Authors: Ngoc Nam Trinh , Tri Phuong Nguyen , Hong Thia Le , Quoc Cuong Duong
Published: April 2022

Salt contamination of soils due to climate change faces a severe environmental issue that affects crop production today. However, the response mechanism in plants to salt stress is not fully understood. The present study investigated molecular and biochemical changes under salt stress in rice seedlings of three rice cultivars, i.e., AGPPS114 (salt-tolerant), OM6967 (moderately tolerance), VD20 (salt-sensitive). Increasing salt concentration leads to a reduction in shoot/root length but different levels among the cultivars. In contrast, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and lipid peroxidation increased progressively with increasing salt concentration and time course treatment. However, at 250 ?M of NaCl, these parameters were more adversely affected in VD20 than AGPPS114 and OM6967. Using ICP showed that Na+ accumulation in rice root increased gradually with increasing NaCl concentrations in all cultivars under salt treatment but was low in salt-sensitive cultivar VD20 compared to other cultivars. Antioxidant enzyme activity analysis indicated catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were induced during salt treatment in all cultivars. The results also showed greater proline and glycine betaine accumulation in the AGPPS114 than OM6976 and VD20. qPCR indicated a significant difference in transcript levels of the Na+-transporter gene OsSOS1, OsNHX1 and OsHKT1s in AGPPS114 and OM6967 cultivars compared to VD20 cultivar. In summary, the active regulation of genes related to Na+ transport at the transcription level and with high glycine betaine and proline accumulation levels may be involved in salt tolerance mechanisms and thus might be useful for selecting tolerant plants.

Shape coefficient of impact-echo for small-size short cylinder/circular tube structures
Authors: Yao Fei , Zhuang Jiachun , Abulikemu Abula
Published: April 2022

The results tested by the impact-echo method of the small-size short cylinder/circular tube structure were fundamentally different from that of the large-size long one. This phenomenon cannot be described by the existing calculation formulas. To modify the classical calculation formula, finite element models of various sizes of small-size short cylinder/circular tube structures, including 80 cylinders and 125 circular tubes, were established. Modal analysis frequency was compared with numerical simulation of impact-echo frequency under partial working conditions. In addition, the impact-echo frequency of whole working conditions was counted for later analysis. The impact-echo frequency correction formulas of the small-size short cylinder/circular tube considering the model length and the cross-sectional size of the cylinder/circular tube were proposed. Moreover, their reliabilities were verified through tests. The results showed that the impact-echo frequency of the small-size short cylinder structure increased linearly with the increase in diameter, decreased with the increase in length, whereas the relationship among frequency, outer diameter, and wall thickness of the circular tube component was complicated. Moreover, the modal of the whole member was excited rather than the free modal of the cross section of the large-size cylinder/circular tube when the small-size short one was impacted.
Effect of reinforcement particle amounts on dry sliding wear behavior of shot-peened SiC/A356 composites
Authors: Yolcu Coşkun , Kahraman Fatih
Published: April 2022

Aluminum matrix composites focus primarily on improving mechanical properties such as hardness and wear, however, the softness of the aluminum matrix and thermal coefficient difference between matrix and reinforcement adversely affect these properties. In the present paper, the wear properties of aluminum matrix composites including different amounts of reinforcement were investigated before and after the shot peening process which was used for decreasing the harmful effects as mentioned. The experimental studies clearly reveal that shot peening, which is a mechanical surface treatment and generally used for improving fatigue resistance of materials, has a beneficial effect on the poor wear behavior of metal matrix composites. Obtaining results also indicate that the microhardness is improved greatly up to a certain depth by shot peening due to the higher dislocation density/microstrain which is evidenced with the X-ray diffraction tests.

