The goal in this study was to evaluate the production of sheep and forage silvopastoral systems (SPSs) with cashew trees, compared to the production on grass monoculture. The treatments consisted of three grazing systems: one Massai grass monoculture (Panicum maximum cv Massai) (MONO), and two SPSs: intercrop of Massai grass + cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) (SM) and intercrop of grass- Massai grass + Estilosantes Campo Grande (Stylosanthes capitata × S. macrocephala) + cashew tree (SME), in a completely randomized split plot design with four replications. The photosynthetically active radiation varied from 45 to 59% in SPSs, the presence of cashew trees created a microenvironment with lower temperatures and higher relative humidity throughout the day. Forage mass in the monoculture and in the SPSs was on average 2,116.65 kg dry matter (DM). ha-1; the participation of the legume in the forage mass was 44%. Greater stocking rate was found in the monoculture, however the gain per area was higher in the SME. In the SPSs, crude protein content of the grass increased by 46.2%, and there was a higher forage intake and weight gain of sheep, mainly in the system with legume. The silvopastoral system with cashew trees, Massai grass, estilosantes and sheep is feasible to optimize land use, with better gain per animal and area in relation to grass monoculture.
Editorial – Virtual wards: A key concept that require careful evaluation to ensure successful in real world
Authors:   Consultant in Acute Medicine, Manchester University Foundation Trust and The Christie, Manchester, UK, Cooksley Tim
Published: January 2022

Urgent and emergency care services remain under huge pressures with concerns regarding overcrowding, delays in patient care and exhausted staff with increasing unsustainable workforce pressures. Short term mitigation measures are needed alongside the imperative need to ensure long-term innovative and sustainable measures to ensure that the NHS can deliver high quality acute and emergency care. Virtual wards are an innovation that have the potential to support acute care and reduce pressures in the long term. Increasing availability and utility of telemedicine services mean it may be possible to observe and manage patients in their own home supported with technological innovations that will enable monitoring of a person’s vital signs and blood tests that currently are performed in a hospital setting. The implementation of virtual wards requires careful clinical and operational implementation. It is important that those with clinical expertise in the field, such as those working in Acute Medicine and Primary Care, are at the forefront of this work to ensure it delivers its potential impacts. In this edition of Acute Medicine, Gallier et al. assess both patient outcomes and the workforce requirements of a COVID virtual ward.1 Their retrospective study reported that approximately 25% of patients with COVID19 within the first 24 hours of hospital presentation met NHS England criteria for consideration of virtual ward management. Virtual wards, in the short-term, will be resource intense. The workforce pressures of virtual wards are likely to be under-estimated and this could lead to a risk to both the success of the implementation and more importantly patient safety. To deliver a COVID virtual ward telephone line require staffing for at least 12 hours a day, seven days a week, with locally arranged provision of out of hours cover. These staff should be supervised by an experienced, clinically registered professional who is also responsible for making the proactive daily calls – a “virtual ward round”. It is also important to identify patients that will benefit from being managed on virtual wards and not simply creating work that does not ultimately reduce the pressure on the system. Gallier et al. compared COVID patients discharged within 24 hours with and without the support of a virtual ward. They found no difference in key outcomes such as hospital readmission, subsequent ITU admissions and death for those managed on a virtual ward.1 Virtual wards are a potentially important innovation to support urgent and emergency care. It is essential they are appropriately planned, resourced and importantly staffed. They should not be seen as a short-term mitigation measure and incorrect implementation with inadequate evaluation could significantly impact clinician and patient confidence. It is essential this does not happen.

A COVID virtual ward (CVW) is recommended by NHS England, but ‘usual care’ outcomes have not been reported. A retrospective study of all adults with COVID-19 attending Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham between 01/06/2020-31/01/2021, assessed against CVW criteria and followed for 28 days. Of 2301 COVID-19 patients, 571(25%) would have met CVW criteria. Of these, 325(57%) were discharged after review and 246(43%) admitted. Of admitted patients who met CVW criteria, 81% required hospital-supported therapies; 11% died. Of the 325 discharged, 13% re-presented, 9% with COVID-related symptoms, 2% required intensive care admission, and one died (0.3%). In this comparison, discharging patients without a CVW did not lead to more re-presentations, re-admissions, ITU escalations or deaths compared to published outcomes for hospitals with a CVW.

