Legal Protection of Debtors and Creditors Against Transfer of Receivables (Cessie) in The Event of Bankruptcy Related to The Principle of Justice
Authors: Vellinda Fintania
Published: July 2023

A In the current era of globalization, development is a natural thing. We can see this from the many new businesses that have sprung up. To run this business, sufficient capital is needed, one way to get this capital is through a loan to a bank by making a credit agreement and guarantee agreement. In practice, not all debtors fulfill and carry out their obligations, which results in bad loans. Therefore, the creditor in an effort to solve the problem, the creditor transfers the receivables (cessie), this is doneto reduce the risk of collateralized assets due to bad credit. This study determine the legal protection of the debtior against the transfer of receivables by cessie and to provide protection to creditors as buyers of receivable transfer. The research method used in this paper normative juridical research, namely legal research carried out by studying using library materials or secondary data with a statute approach and a conceptual approach.. Based on the results of the study, it shows that legal protection for debtors for the transfer of receivables is regulated in Article 613 and Article 1470 of the Civil Code,in the event that the Creditor partially transfers his receivables to a third party with the aim that the debtor has two unpaid debts as the fulfillment of the conditions for filing for bankruptcy, it is a misunderstanding. Because The Bankruptcy Act will lose its raison d'etre. On the other hand,in a cessie made by the creditor without notification to the debtor, then based on the provisions of Article 613 of the Civil Code, the transfer of receivables is null and void. Based on this, the authors are of the view that it is important to reformulate the Civil Code which regulates cesssie so that justice, certainty and legal benefit are realized.

The García Family: A Musical Journey between Spain and the U.S.
Authors: Pérez Dobarro Isabel , Nelson-Haber Molly , Kleinman Patricia
Published: July 2023

This study aims to expand research on the important influence of a family of Spanish origins, the Garcías, who introduced Italian opera to the United States and fundamentally shaped 19th-century vocal performance, leaving an interpretive and pedagogical legacy that transcends to the present day. Molly Nelson-Haber examines the circumstances that led to the New York premiere of Il barbiere di Siviglia, one of the most important events in the musical history of the United States, also surveying its reception among audiences and critics, María Malibrán’s success as an undisputed diva, and the subsequent performances of the García Family, which had a great impact on New York’s musical life. Patricia Kleinman explores the influence of the ‘García Technique’ in the United States––a method originally developed by Manuel García, elaborated by his son, Manuel Patricio, which emerged over the course of the 19th century as an established tradition and an emblem of artistic excellence. Finally, Isabel Pérez Dobarro examines Malibrán’s influence on the emerging music publishing business in the United States during the first half of the century; the sheer quantity of publications referencing the great singer attests to her tremendous influence beyond the stage.

Authors: Pérez Dobarro Isabel , Nelson-Haber Molly , Kleinman Patricia
Published: July 2023

Este volumen explora una historia que cambió para siempre la trayectoria musical de los Estados Unidos y con ello el mundo de la ópera. La Familia García introdujo la ópera en italiano en los Estados Unidos y moldeó la interpretación vocal del siglo XIX , dejando un legado interpretativo y pedagógico que transciende hasta nuestros días. El presente estudio pretende expandir las investigaciones sobre la importante influencia de esta familia de origen español en Norteamérica: Molly Nelson-Haber analiza en detalle las circunstancias que llevaron a la organización del estreno de Il barbiere di Siviglia en Nueva York, uno de los hechos más significativos de la historia musical de este país, relatando también la recepción del mismo tanto por el público como por la crítica, el éxito de María Malibrán como diva indiscutible y las siguientes actuaciones de los García, que tuvieron un gran impacto en el diseño de la vida musical neoyorquina de la época. El artículo de Kleinman explora las ramificaciones de la ‘Técnica García’ en los Estados Unidos, presentada inicialmente por Manuel García, desarrollada por su hijo Manuel Patricio y establecida a lo largo a lo largo del siglo XIX como tradición y emblema de calidad artística. Finalmente, Isabel Pérez Dobarro analiza la influencia de María Malibrán en el emergente negocio de la publicación musical en la primera mitad del siglo XIX en los Estados Unidos: la extraordinaria cantidad de publicaciones con referencias a la gran cantante atestigua la gran influencia que tuvo en esas décadas en América más allá de los escenarios.
Campanella y el Mondo Nuovo: una geopolítica tardorenacentista
Authors: Rojas-Olmedo Pablo
Published: July 2023

