The referring work presents a narrative bibliographic review, on the subject “Sustainable Urban Mobility Index”, based on research carried out at Capes, Scielo, Google Scholar and Digital Bank of Theses and Dissertations within the time frame from 2018 to 2022, where we will point out the main authors used as references and their contributions. During the research, we noticed that there is little academic production in the area to contribute, with the majority being prepared based on the analysis methodology proposed by Costa. Next, we will talk about the importance of urban mobility indices and their relationship with Brazilian municipalities. Later we will describe the main contributions of the sustainable urban mobility indices in the cities of Sinop, Lençóis Paulista, Aracaju, São Mateus and Campinas, in parallel we will demonstrate the sustainable urban mobility indices in the cities of São Mateus, Lençóis Paulista and Sinop.

Import of building stone to the northern Black Sea region in the Middle of the 1st mil. BC according to micropaleontological analysis

The paper presents the results of micropaleontological studies of a series of stones found during the study of the pier of the ancient Greek city of Phanagoria. The samples contain Upper Turonian–Coniacian, Campanian, and Maastrichtian foraminifers characteristic of the Central Tethys zones. This makes it possible to exclude the Crimea and the North Caucasus from the possible regions of origin of the samples. It has been established that Upper Cretaceous carbonate strata similar in genesis and chronology are located on the site of the southern coast of the Black Sea near the ancient cities of Heraclea and Sinop.

Diversity of fungi obtained from bats captured in urban forest fragments in Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Bats are important for the homeostasis of ecosystems and serve as hosts of various microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi with pathogenic potential. This study aimed to isolate fungi from biological samples obtained from bats captured in the city of Sinop (state of Mato Grosso, Brazil), where large areas of deforestation exist due to urbanization and agriculture. On the basis of the flow of people and domestic animals, 48 bats were captured in eleven urban forest fragments. The samples were processed and submitted to microbiological cultures, to isolate and to identify the fungal genera. Thirty-four (70.83%) of the captured bats were positive for fungi; 18 (37.5%) and 16 (33.33%) of these bats were female and male, respectively. Penicillium sp., Scopulariopsis sp., Fusarium sp., Aspergillus sp., Alternaria sp., Cryptococcus sp., Trichosporon sp., and Candida sp., which may cause opportunistic infections, were isolated. The bat species with the highest number of fungal isolates was Molossus molossus: 21 isolates (43.8%). According to our results, bats captured in urban forest fragments in Sinop harbor pathogenic fungi, increasing the risk of opportunistic fungal infections in humans and domestic animals.

Enfoque temático para la concientización de la importancia de las abejas sin aguijón en los Primeros Años de la Escuela Primaria

The thematic approach (TA) of stingless bees (SB) was investigated in this study for environmental awareness in the initial grades of elementary school. The construction of TA insertion was discussed in a 40-hour continuing education course offered to teachers from five Municipal Schools of Basic Education in Sinop city, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. An itinerant meliponary was set up in each School for contributing to TA insertion, and SB observation actions were organized. Subsequently, the teachers participating in these actions were interviewed. Twenty-three teachers participated in the training course, and of these, twelve developed activities involving TA. We observed that the stakeholders faced different types of current academic education, such as curriculum rigidity, limited financial support, and the training course outside teaching hours. We verified that there was TA insertion in the political pedagogical project of the schools, and there were signs of sensitization of the ecological and economic importance of the SBs.

Plasma and erythrocyte magnesium levels: from validation of the method to analysis in volunteers diagnosed to migraine

Deficiency of serum magnesium is associated with the incidence of migraine attacks. The present study aimed to evaluate plasma and erythrocyte magnesium levels in a group of patients diagnosed with migraine. Human donors were selected from basic health units (migraine, n = 25) and from a collection and transfusion unit (control, n = 25), both located in the city of Sinop, Brazil. Plasma and erythrocyte magnesium were assessed using flame atomic absorption. Plasma magnesium concentration was significantly lower in the migraine group (0.172 ± 0.018) compared to the control group (0.197 ± 0.020 mg/L), and erythrocyte magnesium concentration was also lower in the migraine group (0.393 ± 0.053 mg/L) compared to the control group (0.432 ± 0.056 mg/L). The method for analysis of magnesium in human plasma and erythrocytes by flame atomic absorption was shown to be in accordance with validation guidelines. This study shows that plasma and erythrocyte magnesium levels were significantly lower in volunteers diagnosed with migraine compared to healthy volunteers. Furthermore, erythrocyte magnesium proved to be a better marker than plasma magnesium for patients with migraine.

