The study aimed to evaluate the effect on zootechnical performance and survival of pirarucu juveniles (Arapaima gigas) submitted to prebiotic supplementation in their diet. Were 120 juveniles of A. gigas acquired, acclimated in water-boxes with continuous aeration and water flow, and fed ad libitum four times a day, with a diet containing 55% crude protein. The 25.5 ± 3.5 g fish were distributed in 12 water-boxes of 500L (3 water-boxes/treatment and 10 fish/water-box). Juveniles were subjected to control (without prebiotics) and also subjected to three treatments A, B and C. The parasites found were observed under optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fish were distributed in completely randomized design water-boxes. The data obtained were evaluated by the Shapiro-Wilk and Bartlett’s tests (α=0.05). Then, they were submitted to ANOVA, and contrasted by the Tukey’s test (α=0.05). While the treatments were contrasted with each other by Dunn's test (α=0.05). The water quality parameters were kept adequate for A. gigas cultivation. In treatments, zootechnical performance and survival rate differed from each other, and were better than the control (p<0.05). Treatment A expressed the highest final weight 77.32 ± 10.23g (p<0.05), and the control had the lowest final weight 20.08 ± 6.64g. The average weight gain was different between treatments (p<0.05), which presented better results than the control (p<0.05). Treatments A and C expressed the highest mean weight gain 49.90 ± 8.95 and 54.17 ± 4.12 g (p<0.05), respectively. The final biomass was different between treatments, which showed better results than the control group (p<0.05). Survival rate was not different between treatments (p>0.05). However, the control presented the lowest rate of 13.33%, due to trichodinid infestation. Supplemented prebiotics were beneficial for weight gain, final biomass, apparent feed conversion and survival of pirarucu juveniles.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to verify the weighted Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIw) coefficients of 3D rotational angiography (3DRA) procedure using Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation EGSnrc usercode was employed for 3D dose simulations of the rotational angiography procedure. A virtual phantom resembles the head CTDI phantom was constructed, with a diameter of 16 cm and a density resembling polymethyl methacrylate (1.13 g/cm3). A series of virtual phantoms consisting of 5 images with ionization chamber detectors at the center position, 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 3 o'clock were acquired. Simulations were performed with photon sources of 70 and 109 kVp for 200-degree x-ray tube rotation. The field of view was divided into narrow, wide, and full beam with diameters of 1.7 cm; 4.9 cm; and 8.6 cm, respectively. The simulated doses at the ionization chamber were processed into weighting factor for weighted CTDI and compared with direct measurements. The dose ratio between peripheral and center positions for 360° CBCT and 200° 3DRA was 1:1 and 1:3 in this study. The weighting factors for 3DRA were determined as CTDIcenter = ¼ and CTDIperiphery = ¾. The measured average percentage difference of CTDIw between our weighted factor and conventional CTDIw was 1.75 % (-3.99 % to 6.08 %). The x-ray tube position of 3DRA impacted the accuracy of weighting factor of CTDIw, with implications for the proposed weighting factor (Wcenter = ¼ and Wperiphery = ¾) when using a 3DRA machine.

Published: April 2024

Endophytic fungi play crucial roles in promoting plant growth and enhancing stress tolerance, making them valuable allies in agriculture. This reviewer explores the advantageous roles and implications of endophytic fungi in plant stress tolerance, focusing on hormonal regulation, nutrient uptake, and their management of various abiotic and biotic stresses. Endophytic fungi influence the production of plant hormones such as auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins; thus, contributing to enhanced growth and stress resilience. They also assist in nutrient uptake, solubilizing minerals, and fixing atmospheric nitrogen; thereby improving overall plant nutrition. This reviewer discusses the mechanism of endophytic fungi’s effectiveness in managing biotic and abiotic stresses, including; high CO2 levels, waterlogging/drought, salinity, high temperatures, salinity, heavy metal stress as well as plant pathogens and parasitic attacks. Furthermore, the bio-control capabilities of endophytic fungi against biotic stresses are highlighted, showcasing mechanisms such as induced resistance, mycoparasitism, antibiosis, and competition. The biological activities of recently isolated compounds and associated endophytic fungi are also discussed. Thus, as research in this field progresses, harnessing the full potential of endophytic fungi holds promise for promoting resilient and sustainable agriculture in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Authors: Molina-Guillen Joyce Yamilex , Rodríguez Salcedo Eliana del Rocío
Published: April 2024

