Authors: Barreto Carlos Henrique da Costa , Ghisleni Taís Steffenello , Becker Elsbeth Léia Spode
Published: March 2022

ResumoO ensino adaptativo surge como uma das estratégias da Era Digital para a otimização do processo de aprendizagem, amparando os alunos na elaboração de percursos de aprendizagem por meio de recursos tecnológicos. Ao mesmo tempo, ele permite reconhecer o que, onde, como e quando cada um dos alunos aprende com mais facilidade, apropriando-se disto para promover um ensino voltado às habilidades específicas desse estudante. Neste artigo o objetivo é apresentar um mapeamento de perfis de aprendizagens em alunos da pós-graduação da Universidade Franciscana – UFN. A metodologia é de caráter exploratória e descritiva, seguindo como matriz a teoria de Gardner (1995) sobre as Inteligências Múltiplas e buscando a compreensão dos alunos em relação às suas aprendizagens. Foi possível inferir que a multiplicidade intelectual é uma caraterística atemporal do ensino para todo o corpo discente e deve ser compreendida e incorporada pelo docente na educação, assim aproveitando as habilidades individuais dos alunos desenvolvendo com eles, bilateralmente, suas áreas de conhecimento e a apropriação tecnológica da Era Digital.

AbstractAdaptive teaching emerges as one of the strategies of the Digital Age to optimize the learning process, supporting students in the elaboration of learning paths through technological resources. At the same time, it allows to recognize what, where, how and when each student learns more easily, appropriating this to promote teaching geared to the specific skills of that student. In this article the objective is to present a mapping of learning profiles in graduate students at the Franciscana University - UFN. The methodology is exploratory and descriptive, following the theory of Gardner (1995) on Multiple Intelligences as a matrix and seeking the understanding of students in relation to their learning. It was possible to infer that intellectual multiplicity is a timeless characteristic of teaching for the entire student body and should be understood and incorporated by the teacher in education, thus taking advantage of the individual skills of students, developing with them, bilaterally, their areas of knowledge and technological appropriation of the Digital Age.

Exploring the disparity between public perception of COVID-19 diagnostic tests and scientific evidence: A quantitative systematic review and cross-sectional survey
Authors: Acharya Shrey , Schmidt Angela M. , Park Yoohyun , Patel Zinal , Yuen Gavin , Raez-Villanueva Sergio
Published: March 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The rapid transmission of this disease has resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to global panic and misinformation, the public has questioned the validity of COVID-19 diagnostic tests in terms of their sensitivity. Our study compared the public’s familiarity to the sensitivity of quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and antigen tests in Canada to scientific data. A quantitative systematic review of 47 primary literature sources was conducted to determine the sensitivity of the RT-qPCR and antigen tests. Simultaneously, a survey with 105 participants was carried out to ascertain the public’s perception of these tests. The average reported sensitivity of the RT-qPCR test across the literature was 94.7%, significantly higher than that of the antigen test at 72.9% (p > 0.05). The public’s assumptions regarding the sensitivities of the RT-qPCR and antigen tests were determined to be 70-90% and 70-100%, respectively. In contrast to the findings from the quantitative systematic review, there was a significant, positive correlation (r ~ 0.5, p > 0.05) on the perceived sensitivity of the RT-qPCR versus the antigen tests for a given respondent. A negative/positive perception of one test was correlated with a negative/positive perception of the other test. Although the RT-qPCR test is reportedly more sensitive than the antigen test, the public’s perception of the sensitivity of one test is similar and correlated with the sensitivity of the other test. These results suggest the need to communicate information to the public transparently to instill trust in both tests.
Türkiye’de 1991–2002 Döneminde Yerel Yönetim Reformu Çabalarına Dair Söylemler, Denemeler ve Gelişmeler
Authors: ÖZGÜR Hüseyin , CANSEVER Niran
Published: March 2022

