Authors: Alhalafi Abdullah , Alhalafi Abdullah
Published: November 2023

Objective:
This study aimed to assess the awareness of osteoporosis among the general population in Bisha, Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2023 in Bisha, Saudi Arabia. A web-based self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from a total of 808 participants aged 18 years and older who lived in Bisha. Sociodemographic data were collected and the participants had to answer 10 questions about osteoporosis and its risk factors.
Results:
Out of the 808 participants, 693 (85.8%) were males and 115 (14.2%) were females, with a mean age of 35±10 years. The results showed that 44.6% study population had a good knowledge regarding osteoporosis and its risk factors. Age, education, and employment were associated with higher knowledge of osteoporosis and its risk factors. Most participants were aware of some risk factors, such as vitamin D deficiency, low calcium intake, and physical inactivity contributing to the development of osteoporosis.
Conclusion:
Only 44.6% study population had a good knowledge regarding osteoporosis and its risk factors. It showed that several participants\' characteristics, such as advanced age, high educational level, and employment, were associated with higher knowledge of osteoporosis and its risk factors. Strategies to increase the awareness of osteoporosis should include implementing health promotion interventions especially educational programs that would help in preventing osteoporosis and decrease the burden of this disease in the future.
Nüfus Değişimlerinin Köyün Bazı Özellikleri ile İlişkisi ve KırsaldaNüfus Sürdürülebilirliği: Tokat İli Örneği
Authors: Ergün Aysel , Oruç Esen
Published: November 2023

Bu araştırma Tokat ili kırsalında nüfus hareketlerini değerlendirmek, köylere ait bazı özellikleri belirlemek ve nüfus hareketleri ile bu özellikler arasında ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada kullanılan nüfus verileri TÜİK veri sisteminden derlenmiş, köylere ait özellikler ise 600 köy muhtarı ile görüşülerek belirlenmiştir. 16 yıllık süreci kapsayan veri setinin değerlendirilmesi ile varılan sonuçlara göre, Tokat il ve ilçelerine bağlı köylerden %78,8’i azalış göstermiştir. Artan veya sabit kalan köylerin oranı ise %21,2’dir. Araştırma alanında çiftçilik faaliyetlerini devam ettirerek geçimini sağlayan bir nüfusun varlığından söz edilebilir. Tarım dışı meslek çeşitliliğinin yörede kısıtlı düzeyde olduğu, köylerin genellikle orta gelir grubu hanelerden oluştuğu söylenebilir. Kuru tarım alanlarının fazla olmasına bağlı olarak üretimin en yoğun olduğu ürün grubu tarla bitkileridir. Hayvancılık faaliyetleri düşük oranlı bir nüfus tarafından sürdürülmektedir. Köylerin il merkezine mesafesi ortalama 66,2 km’dir. Ki-kare analiz sonuçlarına göre nüfus değişimi ile il merkezine mesafe, çiftçilik ve tarım dışı meslek oranı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Şiddetli azalan köyler il merkezine en uzak köylerdir. Ayrıca, çiftçiliğin ve diğer meslek çeşitliliğinin fazla olduğu köylerde de şiddetli göç yaşandığı tespit edilmiştir. Kırsalda var olan genç ve orta yaş grubun kırsalda yaşamaya devam etmesi ve kente göç etmiş aynı grubun köyde yaşamayı tercih etmesi için genel desteklerden farklı destekleme çalışmaları yapılabilir. Özellikle hayvancılık faaliyetlerinin canlandırılması gençlerin köyde kalması veya gidenlerin köye dönmesi için bir alternatif olabilir.

