Los padres de la Iglesia, la imprenta naciente y su influencia en la teología española
Authors: García García Jorge Armando
Published: November 2022

Este artículo pretende moverse sobre dos grandes polos del siglo XVI: la teología espiritual a la batuta de España y la incursión de la imprenta y su contribución a la ciencia teológica de la época. En la primera parte del artículo se analizan las circunstancias que repercutieron en el desarrollo de la teología posterior al encuentro de los dos mundos. El énfasis es en la teología espiritual que será ama y señora de estos años y que encontrará en España su ambiente más propicio, pues incluso los Reyes Católicos se consideran enviados del Espíritu Santo, no solo para recomponer a España, sino para salvar la Iglesia que estaba perdiendo fuerza y credibilidad. La segunda parte describe cómo la naciente imprenta logra catapultar la teología y las ideas espirituales a través de tres grandes trabajos: la difusión de los padres de la Iglesia, la Biblia y el Breviario. La hermenéutica histórico-crítica en la que se basa este estudio recurrió al análisis de fuentes que brindaron información acerca de la espiritualidad del siglo XVI, centrada en España, y la incidencia de la imprenta en los trabajos teológicos. Se concluye, entonces, que la espiritualidad de este tiempo, influenciada por el humanismo que invitaba a volver a las fuentes, tuvo que recurrir a los santos padres; antes, sus manuscritos pertenecían solo a personajes o comunidades religiosas, pero con la impresión –aunque costosa–, se propagaron con mayor amplitud, enriqueciendo la vida de oración, lo que se atestigua en la enorme difusión del Breviario.
La educación inclusiva en la prosocialidad desde una perspectiva de la diversidad
Authors: Hurtado Maya Alexandra , Montoya Martínez Martha Doris , Valencia López Ángela María , Calzada Londoño Genny Alejandra
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo de investigación sintetiza un estudio que permite identificar en la actualidad y desde la evolución del ordenamiento jurídico, los avances, los retos y las problemáticas que aún persisten en materia de atención a la diversidad, donde se advierten acciones, lenguajes y sentidos que obstaculizan la construcción de escenarios de educación inclusiva para la apuesta de un desarrollo humano desde las potencialidades y no desde el déficit. Por tal razón, se plantea la pregunta: ¿cuál es la influencia de la prosocialidad a partir de una perspectiva de la diversidad en la educación inclusiva? Así, el objetivo general pretende identificar las diferentes reflexiones que surgieron por parte de los niños y las niñas acerca de la prosocialidad y su influencia en la educación inclusiva en una institución educativa de la ciudad de Pereira. La investigación se desarrolló como un estudio cualitativo de corte hermenéutico y comprensivo, en el cual se usó la técnica del laboratorio de experiencias vitales, empleando instrumentos como las entrevistas, el diario de campo y los cuestionarios. De este modo, se buscó definir la aceptación por el otro como característica fundamental para entender la inclusión en el aula y cómo es el reconocimiento antes y después de ingresar a una institución inclusiva. Finalmente, se concluye con la necesidad de potenciar la identificación y la aceptación, siendo una condición inherente al ser humano, fortaleciendo el derecho a ser diferente, aceptado y respetado por su entorno social y educativo, aspectos que fortalecen la prosocialidad y que potencian, en ámbitos educativos, la apuesta a la atención desde la diversidad.
Karol Wojtyla y la revisión de la derrota de los valores espirituales
Authors: Martínez-Jurado Juan-Carlos
Published: November 2022

A lo largo de toda su vida intelectual, el filósofo polaco Karol Wojtyla realizó estudios variados. Este artículo hace una revisión del capítulo catorce de la primera parte de la obra Mi visión del hombre, que se titula “¿Qué es la ascética?”. En este, Wojtyla (1997) inició una serie de análisis introductorios sobre la ética: el significado del deber, la postura frente al placer, qué es la ascética, entre otros. La presente investigación se centra en cinco aspectos: (1) las diferencias entre los valores espirituales, materiales y religiosos; (2) las emociones a la luz de la axiología; (3) las tres formas del autoconocimiento para defender los valores espirituales; (4) la utilidad y el utilitarismo; y (5) los valores vividos desde la ascética. Todo lo anterior aplicando un método antropológico-filosófico, el cual permitió concluir que la atracción de los valores materiales es más fuerte que un valor espiritual, aun siendo este último objetivamente superior.
Influence of environmental management accounting practices on the environmental sustainability of South African cement and mining companies
Authors: Nyahuna Thomas , Swanepoel Matthys
Published: November 2022

