Advancements and Challenges in Aptamer-Based Therapeutics and Diagnostics Across Diverse Medical Domains: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Ali Agha Ahmed S.A. , Alshaer Walhan , Aburjai Talal
Published: June 2024

Aptamers, which are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules, are increasingly recognized as important tools in diagnostics and therapeutics across various medical disciplines such as oncology, respiratory diseases, and neurological disorders. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the recent progress and obstacles encountered in the field of aptamer-based applications. Aptamers have shown promise in oncology for early cancer detection and targeted drug delivery, effectively reducing off-target effects. They also hold potential for significantly impacting the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by selectively targeting cytokines and regulating the inflammatory response. In the realm of neurological disorders, aptamers offer novel methods by influencing the gut-brain axis and proposing potential approaches for early detection and specific therapy. Despite these notable benefits, persistent challenges remain in areas such as molecular stability, delivery mechanisms, and economic viability. This review offers a comprehensive overview of aptamer-based diagnostics and therapeutics while exploring potential avenues for future research.

Presumption of guilt in the Russian criminal law
Authors: Veklenko Sergey
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The problem of correct understanding of the essence, content and legislative regulation of guilt continues to be one of the most actual for the national criminal law, as many conceptual issues directly depend on its correct solution. Undoubtedly, at different times this problem repeatedly became the subject of scientific research, but not all controversial and ambiguous issues have been brought to a solution acceptable by the majority of scientists and law enforcement officials. Methods. In the process of scientific research general scientific methods (dialectical, systemic, structural, formal-logical, analysis, synthesis, analogy, functional) and speciallegal methods of research (legal-technical, dogmatic, comparative-legal) were used. In particular, the use of paired categories of dialectics made it possible to establish an inseparable connection and interdependence between the concept and essence of guilt, between its forms and content. Results. The author formulates an original concept of guilt of a person having committed an offence, as well as its most significant forms of manifestation for law enforcement practice, which require legislative enshrinement and law enforcement use in counteracting modern crime. For practical implementation of the formulated proposals, the author considers it necessary to make appropriate changes in the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Object, subject and system of criminalistics: are there prerequisites for expansion?
Authors: Golovin Alexander
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The main purpose of criminalistics is to solve a number of theoretical and applied problems of fighting crime, increase ofeffectiveness and efficiency of activities aimed at solution, investigation and prevention of crime. At the same time, the knowledge obtained in the course of forensic research is in demand in other spheres of legal, managerial, economic and other activities.The possibilities of adaptation and use of forensic knowledge and developments in legal and other activities not related to the detection, investigation and prevention of crime, led to the emergence in forensic literature of various suggestions to expand the object and subject of forensic science, to transform its system.Such suggestions should be the subject of scientific and forensic analysis and discussion. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was formed by general scientific and specific scientific means of perception: dialectical, formal logic (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), historical, systemic, comparative study, hermeneutic and a number of others. Results. The study evaluated the possibilities of using the results of forensic research and forensic knowledge based on them not only in the work aimed at detection, investigation and prevention of crime, but also in other areas of legal, managerial, economic and other activities. The viewpointsof forensic scientists presented in the legal literature and dealing with the possibility of expanding the object-subject area and system of criminalistics in the context of the actual application and adaptation of criminalistics knowledge in civil and administrative proceedings, private detective, security, notarial, business activities, have been analysed and critically evaluated. The author’s conclusion is substantiated that, despite the potentialities and actual application and adaptation of forensic knowledge in various areas of law enforcement and other non-criminalistic activities, there are no grounds and theoretical and methodological prerequisites for expanding the object, subject and system of traditional forensic science, changing its purpose and objectives.
