Multifocal Polypseudophakia With Rayner Sulcoflex Trifocal and In-the-Bag Alcon PanOptix Diffractive Trifocal Intraocular Lenses: A Case Report
Authors: Mallick Pauline , Rossiter-Thornton Michael , Azar Domit
Published: November 2023

Purpose:

To describe the use of a sulcus diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) used in series with an intracapsular diffractive multifocal IOL to improve uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA).

Methods:

A 66-year-old pseudophakic woman with bilateral multifocal IOLs presented with symptoms of negative dysphotopsia and poor reading vision in the right eye. A diffractive multifocal sulcus IOL was inserted in the right eye.

Results:

After 1 month, the patient's right UNVA had improved from N10 to N6. Subjectively there was a 50% improvement in negative dysphotopsia and no increase in photic phenomena.

Conclusions:

A diffractive trifocal secondary sulcus IOL can be used in series with an intracapsular diffractive trifocal lens. The success of this approach suggests that it may be used to both improve negative dysphotopsia and address postoperative refractive error.

A high-order stabilizer-free weak Galerkin finite element method on nonuniform time meshes for subdiffusion problems
Authors: Toprakseven Şuayip , Dinibutun Seza
Published: November 2023

We present a stabilizer-free weak Galerkin finite element method (SFWG-FEM) with polynomial reduction on a quasi-uniform mesh in space and Alikhanov's higher order L2-$ 1_\sigma $ scheme for discretization of the Caputo fractional derivative in time on suitable graded meshes for solving time-fractional subdiffusion equations. Typical solutions of such problems have a singularity at the starting point since the integer-order temporal derivatives of the solution blow up at the initial point. Optimal error bounds in $ H^1 $ norm and $ L^2 $ norm are proven for the semi-discrete numerical scheme. Furthermore, we have obtained the values of user-chosen mesh grading constant $ r $, which gives the optimal convergence rate in time for the fully discrete scheme. The optimal rate of convergence of order $ \mathcal{O}(h^{k+1}+M^{-2}) $ in the $ L^\infty(L^2) $-norm has been established. We give several numerical examples to confirm the theory presented in this work.
Il processo rielaborativo di Johann Georg Pisendel in alcune Sonate per violino e basso continuo
Authors: Ammetto Fabrizio
Published: November 2023

A detailed analysis of four concordant movements, taken from five autograph sonatas for violin and basso continuo by Johann Georg Pisendel, allows us to identify some compositional and reworking methods of the German musician. The alternative versions recorded in these manuscripts seem to derive frequently from performing and improvisatory practice.
Linking Practices and Standards to Strategies that Enhance Writing for Students With Disabilities
Authors: Braxton Destini N. , Terrell Karen L.
Published: November 2023

Because mathematics and language are interconnected, often students are asked to “explain” their answers or “justify” their choices. It is critical that students are able to verbally express their thoughts, as this is considered an “authentic practice of the discipline.” The Standards for Mathematical Practice require that all students be able to make sense of problems, and also communicate both in writing and orally; skills which the communication standard has promoted for over two decades. Moreover, in the case of SWDs, those who are dually identified often show more confidence when asked to write their logic, as opposed to speaking. This chapter, therefore, explores strategies that will assist and allow students to exhibit their acquired knowledge through their writing skills in mathematics and enable the building of their confidence when explaining their logic and reasoning – especially those with diverse learning needs.
As experiências de Flávio de Carvalho na década de 1930, um atravessamento pela decolonialidade
Authors: Ribeiro Ana Carolina , Dantas da Silva Marta
Published: November 2023

