The Hidden Costs of Disability
Authors: Merchant Zofsha , Troland Erin , Webber Douglas
Published: January 2025

Disability can be devastating financially for households, as it can severely limit earnings potential (Meyer and Mok, 2019; Benito, Glassman,`and Hiedemann, 2016; Jolly, 2013). The earnings penalty for households with disabilities is estimated to range from 15 to 70 percent of earnings, depending on the nature of the disability (Meyer and Mok, 2019). Households receiving disability insurance (either employer-based or via Social Security) receive payments based on their prior earnings to help account for this earnings penalty.
¿La agricultura familiar ha muerto? Notas preliminares para una genealogía del concepto en el caso argentino.
Authors: Caballero Luis
Published: January 2025

El presente ensayo se propone aportar elementos para una genealogía del ciclo de la agricultura familiar en el caso argentino. En la primera sección se caracteriza el contexto de surgimiento del concepto de agricultura familiar y nos preguntamos si el ciclo de agricultura familiar abierto durante estos últimos 30 años ha operado -o no- como una tensión a la normalización de las luchas previas por la soberanía alimentaria. En la segunda sección se presenta una primera aproximación a una genealogía de estos 30 años de ciclo de la agricultura familiar, proponiendo una secuencia intercalada de periodos e hitos que -en opinión del autor- lo han configurado. Finalmente, en la tercera sección se plantean algunas conclusiones y preguntas que quedan abiertas ante la actual crisis del ciclo de la agricultura familiar.
Género y generaciones en la Agricultura Familiar Capitalizada. Estudio de caso: Oeste paranaense brasilero.
Authors: Ferro Silvia Lilian , Díaz Morán José Abraham
Published: January 2025

Este artículo identifica características propias del estrato socio-agrario denominado Agricultura Familiar Capitalizada (AFC),el cual desde la segunda mitad del Siglo XIX hasta el presente tiene significativa influencia política, económica, social y cultural en espacios rurales de la Cuenca del Plata. Se aplica tanto el enfoque de género como generacional en la organización del trabajo familiar y su interrelación con el trabajo productivo, en un estudio de caso en el oeste paranaense brasilero desde el año 2019, siendo parte de una investigación de mayor alcance territorial y temporal. El diseño metodológico está basado en muestreo no probabilístico con aplicación de cuestionarios. Los resultados muestran que persiste un sesgo patriarcal en la toma de decisiones y de gestión del patrimonio en los ámbitos familiares y productivos. La pervivencia de este patrón tradicional sería uno de los factores endógenos que amenaza la continuidad generacional y de sobrevivencia de la empresa familiar agraria. Sin embargo, comienzan a evidenciarse en las nuevas generaciones algunos cambios relacionados con expectativas más equitativas en la distribución entre hombres y mujeres de responsabilidades tanto familiares como productivas.

Authors: Andrew Y Finlay Professor
Published: January 2025

There are a substantial number of published systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the use of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Of the 3,776 results found in PubMed by searching for “DLQI” or "dermatology life quality index" (filtered for “systematic review” or “meta-analysis”), 142 are categorised as systematic reviews, and 89 as meta-analyses. Likewise, searching Ovid-EMBASE found 9804 results for the DLQI, of which 532 are tagged as systematic reviews and 310 meta-analyses. Searching SCOPUS found 6607 results with 417 systematic reviews and 265 meta-analyses (all searches 24/10/24). Although the DLQI is the most widely used outcome measure internationally in dermatology, there is currently no source of information to give current and future users of the DLQI structured access to reviewed studies and meta-analyses.

Authors: Danie Al Malik Muhammad , Kadek Dita Cahyani Ni , Wahyu Anggoro Aji
Published: January 2025

This pipeline was developed to process MinION nanopore data output for metabarcoding purposes. The process begins with raw FASTQ data from nanopore base-calling output and includes several steps: quality filtering with NanoFilt, primer removal and length trimming with Cutadapt, artifact detection with Chimera, and building an Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) table with VSEARCH. Taxonomic assignment is then performed using Blastn. Additionally, this pipeline integrates an R script to build a taxon table format suitable for assignment in a phyloseq object. All processes were tested and run from the terminal on a Linux system using the Ubuntu distribution. This pipeline ensures a streamlined workflow, facilitating the analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) data.
Innovative and Customized Protocol for Simplified Biological Analysis of Tendon Tissue Samples v1
Authors: Yang Dongwook
Published: January 2025

