Authors: Kundu Nanda , Uddin Md
Published: September 2023

Climate change and its variability cause different stresses that negatively affecting the pulse crop specially mungbean in the southern region of Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to examine the climate change risk perception of mungbean growers and vulnerability of mungbean in the coastal districts of Patuakhali and Barguna in Bangladesh. Using a structured questionnaire with face to face interviews, 120 samples were collected from Patuakhali and Barguna district during the period of 2022-23. The multistage sampling technique was used in selecting the sample. The collected data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive statistics i.e. sum, averages and percentages) and mathematical analyses i.e. Standardized Climate Change Risk Perception Index (SCCRPI) and Vulnerability Index. The study found that farmers in these regions grow mungbean during late Robi and kharif-ii season. In Patuakhali district, the highest SCCRPI value was for drought (77) and lowest value was for salinity (33). In contrast, the highest SCCRPI values in the Barguna district was for drought (75) and lowest value was for salinity (33), respectively. Farmers in both districts identified drought as the greatest concern, followed by insect attack, rainfall, disease infestation, water logging and salinity. The vulnerability index for mungbean in Patuakhali and Barguna district, respectively, is 0.34 and 0.35, which indicates a medium level of vulnerability and indicates that one should use improved technologies, stress tolerant variety that can minimize risk from unfavorable climatic, social, and biological conditions. Farmers responded that three times harvest was the main reason that hinder the production process along with others climatic, biological and social factors. Development of synchronized variety, availability of good quality seed, digging canals, proper use of sluice gate can increase the yield of mungbean in the study areas.

Morphology helps in studying the external features of an individual, including the size, shape, structure of the animals and in determining the evolutionary relationships among organisms. Current study was undertaken to investigate the morphological variations between the two populations of blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa collected from the south-east (west coast of Maheshkhali Island, Cox’s Bazar; S1) and south-west (Jamuna River Estuary near Ishawrypur, Shemnagar, Shatkhira; S2) coasts of Bangladesh. Samples were drawn from the intertidal region during low-tide by hand-picking with the aid of local people in March 2020 from both sites. Fifteen primary parameters, and 27 secondary parameters obtained from the ratios of different primary parameters were studied to compare the values between the two populations. Out of 15 primary morphological parameters, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the populations. Among the 27 secondary morphological parameters, only 4 parameters were significantly different (p<0.05) between the two populations. The statistically different parameters were shell length (SL)/wet tissue weight (TWW), shell height (SH)/wet tissue weight (TWW), shell thickness (ST)/wet tissue weight (TWW) and condition index (CI). The ratios of shell dimensions and wet tissue weight were significantly higher (p<0.05) in S2 when compared with S1 indicated that S1 population could be more economically viable due to their relatively higher edible meat content. The CIs were significantly higher (p<0.05) in S1 population than the CIs of S2 population. The values of CIs reflected that S1 population had better health condition than S2 population. The ratios of different shell measurements did not vary significantly implied that both populations were homogenous in size, shape and structure. Morphological analyses of different populations of T. granosa revealed that habitat could play a vital role in morphological variations.

Published: September 2023

During the manufacture of ceramic restorations there is an important step of finishing and polishing and the effects of different types of these procedures on the surface characteristics of ceramics are not known for sure. Aim: To evaluate the effects of various surface treatments and immersion in coloring substances on the roughness, microhardness, and color stability of CAD-CAM monolithic ceramics. Materials and Method: The ceramics used were lithium disilicate reinforced with zirconium dioxide (Suprinity), lithium disilicate (E.max) or leucite (Empress). They were subjected to two surface treatments: glazing (group G) (n=20) or mechanical polishing (group P) (n=20). Then they were divided into two subgroups (n=10) to be treated with the staining substance (coffee or water). Roughness, microhardness and color were measured before and after treatment. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and multiple comparisons were performed with Tukey tests at 5% significance level. Results: Roughness was lower in all tested ceramics after polishing than after glazing. Microhardness was the same for polished and glazed E.max, higher in glazed than polished Empress, and higher in polished than glazed Suprinity. Analysis of the effects of glazing and polishing on the individual ceramics showed that the ∆E2000 and ∆WID data of the E.max ceramic subjected to polishing showed greater change. Mechanical polishing is a good option for surface treatment of monolithic ceramics. Conclusion: Glazing was inferior and less satisfactory than polishing. Glazing generates changes that can lead to color instability. Keywords: ceramics - dental polishing - materials testing.
Security Culture as an Expression of Values
Authors: Mauro Aaron
Published: September 2023

