Analysis of historical cartography and data presentation for an educational purpose: The case of the historical centre of Vimercate
Authors: Jovanović Dina , Oreni Daniela , Della Torre Stefano , Moioli Rossella
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Founded by Romans, Vimercate had an important geographical position in Lombardy. Layers of history are visible throughout the town, yet there is the inconsistency of historical data and neglect of the historical centre in the past decades. Only recently researchers and professors from Politecnico di Milano pointed out the importance of studying layers of history in the built environment. In the past years, Vimercate was used as an example for students from masters and bachelor courses in preservation studios. This is where the idea for the master’s thesis was developed which focuses on the collection, digitalisation and investigation of primary historical cartography and then other historical documents. Historical cartography can offer extensive knowledge about the past of this town and it is one of the main sources of information. For the creation of the project was selected free and open-source software QGIS where the selected historical maps were vectorised, compared and investigated. A new understanding of the development of the city was studied and some discoveries appeared. Effective application of the thesis project started in the courses of Architectural preservation studio at Politecnico di Milano. This was followed by the interest of citizens in the project who were actively participated in the creation of the same. Other stakeholders showed interest in involving in future developments. The thesis found its application in didactic activities of students and pupils.
A Spatial Analysis of Robbery Rate in the City of Detroit using Exploratory Data Analysis Approach
Authors: Amoako Esther Akoto
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Many U.S. cities have experienced rising crime rates in recent years. Crime has inherent geographic quality and tend to concentrate in certain places within the city. To prioritize public safety and crime prevention strategies, it is important to identify where crime is occurring and with what severity. Using spatial statistics including the average nearest neighbour index, Moran’s I, Getis-Ord Gi* statistic, and Anselin Cluster and Outlier Analysis, this study investigates robbery locations within the city of Detroit over 5-year period, 2016 to 2020 to identify hot spots, cold spots and spatial patterns across two different spatial scale – block group and census tracts. The study seeks to understand the effect of data aggregation on each spatial scale on the outcome of the analysis to determine the most optimum spatial scale to study robbery rates. The study concludes that, spatial analysis at small scale like block group level is most informative. Policy implications and areas for further research are provided.
Georeferenced Cartography and Landscape: the Protection of the Monumental Olive Heritage
Authors: Amodio Teresa
Published: December 2021

Abstract. This research studies the protection of the rural landscape and agri-food heritage, offering a perspective on the role and contribution of research to support land management processes and the development of local resources.This opportunity for reflection was created by a project developed at the request of Regione Campania, in Southern Italy, aimed at preserving the inestimable source of biodiversity represented by olive varieties from the risk of genetic erosion, and at guaranteeing the production of oils with typical and diversified organoleptic qualities and properties.Within the scope of the project, the geo-cartographic section has analyzed, surveyed, georeferenced and represented, for a selected territory, the presence of centuries-old olive trees and allowed the creation of other research sections, more specifically agronomic and legal.The georeferencing map of the millenary olive trees typical of the territory, together with the genetic identity card of each plant, have been inserted in a publicly accessible database, through which it is possible to trace the origins and, consequently, the quality of the oil produced.
Digital transformation in topographic databases