Most companies in emerging economies need to be more conscious of environmental initiatives such as environmental management accounting practices (EMAP) that can effectively improve environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of EMAP on the environmental sustainability of listed South African cement and mining companies. To achieve the aim of the study, 45 Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed cement and mining companies were sampled based on data extracted from the annual integrated reports, financial statements, environmental and sustainability reports from 2012 to 2021. IBM SPSS Statistics 24 was used to analyze the relationship between EMAP and environmental sustainability. The results show that two environmental sustainability proxies, water consumption and recycled water, are significantly and positively related to EMAP. However, carbon emissions (p < .061) insignificantly influence environmental sustainability. This suggests that some EMAP used by the sampled companies are inadequate to amplify environmental sustainability. The paper is essential to provide empirical evidence that managers of the cement and mining companies in South Africa need to devise better and new EMAP to reduce carbon emissions.

Published: November 2022

The research on improving production efficiency and reducing labor cost by reducing production CWS is the focus of notebook computer manufacturing enterprises. This research breaks the traditional method of reducing CWS at the production end and chooses to find breakthroughs from the whole life cycle of products. Finally, innovatively based on product lean design, and from the product design side, explore the optimization opportunity to reduce the CWS value of product production, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing CWS. Firstly, laptop model S is selected as the research object, and its structure disassembly and analysis, assembly action research and station sequencing were carried out to preliminarily determine the product production process. According to the production bottleneck process time, the current CT of the production line was determined to be 13S, and the initial CWS value of the production line was calculated to be 0.2167. Then, based on the principles of lean product design, the CONN of FAN, Battery, Speaker and RCT are optimized to make their assembly easier. The SSD fixation method, I/O BKT and I/O modular design are optimized to eliminate the need for auxiliary BKT assembly. In addition, Center Hook and WLAN were integrated on MB, and their assembly was cancelled, so that the design of the optimized parts was more integrated and modular. Then, the optimized product was rearranged for production. The CWS value of the optimized product was 0.1589, which decreased by 27 % compared with that before optimization.
Dynamics of a three-mass system with cubic nonlinearity and that of an equivalent electrical circuit
Authors: Nikishins Vladimirs , Grinevichs Ivans , Scukins Igors
Published: November 2022

The paper considers the reaction of a mechanical system of three masses connected by springs and absorbers moving in the longitudinal direction to the action of a harmonic force applied to the largest mass. This mass is attached to the base by a spring with cubic nonlinearity, while smaller masses are connected to the main mass by linear springs. A method is proposed for obtaining the amplitude-frequency characteristic (AFC) of a nonlinear system from the AFC sequence of linearized systems. The results of modelling an equivalent electrical circuit, which is an analogue of a mechanical system, are presented. The influence of the value of the nonlinearity coefficient on the dynamic response of systems has been studied. It is noted that for some combinations of values of the system parameters with cubic nonlinearity with mass ratios m1:m2:m3 = 4:2:1, the AFC contains outer and inner isolated areas – islands.

In Liberia, access to safe water is not universal, and waterborne diseases like diarrhea run rampant. As part of a larger border-to-border clean water project in Liberia, hollow membrane fiber filters were distributed to households in remote and/or small villages across Liberia. While filter efficacy has been demonstrated in the laboratory, studies of filter efficacy in real-world settings yield more mixed results. Intervention efficacy in Liberia was evaluated by assessing (1) user ability to correctly filter and backwash and (2) filter functioning at follow-up visits approximately 2 and 8 weeks post-intervention. Ultimately, the results supported the efficacy of this intervention. At arrival of both follow-ups, over 95% of filters were functioning properly and the majority of issues were resolved during visits. This supported the short-term durability of the filters and the importance of follow-up visits for repairs. Furthermore, the vast majority of households were able to correctly demonstrate filtering and backwashing: 88.47% at the first follow-up and 91.79% at the second. This slight increase may indicate the value of follow-up visits as educational tools. The widescale distribution of point-of-use filters as a mechanism for clean water should include on-going education and affordable filter repair and replacement opportunities.

