A study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and attitude regarding Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) among adolescent girls in selected colleges of Mehsana district
Authors: Joshi Sweety , Patidar D D
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome was first described in 1935 by American gynecologists Irving F. Stein and Michael L. Leventhal as a syndrome manifested by amenorrhea, hirsutism and obesity associated with enlarged polycystic ovary, from whom its original name of Stein–Leventhal syndrome is taken. According to recent statistics one fifth of the world’s population is adolescents and in India one third of the population is between the ages of 10 and 24. Adolescence is a period of transition between childhood and adulthood, a time of profound biological, intellectual, psychological and economic changes. During this period individual reaches physical, sexual maturity and develop more sophisticated reasoning abilities. Research Approach: quantitative approach, Research Design: Pre-experimental one group pretest post test design, Participants: 100 adolescent girls aged 18-21 years selected by non probability convenience sampling technique. Intervantion: the structured teaching programme was administered over 40 minutes and post test carried out after 7th day. Tools: Structured knowledge questionnaire and Likert attitude scale. Result: mean score was 1.890 with SD 0.60126. The calculated “t” value CV = 4.662, TV = 1.990 (CV > TV) which was statistically significant at 0.05 level. It showed that, there was a significant difference between the pre and post test of knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among adolescent girls. So Ho1 hypothesis is rejected. Regarding attitude, post test, the mean score was 32.5400 with SD 3.92974. Here the calculated “t” value was CV = 1.425, TV = 1.990 (CV < TV) at 0.05 level. No significant difference between the pre and post test of attitude regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among adolescent girls. So Ho2 hypothesis is accepted. Same as chi square pre test knowledge with the age in years (1.349), marital status (1.662), types of family (1.984), area of residence (1.168), family history (0.702), first source of information (6.34) and age of menarche(2.796 ). It was statically less than table value of age in years, marital status, types of family, area of residence, family history (3.84), first source of information (9.49), and age of menarche (7.81). There is no association between demographic data with knowledge and attitude level. Conclusion: Statistical evidence proved that providing education through S.T.P is improve the knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among adolescent girls.
REASON, LANGUAGE, COMMUNICATI ON – SOME ASPECTS OF PRAGMATIC KNOWLEDGE
Authors: BOGATU Eugenia
Published: July 2023

Knowledge has a major role, both in the development of a person, but also of the whole society. Today's society is a society of knowledge. Knowledge cannot evolve separately from information. The quantity and quality of information largely depends on its processing by artificial intelligence. The involvement of knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence is not possible without critical thinking. A knowledge society is not perceived without the involvement of researchers. They are those who promote and develop scientific knowledge. This type of knowledge is found in all areas of activity of the society. Hence the social responsibility of the scientists in the scientific context of direct activity.

There is today among jurists or a widespread tendency to consider that the institutions of positive law, in their capacity as late creations of the modern state, can be considered, based on their ideal, formal, general, logical and rational, as independent realities, which can be studied in themselves, separated both by the living conditions of the society to which they apply, and by the manifestations of the popular spirit of the latter. However, modern legal norms are not established solely as a result of direct state action. Other sources are involved in their construction. Thus, at the base of the legal norms we discover the moral-practical doctrines, the jurisprudence, the tradition, but especially the customs. It is a series of primary sources through which the norms maintain their connection with the conditions and needs of social life, which, moreover, they norm. This finding leads us to say that legal institutions and norms are not the exclusive products of a well-determined state legislator, a logical, objective and general production of his imagination, will and especially reason, but the creation of an anonymous and continuous process of the whole cultural, the expression of a more or less long historical evolution of the human community on which it is reflected.

