“O reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens”: análise de Mt 25,1-13
Authors: Gonzaga Waldecir , Araújo Filipe Henrique de
Published: September 2024

A perícope Mt 25,1-13, das dez virgens, é um dos textos mais comentados do Primeiro Evangelho. Em geral, não se questiona sua unidade textual e esse é um dos poucos consensos entre os pesquisadores quanto a esta perícope. A discussão acerca de seu gênero literário contrapõe aqueles que o defendem como parábola àqueles que o consideram uma alegoria. Esta definição não é meramente uma formalidade, pois influencia diretamente as possibilidades hermenêuticas possíveis para este texto. Desse modo, esse artigo debruça-se na história da interpretação de Mt 25,1-13. Para isso, é oferecida uma segmentação e tradução do texto, notas de crítica textual, a crítica da forma e a crítica do gênero literário. Em seguida, é desenvolvido um comentário exegético a partir dos principais vocábulos da perícope de Mt 25,1-13. Por fim, é apresentada a história da interpretação da perícope proposta. A metodologia utilizada é o Método Histórico-Crítico e a pesquisa bibliográfica. Neste sentido, o artigo demonstra que a definição de um gênero literário não implica, necessariamente, na inexistência de elementos de um outro gênero literário em um mesmo texto. Com isso, a perícope de Mt 25,1-13, enquanto obra aberta, é contemplada em sua polissemia, obviamente, sem arbitrariedades, mas dentro dos limites interpretativos impostos pelo próprio texto.
A cura da Sogra de Pedro, em Mc 1,29-31, como paradigma da “igreja em saída”
Authors: Garcia Cézar Augusto , Perondi Ildo
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a perícope da “cura da sogra de Pedro” (Mc 1,29-31) como paradigma para o conceito de “igreja em saída”, baseado nos gestos e ações de Jesus na primeira cura no evangelho mais antigo. Encontramos, no relato da cura sogra de Pedro, como Jesus, tendo saído da sinagoga de Cafarnaum, foi até a casa da sogra de Pedro e encontrou-a prostrada de febre e, no gesto de aproximar-se e tocar a sua mão, levantou-a imediatamente, e como depois a sogra se pôs a servi-los. Queremos, por meio do método histórico crítico, verificar o significado das curas e exorcismos na missão do Jesus histórico junto ao significado simbólico, como ações estratégicas da missão de Jesus no anúncio e na atuação como Reino de Deus. Pelas ações dos personagens, os discípulos e Jesus, na interação com a sogra de Pedro que estava acamada, objetivamos encontrar o significado de seguimento e discipulado. Como ações de Jesus numa casa, compreendemos que a aproximação e o toque são sinais da acolhida de Jesus no ambiente específico da Galileia. Levantar e servir são ações interpretadas em chave hermenêutica como atualização em palavras e atitudes a uma prática pastoral de igreja em saída.
Arte, arquitetura e arqueologia do Antigo Oriente Próximo no debate contemporâneo e o problema da produção artística no Levante Sul - Parte 2
Authors: Miranda Filho Francisco Marques
Published: September 2024

O debate contemporâneo sobre o reconhecimento de que se produziu arte e arquitetura sofisticadas no Antigo Oriente Próximo alcançou um nível de maturidade investigativa, usando as ferramentas da arqueologia, mas também da estética, semiótica, história, entre outras. Dessa forma, os estudiosos concluíram que a arte mesopotâmica possui a mesma grandiosidade da egípcia e da grega. Apesar disso, parte da região que compõe o Antigo Oriente Próximo foi considerada periférica na comparação ao mundo mesopotâmico. O Levante Sul, lugar onde a maior parte da narrativa bíblica aconteceu se encontra nessa situação e é considerado periférico, não apenas na arte, mas também na arquitetura. Aderir a essa tese sem questioná-la é desconsiderar que as mesmas ferramentas usadas para classificar a arte mesopotâmica podem ser instrumentos de leitura crítica da arte levantina, considerando suas características peculiares, ainda que em menor proporção numérica e qualitativa. Não se pode relegar à minoridade periférica qualquer produção artística. A segunda parte deste artigo trata da classificação da arte levantina como periférica e das possibilidades que se abrem ao aplicarmos outras ferramentas críticas para uma releitura.