Manufacture and use: bone and tooth objects from the Late Bronze Age ‘shaman's grave’ at Przeczyce, Poland
Authors: Baron Justyna , Diakowski Marcin , Badura Beata
Published: April 2022

The microscopic analysis of tool marks on objects from the Late Bronze Age ‘shaman's grave’ at Przeczyce, Poland, has demonstrated that two wild boar tusk pendants, a bone disc and a set of bone tubes were manufactured exclusively using metal tools. We argue that the tubes were a musical instrument that originally consisted of several separate pieces, rather than a pan flute, as has previously been suggested.
The European Court of Human Rights and Internet-Related Cases
Authors: Wiśniewski Adam
Published: April 2022

The Internet-related cases coming to the European Court of Human Rights provide a good illustration of the challenges posed to the protection of human rights as based on the European Convention of Human Rights drafted in 1950. Considering that the Convention is a 70-year-old instrument, the Strasbourg Court has to deal with these cases using the body of principles and interpretation methods and techniques that has been developed so far, and in particular the ‘living instrument’ doctrine. In this study I propose to explore some main threads in the Court’s jurisprudence on Internet-related cases, outlining the specific nature of Internet-related cases, discussing the problem of rights connected with the Internet as well as the impact of the Internet on such classical rights as freedom of expression and the right to privacy. I conclude that the Internet-related case law of the Convention is in a process of constant development. The Strasbourg Court has demonstrated that it is capable of dealing with Internet-related cases based on general Convention norms and using its well-developed interpretation techniques. The striking feature of Strasbourg’s case law is the ECtHR’s recognition of the considerable importance of the Internet as regards the exercise of freedom of expression, and in particular freedom to seek and access information. Although the ECtHR regards the Internet as a communication medium, however, it recognises its specific features which affect the performance of rights protected by the Convention as well as dangers it poses for the protection of human rights under the European Convention of Human Rights.

Authors: Glumińska-Pawlic Jadwiga , Gwóźdź Tomasz
Published: April 2022

The article discusses the legal changes related to the finances of communes, introduced into the Polish legal order to counteract adverse social effects and the economic aspects of the SARSCoV–2 epidemic. It indicates the impact of new regulations on the website revenue for the budgets of municipalities and the powers of municipal authorities concerning, first and foremost, budget control and implementation. The solutions that were presented in detail have the goal of helping entrepreneurs most economically affected by the pandemic – such as the possibility of exemption from real estate tax by resolution of the commune council for part of 2020 and selected months of 2021, an extension of instalment payment deadlines for real estate tax, or the failure to collect the market fee in 2021. Essentially, only some of these solutions provide for financial compensation from the commune budgets. The consequences for the budgets of communes related to the changes indicated, in the context of the need to perform their tasks.

We studied the effects of mexidol (3-oxy-6-methyl-2-ethylpiridine succinate) on the antioxidant glutathione system in rat brain mitochondria in experimental Parkinson’s disease induced by rotenone administration. Wistar rats were divided into the following groups of 6 in each: I - intact rats (control); II - rotenone (3 mg/kg per day) was injected subcutaneously for 2 weeks; III - after rotenone intoxication, mexidol (50 mg/kg per day) was injected intraperitoneally for 2 weeks. In the suspension of brain mitochondria, the activity of NADH dehydrogenase (complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain), content of the active products of 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA-AP), the reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione amounts, the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes: glutathione peroxidase (GP) and glutathione reductase (GR) as well as NADH+-isocitrate-dehydrogenase activity (NADPH+- ICDH) were measured. The activity and protein expression of MnSOD and GP in rat brain mitochondria were estimated. Treatment of rats with mexidol led to a weakening of oxidative processes in brain mitochondria in comparison with rats exposed to rotenone intoxication. It was shown that intraperitoneal injections of mexidol led to a decrease in the TBA-AP and in the GSSG content and to an increase in GSH/GSSG ratio in comparison with rotenone intoxication. It was also registered an increase in the activity of NADH-dehydrogenase. Such changes indicated a weakening of the mitochondrial oxidative processes intensity. Treatment of rats with mexidol promoted an increase in GSH content, GR and NADPH+-ICDH activities in brain mitochondria in comparison with rotenone administration. Treatment with mexidol resulted to an increased activity and protein expression of GP and MnSOD. We conclude that mexidol reduced the rotenone-induced damage of rat brain mitochondria increasing the action of glutathione-dependent and NADPH+-generating enzymes.
Echocardiography in the Evaluation of the Right Heart
Authors: Tsipis Angelos , Petropoulou Evdokia
Published: April 2022

