Esse trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a existência de cooperação agrícola familiar no município de Parauapebas, Pará. O método utilizado para a realização dessa pesquisa foi a pesquisa-ação, bem como o qualitativo de carácter exploratório. A coleta de dados fora realizada mediante a aplicação de questionário, na primeira feira de economia solidária do município. 11 dos empreendedores do agronegócio familiar responderam o questionário. Foi feito uma análise do perfil dos participantes, por meio do questionamento sobre idade, sexo, número de pessoas no familiar, níveis de escolaridade e outras questões, para identificar a existência de cooperação entre os respondentes. Os resultados mostraram a existência de cooperação a níveis inter e intracooperativa. Ou seja, havia cooperação entre os respondentes da pesquisa dentro da cooperativa/associação e com outras pessoas não cooperadas/associadas a seu grupo cooperativo, fator que pode estar associado a idade e nível de escolaridade dos entrevistados. Observou-se a dificuldade relacionada a cooperação econômica, que pode estar relacionada a falta de capacitação/formação técnica. Portanto, os dados revelaram a necessidade de produtores, do grupo analisado, receberem os treinamentos adequados para o desenvolvimento de suas atividades, o que pode vir a aumentar o nível de cooperação econômica entre eles, favorecendo ganhos de escala e diminuição de custos.

Published: August 2024

Os ecossistemas aquáticos, essenciais para o clima e os serviços humanos, estão cada vez mais contaminados devido às atividades humanas. O tratamento tradicional da água utiliza coagulantes inorgânicos, como o sulfato de alumínio, que pode ser tóxico e prejudicar a vida aquática. Logo, o tanato quaternário de amônio, um polímero orgânico sem resíduos tóxicos, surge como uma alternativa promissora, mas há uma falta de estudos sobre seus efeitos biológicos. O uso de bioindicadores, como a planária Girardia schubarti, pode oferecer uma avaliação mais abrangente dos impactos ambientais, considerando efeitos físicos e biológicos. No estudo, planárias foram expostas a água tratada com sulfato de alumínio e tanato quaternário de amônio por até 72 horas. Nenhum grupo apresentou mortalidade, e as análises macroscópicas, perda de fotossensibilidade e despigmentação não mostraram diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos. No entanto, o grupo exposto ao sulfato de alumínio apresentou maior incidência de necrose comparado ao grupo tratado com tanato, especialmente após 24 e 48 horas (p≤ 0,012 e p≤0,009). Após 72 horas, 30,76% dos animais expostos ao tanato e 41,66% dos expostos ao sulfato de alumínio demonstraram necrose. Ambos os grupos tiveram alterações locomotoras. As planárias expostas ao sulfato de alumínio a nível celular, apresentaram desorganização epitelial, hipertrofia das fibras longitudinais, dano testicular, tumores intestinais e perda da arquitetura intestinal, com alguns animais demonstrando também processo de cicatrização celular. Já os expostos ao tanato demonstraram redução dos rabdites, células intestinais vacuolizadas e destruição das camadas testiculares. Esses resultados indicam que as planárias são eficazes no biomonitoramento de água, detectando efeitos tóxicos de poluentes. O estudo sugere que o sulfato de alumínio ocasiona maiores danos morfológicos do que o tanato quaternário de amônio, enquanto este último afeta mais a locomoção das planárias. Ambos os tratamentos impactam a saúde das planárias, sublinhando a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre os impactos ambientais destes coagulantes.

Este estudo investigou as propriedades mecânicas do polietileno de alta densidade (PEAD), do alumínio e a microestrutura do aço VND. Os ensaios mecânicos, incluindo tração e microdureza, foram realizados para obter dados sobre resistência, deformabilidade e módulo de elasticidade dos materiais. A análise microestrutural do aço VND foi conduzida por microscopia óptica, revelando uma matriz martensítica com precipitados de carbonetos secundários na amostra tratada termicamente, enquanto a amostra não tratada mostrou apenas sujeira. A microdureza Vickers do aço VND foi superior à média indicada pela literatura, sugerindo possíveis variações nos tratamentos térmicos e processos de fabricação. Os ensaios de tração mostraram que o PEAD possui alta deformação plástica, com um limite de resistência à tração (LRT) de 36,13 MPa e deformação máxima de 415,77%, contrastando com o alumínio que apresentou um LRT de 360 MPa e uma deformação na ruptura de 12,17%. O alumínio demonstrou maior rigidez e resistência à tração, indicando sua adequação para aplicações estruturais. Estes resultados ressaltam a importância do controle de qualidade e dos processos de fabricação na definição das propriedades dos materiais.

