ABSTRACT Although soybean is one of the most important agricultural commodities in the world, it has been losing genetic diversity in recent decades, due to the intense breeding process and reproduction method. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance and estimate the genetic diversity among inbred lines, and identify promising crossings. A total of 66 soybean genotypes were evaluated, 61 of which were pre-commercial lines, and five commercial cultivars (AS3797, DESAFIO, M7110, M7739, M8210) as controls. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with three replicates. The distance matrix between the inbred lines was calculated by Mahalanobis distance and grouping by the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The maximum distance was 1,776.26 between cultivar M7110 and the G23 inbred line, and the minimum 1.50 between inbred lines G13 and G36, with an average distance of 364.40, demonstrating genetic diversity. The traits that contributed most to genetic divergence were number of days to flowering (66.7%) and physiological maturation (28.55%). Inbred lines G60 (higher grain yield), G51 and G33 (lower physiological maturation) and cultivar M7110 (greater divergence) stood out. Four groups were formed, with G1 having the highest grain yield and fewest days to flowering and physiological maturation. The indicated crossings are between G60, G57, CD2728, M7110, G33 and G32 (group G1) and G47 (group G4).

RESUMO A soja é uma das mais importantes comodities agrícolas mundiais, no entanto, devido ao intenso processo de melhoramento e sua forma de reprodução, vem perdendo diversidade genética ao longo das últimas décadas. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico, estimar a diversidade genética entre as linhagens e identificar cruzamentos promissores. Para isto, foram avaliados 66 genótipos de soja, sendo 61 linhagens pré-comerciais e cinco cultivares comerciais (AS3797, DESAFIO, M7110, M7739, M8210) como controles. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos ao acaso com três repetições. A matriz de distância entre as linhagens foi calculada pela distância de Mahalanobis e o agrupamento pelo método da ligação média entre grupos (UPGMA). A distância máxima foi de 1.776,26 entre as linhagens M7110 e G23, e a mínima de 1,50 entre as linhagens G13 e G36, sendo a distância média de 364,40, demonstrando a existência de diversidade genética. Os caracteres que mais contribuíram para a divergência genética foram número de dias para o florescimento (66,7%) e maturação fisiológica (28,55%). As linhagens G60 (maior produtividade de grãos), G51 e G33 (menor maturação fisiológica) e a cultivar M7110 (maior divergência) se destacaram. Formaram-se quatro grupos, sendo o grupo G1 com maior produtividade de grãos e menor número de dias para o florescimento e maturação fisiológica. Os cruzamentos indicados são entre G60, G57, CD2728, M7110, G33 e G32 (grupo G1) com a G47 (grupo G4).

It is generally accepted that humans evolved in Africa, but several opposing conceptual models representing our origins have been proposed. We shed light on the divergence of human populations on the African continent and challenge traditional models, suggesting a new framework - represented by a tangled vine with offshoots - in which stem populations separated but continually exchanged genetic material. This work would not have been possible without sequencing the most genetically diverse human genomes in the world; contemporary African DNA is not only key to understanding deep human history, but is also central to answering other health-related questions.

Abstract Conflict is intrinsic to human societies, and its effects led to agreements such as the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognizes rights as the basis for freedom, justice, and peace. This research approaches the analysis of the conflict associated with the symbolic dimension in peace-building territories through the study of 6 cases of secondary information sources, evaluated in 3 categories of variables: statistical, socio-demographic, symbolic, to compare/contrast the elements of convergence and divergence during the processes of construction, resignification and destructuring of symbols in the collective memory. The research allows us to recognize how the symbolic dimension is a determining factor in the construction of identity in these territories.

