A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line allows permanent vascular access and is widely used in pediatric oncology. In patients, who fully completed antitumor treatment, the PICC line should be removed. In some cases, however, the procedure may be complicated and such a catheter is then called a ‘hard-to-remove’ or a ‘non-removable’. This article describes a clinical case of successful non-surgical removal of a PICC line with a developed fibrin sheath.

Published: November 2022

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os impactos das mudanças ambientais nas estratégias competitivas das empresas do setor supermercadista de Campina Grande/PB no período de 2013 a 2017. Usando como base teórica a dinâmica competitiva, focando nos tipos de ações competitivas e formas de competir no mercado de acordo com Usero e Fernández (2003), Silva e Freitas (2006) e Ferrier e Lee (2002). A pesquisa caracteriza-se qualitativa e utilizou-se de três casos para estudo, sendo os dados primários obtidos a partir de entrevistas junto aos respectivos gerentes, e os secundários na literatura e estudos setoriais. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que das 10 mudanças ambientais ocorridas no setor em nível nacional, 7 se apresentaram no setor local com alta intensidade e 3 com baixa intensidade. Essas mudanças impactaram nas estratégias competitivas das empresas estudadas, levando-as a adotarem diversas ações de inovação e táticas. Das 10 ações de inovação consideradas, 8 foram usadas com maior intensidade. Em relação às 7 ações táticas, foram utilizadas 4 com maior intensidade. Quanto à forma de competir, constatou-se que tais empresas apresentaram agressividade e complexidade competitiva, porém não apresentaram heterogeneidade e imprevisibilidade, mantendo a mesma forma de competir já identificada no período de 2003 a 2005 por Silva e Freitas (2006).

Authors: Ary Gomes da MOTTA JÚNIOR  , Rivail Antonio Sergio FIDEL  , Sandra Rivera FIDEL
Published: November 2022

Introdução e objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo mostrar a possibilidade de tratamento não-cirúrgico de grandes cistos. Relato de caso: Realizou-se tratamento endodôntico de lesão perirradicular com aproximadamente 4,5 cm de diâmetro máximo, envolvendo as raízes dos dentes 36 e 37. Indicou-se tratamento de canal dos dentes antes do procedimento cirúrgico da lesão. Observou-se melhora clínica em 20 dias do início do tratamento endodôntico, com diminuição do edema e regressão cística. Optou-se por consultas de manipulação dos canais, colocação de pasta de hidróxido de cálcio e laserterapia. Após seis meses do início do tratamento verificou-se regressão clínica da lesão; procedeu-se à obturação endodôntica dos dentes e fez-se controle clínico radiográfico de 1 e 2 anos. Observaram-se desaparecimento do cisto e consequente reparação óssea. Conclusão: Com a utilização dos avanços tecnológicos, como microscópios e laserterapia, atualmente é possível, em casos de lesão perirradicular em que se recomendava cirurgia, efetuar tratamento não-cirúrgico com sucesso.

Introdução e objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar cefalometricamente as inclinações dos incisivos superiores e inferiores em indivíduos com maloclusão classe II, divisão 1 de Angle, e correlacioná-las com o padrão facial. Material e métodos: A amostra foi composta por 44 indivíduos entre 7 anos e 11 meses e 14 anos de idade, distribuídos em três grupos de padrão facial: braquifacial, mesofacial e dolicofacial. Foram avaliadas as inclinações dos incisivos superiores em relação à linha NA (1.NA), dos incisivos inferiores quanto à linha NB (–1.NB) e em relação ao plano mandibular de Tweed (IMPA) e entre os incisivos superiores e inferiores (1.–1). Os resultados foram submetidos a análise de variância. Para identificar entre quais padrões faciais existia diferença, aplicou-se o teste de Tukey (alfa = 0,05). Resultados e conclusão: Verificou-se que apenas a variável IMPA apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante entre os valores médios em relação ao padrão facial (p ≤ 0,05). Conclui-se que os incisivos estavam bem posicionados em relação à linha NA e NB, respectivamente, e não foi possível correlacionar essas inclinações com o padrão facial do indivíduo. Existe correlação positiva da inclinação dos incisivos inferiores com o plano mandibular de Tweed (IMPA) e o padrão facial dos indivíduos. Além disso, o ângulo interincisivo apresentou-se levemente diminuído em comparação a valores médios da norma.

