Road Salt Application in Highland Creek Watershed, Toronto, Ontario - Chloride Mass Balance
Authors: Perera Nandana , Gharabaghi Bahram , Noehammer Peter , Kilgour Bruce
Published: May 2018

Occurrence of increasing chloride concentrations in urban streams of cold climates, mainly due to road salt application, has raised concerns on its adverse effects on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, there is a need for a better understanding of processes associated with road salt application and subsequent discharge into the environment in order to develop management practices to minimize detrimental effects of chlorides. The chloride mass analysis for the Highland Creek watershed based on four years of hourly monitoring data indicates that approximately 60% of the chlorides applied on the watershed enter streams prior to subsequent salting period, 85% of which occurs during the period between November and March. Contribution of private de-icing operations on chloride mass input within Highland Creek watershed was estimated to be approximately 38%, indicating its significance in overall chloride mass balance. Salt application rates, as well as chloride output in the streams, vary spatially based on land use, influencing chloride concentrations in surface waters. The estimated groundwater chloride concentration of 275 mg/L indicates that some aquatic organisms in Highland Creek would potentially be at risk even outside the winter period under dry weather flow conditions.
Comparative Assessment of Water Quality with the Trophic Level Index and the Delphi Method in Lakes Rotoiti and Rotorua, New Zealand
Authors: Hamilton David , Parparov Arkadi
Published: May 2018

We describe a case study involving the application of a water quality (WQ) assessment for Lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti, New Zealand. Our major objective was to compare an established water quality system based on a trophic level index (TLI) against an alternative Delphi method (DM) which uses an assembled expert panel including specialists in limnology and water resources management. The set of water quality indices (WQI) established with DM captures the major uses of water resources of the studied lake ecosystems: conservation and recreation. The set of permissible ranges for individual WQIs assessed with DM allows a “reference state” to be defined for WQ in the study lakes. The TLI and DM were closely correlated when eutrophication was the overarching issue, but much less so when resources and uses of the lake ecosystems were taken into consideration. Water resources management based around the TLI is commonly targeted at oligotrophication of aquatic ecosystems to improve WQ, often in association with reducing economic activities in watersheds. In contrast, the DM allows a more complete assessment that aligns with sustainable management of natural water resources but also includes the need for conservation.
About the problems of ecology of Pavlodar region
Authors: Kozhakhmetova Bakyt Aldangorovna
Published: May 2018

The article deals with the ecological problems of the Pavlodar-Irtysh Priirtyshye. For a long time, it was believed that the Pavlodar region in terms of pollution is not a problem region. Recently, ecologists of the region have been alarmed by the fact that in the short period, since the 1990s, the region has become a leader in the level of air pollution. Today, in terms of pollution level, the Pavlodar region takes the third place in the republic. One of the causes of pollution of the environment is the rapid development of industry. As a part of ecological support, our students, like many other residents of the Pavlodar region, are involved in cleaning up their native city and the Irtysh floodplain, as a favorable habitat is an important part of life and health of people.

Authors: Markova Tatiana Vladislavovna , Martianov Evgenii Sergeevich
Published: May 2018

The article is devoted to the study of virtual reality as a social phenomenon. Through an appeal to the past, its genesis is analyzed, as well as its significance in modern realities. The latter is viewed from both a social and a personal point of view. Comparing the number of supporters of virtual communication with the number of people of conservative views, conclusions are drawn about the tendency to depart from the usual communication. It allows to assert that the problem of the termination of live communication is relevant to this day. Inferences allow us to assert that the problem of replacing real communication is different. After looking at the positive consequences, the introduction of the mind into virtual reality, it is affirmed that there are good sides to this action. Through analysis, the causes of entering the World Wide Web are generated. In conclusion, the question is raised about the need for virtual reality in everyday life, its problems, as well as the prospects for development.

