Taxing Where Value Is Created: Whats User Involvement Got to Do with It?
Authors: Becker Johannes , Englisch Joachim
Published: February 2022

According to the OECD and the EU Commission, profits should be taxed ‘where value is created’. A commonly accepted definition of the term ‘value creation’ is so far lacking, however. This article offers a pragmatic and contextualized analysis of the new ‘value creation’ paradigm and examines its implications for international tax policy in the era of digitalization. In particular, it critically discusses the role of users that are said to contribute to value creation, for example by forming valuable networks, providing data or posting online content. The authors reject the argument that, due to user involvement in a firm’s value creation, the location of user groups and networks should give rise to taxation rights. They conclude that a better option is to recalibrate the international tax system based on the concept of sustained user relationships (SURE) which aligns itself with the rationale of a consistently defined notion of ‘value creation’.
The Proposed EU Digital Services Tax: An Anti-Protectionist Appraisal Under EU Primary Law
Authors: Dimitropoulou Christina
Published: February 2022

Fair taxation in the digital era is at stake. Business activities are not considered to be taxed where value is created, while value is currently claimed to be created where consumers of digital goods and services are located. The proposed EU digital services tax (DST) consists of an interim tax policy option to address the above issue and harmonize the already adopted unilateral measures across the EU. This article examines the European proposal for a common system of a DST on revenues resulting from the provision of certain digital activities in light of Article 110 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and evaluates its potential impact on the digital single market. It is argued that as far as the taxation of digital intermediation services are concerned, the DST risks being regarded as discriminatory internal taxation under Article 110 of the TFEU, having an immediate effect on imported products sold via a digital interface in the market Member State and therefore, it risks being considered as having a ‘protectionist effect’ on domestic traditional products.
How Do ‘The Old’ and ‘The New’ Live Together? the Principal Purpose Test and Other Anti-avoidance Instruments in Tax Treaties
Authors: Moreno Andrés Báez
Published: February 2022

The entry into force of the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) will entail the massive incorporation of a general anti-avoidance rule (the principal purpose test) into a significant number of double taxation conventions. However, these conventions often contain other clauses of different origin that have traditionally been used to deal with the phenomenon of treaty abuse. This article describes the ‘problems of coexistence’ between the principal purpose test and these other clauses when their conditions of application and legal consequences may be different. Finally, it also offers legal solutions to these conflicts.

The college experience offers many opportunities for students to become engaged in service activities. Most studies about these activities have been conducted on populations of students who have either just completed their service activity or just graduated from college. Inconsistent findings on how the length of service activities during college influence choices later in life have left researchers unsure of the value in lengthening service opportunities. To determine if the length of service makes a difference on benefits associated with service, an online survey of 277 former college student volunteers ranging in age from 21 to 71 was completed. Findings showed a positive effect with the length of service on future service attitudes, dispositions, and behavior. The study found that as the length of the time period volunteers served for one organization in college increased, the more likely they were to give service later in life, value giving service to others in need, and believe they could make a difference in their community.

Authors: Khouloud Alaa , Mohamed Atounti , Charaf Eddine Bailoul
Published: February 2022

Cancer mainly affects women and is the most dangerous disease in the world. Curing cancer through early detection of cancer and scientific research is our main goal because early detection helps to eliminate cancer completely. After reviewing several articles, we found that there are several techniques available for cancer detection. In this paper, we applied eight data mining techniques: Deep Neural Networks, Artificial Neural Networks, Naive Bayesian Classifier, Classification Trees, Fuzzy C-Means, Logistic Regression, Discriminant Analysis and K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier to this problem and show their significant results on real data. Therefore, among all data mining methods used, good results can be obtained by applying Deep Learning Neural Networks to cancer detection.
Resistance mechanism, control, and characterization of glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) in Mississippi
Authors:   , Walker James C.
Published: February 2022

