Published: September 2021

A democratização da educação reflete diretamente na sua estrutura organizacional, em que há um acentuado movimento de descentralização dos cargos organizacionais e, com a distribuição na divisão de tarefas, uma maior participatividade da comunidade escolar. Nesse sentido, este artigo buscou compreender a participatividade da Gestão Escolar na construção de uma autonomia socioescolar dos Representantes de Turma de uma escola pública. Para tanto, analisamos a constituição do caráter participativo da Gestão na construção de um projeto sociopedagógico direcionado aos Representantes; investigamos a implicância das atribuições pedagógicas na construção de uma autonomia socioescolar dos Representantes e; analisamos o comportamento do caráter mediador do cargo de Representante na estrutura organizacional. O artigo, portanto, assume um cunho descritivo e traz uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza básica e de método indutivo. Esta pesquisa, além de nos mostrar a função de Representante como resultado da descentralização de cargos, também reconhece a importância de um Projeto sociopedagógico que promove a autonomia estudantil. Como resultados, a pesquisa apontou para o caráter mediador na dimensão funcional do cargo e a importância de uma Gestão Participativa que promova a autonomia estudantil, introduzindo, também, uma base para outras discussões sobre o protagonismo estudantil.

El avance de la tecnología digital ha permitido concebir Sistemas de Vigilancia Epidemiológicos (SVE) automatizados con un enfoque holístico-sistémico favoreciendo la planeación, operación, gestión y procesamiento de datos fitosanitarios de manera efectiva y oportuna para toma de decisiones en la prevención y manejo regional de plagas. Este tipo de sistemas se enfocan en la salud del cultivo superando la visión reduccionista de plaga en la vigilancia normativa convencional. Un SVE web implica la definición clara del marco regional, objetivos, plaga(s) en su amplia acepción, recursos humanos/financieros, contexto normativo, líneas de investigación de soporte, estructura operativa y modelos de innovación. Estos elementos determinan la precisión, frecuencia y tipo de muestreo y monitoreo, así como las variables de medición relativas a un novel sistema epidemiológico. A diferencia de la vigilancia normativa, un SVE web holístico-sistémico tiene capacidad descriptiva y de pronóstico de riesgos, incluyendo alertas tempranas a partir de análisis espaciales y temporales. La interfaz web SVE asegura la generación flexible y dinámica de reportes y/o análisis automatizados. Un SVE operado en plataformas web, con énfasis en lenguajes de programación y herramientas de uso libre puede ser alojado en servidores genéricos o dedicados para almacenamiento de metadatos configurados con tecnologías Linux/Apache y funcionalidad 24/7 (h día-1). Programas de uso libre incluyen MySQL/MariaDB y otros como gestores de bases de datos; PHP / Node.js, y JavaScript, Ajax, HTML5 y CSS, como tecnologías web de maquetado base ‘back-end’ y ‘front-end’, respectivamente. Esta revisión se enfoca en principios, atributos conceptuales, enfoques metodológicos generales y objetivos de SVE base web. Aplicaciones generales se ilustran con un SVE desarrollado en México para el cafeto (Coffea spp.), el cual permitió operar la vigilancia de 19 plagas, nueve con estatus cuarentenario, mediante la generación, gestión y análisis de 87.4 y 15.7 millones de registros climáticos y epidemiológicos, respectivamente, obtenidos entre 2013-2019.

Published: September 2021

Investigation on the Reproductive Biology of Bagrus bayad in Jibiya Dam from Katsina State, Nigeria was carried out from July – December 2019 using standard procedures. One hundred and sixteen (116) samples of B. bayad were harvested and collected during the study period in order to determine sex ratio, fecundity and Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) of the fish species. Results indicated that the male:female sex ratio was 1.3:1 which was not significantly different from the hypothetical 1:1 (p>0.05). It was also found that the GSI of B. bayad was highest in July (0.23) and lowest in October (0.12). The relationship between fecundity and ovary weight was positively significant (p<0.05). Similarly, there was a significant positive relationship between fecundity and body weight as well as between ovary weight and age (p<0.05). However, no significant relationship was found between ovary weight and body weight, body weight and age and between fecundity and age (p>0.05). It is recommended that comparative study on the stages of maturity of male and female B. bayad in Jibiya Dam be investigated.

