Life satisfaction around the world: Measurement invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups
No full textThe Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset–with data collected between 2020 and 2022 –to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that configural and metric invariance was upheld across all nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups, suggesting that the unidimensional SWLS model has universal applicability. Full scalar invariance was achieved across gender identities and age groups. Based on alignment optimisation methods, partial scalar invariance was achieved across all but three national groups and across all languages represented in the BINS. There were large differences in latent SWLS means across nations and languages, but negligible-to-small differences across gender identities and age groups. Across nations, greater life satisfaction was significantly associated with greater financial security and being in a committed relationship or married. The results of this study suggest that the SWLS largely assesses a common unidimensional construct of life satisfaction irrespective of respondent characteristics (i.e., national group, gender identities, and age group) or survey presentation (i.e., survey language). This has important implications for the assessment of life satisfaction across nations and provides information that will be useful for practitioners aiming to promote subjective well-being

Harvest time, photoperiod and white light irradiance on yield of red cabbage microgreens in plant factory
No full textPlant factory is a production system characterized by high control and efficiency of the production factors, in which the cultivation of microgreens has increased. Photoperiod and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) are two of the main factors to be investigated in order to obtain maximum yield. In this context, an experiment was conducted in indoor environment to evaluate the influence of photoperiod (12, 16 and 20 h d-1 ) and PPFD (150, 250, 350 and 450 μmol m-2 s-1 ) with two harvest times (4 and 6 d of light) on the growth and yield of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) microgreens. Early harvest, photoperiod and PPFD affected hypocotyl length (HL), cotyledon area (CA) and yield individually and in interaction. Two-day earlier harvest resulted in reductions of 10.0%, 32.0% and 16.5% in HL, CA and yield, respectively. In general, higher PPFD and photoperiod caused decrease in HL and increase in CA and yield. With the combination of these factors, 315 μmol m-2 s-1 with 20 h light promoted the highest yield of red cabbage microgreens. In one year of production, early harvest promotes a greater number of production cycles and higher yield of red cabbage microgreens (616 kg m-2 ), which was 27% higher than that obtained with harvest carried out 2 d later, when the first leaf appeared.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) Departamento Produção VegetalUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) Departamento de BiologiaLEDs-up Soluções para cultivoUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) Departamento Produção VegetalUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) Departamento de Biologi
Reflections on the work of social workers in the face of the violated rights of children and adolescents victims of sexual violence.
No full textRefletir sobre os direitos violados de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de abuso sexual é, antes de tudo, um ato de coragem e compromisso ético com a vida. Este estudo se debruça sobre a atuação das (os) assistentes sociais diante dessa dolorosa realidade no município de São Luís de Montes Belos/GO, especialmente no âmbito da Proteção Social Especial, por meio do trabalho desenvolvido no Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS). A investigação buscou compreender os desafios, limites e potencialidades que permeiam o fazer profissional diante de situações de violência sexual infantojuvenil, considerando a rede de serviços socioassistenciais e o sistema de garantias de direitos. A pesquisa foi conduzida a partir da abordagem qualitativa, alicerçada no método do materialismo histórico-dialético, o qual permite interpretar a realidade social em sua totalidade e historicidade, revelando contradições e expressões da questão social. Foram utilizadas três estratégias metodológicas: pesquisa bibliográfica, para aprofundamento teórico; pesquisa documental, com base nas normativas e legislações da Política Nacional de Assistência Social; e pesquisa de campo, realizada junto ao CREAS do município supracitado. