ASSESSMENT OF THE PROSPECTS FOR APPLYING THE RESOURCE APPROACH TO SOLID MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT (ON THE MATERIALS OF THE NOVOSIBIRSK REGION)
Authors: Usikova O. V. , Petrova N. V. , Fedorova A. V.
Published: June 2021

The ever-growing consumption of resources due to global population growth and dynamic development of industrial production led to the increase in the volume of waste generated, which in turn led to the reduction of areas suitable for disposal, and gave rise to the problem of efficient disposal and recycling of waste. In this situation, society needs to direct its development in a more environmentally safe direction and review existing production and consumption models. Solid municipal waste can become the main link in the chain of interrelated factors that need to be considered together with other global problems, such as the rational use of natural resources, since it is a rich source of secondary resources, a “free” energy carrier, due to the fact that garbage is a renewable carbon-containing raw material. However, such resource material is used in the most inefficient way — it is buried, which creates additional costs for cleaning up areas contaminated with waste. In this regard, the article proposes to test the resource approach in waste Management on a specific economic entity, namely, on the example of the Novosibirsk region. In particular, the authors consider the existing volumes of solid household waste in the region, typical problems, and opportunities to solve them using the resource approach.
Universal Design as a Paradigm for Providing Health Interventions for Older Adults 2: Case Study: Brandy Taylor’s Mug
Authors: Snyder Peter J.
Published: June 2021

Hand strength and dexterity begin to diminish as we age, and holding everyday items like a traditional coffee mug can become difficult. The inability to properly grasp a mug of hot liquid is a common cause of burn injuries for the elderly. Brandy mitigated this home safety risk by designing a new mug that, although comfortable for elderly hands to hold, would be a pleasure for anyone to enjoy.

Ce numéro est le premier des quatre numéros de la revue Les Annales de QPES consacrés au Xe colloque de Questions de Pédagogies dans l’Enseignement Supérieur (QPES) qui s’est tenu à Brest en juin 2019. Ce colloque dont le thème était « (Faire) coopérer pour (faire) apprendre ? » a suscité moult réflexions sur le pourquoi et le comment coopérer et collaborer entre nous, avec les étudiants, à l’intérieur de l’institution et entre les institutions.

Cet intérêt pour la coopération et la collaboration s’inscrit tout à fait dans les courants sociocognitif et socioconstructivisme sur lesquels s’appuient en grande partie les transformations pédagogiques actuelles. Ces deux courants considèrent en effet que l’apprenant construit et modifie ses connaissances à travers des conflits sociocognitifs, et que ce cheminement n’est possible que si l’apprenant est actif intellectuellement, qu’il interagit avec les autres et qu’il agit sur son milieu (Ménard et Saint-Pierre, 2014).

En 2018, Hagg et Gabrielsonn ont mis au jour différentes périodes marquantes de l’histoire de la pédagogie en contexte entrepreneurial. Alors que durant les années 1980, les travaux de recherche étaient centrés sur l’enseignant, la décennie 1990 a été le théâtre de préoccupations sur le processus d’apprentissage. Par contre, au tournant de l’an 2000, les efforts se sont concentrés davantage sur le contexte d’apprentissage des formations. Enfin, dans les années 2010, l’attention des chercheurs a porté davantage sur la personne apprenante. Cette dernière phase mettait en valeur l’approche constructiviste, les interactions entre l’apprenant et son environnement et, finalement, les mesures d’impact des programmes de formation à l’entrepreneuriat sur le développement des étudiants.

À partir d’une analyse de co-citations entre les années 1990 et 2014, Loi et coll. (2016) font ressortir plusieurs interrogations récurrentes qui ratissent ce domaine d’expertise : quelles sont les définitions et les tendances à long terme de l’éducation entrepreneuriale ? Quelles sont les intentions entrepreneuriales de ceux et celles qui participent tant aux formations courtes que longues ? Comment comprendre l’apprentissage entrepreneurial des entrepreneurs et leurs processus de cognition ? Comment développer une pédagogie entrepreneuriale spécifique ? Comment évaluer les différents impacts des formations sur les résultats d’apprentissage ?

