Integrated Sustainability Assessment of a Residential Heat Pump System
Authors: Fischer Marie , Herceg Sina , Weiß Karl-Anders
Published: April 2024

As there is currently a lack of reliable guidance for investors to make the most sustainable choice when it comes to different renewable heating technologies for residential buildings, this contribution presents a methodological approach for a comprehensive comparison, while also addressing data requirements. A focus point of the methodology development and the sustainability assessment lies on the integration of a dynamic electricity mix to account for the continuous decarbonization in an energy grid that is more and more based on renewables. Its influence on the final environmental impact results of the presented exemplary system combining a solar thermal collector and an air source heat pump is assessed. The results indicate a significant influence of the electricity mix on the carbon footprint (- 48%) of the provided heat. The resource use is only slightly changed (+ 3%).
Methodological features of the research of the robotization in the industry through the prism of political-economic comprehension of neo-luddism
Authors: Serhiyevich Tatsiana
Published: April 2024

The development of the robotization processes of the industry entails a kind of renaissance of research on the phenomena of Luddism and neo-Luddism. Neo-Luddism is considered in the context of an attempt to describe the reaction of a part of society to technological changes, including large-scale robotization of industry, transforming the social and labor landscape of the modern economic system, although it does not represent a complete concept and requires further scientific understanding. The purpose of this article is to identify, by turning to the political and economic features of the phenomena of Luddism and neo-Luddism, the methodological prerequisites for the study of industrial robotization, in particular the development of directions and tools for improving industrial modernization based on robotization. The use of the subject-activity approach (N.V. Gerasimov) and general scientific methods of cognition in the paper enable to describe the essence of Luddism and neo-Luddism through the prism of the clash of interests of individual social groups. A scientific discussion is presented regarding the impact of robotization of the industry on employment, and potential mechanisms for reducing the social costs of this process. The limits of applicability of these mechanisms and the political and economic grounds for their development and application are shown. It has been proven that the features of robotization of industry of specific economic systems, the effectiveness of directions and tools for improving this process, mechanisms for smoothing out socio-economic consequences and appropriating the positive effects of robotization depend on the existing balance of political and economic interests of social subjects and their groups. The obtained results can be useful in developing mechanisms for robotization of industry in the national economy and identifying potential economic and social risks arrising in this process. Further research of the impact of industrial robotization on employment in national economic systems may be of interest
Ecosystem as a mechanism of public-private partnership
Authors: Popov Artem
Published: April 2024

This very study considers the background and possibilities of implementation ecosystem in the governmental toolbar for the strategic projects.

The urgency of the problem is caused by the list of factors, including:

- negative external background, affecting the availability of resources, technologies and specialists for the implementation of transformation tasks;

- lack of socio-economic institutes which are ready to ensure the realization strategic goals at the operational level;

- the need for rapid restructuring of the national economy, which can be provided through mechanisms of operational interaction between the government, business and the population.

Most modern studies don’t analyze ecosystems as a tool for the supporting of strategic goals of the national economy.

The purpose of the study is to identify opportunities and risks for the government and society while using ecosystems in realization strategic state goals.

The purpose of the study predetermined the following tasks:

- Determination of the impact of negative external factors of the transformation of the national economy.

- The role and functions of ecosystems in the implementation of strategic objectives of the national economy.

- Scenarios and risks of ecosystem impact growth.

The following tools are used in the study: structural and institutional analyze, modeling and forecasting. The ecosystem is considered as a complex integration platform that unites consumers and producers into a single system through end-to-end sales channels, a single financial infrastructure and communication standards. As the best practices of interaction between ecosystems and the state, the experience of implementing complex projects of the largest national ecosystems was used: Sber, MTS, Rostelecom, Yandex.

The paper proposes the current scheme of interaction between the ecosystem and the government in the framework of the realization strategic transformation programs. The scheme is formed on the basis of a sophisticated business model (B2G2B2C), involving the participation of all macroeconomic agents. The scheme presents several functional contours: the formation and execution of a complex regional order (the essential contour of agent interaction), financial interaction between participants.