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com três profissionais que compõem a equipe de referência da Proteção Social Especial. Os resultados evidenciam a complexidade do fenômeno da violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes e os múltiplos desafios enfrentados pelos profissionais no cotidiano do trabalho. Dentre os principais achados, destacam-se a fragilidade das políticas públicas, a sobrecarga de trabalho, a escassez de recursos humanos e materiais, e a necessidade de formação continuada e suporte institucional. Ainda assim, sobressaem a potência do compromisso ético e político das (os) assistentes sociais, sua escuta qualificada e atuação crítica, capazes de fortalecer o protagonismo das vítimas e suas famílias e de articular a rede de proteção de forma mais efetiva. Esta tese, portanto, propõe uma reflexão crítica e sensível sobre a prática profissional frente às violações de direitos, reafirmando a centralidade da proteção integral e o papel fundamental do Serviço Social na construção de uma sociedade mais justa, segura e humana para nossas crianças e adolescentes.Reflecting on the violated rights of children and adolescents who are victims of sexual abuse is, above all, an act of courage and ethical commitment to life. This study focuses on the actions of social workers in the face of this painful reality in the city of São Luís de Montes Belos/GO, especially in the context of Special Social Protection, through the work developed at the Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance (CREAS). The research sought to understand the challenges, limits and potentialities that permeate professional work in situations of sexual violence against children and adolescents, considering the network of social assistance services and the system of guarantees of rights. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, based on the method of historical-dialectical materialism, which allows the interpretation of social reality in its entirety and historicity, revealing contradictions and expressions of the social issue. Three methodological strategies were used: bibliographical research, for theoretical deepening; documentary research, based on the regulations and legislation of the National Social Assistance Policy; and field research, carried out with CREAS of the aforementioned municipality. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with three professionals who make up the Special Social Protection reference team. The results highlight the complexity of the phenomenon of sexual violence against children and adolescents and the multiple challenges faced by professionals in their daily work. The main findings include the fragility of public policies, work overload, scarcity of human and material resources, and the need for ongoing training and institutional support. Even so, the power of the ethical and political commitment of social workers, their qualified listening and critical actions, capable of strengthening the role of victims and their families and of articulating the protection network more effectively, stand out. This thesis, therefore, proposes a critical and sensitive reflection on professional practice in the face of rights violations, reaffirming the centrality of comprehensive protection and the fundamental role of Social Services in building a more just, safe and humane society for our children and adolescents.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)CAPES: 00
Hierarchization of a large chabazite crystal shaped with hydrogen difluoride and its catalytic performance in the MTO reaction
No full textFully microporous SSZ-13 zeolites with CHA structure efficiently convert methanol to olefins (MTO) with high selectivity. Unfortunately, the microporosity that enables high selectivity is the same causing diffusion limitations for reactants and products. Modifying zeolite textures by post-synthetic treatment is an interesting strategy to overcome this issue. Herein, we synthesized a large acidic SSZ-13 zeolite crystal and then created a secondary porosity by treating it with an NH4HF2 solution. The strategy of using large crystals allowed for tracking the chemical and spatial coke evolution and the performance of catalysts in the MTO reaction. The NH4HF2 solution removed Si and Al atoms from the zeolite structure, mostly aluminum, creating mesopores. The formation of mesopores was accompanied by micropore degradation. The hierarchical zeolite performed better in the MTO reaction than the untreated zeolite. The tracking of coke during the reaction time revealed that the mesopores gave the catalyst a significantly higher lifetime despite coke growing into bulkier polyaromatic molecules with up to 4 aromatic rings. The spatial disposition of coke revealed by fluorescence confocal microscopy showed that the mesopores improve the utilization of the catalyst.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)São Paulo State University (UNESP) Institute of ChemistrySão Paulo State University (UNESP) Institute of ChemistryFAPESP: 2014/50938-8FAPESP: 2019/12486-1FAPESP: 2019/27018-3FAPESP: 2023/10544-0CNPq: 465699/2014-
De la formation à la performance professionnelle : les élèves atteints de troubles du spectre autistique en éducation physique scolaire
