Published: February 2024

This study conducted an elemental analysis and assessed heavy metal concentrations in five powdered milk samples (V1, L1, H1, G1, and D1) from Senegal, utilizing X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). The analysis focused on aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and chlorine (Cl). Aluminum was either undetected or found at negligible levels in all samples. Calcium levels consistently surpassed the Acceptable Maximum Level (AML) in all samples, with H1 exceeding the AML by approximately 11.1 times (27,745.06 ± 310.16 ppm). Potassium concentrations varied, with G1 exhibiting the highest levels, significantly exceeding the AML (51,058.15 ± 456.13 ppm), while V1 remained within acceptable limits. Chlorine concentrations generally complied with the AML, except for G1, which slightly exceeded the limit (3631.04 ± 31.23 ppm). Phosphorus concentrations in H1 were notably higher than the AML (13,750.94 ± 275.35 ppm). The non-uniformity in heavy metal concentrations among samples emphasizes the need for ongoing research and regulatory scrutiny to address potential risks and ensure the safety of powdered milk.

Authors: Sampaio Giovanna , De Paula Pereira Neila , Antonio Belmino dos Santos Joao
Published: February 2024

A pesquisa objetivou investigar o uso da Inteligência Artificial (IA) no desenvolvimento de patentes. A problemática da pesquisa refere-se ao questionamento se a tecnologia de IA pode ser considerada como uma inventora de si mesma, e detentora de uma patente: quais são as principais considerações e argumentos para recusar essa ideia no cenário presente? Assim, a atualidade da temática reflete a importância de se discutir esse tema. A principal hipótese a ser testada refere-se justamente à (im)possibilidade de IA ser considerada inventora ou detentora de determinada patente devido à ausência dos requisitos básicos contratuais, e da personalidade e responsabilidade jurídicas. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão de bibliografia sistemática, com caráter descritivo e segundo um método cartesiano para analisar quanti-qualitativamente as informações e dados obtidos a partir da pesquisa realizada sob a ótica do direito comparado. Os resultados e discussões apontam conclusivamente para a impossibilidade jurídica da IA em ser atualmente considerada como inventora de uma criação patenteável.
Democracia, sub-representação e crise de legitimidade estatal.
Authors: Carvalho Thúlio José Michilini Muniz de
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tece considerações sobre a tendência de declínio democrático em âmbito global e de sua relação com os processos que, no caso do Brasil, dão ensejo à má distribuição e ao exercício abusivo de poder, com impactos sobre a representação e o regime de liberdades do cidadão comum. A análise parte da constatação de que a democracia tem dado sinais preocupantes em âmbito mundial, ligados ao desconforto dos cidadãos (representados) com a atuação dos que são eleitos para decidir pela sociedade (representantes), o que cria ambiente propício a tentativas de adoção de regimes “iliberais”. No caso do Brasil, afirma-se que essa desconfiança em relação aos ocupantes do poder é acentuada por elementos tipicamente locais, de caráter histórico, jurídico e político, favoráveis a uma atuação política em nome e no interesse próprios, ao invés de em nome e no interesse da coletividade. Daí a necessidade de correções, desde a forma com que nossos representantes são escolhidos até os limites efetivos à sua margem de atuação, sob o risco de eventuais rupturas, não necessariamente para melhor.

Authors: Bomfim Rainer , Januzzi Gabriel , Cecília MáximoTeodoro Maria
Published: February 2024

Este trabalho, sob a metodologia jurídico-sociológica, analisa como o padrão atual de consumo é utilizado como um processo de subjetivação. Para isso, escolhe-se a exclusão da produção de dados de consumo em relação às pessoas trans como objeto de análise. Como marcos teóricos desta pesquisa são utilizados os conceitos de sociedade do espetáculo de Guy Debord, nichos de mercado de Joseph Turow, abjeção de Julia Kristeva e a ideia de algoritmos de destruição em massa de Cathy O’Neil. O trabalho se justifica pela existência de práticas de mercado que cada vez mais classificam e denotam categorias aos consumidores que são cuidadosamente realizadas pelas empresas plataformizadas. Existe uma personalização dos anúncios comerciais em relação ao padrão esperado de consumo. Tem-se na conclusão a confirmação da hipótese inaugural.
Dasein Ist Design: An Ontological Discussion of Design in the Ecological Crisis Time
Authors: Lucibello Sabrina , Rotondi Carmen
Published: February 2024

