Psikiyatri Kliniğinde Yatan Hastaların Algıladıkları Konfor Düzeyi ve Etkileyen Faktörler
Authors: GÜLEŞEN Gülten , ÜSTÜN Besti
Published: October 2020

Giriş: Konfor, etkin bakımın pozitif bir sonucu olup doğrudan hemşirelik bilimi ile ilişkilidir. Psikiyatri kliniğinde tedavi gören hastaların konfor düzeyinin bilinmesi, bireylerin gereksinimlerinin ne düzeyde karşılandığının belirlenip verilen bakımın etkinliğinin ölçülmesini sağlayacaktır. Amaç: Bu çalışma, bir hastanenin psikiyatri kliniğinde yatan hastaların algıladıkları konfor düzeyini ve konfor düzeylerini etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma, İstanbul’da hizmet veren bir vakıf hastanesinin psikiyatri kliniklerinde yatan 106 hasta ile yapılmıştır. Veriler; Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Genel Konfor Ölçeği (GKÖ) ile elde edilmiş olup sayı, yüzde, ortalama, t-testi, ANOVA ve Tukey testleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların genel konfor düzeylerinin 1-4 puan arasında değerlendirildiği çalışmada, genel konfor düzey puan ortalamasının 2.67 ± 15 olduğu; GKÖ toplam puanı üzerinden incelendiğinde en yüksek puanın 2.84 ± 32 ile rahatlama düzeyinde, en düşük puanın 2.48 ± 31 ile ferahlama düzeyinde olduğu saptanmıştır. Alt boyut puanları incelendiğinde, en yüksek puanı 3.31 ± 47 ile sosyokültürel boyuttaki rahatlama düzeyinde; en düşük puanın 2.05 ± 45 ile fiziksel boyuttaki ferahlama düzeyinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hastaların yatış sürelerine göre GKÖ puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu saptanmıştır. Yatış süresi 11-15 gün arasında olan hastaların GKÖ puanları diğer yatış sürelerine göre yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda çalışmanın yapıldığı kurumda, hastaların konfor düzeylerinin ortanın üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiş, psikiyatri kliniklerinde yatan hastaların konfor düzeyinin belirli aralıklarla değerlendirilmesi ve bu düzeyin yükseltilmesi için uygun girişimlerin yapılması önerilmiştir.
As políticas de esporte do Acre: análise dos planos plurianuais de governo (2000 a 2019)
Authors: Elicker Eliane , Reis Nadson Santana , Pereira Cláudia Catarino , Mascarenhas Fernando
Published: October 2020

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a configuração e abrangência das políticas de Esporte do Estado do Acre no que diz respeito à sua natureza e ao tipo dos direitos e benefícios previstos e/ou implementados. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental, tendo como base cinco Planos Plurianuais (PPAs) que compreendem o período de 2000 a 2019, período em que o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) esteve à frente do governo estadual. Para isso, utilizou-se o modelo de análise de políticas públicas proposto por Boschetti (2009). As considerações indicam a ausência de continuidade nas políticas de esporte. Ademais, observou-se que de 2000 a 2015 o principal foco das políticas foi a ampliação de espaços, havendo uma lacuna no que diz respeito a ações voltadas à prática do esporte como atividade-fim, principalmente no PPA 2000-2003. No que diz respeito ao esporte como direito, este esteve mais concretamente explícito no último PPA 2016-2019. O caráter universal no acesso às políticas de esporte esteve presente em alguns momentos, embora articulado a um projeto neoliberal que de certa forma utilizou o esporte para desenvolver e dinamizar a economia.
حماية المدنيين أثناء النزاعات المسلحة الدولية في القانون الدولي الإنساني والشرائع السماوية "دراسة مقارنة"
Authors: Alwheebe Etesam Alabd Saleeh
Published: October 2020

