Creating Your Festival Budget

The director of a company specialising in festival support services had just come back from a contract at London’s Hyde Park, a big outdoor event, headlined by The Eurythmics, a fashionable band at the time. “What were they like?” an excited music enthusiast asked him. “I’ve no idea,” came the droll reply, “I spent the whole evening unblocking the toilets” (Toby Short of Rock City Stage Crew, 1999).
To some, festival budgeting is a bit like that, it’s a task that seems dull boring and repetitive, but it’s also incredibly important. Doing endless budget projections – and they will keep changing – keeping a track of estimates and invoices, managing your cashflow and then counting the pennies at the end of the event is hardly glamorous. But if the finances get all blocked up or don’t flow in the right way, the smell will be pretty unpleasant and, in extreme cases you might even have to sell all your worldly possessions to sort out the mess..
Good budgeting is crucial to the long-term success of your festival and also your peace of mind. It’s not difficult, so long as you are careful and methodical. As your event grows, the financial numbers will obviously get bigger and some of the control issues get more complicated. But the principles remain the same. A growing festival will need to get the advice of an accountant, especially where tax matters are concerned.
Funding Your Festival
Authors: Kelly Paul
Published: February 2019

Every organisation needs money to get going, and this includes non-profit ventures. The reasons why they need it may vary, as may the sources. To get a venture off the ground it generally needs ‘start-up funding’, whether it be borrowing £50 off your auntie to pay for the costs of printing some flyers, or maybe setting up a limited company, or borrowing £250,000 from a bank or financial institution to open several shops and an office. Whichever it is, you will have costs. So, unless you have a large sum of cash lying idle, you will need to find a way of raising money to get things started. Another reason for needing cash is if you know your venture, be it a new festival or a community arts venture, will not generate enough box office or other earned income to cover its costs, meaning you will be making a loss from the outset. In this case, if your project meets a well-articulated social need you will be able to make a case for start-up funding and money to cover its running costs. How you make the funding approach very much depends on your festival’s ethos and its legal structure. We covered the first of these in Chapter 2 and the legal issues are covered in more detail in Chapter 6. This chapter will give you the framework that ties together your festival objectives, its legal structure and the potential funding sources as well as some of the techniques you will need for raising that all-important cash. This chapter focuses mainly on fund-raising for not-for-profit or social enterprise festivals. The principles of persuading donors or bodies like an Arts Council are not that different from those of persuading commercial investors, other than that the return you would promise commercial investors would be financial rather than social or artistic objectives. The chapter starts by looking at those differences.
Festival Operations
Authors: Kelly Paul
Published: February 2019

In our previous chapters we have covered festival planning, logistics and the different types of licensing and insurances that you might require to run your event. This chapter assumes that you now have a viable festival plan and it focusses on how you put that plan into practice in the run-up to your festival and during the festival itself. We will start by looking at the purpose and principles of operations management, then turn to the processes of getting the necessary permissions and the paperwork you will need to assemble. We will then look at the permissions you will need to run your event and how to obtain those. We will outline the sort of health and safety documentation you will need including risk assessments. We go on to cover issues of first aid, crowd management, security, staffing and communications. Our experience of these systems and processes is from the UK, and we have used that throughout this chapter. Other countries and territories will have different arrangements, but the principle that your event will probably need some form of authorisation should alert you to the importance of identifying whom you need to talk to and what factors you should consider. An Event Management Plan (EMP) is a key document enabling you to run your festival smoothly and effectively and demonstrating to others that you can do so. But the EMP, however good, will not run your festival for you. Only you and your team can do that. The success of your festival will partly be down to the quality of your planning and partly down to the effort and vigilance you put in whilst it is running. But a good EMP and a simpler Operations Plan will help you hugely to run your festival smoothly and will be a vital support if you encounter problems.
Impact Assessment Process, Measures and Methods
Authors: Getz Donald
Published: February 2019

