Regularity and Uniformity in the Ethiopian Hagiographical Tradition: A Particular Focus on Narrating the Childhood of Saints
Authors: Alehegne Mersha
Published: July 2020

The paper is an attempt to show how uniformity and regularity characterize the childhood of different Ethiopian saints as it is sketched in the Ethiopic hagiographic tradition. Presenting ample evidences from different hagiographies of Ethiopian saints, it tries to show how the saints’ early life follows a set of standardized patterns which are seen nearly as universal convention that is almost interchangeable between one saint and another. The discussion is focused on three patterns (infertility, prophecy/vision and old-child) of childhood where uniformity and regularity in the tradition are evident.

Κολόη und Ḳoɦayto (‘Auf-/Ausblick’): Studien zur äthiopischen Toponomastik. 1
Authors: Voigt Rainer
Published: July 2020

The Eritrean place names Ḳoħay-to and Ḳoħay-n contain the root √ḳlħ which can be recognized too in the Old South Arabian place name Ḳlħn. The identity of Ḳoħayto with the classical Κολόη reported by the Periplus Maris Erythraei (1st century A.D.) is based on phonological and semantic considerations. The meaning of the root becomes evident from Sabaen ḳlħ ‘raised water-channel’ as well as from its modern Yemeni Arabic equivalent qalħ ‘upper fields; a water channel through which water is conducted to higher level pipes’. In Tigrinya the same root is attested in several verbal and nominal forms as in ḳwålaɦta ‘upward look with raised head’. This meaning fits very well to the geographic position of Koloë/Ḳoɦayto on the eastern edge of the Eritrean plateau.

Transfer of Knowledge in Twentieth-Century Muslim Ethiopia: The Library of al-Šayḫ al-Ḥāǧǧ Ḥabīb from Wällo
Authors: Hernández López Adday
Published: July 2020

Although Muslims in Ethiopia are a large part of the total population, nevertheless, their literary tradition and their cultural heritage have, until the present, hardly been studied by the academic community. The present article aims to shed light on the Islamic manuscript tradition in Ethiopia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by focus-ing on several codices owned by al-Šayḫ Ḥabīb, a renowned scholar and respected walī from Wällo, in north-eastern Ethiopia.

Textual Commentary on the Ethiopic Text of Ezekiel 1–11
Authors: Knibb Michael
Published: July 2020

This article provides a textual commentary on the Gǝʿǝz text of Ezekiel 1–11 as edited by Michael Knibb in his recently published edition, The Ethiopic Text of the Book of Ezekiel: a Critical Edition (2015), and complements what is said in the introduction to the edition. It also serves to complement Knibb’s Schweich Lectures, Translating the Bible: the Ethio-pic Version of the Old Testament (1999). The textual notes are primarily concerned to provide a detailed comparison of the Ethiopic version with the underlying Greek text in the light also of the Hebrew text and of the Syriac and Syriac-based Arabic versions; to comment on the vocabulary used in the Ethiopic version of Ezekiel; and to discuss difficulties in the Ethiopic text. The notes demonstrate clearly the dependence of the Ethiopic text of Ezekiel on the Alexandrian text (the A-text), particularly the minuscule pair 106–410 and the minuscule 534, the close ally of 130, which has been regarded as the most closely related of the minuscules to the Ethiopic text of Ezekiel. They also provide evidence of the influence of the Syro-Arabic version on the text.
Towards a Comparative Framework for Research on the Long Cycle in Ethiopic Gospels: Some Preliminary Observations
Authors: Gnisci Jacopo
Published: July 2020

This article argues that it is possible to improve our understanding of Ethiopian manuscript illumination of the early Solomonic period by adopting a systematic comparative approach. It does so by presenting a case study which analyses and compares the iconography of two examples of the long cycle dating to the second half of the fourteenth century. This comparison shows how technical skills and artistic choices contributed to the shaping of Ethiopian manuscript illumination, and in doing so it sheds some light on the artistic practices of early Solomonic illuminators.
The World’s Oldest Living Proverb Discovered Thriving in Ethiopia
Authors: Unseth Peter
Published: July 2020

