Landscape information modelling: an important aspect of BIM modelling, examples of cubature, infrastructure, and planning projects
Authors: Borkowski Andrzej Szymon , Wyszomirski Michał
Published: May 2021

Land Information Modelling (LIM), increasingly popular among landscape architects and urban planners, is based on the use of urban space data that can be obtained from GIS systems. New models of buildings are simultaneously developed in BIM technology. This provokes an increasing need for integration of data from both areas for the use of shared BIM and GIS data in landscape design. The increasing popularity of the BIM technology not only forces designers to develop BIM models of buildings but also other land management objects, including infrastructure objects. Whereas it is possible to develop a model of an infrastructure object in specific BIM tools, the IFC data model for standardised exchange of BIM data does not offer the possibility to record data on objects other than buildings and their furnishings, and elements of land management are treated in a very general way. Transferring such a model by means of the IFC model requires the application of substitute classes of objects that are not relevant to the actual image of the model. Considering the above, the buildingSMART consortium conducts works on the expansion of the IFC model to permit modelling data on infrastructure objects. Provided the availability of valid spatial data from GIS systems and data concerning infrastructure objects already at the stage of design, systemic BIM and LIM can become a powerful landscape design tool based on current data and data concerning designed objects.
Conservation of Genetic Diversity of Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
Authors: ALBU Cristian , MAXIM Aurel , PÂRLICI Raluca Maria
Published: May 2021

Among the main problems encountered with crop plants, the most important one is represented by genetic erosion. At world level this issue has been debated within the Convention on Biodiversity adopted in UN Conference of Rio de Janeiro and The International Convention regarding Genetic Resources of Plants for Alimentation and Agriculture. In Europe, the regulations in this field are made by the European Directive 98/95 EEC. Across time tomatoes have suffered a heightened process of genetic diversity, phenomenon caused by industrialized farming which is based on the use of very uniform varieties with high productivity. The extension of green agriculture, has led to the use of landraces, because they respond best to the traditional farming systems. In Western Europe organizations of peasants had been founded and, they are involved in different activities aiming at conservation of traditional forms of agriculture and the use of old varieties. In Romania the institutions with continuous preoccupations in the field of vegetal genetic conservation, especially landraces, are the Gene Bank from Suceava and UASMV Cluj-Napoca. By using conservation methods (in situ and ex situ), the genetic erosion surely phenomenon of vegetal genetic resources, implicitly tomatoes, is reduced, the future generations will benefit from valuable genetic resources.

Published: May 2021

This study was conducted to identify ghrelin (GHRL) gene polymorphism within exons 2 and 3 in three chicken breeds and to determine its association with growth and linear body measurements. Three hundred one-day-old chicks comprising 100 each of three chicken breeds (FUNAAB Alpha, Noiler and Shika Brown) were used for the research and were raised for eighteen weeks. Fifty birds per breed were sampled for blood collection and Genomic DNA was extracted using Zymo miniprep kit. DNA was amplified and PCR products digested with Eco72I restriction enzyme. Growth data were analysed using Generalized Linear Model of SAS. Noiler had the highest (P <0.05) growth traits from 10 to 18 weeks among studied breeds. GHRL gene polymorphism had no significant (P >0.05) effect on growth traits.  However, interaction between GHRL gene polymorphism and chicken breeds revealed that Noiler chickens AA and AB had the best (P <0.05) productive performance from 2 to 18 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of housing systems (free vs. tie-stall) and season (winter vs. spring) on the welfare of dairy cows through indices of cleanliness, leg health (straightness, hocks and knees), lameness score, body condition and milk production. This is to test the hypothesis that dairy cows in spring and free-stalls have a better quality of well-being than those kept in tie stalls in winter. For that, 299 dairy cows of the Holstein and Montbeliard breeds were selected from dairy farms in 6 communes of the Constantine governorate in eastern Algeria. The results showed that tie-stalled farms in winter were characterized by a lack of hygiene (P <0.001), with a stall cleanliness score of 7.62 and a frequency of 32.60% of dirty to very dirty cows. In the spring, the incidence of severe lameness does not exceed 9% in farms with tie stalls and more than 41% in mild lameness in housing with free stalls (P <0.001). Cows in tie stalls show a deviation of legs of 17° to 24° (57.97%). On the other hand, more than half of cows in free stalls show integumentary lesions (alopecia and swelling) of the carpal (60.25%) and tarsal joints (54.22%) (P <0.001). The percentage of fairly lean cows (score 2-2.5), housed in tie stalls, was significantly higher (18 to 44%) with a significantly low milk production (P <0.001). These results reflect a lack of comfort in tie-stall farms during winter which has an impact on dairy performance.

