Authors: Farias Fernando Bittencourt de , Willrich Guilherme , Brito Guilherme Renzo Rocha
Published: August 2021

The Black-capped Becard (Pachyramphus marginatus) has two geographically isolated subspecies, including the Atlantic Forest subspecies that is distributed from Pernambuco State to Paraná State. Here we report the first observation of the species in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. On 12 November 2019 an adult male of P. marginatus was observed in the municipality of São Francisco do Sul, on the northeastern coast of Santa Catarina, during an inventory for the creation of a protected area. The species was also observed on three other occasions in the same locality. These are the first known records for Santa Catarina and extend the known distribution range of this species 40 km southward. We also discuss some explanations for the records.
“Venha o autor do canto”: comentários sobre o prefácio do Euangeliorum libri quattuor de Juvenco
Authors: Mello Jéssica Frutuoso , Miotti Charlene Martins
Published: August 2021

No século IV, Juvenco, um sacerdote hispano, foi responsável por inaugurar a tradição das chamadas epopeias bíblicas, com sua única obra sobrevivente – os Euangeliorum libri quattuor – que é dedicada a narrar a vida de Cristo em hexâmetros datílicos. Diante da novidade, o poeta utiliza o prefácio para localizar seu trabalho em relação aos poetas anteriores, justificando sua empreitada e delineando suas escolhas para a construção do texto. Abordando as informações apresentadas e a maneira como isso é feito, propõe-se uma análise dessa porção do poema, de modo a demonstrar como o autor realiza esse processo ao utilizar temas comuns da poesia anterior ao mesmo tempo em que rivaliza com ela. Observa-se, como exemplo, a programática invocação às musas ser substituída por um apelo ao Espírito Santo, e as tradicionais fontes gregas de inspiração, pelo rio Jordão.

Fall of Efrafa com Watership Down: A queda do fascismo pela música
Authors: Passos Júlio Aied
Published: August 2021

Proponho analisar a música do conjunto Fall of Efrafa como potência de reformulação política, não somente a partir da composição literária, mas também no âmbito da composição harmônica. A obra do conjunto consiste em três álbuns, que formam um trilogia, onde os pensamentos anti-fascista e revolucionário, inclusive ao modo de vida humano, são centrais. Para refletir na ação da música na política, utilizo o pensamento de Agamben em La musica suprema, ao ler A República de Platão, de que a música é política e a política é musical. É impossível escapar de uma leitura, nessa mesma direção política, do romance Watership Down, de Richard Adams, no qual a banda não só retira o seu nome, como também se baseia em sua mitologia e narrativa para elaborar suas composições.

Pavement Management System is designed to provide objective information and useful data for analysis so that road managers can make more consistent, cost-effective, and defensible decisions related to the preservation of a pavement network. During the process of road network maintenance and rehabilitation, road authorities strive to select an optimum maintenance strategy from a number of alternatives. Mathematical optimization models, supported by suitable data, can assist decision making about allocating funds between alternative maintenance tasks and about the size of the maintenance budget. It can be done through the analysis of costs and benefits by comparing the various maintenance alternatives with the help of an optimization method known as solver. The road segment mainly included in study was road from Hosanna Menhariya to Wachemo University and other important access roads. These roads are divided into different sections in not more than 100m length. The Study involves data collection, data analysis and the selection of optimal maintenance strategy by using a method known as Solver (Add-ins in Microsoft excel). In this study, patching was selected as possible maintenance among the other alternatives. The result of solver analysis for patching indicates that as 74,574 birr allocated for the maintenance of pavement per kilometer in different three segments under the municipality having the constraint budget of 152,018.45 birr/km. The optimized solution shows that about 20962.5 birr would be saved in one year per km with in municipality.
An evaluation of Avogadroâ€™s number in the light of HRTEM and EDS studies of high dilutions of Ferrum metallicum 6, 30, 200, 1M, 10M and 50Mc
Authors: Edacheril Rajendran Scaria
Published: August 2021

