Phương hướng bảo vệ môi trường trong hoạt động kinh doanh khai thác cảng biển tại Việt Nam
Authors: Trần Thị Tú Anh , Phạm Thanh Tuấn
Published: August 2022

Bảo vệ môi trường là hoạt động không thể tách rời trong kinh doanh khai thác cảng biển do đây là đầu mối quan trọng trong hoạt động giao thương, vận chuyển hàng hóa trong và ngoài nước. Đi đôi với sự phát triển của ngành kinh tế biển thì các rủi ro, nguy cơ về ô nhiễm môi trường càng lớn. Gần đây Việt Nam đã tham gia rất nhiều các Hiệp định thương mại tự do và Công ước quốc tế nên trách nhiệm bảo vệ môi trường thu hút được sự quan tâm lớn từ cộng đồng, dư luận. Tuy có nhiều doanh nghiệp cảng biển rất nỗ lực và tiên phong đi đầu trong các hoạt động bảo vệ môi trường thì cũng không ít các doanh nghiệp cảng biển vẫn chưa quan tâm đúng mực đến trách nhiệm đối với cộng đồng. Hệ quả là môi trường chung bị suy thoái, tổn thất và cần rất nhiều thời gian, nỗ lực để khắc phục. Nhằm định hướng các hoạt động bảo vệ môi trường trong khai thác cảng biển và đạt được mục tiêu phát triển bền vững, việc đề ra phương hướng chung có sự tham gia đầy đủ của các bên liên quan là vô cùng cần thiết trong bối cảnh hiện nay.
Our American Heritage: Trees
Authors: Lewis Clarence
Published: August 2022

The first tree introduced into America was the peach, by the Spaniards in the early 16th century. Pears, apples, cherries, quince, and plums followed in 1638 and again in 1663. Survival of man was foremost. The first tree shipped from America was the arbor-vitae, to France, before 1550. Indians used tamarack for thread, shagbark hickory for fresh cream. Peaches were planted by them in quantity. The first native trees planted by the Colonists were sugar maple, red oak, catalpa, and American elm. Those used for building and furniture were white oak and black walnut. American elms were of early historical significance; one was the "Liberty Tree," under one there was a signing of a peace treaty with the Indians by William Penn, and under one George Washington took command of the Continental Army. The first botanic garden was started by John Bartram near Philadelphia in 1728. The first commercial nursery, the Robert Prince Nursery in Flushing, New York, began in 1737 and existed until 1869 through four generations, included an extensive variety of fruits and ornamentals. The first organized street tree planting program occurred in Philadelphia in 1750. Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, is the oldest park in America. Men of importance regarding trees: Mark Catesby who introduced Nyssa sylvatlca, Asimina, etc.; John and William Bartram who found Franklinia alatamaha; Johnny Appleseed who started extensive apple plantations; Andre Michaux who discovered Cladrastis lutea; Joseph Howland who found Tsuga canadensis pendula; William Hamilton who planted the first fruit tree varieties; Dr. George Hall who first introduced trees directly from the Orient; and Dr. Ernest H. Wilson who explored and introduced plants extensively. There are many cultivars of recent essence including the Merrill magnolia, seedless and fruitless honeylocusts, Bradford pear, etc.
Canadian Shade Trees Go Metric
Authors: Andresen John
Published: August 2022

On 26 September 1975 the Canadian Metric Commission approved the formation of Subsector Committee 8.1.7: Urban Forestry-Arboriculture. As Canada moves through conversion to the metric system it will be the function of 8.1.7 to assist the Canadian Shade Tree Industry In its adoption of metric measurements. In this paper an outline of the 8.1.7 Subsector operations plan describes the sequential steps leading to an orderly transition to metric. A summary of 35 activity programs illustrates the work blocks requisite to final implementation of conversion.
Selection of Trees for Tolerance to Salt Injury
Authors: Dirr Michael
Published: August 2022