Published: November 2022

Investigation of the quality of drinking water was carried out aiming to evaluate health risks and toxicity arising from the content of heavy metals. Samples were analysed for the content of Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe, Zn, Al, and Mn. Water quality and health risk assessment were evaluated by comparing the obtained data with current National, EU, and WHO regulations as well as by using the hazard quotient and cancer risk (HQ and CR). Results showed that Al (in one sample) and Ni (in five samples) exceeded the maximum allowed limits. Based on the metal pollution index, MPI, it was concluded that none of the samples exhibited ‘very good quality’ (MPI > 0.3), whereas the overall quality of Glina bottled water was classified as toxic to humans and Trebeshina as moderately toxic. Selected samples exhibited no evident health risk to humans (HQ < 1). Among the toxic metals analysed, Ni, Cd, and Cr exhibited higher values of cancer risk index (CR > 10−4), whereas Pb exhibited the lowest value. Bottled water such as Qafeshtama, Lajthiza, Tepelena, Dukat, Spring, Living, and Aqua Pana as well as tap water collected in the area of Student's City in Tirana can be considered safe for human consumption.

Published: November 2022

Staphylococcus aureus produces and secretes a small, basic protein, designated Efb, that binds to fibrinogen and seems to be required for virulence of the organism. A 3D model of Efb was developed, and it predicts that
the C-terminal half of the protein contains substantial a-helical content. CD analysis of Efb yielded a value of 40-
41% a-helix..Calcium and zinc both influence the interactions between Efb and fibrinogen, and an analysis of the amino acid sequence of Efb revealed the presence of consensus sequences for the binding of both metals.

Authors: Jayakumar R. , Scibioh M. Aulice , Pattabhi Vasantha , Manoharan P.T.
Published: November 2022

The conformational analysis of a synthetic peptide Boc-Lys(Z)-Gly-Val-NHMe has been carried out, as a model for nucleating segment in helix formation. 1H NMR studies (270 MHz) suggested that the Gly (2) NH, Val (3) NH and NHMe groups are solvent shielded. Conformational energy calculations and intramolecular hydrogen bonding constrains favour 310 helix structure for the peptide. Theoretical and spectroscopic results are consistent with the presence of a transannular 4 1 hydrogen bond between Lys (1) CO and NHMe with Gly
(2) NH and Val (3) being sterically shielded from the solvent environment.
LncRNAs and MiRNAs: New Targets for Resveratrol in Ovarian
Cancer Research
Authors: Chaichian Shahla , Bidgoli Sepideh Arbabi , Nikfar Banafsheh , Moazzami Bahram
Published: November 2022

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the 3rd common gynecologic cancer. Numerous procedures
are involved in the growth of OC, like migration, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis,
invasion, and metastasis. Therefore, a better knowledge of the molecular processes
complicated in ovarian tumorigenesis can lead to better measures for the prevention and
treatment of the disease and its diagnosis. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), a subclass
of non-coding RNAs, are much more diverse than previously thought. It is suggested
that these RNAs may play a role in controlling complex cellular signaling mechanisms
via binding to proteins and influencing their function. Nevertheless, our acquaintance
with the participation of LncRNAs in the pathogenesis of OC is still restricted. Especially,
we do not yet recognize how to pharmacologically correct the epi-mutations.
Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol mostly derived from grapes, has been evaluated in
many studies to find its cancer therapeutic potential. In the current paper, we aimed to review
the role of resveratrol as a potential natural product on lncRNAs as novel diagnostic
and therapeutic targets in OC and represent new insights for further investigations.
Linking Diabetes to Alzheimer’s Disease: Potential Roles of Glucose
Metabolism and Alpha-Glucosidase
Authors: Wee Ai Sze , Nhu Thao Dinh , Khaw Kooi Yeong , Tang Kim San , Yeong Keng Yoon
Published: November 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are more prevalent with ageing
and cause a substantial global socio-economic burden. The biology of these two conditions is well
elaborated, but whether AD and type 2 DM arise from coincidental roots in ageing or are linked by
pathophysiological mechanisms remains unclear. Research findings involving animal models have
identified mechanisms shared by both AD and type 2 DM. Deposition of β-amyloid peptides and formation
of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles are pathological hallmarks of AD. Type 2 DM, on the
other hand, is a metabolic disorder characterised by hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance. Several
studies show that improving type 2 DM can delay or prevent the development of AD, and hence, prevention
and control of type 2 DM may reduce the risk of AD later in life. Alpha-glucosidase is an enzyme
that is commonly associated with hyperglycaemia in type 2 DM. However, it is uncertain if this
enzyme may play a role in the progression of AD. This review explores the experimental evidence that
depicts the relationship between dysregulation of glucose metabolism and AD. We also delineate the
links between alpha-glucosidase and AD and the potential role of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in treating
AD.
Fabrication and Microwave Shielding Properties of Free-Standing Conducting Polymer-Carbon Fiber Thin Sheets
Authors: Kumar Rakesh , Dhawan S K
Published: November 2022

