Authors: Gaur Yashshwani , Jaju Rishabh , Paliwal Naveen , Choudhary Usha , Bihani Pooja , Janweja Sarita
Published: May 2023

Background and Aims:

Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices are a boon to paediatric airway management. The clinical performances of the BlockBuster® laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and Ambu® AuraGain™ in preschool children were compared in this study.

Methods:

After ethical approval and trial registration, this randomised controlled study was conducted on 50 children, aged 1–4 years, randomised into two groups. Appropriate sized Ambu® AuraGain™ (group A) and LMA BlockBuster® (group B) were placed as per the manufacturer’s recommendation under general anaesthesia. Appropriate size of the endotracheal tube was then chosen and inserted through the device. Primary objective of the study was to compare the oropharyngeal seal pressure (OSP), and secondary objectives were the first attempt intubation success rate, overall intubation success rate, SGA insertion time, intubation time, haemodynamic changes and postoperative pharyngolaryngeal complications. The Chi-square test was used to analyse the categorical variables, while the intragroup comparison of mean changes in outcomes was evaluated by the unpaired t-test. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:

Demographic parameters were uniformly distributed in both the groups. The mean OSP in group A was 26.6 ± 0.95 cm H2O and in group B was 29.08 ± 0.75 cm H2O. Both the devices were successfully inserted in all the patients. The success rate of blind endotracheal intubation through the device in first attempt was 4% in group A and 80% in group B. Postoperative pharyngolaryngeal complications were relatively less in group B.

Conclusion:

LMA BlockBuster® provides higher OSP and provides a higher success rate of blind endotracheal intubation in paediatric patients.
An observational study on the timing of intubation and outcome in COVID-19 ARDS patients who were treated with high flow nasal oxygen prior to invasive mechanical ventilation: A time series analysis (InOutHFNO trial)
Authors: Kundu Rupak , Ghosh Sounak , Todi Subhash
Published: May 2023

Background and Aims:

Prolonged high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) application might delay intubation and increase mortality in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) patients. Intubation in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) AHRF (CAHRF) patients 24 to 48 hours after HFNO initiation has been associated with increased mortality in previous studies. This cut-off period is variable in previous studies. A time series analysis could reflect more robust data on outcome in relation to HFNO duration before intubation in CAHRF.

Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted at 30-bedded ICU of a tertiary care teaching hospital from July 2020 to August 2021. The study cohort comprised 116 patients who required HFNO and were subsequently intubated following HFNO failure. A time series analysis of patient outcomes on each day of HFNO application prior to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was done.

Results:

ICU and hospital mortality was 67.2%. Beyond day 4 of HFNO application, there was a trend towards increased risk-adjusted ICU and hospital mortality for each day delay in intubation of CAHRF patients on HFNO [OR 2.718; 95% CI 0.957–7.721; P 0.061]. This trend was maintained till day 8 of HFNO application, after which there was 100% mortality. Taking day four as a cut-off in the timeline of HFNO application, we have observed an absolute mortality benefit of 15% with early intubation despite a higher APACHE-IV score than the late intubation group.

Conclusion:

IMV beyond the 4th day of HFNO initiation in CAHRF patients increases mortality.
Purple Urine Bag Syndrome in Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: Jappi Yoseph , Hadi Usman
Published: May 2023

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is an unusual manifestation of urinary tract infection, characterized by purple discoloration of urine. Due to its rarity, it can be challenging for some physicians to manage it properly. In addition, its striking appearance can cause concern to some patients. This condition usually occurs in the debilitated geriatric population with prolonged use of an indwelling urinary catheter. However, our case highlights the development of PUBS in a young adult with a relatively short period of urinary catheterization.

Authors: Hrishi Thayyil Sivaraman , Vadakkekuttical Rosamma Joseph , Kanakath Harikumar , Shameena PM , Puthiyapurayil Sunitha
Published: May 2023

Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignancy of fibroblasts that seldom occurs in the oral cavity. Although rare, fibrosarcoma is an aggressive lesion associated with a poor survival rate. The occurrence of such a highly aggressive lesion on the gingiva is a diagnostic challenge for the clinician. This is because the gingiva is a common site for various inflammatory and nonspecific enlargements, which are commonly benign and the chances to overlook aggressive lesions are high. This case report describes an atypical case of fibrosarcoma of gingiva in a middle-aged individual that mimicked a nonspecific gingival enlargement.

