Published: September 2020

En los bosques y plantaciones la identificación errónea de especies de árboles en las primeras etapas de su vida puede tener efectos ecológicos y económicos devastadores. Desafortunadamente, en algunas regiones, las claves dendrológicas de especies difíciles de identificar aún no se han desarrollado. Evaluamos las características dendrológicas de cuatro especies de árboles (Delonix regia, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Peltophorum dubium) dentro del Arboretum de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias - Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (FCA-UNNE), Corrientes, Argentina. Todas las especies comparten características similares (por ejemplo, hojas) durante las etapas de crecimiento vegetativo y juveniles. Se recolectaron, fotografiaron e identificaron muestras botánicas de los árboles por especies comparando muestras con especímenes de herbario del Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (IBONE), Argentina. Nuestra descripción de cada especie se basó en las características morfológicas y organolépticas del tallo, ramas, hojas, flores, frutos, diámetro a la altura del cuello (DAC), bifurcación y estado de salud. También recopilamos información de la literatura relacionada con la distribución geográfica en Argentina, el estado de conservación y otra información ecológica relevante. Estas nuevas descripciones de especies y claves dendrológicas pueden facilitar la identificación de campo rápida y precisa para especies de árboles ecológica y económicamente importantes en etapas tempranas de vida cuando parecen ser morfológicamente similares.

Published: September 2020

El incremento de población de plagas de camu camu (Myrciaria dubia), viene afectando al 50-80 % de la fruta en plantaciones. La plaga más importante es el gorgojo del fruto (Conotrachelus dubiae), cuyo estado larval se alimenta de la semilla y origina pudrición de la pulpa. El objetivo de este estudio fue validar tecnologías para el manejo integrado del C. dubiae en plantaciones de restinga inundable. Se compararon dos tratamientos: T1=Testigo (sin MIP), 10 plantas sin ninguna practica de manejo o control. Y T2=Manejo integrado (con MIP), 10 plantas con aplicación conjunta de técnicas de control cultural, etológico y biocida. Se aplicó un diseño experimental completamente al azar, con 10 repeticiones, evaluándose el número de frutos producidos, porcentaje de frutos verdes, caídos y con daños por C. dubiae, así como el rendimiento de fruta. Se encontró ligera superioridad del tratamiento con MIP en el porcentaje de frutos dañados por C. dubiae, en estado inmaduro 2 (12,7 %), asumimos que este menor daño es por interacción de los métodos de control usados, que afectaron negativamente el ciclo de vida del C. dubiae. La etapa de mayor daño se inicia en la transición de fruto inmaduro 2 a fruto verde, alcanzando el punto máximo en fruto verde (88,7 % sin MIP y 90,1 % con MIP). El rendimiento de fruta fue superior sin MIP (15 612,3 g/pl en frutos inmaduros 2 y 648,7 g/pl en frutos verdes). La aplicación del MIP, no fue eficiente en el control del C. dubiae en suelo de restinga inundable, no favoreciendo el rendimiento de fruta del camu camu.

Streptomyces species have been an important source of bioactive secondary metabolites and clinically useful for antibiotic production, including fosfomycin, daptomycin, oxytetracycline, streptomycin, and chloramphenicol. The main objective of this study was to isolate actinomycetes, especially Streptomyces from 8 soil samples that collected from two different places, which are districts in Sulaimani governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Totally, 30 diagnostic tests were carried out for representative of isolated Streptomyces depending on the color groups. The 16Sr DNA gene was sequenced, for ten isolated test strains were amplified with 2 universal primers after extraction of genomic DNA, only 8 of them were successfully sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of 8 test strains carried out using base sequences of 16Sr DNA genes in the core genome. Four of isolated test strains were identified as a Streptomyces fulvissimus, and others were nominated as a Streptomyces anulatus. The obtained sequence data were compared with the sequence data of the closest related species in the international databases using EzTaxon Server program and (%) similarities were determined. Finally, phylogenetic analysis indicated that isolated test strains were nominated as (H001, H002, H003, and H004), which recognized members of the S. anulatus and the similarity with their type strain is 99.93%. Whereas, other four isolated test strains, including D001, D002, D003, and D004 recognized as members of the S. fulvissimus and similarity with their type strain is 100%.