Published: June 2021

Research on the isolation, toxicity test, antimalarial test, and identification of the active compound from the ethyl acetate fraction of Stylissa massa sponge from Oenggae waters, Rote Island, has been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the antimalarial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of the Stylissa massa sponge. Isolation was carried out by the extraction method using a mixed solvent of methanol: dichloromethane of 3: 2 (v/v), then the extract was partitioned in a solvent mixture of ethyl acetate: water of 1: 2 (v/v). The ethyl acetate extract obtained was separated by column chromatography using the gradient polarity system method. The toxicity test of each fraction was carried out by the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method, and the antimalarial test was carried out by the haematin polymerization inhibition method. Identification of compounds from the active fraction in the antimalarial test was carried out using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). The extraction yield was 1.14 g (0.23%) of the ethyl acetate extract in the form of a dark brownish-yellow oily solid. Separation by column chromatography resulted in 15 fractions. Toxicity test results showed the four most active fractions with LC50 values, which are very promising for new drug discovery. The IC50 value in the antimalarial activity test of the four fractions indicated that the Stylissa massa sponge ethyl acetate extract was more active than the standard chloroquine compound (115 μg/mL). The LC-MS analysis indicates that fraction 11 contains two compounds that have been reported, and 1 compound is unknown. In contrast, fraction 14 indicates that it contains three compounds that have been reported and one unknown compound.
Analysis of Leakage Current and Insulator Resistivity for Quality Assurance of Medium Voltage Network Polymer Insulators Alumina - SiO2 in Tropical Climate Simulator Room
Authors: Utami Agnes Manik Sari , Syakur Abdul , Hermawan Hermawan
Published: June 2021

The tropical climate of Indonesia, which has moderately high rainfall, has an impact on the output of outdoor insulators. The presence of chemical particles, pollen, and salt in the air will bind to the insulating material's outer surface and settle, resulting in crystallization that allows the insulating material's surface roughness to increase. One of the insulators that are being produced is an insulator made of epoxy resin. The injection of fillers is used to further improve the durability of the outdoor epoxy resin insulators installed in tropical climatic conditions. Epoxy resin from bisphenol A-epichlorohydrin and polyaminoamide combined with silane, alumina, and SiO2 is used as research materials. The parameters examined were leakage current and resistance to insulation. The use of silane as a hardener will also improve the resistivity on the surface of the insulator, which makes it more difficult to flow or reduces the leakage current. Alumina is well-known for being a solid heat and voltage insulator. The addition of SiO2 to the epoxy resin insulating material increases the insulator's mechanical strength in the form of tensile and compressive strength. With fluctuations in temperature and humidity, the artificial tropical environment is replicated in a test chamber. The value of the leakage current increases with an increase in temperature and humidity. The correlation between air temperature and humidity and insulation resistance is inversely proportional, the higher the temperature applied to the insulator, the lower the insulator resistivity. The same refers to the relationship between air humidity and resistance to insulation. The higher the humidity applied to the insulator, the lower the insulator resistivity. At a test voltage of 11 kV, a humidity of 60%, and a temperature variation of 25oC, the leakage current of epoxy resin insulators is up to 9.2 uA lower than in a factory-made SiR insulator. The leakage current and insulator resistivity's number is already in the good and protected range such that the insulator can be used and reproduce.
Chronic mucocutaneous Candidiasis caused by a novel STAT1 mutation: a report of 4 patients
Authors: Garkaby Jenny , Scott Ori
Published: June 2021

Background: Chronic mucocutaneous Candidiasis (CMCC) is characterized by recurrent or persistent fungal infections of the skin, nails, and oral and genital mucosae. There are several underlying genetic causes for CMCC, with mutations in Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-1 (STAT1) accounting for the majority of cases.

Aim: To broaden the genotypic spectrum of CMCC caused by STAT1 mutations.

Methods: We evaluated a young patient and her family with CMCC. Immune workup and targeted gene sequencing were performed.

