PERFORMANCE OF DAY-NEUTRAL STRAWBERRIES IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Authors: Ballington J.R.
Published: June 2019

Day-neutral strawberries have the potential to fruit throughout the growing season as long as maximum air temperatures do not exceed 32.2 °C for extended periods. Appropriate temperatures for season-long production of day-neutrals occur in the southern Appalachians at 900 m elevations and above. Replicated studies were conducted at Laurel Springs (900 m elevation) in northwestern N.C. in 2002–04 to determine the most promising combinations of mulch types, planting dates and cultivars. Plasticulture establishment recommendations were followed and white/black plastic mulch compared to black. Dormant plants were established 15 Apr., 1 May, or 15 May at 12 × 12 inch spacing in 2002; plug plants on 30 Oct. 2002 at 12 × 12 inches and overwintered under rowcovers for 2003; and plug plants on 25 Sept. 2003 or 23 Oct. 2003 at 18 × 12 inches and overwintered under rowcovers for 2004. Plants came from commercial sources. Aromas, Diamante, Everest, and Seascape were included in 2002; Diamante, Everest and Seascape in 2003; and Everest and Seascape in 2004. Harvest season lasted 11 weeks in 2002, 12 weeks in 2003, and 10 weeks in 2004. Only main effects were statistically significant. White and black plastic mulch yields were significantly higher than black two years out of three. Fall planting resulted in earlier onset of production and higher yields in most cases. Planting date was important; for fall planting, midto late September was superior to October planting, and for spring planting, middle to late April was superior to mid-May. A plant spacing of 18 inches between plants in rows and 12 inches between rows was important to avoid crowding when planting in fall. Everest and Seascape had the best overall performance.

Authors: Clark John R. , Moore James N. , Perkins-Veazie Penelope
Published: June 2019

`White Rock' and `White County' fresh market peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) were released in 2004 by the University of Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. These cultivars join `White River' as recent products of the peach breeding program which is based at the University of Arkansas Fruit Substation, Clarksville. Both cultivars are sub- or low-acid types and have white flesh. `White Rock' ripens at on average 25 June, and is very firm at maturity. Average fruit weight was 142 g with 12% soluble solids and light white peach flavor. `White County' ripens on average 14 July. It is large fruited with average weight of 258 g and maintains firmness until full maturity. The fruits are freestone with an excellent white peach flavor. Both cultivars show good bacterial spot resistance although occasional lesions are seen on leaves. These new cultivars offer additional white peach cultivar choices for the mid-South and other areas of similar climate.
DRIP-IRRIGATION RATES FOR MUSCADINES
Authors: NeSmith D. Scott
Published: June 2019

During 1997 through 1999 mature `Southland' muscadine grapes were grown in Griffin, Ga., with different rates of daily irrigation. Irrigation rates were 0, 15, 22.5, and 30 L·d–1 (LPD), supplied to individual plants through 2 emitters. In 1997, substantial water deficit occurred during August, in 1998 during May and June, and in 1999 during July and August. The greatest yield response to irrigation was observed during 1998. No significant response to irrigation was observed during 1999, even though soil water was greatly depleted in the upper 30 cm late in the season for control plants. The 3-year average response of total yield indicated a significant response to irrigation, with the greatest yield occurring at the 22.5 LPD rate. Together these data suggest that muscadine grapes respond to irrigation, especially when water deficits during the early to mid season are prevalent. With single trellis vines, 22.5 LPD should provide adequate water in warm, humid regions similar to the southeastern U.S.
EFFECTS OF FLURPRIMIDOL AND ANCYMIDOL ON GROWTH AND POSTHARVEST PERFORMANCE OF Geogenanthus undatus `INCA'
Authors: Pennisi Bodie V.
Published: June 2019

