Published: August 2023

Abstract Passion fruit scab (PFS), which is caused by species of the fungal complex Cladosporium cladosporioides, occurs both in protected environments and in the field. In view of the importance of the passion fruit scab, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different intervals and doses of potassium phosphite in the greenhouse and in the field on the incidence of the disease. To evaluate the best dose of potassium phosphite, three experiments were carried out, two in a greenhouse and one in the field. The best application interval was evaluated in another experiment in a greenhouse. The variables evaluated were the incidence of plants with PFS symptoms (%) and the incidence of defoliated plants (%) in all experiments. The harvested fruits were evaluated for their mass (g), diameter (cm), soluble solids, acidity and chlorophyll content. The present work allowed to conclude that the dose of 0.1% of potassium phosphite was the best to control the passion fruit scab in a greenhouse, the treatment with an interval of 28 days of application showed a lower incidence of scab in seedlings at 35 days after inoculation and that potassium phosphite did not interfere in the quality parameters of fruits and leaves of passion fruit evaluated.

Abstract The objective of this work was to characterize the phenology and the viticultural performance of advanced selections of grapevines resistant to fungal diseases obtained by the Julius Kühn Institute, Institute for Grapevine Breeding Geilweilerhof. The experiment was conducted in three different grape-growing regions of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, in the municipalities of Videira (840 m), São Joaquim (1110 m) and Curitibanos (1000 m) during the seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. The advanced selections evaluated were the reds Gf.2004-043-0010 (Gf.10), Gf.2004-043-0013 (Gf.13), Gf.2004-043-0021(Gf.21) and the white Gf.2004-043-0004 (Gf.04). We found that pyramided loci Rpv1+Rpv3.1 and Run1+Ren3 were present, which confer resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, respectively. The phenological stages events evaluated were budbreak, full bloom, veraison and maturity. The productive variables evaluated were fertility index, number of clusters, cluster weight and yield. Technological maturity parameters were soluble solids, total acidity and pH. To understand the relationship between the variables and whether these relationships changed depending on the cultivation environment the Multi-Trait Genotype–Ideotype Distance Index was used to rank the genotypes based on the analyzed traits. For most selections, the budbreak occurred in the second half of September; full bloom occurred from late October to mid-November; the veraison occurred between the end of December and mid-January; and maturity occurred between the end of January and February. The earliest budbreak occurred in the vineyard located at the highest altitude (1110 m - São Joaquim), while the earliest full bloom, veraison and maturity occurred in the lowest altitude vineyard (840 m – Videira). All selections produced grapes with adequate concentrations of pH and total acidity to produce quality wines. Except for Gf.13, all selections produced grapes with levels of soluble solids suitable to produce quality wines. Based on the Multi-Trait Genotype–Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) the selections Gf.13 and Gf.10 are the most promising genotypes for the Videira region (840 m) and Gf.10 is the most promising genotype for the regions of higher altitude, 1000 m and 1110 m.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT: Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is extremely dangerous to human health and can be found naturally in soils, deposited through industrial waste or phosphate fertilization. In this study, we evaluated the morphological responses of in vitro grown plants of potato in the presence of Cd, and define a procedure for assessing Cd sensitivity of different clones. The potato clone SMIJ461-1 was cultured in the presence of Cd at concentrations of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 90, 110, 120, 140, and 160 µM. Survival, rooting, number and height of shoots, leaf and root counts were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of cultivation. Adverse effects of Cd on the growth of the potato plants, exerted in a concentration-dependent manner, were observed for shoot height, leaf and root counts. Results of this study indicated that Cd concentrations of 0, 45, 90, and 135 µM can be used for future in vitro evaluation of potato clone sensitivity to Cd exposure.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT: This study estimated the growth of body, carcass, primal cuts, edible offal, and feathers of Japanese quail reared in two thermal environments, receiving three nutritional plans, from one to 39 days of age. A total of 576 one-day-old female chicks (Coturnix japonica) with an average initial weight of 7.51±0.75g/bird were evaluated in a completely randomized design with a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement (three nutritional plans × two temperatures). The animals were housed in two climatic chambers, at 25 ºC and 35 ºC, using 12 replications with eight birds per experimental unit. Nutritional plans (NP) were as follows: NP1: one diet from 1-21days and another from 22-39 days; NP2: one diet from 1-14 days and another from 15-39 days; and NP3: a single diet from 1-39 days. The growth curves and growth rates of body, carcass, primal cuts, feathers, and edible offal were evaluated using the Gompertz mathematical model. Quail fed NP3 showed higher growth curves and rates for body, carcass, drumstick +thigh, and feather. There was an effect on maturity rate, which was lowest in quail housed at 35 ºC. Among the animals kept at 25 ºC, the group fed NP3 exhibited the highest growth rate and breast weight. The nutritional plan consisting of a single diet offered from 1 to 39 days, formulated based on the tables for Japanese and European quail, is the most suitable for estimating the growth curves (Gompertz model) of Japanese quail housed at 25 ºC or 35 ºC.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT: Small-scale farmers are essential food suppliers, especially in developing countries, but they face many constraints that limit their productivity and returns. Associating with other farmers (for instance, through cooperatives) has been shown to be a strategy to mitigate these constraints; however, there are limitations in farmers’ participation and commitment to associations. This research explored small-scale farmers’ attitudes and perceptions of associations. This paper considered the district of Cauquenes, a rural area in central Chile. A total of 71 small-scale farmers were surveyed. The data were processed using descriptive, multivariate, and qualitative techniques. The results showed that the farmers had limited knowledge of and experience with associations. They also did not see participation in an association as necessary for improving their business outcomes. They were also reluctant to accept a possible loss in decision-making power or the possibility of being scammed or tricked. The factors underlying farmers’ attitudes toward associations were “Uncertainty of economic benefits” (23.3% of variance), “Technical-economic limitations perception” (15.2%), “Distrust” (10.8%), and “Individualism” (9.8%). These results suggested that policies are needed to improve farmers’ experience with and knowledge of associations, considering the cultural variables that affect distrust and focusing on existing uncertainties. The associative processes need to allow for progressive commitment, expedite tangible results, and provide continuous technical and motivational support.

