GREEN MANURE AND MINERAL FERTILIZATION: RESIDUAL EFFECT ON DRY MATTER PRODUCTION, NUTRIENT EXTRACTION AND NUTRIENTS RECOVERY EFFICIENCY IN TWO SUCCESIVE CROPS
Authors: Peralta Antonio Nain , Watthier Maristela , Silva Santos Ricardo Henrique
Published: August 2022

Background. Green manures (GM) are an alternative to partially or totally replace mineral fertilizers, in successive crops, but few studies have studied the residual effect (REEF) of GM on the subsequent crops. Objective. To determine the REEF of GM (Mucuna cinerea, sin. Stizolobium cinereum) and mineral fertilization (MF) on dry matter production (DM), nutrient extraction (NEX) and soil solution (SS) characteristics in the Brachiaria brizantha (BB). A second objective was to determine the nutrient recovery efficiency (RE) in two successive crops of broccoli and BB. Methodology. A single application of GM snd MF was done on broccoli crop, in pots and greenhouse conditions. The treatments were: 1) unfertilized plants (Control). 2) 200% of the recommended dose for broccoli, applied exclusively through MF (MF200). 3)  GM at 10 t ha-1 (GM10). 4) The same dose of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S applied through GM10 was applied through MF (MF=GM10). 5) GM10 + MF to supply the same dose of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S supplied with MF200 (GM10+MF). After broccoli harvest, the BB was planted in the same pots, without additional fertilization. Results. In BB, greater REEF on DM, NEX (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S), electrical conductivity and nutrient concentration (N, K, Ca, Mg and S) in SS, was detected with GM10 and GM10+MF. Considering both crops, greater DM and NEX were obtained with MF200 and GM10+MF. Higher RE of P and S was obtained with GM10, while, higher RE of K and Ca was obtained with the MF=GM10. Implications. The study shows that the efficiency of nutrients applied through GM at 10 t ha-1, combined with low doses of mineral fertilization, increases in successive crops. Conclusion. The REEF on the DM and nutrient extraction of the BB change depending on the fertilizer type and dose used. The REEF on the SS characteristics is only detected in the initial growth phase of the BB. In successive crops, the proportion of DM produced and the amount of nutrients extracted changes depending on the species used. To obtain a similar nutrient recovery between GM and MF is necessary to consider the DM of more of one crop.

Background: Dairy farm manager must apply strategic planning to manage the complexity of dairy production systems and produce high-quality milk. Objective. To identify and group dairy farms on the basis of milk yield and composition, animal data, and farm characteristics. Methodology. Official milk records and production variables of 26 dairy farms and 45,343 cows in the region of Arapoti, Paraná, southern Brazil (24°49′36″S 49°49′36″W, 860 m elevation), were assessed. Milk yield and composition data were analyzed using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and ascending hierarchical classification (AHC) followed by simple linear regression analysis. Results. AHC afforded five clusters of dairy farms, grouped according to milk yield and composition. MCA showed that cow age influenced mammary gland health, whereas feed management and lactation stage influenced milk composition. Regression analysis indicated that the relationships between milk composition parameters and lactation number had the same behavior in all clusters; milk protein and lactose contents decreased with increasing lactation number. A relationship was found among cow age, lactation stage, and mammary gland health, as well as among milk yield, cow age, and mammary gland health. Somatic cell count increased with cow age. Low milk yield was associated with high somatic cell counts. Mammary gland health was affected by lactation stage, and milk composition was influenced by feeding management and lactation number (cow age). Implications. The comprehension of the relationship between milk production and composition on dairy cattle farms can suggest specific decision-making for group of milk farmers, regarding nutritional and milk quality according to the production, composition and somatic cell count. Conclusion. A relationship was found among cow age, lactation stage, and mammary gland health as well as among milk yield, cow age, and mammary gland health. Multivariate statistical analysis helped to understand the relationship between milk production and composition in these dairy cattle farms. Based on these grouping results, we can suggest specific decision-making for each group of producers, regarding nutritional and milk quality according to the production, composition and somatic cell count.

