Avaliou-se o efeito da adubação nitrogenada sobre o estado nutricional das plantas, qualidade do caldo, produção de forragem e de açúcares pela RB867515, no ciclo de cana-planta de ano e meio. Em fevereiro aplicaram-se 6,0 t de calcário e 6,0 t de gesso, arando, gradeando-se e subsolando-se a seguir. No início de março, sulcou-se o solo e plantou-se a RB867515. No fundo do sulco de plantio aplicou-se apenas fósforo, na dose de 100 kg de P. Em outubro, foi aplicado o adubo potássico em dose única de 200 kg por hectare, e também o adubo nitrogenado. Foram utilizadas quatro doses de N: zero, 50, 100 e 150 kg por hectare. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em blocos casualizados, com 5 repetições. Em dezembro avaliou-se o estado nutricional da RB867515, e em julho, a qualidade do caldo, a produção de forragem e de açúcares. A adubação nitrogenada não influenciou em nenhuma das variáveis analisadas. As alterações causadas principalmente na cinética de absorção do nitrato, pela disponibilidade endógena de fósforo, aumentando a eficiência nutricional da cana, deve ter sido uma das causas da ausência de resposta a adubação nitrogenada. A RB867515 estava bem nutrida e a produção de forragem e de colmos industrializáveis foi alta, sendo os valores médios respectivamente de 154,75 e 130,53 t por hectare.

Authors: Hirawani Mutia
Published: February 2024

Colostrum, the initial fluid secreted by the breasts during early lactation, is renowned for its superior immune-boosting properties, offering crucial protection to newborns against diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between postpartum maternal knowledge and the provision of colostrum to infants. Utilizing an analytical survey approach, the research involved a population of 37 postpartum mothers. Random sampling was employed to select 37 respondents from the total population. The research instrument comprised a primary data collection tool in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 20 statements. Data processing involved editing, coding, tabulating, and scoring. Findings revealed that the majority of respondents exhibited inadequate knowledge, with 16 respondents (55.0%) scoring below the desired threshold. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test indicated a significant relationship between postpartum mothers' knowledge and the practice of colostrum provision (p-value = 0.044 < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis.
This study underscores the importance of enhancing maternal knowledge regarding colostrum provision, particularly in the context of the Nurkholida Darussalam Midwife Clinic, Panyabungan District, Mandailing Natal Regency. It is recommended that clinic leadership actively engage in educational initiatives to elucidate the benefits of colostrum, ultimately promoting optimal infant health outcomes.

Authors: LaValley Myles N. , Dugue David , Diaddigo Sarah E. , Kuonqui Kevin G. , Tyler Wakenda K. , Bogue Jarrod T.
Published: February 2024

Background:

The orthoplastic approach to patient care has changed the way patients with a wide variety of lower extremity pathology are treated. Through a systematic review, we aim to analyze outcomes in adult patients with lower extremity soft tissue sarcomas who undergo an orthoplastic flap management approach to their care.

Methods:

A systematic review of adult lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma excision with plastic surgery flap reconstruction was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines searching the Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to April 2023.

Results:

After removal of duplicates, title and abstract screening, and full-text review, 26 articles were accepted for inclusion. The total mean follow-up duration was 32.0 ± 24.3 months. Reconstruction used microvascular free flaps in 65.5% (487/743), while 34.5% (256/743) were local flaps. 85.8% (307/358) of patients ambulated postoperatively. Revision surgery was required in 21% of patients during their respective follow-up periods. The limb salvage rate was 93.4% (958/1,026). Among pooled surgical outcomes, 22.2% (225/1,012) of patients experienced a perioperative complication.

Discussion:

Our study demonstrates that although complication rates in lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma reconstruction may be further optimized, a multidisciplinary flap reconstructive approach provides high rates of limb salvage and functional postoperative ambulation.

Fingerprints of Conspiracy Theories: Identifying Signature Information Sources of a Misleading Narrative and Their Roles in Shaping Message Content and Dissemination
Authors: Kim Soojong , Kim Kwanho , Xue Haoning
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the role of information sources in the propagation and reception of misleading narratives on social media, focusing on the case of the Chemtrail conspiracy theory—a false claim that the trails in the sky behind airplanes are chemicals deliberately spread for sinister reasons. We collected data from Facebook Pages and Groups discussing the conspiracy theory. We specifically focused on identifying and analyzing “signature” information sources, which are repeatedly used by online communities engaged in the discussion of a misleading narrative but are not widely used by other communities. The findings indicate that messages referencing signature sources contain more death-, illness-, risk-, and health-related words, convey more negativity, and elicit more negative reactions from users, compared with those without signature sources. The insights from this study could contribute to the development of effective strategies to monitor and counter the spread of misleading narratives in digital spaces.
Securing Federated Platforms
Authors: Roth Yoel , Lai Samantha
Published: February 2024

