Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a qualidade da atenção básica com base nas respostas de profissionais e usuários, focando no tipo de médico - inserido ou não no Programa Mais Médicos (PMM). Realizou-se um estudo transversal aplicando o Questionário de Fortalecimento da Atenção Básica a 149 médicos e 795 usuários em unidades básicas de saúde de Pernambuco, Brasil, de fevereiro a novembro de 2018. Neste estudo, foi utilizado o conceito de provimento do PMM no qual foi previsto a destinação do profissional médico para área de vulnerabilidade social. Os médicos foram divididos em três subgrupos: brasileiros não PMM, brasileiros PMM e cubanos PMM. Foram gerados escores médios a partir da perspectiva dos profissionais e dos usuários por meio de análise bivariada e multivariada dos subgrupos dos médicos com variáveis sociodemográficas, educacionais e atributos da atenção primária, considerando-se o nível de significância de 5%. Médicos cubanos do PMM apresentaram os maiores escores médios, especialmente no atributo orientação familiar e comunitária (7,19), seguido pelo subgrupo dos brasileiros do programa (4,74). A análise multivariada mostrou significância para médicos cubanos, sexo feminino e profissionais com residência médica. Entre os usuários, observou-se maior associação com a qualidade da atenção básica no subgrupo dos médicos cubanos, com exceção da longitudinalidade. Os resultados indicam a efetividade dos médicos cubanos do PMM na atenção básica, ressaltando a necessidade de focar na centralidade do usuário. Os achados reforçam a importância de utilizar instrumentos de avaliação precisos e abrangentes na gestão da saúde pública.
Specialized human capital in manufacturing and economic growth: evidence for Brazilian municipalities
Authors: Silva Edcleutson de Souza , Silva Netto Junior José Luis da , Castro Gustavo Henrique Leite de , Silva Filho Luís Abel da
Published: November 2024

Abstract The Brazilian manufacturing has exchanged occupations with low education levels for occupations with high education levels, such as higher education, master's, and doctoral degrees. Therefore, the aim of this study is to verify if the growth rate in the demand for skilled labor in manufacturing affects the economic growth rate in Brazilian municipalities. As an econometric strategy, the proposal is, in addition to the use of panel data, to use instrumental variables (Bartik Instrument - shift-share) to address the endogeneity of the relationship between the employment growth rate in manufacturing and economic growth. The main results indicate that the growth rate of demand for skilled labor in manufacturing has a positive effect on the economic growth rate of municipalities and generates spillover effects for the sectors of agriculture and services. The evidence also points out that there is no differential effect for municipalities that belong to metropolitan or non-metropolitan regions, except for the GDP per capita metric.

Published: November 2024

Abstract The aim of the current research was to create a framework for the development of saffron commercial clusters in South Khorasan province. This research is quantitative and a questionnaire was used to conduct it. 987 managers, assistants and marketers of saffron processing workshops and saffron sales centers of saffron commercial clusters in South Khorasan constitute the statistical population of the research. 278 people were used as a sample population in the table of Karjesi and Morgan in 1970, and a questionnaire was used to collect the necessary data. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical indices, structural equation analysis and SPSS and SEM-PLS software packages. The inferential findings of the research showed complete agreement between the theoretical and experimental constructs and the measured factors with the accepted theoretical models. The results of data analysis indicate that economic and social factors had a positive effect on the level of development at the 95% confidence level. On the other hand, in the economic variable, the item “commercialization of saffron product” is the first priority and the item “transportation, packaging, marketing costs of saffron product” is the last priority, and also in the variable of social factors, the item “innovation motivation for saffron product producers” “in the first priority and the item “riskiness of investment for saffron product” is in the last priority. In addition, the variables of the research model account for about 68% of the changes in the level of development of commercial clusters in South Khorasan.

Published: November 2024

Abstract A case of diprosopia anomaly in a blue shark (Prionace glauca) embryo from the South Atlantic Ocean is described. A detailed morphological description of internal organs was provided. The sample came from a pregnant female caught near Trindade Island (19°29'30”S, 028°20’00”W) in Southeast Brazil, with three normal embryos and one with external morphological abnormalities. The anomalous embryo was a male, with deformities in the skull and curvature of the spinal column twisted from the end of the first dorsal fin to the end of the caudal fin in a counterclockwise direction. Furthermore, two faces were observed, the right one with few alterations, while the left one was fused to it, with deformations in the eyes, mouth and nostril. The stomach was the only organ to show alteration in its shape, macroscopically. Organs of the digestive tract, renal structures and rectal gland was analyzed microscopically, and no alteration were observed in the samples. This is the first description of the internal organ of a specimen with diprosopia. These results suggest that, in addition to other factors, the survival of the embryo could be related to their ability to feed and escape predators in case to survive birth.