La unión de hecho, con raíces históricas, ha evolucionado en Ecuador desde la Constitución de 1978 hasta la actualidad, equiparándola al matrimonio en derechos y obligaciones. Aunque parecida, presenta características distintivas como inclusividad de género y requisitos de convivencia mínima. La sociedad de bienes, similar a la sociedad conyugal, se forma automáticamente en uniones de hecho y destaca por su flexibilidad y reconocimiento de la contribución mutua. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la aplicación del régimen de bienes en las uniones de hecho, centrándose en el principio de equidad en su repartición. La investigación utilizó una metodología cualitativa que incluyó revisión bibliográfica, análisis documental y método exegético para analizar el régimen de bienes en las uniones de hecho, y así determinar si este respeta el principio de equidad. En la unión de hecho, la rigidez de los regímenes legales preestablecidos desafía la equidad al priorizar la seguridad jurídica sobre las circunstancias individuales, problemática que se abordará en este estudio. La asignación automática de la administración al hombre plantea preocupaciones de inequidad de género, subrayando la necesidad de ajustar normas para promover enfoques más equitativos en la gestión de recursos compartidos

O presente estudo tem como objetivo caracterizar detalhadamente o perfil epidemiológico das mortes por causas externas na Região Metropolitana de Salvador/BA (RMS) durante o período de 2010 a 2019. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho epidemiológico, descritivo e retrospectivo, fundamentada na análise minuciosa dos dados provenientes do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM), disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). A coleta das informações seguiu rigorosamente os protocolos de codificação de doenças estabelecidos pela Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID-10). Ao longo dos dez anos abrangidos pela pesquisa, foram registrados 32.324 óbitos decorrentes de causas externas na RMS, representando uma taxa de mortalidade de 17,4% por cada 100.000 habitantes. Este número expressivo coloca as mortes por causas externas como a segunda principal causa de óbito na região, ficando apenas atrás das doenças do aparelho digestivo. Os resultados obtidos revelam uma predileção por indivíduos do sexo masculino, principalmente na faixa etária compreendida entre 20 e 29 anos, sendo estes predominantemente brancos e solteiros. Além disso, as agressões emergem como a principal causa de óbito relacionada a causas externas, destacando a urgência na implementação de medidas eficazes para a prevenção e controle desses eventos. Conclui-se, portanto, que é imprescindível a adoção de medidas socioeducativas e a elaboração de políticas públicas específicas voltadas para a redução da incidência de mortes por causas externas na capital baiana. A implementação destas medidas torna-se fundamental para mitigar os impactos negativos desse cenário na saúde pública e na qualidade de vida da população residente na RMS.

Os indivíduos vivenciam diferentes formas de existir e expressar-se e vão se transformando na medida em que as culturas se desenvolvem e o mundo se globaliza. Na constituição do indivíduo, a família possui uma função fundamental, pois é neste núcleo relacional que o indivíduo se depara com vivências de cuidado, afeto, proteção, frustração e pertencimento familiar (Alarcão, Gaspar, 2007). Este artigo apresenta um protocolo para elaboração de um diagnóstico sistêmico individual. O protocolo está dividido em quatro etapas, sendo a primeira o acolhimento e a apresentação, tanto do indivíduo quanto do/a psicólogo/a. A segunda investigará o eixo da estrutura, a terceira compreenderá a dinâmica relacional e a quarta contempla a queixa apresentada pelo indivíduo. O objetivo deste estudo, pretende-se apresentar a construção de um protocolo que auxilie o/a profissional no desenvolvimento do seu trabalho clínico com indivíduos, preservando o rigor teórico e sua particularidade do saber fazer de cada psicólogo/a. O protocolo poderá ser aplicado durante a primeira entrevista e, se necessário, na segunda entrevista. Trata-se de um trabalho quantitativo e qualitativo de caráter exploratório e descritivo. Os participantes foram doze especialistas/juízes (as)/experts no exercício da prática clínica sistêmica com indivíduos há mais de dez anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um questionário sociodemográfico e uma escala Likert. O procedimento de análise definido foi a psicométrica, verificando-se a confiabilidade e validade de conteúdo. O resultado obtido nesta pesquisa foi a redação de um protocolo do diagnóstico sistêmico individual. Uma das grandes dificuldades constituiu-se em produzir um protocolo que não deixasse os/as psicólogos/as “engessados”, ao mesmo tempo em que, para chegar ao diagnóstico sistêmico individual, pudessem ser utilizadas perguntas lineares e circulares.