Published: September 2021

Cumulative heat with resulting alterations to weather unfavorably disturb plant development, resultant in disastrous damage in wheat output. With one degree increase in temperature, wheat growth is projected to decrease by 6%. Comprehensive summary of morpho-physiological replies to wheat for temperature pressure might assist expressing suitable approaches in temperature pressure wheat yield development. Moreover, penetrating to conceivable managing approaches might elevate output and sustainability of rising wheat. Main conclusions after this review is follows: (1) temperature pressure meaningfully decreases kernel sprouting and seedling development, turgidness of the cell, water use competence of the plant; (2) During cellular level, temperature pressure interrupts cellular purposes over making unnecessary sensitive oxygen types, foremost towards oxidative pressure; (3) main replies to wheat for temperature pressure comprise improvement to senescence of leaf, decrease in photosynthesis, defusing of enzymes of photosynthesis, production of oxidative losses to chloroplasts; (4) temperature pressure too decreases number of grains and size via upsetting ounce setting, translocation of integrates and period and development proportion of grains; (5) actual methods to manage temperature pressure in wheat comprise screening accessible germplasm beneath field hearings and/or retaining marker aided assortment, claim to external protectants for seeds or plants, mapping quantitative trait locus discussing temperature confrontation and breeding; (6) Well combined genetic and agronomical organization choice might improve wheat acceptance for temperature. Though, achievement to apply numerous methods for temperature pressure organization needs better understanding of temperature acceptance topographies, molecular cloning, and description of genes. General achievement to multifaceted plant temperature pressure administration depends on intensive exertions to crop modelers, molecular biologists, and plant physiologists.

Trilostane monitoring in canine hyperadrenocorticism: can basal cortisol replace the ACTH stimulation test?
Authors: Tsouloufi Dr , Oikonomidis Ioannis
Published: September 2021

PICO question

In dogs with hyperadrenocorticism that are being treated with trilostane, does the measurement of basal cortisol levels have comparable diagnostic performance to the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Diagnosis (effectiveness of treatment monitoring)

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Four cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy studies were critically reviewed

Strength of evidence

Weak to moderate (level 2)

Outcomes reported

There is evidence of moderate strength suggesting that basal cortisol measured at 4–6 hours (and possibly 2–3 hours) post-trilostane can be a good test to exclude adrenal oversuppression, while its use is not suggested for diagnostic confirmation of oversuppression. There is evidence of weak strength that basal cortisol might be helpful for identifying dogs with inadequate adrenal suppression, but cannot be used to rule it out

Conclusion

Although the evaluation of the available evidence is difficult due to its heterogeneity, there is moderate evidence that a basal cortisol measured at 4–6 hours (and possibly 2–3 hours) post-trilostane dose can be a good test to rule out adrenal oversuppression, but that it cannot be used to definitively diagnose oversuppression. The current evidence suggests that basal cortisol is less useful for identification of inadequate control. Based on one included study, neither ACTH-stimulated nor basal cortisol levels correlate optimally with the actual clinical response of the patient. In this context, it can be concluded that none of the currently used laboratory tests should be used as a sole monitoring tool in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism receiving trilostane and thus, the assessment of the clinical response is of utmost importance

 

How to apply this evidence in practice

The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Knowledge Summaries are a resource to help reinforce or inform decision making. They do not override the responsibility or judgement of the practitioner to do what is best for the animal in their care.

Published: September 2021

La confianza es una pieza clave para las relaciones entre empresa y cliente. En sectores modernos como el comercio electrónico B2C es indispensable transmitirla, dado que este contexto digital genera incertidumbre por la falta de interacción personal y contacto directo con los productos deseados. Ante esta situación, las marcas se encuentran en la búsqueda de una fórmula que les ayude a generar confianza con su público en línea. Por ello, conscientes del poder influyente de las redes sociales como Facebook, utilizan esta plataforma para que, a través de anuncios publicitarios, interactúen y construyan el vínculo necesario para transmitir confianza. Es así que, el presente estudio ahondará en el rol de la publicidad en Facebook para la generación de confianza hacia las tiendas en línea B2C. Para ello, se realizó una investigación de tipo cualitativa enfocada en el público limeño de nivel socioeconómico C de 28 a 35 años, que no hayan realizado compras vía comercio electrónico. Esto debido a que se buscó conocer las limitantes de este grupo, que según estudios, cuenta con una menor participación de compra en el modelo en línea en el Perú, para así identificar sus necesidades en los anuncios. El principal hallazgo de esta investigación resalta la demanda de los participantes por una publicidad enfocada hacia un rol educativo, que les ayude a entender los procesos y beneficios de las compras por comercio electrónico B2C. Así, los niveles de confianza hacia las tiendas en línea serán mayores, logrando repercutir positivamente en una futura compra.
Commercialising Pastoralist Livestock Systems in East Africa
Authors: Catley Andy
Published: September 2021