The second part of the study examines scenarios for the development of the relationship between the ecosystem and the state from the position of influence on society, taking into account two variables: the willingness of the state to play an active role in regulating the activities of ecosystems within the national contour; the level of favorability of external rejection for ecosystems. As a result, 4 scenarios were considered that answer the questions of ecosystem development, their contribution to public welfare, and work with innovations.
Semantic and ideological aspects of noospheric interaction in the emerging multipolar world in the context of a turn to the East.
Authors: Andreeva Elena
Published: April 2024

The article’s relevance is defined through the necessity, become mature, to rethink the world order functioning on “Western gauges” and to solve a complex of external and internal tasks in mutual connection of blocks of historical and chronological, cultural and educational, and semantic-worldview character. This article touches upon the problem of forming the multi-polar world and defining the Russia’s positions in it in terms of turn to the East. The article’s goal is to substantiate semantic-worldview vision of perspectives of interaction in it. Basic tasks included developing the noosphere approach considered as methodological basis, means semantic-worldview aspects, substantiating on this basis the idea of noosphere interaction and perspectives of its forming. It’s ascertained, that finding by Russia the national identity, allowing to take worthy place in forming multi-polar world, bases on noosphere approach. Necessity to appeal to it is strengthen in critical periods of civilizational development, being the only possible way to solve deep global contradictions. Based on this approach, the Russian authors developed noosphere teaching into paradigm of noosferism (A.I. Subetto), noosphere development (Y.V. Safroshkin), semio-sphere (Y.M. Lotman etc.), “digito-sphere” (O.A. Lavrenova). One else methodological opportunity is semantic-worldview approach (Arabist N.N. Vashkevich), getting especial relevance in the context of Russian-Arabic interaction and of reformatting the world centers of influence. Synthesis of the approaches considered serves as basis for forming the idea of noosphere interaction, which goal is revival of the Russian ethnos and its further development in the interests both of the country and of the forming multi-polar order.
Kształtowanie się nowej struktury własnościowej i prawno-organizacyjnej producentów rolnych w Rosji
Authors: Dzun Włodzimierz
Published: April 2024

Demokratyczno-rynkowe przemiany, jakie rozpoczęły się w Rosji na początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku, zapoczątkowały także żywiołowy proces kształtowania się nowej struktury organizacyjno-prawnej producentów rolnych. Podstawą tego procesu była reforma rolna (dekolektywizacja rolnictwa), zakładająca nadzielenie ziemią rolną pracowników poprzez tzw. udziały (około 12 mln osób) oraz restrukturyzację kołchozów i sowchozów. Podstawowe tendencje w tym procesie to: po pierwsze formowanie się, głównie na bazie byłych kołchozów i sowchozów nowej struktury organizacyjno-prawnej przedsiębiorstw rolnych opartej na własności prywatnej, po drugie powstanie i rozwój nowej grupy producentów rolnych, jakimi są gospodarstwa chłopskie (farmerskie), i po trzecie umocnienie się, mającej długą tradycję w rolnictwie rosyjskim, ogromnej grupy gospodarstw przydomowych. Proces ten ma swoje odzwierciedlenie w zmianach struktury zasobów ziemi i zasobów pracy, a w konsekwencji – struktury produkcji rolnej według kształtujących się form gospodarowania. Podstawowa tendencja w tym procesie to zwiększenie liczby gospodarstw chłopskich (farmerskich) i przydomowych, a zmniejszenie liczby przedsiębiorstw rolnych.
Rozwój przedsiębiorczości indywidualnej na obszarach wiejskich Podkarpacia 1995-2007
Authors: Chrapek Grzegorz
Published: April 2024

W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę określenia poziomu przedsiębiorczości na obszarach wiejskich, poświęcając uwagę czynnikom społeczno-ekonomicznym, których oddziaływanie w latach 1995–2007 wpłynęło na wzrost liczby podmiotów gospodarczych osób fizycznych. Podjęte zagadnienie aktywności gospodarczej osób fizycznych w ujęciu gminnym charakteryzuje się przede wszystkim stosunkowo dużym zróżnicowaniem przestrzennym. Zanotowany w latach 1995–2007 dynamiczny wzrost liczby pozarolniczych podmiotów gospodarczych objął 14 jednostek przestrzennych, w których wartość wskaźnika przedsiębiorczości była wyższa od 80. Analiza zróżnicowania przestrzennego rozwoju przedsiębiorczości wykazała dużą wartość wskaźnika na obszarach atrakcyjnych inwestycyjnie oraz turystycznie. Drugą strefę wzrostu przedsiębiorczego stanowią obszary położone blisko większych ośrodków miejskich oraz w bliskim sąsiedztwie szlaków komunikacyjnych. Prowadzone badania potwierdzają także, iż wzrost aktywności gospodarczej osób fizycznych ściśle wiąże się z postawami mieszkańców wsi oraz dostępnością do środków finansowych.