The world’s oldest living proverb, from around 3,800 years ago, is found on a tablet from the Assyrian empire. The proverb has been documented from later eras, northwest from the Middle East up into Europe, as far northwestas Britain. Evidence is given here now demonstrating that the proverb is also found to the south of the Middle East, in Ethiopia. In some places, a cat is substituted for the dog, but the Ethiopian evidence indicates that the dog version of the proverb is original.
A Fifteenth-Century Ethiopian Homily on the Archangel Uriel
Authors: Tefera Amsalu
Published: July 2020

The text presented in this article is the earliest homily in honour of the Archangel Uriel. The homily is attested in two copies: the earlier is EMML 1835 (fols 166ra–181vb) copied during the time of Emperor Zärʾa Yaʿǝqob (r 1434–1468), and the other is EMML 1841 (fols 137vb–151ra) dated to the seventeenth century. The text makes significant use of 4 Ezra and 1 Enoch, depicting Uriel as angelus interpres and helper of Enoch and Ezra.

Aksum and the Bible: Old Assumptions and New Perspectives
Authors: Piovanelli Pierluigi
Published: July 2020

The Aksumite Bible, as a cultural product of Late Antiquity, is still relatively obscure. Thus, in spite of the most recent advances in the field of Ethiopian studies—notably, the new radiocarbon dating of Gärima I and Gärima III Gospels—old scholarly opinions, such as the active role played by the famous fifthcentury Syrian Miaphysite refugees in Aksumite Ethiopia, are not only still uncritically repeated, but also used to build up even more extravagant theories. The time has come to reassess some basic issues about the Egyptian and Palestinian origins of the first missionaries and the nature of the Greek texts they brought with them, as well as the Ethiopian identities of the first translators and the chronological framework for their work.
Beschreibung der zuletzt von der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek, München erworbenen äthiopischen Handschriften
Authors: Six Veronika
Published: July 2020

A description of the collection of Ethiopian manuscripts in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich, can be found in the volumes of the Union Catalogue of Oriental Manuscripts in Germany (Verzeichnis der orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland, VOHD). However, by 2016, the library’s holdings had been augmented by a further twenty Ethiopian manuscripts: some were donations, but most had been purchased atauctions. They are presented in this article according to the rules of the VOHD. Of the four Psalters, Cod. aethiop. 179, probably dating from the sixteenth century based on paleographic criteria, should be highlighted. Furthermore there are seven parchment scrolls and two leporello manuscripts. Also worth mentioning is a Senkessār for the second part of the year, as well as a Deggwā and several other manuscripts, all withillustrations that have been added at a later date to the original text but which have a characteristic style or use wellknown motifs. Cod. aethiop. 173 is also interesting since there are not many other such manuscripts, though at first sight the title ʿEnzira sebḥat simply suggests a common hymn.

Ityoṗyawinnät and Addis Abäba’s Popular Music Scene
Authors: Marye Hewan Semon
Published: July 2020

The production, consumption, and distribution of contemporary Ethiopian music has thus far remained largely unexplored, although it is an important part of the urban Ethiopian public sphere. This study explores themes dominant in the music scene of Ethiopia in 2016, in which musicians explore ideas central to Ethiopian socio-political and economic life. The subversive nature of Ethiopian music, its presentation of characteristic topics of urban life, its aesthetic power, and the prominence it gives to important themes such as citizenship, nationalism, and identity are all investigated in this article. The study examines the influence music has had on bringing Ethiopians together in the face of a divisive political landscape, and as ultimately having played a critical role in the political changes the country witnessed in 2018.

Amharisch lernen mit Montessoris Wortartensymbolen
Authors: Guss-Kosicka Marlene
Published: July 2020

The study of Amharic presents German-speaking students with a rather difficult task. In addition to a new writing system and some unfamiliar sounds, they have to learn many grammatical structures that differ significantly from those found in the German language. This is especially true of the Amharic verbal system, which is characterized by a great variety of forms, some of which—the relative verbal form, the gerundive, or the qualifying copula constructions—do not exist in German. In addition, Amharic differs greatly from German in the arrangement of the elements within a sentence. These syntactic differences are a great challenge when learning Amharic. Thus, this article describes a method of learning some elements of Amharic syntax, making them more accessible to students. In order to make the grammatical structures visible, the word symbols developed by the Italian doctor and teacher Maria Montessori are used as aids. The individual types of words in a sentence are represented by symbols, for instance verbs by a red circle, nouns by a black triangle, or adjectives by a blue triangle, thus illustrating the word order and facilitating language learning.