تهدف الدراسة إلى بيّان حماية المدنيين أثناء النزاعات المسلحة الدولية في كلاً من القانون الدولي الإنساني والشرائع السماوية، والتأكيد على أن فكرة القانون الإنساني وجدت في الشرائع السماوية، وعلى الخصوص الشريعة الإسلامية، وأكدت أيضاً على مدى تأثر قواعد القانون الدولي الإنساني بالمبادئ الأساسية والقواعد العامة والإنسانية والأخلاقية والأدبية في الشريعة الإسلامية، والتقاء القانون الدولي الإنساني مع الشريعة الإسلامية في حماية المدنيين. وبيّنت الدراسة كذلك أن الشريعة الإسلامية أكدت وبوضوح لا لبس فيه، وجوب حصر أعمال القتال كلها في ميدان المعركة ضد المقاتلين الأعداء وحدهم وحظر استهداف المدنيين وغير المقاتلين عمداً أثناء سير العمليات القتالية. فطبقت بذلك الشريعة الإسلامية قواعد القانون الدولي الإنساني منذ قرون عديدة فخاطبت المجتمع المسلم بكل فئاته، وأوجبت عليهم العقاب الدنيوي والآخروي قبل أن يخاطبه القانون الدولي بأكثر من أربعة عشر قرناً من الزمان. فنهت عن مقاتلة من لا يُقاتل، وكذلك عدم مقاتلة من ألقى السلاح، وقتل الرهبان ورجال الدين وهدم الصوامع والبيع ومنعت التخريب بكل صوره.

Şîa ve Ehl-i Sünnet’e Göre İmâmet (Kummî ve İbn Kesîr Tefsirleri Çerçevesinde)
Authors: NURİYEV Tehran
Published: October 2020

Öz: Son Peygamber Muhammed (s.a.v)’in hayatta iken yerine hiçbir kimseyi halife tayin etmemesi sebebiyle vefatından kısa bir müddet sonra imamet meselesi Müslümanlar arasında ihtilaf konusu olmuştur. Her ne kadar ilk üç halife devrinde bu mesele sulh yoluyla halledilmişse de halifenin kim olacağı mevzuu dördüncü halife Ali (r.a) zamanında Müslümanlar arasında savaşa ve parçalanmalara neden olmuştur. O dönemde Müslümanlardan bir grup, Hz. Peygamberin kendisinden sonra yerine bir idareci bırakmadığı iddiasını kabul etmemiş, imametin Ali b. Ebî Tâlib’in ve onun evlatlarının hakkı olduğunu savunmuştur. “Şiatu Ali” adıyla anılan bu gruba daha sonraki yıllarda sadece “Şia” denmiştir. İmamet mevzuu, Şia’yı diğer Müslüman grup olan Ehl-i Sünnet’ten ayıran en önemli meseledir. Onlara göre İmamet “Üsulu’d-Din”den (dinin temel şartı) olduğu için bu konuya oldukça önem vermiş ve görüşlerini desteklemek için ayet ve hadislerden deliller getirmişlerdir. Biz bu çalışmamızda, Şia’nın Ali b. Ebî Tâlib’in İmametiyle ilgili olduğunu iddia ettikleri ayetleri ele alacak, Şia’nın ve Ehl-i Sünnet’in iki büyük müfessiri Kummî (ö. 307/919) ve İbn Kesîr’in (ö. 774/1373) tefsirleri çerçevesinde değerlendirmeye çalışacağız.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND LOYALTY: A STUDY OF INTERRELATIONSHIPS
AND EFFECTS IN NIGERIAN DOMESTIC AIRLINE INDUSTRY
Authors: Ganiyu Rahim A.
Published: October 2020

The debate concerning the interrelationships and effects between customer satisfaction and loyalty has been tossed back and forth, without a consensus opinion. This study examines the linkages between customer satisfaction and loyalty in Nigerian domestic airline industry. The study adopted correlation research design to elicit information via questionnaire from 600 domestic air passengers drawn through convenience sampling technique. The data obtained from the respondents were analysed with Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression, and One-way analysis of variance. Based on 383 completed data, the results provide support for the association and influence of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. The study also found out that frequent air travelers displayed more loyalty tendency towards airline carriers compared to non-frequent air passengers. On the basis of aforementioned findings, the study concludes that customer satisfaction is extremely important in building and enhancing customer loyalty. Therefore, airline carriers should implement strategies that will guarantee long-term relationship with air travellers by offering service quality that will meet and exceeds their expectations and by extension customer satisfaction.
USING WAVELETS IN ECONOMICS. AN APPLICATION ON THE ANALYSIS OF WAGE-PRICE RELATION
Authors: Caus Vasile-Aurel , Badulescu Daniel , Gherman Mircea Cristian
Published: October 2020