Este estudo tem como propósito estabelecer um olhar afetado pela decolonialidade para as ações performativas do multiartista brasileiro Flávio de Carvalho na década de 1930, em São Paulo. Período em que, alinhado às ideias da Antropofagia, o artista promoveu diversas ações que, para além do intuito provocador, parecem revelar o seu ativismo em busca de desvelar os efeitos da colonialidade. Do recorte espaço-temporal estabelecido, destacam-se a Experiência nº2 e o projeto do Teatro da Experiência que serão investigados a partir dos registros (textos e imagens) produzidos e publicados pelo próprio artista.
Modernismo e decolonialismo nas políticas oficiais de preservação do patrimônio cultural brasileiro: narrativas de exclusão e as evidências de contribuições da cultura africana na arquitetura de tradição colonial em São Paulo (séculos XVIII-XIX)
Authors: Nóbrega de Jesus Carlos Gustavo
Published: November 2023

O objetivo do artigo é trazer reflexões acerca da influência do pensamento modernista nas políticas públicas e nas práticas de preservação do patrimônio cultural no Brasil a partir de uma reflexão historicizada do SPHAN (Serviço de Patrimônio Histórico e Artistico Nacional), órgão federal criado para esses fins em 1937. Ao mobilizar questões teóricas da epistemologia decolonial e da diáspora africana, busca-se demonstrar a hipótese que tal influência “moderna” pode ter contribuído para uma leitura colonialista que primou pela dissimulação da presença marcante dos modos de fazer africano no patrimônio cultural brasileiro, principalmente na arquitetura de tradição colonial paulista.
Both Humoral and Cellular Immunity Limit the Ability of Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccines to Promote T Cell Responses
Authors: Lobby Jenna L , Danzy Shamika , Holmes Katie E , Lowen Anice C , Kohlmeier Jacob E
Published: November 2023

One potential advantage of live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) is their ability to establish both virus-specific Ab and tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) in the respiratory mucosa. However, it is hypothesized that pre-existing immunity from past infections and/or immunizations prevents LAIV from boosting or generating de novo CD8+ T cell responses. To determine whether we can overcome this limitation, we generated a series of drifted influenza A/PR8 LAIVs with successive mutations in the hemagglutinin protein, allowing for increasing levels of escape from pre-existing Ab. We also inserted a CD8+ T cell epitope from the Sendai virus nucleoprotein (NP) to assess both generation of a de novo T cell response and boosting of pre-existing influenza-specific CD8+ T cells following LAIV immunization. Increasing the level of escape from Ab enabled boosting of pre-existing TRM, but we were unable to generate de novo Sendai virus NP+ CD8+ TRM following LAIV immunization in PR8 influenza-immune mice, even with LAIV strains that can fully escape pre-existing Ab. As these data suggested a role for cell-mediated immunity in limiting LAIV efficacy, we investigated several scenarios to assess the impact of pre-existing LAIV-specific TRM in the upper and lower respiratory tract. Ultimately, we found that deletion of the immunodominant influenza NP366–374 epitope allowed for sufficient escape from cellular immunity to establish de novo CD8+ TRM. When combined, these studies demonstrate that both pre-existing humoral and cellular immunity can limit the effectiveness of LAIV, which is an important consideration for future design of vaccine vectors against respiratory pathogens.
Laboralización de la función pública. Reflexiones a propósito del debate sobre la aplicación de la acción de tutela de derechos fundamentales a los trabajadores públicos
Authors: Varas Marchant Karla Cecilia
Published: November 2023

La doctrina clásica administrativista postula que quienes trabajan en la Administración Pública deben estar sometidos a un régimen de derecho público, de carácter estatutario y no contractual, quedando su regulación en la órbita del derecho administrativo. El trabajo que realizan estas personas, por tanto, no debe quedar entregado a la regulación del régimen jurídico privado –el Derecho del Trabajo–. El objetivo principal de este artículo será derribar la clásica tesis de separación entre el trabajo desarrollado en el sector público del desarrollado en el sector privado, postulando que, en razón de la vocación de universalidad del derecho del trabajo, el constante crecimiento del aparato administrativo y el consecuente aumento de su personal, dicho régimen jurídico poco a poco ha ido tomando un protagonismo importante. Para demostrar que el sistema de función pública chileno está transitando hacia lo que se ha denominado fenómeno de laboralización de la función pública, analizaremos la problemática derivada de la aplicación de la acción de tutela de derechos fundamentales, regulada en el Código del Trabajo, a los trabajadores/as del sector público regidos por la normativa estatutaria. A partir de este análisis, demostraremos que el derecho del trabajo poco a poco ha ido avanzando hacia tierras que le eran ajenas, en aras de la protección del trabajo subordinado.

