Published: August 2021

Introdução: No fitotelmo de bromélias-tanque é possível encontrar uma biota muito diversificada, e com foco nesse ecossistema, o presente estudo avaliou os macroinvertebrados aquáticos associados à Vriesea friburgensis Mez, 1894 e Aechmea bromeliifolia (Rudge) Baker, 1883. Objetivos: Comparou-se a estrutura da comunidade aquática objetivando avaliar se os parâmetros morfométricos (número de folhas, diâmetro, volume e altura) destas duas espécies influenciam na riqueza, composição e abundância de espécies. Considerando que habitats maiores e mais complexos tendem a abrigar uma maior diversidade e abundância de espécies, hipotetizou-se que bromélias de maior estrutura apresentariam uma comunidade mais diversa. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo foi conduzido nas unidades de conservação (UC): Parque Estadual de Vila Velha e Parque Nacional dos Campos Gerais. Foram amostrados os macroinvertebrados aquáticos de 14 bromélias, 7 exemplares em cada UC. Em campo, aferiu-se a altura, diâmetro e o número de folhas; o volume do fitotelmo foi transferido para uma bandeja e armazenado em frascos. Em laboratório o volume total foi peneirado (0,3 mm) e os invertebrados fixados em álcool 70%, triados e identificados sob estereomicroscópio com o auxílio de chaves de identificação. Os parâmetros morfométricos das bromélias, riqueza e abundância de espécies foram comparadas pelo Teste t (dados paramétricos), a composição de espécies avaliada através do Escalonamento Multidimensional Não-Métrico (Bray-Curtis e Jaccard), seguido por uma PERMANOVA. Resultados: A riqueza foi comparada através de uma análise de rarefação baseada no número de indivíduos para comparar a diversidade de espécies esperada. As análises foram realizadas no software R utilizando os pacotes vegan, iNEXT e ggstastplot. Constatou-se a ocorrência de uma comunidade aquática distinta em cada espécie de Bromeliaceae e A. bromeliifolia apresentou maior presença de espécies raras e muito raras. V. friburgensis apresentou maior diâmetro, número de folhas e volume, enquanto A. bromeliifolia maior altura. Conclusão: O número de folhas e volume tiveram efeito positivo sobre a riqueza, já a abundância foi influenciada apenas pelo volume. Em V. friburgensis foi observada uma tendência em apresentar maior número de espécies e abundância de organismos, como possível consequência de maior volume, diâmetro e número de folhas quando comparada a A. Bromeliifolia, resultando na confirmação da hipótese do trabalho.

The hierarchy of waste refers to the “3 Rs” i.e. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, which implements the strategies of waste management according to their specifications in terms of waste minimisation. The power of solar was exposed to people when Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was introduced in the country in the year 2010.From then on people started to install and set up the solar as they came to know that the end life of it is around to be 2035. But none of them thought about future, i.e. what would happen to the solar panels when they are not able to generate power. Now the main issue is how will India be able to discard nearly 90 GW worth solar panel in the next 20 years? Where an average solar panel sized 250 watts, 90GW will amount to almost 7.7 million tonnes of E- waste at the end of a lifetime of a solar plant [1]. This paper mainly focuses on how these E-wastes produced can be reused and recycled.

The Paleolithic site of Mutzig, discovered by chance in 1992 (Sainty 1992), has been the focus of several excavations since 2009. Located in Alsace (Bas-Rhin, France), it is presently one of only a handful of sites reliably attributed to the Middle Paleolithic in this area, thus providing rare evidence for a zone still relatively unknown for Early Prehistoric remains. The excellent preservation of the remains and the long stratigraphic sequence, with 6 to 8 in situ archaeological levels, make Mutzig a potential reference site for environmental and behavioral analyses for the Middle Paleolithic of the region. At least four archaeological levels contain burnt elements, and one level features a hearth structure.
A Leaf Point Documents Hunting with Spears in the Middle Paleolithic at Hohle Fels, Germany
Authors: Rots Veerle , Coppe Justun , Conard Nicholas J.
Published: August 2021

