Authors: Efffendy Elmeida , Mardhiyah Sarah A. , Hasanuddin Nabilah A. , Gustirani Shela
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Body image was recognized as one of the major concerns of emerging adults as well as adolescents. The resulting dissatisfaction with body image has become a more universal phenomenon. Past research in body image has generally focused on women interested in the achievement of thin ideas. Some findings suggest that problems with body image may underlie at least some social anxiety  Methods: A Cross Sectional study using 135 sales women was conducted by self-reported measures (questionnaire). Body image dissatisfaction was measured using Body shape questionnaire-34, anxiety score using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( HADS). We use Kolmogorov Smirnov test to assess the normality of the data , and Pearson correlation test to assess the correlation between BSQ-34 and HADS.  Results: The average age of our respondents were 23.57+5.657 and majority of them were graduated from high school (n=97, 72%) and are not married yet (n=109, 81%). Less than half admitted to have already worked for more than a year and we also found that most sales women in our study earned less than minimum standard wage a month (n=103, 76%). We found that all of our respondents showed BSQ-score of above 81 (82.14 + 4.530) indicating that all are slightly preoccupied with body shape concern. We also found that all respondents showed borderline anxiety score with average score of 8.20 + 3.256. Pearson correlation test showed that there is significant positive moderate strength correlation between body shape concern and anxiety severity (r = 0.413, p = 0.002).  Discussion:  This study revealed a significant positive relationship between the body shape concern and anxiety among saleswoman; our hypothesis was confirmed.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: The most common periodontal disease in developing countries is gingivitis. Gingivitis is a dental and oral health problem with a reasonably high prevalence in society at all age groups. Gingivitis is characterized by inflammation and bleeding of the gums. One way to prevent bleeding gums is to use herbal toothpaste.

AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of using betel leaf herbal toothpaste against gingivitis marginalis in Rima Jeuneu Village, Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar District.

METHODS: This study used analytical survey research with a cross-sectional design. The location for this research is Rima Jeuneu Village, District. This research was conducted from September to October 2021. Bivariate data analysis to determine the relationship between the independent variable (brushing teeth using betel herbal toothpaste) and the dependent variable (gingivitis marginalis) in this study used the Chi-square test.

RESULTS: The results of statistical analysis using the Chi-square test found that there was a significant relationship between brushing teeth using herbal betel toothpaste and gingivitis marginalized in the community ((p) = 0.000 <0.05). A survey reinforces that brushing teeth using herbal betel toothpaste has healthy gingival conditions (71.9%). The use of herbal betel toothpaste is effective in preventing gingivitis marginalis. Betel leaf toothpaste has an antibacterial effect against several types of bacteria, one of which is Streptococcus mutans.

CONCLUSION: There is a relationship between brushing teeth using herbal betel toothpaste with gingivitis marginalis in the people of Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar District. Brushing teeth using betel herbal toothpaste is effective in reducing the level of gingivitis
Building Essential Biodiversity Variable netCDFs with the ebvcube R Package
Authors: Quoß Luise , Fernández Néstor , Langer Christian , Valdez Jose , Fernández Miguel Alejandro , Pereira Henrique
Published: August 2022

The concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) was conceived to study, report, and manage biodiversity change. The EBV netCDF structure was developed in order to support publication and interoperability of biodiversity data. This standard is based on the Network Common Data Format (netCDF). Additionally, it follows the Climate and Forecast Conventions (CF, version 1.8) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD, version 1.3).

The standard allows several datacubes per netCDF file (see Fig. 1). These cubes have four dimensions: longitude, latitude, time and entity, whereby the last dimension can, for example, encompass different species or groups of species, ecosystem types or other aspects. The usage of hierarchical groups enables the coexistence of multiple EBV cubes (see Fig. 2). The first level (netCDF group) are scenarios, e.g., the modelling for different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios. The second level (netCDF group) are metrics, e.g., the percentage of protected area per pixel and its proportional loss over a certain time span per pixel. All metrics are repeated per scenario, if any are present. The result is a rather complex raster dataset (see example dataset in Fig. 3).

This is where the ebvcube R package comes into play. This R package enables scientists to create their own netCDFs in the EBV cube standard. Its functionality covers the creation, opening/reading and visualizing the EBV netCDFs. The ebvcube package is part of the overall EBV infrastructure and works together with the EBV Data Portal. Users can work with the downloaded EBV netCDFs or upload their own EBV netCDFs to the portal.