Nuevas regulaciones, mismos problemas: el consentimiento informado de niños, niñas y adolescentes en Chile tras la reforma a la Ley Nº 20.584
Authors: Marshall Pablo , Iuspa Carla , Godoy Loreto
Published: November 2023

El presente trabajo expone las innovaciones legislativas que la Ley 21.331, de Salud Mental, incorpora en la legislación sanitaria en lo que respecta a los niños, niñas y adolescentes, situándolas en relación con el contexto más amplio de los estándares internacionales de derechos humanos. Luego se concentra en mostrar cómo los problemas de interpretación existentes en el texto original de la Ley 20.584 respecto del consentimiento informado para procedimientos y tratamientos de salud en este grupo de personas no son solucionados (o al menos no del todo) por la reforma. Por el contrario, la nueva regulación introduce nuevos problemas de interpretación que hacen permanecer al consentimiento informado de niños, niñas y adolescentes en un terreno legalmente incierto.
Will hysteresis effects afflict the US economy during the post-COVID-19 recovery?
Authors: Setterfield Mark
Published: November 2023

An important property of hysteresis is that temporary events of sufficient magnitude can have permanent effects. The COVID-19 recession in the US was both temporary and extremely deep. This invites the hypothesis that the recession had permanent effects on the US economy as a result of hysteresis. We investigate this hypothesis by focusing on aggregate activity – both actual and potential – and searching for signs of possible adverse hysteresis effects in the data generated by the first two to three years of recovery from the COVID-19 recession. Results suggest that few such signs exist. The conclusion that emerges is that aggregate levels of activity in the US economy will emerge largely unscathed in the longer term from short-term adversities associated with the COVID-19 recession.
Parental Differences in Family Processes in Chinese Families Experiencing Economic Disadvantage
Authors: Tsin Yee Leung Janet , Tan Lei Shek Daniel
Published: November 2023

Parental differences in family processes (indexed by parental responsiveness, demandingness, control, and sacrifice for children’s education) were examined in 275 Chinese intact families experiencing economic disadvantage in Hong Kong. Consistent with the previous literature, results indicated that there were parent gender differences in family processes, including parental responsiveness, demandingness, control and sacrifice for children’s education based on the responses of parents and adolescents. Relative to mothers, fathers were less involved in parenting and having less sacrifice for their children’s education. Furthermore, adolescents perceived greater paternal-maternal differences in family processes than did parents. This is the first scientific research that studies parent gender differences in family processes in Chinese families experiencing economic disadvantage. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Filling the Gap? Female Entrepreneurs in Szeklerland, Romania
Authors: Gergely Orsolya
Published: November 2023

In Romania the macro social structural fluctuation after the change of regime in 1989 induced several social variations having the effect that the degradation of the state public sector became untenable. The secession from the state sectors, the evolution of private sectors started slowly and manifests itself as a slow process even nowadays. This paper presents some facts and results of a research made among Hungarian women from a rural region, named Szeklerland (Harghita and Covasna county, Romania), women who are running their own micro, small or medium sized business. The empirical background is provided by interviews and a survey made among more than five hundred female entrepreneurs.In this rural area the division of social roles between men and women is still following - mainly - the old traditions. In this context we can consider that it is appropriate to analyze how women can succeed in developing a significantly different role-structure. For people living in this rural region the setting up and running a business by a woman could be even perceived as a challenge. And nevertheless starting a business by women can be considered as a very positive economic phenomenon: a “job-creator” strategy against unemployment and low family income, and in the same time an innovative labor market response to the economic changes and poor job opportunities. Andit could have key role in local development and prosperity-growth of the small local communities.
New Forms of Exploitation: The Synthesis of Mis-recognition and Mal-distribution
Authors: Hanappi-Egger Edeltraud
Published: November 2023

