Pandangan KH Abdurrahman Wahid Tentang Islam dan Negara Pancasila
Authors: Rochmat Saefur
Published: September 2022

KH Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) berusaha menempatkan Islam dalam konteks modern di Indonesia dalam wajah politik yang tidak monolitik, yang tidak menghadapkan strategi perjuangan umat dengan strategi pembangunan nasional. Artikel ini berusaha meneliti pemikirannya tentang hubungan Islam dengan Negara Pancasila. Peneriman Nahdatul Ulama (NU) terhadap asas tunggal Pancasila pada tahun 1984 dibawah kepemimpinan duet KH Ahmad Siddiq dan KH Abdurrahman Wahid merupakan kelanjutan historis dalam sejarah NU. Pada tahun 1936 NU menjustifikasi Hindia Belanda sebagai dar al-Islam (negeri muslim) karena adanya Lembaga Kepenghuluan (Het Kantoor voor Inlandsche zaken), suatu lembaga yang secara khusus mengurus kepentingan umat Islam, dan umat Islam memiliki kebebasan untuk menjalankan ajaran agamanya sebagai condition sine qua non bagi esksistensi negara. Islam melihat negara sangat penting untuk menghindari terjadinya anarkhi, tetapi Islam tidak mempunyai konsep kenegaraan. Karena itu umat Islam tidak bersikeras mendirikan negara Islam. Ada tiga alasan penerimaan umat Islam pada Negara Pancasila, yaitu alasan pluralitas bangsa Indonesia, justifikasi fiqih NU, dan tradisi keilmuan NU.

Uma poesia de exportação: Pau-Brasil na Itália
Authors: Boni Guia M.
Published: September 2022

O poeta italiano Giuseppe Ungaretti viveu, entre 1937 e 1942, em São Paulo, dando aulas de Literatura Italiana na recém-criada Universidade de São Paulo. Não conseguindo escrever versos próprios dedicou-se furiosamente à tradução. De volta a Itália, começou a publicar as traduções por ele realizadas de poetas brasileiros, fossem eles pertencentes à tradição ou aos seus contemporâneos. Entre estes, traduziu e publicou Pau-Brasil, de Oswald de Andrade. Neste artigo, tentamos compreender quais foram as afinidades eletivas que uniram os dois poetas, aparentemente tão distantes, e descrever a atitude adotada por Ungaretti para enfrentar a tradução.
Será que esse teste poderia ser um ensaio? A repetição e a fuga em “O poema no tubo de ensaio”, de Marília Garcia
Authors: Bittencourt Rita Lenira de Freitas , Mayer Bianca Raupp
Published: September 2022

Este ensaio pretende analisar o texto “O poema no tubo de ensaio”(2016), de Marília Garcia, a partir dos conceitos de repetição e fuga propostos por Gilles Deleuze em Diferença e repetição (1968), a fim de responder a pergunta em verso: “Será que esse teste poderia ser um ensaio?” (GARCIA, 2016, p. 79). Considera-se que o poema-ensaio, ao definir-se como um teste de si mesmo, de seu(a) leitor(a) e de sua própria autora, além de repetidamente testar a condição de ser ou poema ou ensaio, foge à unívoca categorização de gênero e traz na própria configuração esta resposta.

Improved Neural Adaptive Control for Nonlinear Oscillatory Dynamic of Flapping Wings
Authors: Mousavi Seid M. S. , Pourtakdoust Seid H.
Published: September 2022

Modeling uncertainties and oscillatory dynamics are control challenges for flapping vehicles. Flapping-wing aerial vehicles are nonlinear time-varying oscillatory systems with flexible multibody dynamics. As such, accurate modeling of these complex systems considering unsteady aerodynamics is a formidable task. Though adaptive controllers can work well with uncertain approximate models, inherent oscillation of flapping systems can degrade their control performance and create undesired control actuations. This paper addresses improvements of neural adaptive dynamic inversion controller toward efficient performance for flapping flight via effective utility of actuator capacity. In this respect, first an assumptive model of a bird-mimetic flapping-wing is considered for simulation and analysis. It is shown that the usage of oscillatory feedback data produces additional error in trajectory tracking and unnecessary oscillatory control actuations. Subsequently, the control loop is modified by adding an adaptive notch filter for real-time estimation, tracking, and removal of dominant oscillatory modes from the feedback data and consequently from the controller output. As a result, the required control effort is effectively reduced and the controller performance is significantly improved. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme in presence of noise, variation of system frequency, disturbances, as well as delay in the control loop.

