Authors: Hossain MA
Published: July 2024

An experiment was conducted with seven drought tolerant rice varieties i.e., Binadhan-17, Binadhan-19, BRRI dhan56, BRRI dhan57, BRRI dhan66, BRRI dhan71 and BRRI dhan83 were used as plant materialism. Boro season during December 2022-May 2023 to evaluate the yield performance at the reproductive stage as well as disclose the inherent variability of the varieties for yield and yield attributing traits following a randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant variation (p<0.01) was observed for genotype, treatment and G (genotype) × T (treatment) interactions viz., days to maturity, plant height, effective tillers/plant, filled grains/plant, unfilled grains/plant, 100-seed weight, grain yield/plant and H2O2. Drought stress lead to a significant decrease in grain yield/plant in all of the varieties; highest decrease was found in BRRI dhan56 (48.65%) followed by BRRI dhan57, BRRI dhan66, Binadhan-17, Binadhan-19, BRRI dhan83, and BRRI dhan71 (42.08, 39.01, 37.58, 34.54, 32.28 and 31.92%, respectively) related to control. Interestingly, the highest yield was recorded in Binadhan-17. Principle component analysis revealed that the first two components explained 76.1% of the total variations of the studied varieties, indicating total tillers/plant, effective tillers/plant, filled grains/plant, 100-seed weight and grain yield/plant are the most important characters contributing to yield. Grain yield/plant showed significant positive correlation with total tillers/plant, effective tillers/plant, filled grains/plant, 100 seed weight. From stress tolerance indices Binadhan-17 was categorized as tolerant genotype with superior yield performance and this genotype was selected for further study under different drought prone areas of Bangladesh as well as for genetic improvement against drought stress.

Published: July 2024

Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax, (Enderlin) (Tephritidae: Diptera) is univoltine pest causing severe damage in citrus fruits. Longivity in different carbohydrate diets and morphometrics of adult Chinese citrus fly (CCF) was studied in uncontrolled laboratory room in Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan, Nepal. The result showed that the emergence of CCF was the highest (88%) for the pupa weighing more than 0.076 g with male and female emergence ratio of 1:2.1 followed by pupal weight of 0.049-0.076 g with emergence of 82.1%. The maximum population emerged at the last week of March, 2021. The adult emergence was recorded 66-90% at the additional moisture content of 15-20% in oven-dried soil with no adult emergence in completely oven dried soil. The adult longivity was 17.90 ± 1.80 days for female adult in 10% sucrose solution and was 15.09 ± 1.49 days for male adult in 10% jaggery solution. Length of Chinese citrus fly pupa was 7.46 ± 0.30 mm while breadth was 0.97 ± 0.004 mm with average weight of 0.078 ± 0.002 g. Similarly, length of female was 16.09 ± 0.27 mm including ovipositor (4.28 ± 0.41 mm) which was 43.8% higher than male fly (11.39 ± 0.16 mm). Wing span of male was 2.50 ± 0.006 cm and of female was 2.72 ± 0.10 cm where female had 8.8% wider wing span compared to male. The study findings are useful in comparing characters of B. minax with other fruit fly species to develop the specific management practices of CCF.

Potential Use Of Zeolites In Agriculture: A Review
Authors: Khan Mahbubur Rahman , Tarafder Mahbubul Alam , Priti Mahabuba Sultana
Published: July 2024

Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates that exist naturally, and they are the most common mineral in sedimentary rocks. These minerals are called tectosilicates, and they have an open, three-dimensional structure with the cations required to maintain equilibrium of electrostatic charge between the aluminum framework and silicon tetrahedral units. Most common zeolites are chabazite, clinoptilolite, phillipsite, erionite, stilbite, heulandite, and mordenite. Zeolites are harmless for the environment and living things. Their multipurpose application in agriculture is mainly due to their high porosity, sorption-ion-exchange capability, and well-developed specific surface area. Applying zeolites directly to the soil improves its sorption capacity while simultaneously decreasing acidity and boosting nutrient uptake efficiency. Increased yields and less nutrient dispersion in the environment are achieved through better nitrogen utilization from fertilizers. This contributes to the closed-loop economy, the depletion of environmental resources, and the principles of sustainable development. Thus, zeolites have the potential to directly enhance agricultural environments.

An experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field of Dacope upazila under Khulna district during the two consecutive rabi seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21 to find out the effect of plant spacing and variety on yield and quality of maize in coastal region. The experiment comprised two set of treatments viz., (a) Plant spacing: 60 cm x 20 cm (S1); 55 cm x 20 cm (S2); 50 cm x 20 cm (S3) and 45 cm x 20 cm (S4) and variety (b) BARI hybrid Maize-16 (V1); Sunshine (V2) and NK 40 (V3) in split plot design (where plant spacing in the main plot and variety in the sub plot) with three replications. The results showed that the variety Sunshine planted with 60 cm × 20 cm plant spacing (S1V2) produced significantly the tallest plant and maximum number of leaves plant-1. BARI hybrid Maize-16 planted with 60 cm × 20 cm plant spacing (S1V1) showed significantly the highest yield attributes and carbohydrate content. NK 40 planted with 60 cm × 20 cm plant spacing (S1V3) produced significantly the maximum protein content. But the treatment combination S4V1 (BARI hybrid Maize-16 with planted with 45 cm × 20 cm plant spacing) produced significantly the highest grain yield (8.43 t ha-1) due to higher number of plant population.

Agroecological Interventions For The Sustainable Management Of Fall Armyworm, Spodopera Frugiperda (J.e Smith) For Smallholder Farmers
Authors: Tiwari Sundar
Published: July 2024

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda J.E Smith, is a worldwide invasive pest of maize, but also damages sweet corn, rice, and sorghum. This pest originates from the Americas and spread to Africa, Asia, and Australia, with more than 80 countries. Pesticidal management practices always get a priority for the immediate intervention of this pest. These practices are against the environment, biodiversity, and human health. Hence efforts are interestingly growing to develop agroecological strategies for fall armyworm management. This review is focused on diagnosing the various agroecological practices that apply to the sustainable management of fall armyworms. The most common pest management practices that are popular among smallholder farmers are intercropping, push-pull systems, crop rotations, mulching, cultural practices, use local pesticidal plants, habitat diversification, soil nutrient management, and many more.Intercropping including push-pull farming systems with leguminous crops reduces the number of fall armyworm eggs by increasing the biological control (BC) activities and inhibits the movement of pest larvae. Mulching on the soil ameliorates soil microclimate and improves plant health. Habitat diversification improves the quality of farms and improve BC activities by providing shelter, nectar, alternative food, and pollen to the pest's natural enemies. Similarly, local pesticide plants could be a sustainable alternative to synthetic pesticides. Hence, agroecological practices for pest management improve a balanced environment, regulate natural pests, reduce inputs, diversify the agroecosystem, improve biologically mediated soil fertility, increase yields, and finally improve ecosystem services. These practices must be promoted to replace agricultural intensification with sustainable intensification in maize fields.

Published: July 2024

Background and Objectives Post-extubation dysphagia (PED) is a condition characterized by swallowing difficulty following the removal of breathing tube. Untreated dysphagia leads to increased morbidity and mortality; however, no study has been conducted on the proportion of PED at RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), using flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), or on the factors that contribute to its occurrence.Subjects and Method Anamnesis and medical record review were conducted on post-extubation patients in the RSCM intensive care unit (ICU) meeting inclusion criteria. Research subjects underwent maximum phonation time (MPT) examination thrice. FEES examination was carried out twice, with 24 hours of post-extubation on all subjects and 72 hours of postextubation on those with PED on initial FEES examination.Results The study involved 33 subjects who met the inclusion criteria. The proportion of mild to severe PED determined by FEES 24 hours after extubation was 66.7%, and those exhibiting laryngeal injury was 87.9%. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between the number of comorbidities, intubation duration, laryngeal injury severity, and MPT value with the incidence of PED in the RSCM ICU. Moreover, the multivariate analysis showed that the duration of intubation exceeding 24 hours had a statistically significant association with the incidence of PED (p=0.003; OR 15.30; 95% CI 2.46-95.19).Conclusion The proportion of mild to severe dysphagia in post-extubation patients in the RSCM ICU is quite high. Intubation duration exceeding 24 hours and having more than one comorbidity significantly contribute to the increased risk of dysphagia in post-extubated patients in the RSCM ICU.