Biebrzański Park Narodowy jako przykład integracji funkcji ochronnej i rolniczej na obszarach Natura 2000
Authors: Bołtromiuk Artur
Published: April 2024

W opracowaniu zostały przedstawione relacje między funkcją ochronną a funkcją rolniczą realizowaną na terenie Biebrzańskiego Parku Narodowego. Siła i charakter oddziaływań rolnictwa na środowisko są bowiem szczególnie istotne na cennych przyrodniczo obszarach wrażliwych na ingerencję człowieka. Omówiono pozytywny wpływ na środowisko przyrodnicze rolnictwa ekstensywnego wspieranego polityką rolną Unii Europejskiej w ramach programów rolnośrodowiskowych, które w niewielkim stopniu ingeruje w procesy przyrodnicze i sprzyja zachowaniu równowagi środowiskowej. Wartość tego typu rolniczego gospodarowania przejawia się głównie w utrzymaniu walorów krajobrazu rolniczego oraz różnorodności biologicznej gatunków i siedlisk, co jest niezwykle ważne w odniesieniu do obszarów Europejskiej Sieci Ekologicznej Natura 2000.

Therapy During Wartime: A Case Study
Authors: Frank Ruella
Published: April 2024

The following case vignette exemplifies how the terror of war can divide even the closest of communities, compatriots, colleagues, friends, families, and uproots our very notion of who we are and who we will become. A shared powerlessness is the very place where this therapist and patient meet—a place of surrendering to the overwhelming losses that are already here and that trumpet losses soon to come. The condition for healing for both therapist and patient is found in each partner’s capacity to be with another, and all that spontaneously moves through them. Staying close to her moving-sensing experiences, the therapist offers herself as possible steady ground for the patient, who eventually reciprocates in kind. The therapist learns as much about herself in the exchange as the patient and most probably more. How could it be otherwise?
Neo-Thomistic Organicism, A Scientific-Metaphysical Perspective on Human Nature
Authors: TOPALA Valerian Sergiu
Published: April 2024

This article offers an alternative solution to the perennial philosophical problem of human nature. The view proposed is “Neo-Thomistic Organicism”, a form of dualism, of the hylomorphist type, that does not subscribe both to the extreme characteristics of Cartesian dualism, and to complementarian non-reductionist physicalist views. Our optic integrates the scientific elements of a form of biological vitalism and both shares Aristotelian-Thomist metaphysics, and alienates from Thomas Aquinas in crucial points. In this sense, our perspective is constituted as a scientific-metaphysical understanding regarding human nature, in general, and regarding the soul-body relationship, in particular. The novelty brought by our article does not lie in a completely new perspective, but in some of the morelandian modifications made to classical Thomism and in the holistic approach to the subject that integrates the relevant scientific discoveries in the field of biology and neuroscience. In opposition to Moreland, on the question of individuation, this article is proposing a hybrid approach to how substances and bare particulars possess properties. To achieve its purpose, our analytical approach will begin by offering an exposition of Thomas Aquinas treatise on human nature as it is registered in Summa Theologica, Ia, qq. 75-89, especially to outline, on this basis, some of the fundamental points in which we differ from classical Thomism. This will be followed by a presentation of our perspective, of the morelandian type, and its compatibility with scientific research in biology and neurology. Next, in order to further clarify our position, we will turn to a comparison between the morelandian perspective and complementarian naturalist-physicalist conceptions of human nature, especially of substance. At the end of this comparison we will outline the objections to the morelandian view that distinguish us from it. Finally, we will offer a response to the causal pairing physicalist objection.

