Published: May 2023

The objective of the present essay is to present a conceptual theoretical model for the study of the homegarden from Luhmann's agroecological approach and theory of autopoietic social systems, from which the family is conceptualized as a social system. This to explore new theories that help explain and understand from another dimension the complexity of the socio-environmental phenomena that occur in this unit of study. This analysis required the revision of up-to-date scientific literature regarding the main theoretical approaches used in recent decades on the homegarden, as well as the principles that support the Luhmannian theory in question. In this way, a theoretical assembly between families was designed as a social system and a homegarden agroecosystem, whose relevance lies in exposing the subjectivity that implies the understanding of a phenomenon from first order observation carried out by the family and the second order observation that carried out by the researcher. Consequently, the second-order observer (the researcher) recognizes the existence of an immanent blind spot and the influence that his epistemic framework has on the analysis of the results of his research and what this implies in the dissemination and use of the knowledge generated. Topical issue in the design of government strategies focused on strengthening the homegarden as a key element in the economy and family well-being in rural contexts.

Published: May 2023

Background. Pasture growth rate (PGR, kg/ha/day) depends on climatic and management practices. However, studies on the influence of the environment on pasture production and productivity of dry matter are scarce in tropical, hot, and humid regions of México. Objective. To estimate the pasture growth curve using time and climatic variables. Methodology. We related, through nonlinear models, the accumulated growth of a pasture composed of native grasses mixed with exotic grasses, using time and the variables temperature and day length as independent variables, the latter integrated into a single variable called thermal photo units (PTU). We estimated the daily growth rates of five divisions; from these, the forage yields for ten days until completing 29 periods. The best-fit models had the largest coefficients of determination and the lowest Akaike’s information criterion. Results. The model that best described the relationship between cumulative yield (Y) and cumulative growing days (X) was reciprocal-quadratic: y = x/(0.097535 – 0.0000881x + 0.0000006810x2) with R2Adj, of 0.9988 and an AICC of 222.6. The model that best described the relationship between the accumulated performance and the accumulated PTU was rational: y = (- 317.8 + 1.594x + 0.00001307x2)/(1 + 0.001059x + 0.00000001964x2), with R2Adjt.=0.9985 and AICC=233.4. Likewise, a two-segment model showed a close fit. The logarithmic model described the first segment: y1 = -2268 + 417.2*(ln(x)), when y2 =1079.3e0.00003932X, if x > 8415; with R2Adj. = 0.9975 and AICc = 245.1. The value 8415 PTU was when the first derivative of both models coincided. Implications. The information generated is useful because it allows grazing system adjustment concerning the correct stocking rate application and designing more efficient grazing rotations. Conclusions. The conversion of growth rates to accumulated yield for ten-day periods produced a smooth curve that allowed fitting high-precision nonlinear models to predict forage accumulation from time and climatic variables.

Published: May 2023

Background. Agrobiodiversity is one of the main pillars of agriculture in Mexico, so its conservation is a priority for the sustainability and resilience of the agri-food system. Objective. To analyze the agrobiodiversity's state in the Mexican agricultural, food and genetic resources system. Methodology. Methodologically, the Agrobiodiversity Index was implemented, ten indicators and 16 variables were measured, which included species diversity, varietal diversity, underutilized species, and landscape complexity in the agrifood system. Results. The State of Agrobiodiversity Index for Mexico was moderate (56.2/100), the score for the food system was high (66.6/100), the agricultural system presented high scores (63.1/100) and the conservation system gave low scores (38.4). /100). Implications. The conservation system has focused on commercial plant species, leaving a gap in the conservation and sustainable use of wild and non-commercial species. In the agricultural and conservation system, it is urgent to create platforms with more specific biological information (intraspecific levels, varieties, races, cultivars). With these platforms, a more precise estimate of the country's agrobiodiversity will be possible. Conclusion Although the country has a high diversity of animal and plant species that serve as a source of food, these options are underutilized in the food system.

