Authors: Morelo Luciana Paula Tessaro , Vieira Geilma Lima
Published: June 2024

Resumo Alternativas vêm sendo estudadas com o intuito de minimizar os grandes impactos ambientais provenientes da produção do cimento e aço. Inclusive, adotando cimentos compostos, com incorporação de materiais alternativos, diminuindo a necessidade de cimento nas misturas. Por conseguinte, este trabalho estudou a viabilidade de incorporação de resíduos siderúrgicos no desempenho mecânico e de durabilidade de argamassas, avaliando a substituição parcial e total do Cimento Portland por escória granulada de alto-forno moída (EGAF) e resíduo proveniente do processo de Dessulfurização de Gases de Combustão (FGD). Os resultados encontrados mostram que a associação desses resíduos em substituição ao cimento melhorou cerca de 40% o desempenho mecânico das argamassas. Além de apresentarem um menor módulo de elasticidade e menor absorção de água por capilaridade, propriedades que aumentam significantemente a durabilidade das matrizes. Os resultados de lixiviação de contaminantes não apresentaram nenhum contaminante em quantidade prejudicial. Os estudos apresentados demonstram que a utilização de FGD e EGAF simultâneos para substituir o Cimento Portland foram satisfatórios, obtendo desempenhos mecânicos e de durabilidade superiores aos de referência, viabilizando a utilização desses resíduos na produção de argamassas com baixo teor de cimento.

Published: June 2024

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo a modelagem estatística do consumo de água per capita em escolas da cidade de Joinville, SC. Levando em consideração que o ambiente escolar é grande responsável pela transmissão de conhecimentos, inclusive acerca da conservação da água, foram selecionadas para objetos de estudo desta pesquisa 26 escolas públicas da rede estadual de ensino fundamental e médio. Efetivou-se um levantamento sobre a utilização da água, por meio de visitas e questionário à direção de cada escola. Os dados coletados permitiram a caracterização das escolas e um diagnóstico preliminar do uso da água, com valores de indicador de consumo variando entre 5,15 e 18,59 litros/aluno/dia. Foi feita a análise de correlação entre as variáveis e posterior modelagem do consumo de água nas escolas, usando regressão linear múltipla, regressão linear Bayesiana e regressão geograficamente ponderada. Os resultados da análise de correlação revelam que quanto maior a renda média no bairro em que a escola está localizada e a razão área por aluno, maior o indicador de consumo. Por outro lado, o número de alunos apresenta correlação negativa com o indicador de consumo. Na modelagem estatística, a variável independente razão área por aluno apresentou-se significativa.

Published: June 2024

Resumo O entendimento do comportamento à força cortante de vigas de concreto armado, especialmente as vigas de concreto reforçado com fibras de aço (CRFA), ainda é um desafio para a comunidade científica, devido à complexidade do comportamento dos materiais. No entanto, a evolução da técnica de correlação por imagem digital (CID) permitiu a obtenção de dados experimentais fundamentais para a modelagem do comportamento mecânico do CRFA, contribuindo para um melhor entendimento do problema e dos mecanismos resistentes à força cortante. Neste sentido, o presente estudo avalia oito vigas de concreto armado, com e sem fibras de aço, utilizando a técnica CID para quantificar os mecanismos resistentes, com foco nos modelos que podem representar a contribuição das fibras. Os resultados revelaram que os mecanismos preponderantes no comportamento à força cortante foram o engrenamento dos agregados e as fibras de aço. Este estudo representa um avanço no entendimento mais racional do comportamento à força cortante, assim como identifica lacunas que requerem estudos mais aprofundados, como a influência das fibras em todos os mecanismos resistentes e a formulação da contribuição das fibras de aço.

