Minerály těžké frakce arkózových pískovců z Tismic u Českého Brodu (perm blanické brázdy, Česká republika)
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Ulmanová Jana
Published: December 2021

The heavy mineral concentrate originating from Permian freshwater sandstones/arkoses from the Tismice site (northern part of the Blanice Furrow, Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic) was studied in terms of mineral composition and chemical composition of selected phases. Ilmenite, to various degree altered to a TiO2 phase and/or unidentified non-stoichiometric Fe-Ti (hydro)oxides, is the predominating constituent of heavy mineral fraction. Garnet, tourmaline, apatite and baryte are subordinate components. Garnet (with commonly etched “drusy” surface) belongs exclusively to almandine (Alm45-91Prp4-27Sps1-32Grs0-17Adr0-5). Tourmaline has variable chemical composition, but oxy-dravite prevails. Accessory phases include biotite, REE-rich goyazite (Goy45-59Flo29-43Cra11-17Gor0-1), zircon, pyrite, limonite, gahnite (Ghn57-68Hrc21-32Spl7-10Mgt1-2Gal1), staurolite, xenotime and monazite. Baryte and goyazite were likely formed during diagenesis of the host sediments or during later hydrothermal activity. Detrital garnet and tourmaline were probably sourced from the granulites, mica schists and migmatites of the Malín segment of the neighbouring Kutná Hora Crystalline Complex (KHCC). Surprisingly, amphibolites or serpentinites, frequently present in areas of the KHCC more proximal to the Permian sedimentary basin, did not contribute their garnets. We suggest that these areas were not exposed to erosion during the Permian period. Spectacular etching of surface of garnets and pervasive alteration of ilmenite were associated with burial diagenesis of the host sediments.

Published: December 2021

An interesting copper mineralization has been discovered in fragments of hydrothermal quartz gangue found in dump material of the abandoned unnamed gallery 1.5 km S from Horní Halže (now part of the Měděnec village), the Krušné hory Mts., Czech Republic. The primary mineralization represented by fine-grained quartz, hematite, pyrite and probably also djurleite was intensively affected by supergene processes. Djurleite and pyrite are partly replaced by Cu sulphides - roxbyite, anilite, spionkopite and covellite. The origin of association bornite/half-bornite/anilite found in some samples can be analogous, although in this case it cannot be ruled out that it may be the result of decomposition of the original solid solution (against the ideal bornite clearly enriched in Cu) formed in the hydrothermal stage. The formation of other Cu minerals (malachite, brochantite, libethenite and pseudomalachite) and goethite is already clearly bound to supergene conditions, part of malachite and brochantite was then formed by (sub)recent weathering of Cu-sulphides in the mine dump material. The detailed descriptions, X-ray powder diffraction data, refined unit-cell parameters and quantitative chemical composition of individual studied mineral phases are presented.
CONTRIBUTION OF ZAVOLZHSKY ORPHANAGE № 2 IN ELIMINATING HOMELESSNESS IN THE CHUVASH ASSR
Authors: Semenova Inna Yu.
Published: December 2021

In post-revolutionary Russia, the scale of child homelessness and adolescent neglect, which resulted from October 1917, the events of the First World War and the Civil War, devastation of the national economy, unemployment, the mass spread of social diseases and other social upheavals, caused serious concern to the Government of the country. A number of legislative acts are adopted that create a legal and organizational basis for combating the social evil of homelessness (creation of children’s militia, children’s social inspections, commissions on juvenile affairs, labor communes and camps, orphanages, remand houses, as well as the emergence of public organizations). A separate area of the authorities’ work in this direction is massive organization of child care and foster care institutions throughout the country; in a number of national regions, including the Chuvash ASSR, the number of orphanages and children’s towns partially solved the problem of homelessness growth, but did not eliminate it.

