The Pattern of Employment in Nigeria between 1981 and 2014
Authors: Adeniyi Adetunji
Published: May 2021

Unemployment is a major macroeconomic malaise in Nigeria. It has been high and rising over the years across dictatorship, democratic, administrative, and economic regimes. In the process sectoral employment transitioned from the productive sectors of agriculture and manufacturing to services sectors of trade and services and administration sectors of the economy. This study examined the patterns of unemployment and the transitioning of sectoral employment during the economic growth period between 1981 and 2014.It concluded that, despite the fact that economic growth was a common factor, unemployment worsened during democracy, and more so under the Yar’Adua / Jonathan administration. Unemployment was best managed under the military, ironically, and better under the Obasanjo administration, respectively.
Factors Affecting Sectoral Employment in Nigeria during the Period of Growth (1981-2014)
Authors: Adeniyi Adetunji
Published: May 2021

The Nigerian economy was characterised with high levels of unemployment during the periods of substantial growth between 1981 and 2014. Various economists described the growth regime as “jobless”. Sectoral differences were, also, observed with regard to their job absorptive capacities. Time series secondary data covering 1981 to 2014 on the rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and sectoral Gross Value Added (GVA) at 2010 constant basic prices, employment, wage rate, inflation rate and interest rate were collected from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). The variables were extracted from statutory publications of the institutions, collated and summarised into a table of data. The unit root test was carried out to test for stationarity of variables. The data was analysed using VECM at α 0.05. The result shows that wage rate, inflation rate, and interest rate all affected employment negatively across sectors. Gross Value added affected employment positively in the non-agricultural sectors, but negatively in the agricultural sectors. Inter-sectoral linkages and dependences also peculiarly affected job creation positively or negatively.
Investigation of Job Satisfaction Levels of Tennis Coaches Who Work in Higher Education Institutions According to Personal Variables
Authors: Dumangöz Pero Duygu
Published: May 2021

According to some personal variables, this study examines tennis coaches’ job satisfaction levels in higher education institutions. A total of 50 tennis coaches, 16 women (32%), and 34 men (68%) took part in the study. The coaches included in the study are examined in three categories as 26 years and younger (34%), 27-29 years old (34%), 30 years old and above (32%). Two forms were used as tools for data collection. The first one of these forms is a 6-question form created by the researcher to determine tennis coaches’ characteristics. The second one is the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Weiss et al. in 1967 and translated into Turkish by Baycan in 1985. Baycan also conducted the validity and reliability studies of the scale in 1985. The analysis of the data was done in SPSS 26.0 statistics package program. Percentage and frequency distributions were examined in the statistical analysis of the data, independent sample t-test was performed to evaluate the differences between two groups, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was made to determine the difference between more than two groups, and Scheffe test was performed to determine which groups the difference was between. p significance level was accepted as 0.05 (p < 0.05). As a result, there was no statistically significant difference in job satisfaction levels of tennis coaches according to gender, education level, coaching level, and work experience (p > 0.05), while there was a directly proportional relationship between the age variable and job satisfaction levels (p < 0.05).
Off-White Romantics: Cross-cultural Histories of Immigrant Picture Brides and the Process of US Race Making
Authors: Vaggalis Kathryn
Published: May 2021