Empathie und Empirie: Rogers’ Verstehenszugänge und ihre Voraussetzungen in der Erkenntnistheorie Schopenhauers
Authors: Lukits Gerhard
Published: November 2023

Im vorliegenden Artikel versucht der Autor, eine mögliche geistesgeschichtliche Voraussetzung des Personzentrierten Ansatzes zu skizzieren. Er geht dabei seiner Beobachtung nach, dass es bei maßgeblichen philosophischen Strömungen, von denen sich Rogers prägen ließ, Bezugnahmen auf das Denken Schopenhauers gibt. So sei es, neben allen Unterschieden in anderen Hinsichten, zu bemerkenswerten Übereinstimmungen zwischen Schopenhauer und Rogers gekommen, wo es um eine grundlegende doppelte Struktur der menschlichen Wirklichkeit und mögliche Zugänge zu ihr geht. Schopenhauers zwei Wirklichkeitsebenen „Wille“ und „Vorstellung“ finden sich demnach in Rogers’ theoretischen Annahmen von „Aktualisierungstendenz“ (bzw. einer „Formativen Tendenz“) und „Selbstkonzept“ wieder. Hat Rogers also, wohl ohne maßgeblich Schopenhauer selbst rezipiert zu haben, Teile seiner Philosophie wieder zusammengeführt, die von an ihn anschließenden Strömungen vereinseitigt worden waren? Damit hätte er eine Theorie geschaffen, die in ihrer Grundfigur an diejenige Schopenhauers angelehnt ist, und die sich durch ihre Offenheit für zweifundamental verschiedene Gesichtspunkte auszeichnet. Ihnen entsprechen demnach als Verstehenszugänge Empathie und Empirie – auf die ihr in der Psychotherapie zuordenbaren Bereiche ließe sich dann auch die Philosophie Schopenhauers klärend befragen. Denn „Verwirrung entsteht nur dann, wenn es nicht klar ist, um welchen Typ von Wissen es sich im speziellen Falle handelt.“ (Rogers, s. u.)

Published: November 2023

Electrical energy is an essential resource for human needs. The prolific utilization of electrical devices accounts for high energy consumption patterns. Resistive and inductive loads characterize conventional electrical equipment. In practice, the properties of electrical loads impact energy demand and system efficiency. Thus, power factor correction presents a viable strategy to improve electrical energy efficiency. This research aims to develop an Internet of Things-integrated power factor monitoring system. When connected to Wi-Fi, the system employs a PZEM-004T sensor to monitor current, voltage, power, and power factor measurements from the load in the absence of active monitoring. The ESP32 microcontroller processes the sensor data. Then, control programs running on the microcontroller instruct a relay to engage capacitive banks accordingly. The system displays output metrics on a Liquid Crystal Display and Android application. Experimental results indicate that a single-phase electric motor operates at a baseline power factor of 0.31. However, integration of the factor correction tool detailed herein improves the power factor to 0.98 for the given load.
Methodological basis for studying the ethical component of the Buddhist creed
Authors: Erendzhenova Yulia Yur'evna
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is a methodological toolkit for a comprehensive study of ethical ideas contained in the creed of traditional Russian Buddhists — Kalmyks, Buryats, Tuvans, Altaians. The purpose of this study is to substantiate philosophical understanding of the ethical component of the text “Refuge”, recited by traditional Buddhists of Russia. The choice of methodological approaches, principles and methods is determined by the philosophical orientalist paradigm, when Buddhist materials are considered in their integrity, in their inextricable connection with human and culture. Important addition is taking into account ideas of Buddhologist O. O. Rosenberg, who advocated the study of the “living” tradition of Buddhism. The novelty of the study lies in substantiation that a holistic understanding of the ethical component of the Russian Buddhists' creed can be obtained by combining three approaches: philosophy of culture, philosophy of religion, and philosophical anthropology. Philosophical cultural dimension will allow focusing on categories of Buddhist ethics set out in the text “Refuge” and taking into account comments of Buddhist authors in accordance with the principle of “cognitive modesty” of intercultural philosophy. The philosophical religious approach allows to consider the ethical component of the text “Refuge” in a soteriological context and show its place in the Buddhist religious complex. Philosophical anthropology will make it possible to identify the probable subjective meaning of the ethical component of the text “Refuge” for Buddhists. Such a comprehensive philosophical analysis of Russian Buddhists' creed will lead to the discovery of the foundations of their spiritual and moral values.
Impact of Government Advertisements about Agricultural Information in Sensitising Rural Farmers: A Study of Marathwada Region in Maharashtra
Authors: Bhogale Prachi , Singha Roy Namrata
Published: November 2023

