Museums, University Collections and the Concept of Sustainable Development

The paper attempts to contribute to the debate on the possibility of using tangible and intangible traces of scientific and cultural activity of universities in the implementation of sustainable development tasks, especially of utilising the cultural capital of museums and academic collections for building an engaged academic community. These objectives become both a need and an obligation, next to sustainability and accountability in the field of research, heritage protection, and popularisation. The aim of the paper is to discuss how the principles of sustainable development in the area of culture can be linked to the cultural heritage of universities, and how to inscribe the implementation of these principles in the university’s activity.
Prestiż. Kulturowy wymiar pracy w teatrze w aspekcie zrównoważonego rozwoju na Warmii i Mazurach

Prestige. Cultural Dimension of Work in the Theater in Terms of Sustainable Development in Varmia and Masuria The aim of the text is to show the role of culture in sustainable development as a process in which the values, that define work, are transferred and consolidated. The example is the prestige of artistic work in the theatre in Varmia and Masuria region. The cultural function of work is expressed here in the values that determine the prestige of workplaces and professions. Prestige is a concept that specializes and prioritizes the perception of work. It means public respect which is expressed by at least two participants of communication. The theatre is the object of expressing prestige in the performance of work. The subject of the analysis are congratulatory diplomas given to a well known actress of the Olsztyn theatre from the 1940s to 1980. The topics analysed include the reasons for expressing prestige, ways of determining merit, phrases emphasizing prestige and its non-verbal forms. The prestige of the theatre institution and prestige of persons who work there is not directly a result of their professional activities but is determined by other, external factors. The ‘subordinate’, service and non-profit character of cultural institutions and their workers is emphasized. Moreover, the prestige is expressed in a specific cultural context of a region which suffered from significa

Published: April 2022

Face recognition has achieved more attention in computer vision with the focus on modelling the expression variations of human. However, in computer vision system, face recognition is a challenging task, due to variation in expressions, poses, and lighting conditions. This paper proposes a facial recognition technique based on 2D Hybrid Markov Model (2D HMM), Cat Swam Optimization (CSO), Local Directional Pattern (LDP), and Tetrolet Transform. Skin segmentation method is used for pre-processing followed by filtering to extract the region of interest. Resultant image is fed to proposed feature extraction method comprising of Tetrolet Transform and LDP. Extracted features are classified using proposed classifier “CSO trained 2D-HMM classification method”. To prove the superiority of method, four face datasets are used, and comparative results are presented. Quantitively results are measured by False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR) and Accuracy and the values are 0.0025, 0.0035 and 99.65% respectively
Nachhaltige Mobilität im Quartier/ZEFIR-Materialien Bd. 20: Eine Akzeptanzstudie
Authors: Graf Anne , Pfeiffer Corinna , Petermann Sören
Published: April 2022

Für eine zukünftige umweltverträglichere Mobilität sind Verkehrsverlagerungen vom Auto auf emissionsärmere Verkehrsmittel wie öffentliche Verkehrsmittel und das Fahrrad relevant. Ziel des Projekts „Nachhaltige Mobilität im Quartier. Eine Akzeptanzstudie“ ist es, wichtige Einflussfaktoren auf die Verkehrsmittelnutzung der Personen zu identifizieren. Dafür werden Unterschiede zwischen Personen, die monomodal das Auto nutzen, und multimodalen Perso- nen gesucht. Anhand dieses Vergleichs sollen Bedingungen abgeleitet werden, die eine mul- timodale Verkehrsmittelnutzung fördern und damit zu Verkehrsverlagerungen beitragen können. Als Untersuchungsebene werden drei Quartiere der deutschen Großstadt Bochum gewählt. Damit können die Bedingungen in den unmittelbaren Wohnumgebungen der Personen in den Blick genommen werden. Unsere Ergebnisse stützen sich auf eine Bewohnerbefragung (n=2179), Stadtteilbegehungen und 14 vertiefende Interviews, die eigens für dieses Projekt durchgeführt wurden. Ein starker Zusammenhang zu multimodaler Verkehrsmittelnutzung besteht für die Verfüg- barkeit der Verkehrsmittel, eine intensive Nutzung der direkten Wohnumgebung und positive Einstellungen gegenüber dem Fahrrad.
José Robledano Torres, oficio, infierno y memoria de un pionero gráfico
Authors: CHAVES AMIEVA Óscar
Published: April 2022

