ACESSO AO MERCADO DE TRABALHO AOS PORTADORES DE DEFICIÊNCIA VISUAL NA CIDADE DE MAPUTO

Access to work for visually impaired people in the City of MAputo is a topic that reveals significant challenges and gaps that prevent the inclusion of visually impaired people in the job market. The research aims to analyze such challenges, using a qualitative approach, based on interviews with the main actors involved and a bibliographic analysis. The results indicated that, although there are standards that guarantee rights, there is a lack of specific regulations that address the needs of people with visual impairments, such as reasonable adaptations in the work environment and targeted training programs. Furthermore, prejudice and discrimination persist as relevant barriers in the workplace, reflecting an ableist view that still permeates city residents in Maputo. Employers often have limited perceptions of these people's capabilities, which creates resistance to hiring them. The main challenges faced include the lack of awareness about the rights of people with disabilities and the insufficiency of effective public policies to ensure their inclusion. The conclusions indicate that there is a need to strengthen existing policies and implement training programs for both workers with disabilities and employers, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of inclusion. It is also recommended to create awareness campaigns that promote inclusion and respect for the rights of people with visual impairments. These actions are essential to ensure a more inclusive and accessible environment, allowing visually impaired people to contribute to society and the job market in the City of Maputo.

Intellectual analysis of the impact of job applicants' competencies on the level of remuneration offered to them

Introduction. The search for associative rules is one of the machine learning methods that allows you to detect patterns in data. The first attempts to implement it, related to marketing and advertising, were expensive. But with the development of information technology (IT) and the availability of a wide variety of data from the most different sources, the search for associative rules has become popular, including for labor market analysis. Online statistics of labor exchanges allows you to quickly track the demand for skills and knowledge of jobseekers, identify characteristics that affect the proposed salary level. Purpose setting. In this article, the purpose of the study is to identify associative rules between the sets of «proposed salary level» and «competencies» using the example of Product Manager vacancies. Methodology and methods of the study. To implement the search for associative rules was used Apriori algorithm, the assessment of support, reliability and lift indicators was carried out using the Deductor Studio platform. The collection of online data on Product manager vacancies from the HeadHunter website is implemented using the Python programming language. The main research methods are monographic, abstract-logical, bibliographic, intellectual and statistical analyses. The sample size is 282 vacancies. Results. The results of the study are of scientific and practical value for the development of labor market research tools. 15 associative rules have been identified for vacancies with a salary level of up to 50thousand rubles, from 75 thousand rubles and above (offers from this amount (the lower limit) are considered in the ads). For the remaining unexplored range of remuneration, a low quality of associative rules was obtained. Conclusion. The competencies highlighted in the associative rules can be divided into soft, providing communication, and hard, related to skills in the field of IT, economics, in particular finance, and statistical analysis. The patterns obtained show which skills will provide a higher salary. Low values of support for associative rules for vacancies from 50 to 75 thousand rubles are associated, in our opinion, with regional differences in wages. Intelligent job analysis allows not only jobseekers and employers to better navigate the labor market, but also educational organizations to respond to needs by adjusting curricula.

Druggable Molecular Networks in BRCA1/BRCA2-Mutated Breast Cancer

Mutations in the tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with the triple-negative breast cancer phenotype, particularly aggressive and hard-to-treat tumors lacking estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. This research aimed to understand the metabolic and genetic links behind BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and investigate their relationship with effective therapies. Using the Cytoscape software, two networks were generated through a bibliographic analysis of articles retrieved from the PubMed-NCBI database. We identified 98 genes deregulated by BRCA mutations, and 24 were modulated by therapies. In particular, BIRC5, SIRT1, MYC, EZH2, and CSN2 are influenced by BRCA1, while BCL2, BAX, and BRIP1 are influenced by BRCA2 mutation. Moreover, the study evaluated the efficacy of several promising therapies, targeting only BRCA1/BRCA2-mutated cells. In this context, CDDO-Imidazolide was shown to increase ROS levels and induce DNA damage. Similarly, resveratrol decreased the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene BIRC5 while it increased SIRT1 both in vitro and in vivo. Other specific drugs were found to induce apoptosis selectively in BRCA-mutated cells or block cell growth when the mutation occurs, i.e., 3-deazaneplanocin A, genistein or daidzein, and PARP inhibitors. Finally, over-representation analysis on the genes highlights ferroptosis and proteoglycan pathways as potential drug targets for more effective treatments.

Global systematic mapping of Vibrio species pathogenicity: A PRISMA-guided cluster-based analysis.

