PARíâ??METROS TERMO-H DRICOS DA GERMINAíâ?¡ÃO DE SEMENTES DE Astronium fraxinifolium SCHOTT E ASPECTOS ECOFISIOLíâ??GICOS.
Authors: Cardoso Victor José Mendes
Published: March 2021

Modelos matemáticos baseados no conceito de ââ?¬Å?tempo térmicoââ?¬Â (thermal time) assumem que, dentro de uma amostra de sementes, sempre existirão aquelas que germinam mais rápido, as intermediárias e as mais lentas, e essa ordem independe da temperatura. Modelo similar também tem sido usado para descrever a dependência da germinação em relação ao potencial de água (hydrotime), assumindo que cada semente apresenta um potencial hí­drico base (Yb(G)) que determina sua sensibilidade ao ïÂâ?¢ do meio. Neste trabalho, mostrou-se que os pressupostos do modelo foram atendidos na resposta   temperatura e potencial de água por sementes de Astronium fraxinifolium (Anacardiaceae), sendo que o modelo respondeu por aproximadamente 70% da variação total dos tempos de germinação. Possí­veis implicações ecofisiológicas e perspectivas de utilização dos parâmetros do modelo na germinação da espécie são discutidos.

Published: March 2021

O primeiro passo para a identificação de um gênero ou uma espécie é normalmente conhecendo a qual famí­lia pertence. As chaves de identificação tradicionais são dicotômicas, raramente ilustradas e baseadas principalmente em caracteres florais, restringindo, assim, a identificação das plantas   fenofase reprodutiva. O objetivo desse trabalho foi a elaboração de uma chave interativa ilustrada para as famí­lias de angiospermas do Cerrado, visando facilitar esse processo. Foram incluí­das as 170 famí­lias de angiospermas nativas do Bioma e usados 89 caracteres, organizados em sete categorias: Tipo de planta, Folha, Inflorescência, Flor, Fruto, Semente e ââ?¬Å?Outros caracteres vegetativosââ?¬Â. A chave está ilustrada com mais de 400 imagens, que inclui o glossário de caracteres e as pranchas das famí­lias e encontra-se disponí­vel gratuitamente na internet. As análises de eficácia da chave mostraram que, em geral, as famí­lias são facilmente separadas com poucos caracteres, mas necessitando de mais informações ao utilizar apenas caracteres vegetativos.

Melinis minutiflora é uma gramí­nea invasora em extensas áreas de Cerrado. Neste estudo de caso, foi utilizado corte anual a fim de verificar seu efeito no recrutamento de novos indiví­duos de Melinis minutiflora. Em setembro de 2007, após a dispersão das sementes, o corte foi aplicado em uma área de 50  x  50 m e, nos quatro anos seguintes, o corte foi aplicado após a dispersão das sementes de M. minutifolia. A densidade de sementes no solo foi estimada antes de cada corte. Em 2007, a densidade de sementes de Melinis minutifolia variou de 8.025 a 22.350 sementes  m-2, sendo reduzida para 88 a 313 sementes  m-2 em 2011. Na primeira estação de crescimento, o recrutamento foi de oito  plântulas de M. minutifolia  por metro quadrado, sem recrutamento nos anos seguintes. As reduções significativas no banco de sementes e no recrutamento sugerem que o corte antes da dispersão das sementes é útil para controlar o recrutamento de M. minutiflora.

Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural (RPPNs) são uma importante ferramenta para a proteção da biodiversidade, envolver proprietários de terra no desafio da conservação da natureza e na promoção de atividades ecoturí­sticas. Avaliamos a implementação destas unidades de conservação na paisagem da região da Chapada dos Veadeiros através da existência de planos de manejo e ferramentas de gestão, visando entender o uso dessas reservas e sua representatividade na paisagem da Chapada dos Veadeiros. A região da Chapada dos Veadeiros ocupa terras de cinco municí­pios do norte de Goiás. As 21 RPPNs da região somam 21.515,87 hectares (cerca de 1/3 do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros), correspondendo a 1,4% da região estudada. O tamanho das reservas variou entre 1,43 e 8.730,45ha e tendem a serem maiores e mais adensadas nas proximidades do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros. Embora tais reservas contribuam para o desenvolvimento de atividades de ecoturismo, para o incentivo de criação de novas RPPNs e para a conservação do Cerrado, ainda carecem de instrumentos de monitoramento e gestão. Desta forma, estratégias de monitoramento e avaliação do manejo devem ser estabelecidas, possibilitando quantificar os benefí­cios gerados pelas reservas particulares na região da Chapada dos Veadeiros.