Authors: Bham Shireen Qassim , Munaver Sagheera Anjum , Akhter Aliya Nasim , Shaheen Najma
Published: September 2024

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, being the most common cause of admission in the neonatal period, remains a global burden, especially in low- and middle-income nations. Addressing the mother's risk factors for neonatal jaundice was crucial for delivering better neonatal healthcare. One possible risk factor for newborn hyperbilirubinemia was maternal iron supplementation. Objective: To analyze the effect of maternal iron supplementation as a risk factor for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, using convenience sampling women with prenatal appointments during the first trimester of their pregnancies were evaluated and placed on therapeutic and prophylactic iron supplementation. Women were grouped on basis of serum ferritin level. Injectable Iron were given to women not improving with oral iron. The primary outcome was proportion of neonates developing hyperbilirubinemia during the first week of life. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23.0. Normality of the data was checked by Shapiro-Wilk test. Chi-squared test was applied to compare variables between groups. Regression analysis was conducted to find the association between maternal iron supplementation and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Results: A sample of 176 mothers participated in the study. The overall frequency of newborn hyperbilirubinemia was 50.6%. The odds of having hyperbilirubinemia were 5.5 times higher with injectable iron. (aOR 5.5 95%CI:1.36-22.33).  Conclusion: The outcome highlighted the potential connection between the iron supplementation of the mother during pregnancy and the development of neonatal jaundice suggesting the need to exercise early intervention in pregnant mothers who were at high risk of newborn jaundice
Major considerations on the relationship of triple negative breast cancer with microRNAs and nutrological triggers: a systematic review
Authors: Ribeiro Márcio do Nascimento , Ribeiro Marla Mayara da Silva Nascimento
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15% of all cases. Its incidence is usually higher in young women (under 40 years of age). The classification as triple-negative occurs because, in this case, there are no estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, which are responsible for controlling tumor growth. Higher levels of physical activity and better diet quality are associated with lower mortality from breast cancer in observational studies. Furthermore, physical activity and optimal nutrition can improve the relative dose intensity of chemotherapy, as they can activate miRNAs that regulate several biological processes. Objective: This was to conduct a systematic review to establish the main considerations of the relationship between triple-negative breast cancer and microRNAs as biomarkers and regulators of gene expression in cancer cells, as well as to show some nutritional triggers of microRNA activation desirable for breast cancer control. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was conducted from April to June 2024 in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE and AMSTAR-2 instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed appropriately. According to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 112 articles were found, and 40 were evaluated in full and included in this article, 22 of which were included in the systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the global assessment resulted in 15 studies with a high risk of bias and 25 studies that did not reach GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=81.5%>50%. It was concluded that an increasing number of studies have shown that non-coding RNA (ncRNA), including microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), play a significant role in tumorigenesis. Although a diet and exercise intervention did not affect relative dose intensity, the intervention was associated with a higher pCR in patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative and triple-negative breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. High expression levels of miR-27a/b, miR-210, and miR-454 were associated with shorter overall survival, whereas high expression levels of miR-454 and miR-374a/b were associated with disease-free survival. The miRNAs associated with triple-negative breast cancer may provide new avenues for early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Furthermore, specific miRNAs may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers in triple-negative breast cancer.
Performing Form: A Dialogue between Performance and Analysis
Authors: Collins Rice Hugh , Napolitano Pina
Published: September 2024

