diachrony of the new political terrorism. Neologisms as discursive framing in Swedish parliamentary data 1971–2018
Authors: Brodén Daniel , Olsson Leif-Jöran , Fridlund Mats , Ängsal Magnus P , Öhberg Patrik
Published: October 2023

This paper begins to unpack the framing of terrorism in the Swedish Parliament through distant reading and by chronologically extracting neologisms in a comprehensive corpus of transcripts of parliamentary debates. Combining language technology and historical contextualization, we find support for the argument that the term ‘terrorism’ gained much of its modern meaning around 1970. Specifically, our study points to a legislative framing of the issue of terrorism in Swedish parliamentary debate from the early 1970s and onwards. We also find a proliferation in the production of neologisms and compounds after 9/11 2001, reflecting, among other things, the rise of a more distinct counter-terrorism discourse and more ‘specialized’ roles and functions related to terrorism and counter-terrorism activities. The paper concludes by emphasizing the analytical benefits of tracing parliamentary discourse through neologisms as an explorative approach to identify significant patterns for further investigation.
(R)Unicode: Encoding and Sustainability Issues in Runology
Authors: Magin Elisabeth Maria , Smith Marcus
Published: October 2023

[Revised version. Revision marked in footnote. ]In this article, the basic premises of reading a runic inscription and transferring the data into digital formats are discussed. Particular attention will be on the Runic block in the Unicode standard for digital character encoding, which currently does not suit the needs of the academic runological community. The proposed solution builds upon the existing standard without adding unnecessary additional characters, but with the ability to encode form-variants on top of the base character while retaining backwards compatibility, an approach from which other archaic scripts like Cuneiform or Khitan that suffer of similar encoding issues, could also benefit.
Tracing the Proliferation of Socialist Realism Doctrine in Latvian Periodicals: Case Study of "Literature and Art" and "The Flag"
Authors: Baklāne Anda , Saulespurēns Valdis
Published: October 2023

The paper presents the results of a study on the dissemination of socio-political and aesthetic ideas of Socialist Realism doctrine in the Latvian periodicals Literature and Art (LitArt) and The Flag. Several programmatic, ideologically saturated articles that were published in The Flag in the 1940s were compared to the rest of the corpus to explore the proliferation and persistence of similar ideas in the course of following decades. Authors have employed methodologies commonly used for plagiarism detection: fingerprinting and the comparison of document similarity based on word embeddings and document similarity measures. In particular, three perspectives were used to examine the similarity and reuse of texts: comparison of matching 5-grams processed by the winnowing algorithm and comparison of documents based on the TF-IDF and Doc2Vec embeddings and cosine similarity metrics. To facilitate the analysis, the results were loaded in the open-source version of Neo4j graph database. The findings were further explored and evaluated qualitatively to identify the distribution of direct citations, frequently reused phrases and most similar documents.
Exploring the Sentiment of Latvian Twitter Food Posts in Various Weather Conditions
Authors: Kāle Maija , Rikters Matīss
Published: October 2023

Food choice is a complex phenomenon influenced by factors such as taste, environment, culture, weather and many others. Although people spend most of their lives indoors, weather conditions remain influential, both in shaping seasonal food cultures in particular geographical areas and in influencing individual choices. With the recent increase in the availability of datasets on food and its perception as reflected in Twitter and historical weather data, we seek to explore food-related tweets in different weather conditions. In this paper, we examine a Latvian food tweet dataset covering the last decade in conjunction with a weather observation dataset consisting of average temperature, precipitation and other phenomena. We find out which weather conditions lead to specific food information sharing; we automatically classify tweet sentiment and discuss how it changes depending on the weather. We also explore the dynamics of sentiment related to meat and meat consumption on Twitter over a ten-year period. The rationale for focusing on tweeters’ sentiments about different meat-containing foods is due to the emergence of new discourses related to food consumption - the meat industry’s impact on planetary health, the levels of biodiversity, pollution and CO2 that influence and shape climate change, as well as the planet’s ecosystems as a whole.