Published: January 2022

A 73-year-old female patient with epilepsy presented to hospital with a progressive, diffuse macular rash over the trunk and limbs with associated mucosal blistering and discharge. Ocular symptoms initially predominated and she was treated for presumed bacterial conjunctivitis by her General Practitioner the previous day. On the acute medical unit supportive management was initiated for suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) to a recent lamotrigine dose increase. Skin biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of toxic epidermal necrolysis. We present this case to highlight the importance of medication history taking and raise awareness of indolent presentations of life-threatening ADRs. Caution should be applied following dose changes to anti-epileptics, even if previously stable.

Carfilzomib has shown excellent outcomes for relapsed Multiple Myeloma. There have been increasing reports on cardiovascular adverse events. However, reports on severe pulmonary adverse events are rare. Our patient was a 79-year-old female, undergoing fourth-line therapy with Carfilzomib. At 24h after first administration, the patient was admitted to the emergency room complaining of dyspnoea. After a full recovery, the patient was re-evaluated. Since echocardiography showed normal cardiac function, Carfilzomib was re-initiated. At 24h after administration, the patient was re-admitted to the emergency room with severe dyspnoea, meeting criteria for ARDS. Despite mechanical ventilation, the patient developed cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. Although patients might fully recover from a first episode of Carfilzomib-induced pulmonary toxicity, re-initiation of Carfilzomib is not recommended.

Published: January 2022

A 63-year-old female with cardiovascular risk factors presented with tremor, sweating, lower back discomfort, nausea and dyspnoea. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia with lateral ST-depression. High-sensitivity troponin-T was dynamically elevated (72ng/L to 112ng/L on one-hour repeat). Overnight, there was an episode of ventricular tachycardia with further troponin rise to 364ng/L. Coronary angiogram demonstrated non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Post-procedure, the patient developed a hypertensive crisis with pulmonary oedema (invasive blood pressure 350/140mmHg). This was managed with intravenous phentolamine. Ondansetron and metoclopramide were given for intractable vomiting. A pheochromocytoma was subsequently confirmed and surgically excised. Our experience in this case generated several important learning points that we hope may be of benefit to others who encounter suspected pheochromocytomas on the acute medical take.

Authors: Aguilera Becerra Astrid Maribel , Higuera Blanco Jeymi Patricia , Univio Munevar Eileen Oriana
Published: January 2022

Objective: The purpose of this literature review is to know the different phytopathogenic fungi present in these two types of environments, and the factors involved in their presence or absence.
Materials and methods: For the construction of this article, a bibliographic search was carried out in the following databases: Pubmed, Science direct, Google scholar, Scielo and NCBI in English and Spanish, using the following descriptors: Fungi, Aquatic microorganisms, and Fungi in soil.
Results: In this bibliographic review, the presence of Aspergillus sp, Fusarium sp, Mucor sp, Penicillium sp, Alternaria sp, Trichoderma sp, Blastomyces sp, Geotrichum sp, etc. was found in most of the aquatic environments. In addition, in terrestrial environments, fungi of the genus Rhizopus sp, Fusarium sp, Beauveria sp, Absidia sp, Mucor sp, Aspergillus sp, Penicillium sp, Paecilomyces sp, etc. were found. Likewise, we investigated the factors that determine the concentration and diversity in aquatic and terrestrial environments, in all types of fungi. In aquatic environments, these are: temperature, rainfall, water velocity, nutrient status, anthropogenic impact and abundance of decomposing matter. On the other hand, in terrestrial environments, we find: pH, anthropogenic impact, and the presence of pollutants. Conclusion: In the case of fungi in fresh water, the genus Aspergillus sp was the most representative, while in the terrestrial environment the genus Fusarium sp, and Rhizopus sp, were the most predominant with their appearance in most of the studies cited in this review.
Research challenges on the interaction between exercise and nutrition
Authors: González Gross Marcela
Published: January 2022