Published: November 2022

Introdução e objetivo: O mercúrio é um material amplamente usado na prática odontológica, contudo trata-se de um dos mais perigosos poluentes ambientais e ocupacionais. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como objetivos analisar diversos aspectos referentes à contaminação mercurial, com base em trabalhos existentes na literatura, e demonstrar os riscos que o mercúrio causa quando manuseado de forma inadequada. Revisão de literatura: Algumas recomendações são efetuadas, pertinentes ao manuseio e à aplicação do mercúrio no ambiente do consultório odontológico, já que um sem-número de restaurações de amálgama está sendo substituído por material estético, podendo ocorrer inalação do vapor de mercúrio. Muitos cirurgiões-dentistas não se preocupam com os riscos que esse elemento químico pode causar à saúde. Conclusão: O mercúrio pode produzir efeitos tóxicos locais ou sistêmicos ao organismo, pela inalação de vapores durante o preparo do amálgama ou mesmo quando da sua substituição.

Published: November 2022

Introdução e objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a influência de diferentes materiais usados na confecção de infraestruturas no resultado estético de restaurações com recobrimento cerâmico. Material e métodos: Foi selecionado um paciente que necessitava de coroa protética unitária nos incisivos centrais superiores, sendo uma convencional (elemento 11) e outra sobre implante (elemento 21). Para cada elemento dentário, uma coroa livre de metal (sistema Cubo) e uma metalocerâmica (MC) foram confeccionadas e submetidas a avaliação cega por 11 cirurgiões-dentistas. Para isso, os profissionais responderam a um questionário sobre proporções de opacidade e translucidez das coroas na cavidade bucal do paciente, e cada resposta correspondia a uma pontuação. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos ao teste de Wilcoxon (α = 0,05). Resultados: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre as coroas metalocerâmicas e as do sistema Cubo (elemento 11: p = 0,107; elemento 21: p = 0,739). A análise dos escores ainda evidenciou que para um mesmo tipo de infraestrutura não se observou diferença estatisticamente significante entre os elementos 11 e 21 (Cubo: p = 0,206; MC: p = 0,102). Conclusão: Dentro das limitações do presente estudo, foi possível concluir que, de acordo com a percepção visual dos avaliadores, as coroas protéticas confeccionadas com infraestrutura metálica e com infraestrutura cerâmica se apresentaram esteticamente semelhantes e satisfatórias.

Introdução e objetivo: Buscou-se quantificar, indiretamente, a liberação de oxigênio após a reação química intracoronária, por deslocamento axial de fluido em capilares de vidro, adaptados em coroas dentárias. Material e métodos: Coroas bovinas foram acessadas, e foi executado o tampão cervical e posicionado um capilar de vidro na face externa vestibular, contendo um veículo oleoso. Na sequência, foram preparadas quatro associações de clareadores e colocadas em seu interior: G1 – perborato de sódio e peróxido de hidrogênio a 3%; G2 – perborato de sódio e água; G3 – associação de percarbonato de sódio e peróxido de hidrogênio a 3%; G4 – associação de percarbonato de sódio e água destilada. Após serem mantidas por 24 horas, quantificou-se o deslocamento axial do fluido, interpretado como liberação de oxigênio pela reação química. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram uma tendência das associações com o peróxido de hidrogênio em promover maior liberação de oxigênio. Entretanto não houve diferença entre o perborato de sódio e o percarbonato de sódio (p > 0,05). Conclusão:Os grupos experimentais não demonstraram diferenças entre si durante as 24 horas de reação química.

