Böden am Rabenberg bei Rengen (Daun/Westeifel) als Archiv der Landschafts- und Nutzungsgeschichte
Authors: Pätzold Stefan , Teichner Daniela
Published: June 2023

Am Beispiel einer Catena an einem Südhang bei Daun wird der Archivwert von Böden in Mittelgebirgslage mit bodenkundlichen Methoden beschrieben. Verschiedene Körnungsparameter erlauben die Zuordnung der Bodenhorizonte zu Ausgangssubstraten der Bodenbildung und Rückschlüsse auf das Alter von Abtrag und Bodenbildung. Auch die chemischen Bodeneigenschaften (insbesondere Corg-Gehalte, pedogene Eisenoxide, Ti/Zr-Verhältnis, Elementgehalte) legen Zeugnis über die Bodengenese ab. Anhand der Morphologie und von Kohleresten eines früh-römerzeitlichen Brandgrabes konnte der Abtrag der präholozänen Verwitterungsdecke in Kuppenposition auf vor-römerzeitlich datiert werden. Der Hang wurde von der Römerzeit an beackert; ein Kolluvium mit Artefaktfunden belegt die intensive Erosionsdynamik ab dieser Zeit. Spätere Ackernutzung hat eine Terrassierung hinterlassen, liegt aber nach historischen Quellen, 14C-Datierungen und der Morphologie der Oberbodenhorizonte (Regenwurmtätigkeit) mehrere Hundert Jahre zurück. Die Nährstoffgehalte in den bewirtschafteten Böden sind erwartungsgemäß signifikant höher als in begrabenen Oberbodenhorizonten von Kolluvien und von Böden eines Dauerversuchs, die nie Mineraldünger erhalten haben. Letztere tragen heute spezifische Pflanzengesellschaften, die Anhaltspunkte für die Ertragsfähigkeit der Böden in früheren Epochen geben. Zur Archivfunktion tragen somit Profilaufbau, Artefaktfunde und bewirtschaftungsbedingte chemische Bodeneigenschaften gleichermaßen bei. Die Böden konservieren Informationen zur Landschafts- und zur Kulturgeschichte und sollten in dieser Hinsicht künftig mehr Aufmerksamkeit erhalten.
Spontane Verjüngung und genetische Variationen von Taxus baccata (Europäische Eibe) in Wäldern am Burgberg in Dortmund-Hohensyburg
Authors: Hetzel Ingo
Published: June 2023

In Wäldern am Burgberg in Dortmund-Hohensyburg (Nordrhein-Westfalen) wurde eine ungewöhnlich große Anzahl spontaner Verjüngungen der Europäischen Eibe (Taxus baccata) gefunden. Die Verjüngungen lassen sich auf die letzten 20 Jahre datieren und kamen davor dort in diesem Umfang nachweislich nicht vor. Diese Beobachtungen passen zu den Ausbreitungstendenzen, welche die Art in jüngerer Zeit auch in anderen Teilen des Ruhrgebiets zeigt. Die Verbreitung der Art in Nordrhein-Westfalen wird vorgestellt und mögliche Gründe für die Verwilderungen im Untersuchungsgebiet diskutiert. Weiterhin werden die genetischen Variationen der Art erörtert und dargestellt, dass am Burgberg nicht nur die verbreitete Form mit waagerecht abstehende Ästen auftritt, sondern auch drei weitere deutlich unterscheidbare Formen zu beobachten sind: eine mit aufrecht wachsenden Ästen, eine vielstämmige, strauchartig wachsende und eine mit auffällig kurzen und breiten Nadeln, die im Aussehen der Sorte Taxus baccata 'Adpressa’ entspricht.

Nok Eisen : zentralnigerianische Eisenverhüttung in der Mitte des ersten Jahrtausends vor Christus
Authors:   , Junius Henrik
Published: June 2023

