O conhecimento da interação entre a espécie e a época de semeadura é um importante instrumento para avaliar a capacidade agronômica de espécies de leguminosas tropicais. Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da época de semeadura na produção de biomassa de adubos verdes foi conduzido um experimento em blocos casualizados no esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetições. As parcelas foram compostas pelas espécies Crotalaria juncea, Crotalaria spectabilis, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp, Cajanus cajan, Dolichos lablab, Canavalia ensiformis e Mucuna aterrima e as subparcelas por três épocas de semeadura: 17 de maio, 02 de junho e 20 de junho. A produção de matéria verde foi diminuída com o atraso na época de semeadura, exceto para as espécies Crotalaria juncea, Crotalaria spectabilis. As espécies Crotalaria spectabilis, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp e Mucuna aterrima não sofreram influência da época de semeadura para a produção de matéria seca, podendo ser semeadas em qualquer uma das três épocas avaliadas. O atraso na época de semeadura diminuiu a produção de matéria seca das espécies Cajanus cajan, Dolichos lablab e Canavalia ensiformis. A relação percentual matéria seca por matéria verde diminuiu com o atraso da época de semeadura para as espécies de ciclos menores e aumentou para as espécies de ciclos mais longos, exceto para o Canavalia ensiformis.

O problema com plantas daninhas é um dos mais sérios e que são responsáveis pelos maiores gastos em seu controle, pois a disputa por água, nutrientes e luz pode causar uma diminuição significativa no rendimento da lavoura, depreciação na quantidade e na qualidade dos frutos. Desta forma, objetivou-se realizar o levantamento fitossociológico das plantas daninhas em área cultivada com a cultura do maracujá, na Universidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL, Campus de Arapiraca. Foram realizadas 6 amostragens com quadrado vazado de 0,50 m2, onde as plantas daninhas foram coletadas ao nível do solo, separadas por espécie, contadas e levadas à estufa, até massa constante, para determinação da massa seca. A partir desses valores, determinaram-se as seguintes características: frequência de plantas daninhas, frequência relativa, densidade, densidade relativa, abundância, abundância relativa, massa seca relativa, índice de importância e índice de importância relativa. Foram identificadas 18 espécies e 10 famílias botânicas, sendo 13 dicotiledôneas e 5 monocotiledôneas, a família Asteraceae foi a mais representativa, seguida pela Poaceae. Entre as dicotiledôneas, a Asteraceae apresentou maior número de espécies infestantes com 6 espécies. Nicandra physaloides Gaertn. Solaneceae apresentou maior índice de importância relativa (IVIr), 94,88 e em seguida por Amaranthus hybridus L. Amaranthaceae com IVIr de 1,68. O menor valor de IVIr foi obtido por Sida spinosa L. Malvaceae.

A etnopedologia considera saberes e fazeres gerados e transmitidos de geração a geração em comunidades tradicionais, relacionados aos valores simbólicos atribuídos aos solos. Mesmo que a vida do pescador seja associada à água, o Povoado São Pedro, do município de Jaramataia-Alagoas, também desenvolve atividades ligadas à terra, como plantio, criatório de animais, abertura de pastos, o próprio morar/habitar e o desenrolar do cotidiano, ancorados na síntese dialética entre terra e água. Esse trabalho objetivou compreender como a comunidade de pescadores constrói sua chave de identificação dos solos, elencando características quanto à produtividade, tonalidade, profundidade, altitude e usos diversos. Esses saberes podem subsidiar processos de planejamento e definições de políticas públicas para o uso sustentável dos solos do território pesqueiro. Metodologicamente, realizamos o levantamento bibliográfico sobre a etnopedologia com enfoque em comunidades tradicionais e suas cosmovisões sobre as tipologias de solo. Para obter a informação dessa variação realizamos a aplicação de entrevista semiestruturada associada à geoetnografia buscando compreender a relação entre o pescador e o seu solo, observando suas características e usos edáficos, pecuários e simbólicos.
Paroxetine Administration Alter some Biochemical Parameters in Male Wistar Rats Over a Systemic Period of Thirty-Five Days
Authors: Hamdalat Folake Muritala , Clement Olatubosun Bewaji
Published: May 2021