Authors: CIOTEA Denisa , UNGUREANU Elena , MUSTATEA Gabriel , POPA Mona Elena
Published: May 2021

The use of seasonings is important in food industry because the bioactive compounds contained in these dried aromatic plants improve the taste and the flavor of food. These dried aromatic plants can often be contaminated with some heavy metals, polycyclic carbohydrates residues and pesticides which may occur during the cultivation operation, drying process, manufacture and conditioning. The aim of this study is to determine the contamination with heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel and cobalt) of basil (B), rosemary (R) and peppermint (M) seasonings used in Romanian cuisine. The concentration of lead ranged 0.058 - 0.643 mg.kg-1 (M), 0.209 - 0.493 mg.kg-1 (R), 0.077 - 0.139 mg.kg-1 (B). The concentration of cadmium varied: 0.004 - 0.035 mg.kg-1 (M), 0.004 - 0.007 mg.kg-1 (R), 0.002 - 0.009 mg.kg-1 (B). The concentration of chromium ranged 0.304 - 0.403 mg.kg-1 (M), 0.450 - 0.457 mg.kg-1 (R), 0.208 - 0.336 mg.kg-1 (B). The concentration of nickel varied from 0.376 - 0.848 mg.kg-1 (M), 0.354 - 0.427 mg.kg-1 (R), 0.230 - 0.334 mg.kg-1 (B). The concentration of cobalt ranged 0.037 - 0.167 mg.kg-1 (M), 0.065 - 0.137 mg.kg-1 (R), 0.112 - 0.156 mg.kg-1 (B).

Published: May 2021

Lavender cultivation in Romania is continuously increasing due to its outstanding medicinal and ornamental properties. The raw material production of lavender may be increased by mulching. The aim of this study was to analyse how mulching can affect the growth of lavender seedlings. The experiment was performed between 2018-2020 on two varieties of Lavandula angustifolia (‘Codreanca’ and ‘Sevtopolis’). Diameter growth was determined in three types of mulching: unmulched (control), straw and mulch foil. The results obtained showed that lavender diameter growth was influenced by both the type of mulching and the variety.
MUDANÇAS NAS POLÍTICAS CURRICULARES DO ENSINO MÉDIO NO BRASIL: REPERCUSSÕES DA BNCCEM NO CURRÍCULO MINEIRO
Authors: Pinto Samilla , Melo Savana
Published: May 2021

Este artigo, fundamentado em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, buscou analisar o conjunto de políticas curriculares dirigidas ao ensino médio a nível nacional, no período de 1990 a 2018 e sua expressão na Rede Estadual de Ensino de Minas Gerais. Para tanto se busca apreender as definições da Lei n. 13.415/2017, da Base Curricular desta etapa de ensino, e do documento intitulado Currículo Referência de Minas Gerais, aprovado no fim de 2020. A expectativa é apresentar elementos para a análise das repercussões da reforma do ensino médio no país e no Estado de Minas Gerais. As conclusões sinalizam que as novas configurações dirigidas à última etapa da educação básica convergem para uma formação destituída de sentido crítico e voltada para a aplicabilidade de conteúdos através de uma lista de competências e habilidades. O discurso de flexibilização é retomado na definição dos itinerários formativos, enfatizando o empreendedorismo como elemento chave para atender os requerimentos econômicos, e há forte tendência à privatização do ensino médio pela via de parcerias com o setor privado para a oferta desses itinerários, como pela possibilidade de implementação de escolas públicas com gestão privada, como vem sendo estudado pelo Governo de Minas Gerais.

