A Rede de Apoio Mulheres Marajoaras em Movimento: processos de enfrentamento à Covid-19 por mulheres do arquipélago do Marajó (PA)
Authors: Gonçalves Letícia Cardoso , Conrado Mônica Prates
Published: April 2023

O artigo objetiva apresentar a Rede de Apoio Mulheres Marajoaras em Movimento e seu protagonismo na luta antirracista na região amazônica do Brasil em um contexto de pandemia da Covid-19. As desigualdades sociais e violências raciais obtiveram um agravante no contexto da pandemia causada pelo vírus Sars-Cov-2, especialmente entre mulheres negras, amarelas e indígenas de baixa renda. Diante disso, as populações mais vulneráveis do Brasil organizaram estratégias de resistência com intuito de impedir o avanço da Covid-19 entre seus grupos. A Rede de Apoio Mulheres Marajoaras em Movimento, criada com intuito de oferecer auxílio financeiro e psicológico a mulheres habitantes do Arquipélago do Marajó, estabeleceu maneiras próprias de Amefricanidade reafirmando Territórios negros e identidades afrodiaspóricas em ciberespaço para a valorização da vida e cultura afro-brasileira na região Amazônica.
Do Quariterê ao América: protagonismo de mulheres pretas na luta por direitos fundamentais
Authors: Lopes Adiele Nataly Alves , Silva Dyandra Jamylle Rosário da
Published: April 2023

O presente estudo é resultado de uma experiência do trabalho da equipe psicossocial do Projeto Mangues da Amazônia. Objetivou-se realizar um espaço de diálogos com as mulheres do Quilombo do América, localizado no município de Bragança, Pará, que possibilitasse as discussões sobre questões étnico-raciais e equidade de gênero, através da metodologia de roda de conversa. Os resultados obtidos a partir dos diálogos foram: violência e violações nas condições de trabalho, a notoriedade do racismo, assim como as múltiplas faces desse fenômeno. São notórias as heranças do imaginário escravocrata ainda no Brasil. E, na Amazônia bragantina, não seria diferente. As mulheres do Quilombo do América exercem funções de lideranças no âmbito da comunidade, e, ao mesmo tempo, lutam cotidianamente contra o racismo e sexismo estrutural.
Violência Contra Mulheres em Porto Velho/RO: pesquisa documental em serviço psicossocial
Authors: Andrade Bruno Henrique Lins , Tamboril Maria Ivonete Barbosa
Published: April 2023

Desde 2006, o Brasil procura intervir em atos de violência contra mulheres e oferecer atendimento multidisciplinar às pessoas envolvidas. Esta pesquisa descreve características do público atendido em um serviço psicossocial em Porto Velho, Rondônia. Por pesquisa documental, foram analisadas 469 fichas de atendimentos do período de 2011 a março de 2015. Os resultados apontam baixa escolaridade e envolvimento com drogas por parte dos homens, alta incidência de violência psicológica, e baixa renda e permanência da união no tocante aos casais. A baixa reincidência dos casos no local corrobora que atividades em grupo são importantes para prevenir a repetição da violência. Discute-se a relevância de uma leitura de gênero que considere as condições históricas da região e a perpetuação de suas consequências para as relações entre homens e mulheres.
Feminismos Decoloniais e “América Latina”: comentários sobre as mobilizações do conceito
Authors: Cavalcanti Maria Clara Martins
Published: April 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo principal pensar historicamente os feminismos decoloniais latinoamericanos, especialmente quanto às mobilizações (e desmobilizações) do conceito de “América Latina” em suas epistemologias. Entendendo, assim, “América Latina” como nome e ideia que denotam uma construção permeada por disputas, atravessada pelas experiências da colonização e da colonialidade. Nesse sentido, espera-se aqui refletir sobre as implicações históricas e políticas das mobilizações sobre o conceito, empreendidas pelos feminismos decoloniais, especialmente quando articulam as questões de gênero, raça, classe e nacionalidade para pensar a colonialidade na latino-américa.
Amor, Casamento e Fidelidade na Cultura Brasileira
Authors: Goldenberg Mirian
Published: April 2023

