Published: July 2021

Human and wildlife conflicts pose conservation challenges for several charismatic species worldwide. Given their close long-standing interactions with wildlife, indigenous communities set an interesting framework to identify factors establishing these relationships. The first step is to account the perceptions and symbolisms of indigenous communities to define and complement conservation efforts. We used multi-temporal and multi-criteria analyses to assess species habitat suitability of three large carnivores (jaguar, puma, and coyote), and quantified the overlap with the Mixtec and Zapotec indigenous territories in southern Mexico. We observed a positive and proactive relationship between indigenous communities’ self-identification and a high species habitat suitability for the conservation of these large carnivores in the Sierra Norte, Sierra Sur, Coastal, and Mixtec regions. Given that most of these areas occur outside natural protected areas, the inclusion of indigenous communities in the management and planning of their territory is crucial for preserving their ethnocentric vision and ensuring long-term conservation of these charismatic large carnivores and their habitat.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this 30-day feeding study was to elucidate the changes, correlations, and mechanisms caused by the replacement of the starch content of the AIN-93G diet (St) with glucose (G), fructose (F) or lard (L) in body and organ weights, metabolic changes and caecal microbiota composition in rats (Wistar, SPF). The body weight gain of rats on the F diet was 12% less (P = 0.12) than in the St group. Rats on the L diet consumed 18.6% less feed, 31% more energy and gained 58.4% more than the animals on the St diet, indicating that, in addition to higher energy intake, better feed utilisation is a key factor in the obesogenic effect of diets of high nutrient and energy density. The G, F and L diets significantly increased the lipid content of the liver (St: 7.01 ± 1.48; G: 14.53 ± 8.77; F: 16.73 ± 8.77; L: 19.86 ± 4.92% of DM), suggesting that lipid accumulation in the liver is not a fructose-specific process. Relative to the St control, specific glucose effects were the decreasing serum glucagon (–41%) concentrations and glucagon/leptin ratio and the increasing serum leptin concentrations (+26%); specific fructose effects were the increased weights of the kidney, spleen, epididymal fat and the decreased weight of retroperitoneal fat and the lower immune response, as well as the increased insulin (+26%), glucagon (+26%) and decreased leptin (–25%) levels. This suggests a mild insulin resistance and catabolic metabolism in F rats. Specific lard effects were the decreased insulin (–9.14%) and increased glucagon (+40.44%) and leptin (+44.92%) levels. Relative to St, all diets increased the operational taxonomic units of the phylum Bacteroidetes. G and L decreased, while F increased the proportion of Firmicutes. F and L diets decreased the proportions of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. Correlation and centrality analyses were conducted to ascertain the positive and negative correlations and relative weights of the 32 parameters studied in the metabolic network. These correlations and the underlying potential mechanisms are discussed.
Analisis Penanganan Konflik Pembangunan Gereja Baptis Indonesia di Tlogosari Semarang
Authors: Wijayanto Wahyudi Sri
Published: July 2021

The construction of the Tlogosari Church in Semarang, which had issued its 1998 building permit, became a polemic. The residents of Malangsari RT 06 / RW 07 disagreed with constructing a church in the area. On the other hand, the church establishment permit was issued in 1998. The construction of the Indonesian Baptist Church caused the Malangsari community as cheated by the signature of the Tlogosari Indonesian Baptist Church. So, viewed with an analysis of stages of conflict and a timeline that describes the chronology of time before the conflict occurred until, after the conflict ended, the resolution of the conflict could occur through mediation, which was carried out several times. The end of the mediation led by the head of the Semarang National Human Rights Commission was that the City Government gave a building permit (IMB) to the Tlogosari Indonesian Baptist Church to rebuild.
Islamic Economics as a Science and System

