The author argues that in light of the recent availability of formerly inaccessible primary sources, the time is right for a scholarly edition of Tárrega’s complete works with state-of-art editorial methods.
"For Andrés Segovia": Francisco de Lacerda’s Suite goivos (1924)
Authors: Rodrigues Pedro
Published: July 2023

Suite goivos by Francisco Lacerda (1869–1934) stands out not only as one of the first examples of symbolist literature for guitar but also as the first work written for guitar by a Portuguese non-guitarist composer. So far, however, it has remained in relative obscurity. In this article, I first explore the suite’s context and history: its origin in meetings and correspondence between Lacerda and the work’s dedicatee, Andrés Segovia; its place among new works commissioned by Segovia from non-guitarist composers; and available manuscript sources for the work. I then argue for the work’s importance as music, highlighting its innovative features, from Lacerda’s use of the guitar to his incorporation of musical symbolist elements. This analysis has enabled a modern performance edition of the suite, allowing it to take its place in the concert repertoire. This article was first published in Portuguese as “‘Para Andrés Segovia’: A Suite goivos de Francisco de Lacerda,” Revista Vórtex (Curitiba) 8, no. 3 (2020). The translation is by Diogo Alvarez.
Rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid foot in physiotherapy
Authors: Curyło Mateusz , Rynkiewicz-Andryśkiewicz Marlena , Ciukszo Agnieszka , Szubski Damian , Kucharska Ewa , Czernicki Jan , Raczkowski Jan W.
Published: July 2023

Rheumatic diseases are not fatal, but they result in shorter life expectancy of the patients suffering from them. This applies to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatic diseases, in which most of all the joint inflammatory process develops with progressive joint damage, are the cause of patients’ disability, prevent patients from working and everyday functioning, also at home, and affect all aspects of social life. The objective of rehabilitation in RA is to relieve pain, reduce or inhibit inflammation, and maintain the proper functioning of the locomotor system while slowing down or ceasing structural lesions in the joints.
Orthotic management in the rehabilitation of children with plano-valgus foot
Authors: Ciukszo Agnieszka , Curyło Mateusz , Kucharska Ewa , Mikos Marcin , Raczkowski Jan W.
Published: July 2023

Plano-valgus foot is a common three-plane deformity that appears at developmental age. It is characterized by the eversion of the calcaneus in relation to the tibia, foot pronation and lowering of the medial longitudinal arch under load. Joint hypermobility and significant body weight are believed to increase the prevalence of plano-valgus foot at all ages. There is no consensus on the proper management of flat feet. This disagreement is primarily due to the fact that there is no clear-cut approach to distinguishing pathological or physiological flat feet and to determining who needs treatment. One of the methods of supporting foot correction is the use of orthopaedic equipment in the form of shoe insoles or SMO/RING orthoses. The introduction of repositioning in the lower ankle joint is intended to restore the natural foot support system and to reduce the compensation at higher levels in the joints of the lower limbs, in the pelvis and torso.

Published: July 2023

A inovação está ganhando espaço em pesquisas acadêmicas e em organizações devido aos seus benefícios para a empresa e para a sociedade. Em empresas de serviços profissionais, a inovação é necessária para manter e conquistar novos clientes, garantindo a competitividade. No entanto, são inúmeros os antecedentes da inovação estudados e poucos artigos abordam mais de um setor nesse modelo de empresa caracterizado pelo conhecimento intensivo. Desta forma, o presente estudo visa agrupar resultados obtidos em pesquisas prévias para fornecer uma visão geral dos antecedentes da inovação em empresas de serviços profissionais em um framework. Para isto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura com artigos empíricos sobre precedentes da inovação. Como resultado, identificou-se 32 fatores antecedentes já fundamentados e testados empiricamente, sendo 11 fatores externos à organização e 21 internos. A partir do framework desenvolvido, pesquisadores podem buscar novas relações a fim de compreender os antecedentes da inovação e gestores podem analisar as fraquezas organizacionais e desenvolver estratégias visando a inovação.

