Authors: Shaikh Zulfiqar Ali , Shamim Javeria , Bhatti Akmal Khurshid , Soomro Sahar , Kiran Zareen , Matloob Syed Azhar
Published: March 2021

Background: Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. IHD results from myocardial ischemia, and occurs whenever perfusion outgrows the demand. Though lethal, but can be prevented by modification of predisposing conditions, most important are diabetes and hypertension. Almost fifty percent of IHD patients are found hypertensive with or without being diabetic. The objective of the study was to determine association of diabetes and hypertension as risk factors for IHD patients
Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study that included 199 IHD patients of 35-70 years age, visiting Civil Hospital Karachi, a tertiary care public sector hospital, from September 2017 to January 2018 by using non-probability convenient sampling technique. The patients were approached in the hospital and briefed about the purpose of the study. A pre-tested, structured close ended questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data entry and analysis were done by using SPSS version 20.0. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Out of 199 participants, 156 (78%) were males while 43 (22%) were females; 119 60%) were 56-65 years of age. Family history of ischemic heart diseases was unremarkable in 126 (63%) patients. In total, 122 (61%) were diabetic; among them, 24 were of less than 40years and 98 of more than 40years of age. The older age of the diabetics had a direct association with the risk of IHD (p-value <0.05). About 83% had a non-significant family history for diabetes; and 83% of the total study participants were having a sedentary lifestyle. Out of 199, 166 (83%) had never checked their blood pressures earlier. The lifestyle, diet, addiction, and duration of hypertension had a strong association with IHD (p-value <0.05).
Conclusion: IHD occurs more frequently in males of 56-65 years age, with insignificant family history for IHD and diabetes. The IHD is associated with hypertension and diabetes along with sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and smoking/tobacco addiction.
Prensa étnica italiana en Chile. Estudio cultural acerca de los discursos literarios, periodísticos y consulares (1890-1943)
Authors: Sergio Iván
Published: March 2021

En el último cuarto del siglo XIX se consolidó la comunidad italiana en Chile que hasta aquel entonces estaba dividida en pequeñas realidades aisladas sin un centro unificador; de hecho, las primeras dos instituciones italianas con sede en Valparaíso se fundaron en 1856 y 1858 -respectivamente la Sociedad mutuo socorro Unión Italiana y la Compañía de bomberos Cristoforo Colombo. Los primeros periódicos italianos en Chile datan de 1890 en el mismo periodo que se fundaron las instituciones italianas en Santiago como la Sociedad Mutuo Socorro “Italia” (1880), la Escuela Italiana de Santiago (1891), la Escuela Dante Alighieri (1902), entre otras. Si bien los periódicos italianos empiezan a publicarse a finales del siglo XIX, hemos encontrado la noticia de un periódico publicado en el año 1862, en el libro de Vittorio Briani1: se trata del Corriere d’Italia2 que fue presumiblemente publicado en Valparaíso y fue dirigido por Luigi Pagnani que, además, fue cónsul de Italia en Valparaíso. En todo caso, la prensa étnica italiana en Chile empezó a desarrollarse en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.En 1890, entonces, con la fundación de L’Eco d’Italia y de L’Italia empezó a desarrollarse en Chile una primera forma de prensa étnica italiana. Con el término prensa étnica la historiografía se refiere a todas las publicaciones periódicas publicadas fuera del territorio nacional, en nuestro caso específico fuera de Italia. Esta prensa es distinta a la nacional en cuanto a sus características peculiares, como, por ejemplo, el tipo de público al que se dirige y el contenido tratado en sus periódicos. Es precisamente en este periodo cuando empezaron a circular en Santiago y Valparaíso los primeros discursos italianos a través de la difusión y de la publicación de dicha prensa; resulta necesario, a la hora de analizar los discursos que serán objeto de nuestra investigación, subrayar que éstos se desarrollaron en la prensa étnica y, por consiguiente,tuvieron el doble objetivo de mantener los lazos con la patria nativa y de reforzar los vínculos internos en la comunidad italiana recién formada, como se lee en las mismas fuentes.3 El estudio de los discursos periodísticos y literarios es parte de una problemática más amplia que aborda el tema de la formación de una imagen de la colectividad italiana en Chile, a través de la prensa étnica que se publicó en Santiago y Valparaíso desde el final del siglo XIX hasta la mitad del siglo pasado. Por lo tanto, la tesis tiene como objeto de estudio los discursos periodísticos y literarios italianos analizados, por un lado, a partir de la prensa étnica que se publicó en Santiago y Valparaíso desde el año 1890 hasta el año 1943; y por el otro, examinando los documentos consulares enviados al Ministero degli Affari Esteri en Roma.