The increase in life expectancy and non-communicable chronic diseases (obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, depression, among other) have led to both Sports and Nutrition Sciences gaining importance in research and in Public Health. But the lack of connection and collaboration between these areas has caused most scientific studies to analyze these aspects separately. The current state of scientific knowledge seems to indicate that it is reasonable to address them jointly, although new questions clearly arise in the combination of both. The combined effect between nutrients and physiological stimuli of training loads are not the same in all people, since there is an individualized response motivated by genetic and epigenetic aspects. Therefore, we must be able to identify responders and non-responders to nutritional and exercise interventions. Among the many challenges that arise today, we find the complexity of the energy balance, for many years misunderstood as a mathematical equation; the effect that physical activity or its absence has on habits and nutritional status; sarcopenia and osteoporosis; sarcopenic obesity; microbiota; cognitive impairment; and mortality.

Published: January 2022

Por meio de estudo documental, a pesquisa objetivou identificar situações de preconceito de classe social em textos e imagens de livros didáticos aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) para o 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Tomou por base o aporte da Epistemologia Genética, em especial o estudo da construção moral e considerou o preconceito como resultante de relações interdependentes entre os domínios cognitivo, social e afetivo.  Identificou situações reforçadoras do preconceito de classe social relacionados à cor de pele, etnia, acesso à informação, lazer e arte, ambientes sociais frequentados, tipos de trabalho ou profissão, estereótipos históricos e comportamentais. A exemplo, os personagens ricos, cultos e de pele branca, foram retratados frequentando ambientes de lazer, cultura, esporte e informação. Os personagens em situação de pobreza foram retratados com pele preta, em profissões de prestação de serviço e/ou subempregos, ou em temáticas relacionadas à escravidão. Compreende-se que o material analisado se configura como ideológico e reforçador de preconceito de classe social prejudicando a promoção de relações de equidade e desenvolvimento do valor moral do respeito, no contexto escolar.

LECTURA, DIAGNÓSTICO Y RECOMENDACIONES PARA LA PLAZOLETA DEL CONVENTO SAN BERNARDO Y SUS ALREDEDORES. CIUDAD DE SALTA
Authors: Pellegrini Leonardo
Published: January 2022

El espacio urbano constituido por la plazoleta de acceso al Convento y Capilla de San Bernardo es uno de los “hitos” urbanos más importantes del área centro de la ciudad de Salta. Su preeminencia está dada por su relevancia turística, por sus características históricas, y por sus particulares cualidades espaciales en torno al área céntrica de la ciudad. Este espacio funciona como el remate de un eje que parte desde el lado lateral sur de la Plaza 9 de Julio; donde se encuentra el Cabildo Histórico; una cuadra más adelante aparece otro espacio urbano de relevancia como es el de la Iglesia de San Francisco. Este eje no solo encuentra su punto focal en el Convento, sino que éste último es enmarcado por el cerro San Bernardo como telón de fondo.

Así en este trabajo se describen los caracteres morfológicos y espaciales del área correspondiente al Convento San Bernardo y sus alrededores, considerando tres escalas de abordaje: escala de conjunto urbano, escala de sector vecinal, escala objetual. Posteriormente, se identifican los rasgos distintivos y particularidades del monumento, su espacio circundante y su rol en la construcción de la imagen de la ciudad y del significado del espacio del centro histórico. En base a lo analizado, se realiza un diagnóstico puntualizando las fortalezas y debilidades del sector. Finalmente, se recomiendan acciones tendientes a potenciar y preservar lo existente y desarrollando el sitio de estudio con el fin de lograr su máximo potencial expresivo y generativo.

