Authors: HOANG Trong Nghia , KOPECKÝ Marek , KONVALINA Petr
Published: July 2022

This study aims to investigate the effect of a mixture of winter wheat varieties on grain rheological characteristics and the quality of wheat flour analyzed by Mixolab. In the 2019-2020 growing season, a small plots experiment was carried out in an organically certified field in the Czech Republic. The experiment was conducted by randomized complete block design with three replicates, four winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties with four mixtures of the same varieties in equal proportions. Based on the results, the expected grain yield was not achieved. The quality of wheat productivity was significantly different among treatments in terms of protein content, wet gluten, sedimentation value, and falling number (P < 0.001). Protein content ranged between 8.04% and 9.85%, mixtures of Butterfly + Lorien and Illusion + Lorien were higher in protein than Illusion and Vanessa varieties and their combination. The highest wet gluten was found under mixtures of Butterfly + Lorien varieties (19.34%) while sowing Butterfly variety gave the highest Zeleny test and falling number compared to other treatments. Butterfly + Lorien and Butterfly + Vanessa mixtures obtained good results for falling number at 250.67 and 272.67 seconds. There were significant differences in rheological quality parameters of winter wheat varieties analyzed by Mixolab including stability, weakening of protein, and starch (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, except slope gamma). Although the observed benefits were limited to grain yield, mixtures of individual cultivars appear to be a potential tool to improve overall crop performance (grain quality).

Published: July 2022

The objective of this study was to point out the prevalence of generic drug use and popular acceptance in the municipality of Itumbiara-GO, besides presenting the relationship between cost and benefit, efficacy and factors that influence user acceptance. The study consisted of a bibliographic and field study, through the application of a quantitative methodology, through a structured questionnaire that was applied and a group of 50 randomly selected people. It was verified that most of the group of interviewees has knowledge about generic drugs, as well as their low costs; but reported that they receive information from unreliable sources, which state that the generic medication does not have the same efficacy as a reference drug. The research also related that public policy actions development lives by the Ministry of Health and health professionals are mental foundations for the popularization of generic products. It was possible to conclude that the actions of dissemination and education by health agencies should be continuous, since they have the purpose of informing the community and thus, contributing to the promotion of health, especially, of the low-income population.

Authors: Jimenez-Torres Jesus Adalberto , Juárez-Muñoz Juana , Capulín-Grande Juan
Published: July 2022

Maguey pulquero (Agave spp.) seedling cultivation is an emerging alternative capable of supply the demand of its diverse products. This research aimed to evaluate the growth and maximum quantum yield of Photosystem II (Fv/Fm) of three landraces of maguey pulquero young plants (10 months-old) germinated from seeds, growing under greenhouse within interaction effect of four substrates and four concentration levels of nutrient solution. The hypothesis was that phenotypic variation of young maguey pulquero landraces growing under greenhouse conditions could help to identify genotypes ideal for commercial production and to elucidate its nutrient and substrate requirements. The variables evaluated were: Fv/Fm, number of leaves, length and width (cm) of biggest leaf, and plant dry biomass (g), the results were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA and means comparison by Tukey’s test. The results demonstrated that Penca larga landrace (Agave mapisaga Trel.) had the highest values in all the growth variables evaluated compared to Manso and Xamini landraces (both A. salmiana Otto ex Salm-Dyck). Penca larga exhibited similar growth in the substrate agricultural soil and volcanic scoria mixture (SVM), and substrate agricultural soil alone (S) regardless of the nutrient solution concentration used, while both A. salmiana landraces exhibited total biomass reduction in the maximum nutrient concentration added in the S substrate (S+L4 treatment) compared to their respective effect on SVM substrate without nutrient addition (SVM+L1 treatment). All landraces exhibited growth inhibition in the commercial substrate mixture (CSM) and volcanic scoria alone (VS) without nutrient addition (CSM+L1 and VS+L1), while growth increase of all landraces in those substrates was relative to the increasing nutrient concentration. Photoinhibition was observed in all landraces in the treatment VS+L1. The growth variations observed across the landraces were helpful to identify potential genotypes ideal for commercial production and to set adequate substrates and nutrient requirements for agave cultivation,

