Published: August 2023

There are many species of termites associated with oil palm planted on peat soil. Most of them are beneficial to the ecosystem and harmless to the crop. Four subterranean termite species of Coptotermes are commonly found in oil palm planted on peat soil, viz. Coptotermes curvignathus, C. sepangensis, C. travians and C. kalshoveni. The only species infesting living palm is C. curvignathus. The other genera of termites such as Schedorhinotermes, Parrhinotermes and Nasutitermes, in which are some very common species in oil palm plantations, are harmless to the palm. Accurate identification of termite species to distinguish between the pest and non-pest species should be emphasised to prevent wrong application of pesticide against beneficial termites in the field. This paper provides a pictorial guide for the identification of common termite species in oil palm planted on peat soil. Keywords: Subterranean termites, C. sepangensis, C. curvignathus, C. travians, C. kalshoveni.
Aspects on Life History of Eurycantha insularis Lucas (Phasmida : Phasmatidae) from Papua New Guinea
Authors: DIKREY R , SAPAU B , DEWHURST C F
Published: August 2023

The oil palm stick insect is a sporadic pest but occasionally a serious defoliator of oil palm in Northern (Oro) Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG), although it seldom causes significant damage to warrant any chemical intervention. There are currently two recorded egg parasitoids and one, (possibly two) entomophagous fungi that attack the adults. Parasitoids are not currently being reared as biological control agents. Adults and nymphs are often collected from oil palm cooked and eaten by the local people, especially children. Except for the taxonomy, the biology of this species is not fully understood; and this study attempts to fill in part of this information gap. Egg incubation period is 80 days. Five nymphal instars were identified for males and six for females. Males complete developmental stage in 97 days whilst females in 118 days. Female adults survived only slightly longer than males being 48 and 35 days respectively. Any control efforts should target nymphal stages to break the breeding cycle. Keywords: Oil palm, stick insect, parasitoids, Northern Province, PNG, biology.
Understanding Climate Change: Causes, Impacts, Policies and Actions
Authors: YEW FOONG KHEONG , YEW MEI LEE
Published: August 2023

Climate change is already happening in the world today. Global warming leading to melting of polar icebergs and snow covers is seen today and causes the sea level to rise. Extreme weather conditions have also become the new norms. Consequently, life on earth is affected, mostly with negative outcomes. Human activities that emit three primary greenhouse gases (GHG), namely carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are found to be the principal causes of climate change. As such, there is an urgent need for concerted efforts by mankind to limit and abate the emission of these gases in order to slow down climate change. At the international level, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which is a UN based institution, has been setting up policies and actions to abate climate change. It is presently coordinating actions to limit a global temperature rise to below 1.5oC. Malaysia is a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) climate treaty in 1992 and is doing her part to contribute to this agenda. In this respect, Malaysia has pledged to maintain at least 50 per cent of the landmass perpetually under forest cover. Malaysia also pledged to reduce the GHG emissions intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 45 per cent by 2030 relative to the emissions intensity of GDP in 2005 for the country at COP21 (Conference of Parties) in 2015.

Authors: WAYAYOK AIMRUN , ABD KHARIM MUHAMMAD NURFAIZ , MANJANG LAMIN
Published: August 2023

Hydroponic commonly incorporates crops farming with less usage of chemical fertilisers and soil utilisation. The existing hydroponic systems can only show essential parameters such as humidity, water level, nutrients and light intensity. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) system with portable monitoring device, S shaped UPVC pipe, wood, net protection, pH meter, electrical conductivity (EC) meter, growing media for growing cherry tomato and butterhead lettuce in a netting system environment was developed which includes determination of pipe size, flowrate, angle of pipe degree and pump size. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design (RCBD) with three treatments of growing media (perlite, clay pebbles and coco fibre) and ten replications for each treatment. Plant lengths, total count of harvested cherry tomato, yield (g), pH and EC values were recorded during the study. The results showed that flowrate (Q) was 117.9 (L/h) through a 7.62 cm UPVC pipe diameter and a 90-degree elbow joint with pump power of 0.193 watts. Mean comparison of plant lengths between treatments for butterhead lettuce planting shows coco fibre produces highest leaf lengths while cherry tomato planting shows clay pebbles produces highest stem lengths. In terms of plant yield (g) and total count of harvested cherry tomato and butterhead lettuce, clay pebbles media recorded the highest values for both crops and showed significant differences to other growing media. Keywords: Nutrient film technique, pH meter, EC meter, yield, planting media, stem height and leaf lengths