El núcleo de la teoría política campanelliana tiene como centro la propuesta de un gobierno universal o imperial inspirado en una necesidad teológica. El imperio tiene como fin la unidad de los hombres y mujeres del mundo bajo el catolicismo en la pluralidad de territorios y costumbres. El descubrimiento del Nuevo mundo trajo consigo la responsabilidad de la salvación de las almas de su población, además de la posibilidad de pensar estrategias efectivas del dominio político de la tierra americana. La hipótesis que guiará el desarrollo indicará que el interés en el pensamiento del fraile de Calabria sobre américa puede dividirse en dos: por un lado, una ruptura epistemológica que pone en relieve una nueva actitud empírica (§2), y por el otro, la necesidad de incluirla bajo el gobierno imperio del mundo (§3-4). Teniendo en cuenta y señalando las influencias obvias de las crónicas americanas de la época, las obras del humanista Francisco López de Gómara y del jesuita José de Acosta.

El marxismo de José Carlos Mariátegui ante los dilemas de la educación y de la universidad en América Latina
Authors: García Gonzalo Fabián
Published: July 2023

Una de las problemáticas esenciales del pensamiento latinoamericano ha consistido en el hecho de que los esfuerzos por asir la propia realidad social se encuentran mediatizados por categorías generadas en otros contextos. Esto ha dado lugar a la conocida discusión sobre la autenticidad de la tradición intelectual. En ese sentido, la obra teórica de Mariátegui representa un hito en cuanto a las posibilidades de desarrollo de un marxismo latinoamericano. El argumento central de su revitalización, en tanto clásico, ha consistido en destacar su gesto de recreación de la teoría de Marx de acuerdo con la realidad circundante y los problemas de su época. El propósito de este artículo es situar la obra Mariátegui en un espacio de interpretación más amplio que refiere a su gesto reformulador de las problemáticas históricas que ha enfrentado el pensamiento latinoamericano. Nos enfocamos en el análisis de la educación y de la universidad para plantear un ejercicio de revelación hermenéutica que busca poner en contacto sus contribuciones con los dilemas de nuestro presente histórico.
Suggestions on How to Combine the Platonic Forms to Overcome the Interpretative Difficulties of the Parmenides Dialogue(*)
Authors: Matía Cubillo Gerardo Óscar
Published: July 2023

This paper provides an original approach to research on the logical processes that determine how certain forms participate in others. By introducing the concept of relational participation, the problems of self-referentiality of the Platonic forms can be dealt with more effectively. Applying this to the forms of likeness and unlikeness in Parmenides 132d-133a reveals a possible way to resolve different versions of the Third Man Argument. The method of generating numbers from oddness and evenness may also be of interest; relational participation in these forms clarifies the interpretation of Parmenides 143e-144a.
Neoliberalismo, neopentecostalismo y pandemia

Published: July 2023

Con la instalación de la pandemia han surgido voces vinculadas a proyectos teóricos y políticos que anuncian el colapso del capitalismo global o por el contrario, la consolidación de una sociedad más impiadosa y cruel que va de camino a un control tecno-totalitario. En este artículo, defendemos la idea de que en la interacción con la pandemia, el neoliberalismo y el neopentecostalismo han radicalizado sus posiciones preparándose para la instalación de un “neoliberalismo soviético” que reniegue definitivamente de la democracia y de la soberanía.
Da'wah Strategy of West Java Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) with Health Message Content in Facing the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ma'arif Bambang Saiful , Siddiq Asep Ahmad
Published: July 2023