Resumo Os sabonetes têm um papel importante para a nossa higiene e saúde, pois eles além de ter efeito bactericida, também removem as sujeiras presentes no corpo humano. Avaliar a eficácia de sabonetes com atividade antimicrobiana de diferentes marcas comerciais vendidas no Brasil. Foram realizados ensaios da atividade antimicrobiana dos diferentes sabonetes através do método difusão em ágar frente aos microrganismos Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Proteus mirabilis e Candida albicans. Todos os sabonetes comerciais testados apresentaram formação de halo de inibição antimicrobiana frente às bactérias S. aureus e P. aeruginosa. Apenas dois sabonetes comerciais apresentaram inibição das espécies A. baumannii e C. albicans. Nenhum dos sete produtos estudados apresentou inibição das bactérias E. cloacae, P. mirabilis e E. coli. Na comparação das informações contidas nas embalagens dos produtos com os resultados obtidos durante a pesquisa realizada foram observadas divergências. Os sabonetes que apresentaram maior eficiência contra os microrganismos testados foram aqueles das apresentações 1 e 2, que se mostraram eficazes contra as espécies de bactérias S. aureus, P. aeruginosa e A. baumannii e contra a espécie de fungo C. albicans. As marcas 3, 4, 5, 6 e 7 apresentaram o mesmo resultado de sensibilidade frente as bactérias das espécies S. aureus e P. aeruginosa, com variação quantitativa apenas do halo de inibição. Houve divergência entre as informações contidas nas embalagens dos sete produtos em estudo e os resultados dos testes experimentais.

Abstract Soaps play an important role in our hygiene and health, as they not only have a bactericidal effect but also remove dirt from the human body. To evaluate the effectiveness of soaps with antimicrobial activity from different commercial brands sold in Brazil. Tests of the antimicrobial activity of different soaps were carried out through diffusion in agar against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Proteus mirabilis, and Candida albicans. All commercial soaps tested transfer antimicrobial inhibition halo formation against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria. Only two commercial soaps inhibit the species A. baumannii and C. albicans. None of the seven products studied showed inhibition of E. cloacae, P. mirabilis, and E. coli bacteria. When comparing the information contained in the packaging of the products with the results obtained during a survey, divergences were observed. The soaps that provide greater efficiency against the tested microorganisms were presented in presentations 1 and 2, which become useful against the bacteria species S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii and a fungus species C. albicans. Marks 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 parallel the same sensitivity result opposite as bacteria of the species S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, with quantitative variation only of the inhibition halo. There was a divergence between the information contained in the packaging of the seven products under study and the results of the experimental tests.

O ato de cuidar cotidianamente de pessoas com dor, falta de ar e em morte iminente pode potencializar situações difíceis para profissionais da área. Contudo, raramente são discutidas nos serviços e no processo de formação profissional. Objetivou-se, então, analisar situações difíceis e sentimentos que emergem do cuidado de saúde. Esta é uma pesquisa de perspectiva fenomenológica e qualitativa, baseada em 30 situações difíceis de profissionais de saúde que atuam exclusivamente no cuidado paliativo oncológico. As entrevistas foram realizadas de agosto de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020. Os resultados mostram que as principais dificuldades foram motivadas pela identificação (quando o profissional vê semelhança com o paciente que cuida), morte ruim (com sofrimento), quando o paciente era jovem, morte de mãe com filho pequeno e quando havia divergência entre o proposto pelo profissional e a recusa do paciente. Percebeu-se relação entre tipos de situações difíceis e categoria profissional. Os profissionais expressaram tanto sentimentos desagradáveis (tristeza, impotência, angústia, medo) quanto agradáveis (compaixão, gratidão). Os resultados mostram que o ocultamento do processo de morrer ao longo do desenvolvimento civilizatório transformou-o em tabu, angustiante inclusive para quem trabalha com cuidados paliativos. Contribuem, também, para mostrar uma importante dimensão subjetiva do cuidado, geralmente negligenciada, que gera sofrimento, mas também ressignificação. Para que alguém cumpra seu propósito, é necessário encontrar sentido no trabalho, possibilitado pela modificação do estado interno do profissional pela experiência, que gera transformação e novo significado e saber a partir da práxis.