Los dibujos realizados por José Robledano Torres durante su periplo por las cárceles franquistas entre 1939 y 1942 son una muestra excepcional de las posibilidades del acto creativo como ejercicio de testimonio y expresión de la violencia. Proporciona un acceso privilegiado a la memoria de la derrota republicana (fig. 1) y participa de un proyecto artístico coherente sobre el que versa el presente trabajo, en el que analizaremos con especificidad aquellos aspectos que dan sentido al corpus, reinterpretando la obra de Robledano en su conjunto con los dibujos penitenciarios como centro. Un recorrido que va desde sus primeros pasos como ilustrador hasta los tímidos ejercicios de rememoración y reintegro de su figura en el imaginario público que se han ido dando hasta nuestros días.
Paredes y/en movimiento: murales y activismo. el caso chicano
Authors: IBARRARAN-BIGALONDO Amaia
Published: April 2022

El Movimiento Chicano que se gestó y desarrolló en los años 60 en el contexto de la lucha por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos, tuvo entre sus objetivos el de demandar los derechos como ciudadanos plenos estadounidenses de este colectivo, por un lado, y el de reivindicar su especificidad cultural en el entramado socioétnico del país, por otro. Este se articuló a través de marchas, manifestaciones y protestas que se sucedieron en las calles de las grandes ciudades del país, y en particular en las de Suroeste. Esta actividad de denuncia se vio además reflejada en una abundante producción artística, que sirvió de expresión de la lucha del movimiento, así como de instrumento de articulación de “la identidad chicana” sobre la que se sustentaba la ideología del movimiento. Este es el caso de los murales, que comenzaron a surgir en las paredes de las calles de los barrios mejicanos/chicanos de las ciudades del Suroeste de los Estados Unidos. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo el de reflexionar en torno a uno de los casos más representativos de este fenómeno, el caso del Chicano Park, en San Diego, considerado el conjunto de murales chicanos más representativo, tanto por su calidad como por su cantidad, de los Estados Unidos. En concreto, se ofrecerá una reflexión en torno a su relevancia como símbolo de la lucha comunal y colectiva de un barrio, así como de la reivindicación de “lo chicano”, y en particular, de su pasado indígena, a través de las pinturas que dieron forma a la demanda de un barrio que se vio amenazado por la rampante gentrificación espacial y cultural.

La Herencia estético-ética del peronismo en los murales argentinos contemporáneos
Authors: PRÉVOST Caroline
Published: April 2022

En las últimas dos décadas, los muralistas argentinos se han organizado en redes y colectivos para desarrollar un proyecto estético-político que se encuentra en la encrucijada de la tradición y la contemporaneidad. Teniendo esto en cuenta, en este artículo nos proponemos explorar la recuperación, resemantización y adaptación a la superficie mural de una iconografía de los años 45-50 vinculada a la izquierda peronista, que se convertiría entonces en un proyector de las preocupaciones sociopolíticas actuales. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo, nos basaremos en el análisis de seis frescos realizados entre 2013 y 2021 en diferentes espacios urbanos del país.

REVIVING THE KLANG VALLEY ECONOMY DURING PANDEMIC THROUGH DIGITALISATION OF THE MARITIME LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
Authors: Norman Siti Salma , Othman Mohamad Rosni
Published: April 2022

The maritime logistics industry is an international business ecosystem and backbone of Malaysia’s economic development. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed a drastic decline of industries all over the world, which may take a very long time to recover. This paper discusses the digital transformation of the maritime logistics industry based in the Klang Valley of Peninsular Malaysia as a strategic plan to improve existing business processes and make it resilient in face of the challenges brought on by the pandemic. We evaluated the digitalisation practices of maritime logistics companies to identify enablers that can help restore the economy as the industry tries to move on under the shadow of COVID-19. The Fuzzy Delphi (FD) method is used to collect and analyse data based on the response of 18 experts with more than five years of industry experience. A total of 15 key enablers were determined and ranked in terms of priority, with the top three being changes in the long-term industry growth rate, marketing innovation and implementation of digital platforms. These key enablers may then be used to develop good strategies to enhance competitiveness and build the resilience of this sector against the disruptions brought on by the pandemic.