To stimulate the agricultural sector, the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, has initiated a myriad of welfare initiatives aimed at farmers, entailing a substantial financial commitment. A portion of this financial outlay is also allocated to the dissemination of pertinent information among the farming community. However, a pertinent question arises: does this information reach the rural farmers and do they avail the benefit? The present study attempts to address this issue. Based on a tested questionnaire, a primary survey was conducted in Marathwada region of Maharashtra where the incidence of agrarian crisis is insurmountable. The study found a limited impact of government advertisements regarding agricultural information on farmers in terms of increasing their awareness level. The primary conduit for agricultural information, as ascertained by the study, predominantly stems from informal sources. Among the socio-economic characteristics, only education and land ownership are found to have an impact on the level of awareness and their willingness to acquire information on agriculture. The percentages of farmers, who are aware of the scheme and get its benefits, do not even exceed 30 per cent, irrespective of the scheme under consideration. It was found that only limited farmers are taking benefit of the scheme even after receiving information. A general disinterest was observed among the farmers because of the heavy paperwork of availing those benefits. To engender a constructive transformation in farmers’ awareness levels regarding agricultural schemes and programmes, a well-thought-out and strategic endeavour becomes indispensable.

Authors: Agus Purwowidodo
Published: November 2023

M-Learning-E-Book is an innovative learning model that is relevant to the demands of the twenty-first-century scheme. Studies on M-Learning-E-Book are still not widely conducted by Indonesian researchers and the study is still limited to the effect of this model on student learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of M-Learning-E-Book implementation on higher-order thinking skills, retention, and learning motivation. This research used quasi quasi-experimental method through pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The research subjects were students of SMP Negeri Ngunut 1, 2023 academic year, totaling 87 experimental classes and 76 control classes in PAI lessons. In the control class, students followed learning in the form of expository and class discussions, while in the experimental class, students followed learning through E-book-based M-learning. In the experimental class, students met face-to-face for 4 times of online learning equivalent to 4 meetings. The research was conducted when the research subjects in both classes received the topic aspects of islamic history and culture. The instruments used to collect data were higher-order thinking skills test sheets, retention of learning outcomes, and motivation questionnaires. The data obtained were then analyzed using one-way MANOVA analysis with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the application of M-Learning-E-Book had a significant effect on the achievement of higher-order thinking skills, retention, and learning motivation.  The results of this study indicate that M-Learning-E-Book is one of the learning alternatives that are by the demands of the twenty-first century.

Plants have a complex chemo-diversity and represent a reservoir of potential new therapeutic agents. Within a Swiss research project, six scientific research groups from different disciplines are collaborating to investigate a collection of more than 17’000 unique dried plant extracts. It aims to find new bioactive molecules and their modes of action, with for example anti-infective or pro-metabolic activities. One of the main challenges of this enterprise is the management, integration and sharing of the highly heterogeneous data that are produced by the different research groups. Among these we find (i) massive high-resolution mass spectrometry data, (ii) the numerical results of innovative chemo-informatics methods, (iii) bioassay results from experimental models of tuberculosis and obesity, and (iv) organic synthetic chemistry. Additionally, requirements for data management plan and open-source science with the FAIR principles must be met. We have established an agile pipeline to capture and structure this heterogeneous data into an RDF graph. The data content's gradual expansion and evolution throughout the project presented considerable challenges, particularly in terms of data modeling. Additionally, despite many collaborators not being RDF experts, most were technically adept at producing RDF triples relevant to their contributions. We have deployed multiple instances of a triplestore and developed an in-house custom tool (i.e. KGSteward) to synchronize their content, based on a configuration file, which is centrally managed and version-controlled using Git. This strategy gave us the flexibility required to address global project challenges in common data management effectively.
Ab initio investigation of excited state charge transfer pathways in differently capped bithiophene cages
Authors: Shaalan Ahmad , Szalay Péter G. , Tajti Attila
Published: November 2023

