Permafrost environment will undergo significant changes during the 21st century related to the forecasted climate warming, therefore, we may expect that rising temperatures will cause enhanced re-mobilization of deposited compounds from sinks in soils and permafrost. By analysing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) concentrations in surface waters we attempt to answer the question if permafrost is a secondary source of POPs stored in it. One of the most common organic pollutant groups worldwide, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), occurred also in Russian periglacial soils, sediments and water, and their further research is of interest due to them causing adverse effects in animal health. PAHs concentrations range from several to several thousand ng·g–1, reflecting a spatial variability related to supply from both anthropogenic and natural sources (e.g., Abakumov et al., 2015; Elmquist  et al., 2007; Gabov et al., 2019).

Preliminary research on the possibile release of POPs into water has been conducted in July 2021 near the North-East Science Station (the lower Kolyma basin) (within the scope of PollAct project). Water samples (28 pcs) were collected from the Kolyma river, its tributaries and thermokarst lakes. The results of laboratory analysis (PAHs, PCBs, metals) are tested to find potential sources of contaminants (natural vs anthropogenic), and verify the possibility of their remobilisation from permafrost during thaw season. The study will be continued in 2022-2025 through the PER2Water project.

Flood disasters and integrated flood management especially from citizens’ perspectives in Nepal
Authors: Gautam Narayan Prasad
Published: September 2022

Nepal is a mountainous country and it lies at the center and the southern edge of the Hindu-Kush Himalayan Region (HKH), which is the youngest geological formation in the world. So, floods and landslides are common in this region.

This study has considered the technical as well as societal aspects in order to manage water for its optimum beneficial use in one of the least developed countries, Nepal. This study has emphasized the importance of citizens’ perspectives in order to implement integrated flood management (IFM) for sustainable use of water resources.

In Nepal, from the records of 1971-2018, flood is the biggest cause for affecting more number of families including house damage. Studies have shown that there were severe flood induced disasters (FIDs) many times. In 1993, FIDs were the major reason for the casualties of 1,336 people in a single year.

It is identified that the local citizens/communities near by the flood originated areas have to face the severe effects of flood induced disasters. However, in many cases, local citizens/communities may not be capable of flood management works. Therefore, a holistic approach is required for the implementation of IFM to reduce casualties and losses from the yearly occurring FIDs. It is also necessary to adopt best strategies as structural or non-structural or a combination of both for flood management works. Therefore, active participation and cooperation among local citizens, communities and concerned agencies should be promoted in order to implement IFM works to reduce flood induced disasters in Nepal.
Long-term NDVI series analysis for water management in irrigated areas
Authors: Bargaoui Zoubeida , Boussetta Inès , Abid Nesrine , Ezzine Ahmed
Published: September 2022

We analyze NDVI time series of an irrigated area of 25 ha that was launched in 1984 in a sylvo-agro-pastoral mountainous of Northern Tunisia. The study area is under anthropic changes consisting in an increasing of pumping volumes for irrigation and spreading of arboriculture practices. The main occupation now is apple trees but earliest (unsuccessful) trials were within vineyards and pears. A series of Landsat 30 m resolution images for a 34-year period from the starting of the irrigation facilities in 1984 to 2017 is analyzed. The NDVI of June is considered. Sample statistics of every June map are identified to help monitoring the evolution of NDVI over the study area. In interpreting NDVI observations NDVI=0.2 and NDVI =0.5 are usually adopted as descriptors of respectively soil and full vegetation conditions. Results show that while the non-exceedance probability of the value NDVI equal 0.2 decreased through time, that corresponding to NDVI equal to 0.5 increased, well reflecting the growth of arboriculture through time. Furthermore, a log-normal probability distribution is adjusted to every NDVI map from 1984 to 2017. It is found a rising time trend in position and scale distribution parameters, signifying non stationary log normal distributions for NDVI. The position parameter of the log-normal distribution is found statistically related to the growing season rainfall with different regressions corresponding to two periods the one before and the one after 2010. The changing year 2010 represents phenological growth (10 years old for most trees) but also corresponds to a changing year with respect to the increase in irrigated volumes. Finally, homogeneity tests (Mann-Kendall, Pettit, Sen) were applied to test the time series of a subsample of pixels against temporal change in NDVI.  They result in rejecting homogeneity hypothesis at the confidence level of 5%. The most probable date of change was found 2005.  This year corresponds to 5 years old for apple plantations.  The study outlines the worth of NDVI information for monitoring anthropic changes in arboriculture systems. The next challenge is using this no stationary variable for sustainable water management in this case of a shared groundwater resource under pressure.

