Remote areas that lack conventional water-provisioning infrastructure often rely on rainwater harvesting, rivers, pans, reservoirs and borehole-extracted water to meet domestic water requirements. These water sources often have poor microbial quality and chemical composition, the quality of which is not routinely monitored. This study explored citizen science as a tool for Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, detailing the co-creation of a sustained community-based water quality monitoring program in collaboration with communities in villages in Amakhala Game Reserve (Eastern Cape, South Africa). Without access to other water sources, participants predominantly used rainwater for drinking and cooking (80%), while borehole water was mainly used for cleaning and gardening due to its salty or bitter taste. A hydrogen sulfide (H2S) water testing kit was used by the citizen scientists to monitor the water quality. The H2S kits were effective in estimating bacterial contamination, showing a proportional relationship with Colilert® test results conducted in a laboratory. The alignment observed between community-based monitoring results and those derived from scientist-led testing underscores the value of data produced through citizen science initiatives. Sustained participant engagement throughout this research reflected a sense of community empowerment through access to tools that inform their decision-making around water use and treatment as well as investment in the research, indicative of the perceived relevance of the research to community interests. This integration of transdisciplinary data sources holds promise for informing evidence-based decision-making processes, facilitating more effective and contextually informed water management strategies that value and integrate community perspectives alongside scientific insights. SIGNIFICANCE: Drawing on the principles of Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, we applied citizen science tools to engage researchers and communities in the co-development of a water quality monitoring program. In addressing a specific area of concern, raised by the remotely situated community around the need for knowing their water quality, the project successfully trained communities in applying water testing tools and fostered agency in decision-making around water treatment. Combined with continuous feedback and communication loops, a high rate of continuity was sustained among the participants.

Este artigo analisa os resultados de uma pesquisa-ação que teve por objetivo contribuir para debates e ações com foco na ampliação das oportunidades de educação para a Primeira Infância. Consultamos moradores e profissionais que atuam na Rocinha/Rio de Janeiro/RJ e, através de um questionário semiestruturado, eles foram convidados a relacionar os temas inclusão, participação e segurança à educação das crianças nas instituições de ensino, em casa e na comunidade. Esses atores revelaram esforços para incluir, ampliar a participação e oferecer segurança às crianças, mas apontaram que o suporte do Estado e da sociedade é fundamental para a proteção dos pequenos moradores da comunidade. Isso indica a importância de se fortalecer uma rede local que dialogue sobre os temas abordados, proponha soluções alinhadas às necessidades dessa população e leve o debate aos responsáveis por elaborar e monitorar políticas públicas que possam melhorar as condições de vida das crianças e suas famílias.

ABSTRACT. Using satellite sensor data for studying sea surface temperature (SST) provides advantages over in situ information, such as obtaining data from large areas and remote access regions in short periods. However, differences between the SST values recorded in situ and those by satellite sensors are due to the intrinsic nature of both methods and meteorological factors. The present study aims to search the difference between SST values from in situ and satellite sensor data of 1×1 km resolution (type L4) from the Group of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) for an annual cycle in a socio-ecological critical area known as the Gulf of Ulloa (GU). The linear regression, linear spline regression, and logic models showed an overestimated SST by satellites compared to in situ data, particularly at temperatures below 20°C. The overestimation can be attributed to the oceanic-atmospheric variations, which are consequences of upwelling and the time lag between the data record morning by in situ and night by satellite sensors. This finding may be relevant in decision-making for marine resource management and conservation in the GU. The information may help to seek the sustainability of this social-environmental system.

Surface coal operations in which mining activities are conducted above old underground workings experience hot holes after drilling. In a coal mine, hot holes are defined as shot holes, which after being drilled have an in-hole ambient temperature of 40°C or above or show a temperature increase of 3°C or more during monitoring. Hot holes and other cavities, such as cracks, pose health and safety risks to workers, such as exposure to hot air and high concentrations of noxious gases released from these holes. In addition, workers may be exposed to premature detonation of explosives caused by in-hole temperature increases and chemical reactions. To this end, Coaltech Research Association commissioned a project to develop a Best Practice Guideline for the management of hot holes. This paper is a compilation of the activities conducted in the development of the Best Practice Guideline between 2021 and 2022. The activities included a review of standard operating procedures and hot-hole temperature-measuring and -monitoring devices, and the assessment of current hot-hole procedures at selected mines. The results indicated that management of hot holes requires a focus on pre-emptive risk assessment of mining blocks, identification of hot holes using the correct temperature-measuring devices, and continuous monitoring of hot holes from the time of drilling until just before blasting. Hot-hole management accessories, such as polyvinyl chloride sleeves, were found to be effective in insulating the hot-hole emulsion from the rock mass temperature, thus preventing the potential for premature detonation.