Klarspråk – internasjonalt kjent som Plain Language eller Clear Language – er et satsingsfelt i både offentlig og privat sektor over hele verden. Tidsskriftet Sakprosa har invitert eksperter fra en rekke fagfelt til å skrive artikler om klarspråk ut fra eget perspektiv. Denne gangen er det Asbjørn Følstad, som er sjefforsker ved SINTEF, og Ragnhild Halvorsrud, som er seniorforsker ved SINTEF. Tekstene er ikke fagfellevurderte vitenskapelige artikler, men kyndige faglige innspill i et felt hvor dialogen mellom vitenskap og dagsaktuell praksis er særlig viktig. I 2015 publiserte tidsskriftet et temanummer om klarspråk med fagfellevurderte artikler. Vi håper den aktuelle artikkelserien kan stimulere forskerkolleger i Norden til å bidra med flere vitenskapelige artikler i årene som kommer.
Differential effects of family and friend support in sexual minority aging adults: Analysis of MIDUS 3
Authors: Song, Ph.D. Changhui , Kim Shinye , Canales Bethany , Xie Hui
Published: October 2023

Background: Sexual minorities experience disproportionate stress from historical and current oppression and social discrimination/isolation compared to their heterosexual counterparts, leading to greater risks of adverse mental health. Although social support serves as a significant protector buffering stress on physical and mental health, little is known about its effect on psychological well-being among sexual minority aging adults.

Study objective: We aimed to explore the effects of social support from family and family on three psychological outcomes: life satisfaction, self-esteem, and social well-being: between sexual minority and heterosexual aging adults using national representative data from the 2013-2014 Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS 3) in the U.S.

Methods: Key variables included: sexual orientation, family support, friend support, life satisfaction, self-esteem, and social well-being. We conducted adjusted, multiple linear regressions to examine life satisfaction/self-esteem/social well-being in relation to perceived discrimination, family support, friend support, and two-way interactions using backward stepwise regression.

Results: Of the 2,596 U.S. participants (Mean[age]=64.19; SD=11.0), 3% identified as sexual minorities and 9.7 % were racial/ethnic minorities. Sexual minority participants were more likely to perceive discrimination and less likely to have family support compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Regarding to adjusted linear regression models, heterosexual participants with greater family support had greater psychological wellbeing compared to their sexual minority counterparts with greater family support. However, sexual minority participants with greater friend support experienced a steeper increase in psychological outcomes based on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and social well-being compared to heterosexual participants with greater friend support.

Contribution to Evidence-Based Care: The findings suggest that sexual minority aging adults experience disproportionately more lifetime discrimination and lower family support compared to their heterosexual peers. Future studies and social programs should address the differential effects of family and friend support on physical and psychological indicators among sexual minority aging adults.

Castor is an important industrial, non-edible oilseed crop in India. India accounts for 81 per cent of world castor production and 59 per cent of global castor area. The crop is being cultivated in different agro-ecological regions of the country under both irrigated and rainfed conditions. Despite the phenomenal increase witnessed in the production and productivity of castor over the last two decades, there still exists wide gap in the per hectare yields of castor across states. A number of improved varieties/hybrids and technologies developed in castor production do not readily reach the famers due to multiple factors including low farmer - extension worker ratio and slow pace of technology transfer. In the recent years, Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) especially the Mobile Apps have emerged as accessible tools to strengthen the extension systemby providing information on crops, market and advisory services. Hence, an android standalone mobile application on "ICARIIOR-Castor" was developed to reach thewider section ofstakeholders through ICTfromICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research (ICAR-IIOR), Hyderabad. The App supports English language and available on Google play store. Features include offline and online mode and offer valuable information to the extension workers, farmers, castor researchers and other stakeholders, including state-wise preferred varieties and hybrids, crop production and protection technologies for management of insect pest and diseases, intercropping systems recommended for different states, contact details of AICRP (Castor) centres across India and commodity markets and important APMC's trading of castor. The ICT initiative can make latest and improved castor production technologies accessible to farmers and other stakeholders for realizing higher yield of crop.
Physico-chemical and organoleptic properties of palm oil and it's comparison with other oils regarding their utility in preparation of food products
Authors: MAMTA KUMARI  , RITU P DUBEY
Published: October 2023