Abstract Objectives: develop a screening tool (AMA-48) to assess the risk of the mother-baby dyad not progressing positively in exclusive breastfeeding within the first 48 hours of hospital admission. Methods: this methodological study was carried out in a child-friendly hospital located in the interior of the Northeast Region of Brazil, between July2019 and August 2020. The study followed the following phases: 1) search in the literature to reformulate the construct; 2) restructuring of the construct and instrument; 3) content validation through evaluation by a committee of experts. Outcomes: the literature search resulted in the selection of ten documents. From these, the objective and structure of the instrument were defined, generating a structured questionnaire (11 items). Twenty-two experts considered 64% of the items “adequate”. After reformulating and reevaluating the instrument, it was considered objective (85%), clear (90%) and relevant (95%). In the end, the instrument obtained a satisfactory overall average Content Validity Index of0.88 (0.05) and included variables related to the unfeasibility of exclusive breastfeeding, maternal and neonatal anthropometry and breastfeeding difficulties, classifying the dyad at usual, medium and high risk. Conclusion: a tool with content validity was obtained, developed for low complexity services, which indicates the risk of the dyad not continuing exclusive breastfeeding.

Resumo Objetivos: analisar os fatores associados à participação das gestantes em atividades educativas e sua indicação à maternidade de referência ao parto durante o pré-natal. Métodos: estudo longitudinal multicêntrico realizado em três maternidades. Utilizou-se entrevista realizada logo após o parto e os desfechos avaliados foram a participação em atividade educativa no pré-natal e a indicação da maternidade de referência ao parto. Utilizou-se Regressão de Poisson na análise do modelo hierárquico proposto. Resultados: das 3438participantes, 23,2%participaram de atividades educativas e 61,2% tiveram o parto referenciadoà uma maternidade. As mulheres com maior renda familiar (RP= 1,36; IC95%= 1,04–1,77), com aumento em um ano na idade RP= 1,02; IC95%= 1,01–1,04), primeira gestação RP= 1,84; IC95%= 1,56–2,17) e que praticavam atividade física RP= 1,28; IC95%= 1,09–1,50) tiveram maior prevalência de participação nas atividades educativas. A indicação da maternidade foi mais frequente entre as mulheres com maior renda familiar RP= 1,15; IC95%= 1,01–1,30), escolaridade (RP= 1,01; IC95%=1,00–1,02), não tabagistas (RP= 1,31; IC95%= 1,07–1,61) e usuárias de drogas (RP= 1,44; IC95%= 1,17–1,77). Conclusões: apesar da ampla cobertura, o pré-natal ainda apresenta falhas nas ações educativas e na indicação da maternidade de referência.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the development, validation, and evaluation of an educational video on the prevention of sexual violence against children for family caregivers. Method: Methodological study developed in three stages: 1) Development of the educational video; 2) Content and appearance validation with 22 referees; and 3) Semantic evaluation with 11 family caregivers. Validated data collection instruments were used for content and appearance validation with referees, as well as for semantic evaluation. The validation criterion was agreement above 80%, analyzed using the content validity index, binomial test and absolute frequency. For semantic evaluation, intentional non-probabilistic sampling was used. Results: the video included elements such as concept, victim and aggressor profile, identification (child's report and signs and symptoms), forms of prevention, forms of reporting, and protection network, distributed in opening, eight scenes, and closing, with a total time of nine minutes and 35 seconds. In content validation, agreement was satisfactory, with an average content validity index of 0.99, and in appearance validation, the average content validity index was 0.83. The semantic evaluation, conducted with 11 representatives of the target audience, obtained 100% agreement for all evaluated items. Conclusion: the video was considered valid in terms of content and appearance by the referees and understandable by representatives of the target audience, becoming a technology that can contribute to the prevention of sexual violence against children.
Global shocks and trade response-terms of trade, J-curve and the Marshall-Lerner condition: evidence from Brazil♦
Authors: FERREIRA Mauro Sayar , JANUÁRIO Marcelo Randolfo da Costa
Published: November 2024

