Espesura de silencio en La Vereda: El último bastión de la “arquitectura negra de Guadalajara”
Authors: Rupérez Escribano Miguel Ángel , Vela Cossío Fernando
Published: November 2023

En el corazón del Macizo de Ayllón, en el entorno del pico Ocejón, se han conservado testimonios de gran valor para la comprensión tanto de las formas ancestrales del poblamiento como de los materiales, las técnicas y los sistemas característicos de la construcción popular en las áreas serranas del Sistema Central. Esta “arquitectura negra de Guadalajara” –estudiada específicamente por vez primera en los trabajos de Carlos Flores y de Luis Martínez Feduchi en los años setenta del siglo XX, y que daba continuidad a la labor emprendida por Leopoldo Torres Balbás durante los años veinte y treinta– constituye uno de los conjuntos más singulares del patrimonio edificado de carácter etnográfico de la Península Ibérica. Sus invariantes tipológicas y constructivas son resultado de su plena adaptación al entorno del cual forman parte y que contribuyen a caracterizar. Entre las muestras mejor conservadas de este conjunto puede destacarse La Vereda, un pequeño núcleo que parece resistir –casi intacto– al paso del tiempo y que nos ofrece una imagen nítida de ese valioso paisaje de la tradición.

A política do Plano Nacional de Educação (2014-2024) e a gestão da educação no estado de Santa Catarina: do patrimonialismo ao gerencialismo
Authors: Silveira Carmem Lucia Albrecht da , Zardo-Morescho Sandra Maria , Estormovski Renata Cecilia
Published: November 2023

Este estudo tem o objetivo de discutir como a ocorrência de influências gerencialistas atravessam o Plano Nacional de Educação (2014-2024) em sua Meta 19 - que orienta a gestão da educação básica nacional - a partir da análise de direcionamentos legais relativos ao provimento de gestores escolares, evidenciando o caso da rede pública estadual de Santa Catarina. Esta pesquisa se caracteriza como bibliográfica-documental e as reflexões projetadas denotam que, embora o PNE vigente e as políticas educacionais regulamentem a implantação da gestão democrática nas escolas públicas, a prática não se aplica igualmente em todos os estados brasileiros. Desse modo, integra o estudo a situação histórica do estado catarinense, em que se materializa o jogo de forças ora a favor, ora contra a gestão democrática quanto à condução do processo eletivo do gestor escolar na educação pública. Historicamente marcado pelo patrimonialismo, o estado de Santa Catarina apresenta uma gestão escolar regida por uma política de governo assentada em moldes gerencialistas.

Programme evaluation of social housing development in eThekwini Municipality : a case study of first metro housing rental company in South Africa
Authors:   , Gwala Mphakanyiswa Stanley
Published: November 2023

This study examined the programme evaluation of social housing development in eThekwini Municipality using a case study of First Metro Housing Rental Company in South Africa. The 1994 democracy brought an immeasurable amount of work intending to provide affordable settlement for the poor and needy citizens, which became unbearable to do all the work as planned. The adoption of the preferential procurement policy supported housing demands to achieve socio-economic responsibility that later brought many challenges to the government. The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) and Breaking New Grounds (BNG) housing programme affected the livelihood of poor people negatively and positively. Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of the implementation of the social housing programmes at eThekwini municipality. Furthermore, the study recommends strategies that will contribute towards the improvement of social housing development programmes and bridging the gap between low-cost houses and open market houses. The objectives intended to examine the determinants of managing the social housing development programme in First Metro Housing Rental Company (FMHC Rental S.A) to investigate the challenges experienced by stakeholders in the implementation of social housing development programmes, and to recommend a strategy that can improve the housing delivery at eThekwini Municipality. To achieve these objectives, the population targeted included managers, supervisors, and employees from eThekwini municipality (Durban–Avoca Hills) and First Metro Housing Rental Company, where the sample was drawn. This study adopted a mixed methods approach to collect and analyse data. The interview and questionnaire instruments were used to collect data respectively from 7 officials at FMHC and 212 tenants. Data were processed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithm software and the Nvivo thematic approaches. Thus, the social housing policy objectives were set to support and structuring spatial, economic, and social transformation. Findings show that existing policies guiding social Housing Development in South Africa, and particularly at eThekwini Municipality have been inadequately and inefficiently implemented. The improvement of land policy, and policy to tackle challenges affecting social housing development programmes were strongly recommended towards closing the gap of the demand of social housing in South Africa.

