Authors: Ersanti Arina Mufida , Oktafiani Lirista Dyah Ayu
Published: April 2022

Non-Communicable Disease is a chronic disease that tends to last a long time and can cause death. It can cause individuals to become less productive. However, controlling risk factors through early detection can prevent these problems. At this time, early detection is mostly carried out at the village / health facilities level, not yet at work / institutional level. Bondowoso Campus Jember University is one of the largest educational institutions in the BASUKI RAYA area, which has many employees, and an average age of over 20 years, which is the productive age group. Early detection through Non-Communicable Disease screening activities is important in preventing and reducing morbidity and mortality due to the disease. This activity is also useful in regularly monitoring the health of employees and also minimizing lost opportunities for employees to carry out early detection of diseases due to examinations. Methods of this activity include counseling, early detection of PTM as well as counseling and counseling based on screening results. Data analysis were performed using univariate and bivariate. Different test was performed using Wilcoxon with a level of a = 0.05. The results showed that there was an increase in employee knowledge regarding non-communicable diseases and how to prevent them. (p = 0.03, sig <0.05).

Published: April 2022

The Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus) is a nocturnal primate endemic to Java. Previous studies on slow loris activity are limited to general daily activity, and there is a lack of research on the potential sex differences in slow loris activity. This study aims to analyze differences in the daily activity of the Javan slow loris based on sex. From August to December 2018, the daily activity of six wild Javan slow lorises was recorded using behavioral observations with instantaneous point sampling at 5-minute intervals. Differences in male and female slow loris activity were analyzed using the Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM). We set sex and weather as fixed factors and individuals as random effects. The results of this study showed that females spent more time feeding and less time resting than males. In addition, the Javan slow loris behavior was affected by temperature and humidity like other slow loris species.

Published: April 2022

Hopea odorata Roxb. is a forest plant from Dipterocarpaceae family that play a crusial economic and ecological functions. Its propagation from generative materials is limited because of the recalcitrant seed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of cryoprotectant and cryopreservation treatment as an alternative seed storage technique on the physiological and biochemical change of H. odorata seeds. Fresh seeds were treated with two cryoprotectan, PVS1 (mannitol) and PVS2 (DMSO 15% (w/v), ethylene glycol 15% (w/v) and glycerol 30% (w/v). in 0.4 M sucrose) with different concentration (25, 50, 75 and 100% (w/v)) and immersion time (30, 60, 90 and 120 min). Seeds were stored at room temperature (28±2⁰C) for evaluation of cryoprotectant toxicity and in liquid nitrogen (-196±2⁰C) for 24 hours. In room temperature storage, seed were immersion into 100%, 75% and 50% of PVS1 showed higher germination value (germination percentage, germination rate, vigour index, maximum growth potensial) and lower biochemical accumulation (electrolyte leakage, total malondialdehyde, total phenol) than PVS2. Cryoprotectant and cryopreservation treatments in this study was not suitable to increase the viability of H. odorata seed. Seeds were unable to germinate cause tissue necrosis and increase of total malondialdehyde.

Published: April 2022

The addition of elicitors in kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.) culture is one of  strategies for obtaining and increasing the production of secondary metabolites.  Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the elicitors that can be used to increase secondary metabolites such as terpenoids. However, in its use, the pure cultures of S. cerevisiae are expensive. Therefore, the first objective of this study was to analyze the ability of technical grade (commercial baker’s yeast) to be used as an elicitor and measure the growth of kaffir lime cell line after being elicited by pure and technical grade (commercial baker’s yeast). The second objective is to determine the best time to subculture kaffir lime cell line after elicitation. We observed the morphology and measured the growth curve of pure and technical grade yeast until the 4th subculture generation. Furthermore, we used both grades of yeast for elicitation. Kaffir lime cell suspension was treated with 10 ppm pure grade or 5 ppm and 10 ppm technical grade yeast for 4 days. After elicitation, kaffir lime cell lines were subcultured and their growth was analyzed. The result showed that the morphology and growth curve of technical grade until 4th subculture generations was similar to the pure grade. On the other hand, after elicitation using pure and technical grade yeast and being subcultured, the growth of the elicitated kaffir lime cell line had the same pattern as the control group, but the cell density of the control group was higher than the elicitated group. The initial stationary phase of kaffir lime cell line was on the 17th day which is the best time to subculture. The subculturing process is important to maintain the viability of the kaffir lime cell line.
The Intensivist's Perspective of Shock, Volume Management, and Hemodynamic Monitoring
Authors: Kashani Kianoush , Omer Tarig , Shaw Andrew D.
Published: April 2022