This research aims to discuss the da'wah strategy of the Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) of West Java in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of information about health is received by the congregation; some are true and some are not. Unfortunately, many residents and congregations are influenced by things that are not true, making them reluctant to be vaccinated. This research method is qualitative with in-depth interview techniques. This study concludes that the PWNU (Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Boards) da'wah strategy begins with the organization's view of COVID-19 which gave birth to NU's da'wah policy and its da'wah strategy. COVID-19 is a test that needs to be addressed and overcome properly. NU policy leads to actions to overcome the pandemic, which are synergized with the government and society by utilizing organizational resources to foster jam'iyyah and congregational health. Da'wah is carried out by conveying religious messages combined with spiritual and mental health information to achieve physical health, accompanied by worship and good endeavor. In addition, reading the Qur'an can also bring happiness that affects physical endurance and health. Communication media are used to deliver da’wah messages from West Java NU, namely through mass media and social media, in which social media is more intensely used for da'wah than mass media. The implication of this research is that da'wah by Islamic organizations can still be carried out during a pandemic by using communication media, both social and mass media.
Da’i Technology Literacy in Perspective of the Qur'an
Authors: Castrawijaya Cecep
Published: July 2023

The dai's technological literacy is the ability to use, understand, manage and assess an innovation that involves a scientific process to solve problems and know the dai's abilities related to literacy problems. This research aims to reveal the concept of dai's technological literacy in the view of the Koran and to find out the dai's technological literacy competence. The method used in this research is the descriptive analysis method, while the approach method used in this research is a qualitative approach through literature study. The results of this study indicate that the concept of information literacy in the Koran leads to the implementation of information retrieval. In contrast, the concept of communication literacy in the view of the Koran refers to morals and ethics in communication. In addition, technological literacy competencies include basic, primary, intermediate, advanced, technical, and literacy skills. This research implies that the preachers are expected to be able to upgrade themselves and have established literacy in the field of technology so that they can maintain their da'wah activities according to the times.
Moderate Da'wah and National Resilience: A Case Study at the Bandung Regency Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB)
Authors: Solahudin Dindin
Published: July 2023