Authors: Campos Neto Tiago Ferreira , Cascudo Oswaldo
Published: June 2024

Resumo O crescente uso de modelos contemporâneos de previsão de frentes de carbonatação, como redes neurais artificiais, exige maior rigor sobre a completude dos bancos de dados. Tratar os bancos de dados de profundidades de carbonatação como séries temporais é uma alternativa favorável à garantia da qualidade. Dessa forma, este artigo tem o objetivo de identificar a melhor técnica de imputação de dados ausentes em séries temporais de profundidades de carbonatação de concretos com diferentes composições. Como banco de dados foram utilizadas as informações coletadas de concretos submetidos à carbonatação natural ao longo de 20 anos de exposição pertencentes ao grupo GEDur/UFG. Foram experimentadas dez técnicas de imputação entre as quais destacam-se, foward fill, média móvel, interpolação e filtro de Kalman. Todas as técnicas e análises foram implementadas utilizando linguagem de programação em python dentro de um ambiente de desenvolvimento integrado. Com base nas métricas de desempenho e análise visual, constatou-se que a interpolação spline monotônica cúbica capturou o padrão da curva de profundidade de carbonatação em função do tempo com maior precisão e acurácia, alcançando índice de desempenho de 0,998 e RMSE entre 0,106mm e 0,863mm dependendo da amostra de concreto.

Authors: Fontolan Beatrice Lorenz , Silva Taine Beal , Gava Giovanna Patrícia , Rigo Eduardo , Neves Junior Alex , Possan Edna
Published: June 2024

Abstract This study aimed to estimate CO2 emission and uptake due to the mixed rendering mortars carbonation process, replacing natural aggregate (NA) with recycled aggregate (RA) and lime contents to produce less emissive final material. Mortars were subjected to natural carbonation in three environments. Carbonation depth was evaluated until 119 days of CO2 environmental exposure, and thermogravimetric analysis determined absorbed carbon content. The scenario evaluation considered different depths for the potential CO2 uptake. It was found that the higher the lime content, the higher the carbon emissions and capture. However, the CO2 captured amount (25.41 KgCO2/m³) does not balance its emission from raw materials production. Replacing NA for RA, the mortars reduced emissions associated with production by approximately 8.15%. The scenario simulation proved that constructive control is essential for rendering mortar depths less than 20 mm, the maximum carbon fixation is reached before rendering. Mortars with recycled aggregate are less emissive, which is essential in selecting more sustainable building materials.

Authors: Sanvezzo Rodolfo Coleoni , Benedito André Vitor , Ferrari Vladimir José
Published: June 2024

Resumo Pilares são elementos estruturais de grande importância numa edificação e que durante sua vida útil podem ser submetidos a um processo de reforço para aumento da sua capacidade. O reforço com Polímeros Reforçados com Fibras (PRF) é atraente pela facilidade de aplicação e não modificação da seção. O material vem sendo utilizado em pilares pelo efeito de confinamento. Entretanto, em pilares com seções não circulares, o efeito do confinamento não é eficiente como em circulares. Em geometrias de seções não circulares, parte do concreto não fica devidamente confinado. A pesquisa busca estudar o comportamento do reforço de pilares de concreto retangulares pelo confinamento com manta de fibras de carbono. O objetivo é avaliar o desempenho e a eficiência do reforço em pilares retangulares não armados, com altura de 800 mm e relação entre os lados igual a 2. Foram ensaiados dois grupos de pilares, um sem reforço e outro reforçado. Foram idealizados modelos numéricos com o Método dos Elementos Finitos utilizando-se o Abaqus. O modelo numérico permitiu analisar a distribuição das tensões nos pilares. Os resultados experimentais de força máxima foram comparados com previsões analíticas. Os resultados obtidos indicam eficiência do reforço por meio de melhoria na ductilidade e aumento da capacidade de carga em 30%.