One of the primary reasons for intensive care admission is shock. Identifying the underlying cause of shock (hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive) may lead to entirely different clinical pathways for management. Among patients with hypovolemic and distributive shock, fluid therapy is one of the leading management strategies. Although an appropriate amount of fluid administration might save a patient's life, inadequate (or excessive) fluid use could lead to more complications, including organ failure and mortality due to either hypovolemia or volume overload. Currently, intensivists have access to a wide variety of information sources and tools to monitor the underlying hemodynamic status, including medical history, physical examination, and specific hemodynamic monitoring devices. Although appropriate and timely assessment and interpretation of this information can promote adequate fluid resuscitation, misinterpretation of these data can also lead to additional mortality and morbidity. This article provides a narrative review of the most commonly used hemodynamic monitoring approaches to assessing fluid responsiveness and fluid tolerance. In addition, we describe the benefits and disadvantages of these tools.
New insights into the seismic activity of Damascus fault (Syria): a quantitative analysis
Authors: Abdul-Wahed Mohamad Khir
Published: April 2022

Damascus fault is a remarkable reverse tectonic structure trending directly adjacent to Damascus city, and may possibly represent a significant seismic hazard to the city. In this respect, the present work examines the instrumental seismic activity and establishes an earthquake catalogue covering the period 1995-2012 for this important fault, aiming to identify its contribution to the regional seismic hazard. The quantitative analysis reveals the Damascus fault is characterized by low magnitude earthquakes, which implies that the fault could be considered in quiescence status. The analysis exhibit the b-value of Gutenberg-Richter relationship is estimated to be 0.90 using the least-squares method, which could be compatible with a thrust faulting, such as Damascus fault, regarding the published literature. Also, this value could be reasonable for further interpretations. In addition, the return periods of large earthquakes have been estimated to be very long by extrapolation of the established recurrence relationship. Moreover, the maximum regional earthquake magnitude has been estimated by Kijko's procedure as maximum likelihood estimator. This procedure has predicted the maximum possible earthquake magnitude to be 4.2. Consequently, the seismic quiescence, observed actually along Damascus fault, and the estimated long return period implies that a large earthquake could be still so far away.
Seismic risk in the State of Colima, México: Application of a simplified methodology of the seismic risk evaluation for the localities with low-rise, non-engineered housing
Authors: Zobin Vyacheslav
Published: April 2022

The study of seismic risk is important element in the natural hazard assessment, especially in the regions of high seismic activity and low quality of housing. The new technologies, developed to reduce risk against natural hazards in large modern cities, are expensive and need in continuous instrumental monitoring of strong motions. The main problem in estimation of the seismic risk for the localities, representing with the vulnerable low-rise, non-engineered (LRNE) housing in many states of Africa, Asia and Latin America, consists in a search of an optimal and low-cost tool for estimation of the extent of physical damage to property for different type of housing. This article proposes a simplified methodology of the seismic risk evaluation for the localities, where the vulnerable LRNE houses represent most residential constructions. The methodology is based on evaluation of the following sources of information: the internet-available catalogs of world-wide of recent and historical earthquakes and visual inspection and classification of the vulnerability level of residential LRNE houses as well as a visual macroseismic inspection of the residential house damage after destructive earthquakes. This methodology is applied to the localities of the State of Colima, México characterizing with the LRNE type of residential houses. The prognostic of damage probability during large earthquake for residential houses in Colima city, based on this methodology, was firstly proposed in 1999 and then was updated in 2007 after the analysis of damage distribution during the Mw 7.5 earthquake of 2003 (MM VII in Colima city). This article presents microzoning of the seismic risk for two localities of Colima State together with a probabilistic prognostic of the expected damage in housing and financial losses during the maximum intensity earthquakes at the localities.
Voyager's observations in the vicinity of the heliopause
Authors: Caballero Rogelio , Richardson J. D.
Published: April 2022

