Việc sử dụng thân cây chuối để làm giá thể trồng rau sẽ giúp cho người dân tận dụng được nguồn phế thải tại chỗ, tiết kiệm chi phí, phù hợp với xu hướng nông nghiệp phát triển bền vững. Thí nghiệm được bố trí trong chậu hoàn toàn ngẫu nhiên với 8 nghiệm thức và 3 lần lặp lại cho mỗi nghiệm thức. Thời gian theo dõi 15 ngày từ lúc gieo hạt. Kết quả thí nghiệm cho thấy, cây cải xà lách có khả năng nẩy mầm tốt nhất trên tất cả các giá thể trong nghiên cứu, ngoại trừ giá thể thân cây chuối khô (P<0,05). Trong các giá thể cho sự nẩy mầm của cải xà lách thì giá thể thân cây chuối tươi cho sự nẩy mầm đạt cao nhất (>88%). Chiều cao của rau mầm đạt cao nhất trên giá thể đất và thân chuối tươi (9,95cm) và thấp nhất là giá thể xơ dừa (4,97cm). Khối lượng tươi và khô cải xà lách cũng đạt cao nhất trên giá thể đất và thân chuối tươi (10,3 g tươi và 0,86 g khô), đạt thấp nhất là nghiệm thức đất với giá trị lần lượt là (4,91 g và 0,04 g). Qua nghiên cứu cho thấy việc sử dụng thân cây chuối tươi làm giá thể đã mang lại nhiều hiệu quả trong việc bổ sung thêm nguồn giá thể mới trong sản xuất vừa giải quyết được vấn đề ô nhiễm từ phụ phế phẩm nông nghiệp hiện nay.

Published: October 2024

Цель. Оценить прогностическое значение экспрессии FoxP3 в иммунном инфильтрате первичной меланомы хориоидеи. Материалы и методы. Включено 50 пациентов с диагнозом «меланома хориоидеи». Выполнялось гистологическое исследование, а также иммуногистохимическое окрашивание образцов опухоли с антителами к FoxP3, CD3, CD68, CD34. Методом регрессионного анализа оценивалась взаимосвязь гистологических характеристик, характеристик опухолевого микроокружения, микрососудистого русла и показателей выживаемости. Результаты. Выживаемость без прогрессирования статистически значимо связана с категорией рТ (ОР 1,5 95% ДИ 1,1–3,3, р=0,04) соотношением CD3/СD68 >1 (ОР 7,9 95% ДИ 1,6–37,4, р=0,009) и соотношением FoxP3/СD3 >0,5 (ОР 6,9 95% ДИ 1,1–20,0, р=0,04). Медиана выживаемости в группе FoxP3/СD3 >0,5 составила 51 месяц, медиана выживаемости в группе FoxP3/СD3 <0,5 не достигнута. Выводы. Высокое содержание FoxP3-позитивных Т-регуляторных клеток в составе иммунного инфильтрата является неблагоприятным прогностическим фактором при первичной меланоме хориоидеи. Риск прогрессирования заболевания при соотношении FoxP3/СD3 ≥0,5 в 6,9 раза выше по сравнению с опухолями с низким содержанием Т-регуляторных лимфоцитов.

Purpose. To evaluate the prognostic value of FoxP3 expression in the immune infiltrate of primary choroidal melanoma. Materials and methods. Included 50 patients diagnosed with primary choroidal melanoma. Histological examination was performed, as well as immunohistochemical staining of tumor samples with antibodies to FoxP3, CD3, CD68, CD34. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between histological characteristics, characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, microvascular bed and survival rates. Results. Progression-free survival was statistically significantly associated with the pT category (HR 1.5 95% CI 1.1–3.3, p=0.04) CD3/CD68 ratio more than 1 (HR 7.9 95% CI 1.6–37.4, p=0.009) and FoxP3/CD3 ratio more than 0.5 (RR 6.9 95% CI 1.1–20.0, p=0.04). The median progression free survival in the FoxP3/CD3 group greater than 0.5 was 51 months; the median progression free survival in the FoxP3/CD3 group less than 0.5 was not reached. Conclusions. A high content of FoxP3-positive T-regulatory cells in the immune infiltrate is an unfavorable prognostic factor in primary choroidal melanoma. The risk of disease progression with a FoxP3/CD3 ratio ≥0.5 is 6.9 times was higher compared to tumors with a low content of T-regulatory lymphocytes in the tumor infiltrate.

