In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), kernel parameters are significant grain quality characteristics that affect yield and milling quality as well as market price. Utilization of synthetic hexaploid donor to harness the diverse alleles for broadening the genetic base is a novel breeding strategy of the bread wheat breeding programs across the globe. An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2017–18 and 2018–19 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to evaluate 188 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) which were derived from HD 2932 (Indian bread wheat cultivar) and Synthetic 46 (Syn 46: Synthetic hexaploid donor) to identify the effect of the synthetic hexaploid donor on kernel parameters. Kernel parameters like kernel length (KL), kernel width (KW), kernel thickness (KT) and thousand kernel weight (TKW) were studied. Syn 46 had larger kernels and a high TKW with respect to HD 2932. Significant variation for all the traits was observed in the population with transgressive segregants. In this RILs population (188) KL ranged from 5.13–7.5 mm, KW ranged of 2.26–3.9 mm, KT ranged from 2.57–3.41 mm, and of TKW ranged from 25.2–53.17 g. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation of TKW with KL and KT. Potential RILs identified with desirable allelic combinations may be used for future breeding programs, and RILs with contrasting kernel parameters may be used to create nested RILs for further generation of variability.

Published: October 2022

Авторами изучен генетический маркер C-174G гена IL-6, особенности распределения гена при функциональных запорах у детей. Наиболее редким генотипом оказался гомозиготный по аллелью C. В группе здоровых детей чаще, чем среди больных, встречался гомозиготный по аллелью C-генотип. Была показана положительная ассоциация генотипа GG (OR = 1,148) а также аллели G (OR = 1,096) с функциональными запорами. Наличие этих аллельных вариантов свидетельствует о повышенном риске развития функциональных запоров, вероятность дефекта в процессе замены гуанина (G) на цитозин (С) высокая.
Lower Bound Capacity of Strip Footings on Rock Masses with Two Discontinuity Sets
Authors: Prakoso Widjojo Adi
Published: October 2022

This paper presents a lower bound model for predicting the rock strip footing bearing capacity. The model is based on strip footings on rock masses with two sets of ubiquitous, closed discontinuities.  The model considers explicitly the strength of the intact rock and the discontinuities, as well as the number and orientation of the discontinuities.  The validation of the model is presented.  The parametric study of footings on rock masses with two discontinuity sets having the same strength is performed, and the results are reported graphically in detail. The bearing capacity is controlled primarily by the rock structures (number of discontinuity sets and orientation) and the discontinuity strength, and it is controlled by the intact rock strength for a very limited number of cases.  The minimum bearing capacity factor is independent of the intact rock friction angle, but it is a linear function of discontinuity cohesion.  The bearing capacity factor is also presented in terms of its ratio to UCS; the ratio for the maximum bearing capacity is rather insignificantly affected by intact rock friction angle, and not linearly correlated to discontinuity cohesion.  The bearing capacity factor for rock masses with low discontinuity strengths tends to be more sensitive to any variation in discontinuity orientation. There are some exceptions to the above points, suggesting that there would always be some rock mass conditions leading to unexpected rock footing bearing capacities and therefore good characterization processes of rock masses would always be essential.  The practical significant of this study is briefly discussed.
The Effect of Wood Charcoal Powder and Pumice Powder on The Parameters of Shear Strength of Clay Soil
Authors: Raisya Fithria  , Kusumastuti Dyah Pratiwi
Published: October 2022

Soil as a foundation must have sufficient bearing capacity when receiving the load acting on it. However, not all soil types have these characteristics, especially soft clay. The problems encountered in soft clay for construction are generally large settlements and low bearing capacity. Overcoming the problem of lack of bearing capacity in soft clay can be done with improvements. A simple improvement is done by the chemical stabilization method. Chemical stabilization is carried out by mixing soft clay and other materials such as pumice powder and wood charcoal powder. Variations in the addition of these materials in the study were 2% and 4% pumice powder and 15%, 20%, and 25% wood charcoal powder. Based on the test results, it was found that the increase in pumice powder and wood charcoal powder caused changes in physical and mechanical parameters in the soil sample. For physical parameters due to the addition of pumice powder and wood charcoal powder, the water content and liquid limit values ​​decreased, while the specific gravity values, plastic limits, and shrinkage limits in the soil samples increased compared to the original soil samples. Meanwhile, the mechanical parameters in terms of the unconfined compressive strength test, due to the addition of pumice powder and wood charcoal powder caused the value of the unconfined compressive strength (qu) and the undrained shear strength (su) to increase. The biggest change in the parameters of the unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength of the soil sample was found in the addition of 4% pumice powder and 25% wood charcoal powder with an increase of 15.58% compared to the original soil sample.

