Determining LoA between Left Ventricular EF estimated from Abarquez Formula and Left Ventricular EF measured by 2D Echo
Authors: Timbol John Carlo B
Published: September 2020

Background: The Abarquez formula (aVR QRS amplitude x 2.264) + (age x 0.645) has been offered to provide an estimate for LVEF measured by 2D Echo. However, studies aiming to establish agreement between the Abarquez formula and LVEF measured by 2D Echo are lacking.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the LVEF estimated from 12-lead ECG using the Abarquez formula with the LVEF measured using the 2DED in the following subpopulations: 18-35 years old, 36-60 years old, >60 years old, male, and female patients. To compare these two measurements, the limits of agreement (LoA) by Altman and Bland was used.
Materials and Methods: Adult patients admitted in the VLMC from January to May 2019 with both a 12-lead ECG and a 2D Echo were included in the study. LVEF from 2D Echo and LVEF estimated using the Abarquez formula were recorded. Comparison of the two measurements was performed by Altman and Bland method using LoA at 95% confidence interval. This analysis was done using Analyse-It Software. Comparison of the mean differences between the two measurement methods was also done using STATA.
Results: LVEF estimate using the Abarquez formula was found to significantly differ from LVEF measured using 2D Echo.
Conclusions: The Abarquez formula cannot be used as a surrogate for LVEF measure by 2D Echo.

Published: September 2020

Background: There had been many studies depicting variations in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Nepal ranging from 1.4% to 19%. However, the pooled prevalence was found to be 8.4%. There are only few studies done till date in our part of the world to study the actual prevalence and determinants of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus ( DM-2) in people residing in mountains.
Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted with to estimate the prevalence and determinants of diabetes mellitus among the high-altitude populationin Jomsom district of Nepal.
Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in Jomsom district of Nepal, at an altitude of 2743 meters on 4th and 5thof June, 2017 . A detailed history from the participants of their past medical illness including diabetes mellitus and hypertension was taken. In addition, blood sugar level, blood pressure, anthropometric variables like weight, height, BMI, Waist, Hip, Waist/hip ratio were documented after the verbal consent of the participants.
Results: A total of 617 local residents of Jomsom were enrolled in the study. The mean age of study population was 44.4±17. 6 years with female to male ratio being 1.15:1 (53.5% vs 46.5% male). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was found to be 5.2%, which was significantly lower than the overall prevalence of diabetes in the Nepalese population which is 8.4%. Male population was found to have higher prevalence of diabetesin our study. Higher BMI and waist/hip ratio were also associated with increased incidence of diabetes mellitus. This study revealed that compared with individuals with a normal BMI, individuals who were overweight or obese were more likely to be diagnosed with DM-2 (OR [95%CI]: ranging from 4.33 [0.96–19.46] for overweight adults to 7.76 [1.76–34.13] for adults in Obesity.
Conclusion: The overall prevalence of diabetes mellitus is lower among the individuals residing in higher altitude compared to the general population although the other determinants are comparable.

Authors: Biswas Biswajit , Laha Sumanta , Sil Archan , Das Mousumi , Mondal Shibnath , Kumar Raveesh , Biswas Priyanka , Sarkar Santi
Published: September 2020

Childhood masturbation/self-gratification behaviour means self-stimulation of the genitals by an immature child. Literature on this topic is scarce and scattered. Though most of the paediatricians seem to know about this entity, precise knowledge on spectrum of different behavioural patterns these children may show is lacking. Masturbatory activity in infants and young children is difficult to recognise because it often does not involve manual stimulation of the genitalia at all. We hereby report a series of 3 cases of childhood masturbation where direct genital manipulation, a very rare manifestation, was evident during gratification spells.

