Cinderella’s Family Tree. A Phylomemetic Case Study of ATU 510/511
Authors: Sakamoto Martini Gessica , Kendal Jeremy , Tehrani Jamshid Johari
Published: July 2023

This case study contributes to recent attempts to apply “phylomemetic” methods derived from computational biology to oral traditions, where the aim is to trace the mutation and diversification of folk narratives as they get passed on from generation to generation and spread from society to society. Our study focuses on one of the most famous and widespread tales in the folktale record: Cinderella. Thousands of Cinderella-like stories have been documented from around the world, which folklorists have attempted to classify into different “types” representing distinct, though related, international traditions. The most comprehensive of Cinderella typologies was developed by Anna Birgitta Rooth (1951), who divided the tales into five principal types: A, B, AB, BI and C, and suggested several hypotheses pertaining to their origins and relationships to one another. Here, we test Rooth’s theories on a sample of 266 versions of Cinderella using Bayesian phylogenetic inference, phylogenetic networks (NeighborNet) and a model-based clustering method that was originally designed to elicit population structure from multi-locus genotype data (implemented in the program STRUCTURE). Our results find varying levels of support for the types identified by Rooth, and suggest that mixing among traditions was widespread, especially in Type AB tales. Despite these complexities, it was still possible to delineate and quantify the influence of distinct ancestral sources on the variation observed in contemporary versions of Cinderella. Our study highlights the value and versatility of phylomemetic methods in uncovering the historical relationships among types and sub-types of international folktale, as well as the evolutionary processes that have shaped them.
Application scenario evaluation of modified converter for quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC: taking the constant off time control mode as an example
Authors: Fan Jing , Kang Ming
Published: July 2023

In recent years, due to the energy crisis and serious environmental problems, the use and development of new energy has become the focus of research. Therefore, the application of new energy technologies has increased the demand for direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converters. The improvement of converter capability effectively enhances the functions of DC-DC converters, which makes it easy for secondary converters to meet the requirements of voltage gain, and expands the input voltage range of DC-DC converters, thereby having a good prospect in new energy applications. However, due to the many drawbacks of the quadratic Boost converter, such as pressure rise limitation, high switching stress, in order to reduce the working pressure of the improved quadratic Boost high gain converter and improve its operating performance, it is necessary to optimize it. Based on the application scenario of an modified converter for quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC, and taking the constant off time control method as an example, this paper conducted research to accurately recognize the current status of the converter and improve the utilization efficiency of the converter. In this paper, four groups of traditional converters and two types of improved quadratic Boost high gain DC-DC converters were selected as experimental objects for comparative analysis of images and data. The results showed that the conversion efficiency of the constant off time control method in the modified DC-DC converter based on quadratic high gain was 7.03 % higher than that of the traditional converter, while also improving the conversion efficiency of voltage gain and reducing switching stress, with higher safety. This indicated that the improved DC-DC converter with secondary high gain has better effects and wider application scenarios, thereby better serving new energy systems.

Published: July 2023

In this study, four typical fragrance types of rapeseed oils were investigated under short-term frying of French fries and heating processes. Volatile flavor profiles, aroma compounds, and sensory attributes were evaluated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography–olfactory (GC-O), and sensory evaluation. The examination showed 140 volatiles, 28 aroma compounds, as well as 8 sensory attributes were detected. Aldehydes, nitriles, and acids were principal groups in unheated delicate fragrance rapeseed oil (DFRO) and refined rapeseed oil (RRO), as well as nitriles, acids, and heterocycles in unheated strong fragrance rapeseed oil (SFRO) and umami fragrance rapeseed oil (UFRO). During heating process, the total amount of volatiles had significant increases in DFRO and RRO, whereas it was the opposite in SFRO and UFRO. Aldehyde became the most predominant group, with significant increases under thermal treatments. Compared with heated oils, most volatiles presented lower contents in fried oils. Among the volatiles, 24 compounds were formed during heating process and 6 compounds were detected solely in fried oils. Among 8 sensory attributes, the deep-fried flavor attribute was formed in thermal-treated oils. According to the statistical analysis, remarkable differences were observed among unheated and thermal-treated samples, and the differences were diminished under thermal treatments, especially frying process; however, fried SFRO and DFRO still showed obvious distinctions with the others in flavor profiles.
On the verb-raising analysis of non-constituent coordination in Japanese
Authors: Kobayashi Ryoichiro
Published: July 2023

This study argues against the verb-raising analysis of Japanese Non-Constituent Coordination (NCC), and consequently supports an alternative analysis with no recourse to verb movement in Narrow Syntax. I show that the verb-raising analysis under-generates regarding VP-fronting in Japanese. Furthermore, I point out that this analysis makes wrong predictions about the scope between heads and elements inside NCC. I conclude that there is no syntactic V-to-T-to-C verb-raising in Japanese NCC.

