Glacial AMOC shoaling despite vigorous tidal dissipation: vertical stratification matters
Authors: Chen Yugeng , Song Pengyang , Chen Xianyao , Lohmann Gerrit
Published: September 2024

Abstract. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), tidal dissipation was about 3-fold higher than today, which could have led to a considerable increase in vertical mixing. This increase might have enhanced the glacial Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), contradicting the shoaled AMOC indicated by paleoproxies. Here, we conduct ocean model simulations to investigate the impact of background climate conditions and tidal mixing on the AMOC during the LGM. We successfully reproduce the stratified ocean characteristics of the LGM by accurately simulating the elevated salinity of the deep sea and the rapid temperature decrease in the ocean's upper layers. Our findings indicate that the shoaled glacial AMOC is mainly due to strong glacial-ocean stratification, regardless of enhanced tidal dissipation. However, glacial tidal dissipation plays a critical role in the intensification of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) during the LGM. Given the critical role of the AMOC in (de-)glacial climate evolution, our results highlight the complex interactions of ocean stratification and tidal dissipation that have been neglected so far.
Projected changes in land carbon store over the 21st century: what contributions from land use change and atmospheric nitrogen deposition?
Authors: Riano Sanchez Jaime A. , Vuichard Nicolas , Peylin Philippe
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Earth system models (ESMs) represent the time evolution of the biophysical (energy and water cycles) and biogeochemical (carbon cycle) components of the Earth. When used for near-future projections in the context of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), they use as forcings the evolution of greenhouse gas and other pollutant concentrations and land use changes simulated by an ensemble of integrated assessment models (IAMs) for a combination of socioeconomic pathways and mitigation targets (SSPs). More precisely, only one IAM output is used as representative of a single SSP. This makes the comparison of key ESM diagnostics among SSPs significantly noisy and without the capacity of disentangling SSP-driven and IAM-driven factors. In this paper, we quantify the projected change in land carbon store (CLCS) for the different SSPs with an advanced version of a land surface model embedded into IPSL-CM6 ESM. Through a set of land-only factorial simulations, we specifically aim at estimating the CLCS dispersions associated with land use change and nitrogen deposition trajectories. We showed that the spread of the simulated change in global land carbon store induced by the uncertainty in the land use changes is slightly larger than the one associated with the uncertainty in the atmospheric CO2. Globally, the uncertainty associated with N depositions is responsible for a spread in CLCS that is lower by a factor of 3 than the one driven by atmospheric CO2 or land use changes. Our study calls for making available additional IAM scenarios for each SSP to be used in the next CMIP exercise in order to specifically assess the IAM-related uncertainty impacts on the carbon cycle and the climate system.

Abstract. We present an overview of the UK's Global Sea Ice model configuration version 9 (GSI9), the sea ice component of the latest Met Office Global Coupled model, GC5. The GC5 configuration will, amongst other uses, form the physical basis for the HadGEM3 (Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 3) climate model and UKESM2 (UK Earth System Model version 2) Earth system model that will provide the Met Office Hadley Centre/UK model contributions to CMIP7 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 7). Although UK ocean model configurations have been developed for many years around the NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) ocean modelling framework, the GSI9 configuration is the first UK sea ice model configuration to use the new native NEMO sea ice model, SI3 (Sea Ice modelling Integrated Initiative). This replaces the CICE (Community Ice CodE) model used in previous configuration versions. In this paper we document the physical and technical options used within the GSI9 sea ice configuration. We provide details of the implementation of SI3 into the Met Office coupled model and the adaptations required to work with our “conductivity coupling” approach and provide a thorough description of the GC5 coupling methodology. A brief evaluation of sea ice simulated by the GC5 model is included, with results compared to observational references and a previous Global Coupled model version (GC3.1) used for CMIP6, to demonstrate the scientific credibility of the results.