Authors: CHUNG GAIT FEE , POH SYEE WHA
Published: August 2023

Two incidences of severe rat damage were encountered in a visit to an oil palm estate in Lower Perak recently. Severe rat damage on oil palm fruit bunches and inflorescences was seen in a young mature 6-year-old planting. Rat species identified were Rattus tiomanicus (via cage trapping) and Rattus argentiventer (via digging the burrow). Furthermore, images of rat chewing inflorescence were taken by an estate personnel during night inspection. Mitigation measures to identify the cause of rat infestation in young mature planting and to reduce risk of damage and crop losses covering various aspects in several headings, namely rat species, rat damage and crop losses, bait shyness, poison baiting, multiple baits application, mass trapping, dog-assisted hunting, worker hunting, and augmentation of barn owl population are discussed. Severe rat damage on immature palms (1 - 2 years old) was seen in a planting of an adjacent estate. It is not possible to comment on the rat infestation in immature planting which was viewed from far. Fast control is required to end the rat infestation before further loss of palms. However, mitigation measures are discussed under several headings, namely rat species, rat damage and crop losses, poison baiting, bait shyness, mass trapping, deterrent mixture and rate baiting policy. In conclusion, rats are important pest in mature and immature oil palm plantings and rat management is becoming more challenging due to acute labour shortage and the need for multi-pronged approach in integrated rat management and /or the need to tolerate certain levels of rat damage. To meet these approaching challenges, the training of estate personnel must be emphasised and supported by new findings from on-going R&D works. Keywords: Rats, oil palm, damage, mitigation.

Authors: Njekang Aziseh Eric , Christopher Molem Sama , Atanga Mary Bi Suh
Published: August 2023

Prominent among others in agenda 2030 for Cameroon, is to guarantee that every child should have good health and live longer. Information asymmetry can be disadvantageous to child health status and strategies intended to address this worry can improve the child health status and consequently bring growth. This work analyses the mitigating effect of information asymmetry on child health status in Cameroon using data from the Cameroon Demographic Health Survey (CDHS) of 2018. The instrumental variable probit (ivprobit) approach is used to investigate this relation. The findings reveal that information asymmetry measured as an index has an adverse effect on child health status in Cameroon. Specifically, information asymmetry reduces the probability of child health status by 0.949 units. Other covariates that affect child health status in Cameroon include age, age squared, gender, level of education and place of residence. For Cameroon to improve on child health status through information flow, policies guided to increase the flow of health information are highly recommended by this study so that child health status can be improved upon. The use of radios and child health programs that can be in pidgin language and mother tongues should be put on air both for local and national radio stations in Cameroon.
The Basis of the Third Distribution
Authors: Dong Guicheng
Published: August 2023

The basis of the third distribution can be argued in three dimensions: normative basis, implementation basis and theoretical basis. On the normative basis, the third distribution has been proposed one after another in our central and local documents, but there is a lack of constitutional affirmation of the content of the third distribution. On the implementation basis, the first distribution and the second distribution need to be done well in order to lay the groundwork for the third distribution. At the same time, it is necessary to give full consideration to the implementation of the third distribution in terms of building a social assistance system, formulating a system of tax incentives and improving the organization of social and public services. On the theoretical basis, the third distribution has conflicts in terms of realistic possibilities and the voluntariness of donations from the perspective of freedom and equality, and it is necessary to balance equality and freedom to make the third distribution properly.
Another Work in Chidoluo v. Attansey from the Pricing of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as Amended)
Authors: Ngwu Godwin Emeka , Akpusi Collins Ugochukwu
Published: August 2023

For many decades, the rights of the girl child in Igboland were practically non-existent with regards to inheritance. It was the popular believe that a female child will grow up to leave her father’s house and ‘belong’ to another man and so should not partake in the sharing of the family property — a direct violation of section 42 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). This gave rise to the age long disinheritance of the girl child in the estate of her deceased father. Her brothers were always quick to point out this ‘disability’ plaguing their sisters and in some extreme cases even embellished it with insults and ridicules. This case comment carefully x-rayed the input that the case of Chidoluo v. Attansey has made to better the lot of the female child and help her find her place in a society that has ostracized her for too long. It was distilled that despite previous judgments of courts including the apex court in Nigeria, the problem had persisted hence the instant case sought to re-emphasize that the female child is neither incapacitated nor diminished in any way by virtue of her sexual orientation and equally entitled to inherit under the Igbo native law and custom. This case comment sought to encourage the acceptance of the female child as a legitimate part of the family, allowing her to take part in the God given inheritance in the family that she belongs. No matter the circumstances of the birth of a girl child under the Igbo native Law and Custom, such a child enjoys the right to inherit from her deceased father’s estate.