Authors: Mandal Apurba , Chattopadhyay Shibram , Mondal Sushanta , Biswas Arunava
Published: September 2020

Background: Adnexal mass is a common presentation in today’s gynecological practice. The incidence of ovarian cancer is increasing day by day and diagnosis is often difficult to be made pre operatively with inadequate surgical exploration is a regular occurrence.
Aims and Objectives: To assess and validate the importance of RMI-3 score as pre-operative diagnostic tool of differentiating benign from malignant adnexal mass for starting first line therapy of ovarian cancer and to find out the incidences of ovarian malignancy among study population.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics on (n=115) patients attending GOPD and indoor with adnexal mass fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria using purposive sampling technique. All the selected cases underwent ultrasonography and serum CA- 125 level estimation necessary for calculating RMI score. A score of >200 was taken as suggestive of malignancy and confirmatory diagnosis was performed by histopathological examination obtained from staging laparotomy of adnexal mass. The individual scores were then correlated with final outcomes with statistical analyses.
Results: The study revealed benign ovarian tumors are more under 50 years (78.46%) and patients with normal BMI are diagnosed with maximum of malignancy (n = 28). History of tubal ligation carried less risk of malignancy (p<0.0001). Histologically malignant tumors found mostly in 71.4% postmenopausal group whereas 94.1% benign pathology were present in perimenopausal group and there is no association found between parity and histopathology (p=0.058). Bilateral (p=0.013), multilocular (p=0.000) tumors with solid areas (p<0.0001) and thick papillary projections (p<0.0001) had statistically significant association with malignant lesions. RMI score (>200) had more efficacy than serum CA-125 level (>46) in differentiating malignant lesions from benign one in terms of specificity (96% vs 83.87%) and positive predictive value (95% vs 79.17%).
Conclusions: RMI-3 score is a simple, reliable and effective tool in differentiating benign from malignant adnexal masses thereby help in quick referral and management of cases with increase chances of survival of the patients.

The classical and modified equations of Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami are compared with the equations of conventional Gompertz andMontijano-Bergues-Bory-Gompertz, in the frame of growth kinetics of tumors. For this, different analytical and numerical criteria are usedto demonstrate the similarity between them, in particular the distance of Hausdorff. The results show that these equations are similar fromthe mathematical point of view and the parameters of the Gompertz equation are explicitly related to those of the Avrami equation. It isconcluded that Modified Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami and Montijano-Bergues-Bory-Gompertz equations can be used to describe thegrowth kinetics of unperturbed tumors.
Hidden attractors from the switching linear systems
Authors: Delgado-Aranda F. , Campos-Cantón I. , Tristán-Hernández E. , Salas-Castro P.
Published: September 2020

Recently, chaotic behavior has been studied in dynamical systems that generates hidden attractors. Most of these systems have quadratic nonlinearities. This paper introduces a new methodology to develop a family of three-dimensional hidden attractors from the switching of linear systems. This methodology allows to obtain strange attractors with only one stable equilibrium, attractors with an infinite number of equilibria or attractors without equilibrium. The main matrix and the augmented matrix of every linear system are considered in Rouché-Frobenius theorem to analyze the equilibrium of the switching systems. Also, a systematic search assisted by a computer is used to find the chaotic behavior. Basic chaotic properties of the attractors are verified by the Lyapunov exponents.

Digital cultural heritage: Collaborating with students and discovering lost museums
Authors: Schuster Kristen , Grainger Jacqui
Published: September 2020

Our paper consists of two parts. First, we review the history of the Royal United Service Institute (RUSI) museum, its collections, its closure and the dispersal of its collections. Second, we synthesize this analysis with a summary and reflection on the challenges of undertaking a collective memory project that represents the rise and fall of empire. To synthesize these two points, we discuss the museum’s history and highlight how digital cultural heritage initiatives have catalyzed an interest in digitizing and archiving RUSI’s collection records. Following our review of RUSI and its museum collection, we discuss the value of academics forming partnerships with cultural heritage institutions, and we analyze our experiences managing two student projects hosted at RUSI. Our discussion of student work will reflect on methods for designing engaging curriculum that encourages students to practice record keeping for cultural heritage institutions.
Africanisation of the South African archival curriculum: A preliminary study of undergraduate courses in an open distance e-learning environment
Authors: Ngoepe Mpho , Saurombe Nampombe
Published: September 2020