Published: September 2022

Perkembangan industri perfilman di dunia sangat berkembang pesat. IMDB adalah website yang telah lama digunakan untuk menyajikan informasi dan berbagi opini antar penikmat film yang ada di seluruh dunia, tanggapan mereka menjadi tolak ukur kesuksesan dari sebuah film terdapat banyak judul film, yang menyebabkan penonton kesulitan dalam memilih film. Meskipun dengan klasifikasi genre yang telah ada di website IMDB, tetapi klasifikasi ini terbilang cukup umum karena masih belum dapat mengatasi preferensi genre dari penonton yang berbeda-beda, seperti penonton dengan preferensi film yang memiliki genre comedy dengan sedikit bumbu romance, tentu akan berbeda hasilnya dengan film dengan genre comedy dengan bumbu action, banyak jenis genre film yang siap dtonton, tetapi banyak pengguna atau user yang kebingungan film apa yang akan di tonton. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan sistem untuk merekomendasikan film agar sesuai dengan yang pelanggan atau user inginkan. Pada penelitian ini, penulis menerapkan teknologi komputersasi dalam menganalisa rekomendasi film dengan Collaborative Filtering yaitu metode User-based Filtering dan Item-based Filtering untuk mencari kesamaan dan memprediksi item dan juga analisa sentmen untuk melihat hasil ulasan dan mengklasifikasi komentar dari komentar pengunjung IMDB menggunakan Naive Bayes Classifier

Sobre elefantes e ideales: dos críticas a “El estado del derecho constitucional comparado: ¿para qué son las Constituciones?”
Authors: Cruz Gutierrez David Fernando
Published: September 2022

Este texto reacción al articulo El Estado Actual del Derecho Constitucional Comparado: Una crítica democrática" de Joel Colón Rios a traves de dos críticos. El primero es una crítica que llamo “el elefante debajo del mantel” en donde cuestiono la estabilidad del ideal liberal dentro del derecho constitucional comparado. Lo que busca es mostrar que el derecho constitucional comparado no es campo tan estable como lo presume Colón Ríos y que, por el contrario, hay proyectos comparados que parten desde ideal democrático que tienen influencias dentro de los autores dominantes del campo, como Tom Ginsburg. El segundo es una crítica que llamo “el problema del binarismo entre ideal liberal y el democrático”. Este crítica cuestiona la salida que ofrece “J” ante el rol dominante del ideal liberal dentro del derecho constitucional comparado que consiste en desplazarlo por el ideal democrático. Pues esto reproduciría algunos problemas, en particular los puntos ciegos en la descripción solo que desde otra perspectiva. En cambio, mi argumento es que el problema está en creer que las constituciones tienen una funcionalidad limitada a dos ideales, el ideal liberal y el democrático.
Zemahşerî’nin Gayb ile İlgili Âyetlere Yaklaşımı (el-Keşşâf Bağlamında)
Authors: Bayram Enver
Published: September 2022

Bu çalışmada Zemahşerî’nin gayb ile ilgili ayetlere yaklaşımı ele alınıp incelenecektir. Gayb, duyu organları ve akıl yoluyla kavranamayan bir bilgi alanıdır. Ancak gayble ilgili bilinmezler insana göredir, Allah’a göre değildir. Zira Allah gizli-açık her şeyi ilmiyle kuşatmıştır. Zemahşerî, gayble ilgili ayetleri kendi reyi ile tefsir etmekte ve gaybın ancak Allah tarafından bilinebileceğine özellikle vurgu yapmaktadır. Şayet meleklere ya da peygamberlere gayble ilgili bir bilgi verilecekse bunun da ancak vahiy yoluyla olacağını ifade etmektedir. O, gaybın vahiy bilgisi dışında bazı kimseler tarafından yorumlanabileceğini veya ondan haber verilebileceğini, ancak bunun zan ve tahminden öteye gitmeyeceğini belirtmektedir. Yine o, mugayyebât-ı hamsenin mutlak gayb kapsamında ele alınması kanaatindedir. Çalışmamızda Zemahşerî’nin tefsiri bağlamında gaybın tanımına değindikten sonra gaybın bilinip bilinememesi ele alınacak, ardından da mugayyebât-ı hamse konusu incelenecektir.

Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions from PFAS Treatment of Maine Drinking Water
Authors: McAlexander Benjamin , Apul Onur , Olson Mitchell , MacRae Jean
Published: September 2022

State law requires the adoption of a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for PFAS contamination in drinking water by June 1, 2024. While discussion of mitigation options has included the degree of risk reduction and the cost of treatment, indirect environmental effects are missing from the conversation. Until other technologies are developed, water treatment in Maine will likely rely on the established, energy-intensive method of PFAS adsorption (binding) to granular activated carbon. We conducted an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions associated with water treatment using this treatment media to fill gaps in the discussion. We found that greenhouse gas emissions for water treatment to bring PFAS down to the current interim standard are substantial, raising the footprint of an average user by 6.7–18 percent. We use this information to discuss implications for policymaking.

Significance of Prisons in the light of Islamic Teachings
Authors: Ullah Amman , Ahmad Prof: Dr. Matloob
Published: September 2022

Jail means the place in which the accused persons are kept for investigation or criminals are kept for punishment. In jail, prisoners lose their right of freedom. The aim to establish jail is to frighten the unseemliness people, betterment of unconscious and ignorant persons and to give punishment to the criminals, so that peace of society may be maintained. The regular system of jail was not present in the period of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and caliph  Hazrat Abu Bakar (R.A), but the concept of imprisonment existed. Hazrat Umer (R.A) Bought the house from Safwan bin Umayyah and used it as a jail in his reign. That was also present in the reign of Hazrat Usman (R.A). When Hazrat Ali (R.A) Became caliph, he constructed first regular jail which was given the name “Nafay”. The Second jail was “Mukhaius”. In Short, the concept of jail is taken from the Holy Quran, Hadith, remains of Sahaba and consensus of the Ummah.

Published: September 2022

There are number of Quranic terms elaborated in various perspectives in Islamic literature of classis era. The term “Al-Jahiliyah” is one of those terms. This is usually related to pre Islamic era of Arabs when idol worshiping was performed on vast level in almost all societies of Arab peninsula. Some classic experts of Arabic language have taken this term into account with respect to the particular acts and customs which were prevailing before Islam in different societies of the world. Same is done by some of Quranic commentators as well. Besides that, there are some language experts and Quranic commentators who have elaborated this term while relating it to the specific time periods. It indicates that the term has come across a prominent evolution of ideological scenario and it is still under consideration of Muslim scholars.

Published: September 2022

As mudanças nos hábitos alimentares da população mundial propiciaram a expansão e popularização do mercado de refeições fora lar, nesse contexto as unidades produtoras de refeições ou UPR's devem garantir a inocuidade das refeições aos seus consumidores, uma vez que estas são muito susceptíveis à contaminação, sobretudo de ordem microbiana. A garantia de inocuidade se dá através da adoção das Boas Práticas preconizadas pelas RDC nº 275 e RDC nº 216. A pesquisa realizou-se durante o mês de outubros de 2021 em cinco estabelecimentos de pequeno porte escolhidos aleatoriamente (A, B, C e D, respectivamente) durante os horários de pico onde houve a aplicação do checklist da RDC nº 275 para verificar o cumprimento das Boas práticas de Fabricação. Após o tratamento dos dados constatou-se que todas as UPR’s avaliadas nesse estudo se enquadraram no Grupo II, portanto obtiveram classificação Regular (Tabela 1). Conclui-se que apesar das limitações do ambiente de trabalho e falta de capacitação adequada as UPR's mantiveram um certo grau de higiene porem as inadequações representam um perigo aos consumidores.

