Authors: Ajam Shadia , Thompson Abigail , Greenop Michael Arada
Published: July 2024

What started as a quick and efficient process for resolving business-to-consumer disputes, online dispute resolution (ODR) is now gaining growing popularity in national courts and commercial arbitral institutions alike. ODR continues to evolve and has already permanently and significantly changed the world of dispute resolution in many ways.This article will explore how different jurisdictions and arbitral institutions around the world have integrated ODR into their dispute resolution systems, focusing, in particular, on the issues that dispute resolution providers are faced with in making the transition from physical to virtual proceedings, such as safeguarding due process, enforceability and confidentiality.The article will conclude by seeking to draw lessons from the emerging practices of national courts and arbitral institutions that will contribute to the further development of ODR.

Authors: Bahadır Zeynep
Published: July 2024

İflâs prosedüründen doğrudan etkilenen alacaklıların, bu etki sebebiyle tasfiyede söz sahibi olmaları gerektiği ifade edilmiştir. Alacaklıların tasfiyenin süratli ve az masraflı sonuçlanmasındaki menfaati de göz önüne alınarak, iflâs tasfiyesinde alacaklı özerkliği prensibi kabul edilmiştir. İflâs alacaklılarının, devletin etkisinden olabildiğince uzak bir şekilde borçlunun mallarını tasfiye etmesi anlamına gelen alacaklı özerkliği prensibi, iflâs sistemimizde kendisini ikinci alacaklılar toplantısında geniş karar alabilme yetkisi şeklinde göstermektedir. Ancak ikinci alacaklılar toplantısının bu geniş karar alabilme yetkisi sınırsız değildir. Alacaklı özerkliğinin sınırlarını, kanun hükümleri, bireysel alacaklılar ile alacaklı gruplarının sahip oldukları menfaatler, müflis ile üçüncü kişilerin menfaatleri ve kamu yararı oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da, alacaklı özerkliği kavramı, ikinci alacaklılar toplantısının karar alma yetkisi ve bu yetkinin sınırları ile bu sınırlar ihlâl edildiği takdirde alınan kararlara karşı başvurulacak şikâyet yolu incelenmiştir.

On the relationship between Mathematics- and Computer Science Education
Authors: Fuchs Karl
Published: July 2024

In the first half of the paper, the profile of the two scientific disciplines of Mathematics Education and Computer Science Education is traced. In Mathematics Education, the description has been given in a short longitudinal section of its preying cornerstones since the beginning of the 1960s. In Computer Science Education, this is done through the description of an emancipatory science that has been taking place since the beginning of the 1990s. The second half of the contribution, with the discussion of the different perspectives of the two disciplines on the common topics of modeling and competence models, finally leads to the identification of the two disciplines as two autonomous and independent sciences.
On the order of appearance of product of consecutive Fibonacci numbers
Authors: Pongsriiam Prapanpong , Khaochim Narissara
Published: July 2024

Let $F_{n}$ be the $n$th Fibonacci number. For each positive integer $m$, the order of appearance of $m$, denoted by $z(m)$, is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $m$ divides $F_k$. Recently, D. Marques has obtained a formula for $z(F_{n}F_{n+1})$, $z(F_{n}F_{n+1}F_{n+2})$, and $z(F_{n}F_{n+1}F_{n+2}F_{n+3})$. In this paper, we extend Marques' result to the case $z(F_{n}F_{n+1}\cdots F_{n+k})$, for every $4\leq k \leq 6$. For instance, we prove that, for $n\geq1$,\[z(F_{n}F_{n+1}F_{n+2}F_{n+3}F_{n+4}) =\begin{cases}a, & \text{if $n\equiv1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10 \pmod {12}$, or $n\equiv8,60 \pmod {72}$};\\2a, & \text{if $n\equiv9,11\pmod {12}$, or $n\equiv24,44 \pmod {72}$};\\3a, & \text{if $n\equiv12,32,36,56 \pmod {72}$}; \\6a, & \text{if $n\equiv0,20,48,68 \pmod {72}$}\end{cases}\] where $a=[n,n+1,n+2,n+3,n+4]$.
Sun toughness and $P_{\geq3}$-factors in graphs
Authors: Zhou Sizhong
Published: July 2024

