Authors: Zeyad Abdulhamed , Mudhir Ismail Hwaidi , Mustafa Alqaisi
Published: October 2022

Shortage of water is disastrous for crop production. The aim of this work is to obtain a group of maize inbred lines and hybrids that tolerates water deficit and collecting molecular characterizations for selection. This work was conducted in the 2019 and 2020. Five maize pure inbred lines B73, A132, NA30, S7 and DR-B1 were planted according to the design of half-diallel cross-breeding of the second Griffing method, and then 10 hybrids and 5 inbred lines were planted under the impact of irrigation intervals of 5, 10 and 15 days according to the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in split plot with 3 replicates. Results showed significance genotypes responses. The hybrid DR-B1 × S7 recorded the highest means of seed number per row (34.49 seed row-1), weight of 300 seed (80.77 g), and single plant yield (167.2 g). The shortest irrigation interval of 5 days recorded the highest number of seeds per row (35.39 seed row-1) and single plant yield (162.3 g). Similarity analysis showed a highest genetic diversity (lowest genetic similarity) was 0.83 between inbred 4 and 5. The highest genetic divergence (the least genetic similarity) between hybrids and inbred lines was 0.78 in inbred 4 and hybrid 3 x 2, while the highest genetic divergence of 0.92 was found between hybrids of 3 x 1 and 5 x 4. UPGMA analysis showed that inbred 5 (DR-B1) and inbred 4 (S7) in addition to 1×3, 1×2 and 1×4 hybrids high divergence. Therefore, yield components characteristics can be used for selection in breeding programmes and ISSR (inter simple sequence repeats) is a promising and efficient technique in identification of maize genotypes DNA molecular markers for water deficit tolerance selection.
The Effect of Sport Sponsorship on Brand Equity: A Study Within the Context of Professional Soccer
Authors: Hunt James B. , Hunt Tammy G.
Published: October 2022

This study examines the effects of sport sponsorship on brand equity. More precisely, the impact of sport sponsorship is assessed for each of Aaker’s (1991) components of brand equity: brand personality; brand awareness; brand associations; perceived quality; brand loyalty. Research is conducted within the domain of a sports team sponsorship, specifically Nivea Men’s sponsorship of Liverpool Football Club. The results demonstrate that all five components of brand equity are positively influenced by sport sponsorship, ultimately supporting the proposition that sport sponsorship has a positive impact on brand equity. While sponsorship may not by itself be sufficient for brand equity building or sales enhancement, sponsors should be able to leverage their association with the team to promote their benefits and motivate fan engagement.

Bogowie jak ludzie. Ludzkie cechy i umiejętności bogów starożytnego Bliskiego Wschodu. Część I
Authors: Sieradzan Jacek
Published: October 2022

Biblical texts attribute the same activities and features to biblical gods Yahweh and Jesus, as texts of Ancient Near East attribute to other, non-biblical gods. These texts are mostly older than biblical ones. Almost all features and activities of non-biblical gods have been transfered to biblical gods. It means that Ancient Near East religious thinkers shared mostly common worldview. Our analysis undermines opinion of uniqueness of Judaism and Christianity. Such view is false, it is creation of Jewish and Christian theologians. One cannot find supprot to the view in written sources.
Jak folk pamięta o folklorze? Uwikłania wyobraźni w pamięci i mitach o kulturze ludowej
Authors: Mirowski Paweł
Published: October 2022

This paper highlights the phenomenon of folk music in terms of a medium of cultural memory. The imaginaires about it are based on the Slavic and folk myth which shaped the forms of expressing folklore over the past two centuries. It is an attempt to switch the discussion from whether folk is able to have a positive influence in traditional folklore preservation, into the sphere of the identitiy issue. Folk music does not necessarily have to evoke the established Polish identity related to folk culture, but it gives an immediate sense of community, at supranational level, including the interslavic one.
Democracy and Institutional Political Subjectness: Comparative Study for Europe and Central Asia
Authors: Natalina Nataliia
Published: October 2022