The electronic excitations of conformationally constrained bithiophene cage systems as previously investigated by Lewis et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 143, 18548 (2021)) are revisited, employing the correlated ab initio Scaled Opposite-Spin Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction Second Order (SOS-ADC(2)) electronic structure method. Quantitative descriptors are determined to assess the extent of charge transfer between the bithiophene moieties and the capping domains, represented by either phenyl or triazine groups. The investigation substantiates intrinsic differences in the photochemical behavior of these two structural variants and reveals the presence of lower-energy excited states characterized by noteworthy charge transfer contributions in the triazine cage system. The manifestation of this charge transfer character is discernible even at the Franck-Condon geometry, persisting throughout the relaxation of the excited state. By examining isolated monomer building blocks, we confirm the existence of analogous charge transfer contributions in their excitations. Employing this methodological approach facilitates the prospective identification of potential wall/cap chromophore pairs, wherein charge transfer pathways can be accessed within the energetically favorable regime.

Published: November 2023

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known for their high environmental persistence and potential toxicity. The presence of PFAS has been reported in many dairy products. However, the mechanisms underlying PFAS accumulation in these products and the impact of these contaminants on milk protein function remain unclear. Here, we used native mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations to probe the interactions between 19 PFAS of environmental concern and two isoforms of the major bovine whey protein β-lactoglobulin (β-LG). We observed that six of these PFAS bound to both protein isoforms with low to mid-micromolar dissociation constants. Based on competitive binding experiments with endogenous ligands, PFAS can bind orthosterically and preferentially to β-LG’s hydrophobic ligand-binding calyx. Interestingly, we also observed that β-cyclodextrin can suppress PFAS binding to β-LG, owing to the ability of β-cyclodextrin to directly sequester PFAS from solution. Together, this research sheds light on PFAS—β-LG binding, suggesting that such interactions could impact lipid/fatty acid transport in bovine mammary glands. Furthermore, our results highlight the potential use of β-cyclodextrin in mitigating PFAS binding, providing insights towards the development of strategies to reduce PFAS accumulation in dairy products and other biological systems.
Isolation, identification & computational screening of phytochemical from the seed of wild pistachio
Authors: Aziz Muhammad
Published: November 2023

Dementia is the most common disease globally and one of the leading causes of disability and disease burden worldwide. The proposed research was designed for the isolation and identification of cholinesterase inhibitors, anti-inflammatory compounds, and compounds that accentuate cardiac and oral toxicity. A comprehensive approach was designed to study dementia at the molecular level. Acetylcholinesterase is a class of anti-dementia target agents. The recent trend prevailing nowadays is to fight disorders with natural products, which also benefit secondary risk factors, and this trend is increasing day by day. The gas chromatography method was used for the identification of these organic compounds. Therefore, sesquiterpenoid & terpinen present in wild pistachio were selected for the current pilot study. The results suggest that alpha-eudesmol and terpinen-4-ol aid in inflammation by blocking cox-2, and do not induce adverse side effects on cardiac rhythm. Oral toxicity results, vital organ toxicity, and chemical properties of ligands were tabulated. The mentioned molecule may be treated as a prospective new anti-inflammatory and anti-dementia candidate.

Published: November 2023

In a scenario in which the manufacturing of high-performance, safe batteries on an unprecedented large scale is crucial for the energy transition and fight against climate change, research laboratories and production industries are facing problems due to the lack of efficient data management and training tools. In this context, the use of intelligent devices plays an important role on the path towards the optimization of the manufacturing process and the enhancement of the battery performance while reducing production costs. In this paper, we show how Mixed Reality devices can be used for data collection and training in real-time in research laboratories and pilot lines. We introduce a Mixed Reality application run on Microsoft HoloLens 2 glasses, and provide a deep analysis on the ergonomic and usability analysis performed, and how we solved the problems found during its development. Thanks to this application, users can collect data while keeping their hands free and receive advice in real time to design and build batteries with tailored properties. This solves the problem of data management in dangerous environments, like research laboratories dealing with toxic chemical products, in which data collection becomes the most challenging part. Now, thanks to Mixed Reality, users can collect data in the place of work, save this data automatically on a server and exploit this data to receive advice and feedback back through the Mixed Reality device. It can also be used to support learning in the experimental environment.
Electrocatalytic Ammonia Oxidation with a Tailored Molecular Catalyst Heterogenized via Surface Host-Guest Complexation

