Sociabilidade em conjuntos habitacionais do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida
Authors: LIMA ANDREIA FERREIRA , PEREIRA ANETE MARILIA
Published: February 2023

O programa habitacional Minha Casa, Minha Vida tem alcançado significativa parcela da população de baixa renda, contribuindo para que milhões de pessoas conquistem o sonho da casa própria. Entretanto, a ação do capital engendrada ao longo da execução do programa faz com que importantes prerrogativas das políticas habitacionais não sejam cumpridas, desencadeando assim uma série de problemas que afetam a sociabilidade nesses espaços. Partindo dessa premissa, esse artigo tem por objetivo principal analisar as relações de convivência e a construção de vínculos no Conjunto Habitacional Nova Suíça, na cidade de Montes Claros (MG). Para tanto, procedeu-se à investigação bibliográfica sobre o tema e um estudo empírico no Conjunto Habitacional Nova Suíça, por meio da realização de entrevistas com moradores. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que o deslocamento de pessoas de baixa renda para um conjunto habitacional distante dos bairros onde elas moravam além de contribuir para a produção de uma cidade periférica, provoca uma ruptura nos vínculos sociais sedimentados no antigo endereço, bem como dificuldades para a formação de novos vínculos no novo local decorrentes, principalmente, da ausência de espaços com equipamentos públicos e infraestrutura.

Authors: Silva Thiago Cavalcante Lins , Santos Júnior José Ferreira  dos , Ferreira Bruno
Published: February 2023

A geodiversidade busca descrever através de metodologias de identificação e quantificação os elementos abióticos presentes na paisagem e como se dá a interação destes elementos com o meio biótico e a sociedade através das apropriações existentes. O objetivo do trabalho foi calcular o índice de geodiversidade do CELMM. A metodologia utilizada foi dividida em 5 etapas: definições espaciais, levantamento bibliográfico e cartográfico, processamento de dados, definição dos índices e interpolação/classificação dos resultados. Foram utilizadas as variáveis de geologia, geomorfologia, hidrografia, pedologia e mineral para o cálculo dos índices parciais, utilizadas posteriormente para o cálculo do índice de geodiversidade, sendo divididas em 5 classes. Como resultado, seus valores foram mais heterogêneos, concentrados em áreas específicas. O índice de geodiversidade se mostrou mais alto em áreas amplas de várzeas bordeadas por encostas íngremes fortemente dissecadas. Valores esses justificados por processos morfodinâmico e pedológico, exumando e modelando a litologia local. Já nas demais quadrículas, sendo mais homogêneos com pouca dinâmica, apresentaram valores mais baixos. No geral, o CELMM apresentou geodiversidade média, com valores mais altos e altos concentrados em APA, ocorrendo também em outras áreas não protegidas. A metodologia se mostrou promissora, alcançando o objetivo geral. Através de técnicas de geoprocessamento e base de dados existentes dos elementos da geodiversidade, foi possível criar mapas temáticos de IG do CELMM. Este estudo visa subsidiar o Poder Público para criar ou rediscutir zoneamentos e planos gestores. Este estudo representa a continuação das discussões sobre geodiversidade de Alagoas em sua porção Centro-Leste.
A introdução de espécies vegetais no vale do Itajaí-Açu (Santa Catarina) no século XIX
Authors: Santos Gilberto Friedenreich , Garrote Martin Stabel
Published: February 2023

