Organic Mulch and Grass Competition Influence Tree Root Development
Authors: Watson Gary
Published: July 2022

Root density, soil moisture content and soil oxygen diffusion rate (ODR) were measured under three soil surface treatments—grass, organic mulch and bare soil. Seven tree species were tested, green ash, little-leaf linden, pin oak, red oak, sugar maple, red maple and Norway maple. All trees were approximately 20 years old. Elimination of the grass resulted in consistent increases in tree root density at the 0 - 7.5 cm depth, except for the oaks. Application of mulch increased root densities in the soil beneath it. The layer of decomposing organic mulch also provided additional medium for root growth. When compared to the grass treatment, total root surface area was increased up to 195 percent by the mulch treatment and up to 113 percent by the bare soil treatment. Soil moisture was significantly higher in the mulch and the soil beneath it and lowest in the grass treatment. ODR was unaffected by the treatments.

Published: July 2022

Nomophobia is a disorder of the modern, technologically advanced and digital world. It is becoming more common nowadays with increased development of mobile devices In this paper, we can see that more than 60% of the surveyed students admitted that they are addicted to mobile phones, without even being aware of nomophobia itself. The impact of nomophobia is manifold, from the physical and psycho-emotional burden borne by the patient himself to the collective burden, whose influence changes the form of social interactions. The paper will say moreabout nomophobia itself, the advantages and disadvantages of using the technology itself, the impact on children and society, and the analysis of survey results from students.

Published: July 2022

The climate changes, rising world tensions, soaring energy prices and fossil fuel dependencies require an affordable green power solution to be found and applied. The PV systems seem to be such solution, but there are still many obstacles standing on their way, especially in Bulgaria. An analysis concerning the cost-effectiveness of PV systems is done. The results are that they are cost-effective for companies, but not so much for private users yet. There are already breakthroughs in battery technology that are expected to open wide the doors for many types of renewable energy systems. The Bulgarian regulation process is one of the main obstacles standing on the way of PV systems.

Published: July 2022

El análisis de la distribución espacial de los abrigos con arte rupestre y su relación con la creación de paisajes sociales por parte de sociedades prehistóricas se ha planteado desde diferentes perspectivas desde los años ochenta del siglo XX. Estas aproximaciones se han centrado en averiguar de qué modo estos conjuntos artísticos ofrecen claves sobre cómo se vertebraron los paisajes. Desde hace dos décadas, estas aproximaciones se han realizado a través de herramientas derivadas de los Sistemas de Información geográfica (SIG), particularmente para analizar y modelizar los patrones de visibilidad. Sin embargo, las diferentes modelizaciones han llevado a resultados, en ocasiones, contradictorios. Como medio para ahondar en estas y otras cuestiones, en este trabajo nos centraremos en el arte rupestre macroesquemático (ARM) a través de diferentes escalas de análisis. La primera analiza, desde un punto de vista iconográfico, los diferentes motivos. La segunda escala presta atención a la distribución espacial de estos motivos, así como su concentración en determinados sitios. Por último, la tercera escala modeliza la percepción visual y sonora a través del empleo de diferentes herramientas SIG. En este punto se realiza una evaluación crítica, tanto de las bases cartográficas como de los procedimientos empleados en la modelización de los paisajes visuales y sonoros. La concatenación de estas unidades de análisis permite aproximarnos a la articulación social del paisaje neolítico a partir de un fenómeno artístico tan concreto y particular como es el ARM.

Genes de resistência a Brusone para a espécie Triticum aestivum e os marcadores moleculares relacionados
Authors: Burin Marceli Raquel , Vianna Gabriela
Published: July 2022

