Examination of cross-reactivity among Trypanosoma evansi, Theileria annulata and Babesia bigemina by Te-mAB-LAT and PCR
Authors: Reema Reema , Chaudhri S S , Singh A
Published: February 2024

Blood and serum samples from 55 crossbred cows detected positive for haemoprotozoan infections (T. evansi-11, T. annulata- 23 and B. bigemina- 21) on examination of stained blood smears were collected and stored for T. evansi antigen detection monoclonal antibody- based latex agglutination test (Te-mAb-LAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Trypanosoma evansi mAb-LAT revealed circulating antigens in serum samples of 18 animals, including 11 confirmed positive for T. evansi, 3 confirmed positive for T. annulata and 4 confirmed positive for B. bigemina. The DNA fragments of the size 227 bp, 175 bp and 721 bp were amplified by PCR assays using specific primers for evansi, B. bigemina and T. annulata, respectively. The animals confirmed positive by stained smear examination for specific haemoprotozoa (T. evansi/ B. bigemina/ T. annulata) were also positive with specific PCR assay (T. evansi, Te- PCR/ B. bigemina, Bb-PCR/ T. annulata, Ta-PCR). The Te-PCR was observed free from any cross-reactivity with annulata/ B. bigemina whereas Ta-PCR revealed 5 of 21 B. bigemina infected samples positive for T. annulata and Bb-PCR detected 1 out of 11 T.evansi infected samples and 12 of 23 T. annulata infected samples positive for bigemina. It indicated that some of the animals had mixed infections of T. annulata and B. bigemina which is a common occurrence due to mixed infection of their vectors feeding on animals. Secondly, it was possible to have missed detection of low level of infection on microscopic examination of the stained blood smears.
The detection of circulating antigens in 7 blood samples (3 of T. annulata and 4 of B. bigemina infected animals) with Te-mAb-LAT, without their detection by Te-PCR was possibly due to previous exposure of these animals with evansi and subsequent treatment with trypanocidal drug. It is inferred that Te-mAb-LAT, being simple to perform, rapid, convenient and cost-effective could be quite suitable for diagnosis of trypanosomosis at field level and PCR being sensitive and specific has its utility at the laboratory level.

Authors: Singh Tarunbir , Amarpal Amarpal , Kinjavdekar P , Aithal H P , Pawde A M
Published: February 2024

A retrospective study was conducted on 142 male goats suffering from obstructive urolithiasis to identify common microbes responsible for urinary tract infections and their effect on urinary pH and crystalluria. Culture and isolation of the urine samples were performed in 72 cases, which showed UTI in 69.44% cases with microbes like Escherichia coli, Alkigenes faecalis and Pseudomonas, to be the most common. The isolated microbes showed high sensitivity for ciprofloxacin and piperacillin. Positive correlation was recorded between urinary pH and urinary tract infection suggesting that urinary tract infection may lead to alkalization of urine. Urine pH affected the type of crystalluria and suggested that alkaline pH of urine may favour struvite calculi formation in goats. It was concluded that urinary tract infection may be an important factor in the formation of urinary stones in goats and should be given due consideration while planning preventive and control measures for urolithiasis in goats.

Published: February 2024

During solar eclipse, unusual disturbances in the circadian rhythm affects the metabolism of animals through change in their biological clock. Therefore, the present study was designed to know the effects of solar eclipse on certain serum biochemicals of goats under intensive and extensive housing systems. Experiment was started from 19 July 2009 (control) to study the effects of solar eclipse (22July 2009). Adult goats (24) of both sexes were divided into 4 groups of male and female, viz. group1 (male extensive), group 2 (female extensive), group 3 (male intensive), and group 4 (female intensive). They were provided ration and water ad lib. during entire period of investigation. All the experimental goats were housed in extensive (groups 1 and 2) and intensive (groups 3 and 4) housing system to know the protective effect of different housing during solar eclipse. Daily (19–23 July 2009), we collected blood samples for analysis of serum T3, T4, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Ca, and P. After solar eclipse (23 July 2009), TSH level was significantly increased in group 3. Serum ALT activity was significantly low in group1 on day of solar eclipse and end of experiment, whereas low activity of ALT was recorded in group 3 and4 at the end of experiment. Interestingly, high level of Ca in group 3 as well as ALP in group1 and 3 was recorded on solar eclipse day and was persistent till the end of experiment. However, serum T3 was significantly decreased in group 3 on solar eclipse day at the end of experiment. These findings are interesting and noticable in contest of observation on certain serum biochemical profile of goats during solar eclipse under different housing systems, which require further exploration.