O Vale do Itajaí até meados do século XIX, e talvez início do século XX, apresentava um caráter natural selvagem que fascinava os colonos imigrantes e viajantes europeus. O vale divide-se em duas sub-bacias hidrográficas: Itajaí-açu (13.327 km2) e Itajaí-mirim (1.673 km2). A confluência de ambos os cursos de água ocorre a 8 km da foz do mar, que recebe neste trecho a denominação de Rio Itajaí. Será objeto de estudo o Vale do Itajaí-açu (recorte espacial) cujo processo de colonização europeia intensifica-se com a fundação da Colônia Blumenau no ano de 1850. Os viajantes em suas passagens pelo Brasil, e particularmente no Vale do Itajaí, registraram as observações e investigações aqui realizadas hoje disponíveis em publicações em forma de livros, relatórios e artigos em periódicos. O objetivo foi identificar na literatura sobre os viajantes a introdução e uso de espécies vegetais no Vale do Itajaí-açu no século XIX. A produção bibliográfica sobre os relatos dos viajantes no Vale do Itajaí são inexpressivas, mas é uma das mais importantes fontes de informações históricas para os estudos da Geografia e História Ambiental, pois registram no passado o uso do solo com espécies vegetais introduzidas pela colonização.
The Effects of Middle School Students' Academic Enthusiasm and Lethargy on Academic Achievement and Private Education Expenses
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Kwak Sooran , Lee Kyungho
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of middle school students' academic enthusiasm and academic lethargy on private education expenses and academic achievement. To this end, the potential growth model of middle school 1st to 3rd grade is analyzed using 2018 child and youth panel data provided by the Korea Youth Policy Institute, assuming that academic enthusiasm and academic lethargy could be formed to a certain point and changed according to students' environment and conditions rather than staying consistent.
As a result of the analysis of this paper, if academic enthusiasm is high, academic achievement is high, and if academic enthusiasm is low, then achievement is low. On the other hand, if academic lethargy is high, academic achievement is low, and if it is low, then achievement is high. The effect of academic enthusiasm and academic lethargy on private education expenditure is not statistically significant. It is judged that the amount of private education expenditure is not a factor that actively changes children's academic enthusiasm or academic lethargy.
Classifying the Competency of Elementary School Students and Exploring Affecting Factors: Focusing on Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Na Wooyoul , An Youngeun , Kwon Yeonha
Published: February 2023

This study examined the latent structure of cognitive and social-emotional competencies of elementary school students and explored the effects of student-level and school-level factors by latent structure. For this purpose, 113 schools and 3,710 elementary school students’ data from the first-year elementary school panel (ES&B) of the Seoul Educational Longitudinal Study of Students (SELSS) 2020 were used and descriptive statistics and multilevel latent profile model analysis were conducted. The main analysis results are as follows. First, as a result of the analysis, four latent classes (all competencies below the average/emotional competency below the average/cognitive and social competencies below the average/all competencies above the average) were classified according to the cognitive and social-emotional competencies of elementary school students. It was confirmed that the “all competencies above the average” class showed a higher rate than other classes, but on the other hand, the proportion of the “all competencies below the average” class was not low. Second, school variables that influence the latent profiles included student atmosphere and the ratio of professional counselors, and it was confirmed that both variables could have a positive effect. Third, the student-level factors such as: gender (female students), friendship, class attitude, and socioeconomic status (SES) had a significant effect on the probability of belonging to the positive class. Based on the above results, possible directions of policy support were suggested.
An Analysis of Perceptions on Multiculturalism Among Elementary, Middle and High School Teachers in Chungcheongnam-do
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Park Bong Ill
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teachers' perception of multiculturalism from an integrated point of view to examine the problems and to consider directions for improvement. To this end, a quantitative study was conducted on elementary, middle and high school and faculty members of educational administrative agencies belonging to the Chungcheongnam-do Office of Education, and a total of 669 people responded, and a qualitative study was conducted on multicultural affairs managers of the Office of Education. As a result of the analysis, first, multicultural awareness improvement education is needed to change the double multicultural attitude. Although they have the mind of equality for multicultural people and respect for other cultures, they showed the duality of answering that they have demeaning, prejudice, stereotypes, and exclusionary tendencies. Second, there is a need for a multicultural education program tailored to the Korean situation, and the reasons are limited support for Korean adaptation education, emphasis on education for harmonious relationships with multicultural families, experience-oriented, self-culture-oriented operation, and lack of multicultural education for students. Third, the role of the government and local governments needs to prepare laws. Third, the role of the government and local governments needs to be improved. In order for our society to achieve a multicultural and integrated society, the government should make laws, secure finances, and establishes a basic plan, while the local government prepares an implementation plan and supports it so that each center can operate it. Fourth, government-level support is needed for public relations related to multiculturalism. For effective and practical multicultural understanding education, it is necessary to create conditions and support from the government not only in the classroom, but also for publicity that helps people understand multiculturalism and support it.
Telenovelas and Attitudes toward the LGBTIQ Community in Latin America
Authors: Gulesci Selim , Lombardi María , Ramos Alejandra
Published: February 2023

How does exposure to soap operas with LGBTIQ characters affect attitudes toward the LGBTIQ community? To answer this question, we construct a novel database of 175 telenovelas (soap operas) with LGBTIQ characters airing in 14 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2002 and 2019. Exploiting variation in the introduction of new soap operas with LGBTIQ characters within country and survey-waves, we find that individuals exposed to more soap operas with LGBTIQ characters are less tolerant toward the LGBTIQ community. This short-term backlash is driven by exposure to telenovelas with homosexual characters and shows with comedic storylines. The effect is stronger among traditionally more conservative individuals (e.g., older or frequently attending religious services).