El emplazamiento fue seleccionado por sus caracteres atípicos dentro del tejido urbano del área centro de la ciudad, por su relevancia como monumento histórico, por el significado como forma-espacio signo que cualifica, irradia y carga de sentidos al centro histórico, colaborando a la construcción del relato urbano.

Antidepressant safe use, deprescription and switching guideline
Authors:   Servicio de Asesoría e Información del Medicamento. Servicio Navarro de Salud - Osasunbidea, Goñi Oihane
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCCIÓN El consumo de antidepresivos se ha incrementado en los últimos años. Ante la ausencia de evidencia sobre diferencias de eficacia entre los diferentes antidepresivos, es importante conocer el perfil de seguridad para poder hacer un uso seguro de los mismos. Habitualmente el tratamiento antidepresivo se prolonga en exceso en el tiempo, en parte por la ausencia de pautas concretas de deprescripción. Conocer los métodos de intercambio entre antidepresivos, así como los métodos más adecuados de deprescripción puede ayudar a optimizar la farmacoterapia de la depresión. OBJETIVOS Establecer pautas adecuadas de prescripción, cambio, uso y deprescripción de los antidepresivos. MÉTODOS Se realizó una búsqueda en guías de práctica clínica, revisiones sistemáticas y boletines para recopilar la evidencia disponible en cuanto a uso adecuado y deprescripción de antidepresivos. Se utilizó la base de datos de dispensación de recetas del Servicio Navarro de Salud-Osasunbidea (SNS-O) para obtener datos acerca del consumo de antidepresivos en Navarra. CONCLUSIONES En el abordaje del tratamiento de la depresión es necesario plantearse en primer lugar la verdadera necesidad de prescribir un fármaco antidepresivo ante situaciones en las que quizá no esté realmente indicado. En segundo lugar, es necesario considerar las características y comorbilidades del paciente a la hora de seleccionar el fármaco más adecuado. Considerar que la terapia debe optimizarse antes de añadir un nuevo fármaco aumentando la dosis, esperando el tiempo suficiente y valorando el cambio a otro antidepresivo. Por último, el tratamiento debe reevaluarse de forma periódica teniendo en cuenta que no se trata de un tratamiento de por vida y que debe valorarse la retirada del fármaco de manera gradual y consensuada con el paciente para aumentar las probabilidades de una retirada exitosa.

Published: January 2022

A field experiment was conducted during 2015-2017 at CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur, India to calculate agro-meteorological indices and to study the duration of different phenological phases of damask rose (Rosa damascena) varieties under mid hills of western Himalayas. Agro-meteorological indices were computed for two damask rose varieties Himroz and Jwalaat different pruning time from October 30 to January 15 at fifteen days’ interval. The results indicated that the number of days required forattaining each phenological stage, decreased with delay in pruning time. Variation in different phenological stages of damask rose varieties were observed. Higher GDD, PTU and HTU were accounted by Jwala as compared to Himroz during all the phenophases of R. damascena. Plants pruned on January 15 (late pruning) required lesser GDD, PTU as well as HTU, while plants pruned on October 30 (early pruning) accumulated higher GDD, PTU and HTU during crop growth period. The results showedthat agro-meteorological indices play a vital role in the productivity of R. damascenacrop.

Published: January 2022

Field experiments were conducted on green gram during spring-summer seasons of 2011 and 2012 with four dates of sowing and five varieties arranged in a strip-plot design to study the aerodynamic characteristics of green gram at BCKV, Kalyani, West Bengal. Micro-cup anemometers were placed at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 m above the crop canopy on a wooden mast. The zero-plane displacement (d), roughness length (Z0) and drag coefficient (Cd) were found to increase with crop age but the effect of dates of sowing was not prominent except at the final stage of growth. For a LAI value of 1.5, “d” values was 0.254 m and the “Cd” value was 0.015. Both the “Cd” and “d” increased with plant height and LAI. The “d” and “Z0” had significant positive correlation with the total dry matter and crop growth rate irrespective of dates of sowing.
Effect of weather parameters on the seasonal dynamics of tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in castor in Telangana State
Authors: P. DURAIMURUGAN
Published: January 2022