Glyphosate-resistant (GR) giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) has been confirmed in several states across the mid-western and mid-southern U.S. Greenhouse and lab studies were conducted to investigate possible mechanism of glyphosate resistance in a suspect population from Monroe County, Mississippi. Translocation of 14C-glyphosate in the susceptible biotype was 77%, compared to 12% in the resistant biotype at 120 hours after treatment, suggesting that the glyphosate resistance mechanism for this giant ragweed biotype is reduced translocation. Dose response studies were conducted to confirm and characterize glyphosate resistance in suspect biotypes from Mississippi (MS-R) and Tennessee (TN-R). The ED50 for MS-R and TN-R were 3.9- and 6.3-fold higher than a susceptible biotype. Results from a fallow field study conducted in 2016 in Monroe County revealed PRE and POST treatments containing dicamba and mesotrione alone and in various combinations provided effective control of GR giant ragweed. Studies were conducted to measure fitness, phenotypic, and genetic variation among GR biotypes from MS-R, TN-R, and Ohio (OH-R). Non-destructive measurements of plants over an eight-week period revealed rapid early growth of two GR accessions from MS in the absence of glyphosate. However, no differences in vegetative biomass were recorded after eight weeks with the exception of OH-R biotype which exhibited lower biomass due to photoperiod sensitivity. Vegetative biomass and fecundity were similar. Multivariate and PCA analysis of traits grouped biotypes based on state of origin. Groupings by state of origin can be significant as managers could design similar methods of control to address giant ragweed in these areas. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to record genetic diversity among and within biotypes. Genetic diversity values were high at 0.514, 0.502, and 0.525 within biotypes from MS, TN, and OH, respectively. However, genetic diversity did not differ due to glyphosate response or level of glyphosate resistance. High levels of genetic variation can be an indicator of the ability of giant ragweed biotypes to adapt to changing environments and conditions.
Impairment, executive function, and symptoms: Understanding ADHD in emerging adulthood
Authors:   , Dorr Morgan M.
Published: February 2022

While Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychological disorders diagnosed during development, adult ADHD remains vastly under recognized and undertreated. In an effort to better understand current issues with adult ADHD assessment, this study examined the relationship between symptoms, impairment, and executive functioning. Results indicate that among individuals who screened negative for ADHD, those higher in executive function reported experiencing significantly less impairment than those lower in executive function. Executive function was shown to have a negative relationship with impairment and ADHD symptomology was shown to have a positive relationship with impairment. Additionally, impairment was significantly predicted by ADHD symptoms and executive function, and there was a significant interaction between executive function and ADHD symptoms in predicting impairment. Understanding the relationship between executive function, ADHD symptoms, and impairment is critically important in better understanding adult ADHD.
Understanding molecular mechanisms of host-Edwardsiella ictaluri interaction
Authors:   , Al-Janabi Nawar Hadi
Published: February 2022

Catfish, the "king" of the U.S. aquaculture, is threatened by a severe, systemic bacterial disease known as enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC). This disease causes high mortality and massive economic losses in cultured channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) in the United States. E. ictaluri penetrates catfish intestinal epithelia quickly and establishes a systemic infection rapidly. However, our knowledge on catfish intestine and E. ictaluri interaction is very limited. In Particular, catfish intestinal immune responses and virulence genes needed by E. ictaluri to evade host defenses are not well understood. Hence, our long-term goal is to identify the molecular mechanisms of E. ictaluri-host interactions. The overall objectives of this study were to understand catfish immune responses to E. ictaluri infection and determine essential genes of E. ictaluri during the intestinal invasion. To accomplish the overall objectives of this research, intestinal ligated loops were constructed surgically in live catfish and loops were injected with wild-type E. ictaluri and two live attenuated E. ictaluri vaccine strains developed recently by our research group. We first determined catfish intestinal immune responses against E. ictaluri wild-type and live attenuated vaccine strains. Then, we analyzed the global gene expression patterns of wild-type E. ictaluri and vaccine strains during catfish intestinal invasion using high throughput RNA-Seq technology. Results showed a moderate level of neutrophil and B cell infiltration correlated with significantly lower expression of TNF-α, CD4-1, and CD8-α in the vaccine injected intestinal tissue compared to that of wild-type injected intestinal tissue. Further, RNA-Seq data analysis showed the prominent expression of genes related to bacterial secretion systems, ATP production processes, and multidrug resistance (MDR) efflux pumps in wild-type E. ictaluri. In contrast, the prominently expressed genes in vaccine strains were related to the phosphotransferase system and sugar metabolism processes. All these data suggest that our live attenuated vaccines are capable of triggering effective immune responses in catfish without causing damage to the host.
Examining the intra-organizational differences among municipal employees: an empirical investigation of public safety workers in the municipal workforce
Authors:   , Breen Joseph J.
Published: February 2022

