Communities of predatory mites (Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae) in different environments of the Brazilian Pampa

The Brazilian Pampa presents a high diversity of fauna and flora within a mosaic of environments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the assemblages of predatory mites (Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae) in three different Pampa environments: Grassland shrub vegetation, Grazing Exclusions fenced for six years and Riparian Forest with tree vegetation. Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae were evaluated with a total of 324 plant sampled from nine sites in three environments. Twenty-two Phytoseiidae species and six Stigmaeidae species were found. Riparian Forest presented the highest abundance of predatory mites (243) and the greatest species diversity. Mites were more abundant in Grazing Exclusions (64) than in Grassland (25) environments, but species diversity was similar. In Riparian Forest, the most abundant species were Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers, Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) and Agistemus floridanus González-Rodríguez. Arrenoseius gaucho Ferla, Silva and Moraes and Zetzellia malvinae Matioli, Ueckermann and Oliveira were the most abundant in Grassland environment. Our results demonstrate that the Brazilian Pampa has a high diversity of predatory mites and mite communities seem to be affected by the type of environment, showing the importance of this ecosystem as a reservoir of natural enemies.

Biochemical analysis of infected larvae showed increases and decreases and decreased in total proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. An extreme increase in phenoloxidase level was recorded after 24 and 48 hours from infection. Acetylcholinesterase showed a decrease after 24 hours from infection followed by an increase after 48 hours. B. bassiana could be included in IPM programs as a control agent against B. zonata.
How Icarus Paradox Doomed Kingfisher Airlines

Icarus, a Greek mythical character, is fabled to have plunged to his death in the Aegean Sea due to his own overconfidence and follies. Now management literature has adopted this fable and has extensively used to denote paradoxical decision-making in business. The present case analyses the rise and fall of the Indian air company Kingfisher Airlines Ltd (KFA) and its promoter the flamboyant Mr Vijay Mallya. The author draws parallel between Icarus and KFA, and presents how both met the same fate due to misplaced overconfidence. A few suggestions for organizations to tide over Icarus paradox are also presented.
Commentary on the Zimbabwean People’s Response towards the Anticipated COVID-19 Vaccine

The Coronavirus disease which started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has been and continues to claim lives worldwide. It created uncertainties and confusion even in the medical fi eld with its mutations which created new variants which proved to be more dangerous than the original one in some parts of the world leading it to be more fatal in the second wave. Eff ects of the new variant termed South African COVID-19 variant claimed to have mutated in South Africa, seriously spiked COVID-19 cases in Zimbabwe in the beginning of 2021 claiming many lives. In trying to curb the spread of the disease, the medical fraternity in Europe, America, Asia and South Africa sped the development of the vaccines for the pandemic. Various vaccines were created which included Sinopharm, Pfi zerBioNtech COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna, Oxford-AstraZeneca, Jonhsons and Jonhson, Gamaleya and others. The Zimbabwean government received a donation of 200, 000 doses of the vaccine Sinopharm from China with the promise of another 200,000 donation [1]. The country also ordered 600,000 more doses [2] from China. The inoculation of the vaccine was received with mixed feelings especially from the Zimbabwean general population. Hence the objective of this commentary is to make an analysis of this response with the guide of the Health Belief Model [HBM].
Selection of Biomechanical Features for Pattern Recognition in Postural Stability Analysis

Maintenance of balance is provided by using different joint strategies regarding the perturbation conditions. Performance of the joint strategies can be assessed by calculation of their kinematic-based features. The aim of this study was to identify the most effective stability features of the dominant role-playing strategy while standing on an unstable platform. Sixteen healthy young men participated in perturbed standing tests on an unstable platform supported by high and low stiffness springs. Motion capture analysis was employed in the sagittal plane to measure the joints angular rotations using. Path length of angular displacement and velocity, total mean velocity, standard deviation, root mean square and fractal dimension features were extracted for quantitative stability analysis. Then, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) classifiers in the wrapper feature selection technique were used to classify the low and high stiffness supports of the platform. The results first showed that ankle is the dominant strategy in keeping the balance. All three classifiers revealed acceptable performance for data classification, but by applying the wrapper method and selected velocity-based features, finally the support vector classification with 93.75% accuracy had the highest accuracy and efficiency. This study can provide an early diagnosis of balance problems, standing and joint mechanisms to prevent falls by evaluating the classifiers.
Price Discovery in Indian Gold Market