Back to the Treaties: Towards a 'Sustainable' Competition Law
Authors: Piletta Massaro Andrea
Published: August 2023

Competition law, especially after the advent of the so-called Chicago School, has often been viewed as a policy interested in the pursuit of economic efficiency only, and sometimes it has also been enforced accordingly. However, the call to improve – if not save – the conditions of the environment in which we live has become urgent for our economic, social and legal systems. Therefore, every policy, competition law included, must play its part, as the protection of the environment represents a core value of our societies’ constitutional foundations. In the context of competition law, this means allowing sustainability agreements aimed at pursuing environmentally friendly objectives, such as new products or productive processes. This can be reached through various means, especially by means of the exemption provided by Article 101, paragraph 3, TFEU. This article will analyse the various approaches that can lead to an innovative and environmentally friendly application of competition law, bearing in mind that the inclusion of these concerns in the assessment of competition law cases is rooted in the ‘multi-value’ approach to competition required by the EU Treaties.

Influenza Aviar: principales aspectos de la enfermedad y su impacto sobre la Cadena Avícola
Authors: Casas Cirión Luis Eduardo , Carvalho Iglesias Andrea Macarena
Published: August 2023

El sector avícola se posiciona fuertemente dado el incremento en la demanda por alimentos, conjuntamente con sus características de asequibilidad y propiedades beneficiosas para la salud. En contrapartida, la expansión mundial de la Influenza aviar se ha convertido en una amenaza para el sector. A partir de este escenario, es que surge nuestra investigación, realizándose una revisión bibliográfica sistemática y crítica de diversos documentos e informes emitidos por organismos e instituciones tanto públicas como privadas, fijándonos como objetivo principal la divulgación de los principales aspectos relacionados a la enfermedad y sus impactos en la Cadena Avícola. Se evidenció, que la Influenza aviar es una enfermedad altamente contagiosa, con elevadas tasas de mortalidad en las aves. Por otra parte, destaca el papel que juegan las aves migratorias como reservorios y diseminadores de la enfermedad. Dicha enfermedad provoca devastadoras pérdidas, a nivel social, económico, ambiental y de preocupación en la órbita de la salud pública. El incremento de las medidas de bioseguridad en las granjas cumple un rol clave. Se concluyó, que, si bien se vislumbra un panorama auspicioso para el sector avícola, la expansión de la Influenza aviar es motivo de gran preocupación y constante monitorización de su situación. Resulta crucial reforzar las medidas de control, prevención y si es posible adoptar planes de vacunación con cepas específicas de la zona. El trabajo transdisciplinario será fundamental, reforzando el Concepto de “Una sola Salud”, y por otro lado resaltar la importancia de la divulgación del tema a todos los niveles y ámbitos posibles.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Our objective was to examine the relationships of supplemental rumen-protected lysine (RPL) or lysine + methionine (RPLM) on lactational performance, plasma amino acids (AA) concentration, and nitrogen use efficiency of lactating dairy cows by using a meta-analysis approach.Methods: A total of 56 articles comprising 77 experiments with either RPL or RPLM supplementation were selected and analyzed using a mixed model methodology by considering the treatments and other potential covariates as fixed effects and different experiments as random effects.Results: In early lactating cows, milk yield was linearly increased by RPL (β1 = 0.013; p<0.001) and RPLM (β1 = 0.014; p<0.028) but 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM) and energy-corrected milk (ECM) (kg/d) was increased by only RPL. RPL and RPLM did not affect dry matter intake (DMI) but positively increased (p<0.05) dairy efficiency (Milk yield/DMI and ECM/DMI). As a percentage, milk fat, protein, and lactose were unchanged by RPL or RPLM but the yield of all components was increased (p<0.05) by feeding RPL while only milk protein was increased by feeding RPLM. Plasma Lys concentration was linearly increased (p<0.05) with increasing supplemental RPL while plasma Met increased (p<0.05) by RPLM supplementation. The increase in plasma Lys had a strong linear relationship (R2 = 0.693 in the RPL dataset and R2 = 0.769 in the RPLM dataset) on milk protein synthesis (g/d) during early lactation. Nitrogen metabolism parameters were not affected by feeding RPL or RPLM, either top-dress or when supplemented to deficient diets. Lactation performance did not differ between AA-deficient or AA-adequate diets in response to RPL or RPLM supplementation.Conclusion: RPL or RPLM showed a positive linear relationship on the lactational performance of dairy cows whereas greater improvement effects were observed during early lactation. Supplementing RPL or RPLM is recommended on deficient-AA diet but not on adequate-AA diet.