We start with four planning or process models: one for forecasting impacts (the kind usually required by legislation for major projects); one for post-event or post-development IA; one of retrospective assessments of the impacts of events and tourism on a given state of the economy, environment or society; and another for strategic impact assessment (for policies, programmes and strategies). Figure 3.1 compares these models, with the ten steps in the forecasting model being the benchmark. Then a range of generic methods or tools are presented, all of which can be adapted for many possible applications. Most basic is the IA Matrix, generally used to break down a project into its components and identify possible impacts of each. Other generic methods include flowcharts, checklists, mapping, decision trees, scenarios, consultations, forecasting with simulations, and trend analysis. Logic and TOC models have been explained in the previous chapter. Additional methods are discussed in the ensuing chapters, more pertinent to social, cultural, ecological, built-environment or economic impacts.
Stakeholder Considerations for Residents, Communities and Cities
Authors: Niekerk Mathilda van , Getz Donald
Published: February 2019

Events, and therefore event tourism, tend to be attached to their host communities, even embedded within close and strong stakeholder networks. It is true there are many footloose events, won through bidding, or otherwise moving around the world, but a degree of dependence on place and social networks is the norm. This raises two concepts of importance: place identity and place attachment. This chapter will focus on the aspects that are important for the residents during stakeholder engagement. It will also look at the needs of the community and apply the stakeholder theory to the city and destination.
Archie Bunker ja konservatismi sarjassa Perhe on Pahin
Authors: Winberg Oscar
Published: February 2019

Archie Bunker ja konservatismi sarjassa Perhe on pahinSitcom-sarja Perhe on pahin (All in the Family) sai vuonna 1971 ensiesityksensä CBS:llä Yhdysvalloissa. Sarjasta tuli pian Amerikan katsotuin, ja se myös säilytti kyseisen asemansa viiden vuoden ajan. Sarjan päähenkilö Archie Bunkerista tuli lähes välittömästi poliittinen ikoni, ja hän alkoi representoida konservatiivisuutta 1970-luvun alun kontekstissa.Artikkeli tarkastelee 1960-luvun lopun televisiopolitiikkaa – kontekstia, johon Perhe on pahin on väistämättä sidoksissa – ja osoittaa, että Archien poliittiset käsitykset ovat liian ambivalentteja tullakseen ymmärretyiksi pelkästään konservatiivisina. Vaikka Archie on erityisesti sosiaalisiin asioihin liittyen konservatiivi, hän ei edusta konservatiivista ideologiaa. Laissez-fairelaisen talouspoliittisen ajattelun sijaan Bunker tukee niin työväenliittoja kuin hallituksen tukijärjestelmiäkin. Richard Nixonin tarkoitus luoda ”suuri konservatiivinen enemmistö” jättämällä taloudelliset periaatteet taka-alalle selittää, miksi Archie Bunker on tullut edustamaan konservatiivisuutta. Archie Bunker And Conservatism in the Series All in the FamilyIn 1971, the sitcom All in the Family premiered on CBS in the United States. The show soon became the most watched show in America, and held that position for an unprecedented five consecutive years. Archie Bunker, the main character of the show, almost instantly became a political icon and a representation of conservatism in the early 1970s.This article explores the politics of the late 1960s television, from which All in the Family emerged, and then shows how Archie’s politics on the show are too ambivalent to be described as conservative. While conservative on some issues, especially social issues, he does not align with conservative ideology. Instead of a laissez-faire attitude towards economic policy, Bunker supports both labor unions and government welfare in the form of Social Security. The efforts of Richard Nixon to deemphasize economic policy in creating a conservative majority, instead, explain the understanding of Archie as the embodiment of a new conservative majority.