This study tries to offer constructive preaching to build national resilience by highlighting Islamic moderation (wasaṭiyyatul Islam) through a series of moderate da’wah. This research was conducted through a qualitative approach using the case study method on a series of activities carried out by the Bandung Regency Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) to build a spirit of tolerance, moderation and national harmony. Research data were collected through observation techniques, interviews, documentation, and literature study. The results of the study concluded that wasaṭiyyatul Islām is an authentic character of Islamic law that reflects i'tidāl (perpendicularity) and istiqāmah (consistency) in aṣ-ṣirāth al-mustaqīm (straight path). Islam is moderate as long as it is understood in the corridor of truth. Islam, with its wasaṭiyyah nature, should also be preached mildly. Muqābalah moderation is not radicalism but extremity. Radical da'wah is not a problem as long as istiqāmah is in the corridor of moderation. Preaching radically moderate Islam is certainly not justified. Extreme da'wah undermines Islamic moderation and contradicts Islamic law itself. Islamic moderation necessitates its adherents to practice Islamic law moderately. Moderate da'wah socializes Islam to be practised by its followers mildly. Religious moderation is an essential social capital for national resilience. FKUB Bandung Regency has a strategic role in building spiritual awareness in an emancipatory manner, empowering religious communities in a participatory way, building collective and collaborative partnerships, and formulating transformative diversity dialogues. Thus, the existence of FKUB in Bandung Regency can be seen as a social entity that impacts building a spirit of moderate da'wah to realize a religious ecosystem that strengthens national resilience.
Effects of Sensorimotor Synchronization Training on Anticipatory Postural Adjustments according to the Muscle Function in the Elderly
Authors: Jeong Eunhwi , Suh Donghwi , Jeong Jaeuk
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES Anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) are used by humans to counteract the perturbation caused by the initiation of walking. Many previous studies have shown that APA can be improved through sensorimotor interventions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of sensorimotor intervention strategies for improving APA in the elderly.METHODS 20 healthy elderly participants were recruited and divided into two groups according to the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia. Sensorimotor synchronization training (SMSt) utilizing auditory signals was used as intervention to improve the APA. APA was measured during the performance of lifting the foot and narrow walking tasks to compare the continuity of movement, and walking speed was measured to assess task performance. In order to compare the change of APA, we compared the displacement of center of pressure (COP) and torque before the movement occurred.RESULTS The results showed that the inter limb transfer effect was observed in all tasks. Although no difference between the group was observed in the foot raising task, there were significant increase in the foot speed, the magnitude and torque of the APA. Such changes are considered as a strategy for offsetting an increased perturbation of the faster foot after SMSt. Unlike the raising foot task, different aspects were observed in the narrow stride walking task. In the narrow stride walking task, although the foot speed increased, there was no increase in the magnitude and torque of APA. Furthermore, the group with low muscle function showed a decrease in static.CONCLUSIONS The differences in the continuity of motor tasks observed in this study support the hypothesis that SMSt can enhance motor control and improve postural function.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrated altered not only ankle but also lower extremity joint angle during numerous dynamic movements compared to healthy controls. However, little is known about joint angles during sprinting, which is the most essential movement during explosive sports. We, therefore, investigated the lower extremity joint angle during sprinting between elite sprinters with CAI and healthy controls.METHODS Fourteen male college sprinters participated in this study, seven with CAI and seven healthy controls. Five-second steady speed running was performed on a treadmill at 7.5 m/s. Mean lower extremity joint angles were compared applying the statistical parametric mapping method.RESULTS The CAI patients demonstrated significantly higher ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion angles during the stance phase. Additionally, large between-group effect sizes would demonstrate higher ankle dorsiflexion and knee and hip flexion angle from the late swing phase to the late stance phase.CONCLUSIONS The altered lower extremity joint angles from the late swing phase to the late stance phase in CAI patients suggest greater joint stability for large external loads with feed-forward motor control programs.