Market volatility and collapse of world’s currencies have led investors and public in general to look for alternate assets like gold which has been identified as a good hedge against inflation whilst also holding sentimental value in the Indian context. Gold futures market is highly liquid and traded across different exchanges. This study is conducted to see if efficient market hypothesis allows for price discovery of gold spot prices from gold futures and volume traded in market using monthly data from 2009-2019. Results show that the lagged volumes of traded gold stocks do not affect the futures or spot prices of gold. Rather, the lagged futures prices cause change in spot prices of domestic gold prices. It is also found that troughs of international gold prices does not necessarily coincidence with slump in domestic gold prices which remains resilient due to domestic market sentiments. To conclude, this paper will help policymakers to design specialized gold products and make suitable future policy changes in the Indian domestic market.
Control of Digitaria insularis resistant to glyphosate using a combination of herbicides in coffee farms

Coffee has a significant economic, social, and cultural impact on Brazilian society, generating jobs for thousands of Brazilians. Good management practices such as weed control have direct and indirect benefits on coffee yield and quality. Currently, there is an increase in the infestation rate of Digitaria insularis in coffee plantations due to chemical resistance to glyphosate. In the literature, the study of the combination of glyphosate with different herbicides has been investigated, aiming at improving the efficiency of the control of D. insularis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of control of the D. insularis in a coffee farm using a combination of glyphosate with clethodim and phenoxaprope-p-ethyl. Trials were conducted in a commercial coffee farm in southern Minas Gerais in a field with a two-year-old cultivar IAC Catuaí 144. The experiment was conducted under a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications, totaling 20 experimental plots. Thirty and ninety days after application, the number of plant were counted. The results show that the use of glyphosate alone was not efficient to control of D. insularis. The results show that the herbicide mixtures were efficient in the control.
The effect of nobiletin on performance of rats in forced swimming and elevated plus maze tests in intranigral lipopolysaccharide rat model of Parkinson's disease

Background and Objective: Anti-inflammatory property of nobiletin (NOB) is proven and neuroinflammation is involved in triggering and progression of neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor features including psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study to investigate whether oral nobiletin administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg has the ability to alleviate non-motor behavioural changes including depression and anxiety-like behaviors in LPS-induced model of PD in rat.Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 32 male Wistar rats (195-245 g) were divided into four groups (n=8) as follows: Sham-operated group, nobiletin-treated sham-operated group (sham+NOB), lesion group (LPS) and nobiletin-treated lesion group (LPS+NOB). LPS (5 μg/kg) rat was unilaterally injected into the SN of rat brains through standard stereotaxis, according to the atlas of Paxinos and Watson (to generate a neuroinflammatory model of PD), with or without NOB (10 mg/kg administrated daily for 1 week after surgery, via gavage). Behavioral assessment was carried out one week after surgery by assessment of performance in forced swimming and elevated plus maze tests.Results: NOB-treated LPS group showed significant decrease in immobility time and insignificant increase in the percentage of open arm spending time as compared with LPS group which demonstrate the anti-depressant like effect of NOB in inflammatory model of PD in rats.Conclusion: Taken together, this study demonstrated that nobiletin as an anxiolytic and anti-depressive agent in the LPS-induced rat model of Parkinson’s disease.
Soil radioactivity and radiotoxic risks of uranium in drinking water. A case study of Jos Plateau, Nigeria

