Síntese e fitotoxicidade de ésteres derivados de ácidos fenoxiacéticos e álcoois de origem natural
Authors:   , Santos Isabella Silva de Resende
Published: September 2024

Entre os pesticidas, os herbicidas são os mais amplamente utilizados no campo, pois combatem as plantas daninhas, que são as pragas mais prejudiciais à produtividade das lavouras. Com o uso frequente de herbicidas para aumentar o rendimento das lavouras, surgiram graves problemas, como o aumento do número de espécies resistentes aos herbicidas comerciais. Além disso, há um risco significativo de contaminação ambiental devido aos resíduos desses compostos, o que pode acarretar sérias implicações para a saúde humana e para o ecossistema. Dessa forma, há uma necessidade que sejam descobertos novos herbicidas que possuam sítios de ação específicos e curta meia-vida no ambiente, deixando menos resíduos na planta, no solo e na água. Tendo em vista esses objetivos, os compostos naturais vêm atraindo interesse pela na indústria e podem servir de inspiração na obtenção de novos herbicidas. Assim, os fenóis naturais representam uma classe que tem destaque na busca de bioherbicidas por apresentarem grande potencial fitotóxico, podendo ser encontrados geralmente em óleos essenciais de plantas. O guaiacol, eugenol, carvacrol e timol podem ser utilizados na busca de novos herbicidas. Outra classe interessante é a dos álcoois terpênicos, que em sua maioria são encontrados nas essências das flores e em óleos de plantas, tais como: citronelol e nerol. Entre os álcoois produzidos através das leveduras, o álcool isoamílico tem grande revevância, pois apresenta baixa toxicidade e já possui vários certificados de uso em produtos. Considerando esses fatores, objetivou-se com este trabalho sintetizar 15 ésteres híbridos, contendo um dos fenóis e um dos álcoois supracitados. Para isso, inicialmente foi realizada a síntese de ácidos fenoxiacéticos utilizando o fenol e os fenóis naturais citados como precursores (1-5), e a partir deles a síntese de ésteres com os álcoois mencionados (citronelol, nerol e isoamílico), por meio da esterificação de Fisher no caso dos ésteres obtidos a partir do citronelol e do álcool isoamílico. A esterificação de Steglich foi utilizada na síntese dos ésteres obtidos a partir do nerol. Todos os compostos sintetizados são inéditos e foram caracterizados por espectrometria de massas e Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de hidrogênio e de carbono. A fim de verificar o potencial fitotóxico dos ésteres (6-20) foram preparadas suspensões desses compostos, utilizando Tween 20 em água destilada. Como controle positivo foi preparada uma suspensão do herbicida 2,4-D (ácido 2,4- dicloroenoxiacético) e o controle negativo utilizado foi uma suspensão contendo apenas o Tween 20 em água destilada. O composto que mais inibiu a germinação e o crescimento radicular da alface foi o éster 19. Esse composto poderá ser utilizado como inspiração na obtenção de novos compostos com potencial herbicida e poderá ser de interesse da indústria de agroquímicos. Palavras-chave: Fenóis Naturais. Citronelol. Nerol. Álcool isoamílico.
Zero Trust Architecture in Cloud-Based Fintech Applications
Authors:   USA, Nutalapati Pavan
Published: September 2024

The rapid adoption of cloud technologies and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats have necessitated the evolution of security models in fintech applications. Traditional perimeter-based security models are insufficient for protecting sensitive financial data in dynamic and distributed cloud environments. This paper explores the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in cloud-based fintech applications. Zero Trust is a security model that assumes that threats could exist both inside and outside a network, enforcing strict verification for every entity attempting to access resources. This study reviews the principles of Zero Trust, its benefits, and challenges in the context of fintech, and presents a comprehensive framework for integrating ZTA into cloud-based fintech infrastructures. Additionally, this paper introduces sample code snippets to demonstrate the practical application of ZTA principles in fintech environments. The paper concludes with a discussion on future trends and the need for continuous adaptation of security strategies in the evolving digital landscape.