Published: June 2024

Resumo Esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do tratamento térmico na qualidade da adesão de juntas coladas de madeira de alta densidade, Corymbia citriodora e Eucalyptus pellita utilizando os adesivos resorcinol e poliuretano vegetal à base de óleo de mamona. O tratamento térmico foi realizado nas temperaturas de 160 ºC, 180 ºC e 200 °C, sendo comparadas com um lote controle. A qualidade da colagem foi avaliada através do teste de cisalhamento e análise do percentual de falha na madeira. O adesivo de poliuretano de mamona apresentou maiores valores de viscosidade e teor de sólidos, do que o resorcinol formaldeído. O Eucalyptus pellitaexibiu maiores valores de resistência ao cisalhamento que a madeira de Corymbia citriodora. O aumento da temperatura reduziu a resistência ao cisalhamento para ambas as madeiras. A razão entre a resistência da madeira colada com madeira solida, na mesma temperatura de tratamento, muitas vezes atingiu valores superiores a um, indicando a formação de um compósito adesivo-fibras, que aumenta a resistência da interface colada, especialmente para madeira de C. citriodora. De forma geral, houve uma melhor colagem da madeira de Eucalyptus pellita, com resorcinol formaldeído, e está exibiu menor degradação térmica, devido à menor perda de massa.

Published: June 2024

Resumo A NBR 7190-3 (ABNT, 2022) apresenta diferentes métodos para determinar o módulo de elasticidade da madeira, permitindo a adoção de equivalência entre o módulo de elasticidade na compressão (Ec0) e na tração (Et0). Por outro lado, não apresenta uma forma de estimar o módulo de elasticidade na flexão (EM0), e tais estimativas não consideram a variação das estruturas anatômicas das espécies. Diante dessa lacuna, é necessário avaliar se essas equações são válidas para diferentes espécies. O presente artigo avaliou as propriedades elásticas de três espécies: Cumaru (Dipteryxodorata), Marupá (Simarouba amara Aubl., Simaroubaceae) e Roxinho (Peltogyne spp., Leguminosa). Para isso, realizou-se o ensaio não destrutivo de flexão, seguido de ensaios à compressão e à tração. Imagens microscópicas foram comparadas, para compreender a influência das estruturas anatômicas nas propriedades de rigidez. Os resultados confirmaram a equivalência entre Ec0 e Et0. A maior concentração de parênquimas no Cumaru e no Roxinho é responsável pelos valores estatisticamente inferiores de EM0 em relação ao Ec0 e Et0.
COM A PALAVRA, OS ESTUDANTES: DA VERDADE DO ESPAÇO AOS ESPAÇOS DA VERDADE NA ESCOLA
Authors: Pollnow Camila , Soler Rodrigo , Busarello Flávia Roberta
Published: June 2024

O artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de mestrado que foi realizada (2023) em uma escola de Educação Básica localizada no Médio Vale do Itajaí/SC. Foram sujeitos desta pesquisa 18 estudantes do 7º ano. Ao longo de nossa narrativa, exploramos a governamentalidade e os processos de subjetivação no espaço escolar, dando visibilidade aos estudantes. O estudo investiga de que maneira os conceitos filosóficos de Michel Foucault podem ser utilizados para problematizar o espaço escolar, empregando a metodologia da Pesquisa Ação-Participante (PAP) proposta por Fals-Borda (2009). A metodologia adotada buscou construir uma relação mais horizontal entre a pesquisadora e os sujeitos, seguindo as contribuições da PAP e enfatizando a interação mútua e a transformação. A abordagem valorizou a educação libertadora e a colaboração ativa entre educador e educando – seguindo os princípios freireanos –, alinhando-se com uma visão democrática e engajada no processo educacional. Os resultados revelam que a estrutura escolar vai além da organização funcional do espaço, transmitindo uma semiologia complexa de símbolos estéticos, culturais e ideológicos. Conclui-se que os espaços escolares carregam dispositivos que modulam percepções e interações (entre todos os sujeitos que os frequentam), destacando a arquitetura escolar como um componente crucial na construção de significados e práticas educacionais. Refletimos sobre os processos de subjetivação e a governamentalidade na Educação, em que o estudante é visto como resultado da adesão a um modelo de aprendizagem, o que faz com que a escola não seja apenas um local para a construção de conhecimento, mas de elaboração de tecnologias de governamentalidade.

