Biotope preferences in groups of closely related species: a case study of Sylvaemus (Mammalia)
Authors:   V. N. Karazin National University of Kharkiv (Kharkiv, Ukraine), Markovska Oksana
Published: February 2024

The trapping of small mammals was carried out in 2017 to 2023 in the territory of the Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. In total, 19 biotopes were studied: different types of oak forest, dry and floodplain meadows, riparian vegetation, areas of the steppe, field protection forest strips, fields, as well as various ecotones. The trapping of small mammals was carried out using the standard trap-line method on 93 trap lines. With a trapping effort of 17 310 trap-nights, 1295 individuals of small mammals were caught, 689 of which belonged to the genus Sylvaemus. Three species of mice of the genus Sylvaemus were found in the territory of Kharkiv Oblast during the study period: Sylvaemus uralensis, Sylvaemus sylvaticus, and Sylvaemus tauricus. According to the relative abundance, wood mice can be arranged in the following order: uralensis > sylvaticus > tauricus. The cyclicity of annual fluctuations in relative abundance is not noticeable. The similarity of the abundance fluctuation in S. sylvaticus and S. tauricus was revealed, taking into account that these are competing species. S. uralensis and S. sylvaticus lead the top three dominant species in the overall dominance structure of small mammals. The highest relative abundance of wood mice during the study period was recorded on dry meadows, on the border of riparian vegetation with fields and floodplain meadows, on the border of field protective forest strips with fields, and in dry maple-linden-oak forest. S. uralensis belongs to the eurytopic species, is found in almost all studied biotopes, avoids oak forests, occurs on the edges of forests, dominates in abundance in open biotopes, in particular in the steppe, on dry meadows, riparian vegetation, and field protection forest strips. S. sylvaticus is also prone to eurytopy, it is recorded in significant abundance in both open and forest biotopes, mostly prefers riparian vegetation, field protection forest strips, dry coniferous forest, fresh maple-linden-oak forest and forest edges. S. tauricus is found mostly in forest biotopes, in particular in various types of oak forest and on forest edges, it prefers field protection forest strips with an old stand of oak, linden, and robinia. All three species of mice of the genus Sylvaemus are common species.

Frogs of the genus Rana Linnaeus, 1758 are represented in the steppe zone of Ukraine by their southernmost populations. The distribution of brown frogs in the steppe zone of Ukraine is closely related to the floodplain forests of major rivers (Dnipro, Dnister, Danube, Southern Bug, Oril, Samara, Donets, etc.). The paper presents for the first time data on the distribution, ecological and population features, habitats, specifics of reproduction and development of brown frogs. New habitats of R. arvalis were found in the floodplain habitats of the lower reaches of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast and populations were confirmed in Dnipropetrovsk and Kirovohrad oblasts. The southern border is intrazonal. The new southernmost localities are described from Kherson Oblast (the villages of Pravi Solontsi and Krynky). The habitats belong to forest type habitats (G). The mean abundance of frogs is 5–10 individuals per 1 km of route and can reach 50 individuals per 10 m2 during the spawning season (Black Forest Reserve, Kirovohrad Oblast). The breeding season is in late March to early April at air temperatures of +3–4 to 8–12°C and water temperatures of +7–9°C. The mating process is short. The Dnipro isolates of R. arvalis may be of relict nature, form a series of refugia and be of important historical and indicator value. Given the overall reduction in the range of R. arvalis within its core area, active populations in the south can be valuable reserves for the conservation of the species and the sustainability of steppe biodiversity. Two other species, R. temporaria and R. dalmatina, were not found and their habitat within the steppe zone has not yet been confirmed. As typical forest species, they are common closer to the forest-steppe zone. Given the current state of brown frog populations in the steppe zone of Ukraine, their low numbers and isolation, they need regional protection along with their habitats. The issue of determining the origin of the identified populations in order to form an idea of the historical and genetic value of the southernmost populations of brown frogs in Ukraine remains promising.

