JORNALISMO, ZONA DE CONTATO E MEDIADORES INDÍGENAS EM RORAIMA
Authors: Cesar Timóteo Westin de Camargo , Munaro Luís Francisco , de Oliveira Filho José Tarcísio
Published: January 2023

Este artigo debate a representação dos povos indígenas nos meios jornalísticos, partindo do entendimento de que tais representações são o resultado de um longo processo histórico de negociação de sentidos marcado por lógica assimétrica de poder entre a sociedade urbana e a comunidade autóctone. Em vez de entender o jornalismo como fruto da indústria de massa, percepciona-o como um conjunto dinâmico de práticas e representações capazes de absorver as várias autorrepresentações criadas por conjuntos de indivíduos dotados de etnicidade singular. Isto inclui considerar a autorrepresentação indígena situada no que Mary Louise Pratt chamou de “Zona de Contato” (1999) e os mediadores indígenas que desempenham funções na imprensa ou nos estudos sobre a imprensa (elementos já bastante característicos em Roraima, estado brasileiro com maior porcentagem de indígenas na população total).

A UFRR torna-se pioneira na promoção da formação superior voltada para indígenas, onde busca sempre preservar a identidade, cultura e saberes dos povos indígenas, e, por conseguinte, passou a integrar em seu processo de formação do/para o indígena, o conhecimento dentro da área tecnológica, possibilitando uma formação frente ao conhecimento básico em informática, o que tende a somar frente ao seu desenvolvimento reflexivo e crítico. Esta pesquisa delimita-se na apresentação de dados obtidos durante as aulas das disciplinas informática básica II (36hs) do curso de bacharelado em Gestão Territorial Indígena (GTI) e do curso bacharelado Gestão em Saúde Coletiva Indígena (GSCI) dentro da disciplina informática em saúde. Diante disso, esta pesquisa apresenta dados por meio de uma experiência ocorrida no semestre 2019.2 no decorrer de duas disciplinas um acompanhamento individualizado dentro do Insikiran/UFRR onde são ofertados três cursos de formação superior indígena: Gestão Territorial Indígena, Gestão em Saúde Coletiva Indígena e Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena. A população que compõe os resultados obtidos deste relato de experiência e as perspectivas de acadêmicos indígenas contou com um público alvo de 65 acadêmicos, sendo 34 do Curso GTI e 31 do Curso de GSCI. Considera-se para esta perspectiva que se faz necessário mais esforços e ações voltadas para o desenvolvimento frente ao uso das ferramentas tecnológicas e ao que cerne o uso do computador para produções de trabalhos e pesquisas acadêmicas e científicas. Mesmo se tendo na grande curricular dos cursos de GTI e GSCI, detectou-se que para uma pequena minoria, usar o computador e saber para que o mesmo serve, foi um confronto perante sua realidade, o qual não imaginava que era possível realizar tantas atividades.

Authors: KRYKANOV Dmitry D.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the aspects of the development of practical tasks for massive open online courses. The article also covers the importance of psychometrics for the development of digital courses and technical capabilities of modern popular MOOC platforms. The article describes the method of practical tasks selection to the educational materials named after G. Roche, which allows composing practical framework for the studied courses. Despite the common tools of pedagogical design of academic and digital courses, the latter are characterized by technical constraints. In order to cover cognitive competencies of all levels it is proposed to use Bloom’s taxonomy, which is used in this article within the framework of popular MOOC platforms.
Narrative Trading and Retail Investors' Strategies Transformation
Authors: Milovidov Vladimir D.
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes popular narratives impact on the quotations of public companies’ securities under the conditions of the dissemination and implementation of sustainable development (ESG) principles. The quotation dynamics of all securities types – those of leading sustainable development companies, outsider businesses, oil and gas firms, and corporations that attract mass investors’ and the general public’s attention (popular companies), as well as the ones in relation to which popular narratives are formed, are compared. The article also provides a scientific literature review that indicates a shift towards recognizing irrational factors which determine mass investors’ choice. The article shows that in the face of uncertainty, alongside with the emphasis transposition on the investment choice driving motives, scientific and applied research is veered towards such investment strategies that could perfectly suit investment preferences. The author reveals that at present, emotional and irrational factors in securities selection are beginning to play a bigger role in making investment decisions rather than fundamental financial indicators and objective information.
Warehouse Evolution in Contemporary Logistic Chains
Authors: Apostolov Igor Yu.
Published: January 2023