This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of political institutions in different types of regimes through indicators of their political subjectness, namely governance effectiveness, government’s future orientation and institutional trust. The correlation between these indicators and the level of democratisation for 50 countries in Europe and Central Asia as of 2021 and in the dynamics of the last 15 years is calculated on the basis of a broad empirical database. The influence of new world order trends, such as the development of a network society, the digitalisation of the political field and the influence of international financial institutions, on institutional political subjectness is explored. The author concludes that consolidated democracies and autocracies have a higher level of political subjectness than hybrid regimes. Democracies are more effective in governance, but autocracies are more perceived by their citizens as capable of providing political stability and a long-term vision for the future. As a result, autocratic regimes have a higher dynamic of institutional trust. Hybrid regimes demonstrate a greater propensity for authoritarian political institutions and traditions than for democratic ones.
An expedition of Henry II, King of Germany, to the domain of Bolesław I the Brave in 1005 in the light of written sources and historical re-enactment
Authors: Danielewski Marcin
Published: October 2022

The article explores an expedition of Henry II, king of Germany, to the domain of Bolesław the Brave in 1005. While the issue has raised considerable interest in academic literature, the analyses have been carried out mainly in the context of major events i.e. the wars of 1002-1005, 1007-1013 and 1015-1018. In this work, an attempt has been made to narrow down the perspective to Henry II’s expedition of 1005 which reached as far as Poznań. To this end, I have analysed the written sources (specifically the records of Thietmar of Merseburg, a German chronicler) in an effort to indicate not only the expedition’s itinerary but also its rate and the state of preparation of the two major parties of the conflict, the German Reich and the Piast dominion. In addition, I have decided to make use of my experience of historical re-enactment in a pioneering way, in order to find out if the rate of the marching maintained by contemporary re-enactors of historical events provides a good comparison background for the rate of Henry II’s expedition of 1005. Next, archaeological sources provided some supplementary information on the conflict of 1005. In the light of all these data I have managed to adopt a different and unique approach to the analysed issue.
Animalia tantum
. The “ritual role” of animals in Middle Bronze Age funerary contexts in the highlands
Authors: Cesaretti Andrea
Published: October 2022

Animal burials are very common in the ancient world; the practice was widespread and had different meanings, ranging from offerings to the deceased to ritual banquets. Archaeology can only partially reconstruct the multitude of symbols connected with human burials associated with the interment of animals. In Armenia, and more generally in the Southern Caucasus, between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC, during the protohistoric period known as the Middle Bronze Age, the burials were by typically covered by a mound, locally known as a kurgan. One of the most significant features of the deposition is the presence of numerous wild and domestic animals. This paper analyses the interment of animals from a symbolic perspective and puts forward hypotheses regarding their role in human burial customs.
China’s Response to War in Ukraine
Authors: Chestnut Greitens Sheena
Published: October 2022

Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine in February 2022 posed challenges for the People’s Republic of China and its priorities. This article assesses the Chinese party-state’s response across four dimensions: informational, diplomatic, economic, and military-strategic. Beijing has been most supportive of Moscow in the informational and diplomatic arenas; its economic posture has been mostly self-interested, and military support for Russia has remained more or less constant. China’s stance on the conflict in Ukraine appears to be shaped by several factors: a perceived need to counter the United States; the desire to support Russia while minimizing the costs of doing so to Chinese interests; China’s desire for internal political stability and particular features of its domestic political system that affect foreign policy decision-making; and Beijing’s evolving assessments of what the Ukraine conflict might foretell for Taiwan. The article summarizes China’s interests at the time the conflict began, outlines the party-state’s response, and assesses potential explanations for that response, with specific attention to implications for Taiwan.
Reimagining the Borderland
Authors: Salazar Mónica
Published: October 2022

