Las condiciones edáf icas presentes en los agroecosistemas pueden influir en el establecimiento y la efectividad de un agente de control microbiano para nematodos. Por esta razón, se propuso como objetivo de la presente investigación, evaluar el establecimiento in vitro de Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata en suelos agrícolas cubanos de tipo Ferralítico, Fluvisol y Pardo. Para ello, tres tipos de suelos se analizaron mediante la técnica suelo membrana, evaluándose en cada uno de ellos las poblaciones microbianas nativas, el crecimiento micelial y el crecimiento relativo del hongo nematófago de interés. Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado y el procesamiento estadístico de los datos se realizó mediante un ANOVA factorial y regresión lineal. Los resultados demostraron que, P. chlamydosporia var. catenulata creció y produjo clamidosporas en todas las condiciones edáf icas evaluadas, no obstante, el mayor crecimiento se registró en los suelos Fluvisol y Ferralítico comparado con el Pardo. Lo cual sugirió, que las mayores poblaciones microbianas nativas y el pH ácido presente en el suelo Pardo, pudieron afectar el crecimiento de este hongo. Los resultados conf irman que la especie fúngica nematófaga P. chlamydosporia var. catenulata posee capacidad de adaptación, persistencia y multiplicación en diferentes suelos y se sugiere su utilización en los suelos Fluvisol, Ferralítico y Pardo, siempre que no presenten un pH ácido ≤ 4.17.

El quitosano tiene propiedades promotoras del crecimiento y la nutrición de los cultivos. Es un bioestimulante que en estudios previos demostró su actividad sobre la regulación del crecimiento, promoción de la germinación y el vigor de las plantas e incremento del rendimiento agrícola. En el presente trabajo se evaluó el efecto individual o combinado de la aplicación de quitosano por imbibición de semilla y vía foliar al inicio de floración sobre la respuesta agronómica (crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento) de las variedades de tomate ESEN y L-43 establecidos en condiciones de campo con un diseño de bloques al azar con tres repeticiones. Los resultados muestran que la combinación de aplicar quitosano en las semillas en dosis de 1 g L-1 y a inicio de floración en dosis de 300 mg ha-1 estimuló las variables evaluadas asociadas al rendimiento, incrementando éste, hasta 60.9 Mg ha-1 en la variedad ESEN y hasta 27 Mg ha-1 en la variedad L-43, lo que representa un 28.5 y 25% de incremento respectivamente, al compararlo con el tratamiento control. Con lo cual se concluye que el quitosano como bioestimulante aplicado como tratamiento conjunto durante la imbibición de semilla y vía foliar al inicio de la floración tiene efectos signif icativos mejorando las variables número de flores por plantas, número de frutos, masa de los frutos y rendimiento para ambas variedades en comparación con el tratamiento control, obteniéndose rendimiento entre 47-60.9 Mg ha-1 al aplicar por solo 42-43 Mg ha-1 en el tratamiento control.

The intensification in Japanese-Indian cooperation has been seen for the last few years. If earlier the parties declared more interest in expanding bilateral contacts, but did not take serious practical steps to achieve that, now the list of cooperation areas grows and such a trend is likely to continue in the long term. For Japan, relations with India, which is one of the largest markets for Japanese cars, high-tech products and equipment, are mainly economic in nature, but one should not discount the efforts of the Land of the Rising Sun aimed at curbing Chinese trade and economic expansion in South Asia. On the other hand in partnership with Japan, India sees opportunities for attracting the advanced industrial and energy technologies, as well as diversifying its foreign policy in order to strengthen its leading position in the South Asian region. Studying the international cooperation institutions of the two countries has an obvious relevance, particularly given the increasing role of India as one of the world’s major economies, and will allow to identify the key trends in the development of that cooperation on the basis of which it will be possible to make predictions on the future structure of regional foreign policy cooperation.