Protection and assessment of any radiation pollution resulting from the use and disposal of radioactive materials to the large extent depend on the knowledge of natural radioactivity level of an environment. This work determined the activity concentration of terrestrial radionuclides Ra, Th and K in top soil samples of Jos Plateau using high resolution HPGe detector. Inductive Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the chemical concentrations of uranium (U) in drinking water samples collected from the area. The activity concentration of Ra varied between 34±1 and 1006±18 Bq/kg, 67±2 and 1695±37 Bq kg−1 for Th and between 67±4 and 2465±45 Bq/kg for K. Chemical concentration of U in water samples was found to vary from 1.4 to 35 μg/ L. The values of radiological risks due to radioactivity and chemical risks of mortality and morbidity due concentration of U in drinking water were estimated. The risk values for some samples are found to be within safe limits provided by health and environmental protection agencies (ICRP, WHO and USEPA). The radiometric data could be useful for geochemical exploration and diagnosis and prognosis of uranium persuaded diseases for the local inhabitants in the study area.
Modelling and control of a grid-tied power conditioning unit for a megawatt fuel cell system

It is a reality that future development in the energy sector is founded on the utilization of renewable and sustainable energy sources. These energy sources can empower to meet the double targets of diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring reliable and cost-effective energy supply. Fuel cells are one of the advanced clean energy technologies and have demonstrated their ability to be a decent substitute to address the above-mentioned concerns. They are viewed as reliable and efficient technologies to operate either tied or non-tied to the grid and power applications ranging from domestic, commercial to industrial. Among different fuel cell technologies, proton exchange membrane is the most attractive. Its connection to the utility grid requires that the power conditioning system serving as the interface between the stack and the grid operates accordingly. This study aims to model and control a power conditioning system for the gridconnection of a megawatt fuel cell stack. Besides the grid, the system consists of a 1.54 MW/1400 V DC proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack, a 1.3 MW/600 V three-level diode clamped inverter and an LCL filter which is designed to reduced harmonics and meet the standards such as IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-6. The power conditioning control scheme comprises voltage and current regulators to provide a good power factor and satisfy synchronization requirements with the grid. The frequency and phase are synchronized with those of the grid through a phase-locked-loop. The modelling and simulation are performed using Matlab/Simulink. The results show good performance of the proposed microgrid as well as the inverter design and control approach with a low total harmonic distortion of about 0.35% for the voltage and 0.19% for the current.

Molecular imprinting of antibiotic films for electroanalysis of the dopamine/ascorbate system

Molecular films of a natural antibiotic lasalocid A have been cast on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes and used for the differentiation of electrochemical signals in the model system composed of dopamine and ascorbate. The best signal resolution is obtained at the films that were prepared by evaporating solvent from a chloroform solution of lasalocid that was equilibrated with an aqueous solution of dopamine. The improved selectivity of such films is ascribed to their enhanced hydrophobicity. The latter is hypothesized to be the result of lasalocid's compact cyclic conformation, which was imprinted in the solid films by the complexation with dopamine. When operated at a constant potential of 0.20 V, the lasalocid-based dopamine sensors are free of interferences from ascorbate and displayed low detection limits (-70 nM dopamine, S/N=3) in conjunction with fast response times (∼0.4 s).
Automated Product Review Collection and Opinion Analysis Methods for Efficient Business Analysis

In this paper, we propose a business analysis method that automatically collects review information related to a specific product by using a web crawler, analyzes the customer's emotional response to the product, and supports marketing activities. In order to process data collected from web pages and social networks into information that can be used for marketing, several levels of data processing and text mining techniques are needed. Although various studies have been carried out for this purpose, the data collected through lots of effort and cost contain more extensive information than needed for marketing. So the usefulness of the information obtained through data processing and analysis is not really good. In this paper, we propose a system that automatically receives data from interested sites, interested fields, interested keywords, and target period information from a user and crawls the data. In addition, the reviews that can be used only in marketing can be selected to judge whether or not they are positive, thus it improves the accuracy of the analysis. For the experiment, we collected the reviews of the books sold by specific publishers over the past three years and conducted reputation analysis. The proposed classifier distinguishes through supervisor whether the data collected is a proper review or not. The accuracy of the review classifier is 98.7%. The reputation analyzer judges whether the review is positive or negative with the 86.1% accuracy. The results of this study can be used directly in various industries. And we plan to develop the reputation analyzer, improving the accuracy and extracting the reputation factors affecting customers.