This article is devoted to the issues of warehouse management in modern supply chains. The weight and role of warehouses, which in the recent past occupied a minor, and sometimes even a secondary role in logistics, are rapidly growing. The widespread use of scientific and technological progress, automation and warehouse equipment has led to the fact that the warehouse has become not just a physical storage place, but also a source of added value and a production hub.

Logistics experts now agree that inventory should be kept as close to the place of consumption as possible in order to contain the growth of transport costs and meet the increasingly high requirements of consumers for the speed and quality of delivery. This has led to the development of such types of storage facilities as cross-docking and transshipment centers, fulfillment centers, sorting and consolidation points, reverse logistics centers — all in addition to their main role as warehouses of goods.

The competition for the buyer, the transition from the Push sales strategy to Pull (pulling instead of pushing), JIT (Just in Time), QR (Quick Response) and others increase the responsibility of the warehouse management and employees for the quality of the warehouse operations, which means the accuracy and speed of picking, and the efficiency of the goods return processing.

The development of e-commerce, the need to process a large number of orders, mostly small ones, have turned warehouses into Internet platforms with advanced automation of moving goods and equipment, primarily WMS (Warehouse management system).

Flow cytometry is an analytical technique that examines cells suspended in fluids. It uses a built-in laser beam to illuminate individual cells as the fluid passes through. The illumination causes fluorescence and scattered lights, which are emitted and reflected from the examining cell. These lights are split and filtered onto detectors and converted into electrical signals.
Global trade in 2023: What's driving reglobalization?
Authors: Schneider-Petsinger Marianne
Published: January 2023

The current pattern of economic integration and fracturing across different economies and sectors is best described as ‘reglobalization’. Globalization is far from finished, but is changing in nature through countries’ emphasis on stronger regional links and the formation of economic blocs for sensitive and strategically important sectors. Full-scale decoupling from China is neither achievable nor desirable for the G7 and like-minded partners. Trade policy has an important role to play in underpinning the positive aspects of a reglobalized world and in balancing geopolitical competition and cooperation, not just through coordinated efforts to strengthen supply-chain resilience, but also in enabling countries worldwide to benefit from the twin transitions to green and digital economies. This briefing paper draws on insights from expert roundtable discussions and a high-level speaker series under the umbrella of the Chatham House Global Trade Policy Forum.
Recalibrating assumptions on AI: Towards an evidence-based and inclusive AI policy discourse
Authors: Michel Arthur Holland
Published: January 2023

Many assumptions about artificial intelligence (AI) have become entrenched despite the lack of evidence to support them. Basing policies on these assumptions is likely to increase the risk of negative impacts for certain demographic groups. These dominant assumptions include claims that AI is ‘intelligent’ and ‘ethical’, that more data means better AI, and that AI development is a ‘race’. The risks of this approach to AI policymaking are often ignored, while the potential positive impacts of AI tend to be overblown. By illustrating how a more evidence-based, inclusive discourse can improve policy outcomes, this paper makes the case for recalibrating the conversation around AI policymaking.

Att göra livet (över)levbart: Transpersoners ontiska, relationella och reflekterande arbete för att skapa minoritetsro och hantera utsatthet i vardagen
Authors: Lundberg Tove , Wurm Matilda , Malmquist Anna
Published: January 2023