EMI is a 20th
-century radiation pollution that not only results in various
health hazards but also weakens the electronic system's performance. With the rapid
global development in various fields, this problem is increasing consistently. To
ensure the uninterrupted performance of electronic gadgets and avoid the effects on
human health, EMI shielding has become a necessity. In the recent past, a large
number of materials having a wide range of conductivity and good electromagnetic
attributes have been exploited for EMI shielding applications. Initially used metallic
shields, due to their high cost weight, corrosion propensity, and reflection-based
shielding, have been replaced by various types of materials. Among them,
intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) like polyaniline, polythiophene,
polypyrrole, etc., and their composites with various types of conductive and/or
magnetic fillers have played a significant role. Among all the conducting polymers,
polyaniline has been studied the most due to its special properties like moderately
high conductivity, ease of synthesis, proton doping, low cost, and high
environmental stability. Most of the developments related to EMI shielding have
been focused on the synthesis of new materials with high shielding effectiveness
(SE). For this purpose, polyaniline and its composites have been widely explored
due to its appropriate properties. But the commercial use of polyaniline for EMI
shielding applications has always been hampered due to its infusibility and limited processability. Also, limited work has been done for the fabrication of polyaniline
composites in the form of sheets that have sufficient SE along with improved
thermal and mechanical stability. The work presented in this chapter is based on the
fabrication of lightweight, thin sheets of polyaniline composites for EMI shielding
application in the X-band of microwave range (8.2-12.4 GHz). The polyaniline-CF-novolac (PACN) composite sheets thus obtained were finally tested for EMI
shielding applications using vector network analyzer (VNA) in the X-band of
microwave range. Characterization of all the composites and/or their sheets was
done by UV-vis, FT-IR, SEM, TGA, electrical conductivity (standard four-probe
method), flexural strength, and flexural modulus measurements.

Published: November 2022

Advancement in modern electronic devices needs special requirements
such as compact size, lightweight, and easy processing ability for the new innovative
systems. This chapter describes the fundamentals of porous MXene composites
(foams and aerogels) with the aim of inhibiting electromagnetic (EM) pollution. The
first article that elucidated the EM shielding capabilities of MXene composites
demonstrated superior performances to those of the existing materials, owing to their
metallic conductivity, large surface area, surface modifiability, and ease of
processability. Various approaches have been used to attenuate EM waves, including
the application of laminate, porous, and hybrid structures. Among these, the porous
morphology can contribute to the design of the absorption-dominant EM shield.
Herein, the variations in electrical conductivity, mechanical stability, and
electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) were explored with the
use of a porous morphology. Subsequently, the theoretical and experimental results
were analyzed to obtain new insights into the shielding mechanisms. This chapter will
provide an overview of porous MXene composite materials and future challenges and
strategies to design hybrid materials for next-generation EMI shielding applications.
Una estrategia para medir la bidiversidad
Authors: Halffter Gonzalo , Rös Matthias
Published: November 2022