Generally, the package aims to condense the output for the users and assist in the understanding of the file structure to overcome the complexity. The output is reduced to the necessary information, e.g., not displaying coordinate variables or any technical attributes. Moreover, functionality for a quick data exploration is implemented.

Published: August 2022

The French national biodiversity data hub (“Pôle National de Données de Biodiversité” - PNDB) is a national e-infrastructure created in 2018 and led by the National Museum of Natural History, contributing to the Open Science policy of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).

PNDB contributes to building an integrative framework taking into account biodiversity over the long term (from the origins of life to future models), at all biological scales (from the molecule to the socio-ecosystem), and in all its interactions, by providing tools and services for the description, access, validation, analysis and reuse of biodiversity data.

With the diversity and complementary type of research biodiversity data (information systems, institutional data repositories, research infrastructures as observatories, experimental devices, natural history collections, etc.), but also from public policy data, the missions of the PNDB are deeply based on the FAIR approach (making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Thanks to its nomination in 2022 as a thematic reference center of the MESRI, PNDB will contribute to promoting the FAIR approach, will increase the skills (e.g., by training, good practices) of the scientific communities around open science, and stimulate interactions between producers and users of biodiversity data.

PNDB has led the French participation to GEO BON (Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network) since 2018 and recently shared the lead with public policies information system coordination. Thanks to this co-lead, this national BON proposes an innovative coordination of all biodiversity monitoring programs, from expertise to research around an innovative Essential Biodiversity Variable (EBV) operationalization pilot. This pilot is made of open practical solutions providing a particular high degree of FAIRNess of biodiversity research objects, from data to source codes. PNDB is also a major European point of contact for the DataOne network, who, in combination with the strong link between PNDB and French Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) node colleagues, allows the dissemination of all types of data through the world in the best manner!

Published: August 2022

The 2022 Marine Biological Data Mobilization Workshop was a collaborative effort between Ocean Biodiversity Information System-USA (OBIS-USA), Marine Biodiversity Observation Network, Hakai Institute, Integrated Ocean Observing System, and Ocean Tracking Network, and hosted to promote open data and software in marine biodiversity assessment. The workshop focused on the application of the Darwin Core data standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012) to extant data and the subsequent publication of data to the open access data infrastructures provided by OBIS and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. The curriculum for this workshop was modeled using The Carpentries evidence-based best practices of teaching. The materials and website are openly available via GitHub and are free for re-use or adaptation under an MIT license. Some unconventional features of the workshop included:

Much of the workshop time was allocated to breakout rooms and individual work.

The use of concurrent, topical breakout rooms led by instructors in combination with “floating” specialist volunteers.

A 100% open and free virtual workshop leveraging synchronous and asynchronous communications technologies including Slack, Zoom, and GitHub.

All instructional steps were offered in both Python and R (dual-programming language materials).

Interpreting and Georeferencing the Concept of “Near” in Locality Descriptors in Biodiversity Records
Authors: Campbell Peter , Townsend Peterson Andrew
Published: August 2022

The process of georeferencing is fundamentally a matter of spatial relationships: where is the point of interest in relation to the Prime Meridian, the Equator, the nearest landmark, etc. The process of adding geographic coordinates and uncertainty measurements to data coming from the work of others is often complicated by interpretation and subjectivity. Take for instance the description, “found near the city of Springfield", which might be assigned a coordinate pair based on the centroid of the city’s footprint. If the implication is that the subject was found around Springfield, then how close? Could this description refer to a point within the city? Is this description referring to the city limits, the farthest reaches of city mailing addresses, or the original author’s interpretation of the territory of Springfield? At present, best practices for adding coordinate uncertainty to such data records is to expand arbitrarily the boundaries of the feature (e.g., the city limits of Springfield), and use the distance from this new shape’s center to its farthest point (Zermoglio et al. 2020). In this talk, I propose a way to objectively quantify the area that can be considered “near” a given reference point. Voronoi diagrams are collections of points (or “cells”) that correspond to a single region. Any coordinate location within a given region is closer to that region’s cell than to any other cell in the diagram (Dobrin 2005). I describe possible applications of Voronoi diagrams in georeferencing sites described as “near” named places, which take into account the uneven distribution of named places across a region. I demonstrate the straightforward process of generating these diagrams using readily available open-source GIS (Geographic Information System) data and programs, and discuss both shortcomings and possible deeper-level applications of these approaches.
Vingt ans de gazoducs dans le nord de la France

