users' information-seeking behaviours. This role is also felt in the productivity level of librarians. In other words, when librarians are productive, it goes a long way in bringing about much positivity to the sustenance of that organization. When this is not the case, there is every tendency that, that organization might collapse. It is in this regard that this study therefore deems it fit to investigate the Information Seeking Behaviour (ISB) of Lecturers in Private Universities in Oyo State. Descriptive research design was adopted. Population consists of 520 lecturers in private universities in Oyo state, Nigeria. 217 lecturers served as the sample size after Krejcie and Morgan was applied to determine the sample size. Multi stage sampling technique was used as well as a validated questionnaire was also used to collect data. The reliability coefficient for the variable was 0.72. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that (ISB) had significant influence on teaching, citation, students’ project supervision, grant proposal writing and research activities of lecturers. The study concluded that ISB influenced lecturers. The study recommended that academic libraries to organise various seminars for lecturers to boost the use of available sources of information resources and equip them with necessary information retrieval skills to effectively use the databases from where they can obtain quality resources.

The aim of this study was to investigate the level of nutritional knowledge, practices and habits (NKPH) among Jordanian female football players. Furthermore, it explores the differences in the level of NKPH according to their playing position. Seventy healthy and uninjured elite female soccer players participated in this study. The height, body mass, and body mass index (BMI) of the participants (mean ± SD) were 162± 0.045 cm, 57.25± 5.30 kg, and 21.75± 1.89 kg/m², respectively, and were assessed during the 2023-2024 competitive seasons. The researchers used the following anthropometric measurements (height, body mass, body mass index (BMI) and (NKPH) level. The objectives of the study were achieved by applying means, standard deviations and one-way ANOVA analysis to examine the effect of playing position on the dependent variables, and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS version 29, with a confidence level of 95%. The results of the study showed no statistically significant differences in anthropometric variables according to playing position. Also, the general level of nutritional habits was low, ranging between (18.42 and 21.90 points), with a clear superiority of the average of the midfielders (21.90 points) and at a reasonable level. As for nutritional knowledge, it ranged between (59-66.15 %) with a good level, as midfielders obtained the highest percentage (66.15 %). On the other hand, there were statistically significant differences in nutritional practices in favour of the midfielder position. However, there were statistically significant relationships between nutritional knowledge, habits (r=0.49) and practices (r=0.28). Therefore, further research linking dietary habits, knowledge and practices with physiological variables is recommended.
Liability for Damage Caused by Loadshedding: A Consideration of Whether Collective Action for Redress by Consumers in South Africa is Possible
Authors: Scott-Ngoepe Tshepiso
Published: January 2025

The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) seeks to advance the social and economic welfare of consumers in South Africa by protecting vulnerable consumers, amongst other things. Loadshedding, which is characterised by a chronic shortage in the supply of electricity, was introduced into South African society in 2007 as a mechanism to distribute the demand for electricity. Its purpose is to relieve the stress on the national power grid when the demand is high to prevent a national blackout. One of the impacts of the power surge when electricity is restored to the power grid is damage to consumer property such as electrical appliances. In section 61 the CPA makes provision for consumers to institute an action for liability flowing from damage caused by “goods”. This paper argues that section 61 may be a good legal basis for collective redress by consumers in South Africa against power suppliers such as Eskom and the local municipalities.

The cocoa plant is crucial for the economy and livelihoods of millions of farmers in tropical regions, but its production is threatened by climate change. Traditional propagation practices, such as seed planting, fail to ensure the necessary uniformity and resilience against these changes, highlighting the need to explore alternative methods like grafting and cloning. These methods could enhance cocoa’s adaptation to adverse climate conditions and reduce its carbon footprint. This study aims to compare different reproductive methods in terms of production, disease resistance, and climate adaptation (Vera et al., 2023).
A água como elemento integrador da paisagem produtiva no território de Salacia: uma análise a partir das olarias romanas de Alcácer do Sal (Portugal)
Authors: Bombico Sonia , Magalhães Ana Patrícia
Published: January 2025