The significance of the right ventricle (RV) as a predictor of outcome in a series of cardiac conditions has recently been recognized. Consequently, more studies are now focusing on improving the assessment of the RV. Its primary function is to support adequate pulmonary perfusion pressure in different circulatory and loading situations and to ensure that there is a low systemic venous pressure. Echocardiography is the first-line method of choice due to its accuracy when assessing RV structure and function, as well as its wide availability. The geometry of the RV is complex and its evaluation can be difficult. Integrating and combining multiple parameters may be a more reliable way to determine normal or abnormal function. Novel techniques are increasingly being performed more routinely in clinical practice and are facilitating diagnosis and treatment choices.
Determinantes sociales y desafíos para la deconstrucción social de la pandemia por COVID-19
Authors: Parra Aguirre Martha Aida , Caza Chango Sandra Jacqueline
Published: April 2022

Objetivo: analizar los determinantes sociales de salud y su relación con el impacto de la COVID-19 en la salud de personas y comunidades, con el fin de suscitar nuevas reflexiones sobre los desafíos sociales que implica el abordaje de esta enfermedad.
Síntesis del contenido: la salud y la enfermedad son construidas y determinadas socialmente. Ambas están presentes en la forma en que vivimos y el tipo de sociedad que construimos. La pandemia actual ha evidenciado nuevamente profundas disparidades que están vinculadas a un mayor riesgo. Si bien la COVID-19 puede afectar a todas las personas, los impactos derivados de ella se perciben de formas diferentes según el estado de vulnerabilidad en el que se encuentre cada individuo, que es dado principalmente por determinantes sociales. Por tanto, cumplir con medidas de confinamiento en casa, higiene y distanciamiento social se convierten en una cuestión de privilegio imposible de acatar para ciertos sectores, especialmente en los países de América Latina.
Conclusiones:el abordaje de la pandemia como problema social requiere mirar más allá de las características del virus, su capacidad de propagación y los factores biológicos individuales, para enfocarse en los verdaderos determinantes sociales y así promover equidad en los servicios de salud e identificar dónde intervenir de manera efectiva. La reconstrucción de la sociedad pospandemia exige que la salud sea comprendida y practicada como un derecho humano y un bien público garantizado por el Estado. De lo contrario, una de las consecuencias de abordar la pandemia como un "problema del virus" es perpetuar la negligencia en los procesos políticos, económicos y sociales, es decir, exige un análisis amplio de los contextos y las circunstancias sociales.

Methods An ecological study with incidence data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and mortality data from the World Health Organization. The trend of incidence by Joinpoint regression, the variation of the annual average and the 95% confidence interval were analyzed.
Results There were increasing trends in incidence in Brazil, in males, aged 40-59 years, and reduction in Costa Rica. In females, there was stability in all age groups. The mortality rates increased in the elderly in Brazil (AAPC: 1.09%; 95% CI: 0.76; 1.42), Peru (AAPC: 1.76%; 95% CI: 0.36; 3.17) and El Salvador (AAPC: 2.88%; 95% CI: 0.38; 5.43), while in Mexico, there was a reduction. In females, this rate increased in Brazil (AAPC: 1.38%; 95% CI: 1.07; 1.69), Peru (AAPC: 2.25%; 95% CI: 0.68; 3.85), Chile (AAPC: 3.62%; 95% CI:1.96; 5.31), Nicaragua (AAPC: 2.51%; 95% CI: 0.36; 4.71) and Paraguay (AAPC: 1.17%; 95% CI: 0.37; 1.98) and a downward trend was observed in Colombia and Ecuador.
Conclusions Pancreatic cancer had a higher incidence in the elderly population of both sexes and an increase of the mortality trend in females was noted.
O descaso epistêmico diante da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil
Authors: Lucho de Araujo Luiz Guilherme , Eichler Marcelo  Leandro
Published: April 2022

