Direitos territoriais caiçaras
Authors: Bello Enzo , Benette Paula 
Published: December 2024

Este artigo apresenta e discute conflitos fundiários envolvendo direitos territoriais de comunidades tradicionais caiçaras na região de Paraty, litoral sul (“Costa Verde”) do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se da luta por direitos humanos em que as comunidades tradicionais caiçaras das praias do Sono e de Ponta Negra resistem a investidas de representantes do projeto desenvolvimentista do regime autoritário-civil-militar empresarial e do capital financeiro-imobiliário, caracterizando-se expropriação violenta de terras tradicionais por entes públicos e particulares. O objetivo geral é demonstrar como ocorre a dinâmica da resistência popular diante da insuficiência de normas jurídicas e da atuação inadequada de instituições do sistema de justiça (como a Defensoria Pública) para a defesa de direitos territoriais caiçaras, o que caracteriza violações de direitos humanos. O referencial teórico-metodológico é o da Teoria Crítica, nas suas vertentes da Crítica do Direito e dos Direitos Humanos. A pesquisa tem natureza qualitativa, empírica e teórica, com perfil multidisciplinar jurídico-sociológica, adotando o raciocínio dialético (indutivo e dedutivo), relacionando práxis e teoria. As técnicas de pesquisa adotadas são revisão bibliográfica, análise documental, observação não participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e amostragem por “bola de neve”. As fontes primárias são os dados de entrevistas e processos legislativos e judiciais. Já as fontes secundárias são a legislação brasileira e estrangeira, tratados internacionais, teses, dissertações, livros e artigos. Os principais resultados e conclusões da pesquisa são os indicativos de novas formas de intervenção das instituições nos territórios sob conflito, para fomentar o protagonismo dos sujeitos sociais caiçaras em sua luta por direitos.
The diagnostic process for infectious disease diagnosis in animals
Authors: Burrough Eric R. , Derscheid Rachel J. , Mainenti Marta , Piñeyro Pablo , Baum David H. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Veterinary diagnostic laboratories provide a vast catalog of tests for infectious agents and often have multiple tests and testing modalities for individual pathogens. Understanding which test to select, which sample type is best, and which animal to sample in a population are critical factors for drawing appropriate conclusions and diagnosing a disease. Each diagnostic test has its inherent diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and, in many situations, multiple tests may be required for proper interpretation. When multiple tests are needed in a large population (eg, animal shelters, farmed animals, and breeding colonies), the cost of diagnostic testing becomes an increasing concern, and knowing when and how to use aggregate or composite samples is critical. A clinical examination is the first and arguably most important diagnostic procedure providing the framework for laboratory test selection. This yields not only a differential diagnosis but an expected stage of disease, which is necessary for determining the most appropriate laboratory tests and how they should be interpreted. This review will discuss the diagnostic process, strengths and limitations of commonly requested tests at a diagnostic laboratory (eg, histopathology, microbial culture, PCR, and ELISA), common sources of error in interpretation, the impact of pooling samples on different tests, and ways to help strengthen conclusions made from diagnostic test data.

Summary
Nutrition is considered the primary paragenetic factor influencing the milk urea (MU) concentration in ruminants. In addition to diet, various other factors (including season, milk yield, stage of lactation, etc.) have also been shown to affect the urea concentration in ruminant milk. While the physiological concentration of MU has been well-defined for cow's milk, with an optimal range of 15 to 30 mg/dl, such parameters have yet to be established for goat's milk. The objective of this study was to determine the urea concentration in the milk of Alpine goats and to assess its correlation with the daily milk yield and the contents of fat, protein, lactose, and solids-not-fat (SNF). A total of 3,009 samples of Alpine goat milk, collected from two farms in 2021, were analyzed. The average MU concentration was 37.3 ± 8.9 mg/dl, with a range from 13.8 to 110.7 mg/dl. The average daily milk yield was 1.15 ± 0.49 kg, whereas the average milk fat and protein contents were 3.28 ± 0.97% and 3.35 ± 0.50%, respectively. The study found a positive and statistically significant correlation between the MU concentration and the contents of milk fat, protein, and SNF. Conversely, an increase in the MU concentration was negatively correlated with the daily milk yield. Monitoring the MU concentration in dairy goat herds enables the optimization of feed rations, particularly their protein and energy contents, thus improving nitrogen utilization in milk production.