No plants are wholly immune to salt injury and this should be considered before any type of breeding-screeningselection process is initiated. Salinity, like other stressful features of the environment, results in the evolution of races, or ecotypes adapted to it. The possibility of breeding salt tolerance into plants exists, but the strategy has not been tried in any sustained energetic manner. Salt usage, especially deicing, is increasing yearly. Plants growing along highways, on lawns, and along sidewalks exhibit stem dieback, and many are killed. The salts are deposited as spray on buds, stems, and leaves or are accumulated in the root zone. Subsequent injury results from osmotic and/or specific ion effects. Evaluations of salt-induced injury should be based on salts, concentrations, application methods, osmotic effects, shoot or leaf contents of Cl, and perhaps, shoot levels of Na. The appearance of the plant is not always reflective of the salt-induced damage, and growth parameters should be used to augment visual evaluations.
Challenges of Municipal Arboriculture
Authors: Jorgensen Carl
Published: August 2022

Municipal arboriculture encompasses four principal objectives: 1) quality tree planting programs as growth of a city occurs, 2) preservation of existing trees, 3) maintenance of trees on the public right-of-way and city properties, and 4) education of the general public as to the value of trees. Varying approaches to these four objectives and the means of carrying them out are presented. Effective implementation of the objectives depends on a workable tree ordinance.
Performance Testing Tree Cultivars in Metropolitan Environments
Authors: Gerhold Henry , Bartoe W. Donald
Published: August 2022

A performance testing system is proposed for evaluating the health and growth of landscape trees planted in metropolitan regions. Test results would assist arborists in choosing species and cultivars that are best adapted to tolerate various kinds of unnatural stresses. Municipal arborists and commercial nurserymen would collaborate in the test program, contributing modest amounts of time. They would use ordinary procedures by which trees are grown, purchased, planted, and maintained, with only minor modifications. Data collected periodically by arborists would be analyzed by a test coordinator. Results pertaining to particular cities, and compilations for each species at all test sites, would become available to cooperators four years after the program started, and annually afterwards. Procedures of the test program are described, and the feasibility of putting it into operation is discussed.
Herbicide Combinations for Weed Control in Skyline Honeylocust
Authors: Prochaska Steven , Fretz Thomas
Published: August 2022

Pre-emergent fall applications of alachlor (Lasso) and oxadiazon (Ronstar) singly or in combination with linuron (Lorox) or simazine (Princep) exhibited in some cases excellent weed control in excess of 9 months in a Skyline honeylocust planting. Alachlor when applied at the 6.0 Ib AIA (active ingredient per acre) rate controlled annual grass weeds 10 months after application. Oxadiazon exhibited excellent control of both annual grasses and broadleaf weeds at all rates except when used singly at 3.0 Ib AIA. In addition, some control of bigroot morning glory (Ipomea pandurata) was observed with oxadiazon. Sequential applications of glysophate (Roundup) controlled weeds in the nursery situation with no phytotoxicity to the skyline honeylocust trees.
Advances in Tree Growth Control by Trunk Injection
Authors: Roberts Bruce
Published: August 2022

A study was made of new methods and chemicals for controlling regrowth in trees. As part of this research program a portable, air-powered equipment system was developed for injecting low volumes of concentrated aqueous chemical solutions into trees for sprout regrowth control. Using young seedlings in the greenhouse, 10 chemicals were screened for their effectiveness in controlling regrowth on 24 tree species. Laboratory studies were also conducted to determine the translocation and metabolic behavior of certain radio-labelled chemicals in young seedlings. Using the trunk injection technique, measurements of sprout regrowth were made on mature trees of several species during the period 1973-78. Of the growth regulators tested, daminozide, dikegulac and maleic hydrazide consistently caused reductions in sprout growth. In general, high concentrations were more effective in controlling regrowth than were low concentrations for equal volumes of the same chemical.
Arboricultural Challenges in Utah
Authors: Merrill Gary
Published: August 2022

The arid desert environment of Utah makes trees a virtual necessity for comfortable survival. Limited availability of water has promoted urbanized population concentrations, with associated urban forests. The generally alkaline soils, combined with a climate of seasonal extremes, provides a real challenge to applied arboriculture in these urban forests. The Tree Care Program for Murray, Utah provides an example of the problems common to the entire state, and some of the solutions developed.
Anatomy of Elms Injected to Control Dutch Elm Disease
Authors: Shigo Alex , Campana Richard , Hyland Fay , Anderson Janet
Published: August 2022