Authors: Trang Vuong Thi Huyen , Chau Le Gia Bao , Ngoc Le Bao , Khanh Pham Le Gia
Published: April 2024

Cordyceps militaris is widely used in many Asian countries as a traditional medicinal material for treating various ailments. This study aims to investigate how the growth of the medicinal mushroom C. militaris is influenced by the culture medium and culture conditions in a controlled laboratory setting. The results indicate that aromatic brown rice (BT7) significantly increases the fresh weight of all three collected materials of C. militaris. Shoot length and body weight were promoted by the glucose content, silkworm pupa powder and pH of the culture medium ranging from 6.0 to 7.0, with the optimal glucose content being 30.0g per bottle. The optimal temperature for growth is between 22°C and below 25°C, with a light intensity of 600-700 lux. For higher cordycepin content, the recommended harvesting time is 65 days, while for adenosine content should be 55 days after inoculation. These findings provide valuable information to improve both the biomass and quality of C. militaris, which is crucial for large-scale production in the pharmaceutical industry.

Tiririca (Cyperus rotundus L.) como bioestimulante na germinação da soja: avaliação do efeito alelopático do extrato do bulbo
Authors: Balduino Angelo , Pereira Filho Albano Dias , Neiva Samara Alves Bezerra Brito , Machado Sergio Tulio Pereira
Published: April 2024

Cyperus rotundus L., conhecida como 'tiririca', é uma planta daninha globalmente reconhecida por sua disseminação rápida e difícil controle. Este estudo foca em explorar o potencial da tiririca como bioestimulante na germinação da soja (Glycine max). Foi utilizado o extrato aquoso do bulbo em diferentes concentrações, começando com 10 ml e diluindo para avaliar seu impacto na germinação. Surpreendentemente, concentrações mais baixas, como 5 ml, não apresentaram efeito alelopático significativo, enquanto 2,5 ml resultaram em uma taxa de germinação mais baixa. Em concentrações mais elevadas, o extrato demonstrou efeito positivo, atuando como um bioestimulante eficaz. Considerando a importância do milho (Zea mays L.) nas regiões centro-sul do Brasil, onde é cultivado como safrinha após a soja, expandimos o escopo desta pesquisa. A tiririca, pertencente à família Poaceae, emerge como uma planta invasora que prejudica o desenvolvimento do milho ao competir por nutrientes. Relatos indicam a presença de substâncias aleloquímicas em seu extrato, como ácido indolacético, fenóis, flavononas, saponinas, taninos, terpenos e esteroides. O propósito final deste estudo é integrar a tiririca como um substrato benéfico ao meio comercial, explorando seus efeitos positivos na germinação não apenas da soja, mas também do milho. A análise do extrato obtido de diferentes partes da tiririca visa não apenas compreender seu potencial bioestimulante, mas também avaliar seu efeito alelopático no desenvolvimento do milho. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão e possível aplicação prática da tiririca como uma ferramenta valiosa na promoção do crescimento de culturas agrícolas, abrindo novas perspectivas para o manejo sustentável de plantas daninhas.

Published: April 2024

U radu se istražuju suvremeni izazovi povezani s razvojem umjetne inteligencije i njezinim utjecajem na teološko-antropološki govor. U središtu je analiza transhumanističkog pokreta s njegovim obećanjima o kibernetičkoj besmrtnosti i o poboljšanju ljudske vrste. Polazeći od nekih obilježja tog pokreta, autor analizira njegove implikacije za kršćansku antropologiju. Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom dijelu pod naslovom »Neka obilježja transhumanističkog doba« analizira se transhumanizam kao melioristička filozofija u kojoj se može lako prepoznati prometejski izazov. Drugi dio pod naslovom »Umjetna inteligencija i/za novo poimanje čovjeka« obrazlaže monistički i dualistički pristup ljudskoj zbilji te nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje može li stroj misliti. Ovdje je istaknuto pitanje dataizma kao uvjerenja da su organizmi zapravo algoritmi kojima se može upravljati. Moć podataka dovela bi do nadmoći umjetne inteligencije kojoj se pripisuju božanska svojstva. Treći dio »Čovjekova stvorenost na sliku Božju versus stvorenosti umjetne inteligencije na sliku čovječju« bavi se ključnim teološko-antropološkim pitanjem o čovjekovoj vrijednosti i specifičnosti. Najprije se istražuju razne interpretacije čovjekove stvorenosti na sliku Božju, zatim autor analizira u kojem smislu umjetna inteligencija može biti smatrana stvorenjem na sliku čovječju. Zaključni dio donosi još neke teološke misli u čijem središtu se nalazi opasnost idolatrije i pitanje nepovredivog dostojanstva čovjeka.