The act of caring for people in pain, shortness of breath, and imminent death on a daily basis can intensify difficult situations for health professionals. However, difficult situations are rarely discussed in the services and in the professional training process. This study aimed to analyze difficult situations and feelings that emerge from healthcare. This is a phenomenological and qualitative study based on 30 difficult situations of health professionals who work exclusively in palliative oncological care. The interviews were conducted from August to February 2020. The results show that the main difficulties were motivated by identification (when the professional recognizes similarities in the patient they are caring for), a bad death (with suffering), caring for young patients, the death of a mother with a small child, and when there was a divergence between what the professional proposed and the patient’s choice. There was a relationship between types of difficult situations and professional category. The professionals expressed both unpleasant feelings (sadness, impotence, anguish, fear) and pleasant feelings (compassion, gratitude). The results show that the concealment of the dying process throughout the societies’ development turned it into a taboo, causing distress even in those who work in palliative care. They also show an important subjective dimension of care, usually neglected, which generates suffering, but also resignification. To properly provide care, health professionals must find meaning in the work, made possible by the modification of the their internal mindset via experience, which generates transformation, new meaning, and knowledge from praxis.

Sin embargo, casi nunca se discuten en los servicios y en el proceso de formación profesional. El objetivo fue analizar situaciones difíciles y sentimientos que emergen del cuidado de la salud. Investigación de perspectiva fenomenológica y cualitativa, basada en 30 situaciones difíciles de profesionales de la salud que actúan exclusivamente en el cuidado paliativo oncológico. Las entrevistas se realizaron entre agosto y febrero de 2020. Los resultados enseñan que las principales dificultades se motivaron por la identificación (cuando el profesional ve similitud con el paciente que atiende), mala muerte (con sufrimiento), cuando el paciente era joven, muerte de una madre con hijo pequeño y cuando hubo discrepancia entre lo propuesto por el profesional y el rechazo del paciente. Se observó una relación entre tipos de situaciones difíciles y categoría profesional. Los profesionales expresaron tanto sentimientos desagradables (tristeza, impotencia, angustia, miedo) como agradables (compasión, gratitud). Los resultados indican que ocultar el proceso de morir a lo largo del desarrollo de la civilización lo convirtió en un tabú e, incluso, es angustiante para las personas que trabajan con cuidados paliativos. También contribuye a mostrar una importante dimensión subjetiva del cuidado, generalmente ignorada, que genera sufrimiento, pero también resignificación. Para que cumpla con su propósito es necesario encontrar sentido en el trabajo, posibilitado por la modificación del estado interno del profesional a través de la experiencia, generando transformación y un nuevo significado y conocimiento a partir de la praxis.

ABSTRACT: This research evaluated the agronomic performance through mixed models, and determined the genetic divergence between black oat genotypes. The experiment was carried out at Federal University of Santa Maria, Frederico Westphalen/RS. Fourteen black oat genotypes were evaluated, being 11 lines developed by Breeding Program of University, and three commercial cultivars (IAPAR 61, UPFA 21 - Moreninha and, IPR Cabocla). We evaluated quantitative traits associated to plant height, cycle, dry mass yield and seeds yield; and 19 qualitative traits, being these morphological descriptors. The results showed that lines UFSMFW 2-05 and UFSMFW 2-07 stand out with characteristics such as early cycle, higher dry mass and grain yield. Divergence analysis revealed the formation of three distinct groups, indicating the presence of variability. These results suggested the potential for the development of new cultivars of black oat, presenting early cycle and good grain yield.

Resumo Introdução O cartão da gestante é um dos instrumentos utilizados para avaliar o pré-natal. É importante fonte de dados para levantamento epidemiológico, sendo fundamental para garantir fluxo de informações e contribuir para a continuidade do cuidado. Objetivo: Analisar estudos que se detiveram na avaliação da completitude do cartão da gestante. Métodos Realizou-se revisão sistemática nas bases de dados Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, EMBASE e Web of Science e utilizou-se a checklist com base na diretriz Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). Resultados Quarenta e três estudos foram identificados, resultando em sete analisados. Os estudos apresentaram diferença metodológica, sobretudo quanto aos campos do cartão da gestante selecionados para análise, método de apresentação e interpretação de resultados, variando da frequência relativa com diferentes categorias à classificação pelo score de Romero & Cunha. Essa divergência limitou a comparação dos achados. Ainda assim, todos os estudos observaram completitude ruim em campos importantes do cartão da gestante. Conclusão É extremamente importante que profissionais e gestores valorizem o preenchimento integral do cartão da gestante, favorecendo a avaliação da assistência e a tomada de decisão durante o pré-natal.

