Florida Native Aquatic Plants for Ornamental Water Gardens
Authors: Worden Eva C. , Sutton David L.
Published: June 2021

Water gardening is increasing in popularity in ornamental landscapes across the country. Ornamental aquatic plants can be grown in small ponds and in containers on the patio or in the yard. Many water-tight containers of many sizes and shapes are available for displaying ornamental aquatic plants. Water gardens provide additional, attractive features to landscapes not available with terrestrial plants. An aquatic plant palette of considerable variety is available for water gardens in Florida (Table 1). The abundance of sunshine and warm temperatures provides ideal growing conditions for many aquatic plant species. This document is ENH988, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Athletic Field Use Capacity
Authors: Miller Grady L.
Published: June 2021

A common question is how much play can a field withstand? There is no definitive answer to that question because field wear is influenced by so many variables. Schools and municipalities are facing increasing legal questions and liability regarding injuries associated with poorly designed, constructed, or maintained facilities. There is a struggle to accommodate all participating groups without damaging the fields. If fields are overused, then the likelihood of a player becoming injured due to poor field conditions increases. This document is ENH 991, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Giant Sweetpotato Bug, Spartocera batatas (Fabricius) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coreidae)
Authors: Halbert Susan E.
Published: June 2021

A large colony of Spartocera batatas (Fabricius) was found in late June 1995 on an Asian cultivar of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) in Homestead, Florida, by Lynn D. Howerton, environmental specialist, Division of Plant Industry (DPI). The plants were badly damaged by the insects. That collection represented the first report of S. batatas in the continental U.S. Subsequent surveys of commercial fields of sweet potatoes in the area failed to turn up any more S. batatas. However, an additional single specimen was found in Miami in early October 1995 by DPI Inspector Ramon A. Dones. Many bugs were found in suburban Miami by Julieta Brambila (University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences) in late September 1996. This document is EENY-305 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 379), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Authors: Walker Thomas J. , Moore Thomas
Published: June 2021

In Florida, cicadas are best known for their loud calls heard during the day, usually issuing from trees. Their cast nymphal skeletons are often seen on the trunks of trees or on shrubs. In much of the eastern United States, they are also known for their appearance in colossal numbers (as many as 1.5 million per acre) every 13 or 17 years. Although these periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) do not occur in Florida, they merit further discussion under Life Cycles. This document is EENY-327, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The problem of creating and using sorption materials is relevant for the practice ofmodern chemistry, biotechnology, medicine and agriculture. Knowledge of the physical and chemicallaws of the processes of carbonation, activation, as well as sorption and desorption is of particularimportance in the case of nanostructured carbon sorbent for highly effective treatment of watercontaminated with pesticides, as well as for reducing the concentration of cytokines in the bloodof patients with sepsis. It is of great practical importance to obtain adsorbents using a carbonsorbent to significantly reduce the concentrations of heavy substances, which is very important forthe Western regions of Kazakhstan. Thus, it is currently relevant to develop such sorbents thatwould have high mechanical strength and withstand high fluid pressure during operation, have alarge capacity and high wear resistance, allowing them to work for a year or more. Based on theabove, the goal of our research is to create new modified carbon sorbents for industrial use forwastewater treatment.

Cobalt is a relatively rare metal, and its rich deposits are now almost exhausted. The main sources of industrial production of metallic cobalt are copper-nickel ores containing cobalt as an impurity. The processing of these ores is very complex and involves pyro- and hydrometallurgical methods depending on the composition of the ore. The result is a solution of cobalt and nickel chlorides containing impurities of copper(II), lead(II), bismuth(III) ions. Extraction is increasingly used to purify cobalt from associated impurities. Extraction methods are widely used in hydrometallurgy, the nuclear materials industry, the technology of rare metals and the production of highly pure substances, as well as in analytical chemistry. However, despite this they have a number of drawbacks the main one is the use of fire hazardous and toxic organic solvents; therefore, the principles of eliminating toxic components from the process are becoming more common. The physicochemical basis of the extraction of cobalt (II) ions was studied by a stearic acid melt.The possibilities of practical application are considered of research results. Solid extracts of cobalt(II) were obtained with low-melting organic extractants. They meet all the requirements of standard samples: they differ in homogeneity of distribution, in similarity of composition with the analyzed samples and they can be used for several years.