Diversity and inclusion have become major topics in current political and economic thinking. While some practical progress has been made in combating the stigmatization and marginalization of historically discriminated groups, mal-distribution of economic resources persists. In order to devise a conceptual framework which incorporates dimensions of diversity (with respect to social categories) and equality (in terms of economically justifiable distribution of income and wealth), the paper will review the current debate on diversity and its role with respect to exploitation. It will be examined how the economic logic of Western capitalist systems is re-established in diversity studies, and suggestions for from a feminist point of view politically more astute economic approaches are proposed.
Gender and Careers in Astrophysical Science
Authors: Gaspani Fabio
Published: November 2023

The hard recognition of women-scientists' role is a central issue for national and supra-national institutions and organizations. Despite the growing access of women in scientific fields of study, the female presence in scientific institutes and equal career opportunities are struggling to establish themselves. These institutes refer to a gendered organizational structure able to reproduce differences in status of women and men. Focusing on the astrophysical sector, the article summarizes the results of a qualitative research that explores the role that gender plays in career paths. In fact, social and cultural practices related to gender can be considered as interpretative keys through which investigate the process of stratification and mobility and the power relations in the workplace. Within organizations, the way in which women-scientists define themselves is the result of processes that interactively act on different levels and spheres of life, and are linked to social norms and representations related to gender roles. Only re-defining the relationships that women have established with the political and social order of the scientific environment gender equality can be achieved.
Conocer el Odio: Hacia una Interpretación de la Narrativa de Pandillas Salvadoreñas

Published: November 2023

Este texto presenta resultados parciales de una investigación realizada entre 2007 y 2012 que tuvo como objetivo entender la interacción de las pandillas Mara Salvatrucha y Barrio 18St con la sociedad salvadoreña. Para ello se intenta una explicación acerca del origen del enfrentamiento dicotómico que se vive entre las pandillas, echando mano de la interpretación de narraciones de niñez de tres personas pertenecientes a una misma generación de salvadoreños/as marcados por la guerra civil (1980-1992). Se espera que el análisis muestre las formas en las cuales las realidades históricas del colectivo social impactan y moldean la subjetividad.
Aux origines de la méthode française d’enseignement du judo (1936-1967): acculturation, enjeux sportifs internationaux et gaullisme
Authors: Groenen Haimo
Published: November 2023

Le judo occupe une position singulière dans la société française grÃ¢ce Ã  l’image éducative dont elle bénéficie, dans la lignée de la discipline et de la méthode créées par Kano au XIXe siècle. Mais l’histoire du judo traduit aussi une acculturation des modèles japonais dominants, dont témoigne notamment l’élaboration d’une méthode française d’enseignement du judo. À la croisée d’une histoire culturelle des idées pédagogiques et d’une histoire sociale des acteurs impliqués, cette étude questionne l’affirmation d’une spécificité française dans l’enseignement du judo entre 1936 et 1967, Ã  partir d’archives écrites (manuels, revues, archives fédérales) et d’entretiens avec des pionniers. La création d’une méthode française d’enseignement est en continuité avec les conceptions des pionniers du judo français qui adaptent les modèles japonais Ã  la culture occidentale et nationale. Cette méthode, élaborée entre 1964 et 1967, est un pilier de la réforme de la formation des professeurs et permet d’unifier l’enseignement. Mais elle constitue surtout un moyen pour relever le niveau technique et sportif des judokas français, dont les résultats internationaux baissent dans un contexte d’essor et de sportivisation du judo. La méthode française s’inscrit ainsi parfaitement dans le gaullisme, visant une France forte et indépendante, y compris Ã  travers le sport fédéral.
La Educación Física Comparada en España (1806-1936)
Authors: Torrebadella Flix Xavier
Published: November 2023