In these Dialogues, Lorna Dillon brings together essays that explore the relationship between fiber art and social justice in Latin America. The authors discuss Chilean arpilleras, needlework projects and the struggle for peace in Colombia, the Mexican Embroidering for Peace Movement, and Margarita Cabrera’s fabric sculptures about the US-Mexico borderlands. The section brings the work of scholars from different regions into dialogue. Beatriz Elena Arias López, Berit Bliesemann de Guevara, and Berena Torres Marín reflect on textile initiatives undertaken by peace signatories of the former guerrilla group FARC. Mathilda Shepard analyzes the work of the Tejedoras de Mampuján, asking what it means to speak of justice, reparations, and reconciliation in the wake of the plantation. Danielle House reflects on Mexican embroidery. She considers violence in Mexico and the way the victims it consumes have been framed as “ungrievable.” Mónica Salazar discusses symbolic resistance in participatory needlework projects about the US-Mexico border. Dillon writes about Chilean arpilleras and Colombian testimonial textiles. She draws parallels among the different artistic practices discussed in the collected essays, tracing the emergence of a supranational artistic movement that generates meaning through a multiplicity of practices. The Dialogues demonstrate the new signifying processes that these needlework groups use, as well as the way they articulate meanings that extend beyond the stitches and semiotics of their clothwork.
INFLUENCE OF INITIAL STATE OF CHITOSAN MEMBRANES ON THEIR SEPARATION PROPERTIES IN PERVAPORATIVE DEHYDRATION
Authors:   The Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute for Engineering of Polymer Materials and Dye, Gnus Małgorzata
Published: October 2022

In this study, membranes from chitosan with different molecular weights (175-230 kDa) and degree of deacetylation (92%-98%) were prepared and dehydration of a ethanol-water azeotropic mixture by pervaporation on membranes in the swollen and dry initial state was investigated. The influence of chitosan characteristics and the effect of the initial membrane state on separation properties are discussed. The structure of the obtained membranes changed during the drying process and affected the membrane transport parameters and time to membrane stabilisation. The impact of chitosan characteristics on the transport parameters depended on the initial membrane state. The chitosan molecular weight influenced ethanol transport, whereas the chitosan degree of deacetylation affected water transport. In addition, chitosan with the lowest molecular weight improved the separation properties of the membranes.
INFLUENCE OF SELECTED POLYMERS ON PHARMACEUTICAL: PROPERTIES OF MUCOSAL SYSTEMS CONTAINING ACYCLOVIR
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, The ‘Silesian Piasts’ Memorial Medical University of Wroclaw, Grimling Bożena
Published: October 2022

The aim of this paper was to formulate the composition of a bioadhesive film obtained based on acyclovir incorporated into natural bioadhesive polymers (chitosan and guar gum) in different quantitative ratios. To this end, the author developed a technology for preparing films containing various quantitative ratios of chitosan to guar gum: 1:0.25; 1:0.50; 1:0.75; 1:1; and 1.2:0.50. The formulations were used to prepare mucoadhesive films containing 2% acyclovir. The dressings were tested with respect to their physicochemical properties and subjected to dissolution testing. A comparative analysis of Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of pure polymers, acyclovir, and films containing polymers in different quantitative ratios was conducted. The quantitative ratio of chitosan to guar gum significantly impacted the mechanical properties of films: texture, elasticity, tensile strength, swelling, and blur time of the testes carriers. The 1:1 formulation showed the highest mechanical strength and flexibility. The dressing containing 1.2% chitosan and 0.5% guar gum had the longest blur time. An increase in the chitosan content in the formulation significantly affected the drug dissolution parameters, which makes it possible to achieve the desired effect of extended-release time. The FT-IR spectra excluded the formation of drug-polymer interactions. Changes in the quantitative ratios of chitosan and guar game in the carrier’s composition may impact the mechanical properties of the drug formulation and changes in the parameters of active substance release.
EFFECT OF IONIC AND COVALENT CROSSLINKING OF HYDROGEL CHITOSAN BEADS ON THE ADSORPTION EFFICIENCY OF BASIC VIOLET 10 AND BASIC GREEN 4 DYES FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Authors: Jóźwiak Tomasz , Filipkowska Urszula , Filipkowska Magdalena
Published: October 2022

This work investigated the adsorption efficiency of Basic Violet 10 (BV10)and Basic Green 4 (BG4) dyes on ionically and covalently crosslinked chitosan hydrogel beads. The tested ionic crosslinkers were sodium citrate, sodium tripolyphosphate, and sulphosuccinic acid, while the covalent crosslinkers were glutaraldehyde, epichlorohydrin, and trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether. The scope of the work included investigation of the effect of pH on the adsorption efficiency of dyes and the maximum adsorption capacity of crosslinked chitosan adsorbents. The maximum adsorption capacity of the non-crosslinked chitosan adsorbent was 2.94 mg/g and 44.32 mg/g for BV10 and BG4, respectively. Ionic crosslinking, regardless of the type of crosslinking agent, reduced the adsorption ability of hydrogel chitosan adsorbents in relation to cationic dyes (Qmax = 1.84-2.49 mg/g for BV10; 37.21-38.90 mg/g for BG4). Covalent crosslinking of chitosan slightly increased its adsorption capacity only for BV10 (Qmax = 3.59-3.81 mg/g for BV10; 39.15-40.62 mg/g for BG4).