Contas dos governantes, pandemia e direito financeiro emergencial: o triplo impacto na apreciação pelos tribunais de contas
Authors: Volkers Moutinho Donato
Published: June 2021

O assunto de 2020 foi a pandemia. Desde que a covid-19 foi identificada, governos direcionam esforços para a enfrentar. Restou evidente a necessidade de destinar vultosos recursos. Nesse intuito, o Congresso Nacional acionou, criou e alterou normas financeiras emergenciais com vigência restrita à calamidade. Porém, tais normas afetam como os chefes de Poder Executivo devem prestar contas referentes a 2020 e como os tribunais de contas devem apreciá-las. O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar tal impacto. Para isso, mediante pesquisa bibliográfica, notadamente na doutrina acerca das contas dos governantes, e documental, principalmente legislativa, examinam-se os efeitos dessas normas nessa apreciação. Como resultado, contribuindo-se para a adequada apreciação das contas dos governantes referentes ao ano, identificam-se normas que a impactam, sob os aspectos temático, estrutural e dos critérios. Conclui-se que, conjuntamente, a pandemia, o reconhecimento da calamidade e o direito financeiro emergencial afetam a apreciação dessas contas pelos tribunais de contas brasileiros.

Authors: Vanessa Aragão de Goes Salgueiro  , Ricardo Brito Soares  , Rodrigues Júnior Manuel Salgueiro
Published: June 2021

Desde a edição da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, os entes públicos brasileiros estão sujeitos a limitações nos gastos, entre eles, as despesas com pessoal. Entretanto, vários fatores influenciam o aumento desses gastos, como os ciclos políticos, regras fiscais rigorosas e condições socioeconômicas. Esta pesquisa investiga, além desses fatores, como a composição dos funcionários e a mudança prematura de prefeito afetam os gastos com pessoal como proporção da Receita Corrente Líquida. Para isso, a pesquisa utiliza informações dos 184 municípios do Ceará do interstício político de 2013 a 2016 e um modelo de regressão linear com dados agrupados. Os resultados apontam que a mudança prematura de prefeito e o percentual de servidores efetivos são variáveis significantes e contribuem positivamente para o aumento da despesa com pessoal. Portanto, prefeitos substitutos não tendem a implementar ajustes de despesas com pessoal; pelo contrário, adicionam ainda mais na folha de pagamento, com riscos maiores de irregularidades.

Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar o equilíbrio fiscal das capitais das unidades federativas do Brasil em tempos de pandemia. Para isso, realizou-se pesquisa descritiva e documental, com abordagem quantitativa dos dados. Para o cálculo do equilíbrio fiscal, foi utilizada a metodologia da Frente Nacional dos Prefeitos publicada no Anuário Multi Cidades 2020, que afere se o ente apresenta (des)equilíbrio em suas finanças. Os resultados revelaram que o primeiro bimestre de cada exercício financeiro apresentou maiores desequilíbrios; além disso, iniciativas impostas pela Lei Complementar nº 173/2020 colaboraram para a inexistência de alterações expressivas durante os bimestres analisados de um exercício para outro. Esses resultados fornecem evidências importantes para a literatura existente, além de serem relevantes para os diversos usuários das informações contábeis, como gestores e cidadãos.
O descompasso da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal frente às despesas de pessoal em tempos de crise financeira: os casos do estado do Rio Grande do Sul e da covid-19
Authors: Da Silva Santanna Gustavo Santanna , Scalabrin Felipe , Lopes Castanho Jadson
Published: June 2021

A Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal busca normatizar a gestão do erário, o controle e a prestação de contas públicas. Após duas décadas, porém, é preciso refletir se essa norma ainda atende às finalidades traçadas, especialmente quando surgem situações de crise financeira, ou seja, quando não há, necessariamente, um aumento de despesas, mas sim uma queda (abrupta) na receita. Para tanto, o presente artigo analisará, especificamente, as despesas de pessoal do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2015 e 2017, a partir de pareceres emitidos pelo Tribunal de Contas do Estado. Serão, também, matéria de investigação os novos instrumentos legislativos criados em razão do agravamento fiscal gerado pela covid-19. Amparando-se a uma pesquisa bibliográfica e normativa, e baseada no método dedutivo e dialético, conclui-se que as mudanças legislativas efetuadas na Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal são uma condição de possibilidade para que os administradores públicos tenham critérios mais adequados na avaliação de suas contas em tempos de crise financeira.