The stories of early twentieth-century Japanese picture brides—women in arranged marriages coming to the United States to meet the immigrant men to whom they were married by “proxy” according to the popular press—are widely known in memory, scholarship, and popular culture. Less is known about their Southern European counterparts—primarily women from Greece, but also Italy and Armenia—coming to the country at the same time, and to much less public outcry and legislative restrictions. Yet as this article demonstrates, the title of “picture bride “ was prominently and popularly applied to Southern European and Japanese women alike as a politically charged racial signifier that provides nuance to the complex yet fluid racial hierarchies of the early twentieth century. This article closely examines popular media depictions of “off-white” picture brides using Greek immigrants as a case study—the predominant European group practicing picture marriage from 1907 to 1924—to demonstrate the quotidian ways that audiences learned the politics of race and immigration through seemingly apolitical messages about family, marriage, and romantic love. This work argues that far from being a mere footnote in Greek American history, picture brides and their popular depictions in national newspapers were critical symbols of Greeks’ transition from “in-between” white others to ethnic white Americans. By contextualizing picture marriage as occurring across a diverse racial hierarchy, this work illumines the ways that white supremacy acts in contradictory, often hypocritical ways, excluding some groups while excusing and including others.
Elderly people in isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (research report)
Authors: Subocz Elżbieta , Ratuszyńska Katarzyna
Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of empirical research carried out in December 2020 among 59 elderly people – participants of activities organized by The Communal Home of Mutual Aid "POMOST" in Olsztyn. During the research, the method of Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) was used. The main research problem was focused on the question: how do the participants of the activities organised by The Communal Home of Mutual Aid „POMOST” in Olsztyn cope with the forced isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic? The statements of the surveyed elderly people show that they have knowledge about the pandemic, which they learn mainly from the mass media. Half of them feel anxious about the pandemic. Due to limited interpersonal contacts, they contact family and friends mainly by phone. During the forced isolation caused by the closure of the institution, the respondents report that they lack special events, various types of games, physical exercises and music classes, which are a form of therapy and enable social integration with other participants. Respondents need support in shopping and visiting a doctor, as well as in everyday activities. Most of them have telehealth consultations with a doctor, they also have access to the e-prescription service. More than one in three respondents took the vaccine against the coronavirus, but almost the same number of respondents do not want to be vaccinated.

(In)visible fathers in social work with the child and family
Authors: Ciczkowska-Giedzun Małgorzata
Published: May 2021

This text explores the issues of (in)visibility of fathers in the process of helping and supporting the family, little recognized in the Polish reality of social work with children and families. Despite the ongoing discourse about the engaged fatherhood, fathers in social work are still seen from the perspective of absence, danger and exclusion. They are much less involved in the family support process than mothers. The reason why so few men are actively involved in these activities is not only because of their physical absence in their families, but also because of the difficulty in involving them in the interventions experienced by social workers. There are few studies on this issue in the Polish literature. More data on the reasons for the situation is provided by research conducted by scientists from other countries - they show the reasons why cooperation with men is difficult. These studies are the subject of the analysis of the presented considerations. The analysis was carried out taking into account three perspectives: social workers, fathers and mothers. The whole inquiry is complemented by reflections on the change in the organization of the helping process so that fathers become visible subjects in social work with the family.
People aged 60 and over - a challenge and an opportunity for the Polish social policy
Authors: Młyński Józef
Published: May 2021

In an ageing society, over-60s’ problems take an important place in the social policy. The State should be prepared for various implications, both positive and negative, of the ageing of the population, and should treat the potential problems of citizens as a challenge and an opportunity for the development of social policy, and within its framework, the policy aimed at the senior citizens. The senior citizens, by all means, constitute an important age group. This type of policy should be focused on both early and late old age people, addressing their different needs and expectations.
This article attempts to show the challenges and the role of social policy addressed to the seniors, both at the early and late old age, especially at the local community level. The impact of the article is analysed in the three dimensions described, i.e. a brief outline of the ageing of the population from a demographic perspective, social policy towards seniors at the early and late old age, the challenge the 60 and over pose to the local policy versus their resources.

Shared-care model for complex chronic haematological malignancies
Authors: Cheung Verna , Siddiq Nancy , Devlin Rebecca , McNamara Caroline , Gupta Vikas
Published: May 2021

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of rare Philadelphia-negative chronic leukemias. Disease rarity has resulted in limited expertise concentrated in specialist centres. Patients are often referred to such expert centres for diagnostic issues, complex decision-making, access to novel drugs through clinical trials, and supportive care. Attending such appointments may increase financial and travel burden, increase caregiver stress, and negatively impact quality of life. To address this, the MPN program at Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre has implemented a shared-care model, working with local healthcare providers to provide ongoing management, and supportive care for MPN patients closer to home. This decreases patient travel burden, while maintaining high-quality patient-centered care. In this article we share our experience implementing the shared-care model. This model is potentially applicable to other chronic hematological malignancies and rare chronic diseases. The ultimate goal of shared-care is not to centralize care, but instead to build a community of accessible care for the patient.
Incorporating reflective writing & art therapy in my palliative care practice
Authors: Stilos Kalliopi , Burgoyne Katherine
Published: May 2021