Published: November 2023

Macrocyclic host molecules bound to electrode surfaces enable the complexation of catalytically active guests for molecular heterogeneous catalysis. We present a surface-anchored host-guest complex with the ability to electrochemically oxidize ammonia in both organic and aqueous solutions. With an adamantyl mo-tif as the binding group on the backbone of the molecular catalyst [Ru(bpy-NMe2)(tpada)(Cl)](PF6) (1) (where bpy-NMe2 is 4,4’-bis(dimethylamino)-2,2’-bipyridyl, tpada is 4'-(adamantan-1-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine), high binding constants with β-cyclodextrin were observed in solution (in dmso-d6: D2O (7:3), K11 = 492 ± 21 M-1). The strong binding affinities also transferred to a mesoporous ITO (mITO) surface functionalized with a phosphonated derivative of β-cyclodextrin. The newly designed catalyst (1) was com-pared to the previously reported naphthyl-substituted catalyst [Ru(bpy-NMe2)(tpnp)(Cl)](PF6) (2) (where tpnp is 4'-(naphthalene-2-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) for its stability during catalysis. Despite the insulating nature of the adamantyl substituent serving as the binding group, the stronger binding of this unit to the host functionalized electrode and the resulting shorter distance between the catalytic active center and the surface led to better performance and higher stability. Both guests are able to oxidize ammonia in both organic and aqueous solutions and the host-anchored electrode can be refunctionalized multiple times (>3) following loss of the catalytic activity, without a reduction in performance. Guest 1 exhibits significantly higher stability in comparison to guest 2 towards basic conditions, which often constitutes a challenge for anchored molecular systems. Ammonia oxidation in water led to the selective formation of NO3- with faradaic efficiencies of up to 98%.
Against Deference to Authority
Authors: Quigley Travis
Published: November 2023

Joseph Raz’s service conception of law remains one of the best known theories of political authority. Setting aside ongoing debates about the nature of authority, I locate a problem in the basic justificatory structure of the service conception. I show that the service justification of the state does not yield the conclusion that the law generates exclusionary reasons, which are meant to be the key hallmark of authority. An automatic but defeasible habit of obeying the state is likely to lead to better outcomes than exclusionary deference to the state. Given the instrumental justification of the service conception, this means that exclusionary reasons to defer do not obtain. Habituation and automaticity have been developed in other contexts and are here extended to the context of political authority. The possibility of habitual obedience undercuts Raz's theory while suggesting a new approach to the question of political authority
O “cabra macho” veste saia: novas masculinidades no cenário patriarcal
Authors: Pineda Garcia Jorge Luis , De Barros Simone Grace
Published: November 2023

Existe uma discussão crescente na mídia e no jornalismo especializado em moda, que sugere uma maior aproximação por parte do público masculino à adoção da saia como vestimenta. No entanto, no nordeste brasileiro, visualizar homens vestindo a peça continua sendo um fato esporádico. Portanto, nosso trabalho buscou dar visibilidade real aos usuários de saia masculina, estabelecendo a cidade do Recife como ponto de referência para nossas investigações. Os estudos concebidos sobre o masculino (Connell, 1995; Kimmel, 1997) e sobre a história regional (Albuquerque, 1999, 2009; 2013) foram as bases teóricas para este trabalho, o qual se guiou pelos seguintes questionamentos: quem são esses homens, que espaços ocupam e quais são as adversidades que enfrentam por usarem uma peça tida como feminina no imaginário coletivo? Concluiu-se, assim, que as particularidades que acompanham o ato de vestir uma saia masculina estão ligadas ao contexto, à educação e à cultura próprios da região, sendo o histórico patriarcal da cidade um fator determinante nas novas masculinidades.
Online national citizen's ID renewal system
Authors: John Molson , Glorindal G.
Published: November 2023