Background: Lead is the oldest known toxic metal, physiologically and biologically harmful to living creatures. This study aimed to evaluate the lead accumulation in the liver and breast muscles of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) and to compare concentrations in both sexes and its effect on blood biochemical factors. Methods: Twenty-four young farm Japanese quails (25 day old) prepared from local breeders in December 2014 and randomly divided into control and treatment group. Treatment group were exposed to 0.4 mg per kg diet of “Lead Acetate” for 21 days. We studied the effects of lead on survival and blood biochemical factors. The lead accumulation in the liver and breast muscles of Japanese quail was determined using atomic absorption. Results: Exposure to lead caused a significant increase in the activity of enzymes (AST), (ALT), (LDH), glucose, creatinine and uric acid in poultry treated with lead compared with the control group (P<0.05). In addition, significant decrease in the activity of ALP, AChE, total protein, albumin, globulin, and triglycerides was found (P<0.05). The treated group had no significant change in the activity of CPK and cholesterol. Lead accumulation was more in the liver rather than the breast muscle. There was no significant difference between males and females as for concentration of lead in muscle and liver of quail. Conclusion: Quail have capabilities to accumulate lead in their tissues. In addition, it can lead to apparent changes in enzymes and blood biochemical factors, which show adverse effects of heavy metals on the immune and physiological system of birds.

Background: In the current study,the hazard quotient, the hazard index (HI) and spatial variations of Fe,Mn,Cu and Cr in drinking water sources of Andimesk-Shush, Khuzestan Province, Southern Iranaquifer were assessed. Methods: We compared theconcentrations of aforementioned heavy metals in wells and springs inAndimeshk and Shush regions. The non-carcinogenic risk assessment of heavy metals was implemented usingUnited States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) index.The spatial maps in the area were developed by geostatistical methods. Results: Mean concentrations of heavy metals in groundwater sources of the study area in decreasing order was as follows: Cu >Mn> Fe> Cr. Except for iron,mean heavy metal concentrations were higher than the standard levels. Manganese concentration in 41.5% of the samples exceeded the permissible limits. Copper was higher than the safety limit in 74% of the samples, and chromium in 54% of the cases. The spatial pattern of heavy metals concentrations indicated higher concentrations in the southern parts of the region. The mean hazard quotients of most samples for the four heavy metals were lower than one, indicating that there was no immediate threat due to the exposure to these heavy metals. The calculated accumulated hazards of these heavy metals produced different results, with hazard indices of higher than one. Conclusion: The accumulated hazard indicesfor the evaluated metals were higher than one, indicating that chronic ingestion of these waters threatens the health of local consumers on the long run.

Background: Advanced oxidation processes are used to remove toxic aromatic compounds with low biodegradability, such as 2-chlorophenol. This study investigates the use of Sulfate (SO4-) and persulfate (S2O82-) radicals, as one of the advanced oxidation methods, to remove 2- chlorophenol from aquatic solutions. Materials and Methods: This experimental and pilot-scale study was carried out using two chemical batch reactors one of the reactors equipped with UV lamps and the other was on the hot plate. In Iron/ Persulfate (Fe/S2O82- ) and Ultra violet/ Persulfate (UV/S2O82- ) processes different parameters were investigated. Results: The results show that iron, UV, the initial pH of the solution, persulfate concentration have considerable effects on the elimination of 2-chlorophenol in both processes. In both processes, the maximum elimination occurred in acidic conditions. The elimination efficiency increased by increasing the concentration of 2-chlorophenol and UV intensity, and also by decreasing the concentration of persulfate and iron. Accordingly, in Iron/ persulfate and Ultra violet/ persulfate processes 2-chlorophenol was eliminated with 99.96% and 99.58% efficiencies, respectively. Conclusion: Sulfate radicals which are produced from activated persulfate ions with hot-Fe ion and UV radiation have significant impact on the removal of 2-chlorophenol. Therefore, the processes of Fe/S2O82- and UV/S2O82- can be regarded as good choices for industrial wastewater treatment plants operators in the future.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has received attention in environmental and toxicological research due to its widespread effects in biological systems. While several anti-oxidants have been used in ameliorating BPA-induced toxicities in experimental animals, there is the scarcity of research information on the use of Gallic acid (GA) in protecting against BPA-induced toxicity. This study investigated the ameliorative effect of Gallic acid in BPA-induced toxicities of the adult male Wistar rats. Methods: Thirty two adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups of eight animals each as follows: Group 1 (Control rats): 0.2 ml of corn oil; Group 2 (GA-treated rats): 20 mg/kg/day GA (dissolved in distilled water); Group 3 (BPA-treated rats): 10 mg/kg/day BPA suspended in 0.2 ml corn oil; Group 4 (BPA+GA-treated rats): BPA (10 mg/kg/day) with a concomitant GA (20 mg/kg/day). All treatments were orally administered for 14 days. Results: BPA significantly increased (P<0.05) in the values of liver function enzymes (ALP, AST, ALT, GGT), total globulin, conjugated globulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, and urea as well as sodium ions. Concomitant treatment with GA ameliorated these elevated values. Moreover, BPA-induced histopathological alterations in the liver and kidney while GA ameliorated them. Conclusion: BPA caused structural and cellular perturbations of the blood, liver, and kidney of rats while concomitant treatment with GA ameliorates the condition. Hence, GA has hepato-protective and nephroprotective actions against BPA-induced toxicity in Wistar rats.

