Published: May 2024

La conservation de la biodiversité marine et la mise en place des aires protégées aquatiques sont devenues un challenge planétaire.  Ainsi, l'utilisation continue d’engins de pêche non sélectifs nécessite une évaluation complète et continue. Dans cette optique, les taux de  capture et les aspects socio-économiques de la pêche à la senne de plage dans la Réserve Aquatique (RA) de Mandji-Etimboué ont été  examinés en utilisant un suivi de débarquement comme approche méthodologique. Les résultats ont montré que les prises par unité  d'effort moyenne (CPUE) des senneurs de plage est de 393,29 kg/coup de senne. L’analyse comparative entre les CPUE de 2017 et  2021 a montré une diminution de 490,9 kg/sortie de pêche en saison des pluies et une augmentation de 5.08 kg de poissons/sortie de  pêche en saison sèche. La diminution de l’effort de pêche et la hausse du CPUE dans cette pêcherie de la senne de plage de Mandji- Etimboué a montré que les ressources halieutiques dans la RA de Mandji-Etimboué sont en bonne santé. Mais, un travail étroit entre les  communautés locales et les administrations doit être mis en place. 
 
English title: Characterization of beach seine fishing in the Mandji-Etimboué Aquatic Reserve (Gabon)
The conservation of marine biodiversity and the establishment of aquatic protected areas have become a global challenge. Thus, the  continued use of non-selective fishing gear requires a comprehensive and ongoing assessment. With this in mind, the catch rates and  socio-economic aspects of beach seine fishing in the MandjiEtimboué Aquatic Reserve (AR) were examined using landing monitoring as a  methodological approach. The results showed that the average catch per unit effort (CPUE) of beach purse seiners is 393.29 kg/seine  haul. Comparative analysis between CPUE in 2017 and 2021 showed a decrease of 490.9 kg/fishing trip in the rainy season and an  increase of 5.08 kg of fish/fishing trip in the dry season. The decrease in fishing effort and increase in CPUE in this Mandji-Etimboué  beach seine fishery has shown that fishery resources in the Mandji-Etimboué RA are in good health. However, close collaboration  between local communities and administrations is needed.

Beyond Aesthetics: Ekphrasis and the Poetic Engagement with Art
Authors: Zamani Alavijeh Hossein
Published: May 2024

The present study examines ekphrasis as a conduit for facilitating a more profound and meaningful engagement with the mysteries of the works of art and as a means of transcending established notions of aesthetics, dismantling the conventional subject/object dichotomy, resisting the pervasive technological enframing of our world, and fostering a mode of dwelling characterized by its poetic essence. The study aims to demonstrate that by intertwining language and visual representation, ekphrasis challenges our assumptions regarding the nature of beauty, invites us to see beyond the surface of things and opens us new possibilities for understanding and interpretation. Anchored in the philosophical framework of Martin Heidegger, the investigation illuminates the potent role of ekphrasis in disrupting customary modes of perception, compelling a reconsideration of our engagement with art in a manner that aligns with authenticity, immersive involvement and poetic mode of dwelling to cultivate a deeper embeddedness in the world and to foster a sense of wonder and appreciation in our encounter with the interconnectedness of entities.

Authors: Igielska-Kalwat Joanna
Published: May 2024

The aim of the articles was to popularize the upcycling trend in the production of sustainable cosmetics and to confirm their effectiveness. For thousands of years, people have been looking for new ways to improve their appearance. To take care of their beauty, women and men around the world, in addition to using the best cosmetics and treatments, want to introduce sustainable care to alleviate the negative impact of consumerism on the environment. One of the most noticeable trends is the development of pro-ecological solutions used in everyday life, but also in industry. Manufacturers emphasize the production of more environmentally friendly raw materials. Conscious consumers choose cosmetics whose production is based on sustainable development. Instead of using waste from various industries, we used it to produce active substances used in hair cosmetics. We created the production of the collagen series in accordance with the assumptions of upcycling, obtaining collagen water that is waste generated during the production of supplements. The main aim of the work was to create cosmetic recipes for styling, washing and conditioning hair based on collagen waste, as well as to compare the results of subjects using the product in question.