Artistic means of expressiveness used in dialogues to describe colloquial speech in the works of Bernhard Schlink
Authors: Lyamina Anastasiia Gennadevna , Ganzhara Olga Anatolevna
Published: May 2018

This article deals with the problem of describing the dialogical speech within the framework of the work of Bernhard Schlink, attention is paid to the linguistic elements used to transmit communicative acts and to the authors' goals aimed at the realization of creative intent. The purpose of the work is to consider the features of the transmission of live, real speech in the works of Bernhard Schlink. The work is of a survey nature. It provides examples of the author's use of phonetic, lexical and syntactic elements of the language, which contribute to the creation of a real dialogical speech between the characters. It was revealed that the description of communal acts in the works of Bernhard Schlink is characterized by a tendency to a strong emotional impact on the reader, the use of means of various linguistic levels responds to the author's desire to differentiate the text of the work in a stylistic way. From the lexical point of view Schlink resorts to the use of various kinds of colloquial elements of the language or units of low style, here are used phraseological units, modal particles, interjections, etc. From the syntactic side, the author uses incomplete sentences, free word order and etc. In the phonetic plan, the author shortens words, deafens them, as this happens during a real communicative act. The use of colloquial elements in the works allows the author to diversify the text stylistically and makes it more interesting for the reader, which is confirmed by the fact that Bernhard Schlink belongs to the most popular German writers of the day.

Despite the prevalence of the application, the legislative enactment of this verification act has many gaps. The relevance of this work is determined by the urgency of expanding the interpretation and giving a clearer legal regulation of obtaining explanations for use on practices. The tasks of this work: to determine the importance of obtaining explanations, as verification action, to identify the problems of its legal consolidation, their analysis and ways to solve them.
HIV-1/SIV Humoral Responses in External Secretions
Authors: Mestecky Jiri , Tomaras Georgia D.
Published: May 2018

The protective function of mucosal HIV-1- or SIV-specific antibodies against viral infection has stimulated extensive studies of their Ig isotype association with differences in specificity and in effector functions. In contrast to many mucosally acquired microbial infections in which the humoral responses are dominated by induction of secretory IgA (S-IgA), HIV-1/SIV infections stimulate vigorous IgG responses in sera as well as in external secretions but low IgA virus-specific antibodies although the total levels of IgA in these fluids remain unaltered. The diminished or even absent IgA responses to HIV-1/SIV and to other mucosal antigens in external secretions and their replacement with IgG is likely to influence the functionality of mucosal barriers and eliminate antiinflammatory effector functions of IgA antibodies. Furthermore, the polymeric character of S-IgA with 4-8 antigen-binding sites, exquisite resistance to proteolysis and anti-inflammatory potential are of great advantage in mucosal protection. The markedly different effector functions of mucosal antibodies of IgG and IgA isotypes must be considered in the design of HIV-1 vaccines to stimulate S-IgA responses at sites of virus entry and IgG responses in the systemic compartment.
A Pictorial Review of Intracranial Haemorrhage Revisited
Authors: Martin Andrew , Tse George , Connolly Daniel James Anthony , Batty Ruth
Published: May 2018

Background:

The many causes of Intracerebral Haemorrhage (IH) can be difficult to
differentiate. However, there are imaging features that can provide useful clues. This paper aims to
provide a pictorial review of the common causes of IH, to identify some distinguishing diagnostic
features and to provide guidance on subsequent imaging and follow up. It is hoped that this review
would benefit radiology and non-radiology consultants, multi-professional workers and trainees
who are commonly exposed to unenhanced CT head studies but are not neuroradiology specialists.

Discussion:

In the absence of trauma, Spontaneous Intracerebral Haemorrhage (SIH) can be classified
as idiopathic or secondary. Secondary causes of IH include hypertension and amyloid
angiopathy (75-80%) and less common pathologies such as vascular malformations (arteriovenous
malformations, aneurysms and cavernomas), malignancy , venous sinus thrombosis and infection.
SIH causes between 10 to 15% of all strokes and has a higher mortality than ischaemic stroke.
Trauma is another cause of IH with significant mortality and some of the radiological features will
be reviewed.

