Abstract Only within the last decade, the works of Uruguay an Engineer Eladio Dieste (1917-2000) have been gaining international academic dissemination, one of whose main contributions in the realm of formal-structural conception within architecture and civil engineering reside in the iterative development of the structural typology of the gaussian vault shells in reinforced brickwork. However, there is not an established definition for this typology’s architectural geometry. Also, there is hardly any evidence of how such shells were designed. Therefore, the main objective, of this paper is to demonstrate the underlying geometric relationships in the discontinuous gaussian vault shells designed and built by Eladio Dieste in reinforced brickwork, the dominant typological variation within the object of study. This analysis was carried out by means of the parametric modeling and the polynomial regression of selected case studies from the primary sources, since such computational tools allow for the proper geometrical management of formally complex geometries. The expected contributions of this study reside in the deepening of the understanding of the relationship between the design process and the geometry of the object of study, as well as the understanding of the geometrical conformation of the structural typology conceived by Eladio Dieste. decade 19172000 1917 2000 (1917-2000 dissemination formalstructural formal brickwork However typologys s Also Therefore objective sources geometries 1917200 191 200 (1917-200 191720 19 20 (1917-20 19172 1 2 (1917-2 (1917- (1917 (191 (19 (1 (

Resumo Apenas na última década, a obra do engenheiro Uruguaio Eladio Dieste (1917-2000) vem ganhando disseminação acadêmica internacional, sendo que uma de suas principais contribuições para a concepção formal-estrutural na arquitetura e engenharia civil foi o desenvolvimento iterativo da tipologia estrutural das abóbadas gaussianas, cascas de dupla-curvatura estruturadas em cerâmica armada. Entretanto, não há registros de uma definição estabelecida para a geometria arquitetônica destas tipologias estruturais. Tampouco existem evidências concretas acerca da concepção e desenvolvimento projetual destas estruturas. Por conseguinte, o objetivo deste artigo é evidenciar as relações geométricas subjacentes nas abóbadas guassianas descontínuas projetadas e construídas por Eladio Dieste em cerâmica armada, a variação dominante desta tipologia estrutural. Esta análise foi conduzida através da modelagem paramétrica e da regressão polinomial de estudos de caso selecionados a partir de fontes primárias originais, justamente por estas ferramentas computacionais permitirem o correto manejo de geometrias tidas como formalmente complexas. A contribuição esperada para esta pesquisa reside em aprofundar o entendimento entre a relação do processo de projeto e a geometria resultante no objeto de estudo, assim como o entendimento da conformação geométrica desta tipologia estrutural desenvolvida por Eladio Dieste. década 19172000 1917 2000 (1917-2000 internacional formalestrutural formal gaussianas duplacurvatura dupla curvatura armada Entretanto estruturais estruturas conseguinte originais complexas estudo 1917200 191 200 (1917-200 191720 19 20 (1917-20 19172 1 2 (1917-2 (1917- (1917 (191 (19 (1 (

Summary Costa Rica, due to the characteristics of its territory, can offer modern, creative and innovative services in its tourism, based on knowledge, that use high technology and/or have qualified labor. Data from the BCCR indicates that, in the last decade, the percentage of tourism contribution to GDP was approximately 5%, therefore, a route is presented for sustainable and inclusive development, which enables quality jobs and promotes better redistribution of wealth among the inhabitants, framed with the commitment to the SDGs, adequate control of the macroeconomic variables of the domestic and international market; and changing the general tourism law, with the aim to have an activity governing body oriented to better coordination and management and its contribution to development.