Published: April 2024

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are strategies that utilize nature to address various environmental and societal challenges while simultaneously benefiting human-ecological systems. They are cost-effective and scalable approaches that have the potential to address climate change, support biodiversity, and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite these benefits, several factors challenge their widespread implementation, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to determine the essential elements needed to implement the NbS initiatives successfully in rural communities. Taking the case of Victoria, Laguna, this research conducted Key Informant Interviews with local stakeholders and policymakers and applied thematic and multicriteria analyses to evaluate their readiness, factors to be considered, and strategies for the successful implementation of NbS initiatives in the municipality. Results revealed that the locals have limited knowledge of NbS and utilizing NbS initiatives stood as a secondary priority, compared to more preferred gray infrastructure/hard engineering projects. The financing, enforcement, and knowledge components determined the readiness of Victoria for its NbS initiatives. In terms of the factors for the successful implementation of NbS initiatives, the most prevalent themes were the criteria for an inclusive, transparent, and empowering governance process, net gain to biodiversity and ecosystem integrity, and design informed by scale. Furthermore, the NbS initiatives in Victoria were observed to adhere to the IUCN Global Standard, with biodiversity net gain and economic feasibility as their strongest areas. In terms of strategies, local stakeholders placed substantial importance on its sustainability and mainstreaming in appropriate contexts, as well as on evidence-based adaptive management. Findings provided recommendations focusing on creating an NbS assessment mechanism, strengthening the existing NbS governance structure, information and education campaigns, and formulating proposals that utilize NbS to address other issues faced in the municipality, such as flooding and climate change.

This chapter revisited an experiment that evaluated elicitors for the germination of Vigna unguiculata (Cowpi Beans): the plant extract of E. tirucalli, the ultra-diluted and dynamized solution of Sulfur 5CH and the two in combination. At that time (2017), due to the significant results observed for the engorgement of seeds exuding an ammoniacal odor, the participation of the sodium/potassium pump, detoxifying enzymes from the thiol group and the suggestive participation of the nitrogenous route of oxidative stress was discussed, by monitoring the factors abiotic and detection of cyanuric acid in similar hydroponic solutions where Cowpea was cultivated, thus questioning the potential phytoremediation effect of test solutions as herbicides. Later, with the literature showing the association of the thiol group with mercury as another mechanism for phytoremediation, removing it from contaminated soil and water, it was also shown that very few plant species have this ability (two). So, based on the figure and scheme drawn up by environmental engineer Alexandre Pereira (2022), this potential was thought to be possible for the succulent species studied, E. tirucalli. From then on, the experiment was re-discussed thinking about the association with another likely mechanism for the results previously verified. Now also thinking about the potential participation of dairy ducts as structures capable of extracting and even bioaccumulating pollutants, in this case, mercury, since biotransformation was empirically observed in this species through phytovolatilization, which caused intoxication through inhalation of researchers, using an odorless substance released (NAGAMATSU et al., 2019). To conclude, therefore, based on practical experience with this plant species, this appears to be a viable mechanism that will be investigated in future water cultivation trials of Vigna unguiculata, this time with micropropagated Euphorbia tirucalli to be carried out in partnership with agricultural engineering, agronomic (phytosanitary) and environmental. The aim is through research in plant biotechnology to study the effects on phytoremediation, the consequent interdisciplinary promotion of environmental health.

The manipulable trigonometric cycle: A tool for teaching trigonometric functions
Authors: Santiago Eilson
Published: April 2024

The present research aims to analyze the use of the Manipulable Trigonometric Cycle as a teaching resource to facilitate the teaching-learning process of trigonometry. It is justified by the reason that some teachers do not teach trigonometry in basic education, as it is considered Mathematics content that is difficult to teach and very difficult for students to understand. Therefore, it was decided to use the manipulable object as an auxiliary tool for teaching trigonometry, believing that it could be a very effective methodology for education. This investigation had a quantitative-qualitative approach, as the quantified data was obtained through the application of the Manipulable Trigonometric Cycle, and they were subsequently analyzed, interpreting the variations in the results and Questionnaires were used to obtain the data. The research sample were students from two classes of the second year of high school integrated into the technical course in agriculture at the Federal Institute of the North of Minas Gerais. Based on the assumption that Manipulable Materials help in the development of learning, stimulates creativity, imagination and autonomy, exercises concentration, promotes socialization, contributes to the construction of students' personality and logical reasoning. It is concluded that the teaching material can become a great ally for the teacher, helping him in the teaching-learning process of the students, thus contributing to an improved construction of knowledge, as long as it is explored properly, so that the student begins to build their own concepts.