Conclusion:

Unenhanced CT is a mainstay of acute phase imaging due to its availability and, sensitivity
and specificity for detecting acute haemorrhage. Several imaging features can be identified
on CT and, along with clinical information, can provide some certainty in diagnosis. For those suitable
and where diagnostic uncertainty remains CT angiogram, time-resolved CT angiography and
catheter angiography can help identify underlying AVMs, aneurysms, cavernomas and vasculitides.
MRI is more sensitive for the detection of subacute and chronic haemorrhage and identification
of underlying mass lesions.
The Impact of Workaholism on Nurses’ Burnout and Disillusion
Authors: Nonnis Marcello , Massidda Davide , Cuccu Stefania , Cortese Claudio G.
Published: May 2018

Background:

The literature has shown that workaholism acts at the root of burnout, but research regarding these constructs in the nursing profession is scant. Similarly, little attention has been paid to the impact of workaholism on disillusion, which is a dimension of burnout linked to professional vocation.

Objectives:

Contribute to the ongoing research on the relationship between workaholism and burnout among nurses. Moreover, this study considers disillusion as a dimension to be considered when investigating the relationship between workaholism and burnout, since nursing entails professional vocation.

Method:

The study followed a cross-sectional design. 614 nurses of six hospitals in South Italy have compiled two Self-report questionnaires: the Dutch Utrecht WorkAholism Scale (workaholism - Italian version) and the Link Burnout Questionnaire (burnout). Part of the group of subjects was diagnosed with both syndromes or considered at risk of developing them. The impact of workaholism on burnout was examined using Structural Equation Models for each variable.

Results:

More than 26% of the nurses are affected by burnout whereas 21% are workaholics. Working excessively proved to be a good predictor of both psychophysical exhaustion and disillusion.

Conclusions:

Nurses are at risk of workaholism and burnout. The study shows that workaholism is a predictor of nurses’ burnout, in particular working excessively (a dimension of workaholism) affects their psychophysical well-being and professional vocation.
Preliminary Study on Beam-To-Column Joints Under Impact Loading
Authors: D’Antimo Marina , Latour Massimo , Rizzano Gianvittorio , Demonceau Jean-François , Jaspart Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2018

Background:

Recent catastrophic events have pointed out the need to ensure the integrity of structures under “exceptional” events. Since many years, the University of Liège is involved in different activities and projects related to the robustness assessment of structures. The robustness of a structure is the ability of the system to remain globally stable after events not directly accounted for in the design, like impact, fire or consequences of a human error, which should lead to a reasonable damage when compared to the original cause.

Objective:

The presented preliminary work reports the experimental campaign of different European projects (FREEDAM and ROBUSTIMPACT) carried out or currently ongoing, with the aim of understanding the behaviour of different joint typologies under impact loading protocol.

Method:

The experimental programmes have mainly regarded static and impact tests on steel joints by the means of a dropping mass using DIC (Digital Image Correlation) for the data acquisition.

Conclusions:

In the present paper, an overview on the design criteria adopted in the design of the experimental campaign, for the FREEDAM project, is given, and some earliest results are discussed.
Fotosíntesis y rendimiento de biomasa en ají, rábano y maíz sometidos a agua tratada magnéticamente
Authors: Ospina-Salazar Daniel Iván , Benavides Bolaños Jhony Armando , Zúñiga-Escobar Orlando , Muñoz-Perea Carlos Germán
Published: May 2018