Results: The proband presented at 7 years of age with persistent oral thrush. Immune evaluation revealed her cellular and humoral immunity to be within normal range. Given that her family history was significant for oral lesions in father, siblings, and paternal family members, STAT1 gene sequencing was performed. A novel heterozygous missense c.G799A, predicting a p. Ala267Thr amino acid change within the coiled-coil domain, was identified in our patient and 3 of her family members.

Conclusion: Gain-of-function mutations in STAT1 have been associated with a variety of phenotypes, ranging from isolated CMCC to severe fatal combined immunodeficiency, mycobacterial infections, autoimmune disorders, as well as malignancy and aneurysms. Here, we describe a novel STAT1 mutation, c.G799A, resulting in a very mild phenotype of isolated CMCC in 4 members of one kindred.

Statement of novelty: We describe 4 patients with a mild phenotype of CMCC caused by a novel STAT1 heterozygous mutation.

Processo judicial e poder político: práticas inquisitoriais no julgamento de condenação de Joana D’Arc
Authors: TOLENTINO C. C. , SILVA Paulo Eduardo A.
Published: June 2021

Records on the trial and sentencing for heresy of French warrior Joan of Arc dating to 1431 have been studied by a variety of fields. The present work explores the primary sources and several of these studies in the aim of analyzing the political significance of the forms adopted during the trial. From a perspective poised between the history of law and procedural law, the article clarifies aspects of the practical functioning of the Roman Canon inquisitorial procedure at the end of the Middle Ages, and, more widely, the phenomenon of the capillarization of the political power by means of the production of truth. The article concludes that, although Joan of Arc’s trial was clearly politically motivated, several of its dimensions correspond to the procedural practices of the time, leading us to an understanding that the influence of power over trials does not necessarily manifest in a direct violation of procedural rules, but rather in their very design and the ways in which they are put into operation.
Detours on a Winter’s Journey: Schubert’s Winterreise in Nineteenth-Century Concerts
Authors: Loges Natasha
Published: June 2021

This article traces the concert performance history of Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise, D. 911, during the second half of the nineteenth century. It begins by presenting a two-part theoretical framework, according to which the songs are understood as ontologically related to Friedrich Schlegel’s idea of the fragment, while the theoretical and practical treatments by musicians, critics, and scholars are viewed in relation to Walter Benjamin’s contrasting ideas of the “collector” and the “allegorist.” It then examines the practices of key figures such as the baritone Julius Stockhausen, a pioneer in lieder performance, and his circle, including Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Their performance and programming strategies are then contextualized against a larger statistical survey of the Winterreise songs in public concerts within the Austro-German realm, drawing on surviving concert programs and press reports. This shows that, in performance, individual songs were treated as fragments to be reassembled in many ways, inviting fresh interpretive possibilities on the part of listeners. Further contextualization is provided by a brief survey of Winterreise in print and as discussed in critical writing, revealing that here too there existed different approaches to the work as “whole” and “fragment.” Ultimately, I argue that the coherence of such cycles is not intrinsic but constructed over time by multiple actors—performers, listeners, publishers, and critics—and that an awareness of this creates new possibilities for the understanding and performance of multipart works.
The role of triiodothyronine (T3) and T3/free thyroxine (fT4) in glucose metabolism during pregnancy: the Ma’anshan birth cohort study
Authors: Zhu Beibei , Han Yan , Deng Fen , Huang Kun , Yan Shuangqin , Hao Jiahu , Zhu Peng , Tao Fangbiao
Published: June 2021

Objectives

Compared with other thyroid markers, fewer studies have explored the associations between triiodothyronine (T3), T3/free thyroxine (fT4) and glucose abnormality during pregnancy. Thus, we aimed to: (i) examine the associations of T3 and T3/fT4 with glucose metabolism indicators and (ii) evaluate, in the first trimester, the performance of the two markers as predictors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk.

Methods

Longitudinal data from 2723 individuals, consisting of three repeated measurements of T3 and fT4, from the Man’anshan birth cohort study (MABC), China, were analyzed using a time-specific generalized estimating equation (GEE). The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) – area under the curve (AUC) and Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to assess the discrimination and calibration of prediction models.

