Authors: Sobkowiak M. , Ples M. , Wolański W. , Wei R. , Majewski W. , Kaspera W.
Published: July 2023

Aneurysms are one of the most common unexplored causes of death. There are many studies conducted by scientists around the world on this issue. The main problem raised is the cause of aneurysms. Here, the division includes several branches, i.e. genetic conditions, lifestyle, eg. smoking, and finally hemodynamic factors of blood flow. It is well known that the aneurysm is formed and ruptured at the site of high wall shear stress (WSS). This paper presents the comparison of results of CFD blood flow simulations with experimental values obtained with the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method in a 3D model of a cerebral aneurysm. A 3D model of a cerebral aneurysm was developed using specific patient CT data. The hemodynamical parameters were analysed for different flow rates in a 3D model under pulsatile flow conditions. The CFD simulation was done using Ansys CFX software. Results of the simulation were validated with the experimental PIV method. Two different PIV methods were employed: traditional PIV based on cross-correlation (CC) algorithms and Artificial Intelligence PIV (AI PIV) based on Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks. The obtained results showed a better correlation between CFD simulation and types of PIV analysis for data of AI PIV, which allows for a much higher spatial resolution of the resulting velocity field. Analysis of the results was promising and showed that AI PIV could be used to get accurate results.

Published: July 2023

Optical flow provides an opportunity to e levate the resolution and s ensitivity of deflection se nsing in background oriented schlieren (BOS). Despite extensive relevant literature within the field of computer v ision, with regards to BOS, there is a lack of proper quantification of its abilities and l imitations. Thus, this study performs a comparative assessment characterizing accuracy and resolution limits in different flow field scenarios utilizing background patterns generated with speckle and wavelet noise distributions. Accordingly, a synthetic assessment over direct numerical simulations of a buoyancy driven turbulence is performed with variations introduced in the background patterns and operational parameters of optical flow where a c lear s uperiority o f a ccuracy a nd r esolvable r ange o f density gradient amplitudes over cross-correlation is demonstrated. Moreover, an experimental assessment of supersonic flow features over multiple models is conducted to characterize the influence of experimental considerations related to the application of optical flow in BOS and its comparative performance against the block-matching counterpart.
Bootstrap Probability Errors of the Whittle MLE for Linear Regression Processes with Strongly Dependent Disturbances
Authors: Aga Mosisa
Published: July 2023

This paper determines bounds on the asymptotic orders of the coverage probability errors of parametric bootstrap confidence intervals (CIs) and tests for the covariance parameters of a time series generated by a regression model with Gaussian, stationary, and strongly dependent errors. The CIs and tests are based on the plug-in Whittle maximum

likelihood (PWML) estimators. It is shown that, under some sets of conditions on the regression coefficients, the spectral density function, and the parameter values, the bounds on the coverage probability errors of symmetric two-sided and one-sided parametric bootstrap confidence intervals on the plug-in Whittle log-likelihood function are shown to be O(n^{-3/2}\ln{n}) and O(n^{-1}\ln{n}), respectively. Apart from the \ln{n} term, the magnitudes of the coverage probability errors of the one-sided bootstrap confidence intervals for our model is shown to be essentially the same as that of the independent and identically distributed (iid) data. The error for the two-sided confidence intervals is not as small as the error O(n^{-2}) that has been established for many confidence intervals in the literature, see Hall (1992), pp 102-108.

Authors: Zhang Y. M. , Wang F. , van Soolingen D. , Anthony R. M.
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical characteristics and laboratory results of pulmonary TB (PTB) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) and the relationship between haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) concentration and mycobacterial load at county level area in Sichuan Province,
China.METHODS: A retrospective study was performed from January 2018 to July 2019 inJianyang People’s Hospital, Sichuan Province. Clinical characteristics and laboratory results of newly diagnosed TB patients were collected. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression
analyses were performed. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare HbA1c level and mycobacterial load.RESULTS: The final sample included 415 patients with TB, of whom 45 were diagnosed with DM (10.8%). Uni-variable logistic regression showed that PTB patients with concomitant
DM were more likely to present with haemoptysis, positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear, cavity, higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), higher serum C-reactive protein (CRP), lower serum albumin (ALB), or higher fasting blood glucose (FBG). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed
that AFB smear positivity (OR 15.81, 95% CI 3.09–80.95) and FBG (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.53–2.31) were independent risk factors of DMPTB. The mycobacterial load was heaviest when the HbA1c was 7.9 mmol/L (95% CI 7.35–11.1) and declined along with HbA1c rising up. But it has not
been significantly associated with HbA1c.CONCLUSIONS: Patients with PTB over 45 years old, with haemoptysis, positive AFB, cavity, higher ESR, higher CRP, lower ALB or higher FBG are more likely to present with concomitant DM. Patients with PTB with these factors need to be targeted
for DM screening. The mycobacterial load has not been significantly associated with HbA1c.

