Authors: Stonis Jonas R. , Diškus Arūnas , Remeikis Andrius , Lewis Owen T.
Published: November 2020

We report on fourteen species and four genera of Tischeriidae recorded from Las Cuevas, a single tropical forest locality in Belize, Central America. This is the highest number of species of Tischeriidae recorded from a single locality worldwide, exceeding the species and generic diversity of the entire Tischeriidae fauna of Europe and accounting for about 9% of the documented global fauna for this family. We describe and name six new species: Astrotischeria papilloma Diškus & Stonis sp. nov., mining on Lasianthaea fruticosa (L.) K.M.Becker (Asteraceae); A. scutifera Diškus & Stonis sp. nov., mining on Sida glabra Mill. (Malvaceae); A. basilobata Remeikis & Stonis sp. nov., mining on Lasianthaea fruticosa; Paratischeria robinsoni Diškus & Stonis sp. nov., mining on Otopappus verbesinoides Benth. (Asteraceae); P. tubifex Diškus & Stonis sp. nov., mining on Lasianthaea fruticosa; and P. belizensis Remeikis & Stonis sp. nov. (host plant unknown). Additionally, we review eight previously described species from the same period of collecting at Las Cuevas in 1997–1998: A. selvica Diškus, Carvalho-Filho & Stonis, 2018, mining on Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski and Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn. (Asteraceae); A. casila Diškus & Stonis, 2018, mining on Montanoa atriplicifolia (Pers.) Sch.Bip. (Asteraceae); A. furcata Diškus & Stonis, 2018 (host plant unknown); Paratischeria neotropicana (Diškus & Stonis, 2015), mining on Sida L. (Malvaceae), including S. rhombifolia L.; Dishkeya gouaniae (Stonis & Diškus, 2007), mining on Gouania polygama (Jacq.) Urb. (Rhamnaceae); Coptotriche pulverea (Walsingham, 1897), mining on Terminalia amazonia (J.F.Gmel.) Exell (Combretaceae); C. forsteroniae Stonis & Diškus, 2008, mining on Forsteronia myriantha Donn Sm. (Apocynaceae); and C. singularis Stonis & Diškus, 2008 (host plant unknown). All taxa, except for C. singularis, are illustrated with photographs of the adults and their genitalia. We also briefly discuss the discovery of some novel characters for Astrotischeria Puplesis & Diškus, 2003 and Paratischeria Diškus & Stonis, 2017, Tischeriidae, and provide the first photographic documentation of Coptotriche pulverea and C. forsteroniae.

Published: November 2020

Introduction Healthcare systems are developed in imperfect scenarios, in which there are constant failures (uncertainty, information asymmetry, agency relationship problem, and supply-induced demand). These failures, based on the imperfection of the sector, determine the relationships and incentives between the actors. It is within this context that payment mechanisms regulate aspects of the system behavior and incentives, acting as instruments for the purchasing of health care from providers, mediated by health insurance on behalf of users. Objective To characterize the basic elements of most frequent payment mechanisms to help providers in their relationship with payers. Methods A review of the evidence was conducted in PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and strategic snowball selection. Payment mechanisms consist of three classical microeconomics variables, fixed or variable: price, quantity, and expense. Time dimensions are used to analyze their attributes and effects. Different mechanisms emerge from the combination of these variables. Results Among the most used are: Fee-For-Service, Global Budget, Bundled Payments, Diagnosis-Related Groups, Per-capita, Performance Pay, and Risk-Sharing Agreements. A fourth has also gained importance: Financial Risk. Conclusions Payment mechanisms are essential to link health efforts with clinical practice. They make it possible to regulate relationships between insurers, providers, and users, which, depending on the architecture of the mechanism, can become beneficial or hinder the fulfillment of the objectives of the health system.
A sombra da discriminação e as barreiras de gênero no cotidiano de mulheres com deficiência na universidade
Authors: Souza da Silva Jackeline Susann
Published: November 2020

