Os fundos constitucionais de financiamentos existentes no Brasil são programas de financiamentos cuja missão é promover a redução das desigualdades socioeconômicas entre as diversas regiões brasileiras e contribuir para o desenvolvimento harmônico do País. O Fundo Constitucional de Financiamentos do Centro-Oeste do Brasil (FCO) é o programa de financiamentos para o Centro-Oeste brasileiro, com a finalidade de minimizar as desigualdades dessa região em relação às demais regiões do Brasil. Promover a geração de emprego e renda através da aplicação de recursos desse fundo é uma das maneiras de reduzir essas desigualdades. Poder prever o número de empregos a serem gerados com a aplicação de determinado recurso é muito importante aos gestores do fundo. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de usar conceitos de Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA) na previsão da geração de empregos formais nos principais setores da economia sul-mato-grossense – a Agropecuária, a Indústria e o Turismo, Comércio e Serviços – com a aplicação de recursos do FCO. Concluiu-se que, no período considerado, o FCO gerou empregos formais diretos e indiretos nesses três setores, com destaque para o Turismo, Comércio e Serviços, e menores números de empregos gerados na Agropecuária e na Indústria.

Published: September 2024

Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAFs) são formas de uso da terra em que árvores são utilizadas de maneira integrada com a lavoura e/ou com a pecuária em uma mesma área e permitindo, muitas vezes, a recuperação de áreas degradadas. Este artigo avalia a evolução e a distribuição espacial dos estabelecimentos agropecuários que adotam Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAFs) no Brasil. Para tanto, alguns arcabouços analíticos e metodológicos da Nova Geografia Econômica são utilizados, conjuntamente com os dados dos Censos Agropecuários. Constata-se que, entre 2006 e 2017, ocorreram aumentos de 60,43% e de 66,70%, respectivamente, no número e na área dos estabelecimentos agropecuários que adotam SAFs no Brasil. Mas tal evolução foi diferenciada entre agricultura familiar e não familiar e entre as regiões brasileiras. Há a formação de clusters entre os municípios brasileiros no uso de SAFs, mas são clusters distintos segundo as regiões do Brasil e que modificam suas dimensões entre 2006 e 2017.

O território Matopiba tem forte potencial produtivo voltado ao agronegócio. Todavia, entendendo o Desenvolvimento Rural (DR) como o resultado de transformações não restritas ao paradigma produtivista e não limitadas ao setor agropecuário, mas relacionadas às questões amplas do espaço, este trabalho tem por objetivo geral construir índices e analisar as bases (condicionantes, características e efeitos) que formam o desenvolvimento rural. Para tanto, utilizando dados secundários dos 337 municípios do Matopiba, extraídos de diferentes fontes, como a Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS) e o Censo Agropecuário de 2017, foi estimada a Análise Fatorial (AF) no intuito de resumir as dezenas de variáveis em poucos fatores. Por fim, a partir dos escores fatoriais, foi estimado índice por base do desenvolvimento rural. Os resultados obtidos apontam que o território apresenta heterogeneidade entre os municípios na quase totalidade das variáveis e muitos municípios agrupados nas faixas de médio DR. Para alcançar melhor DR, torna-se necessário reduzir as heterogeneidades entre municípios e produtores, de forma que todos, inclusive os agricultores familiares, ampliem as acessibilidades capazes de criar e qualificar a sua capacidade produtiva e de bem-estar.

A Deep Reinforcement-Based Anomaly Intrusion Detection for Enhancing Network Cybersecurity
Authors: Mohammed Tuaama Maytham
Published: September 2024

Conventional protection methods, such as rules-based firewalls and signature-based detection, are not cutting it in today's environment of increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyberattacks. Cyberattacks nowadays are extremely dynamic and complex, calling for cutting-edge solutions that can change and adapt as the threat does. DRL is an AI subfield that has been successfully addressing difficult decision-making challenges in several fields, including cybersecurity. Here, we make a step forward by using a DRL framework to model cyberattacks; by incorporating real-world events, we make the models more realistic and applicable. We provide a customized approach that greatly improves existing approaches by carefully tailoring DRL (deep reinforcement algorithms to the complex needs of cybersecurity situations, including adversarial training, dynamic environments, bespoke structure of reward and actions, and more.
In this study, we provide an anomaly detection method to detect attacks on network CPS using Deep Reinforcement Learning. Our proposed methodology was tested using several publicly available research datasets to ensure its efficacy.