Later gene rearrangement genetic algorithm (HGA) is implemented for same set of problems with makespan as objective and the results are compared with the results of priority rules. The results are performed well by using HGA.  The same HGA is used to find the finest optimal sequence that minimize the operational completion time.
SEGMENT RANDOM INSERTION PERTURBATION SCHEME (SRIPS) GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Authors: Et. al. Dr. Nageswara Rao.M,
Published: March 2021

This paper lays down a formal framework for simultaneous scheduling of machines- automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and tools in a multi-machine flexible manufacturing system (FMS) while accounting for transport times of parts to minimise makespan. To minimize tooling costs- a central tool magazine (CTM) is suggested so that the tools are ‘shared’. AGVs and tool transporter (TT) carry jobs and tools between machines. The complexity of including sequencing of job operations on machines- assignment of AGVs and tools to job operations and corresponding trip operations such as the empty trip and loaded trip times of AGVs and a CTM in scheduling is greater. The scope of this paper is to propose a nonlinear Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model to minimize makespan. Since the problem is known to be NP hard- it is conjectured and then verified that the intelligent behaviour of chromosomes and genes can be effectively used to lay down a metaheuristic algorithm known as a segment random insertion perturbation scheme genetic algorithm (SRIPSGA) suitable for the problem at hand- and the results have been tabulated and analyzed.

Trichoderma viride Controls Macrophomina phaseolina through its DNA disintegration and Production of Antifungal Compounds
Authors: Khan Iqra Haider
Published: March 2021

Macrophomina phaseolina is a highly destructive pathogen of more than 500 plant species. It is difficult to eradicate it through chemical means as no patented fungicide is available against this pathogen. Biological control is the possible alternative method for its suitable management. The present study was carried out to evaluate the biocontrol potential of five Trichoderma spp. against M. phaseolina and the possible mechanisms of action. Identifications of all the Trichoderma spp. viz. T. hamatum, T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. longipile and T. viride were confirmed on molecular basis by using two universal primer pairs namely ITS and EF1. Their biocontrol potential was evaluated in dual culture plate method where T. viride showed the highest inhibitory efficacy (63%) against M. phaseolina. T. koningii, T. hamatum and T. longipile showed akin effects by arresting growth of the pathogen by 46–47% followed by T. harzianum (28%). To find out the mechanisms of action, secondary extrolites of the best biocontrol fungus T. viride were tested against the pathogenic genomic DNA where all the concentrations partially degraded DNA bands after 24 h of incubation and a complete DNA band disappearance was noted after 48 h incubation. In addition, T. viride culture filtrates were partitioned with chloroform and ethyl acetate and subjected to GC-MS analysis for identification of potential antifungal constituents. The most abundant identified volatile compounds in the two organic solvent fractions were 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- (44.54%), n-hexadecanoic acid (24.02%), hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester (14.25%), 9-tricosene, (Z)- (10.43%) and [1,1'-bicyclopropyl]-2-octanoic acid, 2'-hexyl-, methyl ester (10.43%). To conclude, T. viride was the best biocontrol agent against M. phaseolina and acts against the pathogen by DNA disintegration and production of antifungal secondary metabolites. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Authors: Vázquez Ben Lucía
Published: March 2021

A perda de biodiversidade é un dos problemas ambientais máis urxentes nos nosos días, pero só pode solucionarse por medio da participación, activa e responsable, de toda a cidadanía. Agora ben, para poder entender e valorar a biodiversidade no seu conxunto, é necesario coñecer a evolución biolóxica, pois é este modelo científico o que explica como se orixinou e, polo tanto, as serias consecuencias que pode ter a súa progresiva desaparición. Mais comprender a evolución precisa dunha progresión no seu ensino, que debería comezar nas primeiras etapas. Neste estudo revísase o currículo de ciencias para a etapa de educación primaria para a analizar o seu tratamento nas sucesivas leis educativas implantadas desde 1970 ata a actualidade. Esta análise mostra en que medida se están a impartir nesas idades coñecementos básicos para comprender o mundo que nos rodea. Os resultados poñen de manifesto as graves carencias que presenta a normativa vixente con respecto a esta cuestión, o que pode obstaculizar que estes futuros cidadáns podan tomar decisións acaídas respecto a un tema tan relevante como a conservación ou perda da biodiversidade.

