(Un)productive Use of Public Debt in Kosovo
Authors: Zharku Lutfi
Published: January 2019

[full article and abstract in English]

The aim of this paper is to analyze how public debt is used in Kosovo and to find out if there is a direct link between public debt and public investment that has positive impact on economic growth. Since acquiring independence, Kosovo engaged in public investment on a large scale, mainly in developing road infrastructure. With the cash balance depleted, a growing budget deficit and facing liquidity difficulties due to ongoing large public investments and increasing wage & salary bill and social transfers, the Government of Kosovo had to start borrowing both abroad and domestically. However, public debt had continued to increase even though public investment had experienced a sharp decrease. Since the budget financial statements do not show any deficit composition, we have recalculated a special-purpose deficit, the so-called “regular” budget deficit, considering only regular receipts and outlays. By disaggregating the total public debt based on lenders and by tying the loans to specific capital projects, we came to the conclusion that only a small part of the public debt is directly tied with public investment, while the bulk of it is used to finance the budget deficit that was caused by a high increase in wage & salary bill and social transfers. The analysis confirms that the public debt is being used for unproductive purposes and therefore does not contribute to economic growth. All this was supported by a lack of legal infrastructure or fiscal rules for several years. There is extensive literature on both public debt and public investments as well as their impact on economic growth. The literature review method was adopted for this study, and our research was refined by including the selected papers that contained empirical and theoretical studies on these issues. This is a case study for Kosovo, and the research has been carried out using secondary research data drawn from Kosovo budget annual financial reports and annual bulletins on public debt. The implications of this paper may be of high importance for policymakers as well as for academics, as this happens to be one of the pioneering articles in this field in terms of studies conducted about Kosovo. Herein is presented a unique approach to the issues of public debt and public investment.

Published: January 2019

Generasi emas merupakan generasi yang diharapkan lahir dari negeri tercinta bernama Indonesia. Generasi yang disiapkan menjadi penopang kehidupan bangsa, yang cerdas, berkarakter, dan sehat rohani jasmaninya. Generasi yang memiliki kebebasan secara fisik dan mental menikmati perkembangan kehidupan, baik dari sisi akademik. Anehnya belakangan, di antara gemerlapnya teknologi dan kemajuan sistem pendidikan yang menunjang perwujudan generasi emas Indonesia, bertaburan berbagai kasus yang mengotori usaha-usaha tersebut. Keracunan makanan hampir setiap hari, berganti tempat dari sekolah satu di daerah A, berpindah ke sekolah B di daerah lainnya. Kemudian, yang lebih memrihatinkan adalah, kejadian tersebut disebabkan oleh makanan-makanan tidak sehat, tidak memiliki nutrisi yang cukup untuk menunjang perkembangannya. Kebanyakan kasus tersebut berawal dari mengonsumsi makanan sampah, yang masih bebas dijajakan di sekitar sekolah.
HUBUNGAN KESETARAAN GENDER DENGAN USAHA MENURUNKAN ANGKA KEMATIAN BAYI DAN MENINGKATKAN KESEHATAN IBU
Authors: Athiyyah Royhanun
Published: January 2019