Results

T3 and T3/fT4 presented stable associations with the level of fasting glucose, glucose at 1h/2 h during pregnancy. T3 and T3/fT4 in both the first and second trimesters were positively associated with the risk of GDM, with the larger magnitude of association observed in the second trimester (odds ratio (OR) = 2.50, 95% CI = 1.95, 3.21 for T3; OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.07, 1.12 for T3/fT4). T3 ((AUC) = 0.726, 95% CI = 0.698, 0.754) and T3/fT4 (AUC = 0.724, 95% CI = 0.696, 0.753) in the first trimester could improve the performance of the prediction model; however, the overall performance is not good.

Conclusion

Significant and stable associations of T3, T3/fT4 and glucose metabolism indicators were documented. Both T3 and T3/fT4 improve the performance of the GDM predictive model.
Thermochemical properties of energy crop species planted in Slovakia

Published: June 2021

In the last decades, a new phenomenon has arisen in connection with temporary or permanent non-use of land for agricultural activity, namely the cultivation of energy crops in these localities, because of growing demand for biomass as a fuel. Farmers are expected to sell energy crops and the fuels they produce, both at home and in the surrounding countries. To choose economically efficient energy crop species to cultivate, the thermochemical parameters of the crop should be used to support decision-making process of farmers. This paper summarizes the results of small-scale laboratory tests of three energy crop species planted in Slovakia – Sida hermaphrodita, Arundo donax, and Miscanthus × giganteus – used for determination of thermal and chemical properties of the energy crop species to evaluate their suitability for energy purposes. The most suitable species for energy purposes was found to be Miscanthus × giganteus with higher heating value of 19.6 MJ/kg, lower heating value of 14.8 MJ/kg (at moisture content of 17%), and ash mass of 2.67% dry mass (d.m.). From a lignin mass and activation energy point of view, the most suitable for energy purposes was Arundo donax, with a lignin mass of 20.5% d.m. and an activation energy of 124.2 kJ/mol.

Published: June 2021

The density, swelling, and fungal decay of poplar (Populus deltoides) wood treated with pistachio resin (PR) obtained from Pistacia atlantica were investigated. The white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor and the brown-rot fungus Coniophora puteana were used. Methanolic solutions of PR with different concentrations of 1%, 6%, 12%, and 15% were used as the preservative solution. Wood samples were saturated by two different vacuum/pressure (V/P) and dipping methods. The density, volumetric swelling of treated wood, and their mass loss (ML) caused by fungal decay were determined. The density of treated species increased to 15.4% and 5.8% for V/P and dipping methods, respectively, at 15% PR concentration. The volumetric swelling of the treated samples was reduced to 24.5% and 16.8% for V/P and dipping procedure, respectively, at 15% PR concentration. The mass loss of treated samples after exposure to T. versicolor was less than the untreated one (17.4% for V/P and 22.6% for dipping methods at 15% PR concentration). The results showed the better performance of V/P treatment in promotion of wood durability against fungal decay than the dipping method.
Mi’kmaq / Non-Mi’kmaq Conversational Turn-Taking
Authors: Inglis Stephanie
Published: June 2021

Turn-taking during verbal interactions is a linguistic and cultural pattern that regulates who is to speak during a conversation and when. Conversational turn-taking includes the length of time that occurs after the speaker says something and before the person spoken to responds (Ryan & Forrest, 2019). Within the academy at this current time of 2020, diverse knowledge holders, both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous, are actively trying to share and merge knowledge epistemologies across culture and across language. Though sharing is now actively taking place much more frequently between these two groups of scholars within Canadian universities, full comprehension of what is being communicated is not always realized by both parties. This is not due to any fault on the researchers’ part, but because many times two turn-taking paradigms are being used in a conversation instead of one.
Generative Learning and the Making of Ethical Space: Indigenizing Forest School Teacher Training in Wabanakik
Authors: Koller Katalin Eve , Rasmussen Kay
Published: June 2021