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado sobre a experiência de uma estudante surda matriculada em uma universidade pública brasileira. A interface deficiência e gênero, na educação superior, é inexplorada na literatura acadêmica, por isso as barreiras contra as mulheres com deficiência na universidade ainda estão encobertas. Deste modo, é necessário dar visibilidade ao tema para pôr em prática, de modo interseccional, o sentido da igualdade de oportunidade. Os dados coletados, neste estudo, são resultados do uso de entrevista semiestruturada e da técnica de sombreamento que, aos quais permitiram a imersão da investigadora no cotidiano universitário da jovem participante. Os principais achados demonstram que as mulheres com deficiência encontram diferentes obstáculos para ingressar e permanecer no curso superior. Esses obstáculos não se restringem ao espaço acadêmico, pois iniciam na própria história de vida dessas mulheres. Chama atenção o fato de que a ideia coletiva de superação da deficiência acaba tornando-se uma armadilha que coloca o êxito ou o fracasso acadêmico no plano individual e, por isso, camufla a responsabilidade que a instituição deve assumir com relação às mudanças para a acessibilidade e equidade de gênero.
Constituição e atravessamentos de uma escola referência em educação bilíngue para surdos
Authors: Da Silva Gabe Neoli Paulina , Mathias Carmen Vieira
Published: November 2020

Este artigo de cunho bibliográfico tem como objetivo caracterizar o ambiente que deu origem à pesquisa, isto é, uma escola de surdos e ouvintes. Nessa instituição, o ensino fundamental é dividido em duas modalidades, a saber, as turmas regulares de ouvintes e as turmas em classes especiais. Nesse segundo caso, as aulas são bilíngues, ou seja, ministradas, exclusivamente, para alunos surdos, em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS), por professores fluentes nessa língua. Nas classes bilíngues, a 1ª língua é a Libras, na modalidade gestual/visual, e a 2ª língua é o português escrito. Neste artigo, são elencados os atravessamentos que a instituição passou para manter as classes bilíngues no ensino fundamental, isto é, o mínimo que a comunidade surda almeja para garantir seus direitos. O artigo também constitui uma síntese da história da educação de surdos e do processo de formação dos profissionais que atuam nessa instituição referência em educação de surdos.
Desafios da inclusão: a invisibilidade das pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista no ensino superior
Authors: Aguilar Claudia Paola Carrasco , Rauli Patricia Forte
Published: November 2020

Autistas tem chegado ao ensino superior e se deparado com desafios. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar, do ponto de vista do estudante com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) o processo de adaptação à universidade, as dificuldades enfrentadas, as estratégias utilizadas e os recursos oferecidos pelas universidades. A pesquisa, qualitativa exploratório descritiva, foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em Seres Humanos e realizada através de três Grupos Focais com autistas que frequentaram o ensino superior. Os resultados apontaram que, na adaptação à universidade, enfrentaram dificuldades relacionadas ao estigma, ao desconhecimento do TEA por parte da comunidade acadêmica, além de dificuldades causadas pelas características próprias do TEA, como a sobrecarga sensorial e emocional. Como estratégia de adaptação três participantes optaram por comunicar o diagnóstico à instituição de ensino superior, quatro relataram preferir que o diagnóstico não fosse revelado. Os participantes relataram dificuldades para obter adaptações didático-pedagógicas, apesar da existência de núcleos com essa finalidade. Apesar de cada autista demandar intervenções específicas, a IES necessita construir mecanismos que o acolham e favoreçam o processo de inclusão. Medidas universais, disponíveis a todo o corpo acadêmico, com foco em promover a equidade, defender e valorizar a diversidade e educar a comunidade do campus fornecendo informações sobre o TEA são necessárias não apenas para a inclusão do autista, mas para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa para todos.
Terminalidade Específica nos Institutos Federais: um panorama
Authors: Oliveira Wanessa Moreira de , Delou Cristina Maria Carvalho
Published: November 2020

O presente estudo propõe-se a discutir a questão da Terminalidade Específica (TE) para estudantes com deficiência intelectual/múltipla, prevista na política educacional, com o intuito de investigar sua adoção no âmbito dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs). Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio de documentos que constam nos sites oficiais e informações disponibilizadas pelos IFs no Sistema Eletrônico do Serviço de Informação ao Cidadão. Os dados foram explorados por meio da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Após o levantamento das previsões normativas da TE e dos documentos e informações dos IFs, foi realizada pré-análise documental, através da qual identificaram-se duas categorias de organização temática do estudo. Dos 38 IFs pesquisados, foram identificadas práticas inclusivas documentadas em 34, regulamentação da TE em 13 e certificação de estudantes por TE em 6 IFs. As discussões indicaram compreensões dúbias sobre a TE. Os resultados evidenciaram que, apesar de poucos IFs terem regulamentado e/ou aplicado a TE, eles a têm assumido para a conclusão de uma etapa formativa profissional, declarando apenas as habilidades e competências alcançadas, na perspectiva de uma atuação profissional possível, mostrando à sociedade a incompletude da formação técnica profissional. Nesse sentido, ressalta-se a necessidade de promover mais discussões acerca do tema, assim como de estabelecer o papel que a TE deve ter na Educação Especial, considerando a Declaração de Incheon e a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão, que preveem educação ao longo da vida.