Analysis of foreign studies results on video recording an interrogation
Authors: Engalychev Vali , Lyfenko Dmitry
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Cases of refusal by a person questioned to testify after the first interrogation, repeated changes in the content of his testimony, statements of an interrogated person and his lawyers about the use of inadmissible methods of investigation against him, etc. inspire the search for reliable means of recording oral texts and the very situation of texts production during an interrogation. Properly technically and psychologically organised video recording of investigative actions presents a valuable tool for analysing the behaviour of an interrogated person and reliable evidence at the subsequent, judicial stage of the investigation. Methods. The research is based on the system approach, general scientific methods (theoretical analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), specific scientific methods: specification, interpretation, comparative research method. The foreign experience of conducting investigative actions with the use of video recording during an interrogation of especially valuable suspects has been generalised. The obtained results were interpreted by means of expert psychological analysis. Results. Interpersonal interaction during interrogation process, supported by tracking the dynamics of communicative behaviour through psychological examination of the video record, present more significant results and higher confession rates than traditional interrogation techniques. Of particular importance is the use of psychotherapeutic techniques and the construction of motivational discourse, in particular, sustained rapport, which allows establishing reliable relationship of trust between an investigator and an interviewee. Training investigators in the psychological frameworkof using video recording, and further analysis of their performance before and after training, show significant changes in the use of evidence-based interrogation tactics, including extendeduse of open-ended questions, positive affirmations, and basic elements of cognitive interview, which has prolonged positive effect.
Structural-functional concept of relations of criminogenic personality to social environment: prerequisites, principles and provisions
Authors: Zlokazov Kirill
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The research is devoted to describing the background, theoretical foundations and results of conceptualisation of the relations of a criminogenic personality to the social environment. The relevance of the concept development is conditioned by the disparate scientific ideas on the relations of a criminogenic personality to the persons and groups forming his/her social environment. The social significance is conditioned by the low efficiency of resocialisation and reintegration of persons repeatedly prosecuted for criminal offences, their increased criminalisation and marginalisation after release from correctional facilities. The research methods are general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, categorisation, modelling, used to systematise theoretical knowledge in the form of a set of principles and provisions of the concept. The results of the research are the provisions of the structural-functional concept of relations of a criminogenic personality, revealing the importance of social environment for the life activity of a criminogenic personality at different stages of criminalisation, the principles of structuring the social environment on the basis of the provisions of systemic, subjective and psychosocial approaches to the study of personality. The invariant and variant functions of relations to social environment and their significance for the adaptation of a criminogenic personality, formation of his/her self-relationship and complicity in self-realisation are described. The negative role of criminal orientation, worsening the social functioning of a criminogenic personality and contributing to his/her criminalisation, is asserted. The author indicates that the relations of a criminogenic personality from the position of their influence on the social environment can have destructive and constructive forms, which affects the structural characteristics of relations. The possibilities of transformation of relations of a criminogenic personality to social environment are revealed, the grounds for the development of psychological technology are described. In the conclusion the theoretical and methodological perspectives of applying the concept to the study and change of attitudes of criminogenic personality are described.