Transgender people report significantly poorer mental health than cisgender people. In psychological research, these health disparities are explained by theories of minority stress and microaggressions, while other disciplines use theories on normativity, livability, affective work, world making and utopias. Such theories are seldom picked up by psychologists even though they could serve to help psychological research and practice improve mental health in transgender people.The aim of this interview study was twofold. Empirically, it was to explore how 29 transgender people in Sweden (aged 17-63 years), experience and cope with vulnerability to make life survivable/livable. Analytically, psychological theories of minority stress, microaggressions and coping were put in conversation with theories of livability and emotional labor. Queer phenomenology was used to orient our analysis of the empirical material, as well as orient us theoretically, to find new ways of understanding transgender people’s vulnerability psychologically.While participants’ negative experiences are interpreted as covered by theories on minority stress and microaggressions, these theories do not explain all nuances of the exposure. In addition, theories on coping do not fully capture the constantly ongoing work participants need to do to manage everyday situations. The analysis resulted in three themes. One theme describes the ontic work that participants do in response to existential challenges of not being recognized as a subject. Another theme visualizes the relational work that participants do to deal with subtle exposure in their everyday life, trying to relate to oneself and others simultaneously. The final theme shows that participants utilize reactive and agentic reflexivity to try to achieve minority peace and a livable life. We hope that this dialogue between psychology and gender studies can continue in a Swedish context to better serve transgender people’s livability.

Authors: Jaw-Tsai S. , Barry R. , Pande P. G. , Taneja R. , Yang T.
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Bedaquiline (BDQ) as a fumarate salt is indicated as part of a regimen to treat multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). BDQ benzoate and maleate have been identified as promising alternatives that will encourage generic pharmaceutical houses to manufacture this drug. Our
study compared the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BDQ fumarate vs. the maleate and benzoate salts in dogs.METHODS: The PK of BDQ and its active N-desmethyl metabolite M2 following intravenous administration of 1 mg/kg BDQ (as fumarate) and oral administration of 10 mg/kg BDQ as
fumarate, benzoate, or maleate salts in suspension to fasted male beagle dogs was evaluated in a parallel-group and crossover study with N = 4 per group. BDQ and M2 plasma concentrations were determined up to 168 h post-dose. T-tests were conducted to compare the area under the curve,
AUC0–t among groups.RESULTS: Orally administered fumarate, benzoate, and maleate salts, in parallel-group design, resulted in mean BDQ AUC0–t of 9,267 ± SD 10,182, 19,258 ± SD 11,803, and 15,396 ± SD 9,170 ng.h/ml, respectively;
and in a crossover design of 9,267 ± SD 10,182, 17,441 ± SD 24,049, and 18,087 ± SD 19,758 ng.h/ml, respectively. P values were >0.05.CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significant difference in BDQ and M2 AUC0–t following oral
administration of fumarate, benzoate and maleate salts in dogs.
Cytomegalovirus viral load as predictor of the clinical course of hypoxic pneumonia in children
Authors: Lakhan A. , Gie A. , Rhode D. , Mfingwana L. , Parker N. , Goussard P.
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Children under 1 year of age with hypoxic pneumonia regularly have concurrent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia. In these children, the diagnosis of CMV-associated pneumonia and the prediction of an outcome are difficult. It is unclear whether quantification of blood
CMV viral load (CMV-VL) can predict outcomes in these children.METHODS: This was a retrospective study including children (1–12 months of age), with detectable CMV-VL and hypoxic pneumonia admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit of Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South
Africa between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2015. Clinical, radiological and biochemical data were collected.RESULTS: Of the 87 participants included (median age: 3.9 months, IQR 2.2–4.8), 35 were (40%) born prematurely. The median weight-for-age Z-score was –2.68
(IQR –3.0 to –0.83); 37 (43%) were severely underweight for age; 27 (31%) were HIV-positive, 3 were on ART. The median CMV-VL was log 4.0 (IQR 3.3–4.79); CMVhigh was defined as CMV-VL > median; CMV-VL < median was classified as CMVlow. Overall
survival was 90%; 12 (15.4%) remained oxygen-dependent at Day 28 post-admission. There was no difference in survival, 24-h post-admission ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO2:FiO2), oxygen dependence or ventilation
duration between CMVlow and CMVhigh. High-frequency oscillation ventilation duration was longer (P = 0.005) and Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) co-infection more frequent (P = 0.018) in CMVhigh.CONCLUSION: CMV-VL is unable to predict the
clinical outcome in children with hypoxic pneumonia. Specific treatment for CMV should be considered in all children at risk of CMV-associated pneumonia with detectable CMV-VL.