In this paper we analyse the way water has shaped the landscape around Alcácer do Sal, the ancient Roman city of Salacia. The Sado river presents itself as an integrating element in a productive landscape based on the salt exploitation and the production of amphorae, to supply the powerful "industry" of fish salting that developed in the river mouth, in Caetobriga (Setúbal) and Tróia. Starting from the reading of the dynamic landscape of the Sado valley, we focus our analysis on the Roman pottery workshops located in the surroundings of Alcácer - Barrosinha, Bugio, Vale de Cepa and Enchurrasqueira. We present the results of recent archaeological work on the relocation and characterization of these pottery workshops, seeking to contribute to the study of the Sado port system in Roman times.
Paisajes culturales y patrimonio hidráulico del regadío histórico del Valle de Ricote (Región de Murcia, España)

Published: January 2025

In the Vega Alta del Segura, some landscapes irrigated with historic orchards have been formed. They use water emission points (the Fuente Grande spring for the Ricote orchard-oasis) or the waters of the Segura River derived by a succession of hydraulic dam and ditch systems that allow irrigation under ditch or gate. With devices that raise the water (wheels, counter-wheels, motors and countermotors), the orchards climb the slopes with terracing. The Ricote Valley is one of the last places in the Iberian Peninsula from which the Moriscos were expelled, in 1613. Their imprint is preserved in the hydraulic heritage, farming systems and cultural landscapes. These have a rich hydraulic heritage, where some of its elements have become a Valricotí identity, such as the waterwheels, which together with agricultural practices have allowed the candidacy for The Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
El agua, bendición y maldición: su impacto en el seguro de pedrisco desde sus orígenes hasta 1990

This article analyzes hail insurance, one of the most specific financial and preventive instruments for dealing with climatic disasters. Rain is essential for the field, but there are times when it is not beneficial for the field but rather the opposite. Meteorological disasters such as hail cause precipitation with ice stones that fall with force causing significant destruction. The research in the Gaceta de Madrid (the old Boletin Oficial del Estado) explains the progress that had been made since the 19th century, where there were companies that effectively dealt with risk coverage, and its evolution up to the end of the 20th century. It is important to highlight both the work of the Administration and the savings banks that strongly supported this insurance and, by extension, the agricultural sector, without forgetting the work since 1954 of the public company Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros.
Agua y patrimonio histórico: una visión multidisciplinar en el contexto internacional
Authors: Palomares Alarcón Sheila
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to promote scientific reflection on hydraulic architecture and the influence it has had on the places where it has been built, as well as to study the historical heritage linked to water as a tool for the development of our society. In order to carry out this research, on the one hand, an exhaustive study of the treatises published during the 18th and 19th centuries in Spain has been carried out with the intention of studying the presence of hydraulic architecture in them, both at a conceptual level and in terms of the identification of heritage assets. On the other hand, the results of several contributions have been analysed, which, from the points of view of different disciplines, have hydraulic architecture, archaeology, city supply, cultural landscapes, and hydraulic and industrial heritage in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Morocco, as their object of analysis.
The Persistence of Jameson's Postmodernism Analysis
Authors: Kırmızısakal Koray
Published: January 2025

This study aims to highlight the elements of Fredric Jameson’s analysis of postmodernism that remain relevant today. Although the term and periodization of postmodernism may seem to have lost popularity in contemporary theory, many theorists agree that capitalism has undergone a radical transformation since the 1970s. With this final stage of capitalism, the cultural and economic spheres have overlapped, and every aspect of daily life has become commodified more than ever before. In this article, after explaining Jameson’s concept of postmodernism as a historical condition and a mode of production-subjectivity, I argue that the theory remains valid in all three areas that constitute the triptych under the headings of a. the waning of affect, b. immediacy, c. new depthlessness, and d. pastiche and nostalgia. Ultimately, I contend that the decline of postmodernism should be interpreted as a sign of its complete realization.