Published: December 2024

Summary
Precision agriculture has increasingly incorporated the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with multispectral cameras. This study examined the influence of different UAV flight altitudes on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI), Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE), Optimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (OSAVI), and Leaf Chlorophyll Index (LCI), indices critical to crop monitoring and health assessment. The experiment was conducted on a 2-hectare winter wheat field at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, Serbia. The field was divided into 400 plots, each containing different wheat varieties subjected to twenty distinct combinations of artificial mineral fertilizer (NPK) treatments. A DJI P4 Multispectral drone was employed to capture images at altitudes of 30, 60, and 90 meters on three separate dates, corresponding to different plant growth stages: May 9, May 20, and June 6, 2022. All other operating parameters were held constant. The data were processed using the DJI Terra and Pix4D software to generate orthomosaic maps, which were subsequently analyzed using ArcGIS (v10.5, ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) to calculate the multispectral index values for each plot. The results were statistically analyzed using the STATISTICA Tibco software. The analysis revealed significant differences in the index values based on the UAV flight altitude (p < 0.05). This research underscores the centrality of selecting the optimal UAV flight altitude to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data. While higher altitudes enable UAVs to cover larger areas in a single flight, factors such as image resolution, wind conditions, and the precision of crop health indicators must be considered. These findings offer valuable insights for agricultural professionals seeking to improve crop monitoring and ultimately enhance agricultural productivity through more effective UAV deployment.
Gender Inequality and Women Participation in Political Activities and Peace Processes in Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Badom Porbari Monbari , Ndeeue Kuapie 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Gender inequality is endemic in Rivers State, and women are treated as Cinderella in peace processes, decision making and active political participation, and have thus been shackled in diverse ways, but behind the pretext of being otherwise engaged with culturally attributed motherly roles. Gender discrimination had thus lingered with solipsistic men who occupy positions of authority in the majority, and inured the women to the condition, apropos of gender inequality, as the elephant in the living room. This was however unsubstantiated, hence the study is a cutting edge of intellectual response which studied gender inequality and women participation in political activities and peace processes in Rivers State. The study is a cross sectional survey which triangulated data collection. Sample size was 400, determined by Taro Yamane statistics from the population size. Random and simple random sampling methods were adopted in the selection of the communities and respondents. The quantitative data were analyzed with ordinal level statistics and chi-square adopted in testing the hypotheses. The qualitative data were content analyzed. The study found that gender inequality hinders women from becoming members of conflict resolution committees, hinders the appointment of women at community decision making levels, and also hinders women from participating in active politics in Rivers State. Thereafter, policy recommendations were made.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objective
To explore the association of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and stigma as well as the mediating role of fear of progression (FoP) in lung cancer patients.

Methods
Two hundred and forty-two lung cancer patients completed a self-reported questionnaire, which included the highly sensitive person scale (HSPS), fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF), and the Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale (CLCSS).

Results
CLCSS was positively correlated with FoP (Pearson correlation = 0.217, P < 0.01) and HSPS (Pearson correlation = 0.187, P < 0.01), FoP was positively correlated with HSPS (Pearson correlation = 0.199, P < 0.01). FoP played a mediating role between SPS and stigma (a × b = 0.025, 95% confidence intervals [CI] [0.004, 0.054]), and the proportion of mediating effect (ab/c) was 21% (ab = 0.025, c = 0.120).