Combating the socialist theses that make work the ontological and analytical unit of human socio-cultural life, and starting from Menger's theoretical considerations that work is only one of the types of useful economic activity that can be carried out - by action or inaction - in the restricted or extended sphere of a socio-cultural groups, and which, regardless of their type, are always dependent on the stage, respectively on the way in which the members of this “relational” environment know and manage their natural, social and cultural conditions, we will argue below that the work of the devalmas villages is far from being, as is commonly believed, a closed and repetitive manifestation of traditional peasant life, it representing, even if only to a limited degree, a useful economic action carried out in direct dependence on the activity of discovery and entrepreneurial knowledge.
SEIN ALS ALLEGORIE. EIN KONTAKT ZWISCHEN PARMENIDES UND BADIOU
Authors: HRACHOVEC Herbert
Published: July 2023

The following considerations develop two basic assumptions. A sophisticated concept of allegory, laid out in the theological-exegetical tradition, may also serve as a contemprorary hermeneutical tool. This can, secondly, be exemplified by putting together Parmenides’ „Being“ with its interpretation according to Alain Badiou. The proposal is developed in five sections. (1) A (purposively selective) sketch recalls that allegories connect inhomogeneous dimensions of meaning across cognitive divides. The apparatus employed for this purpose is then employed to (2) examine the literal composition of Parmenides' central formula and to (3) indicate how it might be interpreted according to present day parlance. This exposition is followed by (4) an exploration of the counter-strategy Badiou develops vis à vis Parmenidean ontology and finally (5) by an indication of the allegorical function of Badiou's being.
WHY LABOUR AND WHAT KIND OF LABOUR? FROM MODERN TO SOME PRESENT PHILOSOPHICAL REMARKS
Authors: BAZAC Ana
Published: July 2023

In the beginning, the traditional model of labour is related to the traditional aim and ideal of a good life. The reason is to emphasise that philosophy has to solve the problem of the possibility to generalise the model of a creative and pleasant life. Therefore the goal of the paper is twofold. The first is to question the necessity of labour from the standpoint of the rebel thinking transfigured into the literature of laziness as an alternative to the ancient tradition of hard working. The other is to mention some present philosophical theories about cognitive labour. By asserting the fundamental changes in the regime of work opened up by the new industrial revolution which began more than thirty years ago, a mere conclusion would be that the present philosophy still has a big duty toward this crucial and obviously open problem.
DESPRE DUBLA DIMENSIUNE, TEORETICĂ ȘI PRACTICĂ, A FILOSOFIEI
Authors: NEACȘU Adriana
Published: July 2023

Although philosophy has bemm seen for a long time as a privileged field of the spirit, today it is considered useful only for the formation of the humanist general culture, which, given that society is mainly oriented towards the practical side, is no longer a priority. However, beyond the speculative dimension, philosophy also has a practical, applied side, derived from the first, which society is not aware of. Starting from these general premises, the article highlights some of the current functions of philosophy, able to configure its specific mission in contemporary society, without which this cannot find its balance. Finally, the author launches to the philosophical community and to all decision-makers in Romania a series of concrete proposals, the implementation of which would transform the philosophical education in our country into one of the most powerful tools for consolidating democracy and development economic and social.

Published: July 2023

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a member of the Brassicaceae family of root vegetables and both the roots and the leaves are consumed for their natural therapeutic value and health promoting effects owing to the presence of phytochemicals. Thus, the effect of three different solvents (Cold, hot and alcoholic) of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) extracts on germination and growth of radish was studied. A field experiment was carried out during October to December 2021 season with Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Alcoholic, hot water and cold water extraction at a concentration of 1 % showed a higher germination percentage compared to other concentrations, while Distilled water showed a major germination percentage 80% compared to other extractions. Regarding the chlorophyll content, alcoholic extraction at a concentration of 0.5 % showed higher Chlorophyll content of 19.5 compared to other treatments and even the control. The root length of radish for alcoholic extraction at a concentration of 1 % showed the highest root length. Alcoholic extraction at a concentration of 0.5 %, hot water extraction at a concentration of 3% and cold-water extraction at a concentration of 5% showed the highest stem diameter. Alcoholic extraction of lemon balm at concentration of 1 presented the biggest leaf diameter. This indicated that the Melissa officinalis extracts as a medicinal plant had different effects on radish germination and growth. Further research should evaluate radish development in different circumstances to see whether this strategy may boost the output of this vital crop.
Singular Unverifiability
Authors: Walker Gavin
Published: July 2023