Published: July 2021

Understanding a thing as a whole must begin with understanding the nature of science itself. Islamic economics as a science has received rejection from western scientists because of its value-free nature. However, Islamic economics is not entirely a doctrine and normative assumptions, because the Qur'an and hadith as the main legal basis for Muslims contain many descriptive assumptions that can be verified by modern science. Using a qualitative approach and conducting ontological studies to understand Islamic economics better, it is deemed necessary to see Islamic economics as a system that is full of spiritual values without neglecting the material values contained in this research. being the basis of Islamic economics contains many descriptive arguments that can be proven by modern science.
Political Marketing of Stream by Candidates through Facebook in the 2018 Regional Election of East Java
Authors: Hidayah Arina Rohmatul
Published: July 2021

Previous researches on political marketing found several gaps in terms of content and essence as a process of political exchange and interaction. Based on this, the researcher aims to actualize the essence of the basic theory or concept of political marketing into the 2018 regional election of East Java through the use of social media as an interactive media. For the content aspect, researcher selected political stream as a society cultural system. It considered as one of the determining aspects for voter preferences, especially in East Java.  Qualitative approach with the content analysis method conducted for this research by applying political marketing theories and the political stream concepts from Clifford Geertz. The result of this research revealed that political stream also revolves around the political elite. Each candidate tries to display some stream characteristics that are considered familiar by the public to increase redundancy or message certainty. In this case, Gus Ipul-Puti is considered to be stronger and more varied than Khofifah-Emil. However, from public reaction, not all of the political streams conveyed can be clearly captured by the users. This occurred because there are some cultural differences between the message sender and it’s receiver. Nevertheless, the implications of this research can be used as a benchmark of how to utilize political stream effectively in order to get a positive response from the public. Then, it also can be literacy medium to recognize the cultural symbols raised in political contestation in Indonesia.

Published: July 2021

Plastic waste is a problem that almost exists in all countries. This problem arises because of the lack of facilities that can handle the plastic waste. Suroboyo Bus is an innovation for this problem because Suroboyo Bus uses plastic bottles as payment. The purpose of this research is to predict the percentage contribution of Suroboyo Bus in handling plastic waste. The Fourier series estimator performs well for data modeling with seasonal trend patterns. This paper examines two approaches to the Fourier series. The difference between the approaches is the inclusion of the phi (π) function in the model. The result shows the goodness of fit criterion model with π function are for and 0,08% for MAPE whereas the fit criterion model without π function is 100% for and 0,07% for MAPE. In conclusion, the Fourier series model without the π function is better because the Fourier series model without the π function is more satisfy the goodness of fit criteria than the Fourier series model with the π.

Published: July 2021

The condition in which an individual is affected by TB and HIV/AIDS in his body is called a TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection. This research aims to minimize the populations of TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection with a minimum expenditure on medical expenses, that means minimizing the objective’s function ( ) or purpose function. In this research, modification of the model was carried out by adding the treatment population for HIV patients with ARV ( ). The population used was 11 classes with the use of three controls including treatment for individuals with latent TB ( ), active TB ( ), and HIV ( ). After performing numerical simulation using the forward backward fourth order Runge-Kutta, the results show that scenario 7 is the best scenario in controlling the spread of TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection because it resulted a minimum  value of 1401,44. This means that providing the treatment for individuals with latent TB, active TB, and HIV in tandem can reduce the populations of TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection in the minimum treatment cost.

Published: July 2021

Meskipun Politik Etis menjanjikan modernitas Eropa yang mencerahkan namun ongkos dari kebijakan tersebut akhirnya juga dibebankan kepada pribumi yang notabene jarang merasakan dampak kolonialisme. Penerapan pajak perorangan (belasting) kemudian direspon masyarakat Hindia dengan pemberontakan. Dalam hal ini Perang Kamang (1908) dapat dipahami sebagai kesumat atas kebijakan simbolik pemerintah kolonial. Peristiwa pemberontakan berlatar Melayu pada peralihan abad XX tersebut tersaji dalam Sitti Nurbaya, sebuah roman yang bercorak melodrama sentimentil. Dengan memanfaatkan teori sosiologi sastra Swingewood diketahui roman modern pertama berbahasa Melayu Hindia tersebut menyajikan ketegangan antara manusia modern Samsulbahri dan manusia tradisional Datuk Meringgih. Duel mereka menandai goncangan yang tak terelakkan dalam dunia Melayu yang tengah menyongsong modernitas bikinan kolonial. Senjakala kebudayaan Melayu yang segera digantikan pranata Eropa digambarkan melalui ketegangan antargolongan dalam menempatkan adat Melayu konteks sosial-historis.
Nasionalisme, Cinta, dan Kemurnian Etnik: Pertentangan Adat dalam Novel-novel Pasca-Kemerdekaan
Authors: Khairani Rosyadah
Published: July 2021

