Differential expression of centromere protein F in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the centromere protein F, CENPF, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. CENPF was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. CENPF mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CENPF in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal, luminal A, and luminal B subtype cancer, but in a contrary manner. CENPF may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Large gatherings? No, thank you. Devaluation of crowded social scenes during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Massaccesi Claudia , Chiappini Emilio , Paracampo Riccardo , Korb Sebastian
Published: March 2021

In most European countries, the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (spring 2020) led to the imposition of physical distancing rules, resulting in a drastic and sudden reduction of real-life social interactions. Even people not directly affected by the virus itself were impacted in their physical and/or mental health, as well as in their financial security, by governmental lockdown measures. We investigated if the combination of these events had changed people’s appraisal of social scenes by testing 241 participants recruited mainly in Italy, Austria, and Germany in an online, pre-registered study conducted about 50 days after the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe. Images depicting individuals alone, in small groups (up to four people) and in large groups (more than seven people) were rated in terms of valence, arousal, and perceived physical distance. Pre-pandemic normative ratings were obtained from a validated database (Kurdi et al., 2017). Several self-report measures were also taken, and condensed into four factors through factor analysis. All images were rated as more arousing compared to the pre-pandemic period, and the greater the decrease in real-life physical interactions reported by participants, the higher the ratings of arousal. As expected, only images depicting large gatherings of people were rated less positively during, compared to before, the pandemic. These ratings of valence were however moderated by a factor that included participants’ number of days in isolation, relationship closeness, and perceived COVID-19 threat. Higher scores on this factor were associated with more positive ratings of images of individuals alone and in small groups, suggesting an increased appreciation of safer social situations, such as intimate and small-group contacts. The same factor was inversely related to the perceived physical distance between individuals in images of small and large groups, suggesting an impact of lockdown measures and contagion-related worries on the representation of interpersonal space. These findings point to rapid and compelling psychological and social consequences of the lockdown measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic on the perception of social groups. Further studies should assess the long-term impact of such events as typical everyday life is restored.
The good and the bad: Are some attribute words better than others in the Implicit Association Test?
Authors: Axt Jordan , Feng Tony Y. , Bar-Anan Yoav
Published: March 2021

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is one of the most popular measures in psychological research. A lack of standardization across IATs has resulted in significant variability among stimuli used by researchers, including the positive and negative words used in evaluative IATs. Does the variability in attribute words in evaluative IATs produce unwanted variability in measurement quality across studies? The present work investigated the effect of evaluative stimuli across three studies using 13 IATs and over 60,000 participants. The 64 positive and negative words that we tested provided similar measurement quality. Further, measurement was satisfactory even in IATs that used only category labels as stimuli. These results suggest that common sense is probably a sufficient method for selection of evaluative stimuli in the IAT. For a reasonable measurement quality, we recommend researchers who use evaluative IATs in English to randomly select words from the set we tested in the present research.
Fragile Memories for Fleeting Percepts
Authors: Bowman Howard , Avilés Alberto
Published: March 2021

Our perceptual systems are exceptionally good at searching our sensory environments for salient stimuli. A key question is the extent to which this search is performed subliminally. We explore this using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), by comparing detection performance with the memory left for distractors, the stimuli that have to be rejected as non-targets in the process of searching for targets. Our findings are that “immediate” free recall of arbitrary distractors at RSVP rates is very poor, with a severe recency effect. Recognition performance was higher and less subject to recency, but still substantially lower than detection performance. We argue that these findings suggest that the brain subliminally searches for salient stimuli, and are also consistent with a theory we call the tokenized-percept hypothesis, which links conscious perception to the process of episodically marking experiences.
Pathogen disgust sensitivity: Individual differences in pathogen perception or pathogen avoidance?
Authors: van Leeuwen Florian , Jaeger Bastian
Published: March 2021