The Almost Immortal Leader. President Kekkonen’s Funeral as a Ritualized Media EventWhenever a leading political figure of a nation dies, his funeral becomes a national media event. At the time of death of the Finnish President Urho Kekkonen (1956–1981), the Finnish society had already entered an era where the media had a clear role in assembling the nation and constructing and re-constructing social reality. This article examines the ritual elements through which Kekkonen as a leader symbolized the nation. It also analyzes how those elements appeared in the media material addressing his death and funeral. In the material, Kekkonen stands out as a leader beyond compare, head of the national political family, a sovereign, and a friend of the people that watches over his subjects firmly, but in a fatherly manner, protecting the nation from outside threats. To conclude, we discuss the rituals of Kekkonen’s death as a transition of power, as well as ceremonial goodbyes, representing a slow move towards a new kind of political culture.Melkein kuolematon johtaja. Presidentti Kekkosen hautajaiset rituaalisena mediatapahtumana  Kun tärkeä poliittinen johtaja ja kansakunnan ykköshahmo kuolee, tulee hänen hautajaisistaan kansallinen mediatapahtuma. Urho Kekkosen kuollessa 1986 suomalainen yhteiskunta oli siirtynyt aikaan, jolloin median rooli yhteisön kokoajana ja sosiaalisen todellisuuden rakentajana ja uusintajana oli kasvanut merkittäväksi. Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa sitä, miten tuon aikaiset mediassa esitetyt ja tuotetut kuoleman rituaalit rakensivat Kekkosen yksinvaltaisen johtajuuden kulttia osana suomalaista poliittista kulttuuria. Analysoimme sitä, minkälaisten elementtien kautta Kekkonen johtajana symboloi kansakuntaa ja miten nuo elementit tulivat esiin hänen kuolemaansa ja hautajaisiaan käsittelevässä media-aineistossa. Aineistossa Kekkonen piirtyy ylivertaiseksi johtajaksi, kansallisen poliittisen perheen päämieheksi, suvereeniksi suurmieheksi ja kansan ystäväksi, joka kaitsee alamaisiaan lujasti mutta isällisesti suojellen kansakuntaa ulkopuolisilta uhilta. Lopuksi pohdimme Kekkosen kuoleman rituaaleja vallan siirtymänä ja eräänlaisina seremoniallisina jäähyväisinä: osana hidasta siirtymää kohti toisenlaista poliittista kulttuuria.
Kekkosen matkassa. Finlandia-katsaukset suostutteluvälineenä Kekkosen ensimmäisen presidenttikauden aikana

On a Voyage with Kekkonen. Finlandia Surveys as Instruments of Persuasion during Kekkonen’s First PresidencyThis article focuses on the imagery in Finland's news coverage during Kekkonen's first term as president (1956–1962). During this term, Kekkonen was obliged to strengthen his less than distinct position both in Finland and abroad. This led to much coverage of official visits to the Soviet Union and Western countries. We interpret these ceremonial events as a resource of soft power used for persuasion. As the position of Kekkonen was at first weak, he endeavored to create an image of himself as a powerful and convincing state actor, and thus sought to cast himself as an active player in the governance of the state. Furthermore, he was able to mediate to both Finns and Western observers how the Finnish economy was led by the state. The Soviet newsreels of the time indicated how keen Finland was to follow Western science and technological development.Kekkosen matkassa. Finlandia-katsaukset suostutteluvälineenä Kekkosen ensimmäisen presidenttikauden aikana  Artikkelissa tarkastelemme Kekkosen ensimmäisen presidenttikauden (1956–1962) kuvastoa Finlandia-katsauksissa. Ensimmäisellä valtakaudellaan Kekkonen joutui rakentamaan – silloin vielä heikkoa asemaansa – niin kotimaassa kuin ulkomaillakin. Uutiskatsauksissa näytetään erityisesti valtiovierailuja Neuvostoliittoon samoin kuin läntisiin valtoihin. Tulkitsemme uutiskatsausten seremonialliset tapahtumat pehmeän vallan resursseiksi, joilla pyrittiin suostuttelemaan muita. Kekkonen vahvisti esiintymisillään aluksi heikkoa asemaansa ja pyrki luomaan uskottavaa kuvaa itsestään valtiojohdon vaikuttavana toimijana. Uutiskatsausten kautta Kekkonen saattoi välittää suomalaisille ja lännen ryhmän tarkkailijoille Suomen talouden valtiojohtoisen toimintatavan. Idälle taas katsaukset osoittivat Suomen innostuksen lännen tieteen ja teknologian kehitykseen.

Published: February 2019

Contemporary industrial production widely uses induction heating prior to the plastic deformation and heat treatment operations due to the benefits it provides in comparison with other types of heating technologies. In order to increase the efficiency of induction heating units and develop their operation mode, the research should be directed towards new design solutions in optimizing constructive parameters of inductors and control algorithms of heating processes. The main goal of the research is developing the best inductor design, which provides maximum temperature uniformity in the surface layer of the billet at the end of heating time. There has been formulated the problem of the inductor unit optimal design with respect to steel cylindrical billets, which can be solved by using the alternance method of parametric optimization of the systems with distributed parameters. Design parameters of the induction heating installation that include the geometry features and the current of power supply are considered as optimized parameters. Software package FLUX was used for developing 2D numerical model of interrelated magnetic and temperature fields in the process of induction heating to describe the system ‘induction heater - billet’. The results of numeric solution of the problem of optimal design have been analyzed.
NEURAL NETWORK ALGORITHM FOR CHOOSING METHODS OF TIME SERIES FORECASTING
Authors: Dubenko Yuri Vladimirovich , Dyshkant Evgeny Evgenyevich
Published: February 2019