এ নিবন্ধের দুটি ভাগ : প্রথমটি একটি-দুটি পরিভাষাকে সুনির্দিষ্ট করার লক্ষ্য নিয়ে, এর ১ থেকে ৪ অংশ পর্যন্ত বিস্তারিত। পরিভাষা দুটি হল ‘ভাষা' এবং ‘মাতৃভাষা’। আর দ্বিতীয় অংশটি ‘মাতৃভাষা’র মাধ্যমে শিক্ষাকে কতদূর বিস্তারিত করা যায় সে বিষয়ে জল্পনা। আপাতত অলস জল্পনা বলে মনে হতে পারে, কিন্তু উপনিবেশের শিক্ষাপ্রণালী ও তার অভ্যাস থেকে একটি পৃথক পথ সন্ধানের প্রয়াস হিসেবে একে দেখা যেতে পারে । প্রথম বিষয়টি প্রায় দুশো বছর ধরে বহুচর্চিত, কাজেই এ প্রশ্ন উঠতেই পারে যে, এ নিয়ে নতুন আর কী বলা সম্ভব। দ্বিতীয়ত, এই পরিভাষা-পরিমার্জনা কি এতই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ? আমরা মনে করি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। আবার তত্ত্বের দিক থেকে এও আমরা জানি যে, এ প্রশ্ন তখনই ওঠে, যখন আমরা ধরে নিই যে ব্যবস্থা এখন চলছে তা সব ঠিকঠাকই আছে, অনেক দিনের ভাবনাচিন্তার ফলে একটা ব্যবস্থায় পৌঁছানো গেছে, তাতে আর নাড়াচাড়া দেওয়ার দরকার নেই। আমাদের উপনিবেশযাপনের সময় আমাদের শিরোনামের প্রশ্নটা জরুরি ছিল, কারণ ঔপনিবেশিকদের ভাষা আমাদের ভাষাকে সরিয়ে ‘রাজভাষা' হয়ে বসেছিল, আর রাজভাষা হলেই তাকে অনিবার্যতই শিক্ষাতে একটা আধিপত্যপূর্ণ স্থান দিতে হবে, নইলে রাজকর্ম পাওয়া দুষ্কর হবে। তাই ১৮৩৫ সালের ২ ফেব্রুয়ারি টমাস ব্যাবিংটন মেকলের ইংরেজি-শাসিত শিক্ষানীতি প্রচারিত হল, এবং দক্ষিণ এশিয়া অঞ্চলের শিক্ষার ইতিহাস যাঁরা চর্চা করেন তাঁরা জানেন, নানা পরিবর্তনের পর তার সার কাঠামো এই দাঁড়াল যে, ‘মাতৃভাষা’কে বাহন করে তার সরকারি আয়োজনে তার স্কুল ও কলেজ স্তরের কিছু বিষয় পড়ানো হয়, হয়তো বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে মানবিক বিদ্যার বিষয়গুলিতেও ‘মাতৃভাষা’য় পরীক্ষা দেওয়া যায়। পরীক্ষা দেওয়া যায় আর ক্লাসে ‘মাতৃভাষা' ব্যবহার করে পড়ানো হয় – এই দুই ঘটনা এক সঙ্গে চলে এমন নাও হতে পারে। কিন্তু, বিজ্ঞান, প্রযুক্তি, ডাক্তারি, ব্যবসায়-পরিচালনা, আইন ইত্যাদি বিষয়ে আমাদের উচ্চতর স্তরের পড়াশোনা মূলত ইংরেজির মাধ্যমেই করতে হয়। প্রাথমিক স্তরে শি-মাতৃভাষার (পরে দেখুন) কিছু ভূমিকা ছিল বটে, বিশেষত ১৮৫৪ সালে উইলিয়াম অ্যাডামের সুপারিশে তার ওপর গুরুত্ব দেওয়া হয়েছিল। কিন্তু দেশের শিক্ষানীতিতে তার প্রভাব ছিল নগণ্য। কচরু জানাচ্ছেন, “ By 1882, over 60 per cent of primary schools were imparting education through English. পরে অবশ্য এই অবস্থাটা একটু বদলেছে।