Across East Africa’s vast rangelands, pastoralist livestock systems have been commercialising since the early 1900s. Commercialisation has varied widely within and between areas, but now includes substantial livestock exports, regional and cross-border trade, and supply to domestic markets. This policy brief examines some of the key features of pastoralism that affect how commercialisation evolves in pastoralist societies, and why poorer producers often benefit least from new market access. The policy brief draws on a substantial body of research and programme evaluations, and two new APRA research reports on pastoral livestock commercialisation in south-east Ethiopia (Gebresenbet, 2020) and northern Kenya (Roba, 2020).

This study aimed to describe the shape and meaning of the architectural design of the Buton house both from an emic and ethical perspective. The focus of the problem was: (1). What was the shape and pattern of the house layout of the Butonese people? (2). What was the meaning of the traditional house architecture of the Butonese people? The data were obtained through a series of interviews, non-participant observation, and document review. All data were analyzed through some stages: formulation of questions, making descriptive narratives, data reduction, application, and interpretation, then concluding. Based on an analysis of the research problem, the following conclusions were obtained: (1). The shape of the Buton house had an aesthetic meaning related to belief or the dimension of religiosity, in this case, Islam; (2). The patron or pattern of the Butonese house building had become part of their system of thinking, so that eventually it became something standards, such as the standard of spatial structure, shape, structure, and ornamentation. In subsequent developments, there appeared to be an internal effort by the Butonese to provide a new perspective on the meaning of the Buton house, leading to interpretations oriented to Islamic values. The form of houses on stilts as depicted in malige and kamali by the local community was interpreted as a replica of a Muslim performing the prayer ritual. The model of a tiled roof was analogous to the composition or position when he was praying, where the place of the right hand was above the left hand. Whereas in the perspective of political power, the tiled roof was a symbol of political and religious unity. Pineapple ornaments played a role as a symbol of monotheism. This symbol also is a manifestation of the religious ethics Butonese, who always direct their life to the values ​​of monotheism.
Mujer que sabe viajar: autorrepresentación y subjetividad femenina en Cartas a Ricardo, de Rosario Castellanos
Authors:   Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, Chávez Díaz Liliana
Published: September 2021

This paper reflects on the relationship between the female traveling experience and the epistolary genre through a reading of Rosario Castellanos’s Cartas a Ricardo as travel literature. The aim is to analyse the hybrid nature of the letter as a genre that allows the exploration of ideas and confessing or revealing affects during particular processes of constructing female subjectivities. Different than conventional travel chronicles, it is argued that the travel accounts transmitted through the female epistolary genre can throw light on physical and emotional displacement, but also on the intellectual and creative work of women in (self)censored or repressed environments. It is concluded that for Castellanos both traveling and writing are conscious acts of intellectual and gender freedom.

Authors: SZYMANSKI Piotr , CIUFFO Biagio , FONTARAS Georgios , MARTINI Giorgio , PEKAR Ferenc
Published: September 2021

The increasing efficiency of the transport system during the last 100 hundred years has fuelled and sustained the unprecedent economic growth of our society. It has shaped our livestyles and influenced the development of our cities and town. At the same time it has posed several challenges to our world as the provision of transport opportunities has heavily contribuitred to the depletion of natural resources, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, etc. Road transport in particular has had a major role into this.
Several policies have been introduced during the last 50 years in the attempt to limit the impact of the transport system, but they have been effective only to a certain extent. During the last years, however, new technologies and social trends are promising to disrupt the transport system and make it substantially more efficient and more sustanable. The present paper discusses the possibile environmental impacts of some of the new technologies applied to transport, in particular highlighting how its complexity may jeopardize the possible improvements that the new technologies promise without properly governing their use.