Through the National Registration Bureau (NRB), the Malawi government introduced mandatory registration and the issuance of National Identity Cards (IDs) to its bona fide Malawian citizens aged 16 and above, in accordance with the Registration Act of 2010. This administration is currently carried out manually in a few designated National Registration Bureau (NRB) offices. As a result, citizens find it time-consuming and congested to renew their IDs in case of loss, damage, or expiration. Due to these drawbacks, there was a need for a new system that could help overcome these challenges, leading to the proposition of an "Online National Citizen's ID Renewal System. The system is aimed at simplifying the process of renewing national ID cards for Malawian citizens in a convenient and secure manner. Through the web portal provided by the system, citizens are able to complete the renewal process in one sitting without being required to physically visit the National Registration Bureau offices (NRB). The functionality of the system requires citizens to create an account, wherein their names and their previous ID numbers are used as usernames and passwords, respectively, or credentials to log in to the system. Once the information has been verified, citizens would be able to access renewal or registration forms (which are currently collected, filled, and submitted manually) and pay the relevant renewal fee, which is currently at MWK2500, through secure payment gateways. To ensure the security and privacy of the citizens' personal information, the system is implementing industry-standard encryption and authentication protocols and is complying with data protection laws and regulations mandated by the Malawi Government. The online national Citizens ID renewal system will provide a more efficient, accessible, and secure system for managing citizen ID renewals. It has also reduced waiting times, improved accuracy, and increased accessibility for all citizens, while also providing better security and efficiency for government staff managing the system. The Online National Citizen's ID Renewal System is expected to improve the current manual ID renewal system, which poses several challenges and limitations, such as long waiting times, errors, inaccuracies, and inefficiency.

Alterações posturais e dor nas costas são problemas de saúde coletiva devido à alta prevalência mundial. Assim, a promoção da saúde pode ser trabalhada com escolares, integrando a atuação fisioterapeuta-escola. Buscou-se refletir sobre o conhecimento prévio dos escolares sobre o tema e compreender sua prática, além de identificar, a partir dos diálogos, o saber da experiência. Estudo qualitativo por sistematização de experiência com escolares do 4º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram verificados por análise de conteúdo de Bardin e referencial teórico Jorge Larrosa Bondìa e Paulo Freire. Foram aplicadas atividades lúdicas e rodas de conversas sobre hábitos saudáveis e autocuidado da coluna. Identificou-se que os estudantes traziam conhecimento, mas nem sempre o praticavam. A escuta mostrou que a escola e a família são fundamentais para a orientação das práticas de cuidado e o fisioterapeuta deve se aproximar, para extrair dos diálogos, a realidade vivida.
Dynamics and Structure of Investments in the Main Types of Economic Activity in Russia After 2014
Authors: Kazantsev S. V.
Published: November 2023

The multidirectional, hybrid warfare war against the Russian Federation, launched in March 2014 and designed for many years, makes it necessary to strengthen the country’s power. Investments in the fixed capital of the main activities of society largely contribute to giving stability to the economic, financial, scientific, technological, military-technical potential of the state. The purpose of the study, the results of which are presented in this paper, was to find an answer to the following question. Are investments directed in Russia in those economic activities that contribute most to the development of the country’s economy, as well as in industries that are most dependent on the state of affairs in foreign trade? An analysis of the data presented in the Rosstat’s collections “Russian Statistical Yearbook” for 2015–2022 showed that after 2010, investments in fixed capital of the most dependent on foreign trade economic activities in the Russian Federation grew faster than other groups of activities. The growth rates of investments in fixed capital of those types of economic activities, the development of which contributes to the expansion of other types of activities, were higher than the all-Russian ones until 2017. The reason is that economic entities, having adapted to the anti-Russian sanctions, the main damage of which, according to the author, was inflicted on the domestic economy in 2015–2016, accelerated the growth of investments in other economic activities. The overall structure of investments in fixed capital of 47 types of economic activity in 2021 differs little from the structure of 2014.