Based on excavations, excavation documentation and archaeometallurgical analyses, this thesis aims to characterise Nok iron production in central Nigeria through a contextually based investigation. In 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016, the Nok research project at Goethe University Frankfurt/Main in collaboration with the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Nigeria excavated 27 iron-smelting furnaces from 8 sites 60 kilometres north of Abuja. All furnaces date around the middle of the first millennium BCE. Absolute dates, relative pottery chronology and terracotta figurine finds in furnace contexts suggest their affiliation to the Nok context. In comparison, all 27 furnaces resemble each other closely regarding their design and spacial arrangement. The numbers of furnaces per site, furnace width, furnace wall angle and thickness as well as pits beneath the furnaces are just some features with similar qualities. The similarities of the smelting sites also extend into their finds: the structure of tuyères and their position in situ as well as macroscopic slag morphology and distribution. Find morphology and distribution as well as furnace structure suggest a highly standardized way of Nok iron production. However, archaeometallurgical analyses show heterogeneous use of raw materials between sites and/or furnaces. In similarly structured furnaces different kinds of iron ore were smelted leaving a high iron content in the respective slags. This hints at an early stage of iron production in which the smelting process was limited to one operative set-up.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the influence of the polymerization cycle on the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) of complete dentures. This review was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) question evaluated was “Does the microwave polymerization cycle influence the occlusal vertical dimension of complete dentures when compared to conventional water bath polymerization?”. The literature search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for relevant articles published up to March 2023. In vitro studies involving OVD measurement from complete dentures polymerized with different polymerization methods were included. The risk of bias was analyzed using the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Quasi-Experimental Studies (non-randomized experimental studies) from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The meta-analysis was based on the inverse variance (IV) methods with mean difference (MD) for OVD evaluation between techniques. Five articles were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 222 complete dentures were evaluated. In the polymerization cycles, microwave cycles with 90 W to 810 W between 3-5 minutes and conventional water bath cycles between 9-12 hours (long cycles) and 3-4 hours (short cycles) were used. In a quantitative analysis of polymerization methods, no statistically significant difference was found between water bath and microwave techniques [p = 0.99; MD: -0.00; CI = -0,26-0,26]. The current meta-analysis can be concluded that both techniques can be used to polymerization of complete dentures without significant clinical changes in the OVD.

This paper investigated the synthesis of inorganic polymer composites for electromagnetic radiation absorption using potassium titanates. The selected polyamide 6 and potassium polytitanate materials contain TiО2, K2СО3, and KCl obtained by charge sintering. Results showed that modification of polyamide 6 with sintering products in the form of a fine powder of potassium polytitanate that contains different phases K2O × 2TiO2, K2O × 4TiO2, and K2O × 6TiO2 which increased their strength properties. With increased potassium titanates (PTT) synthesis, a gradual transition from di to potassium hexatitanates occurs K2O × 2TiO2 – K2O × 4TiO2 – K2O × 6TiO2. The optimal content of potassium polytitanate was over 20 % by mass. To fully ensure the reinforcing effect due to the filling of potassium polytitanate polyamide 6, it is necessary to use whiskers K2O × 6TiO2, which can be collected by the additional crystallization of the amorphous charge sintering product. By designing experimental-statistical mathematical models in equal regressions, mathematical optimization of inorganic polymer composites for electromagnetic radiation absorption using PTT was carried out.

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) research and commercial production has recently experienced a global revival motivated by passage of laws reversing long-standing prohibitions and by expansion in markets. Collaborative research has been initiated in response to renewed interest in hemp production, such as the American Society for Horticultural Science Hemp Research and Extension Professional Interest Group (ASHS Hemp). Collaborators new to this crop have identified a lack of standard definitions, descriptions, and procedures for cohesive study specific to hemp production. Standards are necessary for synthesis of data gathered across research and industry programs. ASHS Hemp convened a workshop of hemp researchers and industry representatives to establish consensus on a minimum set of standards for research data and industry assessments. The resulting morphology and physiology standards developed at the workshop are presented here with a focus on plant height, flowering time, and crop quality. Plant height was defined as the vertical distance between the root crown at the soil surface and the stem node (or tip) of the apical meristem of the tallest branch. Plant height was importantly distinguished from stem length and canopy height, which may differ based on pruning and management of the plant. Flowering time was defined to indicate date of initiation of inflorescence development as the earliest day terminal flowering clusters appear visually. Flowering time was distinguished from solitary flowering behavior and floral maturity. Crop quality was determined to be a feature that should be established first by industry based on market standards and then subsequently adopted by researchers targeting outcomes in specific areas. A standard moisture content for dry flower, seed, and straw must be established. A moisture content of 10% to 12% was identified as a current standard for floral yield, whereas 8% was identified as a moisture content standard for seed crops. Bast-to-hurd ratio and decortication efficiency were fiber quality metrics identified for minimum standards, and thousand seed weight, protein content, oil content, and oil composition were considered for minimum seed quality standards. The hemp research community is well positioned to standardize genomic references and establish best management practices for production targets. These efforts would be assisted by the adoption of the proposed standard definitions, descriptions, and procedures decided by consensus at the ASHS Hemp 2022 workshop.
Effects of Harvest Maturity on Storability, Ripening Dynamics, and Fruit Quality of ‘Geneva 3’ Kiwiberries
Authors: Mumford Aislinn , Pliakoni Eleni D. , Hale Iago
Published: June 2023