Palmoil is the most widely used vegetable oil in the world. It is widely used by food and non-food manufacturers because of its functional benefits, versatility and availability. The consumption of palm oil is increasing as it is one of the cheapest forms of vegetable oil. It is rich in natural chemical compounds important for health and nutrition. The present study was carried out to prepare and assess the physico-chemical qualities of food products formulated by palm oil and other commonly used vegetable oils. Properties of palm oil with other vegetable oils (soybean oil and sunflower oil) were compared by preparing two food products namely Namak Para and Sev and they were evaluated for sensory evaluation. The chemical properties of the oils were analysed by calculating the acid value, peroxide value, specific gravity, percentage of oil absorption and beta-carotene. The cost of developed products was also calculated. The results indicated that organoleptic scores of Namak Para and Sev prepared using palm oil were significantly higher than the products prepared in other oils. Therefore, palm oil is recommended for cooking purposes because of its comparatively better sensory, physico-chemical and nutritional qualities.

A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Tandur during 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 to evaluate the effect of FYM and site specific nutrient management (SSNM) practices in safflower. FYM was applied two weeks before sowing and fertilizers were applied to the crop based on uptake pattern, target yield and soil fertility status. The field trial was laid out in split plot design with four replications. In main plots two treatments were assigned viz., M1 - No manure, M2 - FYM @ 5 t/ha and five sub plots consisted of S1 - Control (No fertilizer), S2 - Recommended NPK, S3- SSNM (STCR equation) for target yield of 1.5 t/ha, S4- S3 + micronutrients (Zn @ 5 kg/ha + S @ 10 kg/ha), S5 - S3 + if soil is deficient add 25% more than S2, if soil is medium apply as S2 and if soil is high apply 25% less than S2. Application of FYM @ 5 t/ha (M2) resulted in significantly higher plant height (105.89 cm), primary branches (10.14), number of capitula (30.14), seed weight/plant (9.40 g), 100 seed weight (6.42 g), dry weight/plant (58.92 g), Seed yield (1377 kg/ha), biological yield (5862 kg/ha), harvest index (20.16%) and gross returns (`39626/ha). However, net returns (`16669/ha) and B:C ratio (2.00) was higher in no manure application. Application of fertilizers based on S4- SSNM (STCR equation) for targeted yield of 1.5 t/ha + micronutrients (Zn @ 5 kg/ha + S @ 10 kg/ha) recorded significantly higher plant height (115.07 cm), primary branches (12.23), number of capitula/plant (36.33), seed weight/plant (11.28 g), 100 seed weight (6.54 g), dry weight/plant (64.47 g), seed yield (1650 kg/ha), biological yield (6227 kg/ha), harvest index (21.81 %), gross returns (` 47511 /ha) and net returns (` 20881 /ha).
Oilseeds scenario in Himachal Pradesh: analysis and some reflections

Published: October 2023

Oilseeds are very important due to being an integral part of Indian kitchen and imports basket. The diverse agro-ecological conditions in India favour growing ofmanyoilseeds, whose demand goes unmet domestically. Area,production and yield of oilseeds in India have witnessed positive growth over time. But these appear to be missing crops in Himachal Pradesh. Sesamum in kharif and rapeseed & mustard in rabi are the most important crops. Thepresent study analysed the trends in area, production and yields ofthese two oilseed crops in Himachal Pradesh using time-series data for the period 1974-75 to 2016-17. The economics of cultivating these two crops was also studied to examine their profitability. The results revealed negative and significant growth rate for area under all oilseeds in the state, while the same for the yield was positive and significant. The growth in production of rapeseed & mustard was contributed both by acreage as well as yield during the study period. The area under sesamum observed a steep fall in the state, more so during the past two and a half decades. Human labour alone accounted for the highest cost in these crops on sample farms. The cost and returns analysis clearly brought out that the two oilseed crops were profitable only when paid out cost were considered. Also, sesamum turned out to be more profitable as compared to rapeseed & mustard due to higher output price. These results call for incentivized approach to re-popularize these crucial crops in the state through an appropriate mix of technology and extension services.