The specialty of palliative care routinely focuses on the complex needs of patients living with incurable illness and their families’ emotional and psychosocial concerns. Healthcare professionals who work with patients with advanced illness sometimes suffer from frustration and anxiety when they return home from caring for dying patients. The psychosocial care that increases patient and family satisfaction is sometimes lost when nurses are suffering (Pendry, 2007; Freeman, 2013). Continuous exposure to such difficult situations and the accumulation of unrecognized feelings and attitudes can lead to physical and psychological challenges (Pereira et al., 2011). As such, nurses have a duty to maintain their health to the best of their ability. To encourage nurses in promoting emotional health, Freeman’s (2013) CARES tool (Comfort, Airway management, Restlessness and delirium, Emotional and spiritual support, and Self-care) was integrated into our organization’s Comfort Measures Order Set for imminently dying patients (prognosis <72 hours) (Stilos, Wynntchuk et al., 2016).
Intégrer l’écriture réflexive et l’art-thérapie à sa pratique de soins palliatifs
Authors: Stilos Kalliopi , Burgoyne Katherine
Published: May 2021

La spécialité des soins palliatifs se concentre bien souvent sur la prise en charge des besoins complexes des patients souffrant d’une maladie incurable et des préoccupations émotionnelles et psychosociales de leur famille. Les professionnels de la santé qui travaillent avec des patients atteints d’une maladie à un stade avancé sont parfois anxieux et frustrés lorsqu’ils rentrent chez eux après s’être occupés de patients mourants. Quelquefois, lorsque les infirmières souffrent, elles ne peuvent plus assurer les soins psychosociaux qui contribuent à la satisfaction des patients et de leur famille (Pendry, 2007; Freeman, 2013). L’exposition permanente à des situations aussi difficiles et l’accumulation de sentiments et de comportements qui ne sont pas pris en compte peuvent conduire à des difficultés physiques et psychologiques (Pereira et al., 2011). C’est pourquoi les infirmières se doivent de préserver au mieux leur santé. Pour inciter les infirmières à promouvoir la santé émotionnelle, nous avons intégré l’outil CARES (Comfort, Airway management, Restlessness and delirium, Emotional and spiritual support, Self-care [confort, prise en charge des voies respiratoires, agitation et délire, soutien affectif et spirituel et autosoins]) de Freeman (2013) à l’ensemble des mesures de confort définies par notre organisme pour les patients mourants (pronostic < 72 heures) (Stilos, Wynntchuk et al., 2016).
Dilemmas of European Migration Policies: Failure of Sea Rescue in the Mediterranean or Successful Externalization of Borders?
Authors: Schneider Patricia
Published: May 2021

Discussions about migration and security are often characterized by emotions and symbolic images, for example of capsizing, overcrowded boats with desperate people or of seemingly unmanageable queues of migrants in front of border crossings. State and non-state actors confront these uncertainties through maritime migration with different missions. This article provides an overview of these missions over time and in the context of refugee routes used. Different understandings and a lack of regulations have their core, among others, in the fact that classical sea rescue of shipwrecked seafarers differs from the phenomenon of induced distress situations for unauthorized border crossing. Reception seems morally imperative, but political consensus is lacking. The obligation to rescue endangered persons at sea as well as to examine asylum claims after border crossings are being circumvented partially. In governing the migration issue, the EU and its member states face several dilemmas. The article highlights selected dilemmas of European migration policies and addresses the question of whether we are witnessing a failure of sea rescue in the Mediterranean or a successful externalization of borders. In the outlook, policy options are outlined.
The Supreme Court of India and the Inter-Institutional Dynamics of Legislated Social Rights
Authors: Mukherjee Gaurav
Published: May 2021

The jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of India is generally celebrated in the academic literature for its creative use of constitutional interpretation to read in certain socioeconomic rights into the ‘right to life’ provision despite their textual absence from the Constitution. However, this line of case law made the obtainment of a judicial remedy highly conditional upon an extant scheme or law, was necessarily piecemeal, deferent to the executive, and incapable of fixing precise accountability upon a violation or addressing issues of systemic material insufficiency. Much of this had to do with the absence of a rights-based legislative framework. The enactment of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (MGNREGA) and the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) presented major developments in the livelihood and food security regimes in India, and a leap forward for legislated social rights. These legislations consolidated, expanded and entrenched a number of existing rights which had come into being through judicial decisions. In this paper, I examine the antecedents of social rights in India, and show the afterlife of disagreements over appropriateness, practicality and affordability, which resulted in the adoption of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in the Indian Constituent Assembly, persist in legislative design and judicial reasoning. In this paper, I analyse judicial treatment of these laws and propose a novel theoretical framework for better understanding them. The theoretical framework has discursively antagonistic and discursively catalytic components, and sheds light on the inter-branch institutional dynamic which arises when NFSA and MGNREGA based public interest litigation (PIL) is activated. I suggest that such PIL and the kinds of complex, dialogic remedies which result from them have effects in the political, legal, and social fields. These remedies result in a form of hybridized politico-legal accountability that enables the Supreme Court of India to safeguard its institutional capital, while also being able to better engage with concerns such as polycentricity, democratic legitimacy, lack of expertise, federalism, and the separation of powers.

Published: May 2021

Increase in global warming poses a severe threat on agricultural production thereby affecting food security. A drastic reduction in yield at elevated temperature is a resultant of several agro-morphological, physiological and biochemical modifications in plants. Heat tolerance is a complex mechanism under polygenic inheritance. Development of tolerant genotypes suited to heat extremes will be more advantageous to tropical and sub tropical regimes. A clear understanding on heat tolerance mechanism is needed for bringing trait based improvement in a crop species. Heat tolerance is often correlated with undesirable traits which limits the economic yield. In addition, high environmental interactions coupled with poor phenotyping techniques limit the progress of breeding programme. Recent advances in molecular technique led to precise introgression of thermo-tolerant genes into elite genetic background which has been reviewed briefly in this chapter.
Vitamin D and Its Relationship with the Pathways Related to Thrombosis and Various Diseases
Authors: Mohd Syed , Sharma Swati , Mishra Aastha , Zahid Ashraf Mohammad
Published: May 2021

Vitamin D known for its vital role in diverse biological function such as calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, also exert an anticoagulant effect emphasizing its essential role in the thrombosis pathogenesis. Thrombosis is the formation and propagation of a blood clot or thrombus either in the arterial or the venous system resulting in several severe complications. Various studies have also reported the association of vitamin D deficiency with the increased incidences of thromboembolism. This may be in part due to its anticoagulant effects through upregulation of thrombomodulin, an anticoagulant glycoprotein, and downregulation of Tissue Factor, a critical coagulation factor. The protective effects of vitamin D and its receptor in endothelial cells may further explain some of the reported beneficial effects of vitamin D in the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the immunomodulatory role of vitamin D has been observed through its ability to alter the secretion of inflammatory cytokines that can induce a procoagulant milieu by multiple pathways. Therefore, it becomes pertinent to discuss the close link between vitamin D and human health and to improve our knowledge of the molecular pathways regulated or influenced by vitamin D and its associated metabolites.
Cardiac Cysticercosis: Current Trends in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
Authors: Karoline Medina Néri Ane , Oliveira da Costa Lino Danielli , da Silva Veras Sara , Pereira Silva Ricardo , Bezerra da Silva Júnior Geraldo
Published: May 2021

Cardiac cysticercosis is a rare infection and its diagnosis is usually incidental, as most patients are asymptomatic. Laboratory and imaging tests, such as echocardiogram and cardiac nuclear magnetic resonance, can also be used in the diagnostic approach. The clinical manifestations are broad and patients can present with symptoms that range from heart failure to arrhythmias. Treatment of this condition has been scarcely studied and no protocols have been well established to date. One can choose not to treat the asymptomatic cases or to use cestocides, in the case of symptomatic individuals. Patient monitoring through cardiac enzymes and electrocardiogram during treatment is recommended, as well as performing imaging tests after treatment. This chapter aims to discuss cardiac cysticercosis, divided into sessions that will cover everything from its epidemiology and clinical aspects to diagnostic methods, therapeutics and treatment monitoring, with emphasis on the most current aspects.
Cost Effectiveness of Poultry Production by Sustainable and Renewable Energy Source
Authors: Cui Yuanlong , Xue Xuan , Riffat Saffa
Published: May 2021