Background: Studies that help to evaluate agroecosystems are of great importance for world agricultural production in order to achieve a more sustainable agriculture. Objective: To evaluate the physical and chemical attributes of the soil with crops intercropped with coffee. Methodology: The research was carried out on the property of a family farmer located in the municipality of Alegre, state of Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil. For this, three farming systems were defined: monoculture coffee, coffee intercropped with plantain, and coffee intercropped with plantain and hearts of palm. Five randomly selected experimental units were established in each system. The physical attributes were evaluated: texture and mechanical resistance of the soil; and chemical attributes: pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, Al+H, SB, CIC-e, CIC-T, %SB, %SA and MO. Results: Soil texture was similar in the three cultivation systems, however, the monoculture coffee soil had a higher percentage of sand and a lower percentage of clay. The mechanical resistance was similar between the culture systems in the two depths evaluated. Regarding chemical attributes, monoculture coffee presented higher values for pH, P, K, Ca and Mg, SB, CICe and %SB, and lower value for organic matter content. Conclusion: These results show that the physical and chemical attributes of the soil are affected by intercropping with coffee, so it is necessary to modify the agronomic management for these conditions.

Published: May 2023

Background: Given the importance of the agricultural activity for the economic development of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in this paper we assess the effect of the environmental parameters related to soils and socioeconomic factors on the performance of the municipalities. Objective: To identify factors that influence on agricultural production performance, as well as the directions of such influences (positive or negative). Methodology: A two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was chosen for this analysis. The performance scores are computed considering land, labor, and capital (or technology) as inputs, and the value of crops and of livestock production as outputs. Results: The average efficiency was 0.5509 and 12 municipalities out of the 89 assessed were 100% efficient. A high level of susceptibility to erosion significantly and negatively influences the efficiency scores. The suitability of land for agriculture and for livestock are positively associated with performance. The presence of family-based farmers favors the agricultural performance of the assessed municipalities. Implications: These results may support public policies related to land use and soil governance. Conclusions: The proposed two-stage DEA approach was useful to assess the influence of factors related to soils and socioeconomic indicators on the agricultural performance of the municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Background: Veracruz is the second largest coffee producer in Mexico and its production is of productive, economic and social importance. Objective: to analyze the participation of women in the coffee production process and decision-making in 11 municipalities in the region of the High Mountains of Veracruz. Methodology: A survey applied through personal interviews was used, with the application of 98 questionnaires to women coffee producers. We worked with two focus groups: coffee plantation owners defined as Women Coffee Producers (MDP, 15) and non-owners of coffee plantations but who participate in family production considered as Family Women Coffee Producers (MFP, 18); A database was created in Excel Microsoft Windows, the data was analyzed with Statistica version 8.0. Results: It was found that the MDPs play a double role (producers and housewives/entrepreneurs/artisans), while the MFPs are exclusively dedicated to the home. Therefore, coupled with the fact that they have land ownership rights, their participation is low. Implications: it is important to carry out research with a gender perspective to recognize the preponderant activity of women, considering men. Conclusions: it is important to encourage women to recognize their work in order to make visible the work carried out on the plots.

Published: May 2023

Temperatures have continued to rise in recent years, many areas have shown extreme temperatures, and global warming has been a perennial topic. We use various optimization prediction and optimization evaluation methods in this paper to determine the trends and causes of global temperature variation and make effective suggestions for them. We first constructed a first-order differential temperature model and found that the temperature rise in March 2022 was larger than that observed in the past 10 years. By constructing a prediction model (BP) based on BP neural network and a grey temperature prediction model (GAGM) optimized based on adaptive genetic algorithm, and by importing the data, we find that the average temperature in 2116 and 2145 will reach 20℃. In addition, if the correlation factor evaluation model (FAEM) is constructed in the country, and we conclude that there is a correlation between location, time and temperature. Next, we analyzed key environmental factors, such as volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and COVID-19. We imported the CO 2 concentration and temperature data into the FAEM evaluation model to obtain the results that natural disasters can lead to the temperature increase. Then nine environmental factors, including COND, NYKC, NYXH, GDP, PJRK, LJL, LZMJ, KJSP, and GJJY. Taking these factors as independent variables and temperature as the dependent variables, COND, NYXH, PJRK, LJMJ, JSL are the main causes of global temperature change and KJSP. This study provides an assessment of future global temperature changes, making recommendations for policymakers to optimize the energy mix and plant trees to effectively mitigate the global temperature rise.