The prediction unit is one of the most important components of intelligent control systems. The results of its operation influence the type of control actions generated by the system. The performance of the unit depends on the prediction methods used. The accuracy of the result of the prediction block depends on the choice of the forecasting method. Thus, uncertainty when choosing a forecasting method is a factor that has a negative impact on the reliability of the result of the prediction block and, as consequence, on the reliability of the control system as a whole. The analysis results of the work in this field suggest that the problem of choosing the best forecasting methods has been worked out mainly at the conceptual level. The disadvantages of the considered works are the lack of specifying the mechanism for implementing the proposed algorithms, as well as the potential result of their work is a wide group of prediction methods that are found optimal. In one of the considered works, the expert system is indicated as a mechanism for solving the problem, and the algorithm for modifying and updating the rules is not specified. We have proposed the algorithm based on the use of a precedent analysis method realized in artificial neural networks, which allows to solve these problems. The statistical indicators of the time series, as well as the forecast horizon are used as characteristics of the object and the forecasting task, which constitute the set of attributes of a precedent. A set of solutions to the problem are the applied prediction methods. The set of results is a general estimate of the solution calculated on the basis of the values of the optimality criteria. At the same time, estimation of the optimality of the forecasting method is performed on the basis of the criteria of accuracy and speed, which are based on the prediction error, as well as the length of time spent on obtaining the forecast. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been proved by the results of the experiment.
POLYNOMIAL METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS BY TRANSITION TO MATRIX POLYNOMIAL REPRESENTATION
Authors: Bobobekov Kurbonmurod Mullomirakovich
Published: February 2019

Polynomial methods for synthesizing linear regulators for automatic control systems with linear objects, proposed by a number of authors, including Chen, Kailath, Gaiduk, and others, along with methods of synthesis in the state space, are becoming increasingly widespread. The synthesis of multichannel regulators caused by the need to use the matrix polynomial calculus is of a special difficulty, which is aggravated by a significant increase in the dimension of the matrices during the transition from polynomial matrices to numeric ones, in which Sylvester matrices are used. Herewith, it is necessary to take into account the requirements of controllability and observability, leading to the need to check for the presence of identical roots in polynomial matrices corresponding to the numerator and denominator of the object. This leads to the requirement of a relatively prime matrix polynomial fraction, which can be significantly weakened if it is possible to include in the desired characteristic matrix of the system some zeros and poles of the object located far to the left of the imaginary axis. In calculations using numerical matrices and, consequently, using Sylvester matrices, the latter degenerate due to the lowering of the rank, which complicates the calculations. The research continues to study polynomial synthesis of multichannel regulators based on the results obtained by Chen and other researchers and presents an algorithm for the synthesis of regulators, the feature of which is the possibility of introducing additional so-called free parameters that allow additional requirements for the automatic control system. The free parameters allow to obtain strictly proper regulators, along with the proper regulators.
TO THE PROBLEM OF APPLYING WI-FI ACCESS POINTS FOR REGISTERING MOTION AT THE SITE IN THE ABSENCE OF A WI-FI MODULE
Authors: Reva Ivan Leonidovich , Bogdanov Alexey Aleksandrovich , Malakhova Ekaterina Andreevna
Published: February 2019

The article describes the problem of registration of human movement on the object and protection of the object against unauthorized access. Global Positioning System which is well proven in open field has low precision within the premises. Due to the rapid development of Wi-Fi technology and the need to organize monitoring of human motion in the protected premises, there is being developed a new approach to registering a person on site using Wi-Fi. The problem of registering unauthorized access to the object by means of Wi-Fi radio network has been considered, its strengths and weaknesses have been studied. Most organizations actively use corporative and public Wi-Fi networks and beneficially apply this well-developed infrastructure for detecting the human presence in the premises and determining their position. It has been stated that using Wi-Fi network is more profitable than installing a special access control system. The aim of the research is to develop a human motion registering system at the site protected without using a Wi-Fi-module. There have been presented experiment results of registering human motion by means of the well-developed Wi-Fi infrastructure, the experiments being conducted to analyze changes of a signal level at different positions of a single person or a number of persons in the premises. It has been inferred that the level of Wi-Fi signal changes when a person or a group of persons are present in the room, even if they don’t have a Wi-Fi-module; this fact helps register the human motion in the protected premises.

