Impact Assessment and Geochemical Background Analysis of Surface Water Quality of Catchments Affected by the 2017 Portugal Wildfires
Authors: Sequeira Mário David , Castilho Ana Maria , Dinis Pedro Alexandre , Tavares Alexandre Oliveira
Published: October 2020

In October 2017, the Mondego hydrological basin was devastated by multiple wildfires. To understand the impacts that these had on surface water quality, monthly monitoring campaigns were implemented in the affected catchments. The campaigns oversaw the water’s physical characteristics and major, minor and trace constituents. Analysis of major changes was performed, as well as comparisons with geochemical backgrounds, determined using publicly available data collected prior to the fires. The backgrounds allowed us to verify which water parameters were most influenced by the fires. Wildfires were responsible for increasing turbidity on all watercourses, and electrical conductivity increased in watercourses with flatter, granitoid/sedimentary-dominated watersheds. Cl−, NO3−, and SO42− surpassed background values in most monitored basins. Changes in Al, Fe, Mn, As, Ba, and Zn concentrations were observed in all watercourses after the wildfires and decreases after intense rainfall. Background values were particularly exceeded for Al in all monitoring points and As in basins with extensive agricultural areas. Burnt plant material and organic matter partially account for the increases in Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, Al, As, Fe, and Mn content. High Al, Fe and Zn with low water conductivity suggests that these elements were associated with sediment loads after the removal of vegetation.

Quedarse afuera, ladrando como perros a los muros. Protesta y movimientos sociales en América Latina en la bisagra de los siglos XX y XXI
Authors: Ansaldi Waldo
Published: October 2020

A partir de 1990, con el alzamiento indígeno-campesino ecuatoriano, han aparecido en América Latina nuevos movimientos sociales, rápidamente extendidos espacialmente. En la mayoría de los casos se trata de movimientos que presentan una doble condición: étnica (pueblos originarios) y clasista (campesinos), la cual, en rigor, no es nueva. La excepción es la de algunos movimientos sociales urbanos argentinos. A diferencia de los movimientos de los años 1970 y 1980, los actuales se han producido bajo regímenes democráticos, a menudo cuestionando su legitimidad, desestabilizandogobiernos e incluso derribándolos, no renegando de la democracia sino procurando su radicalización. Los movimientos analizados tienen un punto en común: se trata de formas reactivas de lucha que, siendo inicialmente sociales, más temprano que tarde se tornaron políticas, se interceptaron –y hasta colisionaron– con el Estado.

Cultivation agrotechnology of new intensive mung bean cultivars
Authors: Mavlyanova Ravza F. , Abdullaev Fayzulla Kh. , Mansurov Khusniddin G.
Published: October 2020

Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is of great interest for implementation in agricultural production. With the development of farms, there are prospects for increasing its cultivation areas in the main and second crops as the main and combined crop. The cultivation of early ripening mung bean cultivars will allow you to get early production and will make it possible in time to clear the fields for the re-culture. In parallel, the problem of increasing soil fertility will be solved, and the green mass of mung bean can serve as an additional source for fodder production. The universality of the use of this culture testifies to its potential and value for the agriculture, since the mung bean can work as a food, technical, protein, feed and green manure cultivar. The purpose of these studies is to develop elements of varietal agricultural technologies of new intensive mung bean cultivars for growing in the soil and climatic conditions of Uzbekistan. When developing varietal agricultural technology, the specificity of the reaction of different cultivars to the action of environmental factors (humidity, temperature, mineral fertilizers standards, timing and seeding rates, etc.) was taken into account. Based on the use of the WorldVeg Genebank of the World Vegetable Center (Taiwan) at the Research Institute of Plant Genetic Resources, a number of new mung bean cultivars were developed and zoned across the republic: «Durdona», «Marzhon», «Zilola», «Turon», «Baraka», «Osiyo», «Zamin», and «Barkaror». They are very plastic in different soil and climatic conditions; they can be successfully cultivated in all areas of the republic. These cultivars are suitable for sowing both in spring and summer after cereals, vegetables and other crops, and they form a full-fledged crop under irrigation conditions, while soil fertility improves. New cultivars are suitable for mechanized harvesting. Products of these cultivars are suitable for export. The practical use of new intensive mung bean cultivars will contribute to an increase in agricultural production for the population and the development of the export potential of the republic.