Published: September 2021

In Poland, the number of vehicles owned per capita is systematically increasing. There is also a noticeable increase in traffic in large urban agglomerations. This creates a number of problems, such as difficulties in finding a parking spot. Then it becomes necessary to search for a long time to stop, which is correlated with higher emission of harmful substances and energy consumption. The aim of the work is a multi-criteria analysis of the selection of a parking spot at a shopping center focused on travel times, pollutant emissions and fuel consumption. In addition, consideration was given to the selection of the optimal parking spot. The tests were carried out in Real Driving Conditions similar to Real Driving Emissions testing. The procedure, currently used as an extension of the type-approval tests, reflects the actual exhaust emissions from vehicles more accurately than tests under laboratory conditions. Specialized PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement System) apparatus was used for the measurements.

Private forest partnership has been considered as a new strategy in dealing with conventional socio-economic model problem of the industrial wood raw material sustainability supply. As a new strategy to address the issue of sustainability of industrial wood supply, synergy is needed between forest farmer groups and timber-based industry through private forest partnership schemes. This research aims to analyze private forest partnership policy and its implementation in terms of cooperation aspects in order to formulate a sustainable private forest partnership policy. Content analysis was used to identify all policies related to private forestry partnerships, while policy implementation was analyzed by using formal evaluation method. The descriptive method was implemented to analyze standing stock managemet, and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a method to formulate the concept of sustainable private forest partnership policy. The results showed that private forest partnership policy now is more focused on production facilities and infrastructure aspect. The level of policy implementation in research location is at a low grade, only reached 16.28%, while 43.75% of the private forest partnerships in the research area are not sustainable due to low potential of standing stock. This research proved that fostering the farmers is a key factor to develop sustainable private forest partnership policy.
In vitro 3D Model of Female Reproductive Tract: An Overview and Future Aspect
Authors: Capuzzo Arnaud Martino
Published: September 2021

Hormones must be balanced and dynamically controlled for the Female Reproductive Tract (FRT) to function correctly during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and delivery. Gamete selection and successful transfer to the uterus, where it implants and pregnancy occurs, is supported by the mucosal epithelial lining of the FRT ovaries, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Successful implantation and placentation in humans and other animals rely on complex interactions between the embryo and a receptive female reproductive system. The FRT's recent breakthroughs in three-dimensional (3D) organoid systems now provide critical experimental models that match the organ's physiological, functional, and anatomical characteristics in vitro. This article summarizes the current state of the art on organoids generated from various parts of the FRT. The current analysis examines recent developments in the creation of organoid models of reproductive organs, as well as their future directions.

(1) Background: In patients suffering from heart failure, the main causes of death are either he-modynamic failure, or ventricular arrhythmias. The only tool to significantly reduce arrhythmic sudden death is the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), but not all patients benefit to the same extend of these devices. (2) Methods: The primary outcome of this single center study was defined as cardiovascular death in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure who have benefited from ICD therapy. The secondary outcomes were death from any cause, sudden cardiac death, ICD-related therapies (appropriate antitachycardia pacing or shock therapy for ventricular tachycardia or fi-brillation) and recurrences of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. (3) Results: A total of 403 consecutive ICD recipients – symptomatic heart failure patients with ICD for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death – were included retrospectively: 59% is-chemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) and 41% non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICMP). Within a median follow-up period of 36 months, the incidence of cardiovascular mortality was not signif-icantly different in patients with NICMP and ICMP: the primary outcome had occurred in 9 pa-tients (5.4%) in the NICMP group and in 14 patients (5.9%) in the ICMP group (hazard ratio 1; 95%confidence interval [CI] 0.45 to 2.28; p =0.97). All-cause mortality occurred in 14 of 166 pa-tients (8.4%) in NICMP group and 18 of 237 patients (7.6%) in ICMP group. Sudden cardiac death occurred in 2 patients (1.2%) in the NICMP group and in 4 patients (1.7%) in the ICMP group (hazard ratio 0.71; 95% CI, 0.13 to 3.88; P=0.69). The rate of appropriate device therapies was comparable in both groups. (4) Conclusion: In this study, ICD implantation for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with symptomatic systolic heart failure was associated with similar rates of cardiovas-cular and all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease, and in patients with heart failure from other causes. NICMP and ICMP showed comparable rates of recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias and appropriate ICD therapies.