ABSTRACT: The effect of ultrasound on Biceps femoris muscle tenderness was investigated using a 22 Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) with triplicates at the central point. We evaluated the following independent variables: ultrasound intensity ranging from 11.30 to 33.90 W cm-2 and exposure time between 35 and 205 s. The ultrasound bath’s frequency (80 kHz) and temperature (10 ºC) were the fixed ones. To validate the model, the muscle was treated at the CCRD’s optimized condition (80 kHz, 22.60 W cm-2, 120 s, 10 ºC) evaluated, and compared with the muscle control sample (non-treated). A 22% shear force reduction was observed compared to the control sample (no ultrasound treatment) after 144 h, and stored at 5 ºC. Moreover, a sarcoplasmic calcium concentration increase was noted for ultrasound-treated muscle, probably activating the calpain enzyme system. In contrast, no significant influence (P > 0.05) was observed for pH, color index, lipid oxidation, water holding capacity, and drip loss by ultrasound treatment at the optimized conditions. Therefore, ultrasound application is promising and suitable for improving muscle tenderness without losing meat quality. This study highlighted the ultrasound effect on the tenderness of a less studied muscle (Biceps femoris) by combining short ultrasound exposure (120 s) and an 80 kHz frequency.
Conceição em O Quinze: uma abordagem feminista e decolonial
Authors: Sarmento Elisângela Campos Damasceno , Moura Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de
Published: August 2023

Resumo: Em 1930, Rachel de Queiroz publica a obra O Quinze e descortina uma personagem que rompe com os padrões da mulher sertaneja. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar, sob o método da Análise do Discurso de Linha Francesa, da Ecocrítica e do Ecofeminismo, a abordagem feminista e a decolonialidade que estão presentes nos discursos da personagem Conceição em analogia com discursos coloniais, proferidos por outras personagens femininas da trama. Sendo assim, a ideologia dos discursos da personagem Conceição perpassa a representação da luta da mulher pelo seu espaço na sociedade, norteada pelo respeito à autonomia feminina. Por conseguinte, a Ecocrítica caracteriza-se como uma esfera interdisciplinar que se lança ao desvelamento das relações entre a mulher e o ambiente sociocultural em que vive.