ABSTRACT Introduction/framework/objectives: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a disease that can progress in a debilitating manner and affect some individuals of working age, so it will be important that professionals working in Occupational Health and Safety have a reasonable set of knowledge on the subject, to be able to adjust work tasks as best as possible, as well as any protective measures, enhancing well-being and performance/productivity. Furthermore, knowing the work factors that increase it, it will be possible to slightly reduce the incidence of the pathology. The aim of this review was to summarize in Portuguese the most current and relevant articles published on the topic in international and national literature. Methodology: This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in April 2023 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. Content: This pathology is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscular atrophy/paralysis, generally beginning in adulthood with an average survival of two to three years. The first manifestations generally involve asthenia of the lower limbs, generally in the 5th or 6th decade of life. Focal paralysis intensifies and spreads, reaching the respiratory muscles and culminating in respiratory failure. However, the pathophysiology is not clearly understood. Some researchers consider that the only environmental fact that could have any influence could be smoking; others even claim that the influence of global environmental exposure itself is controversial. At this level, with greater or lesser consensus, pesticides, fertilizers, solvents, heavy metals, formaldehyde, diesel, physical exertion/hypoxia, trauma and contact with electricity stand out. Therefore, there are also some professional sectors that may present greater risk. Discussion and Conclusions: Even though the prevalence of this pathology is low, some of these individuals are part of the active population, at least at an initial stage. No concrete data was found regarding protective measures or other relevant attitudes for the Health and Safety team to guide in this context. Even so, the authors succinctly recorded some items in this sense, depending on their professional experience, especially for pathologies with some similarities and more prevalent. It would be interesting for professionals working in a hospital environment, in an institution where there is a support consultation for users with this pathology, to focus a little on the topic, portraying the national reality and publishing their research in a magazine in the area, to disseminate knowledge at national level, with international extrapolation, given the scarcity of bibliography.

RESUMO Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica é uma doença que poderá evoluir de forma debilitante e atingir alguns indivíduos em idade ativa, pelo que será relevante que os profissionais a exercer na Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais tenham um conjunto razoável de conhecimentos sobre o tema, de forma a conseguirem ajustar o melhor possível as tarefas laborais, bem como eventuais medidas de proteção, potenciando o bem-estar e desempenho/produtividade. Para além disso, conhecendo os fatores laborais que a potenciam, poder-se-á diminuir um pouco a incidência da patologia. Pretendeu-se com esta revisão resumir em português o que de mais atual e relevante se publicou sobre o tema nas literaturas internacional e nacional. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em abril de 2023 nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Conteúdo: Esta patologia é uma doença neurodegenerativa rapidamente progressiva e caraterizada por atrofia/paralisia muscular, geralmente iniciada na idade adulta com sobrevida média de dois a três anos. As primeiras manifestações geralmente incidem na astenia dos membros inferiores, geralmente na 5ª ou 6ª décadas de vida. A paralisia intensifica-se e alastra-se, podendo atingir os músculos respiratórios e culminar em insuficiência respiratória. Contudo, a fisiopatologia não está esclarecida com clareza. Alguns investigadores consideram que o único fator ambiental que poderá ter alguma influência poderá ser o tabagismo; outros até afirmam que a influência da exposição ambiental global em si é controversa. Neste contexto, com maior ou menor consenso, destacam-se os pesticidas, fertilizantes, solventes, metais pesados, formaldeído, diesel, esforço físico/hipoxia, trauma e contato com a eletricidade. Desta forma, existem também alguns setores profissionais que poderão apresentar maior risco. Discussão e Conclusões: Ainda que a prevalência desta doença seja baixa, parte destes indivíduos estão inseridos na população ativa, pelo menos numa fase inicial. Não se encontraram dados concretos relativos a medidas de proteção ou outras atitudes relevantes para a equipa de Saúde e Segurança orientar neste contexto; ainda assim, os autores registaram de forma sucinta alguns itens nesse sentido, em função da sua experiência profissional, sobretudo para patologias com algumas semelhanças e mais prevalentes. Seria aliciante que profissionais a exercer em ambiente hospitalar, em instituição que exista uma consulta de apoio a utentes com esta patologia, se debruçassem um pouco sobre o tema, retratando a realidade nacional e publicando a sua investigação em revista da área, para difusão de conhecimentos a nível nacional, com extrapolação internacional, dada a escassez de bibliografia.