As digital technology rapidly evolves, researchers in the Digital Humanities (DH) face the challenge of securing their work and protecting stakeholders across the research life cycle. Security practices, encompassing data integrity, software assurance, and authenticated access, must align with the values of openness, transparency, and collaboration that underpin scholarly research. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats, coupled with the politicization of research and the rise of autocratic governments, necessitates a holistic approach to security that considers both cyber and physical dimensions. This paper explores the intersection of security culture and DH research, emphasizing the importance of trust, informed consent, and ethical collaboration. It argues that security practices should be user-centric, participatory, and transparent, reflecting the values and goals of researchers and participants. By integrating security best practices into research methods, scholars can mitigate risks, protect research assets, and ensure the continued availability and impact of scholarship in a world where threats are constantly evolving.
Describing the HSS Commons: The View from Metadata
Authors: Bullard Julia
Published: September 2023

In the first year since the launch of the HSS Commons, members have added over 100 publications and the features of the repository’s design are beginning to manifest. Building from Kim Martin’s talk on the possibilities for serendipity in browsing the Commons (Martin, 2022), I explore the descriptive metadata for this first cohort of publications, with particular focus on author-supplied keywords. Information studies predicts that author-supplied metadata enacts diverse sense of the intent and operation of fields, a tendency toward very high-level or general terminology, and the relevance of interaction design choices. This paper presents the metadata practices already visible in the HSS Commons and suggests interaction and maintenance design that can facilitate serendipitous discovery without compromising on the usability and creativity of the platform.
From Private Circles to Public Circulation: Aldus Manutius & the Emergence of the “Public Sphere” in Renaissance Italy
Authors: Bordini Alessandra
Published: September 2023

The establishment of the Aldine Press in 1494 marked a pivotal moment in the history of printing and publishing in Western Europe. The range of technological and typographical innovations introduced by Renaissance educator-turned-publisher Aldus Manutius (ca. 1451–1515), as well as their lasting impact on our cultural history, has been extensively documented. However, a key aspect of Aldus’s larger cultural and intellectual mission remains understudied and merits further attention: the cultivation of a “rational-critical” literary public through the printing and wide circulation of high-quality editions of classical works. Drawing from critical reformulations of Habermas’s theory of “the public sphere” (specifically as revisited by Michael Warner), this paper seeks to investigate and understand how, and to what extent, Aldus’s expansive *pedagogical* and *civic* project contributed to the development of a proto-form of public discourse, in the modern sense, by leveraging the potential of the printing press to reach wider publics, beyond private familial and scholarly circles.

This paper’s focus on *Chowdr*, one prototype example from the *Virtual Realizations* project, is intended to initiate larger critical conversations about play, community, and open social scholarship values by using a food-based social networking app. This prototype is designed to create meaningful engagement among users by having them share their personal recipes for seafood chowder, and in doing so, playfully connect with their community and their food culture.
Effort allocation during speech perception: Insights from pupillometry
Authors:   , Lebiecka-Johansen Patrycja Alina
Published: September 2023

Untreated hearing impairment affects daily-life communication, increases likelihood of social isolation and risk of cognitive decline in later life. Effortful listening is one of the major complaints of adults with hearing loss. Pupillometry (measurement of pupil size) has been identified as a suitable method to measure and quantify objectively listening effort allocation. Previous studies showed that the pupil size is sensitive to both acoustic and memory task demands during listening as well as to hearing status. In daily life listening, however, more factors are playing a role, and these may also influence the pupil size. One example is luminance. This factors still hinders use of pupillometry outside the controlled laboratory setting. Therefore, there is a need to identify and develop pupil measures that can disentangle the effects of task demand during speech perception from the effects of illumination level on the pupil response. This thesis had two main aims. Part I aimed to identify pupil measures sensitive to changes in the acoustic task demands (signal-to-noise ratio, type of background noise) that would reveal alterations to effort allocation during speech perception due to the interference from a non-target speech, change in luminance, or in presence of additional task demands (i.e., due to an additional recall task). Part II aimed to apply the most promising pupil measures to predict likelihood of a successful recognition or recall task performance and investigate elements of the hearing-related alterations to effort allocation during speech perception.