Authors: Ana Carolina Sobral de OLIVEIRA  , Nicole Prata DAMASCENA  , Cristiane Salgado de SOUZA
Published: November 2022

Introdução e objetivo: Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar a presença de lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs) e correlacioná-las com a presença de contatos dentários prematuros e hábitos alimentares, parafuncionais e de higiene envolvidos em seu desenvolvimento. Material e métodos: Foram avaliados 100 pacientes da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, de ambos os gêneros, com idade de 18 a 64 anos, de acordo com critérios para identificação de LCNCs. Os indivíduos responderam ao questionário com perguntas referentes a idade, gênero, dieta, hábitos parafuncionais e hábitos de higiene. Na identificação de lesões cervicais, as faces vestibulares e linguais ou palatinas foram examinadas. Posteriormente os pacientes que apresentaram LCNCs foram avaliados em relação à presença de algum contato prematuro. A análise estatística para avaliar as associações dos hábitos com a presença de LCNCs foi feita por meio do teste qui-quadrado de Pearson. Em alguns casos foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. Para comparar a média de idade foi empregado o teste T-Student. Em todas as situações foi considerado o nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Resultados:Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente e não foi encontrada associação entre a presença de LCNCs e os hábitos avaliados, com exceção de mastigação unilateral. Conclusão: A ocorrência de LCNCs não pode ser atribuída somente a um único fator etiológico. A maior frequência de lesões foi em pré-molares, seguidos pelos molares, e a menor ocorrência, entre os incisivos e os caninos. Há elevada frequência de pessoas com contatos prematuros na amostra de pacientes com lesão. O avançar da idade dos pacientes está diretamente relacionado com a presença das lesões.

Authors: Allan abuabara  , Flares BARATTO FILHO  , Rubia F. FUZZA
Published: November 2022

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are cervical cysts occurring in approximately 7% of the population, mainly during childhood. The cyst usually presents itself as a painless, asymptomatic midline swelling below the hyoid bone. Differential diagnosis involves branchial cleft cyst, lymphoepithelial cyst, thyroid gland lesions, ranula and lymphadenopathy (of various etiologies). Sonogram (ultrasound) is the most frequent and appropriate imaging modality in suspected TDC. Preoperative fine-needle aspiration is an inexpensive and safe method that can be considered in selected adult patients, having prime importance to the exclusion of carcinoma. This article presents a TDC of the neck in a 5-year-old boy.
Prevalence of aggressive periodontitis among Yemeni students from schools in the city of Thamar
Authors: Abdullah Gh. Imran  , Mansour Ali S. Ataa
Published: November 2022

Introduction and objective: Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is a type of periodontitis that causes rapid destruction of alveolar bone, especially in young ages. In Yemen, there is no previous study about aggressive periodontitis, so the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and related risk factors for aggressive periodontitis among school students in the city of Thamar. Material and methods: In this study, a two-stage sampling method was used. At first stage, a random sample of eight public schools was selected from the schools of the city of Thamar by simple random sampling. In the second stage, a sample of 807 students (458 female and 349 male) was drawn from the chosen schools by simple random sampling. People aged from 10 to 22, with mean age of 17. The classification considered in the current paper was based on the American Academy of Periodontology classification of 1999. A questionnaire was applied and included questions that would give information about the risk factors that might be considered causal factors for aggressive periodontitis. Results: The number of affected students with AgP was 29 among 807 students, that is, 3.6% of the sample. The percentages of localized aggressive periodontitis (LAgP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) were, respectively, 2.6% (21 students) and 1.0% (8 students). The following teeth were found to be affected: first molars, second molars, incisors, first premolars and second premolars. In GAgP, 20 first molars, 22 incisors, 6 first premolars, 3 second molars and 2 second premolars showed clinical attachment loss. But in LAgP, 18 first molars, 19 incisors, 6 first premolars, 3 second molars and 2 second premolars showed clinical attachment loss. With regards to the risk factors – socioeconomic level, age, poor oral hygiene status, plaque index and gingival bleeding –, the statistical results indicated that each of these factors showed highly significant relationships with AgP. Conclusion: The prevalence of AgP among Yemeni schools students was relatively high: 3.6%. This might be related to the low socioeconomic level and poor oral hygiene status of most of the Yemeni students.

High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of hypertension. Hypertension is called the silent killer because it often appears without symptoms and is the main cause of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. The elderly are a vulnerable group to be diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Cupping therapy is a popular alternative treatment option carried out by the community. As time goes by, it encourages nurses to fully prove the benefits of cupping therapy. To examine the effect of cupping therapy on reducing cholesterol levels in the elderly. This research uses a quasi-experimental method which is one group pretest-posttest. Researchers examined cholesterol levels before cupping therapy and measured again after 30 minutes after cupping therapy. The sample used was 15 elderly patients with cupping at Alghaffar Care, Bone Regency, which were selected using purposive sampling technique. After performing statistical analysis using the Paired sample t test, the Systolic Pressure was obtained a significant value (p 0.001 < 0.05) with an average decrease in systolic pressure of 5.133 mmHg and a significant diastolic pressure was obtained (p 1,000 > 0, 05).