During the 2020 season at Hohle Fels Cave in the Ach Valley of southwestern Germany the excavation team from the University of Tübingen recovered a bifacial leaf point in archaeological horizon (AH) X. This horizon is the fifth deepest of the Middle Paleolithic horizons at the site and is located roughly 120 cm beneath the base of the rich Aurignacian layers of the cave. The new leaf point, or Blattspitze in German, is the first artifact of its kind found in situ in the Swabian caves since Gustav Riek’s excavation at Haldenstein Cave near the source of the Lone River recovered two leaf points in excellent preservation in 1936. The new find allowed our team to conduct the first techno-functional study of a freshly recovered leaf point from the European Middle Paleolithic. This study demonstrates that the leaf point was hafted at the less pointy end of the artifact. The leaf point bears clear damage to the pointed end of the artifact that occurred during a hunting episode. A Neanderthal knapper further damaged the tool during an attempt to resharpen and rejuvenate the tool. This damage was likely the reason the knapper discarded the leaf point at Hohle Fels. This result and a re-examination of the two leaf points from Haldenstein Cave indicate that late Neanderthals used Blattspitzen for hunting large game. The current results do not explicitly prove that spears with hafted leaf points were always thrown or used as thrusting spears, and one can easily imagine scenarios in which a weapon of this kind could be used in both ways. Ideally, the ongoing excavation at Hohle Fels will recover more leaf points, which will allow us to document the technological variability of this kind of tool with regard to its manufacture, function and life history. We also view the current research at Hohle Fels as an excellent opportunity to gain a better and more strongly contextualized understanding of the technological system linking lithic, botanical and osseous technologies during this phase of the Middle Paleolithic. This paper also considers the place that hafted leaf points have within the broader evolutionary development of hunting and projectile technology.
Pensar en plural y tomar en serio el lugar desde donde se habla | Entrevista con Eduardo Restrepo
Authors: Chavarro Bermeo Dana Milena , Guerreiro Ferreira Michele
Published: August 2021

Eduardo Restrepo en los últimos años ha pasado de ser un académico reconocido en el escenario local de la antropología colombiana, para ser una figura de gran incidencia en el escenario de la antropología Latinoamericana. Desde sus contribuciones en temas de interés como teoría social contemporánea, antropologías del mundo, estudios culturales y políticas de la representación, dan cuenta de la intención de Restrepo por producir y generar debates en torno al quehacer antropológico contemporáneo. Sus actuaciones en la Asociación Latinoamericana de Antropología (ALA) y la Red de Antropologías del Mundo (RAM-WAN) dan cuenta de su postura decidida por “armar el tropel” y confrontar críticamente la relación entre voluntad política y producción de conocimiento. La entrevista realizada por integrantes del Instituto de Estudios da América Latina (IAL- UFPE) indaga con el Profesor Eduardo Restrepo algunos de los elementos de la propuesta epistemológica de la que hace parte este pensador latinoamericano.
Os Lamentos do Jaguar: reflexões sobre canibalismo e colonialismo em Nossamerica
Authors: Guimarães Filippe Da Silva
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo vincularei o pensamento ocidental com as formas das cosmologias ameríndias relacionarem mundos e seres. Com isso quero observar como se dá o protagonismo político de sujeitas e sujeitos em Nossamérica, diante da situação colonial e em suas economias e políticas de signos e símbolos enquanto formas ambivalentes de operação do poder e das ideologias coletivas. Ou seja, como sujeitas e sujeitos em Nossamérica solidificam o uso estratégico da noção de consciência – tal qual da noção de grupo, de identidade local e nacional – no âmbito macrológico da colonização ocidental como sujeitos portadores de construções oriundas das narativas ameríndios e de identidades em perpétuo desequilíbrio entre mundos e seres? Desta forma, problematizar como situamos o “eu” da antropologia busca questionar os essencialismos que nos prendem à armadilhas macrológicas e epistêmicas do eurocentrismo e do solipsismo que impregnaria o sujeito pós-colonial e pós-moderno.

As tensões eurocêntricas no pensamento de Mariátegui e os dilemas da constituição do marxismo na América Latina
Authors: Forte Vinicius Limaverde
Published: August 2021

Este artigo apresenta as tensões eurocêntricas da interpretação marxista de Mariátegui acerca da formação da sociedade peruana. Por tensões eurocêntricas entende-se o processo de simultânea crítica e reiteração do paradigma eurocêntrico. Por um lado, Mariátegui contribuiria para a crítica ao eurocentrismo a partir de duas vias. Ao apontar como a relação entre capitalismo e colonialismo suscitou a articulação entre diferentes formas de propriedade privada e organização do trabalho em fundação da acumulação capitalista, recusando uma pretensa validade universal das etapas de desenvolvimento histórico europeu para compreensão da realidade latino-americana. Também contribuiu a partir da proposição da centralidade do papel das populações indígenas no processo de construção de um socialismo indo-americano. Por outro lado, a reiteração do eurocentrismo esteve relacionada com a hierarquia cultural estabelecida entre europeus e não europeus em sua compreensão das relações raciais na América Latina, destacadamente no que concerne das pessoas de origem africana e asiática.