A $P_{\geq n}$-factor means a path factor with each component having at least $n$ vertices,where $n\geq2$ is an integer. A graph $G$ is called a $P_{\geq n}$-factor deleted graph if $G-e$admits a $P_{\geq n}$-factor for any $e\in E(G)$. A graph $G$ is called a $P_{\geq n}$-factorcovered graph if $G$ admits a $P_{\geq n}$-factor containing $e$ for each $e\in E(G)$. In thispaper, we first introduce a new parameter, i.e., sun toughness, which is denoted by $s(G)$. $s(G)$is defined as follows:$$s(G)=\min\{\frac{|X|}{sun(G-X)}: X\subseteq V(G), \ sun(G-X)\geq2\}$$if $G$ is not a complete graph, and $s(G)=+\infty$ if $G$ is a complete graph, where $sun(G-X)$denotes the number of sun components of $G-X$. Then we obtain two sun toughness conditions for agraph to be a $P_{\geq n}$-factor deleted graph or a $P_{\geq n}$-factor covered graph. Furthermore,it is shown that our results are sharp.
Total colouring of some cartesian and direct product graphs
Authors: MacKeigan Kyle , Janssen Jeannette
Published: July 2024

A graph is $k$-total colourable if there is an assignment of $k$ different colours to the vertices and edges of the graph such that no two adjacent nor incident elements receive the same colour. The total chromatic number of some direct product graphs are determined. In particular, a sufficient condition is given for direct products of bipartite graphs to have total chromatic number equal to its maximum degree plus one. Partial results towards the total chromatic number of $K_n\times K_m$ are also established.

A survey of graph burning
Authors: Bonato Anthony
Published: July 2024

Graph burning is a deterministic, discrete-time process that models how influence or contagion spreads in a graph. Associated to each graph is its burning number, which is a parameter that quantifies how quickly the influence spreads. We survey results on graph burning, focusing on bounds, conjectures, and algorithms related to the burning number. We will discuss state-of-the-art results on the burning number conjecture, burning numbers of graph classes, and algorithmic complexity. We include a list of conjectures, variants, and open problems on graph burning.
Reflections on academic integrity and academic dishonesty: How did we get here, and how do we get out?
Authors: Edino Rachael Ileh
Published: July 2024

In this article, I present a reflection based on my professional experience as a teacher and supervisor of national Grade 12 examination required as the first step for admission into post-secondary institutions in Nigeria, as well as experience as a doctoral student and graduate research assistant supporting a research grant on academic integrity in a Canadian University. I highlighted the natural reaction of the society when one is perceived to have engaged in a dishonest act citing a notable example from the world’s largest democracy, the US. I also highlighted the definition of academic integrity and forms of academic dishonesty practices that resonates with me, and made recommendations on how to address what has become a thorn in the flesh of the academic world.

Navigating the Sea of Online Proctoring
Authors: Ng Susan
Published: July 2024

Education nurtures competency and critical thinking in students, which in turn, lead to the betterment of society.  Academic integrity is instrumental in upholding the goal of education.  With the rapid pivot to remote teaching and assessment, the incorporation of online proctoring to ensure academic integrity became a necessity.  Recognizing some of the causes of academic dishonesty could be magnified with this mode of delivery, the implementation of a student-centred approach to enhance academic honesty with online assessments was embedded in our Practical Nursing math course at Centennial College.   Through the use of PowerPoint presentation, demonstrations of strategies and anecdotal stories, I will highlight the complex challenges with online proctoring, the unwitting discoveries of academic breaches, and the multifaceted solutions required.  At the end of the formal presentation, an opportunity will be provided for the audience to ask questions, as well as share their experiences.  The outcome will be a collect of best practices on how a crew of professors can both support students and keep academic integrity afloat while navigate the uncharted waters of online proctoring on a vessel from an external company offering remote invigilation services.

Remediation: Understanding Academic Integrity
Authors: Chaudhuri Anita
Published: July 2024

Recent data on academic misconduct shared by some Canadian post-secondary institutions have reported that the numbers have doubled (CBC News, 2020; CTV News Regina, 2021) or increased significantly by up to 38% (UCalgary News, 2020). These instances establish academic integrity as a current and critically important topic for institutions as well as the scholarship of teaching and learning. Discussions in this ethical area of concern focus on ways to convince students “to behave as honest and responsible members of an academic community” (UBC, Academic Honesty and Standards) during an emergency situation (such as, the pandemic) and avoid disciplinary action.
Researchers in academic integrity have noted that it is essential that students are given ample opportunities to understand the concept. In this presentation, we, two undergraduate students and an instructor: (i) share some of the ways in which teaching and learning practices changed in an online composition studies classroom; (ii) discuss how these changes addressed the expectations of academic integrity; and (iii) showcase an example from a university-wide contest on academic integrity as an opportunity to remediate personal understanding of the topic and contribute towards a community service initiative.
Managing Academic Integrity in Canadian Engineering Schools
Authors: DeMontigny David
Published: July 2024