Published: November 2023

Social media as the name implies has been a medium of social interactions, information dissemination and communications in our world today. In other words, it is a computer-based technology that makes it easier to communicate ideas, opinions, and facts by forming important networks and organizations. As such, its importance has been hugely harnessed in education sector for information sharing, searching and social interaction among university students.However, its usage among students may have negative impact on their academic performances. Therefore, this study tried to find out the impact of the variables; social media usage time and study time on the academic performance of Nigerian students using Two-way Crossed Classification. A sampling survey strategy was adopted to get a representative of our target population of university students from which we inferred our findings for the entire population under study. To achieve this, a google form comprising of ten questions of which two of the questions were provided on a five-point Likert scale, with the five possibilities being strongly disagree, disagree, strongly agree, agree, and neutral was developed. The study revealed that spending time on social media alone is not sufficient to adversely affect a student’s academic performance. It also says the same for time spent studying. That means that these two factors when acting alone do not affect a student’s academic performance either positively or negatively. Now, this does not entirely imply that social media usage time cannot affect students’ performance or that spending time studying has no part to play in students’ performing well or poorly but at the 95% confidence level i.e., a significance level of 5% these factors have no individual significant contribution to students’ academic performance.

Authors:   Asia Social Science Academy, Gao Shen , Pu Chuan , Wang Baoqin , Jiang Yi
Published: November 2023

Metacognition is the cognition of cognition, and the advantage of its combination with case teaching is reflected in that students can strengthen the effect of case teaching by re-recognizing the process and learning behavior of case teaching. This study is to carry out metacognition-based case teaching in the course of Medical Health Laws and Regulations for postgraduate students in order to innovate the teaching methods of ideological and political education. The practice of case teaching based on metacognition is divided into four parts: formulating teaching objectives, forming the micro-class library of curriculum ideological and political cases, carrying out case teaching and teaching evaluation. The evaluation results of students show that the course case teaching based on metacognitive theory can significantly improve the learning effect, and planning, monitoring and adjustment are the three strategies to improve the metacognitive ability.
BIMBOFICATION TO EMPOWER: REPRESENTATION OF HYPERFEMININITY ON TIKTOK
Authors: Rosaria Melanie , Wijaya Andika
Published: November 2023