En este estudio se evaluó el efecto del agua tratada magnéticamente (ATM) en parámetros fisiológicos de ají Tabasco, rábano rojo y maíz amarillo. La mitad de las plantas de las tres especies se regaron con agua normal del acueducto, y la otra con agua tratada a través de un dispositivo magnético. Se midieron la fotosíntesis, la biomasa y el contenido mineral (este último solo en frutos de ají Tabasco). Todas las especies cultivadas con ATM aumentaron su tasa fotosintética y su conductancia estomática. Los parámetros de fluorescencia, como la fluorescencia variable (Fv /Fm) y la extinción no fotoquímica, permanecieron sin cambios en las especies evaluadas. En el ají Tabasco, el agua con tratamiento favoreció un mayor rendimiento, en parámetros como biomasa aérea, frutos por planta y área foliar, incrementándose también el contenido de nitrógeno y cationes divalentes en frutos. Además, hubo una relación parcialmente positiva entre el área foliar y el rendimiento de frutos por planta (r2=0,52 en el control y 0,30 con ATM). En contraste, en las plantas de maíz solo hubo un aumento en el peso y en los granos por mazorca, mientras que las de rábano mostraron una pérdida no significativa en la biomasa total. La mayor acumulación de biomasa observada en las plantas de ají Tabasco y maíz se atribuye a una mayor área foliar o a la asimilación de carbono. Debido a que la fluorescencia de la clorofila no se alteró, se propone que el ATM no provoca ningún cambio en el complejo de oxidación del agua del fotosistema II. Por otra parte, la falta de respuesta de algunas variables en las tres especies mostró que el ATM puede tener efectos interespecíficos. A pesar de lo anterior, esta tecnología puede ser una alternativa para mejorar el rendimiento de los cultivos, en particular en del ají Tabasco.
Efecto de dos modelos de gestión sobre fuentes de conocimiento tácito y explícito en productores de ovinos y caprinos
Authors: Ospina Rivera Oscar Fernando , Grajales Lombana Henry Alberto
Published: May 2018

Con el objetivo de entender el comportamiento del conocimiento como parte de los factores de producción y competitividad del sector ovino caprino, desde el punto de vista epistemológico se estudiaron algunas fuentes de conocimiento tácito (la imaginación, un familiar, la propia experiencia, entre otras) y explícito (las estadísticas, un investigador, las normas), en 66 granjas ovino caprinas en Colombia durante cinco años, de 2007 a 2012. En el transcurso del proceso se evaluó el efecto que tuvieron en ellas dos sistemas de gestión: el primero correspondió a un sistema de asistencia técnica “tradicional”, con análisis y recomendaciones directas del profesional al productor, y en el segundo se trabajó con asistencia basada en creación y evolución del conocimiento, según los planteamientos de la gestión del conocimiento. Los datos se examinaron mediante pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis y Chi², y análisis de clúster y de correspondencia multivariado. Se encontró que, al tomar una decisión, las granjas tienden a privilegiar las fuentes de conocimiento tácito sobre las correspondientes al explícito. La aplicación de asistencia técnica clásica con recomendaciones directas no generó diferencias en las fuentes de conocimiento explícito (p>0,05), ni en aquellas de conocimiento tácito (p>0,05). De igual forma, las granjas intervenidas con gestión del conocimiento no presentaron diferencias en las fuentes de conocimiento tácito (p>0,05),ni en las de conocimiento explícito (p>0,05). Independientemente del sistema de gestión que se utilizó, las granjas mantuvieron su predilección por las fuentes de conocimiento tácito.

La semilla de ajonjolí, Sesamum indicum L. (Pedaliaceae), presenta un gran potencial para el sector agrícola en el departamento de Sucre (Colombia), principalmente en la elaboración de productos alimenticios y biocombustibles, debido a su contenido de aceite y nutrientes. En consecuencia, el presente estudio buscó determinar los componentes del rendimiento en el ajonjolí, por medio de su descripción. Entre ellos se encuentran nudos fértiles en tallo, cápsulas por nudo fértil, semillas por cápsula, peso de mil semillas, cantidad de ramas y nudos fértiles en rama, así como el rendimiento y el contenido de aceite en semilla, para los cultivares Criollo, ICA Matoso y Chino Rojo, en el último trimestre de 2015. Las variables se analizaron mediante un diseño en bloques completos al azar y modelos de regresión simple entre el rendimiento por planta y los componentes. Se encontró un efecto significativo del factor cultivar en los componentes, excepto en el número de nudos fértiles en rama, y una mayor cantidad promedio de nudos fértiles en tallo (30), semillas por cápsula (68) y peso de mil semillas (2,86 g), en los cultivares Criollo e ICA Matoso. De igual forma, se encontraron rendimientos promedio de semilla de 1.289,8 kg/ha en Criollo, y un contenido de aceite de aproximadamente un 49% en ICA Matoso. Asimismo, el componente que tuvo una mayor asociación lineal con el rendimiento fue el peso medio de semilla, el cual posibilita seleccionar, entre los estudiados, el cultivar con mejor comportamiento.