Análise de sensibilidade do desempenho bifacial em usinas fotovoltaicas no Nordeste do Brasil
Authors: Prates Thais , Conrado Augustus de Melo
Published: May 2024

Módulos bifaciais e mecanismos de rastreamento solar vem sendo amplamente empregados em usinas fotovoltaicas para melhorar seu desempenho, no entanto, a falta de estudos relativos à sensibilidade destas tecnologias se configura como uma barreira para sua expansão no país. Neste estudo foi investigado o desempenho de uma usina fotovoltaica de 30 MW a ser instalada no estado da Bahia, Brasil. Foram analisados cenários com instalações monofaciais, bifaciais, de inclinação fixa e com rastreadores. Através de simulações computacionais empregando o software SAM, foram calculados os ganhos devido ao rastreador, irradiância solar traseira e bifacialidade. O ganho médio anual do rastreador foi de 9,5% para sistemas monofaciais e 8,7% para sistemas bifaciais. O ganho médio anual bifacial foi de 6,3% para sistemas de inclinação fixa e 5,5% para sistemas móveis. A análise de sensibilidade demostrou que, para a região o efeito do albedo tem maior influência no desempenho do sistema do que a altura de instalação, apesar da elevação dos módulos também refletir uma melhora no rendimento. Para maximizar o desempenho bifacial das usinas é sugerida a modificação da refletividade do solo e a elevação dos módulos. O revestimento do solo da usina com concreto e a elevação da altura de instalação dos módulos para 2,5 metros maximiza os ganhos anuais bifaciais de 6,3% para 20% na planta de inclinação fixa e de 5,5% para 17,4% na planta móvel. Pintar o concreto na cor branco e elevar a altura de instalação para 2,75 metros, maximiza ainda mais o rendimento da usina, alcançando ganhos de 24% na planta de inclinação fixa e 21% na planta móvel.

Authors: Vasconcelos Tatiana Cristina , Nascimento Amanda Moreno do , Silva Diêgo de Lima Santos , Santos Joselito
Published: May 2024

A incorporação do espírito lúdico em um processo de ensino-aprendizagem torna-o significativo, enriquecedor e produtivo tanto para os educadores quanto para os alunos. Destarte, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar como a presença da ludicidade no processo de alfabetização. Para tanto, buscou-se compreender os conceitos de lúdico e alfabetização, bem como, identificar suas implicações no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A proposta metodológica pautou-se em uma revisão da literatura com base em artigos científicos publicados nos 2022-2023. No diálogo com os pressupostos teóricos de: Vygotsky (1979; 1984; 2007), Sommerhalder e Alves (2020), Ferreiro (2001), Kishimoto (1993), Soares (1998; 2003; 2020), Huizinga (1980), Freire (1987), Kramer (2019) e Luckesi (2002), dentre outros, bem como nos artigos analisados foi possível perceber que a ludicidade como prática alfabetizadora proporciona um aprendizado mais prazeroso, capaz de facilitar no processo de apropriação da escrita. Entretanto, é pertinente salientar, que para usar o lúdico como ferramenta pedagógica, o educador precisa planejar e buscar embasamento teórico para nortear sua prática. Portanto, conclui-se que será de extrema importância o desenvolvimento de estudos empíricos que envolvam a ludicidade no processo de alfabetização e de letramento visando promover aprendizado com prazer.

Theory of situational privacy and self-disclosure posits that perceived levels of privacy are determined by perceptions of the environment, and that certain levels of privacy are necessary for self-disclosure. In video consultations, auditory and visual aspects of the doctor’s environment can cause patients to experience more or less privacy. To provide empirical evidence for these theoretical assumptions, we conducted a 2 (auditory environmental factor: doctor wearing headphones vs. not) by 2 (visual environmental factor: doctor showing the entire office vs. not) between-subjects scenario-based experiment (N = 163). Participants imagined themselves in a video consultation with a doctor and reported their information and territory privacy concerns and willingness to disclose to the doctor. Results showed that the ability to see the doctor’s entire office led to lower information privacy concerns, which – in turn – were associated with increased willingness to disclose medical information to a doctor. Wearing headphones by the doctor did not affect privacy concerns and self-disclosure. Manipulations of both the auditory and visual environment were not significantly associated with territory privacy concerns. These results provide direction for further research on environmental factors and their impact on patients’ privacy concerns and self-disclosure during medical video communications.

