The Effect of Cultural Patron-Client Relationship Perspectives on Asian Christian Spirituality in Relation to Spiritual Growth and Missions Outreach
Authors: J.D-Davidson Vee
Published: April 2024

Facets of worldview belief and resulting cultural practice provide the norms for maintaining the expected behavioral norms and lifestyle rhythms of peoples within their own communities. The outworking of the concept of the patron- client relationship provides a vehicle for establishing mutually beneficial relationships within such communities. However, this concept might easily be inappropriately associated with the relationship that is established with God through the atoning death of Jesus on the cross. Under such circumstances of misappropriation of the patron-client relationship, the dynamics of salvation are likely to become undermined, along with implications that might limit personal and corporate spiritual growth. The resulting potential for syncretism will inevitably also affect Christian outreach and missions. Principles are provided to maintain biblical literacy in relation to patron-client perspectives in order to aid spiritual growth and provide coherence for the message of missions.
Disciples of the Green Spirit
Authors: Fernandez Eleazar
Published: April 2024

This essay pursues the subject of eco-justice spirituality by offering a critique of our ecological crisis in the context of predatory capitalism. Predatory capitalism is the socioeconomic and political system that is driving this rapacious pursuit of profits at the expense of people and the ecosystem. But our ecological crisis is also a matter of faith, particularly of toxic theologies and spiritualities. It is for this reason that we must detoxify toxic theologies and spiritualities. Beyond the call for detoxification, we must articulate theologies or ways of knowing and pursue spiritual practices that promote ecological sensibility. Central to this articulation is the reclaiming of the identity of the church as an embodiment of the green spirit and as followers of the green Christ. Finally, it calls us to action by practicing green spirituality.
Water droplet distribution for non-circular sprinkler nozzles
Authors: Liu Jialing , Wan Jixiang , Li Hao , Jiang Yue
Published: April 2024

Objective: The study sought to investigate the distribution law of the diameter, velocity, and kinetic energy of water droplets in specially designed nozzles. Method: An indoor windless water droplet dispersion test on the PY15 rocker-arm sprinkler was performed using a video raindrop spectrometer at five working pressures: 100 kPa, 150 kPa, 200 kPa, 250 kPa, and 300 kPa. Result: The equal-flow nozzle has the following range: circle > rhombus > ellipse; the shape coefficient of the special-shaped nozzle decreases with increasing outlet diameter and increases with increasing aspect ratio; the diameter of the rhombus nozzle’s water droplet increases radially. Conclusion: Under the same working pressure, the diameter of the water droplet at the end decreases as the form coefficient increases. The wider the outlet’s diameter, the longer the range and the greater the increase in the velocity of the water droplets. The larger the aspect ratio, the shorter the range and the greater the average diameter and velocity of the droplets. The elliptical nozzle has the lowest droplet velocity increase as droplet diameter increases. The impacting kinetic energy and growth range of water droplets per unit volume at the same position decrease as the pressure increases. Along the radial direction, the droplet velocity and diameter are logarithmic, while the droplet kinetic energy and diameter are exponential and linear functions. The relationship between the shape coefficient, outlet diameter, aspect ratio, and droplet distribution characteristics of the shaped nozzle can be simulated using the fitting coefficients of the three droplet distribution prediction models, all of which are above 0.9.
A review on the role of green vegetation in improving urban environmental quality
Authors: Raihan Asif
Published: April 2024