OBJECTIVE: Verify relationships between the prevalence of CD, Human Development Index (HDI), the production and consumption of açaí in Pará, Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with secondary data on CD prevalence collected on the platform of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), notified in the period from 2007 to 2018. Data on HDI, local production and consumption of açaí, were obtained from the website and the Agricultural Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), respectively. Comparisons of the number of cases, HDI and local açaí consumption were performed using Spearman's correlation, while the evolution of annual production was verified by analysis of variance. Correlations with a p-value <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: There was no significant correlation between the number of cases of Chagas disease among the municipalities according to the HDI (p = 0.2000). However, there was an increase in the annual production of açaí (X2 = 40.25; p = 0.0001) and a significant correlation between local consumption of açaí and the prevalence of chagas disease (p = 0.003), although without statistical significance in the correlation between açaí production and oral transmission (p = 0.087). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of CD was associated with local consumption of açaí, but not by oral transmission or influenced by the HDI, in a non-causal way. The increase in annual production concerns about the increase in the prevalence of CD in the state of Pará.

OBJECTIVE: This study presents reflections from a psychoanalytic point of view about real and symbolic grief in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A qualitative approach was adopted with an exploratory objective to review the literature, with the aim of updating the discussion in psychoanalytic studies about the phenomenon of grief in the pandemic period. RESULTS: The publications found still present an embryonic view of the facts, however, despite this, it was possible for us to shed light on the psychic implications arising from absences, especially of funeral rituals, making difficult the libidinal disinvestment in a given object, so that the ego can seek other objects of desire. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of this study points to the need for further research, considering that the implications of a psychic order will only be perceived and, probably, clarified in a few years' time. However, it is possible to anticipate that a significant part of the population, faced with losses and the impossibility of experiencing the farewell ritual, has been overwhelmed by discouragement. The risk is, then, in the death of desire.

Indonesia is a country located between three tectonic plates, namely Eurasia, the Pacific and Indo-Australia, which is one of the active plates, so that there is the potential for earthquakes, which are sometimes followed by tsunami disasters. The latest accurate, precise, and trusted earthquake information is needed by all parties. For this reason, a system is needed to inform the latest earthquake so that the impact can be minimized. Departing from open data published by BMKG, which is an earthquake in real time, a push notification system for earthquake information was designed to the Android application using Google Firebase. Push notifications are adjusted for specific areas based on user wishes. When the user is in the vicinity of an earthquake-affected or surrounding area, or the location of an earthquake is in a city that is monitored by the user, the notifications that appear can be alerts. Whereas when the user is in a location that is not affected by an earthquake, the notification that appears is only as information that there is an earthquake in a certain area. After analyzing, designing, implementing and testing using the black box testing method, push notification system functionally produces results that are as expected.

Contribution of Agriculture to Climate Change and Low-Emission Agricultural Development in Asia and the Pacific
Authors: Aryal Jeetendra Prakash
Published: October 2022

The agriculture sector in Asia and the Pacific region contributes massively to climate change, as the region has the largest share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. The region is the largest producer of rice, a major source of methane emissions. Further, to achieve food security for the increasing population, there has been a massive increase in the use of synthetic fertilizer and energy in agricultural production in the region over the last few decades. This has led to an enormous rise in nitrous oxide (N2O; mostly from fertilizer-N use) and carbon dioxide (mostly from energy use for irrigation) emissions from agriculture. Besides this, a substantial increase in livestock production for meat and dairy products has increased methane emissions, along with other environmental problems. In this context, this study conducts a systematic review of strategies that can reduce emissions from the agriculture sector using a multidimensional approach, looking at supply-side, demand-side, and cross-cutting measures. The review found that though there are huge potentials to reduce GHG emissions from agriculture, significant challenges exist in monitoring and verification of GHG emissions from supply-side measures, shifting to sustainable consumption behavior with regard to food consumption and use, and the design and implementation of regulatory and incentive mechanisms. On the supply side, policies should focus on the upscaling of climate-smart agriculture primarily through expanding knowledge and improving input use efficiency in agriculture, while on the demand side, there is a need to launch a drive to reduce food loss and waste and also to move towards sustainable consumption. Therefore, appropriate integration of policies at multiple levels, as well as application of multiple measures simultaneously, can increase mitigation potential as desired by the Paris Agreement and also help to achieve several of the United Nations’ SDGs.