Abstract In this article, we present a case study that aims to analyze the curriculum of doctoral programs for the training of researchers, which presents distinctive pedagogical notes. This means training in a craft that has different characteristics depending on the disciplinary area. These particularities of the craft mean that training in it is a process of enculturation in a community of practice; in this case, the academic community. We conducted qualitative research of an interpretive nature, with a case study design. The data collection techniques were diverse: documentary analysis, interviews and focus groups. The results indicate that the curriculum is a collective construction based on the principle of interdisciplinary research on applied problems. For this, we propose pedagogical devices that promote joint work as a community of practice. Specifically, student participation in the design of course offerings, community-mediated monitoring (presenting one's own work in the research fellows meetings as a compulsory activity), and specialist-mediated monitoring (evaluation of the research project by an external researcher). The latter are formative evaluation mechanisms that promote accompaniment throughout the entire formative journey.

ABSTRACT Achieving the optimal energy balance in hydroponic greenhouses is a critical challenge in modern agriculture. This involves managing energy resources to create an environment conducive to robust crop growth. Researchers are exploring advanced thermal models and innovative technologies to enhance energy efficiency and establish a harmonious equilibrium in these controlled environments. Various studies have addressed the optimization of energy consumption in hydroponic greenhouses, with a focus on the greenhouse covering materials and real-time energy monitoring. This study aims to enhance the conventional model by optimizing the form and cover material of the greenhouse and considering new heat gain and loss parameters, including the direct and indirect lighting effect. This study demonstrates that the emitted light and energy consumption of the lighting system directly influence the energy balance. This innovative approach refines the understanding of the interplay between lighting systems and energy consumption, leading to more efficient and sustainable hydroponic greenhouse practices. Collectively, the contributions of esteemed researchers have significantly enriched the understanding of energy consumption dynamics in hydroponic greenhouse environments, setting new standards for energy efficiency, sustainability, and productivity in hydroponic agriculture. agriculture growth environments realtime real time monitoring parameters effect practices Collectively sustainability

Abstract The research presents a compilation of the strategies for the handling and management of mercury (Hg) carried out by Japan as a promoter and manager of the Minamata Convention. This agreement was established to reduce anthropogenic mercury emissions and prevent pollution worldwide. Article 14 of the agreement focuses on cooperation between the governments involved and provides technical assistance. That is why the activities were developed in the training course “Capacity building for the ratification and implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury” carried out in Japan, in which representatives from Ecuador, China, Sudan, Brazil, and Armenia. Ecuador is one of the countries that ratified this agreement in 2013, which is why it is necessary to understand the efforts developed by other countries, with a practical perspective, to know their feasibility and implementation in the long term in the national territory. This study describes the activities implemented in Japan, such as processing contaminated waste in the company Nomura Kohsan Co., Ltd. (Hokkaido), to know high-tech centers such as the National Institute for Minamata Disease (NIMD) and the Ministry of the Environment (MEGJ), and a tour of the environmental restoration project in Minamata Bay. The results demonstrate that the actions and policies adopted in Japan have considerably reduced Hg emissions, maintaining them at stable levels, which ratifies compliance with the different articles outlined in the Minamata Convention. Although efforts have been made in Ecuador to combat illegal mining where Hg and assist in mining districts, it is still among the most polluting countries in the region. Private and government entities must put effort into action plans to mitigate pollution and carry out periodic monitoring of emissions of this metal.