Published: September 2022

This study focuses on the effect of a weak jet of a porous plate on the aerodynamic heating of high-speed vehicles. By using a variable nozzle to form different weak air jets through a uniformly distributed porous plate in a shock tunnel, the heat flux distribution on the surface of the porous plate near the ejection area under different Mach numbers, attack angles, and jet velocities is studied. The main results show that the uniformly distributed pore structure increases the wall roughness and promotes transition during heating, the jet velocity has a remarkable impact on the heat transfer characteristics of the plate, and the heat flux on the plate as well as the cooling effect increase with the attack angle.

Published: September 2022

O presente artigo apresenta parte dos resultados obtidos numa pesquisa sobre atitudes de estudantes brasileiros de espanhol como língua estrangeira (ELE) em relação às variedades diatópicas da língua meta. Para tal, foi analisado um corpus formado pelas respostas de 148 informantes adultos, estudantes do Instituto Cervantes de Curitiba (ICC), Brasil, dos seis níveis de domínio do ELE segundo o Marco Comum Europeu de Referência (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 e C2), a um inquérito sobre variedades diatópicas do espanhol que incluia perguntas abertas sobre fatores de status e atrativo social e uma escala de diferencial semântico sobre o atrativo social da variedade falada nas capitais dos países hispanofalantes que compartilham fronteira com Brasil, mais Santiago de Chile e Madri. Os dados obtidos nessa escala apontaram para atitudes muito positivas face à variedade castelhana em praticamente todos os grupos de estudantes. Analisando os dados por níveis de domínio do ELE dos informantes, em todos eles a variedade castelhana obteve as valorações mais altas em atrativo social. No lado oposto, observaram-se atitudes negativas com relação ao espanhol da capital de país hispanofalante geograficamente mais próxima, Assunção. Provavelmente, fatores históricos e socioculturais subjacentes, que exigem maior observação por parte de pesquisadores, instituições e professores de ELE, incidem em tais avaliações.
A relação entre fluência e compreensão de leitura
Authors: Oliveira João Batista Araujo e , Alves Isabella Starling
Published: September 2022

Estudos recentes têm apontado a fluência de leitura como um importante preditor da compreensão de leitura. Contudo, poucos estudos investigaram a associação entre estas variáveis no português-brasileiro. No presente estudo, abordamos essa lacuna da literatura. Alunos do 2º ao 4º ano completaram um teste de fluência de leitura e um teste de compreensão de leitura. Os resultados demonstraram que há progresso nas habilidades de fluência e compreensão de leitura entre o 2º e o 4º ano, com progresso mais acentuado entre o 2º e o 3º ano. Além disso, os resultados mostraram que a associação entre fluência e compreensão de leitura foi significativa e positiva em todos os anos escolares, com magnitude acima de r = 0,6. Em conclusão, alunos com melhor fluência de leitura também apresentaram melhor compreensão de leitura, o que foi consistente nos diferentes anos escolares. Esses resultados corroboram resultados observados anteriormente em outros estudos nacionais e internacionais. É importante notar que os resultados do presente estudo contribuem com a prática ao sugerir que a promoção da fluência de leitura na sala de aula pode levar ao desenvolvimento de melhor compreensão de leitura.
OS SAMARITANOS: UMA ANÁLISE BÍBLICO-HISTÓRICA
Authors: São José Gonçalves Oliveira Rui , Rodrigues Lima Daltton
Published: September 2022