Abstract The traditional terms of trade (TOT) shock analysis may be an unrealistic experiment, especially for a small open economy where the state of the world economy endogenously determines TOT. The dynamic relation between TOT and the trade balance needs to consider the nature of the global shock that jointly moves price and income, globally and domestically. We estimate Bayesian global SVARs for Brazil using a structure that easily communicates to traditional DSGE models to evaluate the presence of the J-curve and the Marshall-Lerner condition (MLC) following innovations we claim to resemble world supply and demand shocks. We do not encounter a J-curve for aggregate trade nor for trade in fuel, and capital and consumption goods. MLC is not verified only for trade in capital goods, but even in the cases where MLC is present, we observe that TOT and the volume exported are not correlated as expected, since improvement in the volume exported happens when TOT appreciates. Our results suggest that income effect plays the most prominent role for the dynamics of the trade balance and for the validity of the MLC, dominating the TOT effect.
Efeitos da concorrência potencial: o caso do ato de concentração Gol-Webjet
Authors: FRANKE Fernando Daniel , RESENDE Guilherme Mendes
Published: November 2024

Resumo O presente estudo analisa os impactos, em termos de preços, decorrentes da exclusão de um concorrente potencial no setor aéreo brasileiro. Não obstante a relevância desse tipo de pressão competitiva, as análises concorrenciais têm um foco mais voltado para a concorrência efetiva, fazendo com que a concorrência potencial ainda seja um tema pouco explorado pela literatura empírica. Buscando preencher essa lacuna, o presente estudo analisa os impactos decorrentes da aquisição da empresa Webjet pela empresa Gol, em 2012, tendo como foco de investigação a concorrência potencial. Antes de ser adquirida, a Webjet exercia tanto o papel de concorrente efetiva da Gol, em algumas rotas, como o papel de concorrente potencial, noutras. Assim, nesse contexto, foi possível comparar as tarifas aéreas antes e após a operação nessas rotas, e estimar os impactos decorrentes dessa retirada de concorrência potencial. Para essa análise, aplicou-se o método de diferenças em diferenças, utilizando os dados de tarifas aéreas da Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) referentes aos períodos pré e pós-operação. Os resultados indicam a ocorrência de aumentos de preços nessas rotas, que variam de 7,68% a 16,42%, a depender do modelo utilizado. Esses resultados evidenciam, portanto, a importância de se levar em consideração os efeitos da concorrência potencial nas análises de fusões e aquisições.

RESUMO Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de diagnóstico e internações hospitalares por COVID-19 e avaliar seus correlatos entre adultos no Brasil. Métodos: Um estudo transversal, com dados secundários do Inquérito Telefônico de Fatores de Risco para Doenças Crônicas não Transmissíveis em tempos de Pandemia — Covitel 2022 foi realizado. O estudo Covitel utiliza amostragem por conglomerados, realizada a partir de discagem aleatória de dígitos para linhas telefônicas fixas e celulares, entre pessoas de 18 anos ou mais. O desfecho “diagnóstico de COVID-19” foi baseado no autorrelato de um caso confirmado, por meio de exames laboratoriais ou diagnósticos médicos. Para aqueles que relataram COVID-19, foi questionado sobre a necessidade de internação hospitalar devido à COVID-19. As variáveis independentes incluíram sexo, idade, escolaridade, região, comorbidade, plano de saúde privado, autoavaliação de saúde e situação profissional. A razão de chances foi estimada por regressão logística considerando o desenho amostral complexo. Resultados: A partir da amostra de 9000 pessoas obteve-se prevalência de diagnóstico de COVID-19 de 25,4% (IC95% 23,8–27,1%), variando de 23,0% (IC95% 20,0–26,3%) na região Nordeste a 28,5% (IC95% 25,3–31,7%) na região Sul. Adultos entre 35–44 anos tiveram a maior prevalência de diagnóstico de COVID-19. Quanto maior a escolaridade, maior foi a prevalência do diagnóstico de COVID-19. Conclusão: A prevalência do diagnóstico de COVID-19 é marcadamente diferente daquela da infecção por SARS-CoV-2 a nível populacional. As diferenças socioeconômicas no acesso aos testes são a explicação provável. Idosos e pessoas com comorbidades tiveram maior probabilidade de serem internados em hospital devido à COVID-19 no Brasil.
Perspectivas entre educação e Estado: a formação do “novo homem” latino-americano (séculos XIX/XX)
Authors: Santos Luciana Eliza dos
Published: November 2024