The exacerbation of climate change impacts within metropolitan areas is a well-documented phenomenon, often leading to severe consequences that pose significant risks to human populations. The impact of urban vegetation and planting design on these factors can be observed. However, it is worth mentioning that while there is an extensive body of literature on the consequences of climate change, there is a relatively small number of studies specifically focused on examining the role of vegetation as a mitigating factor in urban environments. This review paper aims to critically examine existing studies pertaining to the role of urban vegetation in mitigating the detrimental effects of the urban environment. The objective is to offer practical recommendations that can be implemented by city planners. By conducting a comprehensive examination of the literature available in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, employing specific keywords pertaining to urban vegetation and climate change, we have identified five prominent concerns pertaining to the urban environment. These concerns encompass particulate matter, gaseous pollution, noise pollution, water runoff, and the urban heat island effect. The present analysis highlights that the impact of urban vegetation on the negative consequences of climate change cannot be unequivocally classified as either positive or negative. This is due to the fact that the influence of urban greenery is intricately connected to factors such as the arrangement, makeup, and dispersion of vegetation, as well as the specific management criteria employed. Hence, this research has the potential to enhance comprehension of the multifaceted nature of urban green spaces and establish a solid groundwork for subsequent investigations.
Experiences of foundation year students integrating into first year
Authors: Law Anna S. , Sheen Kayleigh
Published: April 2024

Foundation year courses tend to attract an elevated proportion of students from widening participation backgrounds. Previously, O'Sullivan et al. (2019) showed that sense of belonging and academic confidence increase during the foundation year. The research reported here
took the next step, by investigating the experiences of foundation year students as they transitioned into a first year cohort. Students (n= 18) participated in either a focus group or interview. Three themes were identified. The foundation year was viewed as 1) a valuable `stepping
stone´ into higher education. Students felt that they had been given a `second chance´ and were more prepared for the first year. The second theme related to 2) identity development as a university student. Challenges were highlighted, including a perceived `stigma´
of a foundation year. The third theme related to 3) integration with other students. Students formed close support networks with each other. None had integrated with others on the wider programme or at the university, attributing this to the perceived inability or lack of opportunity to meet
others, or a feeling that this was unnecessary. This study provides new insights into the strengths and challenges of the foundation cohort experience as they progress through their programme, with implications for practice.
Article: The (Un)Sustainability of UK Company Law: ClientEarth v. Shell Plc
Authors: Paduano Claudia
Published: April 2024

This article delves into the intersection of environmental litigation, corporate accountability, and the urgent global challenge of climate change. Focused on the ClientEarth v. Shell plc. (UK) case, it explores the evolving role of courts in holding companies responsible for their contributions to climate risks. Despite efforts to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into corporate decisionmaking, the article reveals a significant gap between legal interpretations of UK company law and broader societal objectives. The case’s procedural intricacies and the court’s reluctance to intervene in internal corporate governance processes underline the limitations of current legal frameworks in addressing climate externalities. Emphasizing the theoretical misalignment of company law with sustainability, the article contends that either corporate directors must incorporate broader societal perspectives into decision-making, or a fundamental reform of company law is imperative. However, it acknowledges the challenges of reform within the existing capitalist paradigm, where directors grapple with conflicting pressures. Ultimately, the ClientEarth case prompts critical reflections on the efficacy of legal mechanisms in mitigating climate change and the illusory promise of company law in promoting broader societal interests.

Article: Non-preferential Origin of Seamless Stainless Steel Tubes
Authors: Felderhoff Kai Henning
Published: April 2024

Following the request of the Hamburg Fiscal Court of 2 March 2022, 4 K 160/18, the European Court of Justice, in its ruling of 21 September 2023, C-210/22, ECLI:EU:C:2023:693, has now made a decision on the non-preferential origin of seamless stainless steel tubes that is especially significant for the levying of anti-dumping duties on such products originating from China. The general significance of the topic results from the fact that seamless stainless steel tubes are often internationally produced, with the process of hot forming taking place in China and with the process of cold forming taking place in another country, such as South Korea or India. There are currently numerous disputes throughout the European Union if the antidumping duties can be levied on these products. Due to the comments of the ECJ on the relationship between customs tariff law and non-preferential origin law, the new decision is also important for the interpretation of non-preferential origin law in accordance with the rules of origin in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 (further on:UCC-DA)1 in general. The following explanations give the essential reasons of the decision and its legal and economical consequences