Authors: Bazilevskiy M. P. , Karbusheva D. V.
Published: November 2022

Objective.The aim of this article is to develop a program for approximate estimation of regression models specified on the basis of the Leontief production function (non-elementary regressions with two variables) and use it for modeling the unemployment rate in the Irkutsk region.

Method. Estimation of non-elementary regressions is carried out using ordinary least squares method. To find approximate estimates, we used a previously developed algorithm that involves solving a very laborious computational problem.

Result. Based on this algorithm, a special program was developed in the Delphi programming environment. The program provides for work in manual and automatic modes. In manual mode, according to the specified criteria, the estimates of the model parameters, the residual sum of squares, the coefficient of determination, the Student's criterion, Durbin-Watson's criterion and, for each variable, the number of the binary operation components triggerings on the sample, are determined. In automatic mode, the best estimates of non-elementary regression are determined according to the criteria: residual sum of squares, coefficient of determination, the Student’s criterion and Durbin-Watson’s criterion. At the same time, graphs of all the main characteristics are plotted depending on the key parameter of the model. With the help of the developed program, a model of the unemployment rate in the Irkutsk region was construct.

Conclusion. The model construct using the developed program turned out to be better than the traditional model of multiple linear regression. The program is universal and can be used to solve specific applied problems of data analysis.

Published: November 2022

Background

Interactive, mixed reality technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and holographic technology may provide a novel solution to fast-track the translation of evidence into practice. They may also help overcome barriers to both mental health and asthma management service uptake, such as cost, availability of appointments, fear of judgment, and quality of care.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate if mixed reality technology is an acceptable mechanism for the delivery of a component of cognitive and behavioral therapies for the management of elevated psychological distress among young people with asthma.

Methods

To explore the perceived acceptability of these technologies, mixed reality tools were evaluated via qualitative, 1-on-1 interviews with young people with asthma and symptoms of psychological distress, parents/caregivers of young people with asthma and symptoms of psychological distress, and relevant health professionals. The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability was used for the deductive coding of the recorded interview transcripts.

Results

This study enrolled the following participants: (1) 3 adolescents with asthma and symptoms of psychological distress with a mean age of 14 (SD 1.7) years; (2) 4 parents/caregivers of adolescents with asthma with a mean age of 55 (SD 14.6) years; and (3) 6 health professionals with a mean age of 40.8 (SD 4.3) years. A total of 4 constructs—experienced affective attitude, experienced effectiveness, self-efficacy, and intervention coherence—were coded in all participant transcripts. The most frequently coded constructs were experienced affective attitude and intervention coherence, which were reported a total of 96 times. The least frequently coded construct was anticipated opportunity cost, which was reported a total of 5 times. Participants were mostly positive about the mixed reality resources. However, some concerns were raised regarding ethicality, particularly regarding privacy, accessibility, and messaging. Participants noted the need for technology to be used in conjunction with face-to-face engagement with health professionals and that some patients would respond to this type of delivery mechanism better than others.

Conclusions

These results suggest that mixed reality technology to deliver psychological interventions may be an acceptable addition to current health care practices for young people with asthma and symptoms of psychological distress.

Authors: Ishida Yoriko
Published: November 2022

Recently, the Maritime Bureau and Seafarers Policy Division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism have been working to promote gender equality in the seafarer industry. Moreover, in 2017, the “Committee on the Promotion of Female Seafarers’ Activities from a Female Experts’ Perspective” was launched to discuss the issue. I participated in this committee as one of three academic experts. The committee has reported that the percentage of female seafarers in the Japanese shipping industry is only 2%, and less than 10% of shipping companies have shown a positive attitude toward the employment of female seafarers, indicating that the employment of female seafarers is not being promoted. The purpose of this study is to train female students in maritime colleges to be able to work as seafarers with leadership skills in the future using “masculinity” as a keyword.