Published: May 2023

Aim

To clinically and radiographically evaluate single visit root canal treatment (RCT) and pulpotomy in management of mature teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Patients and methods

Twenty-four patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis in their mature permanent mandibular molars, were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups according to the treatment protocol either single visit RCT or pulpotomy. For single visit RCT group, ProTaper NEXT rotary system was used for canal preparation and obturation was done using cold lateral condensation technique. While in pulpotomy group, after coronal pulp amputation and hemostasis, Biodentine was used as the pulpotomy agent. The clinical examination of tested groups was performed immediately after completing the procedure (baseline), 3, 6, 9, and 12 months posttreatment. While the radiographic examination using cone-beam computed tomography was carried out at baseline and 12 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed by χ
2 test for clinical evaluation criteria and t test for radiographic data.

Results

Single visit RCT had clinical success rate of 91.67%, while pulpotomy group showed 83.33% success rate. Radiographically, both groups showed normal width of periodontal ligament membrane space and normal bone density after follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusions

Single visit RCT and pulpotomy had high success rate in management of mature permanent teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. Pulpotomy can be considered as an alternative treatment option.

Authors: Salvador-Mata Bertran , Cortiñas-Rovira Sergi , Herrero-Solana Víctor
Published: May 2023

Introducción. Se analiza el impacto y el modo en el que la disciplina académica del periodismo investigó sobre el Covid-19 y su repercusión metodológica, temática y de fuentes. Metodología. Se obtiene un universo de 124 artículos mediante agrupación algorítmica por InCites (micro tópico periodismo, afiliación española y palabra clave covid-19). Se procede a un análisis bibliométrico, acompañado por un análisis de contenido cualitativo para generar códigos comunes en metodología, temática y uso de fuentes. Se realizan análisis cuantitativos de co-ocurrencia y correlaciones descriptivas entre las tres variables estudiadas y sus citas. Resultados. Los artículos sobre covid-19 recibieron cinco veces más citas que el resto, y la mayoría (86%) se concentran en los primeros artículos. Se emplearon mayormente metodologías clásicas (49% análisis de contenido, 16% encuestas). La revisión bibliográfica (13 citas/artículo) y las técnicas avanzadas de análisis automático (10,75 citas/artículo) son las que reciben más citas. La temática principal es la desinformación (26%, 11,07 citas/artículo) y la fuente más común la prensa (27%, 6,15 citas/artículo), si bien generan más impacto las redes sociales (22%, 9,12 citas/artículo) y los fact-checkers (10%, 8,50 citas/artículo). Discusión y Conclusiones. Los artículos que primero se publicaron generaron más citas. Se identificó un uso recurrente de estrategias clásicas (análisis de contenido, prensa) si bien son las aproximaciones ligeramente más novedosas (técnicas avanzadas de análisis automático) las que producen más citas. La desinformación deviene uno de los temas claves. Las metodologías y temáticas poco comunes no reciben prácticamente citaciones.

Authors: Setiawan Firdausy Rahma Agustiningrum , Supardi Zainul Arifin Imam , Jatmiko Budi
Published: May 2023

Objective: This study aims to discover that guided inquiry is related to science learning at the high school and junior high school levels, which can increase students' knowledge in learning. The researchers also found that guided inquiry could only improve students' literacy skills to a moderate level, which indicated that guided inquiry was needed to improve these abilities. Method: The research method used is the literature review method by collecting sources that can be used as references or related references. Results: Based on the results of the literature review that has been carried out, it was found that the use of the guided inquiry learning model is proven to be an alternative to active science learning in terms of students' thinking and cognitive skills. Learning outcomes when applying the guided inquiry learning model follow the nature of science learning, including scientific attitudes, processes, products, and applications. Novelty: Research that previous researchers have carried out needs coordination with related parties, namely schools, which will also affect the research results. In addition, this research uses a lot of guided inquiry models rather than free inquiry models, which shows a less significant difference in the results to be achieved.
The Concept of Electronic-Based THIS Planning in the Ministry of Transportation
Authors: Dharmawan Irwan
Published: May 2023

Synchronization of planning and budgeting is a common problem that is often experienced by public organizations in Indonesia, especially in the Ministry of Transportation. The gap in planning and implementation due to this problem is a symptom that the THIS (Thematic, Holistic, Integrative, Spatial) concept has not been able to run optimally and could be optimized through e-government, which does actually not yet reflect the interoperability aspects between each planning application such as e-planning & budgeting; e-performance; e-monitoring & reporting; up to ap2kp (Aplication for Appraisal of Achievement and Calculation of Empoyee Performance). This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method strengthened by an Analytical Hierarchy Process to examine the application of the electronic-based THIS concept. The results of this study provide policy advices for the preparation of a new ministerial regulation about integrated planning and develop a business process related to the planning flow within the Ministry of Transportation which accommodates the THIS concept.