Attracting, motivating, and retaining public service employees continues to challenge both state- and municipal-level managers. Beginning with Perry’s (1996) public service motivation (PSM) construct, academics and practitioners focused considerable efforts in the identification of measures and factors influencing levels of motivation with the overall intent of identifying the key components of increasing employee motivations, thereby increasing the possibility of retaining the capable employees. While this effort has focused on managerial distinctions, groupings between genders, racial backgrounds, and tenure lengths, one significant comparison has yet to be explored—the public safety worker. Identifying and examining the motivating factors of police and fire, whose considerably different work requirements and consequences of subpar performance can result in the loss of life will not only lead to future means of addressing retention and motivation, but will also create a new avenue of research in public service motivation in public administration. Stemming from the extensive methodological work by Sangmook Kim (2010), this effort will explore the PSM constructs by utilizing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify the significant factors of PSM for public safety workers, confirm these findings through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and identify the strengths of the various factors as they pertain to the latent constructs of PSM, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. PSM, as it pertains to job attraction, selection, commitment, and retention plays a pivotal role in maintaining a productive and successful public organization. In Mississippi, retention and motivation are paramount as neighboring states pay better wages, offer similar benefits, and are within a short travel distance for many state employees. By comparing public safety workers to other groups of municipal employees, this research extends the field of public administration into new territory while providing practical, real-world tools for practitioners and decision-makers to utilize in workforce development and retention efforts. This research will show that there are significant differences between the public safety workers in the municipal workforce and non-public safety workers, particularly in Mississippi. The research shows that differences in public safety workers from non-public safety workers in motivation stem from levels of political involvement, compassion, benevolence, and duty.

Beyond Mall Christianity: Megachurches Navigating Southeast Asian Urbanism
Authors: Chong Terence , Goh Daniel P. S.
Published: February 2022

The global spread of Pentecostalism has been facilitated by a combination of transnational impulses and indigenizing interests. In the case of independent Pentecostal megachurches, their growth in urban centres is reflected in both Western and Asian societies. Megachurches in America and Southeast Asia have flourished because of their unique blend of middle- class congregants, appeal to consumerist and popular culture, as well as their compatibility with the urban lifestyle patterns of their congregants. However, it would be a mistake to assume that the drivers of growth and the conditions behind the common features of these megachurches are the same. Examining Jakarta, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila, we show that megachurches are not located in shopping malls and commercial complexes merely for growth purposes or to align with the consumerism ethos of capitalism. Deeply local concerns, such as hostile neighbourhoods dominated by Muslim or Catholic majorities, have led to the camouflaging of Christian symbols in urban settings. The purposeful targeting of youth also reveals the Southeast Asian megachurch engaging with the new urban mobilities triggered by rapid economic development. We conclude that the Southeast Asian city's structure and layout are being repurposed by Christian innovation and reinterpretation. Christianity in the Southeast Asian city is hidden in plain sight.

Vallás és ráció : Weber varázstalanítás fogalmának recepciójához
Authors: Máté-Tóth András , Heidl Sára
Published: February 2022

The present study tries to examine Max Weber’s famous technical term „disenchantment” and the rationalization of religion along with the receptions of Christofer Adair-Toteff, Hans Joas and Jürgen Habermas. First Adair-Toteff summarizes the general meaning concerning the rationalization in the concept of Weber by reflecting critically on the most important authors. Secondly, Hans Joas followed historically the genealogy and the inherent dynamic of the term and idea of „Entzauberung” (disenchantment). He focuses on the central question of sociology of religion, whether it is possible to describe and analyze the role of religion in modern societies by employing the Weberian concepts of disenchantment and rationalization. Thirdly and lastly, Jürgen Habermas, similarly to Jonas, offers an alternative understanding of the linear process of secularization and rationalization. We hope that through the examination of the three different receptions have contributed to the contemporary discourse concerning Weber’s theory of religion in Hungary.
A megfeszített Krisztus kettős természete : Jézus golgotai hét szavának komplementaritás-realista vizsgálata
Authors: Szakács Tamás
Published: February 2022