O câncer de mama e colo uterino são os que mais acometem mulheres no contexto mundial. O câncer de mama, juntamente com os cânceres de pulmão e colorretal, aparecem entre os mais incidentes em países de alta renda, enquanto o câncer de colo do útero supera os demais tipos em países de baixa renda. A introdução do rastreamento para o câncer de colo do útero em países desenvolvidos provou que essa medida reduziu de forma importante a incidência e a mortalidade da doença e prolongou a sobrevida das pacientes. Isso, no entanto, não foi observado em países de baixa renda onde o acesso a cuidados primários e especializados é limitado. O presente capítulo tem por analisar a evolução da mortalidade por câncer do colo uterino e de mama no Brasil através de indicadores de assistência à saúde e socioeconomicos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa retrospectiva documental, através da base de dados extraídos do sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade, os denominadores populacionais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, e os indicadores socioeconômicos e assistenciais do Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica e Aplicada, onde foram analisados dados da década de 80 a2022. Evidenciou-se que no Brasil houve queda de mortalidade por câncer de colo uterino em todo o território exceto nas regiões Norte e Nordeste e a partir da década de 90 um declínio no câncer de mama no Brasil nas regiões metropolitanas. Ao passo que houve declínio da taxa de fecundidade pode-se relacionar esse fato aos indicadores socioeconômicos e a taxa de mortalidade por câncer de mama no interior do país, ainda mais prevalente. Os resultados sugerem um mecanismo dinâmico entre exposições de risco determinantes no aparecimento doscânceres de mama e colo do útero. A queda da mortalidade por câncer do colo uterino foi evidenciada nas regiões Sudeste e Sul e nas regiões metropolitanas do Norte eNordeste. Os óbitos por câncer de mama começaram a diminuir nas regiões metropolitanas no Sul e Sudeste. A mortalidade declinante do câncer de colo do útero pode refletir a proteção conferida pelo teste de Papanicolaou, porém não se observa esse fato no interior das regiõesNorte e Nordeste. A mortalidade é atenuada em função de melhor acesso a medidas diagnósticas e terapêuticas.

O presente trabalho aborda o impacto das vibrações mecânicas, especialmente aquelas causadas pelo transporte ferroviário, nas estruturas de concreto, bem como, medidas para mitigar esses efeitos. Inicialmente, discute-se a importância do concreto na construção civil e a sua composição básica, destacando a introdução de armaduras de aço para superar a baixa resistência à tração do concreto simples. Em seguida as vibrações mecânicas são definidas como oscilações de um sistema estrutural em torno de uma posição de equilíbrio, e a ressonância é identificada como um fator crítico que pode amplificar os danos estruturais. O trabalho se classifica como uma revisão bibliográfica qualitativa, e revela que vibrações contínuas de fontes como o transporte ferroviário podem causar danos adicionais nas bases de fundação e fadiga nos materiais estruturais, resultando em fissuras e trincas. Estudos confirmam que a coincidência entre a frequência das vibrações externas e a frequência natural da estrutura pode comprometer significativamente a integridade estrutural.

As práticas integrativas, complementares e/ou conhecimentos populares são um conjunto de técnicas que se assemelham às práticas de cuidados pessoais, como a cura, prevenção e tratamento, e que podem ser usadas para complementar ou ajudar tratamentos convencionais com medicamentos. Elas foram desenvolvidas com o objetivo de prevenir patologias, especialmente na atenção primária, e promover a saúde e recuperação do usuário, contribuindo para sua inserção na sociedade e qualidade de vida, resgatando a conexão entre o ser humano e a natureza. O objetivo do estudo foi fazer uma revisão da literatura, dando ênfase aos benefícios de práticas integrativas complementares e aos profissionais da saúde que empreendem nessa área. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com a abordagem qualitativa, usando como método de coleta de dados o fluxograma de prisma. A técnica de Bardin foi aplicada para análise, utilizando cruzamentos dos termos "Saúde", "Empreendedorismo", "Práticas Integrativas Complementares" e critérios de elegibilidade. Após uma análise criteriosa dos artigos, foi possível notar uma grande escassez de estudos sobre o tema em questão. Vale salientar que os estudos mostram que os profissionais da saúde não têm conhecimento sobre a aplicabilidade e propriedades das práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde, mas uma parte deles decidiu investir na promoção da saúde com o uso dessas terapêuticas. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que as práticas integradas e complementares em saúde devem ser cada vez mais divulgadas para os profissionais de saúde e a população, a fim de aproveitar os inúmeros benefícios que possuem.