Authors: Abd Halim Zatil Noorshahadah , Saadon Mohd Saiful Izwaan , Othman Mohamad Rosni , Mohamed Nor Dina Azleema
Published: April 2022

The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) is one of the most advanced container terminals in Malaysia. It is the country’s top transhipment port, providing facilities, equipment, and information technology systems that integrate all users. In the port industry, it is necessary to emphasise the use of occupational safety and health to ensure that the industry is successful, safe, efficient and sustainable. Occupational safety and health are one of the most important aspects to protect the welfare of prime mover drivers. Driving prime movers in a port is a hazardous occupation, and although many rules and safety equipment exist, many accidents resulting in life-long effects on drivers continue to occur. This study aims to determine the hazard identification, Risk Assessment And Risk Control (HIRARC) for prime movers at PTP. Generally, this research focuses on three objectives, namely to identify and evaluate risks that prime mover drivers face in PTP and suggest countermeasures. This study uses a quantitative approach to obtain information about HIRARC for safety and health of prime mover drivers. Research findings are used to develop preventive measures to maximise safety and resolve security issues.

The Risk of Creating Difficult-To-Treat Psoriasis by Switching Multiple Biologic Therapies: A Case Report and Relative Considerations
Authors: Burlando Martina , Salvi Ilaria , Cozzani Emanuele , Parodi Aurora
Published: April 2022

Despite the revolution represented by biologic drugs, it is safe to say that every dermatologist has known the frustrating experience of treating a “difficult” patient with psoriasis. Such patients may have been treated with numerous drugs, never achieving long-term disease control. We hereby present the case of a patient who, despite having been treated, over the course of 15 years, with 7 biologics and 3 traditional systemic agents, has never experienced lasting remission. We also discuss hypothetical reasons for these repeated treatment failures: while obesity and ANA positivity could have contributed significantly, a third, more complex, factor may be to blame. It is possible that frequently switching to the newest drug available, due to lack of other therapeutic options, interfered with the pathogenetic phenotype of the patient, and, consequently, with the response to other biologics. This disheartening and fascinating hypothesis clearly needs to be investigated, in the hope of finding solutions for all seemingly impossible-to-treat patients.
Legal Status of the Who’s Covid-19 Investigator in International Law Perspective
Authors: Suryokumoro Herman , Ula Hikmatul , R Intania Zahra
Published: April 2022

Introduction: This issue was raised based on the fact that the COVID-19 investigation team in carrying out their duties did not always go well, one of which was the refusal of several people from the investigation team to enter Chinese territory.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to analyze the legal protection of the COVID-19 investigator team from WHO in the perspective of international law.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative juridical research with a qualitative analytical descriptive nature, by examining legal materials, both primary legal materials and secondary legal materials through literature studies and other related literature.Results of the Research: The position of the WHO investigation team in the perspective of international law is as an expert on mission as well as an expert on mission in the United Nations. Expert on mission is an external organ to assist the functions and goals of organizations including WHO. In carrying out their duties, the expert on mission is equipped with all legal protections as stipulated in the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies. Protection is given when the expert mission is carrying out its duties but in the convention there is no guarantee that the expert on mission is allowed -unconditionally- to enter the territory of the country. This is very reasonable considering that the state has full sovereignty over its jurisdiction. The ban on the entry of the COVID-19 investigation team for reasons of sovereignty should have been avoided considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is a common problem that requires cooperation from all over the world. The existence of obstacles to the work of the Investigation Team by China, which incidentally is the country that initiated the formation of the Covid-19 Investigation Team, is a bad precedent and a violation of international obligations as stipulated in the Responsibility of States for International Wrongful Acts.

Authors: Johan Suwinto
Published: April 2022

Introduction: This study looks at how to implement a three-month probationary period for probationary employees.Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to examine the working interaction between employees and employers in the financial industry during a employment agreement with a probationary period.Methods of the Research: This study employs a normative legal research approach.Results of the Research: The findings of this study show that a three-month probationary period is insufficient for evaluating a worker's performance. The extension of a probationary period for a worker is prohibited by law. Companies must look for new ways to appraise employee. Probationary periods are more suited to non-management positions than to managerial positions. For managerial level, the probationary term is more than three months. The level of directors is not regulated under labor laws. Labor law does not need to govern work agreements for workers at the managerial level. The parties' agreement can be regulated by the civil law.