This work analyzes Voyager 2 observations on November 2018 and compares them with Voyager 1 data at the vicinity of the heliopause in July-August 2012. We describe the plasma and cosmic-ray variations at the radial distance of $\approx$ 1 astronomical unit (AU) from the heliopause. We use a simple convection-diffusion cosmic-ray modulation model to qualitatively explain the particle observations. We found a thin layer, with a thickness of $\approx$ 0.04 AU where the radial component of the solar wind speed vanished, the galactic cosmic ray intensity rapidly increased to reach its heliosphere boundary level, and low-energy heliospheric ion intensity drooped. We called this layer the "skin of the heliosphere". Plasma data suggest that Voyager 2 crossed the heliopause on November 5, 2018, at the radial distance of 119.03 AU. We apply our analysis to Voyager 1 observations and conclude that similar behavior in solar wind speed could qualitatively explain the GCR counting rate and that the "skin of the heliosphere" maybe a global characteristic along the heliopause.

Published: April 2022

In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic and workers adjusted their work activities to the remote form. Excessive information about COVID-19 and intense exposure to situations of suffering can lead to increased anxiety. Therefore, it is urgent to identify groups at high risk of psychological impacts, such as women, in order to target treatments. Therefore, the objective was to seek additional evidence of scale validity, internal consistency and correlation with other variables of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS-BR) in the Brazilian mothers. Correlations were verified between anxiety regarding COVID-19 and perceived stress, measured by the Perceived Stress Scale, and resilience, assessed by the Brief Resilient Coping Scale. 203 Brazilian women aged between 23 and 59 years, mostly from the Southeast region (61.1% from Minas Gerais, 17.7% from Rio de Janeiro) participated in this study. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out through structural equation modeling, using the MPLUS software. The scale showed good fit indices (x² =12.909 (5); CFI =0.997 TLI = 0.994; RMSEA = 0.088). The factor loading were excellent and ranged from 0.84 to 0.91, while the instrument's internal consistency assessed by Cronbach's alpha was 0.91. It is concluded that the scale has adequate psychometric properties, and its use is suggested to assess the levels of anxiety regarding the coronavirus of women in Brazilian territory.

Authors: Jacobs Christine K. , Douglas Montgomery , Ravenna Paul , Wilson Elisabeth , Piggott Cleveland , Chrusciel Timothy , Strothers Harry
Published: April 2022

Background and Objectives: Diversity, inclusion, and health equity (DIHE) are integral to the practice of family medicine. Academic family medicine has been grappling with these issues in recent years, particularly with a focus on racism and health inequity. We studied the current state of DIHE activities in academic family medicine departments and suggest a framework for departments to become more diverse, inclusive, antiracist, and focused on health equity and racial justice.
Methods: As part of a larger annual membership survey, family medicine department chairs were asked for their assessment of departmental DIHE and antioppression activities, and infrastructure and resources committed to increasing DIHE.
Results: More than 60% of family medicine department chairs participating in this study rate their departments highly in promoting DIHE and antioppression, and 66% of chairs report an institutional infrastructure that is working well. Just over half of departments or institutions have had a climate survey in the past 3 years, 47.3% of departments have a diversity officer, and 26% of departments provide protected time or resources for a diversity officer.
Conclusions: The majority of family medicine department chairs rate their departments highly on DIHE. However, only 50% of departments have formally assessed climate in the past 3 years, fewer have diversity officers, and even fewer invest resources in their diversity officers. This disconnect should motivate academic family medicine departments to undertake formal self-assessment and implement a strategic plan that includes resource investment in DIHE, measurable outcomes, and sustainability.
Telemedicine Clinical Skills Needs Assessment in Early Medical Students
Authors: Kumra Tina , McGuire Maura , Stein Ariella , Pahwa Amit K.
Published: April 2022

