Rependando las Regulaciones Forestales: Superando los retos de la reforma regulatoria
Authors:   The World Bank, Smyle Jim , Collins Sally ,   Megaflorestais, Biason Claire ,   Rights and Resources Initiative
Published: August 2022

Este breve análisis va dirigido a las instancias decisorias y de políticas públicas del sector forestal que participan en la regulación y la supervisión de bosques naturales y regenerados. Por ello, el documento se refiere a un área limitada pero extremadamente fundamental de la gobernanza forestal: las regulaciones y los proceos regulatorios como instrumentos y medios para lograr los objetivos de la gestión forestal sostenible (GFS). Muchos de los elementos impulsores y de los factores que atenúan esta gestión se encuentran fuera del sector forestal, tal como la conversión de bosques para actividades agrícolas, y no es el propósito ni la intención de este documento abordarlos aquí. El propósito principal es centrarse en los asuntos que generalmente recaen dentro del mandato jurídico de las agencias públicas del sector forestal y por consiguiente dentro de las posibilidades de sus líderes para generar cambios.

Authors: Morán Nicolás , Marsalli Michael , Vargas Mauricio , De la Paz Joaquín , Cartaya Marco
Published: August 2022

Background: There is no standardized therapeutic strategy for locked posterior shoulder fracture–dislocation (PSFD), and no consensus exists on the analysis of preoperative factors. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate functional results and complications in a series of PSFD cases managed with open surgical treatment.Methods: Patients diagnosed with locked PSFD who underwent open surgical treatment with reduction and osteosynthesis between April 2016 and March 2020 were included. All participants were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Functional assessment used the modified University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) mod scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) questionnaire, subjective shoulder value (SSV), and visual analog scale (VAS). Complications were evaluated clinically and radiologically by X-ray and computed tomography.Results: Twelve shoulders were included (11 patients; mean age, 40.6 years; range, 19– 62 years). The mean follow-up duration was 23.3 months (range, 12–63 months). The UCLA mod, ASES, SSV, and VAS scores were 29.1±3.7, 81.6±13.5, 78±14.8, and 1.2±1.4 points, respectively. The overall complication rate was 16.6%, with one case of post-traumatic stiffness, 1 case of chronic pain, and no cases of avascular necrosis.Conclusions: Open surgical treatment of locked PSFD can achieve good functional results. A correct understanding of these injuries and good preoperative planning helped us to achieve a low rate of complications.
Digital protection of traditional villages of “Retaining Homesickness”
Authors: Zheng Wenwu , Liu Peilin
Published: August 2022

With the rapid disappearance of traditional villages, the traditional culture contained in them has been in jeopardy, and digital protection has become the international trend and necessary way to protect traditional culture. Under the new situation, “retaining homesickness” has become a realistic demand at the national level. Homesickness originates from the distance of time and space. The satisfaction of homesickness demands not only the protection of culture, but also higher requirements for digital technology. The main obstacles to the digital protection of traditional villages are the lack of mechanism and top-level design, the fragmentation of departments and disciplines, and the emphasis on “form” over “spirit” in digitalization. The key to solve the problem lies in the top-level design from the aspects of system and standard, choosing digital memory content based on landscape gene theory, and designing virtual tourism products that meet the needs of homesickness by taking virtual tourism as the service form.
Smart tourism destination, physical experience and rural tourism
Authors: Ballina Ballina Francisco J.
Published: August 2022

The STD paradigm must consider the relevance of technology, not only as a management component, but also as an attribute of the tourist experience at the destination. The concept of physical experience is emerging as an important challenge for the design of each STD, and there may be relevant differences between types of destinations.

This paper studies the STD/Physical binomial as the case of the chicken and the egg. It is based on field work in a rural destination, and builds a model that defines and values the concepts of Utility and Value of Technology for its visitors, integrating the main current technological applications in the STD.

The results allow us to observe how mobile, online/ontime technology is a permanent part of the tourist behavior, and of the creation of a new type of personalized experience that.