OBJECTIVES Firefighters play a critical role in high-temperature environments that demand substantial physical strength for efficient job performance. However, South Korean firefighters face challenges in maintaining optimal fitness levels due to limited opportunities for exercise. Factors that contribute to this issue include shift work, frequent dispatches, and the absence of exercise instructors.METHODS At total of 20 male Korean firefighters were divided into an exercise group (EG) and a control group (CG) with ten participants each. The EG group underwent an 8-week exercise intervention at a fire academy in Busan using a kinect-based exercise device called Virtual Mate (VM), while the CG group maintained their regular lifestyle without any additional exercise. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted, including the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT), a physical fitness evaluation commonly used for firefighting duties in North America, the Korea Firefighter Performance Battery (KFPB), which is a modified version of CPAT, and basic physical fitness tests. The effect of exercise was analyzed using statistical methods, including repeated measures analysis of variance and paired t-tests.RESULTS Significant group-by-time interactions were observed for CPAT completion time (p = .004) and KFPB completion time (p = .012). After 8 weeks of exercise, the EG demonstrated a significant decrease in CPAT completion time (543.7 ± 93.0 sec vs. 500.8 ± 64.1 sec, p = .004) and KFPB completion time (584.1 ± 47.8 sec vs. 525.3 ± 16.2 sec, p = .001), while the CG did not show significant changes. In terms of basic physical fitness, only in EG, number of sit-ups performed in one minute significantly increased (p < .001)CONCLUSIONS The Kinect-based exercise device, VM, proves to be a valuable solution for addressing the practical challenges faced by Korean firefighters, ultimately enhancing their physical fitness.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to report changes in pain perception and the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) pulse amplitude, and progressions in aerobic and resistance exercise at each session during a ten-session rehabilitation programme for patients with anterior knee pain.METHODS Eleven patients with anterior knee pain (4 females and 7 males: 20.8 ± 2.8 years, 169.7 ± 8.1 cm, 72.9 ± 25.0 kg, painful duration: 51.3 ± 42.0 months, Kujala anterior knee pain scale: 73.4 out of 100) participated in the rehabilitation programme. Each session of rehabilitation consisted of a 30-min simultaneous application of TENS and focal knee joint cooling, followed by a 30-min of therapeutic exercises (aerobic, flexibility, and strengthening exercise). Pain perception (using a 10-cm visual analogue scale) before and after each session, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation pulse amplitude (mA), treadmill jogging speed (km/h), and external load during resistance exercises (knee extensions, squats, and lunges in kg/kg) at each session were recorded.RESULTS Overall pain perception was reduced (49%, p=0.0008) and the TENS pulse amplitude was increased (20%, p=0.002) at the fourth session. The jogging speed increased at the third (9%, p=0.008), fifth (7%, p=0.03), and ninth (9%, p=0.0007) session. External loads in resistance exercises were increased every session that the total improvement was 98% in lunges (p<0.0001), 95% in knee extensions (p<0.007), 105% in squats (p<0.0001).CONCLUSIONS The observed changes and progressions could be used as general guidelines for the establishment and implementation of a short-term conservative treatment of anterior knee pain.
Paradoxo do capacitor e haste
Authors: Fonseca Carlos Heitor d’Ávila , Pereira Emmanuel Araújo
Published: July 2023

Nesse artigo tratamos de um paradoxo, no sentido de contradição aparente, da teoria da Relatividade Especial: um circuito em forma de U, com abertura L 0 e contendo um capacitor carregado, movimenta-se em relação a uma haste condutora de comprimento L 0. A pergunta é: visto de um referencial no circuito e depois visto de um referencial na haste, o circuito se fecha descarregando o capacitor ou não? A solução do paradoxo, que parece envolver apenas a questão de contração do comprimento, na verdade envolve também a questão de simultaneidade, como mostramos. O artigo, além de apresentar e resolver o paradoxo, revê pontos importantes da teoria da Relatividade Especial, tais como representação geométrica das transformações de Lorentz, simultaneidade e dessincronização dos relógios ao longo de uma objeto em movimento.

ABSTRACT The sesame crop has great economic potential due to the various possibilities of exploitation, however, there is a lack of information about the chemical control of weeds in the crop, mainly about the application of herbicides in pre-emergence. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the economic viability and efficacy of herbicides applied in pre-emergence for the control of weeds in the sesame crop. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications. The treatments consisted of seven herbicides (diuron, flumioxazin, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen, metribuzin, linuron, and S-metolachlor) and a mixture (metribuzin + oxyfluorfen) applied in pre-emergence. The two control treatments were weeded and nonweeded plots. The variables evaluated were percentage of control of the weed community, grain yield, gross and net income, rate of return, and profitability index. The highest productivity value was for weeding, followed by the herbicides diuron and flumioxazin, with 2,000.44 kg ha-1, 1,957.35 kg ha-1;, and 1,933.13 kg ha-1, respectively. The herbicides diuron and flumioxazin obtained the highest net income, in the amounts of R$ 7,831.26 and R$ 7,762.85, respectively. The diuron and flumioxazin applied in pre-emergence showed more than 80% in the control of weeds in the sesame crop, showing efficiency in the control. The use of herbicides applied in pre-emergence to control weeds, mainly diuron and flumioxazin, is as efficient as mechanical control, demonstrating the potential for use and economic viability in relation to mechanical control, which presents a high cost/benefit ratio.