L’application de la géophysique sur le canal Seine-Nord-Europe
Authors: Hulin Guillaume
Published: August 2022

Le recours à la géophysique sur les tracés linéaires n’est pas récent. Les enjeux propres à ce type d’aménagement, notamment lors du diagnostic archéologique, ont conduit, à plusieurs reprises, à expérimenter ce type d’approche non destructive avec plus ou moins de succès. La mise en perspective des expériences ayant eu lieu sur des tracés linéaires et plus particulièrement lors du projet canal Seine-Nord Europe (projet CSNE) permet d’exposer les conditions de mise en œuvre permettant d’obtenir les résultats les plus probants. Elle montre notamment que la place de la géophysique lors du diagnostic doit être considérée avec attention et se limiter à certains cas bien spécifiques. Le questionnement géophysique nécessite en effet des a priori forts sur l’objet recherché, or c’est souvent ce qui fait défaut lors de la phase de diagnostic, rendant ainsi l’étude géophysique souvent peu pertinente en regard du coût engagé. Il en est tout autrement lors de la phase de fouille où les connaissances acquises sur les sols et les entités archéologiques rencontrés permettent d’affiner les questions posées à la géophysique. L’utilisation de cet outil prend dès lors tout son sens et peut, de ce fait, s’intégrer de manière efficiente dans l’étude archéologique.
Le tramway de Dijon et l’archéologie. Topographie de la ville médiévale et moderne
Authors: Vitus Benjamin Saint-Jean
Published: August 2022

Les opérations archéologiques suscitées par les travaux associés au nouveau tramway de Dijon, de 2009 à 2012, ont renouvelé notre approche de la topographie et des aménagements urbains de la ville médiévale et moderne. Concentrées sur les parties nord et nord-ouest de l’enceinte tardive et sur leurs proches abords, elles ont aussi fourni l’occasion d’une remise à plat d’une partie du dossier documentaire. Les données recueillies concernent en grande partie les fortifications : relançant la problématique des origines de l’enceinte élargie, elles révèlent une phase de construction majeure datée du XIVe siècle et illustrent ajouts du XVe siècle et efforts de modernisation du XVIe, ainsi que la permanence de cette limite jusqu’au début du XIXe. Mais à travers la fouille des vestiges rares d’une « porte d’eau » associée à des quais et à un pont maçonnés construits au XIVe siècle, sont aussi abordées des questions d’aménagement urbain et de gestion d’un cours d’eau qui traversait la ville au Moyen Âge. A l’extérieur de l’enceinte au contraire, c’est un faubourg oublié qui a été redécouvert sous une des places principales du centre-ville actuel : détruit au début du XVIe siècle, il paraît s’être développé lui aussi au XIVe siècle, et présentait apparemment une structure et des activités bien urbaines. On soulignera enfin l’apport de ces opérations en termes de connaissance des mobiliers dans le contexte dijonnais, pour la période des XIVe-XVIe siècles essentiellement.

Engaging Users for Participating in a European Data Collection Campaign with Smartphones
Authors: Gogola Marian , Malichová Eva , Hudák Martin
Published: August 2022

Researchers worldwide require valuable data to confirm and validate their models or theories. Obtaining such data, especially concerning people's behaviour, is very difficult. Although ICT technologies can facilitate the data collection process, it is necessary to consider the right promotional and communication tools to ensure the required sample size. The paper provides evidence on users' engagement during the European data collection campaign (H2020 MoTiV project ) using the Woorti mobile application. The results show that using the mobile application to collect data does not automatically attract and engage citizens. This brings several challenges to be addressed during the data collection campaign. The study found that electronic media are not always the most effective channels to attract users to research. Direct addressing and outreach events seem to be more effective for this purpose. This case study also shows that although incentives motivate people to participate in data collection, the most crucial factor in their participation is contributing to the research.