Estudo descritivo, exploratório, de caráter quantitativo, realizado com o objetivo de apresentar os dados epidemiológicos da violência doméstica, sexual e/ou outras violências que atingiram a mulher adulta no ano 2014 no Estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram extraídos do componente de Vigilância de Violências e Acidentes do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (VIVA/Sinan), a partir das fichas de notificação individual de violência doméstica, sexual e/ou outras violências. A proporção de 81,7%das violências foi verificada na zona urbana, sendo a residência (66,4%) o local de maior ocorrência. As taxas de violência entre as faixas etárias variaram entre 0,029 a 0,039 por 100 mil habitantes do sexo feminino; sendo as mulheres casadas ou em união consensual e ainda as negras as mais atingidas. O homem foi o maior representante provável da autoria dosatos de violência (64,8%), sendo a suspeita da associação com consumo de álcool demonstrado em 30% dos casos. O comportamento violento e repetitivo atingiu 41,4% revelando que a reincidência é uma realidade a ser enfrentada. O vínculo/grau de parentesco do provável autor da agressão pertenceu ao grupo companheiro, em todos os tipos de violência, excetona sexual. O estupro constituiu-se na forma mais incidente de violência sexual, sendo realizada a profilaxia de DST (45,2%), HIV (44,7%), Hepatite B (30,8%) e contracepção de emergência (29,5%). O aborto legal foi necessário para 2,6% dos casos. A violência contra a mulher afeta aspectos físicos, econômicos, reprodutivos e comportamentais que podem contribuir na geração de doenças ou consequências fatais, extrapolando o âmbito da saúde e revelando a necessidade do cuidado ampliado e intersetorial.

Authors: Alcantara Rosana Machado de , Lucas Jr Durval
Published: August 2023

O presente estudo de caso visa apresentar como uma instituição pública da área da saúde pode elaborar diretrizes para um projeto de implantação da melhoria institucional, por meio da autoavaliação, com auxílio de ferramentas da gestão de qualidade. Esta é de grande importância dentro de uma organização, pois permite que sejam traçadas estratégias que possam resolver ou amenizar suas problemáticas. A Gestão de Qualidade vem ao encontro da grande necessidade de trazer para as organizações a estratégia de alcançar melhoria, chegando à excelência naquilo que desempenham, em toda parte da organização, ou seja, nas pessoas, nos departamentos, nos sistemas, no atendimento e consequentemente no resultado. A metodologia utilizada foi a qualitativa e de forma subjetiva foi apresentada a trajetória da busca pela implantação do projeto de melhoria institucional mediante a gestão de qualidade na Superintendência de Controle de Endemias – Sucen, da Secretaria de estado da Saúde de São Paulo, com embasamento no instrumento de autoavaliação da Gespública 250 pontos, juntamente com as ferramentas da gestão de qualidade. São muitas as limitações e dificuldades enfrentadas por organizações que tentam implantar a gestão de qualidade e isso ocorre pela falta de conhecimento no assunto e falta de motivação, principalmente por parte dos gestores, que têm como uma de suas incumbências manter a equipe motivada. Uma organização é formada por pessoas que devem trabalhar com o foco na melhoria e busca constante da excelência, o que é possível com a implantação da Gestão de Qualidade.
Cesárea na Região do Vale do Paraíba no Estado de São Paulo: tendências e mobilidade
Authors: Almeida Ana Beatriz Machado de , Silva Zilda Pereira da
Published: August 2023