Objetivo: Analisar o efeito da Capacidade Intrínseca na mortalidade de 30 meses em residentes idosos de Instituição de Longa Permanência. Metodologia: Estudo de coorte prospectivo realizado de julho de 2020 a dezembro de 2022 com análise de sobrevivência de idosos residentes de ILPIs brasileiras. Na avaliação inicial (M0) foram avaliados 209 idosos residentes quanto aos dados demográficos e clínicos (doenças diagnosticadas e medicações utilizadas); capacidade intrínseca segundo ICOPE nos domínios cognição, psicológico, audição, visão, vitalidade e locomotor; capacidade funcional pelas atividades básicas de vida diária (índice de Katz) e fragilidade (escala FRAIL). Após 30 meses, foi avaliada a ocorrência de óbito. Resultados: Em M0, a média da idade dos residentes era de 82 anos (±11,21), 65,07% eram do sexo feminino, 94,26% de cor branca e 88,04% tinham multimorbidade. Apresentaram alteração em quatro ou mais domínios da capacidade intrínseca 54,07% (n = 113) dos residentes, sendo o domínio mais alterado a locomoção (82,78%). Eram totalmente dependentes para as atividades básicas de vida diária 43,54% dos idosos, e 42,58% eram frágeis. Após 30 meses de acompanhamento, 33,49% (n = 70) dos idosos evoluíram para óbito. Na análise da sobrevida para óbito, houve associação estatisticamente significativa do evento com alteração em quatro ou mais domínios da capacidade intrínseca (p = 0,044). Conclusão: a alteração de quatro ou mais domínios da capacidade intrínseca está associada com óbito em residentes de ILPI.

Objective: To compare the frequency of underweight and obesity among previously hospitalized older adults and analyze their association with malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, inflammatory markers, and adverse outcomes both during hospitalization and after discharge. Methods: This secondary analysis of a prospective study, conducted at Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil, included hospitalized older patients (age ≥ 60 y). Nutritional status, body composition, sarcopenia, frailty, and outcomes were assessed. Cox regression was performed to evaluate the impact of the body mass phenotypes on clinical outcomes. Results: This secondary analysis included one hundred patients. The prevalence of obesity was 22.10%, while that of underweight was 34.60%. Individuals with underweight had a higher frequency of weaker immune response, worse inflammatory profile, higher nutritional risk, higher frequency of sarcopenia and malnutrition, longer hospital stay, and a higher incidence of mortality when compared to those with obesity. Being underweight was independently associated with higher mortality rates, even after adjustment for age, sex, muscle mass, malnutrition, and diagnosis of malignancy [adjusted HR = 2.82 (95% confidence interval 1.03 – 7.72), p = 0.044]. Conclusion: The underweight phenotype represented a worst-case scenario in hospitalized older patients.
Application of active contours in feature extraction in LANDSAT 8 and CBERS 4 images
Authors: Reiz Cleberton , Filgueiras Jordan Luiz Dourado , Evaristo Jader Willian , Zanin Rodrigo Bruno , Martins Erico Fernando de Oliveira
Published: April 2024

Digital images from orbital platforms are the main source of information for mapping and decision-making. Their use has become increasingly popular over the years and has expanded into various areas. Feature extraction in digital images has been widely researched in Image Analysis, Photogrammetry, and Computer Vision. Works related to feature extraction for the generation and updating of GISs are generally divided into anthropic features such as buildings and/or highways and natural features such as vegetation areas or bodies of water. One attractive methodology for feature extraction, especially for rivers and bodies of water, is based on active contours, formulated based on the evolution of curves, which can have parametric models (Snakes) or geometric models (Level set). In this context, this work intends to identify and compare some characteristics of parametric and geometric active contour methods and apply them to orbital images from the OLI and PAN sensors of the LANDSAT 8 and CBERS 4 satellites for feature extraction, correlating these characteristics with the parameters required in the mathematical models of active contours. The present work makes use of Digital Image Processing (DIP) methods, with the first processing stage known as pre-processing, consisting of interconnected tasks that can be used to extract some information about the objects present in the scene. Subsequently, in the processing stage, the features of interest are extracted with the help of the Fiji and Icy software using Level Set and Snake, respectively. Regardless of the method used, the results presented in this work show an extraction time compatible with application needs, as they are developed semi-automatically.
Concepções de meio ambiente apresentadas por estudantes do ensino médio: diálogos e reconstruções em uma perspectiva crítica
Authors: Castilho Lucimara Afonso , Lopes Letícia Azambuja
Published: April 2024

