Published: February 2021

Este texto trata das principais dificuldades enfrentadas pela agricultura familiar para realizar a transição agroecológica, expandir e diversificar a produção no Extremo Sul da Bahia. Para entender as dinâmicas que orientam o cultivo, a comercialização e o consumo dos produtos agroecológicos na região, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica e levantamento qualitativo de informações por meio de entrevistas com produtores, consumidores e profissionais da área. Pelo estudo, constataram-se vários impactos negativos provocados pela expansão das monoculturas e pelo uso intensivo de agrotóxicos em âmbito regional. Em contrapartida, reafirma-se a importância da agroecologia como uma alternativa em termos socioeconômicos, culturais, de sustentabilidade ambiental e de saúde integral à população que adere a essa prática. Decorre daí a necessidade e o desafio de fortalecer o modelo agroecológico por meio de capacitação técnica, da educação do campo, das políticas de incentivo à produção e escoamento, bem como de ações conscientizadoras acerca dos benefícios do consumo de tais produtos.

Published: February 2021

Introducción. El espacio público es importante en la arquitectura de las ciudades; sin embargo, desde el siglo XX ha perdido su protagonismo. Además, se ha dado un descenso en la realización de actividades sociales debido a la aparición de ciertas tipologías arquitectónicas. En este sentido, el estudio de los usuarios en el espacio público permite comprender sus necesidades y diagnosticar futuras intervenciones urbanas. Cuenca fue declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. “El Barranco” es el borde del Centro Histórico de Cuenca y es un importante conector con la zona de nueva planificación lo que lo convierte en un escenario elemental de relaciones sociales. Objetivo. Determinar la influencia de la calidad del espacio público en los patrones de comportamiento de sus peatones. Metodología. La investigación fue de carácter cuantitativa, de tipo descriptiva realizando cada punto de estudio observaciones de la dinámica peatonal durante dos semanas y mediante una ficha de recolección de datos se aplicaron encuestas a 240 usuarios que frecuentan las escalinatas y se obtuvieron 3337 formularios. Resultados. A través del estudio de cinco puntos estratégicos de “El Barranco” se determinó que la calidad de su espacio público no es buena y esto ha incidido a que sus escalinatas se usen mayormente para actividades necesarias, y que exista muy poca motivación para desarrollar actividades sociales. También se encontró que el grupo etario, la nacionalidad y el grupo étnico influyen en los patrones de comportamiento de los peatones. De todos los peatones que transitan por los puntos de estudio se determinó que solo el 20% realiza actividades sociales, 24% actividades opcionales y el 56% solo los utiliza como puntos de conexión a sus actividades cotidianas.
Scope of using ICT for knowledge management on adaptation to climate change in agriculture
Authors: Ghosh A , Huda S , Chakraborty TR
Published: February 2021

The char land of Bangladesh is vulnerable to climate change. There are changes in extreme weather events. Impact of climate change resulted feminization of agricultural practices. Number of development interventions have been taken to skill the rural community to take adaptation action on agriculture. Development interventions taken in the char land of Dimla, Nilphamari were studied from June 2018 to December 2019 to identify the capacity of climate change adaptation interventions using the information and communication technology to empower women. Mobile Phone Use Index study found that nearly three-fourth of rural female farmers were capable to manage knowledge on climate change adaptation if their access to device was ensured. Inclusion of women in the technology playing a very important role towards transformative leadership. Nearly 85% of the women farmers have high environmental awareness; likely to be contributory to adaptation knowledge management. Community themselves identified them more resilient comparing with areas where promotion of technology is not supported. Institutes with the capacity of information technology promotion could be the hub of resilience knowledge management for women, but external supports are required there. Self-motivation supported by project intervention has created notable capacity of a good number of women who could be the mentor of women transformative leadership towards resilience.