On Syllable Weight in Amharic
Authors: Voigt Rainer
Published: July 2020

Contrary to the claim made in a recently published article, that literature on Amharic stress is ‘almost nonexistent’, I present and quote from the works of Armbruster, Guidi, Abraham, and others, and discuss their concept of stress patterns in Amharic. However, my criticism mainly concerns the data base used in the aforementioned article which addresses the topic of syllable weight, and where an attempt is made to analyse stress in Amharic based on a large number of examples. In these examples, however, consonantal lengthening and the distinction between the central vowels ǝ and ä and ä and a are incorrectly represented in almost all verbal forms, infinitives, and adjectives. This is partly the result of the informants speaking Amharic as their second language, and partly due to the fieldworkers’ incomplete knowledge of the language. This gives rise to many mistakes even amongst the simplest one- and two-syllable words. Ultimately this raises the question of whether those authors’ linguistic conclusions on the moraic nature of codas can be regarded as safe since it is based on inaccurate data. I also apply my own analysis to Amharic reduplicated adjectival forms, which differs from the one proposed in the said article.

Ethiopia, Europe and Modernity: A Preliminary Sketch
Authors: Crummey Donald
Published: July 2020

This paper explores some of the issues of cultural epistemology which underlie the relations between Ethiopia and Europe.  It briefly explores the origins of modern diplomatic contacts, arguing that the appropriation of modernity increasingly became a central concern of Ethiopia’s rulers in their relations with Europe.  It then raises the question, if Europeanized modernity has increasingly marked Ethiopia in the twentieth century, how are we to discern Ethiopia’s contribution to this process? To what extent, in its modernization, has Ethiopia’s educated elite lost contact with an indigenous point of view?  The paper argues that a critical appreciation of modernity in Ethiopia must be made against a background which historicizes the process whereby it came about, which takes fully into account the modes of reasoning embodied in Gǝʿǝz texts, and which privileges the views of those rural Ethiopians so lightly touched by modernity.

The Textual Background of the Gospel of Matthew in Ge‘ez
Authors: Zuurmond Rochus
Published: July 2020

The Gospel of Matthew in Ge‘ez has been handed down in two ancient Versions: A-text and B-text. The A-text is the earlier one, translated from the Greek and completed not later than the 6th century. It is a very ‘free’ translation, adapting the text not only to a Semitic vernacular but also to a new cultural background. The Vorlage of the A-text was rather close to the Byzantine type of text, but it has more readings in common with Greek manuscripts such as ﬡ, W and B, than those commonly understood as ‘Byzantine.’ The B-text, although strongly influenced by the A-text, removes practically all translational liberties of the A-text. It contains readings that seem to have originated from Syriac or Coptic Gospels and therefore is probably a medieval revision of the A-text on the basis of Arabic Gospels. Existing European editions of the Gospel of Matthew by and large exhibit a B-text.
The Symbolism of Space in Ethiopia
Authors: Lagopoulos Alexandros Ph. , Stylianoudi M.-G. Lily
Published: July 2020