1990’lı yıllarla birlikte küreselleşme süreci ile 1980’li yıllarda başlayan ekonomik ve siyasal neoliberal politikaların etkisiyle; hukuk devleti, demokratikleşme, insan hakları gibi kavramların önemi artmıştır. Yaşanan gelişmelerle yerel yönetimler ile merkezi hükümetin ilişkileri yeniden sorgulanmıştır. Merkezin vesayetinin ve karışmasının daha sınırlı, daha katılımcı ve yönetişim çerçevesinde şekillenen bir yerel yönetim anlayışının tartışıldığı 1990’lar Türkiye’sinde yerel yönetim reformu tartışmaları güncelliğini korumuş, özellikle yerel seçimler öncesinde popülerliği artmıştır. Bu nedenle çalışmada, 1991 milletvekili seçimlerinden 2002 milletvekili seçimlerine kadar olan süreçte başka ülkelerdeki yönetişim ve katılım temelindeki değişimlere paralel olarak Türkiye’de 1991–2002 dönemindeki yerel yönetim reform çabaları/söylemleri, taslakları, örnekleri ve denemeleri irdelenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, reform çabalarının hukuki arkaplanı, sonuçları ve eksiklikleri, yerel ve metropoliten yönetişime doğru dönüşümü mümkün kılan siyasi, iktisadi, idari, küresel ve uluslararası ilişkiler bağlamındaki öncelikler, siyasi aktörlerin bakış açıları akademik yazın ile hükümet ve siyasi parti belgeleri harmanlanarak tartışılmaktadır. Türkiye’de 1990’lı yıllarda, etnik ve dinsel hareketler güçlenmiş, radikal sağ partiler ortaya çıkmış, siyasal partiler yelpazesi parçalanmıştır. Kısa süreli koalisyon hükümetleriyle yönetilen 1991–2002 dönemi Türkiye’sine, siyasal ve ekonomik istikrarsızlık ile toplumsal huzursuzluklar hâkim olmuş, tekrarlanan ve zenginleşen içeriklere sahip çoğu söylem ve vaatlerin gerçekleşmesi AK Parti iktidarları dönemine ertelenmiştir. Daha katılımcı, yeterli ve yetkin, günün şartlarına uygun ve demokratik yerel yönetimler doğrultusunda reformlar yapılması ihtiyacı siyasal partilerin 1991–2002 dönemi belgelerine girmiştir. Yerel yönetimler reformuna dair 1991–2002 döneminde yasalaşmayan söylem ve tasarılar, sık değişen ve çoğu kısa ömürlü koalisyon hükümetlerinin 2002’de bitimiyle, AK Parti iktidarları döneminde, -1990’lardaki söylemlere bazı benzerlikler içeren şekilde- 2004’ten itibaren kanunlaşmış ve ikincil mevzuatları oluşturulmuştur.
Toplumsal Hareketlerin Siyaset Psikolojisi Kavramları ile İncelenmesi: Arap Baharı Sürecinde Tunus ve Mısır

Published: March 2022

Siyaset bilimi ve psikoloji disiplinlerinin sınırları içerisinde şekillenen siyaset psikolojisi alanı; insanların, grupların ve devletlerin siyasal davranışlarını, insanların duygu durumları ile ilişkilendirerek anlamlandırılmasında yardımcı olmaktadır. Toplumsal hareketlerin oluşum süreci, katılımcıları, karşıtlıkları, devamlılığı, yaygınlaşması ve gelişimi itibariyle birçok ihtilaflı kuram ve kavramın ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuş ve her iki disiplininin akademik yazınında kendine yer bulmuştur. Toplumsal hareketlerin, insanların siyasal davranış üretebilecekleri motivasyonlar ile oluşmaları, bu sürecin siyaset psikolojisi kavramlarıyla incelenmesinin yolunu açmıştır. 2010 yılının sonunda başlayan Arap Baharı hareketleri, Ortadoğu siyasal tarihinde önemli bir dönüm noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Tunus’ta başlayan protestoların internetteki Facebook, Twitter ve YouTube gibi sosyal ağ veya paylaşım siteleri ve El Jezire gibi uydu üzerinden yayın yapan kuruluşlar aracılığıyla yayılarak uluslararası boyutta seslerini duyurmaları ve büyük ölçüde lidersiz olarak gelişmeleri, Arap Baharı hareketlerini daha önceki toplumsal hareketlerden farklılaştırmıştır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Arap Baharı hareketleri “meydan hareketleri” olarak tanımlanmış ve değerlendirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, Arap Baharı sürecinde önemli bir yer tutan Tunus ve Mısır’daki toplumsal hareketlerin siyaset psikolojisi kavramlarından yararlanarak analiz edilmesi ve açıklanmasıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, toplumsal hareket kuramları, akademik literatürdeki tartışmalardan beslenerek incelenmiş, Arap Baharı hareketleri meydan hareketleri olarak tanımlanmış ve Tunus ve Mısır’da 2011 yılında rejim değişikliklerine yol açan gelişmeler de ‘duygular’, ‘siyasallaşmış ortak kimlikler’ ve ‘göreli yoksunluk’ kavramları çerçevesinde açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.