Authors:   Center for Industry, SME and Business Competition Studies Universitas Trisakti
Published: July 2022

The emergence of digital technology (DT) or information and communication technology (ICT) has created a drastic change in business practices which presents a serious challenge to the success of the implementation of the inclusive development strategy in Indonesia. This chapter discusses how the digitalization process occurs in micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Indonesia and what are the main challenges faced by this business group. The study that underlies this chapter focuses on MSEs in the manufacturing industry in Indonesia. It shows that only a very small number of MSEs utilize digital technology, especially e-commerce for marketing, although the percentage varies by industry group. There are some causes, including a lack of insight or knowledge about the importance of digital technology especially in facing competition, limited capital, lack of ICT infrastructure in their area, and entrepreneurs think no need to use the Internet or e-commerce because they only sell their goods in the local market in small amounts.

Published: July 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to establish the relationship between teachers’ welfare and performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.

Methodology: A cross sectional research design and post-positivist paradigm were used to collect data from 118 government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda where 475 respondents participated in the study. The study used closed-ended questionnaires, interview guide and checklists. The schools to be included were selected using simple random sampling and were considered as unit of analysis while the respondents who included District officials, head teachers, teachers and school management committee members formed the unit of enquiry, these were selected purposively based on the knowledge they had on the subject matter. Each school selected, provided the information from the respondents who in this case were the head teacher, two teachers and a chairperson of school management committee member. The research was guided by the null hypothesis, Ho1: Teachers’ welfare has no relationship with performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.

Findings: The findings of the study revealed  a positive significant relationship between teachers’ welfare and performance of government aided performance primary school at 99% level of confidence (r=.546, p<.01), thus rejecting the null hypothesis  (Ho1). The results signify that increase in teachers’ welfare, is highly associated with good performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.

Recommendations: This study recommend the government through the Ministry of Education & Sports to impose the minimum-wage law for government aided primary school teachers’ pay which possibly caters for teachers’ motivation when given some due care and attention. In addition, the Ministry of Education & Sports should create social benefits for government aided primary school teachers as a means to enhance their wellbeing and motivate them. Moreover, it is also recommended that government aided primary schools’ teachers be given some allowances such as rental, medical care and transport to motivate them.

Published: July 2022

Objective: To analyze the knowledge and difficulties in the assistance provided by trauma emergency nurses to patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) in a tertiary hospital located in RecifePE. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a complementary quantitative and qualitative approach that was conducted in the Trauma Emergency Unit of the Hospital da Restauração, RecifePE. Data were collected in June 2021 using a questionnaire that assessed 4 domains of mechanical ventilation knowledge, these being: initial setting of the invasive ventilator and conventional ventilatory modes, monitoring the patient on ventilatory support, nursing care in patients on invasive ventilatory support, and sedation and analgesia during mechanical ventilation. The difficulties were measured by means of open questions at the end of the questionnaire. Inclusion criteria were: being a nurse assistant in the Trauma Emergency Department. Nurses working in administrative positions, on vacation or on leave during the data collection period were excluded. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee through opinion #4.704.572 and all participants previously signed the Informed Consent Form (TCLE). Results: Thirty nurses were analyzed, 80% were women, 43.5% were married and 67% were between 31 and 42 years old. As for the time of training in higher education, 40% revealed having up to 10 years of graduation, without other graduation in 87% of respondents and reported not having a technical course in nursing in 83%. Nursing care to patients on invasive ventilatory support, especially with regard to handling, as well as cleaning and conservation of equipment was deficient among the interviewees. Sedation and analgesia during mechanical ventilation were deficient when the use of neuromuscular blockade for deep sedation and adequate monitoring of the level of consciousness were mentioned. Among the difficulties when assisting the patient under mechanical ventilation, one can include the correct management of the ventilator, as well as the adjustment of its parameters adequate for each patient, ventilator assembly, interpreting the parameters, as well as the existence of high demand, lack of material to maintainadequate sedation of the patient, and prevention of ventilator-related accidents. As a facility, care actions such as assisting the intubation procedure, decubitus monitoring, sedation installation, basic parameters maintenance and endotracheal suctioning were mentioned. Conclusions: The authors suggest that continued education and specific training actions should be implemented to improve the assistance of nurses who assist MV patients in emergency units.