Analyzing the mechanical properties of biological tissues presents unique challenges due to the inherent limitations of using living cells and the small physical dimensions of most tissue samples. Traditional mechanical testing equipment designed for larger, more rigid materials often proves unsuitable for such analyses. In this study, we present an innovative and simplified protocol for evaluating the mechanical properties of tendon tissues. Using a customized uniaxial material testing system, we modified existing methods to accommodate the specific needs of small and flexible biological samples. Tendon specimens, including patella and Achilles tendons, were prepared and mounted with film paper grips, enabling secure fixation and precise measurement. The samples were subjected to tensile testing at controlled strain rates (25–35 mm/sec), and key mechanical parameters such as ultimate load and stiffness were determined from the load-displacement curve. By optimizing testing conditions and adapting equipment for biological tissues, this protocol provides a more accessible and reproducible approach to studying the biomechanical properties of small tissue samples.
Ripple Effects Mapping Within a Process Evaluation of Sport for Development Provision in England
Authors: Wilson Jase , Bates Dan
Published: January 2025

Evaluating the impact of sport for development is fraught with practical and methodological challenges. The evaluator is often presented with complex and messy social realities compounded by ill‐defined interventions with hard‐to‐follow outcomes. Further, those subject to an impact evaluation can feel under the spotlight with little contribution to the research programme, which complicates the potentially informative learning and developmental processes of the evaluation. This article provides an introduction to ripple effects mapping (REM) as an evaluation technique and draws on the case study of a community‐based, physical‐activity intervention within the UK. This article will demonstrate the utility of REM as a co‐productive technique for exploring programme outcomes but also as a tool to capture and understand the impact of the programme on participants. Through the presentation and analysis of the example REM, produced collaboratively with programme participants and stakeholders, the discussion illustrates the suitability and potential of REM as a process evaluation tool. The article presents REM in the context of evaluating sport for development practices and provides a critique and reflection about the refinement of REM as a robust evaluation tool.
Fear of Falling among Elderly Individuals with Various Medical Conditions
Authors: Konovalchik T.K.
Published: January 2025

Fear of falling is a significant problem among the elderly population, leading to a decrease in quality of life. Research on this phenomenon has been actively conducted abroad since the 1990s, starting with the works of N. Lach, M. Lachman, and M. Tinetti. In Russia, there is practically no research on the fear of falling. Objective. This study is dedicated to systematizing and summarizing existing data on the fear of falling among the elderly with various health conditions. Methods. Theoretical analysis of contemporary research on the fear of falling among the elderly. Results and Conclusions. It was found that there is no reliable data on the correlation between sensory deficits and fear of falling, although reduced vision, hearing, and proprioceptor sensitivity increase the risk of falling. Fear of falling can develop in physically well-functioning elderly individuals with high levels of anxiety, and depression is secondary to fear of falling. The presence of pronounced character accentuations can contribute to the development of fear of falling and even panic attacks. In Parkinson`s disease, the risk of falling increases in cognitively intact patients, and fear of falling is associated with catastrophizing. In Alzheimer`s disease with mild cognitive impairment, fear of falling indicators are almost indistinguishable from those of healthy individuals. Data across various clinical groups are heterogeneous, and the phenomenon of fear of falling requires more thorough investigation. This could be beneficial in developing psychocorrection programs for elderly patients and reducing the risk of falling.
Psychological Health Factors in Young and Elderly People
Authors: Reznikova T.N. , Chikhachev I.V. , Abbasova S.E. , Seliverstova N.A.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the problem of preserving and maintaining human health from the standpoint of the biopsychosocial approach, the theory of functional systems by P.K. Anokhin, the theory of development and functioning of higher mental functions, as well as the concept of cerebral information fields and the psychological information fields of the brain formed on their basis. The empirical part of the article focuses on studying of psychological factors affecting the health of young and elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a calm and post-stress state. The study reveals the features of the negative impact of stress on psychological health in young and elderly people with MCI, as well as highlights the factors contributing to the deterioration or maintenance of psychological health in different age groups. It was found that in a stressful situation, elderly people with MCI have a more differentiated reaction to stress compared to young people, and indicators of self-esteem and cognitive functions remain at the same level, while young people in a stressful situation demonstrate an undifferentiated reaction leading to personal maladaptation, deterioration of cognitive functions and greater severity of negative emotions (anxiety, fear, aggression, depression). The data obtained indicate a greater ability of elderly people with MCI to regulate their psychological health, compared with younger people, due to the formed positive stable attitude towards maintaining health.
Assessment of the Dynamics of Experiencing a Terrorist Threat before and after the Terrorist Attack at Crocus City Hall
Authors: Bykhovets J.V. , Kazymova N.N.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a study on the experience of terrorist threat, psychological stress and anxiety among young girls aged 18-26 before and after a terrorist attack (two times were performed: three days and eight months later). It was shown that after the March 22, 2024 terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, there was an increase in experience of the threat due to increased vigilance, alertness, anticipation of future attacks, concern for loved ones and need for information about attacks. Eight months after the attack, these indicators remained at the same level except for anticipation of new attacks (decrease was recorded). At the same time there were no changes in stress, anxiety or depression indicators. In addition, there has been an increase in hostility towards representatives of other nationalities, which may be related to the peculiarities of information coverage of events.
Risks of Online Health Information Seeking: Adaptation of the OHISS in the Russian Sample
Authors: Maksimenko A.A. , Zolotareva A.A.
Published: January 2025