Exploramos alguns aspectos relativos à institucionalização e à consolidação de iniciativas em concertação e associação no campo de produção de conhecimento e informação sobre a América Latina, com destaque da área das Ciências Sociais latino-americanas. Norteadas pela noção de “campo” bourdieusiana, apresentamos um mapeamento preliminar sobre o caso brasileiro, compreendendo um conjunto de 146 iniciativas institucionais sediadas no país e em operação, criadas nas últimas quatro décadas e meia, que têm “América Latina” como unidade de análise e foco de atuação.
Representando a América Latina por meio da arte pré-colombiana: a semântica estrutural e histórica da alterização
Authors: Feres Júnior João
Published: August 2021

A América Latina é freqüentemente representada por imagens de artefatos e obras de arte pré-colombianos em capas de livros e em outros materiais produzidos pelos Latin American studies. Este artigo tenta mostrar que há uma forte ligação entre esse tipo de representação e a semântica do conceito de América Latina em inglês, tanto na linguagem comum quanto no discurso das ciências sociais. Argumento que a representação pré-colombiana reproduz os três principais componentes semânticos do conceito de América Latina, racial, cultural e temporal, de maneira poderosa e sintética. Por fim, os resultados da presente análise são avaliados à luz de algumas contribuições à teoria pós-colonial, estudos de cultura visual e teoria de imagens.

The development of reading skills in the Oshiwambo languages of the Oshana region of Namibia : a case study of Oshikwanyama and Oshindonga in Junior Primary phase
Authors:   , Haifidi Eino Nghiikoshi
Published: August 2021

The development and promotion of indigenous languages have been given little attention in Africa (Batibo, 2005). Namibia being part of Africa is no exception and hence there is a lack of literature regarding the indigenous languages (Smit, 2012). The study was motivated by Tötemeyer’s (2009) argument that there is a lack of reading culture which affects the development of reading skills, particularly in indigenous languages in Namibia. Since little research has been conducted in this area (Smit, 2012), there is a lack of information on indigenous language learning and development in Namibia. The study is the first of its kind done in Namibia looking at the development of reading skills in Oshikwanyama and Oshindonga concurrently as verified by the intensive review of literature done by me. This research in form of a case study is a response to this gap in literature. The study focused on development of reading skills in two dialects of the Namibian Oshiwambo languages; namely Oshikwanyama and Oshindonga in the Junior Primary (JP) phase (grades 2 and 3). Data collected was essentially qualitative, relating to how teachers develop reading skills in indigenous languages with focus on factors facilitating or hindering the development of the reading skills. The data was collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews and focus groups discussions. The study used the interpretivist paradigm, although there are few elements of positivism. In the findings, the study outlined factors facilitating the development of reading skills (e.g. drilling, repetition, peer reading/teaching, songs, poems, rhymes and short stories, using the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA), using scaffolding, modelling and cooperative learning strategies, using the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), using well illustrated story books with big font size, a print rich classroom environment, etc.), as well as factors hindering the development of reading skills (e.g. inappropriate use of punctuation marks, lack of readers with familiar texts and not using relevant children’s prior knowledge, poor knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds (phonics), lack of a methodology for teaching reading, teachers’ unpreparedness, difficulties with teaching digraphs, trigraphs, quadgraphs, diphthongs and vowel confusion, lack of teaching aids and reflective teaching, lack of in-service training/workshop on reading development in Oshiwambo languages, etc.) in the two Oshiwambo languages (Oshikwanyama and Oshindonga). The study concluded with a list of recommendations for the improved development of reading skills in these languages.
Application of DMAIC to improve energy consumption in a commercial building
Authors:   , Kanyinda Kabuya
Published: August 2021

