Recepcja antycznej symboliki snu Hannibala na przykładzie dzieła malarskiego Jana Miela ‘Il Sonno di Annibale fra gl’Iberi’
Authors: Wolny Miron
Published: January 2021

Zamierzeniem autora przedłożonej pracy jest zbadanie recepcji antycznego motywu snu Hannibala, zobrazowanego przez Jana Miela w pracy malarskiej ‘Il Sonno di Annibale fra gl’Iberi’, umieszczonej w ‘Sala del Consiglio’ Turyńskiego Palazzo Reale. Wykorzystując przykład tej pracy plastycznej, autor przygląda się problemowi snów w świecie antycznym. Wskazując na ich profetyczne znaczenie, usiłuje powiązać atrakcyjność tego motywu z kulturowymi pryncypiami epoki nowożytnej. Zstąpienie boskiego posłańca, który komunikuje wolę boską budzącemu się Hannibalowi było ważnym elementem konceptualizacji dzieła malarskiego, mającego za zadanie przekazać konkretny komunikat odbiorcy. Celowi temu służyła podpowiedź w formie motta dzieła: ‘Genius quo ducit eundum’, mającego zakomunikować o działaniu woli boskiej. Autor artykułu zwraca uwagę, że istotną rolę w dystrybuowaniu wątku snu Hannibala musiał odegrać poemat Syliusza Italikusa, przedstawiający dojrzałą kompozycję motywów literatury antycznej. Autor zastanawia się również z jakiego powodu bohaterem pracy został Hannibal, dochodząc w efekcie do wniosku, że Kartagińczyk ujęty w barokowym dziele to pewien czytelny symbol – antagonista pogańskiego Rzymu, z chrześcijańskiej perspektywy, będącego substytutem zła. Pomimo, że Liwiusz określał Hannibala jako człowieka wiarołomnego, ten w istocie nigdy nie złamał danej swoim bogom przysięgi – nigdy bowiem nie stał się przyjacielem Rzymian. Tym samym Hannibal staje się symbolem braku przyzwolenia na akceptację zła. Jego determinacja wyrażona poprzez dzieło Jana Miela jawi się zatem jako czynnik inspirujący i potrzebny Europie.
Późnośredniowieczne krakowskie prognostyki astrologiczne o zdrowiu, chorobach i sposobach leczenia
Authors: Konarska-Zimnicka Sylwia Kamilla
Published: January 2021

Późnośredniowieczne prognostyki astrologiczne (iudicia, kalendarze, almanachy, etc.) to ciekawe źródło do poznania przeszłości. Zwyczaj ich publikowania związany był z rozwojem tzw. krakowskiej szkoły astronomiczno-astrologicznej. Mistrzowie krakowscy piastujący funkcję profesorów katedry astronomii i astrologii zobligowani byli do układania rokrocznie prognostyków, w których zamieszczali bazujące na mającym nastąpić układzie ciał niebieskich prognozy astrologiczne dotyczące niemalże każdej płaszczyzny życia ówczesnego społeczeństwa – prognozy odnoszono do handlu, gospodarki rolnej, urodzaju lub nieurodzaju; obejmowano nimi zagadnienia natury politycznej, ale też kwestie małżeństwa, posiadanego potomstwa i jego wychowania; obszerne ustępy poświęcano prognozowaniu pogody, a więc astrometeorologii. Jednakże szczególny nacisk kładziono na zagadnienia medyczne, albowiem kwestia zdrowia i choroby stanowiła kluczowe zagadnienie, które było istotne dla przedstawicieli wszystkich, bez wyjątku, stanów społecznych. Prognostyki astrologiczne natomiast, wskazując odpowiednią, z punktu widzenia astrologii, porę na podejmowanie starań o utrzymanie dobrej kondycji lub powrót do zdrowia, miały stanowić wykładnię wiedzy teoretycznej z zaleceniami dotyczącymi trudnej do zweryfikowania źródłowo praktyki.