Social services trauma?
Authors: Kaźmierczak Tomasz
Published: August 2024

The essay puts forward the thesis that contemporary Polish social services (social work) suffer from a kind of trauma, the source of which is their cutting off from their historical roots and, consequently, the deprivation of a tradition that has institutional continuity. This state of affairs is one of the sources of their continuing weakness. Polish social services traditions emerged in the period up to the outbreak of World War II, and they were formed by three strands – three types of institutionalized social practice, each of which also had its own development potential. These were: the social care strand growing out of the experience of 19th-century public charity, the people's house movement, and the social work strand developed in the 1930s among graduates of the Study of Social and Educational Work. As a result of the War, and then stalinism, almost all of this output was destroyed; the institutional continuity of the people's house movement and social work was irretrievably broken, only the tradition of social care was referred to. Within this framework, the profession of social worker was created in the 1960s – so to speak – from scratch, the institutional design of which was – and remains today – based on the 19th-century model of visitors of the poor.
Being a good neighbour – about supporting older people in the context of neighbourhood services
Authors: Subocz Elżbieta
Published: August 2024

The aim of the article is to present the idea of neighbourhood services, which were introduced into the catalog of benefits of the social assistance system under the amendment to the Social Assistance Act at the end of July 2023. Their implementation is possible from November 1, 2023. Neighbourhood services should be understood as support provided to lonely people who, due to age, illness, or other reasons, require the help of other people and for whom their immediate family is unable to provide this support. The services may include assistance in meeting basic living needs, hygiene and nursing care that does not require specialized knowledge and competences and ensuring contacts with other people. Support is provided by people living in the neighbourhood of the person in need. The work of caregivers-neighbours is rewarded in cash by the commune, whose council specifies in a resolution the detailed conditions for granting these services, their size and scope, and the method of settling their performance. The article presents the idea of neighbourhood support in theory and practice, as well as legal provisions regarding neighbourhood services in accordance with the Social Assistance Act. The last part of the text is devoted to good practices in the field of services and neighbourhood care in Poland and USA.

Published: August 2024

Research has been carried out on seismic hazard microzonation in the city of Bau – bau using microtremor data. The aim of this research is to determine the seismic vulnerability index based on horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis and create a dominant frequency microzonation map (F0), dominant period map (T0), amplification factor map (A0), and seismic vulnerability index map (Kg) from microtremor data which can describe the level of vulnerability of an area to seismic hazards. Microtremor measurements were carried out using a portable three-component seismograph (TDS. 303), the data was analyzed with gepsy software via the HVSR method. The research results show that the distribution of dominant frequency values ​​(F0), ranges from 0.4795 Hz to 16.6383 Hz, dominant period values ​​(T0), ranges from 0.0601 seconds to 2.0854 seconds, amplification factor values ​​(A0), ranges from 1.2285 to 4.9043, and the seismic vulnerability index (Kg) value ranges from 0.1043 to 11.0276. The values ​​(F0), (T0), (A0), and (Kg) are interpreted by referring to literature data and surface geological maps of the research area. The results show that the study area has a small portion of sediment layers that are vulnerable to seismic hazards.
Student Perceptions of DEI in Conservation: An Assessment of an Undergraduate Course
Authors: Morales Nia , Lowe Benjamin , Clancy Keara
Published: August 2024

Few undergraduate courses in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors provide meaningful focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) or addressing biases in science. Embracing DEIJ during this stage is essential for equipping students to participate constructively in solutions to these longstanding challenges, especially as the career landscape continues to evolve. This study focuses on a course designed to address this gap by providing students with the opportunity to critically reflect on the founding principles of conservation, to understand the long term impacts that colonialism, racism, and sexism have had on the field, and to introduce students to diverse perspectives (i.e. other ways of knowing; indigenous perspectives), thus providing a more holistic understanding of the structures and influences on modern conservation. Overall, we found that students responded very positively to the course and showed strong interest in these topics, including how addressing DEIJ could impact and improve the conservation field. Our experience suggests a broad desire among students for more DEIJ content that gives them a more holistic understanding of the conservation field and provides inclusive practices that address the long-standing issues in our field.