As a therapeutic tool high dilutions (HDs) are always at the center of controversies due to problems to validate them as a function of Avogadroâ€™s number. Nevertheless, homeopathy is practiced around the world as a complementary and alternative medicine. The present study sought to evaluate HDs of homeopathic drug Ferrum metallicum (Ferr) 6, 30, 200, 1M, 10Mc and 50Mc, all of which except for 6c surpass Avogadroâ€™s number. Using HRTEM and EDS it was conclusively shown that: 1) all the investigated HDs of Ferr contained plenty of nanoparticles (NPs); 2) the size of NPs were within the quantum dots (QD) size range, except for 50Mc, in which larger particles were found (12.61nm); 3) NPs contained iron in various weight percentages; 4) the weight percentage of iron was highest in HDs 10Mc and 50Mc.
Attitudes towards and use of homoeoprophylaxis: findings of two international surveys
Authors: Golden Issac , Stranieri Andrew , Nuaimat Alia Al
Published: August 2021

Background: The use of homoeopathic remedies to prevent infectious diseases, homoeoprophylaxis (HP), was first described over 100 years ago. To date, no systematic studies have been performed to identify the attitudes that current practitioners hold about HP or current trends in the use of HP.

Aims: This study aimed to discover attitudes to HP amongst accredited homeopathic practitioners particularly with respect to overall acceptance, context of use, and preferred remedies.

Methodology: Two international surveys were conducted in 2014. Responses were received from 1,124 homeopaths in 35 countries; 104 of whom responded to both surveys.

Results: A large proportion of respondents have positive attitudes to HP and currently use HP in their practice. However, responses also indicate that knowledge about HP is chequered. Confidence in the evidence base of HP also is variable.

Conclusion: Results indicate that HP is widely practised, however, further research is needed to improve confidence in the evidence base of HP, and better programs are needed to ensure that education about HP is enhanced.
Homeopathic drug standardization through biological evaluations: An untrodden avenue
Authors: Kardile Mahendra Vaijnath , Patil Chandaragouda , Haidar Ali , Mahajan Umesh Bharat , Goyal Sameer
Published: August 2021

Background: There is a dearth of chemico-analytical or instrumental methods for standardization and quality control of higher dilutions of homeopathic drugs.

Aim: This review highlights the challenges in standardization of anti-inflammatory homeopathic drugs and suggests a battery of biological assays for their standardization.

Methods: We retrieved a total 57 scientific reports from the experimental studies and scientific reviews published between January 1999 and June 2014 related to anti-inflammatory homeopathic drugs and their high dilutions. These comprised of 18 reports on preclinical evaluation, 15 on source materials, 9 on isolated constituents and 15 studies on in-vitro experiments. Few recent citations which supported the initial studies were added later during the compilation of the manuscript.

Conclusion: Standardization and quality control of homeopathic mother tinctures and high dilutions warrants an urgent attention. As biological activities are observed to be attributed to the high dilutions which are practically devoid of active ingredients, their standardization may be done through the suggested battery of biological investigations. It is suggested that the current methods of standardization of homeopathic drugs need to be upgraded to include sensitive, reproducible and relevant biological assays so that the end users are assured of the quality, efficacy, and safety of homeopathic dilutions.