The development of the Internet, along with the improvement of patients’ digital skills, makes them competent in some matters of medical care. The aim of this study was to adapt the Online Health Information Seeking Scale in the Russian-speaking sample with the establishment of relationships with such cyber phenomena as doomscrolling, cyberchondria, and social media addiction. In an all-Russian online survey conducted using the service Toloka.AI, 1,025 people took part. The toolkit included the following questionnaires: the Online Health Information Seeking Scale (OHISS), the Doomscrolling Scale (DS), the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS), the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS). The results showed that the Russian version of the OHISS has a one-factor structure and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.845; Mc’Donald’s ω = 0.847). The OHISS scores were statistically significantly positively correlated with scores of doomscrolling, cyberchondria, and social media addiction. The online health information seeking was not related to the age of the respondents, their income level and education level. Women, respondents who are married and separated, and respondents who consider themselves to be quite religious were exposed to more frequent online searches for health information. Empirical data obtained using the Online Health Information Seeking Scale allow us to consider the adapted scale as a psychometrically sound diagnostic instrument and recommend it for solving practical and research tasks.

Authors: Samokhina Anna , Shemyakov Sergey Evgen'evich , Ratiev Andrey P. , Egiazaryan Karen A.
Published: January 2025

Background. The generally accepted method of treating comminuted fractures of the radial head is endoprosthetics. At the present stage, various designs of prostheses are used, in the production of which statistically averaged morphometric parameters are used, without taking into account the constitutional anthropometric features of patients.
Aim of the study - to compare the morphometric parameters of the human radius obtained using computed tomography and computer modeling.
Methods. The study material was a database of DICOM-format computer tomograms of the right and left elbow joints of 137 people (66 male, 71 female), whose age ranged from 40 to 70 years, without signs of musculoskeletal pathology. Computer tomograms were analyzed using the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer program. Computer modeling was carried out using the ITK-SNAP program (GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3)) (open-source software), with further processing of the computer model using the developed software method.
Results. When comparing the numerical values ​​obtained from patients' CT scans with similar indicators from a computer model created using the new software product, the parameters turned out to be virtually identical.
Conclusion. The presented software product for the “automated determination of morphometric parameters of bone” will in the future allow modeling of a radial head prosthesis based on computer tomogram data, taking into account the individual structural features of the patient’s radial bone.

Authors: Yarustovskaya Olga V. , Gerasimenko Marina Yu. , Evstigneeva Inna S. , Lutoshkina Maria G.
Published: January 2025