Article: Japan’s Latest Export Regulations on Semiconductors: A Plurilateral Approach with Bite
Authors: Trehearne Colin , Miyaoka Kunio
Published: April 2024

In July 2023 Japan’s latest export tightening regulations on semiconductor manufacturing equipment took effect. These export regulations, implemented in coordination with the United States and the Netherlands, are significant in several respects: they have direct legal and potentially financial implications for Japan’s leading equipment suppliers, they represent a departure from Japan’s past approach of implementing in domestic law only those restrictions found in multilateral control lists, and the efficacy of these regulations in achieving their aims is as yet uncertain. Exporters may need to apply for one or more export licenses in order to comply with these regulations, or to try to take advantage of certain exemptions allowed by the law, such as the low-value goods exemption. As these regulations (and related regulations in the United States) are complex, effectively addressing their consequences will require market participants to take a detail-oriented and proactive approach. In the short term, various forces, including these regulations, appear to be driving on-shoring and decoupling of production: multiple Japanese and foreign parties are already investing billions in new semiconductor production in Japan.

Article: Annulment of Anti-dumping/Anti-subsidy Measures Imposed in Threat of Injury Investigations: Impact on Customs Cases in the European Union
Authors: Dascalescu Florin
Published: April 2024

Based on anti-dumping (AD) and anti-subsidy (AS) rules within the World Trade Organization (WTO), WTO members are fully entitled to take action unilaterally when ‘unfair’ imports (dumped or subsidized) cause injury to the domestic producers. In the European Union (EU), the imposition of AD and countervailing duties are based on Regulation 2016/1036 and Regulation 2016/1037, respectively, which mirror the WTO standards. The cumulative conditions for the imposition of AD or AS measures under the WTO rules are similar: 1) the existence of dumping or, respectively subsidization; (2) material injury; and (3) the nexus between dumped/subsidized imports and the damage inflicted to the domestic industry. The threat of injury claim forms the basis of a preventive mechanism that prompts the national investigating authorities to preemptively act before actual material injury is inflicted on the domestic industry. While the logic behind is that corrective measures shall be imposed before the damage is inflicted to the domestic industry, such ex-ante injury analysis remains complex and prone to errors. These errors, which are more susceptible to occur in a prospective analysis than in a ‘classic’ actual material injury one, may impact not only the exporting producers in the main AD/AS procedures, but also the rights of importers to subsequently challenge the validity of the protective measures via national courts, if they have locus standi. The author aims at examining the impact that the annulment of AD and AS measures based on a threat of injury claim may have on the national customs cases, in particular as regards the recovery of the duties paid by the EU importers.

Authors: Yujia Ya
Published: April 2024

In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy and the acceleration of wealth accumulation, family trust has gradually attracted widespread attention and application as an asset inheritance tool. As a special wealth management tool, family trust aims to help families maintain wealth and achieve long-term wealth inheritance goals. In the research of predecessors, it mainly expounds the unique advantages of family trust on the basis of the huge demand for wealth inheritance in the Chinese market. The obstacles encountered by family trust in China’s localisation and the innovation model proposed in response to the obstacles. In these studies, a series of problems arising from different policies and stages of development of the country have been ignored. With the economic development, the market demand for China’s wealth inheritance continues to expand, and the Chinese government and related institutions are also gradually reforming. On this basis, this article uses the literature analysis method to understand the new policies proposed in family trusts in China and the practical problems faced by high-net-worth families in the post-epidemic era by consulting a large number of materials. Then use the comparative analysis method to summarise the development of family trusts in China through the research and comparison of family trusts in different countries, put forward constructive opinions on the inheritance of family assets with high net worth in China, discuss the research progress of family trust in the field of asset inheritance in recent years with a thinking method, and analyse it in different cultures. And the application and impact in the legal context.
An exploration to agricultural diversification in India: A study of Bundelkhand region
Authors: Shekhar  , Gupta Rashi , Verma Parul
Published: April 2024