Soil physicochemical properties under eucalyptus tree species planted in alley maize cropping agroforestry practice in Decha Woreda, Kaffa zone, southwest Ethiopia
Authors: Alemayhu A , Yakob G
Published: February 2021

Different studies have shown that the effect of eucalyptus trees on soil physicochemical properties is variable, which indicates that more investigations that focus on different specific geographical locations and eucalyptus tree species are required. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the status of soil nutrients under four eucalyptus tree species planted in hedgerow system in comparison with that in its adjacent open land. To achieve these objectives, soil samples were taken from a soil depth of 0-20 cm from 15-20 spots by using auger and composited for respective treatments. Each soil samples analyzed at Teppi soil laboratory following standard procedures. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and treatments separation were made by using Least Significance Difference (LSD) at 95% probability level. The analysis result indicated that there were no significance differences between Eucalyptus tree species and its adjacent open land in the level of soil nutrients (total N, available P, pH, OM, soil moisture and OC) (p<0.05). The only significant difference recorded between Eucalyptus tree species and its adjacent open land in the level of sand percentage whereas non-significant difference was noticed between the treatments on the level of silt and clay percentage in the study. Finally, the results indicate that the eucalyptus tree species established in hedgerow system on clay soil in high rainfall area have no significant impact on soil physicochemical properties under short rotation period of the tree species.

Published: February 2021

The study is conveyed to compare the profitability of chickpea and boro rice in Rajshahi district, which is one of the most drought-prone areas of Bangladesh. In this study, a total of 180 farmers (90 chickpea growers and 90 boro rice growers) are used as sample respondents, and data were collected by using a structured questionnaire in 2019. A probit regression model is used to find out the determinants that affect the cultivation of chickpea and boro rice. The important finding of this study is that the Benefit-Cost Ratio for chickpea and boro rice production is 1.88 and 1.05, respectively. The results indicate that chickpea cultivation is more profitable than boro rice cultivation. Besides, the study reveals that occupation, farm size, and seed have a positive impact while family size, human labor, and irrigation have negative effects on farmer’s decision to cultivate chickpea cultivation rather than boro rice. It is, therefore, concluded that the farmers should be encouraged to grow more chickpea rather than boro rice as a means of increasing farm income through crop diversification program.

Published: February 2021

In South Borneo, sweet potato baking is very good market and has to be shipped from Java for fulfilling the demand of the people. Preparation of sweet potato as additional food is only simple by put in oven, so it is sold fresh from the oven. In 2015, description of area mainly physical and chemical aspects were undertaken to provide adequately data. Analysis of soil sample was done for the parameters of pH, C organic as well as N, P and K. Based on this analysis, the treatment was designed based on practical work. Apex vine cutting of several sweet potato varieties were taken from ILETRI to Borneo during 2016 and 2017. In 2017, two varieties were used as the main plot, and five inputs were determined as subplot. Therefore, ten combination treatments were laid down in three replications, in the plot size of 6.0 m x 5.0 m. Planting distance of sweet potato was 100 cm x 25 cm. During 2017, planting was done at February and harvesting was undertaken on July. Growth and yield components were analyzed by statistical procedure by using MSTATC. Statistical analysis indicated that there was not significantly affected by interaction between variety and agronomic inputs as well. However, both main and subplot were separately affected growth and yield. ILETRI variety Beta3 gave better yield with agronomic input1 able to obtain 15.39 t ha-1. However, the increase of agronomic input did not follow the increase of tuber yield.

Authors: Sakwa BN , Ondiek JO , King’ori AM , Ndambi OA
Published: February 2021

Use of conserved forages and proper ration formulation has great potential to bridge the gap in dairy nutrition and reduce seasonal variations in milk yield. This study determined the effects of various fodder and ration formulation interventions on dairy farm performance in North Rift, Eastern, and Central regions of Kenya. Seventy-two farms were purposively selected as participating farms and assigned into six groups of twelve as follows: two groups on silage production, two groups on ration formulation, and two control groups having similar production systems and in the same geographical locations as the other groups. Data on daily dry matter feed intake and milk yield were recorded while laboratory analysis was done to determine milk butterfat and protein content. The data was analyzed using a multi-linear regression model to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results showed that farmers using feed rationing with advisory services had the highest average daily milk yield (19.7 kg/cow) compared to maize train silage (16.8 kg/cow) and those with silage support from Service Provider Enterprises (SPE) (13.3 kg/cow) (P<0.05). Daily dry matter feed intake/cow varied significantly across the interventions as well as feed utilization efficiency (P<0.05). Milk butterfat and milk protein content did not differ (P>0.05) across the interventions. In conclusion, use of maize train silage and feed rationing with advisory services increased milk yield and reduced seasonal milk fluctuation.