Background. Poultry production is a tool for livelihood improvement and poverty alleviation in the developing countries. Indigenous chickens are numerous but lower in egg production performance than exotic chickens in Ethiopia. Objective. To compare egg yield, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality, and egg quality traits of Normal feathered local (LL), Sasso-RIR (SRSR) and their F1-cross (LSR) chickens under on-station conditions. Methodology. Data on egg production, feed intake and mortality were collected for 33 weeks whereas egg quality was assessed at 6, 9 and 12 months of age at poultry farm of Hawassa University. The experiment was laid out with Completely Randomized Design with four replications. Results. Next to SRSR chickens, LSR performed higher than LL chickens in terms of egg number per hen (96.8), egg weight (46.9 g/egg), daily feed intake (102 g/hen), body weight (1882 g/hen), albumen height (5.97 mm), albumen weight (27.2 g/egg) and albumen weight ratio (56.8). FCR was best, intermediate and worst for SRSR (4.19), LL (4.57), and LSR (5.20) chickens, respectively. Higher egg weight (52.9 g), yolk weight (18.3 g), albumen weight (28.9 g), and yolk weight ratio (35.1) were obtained from eggs of older hens whereas higher albumen weight ratio (59.4) and shell weight ratio (11.0) were obtained from eggs of younger hens. For LL chickens, the lowest values of egg weight, egg length, yolk color, albumen weight, albumen weight ratio were obtained at older ages whereas the lowest value of yolk weight ratio was obtained at younger ages. Implications. The results of the present study contribute in knowing the effects of cross-breeding of LL chicken with SRSR chicken on egg yield and quality. Conclusions. The exotic blood of Sasso-RIR chicken had played a significant role in upgrading most of the economically important egg production and quality traits. However, the influence of genotype on some egg quality traits depends on laying age of hen.

Meningkatnya berbagai macam ancaman dan serangan, mengharuskan sistem keamanan informasi juga lebih ditingkatkan. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) sebagai salah satu sistem untuk melakukan deteksi dan pencegahan, juga harus ditingkatkan kemampuannya dalam mengamankan jaringan. Saat ini, jenis IDS yang berbasis signature masih memiliki kekurangan, yaitu tidak mampu mendeteksi ancaman atau serangan yang belum diketahui, seperti serangan aktivitas beacon yang biasanya dilakukan oleh malware berjenis ransomware atau trojan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendetekatan atau tools lain untuk melengkapi kekurangan dari IDS jenis ini. Real Intelligence Threat Analytics (RITA) adalah tools berbasis anomali yang melakukan deteksi aktivitas beacon melalui analisis statistik dan algoritma K-means clustering didalam sebuah lalu lintas jaringan. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan analisis terhadap penggunaan IDS Snort pada tools RITA dalam mendeteksi aktivitas beacon dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen yang diperinci dalam tujuh tahap penelitian. Pengujian terhadap deteksi aktivitas beacon dilakukan terhadap 3 buah PCAP dan skenario aktivitas beacon (live beaconing) selama 1 jam. Setelah melakukan pengujian dilakukan analisis terhadap hasil pengujian. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa IDS Snort dapat digunakan sebagai data input RITA dimana terlebih dahulu format log IDS Snort harus diubah menjadi format log IDS Bro/Zeek yang berbentuk TSV/JSON. Sehingga tools RITA dapat dijadikan sebagai solusi alternatif untuk mendeteksi aktivitas beacon pada IDS Snort.

In Iran, Armenian people due to their vitality, the mass exiles gradually grew into an organized community that kept its national identity, language, religion, traditions and diverse arts inherited from the homeland, and most importantly, not to be assimilated. The Armenian colonies of Iran have built remarkable and valuable cultural assets such as, monasteries and churches, rooted their faith, traditions and customs during the centuries of their existence. The Iranian-Armenian communities are divided into the dioceses of Atrpatakan, Isfahan, and Tehran. The daily problems of the communities are solved through the work of religious leaders and the diocesan council. More than 341 monasteries, churches and shrines were built in Iran, but only 123 withstand today.

This article refers to the upheavals in Armenia-Iran relations and their impact on Armenian citizens. The work was made possible thanks to the numerous surveys conducted by two organizations operating in Armenia: the Caucasus Research Resource Center (CRRC) and the International Republican Institute (IRI). These surveys and the analyzes in the article clearly show the expectations in Armenian society towards the southern neighbor, as well as the extent of the impact of the failure of these expectations on the people. It is obvious that the public is influenced mainly by information flows. In the 1990s the state media was the main source of the information, and the state used to shape the news according to its policy priorities. Nowadays, due to the development of information technologies, the mushrooming of news media and especially the expansion of social networks, the information is not only impossible to control, but also very often social platforms are used to spread disinformation and cause an incorrect understanding among the public, like it happened during the Armenian-Azerbaijani war. After the 2020 war, the confidence of the Armenian society that Iran would somehow, even out of its own interests, intervene in the existing problems gradually faded. There were few official statements from the high-ranking Iranian leadership in 2021-2022 stating that Iran will not allow any violation of the territorial integrity of Armenia and emphasizing the importance of the Armenia-Iran land border. This development caused some positive dynamics in the attitude of the Armenian public, at least on an emotional level.
Teaching Law and Development in India: Reflections, Insights and Challenges
Authors: Grover Neeraj , Thiruvengadam Arun
Published: August 2022