Paroxetine is often used to treat patients with psychotic disorders, one of the side effects of this medication is that it causes erectile dysfunction in such individuals. There is a little or no information on the effect of paroxetine on some biochemical and endothelial markers of experimental models, hence the need for this research. Biochemical and endothelial functional makers in male Wistar rats were evaluated after oral administration of paroxetine for 4, 7, 21, 28 and 35 days. Seventy-two (72) male Wistar rats were grouped into two of thirty-six rats in group A (control) which received normal saline and thirty-six rats in group B (paroxetine-treated) which received 10 mg/Kg body weight of paroxetine hydrochloride for 4, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35days respectively. During this period, six animals from the two groups were sacrificed on days 4,7,14, 21, 28 and 35 by anaesthesia using diethyl ether, blood was collected into lithium–heparinized bottles and the tissues of interest (penile and heart) of the rats were excised and preserved in ice-cold sucrose-tris buffer. Phosphodiesterase 5, arginase, nitric oxide were evaluated from the isolated tissue homogenates while cGMP, endothelin-1, creatine kinase, lipid profile and testosterone concentrations were evaluated from the plasma. The results revealed that during pre-treatment with paroxetine, there was significant (p < 0.05) 85.19 ± 4.64 and 92.58 ± 0.57 respectively PDE 5 inhibition in the penile and cardiac homogenates of rats. Nitric oxide concentration was significantly (p> 0.05) 2.96 ± 0.27 and 4.82 ± 0.05reduced while arginase activities increased significantly (p > 0.05) 272.16 ± 5.07 and 201.93 ± 11.82 during paroxetine treatment. Same trend of results were observed with plasma endothelin-1 concentration (12.88 ± 0.78), cGMP concentration (0.14 ± 0.00) and Testosterone concentration (0.46 ± 0.03) was significantly (p > 0.05) decreased during paroxetine-treatment. However, plasma creatine kinase 463.6 ± 50.96, triacyl glycerol 58.61 ± 5.49, total cholesterol 181.55 ± 9.72 and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 165.86 ± 9.72 were significantly (p < 0.05) increased during paroxetine-treatment. However, no significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed in the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 8.07 ± 0.46 during administration with paroxetine. From this study, it can be concluded that paroxetine administration altered erectile and endothelial markers throughout the period of administration and as such should be prescribed to patients with caution.

Pode uma Análise Prescindir do Dinheiro? Considerações sobre o Pagamento na Psicanálise
Authors: Ramos Geraldo Raoni Pereira da Silva , Dias Eliane Costa
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a possibilidade de oferecer tratamento psicanalítico para pessoas que não podem pagar monetariamente por uma análise. Para tal, utilizou-se textos de Freud, Lacan e outros autores da psicanálise que discorrem sobre a problemática do dinheiro e do pagamento em uma análise como referencial bibliográfico. Na história do movimento psicanalítico, retoma-se a criação da primeira instituição a oferecer atendimentos gratuitos para pessoas com baixa renda - a Policlínica Psicanalítica de Berlim, fundada por Max Eitingon, engajado pelas ideias de Freud de uma psicanálise aplicada ao social. Focalizando o manejo da questão do pagamento nas instituições psicanalíticas pós-freudianas, discutem-se as normas estabelecidas pela International Psychoanalitic Association (IPA) e pelo Centro Psicanalítico de Consultas e Tratamento (CPCT) em Paris, o qual inicialmente era conduzido pelo psicanalista Hugo Freda, no âmbito da Associação Mundial de Psicanálise (AMP), como um modo de posicionamento da psicanálise de orientação lacaniana diante do movimento pela regulamentação das psicoterapias na França. Além disso, buscou-se, na elaboração deste trabalho, uma reflexão sobre a função do pagamento e suas relações com o sintoma e o gozo na direção de um tratamento psicanalítico. Por fim, verificou-se que a questão do pagamento é uma variável fundamental a ser considerada na aposta sobre a efetividade da psicanálise aplicada às instituições.
Clinicopathological characteristics of primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy with immunoglobulin M deposition
Authors: Ouyang Han , Wen Jian , Song Kai , Shen Huaying
Published: May 2021