RESUMO O texto apresenta perspectivas acerca de interações entre Estado e educação escolar no momento histórico em que se efetua a modernização de sociedades latino-americanas, entre o decorrer do século XIX e primeira metade do XX. Focaliza a constituição do Estado Nacional argentino, enfatizando alguns reflexos na educação, como sua própria constituição enquanto campo social. Para tanto, percorre as referências de duas obras e autores: Facundo, ou civilização e barbárie (1845), de Domingos Faustino Sarmiento e Como el Estado educa a tu hijo (1928), de Julio Barcos. Ao refletir sobre o moderno e suas representações históricas, analisa algumas perspectivas de ambos os autores e obras perante as interlocuções entre Estado e escola e suas consequências para o coletivo e a memória social.
A arte de viver e de contar histórias: experiências de professoras na Educação Básica
Authors: Ramos Flávia Brocchetto , Vasconcelos Roger Andrei de Castro , Neitzel Adair de Aguiar
Published: November 2024

RESUMO Este artigo objetiva analisar as percepções de professoras contadoras de histórias acerca da mediação de leitura por meio da arte de contar histórias. É uma pesquisa qualitativa aplicada, realizada por meio de entrevista episódica, junto a cinco professoras que atuam na Rede de Ensino Municipal de Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. Os principais aportes teóricos para a sistematização dos dados foram Sisto (2012), Neitzel; Carvalho (2016) e Zumthor (2020). O tratamento dos dados ancorou-se em abordagem descritiva à luz do escopo teórico eleito. Como resultados, indica-se que as professoras contadoras de histórias contam histórias porque acreditam na potência dessa mediação para o agenciamento de leitores; investem na contação de histórias pelo viés da leitura fruitiva que entende o texto literário como objeto estético e artístico a ser apreciado; desenvolvem a contação de histórias como mediação cultural carregada de afetos para provocar crianças e adolescentes; aprenderam a arte de contar histórias na prática da docência e ao atuarem em bibliotecas; necessitam de oportunidades para ampliar sua formação como contadoras.

Published: November 2024

RESUMO Esse estudo elucida as percepções de um grupo de Licenciandos em Química sobre a mobilização de conhecimentos referentes às sete bases no framework Conhecimento Tecnológico Pedagógico do Conteúdo (CTPC) durante atividades de intervenção na pandemia. A pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem mista e procedimento Survey, constituiu-se à luz da observação e de 29 assertivas na escala Likert, em um questionário de autorrelato, onde as variáveis nominais foram reorganizadas em escala. A análise estatística via software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, demonstrou confiabilidade nos dados e disparidade de normalidade; logo, realizou-se testes paramétrico (Anova de duas vias) e não paramétrico (Kruskal-Wallis), considerando nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Ao término, percebeu-se que dentre as 29 assertivas, 5 delas exibiram efeito significativo de algum grupo (Gênero, Faixa Etária, Colégio em que Atua, Turma que Atende, Tempo de Participação) a partir do teste kruskal-Wallis, demonstrando haver rejeição da hipótese nula (p ≤ 0,05 ≠ H0). Ademais, as constatações indicam que ainda há fortemente a necessidade de uma formação docente inicial holística, onde a utilização da tecnologia torne-se apropriação em comunhão ao Conhecimento do Conteúdo.

RESUMO O brincar dramático é discutido em suas relações entre imaginação, brincadeira, drama e vivência, na perspectiva da psicologia histórico-cultural de Vigotski. Trata-se de um recorte de uma pesquisa realizada entre os anos de 2018 e 2020, cujo objetivo foi investigar a relação entre o brincar e a ação dramática, com base nas vivências de uma professora na Educação Infantil e na formação continuada de professores nessa etapa da Educação Básica. Constituíram-se em materiais de análise os registros da pesquisadora e da professora. As análises indicam o quanto a brincadeira envolve o viver dramático e, neste sentido, a importância de a professora organizar sua ação docente na perspectiva do drama como ação pedagógica, no qual o brincar dramático constitui-se basilar. O texto destaca a importância das relações entre a imaginação e o brincar dramático, enfatizando sua relevância tanto para crianças quanto para adultos, especialmente aqueles que trabalham com a infância.
O Lugar De Onde Se Vê: Vigotski E O Novo Teatro Para A Nova Pessoa Socialista
Authors: Toassa Gisele , Silva Yasmin Carolina Ribeiro
Published: November 2024