Bioclimatic zoning for dairy cows in Brazil by statistical modeling.

Climate conditions affect animal welfare directly, influencing milk production. The Midwest region is the largest cattle-producing region in Brazil. The objective of this study was to elaborate on bioclimatic zoning for dairy cattle in the Midwest region of Brazil. Air temperature (Ta, °C) and relative humidity (%, RH) data from a 30-year historical series (1989-2019) collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (NASA/POWER) platform were used. The Temperature and Humidity Index (THI) was determined for the hottest and coldest months. Milk production losses due to climate factors in the Midwest of Brazil for two daily production levels, 10kg Milk (PL10) and 25 kg Milk (PL25), were estimated. The Midwest presented three THI classifications throughout the year: 'normal', 'alert', and 'critical alert'. The entire Midwest region was classified as 'normal' (THI < 70) between autumn and winter. The decrease in milk production (DMP) during the autumn and winter presented no loss for both production levels (PL10 and PL25). On the other hand, a 1 to 2kg reduction in milk production was observed for cows with a PL25 production level between spring and summer in the southern Midwest region, while cows with a PL10 production level showed no reduction in milk production. Only the cities of Sinop and Cuiabá did not present a 'critical alert' during spring/summer for the risk of heat stress. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Analysis of the Economic Viability of the Installation of a Photovoltaic System at Jorge de Abreu Regional Hospital in Sinop-MT

Brazilian consumers have the possibility to produce their own energy using renewable sources or qualified cogeneration and even provide the surplus for the distribution network of their locality, as determined by the publication of Normative Resolution 482/2012 by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). In view of this, the use of photovoltaic systems for electricity generation has grown surprisingly, reaching the mark of 8 gigawatts of installed power on Brazilian soil in the year 2021 [1]. In Brazil, public agencies represent 0.1% with 4.7MW installed [1], and in the state of Mato Grosso 0.38% [14]. Thus, aiming at the rise of electricity generation in public buildings, due to the possibility of reducing costs with the electric bill, the present work deals with the dimensioning, budget quotation and economic feasibility analysis regarding the installation of a grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system to meet the energy demands of the Jorge de Abreu Regional Hospital in the city of Sinop, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. Whose, after carrying out the necessary research based on the techniques present in the economic sciences, as Minimum Attractiveness Rate (MRA), Net Present Value (VLP), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and calculation of Payback. The present work considered a grid-connected solar energy generation system of 585 kW to supply the hospital's average monthly consumption of 93.829 kWh/month. The investment analysis showed that the project for the implementation of the photovoltaic system will have its NPV viable from the 4th year of installation and the Payback (return on investment), observing the monetary corrections, of approximately 4,29 years, thus configuring the system as economic financially.

Mycotic zoonoses risk from clipping instruments in Pet Shops in Sinop – MT

Pets have conquered the daily lives of families worldwide and because they have a close relationship with humans, they can transmit mycotic zoonoses such as dermatophytosis, malassezioses and candidosis. Studies show that fungi with pathogenic potential have already been granted in clipping instruments and bath articles in veterinary clinics and in Pet Shops. In the absence of data in the city of Sinop - MT, this study aimed to isolate fungi with pathogenic potential in clipping instruments used in the routine of Pet Shops and to identify etiological agents capable of causing mycotic zoonoses. Samples were carried out in 18 clipping instruments, without cleaning, from 10 Pet Shops (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J) in the city of Sinop - MT with swabs and sterile carpets square and then seeded in Sabouraud agar with 0.05% chloramphenicol and mycobiotic agar, incubated at room temperature (25°C) for 30 - 45 days. The dermatophytes and non-dermatophyte filamentous fungi were identified using the microculture technique and urease test and as yeasts using a urease test, zymogram, auxanogram, germ tube and corn meal agar with polysorbate 80. Of the samples from 18 clipping instruments, 15 were positive for at least one fungal genus. The yeast that showed a high prevalence of isolation in clipping instruments from the studied Pet Shops (B, C, D, E, H and J) was Malassezia pachydermatis (86.7%), followed by the genus Candida spp. (C and D; 26.7%), filamentous fungi of the genus Aspergillus spp. (A; 13.3%), Microsporum canis (B; 13.3%) and Trichosporon spp. (J, 6.7%). Our results demonstrate that Pet Shops treat a large number of animals daily in a single environment, which may amplify the risk of spreading zoonoses, as an asymptomatic or sick carrier animal can potentially transmit the microorganism to other animals inside the store and thus to a large number of new pet owners. There is a need to reinforce the commercial requirements specialized in bathing and grooming in the city of Sinop - MT on the good practices of cleaning and disinfection of the elements used and the environment, eliminating or eliminating the risk of contracting mycotic zoonoses.