Published: May 2021

This article tries to understand the intersections and differences of narratives among health professionals, users of a highly complex institution within the Unified Health System (SUS) and mothers of children with complex health conditions; also reflects on actions that can contribute to a better communication among these two actors and the formulation of guiding policies for this dialogical exchange in a more effective and efficient way. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were carried out, totaling 36 participants, including doctors, nurses, social workers, managers, cleaning professionals, front desks and users/mothers of children under treatment at this institution in Rio de Janeiro, during a six-month period. The results were treated from a qualitative-quantitative perspective using the MAXQDA® software, which supported the identification of synergies and antagonisms among the collected narratives, pointing to three main categories of narratives: communication flow between actors; the perception about the institution, including care aspects; and feelings about health, illness and death. As perspectives, we believe the results can be inspiring when reflecting on Social Determinants in Health and SUS.
The sustainability of small-scale sheep farming systems in the Northern Cape (Hantam Karoo), South Africa
Authors: Zenda M , Malan P
Published: May 2021

The objective of the study was to assess the current sustainability of small-scale sheep farming systems in the Hantam Karoo, Northern Cape Province (South Africa). The influence of economic, social, and environmental variables (indicators) in promoting the development of sustainable sheep farming was taken into account. Thirty-two small-scale sheep farmers were interviewed using questionnaires which consisted of structured and unstructured questions. The results showed that the sheep farming system was mostly not economically viable due to low sheep numbers, but partially sustainable in the social context. Small flocks result in low income and profitability which is not sustainable. Market access was not a limitation because farmers had good trade relations. Farming benefitted farmers’ families and the community and farmers had access to basic resources. Secure tenure was a major challenge to small-scale farmers. With regard to environmental variables, grazing conditions were poor. In 2017, stocking density was within the norm, which means that frequent droughts and continuous grazing methods rather than sheep stocking rates were probably responsible for poor grazing conditions. Extension advisors could teach the practice of rotational grazing and it might be a good idea to promote gender equality in order to alleviate poverty and increase food security.
Comprehensive agricultural support programme as the prime mover of agricultural development agenda in South Africa
Authors: Mncina SD , Agholor AI
Published: May 2021

The agricultural support initiatives in South Africa are numerous and are aimed at reducing poverty. One of these progressive support initiatives for agricultural development in South Africa is the Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP). The paper examined the various levels of investments in CASP, evaluated the prospects and challenges, and bench marked the national and provincial investment and implications for extension in South Africa. For the purpose of this study, qualitative methods involving the review of government commissioned reports, working papers, key debates on CASP, online sources, books, peer reviewed journals, etc. were used. The study found that prioritisation of resource allocation is essential in supporting long-term government investments for CASP. The gap in knowledge and information regarding the nature and status of CASP in agricultural development cannot be overemphasised. Reflecting on the findings, a coordinated policy environment to allow the support and participation of the private business investors to fill the investment gap in agriculture is recommended. Furthermore, investing in the prime movers of agriculture: agricultural research and development, human capital development, biophysical capital formation, and improved institutions remains distinctive.
A review of possibilities for using animal tracking devices to mitigate stock theft in smallholder livestock farming systems in rural South Africa
Authors: Zantsi S , Nkunjana T
Published: May 2021

Stock theft is among the major challenges faced by livestock farmers in South Africa. It has severe consequences especially for smallholder farmers, who collectively own a large share of the South African livestock herds but individually keep small herds. In recent years, technological improvements and innovations have made it possible to track livestock movements by using GPS animal tracking devices. Low-cost GPS has been developed and used elsewhere and in the local commercial sector. Given the well-known role of extension, i.e. information and technology dissemination, the possibility that smallholders adopt GPS animal tracking devices should be evaluated. However, very few studies have made a case for using this technology in curbing stock theft among smallholder farmers. This review therefore addresses the likelihood that smallholder livestock farmers in South Africa adopt GPS animal tracking devices to mitigate the impact of stock theft. Using a semi-systematic and a snowball literature review approach, we consulted and reviewed the relevant literature and official statistics relating to stock theft and smallholder livestock farming. Results from the reviewed literature suggest that the likelihood of GPS animal tracking device adoption by smallholders will depend on a) the awareness about the devices and how they work, b) the acuteness of stock theft for a farmer and how livestock contributes the farmer’s livelihood, and c) the income level, access to mobile phones and risk behaviour of farmers. Our literature findings identify areas for future research and may help agricultural extension personnel with future research topics.
(East) African postcolonial ecocriticism: Revisiting Okot p’ Bitek’s Song of Prisoner
Authors: Wanjala Alex Nelungo
Published: May 2021