Some syndromes are classified as rare by the low frequency with which they occur in the population and are characterized by a specific set of signs and symptoms, of genetic cause, due to an abnormality involving one or more chromosomes or genes (mutation), which can be by alterations, deletion, duplication in nitrogenous bases, among others. However, affected people do not always receive an early diagnosis and, in addition, there are few therapeutic options and scientific research in this area is rare. This study is an integrative literature review (ILR) that is based on scientific findings in order to identify and understand problems, situations and vulnerabilities related to the population. The studies were published in the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, being the equivalent of 14.29% in the year 2018, 28.57% in the year 2019, 14.29% in the year 2020 and about 42, 86% in the year 2021. Therefore, 25.00% of the studies were in France, 12.50% in Brazil, 12.50% in the United States, 12.50% in Germany, 12.50% in the Netherlands and Spain respectively. Thus, the contents of the research found referred to the early diagnosis of rare syndromes.
El amor en San Agustín
Authors: Urbina Navarrete Carlos Julio , Pinos Montenegro Judith
Published: November 2022

The conceptualization of “love” in Saint Augustine’s thought is addressed. This paper aims to understand how the concept of love structures his doctrine and how it is presented. This study is, for its nature itself, a documental search. Three analytical sources are used: First, Saints Augustine’s writings; second, documents corresponding to Greek ideas he used in his thought; and third, contemporary literature addressing his thought. It is organized into six sections: an introduction; next, the faces of love such as Eros (Ἔρως), philia (φιλία), and agape (ἀγάπη); and then, the objects of love and individual and collective dimensions are analyzed. It therefore follows that love is the main resource Saint Augustine used to understand human problems and relationships.

Removal of Fluoride by Biochar Prepared from Natural Waste (COCOS NUCIFERA)
Authors: Rajvanshi Saurabh
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Water is life since it supports the existence of all biota. The provision of clean water has indirectly become essential to how well people live nowadays. Water, one of the most abundant and necessary elements in nature, is at risk of being highly polluted due to a variety of factors, despite the fact that it is an important component of the flora and fauna and makes up roughly 75% of the earth's crust. Ground water is frequently contaminated with fluoride. Fluorosis is brought on by the overabundance of fluoride in drinking water. The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines state that 1.5 mg/l of fluoride is the maximum amount that should be present in drinking water. Investigated were the adsorption processes used to remove fluoride ions from ground water. The goal of this research is to create an environmentally friendly, cost-effective adsorbent for removing fluoride from ground water that can be used in rural areas of many developing nations. Fluoride elimination uses biochar made from natural waste (Cocos Nucifera). The effects of many parameters on adsorption tests, such as adsorbent dose (0.5–2 gm), starting fluoride concentration, have been revealed through batch experiments (10-50ppm). Fluoride elimination was observed using the UV Spectrophotometer.The adsorbent(coconut fiber) showed the maximum defluoridation capacity of 80%.The adsorbent(coconut shell) showed the maximum defluoridation capacity of 90%.

Authors: Mulatsari Esti , Mumpuni Esti
Published: November 2022

Several studies on plants that have antiaging properties have been widely published. From these studies, research has not been carried out on compounds in cinchona plants that may provide efficacy as antiaging. Initially, cinchona is a plant that is famous for its antimalarial properties. But the use of cinchona as an antimalarial has now been reduced so research needs to be done to look for another potential of the cinchona plant. This study aims to conduct a computational approach of compounds derived from cinchona as an inhibitor of the elastase, hyaluronidase, collagenase, and tyrosinase enzymes with oleanolic acid, EGCG, and arbutin as comparative compounds. The method used in this study is molecular docking using YASARA, Marvinsketch, PLANTS, VMD, and statistic R software. From the research results, six (6) candidates of active compounds as elastase enzyme inhibitors, twenty one (21) candidates of the active compound as hyaluronidase enzyme inhibitors, four (4) candidates of the active compound as collagenase enzyme inhibitors, and four (4) candidates of the active compound as tyrosinase inhibitors. Two compounds have potential as antiaging, i.e chlorogenic acid and Cyanidol 3-rhamnoglucoside.