The emotion disgust motivates the avoidance of pathogens and contaminants. Individuals differ in their tendency to experience disgust and this is reflected in pathogen disgust sensitivity. Yet, it remains unclear which differences in psychological processes are captured by pathogen disgust sensitivity. We tested two hypotheses about how the information processing structure underlying pathogen avoidance might give rise to individual differences in pathogen disgust sensitivity. Participants (n = 998) rated the perceived health of individuals with or without facial blemishes and indicated how comfortable they would feel about having physical contact with them. For participants with high disgust sensitivity, facial blemishes were more indicative of poor health and perceived health was more strongly related to comfort with physical contact. These findings suggest that pathogen disgust sensitivity reflects individual differences in the tendency to interpret stimuli as an infection risk and the weight given to estimated infection risk when deciding who should be approached or avoided.
Parental Work and Family Poverty Experience in the First Six Years of A Child’s Life
Authors: Han Wen-Jui , Zhang Liwei
Published: March 2021

Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Birth Cohort in the United States, this paper examines the relationship between changes in parental work status and schedules and changes in families’ poverty status during early childhood years. We focus on three dimensions of familial poverty: poverty depth, volatility in family income, and poverty duration. Regression results suggest that for both the mother and the father, repeated changes in work status between standard daytime hours, nonstandard hours, or not working significantly increased the probabilities of families experiencing 1) not only near-poor conditions, but also falling into poverty, if not deep poverty, 2) volatility in family income, and 3) longer durations of poverty. Working nonstandard hours brought another layer of instability and insecurity. Results in this paper shed new light on whether families’ poverty or economic status change when parents move into or out of employment and into or out of nonstandard work schedules.
By Default: The Origins of Gendered Inequalities in Pandemic Parenting
Authors: Calarco Jessica McCrory , Meanwell Emily Victoria , Anderson Elizabeth M. , Knopf Amelia
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased families’ childcare responsibilities, disproportionately affecting mothers and undermining their careers and wellbeing. Using two waves of interviews with 77 mothers of young children, we examined why mothers—especially in dual-earner, different-gender couples—took on more pandemic parenting. We found that pre-pandemic gendered structures of paid work led many families to lean on mothers by default. First, within-couple gaps in job types, pay, and work hours led some mothers to do more childcare to protect partners’ work as primary earners. Second, educational gaps within couples led some mothers to do more as the only parent able to work fully remote. Third, pre-pandemic childcare gaps within couples led children (and partners) to rely more heavily on mothers, even when both partners were home full-time. We discuss the implications for research on gender inequalities in paid work and parenting and for policy efforts to address gender inequalities at home.

Authors: Abdu Emebet Mohammed , Mariamenatu Abeba Haile
Published: March 2021

Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a positive-sense RNA virus that possesses four genes that encode the spike (S), membrane (M), nucleocapsid (N), and envelope (E) proteins. The virus was originated in seafood market selling live animals and responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The initial case was traced to the city of Wuhan in the province of Hubei, China, reported as an emerging respiratory virus, the outbreak was reported to WHO on December 31, 2019, and soon after identified the causative pathogen as a beta coronavirus named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); Furthermore, It is a highly contagious virus that spreads swiftly outside of China in March and the World Health Organization had to declare COVID-19 pandemic on March 11, 2020, and as of August 15, 2020, more than 21 million confirmed cases have been reported, with > 755 786 deaths worldwide. This day’s novel coronavirus-2019 is the most infectious virus with high infectivity and low mortality rate where a high mortality rate was observed among people above the age of sixteen (60) years and with the pre-existing health condition. To date, there is no clinically approved antiviral drug or vaccine available to be used against COVID-19. However, Preventive measures such as masks, hand hygiene practices, avoidance of public contact, case detection, contact tracing, and quarantines have been discussed as ways to reduce transmission. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize the basic biological properties of novel coronavirus 2019.

World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) has estimated that 60% of infectious diseases and 75% of emerging and re-emerging diseases of humans have an animal origin. In Nepal there six zoonoses; Taeniasis/cysticercosis /Neurocysticercosis, Leptospirosis, Hydatidosis, Brucellosis; Toxoplasmosis and Avian Influenza are identified as priorities zoonotic diseases as they are found to have epidemic potential. Although they are prioritised, there is high prevalence of these diseases in both humans and animals with insufficient research and data. Coordination of multiple stakeholders of public and animal health and One Health collaboration are crucial to control and elimination zoonotic diseases in Nepal.

