Authors: Müller Marcus
Published: November 2024

Weghuber, Anna & Löhlein, Christian (2024). EduFunk. Podcast, kostenlos, verfügbar auf diversen Podcast-Plattformen. Nach einem prägnanten Einleitungszitat ist bei EduFunk ein kurzes Musikriff im Funk-Stil zu hören und los geht der Einblick in die Praxis der digitalgestützten Pädagogik. Ziel von EduFunk ist es, Lehrkräfte zu inspirieren und ihnen Mut zu machen, mit Neugier die Möglichkeiten digitaler Medien im Unterricht zu entdecken. Die beiden Lehrkräfte Anna Weghuber und Christian Löhlein sind bereits seit fünf Staffeln die Hosts des Podcasts. Anna Weghuber unterrichtet in Linz und gibt dort auch Seminare an der Pädagogischen Hochschule. Christian Löhlein unterrichtet am Internat Villa Wewersbusch – der ersten Apple Distinguished School in Deutschland. Gemeinsam interviewen sie Menschen, die digitale Medien praktisch und ambitioniert zu Lernzwecken einsetzen. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf digitalen Anwendungen und es geht manchmal sehr kleinteilig, aber dadurch sehr praxisnah darum, wie man beispielsweise Schriftarten am iPad geschickt installieren kann oder auch um bestimmte Apps wie Goodnotes, Numbers oder GarageBand. Zuweilen sind auch bekannte Gesichter aus der digitalen Bildungsszene zu Gast, wie etwa Mirko Drotschmann, der den YouTube-Kanal Mr. Wissen2Go gegründet hat oder der bekannte Mathematikdidaktiker Prof. Dr. Christian Spannagel. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch Folgen zur inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung von Unterricht, zum Beispiel in Form von Barcamps oder mit Hilfe der Methoden des Digital Storytellings. Insgesamt ist es in den jeweils circa 30-minütigen Folgen angenehm, dass das Moderator*innenteam seinen Gästen viel Raum bietet, ihre Methoden, Produkte und Sichtweisen darzustellen. Allerdings wären manchmal mehr kritische Distanz bzw. kritisches Nachfragen zu den vorgestellten Produkten wünschenswert. Kritik an und Distanz zu einem Produkt würden dieses nicht gleich in Frage stellen, sondern für ein tieferes Verstehen seiner Charakteristiken, Vor- Und Nachteile sorgen. Wenn man als Zuhörende*r diese kritische Distanz selbst herstellt, kann man viel Wissenswertes und auch Inspiration aus den Folgen ziehen.

AWARENESS LEVEL ABOUT NEWBORN HEARING SCREENING AMONG THE GENERAL POPULATION
Authors:   B. ASLP Student National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disabilities Chennai., Suguna S.G.
Published: November 2024

Hearing loss has become the most prevalent birth defect affecting one in 1000 newborn babies. The JCIH National Institute on deafness has told that newborn hearing screening within the hours of birth is the only way to eradicate it and paves way for early diagnosis intervention. Diagnosing congenital hearing loss at birth becomes a very crucial part of every newborn baby as the hearing loss has a deteriorating effect on the speech and language development as well and the academic performance of the individual. Even children with minimal sensorineural hearing loss and unilateral hearing loss have had challenges in educational performance and faced psychosocial difficulties. (Bess et al, 1998). Also, it was proved that when children were identified and intervened as early as 6 months of age, they had better developed language skills. (Mehl et al, 1998).

Forest ecosystems contain a great deal of biological diversity and act as carbon sinks. Protecting these environments could therefore reduce the effects of climate change and preserve biodiversity. With this in mind, the Abel community authorities have decided to preserve a forest area dedicated to biodiversity in their logging zone. To this end, a floristic study was initiated to determine the plant diversity of the Communitys forest area. The aim of the study was to enhance the value of the Communaute Abel forest area through its floristic resources. Specifically, the aim was to determine the qualitative and quantitative diversity of flora in the forest area of the Abel Community and to assess its ecological value. The surface survey and roving survey methods were used in the course of this work. The floristic inventory carried out enabled 62 plant species to be recorded, divided into 54 genera and 32 families. The most abundant botanical families are Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Arecaceae, Moraceae and Apocynaceae. Of all the plant species recorded, three are on the IUCN red list (2023). These are Garcinia afzelii, Milicia regia and Mitragyna ledermannii. These species are all in the vulnerable category. As for the use of the plants, 34 of them were identified as food, medicinal and various other uses.