Neste texto, são analisados, comparativamente, os diferentes discursos de homens e mulheres a respeito do amor, do casamento e da fidelidade. Para isso, foram extraídos dados de pesquisa realizada com 1279 homens e mulheres, dos 20 aos 60 anos, moradores da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, por meio de questionários e entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados desse estudo evidenciaram que: a fidelidade permanece como o principal valor para os pesquisados, apesar das significativas mudanças que eles apontam nas relações amorosas na atualidade; homens e mulheres traem e são traídos: a relação entre discursos, comportamentos e valores se mostra complexa e paradoxal quando a questão é a (in)fidelidade.

O Emprego Doméstico e as Relações de Gênero no Mundo do Trabalho
Authors: Maneschy Maria Cristina
Published: April 2023

Com base nas análises sobre as atuais configurações da divisão sexual do trabalho, de Helena Hirata e Danièle Kergoat(2007), discutem-se os significados do emprego doméstico feminino na sociedade brasileira, enquanto, ao mesmo tempo, cresce o número de trabalhadores domésticos em países desenvolvidos. Argumenta-se que esse aumento deve-se à continuidade da ordem social de gênero, conforme conceitua Nancy Fraser. (1997). Trata-se das formas pelas quais, no capitalismo, cuidados e trabalhos são organizados - e separados - assim como se definem as categorias de pessoas que se ocupam de uns e outros e as políticas sociais.

Do Receio de Existir ao Direito de Conviver: reflexões e apontamentos sobre homossexualidade masculina, geração e transformações sociais
Authors: Saggese Gustavo Santa Roza
Published: April 2023

A proposta deste trabalho consiste em investigar a maneira pela qual homens de meia-idade, residentes em São Paulo, vivenciam e percebem a própria homossexualidade frente às transformações sociais ocorridas nas três últimas décadas. Neste sentido, são avaliados vários marcos como o advento da epidemia de HIV/AIDS e os pânicos morais que a doença suscitou; o surgimento das primeiras Paradas do Orgulho LGBT no Brasil; os recentes debates públicos envolvendo a legalização das uniões homoafetivas e a criminalização da homofobia. Ao mesmo tempo, problematiza o marcador “geração” e procura entender as diferenças que estes homens apontam existirem entre eles e os “mais jovens”.

Mitos: pilares que sustentam o patriarcado na perspectiva de Simone de Beauvoir
Authors: Pinheiro Ivonete , Álvares Maria Luzia Miranda
Published: April 2023

Este estudo alinha-se ao exposto por Simone de Beauvoir em O Segundo Sexo, tendo como principal objetivo identificar os mitos que estruturam e fomentam as bases do patriarcado, até os dias atuais, colaborando para construir a representação da mulher como sujeito social secundário nos vários âmbitos da sociedade. A autora identifica os motivos pelos quais os homens julgaram útil estabelecer seus códigos e suas leis sobre este gênero, mantendo-o sob a sua dependência. Evidencia-se ainda o modo como os mitos justificam as desigualdades entre os sexos e se fundamentam para manter o modelo patriarcal dinâmico, utilizando o imaginário social para se afirmar como categoria dominante, considerando a resistência temporal dos mitos, que sofrem lentas modificações. Através deles e de forma sutil, os homens estabeleceram suas leis e costumes, criando imagens que se incorporam ao imaginário social. Este trabalho consiste em uma análise dos dois volumes da obra O Segundo Sexo, trazendo à tona a sua relevância para os estudos de gênero. Após a publicação da obra, o feminismo garantiu várias conquistas, e muito do que Beauvoir escreveu permanece atual.
“Sou Livre”: narrativas e representações de mulheres em Belém do Pará (século XIX)
Authors: Lacerda Franciane Gama
Published: April 2023