Karya tulis ini dibuat dengan mengkaji ketercapaian target pembangunan milenium 2015 atau Millenium Development Goals 2015 (MDGs 2015). Pembahasan selanjutnya hanya dikhususkan pada tiga target yaitu target mendorong kesetaraan gender dan pemberdayaan perempuan, menurunkan angka kematian anak, serta meningkatkan kesehatan ibu. Karya tulis ini mengacu pada dua sumber utama yaitu laporan pencapaian tujuan pembangunan milenium di Indonesia 2014 dan pembangunan kesetaraan gender background study RPJMN III (2015-2019). Target mendorong kesetaraan gender dan pemberdayaan perempuan dalam bidang pendidikan, ketenagakerjaan, dan politik secara keseluruhan tercapai. Berdasarkan survei tahun 2014, empat indikator kesetaraan gender bidang pendidikan telah melampaui target MDGs 2015 yang seharusnya yaitu 100% (tidak ada ketimpangan pendidikan antara perempuan dan laki-laki). Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa tujuan yang dilakukan menyebabkan ketimpangan pendidikan antara perempuan dan laki-laki dimana perempuan berada pada posisi yang lebih baik namun ketimpangan tersebut tidak terlalu besar. Ketercapaian yang luar biasa ini tidak diiringi ketercapaian target menurunkan angka kematian anak dan meningkatkan kesehatan ibu. Laporan terakhir mengenai indikator angka kematian anak (tahun 2012) masih berstatus akan tercapai’ dan ‘perlu perhatian khusus’. Hal tersebut juga terjadi pada target meningkatkan kesehatan ibu. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa angka kematian anak dan kesehatan ibu tidak banyak dipengaruhi oleh kesetaraan gender dan pemberdayaan perempuan.
Yield heterosis and average fruit weight as a function of inbreeding in Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex Poir.
Authors: Restrepo Javier , Vallejo Franco , Restrepo Edwin
Published: January 2019

In order to estimate the mean heterosis, mid parent heterosis and heterobeltiosis (HB), three diallel crossings of Cucurbita moschata were evaluated, each formed by six parents with three levels of inbreeding (S0, S1, S2). A randomized complete block experimental design was used with four replicates, arranged in split plots. The variables yield per plant (YPP) and average fruit weight (AFW) were analyzed. The hybrids between S1 or S2 inbred lines presented heterotic superiority regarding to those between S0 parents for the variables YPP and AFW. Likewise, the hybrids between S2 inbred lines reported heterotic superiority in comparison to those among S1 inbred lines, for such variables. The hybrids between S2 inbred lines that reported the highest expression levels of HB for YPP were P1xP3, P2xP6 and P1xP2, with values ranging between 131.42 and 98.24%; while the hybrids among S1 inbred lines that recorded the highest values of HB, for this same variable, were P3xP5 and P1xP5 with values of 191.71 and 139.29%, respectively. Furthermore, the hybrids between S2 and S1 inbred lines that registered the highest level of HB for AFW were P1xP3 and P1xP5 with values of 108 and 83.7%, respectively.
A magyarországi felnőtt népesség droghasználata – az országos lakossági adatfelvétel az addiktológiai problémákról 2015 (OLAAP 2015) reprezentatív lakossági felmérés Alapján
Authors: Paksi Borbála , Demetrovics Zsolt , Magi Anna , Felvinczi Katalin
Published: January 2019

Háttér és célok: Magyarországon 2001-ben (ADE 2001), 2003-ban (ADE 2003) és 2007-ben (OLAAP 2007) készült a felnőtt népesség körében célzott drogepidemiológiai adatfelvétel. A magyar népesség addiktológiai problémáinak feltérképezésére/nyomon követésére nyolc év kihagyás után 2015-ben készült újabb célzott vizsgálat. Tanulmányunkban az Országos Lakossági Adatfelvétel Addiktológiai Problémákról (OLAAP 2015) című kutatás drogfogyasztással kapcsolatos eredményeit mutatjuk be.

Módszer: A vizsgálat a 18–64 éves népesség bruttó 2477, nettó 2274 fős, országos reprezentatív mintáján készült, a 18–34 éves fiatal felnőtt populáció felülreprezentálásával. A 18–64 éves súlyozott minta nagysága 1490 fő. Az adatfelvétel a kérdezettek személyes megkeresésével, ún. „kevert”, a személyes kérdezést (face to face) és önkitöltős elemeket egyaránt alkalmazó módszerrel, 2015 tavaszán zajlott. A drogfogyasztással kapcsolatos kérdések kialakítása a hazai előzményekre (Paksi, Rózsa, Kun, Arnold és Demetrovics, 2009), az EMCDDA modellkérdőíveire (EMQ) (EMCDDA, 1999, 2002) és aktuális indikátorigényeire/ajánlásaira (EMCDDA, 2015b), továbbá az európai országok drogepidemiológiai vizsgálatainak metaanalízisére (Decorte, Mortelmans, Tieberghien és De Moor, 2009) támaszkodik. Az adatok feldolgozása az EMCDDA (2002) standardok szerint történt.