Published: February 2024

African Swine Fever (ASF) has caused negative effects in the swine industry in various countries of the world, including Indonesia. Bali is one of the most severely affected provinces in Indonesia. Phylogenetic study to determine the genotype and serogroup of the ASF virus found in Bali has never been done before. In this study, virus was obtained from an infected spleen sample, designated as Bali/2023, and two gene fragments, namely p72 (B646L) and CD2v (EP402R), were then amplified by PCR and sequenced by Sanger method. The DNA sequences of p72 and CD2v virus was then compared with sequences from other countries for genetic analysis. The results showed that Bali/2023 virus is genetically very close to viruses found in other Asian countries, mainly viruses isolated in China and Vietnam in 2019. These genetic analyses results placed Bali/2023 virus in genotype II and serogroup 8.
Emergency Preparedness for Guests with Mobility Impairments and Frequency of Visits in Five-Star Hotels in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors:   Emergency Preparedness for Guests with Mobility Impairments and Frequency of Visits in Five-Star Hotels in Nairobi City County, Kenya, Kwambai Ketem Hillary
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study was therefore to establish the influence of emergency preparedness on the frequency of visits to five-star hotels in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The specific goals of this research were: to record the types of hazards encountered by five-star hotels in Nairobi City County; to identify the areas of those hotels where emergencies occur; to learn about the barriers to emergency response services for guests with mobility impairments in those hotels; and to identify the factors in emergency response systems that significantly influence visit by guests with mobility impairments. The study was informed by two theories; the theory of time constraints on leisure activities and the theory of social oppression. Ten five-star hotels in Nairobi County served as the sample for this census-style investigation. The sample size was determined by a systematic sampling procedure. The data was gathered through the use of semi-structured questionnaires that were administered by the researcher. Data was coded and analyzed in SPSS using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Relationships between the independent variable and the dependent variables were determined using multiple regressions. Tables, charts, and bars were used to show the study's findings. The findings showed that the majority of the five-star hotels had not frequently encountered several types of emergencies. The study found that employee training for emergency preparedness was positively and significantly related to the frequency of visits by guests with mobility impairments to five-star hotels in Nairobi City County, Kenya at (β=0.595, p˂.001). The study concludes that while most sections of these five-star hotels, like kitchens and swimming pools, are perceived as safe zones with minimal emergencies, the parking area emerges as a potential concern. The hotels' commitment to staff training in emergency preparedness is evident, especially in hazard identification and spill response. The study thus recommends that the management of five-star hotels in Nairobi City County should conduct thorough risk assessments, considering both high and low-frequency hazards. Emergency protocols should also be in place not only for situations like terrorist threats but also for seemingly less immediate threats like floods and utility failures. Keywords: Emergency preparedness, Risk assessment, Five-Star Hotels, Mobility impairments, Nairobi City County

Abstract: Rebecca Clarke, 1886–1979, was a trailblazing British violist and composer. She was one of the first women to play in a professional symphony orchestra, and her compositions were exemplary, even though the press in her lifetime doubted they were written by a woman. This article provides a detailed biography of Clarke’s life, an overview of her general compositional style, pedagogical considerations for singing her music, and a closer look at eight of her strongest songs. For each song, a synopsis of the poem and musical analysis is presented, as well as details about range, tessitura, song length and suggested voice type.
Reframing Bel Canto in the Twenty-First Century: Dovetailing Tradition with Science-Informed Pedagogy
Authors: Hoch Matthew
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Author Matthew Hoch explores the meaning, context, and viability of the term “bel canto” in the third decade of the twenty-first century, using James Stark’s seminal 1999 book Bel Canto: A History of Vocal Pedagogy as a starting point for reflection. Amplifying Stark’s desire to find common ground among various schools of historical pedagogy as well as the nexus between the master–pupil tradition and science-informed modern era, Hoch contemplates shifts that have occurred in the past quarter century while also highlighting some of bel canto’s timeless principles. Hoch suggests an expansion of Stark’s definition of bel canto adapted to the needs of the modern voice pedagogue.

Master of None: Challenging the Master-Apprentice Model
Authors: Manternach Brian
Published: February 2024

Abstract: A 2006 research study sought to identify specific characteristics that make for outstanding studio instruction by recording, observing, and analyzing three renowned artist-teachers. Some of the practices of the observed teachers seemed to embody a “master-apprentice” or “teacher-centered” model of teaching, which is increasingly falling out of favor among modern pedagogues. This article identifies the specific elements from the study that were most indicative of a master-apprentice approach. It outlines potential problems with these practices and presents alternative approaches that are intended to reflect a more student-centered pedagogy.
Focusing the Scope: The Voice Practitioner’s Role in Trauma-Informed Care
Authors: Monti Elisa , Durham Megan , Reynolds Allison
Published: February 2024

Abstract: The phrase trauma-informed has gained popularity in the singing voice community, especially since the outbreak of COVID-19. Although it is a critical area of education and research, there can be a lack of consensus on its definition, and how we can responsibly integrate trauma-informed principles into voice education. In this article, the authors touch on the definition, effects, and statistics of trauma and on principles of trauma-informed practices. Additionally, the authors offer suggested guidelines to be supportive in the potential presence of trauma-related reactivity, but in a manner that is completely within the scope of the voice specialist.