BACKGROUND: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are not widely used for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and multidrug- or rifampicin-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB). We describe the implementation aspects of a new integrated model of care in Armenia and the perceptions
of the healthcare staff and patients.METHODS: We used qualitative methods, including a desktop review and semi-structured individual interviews with healthcare staff and with patients receiving HCV and MDR/RR-TB treatment.RESULTS: The new integrated model resulted in
simplified management of HCV and MDR/RR-TB at public TB facilities. Training on HCV was provided for TB clinic staff. All MDR/RR-TB patients were systematically offered HCV testing and those diagnosed with HCV, offered treatment with DAAs. Treatment monitoring was performed by TB staff in
coordination with a hepatologist. The staff interviewed had a positive opinion of the new model. They suggested that additional training should be provided. Most patients were fully satisfied with the care received. Some were concerned about the increased pill burden.CONCLUSION:
Integrating HCV treatment into MDR/ RR-TB care was feasible and appreciated by patients and staff. This new model facilitated HCV diagnosis and treatment among people with MDR/RR-TB. Our results encourage piloting this model in other settings.
Discurso da "grande" mídia impressa sobre a questão do acesso a água e esgoto nas favelas do Rio de Janeiro na perspectiva do jornal “O Globo” de 1960 a 2020
Authors: Kleiman Mauro , Soares Gabriela Hafner
Published: July 2023

O artigo tem como norte analisar as perspectivas e os olhares da imprensa sobre os fenômenos ligados aos processos de favelização que ocorreram entre 1960-2020 no Rio de Janeiro, tendo como foco principal as questões de água e esgoto, para que a partir disto e com um olhar antropossociológico fosse possível identificar quais os tipos de categorias e subjetividades foram atribuídas pela mídia à essa população e suas condições de acesso a serviços básicos à vida urbana utilizando como estrutura metodológica abordagens documentais provenientes da coleta de dados primários identificados no Jornal O Globo. Concluímos que apesar de haver algumas narrações que edificam e ressignificam a comunidade ainda é no campo  das exceções que elas se encontraram, a naturalização da exclusão e da marginalidade ainda se mostrou característica estruturante.

A deficiência da enzima glicose 6-fosfato desidrogenase (G6PD) se trata de uma condição genética a hemólise, que afeta cerca de 400 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo, sendo no Brasil uma prevalência estimada da doença em torno de 7%. A criação de programas educativos quanto a esclarecimentos as famílias sobre o manejo da deficiência de G6PD, são imprescindíveis com propósito de evitar a ocorrência de anemia hemolítica. O objetivo desse trabalho foi a aplicação de um formulário remoto para seguidores do perfil no Instagram Mães que cuidam G6PD e Mães G6PD no Facebook, para que os dados obtidos ampliem a  compreensão do manejo familiar de deficientes de G6PD após o diagnóstico. O presente estudo identificou que orientações quanto as restrições alimentares e farmacológicas são dadas aos familiares e pacientes portadores da deficiência de G6PD no momento do diagnóstico, contudo considera que as orientações sobre a consulta de rótulos dos alimentos segundo a INS e ao consumo de feijão de fava ainda são falhas. Por fim os dados ainda reforçam a criação de núcleos ou grupos de assistência ao deficiente de G6PD, que possam contribuir com as orientações de cunho preventivo, reduzindo assim sobremaneira o risco de crises hemolíticas aos portadores dessa afecção.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar o uso e a ocupação do solo na sub-bacia do Ribeirão Monte Alegre (BHRMA), como forma de subsidiar melhorias quanto à conservação ambiental aliada às atividades antrópicas locais. De forma a cumprir esse objetivo, utilizou-se o programa ArcGis®, com as bases cartográficas do GEOBASES/ES, do Instituto Jones dos Santos Neves, e da Agência Nacional de Águas, no Geobases, foram adquiridas feições de uso e ocupação das terras para o Espírito Santo referentes a dois mapeamentos: o primeiro, nos anos de 2007 a 2008, e o segundo, de 2012 a 2015. Em layout do ArcGis, as feições foram editadas, delimitando o uso e a ocupação da terra na área de estudo. As classes de uso e ocupação foram identificadas e, posteriormente, quantificadas, através da conversão da tabela para planilha do Excel. Há grande predomínio da pastagem e cafeicultura, embora esta tenha decrescido, principalmente levando em conta que o manejo indevido desses espaços culmina em danos ambientais severos. A vegetação nativa apresentou percentuais aceitáveis, mas seu decréscimo, se torna um motivo de preocupação quanto à sua preservação. A silvicultura do eucalipto foi a classe que mais aumentou e, embora com baixos percentuais, necessita de um planejamento correto. Todavia, a macega representa o principal problema na BHRMA. Assim, medidas que consideram o aproveitamento das áreas de macega, o uso de sistemas agroflorestais em detrimento ao monocultivo e um planejamento antrópico conservacionista são relevantes.