Authors: Bugarčić Filip
Published: July 2024

The importance of international trade unequivocally imposes the imperative for its further promotion. The paper presents the state-of-the-art and analyzes the factors that facilitate trade. The conceptual framework aims to indicate the importance of continuous trade facilitation, present the related literature, and provide guidelines for further contributions to increase international trade's intensity, efficiency, and volume. To comprehensively analyze and present valid conclusions, trade facilitation factors are considered in two ways: 1) at the level of national economies, presenting the factors that contribute to countries’ exports/imports; and 2) at the level of individual companies, pointing out determinants for easier access to foreign markets. This way, a systematized overview of factors facilitating international trade is presented at the macroeconomic and firm levels. Also, the article provides recommendations for future development with special attention on non-tariff measures, export/import procedures, trade logistics, and modern technologies in facilitating international trade. The presented research framework is dedicated to policymakers and international trade managers. At the same time, it serves the purpose of future empirical research that would test and compare the impact of identified factors on the volume of international trade.

Authors: Chichango Fernando , Nhambiu Jorge
Published: July 2024

Esta pesquisa visa quantificar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa dos veículos e discutir os impactos da substituição de combustíveis fósseis por gás natural veicular em Moçambique. Utilizando a metodologia COPERT 5.7 (EMISIA) e também a de EMEP/EEA Guidebook proposta pela Agência Europeia do Ambiente (EEA), o estudo fornece dados detalhados sobre a frota de veículos de 2013 a 2020, incluindo consumo de combustível e emissões de vários gases. As descobertas destacam a necessidade de manutenção e adesão aos padrões de emissão para reduzir a poluição. O uso de gás veicular requer técnicas de manuseio cuidadosas para prevenir o vazamento de metano. A implementação de diretrizes globais de qualidade do ar é uma emergência nacional. A pesquisa sugere a eletrificação do transporte e a produção de "hidrogênio verde" como estratégias para reduzir as emissões. No entanto, a transição energética é um desafio complexo que requer uma abordagem multifacetada e estudos futuros nesta área são essenciais.

O ciclo do sangue culmina na formação de hemocomponentes  e  inicia-se desde a captação do doador, triagem, coleta, produção, análises sorológicas e imunohematológicas, armazenamento, distribuição e transfusão sanguínea. O descarte de hemocomponentes propriamente dito pode ocorrer durante cada etapa desse ciclo e não necessariamente apenas no seu fim. Isso dependerá dos interferentes ocorridos em determinada fase e da intercorrência adquirida nela. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, de caráter descritivo e exploratório, tem por objetivo avaliar as interferências relacionadas ao descarte de hemocomponentes durante o ciclo hemoterápico: por motivos sorológicos, erros vinculados à coleta e à produção e as causas subjacentes para tal prática. Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram os descartes de hemocomponentes por sorologia positiva, erros de coleta e de produção, e como critério de exclusão, nos artigos analisados, foram desconsiderados descartes por motivos vinculados a interrupção da transfusão na agência transfusional e descartes por contingência. Dentre as variáveis de descarte de hemocomponentes destacam-se a hemólise, dificuldade de punção venosa, fluxo lento e interrompido, volume excedente ou insuficiente, resultados de sorologia positivos, lipemia, esverdeamento de plasma, icterícia, contaminação por hemácias e vencimento. Os hemocomponentes mais descartados mediante os estudos analisados foram o concentrado de plaquetas (CP) e o plasma fresco congelado (PFC). Considerando esses os motivos de descarte analisados, é necessário reduzi-los durante a cadeia transfusional, a fim de gerenciar os estoques de hemocomponentes, para que se possa fornecê-los em prol da proteção e saúde dos receptores.

