GRAIN YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS AT DIFFERENT SOWING TIMES AND SOWING DEPTHS IN BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L. CONV. DISTICHON) UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS
Authors: Yagmur Mehmet , Sozen Omer
Published: November 2021

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different sowing dates (5th October, 20th October, 5th November, and 20th November) and sowing depths (2, 4, 6 and 8 cm) on yield and some yield characters in two rowed barley (cv. Tokak 157/37) under rainfed conditions. The field study was conducted in Kirsehir ecological condition during 2014-15 and 2015-16 winter growing seasons. Grain yield and important yield traits such as plant height, spike length, number of fertile spike per square meter, number of grain per spike and grain weight per spike were determined. Sowing dates and depths influenced significantly the grain yield and yield components in two consecutive years. Most of the yield components were adversely affected by deeper sowing depths and delayed sowing dates. Based on two-year average, the highest grain yield was recorded with 2733 kg ha-1 at 20th October sowing date and 4 cm depth; in contrast the lowest grain yield was 513 kg ha-1 by the 20th November and 8 cm depth. Keywords: Cereals, Hordeum vulgare, crop production, dryland, arid agriculture, seedling emergence, grain yield.

Published: November 2021

The 1.0 metre f/4 fast-slew Zadko Telescope was installed in June 2008 approximately seventy kilometres north of Perth at Yeal, in the Shire of Gingin, Western Australia. Since the Zadko Telescope has been in operation it has proven its worth by detecting numerous Gamma Ray Burst afterglows, two of these being the most distant 'optical transients' imaged by an Australian telescope. Other projects include a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to image potentially hazardous near Earth asteroids (2019), monitoring space weather on nearby stars (2019), and photometry of a transit of Saturn's moon Titan (2018). Another active Zadko Telescope project is tracking Geostationary satellites and attempting to use photometry to classify various space debris (defunct satellites). The Zadko Telescope's importance as a potential tool for education, training, and public outreach cannot be underestimated, as the global awareness of the importance of astronomy (and space science) as a context for teaching science continues to increase. An example of this was the national media coverage of its contribution to the discovery of colliding neutron stars in 2017, capturing the imagination of the public. In this proceeding, I will focus on the practical aspects of managing a robotic Observatory, focusing on the sustainability of the Observatory and the technical management involved in hosting different commercial projects. I will review the evolution of the Observatory, from its early, single instrument, state to its current multi-telescope and multi-instrument capabilities. I will finish by outlining the future of the Observatory and the site.

Published: November 2021

Objective: To show the experience of the Hospital de Puerto Montt on endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA) to the cavernous sinus(CS) Methods: A patient series with pituitary tumors who required surgical approach to the cavernous sinus between 2017 and2018 at the Hospital de Puerto Montt, Chile. Results: Thirteen patients, between 30 and 60-year-old, 9 women and 4 men. All thecases presented pituitary tumors, four were functioning adenomas. Imagenological evaluation was made using the Knosp scale. Inall cases the chosen approach was transpterygoid. There were no vascular complications, neither cranial nerves nor cerebrospinalfluid leaks. Resection was complete in 6/13 patients and clinical remission in 3 of 5 functioning cases. Discussion: Tumor extensionto the cavernous sinus is a situation that usually limits the intent of resection of a pituitary tumor, and also orient complimentarytreatment. Knowledge of the anatomy of the sellar and cavernous regions allow surgical approaches with less complications and highergrade of resection. Conclusion: The endonasal endoscopic approach to the cavernous sinus is possible in some patients. Staging ofthe disease, resectability and indication of complementary therapies must be performed after careful multidisciplinary evaluation.