O artigo discute a construção de algumas narrativas e representações acerca de mulheres que viveram em Belém (PA) no século XIX, e que por motivos diversos tiveram registradas as suas experiências cotidianas em textos escritos. Tais registros revelam significados dados a temas diversos como beleza, fidelidade, casamento, família, liberdade. A investigação em torno dessas fontes permitiu entender que, se de um lado esses textos, escritos por homens, revelam um olhar masculino acerca das práticas femininas, de outro, estes mesmos registros também permitem entender muito do que essas mulheres pensavam de si mesmas e os sentidos que deram às suas vidas.
“Todo Dia Ela Diz pra Eu Não Me Afastar”: relacionamentos em dinâmicas de deslocamento
Authors: Alencar Audrei Vieira
Published: April 2023

Este artigo objetiva compreender as dinâmicas dos casamentos em contextos de deslocamento de um dos membros do casal, pela necessidade de estudar em outro município fora daquele em que reside. Como se desenrola o casamento quando um dos membros precisa passar vários períodos fora do local onde moram? De que forma tais deslocamentos interferem nas relações? Como as concepções e identidades de gênero atuam nesses contextos? Utilizou-se a metodologia de observação e entrevistas semiestruturadas entre os interlocutores circulando no nordeste paraense, Baixo Tocantins e norte e sul do Pará. Conclusões preliminares demonstram dinâmicas de deslocamento com significativo sofrimento para a maioria dos entrevistados. Ciúme, cobranças, brigas e mal-estar são julgamentos expressos tanto pelo outro cônjuge, como entre amigos, parentes, vizinhos, com maior frequência entre as mulheres. Outras evidências: a liberdade experimentada pelos entrevistados como residentes temporários em outras cidades, supondo-se incluir relacionamentos afetivos extraconjugais e, também, o alívio das pressões dos serviços domésticos, no caso das mulheres.
Atendimento Humanizado às Mulheres em Situação de Violência: a percepção das mulheres atendidas na DEAM/Parintins, Amazonas
Authors: Tavares Gisely Pereira , Rodrigues Michele Barbosa , Barroso Milena Fernandes , Vieira Nayara Moura Silva , Sousa Vanessa Rodrigues de
Published: April 2023

Este artigo analisa o atendimento da Delegacia Especializada de Parintins às mulheres em situação de violência, a partir da percepção dessas mulheres sobre os serviços desse órgão. Os dados foram obtidos através de pesquisa de campo, em janeiro de 2014, aplicando-se um roteiro semiestruturado de entrevistas em dois profissionais da delegacia – a assistente social e o escrivão; e em cinco mulheres atendidas pela instituição. A versão das mulheres evidenciou a fragilidade da estrutura física da delegacia e do atendimento a elas, pela ausência de uma equipe multidisciplinar. A observação da situação apontou registros de descaso por atendentes da DEAM, tornando-se obstáculo à continuidade dos processos. Entre os elementos contributivos destacamse ainda: a falta de espaço adequado ao atendimento e a insuficiência de conhecimento da equipe sobre as questões de gênero e violência contra a mulher. Como “porta de entrada” das denúncias torna-se evidente a carência, na Delegacia, de um atendimento humanizado às mulheres, assegurando-lhes os seus direitos.

Authors: Lomakin I.V. , Yukhnevich S.S. , Ryazantsev A.Yu. , Shirokozhukhova A.A.
Published: April 2023

The paper considers design and use of parts and assemblies of a liquid propellant rocket engine — a combustion chamber, nozzle head, nozzles. Traditional and advanced technologies for making holes of small diameter in the details of these engines are analyzed. The features of the process of drilling small holes are indicated. The advantages and disadvantages of mechanical processing of component parts and assemblies of a liquid propellant rocket engine, as well as promising methods of electron beam and laser processing are given. It has been found that it is most expedient to obtain small diameter holes in such parts by combining electroerosive and electrochemical methods. The advantages and disadvantages of the combined processing method are described. It is noted that the presented technological processes, already implemented in aerospace production, increase the productivity and accuracy of holes, as well as reduce material and labor costs for the manufacture of special equipment products.