İslam’ın Doğuşu Esnasında Mekke ve Medine Şartlarının Mukayesesi
Authors: Zengin Fatih
Published: April 2024

Hz. Peygamber’in risâletinin on üç yılı Mekke’de, on yılı Medine’de geçmiştir. Hz. Peygamber’in tebliğ metodunu belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden birisi vahyin inmeye başladığı Mekke ile Medine’nin benzerlik ve farklılık arz eden yönleridir. Rasûlullâh her iki şehirdeki siyasî, sosyal, ekonomik ve dinî yapılanmaya göre tebliğ yöntem ve stratejisini belirlemiştir. Mekke’de Kusay’dan beri devam eden daha düzenli ve istikrarlı bir idarî yapılanma bulunmasına karşın Medine’de siyasî yapı dağınıklık arz etmekte, şehirde Evz ve Hazrec gibi Arap kabilelerinin yanı sıra Yahudi kabileleri yaşamakta, bu bağlamda kabileciliğin hâkim olduğu görülmektedir. Medine ileri gelenlerinin İslâm’a erkenden girmesi buna mukabil Mekke ileri gelenlerinin şiddetli muhalefeti de iki şehrin en bariz farklarından birini oluşturmuştur. İki şehir arasındaki bir diğer farklılık Mekke’nin Arap Yarımadası’nın en önemli ticaret merkezi olması, Medine’nin ise tarıma dayalı bir ekonomik yapıya sahip olmasıdır. Yüzyıllardan beri nesilden nesile işleyerek oluşturdukları uluslararası bir ticaret ağına sahip olan Mekke’ye kıyasla Medine daha mütevazı bir iktisadî hayata sahipti. Dolayısıyla Mekkeliler hayatları boyunca verdikleri her önemli kararda ticaretlerini göz önünde bulundurmak mecburiyetini hissetmişlerdir. Mekke ve Medine arasında farklılık arz eden bir diğer vasıf da, her iki şehirdeki dinî yaşantıdır. Kâbe başlangıçta tevhidin merkezi iken asli fonksiyonunu yitirmiştir. Bununla birlikte Kabe’nin varlığı, Mekkelilerin Araplar nezdindeki itibarını artırmıştır. Mekke’de Haniflik inancının kırıntıları kalmakla birlikte Kabe’de 360 tane putun bulunması Mekke’yi şirkin merkezi haline getirmiştir. Mekke’nin çevresine kurulan panayırlar da Mekke’nin ekonomisini oldukça canlı kılmıştır. Medine’de ise bir dinî merkez veya ibadethane bulunmamaktaydı. Buna mukabil şehirde bulunan Yahudiler ile temaslar sonucunda Mekke’ye göre Medine’de Ehl-i kitabın kavramlarına daha aşina bir toplum oluşmuştu. Bu durum Medine şartlarını İslâm tebliğine daha hazır hale getirmişti. Biz ise makalemizde İslam’ın doğuşu esnasında Medine’deki siyasî dinî, sosyal ve ekonomik şartları irdeleyecek, benzerlik ya da farklılık arz eden hususları tespit edeceğiz.

An important rabi oilseed crop, linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) has diploid chromosomal number 2n=30. According to Tadesse et al. (2009), L. usitatissimum is a single species in the Linaceae family of commercial value. According to correlation coefficient analyses, there is a strong intrinsic inherent between the different qualities because the genotypic correlation values were larger than the equivalent phenotypic correlation values. The biological yield per plant, 1000 seed weight, and seed yield per plant all shown a highly significant and favorable correlation. It suggested that grain yield might be enhanced under selection by enhancing these features. The results of the genotypic path coefficient analysis of seed yield and its contributing characters showed that harvest index, days to 50% flowering, number of secondary branches per plant, and number of primary branches per plant were the next most important factors that positively influenced grain yield per plant. These findings suggested that selection based on these traits could increase yield. The biological yield per plant, harvest index, number of primary branches per plant, days to maturity, and days to 50% flowering were found to have the greatest positive direct effects on seed yield per plant based on phenotypic path coefficient analysis of grain yield and its contributing features.