Background: Much attention has been paid to poultry feed processing and the contamination In Iran in order to improve the production and reduce the waste. No information is available on the fungal contamination and the strains found in processed (pellet) and non-processed (mash) poultry feeds. This study was designed to determine the hygienic condition and the risk of fungal contamination affecting the quality of poultry feeds (mashed vs. pellet). Methods: A total of 90 samples of poultry feeds were collected from warehouses in Tehran and Alborz provinces. Samples were cultured on SDA, the CFUs were calculated, and the taxonomic identification of various fungal genera was made, both macroscopically and microscopically. Results: Total mould counts for mashed feeds (15×103) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than pelleted feeds (11×102). The most frequent fungal genus recovered were Fusarium spp (90%) and Aspergillus spp (70%) in mashed and pellet feeds, respectively. Conclusion: Heat processing reduced fungal contamination in poultry feeds. However, some fungal species are able to survive heat exposure and continue to form spores. We concluded that the assessment of fungal contamination in poultry feeds deserves a high attention to improve the quality, hygiene and safety of the foods originated from poultry .

Ensuring productive employment in Ukraine is associated with solving a number of important tasks: achieving sustainable functioning of the economic system and strengthening the competitiveness of the state, improving the level and quality of life, effective use of labor potential and sustainable functioning of social protection. Their solution requires the system of state regulation of the labor market to review the dominant views on state influence on the development and functioning of the labor market, modernize the mechanism of interaction of its structural elements, build a qualitatively new management system, transform labor relations. The need to find new approaches to solving the problems of labor market development and the formation of a better mechanism for its regulation in Ukraine is due to changes in the economy, lack of clear and balanced employment policy, the accumulation of serious problems in the workplace and changing the content, nature and structure of employment under the influence of modern world trends. The latest requirements and challenges of modern economic crises require the development of new adaptation mechanisms in the labor market, which require all labor market institutions to achieve their own goals and implement tools to create favorable conditions for productive employment. The article substantiates the decisive role of state regulation in ensuring productive employment and demonstrates the structure of the mechanism of state regulation of the labor market, which allowed to present it as a set of interconnected elements that ensure effective functioning of a balanced and inclusive labor market and achieving productive employment through special tools, methods and levers of influence. The basic principles of forming a modern mechanism are outlined, which play the role of methodological guidelines and reveal the content and requirements for the main actors of the labor market. The main directions of state regulation of the domestic labor market to minimize risks in the labor sphere and create favorable conditions for productive employment are proposed.

The economic potential of the country is significantly increased due to the presence of a developed credit market, constitutes a significant share of the total market, as well as the peculiarities of functioning and certain advantages over other segments. The scale, activity and efficiency of lending activities are critical to the success of every banking institution as a classic representative of financial intermediation. The successful operation of the bank requires constant work to improve its own lending activities, optimize the loan portfolio, introduce innovative mechanisms and lending instruments, expand the range of loan services and applications. Of great importance in the context of credit management is the development and implementation of the bank's own credit policy, taking into account potential opportunities, a variety of risks and factors (internal, external) that affect efficiency and effectiveness. However, due to the large number of external and internal factors environment, they need a classification that would allow a more thorough investigation and analyze their multifaceted impact on the formation of credit policy. That's it determines the relevance of the study of objective and subjective factors and their structuring by levels of the world economy. That is a set of factors that affect the lending activities of the bank formed by its external and internal environments, can be divided objective and subjective, and their analysis and consideration is a necessary prerequisite for success development and implementation of credit policy. Objective factors include those circumstances or conditions that exist recognized regardless of human will. Such factors include factors external environment and organization of the organization of the bank (a number of factors internal environment). Subjective factors include a set of factors individually personal influence of people (staff, customers, employees, etc.), their interests, beliefs, uses, value orientations that directly or indirectly affect formation of the bank's credit policy.

