Violacein, a bluish-purple pigment formed from the condensation of two tryptophan molecules, acts as a secondary metabolite important for the fitness of its producers in a given ecosystem. These microorganisms are distributed in various environments, including oceans, glaciers, rivers, and soil. Violacein is bioactive and important for the ecological relationships between organisms that coexist with producers. Therefore, the pharmacological potential of the compound can be prospected and the literature provides many examples of how violacein can be used in therapy. This chapter deals with these applications, as well as their obtaining and extraction. The text was prepared by students of the Graduate Program in Natural, Synthetic and Bioactive Products at UFPB, as a final project of the course.

The Yogyakarta city government continues to intensify the socialization of the zero inorganic waste movement which will be implemented from January 2023. The move was made to reduce the volume of waste thrown into landfills as they are in near-full condition. To carry out its responsibilities and as a form of concern for the environment, the Yogyakarta city government and the Yogyakarta city community are obliged to carry out the zero inorganic waste movement. This research is a descriptive qualitative conducted in the environment of the Department of Environment and community surrounding totaling 8 people. Data collection through observation and in-depth interviews, while data analysis using data reduction is processed and then narrated and drawn conclusions. The results showed that most people have begun to understand and conduct waste sorting as a result of the socialization carried out by the government will be zero inorganic waste. It's just that there are some houses that sometimes still don't want to sort out their own garbage before being thrown away. This is seen from the results of interviews that have been conducted in the environment around the city of Yogyakarta. The biased conclusion is that most of the people in the city of Yogyakarta have begun to sort garbage as seen from the observations that have been made.

Present atmospheric limits growth of C3 crop plants, which show response to elevated CO2 via reduced photorespiration and enhanced photosynthetic rates thereby increased growth and yield. Global research on plant responses to raising atmospheric CO2 has primarily focused on C3 species, advancing our understanding of processes underlying C3 plant acclimation and response. Therefore extensive research has been conducted to project the potential impacts of global warming on agriculture productivity through laboratory by using crop and global climate models. Canola is one of the world’s most important oilseed crops and the most profitable commodity for Canadian farmers. As a C3 cool seasoncrop, it is more susceptible to heat stress than other C3 and C4 field crops (Wu and Ma, 2018). High temperature significantly changes the rate of plant metabolic processes that ultimately reduces biomass accumulation and grainformation. A field study in Eastern Canada reported that seed yield reduced as much as 40% in 2012 due to severeheat and drought stress over normal years (Ma and Herath, 2016). High or warm temperature has been shown toinduce the floral sterility or pollen abortion and shorten seed filling duration and subsequently reduce inflorescence size in canola plants. Even high temperature could alter the partitioning of photoassimilates to roots and suppress root growth extension or change root system architecture. Late seeded canola plants often produced a smaller root system, due to higher temperature and or drought stress encounters during the crop development. Keeping these facts trial was conducted under controlled condition to know the response of canola to drought stress, elevated CO2 and temperature.

Published: February 2024

Microbes play a vital role in influencing the quality and health of soil and plants. Several studies had led to understanding of diversity and structure in the plant rhizosphere: linking with Soil Microbial diversity to Modern Agriculture, amrita gupta et.al (2022); Influence of long-term fertilization on soil microbial biomass, dehydrogenase activity, and bacterial and fungal community structure in a brown soil of northeast, China Peiyu Luo et.al (2013). The microbial population has many applications and advantages which are determined only through Long term fertilizer studies. Some of the methods used for assessing the biodiversity of these rhizosphere microbes are: 16s rRNA sequencing, DDGE, TDGE, SEM, etc. Some advantages of rhizosphere microbes are improved crop yield, fighting climate change with minimal soil and environmental degradation, the protection of human health for current and future generations, macro and micro-nutrient cycling for optimum agricultural growth, higher crop yield, and also prevents land degradation. In this article we will study about importance of biodiversity of rhizosphere microbes and various methods to identify the microbial population.