Lyme disease or borreliosis is presumed one of the most significant vector-borne diseases globally. The disease is re-emerging in numerous parts of world. It has expanded dramatically in newer areas in recent decades. Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi yet additionally by other borrelial species, B. afzelii and B. garini which cause diverse clinical syndromes. Spatial distribution and clinical presentations differ depending on the causative species. Clinical manifestations of Lyme disease can be delineated in three stages. The first stage is presented in the form of erythema migrans at the site of tick bite. Early dispersed stage can lead to multiple lesions of erythema migrans, neuroborreliosis, lymphocytoma, arthritis or carditis. The manifestation at later stage shows acordermatitis chronica atrophicans, arthritis and neurological involvement. Diagnosis is challenging owing the several clinical presentations and could require multiple tests. The antibiotics that are currently under use, help in the clearance of bacteria from the affected host and stop further spread of the disease. Although several antibiotics are being used for Lyme disease, doxycycline is the widely used antimicrobial in early stage of the disease. Several attempts have been made to develop a vaccine against Lyme disease, however, none of them have been successfully marketed. The present review discusses clinical manifestations, and advances in diagnosis and control of Lyme disease.

This study was carried out to identify high-performing maize cultivars adapted to the environmental conditions of Southern Chad. Twelve new cultivars associated with two local cultivars often used by farmers in Southern Chad were evaluated in three different environments in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The analysis of variance showed significant differences (p<0.001) between cultivars for the measured traits except for plant height (p=0.157) and ear height (p=0.624). Genotype × environment interaction was also reported significant among cultivars only for days to flowering and number of kernels per row, but yield did not show any statistical difference, although assessed cultivars differed in their relative main performance across the three sites. Potential grain yield showed a negative correlation with days to flowering, ear height, and days to silking. The study revealed different yield performances for the assessed cultivars across different environments. The cultivar 2013 TZEE WPOP DT STR was the highest yield producing cultivars at the combined sites. The cultivars IWD C2 SYN, TZEE WPOP DT C5 STR C5, 2011 TZE YDT STR SYN, and DTE STR YSYN POP C4 showed high-performance cultivars across the different environments and can be therefore recommended for release as new cultivars to farmers of Southern Chad.

The current study was conducted from December 2018 to January 2019 to identify plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) associated with A. squamosa in Rizal Province, Philippines. A total of 10 soil and root samples were collected from the surveyed plants. Nematodes from the collected soil samples were extracted using the modified Baermann tray method while root nematodes were extracted using H2O2 incubation. Results of the study revealed the presence of Meloidogyne, Rotylenchulus, and Criconemoides PPNs genera from the roots and soil samples. The study revealed that the number of nematodes associated with A. squamosa is not enough to cause infestation and damage. Further, various environmental factors such as moisture and potassium content of the soil, temperature, and pH make the conditions unfavorable for the proliferation of plant-parasitic nematodes in the study area.

Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Grasping and Manipulation: A Review
Authors: Donepudi Praveen Kumar
Published: January 2021

A century of robots is the 21st century. The robots have long been able to cross the divide between the virtual universe and the real world. Robotics, as the most successful contender in the upcoming great technological revolution, will play an ever more important role in society because of the impact it has in every field of life, including medicine, healthcare, architecture, manufacturing and food supplies, logistics and transport. This document introduces a modern approach to the grasp of robots, which draws grasp techniques from the human demonstration and combines these strategies into a grasp-planning framework, in order to produce a viable insight into the objective geometry and manipulation tasks of the object. Our study findings show that grasping strategies of the form of grasp and thumbs positioning are not only necessary for human grasp but also significant restrictions on posture and wrist posture which greatly reduce both the robot hand's workplace and the search space for grasp planning. In the simulation and with a true robotic system this method has been extensively tested for several everyday living representative objects. In the experiment with varying degrees of perceiving in certainties, we have demonstrated the power of our method.
The Crossroads of Wellness and Second Victim Syndrome: Identifying Factors that Alter the Pathway of Caregiver Recovery Following an Unanticipated Adverse Patient Outcome
Authors:   George Washington University, Zarabian Kimia
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Second Victim Syndrome (SVS) describes the phenomenon in which a caregiver experiences a traumatic psychological and emotional response to an adverse patient event or medical error. Using quantitative survey analysis, we aim to better understand the personal factors that affect SVS development and recovery. Methods: Caregivers at a small urban academic medical center who had experienced an adverse patient event in the past six months were invited to take part in this institution-wide, voluntary, quantitative, cross-sectional study. Three surveys were administered; the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory (HRLSI) was used as a surrogate to measure stressful life events. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) was used as a measure of the stress a provider senses following a traumatic event. The Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) was used to assess the medical provider’s emotional response and level of institutional support in response to an adverse clinical event. Results: Analysis of SVEST vs. IES-R demonstrated that respondents with greater self-perception of personal distress reported increased psychological (p=0.0008) and physical (p=0.0015) distress. Respondents who reported higher HRLSI scores had a greater perception that non-work-related support (p=0.04) such as family support was inadequate; however, these respondents were less likely to perceive institutional support (p=0.04) as inadequate. The results indicate that caregivers with more perceived life stresses believe that they do not have strong non-work-related support services, which is a known protective factor; thus, they may perceive any institutional support as more adequate. Conclusion: This study suggests that personal life risk factors, institutional support, and non-work related support may play an important role in the development of SVS and the perception of stress and wellness in the setting of SVS.