Authors: Duru Kamacı Ümran
Published: June 2024

As known, composite films containing different metal ions provide improvement in the properties of drug release systems. In this study, it was aimed to prepare composite films containing different metal ions for DOX release, and the effect of metal ions on drug release, swelling, and thermal properties were investigated. The structural characterization of the composite films was carried out using FT-IR, SEM, and TG analysis techniques. SEM images showed that the metal-free film was composed of a homogeneous structure while the calcium composite films consisted of a non-homogenous surface. Also, thermal analysis results showed that the thermal stability increased with the addition of metal ions to the composite film matrix. The swelling and drug-release behavior of the composite films were also studied, and metal ions-containing films exhibited a higher swelling performance and drug-release behavior than the metal-free composite.

Published: June 2024

Environmental pollution and population growth necessitate more efficient production processes. Organic whey, which is a low-cost substrate for the food industry, constitutes a promising raw material with its low cost and chemical content for biotechnological processes. This study investigated the pigment production capabilities of bacteria isolated from whey, an industrial waste. Among the isolated bacteria, 4 were determined to be effective pigment producing bacteria. The pigment was extracted from 4 isolates. Pigment characterization was performed by UV spectrophotometer (OD470-OD580) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). As a result of the spectrum scanning, it was determined that all pigments gave the maximum absorbance value in the range of 500 nm to 505 nm. In FTIR analysis, all extracted pigments showed characteristic absorption bands of carotenoids between 400 nm and 520 nm. The FTIR peaks obtained from 1469 cm-1 and 1726 cm-1 regions are known as the fingerprint regions of microbial pigments for biorecolorants. When the results obtained in our study are compared with the literature data, the absorbance values obtained show that the pigment produced is carotenoid and its derivative.

Genotyping Wheat Grains to Identify Parental Donation of Alleles v1
Authors: Dorussen Delfi , Burrows Samuel , Di Santolo Giorgia , Borrill Philippa
Published: June 2024

In wheat research, KASP (Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR) is widely used to determine the genotypes of progeny from large, segregating populations. However, DNA extraction and genotyping is generally performed on seedling leaf tissue, and thus genotypes that affect seed formation/germination cannot be detected. We have developed a method that relies on DNA extraction from wheat grains to capture these missing genotypes. Furthermore, DNA extraction and genotyping of the endosperm, rather than the embryo, means that we can determine, for each individual, whether an allele is inherited maternally or paternally. This can be used to determine whether an allele is deleterious when inherited either maternally or paternally, or whether particular combinations of alleles are deleterious when inherited from the same parent, but not two separate parents. Moreover, the embryo remains intact throughout this protocol and is capable of germination, allowing adult plants to be recovered from genotypes of interest.

Authors: Tikhomirov A. L. , Kazenashev V. V. , Dubinin A. A. , Sadikova R. R. , Maminova M. V. , Globa J. S. , Bukharov A. V.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Hydatidosis is a severe parasitic disease caused by tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus widely spread in some endemic areas all over the world that primarily targets liver, lung, bones, muscles well as pelvis in casuistic cases. Due to the lack of pathognomonic signs as well as low prevalence rate of hydatid cysts in such anatomic sites, a differential diagnosis for relevant gynecological pathologies may be substantially complicated. Compared with common gynecological disease such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cyst and malignancies uterine hydatidosis may be identified only in 0.16 % cases.

Aim: to present a clinical case of uterine hydatid cyst in order to optimize algorithms for differential diagnosis of primary pelvic echinococcosis and gynecological pathology, which is necessary for successfully conducted timely surgical treatment.