Abstract. Models are widely used to research hydrological change and risk. However, the power embedded in the modelling process and outcomes is often concealed by claiming their neutrality. Our review shows that in the scientific literature relatively little attention is given to the influence of models on development processes and outcomes in water governance. At the same time, an emerging body of work offering critical insights into the political implications of hydrological models and a nuanced understanding of their application in context has begun to flourish. Drawing on this work, we call for power-sensitive modelling which includes the following considerations: take a holistic approach to modelling beyond programming and coding; foster accountability; work towards just and equitable water distributions; be transparent about the expectations and choices made; and democratise modelling by giving space to and being mindful of representations of multiple bodies of knowledge and multiple stakeholders and by incorporating marginalised people and nature into the modelling process. Our call should not be understood as a suggestion to do away with modelling altogether, but rather as an invitation to interrogate how quantitative models may help to foster transformative pathways towards more just and equitable water distributions.
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Potato Plant Nutrient Deprivation and Vegetation Stress using High-Resolution Spectroradiometry for Minimal Input Agricultural Systems

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Nitrogen is a plant growth limiting nutrient in natural ecosystems, however, many agricultural systems are saturated due to high fertilizer applications. This can lead to higher costs, nitrogen leakage into the environment and unnecessary GHG emissions that contribute to climate change. To avoid this, Neilson (2021) has proposed an approach based on minimal input agricultural systems (MIAS). MIAS seeks to grow crops with limited fertilizer inputs. This is accomplished through targeted/precision fertilizer placement, managing plant physiology to operate at higher efficiencies and adopting new varieties. To work optimally MIAS requires methods to quickly assess plant nutrient status and adjust fertilizer applications accordingly. This study tested remote sensing for detecting stress in potato plants, based on two separate and independent laboratory remote sensing experiments. The goal is to determine minimal input levels applied to a starvation agricultural system that provide yields equivalent (or perhaps even improving upon) those obtained using current excessive inputs, both in terms of yield and, importantly, quality. This research is at the front-end of a proposed paradigm shifting new approach to agriculture. We are being careful to start at first principles in this work; thus the study presented here is based on multiple trials and independent tests. Results testing experimental approaches and N deprivation assessment determined the optimal leaf density and timing of measurements and demonstrated a capability to detect vegetation stress and N deprivation in three potato varieties. These results will inform next steps for future RPAS/UAV/airborne/satellite studies and be used to develop other plant physiology assessment methods.
Reconstruction of Building LoD2 Wireframe Models Using Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Soleimani Vostikolaei Faezeh , Jabari Shabnam
Published: September 2024