Published: May 2023

Having abundant natural resources, the village is the foundation of the city. Villages have the potential to develop various natural, physical, social, demographic, and cultural resources that have not been optimally utilized. Therefore, sustainable village development is necessary to improve villagers' welfare and quality of life. This study aims to identify the status of village sustainability and sensitive attributes in village development through a case study in Cijeruk Village, Cijeruk District, Bogor Regency. The study examined four aspects of sustainability, ecology, economy, socio-culture, and legal and institutional dimensions using a Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) analysis called Rap-BUSAJI (Rapid Appraisal of Cijeruk Village Development). The study found that Cijeruk Village has a relatively sustainable status, with an overall index of 53.29%.  The study also identified ten sensitive attributes that could be used to evaluate development. These ten attributes include three ecological dimension attributes (clean water sources for communal MCK, availability of clean water, and availability of MCK in every house); 3 attributes of the economic dimension (marketing range of main commodities, types of main commodities, and availability of supporting industries for main commodities); 3 attributes of the socio-cultural dimension (average community education level, number of agricultural workforces, and number of unemployment); and one attribute of legal and institutional dimensions (maps of disaster-prone areas availability).

SGLT2 inhibitors are a class of drugs commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Although these drugs are effective in controlling blood sugar, they also have significant systemic side effects that must be considered. The most common side effects of SGLT2 inhibitors include urinary tract infections, euglycemic ketoacidosis, orthostatic hypotension, dehydration, and cardiovascular adverse events. In addition, an increased incidence of bone fractures and decreased bone mineral density has been observed in patients taking these drugs. It is important that physicians consider these side effects when prescribing SGLT2 inhibitors and monitor patients regularly for any complications. Individual benefit-risk assessment is critical before deciding to prescribe these drugs. In summary, although SGLT2 inhibitors are an effective treatment option for type 2 diabetes, their use should be carefully evaluated and monitored to minimize systemic side effects.

Tilapia skin is an attractive and viable option for the treatment of second and third degree burns in patients. Several studies have shown that tilapia skin has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that promote wound healing and reduce pain and inflammation in burn patients. In addition, tilapia skin is readily available, inexpensive and has a low probability of disease transmission. Compared to other treatment options, such as skin grafts, tilapia skin has a high success rate in promoting wound healing. More research is needed to fully establish the efficacy and safety of tilapia skin in the treatment of burns, but the current results are promising and suggest that tilapia skin may be a viable and cost-effective option for burn treatment.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Thailand is one of the major industrial countries in Southeast Asia, with a workforce of approximately 38 million people. In recent years, Thailand’s government has started to emphasize the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of the Thai workforce and has encouraged businesses to apply the principles of the “Happy Workplace” to enhance employees’ happiness and well-being. Although these principles can help businesses to systematically improve employee well-being, there are still many factors affecting employee well-being that are yet to be considered. This research aims to study the context of supervisor leadership style and employee well-being of Thailand’s M Chemical Company while conducting a departmental comparison as part of the analysis. This research is a case study that utilized literature analysis and interviews for data collection. The employees of the four major departments from the production factory of M Chemical Company were recruited as participants. The results showed that the difference in the department's job characteristics and structure influenced the department manager's leadership style. When the department manager is a transformational leader, the principles of the Happy Workplace can be enhanced to further improve the employees’ well-being.

Keywords: Leadership styles, Employee well-being, Happy workplace.

A cause of action raising a triable issue in a class action: reconsidering the certification threshold
Authors: Broodryk Theo
Published: May 2023

