Published: January 2023

新冠肺炎大流行對全球造成重大影響，女性所受衝擊比男性更深。本研究蒐集臺灣三家報紙新聞媒體2020 年1 月至2021 年7 月間的疫情相關報導，採用批判論述分析方法，檢視新聞如何呈現女性及其所負擔的照顧責任，並與三家獨立網路媒體之報導對照。研究發現，疫情期間有關女性處境之報導數量微乎其微，報紙多將相關新聞刊登在次要版面，以照顧者、消費者、受害者等角度再現女性，忽略結構性問題，並暗示女性應解決自己的問題。

 

Recent studies have suggested that the impact of Covid-19 pandemic is gender-specific. Women are more susceptible than men to experience the effects of Covid-19. Since the global outbreak of Covid-19, the rates of unemployment mong women have increased. They have been required to spend more time attending to children and household chores and have experienced more domestic violence because of stay-home restrictions. This study employed critical discourse analysis to investigate reports on three Taiwanese newspapers published between January 2020 and July 2021. The analysis revealed that women were not represented sufficiently and that the issues of gender inequality were arginalized. The analysis also revealed that patriarchal ideology still dominates society; therefore, women’s contribution to care work is taken for granted. This study urges Taiwanese newspapers to account for women’s needs and promote gender equality.

Published: January 2023

Tomatoes are an important part of a healthy human diet. The productivity and quality of the produce are being measured by using advanced production technologies. Protected cultivation is an advanced agrotechnology that is utilized all over the world to generate high quality output. Indeterminate tomato is a growing crop though, still, in Punjab, no systemic work has been done for the evaluation of quality attributes of indeterminate tomato genotypes under the protected environment. Inherent diversity is a chief concern for the improvement of quality attributes in tomato. Considering the importance of tomatoes, there is an urgent need to screen out genotypes of indeterminate tomato for a best quality production and for higher nutritive value. The investigation was carried out at the Department of Vegetable Science of Agriculture, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab, India and the experiment were conducted under modified naturally ventilated polyhouse following Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications, consisting twelve genotypes including standard check during spring-summer season, 2020-2021. The data exhibited significant variation in twelve genotypes for different characters. Based on mean performance, the result let out that Punjab Gaurav and JC-165 was superior for all the quality attributes. Whereas, pericarp thickness and fruit shape index were maximum in KCA-2 while Punjab Sartaj was sophisticated for TSS, lycopene and ascorbic acid although greater titrable acidity was recorded in Arka Vikas. Significantly, the result was higher due to the favorable conditions provided in a protected environment during the growing period with the interaction of genes of genotype.

Published: January 2023

The genetic diversity of thirty chiili elite lines was estimated using Mahalanobis D2 and 12 yield attributing traits. ANOVA found that there was a significant degree of variation among elite lines. Because hybrids between lines of various clusters serve a vital role in choosing possible parents and assessing the degree of divergence in the chilli elite lines, genetic diversity knowledge is crucial in plant breeding. Fruit yield/plant (45.52) contributed the most (45.52 percent) to overall genetic difference, followed by fruit width (16.09). It also displayed lines that were divided into six groups. Clusters IV and V had the greatest intercluster distance, admitted lines from a diverse gene pool, and as per cluster mean analysis, these clusters contained high values for most of the yield attributing traits such as plant height, plant spread, fruit width, days of flower initiation, days of 50% flowering, and canopy temperature. The lines in these clusters act as superior segregants for yield traits and are 2020/CHIVAR-2, 2020/CHIVAR-3, K2, 2020/CHIVAR-5, 2020/ CHIVAR-7, 2020/CHIVAR-8, 2020/CHIVAR-9, 2018 CHIHYB 03, KASHI GAURAV, KASHI ANMOL.