The study examines an exploration of agricultural diversification in India. Economic Survey 2022 calls for agriculture diversification in view of acute water stress in cultivated areas where wheat, paddy, and sugarcane are grown in India. Agriculture diversification has a direct association with farm income. Thus, it can substantially contribute to the income creation capacity of marginal and small farmers and stabilize their livelihoods. Thus, approaching this notion, a study aimed at an empirical analysis of agricultural diversification in the Bundelkhand region with the help of a primary survey. For this, a logit regression model has been used. With the implication of the logit model, it has been found that agriculture diversification is potentially and significantly more likely to be affected by the farm size, literacy, and agricultural training on technology demonstration. The study suggests restructuring education in rural areas and incorporating the aspect of regional agriculture literacy into the school curriculum. Special training or literacy programmes must be conducted specifically by targeting the small and marginal farmers, as the study found them more enthusiastic to adopt diversified agricultural practices. Further, there is an acute need to prevent ongoing land diminution, as excessively marginal land holdings are not effective and productive for diversified agricultural practices.
Impact of economic growth and financial development on renewable energy use in selected oil-exporting countries
Authors: Belloumi Mounir , Aljazea Ahmed
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to explore the influence of economic growth and financial development on renewable energy consumption. For the purpose of analysis, this investigation uses annual data on renewable energy consumption, economic growth, financial development, consumer price index, domestic investment, and foreign direct investment for 13 major oil-exporting countries, including Algeria, Guinea, Gabon, Iran, Libya, Nigeria, Congo, Republic of Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Malaysia, Sudan, and Russia, during the period 1990-2020. The study employs the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) method and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test to conduct the empirical analysis. The Hausman test determines the PMG estimator as the most suitable among the Mean Group (MG), Dynamic Fixed Effect (DFE), and PMG estimators. This research shows that economic growth and financial development have a positive and significant long-term impact on renewable energy consumption. This suggests that as the economy grows and financial systems develop, there is a potential for an increase in the use of renewable energy. The Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test and the panel dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) method support these findings. From a policy standpoint, promoting economic growth and financial development could lead to greater use of renewable energy and contribute to sustainable development in oil-exporting countries.

As limitações quanto à disponibilidade de dados climatológicos em Sergipe dificultam uma melhor compreensão da caracterização climática e a construção de séries históricas para identificar variações ao longo dos anos. Frente a confirmação da vigência do evento El Niño em 2023, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar quais são os efeitos que os fenômenos climáticos El Niño e La Niña exercem sobre a precipitação de Sergipe, tomando como referência a representação cartográfica da precipitação no estado, a partir dos dados de 17 estações meteorológicas disponíveis na plataforma HIDROWEB/ANA e adotando o recorte temporal de 1970 a 2000. Considerando esse recorte temporal, foram identificados 6 eventos de El Niño e 7 de La Niña a partir dos dados da National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). O território sul de Sergipe se manteve como o principal núcleo de precipitação do estado, mesmo sob influência do El Niño e da La Niña. Por outro lado, o território do Alto Sertão demonstrou ser uma das regiões mais afetada, com a redução da precipitação desde o território do Médio Sertão e do Agreste Central. Entre os principais impactos socioeconômicos para o Alto e Médio Sertão, destaca-se a pecuária, a produção de leite e a agricultura para pequenos e médios agricultores.

Published: April 2024

Os agrotóxicos são empregados para controle de doenças e de pragas e têm gerado problemas ambientais e também relacionados à saúde pública. Ao contrário os problemas de saúde agudos, os problemas crônicos são decorrentes da exposição a agrotóxicos por longos períodos de tempo, possuem sintomas mais sutis e são mais difíceis de serem diagnosticados. A partir do exposto, o presente estudo emprega técnicas de mineração de dados, por meio da ferramenta computacional WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis), na tentativa de identificar possíveis relações entre o uso de agrotóxicos e problemas de saúde reportados pelos munícipes de Santa Tereza do Oeste - PR, Brasil. A base de dados utilizada foi construída por meio da aplicação do questionário Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20 Items (SRQ-20), o qual é reconhecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para avaliação de desordens psiquiátricas. Em geral, os resultados gerais corroboram com aqueles produzidos por outros estudos relacionados ao tema, ao mesmo tempo em que os resultados individuais de cada técnica de mineração de dados empregadas convergem entre si. Dentre outros, identificou-se a relação do contato com agrotóxicos com problemas de fadiga, neurológicos e gastrointestinais. Além disso, com base na análise dos resultados obtidos, surgiu um questionamento quanto à forma como o SRQ-20 é utilizado avaliando apenas o fator quantitativo e não qualitativo das respostas fornecidas.

