Authors:   , Moreira Marco Túlio da Cunha Silva
Published: February 2025

Observa-se frequentemente a falta de discussões sobre Geografia, Gênero e Sexualidade tanto no contexto social quanto acadêmico, o que acaba reforçando e normalizando estereótipos e conceitos errôneos. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho apresenta uma análise detalhada da corporeidade dos docentes gays no ambiente escolar, com o objetivo de compreender como suas vivências e (r)existências impactam seu corpo e sua atuação nas escolas. A pesquisa foca nas diferenças entre as redes de ensino público e privado no município de Viçosa (MG). Este estudo destaca a importância de reconhecer e valorizar as vivências dos docentes gays, contribuindo para um ambiente educacional mais equânime. A metodologia adotada é de abordagem fenomenológica, valorizando as perspectivas individuais para uma compreensão profunda das experiências humanas. A natureza da pesquisa é qualitativa, com um delineamento exploratório-descritivo, permitindo uma análise detalhada e contextualizada dos dados. Estes foram obtidos através de observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas, e apresentados de forma descritivo-analítica. A análise da corporeidade dos docentes gays na educação básica de Viçosa (MG) é fundamental para promover melhorias sociais que visam a igualdade no ambiente escolar. Tais melhorias incluem a criação de experiências de aprendizado mais inclusivas, a preparação dos estudantes para o contemporâneo visando à redução das desigualdades educacionais. Os resultados evidenciam que a territorialidade do corpo docente gay nas escolas é atravessada por tensões, (r)existências e disputas simbólicas que refletem desafios institucionais e sociais ainda persistentes. Apesar de avanços pontuais e da existência de estratégias de (r)existência, a inclusão plena permanece limitada tanto pela falta de políticas educacionais consistentes quanto pela reprodução de normatividades excludentes, destacando a necessidade de um compromisso institucional mais profundo com a diversidade e a equidade no ambiente escolar. Destaca-se que os resultados deste estudo refletem a realidade das escolas analisadas em Viçosa (MG) e não podem ser generalizados para todas as redes de ensino.

Real-Time Cyber Threat Detection Using Big Data Analytics: A Scalable Framework for Immediate Threat Response
Authors:   Sr Data Engineering Manger, Amazon Seattle, WA 98765, USA, Vijayan Naveen Edapurath
Published: February 2025

The increasing complexity of cyber threats across industries such as human resources (HR), financial services, and government agencies necessitates the
development of real time security solutions. Traditional security measures such as rule based intrusion detection systems (IDS) and batch processing
analytics are inadequate for detecting dynamic and sophisticated cyber threats, including insider attacks, financial fraud, and government infrastructure
intrusions. This paper presents a scalable real time cyber threat detection framework that integrates big data analytics, machine learning, and automated
incident response mechanisms to detect and mitigate threats in real time. The proposed system consists of secure data ingestion pipelines, distributed real
time processing using Apache Kafka and Spark Streaming, and an ensemble machine learning based anomaly detection model. A cross industry use case
highlights the framework’s ability to detect insider threats in HR systems, fraudulent financial transactions, and cyber espionage in government networks.
The system is implemented on AWS cloud infrastructure, and experimental results show that it achieves 98.6% precision for HR insider threat detection,
94.2% accuracy in financial fraud prevention, and a sub-2-second detection latency for public sector security alerts. This paper also discusses the scalability
of the system, highlighting its ability to process over 50,000 security events per second while maintaining real-time performance. The results indicate that
big data-driven cybersecurity solutions can significantly improve threat detection, response times, and overall security posture across different industries.

Contradictions of Nigeria’s Federalism; Investigating the Implications of Geographical Imbalance on Secessionist Agitiations And Tensions in Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Political Science University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria, Victor Nwawube Arinze Victor
Published: February 2025

