PLANTATION MANAGEMENT AND BAMBOO RESOURCE ECONOMICS IN CHINA
Authors: Troya Mera Fidel Antonio , Xu Chenyang
Published: December 2017

Bamboos constitute a very important and versatile resource worldwide. A lot of Asian, African and South American people rely on bamboo products for their housing and farming tools. Meanwhile, the shoots of these plants are regarded as vegetables in East and South-East Asian nations. China has the greatest bamboo forest area (extension) and the largest number of bamboo species (more than 590 species), many of them with significant economic importance, being Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), the most important bamboo species in China, due to its usage not only as timber but also for food. China has paid unprecedented attention in recent decades to bamboo forest management. The vast economic profits derived from silviculture have contributed much to rural development and poverty alleviation. Bamboo industry has become the pillar of economy in mountainous areas. Besides being a tool for poverty alleviation in rural areas, bamboo plantations are also a significant carbon sink and a key option to mitigate land degradation. This paper highlights such aspects as bamboo silviculture (fertilization, pruning, thinning, irrigation, shoot and timber harvesting) its domestic and international applications (timber, plywood, food, paper, fuel, housing, etc.) in daily life, and  its current role in Chinese industry and economy, without particular reference to any of its species.

La capacidad de degradación de los pastos de corte en la Costa, constituye una alternativa a la demanda de gramíneas para la alimentación de rumiantes. Se seleccionó cuatro especies de pasto Pennisetum (elefante, king grass morado, maralfalfa y Clon Cuba CT-115) a tres edades de corte (30, 45 y 60 días) y se evaluó la dinámica degradativa en 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 y 72 horas de incubación utilizando tres toros Brahman fistulados de 450 kg promedio. Se utilizó la técnica de las bolsas de nylon y se empleó un diseño de bloques al azar con un arreglo factorial 4x3 (especies forrajeras x edad de corte). Los datos fueron expuestos a un análisis de varianza con la prueba de Tukey (p<0.05) y con el programa estadístico (SAS, 2003). Se constató que el avance de la edad estuvo asociado con la disminución de la proteína, sus mejores proporciones fueron a los 30 días con 12.89%, seguido por 12.19, 11.53 y 9.77% para el maralfalfa, CT-115, king grass y elefante, respectivamente. La mayor tasa de degradación in situ fue p≤0.001 para el pasto maralfalfa a los 30 días de corte, obteniendo materia seca (88.85%), materia orgánica (89.53%) y biodisponibilidad de cenizas (85.24%) a las 72 horas de incubación. La liberación de estos componentes se vio influenciada con la madurez del forraje, por tanto, su alta degradación garantiza una cantidad de energía fermentable, disponible para el proceso de síntesis microbiana ruminal y es una buena alternativa de uso para los ganaderos.

En el presente trabajo se aplica una variante adaptativa del operador de Clearing para fomentar la diversidad de la Meta-heurística Optimización basada en Enjambre de Partículas (PSO). El objetivo consiste en determinar si la utilización de dicho operador mejora los niveles de exploración del algoritmo PSO incrementando la diversidad de la población y por consiguiente obteniendo mejores soluciones. Para ello, se propone una forma adaptativa para controlar la distancia permitida entre soluciones y de esta forma perturbar soluciones que se encuentren muy cercanas a otra con mejor calidad. Esta idea permite estudiar diferentes alternativas de como perturbar las soluciones seleccionadas, presentando en el trabajo dos enfoques diferentes: basado en la posición actual y en la mejor posición histórica. Además, se detalla un estudio para determinar cuando se aplicará el operador de Clearing para obtener la máxima contribución al proceso de búsqueda aplicado por PSO. La propuesta fue probada en un conjunto de 20 funciones multimodales, donde los resultados mostraron que el operador de clearing mejora la exploración de la Meta-heurística PSO, obteniéndose resultados signi cativamente superiores en cuanto a calidad que el modelo PSO original.

Published: December 2017

En el campo de la orientación vocacional existen pocos instrumentos enfocados en el área de ingeniería, por tal razón, esta investigación se desarrolló en el 2014 con el objetivo de construir una prueba sobre perfiles vocacionales para tres carreras de ingeniería del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR), con base en una muestra de 496 estudiantes y 10 docentes de Electrónica, Computación y Mantenimiento Industrial.

En concordancia con tal propósito, la investigación se realizó en tres fases. En la primera de ellas se aplicó un cuestionario para obtener información sobre el perfil vocacional de las carreras, la cual fue sintetizada para su posterior revisión con expertos.