The present study starts from an Amhara text, Śǝrʿatä mängǝśt, “the first Ethiopian Constitution”, the basic elements of which were already in place in the fourteenth century, and which we analyze using a semiotic methodology. We argue that the concept of classification system is central to an understanding of culture and the semiotic systems constituting it, and we use a specific definition of the semiotic concept of code in order to study the structure of the classification system.Using an anthropological approach and applying a systematic semiotic methodology of analysis to Śǝrʿatä mängǝśt, it is possible to penetrate into the Ethiopian world view, articulated around a structured but flexible classification system. This system regulates, mainly through the royal, religious-cosmic and anthropomorphic codes, the organization and form of the royal camp. The spatial model attached to the system remained strikingly constant, in spite of certain modifications, for at least six centuries and was applied to all kinds of military camps; it also influenced the process of urbanization, since these camps were frequently the initial nuclei of later capitals and towns. Historically, this model resulted from the superimposition on an indigenous model of the Christian model of heavenly Jerusalem. The model had a wide scope: it was also applied to palaces, to churches starting in the sixteenth century or earlier, and to the country as a whole. The pivot and actual regulator of the model is the king, a legitimization strategy which reinforces his position of power and authority, both material and symbolic.
Two Visits to Mugär Gädam, Šäwa
Authors: Pankhurst Richard
Published: July 2020

The article describes two field trips to a little-known craftsman’s gädam, or monastery, in northern Šäwa. This institution, which, like other such monasteries in the region, probably dates from the late seventeenth or early eighteenh century, seems to have come into existance as a result of the rise of the Šäwan state. This development apparently attracted Fälaša, or Judaic, craftsmen — weavers, blacksmiths and potters — from the Gondär area, who at some uncertain stage were converted to Christianity.The gädam today consists of monks and nuns, who practice the traditionally “marginalised occupations” of blacksmith, weaver, and potter. Though nominally Christian, they have retained several traits which seem more “Judaic” than those of the highland Christian population at large.

Ancient features of Ancient Ethiopic
Authors: Bausi Alessandro
Published: July 2020

‘Ancient features’ of Ethiopic in Aksumite inscriptions and ancient MSS must be discussed with consideration of the philological aspects implied, and their distribution may hint at the coexistence of parallel scribal traditions during Aksumite and early Post-Aksumite periods; from the 14th cent. onwards ‘ancient features’ tend to become much more sporadic and one traditional standard prevails; ancient MSS which did not observe the prevalent standard may have been systematically substituted; ‘lost traditions’ may survive in few scanty relics.

Peutz-Jeghars’ syndrome, a rare genetic disorder: A case report
Authors: Mone Fabia Hannan , Roy Kuntal , Hasan, Gazi Zahirul , Roy Kaushik , Ahamed, Qazi Sazib , Jui Jannatul Ferdous
Published: July 2020

Abstract:

Hamartomatous polyposis syndromes or Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a hereditary autosomal dominant disease characterized by benign hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation in the digestive tract. It occurs mostly in the small intestine during first decade of life but frequently in the colon and stomach. Only a few cases have been reported in the duodenum1. Polyposis syndromes are common cause of adult intussusceptions, with polyps acting as lead points. Adult intussusceptions are rare and is almost always associated with that lead point2. Although hamartomatous polyps are not pre-malignant, there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal malignancy, commonly involving the small bowel. Most patients of PJS presents with acute abdomen and diagnosed as intussusceptions, commonly entero-enteric type but colo-colic intussusceptions are rare in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome3. To the best of our knowledge, synchronous colo-colic intussusception association in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome has not been previously reported.
A study on the hopper unloading duration of the harvesting machine at different technical parameters
Authors: Tihanov G.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. When unloading grain harvester hoppers at standstill the time of emptying the hopper has a significant effect on the harvester productivity. The paper is about a conducted survey in 15 agricultural farms with 15 harvesters monitored including 14 models of 6 different brands during wheat harvesting. The time for emptying the grain hopper of the harvesters was defined by measuring the time. It was found that the actual time for emptying the hoppers of the studied harvesters was 134.85 s, and the actual flow rate of unloading of the screw in them being 69.63 L/s on average. A multivariate regression analysis was performed on the effect of the harvester grain hopper volume and the actual flow rate of the unloading screw on the time from switching on the unloading screw till its switching off in various grain harvesters. An adequate mathematical model of the effect of the hopper volume and the flow rate of the unloading screw of grain harvesters on the time for emptying the grain hopper under real production conditions has also been created. These results can also be used for minimizing costs in the technological process at harvesting.
Evaluation of new mathematical models for estimation of single olive leaves area
Authors: Mhanna M.A.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The study was conducted on “Khoderi” olive cultivar planted in Jableh Region-Latakia province, Syria in 2017 in order to evaluate some mathematical models adapted for olive single leaf area estimation. Leaf samples were taken from the middle of one-year branches. Actual areas of the leaves were measured using Adobe Photoshop CS5. Leaf dimensions (length and width) were measured accurately. Coefficients of determination were estimated for the relation between leaf dimensions and the actual area. The best coefficient of determination was between the natural logarithm of the product (leaf length × leaf width) and the natural logarithm of leaf area (R2= 0.962). Linear regression equation of the mentioned relation was fitted and evaluated. The accuracy of the new model (A=e0.9509ln LW – 0.2867) was compared to other models commonly used for olive single leaf area estimation. The comparison showed no significant differences between leaf area obtained by the new model and the actual leaf area values (p=0.01), whereas significant differences were found for the other models. The new model showed the lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and high efficiency in estimating olive leaf area of “Khoderi” cultivar in two different environments; the same results were obtained for olive cultivar “Picholine” the French. We recommend the new model for olive single leaf area estimation.
Spectral analysis as an extra method to soil type discrimination
Authors: Todorova M. , Atanassova S. , Georgiev M. , Pleshkuza L.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The purpose of the study was to test near infrared soil spectra as an extra method for three soil types (Fluvisols, Vertisols and Solonchaks) discrimination from different regions of South Bulgaria. The diffuse reflectance spectra of 177 soil samples (from the 0-20cm layers): 50 samples of Fluvisols soil type, 78 samples of Vertisols soil type and 48 samples of Solonchaks soil type were obtained using a Spectrum NIRQuest (OceanOptics, Inc.) working within the range from 900 to 1700 nm. Soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA) was performed to classify samples according to their taxonomic classes. The results obtained showed that the soil samples are separated accurately according to their soil type based on their spectral information. All this could be used in the future studies related to the application of the NIRS method as a qualitative or quantitative method for soil analysis and also for the purposes of precision farming.

Abstract: In Law Number 1 of 1974 Article 3 paragraphs 1 and 2, providing an explanation of the marriage principle is monogamous but is open, or in KHI using the term polygamy is limited to four wives, but with a record of the ability to provide and do justice towards his wives and children. Households that are built based on polygamy are part of a community that is a matter of controversy, but legal normativeity has been ratified and that a social reality occurs. The method is used in this study by collecting data in the form of literary literature (literature research), as for the steps in this study by reading literature in the form of books, articles, legislation and fatwas. The data is analyzed by qualitative descriptive method in order to obtain research results based on theories related to research The results showed that there were no women who were willing to be polygamous. In the case of polygamy, women are the object of violence wrapped neatly in household life. Abstrak: Salah satu bentuk inovasi yang dikeluarkan bank syariah untuk menunjang kebutuhan masyarakat adalah produk gadai emas syariah. Namun, kekhawatiran muncul terhadap produk rahn (gadai syariah) karena produk ini bukan merupakan aset produktif dalam menghasilkan keuntungan. Dengan adanya layanan ini, Bank Syariah hanya men­dapatkan keuntungan dari jasa pemeliharaan barang yang dijanjikan sebagai jaminan. Permasalahan muncul ketika keuntungan diambil dari persentase besaran pinjaman yang diberikan oleh Bank Syariah kepada nasabah sebagaimana praktik di perbankan kon­ven­­sional.  Oleh karena itu, ini adalah topik yang menarik untuk dibahas di antara akademisi yang terkait dengan besaran dan perhitungan jasa pemeliharaan yang harus dibayar nasabah kepada Bank. Jika jasa pemeliharaan ditentukan berdasar­kan persen­tase dari jumlah pembiayaan atau pinjaman, maka terdapat nilai bunga kredit atas pembiayaan yang harus dikembalikan oleh nasabah sebagai jasa pemeliharaan yang dihitung dari besaran pinjaman tersebut. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisa konsep akad dan penerapan­nya dalam pembiayaan gadai emas di bank syariah. Adapun obyek studi ini adalah mengenai bank komersial Islam, termasuk Bank Syariah Mandiri dan Bank Jabar Banten Syariah.