Resumen La investigación presenta una recopilación de las estrategias en el manejo y gestión del mercurio (Hg) que realiza Japón como promotor y gestor del Convenio de Minamata. Este acuerdo fue establecido para reducir las emisiones antropogénicas de mercurio y prevenir su polución a nivel mundial. El artículo 14 del convenio establece la cooperación entre los gobiernos involucrados y la prestación de asistencia técnica. Es por ello que las actividades se desarrollaron en el curso de capacitación “Capacity building for ratification and implementation of Minamata Convention on Mercury”, llevado a cabo en Japón, en el cual participaron representantes de Ecuador, China, Sudán, Brasil y Armenia. Ecuador es uno de los países que ratificó en el 2013 este convenio, por lo cual es necesario comprender los esfuerzos desarrollados por otros países, desde una perspectiva práctica, para poder conocer su factibilidad y ser implementadas a largo plazo en el territorio nacional. Se describen las actividades implementadas, en Japón, como la recolección y procesamiento de residuos contaminados en la empresa Nomura Kohsan Co., Ltd. (Hokkaido), visita a centros de alta tecnología como el Instituto Nacional para la Enfermedad de Minamata (NIMD) y el Ministerio del Ambiente (MEGJ), y recorrido por el proyecto de restauración ambiental en la bahía de Minamata. Los resultados demuestran que las acciones y políticas adoptadas en Japón han reducido considerablemente las emanaciones de Hg llegando a mantenerlas en niveles estables, lo que ratifica el cumplimiento de los distintos artículos expuestos en el Convenio de Minamata. A pesar de que en Ecuador se han hecho esfuerzos para mitigar el uso de Hg, aun así, se encuentra entre los principales países contaminantes de la región. Las entidades privadas y gubernamentales deben esforzarse en planes de acción para mitigar la contaminación y llevar a cabo monitoreos periódicos de las emisiones de este metal.

RESUMEN En proyectos hidroeléctricos se han realizado pocas investigaciones para determinar la composición taxonómica de dípteros de la familia Psychodidae, subfamilia Phlebotominae. En este trabajo se realizó un inventario taxonómico de flebótomos en el área de influencia de la central hidroeléctrica de Ituango, departamento de Antioquia con el fin de actualizar su distribución y resaltar su importancia médica como vectores del protozoo del género Leishmania. Para esto, se realizaron monitoreos entomológicos con trampas CDC y trampas Shannon, en diez municipios de la subregión occidente (Santa Fe de Antioquia, Peque, Olaya, Liborina y Sabanalarga) y de la subregión norte (municipios de Ituango, Briceño, Valdivia, Toledo y San Andrés de Cuerquia). Para la identificación taxonómica se utilizaron las claves de Young y Duncan y Galati. En total se recolectaron 7993 flebótomos, distribuidos en 39 especies según Galati, destacándose seis especies consideradas vectores de especies de Leishmania, que causan la leishmaniasis cutánea. Estas especies fueron Lutzomyia (Trl.) gomezi, Lu. (Hel.) hartmanni, Psychodopygus panamensis, Pintomyia (Pif.) columbiana, Nyssomyia trapidoi y Ny. yuilli yuilli. Los datos indican que la zona de muestreo es endémica para la leishmaniasis debido a la presencia de vectores transmisores de este parásito. El inventario sobre la distribución de flebótomos servirá de base para estudios posteriores que permitan la implementación de estrategias de vigilancia y control.

ABSTRACT In hydroelectric projects, few investigations have been carried out to determine the taxonomic composition of diptera of the family Psychodidae, subfamily Phlebotominae. In this work, a taxonomic inventory of phlebotomine sandflies was conducted in the area of influence of the Ituango hydroelectric power plant, in the department of Antioquia, Colombia. We highlight their medical importance as vectors of the protozoan of the genus Leishmania and update their distribution. Entomological monitoring was carried out in ten municipalities from the western subregion (Santa Fe de Antioquia, Peque, Olaya, Liborina and Sabanalarga) and the northern subregion (the municipalities of Ituango, Briceño, Valdivia, Toledo and San Andrés de Cuerquia). CDC traps and Shannon traps were used for monitoring. For taxonomic identification, the keys of Young and Duncan and Galati were used. A total of 7993 phlebotomine sandflies were collected, distributed in 39 species according to Galati, highlighting six species considered vectors of Leishmania spp. that causes cutaneous leishmaniasis, which are: Lutzomyia (Trl.) gomezi, Lu. (Hel.) hartmanni, Psychodopygus panamensis, Pintomyia (Pif.) columbiana, Nyssomyia trapidoi and Ny. yuilli yuilli. We conclude that the sampling area is endemic for leishmaniasis due to the presence of vectors transmitting this parasite. The inventory on the distribution of phlebotomine sandflies will serve as a basis for further studies that allow the implementation of surveillance and control strategies.

