Agricultura familiar camponesa e ordenamento territorial: relato de experiência libertadora no âmbito da disciplina de pós-graduação
Authors: Brito Alcides Furtado
Published: May 2023

No contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 a educação buscou se reinventar com adoção do ensino remoto e uso ampliado das múltiplas plataformas para a promoção da educação em tempos de quarentena. A Universidade Federal do Pernambuco-UFPE, através do Programa de Pós-graduação em Geografia –PPGeo, oportunizou para os brasileiros e estrangeiros, graduandos e pós-graduandos, a abertura de inscrição na disciplina Agricultura familiar camponesa e ordenamento territorial, ministrada online nos meses de julho a outubro de 2021. O presente trabalho trata-se de um relato de experiência vivenciado ao cursarmos a disciplina. Adotamos como metodologia padrão observações e anotações sistemáticas das aulas, dos debates e das trocas de experiências nas aulas síncronas, correlacionando com textos disponibilizados pelos professores e pesquisadores. A disciplina possibilitou um espaço crítico reflexivo que gerou um aprofundamento de cunho teórico-prático sendo capaz de atingir e despertar a sensibilidade humana. Ao se propor debater temas de imensurável relevância tais como: campesinato, questão agrária, territórios tradicionais indígenas e quilombolas, produção agroecológica, agronegócio, dentre outros, abriu espaço para o pluralismo de falas e fez ecoar a voz dos gritos constantes dos povos tradicionais que lutam por justiça social, pelo reconhecimento e respeito aos seus territórios e que historicamente foram negligenciados. Destacamos como indispensável contribuição a reflexão em torno do “espaço de fala” do pesquisador despertando para a necessidade de uma nova postura científica, desta vez politizada e crítica das atuais formas de dominação e subjugação rompendo o modelo tradicional no âmbito das pós-graduações e oportunizando uma experiência libertadora de educação.

I have been asked by my editorial team to write a small note for the first issue of this journal entitled, JUCMD (Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry). Reflecting on what makes a good journal great reminds of the sayings of Dr Bartosz Hudzik, a young cardiologist at a medical university in Poland.  First and foremost, there is the team of dedicated and highly qualified editors who provide valuable guidance on the journal contents. In addition, there are manuscript authors, equally important as the editors, as they are the ones conducting research, writing and rewriting drafts, and submitting the manuscript in hopes that it will be published. Then, there are the reviewers, who advise the editors on the importance and novelty of the findings and the soundness of the research methodology. Finally, there are the readers, who look to the journal for accurate and up-to-date scientific and clinical information. We have this exact recipe right at the start of our journal in the form of a very active and energetic editorial board and a competent pool of reviewers.

Authors: Lail Raees Abbas , Aziz Muhammad Aamir
Published: May 2023

Objective: To find out the factors causing mortality in preterm neonates admitted at a tertiary care hospital in Sahiwal, Punjab.

Method: This retrospective study was conducted in the Pediatric unit of Sahiwal Teaching Hospital, Sahiwal, Punjab, from January to September, 2021. Out of 1256 neonates, including 586 preterm, only those 105 preterm neonates were included in the study who had expired within one month of their stay, were less than 33 weeks of age and had less than 2500 grams birth weight.  Their data was analyzed for age and weight at the time of admission, sex, duration of stay and cause of admission. The record of their clinical and radiological investigations was retrieved to know the causes of mortality.

Results

More than half of the deaths amongst 105 preterm neonates were unavoidable and occurred within first 48 hours of hospitalization due to their critical condition at the time of admission. Out of the total deaths, 46 (43.80%) were due to sepsis, 24 (22.85%) were due to birth asphyxia, 24 (22.85%) were due to respiratory distress, 8 (7.61%) were due to neonatal jaundice and 3 (2.85%) deaths had no definite cause.

Conclusion:  Neonatal infections are the leading cause of death, followed by birth asphyxia and respiratory distress in the government hospitals of Pakistan. Although the government has made tremendous efforts in the recent years to upgrade the prenatal health services, there is need to further educate the masses and enhance the reach and quality of primary health care services in the district and rural areas of the country.

Above-treeline ecosystems facing drought: lessons from the European 2022 summer heatwave
Authors: Choler Philippe
Published: May 2023