Eredmények/következtetések: A kutatás eredményei szerint a magyarországi 18–64 éves népességben minden tízedik válaszoló (9,9%) fogyasztott már valamilyen tiltott szert az élete során. A tiltott drogok éves prevalenciaértéke 2,3%, a havi prevalenciaértéke pedig 1,2%. A legtöbben marihuánát/hasist fogyasztottak eddig életük során, ezt követi az ecstasy, a szintetikus-kannabinoidok, az amfetamin és az új stimulánsok népszerűsége. A drogokkal való kapcsolatba kerülés társadalmi-demográfiai kockázati tényezőit vizsgálva a droghasználat korosztályos és urbanizációs mintázódása mellett a kulturális/gazdasági státus, valamint az impulzivitás szerepét kell kiemelnünk.
Működési zavarok és megújulási törekvések a tudományos pszichológiában, a 21. század elején
Authors: Szokolszky Ágnes
Published: January 2019

A 2010-es évek elején a tudományos pszichológiában kibontakozó működési zavarok és válságérzet (a tudományos csalások és visszavont publikációk számának megnövekedése, a vitatható kutatási eljárások, a gyenge vagy kétséges cikkek megjelenése vezető folyóiratokban, és a tudományos kommunikáció torzulásai) a Brian Nosek és munkatársai nevével jelzett „Megismétlési Projektben” (2011–2015) csúcsosodtak ki, egyfajta bizalmi válságot hozva létre. A pszichológiának szembe kellett néznie (más tudományágakkal együtt) a kutatási eredmények validitását és megbízhatóságát érintő problémákkal. Az alapos önvizsgálat sokféle – nem feltétlenül új keletű – hiányosságot tárt fel, amelyek különböző mértékben érintették a különböző kutatási területeket. Ilyen volt a pontos megismétlések hiánya, a konceptuális megismétlések visszásságai, a kutatói hipotézist nem igazoló negatív eredmények mostoha státusza, és az ezzel járó publikációs torzulás, a kutatói hipotézist alaptalanul megerősítő (hamis pozitív) eredmények elterjedtsége, és a nullhipotézis- teszteléssel és a statisztika alkalmazásával kapcsolatos korántsem új kritikák. A 2010-es évek vége felé már megfelelő rálátásunk van a feltárt problémákra, jobban értjük az okokat és háttértényezőket, és új megoldási módok és ajánlások is megfogalmazódtak. E tanulmányban a válság fő okainak, szimptómáinak és tanulságainak áttekintésére vállalkozom, és a kibontakozó reformmozgalom nyomán jelentkező új eljárásokra és ajánlásokra hívom fel a figyelmet. A pszichológia e válságperiódusban bizonyította önkorrekciós képességét. A kutatási és publikációs gyakorlatot a jobb működés irányába mutató impulzusok érik, de ezek hatása csak úgy tud érvényesülni, ha a kutatók mint egyének és mint kutatói közösségek tudatosabban viszonyulnak a problémák megoldásához.
A hajléktalanság láthatatlan arca: A lelki otthon és a lelki otthontalanság
Authors: Kántor Árpád , Dúll Andrea
Published: January 2019