This study focuses on the paradox of the union of two separate natures, divine and human in Jesus. Many reject this teaching on a rational basis. However, the Bohrian complementarity principle provides an example of the ‘yet-unity’ of opposites as a rational statement as well as an experience. Barbour introduced the methodological concept of critical realism to point out that science and theology share this methodology. In our research, we also keep in mind the linguistic-cultural approach of Lindbeck and the bottom-up thinking of Polkinghorne. By integrating these three with the principle of complementarity, we introduce complementarity realism, which we use as its first application to examine the words of Jesus on the cross. By evaluating Christological teachings throughout early church history using the aids of dogmatic summaries, we check their ability to interpret the seven words of Jesus within their own system. Thus, we obtain a kind of statistical measure of deviation from orthodoxy. This analysis also shows how difficult it is to formulate not only the seven words but ultimately the Christological statements of the New Testament as a whole and coherent teaching. The second half of the study, through a thorough exploration of the problem, points out that the principle of complementarity known from physics can help us to understand the rational aspect of Christ’s dual nature. Moreover, the similarity between the dual nature of Christ and the dual nature of matter can lead to important theological insights and shed light on other theological themes (such as the paradoxes of Lutheran theology) and on the relationship of theology and science.
Delivering multiple co-benefits in Blue-Green Cities
Authors: O'Donnell Emily
Published: February 2022

Global cities face a range of water challenges, driven by increasingly frequent and extreme storm events, drier summers, accelerating urbanisation and reductions in public green space. Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly being used to address challenges across the full water spectrum while tackling social, economic and environmental issues. In April 2021, the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) hosted an online knowledge exchange event to explore the multiple co-benefits of Blue-Green Cities, and how these can overcome the biophysical, socio-political and societal barriers to innovation in urban flood and water management. This briefing paper draws together discussion from that event, framed by geographical research in the Blue-Green Cities (www.bluegreencities.ac.uk) and Urban Flood Resilience (www.urbanfloodresilience.ac.uk) projects, to give recommendations to enable greater implementation of BGI in policy and practice.

Authors: GÜLER Bahar
Published: February 2022

Bireylerin fiziksel aktive seviyelerinin yeterli seviyede olması sağlığın korunmasında ve geri kazanılmasında büyük bir etkiye sahiptir. Düşük fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıklar olan obezite ve tip 2 diyabet için büyük risk faktörü oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda hem kadın ve hem de erkeklerde belirli düzeylerde fiziksel aktivite önerilmektedir. Yapılan çalışmalar ülkemizde ve dünya genelinde de kadınların ve erkeklerin farklı fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine sahip olduğu yönündedir. Çalışmaların çoğunluğunda kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin erkeklerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinden daha düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu noktada ‘Kadınların fiziksel aktivitelerinin düşük olmasına neden olan faktörler nelerdir?’ sorusu aklımıza gelmektedir. Çalışmada kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile ilgili çalışmalar taranarak kadınların fiziksel aktiviteleri önündeki engeller belirlenmeye ve sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre; artan yaşla birlikte kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri düşmektedir. Evli olan ev hanımlarının fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin daha düşük düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Yüksek gelirli ülkelerdeki kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri daha düşüktür. Kırsal kesimlerde yaşayan kadınlar kentsel kesimlerde yaşayan kadınlara göre; daha düşük BKİ ve daha yüksek fiziksel aktivite oranlarına sahiptir. Sonuç olarak, kadınların fiziksel aktivite oranlarını yükselten faktörler arasında; daha yürünebilir şehirlerde oturmak, güvenilir ortam, fiyatı uygun, evinin yakınlarında spor salonu, sosyal tesis ve parkların bulunması ve spor yapılan yerlerin kadınlara özgü olması karşılaması yer almaktadır.
DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN INTERLEUKIN-7 IMMUNOAFFINITY PURIFICATION METHOD
Authors: Gorshunov Yurii , Lutsenko Tetiana , Besarab Alexander , Nastenko Ievgen
Published: February 2022

The article presents the results of the comparative development of different variants of immunoaffinity sorbents for the purification of human IL-7, namely: Sepharose 6B and sol-gel materials based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The optimal conditions for the synthesis of a chromatographic sorbent based on TEOS, which provide acceptable characteristics of the immobilization of a biological substance, were experimentally established. The sorbent based on TEOS and Sepharose 6B provide identical characteristics for the sorption of antibodies after 12 hours of the experiment. To establish rational conditions for immunoaffinity chromatography, various combinations of sorbents, anti-IL-7 monoclonal antibodies, and elution solutions were studied. It was shown that a variant of immunoaffinity chromatography based on TEOS sorbent using 325D2 anti-IL-7 monoclonal antibodies and 4M magnesium chloride solution as eluate, is more effective. Immunochromatographic columns synthesized on the basis of Sepharose 6B and TEOS are characterized by high recovery rates (at least 95%) in a wide range of human IL-7 concentrations (0.05...20 μg/ml), however, the column based on Sepharose 6B is less than stable with repeated use (more than 12 cycles without regeneration). The developed method makes it possible to obtain recombinant human IL-7 with a purity of 98%.
NUTRIGENOMICS STUDIES TO EXPLORE ANTIAGING: Drosophila APPROACH
Authors: Sathyamurthy Vijaya Harini , Jayaraj Indhuja , Velraja Supriya , Parvathi Venkatachalam Deepa
Published: February 2022