A feminist at work: Gender, power and organisational life
Authors: Nicolson Paula
Published: February 2024

There are undeniably clear differences between women’s and men’s expectations, attitudes and behaviour in relation to work organisations, and these distinctions solidify as individuals rise up the hierarchy. Men push for career success, and achieve seniority, or they come to terms with having underachieved. Women’s experience is more complex. Socialisation into femininity is not as clear cut as masculinity and women do not have equivalent expectations of certain success. Women who do succeed in management or the professions are more likely to increase the problems and stress in their lives than if they opt out and the more senior a woman becomes the more she is likely to be stressed at work than a man of equivalent seniority. There are good social reasons why women find the high-flying life difficult, particularly if they are mothers. However, there are additional difficulties for senior women particularly in relation to the management of psychological boundaries between self, social context and in particular their sense of gendered subjectivity. The desire to achieve professionally does not preclude the desire to be feminine, enjoy being a woman and being seen as a woman with a sexual, intellectual and emotional presence that is feminine.

The primary objective of this study was to develop a rapidly dissolving tablet containing an antihypertensive drug, candesartan cilexetil (CAND). The research work focused on improving solubility and in vitro dissolution of drugs using spherical agglomeration technique. Spherical agglomerates of CAND were developed using PVPK-30 as polymer and dichloromethane as bridging liquid. A spherical agglomerate of CAND was used to formulate fast dissolving tablet (FDT) with different superdisintegrants like Crospovidone and Cross carmellose sodium. The prepared powder blend was evaluated for different pre-compression parameters like solubility, compressibility index, Hausner’s ratio and flow property and post-compression parameters including in vitro dissolution study. The solubility of prepared agglomerates was found to be 0.15 to 0.91 mg mL-1, and it was higher than the pure drug (0.00071 mg mL-1). In vitro drug release study of optimized batch of FDT has shown 95.47 % of drug release. From the results, it was revealed that the prepared FDT using the agglomeration technique might be used to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of CAND to augment acute and chronic hypertension therapy.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a frequent as well as violent type of brain tumor. In this research work, different carmustine formulations were prepared and screened for their cytotoxic activity against U-87 MG glioblastoma and normal human fibroblast L-929 cell lines. The flexible liposomes embedded in situ nasal gel exhibited maximum percentage of growth inhibition against U-87 MG glioblastoma cell line, and in situ nasal gel exhibited lowest percentage of growth inhibition against U-87 MG glioblastoma cell lines. Flexible liposomes embedded in situ nasal gel is observed to be safe and biocompatible against normal human fibroblast L-929 cell line. In cellular uptake study, U-87 MG cell line treated with flexible liposomes embedded in situ thermoreversible intranasal gel emitted stronger and higher intensity fluorescence. It seems that the presence of flexible liposomes embedded in situ thermoreversible nasal gel inside the tumor cells, and would be the best carmustine delivery approach for the management of GBM.
Life
and death in the Roman period Pula – A bioanthropological analysis of human
skeletal remains from the Ozad Arene site
Authors: Bencerić Veronika , Godinović Mikačić Teodora , Carić Mario
Published: February 2024

Human skeletal and dental remains are the primary focus of bioarchaeological research, as different diseases and pathological conditions can leave marks on the bones and teeth. Study of these remains provides insights into the lifestyle, health and quality of life of past populations. In this paper, the human skeletal remains from the Ozad Arene archaeological site in Pula (Istria, Croatia), originating from 25 graves and four bone assemblages dated between the 1st and the 4th centuries CE, were analysed. The aim of the paper is to reconstruct demographic and pathological characteristics of the Roman period population from Pula to gain insight into the living conditions and the quality of life in this community, and to determine whether the site differs from other archaeological sites from the same period in terms of general health and living conditions. The human skeletal sample in question comprises skeletal remains of a minimum 48 individuals; the high subadult mortality rate and high prevalence of dental enamel hypoplasia and the presence of cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, and periostitis indicate overall poor living conditions and widespread metabolic stress during childhood in Pula. Vertebral osteoarthritis and Schmorl′s nodes in the spines of younger individuals suggest continuous hard labour and strenuous physical activity. Based on the available data, it seems that living conditions in the Roman period Pula did not differ significantly from other Roman sites on the eastern Adriatic coast.
Talocalcaneal coalition in the
female adult skeleton from the archaeological site of Perlek-Dioksid, Serbia
(10th - 12th centuries AD)
Authors: Mikašinović Veda , Šarkić Tamara , Đukić Ksenija
Published: February 2024