Maturity at harvest is an important determinant of fruit quality in kiwiberry [Actinidia arguta (Siebold & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq.], a climacteric fruit that is harvested after reaching physiological maturity but not yet ready-to-eat ripeness. Although a recommended cultivar for commercial kiwiberry producers in the northeastern United States is ‘Geneva 3’, no published research exists regarding recommended harvest and postharvest practices for this variety. In this study, conducted across two seasons, ‘Geneva 3’ kiwiberries were harvested at a range of mean maturities (6.5, 8.0, and 10.0°Brix), held in cold storage for various durations (4, 6, and 8 weeks), and then ripened at room temperature. At regular time points during ripening (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days), visual quality was assessed, and measurements were taken of soluble solids content, dry matter content, and firmness as a means of characterizing fruit quality. Results show that berries harvested at 6.5°Brix largely became visually unacceptable under cold storage conditions and resulted in lower overall quality fruit. Harvesting at 8.0°Brix resulted in high-quality fruit amenable to cold storage, and such quality was not enhanced by delaying harvest to 10.0°Brix. Fruit harvested at 8.0°Brix after 4 weeks in cold storage was found to be acceptable for consumption for, on average, a 3-day window after ripening at room temperature for 4 days. After 6 weeks in cold storage, the consumability window shortened to ∼2 days, starting after 3 days of ripening at room temperature. After 8 weeks in cold storage, the fruit were found to be largely visually unacceptable for fresh eating. In summary, the results indicate that harvesting ‘Geneva 3’ kiwiberries at 8.0°Brix produces berries with the greatest storability (at least 6 weeks in cold storage), the longest window of peak consumability, and the highest overall quality, while mitigating the risks associated with leaving physiologically mature fruit to ripen further in the field.

Published: June 2023

Aerification and topdressing are important cultural management practices that help prevent organic matter accumulation and soil compaction in golf greens. However, these practices result in surface disruption and decreased putting quality during recovery. A 2-year study was conducted on a ‘TifEagle’ hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon × C. transvaalensis) putting green to determine the effect of different aerification methods and topdressing materials on soil properties and turfgrass recovery. Plots were aerified four times per year (May to Aug.) using 1/2-inch hollow tines, 1/4-inch hollow needle tines, hollow tines 2X + hollow needle tines 2X, or sand injection, and topdressed with either 90:10 (sand:peat) or green-dyed sand. Visual quality, normalized difference vegetation index, percent green cover, dark green color index (DGCI), surface firmness and volumetric water content were measured before initial aerification and at 7 and 21 days after aerification. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and organic matter (OM) content were measured monthly. Aerification with hollow tines and hollow tines 2X + hollow needle tines 2X resulted in lower firmness and OM and higher Ksat compared with hollow needle tines and sand injection. Sand injection showed the highest percent green cover and similar OM content compared with hollow tines and hollow tines 2X + hollow needle tines 2X. Green-dyed sand showed a higher percent green cover and DGCI compared with 90:10 sand:peat. Using hollow tines only or alternating them with hollow needle tines is the best option to decrease OM content while increasing Ksat in hybrid bermudagrass greens; however, their use could result in slower turfgrass recovery compared with other aerification methods.