In 2016, Azim Premji University, Bangalore launched an LL.M. program with a specialisation in Law and Development. A course called ‘Law and Development’ is taught as a mandatory core course in the first semester of the program. Across a period of six years, the two of us have taught this core course either individually or in collaboration with each other. As the LL.M. enters its seventh year, we reflect on the experience of teaching the course, by taking stock of its strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we present an account of the motivations of the program and the course, the challenges we faced, how we engaged with these challenges, and our reflections on the experience of teaching the course. In this recounting, we focus specifically on three aspects: (a) the interdisciplinary character of Law and Development and the consequent difficulty in ascertaining its boundaries, given the vast scope of the subject; (b) building an Indian context to the subject of Law and Development while preserving its comparative aspects; and (c) our reflections on teaching the subject from our individual vantage points of a private and a public lawyer respectively.
Creativity and Digitalization

Published: August 2022

This article is a part of the discussion of Ilya Kasavin’s article “Creativity as a social phenomenon” and is devoted to the analysis of creativity in the era of digitalization. The author discusses creativity in computer programs and the actions of assistant robots. They can be creative because they are able to find new solutions to various problems. The Go program used new strategies that human players had never played before; another program predicted the crystal structure of various substances that had not yet been studied experimentally. The concept of implicit knowledge is used to answer the question about the specifics of creativity. H. Collins singled out three types of tacit knowledge: relative, somatic and collective. The first is associated with the acquirement of various procedures – like cooking, the second – various skills related to body control, such as swimming or cycling, the third – social and cultural rules. Only the third type of tacit knowledge is associated with creativity. Programs and assistant robots can master relative and somatic implicit knowledge. They are not able to work with collective implicit knowledge. Creativity cannot be digitized. At the same time, digitalization forms important social prerequisites for the development of creativity. Currently, a new social group is being formed – the precariat. This is a marginal group; its representatives are not very firmly included in social structures. It is possible to single out the scientific precariat. With the help of digital technologies, it forms new ways, mechanisms, strategies and tools for solving various problems, form new ideas that expand our collective tacit knowledge.

Published: August 2022

Purpose In non-drainage scleral buckling, anterior chamber paracentesis is usually carried out to decrease intraocular pressure. When the buckling is extensive however, this technique may be inefficient and time consuming. In this study, we tried to determine if a mini 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy could be used as an efficient and safe alternative procedure to anterior chamber paracentesis for adjusting intraocular pressure during a non-drainage scleral buckling. Methods In this case series, 44 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (proliferative vitreoretinopathy stage < C) were included. In all cases, a mini 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed before buckle fixation and repeated if necessary. Complete retinal attachment was defined as the anatomical success. Results Forty-four eyes of 44 patients with mean age of 48.1 ± 18.2 years were included. Silicon buckle nº 276, sponge 505, and sponge 507 were utilized for 7, 34, and 3 eyes, respectively. Intravitreal injection of SF6 gas was performed for 54.5% of the eyes. Mean total time of the operation was 61 ± 16 min and the mean time for vitrectomy was 87 ± 31 s. Complete retinal attachment in 37 and incomplete attachment in 4 eyes were achieved after single operation that was a success rate of 93.2%. One had more than usual vitreous leak at the site of scleretomy and one developed a tiny vitreous hemorrhage at the sclerotomy site. Three sclerotomy sites needed suturing. Conclusion The anatomical outcome and the safety observed in this study were comparable to the current methods reported in the literature. Therefore, if anterior chamber paracentesis fails to adjust intraocular pressure during a non-drainage scleral buckling, performing a small gauge mini vitrectomy is safe and helpful.

The Human Perspective in Consumer Ethics and Animal Welfare Issues: Envisioning a Future for Change
Authors: Bonadonna Alessandro , Bollani Luigi , Peira Giovanni
Published: August 2022

Animal welfare has been a subject of interest for the European Union since the 1970s, with the definition of animal protection guidelines during international transport, on farms and for slaughter. However, the Legislator’s concern found its highest expression in the Animal Welfare Protocol of the Treaty of Amsterdam, where animals are defined as sentient beings, therefore worthy of attention in the policies developed by the European Union and its Member States. Nowadays, the interpretation of the animal welfare concept as an element that contributes to increasing profitability is also integrated by respect for the animal’s feelings and, consequently, the related different biological manifestations. Food scandals and diseases, on the one hand, and the emergence of a new approach to consumer ethics, on the other, have also strongly sensitized the European population about the importance of protecting animal welfare. Based on the above considerations, this study provides a framework to understand whether animal welfare should merely be considered as a product of EU strategies dedicated to the economic and competitive performance of agricultural and agro-industrial enterprises or whether it can also be assessed as a useful tool to minimize the environmental impact, through breeding practices and food habits, and therefore encourage more sustainable development.