In this case report, we will present a case of rare pathological condition, a talocalcaneal coalition, which was recorded in a female adult individual from the archaeological site of Perlek-Dioksid, dated in the period between 10th and 12th centuries AD. During the bioanthropological and paleopathological analyses it was noted the presence of a bilateral bony fusion of the calcaneus and talus of a female adult individual, suggesting an occurrence of talocalcaneal coalition. This was further confirmed by an X-ray examination. Talocalcaneal coalition (TC) occurs when adjacent tarsal bones, the calcaneus and talus, are partially or completely fused. A talocalcaneal coalition becomes symptomatic when, at the age of 12 to 15 years, a pre-existing coalition becomes ossified. In this case, TC was accompanied by degenerative changes of the spine and bilateral femoral neck anteversion. This condition did not require any form of health-related care for this person, although it probably caused occasional pain of varying intensity. This pathological condition is rarely described in bioarchaeological literature and it is, therefore, important to report every recorded case in order to improve our corpus of knowledge regarding such conditions.

Features of manifestation of fears in children of senior preschool age
Authors: Огольцова Е.Г. , Бекетова Е.Н.
Published: February 2024

Авторами представлен взгляд на проблему страхов у детей старшего дошкольного возраста. Ставится задача изучить теоретические аспекты особенностей проявления страхов у старших дошкольников и определить наиболее эффективные методы для их профилактики и коррекции. Для достижения этой задачи были рассмотрены теоретические положения различных теорий: фрустрационно-агрессивной теории, теоретические подходы на основе развития, когнитивного подхода, социально-психологического подхода. Особо отмечается, что на страхи дошкольников влияют психологические особенности детей старшего дошкольного возраста: тревожность, впечатлительность, эмоциональность. Определена специфика страхов у детей в данном возрасте, рассмотрены виды страхов, которые выделял А. И. Захаров, а также изучены предпосылки появления страхов с точки зрения трех концепций. Результаты теоретического исследования показали, что страхи детей старшего дошкольного возраста являются нормой, если они возрастные. Отмечается, что у детей могут возникнуть и невротические страхи, которые обуславливаются воздействием различных внешних факторов и сказываются на психике ребенка. Если страхи дошкольников начинают серьезно препятствовать их повседневной жизни или вызывать значительное страдание, то у ребенка снижается самооценка и уровень психологической защиты. На основе результатов исследования были выделены приемы профилактики и преодоления страхов, основными из которых являются: игровая деятельность и арт-педагогика.

The authors present a view on the problem of fears in older preschool children. The task is to study theoretical aspects of the peculiarities of manifestation of fears in older preschool children and to determine the most effective methods for their prevention and correction. To achieve this task, the theoretical provisions of various theories were considered: frustration-aggressive theory, theoretical approaches based on development, cognitive approach, socio-psychological approach. It is especially noted that fears of preschoolers are influenced by psychological features of children of senior preschool age: anxiety, impressionability, emotionality. The specificity of fears in children at this age is determined, the types of fears, which were distinguished by A. I. Zakharov, are considered, and the prerequisites for the emergence of fears from the point of view of three concepts are studied. The results of the theoretical study showed that the fears of children of senior preschool age are the norm, if they are age-related. It is noted that children can also have neurotic fears, which are conditioned by the impact of various external factors and affect the psyche of the child. If the fears of preschoolers begin to seriously interfere with their daily life or cause significant suffering, the child's self-esteem and the level of psychological defense decreases. Based on the results of the study, the techniques of preventing and overcoming fears were identified, the main ones being: play activities and art pedagogy.