Factors influencing adoption of high tunnels for tomato production in northeast district, Botswana
Authors: Badimo Dandy
Published: February 2021

The study was carried out to investigate constraints and determinants of high tunnels adoption for tomato production in the North-East District of Botswana, using household survey data sourced directly from 116 horticultural farmers during the months of May and June 2017. Descriptive statistics and a binary probit regression model were employed to analyze constraints and determinants of high tunnels adoption for tomato production. The prohibitive cost of high tunnels, inadequate knowledge on high tunnels, inadequate capital and markets were identified as major constraints that hinder high tunnels adoption. The adoption of high tunnels was found to be positively influenced by years of education, access to extension services and farm size. The findings suggest that encouraging tunnel designers to consider constructing the structure using local materials could be ideal to cut down on the startup cost. Strengthening extension service and re-engineering of the current extension system is necessary to improve the adoption rate of the technology.

Manajemen Rapat, Teori dan Aplikasinya dalam Pesantren
Authors: M. Yusuf
Published: February 2021

Artikel ini mengkaji tentang manajemen rapat, sebuah aktivitas manajerial yang urgen dalam sebuah organisasi baik ber-laba seperti sebuah perusahaan maupun nirlaba seperti lembaga pendidikan. Minimnya pengetahuan dan juga kesadaran akan pentingnya aktivitas rapat bagi sumber daya manusia dalam sebuah organisasi, disinyalir menjadi pemicu utama mengapa aktivitas rapat dijalankan dengan apa adanya tanpa persiapan matang dan tindak lanjut yang serius. Padahal jika diamati, aktivitas rapat dalam sebuah organisasi semacam menjadi sebuah alat kontrol dan pengendali utama lajunya kegiatan organisasi.

          Dalam dunia pesantren, aktivitas rapat juga dapat dikatakan belum diberikan porsi yang pas, jika memang dilaksanakan kegiatan rapat, itu pun masih berjalan sekedarnya dan tanpa follow up yang jelas. Bahkan di beberapa pesantren tidak ada sama sekali kegiatan rapat, andai pun memang ada, masih belum memenuhi prinsip-prinsip manajemen rapat secara teori. Hal itu dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya pemahaman bagi pelaku organisasi baik secara teori maupun secara aplikatif.

New insights into application of cardiac monophasic action potential
Authors: Yang S-G , Kittnar O
Published: February 2021

Monophasic action potential (MAP) recording plays an important
role in a more direct view of human myocardial electrophysiology
under both physiological and pathological conditions. The
procedure of MAP measuring can be simply performed using the
Seldinger technique, when MAP catheter is inserted through
femoral vein into the right ventricle or through femoral artery to
the left ventricle. The MAP method represents a very useful tool
for electrophysiological research in cardiology. Its crucial
importance is based upon the fact that it enables the study of the
action potential (AP) of myocardial cell in vivo and, therefore, the
study of the dynamic relation of this potential with all the
organism variables. This can be particularly helpful in the case of
arrhythmias. There are no doubts that physiological MAP
recording accuracy is almost the same as transmembrane AP as
was recently confirmed by anisotropic bidomain model of the
cardiac tissue. MAP recording devices provide precise information
not only on the local activation time but also on the entire local
repolarization time course. Although the MAP does not reflect the
absolute amplitude or upstroke velocity of transmembrane APs, it
delivers highly accurate information on AP duration and
configuration, including early afterdepolarizations as well as
relative changes in transmembrane diastolic and systolic potential
changes. Based on available data, the MAP probably reflects the
transmembrane voltage of cells within a few millimeters of the
exploring electrode. Thus MAP recordings offer the opportunity to
study a variety of electrophysiological phenomena in the in situ
heart (including effects of cycle length changes and
antiarrhythmic drugs on AP duration).
Higher levels of salivary α-amylase predict failure of cessation efforts in male smokers