Our study presents a new occurrence and distribution record for Aegla lata in the state of Paraná, Brazil, specifically in the municipality of Rolândia. This finding, documented in October 2020 during the collection of benthic macroinvertebrates, highlights the crucial need for continuous monitoring and conservation efforts, especially in the face of evolving habitat changes in the region. Eight male specimens of A. lata were captured in a stream in Rolândia, expanding the known distribution area and providing valuable insights into the species' biology. Morphological identification, following established protocols, revealed distinctive features, including carapace measurements, variations in chelae, and specific anatomical characteristics. Notably, visible differences in chelae morphology were observed, aligning with previous studies on allometric growth in Aegla species. Despite the current non-threatened classification, A. lata deserves special attention due to its endemism in the Paranapanema River basin in Paraná, Brazil. The region, characterized by agricultural activities and ongoing deforestation, poses a significant threat to Aegla species, emphasizing the urgency of conservation measures. This discovery expands the known distribution area of A. lata to Rolândia, providing critical information for establishing effective conservation policies.

O ano de 2020 foi assolado pela pandemia da COVID-19, que suscitou o fechamento das escolas, embora com a continuidade de ensino de forma remota. A presente pesquisa apresenta entrevista, por meio de grupo focal, a cinco professoras alfabetizadoras da rede municipal de ensino de Foz do Iguaçu, acerca dos significados por elas atribuídos às experiências de ensinar a ler e escrever durante o período pandêmico. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi registar a experiência docente perante as solicitações e normativas da secretaria municipal de educação de Foz do Iguaçu. Os objetivos específicos foram registrar as documentações legais que fundamentaram o trabalho pedagógico no contexto analisado e as condições materiais nas quais se deu o ensino na alfabetização. Foi possível concluir que a secretaria municipal de educação de Foz do Iguaçu apresentou registros de chamadas e planos de ensino que não condizem com a experiência docente durante a pandemia. As crianças receberam tarefas escolares a serem realizadas em suas casas, mas fatores como a falta de acesso à internet e pouco envolvimento das famílias dificultaram a continuidade do trabalho pedagógico.