A hajléktalanság kutatásának rövid történeti áttekintése után megközelítésünk alapfogalmait ismertetjük. Utána bemutatjuk a hajléktalanság pszichológiai megértését szolgáló legismertebb modelleket. Majd a kevésbé ismert „lelki otthon” és „lelki otthontalanság” jelenségének szakirodalmát összegezzük, és ismertetjük a „lelki otthontalanság – lelki otthonosság kontinuum” elméletét, mely az otthontalanság fizikai és lelki aspektusainak együttes megragadására hivatott, és az alábbi tételekben foglalható össze: 1. A „lelki otthon”, az „otthonunk” bennünk élő ideája (Kennedy, 2014), az a létfontosságú pszichés struktúra, mely meghatározza, hogy valaki hogyan él a világban és milyen érzelmei, attitűdjei stb. vannak a szociofizikai környezetével kapcsolatban. 2. A lelki otthon kialakulása és az, hogy valaki milyen körülmények közt érzi otthon magát, a saját otthonával kapcsolatos gyermekkori tapasztalataiban gyökerezik, abban, hogy milyen szociofizikai környezetben tanult meg otthonosan mozogni. Amennyiben az otthon ideája már a gyermekkorban maladaptívan alakul ki vagy a későbbiekben sérül, akkor az érintett többé-kevésbé lelkileg otthontalanná válik, és nehézsége lesz azzal, hogy a világban, társadalomban, kapcsolataiban otthon érezze magát, illetve egy otthonteremtésre alkalmas fizikai helyhez olyan módon kötődjön, hogy kötődése valóban egy fizikai otthon kialakításának alapját jelentse. 3. Nem minden fizikailag otthontalan ember lelkileg otthontalan, és nem minden lelkileg otthontalan ember válik fizikailag otthontalanná. 4. A teljes otthontalanság és a teljes otthonosság egy kontinuum két végpontja, melyek közt köztes állapotok helyezkednek el. Ez fizikai és lelki szinten egyaránt érvényes. 5. A fizikai és a lelki otthontalanság esetén egyaránt fontos különbséget tennünk a krónikus, szituatív és epizodikus otthontalanság közt. Az elmélet figyelembevétele a hajléktalanság elméleti megközelítése és a gyakorlati beavatkozások tekintetében egyaránt jelentős lehet.
Sauer’s, Godowsky’s, and Backhaus’s Budapest recitals in the reviews of Géza Csáth (1906–1912)
Authors: Dević Ana Tamara , Lazar Zsolt
Published: January 2019

This study analyzes the music critiques of Géza Csáth (1887–1919) on the interpretational achievements of the eminent European pianists Emil von Sauer, Leopold Godowsky, and Wilhelm Backhaus, who gave guest performances in Budapest from 1906 to 1912. By comparing Csáth’s opinions about the performances of the above mentioned pianists with those of the critics who wrote for Hungarian, German, Austrian, French and Serbian newspapers, the authors arrive to the conclusion that, at the time, artists were being more and more explicitly profiled exclusively as performers, while the practice of both composing and performing one’s own compositions, which had been customary, was slowly disappearing. The importance of the chosen critiques by Csáth lies first and foremost in the author’s comments, which indicate the changes happening in the piano practice in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century.
“If I had wanted to put it into words, I would have written a novel”: Ernő Dohnányi as interviewee
Authors: Kusz Veronika
Published: January 2019

Compared to his contemporaries Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, Ernst von Dohnányi (1877–1960) did not leave an extensive legacy of prose writings. He rarely spoke either of himself, the background of his compositions, his musical principles or compositional aesthetics; nor was he particularly active as a musicologist, ethnomusicologist or critic. Yet, during a long life filled with wide-ranging professional activities, he authored numerous writings pertinent to the history of music and musical life. Equally informative are the interviews he gave in his various capacities as composer, performer, teacher, and institutional leader. A volume in progress, entitled Ernő Dohnányi’s Selected Writings and Interviews, will offer an annotated critical edition of these texts (collected and edited by the author, to be published in late 2019). This study is based on the collected interview-material and gives a summary of some of their most important topics such as Dohnányi’s views on modern music, creative and reproductive talents, live-, radio-, and recorded performances. Though these transcripts cannot always be considered authentic sources, this study attempts to show that there is a great deal of information, heretofore unknown, contained in the numerous new interviews our research has brought to light.

Abstract. The data proving low probability of observing Biofilm Formation (BF) by contemporary clinical strains of M. tuberculosis growing on liquid medium in vitro are discussed. A hypothesis about the role of MDR/XDR development hindering BF production was proposed. It was found that strains capable of producing BF grow on Lewenstein–Jensen medium generated R-form specific colonies shaped as a disk with a convex center, “UFO-colonies”. Sixty seven “UFO”- strains were investigated to BF production, resistance to antibiotics and their belonging to the main epidemics clusters of the Beijing genotype (CC1 and CC2-W148). It was shown that MDR/XDR strains were also capable of BF production that, however, was remarkably more frequent in strains of CC1 and CC2-W148 genotypes. Thus, it was hypothesized that BF production might potentially influence an outcome of chronic forms of TB-infection.