Published: January 2023

Minimal Processing is the technique to process a fruit or vegetable commodity to a minimum level for maximum shelf life while maintaining its freshness nearly intact. The rapid perishability of fresh cassava tuber imposes a limitation in its marketing and consumption. In view of this, fresh cassava tubers of variety,’ Sree Vijaya’ were subjected to minimal processing techniques of steaming, dipping in hot water (98 o C), dipping in hot oil (190 o C) and microwave oven treatments. Steaming, dipping in hot water as well as the microwave oven treatments were conducted for 1,2,3,4 and 5 min time intervals using peeled cassava chips of 2,4,6,8 and 10 mm thickness. The time of treatment for dipping in hot oil, however, was resricted to 15,30 and 45 seconds. Quality factors such as crumbling, cracking, odour and surface gelatinization, were observed. The fresh sample served as the control. Shelf life studies were done for tubers packed in 28µ thick polythene bags of 21 × 15 cm size at ambient (30 o C) and refrigerated (5 o C) condition, by regular visual observations for any microbial attack. Significant difference in starch was found in case of 2,4 6 and 8 mm thick chips dipped in hot water. The weight loss parameter was statistically analysed at 5% level of significance using Anova for all the 4 techniques. Micro wave oven treatment of fresh cassava chip samples is observed to be the most effective minimal processing technique. The shelf life of the product could be enhanced to 3 days, compared to 2 days in low temperature storage for the control, and the product also has maximum resemblance with the fresh chips in its quality attributes.

Bluetongue (BT) is an economically devastating viral disease transmitted to domestic and wild ruminants by certain species of Culicoides midges. In the recent years, BT has spread beyond the historically recognized geographical limits and there has been emergence of novel genotypes. Changes in the vector epidemiology and the potential for emergence of new vector species raises concerns of further spread. This study, therefore, was conducted to assess the seroprevalence of Bluetongue virus (BTV) in goats and sheep of Assam. A total of 671 sera samples were collected from goats and sheep belonging to different agroclimatic zones of Assam irrespective of age, sex and breed. The samples were screened for presence of BTV specific antibodies using indirect Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (iELISA). The locations of the study sites were marked using a GPS device and GIS facilities were used to correlate the disease prevalence with geo-climatic conditions. Out of 671 sera samples, 304 (45.31%) were found to be positive for the presence of BTV antibody out of which 295 (46.97%) samples were from goats and 9 (20.93%) from sheep. Among the six agro-climatic zones of Assam, the highest prevalence was detected in the Hills region (91.00%) and the lowest in the Central Brahmaputra Valley (25.00%). The seropositivity observed in this study herein calls for extensive surveillance for detecting the virus incursion in the entire susceptible host range and also for studying the vector population in order to implement comprehensive strategies to predict and control BTV occurrence.

A low molecular mass protein (range from 17 to 20 kDa) found in urine, faeces, saliva, glandular secretions, and other pheromone sources has been discovered as a Ligand-carrier (i.e., pheromone carrier) involved in chemical-communication among mammals. The present study examines whether a low molecular protein can be found in the urine of a female Rajapalayam dog and, if so, whether its expression varies during the estrous cycle. SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS were used to detect estrus-specific urinary proteins in urine samples taken from eight female dogs. The total urinary protein level was substantially greater (p< 0.05) in the estrus phase than in the other phases. The results of SDS-PAGE analysis revealed seven different molecular masses of proteins across three phases of estrous cycle, ranging from 13 to 99 kDa. The intensity of the 17 kDa molecular mass protein was significantly higher during estrus phase and incredibly reduced during postestrus, we speculated that it may be an ovulation-indicating protein. The 17 kDa band was digested in-gel with trypsin before being analysed using MALDI-TOF/MS and MASCOT. MALDI-TOF MS and MASCOT searches revealed the presence of MUPs (major urinary proteins) in the 17 kDa band. The present study concludes that MUPs are exclusively expressed in large amounts during the estrus phase. They might transport and prolong the longevity of volatiles in scented sites, thereby providing olfactory cues (i.e. attraction towards males). In addition, the specific expression of MUPs in Rajapalayam dog can be exploited to detect estrus.