Authors: Rean Artur , Avdeeva Ekaterina , Konovalov Ivan
Published: June 2024

Relevance. The article is devoted to the problem of teachers’ evaluation of risk indicators of aggressive behavior involvement among adolescents. The paper examines the problem of the dependence of the involvement risk assessment on the personal characteristics of the teacher, especially, locus of control. Aim. To assess the relationship between the level of the teacher’s locus of control and their perception of the markers of victimization of adolescents. Materials and Methods. The sample consisted of 4.453 school teachers (94 % are female). The participants are residents of seven regions of the Russian Federation. The method “Level of Subjective Control” (“LSC”) by E. F. Bazhin, E. A. Golynkina, A. M. Etkind was used. To assess teachers’ perceptions of victimization markers, the authors analyzed the answers to the question “How do you usually recognize that the child is suffering aggression?” The question is included in the standardized questionnaire of the Center for Socialization, Family and Prevention of Antisocial Behavior Research of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. Results. The data analysis revealed that teachers who marked the options proposed in the questionnaire as the markers of adolescent victimization have statistically significantly higher scores (higher absolute values) on various subjective locus control scales. Conclusion. Teachers who tend to internality have significantly higher scores on various markers of victimization as indicators of adolescents’ involvement in aggressive behavior.
Features of organization and activity of courts and bar in Irkutsk province in the 20s of the XX century
Authors: Gribunov Oleg , Tumurova Anna , Stepanova Elena
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Five years after the October Revolution of 1917, the need to eliminate the revolutionary courts and to create a new judicial system was formed. At the same time, the problem of financing the judicial system and selecting professional personnel for working in courts of various levels remained. In 1922, the advocacy started to take shape, but was still under the close supervision of the authorities. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the work is the dialectical method of cognition, which made it possible to trace the interrelationships between various facts and events. The analysis of statistical information in conjunction with the historical method of research revealed a clear vision of the functioning of the judicial system in Irkutsk province in 1921-1926. The results of the study outlined the problems of judicial reform in the 1920s of the XXth century. By the example of the courts of Irkutsk province the problem of dependence of the courts’ activity on the Party and political situation in the country is demonstrated. The problem of low qualification of court employees in combination with heavy workload of criminal and especially civil cases is also reflected. The issue of formation of state arbitration in Irkutsk is touched upon. The formation of a new judicial system was a logical and necessary step after the stabilisation of the political situation in the country and in connection with the changeover to the New Economic Policy. Simultaneously with the formation of the court system, the legal profession developed in the form of collegiums of defence counsel at the courts, but both the court and the collegiums were still under the influence of the Party and Soviet power.

Memory in Philosophy of Religion
Authors: Briedis Mindaugas
Published: June 2024

This article analyzes the notion of memory in the philosophy of religion. The area of this problematic is defined by Descartes, who, in a thought experiment, postulates an all-powerful, evil demon capable of falsifying human perception. The problem of solipsism raised here also implies doubt about claims based on memory. Descartes’ assumptions are taken up constructively by Alvin Plantinga in his attempt to solve problems in the epistemology of religion by raising the following new question: is belief in God rational, and, if so, is it justified? Peter van Inwagen, for his part, uses memory analysis to construct arguments in support of theodicy. In considering these issues, other key topics within the philosophy of religion, such as the afterlife and the existence of the soul, which are closely related to the analysis of personal identity, inevitably arise.
The Teacher Spiritual Development in the Reference to the Metaphorical Understanding of “Education as a Spiritual Journey” by Parker J. Palmer
Authors: Szymańska Maria
Published: June 2024

Objective of the article: The aim of the article is to elicit and show the correlation between a spiritual teacher’s development and education seen as a spiritual journey in a pedagogical, personalistic perspective. The research question is as follows: How does the relationship between the teacher’s spiritual development and Palmer’s perception of education in spiritual perception look?
Research method: To answer the research question, the method of hermeneutic content analysis seems to be appropriate, as it provides a deeper meaning of education rooted in spirituality for the teacher seen as a unity achieved in the integrative process of formation.
A short description of the context of the presented issue:
The contents of the article are rooted in the personalistic perspective and cover the reference to spirituality, to some extent corresponding with human spiritual development and teacher spiritual development, tightly connected with Parker J. Palmer’s concept of education perceived in the spiritual dimension.
Research findings: The article elicits the meaning of spirituality in the quality of teacher development and the need to provide a space for spirituality in education, in the care of future generations. The research emphasizes that students achieving a spiritual identity on a transpersonal level can become fruitful for contemporary civilization, and further research in this light demands engagement of the broader scientific community, working in the personalistic paradigm.
Conclusions and recommendations: Education lacking the space for spirituality determined by higher values does not foster the building of the wholeness of a person and can cause many problems with forming one’s identity, the core of which is a spiritual identity on the autonomous, transpersonal level. The conclusion is that the more “technical/pragmatic” approaches to education are propagated, the more problems in the functioning of future generations can appear. That is why the core curriculum in education needs changing, which should be followed by changes in teacher higher education and training.
Does Tutoring Develop Reflexivity?
Authors: Perkowska-Klejman Anna
Published: June 2024