Published: May 2023

Renewable form of energy is becoming more curious for researchers. Biofuel can be used in different sectors to meet energy demands and provides less dependency on fossil fuels. Many countries in the world are capable to produce biofuels from biomass and other sources. Generations of biofuels are important for the development of bio-based fuels. Biodiesel is produced by the three-step process or transesterification process. Some parameters directly affect the production of biofuels. Biofuels have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuels, offering potential solutions to environmental and energy security challenges. The production and utilization of biofuels involve various influencing parameters that affect their characteristics and performance. The cost of the feedstock, food security, use of catalyst, and some other parameters are to be considered for the production of biodiesel. This article provides information about feedstock available in different countries for production and also suggests the use of additives can also enhance the properties of first, second, and third-generation biofuels.
Nanoparticles as Additive to the Diesel and Biodiesel along with Blends: A Review on Emission Characteristics and Performance of CI Engine
Authors: Senger Mohit Kumar Singh , Singhal Ankit Kumar , Kumar Dhairya , Sharma Deepanshu
Published: May 2023

The depletion rate of fossil fuels are very high as well as they put negative impact on the environment. So the alternate fuels are required to meet the demand of the world. The bio based fuels and blends are the source which can be help for the sustainable development. The mild negatives of biodiesel, like its increased nitrogen oxide emissions, inconsistency with winter conditions, and frequent replacement cycles for engine parts like fuel filters, fuel tanks, and fuel lines owing to clogging, exceed its many advantages. By using nanoparticles as fuel additives, there is still room to improve the qualities of fuel and address its shortcomings. The role of nanoparticles additives increases the thermos-physical properties of the pure fuel, bio based fuel and blends. They directly affect how well the diesel engine performs. There are various nanoparticle additions that play diverse roles in the operation and emission process of the diesel engine. The common nanoparticles additives such as cerium oxide, aluminium oxide, magnesium, carbon nano tubes are the common additives which are directly used. This review article analyses the performance, emission traits, fuel characteristics, and issues with the nanoparticle additions. Additionally, this work aids researchers in their investigation of potential nanoparticle additions in the future.
Music for the Gods
Authors: Bode Omojola
Published: May 2023

During the 1980s, ethnomusicological literature focused extensively on the problematics of identity in the analysis of music and performance practice. In conceptual terms, Bode Omojola, in Yoruba Music in the Twentieth Century: Identity, Agency, and Performance Practice, does not entirely chart a new course diverging from the presuppositions of, for want of a better term,this paradigm. However, his deep and broad knowledge of Yoruba culture and music forms lends a resonance that can be considered to be a departure from, or even at other moments, a transcendence of, to employ an alternative designation, the framework. He is certainly an insider in relation to Yoruba culture and language and, as a trained ethnomusicologist with an anthropologist’s outsider’s eye, he is able to generate a welter of perspectives that grant his work a certain degree of magisterial authority.

Expert assessment of socially responsible activities of enterprises using the goal tree method on the example of the printing industry
Authors: Potrashkova Liudmyla
Published: May 2023