Immature teratoma is a rare type of germ cell tumor that primarily affects young women and can present with diverse symptoms. We present a case of a 20-year-old female with a large abdominopelvic mass diagnosed as an immature teratoma. The patients chronic abdominopelvic pain and weight loss posed diagnostic challenges, but comprehensive diagnostic workup facilitated timely diagnosis and management. Radical surgery is the primary treatment option for immature teratomas, but alternative treatments such as chemotherapy may be appropriate in selected cases, particularly in young women with a desire to preserve fertility. A patient-centered approach is crucial for optimal outcomes. Further research is needed to determine the optimal chemotherapy regimen and duration of treatment for immature teratomas.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is the result of mechanical and biological events that destabilize the normal processes of degradation and synthesis of articular cartilage chondrocytes, extracellular matrix, and subchondral bone. All-polyethylene (AP) tibial components were largely abandoned in favour of metal-backed (MB) components in the 1980s. metal backing is now the predominant design in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The present study aimed to assess and compare the functional outcome, in patient with total knee replacement using all polyethylene and metal backed tibial prosthesis in Primary Total Knee Replacement. Material And Methods: Our is an analytical cross-sectional study in which we have included 36 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis kellgren Â–lawrence grade III, IV 18 patients in all poly group and 18 patients in metal backed group. In which during follow up X-rays and functional outcome was evaluated using the American Knee Society Score at 1, 3, and 6-month follow-ups for patients of both the groups and compared. Result: In all polyethylene groups the functional score at 1, 3 and 6 months were 51.39 + 8.1, 76.67 + 8.1 and 89.72 + 4.6 respectively. While in metal group, the mean functional scores were 50.28 + 5.8, 77.22 + 5.7 and 988.61 + 4.1 at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months respectively. The most common complication was stiffness in 13.9% of patients of both the groups followed by extension leg (5.6%), infection (2.8%) and proximal tibial fracture (2.8%) in both groups. In present study, 75% of the patient did not have any post operative complications among all study subjects. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference in clinical outcome between all polyethylene and metal backed, improved values in terms of functional and clinical scores preferably in both the group metal backed and all polyethylene group. This study is not without limitations. Even though it is prospective study, patients were followed for shorter duration only. Hence, a study with elegant methodology and long follow up period can accurately assess the efficacy of all polyethylene and metal backed prosthesis used in knee replacement surgery.

Introduction: There has been a continuing debate regarding whether the posterior cruciate ligament should be sacrificed or retained at the time of total knee arthroplasty.It is still controversial which approach is superior because both cruciate retaining prosthesis and posterior stabilizing prosthesis have advantages and disadvantages. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted on 37 patients (20 in Posterior Stabilized group and 17 in Cruciate Retaining group) fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The follow up was done at 1, 3 and 6 months during which functional outcome was compared using American Knee Society Score and associated complications were also compared. Results: At 6 months, the mean Knee Society Knee scores in Posterior Stabilized Group and Cruciate Retaining group were 91.05 Â± 3.53 and 90.12 Â± 3.57 respectively and mean Knee Society Functional scores were 89.75 Â± 4.44 and 88.52 Â± 4.24 respectively. The mean Knee Society Knee Score and Functional Score in both the groups were statistically not significant at pre-operative, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months as revealed by insignificant p value (>0.05). There were 3 complications in Posterior Stabilized Group which were 1 case of knee stiffness, 1 infection and 1 tibiofemoral subluxation. There were 2 complications in Cruciate Retaining Group which were 1 case of anterior knee pain and 1 periprosthetic proximal tibia fracture. Conclusions: Although, both the groups individually had significant improvement in regards to function from pre operative status to post operative status, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical and functional outcome between the two groups when compared with each other. However, the Posterior Stabilizing Total Knee Arthroplasty had better Range of motion score throughout the study. The complications associated with both the groups were comparable.

Through defamiliarizing glass, this article explores its qualities and properties, examining the way light interacts with it, how it reflects and refracts, and the innumerable ways it can be moulded and shaped. Site-specific installations will invite the viewer to engage with the art in a specific context, creating a deeper connection between the artwork and its environment. The scope of this article is to push the boundaries of the traditional use of glass, and to explore new ways of creating and experiencing art through defamiliarization. Ultimately, this research aims to inspire a greater appreciation for the world around us and encourage viewers to see the beauty in the ordinary. The construction stages and resulting site-specific installations were recorded by photography, and the figure section provides visual representations of these documented stages. This research employs a qualitative approach, including a review of relevant literature, and will primarily utilize an experimental, practice-based methodology.

A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.This research emphasizes on pharmacological evaluation of anti-colon cancer effect of escitalopram in albino mice by using behavioral and hematological models. Animal House, Aryakul College of Pharmacy & Research, Lucknowprovided albino mice of either sex weighing 70-90g. All the animals were divided into 5 groups (n=6) Group 1 (NC): Mice are administered only 0.25% CMC once a week up to 28 days. Group 2 (CC): Mice are administered DMH (40mg/kg, o.d.) once a week up to 28 days. Group 3 (PC): Mice are administered DMH (40mg/kg, o.d.) once a week up to 28 days + Fluorouracil (10mg/kg) once a day for 15 days. Group 4 (T1): Mice are administered DMH (40mg/kg) once a week up to 28 days + Escitalopram (5mg/kg) once a day for 15 days. Group 5 (T2): Mice are administered DMH (40mg/kg) once in a week up to 28 days + Escitalopram (10mg/kg) once a day for 15 days.They were evaluated for parameters like determination of pH, acidity, of ALT, AST & LDH levels and estimation of lipid profile. The results of the current study demonstrate that Escitalopram administration influences ameliorating anticancer effects by altering several processes, including Phase I & II biotransformation. lipid peroxidation, enzymes, antioxidants, and histopatholgical alterations. It concluded that Escitalopram is effective in management of colon cancer in animal model. This study suggests that Escitalopram can also be given in the treatment of colorectal cancer in human beings after successful clinical trials.

