Resumo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo trazer outros saberes que, de forma interdisciplinar, possam contribuir para o processo dialógico da Mediação.Para tanto, promove-se uma breve análise sobre a necessidade de reconhecimento do outro – alteridade -, valendo-se da obra de José Saramago, Ensaios sobre a Cegueira, em conexão com o desafio de iniciar o diálogo nas Mediações. Em seguida, ocupa-se sobre quem fala, o que se fala e de que lugar fala sobre o conflito, a partir dos saberes de Milton Santos, no que tange à identidade territorial, inclusive com foco na vulnerabilidade. Para lançar luz sobre o protagonismo no processo dialógico da Mediação, o conhecimento de Paulo Freire é resgatado. Finalmente, o saber cuidar, de Leonardo Boff, será apresentado como fio condutor de todo o processo dialógico em referência.Palavras-chave: Diálogo; Mediação; Alteridade; Protagonismo; Identidade Territorial. Abstract: This article aims to bring other knowledge that, in an interdisciplinary way, can contribute to the dialogical process of Mediation.

AVICULTURA NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE FORTALEZA: PRODUÇÃO, AGENTES E DINÂMICAS SOCIOESPACIAIS
Authors: Elias Denise , Leitão Felipe Rodrigues , Pequeno Renato
Published: August 2022

A economia da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF) está associada especialmente ao terciário. Apesar disso, a agropecuária está presente em todos os seus municípios, sendo a avicultura intensiva um destaque. O objetivo do artigo é apresentar as principais características da avicultura, especialmente seus agentes e dinâmicas socioespaciais. As hipóteses norteadoras do mesmo foram: a) a avicultura dessa região guarda importantes especificidades; b) as empresas avícolas se territorializam por vários dos seus municípios; c) a concentração econômica e a formação de corporações são processos em curso; d) a avicultura está entre os agentes de produção do espaço não só agrícola, mas também urbano-regional na RMF; e) a cidade de Fortaleza é o centro de gestão da avicultura cearense. A metodologia consistiu em pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa. Entre as conclusões, podem ser mencionadas: a RMF se constitui na principal área de produção avícola do Ceará, denotando um processo de especialização territorial produtiva à leste de Fortaleza; a avicultura se realiza sem configurar o sistema de integração sob o domínio de corporações frigoríficas e compõe os dois circuitos da economia urbana. Mostra-se, assim, basilar para a compreensão da economia política de Fortaleza e da urbanização de sua região metropolitana.
A PAISAGEM E USO DA BIODIVERSIDADE DA MATA ATLÂNTICA NO VALE DO ITAJAÍ-AÇU (SANTA CATARINA) NO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Dos Santos Gilberto Friedenreich , Garrote Martin Stabel
Published: August 2022

O século XIX marca a efetiva colonização do interior do Vale do Itajaí. O objetivo é abordar as diversas atividades de extrativismo (caça; pesca; vegetal e madeireiro) da Mata Atlântica, e o uso dessa biodiversidade no século XIX. Outra abordagem a ser considerada é descrever a paisagem natural, período histórico que os documentos históricos ainda retratam uma região com a presença de extensas florestas inexploradas. A metodologia consiste na consulta de fontes primárias do século XIX e início do século XX, e de fontes secundárias. As fontes primárias relatam a beleza da Mata Atlântica e a erosão das margens do rio Itajaí-açu (baixo vale) mesmo com a presença da cobertura florestal. O extrativismo madeireiro foi importante para a exportação. A biodiversidade também foi primordial para a subsistência, como a caça e os diversos elementos da floresta. A riqueza na variedade da flora representa uma diversidade nas propriedades das espécies, como dureza, resistência, facilidade de manuseio da madeira, e a composição química que condicionaram o uso para diversos fins. No século XIX encontraram abundância na biodiversidade, mas a sua sucessiva exploração conduziu à ameaça de extinção de espécies da fauna e flora, que motivaram a criação de unidades de conservação.
ARTE, PROTESTO E SOCIABILIZAÇÃO NA PRAÇA: REVELANDO PRÁTICAS DO POETRY SLAM NO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO CURITIBANO
Authors: Bortolozzo Gabriela , Rosaneli Alessandro Filla
Published: August 2022