Clinical case. In 2023, patient K. complained of dysuric phenomena and a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic area. Based on the anamnesis, clinical picture, laboratory and instrumental research methods, it was decided to perform surgical treatment. The patient underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and removal of ¾ hydatid cyst. The obtained material was used for histological examination to verify the diagnosis.

Results. Differential diagnosis of uterine echinococcosis is most often carried out with cystic or dysembryogenetic tumors, purulent or tuberculous abscesses, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors, and uterine fibroids. Features of the MR picture, such as a thick compacted wall, the lack of internal septa, parietal and papillary outgrowths, as well as a solid component, allowed to suspect parasitic genesis of the neoplasm.

Conclusion. While treating patients with cystic neoplasms of the pelvic area referred from endemic areas, echinococcosis should be included in the list of differential diagnostic searches.
Exploring the bright side of dark personalities: The dark triad as predictors of innovative work behavior in managers
Authors: Zuberi Marium Arslan , Khattak Arif
Published: June 2024

There has been a growing interest in studying dysfunctional personality traits in the workplace. In line with this trend, this study examines how the Dark Triad personalities (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) can predict innovative work behavior. Additionally, the study builds on Trait Activation Theory and proposes a moderating effect of training satisfaction on this relationship. The purpose of this study is to understand if the Dark Triad traits predict innovative behavior while simultaneously examining the role of training satisfaction in channeling these traits toward innovative behavior. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on the five largest telecommunication companies in Pakistan. The data gathered was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results established a positive relationship between each trait of the Dark Triad and innovative work behavior. Moreover, training satisfaction was found to moderate the relationship between the psychopathy trait and innovative work behavior. In light of these findings, the study contributes to personality-behavior research in organizations by demonstrating that the Dark Triad predicts innovative work behavior in managers and that the innovative behaviors associated with the psychopathy trait can be enhanced in the presence of training satisfaction.

Published: June 2024

Objectives: To observe the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA), and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive S. aureus, this study was carried out in sheep and sheep keepers in Van, Türkiye.
Materials and methods: S. aureus strains were recovered from 200 privates nose swab samples from sheep and sheep keepers between July 2019 and June 2020. Methicillin resistance was determined by the oxacillin and cefoxitin disc diffusion method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin, and mecA gene detection. VRSA resistance was determined by the disc diffusion method, the MIC of vancomycin, and screening for the vanA and vanB genes. The PVL gene was also detected in MRSA strains.
Results: Fifteen of the 44 isolated strains of S. aureus were MRSA (2 of them were VRSA) and 29 were methicillin-sensitive S. aureus. All MRSA isolates were highly resistant to oxacillin (MIC 256 mg/mL). When compared with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the sensitivity and specificity of the oxacillin disc diffusion method were 93.33% and 100% respectively; for the cefoxitin disc diffusion method and MIC of oxacillin both the sensitivity and specificity were 100%. Four (26.67%) MRSA isolates were positive for PVL genes which were also mecA positive. The MRSA strains were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (93.33%), ceftriaxone (86.63%), azithromycin (73.33%), gentamycin (73.33%), and amoxiclav (66.67%). All (100%) MRSA strains were sensitive to linezolid and 86.67% were sensitive to vancomycin. The VRSA strains had an MIC 256 mg/mL for vancomycin and were positive for the vanB gene but negative for the vanA gene.