Discourse of civil military relations in Nepal
Authors: Bhandari Chiranjibi , Sharma Rajendra
Published: March 2021

A sovereign nation –state requires a strong military institution and the Nepali Army demands its personnel’s obedience, loyalty, sacrifice and discipline to maintain command and control. However, as an established principle, civilian control of the military is desirable to the military control of the state. The concept of Civil Military Relations (CMR) is dynamic, evolutionary and country specific. Such a bond between an official security organization and the public in general change with regime shifts, external imperatives and technological innovations. The impact of regime changes and political movements has been observed in various aspects of politics, society in Nepal is not an exception. In this line, this article deals on the theoretical discourse of CMR, reviews the constitutional and legal provisions and examines the factors influencing CMR in Nepal from the period of modern nationstate formation to present days. Along with existing debates around the role of the Nepali Army in various non-military jobs, this paper proposes multiple perspectives on how different entities, including bureaucrats, politicians and military leaders perceive CMR. Likewise, the writers argue that sharing the responsibilities among the civil society, citizenry and military organizations is one of the most suitable approaches in response to balancing CMR in Nepal.
Hybrid threats in the national security context of Nepal
Authors: Angbo Padam Kumar
Published: March 2021

Of late, hybrid warfare has emerged as a widely contested but practically tested war strategy anticipated in the future. This paper revolves around strategies to deter, mitigate and counter hybrid threats to national security in the context of Nepal. Prevailing geopolitical and geostrategic environments exhibit that different actors, including state and non-state hybrid strategies pose a clear challenge to Nepal's national security interests. Hence, there is a need for a national security strategy to counter hybrid threats which demands fresh thinking, expanding the traditional enemy-centric threat assessment and response. But the general understanding of hybrid warfare is underdeveloped because hybrid means are ambiguous and complex, such as unorthodox, unpredictable and constantly changing. Ultimately, developing and implementing effective national security policy, ensuring political stability, zero tolerance policy on corruption, good governance, economic and resources development, trusted law enforcement, effective stakeholders including security and intelligence system, building resilience are the best ways to prevent a hybrid war before it erupts. This article argues that Nepali Army, as a key responder, too needs to have an updated military doctrine and strategy on its role in countering it.

Leibniz and Wolf: critical foundations of the idea of scientific revolution in philosophy
Authors:   I. Mechnikov Odessa National University, Secundant Sergii
Published: March 2021

This article reveals the critical content of the idea of scientific revolution in Wolff's philosophy and shows Leibniz's contribution to its formation. Although Wolff's goal was to reform the method of philosophizing on the model of Euclid's geometry, which was based on the Cartesian idea of achieving certainty by clarifying concepts, this clarification Wolff in the sense of Leibniz sees in such an analysis of concepts that would accurately establish a connection between them and show the possibility of the object that expresses this concept. Wolff sees the critical meaning of his method in the fact that by analyzing the concepts to link all concepts and statements into a single system, which was based on consistent grounds and would not contain unproven propositions. This would, according to Wolf, remove from philosophy all the concepts, the objects of which were not possible, and statements that could not be proved. Leibniz's idea of concept analysis also formed the basis of his notion of philosophy as the science of the possible. The critical meaning of this concept of philosophy in Wolff, as in Leibniz, was to limit the subject of philosophy only to the realm of the possible. Although the main critical ideas underlying Wolff's philosophical system were formulated by Leibniz, Wolf's system was still the fruit of his genius. Many of his critical ideas were groundbreaking and had a marked influence on the further development of philosophy. These include, first of all, the requirement to preface the construction of a system of philosophy with research the cognitive abilities of the human mind. However, his attempts to build a universal system of knowledge led to the leveling of the critical content of some of Leibniz's demands, which led to the accusation of him and Leibniz of atheism and fatalism.