Published: August 2023

Resumen: Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la asistencia a mujeres consideradas “víctimas de trata sexual” en la Comunidad de Madrid, España. Caracterizado por un enfoque cualitativo de la investigación, incluye entrevistas a 26 trabajadoras y educadoras sociales y análisis de documentos. Apuntamos a la existencia de mecanismos de control corporal y sexual, económico y vital, que producen formas de violencia en parte de las mujeres asistidas y de las trabajadoras. Algo posible gracias al nexo existente entre moral conservadora y los enfoques neoliberales en la asistencia a las víctimas de trata sexual. Urge reflexionar críticamente sobre estas prácticas para una asistencia que respete la voluntad de las personas implicadas y evite reproducir los mecanismos de control y violencia que trata de combatir.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the media content produced about vaccination against covid-19 aimed at the older population in Brazil. Method A desk research study based on the analysis of 19 articles published by the newspapers Estadão, Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo and GAÚCHAZH between December 2020 and September 2021. The data were processed by the Iramuteq software, analyzed using Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and interpreted by Content Analysis. Results The corpus yielded five thematic classes. These classes revealed the dissemination of information about vaccination against covid-19 for older people as a necessary measure for the health of this population, justifying the intense reporting of news on the vaccination campaign. The articles highlighted the organization of immunization policies, as well as their benefits for the older population, especially institutionalized individuals. In addition, the vaccine emerged as a key element in the fight to contain the spread of the coronavirus, increasing the protection of older residents of long-term care facilities and, undeniably, reducing the mortality of this population. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of disseminating health promotion policies across a wide variety of communication channels, allowing access to health information by all audiences and reinforcing the urgency of collective care practices offered to older people, including those residing in institutions.

Abstract Objective To determine the association between nutritional status according to different cutoff points for body mass index (BMI) and the occurrence of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCD) in older people. Methods A cross-sectional study of 365 older people was conducted using a questionnaire collecting information on health variables, body weight and height measurements. The association between classification of nutritional status using BMI and occurrence of NCD was estimated by the Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI). Results As measured by the different BMI classification criteria, nutritional status varied: for normal weight (24.9-32.3%), excess weight (57.3-73.2%) and for underweight (1.9-15.3%). According to the Lipschitz classification, underweight was associated with lower occurrence of osteoarticular diseases (OR=0.38; 95%CI: 0.15-0.93) and cardiometabolic diseases (OR=0.42; 95%CI: 0.19- 0.94); while overweight was associated with higher occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases (OR=2.26; 95%CI: 1.30-3.93). According to the World Health Organization criteria, underweight was associated with lower occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases (OR=0.09; 95%CI: 0.01-0.61), overweight with lower occurrence of neuropsychological diseases (OR=0. 47; 95%CI: 0.26-0.87), while obese status was associated with higher occurrence of osteoarticular (OR=1.95; 95%CI: 1.08-3.52) and cardiometabolic (OR=3.02; 95%CI: 1.54-5.93) diseases. According to the Pan American Health Organization criteria, underweight was associated with lower occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases (OR=0.45; 95%CI: 0.22-0.91) and obese status with higher occurrence of osteoarticular (OR=1, 91; 95%CI: 1.16-3.15), cardiometabolic (OR=2.58; 95%CI: 1.36-4.85) and respiratory (OR=1.96; 95%CI: 1.16-3.16) diseases. Conclusion The classification criteria for BMI were negatively (underweight) and positively (excess weight) associated with the occurrence of NCD, exhibiting a stronger association when the overweight classification was differentiated from the obese classification.