En el proceso de institucionalización académico, profesional y popular de la educación física en Europa, que se manifestó a lo largo de todo el siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, España centralizó una considerable atención a los sucesos más allá de sus fronteras. A falta de poseer un sistema propio de educación física, como sucedía en otros países, España trató de exponer ejemplos e importar modelos extranjeros. Las discusiones técnicas y doctrinales sobre esta cuestión conllevaron una infinidad de alusiones en la prensa, en las revistas especializadas y en la literatura pedagógica y gimnástica. Asimismo durante el primer tercio del siglo XX se presentaron los primeros estudios sobre educación física comparada. La descripción e interpretación de estos documentos nos permite valorar su impacto y conocer, también, la influencia que ejercieron en España los sistemas de educación física extranjeros.
The Power and Limitations of Historical Case Study: A Consideration of Postwar African American Educational Experience
Authors: L Rury John
Published: November 2023

This essay considers the use of case studies in the history of education. In doing this, it focuses on the recent history of African American education and several prominent studies in particular. The power and limitations of case study research are considered, drawing upon literature in sociology and qualitative research. Focusing on highly acclaimed studies, historical research on African American education is utilized to assess the interpretive frames of leading historical case studies, revealing limitations in purview. Because issues related to educational inequality remain so important today, particularly segregation, the “achievement gap” and problems in urban education, this history remains highly relevant to current policy debates. Implications for historians and other researchers utilizing case study methods are discussed in the conclusion.

Social License and Nonmarket Strategies Based on Social Contract Theory
Authors: Ho Shuna S. H.
Published: November 2023

Social license (SL) refers to the approval by a corporation’s stakeholder community. While corporate social responsibility (CSR) and SL are linked by a social contract between corporation and society, they are distinguished from one another. It is often assumed that CSR guarantees SL, but evidence shows that, when members possess unequal socio-political power within a community approving SL, CSR can be counterproductive to SL. In a deliberatively democratic society, corporate political activity (CPA), as a nonmarket strategy other than CSR, can also harm SL, as it manifests corporate power that contradicts political egalitarianism.
The Influence of Brand Awareness, Brand Image and Brand Equity on Brand Attitude and Its Impact on Interest in Buying Ambon City Motorcycle Brands
Authors: Rumra Amir , Muhrim Noersyam
Published: November 2023

Currently, marketing aspects no longer focus solely on product functions but are more geared towards brand competition. Successful products or services always have a strong or dominant brand in the market. This research aims to (1) determine the influence of brand awareness, brand image, and brand equity on brand attitude and its impact on the intention to purchase a specific motorcycle brand in Ambon City and (2) identify the differences in brand awareness, brand image, brand equity, and brand attitude for each motorcycle brand, determining which one has a significantly positive influence. The research population consists of respondents who own one of the three brands and respondents interested in purchasing one of the three brands in Ambon City. The sample size was determined using non-probability sampling through purposive sampling, with a total of 300 individuals. The research results indicate that brand awareness, brand image, and brand equity have a significantly positive influence on brand attitude, and brand attitude has a significantly positive impact on the intention to purchase a specific motorcycle in Ambon City. The research also reveals that brand awareness, brand image, and brand attitude for Honda motorcycles are significantly more positive compared to Yamaha and Suzuki, while the brand equity of Yamaha is significantly more positive compared to Honda and Suzuki. The conclusion drawn from this research is that by establishing strong brand awareness, creating a positive brand image, and managing brand equity consistently, consumer attitudes towards the brand can be formed, ultimately driving the purchasing intention of the community towards motorcycle brands in Ambon City.