Tulisan ini mengetengahkan ihwal pertentangan adat dalam Raumanen karya Marianne Katoppo dan Memang Jodoh karya Marah Rusli. Meskipun pidato Proklamasi (1945) Sukarno-Hatta dianggap sebagai momentum peleburan pelbagai etnis di Nusantara dalam sebuah komunitas bernama Indonesia, rupanya konflik primordial khas novel Balai Pustaka terebut tidak lantas dapat didamaikan begitu saja. Jamak masyarakat Indonesia masih memegang teguh nilai dan susila primordial sehingga integrasi menjadi pekerjaan rumah yang senantiasa menantang dan tak kunjung usai. Tulisan ini bertendensi untuk mengungkapkan persoalan kolosal, yakni pernikahan (baca: percintaan) dengan latar belakang perbedaan adat dalam novel-novel pasca-kemerdekaan sebagai representasi dari gamangnya situasi integritas kebangsaan Indonesia. Raumanen dan Memang Jodoh sebagai objek material penelitian akan dibahas untuk melacak bagaimana pernikahan beda adat menjadi gambaran riil seputar dinamika kebangsaan kiwari. Dengan menggunakan kerangka konseptual ala Swingewood, tulisan ini menyimpulkan Raumanen menggambarkan kehidupan sosial masyarakat yang berbeda suku berpotensi menghilangkan garis keturunan suatu bangsa melalui pernikahan beda adat. Sedangkan Memang Jodoh menceritakan pernikahan yang dilatari perbedaan suku harus ditebus dengan hilangnya previlise aristokrat tradisional. Namun pengorbanan tersebut dianggap sepadan karena lembaga pernikahan adalah tentang kebahagiaan batin pelakunya.
Le Flâneur du tiers monde: diri, liyan, dan kisah perjalanan dalam Bon Voyage Monsieur Le Président!
Authors: Kurniawati Novi , Atikurrahman Moh
Published: July 2021

Tidak seperti subgenre lain, sastra perjalanan hendak menegaskan narasi yang dibangunnya berasal dari persepsi objektif. Selain untuk meyakinkan pembaca, sastra perjalanan ingin menekankan jika acuannya adalah realitas, bukan fiksi atau fabrikasi semata. Tulisan ini bertendensi untuk menganalisis motif perjalanan dalam Bon Voyage Monsieur Le Président. Cerita tersebut merupakan salah satu cerita perjalanan Gabriel García Márquez yang terkumpul dalam Douze Contes Vagabonds. Dua belas cerita dalam kumpulan tersebut berkisah tentang pengalaman melancong seseorang dari Dunia Ketiga ke Dunia Pertama, Eropa. Dalam konteks yang lebih luas, akar dari catatan perjalanan berasal dari representasi Barat atas Timur sebagai travel report dalam aktivitas kolonialisme Eropa. Sehingga kisah-kisah perjalanan dalam Douze Contes Vagabonds harus dipahami sebagai counter-travel, karena subjek pencerita (pelancong/flâneur), yang menggunakan kelana sebagai modus operandi, berasal dari Dunia Ketiga.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kosheleva O. D. , Prashcheruk N. V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the four episodes of reading the passages from Holy Scripture in the F. M. Dostoevsky’s novels. These include The Raising of Lazarus in “Crime and Punishment”, Messages to the Angel of the Laodocian Church in “Demons” and the Marriage at Cana in “The Brothers Karamazov”. There are several shared characteristics of the content and structure in noted episodes. First of all, there are always heroes-who-read and heroes-who-listen. Secondly, while heroes-who-read are usually having a strong faith, heroes-who-listen are facing the crisis of belief. Finally, each passage is meant to be an allegory, by which the readers are trying to point a new way in life for listeners, and motivate them to work on themselves instead of giving them ready answers. In conclusion, all of the above-mentioned episodes could be summarized into a metaplot of reading in the F. M. Dostoevsky’s novels.