In spite that HLIs in Tanzania use web-based systems for managing, storing and processing of HLIs information and data such as website contents, academic results and financial records. The HLIs web-based system have been compromised by attackers due to presence of vulnerabilities. The main objective of this study is to assess the vulnerabilities of Students Records Web-based Systems (SRWBS) for private and public Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in Tanzania using black-box testing methodology by employing two automatic vulnerability scanners namely OWASP ZAP (Open Webs Application Security Project Zed Attack Proxy; open-source tool) and Acunetix (proprietary tool). This study assesses the vulnerability of SRWBS for 3 private HLIs and 5 public HLIs in Tanzania. The results reveal the total of 29 vulnerabilities which include but are not limited to Broken Authentication and Session Management, Broken Access Control, Security Misconfiguration, Sensitive Data Exposure, Vulnerable JS (Java Script) Libraries, CSRF (Cros Site Request Forgery), Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities, XSS (Cross Site Script), DOM (Document Object Model) based XSS and Reflected XSS. SRWBS of public HLIs were found more vulnerable by average 44.2% than the SRWBS of private HLIs which were vulnerable by average of 37%. Based on these results, this study provides some recommendations for mitigating vulnerabilities and improving the security of SRWBS for private and public HLIs in Tanzania.

Lashata V2, 3.Coker 310 V3) Water samples were collected from the wells and some on-site tests were conducted for them, and then the physical examinations were performed, represented by ( their electrical conductivity, refractive index, surface tension, density and viscosity) as well as the chemical tests that included (acidic function, total dissolved salts, total hardness, and positive ions such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and ions) The negative results represented by chlorides and sulfates in them. The results showed that there are differences between the wells in all the measured characteristics due to the difference in the geological nature between the wells because some of them contain gypsum and lime components that are soluble in water. Plant height, number of fruiting branches, number of blooming bolls and total yield of cotton blossom per unit area (kg/hectare).
Lindely’s method to estimate the parameters of the univariate truncated t Regression Model using informative prior information
Authors: Hussain Elham Abdulkreem
Published: August 2024

In this paper, the parameters of the truncated t-regression model were estimated, in which the response variable follows a two-sided truncated t-distribution, and its parameters were estimated by an approximate Bayesian technique according to Lindley's method. Parameters were estimated when ?2 and ? were unknown when the truncated t regression simple linear model was univariate. Informative prior information are used to estimate the parameters of the univariate model when the truncating points and the degree of freedom are known and with different cases of them .
 On the application side, experimental samples were generated by using the inverse function method. The application was carried out by relying on the Matlab program (14b) and according to different sample sizes, which are 10, 20 and 30 with degrees of freedom 3 and 6, truncated points were selected from two sides ranging within the following periods:  ( -3 , + 3 ) , ( -2 , + 2 ), ( -1 , + 1) , as well as for one term only, once from the left side for intervals (-3,0), (-2,0), (- 1.0) and the other from the right side for the periods (0, +3), (0, +2), (0, +1), and the risk function was relied on in measuring the preference in relation to the sample size or the degree of freedom. It was concluded that the inverse relationship between the risk function on the one hand and the sample size and degrees of freedom on the other hand, as the increase in the sample size leads to a decrease in the risk function and also the greater the degree of freedom the more this leads to a decrease in the risk function.
It was also concluded that the breadth of the truncated area leads to a decrease in the value of the risk function.

The recently used the technology of biologically producing gold particles, although not much is known about it, its effect on the plant and its development, the extent of the plant’s ability to withdraw it from the growth medium, the mechanism of its transfer to the plant and its sedimentation within it, the percentages of its accumulation and its sizes, and how it affects the plant positively or negatively. The current study aimed to reveal Gold (Au) particles in the mycelium of Fusarium oxysporum, isolated from the soil of the fields of the Agricultural Technical College, Mosul, as well as in the vegetative parts of the Indian and wild variety of mustard plant. At a concentration of 6 ml and a size of 20.90 nm. As for the two cultivars of the mustard plant, 0.2% gold particles were found in it, while the leaves of the wild variety did not have precipitation of particles, and the particle size ranged from 20.90-776.73 nm. Particles were detected using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique and an EDX meter.
Altered 16S rRNA gene size in Agrobacterium tumefaciens at IC50 of heavy metals
Authors: Younus Fathi Ayman
Published: August 2024

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil-endemic bacterial species that causes crown galls disease on a range of medicinal and economically important plants. In this study, the diagnosis of this bacterium was confirmed by its formation of crown galls on the discs of carot. And when treated in a laboratory with eight different heavy metals (Mo, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni, and Pb), and with ten concentrations (40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.312, 0.156, 0.078 mM/ Metal), it was found to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of these bacteria by microtiter plate method, especially when the concentration was increased. The size of the 16S rRNA gene in bacteria resistant to these metals varied at the half inhibitory concentration IC50 from the comparison sample with volume values of about 1500, 1000, 1000, 1500, 1500 , 1500, 1500, 1500, and 1000 base pairs, respectively.