Educators and archivists in Africa have repeatedly raised the need for redeveloping university curricula to reflect local and global best practice. An African education curriculum case study by the InterPARES project (2013–2018) that covered 38 countries out of 54 revealed the existence of few available archival training programmes in the continent. Literature further reveals that where educational programmes are available, the curriculum is mostly Eurocentric and thereby addresses archival issues from a Western perspective. As a result, the infinite problems facing archivists on the continent such as resources, skills, technology, infrastructure, advocacy, holdings, collaboration, displaced archives and many more (the list is endless) are not fully engaged. The archival programmes at the institution of higher learning appear not to address grand societal challenges such as unaccountability, poor governance, service delivery, as well as the low usage of archives repositories in the continent. In South Africa, there has been a call to use African epistemologies such as Ubuntu, a philosophy that provides an African overview of societal relations or the Batho Pele, principles adopted by the post-apartheid South African government to guide and direct its public service and address imbalances of the apartheid regime. This study utilised the Africanisation pillar of Sibanda (2016)’s model to analyse the infusion of curriculum transformation into the ten modules for archives and records management in an open distance e-learning (ODeL) environment. In this regard, the content of ten archives and records management modules for a bachelor’s degree in an ODeL environment is analysed to explore the transformation of archival curriculum. Only one university in South Africa offers a fully-fledged bachelor’s degree with a major in archives and records management. The study established that an attempt was made to transform the archival curriculum at study material development and module delivery level. This resulted in a missed opportunity to transform archival curriculum in the development of the new bachelor’s degree being implemented in 2017. The study concludes by arguing that failure to decolonise the archival curriculum will result in archivists being highly unlikely to contribute to solutions to societal problems that are difficult to solve confronting South Africa using local solutions. It is recommended that transformation of the curriculum should start at a programme level rather than module level.

Reliability and characterisation of the 20-maximum trampoline jump test
Authors: Dyas Natalie , Green David , Thomas Kevin , Howatson Glyn
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:

The 20-maximum trampoline jump test is a commonly used performance measure in competitive trampoline gymnastics. However, its reliability and characteristics are poorly understood.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the reliability of the 20-maximum trampoline jump test and describe its characteristics.

METHODS:

Thirty-two national and international level trampoline gymnasts (18 [Formula: see text] 5 years) performed two, 20-maximal straight jump tests, separated by 24–72 hours. Time of flight (total, jumps 1–10 and jumps 11–20), force (average and peak), horizontal displacement and contact time were measured by a competition standard system. Test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), typical error, and coefficient of variation (CV).

RESULTS:

Total time of flight significantly decreased between trial 1 (31.80 [Formula: see text] 1.98 s) and trial 2 (31.43 [Formula: see text] 1.99 s; [Formula: see text] 0.05), however test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC [Formula: see text] 0.96, CV [Formula: see text] 1.3%). Other time of flight and force measures significantly decreased from trial 1 to trial 2, whereas contact time increased. All secondary measures displayed very high ICC (0.95–0.99) and low CV values (0.5–1.9%), except horizontal displacement (ICC [Formula: see text] 0.54, CV [Formula: see text] 20.6%).

CONCLUSION:

The 20-maximum test possesses excellent reliability for the assessment of trampoline performance in a wide population of national and international level gymnasts.