Abstract. LoD2 building models can be used in different digital twin-related applications such as urban planning, disaster management, optimizing green energy efficiency, and solar panel recommendation. Existing technology for 3D modelling of buildings still relies on a large amount of manual work due to the irregular geometries of different roof types. Wireframes have shown to be an effective representation for 3D building especially in LoD2 format. Due to the complexity and diversity of roof types in urban areas, 3D building modeling remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new framework for generating 3D wireframes to model different roof types. While high-resolution airborne images can be utilized to exploit the fine details of the roofs, they have difficulties in areas with poor contrast or shadows. The proposed framework incorporates the Digital Surface Model (DSM) as an auxiliary data source to address this limitation. In this work, we focus on the extraction of roof geometrical components including lines and planes of individual buildings to achieve a consistent LoD-2 building reconstruction. The proposed methodology is divided into two phases: (1) jointly predicting building lines and roof planes from the RGB imagery and DSM and (2) generating 3D wireframes of buildings using the extracted roof planes and lines. Subsequently, height values from the point clouds are used to derive 3D wireframes. Experiments with 1,620 buildings from Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick in eastern Canada, demonstrate an IoU of 0.9337, an F1-score of 0.939, and an F2-score of 0.9378 for the roof geometrical components detection phase, as well as an RMSE of around 0.2-0.8 meter for the final 3D building model compared to the original LiDAR data was achieved.
Modelling subglacial fluvial sediment transport with a graph-based model, Graphical Subglacial Sediment Transport (GraphSSeT)
Authors: Aitken Alan Robert Alexander , Delaney Ian , Pirot Guillaume , Werder Mauro A.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. A quantitative understanding of how sediment discharge from subglacial fluvial systems varies in response to glaciohydrological conditions is essential for understanding marine systems around Greenland and Antarctica and for interpreting sedimentary records of cryosphere evolution. Here we develop a graph-based approach, Graphical Subglacial Sediment Transport (GraphSSeT), to model subglacial fluvial sedimentary transport using subglacial hydrology model outputs as forcing. GraphSSeT includes glacial erosion of bedrock and a dynamic sediment model with exchange between the active transport system and a basal sediment layer. Sediment transport considers transport-limited and supply-limited regimes and includes stochastically evolving grain size, network-scale flow management, and tracking of detrital provenance. GraphSSeT satisfies volume balance and sediment velocity and transport capacity constraints on flow. GraphSSeT is demonstrated for synthetic scenarios that probe the impact of variations in hydrological, geological, and glaciological characteristics on sediment transport over multi-diurnal to seasonal time frames. For steady-state hydrology scenarios on seasonal timescales, we find a primary control from the scale and organisation of the channelised hydrological flow network. The development of grain-size-dependent selective transport is identified as the major secondary control. Non-steady-state hydrology is tested on multi-diurnal timescales for which sediment discharge scales with peak water input, leading to increased sediment discharge compared to the steady state. Subglacial hydrology models are being applied more broadly, and GraphSSeT extends this capacity to quantitatively define the volume, grain-size distribution, and detrital characteristics of sediment discharge that through comparison with the sediment record may enable improved knowledge of the glaciohydrological system and its impact on marine systems.
'The American Spirit' [Az amerikai szellem]
Authors: Hanne Matthew
Published: September 2024

The composer and pedagogue Erzsébet Szőnyi (1924-2019), who studied with Zoltán Kodály, Nadia Boulanger, and Olivier Messiaen, is largely credited with advancing Kodály’s vision for music education around the world. In the second and third volumes of Szőnyi’s Biciniumok (two-part musical arrangements to be used pedagogically with children), the musician, educator, and translator László Lukin (1926-2004) provided Hungarian texts to twenty-four American folk songs. Lukin himself was a student of Lajos Bárdos and Jenő Ádám, who (along with Szőnyi) were pivotal in the development of Hungary’s system of music education in the early 20th century. This paper explores the challenges encountered when translating lyrics from English to Hungarian: navigating the idiomatic use of language in folk material; overcoming differences in prosody and its impact on both linguistic accents and musical meter; and differentiating between literal, cultural and artistic/creative avenues of translation. General patterns of word stress, syntax, and meaning will be addressed for all twenty-four of the folk song arrangements. Through a detailed analysis of four of the pieces (“Madarak”, “Bricskán Járok”, “Postaváró”, and “Ausztrál Tájak Felé”), the author will highlight the variety of approaches taken by Lukin regarding the process of translation.
Imagining Friends and Foes: The (Re)Education of Jojo Rabbit
Authors: Skiles William
Published: September 2024

The film Jojo Rabbit is a coming-of-age story that explores the power of the imagination in constructing and deconstructing Nazi ideals. Ten-year-old Johannes (Jojo) Betzler was educated by Nazi society to imagine Hitler, the Nazis, and the “Aryans” as his friends and the Jews as his diabolical foes. Only when he meets and befriends Else, a Jewish girl hidden in his attic, is he able to break free and begin to recognize and deconstruct these imagined friends and foes. Moreover, Jojo Rabbit demonstrates how friendship is a context in which vice or virtue can develop (depending on the friend) by enabling transformation, training the emotions, and enslaving or setting free. The filmmakers turn the Nazi imagination upon its head: they dismantle the Nazi view of jungle animals fighting each other for survival to show that it is only by laying down hatred and animosity that we can rely on each other and survive together amid the chaos.
Being Queer in Turkish Cinema: Existence, Appearance, and Representation
Authors: Ege Övünç
Published: September 2024

Queer representations in cinema are both influenced by and reflective of local or global cultures. In the context of Turkish cinema, patriarchal Turkish culture often negatively impacts the portrayal of queer identities. These portrayals tend to reflect society’s view of queers rather than illustrating their actual place within society. This study examines the evolution of queer representation in Turkish cinema from its inception to the present, highlighting queer identities and representation issues through the lens of Judith Butler's queer theory.