Subpial Aspirated Cerebellar Tonsils in Pediatric Chiari I Malformation: anatomopathological study
Authors: Lisboa do Vale Bruna , Marques de Almeida Holanda Maurus , Berto Campos Diogo , Dantas Cartaxo de Abreu Pereira Moisés , Samuel Gomes Galvão da Trindade Érico
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Chiari Malformation (CM) is a condition in which ectopy or herniation of components of the posterior cranial fossa to theforamen magnum are present, and can be divided into four types. Type I (CM-I) occurs when there is protrusion of only the cerebellartonsils into the cervical spinal canal. One of the available therapeutic options is subpial aspiration. Previous anatomopathologicalstudies showed that the main alterations in the aspirated tonsils were the loss of Purkinje cells, Bergmann gliosis, cortical atrophyand neuronal changes due to hypoxia; all of them secondary to the aggression to the nervous tissue over time. These changes leadto gradual loss of function of the tissue, with compensation by other structures. Therefore, when subpial aspiration of the herniatedtonsil is performed in adults, there are no negative consequences to the patient in the future, as concluded by many studies targetingadults with CM. However, studies in children with CM are scarce, which means that we cannot affirm in which age the histologicalchanges occur. Hence, we cannot determine whether or not the surgical removal of this tissue in childhood leads to future losses tothe patient. Objective: To analyze the main histological aspects of cerebellar tonsils in children with Chiari I Malformation whounderwent subpial aspiration, to help clarify the natural history of this pathology, as well as to help determine the prognosis of thispopulation when treated with this technique. Method: We analyzed the histopathology of the tonsils removed with subpial aspirationtechnique, in several hospitals of João Pessoa, Brazil, from children diagnosed with Chiari I malformation. Results: The slides of alltonsils showed the same histological changes: Bergmann gliosis, loss of Purkinje cells, atrophy of the cerebellar cortex and meningealfibrosis. The obtained results were similar to the ones found in previous studies carried out in adults. Conclusion: The cerebellaranatomopathological alterations secondary to Chiari I Malformation, which leads to loss of tissue function, seem to appear early inlife, suggesting the safety of the subpial aspiration in pediatric patients. However, more extensive studies and long-term follow-up ofpatients are needed to establish with more precision the natural history of the disease.

Published: November 2021

Objective: to evaluate the hormone profiles of patients with pituitary adenomas operated on in Hospital das Clínicas, UniversidadeFederal de Goiás (HC-UFG), correlating them with the variables age, sex, and Knosp grade. Method: This is a retrospective quantitativestudy of medical records, including a total population of 20 patients diagnosed with pituitary adenomas operated on using the pureendoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. The hormone profiles of the three types of pituitary adenoma prevalent in this institutionwere analyzed: nonfunctioning macroadenoma, growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (acromegaly), and adrenocorticotropichormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (Cushing’s disease). Pre and postoperative hormone values were statistically paired with thevariables selected. Results: The global levels of the specific hormones of each disease decreased after surgery. However, no statisticalsignificance was found between the variables selected in this study and the pre and postoperative hormone values. Conclusion:The main surgical goal, the specific hormones decrease, was achieved in all the surgeries performed. Analyzing the relationshipbetween the variables and the hormone profiles, we conclude that age, sex, and Knosp grade did not influence the results obtained.
Percurso histórico da educação especial à educação inclusiva em Moçambique: análise de políticas educacionais 1990-2019
Authors: Silva Delfina Benjamim Massangaie da
Published: November 2021

Este trabalho é resultado das reflexões sobre a inclusão de alunos com necessidades educativas especiais (NEE) nas escolas de ensino comum em Moçambique. Aponta-se como problemática a questão: quais dinâmicas foram traçadas para a inclusão desses alunos, considerando as diretrizes internacionais? Para efetivação deste trabalho, recorreu-se aos pressupostos da pesquisa qualitativa, com foco na análise de documentos normativos que tratam das políticas educacionais, subsidiada por trabalhos já realizados. As análises foram realizadas à luz das contribuições do pensamento sistêmico. O artigo analisa as políticas educacionais, com foco na inclusão escolar, considerando o percurso histórico da educação especial e a influência das instituições multilaterais na educação. Para esta discussão, parte-se do pressuposto de que as políticas educacionais refletem as intenções e as ações do governo e as escolas são tomadas como espaço de "implementação" dessas políticas a partir das matrículas de alunos com NEE. Discutir as políticas educacionais significa abordar as reformas contidas nos documentos normativos que supõem uma reorganização dos subsistemas de ensino, da inclusão escolar e da melhoria da qualidade de ensino. Os resultados demonstram que as políticas educacionais são abrangentes, mas, se pensadas no contexto da inclusão de alunos com NEE, ainda não respondem às necessidades desses alunos.