RESUMO No presente artigo, discutiremos o papel do teatro na construção da nova pessoa socialista, tal como vislumbra Lev Vigotski (1896-1934) no contexto da revolução cultural dos anos 1920, subsequente à Revolução Russa de outubro de 1917. Em um estudo bibliográfico, recorreremos particularmente aos seus escritos sobre arte do período entre 1917 e 1925, entre os quais destaca-se, numericamente, a crítica teatral. Trataremos da relação dele com o teatro como lugar de onde a sociedade se vê e onde ela deveria vivenciar o pathos revolucionário, em intersecção com a presença de ideias trotskistas sobre o “super-homem”. Problematizaremos o teor eclético da influência de Nietzsche entre os marxistas russos, e as determinações pelas quais Vigotski anseia por mudanças radicais no teatro (como texto, instituição e encenação), na atmosfera trotskista da formação experimental, coletiva e criativa de uma nova pessoa, tendo a multiplicidade e a alteridade no centro do desenvolvimento e da educação humana.

Published: November 2024

RESUMO A nova historiografia do fim do século XX nos faz lançar um olhar diferente sobre o Iluminismo, para sua pluralidade e nuanças, e também levantou novos questionamentos sobre os modos de vida, as práticas e seus agentes nos diferentes contextos sociais. A respeito da história do livro e da leitura, tanto Robert Darnton como Roger Chartier são historiadores de referência, com os quais nos propomos a dialogar neste artigo, mediante uma metodologia de análises bibliográficas. Tendo como recorte a França do século XVIII, pretendemos pensar o tema da leitura como ato político, mais especificamente o papel da circulação dos impressos e das práticas de leitura na elaboração de um pensamento político e crítico e na formação da opinião pública.
'New Directions for Foreign Policy Analysis': Reconfiguring the Field
Authors: Salgado Carolina , Siman Maíra , Guzzini Stefano
Published: November 2024

Abstract This special issue (vol. 45 (2) and vol. 46(2)) presents (some) new research directions for Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) and Diplomatic Studies. It is driven by the dual aim of exploring contemporary debates that have nourished interpretivist approaches to foreign policy and diplomacy and engaging, through this very prism, with two broader audiences in Brazil. On the one hand, it wishes to connect these recent research directions to scholars working within the prevalent analytical tradition of foreign policy in the country. On the other hand, it also tries to engage post-positivist traditions in Brazilian International Relations (IR) that have traditionally neglected the fields of FPA or Diplomatic Studies. In short, the SI starts from the premise that FPA is a field not necessarily connected to one methodological tradition. Interpretivist research can inform FPA, and FPA can inform interpretivist research.
Avaliação da alimentação escolar: um estudo de caso na rede estadual de ensino de Corumbá–MS
Authors: Santo Anderson Luís do Espírito , Moraes Naitielly Soria de , Voks Douglas Josiel
Published: November 2024

Resumo Este estudo de caso, descritivo e quanti-qualitativo, busca avaliar a alimentação escolar ofertada a 453 estudantes de escolas estaduais de Corumbá-MS. Especificamente, foi possível identificar o perfil dos estudantes (a maioria são mulheres e pardas) e levantar um conjunto de dados e evidências sobre a segurança alimentar dentro da escola. Os resultados mostram que o direito à alimentação escolar de qualidade nutricional não vem sendo operacionalizado nas escolas estaduais de Corumbá-MS, pois foi evidenciado que pouca alimentação quente é ofertada, havendo um grande domínio de ultraprocessados na merenda. Só haverá melhorias nos resultados escolares com alimentação de qualidade e com Educação alimentar. Portanto, a utilização de dados e evidências na avaliação de políticas públicas objetiva tornar visíveis as atividades cotidianas e suas práticas sociais, para garantir um melhor gerenciamento de recursos e a efetividade no cumprimento do objetivo da política, nesse caso, do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar.
HEAT DISSIPATION IN HEAT-GENERATING BLOCKS USING NANO-ENCAPSULATED PCMS AND FINNED ANNULAR DESIGNS
Authors: El Moutaouakil Lahcen , Boukendil Mohammed
Published: November 2024