Digitalization contributed to the modernization of public administration, particularly e-government development. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of e-government in improving the efficiency of public administration in Kazakhstan. The research methods are comparative, economic-statistical, and qualitative content analysis. The sources of statistical data were the Bureau of National Statistics, the Committee of public services, the e-government portal, and reports of international organizations and national development institutions. The study determined that e-government is a modern paradigm of public administration that contributes to the efficiency of public administration; its development and efficiency are significantly influenced by financial, economic, technological, and legal factors. Kazakhstan has a high level of e-government development. The e-government development portal in Kazakhstan has contributed to improving public administration, especially during the pandemic. However, e-government requires further development, as its functioning has various issues (low degree of information relevance, insufficient portal filling, and low share of automated functions). At the same time, the readiness of public administration organizations for digital transformation is medium. The study proposes recommendations for Kazakhstan’s e-government development to improve public administration, mainly developing technological infrastructure and digital human capital. The results can contribute to the further e-government development in Kazakhstan and enrich the theoretical base in increasing the efficiency of public administration in the context of digital transformation.

Published: June 2023

Carbonyl compounds (CC) can be formed during the craft beer production process, which influence the sensory properties, in addition to their toxicity. The formation of bound-CC, in craft beers, is favored by the high reactivity of these substances. This work aimed to quantify 15 carbonyl compounds, in free and bound forms, in craft beers using hydrolysis (bound-CC only) and derivatization reactions. Acetaldehyde concentrations ranged from 8.83 to 466.1 µg L-1 (free fraction) and 22.47 to 1665 µg L-1 (bound fraction). Other compounds found were acrolein (free + boundmax.: 2897 µg L-1), benzaldehyde (free + boundmax.: 1326 µg L-1), heptanal (free + boundmax.: 1140 µg L-1) and formaldehyde (free + boundmax.: 97.73 µg L-1). Craft beers showed a proportion of up to 76% for CC in the bound form, which can be related to undesirable flavors in beverages. The consumption of craft beers containing free- and bound-CC (especially acrolein) could pose a risk to the health of frequent consumers.

Artificial neural networks are becoming more popular with the development of artificial intelligence. These networks require large amounts of data to function effectively, especially in the field of computer vision. The quality of an object detector is primarily determined by its architecture, but the quality of the data it uses is also important. In this study, we explore the use of novel data set enhancement technique to improve the performance of the YOLOv5 object detector. Overall, we investigate three methods: first, a novel approach using synthetic object replicas to augment the existing real data set without changing the size of the data set; second - rotation augmentation data set propagating technique and their symbiosis, third, only one required class is supplemented. The solution proposed in this article improves the data set with a help of supplementation and augmentation. Lower the influence of the imbalanced data sets by data supplementation with synthetic yeast cell replicas. We also determine the average supplementation values for the data set to determine how many percent of the data set is most effective for the supplementation.
O “ESTADO DA ARTE” DA PESQUISA DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EM DIREITO ADMINISTRATIVO: UMA ANÁLISE BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Faria Luzardo , Dallari Bucci Maria Paula
Published: June 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar, a partir de levantamento bibliográfico, as pesquisas realizadas na área do Direito Administrativo sobre a temática de políticas públicas, no recorte temporal da década de 2010 (2010-2019). A amostragem que ilustra esse “mapa da área” foi apurada em pesquisa dos artigos publicados em periódicos científicos de Direito Administrativo da base de dados da Editora Fórum durante esse período. A análise dos resultados identifica três grandes tendências para as pesquisas sobre políticas públicas em Direito Administrativo: (i) artigos sobre controle das políticas públicas; (ii) artigos que analisam políticas públicas em de setores específicos; (iii) artigos que fazem um uso retórico do termo “políticas públicas”, sem preocupação conceitual. Também foram localizados artigos que visam instrumentalizar institutos clássicos do Direito Administrativo em prol das políticas públicas. Ao final, busca-se uma compreensão sistemática da contribuição que a disciplina do Direito Administrativo pode trazer para a abordagem de Direito e Políticas Públicas.
ACCOUNTABILITY NA GOVERNANÇA PÚBLICA BRASILEIRA: DIAGNÓSTICO DO ESTADO DA ARTE DO INSTITUTO E DIÁLOGOS COM O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À BOA ADMINISTRAÇÃO
Authors: Da Costa e Silva Thalita , Macedo Motta Fabrício
Published: June 2023