Dead Wrong: Capital Punishment, Wrongful Convictions, and Serious Mental Illness
Authors: Carl Alexis E.
Published: January 2021

Serious mental illness (SMI), wrongful convictions, and capital punishment is explored, as having a SMI may heighten an individual’s risk of being wrongfully convicted and consequently dealt a capital sentence. In Atkins v. Virginia, the Supreme Court banned the use of capital punishment for individuals with intellectual disabilities, ruling it unconstitutional, due to the diminished moral and intellectual capacity held by these individuals. Based on these Supreme Court findings, an argument is made that SMI is a compelling mitigating factor that ought to disqualify the pursuit of capital punishment. Due to the cognitive and volitional impairments associated with SMI, people with SMI are especially vulnerable to being wrongfully convicted of a crime and further wrongfully sentenced to death. Data to build this argument include that those with SMI are more likely to: 1) falsely confess; 2) struggle with assisting in their defense; 3) be perceived as an unreliable witness; 4) appear as though they lack remorse; and 5) face prejudices from judges and jurors; which all contribute to wrongful convictions. An explanation of these vulnerabilities are discussed in detail by examining 26 case vignettes (derived from the National Registry of Exonerations and other sources) where such individuals were wrongfully convicted due to SMI. Data from the National Registry of Exonerations is further analyzed, leading to discussion of the disproportionate co-occurrence of wrongful convictions that are stimulated by SMI. This paper concludes with an analysis of reforms and a discussion of how to enact safeguards to protect individuals with SMI.

Child Stunting and Land Degradation under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Evidence from 23 Developing Countries
Authors: Liu Suyu
Published: January 2021

Child stunting and land degradation have received an increasing attention from scholars and practitioners. Both of them are also measured by indicators under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the research on the relationship between child stunting and land degradation is insufficient, especially with the perspective of SDGs. This article uses empirical data of 23 developing countries to explore the relationship between child stunting and land degradation, with the controlling of GDP per capita of the selected countries. Path analysis is added into the traditional OLS method. The results show that land degradation has little impact on child stunting in the selected developing countries, but socioeconomic status affect child stunting significantly. A number of explanations and implications are generated. In particular, several developing countries’ strong reliance on food importation may be a reason of why land degradation does not affect child stunting. The interactions between different SDGs are also noted.

EXPECTING THE RETURN OF UIN SUMATERA UTARA'S latHIVa IN THE PREVENTION OF HIV AND AIDS IN NORTH SUMATERA
Authors: Ramadhan Achmad
Published: January 2021

As a reflection, when latHIVa was established as a non-structural institution at UIN Sumatera Utara (UiN SU) to tackle HIV and AIDS, the discovery of HIV and AIDS cases at the international level were around 34.3 million people living with HIV, while in 2019 it was estimated that 36.9 million people living with HIV. The cases of HIV and AIDS at the national level in 2000 were 1500 people living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) while in 2019 there were 349,882 PLWHA in North Sumatra, and in 2000 there were 30 people living with HIV, while the cases of HIV / AIDS at the level of North Sumatra Province up to August 2019 were 9362 PLWHA. The description of the HIV and AIDS case above describes the epidemic process since the formation of the UIN Sumatera Utara's latHIVa until August 2019. The HIV and AIDS epidemic is like an iceberg phenomenon, which means the numbers of HIV and AIDS cases found above are not the actual numbers. HIV and AIDS do exist. Therefore, WHO (World Health Organization) has formulated that to find out the real numbers, the numbers obtained must be multiplied by 100-200. Thus, if 9362 cases of HIV and AIDS in North Sumatra is  multiplied by 100, then there might be 936,200 cases of PLWHA in North Sumatra. Thus, there are around 900 thousand PLWHA who have not been found in North Sumatra.

Objetivou-se reunir evidências de validade e precisão da Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS) em contexto brasileiro. Para tanto, foram realizados dois estudos. No Estudo 1, participaram 210 universitários, com idade média de 23,21 (DP = 7,08). Responderam a TPS e questões demográficas. A análise fatorial exploratória sugeriu uma solução unidimensional, com alfa de Cronbach (α) e ômega de McDonald (ω) iguais a 0,88. No Estudo 2, participaram 274 universitários, com idade média de 23,72 (DP = 7,61). Uma análise fatorial confirmatória apontou indicadores adequados (CFI = 0,97; TLI = 0,96; RMSEA= 0,06; Pclose = 0,28). Ademais, a confiabilidade foi satisfatória (α = 0,86; ω = 0,70). Foram encontradas evidências psicométricas para a realidade brasileira, podendo a TPS ser uma ferramenta útil para interessados na temática.