Abstract. The oxidation of Δ3-carene and one of its main oxidation products, caronaldehyde, by the OH radical and O3 was investigated in the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR under atmospheric conditions for NOx mixing ratios below 2 ppbv.
Within this study, the rate constants of the reaction of Δ3-carene with OH and O3 and of the reaction of caronaldehyde with OH were determined to be (8.0±0.5)×10-11 cm3 s−1 at 304 K, (4.4±0.2)×10-17 cm3 s−1 at 300 K and (4.6±1.6)×10-11 cm3 s−1 at 300 K, in agreement with previously published values.
The yields of caronaldehyde from the reaction of OH and ozone with Δ3-carene were determined to be 0.30±0.05 and 0.06±0.02, respectively. Both values are in reasonably good agreement with reported literature values. An organic nitrate (RONO2) yield from the reaction of NO with RO2 derived from Δ3-carene of 0.25±0.04 was determined from the analysis of the reactive nitrogen species (NOy) in the SAPHIR chamber. The RONO2 yield of the reaction of NO with RO2 derived from the reaction of caronaldehyde with OH was found to be 0.10±0.02. The organic nitrate yields of Δ3-carene and caronaldehyde oxidation with OH are reported here for the first time in the gas phase. An OH yield of 0.65±0.10 was determined from the ozonolysis of Δ3-carene.
Calculations of production and destruction rates of the sum of hydroxyl and peroxy radicals (ROx=OH+HO2+RO2) demonstrated that there were no unaccounted production or loss processes of radicals in the oxidation of Δ3-carene for conditions of the chamber experiments.
In an OH-free experiment with added OH scavenger, the photolysis frequency of caronaldehyde was obtained from its photolytical decay. The experimental photolysis frequency was a factor of 7 higher than the value calculated from the measured solar actinic flux density, an absorption cross section from the literature and an assumed effective quantum yield of unity for photodissociation.
SIBaR: a new method for background quantification and removal from mobile air pollution measurements
Authors: Actkinson Blake , Ensor Katherine , Griffin Robert J.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Mobile monitoring is becoming increasingly popular for
characterizing air pollution on fine spatial scales. In identifying local
source contributions to measured pollutant concentrations, the detection and
quantification of background are key steps in many mobile monitoring
studies, but the methodology to do so requires further development to
improve replicability. Here we discuss a new method for quantifying and
removing background in mobile monitoring studies, State-Informed Background Removal (SIBaR).
The method employs hidden Markov models (HMMs), a popular modeling
technique that detects regime changes in time series. We discuss the
development of SIBaR and assess its performance on an external dataset. We
find 83 % agreement between the predictions made by SIBaR and the
predetermined allocation of background and non-background data points. We
then assess its application to a dataset collected in Houston by mapping
the fraction of points designated as background and comparing source
contributions to those derived using other published background detection
and removal techniques. The presented results suggest that the SIBaR-modeled source contributions contain source influences left undetected by other techniques,
but that they are prone to unrealistic source contribution estimates when they
extrapolate. Results suggest that SIBaR could serve as a framework for
improved background quantification and removal in future mobile monitoring
studies while ensuring that cases of extrapolation are appropriately
addressed.
A new method to quantify particulate sodium and potassium salts (nitrate, chloride, and sulfate) by thermal desorption aerosol mass spectrometry
Authors: Kobayashi Yuya , Takegawa Nobuyuki
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The reaction of sea salt (or biomass burning) particles with sulfuric acid and nitric acid leads to the displacement of chloride relative to sodium (or potassium). We have developed a new particle mass spectrometer to quantify non-refractory and refractory sulfate aerosols (referred to as refractory aerosol thermal desorption mass spectrometer: rTDMS). The combination of a graphite particle collector and a carbon dioxide laser enables high desorption temperature (up to 930 °C). Ion signals originating from evolved gas molecules are detected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Here we propose a new method to quantify the mass concentrations of sodium nitrate (NaNO3: SN), sodium chloride (NaCl: SC), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4: SS), potassium nitrate (KNO3: PN), potassium chloride (KCl: PC), and potassium sulfate (K2SO4 : PS) particles by using the rTDMS. Laboratory experiments were performed to test the sensitivities of the rTDMS to various types of particles. We measured ion signals originating from single-component particles for each compound, and found a good linearity (r2 > 0.8) between the major ion signals and mass loadings. We also measured ion signals originating from internally mixed SN + SC + SS (or PN + PC + PS) particles, and found that the temporal profiles of ion signals at m/z 23 (or 39) were characterized by three sequential peaks associated with the evolution of the desorption temperature. We tested potential interferences in the quantification of sea salt particles under real-world conditions by artificially generating "modified" sea salt particles from a mixture of diluted seawater and SS/SN solution. Based on these experimental results, the applicability of the rTDMS to ambient measurements of sea salt particles is discussed.
Advances in the Hydraulic Interpretation of Water Wells Using Flowmeter Logs
Authors: Díaz-Curiel Jesús , Biosca Barbara , Arévalo-Lomas Lucía , Miguel María J. , Caparrini Natalia
Published: August 2021