Inicialmente em janeiro de 2019 realizou-se levantamento no setor de Epidemiologia e Vigilância da Secretaria Municipal para identificação e relação nominal de mulheres pós-alta de hanseníase. A coleta de dados aconteceu no segundo semestre de 2019 em unidades básicas do município, incluiu realização de exame extra e intra bucal com a finalidade de observar alteração na face, na espinha nasal, maxila, mandíbula além de avaliação da dentição, uso de prótese, mucosa, língua. Resultados:14 mulheres participaram da pesquisa, houveram relatos de ausência da orientação para procura do serviço de odontologia. Entre as lesões intrabucais identificadas alguns destaques foram percentuais de hiperplasia - com ou sem trauma de prótese, língua fissurada, pigmentação, língua geográfica, língua saburrosa. 50% das mulheres utilizavam prótese dos tipos total ou parcial removível, e 50% não faziam esse uso. Quanto a avaliação de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (CPO-D) foi encontrado um alto índice entre elas, evidências de inflamação gengival e sangramento ao escovar também foram encontradas. CONCLUSÃO: As mulheres afetadas pela hanseníase apresentaram precárias condições de saúde bucal, sendo essencial o estabelecimento de meios de tratamento para reduzir os focos de infecções predisponentes para reações hansênicas bem como contribuir com o diagnóstico da doença. Os resultados apontaram ainda para a necessidade da sensibilização e articulação para um olhar integral com essas pessoas, além do fortalecimento da atuação interdisciplinar, sobretudo na atenção básica.

Midwives’ Knowledge of Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in Uganda
Authors: Nakanwagi Hanifah , Namutebi Jaliah , Naluyima Leila
Published: January 2023

The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a worldwide programme well known to midwives globally for supporting the initiation of successful breastfeeding. In low resource countries, initiation of breastfeeding immediately after birth would help to reduce neonatal complications such as infection. Knowledge of the 10 steps is critical for midwives in developing countries, yet our research in Uganda suggested that midwives’ knowledge is poor, despite a commitment at government level. There is a disconnect between policy and practice which must be addressed to ensure that midwives give standardised advice to new mothers to ensure successful and exclusive breastfeeding. This is especially important in Uganda, as there is no postnatal community care, so women receive no support once they leave hospital.

Quantitative Research on the Satisfaction of Shared Medical Equipment Under Sharing Economy
Authors: Xue Huzhi , Zhang Runtong
Published: January 2023

Background: Shared medical equipment is one of the developments related to sharing economy, which can effectively reduce the excessive waste of medical resources. Different people have different expectations. In other words, people’s responses influence the development. Therefore, identifying the expectations of different groups can provide guidance for the development of shared medical equipment. Methods: This study establishes a research model consisting of four personal characteristic indexes (identity, income, gender and age), four factors (financial affairs, sanitation, convenience and policies), and eight secondary indexes (rental price, diversified methods of payment, equipment disinfection, utility loss in transit, supporting services, scheduling efficiency, rights protection of damage and rights protection of medical malpractice). These data involved 337 effective Chinese participants and are analysed and tested through factor analysis, entropy method and nonparametric tests. Results: Factor analysis reclassifies eight secondary indexes and corrects four latent ones. There is no significant difference in the expectation of shared medical equipment among people of different ages, incomes and genders. Patients have the highest expectation (1.461). This is followed by personnel in medical industry, while ordinary people have the lowest expectation (1.448). People are most concerned about the disinfection degree of shared medical equipment, and least concerned about equipment scheduling efficiency. Conclusions: We propose a method to quantify the expectation of shared medical equipment. We also get the weight of each factor and determine the factor that people care more about. To maximize the benefits, different strategies are supposed to be introduced for different people according to their expectations.