The paper introduces preventive innovation as a possible way for design to address global challenges within the broader context of the Bio Revolution, understood as a dual convergence – technological and cultural – between biology and artifice. The interrelated condition, amplified by environmental crises and technologies that go so far as to recreate nature, requires a broader reflection on innovation and a proactive and preventive attitude that allows us to develop a new awareness of the reality surrounding us. To focus on the ontological dimension of design in this context, we will describe part of the results of “Biovision of the Future”, a research and critical reflection path promoted by the authors with the contribution of Stefano Marzano. The results under discussion are five “attitudes” deriving from the critical reconsideration of some paths that design takes in the Bio Revolution. These may be valuable references for design approaches aimed at preventive and post-anthropocentric innovation.

Authors: Degiacomi Sergio , Zoccarato Francesca , De Pascalis Simone , Crovari Pietro , Catania Fabio
Published: February 2024

The main goal of the project is to create an interactive exhibition, innovative and technological in its approach, that aims to create awareness and promote the knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals of the Agenda ONU 2030 – in particular, on the value of social and environmental sustainability. 178 Countries adopted a common agenda to preserve our planet for the first time in 1992, during the Rio de Janeiro Summit. From that moment, the concept of sustainability has changed forever and has been changing ever since. In this paper, after understanding the state of the art in the field of the interactive exhibition, it is going to be explained how the methodology is applied in order to evolve from a desk and field analysis to a concept definition. These key points will then help define the concept in the shape of an operative strategy with methodological guidelines and a structured solution. From this stage, a few considerations on the future of this proposal can be drawn.

Authors: Pino Ahumada Bárbara
Published: February 2024

The relocation of the textile industry has resulted in both linkages and disruptions within the regions where they have been established. Due to the creation of textile dumps, the territorial links of the textile industry in Chilean territory, specifically in Alto Hospicio, have modified the social and environmental landscape. This study investigates the relationship between global textile production networks and the environmental and social effects of textile debris entering Iquique. Furthermore, how would it be possible to make it visible and raise awareness to seek viable future solutions through design activism actions. The research was carried out based on field interviews, techniques of “conversation in action” (Flores, 2013) from the perspective of Grounded Theory, a research trip to the north of Chile, as well as the review of Chilean legislation, similar case studies, and literature related to the functioning of the global fashion system from a geopolitical standpoint.

Published: February 2024

This paper presents an empirical perspective on intersectional design in practice. The research is related to caring for the environment and for all citizens, including vulnerable groups, working towards sustainability for all people at systemic level. Starting from the need for defining new educational ways to teach sustainability to all citizens from an intersectional design model we took into consideration the importance of data gathering by the school community towards devising inclusive processes and by applying methods from participatory discussions to prototype experiments. The same intersectional approach will be used to design the technology for sustainability education that should trigger green and digital transitions and the maximum societal reach by mean sustainability through design.
Perspectives of Sound: Promoting Social Inclusion Under the Principle of “Access for All” in Museums
Authors: Zhang Yi , Trocchianesi Raffaella
Published: February 2024

It is predictable that the employment of sound in museums is inevitable for a multitude of different reasons. The contemporary museum’s emphasis on experience and participation has urged a transformation of its cultural paradigm. Multi-sensory experiences that mix auditory, visual, and tactile elements have become increasingly common in museums. Meanwhile, new demands have been placed on the museum experience as it begins to extend beyond the museum itself. It is appropriate for designers to develop a more holistic perspective on the audience’s connection to the exhibits and cultural content, which should also include consideration of sound content. This research examines inclusive construction in Lombardia museums through the perspective of sound. Inclusion is the starting point that sound can be engaged with, and sound contains other potentials to explore.