Abstract. This paper reports on the methodology developed for a new hydraulic interpretation of flowmeter logs, allowing a better characterization of continental hydrological basins. In the course of a flowmeter log, different flow stretches are established mostly corresponding to permeable layers (aquifers), among which there are other stretches mainly corresponding to less permeable layers (aquitards). In such hydrological basins of sufficient thickness, these flow stretches may not have the same hydraulic head. This fact brings about the need for a new hydraulic interpretation that provides the actual distribution of horizontal permeability throughout the aquifer at depth. The modified hydraulic interpretation developed in this study focuses on the differences of the effective pressure gradient (considered as the difference between the hydraulic head in the well and the hydraulic head of each stretch) experienced by the different flow stretches along the well, due to the existence of different hydraulic heads. The methodology has been developed starting from a water well located in a multilayered aquifer within the so-named Madrid Basin (the NW part of the continental basin of the Tajo River), located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. In this well, a step-drawdown pumping test was conducted, in which the pumping rate versus drawdown and the specific capacity versus drawdown showed discrepancies with Darcian behaviour and an exponent of the Jacob equation of less than 1. Flowmeter logs were then recorded for different discharge rates and pump depths; the resulting water input from deeper permeable layers did not appear to show the expected relation with respect to drawdown. With the proposed methodology the results comply with the expected linearity and the cited discrepancies are solved.
Microbial activity responses to water stress in agricultural soils from simple and complex crop rotations

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Increasing climatic pressures such as drought and
flooding challenge agricultural systems and their management globally. How
agricultural soils respond to soil water extremes will influence
biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nitrogen in these systems. We
investigated the response of soils from long-term agricultural field sites
under varying crop rotational complexity to either drought or flooding
stress. Focusing on these contrasting stressors separately, we investigated
soil heterotrophic respiration during single and repeated stress cycles in
soils from four different sites along a precipitation gradient (Colorado,
MAP 421 mm; South Dakota, MAP 580 mm; Michigan, MAP 893 mm; Maryland, MAP
1192 mm); each site had two crop rotational complexity treatments. At the
driest (Colorado) and wettest (Maryland) of these sites, we also analyzed
microbial biomass, six potential enzyme activities, and N2O production
during and after individual and repeated stress cycles. In general, we found
site specific responses to soil water extremes, irrespective of crop
rotational complexity and precipitation history. Drought usually caused more
severe changes in respiration rates and potential enzyme activities than
flooding. All soils returned to control levels for most measured parameters
as soon as soils returned to control water levels following drought or flood
stress, suggesting that the investigated soils were highly resilient to the
applied stresses. The lack of sustained responses following the removal of
the stressors may be because they are well in the range of natural in situ
soil water fluctuations at the investigated sites. Without the inclusion of
plants in our experiment, we found that irrespective of crop rotation
complexity, soil and microbial properties in the investigated agricultural
soils were more resistant to flooding but highly resilient to drought and
flooding during single or repeated stress pulses.

Organizational voice and silence are multidimensional concepts located at two different poles. While there are studies in the literature examining the relationship between organizational silence and loneliness, there are not enough studies on the relationship between organizational voice and loneliness. Within the scope of the “exit, voice and loyalty” model of Hirschman (1970), employees give various reactions to negativities. In this study, the effects of loneliness in the workplace on organizational voice were examined within the scope of the responses of the employees. In line with the purpose of the study, a questionnaire was applied to 330 employees working in Ankara using the convenience sampling method. In the study, "Workplace Loneliness Scale" and "Organizational Voice Scale" were used. Within the scope of the study, the data were analyzed using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 programs. It was determined that the fit values of the model (CMIN\DF=2.192; GFI=0.879; AGFI=0.848; IFI=0.927; RMSEA=0.060) were found to be between acceptable values. As a result of the analyzes, the emotional deprivation sub-dimension has a positive relationship on the defensive voice (β=.624, p<0.001), while social companionship sub-dimension has a negative relationship on the acquiescent voice (β=-.434, p<0.001) and prosocial voice (β = -.787, p<0.001). In addition, significant differences between variables according to demographic characteristics were examined and recommendations were made for future studies.