Published: September 2022

Background: School closures during COVID-19-Pandemic introduced online teaching- learning in low-&middle-income-countries (LMIC). We aimed to assess its impact on mental health (MH) of adolescents in India studying for matriculation. Material & Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in Maharashtra, India in 2021. MH of matriculating adolescents was assessed by presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress (DAS) using DASS-42 and emotional intelligence (EI) by Schutte’s self-report EI test (SET) with collection of socio-demographic information maintaining confidentiality. Higher are the DAS scores, greater is the severity of symptoms and higher the score better is EI. They were categorized as per convention by their inventors. Data were analyzed by SPSS-20 software. Impact of online teaching was assessed by comparing results of present study with pre- pandemic pilot and other studies. Results: Total 1103 adolescents participated, 42.9% were boys & 57.1% were girls. Mean age was 14.7 (+0.75) years, majority from middle socio-economic- status. Median DAS, EI scores showed no evidence of symptoms of DAS with EI in normal category. DAS scores were significantly lower and EI score was significantly higher than reported in pre-pandemic pilot and other studies.
Surgical management of deficient alveolar ridges by means of guided bone regeneration in oral implantology
Authors: Byrappa Brijesh , Ranganatha Narahari , Aradya Anupama , Rohit S , Haidry Naqoosh , Sanjeev N
Published: September 2022

Dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after extraction often compromises on achieving optimal implant stability and placement of implants in the right prosthodontic positions. These situations demand augmentation of the residual ridge to achieve successful implant placement and long-term survival. A minimum amount of bone width and height is essential for the successful placement of implants. Unfavourable local conditions, due to atrophy, trauma and periodontal disease, may provide insufficient bone volume or an unfavourable interarch relationship, which does not allow correct and a prosthodontically guided positioning of dental implants. Guided bone regeneration, ridge splitting, block graft, or distraction osteogenesis have all been applied for this purpose and have shown some promising results. Nonetheless, autogenous block graft remains one of the main methods for reconstructing severely resorbed maxilla. These block grafts can be harvested from intraoral or extraoral sites. Significant amounts of autogenous bone can be procured from symphysis or ramus region of the mandible. The cortical grafts of this area provide predictable increase in bone volume with a short healing time and yield a highly dense osseous architecture for implant placement.This review discusses the use of autogenous block grafts and bovine bone allograft for predictable bone augmentation in atrophic ridges.

Specific immunotherapy with standardized aeroallergens can reduce symptoms and increase the quality of life in some atopic diseases. This therapy is still controversial for atopic dermatitis (AD). Hence, a meta-analysis to assess efficacy and safety of specific immunotherapy with aeroallergens on patients with AD could provide an oversight on advantages and limitations of the therapy. We systematically searched several databases for relevant studies published Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to October 2020. Studies involving all ages and gender with AD who treated with specific immunotherapy employing aeroallergens compared with placebo/control. Seven studies RCTs were identified with 832 participants. Significantly decreased of SCORAD values favoring immunotherapy were observed (MD: -5.42; 95% CI -10.31, - 0.52; p=0.03). VAS score was significantly decreased (MD: -1.21; 95% CI -2.10, -0.31; p=0.008). However, immunotherapy showed no significant local and systemic adverse events ((RR 1.77; 95% CI 0.98, 3.19, p=0.06); (RR 0.69; 95% CI 0.16, 3.01, p=0.62)) and IgG4 Dermatophagoides farinae (MD: 92.36, 95% CI -89.14, 273.87; p=0.32).

Published: September 2022

Background: Despite a wide variety of mitral prosthesis suturing, pledgeted annular sutures are preferred to lower the incidence of para-valvular leakage (PVL). However, there is limited evidence in the literature on the effect of non-plegeted sutures on such serious complication. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and practicality of employing non-pledgeted sutures for Mitral valve replacement (MVR), especially regarding postoperative PVL. Patients and methods: Data on 100 patients with MVR were gathered from Cairo University Hospitals. Cases were split into two groups: group 1 underwent surgery using non-pledgeted horizontal sutures where in group 2 we used Teflon-pledgeted sutures. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors including follow-up echocardiographic examination one year following discharge, were compared between the two groups. Results: Both groups had similar preoperative characteristics, with group 1 including 49 patients compared to 51 patients in group 2. Data showed significantly shorter cross clamping (AXC) time in group 1 (p value < 0.05), intraoperative TEE has never observed para-prosthetic leakage in both groups, there was no significant difference regarding both mean ICU and hospital stay.
Contemporary view on hypertension: From diagnostics to treatment
Authors: Abidova Dilorom Ergashevna  , Mukhamedova Muyassar Gafurdjanovna
Published: September 2022

Arterial hypertension is a persistent increase in resting systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure than recommended thresholds. An increase in blood pressure without a known cause is the most common. Hypertension with a known cause is usually associated with obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, primary aldosteronism, diabetes, or obesity. Usually, symptoms appear only with severe or prolonged course. Diagnosis is based on sphygmomanometry. Diagnosis allows to determine the cause, evaluate the lesion, and also identify other cardiovascular risk factors. Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medications, including diuretics, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers. In this article latest study are stated in terms of early identification, diagnosis and timely management of this disease. Knowing risk factors and predictors allows health care workers early identification and management of high blood pressure as well as reduce the burden associated with its complications.

