Historia de la Escuela Normal de Paraná (1871-1969)
Authors: Rodríguez Laura Graciela
Published: October 2022

La Escuela Normal de Paraná fue la primera institución normalista de nivel nacional fundada en el país por iniciativa del presidente Domingo F. Sarmiento. A lo largo de siete capítulos, se analizan casi cien años de trayectoria (1871 a 1969) y las gestiones de los diecisiete directores (catorce varones y tres mujeres) que pasaron por un establecimiento que fue central para la historia argentina, en tanto formó a los primeros docentes que fueron a trabajar a todas las provincias. Esta Normal, en varios aspectos, resultó pionera y tuvo un derrotero diferente a las demás. Fue la primera en establecer la enseñanza mixta en el nivel medio, tener un Jardín de Infantes y un Profesorado de nivel inicial. También recibió la mayor cantidad de maestras norteamericanas que llegaron a la Argentina en el siglo XIX. Además, en este libro se relata en qué sentido esta escuela se vio atravesada por los grandes acontecimientos del siglo XX, como los sucesos de la Reforma Universitaria, las luchas entre radicales personalistas y antipersonalistas, el crecimiento de grupos nacionalistas antisemitas, los enfrentamientos entre peronistas y antiperonistas, y las disputas por la enseñanza laica o libre a fines de la década de 1950.

Superhydrophobic anticorrosion layers of various thicknesses were deposited onto low carbon steel. The layer is comprised of MnO2/Polystyrene nanocomposite with a hierarchical structure. AFM imaging of the nanocomposite illustrated a very rough surface with rms roughness of 109 nm. A polarization method was applied to measure the corrosion potential and corrosion current by using a potentiostat device. Two corrosive solutions were utilized in this study (NaCl & HCl). Strong concentrations of 1M HCl and 5000ppm NaCl were used in this work. The results revealed that the nanocomposite exhibits better corrosion inhibition after 24h immersion time in NaCl compared to HCl, where the corrosion current density is 0.56 μA/cm2 in NaCl against 24.3 μA/cm2 in HCl. The uncoated sample presented a higher corrosion current density after 24h immersion time with values of 14.4 μA/cm2 and 83.6 μA/cm2 in NaCl and HCl, respectively. Moreover, the ultrathin layers of the nanocomposite demonstrated better corrosion inhibition than the relatively thicker layers. This result was elucidated by the peeling effect of the thick samples. Immersion time was also considered in this study by leaving the samples over a course of 30 days in the solution and performing the measurements for every 10 days’ span. The activation energy of the surface was determined using Arrhenius method by varying the solution temperature during measurements. Corrosion protection efficiency showed excellent results with up to 96.1% in NaCl solution. Pitting potential was also determined in this work.

A study was carried out during 2016–17 at Research Farm of the Department of Forestry, CCS Haryana AgriculturalUniversity, Hisar, Haryana to assess the effect of Eucalyptus planting geometry (17 m × 1 m × 1 m, 6 m × 1.5 m, 3 m× 3 m and devoid of trees, i.e. control) on soil micronutrients (zinc, iron, manganese, and copper) at the soil depths of 0–15, 15–30, 30-60 and 60–90 cm. The results showed that the different planting spacing of Eucalyptus, soil depths, and their interactions on micronutrients were significantly different and these were decreased with increasing the soil depth. The DTPA extractable micronutrient Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu were in the range 0.8-1.3, 5.1-6.7, 6.8-8.1, and 2.6-3.1 mg/kg respectively. The soil micronutrient content decreased under a wider spacing agroforestry system but the maximum reduction was found under control treatment when compared with closer spacing (3 m × 3 m). The increase in micronutrient availability in soil due to the influence of Eucalyptus tereticornis was more in the surface (0-15 cm) than in subsurface soil (15-30, 30-60, and 60-90 cm) layers.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual herbaceous plant and suffers from different fungal, bacterial andviral diseases of which stem gall caused by Protomyces macrospores is one among them. The disease appears in theform of tumour like swellings of leaf veins, leaf stalks, peduncles, stems and on fruits. The test pathogen was isolatedfrom infected stem and seeds and pure culture of the fungus was obtained on potato dextrose agar enriched with yeastextract medium. The colour of colony was creamy white initially which later turned light brown. Morphologicalcharacters comprising chlamydospores were studied which were yellowish brown, spherical or globose to oval,single-celled, smooth and measured 40-80 Î¼ in diameter. For molecular characterization, genomic DNA was isolatedusing standard procedures and a region of the nuclear rDNA gene containing the internal transcribed spacer regionswas amplified from the genomic DNA. Phylogenetic tree showed that isolated strain A clustered close to Protomycesinouyei with 62% similarity only. Based on morphological characteristics, the isolated fungus was identified asProtomyces macrosporus but on the ITS sequences comparisons, strain A was similar to Protomyces sp. Pathogenicitytests showed that crushed powder of infected seed added to soil was better in disease development over mycelialsuspension and the symptoms of the disease appeared in 42.5 days.