Conclusions
Patients with higher SPS reported higher level of stigma, and FoP has a mediating role between SPS and stigma. Our discussion deemed that psychological intervention may help higher SPS patients reduce the harm of FoP and further reduce stigma.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives
To assess the awareness and coping skills of the informal and formal caregivers of people living with dementia (PLWD). Dementia is a condition, which leads to memory loss and gradual deterioration of cognitive abilities in the affected person. The lack of awareness regarding the care of people with dementia and the caregivers’ poor coping strategies can negatively impact caregivers’ experiences.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the 80 caregivers of PLWD from the psychiatric units of the selected hospitals of Udupi district, Karnataka, India. The baseline data were collected by a self-reported sociodemographic questionnaire. The “Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale” was used to gauge participants’ awareness of the care of people with dementia, while the “Brief COPE inventory,” a 28-item questionnaire, was used to gauge carers’ coping mechanisms. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the data analysis using Jamovi (2.3.24), a graphical user interface for R programming, and Microsoft Excel.

Results
Most of the caregivers (n = 68, 85%) had lesser awareness regarding the care of people with dementia. The mean coping strategies score was 60.9 ± 7.71. There was a positive correlation between the awareness and the coping strategies scores among the caregivers (r = 0.659, P < 0.05).

Conclusions
The caregivers of people with dementia often lack awareness about dementia and hence experience poor coping due to their high workload and stress. The frontline healthcare professionals and nurses need to provide appropriate interventions to the caregivers to improve their awareness about dementia and its care.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objective
This study aimed to explain the criteria of managers at different levels of nursing in selecting effective nursing diagnosis.

Methods
In conventional content analysis, 10 nursing managers at different levels including head nurse, supervisor, and nursing manager were interviewed. Data was collected with semi-structured interviews and a narrative approach. Data analysis was performed using the Zhang–Wildemuth method simultaneously with sampling.

Results
Four head nurses, four supervisors (educational, clinical), and two nursing managers were interviewed. The results of the analysis led to the extraction of two main categories: centrality of the nursing profession, with the sub-categories compatibility with nursing practices and compliance with organizational and professional principles of nursing, and covering the patient care aspect, with sub-categories of having potential to facilitate and adapting to patient care conditions.

Conclusions
The analysis of the views of nursing managers shows that health managers should consider various management aspects such as functional and organizational to increase the efficiency of nursing interventions in the selection of nursing diagnostic systems. From the point of view of health managers, nursing diagnoses should cover the considerations of patients, nurses, and work environments.

Authors: Contrera Blanca Flor Pérez , Theran Kelly Mercedes Diaz 
Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the risk and protective factors of resilience faced by students in elementary schools in the department of Sucre, Caribbean region of Colombia.

Theoretical Framework: The research that supports this study highlights the importance of effective communication in the family environment and the emotional impacts derived from it. In addition, several theories, such as Ann S Masten and Froma Walsh's resilience theory and Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of human development, highlight the relevance of social support systems in fostering resilience.

Method: The methodology adopted for this research is qualitative with a descriptive-interpretative scope and non-experimental design in order to build a comprehensive view of the students' and family members' feelings about what happens in the teaching-learning process. Data collection was carried out through an interview with a sample of 50 students, selected from first to fifth grades through simple random probability sampling; complemented with information provided by parents.

Results and Discussion: The results show children that in the midst of adversities develop resilient capacity, abilities to communicate and coexist, to learn significantly under the guidance of the teacher, who in his role as mediator uses replacement strategies in the search to form integral, self-regulated beings capable of transforming realities.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing information on how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of social sciences. These implications could span the areas of emotional well-being, family dynamics, education, and community participation.

Originality/value: This study has an innovative approach that explores resilience in students, relating educational and family factors, which allows for a deep understanding of the emotional challenges they face. It is relevant because it provides professionals such as teachers, psychologists and social workers with tools to improve the well-being and resilience of young people, allowing a more informed approach to the prevention of emotional problems and the creation of support networks.
Public Space, Resilience, and Compactness in la Samaria Partial Plan. Ibagué, Colombia
Authors: Cardoso Estefany Sánchez , Francel-Delgado Andrés Ernesto , Bonilla-Marín Yesid Aurelio 
Published: December 2024

Objective: To recognize the public space indices in the La Samaria Partial Plan, the largest in Ibagué, Colombia, and compare them with urban compactness indices to determine if they meet the projections outlined during its formulation, and to propose solutions for a sustainable urban future.

