Cisneros, o poder e os limites da mídia
Authors: Arbex Jr. José 
Published: March 2023

Na Venezuela, os meios de comunicação de massa funcionam como o principal articulador da oposição ao presidente Hugo Chávez. Por meio de seu empresário mais importante, Gustavo Cisneros, organizaram um fracassado golpe de Estado, em abril de 2002, e tentaram construir uma agenda política destinada a criar uma situação de ingovernabilidade do país. Sucessivas vitórias políticas de Hugo Chávez, consagradas pelos resultados do referendo revogatório de 15 de agosto de 2004, entretanto, demonstram claramente os limites da mídia como protagonista político, bem como a capacidade da sociedade de resistir organizadamente às tentativas de manipulação do imaginário. Trata-se de um caso particularmente importante para aqueles que tentam entender de que maneira funcionam as imbricações entre mídia e poder político.

Abstract:
In Venezuela, the broadcasting corporations work as the main organizers of the opposition to president Hugo Chávez. Articulated by their most important entrepreneur, Gustavo Cisneros, they organized an unsuccessful coup d'état, in April of 2002, and they tried to build a political agenda destined to create a situation of political and social chaos in the country. Successive political victories of Hugo Chávez, consecrated by the results of the revocatory referendum, of August 15, 2004, however, clearly demonstrated the limits of the media as a political protagonist, as well as the capacity of the society to organize itself in order to resist the attempts of manipulation of the imaginary. It is a particularly important case for those who try to understand how media corporations relate to political power.

W artykule przedstawiono sposób oceny rozkładu temperatury w produkcyjnym otworze geotermalnym w sytuacji dopływu mieszaniny wody złożowej (solanki) oraz – planowanego jako główny nośnik energii cieplnej – dwutlenku węgla w zakresie nadkrytycznych parametrów ciśnienia i temperatury. We wstępie podkreślono znaczenie ograniczenia emisji dwutlenku węgla do atmosfery, omówiono krótko charakterystykę przemian fazowych CO2 oraz przedstawiono sposób jego alternatywnego zagospodarowania. Zyskującym w ostatnich latach na popularności sposobem ograniczenia szkodliwego oddziaływania dwutlenku węgla jest jego wykorzystanie jako medium roboczego przy pozyskiwaniu energii geotermalnej, tj. wprowadzenie go do obiegu w układzie otworów (zatłaczającego i produkcyjnego) do wyeksploatowanych złóż węglowodorów (ropy lub gazu). W pracy zobrazowano zasady pracy takich otworów, przedstawiono korzyści wykorzystania w systemach geotermalnych dwutlenku węgla jako płynu roboczego oraz określono warunki niezbędne do efektywnego działania omawianego układu. Jednym z elementów publikacji jest bilans wymiany ciepła pomiędzy płynem przemieszczającym się ze złoża na powierzchnię a górotworem. W ramach rozwiązania problemu zaprezentowano model bilansowy przyjętych i oddanych ilości ciepła przez mieszaninę solanki i dwutlenku węgla w otworze geotermalnym. Przedstawione zostały ponadto procedury określania parametrów CO2 w funkcji ciśnienia i temperatury w odwiercie, w tym lepkość, gęstość i współczynnik przewodzenia ciepła w mieszaninie. Podano również sposób obliczania parametrów koniecznych do określenia współczynnika przejmowania ciepła pomiędzy cyrkulującym płynem a ścianą rury okładzinowej. Na potrzeby obliczeń założono, że temperatura na ścianie odwiertu zmienia się liniowo wraz z głębokością, tzn. zgodnie z tak zwanym gradientem geotermicznym. Podano też zależność umożliwiającą określenie ilości ciepła przekazywanego od górotworu do przepływającej mieszaniny solanki i CO2. Jako element końcowy przedstawiono zależność wielkości temperatury płynu wypływającego z otworu od jego głębokości całkowitej, przyjętego natężenia przepływu i zmiennych proporcji CO2 i solanki w składzie mieszaniny. Wszystkie obliczenia przeprowadzono z uwzględnieniem właściwości CO2 w zakresie parametrów nadkrytycznych ciśnienia i temperatury, wzięto w nich również pod uwagę stopień izolacji cieplnej odwiertu. Przedstawiona została procedura obliczeń, a wyniki przykładu obliczeniowego zestawiono w formie tabelarycznej i graficznej. Na ich podstawie podjęto próbę wskazania, który z rozpatrywanych parametrów wpływa najsilniej na końcową wielkość temperatury wypływającego z odwiertu płynu.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Overuse of pesticides in the agriculture sector has resulted in many problems related to human health and environmental issues. Most of the pesticides reach aquatic bodies through agricultural runoff, transportation through air, and seepage through the soil. To lessen the hazards pesticide usage poses to the environment and public health, pesticides must be removed from drinking water sources. Today, choosing the best treatment process is a difficult challenge for water authorities, especially in developing nations because of its complexity. This study proposes a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which combines the order preference technique similar to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) and the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) to choose the most appropriate method for pesticide removal in drinking water treatment. The goal of this approach is to prioritize and choose treatment options for different pesticide groups. To represent different pesticide groups, diuron, and cypermethrin were selected based on toxicity, worldwide occurrence, persistence, and physicochemical properties. The results of all MCDM techniques show that nanofiltration is the best alternative for diuron removal and granular activated carbon adsorption is the most appropriate process for cypermethrin removal. Hybrid MCDM techniques is the best method to choose the treatment technologies to comply with technical, financial, and environmental requirements. The assessment of pesticide removal methods using hybrid AHP/MCDM approach has never been performed before in drinking water treatment, and it has been shown to be a promising way for ranking treatment processes for pesticides.