Physical therapy methods have found wide application in various fields of clinical medicine, including when treating various diseases and pathological conditions of the female body. The vast majority of studies deals with the issues of the drug-free treatments of chronic inflammatory diseases of the lesser pelvis organs, which negatively impact the health of women of reproductive age. It should be noted that the works dealing with the possibility and evaluation of the effectiveness of including physical therapy methods in the combination treatment of the acute stage of nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the lesser pelvis organs are less numerous. A number of works on the use of the hyperbaric oxygenation and general magnetic therapy as components of combination therapy in forming the therapeutic effect deal with this area of research.
The article presents the basic principles of using physical therapy modalities in gynecology and the conditions for optimizing the results of treatment of gynecological patients, including the results of combination therapy with the earliest possible integration of physical therapy modalities in the programs of standard anti-inflammatory treatment of patients with acute nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the lesser pelvis organs, allowing to optimize its efficacy.
Basic principles of cryostimulation equipment efficiency
Authors: Baranov Aleksandr Yu. , Sokolova Ekaterina V. , Baranov Vladimir А. , Baranov Ivan А.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: A large number of currently available studies focus on the effects accompanying the whole-body cryostimulation impact. Information about the capabilities of the method differs significantly since the presented results are based on the use of different types of equipment. Therefore, the limits of effective parameters of the whole-body cryostimulation impact should be determined.
AIM: Сompare existing technological solutions in terms of efficiency and safety, and to substantiate the known practical advantages of single-chamber cryostimulation devices.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The reasons for the differences in the achieved therapeutic effects and lists of indications are elucidated through comparing the published data on whole-body cryostimulation applications in medical practice based on the use of single- and multi-chamber whole-body cryostimulation devices.
RESULTS: The analysis of available information has shown that various authors use the term “whole-body cryostimulation” (WBC) for two different technologies of physiotherapeutic impact on the patient’s body. They differ both in terms of organization (group and individual procedures) and technological parameters of the cryostimulation process (temperature of the cryogenic gas environment and duration of the patient’s stay in the low-temperature cabin). These differences are the reason why the changes in the skin surface temperature in multi-chamber cabins are much smaller than in single-chamber ones, which primarily accounts for the low physiotherapeutic efficiency of procedures in multi-chamber units.
CONCLUSION: The analysis shows the reasons for the inconsistent assessments of the whole-body cryostimulation efficiency in different research papers. The main reason for these discrepancies is that the same term refers to two procedures that are physically different. This brings confusion into the scientific data and undermines the credibility of the whole-body cryostimulation method. Further use of cryotherapy in clinical practice requires distinguishing between group cryostimulation and individual cryostimulation.
Provision of Public Administration Services through the ePUAP Platform on the Example of Provincial Offices for the Protection of Monuments in Poland
Authors: Mierzwa Marek
Published: January 2025

The digital revolution, which began in the middle of the 20th century, has led to social and technological changes, and consequently to the formation of an information society. The changing reality has not been without impact on the provision of public services. Thanks to the use of information and telecommunications technologies, e-government has been created. One of the basic tools used in Polish e-government is the ePUAP platform, used for electronic communication between petitioners and public administration bodies in a standardized way. Its importance has increased especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, in connection with the social isolation measures being introduced. The purpose of this article is to analyze the use of the ePUAP platform for the provision of public services on the example of provincial offices for the protection of monuments in Poland, based on research conducted and information obtained through access to public information. According to the author, the lack of publicly available, detailed statistical data on the ePUAP platform makes it difficult to assess its functioning in practice and to plan further measures for its development.
The Comparative Legal Analysis in the Area of Animal Protection Legislation – with Particular Emphasis on 19th-century German, Austrian and Russian Regulations
Authors: Sobczyński Jan
Published: January 2025

The article presents a comparative legal analysis of regulations concerning animal protection throughout the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The aim of focusing on this research area was to illustrate the dynamic changes in this field. For the purpose of the analysis, the scope has been limited to German, Austrian and Russian legislation acts, which, due to historical circumstances, were in force on Polish lands. Significant changes in Polish regulations from the interwar period have also been examined, with relevant case law being cited. The legal-dogmatic method was also applied. The discussed topic is placed in a broader cultural context, presenting successive regulations not as isolated legislative episodes, but as part of a broader trend shaping subsequent changes. The influence of various ideas (Kant, Bentham) on law and animal protection is also highlighted. Further discussion may be initiated by comparing the content of this paper with the Polish Act of 21 August 1997 on the Protection of Animals. Such a comparison would allow for reflection on whether the 1990s legislation satisfactorily addresses the needs of contemporary reality.
Application of Article 64 § 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code in Registration Cases – Comments against the Background of Court Decisions and the Practice of Municipal Authorities
Authors: Jurzyński Maciej
Published: January 2025

The subject of the study is the problem of applying Article 64 § 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code in registration matters. The obligation to register is carried out by filing a notification with the competent municipal authority and, as a rule, does not require the issuance of an administrative decision. However, in certain situations, the municipal authority should initiate proceedings and resolve the matter in the form of a decision. In practice, municipal authorities evade this obligation’s implementation, unjustifiably applying Article 64 § 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code. Consequently, they deprive individuals of the right to a trial. In view of this, based on the views of doctrine and case law, the author explains the meaning, scope and procedural consequences of the application of the invoked provision, as well as analyzes selected cases to clarify doubts about the correct application of Article 64 § 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code in registration cases.