ESTIMATION OF PROTEIN METABOLITES DURING POSTHARVEST SHELF LIFE OF TITHONIA ROTUNDIFOLIA BLAKE
Authors: Patel Ruby , Mankad Archana
Published: October 2022

Senescence has a specialized meaning in plant biology, which is part of a cloud of terms mentioning generally to the process or condition of growing old. Many physiological changes takes place during senescence like Chlorophyll degradation; change in pigmentation; decrease the starch content, RNA and protein; DNA molecules are degraded by the enzyme DNase; growth promoting hormones such as cytokinin decrease; the deteriorative hormones such as ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) content are increases. Post harvest shelf life of cut flower is dependent on the water balance, level and supply of carbohydrates and susceptibility towards growth retarding hormone like ethylene   which leads to senescence. Beside carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism is also known to be associated with the senescence process and programmed cell death (PCD). During senescence degradation of protein may occur and make free amino acids. Proteins play important role during senescence. During present study it was observed that the total protein content decreased during course of time under cut conditions of flower. This may be due to less reserve in cut condition.

Published: October 2022

This study is an exploratory study for establishing job domain and specific job factor, which is the job scope of general security guards under the Security Business Act and it suggests basic guideline for clear guiding of general guards. In addition, the purpose of the Security Business Act is to clarify the limit of the work of general security guards and to provide the rationale of the authority basis to ensure smooth execution of security work.
Delphi technique, which focuses on the experts on security affairs, aims to establish the job scope of general security guards and to establish objective and reasonable job scope rather than subjective interpretation by setting specific job contents classified by universally validated areas .
As a result of this study, the general security guards' job scope in the Security Business Act is focusing on occupational security services, convoy security services, personal protection services, and machine security services.
First of all, the most important job in the area of facility security service is 'security zone residence and patrol', which is the basic basis for detecting and responding to illegal intrusions and countermeasures against risk factors, focusing on the facilities to be expended. Based on this, access control, risk detection, and disaster management should be performed. In relation to visitors, parking management and civil service should be integrated.
In the case of the convoy security service, vulnerabilities at the starting point and the destination are the largest, and immediate countermeasures should be taken when capturing the boundary and danger signs. In addition, it is necessary to establish organic step-by-step security guideline before and after the convoy security, confirm it and maintain the communication system with the base station.
In the field of personal protection work, 'hazard access control' and 'contingency response' were the most important job factors. In order to secure the safety of the security guard, it is necessary to recognize the access control of the threat to the security guard as a central job through pre-planned work because both the prevention action and the immediate post reaction are important.
The mechanical security work was guided by general security guards and urgent dispatch. This has an organic relationship with the facility control and it is necessary to make a directive report on the situation and appropriate emergency response through communication system with the base station.

Consciência, subjetividade e o problema do inconsciente na filosofia da mente de John Searle
Authors: Prata Tárik de Athayde
Published: October 2022

Resumo: John R. Searle articulou uma filosofia da mente de acordo com a qual a consciência é o mais importante dos fenômenos mentais, sendo essencialmente caracterizada por uma subjetividade de seu modo de existência. O problema é que a existência de fenômenos mentais inconscientes coloca essa concepção em dificuldades, pois fenômenos inconscientes existem sem serem vivenciados, ou seja, existem de forma objetiva. Para escapar desse problema, Searle propõe uma teoria disposicional do inconsciente, mas a tese do presente trabalho é que, ao aceitar a possibilidade de causação mental inconsciente, Searle está comprometido com a existência de propriedades mentais genuínas, mas independentes da consciência, de modo que sua tese da subjetividade ontológica da mente desmorona.
O elemento deontológico da moral agostiniana: um estudo do conceito de verdade
Authors: Vahl Matheus Jeske
Published: October 2022