A decade after the escalation of the crisis: how probable is the membership of Ukraine in the European Union?
Authors: Mikić Vladimir
Published: August 2024

At the last day of February 2022, Ukraine applied for membership in the European Union. This happened eight years after Russia has taken over Crimea, while engaging in the military support of the pro-Russian forces in Donbas region seceding from Ukraine. The country under military intervention was granted the European Union candidate status in June 2022, along with Moldova and Georgia, four months after the beginning of the Russian attack. Today, eight more countries are in the process of accession to the European Union, none of them being victim of an intervention.
Two decades after the so-called Orange Revolution, and ten years after the initial Russian intervention, Ukraine has been stepping forward the European Union membership status. Exactly ten years have passed since the last enlargement of the bloc (in 2013, Croatia joined the Union), potentially signaling the most expressive period of the enlargement fatigue. In the era during which the skepticism for the enlargement is gaining momentum, it is of importance to explore whether Ukraine’s membership is truly acceptable, bearing in mind that the country is the victim of an ongoing intervention, being the first candidate country at war.

The cost of commonly available culture media is a source of concern for many researchers, highlighting the need to explore more cost-effective alternatives or reduce the use of additives. Despite limited research in this area, efforts have been made to identify alternative culture media that are economically viable for cultivating microorganisms. This study explored the potential of beetroot extract as a cost-effective medium with col-or-inducing properties for fungal growth and as a chromogenic medium for testing lipase enzyme production efficiently as one of the rapid differential tests. The results indicated that Beetroot Agar Medium (BAM) offered significant cost savings in fungal cultivation while facilitating rapid fungal growth compared to other expensive and time-consuming media. Within a 3-4 day incubation period at a temperature range of 25-27 ˚C, all isolated fungi exhibited robust growth. Furthermore, the medium successfully served as a chromogenic differentiating medium by inducing fungi to produce lipase. These findings have broad implications for bio-technology and industrial applications, providing a sustainable and efficient alternative for microbial cultivation.
Trinitarian Analogies in the "Cassiac Dialogues": Philosophical and Theological Analysis
Authors:   Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary, Samoilov Nikolay
Published: August 2024

The article deals with the problem devoted to the analysis of the provisions of the Italian professor of the Pontifical Institute of Patristic Studies "Augustinianum" Nello Cipriani, described in his work entitled "Christian sources of the doctrine of the Trinity in the first dialogues of Blessed Augustine". The author makes an attempt of theological and philosophical analysis of the degree the ancient philosophical tradition represented by Neoplatonism influenced the Christianized thinking of Aurelius Augustine. In this regard, a part of Blessed Augustine's earlier writings is of particular value. These works are named after St. Augustine's place of residence in Cassisiac, and therefore called the "Cassiciacum Dialogues", the corpus of which includes three of his work: "On Order", "On the Blessed Life" and “Against the Academicians”. Also in this paper, the principled position of Nello Cipriani on the rejection of any influence of ancient philosophy on Augustine's understanding of the Christian Trinitarian doctrine is shown. This kind of position is the antithetical position of the French scientist Olivier Du Roy. Solving this problem, Cipriani tries to prove inaccuracy in the interpretation of Blessed Augustine’s texts, artificially created and used by du Roy to support the provisions he put forward about the prevailing influence of the pagan world on Augustine's personality. In addition, the failure of du Roy's thesis does not stand up to criticism regarding Augustine's use of Trinitarian analogies in the "Cassiciacum Dialogues" and the use of Christian sources of knowledge in them. Thus, the idea of the Italian professor Nello Cipriani considered in the article takes on the features of a true, historical fact.
The phenomenon of foolishness for Christ. A review of the modern Russian literature. T. Goricheva
Authors:   Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary, Gurin Stanislav ,   Saratov State University
Published: August 2024

The article reviews the modern Russian literature (after 1991) devoted to the study of the phenomenon of foolishness for the sake of Christ. Holy fools are the rank of saints of the OrthodoX Church, who bore a special spiritual and ascetic feat, which consisted of abandoning the generally accepted norms of life and accepting for the sake of humility a special way of behavior that looks like the behavior of a person deprived of reason. Foolishness for Christ's sake is a rare form of holiness, specific, exceptional. Foolishness for Christ's sake has a historical and cultural framework. This is a phenomenon of Orthodoxy, mainly Russian Orthodoxy of the Middle Ages. A comparison is made between Orthodoxy and postmodernism. Unlike Orthodoxy, postmodernism rejects any hierarchy both in society and in existence, denies absolute existence, and especially the personal Absolute.