This research is a qualitative research using interviews, observation and documentation in collecting data.  The collected data were analyzed through a data reduction process by selecting data related to the research objectives. This research concludes that for teachers can develop universal values, namely cooperation, freedom, happiness, honesty, humility, love, peace, respect, responsibility, simplicity, tolerance, and unity so that if these values have been internalized in the teacher. The teacher will transfer and instill these values in students' habits and make living values a part of their lives. The value-based activities in the Living Values Education Program are designed to motivate students, in this case the Santri, to invite them to think about themselves, others, the world, and values in an interrelated way. This activity aims to strengthen and to provoke the potential, creativity and talents of each student which in the process will develop personal, social and emotional skills, in line with social skills that are peaceful and full of cooperation with others. The indicators of religious moderation that will four things are used, namely: 1) national commitment; 2) tolerance; 3) non-violence and 4) accommodating to local culture. The character of religious moderation in the Achsaniyah Islamic boarding school was reflected in the attitude of the accompanying teacher of the Santri and the attitude of the santi with character. The contribution of this research provides information that the existence of a living value management program at the Achasniyah Islamic boarding school can foster the religious character of the students so that it can become a reference for development at other institutions and also for further research.

integração conceptual como base para o efeito humorístico em trocadilhos visuais
Authors: Da Silva Eduardo Alves
Published: February 2024

Neste artigo,  apresento uma análise de trocadilhos visuais, uma forma de arte por Murilo Battistella, à luz de ferramentas analíticas e conceitos operacionais da linguística cognitiva por meio  de uma perspectiva de pesquisa qualitativa. Utilizo a Teoria da Integração Conceptual (Fauconnier; Turner, 2002), as noções de Espaços Mentais (Fauconnier, 1984) e a Semântica de Frames (Fillmore, 1976; Lakoff 2004) para dar vasão à hipótese de que o efeito de humor se dá por intermédio de operação de integração conceptual. A pesquisa se dá nos moldes de Casell e Symon (1994), segundo os quais o pesquisador trabalha de acordo com o andamento dinâmico do estudo. Os objetivos (observar o efeito de humor em integrações conceptuais) são exploratórios (Gil, 1991). Quanto ao tratamento dos dados e orientação do objeto (integrações conceptuais de trocadilhos visuais), a pesquisa é orientada pelas bases de procedimentos de pesquisa qualitativa em linguística cognitiva (Gonzalez-Marquez et al., 2007). O procedimento metodológico é orientado pela fundamentação em dados num enfoque de Paradigma Indiciário (Ginzburg, 1989). Por meio  dos resultados, acredito que o efeito de humor no processo de integração conceptual surge com o surgimento da entidade conceptual encontrada no espaço-mescla no fim do processo.
Os embates na construção de certezas sobre o retorno presencial às aulas

Published: February 2024

Este trabalho visa analisar uma entrevista do ex-secretário de educação do estado de São Paulo, Rossieli Soares, na qual comparece à certeza de que a escola, em 2020 e 2021, era um espaço seguro para o retorno às aulas presenciais. Analisamos também uma carta aberta ao governo e ao secretário, que constrói uma certeza de que a escola não era um espaço seguro e que as metodologias adotadas pelo governo para o retorno eram precárias e questionáveis. Nesse sentido, evidenciamos os embates em torno de tal questão e quais são as estratégias utilizadas para construí-las, que se baseiam falsamente na ciência e em discursos autoritários que preveem punição àqueles que não cumprirem com as determinações. A questão da performatividade é analisada enquanto efeito de sentido mobilizado por elementos da cena enunciativa, como lugar social de dizer, em uma divisão dos sentidos. As análises pautam-se no embate público, ao perceber o político no acontecimento enunciativo da entrevista, na relação com outros dizeres que buscam construir a importância da retomada das atividades presenciais, contrapondo-se ao que era então praticado e enunciado pela ciência naquele momento
Escapada, de Evelyn Scott: o discurso autobiográfico de uma modernista perdida no Brasil
Authors: Salgado Maria das Graças