O artigo busca desvelar a contribuição da Grounded Theory (Teoria Fundamentada) em dados de abordagem construtivista para a compreensão do fenômeno do poetry slam – campeonato de poesias faladas – que ocorria no espaço público de Curitiba (PR). Para isso, apresenta-se uma descrição local-internacional da organização dos poetry slams, sendo o Slam Contrataque e a Praça Garibaldi um dos palcos da disputa de poesias da capital paranaense. Foi por meio da observação e coleta de dados sobre o evento que se desvelou algumas das práticas dos slams de poesia da cidade. Deste modo, desenha-se uma progressiva análise espacial, que descreve a configuração dos poetry slams com foco no lugar, mostrando as possíveis contribuições da rara utilização das metodologias científicas da Teoria Fundamentada em dados nas pesquisas geográficas. Como resultado, chega-se à emergência de discussões latentes da sociedade urbana e contemporânea – como feminismo, racismo, violência, entre outras – tanto presente nas poesias declamadas nos slams, quanto na potência que o evento carrega aos espaços públicos ao serem ocupados pela presença diversificada de pessoas, vozes e versos. Em uma mistura de arte, protesto e sociabilização, emergem territorialidades, lugares de convivência e a democratização dos espaços em questão.

Authors: Šestáková Janka , Pultznerová Alžbeta , Mečár Martin
Published: August 2022

The results of the railway track quality assessment, obtained as part of the diagnostics during its operational phase, are used by the construction manager to plan repair activities. The aim of the railway infrastructure manager is to maintain the longest possible good condition of the structure, most often represented by a stable track geometry quality. In the case of low economic efficiency of quality assurance of the structure through the improvement of diagnosed parameters, according to the monitored factors in the diagnostics results it is possible to decide on the operability of the structure or its individual structural elements. The interval between repairs of determining geometrical parameters or representative quality indicators, shortened to technically, technologically, and economically inefficient time, indicates the end of life of the component or structural unit and it is necessary to plan and perform its replacement. In many cases, the structure continues to operate at the final phase of its life, for example, due to financial constraints. The infrastructure manager continues to carry out regular diagnostics and then plans and carries out routine maintenance activities to ensure a safe and reliable track. The article deals with the issue of interval diagnostics and related effects of corrections of the track geometry quality of the selected section of the regional railway line with a continuously repaired railway superstructure. Attention is paid to determining the degradation rate of track geometry quality in relation to achieving the limit values of quality indicators and the efficiency of corrective maintenance.

Supercritical CO2 extraction, chemical composition, and antioxidant effects of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. oleoresin
Authors: Qiu Yiyi , Ruan Hui
Published: August 2022

Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. was used to extract oleoresin through supercritical CO2 extraction technology. The extraction conditions were optimized using response surface methodology, and the chemical composition of C. tinctoria Nutt. oleoresin (CTO) was analyzed. Under the optimal conditions, the antioxidant activity of oleoresin was determined using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH˙) and 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS˙+) free radical scavenging assays. The optimal extraction conditions were a 27.5 MPa extraction pressure, a 45°C extraction temperature, and a 3 h extraction time. Under these extraction conditions, oleoresin yield was up to 3.163%. Compared to steam distillation extraction, the CTO extracted using supercritical CO2 had more abundant components. The EC50 of CTO for DPPH˙ and ABTS˙+ free radical scavengers was 1.54 and 1.07 mg/mL, respectively.

In this paper, we study polar foliations on simply connected symmetric spaces with non-negative curvature. We will prove that all such foliations are isoparametric as defined in [E. Heintze, X. Liu and C. Olmos,
Isoparametric submanifolds and a Chevalley-type restriction theorem,

We will also prove a splitting theorem which, when leaves are compact, reduces the study of such foliations to polar foliations in compact simply connected symmetric spaces. Moreover, we will show that solutions to mean curvature flow of regular leaves in such foliations are always ancient solutions. This generalizes part of the results in [X. Liu and C.-L. Terng,

Synchronizing a synchronverter to an unbalanced power grid using sequence component decomposition
Authors: Quintero-Duran Michell J. , Candelo-Becerra John E. , Posada Johnny
Published: August 2022

The synchronverter is a device used in some microgrids to perform self-synchronization and represent the behavior of a synchronous machine. However, the original control has been proposed for balanced networks, which is not present in all distribution systems. In unbalanced networks, the negative sequence may appear and generate a double frequency oscillation when delivering power or a non-symmetrical current from the inverter; thus, it must compensate unbalanced load. Therefore, this article shows that a synchronverter can be synchronized using the positive sequence even when there are voltage unbalances. The proposed strategy was simulated in the Simulink-Matlab© software, considering an unbalanced power grid with a single inverter and a load. The results confirm the effectiveness of this strategy, as the synchronverter can follow the grid frequency and the wave shape amplitude after starting the frequency droop control.