Introdução: A espécie Triticum aestivum, conhecida popularmente como Trigo, é resultado de uma hibridização natural, englobando nela três genomas diferentes, o que lhe confere uma plasticidade genômica maior do que outras espécies de grãos com somente um genoma. Porém, mesmo assim, a cultura sofre muito com certos patógenos, como é o caso do fungo Magnaporthe oryzae que causa no trigo uma doença conhecida como Brusone. Atualmente, os programas de melhoramento não possuem variedades com boa resistência ao patógeno, bem como não há uma grande base de dados de genes relacionados a essa resistência. Objetivo: Por este motivo, a seguinte pesquisa visou compilar tais genes e suas sequências flanqueadoras, a fim de aumentar o banco de dados e disseminar tais informações para que a comunidade científica possa incrementar novos genes em suas pesquisas, bem como visualizar através da revisão, a necessidade da delimitação de novos genes relacionados à resistência a brusone. Material e Métodos: A pesquisa se deu por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica no banco de dados Google acadêmico e Pubmed. Resultados: Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que poucos são os genes relacionados à resistência a brusone conhecidos atualmente, sendo os citados: Rmg1, Rmg2, Rmg3, Rmg4, Rmg5, Rmg6, Rmg7, Rmg8, RmgGR119, RmgTd(t), algumas QTLs, além da translocação cromossômica 2NS. Os marcadores flanqueadores dos genes citados encontrados na seguinte revisão foram os: AX94469326 e o Barc212 além do AX94396056 - wms296(3) e AX95202120 AX94396056. Conclusão: Diante da falta de dados referentes ao assunto e da saturação dos genes conhecidos, a presente pesquisa destaca a necessidade de ampliar a base de dados de genes e marcadores moleculares relacionados, a fim de tornar o melhoramento genético mais eficiente, incorporando genes mais resistentes que ainda possam ser desconhecidos para a comunidade científica.
Arbitragem tributária: a experiência portuguesa e as propostas legislativas brasileiras
Authors: Poroca Victor Lúcio Calvacanti , Nobre Júnior Edilson Pereira
Published: July 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar os fundamentos que levaram Portugal a instituir o regime de arbitragem tributária e verificar a aplicabilidade desses motivos à realidade institucional brasileira, bem como comparar os principais dispositivos do Decreto-Lei n. 10/2011 de Portugal com os projetos de lei que atualmente tramitam no Senado Federal brasileiro. O método científico utilizado será o hipotético-dedutivo e a técnica de pesquisa adotada teve dupla abordagem: bibliográfica e empírica. Inicialmente, foram estudados os conceitos de arbitragem, indisponibilidade do interesse público e relação jurídica tributária; bem como as características do procedimento arbitral em Brasil e Portugal. Por fim, a pesquisa empírica compreendeu a coleta de dados para verificar as legislações portuguesa e brasileira vigentes acerca da arbitragem e dos meios alternativos de resolução de conflitos, bem como os projetos de lei relativos à arbitragem tributária em trâmite no Senado Federal. Desse modo, conclui-se que é necessária a superação da noção clássica e restritiva da indisponibilidade do interesse público e a criação de uma lei ordinária de arbitragem tributária mais abrangente do que as que atualmente estão em tramitação no Congresso Nacional para garantir a efetivação dos princípios da eficiência e da razoável duração dos processos.

Authors: Hichem Nasri , Hadjer Zaidi , Fateh Sedrati , Feriel Leghrib , Wang Zhi
Published: July 2022

Zirconia is upon nanoparticles widely used in various fields due to its adequate properties, making it an inherent element in nanotechnology. The enhanced expansion of their usage is not harmonized at the same level with toxicological investigations, and little interest has been given to their potential toxicity. Some studies considered using zirconia nanoparticles as a biomedical material as safe, while others considered them unsafe and harmful for living organisms; indeed, toxicity mechanisms involving reactive oxygen species production were reported. Such ambiguous points refer to the critical need for more related studies. The contradictions in the published works require a detailed review to understand the toxicity aspects and mechanisms of Zro2 NPs, including their implications associated with human and environmental exposure. This review aims to summarize mainly all published studies on Zirconia and its potentials harmful effects on living organisms; and likewise contributes to the accession of knowledge and a better understanding of the subject.
Función liberadora de la filosofía
Authors: Ellacuría Ignacio
Published: July 2022

La filosofía desde siempre, aunque de diversas formas, ha tenido que ver con la libertad porque la relación filosofía-libertad toca a fondo el propósito fundamental del saber filosófico, el cual, aunque puede definirse como una búsqueda de la verdad, difícilmente podría quedar reducido a una búsqueda de la verdad por la verdad. Por eso, por razones más prácticas que especulativas, este artículo tiene como punto de partida dos constataciones fundamentales para un quehacer filosófico realmente latinoamericano.