In Children’s Resource Centre Trust v Pioneer Food (Pty) Ltd (2013 2 SA 213 (HHA)) het ar Wallis verskeie vereistes vir sertifisering van ’n groepsgeding neergelê. Hierdie vereistes is later deur die konstitusionele hof tot blote faktore gerelegeer wat oorweeg moet word onder die hoofoorweging van die belang van geregtigheid. Een van die sertifiseringsfaktore is dat daar ’n eisoorsaak moet bestaan wat ’n beregbare kwessie openbaar. Appèlregter Wallis het bevind dat die toets wat van toepassing is om te bepaal of ’n pleitstuk eksipiabel is, gebruik moet word om te bepaal of daar wel so ’n eisoorsaak teenwoordig is. Die doel met hierdie artikel is om die benadering van die Suid-Afrikaanse hoër howe te evalueer om te bepaal of daar in die betrokke sertifiseringsaangeleenthede aan die bostaande faktor voldoen is en om sekere voorstelle te maak aangaande die manier waarop ons howe in die toekoms verkieslik met hierdie kwessie moet omgaan. Die uitspraak van r Unterhalter in De Bruyn v Steinhoff International Holdings NV (2022 1 SA 442 (GJ)) vorm die grondslag van die artikel. Die benadering van die prominente buitelandse jurisdiksie van Ontario in Kanada word ook in die artikel oorweeg. Uiteindelik word in die artikel geargumenteer ten gunste van die handhawing van ’n minder streng benadering om te bepaal of ’n eisoorsaak ’n beregbare kwessie openbaar. Eksepsies behoort deur ’n verweerder geopper te word vir oorweging deur die verhoorhof na die groepsgeding van stapel gestuur is. Die sertifiseringshof behoort bloot te bepaal of dit duidelik en voor die hand liggend is dat die eisoorsaak onhoudbaar is. Indien wel, is sertifisering onwaarskynlik omdat dit nie sou sin maak om ’n groepsgeding in sulke omstandighede te sertifiseer nie, ongeag of daar aan die ander sertifiseringsfaktore voldoen is. Maar, waar die houdbaarheid van die eisoorsaak onduidelik is, behoort dié faktor ten gunste van sertifisering te werk, met die verhoorhof wat later kan bepaal of die eisoorsaak eksipiabel is.

Authors: Shafi’i Murtala , Abubakar Salisu Bala
Published: May 2023

This article attempts to investigate how politicians used their rhetoric to influence their audiences by examining the specific types of speech rhetoric. Though they employ various of rhetorical speeches when delivering their manifestos. It thus seeks to assess the effectiveness of Speech Act Theory as a framework for analysing the speeches of Alhaji Umar Musa Yar Adua and Alhaji Abubakar Rimi in order to gain a better understanding of their political purposes. The significant events, conflicts, and challenges that the Nigerian people face while their politicians are in office are thought to have a significant impact on the types of speech acts produced in their speeches to make their points clear. This article employs a linguistic taxonomy of rhetorical speech acts based on Aristotle's theory of rhetoric. It provides a method for categorizing speech acts in order to reveal the linguistic and political premise of two well-known politicians' speeches, which stand in for significant events in Nigerians' lives. The findings of the analysis show that socio-political events in the country have a significant impact on the types of speech acts delivered by these two politicians. This is also resulting in their speeches with varying goals of encouraging voters to cast their votes on them for them to win elections.

The Motion of No Confidence as a Mean of Parliamentary Control in Relation to the Government and the Dissolution of the Parliament: A Comparative View Between Kosovo, France, Germany, Italy and Croatia
Authors: Riza Arif , Kryezi Alban
Published: May 2023

From the treatment that has been given to the role of the motion of confidence-no-confidence as a means of controlling the parliament in relation to the government and its effects that are produced in the inauguration of the government or in the dissolution of the assembly and the announcement of early elections, efforts have been made to underline the characteristics of this means of control, especially in countries with a parliamentary system, and the consequences it produces in the continuation or shortening of the governing mandate. When it comes to obtaining the confidence of the government through a motion of no confidence by the parliament, one naturally thinks of a rather harsh political and constitutional mean that exposes the political responsibility of the prime minister and his government cabinet or ministerial council. In the most adequate treatment of this issue, the comparative method between different states has been used, drawing parallels between the Republic of Kosovo and these states, in terms of the motion of no confidence as an extraordinary means of parliamentary control. The role of the President of the State in such a political momentum is extremely important, in creating the conditions for a government that enjoys parliamentary support.

São considerados fauna exótica invasora e, por conta dos seus possíveis danos ao meio ambiente, agricultura e ser humano, o IBAMA desde 1995 adotou a caça para o controle populacional. Revogada em 2010, a caça de controle retornou em 2013. Todavia, como está regulada, se assemelha à caça recreativa, sem eficácia na redução populacional. Além disso, para a ética animal o javali é um ser senciente e seus interesses devem ser considerados na política de controle. Assim, objetiva-se compreender os métodos de controle populacionais do javali, sua eficácia e compatibilidade com as vertentes éticas do direito ambiental e animal. Para tanto, adotou-se o método dedutivo, partindo dos princípios normativos e de tese geral de cunho doutrinário para chegada a uma possível conclusão, também se trata de pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa direcionada à compreensão do objeto. Conclui-se que a caça de controle do javali é ineficaz como técnica de controle populacional e não encontra legitimidade jurídica para seu exercício, mesmo que autorizada por decisões administrativas.