Background and Objectives: As clinicians increasingly rely on telemedicine, medical students will need to learn how to appropriately use telemedicine in patient care. A formal approach to curriculum development is needed to identify gaps and needs in early medical student performance.
Methods: In October 2020, 120 second-year medical students completed a telemedicine visit with a standardized patient with chronic essential hypertension. Students were assessed across five domains (history-gathering, communication, vitals, physical exam, and assessment/management). An anonymous, voluntary survey was distributed to assess self-efficacy in telemedicine skills.
Results: Students perform well in history-gathering and communication (98% of student scored 4 or 5 out of 5 on history, 100% of students received a 7 or 8 out of 8 on communication). Students perform poorly in obtaining vital signs (23% scored 3 or 4 out of 4) and assessment/management (14% scored 3 or 4 out of 4). Students received their lowest scores in physical examination (2% score 4 or 5 out of 5). The number of telemedicine visits completed with patients prior to the standardized patient exercise had no impact on student performance during the exercise. Student response rate on the postexercise survey was 88%. Self-efficacy was lowest in physical examination telemedicine skills compared to other domains.
Conclusions: Findings suggest that early medical students are able to gather history and communicate over telemedicine, but perform poorly on telemedicine physical examination skills. More robust curriculum development addressing telemedicine physical examinations skills is needed early in medical training.

Authors: Elward Cameron J. , Perkins Sebrina D.
Published: April 2022

This case report discusses a school-aged boy who presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain and fever. After investigation, he was found to have Enterobius vermicularis infestation of the appendix without appendicitis. The novelty of this case is the video clip of a live worm-like finding on ultrasound in the boy. The video for this case serves as a reminder for emergency physicians or pediatricians to consider parasitic etiologies in children with abdominal pain, absent some of the classic manifestations like perianal pruritis.

Published: April 2022

Sulfuryl fluoride( SO2F2) is a powerful greenhouse gas that threatens
human health. Now, it is essential to study the dissociation mechanism
under external electric fields. Based on the density functional theory(
DFT), the stepwise and concerted dissociation properties of SO2F2 are
studied under external electric fields, including depolo moment, bond
length, the total energy, orbital energy level distribution, and the
infrared spectrum. Result description: when the external electric field
increases the bond length of 1S-4F&1S-5F becomes longer and tends to
break, the total energy decline; The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps become
decline. Infrared spectroscopy showed the vibration frequency of
1S-4F&1S-5F bond str vibration frequency becomes lower as the electric
field increases and significant redshift. TD-DFT (time-dependent density
functional theory) is used to describe the ultraviolet-visible
absorption spectra; Additionally, the potential energy curve along with
the S-F bond under electric fields was calculated, it indicated the
stepwise dissociation occur when F=0.08 a.u. in 1S-4F and F=0.06 a.u. in
1S-5F; The corrected dissociation occurs when increases F=0.1 a.u. The
consequence provides an important reference for environmental protection
and electric field degradation of SO2F2.
Preventive Effects of Nicorandil and Atorvastatin in Contrast-induced Nephropathy in Patients with Renal Dysfunction undergoing Coronary Artery Angiography; double blind, randomized, controlled clinical trials
Authors: Babapour Behzad , Atighi Elham , Hosseninia Saeed , Mohammadi-kebar Susan
Published: April 2022

Background: In patients with cardiovascular disease candidate for
angiography, one of the major concerns is the incidence of
contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), especially in patients with renal
failure. The purpose of the present study was to compare the preventive
effects of nicorandil and atorvastatin on the incidence of CIN in
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: In a clinical trial
study, 270 patients with renal insufficiency nominated for angiography
were randomly divided into three groups (each group n=90): hydration
group (1000 mL saline), hydration + atorvastatin group (80 mg/day for 3
days), and hydration + nicorandil group (10 mg 3 times/day for 3 days).
Serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels as well as
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were evaluated before and 72 hours
after the intervention. Results: At the end of the study, serum Cr and
BUN levels in all three groups showed a significant increase compared to
the pre-intervention, which was significantly more in the control group
than the two groups. Furthermore, the amount of GFR in all three groups
showed a significant decrease after-intervention, which was
significantly more pronounced in the control group than in both groups.
No significant differences were found between nicorandil and
atorvastatin in serum concentrations of Cr and BUN as well as GFR levels
at the end of the study. Conclusion: The nicorandil and atorvastatin
intervention showed preventive effects on CIN in CKD patient’s candidate
for angiography, but there was no significant difference between the two
drugs.
Effect of Concomitant Surgical Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Patients with Reduced Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction: A Propensity‐Score Matching Analysis
Authors: Rimac Goran , Lauzon Nicolas , Sénéchal Mario , Dagenais François , Jacques Frederic , Philippon François , Voisine Pierre
Published: April 2022

