Authors: Melo Lineardo Ferreira de Sampaio , Picanço Júnior Péricles Luiz , De Espindola Giovana Mira
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo objetivou criar um Sistema de Indicadores de Sustentabilidade Ambiental (SISA) e analisar índice de sustentabilidade ambiental da região MATOPIBA no Piauí. Selecionou-se 12 indicadores de sustentabilidade em três dimensões principais do desenvolvimento sustentável: econômica, social e ambiental. Esses indicadores são baseados nos 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Realizou-se análise da cobertura e uso da terra para compreender e analisar a relação dos indicadores com a real situação dos municípios. Os municípios piauienses integrantes do MATOPIBA obtiveram comportamento parcialmente sustentável, analisados pelo SISA, onde apenas dois municípios (Cristalândia do Piauí e Avelino Lopes) apresentaram índices gerais como insustentável. A análise da cobertura e uso da terra, na área de estudo, revelou que entre os anos de 1985 e 2021 houve um intenso processo de expansão agrícola. Concluiu-se que os resultados das análises do SISA voltado para a Região MATOPIBA podem ser otimizados ao associá-lo com dinâmica de uso e cobertura da terra.

Authors: André Maria Irene dos Santos , Dos Santos Daniela Barbosa
Published: February 2024

O crescente uso da Internet, associado às transformações sociais, econômicas e culturais que passa o mundo contemporâneo têm ampliado as discussões sobre os impactos, benefícios e problemáticas ocasionadas pelo uso da tecnologia no cotidiano da pós-modernidade. A propósito, o presente trabalho almeja apresentar dados sobre uso dos dispositivos celulares e meios eletrônicos na aprendizagem dos jovens adolescentes do ensino médio do Colégio Estadual Castelo Branco. Aponta-se as vantagens e os riscos através de pesquisas em artigos, livros e da análise de respostas de alunos e professores através da aplicação de questionários. Sabe-se que estudos recentes feitos pelo Grupo de Dependências Tecnológicas do Instituto de Psiquiatria do Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo, apontam que as mudanças causadas no cérebro pelo abuso na utilização da web são semelhantes aos efeitos de drogas químicas como a cocaína e o álcool. Assim, a proposta dessa investigação é levar a ponderação sobre o uso da tecnologia na vida dos jovens no ambiente escolar e a partir dessa avaliação criar projetos para o uso pedagógico dos dispositivos eletrônicos, especialmente dos celulares a fim de criar-se uma consciência de responsabilidade quanto a utilização moderada desses recursos tecnológicos. A pesquisa foi qualitativa, uma vez que as vantagens são muitas, pois atinge grande número de pessoas simultaneamente. Após análise das respostas de professores e alunos constatou-se que os docentes precisam de formação para lidar melhor com os dispositivos na aprendizagem. Já os estudantes precisam ter a educação como a prevenção, para ajudar a restabelecer (dentro de limites razoáveis) um padrão de uso moderado dos dispositivos e celulares. Assim, é de suma importância que os pais, responsáveis e professores estejam atentos para observar o comportamento desses jovens quanto ao uso excessivo da internet, através do celular, e assim não comprometer a aprendizagem.

A violência sexual infantil é um fenômeno universal e silencioso, presente em todos os países. Na violência, a criança não é capaz de compreender ou decidir sobre o ato, sendo utilizados meios de coerção ou indução, ou ainda que possa incorrer em ato que seja, para a sociedade, considerado ilegal. Assim, objetivou mapear na literatura quais os sinais e sintomas da violência sexual evidenciados em crianças. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada em outubro e novembro de 2021, nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, COCHRANE LIBRARY, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, LILACS e PsycINFO, por meio do cruzamento dos descritores “abuso sexual na infância”, “delitos sexuais”, “sinais e sintomas”, “trauma sexual”, “criança”, “pré-escolar” e “recém-nascido”, nas línguas português, espanhol e inglês, não foi considerado limite temporal para seleção dos artigos. Os resultados foram analisados criticamente de forma descritiva. Foram selecionados 23 artigos para amostra. Os achados identificaram os sinais e sintomas de violência sexual em crianças tanto na dimensão da agressão física quanto psicossocial. Na primeira, destaca-se as lesões anogenitais, geniturinários e as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, enquanto que na dimensão psicossocial nota-se a presença de alterações emocionais, cognitivas e comportamentais. Dentre os sinais e sintomas mais encontrados nesta revisão no eixo físico, destacaram-se os sinais e sintomas genitais e as ISTs. Entre os psicossociais, destacaram-se sintomas emocionais e comportamentais. Esse estudo aponta evidências científicas que podem contribuir na prática de profissionais que trabalham com o público infantil na identificação dessa violência.