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rare medical-surgical emergency that must be treated early due to its high morbidity and mortality. It corresponds to a sudden interruption of the blood supply to a segment of the intestine, producing ischemia, cell damage, intestinal necrosis and eventually death if it is not treated. The main etiology of this condition is embolic-type arterial occlusion, followed by thrombotic, nonocclusive, and venous thrombotic. It is an infrequent pathology with a low incidence of 12 per 100,000 inhabitants in international series. During the information collection, no data was found on the Chilean population since before 1983. Its main symptom is colicky abdominal pain with a sudden onset, vomiting and diarrhea that begins after the pain. On physical examination, signs of shock and abdominal distention may be noted. Hemodynamically unstable patients should be urgently taken to exploratory laparotomy as soon as the condition is suspected, and in stable patients, an angio-CT should be requested to confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment. There are two methods to treat this pathology, open surgery and endovascular or minimally invasive surgery. The form of therapy depends on the preoperative or intraoperative findings and the type of etiology. Finally, with the advancement of these new methods, the mortality rate has decreased in the last decade.

Resumen La isquemia mesentérica aguda (IMA) es una emergencia médico-quirúrgica poco frecuente con alta morbimortalidad. Corresponde a una interrupción brusca del aporte sanguíneo a un segmento del intestino, produciendo isquemia, daño celular, necrosis intestinal y eventualmente la muerte. La principal etiología de este cuadro es la oclusión arterial de tipo embólica, seguida por la trombótica, no oclusiva y trombótica venosa. Es una patología infrecuente con una incidencia baja, de 12 por 100.000 habitantes en series internacionales. Su principal síntoma es el dolor abdominal tipo cólico de comienzo brusco, vómitos y diarrea, esta última sucediendo posteriormente. En el examen físico se pueden constatar signos de shock y distensión abdominal. Ante la sospecha, los pacientes hemodinámicamente inestables deben ser llevados urgentemente a laparotomía exploradora, y en aquellos estables, se debe solicitar un Angio-TC para confirmar el diagnóstico y planificar el tratamiento. Existen dos métodos para tratar esta patología: la cirugía abierta y la cirugía endovascular o mínimamente invasiva. Finalmente, con el avance de estos nuevos métodos, la tasa de mortalidad ha disminuido, significativamente, en la última década.