This work aims to determine the effect of the travel preferences of domestic and foreign tourists visiting Gaziantep province in Türkiye and their participation in destination food and travel activities, as well as examining the mediating role of destination familiarity. The research model includes three sub-factors for travel lifestyle: preference for proximity and comfort, interest in new and local culture, and preference for activities and adventures. While preference for destination food activities has two sub-factors: interest in food activities and tasting local flavors. Additionally, destination familiarity and preference for destination travel activities are the measures used in the research model. The research sample consists of domestic and foreign tourists visiting Gaziantep between March and April 2022; 418 questionnaires were filled in by participants chosen by random sampling. Data analysis was made using SPSS and SmartPLS. As reflective and formative scales were used together in the data analysis, the partial least squares method (PLS-SEM) was used. The research results suggest that preference for proximity and comfort, interest in new and local culture, preference for activities and adventures, and destination familiarity have a positive significant effect on interest in food activities. While interest in the new and local culture and preference for activities and adventures, have a positive significant effect on tasting local flavors; preference for proximity and comfort and destination familiarity do not have such an effect. It was also found that preference for proximity and comfort, interest in the new and local culture, preference for activities and adventures, and destination familiarity have a positive and significant effect on preferences for destination travel activities. Lastly, interest in new and local culture and preference for activities and adventures have a positive significant effect on destination familiarity while preference for proximity and comfort do not.

Help-seeking practices and behaviours in organizations and AI-driven chatbot: a scoping review
Authors: Pagnozzi Filomena , Renkema Maarten , Antonelli Gilda
Published: June 2024

We present a scoping review that considers 25 papers and explores the growing phenomenon of the use of chatbots, in the context of help-seeking dynamics among workers facing work-related challenges. This phenomenon is significant from both social and technological perspectives, as it raises essential questions about the evolving role of technology in shaping the way individuals seek help in a changing work environment. Our study aims to examine how technology, such as chatbots, shape employees help-seeking practices and behaviors, using a Socio-Technical System approach (STS). Our analysis reveals that help-seeking comes mainly from the "social subsystem". In fact, it starts with individual needs and willingness to seek help, influenced by personal and group characteristics. The work environment and context also significantly influence employees' help-seeking behaviors. However, technology developments, new ways of work, and organizational transformations are redefining help-seeking processes, requiring the development of new processes, for which leaders play a crucial role. The integration of chatbots into this landscape introduces challenges and opportunities, impacting not only individuals but also organizational structure. Based on the reviewed papers we present directions for future research on AI-driven chatbots and help-seeking.

Este trabajo analiza la evolución de las herramientas de comunicación de la Universidad de la República en Uru guay, entre la elección de Mario Cassinoni como Rector en 1956 y el golpe de Estado y la intervención de la Universidad en 1973. Este período se caracteriza por la creciente represión y censura, la radicalización política de amplios sectores de la población y la profundización de la crisis económica que atravesaba el país. La presentación de este proceso de emergencia, diversificación y sistematización de una estrategia de comunicación es un marco que nos brinda la posibilidad de discutir varios asuntos tales como la representación dicotómica del enfrentamiento entre la “prensa grande” y la Universidad, la evolución de la concepción de la relación entre la Universidad y la “opinión pública” o la paulatina formación de un “frente interno” entre los actores universitarios, necesario en pos de enfrentar los frecuentes atropellos contra la Casa de estudio y sus integrantes.

Canada’s Official Languages Act, Border Imperialism, and the Surface Tension of Water
Authors: Martin Sonia
Published: June 2024

This paper examines how Canada’s Official Languages Act (OLA) reinforces the socio-political constructs of language barriers and linguistic borders. Questions addressed are: in Canada, who do linguistic borders serve, how do linguistic borders function, and what are the effects of linguistic borders? The theoretical framework draws from raciolinguistics and border imperialism. The method, a socio-diagnostic critique, juxtaposes the discursive practices of the OLA with border governance strategies. Results highlight how linguistic border governance creates the conditions for language-based discrimination to thrive. The paper concludes with a call to disinvest from the OLA, and a turning toward the water-language connection.
¿Una diplomacia a la vasca? El equipo Euzkadi y su gira internacional
Authors: Ibarrondo Merino Iker
Published: June 2024