Achatamento rotacional dos planetas
Authors: Pacheco J. A. de Freitas
Published: September 2024

Corpos celestes em rotação não possuem simetria esférica, pois a gravidade efetiva é menor no equador do que nos polos. A deformação depende não somente da velocidade de rotação mas também da estrutura interna do corpo. Neste artigo, a deformação ou “achatamento” dos planetas do sistema solar, devido a rotação dos mesmos, é estimada modelizando tais corpos como um “fluido” ou como um corpo “elástico”. A comparação com as observações permite obter informações sobre a estrutura interna.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Soto de Anda Luis Angel
Published: September 2024

El artículo reflexiona sobre el potencial metodológico que tiene la etnografía en los estudios turísticos, todo esto desde un enfoque multimétodo que rescata el quehacer antropológico para la descripción e interpretación del turismo como un hecho social total. Se reconoce la necesidad de generar trabajos etnográficos de carácter colaborativo, es decir, fortalecer la perspectiva dialógica entre investigador e investigado. Adicionalmente, dejar en claro que la (re)construcción de realidades debe contrastar lo que se hace (acciones) y lo que se dice que se hace (discursos).

Authors: Yahya Abdul Halim , Khamis Kamarul Azman , Zakaria Zaherawati
Published: September 2024

Integrity is crucial in enforcement agencies, especially the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), to ensure accountability in accordance with the law, free of misbehaviour or corruption. People have recently expressed frustration over the rise in police wrongdoing, which is concerning given several high-profile examples in the country. As a result, the objective of this study is to reveal the level of public trust in RMP’s integrity and why this scenario still never-ending stories. This study uses qualitative methodologies, specifically thematic analysis, to delve deeper into the perspectives of individuals and practitioners. The results of the study are as expected, which is that the people are highly upset and disturbed about the increasing number of misconduct instances among police officers. However, a few informants report that the degree of integrity in RMP is still under control, with only a few examples of wrongdoing in Malaysia. Nonetheless, the findings of this study can serve as a precedent for RMP to be more transparent and fairer in its investigation of members in inquiry. Measures to improve human resource management, such as self-reinforcement training, a more appropriate wage system, and the addition of adequate workers, can help to prevent RMP misconduct and promote public trust. Researchers can expand future studies by using a variety of approaches and involving informants from various Malaysian enforcement authorities.

Published: September 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified the utilization and reliance of ESL learners on various electronic gadgets in assisting their learning processes that have mostly been conducted via online or termed as open distance learning (ODL). The pandemic has ‘forced’ almost all educational institutions to halt physical meetings and induced ODL. This unprecedented phenomena during Covid-19 pandemic have double-edged effects on learners. On one side, it assists and eases the learning processes but on the other side, the learners are ‘forced’ to spend even more time than they already are with their gadgets or smart phones that leads them to fear the situation of being without their smart phones or termed as ‘nomophobia’. This quantitative study is conducted to explore nomophobia among ESL learners using NMP- Q. A total of 114 ESL learners were conveniently selected as respondents. The respondents are mostly active undergraduates with 30% are postgraduates. The questionnaires were administered online, and quantitative data generated from this survey is used to measure respondents’ level of nomophobia, investigate gender differences as the correlation between respondents’ level of English language and their level of nomophobia and to determine the main factor(s) leading to nomophobia. The results show that majority of respondents fall under ‘Moderate’ nomophobia with close to 30% of them are under ‘Severe’. The study also confirmed that gender and the level of English language are not the determining factors of severeness of nomophobia. Finally, having no access to information is the main factor contributing to nomophobia.

Literature Review on Cloud Computing: A Paradigm Combining Service-Oriented Architecture with Internet-Based Solutions
Authors: Pragya Devi
Published: September 2024

Cloud computing, a paradigm combining service-oriented architecture with Internet-based network solutions, has rapidly transformed the IT industry by offering on-demand access to shared resources. Key models of cloud services include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). These models provide cost-effective, scalable, and flexible alternatives to traditional IT infrastructure, enabling enterprises to outsource hardware, software, and network services. Cloud systems such as Amazon EC2, Google App Engine, and IBM’s Blue Cloud illustrate these benefits, significantly lowering costs through pay-as-you-go pricing structures. However, data security and privacy have become critical concerns, as cloud users must entrust sensitive information to third-party providers. Ensuring data confidentiality and implementing fine-grained access control are essential to maintaining user trust and enabling compliance with legal and organizational regulations. The success of cloud computing in the future depends on overcoming these security challenges, allowing enterprises to fully embrace its potential

Authors: Carvalho Pacheco Lucas , Sturza Loy Laíza , Muenchen Cristiane
Published: September 2024