BACKGROUND

Healthcare providers are often called to respond to in-flight medical emergencies (IFMEs), but lack familiarity with expected supplies, interventions, and ground medical control support.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to determine whether a smartphone application (airRx) improves responses to simulated IFMEs.

METHODS

This was a randomized study of volunteer, non-emergency resident physician subjects who managed simulated IFMEs with or without the app. Simulations took place in a mock-up cabin in the simulation center. Standardized participants (SPs) played the patient, family member, and flight attendant roles. Live, non-blinded rating was used with occasional video review for data clarification. Subjects participated in two simulated IFMEs (shortness of breath-SOB, syncope-SYN) and were evaluated with checklists (CL) and global ratings scales (GRS). CL item success rates, key critical action times, GRS, and pre-post simulation confidence in managing IFMEs were compared.

RESULTS

There were 29 subjects in each arm (app versus control) of the study. Mean percentages of completed CL items for the app versus control groups were 56.1 ± 10.3 vs. 49.4 ± 7.4 for SOB (p < 0.05) and 58 ± 8.1 vs. 49.8 ± 7.0 for SYN (p < 0.05). The GRS improved with the app for SYN case (3.14 ± 0.89 vs control 2.6 ± 0.97, p < 0.05), but not the SOB case (2.90 ± 0.97 vs control 2.81 ± 0.80, p = 0.43). For timed checklist items, the app group contacted ground support faster for both cases, but the control group was faster to complete vitals and basic exam. Both groups indicated higher confidence in their post-simulation surveys, but the app group demonstrated a greater increase in this measure.

CONCLUSIONS

Use of the airRx app prompted some actions, but delayed others. Simulated performance and feedback suggest the app is a useful adjunct for managing IFMEs.

Phonon-assisted relaxation and decoherence of singlet-triplet qubits in Si/SiGe quantum dots
Authors: Kornich Viktoriia , Kloeffel Christoph , Loss Daniel
Published: May 2018

We study theoretically the phonon-induced relaxation and decoherence of spin states of two electrons in a lateral double quantum dot in a SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructure. We consider two types of singlet-triplet spin qubits and calculate their relaxation and decoherence times, in particular as a function of level hybridization, temperature, magnetic field, spin orbit interaction, and detuning between the quantum dots, using Bloch-Redfield theory. We show that the magnetic field gradient, which is usually applied to operate the spin qubit, may reduce the relaxation time by more than an order of magnitude. Using this insight, we identify an optimal regime where the magnetic field gradient does not affect the relaxation time significantly, and we propose regimes of longest decay times. We take into account the effects of one-phonon and two-phonon processes and suggest how our theory can be tested experimentally. The spin lifetimes we find here for Si-based quantum dots are significantly longer than the ones reported for their GaAs counterparts.

Aisthesis: uma breve introdução à estética dos afetos
Authors: Bedore Renato Camassutti , Beccari Marcos Namba
Published: May 2018

Este artigo pretende apresentar um panorama introdutório de estudos sobre estética a partir do viés dos afetos. Nesse sentido, a estética é balizada pelos afetos humanos e não pela correspondência com algum critério de beleza (visão consolidada nos campos das artes e do design). Assim, propomos a estética como um estudo mais amplo, que trata de questões que abrangem a vida como um todo e se pauta em conceitos relacionados ao modo como somos afetados sensivelmente pelo mundo. Tal visão inicia-se com noções derivadas do pensamento sofista, passa pelo epicurismo e se desenvolve nas filosofias de Baruch Spinoza, David Hume e Friedrich Nietzsche. Por esse prisma, a dimensão estética é entendida como crucial e incontornável em nossa relação com o mundo.
Arte contemporânea e cultura visual: desdobramentos da natureza-morta no ensino das artes visuais