In this study, a remote homologous protein detection problem, which is a problem belonging to the field of bioinformatics, which has a great contribution in the field of medicine, is discussed. Protein sequences taken from the SCOP database, which is an important and widely used database for proteins, were tested for remote homolog protein detection in this study. Feature vectors were obtained from the protein sequences using the bag of word model. These obtained feature vectors were classified using the kNN classifier algorithm. In this classification, the different distances were used as Bray Curtis, Chebyshev, Cosine, Dice, Euclidean, Hamming, Jaccard, Kulczynski, Matching coefficient, Minkowski, RogersTanimoto, RussellRao and SokalMichener on kNN classifier for remote homolog protein detection. There is proposed special k fold value formula for prevent imbalanced data problem. It has observed that the kNN algorithm with the Bray Curtis distance with cross validation with special k fold value shows the most successful performance with 99% accuracy.
TDOA BASED TRACKING MEASUREMENT FOR GEO SATELLITES ORBIT DETERMINATION: EVALUATION FOR THE SATELLITE OPERATORS
Authors: ÖZ İbrahim , YILMAZ Ümit Cezmi , GÜLER Ümit
Published: March 2022

The satellite's orbit determination has recently evolved with new tracking data and data processing methods and algorithms developments. The satellite operators need the current and future motion of the satellites for operational purposes and use various methods to measure the tracking data. This study investigates the time difference of arrival (TDOA) based ground data measurement and processing of these tracking data to obtain orbital parameters and the communication satellite operators' use of the method. First, a conceptual ground station network was established to collect TDOA based tracking data. Then these data were processed to determine the orbits using a sequential process (SP) filter method. The results were analyzed by comparing radial, in-track, and cross-track positions and velocities for three satellites at different orbital locations. The mean root mean square error (RMSE) differences of radial, in-track, and cross-track (RIC) position values of three satellites are about 19 m, 5 m, and 1 m, respectively. Similarly, the mean RMSE differences of RIC velocity values are about 0.8 cm/s, 0.15 cm/s, 0.05 cm/s respectively. These values are below the success criteria that are satellite typical flight dynamics requirements. The estimated communication satellites orbit with TDOA based observation data are fully consistent with truth orbit parameters. The satellite operators can utilize the proposed TDOA measurement method with its benefits to estimate satellite orbit.
El desafío “transformador” del nuevo rol educador, ante los avances de la “codificación digital” en la relación “académico-docente”

¡A decir verdad!..., uno de los grandes axiomas que no resisten cuestionamiento en la Academia que hoy se reclama por los nuevos horizontes y tendencias desafiantes de la realidad que nos circunda, es esa virtud Transformadora de la que debe gozar el nuevo rol del Educador actual; colmado de todo un sentido dinámico, no repetitivo, ni mucho menos atávico de la forma como se transmite el conocimiento; dotado de la convicción, pero sobretodo de la internalización de que “nada es para siempre” y de que “todo estacambiando” en el mundo exterior; consciente de que esta en una época en la que el “ciberespacio” ha alterado la medida analógica de los tiempos, para mutar el entorno por la medida tecnológica, virtual o digital de sus movimientos.
Optimization of the Design of Diagnostic Systems through Requirement-Based Feature Selection
Authors: Gresser Melissa , Brehl Dominik , Rabe Marc David , Bäker Bernard
Published: March 2022