Published: January 2023

FTO in pigs have reported associations of several single nucleotide polymorphisms with some fat-related traits. The purpose of our study was to investigate the FTO gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (g.400C>G) in the population of pigs and to evaluate the influence of polymorphism on productivity traits. This study of porcine FTO gene g.400C>G SNP was established from the isolated genomic DNA, amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digested with restriction enzymes, then DNA fragments were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. Allele C observed with frequency 0.4, allele G â€“ 0.6. The most common genotype was GG, genotype CC was the rarest. CC genotype pigs consume the most feed per kilogram of weight gain compared with other genotypes. The highest values for backfat thickness at the last vertebra at Fat1 and Fat2 were observed in animals with genotype CC. The lowest muscularity (%) was also observed in CC genotype. It was found that almost all pig production traits were significantly influenced by breed.

Bacillus spp. have long been used as biological control organisms against plant bacterial diseases but the mechanisms by which the bacteria confer protection against the pathogens are not properly understood. Among nine strains of Bacillus spp. three of them, viz. NBAII 63 (B. megaterium), NBAII 71 (B. cereus) and NBAII 65 (B. megaterium) were found highly inhibitory against R. solanacearum. These strains of Bacillus spp. produced indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore and solubilized the phosphorous. High amount of IAA (174.2 Î¼g/ml) and siderophore (1.32Î¼g/ml) production followed by the highest phosphorous solubilization (53.3 Î¼g/ml) by the strain NBAII 63 were found. These three potential Bacillus strains showed the increased activity of defense related enzymes, viz. peroxidase (PO), polyphenoloxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and total phenols in pre treated tomato plants challenged with R. solanacearum. Significant activities of PO, PPO, PAL were observed at 8 days after the treatment of antagonist and declined gradually afterwards. The maximum phenol content (185 Î¼g/g of plant tissue) was observed in the tomato plants whose roots were treated with Bacillus strain 63 at 8 days after inoculation treatment. These Bacillus strains could be used as potential biocontrol agent for the management of bacterial wilt disease of tomato.

Seed is the very important input factor in any crop production programme as the success or failure of any crop mainlydepends on the quality of seed. The present investigation was carried out to estimate the extent genetic variability, character association and divergence for seed yield and related traits in 76 genotypes of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duchesne ex Poir). The experimental results revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits under study. On the basis of mean performance for different seed traits, the genotypes DPU-6, DPU-51-3, DPU-57 and DPU-24 were found most promising. Further, high heritability estimates coupled with high genetic gain were observed for all the seed traits under study, which indicated that these traits are under additive gene effects and are more reliable for effective selection. The maximum PCV and GCV were observed for seed yield/plant (g) followed by 100 seed weight (g), seed area (mm2) reflecting presence of high genetic variability among all the genotypes for studied characters. Further, the experimental results revealed that seed area followed by seed yield per plant and 100 seed weight had maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant. The maximum positive indirect effect of seed breadth, seed length, 100 seed weight and seed yield/plant via seed area was observed on fruit yield per plant.The genetic divergence observed among seventy six diverse genotypes of pumpkin revealed considerable diversity for seed traits. In the present investigation, the cluster I and cluster IV were found more divergent (9.864) and have chances of getting transgressive segregants in F2 from crossing of genotypes from cluster I and cluster IV. Therefore,hybridization between these groups can be very effective for improvement of seed yield in pumpkin.