Este artigo explora o estado da arte da accountability e trata de seus conceitos e modalidades já consolidadas por figuras notórias da doutrina. Além disso, aborda sobre o modo como o direito fundamental à boa administração, respaldado pelos direitos fundamentais à informação e à probidade, considera que a accountability é basilar para a consecução da boa administração. Também apresenta o percurso da evolução dos modelos de gestão desde a Administração Pública brasileira até a Governança Pública, seus conceitos e vantagens, e mostra como a accountability é tratada como elemento essencial desses modelos. A abordagem metodológica utilizada para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi bibliográfica e documental. Além disso, a pesquisa tem característica dialético-descritiva porque as ideias aqui apresentadas dialogam com o contexto social brasileiro, descrevendo-o em algumas particularidades. Ao final, observou-se que a preocupação com a tradução da accountability não deve mais ser priorizada, pois a ocupação deve ser dada ao desenvolvimento de métodos para sua efetiva aplicabilidade no contexto brasileiro, notadamente no que concerne ao novo paradigma da administração (Governança Pública), a qual é vista como instrumento democratizante. Por fim, ressalta-se que, no melhor dos cenários, a inserção da accountability ainda pode ser vista apenas de forma incremental, por não se tratar de uma reforma administrativa, mas de um processo de transformação de práticas e ideais.

Ante o agravamento das questões climáticas em escala mundial, as Nações Unidas a partir dos anos setenta veem realizando uma série de conferências internacionais com o objetivo de promoverem reformas no modelo de crescimento econômico, no qual esse contemple também inclusão social e preservação ambiental. Especificamente no que se refere a questão ambiental, em particular a climática, foi realizado em 2015 em Paris, a 21° Conferência das Partes, na qual asnações se comprometeram em empreender esforços para conter o crescimento da temperatura até 1,5 °C até 2030, por meio de resultados de mitigação transferidos internacionalmente para cumprir as Contribuições Determinadas Nacionalmente. Especificamente no que se refere ao Brasil, para a consecução dos objetivos supracitados foi elaborado o programa RenovaBio, Política Nacional de Biocombustíveis, instituída pela Lei n.o 13.576/2017, que terá importantes impactos no setor sucroenergético. Nesse sentido justifica-se um estudo sobre o RenovaBio no setor sucroenergético a partir da seguintes objetivos: discorrer sobre o RenovaBio e sua inserção no setor sucroenergético através dos procedimentos estabelecidos em atos normativos regulamentadores. Para tanto, o método de pesquisa utilizado foi o qualitativo documental indireta e exploratória. Ante a importância do setor sucroenergético para a economia brasileira, como também para a otimização da eficiência energética e preservação ambiental pode fincar de vez o seu protagonismo na tecnologia sustentável para a produção de combustíveis. E tudo isto agregando valor para aqueleque investir firmemente neste sentido, com o retorno das CBIO ́s, gerando grandes oportunidades.

O presente artigo aborda uma violação dos direitos humanos e um problema de saúde pública: a mortalidade materna. Essa questão é delicada para as mulheres brasileiras, visto que o país já teve uma condenação desse tipo de morte em um órgão internacional, relacionado ao caso Alyne Pimentel. Alyne foi uma das inúmeras mulheres que faleceram pela negligência estatal sobre a mortalidade materna. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar quais mecanismos existem para o enfrentamento da mortalidade materna, analisando os reflexos e mudanças acerca do tema. O artigo tem como pergunta de pesquisa se os mecanismos de combate da mortalidade mana são eficazes. O método aplicado na pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, sendo analisado o perfil da parturiente que falece, a violação de direitos humanos que ocorre, e por fim, a legislação e medidas que estão no escopo acerca do tema. Além da análise do caso da responsabilização no Comitê de Eliminação Contra Todas as Formas de Discriminação Contra as Mulheres, CEDAW “Alyne Pimentel vs. Brazil”, caso este que mostrou a vulnerabilidade da mulher no sistema de saúde.