Theoretical Framework: This study addresses the heuristic of the adaptive cycle and the resilience of complex natural systems adapting to urban environments, known as the concept of Social-Ecological Resilience, as well as participatory construction as a sustainable planning strategy.

Method: A documentary analysis focused on sustainable development regulations with international references was conducted, along with interviews and surveys to identify needs and expectations, which were then contrasted through a correlation of results.

Results and Discussion: According to the adjustment of the Clark-Evans index, the distribution of the ecological structure is random, indicating that urban land use is suboptimal, as it is not the product of orderly city planning. It repeats the traditional errors of urban development, which do not facilitate mixed uses to reduce travel distances and decentralize the city.

Research Implications: Establishing evaluation criteria for developing urban areas allows for mechanisms to bridge the gap between regulatory and conceptual requirements and material reality. This way, urban developments can be adjusted before it is too late.

Originality/Value: Urban development analysis is usually conducted after consolidation, so this study provides criteria to measure the accuracy of partial plans under construction, helping to identify possibilities for oversight, adjustment, and control that benefit the sustainable future of cities.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To apply quality methodology to metadata used in web object indexing systems that use the practice of tagging posts on social networks.

Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that underpin the research, such as the quality control method and the evolution of its model.

Method: The research was developed in three stages, consisting of field research, requirements gathering, and application of the QFD quality model.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained demonstrated that it is feasible to implement metadata control. When applied to QFD (Quality Function Deployment), these results provide a solid basis for making informed decisions about the selection of more effective metadata.

Research Implications: The research requires the application of folksonomy as a subsystem as a requirement, being a possible model for use in metadata filtering.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the use of metadata with better quality for systems that use folksonomy, especially in metadata classification, where a quality control system is lacking.

Authors: Lidzhiev Mingiyan Alekseevich , Lidzhieva Dzhirgal Mingiyanovna 
Published: December 2024

The subject of the study is the tradition of folk healing methods in the novel by Vladimir Dordjievich Nurov "The White-bearded Elder" (Cahan sahlta kogsha). The study analyzes how empirical knowledge about human health and traditional folk healing methods are reflected in the plot, in the characters' images and in the context of historical and cultural significance. The object of the research is V. Nurov's novel "The White-Bearded Elder" as a work of fiction, which explores empirical knowledge, folk traditions related to healing. The various situations in which the main characters of the novel resort to folk healing methods are analyzed, how they apply them, in what circumstances they turn to these practices, as well as how this affects their internal state. The novel examines specific rituals and rituals associated with healing and how these folk methods are intertwined with spiritual practices and cultural traditions of the people. The research methods are cultural-historical, comparative-historical, structural, and narrative. The main conclusions of the study are the provisions that the novel clearly presents magical and empirical knowledge about human health, accumulated and transmitted from generation to generation. Various healing methods are described, such as minerals, healing properties of various animal products, rituals, and magic spells. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time in Kalmyk literary studies, namely on the material of V. Nurov's novel "The White-Bearded Elder", interesting information about traditional folk medicine has been studied. The author describes the treatment processes and the interaction of the characters with traditional medicine. This made it possible to identify semantic and cultural aspects that demonstrated the depth of the author's approach. In the novel, V. Nurov reflected various traditional methods of treatment for various diseases, methods of medical practice, knowledge about human health, about folk methods of healing from various ailments. The novel can serve as a valuable source of information about Kalmyk folk traditions and their approaches to treatment. Turning to traditional folk medicine through the prism of literature not only enriches the understanding of the specifics of Kalmyk culture, but also emphasizes the importance of folk knowledge in a universal human context.