Tolstoy'sfiction is part of the cultural background of the South African intelligentsia. Moreover, generations of South Africans have been introduced to Tolstoy through screen adaptations of hisfiction, including Hollywood blockbusters and acclaimed TV series such as Anna Karenina (1935, 1948 and 2012) and War and Peace (1956 and 2016). Such exposure may well be the reason why, in the late 1990s, a survey among South African students of their perceptions of Russia showed that Tolstoy was the best-known Russian writer. During his lifetime, Tolstoy's work and personality were discussed extensively in Russia and abroad, including South Africa. He was one of the most influential and authoritative writers in the world and remained the best-known Russian author in South Africa. Tolstoy was the only writer of Imperial Russia who, for decades, received letters and guests from South Africa. His statements on the Anglo-Boer War of1899-1902 (also known as the South African War) attracted international attention which none of his Russian colleagues could match. Tolstoy wrote on South Africa, and his work was widely read there. Thanks to his erudition, ability to discern global trends, and interest in world culture and philosophy, Tolstoy had a profound understanding of political events in countries that he never visited and inspired leaders of liberation movements that he never met. His influence on South African realist literature can be traced throughout the twentieth century. This study of Tolstoy's and South Africans' views of each other focuses on Afrikaners, because in the last ten years of his life the Russian author often wrote and spoke about them, as is evident from his published works, correspondence and the archival material in the Tolstoy museums in Moscow and Yasnaya Polyana in Russia that were used for this paper. Furthermore, Afrikaner authors seem to have referred to Tolstoy's work remarkably often. By exploring these references, one can ascertain why Tolstoy's writing remained relevant to Afrikaners and other South Africans for more than a century. In the 1890s and 1900s, Tolstoy continued to develop his doctrine of not resisting evil with violence. He used information on the Anglo-Boer War to test his radical pacifist ideas. His protest against British imperialism in Africa echoed that of other world-famous humanist writers, such as Bjornstjerne Bjornson, Theodore Dreiser, Anatole France, Romain Rolland, Bernard Shaw, Bertha von Suttner and Mark Twain. But, unlike most of them, Tolstoy refused to support the Boers unconditionally. He sympathised with the defenders of the Boer republics, but as a principled opponent ofviolence he condemned those Christian people for engaging in armed struggle and killing, which he regarded as a mortal sin. During the transitional and guerrilla phases of the war, Tolstoy came to regard the continued Boer resistance to British invasion as a triumph of moral strength over immorality. He viewed the South African military conflict in a global context, as a typical war of a new era. Reflecting on the news from South Africa, he concluded that such wars were characterised by immoral goals and methods of warfare, and by non-participation in hostilities by those who directly benefitted from the hostilities (big entrepreneurs manipulating the government). Tolstoy argued that European governments were not interested in eradicating militarism, but nonviolent protest by ordinary people could well put an end to war. However, Tolstoy believed Russians, unlike participants in mass pro-Boer campaigns, were not to concern themselves with such protest because instead their main tasks were moral self-improvement and tackling injustice in their homeland. His concern with affairs in South Africa was limited to the Anglo-Boer War and the Indian civil rights campaign of the 1900s led by Gandhi, whose doctrine of satyagraha was partly based on Tolstoy's ethical teachings. Still, Tolstoy's influence on Afrikaner culture has been evident for over a century. Apartfrom direct contact, such as visits and letters to the Russian writer, Afrikaner cultural figures promoted his work, translated his fiction into Afrikaans and published their translations in almost every decade up to the 1990s. Along with other distinguished novelists of the late Imperial Russia, Tolstoy was viewed by Afrikaans authors as an exemplary realist writer who set standards that they aspired to but often regarded as unattainable. It only applied to his fiction, because Tolstoy's confessional writings and philosophical treatises did not seem to be recognised by Afrikaans authors, especially not after the Second World War. For these authors, Tolstoy was primarily a fiction writer. Tolstoy's work featured in South African literary debates with regard to resistance to abusive state authority and grappled with censorship. His fiction reminded South Africans of the humanist ideals that were meant to guide those who wanted to bring about positive change in an unjust, deeply divided society. Tolstoy's work stimulated introspection and reflection on literary mastery, the ethical standards of a writer and one's purpose in life.

Tolstoi was die enigste skrywer in Imperiale Rusland wat oor dekades briewe en gaste uit Suid-Afrika ontvang het. Sy stellings oor die Anglo-Boereoorlog van 1899-1902 het internasionaal aandag getrek op 'n wyse wat geeneen van sy Russiese kollegas kon ewenaar nie. Tolstoi het oor Suid-Afrika geskryf, waar sy werk wyd gelees is. Tolstoi se invloed op Suid-Afrikaanse realistiese¹ letterkunde is deur die hele twintigste eeu merkbaar. Hierdie studie van Tolstoi en Suid-Afrikaanse skrywers se sieninge van mekaar fokus op Afrikaners, want Tolstoi het in die laaste tien jaar van sy lewe dikwels oor hulle geskryf en gepraat. Afgesien van regstreekse kontak, soos besoeke en briewe aan die Russiese skrywer, het Afrikaner-kultuurfigure sy werk bevorder, sy fiksie in Afrikaans vertaal en hul vertalings in feitlik elke dekade tot die 1990's gepubliseer. Tolstoi, soos ook ander vooraanstaande romansiers in laat Imperiale Rusland, is deur Afrikaanse skrywers beskou as 'n toonbeeld van 'n realistiese skrywer wat standaarde gestel het waarna hulle gestreef het maar wat hulle dikwels ook as onhaalbaar beskou het. Tolstoi se werk het in Suid-Afrikaanse literêre debatte oor weerstand teen onregmatige staatsgesag en sensuur gefigureer. Sy fiksie het Suid-Afrikaners herinner aan die humanistiese ideale wat as rigsnoere moes dien vir diegene wat positiewe verandering in 'n onregverdige en diep verdeelde samelewing teweeg wou bring. Tolstoi se werk het introspeksie en nadenke oor literêre uitnemendheid, die etiese standaarde van 'n skrywer en 'n mens se lewensdoel gestimuleer.