Pemaknaan tradisi Peh Cun di Indonesia: Visualisasi dalam koleksi Ready-to-Wear Deluxe bagi generasi muda dengan gaya hidup urban
Authors: Aryani Dewi Isma , Theodora Josephine
Published: November 2022

Peh Cun merupakan salah satu budaya peranakan hasil akulturasi budaya Tionghoa dan Indonesia. Tradisi Peh Cun bertujuan untuk mengenang dan menghormati patriotisme seorang negarawan asal Tiongkok bernama Qu Yuan yakni menteri Negara Chu yang hidup pada Warring States Period. Qu Yuan seorang menteri yang jujur dan setia, namun difitnah oleh pejabat lainnya sehingga diusir dan bunuh diri karena tidak dihargai kesetiaannya oleh raja. Para nelayan mencari mayat Qu Yuan dengan menaiki perahu naga karena kepercayaan adat bahwa sang naga bisa membantu menemukan tubuh Qu Yuan dari dasar sungai. Selain itu, nelayan juga melempar bakcang ke sungai agar tubuh Qu Yuan tidak dimakan hewan dan dianggap untuk membuang sial.  Koleksi busana berjudul ZÀI JÌ YÌ terinspirasi dari keunikan tradisi Peh Cun terutama perlombaan mendayung perahu naga dan tradisi memakan bakcang melalui representasi aksen teknik smock, ombre dye spray, dan opnaisel. Project based learning menjadi metode yang digunakan dalam perancangan koleksi ini. Tujuan perancangan ZÀI JÌ YÌ adalah untuk: 1) Menciptakan koleksi busana berkonsep modern dengan inspirasi Peh cun, 2) Menerapkan teknik manipulasi material ke dalam koleksi busana. Hasil akhir yang diperoleh berupa koleksi rancangan busana deluxe siap pakai dengan siluet simple, stylish dan kontemporer sesuai acuan Indonesia Trend Forecasting 2021/2022 bertema Spirituality subtema Modern dengan menampilkan detail manipulasi dan material secara menyeluruh pada busana.
 
Peh Cun, which emerged from the blending of Chinese and Indonesian traditions, is one of the peranakan cultures. The Peh Cun tradition seeks to celebrate and remember the nationalism of a Chinese leader named Qu Yuan, the Minister of State of Chu who lived during the Warring States Period. Although Qu Yuan was a trustworthy and obedient minister, the monarch disregarded his allegiance, and as a result, he banished him and later killed himself. In accordance with the conventional wisdom that the dragon may aid in locating Qu Yuan's body at the river's bottom, the fishermen used a dragon boat to look for his remains. Additionally, fisherman also toss bakcang into the river to prevent animals from eating Qu Yuan's body, which is said to be unlucky. Incorporating smock technique accents, ombre dye spray, and opnaisel, the ZÀI JÌ YÌ apparel line was motivated by the distinctiveness of Peh Cun's traditions, particularly the dragon boat rowing race and the tradition of eating bakcang. This collection was created using a project-based learning approach. The design goals of ZÀI JÌ YÌ are to: 1) Create a fashion collection with a contemporary concept influenced by Peh Cun, and 2) Apply material manipulation techniques to the fashion collection. The ultimate result is a range of ready-to-wear deluxe apparel designs with simple, stylish, and contemporary silhouettes that adhere to the Spirituality theme and Modern sub-theme of the Indonesia Trend Forecasting 2021/2022.
Future forest management in British Columbia: A proposed vision, goals, and forest management framework
Authors: Bourgeois W. W. (Bill)
Published: November 2022

During a time when British Columbia's forest policy is undergoing unprecedented change, a lack of clarity surrounds what is desired for the forest industry and how future forests will be managed. This paper focuses on desirable changes to forest management to achieve sustainability. The author comments on current forest industry structure and recommends adoption of the Chief Forester's vision of the industry as “... the best managers of naturally forested landscapes in the world.” A set of goals to achieve this vision is outlined and a forest management framework is proposed that includes strategic direction, management instruments, and a system to implement the strategy. A draft “Sustainable Forest Management Contract” is presented for discussion. This instrument could address the limitations associated with current area- and volume-based tenure requirements and provide companies with a stake in long-term forest management.
A biologists� perspective on amalgamating traditional environmental knowledge and resource management
Authors: Bittman Marilyn
Published: November 2022

