EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL E OS HÁBITOS DE MANEJO DOS RESÍDUOS DOMICILIARES DOS MORADORES DO MUNICÍPIO DE GUARUJÁ, BRASIL
Authors: Kumschlies Marcia Celia Galinski , Schalch Valdir
Published: April 2023

O desenvolvimento mundial das últimas décadas conjugado ao crescimento na produção de bens de consumo tem impactado diretamente na produção dos resíduos sólidos urbanos, tornando-se um grande problema socioambiental. Foi nesse cenário que em 2010 foi instituída a Lei 12.305 denominada Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, regulamentada pelo Decreto 10.936/2022.  A efetividade das ações necessárias e preconizadas por esta legislação está consolidada no Programa Nacional de Educação Ambiental e na Política de Educação Ambiental. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi conhecer o nível de consciência ambiental e os hábitos de descarte dos resíduos domiciliares dos moradores de Guarujá, Brasil. A metodologia adotada se apoiou em uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Foi realizada uma pesquisa com 384 estudantes universitários do município. Os resultados permitiram concluir que existe uma moderada consciência ambiental no que concerne ao conhecimento sobre a forma correta do descarte dos resíduos, entretanto, é possível afirmar que eles não estão engajados para a adoção de comportamentos ambientalmente responsáveis, haja vista, que a pesquisa revelou que 77% dos respondentes descartam os resíduos recicláveis junto com a coleta regular. Neste cenário, a educação ambiental deve ser fomentada como um processo participativo e contínuo, devendo promover a capilaridade da sociedade e o diálogo com as diferentes instâncias de poder, despertando atitude cidadã por meio de uma consciência crítica e a aquisição de hábitos ecologicamente corretos e responsáveis do manejo dos resíduos que contribuem para diminuir ou mitigar a degradação ambiental.

Estudar as tendências de vazão é importante para compreender a variabilidade hidrológica e para determinar o que têm influenciado nos seus aumentos ou decaimentos. O presente trabalho analisa as tendências espaço-temporais das séries anuais de vazão média na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Amazonas (porção brasileira) de 92 estações fluviométricas através de testes não paramétricos de Mann-Kendall e Sen’s Slope para cinco períodos distintos (1975-2014, 1980-2014, 1985-2014, 1995-2014 e 2000-2014). Os resultados apontam que as séries de vazões médias estão aumentando na Bacia Amazônica para todos os períodos analisados. Nas sub-bacias da margem direita do rio Amazonas, Tapajós e Madeira, o período mais recente (2000-2014) registra as maiores tendências de aumento significativo da vazão média anual a partir de 1998 e que atingem os maiores valores já observados. Tendências de decaimento da vazão média foram encontradas em seis estações das sub-bacias do Tapajós e Madeira. A magnitude das tendências pelo teste de Sen’s Slope, de dados significativos ou não significativos, mostra que há comportamento de aumento das taxas de vazão em toda bacia amazónica, que pode ser influenciado por sistemas atmosféricos atuantes na região (como Zona de Convergência Intertropical, ENOS, Circulação Geral e Alta da Bolívia) ou mudanças de uso e ocupação do solo, como o desmatamento da margem direita do Rio Amazonas.

As bombas funcionando como turbinas (BFT) são uma alternativa sustentável para geração de energia aproveitando o potencial hidráulico de um local. Entretanto, dificuldades são encontradas na predicação da curva característica em modo turbina para pontos de operação fora da condição nominal, a partir de curvas fornecidas pelos fabricantes de bombas. Este trabalho tem como propósito prever a faixa de operação de BFT de bombas selecionadas para funcionar como válvulas redutoras de pressão (VRP) no sistema de abastecimento de água (SAA) da Vila Permanente, em Tucuruí – Pará, Brasil. Avaliaram-se três estudos experimentais para a previsão de altura (Ht) e vazão (Qt) de BFTs no modo turbina no melhor ponto de eficiência (BEP). Em seguida, aplicou-se um segundo método que considera toda faixa de operação da BFT, combinado com os métodos no BEP para obter curvas características QxH (vazão x altura) e Qxη (vazão x eficiência) da BFT. Com os valores de altura e vazão dos pontos de pressão no SAA em estudo, selecionaram-se bombas centrífugas para funcionar como turbinas, aplicando a melhor combinação de método e obtendo as curvas características da BFT no modo turbina, de modo a obter a faixa de operação da BFT, além dos cálculos de recuperação parcial de energia com valores em
Plant Nutrient Deficiency using AI
Authors: Baraskar Namrata
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The Indian economy heavily relies on agriculture, which involves the cultivation of various plants for food and other products, as well as the raising of domesticated animals. Nutrients are crucial for agriculture and crop production, and nutrient deficiency is one of the many factors that can cause a decrease in crop yield. Detecting nutrient deficiency and determining theappropriate fertilizer to address it is a major challenge faced by farmers. To enhance productivity, agricultural automation has made significant advancements in recent years. One such automated technique is the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to process captured images of crops. By comparing these images to an existing dataset, the CNN can identify nutrient deficiencies in crops and indicate the percentage of deficiency. The LCD display will show the name of the disease associated with the nutrient deficiency and the appropriate amount of fertilizer required. This technology can alleviate the burden of manual nutrient deficiency detection faced by farmers and can help optimize fertilizer use to enhance crop yield