This study addresses the issue of the relationship between tax knowledge, attitudes towards taxes, and participation in community activities among 4th and 5th-grade students at the "Colegio Nacional Imperial." The overall objective was to examine how tax knowledge impacts students' attitudes and community participation. To achieve this, a quantitative approach was employed, and a questionnaire was administered to 376 students. The analysis of the results highlights a significant positive correlation (Rho = 0,658) between tax knowledge and attitudes towards taxes. Students with a higher level of tax knowledge tend to exhibit more positive attitudes towards taxes, recognizing their importance in funding essential community services. Additionally, a positive correlation between tax knowledge and participation in community activities was found (Rho = 0,524). Students who better understand tax concepts are more willing to engage in community initiatives, demonstrating their civic responsibility and contribution to local development. Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between attitudes towards taxes and participation in community activities (Rho = 0,525). Students with positive attitudes towards taxes are more motivated to participate in community projects, recognizing the link between taxes and local improvements. These results underscore the significance of tax education in cultivating positive attitudes and promoting active student participation in the community. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the significant influence of tax knowledge on students' attitudes and community engagement. The observed positive correlations suggest that effective tax education can act as a catalyst for fostering positive attitudes towards taxes and inspiring active participation in community projects. These findings support the need to strengthen tax education in schools to shape informed, responsible, and community-minded citizens.

For Westerners coffee is only three hundred years old, but in the Muslim East it was widespread as a refreshment, in every level of society, since the Prophet Muhammad's (saw) Mission. The first definite dates of the plantation and consumption of coffee in Arabia go back to the years of the Coptic viceroy Abraha, who invaded and occupied Yemen. His army failed to capture Makkah and was miraculously destroyed in the year of the Prophet's birth (570 CE). In the year 1000 CE, Ibn Sina (referred to in the Latin West as Avicenna) recommended coffee as a medicine which "fortifies limbs, cleans the skin, dries up humidity that are under it and suppresses bad odor of human body".

The Middle East has long been recognised as a problematic region and even more so when viewed from the general perspective of international diplomacy and specifically, great power foreign policy. One of the foremost reasons why the 'Middle East question' is such a thorny one with respect to the US, Britain and Europe may ultimately be put down to their long and 'troubled' involvement and engagement in the region. Even so, it is the intention of this essay to provide a snapshot of the roles played and the policy decisions of the aforementioned actors and how these have impacted on the politics of the region itself.
CIVILIZATION AN INSTRUMENT OF WORLD ORDER? THE ROLE OF THE CIVILIZATIONAL PARADIGM IN THE ABSENCE OF BALANCE OF POWER
Authors:   University of Lunsbruck, Austria, Köchler H. C. Hans
Published: February 2024

"Civilization" has become a buzzword in contemporary discourse about global affairs. What is called "international order" - a system of power-centered interaction between states - has always invited the creation of "legitimating tools" by those who had an interest in the preservation of a given distribution of power. The very stability of world order is, inter alia, a function of its legitimation. While in an earlier era - in particular that of the "Holy Alliance" - religion was the determining factor in the discourse of legitimation, it has been gradually succeeded - as far as the dominant Western civilization is concerned - by secularized ideologies and, more recently, the paradigm of "civilization."

Authors: Wang Defeng , Ariful Islam Md. , Mischo Helmut
Published: February 2024

Fly ash, as a kind of hazardous by-product at coal-fired power stations, has been produced on a tremendous scale worldwide. Still, the utilization of fly ash is far from 100% despite some industrial sectors consuming a considerable amount. The top three industries that have successfully applied fly ash on a large scale are cement production, backfill mining, and civil engineering construction. However, compared to the other two fly ash disposal methods, the use of fly ash in backfill mining is still being extensively researched. Not only is fly ash a perfect substitute for cement due to its cementitious properties bringing the cost of backfill mining down to an affordable level for enterprises, the carbon sequestration capacity it possesses is generating new research enthusiasm. This chapter provides a comparative analysis of the current status of the use of fly ash in different mining methods and the role it plays in the corresponding mining method, with an emphasis on the mechanisms by which fly ash content affects the rheological properties of the paste and the strength of the fill. Therefore, this chapter can contribute to understanding the potential of fly ash in mining applications and exploring innovative applications of fly ash.

Chronic kidney disease is common worldwide, and the number of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is expected to rise over the next decade. These patients must select one of the three main treatments available to them: conservative care, dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), and kidney transplantation. Hemodialysis can occur in a dialysis center (in-center dialysis) or in a person’s home (home dialysis). The international guidelines support the approach of shared decision-making (SDM) for selecting renal replacement therapy. In this approach, patients and healthcare providers collaborate to make medical decisions that incorporate the patient’s values and preferences in conjunction with the best evidence. However, in some clinical practice, patients feel that they do not receive the full knowledge of all available options or that the selection of certain treatment is not well reasoned. In this chapter, the application of SDM for the selection of renal replacement therapies will be discussed in detail.