Within the literature a lot of research has been published on academic misconduct, including why students cheat, how they cheat, and what can be done to curb the behavior. Very little research had been done to determine how schools have addressed academic integrity from a management or administrative perspective.  This presentation highlights the work from a book chapter I submitted to a national project on academic integrity in Canadian post-secondary institutions.
This work focused on how engineering schools and the professional engineering regulators were promoting academic integrity and dealing with academic misconduct.   A survey was provided to all 43 Canadian engineering schools and the 12 provincial and territorial engineering regulators.  The survey covered topics related to integrity, misconduct, professionalism, and administrative strategies and procedures.  These results have been put into context with existing literature and potential best practices.
This presentation will be of interest to students, instructors and administrators from all faculties. Students will learn about academic integrity and misconduct from an administrator’s perspective. Instructors will lean how to improve academic integrity in their courses. Administrators will be exposed to broader policy and practice content.
Applied Authentic Assessment in Engineering Technology Courses for Academic Integrity
Authors: Butterworth Carina
Published: July 2024

Teamwork and individual work within the classroom and in the online environment have seen a shift in how students engage in course materials and in how the material has been delivered to the students.  Individualizing projects has become a way to both engage the student and to harness their strengths which results in improved adherence to academic integrity policies.  This presentation will discuss my experience in developing, implementing and creating authentic assessments in my classroom to promote healthy academic integrity activities in the engineering technology discipline; and ending with my reflections and recommendations of the process.  The take home objective for attendees is to adapt new ideas for authentic assessment and develop a process for implementing these assessments within their own classrooms.  It may also appeal to policy creators to see the different ways instructors are adapting their materials for education and engagement, rather than punitive actions.
Academic Integrity and Student Mental Well-Being: A Rapid Review
Authors: Eaton Sarah Elaine , Pethrick Helen , Turner Kristal Louise
Published: July 2024

Despite concerns arising from academic integrity practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders about the relationship between academic integrity (or violations of academic integrity) and student mental well-being (or distress), there is a lack of literature synthesizing available evidence. Particularly, it is unclear about when student mental well-being may be of concern during procedures that concern breaches of academic integrity. Our rapid review identified and analysed scholarly sources (n = 46) to understand the relationship between academic integrity and mental well-being among postsecondary students. Five themes emerged: a) negativity bias; b) inconsistency of definitions; c) paradigmatic tensions; d) focus on external stressors; and e) focus on mental health prior to a critical incident. We propose several calls to action and implications for practice. There is a need to better understand the impact of an alleged or actual academic integrity violation on students’ mental well-being. Practitioners should integrate supports for students’ mental well-being in processes and procedures that uphold academic integrity.

Quizzing Students about their Writing: Implications for Deterring and Detecting Contract Cheating, and Promoting Academic Integrity and Greater Engagement
Authors: Quesnel Matthew , Guderian Robert , Stoesz Brenda
Published: July 2024

Contract cheating is a significant concern in the higher education sector, and a multi-faceted approach focusing on student learning and growth, in addition to deterring and detection cheating, is necessary to address the issue. One way to support student learning is by encouraging active engagement in learning activities and assessments. To this end, we explored the utility Auth+ by Sikanai, an authorship verification platform that auto-generates six multiple-choice questions based on students’ writing submissions and generates scores based on responses to the questions. Auth+ is designed to encourage students to engage in the learning process and to facilitate the detection of potential contract cheating. Auth+ was implemented in a third-year computer science course, and 24 students shared their perceptions of its value for teaching and learning. Only 25% of students agreed that Auth+ would be useful in their studies but 62.5% agreed it would deter contract cheating. We also found an association between Auth+ scores and individual differences in working memory (τB = .391). Our findings suggest that, with further technology development, authorship verification platforms may be useful for promoting academic integrity and deeper engagement in learning at scale. Training educators to interpret the results and use them as part of a multi-faceted strategy for promoting academic integrity and reduce academic misconduct is important.
“It Feels Weird Telling You For Sure”: Ambivalence and Uncertainty about Academic Integrity in International Students’ Self-Reports of Using Paid Academic Support Services
Authors: Heng Hartse Joel
Published: July 2024