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 28-36. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.028036 The study was carried out to evaluate toxicity and sublethal effects of lufenuron, novaluron, and lambda-cyhalothrin on natural enemies such as Chrysoperla carnea. All sub-lethal concentrations caused a significant decrease in oviposition period, total fecundity, longevity, and total life span of C. carnea compared to the control. Maximum and minimum mean lifespan of C. carnea individuals were observed in the untreated group and LC30 concentration of novaluron. Total fecundity varied from 153.47 offspring/individual in treatment with LC30 novaluron to 300.12 offspring/individual in the control treatment. The highest value for intrinsic and finite rate of increase (r, λ) was obtained by the concentration of lambda-cyhalothrin. The net reproduction rate (R0) reached its lowest level in novaluron treatment. As a result, the effects of sublethal concentrations of lufenuron, novaluron, and lambda-cyhalothrin on C. carnea were assessed and discussed to design improved integrated management programs.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 48-53. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.048053 Suitability of the aphid species Brevicoryne brassicae L., Aphis craccivora Koch, Hyalopterus pruni Geoffroy and Aphis illinoisensis Shimer as preys for the predator Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) development and reproduction was evaluated under laboratory conditions of 20±2ºC temperature and 70±5% relative humidity. Results obtained revealed that the prey species had significant effect on the development and predation rate of H. convergens immatures. The shortest total larval developmental period (12.82 days) was observed for the beetle fed on A. craccivora, whereas the longest (16.32 days) was recorded for the beetle fed on H. pruni. H. convergens consumed significantly more individuals of H. pruni (278.34) during its larval period than A. craccivora (186.76), B. brassicae (227.87) and A. illinoisensis. (211.94). The lowest immature stages mortality rate was recorded when they were fed on A. craccivora (6.47%), followed by those fed on A. illinoisensis (8.05%), B. brassicae (9.65%) and H. pruni (13.6%). Meanwhile, adult females consumed significantly more individuals of H. pruni (4937.40) than B. brassicae, A. illinoisensis (3693.92, 3432.15) and A. craccivora (2953.5). Highest fecundity (564.00 eggs) was recorded when females of H. convergens were fed on A. craccivora. In addition, beetle adult females and males that fed on H. pruni had significantly longer life span than those fed on the other three aphid species. The investigation provides useful information for the utilization of the H. convergens predator in IPM programs to protect faba bean, cabbage, grapevine and stone fruit trees from aphids as well as other sap sucking pests.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Commercial Plant Extracts of Palazin and Tondxier Against the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbest) Under Laboratory Conditions. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 54-57. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.054057 The Effect of Tondxier and Palazin plant extracts on the mortality of the flour beetle T. castaneum (Herb) was investigated. Plant extracts were separately tested under laboratory conditions against the beetles using a topical spray. Beetles were sprayed with plant suspensions at different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 ml/L) for both Tondxier and Palazin. Mortality was recorded daily for 15 days while beetles were kept on wheat flour. Both Tondxier and Palazin had an impact on T. castaneum. Commercial Tondxier was more effective than Palazin at the same concentrations tested. Nevertheless, significant differences in the mortality rate at the end of the experiments between second, and 5 th instar larvae and adults treated with Palazin and Tondxier extracts were observed. Second and 5 th instar larvae were more susceptible, and adults were more resistant to Palazin and Tondxier treatments. This study showed that mortality rate increases with increased concentration and length of exposure times. Results obtained suggested that the two plant extracts of Palazin and Tondxier used in this study can be used as potent insect control agents. Keywords: Palazin, Tondxier, Tribolium castaneum, larvae