This reflection on community-driven research in process is written from the perspective of graduate student co-researchers collaborating with Wabanaki community co-researchers on a pilot project involving a Wabanaki and a non-Indigenous organization. Three Nations Education Group Inc. (TNEGI) represents three Wabanaki schools and communities in Northeast Turtle Island. The Child and Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) offers a Forest and Nature School Practitioner Course (FNSPC) for educators seeking to operate forest schools. These diverse organizations have developed a pilot FNSPC training for a group of TNEGI educators, with the purpose of Indigenizing the FNSPC. This is necessary to address the Eurocentric forest and nature school practices in Canada, which often fail to recognize the herstories, presence, rights, and diversity of Indigenous Peoples and places. TNEGI educators envision a land-based pedagogy that centers Wabanaki perspectives and merges Indigenous and Western knowledges. In the FNSPC pilot, the co-researchers generated course changes as they progressed through the pilot, decolonizing the content and format as they went. Developing this Indigenized version of the FNSPC will have far-reaching implications for the CNAC Forest School ethos and teacher training delivery. This essay maps our collaborative efforts thus far in creating an ethical research space within this Indigenous/non-Indigenous research initiative and lays out intentions for the road ahead.

Published: June 2021

Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen causing hospital infections. The increasing rate of healthcare-associated infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in developing countries has led to many public health problems. This study aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology as well as the antibiotic resistance pattern of clinical isolates of MRSA from Southern Iran. A total of 135 S. aureus isolates were collected from the patients referred to three hospitals in South Iran. The phenotypic and genotypic diagnosis of MRSA isolates was performed by disk diffusion and PCR methods, respectively. The antibiotic resistance pattern for MRSA isolates was performed using Kirby–Bauer method. The molecular epidemiology of isolates was performed by MLST, Spa typing and SCCmec typing. From 135 S. aureus isolates, 50 (37%) MRSA strains were detected from which two different sequence types including ST239 and ST605 were identified. SCCmec type III was the most common profile (50%) and t030 was the predominant spa type (48%) among the strains. The MRSA isolates had the highest resistance to penicillin (100%), tetracycline (88%), levofloxacin (86%), ciprofloxacin (84%), erythromycin (82%), gentamicin (80%), and clindamycin (78%). The results of this study show that the most common genetic type among the MRSA isolates was ST239-SCCmec III/t030. The rapid and timely detection of MRSA and the administration of appropriate antibiotics according to the published antibiotic resistance patterns are essential. Furthermore, the continuous and nationwide MRSA surveillance studies are necessary to investigate clonal distribution and spreading of MRSA from community to hospitals.
The incidence and clinical manifestations of human brucellosis in a referral hospital in Southern Saudi Arabia between 2015 and 2019
Authors: Ibrahim Mutasim E. , Al-Shahrani Mohammad S.
Published: June 2021

We determined the incidence and clinical manifestations of human brucellosis from patients who attended a referral hospital in South of Saudi Arabia. A record-based retrospective study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2019 at King Abdulla Hospital, Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Information on patients’ demographic characteristics, detailed records of signs and symptoms, and the laboratory findings were reviewed. Of 6,586 patients included, 15.8% (n = 1,041) were infected with brucellosis. The age of infected individuals ranged from five to 95 years, with an average of 35.1 ± 21.2 years. Most infected patients were male (72.3%). Young adults (26–44 years) were the most common age group with the disease (34.1%). The annual rate of infection significantly decreased (P < 0.0001) from 33.2% in 2015 to 12.5% in 2019. An escalating number of brucellosis cases was seen in the spring and peaked during the summer. Fever (35.3%), joint pain (25.5%), generalized body ache (10.7%), and neurological symptoms (10.0%) were the most frequent clinical manifestation associated with brucellosis. Joint pain was commonly found among children (44.4%). Neurological findings were more frequent among adult patients. The study concluded that brucellosis is endemic in Southern Saudi Arabia and needs local health authority to implement preventive and educational program measures. Infected patients may present with diverse, nonspecific clinical manifestations that require intuition from clinicians to detect the disease.
The challenges of visualizing DMLA models