Consequences of the Electoral System in Polish Municipalities – Pathologies and Abuses
Authors:   University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska, Wasil Justyna , Sidor Monika , A. Kuć-Czajkowska Katarzyna
Published: January 2019

Pathologies and abuses accompany elections and are connected with the electoral system both in its narrow and broad sense. Moreover, they stem from a human nature and a degree of democratic principles consolidation. Cohabitation is conditioned by the electoral system and, in the case of the proportional allocation of seats, it arises more often than in the majority system with single member constituencies. The phenomenon itself is not always pathological. However, such an adverse situation develops when it comes to clashes, neither substantive nor creative, between the municipal bodies and, in consequence, the interests of the local community are jeopardised. Elections at the municipal level are also accompanied by other pathologies and abuses including: coercing votes when voting by proxy, adding voters to an electoral roll, bringing residents to a polling place, paying for one’s votes, preying on the naïvety of voters which can take grotesque forms or brutalising an election campaign caused by the mediatisation of local policy. The above-mentioned phenomena were examined and presented in the paper based on the analysis of statistical data, articles from the local press and, most essentially for the discussed subject, a rich material collected thanks to the in-depth interviews conducted by the authors.
Election Petitions in Poland: The Efficiency Analysis of the Institution
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Poland), Wojciechowska Jagoda
Published: January 2019

The article concerns the analysis of procedures connected with election petitions in Poland on the basis of the constituencies under the jurisdiction of the District Court in Toruń. It should be mentioned, however, that research is currently being conducted in other courts, which even at the preliminary stage appears to corroborate the results of the analysis presented in the article. The research focuses on the guarantees of the efficiency of the electoral petition in Poland. The election petition is the most important instrument which is available to verify the validity of elections. The Constitution does not regulate this matter, entrusting the legislator with this task. The possibility of submitting an election petition implements the principle of the external judicial review of the progress of an election or referendum, which can be initiated upon the request of a legal entity entitled to submit the petition. Considering the role of the petition proceedings as well as the values which remain protected within the procedure of settlement, the legislator should demonstrate the utmost care to increase their efficiency. However, the regulations concerning election petitions are scattered around the whole Electoral Code. Furthermore, for an election petition to be justified, there must be a cause-effect link between the law violation and the results of an election, with the burden of proof placed on the petitioner. The overall result is that in judicial practice only in few cases have grievances in election petitions been considered justified.
Russian Active Measures in Psychological Warfare
Authors:   Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland), Doroszczyk Justyna
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is to analyse Russian active measures in the context of psychological warfare. Active measures are defined as the actions of political warfare conducted by Russian secret service. In case of Russian Federation they are the core of psychological operations that are tools of realising international and domestic policy priorities. Active measures include disinformation campaigns and supporting insurgency in opponent states. Regarding the context of psychological operations active measures are designed to model the mental sphere of opponent society. Active measures are aimed at weakening the unity of the European Union as well as common trust in NATO. Creating favourable atmosphere for Russian activity is the main goal of implementing active measures. Therefore active measures are considered as a great part of Russian interpretation of psychological warfare. Although active measures can support the military activity they are designed to influence the mental sphere of opponent society and are used to create opinions and interpretations that match Russian interests. Those measures are difficult to identify and therefore are threats that are not easy to counteract.
Amnesties: conditio sine qua non for a Lasting Peace Solution or Ticking Time Bomb for Peacebuilding?
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Poland), Szpak Agnieszka
Published: January 2019

