The present study aimed to evaluate the production and chemical composition of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum syn. Cenchrus purpureus cv. Mott) intercropped with Cajanus cajan (Mandarim and Fava Larga) and Stylosanthes guianensis (Bela) compared to its cultivation in monoculture under irrigated management in the semi-arid region. The experiment was conducted at the Campus of Agricultural Sciences of the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley, Petrolina, Brazil. The experiment consisted of the following treatments: elephant grass intercropped with each legume and two monoculture types, one with nitrogen fertilization (200 kg ha-1 ) and the other without. The legumes helped to improve the quality of the forage canopy, with high levels of crude protein. Nitrogen fertilization increased the mass of forage produced by elephant grass. The cumulative analysis of all the cuts showed that the intercropping between elephant grass and the Bela cultivar achieved the highest yield, with 13.49 Mg ha-1, mainly due to the increase in the population of the Bela, which proved to be superior to the other legumes over the cuts. Based on the results, the intercropping of elephant grass with the Bela cultivar is recommended as the most effective strategy for maximizing forage production in the semi-arid region.

This article delves into populist communication based on the analysis that Vox's -- a radical right political party -- uses the press in its official X (Twitter) account. This is an exploratory work on how this political party uses the press to develop its postulates, based on quantitative content analysis. We analyzed messages that include material identified as proceeding from journalistic media and do not refer exclusively to the actions or members of the party itself. The corpus (n = 100) brought together all entries published between June 11th and July 22, 2022, with these characteristics. Based on Patrick Charaudeau (2021), we studied interpretive frameworks and intertextuality. Results: (a) a high presence of the press identified with a similar ideology; (b) extensive domain of interpretive frameworks that point out conflicts; and (c) tendency to grant the press to reinforce the desired interpretation.

The Colombian Pacific is a territory-region occupied mostly by black communities that have a traditional way of life based on fishing, agriculture and traditional extractivism. However, with the arrival of developmental logics, this way of life begins to undergo transformations that place traditional territorialities in confrontation with other logics external to the community. Therefore, the objective here is (1) to characterize the traditional Afro-Colombian way of life, especially in its symbolic relationship with artisanal fishing, (2) to identify fishing territorialities and (3) to analyze the territorial conflicts present in Bahía Solano. For this, fieldwork was carried out with participant observation, ethnographic reports, photodocumentation and interviews with a semi-structured script, with the aim of providing a contribution from an interdisciplinary perspective, still absent in research in this region. It was observed that with the insertion of communities into "external" and more profitable productive logics, such as tourism, drug trafficking and industrial fishing, new territorialities are superimposed. In these new territorialities, as in the more traditional ones, the sea is a necessary element for the reproduction of the Afro-Colombian way of life, especially through work and food.

Based on the history of immigration of the different ethnicities that contribute to the construction of identity in Campo Grande, MS, we find the contributions of the Paraguayan colony. With the aim of pointing out identity traits of Paraguayan culture on the Campo Grande culture and its relations with the Bioceanic Route, this research, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, also uses the Collective Subject Discourse (DSC) as an analysis technique applied to responses with the saturation method used to close the samples. The text addresses the contributions of Paraguayan culture to Campo Grande culture since the beginnings of the Morena city, and how the strategic position of Campo Grande in the implementation of the Bioceanicpio Route will more clearly bring the two cultures closer together, pointing out the possible socio-cultural impacts of this potential. Since the research demonstrated that Campo Grande culture converges at various times with Paraguayan culture, whether in music, dance, or gastronomy. In this way, Paraguayan culture can be considered as an identity trait in Campo Grande culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the effects of open innovation (OI), organizational strategy and the existence of a corporate risk management (CRM) strategy on competitive advantage (CA) in cost, service and product in the Portuguese hotel sector. This paper uses a survey over 251 CEOs of Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) hotels and applies two complementary statistical methods: partial least squares regression and quantile regression. It can be stated that both OI and the degree of dynamism and flexibility of the organizational structure and CRM are relevant to explain the different types of competitive advantage. However, the results show that the importance of the incidence of the different explanatory factors considered is different depending on the type of competitive advantage that we are analysing and the relevance of disaggregating those associated with AI (inbound and outbound) and organizational strategy (dynamic of the environment, internal organizational flexibility and innovative strategic position). Thus, the CRM variable is the fundamental variable in the explanation of the competitive advantage in cost, while the incidence of inbound OI is especially relevant in the CA in service and product. Within organizational strategy, the factor that most clearly affects competitive advantage is the strategic position with respect to innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this manuscript is to demonstrate that the mystic experience configures a particular subjective solution that opens up the possibility to the singularization and disalienation of the subject in the context of the relationship with the institutional Other; therefore, it incise ethical-politically on the context of the social bond. Therefore, a theoretical research with a psychoanalytical framework will be carried out. Thus, the theme of uniqueness will be discussed in the light of the notion of female jouissance in interface with mystique (Lacan, 1972-1973/1985). In addition, this appanage will be interspersed with the Foucaultian concept of self-care (Foucault, 1981-82/2006), and from this, will be scrutinized possible convergences between the mystical experience and the ethical-political and aesthetic exercise related to the self-care. Based on this intersection, we will seek to support the premise that the mystic, more precisely, the jouissance of God, implied in the jouissance of the woman which is governed by the logic of the not-all, allows the subject to singularize himself, therefore, to adopt a critical posture that converges to the liberation of the Other's discourse and to the transformation of oneself.

Objective: To identify and characterize animation videos on health education related to elimination ostomies. Method: Study of quantitative nature of the descriptive type with a stage of technological prospection in the literature and on the Youtube video sharing platform. Results: The study did not identify articles in the literature; however, 19 videos were identified on YouTube, of which the most discussed topics were: the making and definition of colostomy, definition and manufacture of ileostomy, preparation of urostomy and causes of manufacture of elimination ostomies. Most of the animations found on the platform were in English and none in Portuguese, revealing the scarcity of this material for people with elimination stomas in Brazil. Conclusion and implications for practice: The study was limited to the identification and characterization of the available videos, partially reaching the objective, thus, emphasizing the need for other studies that address this issue so that it can support the construction and validation of an animation video on elimination stomas based on scientific evidence, so that it is used as a tool for health education.

This is an original article that addresses the healthcare workforce (HW) in Brazil, as well as comorbidities and mental health changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and collected data through an online questionnaires from a total of 36,612 participants, health professionals (HP, with higher education level), and invisible healthcare workers (IHW, with a technical mid-level education). The overall prevalence of comorbidities in Brazil was 26.1% and 23.9%; the highest was arterial hypertension (27.4% and 31.9%), followed by obesity (18.4% and 15.1%), chronic respiratory diseases (15.7% and 12.9%), diabetes mellitus (10.3% and 10.4%), and depression/anxiety (9.1% and 11.7%), in the HW and IHW, respectively. The region with the highest frequency was the southeast, where the largest contingent of workers is located. The HW, affected with a high burden of non-communicable chronic diseases and exposed to SARS-CoV-2, proved to be vulnerable to illness and death. Mental symptoms and intense psychological suffering have been reported. These results allow us to estimate the impacts upon physical and mental health, as well as upon living and working conditions of the HW. The health and life of workers, leading role in facing health challenges of the pandemic, are a high priority in public policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