The classification of faults based on available diagnostic information in large complex mechatronic systems is a well-studied research subject. One challenge is the classification of faults with missing or ambiguous diagnostic information present. In real-world applications, this has the effect of misclassified faults, resulting in costly replacements of functional components. As even the acquisition of diagnostic information is afflicted with costs and part of the diagnostic functions are mandatory, the design of diagnostic content at an early system development stage is essential. The paper presents a procedure to automatically allocate a set of diagnostic functions for a complex mechatronic system that is informative and low in costs. It proposes a granular graph structure called the Diagnostic Cover Graph (DCG) to represent the system functionalities and the respective diagnostic functions. The DCG can represent restrictions on the availability of functionalities, restrictions on the executability of diagnostic functions and potential interdependence between them. On its basis, a decision table is generated, and a minimal test cost feature selection method such as the Test-Cost-Sensitive Quick Reduct (TCSQR) is conducted. The approach guarantees the proposal of a close-to-optimal subset of diagnostic functions. The capability of the presented procedure is demonstrated for the vehicle brake system for several diagnostic scenarios.

Authors: Pampana Venkatesh , Lavin Daniel , Duchon Markus , Srivastava Ankit
Published: March 2022

Supercapacitors have attained high power density and exceptional durability with the recent advancement in terms of their materials and chemistries. The potential scientific and industrial applications of supercapacitors are being explored continually. This instigates the need for model-based analysis and synthesis tools, which can describe dynamic phenomena, support multiphysics problems, and allow for immediate use in design and advanced control analysis. For these aspects, modelling of supercapacitors would be beneficial. However, there are no open-source simulation tools on supercapacitors available for the scientific community to work with. This paper presents the development of an open-source supercapacitor modelling package in python language. The proposed package is evaluated by comparing the results with a standard MATLAB/Simulink supercapacitor model. The simulation results have shown that both models yielded similar envelope.

Published: March 2022

Dermatophytoses are increasing at an alarming rate in the paediatric population. The trend is now shifting from the more familiar tinea capitis to involvement of the glabrous skin.

To evaluate the various clinical manifestations, factors governing the clinical patterns, and causative species of fungus.

A prospective observational study was done on all cases upto 15 years of age presenting with a clinical picture characteristic/ suspicious of dermatophytic infections. Direct microscopy was done on all cases, fungal culture in select cases.

Two hundred and seventy cases were found to be suffering from dermatophytoses. Three groups of presentation were seen, 68(25.1%) cases presented with tinea incognito, 80(29.6%) cases showed some alteration while 122(45.2%) cases presented with classical features. Direct microscopy was positive in 230(85%) cases, fungal culture in 60%. Maximum number of cases were tinea corporis with 57.4%, followed by tinea faciei in 33.1% cases. Family history was positive in 200(74%) cases, younger patients came earlier for consultation.

Hospital based study where cases with minimal involvement might have been excluded.

Paediatric tinea is now presenting with adult patterns of presentation. They often mimic other dermatoses due to involvement of previously uninvolved sites and often evades diagnosis. Awareness, high index of suspicion and laboratory tools will result in early diagnosis and treatment.
A comparative analysis of water immersion induced hand wrinkling in dermatological diseases
Authors: Ravindran Surya , Criton Sebastian
Published: March 2022

Skin wrinkling is hypothesized as an adaptive phenomenon that is generated as an evolutionary process. Water immersion-induced wrinkling is a non-invasive test graded from 0-5 that involves placing one’s hands into lukewarm water for a set amount of time. Despite the increased interest in skin rejuvenation, a baseline study describing the variation in water immersion induced hand wrinkling is still missing. We aim to experimentally compare the water immersion-induced wrinkling time in various dermatological conditions in the current study.

One hundred patients from the Department of dermatology were evaluated based on their presenting Dermatoses like Psoriasis Vulgaris, Acral Vitiligo, and Hand Dermatitis were asked to place their hands in 25±1°C tap water to elicit water-induced wrinkling. Twenty-five patients were included as age-matched controls without any significant dermatoses. Following this, the time of early and complete disappearance of wrinkles was documented.

: Out of 100 patients, water-induced wrinkling time was seen earliest in Dermatitis > healthy controls > Psoriasis>Vitiligo. rnThe formation of wrinkles diminished significantly as age advanced. Within the normal population, females participants took longer to develop water immersion-induced wrinkles compared to males.