Daniel Bensaïd, le pari mélancolique.
Authors: Löwy Michael
Published: November 2020

Parmi les mérites de Daniel Bensaïd figure en bonne place celui d’avoir introduit dans le lexique marxiste un concept nouveau : la bifurcation. Certes, Rosa Luxemburg avait déjà parlé, dans la Brochure Junius de 1915, de socialisme ou barbarie. Mais la démarche de Bensaid va plus loin. Sa relecture de Marx, à la lumière de Blanqui, de Benjamin et de Charles Péguy, le conduit à concevoir l’histoire comme une suite d’embranchements et de bifurcations, un champ de possibles où la lutte des classes occupe une place décisive, mais dont l’issue est imprévisible. Réfractaire au déroulement causal des faits ordinaires, la revolution est interruption. Elle n’est pas garantie par les « lois de l’histoire » et doit faire l’objet d’un pari, au sens pascalien, revu et corrigé par le marxiste Lucien Goldmann, lui même revue et corrigé par le marxiste Daniel Bensaïd.
Responsabilidade social universitária sob a ótica da autoavaliação de um instituto federal de educação
Authors: Lima Marcos Antonio Martins , Sousa Ana Cléa Gomes de , Lima Ana Paula de Sousa , Loyola Tamara Correia
Published: November 2020

Neste texto se analisa a responsabilidade social numa unidade da rede federal de educação profissional, científica e tecnológica, no período de 2009 a 2017, a partir dos relatórios emitidos pela comissão própria de avaliação. A abordagem metodológica é qualitativa descritiva, do tipo estudo de caso, cuja categoria teórica é a responsabilidade social universitária. Para tanto, realizou-se análise documental da unidade retratada em uma amostra composta por oito peças selecionadas por meio da aplicação dos critérios de autenticidade, credibilidade, representatividade e significação. O estudo evidencia, dentre outros, que, embora tenham sido identificados vínculos imediatos entre a responsabilidade social universitária, o Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior - Sinaes - e a missão da instituição, ao passo que os relatórios de autoavaliação mapeados apontam fragilidades em temas como inclusão social, política para o meio ambiente e preservação do patrimônio histórico e cultural, há necessidade de avaliar os projetos de extensão realizados no período de 2013 a 2017, tendo em vista que as ações extensionistas são vetores para a responsabilidade social universitária.Palavras-chave: responsabilidade social universitária; Sinaes; autoavaliação.

The authors developed the design of a special multi-blade rotary-friction tool. The multi-blade rotary-friction tool is equipped with two cupped cutters - heating and cutting. The heating cupped cutter is made of medium-carbon structural steel of any brand, and the cutting cupped cutter is made of steel R6M5. The final formation of the treated surface and its quality is provided by the cutting cupped cutter. This article presents the results of the calculation of the strength of the cutting cupped cutter multi-blade rotary friction tool.As a result, the following were established: when processing steels 30HGSA cutting force components reach the maximum value than when processing materials 40HN2MA, St.45, and St.3c (calm); strength and rigidity of the cutting cupped cutter is sufficient for processing optimal cutting conditions: nsp = 1000 rpm; S = 0.42 mm/rot; t = 1.0 mm.
“I feel your pain”: The effect of displaying empathy on political candidate evaluation
Authors: Renstrom Randall A. , Ottati Victor C.
Published: November 2020

Two experiments demonstrate that highly empathetic messages conveyed by a political candidate produce more favorable attitudes and increase the likelihood individuals will vote for the political candidate. Study 1 revealed this Empathetic Communication Effect is stronger among female political candidates than male. Compared to male candidates, female candidates are evaluated more positively when they engage in empathetic language but are more harshly penalized when they fail to display empathy. An analogous pattern emerged for candidate party in Study 2. Namely, the Empathetic Communication Effect is stronger among Democratic political candidates than Republican political candidates. Results also explore the impact of empathetic rhetoric on perceptions of candidates’ socio-emotionality and instrumentality.