American elm trees that had widely separated vessels, compartmentalized discolored wood associated with injection wounds to small volumes. Discolored wood associated with the injection wounds was confined to tissues present at the time of wounding. The relationship of anatomical features to the degree of compartmentalization of discolored wood and to the resistance of elms to Dutch elm disease is discussed. All injection methods inflict a wound in the xylem. This paper gives some information on the compartmentalization of wound-altered tissues associated with injection wounds made for the prevention of Dutch elm disease in American elm, Ulmus americana L.
Urbanbase: Key to Urban Forestry Information
Authors: Magill Arthur
Published: August 2022

To accomplish effective communication and technology transfer in urban forestry planning and management, an urban forestry data base needs to be developed. URBANBASE is a proposed information retrieval and exchange system, computerized and interdisciplinary. If operational, URBANBASE would provide relevant references and digests of documents, in simple language to urban forestry practitioners, consultants, city and other local governments. It would service cities throughout the United States and parts of Canada, providing technical guidance and solutions to everyday problems in urban forestry.
Nutrient Treatments for Sugar Maple Decline
Authors: Funk Roger , Peterson Ward
Published: August 2022

Preliminary and ongoing research have shown that soil treatments with high nitrogen fertilizer can significantly improve leaf color of sugar maples (Acer saccharum) symptomatic of maple decline. Manganese treatments were less often effective. The nutrient level in chlorotic leaves was lower than in healthy leaves for all of the elements tested exept sodium and aluminum. The high level of sodium found in chlorotic leaves may implicate salt (sodium chloride) in maple decline.
Little-Known Asian Elms: Urban Tree Possibilities
Authors: Ware George
Published: August 2022

Five species of elms native to northern Asia are discussed as trees for possible urban use in the United States. At least a part of the natural range of each species extends into the areas with great temperature fluctuations and low rainfall. The rationale is that elm species from regions with harsh climates in Asia should prove suitable for planting in similar regions of North America. Such trees should also tolerate stresses associated with urban conditions in these North American regions.
Sources and Symptoms of Boron Toxicity in Container Grown Woody Ornamentals
Authors: Gilliam C.H. , Smith E.M.
Published: August 2022

Boron (B) toxicity is characterized by leaf tip yellowing and marginal chlorosis followed by leaf tip burning and premature leaf drop. Data showed that several common preplant media fertilizers are quite high in B. Boron toxicity is best avoided by proper pH balance and by avoiding micronutrient fertilizers with high levels of B.
Mycorrhizae: Facts and Fallacies
Authors: Iyer J.G. , Corey R.B. , Wilde S.A.
Published: August 2022

This paper points out the ephemeral nature of mycorrhizal short roots, influenced in their development by radiation, soil drainage, and eradicants. Emphasis is placed on rhizospheric and extramatrical mycelia as agents enriching soils in enzymes, chelates, and available nutrients. Inoculations of soil, seed, or stock with mycorrhiza-forming fungi without ascertaining the supply of major and minor nutrients and the soil's freedom from toxic substances will inflict financial losses and undermine the program. Inoculation of biocideimpaired nursery soils usually necessitates addition of suitable energy material and adjustment of soil fertility. Suggestions are made for clarification of conceptual discrepancies relevant to tree-fungus symbiosis.
Transplanting Method Influences Survival and Growth of Bare-Root Coniferous Nursery Stock
Authors: Lumis Glen , Johnson A. Gail
Published: August 2022