What happens when a pianist who is not a trained musicologist, and a composer with a background in musical analysis, discuss the piano music of Schoenberg? In this article, Pina Napolitano and Hugh Collins Rice explore that dialogue.  
Their main focus is the Klavierstück Op.33b.  They discuss the relationship between the performance and analysis of key passages, and their impact on the perception of form. From this discussion moves to Op.33a and three of the Op.23 Klavierstücke.
The authors discover analysis and performance to provide intriguingly complementary and enriching perspectives.  Passages which had clear analytical explanations were often problematic in performance; conversely music which was difficult to interpret analytically could be entirely natural for the performer.  The authors conclude that these differences are not problematic, but combine to enhance their respective experiences of the music.
The Effect of Infrastructure Development on Poverty Alleviation in a Developing Economy: An Empirical Study from Nigeria
Authors: Moneme Patrick Chigozie , Okpara Itiri Idam , Onuaja Ogbonnaya Abraham , Mayowa Martin-Anthony Hannah
Published: September 2024

The study examines the effect of infrastructure development on poverty alleviation in Nigeria from 1999 to 2022, focussing on key infrastructure facilities such as transportation, energy, water, sanitation, and telecommunications. The objective of this study was to empirically ascertain the influence of these indicators in reducing poverty level in Nigeria using statistical and econometric methods such as Pearson correlation and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. In addition, the researchers carried out a robust check on the outcomes of the study using the ARDL model, considering the principal components factor (PCA) of transport, energy, water and sanitation, and telecommunications infrastructure as a proxy for infrastructure development. The results indicate that infrastructure development has not helped in reducing poverty in Nigeria within the period of study. Specifically, the outcomes of the OLS revealed mixed results on both the direction and magnitude of the effect of infrastructure development on poverty alleviation. While the robust test validated the position that infrastructure development has not contributed to poverty reduction in Nigeria, signifying that a 0.58% increase in poverty level is associated with infrastructure development in Nigeria. The study concluded that infrastructure development in Nigeria has not effectively reduced poverty, primarily due to challenges faced by SMEs and negatively impacting living conditions across the nation. The study highlights the practical policy implications of these findings, requiring that Nigeria undertake a strategic and long-term perspective in her investment activities, similar to what has been done by successful developing countries to propel business productivity and poverty reduction.

Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini mencari sebab utama mengapa 46 pemda tersebut masih belum berhasil mendapat opini dan mencari perbaikan yang harus dilakukan untuk mendapat opini wajar tanpa pengecualian. Ditemukan bahwa isu-isu utama terdapat pada pengelolaan aset lancar, aset tetap, belanja operasi, dan belanja modal. Ketekoran kas di Bendahara Pengeluaran dan persediaan yang tidak didukung data rinci atau hasil stock opname mengindikasikan lemahnya pengendalian kas dan persediaan. Pada aset tetap, masalah muncul dalam pencatatan tanah, jalan, dan akumulasi penyusutan yang tidak akurat. Belanja barang dan jasa sering tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan, serta bukti pertanggungjawaban kurang memadai. Dalam belanja modal, kekurangan volume pekerjaan dan ketidakcocokan spesifikasi menyebabkan kelebihan pembayaran yang belum dipulihkan. Untuk memperbaiki pengelolaan keuangan daerah, direkomendasikan peningkatan pengendalian kas, persediaan, barang milik daerah, belanja barang dan jasa, serta belanja modal. Langkah-langkah ini mencakup pemanfaatan teknologi informasi, verifikasi pengeluaran yang ketat, peningkatan kapasitas SDM, dan pemantauan pengendalian yang berkelanjutan.
Tinjauan penerapan konsep pelabuhan berkelanjutan (ecoport/greenport) di Indonesia
Authors: Hizkia Andry , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyoroti pentingnya optimalisasi operasional pelabuhan dalam mencapai keberlanjutan yang holistik, meliputi dimensi lingkungan, sosial, dan ekonomi. Melalui metode scoping review, berbagai literatur terkait penerapan konsep pelabuhan berkelanjutan, khususnya Ecoport di Indonesia, dikumpulkan dan dianalisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pedoman teknis yang ada di Indonesia masih belum mencakup sepenuhnya prinsip-prinsip keberlanjutan yang diterapkan di negara-negara maju. Dari perspektif lingkungan, pengurangan penggunaan bahan bakar fosil dan pembatasan emisi dari peralatan bongkar muat berpotensi signifikan dalam mengurangi dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan sekitar pelabuhan. Dari sisi sosial, efisiensi tenaga kerja yang lebih baik dan sinkronisasi jam kerja memberikan dampak positif terhadap kesejahteraan pekerja dan masyarakat sekitar. Secara ekonomi, peningkatan produktivitas serta pengurangan biaya terkait penumpukan barang terbukti meningkatkan efisiensi operasional pelabuhan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa penerapan konsep Ecoport tidak hanya mengurangi dampak lingkungan, tetapi juga mendorong efisiensi dalam aspek sosial dan ekonomi, yang secara keseluruhan mendukung terciptanya pelabuhan yang berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan di Indonesia. Optimalisasi operasional yang berkelanjutan menjadi kunci dalam mewujudkan pelabuhan modern yang mampu menghadapi tantangan lingkungan tanpa mengorbankan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan sosial.