The conducted research reveals the contribution of Zavolzhsky House № 2 under the Ministry of Education of the Chuvash ASSR in solving the problems of combating, preventing and eliminating the social evil of homelessness in the Chuvash Region. Timely measures for organizing the life of orphans and semi-orphans made it possible to consider the Chuvash ASSR a region that successfully coped with the state task of eliminating homelessness in the Soviet Russia.
The “Spiritual Hammer” (1656) as an Emblematic translation of “Imitatio Christi” by Thomas à Kempis
Authors: Bielak Alicja
Published: December 2021

The subject of this article is a Polish-language collection of emblems by Paweł Mirowski, the Spiritual Hammer, 1656. The work is in fact a paraphrase of Thomas à Kempis’s Imitatio Christi, which the author admits neither on the title page nor in the preface. In addition, the translation is supplemented with five to seven engravings (depending on the surviving copies) of an emblematic kind. The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, to juxtapose Mirowski’s translation with Kempis’s work in order to reveal his translation techniques and discuss the advisability of their use. Secondly, to analyse the purpose of using emblematics in the Imitatio Christi and to point to two hitherto unknown copper engravings preserved in a unique copy of the Seminary Library in Warsaw.
Determination of Digestive Enzyme Activity in Gilt-Head sea bream (Sparus aurata ) Feeding with Commercial Feed
Authors: ÖZCAN Filiz
Published: December 2021

With the increase in the world population, aquaculture has a very important place in meeting the protein needs of humanity. Today, fish farming is developing rapidly depending on the increase in demand. Fish is one of the most important foodstuffs for human nutrition. Studies on the quality and characteristics of the feeds used gain importance with the increase in the knowledge about the nutrient sources of fish. It is known that there is a linear correlation between growth, productivity and feed efficiency in fish like another animal. At this point, the correct and effective use of feed, which is the most important input in production, is very important in terms of increasing the yield and product quality to be obtained from the product and reducing production costs. The identification of digestive enzyme activities is important in developing new feeding regimens and in ensuring optimal growing conditions. As most enzymes regulate the events of viability, the increase or decrease in their activity causes the degradation of the normal functions of fish and diseases in fishes. In this study, body weight and changes in digestive enzyme activity were investigated in sea bream feeding with commercial feed. For this purpose, a total of 3000 juveniles with an initial mean weight (IW) of 2.72±0.78 g were divided into 4 tanks (2000 L). After the six weeks final weight was 7.75 ± 0.67 at the end of experiment. While trypsin activity was increased until the end of the experiment, amylase activity was decreased. On the other hand, small decreases in lipase activity were observed throughout the experiment.

Authors: Khatkov K. Kh. , Mamsirov N. I. , Makarov A. A.
Published: December 2021

Crop rotation is a systematic solution to one of the main tasks of agricultural production: rational land management, taking into account their possible effective fertility, biological potential of cultivated plants and available external and internal resources (heat, climate, fertilizers, agricultural machinery and agrochemicals) in order to maintain the most economically efficient management, which is possible with consistently high yields, with consistent reproduction of soil fertility and protection of the external environment. And as a consequence, crop rotation in this case acts as the basis of modern zonal adaptive landscape farming systems. It defines most other systems: soil cultivation and protection from erosion processes, fertilization and plant protection systems, seed production and variety change, irrigation and drainage of lands, technical systems, labor organization, etc. crop rotation «soybean-winter wheat» on merged leached chernozems and its effect on soil properties in the southern foothill zone of the Western Ciscaucasia. As a result of the study, a comprehensive assessment of the productivity of the «soybean-winter wheat» link in the crop rotation has been carried out and its positive effect on agrophysical and agrochemical properties of merged chernozems determined. It has been established that in order to obtain high-quality soybean seeds of the Mentor variety with the corresponding qualities of «the winter wheat» predecessor in the foothill zone of Adygea, it is necessary to use early sevarian conditions at a seeding rate of 0,6 million pieces/ha and a row spacing of 15 and 30 cm. To acieve a high level of production profitability, winter wheat of the Alekseich variety should be placed according to the «soybeans» predecessor against the background of surface tillage (10–12 cm). At the same time, it is proposed to apply mineral fertilizers at a rate of 200 kg/ha in the form of sulfoammophos N20P20S8, with obligatory double spring feeding of 150 kg/ha with ammonium nitrate N51+N51.