Evelyn Scott (1898-1963) foi uma modernista americana da alta classe sulista que, ainda legalmente menor, fugiu para o Brasil com um médico duas vezes mais velho do que ela, casado e pai de quatro filhos. Mas na terra idealizada, Scott enfrentou um parto difícil, doença, pobreza e isolamento social em um país de cultura e língua desconhecidas e em um mundo prestes a deflagrar a Primeira Guerra Mundial. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a emoção no discurso autobiográfico a partir de Escapada (2019), a poderosa autobiografia escrita quando a escritora ainda estava no Brasil. O suporte teórico conta com apoio da antropologia das emoções, dos estudos de gênero e da linguística cognitiva. O método é interpretativo e o corpus é a autobiografia citada acima. Diante da experiência extrema de fome e doença, como as emoções são expressas na obra? De que maneira o gênero influencia tanto a experiência concreta quanto o discurso sobre a experiência? Resultados indicam que, embora Evelyn Scott se sentisse extremamente vulnerável, ela rejeitava com veemência qualquer tentativa de ser vista como vítima e se recusava a renunciar a sua visão de mundo pelo fato de ser mulher e estar doente.
figuração do indígena no Oitocentos: Simá (1857), um romance histórico de Lourenço Amazonas

Published: February 2024

Nosso artigo tem como objetivo analisar a representação dos povos indígenas na obra Simá: romance histórico do Alto Amazonas (1857), escrita pelo autor baiano Lourenço Amazonas (1803 – 1864). Sabemos que a representação dos povos autóctones foi uma característica proeminente nos romances indianistas do século XIX. No entanto, é de suma importância compreender como os indígenas foram abordados na literatura oitocentista, considerando o contexto de colonização que esses povos enfrentaram. Com base nas pesquisas de Marlí Tereza Furtado (2012), Suene Honorato (2021) e Lilia Schwarcz (1998), buscamos destacar a abordagem distinta adotada em Simá e contextualizar a representação dos indígenas na sociedade brasileira da época. Assim, a análise dessa obra revela uma concepção que se afasta ligeiramente da idealização do indígena, frequentemente presente nas obras de José de Alencar, por exemplo. Neste romance, os nativos são retratados como agentes da sua própria civilização, questionando e criticando as estruturas dominadas por concepções coloniais. Por meio de seu olhar realista e denunciador, Lourenço Amazonas cumpriu um papel fundamental ao contribuir para uma abordagem mais complexa e crítica da história e da identidade brasileira na literatura do século XIX.
Traduzindo poemas selecionados de Carol Ann Duffy: releituras modernas de personagens clássicos
Authors: Teles Carvalho Ana Caroline , Cantarotti Aline

Neste trabalho, refletimos sobre o processo tradutório da obra de Carol Ann Duffy, The World 's Wife (1999), para a língua portuguesa em uma abordagem descritiva das teorias tradutórias. A tradução dos poemas objetivou aprender mais sobre os processos criativos da tradução poética, mitologia greco-romana, elementos culturais dentro da poesia e possíveis estratégias de recriação. A tradução do corpus selecionado justifica-se pelo interesse em temas relacionados à recepção dos clássicos na contemporaneidade e à tradução como forma de revelação lírica, além da não existência de traduções tidas como “oficiais” das obras de Duffy. Foram selecionados inicialmente doze poemas traduzidos da coletânea, sendo, em sua maioria, poemas em que os sujeitos-líricos são personagens femininas e mitológicas ou, senão, esposas de arquétipos mitológicos, tais como Tirésias e Ícaro. Para essa pesquisa, sete poemas foram selecionados para compor a análise. A teoria de base para a análise foram os estudos de Toury (1995) e Pym (2008) para conceituar os Estudos da Tradução descritivistas, e Britto (2012) no que diz respeito à tradução literária de poemas.

