Usos da Terra e Conservação da Biodiversidade na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Marapanim, Pará (Land use and biodiversity conservation in the Marapanim River Basin, Pará)

A bacia hidrográfica do rio Marapanim está localizada na região nordeste do estado do Pará, que se constitui em uma das fronteiras de colonização agrícola mais antiga da Amazônia, e que ao longo do seu processo de ocupação sofreu forte pressão sobre sua cobertura vegetal. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a dinâmica do desmatamento, a partir dos usos da terra, e a aplicabilidade das Áreas Prioritárias para Conservação (APC) nas políticas de gestão territorial do estado como o Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico (ZEE). Os resultados mostraram um quadro grave de supressão da cobertura vegetal, que resultou em 80% da área da bacia desmatada. Esse quadro é acompanhado pela fragmentação da floresta o que ocasiona fragmentação de habitats e perda de biodiversidade. Como alternativa para a reversão desse quadro, propõe-se ações associadas ao ordenamento dos planos diretores municipais, à gestão integrada, à formação de cadeia produtiva para uso sustentável dos recursos naturais, à criação de UCs, uma vez que na área da bacia existem apenas duas de uso sustentável que são as Reservas Extrativistas Marinhas Cuiara Cuinarana e Mestre Lucindo, a fim de garantir a conservação e proteção dos remanescentes florestais na região da bacia hidrográfica do rio Marapanim.  A B S T R A C TThe Marapanim River Basin, located in the northeastern region of Pará, is one of the oldest agricultural colonization frontiers in the Amazon, which caused strong pressure on the original vegetation during the occupation process. The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of deforestation due to land use and the importance of the Priority Areas for Conservation (PAC) for the state's territorial management policies such as the Economic Ecological Zoning (EEZ). The results showed that 80% of the basin area is already deforested. The consequences are forest fragmentation, which leads to fragmentation of habitats and loss of biodiversity. To mitigate the problem, the authors propose associated actions to (i) the municipal management plans, (ii) the integrated management, (iii) the creation of productivity chains for the sustainable use of natural resources, and (iv) the implementation of new conservation units, since there are actually only two units for sustainable use that are Marine Extractive Reserves Cuiara Cuinarana and Mestre Lucindo in the basin area. Such a methodology will ensure conservation and protection of the remaining forests in the Marapanim river basinKey words: Land use. Biodiversity. River basin.
The impact of authentic leadership on innovative work behavior through the mediating role of employee-manager trust and organizational innovation climate

63 pages, 26 tables, 7 figures, 10 annexes, 104 references. The main aim of this master’s thesis is to evaluate the impact of authentic leadership on innovative work behavior through the mediating role of perceived employee-manager trust and innovative organizational climate. The Master thesis consists of three major parts – scientific literature analysis, research methodology, and empirical research results, the introduction, conclusions and recommendations, list of references, and annexes. The literature analysis examines authentic leadership, employee-manager trust, organizational innovation climate, and innovative work behavior concepts and peculiarities. Authentic leadership style and its components, interpersonal trust definition and factors influencing trust in leadership, innovative work behavior dimensions and the factors influencing innovative behavior of employees, components of organizational innovation climate and its impact on individual and organizational outcomes, as well as the linkages between the concepts. Based on the scientific literature analysis, the conceptual framework was developed to conduct quantitative research to examine the impact of authentic leadership on innovative work behavior through the mediating roles of employee-manager trust and innovative organizational climate. 228 respondents working in companies operating in Lithuania participated in the survey, of which 226 questionnaires were processed for further statistical analysis. Statistical data analysis was conducted using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SSPS). The mediation analysis was carried out utilizing the IBM SPSS 4.2 process macro version by Andrew F. Hayes. Statistical data analysis methods include descriptive statistics (means, frequencies, standard deviation), Cronbach alfa coefficient – to assess the internal consistency and reliability of used measurement scales, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests to assess the normality of data distribution, T-test, and one-way ANOVA (Bonferroni criterion) to estimate the mean differences according to demographic and organizational characteristics of respondents, linear regression and mediation analysis. The research results indicated that authentic leadership has a positive impact on innovative work behavior, however, the mediation analysis results showed that employee-manager trust had no statistically significant mediation effect, whereas the innovative organizational climate mediated the impact of authentic leadership on innovative work behavior. The summary of the scientific literature analysis and empirical research results, alongside suggestions, are presented in the conclusions and recommendations part.