Published: November 2024

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Doppler ultrasound of the uterine artery (UtA), umbilical artery (UA), and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) is a non-invasive tool for predicting these outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate Doppler ultrasound in predicting perinatal outcomes in PIH.

Methods: A longitudinal study of pregnant women with PIH (gestation >26 weeks) was conducted using color Doppler to assess UtA, UA, and MCA. Doppler indices (PI, RI, S/D ratio) were analyzed in relation to perinatal outcomes, particularly low Apgar scores.

Results: Umbilical artery PI showed the highest sensitivity (73.3%) for predicting low Apgar scores. The uterine artery RI had the highest sensitivity (96.7%) but low specificity. MCA SD ratio had high specificity (80%) and sensitivity (70%). Doppler indices of UtA, UA, and MCA were useful in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes, with MCA and umbilical artery abnormalities being highly specific.

Conclusion: Doppler ultrasound of UtA, UA, and MCA provides valuable prognostic information in PIH. MCA and umbilical artery abnormalities are particularly predictive of adverse outcomes, while uterine artery RI, though sensitive, lacks specificity.

Background / Introduction: The main aim of root canal treatment is to significantly eradicate the microorganisms, and achieve hermetic seal. Silver nanoparticles are shown to have positive effect on inhibiting the growth of various oral pathogenic bacteria. Hence present study is designed to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of different endodontic sealers incorporated with silver nanoparticles.

Aim: To assess and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of four different root canal sealers against E. faecalis.

Methodology: Four different commercially available root canal sealers were used in the present study. Aliquots of the suspension containing E. faecalis were spread on Mueller-Hinton agar medium. Freshly mixed sealers and silver nanoparticle incorporated sealers were placed into wells of petri dishes. All plates were incubated for 72 h at 37Ã‚Â°C under aerobic conditions, and zones of inhibition were measured at 24, 48, and 72 h.

Results: All the four commercial endodontic sealers when used alone and in combination with silver nanoparticles showed antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis. The antimicrobial activity of the sealers at the end of 72 hours is as follows: Zinc Oxide Eugenol >Endomethasone N > Nishika Canal Sealer BG > AH Plus. When the sealers were incorporated with silver nanoparticles, antimicrobial efficacy of AH Plus and Endomethasone N was enhanced.

Conclusion: Incorporation of silver nanoparticles had positive effect on antimicrobial efficacy of sealers, especially AH Plus and Endomethasone N, although the effectiveness of all the root canal sealers against E. faecalis decreased with time.
Potencial fisiológico de sementes de physalis angulata l. em função de fatores ecofisiológicos, promotores químicos e maturidade fisiológica
Authors:   , Santiago Willen Ramos
Published: November 2024

A Physalis angulata L., apesar de ser uma espécie com potencialidades para o cultivo comercial, ainda é uma planta essencialmente silvestre, em início de domesticação, havendo carência de informações acerca de seus aspectos fisiológicos e ecofisiológicos, inclusive referentes à germinação de suas sementes. Objetivou-se avaliar o potencial fisiológico de sementes de P. angulata L. em função de fatores ecofisiológicos, promotores químicos e maturação fisiológica. Foram realizados três ensaios experimentais. No primeiro ensaio, testou-se valores de temperaturas (25, 30, 35 ºC), fotoperíodos (0, 8, 12 e 16 horas) e tipos de luz (ausência de luz, luz branca, luz na frequência do vermelho e na frequência do vermelho-distante). No segundo ensaio, testou-se tipos e concentrações de promotores químicos: ácido giberélico - GA3 (0,00; 0,02; 0,04; 0,06 e 0,08%), nitrato de potássio - KNO3 (0,0; 0,2; 0,4; 0,6; 0,8 e 1,0%), e Stimulate® (0,0; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75; 1,00; 1,25; 1,50%). No terceiro ensaio, frutos e sementes de P. angulata L. foram avaliados em função da maturação fisiológica, de acordo com o número de dias após a antese - DAA (7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 dias). Em todos os ensaios foram realizados testes de germinação e vigor de sementes, em delineamento inteiramente casualisado. Em geral, quantificou-se a germinação, a primeira contagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, emergência de plântulas em areia e comprimento e massa seca de plântulas. No terceiro estudo quantificou-se também o diâmetro e massa de frutos, teor de água das sementes, massa seca de 100 sementes, peso de mil sementes e condutividade elétrica. As sementes de P. angulata L. expressaram o maior potencial fisiológico sob a temperatura de 35 ºC e ausência de luz, sendo negativamente afetadas em função do tempo de exposição à luz durante a germinação. Os três promotores químicos foram efetivos em promover aumentos no vigor das sementes, sendo as concentrações de 0,06% de GA3, 0,4 a 0,6% de KNO3 e 1,0% de Stimulate as mais eficazes. Quanto à maturação, as sementes de P. angulata L. se tornaram fisiologicamente viáveis a partir de 21 DAA, ocorrendo maior potencial fisiológico aos 35 DAA. Todavia, visando evitar demasiada queda de frutos em função da senescência, recomenda-se realizar a colheita entorno dos 28 DAA

Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho foi conduzido de agosto a novembro de 2014 na Fazenda Experimental "Rafael Fernandes" da Universidade Federal do Semi-Árido Rural (UFERSA), com o objetivo de avaliar a viabilidade do cultivo consorciado de beterraba e caupi-hortaliça sob adubação com biomassa de flor-de-seda e arranjos espaciais das culturas componentes. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições e os tratamentos arranjados em esquema fatorial 4 x 3, resultantes da combinação de quatro quantidades de biomassa de flor-de-seda incorporadas ao solo (20, 35, 50 e 65 t ha-1 em base seca) e três arranjos espaciais entre as culturas componentes (2:2, 3:3 e 4:4). As características agronômicas avaliadas na beterraba foram: produtividade total, comercial e classificada de raízes (em extra, extra A, extra AA, grandes e sucatas). No caupi-hortaliça foram avaliados, número de vagens verdes por área, rendimento e peso seco de vagens verdes, número de grãos verdes por vagem, peso de 100 grãos verdes e rendimento de grãos verdes e secos. A eficiência agronômica e econômica dos sistemas de consórcio estudados foi avaliada através dos índices de uso eficiente da terra e de eficiência produtiva, da pontuação da variável canônica, dos retornos bruto e líquido, da taxa de retorno e do indice de lucratividade. Não houve interação significativa entre as quantidades de biomassa de flor-de-seda incorporadas ao solo e os arranjos espaciais para qualquer característica avaliada na beterraba, caupi-hortaliça e nos índices agro-econômicos. A maior eficiência agronômica foi obtida na quantidade de 65 t ha-1 de biomassa de flor-de-seda, enquanto a maior eficiência econômica foi obtida na quantidade de 28 t ha-1 desse adubo. Em termos absolutos, o arranjo espacial 2: 2 proporcionou a maior eficiência agro-econômica dos sistemas consorciados

Published: November 2024

Apesar de medidas para diminuir a prevalência de ataques a minorias sexuais e de gênero nas plataformas digitais, anúncios discriminatórios e odiosos têm sido patrocinados por políticos durante campanhas eleitorais ao redor do mundo. Este artigo analisa as estratégias discursivas e de segmentação de anúncios sobre a população LGBTQIAP+ nas plataformas da Meta durante a campanha eleitoral de 2022 para entender como os direitos dessa população foram instrumentalizados em um cenário político polarizado. Os pesquisadores coletaram 3.703 anúncios contrários e a favor dos direitos da comunidade LGBTQIAP+ veiculados no Brasil durante o primeiro turno e sistematizaram os dados de segmentação e investimento, além de analisarem o conteúdo veiculado pelos principais anunciantes. Anúncios anti-LGBTQIAP+ foram predominantes na campanha, recebendo mais investimento e alcançando um público maior que os conteúdos pró-LGBTQIAP+. Os resultados indicam que as medidas de governança promovidas pela Meta podem não ser suficientes para impedir a circulação de anúncios discriminatórios e odiosos.