Permasalahan lain yang terus melanda ilmu-ilmu sosial hingga saat ini adalah ketidakmampuan menjelaskan apa dan bagaimana seharusnya tatanan ideal sebuah masyarakat. Supremasi hukum dalam era demokratisasi dewasa ini merupakan salah satu tuntutan yang harus dilaksanakan dalam rangka transparansi penanganan kasus hukum dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat,berbangsa, dan bernegara. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsep supremasi hukum, masyarakat madani dan kaitan keduannya. Metode penelitian yaitu literatur review yang bersumberkan dari jurnal-jurnal dan bahan bacaan yang bersumber dari google scholar dan mendeley. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Supremasi hukum merupakan sebuah prinsip inti demokrasi liberal yang mewujudkan ide-ide, seperti konstitusionalisme dan pemerintah dengan kekuasaan terbatas. Supremasi hukum berupaya untuk menegakkan dan memosisikan hukum pada tingkatan tertinggi.   Sedangkan masyarakat madani dapat diartikan sebagai suatu masyarakat yang beradab dalam membangun, menjalani, dan memaknai kehidupannya. Kata madani sendiri berasal dari bahasa Arab yang artinya civil atau civilized. Adapun kaitan keduanya adalah Supremasi hukum menjadi salah satu elemen penting dan juga sebagai salah satu pilar penegaknya masyarakat madani, karena salah satu ciri dari masyarakat madani adalah keadilan sosial.
Influencia de las Reformas Francesa y Estadounidense en la Cultura Organizacional del Ejército del Perú
Authors: Sánchez Velásquez Luis David
Published: January 2023

En este artículo se analizan las misiones militares que -en el siglo XX- generaron dos puntos de inflexión en el Ejército del Perú y cuyo pensamiento ha transcendido al tiempo, impregnándose en la cultura organizacional de sus oficiales. Para apreciar la influencia de estas reformas militares en los oficiales del Ejército, se ha evaluado el contexto de cada proceso por medio de la revisión documentaria y entrevistas. Como resultado, se estableció que la reforma francesa generó un oficial con rigidez y falta de flexibilidad, mientras que la reforma estadounidense generó un oficial más analista para la toma de decisiones. Finalmente, se concluyó que el oficial del Ejército, aunque es analista y detallista, se desenvuelve de manera rígida -de acuerdo a formatos- durante el cumplimiento de sus actividades.

The present work had as its theme the impact of aging in women over 60 years old, under the gerontological sphere in which we find ourselves, in which the stereotype of beauty has been quite widespread, the elderly bring us a questioning of how their personal perception of aging is faced in current times. This paper aimed to address the issues pertinent to the aging process in women, where we are faced with a growing population of elderly people. The methodology applied was a quali-quantitative approach with women aged 60 years or more. We approached the perception of aging and concluded that most of them are satisfied with their self-image. Possibly, living with family members must be a factor that adds to their participation in the social bond and care with self-esteem.

Introduction: brain death is defined as the irreversible cessation of all brain and brainstem functions. The timely management and maintenance of these vital functions and correction of the physiopathological alterations of the potential donor make organ donation possible, providing a second chance to patients who depend on a transplant. Aim: to describe the concept of encephalic death in the patient and its current management as a potential organ and tissue donor in the intensive care unit. Methodology: a non-experimental, descriptive, literature review study was carried out.Results: the process of organ and tissue donation after encephalic death is a challenge in terms of diagnosis and subsequent hemodynamic management with the aim of maintaining tissue perfusion so that these have vitality and viability to be transplanted to the recipient patient.Conclusions: it is recommended to use an established brain death protocol and apply it correctly, to avoid legal problems. Once the diagnosis has been made, it is possible to carry out the evaluation to establish whether the patient is a donor candidate or not. The pathophysiological changes that appear in the process of BD make these critical patients to be managed with extreme care. Donor maintenance is a major challenge for all health personnel in the intensive care area, since its treatment is extremely complex and the availability of donors is limited compared to the high demand of recipient patients waiting for an organ

Authors: Kember Tom
Published: January 2023

The West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) development aims to provide Hong Kong with a vibrant new cultural quarter on the shores of Victoria Harbour. As the first completed building in the district, the Xiqu Centre provides a world-class venue dedicated to the development and performance of xiqu (pronounced ‘see-chew’), a form of traditional Chinese opera. With its prominent location, the Xiqu Centre will act as a gateway to the wider district. Accordingly, a large area of ground-level public realm is provided within the building footprint. This article discusses some of the technical challenges in the design of the building structure – prompted by its unusual arrangement and constrained site – and how they were overcome. In particular, it will focus on the design and construction of the 1073-seat Grand Theatre spanning 37m over a column free public plaza.