Published: July 2021

The article examines the author’s hypothesis about the use of santai ceramics in the “magnificent” burials of the Tang era in China in connection with the very nature of ceramics, and not just their decor or symbolism. The influence of Buddhist and Taoist ideas during the Tang period leads to strengthening of the interpretation of life and death as an integral process that does not have internal oppositions.
Interiors of Moscow Palaces of the Second Half of the XVIIth Century: Experience of Inventory-Taking
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Baranova S. I.
Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to investigation of the palaces’ interiors of the XVIIth century. No genuine palace interior of that time has survived in Russia; therefore, inventories of palaces including the wooden palace which was built in Kolomenskoye are analysed. The goal of the study is to check the possibility of interiors’ visualization on the basis of detailed criss-cross study of documents, pictures and authentic items presented by archaeological findings from museum collections. Both published as and unpublished materials were considered by author. The earlier attempts of such reconstructions took place and were successful in their own ways. However, the researchers restricted themselves with the information contained in written sources. A critical analysis of those attempts is provided. In general, involvement of the survived items and rare pictures as analogues used for saturation of interiors of the 17th and the 18th centuries with items was tested as early as in 2010s when interiors in a copy of the palace in Kolomenskoye were restored in nature. Such experiment in itself demands understanding and scientific substantiation, that is related to a source study task. One of the way to solve it is to evaluate the very possibility of forming of complete inventories of the modern type for palaces’ interiors of the XVII-early XVIII centuries.

Published: July 2021

Resumen: El intercambio de información entre los aplicadores de intervenciones en salud mental es esencial para garantizar la efectividad de la implementación de programas. El objetivo fue examinar cómo influyen factores individuales y grupales en el intercambio de información entre los implementadores de un programa de intervención psicosocial dirigido a víctimas de la guerra en Colombia. Se desarrolló un diseño exploratorio transversal. Fueron entrevistados 18 psicólogos, 22 trabajadores sociales, 10 promotores comunitarios y una enfermera. Se empleó el índice E-i y la visualización de vínculos interclase e intraclase. No existe tendencia homofílica en el intercambio de información entre las tres categorías profesionales. El empoderamiento predice las nominaciones recibidas en la red de solicitud de información (β = 0,296, p < 0,006). Ser central en la red de preferencia es el principal predictor de la recepción de peticiones de información (β = 0,562, p < 0,0001). Los profesionales empoderados y aquellos que intercambian información sobre el proceso de implementación son considerados informantes clave que pueden mejorar la efectividad del programa.

Abstract: Parasites are an important component of the global biomass, having significant roles in several regulatory mechanisms in the ecosystem. Parasitism is one of the most common ecological interactions on the planet. Studies have shown that the helminth fauna of only 8% of amphibian species in Brazil have been studied, and this percentage is lower for the Odontophrynidae family, with only four of the 50 species kown to occur in Brazil having been investigated. Here, we present the helminth fauna of Proceratophrys ararype, an anuran endemic to the “Brejo de Altitude” Chapada do Araripe (Araripe Plateau), northeastern Brazil. The infection parameters analyzed were prevalence, mean intensity of infection and mean abundance of parasites. We used the Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient to check the correlations between the abundance of the parasites with the snout-vent length (SVL) of hosts. To verify the degree of aggregation of parasites in hosts, we used the dispersion index. Out of 40 specimens examined, 19 specimens were infected with at least one parasite. The overall prevalence was 47.5% with a mean infection intensity of 18.93 ± 10.77. The endoparasitic community associated with P. ararype consisted of six species of parasites, with Falcaustra mascula having the highest prevalence (25%). Most parasites had a uniform dispersion index in the hosts and their abundance was unrelated to host size. Here, we also present a compilation of all parasites associated with host species of the genus Proceratophrys from South America. Overall, we found 23 species of parasites associated with five host species (P. ararype, P. appendiculata, P. boiei, P. cristiceps, P. mantiqueira). Of these, two species of parasites (Oswaldocruzia mazzai and Strongyloides sp.) represent new records for the genus Proceratophrys. Our results demonstrate the lack of studies on amphibian helminth fauna and fill an important knowledge gap on the diversity of parasites of Proceratophrys ararype, an endemic frog from the Araripe Plateau, northeastern Brazil.