Nas Escrituras, em especial no Novo Testamento, os samaritanos são descritos como tendo uma hostilidade com o povo judeu, sendo que tal hostilidade é vista de ambos os lados. Nos mesmos documentos é relatado ainda relações aparentemente contrárias entre eles e os primeiros cristãos, bem como de Jesus Cristo com esse povo, ou seja, de aceitação dos Cristãos em relação a eles. Sendo assim este trabalho busca compreender a identidade dos samaritanos, origem, costumes e cultura, crenças e religião. Também é de interesse dessa pesquisa analisar a relação entre judeus e samaritanos, bem como entre cristãos e esse mesmo povo. Determinar os fatores históricos, religiosos e sociais que levaram a essas relações conforme descritas na Bíblia. Analisar como essa compreensão auxilia a interpretação dos textos bíblicos pelos quais os samaritanos são descritos e, por fim, buscar extrair lições práticas dos resultados obtidos para a missão cristã hoje.
Commercial organisations head’s innovative competencies model
Authors: Blokhina M. S.
Published: September 2022

Digitalisation and the innovative economy have generated many social processes and transformations, and set many tasks. These changes were especially clearly reflected in the professional activities of the commercial sector heads. Today, they can no longer perform their duties effectively, having only general cultural and professional competencies in their portfolio. The formation of different, new type competencies is required. However, we are not talking about disparate, separate skills and abilities, the sporadic description of which is found in professional standards or requirements for vacancies in the positions of top managers. There is a need for the formation and development of competencies among the heads of commercial organisations responsible for the birth of innovations and involvement in the processes of the innovative economy. Sociological researchers are faced with the tasks of defining this concept, detailed description of innovative competences, their distinctive features from competences of other types, systematization and grouping. The article presents the author’s model of innovative competencies obtained as a result of sociological research “The role of innovative competencies in professional activity of managers of commercial organisations”. The model can serve as a basis for further research in this field and development of this direction of sociology.
Enhancing Photovoltage of Silicon Photoanodes by a High Work-function Coordination Polymer
Authors: Aroonratsameruang Ponart , Klahan Kanokwan , Loget Gabriel , Pattanasattayavong Pichaya
Published: September 2022

A metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure based on an inhomogeneous junction has been recently proven to be highly efficient at photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Engineering the surrounding layer of the MIS nanojunction is crucial to maximize the photovoltage. Specifically, for an n-type photoanode, a high work-function material is desired to create a large Schottky barrier that assists the hole transfer to oxidize water while blocking the electron transfer. We demonstrate the use of copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN), a transparent p-type coordination polymer semiconductor with a high work function, to surround the n-Si/SiOx/Cu nanojunctions, resulting in an increased effective barrier height from 0.71 to 1.03 eV. This phenomenon, known as the pinch-off effect, is also applied to improve the performance of the planar n-Si/SiOx/Cu electrode via a PEC dissolution method that creates an inhomogeneous surface covered with CuOx. The Cu/CuSCN nanojunction still shows superior performance due to the favorable energetics of CuSCN.

Size-modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck approach for modeling a local electrode environment in CO2 electrolysis
Authors: Butt Esaar Naeem , Padding Johan , Hartkamp Remco
Published: September 2022

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 heavily depends on the reaction conditions found near the electrode surface. These local conditions are affected by phenomena such as electric double layer formation and steric effects of the solution species, which in turn impact the passage of CO2 molecules to the catalytic surface. Most models for CO2 reduction ignore these effects, leading to an incomplete understanding of the local electrode environment. In this work, we present an modeling approach consisting of a set of size-modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations and the Frumkin interpretation of Tafel kinetics. We introduce a modification to the steric effects inside the transport equations which results in more realistic concentration profiles. We also show how the modification lends the model numerical stability without adopting any separate stabilization technique. The model can replicate experimental current densities and Faradaic efficiencies till -1.5 vs SHE/V of applied electrode potential. We also show the utility of this approach for systems operating at elevated CO2 pressures. Using Frumkin-corrected kinetics gels well with the theoretical understanding of the double layer. Hence, this work provides a sound mechanistic understanding of the CO2 reduction process, from which new insights on key performance controlling parameters can be obtained.
Transition Energy, Orientation Force and Work Done in Transitional Behavior Atoms: Formulating New Principles in Thermodynamics
Authors: Ali Mubarak
Published: September 2022