Among the diversity of trends and subcultures on TikTok, bimbofication has become a notable phenomenon with its representation of hyperfemininity to dismantle misogyny and patriarchal standards in society. The movement acknowledges and challenges the stigma towards bimbos who are often portrayed as hyperfeminine women, while inviting the audience to engage in traits and attitudes that are associated with the stereotypes. The purpose of the movement is to empower and liberate women from the fear of misogyny. However, due to the layers and complexity in the discussion, bimbofication may provoke mixed interpretations and invite various responses. The complexity of bimbofication can be found in videos posted by Chrissy Chlapecka, a self-proclaimed bimbo figure on TikTok. This paper contributes to gender studies as it explores hyperfemininity representation in relation to the notion of women’s empowerment. Moreover, it also intersects with cultural studies as it examines a social phenomenon on social media, specifically TikTok movement, and how it challenges society's standards. By following Sandelowski purposive sampling method (1995) and Murnen and Byrne’s hyperfemininity scale (1991), it is found that regardless of the ambiguities and varying interpretations, bimbofication has provided a space for women to freely express and explore their unique version of femininity.AbstrakDi antara keragaman tren dan subkultur di TikTok, bimbofication telah menjadi fenomena penting karena representasi hiperfeminitasnya yang membongkar misogini dan standar patriarkis dalam masyarakat. Gerakan ini mengakui dan menantang stigma terhadap bimbo yang sering digambarkan sebagai wanita hiperfeminin sambil mengajak penonton untuk melibatkan diri mereka dengan sifat dan sikap yang terkait dengan stereotip tersebut. Tujuan dari gerakan ini adalah pemberdayaan dan pembebasan perempuan dari ketakutan akan misogini. Namun, karena lapisan-lapisan dan kompleksitas dalam diskusi ini, bimbofication dapat memicu interpretasi yang beragam dan mengundang berbagai macam tanggapan. Kompleksitas bimbofication dapat ditemukan dalam video yang diunggah oleh Chrissy Chlapecka, sosok yang memproklamirkan dirinya sebagai bimbo di TikTok. Artikel ini berkontribusi pada studi gender dengan mengeksplorasi representasi hiperfeminitas dalam kaitannya dengan gagasan pemberdayaan perempuan. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga bersinggungan dengan kajian budaya karena meneliti fenomena sosial di media sosial, khususnya gerakan TikTok, dan bagaimana gerakan ini menantang standar masyarakat. Dengan mengikuti metode purposive sampling dari Sandelowski (1995) dan menggunakan skala hiperfeminitas Murnen dan Byrne (1991), artikel ini menemukan bahwa, terlepas dari ambiguitas dan interpretasi yang berbeda-beda, bimbofication telah memberikan ruang bagi perempuan untuk berekspresi secara bebas dan mengeksplorasi feminitas mereka yang unik.

O DIREITO A SAÚDE: A INTERPOSIÇÃO DE DEMANDAS EM BUSCA DO FORNECIMENTO DE MEDICAMENTOS DE ALTO CUSTO PELO ESTADO
Authors: Rabelo Araujo Matheus , Bezerra Marco Antônio Alves
Published: November 2023

Diante da necessidade primária de cuidados com a saúde, os cidadãos buscam atendimento médico e hospitalar, sendo que, diante da prescrição de um tratamento, pode ser necessário fazer uso de fármacos, ou se submeter a um tratamento mais específico, a exemplo de eventual intervenção cirúrgica. Acontece que, em casos específicos, de doenças singulares, esses medicamentos podem custar um alto valor, o que impede os cidadãos de ter acesso à saúde. Previsto no artigo 6º, dentre os direitos sociais, o acesso à saúde é uma garantia constitucional de responsabilidade estatal. Indispensável para o alcance da dignidade humana, quando não é possível adquirir o medicamento, o cidadão precisa buscar meios de solucionar o problema, ainda que juridicamente. Deste modo, a pesquisa que se inicia tem como objetivo geral de analisar a relevância das ações de obrigação de fazer em face do Estado como instrumento de acesso a medicamentos de alto custo não fornecidos gratuitamente. Neste interim, mediante pesquisa bibliográfica, o artigo científico foi redigido segundo o método dedutivo, iniciando-se com a abordagem constitucional do direito à saúde, com análise dos impactos financeiros para o Estado, para concluir sobre a judicialização desse direito através da interposição de ações de obrigação de fazer e os efeitos dela decorrente em contraposição ao princípio da reserva do possível.

Quantifying the dependence of drop spectrum width on cloud drop number concentration for cloud remote sensing
Authors: Lebsock Matthew D. , Witte Mikael
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In situ measurements of liquid cloud and precipitation drop size distributions from aircraft-mounted probes are used to examine the relationship of the width of drop size distributions to cloud drop number. The width of the size distribution is quantified in terms of the parameter k=(rv/re)3, where rv is the volume mean radius and re is the effective radius of the distributions. We find that on small spatial scales (∼100 m), k is positively correlated with cloud drop number. This correlation is robust across a variety of campaigns using different probe technology. A new parameterization of k versus cloud drop number is developed. This new parameterization of k is used in an algorithm to derive cloud drop number in liquid phase clouds using satellite measurements of cloud optical depth and effective radius from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor on Aqua. This algorithm is compared to the standard approach to derive drop number concentration that assumes a fixed value for k. The general tendency of the parameterization is to narrow the distribution of derived number concentration. The new parameterization generally increases the derived number concentration over ocean, where N is low, and decreases it over land, where N is high. Regional biases are as large as 20 % with the magnitude of the bias closely tracking the regional mean number concentration. Interestingly, biases are smallest in regions of frequent stratocumulus cloud cover, which are a regime of significant interest for study of the aerosol indirect effect on clouds.