In the zone: Work at the intersection of trade and migration
Authors: Gordon Jennifer
Published: August 2022

Trade and immigration are generally described as separate dimensions of globalization. This Article challenges that story by focusing on settings where states and private actors are bringing the two together to achieve disparate economic and policy goals. In one of the two sets of cases analyzed here, governments in the Global South are seeking to increase trade through the use of migrant labor, attracting transnational firms to export manufacturing zones by importing lower-cost workers from other countries. In the other, policymakers in the Global North are seeking to decrease immigration through the use of trade by investing in export processing zones in migrant origin countries, on the theory that more trade, and the employment it creates, will deter onward migration to the Global North.

I use these contexts as the starting point for a reconsideration of core ideas in trade and migration policy and theory. In the first set of cases, governments are constructing a comparative advantage in labor from whole cloth, by bringing in workers from other countries on terms that restrict their freedom and subject them to exploitation at work. This challenges the usual description in the trade literature of labor cost as a natural phenomenon based on local wage and productivity levels, and thus a legitimate source of advantage in trade. Meanwhile, transnational firms that locate production in such export processing zones sidestep the ordinary choice between benefiting from global wage differentials by moving work overseas or by hiring migrant workers. Instead, they do both simultaneously, a strategy I term “double labor arbitrage.” I explore the ways in which the construction of comparative advantage and double labor arbitrage operate together to extract additional value from workers for the benefit of states and corporations. With regard to the second set of cases, I draw on recent empirical economic scholarship to challenge the argument that more trade will decrease emigration. More profoundly, I question the normative justification for these proposals, given the treatment of workers in the zones. Although proposed as a “solution” to immigration, I argue that they are much more likely to deepen the problems that drive it.

Immigration and trade law do not bar any of the developments I analyze here. The question is whether they should. This Article—the first step in a larger project—launches that inquiry.
Blas as sites for the meso-level dynamics of institutionalization: A cross-sectoral comparison
Authors: Kurlander Yahel , Cohen Avinoam
Published: August 2022

In this Article we seek to shift the focus from the texts of bilateral labor agreements (BLAs) to the context of their emergence and materialization. We argue that to study BLAs and evaluate their consequences and potential relevance, they must be read from the perspective of processes of institutionalization that shape the paths of different agreements. In Israel, a cross-sectoral comparison of the agricultural and construction sectors reveals that different agreements did not follow the same path and institutionalization process. The Israel-Thailand agreements for the agricultural sector and the agreements regulating migration to the construction sector did not generate similar dynamics of institutionalization. In both sectors, BLAs transformed recruitment practices and led to a sharp decrease of illicit migration costs extracted in the process. Yet due to differences in the structure of the sectors and the expected skill level of workers, significant variations remain, most notably in the effect of BLAs on the permit and quota system and in the rise of paths to import labor outside BLAs. Based on this cross-sectoral comparison, we offer in this Article a grounded analytical perspective for examining and evaluating BLAs in context. In discussing our suggestions, we will project our analysis to the more recent agreement covering the live-in care sector that is currently the largest employing sector of guest-workers in Israel.
Bilateral agreements, precarious work, and the vulnerability of migrant workers in Israel
Authors: Kushnirovich Nonna , Raijman Rebeca
Published: August 2022

We examine the short-term and long-term impact of bilateral agreements on migrant workers’ vulnerability during their employment in Israel. To do so, we developed the Vulnerability Index of Migrant Workers based on five dimensions: poor working conditions, poor living conditions, poor safety conditions, low wages, and dependence on migration costs.

We focus on migrant workers arriving in Israel from two different countries (China and Thailand), employed in two different sectors of the economy (construction and agriculture, respectively). Data was gathered through a survey conducted among workers arriving from both countries before and after the implementation of the bilateral agreements.

The study revealed that after the implementation of bilateral agreements, the working, living and safety conditions of migrant workers remained poor or even worsened. For Thai workers, there was a slight improvement in the working and living conditions in the short term after the bilateral agreement, but they worsened in the long run. The total Index of Vulnerability of both groups showed improvement due to the dramatic decrease in dependence on migration costs, despite the deterioration in some working and living conditions and the reduction in migrant workers’ relative wages.

Lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have sparked considerable interest in the optoelectronics research community and gained recognition in recent years due to their practical use in solar energy. The primary obstacles in producing PSCs are stability and toxicity due to the immersion of organic-cation and lead in perovskite material. This study presents an electrical simulation of a caesium–indium-based lead-free hybrid PSC using SCAPS-1D software. Spiro-MeOTAD is a typical hole transport material (HTM) used in PSC, although it has not always been suggested because of its high design cost and stability constraints. This study aims to evaluate the performance of lead-free double perovskite material as an absorber layer along with different hole transport materials (HTM). We discovered that the lead-free double perovskite combined with graphene-oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) produces the best results. Furthermore, the light-harvesting layer and HTM layer has optimized via thickness, defects, doping concentration, and temperature. The improved PSC structure achieves power conversion efficiency (PCE) of more than 24%, and the results of the optimized PSC have compared to the results of the experimentally implemented PSC. This work also used C–V measurements on the optimized structure to determine the device contact potential and doping concentration. The optimized results suggest a feasible future route for creating lead-free PSC with high productivity and free from stability or toxicity issues.
Back and forth? The role of labour market resources and segments for work-related exits from and returns to welfare benefit receipt in Germany
Authors: Lietzmann Torsten , Hohmeyer Katrin
Published: August 2022

The German economy has witnessed a stable upswing in the last decade. At the same time, receipt of welfare benefits did not decline substantially. In a dualised labour market and a welfare system under an activation paradigm (Unemployment Benefit II), many (former) welfare recipients face instable and lowpaid employment opportunities. Hence, returns to benefit receipt are rather common. Using administrative data and hazard rate models, we study the determinants of stable exits from welfare to employment focussing on the labour market segment after exit. Employment-related exits are slightly more common and significantly more stable than other exits. Labour market resources are associated with quicker employment-related exits, but not always with longer self-sufficiency. The stability of exits is also related to the economic sector and the type of employment. The results indicate that in addition to encouraging leaving welfare receipt, measures promoting good and sustainable employment are needed.
New finds of naked amoebae

Findings of naked amoebae in various habitats of Ukraine and other territories are presented. Saccamoeba sp., Thecamoeba similis (Greeff, 1891) Lepşi, 1960, Vexillifera bacillipedes Page, 1969, Vannella lata Page, 1988, Acanthamoeba sp., Willaertia magna De Jonckheere, Dive, Pussard & Vickerman, 1984 were identified based on morphological data and molecular genetic research methods. All these species of amoebae are characterized according to our own observations and measurements and the published data. The amoebae we found belong to three classes (Tubulinea, Discosea, Heterolobosea), six orders (Euamoebida, Thecamoebida, Dactylopodida, Vannellida, Centramoebida, Schizopyrenida), six families (Hartmannellidae, Thecamoebidae, Vexilliferidae, Vannellidae, Acanthamoebidae, Vahlkampﬁidae) and six genera (Saccamoeba, Thecamoeba, Vexillifera, Vannella, Acanthamoeba, Willaertia). W. magna was the least common in water bodies of different regions of Ukraine; Saccamoeba sp., V. bacillipedes in the studied water bodies are either uncommon species or occupy the middle position in terms of frequency of occurrence In the water bodies of Ukraine T. similis, V. lata, Acanthamoeba sp. are both the least common and the most common species, or occupy the middle position in terms of frequency of occurrence. The following ecological groups of naked amoebae have been identified in relation to temperature: eurythermal, psychrophilic stenothermal, thermophilic stenothermal. In relation to the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water: euryoxidic and stenooxidic. Three species of amoebae can withstand either a wide range of values of organic substances dissolved in water, or belong to stenobiont species. The recorded amoebae belong to monotactic (Saccamoeba sp.), striate (T. similis), dactylopodial (V. bacillipedes), fan-shaped (V. lata), acanthopodial (Acanthamoeba sp.) and eruptive (W. magna) morphotypes.