Published: October 2023

Field studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of microbial and chemical insecticides against castor semilooper (Achaea janata) and tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) in castor during kharif 2019-20. Bioefficacyof two microbials viz., DOR Bt-127 SC formulation @ 3 ml/l and commercial formulation of Bacillusthuringiensis var. kurstaki @ 1 g/l and chemical insecticides viz., flubendiamide 39.35SC @ 0.2 ml/l and thiodicarb 75WP @1 g/l were evaluated against the pests. Comparing all treatments, the newer insecticide, flubendiamide 39.35SC @ 0.2 ml/l recorded significantly lower infestation of semilooper larval population up to 14 days after the spraytreatment (DAT) in both first (0.18 larvae/plant) and second spray (0.11 larvae/plant). In microbials, in both first and second spray treatments at 3 DAT, mortality of the semilooper larvae was high with minimum larval population in DOR Bt-127 SC formulation (0.68 larvae/plant). Reduction in S. litura population was also high in flubendiamide 39.35 SC @ 0.2 ml /l spray followed by DOR Bt-127 SC formulation. The defoliation by both the defoliators was less than 10% in flubendiamide sprayed plots after second spray at 14 DAT. In microbial insecticides sprayed plots also the defoliation by both the defoliatorswas low (12.8 to 14.4%). The effect ofspray treatments on the semilooper larval parasitisation by the parasitoid, S. maculipennis recorded that the microbials were very safe and the larval parasitisation was very high in DOR Bt-127 SC formulation (40.2%) and commercial Btk (28.8%) when compared to chemical pesticides (9.2 to 11.6%). Seed yield obtained was high in flubendiamide (1105 kg/ha) and DOR Bt-127 SC formulation (1078 kg/ha) treatments followed by commercial Btk sprayed plots whereas the lowest yield was recorded in untreated control (642 kg/ha). When comparing the cost involved and return, the net return was high in DOR Bt-127 SC (`22,794/ha) and flubendiamide (`22,215/ha) sprayed plots. Highest cost benefit ratio (1:1.96) was realized with DOR Bt-127 SC formulation followed by flubendiamide (1:1.87).
Attack the enemy silently in its own den: SIGS - Spray-induced gene silencing, a novel approach to contain pathogens
Authors: PAYAL PATWARI  , V DINESH KUMAR
Published: October 2023

RNAinterference (RNAi) technology is considered an alternative tool to develop more environmentally friendly broad-spectrumpesticides in agriculture. In this approach, sequence-specific knockdown of gene targets in pests and pathogensusing double-strandedRNA(dsRNA) is utilized. Two different dsRNAapplicationmethods, host induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray induced gene silencing (SIGS) are being followed. HIGS involves developing transgenic plants that produce the intended dsRNA which will be delivered into the pests when they feed or grow on the transgenic plants, while in SIGS the dsRNAs applied topically on the plants will be taken up by the target organisms. Once the dsRNA is in the target organism, the host RNAi cellular machinery will be used to silence the target genes. SIGS has been applied now against many pests and diseases in different crops and has given promising results. With the development of tools that facilitate economic production of large scale dsRNA and improve the stability and longevity of the sprayed dsRNAs on the plant surface, SIGS is a promising technology that could be adopted across crops and against different pests and pathogens. In this research update, we provide a summary of the recent developments in the area of SIGS with an emphasis on the examples of fungal pathogen control.
High yielding mutants from the introgression lines of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: I S TILAK  , R S BHAT
Published: October 2023