Kajian Desain dan Perilaku Pengguna Kloset Duduk di Toilet Umum
Authors: Setiawati Aan
Published: September 2024

Hasil karya pada sebuah desain arsitektur sangatlah mempengaruhi perilaku manusia sebagai penggunanya. Oleh karena itu arsitek tidak dapat asal merancang tanpa memperhatikan aspek manusianya sendiri sebagai pengguna. Salah satu yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini yaitu penggunaan toilet umum. Mayoritas masyarakat di Indonesia terbiasa menggunakan kloset jongkok. Namun saat ini, khususnya di masyarakat perkotaan, kloset jongkok sudah mulai ditinggalkan oleh sebagian masyarakat di Indonesia. Mereka mulai menggunakan kloset duduk karena dirasa lebih modern serta dinilai baik dari segi estetika. Begitu pula dengan para perancang/arsitek yang mulai banyak menempatkan kloset duduk ketika merancang toilet umum. Salah satu contohnya, ditemukan kloset duduk di tempat umum yang kotor karena terdapat bekas injakan sandal atau sepatu pada dudukan klosetnya. Penelitian ini perlu dilakukan mengingat semakin maraknya penggunaan kloset duduk di tempat fasilitas umum yang perancangnya sendiri tidak memperhatikan budaya serta kebiasaan perilaku para penggunanya yaitu menggunakan kloset jongkok yang mengakibatkan kloset duduk digunakan jongkok oleh penggunanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskripsi kualitatif. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi tentang kajian desain dan perilaku pada pengguna kloset duduk di tempat fasilitas umum sebagai bentuk akibat dari perancangan yang tidak memperhatikan kebutuhan serta budaya pengguna. Arsitek harus memperhatikan beberapa prosedur yang harus dilakukan sebelum memulai perancangan, serta menganalisis terlebih dahulu rancangannya “for whom and for what”,  karena kesalahan dalam  merancang dapat berakibat buruk bagi banyak orang.
From work one’s ass off to bite one’s face off: Understanding the degree of idiomaticity through syntactic and semantic inheritance in a network of (originally) resultative constructions
Authors: Sánchez Fajardo José A.
Published: September 2024

This study is aimed at exploring the degree of idiomaticity of resultatives characterized by the structure [[V]i[pd]j[N]koff] through a qualitative examination of [V], [N], and the property of telicity. Based on a random extraction of 1,000 concordances from the English Corpus enTenTen21, findings show that the network of constructions is made up of three Types (‘Intensification’, ‘Astoundment’, and ‘Detachment’) and ten Subtypes, with ‘body part’ being the most frequent [N]. Also, the (sub)schemas in the network originate from the inheritance of at least one of the following properties: verbal intensification, (a part of) someone as recipient of an action, and detachment of such a part.

Trade credit, as an effective tool for integrating and coordinating material, information, and financial flows in supply chain management, is becoming increasingly widespread. We explore how a manufacturer can design optimal trade credit contracts when a risk-averse retailer hides its sales cost information (adverse selection) and selling effort level (moral hazard). We develop incentive models for a risk-averse supply chain when adverse selection and moral hazard coexist, which are then compared with the results under single information asymmetry (moral hazard). Moreover, we analyze the effects of private information and risk-aversion coefficient on contract parameters, selling effort level and the profit or utility of the supply chain. The study shows that when the degree of retailer’s risk aversion is within a certain range, reasonable trade credit contracts designed by the manufacturer can effectively induce the retailer to report its real sales cost and encourage it to exert appropriate effort. Furthermore, we find that the optimal trade credit period, optimal transfer payment, and retailer’s optimal sales effort level under dual information asymmetry are less than under single information asymmetry. Numerical analysis are conducted to demonstrate the effects of the parameters on decisions and profits.
Antioxidant Properties of Melanocytes and their Potential Implication in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Authors: Kim Gayeong
Published: September 2024

Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the cellular antioxidant defense system, leads to significant cellular damage. When the body’s detoxification mechanisms are overwhelmed, ROS can inflict damage on lipids, proteins, and DNA, resulting in harms in the cells. Antioxidants neutralize these ROS by converting H₂O₂ into water and oxygen, thereby mitigating oxidative damage. Oxidative stress is prominently associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Increased oxidative damage markers have been observed in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. This study investigates the potential antioxidant properties of melanocytes, pigment-producing cells as a model to understand ROS-induced damage and its relevance to neurological disorders. Using ROS measurement, cell viability assay, and catalase activity tests, this study demonstrated that melanocytes exhibit significant resistance to ROS. Melanocytes maintained higher catalase activity and cell viability compared to T-MSCs under oxidative stress conditions. These findings suggest that melanocytes possess robust mechanisms for mitigating ROS-induced damage, making them a valuable model for exploring oxidative stress-related neurological disorders.

Authors: Patel Nilam , Pansala Dharti
Published: September 2024

Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is an inflammation of plantar fascia and perifacial structures. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) as an adjunct to conventional physiotherapy on pain, mobility and function in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
Methods: A total of 33 patients with chronic PF with age between 25-65 years were included. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (n=17) and experimental group (n=16). Both groups received conventional physiotherapy, in addition experimental group also received PRRT. Subjects were assessed with Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), eversion and inversion Range of Motion (EROM & IROM) and Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) at 0 week, 2 week and 4 week.
Results: Friedman test was applied for intra-group comparison and Mann Whitney U test was applied for between group comparison. Result showed that there was statistically significant difference between control group and experimental group in mean difference of NPRS and PSFS (p<0.05). But there was no statically significant difference in mean difference of EROM and IROM during 4 week intervention period (p>0.05).
Conclusion: PRRT along with conventional physiotherapy is more effective for reducing pain and improve the function in patient with chronic plantar fasciitis. There is no additional effect of PRRT on mobility.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide according to WHO. COPD once known as smokers cough, is now understood because of genetic and environmental interactions. Gene mutation causing antitrypsin deficiency & tobacco consumption are the major risk factors. Chronic small airway dysfunction and episodes of acute exacerbation with severe airflow obstruction, dyspnea, sputum production, impaired gas exchange and hypoxemia are salient features of COPD. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are employed for airway clearance. OPEP therapy is a airway clearance technique.
Materials and methods: The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of OPEP therapy on clinical outcomes among COPD patients. A pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was conducted to assess the effectiveness of OPEP therapy on clinical outcomes among COPD patients admitted to selected tertiary care hospitals. After ethical committee clearance, 33 subjects were selected conveniently. Validity and reliability of the tool was established and baseline data was collected. OPEP therapy was administered in two sessions twice a day, each session containing 5 breaths each, followed by 2 huff cough. Data related to clinical variables and self-reported symptoms were collected on each day.
Results: Study reveals that there is a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-interventional respiratory rate (p <0.0001) heart rate (p<0.0001), SpO2 (p=0.002) PEFR (p=0.03). This study also reveals that there is a significant difference in pre and post interventional self -reported symptom score (CCQ, p<0.0001)
Conclusion: OPEP therapy proved to be effective, in producing positive clinical outcomes and can be used effectively to manage symptoms among COPD patients.

OBJECTIVES: We investigated associations between bioaerosol exposures and work-shift changes in lung function and inflammatory markers among recycling workers.

