Authors: Tremolada Marta , Taverna Livia , Bonichini Sabrina , Pillon Marta , Biffi Alessandra
Published: July 2019

Early childhood is considered to be a period of rapid development, with the acquisition of abilities predicting future positive school competences. Motor, cognitive and social difficulties related to cancer therapies heavily impact the development of children with cancer. This study focused on two main aims: to assess the developmental pathways of preschool children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia one year post-treatment and to compare these abilities both with those of a control group of healthy peers and with Italian norms. Forty-four children and their families, recruited through the Haematology-Oncologic Clinic of the Department of Child and Woman Health (University of Padua), agreed to participate to this study. The children’s mean age was 4.52 years (SD = 0.94, range = 2.5-6 years), equally distributed by gender, all diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Matched healthy peers were recruited through paediatricians’ ambulatories. Each family was interviewed adopting the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales. Paired sample Wilcoxon tests revealed that children were reported to have significantly more developmental difficulties than their healthy peers. When compared with Italian norms they scored particularly low in verbal competence, social and coping skills. No significant association were found between treatment variables and developmental abilities. These findings suggest that the creation of specialized interventions both for parents and children may fill the possible delays in children’s development probably due to stress, lack of adequate stimulation or difficult adaptation.
Discrete Two Dimensional Fourier Transform in Polar Coordinates Part II: Numerical Computation and Approximation of the Continuous Transform
Authors: Yao Xueyang , Baddour Natalie
Published: July 2019

The theory of the continuous two-dimensional (2D) Fourier Transform in polar coordinates has been recently developed but no discrete counterpart exists to date. In the first part of this two-paper series, we proposed and evaluated the theory of the 2D discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) in polar coordinates. The theory of the actual manipulated quantities was shown, including the standard set of shift, modulation, multiplication, and convolution rules. In this second part of the series, we address the computational aspects of the 2D DFT in polar coordinates. Specifically, we demonstrate how the decomposition of the 2D DFT as a DFT, Discrete Hankel Transform (DHT) and inverse DFT sequence can be exploited for efficient code. We also demonstrate how the proposed 2D DFT can be used to approximate the continuous forward and inverse Fourier transform in polar coordinates in the same manner that the 1D DFT can be used to approximate its continuous counterpart.

Gut bacteria play a key role in insect fitness, but the changes in gut microbiome profile across developmental stages of holometabolous insects remains little explored. Understanding changes in the microbiome across life stages is an important step toward understanding the associated shifts in functional relationships and trade-offs. Here, we characterised the microbiome of larvae, pupae, and adults of the highly polyphagous fruit fly Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae) using next-generation sequencing. We sampled individuals from colonies that had been recently introduced to the laboratory environment from naturally infested fruits at generations one (‘G1’) and five (‘G5’). Alpha diversity increased across developmental stages at both G1 and G5, with maximum diversity in adults. Community composition changed across developmental stages and between generations. In G1, larval and pupal microbiomes were dominated by the genus Asaia whereas adult microbiomes were dominated by Enterobacter. In G5, larval and pupal microbiomes contained a high relative abundance of Asaia, but pupae also had a high relative abundance of Staphylococcus and Burkholderia, and there were no dominant patterns in adults. Our findings provide insights into the developmental stage-dependent microbiome associations of a polyphagous fly, and how host-symbiont interactions change at each life stage through the transition from nature to laboratory environments.