The present work examined the in vivo antispasmodic and nephroprotective potentials of methanolic extracts obtained from Algerian native propolis and bee pollen. The in vivo antispasmodic activity was assessed by the intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid (1%) which induced long-lasting visceral pain in mice. The renal damage was modelled by intraperitoneal injection of a cisplatin (CP; 10 mg/kg) followed by histopathological changes in kidneys. In addition, the beehive by-products were screened for their bioactive content and in vitro antioxidant activities. The propolis and bee pollen are rich sources of bioactive compounds. The propolis showed the highest antioxidant potencies as evaluated by β-carotene bleaching system (87.16 ± 3.69%), DPPH (176.05 ± 0.20 µg/mL), and FRAP (0.61 ± 0.002 μmol Fe(II)/g) assays. The antispasmodic test revealed that propolis extract (250 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the number of spasms (61.04 ± 3.92%) induced by acetic acid. Based on histopathology examinations, bee pollen extract at 250 mg/kg significantly reduced nephrotoxic effects induced by CP injection. These results provided a good scientific basis for future research on antispasmodic and nephroprotective effects and/or mechanisms of propolis and bee pollen, which confer them a real application in drug discovery.

The quality of camellia seed oil (CSO) varies with the oil extraction methods. In the present work, the oil yield, physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, fatty acid composition, and Fourier transform infrared spectra of CSOs prepared by supercritical fluid, aqueous, pressing, and solvent extraction were explored systematically. Additionally, the microstructure of camellia seed cake after oil extraction was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that supercritical fluid extraction had the highest oil yield (92.42%), and the extracted oil was also superior to the other methods in the contents of polyphenol, β-sitosterol, and squalene, which were 89.34, 3173.23, and 6.20 mg/kg, respectively. Moreover, CSO extracted by supercritical fluid extraction had lower peroxide value and better colour indexes. In terms of fatty acid composition, CSOs extracted by supercritical fluid, pressing, and solvent extraction were similar, while CSO extracted by aqueous extraction had higher saturated fatty acid contents and lower unsaturated fatty acid contents than the other samples. Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis showed that the extraction methods had no significant effect on the chemical functional groups of CSOs. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that supercritical fluid extraction and solvent extraction could more effectively promote the release of oil from camellia seeds. In general, the quality of CSOs extracted by different methods had significant differences, and supercritical fluid extraction could be a promising extraction method for CSO.

Authors: Covaci Brindusa , Covaci Mihai
Published: May 2023

The present work discussed the importance of mountain foods/products and services in the context of healthier nutrition and behaviour with the application to agribusiness. It highlighted the necessity of human behaviour in consuming mountain products as natural probiotics. It analysed mountain food and the associated entrepreneurship for Austria and other Central and Eastern European countries (foods/products and services), especially from the mountain area. The Eurostat database used experimental and clinical research regarding representative mountain food from Central and Eastern European areas. Data from Eurostat are processed in Excel and SPSS, using similar models of analysis from published papers. Experimental analysis was obtained and collected from different recognised sources. The clinical study is family-based background. Results presented mountain products with natural probiotic effects, and pointed out the importance of useful Central and Eastern European natural probiotics, namely yogurt, Allium sativum (garlic), natural honey, and the Austrian entrepreneurship of mountain products model followed by the Central and Eastern European countries. Central and Eastern European countries present important mountain products such as natural probiotics, useful for healthier nutrition and behaviour. Mountain entrepreneurship has developed significantly in the last decade; people from these areas recognise the importance of mountain products in developing healthier nutrition and behaviour.