Published: June 2021

Multi-layer metamodeling is a metamodeling method that provides great flexibility for domain prototyping, while it also ensures rigid validation of domain rules. Visualization of multi-layer models would be essential in order to promote this new modeling technique in industrial setups; however, the traditional way of representing model entities is not sufficient here. Dynamic Multi-Layer Algebra is a multi-layer metamodeling approach that addressed the challenges of multi-layer modeling, but uses a text-based language to create models. This paper presents Dynamo, a visual notation for Dynamic Multi-Layer Algebra, which is also applicable to other multi-layer metamodeling approaches. The paper elaborates the graphical syntax and the design decisions.
Convolutional neural network-based activity monitoring for indoor localization
Authors: Árvai László
Published: June 2021

Location specific services are widely used in outdoor environment and their indoor counterpart is gaining more popularity as well. There is no standardized technology exists for indoor localization, usually smart phone is used as a localization platform and the field strength of an existing radio frequency infrastructure is used as the location specific information. Smart devices are also equipped with several sensors capable of capturing the motion data of the device. Detecting the walking step, turn, stairs motion type can refine the indoor position using digital indoor map as a reference. The real-time recognition of the motion type is possible with a precisely constructed and trained convolutional neural network and therefore it can improve the stability of the localization.

Published: June 2021

Nowadays, self-driving cars have a wide reputation among people that is constantly increasing, many manufacturers are developing their own autonomous vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with various sensors that are placed at several points in the car. These sensors provide information to control the vehicle (partially or completely, depending on the automation level). Sight distances on roads are defined according to various traffic situations (stopping, overtaking, crossing, etc.). Safety reasons require these sight distances, which are calculated from human factors (e.g., reaction time), vehicle characteristics (e.g., eye position, brakes), road surface properties, and other factors. Autodesk Civil 3D is a widely used tool in the field of road design, the software however was developed based on the characteristics of the human drivers and conventional vehicles.

Technology and Institutions in neo-Schumpeterian and Original Institutional Thinking
Authors: Dominguez Lacasa Iciar
Published: June 2021

The aim of this inquiry is to deepen our understanding of the interactions between knowledge, technologies and institutions in socio-economic process by considering the affinities and divergences of Original Institutional Economics (OIE) and neo-Schumpeterian economics (NSE). Both strands of evolutionary economic thought recognize the importance of knowledge for human progress and the role of institutions in molding this process. OIE and NSE share a common perspective in what concerns (i) the role of knowledge for socio-economic change, (ii) the behavioral dimension of technology molded by institutions, and (iii) the role of purposeful evaluation in processes of institutional and technological change. Considering these commonalities, both strands of thinking could benefit from “joining forces”. Firstly, the conceptualization of how knowledge and technologies drive human progress from a neo-Schumpeterian perspective could very much benefit from the consideration of the value system and the power structure sustaining it as put forward by OIE. Values and power appear as key determinants channeling (or retaining) knowledge towards human progress. Moreover, the role of the value system as suggested by OIE could be operationalized and further developed to explain paths of socio-economic development drawing on the conceptualization of “selection mechanisms” as put forward by neo-Schumpeterian models.

ABSTRACT There are few numbers of biochemical tests for specie classification in the genus Malassezia and these can to fail in the identification of the atypical isolates. In this study, typical and atypical isolates were analysed by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to compare with biochemical-physiological characteristics of the Malassezia species from bovine and canine ears. RAPD band patterns using OPA4 primer clustered all isolates according its biochemicalphysiological characteristics in the species from cattle and dog. Malassezia nana and M. sympodialis isolates were sub-clustered in separated sub-branches and both were from a different branch of the other species. The DNA pattern of the two atypical lipid-dependent M. pachydermatis strains was similar with of other typical strains but it did not show the one specific band of 200bp. Future studies in the specific RAPD bands of genetic profiles can be important to corroborate the identification of typical and atypical isolates of the genus Malassezia.