This study advances the thermal management of high-power-density electronic components by introducing a hybrid cooling system that integrates nano-encapsulated phase change materials with adjustable-length aluminum fins. The system is designed with a partitioned cylindrical configuration, featuring a porous internal zone filled with NEPCM and an air-filled external zone equipped with aluminum fins. Using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6, the system's governing equations are approximated with the Galerkin finite element method. The analysis investigates the impact of key parameters including emissivity (0 ≤ ε ≤ 1), porosity (0.1 ≤ εp ≤ 0.9), nanoparticle concentration (0 ≤ φ ≤ 5%), permeability (5 × 10-4 cm2 ≤ K ≤ 0.5 cm2), and fin length (0.3 cm ≤ L ≤ 1.6 cm). The results indicate that the effect of incorporating NEPCMs with a 5% nanoparticle concentration and varying porosity on the maximum temperature reduction is minimal, with a decrease not exceeding 0.5°C. Extending the aluminum fins from 0.3 cm to 1.6 cm reduces the maximum temperature by up to 10°C, demonstrating the significant role of fin length in thermal management. Increasing the permeability of the porous medium from 5 × 10-4 cm2 to 0.5 cm2 results in a notable temperature decrease of about 3.5°C. Additionally, enhancing the emissivity from 0 to 0.6 lowers the maximum temperature by approximately 19°C.
Effect of coarse recycled aggregate with embedded fibres on the mechanical properties and microstructure of polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete
Authors: Liu Guanzhi , Claramunt Josep , Hunger Martin , Tošić Nikola , de la Fuente Albert
Published: November 2024

Previous studies have shown the feasibility of using recycled aggregates in new concrete production. However, the recycling of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) introduces a novel challenge: the emergence of a new aggregate type that can be identified as recycled aggregate with embedded fibres. Therefore, in this study, in order to investigate the differences, the mechanical properties and microstructures of polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete (PPFRC) made of natural coarse aggregate, coarse recycled aggregate and coarse recycled aggregate with embedded fibres were compared. Polypropylene fibre contents of 3 and 9 kg/m3 (0.33% and 1.0% by volume, respectively) were chosen for all concretes. The mechanical properties, including stress–strain behaviour in compression and flexural behavior, were tested. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the microstructure and elucidate the effects of different aggregates on PPFRC properties. The results indicated that recycled aggregate with embedded fibres did not enhance compressive strength and elastic modulus compared to recycled aggregate without fibres. However, when the fibre content is low, its contribution to flexural behavior is significant, even surpassing that of PPFRC made with natural aggregate.

The effect of ash slag on the drying of a ceramic sample based on non-ferrous metallurgy waste
Authors: Abdrakhimov V. Z. , Abdrakhimov D. V.
Published: November 2024

The introduction of ash slag into the ceramic composition as a desiccant, which is a non-shrinkable material, contributes to a more uniform distribution of moisture in the sample and its effective removal during drying. This also has a positive effect on the molding and drying processes of ceramic products. Ash slag must be introduced into ceramic masses to reduce shrinkage during drying, increase moisture conductivity, however, it should be borne in mind that this reduces the strength of ceramic products during compression.

Authors: Vanchurin V. I. , Belyakov A. V. , Petrov A. Yu.
Published: November 2024

A method for producing a composite sorbent with a honeycomb structure (a system of parallel directed permeable pores) for capturing platinum aerosols in high-temperature catalytic processes is proposed. The composite sorbent is prepared on the basis of cordierite ceramics with the addition of active calcium oxide to its composition. The calcium oxide precursor is introduced into the molding mass in the form of calcium carbonate powder, or by impregnating the matrix material with a solution of calcium nitrate. The mechanism of synthesis of a composite sorbent is investigated and its physicochemical properties are given. Pilot tests of composite sorbents in an industrial reactor have shown its resistance to technological conditions of ammonia conversion and the ability to capture platinum catalyst aerosols. Ill. 6.

The Untapped Role of the European Parliament in Common Security and Defence Policy
Authors: Moser Carolyn , Blockmans Steven
Published: November 2024

In recent years, security and defence have emerged as prominent fields of European Union (EU) integration, notably after the Russian aggression against Ukraine. However, the formal role of the European Parliament (EP) has not adapted to this evolving landscape. The intergovernmental structure of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) persists unchanged, restricting the EP’s formal role on many defence dossiers. As CSDP activities grow amidst current geopolitical dynamics, questions arise about the alignment of limited parliamentary prerogatives with the EU principles of democracy, sincere cooperation, and institutional balance. This article contends that, rooted in the EU’s democratic foundation, the EP holds an ex ante and ex post scrutiny role in CSDP that goes beyond what is generally realised in practice and assumed in the literature. Crucial in this context is the institution’s entitlement to the timely provision of comprehensive information in relation to security and defence matters, which is indispensable for effective democratic scrutiny in this policy area.
Ein Grundrecht verschwindet – die Entscheidung des US-Supreme-Court im Fall Dobbs v. Jackson und ihre Folgen
Authors: Beaucamp Guy
Published: November 2024

The decision from 2022, discussed in the article, has led to heated debates. It made and will continue to make abortions very difficult in several US-states. It also goes against a trend in most of the world’s countries to liberalise abortion policy. From a methodological point of view Dobbs v. Jackson relies heavily on historical arguments, an approach, which is questionable. Additionally, it overrules longstanding precedent, namely Roe v. Wade from 1973. The article focuses on the questions which conditions must be met for an overruling and whether they are sufficiently met in this case.