Abstract The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the growing financing needs, and the consequent deterioration of public finances in many countries have created a propitious scenario for the return of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Latin America after almost a decade and a half of their estrangement. This paper aims at analyzing the relationship between the organization and the region in the context of the coronavirus. We seek to understand to what extent their renewed relations will mirror the IMF's “old-fashioned” preferences that have characterized its interventions during the last two decades of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. For this purpose, we first examine the Fund's official position, reflected in its flagship publications. We affirm that the institution, in its discourse, is increasingly permissive with the use of fiscal stimulus and the State's leading role in crisis resolution. Second, we confront the IMF's rhetoric with its practices, reflected in conditionality and policy recommendations contained in specific agreements signed with Latin American countries in the context of the current crisis. We conclude that the orthodox approach persists in the IMF's practices, but is accompanied by growing adaptive changes.

Resumen La crisis provocada por la pandemia de COVID-19, las crecientes necesidades de financiamiento y el consiguiente deterioro de las finanzas públicas de muchos países han creado un escenario propicio para el regreso del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) a América Latina después de casi una década y media de distanciamiento. El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la organización y la región en el contexto del coronavirus. Buscamos comprender hasta qué punto las renovadas relaciones serán el espejo de las “viejas” preferencias del FMI que han caracterizado sus intervenciones en las últimas dos décadas del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI. Primero, examinamos la postura oficial del Fondo reflejada en sus publicaciones emblemáticas. Afirmamos que la institución, en su discurso, es cada vez más permisiva con el uso del estímulo fiscal y frente al protagonismo del Estado en la resolución de crisis. Posteriormente, confrontamos la retórica del FMI con sus acciones concretas, reflejadas en la condicionalidad y las recomendaciones de política contenidas en los acuerdos firmados con los países latinoamericanos en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria. Concluimos que el enfoque ortodoxo persiste en las prácticas del FMI, pero está acompañado por crecientes cambios adaptativos.

Abstract The Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, published since 1925, is the most influential dermatological journal in Latin America, indexed in the main international bibliographic databases, and occupies the 50th position among the 70 dermatological journals indexed in the Journal of Citations Reports, in 2022. In this article, the authors present a critical analysis of its trajectory in the last decade and compare its main bibliometric indices with Brazilian medical and international dermatological journals. The journal showed consistent growth in different bibliometric indices, which indicates a successful editorial policy and greater visibility in the international scientific community, attracting foreign authors. The increases in citations received (4.1 ×) and in the Article Influence Score (2.9×) were more prominent than those of the main Brazilian medical and international dermatological journals. The success of Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia in the international scientific scenario depends on an assertive editorial policy, on promptly publication of high-quality articles, and on institutional stimulus to encourage clinical research in dermatology. 1925 America databases th 7 Reports 2022 article community 4.1 41 4 1 (4. × 2.9× 29 2 9 (2.9× highquality high quality articles dermatology 192 202 4.

ABSTRACT Although lung cancer (LC) is one of the most common and lethal tumors, only 15% of patients are diagnosed at an early stage. Smoking is still responsible for more than 85% of cases. Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT (LDCT) reduces LC-related mortality by 20%, and that reduction reaches 38% when LCS by LDCT is combined with smoking cessation. In the last decade, a number of countries have adopted population-based LCS as a public health recommendation. Albeit still incipient, discussion on this topic in Brazil is becoming increasingly broad and necessary. With the aim of increasing knowledge and stimulating debate on LCS, the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery, the Brazilian Thoracic Association, and the Brazilian College of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging convened a panel of experts to prepare recommendations for LCS in Brazil. The recommendations presented here were based on a narrative review of the literature, with an emphasis on large population-based studies, systematic reviews, and the recommendations of international guidelines, and were developed after extensive discussion by the panel of experts. The following topics were reviewed: reasons for screening; general considerations about smoking; epidemiology of LC; eligibility criteria; incidental findings; granulomatous lesions; probabilistic models; minimum requirements for LDCT; volumetric acquisition; risks of screening; minimum structure and role of the multidisciplinary team; practice according to the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System; costs versus benefits of screening; and future perspectives for LCS.