This study examines differences in self-perception between children with alexithymia and their typically developing peers (TDP). It explores specific aspects of self-perception and compares self-perception profiles while considering gender and education. A total of 122 children from kindergartens and schools participated in the study, including 81 typically developing children and 41 with alexithymia. The study used the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Berkeley Puppet Interview (BPI) as assessment tools. The findings showed that alexithymia had a greater impact on self-perception than demographic factors like gender or education. Children with alexithymia had significantly lower self-perception in areas such as academic competence, motivation, social skills, and peer acceptance compared to their typically developing peers. The study highlights how alexithymia affects children's self-perception and calls for targeted interventions to support their well-being and social integration. It also suggests the need for further research into how educational environments influence children's self-perception.
Eco-Evolutionary Drivers of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Sequence Type 3 Expansion: Retrospective Machine Learning Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Campbell Amy Marie , Hauton Chris , van Aerle Ronny , Martinez-Urtaza Jaime
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Environmentally sensitive pathogens exhibit ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change that result in the emergence and global expansion of well-adapted variants. It is imperative to understand the mechanisms that facilitate pathogen emergence and expansion, as well as the drivers behind the mechanisms, to understand and prepare for future pandemic expansions.

OBJECTIVE

The unique, rapid, global expansion of a clonal complex of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (a marine bacterium causing gastroenteritis infections) named Vibrio parahaemolyticus sequence type 3 (VpST3) provides an opportunity to explore the eco-evolutionary drivers of pathogen expansion.

METHODS

The global expansion of VpST3 was reconstructed using VpST3 genomes, which were then classified into metrics characterizing the stages of this expansion process, indicative of the stages of emergence and establishment. We used machine learning, specifically a random forest classifier, to test a range of ecological and evolutionary drivers for their potential in predicting VpST3 expansion dynamics.

RESULTS

We identified a range of evolutionary features, including mutations in the core genome and accessory gene presence, associated with expansion dynamics. A range of random forest classifier approaches were tested to predict expansion classification metrics for each genome. The highest predictive accuracies (ranging from 0.722 to 0.967) were achieved for models using a combined eco-evolutionary approach. While population structure and the difference between introduced and established isolates could be predicted to a high accuracy, our model reported multiple false positives when predicting the success of an introduced isolate, suggesting potential limiting factors not represented in our eco-evolutionary features. Regional models produced for 2 countries reporting the most VpST3 genomes had varying success, reflecting the impacts of class imbalance.

CONCLUSIONS

These novel insights into evolutionary features and ecological conditions related to the stages of VpST3 expansion showcase the potential of machine learning models using genomic data and will contribute to the future understanding of the eco-evolutionary pathways of climate-sensitive pathogens.

Study of Immune Evasion Mechanisms of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
Authors: Tianhao Zhu
Published: November 2024

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health challenge due to its complex immune evasion mechanisms and limitations of current treatments. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of HBV immune evasion strategies, including viral mutations, immunosuppressive environments, and T-cell dysfunction. It highlights recent advancements in research, such as novel therapeutic approaches like gene editing and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and discusses their potential benefits and limitations. Despite the effectiveness of existing vaccines in preventing new infections, their impact on chronic infections is limited, and new therapeutic vaccines face significant hurdles. The translation of laboratory findings into clinical applications presents additional challenges related to safety, efficacy, and patient variability. The increasing global prevalence of HBV further complicates research and treatment, exacerbated by regional differences in epidemic characteristics and resource limitations. Future research should focus on deeper exploration of HBV immune evasion mechanisms and the development of improved treatment strategies and vaccines to achieve more effective HBV management and control. This paper aims to provide a detailed analysis of these aspects, offering insights into current progress and future directions in the fight against chronic HBV infection.

Clinical effect of Secuchiumab in the Treatment of Psoriasis
Authors: Le Liu , Fangmin SiTu
Published: November 2024

Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent skin condition triggered by the immune system, with a relatively high prevalence. The primary clinical manifestation of this condition is the appearance of red and swollen patches of skin covered with silvery scales, often accompanied by itching and a feeling of tightness. In addition to skin symptoms, psoriasis patients frequently experience systemic conditions such as arthritis and heart disease. Recent research has shown a strong link between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome. The main symptoms of metabolic syndrome include hypertension, high blood sugar, elevated cholesterol levels, and abdominal obesity. These issues not only increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases but may also exacerbate the severity of psoriasis. Traditional treatments for psoriasis have included topical medications, phototherapy, and symptomatic relief therapies, with methotrexate being a common drug. While these conventional methods can partially improve the skin condition of psoriasis patients with metabolic syndrome, they are not effective at modulating immune system function or correcting metabolic imbalances. As our understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis deepens, biologic therapies have increasingly become a research focus. Secukinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-23, inhibits specific inflammatory pathways and offers a new, potentially more effective treatment option for psoriasis patients with metabolic syndrome.
The Modernist Novel: An Overview
Authors: Mathur Kokila S.
Published: November 2024