La primera constatación que hace el autor es que en América Latina predominan unas condiciones de opresión y de represión a las que han contribuido, directa o indirectamente, sino filosofías estrictamente tales, al menos formulaciones ideológicas de esas filosofías y las realidades socioeconómicas y políticas que son su suelo nutrición e interés principal. 

La segunda constatación importante es que América Latina no ha producido una filosofía propia en cuanto originada desde su propia realidad histórica y que desempeñe, al mismo tiempo, una función liberadora respecto a aquella realidad. En consecuencia, en las siguientes páginas se precisa qué función liberadora le corresponde a la filosofía aquí y ahora para, sin dejar de ser filosofía, antes bien reconstituyéndose como tal, ser realmente filosofía para liberar a la totalidad de la cultura y de las estructuras sociales, dentro de las cuales las personas tienen que autorrealizarse libremente.

Customer perceptions of service quality at a Durban based spirit merchant
Authors:   , Moodley Logidesan
Published: July 2022

The South Africa alcohol industry is one of the most challenging and competitive sectors of the FMCG. With the strong presence of international brands, the local spirits environment is seemingly becoming tough and uncertain, due to products and prices reaching parity. Organisations within this monopolized industry are faced with intense competition and are seeking ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. One of the differentiating factors being considered by the organisation under study is improving its service delivery. The aim of this study is to evaluate customer expectations and perceptions of service quality at Edward Snell & Co Ltd. within the greater Durban area. This report has reviewed current literature and opinions about customer service, and has also reviewed factors such as customer service, service characteristics and its measurement. The report also covers data analysis, data collection, and questionnaire design in the research methodology chapter. The analysis of the results reveals important gap findings amongst the tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy dimensions of service quality. Finally, in order to improve the levels of customer service at Edward Snell & Co Ltd., recommendations such as regular service quality measurements, education of the organisation’s workforce and other general recommendations are included in the study.
Communication challenges faced by employers in the implementation of the Black Economic Empowerment policy in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Juggernath Swastika
Published: July 2022

This study presents the research of an investigation into communication challenges that affected the implementation of Black Economic Empowerment and the communication strategies/policies used to inform and communicate with employees in businesses. To achieve this aim questionnaires were administered to seven BEE compliant organizations in KwaZulu-Natal. Mersham’s communication model for development provides a basis for evaluation of the BEE communication challenges. This study reviewed theories and literature relevant to the implementation of Black Economic Empowerment and Communication Strategies. The perceptions gained from the literature review were used to interpret the results which were obtained through a qualitative paradigm. The findings revealed that communication is a pivotal pillar in any organization and both employers and employees need to maintain the strength that binds these pillars and brings the organization together. South Africa has faced many challenges since the apartheid era. The BEE policy therefore, aims to iron out unfair practices in businesses, which is why communication is extremely important to this process.
Improving quality and productivity through lean manufacturing at an automotive manufacturing organisation in Durban
Authors:   , Rathilall Raveen
Published: July 2022