Research objectives (aims) and problem(s): The article presents the results of research on the development of students’ reflective thinking. The purpose of the research was to determine the level of students’ reflexivity when they began participating in a tutoring project, and then to verify it after the project ended.
Research methods: The first phase of research was conducted in October 2020. Two groups of students took part in the research: those undergoing tutoring (n = 70) and those not undergoing tutoring (n = 77). The tool used was the Polish adaptation of the Reflective Thinking Questionnaire. The four scales of the questionnaire are habitual action, understanding, reflection and critical reflection. The research – in the same groups – was repeated in 2023.
Structure of the article: The article has a classic layout. First, the concepts of tutoring and reflectivity in education are presented. Then the research method and results are presented.
Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: The importance of the tutoring method for the development of reflexivity was recognised by analysing the results of both the tutored and non-tutored groups. The tutored group developed in terms of reflexivity and critical reflection, but also in habitual action. Students who did not participate in tutoring did not make such progress. The research also established relationships between other educational and sociocultural variables and students’ levels of reflexivity. Academic performance, knowledge of foreign languages and parents’ education were taken into account.
Conclusions and/or recommendations: The research made it possible to better identify the attributes of the most talented students, and to further identify possible opportunities for their development. An additional added value of this study is that the participants will be better able to understand themselves in terms of development. Those from the tutoring group were especially interested in their individual results.

Published: June 2024

Research objectives (aims) and problem(s): The aim of the article is to present the results of an evaluation study of an educational and preventive programme implemented in eight year 4 groups in six Krakow primary schools. The programme, entitled KOTWICA, ran from December 2021 to June 2022. The evaluation was external and comprehensive. During the programme, the evaluation of the process and of the outcome were carried out in the pre-test–post-test format. The research question is “what are the results of the evaluation of the KOTWICA educational and preventive programme for students of the fourth year of primary school?”
Research methods: Eight proprietary tools were used to evaluate the process, and two standardised tools were used to evaluate the result. The collected material was subjected to statistical processing, whilst the qualitative data was encoded, categorised and analysed using tools for qualitative data analysis.
Structure of the article: At the beginning, the authors justify the undertaking of the research and introduce the subject of the study on the basis of theoretical findings and the state of research in the field of school prevention. Then the research objectives are described and the research problem is defined. In turn, the research method, the selection criteria for the study group and the principles of data collection and processing are described. The results of the research and the limitations of the research process were also described. Finally, the conclusions of the research and recommendations for the theory and policy of school prevention are described.
Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: The results of the evaluation allow us to conclude that the objective of the educational and preventive programme conducted in year 4 was achieved and that it met the needs of the participants. However, they do not allow us to draw clear conclusions as to the effectiveness of the educational activities, due to the limitations of the collected research material.
Conclusions and/or recommendations: In the light of the results, the authors drew conclusions regarding the methodology of evaluation studies and recommendations for preventive and educational practice.
Some Challenges for the Teaching Profession
Authors: Piwowarski Rafał
Published: June 2024

Purpose and problems: The purpose of this article is to investigate some challenges for working teachers and to present selected issues that are not always known and understood, but which concern one of the key problems of education: the profession of teaching.
Research methods: In this article, the “teacher” aspect is examined in a comparative context: from the perspective of social, economic and political conditions. For this purpose, methods of comparative analysis relating to a number of indicators and information from an international perspective are used (based on a critical choice of data from different studies). This helps clarify some relationships that can be found.
Structure of the article: The article consists of three parts. The first part focusses on inclusive education (here limited mainly to the inclusion of culturally and linguistically diverse students). The second addresses the financing of education and the work of the teacher (with a focus on student performance against this background), whilst the third part covers issues such as digital transformation and scientific capital.
Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: The information and theses presented herein allow one to look at the teaching profession in a way that is less pedagogical and more political or social.
Results/recommendations: Firstly, the paper shows that many teachers are not well-prepared to teach students from different ethnic backgrounds, speaking foreign languages etc. A second, somewhat more widely discussed point is that teachers generally earn less than workers with similar education. Furthermore, in some cases, it is not always more funding for education or higher salaries for teachers that result in better student performance. Thirdly, teachers should keep up with the digital transformation and teaching needs connected with science capital.