Pedestrian Road Crossing Behavior and Optimal Selection of Pedestrian Facilities at Mid-Block Crossings
Authors: Albert Sandra
Published: July 2022

Pedestrians are considered the most vulnerable of all road users, particularly in developing counties. Therefore, the safety of pedestrians plays a significant role during road crossing. The pedestrian gap acceptance and level of service (LOS) can be used to evaluate pedestrian crossing behavior. The existing statistical models are failed to predict the accurate level of pedestrian safety due to various assumptions. Thus, the objectives of this study are to develop pedestrian crossing behavior models, level of service model, and systematic methodology to select optimal pedestrian crossing facilities at midblock under mixed traffic conditions. The required data were collected from selected six midblock locations in Tiruchirappalli, India, by conducting videographic and questionnaire surveys simultaneously. Various influencing parameters on pedestrian crossing behavior were identified by conducting statistical correlation analysis. First, the pedestrian field critical gap was estimated and compared with various methods such as Raff, Greenshield, Ashworth, and Highway Capacity Manual 2010. The pedestrian gap acceptance model was developed by adopting stepwise multiple linear regression and non-linear artificial neural network methods. The developed models were validated and compared using the field data. The pedestrian LOS model was developed by utilizing the conventional regression method by using qualitative and quantitative data. Pedestrian LOS model was validated using another set of field data. Finally, the approximate solution to find the best crossing facility was found by performing weighting by a ranking method and analytical hierarchy process in all six locations. This study helps in identifying the most significant factors influencing road crossing behavior of pedestrians for the selected locations. The study results help design pedestrian facility and thereby improve pedestrian safety at uncontrolled intersections.

A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA EXPERIMENTAÇÃO NO APRENDIZADO DOS ALUNOS NO ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA: UMA BREVE REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Saudo Ambrósio GOMES
Published: July 2022

Introdução: O tempo histórico vivido atualmente com complexos problemas socioambientais, tem exigido um pensamento mais crítico e reflexivo sobre os métodos usados para o ensino e aprendizagem dos conteúdos de Biologia nas salas de aulas. Para alcançar essa exigência, se faz necessário um ensino inovador, que contextualiza, que vivencia a teoria na prática. Ao problematizar o assunto da experimentação no Ensino de Ciências, principalmente, nas Ciências Biológicas, reconhece-se que experimentar em ciências significa "submeter à experiência" ou "submeter às provas", relacionado a um fato. O objetivo deste trabalho visa analisar quais contribuições do ensino experimental na aprendizagem dos alunos no ensino de Biologia. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, adotou-se uma metodologia de natureza básica, cujo procedimento técnico adotado foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica com uma abordagem qualitativa. O arcabouço analisado inclui um conjunto de artigos científicos levantados, principalmente, no Scielo e Google Acadêmico que tratam sobre a temática. Os resultados desta pesquisa evidenciam que a experimentação tem uma contribuição essencial no ensino e aprendizagem de ciências, no caso específico, Biologia, pois contribui no interesse, na motivação e ajuda os alunos a ter contatos ou visualizar os fenômenos que ocorrem nos objetos do estudo. Além disso, permite que os alunos tenham um conhecimento sólido da ciência e aprendam a manejar os conteúdos ou objetos do estudo nos laboratórios ou no campo para desenvolver as suas capacidades cognitivas e de relacionar os fenômenos biológicos. Permitindo assim que esses tenham capacidades de investigar e propor soluções para problemas mais complexos no futuro. Concluindo-se, o desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico no campo biológico vai além de simples relatos teóricos, mas sim, precisa que haja a relação entre o teórico e o prático, para tal, os docentes devem mergulhar nos estudos e nos planejamentos dos métodos pedagógicos que viabilizem esse diálogo teóricoprático, de forma que permitam que os alunos não só aprendam o conteúdo da Biologia, mas também saber a relação deste nos seus cotidianos.