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a crop with wide commercial potential, due to the broad adaptability of cultivation and use conditions, but commercial initiatives are deficient. This scenario extends to academic research, which also focuses little on understanding the involved processes from the germination of its seeds to the correct management of adult plants. In this context, the current study seeks to identify the primary metabolites stored in the safflower seed and to evaluate how the mobilization of these reserves occurs during seed germination and seedling establishment. Safflower seeds of the cultivar S-351 produced in the experimental field of Universidade Federal de Jataí, from the second season of 2017/2018, were used. To obtain the seedlings, safflower seeds were sown in moistened sand with 60% retention capacity and kept at 25 °C. At 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15 and 22 days after sowing, the seedlings were subjected to analysis of length and histological characterization of cotyledons, the latter of which also evaluated at 12 h after sowing. Biochemical (carbohydrate, protein, lipid and chlorophyll) and anatomical analyses were performed to assess reserve mobilization, both of which were evaluated at five germination times (12h, 3, 5, 8, 15 and 22 days after sowing). The data regarding the periods during reserve mobilization were subjected to regression analysis. The main source of reserve in safflower is lipids, followed by carbohydrates and proteins, with reductions of 37% for lipids, 3% for carbohydrates and 0.5% for proteins, during germination and seedling development. The mobilization of reserves of safflower seeds was accompanied by changes of cell features, which became vacualized and with multiple plastids, and by the synthesis of chlorophyll a, which peaked between 9 and 11 days after sowing, followed by the final reduction caused by senescence.

The article presents the cultural history of the term post-German. This approach goes beyond linguistic analysis apart from the dictionary meanings of the word, the author presents the history of changes in its meaning since the Second World War. The word appeared at the end of the war and was almost immediately included in the political context and was subject to censorship restrictions in connection with the ideology of the eternally Polish Regained Lands in force in the new Polish post-war territories. The category of post-German gained a special role in literature after the cultural breakthrough of 1989 in the trend of small homelands, which was also inspired by the German critical Heimatliteratur. It also meant a specific theme, the creation of the depicted world and a narrative perspective in this type of literature, unique compared to other national literatures.

The modernization of digital systems requires that every activity can be reached from various places, including financial activities. This study aims to prove whether there is an effect of perceived usefulness, perceived convenience of use, security, and system quality on the actual use of accounting information systems by mobile banking users. This study used a sample of students in Purwokerto, with the provision that a student uses more than one mobile banking, to assess the usefulness, convenience, security, and quality of the system, as well as satisfaction with using mobile banking. This activity increases when all the conveniences can be felt by mobile banking users in transactions. Respondents in this study are students who use more than one mobile banking. This is useful for assessing how satisfied students are with using mobile-banking applications. The results showed that perceived convenience and usefulness had no effect on the actual use of accounting information systems. While the variables of security and system quality have an influence on the actual use of accounting information systems.