Rapid quantification of starch present in fresh cassava tuber by electronic means requires a conductivity work at various points of the tuber. The dielectric parameters of different samples of cassava tuber (Manihot esculenta L.) at the S-band of the microwave frequencies were determined. Tubers of cassava varieties of CTCRI, H-226, H-97, Sree Harsha, Sree Prabha, Sree Rekha, Sree Jaya, Sree Sahya, Sree Vijaya, Sree Prakash, Sree Visakham and H-165 were subjected to the cavity perturbation technique. The range of S-band microwave frequency tested were 2247, 2440, 2684 and 2970 MHz. Tubers of the variety H-226 had significantly lower conductivity value was 0.02s/m and the variety H-165, 1.49s/m and are significantly different. The dielectric constant (real part) of tubers of the varieties, H-165 and H-226 were 34.82 and 14.97 respectively and were significantly different. The proximal part of the tuber had the lowest level of conductivity followed by the middle portion and then the distal portion being 0.60s/m, 0.65s/m and 0.69s/ m respectively. The dielectric constant decreases steadily with increase in frequency between 2.00-2.90GHz range for fresh cassava tubers and the dielectric loss factor follows the same pattern. The moisture content of different varieties of fresh cassava tuber, H-226, H-97, Sree Harsha, Sree Prabha, Sree Rekha, Sree Jaya, Sree Sahya, Sree Vijaya, Sree Prakash, Sree Visakham and H-165 ranged between 44.52% and 58.66% as analysed using the moisture analyser at 80 °C. The starch content values estimated by the chemical method for all the varieties of fresh tuber ranged between 20.78% and 35.94%. The difference in starch content of tuber between the proximal and the middle region was found to be 3% and that of the middle and distal region was found to be 2%. The conductivity values of fresh cassava tuber can be used for the development of a starch indicator based on moisture content.

En esta zona, se encontraron Aguas Tropicales Superficiales (ATS) ubicadas dentro de las 15 mn frente a Puerto Pizarro y Aguas Ecuatoriales  superficiales (AES) localizadas entre Talara y Punta Sal. Las Aguas Costeras Frías (ACF) estuvieron dentro de la franja de 15 mn desde Paita hasta Chicama y al sur de Paita se observaron aguas de mezcla, por interacción de las ASS y ACF. Se encontraron valores deoxígeno disuelto mayores a 5,0 mL/L asociados a la presencia de las ATS, AES y ASS. Los biovolúmenes de zooplancton estuvieron entre 1,0 y 23,0 mL/muestra; más frecuentes (48%) fueron los valores de 10,1 a 20,0 mL/muestra, distribuidos desde Talara hasta el norte de Punta Sal. En relación con el ictioplancton, huevos de la familia Synodontidae y larvas de Engraulidae registraron mayor frecuencia (56%). Huevos y larvas de anchoveta presentaron distribución homogénea entre Mórrope y Talara; huevos y larvas de Vinciguerrialucetia estuvieron distribuidos entre Paita y Puerto Pizarro. Se determinó seis especies y tres géneros de larvas de peces mesopelágicos como los mictófidos, de los cuales la especie Diogenichthys laternatus presentó mayor frecuencia y abundancia. Además, se encontraron huevos y larvas de merluza en pequeñas concentraciones.
En cuanto a los eufáusidos, la especie más frecuente fue Nictyphanes simplex (68%) en estadios adultos y juveniles, seguidas de Euphausia lamelligera y E. mucronata (20%); se apreció predominancia de estadios caliptopis y furcilias, evidencia del proceso reproductivo de este grupo.