AIM: To evaluate the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on retinal neurodegeneration by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
METHODS: Patients diagnosed as MetS were compared with the age and sex-matched healthy control group (CG). Waist circumference measurements, fasting serological biochemical tests, and systemic blood pressures of all participants were evaluated. The MetS group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the number of MetS components: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia (low-, high-density lipoprotein, hypertriglyceridemia), and visceral obesity findings; 3-component MetS3, 4-component MetS4, and all-component MetS5. All patients underwent complete eye examination and spectral OCT retinal imaging.
RESULTS: Totally 58 eyes of 58 patients were included in the MetS group and 63 eyes of 63 age and sex-matched healthy subjects were included in CG. MetS group was composed of 22 subjects in MetS3, 21 subjects in MetS4, and 15 subjects in the MetS5 subgroup. Mean foveal thickness (MetS, 218.7±23.1 µm vs CG, 228.8±21.9 µm, P=0.015), mean inferior (MetS, 283.4±17.0 µm vs CG, 288.7±38.4 µm, P=0.002), superior (MetS, 287.0±18.5 µm vs CG 297.3±17.1 µm, P=0.001), nasal (MetS 287.3±16.7 µm vs CG 297.9±13.9 µm, P=0.000) and temporal (274.5±17.6 µm vs CG 285.6±13.6 µm, P=0.000) thickness in the 3 mm Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) circle was significantly lower in the MetS group. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean inferior, superior, nasal, and temporal thickness of 6 mm ETDRS circle, total macular volume, peripapillary and macular retinal nerve fiber layer, macular ganglion cell layer with inner plexiform layer, and ganglion cell complex. No statistically significant difference was found in these values ??between the MetS3, MetS4, and the MetS5 groups.
CONCLUSION: A significant reduction in central macular region thickness in MetS is detected and macular thickness is more susceptible to MetS induced neurodegeneration than peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer.

The Growth of Global Risks After the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Kypriotelis Efstratios , Kolias Georgios , Pappa Paraskevi
Published: February 2023

The 2006 Global Risks Report sounded the alarm on pandemics and health-related risks. Unsurprisingly, the global pandemic became a reality, and the immediate human and economic costs were affected. The efficiency of managing risks is accompanied by high levels of uncertainty, and the planning is unable to ensure accountability and yield reliable projections. This work aims to examine the complex system of risks and their interconnectivity with COVID-19 pandemic. Each risk itself may be considered a complex system that upon interaction with the global system of risks might be unstoppable and trigger a sequence of catastrophic events. This calls for a systematic examination of risks in a complex system to project the probability of risks becoming events, initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Risks have proliferated in recent years and the pandemic is an ascending factor. This paper analyzes the risks indicated by World Economic Forum, The Global Risk Reports from 2006 to 2022. We form our model by defining the risks associated with COVID-19 pandemic. The association between risks accelerating the probability of risk occurring, and increasing its impact. The most important elements are the virtually unheard factors produced in a fast-changing environment, which changes so fast because the system of factors is not a national or regional one, but the world functions uniformly. Informative and predictive functions under this reality does not provide information for the future, and the more important qualification of this information is uncertain unless the information from the past and the present has all the qualitative historical data, and the proportionate analysis is used. Dealing with risk under the development of a model would result in exclusion of certain factors or variants from this model, which could become a restricted perception and subject of imposing certain influential theories which demolished in conflict with reality. Risk events demonstrate the success and failure of risk management, which consistently point to poor planning as a major cause of risk management failure. This may be not the only reason for poor planning under conditions of high uncertainty. Furthermore, business is unaware of risk governance and lacks an understanding of risk situations, promoting individualism when governance necessitates broader participation. This lack of understanding or refusal of collective contribution is a societal malfunction and an avoidance of corporations’ respective responsibilities in social welfare.