Bolezni perikarda so lahko izoliran bolezenski proces, ali pa so del sistemskih bolezenskih stanj. V zahodnem svetu, kjer je prevalenca tuberkuloze nizka, je perikarditis najpogosteje povezan z virusnimi okužbami, avtoimunskimi procesi ali pa malignomi. Glede na klinično sliko lahko bolezni perikarda razdelimo v nekaj glavnih sindromov: perikarditis, izoliran perikardni izliv, tamponada srca, konstrikcijski perikarditis in mase/ciste v perikardu. Zadnje smernice Evropskega kardiološkega združenja prinašajo nekaj novosti na področju triažiranja in diagnosticiranja bolnikov z boleznimi perikarda, predvsem pa se jasneje opredelijo do strategij zdravljenja posameznih perikardnih sindromov. Članek povzema evropske smernice in vključuje prilagoditve za naše razmere.

Published: November 2020

Identification of the toxicity of compounds is more crucial before entering clinical trials. Awareness of physiochemical properties, possible targets and side effects has become a major public health issue to reduce risks. Experimental determination of analyzing the physiochemical properties of a drug, their interaction with specific receptors and identifying their side-effects remain challenging is time consuming and costly. We describe a manually compiled database named DaiCee database, which contains 2100 anticancer drugs with information on their physiochemical properties, targets of action and side effects. It includes both synthetic and herbal anti-cancer compounds. It allows the search for SMILES notation, Lipinski’s and ADME/T properties, targets and side effect profiles of the drugs. This helps to identify drugs with effective anticancer properties, their toxic nature, drug-likeness for in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. It also used for comparative analysis and screening of effective anticancer drugs using available data for compounds in the database. The database will be updated regularly to provide the users with latest information. The database is available at the URL http://www.hccbif.org/usersearch.php

Salt-Bridges in the Microenvironment of Stable Protein Structures
Authors:   Department of Biotechnology, University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India, Bandyopadhyay Amal Kumar
Published: November 2020

Salt-bridges (sb) play an important role in the folding and stability of proteins. This is deduced from the evaluation of net energy in the microenvironments (ME, residues that are 4Å away from positive and negative partners of salt-bridge and interact with them). ME’s act as a determinant of net-energy due to the intrinsic features by the sequence. The stability of extremophilic proteins is due to the presence of favorable residues at the ME without any unfavorable residues. We studied a dataset of four structures from the pdb and a homology model (PDB ID: 1HM5) to gain insights on this issue. Data shows that the presence of isolated charges and polar residues in the core of extremophilic proteins helps in the formation of stable salt-bridges with reduced desolvation. Thus, site-specific mutations with favorable residues at the ME will help develop thermo stable proteins with strong salt bridges.
Making Sense of Rewards-Based Crowdfunding: Understanding the Lived Experience of Nascent Entrepreneurs
Authors:   , Green Emma Claire
Published: November 2020

Rewards-Based Crowdfunding has recently received increasing academic attention. It has been conceptualised as a source of finance that has reshaped the funding cycle. However, little is known about the lived experience of entrepreneurs using it to start a venture. In comparison to other, more traditional sources of finance, the monetary values raised are relatively small, and successful campaigns rely on a wide network of contacts on social media, who act co-creatively. Moreover, empirical research has largely used data collected by online platforms, resulting in a narrow focus on campaign success, rather than insights into enactment of the phenomenon. Therefore, research on the lived experience of entrepreneurs engaged in this phenomenon can contribute strongly to the advancement of the field. Drawing on six cases in the UK, this thesis employs an interpretivist, hermeneutic approach, adopting a sensemaking lens. Utilising in-depth interviews, online archival research and combined with the hermeneutic preunderstandings of the researcher, the study sought to gain rich insights into the phenomenon. The findings identify insights in three specific themes; (1) multi-dimensional aspirations, (2) complementary resourcing and (3) the practice of ‘entrepreneuring’. Further, from the hermeneutic consideration of the whole phenomenon, three approaches of seeking; (1) alignment, (2) sufficiency, and (3) flexibility, comprise key influencers in enacting their ventures using the phenomenon. The entrepreneurs have leveraged Rewards-Based Crowdfunding to acquire patient cashflow, market-traction and “marketing potential of persuasion” capital resources, hybrid activities which complement financial resources. Further, the findings show that the entrepreneurs leveraged alignment to increase the speed of tie formation and their ties are complex and dynamic. The identification of such approaches are significant theoretical contributions the thesis makes to resource theory, network tie theory and the broader Rewards-Based Crowdfunding literature. Furthermore, the study makes a general contribution to the study of the lived experience of entrepreneurial venture enactment. Future research should build on the insights, taking a contextual approach.