Studying basic parameters of heat and thermodynamics may explore new principles in science. Gaseous and solid atoms under transitional behaviors can explore remarkable advances in chemical and physical sciences. An anomaly in the first law of thermodynamics can be recognized explicitly when the transitional behaviors of atoms are in the study. By gaining transition energy, gaseous atoms undertake a transition state. Hence, the work performs by the gaseous atoms. Symbolically, a plus sign requires for it. But the transitions in solid atoms occur because of the absorbing transition energy. So, the work performance is in the minus sign. A different force exerts on the electron of a gaseous atom and a solid atom, where transition energy changes the potential energy of the electron, thus controlling the orientation force. An anomaly resolves by changing the equations of internal energy. Gaseous and solid atoms introduce cooling and heat effects in elastically driven electronic states till the mid-states. A mid-state of a transition state falls between re-crystallization and liquid states. In generating cooling or heating energy, an electron executes dynamics by remaining within the occupied energy knot. Thus, constantly driven electronic states of atoms cause disorder and irreversible cycles.
New Salt Hydrates for Thermal Energy Storage
Authors: Kiyabu Steven , Girard Patrick , Siegel Donald
Published: September 2022

Thermal energy storage (TES) has the potential to improve the efficiency of many applications, but has not been widely deployed. The viability of a TES system depends upon the performance of its underlying storage material; improving the energy density of TES materials is an important step in accelerating the adoption of TES systems. Salt hydrates are a promising class of TES materials due to their relatively high energy densities and their reversibility. Despite their promise, relatively few salt hydrates have been characterized, presenting the possibility that new hydrate compositions with superior properties may exist. Here, the energy densities, turning temperatures, and thermodynamic stabilities of 5292 hypothetical salt hydrates are predicted using high-throughput density functional theory calculations. The hydrates of several metal-fluorides, including CaF2, VF2, and CoF3, are identified as new, stable TES materials with class-leading energy densities and operating temperatures suitable for use in domestic heating and intermediate-temperature applications. The promising performance of these materials is demonstrated at the system level by parameterizing an operating model of a solar thermal TES system with data from the new hydrates. Finally, machine learning models for salt hydrate thermodynamics are developed and used to identify design guidelines for maximizing energy density. In total, the new materials and design rules reported here are expected to foster the adoption of TES systems.

Published: September 2022

Background. In developed countries more than 20% of children have atopic dermatitis (AD). Clinical guidelines unite in the recommendation to use moisturizers/emollients as therapy mainstay. Deeper understanding of AD pathogenesis stimulates development of new, therapeutic moisturizers. To such moisturizers belong ceramide-containing moisturizers, in particular foam for moisturizing and nourishing dry sensitive skin with ceramides and a cholesterol-phytosterol complex. Aim. To study effects of foam for moisturizing and nourishing dry sensitive skin with ceramides and a cholesterol-phytosterol complex on the course mild to moderate severity AD. Materials and methods. In this prospective cohort study 30 children 3 to 17 years of age with mild to moderate severity AD were enrolled. They applied moisturizing foam skin lesion, surrounding skin and dry skin areas for 4 weeks. For all participants severity of AD was scored with SOCARD, EASI, IGA, skin pH, moisture and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured and severity of itching and xerosis was elicited with visual analogue scale. Results. Severity of AD in children who applied foam decreased on 22.8 score points with SCORAD, and on 3.1 points with EASI (for both indices p0.001). Skin moisture during treatment period increased (23.5% to baseline; p0.001), and TEWL decreased (for 5.45 g/hm2; p0.001); skin pH decreased 0.2 unit to normal values (р=0.002). It was found that skin moisture and TEWL correlate with AD severity so that less severe AD associated with moisture increase and TEWL decrease. As good and excellent rated foam smell 100% (95% CI 88.4100%) respondents, consistence 90% (95% CI 73.598.0%), and ease of use 97% (95% CI 82.899.9%) respondents. Conclusion. Moisturizing foam with ceramides and a cholesterol-phytosterol complex might be used in AD therapy.