Published: October 2024

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are significant agricultural pests worldwide, primarily because they act as vectors for various plant viruses, including geminiviruses. Additionally, whitefly activity fosters the development of fungal colonies, such as sooty mold (Capnodium spp.), which grows on the sugary secretions (honeydew) produced by these insects. The presence of sooty mold reduces the plant’s photosynthetic capacity, further worsening the negative impact on its growth and development. Together, these factors make whitefly control a challenge for farmers, who must implement integrated pest management strategies to mitigate both the direct damage and the associated diseases that whiteflies can spread. Although approximately 1,200 species of whiteflies have been described, fewer than 40 are considered primary pests, with Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood, 1889) responsible for the greatest agricultural losses worldwide. The emergence of B. tabaci biotypes has prompted significant research, as these biotypes have been linked to economic damage to crops in several nations of the Americas, including Argentina and Brazil. In Paraguay, there is a need to identify local biotypes of B. tabaci led to the collection of whitefly samples from soybean plots in Capitán Miranda and Natalio, Itapúa, Paraguay. DNA was extracted using the Wizard genomic purification kit, followed by PCR amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) region using specific primers for B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum. Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the presence of B and Q biotypes of B. tabaci in both Paraguayan locations, with no detection of T. vaporariorum. Sequencing of the PCR products revealed a 100% match with known sequences for B. tabaci and its biotypes, as confirmed by GenBank BLAST analysis. This research highlights the critical importance of continuously monitoring the population dynamics and geographical distribution of different biotypes. While the expansion of a polyphagous and dynamic pest like the whitefly cannot always be prevented, constant monitoring enables early detection of its spread and allows for the adjustment of management strategies tailored to each region. These measures will not eliminate the pest but will help mitigate damage and manage the problem sustainably and efficiently. The study also emphasizes the need to the effectiveness of insecticides, as resistance has been reported in other countries—an issue not yet explored in Paraguay.
gênero da máscara
Authors: Junior Ribamar José de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, discuto a relação entre máscara e gênero a partir do Reisado de Caretas da Família Ramos no assentamento de Ipueira da Vaca, distrito de Targinos, zona rural da cidade de Canindé, no interior do Ceará. Para isso, trago uma das passagens da cartografia das dissidências sexuais e de gênero que desenvolvi durante oito anos pelas performances da tradição no estado, destacando o meu encontro em 2023 com o brincante Márcio Ramos, que perfaz na quarta geração do grupo que surgiu em meados de 1920 no sertão cearense. Através dos saberes trans busco centralizar o gênero como forma de questionar toda uma linhagem masculina, heterossexual e cisgênera que parece ser naturalizada nos enredos da tradição, principalmente no sentido de queerizar a noção de teatro como encantamento. Afinal, quando o brincante Márcio Ramos refaz a máscara do avô, Nel Ramos, ele parece refazer a partir do seu próprio gênero, perpetuando tradições por meioda “desfiguração” das figuras da cena que mostra a encantaria como um tipo de mascaramento performativo.

Authors: BWANA Kembo M. , MOSES Baleke
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of credit reference bureau (CRB) procedures on the performance of loan portfolios at selected commercial banks in Tanzania. A cross-sectional research design was adopted, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews involving 95 respondents from selected commercial banks. The findings show that the procedure to accessing loans had a positive and significant relationship with loan portfolio performance at these banks (β = 0.835, p = 0.000), as did loan approval procedures (β = 0.789, p = 0.001) and quality control procedures (β = 0.768; p = 0.002). All were significant at 5% level. The study concludes that using credit reference bureau services allows banks and other credit providers to assess potential clients, track their financial performance, and manage any accumulated debts. The study recommends that the government of Tanzania work closely with listed commercial banks and other financial institutions to ensure compliance with legal requirements specifically policies and procedures that assist in screening and monitoring clients from the initial stage of lending by using credit reference bureau procedures to improve decisions on loan provision.
THE REVALUATION POTENTIAL OF UKRAINIAN AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS IN THE CONTEXT OF MARTIAL LAW AND POST-WAR RECOVERY
Authors: KOVALENKO Victoria , SHELUDKO Serhii
Published: October 2024