To combat increasing threats, financial institutions must work with technology suppliers and governments to create comprehensive security standards and incorporate new technologies. In conclusion, IoT adoption in banking offers excellent prospects, but strong security measures are needed to secure sensitive financial systems and retain client confidence in an increasingly linked world.
Exploring Authenticity and Literary Dialect from a New Perspective
Authors: Díaz-Sierra Sara
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a theoretical discussion of literary dialect and authenticity and proposes a new approach that will enhance our knowledge of these concepts. It reveals the existence of a gap in the study of literary dialect and authenticity, where most researchers have paid attention to the role of the writer/creator while leaving aside the reader/audience. Scholars interested in the authenticity of literary dialect have traditionally concentrated on assessing how closely literary dialects resemble real-world dialects. However, the idea that authenticity only depends on the linguistic accuracy that the writer/creator lends to the fictional portrayal of dialect has been abandoned. More recent studies have started to examine how readers/audiences authenticate (or deauthenticate) dialect representations. Their focus is on which readers/audiences evaluate a portrayal as authentic and why. This paper is in line with the view that authenticity depends on the readers’/audiences’ evaluations and suggests that the perceived authenticity of literary dialect can be measured using methods similar to those employed in language attitudes research.

Enhancing evidence-based physiotherapy practice in India: Navigating patient expectations and financial pressures
Authors: Thiyagarajan Alagappan , Jeyakumar S. , Jeeva K.
Published: January 2025

Evidence-based physiotherapy practice is essential for ensuring effective, safe, and standardized care. In India, however, physiotherapists often face challenges when trying to implement evidence-based interventions due to patient expectations for immediate, often symptom-oriented relief, as well as financial pressures from clinics and institutions. This narrative review aims to explore these unique challenges and propose strategies to improve the uptake of evidence-based physiotherapy in Indian clinical settings. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, patient expectations, financial constraints, and socio-cultural factors affecting physiotherapy in India are analyzed. Findings suggest that improving communication, fostering shared decision-making, and adopting patient-centered modifications are key to aligning patient satisfaction with evidence-based care. The review concludes by identifying gaps in current research and recommending policy changes to promote a broader acceptance of evidence-based practice across India.
Primary obstructive megaureter in an adult: A case report
Authors: Nerli R. B. , Patel Keyur , Rai Shreyas , Jogula Abhinay
Published: January 2025

Primary obstructive megaureter is an uncommon presentation in adults and warrants aggressive surgical management. The disease is characterized by an intrinsic congenital obstruction at the lower 1 to 2 cm of the ureter just before it enters the bladder. A 21-year-old male presented with left loin pain of 2 months duration. A retrograde uretero-pyelography revealed a dilated whole length of the left ureter except for the terminal 1.5 cm. The patient underwent left sided ureteroneocystostomy. Primary obstructive megaureter is associated with complications such as urinary stones, infections and deterioration of renal function. Surgical correction relieves obstruction and improves drainage.
Rehabilitation success in ACL reconstruction and medial meniscus repair: A case of delayed recovery and optimized outcomes
Authors: Thiyagarajan Alagappan , Jeyakumar S. , Jeeva K. , Patni Oves
Published: January 2025

This case report highlights the rehabilitation process of a 23-year-old male who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with medial meniscus repair. Early rehabilitation is critical to prevent complications, but this patient experienced a significant delay, resulting in functional deficits such as a 10-degree fixed flexion deformity (FFD) and quadriceps lag at post-operative day 14.

A structured rehabilitation protocol was initiated at day 14 post-operation. Progress was tracked using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Single Leg Balance Scale (SLBS). The rehabilitation focused on improving knee extension, muscle strength, balance, and proprioception.

Significant improvements were observed by week 12. The patient’s KOOS scores improved across all domains, with pain improving from 45 to 80 and sports function from 10 to 60. The SLBS showed increased balance on the affected leg, improving from 5 to 25 seconds. The delayed rehabilitation approach still yielded positive outcomes, underscoring the importance of a structured physiotherapy program.