The author attempts to define amnesty and describe conditions that must be met for amnesties to be in accordance with international law. This in turn involves an analysis of legality of amnesties. The paper also examines motivation for granting amnesty and desirability as well as the future of granting amnesties. In the end a nuanced approach is adopted highlighting the fact that amnesties are neither conditio sine qua non for a lasting peace solution nor ticking time-bombs for peacebuilding. This reflects the idea of this paper that justice is not an absolute and sometimes it might be necessary to let go and combine judicial and non-judicial mechanisms (including the disclosure of truth and reparations for the victims) in order to achieve sustainable peace.
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and the Problem of Political Will
Authors:   Vignan University (India), Lea-Henry Jed
Published: January 2019

The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) was created in the hope of overcoming the barrier that state sovereignty, as a principle, had become to actions of humanitarian intervention. It was imagined that as mass atrocity crimes were coming to the attention of the international community, that, on the whole, they were willing, able and eager to intervene in order to stop the violence in question. Holding them back was sovereignty as both a legal and normative barrier. This was always a bad explanation for the pervasive lack of humanitarian intervention; accordingly R2P, as a bad solution, has failed almost entirely. The problem is, and always has been, that when faced with mass atrocity crimes, the international community is plagued by a near-permanent lack of political will to action.

Published: January 2019

As modificações causadas por atividades antrópicas, dentre as quais o tráfego de máquinas, afetam diretamente a estrutura do solo e, por isto, se torna muito importante a avaliação da magnitude dos impactos dos rodados sobre a qualidade física dos solos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o Índice de Cone (IC) e o recalque de dois tipos de solo com diferentes teores de água. Os solos selecionados foram: Nitossolo Vermelho distroférrico (NVd) de textura argilosa e Latossolo Vermelho (LV) de textura média. O delineamento experimental foi completamente casualizado, com os seguintes tratamentos de compactação: T0 = 0; T1 = 1; T2 = 2; T3 = 3; T4=5 e T5 = 10 passadas consecutivas do rodado de um trator agrícola. Utilizou-se um penetrômetro hidráulico-eletrônico para a amostragem da resistência mecânica do solo a penetração, determinando o Índice de Cone do Solo nas camadas de 0 a 0,10; 0,10 a 0,20; 0,20 a 0,30; 0,30 a 0,40m em 4 condições de teor de água, que variou de 17,0 a 23,5% para o NVd e de 10,0 a 16,1% para o LV, e um Perfilômetro para determinação do recalque do solo. O elevado teor de água resultou em uma compactação excessiva. Os maiores valores de área e profundidade de recalque foram observados no tratamento cujo trafego foi mais intenso (T5) nos dois solos.

No nordeste brasileiro a caprinocultura se destaca pela rusticidade das raças e sua adaptabilidade a ambientes de temperaturas elevadas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos das diferentes temperaturas (25,7; 29,4 e 33,4ºC) em câmara climática nas respostas fisiológicas e de desempenho em caprinos mestiços da raça Boer, utilizando-se seis caprinos ¾Boer + ¼SRD, com peso médio de 25+ kg. Foram coletadas as variáveis fisiológicas TR (temperatura retal), FR (frequência respiratória), FC (frequência cardíaca) e TS (temperatura superficial), e também foram coletadas as variáveis produtivas CR (consumo de ração), CAg (consumo de água), GP (ganho de peso) e CA (conversão alimentar). O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com três tratamentos e seis repetições; os dados foram analisados por meio do SAS pela aplicação dos procedimentos GLM e Teste de Tukey (T <0,05) para as variáveis significativas. Concluiu-se que as variáveis fisiológicas apresentaram efeito diretamente proporcional à temperatura do ambiente, mostrando que os animais foram eficientes no uso de mecanismos termorreguladores para manter a homeostase. Assim como, na maior temperatura os animais consumiram menos alimento e obtiveram menos peso, observou-se também a redução da eficiência de conversão dos alimentos em tecido corporal e gordura, reforçando o estado de desconforto térmico com a elevação da temperatura ambiente. Palavras-chave: ambiência, fisiologia, termorregulação.