Indigenous forests cover 24% of New Zealand and provide valuable ecosystem services. However, a national map of forest types, that is, physiognomic types, which would benefit conservation management, does not currently exist at an appropriate level of detail. While traditional forest classification approaches from remote sensing data are based on spectral information alone, the joint use of space-based optical imagery and structural information from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and canopy metrics from air-borne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) facilitates more detailed and accurate classifications of forest structure. We present a support vector machine (SVM) classification using data from ESA’s Sentinel-1 and 2 missions, ALOS PALSAR, and airborne LiDAR to produce a regional map of physiognomic types of indigenous forest in New Zealand. A five-fold cross-validation of ground data showed that the highest classification accuracy of 80.9% is achieved for bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, and 12 from Sentinel-2, the ratio of bands VH and VV from Sentinel-1, HH from PALSAR, and mean canopy height and 97th percentile canopy height from LiDAR. The classification based on the optical bands alone was 73.1% accurate and the addition of structural metrics from SAR and LiDAR increased accuracy by 7.8%. The classification accuracy is sufficient for many management applications for indigenous forest in New Zealand, including biodiversity management, carbon inventory, pest control, ungulate management, and disease management. National application of the method will be possible in several years, once national LiDAR coverage is achieved, and a national canopy height model is available.

Published: July 2019

In this study, the effect of heat treatment was investigated to influence the occurrence of fracture during manufacturing process of Alloy B steel with boron contents as high as 130 ppm. As the content of boron increases, it affects the phase transformation temperature and texture. The development of {111} components in the γ-fiber is affected depending on the austenite fraction after phase transformation. The Alloy B steel indicated that the increase in the boron content increased the α to γ phase transformation temperature such that sufficient transformation did not occur in the normalizing condition. The cracks occurred at the point of the transition from elastic to plastic deformation in the ND direction during the rolling process, thereby resulting in failure. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the intermediate heat treatment condition in which γ-fiber does not fully develop, i.e., an imperfect normalization.

Published: July 2019

Background: Wound-related complications have become an inevitable problem for spinal surgeons. Negative pressure drainage is the main method to prevent postoperative hematoma and related complications, which is still controversial. This prospective, randomized, controlled study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of compression therapy in the treatment of complications after posterior decompression and internal fixation of the lumbar spine, with emphasis on pain, anemia and inflammation.
Methods: Sixty consecutive patients with an average age of 59 years (43–78 years) who were selected for posterior lumbar decompression and internal fixation were randomly assigned into two groups with an equal number of patients. The groups comprised patients on closed suction drain with compression therapy after surgery or those with closed suction drain alone. The drainage volume, visual analogue scale pain score for back pain, white blood cell and red blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein levels on the 1st, 3rd, and 10th days after the operation were compared between the two groups.
Results: The average follow-up was 6 months and ranged from 3 to 11 months. Drainage volume, the visual analogue scale score, and C-reactive protein levels on the 10th day after the operation were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group. The red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels on the 3rd and 10th days after the operation were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (all P<0.05). At the time of discharge, wounds in the two groups showed grade A healing, and there were no signs of late infection in the groups.
Conclusions: For postoperative posterior lumbar decompression and internal fixation, compression therapy relieves pain, alleviates anemia and the inflammatory response.

Published: July 2019

Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed 3 (MEG3) and related molecular mechanisms in osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Patients with OA and patients undergoing thigh amputation were involved in OA group and control group, respectively. Cartilage tissues of all patients were isolated and cultured. Based on different transfection, MEG3 cells were grouped into Blank, pcDNA3.1-NC, pcDNA3.1-MEG3, si-NC, si-MEG3, pcDNA3.1-NC + mimics NC, pcDNA3.1-MEG3 + mimics NC, pcDNA3.1-NC + miR-361-5p mimics and pcDNA3.1-MEG3 + miR-361-5p mimics group. The cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-NC and pcDNA3.1-MEG3, and then cultured with XAV939 was named as pcDNA3.1-NC +XAV939 group and pcDNA3.1-MEG3 + XAV939 group respectively. The RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of MEG3 and miR-361-5p. Moreover, Western blot, luciferase reporter assay, RIP, CCK-8 and flow cytometry analysis were performed to reveal the morphology, proliferation and apoptosis in cartilage cells. Finally, the histological analysis and immunostaining were performed on OA rat model.
Results: The expression of lncRNA MEG3 and miR-361-5p in OA was significantly decreased and increased respectively than that in normal. Meanwhile, MEG3 was competitive binding with miR-361-5p in OA chondrocytes. Moreover, the Western blot and CCK-8 assay showed that MEG3 might inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis via Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Finally, rat model analysis showed that MEG3 contributed to the cartilage matrix degradation.
Conclusion: MEG3 and miR-361-5p might down-regulated and up-regulated respectively in the chondrocytes of OA patients. Furthermore, MEG3 might inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis via miR-361-5p/Wnt/β-catenin axis in OA chondrocytes.