Housewives have a myriad of activities, either as workers or employees or as housewives who prepare all household needs. Many things happen when mothers plant chilies at home, these plants do not bear fruit due to a virus attack. While most of the housewives have not seen the cause of their chili plants not bearing much fruit and dense. One of the causes of not bearing fruit or failed chili harvest is due to pests such as desease mosaic virus which causes chili plants to grow stunted, yellow leaves and bear little fruit or fail to bear fruit. On this occasion, the Implementer of Community Service for the D3 Medical Record and Health Information Study Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Duta Bangsa Surakarta Surakarta has carried out P2M activities to study mothers Ummi Al Hijrah regarding the activities of the desease mosaic virus. On this occasion the executor of Community Service expressed his gratitude to the head of the Ummi Al Hijrah Study for giving permission to place to carry out Community Service activities. Hopefully this activity will be useful to increase the knowledge of the women of the Ummi Al Hijrah Study regarding the activity of the desease mosaic virus and its prevention so that they will pay more attention to environmental health. The output of this community service activity is that the study mothers of Ummi Al Hijrah can see symptoms, signs, and prevention of the desease mosaic virus that attacks chili plants. If the plant's body power has become immune, it is hoped that the accompanying disease can be prevented.

Aedes is a genus of mosquitoes that often cause health problems. The genus Aedes is a biological vector of DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever). Concern over the current outbreak of DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) has resulted in the use of many chemical-based insect repellents such as insecticides to eradicate mosquitoes. However, these things can cause toxic residues that are harmful to human and livestock health, environmental pollution and can cause unwanted effects such as natural enemies if used continuously and for a long time. Currently, electric mosquito repellent is one of the people's choices. Therefore, to make people aware of the importance of high selectivity in using mosquito repellent that is safe for health and the environment, it is necessary to have community service regarding and training regarding the use and manufacture of herbal mosquito repellent. Hernal mosquito repellent is made from a mixture of natural ingredients that contain nicotinic substances that can protect us from mosquitoes. The materials used for the manufacture of mosquito repellent are very easy to find or easy to obtain. Because it only uses orange peel and garlic as the basic ingredients. The method of manufacture is also very easy so that it is also easy to apply among housewives. The manufacture of herbal mosquito repellent made from garlic and orange peel is an alternative as an insect repellent that is safe for health in terms of the ingredients
Ethical Practices among Media Bloggers in Information Provision in Tanzania
Authors: Tweve Julius , Malyi Martha
Published: April 2022

There has been a mushrooming of blogs on the Internet; in 1999, there were about 50 existing blogs and they were only known by a few individuals (Johnson, Kaye, Bichard, & Wong, 2007). However 29 percent (57 million) of American Internet users’ accessed blogs (Lenhart & Fox, 2006) and 8 out of 10 Americans knew what a blog was and almost half of America had visited blogs (Synovate, 2007). This phenomenal growth may be due to the dynamic nature of blogs; however, the aspect of ethical practices requires to be observed. While some blogs are updated weekly, many more are updated hourly (or even more frequently), with postings in reverse chronological order. Most are interactive and allow viewers to post comments (Lenhart & Fox, 2006). Unlike static websites, blogs depend upon hyperlinks not only to boost attention to their own blog but also ensure that users can be quickly led to relevant information. At their idealized best, we blogs are said to be a space to reflect on the ‘deluge of data’ (Blood, 2002) that receive, offering an antidote to the mass-mediated, corporatized culture that surrounds. They have the capability to report the news without constraints of censure or the pressures of advertising and draw upon a diverse range of sources. At their reductive worst, bloggers have been said to be strongly opinionated and even vitriolic in response to those who oppose their political positions (Johnson & Kaye, 2004).