Sixty seven soil samples were collected from oil palm growing regions of NTR District of Andhra Pradesh and were analysed for different soil properties. The data was subjected to descriptive analysis to find out the variability and then to geostatistical analysis to design best fit models having minimal error for developing prediction maps. Highest variation was observed in exch. Mg and the lowest in pH. The mean values of soil pH, EC (dS/m), OC (g/kg), Olsen-P (mg/kg), NH4OAc-K (mg/kg), Exch. Ca (mg/kg), Exch. Mg (mg/kg), CaCl2-S (mg/kg) and HWB (mg/kg) were 7.32 ± 0.08, 0.25 ± 0.02, 0.87 ± 0.03, 101.47 ± 6.95, 566.14 ± 42.97, 4.72 ± 0.24, 2.46 ± 0.27, 60.86 ± 2.6 and 5.98 ± 0.25 respectively in the surface layer (0-20 cm) of the soil. Geostatistical analysis revealed wider spatial variability in surface soil properties and they had circular, spherical, stable and exponential best fit semi variogram models for evaluating dependency. The wide spatial variability of soil properties warrants site specific nutrient management for higher oil palm production. Nutrient distribution maps could be developed through kriging interpolation to interpolate the nutrient levels in unsampled areas.

Character association studies in 29 genotypes of safflower for seven characters conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Tandur revealed significant positive association of single plant yield with test weight, number of effective capitula per plant, plant height and number of seeds per capitulum. Estimates of direct and indirect effects of component characters on single plant yield at genotypic level revealed that test weight contributed for maximum positive direct effect on single plant yield followed by days to maturity, plant height and number of seeds per capitulum. Also, these traits had positive and significant association with grain yield. Critical analysis of character association and path analysis showed that these characters should be given importance to isolate superior lines with genetic potentiality for high grain yield.

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is one of the major edible oilseed crops grown in winter season in India. The first safflower hybrid released in India for commercial cultivation in all safflower growing regions was based on genetic male sterility system. Twenty two hybrids were tested using line x tester design involving two cytoplasmic male sterile lines during rabi 2018, using Randomized block design with three replications. Twenty two along with three checks 'A-1, PBNS-12, PKV Pink' were evaluated at the field of Oilseeds Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola during rabi 2019-2020 to estimate extent of heterosis in safflower genotypes. Among all the crosses, AKS CMS 2A x GMU 1183 (46.15 % and 44.30%) exhibited highly significant and positive average heterosis for number of seeds per plant over mid and better parent. crosses, AKS CMS 2A x GMU 184 (49.26% and 34.44%) exhibited highly significant and positive average heterosis for 100 seed weight, whereas, cross AKS CMS 2A x GMU 5149 (15.28% and 9.32%) exhibited highly significant and positive average heterosis for volume weight. The highest heterosis and heterobeltiosis in desirable direction were recorded for seed yield per plant in AKS CMS 2A x GMU 1654 (246.96. %) and the cross AKS CMS 3A x GMU 1183 (206.75%) showed highest and significantly positive standard heterosis over the checks i.e. PKV PINK, AKS 207 and PBNS-12.Biotechnological tools, such as genetic engineering need to be perfected for incorporation of mitochondrial male sterility causing factor of sunflower into safflower to develop safflower hybrids which can be more easily produced.

Music has been shown to benefit individuals with dementia. There are, however, limited studies examining how assisted living staff members use preferred music for dementia patients. This controlled pilot study aimed to determine: 1) whether preferred music is effective in improving mood and behaviour and 2) whether a person-centred approach to music-based interventions is feasible for individuals with dementia. The 20 participants (mean age (SD) = 81 (8)) listened to a preferred song or control song in random order over 6 weeks with a five-day wash out period between the exposures. Neurobehavioral Rating Scale (NRS) and Observed Emotion Rating Scale (OERS) were used to measure participants’ emotions and behaviour changes. Blood pressure and heart rate were collected to understand physiological responses to music. NRS was used to measure the behavioural changes in response to a listening intervention comprised of both preferred music and control music over the course of 14 sessions administered over six weeks. We observed no changes in NRS symptoms post-intervention. OERS scores and vital signs did not differ significantly between the preferred music and the control song despite trends. Participants/staff/family expressed the importance of preferred songs to evoke specific memories and increase well-being. Thematic analysis using sentiment components indicated a predominance of positive sentiment in the meaningful music category and a minor occurrence of negative sentiment in the control music.
Como comunicar más noticias