Published: December 2021

Short vase life and post-harvest losses of cut flowers are major threat to floriculture industry. There are different preservative solutions that have been used to extend the post-harvest life of cut flowers. Hence, this study was executed at Floriculture laboratory of Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad during 2018-2020 to explore the efficacy of different preservative solutions on vase life and post-harvest quality of cut roses. There were 6 treatments viz, (T1= Distilled water, T2= Silver nitrate @ 100 ppm, T3= 8-Hydroxyquiroline citrate @ 100 ppm, T4= Sodium thiosulphate @100 ppm, T5= Sodium benzoate @100 ppm, T6= Sucrose @ 40 g/L) and two rose cultivars Kardinal and Gold medal. The experiment was arranged according to complete randomized design (CRD). Results designated that longest vase life (15 days), maximum soluble solid contents (9.3 Brix) and longest opening period (7.4 days) were acquired with silver nitrate @100 ppm solution while maximum flower size (6.77 cm2) and largest head diameter (8.6 cm) were achieved with sodium thiosulphate when applied at the rate of 100 ppm in cultivar Kardinal. All other chemical solutions also displayed positive effects. Keeping in view the remarkable impact of Silver nitrate on vase life and quality of cut roses, it is recommended for commercial growers and cut flower industry for preservation of cut roses for longer time.
The Importance of Continuity of Care Women with Obstetric Trauma
Authors: Laktionkinaitė Ugnė , Stoukuvienė Žaneta , Liutikienė Rasa
Published: December 2021

Around 50% of women who give birth naturally have trauma to the birthing tract requiring soft tissue suturing. In Lithuania, women spend an average of 2-3 days in hospital after an uncomplicated natural delivery, which is not always enough time to acquire the skills to take care of the new-born as well as to care for the delivery wound. Continuity of care after the return of the mother from hospital is particularly important to avoid complications in the postnatal period such as fever, wound infections, resolution of wound edges, incontinence of gases or faeces, formation of fistulae, painful sexual intercourse, and delay of future family planning.

Aim of the study: to assess the importance of continuity of care for women with obstetric trauma.

Methods: A quantitative study, an anonymous survey of women who have given birth naturally in the last two years and who have experienced various soft tissue injuries of the birthing tract between November 2020 and January 2021, following an analysis of the scientific literature, was conducted.The survey data were analysed using Microsoft Office Excel 2016 data processing software. The study was carried out in accordance with ethical principles.

Results: 110 women participated in the study. Most of the respondents were first-time mothers with grade I-II perineal or vaginal tears. More than half of the women highlighted the lack of information from professionals about home care of the birth canal, postnatal sexuality, and family planning.

Conclusions: Women with natural childbirth who have suffered soft tissue injuries to the birthing tract experience pain in the wound area in the postnatal period, which limits movement when walking, sitting, getting up from a lying position, and feel anxiety and fear of soft tissue injury when defecating. Mothers are not sufficiently informed about home care of the obstetric wound and would prefer follow-up care in primary care.

Percepciones sobre el uso del patrimonio en la enseñanza de la Educación Artística. Un estudio con futuros profesores de Educación Primaria
Authors: Fontal Olaia , Martínez-Rodríguez Marta , Ballesteros-Colino Tania , Cepeda Jesús
Published: December 2021