Published: July 2019

Background:
Phytyl residues are the common side chains of chlorophyll (Chl) and tocopherols. Geranylgeranyl reductase (GGR), which is encoded by CHL P gene, is responsible for phytyl biosynthesis. The light-harvesting like protein LIL3 was suggested to be required for stability of GGR and protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase in Arabidopsis.
Results:
In this study, we isolated a yellow-green leaf mutant, 637ys, in rice (Oryza sativa). The mutant accumulated majority of Chls with unsaturated geranylgeraniol side chains and displayed a yellow-green leaf phenotype through the whole growth period. The development of chloroplasts was suppressed, and the major agronomic traits, especially No. of productive panicles per plant and of spikelets per panicle, dramatically decreased in 637ys. Besides, the mutant exhibited to be sensitive to light intensity and deficiency of tocopherols without obvious alteration in tocotrienols in leaves and grains. Map-based cloning and complementation experiment demonstrated that a point mutation on OsLIL3 gene accounted for the mutant phenotype of 637ys. OsLIL3 is mainly expressed in green tissues and its encoded protein is targeted to the chloroplast. Furthermore, the 637ys 502ys (lil3 chl p) double mutant exclusively accumulated geranylgeranyl Chl and exhibited lethality at the three-leaf stage.
Conclusions:
Taken together, we succeeded to identify OsLIL3 gene through a map-based cloning approach. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that OsLIL3 is of extreme importance to the function of OsGGR, and that the complete replacement of phytyl side chain of chlorophyll by geranylgeranyl chain could be fatal to plant survival in rice.
Distinct molecular etiologies of male and female hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Natri Heini Maaret , Wilson Melissa A , Buetow Kenneth H
Published: July 2019

Sex-differences in cancer occurrence and mortality are evident across tumor types; men exhibit higher rates of incidence and often poorer responses to treatment. Targeted approaches to the treatment of tumors that account for these sex-differences require the characterization and understanding of the fundamental biological mechanisms that differentiate them. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with the incidence rapidly rising. HCC exhibits a male-bias in occurrence and mortality, but previous studies have failed to explore the sex-specific dysregulation of gene expression in HCC. Here, we characterize the sex-shared and sex-specific regulatory changes in HCC tumors in the TCGA LIHC cohort. By using a sex-specific differential expression analysis of tumor and tumor-adjacent samples, we uncovered etiologically relevant genes and pathways differentiating male and female HCC. While both sexes exhibited activation of pathways related to apoptosis and cell cycle, males and females differed in the activation of several signaling pathways, with females showing PPAR pathway enrichment while males showed PI3K, 305 PI3K/AKT, FGFR, EGFR, NGF, GF1R, Rap1, DAP12, and IL-2 signaling pathway enrichment. Using eQTL analyses, we discovered germline variants with differential effects on tumor gene expression between the sexes. 24.3% of the discovered eQTLs exhibit differential effects between the sexes, illustrating the substantial role of sex in modifying the effects of eQTLs in HCC. The genes that showed sex-specific dysregulation in tumors and those that harbored a sex-specific eQTL converge in clinically relevant pathways, suggesting that the molecular etiologies of male and female HCC are partially driven by differential genetic effects on gene expression. Overall, our results provide new insight into the role of inherited genetic regulation of transcription in modulating sex-differences in HCC etiology and provide a framework for future studies on sex-biased cancers.