Authors: Hattouti1 Jamila
Published: November 2020

L’objectif principal de cette revue de la littérature est de présenter une synthèse des études traitant des déficits cognitifs dans les Troubles du Spectre de l’Alcoolisation Foetale (TSAF). Son second objectif est d’offrir aux psychologues une base de données afin de les guider dans l’évaluation de ces déficits. Les études ont été sélectionnées en s’appuyant sur les bases de données internationales classiquement utilisées pour des recherches dans le domaine de la psychologie. Ces travaux mettent en évidence des déficits intellectuels, langagiers et exécutifs chez les individus atteints de TSAF. Cependant, les résultats observés divergent fréquemment d’une étude à l’autre et se heurtent à des facteurs confondants qui pourraient expliquer l’hétérogénéité des profils cognitifs observés.

Published: November 2020

Purpose: This study aims to assess the direction of changes in the extent of extreme, relative, and statutory poverty in 2008–2017 in Poland, along with the spatial differentiation of poverty in individual voivodships. Methodology: The study of poverty differentiation based on data from Household Budgets Survey. Obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis, using elements of multidimensional analysis. Results: The research revealed that there are significant differences in the level of poverty in individual voivodships, with lower values observed in Western Poland. A significant drop in the level of poverty, especially extreme poverty, was recorded in 2008–2017. Furthermore, fluctuations in the extent of poverty are strongly impacted by state policy. Implications: Research results may be useful to policy-makers at the local government level not only in Poland but also in other countries, mainly from the perspective of the European Union’s Europe 2020 strategy. Originality/Value: The article undertakes the topic of poverty, which constitutes an important and current socioeconomic concern. Despite progressive economic development, there still exist disadvantaged groups of entities and households.

Authors: Vorzhakova Yuliia , Boiarynova Kateryna
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The increasing role of digitalization in the operation of enterprises actualizes the implementation of the basic methods of proper digitalization processes. The selection of an appropriate method to introduce digitalization is crucial, as it affects the optimization level of the business processes. Methodology: Specific multicriteria selection method includes five steps to identify these approaches, considering the relative error for each approach, as it affects the outcome with the performance indicator of business process digitalization. The strongest criterion value is used to identify the optimal approach. The evaluation of the methods showed that the performance of the logistic, administrative, and innovative methods is not worse than the Pareto principle. Findings: Introducing digitalization in the administrative method has the biggest impact. The chosen method showed that Human Resources processes require modification to reduce costs. A mechanism to digitalize the personnel management processes using artificial intelligence was developed. Implications: The results of multivariate multicriteria analysis show that the implementation of artificial intelligence minimizes human factors and optimizes time and costs. Originality: The main contribution is the development of the method for the selection of an appropriate digitalization approach, which encompasses an implementation mechanism that can be adapted to enterprises’ needs.

CAUSAL REVERSIBILITY IN INDIVIDUAL TOKEN INTERPRETATION OF PETRI NETS
Authors: Benamira Adel
Published: November 2020

Causal reversibility in concurrent systems means that events that the origin of other events can only be undone after undoing of its consequences. In opposite to backtracking, the events which are independent of each other can be reversed in an arbitrary order, in the other words, we have flexible reversibility w.r.t the causality relation. An implementation of Individual token interpretation ofPetri Nets (IPNs) was been proposed by Rob Van Glabbeek et al, the present paper investigates into a study of causal reversibility within IPNs. Given N be an IPN, by adding an intuitive firing rule to undo transitions according to the causality relation, the coherence of N is assured, i.e., the set of all reachable states of N in the reversible version and that of the original one are identical. Furthermore, reversibility in N is flexible and their initial state can be accessible in reverse from any state. In this paper an approach for controllingcausal-reversibility within IPNs is proposed.
Tunnel Parsing with counted repetitions
Authors: Handzhiyski Nikolay , Somova Elena
Published: November 2020