O Brasil se destaca como grande produtor mundial na avicultura, liderando como o maior exportador de carne de frango do mercado, sendo sete anos de liderança nas exportações. O bem-estar animal está intimamente ligado à produtividade e as condições de ambiência devem respeitar as normas estabelecidas para que haja maior rendimento de produção e ética para com as aves; é preciso utilizar estratégias para modificar o ambiente interno das instalações destinadas á criação de aves. Desta forma este trabalho teve por objetivo produzir painéis arquitetônicos para forro, utilizando resíduos provenientes da agroindústria (casca de arroz, fibra de coco e polipropileno) e que foram aplicados em um protótipo para os aviários. Para avaliação dos painéis produzidos foram realizados os ensaios de propriedades físico-mecânicos e térmicos, de acordo com a norma NBR 14810 (2013), e selecionado o tratamento com 50% polipropileno + 30% casca de arroz + 20 fibra de coco. Foi avaliado o desempenho dos painéis aplicados nos protótipos como galpões em escala reduzida, situados na Faculdade de Ciências Engenharia, UNESP (Tupã) onde o clima da região é tipo Cwa (Clima tropical de altitude) segundo a classificação de Köppen, estação seca bem definida durante o inverno. A avaliação destas instalações demostraram que o uso do forro com o material proposto atingiu as faixas de termoneutralidade e de conforto térmico para aves com três semanas de vida em dois horários (12h e 16h), complementando com a análise termográfica, onde constatou valores médios superiores em 10,6°C para a instalação sem forro, comprovando o isolamento térmico para a instalação com forro.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a Fragilidade Ambiental Potencial e Emergente da bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Paraíso (SP), através da utilização de imagem de satélite LANDSAT 8 do ano de 2016 em ambiente SIG. Esta área tem grande importância por possuir suas principais nascentes à montante com participação de 67% no abastecimento para o consumo humano do município de São Manuel-SP, com o desenvolvimento de suas atividades econômicas voltadas à agricultura e pecuária. Utilizou-se a metodologia proposta por Ross (1994, 2012), onde definiu a fragilidade dos ambientes naturais e antropizados, com algumas adaptações diante da combinação de algumas variáveis ambientais, utilizando planos de informações como declividade, solo, cobertura e uso da terra. Baseados em 5 (cinco) diferentes níveis de capacidade desses ambientes em resistir à degradação, que respondem de diferentes maneiras às intervenções humanas, variaram de 1 a 5 ou seja, do mais fraco ao mais forte para declividades e solos (sendo: muito baixa à muito alta), ou do mais protegido para o menos protegido no caso da cobertura e uso da terra (sendo: muito alta à muito baixa). A análise integrada das variáveis utilizadas, mostraram além das potencialidades e limitações, importantes resultados sobre os ambientes naturais e antropizados, definindo áreas mais frágeis merecendo maior atenção e possibilitando uma orientação para um desenvolvimento sustentável e subsídios à gestão do território.

Influence of some ecological variables on wild mushroom (Boletus edulis) productivity
Authors: MUMCU KÜÇÜKER Derya
Published: January 2019

Wild mushrooms, Boletus edulis in particular are among the most important non-wood forest products (NWFPs) all over the world due to their nutritional, medicinal, ecological and recreational importance. Increasing socioeconomic value of wild mushrooms is made consider these products as an alternative for timber. Integrating mushroom-based ecosystem services into sustainable forest management plans requires understanding of the relationships between mushroom yields and its ecological drivers. This study evaluated the influence of some ecological variables such as slope, aspect and altitude on the productivity of wild mushroom, Boletus edulis. Mushroom data was collected from 75 permanent plots in Bicik planning unit covered by mixed even aged forest. Significant differences were found among aspect and slope classes whereas there were no differences among elevation classes with one-way ANOVA analysis. According to the results lower mushroom productivity was found in the areas of north aspects or slopes between 20-30% with 6.5 kg/ha-116.7unit/ha and 33 kg/ha-333.3unit/ha respectively than the other aspect and slope groups. This study showed that to obtain general knowledge relating to the effects of more ecological factors on mushroom productivity further research efforts is needed for all valued wild mushrooms, in the different ecosystems.