Pojęcia "zaniechania działania” w świetle koncepcji logicznej teorii działania
Authors: Lewandowska Maria
Published: April 2023

The way in which the term "activity" is understood determines foundations for the logical theory of activity. Activity understood as performance of changes or forbearance of performing a change is an object of G. H. von Wright's logic of actions based on the logic of changes. Generalization of such treatment of activity is T. Kubiński's concept according to which it consists in adopting a specific attitude towards a change; an object of nth logic of actions is description of n attitudes to changes. The distinction made between two main attitudes, out of which one expresses itself in activity and the other in its forbearance makes it necessary to specify more exactly the concept of forbearance. Analysis of this concept brings out strongly its ambiguity, it emphasizes the difference between non-activity and forbearance. Defining forbearance as non-activity in the situation, in which a possibility of activity did exist involves application of one of the modal concepts. The concepts in which forbearance is not taken into account constitute an argument justifying an assertion that forbearance cannot be expressed by the negation function. Attempts at formalization of intuitions connected with the term "forbearance of activity" show how deeply entangled it is in modal contexts, and even in deontic concepts if it is interpreted as "forbearance of activity".
Perelman a tradycja racjonalizmu
Authors: Kleszcz Ryszard
Published: April 2023

The philosophical thought of Perelman is characterized with criticism of all philosophies seeking the first, unshakable and absolute principles. Such philosophies are trying to attain their aim among others through referring to obviousness. The trends of this kind are characteristic for classical rationalism (e.g. Cartesian philosophy). R. Descartes thinks that cognizance worthy of being called "knowledge" should be such cognizance, which is characterized with perfection and homogeneousness. Perelman rejects existence of absolute criteria and emphasizes that a cognizing mind is shaped by the intellectual tradition and education. Philosophical cognizance is able to improve and change itself continually when it is supported by certain reasons. The Belgian philosopher's thought resembles, in many respects, the concepts of the so-called new rationalism (F. Gonseth, G. Bachelard, J. Piaget). Simultaneously, however, Perelman stresses the fact of irreducibility of philosophy to science as philosophical problems are characterized with constant contestability, controversial character, and openness to new solutions. Generally speaking, the philosophical thought in question may be called "antiabsolutist" and "pluralistic".
Spór o determinizm w mikrofizyce a operacjonizm
Authors: Horbaczewski Zbysław
Published: April 2023

The article presents the stance taken by the creator of operationism P. W. Bridgman in a dispute about a possibility of interpreting deterministically the results of quantum mechanics. A natural consequence of a gnoseological view created by Bridgman and called operationism is recognition that the indeterministic Copenhagen interpretation of the results of quantum mechanics, called "orthodox" by Bridgman, is the only possible interpretation at the present state of physics. Only new empirical facts, if they are discovered, may - according to Bridgman - pave the way for deterministic description of phenomena occurring in the microworld. This thesis of Bridgman is questioned by the author who tends to share a view that it is rather the appearance of a new theoretical concept that may allow for a new deterministic interpretation of empirical facts known for a long time.
Problem wiecznego powrotu w filozofii Fryderyka Nietzschego
Authors: Pieniążek Paweł
Published: April 2023