Collective Health as a Social Science: Reflections on the Possibilities of a Comprehensive Collective Health
Authors: Mendez Daniel
Published: August 2022

Social interaction employs both verbal and nonverbal language. We investigate the confidence level and brain activity when verbal and facial expressions are inconsistent. Four volunteers stored images of eight individuals whose facial expressions were either agradáveis (smiling) or unfavorable (rejection) sozinhas or in combination with a verbal expression [positive / negative]. As a measure of their trust, the participants were asked to make a donation to the individual in the photograph who was in financial distress. The Visual Analogue Scale was utilized to evaluate positive feelings and self-assurance levels (VAS). After seeing the photos, Event Related Potentials (ERPs) are acquired in 170–240 milliseconds. Standardized low-resolution electromagnetic brain tomography was used to pinpoint brain activity under incongruous situations (sLORETA). The VAS values for the positive condition smile were substantially greater than those for the other conditions (p 0.05). For inconsistency between verbal and facial responses, namely the smiling negative condition, the offer was severely reduced. Under discordant conditions, the parietal lobe was more active on EEG than under congruent conditions. Incongruence [negative smile] evoked less positive emotion, confidence, and offer quantity. Our findings indicate that incongruent sensory input increased activity in the parietal lobe, which may be a result of mentalization.

Authors: Wang Ning , Nie Hao , Zhao Xin-zhuo
Published: August 2022

As the pacesetter of cultural construction, publishing enterprises should not only insist on giving priority to social benefits, but also speed up the transformation and upgrading to improve economic benefits. Actively engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the core means to realize the unification of social benefits and economic benefits. We take the data of listed companies in China's publishing industry from 2010 to 2019 as a sample and confirm that publishing enterprises' active engagement of corporate social responsibility can promote the improvement of financial performance. In addition, executives' overseas experiences will promote the positive impact of CSR engagement on financial performance. The conclusion suggests that publishing enterprises should improve the operating model of corporate social responsibility, and actively try to recruit high-quality executives with overseas experience in the process of talent recruitment and introduction.
Hazards in the curation and display of mineral & rock specimens with especial emphasis on radioactivity
Authors: Henderson Paul
Published: August 2022

The geological curator is fortunate in having relatively few hazards with which to contend with the proviso that he should maintain a clean working environment and avoid unnecessary risks in the handling of specimens (e.g. specimens might be poisonous, sharp, or radioactive so they should not be licked). This article is concerned with the handling, storage, and display of radioactive specimens whether they be minerals, rocks, or fossils. It also makes brief reference to two other problems: the handling of asbestos minerals, and the use of ultraviolet radiation. Its main purpose is to give an introduction to the problems and to direct the curator to the relevant literature and advisory bodies. It is addressed mainly to the curator working in the U.K. (with respect to legislation), but workers in other countries should find it useful since similar regulations and advisory services exist in many parts of the world.

Geological conservation and the Nature Conservancy Council
Authors: Black George
Published: August 2022

Geology is fundamentally a field science, dependent on the ability to collect specimens and data from the crust of the Earth. Rock outcrops, natural or artificial, are the most important source of these basic requirements, but their continued existence is increasingly under threat. For geology to progress, the long-term survival of at least the most significant exposures must somehow be guaranteed.
Palaeobotany in Museums
Authors: Shute Cedric H. , Cleal Christopher J.
Published: August 2022

Museums, whether national or local, have a variety of roles and thus have diverse and sometimes conflicting pressure put on their resources. For many local museums, the provision of public displays is their most important role (Waterston 1979), since either directly or indirectly (e.g. the spin-offs of tourism) this is for the immediate benefit of their main paymaster, the ratepayer. As was cogently argued by Waterston, however, they can have another important role, which is to store specimens for academic research (see also Bassett 1979). Such material may have a national or even international importance and may thus have a greater long-term significance than the public displays.