Objetivos: verificar a evolução das proporções de cesáreas no Vale do Paraíba entre 2001 a 2015 e analisar a evasão de nascidos vivos por cesárea e sua distribuição espacial nos municípios da região (2013-2015). Metodologia: estudo observacional descritivo baseado em microdados. Foram comparadas proporções de cesáreas e, para análise da evasão de cesáreas, foram tabulados dados de mães residentes na região e observado o município de residência e ocorrência. Resultados: A proporção de cesáreas na região aumentou de 50,1% em 2001 para 63,5% em 2015, porém, nota-se discreta diminuição no último biênio (2014-2015). Observou-se proporção heterogênea de cesáreas entre os municípios e a quase totalidade registrou aumento da média trienal. Dos nascidos vivos por cesárea no triênio 2013- 2015, 20,8% ocorreram em municípios diferentes daquele de residência da mãe. A taxa de evasão variou de 2,4% a 100,0% e o deslocamento ocorreu de municípios com menor população para os mais populosos. Discussão: No mundo, o Brasil é líder na realização de cesáreas. A região possui uma proporção maior que a do Brasil e demonstrou aumento no período estudado. Para diminuir o deslocamento das mães para outros municípios, a rede de atenção obstétrica deve oferecer serviços de atenção ao parto no próprio município de residência das mães. Conclusões: A região apresenta distribuição heterogênea da proporção de cesáreas. Apesar do aumento no período, há discreta diminuição no último biênio (2014-2015). O deslocamento de nascidos vivos por cesárea ocorre entre os municípios da própria região, de municípios menores para os mais populosos.

From Naples to Paris
Authors: Carlisi Lydia
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the reception of partimento at the Paris Conservatoire between its foundation (1795) and 1840. The circulation of partimento in France during the 19th century is evinced by several sources, although, the use of partimenti in teaching at the Conservatoire has never been explored in depth. The Conservatoire initially emulated institutions such as the Neapolitan Conservatori, with the goal of producing French musicians and singers as successful as their Italian colleagues. Drawing on archival documents, manuscripts, and printed manuals, the teaching at the Conservatoire is reconstructed and the elements of partimento in these sources explored; the teaching of harmonie and accompagnement are also examined.
Das Absolute in uns
Authors: Rohstock Max
Published: August 2023

Max Rohstock examines the metaphysics of the Neoplatonic tradition and J. G. Fichte. Firstly, he finds love to be the central principle that grounds the philosophy of Plotinus, Proclus, Dionysius, Eriugena, Cusanus and Fichte. Secondly, he demonstrates that the metaphysical speculations of Neoplatonism and Fichte do not merely coincide in certain aspects. Rather, they demonstrate profound systematic parallels that help to understand why the often-proclaimed abyss between pre- and post-Kantian philosophy is misleading. Both theses are justified on the basis of the often-misunderstood concept of metaphysical transcendence.
Pyrotechnische Zwischenfälle im deutschen Fußball
Authors: Pörner Till
Published: August 2023

The use of pyrotechnics in and around the stadium is probably one of the biggest irritants in soccer, which is generally regarded as the number one national sport. Hardly any stylistic device polarizes more than that of bengalos, firecrackers, smoke bombs and flares. In his study, the author addresses the use of pyrotechnic objects in soccer from the perspective of criminal and administrative offence law. In doing so, he examines in a differentiated manner the criminal and administrative offence law issues arising in this context with a view to the applicable law, but also does not fail to point out possible approaches to reform. The work addresses the phenomenon of pyrotechnics to an unprecedented extent.
Sportphilosophie
Authors: Güldenpfennig Sven
Published: August 2023

Everyone talks about sport. Everyone about something different. This lack of clarity hinders a practical, pedagogical, administrative, economic and political approach to sport that makes sense. A philosophy of sport has to clear this up, i.e. it has to enlighten. First of all, this means developing a meaningful concept of sport. A distinction must be made between sport in the narrow sense as a cultural good and sport in the broad sense as a social good. This twofold intrinsic value of the idea of sport and the guarantee of its dignity and autonomy must be at the centre of all action in this field. They determine and limit its intrinsic value and right. In this way, it dictates to all those involved in sport what is and is not permissible in practical, pedagogical, economic, legal and political terms.
Umweltrecht
Authors: Schlacke Sabine
Published: August 2023

Die Stärke des mittlerweile in 9. Auflage erschienenen Lehrbuchs ist es, das deutsche Umweltrecht systematisch – mit Hilfe von Grafiken und Fallbeispielen – komprimiert darzustellen und zu bewerten. Die im Anschluss an den Klima-Beschluss des BVerfG erfolgte verwaltungs- und verfassungsgerichtliche Rechtsprechung wurde verarbeitet. Überdies wird die zur Beschleunigung der Energiewende erlassene klimabezogene Gesetzgebung berücksichtigt. Jüngste Entscheidungen zum Umweltrechtsschutz sind ebenso verarbeitet wie die Novellen des Bundesnaturschutzgesetzes. Da das Umweltrecht wie kaum ein anderes Rechtsgebiet inzwischen unionsrechtlich überformt ist, wird ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf die Europäisierung und Internationalisierung dieses Rechtsgebiets gelegt.