Published: January 2021

The aim of this study is to analyze the disparity of social class and the causes and effects of social class among two main characters in Kevin Kwan’s “Crazy Rich Asians” novel (2013). To analyze the issue, Weber’s theory of social class (1998) were used. The research methodology used in this study was a qualitative method. By using this method, it means a qualitative approach is used to describe the social phenomenon, life experiences and situations to give the meanings and also to explore the behavior, perspectives, experiences, and feeling of people in the form of an essay. Based on the analysis, some aspects that relate to the disparity and causes and effects of social class. Those are the types of social class disparity reflected by these two characters, the cause of social class between the two main characters and the effect that caused by its disparity of social class. The result of this study showed that these disparities can be lifestyle, ways of thinking and in choosing a partner. Also, social class can be caused by heredity and family background, the effects are someone who has a social class that is considered low, will be ostracized, or even terrorized.Keyword : Qualitative Method, Social Class, Weber Theory.
Advancing inclusive growth in Nigeria: The role of financial inclusion in poverty, inequality, household expenditure, and unemployment
Authors: Sakanko Musa Abdullahi , David Joseph , Onimisi Aliyu Musari
Published: January 2021

This study employs ARDL bounds testing technique to examine the effect of financial inclusion on inclusive growth in Nigeria, using quarterly data from 2007-2018. The empirical evidence reveals the presence of cointegration between financial inclusion indicators (account ownership, access to bank, ATM and credit, loans to SMEs and internet usage) and inclusive growth (poverty, household expenditure, employment, and per capita income). The results demonstrate that, while increase in account ownership, and access to bank and ATM raise poverty, and access to credit, loans to SMEs and internet usage reduces employment and per capita income in the long-run, it was also discovered that access to credit reduce poverty and increase household consumption, while account ownership and access to bank increases employment and per capita income in the long-run. In the short-run: lag of account ownership, access to ATM and credit, loan to SMEs and internet usage reduces poverty; lag of household expenditure, account ownership, and access to ATM and lag of internet usage increases household expenditure; lags of access to ATM and lags of internet usage (and account ownership and access to bank) increases employment opportunities (and per capita income); and access to ATM and credit reduces employment and per capita income respectively.

Authors: Ghorbel Koubaa Fatma , Chaâbane Mariem , Choura Bochra , Turki Mouna , Makni-Ayadi Fatma , El Feki Abdelfattah
Published: January 2021