The paper highlights the immediate and delayed impact of certain factors on the exchange rate dynamics in Ukraine. It is proved that exports of food products and raw materials for their production can significantly strengthen the national currency in the long run. Continuous growth in food exports helps to slow down exchange rate appreciation, which ultimately leads to a stronger national currency. Thus, a strategy of focusing on increasing food exports can play an important role in strengthening the Ukrainian currency in the long run, having a positive impact on exchange rate dynamics and contributing to overall economic stability. The study reveals the understanding of the complex relationship between war, food security, and economic stability. Furthermore, the analysis adds a new dimension to the debate on the strategic importance of the agricultural sector for foreign exchange reserves and foreign exchange accumulation. Understanding the relationship between export volumes, world prices, and exchange rate fluctua tions can help to better predict and manage currency fluctuations and to determine the extent to which Ukraine’s revolving fund capacity can be built.

Published: October 2024

This study explores how gallium nitride (GaN) surface polarity affects the optical properties and surface potential of MoS2. Using Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Kelvin force microscopy (KFM), significant electron doping (∼1014 cm−2) was observed in MoS2 on N-face GaN compared to Ga-face. photoluminescence spectra and the small contact potential difference of ∼30 mV measured by KFM provided evidence for polarity-dependent different doping levels. Additionally, KFM measurements also suggested a small band bending difference between Ga- and N-face GaN, likely due to interactions at the GaN/MoS2 interface. This heavy doping contributes to the improved valley polarization of N-face GaN.

Published: October 2024

Gölbaşı Flats, a wetland located in Ankara (Turkey), has been neglected and mismanaged for decades. Surrounded by human activities encroaching on its area, it has received high amounts of pollution, and its ecosystem is now degraded. Works on a restoration project for the area started in 2023, aiming to radically transform the interactions between the wetland and the city: from an open-access natural resource used primarily as landfill to an area in which both the freshwater ecosystem and human activities can coexist. While this project is presented as an improvement from an ecological viewpoint, it nonetheless attracted criticism from environmentalists who claimed that it gave too much space to recreational activities, lacked a clear management plan and would still be detrimental to the ecosystem. While urban green areas designed around good ecological practices may become essential for maintaining biodiversity in an increasingly urbanized world, this article points to the difficulty of finding a new equilibrium between the artificial and the natural in the densely populated capital city of Ankara, particularly in a middle-income country where post-materialist and environmentalist concerns are not yet dominant.
Attachment Proceedings for Goods Onboard an Aircraft: A Closer Look at the OHADA Law on Simplified Recovery Procedures and Measures of Execution
Authors: Atemlefac Atemnkeng Micheal
Published: October 2024

The practical application of international conventions like the Montreal Convention of 1999 and the OHADA Uniform Act of 2023 in the context of attaching goods onboard aircraft presents significant challenges. These frameworks do not explicitly address the attachment of such goods, focusing instead on liability and recovery procedures. The OHADA Uniform Act aims to simplify recovery processes but may struggle with conflicting national regulations and regional legal practices. The absence of specific legislation for attaching goods in-flight creates a critical gap, leading to uncertainty and inefficiency in enforcement. Addressing this gap in this paper requires developing targeted legal solutions that align with international standards while addressing the unique demand of air transport.