This presentation reports on a study that examines some international undergraduate students’ use of  private academic support services (PASS), a growing phenomenon in Canadian higher education in the last decade whose practitioners often advertise to international and/or multilingual students. We situate the use of PASS at the intersection of three constructs: literacy brokering (Curry and Lillis, 2006), contract cheating (Lancaster & Clarke, 2016), and private supplementary tutoring/“shadow education” (Bray, 2008), seeking to understand why some students choose to pay for help with academic work and how they understand the ethics of their choices. 
 
Using a survey (n = 898 international student responses, with ⅔ being self-identified as users of English as an additional language) and semi-structured follow-up interviews (n= 23), this presentation addresses the following research questions: 
 

What is the type and nature of PASS that some students use, and why do they seek such services?
How do students understand the use of PASS in relation to academic integrity?

 
Survey results reveal 30% of participants described using some form of PASS, most commonly “homework help” websites or tutoring. Students described a variety of reasons for seeking PASS, often related to their perceived convenience and/or limited access to other forms of in-time support. Interviews revealed ambivalence about the use of PASS; while some reported feeling PASS were helpful in achieving academic goals, some described feeling uneasy or uncertain about their ethical acceptability or usefulness. We conclude with policy and pedagogical implications for this growing grey area of para-academic support.
Volumetric Reconstruction Of Stagnated Wake Structures In Adverse Pressure Gradient
Authors: Lindner Till Konstantin , Scholz Peter , Breitenstein Wiebke , Michaelis Dirk
Published: July 2024

To gather insights about turbulent structures of a wake in adverse pressure gradient, a wind tunnel model is investigated with PIV methods. A flat plate of L = 1.058 m at zero angle of attack is placed in the MUB wind tunnel at TU Braunschweig. The wake convects downstream into a carefully designed diffuser, where it undergoes a pressure increase of ∆c p = +0.6. Wakes, with the common example of a cylinder shedding van-Karman vortices, are generally prone to instability. The wake instability of the sharp-edged plate is attenuated by the adverse pressure gradient, manifesting in large coherent structures that carry up to 37 % of the turbulent kinetic energy. While the primary shedding motion is effectively a quasi-2D motion, a secondary mode of is also observed: Over the span S = 1.3 m of the wake, it organizes in three distinct cells. Their motion is similar to "owl-eyes", that are known to appear on separated flow over smooth 2D bodies. The presence of these modes reduces the average flow velocity in the wake centre up to stagnation in the mean sense. Because stagnation and shedding does occur far away from any solid surfaces, this test case offers excellent observability of the phenomenon with PIV methods. RANS results of this setup cannot predict the flow stagnation accurately. Because the shedding frequency is low compared to freestream velocity, scale and time resolving IDDES results need to run many convective time units until the observed instability develops. While the original goal of observing small scale turbulent wake structures is compromised by the large shedding modes, the observation gives an insight on wake-bursting phenomena that occur on multi-element high-lift devices. The mode shedding and consequent wake stagnation is sensitive to the Reynolds-number (Re = [1.6 ... 3.2] · 10 6 ) as well as to the initial boundary layer thickness of the flat plate.
Particle Shadow Velocimetry And Its Potential Applications And Advantages Vis-à-Vis Particle Image Velocimetry
Authors: Jassal Gauresh Raj , Song Maxwell , Schmidt Bryan Eric
Published: July 2024

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is an established standard velocimetry technique in experimental fluid mechanics that involves determining a fluid flow velocity field from the motion of tracer particles illuminated by a laser sheet. The necessity of laser illumination poses challenges in certain applications, and is a potential entry barrier due to its complexity and high cost. A laser-free alternative to PIV is particle shadow velocimetry (PSV), which uses images of the shadows cast by the particles on the camera sensor under back-illumination, instead of the Mie scattering signal produced by laser illumination. This study aims to compare various aspects of PSV such as depth of field, seeding density, type of illumination required, particle size, image filtering, cost effectiveness, and limitations with those of PIV. PSV and PIV measurements are conducted in the wake of a flow past a cylinder and in a boundary layer developing over a flat plate. It is found that PSV is capable of achieving equivalent accuracy to PIV and is a viable alternative to PIV in certain applications where light sheet illumination creates experimental challenges.
Large-Scale Side By Side Stereo-PIV Measurements In An Automotive Wind Tunnel: Aerodynamic Influence Of Ride Height Variations.
Authors: Erdogdu Ahmed Oguzhan , Hüttig Steffen , Alfaro Juan Camilo Londono , Gericke Timo , Schröder Andreas
Published: July 2024