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s Death of a Discipline powerfully linked the social-institutional conditions of literary reflection to the category of the geopolitical, in the hopes of a renewal of Comparative Literature, whose earlier aims at their best had been to shelter the international possibility of humanistic thought beyond the border. Yet, this discipline has often remained trapped by the only partial universality of its function, substituting for the world a microcosm of convivial European multilingualism and ambition of scope. Twenty years after its publication, Death of a Discipline notably upheld a space for the “singular unverifiability” that marks Comparative Literature at its best – not only the singularity of the written line, and the unverifiability of the reading of the literary text, but also the singular and the unverifiable as warnings against the positivist culturalism of the older area studies. In this sense, it must be taken as a profoundly affirmative text that still offers a vision of a genuine intellectual-institutional alternative: to open the theoretical humanities to the remote and fragile thinking of a genuine encounter with planetarity.
Place-Based Translingualism, Identity, and the Contemporary World Literary Space: Jhumpa Lahiri’s Turn to Italian
Authors: Lazzari Gabriele
Published: July 2023

This article discusses Jhumpa Lahiri’s recent turn to Italian through a formal and linguistic analysis of the creative and editorial projects she has undertaken in the last decade. By analyzing the author’s trajectory from In Other Words (2016) to Whereabouts (2021) and by discussing two short stories she has published in the interval between her linguistic autobiography and her first Italian novel, the article argues that Lahiri’s aesthetic and political concerns have transitioned from a utopian search for cosmopolitan encounters to a sharper attention to place-making and grounded relationality. Concurrently, her writing has moved from the pursuit of placeless abstraction to a more pronounced interest in site-specific forms of social bonding. The article further situates Lahiri’s translingual practice within paradigms of postcolonial, diasporic, and translingual writing, and discusses how her choice to forsake a dominant language for a semi-peripheral one requires a different critical approach that considers both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In fully embracing the precarious translational space between Italian and English, the article contends that Lahiri’s latest reinvention contributes to deprovincializing both the Italian and the Anglophone literary field, while offering new ways of articulating identity, cultural belonging, and community in comparative and world literature studies.
Toward Weaving/Reading Hemispheric Land and Literature
Authors: O’Coyne Laurel Sturgis
Published: July 2023

To what extent can the phenomena of métissage and mestizaje be read as intersecting threads of a multilingual, hemispheric American story? And what do their divergences and convergences contribute to a discourse of comparison? This paper argues that métissage and mestizaje relate nonequivalent theories of wovenness in their local contexts and in relation to transnational decolonial praxes. This paper reads a resignification of mestizaje in Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987) that both embraces hybridity and reinstates a linear, teleological—and settler colonial—theory of materialities. By contrast, the narration in Gisèle Pineau’s memorial novel L’Exil selon Julia (1996) invokes métissage as a body-place wovenness through her grandmother Julia’s Antillean Creole orality, locating a kincentric ecological literacy in her relations with her beloved jardin créole. This paper then weaves these two readings together with Leslie Marmon Silko’s novel Ceremony (1977)—which, although activated neither by métissage nor mestizaje, narrates a common theory of woven matter-energy relationality in the Pueblo language and cosmology that structure Silko’s English language text. Weaving/reading hemispheric land and literature proposes a critical turning toward place-based literariness, engages multispecies kinship ontologies, and ultimately orients comparison toward kinetic theories of wovenness and with a responsibility to narrative and material story-weavings of the hemisphere.
“In Uniform and at Moral Attention”: From F. Scott Fitzgerald to Philip Roth
Authors: Bloom James D.
Published: July 2023

Although F. Scott Fitzgerald and Philip Roth are not necessarily writers with an obvious thematic or biographical connection, this article argues that both authors were fixated on war and that a central clue to their respective oeuvres is the situation either of the reluctant combatant or the discharged soldier who never sees action on the battlefield—no matter whether the specific theater of combat is the Great War, World War II, or the Korean War. For Fitzgerald, much of the sympathy Nick Carraway feels for Jay Gatsby reflects their mutual experiences on the Western Front. In a similar vein, Sergeant Nathan Marx, the narrator of Roth’s most controversial story, “Defender of the Faith,” feels an innate regard for Private Sheldon Grossbart, the Jewish scammer and shirker whom Marx tries and fails to turn into a conscientious, patriotic soldier. In other cases, the noncombatant regret Fitzgerald expresses in stories such as “‘I Didn’t Get Over’” (1936)finds something of a parallel in Nathan Zuckerman, Roth’s most famous alter ego narrator who appears in nine novels across more than four decades. Surveying a range of Roth texts from his breakthrough 1959 novella “Goodbye, Columbus” to his late novel Indignation (2008), this article argues that corollaries in attitudes toward war, especially as it affects the American home front, can be traced within several Fitzgerald fictions.