A partir de los perfiles elaborados, se construyeron los ítems incluidos en la versión preliminar de la “Prueba de tareas, intereses y habilidades en el área de ingeniería, en el ITCR”, la que se aplicó en la segunda fase en conjunto con las escalas de habilidades e intereses del test Self-Directed Search, de Holland.

En la fase final, luego de realizar los análisis psicométricos (estadísticas descriptivas, análisis de confiabilidad y discriminación por ítems, así como análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios), se aplicó la versión revisada de dicha prueba y se seleccionaron los ítems más adecuados para integrar la versión final.

Los resultados mostraron evidencias de validez y confiabilidad en la mayoría de las escalas y mejores indicadores psicométricos que las pruebas de Holland.

Authors: Muhammadi Fauzan
Published: December 2017

Unrecorded marriage becomes legal issues in Indonesia after the government has obliged that marriage must be registered with the Registrar of Marriage Officers or the Office of Religious Affairs. The propnents of this marriage maintain that such marriage is considered valid and legal under Islamic law, although it is not admitted by the state law. The objective of this research is to discuss the legal problems of unrecorded marriage in Islamic law in the Indonesian context and to understand the changes of legal status of unrecorded marriage from the perspective of Islamic legal maxim. The methodology used in this research is descriptive-qualitative analysis. This study shows that according to the perspective of Islamic legal maxim, unrecorded marriage is not restricted but it may fall under the category of forbidden. It is because there are many deviations in a marriage when it is not registered. Thus, this could harm the family lived in the future.Pasca pemerintah mengeluarkan kebijakan untuk mewajibkan pencatatan nikah di hadapan Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA)/Petugas Pencatat Nikah (PPN), nikah Sirrî menjadi isu hukum yang hangat di Indonesia. Permasalahan ini muncul sebagai bagian dari pemahaman masyarakat bahwa pernikahan mereka dianggap valid dan sah secara agama (hukum Islam) namun ‘illegal’ secara hukum positif. Studi ini berusaha untuk mendiskusikan legalitas nikah sirrî dalam hukum islam di Indonesia sekaligus untuk memahami probabilitas perubahan hukum nikah sirrî melalui Kaidah Fikih. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisa deskriptif-kualitatif melalui studi literatur. Hasil dari studi ini adalah dimungkinkannya perubahan hukum nikah sirrî dari yang sebelumnya boleh menjadi haram. Ini berdasarkan fakta banyaknya penyimpangan wewenang pernikahan yang tidak tercatat yang merugikan kehidupan keluarga di masa yang akan datang.
Economic Crisis Influence on FDI and Foreign Inflows in Sub-Saharan Africa Economies
Authors: Odhiambo Scholastica Achieng
Published: December 2017

The global economic crisis affected most of developed economies in North America and Europe which was likely to trigger a trickle-down effects on Sub-Saharan Africa. This effect was characterized by falling exports demand, foreign capital inflows in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign aid inflows and remittances from African immigrants working in the ICs. This paper investigated the effects of economic crisis on FDI and the foreign aid inflows in four countries which include Botswana, Kenya, Malawi and Mozambique. Panel data was used for analysis with OLS, Random Effects and Maximum Likelihood Estimation from 1990-2010 was conducted. The results show that contrary to the expectation that economic crisis had negative effects on FDI inflows in SSA it was the other way round. Economic crisis has a positive impact on FDI inflows. This maybe because of natural resource oriented FDIs in Mozambique and Botswana and low integration in world markets for Kenya and Malawi (Most FDI are primary resource base such as agriculture).
Main Problems of Protection of Shareholder’s Rights in Georgia
Authors: Jinoria Khatuna
Published: December 2017

The development of market and fair competition is based on the protection of individuals’ rights including shareholders’ rights. The interests of investors are ensured by solid legal guarantee. It is however important to keep in mind that the important goal of drawing the attention of investors should not jeopardize the rights of minority shareholders. Shareholders’ rights drew the attention of scholars from the very beginning. Despite the efforts of numerous authors, development of case-law and several legal reforms, the way to solve the difficulty that arose due to contradiction between the interests of those two groups – minority and majority shareholders – is still missing. After “velvet revolution”, in an attempt to create an attractive environment for foreign investors, Georgian legislators went overboard and broke the balance at minority shareholders stake. It is very important to finally find the right balance to protect both groups and also to ensure the normal functioning of the company. The article is focused on the identification of the main problems of the protection of shareholders’ rights in Georgian legislation and court practice. It overviews the legal model of regulation and outlines the directions of the necessary legislative reforms. The deficiencies that violate minority shareholders’ rights on legislation level by setting unclear and unbalanced procedures were sorted out. The article also offers general directions of legal amendments which are necessary to eliminate flaws in Georgian legislation and court practices.
Impact de boisements résineux sur la séquestration du carbone dans les Andes péruviennes : cas des plantations de Pinus patula dans la coopérative de Granja Porcon (Cajamarca), Pérou