RESUMO O câncer de pulmão (CP) é uma das neoplasias mais comuns e letais no Brasil, e apenas 15% dos pacientes são diagnosticados nos estágios iniciais. O tabagismo persiste como o responsável por mais de 85% de todos os casos. O rastreamento do CP (RCP) por meio da TC de baixa dosagem de radiação (TCBD) reduz a mortalidade do CP em 20%, e, quando combinado com a cessação do tabagismo, essa redução chega a 38%. Na última década, diversos países adotaram o RCP como recomendação de saúde populacional. No Brasil, embora ainda incipiente, a discussão sobre o tema é cada vez mais ampla e necessária. Com o intuito de aumentar o conhecimento e estimular o debate sobre o RCP, a Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Torácica, a Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia e o Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem constituíram um painel de especialistas para elaborar as recomendações para o RCP. As recomendações aqui apresentadas foram baseadas em revisão narrativa da literatura, com ênfase em grandes estudos populacionais, em revisões sistemáticas e em recomendações de diretrizes internacionais, sendo construídas após ampla discussão pelo grupo de especialistas. Os temas revisados foram os seguintes: porque rastrear, considerações gerais sobre tabagismo, epidemiologia do CP, critérios de elegibilidade, achados incidentais, lesões granulomatosas, modelos probabilísticos, requisitos mínimos da TCBD, aquisições volumétricas, riscos do rastreamento, estrutura mínima e papel da equipe multidisciplinar, conduta segundo o Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS), custos vs. benefícios e perspectivas do rastreamento.

Abstract The last decade provided significant advances in the understanding of microbiota and its role in human health. Probiotics are live microorganisms with proven benefits for the host and were mostly studied in the context of gut health, but they can also confer significant benefits for oral health, mainly in the treatment of gingivitis. Postbiotics are cell-free extracts and metabolites of microorganisms which can provide additional preventive and therapeutic value for human health. This opens opportunities for new preventive or therapeutic formulations for oral administration. The microorganisms that colonize the oral cavity, their role in oral health and disease, as well as the probiotics and postbiotics which could have beneficial effects in this complex environment were discussed. The aim of this study was to review, analyse and discuss novel probiotic and postbiotic formulations intended for oral administration that could be of great preventive and therapeutic importance. A special attention has been put on the formulation of the pharmaceutical dosage forms that are expected to provide new benefits for the patients and technological advantages relevant for industry. An adequate dosage form could significantly enhance the efficiency of these products. gingivitis cellfree cell free cavity disease discussed review importance industry products

Abstract Over the past twenty years, in different parts of the world, there has been an increase in environmental conflicts related to mining activities. In order to understand how agents in the extractive sector have described these conflicts and the way in which they have acted in response to them, this article analyzes two sets of publications produced during the last decade. Risk and trend reports for the extractive sector prepared through consultancies by Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte and KPMG and three community relations manuals issued by the Brazilian Mining Institute, the National Confederation of Industry and the International Mining and Metals Council. We identified that the production and circulation of these materials are part of a set of authoritarian practices by extractive corporations set within at least three dimensions: i) an understanding that organized social actors who act in the defense of territories are risks that need to be managed; ii) the dissemination of “dialogue” and “social participation” techniques used to identify and classify social actors and iii) promoting the idea that the destiny of the territory is ineluctably linked to the corporation. years world activities them decade Young PricewaterhouseCoopers Institute Council dimensions i managed ii dialogue “dialogue participation iii corporation