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 77-84. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.077084 Endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs) are repetitive sequences that have been discovered mostly in the Kingdom Plantae, particularly in various species of the family Solanaceae. In this study, the draft genome of an endogenous retrovirus identified by next generation sequencing (NGS), was found integrated in the genome of Solanum lycopersicum. Results of the homology alignment revealed that the virus identified was Tobacco vein clearing virus (TVCV), is a member of the genus Solendovirus, family Caulimoviridae. It consists of a double-stranded DNA genome of 7,760 nucleotides in length. Additionally, it has four open reading frames (ORFs), which encodes Solendovirus typical conserved domains that comprise the putative coat protein (ORF1), putative cell-to-cell movement protein (ORF2), the polyprotein (ORF3), which comprises the aspartic protease, reverse transcriptase and RNase H, as well as the putative Trans-activator factor (ORF4). Sequence alignment analysis revealed that the Iraqi TVCV had 81.60% sequence identity to the INSDC Tobacco vein clearing virus (AF190123.1), that was only reported to be integrated in the genome of some species of Nicotiana spp. However, in the current study, TVCV genome was identified associated with genome of S. lycopersicum. This new fact was further verified through BLASTn analysis that confirmed the presence of TVCV genome associated with the genome of several cultivated and wild S. lycopersicum worldwide. In conclusion, the TVCV is the first EPRVs of Solendovirus members discovered in the S. lycopersicum identified from Iraq.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Attitudes, Barriers, and Current Use Among Family Medicine Residents and Practicing Physicians
Authors: Ludden-Schlatter Alicia , Kruse Robin L. , Mahan Reiana , Stephens Luke
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has high interest among learners and educators, but many barriers inhibit training and clinical use. Interest and barriers may differ between educators, trainees, and practicing physicians. This study investigates interest in POCUS, confidence in POCUS skills, and barriers to POCUS use for residents, academic family physicians, and community providers.
Methods: Online surveys sent to current residents, faculty, and graduates of an academic family medicine residency compared current use, comfort, training, perceived importance, barriers, and interest in future use of POCUS.
Results: Most participants (95.6%) agreed that POCUS was somewhat or extremely important to family medicine. Most participants also reported interest in all POCUS indications, other than obstetrics. Very few (5.4%) reported being extremely comfortable using POCUS. Most residents were somewhat comfortable, whereas most faculty and graduates were not at all comfortable. A majority in each group reported inexperience with equipment and interpreting images as a barrier. One-third of faculty and graduates reported “not billable” as a barrier. Statistically significant differences were found between groups’ reports of prior training, current use, and interest in POCUS for obstetrics.
Conclusions: Family medicine residents, faculty, and community physicians reported high perceived importance of and interest in nonobstetric POCUS, but low comfort level in performing POCUS. Resident and faculty barriers may vary according to practice environment and differing time constraints. Senior faculty may have less POCUS training and comfort using POCUS than residents, highlighting the importance of continuing faculty education.

Published: April 2023

In this study, it is evaluated how different types of organizations influence the connection between accounting quality and trade credit in Iraqi public companies. Trade credit, defined as accounts payable as a percentage of total assets, is the dependent variable of this study. Accounting quality is the independent variable, and it is measured in three ways: the ability to sustain profits, the ability to predict profits, and the ability to manage real earnings (Arora & Singh, 2021). The sample size is 35 different companies from the years 2011–2016. When we look at this time frame, we see a financial crisis between 2011 and 2013 (when ISIS invaded Iraq) and a period after the crisis, from 2014 to 2016, where things began to stabilize again. To test our assumptions, we employ panel data in Stata 14. According to the findings, firm type has no bearing on the connection between firm sustainability and trade credit, but it does moderate the connection between profit predictability and trade credit. Finally, firm type has a positive and statistically significant bearing on the connection between real earnings management and trade credit.
Sustainability reporting as strategic crisis response mechanism: An innovative approach
Authors: Zam Zuraidah Mohd , Yusoff Haslinda , Ismail Rina Fadhilah , Fauzi Hasan
Published: April 2023