The survival and subsequent growth of conifers transplanted bare-root using several methods to reduce moisture loss were compared to that of conventional balled and burlapped (B&B) plants. Treating plants with foliar antidesiccant (Wilt-Pruf® NCF) prior to digging combined with storage in Plant Fresh® polyethylene bags was a satisfactory method of bare-root transplanting. All bare-root transplanted Juniperus virginiaia L. 'Grey Rock' (60-70 cm), stored for 5 days, and Juniperus chinensis L. 'Keteleeri' (1.5-1.75 m), stored for 16 days, survived and grew as well as the control B&B plants. Taxus x media Rehd. 'Andersoni' (50-60 cm) treated with foliage antidesiccant and/or enclosed in poly bags and stored for 5 days had foliar injury similar to B&B plants. Quality was poorer for Taxus plants treated with only root antidesiccant. Bare-root transplanting of Picea abies Karst. (1.25-1.5m), stored for 14 days, resulted in some foliar injury and reduced shoot growth compared to B&B plants, however, plants treated with foliar antidesiccant and enclosed in poly bags were of acceptable quality. Thuja occidentalis L. 'Pyramidalis' (1.0-1.25m) stored for 14 days and transplanted bare-root were of unacceptable quality.
Urban Forestry in the Federal Republic of Germany
Authors: Schabel Hans
Published: August 2022

Every third person in West Germany lives in a large city with a population of more than 100,000. In some areas population densities approach 5,500 persons per square kilometer! In spite of the resulting pressures, German cities are generally considered very livable places. Urban foresters share the credit for contributing to the enhancement of the quality of living through their professional involvement. In the sense of providing on a sustained basis multiple benefits to city people, urban forests in Germany have been in existence for at least 50 years. However, events as far back as 600 years ago help explain certain aspects of these forests. The most dramatic changes and developments leading to Germany's contemporary "green" cities took place after WW II. Reconstruction of the war-ravaged, overpopulated cities led to urban renewal guided by concerted urban planning which tries to integrate traditional and modern, architectural, social, political, infra-structural and environmental considerations. As a result of the urban planning process, the urban forest in many German cities is a composite of three distinct components: the peripheral green belt and radial spokes together with other inner city green spaces. These components are serving product (timber), environmental (noise and air pollution abatement, climate modification, watershed protection) and recreational functions to variable degrees.
Wood Characteristics Related to "Injectability" of Trees
Authors: Sinclair W.A. , Larsen A.O.
Published: August 2022

Water at 0.7 kg/cm (10 psi) was injected through friction-seated spiles into holes 1.1 X 4 cm in stems and roots of 13 angiosperm and one gymnosperm tree species in late June and late September. Flow rates per injection site were greatest for basswood, hawthorn and black cherry (135-176 ml/min); and near zero for butternut, shagbark hickory, white ash and eastern white pine. Injection rates in the deciduous species were positively correlated with an index that could be calculated from published data about the woods: relative frequency of vessels in transverse view Hspecific gravity. Flow rates were not consistently related to arrangement or size of water-conducting elements or to roots versus stems as injection sites. Rates were greater in late September than in late June.
Landfill Gas, What It Does to Trees, and How Its Injurious Effects May Be Prevented
Authors: Flower Franklin , Gilman Edward , Leone Ida
Published: August 2022

The conversion of former refuse landfills into post closure uses generally involves the planting of trees for aesthetic and occasionally commercial purposes. The authors have noted that it is frequently difficult to obtain satisfactory tree growth when the gases of anaerobic decomposition of the organic matter contained in the refuse are present. The lack of oxygen and the presence of excessive quantities of carbon dioxide in the soil root zone appear to be the cause of much tree injury and death when the trees are grown above or adjacent to former refuse fills. Thin, low-nuthent-content cover soils, lack of adequate soil moisture, excessive compaction, and surface settlement have also been identified as problems found associated with former refuse deposit areas. Methods are suggested for preventing the entry of landfill gases into the root zones of the trees and in accommodating other tree growth problems found associated with former refuse dumping areas. These include gas venting and blocking, irrigation, planting adaptable species, using small sized specimens in preference to large, and providing adequate maintenance.
Defoliation and Secondary-Action Organism Attack: With Emphasis on Armillaria Mellea
Authors: Wargo Philip
Published: August 2022

Defoliation-induced changes in trees predispose them to attack by secondary-action organisms which can kill the tree. Both physical and chemical changes occur in defoliated trees that enhance the growth and metabolism of secondary-action organisms. Specific interactions of Armillaria mellea and chemical changes in roots of defoliated trees are described. Control strategies are discussed.