Published: July 2019

Background
Current methods for retrospective review of medical records require both time- and cost-wise a substantial effort. Therefore, we wanted to find the best method (based on natural language processing (NLP)) to select cases out of the medical records for further investigation in search for a (potentially preventable) adverse event (AE) to the decrease this effort.
Methods
The basic dataset consisted of 2987 medical records of patients who died during their hospitalization. To gain insight into the signal to noise ratio of the various resources, several subsets of our basic dataset were tested. Thereafter, we tested the scalability. After the best subset was chosen, several NLP algorithms were tested to select the best performing algorithm for the detecting of AEs. In the last experiment we tested the performance of the computer algorithms to predict potentially preventable AEs. The results of the NLP were compared with the outcome of the original retrospective medical record review.
Results
The dataset which contained he last three letters of the medical record showed the biggest potential. The scalability experiment showed that more data leads to a better performance of the algorithm. The best performing algorithm in the third test was the one based on support vector machine (SVM), with a precision of 79%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95% and a specificity of 85%. The results of the preventability experiment showed that the performance of the algorithms was almost equal to the results of the AEs.
Conclusions
In this study, we have shown that the SVM algorithm generates the most accurate results for the selection of cases for further investigation in the search for a (potentially preventable) AE. The sensitivity of the algorithms was around 75%. However, the SVM algorithm selected fewer cases to be examined for AEs compared to the original method. Consequently, this would lead to a lower workload for the committee. At the same time, there are a substantial number of cases, with potentially preventable AEs, not detected by machine learning.

Background

Targeted client communication (TCC) using text messages can inform, motivate and remind pregnant and postpartum women of timely utilization of care. The mixed results of the effectiveness of TCC interventions points to the importance of theory based co-design with users. Our aim is to describe the planning, development, and evaluation of a theory based TCC intervention, tailored to pregnant and postpartum women, and automated from an electronic maternal and child health registry in Palestine.

Methods

We used the Health Belief Model to develop interview guides to explore women’s perceptions of antenatal care (ANC), with a focus on high-risk pregnancy conditions (anemia, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus, and fetal growth restriction) and timely ANC attendance, issues predefined by a national expert panel as being of high interest. We performed 18 in-depth interviews with women and eight with healthcare providers in public primary healthcare clinics in the West Bank and Gaza. Following the results from the Health Belief Model, we used concepts from the Model of Actionable Feedback, social nudging and Enhanced Active Choice to compose the TCC content to be sent via SMS. We assessed the acceptability and understandability of the draft text messages through unstructured interviews with local health promotion experts, healthcare providers, and pregnant women.

Results

We found low awareness of the importance of timeliness in attending ANC and the benefits of ANC for pregnancy outcomes. We identified knowledge gaps and beliefs in the domains of low awareness of susceptibility to, and severity of, such complications in pregnancy. We composed actionable text messages following recommended message framing models and iteratively improved the contents with users to bridge the identified gaps. We developed algorithms to trigger tailored text messages with higher intensity for women with a higher risk profile.

Conclusions:
We developed an optimized text message based TCC intervention underpinned by behavior change theories and co-designed with users following an iterative process. The effectiveness of the TCC intervention is assessed in a cluster-randomized trial (ISRCTN10520687).

A amamentaÃ§Ã£o exclusiva Ã© a melhor forma de alimentar e contribuir para o crescimento e bom desenvolvimento da crianÃ§a. Ã‰ um ato de carinho e vinculaÃ§Ã£o afetiva entre uma mÃ£e e seu filho. Esse ato Ã© de extrema importÃ¢ncia, principalmente atÃ© o sexto mÃªs, para promoÃ§Ã£o e proteÃ§Ã£o da saÃºde do bebÃª. AlÃ©m disso, amamentar traz inÃºmeros benefÃ­cios tambÃ©m para a mÃ£e, proporcionando bem estar e bom humor. Visando isso, este estudo objetivou identificar os motivos que levam as mÃ£es a nÃ£o amamentar seus filhos exclusivamente no peito atÃ© os 6 meses de idade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem quantitativa, realizada em ManhuaÃ§u, Minas Gerais, com quinze mÃ£es moradoras do Bairro Santana na faixa etÃ¡ria de 18 a 35 anos. As anÃ¡lises estatÃ­sticas revelaram que os fatores que influenciaram a nÃ£o amamentaÃ§Ã£o exclusiva foram: substituiÃ§Ã£o do leite materno por outro alimento e necessidade da mÃ£e de trabalhar fora e, por conta disso, interromper o aleitamento materno exclusivo. Outro fator que contribuiu para a nÃ£o amamentaÃ§Ã£o exclusiva foi a influÃªncia de familiares ou pessoas prÃ³ximas como sogra, mÃ£e e avÃ³, em oferecer outros alimentos ao bebÃª antes dos seis meses de vida.