Most companies have been severely affected by various business risks due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Their limited resources during this adverse period have forced them to be more concerned with their companies’ survival than making sustainability initiatives that incur extra costs. Consequently, companies have faced a challenge in reporting imposed-sustainability statements. According to Wenzel et al. (2020) and Zharfpeykan and Ng (2021), companies can innovatively improvise the regular sustainability reporting to become a strategic tool to portray to stakeholders how companies respond to and address sustainable matters during a crisis period. Thus, this paper presents the concept of sustainability reporting as a strategic crisis response mechanism and proposes a model and matrix that maps the stakeholder engagement disclosure strategy with quality disclosure. Moreover, the paper discusses how this reporting can be influenced by internal governance mechanisms. The paper further suggests the moderating role of enterprise risk management (ERM) in this relationship. This concept can potentially guide managerial decisions on ideal sustainability practices that may not impair companies’ capacity to survive during future crises. It may act as an effective instrument in meeting stakeholders’ expectations of companies to perform their roles as good corporate citizens during a crisis

Population genetics using low coverage RADseq data in non-model organisms: biases and solutions
Authors: Mona Stefano , Benazzo Andrea , Delrieu-Trottin Erwan , Lesturgie Pierre
Published: April 2023

Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) allows the
genotyping of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in
many individuals at a reduced cost. However, achieving the desired
sequencing depth is challenging in non-model organisms, where the
expected number of RADseq loci is unknown. The impact of low coverage
sequencing in RADseq experiment on the estimated population genetic
parameters has not yet been fully characterized. Here we performed an in
silico RADseq experiment by extracting loci from whole genome sequences
of diploid individuals simulated under various demographic scenarios. We
generated fastq files from the extracted loci and evaluated the
performance of three bioinformatics pipelines to discover genetic
variants, namely STACKS v.1, STACKS v.2 and ANGSD. We specifically
focused on the accuracy of each pipeline to produce datasets retrieving
the genetic variability and the historical demography of the simulated
populations for several average depth of coverage. For low coverage
datasets (<15x) STACKS v.1 and, to a lesser extent, STACKS
v.2, were highly sensible to assembly parameters, showing for all
scenarios: i) deficit in genetic diversity; ii) site frequency spectrum
(SFS) skewed toward low frequency variants. This led to a pronounced
bias in the inferred demographic history, particularly for larger
samples size, a parameter typically associated with greater confidence
in the inferences. Conversely, ANGSD correctly retrieved the genetic
variability for most of the simulated scenarios and assembly parameters.
We confirmed our findings, based on simulated data, in an empirical
RADseq dataset and provide practical guidelines to perform robust
demographic inferences in low coverage experiments.
The effect of humor on cognitive control of IGT performance: a psychophysiological study of gender differences
Authors: Flores-Torres Jorge , McRae Kateri , Campos-Arteaga German , Gómez-Pérez Lidia
Published: April 2023

Background/objectives: To assess the effect of humor on IGT
decision-making as a function of gender, and to explore the neural
correlates underlying this effect. Method: We randomly assigned
participants (N = 60; 30 men and 30 women) to either an experimental
Humor Group (Hg) or a control non-Humor Group (NHg) and asked them to
perform a long-version (500 trials) of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT).
Participants’ EEG response was recorded while solving the IGT. Results:
Men in the Hg demonstrated impaired monitoring and learning of the task
compared to men in the NHg. Later, women in the Hg, exhibited more
integrated attention to rewards and punishments along with a decrease in
random choices when compared with women in the NHg. Behavioral and EEG
results support that humor is beneficial for women’s cognitive control
of IGT performance but impairs it in men.

Published: April 2023

Immigrant experiences in the U.S. can be particularly difficult, yet research indicates that family support and engagement on social networking sites with others who experience mental health issues can ameliorate their difficulties and improve psychological wellness. In order to determine what factors are related to immigrants’ mental health communication behaviors with family, we conducted a survey among U.S. immigrants (N = 331). Results indicated that social media mental health exposure (SMMHE) was positively related to open communication. Further, self-stigma mediates the relationship between SMMHE and open communication, providing evidence for the idea that the mere exposure effect can influence attitudes and behavior. As such, it is possible that exposure to mental health content on social media may positively influence offline communication behaviors.

Published: April 2023

Background/Aim. Vision and health problems associated with the use of computers and other digital devices are known as computer vision syndrome (CVS). Advances in technology have led to increased use of computers, so the prevalence of these symptoms is increasing. The aim of this study was to calculate the overall prevalence of CVS and CVS symptoms using meta-analysis. Methods. The study was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement. In July 2021, a systematic search of four electronic databases with article collections was performed: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The key search terms were: ?computer vision syndrome?, ?computer users?, ?digital eyestrain?, ?headache?, ?dry eyes?, ?red eyes?, ?eyestrain?, ?neck pain?, ?back pain?, and ?shoulder pain?. The articles included in the study had to be original articles written in English only, and the criterion that had to be met was that the research included computer users. As a result, the prevalence of CVS or the prevalence of any of the symptoms of CVS had to be measured. Results. A total of 43 articles were fully reviewed, of which 20 were included in the meta-analysis. The total calculated prevalence for all studies was 74.4%, while the prevalence for individual symptoms was: headache ? 43%, dry eyes ? 24.4%, eyestrain ? 29%, red eyes ? 20.7%, and neck, back, or shoulder pain ? 46.3%. Conclusion. The results obtained are worrying and point to the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to solving CVS-related problems.