Published: October 2020

In this paper, we present an examination of factors affecting the sweetness degree of fruit tomato by utilizing a low-cost smart agriculture framework. Japanese consumers are willing to pay a sky-high price for particularly high sweetness degree of tomato, known as fruit tomato. Japanese farmers would like to produce sustainable fruit tomato, yet only some of the veteran farmers with tens of years of experience or big industrialized farms can produce it. Small scale farmers still struggle to produce sustainable fruit tomato. Many of them would like to know what factors affecting the sweetness degree of tomato. This study aims to clarify factors affecting the sweetness degree production by using a low-cost smart agriculture framework installed in a fruit tomato farmer in Nara prefecture, a western part of Japan. The data used were automatic data gathered from the sensor network, i.e. temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure as well as CO2; and manually input cultivation records, namely, fertilizers (Ca, NO3), pH, EC (electrical conductivity), harvesting record (yield and sweetness degree) as well as cropping calendar. We gathered data from June 2017 to December 2019. We then conducted a statistical analysis using the R statistical computing language. We found that the most significant factor for a high sweetness degree of fruit tomato is the growing time, that is the longer the growing time, the higher the sweetness degree of fruit tomato. The growing time is likely to be affected by season, as in summer growing time is faster than in wintertime. Consequently, summer is not the best time to grow fruit tomato.

Determination of nitrogen and chlorophyll content in two varieties of winter wheat plants means of ground and airborne spectrometry
Authors: Zholobak Galyna , Dugin Stanislav , Sybirtseva Oksana , Kazantsev Taras , Romanciuc Inna
Published: October 2020

Nitrogen in plants is part of the green pigment chlorophyll, as well as proteins, nucleic acids, phytohormones and alkaloids that indicates the key role of this element in plant life. Chlorophyll is the most important pigment of the photosynthetic process determining the life of all heterotrophic organisms on the planet. The facts mentioned above presuppose close relationships between nitrogen and chlorophyll in plants. The nitrogen content in plants serves as a basis for adjusting their nitrogen nutrition and calculating fertilization rates for high yields. This causes comstant importance of studying the content of nitrogen and chlorophyll in plants, especially by means of novel techniques with involving remote sensing. This study was focused on relationship between 19 vegetation indices (VI) and biochemical characteristics of vegetation, in particular nitrogen and chlorophyll content. Study areas were located within production fields of two varieties of winter wheat grown for harvest in 2016 by the grain company Baryshivska. The test plots varied by phytopathological situation in the phase of milk ripeness. Fungal infection of Bogdana variety caused significant varietal differences in biochemical parameters that were calculated by Kjeldahl makro-method for total nitrogen and by aerial survey with UAV (drone) for chlorophyll content. Among 19 VIs calculated by ground spectrometry the major part (16 VIs) were consistent with changes in nitrogen and chlorophyll content in the cultivars. In particular, CI rededge , CI green , MTCI, RVI, D731 / D700 and D735 / D700 were more than doubled, and NDRE1 and D718 / D700 were almost 1.5 times higher in the Skagen variety compared to the Bogdan variety. Only 3 indices: NDVI, Green NDVI and NI had limits of fluctuations of the values within the same limits, as varietal differences of biochemical indicators.
Valley complexes as ecosystem assets of heat island of urban agglomerations (on the example of the right-bank part of Kyiv)
Authors: Pazynych Nataliia
Published: October 2020

The analysis of the influence of the valley network of the right-bank part of Kiev on the formation of summer surface temperatures based on the use of materials of space remote sensing is carried out. The results of processing Landsat satellite images from 1987 to 2018, presented as isotherms, were used. Comparison of temperature data, hypsometry, geomorphologic features, types of earth cover was carried out according to profiles crossing the valleys in the most representative areas. The main factors influencing the formation of the temperature field within the valleys are vegetation, insolation exposure and anthropogenic stress. The studies revealed the lowest temperatures in the valleys at the foot of the slopes of the northern exposure, covered with woody vegetation. It was established that the temperatures in the valleys with wood cover are 5–6С and lower than the temperatures on the built-up water divide and 2–30С lower than in the park zones on the water divide. As a result of the peculiarities of the internal atmospheric circulation, stagnation in the valleys, with significant anthropogenic pressure (buildings, highways, railways), positive thermal anomalies and even geochemical ones are formed. Unfavorable ecological conditions (high level air pollution, flooding of foundations) are formed on the river Lybid and Kiyanka stream. Due to climatic changes and constantly growing anthropogenic pressure (increase in the area of impermeable surfaces, density and number of storey of residential buildings), temperatures within the city's “thermal island” for the study period increased by an average of 2–30С. Preservation of the valley network in its natural state provides a kind of oases within the city with favourable microclimatic and recreational conditions.
Promover la toma de decisiones en materia de salud y la dignidad inherente de los pacientes
Authors: Sullivan William F. , Heng John
Published: October 2020