Geogenanthus Ínca' is a new cultivar introduced the foliage plant industry which shows promise in interior plantscaping. The objectives of this study were twofold; to examine the effects of ancymidol and flurprimidol on G. `Inca' growth and determine if plant growth retardant (PGR) application could improve postharvest performance. Four weeks before attaining marketable sizes, the plants were drenched with ancymidol or flurprimidol at 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 mg (a.i.). Plants were then placed in interior-evaluation rooms under 12 μmol·m–2·s–1. Ancymidol or flurprimidol reduced plant height, width, growth index and total leaf area, total dry weight and shoot to root ratio of Geogenathus `Inca'. Flurprimidol increased the deposition of insoluble carbohydrates (starch) and altered the pattern of starch deposition; higher starch content was found in stem tissue compared to foliage tissue. The effects of ancymidol or flurprimidol persisted in the postharvest environment. After 4 months under low irradiance, PGR-treated plants exhibited higher quality, i.e., compact stature and reduced leaf and shoot necrosis. This research has potential significance for the foliage plant industry and it showed that a single drench application at label recommended rates of ancymidol or flurprimidol late in the production cycle can produce desired growth control of Geogenanthus `Inca' in the postharvest environment. Plants retain aesthetic characteristics for extended period thus necessitating lower replacement rate.
EVALUATION OF A SLOW-RELEASE FERTILIZER POWDER FOR LIQUID APPLICATION TO TURF AND TREES
Authors: Parish Richard L.
Published: June 2019

A new slow-release powdered fertilizer product has been developed for use in the landscape industry. A series of tests was conducted to evaluate this product in several landscape applicator modes: turf broadcast, turf gun, and soil injection (for trees). Variables included concentration, nozzle size and type, pressure, agitation, and holding time in the tank before spraying. The product worked well in a wide variety of spray equipment and operating conditions. It could be sprayed at a rate of 0.030 kg N/L in nozzles as small as DG 8002 (0.011 L·s–1 flow rate) without nozzle plugging and at rates of up to 0.060 kg N/L in larger nozzles. The product settled out of suspension rapidly, so good agitation was critical. No differences were noted due to nozzle type or spraying pressure. Suspensions could be held overnight if properly reagitated before spraying. Foaming was a problem with this product. An antifoam agent should be considered. Large-diameter filters minimized problems.
SILICON INVESTIGATION ON FLORICULTURE CROPS
Authors: Kamenidou Sophia , Cavins Todd
Published: June 2019

Silicon (Si) is a nonessential element that has proven to be a beneficial supplement to agricultural crops. In floriculture greenhouse production, soilless substrates have limited Si content and supplements may improve plant quality. The objective of this study was to determine Si sources, rates, and application methods to improve plant quality. Zinnia elegans `Oklahoma Formula Mix', Helianthus annuus `Ring of Fire', and Gerbera `Acapella' were provided potassium silicate (KSiO3) as a media incorporated flakes or weekly drench, sodium silicate (NaSiO3) as weekly foliar spray or ashed rice hulls. Zinnia and Helianthus Si levels were highest in leaf (0.5% to 1.7%), followed by flower (0.3-0.5%) and stem (0.2-0.4%) tissues. Gerbera accumulated lower amounts of Si compared to Zinnia and Helianthus with similar leaf and flower content values ranging from 0.4% to 0.6% with stem values 0.4% Si. Depending on source and rate, several horticultural traits were improved. Zinnia benefits included stem thickness, increase in flower diameter and stem erectness. Helianthus Si supplementation resulted in increased stem thickeness and flower diameter. However, phytotoxicity problems occurred with Si rates above 200 mg·L–1 (SiO2 applied as weekly potassium silicate drench). Gerbera stems thickened with KSiO3 and NaSiO3 applications, but NaSiO3 foliar sprays increased stem length, flower diameter and resulted in earlier flowering.
EXTENSION PROGRAM HELPS CITY OF NORTH MIAMI SAVE A MILLION IN HURRICANE DAMAGE
Authors: Garofalo Joe , County Miami-Dade
Published: June 2019