: There is a significant variation in the water immersion induced hand wrinkling pattern in patients with Dermatoses like Psoriasis, Vitiligo, and Hand Dermatitis due to structural alterations in the epidermis and dermis. Estrogen and the sympathetic nervous system play a significant role in water immersion-induced wrinkling. The role of estrogen in this phenomenon was a novel observation.

: Vitiligo is a common form of localised depigmentation. It is a non-contagious acquired condition resulting from the progressive loss of melanocytes which is characterised by totally amelanotic, non scaly, chalky-white macule with distinct margins.

To study the clinical and epidemiological profile of vitiligo patients.

: In this observational cross-sectional study total 40 vitiligo patients were included in this study. Detail history and clinical examination of patients were done.

: In this study majority of the vitiligo patient belonged to the age group of 21-40 years. The mean age of vitiligo cases in this study was 24 years. In the present study the male: female ratio was 1:1. Among 40 cases, about 26 cases were unstable and only 14 were stable. In the present study, the most common type of vitiligo found was vulgaris type and the mean duration of disease in vitiligo cases was around 9 years. In our study, 10 patients had positive family history of vitiligo.

Our observations are essentially consistent with the literature, there was no difference in clinico-epidemiological features of vitiligo.

Cutaneous warts are a common but vexing condition with high recurrence rate and tendency to spread inspite of various therapeutic options. Intralesional immunotherapy is an attractive modality as it has an additional role of clearing both treated and distant warts by stimulating cell-mediated immunity against human papilloma virus.

To evaluate efficacy and safety profile of intralesional Vitamin D3 formulation in the treatment of cutaneous warts.

Patients with multiple cutaneous warts were injected intralesionally with Vitamin D3 (0.2 ml, 15 mg/ml) at an interval of 2 weeks for maximum of 4 sessions, and patients were followed up for 6 months.

: Of the 106 patients included, complete clearance was seen in 26 (76.4 %) patients of verruca vulgaris, 20 (66.6 %) of palmoplantar warts, 18 (100 %) of plane warts, 6 (50 %) of genital and filiform warts each. Moderate response was seen in 14 (13.2%) patients while mild response was seen in 6 (5.7 %) patients. No response was seen in 10 (9.4 %) patients. No serious adverse effects were reported.

: Intralesional Vitamin D3 is effective, safe, cheap and long lasting modality with a short downtime for the treatment of multiple cutaneous warts.

AIM: To determine whether limb remote ischemic post-conditioning (LRIC) protects against high-intraocular-pressure (IOP)-induced retinal injury, and to identify underlying molecular mechanisms.
METHODS: In mice, IOP was increased to 110 mm Hg for 50min and LRIC applied to the unilateral leg for three occlusion cycles (5min/release). Three animal groups (control, high IOP, and high IOP+LRIC) were arranged in this study. Plasma was collected from LRIC treated mice. Retinal histology, oxidative stress were determined by histological section staining and chemical kit. C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and Iba-1 parameters were evaluated by immunofluorescent staining and Western blot.
RESULTS: The data showed that LRIC treatment alleviated the retinal histological disorganization and ganglion cell loss induced by high IOP. The CHOP, Iba-1 expression and oxidative stress marker also were inhibited by LRIC treatment. To further explore underlying mechanisms, plasma from LRIC treated animals was intravenously transfused into high-IOP animals. The results showed plasma injection decreased caspase 9 expression and DHE staining signals compared with that in high IOP retinas.
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that LRIC treatments exert retinal protective effects against high-IOP injury. Endogenous humoral factors release into the circulation by LRIC may contribute to homeostatic protection by reducing monocyte infiltration and/or microglia activation.