A discussão neste artigo tem como objetivo compreender o que as pesquisas no campo da educação inclusiva revelam sobre o uso das tecnologias digitais no atendimento educacional especializado (AEE) em salas de recursos multifuncionais (SRM), referente ao período de 2016 a 2020. Na realização de levantamento bibliográfico foram identificados 11 artigos que versavam sobre a temática, adquiridos no portal de Periódicos da CAPES, Google Acadêmico e Scielo. Os resultados revelam que as tecnologias digitais podem potencializar aprendizagens dos alunos público-alvo da educação especial (PAEE) e fortalecer o processo de inclusão em todos os âmbitos. São reconhecidas algumas problemáticas no AEE que necessitam ser superadas, tais como: espaços reduzidos e pouco acessíveis para o desenvolvimento das atividades pedagógicas; carência de qualificação docente e falta de articulação entre o professor do AEE e o professor da sala regular; ausência ou restrição de Internet e escassez de projetos e estudos voltados ao PAEE. Aponta-se para a necessidade de políticas públicas que assegurem a implementação das tecnologias digitais no processo educativo de estudantes PAEE, visando a acessibilidade e o desenvolvimento dos estudantes.

Published: November 2021

O Brasil é um país constituído das e pelas imigrações, recebendo destaque na última década, aquelas provenientes do Sul Global, como Haiti e Venezuela. Considerando a chegada de crianças pequenas que possuem uma diferença na forma de comunicação em virtude das imigrações, o presente estudo objetivou prospectar e analisar os números referentes à matrícula de crianças pequenas em situação de imigrante no município de Porto Alegre – RS, direcionando o olhar à educação infantil. Como referencial sobre as imigrações, destacam-se Bulla et al. (2017; 2019), Silva et al. (2018), Pereira (2014; 2019), e na educação infantil, Barbosa (2010). É notável que, no Brasil, crianças, independentemente de sua origem e de sua situação jurídica, possuem direito de acesso igualitário à educação pública. A prospecção de dados ocorreu por meio dos Microdados disponibilizados pelo Censo Escolar (2019; 2020), o que se constituiu como disparador fundamental para o processo metodológico a fim de analisarmos como vem ocorrendo a inserção das crianças em situação de imigrantes no contexto escolar estudado. As análises apontam o alto número de matrículas em escolas privadas comunitárias e uma nova tendência em 2020, haja vista o crescimento do número de matrículas de crianças venezuelanas em relação a 2019.

Published: November 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as ações desenvolvidas por uma escola pública de educação infantil no período anterior ao contexto pandêmico para iniciar uma proposta pedagógica de desemparedamento. Avaliamos em que medida a proposta pode se tornar adequada para o retorno do atendimento presencial em escolas dessa etapa de ensino. A partir da metodologia de pesquisa autobiográfica, refletimos sobre quais são as possibilidades e os desafios para a continuidade da proposta nesta escola do ponto de vista da gestão escolar. Os benefícios de uma organização das experiências das crianças ao ar livre são abordados em estudos teóricos e documentos legais através dos conceitos de espaço e de desemparedamento da infância. Concluímos que será preciso garantir um retorno seguro, na perspectiva dos protocolos sanitários e do distanciamento entre os sujeitos, porém, sem esquecer da oferta de um espaço de acolhimento e de aprendizagem qualificado para as crianças. Nesse sentido, o uso dos espaços externos e da proposta de desemparedamento, adaptado ao contexto, surge como uma possibilidade viável, pertinente e significativa.
The Perception of Risk Disclosure Characteristics on the Credit Default Swap Market—An Automated Analysis
Authors: Nagel Deborah Yvonne , Fuhrmann Stephan , Tietmeyer Raphael , Guenther Thomas W.
Published: November 2021

SYNOPSIS

This paper evaluates the associations between credit default swap (CDS) spreads and risk disclosure characteristics, especially the expected qualitative and the expected quantitative impacts of risks on companies' future performance and information on risk management. We find that CDS investors can benefit from information on expected risk impacts and from information on risk management, which is important for the current discussion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on risk disclosure regulation. However, for companies, the disclosure of such information can be either beneficial or costly, depending on the initial risk perception of CDS investors prior to the publication of risk disclosures and on the disclosed risk factors. Furthermore, we expand the literature by automatically measuring the mentioned risk disclosure characteristics using dictionary-based approaches.