Anesthetic Neurotoxicity in Children
Authors: Salik Irim
Published: March 2021

The clinical pediatric anesthesiology community has been greatly affected by a growing body of research suggesting that sedative drugs and anesthetic agents may have long lasting detrimental neurocognitive effects in children. Various animal models have indicated apoptotic brain cell death and neurocognitive impairment following anesthetic exposure in early life. Although these studies cannot be directly extrapolated to anesthesia in children, parents and governmental regulatory agencies have been paying attention nonetheless.

Computational thinking (CT) is one of the skills or processes needed in computer science. However, these skills can also be integrated into any field in education. The objective of this literature review is to study the benefits and challenges of computational thinking (CT) in education. This literature review is analyses 55 references obtained from various sources, based on predefined keywords. The references were then analysed using NVivo software to code them according to several main points. Based on the literature review, there are many benefits of computational thinking in education, including increasing critical and analytical thinking among students, cultivating CT skills in STEM education among students, improving pedagogy and curriculum, and fostering CT skills through game-based learning (GBL). However, there are some challenges facing the implementation of computational thinking in the field of education. These include teachers’ understanding of computational CT, lack of confidence, lack of the skills required to implement CT, and students’ acceptance of CT. In order to overcome these challenges, there are two important aspects to consider: ensuring teachers’ level of knowledge and level of readiness about CT is high. It is hoped that this literature review will be able to provide educators with an understanding of the extent to which CT is able to shape education to be more creative and meaningful.

Background: Vaccine has been identified as the most cost-effective way of fighting COVID-19 pandemic. As most countries await the COVID-19 vaccine for mass administration amidst numerous misconceptions, it is imperative to assess willingness of the masses to take the vaccine. This study aimed to assess the determinants of willingness to uptake COVID-19 vaccines among residents of Osun State.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed. Seven hundred and forty-four respondents were enrolled from three selected local government areas using a multistage sampling method. Interviewer administered questionnaire, structured based on the health belief model and social cognitive theory, in electronic format (Kobo Collect) was used for data collection. Determinants of willingness to take COVID-19 vaccine were assessed using binary logistic regression.Results: About three-quarters (59.1%) of the respondents were willing to take the vaccine. There was a significant association between positive perception and willingness to take COVID-19 vaccine, p<0.001. Being a healthcare worker, having good knowledge of the disease, and willingness-to-pay for the vaccine were significant determinants of willingness to uptake COVID-19 vaccine. Presence of misconception had a negative effect on the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine.Conclusions: To achieve high COVID-19 vaccine coverage, there is a need for health promotion interventions to correct misconceptions about COVID-19. Government and private donor interventions may be required to subsidize the vaccine to care for the populace who are willing to uptake but unable to pay for the vaccine.

Background: Breast cancer is a leading health problem in females in developing countries. It is associated with various risk factors which are largely preventable. Risk factor awareness and adherence to healthy life style can play a significant role in prevention of cancer. So, study was undertaken to assess the awareness of risk factor of breast cancer and practices of breast self-examination among unmarried females.Methods:  A descriptive cross sectional study design was adopted to recruit 150 subjects. Purposive sampling technique was used to enrol unmarried females above 19 years of age. Written informed consent was taken from participants. Interview schedule was constructed, validated and used for data collection. The data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0.Results: Findings of the study revealed that mean age of participant was 22.65±3.21 years. Most of the females were aware that non breast-feeding practices (94.7%), infertility (84.7%), using oral contraceptives pills (50.7%), advancing age (48%), and any trauma to breast (36.7%) are risk factors of breast cancer. Nearly three fourth (76%) of the subjects had good awareness of breast cancer risk factors. However, breast self-examination was only practiced by 14.6% (22) subjects from total 150 subjects.Conclusions: Study concluded that most of the women were aware about the risk factors of breast cancer, however only few were practicing breast self-examination. Since screening and early detection of breast cancer is crucial for cancer control, nurses as health professionals have a significant role to play in early detection and increasing awareness among individuals and communities.