Authors: Ma Tian , Yang Yizhou , Li Yun , Li Zhanli , Li Yuancheng
Published: August 2022

To accurately and efficiently complete tooth segmentation from a large amount of oral medical data, the burden of doctors should be reduced. An automatic seed picking method based on 2D projection of the occlusal plane was proposed. First, the authors establish a two-dimensional seed data set for tooth segmentation. Then, this article built a prediction network of teeth seeds based on YOLOv4 to realize the prediction of teeth position as well as the recognition of teeth categories. Finally, according to the statistical optimal seed position, the two-dimensional seeds are calculated and mapped back to the three-dimensional space by the reverse projection transformation method to realize the final picking up of the three-dimensional seeds. Furthermore, combined with the previous work of division line detection, the automatic segmentation of the 3D dental model was realized. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high accuracy and real-time performance, which significantly reduces the burden of human-computer interaction in dental model segmentation.
Situational Problems as a Major Factor of Inadequacy of Speaking Competency in Sri Lankan Adult ESL Learners
Authors: Jayanetti J. K. D. C. R.
Published: August 2022

The main objective of the current study was to explore the impact of situational problems i.e. poor input, low topical knowledge, lack of time for practice, lack of opportunities to practice, the inability to make constructions, and low feedback on adult English as a second language (ESL) learners in learning speaking skills at a government monitored institute of higher education. The current research was prompted by a major research done previously in the same local context on problems faced by ESL learners in learning speaking skills which revealed that cognitive and psychological problems are made worse by situational problems. This qualitative exploratory study was done with 50 adult ESL learners following the higher national diploma in English HNDE at this institute. Open questionnaires and interviews were used as the data gathering instrument of the study that followed the grounded theory. A triangulation of questionnaire data and transcripts of interview data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings confirm the existence of situational problems in the particular context and disclose the lack of time and space given to the subject speaking skills in the curriculum following unwise revisions brought to it. The main cause of students’ low speaking competence is sadly bad teaching.
Language Endangerment: A Critical Destiny of Indigenous Mother Tongues Decline in Nepal
Authors: Gyanwali Gokarna Prasad
Published: August 2022

Language is the vehicle for people to communicate socio-cultural reality which transmits culture and knowledge from one generation to another. Language and culture are intimately related and dependent on each other. Endangerment is one of the stages of language loss which is a very critical issue in the 21st century because the extinction of each language results in the irrecoverable loss of unique expression of the human experience and the culture of the world. A language is dying every time in the world which will create difficulty to understand the pattern, structure, and function of human languages, prehistory, and the maintenance of the world’s diverse ecosystems in the future. Language is thus essential for the ability to express cultural knowledge and the preservation of one is paramount to the preservation and further development of the others. It is believed that half of the world's languages will disappear within this century. In Nepal, there are 92 indigenous or minority languages out of 123 are in endangered situation. This paper describes the context and stages of language endangerment in the global and Nepalese context and indigenous language situations of Nepal.
Celebrating J.N. Findlay’s contribution to philosophy: A comparative textual analysis from a Mahāyāna Buddhist perspective
Authors: Mason Garth J.
Published: August 2022

J.N. Findlay was a South African philosopher who published from the late 1940s into the 1980s. He had a prestigious international academic career, holding many academic posts around the world. This article uses a textual comparative approach and focuses on Findlay’s Gifford Lecture at St Andrews University between 1965 and 1970. The objective of the article is to highlight the extent to which Findlay’s philosophical writings were influenced by Mahāyāna Buddhism. Although predominantly a Platonist, Findlay drew influence from Asian philosophy and religion, particularly Mahāyāna Buddhism. In these lectures, he applies the metaphor of the Platonic Cave to investigate Hegelian and Husserlian approaches to knowledge. Though he was a leading Hegel and Husserl scholar, his reading of these two philosophers is strongly influenced by Mahāyāna Buddhism, resulting in a unique mystical interpretation of these two philosophers. Revisiting Findlay’s writings is significant for two reasons; firstly, he investigated Buddhism prior to the Asian religions being included in Religious Studies departments’ purview in South African universities, and secondly, his interpretation of two prominent Western philosophers along Buddhist lines provides an early attempt at decolonising the predominance of Western philosophical views of knowledge.Contribution: This contribution forms part of a larger collection of essays investigating philosophical works that have had a significant impact on the study of religion. This contribution investigates the Buddhist influence on J.N. Findlay’s philosophical readings of Husserl and Hegel.