In 1992, Hurricane Andrew destroyed over 1000 mature trees in the City of North Miami, located 50 mi north of the storm center. The cleanup cost over $1,000.000. Most of the tree failures were caused by structural faults: co-dominant leaders, narrow limb attachment, included bark, over-lifting, hatracking, poor vertical limb placement, crown imbalance, overly-dense crowns, crossing and in-growing branches. All could have been corrected with proper pruning. Action was taken to reduce future damage. The city arborist made a complete, computerized inventory of all trees on public property, creating a data-base with all structural problems identified. These were prioritized so the worst could be addressed first. After any pruning work was done on a city tree, a follow-up evaluation was made, and any additional pruning needed was scheduled. Pruning followed the recommendations of state specialists and three county extension agents with the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service. City workers were taught using lectures, demonstrations, site visits, CES publications, and individualized instruction. In addition, all new trees purchased were grades FL Fancy or FL no. 1, based on Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants; such trees require little or no corrective pruning at planting and mature as structurally-sound trees which resist wind damage. Two later storms (1993, 1999) produced winds in North Miami similar to those of Hurricane Andrew. Together they destroyed only 35 trees which cost $35,000 to remove. These data demonstrate that following CES pruning recommendations reduces storm damage to trees, saving money and preserving the urban forest canopy.
EVALUATING A SIMPLE SYSTEM FOR BLACKBERRY SHELF LIFE
Authors: Perkins-Veazie Penelope , Clark John R.
Published: June 2019

The postharvest life of blackberries is shortened by decay, leakage, and softness. Shelf life is shortened after periods of rainfall, and often fruit that appear firm in the field soften rapidly in storage. Blackberry selections of interest for advanced selections from plants without fungicide application are routinely screened for shelf life at Lane by storing fruit at 5 °C for seven days. Blackberry varieties are increasingly being used for farmer's markets, national, and international markets. A rapid test to gauge shelf life of blackberry varieties new to growers would be useful in determining the best type of marketing. Ripe blackberries were harvested from Clarksville, Ark., and transported in 260 g plastic clamshells on ice (about 5 °C) to Lane, Okla. Berries were weighed upon arrival and placed at 5 or at 20 °C for 7 and 2 days, respectively. Overall ratings were considerably worse at 20 °C compared to 5 °C, often with decay on all fruit in clamshells held at 20 °C. Separate subsamples of berries, placed individually in egg cartons and held over water at 20 °C (a 99% relative humidity) yielded Rhizopus, Collectotricum, and Botrytis cinerea growth after 24 hours. Because 2 days at 20 °C proved to cause decay in blackberries too quickly, fruit will be held for 1 day at 20 °C in the next season.

Authors: Osborne Dennis J. , Sanders Douglas C. , Ward Donn R. , Rushing James W.
Published: June 2019

This paper summarizes the results of a multi-state, multi-institutional partnership delivering a targeted train-the-trainer program. The program provided good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good manufacturing practices (GMPs) based training to southeastern U.S. fresh fruit and vegetable (produce) growers and packers. Twelve southern U.S. states cooperated in this project between 2001 and 2004. In the work 150 trainers introduced nearly 20,000 persons to GAPs principles, including over 2,000 Spanish-speaking workers and a similar number of limited resource/specialty crop/grower/packer/buyer audience members. Actual numbers of persons reached was nearly 20,000, a number arrived at by counting signed-in registrations for events. Cost per person for outreach was about $6.00 per person, including travel expenses. In cooperation with the federal Risk Management Agency, a training component about risk in fresh produce operations was developed. This unit was delivered to historically underserved audiences, small farms and roadside markets, and other non-traditional audiences. This training continues today.

Published: June 2019

High tunnels are gaining popularity for their use in horticultural crop production. However, little is known about the effect of high tunnel orientation on plant growth and development. In this set of studies, we show tunnel orientation does not necessarily affect the production of cut sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and culinary herbs oregano (Origanum vulgare), marjoram (Origanum majorana), and garlic chive (Allium tuberosum). Two high tunnels, one with the long axis oriented north-south (NS) and the other east-west (EW), were used to test the effects of high tunnel orientation on several crops over a 5-year period: cut sunflower (2012 and 2016); marjoram, oregano, and garlic chive (2013 and 2014); and garlic chive (2015). The tunnels are 12 × 16 ft, smaller than those used in commercial production. The size would be appropriate for hobby and seasonal production of horticultural crops for local markets. Cut sunflower stems were similar lengths both years in both high tunnels. Sunflower times to harvest were different between cultivars but not between high tunnels. Oregano fresh weight yields were highest in the NS tunnel in 2013 but similar between tunnels in 2014. Marjoram fresh weights were highest in 2013 in the EW tunnel but highest in 2014 in the NS tunnel. Garlic chive fresh weights were similar between tunnels all 3 years. We show that differences are more a function of innate cultivar characteristics than which way small high tunnels are oriented.
Phylogenetic studies on three Helicotylenchus species based on 28S rDNA and mtCOI sequence data
Authors: Rybarczyk-Mydłowska K. , Dmowska E. , Kowalewska K.
Published: June 2019