A desmedicalização do parto tem sido amplamente discutida nas últimas décadas, impulsionada pelo interesse crescente em práticas que respeitem a fisiologia do nascimento e as escolhas das mulheres. Este artigo de revisão busca analisar de forma crítica as diferentes abordagens do parto natural, com ênfase em partos domiciliares e em casas de parto, em comparação ao parto hospitalar, tradicionalmente mais medicalizado. A partir de uma análise detalhada da literatura científica, são discutidos os benefícios e os desafios de cada modalidade, considerando a proposta de desmedicalização do parto como uma estratégia para melhorar os resultados maternos e neonatais. Estudos indicam que o parto natural, quando realizado em gestações de baixo risco e sob a supervisão de profissionais qualificados, pode resultar em menores taxas de intervenções obstétricas, como cesarianas e episiotomias, além de proporcionar maior satisfação materna. O ambiente domiciliar ou em casas de parto tende a favorecer uma experiência de parto mais autônoma e humanizada, associada a melhores desfechos psicológicos, como menor risco de depressão pós-parto e trauma relacionado ao nascimento. Em contrapartida, o parto hospitalar permanece fundamental para a segurança em situações de alto risco ou complicações inesperadas, oferecendo recursos imediatos para intervenções emergenciais. A revisão sugere que a desmedicalização do parto pode ser uma estratégia vantajosa para mulheres de baixo risco, desde que inserida em um contexto de suporte adequado e com sistemas de saúde preparados para transferências emergenciais. A escolha informada e respeitosa sobre o local de parto deve ser central no cuidado obstétrico, equilibrando os benefícios da tecnologia médica com o respeito à fisiologia do nascimento e à autonomia da mulher.

Published: October 2024

Diante das contradições do sistema capitalista, marcado por desigualdades sociais, competição desenfreada e intensa exploração dos recursos naturais, vem ganhando atenção a busca por alternativas econômicas que amenizem tais desigualdades e promovam inclusão social e financeira.  Essa pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar a relação entre algumas práticas dessas novas formas de economia. Sendo assim, busca-se analisar como os princípios, dimensões e características da inovação social (IS), de economia circular (EC) e de empreendedorismo social (ES) têm sido incorporadas nas ações dos Bancos Comunitários de Desenvolvimento para que esse modelo de finanças solidárias atinja seus objetivos. Para tal, utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 07 gestores de bancos comunitários. O roteiro foi composto por 40 questões, aplicadas entre outro e novembro de 2023 e entre distribuídas em 05 grandes categorias. Já a análise interpretativa do corpus se deu pelo uso da Análise de Conteúdo. Foi possível concluir que os bancos não se limitam ao enquadramento de iniciativas de economia solidária. Tais organizações, se enquadram como uma inovação social, incorporam princípios de empreendedorismo social e se preocupam em realizar práticas características de economia circular. O trabalho faz-se relevante ao contribuir para uma aproximação entre os conceitos dessas novas formas de economia, bem como uma maior integração entre as iniciativas, contribuindo também para o aperfeiçoando das ações já existentes através da incorporação de novas práticas.

The relevance of issues related to enterprise personnel management in the digital economy is determined by several key factors that reflect modern trends and challenges in the business world. First, with the development of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data (Big Data), cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), business structures are forced to adapt to new conditions. Digital transformation permeates all aspects of enterprise activity, including personnel management. This creates a need for new approaches and opens exciting opportunities for organizing work and improving efficiency and productivity by introducing digital tools. Although both Ukrainian and foreign scientists have devoted their work to studying issues in personnel management, various aspects, including the existing problems of personnel management in the digital economy, require further research, considering modern business conditions. The digital economy has been proven to impact traditional sectors such as industry, services, trade, and public administration. It helps to accelerate innovation, increase labor productivity, and stimulate economic growth, but it also poses new challenges to society, particularly about data security, privacy, and regulation. It is emphasized that the organizational and economic support of the company’s personnel management in the digital economy requires a comprehensive approach that combines technological innovations, changes in the organizational structure, and new models of economic management. Integrating these elements is essential to ensure the enterprise’s competitiveness in the market. The main components of providing personnel management for the enterprise in the digital economy are substantiated (organizational changes, economic support, digital tools of personnel management, motivation and development of personnel, risk management). Keywords: enterprise, personnel management, digital economy, digital technologies, digital skills, efficiency, software.