Métodos Estudo transversal, realizado com 365 idosos de ambos os sexos, utilizando-se um questionário contendo variáveis sobre saúde e medidas de peso e estatura. A associação entre classificação do estado nutricional pelo IMC e ocorrência de DCNT foi estimada pelo Odds Ratio (OR) e Intervalos de 95% de Confiança (IC95%). Resultados A partir dos critérios de classificação do IMC, o estado nutricional variou entre: adequado (24,9%-32,3%), excesso de peso (57,3%-73,2%) e baixo peso (1,9%-15,3%). Segundo a classificação do estado nutricional por Lipschitz, o baixo peso se associou à menor ocorrência de doenças osteoarticulares (OR=0,38; IC95%:0,15-0,93) e cardiometabólicas (OR=0,42; IC95%:0,19-0,94); o sobrepeso se associou à maior ocorrência de doenças cardiometabólicas (OR=2,26; IC95%:1,30-3,93). Segundo critérios da Organização Mundial de Saúde, o baixo peso se associou à menor ocorrência de doenças cardiometabólicas (OR=0,09; IC95%:0,01-0,61), sobrepeso à menor ocorrência de doenças neuropsicológicas (OR=0,47; IC95%:0,26-0,87), obesidade à maior ocorrência de doenças osteoarticulares (OR=1,95; IC95%:1,08-3,52) e cardiometabólicas (OR=3,02; IC95%: 1,54-5,93). Pelos critérios da Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde, o baixo peso se associou à menor ocorrência de doenças cardiometabólicas (OR=0,45; IC95%:0,22-0,91), obesidade à maior ocorrência de doenças osteoarticulares (OR=1,91; IC95%:1,16-3,15), cardiometabólicas (OR=2,58; IC95%:1,36-4,85) e respiratórias (OR=1,96; IC95%:1,16-3,16). Conclusão Os critérios de classificação do IMC associaram-se negativamente (baixo peso) e positivamente (excesso de peso) à ocorrência de DCNT, verificando-se maior força na associação quando se diferenciou sobrepeso de obesidade.

Activismo o garantismo en el proceso contencioso administrativo colombiano
Authors: Ureña Fernando Martínez , Mejía Dimaro Alexis Agudelo
Published: August 2023

Resumen En el derecho procesal se discute sobre el rol que debe desempeñar el juez dentro del juicio. Por una parte, un juez activo; por otra, un juez garantista que deja el protagonismo a las partes, considerando que de esa forma se materializa la igualdad y la imparcialidad. Por esta razón, se formuló como problema de investigación: ¿Cuál es el sistema procesal y el concepto de finalidad del proceso que define el rol del juez en el proceso contencioso administrativo colombiano? Se propone analizar, desde el interior de las instituciones procesales, las cargas y deberes del juez y de las partes, partiendo de la hipótesis de que no existen linderos que permitan definir con precisión la naturaleza del sistema procesal y el concepto de finalidad de proceso al que debe acudir el juez para el ejercicio de su función. Para ello se adelantó un estudio exploratorio-analítico de las normas aplicables. El resultado de tal análisis es que el rol del juez en el proceso contencioso administrativo no lo define ni el sistema procesal ni los conceptos de la finalidad del proceso, sino que se debe a la naturaleza jurídica de la pretensión o medio del control.

La calidad de las interacciones entre trabajadores, residentes, usuarios y familiares fue crucial para el desarrollo de la PCI. Se identificaron barreras como falta de estructura organizacional, sobrecarga de profesionales, debilidad en la provisión de educación permanente interprofesional y predominio del modelo biomédico de atención. Las acciones colaborativas mediadas por comunicación informal son el dispositivo más utilizado para el cuidado compartido.
Discharge coefficients to be used in inlet hydraulics
Authors: Gómez Manuel , Tellez-Alvarez Jackson , Russo Beniamino
Published: August 2023

Urban pluvial floods can be produced or exacerbated by an insufficient density of inlets or by their poor hydraulic efficiency. Therefore, proper consideration of the hydraulic performance of inlets is essential to guarantee the correct functioning of urban drainage systems during heavy storm events. Recent advances in computational analysis in the field of hydrodynamics modelling allow the use of the well-known concept of dual drainage for design and planning purposes by simulating flow transfers between the surface layer (streets) and underground layers (sewers) through a proper hydraulic characterisation of inlet efficiency. Powerful commercial software packages allow simulations of flow transfer and use different approaches and formulas. Many of these approaches include the possibility of treating a sewer inlet as an orifice. In this context, this paper presents a methodology to obtain orifice discharge coefficients for three inlets previously tested at the hydraulics laboratory of the Technical University of Catalonia. Discharge coefficients of 0.18–0.58 were obtained for Froude numbers of 1.12–4.40, quite far from the usual recommended values. The proposed procedure can also be applied to non-tested grates.
Трансформация социальных государств в постсоветских странах: научная дискуссия и исследовательская повестка