Insect population studies were conducted to estimate the relative population abundance of sucking insect-pests on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in relation to nutrition management and weather parameters at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India during rabi 2014-15 and 2015-16. The lowest and the highest aphid, jassid and whitefly populations were recorded with recommended dose of manures and fertilizers (T1-RDMF), and the unfertilized control (T10), respectively during 46th to 51st Standard Meteorological Week (SMW). Seasonal fluctuation of insectpest- infestation revealed that the weather parameters influenced the insects population. The aphid population was the lowest (0.27/plant) during 46th SMW and it increased with advancement in the crop growth stage with its highest population (3.43/plant) during 52nd SMW. Contrary to the aphid population, the highest populations of jassid (2.89/ plant) and whitefly (2.23/plant), irrespective of the nutrition treatments, were recorded during 47th SMW, and decreased with advancement of the crop-growth stage with the lowest population (0.49 jassid and 0.55 whitefly/plant) being during 52nd SMW. A negative correlation was observed between the aphid population, and the maximum-(Tmax) and minimum-temperatures (Tmin) and sunshine hours (SH) but the positive correlation with relative humidity (RH). However, the trends for the jassid and whitefly populations were the opposite.

The study was carried out to know the mechanism of less or no flowering in well maintained high-density planted (CHDP) guava (Psidium guajava L.) orchard (2 m Ã— 2 m) during 2014 and 2015. Biochemical parameters determine flowering and fruiting in high-density planted guava orchard of 15 years old. Maximum length (17.48 cm), diameter (3.68 mm) of shoot and number of leaves pair (5.49) per shoot were found in flowering plants; highest leaf area (32.20 cm2) was observed in non-flowering plants. With respect to biochemical parameters, total chlorophyll (5.05 mg/g), chlorophyll a (3.02 mg/g), chlorophyll a (2.03 mg/g), total sugars (15949.57 Î¼g/g dry wt.), starch in leaves (2361.50 Î¼g/g dry wt.) and roots (2024.45 Î¼g/g dry wt.) were highest in matured leaves of flowering plants. Whereas, mature leaves of flowering plants of guava showed lowest Chlorophyll a: b ratio (1.58 mg/g). Anthocyanin content was highest (0.052 mg/g) in the immature leaves of flowering plants. Similarly, Chlorophyll b content in leaf was found less (0.72 mg/g) in the non-flowering plant compared to a flowering plant. Allahabad Safeda and L-49 cultivars are better among the four cultivars in such phenomenon of in bearing level of old guava orchard. Relevant information got in the study of Chlorophyll b, which indirectly plays important role in flowering and fruiting. Chlorophyll b increases the range of light, which is used by the plant for producing energy.

Published: October 2022

The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) is the most destructive insect pest of cruciferous crops throughout the world. The use of trap crops, pheromones, botanicals, bio-agents and safer insecticides for pest control promises to be an important integrated approach in the management of DBM and other lepidopteran pests which helps to solve major environmental and human health problems. A study was designed and carried out at Ramanagara and Bengaluru Rural district during 2017-18 and 2018-19 to understand the effectiveness of IPM module, recommended practices and farmers' practice in cabbage fields.The results revealed that 15 days prior to cabbage transplanting, sowing of Indian mustard (2 rows after 25 rows of cabbage) attracted DBM moths for oviposition, 7 days after transplanting (DAT), installation of WOTA-T traps @ 5 Nos./acre helped in monitoring and mass trapping of DBM moths. The spraying of botanicals, bioagents and safer insecticides as per the schedule, viz. neem soap (10 g/l) after 15 DAT, Spinosad 2.5 SC (1.25 ml/l) after 18 DAT, Emamectin benzoate 5SG (0.5 gm/l) after 21 DAT, Bt (Dipel) (1 g/l) after 35 DAT, Chlorfenapyr 10 SC (1.5 ml/l) after 50 DAT, Spinosad 2.5 SC (1.25 ml/l) after 65 DAT and Emamectin benzoate 5 SG (0.5 gm/l) after 80 DAT, effectively reduced the damage caused by DBM in cabbage fields. The pest incidence in IPM module was negligible resulted in fetching higher yields, quality heads and better returns compared to farmers' practice. Farmers can adopt IPM module as an alternative to insecticides as it is ecologically safe, economically viable and socially well acceptable.

Published: October 2022

In angiosperms, if high rainfall coincides during the seed development period, hormonal imbalance occurs in seeds (ABA and GA), this hormonal imbalance leads to escape the dormancy, and thereby, seeds germinate on the plant itself. This unusual kind of germination is known as vivipary and based on strength of the developed embryo to break through the seed coat, two kinds of vivipary have been categorized, viz. True vivipary and Cryptovivipary. Certainly, this kind of germination will make a way for loss in seed quality. Nevertheless, vivipary is the reproductive strategy adopted by mangroves and this advantageous character can be helpful in the greening of barren lands.