No full textNas aulas de Educação Física, nos últimos anos, tem-se percebido um aumento considerável de crianças com deficiências, em especial com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar de forma qualitativa o processo de formação e o conhecimento que embasa a prática dos professores quanto ao processo de inclusão de alunos com TEA nas aulas de Educação Física Escolar. Quanto à metodologia, a análise seguiu os princípios de Bardin, participaram da pesquisa professores de Educação Física que atuam na Educação Básica em escolas públicas. Os instrumentos de coleta em primeira instância foi um questionário semiestruturado, visando levantar informações gerais sobre a formação e as práticas pedagógicas. Em seguida, foi realizada uma entrevista, para compreender de maneira mais detalhada suas estratégias, desafios e percepções. As análises foram realizadas sob a ótica da Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano, proposta por Urie Bronfenbrenner, permitindo compreender como os diferentes sistemas (microssistema, mesossistema, exossistema, macrossistema e cronossistema) influenciam o processo de inclusão escolar.Os resultados indicaram que, embora haja uma crescente sensibilização dos docentes em relação à necessidade de incluir alunos com TEA, ainda existem lacunas significativas na formação inicial e continuada, especialmente no que tange ao conhecimento sobre as especificidades do transtorno e as adaptações necessárias no contexto das aulas de Educação Física. Identificou-se que muitos professores recorrem a estratégias intuitivas ou baseadas na tentativa e erro, evidenciando a importância de cursos de formação continuada específicos para o tema. Por fim, a pesquisa reforça a importância de que a inclusão seja compreendida como um processo coletivo e sistêmico, e não como uma responsabilidade isolada do professor de Educação Física. A efetivação de uma escola inclusiva exige o envolvimento de toda a comunidade escolar, apoio das políticas públicas, formação continuada de qualidade e, acima de tudo, uma mudança cultural que valorize a
diversidade como princípio pedagógico fundamental.En las clases de Educación Física, en los últimos años, se ha producido un aumento considerable en el número de niños con discapacidad, especialmente aquellos con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA).

Emerging problems on large dairy farms
No full textO leite bovino é um alimento essencial para mamíferos, especialmente durante a fase de cria, e é amplamente reconhecido por seus benefícios nutricionais, como o alto teor de cálcio, que contribui para a saúde óssea. No Brasil, a cadeia produtiva do leite é de grande relevância econômica e social, sendo o país o terceiro maior produtor mundial, com mais de 34 bilhões de litros anuais e cerca de 4 milhões de empregos gerados. No entanto, a produção leiteira enfrenta desafios significativos, incluindo doenças que afetam a saúde do rebanho e a eficiência produtiva. Este trabalho se concentra em três enfermidades emergentes: úlcera de abomaso, enterotoxemia e jejuno hemorrágico, que impactam a saúde dos bovinos e, consequentemente, a produtividade das propriedades leiteiras. A revisão sistemática foi realizada com base em artigos acadêmicos que abordam as possíveis causas, prevenção e manejo dessas doenças. A úlcera de abomaso, comum em bovinos de alta produção, é associada a fatores como estresse e dieta inadequada. A enterotoxemia, causada por Clostridium perfringens, está relacionada a dietas ricas em grãos e mudanças bruscas na alimentação. Já a síndrome do jejuno hemorrágico, caracterizada por enterite necrótica, é esporádica e de alta mortalidade, sendo influenciada por desequilíbrios dietéticos e infecções bacterianas. A prevenção dessas enfermidades envolve práticas de manejo adequadas, como a manutenção de uma dieta balanceada, controle de estresse e boas condições de alojamento. O trabalho visa fornecer informações que ajudem os produtores a melhorar a saúde do rebanho e a eficiência produtiva, contribuindo para a sustentabilidade da atividade leiteira no Brasil.Bovine milk is an essential food source for mammals, especially during the offspring phase, and is widely recognized for its nutritional benefits, such as its high calcium content, which contributes to bone health. In Brazil, the milk production chain holds significant economic and social relevance, with the country being the third-largest global producer, producing over 34 billion liters annually and generating approximately 4 million jobs. However, milk production faces significant challenges, including diseases that affect the herd's health and production efficiency. This work focuses on three diseases: abomasal ulcers, enterotoxemia, and hemorrhagic jejunum syndrome, which impact the health of cattle and, consequently, the productivity of dairy farms. The systematic review was conducted based on academic articles addressing the causes, prevention, and management of these diseases. Abomasal ulcers, common in high-production cattle, are associated with factors such as stress and inadequate diets. Enterotoxemia, caused by Clostridium perfringens, is related to grain-rich diets and sudden dietary changes. The hemorrhagic jejunum syndrome, characterized by necrotizing enteritis, is sporadic and has a high mortality rate, influenced by dietary imbalances and bacterial infections. Preventing these diseases involves proper management practices, such as maintaining a balanced diet, controlling stress, and good housing conditions. The aim of this work is to provide information that helps producers improve herd health and production efficiency, contributing to the sustainability of dairy farming in Brazil