Freedom, Salvation, Redemption
Authors: Hurd Elizabeth Shakman
Published: March 2021

The politics of religious asylum is ripe for reassessment. Even as a robust literature on secularism and religion has shown otherwise over the past two decades, much of the discussion in this field presumes that religion stands cleanly apart from law and politics. This article makes the case for a different approach to religion in the context of asylum-seeking and claiming. In the United States, it suggests, the politics of asylum is integral to the maintenance of American exceptionalism. Participants in the asylum-seeking process create a gap between Americans and others, affirming the promise of freedom, salvation, and redemption through conversion not to a particular religion or faith but to the American project itself. This hails a particular kind of subject of freed om and unencumbered choice. It is both a theological and a political process.
“It’s a Big Umbrella”
Authors: Chimbidzikai Tinashe
Published: March 2021

This article questions the dominant narrative that considers displaced persons as victims, powerless, and lacking agency to shape their individual and collective conditions. Based on an ethnographic study of largely Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders living in Johannesburg, the article argues that Pentecostalism offers an alternate worldview that draws on religious beliefs and practices to express triumph over everyday adversities and vicissitudes of forced mobility. The article concludes that such beliefs and practices embolden and espouse individual and collective agency among “born-again” migrants, as they mobilize religious social networks for individuals to make sense of the uncertainties engendered by displacement.
Translation from Pashto to English: An Analysis of Deforming Tendencies in the English Translation of Abdul Ghani Khan's Poetry
Authors: Ahmad Raees , Iqbal Liaqat , Ullah Irfan
Published: March 2021

Intending to identify that how meaning in the source text has been reproduced in the translated text, the study attempts to investigate deforming tendencies used in the selected poems of Abdul Ghani Khan translated from Pashto into English by Imtiaz Ahmed Sahibzada. Imtiaz Sahibzada has translated 141 poems from the mammoth corpus of Abdul Ghani Khan's Poetry into English and named it The Pilgrim of a Beauty. Using judgmental sampling, ten poems were selected and were analysed in the light of Antoine Berman's (1965) Text Deformation System which includes twelve deforming tendencies. While analysing the translated text in comparison with the source text, deformation in terms of semantics and the syntactic structure was found. Abdul Ghani Khan's poetry translation is considerably deformed, and the translator has little maintained the composition, musicality, and structure of the source text because of different reasons. He has deformed the beauty of the source text poems at the cost of the message due to the use of various deforming tendencies.
Against Phenomenal Bonding
Authors: Siddharth S
Published: March 2021

Panpsychism, the view that phenomenal consciousness is possessed by all fundamental physical entities, faces an important challenge in the form of the combination problem: how do experiences of microphysical entities combine or give rise to the experiences of macrophysical entities such as human beings? An especially troubling aspect of the combination problem is the subject-summing argument, according to which the combination of subjects is not possible. In response to this argument, Goff (2016) and Miller (2017) have proposed the phenomenal bonding relation, using which they seek to explain the composition of subjects. In this paper, I discuss the merits of the phenomenal bonding solution and argue that it fails to respond satisfactorily to the subject-summing argument.

Many system development consultants nowadays using the XP framework (eXtreme Programming) in software development, This is based on the needs of the era where software can be completed quickly and when user software development is involved. The XP framework does not need too many team members, so it emphasizes effectiveness of work. In software development must begin with good planning to avoid patchwork (software crisis) in software development. The stage in research on the development of rental heavy equipment applications with an XP framework start from planning, designing, coding, testing and releasing software. Studies that do in this research include: literature studies, interviews, observations, document examinations. Next is do the analysis on the application made, and make documentation for system development. That was done as a system analysis and system design in the research. The selection of the right framework at the time of application development is very important, so that the application can be completed on time. The XP framework focuses more on making programs, the system design is enough with the CRC (Class Responsibility Collaborator). In the framework of XP, it always involves users during application development. Each module made by programmers that always tested by the system test section, so the applications that are made can be completed on time, suitable with user needs, and have high quality.