In this investigation, we conducted large-scale Stereo PIV experiments in the flow around a Volkswagen ID.4. within the Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Wind Tunnel (AAK) at Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg. The primary objective of these experiments was to investigate the effects of ride height variation on the near wake of the passenger vehicle using Stereo PIV, while minimizing wind tunnel occupancy. The measurements aimed to create datasets for CFD validation to improve virtual aerodynamic development capabilities of passenger vehicles. The experiment was performed on a 1:1 scale vehicle and multiple cross-sectional planes were scanned along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The impact of ride height alterations on the wake flow topology were evaluated. Average velocity vector fields were computed per case, providing comprehensive insights into the aerodynamic effects of diverse vehicle setups. A small change in the ride height has shown to have a significant impact on the wake topology. The results show that the electric SUV ID.4 can yield a wake topology similar to the estate back and fast/notchback type of vehicle, depending on the ride height. The normal ride height of the ID.4 shows to have a broader but lower wake region, with a significant downwash. The PIV results of this configuration show significant similarities to the wake topology of a fast back vehicle. Lowering the ride height by 15 mm has shown already to be enough to cause a global effect on the wake topology and to exhibit a narrower wake and recirculation region, like an estate back vehicle. Additionally, the association between the drag/lift coefficients and the wake topology of both configurations was discussed. Results have shown that sole measurements in the wake are not sufficient to fully explain changes in the determined drag or front lift coefficients. The rear lift coefficients however, indicate a stronger relationship with the near wake topology of the vehicle.
EMPLOYEE PAYROLL DATA ANALYSIS USING MACHINE LEARNING

Published: July 2024

Every company is using machine learning to predict their employees' working styles and competence by estimating how long it will take them to complete a task. The effectiveness of various classification algorithms for predicting employee salary classes has been the subject of numerous recent studies. Salary prediction appears to be a challenging endeavor from the perspective of machine learning because of the low sample size, relatively high dimensionality, and presence of noise. Deeper architectures are required to address this and locate more useful features. Also, more information investigation and information handling can be commonsense to make the forecast model go past the relationship and accuracy guidelines by highlight extraction methods.
Joining Hands - Knowledge and Attitudes of Oncology nurses, of Occupational Therapy Role and Integration into Palliative Care
Authors: Kislev Neta , Usishkin Bibas Yarden , Ben Atiya Michal , Tagansky Arzi Ariel , Bar-Haim Erez Asnat
Published: July 2024

Background. Palliative care represents a therapeutic approach designed to mitigate suffering and enhance the quality of life for patients and their families. The profession of occupational therapy (OT) plays a distinctive role in palliative care, as underscored by the Israeli National Palliative Program's call for the integration of OTs within the multi-professional team. To effectively realize this integration, team members, including nurses, should enhance their understanding of the potential contributions of OT and foster a positive attitude towards its inclusion in palliative care. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge among oncology nurses, regarding the OT profession, their attitudes regarding its integration into palliative care and the correlation between them. Method. An online 'knowledge and attitude' questionnaire was developed specifically for this study and completed by 89 oncology nurses (all women). Results. The findings revealed that the oncology nurses exhibited a high level of knowledge about the OT profession (M=10.51, SD=2.21, in the range of grades 1-14). Regarding their attitudes, it was observed that they acknowledged the significance of integrating OT into palliative care, though, in practice, they did not act accordingly with this belief. In addition, a positive correlation was found between the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of the position. The study did not uncover significant relationship between the nurses' level of knowledge about OT and their attitudes towards its integration. Conclusions and Recommendations. Despite the oncology nurses' commendable knowledge and positive perception of OT's integration into treatment, their actions in practice did not consistently align with these views. Consequently, fostering increased collaboration between the professions of OT and nursing within palliative care is imperative, with particular focus on education, research, policy, and clinical implementation. Additionally, it is recommended to actively promote and implement the recommendations outlined in the Israeli National Program for Palliative Care concerning the integration of OT as an integral part of the multi-professional team. This concerted effort will not only enhance patient care but also reinforce the efficacy of the palliative care approach.