Authors: Zaripov I. A.
Published: November 2023

In the current severe political and economic situation, Russia radically needs revising its development strategy, finding truly reliable and long-term partners. Among the most preferred counterparts for building long-term mutually beneficial relations are the Islamic states, which prefer to use a financial model complaint with their confessional principles. The Islamic financial model is relevant for Russia not only as a tool to attract Islamic investments, but also as a framework for building strong relations with most solid partners. Despite the fact that the Islamic financial model is criticized from the inside, and not devoid of certain shortcomings, the principles laid down in it will be able to ensure the even development of the economy and reduce social tensions through a fair redistribution of income. This article tells about the development of Islamic finance in the world and in Russia.

Authors: Andrade Divina de Jesus Almeida , Costa Eduardo José Monteiro da
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo objetiva compreender a formação e a expansão da fronteira econômica do município de Parauapebas-PA a partir do estabelecimento de determinantes socioeconômicas e políticas, utilizando como base teórica a Teoria Institucional, a partir do uso da Compensação Financeira pela Exploração de Recursos Minerais (CFEM) nesta localidade, localizando um problema seguido de hipóteses a serem testadas, formulado segundo o método hipotético-dedutivo. Tem como objetivo identificar, através da perspectiva da Teoria Institucional, se os recursos oriundos da mineração, principal matriz econômica do município de Parauapebas (maior arrecadador da CFEM do referido estado), são utilizados para financiar políticas públicas de incentivo ao desenvolvimento da localidade. No Plano metodológico, utilizou-se a pesquisa documental-bibliográfica, a fim de analisar como os recursos orçamentários e financeiros oriundos da CFEM de Parauapebas estão sendo investidos e se estas contribuições são positivas para o desenvolvimento deste município. Nos resultados da pesquisa, constatou-se
o uso indevido da referida renda (CFEM), por não ser utilizado para atingir indicadores socioeconômicos que tornem Parauapebas independente de atividades mineralógicas.
NEUTRALIZAÇÃO DE CARBONO: UMA PROPOSTA AO PLANEJAMENTO REGIONAL CONDUZIDO PELA SUDAM
Authors: Santos Walter Delciney Silva dos , Ribeiro Adagenor Lobato
Published: November 2023

O Plano Regional de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia (PRDA) é o instrumento de planejamento do desenvolvimento regional que norteia as ações da Sudam que, como política pública, deve contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Entre os seus pilares, há o eixo ambiental, que deve promover a conservação e uso sustentável dos recursos naturais. A busca pela transição para uma economia de baixo carbono é fundamental para que os impactos do aquecimento sejam mitigados e contribua para do desenvolvimento sustentável. A Neutralização do Carbono é uma alternativa para combater as emissões dos GEEs e o desequilíbrio do efeito estufa. As teorias que conduziram o trabalho foram as teorias dos sistemas e desenvolvimento sustentável, em razão de que elas ponderam as questões a partir da totalidade. A metodologia que serviu para estruturar o trabalho é exploratória, realizada a partir de um levantamento bibliográfico e documental, por meio de um levantamento de acervo referente ao assunto em que se busca a intervenção que contribua para uma economia descarbonizada. Concluiu-se pela confirmação da hipótese, uma vez que o PRDA possui uma responsabilidade socioambiental na região amazônica e o mesmo pode assumir compromissos para a redução ou a compensação de emissão de gases de efeito estufa, e assim contribuir para a mitigação dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas no planeta, a partir da adoção da neutralização de carbono nos projetos
que formam o plano, e gerar estímulos e indução por serviços ambientais direcionados à geração de créditos de carbono na região Amazônica.