RESUMO A presente pesquisa foi conduzida utilizando-se 288 galinhas poedeiras da linhagem Hisex White com 32 semanas de idade, pelo período de 10 semanas, com o objetivo de estudar o enriquecimento da gema do ovo em ácidos graxos a partir de rações suplementadas com óleo de peixe (OP) ou alga marinha (AM) em cinco níveis de ácido docosahexaenóico (DHA) de 120, 180, 240, 300 e 360 mg/100 g dieta. Foi aplicado o modelo fatorial 2 x 5, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições de oito aves por tratamento, de modo a constituir os grupos: OP120, OP180, OP240, OP300, OP360, AM120, AM180, AM240, AM300 e AM360. Um grupo controle submetido à ração basal de milho e soja (CON) e outro, acrescido de AM, contendo 420 mg de DHA/ 100 g dieta (AM420) foram também utilizados. Os ácidos araquidônico (AA), linoléico e PUFAs n-6 mostraram decréscimos significativos (P < 0,05) com o aumento de OP na dieta, variando, respectivamente, de 98,71 mg, 987,70 mg e 1.108,92 mg/gema na dieta CON a 38,87 mg, 734,22 mg e 802,79 mg/gema, para o grupo OP360. Para a fonte OP, as médias de AA também mostraram linearidade (Y = -0,16X + 89,40, R2 = 0,86), decrescendo de 98,71 mg/gema (CON) para 38,87 mg/ gema (OP360) e 77,79 mg/gema (AM420), enquanto que o total de PUFAs n-6 oscilou de 1.108,92 mg/gema (CON) a 802,79 mg/gema (OP360) e 1.178,19 mg/gema (AM120). O percentual de incorporação de AA na gema dos ovos decresceu linearmente com o aumento dos níveis de DHA na ração suplementada com OP e AM, de 4,81% (CON) para 2,57% (OP360) e 3,51% (AM420). As médias de 1.572,11 mg/gema (OP) e 2.118,16 mg/gema (AM) de consumo do total de PUFAs n6 e de 3,12% (OP) e 4,30% (AM) de incorporação de AA na gema diferiram (P < 0,05) entre fontes. Um decréscimo significativo (P < 0,05) foi consignado na relação n-6/n-3, variando de 17,50 (CON) para 3,72 (OP360) e 6,36 (AM420).

RESUMO As interações entre patógenos e parasitóides devem ser avaliadas para um possível controle das pragas, sendo observada a interrupção ou não do desenvolvimento larval quando um hospedeiro parasitado é infectado ou quando um hospedeiro infectado é oferecido ao parasitóide. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o melhor tempo de liberação do parasitóide Lysiphlebus testaceipes e a melhor concentração dos fungos Beauveriabassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus e Lecanicillium lecanii no controle do pulgão Schizaphis graminum. Os parasitóides foram liberados às 0, 24, 48 e 72 horas após aplicação de duas concentrações (104 e 108 conídios/mL) dos fungos B. bassiana, M. anisopliae, P. fumosoroseus e L. lecanii. Na testemunha foi pulverizada água destilada esterilizada. O fungo entomopatogênico L. lecanii é altamente prejudicial ao desenvolvimento do parasitóide na maior concentração. Para a utilização conjunta dos fungos B. bassiana, M. anisopliae e P. fumosoroseus com L. testaceipes no controle de S. graminum, a melhor época de liberação do parasitóide é logo após a sua aplicação (0h).

RESUMO Este trabalho relata a ocorrência e os danos de Clastoptera sp. (Hemiptera: Clastopteridae) na cultura da videira em Pernambuco, Brasil. Os espécimes foram coletados em vinhedos ( Vitis vinifera L.) no Estado de Pernambuco, em maio de 2007. O material examinado está depositado na Coleção Entomológica da Embrapa Uva e Vinho (CEEUV Bento Gonçalves, RS) e no Museu de Ciências e Tecnologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (MCTP Porto Alegre, RS). A Clastoptera sp., vulgarmente chamada de cigarrinha-da-baba, ataca pecíolos da videira e os engaços dos cachos de uvas. O aspecto da área atacada é muito característico: as ninfas produzem uma espuma com aspecto de cuspo onde ficam protegidas. Quando as brotações atacadas são novas, as folhas ficam secas e quando são mais velhas, ficam cloróticas. Os cachos de uvas atacados são sempre descartados, seja ou não para exportação, o que pode causar grande prejuízo econômico.