'Florida Whitewater' Caladium - A University of Florida Cultivar
Authors: Wilfert G. J. , Harbaugh Brent K. , Miranda B. D.
Published: March 2021

Caladiums [Caladium bicolor (Ait.) Vent., syn. Caladium xhortulanum Birdsey], grown for their colorful foliage, are members of the aroid family (Araceae Juss.) native to tropical America (Croat, 1979). Although their native habitat largely consists of dense, moist forests with heavy shade, many of the cultivars grown today retain their bright color in full sun (Bell and Wilfret, 1998). Demand for caladiums is increasing because of their diversity in leaf color and shape, adaptability to various light conditions, and relatively low maintenance requirements (Harbaugh and Tjia, 1985). 'Florida Whitewater', derived from a cross between the popular caladium cultivars 'White Wing' and 'White Queen', initially was evaluated in 1985 as GC85-338. This document is ENH964, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Red and black mason wasp, Pachodynerus erynnis (Lepeletier)
Authors: Laplante Kelly , Hobbs Wayne , Dale Adam
Published: March 2021

Pachodynerus erynnis (Lepeletier) is a predatory wasp that specializes in preying upon caterpillars, the larvae of moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). This insect does not yet have an officially accepted common name and has been referred to as the red and black mason wasp, red-marked Pachodynerus, and a mason wasp. As with other closely related wasps, Pachodynerus erynnis does not form a communal hive, but builds solitary nests in holes or crevices of trees or man-made structures, as well as abandoned nests created by other cavity-nesting bees and wasps. The red and black mason wasp frequently visits flowering plants and can be found entering nesting cavities nearby. This insect is considered highly beneficial because it feeds on several key caterpillar pests, including armyworms (Spodoptera spp.), cutworms (Agrotis spp.), and loopers (Noctuoidea), and has been associated with increased pest control in managed landscapes. Although fairly common, this wasp often goes unnoticed due to its solitary nature and quick flight.

Reniform Nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford & Oliveira (Nematoda: Tylenchida: Tylenchoidea: Hoplolaimidae: Rotylenchulinae)
Authors: Wang Koon-Hui
Published: March 2021

Reniform nematodes in the genus Rotylenchulus are semiendoparasitic (partially inside roots) species in which the females penetrate the root cortex, establish a permanent-feeding site in the stele region of the root and become sedentary or immobile. The anterior portion (head region) of the body remains embedded in the root whereas the posterior portion (tail region) protrudes from the root surface and swells during maturation. The term 'reniform' refers to the kidney-shaped body of the mature female. There are ten species in the genus Rotylenchulus. Rotylenchulus reniformis is the most economically important species (Robinson 1997 ) and is called the reniform nematode. This document is EENY-210, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Authors: Capinera John L.
Published: March 2021

The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius), is native to the western hemisphere, but not to the United States. It apparently was introduced into Louisiana about 1855, and has since spread to the other Gulf Coast States. It inhabits only the warmer portions of these states, however. Sugarcane borer also occurs throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and the warmer portions of South America south to northern Argentina. This document is EENY-217, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Terrestrial Amphipods or "Lawn Shrimp," (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Authors: Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: March 2021

Amphipods comprise an order of crustacea, shrimp-like in form, which contains mostly marine and freshwater forms. While some species are terrestrial, they still require moist habitats. These terrestrial species are sometimes referred to as "lawn shrimp" due to their similarity to true shrimp. Amphipods were first described in New South Wales, Australia, and then later on several Pacific islands. They were first reported in the Western Hemisphere in 1918 when at least one species was found in California (Mallis 1990). This document is EENY-220, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Brown Garden Snail, Helix aspersa Müller (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Helicidae)
Authors: Dekle Geo W. , Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: March 2021

The brown garden snail (European brown snail) Helix (Cyptoomphalus) aspersa Müller, was described by O.F. Müller in 1774 from specimens collected in Italy. This plant feeder has been disseminated into many parts of the world intentionally as a food delicacy, accidentally by the movement of plants, and by hobbyists who collect snails. It was introduced to California in the 1850s as a source of escargot. It has adapted well to California and is very troublesome as a pest of crops and ornamentals (Capinera 2001). This document is EENY-240 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 83), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Surveillance for Mosquito-borne Viruses
Authors: Rutledge-Connelly C. Roxanne
Published: March 2021

There are three very important mosquito-borne diseases that occur in Florida: Eastern equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and West Nile fever/encephalitis; all of these diseases are caused by viruses that are transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. This document considers the monitoring of virus activity, that is, surveillance for the organisms which mosquitoes can transmit from one host (e.g. bird) to another (e.g. human). This document is Fact Sheet ENY-699 one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Apple Maggot, Apple Maggot Fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritidae)
Authors: Weems, Jr. Howard V. , Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: March 2021

The apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (also known as the "railroad worm") is an insect native to North America. Originally it fed in the fruit of wild hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), but during the past 130 years it has become a primary pest of cultivated apples, especially in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Summer- and early fall-maturing varieties are particularly vulnerable, but hard winter apples are sometimes infested. Thin skinned sweet and subacid varieties are most susceptible, but acid varieties may be attacked. Plum, pear, and cherries also serve as hosts, but usually the apple maggot is not a serious pest of these fruits. Crab apples are invariably infested by this pest. A closely related species, the blueberry maggot fly (Rhagoletis mendax Curran), is important as a pest of cultivated blueberries. This document is EENY-261 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 126), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Citrus Blackfly Parasitoid, Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
Authors: Nguyen Ru
Published: March 2021

Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri) is one of the most effective parasitoids of the citrus blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). It was discovered by Silvestri on A. incertus collected in Van-Phu (Vietnam) (Silvestri 1927). In 1950, E. opulenta from Saharanpur (India) were released for the control of A. woglumi in Mexico (Flanders 1969). The parasite was then introduced to Texas in 1971 (Summy et al. 1983), and Florida in 1976 (Hart et al. 1978) to suppress and maintain under the economic threshold the population of the citrus blackfly in these states. This document is EENY-242 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 301), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Authors: Habeck Dale H. , Mead Frank W. , Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: March 2021

The lantana lace bug, Teleonemia scrupulosa Stål, often causes extensive damage to lantana, Lantana camara L. Although lantana is sometimes used as an ornamental, it is usually considered a weed. It often forms spiny, dense, impenetrable thickets covering large areas of valuable land. The lantana lace bug has been introduced into many countries as a biological control agent to combat lantana. This document is EENY-246 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 156), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) Disease
Authors: Hartman Kathleen H. , Yanong Roy P.E. , Petty B. Denise , Francis-Floyd Ruth , Riggs Allen C.
Published: March 2021

Koi herpes virus (KHV), a viral disease highly contagious to fish, may cause significant morbidity (sickness or disease) and mortality in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) (Hedrick et al., 2000; OATA, 2001). This species is raised as a foodfish in many countries and has been selectively bred for the ornamental fish industry, where it is known as koi. Historically, the first outbreak of KHV was reported in 1998 and confirmed in 1999 in Israel. Since then, other cases have been confirmed in the United States, Europe and Asia (Hedrick et al., 2000; OATA, 2001; Anonymous, 2003). This information sheet is intended to inform veterinarians, biologists, culturists, and hobbyists about KHV.

Protection Capacities and Local Environmental Protection
Authors: Lászó Erika
Published: March 2021

One of the fundamental areas of safety and security is environmental safety/security. In addition to and in cooperation with governmental organisations, citizens and municipalities also have a role to play. Today’s events have proved that the capacities are finite, so, it is not incidental what municipalities can undertake in the field of environmental protection. It is timely to examine this issue, as in the epidemic period of 2020, all areas of the protection sector need to review their capacities and know what the municipalities currently involved in protection administration will be capable to perform in the field of environmental protection and in what fields they will be prompted to seek the help of protection organisations. In this article, the author uses a questionnaire survey to provide an overview of the topic in order to examine the extent to which the principle of subsidiarity can be applied to the protection sphere.
Clausewitz és a legitim német geopolitika
Authors: Nagy Miklós Mihály , Dövényi Zoltán
Published: March 2021

A klasszikus német geopolitika kezdeti – a megalapítója, Karl von Haushofer által – legitimnek nevezett időszakában mélyreható tudományos polémia folyt az új tudományterület értelmezéséről és szellemtörténeti előzményeiről. E diskurzus a legújabb tudománytörténeti és -elméleti feldolgozásokban is hangot kap. A geopolitika tudománytörténetének lényeges része, jóllehet egységes állásfoglalás vele kapcsolatban napjainkig nem született. A vitára irányuló tudományos kutatások során kevés figyelmet szenteltek annak, hogy a klasszikus német geopolitikának – már a legitim időszakában is – volt egy bizonyos militáris jellege. E vonása nemcsak abban öltött testet, hogy vizsgálatainak egy része katonai és háborús témákra irányult, hanem abban is, hogy a geopolitikai szemléletmód új irányt jelölt ki a katonaföldrajz számára. A militáris jelleg alapján – a hadtudomány fejlődési folyamataiból eredően – feltételezhetjük, hogy Carl von Clausewitz katonaföldrajzi nézetei is a legitim német geopolitika egyik forrását adták. Ennek bizonyítását azonban nehezíti, hogy az egyetemes Clausewitz-kutatások nem foglalkoztak a német katonai gondolkodó földrajzi téziseivel. Így tanulmányunkban ezek főbb ismérveinek vizsgálata mellett a geopolitika megteremtője, Rudolf Kjellén és előfutára Friedrich Ratzel eszmerendszerét összevetjük a clausewitzi geográfiával. Célunk annak feltárása, hogy Clausewitz fő műve, a Vom Kriege szolgálhatott-e a klasszikus legitim német geopolitika egyik tudományos forrásaként.
Strategic Partnership between the European Union and Brazil
Authors: Füzesi Kitti
Published: March 2021

The EU–Brazil Strategic Partnership established in 2007 was the result of a long process. Within the framework of the Strategic Partnership the negotiations were carried out in three levels, between the Union and Brazil, the EU and Mercosur, and Brazil and the Member States of the Union. From the several important objectives specified at the yearly organised high-level summits the paper emphasises two areas, the economic and trade cooperation, and the energy cooperation. In the past thirteen years significant improvement could be experienced in both sectors.