Published: September 2020

It is essential to know the tooth crown size to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning to ensure the satisfactory outcome of orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to measure and compare mesiodistal crown diameter of a Kurdish sample in Erbil city with normal and different classes of malocclusion. The mesiodistal tooth width was measured by an electronic digital caliper on a total of 150 (75 males and 75 females) orthodontic models of secondary school students of different occlusal relationships (Class I normal occlusion, Class I, Class II division I, Class II division II, and Class III malocclusions). The results showed that (1) the maxillary right first molar was significantly larger than the left one and both maxillary right lateral incisors and first premolars were larger than their contralateral teeth at the level of P < 0.01. (2) Both upper and lower canine were significantly smaller in females than in males; (3) Class I malocclusion showed tendency toward larger teeth than the rest of the other occlusal categories; (4) no statistically significant differences in tooth size were found among the Class II division I, division II, and Class III malocclusions when compared to normal occlusion. In conclusion, females had smaller teeth than males and there was asymmetry between the right and left sides in tooth size and Class I malocclusion showed tendency toward larger teeth.
Comparison between Retention of Maxillary Acrylic and Nylon Denture Base Materials
Authors: Abdulkareem Hawraz S. , Salem Salem A.
Published: September 2020

Loss of teeth is a matter of great concern to majority of the people and their replacement by artificial substitutes, such as dentures, is vital to the continuance of normal life. One of the factors influence patient responses regarding their complete dentures is the quality of retention. Complete denture base is composed of heat polymerized polymethylemethacrylate (PMMA). However, this material presents limitations, particularly in terms of flexural and impact strength and patients representing allergic reaction to PMMA. Nylon denture base material could be useful alternative to PMMA, especially in the patient shows allergy to PMMA. This study was conducted to estimate the difference between retention of conventional acrylic and Valplast maxillary denture base. Ten edentulous patients (five males and five females) with an age range of 45–60 years. For each patient two maxillary dentures were constructed, one from acrylic resin and other from Valplast denture base materials. Specially designed strain gauge–measuring device was used to measure the force required to dislodge the two dentures from basal seats. Six measurements of retention of newly inserted denture base were recorded for each patient (three for maxillary acrylic denture base and three for maxillary nylon denture base). Using paired t-test, a significant improvement in retention obtained by nylon denture base materials in comparison with conventional maxillary acrylic denture base, for both male and female. The retention force that obtained for each patient does not represent the quality of retention for that patient, because we measured the retention at static state and the measurements for each patient were done at same visit of insertion.

It is essential to know dental arch dimensions to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning to ensure the satisfactory outcome of orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to measure and compare dental arch dimensions of a Kurdish sample in Erbil city with normal and different classes of malocclusion. Arch width and length were measured by an electronic digital caliper on a total of 150 orthodontic models of school students aged 16–20 years of different occlusal relationships (Class I normal occlusion, Class I, Class II division I, Class II Division II, and Class III malocclusions). The results showed that (1) girls have smaller arch parameters than boys; (2) Class II division II malocclusion showed a significantly smaller upper inter canine width, arch length, incisor molar distance, and incisor canine distance when compared to all other groups; (3) the upper inter premolar and inter molar width were significantly narrower in Class II division I malocclusion than of normal occlusions and Class III malocclusion and also narrower in Class I malocclusion than in normal occlusions for both arches; (4) the arch length was significantly longer in Class II division I when compared to Class II division II, Class I malocclusions (P < 0.01), Class III malocclusion and Class I normal occlusion (P < 0.05), and (5) no statistically significant differences were found in all the arch dimensions for Class III malocclusion when compared with the normal occlusion. In conclusion, girls had smaller arch dimension than boys and Class II Division II malocclusion showed smaller arch in all dimensions while Class II division I malocclusion revealed narrower arch width and longer arch length.