Introduction

Immunoglobulin (Ig) G deposition in patients with IgA nephro­pathy (IgAN) often indicates poor prognosis, but the relationship between IgM deposition and the clinicopathology of IgAN remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to further understand the relationship between IgM deposition and IgAN, so as to provide a basis for clinical evaluation and treatment.

Material and methods

We included a total of 839 IgAN patients from the nephropathy departments of 2 hospitals; there were 162 IgM-positive patients and 677 IgM-negative patients. Clinical and pathological data were retrospectively analysed. In addition, a multifaceted comparison was made between the IgM-positive group and the IgM-negative group.

Results

The serum albumin and IgG levels of the IgM-positive group were lower than those of the IgM-negative group, and the levels of low-density lipo­protein, 24 h proteinuria, and IgM were higher than those of the IgM-nega­tive group. The proportion of endothelial cell proliferation (E1), segmental sclerosis or adhesion (S1), and renal tubular interstitial score in the IgM-posi­tive group were all higher than those in the IgM-negative group. Immunofluo­rescence results showed that the proportion of IgM-positive combination and IgG and C1q deposition was higher than that in the IgM-negative group.

Conclusions

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy patients with IgM deposition have relatively poor clinical biochemical indicators, and the degree of renal pathological damage is also relatively serious.
Armies and Ecosystems in Premodern Europe
Authors: Govaerts Sander
Published: May 2021

Using the ecosystem concept as his starting point, the author examines the complex relationship between premodern armed forces and their environment at three levels: landscapes, living beings, and diseases. The study focuses on Europe’s Meuse Region, well-known among historians of war as a battleground between France and Germany. By analyzing soldiers’ long-term interactions with nature, this book engages with current debates about the ecological impact of the military, and provides new impetus for contemporary armed forces to make greater effort to reduce their environmental footprint.

Public debates tend to see social inequality as resulting from individual decisions people make, for instance with respect to their education or lifestyle. Solutions are often sought in supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the importance of social groups and communities in determining individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities, when members of some groups systematically receive fewer opportunities than others.

The essays in this book have been prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect.
Tolerance, Intolerance, and Recognition in Early Christianity and Early Judaism

Published: May 2021

This collection of essays investigates signs of toleration, recognition, respect and other positive forms of interaction between and within religious groups of late antiquity. At the same time, it acknowledges that examples of tolerance are significantly fewer in ancient sources than examples of intolerance and are often limited to insiders, while outsiders often met with contempt, or even outright violence. The essays take both perspectives seriously by analysing the complexity pertaining to these encounters. Religious concerns, ethnicity, gender and other social factors central to identity formation were often intertwined and they yielded different ways of drawing the limits of tolerance and intolerance. This book enhances our understanding of the formative centuries of Jewish and Christian religious traditions. It also brings the results of historical inquiry into dialogue with present-day questions of religious tolerance.