The Greek flora is rich in native herbaceous plants and due to the Mediterranean climate, there are optimal climatic and soil conditions for their cultivation. Herbs play a very important role in the Greek rural economy and facilitate change in the national agro-food sector as it is still developing. In recent years, this sector has become an area of interest. Many farmers changed their old crops into new cultivations like herbs. This development requires investments, training programs, new studies, and projects in order to enrich the knowledge and skills of all the participants involved in the value chain. HEGO is a Black Sea Project, funded by the European Union, and one of its main goals is the modernization of enterprises associated with the cultivation, production, and promotion of diversified, sustainable, value-added herb products, as well as the enhancement of cross-border trade opportunities for local herb enterprises in participating Black Sea Basin countries (Greece, Moldova, Georgia, and Armenia). This paper explores the current situation of the herb sector in Greece regarding the cultivation, processing legislation, managerial issues, and the trade value of herb products. More specifically, its purpose is to investigate the current skills and expertise in herbs of the participants in Greece. Additionally, this paper explores the future training needs in relation to the above mention topics. Descriptive statistics, SWOT, and PEST analysis were performed. The main results of this research revealed the lack of knowledge of wildcrafting practices and trading. The importance of further training was highlighted, especially in marketing and trading skills. These findings can be used to develop training curricula and courses in order to cope with potential threats in the herb sector in Greece.

Business Opportunity Ontology
Authors: Stylianos Spyropoulos Theocharis , Varsakelis Dr. Nikolaos
Published: February 2023

Ontologies are used to describe and share information, by describing a concept and defining related entities and their relations, attributes, and properties. More specifically they can be used to describe and share knowledge, using a language that computers can understand and share, and; therefore, form the pillar of the Semantic Web. The study examines the concept of business opportunity ontology from an entrepreneurial point of view. The study also examines the methodologies and best practices used in ontology development, and the use of the Protégé tool for the actual development of Ontology. Several standards were set in order for Ontology to be further used in future entrepreneurial research. These standards include a) the concept of business opportunity was developed based upon related academic theory (using the entrepreneurship, management, and business administration domains), b) as a consequence, only entities, relations, and properties that had been included in the academic literature were included in the ontology, c) the methodology had to be clearly defined since there was not a single methodological approach for ontology development, and d) the appropriate tool was selected.

Published: February 2023

Human civilization has been transformed dramatically due to the increase of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The new digital era, and more particularly the digitization of information has contributed to many changes in all areas of life. More specifically the social relations among people developed new social and cultural structures. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic forced humanity to adopt digital technologies in most aspects of economic and social life. Internet, telework, remote work, and distance learning are now part of everyday life in society, and users of online social networks have increased dramatically in comparison with those of recent decades around the world. On the other hand, the situation that human experience due to the pandemic produced by COVID-19 disease may have increased the negative effects of excessive use of social networks. This study aims to explore the attitudes of Greek citizens toward the use of the Internet and social media before and during the pandemic. A primary survey on random 525 Greek citizens was conducted from September–November 2021. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to identify the main attitudes of Greek citizens toward the use of social media during COVID-19 era. Therefore, two main attitudes were derived from PCA: (a) use of social media to be informed, and (b) use of social media for entertainment. Cluster analysis was performed to classify those citizens into groups according to their attitudes toward the use of social networks during COVID-19 period. It identified three groups of citizens: (a) those who are indifferent to the use of social networks (b) those who use social networks mainly to be informed, and (c) those who use social networks only for entertainment. Following that, a Friedman nonparametric test was performed to determine the primary reasons why Greek citizens use the Internet and social networks prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonparametric tests, including the Chi-square and Friedman nonparametric tests were performed to develop the profile of each of the identified groups of citizens toward the main reasons they use the Internet and social networks, for what purposes, and their demographic characteristics.

Cash in the Trash? An Austrian Perspective on Mobile Payment Adoption
Authors: Dilger Thomas , Bernardi Sarah , Ploder Christian , Spieß Teresa , Bernsteiner Reinhard
Published: February 2023

Despite offering many benefits to consumers, merchants, banks, and other providers, mobile payment still has not found widespread acceptance in Austria, for example, in 2015, 15% of Austrian consumers used the Internet or a mobile device for payments and 16% made contactless payments at least once a week. This study sheds light on this issue by taking a consumer perspective and investigating the factors that foster or hinder mobile payment adoption. Three popular user acceptance models were compared and in the end, a unified theory of acceptance and use of technologybased model (UTAUT2) was chosen. The developed model was composed of 12 factors (behavioral intention, utilitarian performance expectancy, hedonic performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived risk, perceived security, privacy concerns, trust, cost, personal innovativeness) and three moderators (age, gender, experience). The proposed model was tested using data from 158 Austrian consumers and analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that 68% of consumers’ intention to use mobile payments could be explained, making it a promising model in the mobile payment research area based on the baseline data. Perceived risk and hedonic performance expectancy are the greatest drivers with psychological risk (a lack of fit with one’s self-image) as the most important risk dimension. The results suggest that mobile payment possesses lifestyle characteristics and its usage needs to be fun in order for consumers to prefer it to cash and cards.