Neste artigo, discutimos e ilustramos com exemplos práticos que a criatividade pode ser utilizada no ensino da arte para promover a justiça social por meio de uma interpretação atualizada da cultura visual e do conteúdo do design, que é inclusivo e emancipatório por natureza. Duas experiências no ensino superior de como a pesquisa e o ensino podem promover o aprendizado criativo dentro de uma concepção contemporânea de ensino de arte, design e cultura visual são examinadas, incluindo o desenvolvimento de habilidades em pesquisa em design e no ensino de cultura visual. Esses relatos esclarecem como a pesquisa criativa e a pedagogia podem se conectar com educação e justiça social em salas de aula da educação básica e outras configurações educacionais, concluindo que pela interseção entre o design, a cultura visual e a criatividade, os arte-educadores podem transformar a injustiça em criação de um interconectado mundo de tolerância, apoio e equidade
Ensayo Visual: Superación de límites, cooperación y sentidos en las prácticas de educación artística
Authors: Ramon Camps Ricard
Published: May 2018

Através da construção de um ensaio visual, se comunica, a partir de imagens, a ideia e a necessidade de estabelecer práticas pedagógicas no ensino da arte, que abordem situações limites, como a perda da visão, a falta de mobilidade, etc. Situações que obrigam a estabelecer estratégias de empatia e cooperação artística até a consecução de práticas artísticas de colaboração, cooperação e compromisso com o outro, reforçando os sentidos e a necessidade de sentir-se um só, mas unido aos outros, na produção de uma experiência estética inigualável. O ensaio se baseia teoricamente na proposta pragmatista de Imanol Aguirre (2004) e nos fundamentos filosóficos de Dewey e Shusterman (2000).

Este trabalho objetiva apresentar o resultado de parte do projeto de pesquisa Artes Visuais & Inclusão, desenvolvido pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em Arte, Museus e Inclusão (GPAMI/UFPB/CNPq), durante a disciplina Ensino de Artes e Educação Inclusiva, do Curso de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais da UFPB, no ano de 2016. No Brasil ainda é raro o uso de recursos e tecnologias adequadas para adaptação dos acervos e exposições temporárias, seguindo as experiências de grandes instituições nacionais e internacionais, e atendendo a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão. Esses recursos apresentam um alto custo de produção e na maioria das vezes são feitos em pequena escala, o que torna o processo caro e demorado. Partimos do problema: como utilizar tecnologias de baixo custo para possibilitar acessibilidade às obras de arte do acervo da Pinacoteca UFPB? Experimentamos, selecionamos e descartamos materiais diversos e produzimos maquetes táteis de obras de arte de baixíssimo custo e alta resistência, expostas na UFPB e no IFPB.
Temperatura do ar e emissões urbanas em região industrial de São Paulo, Brasil

O objeto dessa pesquisa é analisar a relação entre a temperatura do ar e as emissões veiculares de CO2, na área urbana do ABC Paulista, localizada no sudeste da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Conjuntamente são analisadas as projeções de temperatura de dois modelos climáticos utilizados nos relatórios do Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Foram utilizados dados de temperatura do ar na escala temporal horária e mensal, e a estimativa de emissões veiculares foi realizada através do modelo de simulação de tráfego Equilibre Multimodal/Multimodal Equilibrium (EMME). Os resultados mostram que as áreas com as temperaturas mais altas se localizam no setor norte do ABC Paulista, indicando uma ilha de calor de média intensidade (3,6 oC). Este setor também se destacou como o de maior emissão veicular de CO2 em ton/km, por apresentar extensas e movimentadas vias de tráfego. As projeções dos modelos climáticos, apesar das incertezas, indicaram um cenário de dias e noites mais quentes, com um aumento de 6,3 °C na temperatura máxima anual para o período de 2071-2100. A distribuição geográfica das áreas de altas temperaturas e emissões de CO2 sugerem a contribuição do tráfego urbano para o aumento da temperatura no ABC Paulista, a qual tende a crescer conforme projeção do modelo do IPCC.