Published: February 2019

Improving the designing quality of engineering systems and accuracy of their calculations is the basis for increasing the technical and economic indicators of modern engineering. Using automated calculations during the design phase raises labour productivity and product quality. There have been discussed the stages of software implementation of engineering calculations of the natural frequency of transverse vibrations of the ship propeller shafts. The problem of determining the first natural frequency of transverse vibrations of the shaft depending on the method of its fixing has been solved. A computational scheme has been build, which presents a uniform cross-section beam based on a point elastic support with a concentrated mass at its end. Differential equations for oscillations have been derived; the method of finding the natural frequencies has been described. For proper calculating natural frequency there has been developed a sequence and its software implementation in Maple environment with application of computer algebra package. The effect of the method of fixing on natural frequency of shaft transverse vibrations has been estimated. The problem of finding natural frequency of transverse vibrations on the extended elastic stern shaft bearing has been considered. The algorithm presented in the paper serves as a basis for formalizing and automating the stage of calculating transverse vibrations and is also applicable for calculating the natural frequencies of various elements, including the shaft and the sliding bearing.
EFFECT OF WASTE ENGINE OIL ON AGEING INTENSITY IN A MARINE DIESEL ENGINE WITH HIGH BOOST
Authors: Semeniuk Liudmila Anatolievna , Tarasov Maxim Igorevich
Published: February 2019

The key directions of the oil aging process are closely interrelated with its fumes and this is once again confirmed by the motor experiment. The degree of oxidation of the engine oil subjected to identification by increasing the concentration of insoluble impurities identifies the thermo-oxidative destruction of the present hydrocarbons. The results of modeling the process of wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group of marine diesel are considered. Through the application of the theory of experiment planning, the range of minimum wear is revealed, the dependence is focused on the values of the quality indicators of the used fuels and lubricants, the engine boost and the amount of engine oil burn. The change in the values in the main directions of oil aging as a result of reducing its fumes was noted. There has been revealed engine oil burnout in which the operation of the diesel engine is accompanied by less carbon and varnish formation on its pistons and the wear rate of the elements of the cylinder-piston group, the engine oil being in excellent condition in terms of the composition of aging products. Oil aging rate is determined at each stage of trial, according to sample analysis. There is given the matrix of experiment planning, as well as results of its processing. There are established the equations usable in trunk diesel operation that help to analyze general and specific rate of motor oil ageing, the initial values being values of oil waste, properties of fuels and lubricants and engine forcing. Motor oil of М-14-Г2 grade (circulating system) has been recommended to use for efficient and durable operation of ship diesels with average and low boost. For high powered engines operating on deep refining fuels it is possible to use the following oil grades: М-14-Д2 (cl 20) и М-14-Д2 (cl 30) with high neutralizing and motor qualities.

Published: February 2019

The paper describes the main stages of the development and psychometric testing of a new psychodiagnostic tool designed to examine the personal and professional characteristics of experts in professional expert activities. The questionnaire has been drawn up because of the lack of diagnostic tools to determine the development level of expert thinking and the accompanying personal and professional qualities of an expert. At the same time, expert thinking is considered as a specific feature of an expert in the context of the subject matter of law enforcement and expert activities being a transformed specific type of legal thinking rather than a universal characteristic of a person. Besides, the research reflects data on the validity, reliability, and standardization of the technique under review. The study identifies the scope of its use and the categories of respondents that can be effectively assessed by the questionnaire.