The effect of the cyberloafing behaviors of tourism business employees on business motivations and organizational identification

With the development of communication technologies, cyberloafing, which means the use of tools such as telephone, tablet, or Internet for business or individual purposes, has become a subject of debate. From this point of view, the cyberloafing behavior of employees in tourism enterprises was examined. It was aimed to investigate the effects of cyberloafing on business motivations and organizational identification in tourism businesses. For this purpose, field research was conducted on hotel management employees in the cities of Sinop and Samsun in Turkey. The data collected through questionnaires were analyzed by factor analysis and Partial Least Squares Structural Modeling (PLS). Findings indicate that cyberloafing has partially and relatively low impact on job motivation and organizational identification. The results of the study contribute to the literature of organizational behavior in the context of cyberloafing, and offer suggestions for hotel managers.

Two‐step onboard hydrogen generation from Black Sea H 2 S reserves

This paper investigates the exergy and energy rationality of a near-future, two-step hydrogen production system in the Black Sea on a custom-built hydrogen ship with 100% onboard wind, wave, and solar energy system. In the first step of this concept, hydrogen will be produced from the low-salinity seawater by electrolysis utilizing the onboard renewable energy. Part of the hydrogen produced will be used in the second step, which is the major production step, claiming the H2S gas, which is exceptionally rich in the seawater. The hydrogen and sulfur products will be shipped by hydrogen-powered shuttle ships to the nearby city of Sinop to blend hydrogen with the natural gas (NG) to form a hydrogen city. Thus this project presents a novel coupling of the land-side and the sea-side operations with renewable energy and hydrogen in an exergy-based minimum CO2 emissions responsibilities. This on-board H2S exploration concept for hydrogen and sulfur production is compared with the current NG explorations in the Black Sea and the use of NG on the landside. A detailed comparison of the total carbon footprint shows that NG explorations in the Black Sea will be responsible for direct and indirect-nearly avoidable (due to exergy destructions) CO2 emissions, while the ever-increasing H2S threat faced by all Black Sea countries will remain at an increasing rate. A new exergy-based optimum H2S claim depth calculation and control algorithm for onboard operations have also been developed and designed, which shows that economy-based optimization—if ever exists—will be responsible for nearly avoidable CO2 emissions, while the on-board hydrogen production and utilization on the land side have a minimal environmental footprint. None of the earlier studies available in the literature concerning the exact harmful effects of hydrocarbons address exergy rationality. Renewable energy systems like wind turbines and solar energy systems, along with other renewable and waste energy systems like geothermal and wave energy are mostly treated individually, which are not free from large exergy destructions. Therefore, future energy plans with environmental concerns must be carried out from the source to the very last point of demand sectors. This is the specific attribute of this research. Novelty Statement None of the studies about the exact harmful effects of hydrocarbons involve exergy rationality and the consequences of this ignorance on the environment and overall energy budget and economy. Renewable energy systems like wind turbines and solar energy systems, along with other renewable and waste energy systems like geothermal and wave energy are mostly treated individually, which are not free from exergy destructions. For example, a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant generates power but releases heat back without claiming it. This unclaimed heat represents about 50% of the unit exergy of the available solar energy and leads to exergy destruction that is responsible for nearly avoidable CO2 emissions because destroyed thermal exergy has to be offset by spending additional fuel in another system, which most likely is using fossil fuels in a boiler. The term nearly precedes the word avoidable, because exergy destructions may not be completely avoided. Even solar and wind energy systems have exergy destruction components during their operation. Yet, a solar PV and heat system would be a much better choice from the exergy rationality point of view. Although the ongoing increase in the renewable shares in the energy stock, it is essential to follow where the power is used in the built environment. For example, according to Global Wind Energy Council, within the next 10 years 234 GW, within the next 30 years 1400 GW offshore wind power capacity is expected to be installed. However, these installations will never know where this electricity and how this electricity is used in an energy/exergy balance and rationality when coupled to the landside through national and international grids. Therefore, future energy plans with environmental concerns must be carried out from the source to the very last point of demand sectors. Whether off-shore or land-based, wind turbines just generate electric power without asking where the electricity goes and how rational it is used in the built environment. There is no control over the best way of utilizing this wind energy. Instead, hydrogen production with renewables and utilization in next-generation fuel cells produces power and heat (pending on heat distribution tariffs for the fifth-generation district energy systems and LowEx applications, the temperature is the best fit for LowEx applications). The interrupted and unpredictable characteristics of renewables are offset by hydrogen storage.