Published: February 2024

In the evolving context of mass distribution, terroir private labels (TPLs) have firmly established themselves as indispensable players in the world of brands, responding to the growing expectations of consumers in search of quality, authenticity, and unique sensory experiences. This chapter explores the multiple facets of preserving authenticity within terroir private labels, focusing on their role within large retail chains. We begin the chapter with an analysis of terroir products and their associated private labels, laying the groundwork for understanding their importance. We then examine consumer motivations for choosing terroir products, highlighting the critical role of private labels within the retail sector. While highlighting the challenges of integrating them into traditional agri-food models, we emphasize the importance of preserving authenticity through local initiatives and alternative food networks. In addition, this chapter looks at how large retail chains can strengthen their connections with consumers by promoting values such as proximity, trust, and storytelling. We also explore the social responsibility dimension of local private labels, focusing on supporting local producers and preserving the environment. Finally, we will formulate strategic recommendations for retailers to strengthen the authenticity and sustainability of their terroir private labels while contributing to the development of local communities.
Effect of Intra-Dialytic Physical Exercise on Depression in Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Abdelmohsen Sanad Eman
Published: February 2024

In hemodialysis (HD) patients, depression is linked to morbidity, mortality, a worse quality of life, a shorter life expectancy, and even suicidal thoughts. Intradialytic exercise is regarded as a crucial part of the clinical care management of HD patients because it enhances the effectiveness of HD, lowers systemic inflammation, increases exercise tolerance, lowers depressive symptoms, and improves quality of life.

In order to represent the different epidemiological facies that abound in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), new sentinel sites were created. Before their operationalization, baseline evaluations of the bionomics and the insecticide resistance status of malaria vectors were conducted. Using Human Landing Catches (HLCs) and Pyrethrum Spray Catches (PSCs), sampled Anopheles gambiae s.l. were screened for the presence of Plasmodium falciparum. Larval surveys were organized to assess the sensitivity of wild An. gambiae to selected insecticides. Surveys on the community use of Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs), Surveys on the community use of Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs), were conducted. A total of 2238 Anopheles were collected. Including, 1802 (80.5%) by HLC and 436 (19.5%) by PSC. The majority of the samples were An. gambiae (98%) with very high average transmission entomological indices (density, Human Biting Rates (HBRs) and Entomological Inoculation Rates (EIRs)). These An. gambiae were resistant to selected insecticides at all sites. Households close to breeding sites were at high risk. Overall, ITN coverage was low (41.7%). Of these three sites, only Mweka presented a good coverage of 90%. Only Mweka presented a good coverage of 90%. The sentinel sites are located in the same epidemiological facies where the conditions for transmission of the disease and the incidence are identical. This transmission is ensured by An. gambiae with high resistance statuses vis-à-vis pyrethroids. The ecological choice is necessary for a good representation.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affecting 5–10% of women, is characterized by irregular ovulation and excess androgen hormones. The multifactorial causes include hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, genetics, and obesity. Diagnosis involves identifying criteria like oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and micropolycystic ovarian appearance. Traditional treatments include progesterone-based medication and oral contraceptives. However, fertility-focused treatments such as clomiphene, metformin, purified FSH, or LH are administered for those seeking to restore fertility. This article explores “ProFecund Ino,” a myo-inositol-based treatment for PCOS. It touts benefits such as improved hormonal balance, regulated menstrual cycles, stimulated ovulation, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and positive effects on the nervous system. The study involving 200 women with PCOS showed a 38% pregnancy rate with ProFecund Ino and additional pregnancies resulted from ovarian stimulation and IVF procedures. The conclusion underscores the efficacy of myo-inositol-based treatments in conjunction with assisted reproductive techniques, significantly increasing pregnancy chances for women with PCOS.
Nursing XR Simulator for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A New Purpose of Future Technology Development
Authors: Colley Noriyo
Published: February 2024

XR is a term within the spectrum of virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR). In 2015, Endotracheal Suctioning Training Environment SIMulator (ESTE-SIM) project team was established (PI: Noriyo Colley), which consisted of a wide range of disciplines including nursing science, information science, and healthcare engineering to promote the development of a pedagogical environment for quality care through simulation education. Mutual recognition was found that a digital transformation plays an important role to mitigate the risks of global shortages of nurses and healthcare faculty due to pandemic, ultra-aging society, and technology dependent children such as children with home mechanical ventilators. Nursing XR simulators are being developed for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, which is a new purpose of future technology development.
Theta correspondences and arithmetic intersections
Authors:   , Gutiérrez Terradillos Armando
Published: February 2024

(English) The thesis is mainly divided into two parts. In essence, the first one is an extension of the paper [Ter22]. Using the regularized Siege-Weil formula of [GQT14] we obtain an explicit expression for the truncated integral of the Siegel theta function. The main application of this result is an explicit formula for the integral of the logarithm of the Borcherds forms. The result involves different zeta values and coefficients of Eisenstein series. It completes the work of [Kud03]. Besides the aforementioned formula for the integral of the theta function, a detailed analysis of the Siegel theta function near the infinity is required. Chapter two is an extension of the work with Antonio Cauchi in [CT]. The purpose of this part is twofold. On the one hand, under some conditions, we show that the multiplicity of the Shalika model of unramified representations for the group GU(2, 2) is one. Using this result and following the ideas of [Sak06], we are able to find an expression of the Shalika functional in terms of the Satake parameter of a representation in GSp4. On the other hand, we use this result and to establish a relationship between a zeta integral for a group GU(2,2) and a twisted standard L-function of GSp4, where the relation between the involved automorphic representations is given by the theta correspondence.