Authors: Menezes Gabriela Rodrigues de , Rosa Filho Ailton Marques , Queiroz Ana Paula Dossi de Guimarães e
Published: July 2023

Abstract Despite public policies, congenital syphilis infection remains a reality in the health system routine. Moreover, its epidemiological rates continue to be relevant and worrisome despite widespread and effective preventive methods, highly cost-effective treatments available in the Unified Health System, and high-coverage pre-natal care. A major obstacle to eradicating this scenario is treatment refusal by the progenitor. Important questions regarding medical responsibility in relation to refusal, the pregnant woman’s responsibility towards the unborn child, and the legal implications involved arise from this context. This article seeks to answer these questions and their legal and bioethical repercussions.

Modeling vegetation interception under natural rainfall in yerba mate production systems
Authors: Santos Ezequias Rodrigues dos , Vestena Leandro Redin , Ribeiro Filho Jacques Carvalho
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT Interception loss plays an important role in rainfall partitioning, retaining significant amounts of water that would be directed to the soil. In this work, the objective was to measure interception by vegetation and evaluate the Rutter and Gash models to estimate the interception in different yerba mate production systems. The study was conducted the period from July/2019 to March/2020 in the municipality of Guarapuava, southern Brazil. The total rainfall, stemflow, and the throughfall were monitored in each rainfall event. Rutter and Gash interception models were applied. The interception losses estimated by Rutter and Gash models were considered satisfactory but, in general, underestimated. In the yerba mate monoculture system, an average interception loss of 15.6% was recorded, in the yerba mate agroforest, 21.4%, and, in the native Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, 16.2%. Rutter's model presented estimates close to the measured rainfall interception estimate for the yerba mate monoculture system and Gash's model for the agroforestry system and the native Ombrophilous Mixed Forest.
Potential of liquid organic fertilizer from horse and cow urine on shoot growth of Cattleya labiata Lindl.
Authors: Sitinjak Rama Riana
Published: July 2023

Abstract Liquid organic waste from animals can be fermented into liquid organic fertilizer, so it can be an alternative to increase plant growth. This study aims to determine the effect of giving horse and cow urine LOF, as well as its interaction on shoot growth in the Cattleya labiata Lindl orchid plant. The method used is a factorial experimental method with a randomized block design and three replications. Liquid organic fertilizer from horse and cow urine with a concentration of 0%, 10% and 20%. There were 9 treatment combinations with 27 experimental units. The results showed that the LOF application of horse and cow urine and their interactions had a very significant effect on the growth of Cattleya labiata shoot diameter in the 4th week. The application of horse urine LOF and its interaction with cow urine LOF had no significant effect on the growth of the number and height of shoots, but had a very significant effect on the administration of cow urine LOF. The best treatment was found in the application of 20% cow urine LOF without horse urine LOF (K0S2); obtained the highest growth of one shoot 4.8 cm with the highest diameter of 1.8 cm. LOF application of cow urine is more effective in increasing the growth of orchid shoots including: number, height, and diameter of shoots.
Biotic homogenization in the availability of ornamental seeds of the native flora in Chile

Published: July 2023

Abstract Biotic homogenization is a global phenomenon, mainly in urban areas where exotic species are dominant, contributing to the loss of native biodiversity. Gardening native flora to promote local biodiversity is becoming a conservation practice in urban settings. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the representation of the Chilean native flora in the Chilean and international ornamental flower seed market to know which native plant seeds are sold. We found that native seed are absent in the local market and that the totality of seed supply in the market corresponds to species of exotic origin, mainly from the Palearctic region (43%). However, surprisingly, many Chilean flower seeds are traded in the international market (approximately 6% of the total Chilean flora). This lack of availability of native seeds for local consumers constitutes a bottleneck for ecological restoration initiatives. It is consistent with the greater abundance of exotic species in urban green areas and supports the hypothesis of biocultural homogenization.