An effort was made to generate variability for foliar disease resistance and productivity traits in groundnut using induced mutagenesis with gamma rays and ethyl methane sulfate (EMS) in three interspecific derivatives viz., ICGIL 17105, ICGIL 17110, and ICGIL 17112 involving ABK genomes. A large population of M1, M2, M3 and M4 generations were evaluated along with the parents and checks to identify the promising mutants. Germination percentage decreased with an increase in the dosage of mutagen individually and in combination in the M1 generation. Dominant mutants with reduced plant height were observed along with the lethal mutants in the M1 generation. Gamma rays of 300 Gy and 0.3% EMS showed the highest mutagenic frequency and effectiveness for foliar disease resistance [late leaf spot (LLS) and rust] and productivity traits in the M2 generation. Interestingly, mutations were also observed for the taxonomic traits. Evaluation of M3 lines confirmed the superiority of three mutants over the respective parents and the best check (GPBD 4) for foliar disease resistance and pod yield. Superior mutants were checked for the type of allele at late leafspot (LLS) and rust resistance linked marker loci. Parents and the mutants had the resistant type of allele (like GPBD 4) at all the marker loci (GM1536, GM1954, GM2301, AhTE0498 and AhTE0621). Superior mutants are being evaluated in large plots in the station trial along with the parents and other elite varieties to check their performance towards developing them into commercial varieties.

Published: October 2023

Practicing an optimal dose for mutation induction is the first key step in any mutation breeding programme. The study optimized the GR50 dose of gamma rays in four different genotypes of safflower. During early seedling stage an in vitro experiment detected very high GR50 value of 579.2 Gy based on reduction of root length. Field experiments revealed significant difference in GR50 values among four safflower genotypes in two phenophases. Based on the seedling height data at 42 days after sowing, the GR50 values varied in between 248.7 to 374.3 Gy. While, GR50 values of 301.2 to 447.6 Gy were noticed at 72 days after sowing. Based on this finding a consensus optimal dose of 300 Gy was used for large scale mutation breeding programme that fetched beneficial mutants in safflower crop with an overall mutation frequency of 7.3 x 10-4..

Published: October 2023

Undulating topographyand higher precipitation intensityleading towaterlogging during rainyseason adversely affects productivity of the kharif crops including sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in Bundelkhand region. Limited information is available on existence of genetic variations for waterlogging tolerance in oilseed crops including sesame. In the present study, 609 germplasm accessions ofsesame were phenotyped under field conditions during kharif 2019 to identify accessions having waterlogging tolerance. Out of these 609 sesame accessions seven accessions viz., EC334449, EC334965, EC 334970, EC 334981, EC346727, IC204414 and IC96095 exhibited tolerance against waterlogging at three different growth stages (seedling stage, flower and capsule initiation stage) when natural waterlogging was allowed for 48 hours during experimentation. Identification of donors and development of waterlogging tolerant varieties is the most feasible and economically viable approach to bring desired stability in sesame production at the fields of resource poor farmers.

In this study, 60 confectionary sunflower genotypes were grown for three successive years during kharif 2018, 2019 and 2020 to determine the seed yield stability and adaptability over years. Yield stability and adaptability were analysed by combined analysis and AMMI model. The significant interaction indicated that the genotypes respond differently across the different environments. In AMMI analysis, the AMMI 1 biplot showed the genotype EC 734790 exhibited highest seed yield with 22.95g and high protein content of 31.23% and low oil content of 21.15% which is favoured for confectionary type of sunflower and is stable than all other varieties over all the three successive years, along with this the genotypes EC 734790, EC 734831, EC 734844 and EC 734814 had higher mean yields with high main (additive) effects. The results of the study further indicated that, the stable genotypes for seed yield over three successive years were G54- EC 734790 (22.95g) >G55- EC 734831(19.57g) >G56- EC 734844(18.15g) >G26- EC 734814(19.38g) with the help of AMMI model of stability analysis. Hence, these genotypes would be considered as more adapted to a wide range of environments over three different years than the rest of genotypes.

Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulusreniformis) infects castor and makes it vulnerable to vascular wilt and root rot diseases. In this study, a population consisting of 92 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between reniform nematode resistant line JC-12 and susceptible line 48-1 was used to identifythe genomic regions linked to reniform nematode resistance. The parents, F1 and RILs were screened against reniform nematode in pot culture with artificial inoculation of nematodes. The scoring for nematode resistance was done on the basis of number of nematodes extracted from the soil at 60 days after inoculation. The mean nematode count in 48-1 and JC-12 was 215.0±9.1 and 77.8±4.8 nematodes/ml of soil wash, respectively. The F1 reaction (217.3±13.2 nematodes/ml of soil wash) was similar to the susceptible parent indicating that nematode resistance in JC-12 is recessive in nature. The nematode count in RILs ranged from 43.8 to 327.3. QTL mapping using a linkage map consisting of 1,090 SNP markers resulted in the identification one QTLeach on chromosome-6 and chromosome-8, linked to resistance. This is the first report on mapping of genomic regions linked to reniform nematode resistance in castor, which form the basis for furthering the research on genetic and molecular biology of nematode resistance in castor.

FALL OF RELATIVE SEA LEVELS DURING THE LGM AND THE ROLE OF THE LOWER MANTLE LAYERS IN MANIFESTATION OF THE EFFECT OF HYDROISOSTASY
Authors: Bulgakov R. F.
Published: October 2023

The structure and functioning of coastal geosystems depend on the interaction of exogenous and endogenous factors. The results of such interaction can dramatically affect both the ecological situation and economic activity. Hydroisostasis, as one of the consequences of the change of sea level during glacial-to-interglacial changes and the resulting change in the solid earth’s surface loading, affects the stress-strain state of the interior part of the earth. Until recently, the study of the role of hydroisostasis for the Russian coastal regions was not sufficiently involved in research activity. In this work, special attention is paid to two aspects that cause and accompany hydroisostasis: a decrease in the level of the World Ocean by about 120 meters during the last glacial maximum about 20 thousand years ago and involvement of layers of the lower mantle in its accompanying deformations and displacements.
THE RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY OF THE PRIBREZHNY VOLCANIC COMPLEX IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HISTORY INVESTIGATIONS OF SOUTH KAMCHATKA
Authors: Bergal-Kuvikas O. V. , Rogozin A. N.
Published: October 2023

The present paper contains a review of publications, geological maps and reports on the study of the Pribrezhny volcanic complex of South Kamchatka. The Pribrezhny volcanic complex is comprised of a number of closeset volcanic massifs stretching chain-like along the narrow coastline of the Beregovoy ridge from the Avacha Bay to the Vestnik Bay. The relevance of the work is related to the necessity of revising the geodynamic history of formation of the study area which stems from emergence of some fragmentary, contradictory information about magmatic complexes of South Kamchatka. The paper presents the data on magmatic rocks penetrated in the coastal cliffs of South Kamchatka. Consideration is being given to their formation conditions in the context of a once-popular theory of geosynclines and in that of plate tectonics. Based on the review, several open research problems are formulated concerning the undetermined propagation limits of the Pribrezhny volcanic complex and unknown time intervals of its formation, and the lack of mineralogical and isotopic-geochemical studies of magmatic rocks. A separate research problem is the formation of transitional zone between the continental margin of Kamchatka and the Kuril Island Arc. The paper shows the relevance of the study of the Pribrezhny volcanic complex of South Kamchatka and proposes possible solutions to the research problems. A detailed mapping of the junction zone of Pribrezhny volcanic complex of South Kamchatka and the Kronotsky terrain near the Malko-Petropavlovsk zone of transverse dislocations will make it possible to refine the age and kinematics of their relationship. Determination of rare elements and strontium, neodymium and lead isotopes will provide a possibility to clarify the nature of magmatism as compared to heterochronous volcanic series of South Kamchatka. The data obtained will be needed to study magmogeneration conditions for acid volcanism of South Kamchatka and monogenic volcanism of the Malko-Petropavlovsk zone of transverse dislocations. The paleomagnetic studies, along with dating of rock absolute age, will help to reconstruct the paleolatitude of formation of the Pribrezhny volcanic complex and to restore the geodynamic evolution of formation of South Kamchatka.