Na contramão das teorias tradicionais de currículo, está inserida a perspectiva curricular da Abordagem Temática. Nesta, a organização dos conhecimentos científicos é realizada a partir de um tema da realidade local/global dos educandos. Nessa perspectiva e no contexto das novas políticas curriculares brasileiras, este estudo almeja apresentar e discutir o processo de construção do material didático-pedagógico “Lixo na região oeste de Santa Maria/RS: quais são os problemas e as possibilidades?”, assim como suas potencialidades para o desenvolvimento de aulas interdisciplinares, problematizadoras, críticas e dialógicas. Para atingir este propósito, organizamos as discussões em quatro tópicos/categorias, sendo eles(as): i) O processo de estruturação das Unidades Temáticas; ii) O potencial interdisciplinar; iii) Os Três Momentos Pedagógicos como estruturantes de materiais didático-pedagógicos e iv) A BNCC e as novas políticas curriculares.  Dentre os relevantes resultados deste estudo, constatamos a possibilidade de articulação da Abordagem Temática com as novas políticas curriculares, sem que a Abordagem Temática tenha qualquer adaptação em sua fundamentação teórica, metodológica e/ou epistemológica.
Antropomorfismo nas ilustrações das atividades experimentais da revista Ciência Hoje das Crianças
Authors: Martins Jéssica Taynara , Melo Viviane Florentino , Oliveira Elrismar Auxiliadora Gomes
Published: September 2024

A presente pesquisa mapeou e caracterizou aspectos antropomórficos de 434 ilustrações presentes em 196 atividades experimentais da revista CHC nas edições de 2009 a 2020. Como aporte teórico utilizamos o referencial bachelardiano por seu potencial para provocar reflexões críticas para a análise de materiais que publicam informações sobre Ciência. O percurso metodológico caracteriza-se como qualitativo e documental e a análise contou com processo de verificação triplo cego. Os resultados evidenciam que a revista não se apoia majoritariamente nesse recurso para atrair seus leitores, uma vez que em mais de dois terços das atividades experimentais não foram encontrados traços antropomórficos. Ainda são escassos os estudos sobre o uso de antropomorfismo no ensino de Física, o que consideramos ser uma lacuna na área, tampouco estudos com o público infantil. Mesmo não havendo consenso quanto ao impacto do uso dessas representações na construção de conceitos científicos, consideramos que seja importante evidenciar sua presença em materiais presentes nas escolas. Assim é crucial que a área de pesquisa em ensino de ciências, no Brasil, se debruce sobre materiais de divulgação para gerar resultados que auxiliem os professores a utilizá-los na construção de conceitos científicos com os estudantes. Como perspectiva de pesquisas futuras, acreditamos ser importante investigações sobre traços antropomórficos nas demais seções da revista e diretamente com estudantes propondo reflexões sobre os limites e possibilidades deste recurso visual para a construção de conceitos científicos.

Transmission of the Book of the Dead in New Kingdom Tombs at Saqqara
Authors: Davies H.P.R. Twiston
Published: September 2024

Texts and images from theBook of the Deadwere widely used to decorate the walls of tombs during Egypt’s New Kingdom (c. 1550-1077 BCE).Prior research has tended to focus on either individual tombs, or on the contents of papyrus copies of theBook of the Dead. This book focusses on the adaptation of parts of this funerary corpus in individual tombs from the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara, with the aim of showing how each tomb’s decoration was tailored to the ends of their builders. In doing so, it builds up a picture of the ways in which these developments changed over time, and captures the dynamic and shifting ways in which ancient Egyptians interacted with their funerary texts. This contrasts with the popular image of Egyptian religion as centrally administered and directed, and essentially unchanging over millennia. In fact, choices and forms of texts and images used in tombs changed even within a single generation. Some forms remained popular over long periods, being constantly reused and re-adapted, while others achieved specific and local popularity, or else were abandoned after only a short period of time. This book argues powerfully for the human dimension in ancient Egyptian religion, revealing the ways in which individuals and groups continually reshaped their tradition even as they worked within it. Produced as part of the research project The Walking Dead at Saqqara: The Making of a Cultural Geography, this book is kindly funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

Persephone Myth in Young Adult Fiction
Authors: González Cristina Salcedo
Published: September 2024