Poultry farming is one of high energy consumption and energy-intensive industries that requires significant amount of fuel fossil to provide the desired internal temperature for health and production level of chicken, which results in high running cost and growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Renewable and sustainable energy technologies are being employed in the area of poultry farming in order to achieve energy saving, GHG emission reduction and to some extent supply potential selective benefits for farmers. Therefore, it is very necessary for generalizing the state-of-the-art technologies including the solar photovoltaic, solar photovoltaic/thermal, ventilation and wind turbine, air/water/ground sources heat pump and thermal energy storage. It is demonstrated that the system energy saving could achieve up to 85% with a payback time of 3–8 years, compared to the conventional heating system.
Radical Virtue and Climate Action
Authors: Hole Benjamin ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: May 2021

Radical virtue serves two distinct purposes: consolation in unfavorable circumstances, and prescription to achieve better ones. This paper maps out the theoretical nuances important for practical guidance. For a Stoic, radical virtue is a way to live well through environmental tragedy. For a consequentialist, it is an instrument to motivate us to combat climate change. For an Aristotelian, it is both. I argue that an Aristotelian approach fares the best, balancing the aim of external success with the aim of living well through practical wisdom. This involves criticizing assumptions about living well that underlie behaviors that contribute to climate change. Some might object virtue theory suffers from application problems, and an Aristotelian approach suffers even more because it does not tell the virtuous person how to negotiate her aims. In response, Aristotelian revision starts with moral perception that adds valuable content by navigating through the messiness.

Práticas pedagógicas interculturais: (re)conhecendo as diferenças em sala de aula
Authors: Santos Rosane Barreto Ramos dos , Queiroz Paulo Pires de
Published: May 2021

A revisão bibliográfica proposta neste artigo dialoga com as contribuições de Candau (2008; 2011; 2012); Moreira (2008; 2012; 2013) e Walsh (2009), desenvolvendo uma reflexão sobre a escola básica e as diferentes culturas que habitam seus espaços. Este trabalho reflete sobre os papeis desenvolvidos na escola e sobre os aspectos culturais que permeiam esses espaços, os quais podem variar entre uma educação monocultural e/ou intercultural. Aponta a interculturalidade como uma forma diferenciada de elaborar teorias e práticas educativas, problematizando-se a urgência da valorização da diversidade cultural presente nos espaços escolares, (re)conhecendo e valorizando as culturas trazidas pelos sujeitos ao espaço escolar, estimulando comunicações dialógicas entre elas. Torna-se necessário que a igualdade e as diferenças sejam valorizadas, empoderadas e estimuladas a comunicarem-se democraticamente, despertando o interesse dos indivíduos, sujeitos do processo escolar, no sentido de compreender que não é possível resolver as diferenças e muito menos padronizar a igualdade como acontece nas práticas monoculturais. Nesse sentido, a escola tem o papel desafiador de tornar professores e alunos agentes multiplicadores de ideias e práticas mais inclusivas dentro e fora dos espaços escolares através de seus currículos prescritivos. Diante desse cenário, conclui-se que a interculturalidade surge como uma alternativa viável para que os conteúdos pedagógicos não homogeinizem a aprendizagem conforme analisado ao longo do artigo. Propõe-se que, através do diálogo e do reconhecimento das diferentes identidades em níveis de igualdade e diferença, seja possível constituir uma sociedade democrática a partir do chão da escola.