Authors: de Almeida Matteucci Magda Beatriz , Santana Figeiredo Reginaldo , Vera Rosângela
Published: October 2023

O ovo é um alimento de consumo planetário em diversos segmentos. O resíduo resultante da utilização de ovos é a casca, que representa 10% do ovo. A casca de ovo é um recurso renovável localmente acessível ou de fácil obtenção, usada como adubo por agricultores tradicionais. No Brasil, adveio formas de produção de ovos com maior sustentabilidade, na busca do conforto das poedeiras e atender um mercado exigente com relação à qualidade do produto. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar o conteúdo de nutrientes das cascas de ovo caipira versus ovo de granja, convencional, visando seu emprego para aumentar a eficiência produtiva da propriedade familiar. As cascas de ovos de granja foram coletadas em lanchonetes e padarias e dos ovos caipiras com consumidores selecionados. A farinha foi produzida de modo tradicional, seca a sombra e triturada e analisada no Laboratório de Solos da Escola de Agronomia da UFG. Os dados foram comparados pelo teste de Mann-Whitney. O cálcio foi o elemento que apareceu em maior proporção em ambos tipos de ovos, com a média do caipira sendo estatisticamente maior que a do convencional. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas quanto ao N e P. Nos demais nutrientes a análise apresentou diferença maior estatisticamente significativa em favor do ovo convencional.
„Przybyli i zbudowali nam przemysł…” Inwestorzy i fachowcy – przypadek Skarżyska-Kamiennej do 1939 roku
Authors: Medyński Marcin
Published: October 2023

W artykule omówiono – na wybranych przykładach – napływ inwestorów i kadry technicznej do Kamiennej (Skarżyska-Kamiennej) w latach 1885–1939. Wieś, a od 1923 r. miasto, przeżywało wówczas boom inwestycyjny w związku z przeprowadzeniem przez te tereny Drogi Żelaznej Iwangrodzko-Dąbrowskiej i usytuowanie stacji węzłowej. Przed I wojną światową powstało wiele dużych i mniejszych zakładów prywatnych, przede wszystkim z branży metalurgicznej, które z kolei przyciągały dobrze wykształconych fachowców. Natomiast pierwsze lata II Rzeczypospolitej to rozkwit prywatnej spółki „Ekonomja”, ale przede wszystkim okres budowy i pozyskiwania kadr dla największej na tym terenie inwestycji państwowej, czyli zakładów zbrojeniowych: Fabryki Amunicji oraz Wojskowej Wytwórni Rakiet (później pod nazwami: Państwowa Fabryka Amunicji i Wytwórnia Węgla Aktywnego). Inwestorzy i fachowcy pracujący w tych zakładach zdobywali wiedzę, doświadczenie i kapitały w całej Europie, ale także w Azji i Ameryce Północnej.

Bifacial Talon Cusp Presenting with Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report
Authors: ZENGİN Ayşe , ÇELENK Peruze
Published: October 2023

Talon cusp is an uncommon odontogenic anomaly. Due

to its resemblance to an eagle’s talon, it was named as “talon

cusp”. Talon cusps occur most commonly on palatal surfaces

of permanent incisors. Bilateral and bifacial talon cusp is an

extremely rare occurrence.

The etiology of talon cusps remains unknown, though it

is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental

factors, developmentally result of an outfolding of the enamel

organ or hyperproductivity of the dental lamina.

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly which is

formed byfolding the enamel-dental organ through the pulp

chamber during the teeth development. In this case, bilateral

talon tubercle and bifacial talon tubercle with dens invaginatus

in the same tooth was reported.