Background: Globally, permethrin is used as an insecticide for pest control in indoor environments and in agriculture to enhance food production by eradicating undesirable insects and controlling disease vectors. 
Objective: The present study investigated the protective effects of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) on permethrin-induced liver injury in mice. 
Methods: Adult mice were divided into four groups. The first group was the negative control group, whereas the second group was the positive control group that received dandelion through the diet at 2% (corresponding to a dose of 5 g/kg bw). The third group received permethrin (96 mg/kg bw) by gavage, whereas the fourth group received permethrin and a diet enriched with dandelion (cotreatment). All mice were sacrificed after 14 days of treatment.
Results: Biomarkers of liver toxicity (AST, ALT, ALP, and LDH activities and bilirubin level) increased following permethrin treatment. Permethrin induced oxidative stress, which was indicated by an increase in MDA and GSH levels as well as GPx activity and a decrease in SOD activity. Permethrin treatment caused histological alterations in the liver, whereas co-treatment with dandelion reduced liver injury. Our results revealed that alterations of biochemical parameters and liver histological profile in mice following permethrin exposure were reversed towards normalization by the treatment with dandelion roots extract. 
Conclusion: The protective effect of this plant might be due to its antioxidant capacity.
European identity and multilingualism
Authors: Velički Damir , Aladrović Slovaček Katarina
Published: January 2021

n the official documents that regulate certain segments of education in Croatia, the terms Europe and European (identity) appear. In this paper the authors analyse the concept of European identity and reach the conclusion that it has not been unambiguously defined. The term European identity is closely connected within the European Union with multilingualism. Through a policy of multilingualism, the European Union strives to preserve language diversity in Europe. The authors of this paper start from the question of whether foreign language learning increases the feeling of being connected to Europe and present the results of a study that was conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb in 2018/19.

Published: January 2021

Cognitive features of auditory hallucinations (voices) have important clinical significance and their assessment is vital for cognitive behavior therapy to be more widely deployed by multidisciplinary staff. Using a new Socratic instrument—The Staff Views About Assessing Voices Questionnaire (SVAVQ)—we surveyed a community inpatient rehabilitation multidisciplinary workforce's (N= 50) assessment and attitude toward asking cognitive questions about patients' voices. We found that there were many clinically important gaps in what staff asked about in relation to cognitive features of voices. We identified a range of beliefs the staff hold that may prevent assessment of voice cognitive features. However, after attending the Socratic SVAVQ interview, 84% of staff said they planned to ask patients more questions about cognitive features of patients' voices. Research could now test if other psychosis services neglect the assessment of important cognitive features of patients' voices and if staff Socratic questioning improves their cognitive assessments.
Representações Femininas em Game of Thrones: Mediações entre os Sete Reinos e a Contemporaneidade
Authors: Corneli Ortis Andréa , Ferreira Lisbôa Filho Flavi
Published: January 2021

A presente pesquisa questiona como são representadas as identidades femininas da personagem Sansa Stark, de Game of Thrones, e quais sentidos sobre o feminino contemporâneo são mobilizados pela série. Para isso, buscamos observar nosso objeto através da categoria personagem e interações por meio da análise textual proposta por Casetti e Chio (1999). Após isso, acionamos o conceito de mediação, advindo de um cotejamento entre Williams (1979), Orózco-Gómez (1997) e Martín-Barbero (2001), por meio das categorias gênero, competência e moralidade pública, e percebemos que a série busca problematizar tipos de violência que acontecem na contemporaneidade em relação ao feminino, como sexual, psicológica ou física, casamento infantil e mulher como moeda de troca. Assim, ao longo das temporadas, a personagem é retratada de modo a ascender, porém somente após passar por inúmeros tipos de violência. Portanto, os sentidos negociados entre a ficção e a realidade presentes em Sansa, na série, são formadas de acordo com o ambiente em que vive, valores sociais e privados impostos pela sociedade.

Convergências entre a teoria da troca social e a mediação da informação e do conhecimento na perspectiva dos desenvolvedores de software
Authors: Souza Leonardo Pereira Pinheiro de , Santos Neto João Arlindo dos , Moraes Cássia Regina Bassan de
Published: January 2021