Investigating the widespread but understudied presence of the Persephone myth within 21st-century young adult literature, Cristina Salcedo González analyses six young adult novels which incorporate a reworking of this ancient Greek myth.Through the identification of mythic themes (‘mythemes’) and patterns within these novels, González shows that these works evoke the female life cycle and develop current perceptions of the female maturational experience. As a result, González makes an important contribution in establishing the cultural significance of young adult literature in the world of classical reception. These novels, all written by women, also inflect or interpret the myth in ways influenced by their contemporary contexts, specifically the impact of the novels’ target readership on the aspects of the myth that are either emphasised (e.g. Persephone’s descent into the underworld; her existence there; and her re-ascent) or de-emphasised (e.g. the mourning and wanderings of Demeter).

This book makes original methodological contributions – through its innovative dual perspective of myth criticism and classical reception – to our understanding of the academically neglected genre of young adult literature and the reception of the myth of Persephone. As a result, González makes an important contribution in establishing the cultural significance of young adult literature in the world of classical reception.
Women in Allied Naval Intelligence in the Second World War
Authors: Miller Sarah-Louise
Published: September 2024

Closely examining the work of women in the US and British naval services towards Allied naval intelligence during the Second World War, this book focuses on their contributions during the Battle of the Atlantic and Pacific Naval War, in order to shed new light on arenas of war from which women’s narratives are almost always absent.

Including personal testimonies from those involved, and surveying a wide cross-section of different roles, Sarah-Louise Miller analyses the work of women at every level and rank in the US and British naval services, and offers a much wider picture of how they assisted the Allied forces behind closed doors.

With exploration of the work of the WRNS and WAVES on developing naval intelligence, this book argues that they played a crucial role in the British and American SIGINT systems, and within programs such as those at Bletchley Park and OP-20-G – therefore directly impacting the organisation and outcome of Anglo-American naval efforts. Including analysis of the development of the modern ‘kill-chain’, Miller also re-evaluates the effect of the ‘combat taboo’, to demonstrate that the WRNS and WAVES were in fact at the cutting edge of the emergence of modern warfare.
Metaphysical Hermeneutics
Authors: Grondin Jean
Published: September 2024

If in its simplest form, hermeneutics is a quest for understanding, then part of that quest will always include striving to understand being and the meaning of being.This open access book takes that ambition seriously, arguing that hermeneutics and metaphysics, so central to philosophical thought but so rarely put in tandem, are two complementary fundamentals of human existence.

Metaphysical Hermeneuticsputs forward the argument for a hermeneutical metaphysics in service of philosophy’s basic aim: to make sense of our experience. Jean Grondin builds his argument for this combined discipline around the idea of ‘sense’ – a theme that is both hermeneuticalandmetaphysical. What we seek to glimpse is not just a figment of the mind but always the meaning ofsomething. Grondin calls on one of the founding figures of contemporary hermeneutics Hans-Georg Gadamer to test his theories, singling out the metaphysical dimension of Gadamer’s ideas and questioning his seeming embrace and rejection of that dimension. Rooting these questions in the human search for meaning is a major contribution to the scope and resources of hermeneutic philosophy.

Dil Chahta Hai Soundtrack
Authors: Beaster-Jones Jayson
Published: September 2024

The 2001 buddy film Dil Chahta Hai (dir. Farhan Akhtar), had arguably the first rock soundtrack in Bollywood. The award-winning soundtrack is an entry point into the relationship between Bollywood film songs, Hindi language music, and the Indi-pop movement of the '80s and '90s.

Beaster-Jones draws from reviews by music critics and fans, industry interviews, and his own close analysis of the music and the film to trace the role of the Dil Chahta Hai soundtrack in transforming both the sound and production practices of Bollywood cinema in the new millennium. These songs emerged from the rock band and live performance aesthetic of writing trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Their collaborative compositional approach for this soundtracks and later soundtracks reveals the changing tastes of India’s urban youth audiences and how that taste fueled the rise of the rockstar narrative in Hindi films.

The music for this soundtrack was the second Bollywood soundtrack composed by the superstar trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (i.e. Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa), with lyrics penned by the inimitable Javed Akhtar. The songs from this soundtrack paved the way for the rock and EDM-oriented compositions of Hindi-language cinema that came to dominate the first decades of the 21st century, making Dil Chahta Hai among the most influential soundtracks in Indian cinematic history.