Chamber and Field Evaluations of Air Pollution Tolerances of Urban Trees
Authors: Karnosky David
Published: August 2022

Results are presented for a study of the relative air pollution tolerances of 32 urban-tree cultivars as determined by both chamber fumigations and field exposures. Tolerances to ozone and sulfur dioxide, alone and in combination, were determined using short-term, acute doses administered while the plants were inside a plastic fumigation chamber located inside the Cary Arboretum greenhouses. In a follow-up study still underway, representatives of the same cultivars were outplanted at four locations in the greater New York City area. To date, only oxidant-type injury has been observed on trees in the field plots. Cultivars tolerant to all chamber and field exposures were Acer platanoides 'Cleveland,' 'Crimson King,' 'Emerald Queen,' 'Jade Glen,' and 'Summershade'; Acer rubrum 'Autumn Flame' and 'Red Sunset'; Acer saccharum 'Green Mountain' and 'Temple's Upright'; Fagus sylvatica 'Rotundifolia'; Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Summit'; and Ginkgo biloba 'Fastigate' and 'Sentry.' Cultivars sensitive to ozone as determined by the chamber and field tests and that may serve as bioindicators of the presence of ozone were Gleditsia triacanthos inermis 'Imperial' and Platanus acerifolia 'Bloodgood.'
The Problem with Insects is People
Authors: Weidhaas John
Published: August 2022

In recent years the general public, public attitudes, special interest groups, and a flurry of pesticide legislation have had a major impact on shade tree entomology and arboriculture. People outside of those professions are increasingly involved in more rapid spread of insects, the decisionmaking process in insect control programs and regulations of pest control activities. Area-wide insect control programs must be thoroughly planned and adequately publicized to be successful. Arborists have the opportunity to develop improved tree protection services, rather than spraying services, and develop Integrated Pest Management techniques toward an overall shade tree management system. Now and in the future arborists need to be concerned and involved with "people" problems as well as insect problems.

Trunk Injection of Plant Growth Regulators to Control Tree Regrowth
Authors: Domir Subhash , Roberts Bruce
Published: August 2022

In a continuing study of the chemical control of trees under utility rights-of-way, the sprout regrowth of the American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), silver maple (Acer saccharinum), red oak (Quercus rubra), and shamel ash {Fraxinus uhdei) injected with water solutions of 1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione (maleic hydrazide, MH) and the sodium salt of 2,3:4, 6-bis-0-(1 -methylethylidene)-tf-L-xylo-2-hexulofuranosonic acid (dikegulac) in the spring of 1977 was recorded again in the fall of 1979 after 3 growing seasons. High concentrations of dikegulac were effective in reducing regrowih on silver maple and red oak after 3 years when compared to untreated controls. Although treatmens made on sycamore and shamel ash showed no significant effect in 1979, visual observations by utility line clearance personnel suggest that chemically treated trees will need no trimming for an additional year or two.

Response of Woody Landscape Plants to Bermudagrass Competition and Fertility
Authors: Whitcomb Carl
Published: August 2022

Four species of woody plants were grown at 3 fertilizer levels in an established bermudagrass sod with 3 sizes of areas free of bermudagrass around the plants. By the end of the second growing season, all woody species were much larger when bermudagrass was kept away from the base of the plants. There was no difference in plant response between the sizes of the 2 cleared areas except the visual grade of holly and privet. Keeping a cleared area free of bermudagrass around newly planted trees and shrubs greatly increases growth.

Published: August 2022

Skin disease are commonest than other diseases. It might be caused by bacteria, parasites and viruses etc. The Advanced medical technology has made it possible to identify the skin disease faster and accurate. However, the cost of such skin diseases remains limited and expensive. So image processing techniques aid in the development of an automated screening system for dermatology at an early stage. The features extraction plays vital role in the classification of skin diseases. Computer vision has a function in the detection of pores and skin illnesses in variety of strategies. This research aims to detect three common diseases such as acne, hyper pigmentation and psoriasis. We proposed an image processing techniques that accepts the digital image of disease, then image analysis to identify the type of disease. The proposed method is very simple, fast and does not need any additional equipment. It accepts input of color image and it resizes the image to extract features using CNN. Then multi class features are classified using first order feature extraction method. Lastly, the type of disease, spread and severity are shown to the user. The system identifies three different types of disease accurately.
À sombra da colonialidade: a violência em "The welcome table", de Alice Walker, e "Duzu-Querença", de Conceição Evaristo
Authors: Hermes Ernani Silverio , Umbach Rosani Úrsula Ketzer
Published: August 2022