In the last decades, more and more approaches of economic issues have used mathematical tools, and among the most recent ones, spectral and wavelet methods are to be distinguished. If in the case of spectral analysis the approaches and results are sufficiently clear, while the use of wavelet decomposition, especially in the analysis of time series, is not fully valorized. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize how these methods are useful for time series analysis. After theoretical considerations on Fourier transforms versus wavelet transforms, we have presented the methodology we have used and the results obtained by using wavelets in the analysis of wage-price relation, based on some empirical data. The data we have used is concerning the Romanian economy - the inflation and the average nominal wage denominated in US dollars, between January 1991 and May 2016, highlighting that the relation between nominal salary and prices can be revealed more accurately by use of wavelets

Published: October 2020

In this article the results of an extensive research on the credit risk of Icelandic municipalities are presented. The methodology named after Altman was applied and the credit risk of Icelandic municipalities was assessed according to his model. In addition the relationship between financial health and the size of municipalities was examined. Finally a small study was conducted where the financial health of municipalities around the capital area was different from other. The results are that this methodology is useful when evaluating the credit risk of Icelandic municipalities. The findings indicate that Icelandic municipalities have been able to continue functioning financially even though being very weak financially. Smaller municipalities were on average much financially stronger than the larger ones. But there was not a statistical significant difference in the financial strength of municipalities around the capital to other municipalities around the country.
DETERMINANTS OF THE PERCEIVED IMAGE OF NIGERIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY
Authors: Odia Edith Onowe , Agbonifoh Barnabas Aigbojie
Published: October 2020

The image of a country’s tourism has become a strong source of economic and social power for the nation’s survival hence the need for its constant measure. This study examines the perceived image of the Nigerian Tourism Industry (NTI) among foreign tourists and residents in Nigeria and the demographic variables that influence perception of the industry. A convenience sampling method was adopted to select total 150 respondents. A questionnaire with twelve key evaluative factors was used in measuring the image of NTI. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), T-Test for equality of means and multiple regression techniques were applied in the analysis of data. The results show that the mean index obtained for the perception of the tourism industry was fairly positive. NTI was perceived to be most reputable in the areas of hospitality under culture and heritage dimension and weakest in political stability under infrastructure dimension. Respondents’ demographic characteristics were not significant in explaining the overall perception of NTI. In the circumstance, we recommend that, to effectively reposition the NTI in the international arena, the Nigerian government needs to be more diligent in conducting its elections in order to ensure fairness and stability. The friendliness of the Nigerian people could be used to mitigate the negative effects of insecurity in the country. Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and friendly weather should be emphasized in the promotion of NTI.

Authors: Perdana Daud , Hamdi  , Apriani Winda
Published: October 2020

ABSTRAK

 

Kabupaten Sambas merupakan salah satu sentra utama produksi padi di Kalimantan Barat. Kabupaten ini berada di wilayah perbatasan antara Indonesia dan Malaysia. Desa Tebas Sungai merupakan satu diantara sentra padi yang pernah gagal panen diakibatkan serangan tikus pertanian pada bulan Juli 2016. Mitra kegiatan Penerapan Penerapan Teknologi Tepat Guna kepada Masyarakat ini adalah Kelompok Tani Candra Mekar dan Sari Melati Kencana yang berada di Desa Tebas Sungai Kecamatan Tebas Kabupaten Sambas.  Kelompok ini relatif tertinggal dibanding kelompok tani lainnya di kecamatan disebabkan kurangnya bantuan di bidang pertanian. Persoalan yang dihadapi mitra secara umum adalah serangan hama tikus, serangan hama wereng coklat, penggerek batang, lembing batu, tungro, blas, dan hawar, kurang jumlah dan efektifnya penggunaan mesin perontok padi, ketersediaan pupuk subsidi yang sangat terbatas, dan irigasi belum bisa dilakukan dengan baik akibat terbatasnya pompa. Solusi yang disepakati dari permasalahan prioritas mitra adalah pengendalian tikus pertanian, pengendalian hama serangga menggunakan perangkap serangga (light trap), serta pembuatan dan pengelolaan mesin perontok padi untuk penanganan pasca panen.

Target luaran kegiatan ini antara lain: 1) Program pengendalian tikus pertanian menghasilkan luaran alat perangkap tikus pertanian berjumlah 10 set, terselesaikan 10 set; 2) Program pengendalian hama serangga menggunakan perangkap serangga menghasilkan luaran 10 set, sudah tercapai 10 set; dan 3) Program pembuatan dan pengelolaan mesin perontok padi menghasilkan luaran mesin perontok padi sebanyak 2 unit, terealisasi 2 unit; 4) Publikasi pada jurnal ber-ISSN DIPAMAS; dan 5) Publikasi kegiatan pada media massa (online 1 kali terealisasi 4 kali, CSMTV 1 kali sudah terealisasi dan telah diupload pula di youtube.com, dan surat kabar/media massa realisasi 2 kali versi cetak).