A maneira de debater e buscar soluções para a questão ambiental da atualidade perpassa pela visão de mundo e de meio ambiente, que são construções individuais fortemente influenciadas pelas vivências escolares. Tais visões podem ser compreendidas no bojo das representações sociais e de meio ambiente. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as concepções de meio ambiente apresentadas por estudantes do ensino médio no transcorrer de interações dialógico comunicativas. Tendo como guia a abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa foi realizada por meio da Metodologia da Investigação Comunicativa, que tem a linguagem, a intersubjetividade e a dialogicidade como pontos estruturantes para uma interação horizontalizada entre os participantes da pesquisa. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram as entrevistas em profundidade e os Grupos de Discussão Comunicativos (GDC). As análises foram realizadas com base nos trabalhos de Sauvé (1997) e Sato (2004), que organizam as representações de meio ambiente em seis categorias: como natureza; como recurso; como problema; como um lugar para viver; como biosfera e como projeto comunitário. Conforme as autoras, infere-se que tais categorias ou representações ambientais não figuram-se como conceitos fechados e acabados, mas podem ser percebidas como uma evolução dos conceitos de meio ambiente formulados, desde o início do século XX, por estudiosos da educação ambiental. Os resultados demonstraram que, dentre o total de dez estudantes, dois deles descreveram o meio ambiente representando-o “como lugar para viver”; três estudantes associaram o meio ambiente “como problema a ser resolvido”; cinco estudantes definiram o meio ambiente “como natureza”. No decorrer das interações comunicativas ocorreram reconstruções nas concepções de meio ambiente apresentadas inicialmente pelos estudantes.

As lesões cranianas traumáticas representam uma significativa preocupação de saúde pública globalmente, com ênfase nos hematomas subdural e extradural, que demandam diagnóstico e intervenção imediatos para prevenir danos cerebrais permanentes ou fatalidades. O hematoma subdural manifesta-se entre as membranas meníngeas, enquanto o hematoma extradural, mais frequente em adultos, está frequentemente associado a lesões arteriais decorrentes de traumas na base do crânio. Os sintomas variam desde perda de consciência até déficits neurológicos focais, convulsões e cefaleia, podendo evoluir rapidamente para complicações severas como hérnia cerebral e morte, sublinhando a necessidade de descompressão cerebral urgente. O estudo tem como objetivo a análise das internações e óbitos resultantes de hematomas subdurais agudos e extradurais no Brasil, no período de janeiro de 2020 a janeiro de 2024. Os dados, provenientes do DATASUS indicam que, entre janeiro de 2020 e janeiro de 2024, foram registradas 22.043 internações por hematomas subdurais e extradurais agudos, sendo 13.770 relacionadas a subdurais e 8.273 a extradurais. A região Sudeste apresentou a maior incidência, com 10.638 internações por subdurais e 3.418 por extradurais. Em relação aos óbitos, foram contabilizadas 4.297 mortes, das quais 3.510 foram associadas a hematomas subdurais e 787 a extradurais, com a região Sudeste novamente apresentando os números mais elevados. A craniotomia se destaca como a principal abordagem terapêutica para ambos os tipos de hematomas, proporcionando uma redução imediata da pressão intracraniana e diminuição da mortalidade associada. A pesquisa evidencia a alta prevalência de internações e óbitos devido a essas condições no território brasileiro, ressaltando disparidades regionais significativas e reforçando a importância de intervenções cirúrgicas precoces para evitar complicações severas e reduzir a taxa de mortalidade.