Tratando-se de um vício epistêmico, a atitude do descaso epistêmico diante da pandemia COVID-19 trouxe diversos empecilhos, principalmente para a conscientização da população sobre a importância dos protocolos a serem seguidos. As informações sobre os riscos do novo coronavírus foram distorcidas, causando dúvidas, elemento chave para a malevolência epistêmica. Este trabalho buscou contextualizar o descaso epistêmico, propondo a utilização desse vício epistemológico para refletir sobre posturas negacionistas ou minimalistas diante da pandemia. Com centenas de milhares de mortes confirmadas, dizer que o Brasil lidou bem com a situação demonstra o descaso durante a pandemia. O país ainda sofre com as consequências desse período e corre o risco de postergar ainda mais o seu fim, pois mesmo com avanços científicos e a produção de vacinas que são eficazes diante do coronavírus, as decisões e medidas durante a pandemia indicam uma posição negacionista e perigosa. Entendemos ser necessário enfrentar o obscurantismo gerado pelo descaso epistêmico. Nesse sentido, uma das formas de lidar com o conjunto de vícios epistêmicos é formular estratégias de educação, de comunicação e de conscientização. Assim, defendemos um ensino de ciências crítico e direto, no qual há uma comunicação adaptada ao público, evitando ou prevenindo a manipulação de informações e a desqualificação de estudos com metodologias científicas.

Published: April 2022

There has been a growing interest in meat analog, microstructure characteristics, and anti-nutritional content obtained from soybean. High-moisture extrusion parameters are the input extruder of moisture content (>40%) that get the advantages of lower energy input. Thermo-mechanical treatment has a considerable influence on structural properties of soy-based meat analog. Texturized soy proteins can substitute meat products while providing a high-protein food ingredient which can be consumed directly as meat analogs. Therefore, this review aims to the effect on soybean of micro-structural and physicochemical properties of meat analogs by high-moisture extrusion. Thus, further studies are required concerning a large-scale meat products with purify protein structure.

ABSTRACT Objective: To test the reliability between two instruments with different analysis mechanisms, either by GPS (model GPSPORTS®) or by video analysis (InStat For Players®), relating the results of total distance covered and distance at high speed ≥ 20km/h (Very High-Intensity Running Distance, VHIR) during official soccer matches. Study Design: This is a methodological study. Data from 35 male professional soccer athletes from all tactical positions were included. Age 29.2 (± 4.8 years) and body fat 9.9 (± 1.7%), excluding goalkeepers (102 individual analyzes) were collected in official matches. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics procedures were used to characterize the sample and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to verify the agreement on the stability and internal consistency of the tests with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The ICC in the case of the total distance traveled variable was significant 0,914 (0,876; 0,941) and indicated a very high agreement, with the linear correlation coefficient indicating a strong positive correlation (p <0.001). The ICC for the VHIR variable was not significant, although the linear correlation coefficient indicates a strong positive correlation (p <0.001). Clinical Relevance Statment: This study reveals that there is good agreement in the comparison of two systems designed to analyze the movement demands of each professional soccer athlete in relation to the total distance covered.

Authors: Han Lisen , Yue Jieyu
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Exercise commitment plays an explanatory and guiding role in an individual's adherence to exercise behavior. However, exercise commitment in recreational situations is poorly studied. Objective: Develop a sporting and recreational behavior questionnaire based on the commitment scale for Chinese urban residents. Methods: Two stages were conducted, the first with a sample of 453 individuals to explore and verify the determinants of behavioral commitment in recreational sport and the fit of the framework, and the second with a sample of 786 individuals to investigate the relationship between behavioral commitment in recreational sport and its determinants. Results: Behavioral commitment in-play sport included five determinants: ‘motivation to participate’, ‘personal involvement’, ‘choice to participate’, ‘opportunity to participate’, ‘social support’. The constructed model showed a good fit. The factors: ‘motivation to participate’, ‘personal engagement’ and ‘interest to participate’, showed a significant positive association with engagement and a significant negative association with a choice to participate. Conclusion: The resulting model shows characteristics of recreational sport behavior and can be used as a measure of commitment to recreational sport behavior among residents of a Chinese city.