The book contains contributions by Ismo Dunderberg, Carmen Palmer, Michael Labahn, Nina Nikki, Anna-Liisa Rafael, Sami Yli-Karjanmaa, Galit Hasan-Rokem & Israel Yuval, Paul Middleton, Outi Lehtipuu, Elizabeth Dowling, and Amy-Jill Levine.
St Francis for Protestants
Authors: Os Henk
Published: May 2021

Lorenzo Monaco's striking fifteenth-century portrayal of the stigmatisation of St. Francis was once owned by the art collector Otto Lanz. What prompted Lanz to buy Monaco's painting in the 1920s? Was it simply because he saw it as a beautiful, unique work of art? Or was there something more-could Lanz have been drawn in by the mystical experience that the painting depicts? In this essay, Henk van Os attempts to uncover the motivation for Otto Lanz's purchase, in the process raising provocative questions about our relationship to religious art in a more secular era.

The Chinese Communist Youth League
Authors: Tsimonis Konstantinos
Published: May 2021

The Chinese Communist Youth League is the largest youth political organization in the world, with over 80 million members. Former Chinese President Hu Jintao was a firm supporter of the League, and believed that it could play a bigger role in winning the hearts and minds of Chinese youth by actively engaging with their interests and demands. Accordingly, he provided the League with a new youth work mandate to increase its capacity for responsiveness under the slogan 'keep the Party assured and the youth satisfied'. This original investigation of the hitherto-unexamined organization uses a combination of interviews, surveys and ethnography to explore how the League implemented Hu's mandate at both local and national levels, exposing the contradictory nature of some of its campaigns. By doing so, it also sheds light on the reasons for Xi Jinping's turn against the League during his first term in office.

The Chinese Communist Youth League: Juniority and Responsiveness in a Party Youth Organization develops the original concept of 'juniority' to capture the complex ways that generational power is institutionalized, alienating young people from official political processes, with significant implications for China's political development. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of Chinese politics, as well as to scholars of comparative youth politics and sociology.
Enclosed Gardens of Mechelen
Authors: Watteeuw Lieve , Iterbeke Hannah
Published: May 2021

During the Late Middle Ages a unique type of ‘mixed media’ recycled and remnant art arose in houses of religious women in the Low Countries: enclosed gardens. They date from the time of Emperor Charles V and are unique examples of ‘anonymous’ female art, devotion and spirituality. A hortus conclusus (or enclosed garden) represents an ideal, paradisiacal world. Enclosed Gardens are retables, sometimes with painted side panels, the central section filled not only with narrative sculpture, but also with all sorts of trinkets and hand-worked textiles.Adornments include relics, wax medallions, gemstones set in silver, pilgrimage souvenirs, parchment banderoles, flowers made from textiles with silk thread, semi-precious stones, pearls and quilling (a decorative technique using rolled paper). The ensemble is an impressive and one-of-a-kind display and presents as an intoxicating garden. The sixteenth-century horti conclusi of the Mechelen Hospital sisters are recognized Masterpieces and are extremely rare, not alone at a Belgian but even at a global level. They are of international significance as they provide evidence of devotion and spirituality in convent communities in the Southern Netherlands in the sixteenth century. They are an extraordinary tangible expression of a devotional tradition. The highly individual visual language of the enclosed gardens contributes to our understanding of what life was like in cloistered communities. They testify to a cultural identity closely linked with mystical traditions allowing us to enter a lost world very much part of the culture of the Southern Netherlands. This book is the first full survey of the enclosed gardens and is the result of year-long academic research.

Published: May 2021

Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast, offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history, demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether through their own lived experiences or through material culture. The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.
Migrant Protest
Authors: Steinhilper Elias
Published: May 2021

Migrant protest has proliferated worldwide in the last two decades, explicitly posing questions of identity, rights, and equality in a globalized world. Nonetheless, such mobilizations are often considered anomalies in social movement studies, and political sociology more broadly, due to "weak interests" and a particularly disadvantageous position of "outsiders" to claim rights connected to citizenship. In an attempt to address this seeming paradox, Migrant Protest: Interactive Dynamics in Precarious Mobilizations explores the interactions and spaces shaping the emergence, trajectory, and fragmentation of migrant protest in unfavorable contexts of marginalization. Such a perspective unveils both the odds of precarious mobilizations and the ways they can be temporarily overcome. While adopting the encompassing terminology of "migrant," this book focuses on precarious migrants, including both asylum seekers and "illegalized" migrants.