Informação e conhecimento são imprescindíveis à sobrevivência das empresas e no cotidiano das pessoas. Ademais, o software é elemento fundamental para gerir essas informações. Os profissionais de programação fazem uso de informação e conhecimento organizacional para desenvolverem seus projetos e trabalharem em equipe. Informação e conhecimento representam poder, e seu compartilhamento inclui barganhas, comportamentos estudados pela Teoria da Troca Social. Compartilhar informação efetivamente envolve mais do que repassá-la, envolve uma interferência visando que o receptor faça sua apropriação, para a execução do trabalho, por meio de sujeitos mediadores da informação. Objetiva-se verificar como se dá o compartilhamento de informação e conhecimento entre profissionais de software, inferindo como princípios da Teoria da Troca Social interferem ou em sua mediação, destacando a influência de motivadores egocêntricos e altruístas, ou voltados à coletividade. Como procedimentos metodológicos, efetuou-se um estudo de caso, de natureza descritiva, com profissionais de software discentes de uma instituição pública de ensino superior, de Garça, São Paulo, bem como seus funcionários administrativos, utilizando questionários, entrevistas e análise do site da instituição. Como resultados, verificou-se existirem evidências de mediação da informação e conhecimento entre os pesquisados, sendo que motivações altruístas e egocêntricas se conciliam dialeticamente nessa /mediação/compartilhamento. Atribui-se os resultados possivelmente a valores internalizados na formação universitária e a um ambiente de trabalho psicologicamente positivo. Conclui-se que existem convergências entre a Teoria da Troca Social e a mediação da informação, tanto no aspecto teórico quanto prático, evidenciando a possiblidade da mediação além dos equipamentos informacionais tradicionais: bibliotecas, arquivos e museus.
Capitalismo, subdesarrollo y dependencia
Authors: Dos Santos Theotonio
Published: January 2021

Este texto retoma la teoría de la dependencia con el fin de analizar las relaciones entre subdesarrollo y desarrollo desde América Latina hacia el sistema mundial. Cuestiona el concepto de desarrollo como algo universal y derivado únicamente de la expansión capitalista que no toma en cuenta las especificidades históricas y sociales de los distintos países. Plantea que se deben delimitar las diferentes relaciones de dependencia para ver las condiciones de posible desarrollo en los países latinoamericanos, y, finalmente, analiza las estructuras de la dependencia en el momento en que se escribió el texto (la década de los setenta).
Theotonio Dos Santos (1936-2018): intelectual revolucionario y pionero de la teoría de la dependencia
Authors: Kay Cristóbal
Published: January 2021

Este artículo analiza los orígenes y el desarrollo de la teoría de la dependencia a través de la vida y la obra de Theotonio Dos Santos, los cuales se indagan en sus años de formación en la academia y su temprano activismo político en Brasil, en particular, su paso por la Universidad de Brasilia junto a Vania Bambirra, Ruy Mauro Marini y André Gunder Frank (“el cuarteto”). A esto le sigue una discusión sobre sus años de exilio en Chile, donde el cuarteto se reagrupó en el Centro de Estudios Socio-Económicos (CESO) de la Universidad de Chile, y donde escribió sus textos fundacionales sobre la teoría de la dependencia. Chile proporcionó un terreno fér­til para el desarrollo de esta teoría por su clima intelectual, institucionalidad y las transformaciones políticas del país a fines de la década de los sesenta y comienzos de la de los setenta. El derrocamiento militar del gobierno de Allende, ese fatídico 11 de septiembre de 1973, obligó al cuarteto una vez más al exilio. El artículo continúa con un análisis de los escritos de Dos Santos durante su exilio en México y luego de regreso en Brasil. Durante este periodo se involucró con la teoría del sistema mundial, que culminó con la publicación de su extensa trilogía sobre la crisis contemporánea del capitalismo y la teoría social.

Hay una serie de índices que mide la evolución de algunas de sus dimensiones, pero hay aún una ausencia de indicadores que comprendan datos abiertos, transparencia, participación y colaboración simultáneamente. En este artículo proponemos el Índice de Gobierno Abierto y Participación (IGAP) a partir de trabajos académicos previos, el cual permite realizar comparaciones espaciales y temporales. El índice se construye para una muestra de 33 países miembros de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) por medio de fuentes abiertas y consistentes que ponderan los distintos componentes del gobierno abierto. Los resultados arrojan que las áreas de transparencia y datos abiertos tienen un amplio margen de mejora y que las estrategias de participación requieren un abordaje autónomo. Por regiones, el gobierno abierto está más desarrollado en los países de la Commonwealth, mientras que los de Europa Oriental presentan los niveles más bajos.
Financiarización subordinada y emisión de títulos de deuda en América Latina: las experiencias de Argentina, México y Brasil
Authors: Villavicencio Giovanni
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo analiza la titulación de la deuda en los países subdesarrollados, en específico, en Argentina, México y Brasil. Sostenemos que los tres países han tenido un incremento significativo en la emisión de títulos de deuda; sin embargo, la naturaleza de los valores emitidos es diferente en cada nación. En el caso de Argentina, el aumento de los valores de deuda internacionales en circulación tiene que ver con la emisión de títulos gubernamentales. En México, el incremento está más relacionado con las nuevas necesidades de financiamiento de las corporaciones no financieras mexicanas. Mientras tanto, en Brasil el incremento en la emisión de los títulos de deuda se debe a una combinación de ambos factores.
Evolución y análisis de la discriminación salarial por género en Chile
Authors: Salce Díaz Felipe
Published: January 2021