Probing water-electrified electrode interfaces: Insights from Au and Pd
No full textThe water/electrode interface under an applied bias potential is a challenging out-of-equilibrium phenomenon, which is difficult to accurately model at the atomic scale. In this study, we employ a combined approach of density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green’s function methods to analyze the influence of an external bias on the properties of water adsorbed on Au(111) and Pd(111) metallic electrodes. Our results demonstrate that while both Au and Pd-electrodes induce qualitatively similar structural responses in adsorbed water molecules, the quantitative differences are substantial, driven by the distinct nature of water-metal bonding. Our findings underscore the necessity of quantum-mechanical modeling for accurately describing electrochemical interfaces.Instituto de Física Teórica Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), SPPhysics and Astronomy Department Stony Brook UniversityInstitute for Advanced Computational ScienceMax Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of MatterInstituto de Física Universidade de São Paulo, SPInstituto de Física Teórica Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), S

Crystallization kinetics as a tool to fine-tune the catalytic activity of Na-LTA zeolite precursors in the transesterification of glycerol to glycerol carbonate
No full textGlycerol carbonate is a versatile molecule used as a fuel additive and a chemical building block. It is a prominent route for glycerol valorization, improving the biodiesel production chain. This base-catalyzed reaction can be carried out using sodium-type zeolites if accessibility to the basic sites is ensured. Herein, we report a facile strategy to fine-tune the number and access to basic sites of Na-LTA zeolite precursors via monitoring the crystallization kinetics of the microporous material. It is demonstrated that an optimal glycerol to glycerol carbonate conversion is obtained when using the solid obtained at the beginning of the crystallization (90 min at 100 °C of hydrothermal step). Textural and spectroscopy characterization reveals that semicrystalline material presents many basic aluminate anions in a very open structure, allowing facile access to glycerol and propylene carbonate. Moreover, it is shown that this catalyst is stable in four successive reaction cycles and active in different reactions conditionsCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)São Paulo State University (UNESP) School of Engineering and SciencesLaboratório de Catálise Universidade Federal de São CarlosSão Paulo State University (UNESP) School of Engineering and SciencesCAPES: #001FAPESP: #2018/21136–
Indigenous Lands inhibit mining-induced deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
No full textIndigenous Lands (ILs) have been recognized as valuable tools for Amazon conservation. Originally established to protect indigenous rights and culture, they have unintentionally become essential for environmental conservation. ILs cover approximately 23 % of the Brazilian Legal Amazon and face significant threats, including from mining activities. Proposed legislative changes aim to facilitate mineral exploration within ILs, leading to an increase in mining claims and illegal mining activities. This study assesses the impact of ILs in the Brazilian Legal Amazon on mining-induced deforestation by comparing it to a counterfactual scenario in the absence of ILs. The results indicate that ILs are effective in avoiding mining-induced deforestation, preventing the accumulated deforestation of approximately 25 million hectares between 2004 and 2019. This corresponds to 20 % of all ILs’ territories and 4.7 % of the Brazilian Legal Amazon extension. Although their effectiveness has declined over the years, this underscores the importance of ILs in protecting nature and indigenous communities. The results also suggest that the individual impacts of ILs on mining-induced deforestation vary across the Brazilian Amazon. These individual variations highlight challenges in which decision-makers should strengthen governance, enhance enforcement, and implement targeted policies to safeguard the Amazon rainforest and indigenous rights.Universidade Estadual PaulistaFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)CBioClima - Center for Research on Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change Department of Biodiversity São Paulo State University (UNESP), São PauloKimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center Florida International University (FIU)CBioClima - Center for Research on Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change Department of Biodiversity São Paulo State University (UNESP), São PauloFAPESP: FAPESP 2021/10639-