Published: February 2021

The ability to predict the success or failure of smoking cessation
efforts will be useful for clinical practice. Stress response is
regulated by two primary neuroendocrine systems. Salivary
cortisol has been used as a marker for the hypothalamuspituitary-adrenocortical axis and salivary α-amylase as a marker
for the sympathetic adrenomedullary system. We studied
62 chronic smokers (34 women and 28 men with an average age
of 45.2±12.9 years). The levels of salivary cortisol and salivary
α-amylase were measured during the period of active smoking,
and 6 weeks and 24 weeks after quitting. We analyzed the men
separately from the women. The men who were unsuccessful in
cessation showed significantly higher levels of salivary α-amylase
over the entire course of the cessation attempt. Before stopping
smoking, salivary cortisol levels were higher among the men who
were unsuccessful in smoking cessation. After quitting, there
were no differences between this group and the men who were
successful in cessation. In women we found no differences
between groups of successful and unsuccessful ex-smokers
during cessation. In conclusions, increased levels of salivary αamylase before and during smoking cessation may predict failure
to quit in men. On the other hand, no advantage was found in
predicting the failure to quit in women. The results of our study

Calretinin expression in the mammalian neocortex: a review
Authors: Barinka F , Druga R
Published: February 2021

In the mammalian neocortex, the calcium-binding protein
calretinin is expressed in a subset of cortical interneurons. In the
recent years, research on interneurons is one of the most rapidly
growing fields in neuroscience. This review summarizes the
actual knowledge of the functions of calretinin in neuronal
homeostasis and particularly of the distribution, connectivity and
physiological properties of calretinin expressing interneurons in
the neocortex of rodents and primates, including humans. The
possible neuroprotective role of calretinin and the presumed
“resistance” of calretinin-expressing interneurons to various
pathological processes are also discussed.
Applying the Human Rights Framework to Economic Policy: Insights from an Impact Assessment of Services Trade Liberalisation in Mauritius
Authors: Dommen Caroline
Published: February 2021

This article sets out the methodology and findings of a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) of the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) for Mauritius. It presents analysis of possible impacts of services trade liberalisation and deregulation on the right to water, on labour rights and on labour migration. By examining impacts of trade-related policies through the lens of human rights law, this article brings to the fore how an HRIA can strengthen trade policy-making, and how it can provide African negotiators and other stakeholders with legal and conceptual arguments to strengthen their positions in economic negotiating contexts that are often highly complex. The article is a contribution to the literature in that it provides insights into the underexplored area of human rights impacts of liberalisation of trade in services, and in that it illustrates through specific examples how the human rights analytical framework can be applied to services trade negotiations in other fora, and to economic policy more broadly.
Age Group Identity and Political Participation

Young adults are underrepresented in American politics, but political scientists have devoted little attention to age bias in political participation and public policy. Drawing on arguments that groups vary in their cohesiveness, and that groups with stronger shared identity participate in politics at higher rates, we explore the relationship between age identity and political participation. Using data from a survey of a nationally-representative sample of adults, we measure how strongly citizens identify with others in their age group. We find that young adults do tend to have weaker age identity than senior citizens, but also that their average age identity is as strong as their political party identity. Second, we explore whether age identity is associated with two forms of political participation: voting and participating in protests related to climate change. We find that age identity is a strong predictor of both forms of political participation, especially for young adults.
About the Development of Improvisational Skills in the Pupils of Children’s Music Schools
Authors: Revzis Inessa M.
Published: February 2021

A considerable amount of pedagogical manuals and the programs devoted to methods of instruction of improvisation is connected with examining improvisation in the context of jazz pedagogy, or the art of performance (most frequently — piano). However, the development of the composer’s improvisational skills is deemed to be more important. The diffi culties of creation of the algorithm of instruction of this type of activities, but quite apparent is the set of conditions connected, fi rst of all, with the natural inclination towards improvisation, and also the presence of compositional abilities; second, with the mandatory mastery of an entire complex of music theory knowledge. Upon the combination of these two factors, it becomes possible to speak of a high level of development of improvisational skills. The article offers the point of view regarding the organization of the process of acquisition of skills of improvisation, the basis of which is comprised by six basic components, presenting six types of improvisation: melodic, poetical, harmonic, textural, ornamental and genre-related. Each separately presented subject is signifi cant, most notably, for the content of the course of “Composition,” which reveals the basic laws of construction of a musical composition, which, in their turn, are fundamental for the development of improvisational abilities. And because improvisation frequently becomes the fi rst impulse for creating a musical composition, which presumes its expression through spontaneity, it follows that both improvisation and composition thereby exist in close mutual connection.
Young Feminist Men Finding their Way
Authors: Ekelund Robin
Published: February 2021