Este artigo objetiva analisar dois contos, “The welcome table”, da escritora afro-americana Alice Walker, e “Duzu-Querença”, da escritora afro-brasileira Conceição Evaristo. O ponto principal da análise é entender como as duas narrativas literárias encenam violências perpetuadas ao longo da história por uma matriz colonial de poder. Partindo desse ponto, observamos as violências de raça e gênero pela lente da decolonialidade a partir do desenvolvimento dos enredos e das dinâmicas de figuração das personagens. Para tanto, na primeira seção apresentamos algumas teorizações sobre a (de)colonialidade e os seus desdobramentos a partir da violência e as sua relação com a literatura. Na sequência, analisamos os textos literários a partir das questões levantadas na discussão teórica observando como é construída a semantização das opressões sustentadas pela colonialidade.
O Uirapuru, a Águia e o Condor: as literaturas indígenas de Abya Yala
Authors: Jacob Lívia Penedo
Published: August 2022

Neste artigo, objetivamos verificar as condições de surgimento das literaturas indígenas em contexto norte-americano, hispano-americano e brasileiro, em perspectiva comparada, a fim de compreender as interferências coloniais nesses processos. Foram utilizadas abordagens teóricas diversas, a exemplo das pesquisas de Hunt (2002), Fulford (2006), García Canclini (2008), Munduruku (2012), Del Valle Escandante (2013), Viveiros de Castro (2016) e Dorrico et al. (2018). A análise comprovou que, embora condicionadas por mecanismos ocidentais (mercado, público consumidor etc.), as obras indígenas tendem a não se adaptar ao mainstream, o que justifica a necessidade de interpretá-las a partir de seus contextos histórico-culturais.
Translating Empire, Translating Cartier and Léry into English: text and context in comparative narratives of expansion and the new world
Authors: Hart Jonathan L.
Published: August 2022

This article provides comparative texts and contexts between Brazil and Canada in the Atlantic world, not simply an Inter-American comparison, but a trans-Atlantic and global typology. It focuses on the translation of empire through translation, particularly of part of Jacques Cartier’s narratives about Canada by John Florio in 1580 and of Jean de Léry’s account of the voyage to Brazil in Samuel Purchas’ collection in 1625. English travel or encounter literature is in the service of contact, exploration, encounter and possible possession and settlement. The Spanish, through Columbus, and the Portuguese as well as the French are part of this comparative literature and these cultural texts, which are intertextual and translational, among themselves and with English culture and literature. The encounter between the Indigenous peoples and Europeans in the New World, in Brazil and Canada is central to changing the literature and cultures of the Americas, Europe, Africa, and of the world as seen in the texts analyzed here. The building of English travel accounts, literature and empire is also, to an important degree, intertextual, intercultural, and translational.

Abstract: KSPPS BMT BINA USAHA MANDIRI INDONESIA (BUMI) is a financial institution in the form of a cooperative. The problem that has been experienced by KSPPS BMT Bina Usaha Mandiri Indonesia (BUMI) itself is to provide or propose whether the prospective financing member is approved or not. The increasing number of requests for financing from the KSPPS BMT Bina Usaha Mandiri Indonesia (BUMI) difficulties in decision making and programs that are not yet computerized can cause errors in selecting candidates for members who are eligible for financing. If an error occurs, there will be bad or problem loans which cause Non-Performing Financing (NPF) to cause the cooperative to suffer losses. Non-Performing Financing (NPF) is one of the assessments of an Islamic bank, especially in problems. So it is necessary to design a Decision Making System (DSS) using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The results of the study are expected to assist the cooperative in making decisions.