Published: May 2021

Objetiva-se analisar que aspectos teóricos e práticos da metacognição, da programação de computadores e da robótica estão sendo abordados em teses produzidas em língua portuguesa no campo da Educação. À vista disso, procede-se a uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, exploratória, por meio de procedimentos predominantemente bibliográficos, do tipo estado do conhecimento. Para delimitação do corpus documental, filtraram-se as teses no período de 2013 a 2017, que constam no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes, Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação com nota 7 no sistema de Avaliação Capes, RCAAP e B-On. Em um processo de ruptura dos pré-conceitos, 57 pesquisas foram filtradas, resultando-se em 17 teses para analisá-las. Para isso, utilizaram-se três categorias gerais: programação de computadores, metacognição; scratch, metacognição; e robótica, metacognição. Além dessas, outras quatro específicas: programação de computadores; robótica; scratch; e metacognição. Em síntese, por meio da análise do título, das palavras-chave, do resumo e do sumário, 13 teses contemplaram as categorias, sendo três consideradas como gerais e que agregam as temáticas em investigação. O estudo associando tais temáticas revela-se incipiente, porém promissor, pois, diante das fontes pesquisadas, mostra carência de pesquisas nessa esfera. Por outro lado, possibilita a ampliação para um estado da arte que poderá validar o resultado obtido.
Jung, Hillman e a educação: por outras lógicas na formação docente
Authors: Ostetto Luciana Esmeralda , Seixas Cristiana Garcez dos Santos
Published: May 2021

Como profissão relacional, a docência convoca à ampliação do olhar e da escuta para suspeitar dimensões além das fronteiras demarcadas pela unilateralidade da função pensamento. Que formação poderia contribuir para abrir passagens nessas fronteiras? Este artigo tematiza a formação docente, baseando-se em dados de duas pesquisas que, desenvolvidas com autorias e tempos distintos, privilegiaram o encontro com professoras em exercício e/ou em formação inicial, mediado pelas linguagens artístico-expressivas, propondo e discutindo perspectivas de formação estética. Um fio que atravessa as duas pesquisas é o conceito junguiano de arquétipo da criança e, com ele, o núcleo da discussão proposta para o artigo é tecido, visando apresentar as contribuições de Carl Gustav Jung e James Hillman para a educação e, sobremaneira, para a formação docente. Acolher a teoria dos arquétipos, visibilizar a criança simbólica que habita o indivíduo e destacar a função sentimento, conteúdos presentes na teoria dos referidos autores, possibilitou refletir e perspectivar sobre a necessária (res)significação da jornada de formação e reafirmar: é preciso abrir espaço a outras lógicas, de modo a aproximar consciente e inconsciente,  cultivar e agregar outras forças que influenciam a ação humana, integrar pensamento e sensibilidade, poesia e saber científico.
Potential absorption of mercury-contaminated substrate by Trichoderma sp isolated from Brazil Nuts and Amazon Soil
Authors: Oliveira Antonio Ferreira , Florentino Alexandro Cezar , Ferreira Adriana Maciel , Ferreira Irlon Maciel , Costa Ivana Fonseca , Carvalho José Tavares
Published: May 2021

Mercury is an inorganic contaminant with serious harmful consequences to the environment. There has been a continuous rise in its level due to industrialization and other anthropogenic activities, such as the burning of coal and petroleum products, use of mercurial fungicides in agriculture and mercury catalyst in industries, and production of waste by paper industries. Five strains of Trichoderma sp., a filamentous fungi, were used in this study to evaluate their resistance to high concentrations of mercury for the purpose of using them for bioremediation. The solid culture medium used was prepared with malt agar 2% with pH 7.0 in which the strains of Trichoderma sp. were inoculated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the selected Trichoderma sp. isolates was calculated considering the time for growth and concentration of the mercury salt (Hg(NO3)2). At a mercury concentration of 50 mg/mL, maximum growth was first observed in TCH 1 (89.42 ± 0.63 mm) followed by TCH 2 isolate (87.33 ± 0.58 mm). At this concentration, all isolates reached the maximum mycelia growth. When the concentration of 200 mg/L Hg(NO3)2 was used, complete growth inhibition of the isolates was observed. Scanning electron microscopy suggested that differences in sporulation between the control and mercury treatment groups. In conclusion, it can be stated that Trichoderma isolates have great potential for bioremediation of sources contaminated with mercury.