Kegiatan PPTTG ini melalui tahapan-tahapan: 1) Program pengendalian tikus pertanian; 2) Program pengendalian hama serangga; dan 3) Program pembuatan dan pengelolaan mesin perontok padi.

Secara ekonomi, adanya penerapan teknologi melalui PPTTG akan mencegah kerugian dalam usahatani padi (akibat serangan tikus sawah), mengefektifkan pencegahan serangan hama (melalui perangkap hama/light trap), dan mengefisienkan biaya pasca panen padi (dengan alat perontok padi). Secara keseluruhan dampak ekonominya dapat menyebabkan peningkatan pendapatan petani padi sawah sehingga diharapkan mampu mensejahterakan ekonomi masyarakat tani. Secara sosial, dampak yang didapat dari penerapan teknologi adalah adanya ketenteraman di masyarakat karena adanya alat yang mencegah terjadinya kerugian dalam pengusahaan budidaya tanaman padi, serangan hama maupun penyakit yang dibawa oleh hama, dan tidak lagi terjadi rebutan antrian terhadap mesin perontok padi karena telah ada alat yang diberikan kepada kelompok.

Published: October 2020

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation between biological subtype of breast cancer and the risk of its metastasis to a sentinel lymph node.

Material and methods

In the analysed group there were 1018 women with breast cancer, clinically node negative, untreated previously. Luminal A subtype was recognised in 57% of patients. A positive sentinel lymph node was detected in 26.5% of women.

Results

In the multivariate analysis only age and tumour size proved to be significant for the entire group, respectively: OR = 0.59, p = 0.0004; OR = 1.96; p < 0.0001. For Luminal A subtype values were OR = 0.51, p = 0.0007; OR = 1.78, p = 0.0045, respectively. For Luminal B patients, in women over 61 years, the risk of sentinel node metastasis probability decreases by 67% and for tumours over 21 mm the probability of positive sentinel node metastasis increases by 117%.

Conclusions

According to our analysis luminal breast cancers are most numerous subtypes, and in these cases we expect more frequent instances of metastasis to a sentinel node. Following the most updated and modern procedures of breast cancer patients’ treatment a procedure of sentinel lymph node biopsy is used, replacing an aggressive treatment in the axilla region. In regards to our analysis we should be more vigilant in estimation of regional lymph nodes in luminal patients under sixty with high grade tumours and the tumour diameter more than 20 mm.

Currently, just a few major parameters are used for cardiovascular (CV) risk quantification to identify many of the high-risk subjects; however, they leave a lot of them with an underestimated level of CV risk which does not reflect the reality. The submitted study design of the Kosice Selective Coronarography Multiple Risk (KSC MR) Study will use computer analysis of coronary angiography results of admitted patients along with broad patients’ characteristics based on questionnaires, physical findings, laboratory and many other examinations. Obtained data will undergo machine learning protocols with the aim of developing algorithms which will include all available parameters and accurately calculate the probability of coronary artery disease. The KSC MR study results, if positive, could establish a base for development of proper software for revealing high-risk patients, as well as patients with suggested positive coronary angiography findings, based on the principles of personalised medicine.

Authors: Kazmierak Weronika , Korolczuk Agnieszka , Kurzepa Jacek , Czechowska Grażyna , Boguszewska-Czubara Anna , Madro Agnieszka
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a continuing, inflammatory process of the pancreas, characterised by irreversible morphological changes. The identification of pancreatic stellate cells resulted in the development of research on the pathogenesis of CP. Erythropoietin (Epo) regulates the interaction between apoptosis and inflammation of the brain, kidney, and heart muscle. Erythropoietin receptors were also found in the pancreas, in particular on the islet cells. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of Epo on fibrosis and apoptosis in experimental CP.

Material and methods

The experiments were performed on 48 male Wistar rats (250–350 g). The animals were divided into six equal groups (I – control, II – chronic cerulein – induced pancreatitis, III – 1 ml of Epo sc, IV – 0.5 ml of Epo sc, V – CP treated with 1 ml Epo, VI – CP treated with 0.5 ml Epo). The blood for gelatinases and pancreata for the morphological examinations and immunohistochemistry were collected.