This article celebrates Okot p’Bitek’s contribution to East African literature in general and the song school of East Africa in particular, by revisiting one of his less-known works, Song of Prisoner on the fiftieth anniversary of its publication. I subject the text to a close reading in order to demonstrate how p’Bitek uses imagery that is drawn from East Africa’s natural environment in a way that evokes issues that are an assault on the prevailing social and political order in East Africa at the time, in a nuanced manner. With the benefit of hindsight, the paper establishes that p’Bitek’s attempt to preserve his natural environment (that of East Africa) through writing it into his poetry, was a precursor for texts that would later be examined within the framework of the contemporary critical theory of postcolonial ecocriticism, and that using the text, one can narrow the scope further in a manner that takes into account the specificities of (East) African environmental literature. In so doing, the paper establishes that p’Bitek indeed highlights social realities through his poetry, in order to launch his attack on the existing neo-colonial capitalistic order prevailing at the historical moment of his writing, thus confirming that he displays a social vision that strives for decolonisation without the exploitative aftermath encapsulating modernity. The paper thus demonstrates how this poem is still relevant as a study to the student of East African literature reading it in the 21st century.
Aurelio Arturo y la poesía colombiana del siglo XX
Authors:   Universidad EAFIT, Pino Posada Juan Pablo
Published: May 2021

Echando mano de un basamento teórico-conceptual que bebe de la filosofía, la teoría literaria, la sociología y la historia, Juan Pablo Pino Posada se adentra en los pliegues de la obra del poeta colombiano Aurelio Arturo (La Unión, 1906 - Bogotá, 1974) con el propósito de estudiar las maneras en que las nociones de “espacio” y “subjetividad” se trenzan y ponen de manifiesto las tensiones propias de la modernidad tardía. Lo verdaderamente singular de este libro estriba en que su aproximación, al ser de carácter histórico-narrativo, permite pensar los tres periodos creativos de la lírica arturiana –el de su juventud, su adultez y su vejez–, y las espacialidades (sean estas vividas, imaginarias o metafóricas) en torno a las cuales dichos periodos se forjan, como ejes constitutivos de un todo, de una unidad, de un “relato” (aristotélicamente hablando) que ofrece posibles respuestas a la pregunta tardomoderna por la interacción de la subjetividad consigo misma y con el lenguaje. Dejando de lado a José Eustasio Rivera (1888-1928), cuya producción lírica continúa siendo esquiva a rotulaciones generacionales, en el transcurso de esta travesía el autor logra entroncar a Arturo con Los Nuevos (1925), Piedra y Cielo (1939-c. 1944), la revista Mito (1955-1962), el Nadaísmo (1958-1974) y la Generación desencantada (1974-c. 1990), vistos de manera sinecdótica en poetas como Rafael Maya (1897-1980), Eduardo Carranza (1913-1985), Jorge Gaitán Durán (1924-1962), Jaime Jaramillo Escobar (1932) y José Manuel Arango (1937-2002), respectivamente. Lo anterior, pese a estar ceñido al siempre canonizante método generacional (hoy tan cuestionado al interior del campo de los Estudios Literarios), revela el interés de Pino Posada por desterrar el vicio que ha hecho que cierto sector de la crítica siga viendo a Arturo como una figura “insular”, ajena a los múltiples y diversos senderos poéticos del país. Estamos ante un trabajo riguroso, sensible y necesario para los estudios poetológicos en Colombia.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production costs involved in sheep confinement fed diets containing different inclusion levels of wet brewery residue (WBR). The diets were constituted by different WBR proportions in the concentrate (0, 10, 20 and 30%). A total of 20 sheep were used, with an average body weight of 17.5 ± 1.5 kg, at 8 months of age. The experimental period lasted 77 days. The prices of feed ingredients, purchase and sale values of kg of body weight (BW) of the animals practiced in the local market and the interest rate were considered in the economic analysis, using the year 2015 as a reference. In addition, production performance, zootechnical and economic data, and investment and costing expenses were considered to determine the economic indicators. A linear response was observed in terms of average daily gain (P=0.0035) and feed efficiency (P=0.0042) in diets consisting of 20 and 30% WBR, with 0.196 kg of BW/day and 0.291 kg of BW/intake, respectively. The diet containing 20% WBR resulted in greater total production (7,503.07 kg of BW/year), greater daily production (9.78 kg of BW), and lower total expenditure on investments (R$ 0.371/kg of BW). The lowest total expenses (R$ 64,368.99) and the highest profit (R$ 1.32/kg of BW) were observed in the diet with 30% of WBR. The economic analysis showed the financial feasibility of including 20% and 30% WBR in diets for confined sheep.