Questioning the legitimacy of data
Authors: boyd danah
Published: September 2020

This paper is based upon the closing keynote presentation that was given by danah boyd at the inaugural NISO Plus conference held from February 23–25, 2020 in Baltimore, MD (USA). It focuses on how data are used, and how they can be manipulated to meet specific objectives – both good and bad. The paper reinforces the importance of understanding the biases and limitations of any data set. Topics covered include data quality, data voids, data infrastructures, alternative facts, and agnotology. The paper stresses that data become legitimate because we collectively believe that those data are sound, valid, and fit for use. This not only means that there is power in collecting and disseminating data, but also that there is power in interpreting and manipulating the data. The struggle over data’s legitimacy says more about our society – and our values – than it says about the data itself.
Eddy current loss and its magnetization effect of electromagnetic buffer under intensive impact load
Authors: Li Zixuan , Yang Guolai , Liu Ning
Published: September 2020

In this paper, a high-energy density electromagnetic buffer (EMB) is studied and analysed for the violent acceleration and high velocity of intensive impact loads. First, the design requirements of the EMB are proposed to select reasonable structure and magnetic circuit parameters. The equivalent current model is used to introduce the primary eddy current affected by demagnetization effect and the induced secondary eddy current. The magnetization process is studied by dividing the conductor tube into the approach end and the departure end. Considering the nonlinear damping and eddy current interaction between primary and secondary, a primary-secondary eddy current loss coupled nonlinear time-step finite element model (FEM) is established to obtain the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of eddy current. Finally, a test experiment with weak impact, medium impact and intensive impact was carried out. The measured displacement, velocity, damping force, and time nodes responses during buffering are consistent with the established time-step FEM results. The proposed high-energy density EMB can effectively complete the impact buffering process. It is reasonable to obtain the eddy current loss and its magnetization law from the established FEM which is suitable for shock buffering with different impulse strength.
Thermal analysis and optimization of the electronic crates of Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
Authors: Yan Fayi
Published: September 2020

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a particle-physics detector from a module attached to the outside of the International Space Station (ISS). The temperature of the components in AMS-02 must be kept within their different operational ranges but also must be stable over both time and volume. Thermal modeling and simulations for the radiator and the electronic crates of AMS-02 were carried out by applying the Crank–Nicholson implicit solution. Based on reducing the temperature gradient of the radiator and the mass of the thermal control system, the layout of the heat pipes in the radiator was optimized to solve the overheating issue of the electronic crates. The non-operational and operational temperature dissipation for the thermal control system was calculated. The analysis results for the radiator and the electronic crates can meet the running requirements of AMS-02 on the ISS.

Published: September 2020

PURPOSE: To perform a scoping review of the evidence for therapeutic interventions to manage functional impairments associated with Rett syndrome (RTT) throughout the lifespan. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Scopus and Index to Chiropractic Literature were searched systematically up to December 2019. Two investigators independently reviewed all search results and extracted those that met the inclusion criteria. Human and animal model studies pertaining to therapies that increase functional ability or treat RTT-associated symptoms in all age groups were included. Relevant studies were grouped into intervention categories and rated using the Oxford Centre of Evidence Based Medicine Levels of Evidence. Demographics of participants, interventions, and outcomes were summarized. RESULTS: Ninety-one articles representing 88 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 80 were human clinical studies and eight were studies using animal models. Study designs were primarily case series and only six studies involved participants above the age of 40. CONCLUSION: A small number of rigorously studied rehabilitation interventions have been published. Published studies aim to address a wide variety of functional impairments. Research regarding implementation of therapies for older patients with RTT is lacking and requires further exploration.
Overview and initial results of the National Center for Health Statistics’ Research and Development Survey1
Authors: Parker Jennifer , Miller Kristen , He Yulei , Scanlon Paul , Cai Bill , Shin Hee-Choon , Parsons Van , Irimata Katherine
Published: September 2020

The National Center for Health Statistics is assessing the usefulness of recruited web panels in multiple research areas. One research area examines the use of close-ended probe questions and split-panel experiments for evaluating question-response patterns. Another research area is the development of statistical methodology to leverage the strength of national survey data to evaluate, and possibly improve, health estimates from recruited panels. Recruited web panels, with their lower cost and faster production cycle, in combination with established population health surveys, may be useful for some purposes for statistical agencies. Our initial results indicate that web survey data from a recruited panel can be used for question evaluation studies without affecting other survey content. However, the success of these data to provide estimates that align with those from large national surveys will depend on many factors, including further understanding of design features of the recruited panel (e.g. coverage and mode effects), the statistical methods and covariates used to obtain the original and adjusted weights, and the health outcomes of interest.