Game-Based Learning: Possibilities of an Instrumental Approach to the FEZ Game for the Teaching of the Orthographic Drawings System Concepts
Authors: Nipo Daniel , Gadelha David , Silva Mirian da , Lopes Andiara
Published: July 2023

Challenges and rewards are integral to the logic of digital games, and through them, users can learn and develop various skills. When games are employed in educational contexts, they can enhance creativity and contribute to students' development. The Game-Based Learning (GBL) methodology is grounded in the use of games in the educational context, whether they are meant for educational or entertainment purposes. This article aims to investigate whether the digital puzzle game called FEZ - which takes place in a three-dimensional scenario where the player interacts through two-dimensional views - can be used for teaching geometry, specifically from the perspective of Descriptive Geometry for learning concepts about the System of Views. To achieve this goal, we analyzed FEZ from the perspective of the Instrumental Approach as an educational resource for teaching concepts of the Orthographic Drawings System. As a result, we identify similar characteristics between the Orthographic Drawings System and the design aspects of the FEZ game that suggest the possibility of using this game as a didactic resource.

Unpacking Preservice Elementary Education Majors’ Pre-Covid Experiences with Instructional Technology: Implications for Post-Covid Technology Use
Authors: Quinlan Catherine L
Published: July 2023

Virtual learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has made the effective use of technology, as a learning tool, more important than it has ever been. One of the challenges within instructional technology courses for preservice elementary education majors was whether or not to train students to use technology as a means to an end or to focus on technology skills. Instructional technology courses could reinforce traditional approaches or encourage higher order thinking or acquisition of twenty first century skills for formal or informal settings. This study explored the pre-Covid inclinations and experiences of undergraduate preservice teachers who engaged in various types of technology that facilitated both the learning of content and the building of technological skills to varying degrees. This basic qualitative exploratory study looked at preservice teachers’ perceptions about their engagement with the technologies and about their own capabilities. The findings show connections that were most salient to the preservice teachers. These pre-Covid pandemic findings have implications for the current state of instructional technology and learning using technology in the post-Covid pandemic era.
RETRACTED: Climate Change and Emerging and Re-Emerging Tropical Infections
Authors: Abie Mekonnen Getnet , Berhe Nega
Published: July 2023

Continual changes in climate have become a globally alarming phenomenon. Evidence showed that temperature is increasing from time to time globally, linked to the growing concentration of atmospheric energy-trapping gases, potentially creating the so-called greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases comprise mainly carbon dioxide, N2O, methane, and other halocarbons. A remarkable upsurge in greenhouse gas levels was noticed around the 18th century, when the industrial era started. Climate change influences the health of humans and animals. The relationship between climate and health has been a subject of study for a very long time; however, the development of modern tools and technologies has led to fascinating annotations glimmering new insights into the role of the environment, including weather and climate, in infectious disease dynamics. Suitable climate and weather situations are required for the persistence, multiplication, distribution, and spreading of disease pathogens, vectors, and hosts. Hence, changes in climate or weather situations may influence transmittable diseases by affecting the pathogens, vectors, hosts, and their living milieu. This chapter highlights the effect of climate change on the emergence and/or reemergence of selected disease models.

Utilization of colpotomy in the mare
Authors: Draheim Peyton , Hopper Richard
Published: July 2023

Colpotomy, or a surgical incision of the vagina, has been used as an approach to urogenital surgery in the mare since the early 20th century. The most common use of this approach is for ovariectomy, though it has also been reported as an approach to the urinary bladder for repair of tears and removal of cystoliths as well as to the uterus to facilitate reduction of a twin fetus via transuterine cranio-cervical dislocation. Advantages of the colpotomy approach include the ability to perform standing surgery (no need for general anesthesia), shortened surgical time, and a reduced postsurgical recovery time. Disadvantages are the blind nature of some procedures performed via colpotomy (i.e., ovariectomy and associated potential complications such as hemorrhage and postoperative evisceration, with the most serious being death of the mare). This manuscript reviews the various reported uses of colpotomy in the mare as well as potential complications.