Authors: Santos Gladis dos
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Purpose: to furnish psychometric evidence of the Test of Narrative Language version, examining a) the equivalence and analysis of internal consistency; b) performance differentiation per age; c) convergent validity; and d) dimensionality analysis. Methods: the adapted test version was applied to 68 children with typical development, aged 5 to 6 years and 11 months, from private and public schools. The data were analyzed for the reliability and validity of the instrument. Results: in the three narrative comprehension items, the highest scores were obtained when the story was told with five pictures in a logical sequence, followed by the one with a single picture, and lastly, the one with no pictures. In the three narrative production tasks, the best performance was in the story told along with a single picture, followed by the five pictures in a logical sequence, and lastly, the one with no pictures. There was no significant difference in the scores of all private-school children and in those of the 6-year-old public- and private-school children. The single-factor structure better explained the instrument dimensionality. Conclusion: the reliability and validity evidence demonstrated its indication, and the potential of the results must be taken into account for future standardized construction to assess oral narrative.

Estrutura de capital das empresas não financeiras no Brasil: evidências para 2009-2017
Authors: Nappi Joseli Fernanda , Botelho Marisa dos Reis Azevedo , Cruz Felipe Nogueira da , Marins Nathalie Tellez
Published: April 2022

Resumo Este trabalho analisou a estrutura de capital de 121 empresas não financeiras de capital aberto que atuam no Brasil, entre 2009-2017. A metodologia baseou-se em Moreira e Puga (2000) e as informações foram coletadas na Economática. Os resultados mostraram que neste intervalo os recursos de terceiros, majoritariamente endividamento, foram a principal fonte de financiamento. Além disso, verificou-se maior participação nas firmas de maior ativo total. Entre 2009-2013, houve ampliação do endividamento das firmas com alongamento do seu vencimento, enquanto entre 2014-2017 ocorreu o inverso. Nesse último período, a participação dos recursos de terceiros caiu em relação ao período anterior. Concluiu-se que a maior participação dos recursos de terceiros e a melhora no perfil do endividamento se deveram, em grande medida, ao ciclo expansivo do crédito corporativo brasileiro, e que a sua retração está sendo absorvida em parte pelos recursos próprios, que poderão assumir maior importância nos próximos anos.
Determinantes do trabalho produtivo no Brasil: as normas de gênero e a decisão intrafamiliar
Authors: Passos Luana , Machado Danielle
Published: April 2022

Resumo Em pleno século XXI, a atuação laboral feminina ainda fica muito aquém da masculina, a despeito de todo avanço educacional das mulheres. Tendo em conta este cenário, o artigo objetiva investigar os determinantes e suas relativas importâncias na decisão de ser economicamente ativo, considerando homens e mulheres de unidades domésticas nucleares, com ênfase na compreensão das normas de gênero. Para tanto, é utilizado o modelo Probit bivariado de modo a estimar a decisão conjunta de homens e mulheres participarem do mercado de trabalho, com base na PNAD Contínua de 2018. Os achados apontam que a decisão de homens e mulheres, de unidades domésticas nucleares, ingressarem no mercado de trabalho é interdependente, corroborando a escolha do modelo de probabilidade bivariado. Ademais, constata-se que os atributos produtivos favorecem atuação laboral de homens e mulheres, mas as variáveis relacionadas às normas de gênero, em linhas gerais, caminham em sentido contrário.
Carmen Miranda: um Ícone de Mercado Incorporado
Authors: Oliveira Renata Couto de Azevedo de
Published: April 2022

Abstract Building upon the CCT framework of incorporation of ideologies, taste regimes, and national and regional interests by consumer cultures, this paper proposes that social and political ideologies are also embodied in marketplace icons. This paper aims, then, to bring together the concepts of iconicity and liminality to provide an account of Carmen Miranda as a marketplace icon who not only embodied the national myths of her time but also continues to be employed in the current marketplace for a variety of purposes. As such, icons like Carmen contribute to the production of marketplaces in which historical, political, and ideological issues are naturalized. Carmen’s collaboration via cultural industries such as radio and cinema, her omnipresence in advertising campaigns and in the printed media, and her influence on female fashion contributed to the consumer culture of her time. Moreover, the mythical character of her persona and her cultural legacy hold an expressive symbolic power, making her a remarkable contemporary marketplace icon. The key to her iconicity is her liminality; unsettling hierarchies, traversing social planes, and questioning identity. As a marketplace icon, Carmen’s legacy is thus constantly reissued, founded upon the ambivalence of her persona and signaling her transgressive potential.
Gênero, Feminismo e Diplomacia: Analisando a Instituição pelas Lentes Feministas das Relações Internacionais
Authors: Lenine Enzo , Sanca Naentrem
Published: April 2022