The study of the properties of disturbed soils and rocks makes it possible to establish the parameters of the natural fertility of the studied substrates, to detect limiting factors, and to determine a set of restoration measures. The tested overburden rocks with the largest stratigraphic share of the open-pit quarries of the Nikopol manganese and Kerch iron ore deposits were loamy-like loess (Quaternary) and grey-green clay (Neogene). There is a certain parametric relationship between texture, density, porosity, the structural and physical state of different models of artificial reclaimed profiles. The composition and properties of rocks of edaphic structures of technosoils differ according to zonal natural and climatic conditions of the subzones of the Ukrainian Steppe. Loess-like loam and grey-green clay of the Kerch iron ore deposit are distinguished by a higher bulk density, lower porosity, and wilting moisture compared to samples from the Nikopol manganese ore basin. The use of the rotor complex leads to mechanical destruction and an increase in the content of small particles of rocks. Self-compacting processes occur to a large extent in multilayer structures. This pattern is observed at the boundary of the backfill differentiated in texture layers of technosoils. This indicates the existence of a barrier that prevents the relationship of edaphic properties between substrata stratums. Optimal ratio of clay minerals provides a rather high capacity of grey-green clay for water absorption. The model of technosoil composed of grey-green clay differs in a larger number of water-resistant micro-aggregates. The best conditions for land reclamation are connected with including grey-green clay in two- and three-layer constructions of technosoils, providing a waterproofing effect.
Carbonate and siliceous rock horizons at the boundary of Eocene and Oligocene deposits in the Ukrainian Carpathians as geotourism sites

Published: August 2022

The outcrops of carbonate and siliceous rock horizons at the boundary of Eocene and Oligocene deposits in the Ukrainian Carpathians represent potential sites for geotourism. They are located in the northern part of the Skyba zone, in settlements (Boryslav, Verkhne Synyovydne, Maydan, Skole) that can be reached by various vehicles. The sites are of interest not only due to the possibility to be shown for tourists in situbut also due to the possibility to tell them about sedimentological history of the Carpathians, the whole Tethys basin and theWorld Ocean being the reason fortheir formation. The article considers global and regional events at the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, exemplified by deposits of the Sheshory horizon and lower siliceous horizon of the Lower Menilite Sub-Formation as well as sedimentologicaland lithogenetic aspects of chertsorigin.In sections of the Carpathian flysch the clay-calcareous and siliceous- clay rocks of the Sheshory (Eocene) and Rybnyk (Oligocene) horizons are overlaid by a pack of carbon-bearing cherts(mainly phthanites) of the Menilite Formationlower siliceous horizon. This was fixed as the «Eocene final event» (climatic cooling, mass extinction of some groups of marine organisms, including certain types of warm-water foraminifera), and had a global significance. At that time at the regional scale separation of the Paratethys Sea from the Tethys Ocean as well as sharp change in biogenic sedimentation (from carbonate to siliceous) in the Carpathian sedimentary basin occurred.At the Eocene and Oligocene boundary and then during the Oligocene the World Ocean demonstrated a series of events that ultimately led to the transformation of a global system of ocean waters circulation from the Cretaceous-Eocene, marked with uniformly warm climate throughout the planet, to contemporary with more contrast climate and distinct climatic zones.The change of warm-water plankton organisms for those who areaccustomed to live in cold seas can be illustrated by the results of study of calcareous and siliceous rocks of the Eocene-Oligocene deposits in the Ukrainian Carpathians.The Sheshory horizon marls are composed of cryptocrystalline clay- carbonate matter with numerous remains of warm-water forms of planctonic foraminifera from a group of globigerina (Globigerinida) sized up to 0.1 mm. The number and size of these organisms significantly reduced in the rocks of Rybnyk horizon. No Their traces are notfound in siliceous formations.Various researchers have justified biogenic, volcanogenic, or chemogenic origin of these cherts. Authors of the article believe that these rocks are the product of sedimentation of biogenic siliceous deposits and their post-sedimentary transformation.

Published: August 2022

Sylvilagus andinus (Thomas, 1897) is a highland lagomorph from the Ecuadorean Paramos. Its distribution was tentatively believed to extend to northwestern Peru on the basis of ecological niche modeling and the inclusion of the Peruvian S. capsalis Thomas, 1913 as a synonym. Here, we confirm the occurrence of S. andinus in Peru by a morphological examination of seven new records from northwestern Peru and one new record from Ancash department in central Peru.

This research shows that environmental problems in community development are still not fully resolved. For the Citarum River case, the government has already implemented the Harum Citarum Program. However, the local community itself determines whether or not the watershed is maintained. For this reason, educational and communication efforts from various parties concerned about this problem are necessary. Included in this are the clergy and religious communication. This is because the local community is religious. This sociological study explores public opinion on raising awareness of environmental literacy with a religious approach.