Introdução: O presente artigo retrata a Síndrome de Sweet (SS) e os aspectos biopsicossociais envolvidos nos portadores dessa afecção. A SS é uma dermatose rara, de alta complexidade que se traduz em desconforto físico e consequências estéticas e psicológicas. Metodologia: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar por meio da revisão de literatura, características fisiopatológicas, incidência, diagnóstico, tratamento e impactos na qualidade de vida dos pacientes portadores de SS. Foram selecionados 14 artigos nas bases eletrônicas Scielo, PubMed e Google Acadêmico, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol a partir do ano 2000, com utilização dos descritores “síndrome de sweet”, “impactos” e “biopsicossocial”. Os artigos que não condizem com a temática central foram descartados.  Discussão:  A Síndrome de Sweet, ou dermatose neutrofílica febril, se trata de uma doença inflamatória sistêmica rara e de alta complexidade. Sua patogênese ainda não está completamente estabelecida, entretanto são documentadas associações da SS com infecções prévias, doenças inflamatórias, gestação, neoplasias e uso de certas drogas, que parecem desencadear uma reação de hipersensibilidade de citocinas, seguida de infiltração densa de neutrófilos na derme. A SS se caracteriza pelo surgimento agudo de febre, além de outros sintomas constitucionais, associado a neutrofilia periférica e a manifestações cutâneas como pápulas e/ou placas eritemato-dolorosas, que predominam em face, pescoço, tórax, dorso e extremidades superiores. Ademais, são comuns acometimentos extra cutâneos com envolvimentos de diversos outros órgãos. Essa ampla gama de sintomas impacta nos âmbitos físico, psicológico e social do paciente, que se depara com uma doença sistêmica rara e complexa que provoca medo, inseguranças, além de redução da autoestima e da qualidade de vida. Ademais, em certos casos, recidivas dos sintomas são comuns mesmo após o tratamento, o que se traduz em impactos a longo prazo da doença. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstraram a necessidade de abordagens interdisciplinares no tratamento de pacientes de SS, que valorizem não só as lesões dermatológicas, como também os aspectos emocionais e sociais que afetam consideravelmente esses pacientes.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of age of seedlings, cultivars and weed management on weed dynamics, NPK removal and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under SRI at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during 2010 and 2011 in split-plot design replicated thrice. The tender aged seedling (10 days) and hybrid rice cultivar PHB 71 had significantly marked potential to minimize the weed dynamics of grassy weeds (Echinochloa spp. and Cynodon dactylon), sedges (Fimbristylis miliacea and Cyperus spp.) and BLWs (Ammania baccifera and Ludwigia parviflora) significantly that resulted in marked reduction on total weed density, weed dry weight, weed index resulted in higher weed control efficiency over older seedling (15 days) of NDR 359. Four times cono-weeding at 10, 20, 30 and 40 DAT minimised grassy weeds over rest of the weeding treatments, but at par with pre and post-emergence application of pretilachlor + bispyribac-Na herbicides in respect of sedges and BLWs with total weed density that resulted in improving weed index due to higher weed control efficiency over 15 days old seedlings and other weed management treatment during both the years of study. Similarly, transplanting of younger seedlings (10 days) of PHB 71 produced significantly higher rice yield under 4 times cono-weeding closely followed by pre and post-emergence application of pretilachlor + bispyribac-Na. Significantly lower NPK removal by weeds at 45 DAT recorded with 10 days old seedling of PHB-71 under 4 times cono-weeding at 10, 20, 30 and 40 DAT (W4), though remained at par with pre and post-emergence application of pretilachlor + bispyribac-Na.

At present, supplementation of food is of great interest because of increasing nutritional awareness among the consumers. Supplementation with bengal gram is one way to meet the needs of dietary fiber particularly in convenient foods. Hence, an attempt has been made to develop value added dietary fiber supplement with acceptable sensory attributes. Three types of dietary fiber supplements, viz. cardamom flavor, cocoa flavor and sugar free flavor were developed. Cardamom flavor dietary fiber supplement was developed by the addition of bengal gram, fox nut, almonds, powdered sugar and cardamom powder at different levels. Cocoa flavor dietary fiber supplement was developed by the addition of cocoa powder with same ingredients whereas, the sugar free dietary fiber supplement was prepared without the addition of sugar with same ingredients. The nutritional and storage quality evaluation of the best accepted dietary fiber supplement were estimated. The findings indicated that cocoa flavor dietary fiber supplement prepared with bengal gram (25.6 g), fox nut (25.6 g), almonds (12 g) powdered sugar (28 g) and cocoa powder (8.8 g), cardamom flavor dietary fiber supplement with same ingredients at same ratio was best accepted, as compared to the sugar free dietary fiber supplement. Among the various types of dietary fiber supplements, cocoa flavor dietary fiber supplement was most accepted. There were significant increases in appearance, flavor, taste, over all acceptability and moisture; whereas, fat, total ash, crude fiber found to be constant. The developed dietary fiber supplement has a shelf-life of two and half months.