A qualitative, phenomenological study of scabies patients at Cikatomas Health Center
Authors: Linasari Desy , Mustika Sari Sylvia , Andriani Selly , kristiana Ris , Juliastuti Henny
Published: June 2024

Infestation with the Sarcoptes scabies mite causes scabies, an infectious skin disease that is often found in densely populated areas. This disease is characterized by itching, especially at night, as well as the appearance of rashes and lesions on the skin. Scabies is an endemic public health problem that attacks groups of people with poor personal hygiene. This research aims to understand the experiences of scabies patients regarding their disease journey, including treatment and prevention efforts. The research method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and a total of seven participants from Cikatomas Health Center, Tasikmalaya Regency, were included. We collected data through in-depth interviews. From the research results, five themes emerged regarding the experiences of scabies patients in their disease journey: symptoms, risk factors, chain of transmission, treatment efforts, and prevention efforts. In conclusion, during the onset of symptoms, patients reported experiencing intense itching, particularly, in several areas of the body. The most prominent risk factors found in patients were poor personal hygiene and inadequate housing density. The chain of transmission occurred due to contact with other scabies patients, including a history of sharing beds in dormitories and using shared items. Patients sought treatment at health facilities, but did not receive treatment together with friends or other affected family members, thereby allowing the chain of transmission to continue. Prevention efforts have been made by improving personal hygiene.
Efficacy of Keratinolytic Bacteria (Bacillus pumilus) for decomposing non-sparingly degradable poultry feathers from waste to wealth
Authors: Aishwath Om Prakash , Jangir Chetan Kumar , Manglani Neetu
Published: June 2024

There is a growing need for economical and environmentally responsible ways to valorizing poultry feather waste, and keratinolytic bacteria show significant promise. A single strain of Bacillus pumilus NM03, which was isolated from living poultry and has been shown to have substantial keratinolytic characteristics, degrades feathers. In this work, the effects of temperature on the quality of compost prepared with wheat and coriander straw were assessed both alone and in combination with thermophilic microbial inoculation. Temperature @ 37°C + inoculum significantly reduced total nitrogen loss (56.20 and 69.80%) and total organic carbon degradation (47.06 and 62.41%) in coriander and wheat straw composting, respectively, when compared to temperature @37°C. For different regression models, the higher and lower R2 values were estimated for the linear-linear and log logistic models for coriander with feather composting, and the linear-linear and linear models for wheat with feather composting, respectively. The principal component loading matrix obtained from correlation matrix reveals that the first three components whose eigen values are greater than 1, together account for about 91.70% and 87.69 % of the total explained variance in coriander and wheat with feather composting, respectively. Furthermore, our results showed that temperature @ 37°C + inoculum were most suited for feather composting with wheat and coriander straw for total organic carbon and total nitrogen breakdown was expedited for increased bacterial richness and diversity, as well as Bacillus pumilus overrepresentation. The quality of end-product obtained based on final C: N ratio coriander compost with feathers was found to be the best supplement for composting of such highly keratinoluytic waste.

Published: June 2024

Globally, Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) remains a health concern, with an annual increase in cases. Indonesia is the second-highest contributor to PTB cases globally, below India, which also saw an increase in cases, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infections contribute to the increase in PTB cases through misdiagnosis and overlapping conditions. The occurrence of changes in the composition of NTM species in the Mycobacterium genus is the premise for updating the diagnosis of NTM with several supporting examination modalities. Clinical, radiological, and microbiological criteria have been established by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for the diagnosis of NTM. The relationship between these three criteria is essential as a guideline for distinguishing infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) from those caused by NTM.

MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION- MAKING APPROACH IN SINGLE FACILITY LOCATION SELECTION: A PROPOSAL FOR AN INTEGRATED MODEL
Authors: Yanık Oktay
Published: June 2024

Selecting the right single-plant facility is crucial to maximizing the use of limited resources and minimizing effort waste. This study aims to provide decision-makers with a practical and effective approach that is as far as possible from individual subjective judgments when deciding on a single-plant facility. It differs from some other studies in the literature that leave the prioritization and weighting of criteria in the background in that it proposes a model in which decision-makers can determine their criteria for the location selection of a single facility and determine the extent to which these criteria are present in their alternatives. The step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) methods were used with an integrated approach. The results revealed that the approach used in this study was highly successful in the selection of a community pharmacy facility as a single-plant organization.

THE HELMAND RIVER WATER DISPUTE BETWEEN IRAN AND AFGHANISTAN: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND, POTENTIAL RISKS AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Authors: Kocatepe Damla
Published: June 2024

The dispute over the allocation of water in the Helmand River has been ongoing between Iran and Afghanistan for many years. Despite various steps taken and the agreement reached in 1973, the issue remains unresolved, causing tensions between the two countries, especially during drought periods. The prepared study aims to provide answers to why river water is so important and why the issue has not yet been resolved through historical and strategic analyses. However, beyond this, the main focus and therefore the purpose of this study is to identify the potential risks that may arise if the problem remains unresolved and to propose solutions. In this context, the study attempts to provide some concrete suggestions through the benefit-sharing theory categorized into four headings by Claudia W. Sadoff and David Grey, thereby offering an alternative perspective for a solution. This study argues that if the water issue persists, certain developments may emerge in both countries, but particularly in Iran, which could affect both internal and regional balances.

Kamu değeri yaklaşımında “evrensel tek iyi yönetim” öneren geleneksel ve yeni kamu yönetimi teorilerinin ötesinde bağlam, üretilen değer ve görevin doğası gibi koşullar öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın konusu; kamu değeri yaklaşımında “stratejik üçgen” olarak ifade edilen “meşrulaştırma ve destek”, “icra kapasitesi” ve “değer” kavramlarının Kutadgu Bilig’de izlerinin sürülmesidir. Çalışmada Kutadgu Bilig, betimsel içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenecektir. Çalışmanın temel amacı; kamu değeri yaklaşımının temel varsayımları ile Kutadgu Bilig’de vurgulanan yönetim ilkelerinin kritik edilmesidir. Dolayısıyla kamu yönetimi disiplinine Türk yönetim düşüncesi merkezli bir katkı sunmak temel amaç olarak belirtilebilir. Kutadgu Bilig bu yönüyle değerlendirildiğinde, Türk yönetim düşüncesindeki tarihsel öneminin ötesinde mevcut teorik gelişmeler boyutuyla da fırsat penceresi sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, Kutadgu Bilig’in yönetim önerilerinin kamu değeri yaklaşımı için geniş bir açılım alanı oluşturduğu sonucu, temel bulgulardan birisi olarak vurgulanabilir.

Introdução: A gestão da dor pós-operatória é um aspecto crítico do cuidado ao paciente, e abordagens multimodais têm se mostrado eficazes. Essas abordagens combinam diferentes técnicas e medicamentos para obter um controle da dor mais eficaz e reduzir os efeitos colaterais. Objetivo: Compreender as abordagens multimodais na gestão da dor pós-operatória. Metodologia: A revisão da literatura foi conduzida em bases de dados eletrônicas, como PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science, utilizando termos de busca relacionados à anestesia, dor pós-operatória e abordagens multimodais. Resultados: A gestão da dor pós-operatória é um aspecto crítico do cuidado ao paciente, e abordagens multimodais têm se mostrado eficazes. Essas abordagens combinam diferentes técnicas e medicamentos para obter um controle da dor mais eficaz e reduzir os efeitos colaterais. Entre as estratégias comuns utilizadas está a analgesia controlada pelo paciente (PCA), que permite que os pacientes administrem pequenas doses de analgésicos, geralmente opioides, conforme necessário. Conclusão: Essas abordagens, quando combinadas e personalizadas, podem melhorar significativamente o controle da dor pós-operatória, acelerar a recuperação e aumentar a satisfação do paciente.