This article aims to describe the role of Islamic community organizations in Indonesia's development. The method used in this paper is descriptive analysis. The discussion results show that Islamic organizations played a role in the struggle for independence in the cases of the Nahdlatul Ulama Jihad Resolution and the Muhammadiyah Jihad Mandate. The role of post-independence until now has been Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Boarding School Education and Muhammadiyah Formal Education. Islamic organizations need to play an active role in Indonesia's development in terms of its role as a liaison between people's aspirations and the government. Also that Islamic organizations must increase their role in deradicalization programs to prevent terrorist acts and radicalism.

The employed A. niger enzyme was produced from corn bagasse waste material, which served as the only source of carbon. P. angolensis seeds were dried, pulverized and subsequently sieved into two different particle sizes of 1.0 mm and 1.4 mm. This was followed by enzyme pretreatment prior to fat extraction. Results demonstrated that while the peak enzyme activity (121.036 U/mL) occurred on day 4 of fermentation, the maximum cellulase activity could be achieved at 60% saturation of ammonium sulfate purification. Compared with the results of water-treated and untreated seed samples, the fat yield, free fatty acid and iodine values of the enzyme-treated seed samples were considerably higher (P < 0.05). As peroxide value was less in the enzyme-assisted extracted fat, which pointed to a good-quality oil, the decreased refractive index suggested peak unsaturation. Despite considerable differences (P < 0.05) in refractive indices, fat’s specific gravity matched (P > 0.05) when enzyme-treated, water-treated and untreated samples were compared. On the whole, size reduction of P. angolensis seeds pretreated with A. niger cellulase enzyme to improve both fat quality and yield implied it as a useful inventory for confectionary as well as cosmetic industries.

Introducción: la familia es el escenario en el que los adolescentes consumidores construyen o destruyen aspectos relacionados a su personalidad, esta afirmación tiene que ver con elementos que hacen parte de la dinámica cotidiana como: la comunicación familiar, los procesos de crianza y las estrategias de prevención y riesgo que generan en su práctica de vida. El objetivo que fundamenta este artículo de reflexión es hacer una apuesta frente a los factores protectores a nivel familiar que favorecen la mitigación del riesgo de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en la adolescencia. La metodología es cualitativa con enfoque metodológico hermenéutico en clave hacia la reflexión que permita a las familias y los adolescentes encontrar puntos comunes en los procesos de interacción y disminuir factores de riesgo. Se desarrolla la temática del consumo en torno al significado de la familia y sus prácticas de prevención para construir un lugar común, que una, vincule y motive a la participación afectiva de cada integrante; la prevención frente a las dificultades surge tras la reflexividad y el tejido vincular. Como resultado principal se destaca el lugar de la familia y los procesos psicoeducativos inherentes al mundo parental y marental aunado al apoyo de las demás redes de proximales. Como conclusión de este ejercicio escritural reflexivo se encuentra que la comunicación, las prácticas de crianza en el tejido familiar para la reconstrucción y construcción de adolescentes libres de consumo, con más procesos de democratización de las relaciones familiares se convierten en insumo fundamental para el trabajo con las familias.

A study was carried out in sweet corn to evaluate seven inbred lines, three checks and 42 experimental hybrids during Kharif 2019. This study revealed a significant difference among the genotypes for traits studied indicating the presence of abundant genetic variability. The phenotypic co-efficient of variation ranged from 4.57 (DFS) to 36.41 (GEWH) while the genotypic co-efficient of variation ranged from 3.72 (DFT) to 25.35 (GEWH). Green ear yield without husk (25.35, 36.41); green fodder weight (22.47, 29.20) and green ear yield (24.63, 33.31) recorded high PCV and GCV values. The traits plant height (0.73), ear girth (0.61) and TLB (0.69) displayed high heritability values and none of the traits showed low heritability. Genetic advance over mean ranged from 5.71 (DFT) to 37.53 (GEY). High genetic advance over mean was observed for the traits green ear weight without husk, and green fodder weight. Moderate heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for the traits green ear weight without husk, green fodder weight and green ear yield. Thus, traits like green ear yield, green ear weight without husk, green fodder weight, ear length and the number of kernels per row should be prioritized while selecting sweet corn genotypes for increased yield as they have a moderate to low range of genotypic co-efficient of variation, phenotypic co-efficient of variation, heritability, and genetic advance over mean.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association between health literacy and the adherence to the pharmacological treatment of Brazilians with arterial hypertension. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 234 participants who responded an on-line sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire, in addition to evaluation of health literacy and of the adherence to their pharmacological treatment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and difference and correlation tests. Results: People with post-graduation, who were actively working and did not smoke, had better health literacy results. Elders and those who were retired or lived on government subsidies adhered better to the medication treatment. There was a correlation between the numerical dimension (rs=0.189; p=0.004) and the global health literacy result (r2=0.170; p=0.009) with the adherence. Conclusions: A better numerical and global understanding of health literacy was associated with better adherence to arterial hypertension medication treatment.