Assessment of Women's Knowledge of the Impact of Smoking During Pregnancy
Authors: Poloska Albana , Gjonej Risida
Published: February 2023

Smoking affects women’s health and increases their risk for some diseases. Women who smoke have problems with the reproductive system, and if women are pregnant have a high risk for fetal, and neonatal problems and consequences on their health. Quitting smoking at any time during pregnancy improves the condition of mother and baby. This study aims to identify the level of knowledge women have about smoking and effects on pregnancy aged between 1545 years. This study is cross-sectional and was implemented for the period of August-November 2021 was conducted at UHOG “Queen Geraldine” Tirana, Albania. The survey included 200 pregnant women, who agreed to complete the questionnaire. Data were coded and elaborated using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software. Descriptive results on each question, comparison between important topics, and binary logistic regression for the five final questions were performed. Nevertheless, 30% of the total women in the study were smokers, 16% of them were pregnant smokers, and 14% were smokers before pregnancy. The women who continued to smoke were from urban areas, we do not have heavy smokers, and only 2.9% of them smoked >10 cigarettes a day. Women with secondary education report that the chance of ectopic pregnancy from smoking increases OR = 0.73. As the weeks of pregnancy pass, the likelihood of discovering that smoking increases the risk of having a baby with birth defects (OR = 0.78) increases. There were women in the first pregnancy and younger age groups that represented the highest level of knowledge related to the birth of an underweight baby because of smoking p = 0.003. In 31.6% of cases, the cessation of smoking had come because of the nursing counseling that they had received in the primary service. The trend of smoking among Albanian women is growing and information on the consequences of smoking is a necessity for a healthy population in the future. Women who smoke need assistance and counseling to quit smoking before becoming pregnant. The role of health care professionals in informing women about the risks of smoking to the baby and the mother should be expanded.

A Management Procedure to take Advantage of Minorities
Authors: Stylianos Artsidakis , Petropoulos Theophanous , Konstantinos Liapis
Published: February 2023

A group of companies is often formed and controlled by a single entity, namely the holding or parent company. The holding company has administrative control over the entire group, directing all investment and management decisions. The control can be either direct, meaning the parent company holds the majority of the voting rights of another economic entity of the group, or indirect, through intermediaries holding shares to a third company, and the parent can direct them to vote in its favor. The group has the same strategic mindset, and all decisions are made with the group’s overall growth in mind. Subject to the fact that the companies belonging to a group are being controlled and directed by another entity, a portion of their common stock k is often owned by third parties outside of the group. In accounting and consolidation processes these parties are referred to as the non-controlling interest and their rights as minority voting rights. Usually, such rights exist when a company is open to public offering and independent investors or external companies acquire part of the equity common stock, or when a partial takeover has taken place and the majority of the target’s capital is acquired by the group, in any combination. Minority rights in an economic entity cease at the percentage of the company’s share capital attributable to them. For the group as a whole, minority interests refer to the proportion of the group that is held by third parties. From the holding company’s point of view, the objective is to maximize the value of the group and, by extension, to maximize its shareholders value. In this article, we present a method where the holding company redistributes group’s shares. In addition, by allowing its own shares to trade, resulting in a greater decrease in holdings’ integrated control and a higher increase in its cash inflows.