To facilitate the process of spiral nematode species delineation, populations of Helicotylenchus canadensis, H. pseudorobustus, and H. varicaudatus deriving from various locations and diverse natural and anthropogenic environments from Poland were investigated and characterized. For the first time, 28S rDNA sequences are reported for H. canadensis and H. varicaudatus, whereas new mtCOI sequences were acquired for all three analyzed species. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of the 28S rDNA fragments revealed that H. canadensis and H. varicaudatus are members of a clade that is a sister group to all other Helicotylenchus species; however, the closest known sister group to H. canadensis is H. vulgaris type A. Both 28S rDNA- and mtCOI-based phylogenetic results suggest that this clade excludes H. pseudorobustus, whose most recent common ancestor with the former species was inferred to be the ancestor of all Helicotylenchus species. Moreover, within the mtCOI sequences obtained from H. pseudorobustus, unlike from the other two, a simultaneous presence of TAG and TAA codons was identified. This may indicate mitochondrial genetic code alterations or other genomic rearrangements in H. pseudorobustus.

Core Ideas

Super hybrid and regular hybrid varieties differed in their response to shade stress.

Apparent exportation, apparent export ratio, and apparent transformation ratio significantly increased under shade stress.

Maintaining higher radiation use efficiency and daily biomass production during grain‐filling stage may alleviate yield loss under shade stress.

Continuous cloudy weather during grain‐filling stage has induced a significant rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield loss. Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of shade stress on radiation use efficiency (RUE), biomass production, and grain yield in two consecutive years by shading from flowering to maturity using super hybrid rice (SHR) varieties (Liangyoupeijiu, Yliangyou900) and an ordinary hybrid rice (OHR) variety (Shanyou63). The shading environment was created with shade nets above the rice canopy to reduce light intensity by 40%. Grain yield in SHR was reduced by 48.0% under shade stress, which was significantly higher than OHR (30.3%). Seed set percentage and grain weight were the key factors that determined grain yield under shade stress after flowering. Seed set percentage decreased by 50.1% in SHR and 23.8% in OHR. Under shade stress total dry weight in SHR decreased by 32.4 and 26.3% in ordinary rice varieties. Mean apparent exportation (AE), apparent export ratio (AER), and apparent transformation ratio (ATR) of these varieties increased by 46.1, 45.7, and 227% respectively, under shade stress across years. The difference in intercepted percentage between shade stress and non‐shaded conditions was insignificant, but RUE was significantly affected by shade stress. Radiation use efficiency in SHR decreased by 28.5 and 22.2% in OHR. There were very significantly (P < 0.01) positive linear relationships between RUE, daily biomass production, and grain yield during grain‐filling stage. Our study suggests that higher RUE and daily biomass production during grain‐filling stage may alleviate yield loss under shade stress.
The role of PacC and Nuc-1 transcription factors in the microbial metabolic engineering
Authors: Santos Rodrigo da Silva , Orlandelli Ravely Casarotti , Pamphile João Alencar
Published: June 2019

The adaptation of microorganisms to different environmental conditions, such as temperature, salinity, extreme pH values, and oscillation in the availability of nutrients (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate), has a vital role for their survival. The transduction of the signal generated by the sensing of the extracellular pH by fungi occurs through a conserved molecular pathway that involves the activation of PacC transcription factor. This adaptive response is observed in various species and impacts the metabolic processes, pathogenicity, and biotechnological applications in the industry. Variations in pH can influence nearly all physiological processes that lead to the secretion of macromolecules and metabolites. Under the influence of the regulatory circuits of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and pH, the regulation of inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake is performed by several regulatory genes, such as Nuc-1 transcription factor. Nuc-1 is involved with the post-transcriptional control and regulation of the transcription of structural genes that act in the homeostasis system and Pi uptake. Pi is essential for maintaining cell structure and many metabolic processes, being a growth limiter in nature. Thus, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that control the adaptation of microorganisms to the variations of Pi levels are being shown in many model organisms. In this way, the study of the adaptive microbial response to Pi oscillations has high importance, since these investigations may contribute to portray the regulation of molecular mechanisms involved with the Pi system and pH regulator circuit. The pH regulation, once established, will permit the genetic manipulation of economic and medical processes.