Abstract Introduction The pregnant woman's card is one of the instruments used to evaluate prenatal care. It is an important source of data for epidemiological survey, being essential to ensure the flow of information and contribute to the continuity of care. Objective: Analyze studies that focused on the evaluation of the completeness of the pregnant woman's card. Methods A systematic review was carried out in the Scielo, Virtual Health Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases and the checklist based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guideline was used. Results Forty-three studies were identified, resulting in seven analyzed. The studies showed methodological differences, especially regarding the fields of the pregnant woman's card selected for analysis, method of presentation and interpretation of results, ranging from relative frequency with different categories to classification by Romero & Cunha score. This divergence limited the comparison of findings. Even so, all studies observed poor completeness in important fields of the maternity card. Conclusion It is extremely important that professionals and managers value the full completion of the pregnant woman's card, favoring the assessment of care and decision-making during prenatal care.

The concept of eschatology remained a captivating theological subject that theologians dedicated substantial time and resources to comprehend. Contrary to popular belief, some Christians may not prioritise theological discussions about eschatological details. Eschatological discourse - the fate of the universe, including humans and the physical world - may also be prioritised. Death, the second coming of Christ, judgement, rewards, heaven and hell are some of the eschatological themes that fascinate and disturb people because of limited understanding about the afterlife. African tradition religion (ATR) has been criticised for omitting eschatology in its belief system which this study debunks. This study showed that Christianity and ATR have the concept of eschatology and identified the main points of convergence and divergence in their eschatologies to demonstrate that ATR's eschatology is well-established but different from Christianity's. This paper adopts theoretical research, often referred to as conceptual research, since it is aimed at advancing knowledge. Christianity and ATR agree that physical death ends life in the body, and death symbolises the afterlife. Earthlings have limited time to fulfil their duties. Both sides agree that the soul and spirit survive death and resurrection. Christianity and ATR share many beliefs and traditions across sects, ethnicities and regions. These factors influence the eschatology of each tradition. Both faiths agree that present decisions impact fate and eternity. They also agree that God opposes immorality, but the virtuous will inhabit a place of joy. Positive and negative conduct are punished differentially. INTRADISCIPLINARY AND/INTERDISCIPLINARY IMPLICATIONS: This work discusses end-of-life issues that strongly relate to systematic theology and African traditional religion, emphasising that while their eschatologies differ, they share a belief in life after death. African traditional religion should not be mocked as a religion without eschatology

BACKGROUND: Fusional vergence amplitude is the amount of convergence and divergence that can be induced before fusion is lost and fusional vergence amplitude controls heterophoria AIM: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between near heterophoria, near fusional vergence (NFV), and near point of convergence (NPC SETTING: Al-Neelain Eye Hospital Khartoum, Sudan METHODS: A hospital-based prospective study from February to October 2019, included 230 patients with age range of 15-30 years and mean age and standard deviation of 19.46 ± 3.33 years. The alternate cover test with prism was used to measure near heterophoria and a prism bar was used to measure quantity of fusional vergence. All measurements were taken at near heterophoria (0.33 m). Then the associations between near heterophoria, NFV and NPC were assessed RESULTS: The most common heterophoria at near among the participants was exophoria: 200 (87.0%). Reported complaints of asthenopia were commonly found among these exophoric patients: 106 (86.9%) (P = 0.735). Positive fusional vergence (PFV) to the break point varied according to the forms of heterophoria (P = 0.003). Esophoria had a higher PFV to break point than exophoria (30.83 ± 8.79Δ compared to 25.59 ± 10.07Δ). Negative fusional vergence at the break and recovery points were higher among those with exophoria and lower in esophoria (P ˃ 0.05). The NPC differed by the type of heterophoria (P = 0.01), with exophoria and slightly receded NPC (8.38 cm ± 3.33 cm) than for participants with esophoria (6.77 cm ± 1.52 cm CONCLUSIONS: Exophoria was the most common type of near heterophoria, with asthenopia being the most reported complaint. Esophoria was found to be strongly associated with high PFV. Exophoria, on the contrary, is related to significant high NFV at the blur, beak, and recovery point. The NPC differed significantly by the type of near heterophoria, with exophoria having more receded NPC compared to those with esophoria CONTRIBUTION: This study provides information on the commonest type of near heterophorias among a sample of Sudanese adolescents and young adults, namely exophoria. Near point of convergence and NFV at break and recovery points were significantly different according to forms of near heterophoria