Results

A slight reduction of interstitial oedema and less severe fibrosis were noticed in the groups treated with Epo. Reduced expression of caspase-3 and -actin, and a lack of Bcl-2 expression were observed in areas with inflammation. There was no expression of caspase-9 observed in all groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the activity of gelatinases.

Conclusions

Erythropoietin seems to have the effect of reducing fibrosis and apoptosis in an experimental model of CP.
Update on GRACE/GRACE-FO continuity in mass loss of the glaciers and big ice sheets.
Authors: Velicogna Isabella , Yara Mohajerani , Ciraci Enrico , Landerer Felix , Wiese David
Published: October 2020

The GRACE missions have changed the way that we measure mass changes of ice sheets, glaciers and ice caps, with quantied uncertainties that factor processing errors, atmospheric and oceanic corrections, and removal of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). We present GRACE/GRACE-FO estimates of mass balance over the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets and the World’s glaciers and ice caps (GIC). The data gap between missions is filled with GRACE-calibrated results from the input-output method for ice sheets and surface mass balance (SMB) reconstructions from regional atmospheric climate models and MERRA-2 reanalysis data for the glaciers and ice caps. Over Greenland, we report low losses during the cold years of 2017-2018 followed by record melt in 2019 and an onset of rapid melt for 2020. As warm air and ocean masses get blocked over Greenland more frequently because of interactions between the wobbling jet stream and topography, we observe more high melt events in this decade than recorded in prior centuries. In Antarctica, the ongoing rapid loss in West Antarctica dominates the mass balance, but we observe a steady increase in snowfall in the Atlantic sector of East Antarctica. The exercise provides a mass balance record that can be continuously improved with better corrections and improved processing, with reduced errors, so that we can provide better constraints for ice sheet models in charge of sea level projections and improve the validation of various Earth system models and global climate models.

Authors: Mercês Luciana Cristina Sousa das , Rezende Liliana Vicente Melo de Lucas , Araújo Valéria Martins de
Published: October 2020

Objetivo: o artigo faz uma revisão literária com abordagem interdisciplinar acerca do tratamento das recessões gengivais, por meio de relato de caso, exemplificando características clínicas e protocolo de resolução. Relato de caso: paciente com queixa principal de insatisfação estética na região dos dentes 11 e 21,em que se observou a presença de recessões gengivais rasas associadas à esses, sendo maior a do incisivo central superior esquerdo com a presença de coroas provisórias acrílicas com contornos fisiológicos inadequados e núcleos metálicos fundidos. O plano de tratamento indicado inicialmente foi deslize coronal do retalho com enxerto de tecido conjuntivo na região dos dentes 11 e 21, com objetivo de recobrimento radicular e confecção de novas coroas provisórias. Considerações finais: a técnica cirúrgica do envelope, associada ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo, promoveu ganho clínico de inserção e recobrimento radicular, representando uma alternativa viável e altamente previsível para o tratamento das recessões gengivais, principalmente aquelas relacionadas aos defeitos classe I e II de Miller. O tratamento interdisciplinar associando cirurgia periodontal e tratamento protético contribuiu para o aumento de espessura da mucosa ceratinizada e a estabilidade da margem gengival respectivamente; coroas provisórias confeccionadas com contornos fisiológicos dão suporte à margem gengival e, consequentemente, favorecem a saúde periodontal.

Published: October 2020

Objetivo: o objetivo desta revisão integrativa crítica foi investigar a relação de fissuras labiopalatinas comdoenças gengivais, correlacionando-as à qualidade de vida, de modo a fornecer esclarecimento sobre a temática, mesmo que sejam necessários mais estudos de acompanhamento longitudinal neste tema. Revisão de literatura: a Organização Mundial de Saúde define qualidade de vida correlacionada à condição bucal como a autopercepção do indivíduo sobre a influência de sua condição oral – em aspectos relacionados ao seu bem-estar geral, é plausível que ocorra associação com a doença periodontal, além disso, o possível impacto que tais condições podem desempenhar na vida dos indivíduos com fissura labiopalatina ainda é pouco conhecido, tornando-se relevante sintetizar dados dessa provável associação. Considerações finais: a presente revisão enfatizou a análise crítica de estudos transversais e longitudinais, supondo que a adequada compreensão das particularidades desses estudos favoreça o entendimento do impacto das doenças gengivais, associada a pacientes com fissura labiopalatina, e tendo como base que o entendimento desses fatores podem implicar no bem-estar da população estudada, servindo de auxílio na tomada terapêutica e no modo de agir do cirurgião-dentista. Portanto, mais estudos com qualidade metodológica são necessários nesta temática, podendo contribuir para uma definição mais clara da possível associação de piores escores de higiene a um impacto na qualidade de vida de indivíduos com fissura labiopalatina.