Men and feminism is a contentious topic. In theoretical discussions as well as in previous studies, men and feminism have been described as an oxymoron, that being a man and a feminist is a border land position and that it entails experiences of so-called gender vertigo or gender limbo. Still, there are men who identify themselves as feminists and engage in feminist settings, parties and organizations. In this article, I aim to explore how masculinity is constructed and shaped within feminism. The article is based on qualitative interviews with nine young feminist men in Sweden. Using Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology and the concepts of disorientation and reorientation, I analyse how the interviewees experience themselves as men and feminists and how they navigate within their feminist settings. The analysis illustrates that in contrast to previous research, the interviewees articulate an assuredness in their position as men and feminists. However, being a man and a feminist is still a somewhat disorienting position that promotes reflexive journeys through which the interviewees seek to elaborate a sensitive, perceptive and “softer” masculinity. Feminism can be seen as a way of doing masculinity, and the ways in which the interviewees (re)orient themselves in their feminist settings can be understood as processes of masculinity construction. These reorientations position the interviewees in the background of their feminist settings, where they carry out what I call political housekeeping and men-feminism. From this position, they also adopt a perspective of a theoretical as well as temporal distance and articulate themselves as actors in the history of feminism. Thus, the article highlights that feminist men can seek out a masculinity that is positioned in the background yet still experience themselves as subjects in the feminist struggle.
Walk the Talk
Authors: Goedecke Klara
Published: February 2021

This article explores two Swedish TV shows centred on close, emotional friendships between men, Våra vänners liv (2010) [Our friends’ lives] and Boys (2015), as examples of postfeminism with a Swedish twist, inspired by Swedish ideologies of gender equality. Explicitly referring to feminism and gender equality, both shows explore what can be considered progressive masculine positions, drawing on ideas about sincerity, authenticity, emotionality and insight in men as central but not easily attained. I discuss portrayals of men as well as their friendships and explore the meanings of race, class and sexuality in the shows. Unlike many US and UK postfeminist representations of bumbling, ironically sexist anti-heroic men, efforts at reaching sincerity and authenticity characterize the protagonists of the shows. Similar to other postfeminist cultural representations, both shows portray political problems as individual ones or, alternatively, as issues that already have been dealt with. For instance, Boys portrays a posthomophobic and postracial Sweden where racism and homophobia are of the past, and both shows portray personal development in individual men aimed at becoming progressive as solutions to problems regarding gender justice. Both shows explore masculine positions that are available and unavailable, comprehensible and incomprehensible in contemporary Sweden, said to be one of the most gender-equal countries of the world. New masculine positions and intimacies between men, incorporating and referring to feminist or gender equality discourses, may be imagined and made available in shows like Våra vänners liv and Boys. However, such references and their consequences must be critically scrutinized.
Optimizing Microalgal Biomass Feedstock Selection for Nanocatalytic Conversion Into Biofuel Clean Energy, Using Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making Processes

Biofuel production from microalgae non-food feedstock is a challenge for strengthening Green energy nowadays. Reviewing the current technology, there is still reluctance in investing towards the production of new algal strains that yield more oil and maximize capital gains. In the current work, the microalgal feedstock selection problem is investigated for increased lipid production and nano-catalytic conversion into clean biofuel. For that purpose, a variety of Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making processes and a multitude of Optimization criteria spanning to technological, environmental, economic, and social aspects are used. The strains selected for the analysis areChlorellasp.,Schizochytriumsp.,Spirulinasp., andNannochloropsissp. The methods applied are fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, FTOPSIS (fuzzy technique for the order of preference to the ideal solution), and FCM (fuzzy cognitive mapping). Pairwise comparison matrices were calculated using data from extensive literature review. All aforementioned fuzzy logic methodologies are proven superior to their numeric equivalent under uncertain factors that affect the decision making, such as cost, policy implications, and also geographical and seasonal variation. A major finding is that the most dominant factor in the strain selection is the high lipid content. Moreover, the results indicate that theChlorella Vulgarismicroalgae is ranked as the best choice by the FTOPSIS method followed by theNannochloropsisstrain, andSpirulina Platensiswas found to be the last in performance.The best and worst case scenario run with FCM experimentally verify this choice indicating thatChlorella Vulgarisfollows this trend of selection mostly with the technological and the economic criteria for both the sigmoid and the hyperbolic tangent deep-learning functions used.