Published: May 2024

A Stroke is a disease when there is insufficient blood supply to the brain, which causes cell death. It is currently the world’s biggest cause of death. Upon examining the affected individuals, a number of risk variables that are thought to be connected to the cause of stroke have been identified. Numerous studies have been conducted to predict and categorize stroke disorders using the risk variables. The majority of the models are built using machine learning and data mining technologies. In this work, we have employed four machine learning algorithms to identify the type of stroke that may have happened based on medical report data and an individual’s physical condition. We have gathered a sizable amount of hospital entries. This study employs many methodologies, including decision trees, Naive Bayes, ANN algorithm, and Random Forest algorithm. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the mentioned algorithms and determine which one does the task more accurately. After completing all of the evaluations, we can conclude that the Random Forest method has the highest accuracy of all the algorithms with 99%.

Authors: Taha Aihan
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The Kurdistan region of Iraq had been affect by the covid pandemic like the rest of the part in the world and Duhok city specifically faced several problems as the city and health policy were not ready to ace the crises. It had a negative impact on the sustainability of health sector specifically the economic side. This study tries to identify the problems to achieve tan appropriate standard of good health among Kurdistan's general population, especially in the city of Duhok, to ensure more equitable access to health services throughout the country's social and geographic expansion, take into account poverty and to strive to get better treatment, understand the condition of the city of Duhok via COVID-19, and how the government deals with the medical system in this condition,  protect and encourage the right to health care for individuals and  create equality in the health care system for both genders, beliefs and positions.
Methodology: Through conducting the qualitative research approach by using two types for collecting data ( Data Collection Methods) which are primary data and secondary data, primary data for collecting direct information from patients and IDPs and refugees to know their health conditions and whether they are satisfied or not for public health system, physicians as well to know their treatment to patients, and secondary data to gather information from health directorate in Duhok city, camp health administration and humanitarian health organizations to understand better the situation.
Findings: The findings of the study indicates that the pandemic struck at a time when public faith in the government was low, the economy was damaged by lower oil sales income, protests were common across the country, and violent extremist acts were on the rise. COVID-19 has worsened long-standing and sometimes deep-seated political, economic, social, and security issues. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic loss of human life around the world, posing an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems, and the workplace. The pandemic's economic and social impact is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people is currently estimated to be nearly 690 million, By the end of the year, the number could have risen to 132 million.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Food security, public health, and employment and labor issues, particularly worker health and safety, all intersect during the COVID-19 crisis. However, in Azadi hospital we cannot talk to people because of virus, the risk of contracting COVID-19 via an infected person's feces appears to be low. The COVID-19 virus may cause intestinal infection and be found in feces, according to some data.

The study investigates students’ GPA data before and during Covid-19 to see how this environmental change has affected the GPA distribution among college students during Covid-19. The data consists of 537 students from the School of Law at Sultan Qaboos University SQU who attended the Spring 2019 and Spring 2020 semesters before and during the Covid-19 outbreaks. The study reveals that the students’ environmental change during Covid-19 has affected their performance, and several students’ subgroups are more vulnerable than others. The students’ performance differences in distance learning decreased compared to face-to-face learning, revealing a convergence trend in performance. Male students seem to be less vulnerable in distance learning than their female students’ counterparts. Most of the changes in students’ performance during Covid-19 are led by male students, especially in poor and excellent performance categories. Specifying the most susceptible students benefits policymakers in the education field, which precisely aims at helping the most vulnerable students in distance learning.