Improving energy use in a commercial building has become the subject of great importance in organizations worldwide. Improving energy usage refers to the efforts to reduce energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption in commercial buildings can be accomplished through continuous supervision using appropriate managerial techniques. Commercial companies are required to use energy more efficiently and participate in energy improvement. This study seeks to improve electrical energy consumption in commercial buildings by Analysing the electrical data consumption and identifying the factors that contribute to high consumption using Six Sigma DMAIC (Define-Measure- Analyse-Improve-Control) problem solving methodology. A case study was used to validate the DMAIC framework. Two years of electrical consumption data of a case study done from January 2018 to December 2019 was collected and analysed. The study revealed an average increment in energy consumption of 3.9 %. The outcomes using statistical Pareto chart showed that the boiler is the highest significant energy user in the building with 38.3% due; followed by the kitchen with 24.2 %, followed by DB A and lifts with 20,1 % and the rest with 17.37 %. After the campaign of DMAIC, there was a reduction of 6 % in boiler consumption which was 2.3 % reduction of total consumption of the month for the building. Therefore, the study successfully demonstrates how Six Sigma DMAIC methodology can be applied to improve electrical consumption in a commercial building and reduce its related costs.

Published: August 2021

The paper uses the materials of local agroecological monitoring of arable soils of the Belgorod region on the content of manganese, zinc, and cobalt in haplic chernozem of the steppe part of the Belgorod region. The content of manganese, zinc and cobalt in the arable horizon was 1.42, 1.22 and 1.23 times higher than in the parent rock, respectively. A strong correlation was established between the total contents of zinc and cobalt in the soil profile (r=0.77), and the bonds of manganese with zinc and cobalt had the strength of an average value (r=0.59 and r=0.55). The content of mobile forms of the studied trace elements in haplic chernozem is at a low level. The main reason for the shortage of mobile forms of manganese, zinc and cobalt is their low background content in virgin soil.

Published: August 2021

The housefly, Musca domestica, L. (Diptera: Muscidae) is a genuine danger to human and creature wellbeing. Houseflies are vectors of in excess of 100 human and creature intestinal maladies. They are fit for communicating parasites that cause illnesses, for example, typhoid fever, cholera, bacillary looseness of the bowels, juvenile the runs, tuberculosis, plague, sickness, yaws, samonellosis, trachoma, and Bacillus anthracis. Creature wellbeing concerns incorporate the transmission of pinkeye. If we want to quell this insect pest the humans using insecticides and repellents but due to chronic use of these chemical compounds will create insecticide resistance in these domestic insect pests. There are numerous proteins/enzymes responsible for degradation of the chemicals used to get rid of these pests, but due to the action of some of the proteins/enzymes namely Ache gene(considering in the current study) will be rigorously involved in degradation of chemical compounds results in expressing the resistance in Houseflies. With the application of network biology the current study dealt efficiently in understanding how the interacting/supporting mechanism helps in expressing the resistance mechanism. With the help of STRING DATABASE in data collection and CYTOSCAPE-3.0 in visualization helps to its best in understanding the mechanism.

Published: August 2021

Mango fruits being climacteric have a short shelf life; and post-harvest dipping is considered as one of the most popular techniques to prolong its shelf life dipping based on starch, olive oil, beeswax and sodium benzoate have been evaluated with reference to the shelf life and quality of mango Naomi cultivar fruit harvested at full stage of maturity. The dipped and undipped (control) fruits were stored on the lab’s tables in the room conditions (25±5 <C and 65-70% R.H.), samples of each treatment were randomly taken every 4 days to evaluate after harvest dipping treatments effect during shelf life of fruits. Results indicated that every dipping treatment has a significant impact on the quality and shelf life of the fruit. The beeswax and olive oil treated mango fruits had the longest shelf life with good quality, while the shelf life of untreated (control) fruit was the shortest. The total soluble solids and sugar contents were also high in starch-treated fruit. The overall data conclude that beeswax was the best post-harvest dipping material, which might be due to the fact that beeswax is an antioxidant and antimicrobial as well as hydrophobic in nature.