The article describes a new and efficient algorithm for parsing, called Tunnel Parsing, that parses from left to right on the basis of a context-free grammar without left recursion and rules that recognize empty words. The algorithm is applicable mostly for domain-specific languages. In the article, particular attention is paid to the parsing of grammar element repetitions. As a result of the parsing, a statically typed concrete syntax tree is built from top to bottom, that accurately reflects the grammar. The parsing is not done through a recursion, but through an iteration. The Tunnel Parsing algorithm uses the grammars directly without a prior refactoring and is with a linear time complexity for deterministic context-free grammars.

Published: November 2020

Background: To compare pathogens involved in skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) and pedal osteomyelitis (OM) in patients with and without diabetes with puncture wounds to the foot.

Methods: We evaluated 113 consecutive patients between June 1, 2011, and March 31, 2019, with foot infection (SSTIs and OM) from a puncture injury sustained to the foot. Eighty-three patients had diabetes and 30 did not. We evaluated the bacterial pathogens in patients with SSTIs and pedal OM.

Results: Polymicrobial infections were more common in patients with diabetes mellitus (83.1% versus 53.3%; P = .001). The most common pathogen for SSTIs and OM in patients with diabetes was Staphylococcus aureus (SSTIs, 50.7%; OM, 32.3%), whereas in patients without diabetes it was Pseudomonas (25%) for SSTIs. Anaerobes (9.4%) and fungal infection (3.1%) were uncommon. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified in only 5.8% of people with diabetes.

Conclusions: The most common bacterial pathogen in both SSTIs and pedal OM was S aureus in patients with diabetes. Pseudomonas species was the most common pathogen in people without diabetes with SSTIs.
To Know the World
Authors: Thomashow Mitchell
Published: November 2020

Why environmental learning is crucial for understanding the connected challenges of climate justice, tribalism, inequity, democracy, and human flourishing.

How can we respond to the current planetary ecological emergency? In To Know the World, Mitchell Thomashow proposes that we revitalize, revisit, and reinvigorate how we think about our residency on Earth. First, we must understand that the major challenges of our time—migration, race, inequity, climate justice, and democracy—connect to the biosphere. Traditional environmental education has accomplished much, but it has not been able to stem the inexorable decline of global ecosystems. Thomashow, the former president of a college dedicated to sustainability, describes instead environmental learning, a term signifying that our relationship to the biosphere must be front and center in all aspects of our daily lives. In this illuminating book, he provides rationales, narratives, and approaches for doing just that.

Mixing memoir, theory, mindfulness, pedagogy, and compelling storytelling, Thomashow discusses how to navigate the Anthropocene's rapid pace of change without further separating psyche from biosphere; why we should understand migration both ecologically and culturally; how to achieve constructive connectivity in both social and ecological networks; and why we should take a cosmopolitan bioregionalism perspective that unites local and global. Throughout, Thomashow invites readers to participate as educational explorers, encouraging them to better understand how and why environmental learning is crucial to human flourishing.
Glosario para una pandemia: el ABC de los conceptos sobre el coronavirus
Authors: Botero-Rodríguez Felipe , Franco Oscar , Gómez Restrepo Carlos
Published: November 2020

Actualmente, el mundo se enfrenta a la pandemia generada por el SARS-CoV-2, infección para la cual no hay medidas farmacológicas de prevención ni tratamiento. Hasta el momento, ha dejado más de 4´880.000 casos confirmados y 322.000 muertes. Se han propuesto diferentes estrategias para el control de la enfermedad que implican la participación de diferentes sectores de la sociedad con acciones guiadas por lineamientos jurídicos y basados en medidas de salud pública, entre ellas, la contención, la mitigación, el aislamiento físico y la cuarentena. Dado que se trata de una situación de dimensión poblacional, la información tiene un papel fundamental; sin embargo, la proliferación de términos nuevos, muchas veces usados erróneamente, causa confusión y desinformacion y, en consecuencia, limitan la participacion ciudana.En ese contexto, en el presente documento se hizo una revisión de los términos utilizados en epidemias y pandemias de enfermedades infecciosas, con énfasis en la COVID-19, para facilitar al público general la comprensión de los términos relevantes sobre el comportamiento de los agentes patógenos y de su ciclo epidémico y pandémico, así como los criterios para la adopción de las decisiones pertinentes en salud pública.