PM0.1 (particles diameter ≤ 0.1 µm), nanoparticles (NPs), and ultrafine particles (UFPs), were interchangeably used in the scientific communities. PM0.1 originated from both natural and human sources. However, investigations of PM0.1 and its effects on the environment, visibility, and human health risk to understand the levels of air pollution, sources, and impacts in South East Asia (SEA) countries continue to be lacking. The concentration of PM0.1 in most SEA countries are much worse than those in western countries environment. A further motivation of this reviewed article is to provide a critical synthesis of the current knowledge and study of ambient PM0.1 in SEA cities. The main influence of characteristics of PM0.1 appears to be local sources including biomass burning and motor vehicles. Continuous monitoring of PM0.1 in terms of both mass and number concentration should be further understood. A critical review is of great importance to facilitating air pollution control policies and predicting the behavior of PM0.1 in SEA.

Permeable pavements have been the subject of numerous studies in recent decades. The possibility of dissipating stormwater more smoothly and generating numerous benefits to the environment and users makes the use of permeable pavements an excellent possibility of integration into sustainable and resilient water management systems in cities. In Brazil, numerous studies on the quantity and quality of infiltrated water, permeability of the coating, clogging, environmental burden, feasibility, among other characteristics, have been researched. Within this theme, the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) has contributed with ten papers in the research of permeable pavements in the last six years, which address various topics about the effectiveness and applicability of permeable pavements. This paper reviews the studies conducted at UFSC on permeable pavements and discusses the different results within the main issues found. In general, the selected documents addressed seven themes in the studies: potential for potable water savings, clogging, quantity and quality of the water infiltrated into the pavement, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its variants, and hydraulic and structural design details. More specifically, many selected papers assess the potential use of stormwater harvested through permeable pavements in non-potable uses of buildings. The possibility of aligning the benefits of green infrastructure with the rational use of water expands the advantages of the system and can help prevent future water scarcity, as well as reduce the environmental impacts of paving.

To date, most people prefer softer and stickier rice with high glycaemic index, which has led to the study of the association between the dietary fibre profile and the textural properties to balance between the eating quality, and health benefits. A slight variation was observed in the dietary fibre composition among rice varieties with different amylose content. The percentage of insoluble dietary fibre (IDF) in whole grain rice varied from 1.65–4.32 while the percentage of soluble dietary fibre (SDF) ranged from 0.26–1.37. We demonstrated that the SDF/IDF ratio was higher in soft texture rice with low amylose and it shared a negative correlation with hardness and chewiness of cooked whole grain rice determined by a texture analyser, which suggested that the distribution of SDF throughout the rice endosperm influences the reduction of the hardness of cooked rice. According to the importance of dietary fibre, we proposed a simple linear regression method to estimate the amount of IDF and total dietary fibre with r = 0.97 and 0.92, respectively, of whole grain rice based on its bran layer, determined by the alternative alkaline method. Furthermore, low amylose rice has higher content of -glucan and pectin, which are classified as soluble dietary fibre, than high amylose rice. The percentage of -glucan and pectin in whole grain rice ranged from 0.03 and 0.07 respectively, for high amylose rice to 0.14 and 0.27 respectively for low amylose rice,
Spirals and Rings in Barred Galaxies by the ROTASE Model
Authors: Pan Hongjun
Published: September 2021

This paper extends the application of the ROTASE model for the formation of spiral arms of disc galaxies, questions and confusions from readers about this model are addressed. The optical trail effect behind the spiral arm rotation is the natural consequence of the model. The morphologies of ring-galaxies are classified into four categories: type I: single ring; type II: 8-shaped double ring; type III: 8-shaped double ring wrapped by a larger outer ring; type IV: single ring without spiral and bar. All four types of ring galaxies can be described by the ROTASE model. The ROTASE model predicts that the false impression of spiral arm rotating ahead of the galactic bar in the galaxy MCG+00-04-051 will change with time, it will look like a normal galaxy with about 30° to 40° bar rotation in the future and the galactic bar ends will look like rotating ahead of the spiral arms with further 10 ° to 15 °bar rotation. The formation of one arm galaxies is due to X-matter at one side of supermassive black hole is much stronger than other side. More evidence is found to support the explanation of the formation and the evolution of the Hoag’s object. The possible evolution of spiral pattern of galaxies is illustrated by UGC 6093. The winding of the Milky Way could be tighter in the future based on the ROTASE model.