Published: September 2024

Abstract—Recent advancements in machine learning, partic- ularly in reinforcement learning (RL), have enabled solutions to previously intractable problems. This research paper delves into the mathematical underpinnings of several prominent deep RL algorithms, including REINFORCE, A2C, DDPG, and SAC. By implementing and testing these algorithms in the MuJoCo simulator, I evaluate their performance in training agents to achieve complex tasks, such as walking in a 3D environment. Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of these algorithms in real-time learning and adaptation, underscored by the superior performance of the SAC model. This study not only provides insights into the practical applications of deep RL but also lays the groundwork for future explorations in hyperparameter optimization and multi-agent learning scenarios. The project repository containing code, models, and experimental results is available for further research and development.
Digital Authoritarianism and Religious Populism in Turkey
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS) & Deakin University, Kenes Bulent , Yilmaz Ihsan
Published: September 2024

This article explores the interplay between religious populism, religious justification and the systematic attempts to control cyberspace by the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. Drawing from an array of scholarly sources, media reports, and legislative developments, the study unravels the multifaceted strategies employed by the ruling AKP to monopolize digital media spaces and control the information published, consumed and shared within these spaces. The narrative navigates the evolution of the AKP’s tactics, spotlighting the fusion of religious discourse with state policies to legitimize stringent control mechanisms within the digital sphere. Emphasizing the entwinement of Islamist populism with digital authoritarianism, the article provides evidence of the strategic utilization of religious platforms, figures, and media outlets to reinforce the narrative of digital authoritarianism as a protector of Islamic values and societal morality. Key focal points include the instrumentalization of state-controlled mosques and religious institutions to propagate government narratives on digital media censorship, alongside the co-option of religious leaders to endorse control policies. The article traces the rise of pro-AKP media entities and the coercive tactics used to stifle dissent, culminating in the domination of digital spaces by government-aligned voices. Furthermore, the analysis elucidates recent legislative endeavors aimed at further tightening the government’s grip on social media platforms, exploring the potential implications for free speech and democratic discourse in the digital realm.
Can Negative Online Reviews Be Perceived Differently on Different Websites?
Authors: Bose Mousumi
Published: September 2024

Prior research has suggested that negative online reviews may have greater effect to the receiver of word-of-mouth communication than similar positive online reviews. This research investigates the impact negative online reviews may have when consumers post them on different types of websites. Specifically, boundary conditions such as review types and review characteristics were considered as they interacted with website types to affect reviewer source credibility, specifically, reviewer expertise, trustworthiness, and ultimately, information usefulness. Study 1 results demonstrated that negative informative online reviews influence consumer’s perceptions of reviewer expertise on a knowledge-centric website compared to that on a social-centric website. However, this effect did not operate for negative online recommender reviews. Readers on knowledge-centric websites may want information to make decisions about reviewer expertise to determine whether a review was trustworthy and therefore, useful. Study 2 results demonstrated that high review reads had similar impact on both social-centric and knowledge-centric websites in terms of perceived reviewer expertise. However, when reviews had low reads, individuals on knowledge-centric websites may ignore such cues. Theoretical and managerial implications were discussed.