Published: June 2019

This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional properties of Solanum macrocarpum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) (garden egg) stalk using standard methods. Sulphates and chloride were the most abundant anions while calcium and magnesium were the predominant mineral cations. Results for the proximate composition showed high carbohydrates (27.70%), fibre contents (22.94%), and ash (18.83%) while the phytochemical composition showed higher ribalinidine, catechin, and phenol contents. Vitamin B6, C, A, and B12 were found in higher concentrations, while lysine (9.48 g/100 g), phenylalanine (6.86 g/100 g), leucine (6.59 g/100 g), and arginine (5.66 g/100 g) were the predominant essential amino acids. Results for the free radical scavenging potentials showed higher DPPH, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide, and ABTS radical scavenging potentials for the garden egg stalk, while their ferric reducing antioxidant power, superoxide and lipid peroxide scavenging were comparable to the standards used. This study has shown the high nutrient density of the garden egg stalk, thus encouraging its inclusion for dietary uses.

El ejército azul: incidencia de la MINUSTAH en la estabilidad y seguridad del Estado haitiano
Authors: Prieto Olivares Diego Fernando
Published: June 2019

Haití ha sido catalogado como un Estado fallido, debido a que en su historia reciente ha permanecido una constante intervención internacional, producto de la inestabilidad política y el control de las bandas criminales que hay dentro del territorio. La última misión desplegada en el territorio haitiano y que continúa vigente en la actualidad es la Misión de Estabilización de Naciones Unidas en Haití (MINUSTAH), cuyos objetivos primordiales están en mantener la paz y la seguridad en Haití, así como apoyar un proceso político adecuado y congruente para construir la institucionalidad haitiana. Por tanto, dado que la MINUSTAH ha tomado un papel de ejército azul, el presente artículo busca investigar las implicaciones que ha tenido dicha misión en el mantenimiento de la seguridad, así como en el apoyo al proceso político y la situación de derechos humanos, tomando como punto referente la teoría de la construcción de la paz liberal.

Published: June 2019

En Colombia, el fenómeno del desplazamiento continúa siendo un problema de profundas repercusiones de tipo social, económico, cultural y político por la dimensión del mismo y por el impactogenerado en la sociedad civil con índices de desplazados muy altos.En este escenario, las mujeres se han convertido en víctimas de una situación en la que deben enfrentarse con muchos cambios que no habían proyectado en su forma de supervivencia, lo cual las convierte en seres vulnerables, desprotegidos y sin esperanzas, porque sus proyectos de vida se han visto frustrados. Frente a esta situación, el objetivo del presente artículo es presentar los resultados de la investigación realizada sobre cómo y bajo qué condiciones reconstruyen sus proyectos de vida las madres cabeza de hogar víctimas del desplazamiento, asentadas en el barrio Juan Pablo de la ciudad de Chiquinquirá, Boyacá, Colombia.
Proceso que se desarrolla en tres momentos: el antes, el durante y el después del desplazamiento, para desentrañar situaciones relacionadas con sus condiciones de vida, en correspondencia con sus derechos humanos y con el desarrollo de sus capacidades como puerta de entrada para el logro de sus realizaciones individuales. El enfoque de la investigación es cualitativo, emplea las historias de vida –direccionadas por la entrevista semiestructurada– para explorar la realidad, la cotidianidad y las formas a las que acuden las mujeres desplazadas para enfrentar obstáculos y reconstruir sus proyectos de vida.El análisis se fundamenta en lineamientos teóricos coherentes con los principios de Berteaux (2005), cuando privilegia el uso de las historias de vida en investigaciones en ciencias sociales. El trabajo de campo se desarrolló con tres mujeres, como unidades de análisis y fuentes primarias de información; se analizaron sus relatos o historias de vida para extraer del discurso los aspectos relevantes. En la etapa de discusión se analizaron las voces de las entrevistadas siguiendo la relación entre las historias de vida y el abordaje teórico que se tuvo en cuenta, básicamente, a Nussbaum y su enfoque de las capacidades.
La investigación es relevante en el contexto de la reflexión sobre las problemáticas relacionadas con los Derechos Humanos de las mujeres, en especial para aquellas que se ubican en ese contextosocial elegido para efectos de la misma, pues ellas conforman un grupo con similares particularidades en cuanto víctimas del desplazamiento, pero con unas individuales específicas como mujeres y como cabeza de hogar, cuyos roles vale la pena conocer y destacar para entender cómo reconstruyen sus vidas luego del desarraigo del que son víctimas.Palabras clave: desarraigo, desplazamiento, mujeres desplazadas, cabeza de hogar, proyectos de vida, reconstrucción vital.