Exploring the Neural Processes behind Narrative Engagement: An EEG Study
Authors: Dini Hossein , Simonetti Aline , Bruni Luis Emilio
Published: July 2023

Past cognitive neuroscience studies using naturalistic stimuli have considered narratives holistically and focused on cognitive processes. In this study, we incorporated the narrative structure, the dramatic arc, as an object of investigation, to examine how engagement levels fluctuate across a narrative-aligned dramatic arc. We explored the possibility of predicting self-reported engagement ratings from neural activity and investigated the idiosyncratic effects of each phase of the dramatic arc on brain responses as well as the relationship between engagement and brain responses. We presented a movie excerpt following the six-phase narrative arc structure to female and male participants while collecting EEG signals. We then asked this group of participants to recall the excerpt, another group to segment the video based on the dramatic arc model, and a third to rate their engagement levels while watching the movie. The results showed that the self-reported engagement ratings followed the pattern of the narrative dramatic arc. Moreover, while EEG amplitude could not predict group-averaged engagement ratings, other features comprising dynamic intersubject correlation (dISC), including certain frequency bands, dynamic functional connectivity patterns and graph features were able to achieve this. Furthermore, neural activity in the last two phases of the dramatic arc significantly predicted engagement patterns. This study is the first to explore the cognitive processes behind the dramatic arc and its phases. By demonstrating how neural activity predicts self-reported engagement, which itself aligns with the narrative structure, this study provides insights on the interrelationships between narrative structure, neural responses, and viewer engagement.

Published: July 2023

Efflux of antibacterial compounds is a major mechanism for developing antimicrobial resistance. In the Gram‐positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, QacA, a 14 transmembrane helix containing major facilitator superfamily antiporter, mediates proton‐coupled efflux of mono and divalent cationic antibacterial compounds. In this study, we report the cryo‐EM structure of QacA, with a single mutation D411N that improves homogeneity and retains efflux activity against divalent cationic compounds like dequalinium and chlorhexidine. The structure of substrate‐free QacA, complexed to two single‐domain camelid antibodies, was elucidated to a resolution of 3.6 Å. The structure displays an outward‐open conformation with an extracellular helical hairpin loop (EL7) between transmembrane helices 13 and 14, which is conserved in a subset of DHA2 transporters. Removal of the EL7 hairpin loop or disrupting the interface formed between EL7 and EL1 compromises efflux activity. Chimeric constructs of QacA with a helical hairpin and EL1 grafted from other DHA2 members, LfrA and SmvA, restore activity in the EL7 deleted QacA revealing the allosteric and vital role of EL7 hairpin in antibacterial efflux in QacA and related members.

Heat treatment’s effect on properties of polystyrene from building demolitions
Authors: Foti Dafni , Amiandamhen Stephen O. , Fernando Dinesh , Letoffe Adrien , Adamopoulos Stergios
Published: July 2023

Polystyrene (PS) is a synthetic polymer widely used as a packaging material and in thermal insulation of buildings. At end-of-life, there are not many recycling management options of PS because of the reduced incentive and high cost. PS is non-biodegradable, and consequently, the disposal of this product causes serious health and environmental concerns. This study discusses the application of thermal treatment to modify the properties of PS waste foams. Both expanded and extended polystyrene were collected from building demolitions and subjected to different temperature treatments and duration. The effect of the treatment was investigated on the density, structure, glass transition temperature, mechanical properties (hardness, compression strength), thermal conductivity, and sound absorption of treated PS. The results showed that density increased with treatment temperature, which had a corresponding effect on the evaluated properties. The study concluded that thermal treatment is a beneficial way to improve the mechanical properties of PS waste from buildings. However, a trade-off between application and relevance still needs to be ascertained, as the thermal and acoustic insulation properties of PS decreased with the treatment.