CONTAÇÃO DE HISTÓRIAS TRADICIONAIS E LEITURA NA ALFABETIZAÇÃO NA ESCOLA MUNICIPAL INDÍGENA PILAD REBUÁ, MIRANDA, MS
Authors: Jacobina Tânia Pascoal Metelo , Lacerda Léia Teixeira
Published: February 2023

Este trabalho apresenta dados parciais de uma investigação sobre o potencial pedagógico das rodas de leitura e contação de histórias realizadas em sala de aula, de maneira articulada com as práticas tradicionais na alfabetização de estudantes dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental da Escola Municipal Indígena Pilad Rebuá em Miranda, MS. Nesse período da alfabetização nas séries iniciais, os estudantes têm um papel ativo no próprio aprendizado, sendo capazes de elaborar ideias, concepções e hipóteses, com uma postura de investigação diante dos objetos de estudos. Como é responsável por inserir os estudantes no mundo do letramento, o ambiente escolar deve prepará-los para que fiquem competentes na língua escrita e em diversas situações comunicativas. A pesquisa usa como aporte teórico as contribuições de autores dos campos da educação, literatura e alfabetização, assim como a legislação da Educação Escolar Indígena, para analisar os dados obtidos nas entrevistas como corpo docente e os gestores da escola e os idosos da comunidade. Os resultados poderão aprimorar a formação de professores e contribuir com a implementação dos saberes tradicionais no currículo escolar mediante as atividades de contação de histórias, de modo que os estudantes possam recontar histórias tradicionais narradas pelos anciões da aldeia promovendo a transmissão do saber e da cultura indígena por meio da oralidade.

Published: February 2023

O objetivo desse trabalho é representar as principais mudanças ocorridas nas atividades produtivas de agricultores familiares da microrregião de Altamira, Pará. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com sete famílias do Projeto de Assentamento Assurini, no município de Altamira, e em Pacajá, na comunidade São Sebastião. As famílias entrevistadas ocuparam os lotes em épocas distintas, três na década de 1980, duas nos anos de 1990 e uma em 2004. Foram destacadas as mudanças nas atividades econômicas principais, com a retirada do cultivo do arroz e inserção do gado bovino, do açaí plantado e do cacau, e com isso alteração no calendário pela diminuição de tempo de trabalho de trabalho dedicado às roças de anuais. A produção de farinha perdeu destaque, restrita ao consumo e com menor tempo de trabalho. As famílias que começaram a plantar açaí identificaram que houve mudança na época de sua colheita, estendida de junho a outubro. Em relação ao preparo de novas áreas para plantio, há mudança na escolha da época de queimada, passando de agosto/setembro para novembro no intuito de se controle melhor o fogo, dada a percepção do aumento do calor nos últimos anos e o aumento de casos de queimadas acidentais. As famílias optaram por sistemas de produção não diversificados e por produtos já consolidados no mercado regional, e as alterações nos calendários agrícolas estão relacionadas a mudanças nos tipos de atividades produtivas presentes, nas práticas de preparo e manejo das parcelas, e menor disponibilidade de força de trabalho familiar.

Esta pesquisa é um estudo de caso sobre o ensino de violino para crianças autistas, com o objetivo de analisar o aprendizado musical de estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) em uma turma com crianças neurotípicas. Como procedimento metodológico adotou-se a abordagem qualitativa e como técnica de coleta de dados foi utilizada a observação não-participante. Como instrumento da coleta foi utilizado a Escala de Verificação do Aprendizado Musical de Violino e Viola e Diário de Bordo. Os resultados indicaram que os estudantes com TEA, mesmo de forma diferenciada, apresentaram conhecimento musical após três meses de intervenção, sendo necessário manter uma rotina sobre as aulas, repetição de conteúdo, monitor individual e postura do professor de sala. Depreendeu-se que a presença de crianças com TEA na sala de aula não influenciou no aprendizado dos alunos neurotípicos.
The Many Lives of Yang Luchan: Mythopoesis, Media, and the Martial Imagination
Authors: Wile Douglas
Published: February 2023

The life of Yang Luchan, patriarch of the Yang lineage and founder of taijiquan’s most popular style, is a biographical blank slate upon which conservative, progressive, orientalist, and just plain rice bowl interests have inscribed wildly divergent narratives. Conservative scholar-disciples sought to link him with the invented Wudang-Daoist lineage, while progressives emphasized his humble origins and health benefits of the practice. His life (c.1799-1872) straddled the height of the Manchu empire and decline into semi-colonial spheres of foreign influence, while successive generations of Yang descendants propagated his ‘intangible cultural heritage’ through Republican, Communist, ‘open’ and global eras. Practiced world-wide by hundreds of millions, taijiquan’s name recognition made it ripe for media appropriation, and Yang Luchan has been remythologized in countless novels, cartoons, television series, and full-length feature films. The case of Yang Luchan offers an unusual opportunity to witness an ongoing process of mythopoesis against a background of historical antecedents and to compare these narratives with traditional Chinese warrior heroes and Western models of mythology and heroology. If the lack of facts has not constrained the fabrication of invented biographies, neither should it discourage the quest for historical context as we sift and winnow truth from trope in examining the patterns of motivated reasoning that characterize the many reconstructions of Yang’s biography.