Abstract Introduction: The Boyacá paramos cover 18.3 % of the Colombian surface, and are diverse in flora and fauna, moreover, have a high temperature, topography, and habitats, which allow these ecosystems to be centers of diversity in the Neotropics, and therefore they harbor a high diversity of bryophytes. Objectives: Analyze the structure and composition of the bryophyte communities of the paramos in the Boyacá complexes. Methods: Using literature, databases and herbariums records, the floristic composition, and the completeness of the sampling for the paramo and substrate complexes was evaluated. Results: We analyzed 5 132 specimens, with 343 species of mosses being the most diverse group, 256 liverworts and two hornworts. The sampling completeness analysis is 98 % representative. In addition, we found that the preference of substrates is terrestrial with 409 species and corticolous with 341. Alpha diversity of order 0D showed that Tota-Bijagual-Mamapacha (TBM) is the most diverse complex with 368 species, and Pisba (124) the least diverse; the 1D index showed that the complex (TBM) presented 178 species considered common, and the dominance of species (2D) was higher in the Iguaque-Merchán Complex with 119 dominant taxa and Guantiva-La Russia (105) and TBM (105) to a lesser number. (102). Conclusions: the analysis of beta diversity showed that 62 % of the dissimilarity in the composition of species between the complexes is due to the species turnover, the same happens with the divergence by substrates that is 51 %. Bryophytes in the Boyacá paramos represent 36.05 % of Colombian diversity, and 2.96 % worldwide.

Resumen Introducción: Los páramos de Boyacá cubren el 18.3 % de la superficie de Colombia, y son diversos en flora y fauna, además, registran una alta variabilidad climática, topográfica y de hábitats, que permite que estos ecosistemas sean centros de diversidad en el Neotrópico, y por tanto albergan una alta diversidad de briófitos. Objetivo: Analizar la estructura y composición de las comunidades de briófitos de los complejos de páramos de Boyacá. Métodos: a partir de información de literatura, bases de datos y revisión de herbarios, se evaluó la composición florística y la completitud de muestreo para los complejos de páramos y sustratos. Resultados: Se encontraron 5 132 ejemplares, con 343 especies de musgos que fue el grupo más diverso, 256 hepáticas y dos antocerotes. El análisis de completitud de muestreo es representativo en un 98 %. Además, encontramos que la preferencia de sustratos es el terrícola con 409 especies y el cortícola con 341. La diversidad alfa del orden 0D mostró que Tota-Bijagual-Mamapacha (TBM) es el complejo más diverso con 368 especies, y Pisba (124) el menos diverso; el índice 1D mostró que el complejo (TBM) presentó 178 especies consideradas comunes, y la dominancia de especies (2D) fue mayor en el complejo Iguaque-Merchán con 119 taxa dominantes y en menor número Guantiva-La Rusia (105) y TBM (102). Conclusiones: El análisis de la diversidad beta mostró que el 62 % de la disimilitud en la composición de especies entre los complejos se debe al recambio de especies, igualmente sucede con la divergencia por sustratos que es del 51 %. Los briófitos en los páramos de Boyacá representan el 36.05 % de la diversidad colombiana, y el 2.96 % a nivel mundial.

ABSTRACT The study aims to analyze convergence and divergence between emotional intelligence and academic performance in the university context, considering that they are two similar categories, but each one with unique characteristics. The prism method has been used, based on the data of scientific documents. It was elaborated based on data collected from Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science, fundamentally considering original articles and literature reviews; for access to relevant documents, advanced search protocols were developed according to the characteristics of each database using Boolean algebra and other arguments. The analysis of 1011 scientific articles, the same ones that after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria were screened and considered for analytical reading of 78 documents. It is concluded that the relationship between the categories is convergent and divergent considering the autonomy of each one. Emotional intelligence, in its relationship with academic performance, is observed not only as a major category, but is also linked to: self-realization, self-concept, adaptability, self-management, motivation, self-esteem, emotion management, anxiety, depression, and resilience. The significant finding is based on the proposal of the concept of academic performance, which leads to the spiritual and cognitive development of the individual.