This thesis provides for a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of pupil measures potentially informative of effort allocation during speech perception. Findings from the Part I can be used to guide the selection of analysis tool for the further research on (listening) effort allocation. Both single-value pupil measures (PPD, MPD, BPS) as well as time series analysis techniques (cluster-based permutation, GCA, PCA) were found to be sensitive to substantial changes in the acoustic task demands (e.g., speech intelligibility at 50% vs. 100%). However, time series analysis techniques were further found to be sensitive to subtle changes in SNR. Besides, they revealed alterations to effort allocation within a single sentence perception due to an additional recall task, presence of an interfering talker or change in luminance. Findings from Part II indicate that likelihood of successful task performance in a word recall task can be predicted from a single-value pupil measure (PPD) extracted from a pupil response during word presentation. Although, a combination of single-value and temporal measures (PPD, BPS, PCA) would be necessary to predict performance in a more complex task such as sentence recognition or differences in hearing-related alterations to effort allocation.
Background of Urdu Script

Published: September 2023

The story of the origin of script is hidden in the deep veils of the past and to reach it, the origin of language has to be considered. It is certain that the language was born before the script and reached the destination of meaningful words after completing a cultural journey of many centuries. Script refers to the written expression of a language through specific words. Every script has its own limitations as per its use and applicability. All languages have specific scripts with certain qualities and shortcomings. Oriental languages also use different scripts with many variations such as ‘Naskh’, ‘Kufi’ and ‘Nastaliq’. Origin and development of these scripts in relation to the Urdu language and its script have been analyzed in this article with special historic perspective.

Policing Suspect Communities: Intergenerational Black British Experiences

As the debate on how to improve the police-community relationship continues, frequent and often hostile policing remains an inescapable part of life for many Black Britons. This article analyses the historical and contemporary policing experiences of Black communities in a north London suburb. Using data from 58 ethnographic semi-structured and unstructured qualitative interviews with young people, adults/elders and community workers, it explores the lived experience of generations of Black British communities labelled “suspect communities”. Despite police efforts to improve trust and confidence in Black communities, frequent and often hostile policing remains an inescapable part of life for many Black Britons. Negative experiences of policing over time are found to have created deeply embedded cultural narratives about how the police treat Black people that are transmitted across generations. These narratives provide conceptual frameworks to interpret information about the police which may be more powerful than other sources. The data illustrates that negative community perceptions of the police are the inevitable result of decades of racialized policing in Britain. This has significant implications for the present and future relationship between the police and Black Britons, representative of the place of Black Britons in the British state.

The study examines how population growth and climate change affect human development in Pakistan. The rapid population growth and escalating climate change impacts in the country necessitate an understanding of their implications for human development. The study utilized time series data from 1990 to 2020 and employed descriptive analysis, an Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, a unit root test, and a bounds test for cointegration to analyze the data. The study considered the variables for analysis, such as Human Development, Climate change, and Population growth. The findings revealed that population growth and climate change have significantly influenced human development outcomes in Pakistan, with higher population growth and climate change leading to lower human development levels in the long run. The implications of the study underscored the need for urgent action to address the negative impacts of rapid population growth and climate change on human development in Pakistan. The study derived several suggestions from the findings, including implementing a family planning program, investing in education, promoting climate change awareness campaigns, integrating climate change considerations into national policies, empowering local communities, and encouraging research and innovations in sustainable development and climate change adaptation.

Published: September 2023

The probation system, as a functional part of criminal justice administration, deals with low-risk offenders to rehabilitate and bring them into mainstream socio-cultural and family life. The probation system provides opportunities to convicted offenders conditionally and releases them under the supervision of a probation officer. This empirical highlighted the importance and effectiveness of the probation system and its impacts on probationers. The primary data was collected from probationers who had experience imprisonment before probation order from ten districts of Punjab province. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, and results revealed that the probationers who were ex-prisoners perceived the probation period very positively, with significant impacts on their physical, psychological, and social life. The probation system was found effective in the process of rehabilitation of offenders under criminal justice administration. Therefore, the offenders incarcerated for minor offenses may be released on probation orders instead of constructing new prisons.

Objetivo: Analisar o desenvolvimento da assessoria e monitoramento aos municípios goianos realizado in loco pelo Centro Colaborador em Alimentação e Nutrição do Escolar da Universidade Federal de Goiás (CECANE/UFG). Metodologia: Estudo transversal, quali-quantitativo analítico realizado a partir da coleta de dados em 32 municípios previamente selecionados pelo Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE), durante o desenvolvimento da assessoria e monitoramento. Os monitores do CECANE/UFG permaneceram cinco dias em cada município para a obtenção do diagnóstico e aspectos relacionados à execução do Programa Nacional de Alimentação do Escolar (PNAE) e, a partir de então, pactuou-se um plano de ação. Após 30 dias, foi realizada a primeira assessoria remota para averiguar quais ações haviam sido concluídas, se encontravam em andamento ou não foram concluídas com suas respectivas justificativas, inclusive facilidades e dificuldades da execução do plano proposto. A segunda assessoria, realizada 90 dias após a pactuação, consistia em avaliar a execução das ações que estavam em andamento com a questão norteadora: “Qual foi o papel do CECANE/UFG na execução do PNAE no seu município”. Resultados: Dos municípios avaliados, 28 (87,50%) cumpriram o protocolo do estudo na íntegra e, foi possível averiguar que 180 (71,74%) ações “não concluídas” possuíram como justificativas as dificuldades em processos administrativos e em recursos humanos. Quanto à execução das ações pactuadas, o plano de ação foi considerado aspecto facilitador e o recurso financeiro aspecto dificultador. Constatou-se que o monitoramento/assessoria forneceu suporte, conhecimento e esclarecimentos sobre a execução do PNAE, porém, observou-se confusão sobre o papel do CECANE/UFG considerado como órgão fiscalizador. Conclusão: E  videnciou-se o CECANE/UFG como ponto de apoio aos municípios goianos com contribuições para o aprimoramento das suas atividades como referência regional em assistência técnico-operacional no âmbito do PNAE.