La enseñanza moral católica afirma que es necesario el consentimiento  de los pacientes para autorizar las intervenciones sanitariasque les afectan, pero no especifica las condiciones para obtener dicho consentimiento o evaluar la capacidad de decisión. Aquí se presentan los artículos recogidos en este número que los autores han desarrollado a partir de las presentaciones que hicieron durante un coloquio reciente de la Asociación Internacional de Bioética Católica (IACB) celebrado en Quebec, Canadá. Contribuyen a promover el pensamiento ético sobre la capacidad de toma dedecisiones y el consentimiento. De diversas formas, piden que se respete la dignidad de todos los pacientes y que se promueva su participación tanto como sea posible en la toma de decisiones sobre su salud. Consideran que la toma de decisiones es relacional y abarca una variedad de capacidades. Examinan el papel de los miembros de la familia y de otros partidarios de la toma de decisiones en la promoción de las capacidades de los pacientes, cuya condición de salud mental o discapacidad les impide a menudo cumplir con los estándares clínicos y legales típicos para la capacidad de toma de decisiones.
Agenciamiento del paciente, autonomía y consentimiento. Perspectivas católicas
Authors: Welie Jos V.M.
Published: October 2020

Este documento busca revisar el estado actual del pensamiento católico sobre el respeto al agenciamiento del paciente, a la autonomía y al consentimiento. Sin embargo, no se pretende llegar a una revisión definitiva. De hecho, encontraremos un amplio apoyo de estos conceptos dentro de la bioética católica, a pesar de que persiste un importante disenso sobre aspectos específicos. En primer lugar, el artículo ofrece una descripción resumida de algunas diferencias importantes entre el entendimiento prevaleciente de la autonomía del paciente en la bioética secular y en la bioética católica. En la primera, se suele entender que el respeto a la autonomía del paciente considera las necesidades y deseos subjetivos de éste, incluso cuando, o tal vez precisamente, porque quedan fuera del ámbito de comprensión del profesional de la salud. En la segunda, este respeto se fundamenta en la dignidad delpaciente individual, que abarca los deseos y necesidades subjetivas del paciente, pero que es esencialmente un concepto objetivo y, por lo tanto, intersubjetivamente accesible. Para explicar con más detalle cómo puede respetarse el agenciamiento del paciente dentro de ese marco de referencia objetivo, en el documento se examinan diferentes tipos de agenciamiento del paciente dentro de la relación terapéutica. Para que la atención de la salud sea clínicamente óptima y éticamente sólida –como exigen los principios éticos de beneficencia y no maleficencia–, el paciente debe participar activamente en: 1) la evaluación y el diagnóstico; 2) la planificación del tratamiento, y 3) la terapia propiamente dicha. Además –como exige el principio ético del respeto a la autonomía–el proveedor de atención sanitaria debe: 4) proteger la confidencialidad del paciente; 5) proporcionarle información adecuada, y 6) obtener el consentimiento del paciente para cualquier intervención. A continuación, se examinan diferentes tipos de consentimiento. En una sección final, se revisará la cuestión de si es moralmente permisible que los proveedores de atención de la salud obliguen a los pacientes a rechazar los tratamientos que se consideren inmorales.

Objective:  Purpose of conducting this study was to evaluate the surgical outcome of open carpal tunnel release using Global Symptom Severity score (GSS) in our local setting.

Material and Methods:  This prospective analytical study was conducted in the Neurosurgery Department Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. We operated consecutive 105 Carpal tunnel syndrome cases over a period of 2 years via open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) method. All of these cases were surgically indicated. All patients were evaluated preoperatively with clinical assessment and NCS. Cases were operated under local anesthesia as a day case surgery. Patients were evaluated at 3 months follow-up visit using global symptom severity score (GSS) and compared with pre operative GSS. The paired sample test was applied to obtain p value.

Results:  Total 105 patients were operated during study period. 72 (69%) patients were women and 33 (31%) were men. The mean age of patients was 41 years. 70 (66.66%) procedures were done for the right hand and 35 (33.33%) were performed for left hand. Pre-op Mean GSS score was 27 ± 2.5 which decreased to 2.1 ± 0.43 postoperatively (P < 0.005).

Conclusion:  Carpal tunnel syndrome is more commonly affecting the dominant hand of middle aged females. Open carpal tunnel release procedure is the safe and effective treatment for this compressive neuropathy.

The ability of rainfall to promote soil disaggregation and transport depends on its intensity and distribution over time, allowing proper soil and water management practices in order to minimize their effects in and outside food production fields. The objective of this study was to verify the intensity of the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall erosivity in Goias and Federal District states using historical series of rainfall data available at the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) from 1986 to 2017. Rainfall erosivity (EI) for Goias and Federal District were estimated using the modified Fournier index. Annual average for factor R were obtained by the sum of the EI in the 12 months of the year. Data were placed to descriptive analysis and classification according to their erosive capacity. The annual mean of the factor R for the study region was 8,834±5.2 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 ano-1, being classified as a strong erosive potential. However, considering the territory, its intensity in Goiás and DF varied from very strong to moderate throughout the year, indicating the need to adopt a conservationist practice that protects the soil from the kinetic energy of rainfall. It is concluded, therefore, that the intensity and distribution of the rainfall erosivity fluctuate both between the municipalities of Goiás (from 4.514±2.5 to 11.215±1.8 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1), and throughout the year (from 180±1.5 to 1.519±4.4 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 month-1).