Published: May 2021

Already celebrated as a busy entrepôt and the most glorious of the Malay kingdoms of the past, Melaka has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List (together with George Town) since 2008 on the strength of its multi-ethnic and multi-religious urban fabric. Yet, contrary to the expectations of heritage experts and aficionados, the global mission of safeguarding cultural heritages has become a tumultuous issue on the ground.

In World Heritage and Urban Politics in Melaka, Malaysia: A Cityscape below the Winds how the World Heritage 'label' has been, and continue to be used by different actors – such as international organizations, nation states, and society at large – to generate new economic revenues as well as to attract tourists and investments for large-scale real estate development projects is analyzed, revealing the complex and often contradictory stories behind heritage designations in urban milieus.
Elucidating the meaning of democracy through narrative
Authors: Wells Tamas
Published: May 2021

As opposed to the assumption of an ‘ideal type’ of democracy – which
is present in much mainstream democratisation scholarship – the
second chapter in this book begins by drawing on W.B. Gallie’s notion
of the ‘essential contestability’ of democracy. Meanings given to the
word ‘democracy’ are inevitably open-ended and dependent on context.
Recent interpretive studies have established the context-specif ic
nature of meanings of democracy and sought to ‘elucidate’ meanings
of democracy on their own terms. Chapter Two extends this work to
show how attention to narratives can ground and locate meanings
of democracy and expose the ways in which they can be wielded as
political tools.
The General Data Protection Regulation in Plain Language
Authors: Sloot Bart
Published: May 2021

The General Data Protection Regulation in Plain Language is a guide for anyone interested in the much-discussed rules of the GDPR. In this legislation, which came into force in 2018, the European Union meticulously describes what you can and cannot do with data about other people. Violating these rules can lead to a fine of up to 20 million euros.

This book sets out the most important obligations of individuals and organisations that process data about others. These include taking technical security measures, carrying out an impact assessment and registering all data-processing procedures within an organisation. It also discusses the rights of citizens whose data are processed, such as the right to be forgotten, the right to information and the right to data portability.
Catholic Social Networks in Early Modern England
Authors: Cogan Susan M.
Published: May 2021

Catholic Social Networks in Early Modern England: Kinship, Gender, and Coexistence explores the lived experience of Catholic women and men in the post-Reformation century. Set against the background of the gendered dynamics of English society, this book demonstrates that English Catholics were potent forces in the shaping of English culture, religious policy, and the emerging nation-state. Drawing on kinship and social relationships rooted in the medieval period, post Reformation English Catholic women and men used kinship, social networks, gendered strategies, political actions, and cultural activities like architecture and gardening to remain connected to patrons and to ensure the survival of their families through a period of deep social and religious change. This book contributes to recent scholarship on religious persecution and coexistence in post-Reformation Europe by demonstrating how English Catholics shaped state policy and enforcement of religious minorities and helped to define the character of early models of citizenship formation.

Published: May 2021

Departing from the present need for cultural models within the public debate, this volume offers a new contribution to the study of cultural icons. From the traditional religious icon to the modern mass media icon, from the recognizable visual icon to the complex entanglement of image and collective narratives: The Construction and Dynamics of Cultural Icons offers an overview of existing theories, compares different definitions and proposes a comprehensive view on the icon and the iconic. Focusing in particular on the making of iconic representations and their changing social-cultural meanings through time, scholars from cultural memory studies, art history and literary studies present concrete operationalizations of the ways different types of cultural icons can be studied.
The Communist Judicial System in China, 1927-1976
Authors: Fang Qiang
Published: May 2021

Drawing on hundreds of newly released judicial archives and court cases, this book analyzes the communist judicial system in China from its founding period to the death of Mao Zedong. It argues that the communist judicial system was built when the CCP was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the GMD, meaning that the overriding aim of the judicial system was, from the outset, to safeguard the Party against both internal and external adversaries. This fundamental insecurity and perennial fear of loss of power obsessed the Party throughout the era of Mao and beyond, prompting it to launch numerous political campaigns, which forced communist judicial cadres to choose between upholding basic legal norms and maintaining Party order. In doing all of this, The Communist Judicial System in China, 1927-1976: Building on Fear fills a major lacuna in our understanding of communist-era China.