AtravÃ©s da anÃ¡lise de textos de vÃ¡rios autores, objetiva-se chegar a uma constataÃ§Ã£o de que nÃ£o apenas aspectos relacionados Ã  sintaxe influenciam na localizaÃ§Ã£o e identificaÃ§Ã£o do sujeito, como tambÃ©m fatores relacionados aos modos de enunciaÃ§Ã£o desempenham um papel considerado fundamental. Conclui-se que Ã© de extrema importÃ¢ncia o poder da enunciaÃ§Ã£o no trabalho de investigaÃ§Ã£o linguÃ­stica, tendo em vista que ela amplia as possibilidades do estabelecimento de uma gramÃ¡tica realmente diferenciada â€“ que considere aspectos exteriores como constitutivos dos fatos gramaticais, pois a grande questÃ£o para a LinguÃ­stica Ã© onde colocar a exterioridade.

Este estudo abordou a importÃ¢ncia do planejamento estratÃ©gico e os efeitos negativos causados pela sua ausÃªncia no desenvolvimento da cidade de ManhuaÃ§u (MG). As falhas gerenciais perduraram por dÃ©cadas e a cidade, que Ã© um polo regional, se vÃª diante de diversos problemas de mobilidade que afetam a vida de moradores e visitantes. Soma-se ainda o exponencial aumento da frota de veÃ­culos que nÃ£o foi acompanhado pelo desenvolvimento das vias pÃºblicas. Diante desse contexto, foi analisada a opiniÃ£o pÃºblica sobre os transtornos enfrentados pelas ruas da cidade, bem como buscou-se uma resposta da gestÃ£o local. Para a pesquisa, foram utilizados mÃ©todos quantitativos e qualitativos, como survey e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados mostraram o pessimismo da populaÃ§Ã£o diante do atual cenÃ¡rio, suas principais queixas, alÃ©m de mostrar a relaÃ§Ã£o conflituosa entre a gestÃ£o municipal e o Ã³rgÃ£o federal que administra a rodovia que atravessa a cidade. O crescimento desordenado reflete nÃ£o somente em problemas estruturais, como tambÃ©m sociais. O artigo expÃµe a necessidade de um planejamento estratÃ©gico adequado que sustente o desenvolvimento de ManhuaÃ§u e dÃª continuidade ao importante papel da cidade para a regiÃ£o.