The manufacturing sector, considered to be an important industry in any country, is often plagued with a significant degree of competition due to global marketing. In order to cope with this challenge, organisations attempt to improve their manufacturing operations by using different tools and techniques to reduce costs while remaining profitable. This study investigated the existing lean production system of an automotive manufacturing organisation in Durban. The objective of the study was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current lean manufacturing process in an attempt to improve quality and productivity. An empirical study was conducted, using a survey questionnaire with an assessment score ranking to gather and evaluate employees’ responses pertaining to lean application in the production environment. The quantitative method of research was adopted. The results of the study showed evidence of misalignment and inconsistencies for lean adoption in the organisation. There were significant relationships established between departments and job positions. The analysis demonstrated that operators within production showed the highest sentiment of disagreement for certain lean principles. The validity of the operators’ responses was significant as operators are the frontline of all processes and were in the best position to rank the extent of lean adoption. Several important findings on the implications of lean activities that affect manufacturing performance were revealed. The study concluded that a significant gap exists between the actual adoption of lean principles on the shop floor to those that are documented. It is recommended that organisations develop structured follow up procedures in order to have more control of the production system and thus ensure sustainability. Future research should focus at incorporating better and more efficient lean assessment tools to identify gaps in the production system and to replicate this study to track other South African organisations that claim to manufacture lean.
The effectiveness of computer-aided teaching on the quality of learning data handling in mathematics in grade seven
Authors:   , Achary Sarasvathie
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of computer-aided teaching on the quality of learning data handling in mathematics in grade seven. The rationale for this study was based on the information that, preceding the introduction of curriculum 2005 in South African schools, statistics education received little or no formal importance. At tertiary institutions in South Africa and in many other countries, very few learners choose to major in statistics. Coupled with this was that the effective integration of technology into the teaching and learning of mathematics remains one of the crucial challenges facing mathematics, which has been slow to respond to technological innovation. A review of the literature provided the basis for the study of grade seven learners to determine the use of technology in data handling, their views on the use of computers in mathematics and the effect of computers on the achievement of the set mathematics goals. Responses to the questionnaire, interview and the test scores as well as factors identified in the literature, are used to catalogue the effectiveness of integrating technology in mathematics. The study identified three defining characteristics, each with a number of associated elements. The first being that learners who engaged in technology activities in mathematics have shown a greater conceptual understanding of mathematics as indicated in the pre-test and post-test scores. The second was that technology intensive instruction through the use of the Excel tool helped learners to gain a better understanding of data handling concepts. Thirdly, research result of this study showed that integrating technology into mathematics instruction can be a positive influence on mathematics learning as evident in the interview as well as the test scores. The study concludes that effective integration of technology in mathematics requires recognition and comprehensive attention. This will provide effective quality learning in mathematics education.
Critical success factors influencing project success in the Durban construction industry
Authors:   , Msani Thulani Armstrong
Published: July 2022

This study presents an assessment of the perceptions of project managers and contractors regarding the critical success factors influencing project success in the Durban construction industry. To achieve this aim, questionnaires were administered to 95 project managers and 61 active grade four contractors in Durban. The critical success factors are encapsulated in components, that is, comfort, competence, communication and commitment (COMs). These components make up the four COMs model which forms a basis for evaluation of the questionnaires. An in-depth analysis review of the literature on the critical success factors in the construction industry has affirmed the four COMs model. The interpretation of this quantitative study was conducted with the use of descriptive and inferential statistics presented in a tabular format. The findings revealed that both project managers and contractors strongly support the critical success factors as significant in achieving project success. There was no significant difference in their perception of critical success factors, given the biographic differences between them. Achieving project success has eluded the Durban construction industry to a point where it is battling to keep existing clients. The critical success factors identified in this study have provided a way forward for project managers and contractors. Hence, the results presented in this study can be used as a guideline for successful execution of construction projects in Durban. The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) can play a pivotal role by providing an enabling environment which will facilitate the adoption of the results of this study. For example, the CIDB can amend its legislation on contracts by making them simple to comprehend. In this way the number of lawsuits between project managers and contractors would be drastically reduced.

Guanfacine for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or Oppositional Defiance Disorder
Authors: Jahagirdar Deepa , Mahood Quenby
Published: July 2022

This review identified 4 relevant systematic reviews, 2 randomized controlled trials and 1 guideline since 2017.

The systematic reviews and trials suggest that guanfacine is more clinically effective than placebo for improving symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactive disorder, however it may be associated with increased adverse events such as abdominal pain and fatigue.

There is some suggestion from 2 systematic reviews that guanfacine may be equally effective as other psychostimulants or non-psychostimulants, with the potential for more greater side effects, but the evidence is highly uncertain.

The included guideline has a strong recommendation to offer guanfacine for use in children and adolescents when psychostimulants have failed, or they are not tolerable.

