LEVEL OF AWARENESS AND SEEKING SUPPORT AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE
No full textSubstance use disorders represent a significant public health and societal challenge, characterized not only by biological and psychological determinants, but also by deficits in self-awareness, stigma, and delayed help-seeking. The level of awareness of substance-related problems plays a critical role in recognizing the need for treatment and initiating timely medical and psychosocial support. This article examines the relationship between awareness of substance dependence and the adequacy of medical and psychosocial help-seeking. Drawing on contemporary theoretical models of addiction, including the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change and the concept of insight in addiction, the article integrates evidence from international research on stigma, motivation for change, and mindfulness-based interventions. Particular attention is paid to the role of awareness as a mediating factor between substance use severity, perceived stigma, and engagement with health and social services. The results of the author\u27s study show that insufficient awareness and internalized stigma significantly hinder help-seeking behavior, while higher levels of insight and motivation are associated with earlier intervention and better treatment outcomes. Mindfulness-based and psychosocial interventions are discussed as promising approaches to increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and readiness for change among people with substance use disorders. The article emphasizes the importance of integrated medical and psychosocial support and highlights the role of social work in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting access to appropriate services. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of help-seeking behavior for substance use disorders and offer implications for prevention, treatment, and social policy development
A DESCONEXÃO NORMATIVA ENTRE LISTAS OFICIAIS DE ESPÉCIES AMEAÇADAS E DADOS EMPÍRICOS DE TRÁFICO DE FAUNA NO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO: UMA ANÁLISE À LUZ DA PROTEÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL DA BIODIVERSIDADE
No full textApós a perda de habitat, o tráfico de animais silvestres constitui uma das principais pressões antrópicas sobre a biodiversidade global e uma das atividades ilícitas mais lucrativas em escala transnacional. Paralelamente, as listas oficiais de espécies ameaçadas — internacionais, nacionais e estaduais — desempenham função normativa estruturante, orientando políticas públicas e regimes sancionatórios diferenciados. Este estudo analisa a correspondência entre os dados de apreensão de fauna silvestre no Estado de São Paulo (2021–2023) e as espécies classificadas como ameaçadas na Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Apêndice I), na Portaria MMA nº 148/2022 e no Decreto Estadual nº 63.853/2018. Foram examinados 68.594 animais, distribuídos em 566 espécies. Apenas 78 espécies constam em alguma das listas analisadas, representando pouco mais de 3% dos indivíduos apreendidos. Os resultados indicam desconexão entre classificação normativa e dinâmica empírica do tráfico, sugerindo possível hipótese de proteção insuficiente à luz do art. 225 da Constituição Federal. Propõe-se modelo de governança adaptativa que incorpore dados de fiscalização como critério complementar na avaliação do risco de extinção
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS ON REAL SECTOR PRODUCTIVITY IN NIGERIA
No full textThis study examines the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on real sector productivity in Nigeria, focusing on the agricultural and industrial sectors over the period 1991–2024. The study is motivated by persistent exchange rate instability and inconclusive empirical evidence on its implications for sectoral productivity. The study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) techniques to capture both dynamic and asymmetric relationships between exchange rate movements and sectoral productivity, following unit root and bounds tests for cointegration. The results reveal stable long-run relationships between exchange rate movements and sectoral productivity. Exchange rate depreciation has a positive and significant long-run effect on agricultural and industrial productivity, with asymmetric effects more pronounced in the industrial sector. Short-run exchange rate effects are largely insignificant, reflecting adjustment costs and delayed investment responses. The study concludes that exchange rate fluctuations influence real sector productivity mainly through long-run and asymmetric channels. It therefore recommends prioritising exchange rate stability and policy consistency, alongside sector-specific measures to strengthen domestic productive capacity and reduce import dependence for sustainable productivity growth in Nigeria
ETHICAL DILEMMAS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS – REVIEW
No full textHome Agriculture, a key pillar of human existence, faces fundamental ethical challenges. The authors of this article thought about these dilemmas and set a research goal - to examine the current state and possible solutions, with the goal of estimating the possible future development of agricultural ethics. Authors, after conducting research and qualitative analysis of expert sources relevant to the topic, reflect on the links between our decisions, agriculture and the state of the environment. The qualitative analysis conducted shows that the anthropocentric strand focuses on human needs and places them at the center of ethical considerations and that this approach can be perceived as outdated from an ethical perspective today. Science, on the other hand, can also provide knowledge to improve agricultural production and provide food for the growing human population. Environmental protection must be seen as a moral obligation for humans
DEMOCRACIA EM DISPUTA: CIDADANIA LGBTQIAPN+ ENTRE INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO, JUDICIALIZAÇÃO E RETROCESSOS NO BRASIL CONTEMPORÂNEO