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with reduced
left ventricle ejection fraction (RLVEF). The impact of concomitant
surgical atrial fibrillation ablation (SAFA) in patients with RLVEF is
uncertain. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of
concomitant SAFA in patients with RLVEF undergoing heart surgery on
heart failure (HF) rehospitalization and mortality. Methods: Using a
local registry and electronic health records linked with provincial
civil register survival data from July 2002 to April 2019, we analyzed
treatment and outcomes in a cohort of patients with AF and HF defined by
left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%. Health records were used
to collect treatment and International Classification of Diseases (ICD
10) codes to determine outcomes. A negative binomial model was used to
compare outcomes such as all-cause mortality and rehospitalization for
heart failure. Results: The cohort included 682 patients with RLVEF and
AF who underwent coronary artery bypass graft and/or valve surgery. A
total of 196 patients (29%) underwent concomitant SAFA. After matching,
132 patients with concomitant SAFA were compared to 159 patients who did
not undergo concomitant SAFA. At 6.0±3.7 years of follow-up, concomitant
SAFA was not associated with lower all-cause mortality (P=0.9861) and
reduction in rehospitalizations for heart failure decompensation
(P=0.31) compared to patients who did not have concomitant SAFA
performed. Post-operatively, concomitant SAFA might be associated with
less vasopressor and mechanical support use (p=0.01). Conclusions:
Concomitant SAFA during index cardiac surgery is safe but does not
reduce mortality or rehospitalizations for HF. The effects of
concomitant SAFA in the context of RLVEF needs to be better studied with
prospective trials.

„Kristalna noć” najčešće se povezuje s nacističkim uništavanjem židovske

za uništavanje srpske imovine u Zadru i njegovoj okolici 2. svibnja 1991. Dok se u većini hrvatske javnosti taj događaj ignorira, dio javnosti interpretira ga kao početak progona srpskoga stanovništva u organizaciji Hrvatske demokratske zajednice, zadarskih općinskih vlasti te hrvatske policije. Takav stav uglavnom je posljedica medijskih manipulacija i nema uporište u činjenicama. Premda se dio povjesničara u

Authors: Crump Brian , Reader Al , Nusstein John , Drum Melissa , Fowler Sara , Draper John
Published: April 2022

Objective:

The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to assess using a periodontal ligament (PDL) injection as an aide to decrease palatal infiltration pain.

Methods:

A total of 133 subjects randomly received a PDL injection and alternative palatal infiltration or a mock PDL injection and conventional palatal infiltration at 2 separate appointments. PDL injection was given in the mid-palatal sulcus of the maxillary first molar. Mock PDL injection consisted of only needle insertion. All subjects then received a palatal infiltration administered into the blanched gingival tissue 3 mm (alternative palatal infiltration) or 7 mm (conventional palatal infiltration) from the gingival collar. Subjects recorded needle insertion and solution deposition pain using a Heft-Parker visual analog scale (VAS).

Results:

The combined PDL injection and alternative palatal infiltration had significantly decreased mean VAS ratings for needle insertion and solution deposition pain (P < .0001). Incidence of moderate/severe pain for needle insertion and solution deposition was reduced from 65% to 1% and from 65% to 2%, respectively.

Conclusion:

Providing PDL anesthesia into the mid-palatal sulcus of the maxillary first molar and then administering an alternative palatal infiltration into the blanched collar around the PDL molar site led to significant reductions in needle insertion and solution deposition pain compared with a mock PDL and conventional palatal infiltration.