Se recolectaron 144 muestras de zooplancton empleando red Hensen de 300 μm de abertura de malla, en arrastres verticales con el buque parado hasta 50 m de profundidad. Se determinaron 18 especies de eufáusidos pertenecientes a los géneros Euphausia, Nematoscelis, Nematobrachion, Nyctiphanes y Stylocheiron. Predominaron los estadios tempranos calyptopis y furcilias con frecuencias de 68% y 87%, respectivamente. Se determinaron 63 especies de ictioplancton distribuidas en 35 familias. La especie más abundante fue Engraulis ringens “anchoveta”, sus huevos y larvas oscilaron de 3 a 4.566 huevos/m2 y de 3 a 2.574 larvas/m2, distribuidos desde Talara hasta San Juan de Marcona. Los huevos y larvas de Vinciguerria lucetia fluctuaron de 3 a 4.212 huevos/m2 y de 3 a 1.512 larvas/ m2, reportados por fuera de la plataforma continental; los huevos se distribuyeron de Punta Sal a Pimentel, frente a Salaverry y de Huarmey a San Juan de Marcona, mientras que las larvas se encontraron de Punta Sal a Punta La Negra, de Pimentel a Salaverry, de Huarmey a bahía Independencia y frente a San Juan de Marcona, con densidades mayores a 500 larvas/100 m2 frente a Punta Sal, Talara y bahía Independencia. Por frecuencia, fueron importantes otras especies de la familia Myctophidae: Diogenichthys laternatus “pez linterna”, Lampanyctus parvicauda, Triphoturus oculeus y Myctophum nitidulum, registradas en 35%, 11%, 8% y 6% del total de muestras recolectadas. Los biovolúmenes de zooplancton oscilaron entre 0,001 y 5,72 mL/m3, con mediana de 0,62 mL/m3. Los valores menores a 0,26 mL/m3 fueron los más frecuentes (47%) y estuvieron distribuidos desde Paita hasta San Juan Marcona, principalmente sobre la plataforma continental.

El Lago Titicaca con aportes fluviales (tributarios) considerado endorreico, es un ecosistema que desempeña diferentes funciones y acoge gran biodiversidad. De ahí la importancia de efectuar la evaluación de contaminantes, especialmente la adición de nutrientes, para valorar las fuentes contaminantes en el anillo circunlacustre del lago mediante la exploración de parámetros fisicoquímicos, considerando estado de la calidad del agua, aporte de la carga contaminante y variabilidad entre zonas y periodos evaluados. Se realizaron campañas en abril y setiembre/ octubre 2017. Las estaciones de monitoreo estuvieron en zonas de afluencia de la red tributaria que desagua en el lago y en puntos de ingreso de efluentes que captan aguas residuales. Se consideraron 39 estaciones (20 en bahías y desembocaduras de ríos, 10 en afluentes de ríos y 9 en puntos efluentes de aguas residuales de las plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales - PTAR). Las descargas de aguas residuales presentaron rangos elevados de demanda bioquímica de oxígeno - DBO5, nitrógeno y fósforo total, excediendo los límites máximos permisibles. Coliformes termotolerantes en todos los efluentes, excepto la laguna de oxidación de Tilali, no mostraron diferencias significativas (p> 0,05) entre periodos de evaluación. Referente a evaluación de ríos, se observó que la descarga diaria con mayor contribución de contaminantes se presentó en abril (nitrógeno total 15,70 t/día, fósforo total 3,54 t/día, SST 921,69 t/día y DBO5 42,02 t/día), en setiembre/octubre se redujo, los mayores aportes se registraron en la confluencia de los ríos Ramis y Huancané, Coata e Ilave. En comparación con lo reportado el 1981-1982, el nitrógeno total se incrementó a 0,65 y el fósforo total a 0,94. Respecto a la evaluación de calidad de agua según ECAs categoría 3 para ríos, excedió el pH en todas las estaciones evaluadas, la DBO5 superó para el Coata y los coliformes termotolerantes fueron altos para el río Desaguadero. En relación con bahías y zonas de desembocaduras del lago Titicaca (sector peruano), los nutrientes presentaron valores altos en la bahía de Puno y Yunguyo. Según ECA – categoría 2 y 4, en la mayoría de las zonas evaluadas, estuvieron altos conductividad eléctrica, fósforo y nitrógeno totales. En la bahía interior de Puno y Yunguyo se encontraron por encima de los rangos permisibles la clorofila-a, DBO5, SST y coliformes termotolerantes, presentando niveles hipertróficos. Según el análisis estadístico no mostró diferencias significativas (p>0,05) entre periodos evaluados.
Natanael Díaz: precursor de la pedagogía del orgullo racial en Colombia; Natanael Díaz: un poeta en los laberintos de la política (biografía intelectual y política).
Authors: Mina Aragón William
Published: January 2023