Management of nutrients in guava refers (Psisdium guajava L.) to maintenance of the soil fertility and plant nutrient supply to an optimum level for sustaining the desired crop productivity and fruit quality through optimization of benefits from all the possible sources in an integrated manner. Qualitative and quantitative attributes of guava fruit cv. Lucknow 49 were analyzed with the aim of corresponding the nutrients to the quality of the fruit where fertilizer dose of N were manipulated in different treatments. Soil and leaf study were conducted to analyze the status of nutrients in guava. The pooled analysis of two year data indicated that after fruit harvest the highest soil organic carbon (0.72%) was obtained with the treatment comprising (Azotobacter + 100% N poultry manure. Soil N and P (271.36 and 19.86 kg/ha), Ca and Mg (7.12 and 2.82 meq 100/g soil), respectively, were recorded maximum with the treatment comprising Azotobacter + 50% N poultry manure + 50% N urea. The same treatment also showed highest leaf N and P (1.78 and 0.16%), Ca and Mg (2.09 and 0.91%) contents, respectively, on dry weight basis. The highest soil K (148.53 kg/ha) and leaf K (1.27% on dry weight basis) contents were obtained with the application of Azotobacter + 75% N poultry manure + 25% N urea. The pooled analysis of two year data also indicated that 50% N poultry manure + 50% N urea showed highest fruit yield (42.89 kg/plant), maximum fruit length (8.47 cm), breadth (8.02 cm), weight (248.80 g) and pulp weight (218.68 g) while, Azotobacter + 50% N/tree through FYM + 50% N/tree through inorganic fertilizer showed highest TSS (13.01Â°B), total sugars (8.68%) and minimum physiological loss in weight (13.20%) after 10 days during storage under ambient conditions. The results suggested that fertilization of guava with chemical fertilizers can be minimized when nitrogen is applied half with poultry manure and half with urea augmented with Azotobacter.

Published: July 2023

With the aim of developing an effective protocol for virus elimination from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plantlets, thermotherapy coupled with isolating the first nodal cuttings by in vitro culture was successful to potato virus A (PVA) elimination. The survival ratio of potato plantlets was affective by thermotherapy temperatures and durations. The optimal thermotherapy temperature was 36±1 oC with highest survival ratio and effective elimination. The results of RT-PCR indicated that the regenerated plantlets obtained from the first cycle (four weeks) of thermotherapy in daytime at 36±1 oC with light intensity 40 mmole/m/s for 12 hr, and 20±1 oC in darkness for 12 hr had PVA infected. While isolated the first nodal cuttings and followed by thermotherapy at the first cycle conditions for another two weeks, the PVA could be eliminated. Thermotherapy was given by culturing the nodal cutting from the infected of PVA for six weeks in total on MS medium, and the PVA-free plantlets were obtained. In concluded that the protocol of thermotherapy coupled with isolating the first nodal cuttings by in vitro culture in the study can be effectively used for virus free plantlets in potato, and probably also for other vegetable propagated plant species.

Published: July 2023

Seeds of three cultivars of okra (cv. A-4, Phule Utkarsha and VRO-6) were subjected to four seed priming methods, namely, hydropriming, osmopriming, halopriming and solid matrix (SM) priming comprising a total of 18 treatments of different priming combinations along with control. The observations of selected physiological parameters - seed germination, seedling vigour, vigour index, and field performance of three cultivars were recorded. Cultivar- specificity with reference to priming treatment was observed. On the basis of data recorded for the above parameters, hydropriming for 18 hr for cv. A-4, halopriming with 1% CaCl2 for 6 hr for cv. VRO-6 and SM priming with calcium aluminium silicate (1:0.4:1; Seed : SM : Water) for 48 hr for cv. Phule Utkarsha were found to be the most beneficial which could increase the fruit yield up to 20-104% in the three tested cultivars. The experiment underscored that to harness maximum benefit of seed priming for best field performance, cultivar-specific priming treatment should be adopted.

Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) are the key elements required for many of the biological process in plants and animals. Transporter proteins are essential for uptake, transport and accumulation for Fe and Zn in plants. The present investigation was undertaken to study and compare the structural and functional diversity and evolutionary significance of the yellow stripe-like (YSL) transporters through in-silico tools in five species (barley, Brachypodium, foxtail millet, maize and rice) of Poaceae. One hundred and two YSL transporters collected from public databases were used in the analysis. All YSL transporters possessed PF03169 domain which belongs to the oligo peptide transporters (OPT) super family. Molecular weight of YSL proteins ranged from 11.10 to 84.70 kDa while pI values ranged from 4.99 to 11.64. Scondary structure analysis identified that, alpha helix and random coils were the most common structures of the YSL proteins. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the YSL transporters are highly conserved in these five grass species. Comparative mapping of genes of YSL transporters showed maximum synteny between Brachypodium and barley (30%) followed by Brachypodium and rice (25%). Neutrality test has in fact revealed the positive or Darwinian selection on YSL transporters. The results of the present investigation provided a significant understanding of the structural and biological role of YSL transporters as well as the evolutionary pattern in Poaceae family.

Published: July 2023

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 48 cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] genotypes collected from different places in India were evaluated using simple sequence repeat molecular markers. A set of 40 primer combinations developed from cowpea genomic/expressed sequence tags and evaluated for their ability to detect polymorphisms among the various cowpea genotypes. Eleven primer combinations detected polymorphisms; sixteen primer combinations were monomorphic, with the remaining 13 primer sets failing to yield PCR amplification products. From one to 5 alleles were found among the informative primer combinations. The genetic diversity of the sample varied from 0.02 to 0.39 (mean = 0.205). The polymorphic information content ranged from 0.12 to 0.86 (mean = 0.49). The inter-cluster representatives of distant clusters (based on morphological and molecular markers) would be more useful for choosing the parents in cowpea breeding programmes.

Published: July 2023

A Szénások Európa Diplomás Terület mind tájtörténeti, mind természetvédelmi kezelés szempontjából különösen érdekes térség. A dolomitjelenségnek köszönhetően a változatos felszínformákon a növény és állatfajok hatalmas diverzitása fejlődött ki az idő folyamán. Azonban az emberi tájhasználat következében a táj arculata nagymértékben megváltozott, a természetes növénytakaró drasztikus változásokon ment keresztül. Az intenzív tájhasználat következtében lepusztult felszínek keletkeztek, amit később tájidegen feketefenyő (Pinus nigra) telepítésével igyekeztek ismét hasznosíthatóvá alakítani. Felismervén a terület kimagasló természetvédelmi értékét, elkezdődtek a védetté nyilvánítások és természetvédelmi beavatkozások az értékek megóvásának érdekében. Jelen tanulmány arra hivatott, hogy komplex módon összegezze a századok folyamán a táj változását és annak okait. Az irodalmi kutatás során a publikált adatok mellett igyekeztem levéltári forrásokból, illetve eddig nem közölt kéziratokból is információhoz jutni a területről. Az eredmények rávilágítanak a terület eltartóképességéhez igazodó tájhasználat fontosságára, valamint az erdészeti és természetvédelmi beavatkozások sikerességére.
Különböző érettségű és dózisú diólevél és vegyes gyümölcslomb komposzt hatása mustár (Sinapis alba) tesztnövény csírázására
Authors: Tirczka Imre , Hayes Matthew
Published: July 2023

A diólevél komposztálhatósága régóta vitatott téma. Kísérletünkben vizsgáltuk, hogy a diólevélből készült komposztnak, a komposztálás időtartamának és a felhasznált komposzt dózisának függvényében, van-e kimutatható kedvezőtlen hatása a mustár (Sinapis alba) tesztnövény fejlődésére. A vizsgált dió és vegyes lombkomposztokat egymással összehasonlítva, nem volt igazolható különbség egyik fajta komposztnak sem az előnyére, sem a hátrányára. A nem kellően komposztálódott lombnak azonban kimutatható kedvezőtlen hatása, mely elsősorban a növény növekedésében jelentkezett, és kevésbé a kelés mértékében. A növényi növekedést gátló hatás elsősorban a komposztálatlan lombnál és annak is magasabb dózisainál volt megfigyelhető. Ugyanakkor kedvezőtlen hatásként értékelhetjük, hogy négyhónapos komposztálás után sem tértek el a mért paraméterek szignifikánsan a kontrolltól, vagyis a növényi lombkomposzt jelenléte nem járt előnnyel azon kontrollal szemben, mely csak tápanyaghiányos kvarchomokból állt. Kilenc hónapos komposztálás után ugyanakkor sem a dió, sem a vegyes lombkomposztnak nem volt kedvezőtlen hatása a növényi tömegre, sőt az 1,6-3,8 szorosára növekedett a kontrollhoz képest az alkalmazott dózis függvényében. A diólevelet ne égessük le, nyugodtan komposztáljuk, és legalább 9 havi komposztálás után felhasználhatjuk.
A szelídgesztenye kultuszának áttekintése és Magyarország legnagyobb szelídgesztenyéinek bemutatása