W pracy przedstawiono analizę wpływu efektów temperaturowych na zmianę stanu naprężeń w trakcie pracy złoża geotermalnego. Cel pracy został zrealizowany przy wykorzystaniu metody efektywnego sprzężenia symulacji złożowo-termalnych i geomechanicznych jako sprzężenia hydro-termo-mechanicznego (H-T-M). W ramach tego zadania zbudowano dwa syntetyczne złożowe modele symulacyjne, model przepływowo-termalny oraz model geomechaniczny. Do przepływowego modelu symulacyjnego zaimplementowano dublet otworów: jeden otwór zatłaczający zimną wodę i drugi – wydobywający gorącą wodę. Obliczenia różnych wariantów prognoz przepływu płynów złożowych i energii cieplnej dla złoża geotermalnego realizowano przy użyciu symulatorów Eclipse i Visage pod kontrolą oprogramowania Petrel firmy Schlumberger. W wyniku sprzężonych symulacji uzyskano rozkłady zmian parametrów złożowych (ciśnienia i temperatury) oraz zmian parametrów geomechanicznych (naprężeń i odkształceń) w funkcji czasu. Otrzymane wyniki obliczeń posłużyły do analizy stanu geomechanicznego złoża geotermalnego pod wpływem zmian ciśnienia i temperatury. Dzięki temu możliwe było określenie udziałów efektów temperaturowych i efektów ciśnieniowych w zmianie tensora naprężeń. Wykonane analizy pozwoliły również na wykazanie, który z tych czynników odgrywał dominującą rolę w trakcie pozyskiwania energii geotermalnej. Analiza stanu geomechanicznego została także uzupełniona o analizę stabilności skały złożowej z użyciem diagramów koła Mohra, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem efektów temperaturowych. Sprzężone symulacje wariantowe pozwoliły na określenie optymalnych parametrów operacyjnych pracy złoża geotermalnego. Zbadano zmienność w czasie temperatury wydobywanej wody dla każdego wariantu symulacyjnego. Skorelowano ze sobą następujące parametry operacyjne: wydajność zatłaczania/odbioru wody i temperaturę zatłaczanej wody oraz wynikowe charakterystyki procesu pozyskiwania energii geotermalnej: czas redukcji temperatury wydobywanej wody do zadanej wartości i całkowitą ilość pozyskanej energii cieplnej. Znalezione zależności pomiędzy wspomnianymi parametrami pozwoliły na optymalizację parametrów operacyjnych pod kątem pozyskania maksymalnej ilości energii cieplnej.

W artykule przedstawiono realizację wybranych zadań przyjętych przez KE w ramach planu REPowerEU, zmierzającego do uniezależnienia Europy od rosyjskich paliw kopalnych, a równocześnie do budowy nowego europejskiego systemu energetycznego wraz z odpowiednią infrastrukturą. Zwrócono uwagę na kilka aspektów, w tym między innymi na pilną konieczność zdywersyfikowania źródeł dostaw gazu ziemnego do UE. Omówiono działania wewnątrzwspólnotowe podjęte dla złagodzenia kryzysu energetycznego (utworzenie między innymi unijnej platformy energetycznej, zawarcie szeregu porozumień tzw. solidarnościowych między krajami członkowskimi na dostawy gazu w sytuacjach kryzysowych). Przedstawiono planowane inwestycje o charakterze wspólnotowym zwiększające możliwości zaopatrzenia w gaz (w tym między innymi terminal pływający w Gdańsku, rozbudowa gazociągu przesyłowego LNG przez Pireneje i rozbudowa połączeń systemów przesyłowych Hiszpanii, Francji czy Włoch z systemami afrykańskimi). Zaprezentowano wybrane projekty inwestycyjne związane z dostarczaniem gazu do Polski, a współfinansowane ze źródeł europejskich. Podkreślono istotne znaczenie oszczędzania i efektywnego wykorzystania energii, będących najtańszym, ale i najbardziej skutecznym sposobem zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa energetycznego.
Idea sprawiedliwości społecznej w kontekście procesu globalizacji