Die ewige Wiederkehr gehört zu den meist unklaren Fragen in der Philosophie
von Friedrich Nietzsche. Die Idee der ewigen Wiederkunft wird von mir
als ein integraler Teil seiner Philosophie angesehen, da meines Erachtens ist
das die grundsätzliche Kategorie, die das Ganze jener Philosophie begreifen
laßt. Am Beispiel konkreter Interpretationen werden dann genannt und kritisch
betrachtet drei Interpretationsweisen der Idee der ewigen Wiederkehr, die
sich in der Geschichte der Rezeption der Philosophie Nietzsches finden lassen:
die ewige Wiederkehr im stoischen Sinne als Wiederkehr der "identischen Fälle
, die ewige Wiederkunft im ethischen Sinne als Postulat der Wirkung und
die ewige Wiederkunft im dionysischen Sinne - als Prinzip und Charakteristik
des Werdens. Ich spreche für die "dionysische" Interpretation aus, da sie
mit den Voraussetzungen und mit der ursprünglichen Fassung der Philosophie von
F. Nietzsche am meisten übereinstimmt.
A Note on Mr. Margolis and the Definition of Dance
Authors: van Camp Julie
Published: April 2023

I demur to Margolis’ insistence that we form a generalized concept of art before the formation of a definition of specific art forms. I consider the elements proposed for a definition of “dance” by Margolis, including “dance notation, dance style, and dance as the expression of a contingent culture.” I note the problems with the third element, especially the blind spot shared by many of us to anything other than Western culture.

Insights into Current Education of Acupuncture as a Non-conventional Therapy in Portugal
Authors: Ye Xiao , Lopes Lara , Teixeira Ricardo , Wang Ying , Machado Jorge Pereira
Published: April 2023

Currently, some non-conventional therapies (NCT), such as acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy, naturopathy, herbology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine are structured and well-regulated for a market of teaching and clinical practice in Portugal, among which acupuncture has become one of the most appealing and functional branches. Through investigation of acupuncture laws, field surveys, teaching work and interviews with people from NCT field in Portugal, we showed the current acupuncture education in Portugal and found that according to the academic norms and rules of education in Portugal, there is a gradual difficulty in the progression and maintenance of the degree training dynamics, due to the lack of more tolerant transitional measures and also, a timid commitment on the part of the institutions that embark on these complementary programs. Therefore, it will be necessary to promote additional programs and measures that avoid a total emptiness of the teaching of acupuncture and at the same time losses of clinicians, competencies and quality of information that are difficult to recover. It could be very meaningful and thought-provoking to the future development and improvement of acupuncture in Portugal and in other countries that welcome acupuncture and intend to have a better legislation and application.
Neural Network Technology for Cryptographic Protection of Data Transmission at UAV
Authors: Tsmots Ivan , Teslyuk Vasyl , Łukaszewicz Andrzej , Lukashchuk Yurii , Kazymyra Iryna , Holovatyy Andriy , Opotyak Yurii
Published: April 2023

The neural network technology for real-time cryptographic data protection with symmetric keys (masking codes, neural network architecture and weights matrix) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) onboard communication systems has been developed. It provides hardware and software implementation with high technical and operational characteristics. The development of neural network technology for real-time cryptographic data protection was performed using an integrated approach based on theoretical foundations of neural network cryptographic data protection, new algorithms and structures of neural network data encryption and decryption, modern element base with the possibility of programming for the structure, and computer-aided design of hardware and software tools. The development and implementation of the on-board system of neural network cryptographic data protection in real-time are based on the following principles: variable composition of equipment; modularity; conveyorization and spatial parallelism; specialization and adaptation of hardware and software to data encryption and decryption. The tabular-algorithmic method of calculating the scalar product has been improved, it provides fast calculation of the scalar product of input data for both fixed and floating-point by bringing to the largest common order of weights and forming tables of macro-partial products for them. Components of neural network cryptographic data encryption and decryption have been developed on the processor core supplemented by specialized scalar product calculation modules. The specialized hardware for neural network cryptographic data encryption was developed using VHDL for equipment programming in the Quartus II development environment ver. 13.1 and the appropriate libraries, and implemented on the basis of the FPGA EP3C16F484C6 Cyclone III family.
The Purpose of Adrenarche Is Tumor Suppression: Identification of a Novel, Human-Specific, Kill-Switch Tumor Suppression Mechanism Dependent upon the Dramatic Adrenarchal Rise of Adrenal Androgens
Authors: Nyce Jonathan Wesley
Published: April 2023