Authors: Patel Hardik , Gupte Akshaya , Gupte Shilpa
Published: July 2023

The production of laccase by an indigenous strain of Pleurotus ostreatus HP-1 was studied on solid state fermentation. Culture parameters such as type and concentration of substrate, inoculum size, moisture content, pH, surfactant presence, temperature, and nitrogen source were optimized by conventional “one factor at a time” methodology. A maximum laccase yield of 3952 U g-1 of dry substrate optimized was obtained with wheat straw as substrate with five agar plugs as the inoculum, 60% moisture content, pH 5.0, surfactant concentration 0.015 gl-1, and nitrogen source (combination of L-asparagine and NH4NO3 at 10 mM concentration each) at incubation temperature 28oC. Enhancement in laccase activity was achieved with the use of various aromatic inducers and copper sulphate. Highest laccase activity of 14189 U g-1 of dry substrate was achieved using 0.28 mM copper sulphate under optimized conditions. Thus, the indigenous isolate seems to be a potential producer of laccase using SSF and can be exploited for further biotechnological applications. The process also promises economic utilization and value addition of agro-residues.

Pago con acciones liberadas influye en la capacidad económica de los accionistas minoritarios
Authors: Torre Padilla Abdias Armando
Published: July 2023

La presente investigación analiza cómo el pago de dividendos mediante acciones liberadas por parte de las empresas en la Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) afecta negativamente la capacidad económica de los accionistas minoritarios durante el período 2009-2016, política de dividendos adoptada por las empresas que les han perjudicado económicamente, situación ocasionada por la distribución de acciones liberadas y no de dividendos en efectivo. Tal preocupación se justifica porque los accionistas esperaban un retorno en efectivo de su inversión, ya que ven a los dividendos como su fuente natural de ingresos, lo que implica tener fondos en efectivo que estarían disponibles cuando los necesitaran y lo que sucedió fue que les entregaron acciones liberadas y no recibieron efectivo. La solución pasa por reorientar el modelo de política de dividendos, el pago de dividendos mediante acciones liberadas al pago de dividendos en efectivo para así evitar que se siga afectando a su capacidad económica. La evidencia obtenida brinda información sobre las acciones liberadas que se entregan a los accionistas e incluso el análisis realizado a través de indicadores puede servir de modelo. Finalmente, se comprobó que el pago de dividendos mediante acciones liberadas influye negativamente sobre la capacidad económica de los accionistas minoritarios.

Published: July 2023

An accurate assessment of intravascular volume status in hemodialysis (HD) patients presents a significant challenge. Current clinical practices to determine dry weight is flawed due to interobserver variability and nonreproducibility. This miscalculation results in either chronic hypervolemia or hypovolemia with intra or interdialytic hypotension. The quest for noninvasive volume assessment tools to aid in the estimation of dry weight still continues. This study aims at goal-directed ultrafiltration removal compared with clinical dry-weight assessment in achieving euvolemic status of patients on chronic HD. It is a prospective, single-centered, nonrandomized, noninvasive interventional study on HD patients, for 12 months. Fifty two patients participated out of which 46 completed the study. Ultrasound-guided inferior vena cava collapsing index (IVCCI) and B lines were measured at intervals along with cardiac parameters. Dry weight was first estimated clinically by trial and error method. New dry weight target was set when B-lines were less than four in the eight site lung ultrasound and IVCCI between 50 and 75%, after 30 min post dialysis. Approximately 23.9% of the patients did not require dry-weight modification throughout the study. About 19% patients did not achieve dry weight in spite of all interventions. Overall, 56.5% of the patients achieved dry weight during the study period. A total of 46.3% of patients with NYHA Grade 3 dyspnoea observed at the start of study was reduced to 2.2%, showing statistical significance. Clinical assessment when bundled with noninvasive technology of assessment of dry weight showed encouraging results. B-lines and IVCCI estimation could be additional tools to achieve target weight goals, reducing complications and increasing compliance.

Published: July 2023

At approximately 5:00 AM on December 16, 2016, a rapid and deep-seated landslide was triggered by intense rainfall in the Van Hoi irrigation reservoir in Binh Dinh province, Vietnam. The landslide generated an impulsive wave with a height of approximately 20 m, resulting in severe damage to the reservoir operation station. This study investigated the mechanisms behind the landslide's initiation and simulated its initiation and motion processes through site surveys, ring shear tests, and the LS-RAPID simulation model. The physical tests were conducted on two soil samples from the sliding zone to examine the landslide mechanism. The results indicated that only sample 2 (a sand sample of completely weathered gneiss rock) showed a high level of landslide mobility due to its liquefaction phenomena resulting in a rapid pore water pressure development and a significant strength loss.