Authors: Tripathi G. , Deora R.
Published: July 2023

Interactions among soil fauna, litter diversity, soil nutrients andbiochemical properties during litter decomposition in Balanites aegyptiaca (T) basedsilvipasture system of tropical desertic land of India was studied. The system hasCenchurus ciliaris (CC) and Lasiurus sindicus (LS) grasses. Soil organic carbon (SOC),total soil nitrogen (TSN), soil ammonical nitrogen (SAN), soil nitrate nitrogen(SNN), soil available phosphorous (SAP), soil respiration (SR) and soildehydrogenase activity (SDA) were determined in litter decomposing soil. Faunalassociation and litter decomposition were maximum in T+LS litter. The faunalpopulation and litter decomposition were significantly (P < 0.001) higher insidethe canopy of tree and at 5 cm depth. SOC, TSN, SNN, SR and SDA were significantly(P< 0.05) greater in the mixture of tree and grass litters than tree litter alone. TSN,SAN, SNN, SAP, SR and SDA were significantly (P< 0.05) higher under the canopyzone. However, SOC was significantly (P< 0.05) higher at surface and minimum at5 cm. A positive and significant correlation among litter-associated fauna, litterdecomposition, chemical and biochemical properties during decompositiondemonstrated the interacting effects of fauna on functional aspects of soil inBalanites aegyptiaca based silvipasture system. Therefore, the strategy may beadopted for decomposition of litters and improvement of soil systems employingpotentials of below ground biological resources.

Next three groups (4-6) of birds weresubjected to stimulatory photoperiod (15L:9D), and received olive oil (0.1 ml), 10and 50 ìg TP (Testosterone propionate) per bird on alternate day respectively. Intotal, fifteen injection were made. Groups (1-3) were transferred to stimulatoryphotoperiod (15L:9D) after 60 days. Body mass, testis volume, plumageregenerations, primary flight feathers and body molts also studied in thisexperiment. Observations were made at the beginning, fortnightly and end of the30 day experiment.The results of current study demonstrate the effect of TP on the testes,body weight, body molts, primary flight feathers and plumage regeneration inbrahminy myna. Brahminy myna placed on 9L:15D did not induced testis growthtill 60 days after that photoperiod of 9L:15D transferred to 15L:9D then the testisvolume increased significantly and this clearly suggest that brahminy mynaswere not sensitive to short photoperiod (non stimulatory photoperiod) and asexpected, 15L:9D showed testicular response till 60 days then suddenly decreasedand this can be taken to suggest that brahminy myna are a long day species andthis study did not show an effect of prior treatment of testosterone hormone onphotoperiodic induction of testicular growth

Authors: DWIVEDI RAMENDRA KUMAR , TRIPATHI PREM NARAYAN
Published: July 2023

Growth of fishes means a change in length or weight or bothwith increasing age. Growth is generally an increase in size due toconversion of the food matter into the building matter of the body bymeans of the process of nutrition. The rate of growth varies to a largeextent among fishes as these are cold blooded. It varies from speciesto species. It may vary for the same fish from different localities orfor the same individual at different seasons (temperature etc). Also,different parts of the body or even different organs have differentrates of growth.Fishes continue to grow practically throughout theirlife (indeterminate growth). However, in extreme old age fish’s growthis extremely slow. Thus, for many fishes the growth curve at first riseup slowly with an increasing slope, representing an increasing rate ofgrowth. In the remainder part, the curve rises with a decreasing slope,representing decline in the rate of growth. The point at whichdeaceleration occurs, i.e. there is a change from an increase to adecreasing rate, is called the point of inflection. The increase in rateof growth reaches its maximum at the point of inflection.
Impact of Nanomaterials on Earthwoms : A New Threat to Megadrili Resources
Authors: Tripathi G.
Published: July 2023