Published: January 2021

In Uganda, there is a problem of graduate unemployment which has caused teachers, employers, policymakers, and the entire community to appreciate a critical role in bridging the existing gaps in education. This study examined how Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives can be used in bridging the education gap in higher institutions of learning. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design, with 180 participants, purposively selected was involved. The study was conducted in two public universities and one private university in South Western Uganda. Data was mainly collected using interviews and focus group discussions. Ethically, permission was sought from relevant authorities, the purpose of the study was clearly explained, participation was purely voluntary and confidentiality was ensured. Respondents described the cognitive domain as activities of the mind, affective domain as the ways in which people deal with situations emotionally and the psychomotor domain as the skills attained. The study suggests using cognitive, affective and psychomotor methods of teaching. The study recommends need to directly teach higher order thinking skills, shift from pedagogy to andragogy, instructors of higher institutions of learning should wisely select sources of content, determine how to present that content effectively, and assess students’ progress in relation to that content and activities that promote psychomotor learning especially apprenticeship, internship and school practice should be encouraged.
Neumotórax espontáneo y enfisema bulloso bilateral
Authors: Germán Brito-Sosa Germán , Iraizoz Barrios Ana María
Published: January 2021

Introducción. El objetivo de este artículo fue reportar el caso de un paciente con antecedente de enfisema bulloso bilateral que le ocasionó un neumotórax persistente de difícil tratamiento. Caso clínico. Se trata de un paciente de 50 años de edad con diagnóstico de neumotórax asociado con un enfisema bulloso bilateral, en quien estaba contraindicado el tratamiento quirúrgico. El cuadro clínico comenzó con dolor en el hemitórax derecho y disnea, que se fue intensificando hasta el punto de no tolerar el decúbito. En la radiografía de tórax se observó colapso del pulmón derecho con múltiples bulas en ambos pulmones, por lo que se practicó una pleurotomía mínima alta derecha. La evolución del paciente no fue favorable por persistir el neumotórax, lo cual llevó al uso de un tratamiento alternativo. Discusión. En los pacientes con neumotórax persistente por enfisema bulloso bilateral sin indicación quirúrgica, el talco es una alternativa menos invasiva para lograr una sínfisis pleural con buenos resultados, método cuya utilidad se demuestra.
Hiperparatiroidismo primario: conceptos para el cirujano general
Authors: Sánchez De Guzmán Gabriel , Ariza Gutiérrez Aníbal Ariza Gutiérrez
Published: January 2021

Durante las últimas décadas, la incidencia del hiperparatiroidismo primario ha venido en aumento, muy probablemente relacionado con la mayor accesibilidad a los estudios diagnósticos; sin embargo, la forma más común de presentación clínica del hiperparatiroidismo primario es asintomática, en más del 80% de los pacientes. En la actualidad, es menos frecuente el diagnóstico por las complicaciones renales (urolitiasis) u óseas (osteítis fibrosa quística) asociadas. Un tumor benigno de la glándula paratiroides (adenoma único), es la principal causa de esta enfermedad. Por tanto, su tratamiento usualmente es quirúrgico. A pesar de ello, no es frecuente el manejo de esta patología por el cirujano general. En este artículo se revisan conceptos claves para el diagnóstico y manejo de esta enfermedad para el médico residente y especialista en Cirugía general.

he structure, morphology, microhardness and ultimate detachment strength of a welded joint «brass L63—invar 36N» made by the explosion welding have been investigated. With the selected welding parameters and plate thickness (brass — 12 mm, invar — 8 mm), the shape of the joint boundary is wavy with stable parameters (amplitude and length). Cast inclusions of the composition CuZnFeNi with microhardness up to 500 HV were found in the troughs and on the crests of the waves. It was found out that microhardness of the heat-affected zone on the side of brass was by 50% higher than microhardness of the base material, on the side of invar — by 20% higher. Ultimate detachment strength of the joint is 550 MPa, that is higher than strength of the starting materials.

Kriminalitas, ketidak adilan, korupsi, kekerasan pada anak, pelanggaran HAM, menjadi bukti bahwa telah terjadi krisis jati diri dan karakteristik pada bangsa Indonesia. Budi pekerti luhur, kesantunan dan relegiusitas yang dijunjung tinggi dan menjadi budaya bangsa Indonesia selama ini seakan-akan menjadi terasa asing dan jarang ditemui ditengah-tengah masyarakat.
PPP1R13B is a differentially expressed gene in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 13B, encoded by PPP1R13B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. PPP1R13B mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of PPP1R13B in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of PPP1R13B expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.