BIOMIMÉTICA, DARWINISMO E DESIGN DE PRODUTOS: UMA SINTONIA EVOLUTIVA NA INOVAÇÃO TECNOLÓGICA
Authors: Sena Paulo Sergio de , Sorbile de Souza Adriano José , Tavares Matias Nelson
Published: May 2024

O avanço em direção a uma sociedade orientada pela inovação destaca o Design de Produtos como um terreno promissor para explorar novas abordagens, conforme destacado por Kumar (2012). Duas perspectivas emergem como influências: a biomimética, que se baseia na inteligente imitação da natureza, e a aplicação de princípios darwinistas, introduzindo uma dinâmica evolutiva no Design. Enquanto a biomimética busca inspiração na diversidade biológica para gerar soluções inovadoras, harmonizando forma e função, a abordagem darwinista enfatiza a competição e a adaptação constantes, espelhando o cenário empresarial contemporâneo. A seleção natural proposta por Darwin encontra paralelos no funcionamento do capitalismo de mercado, onde as organizações mais adaptadas prosperam, enquanto as menos aptas enfrentam dificuldades semelhantes à competição entre espécies na natureza. Economicamente e socialmente, a competição no mercado age como um ambiente de seleção natural, incentivando os designers a aprimorarem continuamente suas criações para sobreviver e prosperar em um ambiente comercial em constante mudança. A biomimética eleva a natureza ao status de mentora do Design, inspirando soluções inovadoras que transcendem a estética, permeando a funcionalidade e a eficiência dos produtos resultantes, enquanto a aplicação de princípios darwinistas ao Design de Produtos traz uma perspectiva evolutiva, onde a competição, seleção natural e adaptação contínua desempenham papéis fundamentais. Essas abordagens coexistem e se entrelaçam em uma dança sinérgica, se enriquecendo mutuamente para gerar soluções inovadoras e adaptáveis, impulsionando a inovação em um ciclo contínuo de evolução no Design de Produtos.

ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence is a concept that is frequently the focus of everyday life, and its application
leads to changes in various areas of modern business. Today, artificial intelligence has proven to be
significant in all social areas of the daily life of individuals and business organizations. The application of artificial intelligence results in the formation of a marketing strategy and a public relations
strategy (English abbreviation PR - public relations) about the primary target group for business organizations such as customers or users, employees, suppliers, owners, etc. Using several data such as
revenues, market share, brand value, liquidity, long-term customer value and probability of customer
retention, artificial intelligence can provide results that we will apply in the creation of strategic
plans related to public relations and marketing. Various artificial intelligence systems help analyze
large amounts of data and help identify the most loyal customers, classify customers into groups,
and plan an appropriate marketing and public relations strategy. This paper aims to show the contribution of artificial intelligence in the creation of strategic plans related to marketing and public
relations of business organizations.

Published: May 2024

Over the past decades, journalists and public relations (PR) professionals have had a challenging
relationship. In their work, journalists rely on PR practitioners to provide them with accurate information on time, while PR professionals count on journalists to report information objectively.
This mutual dependence raised questions regarding their perception and cooperation. Even though
many studies have been conducted to determine and analyze their relationship, they covered the PR
field in general. This study focuses on political communication; more precisely on PR professionals
working in state and public institutions in Croatia, and observes their mutual perception and cooperation with journalists. Quantitative research was conducted in March 2023 among journalists
and PR professionals working in state and public institutions. An online questionnaire measuring
twelve aspects of their mutual perception and cooperation was completed by 75 journalists working
in different media institutions and 50 PR professionals employed in state and public institutions. The
results showed significant differences between the two samples in terms of their mutual perception
and cooperation. The results contribute to the existing literature on the PR-journalist relationship by
pointing to a specific group of public relations professionals, observing and analyzing their cooperation with journalists.
Keywords: public relations professionals, journalists, media, public and state institutions.
SPORT AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
Authors: Tomić Ivan
Published: May 2024

Sports have the unique ability to unite fervor and vigor for a common goal. For his universal value, sport
has the enormous potential to create a more positive and sustainable future for all. Sport is inseparable
from society, and it’s also inseparable from the national feeling and national identity. Politics and sports
are so closely related that it is difficult to imagine that they could be kept separated, with politics remaining unrelated to sports. There are various perspectives from which this association might be evaluated.
Every national sports organization bases its operations on regional aspects and recognizes and uses regional social structures and cultural identities. In turn, the national association members refer to certain types of regional identity. The identity creation and expression process contributed to contemporary
sports’ historical development and global dissemination. Sports can have different aspects on social life,
and in this paper, we fundamentally focus on positive and negative aspects.