Abstract Quality pecan rootstocks that ensure genetic and phytosanitary safety, besides having good vegetative development, are extremely important to implant a successful orchard. Rootstocks with vigorous radicular systems affect plant growth. This study aimed at evaluating rootstock growth as the result of root pruning and the use of different containers to grow pecan rootstocks in an organic system. The experiment was conducted with “Barton” rootstocks in the experimental area at the Embrapa Clima Temperado in Pelotas, RS, Brazil, in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Rootstocks were evaluated in plastic bags and tubes and in the soil, associated with root pruning. Evaluation 280 and 480 days after transplant comprised the following: height of the aerial part, length of primary and secondary radicular systems, stem diameter, leaf area, dry mass of the aerial part, dry mass of the radicular system, dry mass of secondary roots and the Dickson Quality Index. The use of plastic bags to produce pecan rootstocks was found to coil roots at the bottom of the container. Neither containers nor root pruning affected stem diameter, an important parameter to carry out grafting. Pecan rootstocks with a non-pruned radicular system grown in plastic bags developed large main root and aerial part. Pruning of pecan radicular systems in containers and in the soil leads to increase in the number of main roots but decreases root length.

ABSTRACT Introduction: retrograde intrarenal surgery (CRIR) is an evolving tool. Its learning curve is not well established, despite the common use of flexible ureteroscopes today. Our aim is to estimate the number of procedures needed for one to perform RIRS consistently. Material and Methods: a urology resident had his first 80 RIRS for nephrolithiasis analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The procedures were divided into 4 groups containing 20 surgeries each (I to IV), according to their order, for comparison. Results: there was no difference in stone sizes between groups. All qualitative variables varied significantly between groups (p<0.001), except between III and IV. In the quantitative analysis, there was a difference between groups I and IV in time for double-J catheter placement (p=0.012). There was an increasing difference in sheath placement time (p<0.001) and in total operative time (p=0.004). The time fot stone treatment (p=0.011) was significant only between groups I, II and III. There was difference in total sheath time only between groups I and III (p=0.023). Stone free status did not change between groups. Discussion: the differences between the qualitative and quantitative variables show the relation between number of surgeries performed and proficiency in the procedure. Intergroup comparisons show sequential optimization of parameters. Conclusions: we found that 60 is a reasonable number of surgeries to be performed in order to reach the plateau of RIRSs learning curve.

RESUMO Introdução: o tratamento do câncer de adrenal benigno (hormonalmente ativo ou não funcional) e maligno inclui a adrenalectomia. A experiência dos cirurgiões e a cirurgia realizada por cirurgiões de alto volume foram associadas a menos complicações e menor custo. O objetivo do estudo foi descrever e comparar o número de cirurgias, a taxa de mortalidade e o tempo de internação para adrenalectomias realizadas entre 2008 e 2019 na rede pública de saúde de São Paulo. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo ecológico. Os dados foram coletados da Plataforma TabNet do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Os hospitais foram divididos em três subgrupos de acordo com o volume cirúrgico e hospitais com e sem programa de residência médica em Urologia. Os resultados foram comparados entre os grupos. Resultados: no período estudado, 943 adrenalectomias foram realizadas em São Paulo. As taxas de mortalidade durante a internação de acordo com o volume cirúrgico hospitalar foram: não foram relatados óbitos em hospitais de baixo volume; 0,015% em hospitais de volume intermediário e 0,004% em alto volume. O tempo médio de permanência na UTI foi de 1,03 dias nos hospitais de baixo volume; 2,8 nos de médio volume e 1,12 nos de alto volume (análise entre centros de médio e alto volume com significância estatística, p=0,016). Conclusão: as taxas de mortalidade foram muito baixas em todos os grupos. A permanência na UTI foi menor em centros de alto volume do que em centros de volume intermediário.