Frequency of dogs with anti Leishmania Chagasi antibodies by immunochromatographic assay (DPP) in the city of Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Dogs are considered the main reservoir for visceral leishmaniasis infection in humans, a serious disease that is a relevant public health problem due to its wide geographical distribution. To date, there haven’t been notification of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL) in official health agencies of Sinop city, state of Mato Grosso. CVL diagnosis is difficult due to the variety of symptoms of the disease. In addition, animals may remain asymptomatic for life. In this study, the frequency of anti Leishmania chagasi antibodies was observed in 201 dogs referred to the clinical routine of the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Campus of Sinop, during a 67 days period, through immunochromatographic method (DPP). Obtained results showed that seven animals were positive while one hundred ninety four were negative to the test. This result is relevant as far as it may increase the risk of CVL dispersion to non-endemic areas, highlighting the need of implementation effective measures to quickly detect Leishmania chagasi and prevent epidemiological situations.

Microbiological pollution and some physicochemical properties of sıkaraağaçlar creek in sinop (Black Sea-Turkey)

Sırakaraağaçlar creek located in Akliman of Sinop city. It is born within the province of Sinop and discharges from the Akliman coastline to the Black Sea. The work continued from May 2014 to April 2015. Four stations were stated in the study. To determine the quality of water, some physicochemical features and microbiological analysis of creek water was determined. These are temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, biological oxygen demand, ammonium nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, organic matter, total suspended solids parameters, and Total coliform and Fecal coliform values. When the T. coliform and F. coliform values of Sırakaraağaçlar Creek were examined seasonally, the minimum values were found as 35.88±1.48 cfu/100ml and 27.33±1.25 cfu/100ml at S1 station in Winter, and the maximum values were 1263.55±184.57 cfu/100ml and 1020.22±105.29 cfu/100ml at S4 station in Summer, respectively. The results obtained from the creek water were classified according to the regulations of Turkey's Surface Water Quality Management. It was evaluated whether the perimeter of the creek had any effect on the water source.

Epidemiological profile of tuberculosis in the city of Sinop, Mato Grosso, from 2012 to 2018

Tuberculosis is an important global health problem associated with low levels of education and income. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of notified cases of tuberculosis in the municipality of Sinop, Mato Grosso, between 2012 and 2018. This is a descriptive study using secondary data from the Brazilian Notification Disease Information (SINAN NET). In the municipality of Sinop, between 2012 and 2018, there were 162 reports of tuberculosis, 80.86% of new cases, 4.32% of relapses, 4.93% of re-entry after treatment abandonment. Regarding age, the most affected was between 20 and 34 years (36% of cases); 23% of individuals completed elementary school only; 65% are male and 9% are coinfected with HIV. It was noticed that the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis cases in Sinop, are in line with the reality presented worldwide, and it is necessary to reinforce the health care of the population, seeking to walk together with the other international organizations that aim to eliminate this disease.