Current chitosan extraction methods require a highly concentrated alkaline solvent that is costly and environmentally unfriendly. This study aimed to assess the potential of using subcritical liquid deproteination to produce amorphous chitin to reduce the alkaline concentration during the deacetylation step to obtain high-quality chitosan. A combination of microwave-assisted demineralisation, subcritical liquid (SL) deproteination, and conventional deacetylation was employed for chitosan production. Distilled water and 2% and 4% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used at subcritical liquid treatment temperatures of 100 to 250°C. Meanwhile, deacetylation using 20%-50% NaOH was attempted on the deproteinised chitin. 1.8 M hydrochloric acid at a 1:10 solid-to-liquid solvent ratio produced chitin with acceptable quality during microwave-assisted demineralisation. Demineralised chitin subjected to SL treatment at 150°C and 4% NaOH had the best protein removal (84.6%). Chitosan with a high degree of deacetylation (80.68%) was obtained at a lower alkalinity of 30% NaOH, derived from SL-deproteinised chitin (4% NaOH at 100°C). The crystallinity of chitin after SL treatment was reduced significantly from 72.4% to 59.4%, which allows easier access for the solvent to hydrolyse the acetamide bond. This study confirms that good quality chitosan can be produced by utilising SL treatment of demineralised chitin at a significantly short time and lower deacetylation solvent concentration.

Repatriación en Latinoamérica durante la pandemia: drama humanitario y derechos humanos
Authors: Gaete Quezada Ricardo
Published: October 2022

El artículo analiza las medidas gubernamentales implementadas por Chile y El Salvador durante la pandemia, para gestionar la repatriación de los connacionales y ciudadanos residentes que quedaron varados en el extranjero producto del cierre de fronteras, decisión impuesta por los gobiernos a nivel mundial como medida de contención de la crisis sanitaria generada por el covid-19 en sus territorios. La restricción al libre tránsito de las personas a través de las fronteras provocó en varios países de la región un drama humanitario adicional a los devastadores efectos de la crisis sanitaria global, por lo que el presente trabajo examina dicha problemática desde la cobertura otorgada por los medios de comunicación latinoamericanos a los procesos de repatriación de chilenos y salvadoreños como casos de estudio, mediante un análisis documental de tipo cualitativo de las noticias sobre las principales dificultades y consencuencias generadas por dicho drama humanitario. Una conclusión importante del estudio reconoce la relevancia de la capacidad administrativa, logística y comunicacional que deben desarrollar las misiones diplomáticas de los países latinoamericanos, así como la preeminencia de los derechos humanos en las relaciones internacionales para enfrentar más responsablemente la crisis migratoria ocasionada por el cierre de fronteras por razones sanitarias.

Published: October 2022

Los contratos inteligentes han ganado más terreno en las industrias en sus procesos debido a la  confiabilidad de la tecnología Blockchain o cadena de bloques, dado que brinda la seguridad en las transacciones; todo esto conlleva un desafío y es el cómo se certifica el proceso y a su vez brindar confiabilidad, para ello debe pasar por procesos o estándares de calidad que actualmente son de alta competencia dado a que es una tecnología innovadora y nueva en el mercado. Sin duda alguna el termino de calidad hace referencia a lo que permite caracterizar o valorar ya sea un producto o servicio, desde esta perspectiva la calidad sea vuelto undesafío para las industrias y se han conformado grupos focales en cómo lograr que los productos lleguen a los estándares que se requiere paraque el producto o servicio cuente con el mínimo viable para su aprobación. De esta manera la calidad no solo les compete a las industrias sino también a las instituciones de educación que es donde segesta o se formula los lineamientos de calidad. A partir de lo anterior se considera que, si la gestión del conocimiento entre las instituciones deeducación y la industria trabajan en mejorar la calidad en la certificación inteligente apoyándose en la tecnología Blockchain, se pueden mejorar los procesos y cumplir con estándares donde se logre ser más competitivos a nivel nacional e internacional.