The 1947 production of The Tragedy of Man was taken off repertoire in 1948, and the Budapest National Theatre was only allowed to stage the Madách play seven years later, on the 7th of January, 1955. The grandiose and legendary performance was co-directed by the three most respected directors of the era (Endre Gellért, Tamás Major, Endre Márton), the audience at the time could see star actors in two parallel casts – in front of a set designed before the war. This paper seeks to highlight the specific on-stage expressions of the sovietisation of theatre, through analysing the performance.
A plasztikus film
Authors: Balogh Áron
Published: August 2022

The first ’three-dimensional’ films in Hungary were broadcast in the purpose-built Toldi Dimensional Movie Theatre from 1951. During these unique broadcasts, the image sequences of the films and the physical space of reality became entertwined, and so due to the painstakingly designed 3D effect scenes, contemporary audiences could feel that the characters stepped out of the screen and into tangible proximity. This study portrays the dimensional effects of the most modern stereoscopic films.

Authors:   Can Tho University, Vietnam, Loi Nguyen Van , Thanh Dang Thi Kim ,   Ismart Education, Vietnam
Published: August 2022

Reading engagement is crucial to motivating EFL learners in reading classes. Recent research has attempted to explore the effect of affective engagement on reading comprehension, but there exists little empirical research regarding the effect of a text-driven approach to task design and development that draws on second language acquisition principles including both emotional and cognitive engagement. The current quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate its effect on EFL learners’ reading comprehension. The study involved 62 Vietnamese EFL teenage learners (aged from 14 to16) from two intact classes at an English language center in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. One class with 31 learners was assigned to the experimental group whose reading lessons employed a text-driven framework for adapting tasks from a textbook used by the center. The other class, who followed reading activities provided in the textbook, was treated as the control group. Two reading comprehension tests, a pretest and a posttest, were administered before and after a 13-week intervention. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the reading comprehension posttest. In interviews with selected learners, they also reported feeling more engaged and motivated to read.

Published: August 2022

Oyster mushroom is one of the most popular mushrooms in North Bengal and a large number of growers are now cultivating oyster mushroom throughout the year. There are mainly three species of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus, P. sajor-caju, P florida) which are being cultivated in this region. Out of these three mushrooms, P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju are generally cultivated in summer as it grows in a temperature between 25-33C while P. florida is generally cultivated during winter as it requires 15-20°C for its growth. Bottle cultivation is a technique of mushroom cultivation where it reduces the cost of plastic bags and the plastic bottles can be recycled. Besides plastic bottles, other used laboratory chemical plastic containers were also tested and gave good results.
Management of grey blight disease of Som plants using value added vermicompost with Glomus constrictum and Bacillus altitudinis
Authors: Acharya A , Chakraborty Usha , Ghosh S , Chakraborty Biswanath
Published: August 2022

Grey blight disease caused by Pestalotiopsis disseminata, is one of the major foliar fungal diseases that constantly affects Persea bombycina Kost, a primary host plant of muga silkworm. Under nursery condition, grey blight disease was recorded mostly in SS and S6 morphotypes of som plants. Vermicompost, PGPR and AMF, alone and in combination were applied for the improvement of the growth of eight morphotypes of som plant as well as to reduce incidence. Growth in terms of height (cm), no. of leaves and no. of branches were studied. Analysis of some major defence related enzymes such as POX, PAL, CHT and GLU was also carried out to check induction of resistance after treatment. Artificial inoculation of som plants under nursery condition with spore suspension of P. disseminata was performed and disease progression noted for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. It was clearly seen that disease progression was slow and less in treated inoculated plants. The results emphasize the fact that application of bioinoculants can be studied in larger scale for the upliftment of the health status of muga host plants.