Authors: Wakana Keiichiro , Kimura Yukifumi , Nitta Yukie , Fujisawa Toshiaki
Published: April 2022

Objective:

This study aimed to determine the effect of music as an intervention on relieving preoperative anxiety in patients with dental fear in an outpatient operating room (OR) before intravenous sedation (IVS).

Methods:

Sixty adult patients with dental fear undergoing dental surgery under IVS were divided into 2 groups (music and nonmusic). The music group listened to music in the waiting room until immediately before the initiation of IVS whereas the nonmusic group did not. Patient anxiety was objectively measured using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis to assess the low-frequency/high-frequency ratio as an indication of sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system activity. Subjective preoperative anxiety was evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS).

Results:

Heart rate variability analysis failed to demonstrate any significant difference between the 2 groups from baseline to start of IVS. There were also no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding changes in VAS scores.

Conclusion:

Music intervention was not found to reduce preoperative anxiety in patients with dental fear before IVS in the dental outpatient OR as determined by HRV analysis or VAS scores.
Retrograde Intubation Over a Flexible Fiber-Optic Bronchoscope
Authors: Kang Ramanjot S. , Hutnik Robert , Kant Ishu , Zlatopolsky Aaron , Brar Chamandeep , Oleszak Slawomir P.
Published: April 2022

Traditional retrograde intubation consists of tracheal intubation performed over a guide wire inserted into the trachea inferior to the vocal cords and then passed transorally or transnasally. This intubation technique is reserved for patients with a difficult airway when other methods such as blind nasal intubation or video laryngoscopy fail. A guide wire passed blindly in a retrograde fashion, however, is not without its own constraints. This case report presents the anesthetic management of a 23-year-old Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient with substantial scarring from a previous tracheostomy stoma and limited mouth opening. The patient underwent a retrograde fiber-optic transnasal intubation without the use of a guide wire for a tracheostomy revision procedure, followed by a second tracheostomy revision and retrograde fiber-optic transoral intubation 7.5 months later. This report demonstrates a novel technique for intubating patients with difficult airways. The use of a flexible fiber-optic bronchoscope for a retrograde intubation mitigates complications that can arise using traditional retrograde intubation over a guide wire and increases the likelihood of successful intubation.

Authors: Fridayani Januari Ayu
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACTBeing agile is one of the main keys for organization to be able to survive and grow in the VUCA era. Today, many organizations have begun to form agile teams to produce initiative, innovation or improvement. However, having a large number of agile teams in a company does not mean that the company has become an agile organization. To be agile, a company must transform by developing agile organizational systems and creating adaptive leaders. This study provides a conceptual framework and an analysis that discusses how the adaptive leadership model becomes a relevant leadership model for organizations, especially in the midst of uncertain situations in the new habitual adaptation era. Using literature review method, this study formulates 4 aspects that form an adaptive leadership model, namely aspects of anticipation, articulation, adaptation and accountability. Furthermore, these four aspects are translated into the main characteristics of organizational agility through the 5 key areas of the organization — strategy, structure, processes, people and technology.Keywords: adaptive leadership; organizational agility; new habitual adaptation ABSTRAKMenjadi gesit merupakan salah satu kunci utama organisasi untuk dapat bertahan dan berkembang di era VUCA. Saat ini, banyak organisasi mulai membentuk tim yang gesit untuk menghasilkan inisiatif, inovasi, atau perbaikan. Namun, memiliki tim yang gesit dalam jumlah besar dalam sebuah perusahaan tidak berarti bahwa perusahaan tersebut telah menjadi organisasi yang gesit. Untuk menjadi gesit, perusahaan harus bertransformasi dengan mengembangkan sistem organisasi yang gesit dan menciptakan pemimpin yang adaptif.