Aproximaciones al concepto de gobernanza universitaria: una revisión desde la normativa colombiana
Authors: González-Gil Eduardo , Carreño Dueñas Dalia
Published: October 2022

Lo propio de las universidades, es que se conformen en centros de creación y producción de conocimiento y, por lo tanto, de conceptos. De ahí que es oportuno y conveniente, como es el objetivo de este proyecto, proponer una posible noción de la gobernanza universitaria, como concepto derivado, polisémico, en centro de tensiones, pero, a la vez, posee un carácter abierto, complejo, paradigmático (por su polisemia) y sin duda, por su naturaleza, crítico. Las instituciones universitarias se hallan organizadas, poseen un gobierno y una gestión, lo que les facilita las relaciones de poder con la comunidad, con los actores que lidera, y la presencia e interrelación en el medio externo. La aproximación al concepto de gobernanza universitaria, como pregunta que se resuelve en este trabajo, lo define como el ejercicio de integración  del gobierno institucional, la gobernabilidad y la gestión para garantizar la interacción de los grupos de interés para el logro de la misión institucional y la interacción con el entorno. Algunos aspectos que conforman, su arquitectura son los que se refieren al gobierno universitario, la gobernabilidad universitaria, la gestión y la política de buen gobierno. La metodología es de carácter documental, reconstructivo y hermenéutico dentro del diseño cualitativo.

Hybrid electric vehicles are new technologies that will be used in future transportation networks in response to the need for sustainable development of environmentally friendly processes. Some of the energy sources used to develop these vehicles are batteries and proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells (FCs), which cannot guarantee the energy required for life in the long term. Electricity storage systems (ESSs) such as the Ultra Batteries (UBs) are suitable candidates for solving the FC transient response issues. The combination of FCs and UBs in electric vehicles is called Fuel Cell Batteries Electric Vehicles (FCBEVs). In this work, an energy consumption model is adopted to simulate the performance of a FCBEV, by considering the power losses of various components, such as the FC, electric motor, the state of charge (SOC) of the battery, and breaks as well as by implementing a reinforcement-learning energy management strategy (EMS), pursuing this scope through the optimization of the hydrogen fuel consumption. In this regard, the motor prototype, after a transient period of around 2.5 min, was able to reach a number of runs equal to 2000, remaining stable for 10 min before coming down to zero.

In the current study, a novel high-performance liquid chromatographic method is being developed and validated to estimate benidipine hydrochloride in lipid-based pharmaceutical formulations including transfersome, ethosome, and transethosome. The chromatographic separation was accomplished on a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 (4.6mm x 150mm) analytical column with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of methanol and 50 mM phosphate buffer solution at a ratio of 70:30 (v/v). A standard calibration curve was used to quantitatively determine the medication at a UV wavelength of 237 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined to be 0.005µg/ml and 0.015µg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation (%RSD) of the intra-day and inter-day studies for benidipine hydrochloride was less than 2%, and the percentage recovery of benidipine hydrochloride was found to be in the range of 98.57-100.27%. The method is specific, linear, accurate, precise, robust, and sensitive for its intended purpose, according to the results of the method validation. To determine the amount of benidipine hydrochloride and the effectiveness of drug entrapment in lipid-based formulated membrane like cell structures namely Transfersomes, Ethosomes, and Transethosomes the current method was successfully applied.
Malraux and Gary Mythomaniacs
Authors: Laurent Thierry
Published: October 2022

Mythomania is not an isolated pathology in psychiatry: it is mixed with other mental disorders. It is not always easy to assess their seriousness or to differentiate them from banal lies; when someone invents a life other than his own without realizing it, he can be called a mythomaniac. Autobiographical literature contains many texts where truth rubs shoulders with fiction; some writers even have a reputation as great storytellers. Malraux and Gary are among them: both in books and in public statements, they shaped their own legend when their lives were already exceptionally rich, even romantic; they practiced autofiction before the letter. It is likely that their dissatisfaction with reality and existential anxieties have fueled this permanent need to falsify self-talk. Malraux mainly practiced self-heroization while Gary, much more capable of self-mockery, had fun wearing different masks and imitating the chameleon.