Resumo Contexto A ultrassonografia vascular é o exame de imagem de escolha para rastreamento inicial da compressão na veia ilíaca comum esquerda, cujo achado assintomático pode ser encontrado em até 25% em algumas casuísticas. Objetivo Identificar, pela ultrassonografia vascular, se há diferença na avaliação da compressão na veia ilíaca comum esquerda em mulheres assintomáticas em decúbito dorsal e ao ortostatismo. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo observacional transversal em 50 mulheres voluntárias, sem sintomas de compressão venosa pélvica. Os parâmetros avaliados pela ultrassonografia vascular em decúbito dorsal e ao ortostatismo foram os diâmetros e as velocidades máximas na veia ilíaca comum esquerda no local do cruzamento com a artéria ilíaca comum direita e antes desse cruzamento, além dos índices de velocidade na veia ilíaca comum esquerda no local do cruzamento. Resultados Foram identificados oito casos de compressão significativa na veia ilíaca comum esquerda na avaliação em decúbito dorsal (16%) e somente dois casos (4%) ao ortostatismo. Os diâmetros na veia ilíaca comum esquerda foram estatisticamente maiores (p = 0,002) no local de cruzamento com a artéria ilíaca comum direita ao ortostatismo, e as velocidades e índices de velocidades foram estatisticamente maiores (p < 0,001) em decúbito dorsal. Não houve identificação de compressão significativa na veia ilíaca comum esquerda em ortostatismo quando os índices de velocidades estavam normais em decúbito dorsal. Conclusão Não houve diferença na detecção de compressão significativa da veia ilíaca comum esquerda ao ortostatismo em relação ao decúbito dorsal; no entanto, o estudo mostrou que pode haver menor compressão anatômica da veia ilíaca comum esquerda em posição ortostática.