Authors: Patil S S , Hemadri D , Sreekala K , Veeresh H , Chandranaik B M , Prabhudas K
Published: February 2024

Two bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) isolates previously recovered from 2 animals showing different clinical symptoms, i.e. respiratory disease and balanoposthitis, were partially nucleotide sequenced at the gB gene. Aligned nucleotide sequences revealed high degree of identity among all the alphaherpesviruses compared in the study. The nucleotide sequence identity among the Indian isolates varied from 99–99.5% and so was their identity with reference Cooper strain. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that both the isolates belonged to subtype 1.1 despite being isolated from animals with different clinical manifestations.

Published: February 2024

The phenomenon of self-presenting behavior in terms of material or also known as contemporary showing off, namely flexing, is closely related to material and is certainly attached to individuals as a way to be recognized in various communities in the public sphere. It is a serious threat to a society that empathizes with a simple life. This article aims to provide an understanding of the correct paradigm so that flexing in biblical studies is identical to the sin of pride, can be eliminated in the community of God's people.  Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature approach, the results of this study lead to flexing causing a change in the communication paradigm in cultural linkages. Flexing is also part of controversial content in social media and as an ethical consideration, to be a valuable input for Christianity. Where ethical theological and morality views on flexing must be understood by God's people, in Christian education which is part of education and digital literacy as well as the responsibility of Christianity towards the flexing phenomenon.

Evaluation of the efficacy of the in vitro micronucleus method using a commercial kit and comparison with the microscopy method
Authors: Silveira Karine Renata Dias , Brunel Hilana dos Santos , Andrade Rosângela Vieira de
Published: February 2024

In vitro micronucleus testing is an important tool in the investigation of the genotoxic potential of products. Performing the test by the optical microscopy method requires training and attention from the technician reading the slides and can be an extremely slow process. The technique of micronucleus analysis by flow cytometry emerges as a highly complex assay that makes it possible to increase the number of analyses and reduce the time spent on experiments. Some commercial kits are sold to perform this test, however, in some cases, they can be very costly for the laboratory. This work demonstrated that the technique of micronuclei in vitro by microscopy and cytometry are equivalent and that it is also possible to optimize the use of commercial reagents to reduce costs.

The maintenance of the deciduous dentition in the oral cavity until the moment of its physiological exfoliation is extremely important, and the performance of pulp therapy is indicated when the cariogenic process is installed in a broad and advanced way, reaching the pulp tissue of the dental element. The most common treatment in these cases is pulpectomy, where the filling of primary teeth is performed using obturator pastes. The objective of this study is to review and discuss the literature on the antibiotic obturator paste based on tetracycline, chloramphenicol and zinc oxide and eugenol, called CTZ. This is a paste whose treatment does not require instrumentation of the root canals, being a procedure of tissue repair and sterilization of lesions (known as LSTR). The PubMed and Scielo databases were consulted using the keywords: "endodontic treatment" AND "LSTR". The 10 most current articles and also the articles considered most relevant were used. It has been observed that CTZ paste is not yet widely used, despite not being a new paste. Due to the practicality of the technique without instrumentation indicated for necrotic deciduous teeth, its use has grown, as well as scientific studies on it. In conclusion, the technique of using the CTZ paste is very effective, conferring great advantage in the treatment of non-cooperative patients, as it is easy, simple, and can be performed in a single session, presenting antibacterial power.

Authors: R. Ivanović Aleksandar , Totić Mirza
Published: February 2024

The paper emphasizes the importance of a very important legal instrument, the European arrest warrant (EAW), which came into force in the European Union (EU) in 2004. The main objective of this paper is to perceive from the legal and historical aspects the importance and role of the legal acts that regulate the issue of extradition and the effects of legislative activity by which the latter is implemented. Forasmuch as the manner of functioning of extradition of accused and convicted persons the paper explicitly elaborates the main reasons and justification for the introduction of the European arrest warrant (EAW), the instrument that has greatly simplified the former extremely complicated system of extradition. Also, it has significantly shortened the period of time necessary for the extradition of a particular person, but also has established a higher level of cooperation between the Member States of the European Union (EU). The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) has justifiably acquired the status of an effective legal instrument. In order to offer better explanations the paper presents concrete case studies and relevant statistics, including the offenses which require the mandatory reasons for issuing, the exact number of issued warrants in the past and the containing elements.
Comparing Islam with other Late Antique Religions: Examining Theological Parallels with Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Manichaeism
Authors: Nakissa Aria
Published: February 2024