Abstract. Tracking environmental change is important to ensure efficient and sustainable natural resources management. East Africa is dominated by arid and semi-arid rangeland systems, where extensive grazing of livestock represents the primary livelihood for most of the human population. Despite several mapping efforts, East Africa lacks accurate and reliable high-resolution rangeland health maps necessary for management, policy, and research purposes. Earth Observations offer the opportunity to assess spatiotemporal dynamics in rangeland health conditions at much higher spatial and temporal coverage than conventional approaches that rely on in-situ methods, while complimenting their certainty. Using machine learning-based classification and linear unmixing, this paper produced Landsat-based time series at 30 m spatial resolution for mapping of land cover classes (LCC) and vegetation fractional cover (VFC, including photosynthetic vegetation PV, non-photosynthetic vegetation NPV, and bare ground BG), two major data assets to derive metrics for rangeland health in East Africa. Due to scarcity of in-situ measurements in a large, remote and highly heterogeneous landscape, an algorithm was developed to combine very high-resolution WorldView-2 and -3 satellite imagery at < 2 m resolutions with a limited set of ground observations to generate reference labels across the study region. The LCC analysis yielded an overall accuracy of 0.856 using our validation dataset, with Kappa of 0.832; VFC, yielded R2 = 0.801, p < 2.2e-16, normalized root mean squared error (nRMSE) = 0.123. Our products represent the first multi-decadal high-resolution dataset specifically designed for mapping and monitoring rangelands health in East Africa including Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, covering a total area of 745,840 km2, dominated by arid and semi-arid extensive rangeland systems. These data can be valuable to a wide range of development, humanitarian, and ecological conservation efforts and are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7106166 (Soto et al., 2023) and Google Earth Engine (GEE; details in data availability section).

Abstract. Sea-ice ridges constitute a large fraction of the total Arctic sea-ice area (up to 40 %–50 %); nevertheless, they are the least studied part of the ice pack. Here we investigate sea-ice melt rates using rare, repeated underwater multibeam sonar surveys that cover a period of 1 month during the advanced stage of sea-ice melt. Bottom melt increases with ice draft for first- and second-year level ice and a first-year ice ridge, with an average of 0.46, 0.55, and 0.95 m of total snow and ice melt in the observation period, respectively. On average, the studied ridge had a 4.6 m keel bottom draft, was 42 m wide, and had 4 % macroporosity. While bottom melt rates of ridge keel were 3.8 times higher than first-year level ice, surface melt rates were almost identical but responsible for 40 % of ridge draft decrease. Average cross-sectional keel melt ranged from 0.2 to 2.6 m, with a maximum point ice loss of 6 m, showcasing its large spatial variability. We attribute 57 % of the ridge total (surface and bottom) melt variability to keel draft (36 %), slope (32 %), and width (27 %), with higher melt for ridges with a larger draft, a steeper slope, and a smaller width. The melt rate of the ridge keel flanks was proportional to the draft, with increased keel melt within 10 m of its bottom corners and the melt rates between these corners comparable to the melt rates of level ice.
Revealing social dimensions of urban mobility with big data: A timely dialogue
Authors: Wu Jiangyue , Zhou Jiangping
Published: November 2023