The field of Nutrigenomics has always been of interest to scientists as it integrates the field of nutrition and the “-omics”. Drosophila melanogaster is the most suitable model for this study as appx. 60% of human diseases have homology in flies. Ageing is a complex mechanism that involves several pathways, and only a small fraction of these pathways has been studied in detail. There have been proofs that nutrition can extend or reduce life span. The epigenetic mechanisms involved have also been explained to an extent. Certain diseases that manifest due to ageing can potentially be delayed with the right nutrition and diet. Antioxidants and polyphenols help reduce the oxidative stress, and this study is important as oxidative stress is one of the main reasons of ageing. Many theories for ageing have been hypothesised and are under study. Nutrigenomics might be the break-through that changes the perception of “diets” and how beneficial the right diet can be on human health.

Aqueous extracts are preferentially used in traditional medicine in Algeria. Among these extracts, propolis is used for the treatment of wounds, boils, canker sores, burns. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiviral/antiquorum sensing (anti-QS) characteristics of Propolis aqueous extract collected from bee hive near Sétif (east of Algeria) against human pathogenic viruses and gram negative bacteria.  First the Maximal Allowable Concentration (MAC) of the lyophilized aqueous extract of propolis was determined to avoid the toxicity of the extract. A human lymphoid cell line that contains Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) genome as an episome (P3HR-1) and HEp-2 infected with Coxsackievirus (CVB4), were selected according to their ability to deliver endemic infectious viruses at high titers. Antibacterial activity was screened by evaluating anti-QS capacity of the extract.  Pre-treatment revealed that the MAC of the extract reduces the viral titer of Coxsackievirus by half a log from TCID50 = 105.07 to TCID50 = 104.6, and protected HEp-2 against CVB4 infection. While no antiviral effect on the EBV replication was obtained. The anti-QS capability of the extract was showed against Chromobacterium violaceum strain 026, and by protecting Artemia from Vibrio harveyi BB120 infection.The aqueous extract pre-treatment has not antiviral protection, for DNA viruses. It protected HEp-2 cells against CVB4 infection, degraded Acyl Homoserines lactones (AHL), and protected animal Artemia.

Published: February 2022

Poultry fat is interesting in terms of fatty acid composition, especially due to the higher content of unsaturated fatty acids compared to mammals. However, internal fats are considered as one of the wastes from poultry processing. In previous experiments, we observed the effect of grape, flax and pumpkin pomace on the meat performance and chemical composition of broiler chicken muscle. Therefore, the aim of this work was to examine the effect of these pomaces on the formation of internal fats in Ross 308 broiler chickens. The control group (C) was fed with a feed mixture (FM) without antibiotics and growth stimulators. In the experimental diets, wheat in FM was replaced by 1, 2 and 3% red grape pomace, variety Alibernet (groups E1, E2 and E3), 2 and 4% flax pomace (groups E4 and E5) and 2 and 4% pumpkin pomace (groups E6 and E7). The chickens were fed and watered ad libitum for 42 days. Amounts of internal fats are presented as % from carcass weight (CW). Of the internal fats in females, only heart fat was significantly affected (P≤0.05) (least in E5 and E7 – 0.20%). In males, on the other hand, we found significant differences (P≤0.001) in other fats: abdominal fat was highest in E2 and E3 (0.94 and 0.91%, respectively), gizzard fat was highest in E2 (0.59%) and internal fats together in E2 and E3 (1.67 and 1.48%, respectively). The results show that negatively higher internal fat content of the chicken carcass was caused mainly by the addition of 2 and 3% RGP in the diet of Ross 308 chickens.
MICROGREENS AS A FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT OF THE HUMAN DIET: A REVIEW