Published: July 2020

Respondents’ perception about the possible changes of best before date (BBD) to the date of the highest quality was the main aim of the survey. The survey consisted out of 1,107 respondents who were grouped according to their demographic characteristics and food labelling preferences. The results of the survey are indicating high acceptance rate towards new labelling, but without clear connection with their preferences. Another aspect of the research emphasised the respondents’ perception towards the price of healthier food commodities and revealed that education level has high impact ( P < 0.05) on their opinion and considerations. The survey gave important answers on possibility of changes of food labelling by which it would be affected food waste quantities. Certainly, each food type shelf life should be checked and labelled according to food perishability and consumers safeness. The changing of the BBD to the date of the highest quality according to  our survey would be broadly accepted among all socio-demographic groups.

Local rice varieties with premium nutritional quality grains are beneficial to consumers, and their genetic traits may be deployed in breeding programmes for many purposes. This study explores grain quality characteristics with health implications of rice germplasm maintained and used by farmers in the highlands of Northern Thailand. Concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), phenols and anthocyanin and anti-oxidative capacity were determined in the caryopsis without husk of 77 samples of rice seed collected from farmers. Entries with the highest grain quality characteristics identified were grown together with four standard check varieties at two different elevations in a farmer’s field at Mae Wang District of Chiang Mai province (800 m above mean sea level), as well as in pots at Chiang Mai University (CMU) (330 m above mean sea level). The grain quality characteristics were determined at maturity, separately for 10 individual plants grown at CMU. A wide variation in all the grain quality characteristics was found among samples grown in the farmer’s field. There were approximately twofold differences in the lowest and highest Fe and Zn concentrations, especially high variation in contents of phenols and anthocyanin and anti-oxidative capacity found in grain with purple pericarp. The top entries identified from the farmer’s seed had significantly higher anthocyanin concentration and anti-oxidative capacity than the check varieties when grown together at Mae Wang and CMU, in spite of the strong locality specific effects on these characteristics. Further variation was found in the grain quality characteristics within each of the selected farmer’s seed samples. Quality improvement could thus be made by either eliminating the poorest performing lines or development of single-seed descent lines from the top-performing plants. The desirable genetic traits can also be used in breeding programme for improvement of grain yield as well as cooking and nutritional quality.

RESUMO Este manuscrito apresenta uma narrativa de tutores de diferentes estados do Brasil sobre a experiência do exercício da tutoria, no período de 2016 a 2018, no âmbito de um curso de aperfeiçoamento de modalidade semipresencial direcionado a gestores de Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Um dos grandes desafios da atenção à saúde constitui-se na qualificação de gestores para atuação no Sistema Único de Saúde. Aos gerentes de Unidades Básicas de Saúde, são necessárias competências de gestão clínica e do cuidado para que sejam produzidos modos efetivos de fazer saúde de maneira colaborativa e efetiva. Os processos de gestão na esfera da atenção básica requerem o uso de ferramentas que possibilitem a adoção de outros modos de ser gerente, como o processo circular, a comunicação não violenta, o fluxograma descritor, o projeto terapêutico singular, além da valorização das tecnologias relacionais para a qualificação dos processos de gestão. Constata-se a capacidade do curso para a ativação de mudanças na qualificação de profissionais para o exercício da gestão de unidades básicas, haja vista o seu potencial de provocar deslocamentos de olhares, posições e saberes no que concerne à função de gerência.

RESUMO O artigo objetivou a análise da política industrial brasileira para o setor saúde nas últimas duas décadas por meio da descrição da condição de sustentabilidade organizacional vis-à-vis à indução da Parceria para o Desenvolvimento Produtivo (PDP) do Ministério da Saúde. O estudo do caso de um grande Laboratório Farmacêutico Oficial (LFO) identificou os efeitos não antecipados associados à indução governamental na área industrial. O estudo de caso foi a opção metodológica para a análise de questões de natureza organizacional que não podem ser explicadas com precisão pela descrição quantitativa. Como resultado, o artigo aponta que a PDP foi bem-sucedida na ampliação da capacidade produtiva no setor público na área farmacêutica. Contudo, para o caso de Farmanguinhos, os resultados da PDP devem ser avaliados com cautela. O artigo conclui que a unidade produtiva da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) enfrentará sérios desafios à sustentabilidade em função da sua singular inserção na PDP. As compras governamentais promovidas pela PDP não favoreceram ganhos de escala e escopo, afetando negativamente os LFO com elevada capacidade de produção, como é a condição de Farmanguinhos.
Serviços Residenciais Terapêuticos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro: uma análise da estrutura e do processo de cuidado