La Educación Patrimonial es un elemento clave en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje a lo largo de la etapa de Educación Primaria, y así se refleja en el currículo escolar a través de numerosas referencias sobre el uso y presencia del patrimonio en áreas como la Educación Artística, entre otras. Pero para garantizar la presencia en las aulas de la Educación Patrimonial es necesario que los docentes se sientan competentes y familiarizados con ella, ya que son los responsables últimos de trasladar la normativa a la escuela. Por lo tanto, esta investigación pretende analizar las percepciones que tienen los futuros profesores de Educación Primaria acerca de la formación que han recibido sobre Educación Patrimonial y de las potencialidades de uso del patrimonio en la enseñanza de la Educación Artística en dos universidades españolas, la Universidad de Valladolid y la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Para la realización de este estudio cuantitativo, se diseñó un cuestionario con el modelo de escala de Likert y se implementó a través de la herramienta Google Forms. Los datos obtenidos revelan que la mayoría de los futuros docentes consideran que la Educación Patrimonial contribuye a desarrollar procesos de creación artística, pero solo un 37% de los 142 docentes en formación encuestados indica que ha recibido formación en Educación Patrimonial dentro de las asignaturas del área de Educación Artística. Este hecho debería ser tenido en cuenta para transformar nuestras prácticas educativas, así como en procesos de revisión y reforma de los planes de estudio universitarios.
PENGARUH PIJAT OKSITOSIN DAN AROMATERAPHY LAVENDER TERHADAP PENINGKATAN PRODUKSI ASI PADA IBU POST PARTUM DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS BATUR I KABUPATEN BANJARNEGARA
Authors: Tono Sendy Firza Novilia
Published: December 2021

Latar belakang. Air Susu Ibu (ASI) adalah nutrisi bagi bayi yang penting terlebih di bulan pertama kehidupan ASI merupakan sumber gizi yang ideal dengan kandungannya yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pertumbuhan bayi baik secara kualitas maupun kuantitas. ASI juga merupakan makanan tunggal yang cukup memenuhi kebutuhan tumbuh kembang bayi normal sampai usia empat sampai enam bulan. Di Indonesia ASI eksklusif masih sangat memprihatinkan dan masih perlu banyak mendapat perhatian dari semua pihak. Masalah ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa masalah seperti berkurangnya rangsangan  hormone oksitosin. Teori mengatakan kondisi psikologis ibu sangat mempengaruhi produktifitas ASI, Karena itu adanya persiapan persalinan hingga melahirkan merupakan faktor penting yang dapat mempengaruhi keberhasilan menyusui, stress, rasa khawatir yang berlebihan kesedihan sangat berperan dalam keberhasilan menyusui sehingga dengan metode pijat oksitosin  dan aromatherapy lavender merupakan salah satu bentuk terapi komplementer untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI pada ibu post partum. Tujuan Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui adakah pengaruh pijat oksitosin dan aromatherapy Lavender untuk peningkatan prmoduksi ASI pada ibu post partum. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Jenis penelitian Quasi Eksperimen dengan desain penelitan pre dan post test desain. Hasil penelitian diperoleh nilai p value 0,109 dimana nilai p value > nilai α (0.05) yang berarti bahwa tidak ada pengaruh pemberian pijat oksitosin dengan aromatherapy lavender pada ibu postpartum 4 hari. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini bahwa  pijat oksitosin dan aromatherapy lavender untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI tidak ada pengaruh dari hasil uji Wilcoxon tersebut, dikarenakan keterbatasan durasi waktu penelitian terlalu cepat.
Rethinking Ecological Subalterns in Tanure Ojaide’s The Activist
Authors: Chukwulobe Innocent Chimezie , Zainal Zainor Izat , Singh Hardev Kaur Jujar , Awang Mohammad Ewan
Published: December 2021

This study explores the concept of subaltern and how its meaning has evolved over the years within the broader scope of postcolonial theory. The study shall trace the concept of subaltern from its anthropocentric meaning in Antonio Gramsci’s writings to Ranajit Guha and Gayatri Spivak’s ideological perspectives. We shall also trace its inroad into the ecocritical study in the works of Michael Egan and Sergio Ruiz Cayuela while maintaining its anthropocentric leaning. The study shall further attempt a redefinition of the subaltern concept to accommodate non-humans in the class of the subordinated social group. Bearing in mind the anthropocentric leaning of the concept of the subaltern, which excludes non-human members of the ecology, we shall redefine the term from its previous usage in environmental literary studies and expand it to include non-humans as a subordinated group. The study shall analyse the relationship between humans and non-humans to determine if non-humans are treated as subordinates or worse than subordinated humans. The study shall draw instances from Tanure Ojaide’s The Activist (2006) to justify the classification of non-humans as the ultimate ecological subalterns of the Niger Delta Environment. We shall consider human relationships with non-humans (land, air, water, animals, vegetation, sea lives) to determine their status as subalterns. The crux of the study is basically to expand the scope of the subaltern theory by analysing the environmental despoliation prevalent in the oil-rich Niger Delta environments of Nigeria.
Halal Tourism to Promote Community’s Economic Growth: A Model for Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Yusuf Muhammad Yasir , Djakfar Inayatillah , Isnaliana  , Maulana Hafiizh
Published: December 2021