Abstract The feminist agenda in International Relations has recently drawn attention to gender issues in diplomacy, focusing mainly, though not exclusively, on analysing the trajectories of female diplomats in the institution. Though scarce, these studies approach the topic primarily via national case studies, resorting to the concept of gender to examine the power structures based on ideals of masculinity and femininity, which establish patterns of inequality and discrimination within the institution. In this article, we review national and international studies on gender and diplomacy, aiming to map the theoretical and methodological articulations underlying the gender analysis of diplomacy, which sees it as a gendered institution where gender-based hierarchies of power operate. In terms of methodology, we discuss the main concepts and theoretical frameworks of this research agenda, unraveling their connections to the broader feminist agenda in IR. We map the most recurrent methods and point out both theoretical and methodological gaps that need to be addressed in future research. Furthermore, we briefly review the main studies on gender and diplomacy conducted by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and academia, attempting to bridge national and international studies on gender and diplomacy. We conclude that the research agenda on gender and diplomacy has a rich conceptual and theoretical arsenal that establishes multiple dialogues with institutional feminist theories and with feminisms in IR. However, important gaps persist both in terms of the incorporation of intersectionality and cross-national comparative approaches, which are paramount to advancing gender analyses of diplomacy as an institution.

Silenciamento da sexualidade do adolescente no contexto rural
Authors: Monroy-Garzon Adriana Marcela , Silva Kênia Lara da
Published: April 2022

A educação para a sexualidade é um pilar fundamental da saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Contudo, há um distanciamento dessa discussão para adolescentes rurais. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o discurso sobre a sexualidade do adolescente no contexto rural e as perspectivas para romper com a ordens do discurso. Adota como metodologia a pesquisa-ação desenvolvida em duas escolas rurais: uma no Brasil e outra na Colômbia. Para análise dos dados foi aplicada a Análise Crítica do Discurso. A sexualidade do adolescente no contexto da escola rural é atravessada por dispositivos que produzem o silenciamento. A construção da sexualidade é marcada pelos modelos biomédico, biológico e sexista que se exacerbam no contexto rural. É preciso reeducar o conceito de sexualidade como dimensão humanizadora e avançar na discussão sobre como a tecnologia e a mídia interferem nos modos de vida e na sexualidade dos adolescentes no contexto rural.

Monumento às Bandeiras: processo de construção e ressignificação simbólica
Authors: Coelho George Leonardo Seabra
Published: April 2022

Resumo: Este artigo se dedica à campanha pela construção do Monumento às Bandeiras, em 1936, e o processo de ressignificação que esse monumento passou nos últimos vinte anos. Para tanto, apresentamos os princípios que norteavam o Movimento Bandeira e a estruturação da Revista S. Paulo (1936). Neste estudo, avaliamos como o “mito bandeirante” permeou os enunciados em prol da construção do monumento que, para os simpatizantes do Movimento Bandeira, se consagraria como um lugar de memória para os brasileiros, em especial para os paulistas. Por fim, examinamos como alguns estudos destacaram o processo de ressignificação simbólica do Monumento às Bandeiras e as possibilidades abertas aos lugares de memória.
Agave rosalesii (sect. Inermes , Asparagaceae), segregated from Agave ellemeetiana K. Koch (sect. Choritepalae ): a new species from the Mixteca Alta of western Oaxaca, Mexico
Authors: Vázquez-García J. Antonio , Thiede Joachim , Etter Julia , Kristen Martin
Published: April 2022