Authors: Kruse Clemens Scott , Mileski Michael , Syal Rohan , MacNeil Lauren , Chabarria Edward , Basch Cody
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of health information technology (HIT) as an adjunct to increase safety and quality in healthcare applications is well known. There is a relationship between the use of HIT and safer-prescribing practices in long-term care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to determine an association between the use of HIT and the improvement of prescription administration in long-term care facilities. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases. With the use of certain key terms, 66 articles were obtained. Each article was then reviewed by two researchers to determine if the study was germane to the research objective. If both reviewers agreed with using the article, it became a source for our review. The review was conducted and structured based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS: The researchers identified 14 articles to include in a group for analysis from North America, Europe, and Australia. Electronic health records and electronic medication administration records were the two most common forms of technological interventions (6 of 14, 43%). Reduced risk, decreased error, decreased missed dosage, improved documentation, improved clinical process, and stronger clinical focus comprised 92% of the observations. CONCLUSIONS: HIT has shown beneficial effects for many healthcare organizations. Long-term care facilities that implemented health information technologies, have shown reductions in adverse drug events caused by medication errors overall reduced risk to the organization. The implementation of new technologies did not increase the time nurses spent on medication rounds.
Negasi semantik dalam pola pemaknaan bahasa Beberapa kelompok islam di indonesia
Authors: War’i Muhammad
Published: September 2020

Tulisan ini mengelaborasi tentang pemaknaan kata berbasis keagamaan oleh beberapa kelompok muslim di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitaif dengan analisis deskriptif interpretatif. Dengan menggunakan pisau analisis filsafat bahasa, penelitian berkesmipulan bahwa konstruksi pemaknaan bahasa berorientasi keagamaan beberapa kelompok muslim di Indonesia mengalami negasi semantik. Artinya ada pemaknaan secara parsial terhadap kata-kata yang berorientasi keagamaan. Negasi semantik tersebut disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, yaitu, lemahnya pemahaman beberapa kelompok tersebut terhadap konsep linguistik, adanya pola pikir bayani yang membuat mereka terpaku pada teks, serta adanya sakaralisasi konsep yang diwariskan dari para pendahulu mereka. Sebagai refleksi dari uraian yang dibuat, maka perlu dihadirkan pola pemaknaan  bahasa yang lebih pluralistik dengan melibatkan aspek semantik, pragmatik serta konteks tuturan. Ketika setiap kelompok mampu memhami bahasa secara plural, maka upaya membangun dialog dalam konteks keragaman agama maupun keyakinan akan bisa dilaksanakan dengan baik. Adanya sikap menerima dengan terbuka konsep kelompok lain dalam memaknai istilah-istilah keagamaannya akan menghadirkan kehidupan beragama yang toleran dan damai.

Authors: Gurjao Livio
Published: September 2020

Pantropical spotted dolphins, Stenella attenuata, are found across all tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, but their distribution is poorly known in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWA). A group of approximately 10 S. attenuata individuals was sighted in deep (~3,000 m), warm (~27.5 °C) and oligotrophic waters, near oceanic banks off northeastern Brazil (02°04’16.68” S and 038°08’28.26” W). This sighting constitute a new record of the northern distribution of S. attenuata in SWA. More survey efforts mustbe carried out to investigate cetaceans distribution along the Brazilian coast, especially inoffshore waters.