Gender differentiation of payment for labor in Ukraine
Authors: Lopushnyak Galyna , Shandar Anna
Published: June 2019

In spite of the large number of normative and legal documents dealing with gender issues, a problem of ensuring equal rights of men and women does still exist in Ukraine. The article is mainly devoted to the gender inequality of payment for labor. The purpose of the study is to highlight the peculiarities of gender asymmetry of payment for labor, to outline directions for reducing it, and to make proposals on achieving gender equality of payment for labor. The labor market analysis in 2013-2017 showed that gender gap of payment for labor depends on the type of economic activity. The study also found the largest gender-based payment gap in the highest legislative body, the Ukrainian parliament, due to the small number of women in its composition, which in some way affects all social sectors. In conclusion, a number of gender differentiation features in payment for labor were singled out. The authors had proposed ways to overcome the gender gap and suggested appropriate measures to be taken. It is necessary to establish gender quotas in the parliament and to impose fines for their non-compliance, a similar proposal applies to senior positions of state institutions. There is also a need to inform society about the topic under study, to develop programs for women in rural areas, and to introduce indicators of gender inequality in enterprise reporting.

On the rationing the parameters of asymmetric loading of all-purpose freight cars
Authors: BRZHEZOVSKIY A. M.
Published: June 2019

Due to the presence in the operating fleet of freight cars with a base of over 10 m, as well as the practical impossibility of symmetrically placing loads with a weight corresponding to the nominal carrying capacity on open rolling stock, adjustments to the existing asymmetrical loading standards are necessary. To this end, it is proposed to apply a comprehensive methodology for determining the allowable parameters of asymmetrical placement of freights, based on a combination of strength criteria of the bearing elements of cars, ensuring the normative level of dynamic qualities and stability of the loaded car. The article provides an example of determining the permissible parameters of the joint lateral and longitudinal displacement of the total center of gravity of the car (ЦТгр°), loaded to the nominal capacity. According to the results of the studies to determine the allowable values of longitudinal and lateral displacement ЦТгр° with unbalanced placement within the loading platform of the car, including the presence of a joint displacement, it was found that to improve the efficiency of using freight cars with an increased base, it is advisable to update the current offset standards of ЦТгр°. It is recommended to take the values of longitudinal displacement ЦТгр° for cars with a body base of 14.6 and 19.0 m respectively 1.46 and 2.11 m for freight with a total weight of 50 tons; 1.10 and 1.43 m for freight with a total weight of 60 tons; 0.22 and 0.28 m – for freight with a total weight of 67 tons. When placing freights with a total weight of over 67 tons with a height of center of gravity of 2.0–2.2 m on 4-axle freight cars with an axle load of 230.5 kN without limiting the permissible driving speeds, it is recommended to use a graphical method for determining the joint (longitudinal and transverse) displacement ЦТгр°. With an increase in the joint displacement parameters ЦТгр°, it will be necessary to limit the speed of the car in the curved sections of the track and to the lateral direction on the turnouts.