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo foi analisar a estrutura e o processo de cuidado nos Serviços Residenciais Terapêuticos existentes no município do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se de um estudo transversal que se concentrou na coleta de informações primárias por meio de instrumento estruturado. A pesquisa foi realizada em todos os dispositivos em funcionamento no mês de dezembro de 2016. No Rio de Janeiro, as Residências Terapêuticas recebem essencialmente pacientes egressos de internações psiquiátricas de longa permanência (94,3%), com grande oferta de vagas em dispositivos com presença de equipe nas 24 horas do dia (63,8%). Foi constatado que parte significativa dos moradores apresentava baixa frequência nas atividades assistenciais dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (48,7%). O cuidado interno nos dispositivos residenciais aponta para uma modelagem com forte entrelaçamento entre a moradia e as ações de reabilitação psicossocial. A baixa rotatividade de usuários mostra uma tendência para constituição de serviços com cuidado de longo prazo, o que deve ser levado em conta na manutenção e na expansão do programa no intuito de planejar serviços efetivos. Os resultados apontam que as bolsas de apoio à desinstitucionalização e, principalmente, a renda contínua aferida mediante o Benefício de Prestação Continuada são vitais para a sustentabilidade do programa.
Differential growth response of green and variegated Ficus benjamina to exogenous cytokinin and shade
Authors: Benedetto Adalberto Di , Galmarini Claudio , Tognetti Jorge
Published: July 2020

Abstract Benjamin fig (Ficus benjamina) is an important foliage and landscape crop species comprising green and variegated genotypes. The latter develop leaves with yellow and white leaf areas which may impose lower photosynthetic activity, thus resulting in slower growth than green genotypes. In many species, the exogenous supply of cytokinin to pot-grown plants promotes growth, mainly due to enhanced carbon fixation. In this work, we analyze the effect of spraying the cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on growth and development of green and variegated Ficus benjamina genotypes. Two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse, in which either different number of BAP applications (Experiment 1) or different BAP concentrations (Experiment 2) were tested. In Experiment 2, plants were grown under three different light intensities. BAP sprays promoted rate of leaf appearance, leaf expansion and whole-plant growth, and the effect was stronger in variegated than in green plants. The relative growth rate promotion by BAP was associated with increased net assimilation rate rather than with variation in the leaf area ratio. On the other hand, shading had a more negative impact on growth and development of variegated plants than in green ones. Variegated plants, unlike green ones, developed leaves with high specific leaf area under the lowest light intensity. This led to high leaf area ratio values, which helped to maintain relative growth rates close to those of plants under moderate shading.

Abstract Accurate quality classification is one of the requirements of the flower market, which is becoming increasing more sophisticated and demanding. However, there is a lack of information regarding how such classification is performed, and it is often conducted in a less empirical and more subjective way. Therefore, this work aimed to compare the efficiency of personal classification (in-person) and using digital images to determine the quality of anthurium cv. Tropical (Anthurium andraeanum Lind.). Three experiments were performed regarding the recording of the images and the display mode of the images and comparing three methods of classifying postharvest quality of anthurium. It was concluded that measurements of colorimetric parameters can be performed anywhere on the spathe, but the period in which the parameters are measured does affect. Evaluators differ in the thoroughness with which they assign grades, and there is no need for prior knowledge to assess quality using images. The L* parameter measured by the colorimeter presented higher correlation with the evaluation of postharvest quality of Anthurium andraeanum Lind. ‘Tropical’. Classification by images can be performed using different electronic devices, and in-person classification is more rigorous than classification conducted using digital images.