Abstract Life-history, geographical barriers, and damming can shape the genetic diversity of freshwater migratory fish, which are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts. We investigated the genetic diversity of Salminus brasiliensis, a long-distance migratory species that is recognized as an important provider of ecosystem services. We implemented microsatellite analyses to assess genetic diversity and simulate future scenarios for evaluating the long-term viability of dammed and non-dammed populations from the Uruguay River. High levels of genetic diversity were detected for all sampled populations. However, effective population sizes were lower in the uppermost river stretches, where the landscape is highly fragmented. Population structure analysis indicated two spatial genetic populations. It is suggested that this genetic structure preserves populations partially isolated by an ancient natural barrier, instead of being a result of the presence of dams. The simulated genetic scenarios indicated that genetic variability of S. brasiliensis populations from upstream dams could collapse over the years, mainly due to the reduction in the number of alleles. Therefore, besides helping to better understand issues related to the influence of dams on the genetic diversity of migratory fish, our results are especially relevant for driving local fishery policies and management actions for the species conservation.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease in the world, and its prevalence is increasing alongside obesity. In United States, NAFLD is already the second leading cause of liver transplantation. The spectrum of the disease ranges from simple steatosis, which has a benign course, to steatohepatitis, which may progress to cirrhosis and its complications. The rising of noninvasive methods for diagnosing and staging non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis decreases the need of liver biopsy, as well as the costs and the occurrence of complications related to it. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the performance of the triglyceride-glucose index to evaluate steatosis, NASH and liver fibrosis in obese patients with NAFLD. METHODS: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Every medical record of patients who were candidates for bariatric surgery at a leading hospital in Southern Brazil were analyzed. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG Index), a method composed only of two simple laboratory tests (serum triglycerides and fasting glucose levels), was performed prior to surgery. The TyG Index performance regarding the anatomopathological findings was evaluated, and the AUROC curve was calculated to evaluate the best cut-off point for diagnosing steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis grade. Also, the NAFLD fibrosis Score (NFS) was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 423 patients were evaluated. The TyG Index with a cut-off point of 8.76 excluded significant simple steatosis (grade 2-3) in obese patients, with 67.6% sensitivity, 65.1% specificity, 46.3% positive predictive value (PPV), 81.8% negative predictive value (NPV), 65.8% accuracy and 0.66 AUROC (P=0.005). In the evaluation of NASH, the TyG Index with a cut-off point of 8.82 excluded significant NASH (grade 2-3) with 57.3% sensitivity, 58.6% specificity, 33.7% PPV, 78.8% NPV, 58.2% accuracy and 0.58 AUROC (P=0.022). When evaluating liver fibrosis, the TyG Index with a cut-off point of 8.91 showed a sensitivity of 61.8%, a specificity of 62.5%, a PPV of 13.8 and a NPV of 94.4% for exclusion of advanced fibrosis (F3-4), with a 62.4% accuracy and 0.69 AUROC (P<0.001). When analyzing the performance of NFS in the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis, the cut-off point <-1.455 excluded advanced fibrosis with sensitivity of 59.4%, specificity of 51%, PPV of 11%, NPV of 92.4% and accuracy of 51.7%. However, the cut-off point of 0.676 to diagnose advanced fibrosis presented sensitivity of 21.9%, specificity of 83%, PPV of 11.7%, NPV of 91.2% and 77.3% accuracy. The AUROC was 0.54 (P=0.480). CONCLUSION: TyG Index did not perform well in the diagnosis of significant steatosis and NASH. However, it was able to exclude advanced fibrosis in obese patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune reaction mostly to wheat gluten. The diagnosis is based on clinical, serological and histological findings in patients ingesting gluten. Cases that the clinical profile indicates CD and the autoantibodies are negative bring so a dilemma for the professional, as the risk of missed the diagnosis or a delay at the same. OBJECTIVE: To show the importance of correct diagnosis of cases with seronegative celiac disease (SNCD). METHODS: Ten cases of SNCD Brazilian patients were retrospectively studied (2013 to 2019). Data of clinical complaints, autoantibodies, IgA serum levels, histological findings and HLA-DQ2/DQ-8 were compiled. Dual-X densitometry, delay at diagnosis, previous autoimmune diseases and family history of CD were also checked. RESULTS: All SNCD patients presented clinical symptoms of CD, with confirmed diagnosis by histological findings of the duodenal mucosa and HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 positivity. All patients had normal IgA levels and negative autoantibodies (IgA-anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysial). Dual-X densitometry detected osteopenia in two women and osteoporosis in two males, all with low levels of vitamin D. Delay diagnostic ranged from 1 to 19 years. Familiar occurrence of CD was reported in 40% of the cases. After one year of gluten-free diet, eight patients refer improve of symptoms, while duodenal biopsies, done in five cases, showed histological improvement. CONCLUSION: Patients who demonstrate the clinical profile of celiac disease with negative serology and normal levels of IgA, especially those who have family members with celiac disease, should be submitted to duodenal biopsies to look for histological findings.