Some notes about power residues modulo prime
Authors: Mejía Diego A. , Kiriu Yuki
Published: March 2022

Let q be a prime. We classify the odd primes p ≠ q such that the equation x2 ≡ q (mod p) has a solution, concretely, we find a subgroup L4q of the multiplicative group U4q of integers relatively prime with 4q (modulo 4q) such that x2 ≡ q (mod p) has a solution iff p ≡ c (mod 4q) for some c ∈ L4q. Moreover, L4q is the only subgroup of U4q of half order containing −1. Considering the ring Z[√2], for any odd prime p it is known that the equation x2 ≡ 2 (mod p) has a solution iff the equation x2 −2y2 = p has a solution in the integers. We ask whether this can be extended in the context of Z[n√2] with n ≥2, namely: for any prime p ≡ 1 (mod n), is it true that xn ≡ 2 (mod p) has a solution iff the equation D2n(x0, . . . , xn−1) = p has a solution in the integers? Here D2n(x̄) represents the norm of the field extension Q(n√2) of Q. We solve some weak versions of this problem, where equality with p is replaced by 0 (mod p) (divisible by p), and the “norm" Drn(x̄) is considered for any r ∈ Z in the place of 2.

A importância da comunicação com profissionais de saúde: o olhar dos usuários na atenção primária à saúde no interior de Portugal
Authors: Nunes Alexandre Morais
Published: March 2022

Resumo: A comunicação em saúde é uma peça fundamental para criar uma relação entre profissionais e usuários, especialmente em questões relacionadas com a aprendizagem e com os processos de trabalho em promoção da saúde, prevenção da doença realizados na atenção primária à saúde. A comunicação ganha uma maior relevância quando aplicada em populações envelhecidas com um menor grau de escolaridade e que têm necessidades específicas de saúde e dificuldades cognitivas. O objetivo deste artigo é o de analisar a percepção dos usuários sobre o conceito de saúde e os processos de trabalho numa unidade de atenção básica à saúde no interior de Portugal (cidade de Castelo Branco). Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo com uma abordagem sócio antropológica que através de um conjunto de entrevistas procurou perceber junto dos usuários a diversidade de concepções existentes sobre os serviços que podem estar na base de algumas dificuldades em alcançar melhores resultados. Como principais conclusões se verificou que para os usuários saúde é o contrário de doença, que o medico é o único profissional de saúde que devem ouvir e consultar, mas apenas quando estão com um problema de saúde.

Host adaptability and insecticide resistance of insects are closely related to detoxification metabolism-related proteins. In this study, the distribution and expression of glutathione s-transferase (GST) in Agrilus zanthoxylumi Hou (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) were studied. Based on the transcriptome data of A. zanthoxylumi, five GST genes were screened and cloned. The transcription levels of the five GST genes in male and female adult head, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in order to provide a theoretical basis for the functional study of the gene. The results showed that all five GST genes had highly conserved N-terminal domain or C-terminal domain, belonging to two subfamilies of Delta or Sigma. The phylogenetic tree results showed that the evolutionary relationship of GST genes between A. zanthoxylumi, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), and Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) was the closest; RT-qPCR results showed that the five GST genes were differentially expressed in different tissues and sexes, and its expression level in each tissue of the male was higher than that of the female as a whole, especially in the head. The results of this study can provide basic data for analyzing the mechanism of detoxification resistance of A. zanthoxylumi and provide reference for its biological control and resistance research.

Published: March 2022

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a generalist pest of food crops and turfgrasses. Insecticides such as diamides provide longer residual control of some grass-feeding caterpillars relative to pyrethroids. The objective was to compare the responses of fall armyworm larvae to residues of commonly used insecticides on hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy). A field experiment determined mortality of free-ranging fall armyworms exposed for 1–3 h on turfgrass at 1, 7, 14, 28, and 42 d after a foliar application. A laboratory experiment determined the mortality of larvae fed grass clippings harvested from treated plots at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 d after application. Larvae crawled similar or greater distances across bermudagrass treated with bifenthrin and permethrin relative to nontreated grasses. After crawling on bermudagrass treated with chlorantraniliprole or cyantraniliprole 14 d after application, larval mortality was ≥77%. Mortality of larvae fed pyrethroid-treated clippings was ≤40% and no different from control larvae regardless of residue age. Larvae fed bermudagrass with 1 to 7 d old residues of cyantraniliprole or indoxacarb resulted in significantly greater mortality than larvae fed nontreated clippings. No residues of cyantraniliprole or indoxacarb older than 7 d resulted in mortality significantly greater than larvae fed nontreated clippings. Larvae fed chlorantraniliprole-treated clippings of all residue ages produced larval mortality greater than larvae fed nontreated clippings. These experiments support previous reports of extended residual control from chlorantraniliprole against other grass-feeding caterpillar species. The diamides protect turfgrass from larvae better than pyrethroids.