This study seeks to investigate the impact of globalization on economic development in Nigeria. The study employed annual time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria, World Development Indicators and Swiss Institute of Technology. Economic globalization was represented by globalization index while economic development was proxy by per capita GDP. Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) estimation technique was used to establish the long run relationship among the variables, while granger causality was used to establish the direction of causality. It was revealed that long run relationship exist among the variables in the estimated model. The granger causality results showed a unidirectional causality between globalization and economic development. The bound test results showed that a long run relationship exists among the variables in the estimated equation. This signifies the relevance of these variables in promoting economic development in Nigeria. The study recommends that; government should endeavor to maintain a stable and favorable macroeconomic policy that will drive domestic investment in the economy and which will make doing business in Nigeria a success towards a more vibrant economy that can compete favourably in the international arena. Effort should equally be made by government to encourage the inflow of foreign direct investment into the country. The monetary authorities should aim at maintaining a single digit inflation rate through the use of appropriate monetary policy tools as well as utilize industrial capacity in order to enhance foreign exchange inflow into the manufacturing sector of the Nigerian economy

This study seeks to investigate the relationship between diversification and economic development in emerging market economies, using the Nigerian scenario. The study employed annual time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria and World Development Indicators. Economic diversification was represented by diversification index while economic development was proxy by per capita GDP. Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) and granger causality estimation techniques were used for the analysis. It was revealed that long run relationship exists among the variables in the estimated model. The granger causality results showed that no bidirectional causality was found between diversification index and per capita GDP. The bound test results showed that a long run relationship exists among the variables in the estimated equation. This signifies the relevance of these variables in promoting economic development in Nigeria. The study recommends that; the government should diversify the economy from crude oil to overcome export instability or the negative impact of terms of trade; and there should be prudent government spending and conducive and enabling environment for both the growth of other important sectors and improved domestic investment, and exports from sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, textile as well as minerals and steel should be encouraged; monetary authorities should enhance the formulation of appropriate monetary policies that will help to control inflation and exchange rate for sustainable economic development; and exchange rate should be stabilized through the use of appropriate monetary policy tools as well as support export diversification programmes in order to diversify into the core sectors of the economy and stem the tide of the mono-product syndrome

Marginal fields are pivotal to wealth creation and indigenous participation in the oil and gas industry. Despite the potential role of marginal fields in economic growth, indigenous operators are confronted with financing fields development. This study examined the relationship between capital structure and performance of producing marginal oil fields in Nigeria. Ten fields operated by five companies were empirically investigated between 2011 and 2021. Firm’s performance indicators are accounting-based measurement namely, Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Capital structure measures are equity, long term debt and short-term debt. Panel Corrected standard errors regression technique was employed to analyse time series cross sectional data. Findings indicate that there was a significant positive relationship between equity and performance of Marginal fields in Nigeria. These corroborate Pecking order theory that firms use retained earnings first, then debts. Long term debt and short-term debt show negative relationship with marginal field operators’ performance. This could be attributed to the high cost of borrowing in Nigeria and the unwillingness of local banks to grant loans without adequate collateral.

Published: October 2022

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) among pharmacy professionals is increasing. Narcotic Precursor Reporting System (SIPPRE) is one of these technologies and can be used to supervise the distribution of narcotic precursors. The aim of this study is to investigate the predicting factors that influence the intention to use SIPPRE among pharmacy professionals. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to shape the theoretical foundation for this study comprising perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and intention to use. A quantitative approach was applied, using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, adapted from previous studies. The participants for this study comprised 157 pharmacy professionals. The Results obtained using structural equation modeling indicated that pharmacy professionals perceived SIPPRE as an easy to use and useful system, and they favored its use in the future. In addition, perceived ease of use and usefulness significantly influenced attitudes toward the system. Apart from that, attitude toward use had a positive relationship with intention to use SIPPRE among pharmacy professionals. Surprisingly, perceived usefulness had a negative correlation with an intention to use. Overall, the TAM is a valid model to help explain pharmacy professional's intention to use SIPPRE. The results of this study provided useful insights for healthcare agencies to recognize the key elements that could improve the narcotic precursor reporting management.

Published: October 2022

At the beginning of the launch of LPG as an alternative fuel to replace kerosene, many cases of LPGexplosions were caused by gas leaks which were not detected early on. This had created 'anxiety' in the community so that people were reluctant to use LPG due to lack of socialization, lack of public knowledge about dealing with gas leaks and no tools for early detection of gas leaks. Currently, LPG (Liquid Petroleun Gas) in the form of methane gas is widely used by the community after the government launched an energy conversion campaign. Practically today, kerosene has been abandoned by many people and replaced by LPG. The method used in this study uses the PXP (Personal Extreme Programming) method with single programming. Complete collection of information data allows developers to find views to create a software so that it can be right on target. This stage requires several steps, planning, design, coding, system testing. The goal is to produce a useful tool which can be used by the wider community. This tool can detect gas leaks precisely if the sensor is heated and the gas source is not mixed with free air. This tool can send a signal in the form of an SMS warning automatically and can sound an alarm so that people around who hear the alarm can know.