No estado do Acre o cultivo da banana é destaque agrícola e commercial. Esse sucesso se deve a diversos fatores como aptidão às condições edafoclimáticas, possibilidade de produção ao longo do ano, alta demanda por consumidores varejistas e atacadistas. No entanto, a limitação da disponibilidade hídrica durante a condução agrícola é a realidade para diversos produtores. Na banicultura, estudos no manejo de irrigação possibilita ao produtor escolher a manejo adequado a sua realidade e assim garantir a produtividade esperada. Diante disso, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes lâminas de irrigação sobre o crescimento e produtividade da bananeira Prata comum irrigada por microaspersão em condições ambientais da Amazônia ocidental brasileira. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Universidade Federal do Acre, Rio Branco, Acre. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos ao acaso, com quatro blocos, seis plantas por blocos. O arranjo estatístico utilizado foi parcelas subdividida em dois níveis, sendo cinco lâminas de irrigação (0, 7, 14, 21 e 28 L planta-1 dia-1) nas parcelas e dois ciclos de produção nas subparcelas totalizando dez tratamentos e cento e vinte plantas. Na avaliação de características vegetativa e produtiva de bananeira Prata comum foram realizadas no florescimento e na colheita. Na emissão da florescência foi determinado o número de dias entre o plantio e o florescimento, na colheita foi medido a altura de planta (m) com uma régua altimétrica, circunferência de pseudocaule (cm) com fita graduada, número de folha e número de dias entre o plantio e a colheita e dias entre o florescimento e a colheita determinadas por contagem. Após essa etapa foi realizado a mensuração de massa do cacho (kg), da penca (kg) e da raquis (kg) com auxílio de balança eletrônica de mão, a produtividade (kg ha-1) obtida pelo produto da massa do cacho pelo número de planta por hectare e, número de penca e de fruto por contagem. Na avaliação o fator relacionado a irrigação houve efeito nas variáveis número de dias entre o plantio e a colheira, quanto ao ciclo produtivo, todas as variáveis foram significativas. Na interação de fatores somente o número de penca por fruto e por cacho foi significativo. A suplementação hídrica promove pouca contribuição nas características gerais de bananeira Prata comum em Rio Branco, Acre. A sucessão de safras em bananeira Prata comum é a principal responsável pelo aumento no desempenho das plantas.

As sementes são divididas em três grupos quanto à capacidade de armazenamento e dessecação: ortodoxas, intermediárias e recalcitrantes. O grau de tolerância à dessecação está relacionado com a capacidade que a semente tem de recuperar suas funções biológicas, quando são reidratadas, após passar por um processo de desidratação no meio natural ou não. O objetivo deste trabalho foi classificar as sementes de Copaifera langsdorffii quanto a tolerância à dessecação e ao armazenamento, em relação ao comportamento se a espécie produz sementes recalcitrantes, intermediárias ou ortodoxas. As sementes foram coletadas na Estação Ecológica Rio Ronuro (área de mata ciliar Cerrado, e área de mata ciliar transição Cerrado/Amazônia) no município de Nova Ubiratã -MT, e no município de Sinop –MT (área de mata ciliar Amazônia. Após determinar a germinação e o teor de água inicial, amostras de sementes foram colocados em recipiente fechado e vedado contendo sílica gel até atingirem teor de água aproximado de 7%. Em seguida, as amostras foram armazenadas por 90 dias em temperatura de -20ºC. Após o processo de dessecação e armazenamento foi realizado os testes de germinação, em germinador do tipo BOD na temperatura de 30°C com fotoperíodo de 12h, utilizando caixa gerbox e como substrato o ágar na concentração de 0,06 g/L. Os dados foram avaliados através da porcentagem final de germinação. Os resultados apontam que as sementes de Copaifera langsdorffii podem ser fisiologicamente classificadas como ortodoxas, sendo capaz de suportar a dessecação até aproximadamente 7% de teor de água, e o armazenamento por longos períodos em temperaturas negativas.