Published: July 2023

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the main force for economic growth and job creation and one of the most important sectors of the economy in many countries. Like other countries, SMEs represent most businesses in the Republic of Moldova. The SMEs sector in the Republic of Moldova has grown in terms of quality and quantity over the last years. This trend may be the result of the new support programs in the field of entrepreneurship, launched by the Organization for Development of Entrepreneurship, but it may also be a result of a qualitative change of perception on the part of the business world regarding the business environment in the country. Starting from this reality, the primary aim of this research paper is to analyses the trends and challenges in SMEs development in order to provide recommendations for the SMEs' long-run development. In order to meet the aim of this research, an analysis of secondary data resources will be carried out, using scientific methods, in particular logical methods, such as comparative analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction. The research will include a macro analysis of SMEs from Republic of Moldova, based on official data from national and international bodies. The results of this research paper will make it possible to develop recommendations for improving the overall results of SMEs from the Republic of Moldova.

Published: July 2023

This research was carried out in Anyar Village, Buay Pemuka Bangsa Raja District, OKU Timur District. The location determination was carried out purposively with the consideration that in Anyar Village there are some farmers who carry out rubber farming by selling the auction and non-auction systems. The research was carried out in January 2023. The aim of the research was to find out the process of determining the price of rubber latex by the auction system and to find out the comparison of the monthly income of rubber farmers with the auction and non-auction systems in Anyar Village, Buay Pemuka Bangsa Raja District, OKU Timur Regency The method used in this research is survey method. Respondents taken as samples were farmers who did rubber farming with a population of 91 rubber farmers consisting of 60 rubber farmers with an auction system and 31 non-auction rubber farmers. The results showed that the auction process was carried out behind closed doors, the auctioneer first determined the lowest price (the price of the complainant at the time of research was Rp. 9,201), which was attended by representatives from the three CVs participating in the auction market, namely those from Palembang, Lampung and Kayu Agung. The lowest price usually refers to the previous auction price in a neighboring village. The auction is carried out by means of bids from bidders which are written down on paper then rolled up and handed over directly to the auctioneer during the auction. After all bids have been submitted, the auctioneer will open the scrolls one by one and the winner is the bidder with the highest price (the highest price obtained is IDR 9,531). If someone is still able to exceed the previous highest price, the auction winner can still move on to the next highest bidder. The average income of rubber farmers with an auction system is IDR 1,650,534/month/ha while nonauction is IDR 1,437,099/month/ha. Mathematically there is a real (significant) difference between the auction system and non-auction crab farming income. This can be seen from the t-count value of 35.06 with the t-table value of 1.99.

Authors: B.N. Jadhav  , G. Immanuel  , A. Chattree
Published: July 2023

This study focuses on the effect of factors like the nature of the food, the type, time, and temperature of contact on overall migration (OM) from packaging material to food. The OM from the biodegradable film in contact with food products such as tomato ketchup and guava Jelly were investigated for six months using simulant ‘B’ as per IS 9845:1988. Under the room temperature storage condition for six months, the selected food products were checked for quality and stability. The maximum OM during the migration study was 4.24 mg/dm2 for tomato ketchup and 3.48 mg/dm2 for guava jelly, both of which were within the standards-permitted limits. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) and pH gradually increased whereas ascorbic acid was reduced in tomato ketchup during storage. The total sugar of jelly increased during the storage study from 46.92 to 66.10 %. The findings revealed that the OM rate was well within the specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) while the quality parameters of TSS, pH, and total sugar were altered after and during the three months of storage study. So, using this biodegradable film, tomato ketchup and guava jelly can be packaged safely for up to three months.