La rebelión de Enriquillo
Authors: Cassá Roberto
Published: August 2022

Este escrito es una mirada crítica y un balance histórico sobre la revuelta indígena iniciada en 1519 capitaneada por el cacique Enriquillo. A pesar de su trascendencia e importancia, la revuelta del cacique es uno de los temas históricos menos estudiados de la etapa colonial. Hasta el momento se conoce más la historia novelada Enriquillo de Manuel de Jesús Galván, que la verdad histórica. Precisamente por esta razón, este texto aborda los temas más complejos de aquella rebelión contextualizando las acciones de los sectores en conflicto y poniendo énfasis en las cuestiones que realmente dieron origen al conflicto, en el interés de desmitificar la idea más manejada por la historiografía sobre las razones del alzamiento.

Se destaca, de igual manera, que lo que en un principio fue una huida, práctica común entre los esclavos, pronto se convertiría en una revuelta de profundo calado que atrajo a un número significativo de esclavos nativos. La verdad histórica sobre la rebelión del Bahoruco queda expuesta en este trabajo al acercar la personalidad del cacique más a la realidad que a la ficción. De ahí las preguntas y los cuestionamientos que aparecen en este discurso para profundizar en el hecho histórico. De esto trata este trabajo. Es una síntesis reflexiva sobre uno de los hechos que marcaron y definieron la cultura y las costumbres de la población esclava de la isla.
Entre el exilio y la historia: la memoria emblemática de Ángel Miolán en contra de la dictadura de Trujillo (1930-1961)
Authors: Bonilla Carlo Walter R
Published: August 2022

Este artículo analiza las principales características de la memoria del líder antitrujillista Ángel Miolán. Se examina cómo Miolán intentó convencer a los lectores de que sus vivencias emblemáticas en la Era de Trujillo son una ruptura no resuelta de la historia dominicana. Se describe de qué forma el autor logra incorporar en su relato la participación de otros actores sociales, con los cuales debe argumentar o justificar sus experiencias del pasado, para fungir como portavoz de los valores éticos y democráticos de los exiliados antitrujillistas. La hipótesis que guía este ensayo es que la memoria de Miolán es emblemática debido a que tiene la capacidad de provocar una empatía y un respeto de la sociedad dominicana.

The theory of Argumentation is one of the most important theories of pragmatics that concerns the linguistic means and the potential of the natural languages on which the speaker is available, and is interested in studying the rhetorical effectiveness made by the persuader, in order to influence the other(s) with the proposed thesis, its field is wide and complex, and is related to different ideological sciences. Further, its strategies are diverse, and among them one is called the argumentative factors, which are related to the internal structure of the text, it is not within the same saying, the opposite of the links between arguments and results, in order to direct the addressee towards a deliberate result where the function of factors in increasing the power of argumentative speech. The Qur’an women's stories are rich in the employment of persuasive language due to its multiplicity of topics and the diversity of its receivers: therefore, Quran employs a lot of argumentative strategies in order to influence the addressees and get them to be convinced and comply with what it says, and to reflect it in their different positions and behaviors. One of these strategies is the argumentative factors. The nature of the research necessitated the adoption of a method based on the description, analysis, and statistics in the treatment of verses of the Holy Quran, as it dealt with the study of the argumentative factors. The result of the study shows that (إن) /ina/ as an argumentative factor is the most frequently used factor, eight times, in Quran woman’s stories, to show assurance and affirmation.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago was the trigger of various forms of reaction against individuals and business entities. Though its effects on the survival of businesses depend on the severity and prevalence of the contagion in each geographical location, firms may still face a variety of challenges due to the interdependencies between businesses and customers. Ayam Bismi is not spared the effects and pressures of this challenging situation. Even if the company is operating, as usual, it still needs to review its business operations and tailor them according to its current suitability and needs. This situation raises several questions: What are the issues faced by Ayam Bismi? More specifically, this case would demonstrate how the decisions of the government regarding the Movement Control Order (MCO) continued. This became a push factor for Jaffri Ahmad and Mazlina Kamarudin, the owners of Ayam Bismi, to carry out their usual business activities to sustain this enterprise in these challenging times. But as they were adjusting to the changing business scene and activities, they overlooked certain business issues, specifically the controlled price of chicken in the market, hence burdening the business with ever-constrained cash flows. It would be useful to document their experiences to illustrate the extent of their efforts to which the organization’s strategies were directly affected by the crisis, and how they made a difference to the continuity and viability of Ayam Bismi. Such a case, as well, could facilitate the development of certain steps to mitigate losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. These steps may also be applied outside of crises to bring additional benefits to other types of businesses too.