COVID-19 pandemic has presented both the lecturers and students with ‘the good and the bad’. Conventional means of training preregistration healthcare workers or delivering lectures seems not to be adequate in the face of limited periods for face to face classes. Different avenues have been developed by educational institutions to mitigate the absence of face to face lectures. In order to maintain high standards of education and production of healthcare workers capable of providing desired level of care to patients, it is necessary for different stakeholders to come together with the aim of developing sustainable alternative means of teaching at every level of the educational system.

The carcass yield of giant African snails, Archachatina marginata, subjected to a restrictive diet for 70 days and then re-fed for 70 days, was evaluated. The objective was to determine the ability of the species to compensate for growth retardation. The study took place at the application farm of the Faculty of Agronomy of the Parakou’s University between August 15, 2019 and January 22, 2020. A total of 90 snails, with an average live weight of 52.48 ± 9.03 g, were randomly divided into three batches of 30 subjects in semi-buried enclosures made of cement block and fine-mesh wire netting. Three meal rations containing 20.26%, 17.18% and 14.43% crude protein and 2976 kcal, 2540 kcal and 2089 kcal of metabolizable energy per kg of dry matter were distributed ad libitum to batches I (control), II and III respectively. At the end of each feeding period, 8 snails from each batch were randomly selected and slaughtered. The feed consumption indices as well as the carcass yields were respectively 1.94 ± 0.51; 3.44 ± 1.07 and 4.31 ± 1.03 (p < 0.05) as well as 38.70 ± 3.12%; 30.35 ± 2.03% and 28.30 ± 1.26% (p < 0.05) respectively for batches I (control), II and III at the end of the feeding restriction period. After the re-feeding period, where all the batches of snails were fed at the same level as the control batch, these values were respectively 2.55 ± 0.35; 1.65 ± 0.14 and 1.60 ± 0.14 (p < 0.05) as well as 40.44 ± 4.00%; 37.48 ± 2.56% and 36.55 ± 1.75% (p < 0.05) respectively for batches I, II and III. It appears from this study that temporary feeding restriction followed by re-feeding significantly improved feed efficiency in Archachatina marginata. The carcass yield, despite a remarkable increase, could not be fully compensated.
FREQUENCY OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN NON-DIALYSIS CHRONIC KIDNEY PATIENTS
Authors: Khan Merina , Mahmood Syed Nayyer , Fatima Novara
Published: September 2022

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, it’s a significant burden and becomes more prevalent with decreasing GFR. Though, erythropoietin deficiency remains the major cause of anemia in CKD patients due to decreased renal erythropoietin production, yet the frequency of IDA in pre-dialysis  CKD patients has not been well established in Pakistan.
Objective:      To determine the frequency of IDA in pre-dialysis  CKD patients.
Materials and Methods: 188 pre-dialysis  CKD patients of age 18-75 and both genders were included. Patients having obvious causes of anemia were excluded. The percentage of patients with IDA in pre-dialysis  CKD was then determined during OPD follow up.
Results: Mean age was 46.03±12.24 years. Out of 188 patients, 102 (54.26%) were males with male-female ratio of 1.2:1. The frequency of IDA in pre-dialysis  CKD patients was found in 73 (38.83%) patients.
Conclusion:    Study concluded that frequency of IDA in pre-dialysis  CKD patients is high and close attention to the causes and its replacement may improve the patient outcome.