Published: July 2024

Yersiniosis, caused by Yersinia ruckeri, has become the most common disease in farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in Peru, affecting Puno and Junín Regions, important aquaculture areas in the country. Florfenicol (FLO) and oxytetracycline (OXY) are the antimicrobials most frequently used to mitigate losses attributed to this pathogen. This study presents an analysis of the susceptibility patterns of 60 Y. ruckeri isolates (30 isolates each from Puno and Junín), including the type strain CECT 4319T and the strains CECT 955 and CECT 956, against FLO and OXY. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined following the guideline for standard broth dilution method published by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. MIC results ranged from 4.0 to 8.0 µg ml-1 for FLO and 0.5 to 4.0 µg ml-1 for OXY. Normalized resistance interpretation (NRI) analysis identified epidemiological cut-off values of ≤16.0 µg ml-1 for FLO and ≤4.0 µg ml-1 for OXY. All Peruvian isolates, including the collection strains, were categorized as wild-type for both antimicrobials. Even though the number of Y. ruckeri isolates with MIC values of 8 µg ml-1 for FLO is more than double in Puno than in Junín (15 vs. 7 isolates), the NRI analysis showed the same epidemiological cutoff of 16 µg ml-1; while for OXY, it was 4.0 µg ml-1 for Puno and 2.0 µg ml-1 for Junín. This study establishes the basis for monitoring susceptibility to FLO and OXY in new Y. ruckeri isolates in Peruvian rainbow trout farming.

This article examines the key stages of the evolution of spiritual and moral education based on Orthodox Christian values, starting from the early days of Christianity and ending with the present period, when the Church becomes one of the most important institutions influencing the formation of spiritual and moral qualities of young people. The purpose of the research is to study the fundamental foundations of spiritual and moral Christian teaching, their reflection in the historiosophy of the Orthodox religion. and their significance in the formation of a person's worldview of the present time. The conclusions drawn in the course of the study allow us to reliably assert that the spiritual and moral values of Orthodoxy are natural and organic to the Russian mental character in any period of its development. That is why, in the XXI century, a return to traditional values by redirecting education and upbringing as mutually dependent sides of a single process into a spiritual and moral traditional path will allow the Russian people to find their own path in world history.

The entry of Crimea into Russia, the imposition of economic sanctions by EU member states and the launch of a special military operation have caused a discussion in the international community. Turkey does not stand aside and pursues its own foreign policy course. Despite its desire to play a peacekeeping role in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict ensuring the territorial integrity of Ukraine comes to the fore. The complex and ambiguous interaction between Moscow and Ankara in the post-Soviet space does not allow achieving results. On the one hand the Turkish leadership stands for resolving the crisis in Ukraine and on the other hand recognizes the annexation of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions to Russia as illegal. Overcoming differences between Moscow and Ankara is a priority but in order to reach a compromise it is necessary to reconsider the foreign policy course. The special military operation on the 24-th of February of 2022 was the beginning of a new stage in the development of bilateral relations and made it possible to define views on the problem of conflict resolution in Ukraine. R.T. Erdogan's interest in maintaining friendly contacts with V.A. Zelensky is of concern to Moscow. The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of the Ukrainian crisis on relations between Russia and Turkey.

The article analyzes the study of issues of economic recovery of the BSSR in the post-war period. It is noted that in the process of restoring peaceful life, factors such as the labor heroism of Soviet citizens, assistance from Soviet republics, and reparations played a decisive role. As part of the study, an analysis of the literature devoted to the issues of post-war economic recovery of the BSSR was carried out. A special feature of this article is the consideration of both Soviet, Russian and Belarusian historiography. The authors turn to the works of the second half of the 20th century, starting from the time of liberation of the territory of the BSSR from the Nazi invaders and completing their review with Belarusian works written in the first quarter of the 21st century.