১৮৯১ সালে হিতবাদী পত্রিকায় টানা-প্রকাশিত ছয়টি গল্পের মধ্য দিয়ে বাংলা ছোটগল্পের ‘প্রকৃত' সূচনা হয়েছে বলে বাংলা সাহিত্যের ঐতিহাসিক-সমালোচক মহলে মতৈক্য আছে। ‘পোস্টমাস্টার' ওই ছয় গল্পের একটি। গল্প-বলার কার্যকর কলাকৌশল আবিষ্কার, প্রকৃতিকে বিষয় ও কলার অঙ্গীভূত করে-নেয়ার সামর্থ্য, এবং আবেগ ও অনুভূতির সুগভীর ব্যঞ্জনা – প্রধানত এ তিন দিক থেকে সমালোচক-ভাষ্যকারগণ গল্পটি নিয়ে উচ্ছ্বাস দেখিয়েছেন। আগের এসব পাঠ ও বিশ্লেষণকে আমরা তিনটি কাজ-চলতি ভাগে ভাগ করতে পারি।

ব্রিটিশ ঔপনিবেশিক আমল থেকে স্বাধিকার সংগ্রামে অংশগ্রহণ করে অখণ্ড ভারতে অনেক বিপ্লবী শহিদ হয়েছেন। বিশ শতকের ২০-এর দশকে এ সংগ্রাম হয়ে ওঠে অপ্রতিরোধ্য। পরাজিত হয় ঔপনিবেশিক ইংরেজ। ১৯৪৭-এর দেশভাগে নতুন রাষ্ট্রের অভ্যুদয় ঘটে পাকিস্তান ও ভারত। দ্বিজাতিতত্ত্বের ভিত্তিতে এই বিভাজনে হুমকির মুখে পড়ে পাকিস্তানের পূর্ব অংশের মানুষের জীবনাদর্শ। এ আদর্শ বাঙালি এবং আরও অনেক নৃগোষ্ঠীর অসাম্প্রদায়িক জীবনচর্চায় এক পরিসুত রূপ লাভ করেছে হাজার বছরের পথ-পরিক্রমায়। তাই ধর্মভিত্তিক পাকিস্তান রাষ্ট্রের সঙ্গে এদেশের সংঘর্ষ ছিল অনিবার্য। ফলে অনেক সংগ্রামের পর অনিবার্য হয়ে ওঠে ১৯৭১- এর মুক্তিযুদ্ধ। বিশ্বের মানচিত্রে বিধৃত হয় নতুন স্বাধীন সার্বভৌম রাষ্ট্র বাংলাদেশ। এ রাষ্ট্রের ভিত্তিমূলে স্বভাবতই ধর্ম নয়, অসাম্প্রদায়িকতা অন্যতম প্রধান গুরুত্ব পায়। শিল্পসৃষ্টির কার্যকারণ সূত্র অন্বেষণের জন্য ইতিহাসের এই সংক্ষিপ্ত-পাঠ সংগত বলে বিবেচনা করা যেতে পারে। কারণ স্বাদেশিক চেতনা ও স্বাধিকার চেতনা থেকে এই উপমহাদেশে শিল্পচর্চার পালাবদল ঘটেছে এবং জন্ম নিয়েছে নতুন সৃষ্টি। ঔপনিবেশিক ব্রিটিশ দুঃশাসনের বিরুদ্ধে লড়াই করে যারা আত্মদান করেছিলেন তাদের অবদান কীর্তিত করার জন্যই মূর্তিভাস্কর্যে সমৃদ্ধ ভারতীয় সভ্যতা সেক্যুলার বা অসাম্প্রদায়িক চেতনাজাত ভাস্কর্য নির্মাণ করে এ শিল্পে নতুন মাত্রা সংযোজন করে। ব্রিটিশবিরোধী আন্দোলনের ভরকেন্দ্র ছিল কলিকাতা শহর এবং এ আন্দোলনে যে নেতৃবৃন্দ ও বিপ্লবীরা জীবন-পণ সংগ্রাম করেছেন – মৃত্যুবরণ করেছেন – তাদের ত্যাগের মহিমা কীর্তিত করার জন্য কলিকাতা শহরে নির্মিত হয় সবচেয়ে বেশি সংখ্যক স্মৃতি-ভাস্কর্য (monumental sculpture )। ধর্মকেন্দ্রিক পাকিস্তান রাষ্ট্রের দুষ্টনীতির বিরুদ্ধে এ দেশের অসাম্প্রদায়িক জীবন-ভাবনার মানুষের লড়াই ছিল অনিবার্য। যে লড়াই বিশেষ গতি পায় ১৯৫২-র ভাষা আন্দোলনে। এ আন্দোলনে যারা মৃত্যুবরণ করেন তাদের স্মৃতিকে শ্রদ্ধা জানানোর জন্য নির্মিত হয় শহিদ মিনার।