In contrast, sample 1 (a silty sand sample of residual soils) did not exhibit this behavior due to its high shear resistance value at a steady state. The findings suggest that the sliding plane of the Van Hoi landslide formed in the completely weathered gneiss layer, and the high mobility level of sample 2 is primarily responsible for its rapid movement. Notably, the LS-RAPID model successfully reproduced the landslide process using the geotechnical properties obtained in the ring shear experiments. The simulation showed that the Van Hoi deep-seated landslide was initiated from the lower middle slope at a critical value of 0.55 for the pore water pressure ratio and traveled at a high velocity of approximately 37.0 m/s. The consistency between the computer simulation results and the on-site evidence and recorded data highlights the reliability of the LS-RAPID model as a tool for assessing landslide hazards.

Published: July 2023

The results of the research on the functional properties of waxy wheat flour, obtained from the spring waxy wheat grain of the Biskvitna variety, adapted for agro-climatic conditions of the Kharkiv region, in comparison with white wheat flour, are presented. It is found that waxy wheat flour contains 16.8% less raw gluten than the reference sample, the gluten is 18.8% less elastic and 21.4% more stretchy, has a light gray color and can be attributed to the II group of quality. Waxy wheat flour has a 1.8 times higher water-holding capacity, its starch begins to gelatinize at a lower temperature, while the maximum viscosity of the waxy wheat flour starch paste is almost 1.6 times higher than that of the reference sample. It is established that falling number of waxy wheat flour is only 68 s that more than 5 times lower than that one of wheat flour. The model dough system prepared from the waxy wheat flour has a 6.9% better lifting power in comparison to the system prepared from the wheat flour. Baking tests for sponge cakes, biscuits, fruitcakes and muffins with the substitution 25.0 to 75.0% of white flour to waxy wheat flour was performed. With an increasing of the dosage of waxy wheat flour a tendency of the increasing of the dough stickiness in all samples tested was observed. The baked goods tested were distinguished by good quality indicators, although in fruitcakes and muffins with a dosage of waxy wheat flour of more than 50.0%, the formation of large gas cells unevenly distributed in the crumb was noticed. Addition of 25.0% of waxy wheat flour causes an increase of the specific volume and porosity of sponge cakes by 11.1 and 9.3% respectively. With a further increase in the dosage of waxy wheat flour, the specific volume and porosity of the samples tested are verging to the reference sample. All samples of fruitcakes and muffins were not differ significantly in terms of specific volume and porosity. According to the results of the research conducted, it is suggested to use waxy wheat flour, obtained from the grain of Biskvitna variety, for the production of sponge cakes and biscuits in an amount of up to 75.0%, for fruitcakes and muffins - in an amount of up to 25.0% instead of wheat flour.

Published: July 2023

Modern winemaking in Ukraine is being significantly transformed and is actively developing. Our state has now turned to the search for its own wines and grape varieties. For international recognition, it is important to develop your case of wines that will be able to show the diversity of wine regions from Southern Bessarabia and the Northern Black Sea Coast to Transcarpathia. There are more and more small winemakers who are experimenting with new varieties, such as Sukholimansky white, Citronny Magaracha, Zagrei, Johanniter, Zvalgate, Solaris, Aromatny, Telti Kuruk and various muscat varieties. The organoleptic profile of such wines should express the varietal characteristics of local grape varieties and the agro-climatic features of the terroir. At the same time, the modern technology of white table wines should be built on the principles of maximum preservation of varietal aroma and minimization of its oxidation during the technological process. The article reflects the results of theoretical studies of literary sources regarding the mechanisms of oxidative processes of various nature in the process of grape processing; the market of modern preparations for stabilizing wine materials is considered. According to the goal, the influence of the use of the enzyme preparation Viazim clarif one on the process of clarifying the wort was investigated.  The effect of complex antioxidant pasting of wort with the stepwise application of "Tanal W4", "Polygreen" and "Granula" bentonite on aromatic compounds and the formation of the aromatic profile of the finished product was also studied. At the last stage of research, the organoleptic profile of white wine materials of the studied grape varieties was determined. It was established that the general trend of stabilization processes in modern winemaking is transferred to the wort stage. According to the results of practical tests, in the form of trial pastes of wort, it is proposed to use the enzyme preparation "Viazim clarif one" at the stage of extracting wort; the effect of complex antioxidant pasting of wort with stepwise application of "Tanal W4", "Polygreen" and "Granula" bentonite was studied. Practical recommendations have been developed for winemakers on the application of antioxidant wort pasting for domestic grape varieties Sukholimansky white and Citronny Magaracha, which are now gaining popularity in Ukraine.