The Continuum of Care for the Neonate: A Critical Review
Authors: Hillermann Lauren
Published: July 2022

A continuum of care is an integrated system of care that guides and monitors patients throughout their lives as they access a variety of health services. The purpose of this literature review was to identify barriers to care throughout the continuum of care that affect the services provided to neonates. A comprehensive search of electronic databases PUBMED, EBSCOhost Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect was used to identify relevant literature. Furthermore, policy documents from organisations such as the South African National Department of Health, the South African Nursing Council, and the World Health Organisation have been sourced via websites. The review concludes that gaps exist due to a lack of neonatal care facilities, neonatal infrastructure and supplies, and staff shortages despite increased demand for neonatal care. Additionally, institutional issues and policies should be reviewed, as they may contribute to an efficient continuum of neonatal care. Moreover, training specialised healthcare workers is critical to ensuring that neonates receive quality care.

Volcanic stratospheric injections up to 160 Tg(S) yield a Eurasian winter warming indistinguishable from internal variability
Authors: DallaSanta Kevin , Polvani Lorenzo M.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Early observational and modeling work suggested that low-latitude volcanic eruptions, comparable
to the one of Pinatubo in 1991 or Krakatau in 1883, cause substantial surface warming over the
northern continents at mid-latitudes in winter. The proposed mechanism consists of the
formation of an anomalously strong Equator-to-pole temperature gradient in the stratosphere due to
the presence of volcanic aerosols in the tropics, which are accompanied by an acceleration of the
stratospheric polar vortex, which then shifts the Northern Annular Mode into a positive phase,
resulting in warming surface temperatures over Eurasia. However, a large body of research in the past decade has shown that, for eruptions such as
Pinatubo or Krakatau, no such warming is seen in simulations with more recent climate models
which, in general, have much finer vertical and horizontal resolution than the early ones, and
which have separated the forced response from the internal variability by using large ensembles of
integrations. Since the proposed physical mechanism is sound, it is then possible that eruptions
comparable to those of Pinatubo or Krakatau are simply too weak, but even larger ones might indeed be
capable of causing Eurasian surface warming in winter. In this study, we explore this possibility using a state-of-the-art, stratosphere-resolving
climate model, forced with prescribed aerosols from the Easy Volcanic Aerosol protocol. We
consider eruptions with stratospheric sulfur injections of 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 Tg(S). With
20-member ensembles, we find that with injections of 20 Tg(S) or more – roughly twice the
amplitude of the Pinatubo and Krakatau eruptions – our model simulates a winter surface warming over
Eurasia, which is statistically significant with a t test given our 20-member ensembles.
However, the forced volcanic signal on Eurasian winter surface temperatures is very small, barely
exceeding the 1σ range of internal variability for the 160 Tg(S) injection case, and much
smaller for smaller eruptions. Most importantly, the number of eruptions needed to
establish statistical significance is considerably larger than the number of eruptions known to
have occurred in the past 2000 years.