Published: April 2024

As informações relacionadas aos investimentos de infraestrutura urbana e rodoviária de um estado são um importante parâmetro para acompanhar o desenvolvimento de seu território. A quantidade de malha rodoviária não pavimentada permite ter noção da quantidade de serviços necessários para um planejamento mais próximo da realidade, vez que as obras de infraestrutura possuem um custo de implantação elevado, nesse contexto as obras hidráulicas especialmente as relacionadas a drenagem possuem papel importante nesse tipo de empreendimento, não apenas pela sua funcionalidade como também no que diz respeito ao seu custo. Tais dados permitem aos administradores públicos a realização de planejamentos pautados em métricas mais funcionais. A drenagem é fundamental na gestão de recursos hídricos, pensando diretamente nas cidades o gerenciamento adequado das águas pluviais evita enchentes, erosões e até mesmo a poluição de corpos hídricos. Os ODS relacionados com esta pesquisa são os ODS 6 “Água Potável e Saneamento”, ODS 9 “Industria, Inovação e Infraestrutura” e ODS 11 “Cidades e Comunidades Sustentáveis”. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os dados dos investimentos em obras de infraestrutura no estado de Rondônia no período de 2016 a 2022, conforme dados obtidos por meio dos processos de convênios e de contratações por administração indireta realizados pelo Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem e Transportes de Rondônia (DER/RO), órgão responsável pelas obras de infraestrutura rodoviária no estado. Os resultados obtidos foram que aproximadamente 30% da malha rodoviária de Rondônia é pavimentada, os demais 70% representam rodovias em revestimento primário. O custo médio de Drenagem em obras de pavimentação é de +/- 16,88% (R$ 359.689,90) por quilômetro (Ano de Referência 2023). Com base nos dados obtidos é possível planejar com maior segurança investimentos em obras e estudos relacionados a infraestrutura do estado de Rondônia.
Porlibras digital: um espaço virtual para ampliar o aprendizado de língua portuguesa de surdos da EJA numa perspectiva bilingue
Authors: Ribeiro Luana Machado , Correia Patrícia Carla da Hora
Published: April 2024

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos surdos trazem em si uma gama de desafios e especificidades referentes a interseccionalidade de minorias a que pertencem. O indivíduo surdo precisa de adaptações metodológicas no aprendizado de língua portuguesa, como segunda língua, alinhadas ao uso da Libras. No contexto escolar dito inclusivo, podemos perceber falhas no que diz respeito as oportunidades de aprendizagem que alunos surdos possuem, posto que a forma com a qual o indíviduo surdo adquire uma língua difere daquela de um aluno ouvinte e essa particularidade pode significar um obstáculo para esse sujeito na aquisição da língua portuguesa em sua forma escrita. Pensando nessa problemática surge a pergunta de pesquisa: O que fazer para potencializar o aprendizado da língua portuguesa dos surdos da EJA com suporte digital?  Baseado nesse questionamento, o objetivo desse trabalho de pesquisa de desenvolvimento é produzir um ambiente virtual para facilitar o aprendizado de língua portuguesa para alunos surdos, numa perspectiva bilingue trazida por Pires (2014). Pretende-se por meio desta ferramenta oportunizar o contato com a língua de forma significativa que proporcione certo grau de autonomia aos alunos surdos quilombolas, que como nos traz Mota (2016) não possuem estímulos para se apropriar de sua identidade racial e ascendência. Almeja-se, também, ampliar a possibilidade de acesso a uma metodologia específica e adaptada ao público surdo com base em Fernandez (2018), potencializando o ingresso desses alunos no ensino superior, bem como a ocupação destes sujeitos de espaços sociais de prestígios. Por isso o PorLibras Digital surge como um instrumento didático voltado ao público surdo, para o aprendizado de língua portuguesa, sob uma perspectiva bilingue, tendo a língua brasileira de sinais papel de destaque e toda uma metodologia direcionada ás particularidades do aluno surdo.