Background: Agave ellemeetiana ( A . sect. Choritepalae ) features soft and “spineless” leaves and occurs in two disjunct and ecologically differentiated populations classified as subspecies. An incidental look at the flowers of A . ellemeetiana ssp. subdentata unveiled that these did not match those of A . ellemeetiana s. str. nor those of sect. Choritepalae .
Questions: Do these disjunct populations differ in flower and fruit morphology? Do they belong to the same section within Agave ?
Hypotheses: The floral morphology of populations of Agave ellemeetiana ssp. subdentata from western Oaxaca places this species in A . sect. Inermes , and the set of qualitative and quantitative differences is sufficient to recognize it as a distinct species.
Studied species: Agave ellemeetiana , Agave pedunculifera .
Study site and dates: Putla District, western Oaxaca, December 2011 and April 2014.
Methods: We conducted an alpha-taxonomic study of the Agave ellemeetiana species complex, involving two fieldwork expeditions, review of literature, online images, and herbarium specimens.
Results: Differences in flower, fruit and vegetative morphology and habitat support the segregation of the populations (from the Putla District, Oaxaca) from the Agave ellemeetiana complex as a new species, A . rosalesii spec. nov. The presence of an evident corolla tube places the proposed taxon close to A . pedunculifera and within A . sect. Inermes .
Conclusions: The populations from the Putla District are sufficiently distinct in their morphology and ecology to merit recognition as a new species, Agave rosalesii , placed in A . sect. Inermes .

Does Social Justice Leadership in Education Improve the School Belonging and Resilience of Students?
Authors: Seval Koçak
Published: April 2022

This research aims to explore the relations between social justice leadership, sense of school belonging, and student resilience. The research was conducted with 549 high school students. The data was collected through the social justice leadership scale, the psychological sense of school membership scale, and student resilience scale. The research tested the mediator role of sense of school belonging in the relationship between social justice leadership and student resilience. The findings showed that sense of belonging has a full mediator role; in other words, social justice leadership improves student resilience by increasing the sense of school belonging. In this context, a school leader who wants to increase the academic and social resilience of the students should carefully consider all harmful effects caused by social differences at school and improve the quality of school life. School leaders also should involve students in their decision-making processes and provide students with a critical consciousness that can criticize and challenge discriminatory and oppressive practices. Generally, school leaders should contribute to the development of student resilience by improving students’ school context in all aspects.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 can have neuropsychiatric consequences and has the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. If SARS-CoV-2 has a specific route of entry into the brain, it may leave imprints in the form of specific changes in brain morphology. Older individuals are most vulnerable to the neuropsychiatric COVID-19 complications. This study aims to compare regional brain volumes in older adults individuals with and without COVID-19 history (COVID+ and COVID-, respectively).
METHODS: Individuals over 65 years old who applied for treatment to the Memory Clinic (Mental-Health Clinic No. 1 named after N.A. Alexeev, Moscow, Russia) were assessed between October 2020 and April 2021. Their COVID-19 history was determined by the self-report and COVID-19 certificate. Individuals with severe neuropsychiatric or acute or severe chronic somatic or infectious disease and those taking medications potentially affecting cognitive functioning were excluded. All participants underwent MRI examinations followed by image segmentation and morphometric quantitative analysis. Regional brain volumes were compared in COVID+ and COVID- people.
RESULTS: 207 participants were included in the study. The COVID+ group consisted of 24 participants. The comparison between groups revealed statistically significant differences in left amygdala area (median 1199.3 mm3 in COVID+ vs. 1263.7 mm3 in COVID-) and right postcentral gyrus volumes (median 8055.5 mm3 in COVID+ vs. 8434.0 mm3 in COVID-). Then case-control analysis was performed in individuals matched for gender, age and common somatic causes of structural brain changes (hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus type 2) for 22 subjects in each group. Statistically significant differences in regional brain volumes between groups were absent.
CONCLUSION: We did not find strong evidence for any regional brain volumes changes in people older than 65 years with a history of COVID-19 in comparison to those without history of COVID-19. Though, given study limitations, these results cannot be generalized to other people who recovered from COVID-19.