Adrenarche is a developmental phase that occurs only in humans and chimpanzees. It is characterized by the maturation of the adrenal zona reticularis, culminating in the synthesis and secretion of enormous amounts of dehydroepiandro-sterone sulfate (DHEAS) into the blood stream. The purpose of adrenarche, and the flooding of the circulation with DHEAS in the period preceding the onset of adult human body size, has been described as “enigmatic.” This laboratory has uncovered a previously unknown, human-specific “kill-switch” tumor suppression mechanism in which circulating DHEAS is pumped into cells that have undergone tumorigenic mutation(s)— primarily in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. We refer to such tumorigenic single cells as singularities. The advantage of eliminating tumorigenic cells while they are still in their single cell state, before they have evolved into the heterogeneous tumor cell populations that have proven refractory to chemotherapeutic sterilization, is obvious. This is accomplished by activation of the kill-switch in singularities by de-sulfating imported DHEAS to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a potent uncompetitive inhibitor of the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD). G6PD is responsible for the production of most of the NADPH required for the synthesis and maintenance of activity of anti-oxidant selenoproteins, and for the ubiquinol that prevents ferroptosis. In singularities, uncompetitive inhibition of G6PD by DHEA rapidly becomes irreversible, leading to ROS/ferroptosis-mediated cell death.
Assessment of the Exposure of Urban Areas the Pluvial Flood Risk Using the Method of Analytic Hierarchy Process
Authors: Skonieczna Magdalena , Walczykiewicz Tomasz
Published: April 2023

The report [1] shows that in many European cities the sewer system is older than 40 years, potentially reducing their ability to cope with more intense pluvial flooding [2] addition to climate change, urbanization is an important factor increasing the flooding risk, as it increases of impervious surfaces. Flash floods are particularly troublesome, causing not only the overloading of drainage systems [3], but also urban transport disruption, affecting human health, and contributing to pollution due to untreated sewage discharges [4]. Pluvial floods in urban areas are caused by short-duration precipitation, high intensity and on small scale. Such rainfall is difficult to predict and does not always apply to catchment areas. In Poland, heavy rainfall lasts relatively short, from a few minutes to a few, at most, several hours [5]. The method of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to rank the importance of criteria characterizing exposure in urban areas. The ranking is based on expert judgements. The article focuses on exposure which is one of the components of risk. Geographical Information System (GIS) is integrated with Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to evaluate exposure of urban area on pluvial floods.

Plant extracts have been evaluated to determine their bioactivities and their potential use in wound healing. In this study, a conductive composite material, based on graphene oxide (GO), nanocellulose (CNF) and tannins (TA) from pine bark, reduced using polydopamine (PDA), was developed for wound dressing. The amount of CNF and TA was varied in the composite material and a complete characterization including SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS, TGA was performed. Also, the conductivity, mechanical properties, cytotoxicity, and in vitro wound healing of the materials were evaluated. The results showed a successful physical interaction between CNF, TA and GO. In-creasing the CNF amount in the composite reduced the thermal properties, surface charge and conductivity of the material, but its strength, cytotoxicity and wound healing performance were improved. The TA incorporation slightly reduced the cell viability and migration, which may be associated with the doses used and the chemical composition of the extracts. However, the in vitro obtained results demonstrated that these composite materials can be suitable for wound healing.