Published: April 2023

This paper reviews the interpretation of one of the figures of modern interpretation, in which the interpretation is expected to be a solution to the problems of human life as the Qur'an was revealed as a mercy to the universe. Among the problems is leadership. Among the mufassir figures in Indonesia who have sat in government is Buya Hamka, who not interprets verses indices by getting involved in government. This study aims to find out how Buya Hamka interprets leadership in the Qur'an. The method used is a descriptive analysis where the primary source used is the book of al-Azhar interpretation. The author also explains asbab nuzul verses related to leaders in the Qur'an. Buya Hamka explained the meaning of a leader by using society's social context and conditions at that time and in a global context. Buya Hamka explained that fair leadership is omniscient and submissive to what God commands by providing benefit to the community without any elements to lead them astray.

Misjudgments in court cases are inevitable in any judicial system irrespective of how civilized the country in which the judicial system is. The economic effects of failed court judgments cannot be overemphasized. The passing of wrong judgments can be a result of a lack of evidence due to poor research by counsels. Preparing for a court case is not an easy fit as a lot of research must be done on the part of the attorneys in charge. This paper presents an improved Hybrid model for legal case document classification. The system starts by collecting legal case documents from an online domain. The collected documents were converted to texts using a pdf miner library in python. The converted texts were used in creating tables using the pandas library. After the creation of the dataset table, the dataset was pre-processed by removing noise, and non-alphanumeric values, and performing tokenization. The tokenized data was then passed into principal component analysis for the selection of important features. The selected features were used in training an LSTM model for the classification of the legal case documents. The system was designed with Object-Oriented Analysis and Design method and implemented using python programming language. The result of the LSTM is outstanding, having an accuracy of 99% when evaluated with unseen legal case documents. The model was deployed in building a web application for the classification of legal documents. Upon testing the application with emerging documents, it sufficiently classified them and reduced tremendously the conflicting judgments experienced before the application of the improved model for legal case classification.

En este trabajo describimos las actividades llevadas a cabo por poblaciones prehispánicas en el Abrigo Abra del Toro, luego de la gran erupción del Complejo Volcánico Cerro Blanco. Este abrigo se ubica al sur del valle de Yocavil y cuenta con un registro estratificado. Las actividades fueron reconstruidas a partir del análisis de los materiales líticos, cerámicos, arqueofaunísticos y antracológicos. Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten sostener que cerca del primer milenio de la era el abrigo rocoso fue ocupado de forma recurrente, funcionando en forma complementaria con un taller lítico cercano y manteniendo conexiones estilísticas y de producción cerámica con otros sitios contemporáneos de la región. Un aporte sustancial de este trabajo es demostrar que este espacio fue reocupado luego de un evento catastrófico, persistiendo en la memoria de las poblaciones prehispánicas.
¿Desde lejos no se ve? Conectando territorios a partir de las relaciones visuales entre el arte rupestre de Los Llanos de La Rioja y el Noroeste argentino

Published: April 2023

En la década de 1940 Salvador Canals Frau propuso que las sociedades prehispánicas que habitaron el área de Los Llanos riojanos habrían permanecido aisladas de otras poblaciones vecinas, generando una cultura material, una lengua y una identidad propias. Desde hace algunos años, nuestro equipo de trabajo realiza relevamientos y estudios sistemáticos en el área, con resultados pertinentes para discutir aquel supuesto. En tal sentido, se establecieron relaciones concretas entre Los Llanos y otras regiones, que debilitan la noción de aislamiento geográfico y cultural sostenido por Canals Frau. Para profundizar sobre esta línea, en esta oportunidad se exploran los vínculos visuales entre el espacio llanista y el NOA, con énfasis en determinadas figuras que, en el mundo andino, habrían incorporado significados socialmente relevantes. Entre estas se incluyen representaciones de objetos metálicos que sugieren algunas conexiones significativas y sostenidas entre ambas áreas, en particular durante el milenio previo a la invasión española.