Field experiments were carried out for four years (2012-13 to 2015-16) to study the seasonal dynamics of tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura in castor and its relationship with different weather parameters during kharif season in Telangana State. Moth catches of S. litura were observed throughout the crop season, wherein maximum catches (44.8 to 124 moths/trap/week) were observed during mid- August to late-October [33rd to 43rd Standard Meteorological Week (SMW)]. Peak oviposition (2.0 to 14.8egg-masses/5 plants) and larval incidence (14.4 to 48 larvae/5 plants) of S. liturawas recorded during mid-August to mid-November (33rd to 46th SMW) coinciding with the vegetative to primary spike development stage of the crop. The correlation analysis indicated that the moth catches and larval population of S. litura showed significant positive correlation with weather parameters viz., maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall and rainy days, while egg-masses of S. litura showed significant negative correlation with morning relative humidity and minimum temperature.The stepwise regression analysis revealed that minimum temperature, rainy days, wind speed and evening relative humidity could explain 64 per cent variation in S. litura moth catches. Among all the variables morning relative humidity was found to contribute significantly and showed 59 per cent effect on the population fluctuation of eggmasses, while rainy days and maximum temperature could explain 51 per cent variation in larval population of S. litura in castor.The models were validated with independent data 2015-16. The overall results suggested that the models can be used for predicting the population of S. litura in castor for optimizing management strategies.

Published: January 2022

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season, 2016 at Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh to validate CROPGRO- Soybean model for variety JS 20-29 and assess its productivity under future climate change scenarios. Genetic coefficients were generated and evaluated using two-year (2014 and 2015) datasets and validated with 2016 experimental data under different dates of sowing. A good agreement between observed and simulated seed yield (D=0.75, RMSE = 239.2) and biological yield (D = 0.83, RMSE = 391.8) was obtained. The climate change projection scenario of RCP 2.6 and 8.5 were used to assess its impact on seed yield in different districts of Madhya Pradesh. An increase in seed yield from baseline under RCP 2.6 pathway was simulated in all the districts whereas under RCP 8.5 pathway, marginal decline in seed yield was simulated by 2020. By 2050, however, a decline in seed yield was simulated under both RCP pathways, which may be due to increase in the rate of greenhouse gas emissions.
Suitability analysis for optimum network of agrometeorological stations: A case study of Visayas region, Philippines
Authors: LANIE A. ALEJO
Published: January 2022

An attempt has been made to identify the most suitable sites for agrometeorological stations in Visayas region of Philippines and to determine the barriers in achieving optimum network of stations. Suitability criteria have been used based on the World Meteorological Organization guidelines on establishing agrometeorological stations. The criteria include slope, landuse/landcover, road accessibility, locations from water bodies, coastlines and possible collaborating institutions. Suitability indices for each factor were developed. A geographic information system (GIS) modeling and mapping framework has been presented to serve as a guide to a cost-effective augmented network of agrometeorological stations. The technique can also be adapted to site the best locations for agrometeorological stations in other areas in the Philippines and in other countries. There are 11 suitable stations identified which is 94 per cent less than the optimum number of stations in the study area. Based on the study, the barriers in achieving the optimum number of stations were the unavailability of host institutions, water bodies, and inadequate road infrastructures.In archipelagic and developing countries, funding and policymaking is a challenge in addressing these barriers.