Along with the development of times, artisan cakes are increasingly in demand by the public to celebrate special days or as a gift. Online artisan cake is a cake shop that uses social media like Instagram and Facebook to sell their cakes. The current cake ordering process is still done manually which is done through two stages. First, customer sees and chooses the type and design of cakes through Instagram or Facebook. Second, he or she places an order on the cake selected before via Line or WhatsApp. The need of two different media makes the ordering system less efficient. Apart from that, customer who want to make special or custom requests can only deliver their request through messages via Line or WhatsApp, so there are often misunderstanding and inaccuracies caused by either customer or cake maker different picture of request. Therefore, an information system is needed to support the order process and cake design at online artisan cake shops using Rapid Application Development (RAD) system development using prototyping. System modeling is developed by using UML 2.5, namely use case diagrams, activity diagrams, class diagrams and entity relationship diagrams. The final result of this final project is a website that supports ordering process and cake design at online artisan cake shops that can simplify the ordering process and order customization on the design of the ordered cakes. The website created has gone through the test phase and is ready to use.

Salah satu operasi di dalam analisis citra adalah segmentasi citra. Pada mulanya proses segmentasi dilakukan untuk memisahkan objek dari latar belakangnya, sehingga segmentasi merupakan bagian penting dalam pengenalan objek. Saat ini segmentasi sudah mengalami perkembangan yang sangat pesat, bukan hanya untuk tujuan pengenalan objek saja tetapi juga untuk persoalan interpretasi citra, yaitu untuk mengetahui objek-objek yang termuat dalam suatu citra. Banyak algoritma sudah dikembangkan untuk proses segmentasi citra. Beberapa di antaranya adalah algoritma C-Means Clustering dan Fuzzy C-Means Clustering. Pada peneltian ini, dilakukan perbandingan antara algoritma C-Means Clustering dan Fuzzy C-Means Clustering dalam segmentasi citra. Dari beberapa hasil percobaan yang didapat dalam penelitian ini berupa sisi waktu atau kecepatan, ketelitian dan pengulangan, maka dapat disimpulkan algoritma Fuzzy C-Means Clustering adalah algoritma yang terbaik yang dapat digunakan dalam segmentasi citra karena dalam algoritma Fuzzy C-Means Clustering terdapat nilai keanggotaan atau fuzzy yang secara iteratif diperbaiki hingga mencapai keadaan konvergen.

This study deals with the local names of floras and faunas living in the area of Danau Laut Mati Tasi Ana’ in Landu Sub District of Rote Regency. As language and physical nature are two inseparable entities, this study emphasizes that maintaining a language, to some extent, is equal to maintaining the existence of nature and vice versa. Documenting the names of floras and faunas in Landu Dialect of Rote Language and describing their meaning are two main purposes of this study. The underlying principle of it is to maintain the languge from being endangered. The main question that drives this study is to what semantic domain do the local names of floras and faunas belong to? In order to obtain data a Field observation was conducted. The photos of floras and faunas were taken. A native speaker of Landu dialect of Roti Languge who lives nearby the Lake wa consulted in order to get the local names of the floras and faunas. The data analysis follows the model presented by Suweta (2013). The data show that the floras and faunas living in the area of Danau Laut Mati Tasi Ana’ belong to four semantic domains i.e the domain of food for human being, food for animal, herb, and building material.
Is SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein impairing macrophage polarization via α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors?
Authors: Saraiya Tanmay , Labrou Dimitris , Farsalinos Konstantinos , Poulas Konstantinos
Published: March 2021

The innate immune cells play an important role in handling early infections, and can eliminate them completely up to a certain threshold. Beyond that threshold they take up their role in “The Resolution of Inflammation”. The recognition of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen triggers an eicosanoid storm and initiates a robust inflammatory response. This establishes a positive feedback loop which develops into a sustained cytokine storm which interferes with the activation of adaptive immune cells. The mechanism of this interaction, and hence the pathogenesis of the virus with the immune system, is yet to be determined. In silico studies predict a direct SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which could impair macrophage function and initiate the cascade of events described above. We here, add to the hypothesis that immune dysregulation can be caused by the interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein via a cryptic epitope with the α7-nAChR in Type-1 macrophages, discuss its implications for the treatment of COVID-19 patients, and present better prospects for the design and dissemination of more effective vaccines and their importance.
Denosumab-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: a five year monocentric retrospective study of Ancona General Hospital
Authors: Togni Lucrezia , Mascitti Marco , Tesei Andrea , Zavaglia Vittorio , Nori Alessandra , Santarelli Andrea
Published: March 2021