This article argues that Islamic theological doctrines emerged out of broad late antique religious trends. Such trends were reflected in Judaism and Christianity, but also transcended them. In support of this view, the article systematically examines parallels between Islamic theological doctrines, and those found in the late antique religions of Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Manichaeism. It is argued that all of these religions share six basic doctrines: (1) belief in one morally-concerned Supreme Being (2) belief in lesser spirit beings that are good or bad (3) belief in prophets (4) belief in scriptural texts (5) belief in an afterlife (6) belief that the world will end with the triumph of good over evil. It is argued that the preceding six doctrines coherently fit together into a larger perspective on the universe. The article explains how this perspective is central to late antique religions, including Islam.
Born or Made: Weighing Up Nature vs Nurture Complexities in Choosing Islamic Boarding School Leaders
Authors: Supriyono Supriyono , Rahmah Tazkia Aulia , Hermansyah Eka
Published: February 2024

One fundamentally plagued debate on leadership is whether leaders are born or made: nature vs nurture. Existing studies have either supported or opposed each of the arguments. Yet the literature that discusses this topic in the educational context is still limited. Despite the condition, an interesting tradition has been practiced within Indonesia’s Islamic boarding schools—colloquially known as pesantren—where in appointing its leaders, most of them depend on heredity. This study aims to garner the responses of pesantren future leaders about the hereditary leadership system in pesantren, focusing on perception, reflection and projection inquiries. This phenomenological study relies on in-depth interviews to collect the data, whilst employing triangulation of the data sources with three pesantren future leaders in East and Central Java. The findings show that by weighing up the positive and negative implications of the pesantren’s hereditary leadership, converging it with the meritocratic system appears to be salutary, given it ticks all the boxes of three human developmental facets: physical (leadership gen), cognitive (intellectual ability) and socio-emotional (moral integrity). In this regard, the hereditary-meritocratic convergence system could help pesantren run its leadership selection with both nature (intrinsic) and nurture (extrinsic) deliberations, as supported by the Western-secular and Islamic scientific discourses. Yet, despite the positive outcome, it also leaves a critical question on the side of the meritocratic system on why meritocracy dismisses genetic considerations given studies have proved that leadership is indeed influenced by both genetics and environment. The findings call for further investigation on the hereditary-meritocratic convergence system in choosing school leaders—especially in the pesantren context—that despite the meritocracy, heredity, too, could be a pivotal cogitation.

Published: February 2024

Transportation facilities and means have developed very rapidly and become the basic needs of the community from time to time. This development ultimately requires the availability of capable and adequate transportation facilities and infrastructure in the form of the availability of good facilities.  In general, the movement of the number of flight passengers at Sultan Hasanudin Airport tends not to be stationary on average because in certain times the movement forms an uptrend pattern. In addition, the number of flight passengers at Sultan Hasanudin Airport has an irregular pattern with varying increases and decreases. To forecast fluctuations in the number of flight passengers at Sultan Hasanudin Airport in the coming period, it can be done by time series analysis. The Triple Exponential Smoothing method or commonly referred to as Winter Exponential Smoothing is one of the Time Series methods that is suitable for handling seasonal data such as the number of domestic passengers at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport Makassar. The analysis step of the Triple Exponential Smoothing method is model identification, parameter estimation by trial and error, then is the calculation of the initial value of data smoothing, trends, and seasonality with a length of one season L = 12 and the last is to calculate the error value using MAPE and RMSE. The best model is obtained from a combination of parameters α = 0.9; β = 0,1; and γ=0.1 which results in the smallest forecasting error using RMSE with a value of 56,674.56 and MAPE with a value of 56,674.56. Using a forecasting model:

So the forecasting results are obtained that look close and not too far from the previous year's data so that it can be used as a reference for the management of the aircraft company to make the right decisions and anticipate a surge in the number of passengers.