Published: October 2020

Objective: To assess the apical transportation in simulated root canals with different curvature angles prepared using manual instrumentation and rotary and reciprocating motions. Methods: Sixty simulated root canals were prepared using manual instrumentation (Flexofile K-file) (MT), continuous rotation (HyFlex CM) (HF), and reciprocating motion (WaveOne Gold) (WG). A trained operator prepared the canals, and the apical enlargement was standardized up to a #25 file in all systems tested. Two different curvature angles of the simulated root canals were tested: 70° and 50°. Overlapping photographs of the simulated root canals, before and after root canal preparation, were used to measure the apical transportation (mm), using the ImageJ software. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were analyzed and the groups were compared with two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc, with α=5%. Results: There was a statistically significant interaction between the effects of group and angle in the apical transportation (F = 3.740; p = 0.031). Simple main effects analysis showed that HyFlex CM produced a significantly lower apical transportation when compared to WaveOne Gold (p = 0.02) and the manual technique (p < 0.01), regardless of the angle. However, there were no differences between WaveOne Gold and manual technique in canals with the 70° angle (p>0.05). The group with the highest mean apical transportation was the MT, with 0.0917 mm, followed by WG and HF, with 0.0633 and 0.0325, respectively. Conclusion: Simulated root canals prepared with rotary motion (HyFlex CM) showed the lowest apical transportation, followed by the reciprocating motion (WaveOne Gold). The manual technique showed the most unfavorable results, with the highest apical transportation.

Authors: Silva Matheus Souza , De Souza Flávio Teixeira , Sarmanho Arlene Maria Cunha
Published: October 2020

Este trabalho avalia pilares mistos constituídos por concreto ensacado e perfis tubulares de aço, de modo a verificar experimentalmente a resistência e o comportamento de protótipos. Para isso foram ensaiados 12 pilares curtos, sendo três não preenchidos e 9 preenchidos por concreto ensacado, com e sem conectores. Os perfis mistos passaram por ensaio de compressão para avaliar a respectiva resistência, sendo a carga aplicada apenas no aço para todos os corpos de prova. Foi observado que os conectores aumentaram a resistência dos protótipos. A comparação entre resultados experimentais e prescrições normativas indicaram que a inclusão dos conectores aumentou a aderência, o que justifica o ganho de resistência do protótipo de reforço.

Published: October 2020

The early blight (caused by the fungus Alternaria solani) results in significant damage to the tomato crop, directly affecting productivity. An alternative to the frequent use of pesticides is the use of essential oils, which can act in defense against phytopathogens. The objective of this work was to evaluate the toxic activity in vitro of the bergamot orange (Citrus aurantium ssp. bergamia) essential oil against A. solani, the control of the early blight, and the activity of defense enzymes in tomatoes treated with this oil and inoculated with A. solani. Mycelial discs of A. solani were added to dishes with V8 culture media to which essential oil at concentrations of 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 µL L-1, in addition to a standard fungicide treatment (azoxystrobin + difenoconazole, 200 + 125 g L-1, respectively) was added. The Petri dishes were incubated at 25 °C in the dark. Mycelial growth was evaluated daily for 19 days, when all treatments reached maximum growth. Sporulation analysis was performed thereafter. Tomato plants were treated with bergamot essential oil, 30 days after transplanting, in the concentrations and fungicide mentioned, in the second pair of leaves. After 72 hours, the pathogen was inoculated using a spray bottle, on treated leaves (second pair of leaves) and untreated leaves (third pair of leaves). The area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated based on five severity assessments. The activity of peroxidase (POX), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) was evaluated in leaves treated with the concentration of 2500 µL L-1 of essential oil. The concentration of 2500 ?L L-1 reduced mycelial growth and sporulation of the pathogen by 68.15% and 29.48%, respectively. In treatments with application of essential oil, lower AUDPC was observed for a concentration of 2500 ?L L-1, which was statistically similar to that observed for fungicide application, both in treated and untreated leaves. A greater activity of PPO, POX, and PAL was found locally and systemically, both in the second and third leaves, at concentration of 2500 ?L L-1. The essential oil of bergamot can be an alternative for the control of early blight in tomato.