O Rio dos Sinos é um dos rios mais poluídos do Brasil. Este artigo apresenta um levantamento de informações a respeito da rede de monitoramento hidrológico da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio dos Sinos, estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Almejou identificar as diversas ações institucionais para avaliação da qualidade de água do rio. Foi realizada uma pesquisa documental por intermédio da qual se identificou os entes responsáveis pelo monitoramento hidrológico do Rio dos Sinos e seus afluentes. Constatou-se que há diversos órgãos responsáveis e que são variadas as frequências de amostragem de qualidade da água. A principal entidade responsável por esse monitoramento é a Fundação Estadual de Proteção Ambiental, que realiza a análise de parâmetros físicos, químicos e biológicos trimestralmente. Os titulares dos serviços de saneamento verificam em frequência horária, diária e mensal a água captada e os padrões dos efluentes lançados no rio. Outras entidades, estaduais e federais, realizam o monitoramento em estações fluviométricas e pluviométricas. Constatou-se, então, que o rio é altamente monitorado, porém não há integração dos dados. Os resultados de qualidade são disponibilizados com lapso temporal de três meses, e os resultados diários não são divulgados pelas companhias de saneamento ao público em geral.

A verificação da qualidade do solo é um instrumento importante para monitorar a sua degradação, e planejar a implantação de práticas sustentáveis de manejo. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade do solo em três áreas com sistema agroflorestal localizadas na Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE RURAL) de Campo Mourão, Paraná. As três áreas apresentam estágios distintos: uma inicial, com características de atividade de degradação do solo (Área 1); uma intermediária, onde foi implantado o sistema agroflorestal há um ano (Área 2); e uma avançada, apresentando formação florestal mais madura e perene (Área 3). Foram utilizados três grupos funcionais de microrganismos em cada uma das áreas, sendo eles: fungos totais, bactérias aeróbias e bactérias produtoras de celulase. Todos os microrganismos foram quantificados por Unidades Formadoras de Colônia por grama (UFC/g) de solo diluído. A Área 1 exibiu menor abundância de microrganismos totais, na ordem de 105 UFC; Área 2 apresentou composição intermediária de fungos totais, bactérias aeróbias e bactérias produtoras de celulase, com UFC em torno de 107 para os três grupos funcionais; Área 3 apresentou maior quantidade dos microrganismos em estudo, com maior quantidade de fungos (108), bactérias aeróbias (1010) e bactérias produtoras de celulase (1011). Quando comparadas as áreas dentro de cada grupo funcional, destacou-se a menor quantidade de bactérias aeróbias na Área 1 (107), assim como maior quantidade de bactérias produtoras de celulase na Área 3 (1011). Esses resultados mostram que as áreas têm qualidades distintas em relação a micro-organismos. A Área 1 com menos micro-organismos, a Área 2 com quantidades intermediárias e a Área 3 com mais colônias formadas conforme o esperado devido ao tempo de implantação do sistema agroflorestal em cada área.

UNSUR ITIZALI DALAM TAFSIR AL-KASYSYAF (Kajian Kritis Metodologi Al-Zamakhsyari)
Authors: Nisa Khairun
Published: May 2018

Tulisan ini mengkajipemikiran Al-Zamakhsyari dalam Kitab al-Kasysyaf sebagai salah satu kitab Â tafsir yang dikarang pada era keemasan Islam. Kitab tafsir yang terdiri dari 4 jilid ini dianggap sebagai kitab bernuansa sastrawi yang iâ€™tizali. Sehingga kitab ini di satu sisi mendapat kedudukan yang penting dalam perkembangan tafsir dan di sisi lain kitab ini juga mendapat hujatan karena unsur iâ€™tizali yang mewarnai penafsirannya. Padahal, unsur iâ€™tizali y ang terkandung dalam penafsirannya itu tidak terdapat di seluruh ayat al-Qurâ€™an, tapi hanya berkisar pada ayat-ayat yang berkenaan dengan al-ushul al-khamsah. Meskipun demikian, hal tersebut sangat mempengaruhi penilaian ulama lain terhadap kitab tafsir yang dikarang atas permintaan kaum Muâ€™tazilah ini. Untuk itu, dalam artikel ini akan dibahas metodologi yang digunakan oleh al-Zamakhsyari dalam menafsirkan ayat al-Qurâ€™an, khususnya corak iâ€™tizali yang terkandung di dalam kitabnya. Artikel ini juga akan mem berikan gambaran di mana letak unsur iâ€™tizali yang digunakannya serta bagaimana bentuk penafsiran al-Zamakhsyari yang menggunakan corak ini.