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The increasingly widespread implementation of databases with geographical component, as well as the impregnation of geolocation culture, is driving a transformation in the storage, management and exploitation of geospatial information. Real-world elements go from being modeled as mere geometric representations, with just cartographic purposes, to be features with their own entity. Unique identifiers and lifecycle management are assigned to these features, allowing interactions between feature instances from different databases, that is, facilitating digital transformation and, therefore, increasing exponentially the exploitation possibilities.In this regard, the National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN, by its Spanish acronym) have implemented several processes in its National Topographic Database, such as the connection with the cadastral information, in order to take advantage of its updates and give feedback to improve cadastral data; or the link with the information, in addresses form, provided from different public administration, that is processed to geolocate features in the topographic database. Likewise, work is being done in order to implement new processes that allow linking with other data sets.These processes, in addition to reusing information produced by different public administrations, constitute an advance towards the objective of geospatial information databases continuous updating.
The Perczel Project (2007–2019)
Authors: Márton Mátyás , Gercsák Gábor , Zentai László
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Hungarian presenters gave several papers on this project at cartographic conferences and published articles on the state of the work in the past decade. The project undertaken by the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) serves the saving of cultural heritage, namely a globe, a significant work of art. The project is named after its maker, Perczel. The work, which lasted for more than ten years with interruptions, was crowned by the birth of three imposing artistic copies of the globe. This part of the project completed in half a year was organized by the Archiflex Studio and led by Zsuzsanna Lente, restorer artist. The first copy decorates the office of the Hungarian prime minister in the former Carmelite cloister in the Buda Castle. The second copy is placed in the National Széchényi Library, where the original globe is kept. The third copy went to the University Library of ELTE. The physical embodiment of the globe makes it a real public property: Perczel’s globe is a work of art that represents great scientific and cultural values.The present paper reviews shortly the manuscript globe made by Perczel in 1862, and presents the stages of the digital re-creation and restoration of the globe map carried out at the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics at ELTE, which led to its physical reconstruction, the birth of its artistic copies. Finally, some cartographic “juicy bits” follow: the representation of non-existent “ghost” islands on the globe and some interesting graphical solutions that are unusual today.
Geodiversity mapping of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark, Hungary
Authors: Pál Márton , Albert Gáspár
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Geodiversity is the natural range of elements in the physical environment. The relationships, properties, and systems of geoscientific features have an impact not only on the natural world but also on cultural and societal aspects of life. Geodiversity can be considered as a quantitative variable that is unevenly distributed all over the world. This spatial variability helps to locate areas with a high degree of geodiversity. These areas can be the basis of further nature protection and geotourism purposes: high geodiversity usually means higher scientific/cultural/ecological values in an area. We present a GIS-based workflow in which we collect, evaluate, and visualize geoscientific variables to provide information on the geodiversity of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark in Hungary. By using mainly freely accessible data and an open-source GIS environment, we aim to develop a method that can be applied in many areas of the world. The evaluation is built up by the determination of five sub-indices per unit area, which are related to the elements of geodiversity: geology, relief, hydrology, soil, palaeontology, and mineralogy. The geodiversity index is the sum of the sub-indices. The current tourism potential is mainly found in the high geodiversity regions: the Balaton Uplands, the Tapolca Basin, the Káli Basin, and the Bakony Mountains. The results show that the current geopark infrastructure is in accordance with the geodiversity, but it took several years to reach this state. However, new geoparks are established every year and their infrastructure is yet to be planned. The method we apply helps in this process by using open-source data in the assessment and provides a workflow in areas that have not been evaluated before.
Where to hike? Mobile application for guiding tourists in the Bükkalja Region, Hungary
Authors: Pál Márton , Túri Zoltán , Lavaj Marcell
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Hiking is one of the most popular outdoor sports activities in Hungary. Despite not having many mountainous areas, a wide network of hiking trails crosses the country’s landscapes. As online tourist maps and thematic mobile applications become more and more popular among hikers, the role of paper-based, analogue tourist maps decreases. However, no thematic application has been issued that contains detailed surveyed (or crowdsourced) data on attractions or the natural circumstances (coverage, difficulty) for a certain area in Hungary yet. Nature tourism in the Bükkalja Region, Hungary is mostly based on geological-geomorphological features that are completed with cultural facilities. The length of the hiking trail system is more than 370 km in the examined 354 km2 large sample area. We have developed an OS mobile application that offers guidance for tourists based on four basic pillars: the physical condition of the trails, the attractions along a trail, dangerous trail segments and hiking trail marking quality. These pillars are visualized with an OpenLayers-based online map. The result is a multi-purpose smartphone application. Its main aim is to offer a planning platform for tourists by examining the difficulty of the trails and designating the attractions to visit. There is information on the most important attractions of the area: cultural and geoscientific sites are also presented. We also encourage users to report changes to the map data content via the crowdsourcing menu. These comments and remarks are continuously checked for validity and the database is modified with the use of them.
Cartography and pilgrimage trails. Tradition, modernity, and tourism
Authors: Podda Cinzia , Secchi Paolo , Bertacchini Milena
Published: December 2021