Authors: Castro Xavier Galego Joyce , Costa Ferreira Rafael , Eloize Carducci Carla
Published: April 2022

A agricultura que emprega práticas de conservação do solo promove serviços ecossistêmicos como a mitigação dos gases de efeito estufa.  O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o sequestro de carbono de um Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico sob sistema de manejo conservacionista para a produção de linhaça ao longo de três anos de cultivo. O experimento foi desenvolvido durante três anos em sistema conservacionista de manejo para produção de três variedades de linhaça marrom: Caburé, Aguará e UFSC cultivados em Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico caulinítico. Foram coletadas amostras preservadas e deformadas em duas camadas constratantes: 0-0,15 e 0,15-0,30 m. Determinou-se a densidade global do solo, o carbono orgânico total, os estoques e o sequestro de CO2 -IPCC. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de variância e ao teste de Tukey (p<0,05). O manejo utilizado contribuiu com o estoque de carbono no solo, independente da variedade utilizada, em média, estocou-se 27 Mg C ha-1 na camada de 0-0,15m e 29,8 Mg C ha-1 a 0,15-0,30 m de profundidade, além de mitigar em média 10,48 Mg CO2 eq ha-1 em apenas três anos de cultivo, o que torna esse sistema de manejo ambientalmente sustentável com produções equivalente as obtidas no Sul do Brasil (0,71 Mg ha-1).
A Critical Analysis of the Role of Trees in Damage to Low Rise Buildings
Authors: Lawson Michael , O'Callaghan Dealga
Published: April 2022

Trees have been blamed for damage to building foundations in the United Kingdom. This has resulted in large numbers of high value insurance claims. Trees exert their influence through removal of moisture from clay soils. The existing data do not adequately explain the problem. A review of the situation as related to trees, biology, soil, water relations, and the effects of climate is presented. The published data are shown to be inadequate. A working model of how trees affect clay soils is proposed which explains the observed patterns. The need for greater interaction between the consulting arborist and the structural and building professionals is emphasized.

Comparison of Alternative Maintenance Treatments for an Electric Transmission Right-Of-Way on Steep Mountainous Terrain
Authors: Porteck Kevin G. , Miller Ansel E. , Ham Donald L.
Published: April 2022

A study has been initiated to evaluate some alternative vegetation management techniques on an electrical transmission right-of-way in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Three years after right-of-way clearing, fourtreatments and a control were blocked on south-facing slopes at three locations. The treatments consisted of 1) clearcutting by chainsaw, 2) a selective low-volume basal application of herbicide to tall-growing species, 3) clearcutting followed by a selective application of a tree growth regulator to cut stumps, and 4) clearcutting followed by a nonselective application of a tree growth regulator to cut stumps. After two growing seasons, mean tree heights for the chainsaw clearing and selective herbicide treatments were not significantly different from the untreated control. Treatments consisting of chainsaw clearing followed by application of a growth regulator provided the lowest mean tree height. However, areas treated with a growth regulator exhibited the largest increase of undesirable tall-growing tree seedlings. The chainsaw cutting treatment resulted in the greatest mean height for those species considered to be undesirable components of a right-of-way plant community, and yielded the largest number of sprouting stumps with the highest average number of sprouts per stump. Although the long-term treatment effects cannot clearly be determined after two growing seasons, the selective low-volume basal herbicide method has produced a tendency toward increasing the relative dominance of desirable species within the right-of-way
Effects of Cupric Hydroxide-Treated Containers on Growth of Four Southwestern Desert Landscape Trees
Authors: Martin Chris A. , Bhattacharya Sheila
Published: April 2022

Seedling liners of four southwestern desert landscape trees,Acacia smallii,Acacia stenophylla,Cercidium praecox, andProsopis chilensis, were potted into black polyethylene containers either painted on the inner wall with a latex paint containing cupric hydroxide [Cu(OH)2] or unpainted. Tree seedlings were then grown for five months in an outdoor container production nursery and evaluated for effects of Cu(OH)2-treated containers on tree growth. No foliar copper toxicity symptoms were observed on any species during the study. In comparison with unpainted containers, Cu-treated containers increased root branching frequency, reduced shoot extension, and lowered the number of primary shoot lateral branches of sweet acacia and shoestring acacia. Cu-treated containers also decreased height of shoestring acacia. Chilean mesquite grew taller and larger with increased shoot and root dry weights in Cu-treated containers in comparison with those in unpainted containers. However, effects of Cu-treated containers on growth of Chilean mesquite were not related to any changes in root branching frequency. Growth of palo brea and root-to-shoot ratios of all four tree species were not affected by Cu-treated containers.
Effect of Backfill Amendment on Growth of Red Maple
Authors: Smalley Timothy J. , Wood Carleton B.
Published: April 2022