Authors: Laia Restu Damai , Zagoto Impiani
Published: February 2024

A comparison/contrast paragraph can be organized into two ways known point-by-point, and block model. The most of fifth semester students of English department at Nias Raya University, however, prefer to organize their writing with block model. The reasons for choosing the model were the purposes of this research. This research was carried out by using qualitative descriptive. The data were obtained through unstructured questionnaire. The result of this research showed that there are three reasons of the students in using block model in organizing the comparison/contrast paragraph; the first is easier to be organized; the next is good for the shorter paragraph; and the last is the similarities or differences between the compared subjects is understood easily. Hence, block organization for a comparison/contrast paragraph is the easiest way for the students to construct their paragraph to be interested writing rather than other style. Therefore, this information can be a consideration for the lecturer in teaching the type of the paragraph.

Carl Blechen und die Bausteine einer neuen Kunst
Authors: Heck Kilian
Published: February 2024

Der Lebensweg des Berliner Landschaftsmalers Carl Blechen (1798–1840), der mit nur 41 Jahren infolge einer psychischen Erkrankung starb, hat die Forschung zu vielgestaltigen Deutungen seiner Gemälde und Zeichnungen angeregt. Kilian Heck geht in seiner Studie jedoch zunächst nicht von Blechens psychischer Befindlichkeit aus, sondern er untersucht unter anderem Verfahren der Bildprojektion und deren Nutzen für Blechens neuartigen Bildaufbau. Blechens Bildern haftet oft etwas Bühnenartiges an, das auf seine Zeit als Kulissenmaler zurückgeht: Es gibt meist keine zentrale Bildfigur, stattdessen werden oftmals wie Augen wirkende schwarze Löcher ins Bild gesetzt, helle Torbögen oder andere abstrahierende Elemente, die durch rhythmische und ornamentale Wiederholungen das Bildfeld zerdehnen. Zugleich wird Blechen häufig selbst in den Bildern präsent, wenn er sich etwa als Mönch abbildet, ohne sich dabei direkt zu porträtieren. Anhand von Gemälden und Zeichnungen aller Schaffensperioden diskutiert Kilian Heck die alte Frage der Kunstgeschichte, inwieweit ein Bild überhaupt dazu in der Lage ist, die gesehene Welt zu fixieren und Wirklichkeit wiederzugeben. So gelingt es ihm, neues Licht auf das beeindruckende Werk Blechens und seine noch immer unterschätzte Rolle innerhalb der Kunstgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts zu werfen.
Pflichten und Haftung des faktischen Geschäftsführers bei der GmbH
Authors: Langer Christoph
Published: February 2024

The managing director entered in the company register is not always responsible for the practical handling and decision-making within a company. The actual masterminds can also be shareholders or completely external persons. The term "de facto managing director" has become established for this phenomenon. In principle, this person is liable alongside the formally appointed managing director, creating an additional liability addressee. The aim of this work is to analyse the question of the conditions under which it is possible to speak of de facto management and what liability consequences can be derived from this. This book is therefore primarily aimed at entrepreneurs and legal advisors.
Die Reduzierung der Verbandsgeldbuße im Bußgeldverfahren der BaFin

Authors: Straub Claudius
Published: February 2024

The dissertation examines the compatibility of the settlement procedure practiced by BaFin with the applicable law on administrative offenses and looks comparatively at the advantages of the Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) established in the U.S. and the U.K. to show an alternative to the embedding of settlements in the law on administrative offenses. This topic is important both against the background of the discussion about the creation of a law on sanctions for associations and for the question of whether one should continue to be guided by the principle of establishing the truth ex officio or whether a turn to the practice of prosecution agreements prevailing in the Anglo-Saxon world should be preferred.
Architektur und Staatsbildung
Authors: Rochow Frank
Published: February 2024

Eine interdisziplinäre Analyse von Aushandlungsprozessen staatlicher Herrschaft am Beispiel des habsburgischen Befestigungsbaus in Galizien nach 1848. Die Revolution von 1848/49 stellte die Habsburgermonarchie vor existentielle Herausforderungen. Nur mit militärischer Gewalt konnte dieser Staat zusammengehalten und die habsburgische Herrschaft im Inneren gesichert werden. Die folgenden Jahre waren gekennzeichnet von einer überragenden Stellung des Militärs und einer umfassenden Modernisierung des habsburgischen Staates. Frank Rochow zeigt an Fallstudien zu Lemberg und Krakau, dass Befestigungsbauten nicht nur Ausdruck, sondern auch ein wesentliches Instrument zur Umsetzung dieses Prozesses waren. Über die detaillierte Analyse der Planungs- und Realisierungsgeschichte der Bauprojekte arbeitet er die Mechanismen heraus, mit denen der habsburgische Staat versuchte, sein Territorium gegen polnische Unabhängigkeitsbestrebungen zu behaupten und flächendeckend zu durchdringen. Die Unzulänglichkeiten des habsburgischen Verwaltungsapparates und die Herausforderungen durch lokale Akteur:innen setzten diesem Herrschaftsanspruch jedoch Grenzen, deren genauer Verlauf in der Interaktion vor Ort immer wieder neu ausgehandelt wurde. Daraus ergibt sich ein dynamisches Bild staatlicher Herrschaft zu einem kritischen Zeitpunkt des habsburgischen Staatsbildungsprozesses.