RESUMO: Na reflexão que desenvolve nos textos do primeiro decênio de sua obra Agostinho mantém um princípio teleológico forte, a saber, que o grande motivo que leva o homem a filosofar e buscar a compreensão da Verdade é o desejo de ser feliz, isto é, encontrar a Beatitude que ele identifica com a condição de estar plenamente em Deus, fim último a ser buscado pelo homem. Este fim só é atingido por quem compreende a Verdade com a reta razão e vive a virtude com reta vontade. Trata-se de um processo cognitivo e volitivo onde a ação humana precisa estar em conformidade com uma realidade transcendente, exterior à natureza criada, que lhe está na condição de um mandato de ação. Neste ponto percebemos a presença de um elemento deontológico forte já nesta fase de seu pensamento, o qual não esvazia sua ampla reflexão acerca da liberdade humana, mas a situa no contexto da teodiceia que justifica sua moral religiosa.
Feminino, sexualidade e intelecção:
Authors: Santos Evaniel Brás dos , Almeida Tiago Costa
Published: October 2022

Resumo: O presente estudo investiga de modo introdutório como se articulam as noções de feminino, sexualidade e intelecção em Tomás de Aquino e Christine de Pizan. Buscamos entender, aqui, se, para os autores, a sexualidade humana possui alguma função na operação que apreende o inteligível, quer dizer, investigamos se a característica normal, material e natural de determinado corpo humano em possuir estes ou aqueles órgãos naturais têm influência na operação intelectual. Nesta investigação, ademais, nos concentramos na tese afirmada por Tomás segundo a qual a potência intelectual humana do animal fêmea é inferior à potência intelectual do animal macho e, isso, simplesmente porque o animal fêmea é fêmea, uma tese totalmente arbitrária e inconsistente, se lida a partir de noção de feminino de Christine. Para cumprir com o objetivo, o texto possui três seções. Na primeira, apresentamos a tese de Christine segundo a qual a fêmea humana é perfeita por natureza. Na segunda, por sua vez, analisamos a tese tomista segundo a qual não há uma mecânica própria para a geração da fêmea vivípara. Na terceira, enfim, investigamos os fundamentos da asserção tomista sobre a deficiência da intelecção feminina.
Res occultas: Lucrécio e o invisível
Authors: Marco Antonio Valentim
Published: October 2022

O ensaio trata do problema da invisibilidade da matéria e do vazio em Dererum natura Como é possível a Lucrécio sustentar, por um lado, que o ânimo ématerial e que o conhecimento é sensível, e, por outro, que os primórdios dascoisas, bem como o vazio e os simulacros dos corpos, são invisíveis e, no limite,inacessíveis aos sentidos? O problema é desenvolvido mediante um comentário aotexto de Lucrécio que retoma criticamente a interpretação de Deleuze em Lógica dosentido com foco na relação entre o caráter oculto da natureza e a diferença develocidade entre, de um lado, sentidos e pe nsamento e, de outro, simulacros ecorpos. A partir disso, o ensaio tira conclusões a respeito da natureza do discurso deLucrécio sobre a natureza das coisas.
Guilherme de Ockham e o Ensino de Filosofia
Authors: Willian Saraiva Borges  , Cleber Duarte Coelho
Published: October 2022

Este artigo objetiva sustentar a hipótese de que sob o procedimento metodológico-filosófico assumido por Guilherme de Ockham em suas Oito questões, subjaz, de forma velada, uma possível metodologia de ensino de Filosofia, a qual poderia representar uma significativa diretriz frente às atuais discussões concernentes ao ensino de Filosofia na Educação Básica. Nesse sentido, buscaremos estabelecer algumas aproximações, ainda que breves, entre o pensamento de Ockham e a nova Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), homologada em 2018, sobretudo no que se refere às competências a serem desenvolvidas, no Ensino Médio, na área de Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas.
Santo Agostinho: místico ou um intelectual platônico-cristão?
Authors: Antonio Pereira Júnior
Published: October 2022