Published: August 2022

Nas últimas duas décadas, a ocorrência de depressão tem apresentado inclinação crescente entre a população de adolescentes, chamando atenção devido às características da doença se manifestarem de forma mais grave nessa população, decorrendo impacto negativo da doença na sua relação social, familiar e escolar. O tratamento da depressão mais propagado entre psiquiatras decorre do uso de psicofármacos, que de modo geral inibem a recaptação dos neurotransmissores ou diminuem a sua destruição, sucedendo num aumento dos neurotransmissores na fenda sináptica. Conquanto, em se tratando de adolescentes a escolha de psicofármacos deve atentar o menor risco de causar efeitos colaterais, assim como iniciar o tratamento com doses terapêuticas baixas, ao considerar a individualidade e fragilidade de cada organismo. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo geral realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o uso e prescrição de antidepressivos em adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos de idade. Os artigos científicos foram selecionados nas bases de dados eletrônicos do PubMed, LILACS e SciELO, com recorte temporal de 2011 a 2021, e idioma na língua portuguesa. Foi realizada análise detalhada dos artigos científicos, resultando 6 para análise.  De acordo com os resultados obtidos, conclui-se que os Inibidores Seletivos de Recaptação de Serotonina é a classe de antidepressivos de maior uso em adolescentes, sobretudo em virtude de ser de última geração, apresentar menos efeitos colaterais e ter boa adesão ao tratamento.

The implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Plan for 2021-2024 revealed the need for a scientific analysis of the problems of legal regulation of the regulation of anti-corruption components of the legal status (status) of municipal employees. The subject of the study are normative and methodological sources that consolidate the rights, duties and prohibitions related to municipal service, as well as mechanisms for their implementation. The author examines in detail the practical problems arising in the application of anti-corruption legislation related to the rights of municipal employees to perform other paid work, to purchase and own securities, the obligation to notify about the possible occurrence of a conflict of interest, the restriction of donation in connection with the exercise of professional official activity, the presentation of information and income, expenses, property and property obligations. Special attention is paid to some legal positions of the supreme courts (the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation) and courts of general jurisdiction related to the peculiarities of the legal status of employees. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that it is a comprehensive study of the problems of legal regulation of anti-corruption components of the legal status (status) of municipal employees. The main conclusions of the study are the identified gaps and conflicts in the regulation of the issues under consideration. In addition, an assessment is given of the formed judicial practice in cases on the statements of prosecutors about the appeal to the income of the Russian Federation of property in respect of which evidence of its acquisition for legitimate income is not provided. Among the most significant results are the formulated proposals for improving the current federal legislation on combating corruption in the municipal service system.

SnTe is a good alternative to PbTe in the thermoelectric (TE) applications, in that it is a compound with no toxic element Pb. Besides, the compound SnTe has a relatively narrow bandgap (0.3–0.4 eV) and high Sn vacancy concentration (Snv) as well. Accordingly, it gives a high carrier concentration (1021 cm–3) at room temperature (RT), which is not favorable for thermoelectrics, therefore the regulation of both the electronic and phonon scattering mechanisms is strongly required. Up to date, there have been many approaches to improving its TE performance. The typical examples are those involving the valence band convergence, nanostructuring, substitutional and interstitial defects, and lattice softening, which are all practical and effective to improve the TE performance of SnTe. However, in this work the entropy is taken as an indicator to design the SnTe-based TE material with multicomponents and then optimize its TE performance. The detailed scheme involves the chemical composition design step by step. At first, SnTe alloys with 5% GaTe to form a solid solution Sn0.95Ge0.05Te, aiming to increase the solubility of the foreign species. The second step is to form another solid solution (Sn0.95Ge0.05Te)0.95(Ag2Se)0.05 via the alloying Sn0.95Ge0.05Te with 5% Ag2Se. The purpose of this step is to reduce the p-type carrier concentration of the system, for the species Ag2Se is a typical n-type semiconductor. The last step is to form a series of solid solutions (Sn0.95–xGe0.05BixTe)0.95(Ag2Se)0.05 by substituting different amounts of Bi on Sn in (Sn0.95Ge0.05Te)0.95(Ag2Se)0.05, to further enhance the configurational entropy (ΔS). Because of the above approaches, both the carrier concentration and thermal conductivity decrease while the highest TE figure of merit (ZT) increases from 0.22 for the pristine SnTe to ~0.8 for the alloy (Sn0.95–xGe0.05BixTe)0.95(Ag2Se)0.05 (x = 0.075). This result proves that the entropy engineering is a practical way to improve the TE performance of SnTe, and at the same time it illustrates that it is very important to harmonize the entropy engineering with other electronic and phonon scattering mechanisms, in order to improve the TE performance of SnTe effectively.