Nigeria’s federalism has been contending with severe working and constitutional/institutional challenges. These challenges which range from political to
economic and social has resulted in the vociferation for the political restructuring and rearrangement of the country. The inability of the country to espouse
and practice federalism effectively which is indicated in the over-centralization of powers/functions on the central government has brought ethnic conflicts,
political turmoil, marginalization of some ethnic groups, corruption, lack of good governance instead of peace, development and administrative ease. This
study, therefore, investigates if the failure to address the geographical imbalance in representation accounts for the rise in secessionist agitations and tension
in Nigeria, with its focus on the separatist agitations amongst the Igbo indigenous group in south-eastern Nigeria. The modern classic theory of federalism
was adopted as our theoretical framework. The documentary method of data collecting and the qualitative descriptive approach of data analysis were both
used in the study. This study revealed that although Nigeria federalism was purposely adopted by the foundational policymakers to purportedly eradicate
ethnic dominance and inspire the component units to progress and advance at a different speed, The establishment of an unjust, imbalanced, and hypercentralized federal structure during the previous military administration did countless harms to the foundational elements of Nigeria’s federal system by
promoting ethnic dominance and submitting the constituent units to the financial hegemony of the center. The Igbos of the South-East region of Nigeria has
been the victim of this hyper-centralized federal structure and ethnic subjugation over the years, hence, the incessant rise in the emergence and activities
of separatist and pro-independence movements in the region. Consequently, the study recommended an all-inclusive restructuring and reorganization
of the political system of Nigeria by adopting a firm, even and appropriate Federal composition that will encompass state or regional independence and
autonomy when it concerns governmental powers and fiscal resources

Authors: Najm Alauldeen Taher , Lee Wei-Koon , Abbas Abdulhussain Abdulkarim , Ramli Suzana
Published: February 2025

The increasing issue of water scarcity worldwide calls for research into sustainable water management solutions. Using a two-phase methodology that makes use of geographic information systems (GIS) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method for multi-attributes decision making (MADM), integrated with fog computing. This study explores the potential of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in the Al-Basrah Basin, Iraq. In the first phase, weights are assigned to the evaluation attributes represented by the thematic layers (elevations, slope, river buffer, well pads/urban area, and soil texture). The results demonstrate the feasibility of the southeast region in the study area to be used for RWH. Furthermore, a comparison between AHP and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), the merit of AHP to reconcile discrepancies and expedite the collection of expert opinions, reduces the problems of uncertainty and inconsistency, and improves the appropriateness assessment credibility and reliability. In addition, a novel conceptual second phase integrates fog computing for dynamic RWH management in the candidate RWH site area. At the selected RWH sites, fog nodes with sensors might be deployed to enable real-time data collection of rainfall, water quality, tank levels, and maintenance demands. Local preprocessing and analysis of data by fog nodes facilitate near-real-time decision-making for the best possible use of water resources and system health. Long-term water security in the Al-Basrah Basin may be enhanced by this strategy, which has the ability to enable informed water management.

Published: February 2025

Breast cancer one of the most common global health issues is influenced significantly by estrogen and progesterone signaling, with treatments often centered on endocrine-based regimens that include progesterone and estrogen modulators. Historically, a wide range of illnesses and ailments have been treated with medicinal herbs. The Rutaceae family’s Citrus limon contains a plethora of therapeutically valuable phytoconstituents: sugar, polyphenols, pectin, polysaccharides, and monoterpenes. Citrus peels exhibit a wide range of biological activities like antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and antidiabetic most valuable ones. The current study was conducted to investigate the anticancer potential of phytoconstituents from Citrus limon against the breast cancer target proteins ERa (estrogen receptor alpha) and PR (progesterone receptor) using the technique of molecular docking after purification of phytochemicals. Drug likeliness was predicted using SwissADME while Molinspiration and PASS servers were used to estimate the bioactivity and anticancer activity of phytochemicals, respectively. Among seven phytoconstituents analyzed, humulene demonstrated the highest binding energy (−13.749 kcal/mol) against the targets of breast cancer. Phytochemicals complied with all ADME criteria and were verified as novel therapeutic agents. Humulene and valencene have the potential to treat breast cancer.

Perspectives on deploying gene editing techniques to protect farmed invertebrates from pathogenic infection.
Authors: Hauton Chris
Published: February 2025

The production of aquatic protein for human consumption is widely argued as playing a pivotal role in the provision of global food security. However, the sustainable intensification of aquaculture production faces key challenges from impacts of, for example, climate change and the incidence of pandemic diseases and syndromic disorders. Current initiatives to tackle these challenges rely on the dissemination of Better Management Practices to farmers, often based in remote locations. In the longer term our improved understanding of invertebrate immune systems, in particular pattern recognition receptors and pathways, will present positive solutions to disrupt host/pathogen interactions. Combining these insights with advances in bioscience tools, including gene editing, will provide novel avenues to reduce the impacts of disease in biosecure culture systems. Concerted research efforts between academic and industry scientists, supported by appropriate investment, should be directed toward overcoming challenges of implementing bioscience solutions to control diseases in order for the aquaculture industry to meet future global demand.