Variability in seed morphology was studied in 15 rice cultivars using qualitative and quantitative characters. Germplasm of these indigenous rice landraces were collected from Bijanbari, Kalimpong, Sikkim, Malda, Siliguri and UBKV (Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya). Data were recorded for traits such as Kernel colour, Seed cóat colour, Aroma, Presence of Awn and Length of the seed. A total of 9 landraces had white kernel colour while 4 had brown and 2 had greyed-orange. The seed coat colour variation in different landraces ranged from Golden yellow, Yellow, Red and Black. 6 landraces were having aroma whereas 9 had no aroma and lastly 11 landraces were found to have awn and 4 were awnless. UBKV-4 was longest in length with 1.1 cm and Sano masuri being the smallest of 0.4 cm. Establishment of disease in naturally infected rice cultivars were observed and disease index was calculated. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) were screened from rhizosphere of fifteen rice cultivars grown on experimental field using wet sieving and decanting method. Microscopical observation revealed the presence of different genus of sp. Were found to high in all the fifteen cultivars of rice plants followed by Gigaspora, Scutellospora and Acaulospora. Histopathological study of roots showed the presence of vesicles and arbuscules. AMF infection and total number of spores per 100 grams of soil were recorded. Present study evaluates the study of different AMF population and their histopathology harbouring in the rhizosphere of rice.

Authors: Roy Subhas Chandra
Published: August 2022

Orchid seed is rather difficult to germination rather than other angiospermic seeds, because of lack radical and endosperm, leaf rudiments. Seed germination and protocorm like body (PBL) formation of Geodorum densiflorum (Lam.) Schltr. was performed. This study was conducted to determine the effects of coconut milk (CM), and BAP for optimal media culture. Seeds from sterilized capsules were cultured on two media and MS medium (Knudson C orchid medium, KnC, containing 0 and 25% (v/v) CM and 0 and 5 mgl BAP with 0.8% (w/v) agar as material. The cultures were solidifying provided by cool white florescent maintained tubes. The highest germination percentage was observation in 15% (v/v), CM and 3 mg l-1 BAP both in MS and KnC media. Seeds germinated and formed light green globular structures on the medium after three weeks of culture. These globular structures produced Protocorm-like body (PLB) and proliferated and developed into irregular-shaped rhizomes with white hairy structures. Highest in vitro seed was found in KnC medium supplemented with 15% CM and 3 mgl-1 BAP about 95.31 % whereas in MS medium maximum cultured germination KnC reached medium at 79% with 15% CM and 3 mg BAP. Overall, this study showed that Geodorum seeds culture on KnC medium containing CM and BAP can be used for clonal propagation.

Os gafanhotos são insetos de grande relevância ecológica, pois estão na base da cadeia alimentar de vários ecossistemas. Contudo, em certas condições, podem desenvolver comportamento gregário, formando enxames que geram prejuízos econômicos e sociais, visto que muitas vezes atingem áreas de produção agrícola, principalmente em regiões acometidas por pobreza extrema. A partir desse cenário, surge a necessidade de alternativas que controlem esses enxames, mas que não gerem danos ecológicos, dada a importância dos gafanhotos. Neste artigo, o gene drive é apresentado como uma possível alternativa ao combate dos gafanhotos, mas que ainda deve permanecer no âmbito das pesquisas científicas até que seja possível aplicá-lo com segurança em populações naturais.

Published: August 2022

Depression is a psychological disorder that may lead to social disability. As a consequence, the psychological well-being of depressive patients can be strained. Social support is a possible moderator of the relation between social disability and
psychological well-being. The focus of the present study is on the main effect versus
the buffering effect of social support. This study examined the relationship of social support, social disability and psychological well-being in community –dwelling person
with depression. Methods: Data on 180 depressive patients were gathered by mean of
a 1-hr interview at the patient’s home. Results: Receiving more daily emotional support
positively related to greater psychological well- being; whereas problem-oriented
emotional support negatively related to some aspect of psychological well-being.
People receiving more social companionship turned out to be less depressed.
Conclusion: The assumption was confirmed that social support has a major effect on
psychological well-being. A buffering effect of social support was not demonstrated.