The progression of a severe accident in nuclear reactors is composed by a diversity of phenomena that areBeyond Design Basis, such as Direct Containment Heating (DCH), Molten Corium Concrete Interaction(MCCI), hydrogen detonation, and others. Currently, there are several devices and systems that allowmitigating the progression of this events, avoiding the failure of the physical barriers between the nuclearpower plant and the environmental. In this context, the present work aims to reproduce the HR-14experiment carried out at the Thermal-hydraulic, Hydrogen, Aerosols and Iodine (THAI) test facility throughthe Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PAR) performance assessment with the COCOSYS code. The analysisof the convergence of the results was performed using the Fast Fourier Transform Based Method (FFTBM)and showed that the results had sufficient accuracy with the experimental data.

The article consists, through a Severe Accident, evaluating the impact of radionuclides released into the atmosphere in the vicinity at Nuclear Power Plant. The source term used in present work is obtained by means of proportionality between Angra 1 and Angra 2. That is, the source term of Angra 2 is calculated based on its activity estimated from numbers of fuel pellets of both power plants and the already known activity of Angra 1. This calculation resulted in total activity of Angra 2 equivalent to 146.18% of activity of Angra 1. The results indicate that for severe accident scenarios, the protective measures to be adopted will be general emergency; and the impact area, which currently has a distance of 5 km, would become greater than this value.
Comparison of Estimates of Costs involved between two Decommissioning Strategies for PWR type Nuclear Power Plants

Published: October 2022

This work compares the project costs of two possible decommissioning strategies for a hypothetical nuclear site with similar characteristics to the CNAAA reactors. The cost of the process is sensitive to the type of strategy adopted, as the type of strategy involves the duration of the process. Defining project strategy/duration and estimating cost are part of a coupled problem. Thus, decommissioning cost is a relevant step and needs to be rigorously defined before starting the decommissioning process, as demobilizing teams/equipment, and remobilizing entail extra costs. Cost estimates follow the Av-Descom model. Tool easily implemented by a spreadsheet-like code. Among the stages of the two strategies presented, the one with the greatest impact on the cost of the project is the stage referring to the transition period comprised by the decontamination tasks of the systems, equipment, and structure of the deactivated NPP. This step exposes workers to radiation doses and to the greatest occupational hazards. It was observed that the cost variation from one strategy to another is above 50% of the total cost of the project. It was concluded that defining the best decommissioning strategy is complex and important to be defined from the beginning of the decommissioning process. It was inferred that the strategy that best fits the Brazilian reality is the delayed decommissioning.

Since the Fukushima Daiichi accident, external events analysis has become a priority issue within regulatory bodies, operators, and designers, raising concerns about the capabilities of nuclear power plants to withstand severe conditions.
Generally, the methodology applied to the Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) of external events consists of the identification of potential single and combined external hazards, screening of external hazards, analysis of site and plant response, analysis of initiating events and quantification of accident sequences probabilities.
Therefore, in this paper, the requirements and other information on new nuclear installations projects necessary to implement a comprehensive PSA of external events throughout plant lifetime are evaluated.
In addition, it is necessary to clearly identify all the resources that must be available to continuously expand PSA scope to include all types of initiating events, levels of analysis and plant operation modes.

Studies on the sustainability of aquaculture have been carried out around the world. The input of organic matter in the sediment and the influence of current velocity on the deposition of particles produced by fish in captivity can be used to assess the distribution of benthic assemblages below marine farms. Sediment and benthic organisms were collected in April, September and December 2019 and in August and October 2020 in the fish farming area and in two control areas in the Bananal cove in Ilha Grande Bay. The measurement of the speed of local currents was carried out below the net-tank, in periods of 24 days in of April and July 2019. The heterogeneity of the biological data was evident between the collection points, indicating that several factors can influence the distribution of benthic macrofauna. There was no correlation between the values of organic matter and species richness and for organic matter and species diversity. The values of the Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) for the three collection stations were smaller than 1 (one), that is, there was a predominance of species sensitive to pollution and organic enrichment. The marine farm and the control areas were considered an unpolluted environment. The results also indicated that the local currents presented insufficient intensities to disperse the organic matter produced in the marine farm to the control areas.