Published: February 2022

The alarming growth of chronic diseases is a major problem in Europe, and current data suggest an even greater burden in the future. Although genetic predispositions remain important determinants in the development of certain disorders, the appropriate diet can considerably minimize the risk of many diseases. Many plant species do, in fact, have health-promoting properties due to their high levels of physiologically active chemicals. Glucosinolates, vitamins, tocopherols, saponins, tannins, and other polyphenols have been shown to have beneficial impacts on human health, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney, and Alzheimer's disease prevention. A new plant category known as microgreens has evolved as a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and physiologically active chemicals against these backdrops. Microgreens could have 10 to 100 times more effective phytochemical concentrations than adult equivalents. Furthermore, they are environmentally cultured in regulated environments with no dirt, harmful residues, or excessive water use. However, existing limitations include uncertain methods of action, varying bioaccessibility, and a paucity of published clinical research. Indeed, microgreens could be a viable new food source for people who are interested in consuming healthy diets.

Published: February 2022

Aquatic carnivorous plants comprise the species Aldrovanda vesiculosa L. (Droseraceae) and about 50 species of the genus Utricularia L. (Lentibulariaceae). Aquatic Utricularia species usually grow in shallow, standing humic waters which are usually poor in N and P, but occasionally also in K. Although they take up all necessary nutrients either directly from the water by their rootless shoots or from animal prey by traps, under favorable conditions, they exhibit very rapid apical shoot growth of 3-4 leaf nodes d-1, while their shoot bases decay at this same high rate.
Wounding and chemical treatment effects on Drosera capensis bud formation on leaf cuttings
Authors: McNair Mason , Wilkins Amanda , Werner Dennis
Published: February 2022

Drosera capensis L. (Droseraceae) is one of the most commonly grown carnivorous plants prized for its ease of culture and rapid growth. In cultivation, seed is preferred for propagating this species; however, in the case of cultivar propagation, asexual propagation must be used. D. capensis readily propagates from both leaf and root cuttings. Leaf cuttings can be used to asexually propagate D. capensis. Wounding and exogenous hormone applications are commonly used in herbaceous and woody plant asexual propagation to enhance adventitious root and shoot formation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wounding and exogenous hormone application (auxin and cytokinin) on adventitious shoot formation on leaf cuttings of D. capensis.
Drosera bicolor Lowrie Carlquist
Authors: Gibson Robert
Published: February 2022

Drosera bicolor Lowrie Carlquist is endemic to southwestern Australia. It is an erect tuberous sundew with alternate leaves and a basal rosette, placed in Drosera subgenus Ergaleium section Ergaleium. Prior to its formal description this species was informally known as ‘D. peltata ‘Hammersley’’. Since its description, debate has continued as to whether it is a distinct taxon or is better treated in the broader concept of Drosera peltata Thunb. This paper presents a more detailed description of this taxon and discusses its taxonomic status.
Observations of the natural history and ecology of Nepenthes campanulata
Authors: Clarke Charles , Lee Ch'ien C. , Enar Veno
Published: February 2022

Nepenthes campanulata is a little known species from limestone cliff habitats in Borneo. In this study, we conducted the first field-based survey of pitcher dimensions and the prey and invertebrate fauna in N. campanulata pitchers, sampled from plants growing on the cliff face above Deer Cave in Gunung Mulu National Park. We found that the dominant prey taxon is Diptera, followed by Formicidae. The metazoan community that inhabits the pitchers consists of just three species, making it one of the simplest in the genus. The pitchers of N. campanulata have a unique structure among Nepenthes, which may be related to the highly specialized habitat that the plant occurs in. Prior to this study, N. campanulata had been recorded at just two localities: Mt. Ilas Bungaan in East Kalimantan, and Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak. However, on a recent expedition to Palawan, we observed plants that we identified as N. campanulata, which represents a remarkable extension to the geographical range of this species.
Nepenthes nebularum, a new species from Mindanao, Philippines
Authors: Mansell Geoff , Suarez Wally
Published: February 2022

The discovery of Nepenthes nebularum sp. nov. is here reported and thereby described as a new addition to the Philippine Nepenthes flora. This new species is closely related to both N. truncata and N. robcantleyi, differing mainly in the smaller stature of the plants, the more pronounced peristome teeth, and the bronzy, rather dense, and woolly indumentum found on the petiole wings, tendrils and traps. Further distinguishing traits are discussed in the description proper. With the description of this new species, the number of Nepenthes species in the archipelago now stands at over 53.
The correct name for Drosera longiscapa and the mystery of D. madagascariensis from South Africa
Authors: Fleischmann Andreas
Published: February 2022