Abstract
Developing and increasing the economy are the important goals, which any economy follows. The main goal of the study is to explore the impact of variables of macro-economy like human, physical properties, and the value of government on developing the economy of Iran. Therefore, the data from Iran from 1990 to 2020 was used by utilizing the Auto-Aggression Distributed Lag (ARDL). The results of the estimation of the long-term relations in the base of ARDL models show the coefficient related to physical properties variable and human properties have been estimated significantly and positively. Also, the coefficient variable of force and the value of government were estimated negatively as the percentage of the government’s spending from impure. The coefficient of error correction sentence was estimated as -0.31, which is completely significant and expected. In base of this study’s results, the physical properties and human properties variables are the important variables, which impact on economy development and can develop the economy of country by increasing the personal abilities and producing and people’s potentials. While in Iran, because of the existed economy structure, the role of government in economy is so vital but the high volume of job opportunities can have the negative impact on the body of economy, which this study tries to reflex it, and by making the government’s spending meaningful through the developing programs of country and perspective proof can be important and effective step through the mentioned goals.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
We present a novel neural radiance model that is trainable in a selfsupervised manner for novel-view synthesis of dynamic unstructured scenes. Our end-to-end trainable algorithm learns highly complex, realworld static scenes within seconds and dynamic scenes with both rigid and non-rigid motion within minutes. By differentiating between static and motion-centric pixels, we create high-quality representations from a sparse set of images. We perform extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluation on existing benchmarks and set the state-of-the-art on performance measures on the challenging NVIDIA Dynamic Scenes Dataset. Additionally, we evaluate our model performance on challenging real-world datasets such as Cholec80 and SurgicalActions160. We have made the available at https://github.com/ShujaKhalid/wildNeRF.
Factors other than climate change are currently more important in predicting how well fruit farms are doing financially
Authors: Obster Fabian , Bohle Heidi , Pechan Paul 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Supervised machine learning and statistical modeling methods were used to analyze the impact of climate change on financial wellbeing of fruit farmers in Tunisia and Chile. The analysis was based on face to face interviews with 801 farmers. This is the first report directly comparing climate change hazards with other factors potentially impacting financial wellbeing of (fruit) farms. Certain climate change factors, namely increases in temperature and reductions in precipitation, can regionally impact self-perceived financial wellbeing of fruit farmers. Specifically, increases in temperature and reduction in precipitation can have a measurable negative impact on the financial wellbeing of farms in Chile. This effect is less pronounced in Tunisia. However, climate change is only of minor importance for predicting farm financial wellbeing, especially for farms already doing financially well. Factors that are more important, mainly in Tunisia, included trust in information sources and prior farm ownership. Other important factors include farm size, water management systems used and diversity of fruit crops grown. Moreover, some of the important factors identified differed between farms doing and not doing well financially. Interactions between factors may improve or worsen farm financial wellbeing.