Con verdadera insistencia varios trabajos recientes señalan que la multiplicación de índices para medir la diversidad biológica (más bien  características relacionadas con la misma), no contribuye a facilitar los estudios comparativos, ni la comprensión de la importancia y características de los cambios provocados por las perturbaciones antrópicas. En este trabajo proponemos un programa (al que hemos denominado estrategia) para medir con fines comparativos la biodiversidad. Aunque recogemos ideas ya publicadas (algunas de ellas en fechas muy recientes), la propuesta como conjunto, es decir como estrategia, es nueva. Discutimos en detalle y con suficiente apoyo bibliográfico, cada uno de los aspectos (o recomendaciones) de la estrategia: 1) Por qué utilizar como unidad de espacio-tiempo el paisaje; 2) Por qué seguimos el criterio de paisajes continuos, en lugar de la visión binaria del paisaje dividido en parches y matriz; 3) Por qué utilizar ventanas para el muestreo y análisis del paisaje especialmente cuando se trata de paisajes variegados pero también en otros tipos de paisaje; 4) Por qué usar grupos indicadores como medio para medir la riqueza de especies y la frecuencia de individuos, a pesar de las limitaciones que señalamos en el texto; 5) y por qué expresar los resultados en términos de diversidades verdaderas según los conceptos introducidos por Lou Jost. Terminamos nuestro articulo con algunas sugerencias (una muestra) de para tratar que cuestiones la estrategia puede ser útil. Los casos planteados implican comparaciones y corresponden a nuestra inquietud por aproximarnos a una medida real y comprobable de cómo las acciones humanas afectan a la diversidad en distintas condiciones ecológicas.
Relationship Between Valence and Arousal for Subjective Experience in a Real-life Setting for Supportive Housing Residents: Results From an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
Authors: Nandy Rajesh , Nandy Karabi , Walters Scott T
Published: November 2022

Background

The circumplex model of affect posits that valence and arousal are the principal dimensions of affect. The center of the 2D space represents a neutral state of valence and a medium state of arousal. The role of valence and arousal in human emotion has been studied extensively. However, no consistent relationship between valence and arousal has been established. Most of the prior studies investigating the relationship have been conducted in relatively controlled laboratory settings.

Objective

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of affect from participants residing in permanent supportive housing was used to study the relationship between valence and arousal in real-life settings. The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between valence and arousal in a person’s natural environment.

Methods

Participants were recruited from housing agencies in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. All participants had a history of chronic homelessness and reported at least one mental health condition. A subset of participants completed daily (morning) EMAs of emotions and other behaviors. The sample comprised 78 women and 77 men, and the average age was 52 (SD 8) years. From the circumplex model of affect, the EMA included 9 questions related to the participant’s current emotional state (happy, frustrated, sad, worried, restless, excited, calm, bored, and sluggish). The responses were used to calculate 2 composite scores for valence and arousal.

Results

Statistical models uniformly showed a dominant linear relation between valence and arousal and a significant difference in the slopes among races. None of the other effects were statistically significant. Compared with previous studies, the effects were quite robust.

Conclusions

Our findings may provide a window to the fundamental structure of affect. We found a strong positive linear relationship between valence and arousal at the nomothetic level, which may provide insight into a universal structure of affect. However, the study needs to be replicated for different populations to determine whether our findings can be generalized beyond the population studied here.

Published: November 2022

In the African city, once placed under the control of the colonizer and then a regulatory state in the aftermath of independence, public green spaces (parks and public gardens) are now under the governance of decentralized communities, in favor of the policy of decentralization. The will of the rulers (state, decentralized collectivities etc.) aims at setting up frame-works, structures, instruments and strategies, capable of establishing authority, control and space control "stumbles" on the social practices and behaviors of other actors. This will “stumbles” on the social practices and behaviors of the non-institutional actors involved. These clashes of practices between actors in their intention to use public green spaces rationally undermine the management of those who govern. Then the development of the conflicts of use around the urban public space deserves to be intelligibly analyzed through the social sciences of the organizations in order to restore to the parks and public gardens their social functions. As data collection tools, documentation, interview guides, direct observation and photographic collection were used. Also seventy-four (74) actors made up of agents of town halls, agents of the district of Abidjan, NGOs, associations, local residents, farmers etc. In terms of results, it emerges that between the actors in a situation of co-presence, eviction operations, police seizures, verbal and physical violence and illegal activities constitute forms of conflicts of use around space, public green.
A Comparative Analysis of OS Forensics Tools

Published: November 2022

Abstract: The internet is expanding at a breakneck pace, as the number of crimes perpetrated using or against computers. The area of computer forensics has arisen in reaction to the rise of computer crime. Computer forensics is the meticulous collection and examination of electronic evidence that not only analyses the damage to a computer because of an electronic attack but also recovers lost data from such a system to convict a criminal. As a result, the standard forensic process that is required after an electronic attack involves collecting evidence from a computer system, analyzing, and presentation of the collected evidence in court. Forensics deals primarily with the recovery and analysis of latent evidence. The growth of digital forensics has substantially increased the requirement for effective tools. There are several tools available today which are used to investigate the OS of a given computer. The purpose of this paper is to compare OS forensics tools by evaluating their ease of use, functionality, performance, and product support and documentation. This research will provide a brief comparative analysis of two widely used OS forensic tools-OSForensics and autopsy based on various contradictory factors.