Resumo Introdução: O enfermeiro especialista na pessoa idosa é fundamental no acompanhamento sistemático da saúde desta população. O desenvolvimento de uma Consulta de Enfermagem (CE) estruturada à Pessoa Idosa (PI) que permita uma avaliação multidimensional para identificação das principais Síndromes Geriátricas (SG) é essencial, pelo que a Unidade de Saúde Familiar X (USFX) desenvolveu um projeto com o objetivo de implementar um guião de CE de avaliação multidimensional da PI de forma resumida, tendo por base o preconizado pela OMS para prevenir as SG e promover um envelhecimento ativo e saudável. Métodos: Investigação-ação-formação em cinco fases: diagnóstico da situação, planeamento, implementação, avaliação e divulgação de resultados. Para além de ações de partilha da informação e discussão, com base na literatura, foi construído um guião de consulta para estruturar as intervenções de enfermagem, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas aos 5 enfermeiros da USFX. Na implementação da CE os participantes foram 48 PI, inscritos para consulta especializada e presencial na USFX, após consentimento informado. Este projeto obteve o parecer positivo da Comissão de Ética nº157/CES/INV/2019.Resultados: O guião da CE especializada à PI foi desenvolvido com base no modelo de parceria para promoção do Cuidado-de-Si e o preconizado pela OMS. Através do mesmo foi possível identificar que 8% das PI tinham défice de memória; 25% risco de queda; 10% apresentaram diminuição da capacidade funcional; 23% depressão; 19% síndrome da fragilidade; 6% incontinência urinária; 4% anorexia e 27% das PI avaliadas apresentavam mais que uma SG associada. Conclusão: A metodologia de investigação-ação-formação contribuiu para promover a reflexão acerca da importância da realização da CE sistematizada e para a construção de um guião que direciona a intervenção do enfermeiro, suportada num Modelo, o que se torna numa estratégia eficaz na identificação e avaliação precoce das principais SG em tempo reduzido e incentiva a promoção do Cuidado-de-Si.

Abstract Introduction: A specialist nurse in the elderly is fundamental in the systematic monitoring of the health of the elderly population (EP). The development of a structured Nursing Consultation (NC) for the elderly that allows a multidimensional assessment to identify the main Geriatric Syndromes (GS) is essential, therefore the Health Care Center X (USFX) integrated in the Nursing Centers project “Age-Friendly Education and Health Institutions”, in partnership with ESEL, developed a project with the objective of implementing a NC guide for the multidimensional evaluation of EP in a summarized way, based on what is recommended by the WHO to identify the real problems/needs of the EP, to prevent GS and to promote active and healthy aging. Methods: Research-action-training in five phases: diagnosis of the situation, planning, implementation, evaluation, and disclosure of results. Data collection instruments: consultation guide to structure nursing interventions. To create it, interviews were carried out with the nurses and content analysis made, in addition to information sharing actions and discussion based on the literature. In the implementation of the NC, the participants were aged 65 or over, enrolled for consultation at the USFX, without cognitive impairment or communication deficit, after informed consent. 48 face-to-face NC specialist were carried out. This project obtained the positive opinion of the Ethics Commission nº 157/CES/INV/2019. Results: The guide used at the NC specialized in elderly was developed based on a theoretical model of nursing to promote of Care-of-the-Self (Gomes, 2021) and recommended by the WHO (2008). Through the use of the script in the NC it was possible to identify that 8% of the older people had memory deficit; 25% risk of falling; 10% had a decrease in functional capacity; 23% depression; 19% frailty syndrome; 6% urinary incontinence; 4% anorexia and 27% of older people evaluated had more than one associated GS. Conclusion: The research-action-training methodology contributed to promote reflection on the importance of carrying out the systematized NC and for the construction of a script that directs the nurse's intervention, supported by a Model, which becomes an effective strategy in the early identification and assessment of the main GS in a short time and encourages the promotion of Care-of-the-Self.