The classification of the breakdowns per device, the incidence, and the tendency could be understood by introducing reliability engineering. Analysis, evaluation, and feedback on the failure generation history are useful to keep downtime to a minimum and to ensure safety.
33. Judicial Independence And The Rule Of Law

The paintings in the Groeninge Museum, were a potent reminder of the importance of judicial integrity and independence. Judicial independence is a means by which courts are made fair and impartial. Judges are constrained by the law and have a responsibility to apply the law to the facts that have been established before them. The maintenance of judicial independence is a necessary precondition for the protection of all the other values that consider to be fundamental. This chapter talks about the rule of law in relation to the former Yugoslavia. The former Yugoslavia is, of course, the region where the United Nations Security Council, in 1993, perceived a threat to international peace and security. The independence of the judiciary, which is essential for the promotion and maintenance of the rule of law.  Keywords: judicial independence; rule of law; Security Council; United Nations; Yugoslavia
Solution of Physics-based Bayesian Inverse Problems with Deep Generative Priors

Inverse problems are ubiquitous in nature, arising in almost all areas of science and engineering ranging from geophysics and climate science to astrophysics and biomechanics. One of the central challenges in solving inverse problems is tackling their ill-posed nature. Bayesian inference provides a principled approach for overcoming this by formulating the inverse problem into a statistical framework. However, it is challenging to apply when inferring fields that have discrete representations of large dimensions (the so-called "curse of dimensionality") and/or when prior information is available only in the form of previously acquired solutions. In this work, we present a novel method for efficient and accurate Bayesian inversion using deep generative models. Specifically, we demonstrate how using the approximate distribution learned by a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) as a prior in a Bayesian update and reformulating the resulting inference problem in the low-dimensional latent space of the GAN, enables the efficient solution of large-scale Bayesian inverse problems. Our statistical framework preserves the underlying physics and is demonstrated to yield accurate results with reliable uncertainty estimates, even in the absence of information about underlying noise model, which is a significant challenge with many existing methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method on a variety of inverse problems which include both synthetic as well as experimentally observed data.
Understanding of undergraduate students about Food and Nutrition Security and Human Right to Adequate Food

A garantia do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada demanda reflexão sobre a contribuição da universidade para a produção de conhecimento e formação de atores. O trabalho objetivou analisar as concepções dos graduandos dos cursos de Direito, Nutrição e Serviço Social sobre Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional e Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva desenvolvida com alunos de uma universidade pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, que ingressaram na universidade no segundo semestre de 2013 e estavam cursando, no mínimo, o oitavo período da graduação no primeiro semestre de 2017, quando se iniciou a coleta dos dados. Utilizou-se um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas sobre a presença das temáticas nos currículos, bem como avaliou-se a compreensão dos alunos sobre tais temas. Participaram 51 alunos do curso de Direito, 19 de Nutrição e 13 de Serviço Social. Os alunos do curso de Nutrição apresentaram maior conhecimento prévio e compreensão ampliada dos conceitos, que se fizeram mais presentes nas disciplinas. Apesar dos graduandos reconhecerem aspectos importantes relacionados à insegurança alimentar e nutricional, percebe-se a necessidade de ampliar essa discussão na universidade de modo que um maior número de pessoas tenha formação para a defesa do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e para contribuir para a elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional, que garantam o acesso ao alimento e à renda.
Judging the Market: Judicial Independence, the Rule of Law, and Economic Development

Independent judicial systems exist to protect individual rights from state encroachment and majoritarian pressures. Citizens’ property rights depend particularly on judiciaries’ willingness and ability to restrain the political branches of power. In turn, upholding the rule of law from the perspective of enforcing contracts and securing property rights is seen as crucial for promoting economic development because investment capital will flee without government commitments not to seize property or tax profits at confiscatory rates. This article brings empirical research closer to the understanding of those judging the market: investors, entrepreneurs, and analysts that recommend where to commit resources abroad. We test hypotheses connecting de jure judicial independence, de facto judicial independence, and the rule of law using a unique dataset of 174 countries from 1996-2019. Importantly, we find that judicial independence in practice (de facto independence) is more important for the rule of law than formal judicial independence (de jure independence). Thus, promoting de facto judicial independence can improve countries’ prospects for economic and political development. To be sure, courts in countries that have de jure independence can also be de facto independent. We find, however, that institutional talk is cheap in the context of the judiciary; markets will judge countries with low rule of law harshly for investment and ensuing economic growth.

Internet regulation as media policy: Rethinking the question of digital communication platform governance

This article identifies the current global ‘techlash’ towards the major digital and social media platforms as providing the context for a renewed debate about whether these digital platform companies are effectively media companies (publishers and broadcasters of media content), and implications this has for twenty-first-century media policy. It identifies content moderation as a critical site around which such debates are being played out, and considers the challenges arising as national and regionally based regulatory options are considered for digital platforms that are ‘born global’. It considers the shifting balance between the ‘social contract’ of public interest obligations and democratic rights of free speech and freedom of expression.
Glassy aspects of melting dynamics (On melting dynamics and the glass transition, Part I)

The following properties are in the present literature associated with the behavior of super-cooled glass-forming liquids: faster than exponential growth of the relaxation time, dynamical heterogeneities, growing point-to-set correlation length, crossover from mean field behavior to activated dynamics. In this paper we argue that these properties are also present in a much simpler situation, namely the melting of the bulk of an ordered phase beyond a first order phase transition point. This is a promising path towards a better theoretical, numerical and experimental understanding of the above phenomena and of the physics of super-cooled liquids. We discuss in detail the analogies and the differences between the glass and the bulk melting transitions.