Nanoscience is a very exciting and useful branch of science, in which, nanoparticles are designed for various purposes. World market for nanomaterials is increasing rapidly and advanced countries are earning a substantial amount from marketing of nanoparticles. But other side of the coin is related to the ill-effects of nanomaterials. Now-a-days nanomaterials are widely and indiscriminately used without realizing their short- and long-term consequences. Applications of nanomaterials may lead to several adverse effects on fauna and flora of the Earth. The disposed nanomaterials contaminate soil system which is the home of various invertebrates including earthworms. They effect metabolism, reproductive potential and life cycle and sometimes lead to death of organisms living beneath our feet. It declines soil sustainability and hampers productivity leading to economic losses. Therefore, no nanomaterial should be used without its impact assessment otherwise we will not be in a position to revert irreparable losses caused by use of nanomaterials

Chlorpyrifos is widely used organophosphate (OP) insecticide in agricultural and domestic applications and possess anti-cholinesterase activity. Fishes are inadvertently exposed to pesticides and their metabolic byproducts through runoff water entering the fish habitat. The present study was carried out to observe short-term (24h, 48h, 72h and 96h) and long-term (7d, 14d, 21d and 28d) effect of chlorpyrifos on serum electrolytes (Ca2+, Mg2+ and Pi) in freshwater air-breathing catfish Heteropneustes fossilis. The concentration of chlorpyrifos for short-term exposure was kept at 1.56 mg/l (75% of 96 h LC50) and 0.52 mg/l (25% of 96 h LC50) for long-term. Fishes exposed to sublethal concentrations for short-term (24h, 48h, 72h and 96h) and long-term (7d, 14d, 21d and 28d), exhibited hypocalcaemia, hypophosphatemia and hypermagnesaemia. The present study may be used as valuable biochemical parameters to monitor the health of fish, affected by insecticides.

Authors: Chandra R. , Singh R. P. , Prasad B. K.
Published: July 2023

In order to utilize biotechnological approaches for the improvement of B. juncea, a high frequency reproducible protocol for complete plantlet regeneration is required. With this aim cotyledon and plumule explants derived from 5 day old seedlings of five different cultivars of B. juncea were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.2 mg/l IAA. Varuna exhibited significantly higher frequency (85%) of shoot regeneration than other genotypes, whereas RH 30 exhibited more number of shoot regeneration per explant but the frequency of shoot regeneration in this variety was poor than that of Varuna. The explants, cotyledon and plumule from Varuna produced the highest frequency (75% and 95%) of shoot regeneration, whereas both the explants from RH 30 produced highest number of shoots per explant. It is clear that different genotypes and explants have different potential for frequency of shoot regeneration as well as number of shoot regeneration per explant.

Authors: Kumar Nikhil , Kumar Namita
Published: July 2023

With the increase of parasitoid density the number of emerging offspring increases upto four parasitoids, then shows a tendency towards stabilisation. The rate of multiplication is maximum with one parasitoid on 50 hosts. The rate of multiplication has an inverse relationship with the parasitoid density. This is the most significant trend exhibited during this study. The fact that more parasitoids have a lower rate of multiplication shows the existence of intraspecific competition amongst the parasitoid.

On S—3 Like Five-Dimensional Finsler Spaces
Authors: Tiwari S K , Rai Anamika
Published: July 2023

In 1977, M. Matsumoto and R. Miron [1] constructed an orthonormal frame for an n−dimensional Finsler space called ‘Miron frame’. M. Matsumoto [2,3] proved that in a three-dimensional Berwald space, all the main scalars are h−covariant constants and the h−connection vector vanishes. He also proved that in a three-dimensional Finsler space satisfying T−condition, all the main scalars are function of position only and the v−connection vector vanishes [2, 4]. M. K. Gupta and P. N. Pandey [5] proved that in an S− like four-dimensional Berwald space satisfying T−condition, all the main scalars are constants and the h− and v−connection vector vanish. The purpose of the present paper is to generalize these results for an S − 3 like five-dimensional Finsler space.