METHODS: Inhalable dust was measured with personal samplers and analyzed for endotoxin, bacteria, and fungi (incubated at 25 °C and 37 °C) levels. Lung function (FEV1, FVC) was measured before and after work-shifts and serum concentrations of inflammatory markers (CRP, SAA, CC16, IL1B, IL2, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL13, and TNF) after the shift. Associations were explored by linear mixed-effects models.

RESULTS: We included 170 measurements from 88 production workers exposed to inhalable dust, endotoxin, bacteria, and fungi (25 °C and 37 °C) at geometric mean levels of 0.6 mg/m3, 10.7 EU/m3, 1.6×104 CFU/m3, 4.4×104 CFU/m3, and 103 CFU/m3, respectively, and 14 administrative workers exposed at 7-fold lower levels. No associations were observed between bioaerosol exposures and work-shift change in lung function. IL2, IL6, IL10, and TNF concentrations were positively associated with inhalable dust levels, SAA and IL6 with bacteria, CRP, SAA, IL8, and TNF with fungi (25 °C or 37 °C), with the latter being the only statistically significant finding (exp(β) 1.40, 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.96).

CONCLUSIONS: This study of recycling workers exposed to bioaerosol levels generally below those of farmers and compost workers and above background levels did not indicate any acute effect on lung function. Several inflammatory markers tended to increase with exposure, suggesting a systemic effect. Future research should combine data from bioaerosol-exposed workers to uncover health risks that may form the basis for health-based occupational exposure limits.
Identifying novel regulators of exocytosis through a chemical genetic screen in Arabidopsis
Authors: Li Xiaohui
Published: September 2024

Exocytosis is a process necessary for the efficient delivery of new membrane, membrane proteins, and extracellular matrix components to the plasma membrane (PM) and cell wall. The process encompasses packaging of cargo into secretory vesicles at the trans-Golgi network as well as their transport, tethering, docking, and fusion with the PM. The exocyst complex facilitates the tethering of secretory vesicles to the PM. A small molecule, Endosidin2 (ES2), serves as an exocyst inhibitor and binds to the EXO70A1 subunit of the exocyst complex. To identify additional exocytosis regulators, we carried out a forward chemical genetic screen to identify ES2-hypersensitive mutants from ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized Arabidopsis lines. We developed a pipeline for the identification and mapping of drug-hypersensitive mutants, and obtained a fully sequenced and mapped EMS mutant population to be used for future studies. Mutants hypersensitive to ES2 were named es2s. One such mutant, es2s-15, had a strong ES2 hypersensitive phenotype for root. We mapped the causal mutation to argj and identified a second allele with similar phenotypes. Surprisingly, ArgJ is an enzyme in the arginine biosynthesis pathway. Supplementation with arginine rescued the ES2 hypersensitive phenotype of both argj alleles. Taken together, our results indicate that impaired arginine biosynthesis leads to exocytosis defects.

Published: September 2024

The concept of regeneration is gaining traction across diverse disciplines, from agriculture and engineering to business and the social sciences. More than just a buzzword, regeneration is emerg­ing as a pivotal boundary object in a paradigm shift that is redefining design principles and transform­ing humanity’s relationship with the environment. This narrative review explores regeneration’s jour­ney from its literal origins in biology and engineer­ing to its metaphorical applications in areas such as regenerative economics, agriculture, and culture. We argue that regeneration’s conceptual fluidity allows it to adapt and resonate across domains while maintaining a core ethos of holistic, proactive care and stewardship. Central to regeneration is the notion of generativity—a principle that champions giving back more than what is taken, fostering reci­procity, and co-creating a thriving world for all. As regeneration gains prominence, there are risks that it will be misappropriated or diluted by greenwash­ers; however, its power lies in its ability to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and place-based solu­tions. Rather than limiting regeneration through strict definitions, we propose nurturing its develop­ment through collaborative social agreements like covenants and treaties that enshrine its core tenets of generativity, diversity, and care. We believe that regeneration’s emergence across disciplines heralds a new era of environmental thought and action—one where humanity moves beyond harm reduc­tion to actively healing and enriching the social and ecological systems that we are part of. This review provides a foundation for scholars and practition­ers to engage critically with regeneration and col­laborate across boundaries to address pressing socio-ecological challenges.