No full textO artigo analisa a trajetória histórica, política e institucional da população LGBTQIAPN+ no Brasil, articulando debates teóricos sobre diversidade sexual e de gênero com o contexto contemporâneo de tensionamento democrático. Inicialmente, discute-se a conformação histórica do acrônimo LGBTQIAPN+, mobilizando contribuições da teoria queer, da interseccionalidade e dos estudos sobre sexualidade para evidenciar como as categorias identitárias são construções políticas atravessadas por disputas de reconhecimento. Em seguida, examinam-se os avanços e limites das políticas públicas voltadas à população LGBTQIAPN+ no Brasil, com destaque para a judicialização de direitos, a institucionalização de agendas no Executivo federal, os efeitos da descontinuidade administrativa e os impactos do conservadorismo recente sobre a participação social e a segurança dessa população. Argumenta-se que a luta por direitos LGBTQIAPN+ constitui dimensão central da própria defesa do Estado Democrático de Direito, na medida em que ataques a minorias sexuais e de gênero frequentemente antecedem ou acompanham processos de erosão democrática. Conclui-se que a consolidação de políticas de Estado, com previsão orçamentária e mecanismos institucionais permanentes, é condição necessária para transformar conquistas simbólicas e judiciais em cidadania substantiva
THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE AWAJÚN INTERCULTURAL GOVERNANCE MODEL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
No full textThis study aimed to explore scientific studies published between 2021 and 2024 on the Scopus and Scielo platforms on intercultural governance. To carry out this purpose, 12 articles selected from these databases were reviewed. When analyzing the results, a significant lack of theories related to the topics studied was noted, which seems to be related to the high amount of empirical research on which the articles focused. In addition, three key areas of research were identified: foreign language proficiency, the intercultural context, and the interaction with decentralized public policies and governments in power. Finally, it was concluded that the most relevant articles are mainly found in Scopus, and that intercultural governance emerges as a crucial tool to promote inclusive, equitable development that respects different cultures. For this approach to be truly effective, it is essential that indigenous peoples are not only considered beneficiaries of policies, but active and fundamental participants in the creation of a future that values their rights and meets their needs

LEARNING ONLINE AND LEARNING AT HOME: STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE ON DISTANCE AND AT HOME LEARNING
No full textThis qualitative study explored students\u27 perspectives on distance and at-home learning during the COVID-19 pandemic at Isabela State University-Cauayan City Campus in the Philippines. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 students from four colleges chosen through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed four major themes: outlook of participants on online learning, preference for online or distant learning, benefits of online learning, and problems in online learning. Participants expressed both positive and equivocal outlooks on their online learning experiences. While they appreciated the opportunity to continue their studies during lockdowns, some felt ambivalence due to challenges encountered, such as poor internet connectivity, power outages, inadequate personal resources, pressure to complete requirements, and limited access to technological tools. Despite these issues, participants agreed that online learning was the best instructional method available during the pandemic. Benefits cited included the ability to study outside of school, reduced expenses, ease of access to learning resources, and improved discipline, responsibility, and time management. However, participants generally preferred face-to-face instruction, finding it more convenient for certain aspects of their courses. The study highlights the need for systematic training initiatives to improve technological skills, the development of structured educational materials and e-learning platforms, and consistent communication between teachers and students to address the challenges of online learning during the pandemic
BEHIND BARS, BEYOND MOTHERHOOD: LIVED EXPERIENCES OF MOTHERS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY IN DAGUPAN CITY JAIL, PHILIPPINES
No full textThe incarceration of women has been rising globally, with a significant proportion being mothers whose detention disrupts both family structures and child development. In the Philippines, high jail congestion and gender-insensitive correctional systems further complicate the maternal experience of incarceration. This study explored the lived experiences of mothers deprived of liberty (MDLs) in Dagupan City Jail, employing a qualitative Husserlian descriptive phenomenological design. Ten mothers were purposively sampled, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using phenomenological reduction and thematic clustering. Three major themes emerged: (1) Separation Anxiety and Emotional Stress, reflecting grief, longing, and psychological struggles due to limited family contact; (2) Family Settings, which highlighted the reliance on kinship networks for childcare and the strain on marital and familial ties; and (3) Government Development Programs, encompassing livelihood projects, parenting workshops, and faith-based initiatives that foster resilience and skill development. Findings reveal that incarceration produces profound emotional and social challenges but also opens opportunities for personal growth through institutional and familial support. The study underscores the necessity for gender-responsive, family-centered, and rehabilitative interventions that safeguard maternal well-being and strengthen child-caregiver arrangements. Policy reforms should ensure that correctional practices align with human rights standards, thereby reducing intergenerational risks of trauma and criminal involvement. This research contributes to the discourse on justice reform and highlights the importance of humanizing correctional management in the Philippine context