A systemic approach to the study of a new multi-parameter model of the COVID-19 pandemic spread is proposed, which has the ultimate goal of optimizing the manage parameters of the model. The approach consists of two main parts: 1) an adaptive-compartmental model of the epidemic spread, which is a generalization of the classical SEIR model, and 2) a module for adjusting the parameters of this model from the epidemic data using intelligent optimization methods. Data for testing the proposed approach using the pandemic spread in some regions of the Russian Federation were collected on a daily basis from open sources during the first 130 days of the epidemic, starting in March 2020. For this, a so-called data farm was developed and implemented on a local server (an automated system for collecting, storing and preprocessing data from heterogeneous sources, which, in combination with optimization methods, allows most accurately tune the parameters of the model, thus turning it into an intelligent system to support management decisions). Among all model parameters used, the most important are the rate of infection transmission, the government actions and the population reaction.
acto de memoria, o el día que defendimos a Goya como dictador sanitario
Authors: Herrero García Roberto
Published: May 2021

Durante la actual pandemia de SARSCoV-2 distintas voces han coincidido en el uso de términos y expresiones de carácter bélico. Pero… ¿Hablamos de una anécdota o acaso hay algún tipo de motivación que explique el uso de esta lógica marcial a la hora de referirse a una crisis sanitaria? Y, si así fuese, ¿es nuevo este fenómeno?
Para responder a estas cuestiones proponemos el estudio de la polifacética (y polémica) figura del periodista y crítico artístico Eugenio Noel (1885-1936). Un autor gracias al cual podremos ver cómo los discursos higienistas del siglo XIX y XX hicieron uso de un lenguaje médico  en el que abundaban las referencias militares y autoritarias, así como la influencia decisiva que tuvieron estas mismas ideas en el devenir del mundo artístico europeo del siglo XX (especialmente en lo que se refiere a la aparición de estilos como la pintura y escultura fascistas).
Esta revisión del pasado nos permitirá hacer un ejercicio de memoria, que nos ayude a entender nuestro presente más inmediato e interrogarnos sobre nuestra responsabilidad como investigadores y artistas.

Published: May 2021

Este artículo es parte de la reflexión de una investigación más amplia de un grupo de docentes   universitarios, alumnado y personal administrativo de la Facultad xxxxxxx, que reflexiona cómo resignificar el espacio social de la propia facultad.

Situamos nuestra investigación en los relatos extraídos de los miembros del grupo en una primera fase del proyecto, donde nos preguntamos cómo nos afecta el espacio y cómo lo concebimos, qué posicionamiento pedagógico adoptamos y qué tipo de relaciones creamos si hacemos nuestra la noción de lo líquido que recoge Bauman (2006).

El objetivo principal ha consistido en trazar unas líneas que propicien nuevas estrategias pedagógicas y relacionales en nuestro centro. Para ello tomamos el Fotoensayo como una herramienta que propicia dialogar desde lo visual, generar nuevas sinergias y profundizar en la conceptualización de lo que significa reflexionar sobre el espacio social de la Facultad y su proyección pedagógica.

El soporte de proyección, junto a los avances tecnológicos y la hibridación entre arte y ciencia, se ha convertido en un espacio de experimentación abierto a ser conquistado y reconstruido. La tecnología, por tanto, ha conseguido que la instalación, gracias al uso de soportes de proyección inéditos, sea capaz de esculpir nuevos espacios capaces de reconfigurar la realidad, readaptándola y creando una nueva forma de expresión plástica. Es así como la pantalla, frágil y evasiva, todavía resulta difícil de atrapar en conceptos, pues los límites de esta nueva realidad flexible se muestran inabarcables. Sin embargo, existen trabajos donde el soporte se convierte en lugar, en espacio habitado, y el material se desvanece, se difumina, desaparece frente a nuestra mirada para brindarnos una nueva realidad, un nuevo espacio abierto a la experiencia más allá de lo emocional, psicológico y perceptivo, un espacio que se presenta palpable, a través del que nos asomamos, como si de una ventana se tratase, para ver más allá de lo imaginable, cuestionándonos la realidad misma y concediéndonos el privilegio de expandir nuestros propios límites de comprensión.