As paisagens culturais consistem em um elemento resultante da conversão de componentes naturais em outros usos da terra, processo que acarreta na perda de naturalidade das paisagens e interfere na provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos. Nesse sentido, a análise dos padrões de mudanças do uso da terra e avaliação da naturalidade fornecem bases para a compreensão dos problemas ambientais e da interferência humana nos sistemas naturais. Frente ao exposto, o presente trabalho buscou verificar às mudanças de uso e cobertura da terra no município de Sorocaba (SP) entre 2007 e 2017, bem como a realização da análise da naturalidade através do Índice de Urbanidade (IB). Os resultados mostraram o predomínio de atividades do agronegócio e áreas urbanas. Reduções na classe agrícola e aumento da vegetação nativa foram constatadas. Em relação à Urbanidade, ocorreu o predomínio de categorias que indicam baixa naturalidade e alta interferência antrópica, mas com o incremento da vegetação nativa, ocorreu um aumento das áreas com alta e média naturalidade. O IB possibilitou verificar a relação dos usos da terra e naturalidade em uma paisagem cultural e apontou elementos que podem ser considerados no planejamento.
Public health significance of atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. Recently, mortality and morbidity from CVD have shown a trend in its occurrence in earlier years, while these diseases have been associated with older age until recently. In developed countries, mortality from diseases caused by atherosclerosis has decreased over the last 50 years. However, such a trend is not reflected in both underdeveloped and developing countries where mortality remains high. Risk factors have been identified and their control can influence the reduction in morbidity and mortality from CVD associated with atherosclerosis. Among these, the so-called variable risk factors are the following: increased concentration of LDL cholesterol fraction (LDL) and/or decreased concentration of HDL cholesterol fraction (HDL), hypertension, cigarette consumption, diabetes mellitus/metabolic syndrome, improper diet, while genetic predisposition is still considered to be an invariable risk factor. In order to reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis, the World Health Organization recommends a two-pronged approach that includes public health interventions to reduce population risk factors and medical interventions for individuals at high risk with stricter surveillance of risk factors. Examples of multisectoral public health interventions include increasing taxes on cigarettes and alcohol, followed by a massive campaign to promote physical activities and healthy diet, that is to promote healthy lifestyles.
During a crisis caused by a pandemic, it is best to invest In green energy

Numerous analyzes show that various factors, including mass vaccination and better virus control, have helped to change policy of job restraint and closure, especially in the SME sector. The governments of almost all countries have recognized that geographically targeted and sector-specific measures are more acceptable to the people and thus reduce the negative economic consequences of a pandemic. However, the fact is that the health risks are still very pronounced, so it is necessary to establish a balance between public health measures against the virus and measures to support workers and companies affected by the consequences of the pandemic. The question is: where to invest during the pandemic, and especially after, when the pandemic passes? In this paper, we will talk about the measures of the state to help the economy, now that it is the most difficult. In particular, we will talk about sectors that have a future, and are related to the energy sector (especially RES), economy and environment.
The fortresses in RN Macedonia in function for enriching to tourist offer
Authors: Dimitrov Nikola
Published: May 2021

The tourist potentials of the medieval fortresses in RN Macedonia as a medieval heritage in the context of cultural and historical tourism are often neglected, but the practice in other European and even in Balkan countries shows that this segment of history can be used at a very high level. The purpose of this paper is to explore the fortresses in order to enrich the tourist offer in RN. Macedonia. Archaeological excavations have identified about eighty medieval fortresses and other fortifications on the territory of the country. The mentioned fortified settlements appear in different time periods from prehistory, through antiquity to the Middle Ages. There is a generally accepted opinion that the formation of tourist cultural routes would lead to better protection and presentation of the cultural monument and their activation in use for tourist purposes. The formation of a new tourist product is a big step in the formation of an attractive tourist offer, and in this case it is the Macedonian medieval fortresses. In the framework of this paper, the research is aimed at a narrow selection of medieval fortresses that can offer attractive content to tourists. The analysis and evaluation uses known and recognized qualitative - quantitative and comparative research methods, procedures, criteria and activities for tourism valorization.