The formation of a sufficient amount of its income and ensuring their effective use require special attention. Currently, there are a number of problems in Ukraine, namely: political instability, threat to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country, imperfect legislation and total corruption, the state budget is the main lever that maintains at least some balance of economic processes. Thus, its high-quality and effective implementation as the main centralized fund of funds is an integral factor in ensuring not only the current economic stability, but the potential development of the state as a whole. Public authorities are annually tasked to ensure the ratio of the state budget in terms of the amount of projected expenditures with total revenues and revenues. The purpose of the study is to analyze the revenues and expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine, identify the main problems, shortcomings and proposals related to the justification and increase the efficiency of the process of formation and use of financial resources of the state. Research methods used in the work: method of logical generalization, structural method, graphical method, method of analysis, synthesis. The budget is one of the most important levers of state regulation of the economy, the impact on the economic situation, the adoption of anti-crisis measures and is an annual plan of public expenditures and sources of their financial coverage. At the same time, when making expenditures, first of all, it is necessary to proceed from the amount of revenues received and distribute them in such a way as to obtain the maximum effect and ensure proportional growth of revenue and expenditure parts of the state budget of Ukraine. Much attention should also be paid to the need to strengthen control over the movement of funds and responsibility for the inefficient use of budget resources. The expediency of making certain expenditures should be considered at the stage of budget planning, taking into account the real economic indicators and the crisis of the economy, then the budget deficit will be justified, and in the long run – reduced.

Published: June 2021

The article has examined the essence of the definition of «planning» and «audit planning». The place and importance of planning in the audit process are considered: from the standpoint of ISA and the approaches of domestic scientists, as well as in the context of the audit of intangible assets. The key requirements of ISA 300 «Planning an Audit of Financial Statements» and the possibility of their application in the audit of intangible assets are analyzed. Scientific approaches to determining the stages of audit of intangible assets are studied. As a result of the study, the stages of audit of intangible assets were identified through the projection of the general stages of the audit: preparative, intermediate, physical inspection, audit of financial statement line items, final. It is proposed to consider the audit of intangible assets from two positions: the audit of financial statements and the audit of sustainable development. Emphasis on the importance of the transition to a sustainable development audit, which also includes confirmation of non-financial indicators, is placed. The algorithm of planning the audit of intangible assets in the conditions of sustainable development is determined. The difference between the purpose and objectives of the audit of intangible assets in terms of traditional audit and audit in terms of sustainable development is demonstrated. It is proved that the accents in the development of the audit strategy and detailed plan will depend on the chosen goals and objectives. The main objects of control in the audit of intangible assets are identified. The importance of legal issues (especially protection of intellectual property rights) in the audit of intangible assets and the need for staff with appropriate qualifications is underscored. The audit strategy and plan are considered as elements of documentary evidence of the audit. Factors that slow down the implementation of the audit of sustainable development are identified. The relevance of the concept of «intangible asset audit program» is considered. It is proven that a detailed audit plan for intangible assets should take into account specific procedures, taking into account the nature of intangible assets. At the same time, formalism in drawing up a plan is unacceptable. The consistent list of audit procedures for formation of strategy and plan of audit of intangible assets in the conditions of sustainable development is outlined. It is proved that audit in the conditions of sustainable development expands the list of procedures.

Published: June 2021

Investing in cryptoassets can be tricky. At the moment, there are many different cryptocurrencies operating on different blockchains with different ecosystems. The use of cryptoassets requires defining a goal in relation to the type of cryptoassets and the degree to which their properties affect their functioning and development. In this article, the author analyzes two of the most popular and significant cryptocurrencies for the cryptoindustry Bitcoin and Ethereum on two different blockchains. The author specifically took two cryptocurrencies that are completely different in their meaning and purpose. In view of the fact that the author does not see an ideal solution to several problems, he described the need for diversification of assets by purpose of use. The author describes each cryptocurrency as a separate ecosystem with its own properties, which requires playing by the rules. The author cites socio-economic factors due to which he chose these two blockchains for analysis, tries to analyze the dependence of the properties of each cryptocurrency on the level of popularization, and gives empirical data stating the consequences in a historical context.The author also considers technical properties as a factor of scalability and attractiveness of each of the blockchains, how cryptocurrencies interact with each other, influencing the financial mood of users. The author of the article also tries to determine the technical and social factors that led to the adaptation of these cryptocurrencies to the traditional financial sector and how they depend on each other. The author describes Bitcoin as a system for saving and multiplying funds, while Ethereum sees it as an ecosystem, an intermediary protocol between already formed market sectors and decentralized applications within the network. After analyzing the results of the study, the author provides general criteria for the formation of a methodology for choosing a cryptocurrency and blockchain for conducting effective operational activities, as well as the formation of its own mechanism for managing the efficiency of cryptocurrency operations.