Dieser Beitrag widmet sich der Vor- und Frühgeschichte der PROKLA und beleuchtet dabei die Entstehungsgeschichte der Zeitschrift in Auseinandersetzung mit den politischen Ausdifferenzierungsprozessen von Studentenbewegung und APO im Verlauf der 1960er und 1970er Jahre. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der theoretischen Positionierung der Zeitschrift, die mit der »logischen Kapitallektüre« und der Staatsableitungsdiskussion geschildert wird. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass die theoretischen Standpunkte der Zeitschrift konkrete Antworten auf Herausforderungen durch doktrinäre marxistische Interpretationen in den politischen Konflikten der 1970er Jahre lieferten. In diesen Auseinandersetzungen hielt die PROKLA als Zeitschrift sowohl das Organisationsmodell wie auch den politischen und theoretischen Anspruch der Neuen Linken als unabhängiger politischer Kraft aufrecht.

Design and Operation of Egg Collectors for Pelagic Spawning Marine Fishes
Authors: Ohs Cortney L. , Marcellus John , Cassiano Eric J. , Broach Jason
Published: September 2020

As aquaculture production techniques streamline, interest in captive breeding for marine fish species increases. The food, ornamental, and bait industries all benefit from expanding the development of aquaculture techniques for desirable marine fish species. A significant limitation in developing aquaculture protocols for marine fish species is an adequate understanding of viable egg production and larval development. The first step in that process is to efficiently collect fertilized embryos, usually referred to as eggs, for examination and further development. This 6-page fact sheet written by Cortney Ohs, John Marcellus, Eric Cassiano, and Jason Broach and published by the UF/IFAS Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences of the School of Forest Resources and Conservation includes directions for construction and operation of two types of pelagic egg collectors: pre-filter and floating airlift. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa211
The Economics of Planting New Citrus Groves in Florida in the Era of HLB
Authors: Singerman Ariel , Burani-Arouca Marina , Futch Stephen Hubbard
Published: September 2020

Citrus greening, or huanglongbing (HLB), is a bacterial disease that affects citrus trees’ vascular systems, limiting nutrient uptake. As trees become increasingly affected by the disease, they suffer premature fruit drop, the fruit harvested is smaller and misshapen, and the juice quality is compromised, all resulting in lower yield. To this date there is no cure or successful management strategy to deal with HLB. This 8-page fact sheet written by Ariel Singerman, Marina Burani-Arouca, and Stephen H. Futch and published by the UF/IFAS Food and Resource Economics Department summarizes the results of an analysis of three tree densities under different production and market conditions to determine which density is most profitable. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe1050
La Granada en Florida: Una fruta de árbol para Florida?
Authors: Sarkhosh Ali , Williamson Jeffrey G. , Pabon Eva M.
Published: September 2020

El potencial económico en la producción comercial para el cultivo de granadas en Florida es actualmente desconocido en este momento. La investigación científica continúa sobre la posibilidad de encontrar variedades de granadas que puedan crecer en Florida. Las condiciones ambientales, con una alta temporada húmeda en la Florida, y un clima caluroso, son factores que son favorables para las enfermedades en las granadas y eso reduce la calidad de esta fruta, especialmente para las variedades de temporada tardía como la variedad ‘Wonderful’. ‘Wonderful’ es el principal cultivar comercial que se originó en la Florida. Para reducir las enfermedades y evitar la competencia de comercialización con las granadas de California, la investigación para la producción de granadas en la Florida debe centrarse en buscar variedades de temporada temprana que puedan cosecharse en julio y agosto. This six-page document is the Spanish translation of HS44, The Pomegranate.

Meloidogyne hapla, the Northern Root-Knot Nematode, in Florida Strawberries and Associated Double-Cropped Vegetables
Authors: Desaeger Johan
Published: September 2020

Northern root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne hapla) are rather uncommon nematode parasites of strawberries and vegetables in Florida, but when present they are capable of causing significant crop loss. Root-knot nematodes are largely unknown to strawberry growers in Florida and very little is known about their biology and behavior in the state. This 5-page fact sheet written by J. Desaeger and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Entomology and Nematology is intended to educate and provide information on this nematode to researchers, Extension agents, growers, industry representatives, and other stakeholders in the strawberry and vegetable community. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1224
A Wireworm Glyphonix bimarginatus (Schaeffer) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Elateridae)
Authors: Seal Dakshina R. , Khan Rafia A.
Published: September 2020