En los albores del fracasado golpe de Estado del 18 de julio de 1936, que desencadenó una cruenta Guerra Civil, el territorio vasco describiría una serie de peculiaridades, que le otorgarían un cariz propio. Más allá de las especificidades, las cuales se pueden observar en el tipo de gobierno, configurado durante el referido episodio bélico en la citada demarcación geográfica,  que se mantuvo fiel a la legalidad republicana, emergería con fuerza un tipo de diplomacia con objetivos duales, de defensa de la legalidad de un Estado y publicitación de otro ente, el cual aspiraba a nacer y escapaba a las lógicas existentes. Este modelo de diplomacia ha podido ser puesto en valor gracias a los análisis de diversas fuentes de archivo, hemerográficas (locales, europeas y americanas) y mediante el empleo del método analítico sintético. De esta forma, podemos aseverar que en el territorio vasco fiel a la II República se desarrolló un modelo de diplomacia a la vasca, que fue novedosa en el territorio peninsular
Les Jeux méditerranéens et la création du Comité international des Jeux méditerranéens (CIJM), des solutions aux rivalités du monde du sport méditerranéen ? (1947-1961)

En 1923, Pierre de Coubertin formula el deseo de Juegos africanos, pero son rápidamente rechazados por las tutelas coloniales británicas y francesas (Deville Danthu 1997; Chatziefstathiou y Henry 2012). Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la concretización de este proyecto sigue siendo imposible, yaque África sigue bajo el yugo colonial, excepto África del Norte y Oriente Próximo que se convierten en independientes. El espacio mediterráneo puede apoderarse del deporte mediante la creación de CON para representarse como un mundo (Becker 2006) e integrarse en el movimiento olímpico (Adami 2004). Así, en 1947, el miembro olímpico egipcio Mohamed Taher Pacha propone el proyecto de Juegos Mediterráneos (JM) que hacen temer una competencia en los Juegos Olímpicos. En efecto, desde 1951, los Juegos Regionales están en plena explosión (Errais y Fatès 1989) y al año siguiente, el COI recientemente presidido por el americano Avery Brundage regula y controla los Juegos Regionales con el patrocinio olímpico (Guttmann 2002). Sin embargo, si bien un comité organizador permitió las tres primeras ediciones (Egipto, 1951; España, 1955; Líbano, 1959), en cambio el Comité Internacional de los Juegos Mediterráneos (CIJM) fue creado en 1961 bajo el impulso del miembro olímpico Gabriel Gemayel (Líbano). Así pues, ¿puede el CIJM ser una solución institucional (Dobry 2009) a las rivalidades de este nuevo espacio mediterráneo? De los archivos del CEO-CIO, del CIJM, y de la prensa, por una parte, nos plantearemos el contexto de creación de estos JM que reflejan lasrelaciones de fuerza entre el mundo del deporte mediterráneo y el mundo olímpico y, por otra, analizaremos cómo la institucionalización del CIJM puede ser un instrumento de influencia árabe y de tercerosglobalista que pretende paliar estas rivalidades.
El apoyo de México y Cuba al equipo de football “Euzkadi” y a la España republicana durante la Guerra Civil
Authors: Gounot André
Published: June 2024

El equipo Euzkadi se creó en el contexto de la guerra civil española a raíz de la llamada del lehendakari (presidente vasco) José Antonio Aguirre. Además de promocionar la España republicana y la cultura nacional vasca, su principal tarea fue recaudar dinero para fines humanitarias. Tras haber disputado partidos en cinco países europeos y en la Unión Soviética entre abril y agosto de 1937, el equipo decidió seguir su gira por la América del Sur en vez de regresar a su país natal conquistado por los sublevados. Analizamos las estancias que efectuó en México y Cuba hasta verano de 1939 desde el punto de vista de sus vínculos con la diplomacia oficial, pública y paralela. El objetivo principal es identificar y explicar las diferencias y convergencias de intereses entre los gobiernos, las instituciones deportivas nacionales y la FIFA.
The Collection of Laws of the Tuvan People's Republic as a Book Monument
Authors: Maadyr M. S.
Published: June 2024