O estudo da variabilidade espacial dos atributos quÃ­micos dos solos Ã© particularmente de grande importÃ¢ncia em Ã¡reas onde o solo estÃ¡ sob plantio direto. Sendo assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a variabilidade espacial de trÃªs atributos quÃ­micos de um Latossolo Amarelo Distrocoeso, sob sistema de plantio direto. O trabalho foi realizado em campo experimental da Universidade Federal do RecÃ´ncavo da Bahia, localizado no municÃ­pio de Cruz das Almas â€“ BA, o esquema de amostragem utilizado foi um â€œgridâ€ formado pela interseÃ§Ã£o de 50 pontos, espaÃ§ados em intervalos regulares de 2 m, em cada ponto foram coletadas amostras deformadas, utilizadas para avaliar os seguintes atributos: pH em Ã¡gua (acidez efetiva), CTCefetiva e matÃ©ria orgÃ¢nica do solo. Os atributos quÃ­micos do solo foram avaliados por meio da estatÃ­stica descritiva e de tÃ©cnicas geoestatÃ­sticas. A acidez ativa do solo (pH em Ã¡gua) apresentou distribuiÃ§Ã£o normal e o coeficiente de variaÃ§Ã£o foi classificados como baixo. O modelo gaussiano foi o modelo que melhor ajustou-se Ã  acidez ativa do solo. A CTCefetiva apresentou distribuiÃ§Ã£o normal, o coeficiente de variaÃ§Ã£o foi baixo e ajustou-se melhor ao modelo gaussiano apresentando forte grau de dependÃªncia espacial. A M.O.S. apresentou distribuiÃ§Ã£o normal, o CV foi classificado como baixo e apresentou efeito pepita puro.
UMA ANÃLISE DO USO DO ARTIGO DEFINIDO SOB O PONTO DE VISTA FORMAL E FUNCIONAL
Authors: Mendes AndrÃ©ia Almeida
Published: July 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o uso do artigo definido tendo por base as propostas formalista e funcionalista da lÃ­ngua. Para tanto, este estudo se pautou em analisar quatro trabalhos anteriores, dois de cada abordagem, sendo que a abordagem formalista se apoiou no estudo de Mary Kato (1974) e Mendes (2000) e a abordagem funcionalista se pautou no estudo de MoisÃ©s (1995) e Du Bois (1980); alÃ©m disso, considerou-se tambÃ©m as propostas de Almeida Mendes (2009; 2015), que tem por base a sociolinguÃ­stica variacionista. Percebeu-se que a abordagem funcionalista torna-se muito mais abrangente ao se analisar o fenÃ´meno, por enfocar a lÃ­ngua em uso, considerando a funÃ§Ã£o comunicativa da linguagem.

Authors: Buthers Christiane Miranda
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste artigo Ã© analisar itens lexicais nos quais aparece o sufixo â€“inho. Nessa anÃ¡lise, o foco recai sobre os possÃ­veis valores semÃ¢nticos que podem ser aferidos desse sufixo; e, adicionalmente, se os sentidos que dele sÃ£o depreendidos estabelecem correlaÃ§Ã£o com a base lexical no qual se conectam. Os dados investigados neste artigo sÃ£o selecionados de um corpus da cidade de ItaÃºna (MG). Obviamente, para a sua devida anÃ¡lise, foram considerados os contextos de produÃ§Ã£o, e nÃ£o o item isoladamente, que poderia nos apresentar um resultado equivocado. O resultado Ã© que, em geral, o sufixo â€“inho denota valor semÃ¢ntico de â€œafetividadeâ€, podendo conectar-se, gradativamente, a bases lexicais morfolÃ³gicas tambÃ©m distintas.

Dados sobre o consumo de Ã¡gua pelas culturas sÃ£o muito importantes para diversas tomadas de decisÃ£o no Ã¢mbito de agricultura irrigada. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma simulaÃ§Ã£o para conhecer o consumo de Ã¡gua do Panicum maximum cv. MombaÃ§a em funÃ§Ã£o da textura do solo e precipitaÃ§Ã£o pluvial no municÃ­pio de Linhares - ES, utilizando dados climÃ¡ticos histÃ³ricos da regiÃ£o. O estudo foi realizado por meio de simulaÃ§Ãµes utilizando o software agroeducacional Irriplus. Os dados meteorolÃ³gicos utilizados no trabalho sÃ£o provenientes da estaÃ§Ã£o meteorolÃ³gica automÃ¡tica de Linhares-ES. Utilizaram-se os dados horÃ¡rios que posteriormente foram convertidos a dados diÃ¡rios de janeiro de 2007 a dezembro de 2013, totalizando sete anos. AlÃ©m dos dados climÃ¡ticos da regiÃ£o, coletou-se informaÃ§Ãµes referentes a cultura, ao solo, a Ã¡gua e ao sistema de irrigaÃ§Ã£o, para realizaÃ§Ã£o da simulaÃ§Ã£o. O consumo de Ã¡gua do capim-MombaÃ§a estimado por meio da evapotranspiraÃ§Ã£o da cultura Ã© de 2,71; 2,81 e 2,83 mm dia-1 para o solo de textura arenosa, mÃ©dia e argilosa, respectivamente. A lÃ¢mina bruta requerida foi maior para o solo arenoso durante todo o perÃ­odo estudado devido sua baixa capacidade de aproveitamento dos eventos de precipitaÃ§Ã£o.