Çalışma öncelikle iklim kurgunun kavram olarak ne anlama geldiği, diğer türlerle ilişkisi, sınırları ve çeşitliliğine odaklanmış ve bu türe mal edilen izleklerden hareketle Kurbağa Adası ve Köpekli Çocuklar Gecesi’ni karşılaştırmalı bir bakış açısıyla irdelemiştir. İklim kurgu eserleri, iklim değişikliği ve küresel ısınmanın sonuçlarını gözler önüne sererken yakın geleceğe yönelik çıkarımlarda bulunmaktadır. Selim Erdoğan’ın Kurbağa Adası isimli eseri İstanbul’dan hareketle konuya dikkat çekerken; Oya Baydar Köpekli Çocuklar Gecesi’nde aynı işlevi küresel ölçekte gerçekleştirir. Eserlerin 2019 yılında kaleme alınmış olması da bakış açıları noktasında öne çıkan bir işaret olarak değerlendirilebilir. Amacımız, bu romanlarda iklim değişikliğinin nasıl çerçevelendiğini keşfetmek, iklim değişikliğini yaşanmış bir deneyim olarak tanımlamak için şablonlar sağlayan temaları araştırmak ve geleceğin senaryolarının altında yatan beklentileri belirlemek ve anlamaktır.

Education pour la paix: influence du style de communication des enseignants dans les relations que les élèves du primaire créent entre eux
Authors: Ana García Díaz
Published: January 2022

En établissant une comparaison entre les compétences d'autorégulation que les élèves développent dans le primaire démocratique, l'apprentissage actif et une école traditionnelle, une grande différence dans les styles de communication a été affichée par les enseignants. Parallèlement, des interactions sociales très différentes ont été observées entre les élèves. Il a été établi une relation entre les styles de communication choisis par les enseignants et l’effet qu’ils ont sur le comportement des enfants et les relations qu’ils créent entre eux. Cependant, les enseignants ne sont pas totalement libres de choisir la manière dont ils veulent communiquer, cela dépend également du type d'école dans laquelle ils travaillent. Chaque type d'établissement a ses propres principes, méthode d'enseignement et philosophie. Ils ont même une compréhension différente de la signification de l'éducation. Ceci est également décidé par la politique éducative actuelle dans chaque pays. C'est pourquoi deux lois différentes de l'éducation (espagnole et écossaise) ont été analysées. Cette étude est une recherche qualitative et non expérimentale ou ex post facto, dans laquelle les variables vont être étudiées dans leur contexte naturel sans aucun contrôle sur elles. Une réflexion a également été faite sur les raisons pour lesquelles l'éducation alternative n'est pas légale en Espagne en comparant le système éducatif espagnol à celui écossais.

Le document examine l'état du développement de l'agriculture en Jordanie, les défis actuels et le potentiel de développement futur. Le but de l'étude est de découvrir le rôle de l'éducation et de l'esprit d'entreprise dans la promotion du développement agricole en Jordanie à travers: l'introduction de nouvelles technologies dans le secteur; appliquer une perspective de marketing moderne et mondiale et l'autonomisation de l'entrepreneuriat des jeunes. Cette étude est basée sur une approche théorique basée sur la recherche secondaire, et la recherche primaire comprend deux enquêtes ont été menées à cette étude. Comme diverses études, cette étude a confirmé que la rareté de l'eau est le principal défi du développement agricole en Jordanie et que le secteur est moins développé que d'autres secteurs du pays. Néanmoins, cette étude a ajouté que la faible participation de l'entrepreneuriat des jeunes dans le secteur n'est pas seulement due à la pénurie financière et aux connaissances insuffisantes des jeunes, mais aussi à leur faible attitude à l'égard du travail dans l'agriculture. Par conséquent, il est suggéré qu'il est nécessaire de modifier considérablement le paradigme du système éducatif pour répondre aux besoins du marché. Utiliser également le rôle de la R&D pour améliorer la gestion des ressources en eau et mettre l'accent sur le dessalement et la réutilisation des eaux usées, et changer l'attitude des jeunes à l'égard du travail dans l'agriculture. Ajoutez à ce qui précède qu'il est nécessaire de fournir plus de soutien financier et technique pour attirer et aider les jeunes entrepreneurs à investir dans le secteur. En conséquence, une occasion de relever les défis actuels et de favoriser le développement futur se présentera.