In the essays in this book, the author traces structures of time as a factor in shaping choreographies. How do concepts and bodily experiences of temporality intertwine in the production, performance and perception of a dance piece? And in what way is the tension between ephemerality and duration, between past and future, the basis and expressive form of dance practice? In this book, theories and philosophies of time are read from the process of dance, with the persistence of historical reflection and the layering of history stored in archives and cultural memory being key concepts in its analysis. The author focuses on dance and choreography in modernism and contemporary dance.
Impending Crises

Over the last few decades, increased production of films and series that have fantastical structures has been observed, especially in Romance language-speaking countries and the US. A renewed boom in the genre is thus apparent in those nations which had already been at the epicentre of the production of fantastic narratives in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the contemporary works convey a latent ontological uncertainty that arises from unusual handling of language, images and sound. The articles in this book examine the question of whether and how images, sounds and dialogues in fantastic films/series—and, sometimes, novels—that have gone off the rails can be interpreted as allegorical counterparts of contemporary thinking in society which has also gone awry.

Background: Continuous advancements in ultrasound (US)-guided neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) have allowed the safe and successful use of these blocks as adjuvants to general anesthesia in pediatric patients. Objectives: This study was designed to compare the analgesic efficacy of 2 US-guided regional techniques, caudal epidural block (CEB) and subgluteal sciatic nerve block (SNB), in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: The current randomized comparative study was conducted on 30 patients with spastic CP aged 2-12 years who were scheduled for unilateral lower limb multilevel soft tissue corrective surgeries, randomly distributed using a computerized program into 2 equal groups. The CEB group received a US-guided caudal block, and the SNB group received a US subgluteal sciatic nerve block. The time to the first postoperative analgesia requirement (primary outcome), postoperative pain score, total postoperative analgesic consumption, and perioperative complications (secondary outcomes) were assessed in both groups. Results: The duration of postoperative analgesia was significantly longer in patients of the SNB (14.65 ± 3.08 h) than in the CEB group (5.93 ± 1.68 h). The postoperative pain scores recorded at 6th-12th h and the postoperative 24-h rescue analgesic consumption were significantly lower in the SNB compared to the CEB group. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided subgluteal sciatic nerve block is a safe and effective alternative to US-guided caudal analgesia in pediatric patients with spastic CP scheduled for lower limb surgeries, with longer postoperative analgesia and similar perioperative safety profiles.
Quantifying the Interactions of Landuse Allocation and Coastal Zone Systems: A Conceptual Framework

Published: February 2024

This paper presents a conceptual framework for quantifying the impact of landuse on coastal zone systems from a planning perspective. The framework is validated in a coastal zone stretch in Kerala, South India. Coastal critical landuses are identified through an expert questionnaire survey, and their relationship with the Coastal Zone Health Indicator (CHI) is established using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The framework, which integrates the CHI models and the CHI Landuse Interaction Matrix (CLIM), is used to compute the changes in CHI values based on different landuse options. The proposed framework was validated using real-life landuse allocation cases in Kozhikode, Kerala, India, and the results showed that the framework could better assess and quantify landuse impacts. The framework is adaptable to different coastal contexts, and its capabilities can be enhanced by incorporating more specific algorithms. The methodology is a potential tool for decision-makers to promote better coastal sustainability by adopting appropriate governance policies and landuse planning decisions.