This study designs a halal economic model of tourism within the framework of Islamic sharia enforcement in Aceh to boost economic growth within community. This study used an expert system approach, which collects key data and information in the formulation of model design through interviews, questionnaires, direct observation, and synthesis of data in the field. A conceptual model of the development system included planning, analysis, design, verification, and validation; each was used to analyze the data. The present study suggests that the proposed formulation of the halal tourism model in Aceh must consider three key factors. First, the key principle of the halal tourism model industry is designed based on Islamic principles, the national legal foundations, and the local regulations. Second, the halal tourism industry is expected to address two important issues: halal certification in hospitality and gastronomy services and empowerment in amenity, human resources, and events. Third, it is also hoped that halal tourism management can focus on the object, marketing, industrial, and institutional developments. These three factors must be fully support by government policy and the Islamic finance industry. The present study is expected to provide essential, inclusive, and wide-ranging aspects for developing the halal tourism industry and encouraging community economic growth. This study also provides insights into how an inclusive conceptual framework can boost the halal tourism industry without defying its basic principles.
Schoolscaping in the third space
Authors: Wedin Åsa
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to trace students’ multilingualism and agency in the schoolscape of the Language Introduction Programme (LIP) in one Swedish upper secondary school. Through linguistic schoolscaping, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of LIP. The schoolscape is analysed as reconstructions of photographs of displayed images, objects, symbols, and written language on walls and elsewhere in the school area. The photographs are analysed in terms of how they orient to time, place, and space; control behaviour; and shape discourses. Through the analysis, discourses of an organized, inclusive, and tolerant society appear, that simultaneously shape a discourse of behaviour: in this school (and in Sweden) we (want to) follow (the) rules. Students’ multilingualism is nearly absent in the schoolscape, as is their agency. In line with Bhabha’s concept third space, the schoolscape may be understood as a space for Swedishness, where inclusion demands mastery of Swedish. The in-betweenness of the LIP, as a transitional programme, appears as a space to escape otherness by changing language, which is the requirement for inclusion. Thus, in this case, the signage displayed in the schoolscape does not open up spaces for identity development related to multilingualism or multiculturalism. Opening space for students as agents in the schoolscape and making their diverse linguistic resources visible would also open up a third space for negotiation of norms, through contestation, resistance, and manifestation. Thus students’ development of multiple identities would be enabled and their opportunities to be (co-)creators of their own futures widened.
Clinical data management A Review of Current Practice in Australia
Authors: Houston Lauren , Probst Yasmine
Published: December 2021

The practice of clinical data management (CDM) in Australia has seen and continues to experience tremendous growth. As such, this article reviews the current practice of CDM in Australia. The article addresses the history of the profession and provides insight into the difference between the sectors, the evolving role, ongoing requirements for training and education, and an overview of the regulations and how these impact the Australian CDM landscape. Current practice of CDM in Australia differs considerably between industry, academic, and non-profit sectors though the uniform regulatory requirements are provided nationwide. This has raised challenges for mostly academic, non-profit, and small-scale trials which are more likely to lack access to resources, facilities, management, and funding. Australian clinical data managers are required to have formal skills related to data, technology, security, and project management, though they are also expected to operate at the highest levels of excellence across all areas of their diverse roles. It is only in recent years that CDM has evolved to a stronger focus on data quality. Regardless of these challenges, clinical data managers have played, and continue to play, a key role in Australian biomedical research. They have provided guidance on data collection, processing, and management procedures to ensure that studies achieve high quality outcomes. However, more research is needed to develop specific CDM training courses to help Australian clinical data managers to meet a standard of knowledge, education, and experience to be officially recognised as a profession.