Tak banyak orang membaca berita mengenai kepulangan Jan Ruff-O’Herne pada pagi tanggal 19 Agustus 2019 di rumahnya, di Adelaide, Australia, dikelilingi oleh anak, cucu dan cucu buyutnya. Usianya 96 tahun. Jan Ruff-O’Herne meninggalkan jejak perjuangan selama lebih lima dekade untuk berkampanye melawan pemerkosaan dalam perang dan menghabiskan sisa hidupnya untuk merebut kembali martabatnya. Dia adalah perempuan Eropa pertama yang berani bersaksi di depan publik secara terbuka. Dia merobek kebisuan sejarah hitam yang ditolak untuk waktu yang sangat lama oleh pihak yang melakukannya. Untuk itu, dia menerima berbagai penghargaan, di antaranya dari  Pemerintah Australia, Pemerintah Belanda, dan Vatikan. O’Herne adalah salah satu dari sedikit perempuan Eropa di wilayah pendudukan Jepang selama Perang Dunia II yang dipaksa menjadi budak seks. Sebagian besar berasal dari Asia, yakni Korea (terbesar), Indonesia, Filipina, China dan Taiwan. Dia menjadi satu-satunya survivor yang berjuang untuk menolak penggunaan istilah “comfort women”. Comfort mengandung arti sesuatu yang lembut aman dan ramah. “Kami ini korban perkosaan dan serangan seksual dalam masa perang oleh tentara Kerajaan Jepang”. O’Herne menuntut permintaan maaf Pemerintah Jepang secara pribadi dan berada dalam barisan survivor yang menolak kompensasi berupa uang dari Asian Women Fund. Dia juga menekankan bagaimana perkosaan menjadi alat untuk menundukkan dalam perang sehingga harus dilihat sebagai kejahatan kriminal perang dan kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan. Dan yang menarik lainnya adalah testimoni atas Jan Ruff-O’Herne ini juga dibentuk menjadi sebuah film dokumenter yang diproduksi di Australia dengan sutradara Ned Lander, berjudul 50 Years of Silence (1994).

The population is food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2010 – 2019. From this population, 26 selected companies became the research sample, as many as 14 companies. Moreover, the number of observations used were 140 observations. The data type used is secondary data and the data analysis technique used in Panel Data Regression Analysis and Interaction Moderating Test with the help of EViews10 software.
The results of this study indicate that the alpha 5% profitability has a positive and significant influence on firm value. Meanwhile, total asset turnover has a positive but not significant effect on firm value. This study also indicates that good corporate governance can strengthen the influence of profitability on firm value. However, good corporate governance cannot moderate the effect of total asset turnover on firm value.

Keywords: total asset turnover, profitability, firm value and good corporate governance.
Challenges at the host-arthropod-coronavirus interface and COVID-19: a One Health approach
Authors: Fuente José de la , Mera Isabel G. Fernández de , Gortázar Christian
Published: August 2021