A mística é um fenômeno presente em quase todas as grandes religiõesdo mundo. No cristianismo, esta manifestação pode ser notada já nos textosSagrados do Novo Testamento: desde os relatos que envolveram os eventos da vidade Jesus às visões escatológicas de João no livro do Apocalipse. Posteriormente,podemos en contrar registros de misticidade no grande movimento dos Pais da Igrejaconhecido como Patrística, se estendendo por toda Idade Média, até alcançar osdias de hoje. Todavia, alguns pesquisadores da antiguidade tardia, procuraramenquadrar o grande nome da Patrística, Santo Agostinho, como o pai da místicacatólica. Outrossim, Agostinho é sumamente conhecido como um grande teólogo,filósofo ou mesmo como um gênio intelectual platônico cristão investigador daVerdade; sendo, porém, bastante diminuto, o número de pesquisadores que sepropõe a verificar se, de fato, há ou não razões, para que ele seja contado entre osgrandes místicos da Igreja. O presente ensaio traz à tona esta polêmica discussão,com o intuito de elucidar o problema que ora se levanta: podemo s considerar SantoAgostinho um místico ou apenas um grande nome da filosofia/teologia cristã? Istoposto, para responder a referida questão problema, nos propomos investigar osprincipais acontecimentos da vida de Agostinho, bem como, os principais textos desua obra, a fim de comprovar algum resquício de misticidade, seja em sua vida oumesmo em suas investigações acerca da Verdade.
João Escoto Erígena, Periphyseon ou A divisão da natureza; tradução inédita e notas P. Calixto, a partir dos excertos da edição latina de Edouard Jeauneau, Turnholt, Brepols, 1996.
Authors: Pedro Calixto Ferreira Filho  , Uellinton Valentim Corsi
Published: October 2022

O objetivo que o autor persegue nesta obra é a apreensão e a explicação das diferentes modalidades da natureza, bem como as suas interdependências respectivas. Para isso, ele desenvolve um sistema filosófico original, fundamentado sobre a tríade neoplatônica: imanência, processão e retorno. A natureza, enquanto conceito universal englobando Deus e a criatura, é concebida a partir de um duplo movimento: de saída, o mundo é auto-manifestação de Deus; de retorno, o processo criacional tende a reunificação de todas as coisas em Deus. A noção de nada exerce uma função essencial nessa perspectiva, pois os primeiros exercícios dialéticos do Periphyseon, essenciais ao sistema filosófico erigeniano, estabelece como divisão fundadora da natureza ou Physis (o conceito de maxima extensio), a divisão que intervém entre o ser e o não-ser.
Higher Education 2030: From Future Skills in Higher Education to the Future Skills of Higher Education Managers
Authors:   Hochschule Macromedia, Kolo Castulus , Masur Ute , Emre Merle , Kreulich Klaus
Published: October 2022

On December 9, 2020, we continued the discussion on the future of higher education during the virtual open symposium “Higher Education 2030”. The focus was on drivers and effects of longer-term change with respect to (1) teaching and didactics, (2) institutions in the higher education value creation network as well as (3) national education systems and international schemes (including the interrelations of these three levels). In the resulting publication, we highlight the results of this discussion of distinguished guests from industry and academia from Europe and beyond. One of the key questions for incumbent as well as new institutions in higher education – whether private or public – is, how to prepare for the dynamically evolving times ahead. The symposium concluded that managing higher education cannot continue unchanged. Therefore, we embarked next on the topic of “From Future Skills in Higher Education to the Future Skills of Higher Education Managers.” For an initial workshop on May 14, 2021, we reached out to experts from different world regions as well as higher education providers. The aim was to outline the challenges and the necessary competencies as well as the knowledge and methodologies needed to succeed in the changing context of higher education. The results will address an urgent and important need of preparing for a future – even more uncertain in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, that was also touched upon as a driver itself and an accelerator to other trends respectively. Based on the ideas collected in the workshop, the initiative “Higher Education 2030” shall continue working on further publications. In addition, it shall also inform the preparation of master level certificates that eventually lead to an International Higher Education MBA. “Higher education” will henceforth also be abbreviated as “HE”.