Authors: Arbili Mohamed M. , Karpuzcu Mehmed , Ali Mohammed M.
Published: September 2020

In this paper a silica fume (SF) utilized as an admixture for improving the strength characterizes of contaminated soil and create new useful soils. Compaction test and direct shear test are used to evaluate the strength properties of clean and contaminated soil. Mixing SF with contaminated soil by crude oil is a rare study carried out. The strength characterizes of clean and polluted soil with crude oil was investigated. Three amount of light crude oil is combined with soils artificially in the percentage of 3%, 6%, and 9% by dry weight. However, three portions of SFs are used in the experimental work, which are 0%, 12%, and 18%. In the compaction test, results show that optimum moisture content (OMC) decreases with increasing degree of contamination, inversely while adding SF, OMC is increased. Maximum dry density dramatically decreased with an increasing amount of SF and crude oil. The shear strength properties enhance by utilizing SF where observed that the cohesion in clean soil is increased from 25.3 to 40.3 kPa and in contaminated soil by 9% crude oil is raised from 12.3 to 18.6 kPa so that SF can be rate as a successful material to enhance the soil properties.

Published: September 2020

Overhanging tooth restorations due to environmental change of the balance between beneficial bacteria and periodontopathogens lead to periodontal breakdown. This study aim was to evaluate the periodontal status after using different techniques for amalgam overhang removal. The proximal restorations were examined clinically and then radiographically by taking bitewing radiograph. From a total of 1200 patients examined in College of Dentistry, Hawler Medical University and (Khanzad) Specialized Centre for Dentistry for presence of proximal amalgam restoration, for this interventional and prospective study, 45 patients with amalgam overhang were divided into three groups each 15 patients according to size and position of amalgam overhang each had one type of the following treatment (Refilling, Diamond Bur, EVA system) and 15 patients without amalgam overhang (control group) selected completed the trial. Clinical periodontal parameters were measured in teeth with amalgam overhang at baseline, 2 week, 1 and 3 months after removal of amalgam overhang. The results showed that the periodontal parameters showed a gradual decrease in all groups throughout the follow-up visits (except calculus index) and became a statistically significant in the 3 months follow-up following treatment (P < 0.001), with more reduction found in refilling group followed by EVA system then diamond bur group. In conclusion that it is better to replace the restoration rather than to use the other methods of treatment according to periodontal health which recorded by periodontal parameters.

Published: September 2020

This paper examines the effects of economic growth, financial development, and trade openness on the environment quality measured by CO2 emissions over the period of 1965–2014 in the case of Egypt. In this study, the series were stationary at their first difference form, and thus, a long-run model was adopted using the vector error correction model technique. The results confirm that the variables are cointegrated, indicating the long-run relationship between the variables. The empirical findings reveal a negative influence of economic growth and financial effect of the previous period of CO2 emissions, these effects are not significant in the short run. Any deviations from the long-run equilibrium return quickly, representing 59% speed of adjustment. The study proposes new policy insights into reduce CO2 emissions, especially in the long run.
What is the best soft-tissue reference plane to quantify lip change in bimaxillary protrusion cases? A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Nasar Mustafa , Ferguson Donald J. , Liaw Johnny Joung-Lin , Makki Laith , Vaid Nikhilesh R.
Published: September 2020

Objectives:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the validity of five soft-tissue profile planes to actual horizontal lower lip changes following treatment of severe bimaxillary protrusion patients with vertical maxillary excess using extra-alveolar miniscrews. The null hypothesis was no differences in the incremental changes of horizontal lower lip changes from pre-treatment to post-treatment of the five methods compared to actual changes.

Materials and Methods:

Seventy adults were treated orthodontically with extractions for bimaxillary protrusion and “gummy” smile using extra-alveolar miniscrews. Lower lip horizontal position was assessed with pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms and five commonly used soft-tissue reference lines were used to measure horizontal lower lip treatment change.

Results:

Compared to actual therapeutic lower lip horizontal retraction (4.38 mm), soft-tissue references Ricketts’ E-line (3.89 mm) and Steiner’s S-line (3.88 mm) demonstrated no statistical difference (P > 0.05) from actual change. The five profile plane measures showed moderately high to high intercorrelations among themselves, but none of them were related to the actual amount of anteroposterior lip change that occurred. None of the five soft-tissue measurements showed a statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) between subgroups with least and greatest lower lip retraction.