La discriminación en el mercado laboral es un tema importante en la mayoría de los países del mundo. En tal contexto, este trabajo usa datos representativos a nivel nacional de la Encuesta de Caracterización Socioeconómica Nacional en el periodo de 1990 a 2017, con el fin de explorar la brecha y la discriminación salarial por género en Chile. Se aplican distintas versiones de la conocida descomposición de Blinder y Oaxaca para medir la brecha salarial y descomponer sus posibles causas y las variables involucradas. Finalmente, se corrigen las estimaciones de salarios por sesgo de selección y se estudia la descomposición por cuantiles de ingreso. Los resultados de las distintas metodologías muestran una disminución en la discrimi­nación salarial cuando observamos el periodo completo (1990-2017), la cual ocurrió principalmente entre 1990 y 2003, y tras ella la discriminación se ha mantenido relativamente constante hasta 2017. La discriminación salarial llegó a ser de 49.7% en 2017, cuando 45.2% correspondió al subpago de las mujeres y 4.5% al sobrepago a los hombres, estructura que se mantiene en todo el periodo estudiado. Por otro lado, se muestra que calcular la discriminación salarial sin corregir por sesgo de selección subestima dicha discriminación que sufren las mujeres en Chile. Finalmente, se observa que gran parte de ésta se da principalmente en los extremos de menores y mayores ingresos de la distribución. Este trabajo también agrega evidencia al hecho de que las mujeres activas en el mercado laboral tienen más años de educación respecto de los hombres, pero, por motivos que la teoría clásica no puede explicar, obtienen un salario menor.
Artifical Intelligence as Disruption Factor in the Civil Law: Impact of the use of Artifical Intelligence in Liability, Contracting, Competition Law and Consumer Protection with Particular Reference to the German and Indonesian Legal Situation
Authors: Koos Stefan
Published: January 2021

The Article describes the impact of artificial intelligence in different areas of the civil law, namely tort law, contract law, antitrust law and consumer protection law. It shows that the use of artificial intelligence already leads to legal constellations, which cannot longer easily subsumized under elementary terms of the civil law and therefore cause a real disruption in the civil law. Terms, which are based on a freedom concept of the subjective rights of the actors, such as private autonomy and contractual will not fit anymore to the activity of artificial intelligence systems the more those systems are able to act independant of human actors. Similar applies to terms which are referring to the freedom of decision like the market behaviour in the competition law. The article discusses several solution approaches, such as personification approches, agent-principal approaches and the definition of new categories of market and contractual acting. In the consumer protection the special focus in the future legal development will be on the problem how to achieve adequate, though not overflowing, transparency for consumers, especially regarding the combination of big data and algorithms.
Who is Responsible for Embodied CO2?
Authors: Sanderson Hans
Published: January 2021

With the Paris Agreement countries are obliged to report greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions which will ensure that the global temperature increase is maintained well below 2C. The Parties will report their Nationally Determined Contributions in terms of plans and progress towards these targets during the postponed COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021. These commitments however do not take significant portions of the consumption related emissions related to countries imports in to account. Similarly, the majority of companies that report their emissions to CDP also do not account for their embodied value-chain related emissions. Municipalities on the path towards carbon neutrality in accordance with the methods outlined by C40 also do not include imported and embodied CO2 in their total emission tallies. So, who is responsible for these emissions - the producer or the consumer? How can we ensure that the NDC's, municipalities and companies reduction targets share the responsibility of the emissions in the value-chain, so that the targets and plans become, sustainable, climate fair, and just in global value chains?