Published: May 2021

Today's human population got dependable on cyber technologies bringing us a lot of benefits as well as nightmares. Some studies suggest that there are several billions internet connections worldwide and they are not only in hands of the Legal Forces, but rather with the criminals, terrorists and the other harmful actors. So, as we all are dependable on new technologies - our opponents are at the same position as well. Through this research article, we plan to talk about the challenges of the organized crime to modern societies, their impacts to world's population, culture and economy and finally provide some correlations between the cyberspace and the criminal environment suggesting how some heavy cases in criminology could get investigated using computers, web and mobile technologies.
El ruido en el mar: ¿es necesario abordarlo desde el principio de precaución?
Authors: Morelle Hungría Esteban
Published: May 2021

El ruido en mares y océanos es uno de los más complejos contaminantes que existen y ello es una muestra de la necesidad, imperiosa, de que juristas se pongan a analizar tal compleja situación desde un planteamiento ecosistémico y a escala multinivel. Vemos como la contaminación acústica subacuática dispone de mecanismos e instrumentos jurídicos de control y regulación, sin embargo, parece que todavía los impactos que generan son de tal intensidad que existen ciertas lagunas, quedando mucho por descubrir. Desde este posicionamiento analizamos la necesidad de seguir bajo el prisma del principio de precaución o bien, priorizar sobre otro de los principios funcionales del Derecho ambiental, el de prevención.

Underwater noise is one of the most complex pollutants that exist and this is a sign of the imperative need for jurists to analyze such a complex situation from an ecosystem approach and on a multilevel scale. We see how underwater noise pollution has mechanisms and legal instruments for control and regulation, however, it seems that the impacts they generate are still of such intensity that there are certain gaps, leaving much to discover. From this position we analyze the need to continue under the prism of the precautionary principle or, to prioritize over another of the functional principles of environmental law, prevention.
Sociologie, éthique et politique
Authors: Sabourin Paul
Published: May 2021

Le projet de la sociologie comme science du social semble marginalisé aujourd’hui. Plutôt que d’appréhender une crise de la sociologie, cet article vise à explorer les modalités d’une coopération élargie entre les sociologues, coopération nécessitant de clarifier les rapports à l’éthique et à la politique propres à cette forme de connaissance qu’est la sociologie. Pour ce faire, il s’agit d’abord de revenir sur une proposition antérieure d’orienter la sociologie vers un travail qui se définirait collectivement comme « un pluralisme sous contraintes » (Berthelot, 2003 : 35). À partir de l’étude des fondements et des limites de cette approche du travail collectif des sociologues, il est proposé de mieux tenir compte à la fois des conditions générales de l’état des savoirs sociaux et des conditions nécessaires pour constituer une dialectique interne à la sociologie, afin de permettre l’autogestion par les chercheurs d’un projet circonscrit à l’explication de l’irréductibilité sociale de la vie humaine.
Standardisation de l’éthique, utilité sociale de la recherche et rapports de pouvoir
Authors: Bernheim Emmanuelle
Published: May 2021

Les principes de l’éthique de la recherche visent à assurer la protection des participant.es, notamment par l’expression de leur consentement libre et éclairé et le respect de leurs volontés. En pratique, c’est la signature du formulaire de consentement qui formalise la participation volontaire et est garante de la compréhension des paramètres de la recherche, y compris les risques qui y sont associés. Certains contextes de recherche se prêtent cependant mal à ce formalisme. C’est le cas des terrains de recherche menés incognito dont l’utilité et la pertinence scientifiques et sociales ne sont plus à démontrer. Or la mise en oeuvre discrétionnaire par les comités d’éthique de la recherche des exceptions aux exigences formelles concernant le consentement des participant.es soulève différentes questions, dont celles de l’interprétation du risque, de la confiance accordée aux chercheur·es, de la prise en compte des spécificités de la recherche-action et des contraintes spécifiques au milieu communautaire. Dans cet article, à partir d’une expérience de recherche-action menée en clinique juridique, je démontrerai que, sous couvert de bonnes intentions, la standardisation de l’éthique encourage lestatu quo, plaçant la recherche au service des institutions de pouvoir et contribuant à invisibiliser certaines expériences et certains discours marginalisés.