Background: The world faces the challenge posed by the interaction between hosts and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) with potential role for arthropod vectors, and the effect of SARS-CoV-2 variants on acquired immunity, vaccine efficacy and coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic control. Proposal: The characterization of the role played by animal hosts and host-virus interactions is essential to address this challenge. Zoonotic (animal-to-human) and reverse zoonotic (human-to-animal) routes may be involved in virus transmission with a possible still unconfirmed role for arthropod vectors. Herein we propose to consider the risks posed by the possible role of arthropod vectors in COVID-19 and that immunity against SARS-CoV-2 may increase the risk for zoonotic virus transmission. These risks should be considered when evaluating vaccine efficacy and monitoring animal SARS-CoV-2 variants. Conclusion: Virus surveillance, epidemiology, sequencing and evaluation of susceptibility to antibodies and other protective immune mechanisms from vaccinated individuals should be improved. A One Health approach such as the one applied by our group SaBio is necessary for a more effective control of COVID-19 and prevention of future pandemics.
The Spectral Difference Raviart-Thomas Method and new Flux Reconstruction Schemes for Simplex Elements
Authors: Sáez-Mischlich Gonzalo
Published: August 2021

Polynomial aliasing errors are an important source of numerical instabilities in under-resolved simulations of turbulent flows carried out with spectral element methods. Within this context, the Spectral Difference (SD) method has been recently shown to reduce aliasing instabilities compared to Flux Reconstruction (FR) formulations for a similar computational cost [1]. However, until very recently, the SD method was only compatible with tensor-product and/or triangular elements. In this talk, the novel Spectral Difference Raviart-Thomas (SDRT) formulation [2] for two and three-dimensional tensor-product and simplex elements and its implementation in PyFR will be described. Through the process, the equivalence between the SDRT and FR methods will be established. Additionally, comparisons between SDRT-related formulations and FR-DG in both linear and non-linear test cases will be presented. At last, I will present some of the visualization and post-processing functionalities recently added to PyFR.

El uso que los pequeños y medianos productores le han dado a los bosques nativos ha sido meramente extractivo, obteniendo leña, postes, metro ruma y carbón vegetal. Esta actividad extractiva se ha realizado sin el resguardo de la sustentabilidad del recurso, cortando los mejores ejemplares y dejando el peor material genético para su regeneración, con el fin de asegurar el sustento familiar la cual es su máxima prioridad. Además, consideran al bosque como un competidor de los usos agropecuarios, por lo que lo queman o lo cortan para abrir espacios para los cultivos y la ganadería, produciendo progresivamente la pérdida de estos recursos y la erosión de los suelos al perder su cubierta protectora.

En el propósito de abordar estas problemáticas se han desarrollado las Guías Expertas de Mejores Prácticas de Manejo Sustentable para Renovales de Nothofagus como una herramienta para lograr que pequeños y medianos productores forestales implementen prácticas de Manejo Forestal Sustentable y de este modo, producir un importante avance hacia una futura certificación de manejo forestal sustentable FSC y/o Certfor.

Las guías fueron desarrolladas en el marco del proyecto CORFO-FDI "Generación de modelos de manejo sustentable en Bosque Nativo y Guías Expertas de Manejo Forestal para Pequeños y Medianos Productores" que ejecuta el Instituto Forestal en forma conjunta con la Fundación Chile.

Estrategia de manejo integrado de Tremex fuscicornis (Fabr.) en Chile
Authors:   Instituto Forestal (Chile), González González Marlene Verónica , Parra Sanhueza Patricio , Salinas R. Aldo , Soto Aguirre Daniel Alberto
Published: August 2021

Tremex fuscicornis, conocida comúnmente como avispa taladradora de la madera, es un insecto que fue detectado en el año 2000 por el SAG en Chile. Se ha observado su daño sobre álamo, sauce, nogal, acer y acacio falso, sin embargo, de acuerdo a antecedentres bibliográficos, esta especie podría afectar a un gran número de latifoliadas; de allí su alta importancia económica, ya que entre sus hospederos más probables se encuentran otras especies frutales y fagáceas exóticas. Aún cuando no se ha detectado ataque de T. fuscicornis sobre alguna especie nativa, estas podrían llegar a convertirse en sus hospederos.

A partir del año 2003 se comenzó con la implementación de varias medidas que apuntaban a desarrollar una estrategia de manejo integrado para esta avispa, a objeto de reducir el daño actual y potencial sobre álamos, de manera de mantener la plaga en un nivel poblacional que disminuirá el daño económico.