O cultivo do cafeeiro tem grande importância no cenário nacional e internacional, sendo o Brasil o maior produtor e exportador mundial dessa commodity. Um dos fatores primordiais para o alcance de altas produtividades é o fornecimento adequado de nutrientes, principalmente após uma poda drástica. Objetivou-se estabelecer recomendação de adubação para o cafeeiro fertirrigado, após poda do tipo recepa, por meio de variáveis reprodutivas, além de avaliar as alterações na anatomia e fisiologia das plantas adubadas em diferentes níveis de N, P e K. O experimento foi realizado em Lavras - MG, no Setor de Cafeicultura do Departamento de Agricultura da Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA). A lavoura foi implantada em março de 2010 e conduzida com diferentes níveis de adubação (fertirrigação). As mudas utilizadas foram da cultivar Topázio MG-1190. O experimento contou com 5 níveis de adubação (10%, 70%, 100%, 130% e 160%) da adubação padrão recomendada para cafeicultura de sequeiro. Em 2015, as plantas foram submetidas à poda do tipo “recepa baixa, sem pulmão”, e avaliadas quanto à morfologia, fisiologia e anatomia (2019/2020). O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso em esquema fatorial com parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com três repetições, sendo um fatorial 5x2 (cinco níveis de adubação e duas colheitas). De acordo com os resultados obtidos é permitdo conclir que maiores produtividades após recepa, são alcançadas com pelo menos 100% da adubação padrão de produção, com produtividade de até 93,05 sacas/ha, são necessários pelo menos 54,0 g/planta de N (450 kg/ha de N); 4,0 g/planta de P2O5 (33,3 kg/ha de P2O5); e 20,0 g/Planta de K2O (166,7 kg/ha de K2O) e plantas com a nutrição equilibrada, ou seja, com a dose recomendada apresentam maior relação entre o diâmetro polar e equatorial dos estômatos, fato esse que pode otimizar as trocas gasosas das folhas do cafeeiro.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of different fasting times before transport to the slaughterhouse on blood parameters, carcass characteristics and meat quality of Japanese quails. In total, 300 Japanese quails were used, with an average age of 14 months (discard age) and an initial body weight of 185.3 ± 7.3 g. The quails were distributed in a completely randomised design with six treatments and five replications of 10 birds each. The treatments consisted of different fasting periods on the farm: zero (control), 1 hour and 30 minutes, 3 hours, 4 hours and 30 minutes, 5 hours and 30 minutes and 7 hours. The quails showed higher blood glucose concentrations with increasing fasting time, but there was no increase in total proteins, albumin, lactate, creatine kinase, uric acid, globulin and the albumin/globulin ratio. The weight and yield of the hot carcass and the weight of the cold carcass decreased with increasing fasting time. Quails that fasted for 7 hours had lower hot carcass and cold carcass weights compared to quails that did not fast. There was no influence of fasting time on meat quality. A fasting period of 5 hours and 30 minutes before transportation is recommended to ensure proper emptying of the digestive tract and the maintenance of the carcass weight of Japanese quails.

Toxoplasma gondii é um parasita intracelular obrigatório que possui um ciclo de vida heteroxênico, tendo como hospedeiro definitivo os felinos, fato que culmina na manutenção do ciclo de vida parasitário. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de Toxoplasma gondii em fezes de gatos por meio da Copro-PCR, bem como avaliar a frequência de positividade entre gatos errantes e domiciliados, machos e fêmeas e castrados e não castrados. Para tal, foram coletadas 120 amostras fecais de gatos que, posteriormente, foram submetidas à sedimentação espontânea. Após 24 horas extraiu-se o DNA das amostras com um kit comercial, com adaptações. Após a extração, realizou-se a PCR com os primers que amplificam o gene B1, seguida da eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida a 6%. Foi possível obter uma prevalência para T. gondii de 14,1% (17/120) na Copro-PCR ao passo que o Exame Parasitológico de Fezes não detectou nenhuma amostra positiva.  Além disso, os gatos errantes obtiveram maior frequência de positividade quando comparado aos domiciliados. Não houve diferença significativa em relação ao sexo e aos animais castrados ou não castrados. Foi possível concluir que a copro-PCR do Gene B1 utilizada na detecção de T. gondii possui uma alta sensibilidade, detectando até mesmo amostras negativas no Exame Parasitológico de Fezes e que os gatos errantes possuem maior probabilidade de se infectarem com T. gondii do que os domiciliados.

We studied the relationship of the yield of winter wheat and spring barley with slope exposure components in the west of the Oka River basin. The size of the study area was 250 km by 360 km. The yield characteristics included the maximal yield obtained when applying the optimal dose of fertilizers, the yield without applying fertilizers (control) and the maximal addition to yield, that is, their difference. The addition is shown to be most sensitive to climatic factors. For wheat, the addition increased on the warmer south-western slopes, and for barley—on the wetter north-eastern slopes. The high sensitivity of the addition for barley to moisture is shown using it comparison with climatic water deficit. To compare slopes by the energy of incident solar radiation, we used the slope insolation in energy units. Although the difference in energy between the south-west and north-east slopes was only 2.2%, wheat addition on these slopes varied by more than a factor of two. The reasons for this are discussed. The results obtained show that when choosing locations for crop areas, it is advisable to take into account the exposure of the slopes.