Since the worldwide spread of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), treating taste and saliva secretory disorders associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become one of the most critical issues in the COVID-19 era. The aim of the present study was to update information on treatments being applicable to such oral symptoms and discuss their pathogenic mechanisms. Promising treatments include different types of methods using tetracycline, corticosteroid, zinc, stellate ganglion block, phytochemical curcumin, traditional herbal medicine, nutraceutical vitamin D, photobiomodulation, antiviral drug, malic acid sialagogue, chewing gum, acupuncture, and/or moxibustion. At present, however, fully validated treatments are still lacking for COVID-19-associated ageusia/dysgeusia/hypogeusia and xerostomia/dry mouth/hyposalivation. An appropriately selected treatment and oral healthcare should be provided to COVID-19 patients and survivors suffering from taste and saliva secretory disorders. Understanding of currently available treatment options is required for dental profes-sionals because they not only experience patients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 or recov-ered from COVID-19 but first become aware of their abnormal taste and salivary secretion. By doing so, dentists and dental hygienists can play a crucial role in managing COVID-19-associated oral symptoms and contribute to improving the oral health-related quality of life of the relevant dental patients.

Low pasture biomass production and fodder scarcity are among the major challenges affecting productivity of dairy cattle farms in Sri Lanka. As a potential solution to this, two Napier hybrid cultivars CO-5 and Sampoorna were recently introduced and a field experiment was conducted to evaluate their growth, dry matter production and nutritional composition during May to September 2020. Plant measurements and samples were collected at five harvest intervals (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks after planting), with the plant samples subjected to biomass and nutritional assessments. The number of tillers and leaf length differed (P=0.01) between the two cultivars at 4 weeks harvesting interval (HI) whilst number of leaves differed at 12 HI respectively. Dry matter yield increased (P=0.16) almost linearly whilst crude protein declined exponentially with CO-5 greater than Sampoorna (P=0.057; 9.3% vs 8.7%), with increasing harvesting intervals respectively. In-vitro Organic Matter Digestibility and In-vitro Metabolizable Energy contents were similar across weeks 4, 6 and 8 but then decreased. This study demonstrates that higher dry matter yields (12.54 t/ha) can be obtained by harvesting both cultivars at 12 HI, but from a nutritional perspective harvesting at 6 HI during Yala season of the year would be optimum for farmers.

There has been a rise in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) globally especially in low-and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. The condition has been linked to genetic predisposes, living conditions, and environmental factors. Environmental factors are considered a significant contributor to AD in low- and middle-income countries. This study determined the prevalence of AD in southwestern Nigeria and identified risk factors in home and school environments that children aged 6 to 14 years are exposed to. A cross-sectional study was adopted, and the total sample size was 349. Four randomly selected health facilities were used for the study. A questionnaire was used to determine the risk factors in the population. Data analysis was done using the latest version of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in this study is 25%. Atopic dermatitis was found to be common in females ( 27%). Children who lived where trucks pass on the street almost daily had the highest cases of atopic dermatitis (28%). Children with rugs in their houses and those whose houses are surrounded by bushes also had higher cases of atopic dermatitis at 26% and 26% respectively. Children who played on school grass, attended creche with rubber toys, and attended a school where wooden chairs and chalkboards were used had higher numbers of AD cases at 26%, 26%, 28%, and 27% respectively. This study identified home and school exposure that predisposes children to AD. It is envisaged that the study will serve as a basis for possible research on evidence-based treatment options.