RESUMO Este artigo investiga a pronúncia das vogais médias tônicas no português do século XVII, a partir da observação das rimas da poesia de então. Como corpus para esta pesquisa foram considerados os poemas seiscentistas agrupados no cancioneiro português A Fénix Renascida ou obras poéticas dos melhores engenhos portugueses . A metodologia adotada neste estudo consistiu, essencialmente, no mapeamento e análise de todas as rimas, no corpus referido, envolvendo vogais médias, na sílaba acentuada. Essas rimas foram comparadas a rimas dos séculos XIII, XV e XVI, analisadas em estudos anteriores da primeira autora deste artigo. Os resultados desta pesquisa sugerem que havia, até o século XVII, pelo menos, intensa variação fonética na pronúncia das vogais médias tônicas da língua portuguesa. Ao longo da história, algumas dessas variações resultaram em mudança, de modo que a variante fixada na pronúncia atual não corresponde à forma etimológica. Em outros casos, no entanto, fixou-se a pronúncia mais antiga da língua.

ABSTRACT Sensors used in precision agriculture can perform readings of georeferenced points aiming to determine the electrical conductivity, pH and organic matter. These devices have a high operational capacity, but with little information on the quality of their collected data. This study aimed to establish correlations and differences among electrical conductivity, pH and organic matter data collected by sensor and obtained by laboratory analyses. The results were analyzed by statistical correlations, geostatistical analyses and map generation by the kriging interpolation method of electrical conductivity, pH and organic matter, using dedicated softwares. The sensor showed that the data collected for electrical conductivity, pH and organic matter are reliable and robust, due to the high spatial dependence and correct sampling distance confirmed by the range values.

ABSTRACT The soybean chemical composition is strongly influenced by genetic factors, as well as their interaction with the environment and management practices. Among the environmental factors, water deficit and temperature are those that most contribute to modify the chemical composition of beans, especially oil and protein contents. The present study aimed to assess the effects of co-inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense on soybean oil and protein contents. Two field experiments were carried out on different sowing dates. The design consisted of randomized blocks, in a split-split-plot arrangement, with four replications, including two irrigation depths (25 % and 100 % of the ETc), two inoculation methods [Bradyrhizobium japonicum (strains Semia 5079 and Semia 5080) and Azospirillum brasilense (strains AbV5 and AbV6 + Bradyrhizobium japonicum)] and two cultivars (ANTA 82 and TMG 132). The co-inoculation did not affect the oil and protein contents of beans for any of the assessed management conditions. The water deficit in the reproductive stage, combined with the sowing dates, altered the oil and protein contents in both the assessed cultivars, showing, respectively, a higher average protein and oil content in the beans for the cultivars TMG 132 and ANTA 82.

Amaç: Postpartum dönemde annelerin bebek beslenmesi tutumlarını etkileyen faktörleri incelenmek.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı özellikteki araştırma, bir devlet hastanesinin çocuk polikliniğinde yürütüldü. Çalışmanın örneklemini Nisan 2018-Nisan 2019 tarihleri arasında, çocuk polikliniğinde bebeği izlenen 173 anne oluşturdu. Veriler anket formu ve Bebek Beslenmesi Tutum Ölçeği aracılığıyla elde edildi.

Bulgular: Annelerin doğum şekli (p=,002) ve toplum içinde bebeğini emzirme durumuna (p=,002) göre Bebek Beslenmesi Tutum Ölçeği puanları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı. Annelerin gebelikteki kontrol sayısı ile toplam emzirme süresi arasında ileri düzeyde olumlu yönde bir ilişki olduğu (p=,000) belirlendi. Annelerin doğum sayısı ile Bebek Beslenmesi Tutum Ölçeği puanları arasında olumlu yönde (p=,012) ilişki olduğu görüldü.

Sonuç: Sezaryen ile doğum yapan annelerin emzirme tutumu normal doğum yapan annelere göre olumludur. Emzirme tutumu olumlu olan anneler toplumda bebeğini daha rahat emzirmektedir. Annelerin gebelikteki kontrol sayısı artıkça toplam emzirme süresi artmaktadır. Annelerin doğum sayısı arttıkça emzirme tutumu olumlu yönde artmaktadır.