Socially responsible activities of enterprises are difficult to measure and, as a consequence, to diagnose. The most common method of evaluating socially responsible activities of an enterprise is expert evaluation. The disadvantage of this method is the high level of subjectivity and intuitiveness. The specified problem determined the purpose of the research – to develop an approach to evaluate the results of enterprises’ activities in the aspect of social responsibility, which would allow to involve experts only at the stage of formalising social responsibility norms, and the actual level of fulfilment of these norms should be calculated not by expert means, but on the basis of objective data on the enterprise’s activities. To fulfil the set aim, the work developed an approach to evaluate socially responsible activities of enterprises based on the application of the goal tree method. The paper proposes a procedure for building and quantitative analysis of a goal tree in the aspect of social responsibility, which involves taking into account: 1) expert assessments of social responsibility norms; 2) objective data on compliance with the norms of social responsibility at the analysed enterprise; 3) expert evaluations of the enterprise’s capabilities to comply with these norms; 4) values of parameters of the external environment that affect these capabilities. The procedure for building and quantitative analysis of a goal tree in the aspect of social responsibility is demonstrated on the example of the printing industry. The proposed approach allows: to evaluate social results of the company’s activity; to analyse problems and external limitations in the aspect of social responsibility; to formulate tasks of reducing external limitations on the enterprise’s capability to fulfil the norms of social responsibility. This will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the decisionmaking process for managing results of the enterprise’s socially responsible activities

O artigo propõe discutir o contexto do racismo no Brasil e as implicações nas políticas públicas de ações afirmativas, mais especificamente na chamada lei de cotas. Para tal, se valerá de depoimentos de mulheres negras, dentre as autoras do próprio artigo, que vivenciaram tal política pública de ingresso na universidade; fragmentos de casos clínicos e uma análise crítica de alguns elementos envolvidos neste entrecruzamento entre racismo e ações afirmativas. Buscará discutir de modo introdutório, os efeitos tanto para sujeitos negros e negras que ingressam, quanto para a própria universidade. Destacando como o processo de tornar-se negro pode incluir como elemento fundamental, o próprio ingresso na universidade. A psicanálise em Freud e Lacan será a orientação para o percurso de tais discussões.
RACISMO E COTAS DE AÇÃO AFIRMATIVA
Authors: Barbosa Maria Flávia Pereira , Guerra Andréa Máris Campos
Published: May 2023

Após uma década de promulgação da lei de cotas de ação afirmativa para ingresso no ensino público de nível superior, discutimos a dimensão estrutural, a dimensão interseccional e a dimensão institucional da universidade no sistema mais amplo do racismo estrutural. Dessa maneira, decantamos questões objetivas da lei, como a discussão acerca de se manter ou não a cota racial, privilegiando-se a cota social. Ponto central a nosso ver da atualização do sistema negacionista do racismo à brasileira que perpetua um discurso excludente e promotor de sofrimento e adoecimento, sustentado por lógicas de negação inconsciente e ações reiteradas para essa manutenção. Em contraposição, desvelando essa dimensão do racismo e dos mitos que o corroboram no contexto brasileiro, defendemos o aperfeiçoamento e a continuidade do sistema de cotas raciais.

O ser humano possui potencialidades que estão latentes em seu processo de desenvolvimento e elas devem ser estimuladas de maneira estruturada e intencional desde muito cedo, favorecendo seu desenvolvimento futuro de forma integral. Visando o aprofundamento no tema em questão, sistematizamos um referencial teórico sobre aprendizagem e desenvolvimento humano/infantil, ao produzir uma dissertação de mestrado entre os anos de 2021 e 2022. A partir disso questionamos: de que forma o conhecimento de teorias pelos professores pode contribuir para a aprendizagem e desenvolvimento da criança na educação infantil? Nossos estudos sobre o tema nos levaram ao seguinte objetivo de escrita deste artigo: descrever e analisar a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento infantil, dialogando com diferentes autores e teorias sobre o tema. Colocamos as teorias em debate e nos posicionamos sobre elas. Concluímos que a Teoria Histórico-Cultural oferece aportes teóricos que mais auxiliam os professores na formulação intencional do trabalho pedagógico que deve ser realizado na educação infantil, nesse tempo histórico, potencializando o processo de aprendizagem e de desenvolvimento da criança.
A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES EM SERVIÇO NA PERSPECTIVA DA ECOLOGIA INTEGRAL E DO NOVO HUMANISMO