A água desempenha um papel importante em todas as nossas atividades diárias e seu consumo está aumentando dia a dia devido ao aumento da população, e das atividades agrícolas e industriais. A dessalinização é um processo importante para atender à crescente demanda por água doce, diante disso, estudos sobre o uso de energia solar para impulsionar a dessalinização da água estão sendo realizados ativamente. Este artigo relata sobre as tecnologias no sistema de dessalinização solar ativa, utilizadas para melhorar a taxa de produção de água doce. Muitos trabalhos foram conduzidos sobre tal assunto, várias configurações de pré-aquecimento externo e equipamentos elétricos integram à bandeja coletora para torná-la eficiente. O dessalinizador ativo apresenta, algum auxílio externo, como coletores solares, coletores de placas planas, coletores de tubos evacuados e acoplados a unidade de dessalinização. Observa-se que a produção de água doce aumenta notavelmente com a integração de uma fonte de armazenamento de energia. Percebe-se também que o fornecimento de água quente no pré-aquecimento do destilador solar aumenta a temperatura da água da bandeja e consequentemente, aumenta a taxa de evaporação, salienta-se que o modelo de multi-estágios produz mais destilado do que o produzido pelo destilador solar comum, devido a maior área superficial da bandeja do dessalinizador. Sugere-se que mais estudos sejam realizados para melhorar as tecnologias de dessalinização solar, especialmente nos campos de acoplamento com armazenamento de energia e várias fontes de calor integradas ao sistema. Por fim, este artigo tem como objetivo fornecer uma revisão das tecnologias de dessalinização solar ativa.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo visa discorrer sobre a apropriação indireta dos elementos da natureza pelo mercado imobiliário por meio de um estudo de caso em Palmas-TO, observado sobretudo no entorno dos parques urbanos e das praias fluviais da região central da cidade. Há uma produção de edifícios residenciais altamente verticalizados e elitizados nesta área, somado à apropriação das áreas verdes públicas em suas propagandas de comercialização como o “quintal” dos condomínios e pela vista privilegiada da natureza. Esta dinâmica alimenta a cultura consumista-individualista na sociedade contemporânea, transformando a natureza em produto a ser consumido pelas elites, como símbolo de exclusividade e status social, em detrimento de seu aspecto social, político e econômico para a emancipação coletiva da sociedade. O trabalho amplia a investigação sobre a desigualdade social em Palmas, onde trabalhos já desenvolvidos a discorrem por meio dos aspectos de localização de moradia e oferta de infraestruturas e serviços urbanos, incorporando, neste caso, a natureza transformada em mercadoria.

Knowledge of bee flora is key information for sustainable meliponiculture practices. Aiming to stablish the plant species used by the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula used as food sources during the year in an organic agroecosystem, this study identified the pollen grains in the pollen loads of worker bees. The pollen load of bees returning to hives was collected bi-monthly for one year, summing 240 pollen loads analyzed by optical microscopy. We found 76 pollen types in the pollen loads, of which 60% were of weeds. The plants most frequently identified in the pollen loads were: Alchornea, Arracacia xanthorrhiza, Baccharis, Bidens pilosa, Brassica juncea, Brassica oleracea, Byrsonima sp., Cecropia, Chamaecrista, Citrus sp., Crotalaria sp., Croton, Datura, Eucalyptus, Hyptis, Lippia alba, Mangifera indica, Melastomataceae sp., Momordica charantia, Myrsine, Pereskia aculeata, Persea americana, Piptadenia, Pisum sativum, Plinia peruviana, Pluchea, Poaceae, Prunus persica, Psidium guajava, Raphanus sativus, Rubus urticifolius, Schefflera, and Schinus. Bees foraged mostly on weeds, especially during winter and autumn, and so the presence of weeds can be very beneficial to meliponiculture practices.

