Published: June 2023

La variedad Sanjuanera-151 OMG es una variedad de fibra media con tolerancia al herbicida glifosato (gen cp4 epsps) y a algunas especies de insectos de importancia económica de la familia Lepidopterae (genes cry 1Ac y cry 2Ab), lo que permite obtener beneficios como reducción en el número de aplicaciones de insecticidas, mayor facilidad y flexibilidad para el control de malezas, eliminación de labores de control manual de malezas y beneficios ambientales, como disminución de la erosión del suelo y menores riesgos de contaminación ambiental por derivación de productos químicos. Para la obtención de esta variedad de algodón con características transgénicas, se utilizó el método de retrocruzamiento entre una variedad transgénica (DeltaPine® 143 B2RF) y una línea convencional (LC-151), a través del cual se transfieren los genes de la primera (donadora de genes) a la segunda (variedad de interés). El procedimiento involucró la realización de cuatro generaciones de retrocruzamiento hacia el progenitor femenino LC-151 (RC1, RC2, RC3 y RC4), y dos autofecundaciones que permitieron seleccionar la línea experimental LC-151 BG2RF, la cual fue evaluada en pruebas replicadas de rendimiento, pruebas regionales y pruebas de evaluación agronómica durante cinco años bajo las condiciones del Caribe seco en los departamentos de Cesar y La Guajira. La línea seleccionada se caracteriza por su alto rendimiento (~ 3,0 ton ha-1), adaptación general a las zonas productoras de la subregión del Caribe seco y excelentes características de calidad de fibra para la industria textil nacional.

Cassava is worldwide considered a staple food for over one billion people, so it has great importance for food security. In Colombia, the highest production (45%) of cassava comes from the sub-humid environment witch yield very low. The selection process favors genotypes with high dry matter productivity through either high FRY or high DMC, but it is very dificult to find genotypes that are outstanding simultaneously for both traits. For this, CORPOICA-CIAT established a phenotypic recurrent selection program for cassava.
Influence of liming on Cedrela odorata L. seedlings growth and attack by Hypsipyla grandella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Authors: Pulgarín Díaz John Alexander , Cano Gallego Lucas Esteban , Arcila Cardona Angela Maria
Published: June 2023

Cedrela odorata is one of the most important commercial Neotropical forestry species, harvested mainly from natural forest, what have taken the species to danger of extinction. Its commercial plantation is limited by Hypsipyla grandella attacks, which could reach 100% of individuals in a forest plantation (Figure 1). Inverse relation of available calcium concentration in the soil for C. odorata and attacks of H. grandella had been reported (da Silva et al., 2009). Some studies indicate that calcium and boron addition to the soil has a positive e ect in height growth of Swietenia macrophylla (da Silva Junior et al., 2014); nevertheless, some studies suggest that when growth is high there is an increase in attack probability (Newton et al., 1993). Then some clarity on this subject is required.

Authors: Pulgarin Díaz John Alexander , Pérez Pérez Juliana , Espinel Correal Carlos
Published: June 2023

The eucalyptus snout beetle, Gonipterus spp. are a pest of Eucalyptus stands in the world causing serious economic loses. Gonipterus platensis (Figure 1) was ¬rst reported in Antioquia (Colombia) in 2016, by the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario –ICA (ICA, 2016), threatening more than 60.000 ha planted with eucalyptus around the country. Classical biological control of these species has worked in some countries using the egg parasitoids Anaphes nitens (Girault) and Anaphes inexpectatus Huber & Prinsloo, 1990 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) and complemented with di erent natural enemies (NE) in some countries (Nascimento et al. 2017). A. nitens had been reported with high e cency ¬nding G. scutellatus egg masses reaching a parasitism rate of 80–100% of eggs in North west Spain (Rivera et al. 1999). It is necessary to know Gonipterus platensis NE, including the presence of A. nitens and A. inexpectatus, in local conditions so integrated pest management programs could be designed. This is the ¬rst survey of the NE for G. platensis in Colombia.