ABSTRACT The Barbados gooseberry crop has agricultural potential, but little information is available regarding cropping practices. More information on weed interference in Barbados gooseberry will support growers to take weed management decisions. The objective of this work was to study initial growth and development of Barbados gooseberry under the interference of weeds. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with five treatments, composed of Barbados gooseberry in competition with four weed species: slender amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), hairy beggarticks (Bidens pilosa), Benghal dayflower (Commelina benghalensis), purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), and a weed-free control, with six replicates. Weed competition led to a decrease in growth and development of Barbados gooseberry reflected in a reduction of up to 40% in yield and 23% in protein content. Additional work must be conducted evaluating these findings under field conditions, using different seedling production and planting techniques potentially affecting these results.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the fresh mass of scarlet eggplant (kg/pl) and the number of leaves of chicory (nºf/pl) in relation to the spacing used by the farmers of the region for both crops. The experiment evaluated these crops under intercropping cultivation system, varying the number of chicory rows between scarlet eggplant rows as well as harvests (cycle of each crop), for intercropping and monocropping systems. The treatments were T1= scarlet eggplant 0.7x1.1 m (monocropping); T2= intercropped scarlet eggplant, 0.7x1.5 m, with four rows of chicory, 0.2x0.2 m between rows; T3= intercropped scarlet eggplant, 0.7x1.1 m, with three rows and chicory, 0.2x0.2 m; T4= intercropped scarlet eggplant, 0.7x1.3 m, with four rows of chicory, 0.2x0.2 m; T5= intercropped scarlet eggplant, 0.7x1.3 m, with three rows of chicory, 0.2x0.2 m; T6= chicory 0.2x0.1x0.4 m in two double rows, 0.2 m between rows, 0.1 m between plants and 0.4 m between double rows in 1.5 m linear area (monocropping) and T7= chicory 0.2x0.3 m with three simple rows in an 1.5-m area (monocropping). The experimental design was of strip blocks, in a 5x16 factorial scheme, consisting of five spacings of scarlet eggplant (monocropping), 1.5x0.7 m, 1.3x0.7 m and 1.1x0.7 m, alternating the number of chicory rows between rows and 16 harvests in time, once a week. For chicory, the design was also in a 6x12 factorial scheme, with six spacings. The spacing 0.2x0.2 m was intercropped with scarlet eggplant, alternating the number of rows and two monocroppings 0.2x0.1x0.4 m in double rows and 0.2x0.3 m with 12 harvests in time, being performed one harvest per week along with the scarlet eggplant. Intercropped scarlet eggplant in spacing 0.7x1.5 m showed higher averages in some harvests followed by spacing 0.7x1.3 m with four chicory rows between rows. Spacings 0.2x0.1x0.4 m and 0.2x0.3 m were the ones which provided the best averages for chicory crop, except for the 5th harvest, in which spacing 0.2x0.2 m consisting of four chicory rows provided the highest average (5.7 leaves/plant). Regardless of monocropping and intercropping arrangement used for chicory the Area Equivalence Index (IEA) was over 1.6.

ABSTRACT It is necessary to use virus-free garlic seeds to reach high bulb yields; however, information is needed on the number of generations that these seeds can be grown in field conditions without decreasing bulb yield and quality due to degeneration. Degeneration is dependent on the production season and locality; thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the degeneration of virus-free garlic cultivars grown in the Semiarid region of the Northeast of Brazil, through three experiments conducted in Portalegre, state of Rio Grande do Norte. Virus-free garlic cultivars were used in the first generation (G1) and second-generation (G2) and cultivars without clonal cleaning (infected) in the third experiment. The experiments were conducted in randomized blocks experimental design, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five cultivars: Amarante, Branco Mossoró, Cateto Roxo, Gravatá, and Hozan. The use of G2 garlic seeds in field conditions is viable, mainly for the cultivars Branco Mossoró and Hozan, which showed lower production losses. However, further evaluations, considering at least four generations, are necessary for these cultivars, since the degeneration level depends on the crop environment.

Aim: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first described in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It has since spread worldwide, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis who also have a confirmed diagnosis of active infection represent a risk group because infections are the second cause of death in this group, followed by immunosuppression caused by the weakening of the innate immunity by uremic toxins. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing haemodialysis who also have a confirmed diagnosis for COVID-19 and its association with short-term outcomes.