The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of the Russian proto-industrialization and the early stage of industrial development, based on systematization of the findings in the previous studies, and to express our findings in terms of the new institutional economic history, which was employed as the theoretical and methodological basis of the work. We update the concepts of military modernization and national military power as a maximand of economic policy. We analyze interactions between the government and market forces, the formation of industrial policy in relations to general political, military and fiscal needs of the state. Other social subjects of the Russian (proto-)industrialization are identified: entrepreneurs from the nobility, serf industrialists, members of religious sectarian groups (mainly of the ‘Old Believers’), certain ethnic groups (Germans, Jews), foreign entrepreneurs (or of foreign origin), scientists and inventors. Special reference is attributed to the knowledge production sector, primarily to the creation of institutions for patenting inventions. We discuss the argument by A. Gerschenkron on the advantages of Russia’s backwardness for her catching-up development. In concluding remarks the author formulates Smithian (related to the division of labor and specialization) and Northian (institutional) driving factors of economic growth during the Russian (proto-)industrialization. By analyzing the Northian factors, the author distinguishes between “idealistic” (influence of culture, ideology or social norms) and “stimulating” (influence of material or non-material motivations) approaches. The overall finding is that industrialization in the Russian Empire was carried out through preservation and strengthening of the established institutions, which proved relatively effective in addressing immediate problems but hampered development in the long run.

Published: July 2024

Poluentes emergentes, como compostos farmacêuticos, são detectados em diversas matrizes ambientais, podendo causar impactos negativos para o ecossistema e saúde humana. Neste contexto o presente trabalho visa apresentar uma avaliação do comportamento de adsorção do fármaco Atenolol no sedimento do arroio Esteio em Esteio/RS. Os experimentos foram divididos em 3 principais etapas distintas: caracterização do sedimento, estudo do comportamento de adsorção do Atenolol no sedimento e comparação com as isotermas de Langmuir e Freundlich. A partir dos resultados da caracterização do sedimento, observou-se que a amostra possui textura argilosa, ácida e percentual de carbono orgânico baixo e a presença de metais. As concentrações de 5 e 10 mg/L de Atenolol foram completamente adsorvidas no sedimento, considerando os limites de detecção do método de análise. Já nas concentrações de 20 a 100 mg/L de Atenolol foram observadas eficiências de remoção na faixa entre 17 a 31 %. Nestas condições, a isoterma de Langmuir apresentou R2 de 0,9026, Qmax de 357,1 e KL 5,73x10-6 e Freundlich R2 de 0,9667 KF 4,05x10-4 e n 0,71. Assim, concluiu-se que o fármaco Atenolol é adsorvido no sedimento estudado e que a isoterma de Freundlich melhor se adapta aos valores experimentais de adsorção da amostra coletada.
RESENHA DE LIVRO: CORONAVÍRUS E A LUTA DE CLASSE

Published: July 2024

Quarentena, prevenção, cuidados, infecção, mortes e recuperação são palavras disseminadas cotidianamente pela mídia televisiva, à medida que ocorre a expansão da COVID-19 nos diversos territórios. De fato, a pandemia com proporções internacionais modificou o modo de se ver no mundo, pois tornou o que já era desigual muito mais segregado. A obra traz a discussão de valiosos pesquisadores, com reconhecimento internacional. Fazem parte da equipe os pesquisadores: Mike Davis, David Harvey, Alain Bihr, Raúl Zibechi, Alain Badiou e Slavoj Zizek, que discutem, entre temas e tramas, a crise do coronavírus e as questões de classes impostas pelo modelo neoliberal, que tornam os sistemas de saúde perversos, uma vez que os mesmos objetivam apenas a rentabilidade financeira em meio ao caos pandêmico. A seguir, conheceremos melhor a obra.
PROPOSTAS DIDÁTICAS PARA O ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA:
Authors: Cano Fernando Camillo Santos
Published: July 2024