The NATO Planning System in the Context of the Provisions of the NATO 2030 Agenda and the NATO 2022 Strategic Concept
Authors: Antyukhova Ekaterina
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of key aspects of current changes in the system of military and political planning of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Within the framework of the post-bipolar world order, a complex process
of transformation of the strategic priorities of activities and organizational structure of the alliance is underway. Its key
meaning is the effective adaptation of NATO to the significant changes that have occurred in international politics since
the adoption of the last strategic concept in 2010. At the same time, the further expansion and internal strengthening of the
military-political bloc is designed to ensure the formation of an international order consistent with the long-term interests of
the United States and its western allies.
The dynamics of international processes and growing contradictions of the key trends of global development have
necessitated the optimization of the activities of the alliance and the adaptation of its functional mechanism to changing
international conditions. This task received its doctrinal formalization within the framework of the new strategic concept of
the alliance, adopted at the Madrid summit on 29 June 2022. Scientific analysis of the forms and mechanisms of NATOʼs
adaptation to new operating conditions involves empirical consideration and comparative analysis of the key areas of the
activities of the alliance.
Within the framework of the undertaken research, based on the application of systemic and structural approaches,
as well as the integrated use of general scientific and special methods of political science research, this article analyzes the
content of the new doctrinal document both from the point of view of continuity of long-term strategic orientations of NATOʼs
activities and from the position of identifying new components in its military-political planning system. Special attention is
paid to the changes related to the conceptually defined priorities of the strategy of the alliance in the sphere of confrontation
between the Russian Federation and the Peopleʼs Republic of China (PRC).
The analysis of the contradictory processes taking place in NATO and reflected in the content of the NATO 2030
Agenda and the 2022 Strategic Concept seems to be fundamentally significant both in the context of understanding the logic
of the development of the entire structure of European and international security and from the point of view of assessing the
prospects for further development of relations between the largest military-political bloc and the Russian Federation and
other leading actors.
South Korea’s Place in the Evolving Global Regulation on Digital Trade Architecture
Authors: Korgun Irina
Published: November 2024

Regulation of digital trade is becoming one of the drivers of fragmentation in the world economy. In the absence of a common
international standard on digital trade governance, countries take different approaches to regulation. Each country adds a
layer to the existing digital trade regimes, resulting in what has been famously described as the “spaghetti bowl” effect. This
article investigates Korea’s unique position in the evolving global regulation of digital trade and the added value the country
brings to the process of co-creating a common reference for international best practices. The article contributes to the ongoing
debate about the dichotomy of global and regional layers of global digital trade regulation by looking at the existing regulation by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and regional agreements. Research indicates that, for many countries, including Korea, digital trade agreements, or free trade agreements (FTAs) with e-commerce chapters, serve as platforms not
only to experiment with possible regulations but also to increase their negotiating and normative power in co-creating global
standards for digital trade regulation. This article presents evidence that Korea is a proponent of the WTO’s role in providing a common reference for the regulatory standards on digital trade. When it comes to digital trade agreements, Korea is
actively engaging with its partners to update existing trade rules. However, its commitments under various agreements show
a great variation and heavy use of the national security carve-out, indicating a desire to leave a comfortable space for future
policy actions. Also, Korea’s early engagement with strong economic partners on digital trade regulation speaks in favour
of its desire to acquire more internationally acknowledged normative power. By assuming a high standard of digital trade
regulation, the country can negotiate better deals with other partners – deals that will contribute to its national interests

Site-specific incorporation of BpF into ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) in E. coli v1
Authors: Sandy Zac
Published: November 2024