Abstract. For millennia humans have gravitated towards coastlines for their resource potential and as geopolitical centres for global trade. A basic requirement ensuring water security for coastal communities relies on a delicate balance between the supply and demand of potable water. The interaction between freshwater and saltwater in coastal settings is, therefore, complicated by both natural and human-driven environmental changes at the land-sea interface. In particular, ongoing sea level rise, warming and deoxygenation might exacerbate such perturbations. In this context, an improved understanding of the nature and variability of groundwater fluxes across the land-sea continuum is timely, yet remains out of reach. The flow of terrestrial groundwater across the coastal transition zone as well as the extent of freshened groundwater below the present-day seafloor are receiving increased attention in marine and coastal sciences because they likely represent a significant, yet highly uncertain component of (bio)geochemical budgets, and because of the emerging interest in the potential use of offshore freshened groundwater as a resource. At the same time, “reverse” groundwater flux from offshore to onshore is of prevalent socio-economic interest as terrestrial groundwater resources are continuously pressured by overpumping and seawater intrusion in many coastal regions worldwide. An accurate assessment of the land-ocean connectivity through groundwater and its potential responses to future anthropogenic activities and climate change will require a multidisciplinary approach combining the expertise of geophysicists, hydrogeologists, (bio)geochemists and modellers. Such joint activities will lay the scientific basis for better understanding the role of groundwater in societal-relevant issues such as climate change, pollution and the environmental status of the coastal oceans within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we present our perspectives on future research directions to better understand land-ocean connectivity through groundwater, including the spatial distributions of the essential hydrogeological parameters, highlighting technical and scientific developments, and briefly discussing its societal relevance in rapidly changing coastal oceans.
Emulating Aerosol Optics with Randomly Generated Neural Networks

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols have a substantial impact on climate and remain one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate forecasts. Accurate representation of their direct radiative effects is a crucial component of modern climate models. Direct computation of the radiative properties of aerosols is far too computationally expensive to perform in a climate model however, so optical properties are typically approximated using a parameterization. This work develops artificial neural networks (ANNs) capable of replacing the current aerosol optics parameterization used in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). A large training dataset is generated by using Mie code to directly compute the optical properties of a range of atmospheric aerosol populations given a large variety of particle sizes, wavelengths, and refractive indices. Optimal neural architectures for shortwave and longwave bands are identified by evaluating ANNs with randomly generated wirings. Randomly generated deep ANNs are able to outperform conventional multi-layer perceptron style architectures with comparable parameter counts. Finally, the ANN-based parameterization is found to dramatically outperform the current parameterization. The success of this approach makes possible the future inclusion of much more sophisticated representations of aerosol optics in climate models that cannot be captured through simple expansion of the existing parameterization scheme.
Brief Communication: Climate science as a social process – history, climatic determinism, CUDOS und post-normality
Authors: von Storch Hans
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Since ages, the topic of climate – in the sense of “usual weather” – has in the western tradition attracted attention as a possible explanatory factor. Climate, and its purported impact on society, is an integrated element in western thinking and perception. In this lecture, the history of ideas about the climatic impact on humans and society, and the emergence of the ideology of climatic determinism are sketched. This ideology favored the perception of westerners being superior to the people in the rest of the world, giving legitimacy to colonialism. In modern time, when natural sciences instituted self-critical processes (repeatability, falsification) and norms (CUDOS @Merton), the traditional host for climate issues, namely geography, lost its grip, and physics took over. This led to a more systematic, critical, and rigorous approach of building and testing hypotheses and concepts. This gain in methodical rigor, however, went along with the loss of understanding that climate is hardly a key explanatory factor for societal differences and developments. Consequently, the large segments of the field tacitly and unknowingly began reviving the abandoned concept of climatic determinism. Climate science finds itself in a “post-normal” condition, which leads to a frequent dominance of political utility over methodical rigor.