La presencia de mujeres en cargos de elección popular se asocia a la aparición de círculos virtuosos en la medida que su desempeño ayuda a derribar estereotipos que limitan el acceso de mujeres a dichos cargos. Aquí estudiamos los círculos virtuosos de la presencia de alcaldesas en elecciones en Chile. Con datos de siete elecciones locales —indirectas (1992-2000) y directas (2004-2016)— en las 345 municipalidades del país, identificamos que, en el periodo de tres cuatrienios de elecciones indirectas, hubo 59 comunas presididas por una alcaldesa. En el periodo de elecciones directas, esas comunas eligieron más alcaldesas que el resto de las comunas del país. Asociamos que la mayor presencia de mujeres en algunas alcaldías en Chile en la actualidad se debe a la presencia de una alcaldesa en el periodo 1992-2000.

A promoção da saúde e a formação inicial do profissional de saúde: desafios e possibilidades
Authors: Loch Mathias Roberto
Published: February 2019

Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar algumas reflexões sobre a formação inicial do profissional de saúde e a necessidade da aproximação desta formação com o ideário da promoção da saúde. Busca-se apontar algumas limitaçõesdo modelo biomédicoe apresentar alguns pontos do ideário da promoção da saúde. São apresentadas e discutidas quatro estratégias que poderiam resultar em maior aproximação da formação profissional em saúde com a promoção da saúde , sendo que todas pressupõem a adoção de uma visão ampliada de saúde, a saber: necessidade de convencer e instrumentalizar professores, estudantes, trabalhadores e usuários para novas possibilidades pedagógicas e para a necessidade do trabalho interprofissional; garantir que aconteçam atividades de integração entre estudantes de diferentes áreas do conhecimento ao longo do curso de formação inicial;buscar uma maior articulação ensino e serviço desde o início do curso; e buscar desenvolver em todos os atores envolvidos a habilidade comunicativa, que é fundamental para o trabalho em equipe. Certamente, outras estratégias poderiam ser discutidas, mas acredita-se que a formação inicial dos cursos da área da saúdeteriam importantes avanços se estas estratégias fossem efetivadas.

No Brasil, os estudos sobre ácaros de penas ainda são escassos. Esses ácaros plumícolas são ectoparasitas obrigatórios, e são transmitidos por meio do contato direto entre aves, principalmente da mesma espécie, já que suas penas favorecem um habitat adequado para a sobrevivência dos ácaros. Esse trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar a ocorrência do ácaro plumícola Nymphicilichus perezae em duas calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus) atendidas em uma universidade no município de Canoinhas, Santa Catarina. As aves apresentavam prurido intenso, perda de penas acentuada e autobicamento. Após avaliadas as amostras de penas, o ácaro plumícola N. perezae foi identificado. O tratamento instituído com permetrina foi eficaz na eliminação dos ácaros. Esse ácaro foi recentemente descrito e são poucos os relatos de sua presença ocasionando sinais clínicos em calopsitas no Brasil e no mundo.

No oeste do estado de Santa Catarina, a agricultura é a atividade econômica predominante, visando à produção de milho, soja e produtos destinados à pecuária. Para manter tais produções, este setor utiliza intensamente insumos químicos, como fertilizantes e agrotóxicos, causando poluição nos ecossistemas. Dentre os resíduos químicos, os agrotóxicos são os mais tóxicos, constituídos por uma grande variedade de compostos, que afetam os organismos animais e vegetais. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a toxicidade do herbicida glifosato na concentração de 65 µg/L e o dobro desta concentração 120 µg/L, nos ovários do peixe Danio rerio. Os peixes permaneceram expostos às concentrações do herbicida glifosato por 15 dias para o cálculo do Índice Gonadossomático (IGS) e massa corporal. Para o teste de micronúcleos os peixes ficaram expostos por 3 dias às diferentes concentrações de glifosato. Não houve diferença estatística significativa na massa corporal dos grupos experimentais avaliados. Houve diferença estatística significativa (p<0,05) na massa dos ovários do grupo controle quando comparado com os grupos expostos a diferentes concentrações de glifosato. Em relação ao IGS houve diferença significativa entre as diferentes concentrações de glifosato e também em relação ao grupo controle. Porém a concentração de 120 µg/L apresentou maior diferença em relação à concentração de 65 µg/L (p<0,05). A frequência de micronúcleos e IGS dos peixes expostos ao glifosato, em ambas as concentrações, foram estatisticamente significativas em relação ao grupo controle. Portanto concluiu-se que o glifosato tem um potencial genotóxico em ambas as concentrações e pode causar danos a reprodução dos peixes.