Ecological Gaze: An Exploration of Bharati Mukherjee’s The Tree Bride
Authors: Dr. Patil Sangita Sharnappa Dr. Patil Sangita Sharnappa
Published: June 2023

Bharathi Mukherjee is a diasporic writer. Most of her novels focus on assimilation as well as encounter with the East and the West. The Tree Bride also goes in the same line of thought through an amalgamation of historical portrayal which represents the East whereas the colonial narration highlights the West. A per contra account, the article departs from this wider theme and attempts to explore from the perspective of ecological narration. It depicts the picture of the exploitation of nature for the sake of the greed of human beings. To this end, the article attempts to spotlight on the anthropocentric attitude towards nature through a few aspects such as the advancement in science and technology–in the form of bombs–leads to self-destruction, the colonial attitude, and the climate change because of the onslaught on nature which leads to ecological degradation. These are the theoretical underpinnings to analyse the novel.

Published: June 2023

Due to the increasing number of Covid 19 cases in the country, educational institutions adopted various approaches which could cater the students’ needs and abide with the health protocol at the same time. One of these approaches is the blended learning. This study looks into the effect of blended learning to the academic performance of the BS Criminology students. A descriptive research design was utilized to attain the research objectives while a documentary survey was conducted in gathering needed data. The average grade of 126 BS Criminology students who were enrolled in school year 2019- 2020 and 2020-2021 represented the academic performance of the students. The results of the study noted that there is significant difference on the students’ academic performances before and during the implementation of blended learning. The study further showed that BS Criminology students performed better with the traditional learning approach than the blended learning. The test of association revealed that the academic performance of students is significantly associated with the mode of learning. Moreover, it was shown that better performance of the students is associated with traditional learning approach. Hence, this study prompts the administrators and faculty members, especially in the BS Criminology program, to consider strengthening and improving its traditional learning approach design and/or policy into a more constructive and critical discourse for a more meaningful post-pandemic learning experience among students.

Abstract: Skin Cancer Detection using VGG-16 in CNN. Skin cancer is one of the most common and potentially life-threatening forms of cancer, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable success in various computer vision tasks, including medical image analysis. This abstract presents a study on the application of the VGG-16 architecture, a widely used CNN, for the detection of skin cancer. The proposed method involves training a VGG-16 model using a large dataset of dermoscopic images of skin lesions. The dataset comprises both malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) cases, providing a diverse range of examples for the network to learn from. Through a process of supervised learning, the VGG-16 model is trained to recognize patterns and features indicative of skin cancer in these images

Published: June 2023

Community service is a process of self-empowerment for the benefit of society. The community empowerment movement, whatever its form, is part of community service. The problem regarding the large amount of vegetable oil waste for MSME actors both in Indonesia, especially in big cities is getting more complicated. The increasing amount requires immediate handling because it can damage the environment when disposed of carelessly. In this community service activity, the service team involved Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Bandar Lampung. In addition, this dedication also involves foreign university partners, namely the MARA University of Technology (UiTM) in its implementation. This service focuses on the utilization of vegetable oil waste that has been used and then used to produce value-added products such as biodiesel. This award will be held from 8 to 14 October 2022. The purpose of holding this service is how to manage used oil waste resulting from the MSME production process. This is because the waste oil produced is often just carelessly disposed of into the surrounding environment which will certainly have a negative impact on environmental sustainability. Later, when it becomes biodiesel, besides being an added economic value, it will also support environmental sustainability by creating an alternative source of renewable energy. The conclusion from this service is that the participants have the knowledge and ability to process waste vegetable oil into biodiesel.

Published: June 2023

Background: Diabetic polyneuropathy is the most common complication in diabetics, occurring in 50% of all cases. About 10-20% of all diabetics are accompanied by neurological pain, showing a tendency to increase with age. Clinical aspects are very diverse, from mild abnormalities on nerve conduction tests to severe abnormalities in all sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves; however, sensory symptoms usually precede motor symptoms. Patients typically express sensory symptoms, such as positive and negative symptoms, which decrease the quality of life and have marked clinical implications, such as increased morbidity and mortality. Although Western medical drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and narcotic analgesics, are used for diabetic polyneuropathy, a standard treatment has not been established.Case report: A 65-year-old male with paresthesia and pain due to diabetic polyneuropathy was treated with Uchashinki-hwan, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, and Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture for 10 days. We used the Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Scoring System, EuroQol-5 Dimension, and Visual Analog Scale to evaluate symptoms. Subsequently, the Neuropathy Scoring System, EuroQol-5 Dimension, and subjective discomfort improved.Conclusion: The present case report suggests that combined Korean medicine treatment might be an effective treatment for paresthesia and pain with diabetic polyneuropathy. Several follow-up studies should be conducted to clarify the effectiveness of the treatment.