The method used in this activity is divided into three stages: material presentation, discussion/Q&A, demonstration and hands-on practice, and evaluation. The results of this activity show a positive response from the community regarding land efficiency, water conservation, and improved environmental aesthetics. The community also recognized that utilizing limited land around their homes can increase food production, thereby improving the welfare of the residents of Sendangrejo Village.
America Has Fallen: Critical Race Theory & Low-Intensity Conflict
Authors: Baker Biff
Published: September 2024

This article aims to enlighten the business community on socio-political theory, specifically Critical Theory (CT) and Critical Race Theory (CRT), which evolved from Marxist principles. While CT focuses on economics, CRT applies a Marxist lens to race, gender, and intersectionality. The research discussion transitions from theory to application of Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) as defined by U.S. military doctrine. LIC Phase 1 involves organizing, educating, and infiltrating government; Phase 2 includes initiating low level violence and propaganda, expanding to insurrection and guerrilla attacks, and consolidating power through increased attacks and political activities. With Phases 1 and 2 completed, Phase 3 was initiated with an attempted assassination of former President Trump, and is exacerbated by unchecked immigration of military-aged men and fentanyl proliferation. This study advocates for counter-insurgency measures and emphasizes the urgent need for politicians to uphold their constitutional oaths and safeguard the nation.
Impacts on Firm Productivity by Retaining Worker Knowledge and Capacity Through Disability Management Programs
Authors: Annett Mike
Published: September 2024

Helping employees return to work following an injury or illness is a moral imperative, and usually a legal requirement, but is it economically beneficial to the firm? While there is intuitive awareness that disability management programs can be economically beneficial, particularly by retaining and resecuring the knowledge and capacity of employees, there is limited evidence to support that claim. The literature lacks insight into the logic and mechanisms through which disability management programs are economically beneficial. To provide such insight, this study undertakes an exploratory analysis of disability management programs concerning productivity as a firm-level performance factor. The data is sourced from a Canadian national database statistically representing more than 650,000 firms. The findings indicate there are differential impacts of disability management programs on firm productivity and this relationship is moderated by business strategy.

Since being proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, the "One Belt and One Road (OBOR)" major initiative has been highly regarded by the international community, has responded positively to the relevant countries, and has become a Chinese national strategy. The vision and action documents for constructing "One Belt and One Road" have been formulated and written into relevant resolutions and documents of the UN Security Council. The "One Belt and One Road" initiative has actively responded to and participated worldwide in recent years. Noteworthy progress has been made in transforming the concept of "One Belt and One Road" from the vision to the real action. Compared with several significant plans in the history of world economic development, pushing forward the construction of "One Belt and One Road" has its characteristics and uniqueness. The goal of promoting the "One Belt and One Road" construction is to open wider to the outside world through promoting and further deepening reform, to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with other developed and developing countries, and to build a community of human destiny.

It is more significant to identify accurate grant opportunities given the increasing challenges in securing grants these days. Combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, we have developed Research Highlighter-MatchMaker to facilitate the grant application process. The tool aims to provide an overview of research strength and to recommend matched funding opportunities as well as potential collaborators for researchers based on their research track records. It has the potential to expand to provide matching for on-campus researchers and industrial partners. It will also include a chatbot to facilitate the research administration infrastructure and process on campus.