Published: August 2023

В данной статье представлено критическое осмысление научной дискуссии об особенностях, факторах и результатах трансформации моделей государства благосостояния на постсоветском пространстве. Отправной точкой является монография Линды Дж. Кук, посвященная посткоммунистическим государствам благосостояния и основанная на адаптации классической типологии Эспинг-­Андерсена. Привлекая исследовательскую литературу по социальной политике, анализу политического курса и политической науки, мы показываем основные результаты исследований и актуальные дискуссии. Что способствует реформам социальной политики, их успешной реализации или сопротивлению, какова роль заин­тересованных групп, государственных и негосударственных акторов и каков эффект социальных реформ для общества? Мы показываем дискуссию о важности динамики политического режима и сокращения возможностей для представительства интересов, а также изменения отношений между федеральным и региональными правительствами. Эти исследования позволяют сделать вывод о механизмах создания и воспроизводства неравенства не только между различными социальными группами, но и между регионами. Анализ структуры групп интересов и их свой­ств позволяет продемонстрировать роль негосударственных и международных акторов в инициировании социальных реформ. Мы обращаемся к дискуссии об эффекте колеи и инерции институтов для объяснения результатов трансформации государства благосостояния. Предложены три направления в актуальной исследовательской повестке. Во-первых, мы указываем на необходимость анализа региональных особенностей обеспечения социального благополучия для понимания национальной модели государства благосостояния. Во-вторых, подчеркиваем важность изучения дилеммы недемократических правительств, которая сводится к необходимости поддерживать благосостояние общества без риска расширения политических требований прав и свобод. В-третьих, мы задаемся вопросом об адекватности классических теорий государства благосостояния для анализа социальной политики в условиях сокращающейся политической конкуренции и активных военных действий.

“Perrotta-Marciano questionnaire on the grade of awareness of one’s deviant and criminal behaviors” (ADCB-Q-2) and the “Criminal Spectre”: Development, Updates, Regulation, and Validation of a new psychometric instrument
Authors: Giulio Perrotta , Antonio Marciano , Domenico Piccininno
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Absent in the literature is the category of “criminal spectre” as a macro container that includes all those deviant, antisocial, and psychopathic behaviors, thereby generating confusion and interpretative distortions, as in the case of antisociality and psychopathy among them considered in some cases as synonyms. Methods: Updated the Perrotta-Marciano Questionnaire on the state of awareness of one’s deviant and criminal behaviors (ADCB-Q), from 30 items to 40 items and with 2 subscales to differentiate deviant from antisocial behaviors (ADCB-Q-2), to make comparisons with the Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (DBVS) and the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R). Results: Statistical analysis showed that the second edition of the test has a well-defined and stable construct (R = 0.999; p ≤ 0.001), and is positively correlated with the other 2 compared tests, the DBVS (R = 0.943) and the PCL-R (R = 0.966). A comparison of comparable items returned an R = 0.999 with a 99.9% equal value. Conclusion: Defining the “criminal spectre” as a dysfunctional pattern consisting of a clinically relevant cross-cutting condition in which the subject manifests deviant, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, and psychopathic behaviors, the Perrotta-Marciano Questionnaire on the State of Awareness of One’s Deviant and Criminal Behaviors (ADCB-Q-2) is a valid, efficient, effective and stable psychometric tool to identify in behavioral profiles all the behaviors that fall within the “criminal spectrum”.
Recombinant retroviral expression vectors based on pLXSN that encode EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, and ERBB4 v1
Authors: J Riese II David