FORMATION OF LOGICAL UNIVERSAL ACTIONS AMONG YOUNGER STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS
Authors: kizi Asadova Shahlo Saidjon ,   Gulistan State University Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences 3rd year student, Uzbekistan
Published: July 2024

The state educational standard of primary general education is based on the concept of the formation of universal educational activities. Logical actions belong to one of the types of universal learning activities. Their formation is an important component of the work of primary school teachers, since logical operations contribute to the development of an active cognitive position in younger schoolchildren. People with logical thinking are able to solve the problems that arise in front of them. In elementary school, the subject of mathematics has the greatest opportunity for the formation of logical actions. In order for this process to be successful, teachers must comply with a number of conditions when preparing and conducting math lessons. In the lessons, it is important to organize "logical five minutes", select variable tasks and ensure a change of student activities. It is important to take into account the age characteristics of children, all tasks should be selected in accordance with the capabilities of younger students. Such work increases the effectiveness of the educational process. Students become active and interested in acquiring new knowledge that they can apply both in educational activities and in real life. This is the universality of logical actions. This article describes in detail the features of the work on the formation of logical actions in younger schoolchildren in mathematics lessons.

Reescritura bíblica y sátira político-social en El Mesías de Leopoldo Marechal
Authors: Torbidoni Juan
Published: July 2024

Este artículo presenta el primer estudio académico dedicado a El Mesías, obra de teatro inédita del escritor argentino Leopoldo Marechal (1900-1970). El manuscrito está compuesto de un prólogo y cinco cuadros, en los cuales el autor reescribe, en clave de sátira político-social, la Pasión de Jesucristo según el relato de los evangelios. Escrita hacia mediados de la década de 1960, la pieza reúne una multitud de elementos tomados de un amplio archivo, que va desde la tradición judeocristiana, pasando por el clasicismo grecolatino, hasta la cosmología de René Guénon. Este estudio presenta y analiza El Mesías como una conjunción de parodia y espiritualidad, que rompe con la solemnidad habitual asociada a la temática religiosa y que implementa el anacronismo como dispositivo de disrupción. Basándose en el mito de las Cuatro Edades de Hesíodo, Marechal propone una visión de la historia occidental a contrapelo de la idea de progreso, proveniente tanto de la narrativa científica post-ilustrada, como de la confianza ciega en el avance socio-cultural de la civilización occidental.

En cuidados paliativos, la comunicación asertiva al dar malas noticias incide en la manera de afrontar la situación. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la comunicación asertiva de malas noticias en pacientes y familiares de cuidados paliativos. La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó en 5 bases de datos: PubMed, DialNet, SciELO, Elsiever y Redalyc. Los resultados mostraron que: Los pacientes quieren conocer sus diagnósticos. Una información oportuna y asertiva, reduce síntomas físicos y psicológicos, permitiéndoles tomar decisiones informadas sobre su tratamiento, pronóstico y el futuro familiar. Las principales barreras de la comunicación son: escaso tiempo, espacio y forma de transmitir el mensaje, colapso de servicios, pedidos de no divulgación y la falta de preparación. Se concluyó que la comunicación de malas noticias debe ser empática, honesta y asertiva, asegurando que se ha comprendido lo informado y buscando efectos positivos en el paciente, la familia y los profesionales.

O trabalho analisa a viabilidade técnica econômica da aplicação de chapas de alumínio anodizado, no lugar de espelhos de vidro, no campo solar de plantas heliotérmicas de cilindro parabólico. Avalia-se a adaptação desta tecnologia para o caso brasileiro. A partir da análise qualitativa das especificações técnicas dos dois tipos de refletores, e das simulações realizadas no SAM, é possível concluir que os sistemas com refletores de vidro têm melhores propriedades do que os espelhos de alumínio, porém, desde o ponto de vista Econômico, os espelhos de alumínio permitiriam atingir viabilidade econômica a projetos que operam em faixas de temperatura média.