This research was carried out in Ordu University Faculty of Agriculture Laboratory in 2020. Planting of rice by seedling method is a widely used method. In this method where stronger seedlings are generally preferred, it is desired that the seeds should be of good quality, healthy and have strong germination ability. In this context, it was aimed to determine the effects of five different vermicompost applications on some germination characteristics of three different paddy varieties. In this study, five different doses of soil-applied vermicompost (0-2-4-6-8 ml liquid manure/100 ml water) and three different paddy varieties (Aslı, Osmancık 97 and Baldo) were used. The study was conducted in glass petri dishes under laboratory conditions. The experiment was established according to the factorial experimental design in randomized plots with 3 replications. In the study, germination rate (strength) was 88-100%, average germination time was 3.15-3.96 days, germination index was 4.00%-4.55%, shoot length was 43.24-62.42 mm, root length was 64.62-85.03 mm, shoot wet weight was 4.16-5.27 mg, shoot dry weight was 0.03-0.04 mg, root wet weight was 4.00-5.79 mg and root dry weight was 0.03-0.04 mg. The effects of cultivars on germination rate, germination time and germination index were statistically significant. On the other hand, the effect of vermicompost doses on average germination time and shoot length was statistically significant.
Çağdaş Uluslararası İlişkilerde Postkolonyalizmin Önemi
Authors: FEDAYEE Mohammad Javid
Published: May 2023

Bu makalenin amacı, Batılı ana akım Uluslararası İlişkiler teorilerine, özellikle üçüncü dünya ülkelerindeki batı egemenliğine güçlü bir şekilde meydan okuyan postkolonyal teori kavramını araştırmaktadır. Postkolonyal teorisyenler, dünyanın batılı ve batılı olmayan bölgelere ayrıldığını ve mevcut dünya düzeninin, Avrupa ülkelerinin kolonizasyon süreci yoluyla üçüncü dünya ülkeleri üzerindeki hakimiyetlerini genişletmesine yol açan eşitsizliğe dayandığını savunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, postkolonyal düşünce, önceki sömürgeleri Avrupa ülkelerinden kültürel, sosyal, ekonomik ve politik bağımsızlıklarını geri almaya teşvik ederek batı egemenliğine karşı çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, postkolonyal teori 1978'de önde gelen bilim adamı Edward Said tarafından ortaya çıkmıştır, ancak uluslararası ilişkilere olan güçlü katkısı, üç kıtalı ülkelerin farklı bilim adamlarını üçüncü dünyadaki batı egemenliğini ortadan kaldırmaya yöneltmiştir.

The apple tree is a leading fruit crop in Ukraine in terms of production volumes and planting areas and is a valuable food product with a high content of vitamins. In new modern plantings, fruit producers prefer intensive cultivation technologies that ensure the maximum amount of high-quality fruit yield per unit area. The main criterion for solving this problem is the design of plantings: a narrow-row scheme for planting trees and a low-volume crown shape. The purpose of the study was to establish the influence of the pruning period of different types of crown formations on the growth and productivity of apple trees of two varieties: Fuji and Honey Crisp. The study was conducted in the conditions of the central Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (Uman National University of Horticulture). The scheme of planting was 4x1 m, M.9 rootstock, chernozem sod-podzolic soil, drip irrigation. Field, statistical, and computational-analytical methods were used in the course of the study. It was identified that the growth pattern of the examined varieties differed substantially, and crown volume, projection area, and development of the feeding area prevailed in Honey Crisp trees. However, in terms of productivity, the plantings of the Fuji variety substantially exceeded the values of the Honey Crisp variety. Forming a ballerina crown with the removal of overgrown wood in a 25 cm zone on the central trunk above the lower tier of semi-cellular branches provided an increase in the growth activity of the examined trees by 3-5%. A substantial decrease in the values of crown parameters was provided by the formation of the French axis crown – there was a decrease in the crown diameter by 44%, the crown volume – by 67%, and the crown projection area and the development of the feeding area – by 69%. Performing additional summer pruning of trees also helped to reduce growth activity by 6-11%. However, the specific productivity of plantings doubled in plantings with the formation of the French axis and by 45-50% with the introduction of double pruning of trees. It is recommended that agricultural producers investigate the terms of pruning low-volume crown forms, considering varietal characteristics, to create compacted apple stands and increase the intensification of production
Movilizarse tiene sentido: Análisis cultural en el estudio de movilizaciones sociales
Authors: Paredes Juan
Published: May 2023

Este artículo expone algunas de las perspectivas teóricas que permiten analizar  las movilizaciones sociales desde una mirada cultural. En primer lugar  se realiza un diagnóstico de la situación en el campo de estudios de la movilización social, argumentado la hegemonía de las perspectivas estratégicas y estructurales, así como el actual boom en la producción de acercamientos de orientación cultural. Luego, partiendo de los argumentos proporcionados por el interaccionismo simbólico, se revisan tres teorías orientadas culturalmente para estudiar las movilizaciones: a) la identidad colectiva; b) los marcos de acción colectiva; y c) la acción situada y las arenas públicas. La conclusión es presentada en términos de pronóstico para el campo de estudios de las movilizaciones sociales.