Extensive rhodoliths and deep-water coral has been described along the continental shelf and slope of the Campos Basin, but such environments can be highly vulnerable to the bottom trawling fishing. This study applied the MOHID software to simulate the sediment resuspension during the bottom trawling operation and to evaluate possible impacts of sediment deposition onto rhodoliths and deep-water coral. The sediment transport model was validated by field measurements of a bottom trawling operation and presented good accuracy. The results indicated that sediment resuspension by a double-rig trawling induced a 0.13 mm sediment layer deposition onto the rhodoliths from the continental shelf which has potential deleterious effects considered that such thickness is higher than the threshold proposed by the literature. On the contrary, a sediment resuspension/deposition by a single-rig trawling has no impact in the deep-water corals from the continental slope based on the thin layer deposition that was lower than the proposed tolerance limits.
Mangrove Reforestation, Protection, and Conservation Initiatives: The Case of Sorsogon Bay Rompeolas, Philippines
Authors: Soreda Cyra Mae R. , Dio Ryan V.
Published: February 2024

Mangrove losses have been observed in several parts of the world including the Philippines despite its explicit directive through Republic Act 8550 or the Philippines Fisheries Code (PHILIPPINES, 1998) in ensuring the conservation, protection, and sustained management of the country’s fishery and aquatic resources. This qualitative research made use of a case study design at Sorsogon Bay Rompeolas through observation, field visits, and interviews to describe and evaluate the milestones and challenges encountered in the mangrove reforestation and protection initiatives among volunteer stakeholders. The study found out that the post-implementation (monitoring) phase of the project was the least participated activity while the project implementation phase was the fully participated activity of the different stakeholders involved in the project. Waste pollution, unsustained participation of residents, and natural calamities are the challenges encountered by the project. The Local Government Units (LGUs) in collaboration with the concerned national authorities may adopt blended infrastructure projects with the environmental protection program in the preservation and enhancement of the current state of the coastal ecosystem for future generations.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o estágio inicial de regeneração em áreas anteriormente desmatadas e ocupadas por gado, na Floresta Ombrófila Mista Alto-Montana, no Parque Nacional de São Joaquim, Planalto Catarinense. Realizou-se o estudo em duas áreas em estágio sucessional inicial, que foram previamente inventariadas nos anos de 2014 e 2018. A amostragem em cada área foi por meio de 20 parcelas por área, de 10 x 10 m, distribuídas em transecções de 20 x 100 m. Em 2022, as áreas foram novamente inventariadas, sendo todos os indivíduos com altura ≥ 1 m e DAP < 5 cm medidos (altura) e, no caso de recrutas, identificados, quantificando-se, também, indivíduos mortos e que se tornaram adultos (≥ 5 cm). Foram obtidas a riqueza efetiva (Número de Hill) e taxas de dinâmica para os períodos de inventário (2014-2018-2022). Os resultados evidenciaram o avanço da sucessão nas áreas, em virtude do aumento da diversidade de espécies, assim como a redução da rotatividade da dinâmica. Conclui-se que o avanço da trajetória sucessional ocorre de forma a apresentar elevada heterogeneidade espaço-temporal. Quanto às populações existentes, puderam ser agrupadas em função de seus padrões de dinâmica (rápida-lenta) e capacidade de estabelecimento nas áreas (vencedoras-perdedoras).

Land sharing (Lsh) e land sparing (Lsp) são estratégias de uso do solo que apresentam diferentes potenciais para o alcance de múltiplos objetivos no processo de planejamento da paisagem, como a conservação da biodiversidade e a provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos. Por meio da realização de um estudo de caso na bacia hidrográfica do rio Saltinho em Imbaú/PR, buscou-se avaliar em que medida a aplicação dessas estratégias contribui para a conservação da biodiversidade e a manutenção da qualidade da água na bacia. A análise foi realizada a partir da comparação entre três cenários: cobertura de vegetação nativa em 2008, conformidade com a Lei n.º 12.651/12 e planejamento da vegetação na escala da bacia, de acordo com os preceitos do Lsh e do Lsp. Para cada cenário, foram calculadas as métricas de paisagem e a produção de sedimentos, com o uso de uma ferramenta de análise baseada em vetores (V-LATE) e uma ferramenta de gestão de serviços ecossistêmicos (InVEST). Nos modelos estudados, os resultados indicam que a aplicação do Lsh e Lsp contribuiu para a melhoria de métricas de paisagem e para a redução da quantidade de sedimentos exportados aos corpos hídricos, o que poderia representar efeitos positivos para a biodiversidade e qualidade da água na bacia. No entanto, esses efeitos não se mostraram diretamente proporcionais, conforme transição dos cenários analisados. Dessa forma, a exploração de diferentes configurações e proporções de usos do solo entre essas estratégias pode auxiliar a identificação de potenciais limiares para conservação da biodiversidade e provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos, e, além disso, no planejamento de paisagens agrícolas sustentáveis.