Environmental pollution causes major health hazards. Especially the important air pollutants such as High Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2 ) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2 ) cause health problems. However such pollutants have significantly reduced during COVID-19 lockdown period due to closure of factories and reduction in transport. The present study attempts to analyze the variations in the air pollutants in the Southern States of India from 2013 to 2021. The data pertaining to the study period was collected from National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP). It attempts to compare the air quality standards of the Sothern States of India between pre- pandemic and post– pandemic period. The same has been compared with the air quality of India.The data relating to Tamil Nadu represents the data of the five major cities of Tamil Nadu Viz. Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Salem and Trichy. Between the pre – pandemic and post-pandemic period a significant reduction is observed in all the three types of pollutants in all the five major cities in Tamil Nadu.

About 40% population of India live in villages and depends on agriculture and forest. In the last 30 years there is tremendous migration from rural to urban areas for employment and livelihood. This is not only putting extreme pressure on urban bodies but is also causing social conflicts and unrest. Thus, providing employment and livelihood in rural area is getting prime attention of the Government. In this regard various schemes are developed and implemented and they are showing the positive results. The wasteland development and management are one of the most important dimensions in this regard. Initially common method employed by NWDS (National Waste Land Development Board) to recover wasteland was to adopt social forestry. The attention paid to convert wastelands in to social forests does not seems to have achieved the intended goal, for in course of time newer areas turn into waste lands. Subsequently various other elements are added to it. Earlier little technology was involved in implementing the wasteland development and management, however since a decade or so technology is driving such initiatives. It appears plausible that the improper implementation of technology and not the technology may be the cause for the failure of waste land development in certain area or projects. This paper discusses various aspects wasteland development and management initiatives in the country with emphasis on the wasteland development status in tiny, beautiful and silver jubilee (25thState of India) state of Goa.
Le lien affectif à l’élève et le travail invisible de care en éducation préscolaire et en enseignement primaire : entre désir et obligation
Authors: Bilodeau Karine , Giguère Emilie , Louise St-Arnaud
Published: July 2023

Cet article explore le lien affectif à l’élève en enseignement au préscolaire et au primaire. Il fusionne une théorie du travail vivant et une perspective féministe (la sociologie des rapports sociaux de sexe) afin de comprendre et conceptualiser une part invisible de travail sur lequel repose le lien affectif à l’élève : le travail de care. La méthodologie est basée sur une recherche qualitative incluant des entretiens individuels et de groupe. L’échantillon inclut 25 enseignantes du préscolaire et du primaire. D’une part, cette étude soulève des tensions alors que le lien affectif à l’élève est à la fois désiré et valorisé par les enseignantes, mais aussi obligatoire, inscrivant implicitement le travail de care à même la mission de l’école québécoise. D’autre part, cette étude conceptualise le care en tant que travail et permet d’inscrire le travail invisible de care à même des rapports sociaux de sexe en enseignement.

Массовые взрывы, проводимые на карьерах, сопровождаются образованием мощных пылегазовых облаков, которые загрязняют атмосферу карьера и обширные территории, прилегающие к ним. Пылегазовое облако распространяется на значительные расстояния от места взрыва. При этом выделяемые газы характеризуются высокой концентрацией вредных ядовитых веществ – оксидов углерода, серы, азота и др. В работе дан обзор современного состояния проблемы управления пылегазовым режимом и проведен анализ способов подавления пылегазовых выбросов при массовых взрывах на карьерах.

Las Casas de Justicia de Bogotá ante la migración venezolana
Authors: Alfonso-Camelo Heyder
Published: July 2023

Las Casas de Justicia de Bogotá son un ejemplo de la manera en que las instituciones del Estado responden a las necesidades jurídicas de las personas migrantes. Esta atención se ha limitado a conflictos de convivencia y requiere de ajustes institucionales para hacer frente a conflictividades estructurales que no han logrado ser resueltas, por cuanto se convierten en barreras de acceso a la hora de proteger los derechos de los migrantes. Como resultado de esto, la vulnerabilidad de esta población aumenta y afecta de manera desproporcionada a las personas provenientes de Venezuela, quienes vienen siendo víctimas de reclutamiento forzado, xenofobia, racismo y violencia intrafamiliar, entre otros.
Migraciones y desplazamientos

Published: July 2023

América Latina y el Caribe han tenido una relación profunda con los procesos de movilidad poblacional. Quizás la dinámica mejor documentada ha sido la emigración latinoamericana sur-norte hacia los Estados Unidos (ee. uu.) y Europa. Sin embargo, el aumento de las brechas de desigualdad y los cerramientos democráticos en diversos estados nacionales han incentivado los flujos migratorios masivos entre países de la geografía latinoamericana y del Caribe.