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of Jaws (MRONJ) represents a progressive destruction and death of bone affecting the jaws of patients treated by medications increasing the risk of disease, in the absence of a previous radiation therapy. Medications involved in the etiopathogenesis of MRONJ include antiresorptive drugs and biological agents. Its incidence and prevalence in general population are unknown and highly variable, due to the heterogeneity of available epidemiological data. MRONJ significantly affects the patient’s quality of life (QoL), therefore it is necessary to improve the knowledge of its pathogenesis and lead the decision-making process of specialists. This retrospective study described the 5-years clinical experience of a monocentric Institute regarding Denosumab-related osteonecrosis of jaws cases. The study included all MRONJ cases of oncological and osteometabolic patients administered with Denosumab diagnosed from January 2014 to December 2018 in the Department of Special and Surgical Stomatology, “Ospedali Riuniti”, Ancona General Hospital. Our data showed a higher prevalence of MRONJ in female gender, in breast cancer patients and in subject administered with concurrent chemotherapy. Furthermore, the mandible represents the most affected site, pain was the most symptom complained, and stage 2 was the most common diagnosed. Despite the efficacy of prevention measures, the reduction of long-term bisphosphonates prescription, and the introduction of Denosumab, literature data showed a substantially unchanged number of new cases/year. Thus, it is fundamental to improve the scientific research, reporting any cases of new drugs, to clarify by evidence-based medicine all the controversial aspects of MRONJ.
Mulheres no Choro: A Participação Feminina à Época dos 100 Anos do Gênero
Authors: Amaral Jr José de Almeida
Published: March 2021

Este artigo aborda a histórica questão cultural da participação feminina na arte, mais especificamente no universo do gênero Choro, considerado a primeira música popular urbana instrumental do Brasil. O recorte para a presente análise foi dado sobre o período que abarca o decênio 1973 – 1983 quando, em 1977, comemorou-se o “Centenário do Choro”. Dada a ocasião e a inédita exposição midiática, tornou-se perceptível quanto o espaço de participação da mulher estava reduzido a breves atuações e, mais que isso, como o fato passou incólume, sem indignações, em meio às discussões saídas dos debates pertinentes a efeméride. O significado simbólico dessa naturalidade, dessa desatenção, quanto a deficiência da presença feminina em meio a uma expressão cultural brasileira, revela como as raízes patriarcais e machistas são determinantes e prejudiciais à liberdade das mulheres em sua atuação artística, profissional e como ser humano.

Feeding Food Wastes to Swine
Authors: Westendorf M. L. , Myer Robert O.
Published: March 2021

The feeding of food waste or garbage to swine and other livestock animals is a common practice throughout the world and is often concentrated around metropolitan centers. Food plate waste (formerly referred to as garbage) may be fed to other livestock species, but has most often been used as a source of feed for swine. High disposal costs and fees encourage the feeding of food/plate waste. This document is AS143, one of a series of the Animal Science Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Poultry Litter Feeding Ban: Implications of the 2nd Interim Rule for Animal Feeding
Authors: Hersom Matt , Dubberly Dale , Friend Kelly
Published: March 2021

On January 26, 2004, the FDA issued four interim rules as a result of the first confirmed case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle in the United States. The 2nd interim rule simply stated “will also ban the use of poultry litter as a feed ingredient for ruminant animals.” Issuance of this interim rule has raised concerns in the Florida poultry industry concerning disposal of the poultry litter by-product and in the Florida cattle industry concerning the loss of a low-cost alternative feed source.

Let Your Lawn Tell You When To Water
Authors: Trenholm Laurie E. , Unruh Joseph Bryan
Published: March 2021

Most homeowners over-water their lawns, which may damage or kill the lawn over time. Excess irrigation is one of the major causes of lawn demise and may include problems such as a shallow root system; increased disease, weed, or insect infestation; reduced drought tolerance; increased thatch and excessive growth; and reduced tolerance to other stresses such as shade and soil problems. To avoid over-watering, look for signs that the lawn needs water. This document is ENH63, one of a series of the Department of Environmental Horticulture, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