Abstract. In 2022, Europe experienced an extremely dry and hot summer. In the Alps, this episode occurred after an unusually low snowfall winter, which aggravated the dryness of soils. This study examines the impact of this particular year on the canopy greenness of above-treeline ecosystems by comparison with previous heat waves that hit the Alps during the last two decades. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series derived from the MODIS satellite were processed to extract the temporal variability of yearly maximum NDVI (NDVImax). The responsiveness of NDVImax to snow cover duration and growing season weather conditions was evaluated in contrasting hydro-climate regions of the Alps using linear mixed effect models. The year 2022 was unique in that the summer heat wave led to a widespread negative anomaly of NDVImax. The magnitude of this anomaly was unprecedented in the southwestern, driest part of the Alps, where vegetation activity was found to be particularly responsive to snow cover duration and early summer precipitation. In the colder and wetter regions, all warm to very warm summers before 2022 had led to increased canopy greenness, but the combination of a reduced snow cover and low early summer precipitation counteracted this expected beneficial effect in 2022. This study provides evidence that the control of canopy greenness by temperature and water balance differs markedly across regions of the Alps and that the year 2022 bears witness to a shift toward an increasing importance of moisture availability for regulating plant growth at high elevation. This is viewed as a warning sign of what could become the new norm in the years ahead in the context of increasing frequency and intensity of extreme droughts throughout temperate mountain ecosystems.
Inferring heavy tails of flood distributions from common discharge dynamics
Authors: Wang Hsing-Jui , Merz Ralf , Yang Soohyun , Basso Stefano

Abstract. Floods are often disastrous due to underestimation of the magnitude of rare events. Underestimation commonly happens when the occurrence of floods follow a heavy-tailed distribution, but this behavior is not recognized and thus neglected for flood hazard assessment. In fact, identifying heavy-tailed flood behavior is challenging because of limited data records and the lack of physical support for currently used indices. We address these issues by deriving a new index of heavy-tailed flood behavior from a physically-based description of streamflow dynamics. The proposed index, which is embodied by the hydrograph recession exponent, enables inferring heavy-tailed flood behavior from daily flow records, even of short length. We test the index in a large set of case studies across Germany encompassing a variety of climatic and physiographic settings. Our findings demonstrate that the new index enables reliable identification of cases with either heavy or nonheavy tailed flood behavior from daily flow records. Additionally, the index suitably estimates the severity of tail heaviness and ranks it across cases, achieving robust results even with short data records. The new index addresses the main limitations of currently used metrics, which lack physical support and require long data records to correctly identify tail behaviors, and provides valuable information on the tail behavior of flood distributions and the related flood hazard in river basins using commonly available discharge data.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if the included references in a set of completed systematic reviews are indexed in Ovid MEDLINE and Ovid Embase, and how many references would be missed if we were to constrict our literature searches to one of these sources, or the two databases in combination.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study where we searched for each included reference (n = 4,709) in 274 reviews produced by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health to find out if the references were indexed in the respective databases. The data was recorded in an Excel spreadsheet where we calculated the indexing rate. The reviews were sorted into eight categories to see if the indexing rate differs from subject to subject.
Results: The indexing rate in MEDLINE (86.6%) was slightly lower than in Embase (88.2%).  Without the MEDLINE records in Embase, the indexing rate in Embase was 71.8%. The highest indexing rate was achieved by combining both databases (90.2%). The indexing rate was highest in the category "Physical health - treatment" (97.4%). The category "Welfare" had the lowest indexing rate (58.9%).
Conclusion: Our data reveals that 9.8% of the references are not indexed in either database. Furthermore, in 5% of the reviews, the indexing rate was 50% or lower.

Aedes invasive mosquitoes are a serious human health concern worldwide. The Asian tiger mosquitoAedes albopictus is considered one of the world’s worst invasive alien species. It is a nuisance species and a vector of arboviruses andDirofilaria spp., causing negative socio-economic impacts. This article reports the detection ofAe. albopictus by citizens on the island of Cyprus for the first time. Specimens were collected from urban sites situated within Limassol district. Records were verified by experts, using both morphological and molecular methods. Given both the human health risks associated withAe. albopictus and with the recent rediscovery ofAe. aegypti on the island, intensive monitoring efforts and collaboration between the authorities are required to assess the current distribution of theseAedes invasive mosquitoes and rapidly implement elimination measures. Citizen scientists should be encouraged to monitorAedes invasive mosquitoes as this could significantly contribute to the surveillance and control efforts undertaken by the authorities.

Principles of law enforcement activity by public authorities
Authors: Manțuc Elena
Published: May 2023

Both the purpose of research and the study presented in the article are focused on one of the main factors, which influence, at all stages, the efficiency and social value of law enforcement activity. This factor would be the observance of principles of law enforcement activity by public authorities, which, up to present, did not get adequate coverage in either legislation or doctrinal research. It is stated that “general principles of law mean a set of guiding ideas, which, without having the precise and exact character of the regulations of positive law, guide the application of law and its evolution”. The referential framewoek of the given study is determined by the essence towards which the development of the activity of law enforcement must be oriented, their destination being the ensuring of legal, fair, and impartial law enforcement. The analysis and study demonstrated that the aforementioned principles are intended to influence the regulation not only for those who apply the law, but for the lawmaker, as well. In conclusion, a multispectral and systematic approach in the field implies a research based on the theoretical importance of the principles of the law enforcement activity that resides in their contribution to the work of creating the law as well as the efficiency of the activity of legal norms applying by the public authorities.