Published: July 2023

Abstract The temperature of the nutrient solution is one of the main obstacles of hydroponic production in hot climates and can affect the nutrient absorption of plants. Additionally, the hydroponic cultivation of cut flowers is rarely done, and hence, there is a lack of studies on this topic. The objective of this experiment was to determine the ideal temperature of the nutrient solution as well as the influence of the plant density factor for hydroponic cultivation in NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) of the cultivar Girassol de Jardim Amarelo Alto, ISLA ® . The experiment was installed in a greenhouse, with 50% shading. The experiment adopted a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme with plots subdivided in space, with the main plots composed of two densities (15 and 30 plants m-2) and the subplots of four temperatures of the nutrient solution (20, 25, 30 °C and uncontrolled temperature) with three replications each. The variables analyzed were plant height, stem diameter, internal and external diameter of the flower, number of leaves, number of buds and flowers, dry and fresh root mass, dry and fresh shoot mass, and cultivation cycle. The data were submitted to an analysis of variance using the statistical software SISVAR. The density of 15 plants m-2 proved to be more efficient, presenting plants of commercialization standard.

Abstract The success of any plant development relies on healthy and vigorous seedlings, and the use of rhizobacteria is a sustainable alternative for the production of high-quality seedlings as they positively interfere in plant development. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of rhizobacteria on growth and quality of seedlings of açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), a native palm of Brazil, which has significant ornamental value in addition to the ecological and economic role, mainly by providing sweet heart of palm and fruit pulp. The experimental design was entirely randomized. There were five treatments (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Azospirillum brasilense plus the absence of microorganisms - control); four replicates and ten plants per plot. The following characteristics were evaluated: shoot height (cm), root length (cm); stem diameter (mm); number of leaves; leaf area (cm2); shoot, and root as well as total dry matter (g). Shoot/root ratio was determined and Dickson Quality Index. The data were submitted to variance analysis and the means were compared using Tukey’s test at 5% probability. Pearson’s correlation matrix was also determined. The rhizobacterium Bacillus subtilis provided higher growth while Bacillus amyloliquefaciens provided lower growth and quality of açaí seedlings.

Abstract In vitro flowering is a technique used in genetic improvement that accelerates generations and favors the faster fixation of new traits of agronomic and market interest. The study aimed to establish a protocol for the in vitro flowering of Dendrobium nobile, through the combined temperature and of the growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) effects. Experiments was performed in a flask that was kept in a BOD incubator at 18, 21, or 24 °C or in a growth room at 26 °C. The TDZ concentrations were 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg L-1. The highest percentage of flowering shoots of 13.7% occurred at a concentration of 2 mg L-1 of TDZ grown at a temperature of 18 °C. Dendrobium nobile in vitro flowering was promoted in plants cultivated in ½ MS supplemented with 30 g L-1 sucrose, 5.5 g L-1 agar, 100 mL L-1 coconut water, pH 6.0, and 2.0 mg L-1 TDZ at a controlled temperature of 18 °C and a photoperiod of 16 h. The in vitro flowering induction protocol of the D. nobile species could be used or improved for future studies.

Abstract Studies on biometry are considered important tools for understanding the germination process of seeds. Moreover, the ex-situ conservation of palm seeds can cause loss of viability over time. The present study aimed to evaluate the biometric characterization and the effect of storage on the seed germination of the Triangle Palm (Dypsis decaryi), a widely used species in Brazilian landscaping. Two independent studies were conducted: I) biometric characterization of diaspores and II) effect of storage in seed germination. For biometry, a sample of 100 diaspores was used and the length, width and thickness were measured. Biometric data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The seeds were packed in transparent plastic bags kept in a refrigerator (20 ± 2 ºC and 80% relative humidity) for storage evaluation. The experimental design was entirely randomized. The treatments consisted of six storage periods (0 - control, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days); there were four repetitions and 25 seeds per plot. The germination percentage and germination speed index were evaluated. Diaspores showed little variation in their biometric characteristics, with a mean of 18.39 mm in length, 16.10 mm in width and 15.96 mm in thickness. There was significant and positive correlation between all biometric characteristics. It was observed that germination remained stable until 30 days of storage (90%), with a gradual percentage decrease in later periods. The seed storage allowed to maintain its viability and longevity with the ability to germinate, reaching a germination percentage of 63% after 150 days of storage.