Abstract The concept of adapting agro-economic practices in order to improve production and environmental conditions transforms our agroecosystems. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in regenerative practices for this purpose. We carried out a study funded by Aland Foundation and the AlVelAl initiative. To achieve this, ALVelAl association gives technical support to farmers, working on the restoration of farmlands using regenerative techniques, organising training workshops that guarantee an open exchange of knowledge between farmers, technicians, and companies. In collaboration with AlVelAl, we explore the suitability of regenerative techniques in semiarid agro ecological systems. We carried out a monitoring project in one almond orchard in Illana (Guadalajara), and coordinated the implementation of regenerative techniques co-designed with the land manager. The aim of the regenerative techniques employed in this project improve the soil fertility and water content. We implemented six techniques: 1) minimum tillage, standard practice for the area (MT); 2) minimum tillage with organic amendments (MT&Compost); 3) minimum tillage with a legume crop as green manure (MT&Leg); 4) minimum tillage with mixed wheat and legume crops as green manure (MT&Mix); 5) minimum tillage with Brachypodium as green manure (MT&Bra) and 6) minimum tillage with wheat as green manure (MT&Ce). The total area of the trial is 5.400 m2. We aim to study the impacts of regenerative practices on soil parameters (bulk density and soil moisture) and on weed biomass and leaf area of almond trees. We presents the first results of the project obtained during the campaign 2022-23.

Resumen: La búsqueda de prácticas agroeconómicas que mejoren la producción en nuestros agroecosistemas de secano ha conllevado un aumento del interés por la agricultura regenerativa. Dicha agricultura está basada en prácticas que fomentan un manejo agrícola que restaura suelo, mejora la gestión del agua y fomenta la biodiversidad. La iniciativa de la Fundación Aland en las comunidades agrícolas locales de Andalucía y Murcia fomenta un agroecosistema productivo integrado denominado ‘Almendrehesa’. Este agroecosistema combina el cultivo de almendro con técnicas regenerativas promocionando la transformación y comercialización de la materia prima con valor añadido. En colaboración con el Territorio AlVelAl, exploramos la idoneidad de las técnicas regenerativas en sistemas agroecológicos semiáridos. Llevamos a cabo un proyecto de seguimiento en un huerto de almendros en Illana (Guadalajara), en el centro de España, y coordinamos la aplicación de técnicas regenerativas co-diseñadas por los investigadores y los gestores de la tierra. Se aplicaron seis técnicas: 1) mínimo laboreo (ML), práctica habitual para la zona; 2) mínimo laboreo con enmiendas orgánicas (ML&Compost); 3) mínimo laboreo con cultivo de leguminosas como abono verde (ML& Leg); 4) mínimo laboreo con cultivos mixtos de cereal y leguminosas como abono verde (ML& Mix); 5) mínimo laboreo con Brachypodium como abono verde (ML& Bra) y 6) mínimo laboreo con cereal como abono verde (ML& Ce). Se pretende estudiar el impacto de las prácticas regenerativas en parámetros del suelo (densidad aparente y humedad del suelo) y en la biomasa de las mala hierbas y área foliar del almendro. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados del proyecto obtenidos durante la campaña 2022-23.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to identify the key volatile compounds that characterize whether silage has deteriorated and to investigate the intrinsic link between the key compounds and silage odor. First, silages with different aerobic exposure durations were sampled, and sensory evaluation integrating aerobic stability monitoring was used to distinguish whether the silage had deteriorated. Subsequently, headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was utilized to determine the relative content of the compounds. Using the relative content of the compounds in each silage as input, relative odor activity value (ROAV) calculations and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to determine the odor contribution of the compounds and the compounds with significant differences in relative content (based on variable importance for the projection, VIP) between the deteriorated and non-deteriorated silages. Next, the key compounds were identified by combining the conditions of average ROAV (aROAV) ≥ 1 and VIP > 1. Finally, the OPLS algorithm was used to analyze the intrinsic link of key compounds with the silage odor. The results showed that three out of 63 compounds—4-ethyl phenol, eugenol, and ethyl linoleate—were key compounds to characterize whether the silages deteriorated or not. In addition, ortho-guaiacol, 4-ethyl guaiacol, and 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol were the specific key compounds for deteriorated silage. Eugenol and ethyl linoleate were correlated with fruity, sour, and spicy odors. In addition, guaiacol, 4-ethylphenol, 4-ethyl guaiacol and 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol contributed to roasted, musty, and putrid odors.