Published: July 2023

Az európai és a hazai szelídgesztenye-kultusz áttekintését adjuk. Számos fajhoz (pl. hársak, füzek, tölgyek) hasonlóan a szelídgesztenyéhez is legendák, népszokások kapcsolódtak a történelem során. Vizsgálatainkban Magyarország legnagyobb törzskerülettel rendelkező szelídgesztenyéit mértük fel, amelyek döntő része hatalmas mérete ellenére, illetve kora folytán, pusztuláshoz közeli állapotban van. A dendrometriai mérések alapján hazánk legnagyobb Castanea sativa egyede a nagykutasi pincék között áll. A foltokban megmaradt, egykor nagy területet elfoglaló zengővárkonyi, illetve a védett velemi gesztenyések több óriást is rejtenek. A surdi pincesorok között is évszázados fákra bukkanhatunk. Vas megye legnagyobb szelídgesztenyéjét Torony község határában, magas cserjék közt meghúzódva találjuk. A boncodföldei fa és környéke nagy változáson ment át az évek alatt. Somogy megye legnagyobb „jóféle gesztenyéi” a több nemes fajtának otthont adó Iharosberényben vannak. Tanulmányunkban ezeken kívül zalaegerszegi, dióskáli, baki, csepregi és csipkereki fákat mértünk.

Tanulmányunkban szemléletes példákkal támasztjuk alá, hogy napjainkban a turizmus-ipar rendkívül gyors bővülése egyre több olyan sporttevékenységet is magába foglal, amelyek környezeti hatásainak kutatása egyre fontosabb kérdés. Ezzel összefüggésben a globális klímaváltozás különböző jelenségei éppen azokat a turisztikai ágazatokat érintik a legerőteljesebben, amelyeket tömegturizmusként tartunk számon. A legfontosabb tendenciák felvázolása mellett megállapítjuk, hogy a tömegturizmushoz sorolt ágazatok (tengerpart menti turizmus, síturizmus) mellett a jövőben számolnunk kell az alternatív turisztikai ágazatokat (pl. borturizmus, vízi turizmus, vadászturizmus) érintő klimatikus változásokkal is.

A Tájvédelmi és Tájrehabilitációs Tanszék 2002–2004-ben Hollókőn folytatott kutatásainak célja: a táj adottságainak és értékeinek állapotfelmérése, a tájkaraktert meghatározó környezeti adottságok fel- tárása és dokumentálása, a különlegesen szép tájszerkezet látványának elemzése, a környezeti problémák feltárása, valamint a tájvédelmi és környezetrendezési feladatok és kezelési övezetek koncepcionális meghatározása volt. A Világörökség részét képező, illetve azon kívüli, de azzal szoros tájszerkezeti kapcsolatban álló, bemutatható tájelemeket három csoportban vizsgáltuk: bemutatható természetközeli állapotú növénytársulások; bemutatható földtani, felszínalaktani és vízrajzi értékek; bemutatható kultúrtörténeti emlékek. A botanikai értékek közül egyrészt a ritkaságuk és tudományos jelentőségük miatt védendő, másrészt az elsősorban tájképi és tájszerkezeti szempontból lényeges, a tájkarakterre jellemző, bemutatható növénytársulásokat vizsgáltuk és értékeltük. A vizsgált földtani, felszínalaktani és vízrajzi értékek közül bemutatható tájelemek: az andezit-telér, az andezit kőfejtők, a homokbánya, a patakok és azok forrásai. A vizsgálatba bevont kultúrtörténeti emlékek csoportjai: vízhasznosítással kapcsolatos emlékek, mezőgazdasági tájhasznosítással kapcsolatos emlékek, építőanyag kitermeléssel kapcsolatos emlékek. A kutatás fontos részét képezte a hollókői tájban első ízben végzett látványelemzés, aminek során kijelöltük az elsődleges és a másodlagos látványhatárokat, valamint elemeztük a távlati látványt. A kutatások eredményeként koncepcionális javaslatot adtunk a Világörökség terület kezelési övezeteire.
Az agrometeorológiai mérő és előrejelző tevékenység módosulása napjaink megváltozott mezőgazdálkodási rendszere tükrében
Authors: Loksa Gábor