Bean common bacterial blight reduces crop productivity and is difficult to control. However, biological control by yeast can be an efficient complementary measure in management. The objective was to evaluate the ability of Rhodotorula glutinis and Sporidiobolus johnsonii to reduce the severity of bean common bacterial blight. The cultivar used was IAPAR Tuiuiú. The first experiment was sown in March and repeated in October, in a 4 × 3 factorial scheme (zero, one, two and three applications and three treatments R. glutinis, S. johnsonii and Acibenzolar-S-Methyl (ASM)). For this purpose were evaluated the area under the disease progress curve (AACPD), number of pods per plant (NVP), number of grains per pod (NGV), thousand grain mass (MMG) and productivity. For the results of the March cultivation, due to the low temperature, the maximum severity of bean common bacterial blight was 8% and the applications of yeasts were not significant for AACPD. The isolate R. glutinis showed the highest average of productivity with two applications, being 1006.44 kg ha-1. For October cultivation, R. glutinis and S. johnsonii isolates reduced AACPD by 66.84 and 58.42%, respectively with three applications. For productivity, R. glutinis and S. johnsonii showed no difference between the number of applications. The ASM showed a productivity of 4418.56 kg ha-1 with three applications. The results indicate that the yeasts R. glutinis and S. johnsonii reduce the severity of bean common bacterial blight and the most appropriate number of applications are two for both isolates.

Sugary cassava or mandiocaba is a cassava variety of potential use for bioethanol production. In this study, laboratory-scale fermentations were carried out in a bioreactor with a working volume of 1L, using the yeast strain LNF CAT-1. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to determine the extent to which pH, temperature, and yeast concentration influence ethanol production with the aim of improving the fermentation process. The individual effects and the interaction of these factors were analyzed using a surface response method. Physicochemical properties of the material were also investigated and the analysis of root characterization showed high moisture content (~91%) and a low amount of starch (~4.0%), ash values close to 1.0%, total fibers 0.4%, proteins 0.15%, and lipids 0.1%. The results obtained from the wort presented a low acidity (~0.2%), pH close to neutrality (~6.5%), total soluble solids values of ~5.8%, glucose content ~2.3%, fructose ~1.0%, and sucrose ~1.2%. The second-order polynomial regression model determined that the maximum ethanol production of 2.8% (v/v) would be obtained when the optimum pH, temperature, and yeast concentration were ~5.0, 32-36 ºC, and ~10-14 g L-1, respectively.

Secondary metabolites are important organic metabolites produced by plants. These metabolites include phenolic compounds, which have been of research interest because phenolics are considered an antinutritional factor for ruminants, compromise the bioavailability of nutrients. This study included a chemical composition analysis, an analysis of the condensed tannin content and the identification and quantification of the phenolic compounds present in the following plants cultivated with and without fertilisation: Coastcross-1 grass (G) and the legumes Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Mineirão (MS), Stylosanthes capitata × Stylosanthes macrocephala cv. Campo Grande (CGS), Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo (AA) and Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte (AB). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse 13 phenolic compounds. The forage with the best nutritive value was Amarillo pinto peanut. The condensed tannin content was higher in the legumes than that in the grass. Vanillin and o-coumaric, m-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic acid were detected in all the cultivars. The cultivar with the largest variety of phenolic compounds was Coastcross-1 grass. Diversity existed in the occurrence of phenolic compounds, which indicated the presence of condensed tannins in the cultivars and possibly that the diversity does not affect the concentration of these compounds. The AA cultivar was the most interesting alternative for the establishment of pasture intercropped with Coastcross-1 grass.