Conclusion:

Under conditions of maximum lower lip retraction, Rickett’s E-line and Steiner’s S-line were fair measures of horizontal lower lip change. Although actual lower lip change and soft-tissue reference plane changes were correlated poorly, intercorrelations among the five soft-tissue references planes were moderately high. None of the five soft-tissue measurements was able to discriminate (P > 0.05) between treatments with least and greatest lower lip retraction. It may be concluded that Rickett’s E-line and Steiner’s S-line soft-tissue profile references are valid when there is considerable therapeutic retraction (4+ mm) of the lower lip.

This study aims to describe the accuracy of the learning media used by students when implementing teaching practices. The purpose of the implementation is to provide provisions to students before conducting internship. This research used a descriptive approach, using purposive sampling in selecting research subjects which adjust to the research objectives. The data collection technique used a classroom observation checklist with a guttman scale conducted by the observer. With the answer choices "yes" has a score of 1 and "no" has a score of 0. Material that is applied in the implementation of teaching practice is learning English for all levels of education. From the research results obtained from five groups based on predetermined learning methods, there are two groups of methods that fall into the category of "very appropriate" namely the silentway method and the SLT method. The TPR method group is included in the "appropriate" category. The lingual audio method and the SLT method group fall into the "inappropriate" category. This is because students are more focused on the application of learning methods, so students do not use learning media at all. It can be concluded that the role of learning media is so important, because it can display the visualization of an object. So that helps in increasing understanding, especially for the introduction of new vocabulary.

Pontianak Malay is one of the languages in West Kalimantan. Study of language should be done from various linguistic approaches. One of them is pragmatics. Family 69 is a Pontianak Malay language sitcoms program. This program is broadcast by PONTV. The Malay language used in this event is a portrait of the condition of the Pontianak Malay language used in the speaker community. The problem discussed is the type and form of Pontianak Malay language directive speech in a family situation comedy 69. The approach used in this study is the pragmatic approach. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The theory used is imperative theory and speech act. The source of the data in this study is directive speech acts in the Family 69 sitcoms broadcast by PONTV. The results of the discussion note that there are six types of directives in the Pontianak Malay language directive in the Family Situation 69 comedy, namely commands, orders, invitations, prohibitions, omissions, and suggestions. The manifestation of the Pontianak Malay language directive speech in the Family Situation 69 comedy is twofold, namely direct and indirect directive speech.

The method used is a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques using literature review. The analysis show that in the Gemalaq Kemisiq comic seen that Gemalaq Kemisiq performs actions and behaviours that represent masculinity while the masculinity traits contained four characteristic namely not using female goods (no sissy stuf), being an important character ( be a big whell), being a person who has strength (be a sturdy oak), and also shows courage (give em hell).
ANTISSEMITISMO E JURISDIÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL: ANÁLISE DO CASO SIEGFRIED ELLWANGER
Authors: Santin Janaína Rigo , Abal Felipe Cittolin
Published: September 2020

Este artigo analisa a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal quanto ao pedido de habeas corpus em nome de Siegfried Ellwanger no ano de 2003. O paciente era autor e editor de várias obras de cunho antissemita e, por este motivo, foi condenado pelo crime de racismo, imprescritível e inafiançável perante o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, decisão atacada pelos impetrantes primeiramente junto ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça e, posteriormente, no Supremo Tribunal Federal. A importância da citada decisão se dá devido ao entendimento advindo acerca do crime de racismo e da possibilidade deste enquadramento em práticas de preconceito contra judeus. A decisão do caso concreto estudado pela jurisdição constitucional foi de negar o habeas corpus, mas não foi unânime, sendo possível verificar posicionamentos diversos tanto em relação à abrangência do crime de racismo quanto à interpretação do conteúdo dos livros escritos e publicados por Ellwanger. O antissemitismo é um fenômeno que perpassa séculos e a origem deste preconceito é amplamente debatida por diversos autores. O acórdão alvo do presente estudo revela a existência atual do preconceito contra as pessoas de origem hebraica e a necessidade de combate de qualquer tipo de discriminação por parte do Poder Judiciário.
UN’INDAGINE COMPARATISTICA SULLA CONFIGURAZIONE DEI REATI SESSUALI PER COLPA (GRAVE) SUI PROFILI DI CONSENSO DELLA VITTIMA
Authors: Mattheudakis Matteo L.
Published: September 2020