Authors: Padma Devarapalli Venkata , Sastry Susarla Venkata Ananta Rama
Published: December 2021

The effectiveness and efficacy of Mallet Flower Leaf Powder (MFLP) as a bio-sorbent for the removal of heavy metal copper ions from the aqueous solutions have been studied. Experiments were conducted varying the pH, agitation time, temperature, biosorbent size and dosage as parameters. Speed of the mixing is kept at 200 rpm. The analysis of copper was done by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The adsorption of copper was found to be dependent on pH and a maximum removal of 98.78 % was obtained at an optimum pH of 6.0. The optimum biosorbent dosage was 1 g for an agitation time of 40 min. The biosorption data obtained were validated for the best isotherm. The data collected were verified with the available adsorption isotherms. Experimental data obtained was well represented by Langmuir (RL = 0.161, qm = 5.96 mg/g, R2 = 0.9142), Freundlich (n = 0.64, Kf  = 0.79L/g, R2 = 0.9995) and Tempkin (R2 = 0.9083, bT = 267.63) isotherms, indicating favorable biosorption. The experimental data obtained were tested for the best fit and the Freundlich Model has yielded the best correlation with the highest regression coefficient, R2 = 0.9844. Kinetic data has also been presented using thermodynamic analysis and the pseudo second order model was found to be the best fit with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. For the removal of copper from the solution, bioadsorbent showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 5.96 mg/g.

Authors: Wongnen Chantira , Kabploy Krittika , Summpunn Pijug , Suksathits Suchat
Published: December 2021

This study aims to investigate the chemical composition, fermentation characteristics, and in vitro ruminal digestibility efficiency of Sunn hemp silage with Fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLAB) and bacillus subtilis. The experiment was designed in a CRD. Five dietary treatments were fresh Sunn hemp (FS, the positive control), Sunn hemp silage (SS, the negative control), Sunn hemp silage with B. subtilis (SSB), Sunn hemp silage with FJLAB (SSL), and SSB plus FJLAB (SSBL). The results showed the OM content of Sunn hemp silage was decreased (p < 0.05), but fiber contents (NDF, ADF, cellulose, and hemicellulose) were increased when compared with fresh Sunn hemp. However, SSL and SSBL could improve nutrition values (higher CP Reduction efficiency; p < 0.01, decrease cellulose; p < 0.01, and hemicellulose content; p < 0.10) and quality grading of Sunn hemp silage when compare with the negative control which did not affect to CP and EE values. Furthermore, FJLAB reduced fiber content and increase CP content of Sunn hemp silage, whereas B. subtilis presented the opposite results. However, the combination of FJLAB and B. subtilis showed the best treatment of Sunn hemp silage of this experiment (the highest CP and EE Reduction efficiency, ruminal gas production, and organic matter degradability; OMD).

HIGHLIGHTS

Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, a toxin associated with disease in ruminants, found in Sunn hemp is completely destroyed by anaerobic microorganisms of silage

The fermentation process of silage was improved by increasing lactic acid production and decreasing pH value to inhibit the growth of undesirable microbes

Combination of fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLAB) and Bacillus subtilis, lactic acid producer, for Sunn hemp silage treatment yielded the highest lactic acid production and nutritive values

Considering profitability in pasture-based systems, investigating parameters affecting crop coefficients for irrigation management becomes important. In this experiment, we determined the crop coefficient of ‘Marandu’ palisadegrass based on accumulated degree-days and estimated plant water consumption under single (‘Marandu’ alisadegrass) and mixed (‘Marandu’ palisadegrass + black oats + Italian ryegrass) cropping regimes. The research was conducted at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, between 2016 and 2017. Evapotranspiration was assessed using weighing lysimeters while crop evapotranspiration was calculated using mean weight variation. Reference evapotranspiration and degree-days were estimated. Data were obtained from an automated weather station. Equations and regression models relating crop coefficient with accumulated degree-days were generated for two seasons (spring/summer and autumn/winter) and evaluated for two year-cycles, from 2015 to 2018. The results showed better prediction accuracy for the single cropping system in spring/summer 2017–18.
Highlights

The model for determinating crop coefficient (Kc) by accumulated degree-days showed efficient for use in determination local.
The use of the degree days for determination Kc is more vantage because only necessary to measure the air temperature (maximum and minimum).
The equations for determining crop coefficient by accumulated degree days for the spring/summer season in Marandu palisade grass cultive show more precision that in mixture forage system.