Published: July 2019

Understanding the effects of vegetation on soil moisture is vital to the ecosystem restoration in water-restricted areas. For this study, the effects of introduced revegetation and natural revegetation on soil water (0–1.8 m) were investigated in the Chinese Loess Plateau, which was based on an in situ vegetation removal experiment and two years of soil moisture monitoring. The results indicated that under introduced revegetation, pasture grassland had lower soil moisture but higher temporal variations over the growing season. Compared with abandoned farmlands and native grasslands under natural revegetation, pasture grasslands revealed greater negative effects on deep soil moisture (1–1.8 m), which was difficult to recover following soil desiccation. In contrast, for abandoned farmlands and native grasslands, the surface soil moisture (0–0.4 m) was mainly impacted, which was easily replenished through rainfall events. These outcomes implied that natural revegetation, rather than introduced revegetation, should be the first choice in water-limited regions toward the rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems.

Published: July 2019

El logotipo es un elemento de marca que favorece a la identificación de las empresas por parte de los consumidores. En este sentido, la presente investigación propone medir la percepción de la personalidad de marca de tres instituciones de educación superior en el municipio de Cajeme, al sur del estado de Sonora en México. Para ello se utiliza una metodología cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva-correlativa, mediante un diseño no experimental. La información se recopiló mediante un instrumento de medición basado en el modelo de personalidad de marca de Jennifer L. Aaker y como parte de los hallazgos, se identificaron ocho dimensiones de personalidad de marca (Competencia, Sinceridad, Entusiasmo, Sofisticación, Delicadeza, Rudeza, Regionalismo, Cooperación), de las cuales las dimensiones de Sinceridad y Delicadeza mostraron cierta asociación con el Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora, Sofisticación y Cooperación con la Universidad La Salle Noroeste, y Entusiasmo con el Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Cajeme. Finalmente se proyectó una posición ideal donde la dimensión de Competencia fue la mejor valorada. La utilidad del estudio radica en la posibilidad de mejorar la gestión de la personalidad de marca institucional, a efecto de lograr un reposicionamiento estratégico positivo.
Riesgo y poder en las organizaciones ganaderas en Colombia. Enfoque desde la historiografía económica, social y empresarial
Authors: Pertúz-Martínez Aylin Patricia , Elías-Caro Jorge Enrique
Published: July 2019

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo general identificar a las organizaciones ganaderas y actores sociales vinculados al sector ganadero colombiano en función del riesgo y las relaciones de poder, de acuerdo con lo registrado en la historiografía económica, social y empresarial. En lo metodológico, la investigación es de carácter cualitativo; el diseño de la investigación es documental; el método es deductivo – inductivo y analítico - sintético. Las fuentes son secundarias, correspondiendo a la historiografía que aborda los siglos XIX, XX y lo transcurrido del siglo XXI. Se concluye que las organizaciones ganaderas han sido conservadoras respecto al riesgo. La ganadería presenta riesgos del entorno y operativos. La historiografía clásica muestra a una actividad económica muy ligada al poder, demostrándose en distintas formas y fuentes, como la asociación actividad ganadera – política. Otros autores, desde lo económico y administrativo analizan al ganadero como empresario más que como terrateniente, expresión muy ligada al poder.