The Tuvan People's Republic, as a sovereign state with a socialist orientation, did not exist for long: from 1921 to 1944. During the period of 23 years, just over 500 books, brochures, newspapers and magazines in Mongolian, Tuvan and Russian languages came out of print. They were published by various departments, the Press Committee, and the Tuvan United State Publishing House as well. To date over 150 works have survived, most of which – in the only copy. The main owners of these book monuments became the National Library named after A. S. Pushkin, the National Museum named after Aldan-Maadyr, the National Archive and the Tuvan Institute of Humanities, Applied and Socio-Economic Research. For example, in the specialized sector of the National Library there are more than 60 printed works published in the Tuvan People's Republic. The object of the research is the “Collection of laws and basic regulations of the Government of the Tuvan People's Republic” that is stored in the archive of the Tuvan Institute of Humanities, Applied and Socio-Economic Research. The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of the period of preparation and release of the collection, its structure and content. The results of the study will expand the understanding of the book culture of the Tuvan People’s Republic and, in general, the cultural heritage of the republic in modern conditions.
Readers' Awareness of Scientific Achievements and Demand for Popular Science Journals in the Public Library

Published: June 2024

The significant role of science in the development of all spheres of society is undeniable, it ensures progress and improvement of the quality of life, promotes the introduction of innovative technologies in all areas of human activity. Today, the issue of popularization of scientific achievements is on the agenda, as well as the development of information channels that will allow the society better understand the importance of scientific discoveries and their impact on culture, identity, values and human behavior. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the level of readers’ information awareness of the latest scientific achievements and the library role in it.The article examines the place of the library in the system of relations between scientists and the general public. It records that journals that regularly publish fresh and relevant materials are an effective means of popularizing science. The awareness of readers of public libraries about scientific achievements is analyzed and the demand for popular science journals available in the collections of the State Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPSTL SB RAS) is studied.The authors conclude that: 1) popular science journals for library users are not the main source of knowledge about the development of science and technology, but there is a steady demand for them, and there is also a tendency to expand the names of the requested journals, accompanied by a simultaneous increase in their issuance; 2) requests for popular science journals,  with a few exceptions, do not depend on gender indicators; 3) people over the age of 60 constitute the bulk of readers of popular science periodicals; 4) more often, popular science journals from the SPSTL SB RAS collections are requested by specialists with higher education. It is noted that the level of education of library users becomes one of the main factors determining the demand for popular science journals. The list of journals from the SPSTL SB RAS collections, which are in the greatest demand, has been determined. Thus, the library, not being a direct scientific communicator, but having popular science journals in its collections, performs an important intermediary function in popularization of science.
The effects of climate warming on large-scale atmospheric systems of the Northern Hemisphere

In the present study, we examine the impact of climate warming on the variability of the main climatic drivers in the northern hemisphere, using 40 years (1979-2018) of ERA-Interim reanalysis data. We applied Sen’s slope estimator and the Mann-Kendall significance test to identify regions with significant variability of 500-1000 hPa thickness. The findings reveal that climate warming is particularly pronounced at latitudes ranging from 80º to 90º and also in subtropical regions. The increase in thickness is most notable in mid-latitudes during the summer season, owing to climate warming. The steeper trend slope observed in autumn indicates a faster warming rate compared to other seasons. Moreover, despite climate warming, significant trends in large-scale atmospheric circulation systems demonstrate the strengthening of the Siberian high-pressure in winter and autumn. Additionally, a segment of the core of the Azores high-pressure system has also experienced strengthening during winter. Conversely, the monsoon and Aleutian low-pressure systems have weakened in spring and winter, respectively. The subtropical high-pressure system exhibits a positive and significant trend in winter, spring, and summer, aligning with the positive significant trends observed in atmospheric thickness, thereby confirming the effects of climate warming.