O estudo avaliou o efeito de diferentes substratos na germinação de sementes de Handroanthus heptaphyllus (ipê-roxo). Realizado no viveiro florestal da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, o experimento utilizou doze tratamentos compostos por combinações de substratos como solo comercial, cama de aves, resíduos frigoríficos, cinza de caldeira e casca de arroz carbonizada. Apesar da variedade de substratos, a germinação das sementes ocorreu de forma consistente em todos os tratamentos, com valores acima de 92%. A velocidade de germinação foi mais influenciada pelos tratamentos T1, T2, T6, T7 e T10, que apresentaram as maiores médias, indicando que essas combinações proporcionaram condições mais favoráveis para o rápido desenvolvimento das plântulas. Por outro lado, o tratamento T9 registrou uma velocidade de germinação significativamente inferior, sugerindo que a proporção entre solo e cama de aves pode ter afetado negativamente o processo de germinação. A análise das correlações entre as variáveis de qualidade fisiológica das sementes indicou que a porcentagem de germinação está fortemente relacionada com à velocidade de germinação, enquanto o tempo médio de germinação mostrou uma correlação negativa, menos significativa. Esses resultados ressaltam a importância de escolher cuidadosamente os substratos para produção de mudasde ipê-roxo, visando garantir um crescimento saudável e uniforme das plantas.
Curso no Collège de France de 1981 de Michel Foucault: subjetividade e verdade
Authors: Silva Elvis Magno da , Brito Valéria da Glória Pereira , Silva Sibila Fernanda Martins
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho trata-se de um ensaio teórico que teve como objetivo principal apresentar aos leitores o conjunto de pensamentos de Michel Foucault ministrado no curso do Collège de France do ano de 1981 que norteou a conceituação genérica de subjetividade e verdade para formação do sujeito. O filósofo francês Michel Foucault (1926 – 1984) foi professor da cátedra Histoire des systèmes de pensèe (História dos sistemas de pensamento) no Collège de France, no período compreendido entre 1970 e 1984, exceto em 1977. Ressaltamos ainda que a edição deste curso de 1981, para livro, foi feita por Frédéric Gros, e que, apesar de todas as aulas terem sido estudadas para compor este trabalho, nem todas foram utilizadas, para que se pudesse manter o foco na constituição do sujeito no tocante a subjetividade e verdade, de forma a não fugir do tema central hora proposto por este trabalho. Esta subjetividade do sujeito é formada pelos processos de subjetivação, que também são mencionadas na obra como governamentalidades de si ou técnicas de si. Estas técnicas de si são um imperativo para conhecer a si mesmo. Destes processos de subjetivação que compõe a subjetividade do sujeito, foram expostas no trabalho conforme as aulas de Foucault durante o curso. Cabe ressaltar que obviamente este trabalho não teve como abordar todas as questões explanadas no curso e tão pouco foi nosso objetivo fazê-lo. A intenção foi apresentar neste trabalho um conjunto de pensamentos de Michel Foucault que norteou a conceituação de subjetividade e verdade do sujeito apresentadas pelo curso, o qual acreditamos tê-lo conseguido. Para aprofundamento do tema, recomendamos a leitura do livro Hermenêutica do Sujeito de Michel Foucault que foi baseado em suas aulas do ano 1982 ao qual deu sequência em seus pensamentos no tocante a esta temática de subjetividade na constituição do sujeito.

O mamoeiro geralmente é propagado por meio de sementes, por tratar-se de um método rápido, econômico e prático. Na semente, a boa germinação e vigor são características necessárias para produção de mudas de qualidade, ressaltando a importância das informações relativas desses processos. Neste contexto, a utilização de bioestimulantes surge como uma alternativa positiva para otimizar o desenvolvimento inicial das plantas, gerando significativos benefícios ao setor produtivo. Portanto, nesse trabalho objetivou-se avaliar a germinação de sementes e o vigor de plântulas de mamão após o tratamento das sementes com bioestimulante, em diferentes condições de luminosidade. O experimento foi realizado no Laboratório de Conservação e Tecnologia de Sementes da Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, localizado no município de Cruz das Almas-BA. As sementes foram retiradas dos frutos e submetidas ao processo de remoção da sarcostesta. Antes dos testes, as sementes foram embebidas em produto comercial Promalin® (GA4+7 + BA) por 24h, na dosagem de 0,3 mg mL-1. O delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado (DIC) em parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com oito repetições, onde as parcelas representam as condições (escuro e luz) e as subparcelas os nove dias de avaliações após registro de emergência das plântulas. Os testes de emergência e vigor das plântulas resultaram em dados para as características obtidos em porcentagem nas quais foram realizadas análises estatísticas por meio do programa estatístico SISVAR. Após as análises, verificou-se que as sementes de mamoeiro apresentaram maior percentual de germinação no mesmo período em que aumentaram os níveis de umidade. Além disso, os percentuais de germinação foram semelhantes nas duas condições. A análise de vigor demonstrou diferença significativa na condição luz e escuro. A germinação de sementes de mamão na condição de luz, tem influência significativa na emergência e no vigor das plântulas de mamão.