As the social media landscape undergoes broad transformation for the first time in over a decade, with alternative platforms like Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads emerging where X has receded, many users and observers have celebrated the promise of these new services and their visions of alternative governance structures that empower consumers. Drawing on a large-scale textual analysis of platform moderation policies, capabilities, and transparency mechanisms, as well as semistructured group interviews with developers, administrators, and moderators of federated platforms, we found that federated platforms face considerable obstacles to robust and scalable governance, particularly with regard to persistent threats such as coordinated behavior and spam. Key barriers identified include underdeveloped moderation technologies and a lack of sustainable financial models for trust and safety work. We offer four solutions to the collective safety and security risks identified: (1) institutionalize shared responses to critical harms, (2) build transparent governance into the system, (3) invest in open-source tooling, and (4) enable data sharing across instances.

Aim:To determine and compare the flexural strength (FS) of heat-cured poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin,CAD/CAM-milled PMMA resin, and CAD/CAM-milled PMMA resin reinforced with graphene. Materials and methods:In accordance with ISO 10477:2018, thirty rectangular samples with measurements of25 mm (l) x 2 mm (b) x 2 mm (h) were manufactured for the purpose of FS evaluation (Dentistry-polymer-basedcrown and veneering materials). PMMA resin samples that were heat-cured (Group-I; n = 10), CAD/CAM-milled(Group-II; n = 10), and CAD/CAM-milled PMMA resin reinforced with graphene (Group-III; n = 10) were producedand sorted according to the kind of material. Before testing, the samples were kept for a full day in distilledwater. For each of the thirty samples, a 3-point bend test was conducted utilizing a universal testing machine ata crosshead speed of 1.0mm/min till breakage. Utilizing a One-way ANOVA and thepost hocTukey HSD test, theFS data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results:For the test samples in Group I, the mean flexural strength was 550.29 MPa. For Group II the mean flexuralstrength was 1481.966 MPa. For Group III the mean FS was 1447.45 MPa. A comparative assessment of Group Itest samples, Group II test samples, and Group III test samples showed that the mean FS is highly significant(P<0.001 ). On multiple comparisons, the mean FS difference between Group I test samples and Group II testsamples was observed to be highly significant (P<0.01 ). The mean FS difference between Group I test samplesand Group III test samples was observed to be highly significant (P<0.01 ). The mean FS difference betweenGroup II and Group III was observed to be insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion:CADCAM-milled PMMA resin showed the maximum FS followed by CADCAM-milled PMMAresin reinforced with graphene and heat-polymerized PMMA.

Most people consider Jammu and Kashmir to be heaven on earth. If there is heaven on earth, it is this, according to the Farsi couplet (Amir Khusrau). The couplet encouraged numerous kings to exercise control over Kashmir. Development has never been a priority for Jammu and Kashmir’s rulers. The Mughals utilized the state as apicnic area and administered it haphazardly through legendary Afghan rulers. Since Punjab remained their primary concern, the Sikhs in power in Lahore gave little thought to state-related matters. Dogras also had to deal with opposition from the populace, particularly in Kashmir, due to nepotism and an oppressive style of government. The state then turned into a conflict between India and Pakistan in 1947. Jammu and Kashmir occasionally experiences disturbances that are related to law and order. Therefore, upholding peace and order continues to be the government’s top priority, with growth taking a back seat. Jammu and Kashmir has continued to be a backward state mostly because of the aforementioned factors. The state has a very low per capita income, a large fiscal and revenue deficit, insufficient administrative and material infrastructure for development, high levels of corruption and unemployment, and a low literacy rate. Development Administration, according to its founder George F. Gant,“is intended to produce specific outcomes and is successful or terrible in terms of its delivery of results. It starts with the goal being defined and moves on to developing the administrative strategy necessary to attain it. In addition, the notion of Growth Administration was based on the ideas of nation-building and social and economic development. The concept of development administration was established by the study. The current study thus concentrates on the successes and challenges in the Development Administration in Jammu and Kashmir.

As a result of their institutional assignments, highly specialized information technology (IT) personnel often find themselves in unpredictable and complex situations with a high level of difficulty. The complexity of the tasks to be carried out and the management of these tasks have set new challenges for this category of personnel. It is all the more important, therefore, that the personnel employed should acquire differentiated stress control techniques during qualifying training to develop a long-term performance capability. Following up on the earlier mentioned challenges, an assignment-specific stress inoculation training for highly specialized IT personnel is being introduced against the background of relevant stressors in the context of IT.
Anachronism as a means of critical pedagogy: Late medievalGerman verse narratives as tools of social, ethical,and spiritual investigations in matters of love
Authors:   The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, Classen Albrecht
Published: February 2024