Profiles from Prison
Authors: Santos Michael G.
Published: September 2024

Written by an inmate serving 45 years for a drug conviction when he was 23, this is an in-depth view living behind bars from the perspective of prisoners themselves. Sections of the book are based on length of imprisonment. Prisoners in Fort Dix, N.J., detail their unique experiences, thoughts, and feelings about life on the inside. Some describe the actions that lead to their confinement, or detail the complexities of living in all-male communities. Others reveal the ways they cope with their terms, or the expectations they have for life after prison.

Santos offers the gripping stories of men serving a variety of terms, providing commentary and analysis as he guides readers through the prison experience. How men adjust to their confinement, and how they utilize their time while serving their sentences, can be a predictor of future success or failure both in prison and society upon their release. Through these often-difficult accounts, readers gain a greater understanding of what it means to be a prisoner, and how the system itself can contribute to both positive adjustment and negative outcomes alike.

To Promote, Defend, and Redeem
Authors: Sparr Arnold
Published: September 2024

The Catholic literary revival in America refers both to the impact of the modern resurgence in European Catholic thought and letters upon the American Church between 1920 and 1960, and to efforts by American Catholic educational and literary leaders to induce a similar flowering of Catholic life and culture in their own country. Arnold Sparr examines those areas of Catholic thought and culture that most concerned educated American Catholics, critics, and cultural leaders between 1920 and 1960: the renaissance in Catholic literary, theological, philosophical, and social thought; its application to modern economic, social, and intellectual problems; and the growth and development of the twentieth century Catholic novel. He contends that the movement had both intellectual and organizational aspects. It represented not only an awakening of American Catholics to their modern intellectual and cultural heritage, but a movement by a self-conscious American Catholic cultural community to realize its own share of modern Catholic thinkers, writers, and poets.

Sparr maintains that American Catholic intellectual and cultural life between 1920 and 1960 was driven by three forces: to promote the intellectual standing of American Catholicism, to defend the Catholic faith and its adherents from detractors, and to redeem what was seen as a drifting and fragmented secular culture. He divides the book into three sections, each corresponding to separate phases of the American Catholic literary revival. Organization and Development, 1920-1935 treats the socio-cultural antecedents of the revival and the self-conscious attempts of the revival's early Jesuit leaders to build a Catholic intellectual presence in America. Part two, Transformation, 1935-1955, addresses the shift in Catholic revivalist thought from the confrontational literary-philosophical postures of the 1920s and early 1930s to more positive understandings of Catholic faith and practice. Finally, Dissolution, the 1950s and After chronicles the eclipse of the revival, resulting from a reactivation of the Catholic intellectualism issues, increasing concerns about professionalism within Catholic academia, and liberal Catholic association of the revival with so-called ghetto culture. Parts one and two conclude with chapters on the American Catholic novel; the search for the Great American Catholic novel, an important element of the revival, provides an organization framework through which to summarize and assess major trends in the larger cultural movement. This new work will interest scholars and students of American Catholicism, the Catholic church in the 20th century, and cultural and religious historians.

Words and Music of Prince
Authors: Perone James E.
Published: September 2024

Prince's early albumsDirty Mind, 1999, andPurple Rain, established him as a major force in American pop music. His combination of rock and funk was unique, and drew both critical praise and commercial attention. The 1990s found Prince forming a new group, moving back in the direction of R&B, and eventually adopting an unpronounceable symbol as his moniker. By the end of the millennium, he was again exploring an eclectic collection of musical styles and enjoying a resurgence of interest in his well-known song 1999. Prince is one of the few artists of the entire rock era who successfully bridged the gap between traditional R&B and rock audiences with his musical eclecticism. He now stands among the best-selling pop musicians of the rock era. In this revealing study, author James Perone highlights the complexities and ambiguities of Prince's life work, while at the same time clarifying why it is that Prince remains such a widely popular figure in American music.

After a brief introductory biographical treatment, Perone goes on to analyze all of Prince's musical output-both as specific pieces, and as part of a larger body of work. Perone doesn't allow any of the elements of Prince's entertainment career (including his early contractual problems, his series of protégés, his name change, and his views on gender and race) to pass without reflection. As a resultThe Words and Music of Princeoperates as a sort of creative biography for both the man and the artist. The work also includes six illustrations, a bibliography, a discography, and an index.