Mathematical Modeling of Waves in a Porous Micropolar Fibrereinforced Structure and Liquid Interface
Authors: Anya Augustine Igwebuike , Ofe Uko , Khan Aftab
Published: August 2022

The present investigation envisages on the Mathematical modeling of waves propagating in a porous micropolar fibre-reinforced structure in a half-space and liquid interface. The harmonic method of wave analysis is utilized, such that, the reflection and transmission of waves in the media were modelled and it’s equations of motion analytically derived. It was deduced that incident longitudinal wave in the solid structure yielded four reflected waves given as; quasi–P wave (qLD), quasi–SV wave, quasi–transverse microrotational (qTM) wave and a wave due to voids and one transmitted wave known as the quasi-longitudinal transmitted (qLT) wave. The phase velocity in the liquid medium is independent of angle of propagation as observed. The corresponding amplitude ratios of propagations for both reflected and transmitted waves are analytically derived by employing Snell’s law. The model would prove to be of relevance in the understanding of modeling of the behavior of propagation phenomena of waves in micropolar fibre-reinforecd machination systems resulting in solid/liquid interfaces especially in earth sciences and in particular seismology, amongst others.

Published: August 2022

The Low Cost Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) sensor's fabrication and calibration are discussed in this study. The iron core of the built LVDT measures 8 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter, while the probe is 4.5 inches long and 0.5 inches in diameter. By using a 1 cm known surface displacement to measure the voltage at 6.35 V, the performance of the LVDT was determined. The unknown surface waviness about voltage is measured using the constant of the known surface displacement from this. This sensor's performance accuracy ranges from 97.6% to 99.96%. When compared to other market sensors, the manufactured LVDT costs only about $28, which is little.

Political Behavior Of Muslim Voters In Giving Vote Of Political Support
Authors: Syawaludin Mohammad
Published: August 2022

This study determines political choices in the legislative general election in Palembang by responding to political realities that are not directly related to religious issues and the creation of voter polarization and voter subjectivity. Political relations between religion and other political instruments are considered something that does not show their identity. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative method with a phenomenological study and a political sociology approach. Followed by content and interpretive analysis, the results of this study found that Muslim citizens have three attitudes, namely; first; positive toward legislative candidates. This means that Muslims know, believe, agree with themselves as voters and vote based on the vision and mission of the legislative candidates. Both neutral attitudes know themselves as voters who care enough about the vision and mission of the legislative candidates. The third negative attitude is when the Muslim community does not know, does not believe, does not agree, and is apathetic.

However, despite the current threat of total education with key constraints in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), how drastically are TVET institutions adopting innovative planning and education governance in Bangladesh? TVET Policy actors, individuals, and relevant communities need to think of risk mitigation and resilience approaches. In general, the approach and solutions that drive towards cyber-supportive preparedness, networking, and partnership may help to tackle the emerging situation. EduTech can help towards the modern TVET system in Bangladesh with globalisation and IR 4.0 to IR 5.0. Given this context, it is more challenging to achieve the United Nations (UN) Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030. The intertwined goals of inequality, education, and poverty eradication imply nourishing the TVET sector. This paper mainly focuses on reflecting on the ongoing managerial view of the TVET sector, exploring innovative ways to strengthen the system in Bangladesh.

Introduction: Neoplasms are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, identifying trends in mortality is important for the establishment of prevention and diagnostic strategies in susceptible populations. Objective: To identify the main types of cancer in death women of reproductive ages in Chiapas, the socioeconomic factors, and mortality rates due to these causes. Materials and methods: Descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional, study, based on an analysis of national mortality databases. The universe corresponded to cancer deaths in Mexico during the period 2016-2020, the sample corresponded to cancer deaths in women in Chiapas aged 15 to 44 years in the same period. Results: 3.6% of deaths due to neoplasms in Mexico occurred in Chiapas (15,814). A total of 104 different types of cancer were registered in the state. The most frequent were malignant cervix tumors with 19.2% (n= 263), malignant breast tumor with 12.5% (n=171) and malignant stomach tumor with 9.1% (n=125). The specific mortality rate for cancer in the state in 2020 corresponded to 10.4 per 100,000 women. Conclusions: Cancer mortality at the state level has been maintained with minimal percentage differences each year (0.7%), but exceeds the projected at a national level. The most frequent types of cancer associated with deaths of women in Chiapas are cervical, breast, and stomach cancer.