Recombinant retroviruses are commonly used to direct the ectopic expression of genes in infected cells.There are two significant advantages to this approach.Following infection of the target cell, the recombinant retroviral genome is reverse-transcribed and subsequently integrated into the host cell genome, enabling stable ectopic gene expression.Recombinant retroviral expression vectors typically contain a drug-resistance gene, allowing the selection and maintenance of stably infected cells. A popular recombinant retroviral expression vector is pLXSN.This plasmid contains recombinant long-terminal repeat (LTR) sequences to permit the packaging of the RNA transcript into infectious recombinant retrovirus particles.The plasmid also includes a short poly-cloning region with unique EcoRI, HpaI, XhoI, and BamHI restriction enzyme sites.This region lies downstream of the 5' LTR and truncated retroviral gag sequence, thereby enabling the expression of a gene cloned into the poly-cloning region.An SV40 promoter lies downstream of the poly-cloning region; this promoter drives constitutive expression of a neomycin resistance gene (NeoR).These elements enable selection for stable infection of the recombinant retroviruses using the antibiotic G418.Finally, the plasmid contains a bacterial origin of replication and an ampicillin resistance gene to permit plasmid propagation in standard laboratory strains ofE. coli(DH5alpha, DH10B, and related strains). Here we describe the construction of pLXSN derivatives that contain the humanEGFR,ERBB2,ERBB3, andERBB4cDNAs.These cDNAs encode receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).The EGFR and ERBB2 RTKs are well-validated drivers of many types of human malignancies.However, the roles that the ERBB3 and ERBB4 RTKs play in human malignancies are more poorly defined.Thus, these recombinant retrovirus constructs permit us to study the function of these ERBB receptors, particularly ERBB3 and ERBB4, in various contexts.

War on women
Authors: Andrew Daniel
Published: August 2023

South African men have declared war on women, a statement expressing the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). Some argue that such a statement is unfair towards men who still respect the right to health and safety of women in society, while others argue that the roots of this war find their basis in disaster patriarchy. Disaster patriarchy is a process whereby men exploit a crisis to reassert control and dominance, erase women’s rights, women lose their safety, economic power, autonomy, and education and are pushed to the frontlines unprotected. The question is, what does the term “war” have to do with the fight against GBV; how does it find its roots in patriarchy; what can be done to bring this war to an end; and what are the practical theological tools needed to fight and end this war? The study is done from a Classical Pentecostal perspective, focusing specifically on the position of the Apostolic Faith Mission on war, their deliberations on patriarchy and GBV, and what role Pentecostal congregations can play to end this war. The study offers an analysis of patriarchy that serves as a basis for the war on women, engagement with the national GBV plan and its implementation by religious actors, especially Pentecostal congregations, and proposes a humanizing pneumatological approach that recognizes the human rights of those affected by the war and how to strengthen their agency and resilience. The study follows a comparative literature approach and is done using an interdisciplinary lens, consulting literature from the fields of theology, sociology, law and philosophy.

Sensor fusion is a method of processing data from raw data to meaningful outputs and getting quality output.
Architectures used in sensor fusion are chosen depending on the application. The sensor fusion architecture that is frequently used today was found by the directors of the United States Joint Laboratory (JDL). Sensor fusion has been realized with this architecture. Using the axial data of a car, inertial movements such as acceleration, deceleration and stationary are classified as controlled. At the classification point, low level and high-level methods are used in the sensor fusion application. By pre-processing the received data, joint high-quality data was obtained with complementary sensor modeling, and high-level sensor fusion methods were used after recording the obtained data. Artificial intelligence algorithms are preferred for high-level sensor fusion. Various algorithms such as "Decision Tree", "Gradient Boosting", "Multi-Layer Perceptron", "Regression Algorithm" have been used. Real-time acquired data is stored after preprocessing and raw data fusion. The stored data has created a high-level sensor fusion at the point of decision making with supervised learning artificial intelligence algorithms
Three-dimensional topography of the sediment/basement interface in the Tokyo metropolitan area, central Japan
Authors: Koketsu Kazuki , Higashi Sadanori
Published: August 2023

An extensive seismic refraction experiment was conducted in the Tokyo metropolitan area, central Japan, to reveal the three-dimensional basin structure in this area. Sixty-three explosions were fired over 14 years and more than 2000 travel times were picked for several phases.

For our inversion, the basement is divided into two homogeneous regions where the sediment is assumed to be of uniform velocity. The interface separating the sediment and basement is then parameterized by bi-cubic B-splines and a smoothness constraint is imposed to avoid oscillatory artifacts in the solution. The relative weight of the constraint to data residuals is determined by minimizing Akaike's Bayesian information criterion. About 1500 travel times of refracted P waves are inverted tomographically, and the interface shape determined agrees well with the results of other geophysical surveys such as borehole measurements and gravimetric observations. The basement velocities in the northern and southern regions are 5.7 and 5.4 km/sec, respectively.