The article proposes to evaluate the efficiency of an autonomous vehicle, taking into account not only the energy consumption for motion, but also the time of motion, i. e. both factors — efficiency and performance — should be taken into account. As a criterion for evaluating the efficiency of vehicles, authors propose the multiplication of efficiency on performance — the energy efficiency indicator (EEI). The best will be the vehicle with the highest EEI. The indicator should be calculated according to the specified technical characteristics of the vehicle laid down in the technical specifications. This criterion is suitable both for the evaluation of the vehicle during the design and during operation. At the same time, it is possible to evaluate and compare the EEI of technical vehicles not only of railway transport. The article presents the criterion values for water, rail and air transport. Proposed criterion makes it possible to evaluate the change in vehicle efficiency over time due to technical progress. Since 1953, the energy efficiency of a diesel locomotive has increased almost 3 times. To calculate the operational energy efficiency, it is necessary to obtain data on the actual performance of the vehicle. On railway transport, this is data on train work in t·km, speed and fuel consumption. The EEI assessment based on operating data will show how correctly the organization of vehicle operation is built, how non-stationary modes of the power plant and specific modes of traction influence the overall performance of the vehicle, how well the vehicle is selected for these operating conditions.

Cilj: Cilj rada je prikazati slučaj Purtscherove retinopatije, rijetke hemoragijske i vazookluzivne vaskulopatije koju obilježava nagli značajni pad vida povezan s teškom traumom glave bez značajne ozljede oka. Može se javiti i u sklopu nekih netraumatskih stanja i tada se naziva retinopatija slična Purtcherovoj. U većini slučajeva javlja se bilateralno, dok je rjeđa unilateralna pojava. Budući da još uvijek ne postoje službene smjernice za liječenje Purtscherove retinopatije, ona svakako predstavlja izazov za kliničare. Prikaz slučaja: 28-godišnji muškarac požalio se na izrazito pogoršanje vida lijevog oka dva dana nakon traume glave zadobivene pri padu s motocikla. Detaljnim oftalmološkim pregledom ustanovljen je uredan nalaz očne pozadine desnog oka, dok su lijevo ustanovljene promjene papile vidnog živca, te krvarenja i blijede, jasno ograničene zone retine (Purtscherove mrlje) te pamučasti eksudati. Idući korak uključivao je kompjutoriziranu tomografiju orbita, optičku koherentnu tomografiju makula i vidnog živca, fluoresceinsku angiografiju i perimetriju te je postavljena konačna dijagnoza Purtscherove retinopatije, a u konzultaciji s neurokirurgom uvedena je pulsna terapija metilprednizolonom. Gotovo potpun oporavak vida i promjena na očnoj pozadini postignut je za 3 mjeseca. Zaključci: Purtscherova retinopatija razmjerno je rijetka bolest, a jednostrano pojavljivanje još je i rjeđe. Nema egzaktnih smjernica za liječenje ove bolesti, naime, neki autori navode poboljšanje nakon terapije metilprednizolonom, a neki su zabilježili i određeni stupanj oporavka bez liječenja. Svakako je potrebno sistematsko praćenje slučajeva koji se pojave te razmjena iskustava u svrhu preciznijeg određivanja adekvatne, eventualno i nove terapije.

Desde el cielo y en descenso hasta el monumento.

El principio de una película es fundamental para entender todo su argumento. Los planos iniciales
de muchas de ellas han sido visiones urbanas, tanto desde el aire, como en descenso hasta llegar
al terreno, mostrando sus edificaciones y monumentos más célebres; planos iniciales donde se
pueden reconocer estereotipos de ciudades, así como la invención de los cineastas que crea nuevas
características, sin las cuales ya no podrían comprenderse esas ciudades.
The effect of low frequency electromagnetic fields on fluctuating asymmetry of woody plants
Authors: Polonsky Vadim I , Sumina Alena V
Published: June 2019

The paper analyzes the impact of environmental factors of physical and chemical nature on the stability of the development of three species of woody plants: common lilac, Siberian apple tree, birch tree. Determining the value of the fluctuating asymmetry index (FA) over the width of two halves of leaves was performed on plants growing in the suburban green area (control), in the suburban green area under high-voltage power lines of 220 kV (physical factor, experiment 1), as well as in the city of Krasnoyarsk in terms of air pollution by exhaust gases of cars (chemical factor, experiment 2). The values of the FA index of common lilac and Siberian apple tree, defined for the control variants, were 0.024 and 0.028, and calculated for experiments 1 and 2 were respectively equal to 0.032 and 0.039; 0.029 and 0.030. It is established that the response of common lilac and Siberian apple trees to the physical environmental factor - electromagnetic radiation of industrial frequency - which is expressed in the appearance of leaf asymmetry is stronger in comparison with the reaction to the chemical factor - exhaust gases of cars. It is shown that the value of the FA index of Siberian apple tree and common lilac can be a sensitive indicator when monitoring the anthropogenic load on the environment in the form of an alternating electromagnetic field of industrial frequency. The FA index of the birch tree, measured on the basis of the width of the right and left halves of the leaf, is less sensitive than in the case of the common lilac and the Siberian apple tree.