Published: November 2021

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that intestinal dysbiosis contributes to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases in dialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on various inflammatory parameters in hemodialysis (HD) patients.Methods: Twenty-two patients with maintenance HD were enrolled. These patients were treated twice a day with 2.0 ×1010 colony forming units of a combination of Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 and Bifidobacterium longum BORI for 3 months. The microbiome and fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were analyzed. The percentages of CD14+ CD16+ proinflammatory monocytes and CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs) before and after probiotic supplementation were determined by flow cytometry. Serum levels of calprotectin and cytokine responses upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge were compared before and after probiotic supplementation.Results: Fecal SCFAs increased significantly after probiotic supplementation. Serum levels of calprotectin and interleukin 6 upon LPS stimulation significantly decreased. The anti-inflammatory effects of probiotics were associated with a significant increase in the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Tregs (3.5% vs. 8.6%, p < 0.05) and also with a decrease of CD14+ CD16+ proinflammatory monocytes (310/mm2 vs. 194/mm2, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation reduced systemic inflammatory responses in HD patients and this effect was associated with an increase in Tregs and a decrease in proinflammatory monocytes. Hence, targeting intestinal dysbiosis might be a novel strategy for decreasing inflammation and cardiovascular risks in HD patients.

Authors: Sembiring Ruth Agnesia , Subekti Tia
Published: November 2021

Keberadaan Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) di Indonesia bisa dibilang stagnan dan hanya mampu di pasar lokal. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana UMKM dikelola berdasarkan peran serta pola dalam kegiatan ekspor dengan konsep governance. Tata kelola UMKM memiliki visi untuk melibatkan aktor-aktor: pemerintah, masyarakat dan sektor swasta. Dengan menggunakan studi kualitatif, kajian ini menggunakan data primer melalui wawancara mendalam kepada pihak Dinas Koperasi, Usaha Mikro dan Perdagangan (DISKUMDAG) Kota Batu, dan tiga UMKM pelaku ekspor di Kota Batu; serta dokumentasi media massa maupun tabloid yang memuat informasi mengenai ketiga UMKM yang menjadi fokus kajian. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi terhadap lokasi dan kegiatan UMKM pelaku ekspor dan wawancara melalui pertemuan secara langsung maupun pertemuan secara tidak langsung terhadap narasumber. Kajian ini menganalisis aktor dalam tata kelola UMKM berkualitas internasional, pemasaran UMKM ke pasar internasional dan relasi antaraktor governance dalam rantai ekspor UMKM. Pemerintah memberi pelatihan dan pendampingan, menyelenggarakan pameran UMKM, dan program KITE. Pelaku UMKM sebagai bagian dari masyarakat memiliki tenaga kerja, memperoleh bahan baku, dan memiliki infrastruktur produksi. Pihak swasta membeli produk UMKM, memberi bantuan dana, memasarkan produk UMKM, dan mengirim produk UMKM keluar negeri. Governance model Liberal-democratic digunakan dalam tata kelola UMKM berbasis ekspor di Kota Batu, sehingga relasi pelaku UMKM dengan buyer dari luar negeri terjalin sebelum UMKM terbentuk dan terdaftar secara legal melalui dinas pemerintah. Dengan demikian, kajian ini menemukan bahwa pemerintah mengambil porsi sedikit dalam tata kelola UMKM berkualitas ekspor di Kota Batu. Kehadiran pemerintah dirasakan pada tahap perizininan dan pemenuhan syarat ekspor.
Bumi di Bawah Tekanan: COVID-19 dan Polusi Plastik
Authors: Roxanne Maya Nabila
Published: November 2021