In 2016, staggering statistics show “the opioid epidemic accounted for close to 80% of the 64,000 drug-related deaths in the United States and is now the country’s leading cause of accidental deaths” (Goodman-Meza). This problem is not exclusive to the United States: “Because of their capacity to cause respiratory depression, opioids are responsible for a high proportion of fatal drug overdoses around the world” (WHO, 2018). The issue of opioid abuse is especially significant because opioids are so widely used. In fact, “there were an estimated 53.4 million past-year [...] users of opioids...globally in 2017” (UN, 2019). This is not only a problem in the United States, as countries like Mexico and South Africa have shown worrying signs of a potential opioid crisis.
The Connection of Cultural Capital with Success in Master’s Degree Programmes in Finnish Higher Education
Authors: Merenluoto Satu
Published: August 2021

This article deals with the effects of cultural capital on attainment in higher education using Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital as a frame of reference. Attainment and success in higher education is perceived as a combination of multiple variables being the grade point average of the student’s higher education studies, the age at graduation, the time of graduation and the amount of credits studied. Participants of this survey study were 499 university graduates from six different disciplines from the University of Turku, Finland. Results indicate that cultural capital, as well as the variables comprising it, has an effect on educational attainment even though this effect is not a straightforward one
Employees’ Satisfaction with the Balance Between Work and Leisure in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark - Time Use Perspective
Authors: Ylikännö Minna
Published: August 2021

This study aims at investigating the level of satisfaction with the allocation of time between work and leisure, and possible explaining factors, among the employed in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Using the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 3 data from 2006, it is possible to make competent quantitative comparisons between the Nordic countries (excluding Island which did not participate in the ESS data collection). Multilevel modelling (GLM) was used for data analyses. Only those respondents to the ESS survey who were currently employed were included in the analysis. The results show that the Danish employees are the most satisfied and the Swedish employees the least satisfied with the division of time between work and other aspects of life. In all the four countries, work-related rather than family-related or other leisure-oriented factors predicted the level of satisfaction. Socio-economic and family-related factors predicted satisfaction at the country level, but did not account for common explanatory factors. However, it may be that those who are potentially the most dissatisfied due to difficulties in combining work and family are not at work at all, and thus not involved in the study. The observed differences between the countries are discussed in the present article. To conclude from the results of this study, poor work content reduces temporal commitment to work, and accordingly, time use as a central element of individual well-being should not be ignored.

Dietary fat has long been a target of several Finnish policy sectors with conflicting interests. Changes in fat use from animal to vegetable fats have often been characterized as “a public policy success story”, in which policy interventions have led to healthier diets. The aim of this paper is to elaborate the picture of the developments in the consumption of different fat products, and to explore whether and what kind of other developments there may have been besides the general change from animal to vegetable fats. Based on population statistics between 1978 and 2014, the study shows that instead of a uniform transformation from animal to vegetable fats, there have been multiple developments simultaneously, and not all of them unambiguously agree with the "success story" discourse. The changes were related to novel fat products, health policy interventions, cultural trends, public debates on dietary fats, and fad diets.

This study examines the relationship between average means of generalized trust on two groups of social connections, namely people in general and people only met online, and respondents’ past experiences with online and offline victimization. Our data was collected from four countries, Finland, the U.S., Germany and UK from participants aged 15–30 years. Each country was analyzed separately using OLS regression models. Our findings indicated that offline victimization had a negative association with perceived trust in people in general in all four countries. Online victimization was negatively associated with trust in people in general only in Finland and Germany. Trust towards people only met online was not as clearly associated with online and offline victimization, but in the U.S. and UK online victims reported higher trust. Gender, age, social activity, residence area and age also indicated country level differences in terms of their association with trust.
Intergenerational and intragenerational influences on time use on reading
Authors: Toivonen Timo
Published: August 2021

The impact of parents on the reading of children has been studied quite intensively. However, studies from the time use perspective have been rare: how strong is parental influence and how strong is it in comparison with sibling influence? This research focused on this particular question. The general hypothesis was that the power of parental example is strong but also dependent on different characteristics of parent and child. Data came from two recent Finnish time use surveys from the years 1999–2000 and 2009–2010. Households of different-sex parents and two children were included. It was found that time used by the other child on reading was the most important factor in the child’s reading time. However, parents also had a significant influence but often indirectly, for instance, the younger was the child, the stronger was parental influence.
Men’s work-related self-care in the Finnish media
Authors: Hyvönen Henri
Published: August 2021

Individual responsibility for health at work has been a central point of interest in recent studies of working life. This article contributes to that discussion by considering the role of the media in gendering individual responsibility and the meanings of work-related health in Finnish society. It takes a critical look at media representations of men’s work-related self-care. The data comprises 30 texts collected from the Finnish media in spring 2016. The analysis reveals three discourses – Exemplariness, Expertise and Suspiciousness – and shows how they construct ideal ways of being a man in working life. They depict work as a necessary part of life for men. Self-care practices that aim to either maintain endurance or increase performance at work are presented in a favorable light. However, personal wellbeing is portrayed as secondary to productivity. The article concludes with a discussion on the broader implications of the persistent discursive interrelation of men and work for men’s social role.