End of life decision-making on ethical and professional grounds - a critical analysis
Authors: Sumaira Sumaira
Published: September 2022

The decision-making process is a part of everyone's daily practice. One must make decisions and take positions based on the circumstances. It requires critical analysis of the situation and needs a lot of deliberation before reaching a certain conclusion, especially related to life and death issues. An autonomous decision is the capability of an individual to take their own decision. End-of-life decisions necessitate agreement among the patient, family, and health care team. It is very crucial for patients with chronic kidney disease because as the disease progress the chance of prognosis gets difficult. In developing countries, end of life decision making practice is underused or not in use, leaving many vulnerable to that edge where their personal preferences are not compatible with end of life care. Healthcare providers can play an important role by ensuring personal wishes by several means (Tremethick et al., 2011). In this paper, the author discusses the ethical dilemma faced by health care providers while on a clinical placement. This paper critically analyses the ethical dilemma related to autonomous decision-making on ethical and professional grounds.
BIOFROLIC: An investigation of play as a biophilic design driver
Authors:   , Tindall Celeste
Published: September 2022

Children have an innate curiosity for nature, but for many, somewhere along the way into adulthood this curiosity is lost and the natural world is rendered foreign, dirty,alien and scary. How can we connect with this curiosity again? How can we connect through play? How can biophilic design principles facilitate the creation of engagingspaces which reconnect people to nature through play?

This thesis aims to answer this question through qualitative and arts-based research, and will combine biophilic and ludic architecture principles into design conventions.

The research will review why there is a decline in our interaction with nature, the impacts of this decline on our health, and how we can combat this decline witharchitecture. Review and characterisation of biophilic design precedents in New Zealand and overseas will unpack why they are successful or unsuccessful. Thisresearch will also explore what makes play enticing to adults and how to achieve this enticement in design, and the effects the sense of playfulness can have on us.

This thesis aims to establish the interrelation between biophilia and play within architecture. These two previously detached notions can now be integrated into onemethodology mediated by structural concepts. This study investigates how to create active engagement with biophilic design, going beyond visual design and insteadpiquing people’s curiosity by engaging their senses. In encouraging the interaction with design, this thesis intends to inspire people to engage with nature.

Consequences of pollinator availability and effectiveness for pollen transfer in a gynodioecious seed crop system
Authors: Waytes Riley , Cartar Ralph , Hoover Shelley
Published: September 2022

Pollinator availability and effectiveness are important considerations in plant systems that depend on insect transfer of pollen. In mixed-flower systems (such as dioecious or gynodioecious systems), pollinators may distinguish between morphs, a behaviour which could have negative implications if it leads to reduced cross-pollination. We examined pollinator visitation, response, and effectiveness in hybrid canola seed production, a gynodioecious crop, to understand how pollinator behaviour contributes to cross-pollination between ‘male’ (hermaphroditic) and ‘female’ (male-sterile) morphs. The pollinator types found in these fields differ in visitation rate, size, and pollen load, factors that may affect pollen transfer between plants. The willingness of pollinators to move between male and female flowers can also affect pollen deposition. We used an interview bouquet to present unvisited female inflorescences to different pollinator types visiting male and female flowers to understand behavioural responses to floral morphs and the factors that contribute to better pollination effectiveness. Managed pollinators (honey and leafcutter bees) were far more abundant than wild pollinators in this system. Bees foraging on male flowers were less likely to accept a proffered female flower than those foraging on female flowers. Pollen deposition on stigmas was influenced by pollinator type (female leafcutter bees were the most effective) and increased with time spent on a flower. Pollinators transferring from a male flower to a female flower deposited more pollen than those that originated on female flowers, emphasizing the importance of transfer between male and female morphs. Surprisingly, pollinators carrying more pollen transferred less pollen to recipient stigmas.