No evidence was identified on the cost-effectiveness of guanfacine relative to psychostimulants, non-psychostimulants or placebo that met the inclusion criteria.
La intertextualidad en la didáctica de las ciencias duras
Authors: Velázquez Ávila Kenia María , Santiesteban Naranjo Ernan , Mir Sanabria Bárbara
Published: July 2022

Existen diversas clasificaciones para atomizar las ciencias, según sus objetos de estudios. Quizás la clasificación más general es la que deslinda las ciencias blandas de las ciencias duras. Las primeras estudian los fenómenos sociales, mientras que las segundas estudian fenómenos físicos y naturales. Existen muchísimos elementos que las distinguen, tan es así que a veces parece imposible lograr una conexión científica entre ellas; sin embargo, existe un punto donde convergen, y es en la finalidad.

Todas las ciencias tienen la finalidad de mejorar la calidad de vida de los seres humanos. No obstante, esta verdad irrefutable parece ser olvidada por muchos, y esta dicotomía se hace más latente cuando de enseñar las ciencias se trata. En la práctica pedagógica se ha generalizado la infeliz idea de que mejor profesor es, quien más conocimiento tenga sobre la ciencia que sustenta su asignatura. Y es este el primer error que cometemos, pues ciencia y asignatura no son lo mismo.

Published: July 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge for the hotel industry in Indonesia. The occupancy rate fell to 15.6% and 27,607 hotel companies closed their operations in 2020. The hotel industry has a major role in sustaining the economy and employment in some regions. The disruption to hotel industry activities will disrupt the economy in the region. To support the recovery process, the government and stakeholders need to develop policies and strategic measures for the hotel industry. This study aims to provide an update on the situation and development of the hospitality industry recovery program using qualitative analysis methods through literature studies, group discussions, and interviews with business actors. The results found that the crisis management approach is suitable for the formulation of recovery policies. However, the existing crisis management approach needs to be adapted to the unpredictable Covid-19 pandemic situation. On the other hand, the hotel industry needs support for expanding market access, increasing attractiveness, human resource capacity, MICE events and activities, supporting digitalization infrastructure, loosening and simplifying regulations to accelerate the recovery. The implication emphasizes on the need to review the regulations on the tourism crisis management to focus on recovery measures for the industry.

We interact closely with different user communities to understand their needs, help them understand our capabilities, and develop tailored products and services. All georeferenced data from our observations and models is available as Open Data. Through our WarnWetter App we provide the general public and civil protection personnel with warnings and information on the current weather situation. Together with our partners we provide user-oriented climate information relating to sectors such as health, agriculture, tourism or water resources management through the German Climate Portal. Currently we are working with different national and regional institutions to develop a natural hazards portal.

For effective service delivery we must bridge the gap between different communities. We connect the operational and academic communities through the Hans Ertel Centre, our extramural research programme, and engagement in major national and international research programmes. We connect governmental research with stakeholders through the expert network of our ministry and through co-design with stakeholders such as the regional flood forecasting authorities and renewable energy providers. We connect with our international partners to advance seamless earth system prediction worldwide. Key aspects to connecting communities are to support, nurture and promote a transdisciplinary workforce, to build sustainable and long-term transdisciplinary cooperations in natural, social and behavioural science with the academic community, to make operational tools, data and infrastructure available for external partners, and to help potential users find, understand and use our data and services.
The use of alfaxalone for short-term anesthesia can confound serum progesterone measurements in the common marmoset: a case report

Abstract. Alfaxan® (alfaxalone) is a steroid general anesthetic widely used in veterinary medicine for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in several species. While the use of alfaxalone in veterinary practice has several benefits compared to the use of other anesthetic agents, the fact that it is derived from progesterone may confound the measurement of the latter in the blood of animals under alfaxalone treatment. In the present case study, we report the measurement of serum progesterone in an individual common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) during five ovarian cycles in which luteolysis was induced by PGF2α. Blood samples were usually taken from the awake animal with the exception of the fifth cycle in which the sample was collected under alfaxalone anesthesia in connection with a tooth extraction. In contrast to the previous four cycles in which luteolysis resulted in the expected marked decrease in progesterone concentrations, the – apparent – progesterone level in the cycle under alfaxalone treatment remained unexpectedly high. Cross-reactivity of the non-specific antibody used in the progesterone assay with alfaxalone most likely explains this finding.