The passage highlights the complexity of integrated breast cancer care and the importance of effective communication in ensuring treatment compliance, reducing errors and complications, and managing co-morbidities. It emphasizes the need for clarity in the role of the care director to prevent patients from getting lost across different departments. Digital tools are recognized as valuable resources for improving care communication, but their directives and integration within the care team need to be clearly defined. Multidisciplinary team meetings are essential for driving care planning, establishing directives, and collecting structured data. Nurse navigators play a pivotal role in ensuring care continuity and assuming the director's role in the complex landscape of breast cancer care. While AI-driven planning can facilitate their tasks, human intervention remains crucial for providing psychosocial support and addressing unexpected urgencies. The allocation of patients across different healthcare centers is often managed manually and through phone communication, resulting in time-consuming processes and discontinuous system solutions. Privacy rules and competition among providers further limit the effectiveness of current solutions. Additionally, the collection of comprehensive outcome information is currently limited to specific collaborative networks. To address these challenges, AI tools can play a role in facilitating care allocation and predicting risks by leveraging data continuity over time. This can help identify non-compliance issues caused by factors such as limited local resources, distance, and costs. However, it is essential to conduct applied research to bring AI modeling into clinical practice and promote well-coordinated, patient-centric cancer care within the complex healthcare landscape.

Published: November 2023

Water availability is crucial to every nation’s capital. The appointment of Indonesia’s new capital through Indonesian Law No. 3 Year 2022 poses concerns regarding aquifer crisis as Nusantara is located on top of medium- to low-productivity aquifers. The shift of capital would entail groundwater resources utilization, which pose huge aquifer crisis risks. In contrast, Singapore, a city-state with limited aquifers, sufficiently mitigated aquifer crisis due to its water management policy that could accommodate its citizens’ water demands. In this paper, the authors conducted a comparative analysis on Singapore’s water management policies to provide recommendations on the shift of Indonesia’s capital to fulfill water demands and mitigate aquifer crisis. Using a normative approach, this paper portrays the lessons that can be taken from Singapore in ensuring water availability amidst its limited water resources and high demand of water.
loucura da linguagem em Água viva, de Clarice Lispector, à luz da ontologia literária de Foucault
Authors: Marangon Vinícius , Umbach Rosani Ursula Ketzer
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho investiga de que forma a manifestação literária de Água Viva (2015), de Clarice Lispector, à luz da ontologia literária foucaultiana, patenteia algumas das reflexões do pensador francês acerca da relação entre loucura e literatura e as formas de transgressão da linguagem pela qual a obra literária realiza, no espaço de linguagem em que se insere, herdado do indicativo da morte, um movimento decorrente do confronto com a natureza autoimplicada, dupla e vazia que é comum à linguagem literária e à loucura (FOUCAULT, 1972; 2002; 2009). Nomeadamente, procura-se identificar de que modo a obra em questão se configura enquanto fenômeno de autorrepresentação da linguagem, como essa linguagem se reduplica e quais indicações ontológicas são identificáveis na narrativa. Sem pretensões de uma análise minuciosa da obra, reflete-se sobre o movimento incessante de autoindicação ontológica através do qual se dá a representação no texto clariceano, bem como sobre a presença de características das linguagens a que Foucault definiu como: ‘insensata’; ‘que pronuncia palavras sacralizadas’; e ‘que convenciona palavras interditas’. Por fim, reflete-se sobre o efeito que a loucura da linguagem em Água Viva (2015) exerce sobre a experiência leitora.
Distintos Orientes: os imigrantes libaneses em dois romances brasileiros