Combined application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers exerted significance influence on growth, yield and yield contributing characters of black gram. At growth, the tallest plant (38.74 cm), the highest number of leaves plant-1 (15.55), leaf dry weight plant-1 (6.99 g) and stem dry weight plant-1 (3.01 g) of black gram at 50 days after sowing (DAS) were obtained from poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 along with 50% of RDF. While, at 50 DAS, the highest number of nodules plant-1 (55.22) was recorded from cowdung @ 5 t ha-1 along with 50% of RDF and the highest number of SPAD value plant-1 (42.03) was found in poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 along with 50% of RDF. Again, at maturity, the highest number of seeds pod-1 (5.86), yield plant-1 (7.77 g), grain yield m-2 (130.70 g) and total dry weight plant-1 (17.21 g) were obtained from poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 along with 50% of RDF. Therefore, it can be concluded that poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 along with 50% of RDF combination might be a promising practice for black gram cultivation.

Weed infestation pattern changes over time for continuous adaptation of similar weed control methods. So, a survey was conducted at Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University from July 2019 to June 2020 to identify the most dominant and abundant weed species as well as to indicate the probable problematic weed in boro and T. aman rice. Seven fields were randomly selected for each of the boro and T. aman rice. The surveys were performed according to quantitative survey technique by using 0.25m2 quadrate with 16 samples from each of the field following the zig-zag method. Sampling was done twice, while the rice plants were at the vegetative stage and at reproductive stage. Fifty one weed species under 23 families were recorded at experimental area of which 42 species (under 18 families) and 38 species (under 20 families) were observed in boro and T. aman, respectively. Poaceae topped the list with 10 species, while Cyperaceae ranked second with six species. The highest number of weed species (no. 42) was observed in boro rice compared to T. aman rice (no. 38). Besides, divergence in the weed composition was also high between both rice fields. Among the 11 abundant weed species, Eleocharis atropurpurea, Echinochloa crusgalli and Monochoria vaginalis were the most frequent and abundant weed species found in both boro rice and T. aman rice. Broadleaves had higher abundance value (246.26% in boro and 332.39% in T. aman) than grasses (188.76% in boro and 146.68% in T. aman) and sedges (164.98% in boro and 120.93% in T. aman). Moreover, the annuals were dominant over the perennials. Therefore, the present results having diversified weed species with different ranks and orders indicated that the weed management strategies should be taken regarding the infestation of dominant weed species of the respective crop.

In national plans, policies, and earlier development programs, livelihoods of mountain people in the Nepal Himalayas were overlooked, rendering them more susceptible to climatic risk and disaster. The management of marginal mountain agricultural land is crucial for food security, improved living conditions, and environmental protection. For enhancing livelihoods and ecological benefits, mountain agriculture is vital, however, a consolidated review on mountain farming is limited in Nepal. We used "mountain" AND "Nepal" AND "farming" OR "agriculture" in the literature's title published between 1978 and 2021 on Google Scholar and did an in-depth review of papers on the four thematic areas: mountain crops, soil fertility, livelihoods, and farm-forestry linkages. We observed a variety of nutrient-rich mountain crops with a market potential as niche products, low and deteriorating soil fertility of agricultural lands, a weakening of the farm-forest links, and an increase in the diversity of mountain livelihood choices. Small landholdings, labor outmigration mainly men, feminization of mountain farming, and food insecurity are the greatest challenges to the growth of agriculture in mountainous regions. There are, however, ample opportunities to make mountain regions green through agroforestry and community forests, to improve livelihoods by introducing niche value chains for products, to explore payment for ecosystem services through downstream-upstream linkages, and to recognize their traditional knowledge and practices through citizen science research and development.