Vegetable intercropping has advantages over single cultivation in terms of less environmental impact. However, to convince farmers to adopt this production system, it is necessary to prove greater efficiency in the production of more food per unit area and therefore an increase in productivity. An experiment was carried out aiming to evaluate the effect of the chicory transplant time in intercrops with collard greens on crop yields and land use efficiency index (LUE). The experimental design was a randomized block, with nine treatments in a 2 × 4 + 1 factorial scheme, and four replications. Crop systems (intercrop and monoculture) and chicory transplant time (0, 14, 28 and 42 days after transplant (DAT) of collard greens) were evaluated. The collard greens yield increased as the chicory transplant time was delayed. The total and per harvest yields of chicory were not influenced by its transplant time. Regardless of chicory transplant time, collard greens and chicory intercropping provided greater LUE than their monocultures and reached the maximum value (52% higher) when the chicory was transplanted 42 days after collard greens.
Highlights:

The collard green yield increased by 11 kg ha-1 for each day of delay in the chicory transplant (0 to 42 days).

The total and per harvest chicory yields were not influenced by its transplant time in relation to collard green transplant.
The collard green and chicory intercropping provided 52% higher land use efficiency than their monocultures when the chicory was transplanted 42 days after collard green.

This study evaluated the influence of rearing system (cultured vs. wild rearing systems), and fish sex on carcass and flesh traits of A. rivulatus, raised in Ecuador. Three hundred mature specimens from A. rivulatus were captured, 150 from each origin. Slaughter yield and dress-out resulted similar for both rearing system, and average fillet yield for cultured fish was significantly higher than for wild fish, while cooking loss was significantly lower. Dress-out was significantly higher in females. Significant differences were found in wet percentage, ash, fat and protein content in both rearing systems, but only wet percentage was significantly affected by sex. Palmitic, oleic and arachidonic acids had the maximum percentage of saturated (SFA) and mono/poly unsaturated (MUFA/ PUFA) fatty acids, respectively. In cultured and wild fish, differentiations were also found in PUFA/SFA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)/eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), atherogenicity (IA), and thrombogenicity (IT) indices, along with P, K, Mg, Cu and Fe. Sex and rearing system significantly influenced most of the analyzed characteristics of carcass and flesh of A. rivulatus. Fillet high yield and its proximate composition categorize A. rivulatus as a suitable food. These results provide valuable nutritional information about native species for consumers in Ecuador.
Highlights:

The rearing system (cultured vs. wild rearing systems), and fish sex affect the carcass and flesh traits of A. rivulatus.
Fillet high yield and its proximate composition categorize A. rivulatus as a suitable food.
The proximate composition of fillet from cultured A. rivulatus is more adequate than those of wild A. rivulatus.
The cultured A. rivulatus contains higher n-3 and n-6 PUFA percentages and adequate n-3/n-6 ratio.

En el presente trabajo estimamos un indicador sintético de la actividad económica mensual de la ciudad de San Carlos de Bariloche para el período 2006-2020. A partir de la metodología de diferencias simétricas y un conjunto de series asociadas con el ciclo económico local, se obtiene un indicador que representa la actividad económica de la ciudad. Este refleja el efecto de eventos exógenos sobre la actividad económica local y permite estimar el impacto del COV ID-19. Este trabajo es el primer intento en la elaboración de un indicador para sintetizar la actividad económica de la ciudad y constituye un aporte a las estadísticas locales. Sin embargo, los problemas para disponer de los datos estadísticos oficiales –en concreto, los relevados por la Municipalidad de Bariloche– suponen una limitación significativa para la continua actualización del índice. No obstante, la carencia de la totalidad de datos oficiales se suple con técnicas estadísticas para proyectar el índice general (6 series) a partir de un índice parcial (3 series).