Glyphonix bimarginatus (Figure 1) is a common click beetle pest of various economically important crops. The larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are elongated, wire-like and commonly known as wireworms. Wireworms are considered as subterranean economic pests during their larval stages in many parts of the world including the United States. The larvae of Glyphonix bimarginatus are commonly found with larvae of other click beetles in the field. Larvae of Glyphonix bimarginatus occurs in soil rich in organic matter and rarely in sandy soil. Young roots and germinating seeds are commonly fed upon by the larvae.

This document describes its distribution, life cycle and biology, hosts, economic importance, and management. Also available on the Featured Creatures website at http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures.

Flower thrips, Frankliniella tritici (Fitch) (Insecta: Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
Authors: Sprague Danielle , Funderburk Joseph E. , Lucky Andrea
Published: September 2020

The flower thrips, Frankliniella tritici (Fitch) (Figure 1), is one of the most abundant species of flower thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in the eastern United States (Reitz 2008). The official common name established by the Entomological Society of America for this species is flower thrips, although the name flower thrips is often applied generically to the numerous species in the genus Frankliniella that inhabit flowers. For this reason, it is frequently referred to as the eastern flower thrips, presumably for its distribution in the eastern United States.

Several species in the genus Frankliniella are considered economic pests and cause damage to a wide variety of crops through feeding and oviposition (Childers 1997). Several species are able to vector orthotospoviruses (or tospoviruses), including Tomato spotted wilt virus. However, Frankliniella tritici is not a vector of Tomato spotted wilt virus and is considered a pest of secondary importance (de Assis Filho 2005).

Frankliniella tritici may, however, be confused with other similar Frankliniella species in Florida such as Frankliniella bispinosa and Frankliniella occidentalis which are capable vectors of Tomato spotted wilt virus (Riley et al. 2011).

Assessing the Relationship between Supervisors and Employees
Authors: Benge Matthew
Published: September 2020

Relationship-based leadership is characterized by trust, respect, and mutual obligation that generates influence between parties. Within UF/IFAS Extension especially, many relationships between supervisors and employees are dynamic and multidimensional, characterized as both supervisory and collegial. Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) is a relationship-based approach that explains leadership as an interaction between both leader and follower. In this new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural Education and Communication, Matthew Benge presents the LMX-7, an assessment instrument to gauge the quality of relationship between supervisors and their employees. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/wc332

As Zonas de Processamento de Exportação (ZPE) são zonas de livre comércio de importação e exportação. Diante deste contexto, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo geral estudar o panorama legal das ZPEs e explicitar informações relevantes baseadas na análise das demonstrações contábeis da companhia administradora da ZPE Ceará. A pesquisa se caracteriza como qualitativa no que se refere a compreender os eventos relacionados à ZPE Ceará, e quantitativa por mensurar os índices econômico-financeiros com base nas demonstrações da companhia publicadas. A pesquisa permitiu identificar que, das ZPEs autorizadas pela legislação a operar, apenas uma se encontra em operação, enquanto outra se encontra apenas alfandegada, 19 estão em processo de implantação e 5 abdicaram voluntariamente do processo de implantação. Os resultados dos índices de liquidez, estrutura patrimonial e rentabilidade indicaram que a companhia apresenta amplas condições de continuidade, em virtude de apresentar dívidas de baixo impacto no curto e longo prazo, baixa representatividade do capital de terceiros e retorno de capital investido positivo. A companhia apresentou resultados de destaque em 2015, com 5,64 para os índices de liquidez corrente, seca e geral, e 0,24 em índices de endividamento e participação de capitais de terceiros em 2018, indicando baixa dependência de terceiros, e apresentou redução de rentabilidade do ativo e rentabilidade do patrimônio líquido, com resultados de 0,17 e 0,27 respectivamente.