Our study was conducted in Tulcea County between August 2019 and November 2021. Herpetofauna was identified in the dig-mal flood zone of the Danube River, between Grindu locality and Tulcea city and in the area ofthe Somova-Parches aquatic complex. The herpetofaunal study consisted of extensive transect surveys. The transects were made at distances that allow us to identify and monitor the target species according to the approved working methodologies. During the investigation, seven species of amphibians and three species of reptiles were identified. For each species, the status of species protection has been established in accordance with the Habitats Directive 92/43 EEC, GEO 57/2007 and the EU Status. This case study presents the distribution and abundance of species of community interest (Emys orbicularis, Bombina bombina and Triturus drobrogicus). A total of 534 individuals were identified during this period. Therefore, this study is a contribution to the knowledge of the distribution of species of Community interest in the area of ROSCI0065.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative and absolute reliability using PUSH Pro Band 2.0 IMU to measure peak velocity and power during the countermovement (CMJ) and split-squat jump (SSJ). Twenty-three resistance trained males and females completed the study.   After a familiarization session, each subject completed 2 identical sessions separated by a minimum of 72 hours that included 4 loads during the CMJ (body weight, body weight plus 20, 40 and 60%) and SSJ (body weight, body weight plus 15, 30 and 45%).  In each session, 3 repetitions were completed at each load in randomized order with 3 minutes rest between sets and 5 minutes rest between jump types.  Dumbbells held to the side were used to add load.  A waist belt was worn that contained the accelerometer. High relative (intra-class coefficient ranging from 0.86-0.99) and absolute (coefficient of variation ranging from 1.7-8.0%) reliability were found for all measures of peak velocity and power during the CMJ and SSJ.  The PUSH device produced highly reliable measures of jump performance across all loads between trials and across sessions.

Thyme (Thymus sp.), a medicinal plant of the family Lamiaceae, is used in traditional medicine, contains a wide array of medicinally active components, in their great majority of a rather complex mixture of thymol, ρ-Cymene, γ-Terpinene, β-Caryophyllen, etc. This study aimed to evaluate the efﬁcacy of Thymus vulgaris extract against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.radicis-lycopersici strain under saline conditions, assuming soil with high salt content of the arid regions. Essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation technique using a Clevenger apparatus. The essential oil compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis. Antifungal activity of essential oil against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici was investigated by agar dilution method. The main constituents of thyme essential oil were thymol (76.96 %), ρ-cymene (9.89 %) and γ-Terpinene (1.92 %). Essential oil from Thymus resented high in vitro activity, in controlling conidial germination and mycelial growth. However, the oil was significantly not active against the spore production under a salinity medium. The results showed that mycelial growth was stimulated in concentrations with 0.6 -1.5 %. In contrast, it was significantly reduced at a higher concentration (2 %). The application of NaCl caused a significant increase in the conidia production at various concentrations tested. NaCl has a minor inhibitory effect on conidial germination only when the concentration was 2 %. The results of this study indicate that salinity decreases the efficacy of essential oil against the pathogen.
Land use change and fire in Amazonia: impacts on invertebrates and their ecosystem functions
Authors:   , Ribeiro Vanessa Soares
Published: August 2022

Anthropic disturbances such as land-use change and forest fires are responsible for modifying natural landscape structure. In the Southern part of the Amazon basin, changes in landscape structure due to anthropic actions occur intensely. In this region, the conversion of natural forests to agricultural lands and the increase of fires, either accidental or not, are responsible for modifying environmental characteristics. Changes in environmental characteristics are responsible for changes in the structure of communities and, consequently, altering ecosystem functions and services provided by different organisms. Invertebrates promote several ecosystem functions, such as secondary seed dispersal, nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. In this thesis, I investigated how anthropic disturbances in southern Amazonia affect ecosystem functions performed by different invertebrate groups. In the first chapter, I investigated how conversion of forests to agriculture alter ecosystem functions performed by ants and dung beetles in riparian forests. I evaluated predation promoted by ants, seed dispersal by ants and dung beetles, and dung removal in forested and cropland catchments. I showed that both groups suffered changes in species composition, but only in ants these changes altered ecosystem functions (seed dispersal). In the second chapter, I investigated the role of termites to organic matter decomposition in burned forests to understand which mechanisms explain possible variations in this ecosystem function. I showed increase in termite abundance, decrease of termite predation by ants, accompanied by increase in organic matter decomposition in burned forests. I concluded that anthropic disturbances altered ecosystem functions performed by invertebrates after anthropic disturbances, and these functions are an important factor for maintenance of forests and biodiversity.