Sodium Phenylbutyrate and Ursodoxicoltaurine (Albrioza)
Authors: CADTH
Published: August 2022

CADTH recommends that Albrioza be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) if certain conditions are met.

Albrioza should only be covered to treat those who have a diagnosis of definite ALS, have had symptoms for 18 months or less, have a forced vital capacity (FVC) of at least 60% of predicted, and do not require permanent noninvasive or invasive breathing support.

Albrioza should only be reimbursed if prescribed by a specialist with experience diagnosing and managing ALS and if the cost is reduced.
Stable isotopic evidence for the excess leaching of unprocessed atmospheric nitrate from forested catchments under high nitrogen saturation

Abstract. The average concentration of stream nitrate eluted from the FK forested catchments (FK1 and FK2) in Japan was more than 90 µM, implying that these forested catchments were under nitrogen saturation. To verify that these forested catchments were under the nitrogen saturation, we determined the export flux of unprocessed atmospheric nitrate relative to the entire deposition flux (Matm / Datm ratio) in these catchments, because the Matm / Datm ratio has recently been proposed as a reliable index to evaluate nitrogen saturation in forested catchments. Specifically, we determined the temporal variation in the concentrations and stable isotopic compositions, including Δ17O, of stream nitrate in the FK catchments for more than 2 years. In addition, for comparison, the same parameters were also monitored in the MY forested catchment in Japan during the same period, where the average stream nitrate concentration was low, less than 10 µM. While showing the average nitrate concentrations of 109.5, 94.2, and 7.1 µM in FK1, FK2, and MY, respectively, the catchments showed average Δ17O values of +2.6, +1.7, and +0.6 ‰ in FK1, FK2, and MY, respectively. Thus, the average concentration of unprocessed atmospheric nitrate ([NO3−atm]) was estimated to be 10.8, 6.1, and 0.2 µM in FK1, FK2, and MY, respectively, and the Matm / Datm ratio was estimated to be 13.9, 7.9, and 1.2 % in FK1, FK2, and MY, respectively. The estimated Matm / Datm ratio in FK1 (13.9 %) was the highest ever reported from temperate forested catchments monitored for more than 1 year. Thus, we concluded that nitrogen saturation was responsible for the enrichment of stream nitrate in the FK catchments, together with the elevated NO3−atm leaching from the catchments. While the stream nitrate concentration ([NO3−]) can be affected by the amount of precipitation, the Matm / Datm ratio is independent of the amount of precipitation; thus, the Matm / Datm ratio can be used as a robust index for evaluating nitrogen saturation in forested catchments.
MULTIOBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF OPEN AREAS INVADED BY FOREST WITH OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE: THE CASE OF THE SATURN PROJECT

Abstract. In the last decades in Italian mountainous regions, forests are invading abandoned pastures and cultivated surfaces that often played a key ecological role for biodiversity conservation, a complex land-use change phenomenon. To improve sustainable regional planning and management it is increasingly important to quantify the phenomenon and classify those areas according their ecological vocation. This study explores multi-objective and multi-criteria assessment for the identification of the most suitable areas for agricultural purposes between those surfaces that have been invaded by forests. Free and Open-Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) software has been used to carry out the research. The work here presented has been funded by the EIT Climate-KIC SATURN project (2018-2021) and was carried out in the pilot areas of the Province of Trento (Italy). Geospatial data set was georeferenced and managed with GRASS and QGIS and the files were collected combining data freely available at the Autonomous Province of Trento geocatalogue as well as others self-produced during the project. The comparative analysis and methodology were carried out by means of QGIS 3.16 Geographic Information System which has been used to complete the analysis to develop a methodology that can be widely used by territorial operators and Public Administrations. To validate the model and verify the results, on-site inspections were carried out. The developed model can be used in different environmental assessments for territorial planning purposes.