Abstract. This article focuses on the theme of the pilgrimage trails and their cartographic representation in two specific historical periods: the Middle Ages, during which the drawing of the world was a reminder of the places of Christian faith, and the mapped locations were those characterised by some sacred event narrated in the Bible or by the dominant theology of the time, joined together in routes that led to prominent sacred temples, as a sort of ascetic and geographical path along the ways of faith of biblical and evangelical tradition, which were evoked on the map; the contemporary world, in which pilgrimage trails have (additionally) become an opportunity to explore the territories crossed, and to activate local development processes thanks to the presence of pilgrim-tourists. In both cases, the pilgrimage has played a major role in these different types of representations, contributing to the discovery and knowledge of the world in the former and enhancing the territory’s potential through tourism in the latter.

Rhetorical Analysis of Introduction Sections from Humanities and Sciences Research Theses Authored by Pakistani Scholars
Authors: Yasmin Tayyabba , Mahmood Muhammad Asim , Butt Intzar Hussain
Published: December 2021

This research aims to investigate the rhetorical structures of the introduction sections of Pakistani research theses at postgraduate level. The corpus of study contains 32 “Introduction” sections of Pakistani research theses from two faculties: Humanities and Sciences. The faculty of Sciences include theses from disciplines of Zoology, Chemistry, Botany and Biochemistry, whereas the faculty of Humanities include theses of Mass Communication, English, Gender Studies and Computer Studies. Both qualitative and quantitative methods including textual analysis and frequency percentages have been used for data analysis. The online software Compleat Lexical Tutor(Cobb.2015) was employed to extract the sentence units of the data. A hand tagged move analysis was conducted by following Swales’ Model (2004) as a reference framework. All the instances of moves and steps were calculated to explore the rhetorical variation across two faculties. Findings of the study disclosed that Pakistani authors follow their own pattern of Move 1 (Establishing the research territory) along with the variation in frequency of its constituent steps across two faculties. The demarcation between two faculties has revealed that, in the field of sciences, there is a stronger use of topic generalization than in humanities. Moreover, the inter-textual links to prior research in the field of sciences are provided more frequently than in the field of humanities. However, scholars from the faculty of Humanities represent their stance by claiming relevance of the field.
THE CONCEPT OF THE “COMMUNITY OF COMMON DESTINY FOR MANKIND” AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINA’S FOREIGN POLICY
Authors:   al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Beisenbayev Olzhas , Kondapalli Srikanth ,   G. Hepy University, India. Email: srikanth@mail.jnu.ac.in
Published: December 2021

The "community of common destiny for mankind" is a new concept in Chinese diplomacy, which has been increasingly used in the reports of the Chairman of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping in the past five years. Given the small number of domestic academic studies dedicated to this concept, the relevance of considering its meaning, motives and implications is increased. Although the fundamental goal and task of the «community of common destiny for mankind» is not clear, and in the system of China's international relations it is considered as an important part of the long-term plan for reforming the global governance system, establishing China as a responsible power and using the period of "strategic opportunities" in the second and third decades of the XXI century. During the escalation of international conflicts, and ongoing financial and economic crisis, the proposed concept has attracted the interest of an international audience, but there are contradictions in its perception among developing countries, also the world’s leading actors. After examining the materials of researchers in the field of China studies and international relations, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the connection of the «community of common destiny for mankind» with other concepts under the foreign policy paradigm of China, also in the context of the transformation of China’s foreign affairs.

Do Islamic Banking Financial Instruments Achieve Equitable Income and Wealth Distribution?
Authors: Othman Anwar Hasan Abdullah , Soualhi Younes , Kassim Salina
Published: December 2021