The word ‘Modern’ derives from the Latin ‘modo’ meaning ‘current’ ‘new’ ‘contemporary’. With its emphasis on the new, the movement of Modernism encompasses radical ideas and emergent intellectual and pathbreaking ideas of Henri Bergson, Darwin, Freud, Marx, Nietzsche and Einstein from the end of the Nineteenth century until the Second World War. In keeping with the exhortation of its literary guru, Ezra Pound, to ‘make it new’, it set about to establish ‘the tradition of the new’, as articulated by the Art critic, Harold Rosenburg, producing art works which went against the grain of established traditions and conventions. The beginning of the Twentieth century was witness to a diverse variety of aesthetic representation in response to the machine age, to transformational technologies, rapid urbanization, migration to cities, to a world where traditional certainties had departed and the belief in the notion of history and civilization as inherently progressive was shaken to the core. ‘Modernity’ was described by Baudelaire in The Painter of Modern Life (1863) as the fashionable, transient, fleeting and contingent and as opposed to the eternal and the immutable. Literary Modernism is a literature of change and crisis, yet with an insistence on the power of Art to give shape to a world which has lost all stability and order. Yet from this nightmare of history, as depicted by Walter Benjamin, and a sense of fracture and dislocation, from the debris of the traditional world, rises the Eiffel Tower as a symbol of aspiration, a marvellous alloy of modern technology of metallurgy and human creativity.
O “novo” marco legal e a universalização do saneamento básico no espaço rural
Authors: Marcon Adriano Marcos , Wesz Junior Valdemar João
Published: November 2024

O saneamento básico é um componente de suma importância para o desenvolvimento e para a garantia de inúmeros direitos fundamentais correlatos, direitos que são negados diante das significativas deficiências dos serviços atualmente verificadas. Analisando o novo modelo institucional estabelecido pela Lei n. 14.026/2020, problematizamos sua capacidade em promover a efetiva universalização do saneamento básico no meio rural, dentro da meta temporal legalmente estabelecida. Empreendeu-se um estudo descritivo e explicativo, de abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, apoiada em bibliografia especializada e documentos oficiais, cujos dados foram interpretados a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Dadas as diversas ruralidades existentes, o déficit dos serviços e as características do saneamento básico no meio rural, concluímos que as alterações legislativas promovidas, na forma como foram elaboradas e propostas, não serão capazes, por si só, de concretizar a pretendida universalização da cobertura.

O presente artigo tem como intencionalidade problematizar os processos de formação continuada na perspectiva da inclusão com professores que emergem entre os contextos da aprendizagem inventiva e da avaliação da aprendizagem no município de Viana - ES. Buscamos tecer considerações por meio de um mapeamento do documento “Novo Referencial Curricular de Viana – ES”, no ano de 2022 a 2023. Apresenta possibilidades de se fazerpensar (ALVES, 2021) a formação continuada, com os gestores, professores, estagiários, assistentes e técnicos pedagógicos do município considerando o conceito de formação inventiva de Dias (2011). Metodologicamente, apoia-se na Cartografia de pesquisa, com Deleuze; Guattari (1996) e Kastrup (2009), optando pelo acompanhamento dos processos de subjetivação e pela tessitura de mapas formativos existenciais. Investe na elaboração de um mapeamento dos conceitos de “avaliação”, "invenção", “signos” e a “subjetividade” no documento “Novo Referencial Curricular de Viana - ES”, em artigos acadêmicos e textos de Deleuze; Guattari (1995, 1996, 1998) e Kastrup (2017) para potencializar o debate acerca da aprendizagem inventiva, a avaliação e da formação continuada. Como resultados destaca a formação docente como rizoma, processo contínuo de invenção e criação, onde a arte e a experimentação desestabilizam saberes fixos. A educação se torna um campo de co-construções, onde as diferenças são potenciais transformadoras e o devir docente é uma prática de resistência à padronização. A potência do ensino se revela no movimento incessante de questionamento e reinvenção, buscando novas práticas e saberes. A formação inventiva sustenta a educação inclusiva, criativa e transformadora.