Published: July 2021

This study discussed the roles of, and the relationship between, LCC and regions in revitalizing local tourism. The convergence of tourism and aviation has been positively perceived by local and central administrative agencies because the revitalization of local economy via revitalization of local tourism influences improving the local jobs, finance, residents’ lives In particular, aviation plays an important role in the influx of tourists because it connects the bridge between the tourism subjects and objects. Therefore, we approached this study with the ’how and why’ perspective to explore the positive synergy effect between LCC and local tourism. For this purpose, we selected the successful case of Jeju Island and Jeju Air as a research subject. We applied Yin(2014)'s case study methodology and collected data from the relevant literature and press releases from October 2019 to September 2020. Our results showed that Jeju Air's regional airport base reduced the burden of transportation fares and contributed to vitalizing Jeju Island tourism by stimulating tourists' motivation to visit the island with the establishment of infrastructure. Further, we additionally noticed that the beautiful natural environment, which is one of the strengths of Jeju Island, has an interactive role in our framework; that is, for the positive synergy effect between the region and LCC, it is necessary to possess, discover, and nurture tourist attractions in the region. In conclusion, from a long-term perspective of planning and implementation, the region and airlines are required to have a firm commitment and mechanisms for co-prosperity on the premise of this codependency.
Wat kom ná Suid-Afrika se fiskale afgrond?
Authors: Joubert F , Rossouw J
Published: July 2021

Die navorsing gee 'n perspektief op Suid-Afrika se vooruitsigte indien die land by wyse van spreke oor die rand van die fiskale afgrond sou stort. Die definisie van die fiskale afgrond wat in hierdie artikel gebruik word, het betrekking op die punt waar maatskaplike toelaes, rente op staatskuld en staatsdienssalarisse die totale inkomste van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering oorskry. Hierdie kantelpunt is reeds in die 2020/21- fiskale jaar bereik, maar die verwagting is dat dit slegs tydelik van aard is. Daar is dus beperkte ruimte om 'n permanente fiskale krisis af te weer, maar dan moet die salarisrekening van die staatsdiens ingekort word. Terselfdertyd sal die regering meer realisties vir laer ekonomiese groei en dus laer groei in belastinginkomste moet begroot. Die punt waar die fiskale afgrond bereik word, word met behulp van die fiskale afgrondbarometer bereken. Hiervolgens het Suid-Afrika se posisie dramaties verswak oor die afgelope dekade, onder meer omdat staatsdienssalarisse en rentebetalings op staatskuld té vinnig gegroei het. Terselfdertyd het inkomste baie stadiger gegroei weens die inkrimping in Suid-Afrika se potensiële en werklike ekonomiese groeikoerse. Die navorsing oor die fiskale afgrond het 'n impak op regeringsbeleid gehad, maar dit is waarskynlik 'n geval van "té min, té laat". Opsommenderwys kan die belangrikste bydrae van die navorsing beskou word as (i) die insluiting van die frase "fiskale afgrond" in die Suid-Afrikaanse leksikon, (ii) 'n duidelike fokus op die probleem in die burgerlike samelewing, (iii) deursigtige rapportering oor die staatsdienssalarisrekening deur die regering, en (iv) 'n fokus op bestedingsvergelyking met die inkomstekant van staatsfinansies, eerder as die uitgawekant. As Suid-Afrika in gebreke sou bly om 'n fiskale afgrond af te weer, bestaan die risiko dat die land se toekoms sekere elemente van 'n mislukte staat ("failed state") mag insluit. Fondse vir dienslewering sal meer beperk wees terwyl rentebetalings op staatskuld onder druk sal kom, wat tot likiditeitsprobleme by pensioenfondse kan bydra. Die enigste opsie is dus vir die Suid-Afrikaanse regering om 'n fiskale afgrond te vermy.

Peculiarities of the Relationship Between Cultural Policy, Communication and Cultural Worldview
Authors: Basalaeva Oksana G.
Published: July 2021

The article is focused on the issue of determining the key ideological prerequisites and means of forming social consciousness, which cultural policy is based on. The article argues that one of the means that forms the worldview of a society and individuals’ activity in terms of understanding cultural policy is cultural worldview, which acts as a «mediator» and a channel of communication between the state, the scientific community and public consciousness. It has been analyzed that the most important task on the way to achieving the main goals of the state cultural policy is not only broad information about the essence of cultural policy but understanding this essence. As a result, a tendency: «cultural policy – intercultural communication, as an object of cultural policy – cultural worldview, as a means of intercultural communication» has been revealed at the present stage of socio-cultural development. Moreover, it has been substantiated that the patterns of intercultural communication reflect the relations between cultural systems, indicate their internal connections and relationships (the structure of cultural reality) and, thereby, form cultural worldview