Published: March 2021

The success of every construction projects largely depends on the level of commitment of the clients. This study examined the factors influencing the level of clients’ commitment to sustainable construction practices in Nigeria. A questionnaire survey was use to collect data from the public and private construction clients on the level of influence of 16 factors extracted from the literature. A total of 182 valid questionnaires were used for analysis. The result revealed that nine factors with weighted average (W) 0.8≤W≤1 have a high level of influence, whereas seven factors with 0.6≤W≤0.8 have a high-medium level of influence on the clients’ commitment. However, the five most influential factors were: client knowledge and awareness, Cost implication and mechanism of financial involvement, economic value and return on investment, end-user/client perception and preference, and health and safety implications. The result further revealed that there is significant difference on how these factors influence the level of commitment of sustainable construction practices of the public and private clients. The study suggested that the disparity was due to the differences in the level of knowledge, awareness, involvement and commitment of the public and private clients to sustainable construction concept. Hence, it is important to optimize the level of knowledge and awareness of the clients, about the cost, benefits/profits, and health and safety implications of sustainable construction practices so as to promote the level of client’s commitment to sustainable construction practices. It recommended for adequate client involvement throughout the sustainable construction life cycle and a sustained awareness campaign, championed by relevant government agencies and professional organizations through different public programs so as to increase the clients’ commitment and desirability to demand for more sustainable construction projects.

Purpose: To determine the risk of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)-induced cough compared to non-ACEI cough among Chinese patients. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted including randomized controlled trials, case-control studies and observational studies that compared ACEI treatment with control treatment in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global. The studies which contained: Chinese population, ACEI, non-ACEI, and indications for the treatment of ACEI were included. The pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to compare the relative risk of cough between ACEIs and non-ACEI drugs based on the events of reported cough in each study. Results: Eleven randomized controlled trials were included with a total of 1815 patients. The total number of cough events in ACEI treatment was 101 in 930 patients (11%) and 20 in 885 patients (2%) in the Non-ACEI treatment. The pooled RR was 5.16 (95% CI: 3.39-7.85) under fixed model. The discontinuation number of single ACEI treatment due to coughing side effect was 21 and the withdrawal rate was 4.13%. Only two patients discontinued non-ACEIs treatment due to the intolerable cough and the withdrawal rate was 0.34%. The overall RR of withdrawal related to cough was 7.06 (95% CI: 2.49-20.04). Conclusions: The pooled risk of the incidence of ACEI-induced cough was about five times higher than that of non-ACEI-induced cough in Chinese population. The risk of withdrawal events related to cough in the single ACEI treatment was seven times of that in the non-ACEI treatment.
Knowledge and behavior of consumers towards the non-prescription purchase of antibiotics: An insight from a qualitative study from New Delhi, India

Published: March 2021

Background: In Low-and Middle-Income Countries, including India, consumers often purchase antibiotics over-the-counter (OTC) from retail pharmacies. This practice leads to the inappropriate use of antibiotics in the community which is an important driver for the development of antimicrobial resistance. A better understanding of consumers’ views towards this grave public health concern is critical to developing evidence-based intervention programs for awareness among the general population.

Objective: To explore knowledge, practice and, behavior of consumers towards antibiotics, antibiotic use, antimicrobial resistance, purchasing behavior of consumers for antibiotics, and to gain insight which will help in developing evidence-based policy interventions.

Methods: 72 in-depth consumer interviews were conducted in all 11 districts of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results:  Our study found that retail pharmacies were the first point of consultation for common ailments for patients/consumers once home remedies failed; they were largely unaware of the threat of antimicrobial resistance. Consumers’ knowledge of antibiotic use and about antimicrobial resistance was low, they used old prescriptions, and bought antibiotics OTC to save time and money.  Despite the presence of regulations constituted to regulate the sale of antibiotics by the Government and the implementation of national campaigns, the practice of self-medication and behaviors such as OTC purchase, non-adherence to prescribed antibiotics was prevalent. Consumers perceive that antibiotics provide quick relief and accelerate the curing process and retail pharmacy shops try to protect their retail business interests by honoring old prescriptions and self-medication for antibiotics.

Conclusions: The lack of awareness and insufficient knowledge about what antibiotics are and issues such as antimicrobial resistance or antibiotic resistance resulted in misuse of antibiotics by consumers. Limited access to public healthcare and affordability of private healthcare are factors that contribute towards the self-medication/OTC purchase of antibiotics. The regular misuse of antibiotics through irrational use reinforces the need for strong enactment of strategies like continuous community awareness campaigns. Mitigation efforts should focus upon educating consumers continuously and sustainably for the understanding of antibiotic misuse, antimicrobial resistance, and promote better compliance with regulations.