This case demonstrates that even with delayed rehabilitation, significant functional recovery can be achieved through a structured physiotherapy protocol. The results reinforce the necessity of early rehabilitation to avoid delays in recovery and improve long-term functional outcomes.
Ankle instability and physiotherapy: Exploring novel rehabilitation approaches
Authors: Jeyakumar S. , Thiyagarajan Alagappan , Balakrishnan Rajan
Published: January 2025

AbstractA common ailment that affects many people, especially athletes, ankle instability is frequently brought on by acute injuries that result in long-term pain and functional restrictions. This article examines both cutting-edge techniques like neuromuscular training, sport-specific drills, and technology-enhanced rehabilitation as well as more conventional approaches like strength training and balance exercises. Physiotherapists can develop customised regimens that enhance recovery results and lower the chance of re-injury by combining these tactics. Validating these novel approaches and improving rehabilitation procedures require ongoing research.

Published: January 2025

Objetivou-se avaliar as ocorrências de incêndios e queimadas em função das variáveis climáticas e antrópicas representadas pelo Índice de Anomalia de Chuva (IAC) e pelo mapeamento de cobertura e uso da terra (MCUT). Para o IAC, utilizaram-se dados de chuva de uma série de trinta anos, e para o MCUT de 2010 e 2019 utilizaram-se imagens do sensor Vexcel Ultracam e do Satélite Sentinel 2B, respectivamente. Os dados de focos foram adquiridos no do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), referente ao período de 2014 a 2019. Os resultados mostraram que houve dezesseis anomalias negativas, destacando-se o ano de 2014 com IAC extremamente seco, e que nos anos de 2012, 2016 e 2019 os focos ocorreram em períodos com anomalias positivas. Quanto às classes da espacialização do IAC, a classe seco representou aproximadamente 50% da área total da bacia. Em relação aos tipos de cobertura e uso da terra, destacaram-se as florestas com mais mudanças. Concluiu-se que os focos não são apenas influenciados por fatores ambientais, mas sobretudo, por atividades humanas.

Os processos didáticos que compõem a Geografia Escolar ganham ênfase, neste artigo, na perspectiva da análise do planejamento didático dos conteúdos de ensino, sobretudo, em relação aos planos de aula. Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados de uma revisão narrativa e de uma pesquisa documental referente à análise de cinco planos de aula de Geografia do Ensino Fundamental - Anos iniciais, cujo objetivo de pesquisa consistiu em identificar o que os professores propõem como conteúdo nos planos de aula, em referência aos objetos de conhecimento indicados na Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC, para a área de Ciências Humanas. Como resultado foi possível constatar a fragilidade quanto à elaboração de objetivos de ensino e aprendizagem, da indicação de conteúdos na maioria dos documentos consultados, bem como identificar a tendência de se considerar objetos de conhecimento como tema e/ou conteúdo. Portanto, este estudo a partir do tratamento de fontes primárias, possibilitou uma análise do tema em questão, que pode contribuir para ampliação da discussão na área do ensino da Geografia Escolar.

O cultivo de videiras em regiões de altitude, como a região de São Joaquim, em Santa Catarina-SC, tem-se destacado na produção de vinhos finos. Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho agronômico e fotossintético das variedades Chardonnay e Pinot Noir em São Joaquim, SC. O estudo foi conduzido durante a colheita de 2022/2023, em vinhedo comercial situado a 1230m de altitude. Foram analisadas as variáveis vegetativas, produtivas, fotossintéticas e maturação tecnológica. Para as variáveis número de ramos, de cachos, índice de fertilidade, produtividade, sólidos solúveis e índice Spad, a variedade Pinot Noir apresentou melhor desempenho em relação à Chardonnay. Os parâmetros de trocas gasosas (fotossíntese líquida, taxa transpiratória e eficiência da carboxilação) foram superiores na Chardonnay. Porém, isto não refletiu em aumento de produção e produtividade, mas provavelmente em maior vigor vegetativo. Para as condições do presente estudo, a variedade Pinot Noir é mais eficiente na utilização dos recursos disponíveis, pois destacou-se com maior área foliar, produção, produtividade, relações área foliar/produção, variáveis vegetativas, sólidos solúveis e índice Spad em relação à variedade Chardonnay.