Published: December 2017

Dans la foulée de la réforme agraire de 1969, le gouvernement péruvien lança un programme de reboisement dans les Andes. Plus de 20 000 ha furent ainsi boisés en pins dans la région de Cajamarca, dont 8 500 ha dans la coopérative agraire de Granja Porcon. Destinés alors à approvision- ner les paysans en bois et à développer l’ac- tivité économique locale, à enrayer la dégra- dation des sols et des forêts naturelles rési- duelles, ces boisements sont aujourd’hui sollicités pour leur contribution au stockage du carbone. Cette recherche vise à comparer la capacité de séquestration de carbone des pâturages et des plantations de Pinus patula de haute altitude (3 250-3 450 m). À cette fin, deux approches ont été combi- nées : l’échantillonnage des sols (couches holorganiques et 0-100 cm) et de la végéta- tion dans les deux formations végétales (pâturages et boisements de Pinus patula âgés de 17 à 26 ans), sur cambisols déve- loppés sur matériaux volcaniques ; l’établis- sement d’un modèle de croissance de type peuplement, couvrant une plus grande diversité d’âges, de sylvicultures et de ferti- lités. Après vingt ans, la différence entre le carbone stocké dans les écosystèmes fores- tiers et les produits ligneux, d’une part, et en pâturages, d’autre part, s’élève à 154 t/ha, soit environ 7,7 t/ha/an. Cette différence s’explique très largement par la contribution des parties aériennes des arbres. Le reboi- sement en Pinus patula tend à réduire les stocks de carbone du sol par rapport aux for- mations prairiales correspondantes. La réduction est significative (α £ 0,05) dans les 40 premiers centimètres du sol mais la dynamique temporelle suggère que cet effet est temporaire. Le modèle de croissance montre que le stockage de carbone dans les parties aériennes des arbres augmente avec l’âge et la densité des peuplements, ainsi qu’avec la fertilité du site. Il permet aussi d’évaluer la contribution des éclaircies à environ 23 % de la quantité de carbone associée aux parties aériennes des arbres pour une sylviculture classique.
L’éthique éditoriale dans l’intérêt de tous

Comme toute autre revue, Bois et Forêts des Tropiques est exposée à des pratiques non respectueuses de l’intégrité scientifique. Nous observons parfois chez des auteurs des écartsaux normeséthiquesrequisespar l’édition. La pression éprouvée par les chercheurs pour plus publier, plutôt que mieux publier, n’y est sans doute pas tout à fait étrangère.Et comme l’a récemment rappelé Pierre Léna, ancien prési- dent du Comité d’éthique du CNRS, le meilleur garant contre les manquements à l’éthique scientifique demeure la conscience du chercheur. Conscience individuelle, à l’évi- dence, mais aussi conscience collective. Aussi, à la pres- sion de publication qui a désormais envahi le quotidien et la pensée des chercheurs, vient aujourd’hui s’opposer une réaction éthique de la part des institutions de recherche.

Published: December 2017

La connaissance de la durabilité naturelle du bois des essences des zones arides et semi-arides est nécessaire pour décider de leur exploitation future. Ceci permet- trait de réduire l’utilisation des produits  de préservation. La présente recherche a pour but de contribuer à la valorisation qualitative du bois d’une espèce ligneuse répandue en Algérie mais très peu étu- diée. Il s’agit du pistachier de l’Atlas, Pistacia atlantica Desf. C’est un taxon vivace, rustique et endémique qui peut vivre plusieurs siècles en s’adaptant par- faitement aux conditions édaphiques et climatiques contraignantes de son habi- tat. La durabilité naturelle a été évaluée au  moyen  d’éprouvettes  normalisées  de bois d’aubier et de duramen d’arbres provenant de deux régions  différentes  du point de vue bioclimatique en Algérie nord-occidentale. Les tests ont été effec- tués conformément aux normes euro- péennes NE 113 (1996) et NE 350-1 (1994)qui permettent l’évaluation de la durabi- lité du bois contre l’attaque fongique. Les résultats obtenus sur la perte de masse font ressortir deux faits particulièrement intéressants : le duramen et l’aubier des arbres des deux provenances présentent la même durabilité et aucune différence significative n’a été observée entre les deux provenances pour le même type de bois. Ce bois se classe parmi les bois très durables.

Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. est une espèce endémique des zones sahélo-soudanienne et soudano-guinéenne, recherchée pour son bois, son fourrage et son intérêt médi- cinal. Ces usages se traduisent par une mu- tilation répétée des individus, entraînant une dégradation sensible des peuplements naturels. Les structures démographiques  de P. erinaceus selon les zones pédoclima- tiques et l’effet des principales variables environnementales et de l’intensité d’ex- ploitation sur ses effectifs ont été évalués au Niger et au Burkina Faso. Des mesures dendrométriques (diamètre, hauteur to- tale, hauteur du fût, diamètres perpen- diculaires du houppier) sur les individus d’un  diamètre  supérieur  ou égal  à 5 cm  à 1,30 m du sol ont été effectuées dans huit forêts. Dans chacune,  les  mesures  ont été conduites selon deux transects perpendi-culaires. La densité de P. erina- ceus augmente de manière  significative  (P < 0,003) de la zone sahélo-soudanienne à la zone soudano-guinéenne : 1,2 ± 0,7 pied/ha dans la zone sahélo-soudanienne ; 2,6 ± 2,2 pieds/ha dans la zone nord-sou- danienne ; 6,1 ± 4,6 pieds/ha dans la zone sud-soudanienne ; 15,0 ± 1,1 pieds/ha dans la zone soudano-guinéenne. L’analyse des structures en diamètre et en hauteur révèle une augmentation de la fréquence des indi- vidus jeunes suivant le gradient pluviomé- trique. Par contre, l’intensité de l’exploita- tion est plus élevée dans les zones les moins arrosées, où l’espèce s’avère menacée.
EFFECTS OF NANO-SILANE ON THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ORIENTED STRAND LUMBER (OSL)

Published: December 2017

Cette étude s’est penchée sur les effets de la teneur en résine et en composés de nano-silane (NS) sur les panneaux struc- turaux orientés (OSB), un important pro- duit en bois reconstitué. Des panneaux OSB ont été fabriqués avec de la résine d’urée-formaldéhyde (UF) à 8 % et à 10 % (sur poids sec des panneaux), avec appli- cation de NS à deux teneurs en fonction de la teneur en résine UF. Nos résultats montrent que les traitements aux deux teneurs différentes en résine donnent des valeurs très proches pour les modules de rupture et d’élasticité, la flexion au choc et la résistance à la traction. Cela indique que la compacité élevée des lamelles de la matrice OSB est le facteur déterminant des propriétés mécaniques globales des panneaux composites. L’interaction entre NS et résine UF affaiblit significativement ces propriétés dans la plupart des cas de traitement à 10 % NS, alors que le dosage de NS à 20 % est suffisant pour contri- buer activement au processus de collage des lamelles et compense les pertes en partie. L’analyse par cluster indique que les propriétés mécaniques sont générale- ment davantage fonction de la compacité de la matrice composite que de la teneur en résine. Dès lors, l’étude conclut que le NS n’est pas à recommander à l’industrie en raison de ses effets négatifs sur la plu- part des propriétés physiques et méca- niques des panneaux OSB.

Immune Evasion in Pancreatic Cancer: from Mechanisms to Therapy
Authors: Martinez-Bosch Neus , Vinaixa Judith , Navarro Pilar
Published: December 2017

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), the most frequent type of pancreatic cancer, is one of the main unfinished businesses in the biomedical and clinical fields, with still discouraging 5 year survival rates and poor therapy efficiency. PDA abundant desmoplasia has for long played the lead in the mechanisms involved in poor drug performance, being the main source of cytokines and chemokines orchestrating rapid and silent tumor progression and guilty of isolating tumor cells into a extense fibrotic reaction resulting in inefficient drug delivery. However, since immunotherapy was proclaimed the breakthrough of the year back to 2013, the focus in the stroma of pancreatic cancer has interestingly moved from activated fibroblasts to the immune compartment, trying to understand the immunosuppressive factors that play part in the strong immune evasion that characterizes PDA. PDA microenvironment is highly immune-suppressive, being basically composed of T regulatory cells (Tregs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressive cells (MDSCs), which boycott CD8+ T-cell duties in tumor recognition and clearance. Interestingly, preclinical data have highlighted the importance of this immune evasion as the source of resistance to single checkpoint immunotherapies and cancer vaccines and point at pathways inhibiting the immune attack as the key to solve the therapy puzzle. Here, we will discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in PDA immune escape as well as the state of the art of the PDA immunotherapy.