A collection for organs known as the endocrine system is responsible for releasing substances into the bloodstream. Hormones are signaling molecules that leave their place of manufacture that proceed to remote locations where they engage with ligands to have a consequence. While several just affect a particular tissue, others affect almost every cell in the organism. Hormones affect their goals in a variety of ways, ranging from improving nutrition absorption to changing the progression of cells or distinction, amongst numerous other things. A detached gland (pituitary gland, thyroid, etc.) which produces chemicals into the cell's permeable vasculature is usually considered an endocrine tissue. There is abundant blood supply to the endocrine glands. Crucial substances in no typical endosecretory cells, such as insulin from lipids, erythrocyte from the kidney, insulin-like growth factor by the hepatocytes, as ventricular natriuretic peptides from the cardiac muscle, are also released into the bloodstream. Certain endocrine tissues, such as the corpus lutea and placenta, are transient. Endocrine hormones differ in terms of their framework, secretion trends, or function. The discovery of novel endocrine hormones keeps happening.

Bu çalışma, yiyecek içecek işletmelerinde çalışan aşçıların mesleki bilgi ve deneyimlerini meslektaşlarıyla paylaşma durumlarını planlı davranış ve sosyal değişim teorileri perspektifinden incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bilgi paylaşma davranışını etkilediği düşünülen faktörler olarak kişisel çıktı beklentisi, bilgi kaybı beklentisi, karşılık beklentisi ve bilgi paylaşımına yönelik tutum arasındaki ilişkiler araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, tutumun bu faktörler üzerindeki aracılık etkisi de test edilmiştir. Rastgele ve kartopu yöntemleriyle seçilen 267 aşçının katıldığı çalışmada, bilgi paylaşımı tutumunu ölçmek için çeşitli ölçekler kullanılmış ve veriler anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, kişisel çıktı beklentisi ve karşılık beklentisinin bilgi paylaşımına yönelik tutumu pozitif ve anlamlı şekilde etkilediğini, ancak bilgi kaybı beklentisinin bu tutumu negatif ve zayıf düzeyde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Bilgi paylaşımına yönelik tutumun bilgi paylaşma davranışını güçlü bir şekilde pozitif etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Aracılık testleri, bilgi paylaşımına yönelik tutumun kişisel çıktı beklentisi ile bilgi paylaşma davranışı arasında kısmi tamamlayıcı bir aracılık rolü oynadığını, bilgi kaybı beklentisi ile bilgi paylaşma davranışı arasında rekabetçi (kısmi aracılık) rolü oynadığını ve karşılık beklentisi ile bilgi paylaşma davranışı arasında kısmi tamamlayıcı bir aracılık rolü oynadığını ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma bulguları, aşçıların bilgi paylaşma davranışlarını tahmin etmede Planlı Davranış Teorisi ve Sosyal Değişim Teorisinin açıklayıcı etkisini doğrulamış ve bu konuda stratejik öneriler sunmuştur.

Bear garlic (Allium ursinum L.) and its value for human health have been known for centuries. Its leaves, flowers, and bulbs contain many health-promoting compounds, and can be essential raw materials for the production of food and dietary supplements of natural origin. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the possibility of growing bear garlic in field conditions that differed significantly from those required by this plant, using unconventional treatments: catch crops (phacelia), shade plant (turnip rape), and biopreparations (Bio-Algeen S90 and Kelpak SL). The plowing of phacelia biomass had a beneficial effect on the number of A. ursinum progeny bulbs, the unit weight of bulbs and their yield per unit area, and the leaf yield not only in the first year of cultivation but also in the follow-up. Winter turnip rape applied as a shade crop caused a slight increase in the unit weight of bulbs and their yield in the first and second years of cultivation and in the number of progeny bulbs in the second and third years of cultivation. The cultivation of A. ursinum with turnip rape increased the percentage of garlic root weight and leaf yield. There was a positive effect of the applied biopreparations on the studied traits of A. ursinum bulb yield and leaf yield and on the formation of progeny bulbs in relation to the control object. The analysis of the interaction of the factors of the experiment showed that the combination with the application of the phacelia catch crop and the simultaneous cultivation of the shade crop had the most favorable effect on A. ursinum progeny bulb formation, bulb unit weight, root system development, and leaf yield. In all years of the study, the worst effect was obtained in the control object, i.e., in the cultivation without the catch crop, rapeseed, and application of biopreparations.