Volatility is a fundamental notion in financial markets, influencing investment decisions, risk management techniques, and market dynamics. This paper provides a thorough overview of the historical evolution and practical implications of volatility, focusing on important works and key advancements in the field. The overview begins with early conceptions of volatility and the necessity for measurement prompted by market collapses, then progresses to advanced quantitative models and computer tools. The study includes key innovations such as the Black-Scholes model, which revolutionized options pricing and pioneered the concept of implied volatility. The Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models introduced frameworks for modeling time-varying volatility, paving the way for greater forecasting accuracy. Advancements in computing techniques have made it easier to analyze high-frequency data and estimate realized volatility, providing timely insights into market trends. The review also investigates contemporary trends, such as the use of machine learning algorithms and the issues provided by cryptocurrency marketplaces. Furthermore, the article examines the various characteristics and metrics of volatility, emphasizing its multidimensional nature and diverse uses in risk management, portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, and market analysis. Practical examples show how investors, traders, and financial professionals may use volatility to navigate complex market settings and make sound judgments. Finally, the study highlights the enduring significance of volatility in financial markets and highlights the need for continuing research and analysis to improve our understanding of market behavior. Acknowledging the complexities of volatility prepares market participants with valuable understandings to manage risks effectively and capitalize on market opportunities, thus contributing to financial stability and optimal portfolio performance.
Mensenrechten op het goudschaaltje?
Authors: Westerhof Jorrit
Published: April 2024

Tijdens de coronacrisis botsten het recht op leven (artikel 2 EVRM) en het recht op eerbiediging van het privéleven (artikel 8 EVRM). Uit de analyse van toelichtingen bij drie typen Nederlandse en Belgische coronamaatregelen, alsook bij de Tijdelijke wet maatregelen covid-19 en de Pandemiewet, blijkt dat de Nederlandse en Belgische autoriteiten in de toelichtingen geen expliciete aandacht besteedden aan mensenrechten in de beginfase van de crisis. Pas na acht (Nederland) en zeven (België) maanden werden mensenrechten besproken. De aandacht voor mensenrechten in de toelichtingen groeide geleidelijk, mogelijk wegens kritiek vanuit rechtswetenschappers en belangenorganisaties. De aandacht richtte zich in België aanvankelijk vooral op het recht op leven. Na verloop van tijd ontstond er in beide landen aandacht voor recht op eerbiediging van het privéleven. In België vond die verschuiving pas plaats bij versoepeling van de maatregelen, ongeveer twee jaar na aanvang van de crisis. In de Belgische toelichtingen is vrijwel nooit expliciet gesproken over mensenrechtenbotsingen en afweging daarvan.
Naar een nieuwe grondwet met een gedifferentieerd grondwetherzieningenbeleid
Authors: Van Sasse van IJsselt Paul
Published: April 2024

De Grondwet is geen rustig bezit. De afgelopen jaren is in toenemende mate aandacht voor de maatschappelijke functie van de Grondwet. In 2022-2023 werd de Grondwet op een recordaantal punten herzien. Het meest zichtbaar waren de opname van een algemene bepaling en een nieuw grondrecht op een eerlijk proces voor een onafhankelijke rechter. In de onderstaande lezing, die op 1 juni 2023 in Utrecht werd gehouden, zet Paul van Sasse van IJsselt de oogst van deze jongste grondwetswijzigingen op een rij, om deze vervolgens te plaatsen in de sleutel van noodzakelijk herzieningenbeleid. Een nieuw grondwetsherzieningenbeleid, waarbij rekening wordt gehouden met verschillende typen herzieningen, kan invulling geven aan het nadenken over de (veranderende) aard en functie van de Grondwet en het pad vleien voor een adequate voorbereiding van toekomstige grondwetsherzieningen.
De Nederlandse Grondwet en het lidmaatschap van de Europese Unie – Is het mooi geweest?
Authors: De Waele Henri
Published: April 2024

Al meer dan 70 jaar is Nederland aangesloten bij wat inmiddels de Europese Unie heet. Het lidmaatschap van de EU is echter nimmer verankerd in de nationale grondwet. Na een korte reflectie op deze stand van zaken plaatst dit mini-essay het document in een ruimer perspectief, en wijst het vervolgens op het steeds relatievere belang van onze toch wel erg sobere constitutie. De uiteenzetting mondt uit in de these dat er potentieel een plaatsvervangende hoofdrol zou kunnen worden toebedeeld aan de inter- en supranationale grondrechtenbescherming.