Transitando pelo Santo Daime: uma construção narrativa a partir de algumas convergências
Authors: Scuro Juan
Published: June 2019

Esse trabalho é o começo da reflexão em torno de alguns eixos que atravessam o estudo do Santo Daime, religião ayahuasqueira fundada nos anos de 1930 pelo Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra. Esta religião de origem amazônica vem se expandindo pelo mundo inteiro a grande velocidade. Sua chegada a partir da década dos 1960, primeiro aos grandes centros urbanos brasileiros e logo ao mundo todo, determina um encontro de saberes diferentes. As tradições caboclas e xamânicas tomam um destacado lugar na paisagem urbana. Neste artigo construímos um espaço através do qual poder narrar e vislumbrar elementos do nosso processo de pesquisa em torno ao Santo Daime. Observando o Santo Daime como um ponto de grandes convergências abrimos um espaço de visualização para trabalhar em torno às noções de individuo envolvidas nesta religião. Esta aproximação levou-nos a construir um ponto de vista que dialogue com elementos da memória coletiva do grupo. Palavras chave: Santo Daime. Ayahuasca. Individualismo. Memória  Transiting the Santo Daime: a narrative construction from some convergences Abstract This paper begins a reflexion about Santo Daime, a Brazilian Ayahuasca religion founded in 1930s by Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra. This Amazonian religion has been expanding its doctrine over the world. His arrival after the decade of 1960, the first major urban centers in Brazil and soon the whole world, determines a meeting of different knowledges. Shamanic traditions take a prominent place in the urban landscape. In this article we construct a narrative about Santo Daime with the aim of discus about some convergences in this religion. We discuss some aspects about the formation of a particular individualism that establishes a dialogue with the collective memory of the group. Keywords: Santo Daime. Ayahuasca. Individualism. Memory.

A formação do aluno leitor e escritor é uma das tarefas básicas da escola. Muitas podem ser as práticas para essa formação, no entanto vale considerar que aquelas que promoverem iniciativa e posicionamento critico, podem, de fato, contribuir para uma formação que ultrapasse os muros da escola. Este texto traz ao diálogo uma experiência que tem sido uma marca do trabalho nos anos iniciais do Instituto de Aplicação Fernando Rodrigues da Silveira (CAp-UERJ): as rodas. Com temáticas, funções e objetivos múltiplos, as rodas têm se revelado uma importante estratégia de ensino e de aprendizagem, do 1º ao 5º ano de escolaridade. Neste artigo trataremos de algumas rodas e como elas têm provocado a nossa reflexão na e sobre a prática, ressignificando nosso fazer pedagógico.
Discursos sobre o islã e os muçulmanos em livros didáticos
Authors: Salgado Neto Luiz
Published: June 2019

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar alguns elementos recorrentes contidos nas narrativas sobre o islã e os muçulmanos em livros didáticos dedicados ao ensino médio. Observando algumas afirmações estereotipadas e preconceituosas em obras didáticas, pretende-se contribuir para uma abordagem pluralista das sociedades muçulmanas e da fé islâmica em escolas brasileiras; uma abordagem que permita um ensino voltado para a apresentação do outro de forma positiva; e para que o diferente seja visto como parte integrante da sociedade, não como alguém exótico e potencialmente adversário. Busca-se observar o islã e os muçulmanos a partir das noções elaboradas pelos estudos interculturais, tendo como objetivo contribuir para uma educação que valorize a coexistência com o diferente. Com isso, busca-se refletir sobre um ensino que construa um mundo mais inclusivo, menos fechado, menos xenófobo e menos violento.