This protocol details the site-specific incorporation of BpF into ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) in E. coli. The use of a photo-crosslinkable residue within UBLs enhances the detection of weak and transient protein-protein interactions. This protocol provides a general workflow for the production of such protein probes, followed by methods to detect specific protein interactions using targeted or proteomic approaches. This protocol is linked to the PLOS ONE protocols manuscript "Site-selective photo-crosslinking for the characterisation of transient ubiquitin-like protein-protein interactions".
SP3 protein cleanup - digestion w/ rapizyme and ACN - SP3 peptide cleanup v1
Authors: Mermelekas Georgios , Barylyuk Konstantin , Araújo Eduardo , Branca Rui
Published: November 2024

This procedure takes as input samples (cells, tissue, tumor piece, biopsy, etc) previously lysed in SDS-based lysis buffer (4% (w/v) SDS, 25 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 1mM DTT) and with DNA already sheared, and it delivers tryptic peptides in water. It consists of protein clean-up with sp3-beads, denaturation, reduction and alkylation of cysteines, followed by digestion of proteins to peptides by trypsin (rapizyme from Waters), while using 10% ACN instead of urea during digestion, and ends with peptide level sp3 cleanup.
Skalierbare automatisierte Transformation hydrodynamischer Kanalnetzmodelle in vereinfachte hydrologische Modelle
Authors: Schütze Manfred
Published: November 2024

Detaillierte (hydrodynamische) Kanalnetzmodelle sind, insbesondere bei komplexen Netzen, rechenzeitaufwändig. Der Beitrag beschreibt ein automatisiertes Verfahren, das aus einem hydrodynamischen Kanalnetzmodell ein sofort lauffähiges und schnelles vereinfachtes (hydrologisches) Kanalnetzmodell erzeugt. Dadurch, dass im Simulationssystem Simba# hydrodynamische und hydrologische Modellierungsansätze in einem Modell kombiniert werden können, ergeben sich neue Möglichkeiten und Anwendungen der Modellvereinfachung unter Berücksichtigung wichtiger hydrodynamischer Aspekte (u. a. Digitaler Zwilling).
A SIMULATION STUDY ON DUNNETT TEST ROBUSTNESS TO GROUP SIZE AND HETEROSCEDASTICITY IN LINEAR MIXED-EFFECTS MODELS
Authors: Agbangba Codjo Emile , Tchando Sika Fidele , Gongnet Emmanuel Ehnon
Published: November 2024

In linear mixed-effects models, the Dunnett procedure is commonly employed for comparing multiple groups against a control group. While the influence of group number on the Dunnett test’s performance is well-documented, the effects of heteroscedasticity and unequal group sizes remain underexplored. This study investigates the robustness of the Dunnett test within linear mixed-effects models, particularly in the presence of heteroscedasticity, varying group sizes, and different group numbers. Through data simulation, we assessed performance using four key metrics: any-pairwise-power, all-pairwise-power, type I error rate, and false discovery rate. Our findings indicate that the procedure’s performance diminishes significantly when fewer than seven groups are involved, especially when group sizes are small and variances are heterogeneous. Under these circumstances, the type I error rate deviates from the nominal level, despite adequate power estimates being achieved.
Impacts of Coastal Structures on Sediment Transport: A Case Study of Damietta, Egypt
Authors:   Al-Azhar University, Faculty of Engineering, Civil Engineering Department, Egypt, Ibrahim Ahmed S.A. , El-Molla Anas M. , Ahmed Hany G.I.
Published: November 2024

Within the framework of safeguarding Egypt’s coastal lowlands, which face escalating susceptibility to both climate change and human interventions, this study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of sediment transport dynamics and their implications, with Damietta serving as a case study. To achieve this, a thorough review of the existing literature on sediment transport dynamics was conducted. MIKE21 Shoreline Morphology (MIKE21 SM) model was employed to simulate longshore sediment transport (LST) dynamics both before and after the construction of Damietta Port (DP). Analysis of the model output revealed that the model underestimated the influence of waves, primarily originating from the Northwest, on shaping the LST pattern. The results indicate that the construction of DP led to a reduction in average gross longshore sediment transport (GLST) and average net longshore sediment transport (NLST) by 18%, decreasing from 1.1 to 0.9 106 x m3/year, and 42%, decreasing from 0.73 to 0.42 x 106 m3/year, respectively. Additionally, the average monthly GLST and NLST reductions were 17% and 37%, respectively, compared to pre-construction conditions. Consequently, this research underscores the importance of continuous monitoring of sediment transport to ensure shoreline stability and protect surrounding ecological systems. This recommendation is vital for managing and mitigating the impacts of ongoing and future coastal interventions.