Approach to anal sphincter dysfunctions in a patient with endorectal pull-through procedure
Authors: Ulusoy Tangül Sevgi , Şenaylı Atilla
Published: February 2025

The seven-year-old male patient was examined in the pediatric surgery outpatient unit with abdominal distension. He had been operated on for congenital megacolon in the newborn period in another center. After a period of follow-up, he had been re-operated because of a diagnosis of insufficient pull-through, and a second pull-through had been performed. Following this procedure, myectomy and temporary colostomy procedures were reported in a different hospital. After all these treatments, he still had a distension episode, even associated with enterocolitis. In our clinic, we medically treated enterocolitis four times in 5 months. According to the council decision in our department, we decided to use a medically used botulin toxin (Botox) to evaluate a possible internal anal sphincter achalasia (IASA) and injected the Botox into the internal sphincter under anesthesia. Following the procedure, the patient was brought to our attention only once in 4 months with a mild distension. This data encouraged us to perform partial sphincteromy and internal sphincter myectomy. Nine months after the myectomy, the patient was not hospitalized and had a mild distension once. There is a significant improvement in his life quality; as a clear result, we observed and experienced that sphincter-related problems must be taken into account in incurable postoperative obstructive situations related to Hirschsprung's disease.

Authors: Güllü Arslan Nevra , Esert İrkılata Figen , Özbalcı Aysu Başak
Published: February 2025

Aims: COVID-19 shows overlapping clinical and radiological findings with other viral pneumonias. This study designed to explore the likelihood of the existence of COVID-19 pneumonia in our country before March 11th, date of first official COVID-19 case detected in Turkey, by using a diagnostic model designed with radiologic and laboratory findings.
Methods: 273 patients with pre-diagnosis of viral pneumonia were aggrouped according to hospitalization date (before and after 11March), naso-oropharyngeal swab PCR results. Thoracic tomographies, C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, platelet values of all patients were evaluated.
Results: Laboratory findings of lymphocyte, eosinophil counts (p<0.05) were significantly low; radiologic findings of round opacity, cobblestone, nodüle, subpleural line were significant in COVID-19 group (p<0.05). ‘Round opacity’, ‘subpleural line’, ‘nodule’, ‘lymphocyte’ variables were found to be statistically significant for final model (p<0.05). COVID-19 diagnosis possibility; increases 302.9% by ‘round opacity’, 355.6% by ‘subpleural lines’; and decreases 59.1% by ‘nodule’ presence, 31.7% by one unit increase in lymphocyte level. Based on final model; 49.3% of the participants before 11 March 2020 were predicted to be positive for COVID-19.
Conclusion: According to these findings, we can say that COVID-19 patients existed before March 11th, 2020 in Turkey, for the first time. Also based on same diagnostic model; subpleural lines, presence of cobblestone, round opacity appearances and absence of nodules on tomography, and the presence of lymphopenia and eosinopenia in the cell count can also be used to support the diagnosis of COVID pneumonia.
Exploring the potential of urban nature-based solutions to address infectious disease: a case study in Bharatpur, Nepal
Authors: Pottinger-Glass Chloe , Ghimire Uttam , Dotel Sabin ,   Youth Innovation Lab, Rai Anu , Saluja Ridhi , Tran Minh , Green Jonathan M. H. , Barquet Karina
Published: February 2025

Given knowledge gaps on nature-based solutions (NBS), infectious disease and urbanization, researchers sought to investigate the drivers of infectious disease in a developing city context, the differentiated hazards faced by different groups such as Indigenous and peri-urban communities, and the potential of NBS to reduce hazards while providing ecological and social co-benefits.

Key messages
In Bharatpur, Nepal, the project survey found one in five households had been affected in the past five years by the mosquito-borne disease dengue fever (18.4%). Skin infections were the second most reported infectious disease, affecting 11.5% of households. Proximity to garbage disposal sites was found to be associated with incidence of both dengue and skin infections, and lack of adequate sanitation and clean water is a hypothesized driver for skin infections.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) have potential to reduce hazard from infectious disease through filtering water, mitigating flooding and reducing urban temperatures. Local actors participating in project workshops were particularly interested in applying green streets and rainwater harvesting in Bharatpur.

Strengthening solid waste management is recommended as a priority action to reduce hazard from dengue, by increasing collection frequency and ensuring city-wide provision of municipal collection services. Improving piped water supply to peri-urban areas is recommended as a priority action to improve hygiene, reduce skin infections and address critical health inequities among vulnerable populations.

The study emphasizes that to improve public health outcomes from infectious disease, NBS cannot substitute for basic urban infrastructure and services.

