Stages for the More Sustainable Farm
No full textCurrently, agricultural farm units are faced with a double and most times contradictory challenge, in order to be successful: on the one hand the invested capital has to be profitable and the economic performance has to be maximised. On the other hand, given the socio-environmental situation, it is necessary to preserve and to protect the environment and natural resources. Given the potential conflict of the two aims, since the satisfaction of one implies the underperformance of the other (and vice versa), the question then is: which is the solution to choose? We intend, in this work, to formulate a farm plan with the purpose of reconciling the criteria of environmental sustainability with that of economic competitiveness. For this achievement we proceed to the comparative study of sustainability of different groups of farms identified in the study area (first evaluation cycle) through MESMIS (“Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Mediante Indicadores de Sustentabilidad” - Framework for Evaluation of Natural-Resource Systems Handling through Sustainability Indicators) methodology, that allowed to select the more sustainable group of farms. Based on the found potentialities and weakness on these production systems, we stepped to the planning of a production unit of bovine meat, which obeys simultaneously to economic and environmental objectives, using Multicriteria Decision. We finished the work with the sustainability evaluation between groups of farms identified previously and the planned farms (second evaluation cycle), based, again, in the MESMIS methodology, to confirm (or not) the greatest sustainability of the last ones. Analyses of the results allow us to confirm the greatest relative sustainability of the planned farm, for the diverse traced scenarios.Decision taking, planning, sustainability, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management,

Reescrita de si pelo outro: identidade portuguesa e paródia em Deus-dará, de Alexandra Lucas Coelho / Rewriting oneself through the other: Portuguese identity and parody in Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho
No full textResumo: O artigo aponta o modo como o romance Deus-dará de Alexandra Lucas Coelho, escritora portuguesa contemporânea, pode ser compreendido como um exercício de renegociação da identidade portuguesa em relação a questões referentes à colonização no Brasil. Mais do que isso, problematiza-se como, por meio da estratégia da paródia no texto ficcional, a autora consegue expressar uma necessidade e possibilidade de se redefinir pelo outro em um movimento contrário ao do discurso colonial – o que também ocorre em suas entrevistas e em suas narrativas de viagens, tais como em Vai, Brasil e Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso. Palavras-chave: identidade portuguesa; paródia; pós-modernismo; escrita portuguesa contemporânea; Alexandra Lucas Coelho. Abstract: The article observes how the novel Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho, a Portuguese contemporary writer consists in an exercise of renegotiation for the Portuguese identity in relation to issues that refer to the colonization process in Brazil. Moreover, this text seeks to show how parody as a fictional literary strategy helps the author in expressing a necessity and a possibility of redefining oneself through the other, in a direction that goes in the opposite way of the colonial speech. This necessity and this possibility also appear in the author’s interviews and travel books, such as Vai, Brasil and Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso, which will also be mentioned in this article.Keywords: Portuguese identity; parody; post-modernism; Portuguese contemporary writing; Alexandra Lucas Coelho
Aufbau, Struktur und Ergebnisse eines freiwilligen Mpox-Impfmonitorings in Deutschland
No full textNachdem im Mai 2022 erstmals Mpox-Fälle in Deutschland nachgewiesen wurden, empfiehlt die Ständige Impfkommission (STIKO) die Impfung gegen Mpox als Postexpositionsprophylaxe nach Mpox-Exposition sowie als Indikationsimpfung für Personen mit einem erhöhten Expositions- und Infektionsrisiko (z. B. während eines Mpox-Ausbruchs). Im Rahmen eines freiwilligen Impfmonitorings wird die Inanspruchnahme von Mpox-Impfungen in Deutschland systematisch erfasst und an das Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) übermittelt. Die Impfung gegen Mpox stellt eines der zentralen Präventionsinstrumente dar, um ein Wiederaufflammen von Mpox in Deutschland zu verhindern. Aufgrund der seit dem Spätsommer 2022 stark zurückgegangenen Anzahl von Erst- und Zweitimpfungen erscheint es wichtig, effektive Kampagnen zur Steigerung der Impfmotivation in Bevölkerungsgruppen mit erhöhtem Risiko für eine Mpox-Infektion durchzuführen.Peer Reviewe

Athaliah and Alexandra: Gender and Queenship in Josephus [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textAthaliah and Alexandra were the only two women to rule as queens of Judah/Judaea in their own right and both women’s reigns are reported in Josephus’ writings. Despite their uniqueness, however, Athaliah and Alexandra are rarely compared in scholarship; the former is usually dismissed, and focus centred on the latter. This article contends that there are historical similarities between the two, but literary differences. Josephus could have referred to Athaliah or used elements of her portrayal in his presentation of Alexandra but does not, creating the impression that Alexandra was completely different to her predecessor. It may be instructive, therefore, to consider why Josephus literarily isolates the queens and what this means for his interpretation of Alexandra
HIV-Jahresbericht 2024
No full textGemäß § 7 Abs. 3 Infektionsschutzgesetz ist der direkte oder indirekte Nachweis einer Infektion mit dem Humanen Immundefizienz-Virus (HIV) nichtnamentlich direkt an das Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) zu melden. Für das Jahr 2024 wurden dem RKI bis zum 1.4.2025 insgesamt 3.259 gesicherte HIV-Neudiagnosen gemeldet. Dies stellt keine wesentliche Änderung zum Vorjahr dar, in dem 3.332 gesicherte HIV-Neudiagnosen gemeldet wurden. Für 2024 ist zu berücksichtigen, dass auch in diesem Meldejahr noch in erheblichem Umfang HIV-Meldungen von aus der Ukraine nach Deutschland geflüchteten Personen erfolgten und anzunehmen ist, dass bei den meisten dieser Fälle die HIV-Diagnose und der Behandlungsbeginn bereits in der Ukraine erfolgten. Folglich handelt es sich hier meistens nicht um tatsächliche Neudiagnosen, sondern um den erstmaligen Nachweis der HIV-Infektion in Deutschland.According to § 7 (3) of the Infection Protection Act, direct or indirect detection of an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) must be reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). For 2024, a total of 3,259 confirmed new HIV diagnoses were reported to the RKI by April 1, 2025. This represents no significant change compared to the previous year, in which 3,332 new HIV diagnoses were reported. However, a significant number of these HIV diagnoses in Germany in 2024 are still reported for individuals who have fled from the Ukraine and it can be assumed that in most of these cases, their HIV diagnosis and treatment initiation already occurred in the Ukraine. Consequently, these cases most likely represent first detections of an HIV infection in Germany rather than actual new diagnoses.Peer Reviewe