Considered a total social phenomenon, mobility is at the center of intricate social dynamics in cities and serves as a reading lens to understand the whole society. With the advent of big data, the potential for using mobility as a key social analyzer was unleashed in the past decade. The purpose of this research is to systematically review the evolution of big data's role in revealing social dimensions of urban mobility and discuss how they have contributed to various research domains from early 2010s to now. Six major research topics are detected from the selected online academic corpuses by conducting keywords-driven topic modeling techniques, reflecting diverse research interests in networked mobilities, human dynamics in spaces, event modeling, spatial underpinnings, travel behaviors and mobility patterns, and sociodemographic heterogeneity. The six topics reveal a comprehensive, research-interests, evolution pattern, and present current trends on using big data to uncover social dimensions of human mobility activities. Given these observations, we contend that big data has two contributions to revealing social dimensions of urban mobility: as an efficiency advancement and as an equity lens. Furthermore, the possible limitations and potential opportunities of big data applications in the existing scholarship are discussed. The review is intended to serve as a timely retrospective of societal-focused mobility studies, as well as a starting point for various stakeholders to collectively contribute to a desirable future in terms of mobility.
Ritual del Nakatomi no Harae según el Nakatomi no Harae Kunge en la Edad Media
Authors: Kubo Masako
Published: November 2023

En los rituales tradicionales sintoístas encontramos harae 祓, ritual de purificación. Dentro de la diversidad de harae, destacan Ôharae 大祓, cuyo objetivo consiste en una gran purificación, eliminando el pecado tsumi 罪 y la impureza kegare 穢れ cada medio año. Así mismo, se conoce como “Nakatomi no harae 中臣祓”, dado que estos rituales eran encomendados al Clan Nakatomi, para su celebración.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender la espiritualidad del pueblo del Antiguo Japón, reflejada en Nakatomi no harae, textos que contienen el proceso ritual de purificación, consistente en la eliminación del origen del pecado gracias a las divinidades. El texto es considerado clave en la esencia de sintoísmo, hasta tal punto que dejó su influencia en los rituales budistas, que a partir de finales del Antiguo Japón, se reformaron en Nakatomi no harae kunge 中臣祓訓解, a través de ramas esotéricas Shingon, que han conservado elementos sintoístas incorporados al budismo.

Authors: Obach Alexandra , Sadler Michelle , Marín Matías
Published: November 2023

El artículo −que da cuenta de los resultados de dos investigaciones cualitativas ejecutadas entre 2020 y 2022−, tiene como propósito, desde un enfoque de salud global, salud colectiva y vulnerabilidad estructural, reflexionar en torno al rol que juegan nuevos actores de la sociedad civil en la promoción de la salud sexual, de derechos sexuales y en la prevención y detección del VIH en Chile. Estos actores son organizaciones de la sociedad civil conformadas por jóvenes profesionales de la salud que han construido espacios de información, promoción y atención en salud sexual y reproductiva fuera del sistema formal de salud; y organizaciones lideradas por jóvenes LGBTIQA+ en torno a información en sexualidades en general, y a acceso a prevención y detección del VIH en particular. El artículo contribuye en mostrar la importancia que tienen estos nuevos actores en las trayectorias terapéuticas en materia de salud sexual de jóvenes en Chile, y la relevancia aun mayor que han adquirido desde el inicio de la pandemia de Covid-19.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been established as a means to manipulate this microbiome safely and sustainably. Several aspects of the technical improvement including pretreatment with antibiotics, use of frozen stool samples as well as short donor-to-recipient time are proposed to improve its response rates. Its efficacy in ulcerative colitis has been proven in clinical trials while data is emerging for Crohn’s disease. This review describes briefly the biology behind FMT, the available evidence for its use in IBD, and the host, recipient and procedural factors which determine the clinical outcomes.

Ksiądz Ignacy Polkowski - kolekcjoner i "książkołap" w latach 1872-1888
Authors: Nowak Janusz
Published: November 2023