The study investigates empirically whether the current practices of Sharīʿah-based financing contracts namely, Murabahah, Musharakah, Mudarabah, Istisna, Bai Bithaman Ajil, Ijarah and other contracts in the Malaysian Islamic banking industry achieved equitable income and wealth distribution. To do so, the study applied the bounds test and ARDL model to investigate the relationship between Sharīʿah-based financing contracts and Malaysian GINI coefficient index over the period from 1Q 2014 to 1Q 2019. In analyzing the long- and short-run implications, it was found that the practice of such Sharīʿah-based financing contracts in the Islamic banking industry achieved equitable income and wealth distribution in Malaysia using Murabahah, Mudarabah, Istisna, Bai Bithaman Ajil, and other (i.e., forward Ijarah) financing contracts. On the other hand, the findings indicated that Musharakah and Ijarah-based financing contract practices did not achieve equitable income and wealth distribution in Malaysia. This may be because the current practices of both contracts which seem to be handled as debts instruments and designed to the benefit of the banking sector only. To improve the Islamic banks’ financing practices in Malaysia, the outcomes of the study suggest that bank operators should strengthen the weight of Sharīʿah-based profit and loss sharing financing contracts with small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) instead of corporations. In other words, Islamic banks are able to achieve fair income and wealth distribution and uphold the concept of justice for all by gradually increasing Musharakah-based financing for SMEs that can potentially grow and create economic value. Further, to solve the problem of Ijarah contract practices, Islamic banks must take steps to enhance the requirements of Ijarah contracts, specifically ownership transformation, maintenance responsibility, default penalty, and the issue of legal treatment as well as bear the costs, risks and rewards related to the leasing asset instead of borne by the clint. The empirical findings of the study will provide valuable input for banks policymakers, particularly central banks, and Islamic bank management to evaluate the current practice of Islamic finance and proactively correct shortcomings to achieve equitable wealth distribution. This study is a pioneering investigation that empirically evaluates whether the current practices of Islamic banking financial instruments achieve the aims of the equitable financial system, and ensure that Islamic banks, as intermediaries, address the issue of inequality and attain equitable wealth distribution worldwide.

Investigating the Relationship between Composite, Islamic, and Conventional Indexes in Indonesia
Authors: Muharam Ikram Nur , Abduh Muhamad
Published: December 2021

Apart from the question of whether all indexes in financial markets are driven by similar factors, this study examines the long and short-run relationships between the composite index (JKSE), Islamic index (JII), and pure non-Islamic index (NST7) in the Indonesia financial market. The results show that there is at least one cointegrated equation among the JKSE, JII, and NST7. Furthermore, the output from VECM shows that only the JII has a significant long-run relationship with the JKSE. In the case of short-run relationships, the JII and NST7 do not significantly affect the JKSE, while the JII was significantly influenced by the JKSE. Otherwise, the Impulse Response Function shows that a shock on the JII will negatively affect both the JKSE and the NST7, while a shock on the NST7 is not very influential on the JKSE or the JII.

Handling Cellwise Outliers by Sparse Regression and Robust Covariance
Authors: Raymaekers Jakob , Rousseeuw Peter
Published: December 2021

We propose a data-analytic method for detecting cellwise outliers. Given a robust covariance matrix, outlying cells (entries) in a row are found by the cellFlagger technique which combines lasso regression with a stepwise application of constructed cutoff values. The penalty term of the lasso has a physical interpretation as the total distance that suspicious cells need to move in order to bring their row into the fold. For estimating a cellwise robust covariance matrix we construct a detection-imputation method which alternates between flagging outlying cells and updating the covariance matrix as in the EM algorithm. The proposed methods are illustrated by simulations and on real data about volatile organic compounds in children.
Nuevas alternativas de producción con grillos G. sigillatus. Empoderamiento, emprendimiento y reconocimiento a mujeres rurales del municipio de La Mesa, Cundinamarca - Colombia

Published: December 2021

Es sabido que el consumo de insectos es una práctica tradicional en muchos países. Se calcula que más de 2000 millones de personas en 113 países consumen insectos. La entomofagia, que es como se conoce esta práctica, genera gran interés por sus posibilidades para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria a nivel mundial, debido a que muchos estudios certifican que diversas especies de insectos tienen no solamente elevadas propiedades nutricionales, sino que posiblemente contengan compuestos bioactivos útiles para la salud humana. Desde los comienzos del siglo XIX, la visibilidad de los movimientos que propenden por el bienestar animal y promueven la reflexión ética sobre el consumo de alimentos ha traído consigo también un interés aumentado por el consumo de insectos de forma más masiva. A pesar de las barreras culturales y sensoriales, esta curiosidad ha hecho posible la puesta en marcha de criaderos pequeños de insectos comestibles. Estos tendrían la ventaja de contribuir a mitigar la escasez de alimentos en muchas partes del mundo – agravada por el cambio climático – y serían accesibles a personas de bajos recursos que no pertenecen al sector de las grandes industrias, pues producirlos no requiere grandes lotes y costosos insumos en comparación con otro tipo de cultivos.
INFLUENCE OF LITHOLOGIC FACTOR ON GAS SATURATION OF COAL-BEARING STRATA SANDSTONES
Authors: Bezruchko K.
Published: December 2021