Es a partir de esta discusión que se plantea la temática del dossier de la revista Controversia, en su número 220, publicada por el Centro de Investigación y Educación Popular (Cinep) y el Instituto de Estudios Interculturales (iei) de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, en torno a la comprensión de las movilidades poblacionales internacionales y los desplazamientos forzados dentro de los mismos estados nacionales. Las siguientes preguntas guiaron la convocatoria del presente número: ¿Qué tipo de reflexiones etnográficas y sociológicas suscita la experiencia migratoria y de desplazamiento forzado en condiciones de vulnerabilidad?, ¿Qué herramientas jurídicas o conceptuales son necesarias de implementar para renovar un enfoque de los derechos humanos aplicado al contexto de las migraciones internas e internacionales?, ¿Cuáles efectos producen los fenómenos migratorios y de desplazamiento forzado interno en las políticas públicas y en el fortalecimiento de la democracia?
Assessing the diversity of the Sphaeropteris albo-setacea (Bedd.) Tryon (tree fern) in Great Nicobar Island

Andaman and Nicobar Islands have a typical tropical climate receiving rains both from Southwest and Northeast monsoons. The climate and position of the Islands have facilitated the evolution of diverse and unique ecosystems. Most of the floristic diversity relates to the native species of Malaysia, Myanmar and India. Since the region is isolated from mainland, migration of species is not feasible and any disturbance may lead to their becoming extinct. Great Nicobar is the southern most tip and is considered one of India’s most precious biodiversity zones. It has numerous streams making it the only Island in the group with plentiful fresh water, providing congenial conditions for the growth of unique species. The study aims to assess the biodiversity value and the environmental importance of an interesting endemic tree fern species: Sphaeropteris albo-setacea (Bedd.) Tryon (Cyathea albo-setaeca Bedd.) encountered during ground data collection in the evergreen forests of Great Nicobar biosphere reserve. In consideration with observations made and the analysis performed it can be inferred that the tree fern species has a distinct pattern of distribution and the analysis indicates the dominance ratio of Sphaeropteris albo-setacea at varied locations. The study also attempts to correlate the potential of the satellite remote sensing in exploration and habitat assessment of such ecologically important species.
SSR diversity and hybridization of wild apples (Malus spp.) growing in the Guadarrama and Ayllón mountain ranges (Central Spain)

Published: July 2023

Aim of study: The crab apple tree (Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.) is a wild crop relative of the apple tree (M. domestica Borkh.). Hybridization and genetic exchange between these species has been studied in some European regions, but there is no record in Spain. This work aimed to characterise a set of 330 feral and crab apples.
Area of study: Guadarrama and Ayllón mountain ranges (Central Spain).
Material and methods: We used 12 microsatellites to detect intermediate profiles. To do so, diversity, multivariate and population structure Bayesian analyses were performed on the sample, adding a total of 28 crab apples, feral and widespread apples varieties as references.
Main results: We found a large molecular diversity in this Malus germplasm, scoring a mean of 28.58 alleles per locus (A); an observed heterozygosity (Ho) of 0.80 and a very low value of inbreeding coefficient (Fis =0.06). On the other hand, we found from our Bayesian population analysis three populations (one per species and a third one very admixed) apparently not spatially correlated and a substantial level of intermediate genetic profiles, as around 47% of the feral trees and 35% of crab apples may be hybrids.
Research highlights: Connectivity in the crab apple genetic pool is still functional and interspecific gene flow may be relevant. Nevertheless, further conservation measures and research must be carried to understand the population dynamics between both species.