Knowledge discovery interface in environmental science applications

Environmental problems such as global climate change and unsustainable developments in many parts of the world are evolving as major issues for the future of the planet and of mankind. Acidification of lakes and rivers, destruction of vital natural wetlands, loss of biotic integrity and habitat fragmentation, eutrophication of surface waters, bioaccumulation of toxic pollutants in the food web, and degradation of air quality contribute some of the many examples of how human-induced changes have impacted the Earth system. Also, anthropogenic stresses such as those associated with population growth, dwindling resources, chemical and biological pollution of water resources are expected to become more acute and costly. The approach to dealing with these environmental issues requires a balanced response in the form of an environmental management strategy. Such a response must utilize the best available scientific understanding and data in addition to an infrastructure that combines both in order to deliver sound science-based solutions to the myriad of environmental problems. This thesis proposes and implements a knowledge discovery interface (KDI) that provides an integrated platform for tackling the current environmental challenges by making use of existing applications. The existing applications that were employed in implementing this KDI include ESRI's ArcGIS Engine.

The Impact of the Constitutional Court's Decision on the Revocation of Authority of the Prosecutor submits a Judicial Review

The right to justice, and human rights more generally, requires the filing of a judicial review (PK) in Indonesia. A judicial review (PK) can be requested by an individual who believes that his rights have been infringed or that the court's judgment is incorrect. The cassation decision can be challenged in court by either the convicted person or the prosecution if they believe it violates basic principles of fairness and legal certainty. However, the Constitutional Court can in its decision revoke the prosecutor's authority to submit a judicial review (PK) because it is considered contrary to human rights, especially in terms of recognition, guarantees, protection and fair legal certainty and equal treatment before the law. This study used a qualitative research method with a statutory and literature approach. The results of the study stated that it was very important for the prosecutor to have the right to submit a judicial review (PK) on the cassation decision of the Supreme Court which was deemed not to have fulfilled legal certainty and justice for the victim and the state. If this is omitted, it will cripple law enforcement. The reason for submission, guarantee, protection and legal certainty for the convict cannot be fully recognized, because there are still rights to guarantee, protection and legal certainty for the victim and the people of Indonesia which must also be maintained and respected.

Climate change litigation as a tool for global environmental policy reform: A comparative study of international case law

Climate change litigation has emerged as a potent mechanism to hold governments, corporations, and other entities accountable for their role in environmental degradation and to drive forward global environmental policy reform. This comparative study examines landmark cases across various jurisdictions, exploring how litigation has been utilized to enforce environmental laws, promote stricter emission regulations, and demand climate-related disclosures. By analyzing a diverse selection of case law from regions including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, the study identifies key legal arguments, doctrines, and trends that have shaped the outcomes of these cases. It further highlights the role of non-governmental organizations, indigenous communities, and youth activists in initiating and advancing climate change lawsuits, thus emphasizing the intersectionality and global reach of climate-related legal action. The findings reveal a progressive alignment of domestic courts with international climate frameworks, such as the Paris Agreement, demonstrating how litigation has become an influential tool for environmental advocacy and policy reform. This research contributes to the growing discourse on climate justice by providing insights into the legal strategies that have successfully driven systemic changes and offering policy recommendations for future climate governance.
Electrochemistry of Chemically Lithiated NaV3 O 8: A Positive Electrode Material for Use in Rechargeable Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Monoclinic NaV{sub 3}O{sub 8} was prepared via aqueous precipitation and subsequently chemically lithiated using butyllithium in hexane as lithiation reagent. The topochemical lithiation process leads to materials with variable lithium content depending on the lithiation reaction conditions. Up to 3 Li{sup +}/mol could be inserted chemically in the lattice water-free NaV{sub 3}O{sub 8} and result in cleavage of the particles, which leads to highly dispersed materials. In contrast to the chemical insertion method, almost 3.5 Li{sup +}/mol could be electrochemically inserted in NaV{sub 3}O{sub 8}, corresponding to a specific charge of about 310 mAh/g. About 2.5 Li{sup +}/mol could be deinserted potentiodynamically in the potential range from 1.5 to 4.0 V vs Li/Li{sup +} from a chemically lithiated material with the composition Li{sub 3}NaV{sub 3}O{sub 8}. This corresponds to a specific charge of about 215 mAh/g. In galvanostatic cycling experiments, a specific charge of more than 200 mAh/g could be demonstrated for 100 cycles using this electrode material. The specific charges obtained are independent of the applied specific current up to 50 mA/g of the oxide. This behavior indicates that the sodium vanadate host material can support high lithium insertion and deinsertion rates, which make the chemically lithiated form anmore » attractive candidate for lithium-containing positive electrode materials in high-power lithium-ion batteries.« less