Introdução: Comunicar más notícias a pacientes e seus familiares em Hospitais é uma das mais difíceis e importantes tarefas com que se deparam as equipes de saúde e principalmente os médicos. A despeito de sua importância, muitos profissionais ainda carecem de informação e preparação suficientes para lidar com essas situações. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão da literatura a fim de organizar as melhores informações no que se refere aos fatores associados às dificuldades em comunicar más notícias bem como os passos sugeridos para uma boa comunicação das mesmas. Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa em base eletrônica (Medline), por meio das palavras chaves: bad news; physician-patients relations; comunication, com revisão por pares dos artigos encontrados. Resultados: Foram revisados 16 artigos relativos ao tema. Os principais fatores que dificultam a comunicação da equipe de saúde e do médico, em comunicar más notícias são: preocupação em como a má notícia irá afetar o paciente; receio de causar dor ao paciente ou de ser culpado pelo mesmo; receio de falha terapêutica, de problema judicial, do desconhecido, de dizer “não sei” e de expressar suas emoções. Para facilitar a comunicação das más notícias, os estudos sugerem: estabelecer uma relação médico equipe de saúde-paciente adequada; conhecer cuidadosamente a história médica; ver o paciente como pessoa; preparar o setting; organizar o tempo; cuidar de aspectos específicos da comunicação; reconhecer o que e quanto o paciente quer saber; encorajar e validar as emoções; atenção e cuidado com a família; planejar o futuro e o seguimento; trabalhar os próprios sentimentos. Discussão: Apesar de ser um tema importante para a prática clínica e possuir guias para vários grupos profissionais (Vandekief, 2001) o impacto da notificação de más notícias ainda é pouco estudado. A eficácia clínica de muitas recomendações não foram empiricamente demonstrada – menos de 25% das publicações sobre como comunicar más notícias são baseadas em estudos originais e estes estudos comumente tem limitações metodológicas. Muitos estudos têm demonstrado, no entanto, que uma educação focada no desenvolvimento de habilidade em comunicar más notícias de residentes e estudantes pode contribuir para minimização desse hiato.
Conseqüências biopsicossociais do acidente ocupacional com material biológico potencialmente contaminado

Introdução: Considerando os aspectos subjetivos do acidente ocupacional com material biológico potencialmente contaminado (MBPC), alguns estudos têm apontado o transtorno emocional frente ao episódio de acidente, contudo, tais conseqüências ainda precisam ser avaliadas de forma mais efetiva, inclusive, no que se refere às situações precursoras, à vivência subjetiva do acidente e à possível implicação desse fato na vida social e familiar do trabalhador. Objetivo: Investigar as repercussões do acidente com MBPC nas pessoas do convívio íntimo (familiares, relacionamentos amorosos e amigos próximos) dos profissionais da saúde que sofreram esse tipo de acidente. Método: Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida no Ambulatório de Acidentes Ocupacionais de Profissionais da Saúde situado no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto - USP (HCFMRP-USP). A amostra foi constituída por 13 pessoas do convívio íntimo do profissional da saúde. Para a obtenção dos dados foram utilizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas e foi adotado o critério de saturação para definir o tamanho da amostra. Os conteúdos emergentes foram analisados segundo o método de caracterização e análise de conteúdo desenvolvido por Bardin. Este estudo foi realizado considerando os aspectos éticos pertinentes a pesquisas envolvendo seres humanos. Resultados: Dentre os resultados principais, emergiram duas conseqüências do acidente com MBPC, a partir da perspectiva das pessoas do convívio íntimo do profissional da saúde. A primeira delas diz respeito às conseqüências fisiológicas (efeitos colaterais da profilaxia e acompanhamento clínico-laboratorial). A segunda conseqüência apontada diz respeito aos aspectos psicossociais (alterações do cotidiano, risco de contaminação, expectativas dos exames, reações frente à notícia, revolta, suporte familiar e reavaliação da profissão). Conclusões: As conseqüências biopsicossociais, aqui encontradas, deixam evidentes que a exposição ocupacional à material biológico potencialmente contaminado tem repercussão na vida social e familiar, configurando uma aproximação entre contextos. O espaço social e pessoal, particular, é invadido de forma desorganizadora pelo impacto do acidente.