Abstract. From the Hindu Kush mountains to the Registan Desert, Afghanistan is a
diverse landscape where droughts, floods, conflict, and economic market
accessibility pose challenges for agricultural livelihoods and food
security. The ability to remotely monitor environmental conditions is
critical to support decision making for humanitarian assistance. The Famine
Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Land Data Assimilation System
(FLDAS) global and Central Asia data streams provide information on
hydrologic states for routine integrated food security analysis. While
developed for a specific project, these data are publicly available and
useful for other applications that require hydrologic estimates of the water
and energy balance. These two data streams are unique because of their
suitability for routine monitoring, as well as for being a historical record for
computing relative indicators of water availability. The global stream is
available at ∼ 1-month latency, and monthly average outputs are on a
10 km grid from 1982–present. The second data stream, Central Asia (21–56∘ N, 30–100∘ E), at ∼ 1 d latency,
provides daily average outputs on a 1 km grid from 2000–present. This paper
describes the configuration of the two FLDAS data streams, background on the
software modeling framework, selected meteorological inputs and parameters,
and results from previous evaluation studies. We also provide additional
analysis of precipitation and snow cover over Afghanistan. We conclude with
an example of how these data are used in integrated food security analysis.
For use in new and innovative studies that will improve understanding of
this region, these data are hosted by U.S. Geological Survey data portals
and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Central
Asia data described in this paper can be accessed via the NASA
repository at https://doi.org/10.5067/VQ4CD3Y9YC0R (Jacob and Slinski, 2021), and the global data described in this
paper can be accessed via the NASA repository at https://doi.org/10.5067/5NHC22T9375G (McNally, 2018).
Geology uprooted! Decolonising the curriculum for geologists
Authors: Rogers Steven L. , Lau Lisa , Dowey Natasha , Sheikh Hinna , Williams Rebecca
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Geology is colonial. It has a colonial past and a
colonial present. Most of the knowledge that we accept as the modern discipline
of geology was founded during the height of the post-1700 European empire's
colonial expansion. Knowledge is not neutral, and its creation and use can
be damaging to individuals and peoples. The concept of “decolonising the
curriculum” has gathered attention recently, but this concept can be
misunderstood or difficult to engage with for individuals who are not
familiar (or trained to work) with the literature on the issue. This paper
aims to demystify decolonising the curriculum, particularly with respect to
geology. We explain what decolonising the curriculum is and then outline
frameworks and terminology often found in decolonising literature. We
discuss how geology is based on colonised knowledge and what effects this
may have. We explore how we might decolonise the subject and, most
importantly, why it matters. Together, through collaborative networks, we
need to decolonise geology to ensure our discipline is inclusive, accessible
to all, and relevant to the grand challenges facing diverse world societies.
Observations of shoaling internal wave transformation over a gentle slope in the South China Sea

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Four oceanographic moorings were deployed across the South China Sea
continental slope near 21.85∘ N, 117.71∘ E, from 30 May
to 18 July 2014​​​​​​​ for the purpose of observing high-frequency nonlinear
internal waves (NLIWs) as they shoaled across a rough, gently sloping
bottom. Individual waves required just 2 h to traverse the array and
could thus easily be tracked from mooring to mooring. In general, the
amplitude of the incoming NLIWs tracked the fortnightly tidal envelope in
the Luzon Strait; they lagged by 48.5 h and were smaller than the waves
previously observed to the southwest near the Dongsha Plateau. Two types of waves,
a waves and b waves,​​​​​​​ were observed, with the b waves always leading the
a waves by 6–8 h. Most of the NLIWs were remotely generated, but a few
of the b waves formed locally via convergence and breaking at the leading
edge of the upslope-propagating internal tide. Waves incident upon the
moored array with amplitude less than 50 m and energy less than 100 MJ m−1 propagated adiabatically upslope with little change of form. Larger
waves formed packets via wave dispersion. For the larger waves, the kinetic
energy flux decreased sharply upslope between 342 and 266 m, while the
potential energy flux increased slightly, causing an increasing ratio of
potential-to-kinetic energy as the waves shoaled. None of the waves met the
criteria for convective breaking. The results are in rough agreement with
recent theory and numerical simulations of shoaling waves.