Previous two-dimensional analyses suggested there is a 4.5 km/sec layer in the uppermost part of the southern basement, but we ignore it for simplicity so that estimated depths are likely underestimated by 1 ∼ 2 km in the southern region. Nevertheless, this study provides the first detailed image of the basin structure in the area, which will help strong motion and earthquake hazard studies as additional constraints.
Active Listeners

In three essays I discuss how music prompts active engagement from consumers. The first essay is a conceptual model of consumer engagement with music, which includes autobiographical music experiences and centralizes the construct of psychological ownership to capture consumer feelings that music is "theirs." The second essay empirically tests how psychological ownership may impact consumer sharing behaviors and word-of-mouth for "their" music when such music is co-opted by brands. The third essay investigates the effects of music being used by brands in corporate sociopolitical activism (CSA) messaging. In four studies we examine the links between the music played, the emotions elicited by the music, the cognitive flexibility exhibited in response to the issue, and the consumer agreement with the brand stance. Together, these three essays add to the literature by iterating several complex antecedents of consumer music processing, such as psychological ownership for the music. These essays explore much broader outcomes due to brand use of music than have yet been addressed in the marketing literature. These include the potential for brand use of music to prompt reactions related to the music itself, outcomes related to identities individuals hold or wish to hold, and outcomes related to opinions on divisive sociopolitical issues.

Workplace bullying has consistently been observed to have negative impacts on employee well-being by researchers. In the field of bullying research, there hasn't been a study that integrates mediators and explains the nexus between the many different factors that have been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of bullying on workers' performance at hotels in North Cyprus and the mediating role played by emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. Data were randomly collected from 442 hotel employees, including those from five- and four-star hotels on the island. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis. Furthermore, the heuristic model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). According to the results, workplace bullying significantly and negatively influences an employee's performance. Secondly, emotional intelligence and psychological resilience positively mediated the relationship between bullying and performance among TRNC hotel employees. More cross-cultural and longitudinal research is needed to determine if these mediators have an enduring effect over time and across different cultures.

This dataset is the result of an experiment conducted in nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and published as the book "A Better World for Migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean". This project is joint work between the IDB and UNDP. The databases contain data collected for the impact evaluation of an intervention designed to explore which mechanisms are more effective in changing people's beliefs and attitudes toward migrants. The experiment was conducted in nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and consisted of two video interventions. The first video, the informative video, aimed to correct misinformation about the impact of migration by providing accurate information about the size of the migrant population and its characteristics. The second video, an emotive video, intended to appeal to the emotions and empathy of the local population.

O Brasil é um dos países em que pessoas homossexuais mais são mortas em contextos de violência (GASTALDI et al., 2021), contudo, tais crimes frequentemente são noticiados na mídia de forma a apagar os agentes dessas violências. Neste artigo, verificamos três manchetes que noticiaram um crime violento e homofóbico ocorrido em Florianópolis (SC), em 2021, objetivando identificar o modo de retratação linguística dos participantes, se por meio de agência ou de apassivação. Para tanto, utilizamos como referencial teórico a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY, 1994) e a Transitividade (SILVA, 2019) para analisar as estruturas linguísticas empregadas, e a Análise de Discurso Crítica (FAIRCLOUGH, 1989; 2003; 2008) para compreender a conjuntura da homofobia no Brasil e o modo como o discurso midiático opera as crenças relacionadas a esse tema. Encontramos como resultado que as manchetes selecionadas demonstram a apassivação ao evidenciar a vítima e sua orientação sexual, obliterando os agentes do crime e a motivação homofóbica deste. Consideramos que a mídia se furta do papel de denunciar os agentes da violência e proteger os direitos humanos ao utilizar as estruturas linguísticas analisadas, funcionando como mais uma instância que corrobora o discurso homofóbico e de injustiça, pelos quais a comunidade LGBTQIA+ sofre no Brasil.