Published: September 2024

En Nicaragua el maíz se produce principalmente por pequeños y medianos productores; parte de la producción se destina al comercio y el resto se destina como semilla (siembra), no obstante, la producción se ve afectada por problemas ocasionados por patógenos, particularmente el grupo de las bacterias. Esta investigación se desarrolló con el objetivo de identificar fitobacterias asociadas a semillas de maíz y su efecto sobre la germinación. Se utilizaron 50 muestras de semillas proporcionadas por el Instituto de Protección y Sanidad Agropecuaria, las que procedían de Managua, Chinandega, León y Matagalpa, departamentos de Nicaragua. Para el aislamiento e identificación de las fitobacterias se utilizó la metodología de cámaras húmedas, medios de cultivos específicos, diferenciales, pruebas fenotípicas y los postulados de Koch para observar síntomas en plantas de 20 días de edad. Se realizaron pruebas de germinación en 400 semillas (cuatro repeticiones) por fitobacteria identificada y para el testigo y se observaron los síntomas producidos por las fitobacterias en las plántulas. Se obtuvieron 16 aislados de Burkholderia andropogonis (Smith) Gillis et al y un aislado de Pseudomonas syringae Van Hall. Los síntomas ocasionados por Burkholderia andropogonis (Smith) Gillis et al se manifestaron como manchas en las hojas de colores rojizas castañas y Pseudomonas syringae Van Hall, presentó síntomas en forma de manchas claras de forma elípticas con halos amarrillos en la punta de las hojas bajeras. Mediante la prueba de germinación se comprobó que las fitobacterias no inciden en la germinación de las semillas de maíz, pero si se observaron síntomas de la enfermedad en las hojas verdaderas y en las raíces.
La revolución peruana, atentado contra los bienes imaginarios
Authors: Bonino Nieves Marco Enrique
Published: September 2024

En el presente ensayo se realiza una radiografía socioeconómica de las diferentes clases sociales existentes en el Perú de los años setenta, desde la perspectiva de la Antropología Política. Se hace un estudio crítico de las categorías de análisis existentes en ese tiempo, para describir la sociedad y sus clases. Resultando una propuesta vigente en nuestros días. Este análisis profundo de la sociedad peruana de inicios de los años setenta, se da en el contexto de la revolución social de Velazco Alvarado (1968-1975) que hizo parte de una serie de revoluciones durante dos décadas (60-70) que se desarrollaron en América del Sur, en el marco del llamado Cesarismo Democrático. El escrito representa una crítica a la clase media de ese tiempo, por su ambigüedad ante las transformaciones revolucionarias llevadas a cabo por la Revolución Velazquista. El autor terminó de escribir este texto en Cuzco, Perú, el 9 de julio 1971. Quedó inédito por más de cuatro décadas. Con ocasión del décimo aniversario de su paso a otro plano de vida, se publica hoy, como homenaje a su memoria.

La presente obra está dedicada a reconocer la pulsión de la sociedad organizada, ese conjunto de personas que se convocan en torno a una causa común y que consiguen a golpe de movilizaciones, muchas veces pacíficas y otras no tanto, el cambio político y jurídico que corresponda sus demandas. Las y los autores de este libro exploran, desde diversas perspectivas, las tensiones entre el Estado y la sociedad. Si bien la organización estatal es la institucionalización colectiva más compleja de los seres humanos, pareciera que cuando aquéllos que deben responder desde los gobiernos a las necesidades de quienes les otorgaron el mandato, se hacen oídos sordos. Entonces, ante la sordera del Estado resurge la sociedad organizada como motor de movimiento y de revolución. La propuesta es: abrir las puertas constitucionales para dar mayor fuerza a la voz de la sociedad organizada. Sea este texto el preámbulo para conocer cuáles serían las condiciones y resultados de tal acción.