Land Use /Land Cover (LULC) change is a major global concern and a topic of scientific debate. In West Africa, the key among the past changes is the loss of natural vegetation related to changes in different Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) categories, e.g., water bodies, wetland and bare soil. However, not all detected changes in these LULC categories are relevant for LULC change management intervention in a resource-constrained continent, as a massive change in the dominant LULC types may be due to errors in the LULC maps. Previous LULC change analysis detected large discrepancies in the existing LULC maps in the Africa continent. Here we applied an open and synergistic framework to update and improve the existing LULC maps at every five years intervals from 1990 to 2020 in West Africa at a finer spatial resolution of 30m. Next, we detected spatial temporal pattern in past and present LULC changes with the intensity analysis framework in the periods of 1990–2000, 2000–2010, and 2010–2020. A faster annual rate of overall transition was detected in 1990–2000 (first period) and 2010–2020 (recent period) than in 2000–2010 (middle). We observed consistent gains in rangeland (shrubland and grassland) in all the periods, which confirms the observed re-greening of rangeland in the West Africa continent. By contrast, forestland areas experienced consistent losses for the entire periods, which indicate deforestation and degradation. As regards cropland, a net loss was observed in the drought period and net gains in the subsequent periods. The settlement category also gained actively in all periods. Net losses of wetland and bare land categories were also observed in all the periods. We observed net gains in water bodies in 1990–2000 and net losses in the last period. We highlighted the active forestland losses as systematic and hence a clarion call for an intervention. The simultaneous active gross loss and gain intensity of cropland raises food security concern and must send an early warning signal to policy makers that the food security of marginal geographic locations is under threat despite the massive expansion of cropland observed in this study area. The intensity analysis framework was vital to identify the settlement category as relevant for LULC change management intervention across time and space in West Africa instead of focusing on dynamics of all the LULC categories that may be irrelevant and hence a cost effective LULC change management approach. Policies to control the expansion of settlements will indirectly regulate the expansion of cropland field because we observed that as settlement encroached on cropland, simultaneously cropland encroached on natural vegetation to meet the food security requirements of the inhabitants.

The importance of both recycling and additive manufacturing (AM) is increasing, however there has been a limited focus on development of AM alloys that are recyclably compatible with the larger scrap loops of wrought 5xxx, 6xxx and cast 3xx aluminium alloys. In this work the powder bed fusion (PBF) printability of AlMgSi alloys in the interval of 0-30wt%Mg and 0-4wt%Si is screened experimentally with a high throughput method. This method produces PBF mimicked material by PVD co-sputtering followed by laser remelting. Strong evidence was found for AlMgSi alloys being printable in two different composition ranges; Si+Mg<0.7wt% or for Si+2/3Mg>4wt% when Mg < 3wt% and Si > 3wt%. Increasing the amount of Mg and Si influence the grain structure by introducing fine columnar grains at the melt pool boundary, although the melt pool interior was unaffected. Hardness in as-built state increased with both Mg and Si, alt-hough Si had neglectable effect at low levels of Mg. Both evaporative loss of Mg and the amount of Mg in solid solution increased linearly with the amount of Mg.

The mutton quality of Chinese Tan lambs (Ovis aries) has declined as feeding patterns have shifted from pasturing to pen rationing. Mutton quality is affected by fatty acids, and rumen microorganisms play a role in the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids, long-chain fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acids. We used 16S rDNA sequencing to analyze the effects of two feeding patterns on the rumen bacteria of Tan lambs. In a randomized block design with 24 newborn Tan lambs, 12 lambs were fed by ewes in pasture and 12 were fed by pen-fed ewes. At 2 months, the biceps femoris and the longissimus dorsi were analyzed by gas chromatography for intramuscular fat content and fatty acid composition, and DNA in the rumen contents was extracted and used to analyze the structure of the bacterial community. Different feeding patterns had no significant effect on the intramuscular fat content of the biceps femoris and longissimus dorsi of the lambs, but there was a significant effect on fatty acid composition. Rumen bacteria were significantly more diverse in the pasture group than in the pen-ration group (P < 0.01). Twenty-one phyla were identified in the pasture group, and 14 phyla were identified in the pen-ration group. The dominant phyla in the pasture group were Bacteroidetes and Fibrobacteres; the dominant phyla in the pen-ration group were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria was significantly higher in the pen-ration group than in the pasture group (P < 0.01). Diversity at the genus level was also higher in the pasture group, with 176 genera in the pasture group and 113 genera in the pen-ration group. The dominant genera in the pasture group were Prevotella_1, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, and Bacteroidales_BS11_gut_group_Na; the dominant genera in the pen-ration group were Prevotella_1, Prevotella_7, Succinivibrionaceae_UCG-001, and Succinivibrionaceae_NA.