UMKM merupakan bagian dari perekonomian nasional, mandiri dan memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan pemerintah untuk meningkatkan jumlah UMKM di daerah. Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) menjadi garda terdepan dalam keterpurukan ekonomi akibat pandemi COVID-19. Langkah yang diambil Pemerintah untuk melakukan lockdown membuat aktivitas ekonomi berhenti tiba-tiba dan permintaan turun. Pemerintah dituntut berperan dalam memberikan insentif bagi pelaku usaha untuk meningkatkan perekonomian. Pemerintah juga dapat mendorong sektor perbankan seperti bank BUMN dan bank swasta untuk dapat memberikan pinjaman lunak yang dikenal dengan Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR), kepada pelaku UMKM melalui prosedur yang telah ditentukan untuk membantu pelaku UMKM mempertahankan usahanya agar terhindar dari kebangkrutan yang diakibatkan oleh Covid-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan agar masyarakat khususnya pelaku UMKM dapat cakap dan memahami tentang hukum yang berlaku di Indonesia (hukum positif) yang apabila terjadi kerugian usaha para pelaku UMKM dapat ditangani dengan mengajukan Kredit Usaha Rakyat dan agar memberikan saran serta solusi penyelesain sengketa yang baik sesuai hukum positif. Yang dimana penelitian ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan (library research) yang bersifat yuridis normatif.

Kota Pekalongan, yang terletak di pantai utara Pulau Jawa, Indonesia, dikenal sebagai pusat industri batik tradisional dengan kekayaan budaya yang khas. Sungai-sungai di kota ini, yang berfungsi sebagai sumber air bagi kehidupan sehari-hari dan kegiatan ekonomi, juga menghadapi masalah pencemaran yang serius. Pencemaran ini sebagian besar disebabkan oleh pembuangan limbah industri tekstil, termasuk limbah batik, yang dilakukan tanpa pengolahan yang memadai. Akibatnya, kualitas air sungai menurun drastis, menjadi keruh, berbau tidak sedap, dan mengandung zat berbahaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi penyebab utama pencemaran sungai di Pekalongan, menganalisis dampaknya, dan merumuskan langkah-langkah mitigasi yang efektif. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei, wawancara mendalam, dan observasi lapangan dengan melibatkan pemilik usaha batik dan warga setempat. Strategi mitigasi yang diusulkan meliputi peningkatan pengelolaan limbah oleh pabrik dengan teknologi yang lebih ramah lingkungan, pengawasan dan penegakan hukum yang lebih ketat oleh pemerintah, serta peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat melalui program pendidikan dan kampanye lingkungan. Dengan langkah-langkah mitigasi yang tepat, diharapkan dampak pencemaran dapat dikurangi, dan kualitas air sungai serta kesehatan masyarakat dapat diperbaiki.

A essencialidade do selênio (Se) como nutriente foi comprovado para humanos e animais, mas em plantas superiores, é considerado um elemento benéfico que promove o crescimento e melhora a capacidade antioxidante, além de mitigar danos por estresses ambientais. O impacto nas plantas varia de acordo com sua forma química, concentração, espécie vegetal, estágio de desenvolvimento e órgão da planta envolvida. Baixas concentrações de Se são benéficas, porém em excesso podem ser tóxicas, reduzindo a absorção de nutrientes e desequilibrando o balanço mineral. O Se é naturalmente encontrado em solos úmidos e alcalinos e pode ser assimilado pelas plantas através da via de assimilação de enxofre. Essa revisão foca na dinâmica do Se no sistema solo-planta, seus mecanismos de absorção e transporte, requisitos nutricionais para culturas agrícolas e os sintomas de deficiências e excessos nutricionais.