Resumo Nos últimos vinte anos, observou-se um aumento dos conflitos ambientais relacionados às atividades de mineração em diversas partes do mundo. A fim de compreender como os agentes do setor extrativo descrevem estes conflitos e de que forma têm atuado para respondê-los, este artigo analisará dois conjuntos de publicações produzidos na última década. Os relatórios de riscos e tendências do setor extrativo elaborados pelas consultorias Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte e KPMG e três manuais de relacionamento com comunidades do Instituto Brasileiro de Mineração, da Confederação Nacional da Indústria e do Conselho Internacional de Mineração e Metais. Identificamos que a produção e a circulação destes materiais integram o conjunto de práticas autoritárias das corporações extrativas em pelo menos três dimensões: i) a compreensão de que atores sociais organizados que atuam na defesa dos territórios são riscos a serem gerenciados; ii) à difusão de técnicas de “diálogo” e “participação social” utilizadas para a identificação e classificação dos atores sociais e iii) a promoção da ideia de que o destino do território está inelutavelmente ligado à corporação. anos observouse observou se mundo respondêlos, respondêlos respondê los, los respondê-los década Young PricewaterhouseCoopers Metais dimensões i gerenciados ii diálogo “diálogo participação social iii corporação

Abstract Introduction Since more children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are surviving, policy changes are needed to improve their survival and quality of life. Global data and a literature review were systematically analyzed using The Global, Regional, and National Burden of CHDs, Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study, published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, which provided estimates of mortality from CHD. Objective To outline studies with CHDs and the concept of burden as a possible contributor to the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) over time. Methods Bibliographic references and related authors (2005 to 2022) were researched and analyzed. Web of Science (WoS), Clarivate Analytics, was chosen as the source database to outline the results through bibliometric analysis, which is characterized by a quantitative and statistical technique to understand and measure new issues, as well as identify some trends in current research, regarding the issue of burden in CHDs. Results Sixty-five selected publications were found according to the bibliographic survey using the keywords “Burden CHDs.” Afterwards, bibliometric analysis was performed, filtering the following results: years of publication; countries/regions; authors and number of citations; citation analysis; WoS index; types of documents; and research areas. The results are presented as figures. Conclusion The concept of burden addressing the issue of CHD has been used with great propriety for the development of goals for care of CHDs, mainly in the last decade, highlighting the year 2020.

Abstract In the past decade, machine learning techniques were responsible for a revolution in classification and regression tasks, making it possible to automate some laborious activities, saving time and reducing errors. It is known that the geological logging process is one of the most time-consuming activities accomplished by mining companies. Additionally, it is a subjective activity, and changes in the staff directly affect the geological databases due to different human log interpretation. By developing an automatic log classifier, a company can avoid problems related to the turnover of the staff by standardizing the criteria used to label an interval and can save time by avoiding manual log description. The proposed solution is: given the well log data containing the coordinates, resistivity and natural gamma, the model will be able to predict the presence or absence of coal, and its lithology. The innovation of the methodology proposed, considers not only the geophysical logging values, but additionally inserts the neighbourhood of a given depth as valuable input information, using Fully Convolutional Network. It performs a semantic segmentation using the well log data, which means that model´s input is the complete well log data curve and the trained model will return an output curve giving the probability of the presence of coal, by interval. The results showed good prediction for the binary problem (F1-score 0.79). The multi-class modelling suffers from the lack of data for each class, resulting in a F1-score from 0.38 for the worst result to 0.76 for the best. decade tasks errors timeconsuming consuming companies Additionally activity interpretation classifier description coordinates gamma coal lithology values information Network models s F1score Fscore F1 score F 0.79. 079 0.79 . 0 79 0.79) multiclass multi class 038 38 0.3 076 76 0.7 best 07 7 03 3 0.