With the arrival of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, a new stage of the pandemic commenced, with new challenges ahead. During the coming months, countries will be implementing their COVID-19 vaccination programs depending on their implementation of vaccine availability and its prescription on risk stratification. Although children will not benefit from active immunization programs, now, with the beginning of the era of the anti-COVID19 vaccines, the suffering of children can no longer be ethically tolerated or neglected. The time has come to provide specific lasting strategies for children living in the COVID-19 era. Here we propose a child-focused indirect COVID-19 vaccination strategy.For better or worse, children depend on their natural caregivers (adults) and the rest of society for their well-being and achieving their full potential. We believe that including in the priority categories also those adults in close contact with children could ensure a safety net of child protection.A child-focused vaccination strategy would allow the faster return to "normality" for children and their families. Such an approach would not only enable the reopening and continuity of essential services for children but also would allow adults to return to their routine economic/productive activities.

This study employed 15 CMIP6 GCMs and evaluated their ability to simulate rainfall over Uganda during 1981-2019. The models and the ensemble mean were assessed based on the ability to reproduce the annual climatologyseasonal rainfall distribution, trend, and statistical metrics, including mean bias error, root mean square error, and pattern correlation coefficient. The Taylor diagram and Taylor skill score (TSS) were used in ranking the models. The models performance varies greatly from one season to the other. The models reproduced the observed bimodal rainfall pattern of March to May (MAM) and September to November (SON) rains occurring over the region. Some models slightly overestimated, while some slightly underestimated, the MAM rainfall. However, there was a high rainfall overestimation during SON by most models. The models showed a positive spatial correlation with observed dataset, whereas a low correlation was shown interannually. Some models could not capture the rainfall patterns around local-scale features, for example, around the Lake Victoria basin and mountainous areas. The best performing models identified in the study include GFDL-ESM4, BCC-CMC-MR, IPSL-CM6A-LR, CanESM5, GDFL-CM4-gr1, and GFDL-CM4-gr2. The models CNRM-CM6-1 and CNRM-ESM2 underestimated rainfall throughout the annual cycle and mean climatology. However, these two models better reproduced the spatial trends of rainfall during both MAM and SON. The model spread in CMIP6 over the study area calls for further investigation on the attributions and possible implementation of robust approaches of Machine learning to minimize the biases.

Published: January 2021

The purpose of this article is to analyze, in a three-stage research, the relationships between environmental expenses, the improvements achieved in 5 environmental variables analyzed and efficiency, from an economic and operational perspective. The stages of this research are analyzing the sustainability reports to determine the level of information, analyzing the economic and operational efficiency, and analyzing the alignment with the environmental priorities of the Eco Ports-ESPO (European Sea Ports Organization). The results reveal that (1) the type of traffic does not condition environmental actions; (2) environmental performance (improvements) depends on environmental expenditures; (3) environmental spending and efficiency in port operations are correlated; and (4) environmental spending and port economic efficiency are correlated.

Published: January 2021

The American leafhopper Erasmoneura vulnerata, detected in Europe in early 2000s, has recently become a pest in North-Italian vineyards. Issues were recorded in organic and conventional vine-yards despite the application of insecticides devoted to the control of other pests. Erasmoneura vulnerata completes three generations, and the second generation is frequently associated to large populations. The selection of appropriate active ingredients and the timing of their application is crucial for effective pest control. Field trials were carried out in North-eastern Italy, using a randomized design, to evaluate the impact of insecticides applied against other grapevine leafhoppers on E. vulnerata populations. The beginning of the second generation was selected as best timing for insecticide application. For a number of natural products, two applications were planned. Among the selected insecticides, the most effective were acetamiprid, flupyradifurone and lamb-da-cyhalothrin. Regarding natural products, the most effective was kaolin that could represent an alternative to pyrethrins in organic vineyards. The identification of pest threshold levels and the evaluation of side effects of the most effective insecticides on key natural enemies occurring in vineyards are required