Esta reseña versa sobre dos libros escritos por Carlos Alberto Velasco titulados Natanael Díaz: precursor de la pedagogía del orgullo racial y otra obra de Luis Carlos Castillo titulado Natanael Díaz, un poeta en los laberintos de la política (biografía intelectual y política); ambas investigaciones buscan exaltar el pensamiento pedagógico, intelectual y político de un clásico afro del norte del Cauca. Estos textos son importantes pues reconocen el papel fundamental de un político y orador como Natanael Díaz en un contexto de racismo estructural, para la construcción del movimiento social afrocolombiano en fenómenos como el Club del Negro, el movimiento sindical afro y la inserción política de los afros entre los años 40 y 60 del siglo XX en Colombia.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between culinary aesthetics, destination image, tourist satisfaction, and tourist loyalty in Ternate City. This type of research is an explanatory research with a quantitative approach. There are four variables used, namely culinary aesthetic variables, destination image, tourist satisfaction variable, and tourist loyalty variable. Data collection was obtained through distributing questionnaires to 120 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a population of domestic tourists from Ternate City who visited at least two times to culinary tourism in Ternate City. The data analysis of this research used descriptive analysis and path analysis. The results of the study prove that the culinary aesthetic variable has a significant effect on the image of the destination, the image of the destination has a significant effect on the tourist loyalty variable. This study also found an indirect effect of port aesthetics on tourist loyalty through destination image and tourist satisfaction. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that the Regional Government and tourism business actors maintain the image of local culinary in Ternate City and increase the intensity of tourist visits by promoting all types of tourist attractions including local culinary and optimizing tourist attractions in the diverse Ternate City through the image of the destination.

The invasive diseases due to Streptococcus pyogenes are pretty rare infections especially in pediatrics. We present to you a case of a 13-year-old who was admitted in pediatric’s intensive care for a polytrauma, on his 4th day of hospitalization he developed a fever for which he had a cytobacteriological assay of the spinal fluid who was in favor of a bacterial meningitis with 61 white cells predominantly neutrophilic 81% and a positive direct examination and culture after 24-hour incubation. The blood cultures from 3 sets (5 bottles) were also positive after 24h incubation and all pointed out to β hemolytic colonies in favor of streptococcus that was identified afterwards with serogrouping and on an automaton proving the incrimination of streptococcus group A. A review of literature was then conducted to enlighten clinicians on this unusual but equally dangerous bacteria.

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global health issue that keeps testing academic efforts to cease it. Many factors are involved in progression to severe disease including metabolic and inflammatory disorders. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors associated with mortality in those admitted for COVID-19 in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a hospital in Espirito Santo, Brazil. Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study, with data collection from medical records. The primary outcome studied is mortality, categorized by length of stay in the ICU. A total of 163 patients were included in this study. The data of these patients where then separated in two groups, first with 93 discharges and second with 64 deaths. The parametric Student’s T-test and the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for continuous data and the χ2 and Fisher’s exact test for categorical data were used to compare the variables between both groups. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 (in the bivariate analysis) were submitted to the Cox Survival Hazard multivariate survival model. Results: Bivariate analysis identified as factors on admission associated with mortality: age > 60 years, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease thrombocytopenia, lactate dehydrogenase elevation, D-dimer elevation and use of supplemental oxygen. Complications while on ICU associated with higher mortality are: mechanical ventilation, mechanical ventilation> 14 days, acute renal failure, bacterial pneumonia, post COVID-19 acute arrhythmia, bloodstream infection, acute renal injury and anemia. To exclude possible interference, a multifactorial analysis was applied with the Cox Survival Hazard proportional risk model, showing that mechanical ventilation (OR: 17.254, 95%CI 4.35-68.43, p <0.0001) and anemia (OR: 2.17, 95%CI 1.15-4.09, p<0.016) are independent variables related to mortality. Conclusion: This study identified that anemia on admission and the need to provide mechanical ventilation during ICU stay are independent factors for predicting mortality.