Violence Against Women : An Analysis
Authors: Chakraborty Sukriti , Pal Abha R
Published: August 2022

What is Violence against women? The United Nations defines violence
against women as “any act of gender- based violence that results in, or is, likely to
result in physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of
such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or
private life.” Violence is a violation of women’s fundamental rights, often with
devastating consequences. In countries where there is no law against domestic violence,

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vitamin D, blood glucose, and lipid profiles in the Turkish population
Authors: Dirol Hülya , Kose Firat , Sozel Hasan
Published: August 2022

Background: The frequency of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (vitamin D) deficiency may have increased due to less sun exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the contrary, considering the data indicating that vitamin D deficiency increases susceptibility to respiratory tract infections, more people may have chosen to take vitamin D supplements as a precaution during the pandemic.
Aim of the study: To assess how the pandemic affected vitamin D levels, blood glucose levels, and lipid profiles in a Turkish population.
Material and methods: This retrospective single-center study was conducted at a university hospital. Data about age, gender, comorbidities, vitamin D3, blood glucose, and lipid profiles were obtained from the hospital database. The patients were grouped into pre-pandemic (before 10 March 2020) and pandemic periods (between 10 March 2020 and 10 March 2021) and compared in terms of vitamin D, blood glucose, lipid profile, and other metabolic parameters.
Results: The hospital records of 8,658 patients were examined in this study. Of these, 3,551 (41.0%) were from the pre-pandemic period, and 5,107 (59.0%) were from the pandemic period. Females accounted for 5,980 (69.1%) of the patients, and the mean age was 44.15±16.72. The mean vitamin D level was significantly higher during the pandemic than during the pre-pandemic period (p<0.001; 21.30±11.92 ng/mL vs. 19.89±11.33 ng/mL, respectively). There were significant differences between the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods in blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (p<0.05).
Conclusions: This study determined that vitamin D, blood glucose, LDL, and triglyceride levels increased, while HDL levels decreased, during the COVID-19 pandemic in a Turkish population.
Military Administration and Relations with the Local Population in Ingria and the Baltic States in the First Decade of the Northern War
Authors: Slavnitskiy N. R.
Published: August 2022

The paper deals with the question of how military control was established and how relations with the local population developed in the territory of Ingria and the Baltic states in the initial period of the Northern War. The situation in these two regions was different. The population of Ingria from the very beginning was perceived as «their own», and during the hostilities Peter I forbade the destruction of this territory. After the Russian troops entrenched themselves in this area, resettlement from other regions began there, in connection with this, they established it as a military one. So is civil administration. The population of the Baltics was initially considered an enemy, and the tsar encouraged the ruin of Livonia, however, as the territory of this region was occupied by Russian troops, the attitude towards its inhabitants also changed, which Peter I gradually began to perceive as his subjects. Military administration in Livonia was established in the same way as in Ingria.
Review on Artificial Neural Network and its Application in the Field of Engineering
Authors: Paul A.K. , A. Prasad  , A. Kumar
Published: August 2022

The engineers have been utilising artificial neural networks (ANNs), one of the most effective and adaptable tools offered by artificial intelligence, for many years in a variety of applications. A simple mathematical model of brain functions is provided by ANNs, which are computational tools. They can be used for tasks like modelling, categorisation, and prediction when combined with raw data and a learning system. They have recently experienced a sharp increase in popularity and are currently among the most important study topics in the disciplines of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Large groups of basic classifiers known as neurons make up an ANN. Chemical engineers use them to automate process controls, model complex linkages, and forecast reactor performance. Large data sets can benefit from ANNs' capacity for learning, but these systems can also overfit or become stuck in local minima and are challenging to reverse engineer. The function of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in chemical engineering is explored in this article. For creating chemical engineering processes, the ANN is quite helpful. The process is very quick and trustworthy. We also gathered several journal publications and current research articles, summarising the use of ANN in various chemical engineering fields and its processes.
From the Classroom to the Living Room: Home-Based Learning to Improve Students’ Achievement in English Learning amid Pandemic