Sustainable Data-Driven Strategies and Active Well-Being: A Case Study
Authors: Mincolelli Giuseppe , Andrea Giacobone Gian , Marchi Michele
Published: February 2024

Nowadays the world is characterized by an increasingly aging society. This phenomenon represents a risk for the sustainability of the healthcare system. One of the factors that can accelerate the consequences of the aging process is sedentary behavior. Currently, there is a large availability of wearable smart devices and mobile applications, that can collect data.
However, some social and functional problems were observed, therefore we believe that there is great room for improvement (Mincolelli et al., 2018).
In addition, the paradigm of the Internet of Things is enabling those applications to share data with other programs and smart devices, which, in turn, can generate an ecosystem of services that can improve the quality of life, not only of the single user, but of many groups of a determined social context.
The contribution presents a case study (PLEINAIR project) that focuses specifically on the development of Human-Centered outdoor smart technologies that can adapt themselves to the necessities of people of all ages and abilities in order to encourage them of taking care of their health.

An Analytical study to develop the traditional craft in the field of creative industries in Egypt
Authors: Aman Hoda
Published: February 2024

The production of traditional crafts in Egyptian architecture, especially Islamic architecture, has been historically significant, reflecting cultural uniqueness. However, political, economic, and industrial factors have led to a decline in craft production, diminishing their cultural distinctiveness (Abdul Hamid, 2001). Traditional crafts currently face stagnation, lacking modernization in design, functional integration, and technological advancements. Artisans struggle to compete with imported products. This research aims to preserve and revitalize traditional crafts by integrating them with the creative industries. It explores modern Egyptian experiences, traces the craft’s development, and identifies key points for creating creative products. The study evaluates Egyptian models that introduce new products, assessing their suitability and overall development, including impacts on craftsmen, products, and the production process. The application of creative industry principles is also examined. Findings inform proposals and recommendations to preserve traditional crafts in Egypt and explore their local and global development potential.

Content and Quality of Comparative Tactical Game-Centered Approaches in Physical Education: A Systematic Review
Authors: Breed Ray , Lindsay Riki , Kittel Aden , Spittle Michael
Published: February 2024

Effective teaching pedagogies and curriculum frameworks in school physical education have been regularly changing and widely debated. However, teachers have predominately used technical and sport-based approaches, but tactical game-centered approaches (TGAs) are becoming more common when teaching games in physical education. This review systematically described the content and the quality of research that compared TGAs with other teaching approaches within school physical education. All 24 studies that were found compared a technical approach (TA) or control group with a TGA, and most originated from Western Europe. Studies were conducted equally in primary and secondary schools, most research was mixed-gender, and the majority incorporated a single sport to compare teaching approaches. The quality of reporting was mostly low with a moderate to serious risk of bias. Studies commonly showed that TGAs improved student outcomes in tactical skill; skill execution; affective, procedural knowledge and/or physical activity; and TAs improved skill execution and technical skill.

The government's tax incentives can act as a fiscal stimulus to overcome and accelerate national economic recovery by allocating a tax-spending budget. However, it can lead to the impact of losing the tax base and decreasing the income from tax revenues. This study aims to analyze the effect of tax incentives on the tax base and the realization of income tax revenue. The sample comprised 142 taxpayers who applied for tax incentives due to the COVID-19 outbreak at Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) Pratama Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau, Indonesia, in 2020 and 2021. The data were analyzed using path analysis techniques. The analysis concludes that the tax base can mediate the tax incentive with the realization of income tax revenue, where tax incentives have a direct negative and significant relationship to the realization of income tax revenue through the tax base. If the government increases the value of the tax incentives, it will directly result in a decrease in the realization of income tax revenue due to taxes paid on the tax base. The research findings implicate that providing tax incentives can increase the tax base in several business sectors, such as health services and plantations. Tax incentives can also increase the aggregate utility of the economy, marked by a large consumption of goods or services. Previous researchers have never conducted this research and provided references regarding tax incentive policies and their impact on tax bases and the realization of tax revenues.
Prognostic value of residual SYNTAX score on in-hospital and follow-up clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing pharmacoinvasive strategy