In order to study the influence of sedimentation conditions on filtering-capacity properties researches of relative gas saturation of Donbas sandstones of different lithogenetic types are conducted, they contain coals of grade composition from long-flame to the lean. River-bed sandstones (relative gas saturation 85–90%) are the most gas-saturated from a number of investigated materials, and consequently potentially gas-bearing containing coals of the metamorphism low stages (up to and including fat coal step). However, sandstones of the under water rivers carry-over (relative gas saturation 65–72%) are the most perspective for the search of methane accumulations, both from reservoir properties point of view as well as taking into account their volumes in the coal-bearing strata.

Published: December 2021

On the basis of data of the geological-prospecting work and subject investigations it was possible to study geological factors of the hydrocarbon gases accumulation in coalbeds of deep levels of the lviv-Volyn coal basin. The peculiarities of the occurrence of the majority of commercial coalbeds and enclosing rocks in the methane-nitrous gas zone (a zone of gas weathering) were characterized as well as the reasons of the rize of this natural phenomenon were explained. A predictive appraisal was given for the resources of hydrocarbon gases in coalbeds occurred in the methane gas zone of the field.

Authors: Shobaki Abdalrahim
Published: December 2021

This study analyses the concept of democracy according to Rashed Al-Ghanoshi that it aims exploring the contributions of this intellectual theses about democracy in the contemporary Islamic intellectual interaction with reality. Furthermore, it adopted text analysis method that Al-Ghanoshi’s intellectual texts are subject to this study. The researcher concluded thatAl-Ghanoshi based his writings on hte technical dimension of the concept of democracy eliminating the philosophical dimension to assure the neutrality of his methods. Also, he confirms that Islam and its objectives do not prevent these methods and arrangements. On the contrary, Islam aims to get humanity to these good arrangements for ruling in order to fulfill the principle of Shora (consultation). Besides, Al-Ghanoshi based his intellectual project on a number of ideas about the principles and practices of democracy where are intellectually controversial in the contemporary Islamic thought such as multiparty system, elections, the concept of the majority, legislation and separation of powers. This is done to reach the conclusion that Islam does not contradict with these practices and principles as the Islamic thought rejecting this concept and its methods is the only hindrance for any democratic change in the Arab Islamic societies.
Additional Resources for Sparse Theories of Phenomenal Consciousness
Authors: Masciari Christopher F.
Published: December 2021

The phenomenal overflow debate is a debate about the richness of phenomenal consciousness. There are two candidate views: the rich view and the sparse view. The rich view says phenomenal consciousness outstrips access consciousness and the contents of working memory. The sparse view
denies this. Moreover, according to some conceptions of the sparse view, the subjective impression of richness depends on scene statistics and the refrigerator-light illusion. The purpose of this paper is to show there are additional resources available to the sparse view in accommodating
intuitions of richness that have yet to be fully appreciated by participants in the debate. To this end, research pertaining to feature binding and activity-silent working memory will be discussed.