RESUMEN El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar convergencia y divergencia entre inteligencia emocional y rendimiento académico en el contexto universitario, considerando que se trata de dos categorías símiles, pero con singulares características. Se ha empleado el método prisma en base a la data de documentos científicos, fue elaborada en base a datos recopilados de Scopus, PubMed y Web of Science, considerando fundamentalmente artículos originales y revisiones de literatura; para el acceso a los documentos relevantes se elaboraron protocolos avanzados de búsqueda de acuerdo a las características de cada base de datos usando álgebra booleana y otros argumentos. El análisis de 1011 artículos científicos, los mismos que luego de aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión fueron cribados y considerados para la lectura analítica 78 documentos. Se concluye que la relación entre las categorías es convergente y divergente considerando la autonomía de cada una. La inteligencia emocional, en su relación con el rendimiento académico, es observada no solo como categoría mayor, sino que están vinculadas a: auto realización, autoconcepto, adaptabilidad, autogestión, motivación, autoestima, gestión de emociones, ansiedad y depresión, resiliencia. El hallazgo significativo se sustenta en la propuesta del concepto del rendimiento académico, el mismo que conduce al desarrollo espiritual y cognitivo del individuo.

Abstract The purpose of this article lies in addressing the contemporary challenge of evaluating companies and brands, delving into the historical development of objective economic value and subjective economic value. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding that supports strategic decision-making in a dynamic business environment. To achieve this, it delves into the complexity of business value and brand value, considering both objective financial measurements and subjective intangible aspects. The research, with a descriptive and documentary approach, emphasizes the need to integrate both perspectives. It focuses on revealing the convergence and divergence between objective value, represented by traditional financial metrics, and subjective value, reflected in intangible elements. This hybrid and holistic approach allows for a more complete and profound understanding of business value, enabling well-informed and solid decision-making in a highly competitive and ever-changing business environment.

ABSTRACT Segmentation is one of the inferential applications for detecting patterns in digital images, which has been widely used in the health area. Thresholding, a type of segmentation, consists of separating the gray groups of an image, through one or more thresholds applied to the histogram. Thus, we used the gray tone with the lowest Fuzzy Divergence found to apply the enhancement method, through membership values. This paper presents a method to assist physicians in interpreting lung radiography images, especially in the pandemic caused by COVID-19, when enhancing lung images. In addition, we consulted with a group of medical experts who saw an improvement in image quality, providing the perception of detail in the enhanced image compared to the original image.

Resumo Este artigo observa o crescimento da produção científica e tecnológica mundial, procurando avaliar se a distribuição internacional de conhecimentos em ciência e em tecnologia regista cenários de “convergência” ou de “divergência” entre 1996 e 2018. É nesse quadro que são considerados os casos do Brasil e de Portugal. Concluiu-se que, apesar de se registar, tanto na publicação científica como na geração de nova tecnologia, uma diminuição da divergência relativa entre países, o distanciamento absoluto aumentou. Em relação ao Brasil e a Portugal, embora se verifique que cada um seguiu uma trajetória distinta, ambos apresentam uma dinâmica superior na produção de conhecimento científico do que no de conhecimento tecnológico.

Abstract This article analyses the growth of scientific and technological activities worldwide, attempting to assess whether there are “convergence” or “divergence” scenarios in the international distribution of knowledge in science and technology between 1996 and 2018. It is within this framework that the cases of Brazil and Portugal are considered. We conclude that despite there is a decrease in the relative international divergence both for scientific publication and new technology production, absolute distance between countries has increased. In relation to Brazil and Portugal, although it appears that each country followed a distinct trajectory, both present a higher dynamic in the production of scientific knowledge comparatively to technological knowledge.