The clinical stage included 63 patients out of 219 who underwent KT at Botkin Moscow City Clinical Hospital between July 2018 and August 2022. The inclusion criteria were kidneys from donation after brain death (DBD) donors with expanded criteria or kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, and an SWI time greater than 45 minutes. The first group consisted of 24 recipients operated on using the new SWI elimination device. The second retrospective control group consisted of 39 patients where sterile ice bags were used at the implantation stage. The groups had no statistically significant differences in the main recipient and donor characteristics, as well as in perioperative parameters. Also, from November 2021 to April 2022, 23 kidney autotransplantation experiments in female Landrace pigs were performed. The animals were cared for in accordance with the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and other Scientific Purposes (Strasbourg, 18 March 1986). Efficiency of different SWI elimination techniques was compared on two experimental models: standard donor (group 1, n = 12) and asystolic donor (group 2, n = 11).

Results. In the clinical trial group, mean graft temperature (tm) before reperfusion was statistically significantly lower in group 1 using the special SWI elimination device: 6.4 ± 1.7 °C (95% CI 3.2–8.5) versus 22.1 ± 2.3 °C (18.1–24.6), р < 0.001. The risk of delayed graft function (DGF) was 3.86 times higher (95% CI 1.11–13.43) with the standard SWI elimination technique. In the experimental group, in the subgroups using the new device (n = 12), graft tm before reperfusion was 5.1 ± 0.4 °C (95% CI 4.5–5.8), whereas in the ice bag subgroups (n = 11), tm was 29.3 ± 1.3 °C (95% CI 27.7–30.8), which was significantly higher (p < 0.001). The overall 1-week survival of the experimental animals was significantly higher in the SWI elimination device subgroup (logrank p = 0.036).

Conclusion. The developed device is effective in eliminating SWI of renal graft.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a method of creating a material object layer-by-layer in space from a virtual, mathematical model. 3D printing is based on additive technologies – a step-by-step formation of a structure by adding material to the base. 3D bioprinting is the fabrication of functional biological structures that mimic human organs and tissues. Analysis of scientific publications showed that in the near future, viable and fully functional artificial copies of individual human organs and tissues can be obtained.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do: a case study of Odebrecht and the continuum of destructiveness
Authors: Coelho Caio César
Published: July 2023

Abstract This research conducts a case study on Odebrecht, a heavy construction company, to answer the question of how an individual rationalizes crime in a corrupt organization? The study is based on the concepts of a corrupt organization, the continuum of destructiveness, moral disengagement, and rationalization. We analyze four books, artifacts on Odebrecht’s culture and videos on 49 executives that collaborated in the Car Wash corruption probe. The results describe the paths employees undertake in the organization by acquiring its internal set of values, beliefs, and assumptions. These paths lead to the rationalization of corruption. This case study shows that the continuum of destructiveness starts when employees encounter unethical behavior in the organization and that their rationalization mechanism changes with time in the corrupt culture. At any point, executives can quit or blow the whistle; however, with time, it becomes more challenging to exercise either of the options. By applying and refining the continuum, this research provides an understanding of how moral disengagement and rationalization to help employees to progress in the continuum in a corrupt culture.
Financiamento climático: eficácia institucional do Fundo Nacional sobre Mudança do Clima
Authors: Lopes Ariane Cristina Cordeiro Gazzi , Albuquerque Andrei Aparecido de
Published: July 2023

Resumo Atualmente há amplo consenso científico sobre a emergência climática. As organizações públicas têm intensificado ações de mitigação e adaptação, conduzindo financiamentos climáticos por meio de fundos nacionais do clima. Em 2009, foi instituído no Brasil o Fundo Nacional sobre Mudança do Clima (FNMC). As análises sobre financiamento climático se intensificaram a partir de 2020, mas ainda há poucos estudos empíricos documentando as experiências sobre esses fundos. Este artigo contribui para essa lacuna, analisando a eficácia institucional do FNMC mediante pesquisa documental, no período de 2009 a 2020, considerando 21 indicadores distribuídos em cinco dimensões. Identificar quais são os principais desafios para a eficácia institucional do FNMC é importante, pois a sua capacidade e continuidade colaboram com as metas internacionais assumidas pelo Brasil para redução de Gases de Efeito Estufa (GEE) e fortalecem os estudos e investimentos em projetos sobre mudança do clima. Os resultados revelam grande fragilidade na eficácia institucional do FNMC, visto que, nenhuma dimensão tem atendimento satisfatório em todos os seus indicadores, sendo a mobilização de recursos e sustentabilidade o principal desafio para o FNMC.
Transferências fundo a fundo: coordenação e cooperação federativa na segurança pública do Brasil