Redefining Science for Sustainable Development the Nexus of Endogenous Knowledge Systems and Scientific Paradigms
Authors: - Hakim Abdallah
Published: October 2024

This article explores the integration of Western scientific paradigms and endogenous knowledge systems as a pathway to more inclusive and sustainable development. While Western science, rooted in positivism and empiricism, has driven technological progress, it often overlooks the socio-cultural and ecological contexts specific to local communities, particularly in the Global South. Endogenous knowledge, with its holistic and relational approaches, provides valuable insights for sustainable development. Through a theoretical and conceptual analysis, this paper advocates for epistemological pluralism, which fosters the co-production of knowledge across disciplines and cultures. The study also examines the decolonisation of science, addressing the historical marginalisation of indigenous knowledge and proposing institutional reforms that validate these systems in mainstream development practices. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and participatory research to ensure local communities play an active role in shaping sustainable development strategies. The findings emphasise the need for policy shifts, interdisciplinary research, and institutional changes to ensure equitable inclusion of indigenous knowledge in global sustainability agendas, offering a more culturally sensitive and resilient approach to development.

Revision of Kneiffiella with segregation of Egonia gen. nov. (Hymenochaetales, Agaricomycetes): how similar morphology can hide taxonomic diversity in the molecular era
Authors: Viner I. , Larsson K.-H. , Spirin V. , Langer E. , Miettinen O.
Published: October 2024

DNA-based phylogenetic inference has shown that many morphological traits, once considered taxonomically relevant, are the result of convergent evolution. In this study, we analyze Kneiffiella, a genus of corticioid and polyporoid wood-inhabiting basidiomycetes in the order Hymenochaetales. A multi-gene-based phylogeny demonstrates that Kneiffiella is polyphyletic, and the new genus Egonia is established for K. cineracea and its relatives, despite their morphological similarity to other Kneiffiella species. Additionally, we present the best resolved phylogram of the Hymenochaetales to date. A revised circumscription of Kneiffiella is presented, as well as an overview of the 29 species accepted in the genus, including 10 new species. Three new species of Egonia are described, and H. subefibulata is placed in synonymy with K. subglobosa. A key to the species of Kneiffiella and Egonia is presented.
Growth, Poverty, and Food Policy in the Philippines: Lessons for the Post-COVID-19 Era

Published: October 2024

The Philippine economy’s growth has accelerated since 2010, outperforming its Asian peers in the current decade. However, poverty reduction is comparatively weak in response to growth, suggesting that growth has been less inclusive than expected. Poverty in the Philippines is still largely a rural phenomenon despite the country’s rapid urbanization. Our primary objective is to reexamine how much the national food policy has influenced the poverty-reducing effects of economic growth using the more recent national household-level data from 2000 to 2021. The longer-term data, including a period of mobility relaxation following long lockdowns upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, allow us to revisit the growth-poverty conundrum in the Philippines. We focus on the more recent decade of relatively sustained growth compared to earlier studies on the subject. We use Engel food shares as a proxy for household welfare and consider the differential welfare effects of food price changes across segments of the population. We show that economic growth in recent years would have been strongly pro-poor if not for the misguided set of policy tools chosen to achieve the food self-sufficiency goal. The government’s move to dismantle the quantitative restriction regime on rice imports in favor of tariffs is a step in the right direction.

Keterampilan membaca pemula harus dimiliki oleh siswa sekolah dasar untuk meningkatkan keterampilan membaca tingkat lanjut. Berdasarkan pengamatan yang dilakukan di SDN Kalipecabean, ditemukan bahwa siswa yang tidak bisa membaca sebanyak 17 persen. Berdasarkan permasalahan yang ada, maka kegiatan pendampingan bertujuan untuk membantu siswa yang mengalami masalah belajar menggunakan metode Orton Gillingham. Metode Orton Gillingham atau biasa dikenal dengan pendekatan auditori, visual, dan kinestetik, serta taktil merupakan metode yang berfokus pada hubungan struktur bunyi huruf, dimana setiap huruf dipelajari secara multisensori. Pendekatan yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). Dalam menggunakan metode PRA ini, keterlibatan mitra IPNU-IPPNU adalah sebagai tutor dalam kegiatan pendampingan belajar membaca awal. Hasil akhir kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa melalui kegiatan pendampingan membaca awal dengan metode Orton Gillingham terjadi peningkatan kemampuan membaca yang signifikan dari 30 persen menjadi 90 persen.