The goal of the study was to see how successful Home-Based Learning (HBL) is for senior high school students during Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). The researcher looked at the students' performance in pre-test and post-test between the controlled and experimental groups, as well as the significant difference between the two groups, to determine effectiveness. The study used a quantitative design, the students were placed into two groups for data collection: the controlled group and the experimental group. A pre-test and a post-test were given to both groups. The normality distribution test, homogeneity variance test, paired sample correlation test, and to test the effectiveness of HB. The hypotheses testing was needed, therefore paired sample t-test was used to examine the raw data. According to the calculations, the experimental group's post-test mean score was 64.33, compared to 46.00 for the control group. In addition, the paired sample t-test is used to assess hypotheses. The significant value was calculated using SPSS 16.0 and was found to be (3.800>2.145). This demonstrated that the home-based learning program was successful. This research was significantly unique as it did not only focus on the causes of online home-based learning but brought into light its effectiveness.

A new lichen species Lecaimmeria pakistanica K.Habib, R.Zulfiqar & Khalid sp. nov. is described and illustrated from rocks in the temperate forests of the Himalaya of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. This species is characterized by its yellow-brown to brown thallus having areoles 0.4 to 1.5 mm across, branched and anastomosing paraphyses, a tall hymenium, large ascospores 20–32 × 10–16 μm, and no substance detected by thin layer chromatography. All other species of the genus have ascospore dimensions in the range of 14–22 × 5–14 μm. A phylogenetic analysis is provided based on ITS nrDNA sequences, and supports the separation of the novel species. Photographs and a comparative analysis with related species of Lecaimmeria are provided to confirm the status of the species.
Imaginarse un futuro en vecindarios de clase baja en el área metropolitana de Guadalajara, México
Authors: Calonge Reillo Fernando
Published: August 2022

En las últimas décadas se han multiplicado las investigaciones que abordan la clase social desde las experiencias que desarrollan los sujetos de sus entornos urbanos. No obstante, aún queda por profundizar en cómo la imaginación sobre el propio vecindario puede ser también un fenómeno condicionado por la clase social. El propósito de este artículo es indagar si la imaginación es un concepto provechoso para describir cómo los sujetos contemplan el futuro de sus vecindarios, y retratar las imaginaciones que pudieran ser propias de los sujetos de clase social baja. Para alcanzar este objetivo, recurrimos al trabajo de campo etnográfico desarrollado en los vecindarios ubicados entorno a Zalatitán, una localidad perteneciente al Área Metropolitana de Guadalajara, México. El trabajo muestra la existencia de tres fórmulas para imaginar los futuros de estos vecindarios, la de aquellos que suponían que podían preservar las formas tradicionales de vida en el vecindario, la de aquellos que aceptaban que continuarían viviendo en un espacio ampliamente degradado, y la de aquellos que, al observar las múltiples deficiencias de su entorno, albergaban la esperanza de mudarse a otro lugar. Para cualquiera de estas tres fórmulas, se propone que la falta de control sobre las propias condiciones presentes, y la precariedad de las imaginaciones a futuro, podrían entenderse como particulares de las clases sociales bajas.
The proportion of randomized controlled trials that inform clinical practice

Prior studies suggest that clinical trials are often hampered by problems in design, conduct, and reporting that limit their uptake in clinical practice. We have described ‘informativeness’ as the ability of a trial to guide clinical, policy, or research decisions. Little is known about the proportion of initiated trials that inform clinical practice. We created a cohort of randomized interventional clinical trials in three disease areas (ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and lung cancer) that were initiated between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010 using ClinicalTrials.gov. We restricted inclusion to trials aimed at answering a clinical question related to the treatment or prevention of disease. Our primary outcome was the proportion of clinical trials fulfilling four conditions of informativeness: importance of the clinical question, trial design, feasibility, and reporting of results. Our study included 125 clinical trials. The proportion meeting four conditions for informativeness was 26.4% (95% CI 18.9–35.0). Sixty-seven percent of participants were enrolled in informative trials. The proportion of informative trials did not differ significantly between our three disease areas. Our results suggest that the majority of randomized interventional trials designed to guide clinical practice possess features that may compromise their ability to do so. This highlights opportunities to improve the scientific vetting of clinical research.