Metabolic detoxification is a common mechanism of insecticide resistance, in which detoxifying enzyme genes are overexpressed. Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the major soybean pests in the United States and has developed resistance to pyrethroid insecticides after almost two decades of use. To date, there are no validated reference genes to normalize expression of detoxification genes for pyrethroid resistance in A. glycines. From a literature review, a list was compiled of genes from 36 gene families (68 sequences) frequently used as reference genes in gene expression analysis in Hemiptera. Exon–exon junction primers were designed for the best alignment matches to a draft A. glycines genome and were assayed in a three-phase screening. The first screen eliminated nonamplifying primers. The second screen used nine A. glycines populations varying in resistance to pyrethroids and eliminated primers with inconsistent amplification or low amplification efficiency, and quantitatively assessed the stability of expression in the 14 remaining candidates using NormFinder and a generalization of BestKeeper. The third screen quantitatively validated these results on the best candidates. Six genes were identified with the greatest stability across technical and biological replication and the nine populations. The genes identified as the most suitable reference genes for the study of detoxifying enzymes related to pyrethroid resistance in soybean aphid were: actin, RPL9 (ribosomal protein L9), RPS9 (ribosomal protein S9), AK (arginine kinase), RNAPol2 (RNA polymerase II), and RPL17 (ribosomal protein L17). Our findings will support studies related to insecticide resistance in A. glycines.

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Kuwayama) (Hemiptera: Liviidae), is a severe pest of citrus orchards worldwide. Its control is based mainly on the use of conventional insecticides, and resistance to many of those compounds is widespread. Phenotypic bioassays to detect resistance compare the response of a field-collected population with a laboratory-reared population that is susceptible to insecticides. This comparison usually does not involve a susceptible field-collected counterpart since its existence is currently rare. We found an isolated field population of D. citri living on a wild host, orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata [L.] Jack). Considering its lifetime fly capacity, gene flow with any insecticide-treated population was nonexistent or negligible. Thus, we determined the response in fourth-instar nymphs and unsexed 2- to 5-d-old adults in bioassays of commercial formulations of the commonly used insecticides chlorpyrifos, malathion, imidacloprid, and spinosad. In the bioassays, insects were placed on leaf discs previously immersed for 10 s in the respective insecticide concentrations. For adults, the lowest concentration–mortality response was with chlorpyrifos (lethal concentration 50 [LC50] of 0.72 mg L-1 and lethal concentration 95 [LC95] of 1.02 mg L-1). The highest toxicity response was with malathion (LC95 of 0.05 mg L-1). The highest toxicity response with fourth-instar nymphs was observed with spinosad (LC50 of 0.007, LC95 of 0.021 mg L-1). The estimated LC50 and LC95 values for chlorpyrifos, malathion, and spinosad were lower than those documented worldwide for these insecticides in susceptible populations of D. citri.

The purpose of this work is to study the dynamic properties of solutions to special systems of ordinary differential equations, called fully connected networks of nonlinear oscillators. Methods. A new approach to obtain periodic regimes of the chimeric type in these systems is proposed, the essence of which is as follows. First, in the case of a symmetric network, a simpler problem is solved of the existence and stability of quasi-chimeric solutions — periodic regimes of two-cluster synchronization. For each of these modes, the set of oscillators falls into two disjoint classes. Within these classes, full synchronization of oscillations is observed, and every two oscillators from different classes oscillate asynchronously. Results. On the basis of the proposed methods, it is separately established that in the transition from a symmetric system to a general network, the periodic regimes of two-cluster synchronization can be transformed into chimeras. Conclusion. The main statements of the work concerning the emergence of chimeras were obtained analytically on the basis of an asymptotic study of a model example. For this example, the notion of a canonical chimera is introduced and the statement about the existence and stability of solutions of chimeric type in the case of asymmetry of the network is proved. All the results presented are extended to a continuous analogue of the corresponding system. The obtained results are illustrated numerically.