With the rapid development of laser technology, it is possible to control optical waveforms by coherent superposition of electric fields with multiple color components, which creates conditions for generating the ultra-short isolated attosecond pulses (IAP). Based on the strong-field approximation theory, this work focuses on the IAP generated by the optimized multicolor field synthesized by two fundamental near-infrared lasers and their second harmonic fields. The results show that by applying frequency-doubled pulses to the near-infrared laser fields and optimizing the laser parameters, the emission properties of high order harmonics from single atom can be greatly improved, and the nearly attochirp-free harmonic emission can be realized within a certain energy range. As a result, shorter IAPs are obtained. With the consideration of the macroscopic propagation effect of gas, the IAP with a pulse width up to 40 as is generated under appropriate experimental conditions. Finally, the effects of gas pressure on the properties of the high-order harmonic and attosecond pulses are also investigated. This study provides useful theoretical guidance for generating ultra-short IAPs with near-infrared laser pulses in experiment.

Background

Transfer of embryos at the blastocyst stage is one of the best approaches for achieving a higher success rate in In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment as it demonstrates an improved uterine and embryonic synchrony at implantation. Despite novel biochemical and genetic markers proposed for the prediction of embryo viability in recent years, the conventional morphological grading of blastocysts remains the classical way of selection in routine practice. This study aims to investigate the association between the morphological features of blastocysts and pregnancy outcomes.

Methods

This prospective study included women undergoing single or double frozen blastocyst transfers following their autologous cycles in a period between October 2020 and September 2021. The morphological grades (A—good, B—average, and C—poor) of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) of blastocysts with known implantation were compared to assess their predictive potential of pregnancy outcome. It was further explored by measuring the relationship between the two variables using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

Results

A total of 1,972 women underwent frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles with a total of 3,786 blastocysts. Known implantation data (KID) from 2,060 blastocysts of 1,153 patients were subjected to statistical analysis, the rest were excluded. Implantation rates (IR) from transfer of ICM/TE grades AA, AB, BA, BB were observed as 48.5%, 39.4%, 23.4% and 25% respectively. There was a significantly higher IR observed in blastocysts with ICM grade A (p < 0.001) than those with B irrespective of their TE scores. The analysis of the interaction between the two characteristics confirmed the superiority of ICM over TE as a predictor of the outcome. The rank biserial correlation value for ICM was also greater compared to that of TE (0.11 vs 0.05).

Conclusion

This study confirms that the morphology of ICM of the blastocyst is a stronger predictor of implantation and clinical pregnancy than that of TE and can be utilized as a biomarker of viability.

Introduction: Pregnancy requires women to provide calcium to foetus in amounts that may exceed their daily intake. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a susceptible marker of systemic inflammation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates foeto-placental mineral homeostasis and skeletal development and stimulates placental calcium transfer. The increase in calcitonin and calcitriol levels are significant in the transport of maternal calcium to the fetus and in the anticipation, and revival of maternal bone loss. These changes have direct implications on calcium metabolism and cause decreased albumin level, inflammation, increase in extracellular fluid volume, increase in renal function, and placental calcium transfer. Aim: To assess the serum levels of CRP, calcitonin, and PTH in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy and also to compare these parameters with non pregnant women. Materials and Methods: The present case-control study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry of Nootan Medical College and Research Centre, Visnagar, Gujarat, from June 2021 to October 2021. A total of 150 subjects (75 age-and sex-matched apparently healthy well-nourished non pregnant females, and 75 pregnant females) were included. CRP, PTH, and calcitonin were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using Independent t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r). Results: Mean age of participants in case group was 32.16±10.97 (mean±SD). The mean age of control was 30.54±6.63. Serum CRP level of cases was significantly higher 3.2±2.2 than the level in controls 2.3±1.8 (p=0.003). Serum PTH level of cases 31.6±10.4 was significantly lower (p=0.0012) than the level in controls 45.9±9.8. Serum calcitonin level of cases 281±143 was significantly higher (p<0.001) than the level in controls 103±46. Conclusion: There was a significant increase in serum CRP level and serum calcitonin level in cases as compared with controls while there is decrease in serum PTH levels between these two groups.