Pomegranate, regarded as the “Fruit of Paradise”, is one of the important fruit crops of tropical and subtropical regions. Pomegranate fruits are delicious and possess significant nutritional and medicinal benefits. Due to the increase in demand, the proliferation of pomegranate through tissue culture is essential to get high-quality planting material. However, microbial contamination in plant tissue culture is one of the bottlenecks for establishing aseptic cultures. Although multiple explant sterilisation methods have been developed for pomegranate, explant sterilisation methods can indeed vary from region to region due to the local environment and the mother plant. In the present study, 1-2 drops of tween 20 (20 min) + 500 mg/L carbendazim (30 min) + 500 mg/L streptomycin sulphate (10 min) + 100 mg/L citric acid (30 min) + 100 mg/L tebuconazole (folicur) (30 min) + 0.1% HgCl2 (1 min) + dipping explant after cutting the edges in sterile water (30 min) + dipping in 500 mg/L PVP (5 min) was found to be optimum in the prevention of microbial contamination with minimal cell death. Nodal segments-initiated callus at 54 days after culture, showing a callus induction percentage of 55.55% and a calli weight of 80 mg/explant.
Place Branding in Finland: A Discourse Analysis of Municipal Slogans
Authors: Hakala Ulla , Sjöblom Paula , Ainiala Terhi
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this multidisciplinary study is to investigate how municipalities position themselves in their slogans as unique places among competitors, namely other municipalities in their region or country. Em-pirically, discourse analysis was used to investigate the semantic features of municipal slogans in the context of place branding in Finland. The major findings demonstrate similarity in commonness rather than uniqueness: the slogans resembled each other thematically and did not distinctively differentiate places from one another. Academic research on slogans and their relation to linguistics and place branding is scarce. This study aims to narrow this gap. Nevertheless, further research is needed on slogans from different countries and languages. The study recommends that place managers should invest time and thought in the creation of slogans based on the factual attributes and values of the place as well as its strategies.
The Impacts of Low Visibility on the Aviation Services of Patna Airport During the Period from 2016 to 2023
Authors: Anand Shankar  , R.K Giri
Published: April 2024

Airport efficiency depends on fast reactions to circum-stances. Local weather conditions may have an impact on airport operations, which may affect the network. Local weather events and airport operations may affect the network. Low visibility due to fog, thunderstorms, rain, etc. affects Patna Airport, India's 15th busiest airport. It is one of the Airports Authority of India's lucrative airports, located in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), where fog reduces vision and interrupts traffic often in the post-monsoon and winter seasons. Because there is just one operating runway (07/25) at Jay Prakash Narayan International (JPNI) Airport, Patna, and around one hundred daily flight operations, any downtime might have a substantial monetary impact on the aviation services. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to carry out a quantitative study of the losses that are anticipated. This was the first study of its kind that looked at the impact of low visibility (due to fog and a thunderstorm) on economic losses at Patna Airport. This research also investigates the impacts that fog has on aviation services, in addition to its frequency, duration, and characteristics that are linked. Over Patna Airport, there were a total of 726 in-stances of fog (visibility<1000m) and 171 instances of dense fog (visibility<200m) during the studied period, i.e., April 2016 and March 2023 (7 years). As a result, the tacti-cal level of analysis that this approach offers enables the stakeholders to enhance the services and better mitigate the impacts of local weather on the effective operation of the airports.

Trans Tricksters, Looping Effects, and Gender Diagnoses as Containment
Authors: Hsu V. Jo
Published: April 2024

This essay examines how medical rhetorics helped justify the recent torrent of anti-trans legislation. Beginning with the “legitimacy wars” between psychiatry and psychology, I trace how competing disciplines established their own expertise by denying trans patients’ agency and self-knowledge. After identifying the “trans trickster” trope that emerges from these rhetorics, I trace how the trans trickster haunts arguments used to ban gender-affirming health care and sports participation for trans youth. I draw from sociologist Ian Hacking’s “looping effects” to explain how medical logics affect public perception and how those understandings loop back into medical research. The binary, linear models of gender transition established by trans medicine helped justify cisnormative policies around transgender identity, which in turn restricted further scientific inquiry such that more imaginative gender formations remain illegible. To conclude, I argue that medical paradigms work in relation with trans imagination would expand scientific explorations of human diversity, and that those understandings too could loop through public policy and perception.

Suggestions For Overcoming Obstacles In Betelvine Cultivation Of Davanagere District, Karnataka
Authors: S.R Padma, , Madhumitha Sree , H. H Anupam,
Published: April 2024

Like every other occupation, agriculture has its own constraints. In such a way, this article portrays the various constraints/ barriers experienced by the Davanagere district betelvine growers involved in betelvine cultivation. Harihara and Honnali taluks of the Davanagere district were purposively selected as it holds the highest area under betelvine cultivation. Twenty-five betelvine growers were selected from each of the six selected villages of two taluks of the Davanagere district of Karnataka. The selected betelvine growers were enquired about the difficulties experienced in betelvine cultivation using a three-point continuum and analyzed using Constraint Faced Index (CFI). Based on the study, it was found that yield loss due to inconsistent climatic conditions, high cost of labour, high cost of chemicals and fluctuation in market price were the prominent technical, labour, economic and marketing constraints experienced by the betelvine growers of Davanagere district respectively. Encouraging value-added products was the highly suggested measure followed by a provision of good quality inputs and providing credit facilities were the key suggestions put forward by the betelvine growers to overcome the constraints.