Recent transitions in resource management and recognition of the role of First Nations in resource management have heightened the need for conciliation of these two different views of the world and the place of people in it (world view). Efforts to amalgamate these diverse perspectives in resource management are impeded by a legacy of cultural imperialism and difficulties in understanding and accommodating differences in world views, including the place of resource management in society, the meanings and implications of incongruent language, the management of people and resources, and the characteristics of information and knowledge. We examine the consequences of each of these to the establishment of a unified management system that emphasizes points of commonality and is based on respect and communication.
Hemlock Dwarf Mistletoe Stand Establishment Decision Aid
Authors: Bittman Marilyn
Published: November 2022

Hemlock dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense), a parasitic seed plant, is endemic and common in coastal western hemlock forests from northern California to southern Alaska. The mistletoe spreads by seeds dispersed from residual to nearby trees. Over time, infestations can significantly reduce tree growth. Annual growth losses attributed to mistletoe infection are estimated at over 1 million m3 in coastal British Columbia. Variable retention silviculture regimes recently implemented in hemlock-dominated coastal forests create conditions that could exacerbate the spread, intensification, and effects of mistletoe.The Stand Establishment Decision Aid (SEDA) format has been used to extend information on various vegetation and forest health concerns in British Columbia. This is the second SEDA produced for the Coast Forest Region. It summarizes information that relates current management regimes to the spread and effects of hemlock dwarf mistletoe. The first page provides general information, hazard ratings for the biogeoclimatic zones and subzones of the Coast Forest Region, and silvicultural considerations for hemlock dwarf mistletoe. The second page outlines the growth and yield implications and other effects and associations of the pathogen. This page also includes a valuable resource and reference list to provide readers with more detailed information.

Understorey responses to mechanical restoration and drought within montane forests of British Columbia
Authors: Page Hillary N. , Bork Edward , Newman Reg
Published: November 2022

Pre- and post-thinning relationships between forest overstorey and understorey characteristics at sites in both the Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) and Ponderosa Pine (PP) biogeoclimatic zones in the East Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia were investigated to quantify understorey responses to dry forest restoration thinning. Pre-thinning data consistently indicated that understorey shrub and herb abundance were positively associated with light intensity and inversely with tree density (i.e., ingrowth) at both locations. Immediately after thinning, greater reductions in tree density or increases in understorey light were generally associated with greater reductions in understorey species richness, diversity, and shrub and herb cover; however, the presence of drought conditions complicated this effect. Overall, the results indicate that while the effects of ingrowth appear detrimental to understorey vegetation, the disturbance caused by mechanical thinning, particularly when accompanied by drought, can reduce the abundance of many important understorey characteristics in the short term. These results have management implications for areas where forest restoration using commercial thinning is being considered.
Coast Forest Region Roosevelt Elk Wildlife Habitat Decision Aid
Authors: Henigman John , Turner Jennifer , Swift Kathie
Published: November 2022

To conserve and maintain suitable elk winter range, forest companies are required to manage their road building, timber cutting, and other forestry activities. Regeneration and free-growing obligations must also be met when harvesting these areas. Harvesting and silvicultural strategies have significant effects on the incidence of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) in an area and the damage elk inflict when browsing on regenerating trees. This Wildlife Habitat Decision Aid (WHDA) summarizes the information that forest managers, including silviculture planners and operational foresters, need to consider when managing for Roosevelt elk seasonal habitat requirements and conifer regeneration. This information was obtained through an extensive literature analysis and discussions with several foresters and researchers familiar with Roosevelt elk in the (Vancouver) Coast Forest Region.The WHDA format has been used to extend information on the factors requiring consideration when managing forests in British Columbia. The first page of this WHDA provides information on habitat and important features of Roosevelt elk winter range, biogeoclimatic zones where elk are located, risks to consider when harvesting in Roosevelt elk range, and silvicultural risks and considerations. A map depicts the distribution of elk in the Coast Forest Region. The second page continues the discussion of silvicultural risks and considerations, and presents potential growth and yield implications associated with Roosevelt elk browse. Also included is a valuable resource and reference list that contains more detailed information. Most reference material that is not available on-line can be ordered through libraries or the Queen's Printer at: www.qp.gov.bc.ca.