Drosera longiscapa and D. madagascariensis var. major are undoubtedly conspecific with Planchon’s D. curvipes, and hence constitute younger, heterotypic synonyms. Drosera madagascariensis s. str. does not occur in the largest part of South Africa, nearly all records previously assigned to that species from former Transvaal and Natal regions belong to D. curvipes (or D. nidiformis and D. collinsiae, respectively).
The impact of soil type on Pygmy Drosera distribution
Authors: Nunn Richard , Lambers Hans
Published: February 2022

There are currently 52 species of Pygmy Drosera known to science (Lowrie 2014), many of which have only been described in the past few decades. Most of these are endemic to south-west Western Australia with one species, Drosera pygmaea, also found in South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand.
Finding Drosera condor on the Peru/Ecuador Border
Authors: Rivadavia Fernando
Published: February 2022

In late August 2017, I visited the cities of Cuenca and Loja, in southern Ecuador, for work. I’d planned to spend the Labor Day extended weekend exploring that part of the country for carnivorous plants. My holy grail was the Cordillera del Condor on the Ecuador/Peru border, a series of tepui-like sandstone escarpments extending 150 km along a north-south axis, rising up to 2900 m in altitude. Geologically and floristically, the Cordillera del Condor is very different from the Andes.
Drosera filiformis, D. tracyi, and their hybrids: a photo essay
Authors: Brittnacher John
Published: February 2022

The taxonomic relationship of Drosera filiformis Raf. and Drosera tracyi Macf. has been mired in controversy for over a century. Part of the reason for the controversy is the plants are similar to each other and quite different from the other North and South American Drosera section Drosera species. Another part of the reason is classical taxonomists make decisions based on dead, dried plants. The taxonomically valid differences between D. filiformis and D. tracyi are subtle. The purpose of this photo essay is to document the similarities, differences, and possibly unexpected behaviors of live plants to inform us on how to consider D. filiformis, D. tracyi, and their hybrids.

Apresentamos o ebook SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA: PROPOSTA E REFLEXÃO PARA O ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL, apresenta reflexões acerca do planejamento e aplicação de sequências didáticas propostas para o ensino de matemática, educação física, língua portuguesa e projeto de ensino. A proposta foi construída na perspectiva de que nosso aluno é um sujeito histórico cultural devendo a todo o momento ser estimulado a ser um sujeito ativo que cria recria suas produções. Nesta perspectiva, nosso trabalho foi elaborado com base num conjunto de atividades interdisciplinares que possibilitaram aos alunos experenciar uma metodologia de aprendizagem mais dinâmica e lúdica, mas planejar uma sequência didática multidisciplinar demanda tempo e planejamento. Ressaltamos ser um desafio! Assim, trazemos neste EBOOK algumas propostas e reflexões acerca das sequencias didáticas elaboradas pelo corpo docente da Escola Municipal de Educação Básica “Herculano Borges” como mediação pedagógica, nessa compreensão, além de necessário, prescinde uma postura aberta e dialógica sobre o conhecimento produzido em diferentes contextos sociais. Tendo uma abordagem interdisciplinar no tratamento da diversidade de temáticas relacionadas às diversas áreas do saber constitui, portanto, algo de extrema relevância e tal concepção propicia a concordância de que o tempo escolar não deve ser dividido por áreas de conhecimento.

Apresentamos o e-book PROPOSTA DE SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA PARA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL, que propõe novos desafios que devem se pautar em diferentes metodologias, sempre privilegiando o brincar. Dessa forma, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de sequências didáticas e projetos que atendam às particularidades essenciais dessa faixa etária, com propostas lúdicas que permitam experimentações, descobertas e principalmente atividades práticas e divertidas. É necessário buscar maneiras de valorizar o trabalho pedagógico na Educação Infantil, disseminando ideias que incentivem a curiosidade e a experimentação das crianças a partir de possibilidades no uso de materiais diversos. Sendo assim, o Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil Governador José Garcia Neto, por meio deste e-book, traz uma proposta que vem ao encontro pedagógico do docente para a construção de uma educação para todos e sempre em busca de melhoria na qualidade do ensino, estimulando a interação com seus pares, apresentando regras de convívio social e desafios, a partir dos quais a criança irá construir sua moralidade, afetividade, autonomia, conhecimento e socialização, em que a ludicidade faz parte do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, acreditando em seu potencial transformador e cultivando dentro de si uma forte vontade de viver em um mundo melhor.