Ignacy Polkowski był jednym z najwybitniejszych uczonych ze środowiska Kościoła katolickiego drugiej połowy XIX wieku. Jako kleryk i kapłan diecezji warszawskiej, później jako ksiądz w Czerniejewie i Lubostroniu, a wreszcie jako notariusz, archiwista i kustosz Archiwum Biskupiego w Krakowie zadziwia ogromem i dynamiką swojego dorobku naukowego. Jego zainteresowania badawcze obejmowały teologię, historię i jej dyscypliny pomocnicze - archeologię, epigrafikę, numizmatykę, paleografię, studia rękopisów, studia inkunabulistyczne - oraz oczywiście historię Kościoła i literatury. Koniecznym warunkiem prowadzenia takich badań było posiadanie bogatego zbioru rękopisów, inkunabułów i starych druków. Zbudowanie takiej pracowni naukowej wymagało uważnej obserwacji rynku wydawniczego i księgarskiego oraz szerokich kontaktów z antykwariuszami i kolekcjonerami we wszystkich trzech częściach podzielonej wówczas Polski. Zamiłowanie kolekcjonerskie Polkowskiego w latach 1861-1888, wyrażające się w licznych zakupach i wyprzedażach, świadczy o niezwykłych umiejętnościach połączonych z doskonałą wiedzą. Stanowiska, które piastował w diecezjach warszawskiej, poznańskiej i krakowskiej, dały mu wiele możliwości kolekcjonowania ksiąg rękopiśmiennych i drukowanych ze zbiorów kościelnych. W ten sposób między innymi zebrał kolekcję, którą po jego śmierci oszacowano na ok. 20–30 tys. woluminów. W oczach współczesnych pasja Polkowskiego jako zbieracza książek podyktowana była również chęcią ocalenia przed rozproszeniem i wywozem kościelnych księgozbiorów historycznych oraz prywatnych bibliotek i archiwów.
O dacie konsekracji drugiej katedry włocławskiej i czasie zebrań tamtejszych kapituł generalnych w XIII i XIV w.
Authors: Maciejewski Jacek
Published: November 2023

O pierwszej katedrze włocławskiej wiadomo niewiele. Niewykluczone, iż powstała ona dopiero w momencie ostatecznego ustalenia się stolicy diecezji we Włocławku, co przypada niewątpliwienajpóźniej na drugą połowę XII w. Pierwszy murowany kościół biskupi we Włocławku powstał dopiero w XIII stuleciu. Data dzienna jego konsekracji została przechowana w późniejszym źródle z drugiej połowy XIII w. Konsekracji katedry romańskiej we Włocławku dokonano 29 kwietnia bliżej nie oznaczonego roku, a źródła nakazują nam odnieść to wydarzenie do pontyfikatu bpa Michała. Data dzienna zbiega się w tym wypadku z czasem posiedzeń kapituły i biskupa, które później (na przełomie XIV i XV w.) zostały oficjalnie uznane za posiedzenia generalne.
Dla dobra konwentu i świeckich. Szkoły w norbertańskim opactwie św. Wincentego we Wrocławiu w okresie średniowiecza

W artykule podjęto próbę weryfikacji opinii wyrażanych w literaturze na temat działalności na polu edukacji premonstratensów z klasztoru św. Wincentego we Wrocławiu. Analiza źródeł pozwoliła odrzucić pogląd, jakoby premonstratensowie osiedlili się już na początku XIII wieku. zajmujący się edukacją publiczną. Szkołę otwartą („zewnętrzną”) wybudowano przy klasztorze wrocławskim dopiero w drugiej połowie XV wieku. Od początku jednak prowadzono wewnętrzne studium szkolenia nowych kadr zakonu. Pierwotnie pozostawał częścią nowicjatu i obsługiwał go kantor klasztoru i jego pomocnicy. W XV w. kierownictwo szkołą przejął rektor. Lekcje w obu szkołach odbywały się na poziomie podstawowym (Trivium). Nic nie wiadomo o wyższych studiach teologicznych wśród wrocławskich premonstratensów.

Effect of Pretreatment on the Physicochemical, Technological and Glycemic Properties of Plantain (Musa paradisiaca) Flour: Review Paper
Authors: Elias Eyembe Lobe , Humprey Mbah Mbuh , Nganmou Noumo Thierry
Published: November 2023

Plantain is an important source of energy for many in sub-Saharan Africa. It is however highly perishable and its transformation to flour after drying helps prolong its shelf life. Drying has been associated with loss of nutrients and organoleptic quality such as color, texture and aroma. Diverse individual or combined pretreatment techniques have been largely used to improve the flour color, and texture, reduce drying time and nutrient loss during drying. There has been increasing attention on food processing methods, because food transformation can alter the nutritional, technological and physiological fate of food components. In this review, the various pretreatment techniques applied in production of plantain flour have been discussed. In addition, the impact on the nutritional, technological, properties of plantain were reviewed.