Published: July 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a realização de transferências fundo a fundo e avaliar se ela tem contribuído para a coordenação e cooperação federativa de políticas voltadas à segurança pública no Brasil. Para tanto, o trabalho foi dividido em três etapas: (i) levantamento dos valores do Fundo Nacional de Segurança Pública (FNSP), destinados aos estados e ao Distrito Federal, no período de 2000 a 2022, antes e depois da adoção das transferências fundo a fundo; (ii) realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas para levantar as percepções dos gestores responsáveis pela elaboração e coordenação do processo de descentralização e pelo acompanhamento da execução dos recursos descentralizados; e (iii) análise dos mecanismos de coordenação/cooperação previstos nos planos de aplicação elaborados pelos estados no período supracitado. Os achados da pesquisa confirmam resultados de estudos anteriores sobre o poder de indução das transferências fundo a fundo na cooperação e coordenação de políticas nacionais, também para a área de segurança pública. Verificou-se que a ampliação de recursos e a obrigatoriedade de seu compartilhamento com os estados favoreceram o alinhamento das políticas estaduais às diretrizes estabelecidas pela União, mas que ainda é incipiente a interação entre os órgãos, organizações e membros da sociedade em relação ao tema.
Fund-to-fund transfers: federative coordination and cooperation in public security in Brazil

Abstract This article aims to analyze whether fund-to-fund transfers have contributed to federal coordination and cooperation of policies aimed at public security in Brazil. To this end, the work was divided into three stages: (i) Survey of National Public Security Fund amounts allocated to the states and the Federal District in the period from 2000 to 2022, before and after the adoption of fund-to-fund transfers; (ii) Conducting semi-structured interviews to raise the perceptions of managers responsible for preparing and coordinating the decentralization process and monitoring the execution of decentralized resources; and (iii) Analysis of the Coordination/Cooperation mechanisms foreseen in the Application Plans prepared by the states in the period. The research findings confirm the results of previous studies on the induction power of fund-to-fund transfers in the cooperation and coordination of national policies for public security. It was verified that the expansion of resources and the obligatoriness of their sharing with the states favored the alignment of state policies with the guidelines established by the Union but that the interaction between bodies, organizations, and members of society on the subject is still incipient.
Profile of the agreements signed by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security with subnational entities in Brazil (2008-2022)

Published: July 2023

Abstract Based on the discussion about public policy instruments and studies on public security policies in Brazil, this article aims to analyze the profile of voluntary transfers of Union budget resources concluded through the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) with subnational entities in the period from 2008 to 2022. The research adopted documentary analysis and content analysis on public access data extracted from the Mais Brasil Platform. It was identified that the agreements dialogue with the paradigm of public security focused on violence prevention. Also, the study showed that the states of the Brazilian Southeast and South regions are the largest beneficiaries of voluntary transfers from MJSP and that the National Congress became the primary funder of agreements over time. The study concludes that the federal government must improve resource distribution to equitably supply the territory.

Published: July 2023

Abstract The aim of the present study was to identify grape parent varieties that lead to greater frequency of seedless genotypes in the progenies and to understand the relationships between the seedless trait and other fruit traits. A group of 200 hybrids (F1) originating from 38 crosses among cultivars of Vitis vinifera L. and interspecific hybrids were evaluated in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil, over six consecutive crop seasons (2018 to 2021). The progenies were placed in three classes based on seedlessness: completely seedless (class 1), seed traces or soft seeds (class 2), and with seeds (class 3). The mean dry matter of the seeds in each class was 0 mg, 2.3 mg, and 25.7 mg respectively, which corresponded to 40 genotypes (20%) in class 1, 52 genotypes (26%) in class 2, and 108 (54%) in class 3. The interspecific cross ‘BRS Isis’ and ‘Marroo Seedless’ stood out through favoring high frequency of seedless individuals in the progeny (47.5%). The traits associated with berry size (length, diameter, and weight) had high positive correlations with each other. The results obtained make an important contribution for table grape breeding aiming at the development of new table grape cultivars.