Abstract
Background: Maternal complications, including gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders and delivery of a preterm or a growth restricted baby, are higher among women with overweight or obesity.
Objective: To determine perinatal and maternal outcome in relation to maternal obesity and overweight among Sudanese women.
Methods: It was a descriptive, cross-sectional and hospital-based study conducted in Bashier Teaching Hospital, Sudan from July 2021 to January 2022. Three hundred pregnant women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study were enrolled in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire which filled with women included in the study and after taking informed consent.
Results: The mean of age was 31.31 ±2.88 among the overweight group and 29.03 ±3.83 among the obese group . The rate of preeclampsia was (38.5% vs. 12.9%), anemia (8.2% vs. 2.2%) , DVT (1.6% vs. 0.0%) , polyhydramnios (6.6% vs. 3.4%) and gestational diabetes (9.8% vs. 4.5%). These were significantly (p-value < 0.05) higher in obese cases as compared to overweight women. Significantly (p-value < 0.05) higher rates of IUFD (2.5% vs. 0.6%), low apgar score <7 (30. 3% vs. 11.8%) %), admission to NICU (26. 2% vs. 12.4%) was noted among obese group.
Conclusion: The study concluded that overweight and obesity were associated with significant and higher maternal outcome such as development of gestational diabetes , hypertensive disorders, intraprtum and postpartum hemorrhage and other disorders.

Abstract

Background
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which patients experience altered perception of the world. It has been reported to manifest in smell impairment similar to other neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. The sense of smell functions through olfactory receptor genes (ORs), a large family of G protein coupled receptors (GPCR), however, how it relates to neurotransmitters dysfunction associated with schizophrenia remains largely speculative.
Methods
Based on preliminary findings of ORs enrichment in whole genomes/exomes of seven families with multiple siblings affected with schizophrenia, sequence data were further interrogated focusing this time on ORs genes. A separate study using 10 different odorants was carried out in 116 healthy controls, 24 patients and 18 healthy first degree relatives, to test their olfactory identification and detection abilities.
Results and Discussion
In concordance with the literature, there were significant differences between schizophrenia cases and population healthy controls in smell identification rather than total detection with P ≤ 0.001.
Although no single variant was found shared between all seven families, several pathogenic variants were shared between two families or more, with marked enrichment in chromosome 11. Four rare variants were detected in one family together with eight rather common variants associated with sensory perception .Network analysis showed centrality of olfactory and non-ORs genes like Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway which may shed light on possible functional aspects of the OR impairment in schizophrenia.
Conclusion
The implication of these findings and the marked inter familial variation warrants further investigation of smell impairment involvement in schizophrenia pathogenesis in both individualized and globalized settings.

Abstract
Corn distiller dried grains (corn-DDG) addition to pig diets has been limited due to fiber concerns. The purposes were to determine the metabolizable energy of corn-DDG (Exp. I) and the dose–response effects of dietary xylanase plus β-glucanase on nutrient and energy digestibility of growing pigs fed diets containing 25% corn-DDG (Exp. II). Pigs in individual cages were submitted to feeding periods of 5 d for voluntary feed intake quantification followed by 5 d for collection of feces and urine. In Exp. I, 10 barrows with 61.10 ± 3.25 kg BW distributed in a randomized complete block design experiment with five replications were fed a reference diet or a test diet (75% reference diet plus 25% corn-DDG). In Exp. II, 10 castrated male pigs with 29.69 ± 3.57 kg BW distributed in a Latin square design (two squares with four replicates in time) experiment were fed with 5 dietary xylanase plus β-glucanase levels (0, 50, 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg) added to diets formulated with 25% corn-DDG. The corn-DDG had 26.5% crude protein, 5.94% ether extract, 55.5% neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and 4,248 kcal/kg gross energy. The metabolizable energy of corn-DDG was 3,657 ± 189 kcal/kg. Increasing dietary xylanase plus β-glucanase quadratically influenced (P < 0.05) the NDF digestibility and digestible energy in growing pigs fed diets containing 25% corn-DDGS. Compared to the control, dietary xylanase plus β-glucanase addition increased digestibility and reduced metabolizability of crude protein. Dietary xylanase plus β-glucanase addition in growing pig diets containing corn-DDG increased NDF digestibility, allowing additional dietary energy and protein availability.