Using OAF1 estimates to rank areas for supplemental planting
Authors: Martin Patrick J.
Published: November 2022

Supplemental planting (planting trees into areas of low stocking within young stands)—also known as fill-planting, blanking, or beeting—is a common silviculture practice. This extension note describes a method to rank areas for supplemental planting based on the yield gain expected from the treatment. The method uses a modified Type 1 Operational Adjustment Factor (OAF1) survey and yield estimates from the stand growth model called TIPSY (Table Interpolation Program for Stand Yields). OAF1 is a TIPSY input parameter that reduces predicted yield to account for small stocking gaps in the stand and other yield-reducing factors. The procedures for the survey method and subsequent runs of the TIPSY computer model are briefly described. The method is evaluated by comparing it to a review of the supplemental planting literature and to results obtained from the stand growth model TASS (Tree and Stand Simulator), as well as by testing it in the field.The literature on supplemental planting indicates that the survival and growth of fill-planted trees increases as gap size increases, the size of pre-existing trees decreases, and the height growth rate of fill-planted trees increases. Limited comparisons to TASS suggest that when large differences in predicted gain separate the alternatives (e.g., differences = 10 m3/ha), both TASS and the new ranking method order the alternative fill-planting opportunities similarly. However, when the differences in predicted gain among alternatives are small (e.g., < 10 m3/ha), the rankings differ. In addition, when the predicted gain is less than or equal to 20 m3/ha, the new ranking method overestimates the yield gain from supplemental planting.The method was field tested in 1998 and 1999 when Lignum Ltd. implemented the procedure to help rank areas for supplemental planting on cutovers naturally regenerated to lodgepole pine near Williams Lake, B.C. A field review of the method�s performance concluded that it made a useful contribution to the problem of ranking areas for supplemental planting. However, this method does not provide all of the information required to make a good prescription for supplemental planting. To achieve success with supplemental planting, silviculture prescription writers must select optimal stands and sites for treatment and utilize appropriate species, stock types, and planting procedures.
Water: A First Nations' Spiritual and Ecological Perspective.
Authors: Blackstock Michael
Published: November 2022

Water quality and availability is an urgent global concern. This paper documents, through the use of ethnographic research methods, First Nations� concerns and perspectives about water. The paper�s scope is primarily limited to the views of three Elders from the southern Interior of British Columbia: Mary Thomas from the Secwepemc, Millie Michell from the Nlaka�pamux, and Mary Louie from the Syilx Nation. Secondary literature sources complement the Elders� sharing of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). The Elders� emphasis on the spiritual impor-tance of water is contrasted with Western science�s emphasis on water�s unique physical and chemical properties. This fundamental difference raises questions about Western science�s approach to freshwater ecosystem management and study. Ultimately, this paper documents the wisdom of highly respected Elders about water in relation to the culture and freshwater ecosystems of South-Central British Columbia.
Ecological description and classification of some pine mushroom habitat in British Columbia
Authors: Wiensczyk Alan M. , Berch Shannon M.
Published: November 2022

This extension note summarizes the biology, traditional use, harvest method, and habitat of pine mushrooms in British Columbia and briefly discusses how information on habitat can be used to integrate important pine mushroom areas into timber harvest planning.The pine mushroom (Tricholoma magnivelare) is the most economically important species of wild mushroom harvested from the forests of British Columbia. Various factors, including natural variability in annual mushroom productivity and the method of harvest, are thought to influence wild mushroom production, but few benchmark measurements of commercial mushroom productivity are available. Information is needed on the types of stands and ecosystems in which these mushrooms occur.Soil, vegetation, and forests known to support commercial crops of pine mushrooms across the province are described. Forest subzone, elevation, slope, aspect, and landform all varied between study sites. In general, the soil, vegetation, and forest stand results indicate that submesic site series correlate well with commercial pine mushroom habitat.The results of this study illustrate that pine mushroom habitat capable of producing commercial crops displays certain characteristics and that pine mushrooms do not grow randomly. We recommend that the information from this study be used to define, expand, and map commercial pine mushroom sites. Forest planners can then use these maps to integrate the harvest of pine mushrooms with timber production objectives. Also, certain forest management techniques may be used to enhance mushroom production while meeting some timber objectives. More research is needed to determine which techniques could be applied to North American forests.