Dentre as atividades do planejamento florestal, a determinação do fator de forma no povoamento florestal é um dos métodos mais empregados para estimar o volume de árvores individuais, e conhecido por ser um método simples, de fácil aplicabilidade e importante para calcular o volume comercial. No estado de Mato Grosso, nos planos de manejo florestal o fator de forma (ff) utilizado é 0,7 para cálculo de volume médio, regulamentado pelo Decreto Estadual nº. 2.152, de 12 de fevereiro de 2014, Seção III, art. 21, paragrafo 1o  . Consoante ao fator de forma utlizado no Brasil. Esse valor decorrido (absoleto) ainda é utilizado nas estimativas de volume tanto para floresta natural ou floresta plantada, não considerando a especificidade e particularidade de cada espécie. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo testar o fator de forma artificial para a espécie Hymenaea courbaril, popularmente conhecida como Jatobá ou Jataí, em condições naturais de ocorrência. Neste trabalho foram testados 10 modelos através da análise de regressão, com as seguintes estatísticas para avaliação de sua eficiência ou aplicabilidade: Erro Padrão da Média (Syx (%)), Coeficiente de Determinação Ajustado (R2Ajus) e a melhor distribuição dos resíduos. O modelo “ff = β0 + β1*(d0,1*d0,5)/d2 + β2(d0,3/d)2 + β3*(h/d2)” foi o que  apresentou resultados mais satisfatórios e acurados, sendo o mais recomendado para estimativa de fator de forma da espécie Hymenaea courbaril L. em condições naturais.

Na construção civil os trabalhadores que executam atividades como cortar, furar, lixar, esmerilhar, demolir estão expostos à vibração de mãos e braços (VMB). Devido aos efeitos nocivos dessa trepidação no organismo humano, há uma legislação que protege o trabalhador da exposição excessiva da vibração. No Brasil, a Norma de Higiene Ocupacional (NHO 10) trata do assunto e apresenta métodos para quantificar a VMB, entretanto a avaliação é realizada pontualmente para pagamento ou não da insalubridade. Com objetivo de avaliar a VMB, coletou a aceleração nos os cortes de madeiras com três modelos de serra circular (SC-I e SC-II) e a de rochas ornamentais com três modelos de serras mármores (SM-I). Nos grupos SC-I e SM-I, fixou-se o acelerômetro no punho principal e no grupo SC-II fixou-se no punho auxiliar. Coletou-se as acelerações ponderadas nos eixos “x”, “y” e “z” e a aceleração total. No grupo SC-I, a vibração foi de 2,47 m/s² e no SC-II, de 2,36 m/s², abaixo do valor de ação, 2,5 m/s², atendendo os valores estabelecidos na norma. Os resultados dos testes U de Mann-Whitney do grupo SC-II, com um valor-p de 0,02 evidenciaram diferença da VMB entre os cortes do pinus e do cambará. No grupo SM-I, a vibração foi de 3,6 m/s, dentro do valor de ação e abaixo do limite de tolerância, de 5 m/s². Os resultados do teste U de Mann-Whitney, com um valor-p abaixo de 0,02, evidenciou uma diferença da VMB entre os cortes do arenito com a ardósia e do arenito com o mármore. Este estudo indicou um risco de 10% de os carpinteiros desenvolverem a síndrome dos dedos brancos em 12 anos e os pedreiros cortando as rochas ornamentais com as serras mármores, em 9 anos. Conclui-se que algumas profissões na construção civil estão sujeitas ao risco de desenvolver a SVMB.

O trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre o papel do coordenador pedagógico na construção de espaços de comunicação entre a escola e a comunidade por meio da gestão participativa vindo a priorizar a qualidade da educação da escola pública. Mais especificamente, buscou-se estimular a pesquisa na área de gestão participativa como uma forma de conhecer melhor e construir uma visão coletiva da escola e identificar a conduta do coordenador pedagógico e sua equipe diante dos aspectos: pedagógico, administrativo e relacionamento interpessoal. Por se tratar de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, realizou-se um levantamento a partir da análise de fontes secundárias para coleta de informações e dados que serviram de base para a construção da investigação. A pesquisa perpassa pela compreensão da concepção de gestão participativa como política pública no contexto educacional, a atuação e os desafios do coordenador pedagógico como mediador desse processo. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que a implantação da cultura da participação promove a conquista da autonomia da escola e salienta a necessidade do coordenador compreender os fatores que impedem a construção de um modelo participativo, o significado das suas instâncias democratizantes e a relação da gestão participativa com o trabalho pedagógico.