An Examination of Cases of Drowning in Water in Sinop Province

The water environment offers a wide range of opportunities for people to have fun, organize activities for sports and recreation. The water environment is not an environment in which people can survive. But the buoyancy and the physical properties of the human make it possible to float on the surface of the water without sinking. Drowning in water; is a chain of events that starts with respiratory inhibition caused by sinking in the water environment and ends with complete cessation. Drowning can be considered as an important problem within the scope of public health. The number of people who lost their lives by drowning in a year is estimated to be around a thousand in Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine the deaths caused by drowning in the province of Sinop in terms of the number of people drowning on a yearly basis, the reasons for being there, the demographic characteristics of these people, how the drowning took place and the environment in which drowning events took place. In this research, online search engines were crawled with the following keywords, "drowned in the sea", "drowned in the water", "dropped into the water and drowned", "victim saved but savior drowned ", "couldn’t save and drowned", "drowned while swimming" etc. and news about drowning were collected on a daily basis based on the date of 01.01.2005 and 31.12.2016. In the light of the information obtained from these news, the information of the people who drowned, the place of the drowning event, the reasons for being at the scene of the incident, the water environment, etc. were recorded. The analysis of the data was carried out with the SPSS 21 package program and 2 of the descriptive statistical methods, frequency and percentage tests were used. As a result, the number of people who died by drowning in the city of Sinop in 12 years was determined to be 64. Swimming and water safety training should be provided from a young age in order to prevent deaths as a result of drowning.

The Emergence of Chikungunya ECSA Lineage in a Mayaro Endemic Region on the Southern Border of the Amazon Forest.

Anthropic changes on the edges of the tropical forests may facilitate the emergence of new viruses from the sylvatic environment and the simultaneous circulation of sylvatic and urban viruses in the human population. In this study, we investigated the presence of arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) in the sera of 354 patients, sampled from February 2014 to October 2018 in Sinop city. We sequenced the complete genomes of one chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-positive and one out of the 33 Mayaro virus (MAYV)-positive samples. The CHIKV genome obtained here belongs to the East/Central/South African (ECSA) genotype and the MAYV genome belongs to the L genotype. These genomes clustered with other viral strains from different Brazilian states, but the CHIKV strain circulating in Sinop did not cluster with other genomes from the Mato Grosso state, suggesting that at least two independent introductions of this virus occurred in Mato Grosso. Interestingly, the arrival of CHIKV in Sinop seems to not have caused a surge in human cases in the following years, as observed in the rest of the state, suggesting that cross immunity from MAYV infection might be protecting the population from CHIKV infection. These findings reinforce the need for continued genomic surveillance in order to evaluate how simultaneously circulating alphaviruses infecting the human population will unfold.

Sediment-water interactions with eelgrass (Zostera spp.) from Sinop shores of the Black Sea

This study is to provide information on levels of the elements in leaves and roots-rhizomes of Zostera marina and Zostera noltei, their surrounding sea water and sediments collected from Akliman and Turkeli coastal areas of Sinop city in the Black Sea four times between September 2015 and July 2016. The concentrations of Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg and Pb in digested samples were measured by Agilent Technologies, 7700X ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer). The results showed that the concentrations of metals were found in the order Hg 2). The general capacities of element translocation were found as acropetal for Al, Mn, Ni, Cd and Hg in eelgrass. The present findings interpreted for the first time in the Turkish Black Sea waters. Both species of Zostera in high concentrations of these elements may be due to untreated wastes that are discharging from different sources such as harbor activities, agricultural and domestic wastes in coastal areas. In order to assess the impact of contaminants and take necessary actions, the region needs to be monitored regularly.

The Effects of Student and School Level Characteristics on Academic Achievement of Middle School Students in Turkey

The purpose of the study was to examine the student-level and school-level variability that affect middle school students’ academic achievement. Student background and school context on student academic achievement were examined. Participants of the study consisted of 1053 seventh and eighth grade middle school students from 10 schools in the cities of Ankara and Sinop, Turkey. The research study analysed using two-level hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). Data were analysed with three HLM models: (1) random effects one-way ANOVA model, (2) random coefficients regression model, (3) intercepts and slopes-as outcomes model. The results of the analyses showed that at the student level, gender, SES, and number of siblings were found to have statistically significant effects on student GPA. When considering the practical importance of student level variables, SES, and number of siblings have small effects, but gender has a moderate effect on students’ school achievements. On average, female students perform higher than male students in terms of their GPA scores. At the school level, educational school resources have a significant effect on predicting academic achievement. It has been shown that school resources have a moderate effect on students’ academic achievements.