Abstract Gloriosa superba L. is a recently introduced tropical species in Argentina, cultivated as a cut flower. It is extremely important to know the nutritional demands of the crop to provide the optimal amounts of nutrients at each stage, achieving quality and good yield in flowers, reducing production costs and environmental impact. The objective of this work was to determine the dynamics of nutrient absorption in the cultivation of G. superba for cut flowers, to facilitate the creation of a fertilization program, in order to avoid crop deficiencies and contribute to sustainable production. Tuber composition analyzes were carried out and, on the other hand, an essay was installed in greenhouse beds, taking samples at seven moments of the cycle. Fresh matter and dry matter of stems, leaves, flowers, tubers, roots and chemical analysis of aerial organs were measured to obtain the absorption curve. It was verified that only around 20% of each nutrient is provided by the tuber, being necessary the external contribution from initial stages of the crop. The rate of growth and accumulation of dry matter was shown as a double sigmoid, with maximum peaks in the vegetative stage of stem elongation and beginning of flowering. Nutrient amounts were absorbed in the following order: N>K>Mg>Ca>P>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu. Fertilization rich in N, P, and Fe is recommended in the vegetative stage, balanced during the visible shoot stage, and rich in Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Cu during flowering.

Abstract Zamiifolia (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is an ornamental and perennial medicinal plant, which belongs to Araceae family. This plant holds a prominent place in the economic significance of this particular plant family. This study aimed to examine the process of root development and rhizome production through leaf cuttings of zamiifoliain the this experiment. This experiment was conducted as factorial design within a completely randomized framework design with three replications. Experimental treatments composed of chitosan application at three levels (0, 250 and 500 mg L-1), and the positioning of leaflet cuttings along the main axis of the mother leaf (apical, middle, and basal). After the application of the treatments, the leaflet cuttings were subjected to a four-month rooting period. This rooting process took place in a growth medium consisting of a balanced mixture of perlite and cocopeat mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1. The results exhibited significant effects of different chitosan concentrations on several parameters, including rhizome number, rhizome width, the number of roots, and the quality of the mother leaf. In addition, the type of leaflet cutting demonstrated a significant influence on the width and number of rhizomes. These results demonstrated that the application of chitosan at concentrations of 250 and 500 mg L-1 had a positive effect and resulted in increased rhizome number, rhizome width, and number of roots. Overall, it can be concluded that chitosan can promote the growth and development of zamiifolia by stimulating rhizome production and improving root proliferation.

Abstract The ornamental plant sector is growing due to the development of new species and technologies. The focus of research is to extend the shelf life of cut flowers to maintain quality and customer satisfaction. Techniques such as storage at low temperatures, use of preservative solutions, and new technologies such as nanotechnology can help maintain the quality of the floral stem. The present review aims to analyze various techniques used to extend the post-harvest shelf life of floral stems. For this purpose, a systematic search was conducted on major indexing platforms for studies published in 2023, which were subjected to a meta-analysis. The global effect size and moderator effects were calculated to assist in decision-making for future studies in floriculture. The results indicated that the addition of preservatives to solutions, variations in storage temperature, and the use of electromagnetic fields were the most effective techniques in extending the shelf life of cut flowers. However, techniques such as dry conditioning and the use of coating films did not show significant results in maintaining commercial quality. It was found that conservative solution research is still the main focus of research at major cut flower technology centers. The meta-analysis highlights the importance of further deepening and/or improving research on techniques that have shown less effective results, and developing new technologies to prolong the vase life of floral stems in order to improve post-harvest quality.