Background Multivessel coronary artery disease is a challenge in clinical practice. An individualized approach should consider not only the patient characteristics, but also a multidisciplinary approach, together with the Heart Team. Multiple angiographic scores have been proposed with the aim of quantifying the risk associated with multivessel coronary artery disease. Residual SYNTAX score has been proposed as a method to systematically characterize and quantify residual coronary disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. There are few data in the literature correlating the residual SYNTAX score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing pharmacoinvasive strategy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the SYNTAX score and residual SYNTAX score as predictors of in-hospital and medium-term outcomes (180 to 380 days) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, after successful fibrinolytic therapy. Methods In a cross-sectional, analytical, and prospective study, we evaluated residual SYNTAX score as predictor of in-hospital and medium-term outcomes (6 months to 1 year), in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after pharmacoinvasive strategy. Results Between August 2019 and December 2020, 108 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after fibrinolysis, with reperfusion criteria, were analyzed. The mean SYNTAX score was 13.98 (±4.87) and the mean residual SYNTAX score was 7.56 (±4.47). High residual SYNTAX score was associated with contrast-induced nephropathy and major adverse cardiac event. It was also an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac event with a 9.69-fold increased risk (p=0.0274). Conclusion High residual SYNTAX score confers worse prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after pharmacoinvasive strategy.

Self-Reported Attention During Changes is Associated with Episodic Memory Updating

Published: February 2024

Everyday changes require updating episodic memories to remember recent information. Attending to changes can promote updating but can also lead to interference. The present study used an experimental and individual differences approach to characterize associations between attention to original and changed features, and memory updating. Participants studied pairs with responses that changed from the first (A-B) to second (A-D) presentation and reported their attention after each pair. Participants then completed a test of both responses and if responses changed. Attention varied across participants and decreased over time. On-task reports after A-D pairs, signaling attention, were associated with recall of D responses when participants were on task during B responses in between- and within-subject analyses, and off task during B responses only in within-subject analysis. These and other associations herein are compatible with views proposing that recent memories benefit from integrating or differentiating the past and present.
Dynamic Fit Index Cutoffs for Treating Likert Items as Continuous
Authors: McNeish Daniel
Published: February 2024

Recent reviews report that about 80% of empirical factor analyses are applied to Likert-type responses and that it is exceedingly common to treat Likert-type item responses as continuous. However, traditional model fit index cutoffs like RMSEA ≤ .06 or CFI ≥ .95 were derived to have 90+% sensitivity to misspecification with continuous responses. A disconnect therefore emerges whereby traditional methodological guidelines assume continuous responses whereas empirical data often contain Likert-type responses. We provide an illustrative simulation study to show that this disconnect is not innocuous—sensitivity of traditional cutoffs to misspecification is close to 100% with continuous responses but can fall considerably if 5-point Likert responses are treated as continuous in some conditions. In other conditions, the reverse may occur, and traditional cutoffs may be too strict. Generally, applying traditional cutoffs to Likert-type responses can adversely impact conclusions about fit adequacy. This paper aims to address this prevalent issue by extending the dynamic fit index (DFI) framework to accommodate Likert-type responses. DFI is a simulation-based method that was initially intended to address changes in cutoff sensitivity to misspecification due to model characteristics (e.g., number of items, strength of loadings). Here, we propose extending DFI so that it also accounts for data characteristics (e.g., number of Likert scale points, response distribution) . Two simulations are included to demonstrate that – with 5-point Likert-type responses – the proposed method (a) improves upon traditional cutoffs, (b) improves upon DFI cutoffs based on multivariate normality, and (c) consistently maintains 90+% sensitivity to misspecification.
Credible causal inference beyond toy models
Authors: Geraldo Pablo
Published: February 2024

Causal inference with observational data critically relies on untestable and extra-statistical assumptions that have (sometimes) testable implications. Well-known sets of assumptions that are sufficient to justify the causal interpretation of certain estimators are called identification strategies. These templates for causal analysis, however, do not perfectly map into empirical research practice. Researchers are often left in the disjunctive of either abstracting away from their particular setting to fit in the templates, risking erroneous inferences, or avoiding situations in which the templates cannot be applied, missing valuable opportunities for conducting empirical analysis. In this article, I show how directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) can help researchers to conduct empirical research and assess the quality of evidence without excessively relying on research templates. First, I offer a concise introduction to causal inference frameworks. Then I survey the arguments in the methodological literature in favor of using research templates, while either avoiding or limiting the use of causal graphical models. Third, I discuss the problems with the template model, arguing for a more flexible approach to DAGs that helps illuminating common problems in empirical settings and improving the credibility of causal claims. I demonstrate this approach in a series of worked examples, showing the gap between identification strategies as invoked by researchers and their actual applications. Finally, I conclude highlighting the benefits that routinely incorporating causal graphical models in our scientific discussions would have in terms of transparency, testability, and generativity.