L’articolo sviluppa un’indagine comparatistica sui reati sessuali e perviene al riscontro di una significativa tendenza internazionale al superamento del modello coercitivo tradizionale basato su violenza e minaccia, in favore di incriminazioni incentrate semplicemente su profili di consenso della vittima. L’Autore analizza i due modelli principali di disciplina penale basata sul consenso, «no means no» e «(only) yes means yes», esprimendo preferenza per il primo, e spiega perché anche la colpa grave, in alternativa al dolo, possa rappresentare un criterio di colpevolezza adeguato a bilanciare gli interessi in gioco.
Changes in landscape composition influence the decline of a threatened woodland caribou population

Large-scale habitat loss is frequently identified with loss of biodiversity, but examples of the direct effect of habitat alterations on changes in vital rates remain rare. Quantifying and understanding the relationship between habitat composition and changes in vital rates, however, is essential for the development of effective conservation strategies. It has been suggested that the decline of woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou populations in North America is precipitated by timber harvesting that creates landscapes of early seral forests. Such habitat changes have altered the predator-prey system resulting in asymmetric predation, where predators are maintained by alternative prey (i.e. apparent competition). However, a direct link between habitat condition and caribou population declines has not been documented. We estimated survival probabilities for the threatened arboreal lichen-feeding ecotype of woodland caribou in British Columbia, Canada, at two different spatial scales. At the broader scale, observed variation in adult female survival rates among 10 distinct populations (range = 0.67-0.93) was best explained by variation in the amount of early seral stands within population ranges and population density. At the finer scale, home ranges of caribou killed by predators had lower proportions of old forest and more mid-aged forest as compared with multi-annual home ranges where caribou were alive. These results are consistent with predictions from the apparent competition hypothesis and quantify direct fitness consequences for caribou following habitat alterations. We conclude that apparent competition can cause rapid population declines and even extinction where changes in species composition occur following large scale habitat change. © 2007 The Authors.

Factors influencing variation in site fidelity of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in southeastern British Columbia
Authors: Wittmer Heiko , McLellan B , Hovey F
Published: September 2020

Where predation is a major limiting factor, it has been postulated that woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) reduce movements to minimize contact with predators and exhibit fidelity to seasonal ranges. We examined fidelity behaviour within season and among years of woodland caribou based on locations of 65 radio-collared individuals in British Columbia, Canada. We used average linear distances between all possible pairs of radiolocations of individuals to assess fidelity. Among-year interlocation distances were similar to within-season interlocation distances during summer, indicating that caribou did not shift their distribution during seasons when they were most vulnerable to predation. Among-year interlocation distances were significantly greater than within-season interlocation distances during both early winter and late winter, indicating that individual caribou shifted their distribution among winters. The amount that an individual's distribution shifted among winters varied among and within individuals over different years. During early winter this behavioural plasticity was correlated with snow accumulation, with individuals having greater interlocation distances in years with high snow accumulation. Our results indicate that site fidelity outside the calving season is unlikely solely influenced by predator avoidance. We suggest that seasonal shifts in the importance of limiting factors vary from predation in summer to food in winter. © 2006 NRC.
Dynamics of a small population of endangered huemul deer (Hippocamelus bisulcus) in Chilean Patagonia

Conservation of huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), an endangered South American deer, is hindered by a lack of quantitative information on its population dynamics. We conducted a 3-year study in Chilean Patagonia to assess the dynamics of huemul by monitoring known individuals. We fitted 55 deer of all sexage classes with either radiocollars, radio ear tags, or conventional ear tags, and identified 33 additional deer through natural marks. KaplanMeier estimates revealed that annual survival of adult females was high and stable (0•94 ± 0•07 SD), but survival of female fawns was low and variable (0•13 ± 0•18). Predation was the predominant cause of mortality for deer of all age classes. Fertility rates were lower (0•72 ± 0•20) than in other cervids of similar size. Simulations of the finite rate of increase (λ) suggest that the population is currently stable. Sensitivity analysis showed that any decrease in adult female survival would have drastic effects on λ. Consequently, management should maintain high adult survival and improve recruitment. Continued monitoring of individuals is required to provide baseline data for comparison with other populations and to inform recovery strategies of small and fragmented populations. © 2010 American Society of Mammalogists.