How is intelligence determined by the environment and genetics?
Authors: Idowu M Ariyibi, RN  , Geneva T Igwama  , Oghogho L Akarogbe
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the intricate relationship between intelligence,
genetics, and the environment, emphasizing how external factors and
hereditary traits influence cognitive abilities. Intelligence is typically
defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, with its
heritability shaped by genetic and environmental influences. The research reviews various studies that underscore the role of genetics in
intelligence, including the significance of polygenic scores and behavioural genetics in predicting cognitive outcomes. Furthermore, it explores how environmental factors such as socioeconomic status, educational opportunities, and family dynamics contribute to the development of intelligence, especially during critical developmental periods. The paper also discusses the contentious interaction between genetic inheritance and environmental variability, positing that both elements collaborate in shaping intelligence. While genetics seems to have a more predominant impact as individuals grow older, environmental stimulation can boost the potential for intellectual advancement, highlighting the necessity of a cognitively stimulating environment for optimizing genetic capabilities. Ultimately, this study seeks to offer a nuanced perspective on intelligence as a result of both inherited and environmental factors, illuminating the complexities of this ongoing discourse in behavioral science.

Tuberculosis Infection In Women
Authors: Fitrah Ahmad Izhar , Pandu Wiriansya Edward , Puspa Ratu Andi
Published: February 2025

The increasing number of deaths due to tuberculosis has triggered the national tuberculosis control program to continue to intensify, accelerate, extend and innovate the program.7A holistic approach must be taken in order to improve tuberculosis control and identify various risk factors associated with tuberculosis infection. The Global Tuberculosis Report 2018 reported that 90% of tuberculosis sufferers are adults and 10% are children (<15 years). Figure 1 shows tuberculosis sufferers worldwide, 64% are men and 36% are women with a ratio of 2:1. In Indonesia, data also shows that tuberculosis is more common in men than women. The high prevalence in men shows that the level of men accessing tuberculosis services is higher than women. Differences in social roles between men and women can also affect risk factors for access to health services. In women, access to tuberculosis treatment and prevention services is more difficult than in men. This is because family members do not want to pay for women's health services. Women's health in the family is considered less important than male family members. Tuberculosis problems also occur in vulnerable populations, namely pregnant women and women with tuberculosis-HIV. A fairly high mortality rate occurs in women with tuberculosis-HIV. In pregnant women, transmission of tuberculosis germs to the fetus occurs, so that the fetus can have latent tuberculosis. Understanding tuberculosis disease in women can help the target of eliminating tuberculosis by 2030. Gender equality and active participation of women in the planning, implementation, and health care processes can be an effective way to overcome the problems of difficulty in accessing tuberculosis services, stigma and discrimination, and various existing barriers.

This research aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between academic self-efficacy and dependence on artificial intelligence in a sample of Peruvian university students. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 186 students of both sexes, selected through probabilistic sampling, who were administered the Specific Academic Situations Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale and the Artificial Intelligence Dependence Scale, instruments that showed adequate metric properties. The results showed that the level of academic self-efficacy was medium, while the dependence on artificial intelligence was moderate. Furthermore, it was found that men and students between the ages of 25 and 34 had slightly higher levels of academic self-efficacy. In comparison, those between the ages of 16 and 24 experienced higher levels of dependence on artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between both variables was -0.299 (p<0.05). It was concluded that there is an inverse and significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and dependence on artificial intelligence in the sample of Peruvian university students. In other words, as academic self-efficacy increases, the level of dependence on artificial intelligence tools decreases.

O enfrentamento do bullying no ambiente escolar exige estratégias multidimensionais, incluindo a valorização da diversidade cultural e a promoção da educação em direitos humanos. O estudo analisa como a arte e a cultura afro podem contribuir para a prevenção e combate ao bullying em uma escola pública de Salvador, Bahia. A pesquisa explora a relação entre práticas artísticas, conhecimento da cultura afro e educação em direitos humanos. O teatro, a capoeira e as danças afro são destacados como ferramentas eficazes para estimular o respeito, a inclusão social e a empatia. O teatro, em particular, é abordado como um meio de comunicação que permite aos alunos expressarem suas emoções e desenvolverem habilidades socioemocionais, como comunicação e resolução de conflitos. A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) reconhece a educação em direitos humanos como essencial para o ensino, incentivando a valorização da diversidade cultural. A implementação de atividades artísticas e culturais afro no currículo escolar é apontada como uma abordagem promissora para fortalecer a conscientização sobre diferenças culturais e promover a inclusão. Além disso, o estudo destaca a importância da colaboração entre escola, família e comunidade para enfrentar o bullying de maneira eficaz. Parcerias com profissionais da área cultural podem contribuir para a capacitação dos professores e a implementação de projetos educativos. Avaliar o impacto dessas iniciativas no ambiente escolar é fundamental para aprimorar práticas educacionais e fortalecer o combate ao bullying, promovendo um ambiente de respeito e empatia entre os estudantes.