Throughout time, love, sexuality, and marriage have mattered centrally in all of literature, and hence all of humanexistence. Although there seems to be an endless number of relevant guidebooks, counselors, and advisors who promise to help us navigate through the world of love, the real learning process in that regard begins within ourselves in direct confrontation with society or other individuals. Love is always dialogic. Late medieval (German)literature proves to be one of the most useful strategies in dealing with those powerful issues, perhaps surprisingly and certainly refreshingly. As this article illustrates through a close analysis of a sample of texts by three meaningful but also unusual poets, the study of those poems makes available a significant body of messages about human nature, and thus about virtues and vices. Love can hardly be imagined without some pain, struggle, and a sense of utopia, and these German poets, in close parallel with their European contemporaries, can thus be recognized as great inspirators for continuing the discourse on love even today.
Political theory and freedom of choices
Authors:   Singapore University of Social Sciences, Singapore, Singapore, Rappa Antonio L.
Published: February 2024

Can there be genuine freedom of choice? This paper takes into account competing versions of freedoms and liberties from the Western tradition. There are competing accounts because of the variegated approaches to understanding freedom. There are also various advantages and disadvantages to these varieties of conceptual freedom. If it were possible to place these on a linear scale, there are choices that lie on the right-wing and, at the other extreme, on the left-wing. These propagandist notions of freedom pose serious consequences for the actual choices offered as well as the choices that are eventually made. The paper examines the key arguments made by the most important philosophers of democracy and freedom in modernity. The paper questions whether anyone ought to bother about freedom in the first place. The paper concludes with the major articulations of freedom from both normative and positive political theory.
The Past and Future of Absorptive Capacity

Published: February 2024

“Absorptive capacity,” a widely studied construct in management research, remains underexplored in terms of its theoretical roots and development. In this curated collection, we present and analyze articles from the Academy of Management’s family of journals, shedding light on organizations’ abilities to recognize, assimilate, and apply external knowledge. We enhance our collective understanding of absorptive capacity by delineating four schools of thought that have been advanced through the articles in our collection. In addition to opportunities for further developing and integrating the ideas of the four schools of thought, we identify three themes for future research that span the schools and that also have the potential to leverage progress in this area of research. Building on the curated work, we explain opportunities for future research to tackle unresolved issues to offer insights regarding the roles of individuals and the microfoundations in the process and multidimensionality of absorptive capacity. We further explain the need to examine how advanced artificial intelligence may affect absorptive capacity, and call for future work to add to our understanding in this domain.

Las políticas sociales de dependencia en España contribuciones y consecuencias para los ancianos y sus cuidadores informales
Authors: Escuredo Rodríguez Bibiana
Published: February 2024

Se presenta la evolución de la protección social de la dependencia en España desde la década de los noventa hasta el momento actual y se plantean las consecuencias de la falta de acuerdo político respecto a las medidas a implementar. Se analizan los elementos en los que se basan las políticas de dependencia, resaltando sus aspectos positivos y negativos, así como las consecuencias para los ancianos y sus cuidadores informales. También se pone de manifiesto cómo, ante la posibilidad de quiebra del papel de la familia en el cuidado de los dependientes, se están implementando políticas que tienen como objetivo reforzar el rol cuidador de la familia y que se enmarcan dentro de la denominada "Conciliación de la Vida Familiar y Laboral". Estas políticas, más allá de sus contribuciones positivas, implican también importantes costes personales y de oportunidad para los cuidadores informales.

Published: February 2024

La tesis que se mantiene en este artículo es que un elemento para el análisis sociológico del mercado de trabajo es la subjetividad de los agentes de las relaciones laborales, tanto de los agentes de control -empresariado- como de los agentes controlados -asalariados-. comprender la construcción social de los agentes de las prácticas es un requisito imprescindible para analizar las estrategias de los agentes de las relaciones laborales. se trata de evidenciar que las nuevas configuraciones del mundo de la empresa y del trabajo no estan dadas, sino que dependen de la interacción de los agentes en un campo estratégico.

Effect of heat stress on meat quality: A review
Authors: Mia N , Rahman MM , Hahem MA
Published: February 2024

One of the stressful situations for livestock and poultry is heat stress (HS), which has a detrimental effect on animal physiology, production, and product quality. Because of their quick development and metabolism, high production, and species-specific characteristics including decreased sweating, the protective layer of skin, and rumen fermentation, some varieties of livestock are more vulnerable to heat stress than others. Muscle that is pale, soft and exudative (PSE) and lacks the ability to retain water can be produced by short-term heat stress that occurs pre-slaughter. This stress increases muscle glycogenolysis. In contrast, animals that experience prolonged heat stress have lower muscle glycogen reserves, which results in meat that is dark, firm, and dry (DFD), has a high final pH and water retention capacity. Moreover, HS causes shortened shelf life, oxidative stress. According to a recent study, HS might plausibly modify the rate and amount of postmortem muscle glycolysis and the resulting pH, which can impact the physiological and metabolic disturbances that occur in live animals as well as the features of carcasses and meat quality. This review reflects the effect of heat stress on meat quality.