The subject of social justice are groups or whole societies – also states, object of this justice are
their mutual rights and common good. The process of economic and technological globalization means
among other things: establishment of the world market, predominant role of international companies,
centralization of leading elites’ decisions, financial disproportion between individual people
and countries. In the teaching of contemporary popes (John XXIII’s, Paul VI’s, John Paul II’s) the idea
of social justice has also international dimension and therefore process of economic globalization ought
to respect two principles of the Church’s social teaching: the principle of the subsidiarity
and the principle of solidarity. The principle of the subsidiarity demands to respect subjectivity of all
nations and states as well as to aid their integral development. The principle of solidarity postulates
creation of common good of world society, this good are: peace, economic prosperity, commerce
profitable for all states, cooperation and financial help of rich countries for underdeveloped countries.
The social justice in the international dimension is the expression and the imperative of solidarity of all
nations and states.

Background: Soybean rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. is one of the major constraints in the production of soybean. Nanotechnology is a new scientific approach that includes use of materials and equipment capable of using physical and chemical properties of a substance at molecular level to explore the biological and material worlds in nanometer-scale and use it in various carriers from medicine to agriculture. Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the most innovative scientific field in agriculture. Among various synthesis methods, green synthesis of nanoparticles is widely used by researchers because it is simple, convenient, eco-friendly and requires less reaction time. Methods: The chitosan based zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ch-ZnONPs), pomegranate aril based sulphur nanoparticles (PA-SNPs) and pomegranate aril based silver nanoparticles (PA-AgNPs) were synthesised, characterised and evaluated under in vitro conditions against soybean rust pustules. Result: The maximum per cent spore inhibition of 70.25, 74.70 and 86.68 per cent over control was recorded in Ch-ZnONPs (1250 ppm), PA-SNPs (2000 ppm) and PA-AgNPs (500 ppm) respectively.
Una manera de mejorar la calidad de la educación: el rol del director escolar
Authors: Chi Jin , Porres Agustin , Velez Bustillo Eduardo
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura y de la evidencia empírica basada en estudios de evaluación de impacto (ensayos de control aleatorios) sobre la importancia del rol directivo escolar para la mejora educativa. Dado el pequeño número de estudios, aún existen muchas preguntas por responder, por lo que la finalidad de este documento es contribuir a la reflexión y al diálogo sobre el papel del director escolar y sobre cómo fortalecer su capacidad para que desempeñe sus funciones. Se parte de la premisa de que la política de capacitar a los directores de colegios se justifica al entender que el director es el segundo factor que mayor incidencia tiene sobre los aprendizajes de los estudiantes. De esta manera, al fortalecer la capacidad de estos actores se lograrían mejoras en el proceso educativo, en los aprendizajes y en la calidad de la educación. La literatura sobre este tema es escandalosamente escasa, en particular cuando se trata de estudios que permitan establecer atribución. Es recomendable, por lo tanto, que se fomenten más estudios que permitan identificar los factores más efectivos en mejorar la calidad de los directores de escuelas y de los resultados de calidad entre los alumnos de las mismas.

Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) continues to affect the World today with over 340 million cases and over 5.5 million deaths. This situation reveals the need for vaccination, given that it is not an effective treatment. Our purpose in this study is; to compare the vaccination status of hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 and to investigate their efficacy. The study is a descriptive study and cross-sectional type. The research was carried out by retrospective examination of hospital automation data in Samsun province. In the 4-months period between July 01 and October 31, 2021, patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 were classified according to their vaccination status and identified through descriptive statistical methods. 1174(15.58%) of 7534 COVID-19 patients were admitted to intensive care units (ICU), it was observed that 879(74.8%) of the patients admitted to the ICU were unvaccinated, 174(14.8%) were vaccinated with 2 doses of Sinovac, and 0.08% (n=1) were vaccinated with 2 doses of Biontech reminders on 2 doses of Sinovac. Of the 6360 patients hospitalized in the clinics due to COVID-19, 54.76% (n=3483) were female, and 41.03% (n=2610) were ≥ 65 years old. 49.31% (n=579) of the patients hospitalized in the ICU were women, 72.65% (n= 853) were ≥ 65 years old. Unvaccination increases the risk of hospitalization and ICU admission. Missing a reminder dose and advanced age are high risk factors for hospitalization. About half of those hospitalized and the majority of those admitted to the ICU are unvaccinated, and vaccination reduces hospitalizations.