Introducción. La infección por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 es una emergencia de salud pública en todo el mundo; su diagnóstico se basa en pruebas moleculares, en tanto que su pronóstico depende de los antecedentes del paciente y de algunos exámenes paraclínicos. En Colombia aún no se cuenta con datos de pronóstico en una población local.Objetivo. Evaluar los factores asociados con el desarrollo de la enfermedad grave en pacientes hospitalizados con diagnóstico de infección por SARS-CoV-2, así como los factores pronósticos de la mortalidad.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio de cohorte ambispectivo en pacientes hospitalizados en la Fundación Cardioinfantil entre marzo y junio de 2020.Resultados. De los 104 pacientes analizados, en el 31,7 % (n=33) la infección fue grave y en el 9,6 % (n=10) se produjo la muerte. El factor pronóstico más importante de la mortalidad fue el desarrollo de la enfermedad grave, seguido de una edad de más de 60 años y la desnutrición. Para el desarrollo de la enfermedad grave los factores pronósticos fueron los antecedentes de hemodiálisis (hazard ratio, HR=135), diabetes (HR=4,4) y el aumento en el nivel de la lactato deshidrogenasa (LDH) (HR=1,004), en tanto que un conteo de linfocitos superior a 1.064 fue un factor protector (HR=0,9). El puntaje del National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) correspondiente a las categorías de alto y bajo riesgo fue el que mejor rendimiento tuvo. No hubo diferencia entre los tratamientos administrados.Conclusiones. Los factores pronósticos más importantes para la mortalidad fueron tener más de 60 años, hipertensión, diabetes y cirrosis, en tanto que para el desarrollo de la enfermedad grave fueron la enfermedad renal crónica con hemodiálisis, un puntaje de NEWS2 de alto riesgo al ingreso, y aumento en los niveles de LDH y proteína C reactiva, y leucocitosis.

Sharapunkha (Tephrosia purpurea) is one of the important drugs in Ayurvedic system of medicine. The present study was undertaken to find out the action of Sharapunkha (Tephrosia purpurea) on Gastrointestinal System. During the passage of drug through oral route, it is probable that the active principle present in Sharapunkha, might act on gastrointestinal System. Albino rats were used in this study and divided into control and drug treated group. Drug treated group rats were feed with intragastric drug decoction, along with their normal water and food. Water intake, diet intake, weight of rats, gastrointestinal motility and serum bilirubin level were compared. Healthy human volunteers were selected, and prepared drug decoction was given for 7 days. Observations were done based on self-assessment of the volunteers about any significant physiological variation specially related to the G.I. System. After study, it was found that Sharapunkha enhances intestinal motility, decreases serum bilirubin in albino rats. Human volunteers had feeling of increase appetite, easy bowel motion and increase urge for micturition. These facts suggest that some ingredients of Sharapunkha are acting on the smooth muscles of the bowel and urinary bladder. So, it may be presumed that Sharapunkha influences the feeding and satiety center located in hypothalamus. Sharapunkha decoction preparation does influence the activity of the autonomic nervous system with consequent alterations in the functions of gastrointestinal tract and possibly the urinary system.

This study examines the effect of oil and gas resource rent on economic growth of Ghana for the period of 2007 to 2019. The study uses the bounds test approach to cointegration within the framework of autoregressive distributed lags model as the estimation strategy. The results from the study revealed that oil resource rent had a negative and significant relationship with economic growth of Ghana. However, gas resource rent had a positive impact on economic growth of Ghana. Furthermore, the study also found that foreign direct investment and exchange rate had significant positive relation with economic growth of Ghana respectively. For government expenditure, it exerts a negative impact on economic growth of Ghana.  Based on the negative and significant relationship with oil resource rent and economic growth of Ghana, it is recommended that the government should reduce taxes on oil industries to help increase the production of oil and gas in Ghana. Furthermore, the study recommends Government and private partnership to ensure effective management of exchange rate fluctuations in Ghana.