Os solos nas regiões semiáridas geralmente apresentam baixos níveis de matéria orgânica, devido a factores pedogenéticos do solo, e é notável que a aplicação de fertilizantes orgânicos ao solo aumenta a sua fertilidade e o rendimento das culturas. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos da adubação orgânica do solo nos atributos químicos de um Neossolo Flúvico e na produtividade do quiabeiro em dois ciclos de cultivo. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em blocos casualizados no esquema fatorial 5 x 2, referente a cinco doses de esterco bovino com relação C/N de 18:1 para aumentar o teor de matéria orgânica no solo de 1,8% para 2,8; 3,8; 4,8 e 5,8% e dois ciclos de cultivo (1º e 2º ciclos) com quatro repetições. As variáveis ​​analisadas foram pH do solo, P, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ no solo, S.O.M e produtividade de quiabo. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância por meio do teste F para verificar a homogeneidade entre os resíduos. Posteriormente, foi realizada análise conjunta para diagnosticar efeitos significativos por meio do teste F e regressões lineares e polinomiais foram aplicadas para desdobrar o S.O.M em um ciclo. A adubação orgânica com esterco bovino aumentou os teores de P, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ e matéria orgânica do solo (S.O.M) e a produtividade dos frutos comerciais de quiabo.

O período formativo (cerca de 4.000 a 2.000 AP) no continente americano foi caracterizado por ocupações humanas ao longo da costa, rios, lagos, e nos interflúvios das terras altas. No Brasil, existe agora uma tendência de negar a existência do Formativo devido a um suposto vazio popular amazônico neste período. Os estudos nas estearias da Baixada Maranhense, juntamente com investigações anteriores em outras partes do Brasil, sugerem que o Formativo certamente existiu e mostram que estes sítios possivelmente foram a última fronteira do Formativo na Amazônia em sua porção oriental. Ademais, sugere-se uma nova fase para a Tradição Borda Incisa nas estearias.
A virtude e o vício como fatores concorrentes do interesse público
Authors: Bige Garcia Matondo Vita
Published: July 2024

O artigo explora a relação intrincada entre virtude, vício e interesse público, com base na obra "Fábula das abelhas ou Vícios privados, benefícios públicos" de Mandeville, investigando as origens das sociedades a partir das necessidades individuais e sua complexidade. Pensadores como Platão, Aristóteles, Hume, Smith, Dumont, Rawls e Manzoni revelam a predominância das necessidades materiais sobre as relações sociais na sociedade contemporânea, enfatizando a importância da educação e do altruísmo para o bem comum. A metodologia incluiu a leitura atenta das obras mencionadas, buscando compreender a competição entre virtude e vício no interesse público. O objetivo foi analisar essa dinâmica na sociedade atual, considerando diferentes perspectivas filosóficas e desafios éticos. O problema central abordou a relação entre o homem, bens materiais e relações pessoais, evidenciando a mudança de paradigma entre antigos e modernos. Mandeville vê a virtude como algo que, de forma intrigante, resulta em benefícios sociais indiretos a partir de vícios privados, enfatizando a complexidade moral das relações sociais e o custo da justiça na busca contínua pela igualdade.

A vulnerabilidade de pessoas em situação de rualização é constituída como um processo social multifatorial e multidimensional, resultando na utilização da rua como espaço de sobrevivência e/ou moradia e como referência identitária. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a vulnerabilidade programática e barreiras às pessoas em situação de rua para garantia do acesso aos serviços de saúde. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, pautado no referencial teórico da vulnerabilidade, realizado em Grupos Focais. Participaram do estudo 16 homens rualizados, a maioria referiu o uso de bebida alcoólica, exclusivamente ou associada a outras drogas, principalmente tabaco e maconha. O estudo identificou situação de alta vulnerabilidade nas dimensões programática, social e individual das pessoas rualizadas. Ausência de trabalho e renda, estigma/discriminação, baixo acesso aos serviços de saúde e utilização de serviços de atenção às urgências em detrimento aos da atenção primária em saúde, tornam as pessoas em situação de rualização socialmente vulneráveis. Essa situação realça as dificuldades e limitações dos serviços de atendimento e proteção às pessoas em situação de rua, e demonstra a inerente complexidade desse problema, que exige uma abordagem interdisciplinar e humanista.

Published: July 2024

The surface treatment of single-crystal germanium with an argon cluster ion beam has been investigated.
The initial surface of germanium wafers was bombarded by argon cluster ions with high (105 eV/atom)
and low (10 eV/atom) specific energy. Using an atomic force microscope, images were obtained and the
surface topography was compared before and after cluster ion bombardment. Using the power spectral
density function of roughness, surface smoothing is demonstrated in the range of spatial frequencies:
1) ν = 1 − 8 µm−1 — for the high-energy mode; 2) ν = 0.7 − 2.5 µm−1 — for low-energy mode.