ABSTRACT This article shows a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on polychaetes from Brazil, with a focus on the growth of the field, publication venues, citation patterns, the collaboration among the Brazilian community and foreign researchers, and the main research topics over time. The analysis was based on a corpus of 568 articles published in 144 journals, covering a period from 1966 to 2022. The results reveal significant growth in the field, with a surge in publications particularly in the last decade. The top journals for publishing include Zootaxa, JMBA, and Zoologia. However, despite this growth, the overall impact of the research output remains somewhat limited, with most articles receiving relatively low numbers of citations, and those with more citations have broader research questions. This research community directed its efforts especially to taxonomy and phylogenetics research, community ecology, and physiology (ecotoxicology). These topics formed a common ground for more specialized themes. International collaboration was driven by research specialization, better infrastructure, and funding of developed countries. However, seeking collaborations with countries from the global south can also enrich the research conducted by the Brazilian community and stimulate new scientific inquiries. Embracing greater creativity and audacity as well as pursuing common goals, should yet enhance the quality of scientific research and sustain the remarkable growth and consolidation of this renowned research community.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the historical-demographic evolution of Tijuana in the 20th century, particularly its migratory dynamics, underlining its international border profile and its distinctive economic and labor context. Methodology: Documentary and statistical investigation with population censuses as the main source, highlighting the use of this official resource at a regional and local levels in a period of one-hundred years. Results: This study manages to account for the variations in its population growth and its composition of natives and non-natives. Value: Describing Tijuana’s border configuration as a place of destiny is essential for understanding the societies that host migrants, whose pasts are reflected in its current constitution. Limitations: The analysis is limited to the review of the economic and labor structure in the 20th century. Conclusions: As early as the second decade of the century, a powerful transnational interaction is revealed, as well as a significant trend of internal migration throughout the century linked to a chain of labor attractions of diverse nature.

Resumen Objetivo: analizar la historia demográfica de Tijuana en el siglo XX, en particular su dinámica migratoria, subrayando el perfil fronterizo internacional de dicha ciudad y su distintivo contexto económico y laboral. Metodología: investigación documental y estadística cuya fuente principal son los censos de población. Este recurso se aplica a escalas regional y local considerando un periodo de cien años. Resultados: el estudio da cuenta de las variaciones en el crecimiento poblacional y en su composición de nativos y no nativos, constatando un incremento sostenido a lo largo del siglo, si bien los índices más altos se presentan en la primera mitad debido a diversos flujos de inmigración, lo que se sostiene a la población no nativa en proporciones significativas. Valor: describir la configuración de la frontera de Tijuana como lugar de destino es esencial para comprender las sociedades que hospedan a migrantes, cuyos pasados se reflejan en su constitución actual. Limitaciones: el análisis se circunscribe a la revisión de la estructura laboral y económica del siglo XX. Conclusiones: desde la segunda década del siglo se pone de manifiesto la construcción primigenia de una potente interacción transnacional y se revelan tendencias significativas de migración interna a lo largo del siglo vinculadas a una cadena de atractivos laborales de diversa naturaleza.

Abstract An international educational initiative to facilitate the exposure of geosynthetics to undergraduate civil engineering students has been conducted by the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) for over a decade. Geosynthetics is a comparatively new topic within geotechnical engineering and, consequently, has only been sporadically introduced into undergraduate Civil Engineering curricula. In particular, geotechnical engineering professors themselves may have not been exposed to the basics of geosynthetics to be able to comfortably transfer such knowledge to their students. As part of this educational program, civil engineering professors are invited to take a course on geosynthetics, for which they receive fellowships covering their expenses. The course also includes complementary components such as a workshop consisting of practical demonstrations, pedagogical material, and technical documents. Implementation of the program involves multiple parties, including the IGS, its national chapters, and geosynthetics industry, who are allotted the responsibilities of supporting the program instructors, offering practical project-oriented input. This paper describes the course structure, the educational tools employed, the impact on the program caused by the pandemic, and results from feedback surveys that assessed how the knowledge on geosynthetics acquired by the participants was transferred to their students in terms of new courses on geosynthetics, inclusion of geosynthetics topics in existing undergraduate disciplines, etc. Emphasis is given on the experience of the Brazilian Chapter of IGS, which has already conducted programs. The educational outcomes of the programs currently offered are being evaluated and they suggest excellent acceptance of the course by participants and undergraduate students at the universities.