Este artigo, à luz dos conceitos do Orientalismo de Edward Said (2007), tem como objetivo observar, em dois romances brasileiros, — A descoberta da América pelos turcos (2008 [1994]), de Jorge Amado, e Nur na escuridão (1999), de Salim Miguel — como se articula o olhar orientalista. Através da análise comparativa desses romances, observa-se que há a tentativa de superação do discurso orientalista por parte do autor de origem libanesa por meio da narrativa memorialista. Por sua vez, na obra de Jorge Amado percebe-se ainda a presença das características homogeneizantes dos árabes, apesar da tentativa de romper com os estereótipos. A partir dos aportes articulados por CURY (2006), GARCIA (2014), GATTAZ (2007;2012) e TRUZZI (2000), a análise nos permitiu concluir que existem maiores possibilidades de superação do Orientalismo através das estratégias narrativas de Salim Miguel, que se utilizou da nacionalidade, da autoficção e da memória para garantir uma autoridade discursiva cultural e etnicamente mais próxima dos sujeitos representados.
Interseccionalidade e multiplicidade feminina em cordel: Coração na aldeia, pés no mundo
Authors: Almeida Marcia Geralda de , Paula Géssica Francielle Nunes de
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura da obra Coração na aldeia, pés no mundo, da escritora e cordelista indígena Auritha Tabajara. À luz da teoria da interseccionalidade, esta análise compreende três momentos da obra, os quais se inter-relacionam e se complementam. Verificou-se que diversas categorias da diversidade humana são mobilizadas para sustentar as relações de poder e opressão da mulher indígena, por meio dos domínios de poder cultural, estrutural, disciplinar e interpessoal. Esses domínios de poder acionam raça, classe, gênero, etnia, religião, orientação sexual para determinar os limites, os contornos da feminilidade indígena, nos moldes da concepção eurocentrada de mulher. Entretanto, o cordel de Auritha rejeita esse padrão e sua literatura resiste.
Influência da salinidade e do déficit hídrico no desenvolvimento e no óleo essencial de manjericão
Authors:   , Governici Julia Lopes
Published: November 2023

O déficit hídrico e a salinidade são fatores abióticos prejudicais para a produção agrícola, reduzindo o crescimento e a produtividade das culturas. No entanto, para plantas medicinais, cujo interesse são produtos do metabolismo secundário, o déficit hídrico e a salinidade podem contribuir para o aumento na produção de metabólitos secundários e na melhoria de suas atividades biológicas. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se com o presente estudo avaliar o efeito da salinidade e do déficit hídrico sobre a produção e a qualidade fitoquímica do óleo essencial e o desenvolvimento de plantas de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum). Para isso foram realizados três experimentos distintos. No primeiro capítulo avaliou-se a influência de diferentes níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação no desenvolvimento, na fisiologia e no rendimento e composição química do óleo essencial de manjericão. O experimento foi conduzido em campo e foram analisados cinco níveis de salinidade obtidos através da adição de diferentes concentrações de cloreto de sódio na água de irrigação. Não foram observadas diferenças no crescimento e no acúmulo de biomassa entre os tratamentos salinos e o tratamento controle. Entretanto, a fotossíntese foi influenciada negativamente pela salinidade da água de irrigação. Com relação ao óleo essencial, não houve diferença no rendimento, porém a salinidade alterou sua composição química. No segundo capítulo, avaliou-se o efeito de seis níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação no desenvolvimento, nos nutrientes foliares e no rendimento e composição química do óleo essencial de manjericão, bem como nas características químicas do solo. Esse experimento foi realizado em ambiente protegido e o manjericão foi cultivado em vasos. A salinidade reduziu o crescimento e o acúmulo de biomassa nas plantas, entretanto estimulou a produção de óleo essencial e não afetou negativamente a absorção de nutrientes. Além disso, o aumento da salinidade da água de irrigação aumentou a concentração de linalol no óleo essencial. Em contrapartida, houve acúmulo de sódio no solo. No terceiro capítulo investigou- se a influência do déficit hídrico sobre o desenvolvimento e o rendimento e composição química do óleo essencial de manjericão. O experimento também foi conduzido em vasos em ambiente protegido e foram avaliadas quatro lâminas de irrigação. O déficit hídrico afetou negativamente o desenvolvimento e o acúmulo de biomassa do manjericão, entretanto as plantas cultivadas nas menores lâminas foram mais eficientes no uso da água. Com a diminuição da lâmina de irrigação houve aumento no rendimento de óleo essencial e alterações na composição e na concentração de seus constituintes. De modo geral, conclui-se que a salinidade e o déficit hídrico prejudicam o desenvolvimento do manjericão, mas podem ser alternativa interessante para o incremento da produção de óleo essencial com maior concentração de linalol.