Over the last four years, the Early Stand Dynamics program of FORREX–Forest Research Extension Partnership has assessed the information needs of the operational silvicultural community. This process has identified a number of issues relating to management of competing vegetation, forest health, silvicultural systems, and best practices. Besides information needs, members of the silvicultural community also expressed concern about the loss of their experiential knowledge.These operational concerns prompted the initiation of an extension project to fill in the identified information gaps and document local knowledge. Competing vegetation and forest health were selected as the first subject areas on which to focus effort. Information relating to these two subject areas was collected, synthesized, and presented in an easy-touse format. The resulting product was then presented to both the operational and scientific communities for their review and input.The extension product generated by this process was called a “Stand Establishment Decision Aid” (SEDA). SEDAs are designed to provide information on the biological features that new and inexperienced practitioners need to consider when making silvicultural decisions about site limiting factors, such as competing vegetation or forest health. These decision aids are not intended to make the decisions for the practitioners. We currently base these decision aids on the Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) system. A description of this system is available on-line at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/pubs/Docs/Srs/SRseries.htm.The SEDAs for the Cariboo Forest Region will be published as a three-part series. The first section of the forest health SEDA provides a hazard rating system that identifies the specific biogeoclimatic zone and subzone where the forest health problem can potentially occur. The second section outlines some possible silvicultural considerations that affect the host species. These considerations could be used to develop a management strategy, if one is required. The SEDA concludes with a resource section outlining where more information can be located. Reference material that is not available on-line can be ordered through the Queen�s Printer at: http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca.Although these decision aids currently identify the problem first, rather than the particular ecosystem in which the problem occurs, we intend to develop a product that focuses on the ecosystem (subzone and site series) and ecosystem-specific problems. This extension product will be presented as part of a compendium of limiting factors in the Cariboo Forest Region, and is currently under development.
Field performance of pine stock types: Two-year results of a trial on interior lodgepole pine seedlings grown in Styroblocks, Copperblocks, or AirBlocks

Copper-treated Styrofoam containers and containers with side slits have been designed to modify the root systems of seedlings grown in hardwall containers. By chemical- or air-pruning major lateral roots, they encourage a more fibrous, branched root system, which is more evenly distributed throughout the root plug.In the study presented here, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) seedlings were grown in Copperblocks™, AirBlocks™, or conventional Styroblocks™ and planted into different rooting environments. Various laboratory tests were performed on the seedlings before planting, but these failed to predict responses to the treatments in the field. Container type influenced root development and potential root viability in the nursery; however, these differences had disappeared in the field after two growing seasons. Only in summer-planted seedlings was root egress near the top of the plug greater for copper-treated than for conventional seedlings in the field. Seedlings grown in Copperblocks with exclusively secondary needles were evaluated separately from those with only primary needles. The secondary-needle seedlings had greater height increments in both growing seasons, although no differences in root collar diameter were apparent. However, both types of seedlings were selected from a population grown under cultural conditions to induce secondary needles, and thus some of the differences may have a genetic basis. Spring-planted seedlings, grown on burnt slopes, grew 5–18% taller than those on screefed plots and 43–67% taller than seedlings on ripped landings. Our major conclusion is that, provided the seedlings are healthy, planting location is more important than stock type.

Congratulations on the success of your new BC Journalof Ecosystems and Management. We look forward tofuture issues on this important topic. However, webelieve there needs to be some clarification on therecently posted JEM article, “Using forest structuraldiversity to inventory habitat diversity of forest-dwellingwildlife in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia”by Kris McCleary and Garth Mowat [see pages 120–132]. The authors state that “forest ecosystem inventoriescurrently used in the province only document forestcomposition (Vegetation Resources Inventory) oridentify plant communities (Terrestrial EcosystemMapping) and are therefore inappropriate or inadequateas tools for land management planning.” Yet the methodssubsequently described for using forest structure asa means of inventorying forest-dwelling wildlife habitatappear to draw heavily on these existing provincialinventory standards for forest and ecosystem inventory.These inventories should have been correctly acknowledgedand referenced in McCleary and Mowat’s article.