Balled-and-burlapped red maple (Acer rubrum) trees were planted in holes backfilled with 1) native soil, 2) 50:50 (v/v) aged pine bark: soil, 3) 50:50 (v/v) Mr. Natural Concentrated Landscape Media (CLM): soil, and 4) 100% CLM. The CLM is an improved, proprietary soil amendment composed of top soil, pine humus, granite sand, crushed granite, expanded shale, and composted poultry litter. The CLM: soil treatment increased fibrous root growth within the planting hole after five months but did not increase shoot growth. Aged pine bark induced nitrogen deficiency symptoms and reduced shoot growth during the first year. Shoot growth of the treatments did not differ after two years. The data support use of native soil in backfilling planting holes.
Managed Development of Tree Roots. II. Ultra-Deep Rootball and Root Barrier Effects on Southwestern Black Cherry
Authors: Barker Philip A.
Published: April 2022

Three-year-old seedlings of southwestern black cherry (Prunus serotina subsp.virensvar.virenswith rootballs 35 and 70 cm deep were field planted in northern California in April 1986 to compare the effects on root development of rootballs of two depths and a root barrier, which was a polyethylene casing around the rootballs of half of the trees of each treatment. Three growing seasons later, the roots were excavated to a depth of 32 cm in an area within a radius of 1 m from the tree trunks and dry weights of the exposed roots of each tree determined. There was no significant difference in root dry weights between the two rootball types. The casing, on the other hand, significantly reduced root dry weights for each rootball type.
Plant Moisture Stress of Green Ash Trees in Contrasting Urban Sites
Authors: Cregg Bert
Published: April 2022

On three dates in the late summer and early fall of 1994 we measured leaf water potential and gas exchange on green ash trees in 1) a park-like stand on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, 2) in large planters (5.1 m2) in an asphalt parking lot and 3) in small planters (1.8 m2) in the same parking lot. The trees on the campus had consistently higher pre-dawn leaf water potential (\|/) and photosynthetic rates (Ps) than trees growing in the nearby parking lot. Within the parking lot, trees grown in the small planters had lower \|/ and Ps than trees grown in large planters. The results support the supposition that urban environments increase plant moisture stress. Differences in growth and physiological performance between trees in the two planter types in the parking lot suggest that the adverse effects of the 'heat island' may be at least partially offset by adjusting the size of planter opening. Furthermore, models based on projected crown area, such as those developed by Bakker and Lindsey and Bassuk, provide useful guides for planning the amount of soil volume needed to ensure the survival and healthy growth of street trees.
Little-Known Elms from China: Landscape Tree Possibilities
Authors: Ware George
Published: April 2022

Elms from China offer good possibilities as urban trees because of good levels of disease resistance, stress tolerance, and aesthetic appeal. Success in obtaining seeds of little-known elm species has made possible the assembling of a large collection of elms at the Morton Arboretum. Assessment of the potential of these elms as urban trees is proceeding. Some of the elms from China are producing flowers, giving opportunities for hybridization. Several recently received species are new to North America, with arboricultural qualities and urban-use potential virtually unknown. Descriptive information has been obtained from a translated monograph on elms of China.
Hazard Tree Assessments: Developing a Species Profile for Western Hemlock
Authors: Dunster Julian
Published: April 2022

Many new housing developments are moving into forests and the public and political pressures to retain trees are high. However, in the absence of good species profiles, hazard tree and tree retention assessments in such forests are fraught with problems. To overcome some of these, species profiles are being developed to assist arborists in knowing what is reasonable to retain and why, and to provide a more defensible basis to justify removal. The hemlock has been evaluated in detail. The findings reveal that external indicators are not sufficient to judge the internal condition of hemlocks. A preliminary species profile has been developed for the western hemlock and is now being refined.
Growth and Iron Sequestering of Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) Seedlings Inoculated with Soil Containing Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
Authors: Hauer Richard J. , Dawson Jeffrey O.
Published: April 2022