A presente pesquisa objetivou desenvolver quatro sequências didáticas sobre o conteúdo Atmosfera para o ensino de geografia. As sequências didáticas foram capazes de propiciar ações para tornar  mais significativa a aprendizagem dos alunos, sendo elas constituídas pelo arcabouço teórico-científico do educador, sua tomada de decisão em relação às estratégias metodológicas e a participação dos alunos em sala de aula. Na maioria das vezes, as formas tradicionais de ensino fazem com que os alunos não consigam superar seus obstáculos ou dificuldades específicas de aprendizagem, tornando o ensino engessado. Para o desenvolvimento das sequências didáticas da presente pesquisa foram utilizadas diferentes estratégias metodológicas, tais como: a exposição de imagens, jogo, mapa conceitual, música e vídeo. No que tange à temática abordada, o conteúdo de Atmosfera é propício à disseminação de imagens e diferentes recursos audiovisuais, facilitando o desenvolvimento das práticas criativas. Porém, os livros didáticos continuam reproduzindo formas tradicionais de ensino, dificultando a construção de uma nova forma de aprendizagem. A importância do estudo da Atmosfera na geografia escolar é orientar os alunos quanto aos fenômenos hodiernos, além de entender como ela se constitui e como ela pode alterar nosso cotidiano. Dessa forma, faz-se necessário destacar que a paisagem, o lugar e o espaço geográfico são os conceitos geográficos estruturantes da análise da atmosfera terrestre. Como demonstrado na presente pesquisa, a utilização de estratégias metodológicas alternativas é fonte motivadora para os alunos aprenderem e suprirem possíveis dificuldades, uma vez que aos alunos são apresentadas novas formas de estudo, bem como transmissão do conhecimento.  É importante que o educador tenha a capacidade de planejar diferentes estratégias e diversificá-las quando se trata de ensino-aprendizagem dentro do âmbito da geografia escolar.
ANTROPOCENO, CAPITALOCENO E LIXOCENO:
Authors: Gaboardi Shaiane Carla , Nunes Lauren De Cesaro
Published: July 2024

As circunstâncias que permeiam as relações sociedade-natureza e os problemas ambientais decorrentes do crescimento populacional e econômico podem ser interpretadas por diversas abordagens. Este artigo objetiva discutir três perspectivas críticas sobre o processo de dominação e exploração da natureza: Antropoceno, Capitaloceno e Lixoceno. Para tanto, a metodologia se baseou em pesquisa bibliográfica, de modo que foram realizadas análises de artigos científicos publicados sobre o panorama estudado. Conclui-se que a noção de Antropoceno dá ênfase ao papel do ser humano na transformação da Terra, de modo que este processo afetaria irreversivelmente as condições geoecológicas e ecossistêmicas de toda biosfera. Já o Capitaloceno considera que a ação humana é perpassada pelas relações políticas e econômicas de poder e desigualdades no contexto do capitalismo global. O enfoque do Lixoceno tem sido empregado para ressaltar a natureza contaminadora causada pelo sistema capitalista, desde a resistência e acúmulo de externalidades no corpo humano até na Terra.

PEQUENAS LOCALIDADES NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE MARINGÁ-PR
Authors: Batista Marinalva Reis
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo falaremos brevemente sobre a centralidade exercida pela cidade de Maringá, bem como sobre as interações dos municípios com a cidade sede da Região Metropolitana de Maringá e o nível de integração de cada um deles com a sede. Destacaremos brevemente o debate sobre duas pequenas localidades: os municípios de São Jorge do Ivaí e Floraí, no contexto dessa unidade regional. Os municípios foram escolhidos pela sua condição de localização e comportamento demográfico – com perda de população –, justamente porque esses são os municípios que apresentam indícios de pouca integração e que podemos considerar como de uma realidade não metropolitana ao invés de metropolitana.