Abstract
Background: The benefits of physical activity and adequate sleep are well documented, and their importance strengthens with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and multimorbidity (MM). Interventions to promote physical activity and sleep that use commercial activity trackers may be useful non-pharmacological approaches to managing individual health; however, limited evidence exists on their use to improve physical activity in elderly patients with MM.
Methods: This study aims to measure the effects of behavioral change techniques (BCTs) delivered by a wearable device on physical activity (PA) and quality of sleep (QS) in elderly patients with MM. We designed an open-label randomized controlled trial with participants recruited through primary care and a specialist outpatient clinic. Participants must be more than 65 years old, have MM, and have access to smartphones. All eligible participants will receive PA promotion content and will be randomly assigned to wear a smartwatch. The primary outcome will be the participants' PA measurement at six months using the IPAQ-SF. Secondary outcomes will include changes in the participants' frailty status, biometric measurements, quality of life, and biopsychosocial assessments. A sample size of 40 participants per arm was calculated to detect group differences, with 50 participants recruited and randomized into each arm.
Discussion: This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of PA patterns and the impact of wearable-based PA interventions in patients with MM. In addition, we aim to contribute to more knowledge about the relationship between PA patterns, Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs), and healthcare resource utilization in patients with MM. To achieve this, the study will leverage a locally developed PROMs registry and assess data from participants' medical records, in order to understand the added impact of wearable data and medical information data on predicting PROMs and unplanned hospital admissions.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Solo living or living alone with geographically near support among older people is considered by some as a life-style choice. However, kinlessness may prove to be critical for the health and well-being among older people. This cross-sectional study examined the profile of older people living alone and to determine their risk for health deterioration based on self-rated health, limitations in physical function, and functional disabilities. Data collection was through an online survey from a close social media group with members from all over the world, who identified as older people living alone with no geographically close family members. The Vulnerable Elder Survey (VES-13) developed by Saliba et al. (2001) was used for the purpose of examining vulnerability of the older people living in the community. Our findings show that older adults in our study, even though they are still able to cope living alone in the community, 21.4% were considered vulnerable and at risk of health decline. Less than half of participants (n = 137; 43.8%) have an advanced medical care plan and more than 50% (n = 242) of participants did not have access to any organisation or agency that assists with health appointment/visits. In terms of the matters that concern participants the most while living alone in the community, healthcare access (valid% = 35.8%) and affordability (valid% = 35.8%) ranked as topmost priorities, followed by the social involvement, climate and weather, preserving and promoting health, transportation, physical fitness and spiritual well-being. Our findings suggested that multi-sectoral effort by way of community members, beyond the healthcare settings (i.e., lawyers and policymakers) is needed to identify and address the challenges faced by older people living alone while they are still residing within their communities and have competent decision-making capacity, particularly matters concerning their health and access to healthcare services.

Abstract

In the northern forelands of the Alps, farmers report an increase of Jacobaea aquatica in production grasslands. Due to its toxicity, the species affects grassland productivity and makes costly control measures necessary. We are investigating the extent to which management practices or climatic factors are responsible for the increase of the species, and how the situation will change as a result of climate change. We tested for effects of management intensity, fertilization, agri-environmental measures and injuries to soil and sward and modeled the species' risk of occurrence under rcp4.5 and rcp8.5 scenarios. Main determinants of the occurrence of the species are soil type and summer rainfall. A high risk is associated with wet soils and more than 400 mm rain between June and August. An influence of the management related factors could not be detected. Under the climate scenarios, the overall occurrence risk decreases, and shifts to the wetter alpine regions. The reported increase is rather a shift in the occurrence of the species due to the altered precipitation situation. Under future climatic conditions, the species will decline and retreat to higher regions in the Alps. This will decrease the risk of forage contamination in lower production grassland.