Abstract. A novel reference absorption instrument, based on photothermal interferometry – the PTAAM-2λ, and scattering measurements are used to characterize filter photometer artefacts in measurements of absorption coefficients of soot and dust-dominated aerosol samples within laboratory and ambient campaigns. The Aethalometer AE33 and the Continuous Light Absorption Photometer (CLAP) were characterized during a laboratory campaign where different soot-like and mineral dust samples were measured. Furthermore, ambient measurements during a campaign in Granada, Spain, were used to characterize the AE33 and MAAP (Multi Angle Absorption Photometer), a pseudo-reference absorption instrument. The laboratory campaign showed significant wavelength dependence of the multiple-scattering parameter C. The C of AE33 at 450/808 was 4.08/3.95 and 6.25/5.27 for propane soot and diesel soot, respectively. For the CLAP the C was 5.10/4.26 and 6.79/5.80 for propane and diesel soot, respectively. For mineral dust, C at 450 nm ranged between 2.74 and 3.03 for the AE33 and between 2.50 and 2.80 for the CLAP. The ambient measurements showed an overall C of 4.72 at 450 nm and of 3.90 at 808 nm for the AE33. The results for both the AE33 and the CLAP show a dependence with the particle size, with fine particles having the highest C values, and as the aerosols become larger C levels off. Both the laboratory and the ambient measurements of the AE33 showed overlapping results. The cross-sensitivity to scattering was smaller for the CLAP than for the AE33. The values of the cross-sensitivity parameter ms at 450/808 nm were 3.0 %/1.5 % for the AE33 and 2.4/0.9 % for the CLAP at 450/808 nm. The intercomparison of the MAAP with the PTAAM-2λ during the ambient campaign in Granada showed that the MAAP-derived absorption coefficients feature a 47 % overestimation at 637 nm and a cross-sensitivity to scattering of 2.4 %.
Benchmarking Snow Fields of ERA5-Land in the Northern Regions of North America

Abstract. Reanalysis products provide new opportunities for assessments of historical Earth System states. This is crucial for snow variables, where ground-based observations are sparse and incomplete, and remote sensing measurements still face limitation. However, because reanalysis data are model-based, their accuracy must be evaluated before being applied in impact and attribution studies. In this study, we assess the accuracy of ERA5-Land's snow cover, snow depth, and Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) across monthly, seasonal, and annual scales, within the ecological regions of Canada and Alaska, regions that are characterized by prolonged seasonal snow cover. Using MODIS satellite snow cover observations and the gridded snow depth/SWE analysis data from the Canadian Meteorological Centre, we conduct a consistent benchmarking of ERA5-Land’s snow fields to (1) identify discrepancies at both gridded and regional scales, (2) evaluate the reproducibility of spatial structure of snow variables, and (3) uncover potential spatial patterns of discrepancies in ERA5-Land's snow statistics. Our results highlight significant discrepancies, particularly for snow depth and SWE, where ERA5-Land tends to grossly overestimate long-term mean values and interannual variability, while underestimating trends, i.e., moderating positive trends and exaggerating negative ones. The discrepancies in SWE, however, are primarily driven by biases in snow depth rather than snow density. Therefore, we advise against the direct use of ERA5-Land's snow depth and SWE in Canada and Alaska. While snow cover and snow density may still be useful for impact and attribution studies, they should be applied with caution and potential bias corrections particularly at local and smaller scales.

Abstract. This study utilizes the computer-controlled scanning electron microscope software IntelliSEM-EPASTM, combined with K-means cluster analysis and manual experience, reports for the first time that the dust in the snow accumulation from a typical industrial city in China is mainly composed of kaolinite-like (36 %), chlorite-like (19 %), quartz-like (15 %), illite-like (14 %), hematite-like (5 %), and clay-minerals-like (4 %) and other components. It was also found that the size distribution and aspect ratio of the dust did not undergo significant changes during dry and wet deposition, but they exhibited great variability among the different mineral composition groups. Subsequently, these observed microphysical parameters were used to constrain the optical absorption of dust, and the results showed that under low (high) snow grain size scenarios, the albedo reductions caused by dust concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 ppm in snow were 0.007 (0.022), 0.028 (0.084), and 0.099 (0.257), respectively. These results emphasize the importance of dust composition and size distribution characteristics in constraining snowpack light absorption and radiation processes.