Easily dissolved fertilizers release nutrient in excess amount to be assimilated by plant roots. Some portions these fertilizers leach out from the root zone and adversely impact the environment. Controlled-release fertilizers are more favorable to reduce fertilizer loss, labor cost, and environmental impact. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) was synthesized by polymerization of urea and 40% formaldehyde solution using H3PO4 as a catalyst. Three mole ratios of urea:formaldehyde, namely, 1.0:1.0, 1.5:1.0 and 2.0:1.0 were synthesized. Mineralization of the UF was conducted using eight different mixtures, four different moisture, and four incubation periods. The experiment included soil alone, soil with compost, soil with UF (1.0:1.0), soil with UF (1.5:1.0), soil with UF (2.0:1.0), soil with UF (1.0:1.0) and compost, soil with UF (1.5:1.0) and compost, and soil with UF (2.0:1.0) and compost. Moisture of the mixtures was adjusted to 20%, 40% 60% and 80% water holding capacity (WHC) of the soil. The mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks, the released NH4+ and NO3- were extracted by 1 M KCl and analyzed via a distillation method. Rates of mineralization increased with mole ratio of urea and moisture content of the soil. N loss increased with the moisture content. The best performance for the compromised condition was a mole ratio less than 1.5:1.0 (urea:formaldehyde) at 60% WHC. Availability of UF and serpentine-phosphate for oil palm seedlings was conducted using 10 treatments. The experiment consisted of soil without amendment; soil with Multicote; soil with cow manure; soil with cow manure and urea; soil with cow manure and UF (1.0:1.0); soil with cow manure and UF (1.5:1.0); soil with cow manure, MgHPO4 and UF (1.0:1.0); soil with cow manure, MgHPO4 and UF (1.5:1.0); soil with cow manure, serpentine-phosphate and UF (1.0:1.0); and soil with cow manure, serpentine-phosphate and UF (1.5:1.0). All amended soils increased vegetative growth of oil palm seedlings compared with the non-amended soils. Urea and UF increased the N content in seedling leaves, while Multicote, cow manure, MgHPO4, and serpentine-phosphate increased the Mg content. The best performance was found in the combination of cow manure, serpentine-phosphate and the UF with mole ratio of 1.0:1.0.

Nitrogen (N) fertilizers have their use efficiency adversely affected by the rate and source of N. A two-year field experiment was conducted to examine the yield response of upland rice by using NBPT (urease inhibitor), PCU (polymer-coated urea) and uncoated urea under different N application rates. It was hypothesized that either NPBT or PCU may result in increased yield components of upland rice when compared to conventional urea. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design in a 3 × 4 + 1 factorial scheme, with four replicates. Treatments comprised three sources (conventional uncoated urea, NBPT-treated urea, and polymer-coated urea) and four rates (30, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1) of N, in addition to a control treatment (no fertilizer application). Nitrogen fertilizers were applied in two split doses: 50% at the seedling stage, and 50% at the tillering stage (~80 days after planting). The results revealed that the use of enhanced-efficiency N sources increased the productivity and plant height of upland rice crop when compared to conventional urea. As compared to when it is untreated or polymner-coated, treating urea with NBPT resulted in increased 100-grain weight.
Policy Exceptionalism: analysis of ideational framework governing agricultural sector in Lithuania
Authors: Vitkauskaitė-Ramanauskienė Jonė
Published: October 2020

After WWII, the agricultural sector emerged as an area of exception in western democracies and is often characterised by sector-specific policies, compartmentalised institutions, well-organised interests’ groups and ideas explaining why this sector cannot be governed by free-market forces. Nevertheless, over the last three decades, the sector has been reformed to incorporate neoliberal and environmental demands to a certain extent. Hence, the current agricultural regime consists of two competing discourses - policy exceptionalism versus post-exceptionalism. Study analyses this ideational struggle in the context of Lithuania. The study conducts interpretative discourse analysis of a site of discursive contestation, namely parliamentary debates over policy changes, which sparked farmers’ unrest in Autumn, 2019. It is argued that policy exceptionalism is a dominant discourse governing Lithuanian agricultural sector and that it serves as a discursive barrier to the incorporation of environmental concerns into the agricultural policy-making process.

Resumo:O presente texto discute o uso de textos escritos como corpora em Linguística Histórica. Desde as suas origens, mas sobretudo no quadro teórico e metodológico da linguística moderna, incluindo a Sociolinguística laboviana, os dados da escrita têm sido encarados como “maus dados”, por comparação com os dados da oralidade, disponíveis para os estudos de sincronias modernas. Esta ideia junta-se a outras, que a tradição tem também perpetuado, sobre a natureza das fontes e os tipos de edição, que importa igualmente discutir à luz das alterações trazidas pela era digital à teoria e à prática editorial.Palavras-chave:Linguística Histórica.