Acidentes de trabalho entre trabalhadoras(es) domésticas(os) sob a perspectiva de gênero, Brasil, 2016 a 2020
Authors: Souza Janaina Oliveira de , Almeida Milena Maria Cordeiro de
Published: June 2023

Trabalhadoras(es) domésticas(os) estão submetidas(os) ao risco de acidentes de trabalho (AT) devido às atividades realizadas e à vulnerabilidade social relacionada à ocupação. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever as diferenças de gênero no perfil epidemiológico dos AT entre trabalhadoras(es) domésticas(os) no Brasil. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de casuística descritivo utilizando notificações dos AT com trabalhadoras(es) domésticas(os) do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan), no período de 2016 a 2020. Dos 13.957 AT registrados para esse grupo ocupacional, foram mais frequentes aqueles com mulheres e homens não brancos, com escolaridade maior que oito anos e trabalhadores formais, embora a maioria desses casos não tenha gerado a Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho. A maioria dos AT aconteceu com mulheres de 40 a 59 anos e homens mais jovens, de 18 a 39 anos. A ocupação de caseiro representou quase a totalidade dos registros de AT entre os homens, enquanto, entre as mulheres, as ocupações mais frequentes foram as de caseira e diarista. Diagnósticos de queda, impacto ou contato com objeto perfurocortante e acidentes de transporte foram os mais comuns. Embora a proporção de registros de AT entre ambos os sexos seja semelhante, os homens apresentam alguns indicadores de maior vulnerabilidade, e a maior formalidade em seus registros indica a invisibilidade das trabalhadoras domésticas mulheres e informais.

Evidence from United Arab Emirates universities on effective human resources policies for employee perceived performance
Authors: Keir Mohammed
Published: June 2023

The current research is to ascertain the effect of human resources (HR) policies and procedures on employees. The study is based on the quantitative method. The employees at the United Arab Emirates universities are the selected audience. Google Forms was used to disperse the survey, where 100 responses were collected in this study. The questionnaire adopted a Likert scale of seven points. Tests such as factor loading, internal consistency, Convergent Validity (AVE), Discriminant validity, Coefficient of determination (R2) and adjusted (R2), Path Coefficient (β), and t-test through ADANCO were conducted. This research shows that performance evaluation of all other variables, such as compensation, promotion practices, training and development, and employee involvement in decisions, has a really beneficial impact on PEP. The current research helps universities to plan the practices of HR and increase the PEP of their teachers. This is because it has the potential to provide professors, academic leaders, and supervisors with fresh perspectives that will aid in the spread of knowledge and the efficient operation of the academic workplace. Employee turnover in UAE government agencies is affected by management style and a lack of employee empowerment, according to the study. There were signs that workers' distaste for centralized leadership influenced their desire to remain with their current employers. Many research papers have been done on this topic in developed countries. However, none of these studies has been accomplished.

In this vein, the purpose of this study is to evaluate small and medium-sized (SME) pharmaceutical firms in southern Vietnam considering their current strategic orientation, development path, and sustanability of competitive advantage. The method used in this research is Sense and Respond (S&R), supported with combination of different tools. The data has been gathered from six companies utilizing two questionnaires: “Manufacturing strategy index (MSI)” and “S&R”. The results show that, all case companies act as Analyzer both in the past and in the future when employing operations strategy. In all case companies, quality found to be the most important competitive priority in the past and future, and the main source of competitive advantage. Furthermore, spearhead technology and knowledge (T&K) found to be the main source of risk in operations strategy and SCA. The Weak Market Test demonstrates that the research results are consistent with the actual situations of the case companies. The research concludes that S&R method works well in evaluating the operative SCA of pharmaceutical SMEs.
La producción de la injusticia socioespacial hacia el pueblo Gitano durante el franquismo: Los barrios de Lo Campano y los Mateos en Cartagena (España)
Authors: Viedma-Guiard Andrés , Álvarez de Andrés Eva
Published: June 2023