Biodiesel: An Overview
Authors: Khairati Miftahul
Published: November 2023

Biodiesel, a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel fuel, has garnered significant attention due to its potential to address pressing energy and environmental challenges. Biodiesel is a biofuel derived from organic materials, typically vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking oils, through a process known as transesterification. During this process, these feedstocks are chemically converted into biodiesel and glycerol using alcohol and a catalyst. The resulting biodiesel can be used as a drop-in replacement for conventional diesel fuel, either in pure form (B100) or blended with petroleum diesel (e.g., B5, B20). Biodiesel is also known for its compatibility with existing diesel engines and infrastructure, which facilitates its adoption without significant modifications. However, challenges such as feedstock competition with food crops, energy balance concerns, and land-use change associated with biodiesel feedstock cultivation must be considered. Additionally, ongoing research focuses on improving the production process, exploring alternative feedstocks, and optimizing engine performance. Biodiesel represents a promising solution to reduce the environmental impact of the transportation sector and enhance energy security. Its advantages in emissions reduction, compatibility, and renewability make it a crucial player in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Addressing challenges while continuing to advance the state of the art in biodiesel production and application is essential for its successful integration into our energy landscape.

Authors: Nafi’ah Khoirima , Suharini Erni , , Juhadi
Published: November 2023

On April 1, 2023, Tempurejo Sub-district, Blora District, Blora Regency, experienced a landslide that affected three houses. Several efforts have been made to reduce the occurrence of landslides, namely by making gabions and covering up the riverbank areas that have collapsed with soil. However, it turns out that these efforts have yet to bear fruit, and landslides are still occurring. Landslides in Tempurejo Sub-district have happened in the last few years, and to this day, the land that landslides still frequently collapse. The unpreparedness of households in facing disasters in the current era of social media shows that disaster literacy in formal education and society still needs to be improved. Therefore, one way to prepare households to face disasters is by increasing disaster digital literacy. This research aims to analyze household digital literacy in dealing with landslides. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design with a research sample of 52 heads of families. Data collection was carried out using tests with data analysis techniques using descriptive analysis techniques. The results of this research show an increase in household digital literacy knowledge regarding disasters.

Authors: Nunes Maria Patrícia Viana , Rêgo Jociene Lima Costa , Coutinho Ana Roberta , Ferreira Filho José Laurentino
Published: November 2023

Com a introdução da terapia antirretroviral altamente ativa, a síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA), tornou-se uma doença mais crônica, no Brasil, segundo dados do Ministério da Saúde, mais de um milhão de pessoas vivem com HIV. Este aumento na sobrevida, tem sido acompanhado pela ocorrência de alterações metabólicas e morfológicas conhecidas coletivamente como lipodistrofia associada ao HIV (LAHIV). A lipodistrofia facial pode estigmatizar e reduzir a qualidade de vida, a autoestima e a adesão aos antirretrovirais. O ácido PLLA é um polímero sintético biocompatível e biodegradável capaz de ser adaptado em várias características morfológicas desejadas e é usado para restauração do volume subcutâneo. O objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar o PLLA como uma opção eficiente de tratamento em pacientes com lipodistrofia facial. Assim, realizou-se uma revisão na literatura através do banco de dados do PubMed no período entre 2003 e 2023 usando as palavras-chave “Lipodystrophy”, “Polylactic Acid”. A pesquisa resultou em 12 artigos. Selecionou-se então, aplicando os critérios de exclusão, 9 artigos para compor esta revisão. O ácido PLLA proporciona correção volumétrica da LAHIV com resultados que podem ser mantidos por até 3 anos. A satisfação do paciente com o PLLA é alta conforme pesquisas usando escalas visuais (VAS) e de ansiedade (VAMS).