Published: November 2020

Agriculture is the main source of support for past, present and future generations who depends on it for sustainable development. Now a day’s modern agronomy skills developed plentiful to cater the need of the growing population which is highly encouraged but at the same time it leads to numerous issues like land pollution, negative environmental impacts, toxic problems, proliferation of carcinogenic diseases and so on. One of the main factors which affects our land is the usage of plastics in our regular life. This plastic usage and it improper waste management also plays an consequential role in polluting the soil system. Soil system is chief source for agriculture, if soil system is maintained with good conditions like acidic and basic nature than good yield of crops was expected. This paper mainly focuses on the types of plastics and how it affects the life. Many studies have been done in this area and as an educationalist it is essential to develop positive attitude towards agronomy skills without damaging the soil system. The study also intends to develop positive attitude towards agronomy skills for students and how to prepare soil for better agricultural crops and the main intention of this paper is to reduce the use of plastics to sustain the sustainable generation.

Technologies and computer programs available today provide us with design programs and analytical techniques for solving complex problems in the different engineering disciplines. These technologies and programs have also found their significance in agricultural research. Computer-aided mathematical modelling was used for carrying out the design optimization of a straight subsoiler. At the initial stage, the static structural analysis under static loading conditions was performed. Details on the material and dimensions for the subsoiler were acquired from the manufacturer at the regional level. The existing subsoiler was then optimized for shank thickness, curve length, and shank width. Optimization was carried out for the objectives seeking minimum solid mass and maximum safety factor. The optimized design obtained was remodeled, and its static analysis performed. Results of the stresses, deformation, and safety factor before and after optimization were compared, and the conclusions drawn. The static structural analysis revealed that before optimization, the subsoiler mass was 24.54 kg, and the volume was 3117701.77 mm3. The maximum total deformation was 4.959 mm, maximum equivalent stress was 270.09 MPa, and the maximum principal stress was 295.06 MPa.  The minimum value for the safety factor was 1.296. Parametric correlation of the input and output parameters showed that the relationship among two input parameters viz. shank thickness, shank width, and output parameters was strong. These input parameters were used for response surface generation and design optimization. Optimization reduced both the subsoiler mass and volume by 14.86 %. The maximum equivalent stress and maximum principal stress reduced by 4.10% and 5.39%, respectively, while the total deformation, minimum safety factor, and maximum working life increased by 7.15%, 4.28%, and 14.26%, respectively.

Published: November 2020

It is projected that by 2030, the global population will rise to 8.5 billion influencing various changes to the whole globe. Since 1750, the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased sharply and exceeds more than 31 percent as a result of land use change and intense farming activities that require unique and modern actions to manage its climate - related risks. The earth is getting warmer day by day due to land use transition, intensive agriculture; global carbon (C) emissions have drastically increases after industrial revolution. Soil C depletion is enhanced by soil mismanagement, soil degradation and aggravated by land exploitation. Sources of emissions from various anthropogenic activities; land use change, burning of natural biomass, natural conversion to agricultural habitats, and soil cultivation. The soil as a dynamic natural entity has the potential of storing most of the C from atmosphere that will cause substantial decrease in CO2 content that is enhancing global climate change. Through agriculture, soils can reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and store C while having good effect on food security, water quality and climate prior to the introduction of best management and restorative land-use practices. Most of the reduced C in soil carbon (SC) pools can be recovered by embracing conservation tillage (no-till, reduced tillage) with cover cropping and incorporating crop residues as mulch, nutrient management through integrated nutrient management practices, manure and organic amendments, biochar and using other productive soil management strategies. These management systems lead to preservation of lands that are being or have been depleted, increase carbon production, enhance soil health and decrease the amount of atmospheric CO2 leading to climate change mitigation.

There is relatively little information about root architecture response under various cropping systems. This research concerns the influence of rock phosphate enriched compost and microbial inoculants on root morphology and root colonization through Arbuscular Mychorrhizal fungi under rice crop. In this study, we estimated the root length (RL), root biomass (RB), mychorrizal root infection, crop yield and phosphorus uptake in grain and straw. Root samples were collected after harvesting of crop located at Instructional farm of Bihar. Root parameters including root length (18.14 cm) and dry root biomass (0.93 g) were observed to be significantly higher in the treatments inoculated with Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi over control (statistically at par but numerically higher than 100% RDF) because of the hyphal extensions leading to increased reach and surface area of roots in rice crop. Highest uptake of P by the grain and straw of rice (13.78 and 11.03 kgha-1) was recorded with the combined application of chemical fertilizers with rock phosphate enriched compost in the presence of microbial inoculants like PSB and AMF.