Authors: Sousa Robson Simplicio de
Published: December 2021

Neste texto, apresentamos um exemplo de participação no processo formativo “Cirandar” promovido pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG). Em 2020, o Cirandar foi ampliado a outras instituições que teriam polos de organização das atividades formativas. Aqui, apresentamos com foi encaminhado o processo na cidade de Palotina no Oeste do Paraná. O processo de vínculo com a escrita fomentado pelo Cirandar encaminhou para o detalhamento da elaboração e realização do que chamamos de Atelier Científico, projeto criado para promover experiências estéticas na educação em ciências e matemática na Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Setor Palotina. O texto está dividido em Cartas. A Carta III que inicia o processo é aquela que introduz as demais cartas – I e II. A Carta I é a que nos apresentamos e mostramos como chegamos à docência. A Carta II é o momento de escolha daquilo que vamos estudar dentro do Cirandar. Finalmente, a Carta III é retomada com o estudo daquilo que nos propusemos na Carta II. Assim, a Carta III esmiúça a proposição do Atelier Científico, conta suas origens teóricas e práticas, além de mostrar aquilo que nele alcançamos produzir no ano de 2020. Finaliza com algumas reflexões sobre o que se alcançou promover naqueles que participaram do Atelier Científico que é, principalmente, a ideia de finitude e (auto)compreensão na lida com o mundo da vida.
De Orgulho e Preconceito a The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Uma adaptação transmidiática
Authors: Batista Elizabete Dos Santos Leiros , Becker Marcia Regina
Published: December 2021

A websérie The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (2012-2013) foi uma adaptação contemporânea do clássico Orgulho e Preconceito (1813), da autora inglesa Jane Austen. A websérie fez uso de diferentes plataformas e mídias para criar sua narrativa, transformando-a, assim, em uma narrativa transmidiática. Este artigo analisa a transposição do foco narrativo de Orgulho e Preconceito, escrito em terceira pessoa usando o recurso de discurso indireto livre, para a narrativa transmídia presente na websérie The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Na websérie é uma narradora-protagonista que conta grande parte da história e espera-se observar o papel que a narrativa transmídia desempenhou ao complementar o ponto de vista da protagonista. O referencial teórico deste estudo conta com a teoria de adaptação, a narrativa transmídia, e, por fim, estudos quanto ao foco narrativo. A partir da análise feita foi possível notar que, apesar de apresentar distintas mídias e focos narrativos, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries conseguiu brilhantemente explorar e recriar a história que a inspirou graças à narrativa transmídia empregada.

A definição da cultivar e da época de semeadura apropriadas para cada localidade de cultivo são de suma importância para se alcançar altas produtividades de soja. O presente estudo, teve como objetivo analisar a performance produtiva de variadas cultivares de soja nos municípios do Noroeste e Alta Paulista, na safra 2020/21. Nos quatros locais os experimentos foram instalados no delineamento em blocos casualizados, e 3 repetições. As médias foram agrupadas através do teste de Scott-Knott a 5% de probabilidade. Avaliou-se a produtividade de grãos. Onde as variações de produtividade, entre diferentes cultivares ou até mesmo na mesma cultivar, podem estar ligadas aos níveis de precipitação. Conclui-se que existem cultivares comerciais que revelam maior adaptabilidade às condições das regiões, proporcionando produtividades satisfatórias, algumas até mais elevadas que as médias nacional e do estado de São Paulo.

A enxertia de cultivares de Coffea arabica L sobre Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehn é uma alternativa para viabilizar o cultivo de cafeiros em áreas infestadas com nematoides. Entretanto, essa técnica também promove melhor desenvolvimento do sistema radicular das plantas, refletindo no crescimento da parte aérea e na eficiência na absorção de nutrientes do solo. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da enxertia de Coffea arabica L em Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehn, cv. Apoatã IAC 2258, sobre a renda e o tamanho dos grãos de diferentes cultivares, nas três primeiras safras. O experimento foi implantado em 2014, na Fazenda Recreio, Vera Cruz, SP. Foram avaliados as cultivares Obatã 1669-20, IAC 125 RN e IPR 100, enxertadas em Apoatã IAC 2258 e seus respectivos pés francos, utilizando-se delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, em um esquema fatorial (2 x 3), sendo dois tipos de plantas (enxertada e pé franco) e três diferentes cultivares de café. Os resultados mostraram que a enxertia pode influenciar positiva ou negativamente a qualidade física dos grãos de café, dependendo da cultivar usada como enxerto. A cultivar IPR 100 apresentou o melhor desempenho com relação à renda do café quando em pé franco e grãos maiores nas três safras avaliadas, tanto enxertada como em pé franco. A cultivar IAC 125 RN apresentou os piores resultados para a renda, independente do processo de enxertia. A cultivar Obatã 1669-20 apresentou o pior resultado em termos de tamanho de grãos quando enxertada em Apoatã IAC 2258.