Ectomycorrhiza formation, biomass production, and iron accumulation were determined for pin oak (Quercus palustris) seedlings grown for 2 years in acidic (5.5 pH) or alkaline (7.5 pH) media and inoculated with soil from 1 of 3 sites: 1) a native pin oak forest, 2) an urban site with chlorotic pin oak trees, or 3) an urban site with non-chlorotic pin oak trees. Ectomycorrhiza formation on pin oak roots was similar for soil inocula from all 3 sites, similar for both pH treatments, and lacking on non-ectomycorrhizal seedlings that had been inoculated with autoclaved soil. Seedling biomass was greater in the acidic medium than the alkaline medium. Inoculated seedlings in the alkaline treatment had greater biomass than uninfected control seedlings inoculated with autoclaved soil in the alkaline treatment. The mean iron concentration of seedlings grown in the acidic medium (54.3 ppm) was significantly greater than that of seedlings grown in the alkaline medium (48.7 ppm). Inoculated seedlings had similar mean leaf iron concentrations despite pH differences (49.3 ppm under acidic conditions and 52.7 ppm under alkaline conditions). Mean leaf iron concentration was lowest for the uninoculated seedlings in alkaline medium (44.8 ppm), suggesting that ectomycorrhizae contribute to iron accumulation in pin oak under alkaline soil conditions. Results indicate that ectomycorrhizae influence both growth and iron sequestering under iron-limiting conditions and that some urban soils harbor infective pin oak ectomycorrhizal fungi.
Estimating Economic Activity and Impacts of Urban Forestry in California with Multiple Data Sources from the Early 1990s
Authors: Templeton Scott R. , Goldman George
Published: April 2022

Urban forests provide tree products and aesthetic, recreational, health, and environmental benefits. Yet the expenditures that people make to secure these benefits are difficult to estimate for lack of comprehensive published data. Based on various sources of data, we estimate that Californians spent at least $947 million to obtain these benefits and the state’s urban forestry “sector” had sales of at least $1,115 billion in a 12-month period in the early 1990s. As a result of direct, indirect, and induced effects, urban forestry accounted for at least $3,384 billion in total sales. This level of sales became about $1,869 billion in annual income to individuals and supported about 57,200 jobs in this period within the state. Knowledge of this economic activity is important, in principle, to voters and public decision-makers who allocate human resources, tax revenue, and water for the management of community forests and other natural resources in California.
Fungicide Sprays affect Leaf Condition and Tree Appearance of Southern Magnolia
Authors: Goff William , Shumack Ronald , Tilt Ken , Hagan Austin
Published: April 2022

Several fungicides and chemical combinations were sprayed on southern magnolia trees to improve leaf condition and tree appearance. Leaf spot and leaf scorch symptoms, induced by the fungus Glomerella cingulata, were reduced significantly by sprays with benomyl, chlorothalonil, propiconazole, myclobutanil, or copper hydroxide. Addition of a non-ionic surfactant in sprays resulted in phytotoxicity, visible as a ring spot or faded brown patch on leaves. Tank mixing of copper hydroxide with other fungicides also increased phytotoxicity and did not improve disease control or leaf condition. Benomyl and propiconazole treatments were among the best in improving overall tree appearance.
Tree Root System Enhancement with Paclobutrazol
Authors: Watson Gary
Published: April 2022

Paclobutrazol 2SC (PBZ) was injected into the soil at the base of the trunk at 2 g a.i. per inch dbh. Surface fine root densities near the base of the trees were naturally higher than in the rest of the root system and were adequate to absorb the compound. PBZ treatment was effective in stimulating fine root development in pin oaks {Quercus palustris) and white oaks {Quercus alba). Pin oak fine root densities were increased significantly in high-quality topsoil. White oak fine root densities were increased significantly by PBZ alone and in combination with high-organic replacement soils. The treatment may be effective in stabilizing declining trees with insufficient fine root development.

The mood or attitude of the user can be determined by the shape of his face. These expressions can be extracted from the live camera feed of the system. In the field of computer vision and machine learning (ML), where machines are trained to recognize different human emotions or feelings, much research is being done. The human emotions can be perceived through the various techniques provided by machine learning. One such strategy is to integrate the CNN and Keras model, which produces a less trained model and simplifies ML integration. Music is often used to control emotions, especially to change bad moods, to improve energy, or to reduce tension. In addition, listening to the right music at the right time can contribute to good mental health.