Published: December 2021

The study was conducted in Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan to assess the extent of use of chemical pesticides under commercial vegetable cultivation. The primary data were collected from 100 farm households across 18 villages from 2016 to 2019. Chemical insecticides were used by all farmers whereas biopesticides and botanical pesticides were used by <5% for insect pest control in vegetables. The average number of chemical pesticide sprays in a crop cycle was 14, 15, 15 and 13 in cauliflower, cabbage, tomato and pea crops respectively. Average quantity of chemical pesticides used was 4.23, 3.87, 5.16 and 3.47 kg active ingredient per hectare in cauliflower, cabbage, tomato and pea crops respectively. The study highlights the overuse and misuse of chemical pesticides in vegetable crops where the economic part is edible unlike cotton where the economic part is nonedible.The direct negative impact of chemical pesticides on health of farm workers is estimated in the paper.

A fauna edáfica está presente em diversos solos e representa uma grande diversidade de espécies, desempenhando atribuições fundamentais para o ambiente. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a diversidade da fauna edáfica em três áreas com diferentes coberturas vegetais, uma plantação de macaxeira (Manihot esculenta), uma área de pasto de capim (Megathyrsus maximus) e um fragmento de mata. Foram coletadas cinco amostras de solo em cada área, numa parcela de 1000 m², a amostragem foi feita com a utilização de um gabarito de 0,30 x 0,30 cm. A coleta ocorreu no mês de abril de 2021 e todo material coletado foi feito a triagem manualmente, e posteriormente, acondicionados em um recipiente com álcool a 70%. Foram coletados 103 animais edáficos, sendo 84 na serrapilheira e 13 no solo da mata, 4 no solo da plantação e 2 no solo do pasto. As classes Insecta e Arachnida foram as mais abundantes dentre os animais identificados, sobretudo as ordens Araneae, Hymenoptera e Isoptera. Dessa forma, mostra-se que a serrapilheira da mata foi a amostra mais abundante e que o solo da mata, do cultivo de macaxeira e capim teve pouca diversidade de fauna edáfica.

As águas subterrâneas apresentam-se como um recurso natural de extrema importância para o abastecimento humano, porém, devido às atividades antrópicas, os mananciais subterrâneos sofrem grandes riscos à contaminação. Deste modo, este estudo teve o objetivo de identificar e mapear a vulnerabilidade natural à contaminação das águas subterrâneas, bem como estimar a tendência da direção de fluxo do município de Jaguarão/RS utilizando o método GOD. Para isso foram utilizados dados de 90 poços cadastrados no CPRM/SIAGAS para o município de Jaguarão sendo aplicada a metodologia GOD proposta por Foster et al. (2006) para obtenção da vulnerabilidade em cada poço e testou-se dois métodos de interpolação para gerar o mapa de vulnerabilidade natural à contaminação das águas subterrâneas. Utilizou-se a superfície potenciométrica para determinação do sentido e direção de fluxo subterrâneo. Como resultados obtidos, o método da krigagem ordinária foi o que melhor se ajustou aos dados, gerando um mapa com as classes: insignificante, baixa e média vulnerabilidades à contaminação. A tendência de direção de fluxo demonstrou que o fluxo subterrâneo converge para áreas mais subsuperficiais.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are complex disorders that involve a patient's neurological development. They are characterized by changes in social interaction, language and motricity, as well as stereotypical and repetitive behaviors. Patients may also present hypersensitivity to loud noises and bright lights. To answer specific anamnesis for patients with ASD, also taking into account patients' information that don't fit in Kanner's classic description. The chosen method was the Descriptive Case Study model, established through filling a specific anamnesis directed at a patient with ASD. The Odontological Medical Record of the clinic at FAESA was the basis for the data collection. It was not possible to answer many of the questions in the anamnesis from the data available on the medical records. Most of the questions were answered through previous contact with the patient. Other questions could not be answered by any means. A specific anamnesis for ASD patients should be included during treatment at FAESA's clinics for Patients with Special Needs. Treatment of patients with autism is still a great challenge for dental surgeons, since it requires knowledge of the problem and specific, objective techniques to cause the least possible trauma.