A systematic global map on toxigenesis and genomic virulence of Vibrio spp. was analyzed for research progress to identify the emerging research patterns for establishing a database for designing future interventions. The databases (Web of Science and Scopus) were analyzed with Voxviewer software to map the global scale of Vibrio spp. or virulence toxin/genes publications and standardized using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) strategies. The results identified 1162 (Web of Science n = 620, Scopus n = 542), while 314 studies qualified for inclusion and were significantly analyzed on virulence toxin/genes. By co-citation analysis, 4-thematic clusters were developed from 6420 citations and a total reference of 9062. Cluster #1 (pathogenesis & virulence factors) and cluster #4 (host response factors) generated the utmost publications and citations (n = 40, 643) and the least (n = 7, 85) interest by the researcher. Whereas 8-thematic clusters were developed by bibliographic coupling technique analysis, cluster#1 and cluster#8 generated the utmost (n = 78, 1684) and least (n = 7, 81) publications and citations interest by the researcher. Our findings suggest that Vibrio toxigenesis and virulence factors are a complex field requiring an interdisciplinary approach consisting of interconnected perspectives that have important consequences for academics and policymakers.

Marine Zoning: A Two-Decade Bibliographic Analysis—A Systematic Review

Marine zoning is a widely used spatial tool for managing ocean spaces, minimizing conflicts between uses, and maintaining ecosystem services. This review examines and profiles the use of marine zoning and its potential to support climate resilience and ecosystem services through a systematic PRISMA analysis of 121 articles. The findings highlight the importance of balancing sustainable resource use and human well-being with nature protection through well-tailored zoning objectives. The review underscores the need to expand research on underrepresented marine habitats such as seagrass and algae, which play a critical role in climate change mitigation. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of broadening the scope to consider human activities beyond fisheries, which are often the primary focus. Stakeholder engagement and public awareness are identified as crucial for effective marine zoning planning. A significant gap is noted in the integration of ecosystem services and natural capital into marine zoning research. Furthermore, despite marine zoning’s potential to address climate change challenges, the reviewed articles reveal limited attention to this topic, indicating an urgent need for further research. This review advocates for the incorporation of ecosystem service valuation and climate change considerations into marine zoning to ensure sustainable management that balances ecological preservation with human well-being.

A stratigrapher’s reflecions on climate change and energy transition

Abstract This article consists of two well-differentiated parts. The first, based on a bibliographic analysis, tries to position this current episode of global warming within the framework of the geological history of climate change. The conclusion is clear and in line with the scientific consensus. Greenhouse gas emissions linked to human actions are the main cause of global warming. Given this situation, we can speculate about the future climate evolution of the “Anthropocene”. Unfortunately, such projections in the scientific literature paint a bleak picture. Paradoxically, future predictions take us back millions of years in geological history, placing humanity in unknown territory. Accordingly, we must ask ourselves what we can do to adjust the global thermostat. A first optimistic reflection is that the very fact that humans are the cause of the problem opens a window of hope. If global warming were due to natural causes linked to astronomical phenomena, to the internal dynamics of the planet, or to its evolution, we could do little or nothing to remedy our current climate situation. However, if we are the main cause of the crisis, we have the capacity to resolve it. This consideration, in turn, leads us to the second part of this article which comprises a series of personal reflections on the nature of the so-called energy transition and its main lines of action.

Navigating the Sustainability–Luxury Paradox: Bibliometric Insights and Research Directions

ABSTRACTSustainable luxury integrates environmentally conscious practices with high standards in luxury offerings, propelling the growth of this market. But how navigable is this paradoxical alliance between luxury and sustainability? Accordingly, research in this domain has also taken a fillip. The present study provides a comprehensive understanding of the field's current state and offers future directions through a bibliometric analysis. We employ bibliographic coupling, citation analysis, keyword analysis, and cluster analysis using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer to map the intellectual structure of sustainable luxury by analysing 301 articles (1986–2004). We present insights into sustainable luxury literature, including authors, highly cited papers, popular journals, regional publication trends, and keyword analysis. The cluster analysis reveals five key research clusters: sustainability in luxury and fashion, sustainable practices in luxury hospitality, the sharing economy, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical considerations in the luxury sector, and luxury sustainability strategies and consumer roles in conspicuous luxury consumption. It highlights that consumer perceptions of durability, CSR, and cultural identities shape sustainable luxury consumption. It emphasises the need to reconsider traditional economic dynamics due to the rise of second‐hand luxury and the sharing economy. Based on our synthesis, we propose research questions for future exploration by employing the Theory, Context, Characteristics, and Methods framework and incorporating inputs from expert practitioners in the sustainable luxury domain.