Published: September 2022

Estudos cientométricos são importantes para revelar tendências na produção científica, as lacunas do conhecimento existentes e, com isso, subsidiar o planejamento de novos estudos e a tomada de decisão. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a produção científica sobre a herpetofauna que ocorre no Estado do Tocantins, para avaliar (1) a frequência de estudos por ordem taxonômica, área de concentração e localidade, (2) a colaboração. Buscamos por artigos científicos (incluindo notas, comunicações curtas, correspondências) nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus e na plataforma Google Acadêmico, publicados até o ano de 2020, utilizando como termos de busca “Testudines”, “Chelonia”, “Squamata”, “Crocodylia”, “Anura”, “Gymnophiona” e “Tocantins”. Foram localizados 96 artigos, publicados em 58 periódicos, sendo 73.96%, estão no idioma inglês e 26.04%, no idioma português. Em relação à localidade de amostragem, 72 artigos são da região sul do Tocantins, 18 artigos são da região norte, e seis artigos são de ambas regiões. Em relação ao bioma das localidades, 72.9% dos artigos foram realizados no Cerrado, 42.70% na transição Cerrado-Amazônia e 12.5% na Amazônia. As áreas de concentração com maior frequência de publicações são: história natural (29.16%), sistemática e taxonomia (19.79%), ecologia de populações e comunidades (15.63%), e distribuição geográfica (10.42%). Os artigos apresentam a colaboração de pesquisadores de 87 instituições, sendo 79.3%, instituições nacionais e 20.7%, instituições estrangeiras. Os resultados desse estudo revelam um crescimento exponencial de artigos publicados sobre a herpetofauna no Estado do Tocantins, com alto grau de colaboração e baixo isolamento idiomático para a comunidade científica exterior. Além disso, encontramos lacunas em diferentes áreas de concentração para todas as ordens taxonômicas e uma escassez de estudos na região amazônica do Estado.

Authors: Chahud Artur , Okumura Mercedes
Published: September 2022

A Gruta Cuvieri, parte do complexo cárstico de Lagoa Santa (Minas Gerais, Brasil), preservou grande número de restos osteológicos de mamíferos. Um dos clados preservados em seus depósitos é a família Leporidae. O objetivo deste trabalho é a divulgação de novos dados atribuídos aos Leporidae encontrados na Gruta Cuvieri. O material recuperado revelou a presença de espécimes de tamanhos variados, tanto no Pleistoceno quanto no Holoceno, não sendo possível a identificação em nível de espécie. Dado o pouco conhecimento acerca da variação anatômica de fósseis e subfósseis do Quaternário brasileiro e os novos dados genéticos que apontam para uma grande diversidade no gênero Sylvilagus, sugerimos a classificação dos espécimes da Gruta Cuvieri como Sylvilagus sp..
Da Amazônia ao Vale do Ribeira: o impacto socioambiental da cultura da banana na comunidade Sapatu
Authors: Santos Marcelo Elias dos
Published: September 2022

A comunidade remanescente de quilombo Sapatu está localizada no Vale do Ribeira no litoral sul do Estado de São Paulo. As comunidades que ocupam essa região desenvolvem suas próprias estratégias de uso dos recursos naturais mediante a observação e a experimentação. Os quilombolas transmitem o conhecimento tradicional de geração para geração ao executarem suas atividades cotidianas. Para a comunidade Sapatu, o trabalho com a terra é baseado na mão-de-obra familiar e na necessidade de assegurar os produtos básicos para a sobrevivência das famílias. A principal atividade é a produção de banana orgânica, seguida das culturas dedicadas a subsistência, como arroz, feijão, milho, inhame, palmito pupunha e mandioca. Além da agricultura, os moradores se dedicam ao artesanato feito com a palha da bananeira e ao turismo de base familiar no Parque do Petar. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o impacto socioambiental da produção de banana orgânica na comunidade. Para tanto, optou-se por mensurar a percepção dos produtores a partir da aplicação do Questionário para Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais (QPCT). Os resultados indicam que as comunidades com contratos de fornecimento de produtos da biodiversidade apresentam maior percepção financeira e social. Para a percepção ambiental não houve diferença significativa entre as comunidades comparadas.

Published: September 2022

Thirty four arsenic resistant bacterial strains were isolated from the soil samples of Khulna Shipyard. They were isolated by growing them on nutrient broth medium containing 5 mgl-1 of arsenic. From them, five strains were finally selected, and studied their morphological, biochemical and ecological characters in details. They were identified as Bacillus lichenifomis, Bacillus polymyxa, Listeria murrayi, Moraxella urethralis and Planococcus citreus. All of these strains were able to tolerate upto100 ppm (mgl-1) of arsenic (III). It is possibly due to the presence of arsenic (III) resistance mechanism(s) in these bacterial strains. The optimum pH and temperature for the growth of these bacterial strains were 8.5 and 37 °C, respectively.