In Gambia, fruits and vegetable are the principal source of vitamins and minerals plays an important role in food, nutrition and income security of producers. Over the years’ climate change had an adverse effect on production and productivity of vegetables. The aim of the study was to address the problems faced by vegetable producers in relation to change using the climate smart agricultural technologies. The methodology of the study was random sampling administering semi-structure questionnaire, key informant interviews, and focus group discussion among producers. The finding showed that, onion registered 4000kg generating a net income of D196,000.00 followed by sweet pepper with net return of D112,000.00, however cabbage and bitter tomato there was no significant difference. Onion production was found to be the most outstanding commodity grown by women producer based on its comparative advantage. In addition, the second highest income earned was Gengi wollof’s with a net return of D707,616.00 thousand from vegetable production. Based, on the research findings I conclude that, crop diversification and intensification is the most effective and efficient resilient approach to mitigate the effects of climate change while increasing nutrition and income of vegetable producers. Therefore, recommends to government, partners, CSOs, and private sector to strengthening the capacity of women in the process of adapting and mitigating climate change related issues practicing climate smart agriculture.

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University during November 2016 to April 2017 to investigate the effect of nutrient management on the growth performance of some aromatic rice varieties in Boro season. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications considering two factors viz. varieties and nutrient management. This experiment consisted of three varieties viz., BRRI dhan50, Basmati and BRRI dhan63, and seven nutrient managements viz., poultry manure 5 t ha-1, recommended dose of chemical fertilizers (i.e. 250, 126, 120, 100 and 10 kg N-P-K-S-Zn, respectively ha-1), 25% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1, 50% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1, vermicompost @ 10 t ha-1, 25% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 and 50% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + vermicompost @ 10 t ha-1. The results revealed that variety, nutrient management and their interaction exerted significant influence on growth characters of aromatic fine rice in Boro season. The highest plant height (55.14 cm, 66.14 cm) at 70 and 85 DAT, dry matter hill-1 (15.39 g) at 85 DAT and chlorophyll content (39.29) at 55 DAT was recorded from BRRI dhan63. While, Basmati produced the highest leaf area index (0.60) at 60 DAT and the highest number of total tillers hill-1 (11.52, 10.81, 9.619) was obtained from BRRI dhan50 at 55, 70, 85 DAT. In case of nutrient management practices, 25% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + vermicompost 5 t ha-1 produced the highest plant height (45.22cm, 55.22cm, 65.67 cm) at 55, 70, 85 DAT, leaf area index (0.70) at 60 DAT and chlorophyll content (41.56) at 55 DAT, respectively. Again, from the interaction, it was observed that all the growth parameters were significantly influenced and increased with suitable variety along with proper nutrient management. Therefore, from this study, it can be decided that BRRI dhan63 fertilized along with 25% less than recommended dose of chemical fertilizer + vermicompost 5 t ha-1 might be the best possible combination for proper growth of plant.
Disturbio Hidroelectrolítico

Más de la mitad del peso corporal corresponde a la presencia de agua, la misma que se encuentra distribuida en diversos espacios o compartimientos, siendo estos: el espacio intracelular, el espacio extracelular, este último subdividido en el espacio intersticial y espacio intravascular. Para funcionar con normalidad, el organismo debe impedir que los niveles de líquido contenido en dichos espacios varíen demasiado, ya que la alteración del líquido en uno de estos puede llevar a lo que se conoce como desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico. El control de los niveles de líquido conlleva una relación con los llamados electrolitos. Los electrólitos son minerales que, al ser disueltos en un líquido, como por ejemplo la sangre, llevan una carga eléctrica que pude ser positiva o negativa. Los electrólitos sanguíneos como el sodio, potasio, cloro y bicarbonato participan en la regulación y en el correcto funcionamiento de los nervios, músculos; así como también, ayudan a mantener el equilibrio ácido-básico y el equilibrio hidroelectrolítico.