A mezőgazdaság tulajdon- és birtokszerkezete az elmúlt időszakban megváltozott. Az ezt kiszolgáló agrometeorológiai mérő és előrejelző tevékenység ezt még csak részben követte, szükségesnek látszik a problémakör áttekintése és a megváltozott helyzethez, igényekhez kapcsolható módosított mérő és előrejelző tevékenység létrehozása. A dolgozat ebben a témában szeretne gondolatébresztő, közös cselekvésre ösztönző lenni.
A Csicsói-holtág (Alsó-Csallóköz) kialakulása és fejlődése – a tájhasználat és a vizes élőhelyek változásai
Authors: Szabó Mária , Timár Gábor , Győri Hilda
Published: July 2023

A jelen munkában a holtágak a tájszerkezeti és természetvédelmi jelentőségét mutatjuk be a Csallóköz délkeleti részén fekvő Csicsói-holtág példáján. A vizsgált holtág hidrológiai értelemben igen fiatal. A Habsburg Monarchia első és második katonai felméréseinek adataiból megállapítható, hogy a mai holtág helyén volt mellékág kialakulása 1786 és 1822 között történt. A korabeli mellékág a 19. század végén gyakorlatilag lefűződött, és a korai vízszabályozási munkák során a Duna hullámterén maradt. Ebben a fázisban rendszeresen, évente többször kapott vízutánpótlást. A második világháborút követő további gátépítések során a holtág nagy része a mentett oldalra került, a folyó felől történő rendszeres vízutánpótlása megszűnt. A holtágat mint nemzetközileg kiemelt jelentőségű vizes élőhelyet, védett területet 1993-ban „Ramsari területté” nyilvánították. Vizsgálataink során felmértük a holtág és környéke állat- és növényfajait, melyek túlnyomó többsége védett, veszélyeztetett, illetve európai jelentőségű. Kiemelendő a lápi póc (Umbra kramer) előfordulása. A vizes élőhelyeken végzett vizsgálataink és irodalmi adatok alapján megbecsültük az egyes élőhely-típusok degradációs és regenerációs idejét az élőhely szárazodása és nedvesebbé/vizesebbé válása esetén. Ennek legfontosabb üzenete az, hogy a degradáció időben mindig gyorsabb folyamat, mint a regeneráció. Megbecsültük az élőhelyek és társulásaik fennmaradását tartósan biztosító ökológiai vízigényt: a vízborítottság és a talajvízszint megkívánt mértékét. Emellett elkészítettük a vizsgált terület vegetációval jellemzett élőhely-térképét.
Az éghajlatváltozás hatása a relatív édesvízhiányra és az ebből adódó konfliktus kialakulására Magyarországon
Authors: Szalkay Csilla , Schlanger Vera
Published: July 2023

Napjainkban a világ számos országában, mivel nincs kielégítő mennyiségű édesvíz, relatív édesvízhiány alakul ki. A relatív édesvízhiány bizonyos területeken akkora mértékű, hogy az gyakran országon belüli vagy nemzetközi konfliktust eredményez. Ezek a konfliktusok magáért az édesvízért, mint természeti erőforrásért folynak gazdasági, politikai, illetve társadalmi színtéren. A relatív édesvízhiány, és így a konfliktusok létrejöttének okai nem választhatók el élesen egymástól, mivel azokat komplex faktorok, folyamatok befolyásolják. A relatív édesvízhiány kialakító összetevők között kiemelkedő szerepet játszanak a földrajzi, a demográfiai, a társadalmi, a gazdasági okok, valamint az éghajlatváltozás. Ezen faktorok közül Magyarországon az éghajlati tényezők szélsőséges változása (pl. aszály gyakoribbá és intenzívebbé válása) miatt alakult ki relatív édesvízhiány, konfliktus azonban mindezidáig nem robbant ki. A klímaváltozás valószínűleg az elkövetkező években növelni fogja a relatív édesvízhiány kialakulásának valószínűségét, amely konfliktusforrás lehet.