Published: August 2021

Abstract

Objective

The present study aims at deciphering the nature of the water structure in two drugs at ultra high dilution (HD) by Laser Raman Spectroscopy.

Method

Two drugs like Sulphur and Natrum mur and their three high dilutions 30cH, 200cH and 1000cH were selected for the study. The 30cH means dilution 1060 with mechanical agitation in 30 steps.Raman spectra of the drugs and their medium (90%ethanol)were obtained in the wave number region of 2600-3800 cm-1. The intensity ratio at vibration frequencies between 3220 and 3420 (R1) and that between 3620 and 3420 (R2) were calculated for each HD as well as the control.

Results

Raman spectra show differences in intensities in different HDâ€™s and their control in the stretching vibrations of CH and OH groups. The three HDâ€™s of each drug show inverse relationship with respect to the R1 values. However, for R2 the relationship of HDâ€™s for each drug is positive.

Conclusion

R1 provides information about the relative number of OH groups with strong and weak hydrogen bonds. R2 suggests the relative number of OH groups with broken and weak hydrogen bonds. Judged from R1 values the lower is the rank of HD, the stronger is the H-bond of the OH groups. In the light of R2 values the higher is the HD rank the more abundant is the free OH groups. So, hydrogen bond strength and free OH groups together make an effective HD rank relating to Sulphur and Natrum mur.

Introduction: Conventional homeopathy recommends giving 10 strokes (succussions) to prescription bottle, before taking it. To scientifically support such activity, it must be based on studies on the physicochemical aspects of the memory of water and agitated water chains, supplemented with spectrometry.

Objective: To analyze spectrometric profiles of homeopathic high dilutions, comparing additionally agitated and non-agitated dilutions, and to define differences according to each dilutionÂ´s kingdom.

Methodology: Homeopathic dilutions were prepared using a ratio of 1:100 obtaining dilutions from 1cH to 15cH. Measurements of absorbance of 15cH dilutions were performed at 340 nm and 200 nm, with and without additional agitation.

Results: Statistically significant differences were found between agitated and non-agitated dilutions (p

Published: August 2021

Objective: To confirm that free water molecules and hydrogen bond strength of OH groups underlie difference between two homeopathic drugs at ultrahigh dilution (UHD).

Method: FTIR and Laser Raman spectra of UHDs of X-ray and Magnetis Poli Ambo were obtained in the wave number regions of 2400-4000 cm-1 and 2400-4200 cm-1, respectively. Mother tincture (MT) were prepared by exposing ethanol water to X-radiation for X-ray and magnetic field for Magnetis. Spectra of the reference water and the three UHDs of Ethanol were also taken. All the samples were in water-ethanol solution in which the ethanol content was 25%. For FTIR the difference spectrum (absorbance of a UHD minus absorbance of reference water) was obtained after normalization of the spectrum at 3410 cm-1. For Raman spectra the intensity ratio at vibration frequencies between 3200 and 3420 cm-1 (R1), and that between 3620 and 3420 cm-1 (R2), were calculated for each UHD. The intensity at 3600 cm-1 in the difference spectra (FTIR) represents the number of free water molecules in UHDs. R2 values in Raman scattering suggest the same thing.

Results: The data in both cases follow almost a similar pattern of difference among the UHDs studied here. For example, X-ray: FTIR 14

The effect of six different homeopathic remedies on cress (Lepidium sativum L.) has been examined by CuCl2-biocrystallization. The method was based on the protocols of [1] and a follow up study (not yet published). Cress seeds germinated and grew for four days in vitro in a 30x potentization of Stannum metallicum, Arsenic Album, Mercurius metallicum, Sulphur, Silicea or Lactose (control) in a blinded and fully randomized assignment. Each remedy was prepared sterile and divided into 20 bottles used in 10 experiments. CuCl2-biocrystallization of seedlings extracted in the homeopathic preparations was performed on circular glass plates. Resulting biocrystallograms were analysed by digital textural image analysis. Texture analysis variables analysed yielded significant results between the control and some of the homeopathic treatments, as well as between a number of the different treatments. As the texture of the biocrystallograms of homeopathically treated cress exhibited effects depending on the remedies, the CuCl2-biocrystallization method will be further applied to a larger study investigating specific effects of different homeopathic preparations.