Comparison of the Gas Exchange Parameters of Two Maple Species (Acer negundo and Acer pseudoplatanus) Seedlings under Drought Stress
Authors: KOÇ İsmail
Published: April 2022

In this study, two-year-old bare-root Acer negundo and Acer pseudoplatanus seedlings were grown indoors (control vs. drought-stressed) and outside the hoop house to examine leaf gas exchange parameters in the late growing period. Besides morphological features, several gas exchange parameters, such as net photosynthetic rate (Anet), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 to ambient CO2 (Ci/Ca), water use efficiency (WUE=Anet/E), intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE=Anet/gs) were measured. As a result, A. pseudoplatanus seedlings had a higher stem height growth. A. negundo had a higher Anet, and a lower iWUE and Ci/Ca than A. pseudoplatanus. Seedlings grown under control treatment had a higher Anet, gs, E, and a lower iWUE, WUE, and Ci/Ca values than other treatments. In conclusion, there was no significant difference between the two Acer species in terms of gas exchange parameters. However, it can be said that A. negundo and A. pseudoplatanus are drought resistant.

Tek ağaç ve meşcere gelişimleri ekolojik faktörlere bağlı olarak değişim gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Kastamonu ve Sinop yöresi saf ve doğal sarıçam (Pinus sylvestris L.) meşcereleri için ekorejyon tabanlı tek ağaç çap artım modeli geliştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla, çeşitli ekolojik faktörlerin birlikte değerlendirilmesiyle oluşan ekolojik bölge sınıflaması modellerde altlık olarak kullanılmış ve tek ağaçlardaki çap artımlarının ekorejyonlar arasındaki farklılıkları araştırılmıştır. Çalışma alanının yer aldığı Karadeniz İklim Bölgesi 5 alt ekolojik bölgeyi (ekorejyon) barındırmakta olup, çalışma kapsamında sarıçam ağaç türünün yoğunluk gösterdiği Ekorejyon 1 Ekorejyon 2 ve Ekorejyon 3’te arazi çalışmaları sürdürülmüştür. Çalışma materyali olarak 292 örnek alandan elde edilen 2318 adet örnek ağaç verisi kullanılmıştır. Karışık etkili modelleme tekniği ile geliştirilen çap artım modeline ilişkin tahminlerin ekorejyonlar arasındaki farklılığı Doğrusal Olmayan Ekstra Kareler Toplamı yöntemi ile test edilmiştir. Tek ağaç çap artım modeli, ağaca ilişkin göğüs çapı yanında meşcere yaşı, bonitet endeksi, sıklık derecesi ve meşcere orta çapı gibi meşcere özellikleri ile yarışma endekslerine bağlı olarak son 5 yıllık çap artımlarını tahmin etmek üzere geliştirilmiş olup R2 değeri 0,691’dir. İstatistiksel ve grafiksel incelemeler sonucunda çap artımının ekorejyonlar arasındaki farklılıkları ortaya konulmuş olup Kastamonu ve Sinop yöresi doğal sarıçam meşcerelerinde ekorejyon tabanlı modellerin kullanılması uygun bulunmuştur.

O plano de ação Programa Casa para Todos foi uma das iniciativas do governo cabo-verdiano para reduzir o seu déficit habitacional entre 2011-2021. Este artigo avalia a satisfação dos usuários das habitações sociais com base na percepção das famílias beneficiárias. Essa avaliação fundamenta-se nos procedimentos metodológicos da Avaliação Pós-Ocupação, pioneira para os estudos de casono país, e sua aplicação ao contexto habitacional. A pesquisa e avaliação aconteceram na cidade da Praia em 2016 e 2017, tendo uma amostra das 194 famílias distribuídas pelos 6 empreendimentos edificados que integram o subprograma Habitar CV. Questionários foram aplicados aos chefes de família em cada unidade pesquisada, com foco em três dimensões: unidade habitacional, empreendimento habitacional e entorno da habitação. Evidenciou-se a relevância do Habitar CV na construção social e melhoria da qualidade de vida. A pesquisa confirmou a importância de consultar a opinião dos usuários, para conhecer suas reais necessidades e da constituição de subsídios para a melhoria da qualidade na produção de habitação social. Urge aprofundar a avaliação e, com base nos pontos críticos, tecer recomendações no âmbito da política pública para o aprimoramento dos programas habitacionais, incrementando a inclusão social e a cidadania em Cabo Verde.