Shattering the Glass Ceiling: (Re) reading the World Economic Forum Report of 2017 on Woman Empowerment
Authors: Kalekye Mumo Joyce Viata;
Published: May 2021

Empowerment of women has set on fire an awakening in women in which they have started to set their seats at the top of the table. In this age and time, there are more women in boardroom tables and even in the political arena than ever before. Women have become determined to push through the glass ceiling, and there are significant milestones that have been achieved in different fields that women have set their eyes on. The glass ceiling, however, just like a dark cloud still hovers over women and hinders their success. This paper is informed by the World Economic Forum report of 2017 which states that women have closed gender gaps in health and education areas. However, inequalities still burgeon in the workplace and also in politics. This paper aims to provide an introduction that discusses the concept of the glass ceiling, the reasons as to why the glass ceiling still exists in the workplace and politics, and the ways women can shatter the glass ceiling in finding their freedom that has no cloud of inhibitions. This paper concludes that women need support from other women, from organisations, from men and the society at large to shatter the glass ceiling or at least make cracks on the ceiling.
The Nexus between Public Perception of the Elderly Person’s Self-Efficacy and the Uptake of Institutionalised Care for the Elderly in Nakuru County, Kenya
Authors: James Kay Sellah Jerop Chepkwony;
Published: May 2021

This study sought to determine the public perception of self-efficacy of the older people to take care of themselves. It was also intended to determine the factors influencing the uptake of formal care services in Kenya. The study engaged 400 respondents from Nakuru County, who were selected through purposive and stratified random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The results reveal that indeed the level of awareness of the existence of the formal care services in Kenya is very low and that majority of the interviewed respondents were reluctant to enrol their relatives to the formal care homes. The result further indicates that health and the psychosocial status of the older people influence the decision of the members of the community interviewed to enrol the older relatives in formal care homes. It emerged from the results that the majority of the people declined the use of the services despite agreeing that their older relatives faced challenges that would warrant their enrolment for the services. We, therefore, recommend that a marketing plan for the services to be designed with an inherent system societal perception re-engineering so that a positive attitude towards services be formed. Psychosocial therapy provision should also be a key service of the care services since it emerged that older people suffering neglect and abuse were the most likely to be enrolled where there’s the availability of services.
A Review of the History of the Kalenjin Bible Translation
Authors: Shadrack Chebet Rotich
Published: May 2021

This paper is a review of the history of the Kalenjin bible translation in Kenya. History has proved that the word of God both in verbal and in written form has made a visible practical impact in the Kalenjin community in her whole spheres of life: spiritually, socially, intellectually, morally, and economically. Christianity is not to be hidden or made complicated rather it should be accessible and available to all people as Sim in 1999 points out that “Christianity is open to the translation of its scriptures” (p.130) for everyone to be able to read and understand. In order for us to know more about God, he purposefully revealed himself to us through the Holy Scriptures. The Kalenjin people are among the people of God, and they too want to relate and fellowship with God. Hence, we should have the scriptures in their language and more so their dialect.  This research paper was based on an interview from Pastor Edwin Suter, who is currently involved in Kalenjin Bible translation based in Eldoret (BTL). Therefore, in this paper, I will briefly explain about the Kalenjin people, an overview of the history of the translation of Kalenjin Bible, some factors necessitating translation, the impacts and finally conclude by giving some recommendations.