Sampah plastik merupakan tantangan yang memprihatinkan dan sebagian besar disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan, kemajuan, dan modernisasi. Kehadiran COVID-19 yang bermula di kota Wuhan di Tiongkok kemudian menyebar dengan cepat ke berbagai belahan negara di dunia telah merubah segala bentuk kegiatan dan penutupan akses dalam berbagai sektor oleh pemerintahan di seluruh dunia hingga sebagian besar pekerjaan terpaksa dilakukan dari rumah. Pemerintah Indonesia menerapkan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) yang mengakibatkan perubahan tatanan kehidupan mulai dari adaptasi kebiasaan baru untuk memakai masker setiap hari hingga ketergantungan rumah tangga pada layanan pengiriman baik makanan maupun belanja kebutuhan harian yang berdampak pada meningkatnya volume sampah plastik. Dengan studi literatur dan data sekunder dari portal berita, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perubahan perilaku konsumsi dalam rumah tangga yang terjadi secara daring selama pandemi yang mengakibatkan peningkatan polusi plastik pada lingkungan dengan menggunakan konsep Mary Douglas tentang “matter out of place” dan konsep material culture. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketergantungan masyarakat akan plastik secara global bertambah saat COVID-19. Konsumsi pembelanjaan daring berbentuk paket meningkat menjadi 62% dan layanan pesan antar makanan sebesar 47%. Hal ini perlu diimbangi dengan pengelolaan sampah yang lebih terstruktur sehingga tidak memicu krisis lingkungan di masa depan, pasalnya 96% pembelanjaan daring tersebut mengandung materi plastik yang berimplikasi pada peningkatan persentasi volume sampah plastik dan menimbulkan kekhawatiran jangka panjang yang serius dari perspektif lingkungan.

Penelitian ini dilakukan di dua tempat yaitu Pulau Komodo dan Pulau Rinca yang berada dalam Kawasan Taman Nasional Komodo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Informan yang diwawancara adalah tokoh masyarakat, kepala desa, komunitas adat, dan komunitas nelayan. Proses analisis data dilakukan melalui pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pertama, kelangkaan sumberdaya air tawar di Kawasan Taman Nasional Komodo tidak menimbulkan terjadinya konflik dalam masyarakat, dan kedua tidak terjadi migrasi penduduk secara besar-besaran dari wilayah langka air ke wilayah lain. Faktor pen dukung kondisi ini adalah nilai-nilai budaya masyarakat yang menjunjung tinggi sikap gotong royong dan saling percaya yang menciptakan harmoni sosial. Temuan ini menjadi penemuan baru dari pengembangan teori Homer-Dixon dan Gleick yang menyatakan kelangkaan sumberdaya alam menciptakan konflik, namun tidak terjadi dalam konteks masyarakat di Pulau Komodo dan Pulau Rinca.

Education is a critical component that cannot be separated from an individual’s life. One of many important factors that could support, encourage, and give zeal in the learning process is motivation. The COVID-19 pandemic nowadays indirectly triggers a rapid and drastic change in the learning process, one of them being lecture that must be held online. This repeated cross-sectional research aimed to give a description regarding the fluctuation of students’ academic motivation level before, in the beginning, and until one-year after online learning. The data used in this study are primary and secondary data which are collected gradually and analyzed using Summary Independent Sample T-Test. The result of this research showed no significant differences in academic motivation before COVID-19 and during the early days of Learning from Home (µbefore = 4.777; µbeginning = 4.808; sig = 0.432), nevertheless, a significant decrease is observable one year after the online learning (µnow = 4.345; sigbefore = <0.001; sigbeginning = <0.001). The decrease in students’ academic motivation is certainly a crucial problem that is prioritized to be resolved. Hence, lecturers need to adapt with this change and create learning innovation in order to trigger students’ learning motivation.

Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, most higher education institutions have shifted to online learning to sustain the existence of the universities. However, the readiness and effectiveness of private higher education institutions in Indonesia, especially in Kalimantan, are still questionable. This study focused on analyzing and understanding the academic technology experience and preference for online learning in Indonesian higher education institutions from the students' perspectives. A survey of 302 respondents from private higher education institutions was corroborated with semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that the majority of the respondents have limited access to technology devices and ownership. Most of them need academic features integrated into the learning management system for their successful study. The majority of the respondents preferred to have a completely face-to-face class, but they are receptive to online learning. However, they need to get situated in academic situations that facilitate their technology literacies and skills. Also, the institutions and lecturers should go in the same direction. Therefore, the data sources can contribute meaningful insights for policy-makers to design accessible and adaptive online learning for the students.