Published: May 2023

O atual líder da Igreja Católica, Papa Francisco, vem alertando, nesses últimos tempos, a sociedade global sobre vários aspectos que envolvem a vida humana e propondo ações para seus enfrentamentos. Assim, a conversão ecológica é pauta do documento Pacto Educativo Global, que se baseia na Laudato Si’, dirigido aos docentes, principalmente aos educadores católicos, como proposta de formação em serviço. O documento aposta que a formação em serviço é urgente nas escolas comprometidas com um novo humanismo, uma vez que é no locus da ação que o professor reflete sobre a própria prática e renova as esperanças de educar para a transformação. Como Paulo Freire nos fez despertar para a utopia da transformação por meio da educação, o Papa Francisco assim o faz. O Sumo Pontífice encontra diálogo com o nosso patrono e converge com a ideia de uma educação para o pensamento complexo, defendido por Edgar Morin, dentre outros. Esse ensaio pretende discutir algumas dessas ideias, provocando os educadores e educadoras a refletirem sobre o seu papel na busca de uma educação que considere, urgentemente, construir uma cidadania planetária, numa perspectiva da ecologia integral e de um novo humanismo.

O desempenho de aplicações paralelas depende da quantidade de recursos utilizados. Entretanto, recursos excessivos são frequentemente prejudiciais, uma vez que pode acontecer comunicação excessiva, sincronizações, e comportamentos difíceis de antecipar. Neste artigo, estudamos estratégias de aprendizado por reforço para que no contexto de uma aplicação baseada em tarefas, esta se adapte dinamicamente ao melhor conjunto de nós heterogêneos.

Published: May 2023

Classificação de sequências de rRNA é de suma importância para análise de microbiomas. Portanto, este trabalho avaliou o desempenho e eficiência do paralelismo de três algoritmos de classificação taxonômica do Qiime2. Entre eles, o VSearch apresentou a melhor eficiência na paralelização, mas também os maiores tempos de execução. Os outros dois, Naive-Bayes e Hybrid, apresentaram desempenho similar entre si, este sendo mais rápido até o quinto grau de paralelismo, e consumindo pouco menos memória que aquele.

Das Verhältnis von Staat und Tarifautonomie
Authors: BEHRENS MARTIN , SCHULTEN THORSTEN
Published: May 2023

Der andauernde Rückgang der Tarifbindung stellt eine große Herausforderung für die deutschen Arbeitsbeziehungen dar, deren Folgen für die Gesellschaft als Ganze kaum zu überschätzen sind. In der politischen Debatte kursiert mittlerweile eine Reihe von Vorschlägen zur Stabilisierung der Tarifbeziehungen, die in diesem Beitrag vorgestellt und kritisch diskutiert werden. So zielt eine Vielzahl dieser Strategieansätze auf die Stärkung der Mitgliederbasis der Tarifparteien. Im Vordergrund stehen rechtspolitische Maßnahmen zur Verstärkung von Anreizen für den Beitritt zu bzw. den Verbleib in Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberverbänden. Ein weiterer Strategieansatz beschäftigt sich mit direkten Vorgaben, die beispielsweise in Gestalt von Tariftreueklauseln oder Allgemeinverbindlicherklärungen die Geltung von Tarifverträgen stützen oder erzwingen. Wie die Analyse zeigt, besteht bei beiden Strategieansätzen kein grundsätzlicher Widerspruch zwischen staatlicher Intervention und Tarifautonomie, denn ohne die Stützung durch den Staat wird die Bereitstellung eines funktionsfähigen Tarifsystems kaum mehr gelingen.

Authors: Saydam Mehmet Bahri , Arasli Huseyin , Arici Hasan Evrim
Published: May 2023

This paper aims to analyze job insecurity (JIS)'s effect on employee incivility by mediating the role of moral disengagement (MD) and the moderating role of coaching behavior in the casino sector. Data was collected from 542 casino employees in Northern Cyprus. The study showed that casino employees’ MD mediated the association between JIS and employee incivility. Additionally, coaching behavior moderated the path of this mediated link. Due to the limited endeavors on the hypothesized relationships, the research contributes to the literature and industry.