This research paper investigates the factors that influence betting against beta anomalies, including interest rate (IR), investor sentiments (IS), USA stock trading volume (USV), momentum (MOM), high minus low (HML), small minus big (SMB), and market return in excess of T-bills (MKT). Monthly data is used in the current study for the period of 1987 to 2014 for US firms and data is analyze with the help of OLS regression. We find that HML, IS, and MOM have a significant positive impact on the BAB anomaly, while IR, MKT, and USV have a significant but negative impact. Prior research has not concurrently explored these factors, rendering our study distinct in its comprehensive analysis. The results of this study can be used by a variety of people to make more informed investment decisions and to improve the efficiency of the financial markets.

A indústria de cosméticos tradicionalmente polui o meio ambiente em decorrência do desenvolvimento de produtos que utilizam substâncias químicas, petroquímicas e microplásticos, materiais que chegam em rios, lagos e oceanos após a utilização por consumidores, além de gerar uma quantidade considerável de resíduos a partir de embalagens. A pressão do mercado tem impulsionado a adoção de medidas sustentáveis pelas indústrias de cosméticos, enfatizando a importância da conscientização e a mudança nos hábitos tradicionais de produção e de consumo. Nesta perspectiva, o presente estudo propõe um modelo conceitual de pesquisa original para analisar a difusão e a adoção de cosméticos ecoinovadores por consumidores, a partir da formulação de sete hipóteses de pesquisa. O estudo foi principalmente orientado pela teoria da difusão de inovações e pela teoria do comportamento planejado e desenvolvido a partir de uma bibliometria. No modelo foram propostos os constructos comportamento pró-ambiental e contexto socioeconômico como mediadores da relação entre a difusão e a adoção de ecoinovações de cosméticos. Este estudo pretende contribuir para a fronteira teórica nos campos da ecoinovação de cosméticos e do comportamento sustentável do consumidor, bem como para medidas sustentáveis de difusão e adoção de cosméticos ecoinovadores pela indústria.
(Re)significação do amor e da felicidade

Published: November 2024

Por meio de leituras das obras de Simmel, de Eva Illouz e das pesquisas de Jardim e Moura, que vão além do que já existe, reescrevendo principalmente os clássicos citados como continuísmo de uma nova sociedade econômica dos dias de hoje, Jardim reescreve e interpreta de forma estrutural a definição de vivência social  do amor com aspectos da vivência que trouxe as novas tecnologias de relacionamento, como redes sociais, dentre as quais destacam-se o Facebook e Tinder, dando continuidade ao que já existe e ampliando horizontes em uma sociedade que não é mais vista por Bourdieu, mas na qual existem ideias inovadoras em voga, como as relações entre gêneros, a relação do amor no mercado de matrimônio, de forma original, as escolhas de parceiros, os escolhidos e os rejeitados. Vivencia-se e nos chama a nos debruçar sobre a mudança social, que não é estática aos estudos clássicos. Corroboro com os avanços trazidos em uma abordagem de Toni Junior sobre Felicidade Humana, de forma subjetiva, qualitativa e quantitativa, sobre o que traz infelicidade nos sentimentos de vivência e pertencimento no mundo atual, dialogando com os estudos de Jardim e tendo como pressupostos os clássicos citados.

Published: November 2024

O estudo visou apresentar os conceitos gerais da Economia Circular e sua aplicação em contextos urbanos, denominada Cidade Circular. Foi utilizada revisão bibliográfica, por meio da base Google Scholar e demais fontes governamentais, acadêmicas e de notícias, aliada à técnica de snowball, para a busca e seleção de artigos e fontes de informação. O presente artigo constitui-se de uma revisão teórica das temáticas de Economia Circular e Cidades Circulares, explorando suas características, formas de implementação, stakeholders, benefícios, desafios e indicadores afins. Em seguida, como estudo de caso, utilizam-se como exemplos de análise as capitais Amsterdã e Paris, as quais fornecem subsídios no contexto de implementação das teorias de cidades circulares, estando na vanguarda da temática, mesmo que as metas propostas nos planejamentos estratégicos iniciais não se encontrem totalmente satisfeitas. Conclui-se que as Cidades Circulares são plataformas interessantes para concretizar ideais ecológicos no contexto urbano, envolvendo as partes interessadas. Entretanto, desafios relacionados a políticas públicas, tecnologia, governança e produção se fazem presentes.