62.8% of the Romani population in Spain lives in settlements that are segregated from the urban center or in peripheral neighborhoods, a sign of their historical persecution and discrimination. Anti-Romani sentiment has been territorialized by eliminating autonomy and means of self-production of space, with urban planning and housing policies being a key element in the materialization of their urban segregation, particularly during the Franco regime. Identifying the Romani as a surplus element in urban space led to their expulsion from self-produced housing, relocating them to peripheral social housing neighborhoods. Through the case studies, this article analyzes the Lo Campano and Los Mateos neighborhoods in Cartagena, Spain, the production of socio-spatial injustice against the Romani during Franco's regime, using Nancy Fraser's (1996) definition of social justice, and Giddens' (1994) structuration theory, as an analytical framework. The results indicate that these policies formed the basis of an urban and housing necropolitical exercise against the Romani, identifying them as surplus to the urban space and expelling them from their self-built homes to peripheral social housing.

Over the last 20 years, the constant increase in the influx of Latin American migrants to Antofagasta has entailed occupying the marginal spaces of the city. In view of this, this article looks at the spaces that they mainly inhabit, asking how they have managed to remain and live in these marginal spaces. The methodological approach is comparative and is structured from the narrative of the migrants themselves, analyzing urban configurations and territorial occupation processes. The main findings indicate that their living transforms marginal spaces into migrant places since, on one hand, they form boundaries between the divergent practices of the State and migrant living and, on the other, they define a condition of porosity, understood as a process of articulation, identity recovery, and demand for the right to inhabit the city. Consequently, living on a porous border is transformed into a strategy of resistance.

The author aims to study the major driving forces that affect the operational efficiency of the Indian pharmaceutical industry with special reference to the SME pharmaceutical companies in India. For this, Porter's Five Force Model is used as a frame of reference to gauge the effect of the various environmental and regulatory forces that affect the working of the Indian SME pharmaceutical industry, using Regression Analysis as the main tool. The reliability and the Regression equation derived from the Regression Analysis showed that competitive rivalry among existing firms is the strongest force, followed by the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the threat of substitute products in that order. Many researchers have studied the Porter model in theory, and others have studied the different aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. However, there needs to be more research on the analysis of the pharma industry using the Porter model, apart from the pioneering work of Michael Dobbs. This study follows in his footprints and applies the Porter model to the Indian pharma industry with special reference to the SME units. The industry will find this research of practical value, especially for SME industries that can use the outcomes of this study to devise their strategies for growth and competition assessment.

Pemindahan Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) Republik Indonesia ke Kabupaten Penajam Paser Utara dan Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara, Pulau Kalimantan memerlukan sekurang-nya 262.814 hektar lahan. Pada sebagian area tersebut terdapat tanah milik masyarakat adat. Penelitian ini mencoba menjelaskan sejauhmana upaya perlindungan hak atas tanah masyarakat adat dalam proses pemindahan IKN dengan menggunakan kerangka berpikir Helen Quane (2005) yang menjelaskan perlunya sejumlah prasyarat agar suatu pekerjaan pembangunan (dalam konteks penelitian ini adalah pembangunan IKN) tidak melanggar hak masyarakat adat yang tinggal pada wilayah pembangunan tersebut. Menurut Quane, syarat pertama adalah suatu pekerjaan pembangunan harus memiliki basis kebijakan yang kuat. Kedua, proyek pembangunan harus membawa manfaat yang jelas bagi masyarakat adat. Ketiga, memastikan adanya mitigasi terhadap kemungkinan dampak negatif kebijakan. Keempat, perlu ada upaya yang meminimalisasi terjadinya implikasi negatif. Selain itu, diperlukan pula syarat partisipatif untuk memastikan adanya keterlibatan masyarakat adat dalam proses kebijakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan data primer yang bersumber dari wawancara dengan tim pemerintah dan para advokat hak masyarakat adat serta dilengkapi dengan sejumlah data sekunder. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pemerintah telah mengupayakan sebagian prasyarat substantif dan prosedural dalam upaya perlindungan hak masyarakat adat. Namun, sebagian inisiatif pemerintah tersebut belum seluruhnya sensitif dan ramah terhadap kepentingan masyarakat adat
