ASSESSMENT OF PHOSPHORUS AVAILABILITY FROM UNREACTIVE TOGO PHOSPHATE ROCK BY LEGUME AND CEREAL CROPS IN TWO GHANAIAN SOILS
Authors: Boateng Alex , Bennoah Prof. Emmanuel Owusu- 
Published: October 2020

Purpose: In recent years, phosphate rock (PR) for direct application has been tested in tropical acid soils as a potential alternative to conventional water-soluble P fertilizers like Single Superphosphate (SSP) and Triple Superphosphate (TSP). However, direct application of PR with low reactivity does not always give satisfactory results. Legume and cereal crops represent a strategy that can be used to solubilize P from some of these unreactive PRs. The objective of this study was to assess the availability of P from unreactive Togo Phosphate Rock (TPR) relative to TSP by six (6) crop species in two Ghanaian soils.
Methodology: The study was conducted in the greenhouse of the Crop Science Department, University of Ghana. Three P rates, 0mg, 50mg and 100mg P of TPR and TSP were applied to a kilogram of soil per pot in the two soil series. Randomized Complete Block Design was used to do the analyses.
Results/Findings: Application of TSP resulted in higher dry matter and P uptake irrespective of the soil type. Among the legumes, cowpea gave the highest dry matter yield. Fairly, a similar trend was obtained with the application of TPR. Among the cereals, the average P uptake by sorghum from TPR was the highest, followed by maize and millet in the Nzema soil. In the Adenta series, P uptake by maize was the highest, followed by sorghum and millet. Phosphorus (P) uptake by the cereals from TPR was generally better in the Adenta than the Nzema soil.
Unique contribution to theories, practice and policy: Results show increasing the rate of TPR to 100mg P/pot resulted in an increase in dry matter yield and P uptake in both soils, but was inferior to 100mg P/pot TSP application. Consequently, the rate of application of TPR should always be high if farmers want the best from their investments. Again, the low relative agronomic effectiveness of TPR for all the crops, proved the low reactivity of the material and its subsequent low performance compared with the water-soluble P. The low reactivity and the high molar mass of PO43-/CO32- of the TPR will always make it difficult for P to be made available from the TPR despite the acidity of the soil, the high density of the crops and the ability of the tested crops to exude organic acids, which facilitate phosphorus availability from TPR, therefore making TPR unsuitable for direct application.

Published: October 2020

Purpose: Improved pigeon pea varieties were promoted in semi-arid areas of Kenya to improve smallholder pigeon pea production systems resilience to climate change. However, the impact of adoption is unknown. This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of adoption on farming households’ net farm returns in semi-arid South Eastern Kenya in the context of adaptation to climate change. The objectives were to (i)describe farmer’s perceptions on production of improved varieties of pigeon peas as an adaptation strategy to climate change, (ii) evaluate the impact of the adoption on household’s net returns. Propensity score matching approach was used to assess the impact of the adoption.
Methodology: The study used cross sectional data gathered through household survey to evaluate the impact of adoption on farming households’ net farm returns in semi-arid South Eastern Kenya in the context of adaptation to climate change.. The study was conducted in semi-arid zones of Machakos County in South Eastern Kenya (SEK) namely Masinga, Mavoko and Mwala Wards. The areas were purposively selected for semi-arid semi-arid climatic conditions and dominant pigeon pea production.The study adopts the counterfactual approach and propensity score matching method to evaluate the impact of adopting improved pigeon peas on household net farm income. Data was analyzed using STATA 13.0 statistical package.
Findings: The results showed that 33 percent of the sampled households had adopted production of improved pigeon peas and they perceived adoption of the technology as an adaptation strategy to climate change viewed through tolerance to drought, pest and diseases, increased crop yield and shortened crop growth period. Improved pigeon peas significantly increased farmers’ net income, the adopter got a net farm income of KES 30,710 per acre per year that was KES 18, 631 more than non-adopting households.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that County Governments facilitate farmers to produce pigeon pea seeds through improved access to seed and linkage to reliable market for their farm produce to increase their farm income.
Stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles from SCIAMACHY solar occultation
Authors: Noël Stefan , Bramstedt Klaus , Rozanov Alexei , Malinina Elizaveta , Bovensmann Heinrich , Burrows John P. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract. The Scanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) instrument on Envisat provided, between August 2002 and April 2012, measurements of solar and Earthshine spectra from the UV to the shortwave infrared spectral region in multiple viewing geometries. We present a new approach to derive stratospheric aerosol extinction
profiles from SCIAMACHY solar occultation measurements based on an onion-peeling method similar to the onion-peeling differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) retrieval, which has already been successfully used for the derivation of greenhouse gas profiles. Since the retrieval of aerosol extinction requires as input measured transmissions in absolute units, an improved radiometric calibration of the SCIAMACHY solar occultation measurements has been developed, which considers various instrumental and atmospheric effects specific to solar occultation. The aerosol extinction retrieval can in principle be applied to all
wavelengths measured by SCIAMACHY. As a first application, we show results for 452, 525 and 750 nm. The SCIAMACHY solar occultation time series has been processed, covering a latitudinal range of about 50–70∘ N.
Reasonable aerosol extinctions are derived between about 15 and 30 km with typically larger uncertainties at higher altitudes due to decreasing aerosol extinction. Comparisons with collocated Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE-II) and SCIAMACHY limb aerosol data products revealed good agreement with essentially no mean bias. However, dependent on altitude, differences of up to ±20 %–30% to SAGE-II at 452 and 525 nm are observed. Similar results are obtained from comparisons with SAGE-III. SCIAMACHY solar occultation data at 750 nm have been compared with corresponding SAGE-III, Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) and SCIAMACHY limb results. The agreement with SCIAMACHY limb data at 750 nm is within 5 %–20 % between 17 and 27 km. SAGE-III and OSIRIS show at this wavelength and altitude range on
average about 40 % and 25 % smaller values, with some additional
10 %–20 % modulation with altitude. The altitude variations in the differences are mainly caused by systematic vertical oscillations in the SCIAMACHY occultation data of up to 30 % below about 25 km. These oscillations decrease to amplitudes below 10 % with increasing number of collocations and are no longer visible in monthly anomalies. Major volcanic eruptions as well as occurrences of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) can be identified in the time series of aerosol extinction data and related anomalies. The influence of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is visible above
25 km.
Sgt. Pepperand theWhite Album: The Establishment and Dissolution of the Album Form
Authors: Littlejohn John 
Published: October 2020

AbstractCritics and fans already regarded Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as the apotheosis of the album form by the time the Beatles recorded their follow-up LP, the White Album. Always artistically restless, the band were no longer interested in creating the same type of cohesive, thematically unified album as Sgt. Pepper; they had already accomplished that feat and moved on. With the White Album, the Beatles positively shattered any sense of textual unity, creating a type of anti-Pepper and, perhaps unavoidably, anti-album. Doing so allowed the Beatles to undermine album construction and allowed the audience insight into the band's creative process.
“We are a fly on the wall listening”: Constructions of Musical Intimacy in The Beatles'Anthology
Authors: Stiegler Zack , Campbell Todd 
Published: October 2020

AbstractBetween 1995 and 1996, The Beatles released the three volume, six-disc Anthology, a sprawling audio set issued to coincide with a televised documentary of the same name. One of the first major releases of its kind, the Anthology albums curated and compiled previously unreleased demos, studio recordings, and live performances, under the auspices of giving listeners insight into the band's creative process. Beyond the appeal of new Beatles product however, the Anthology albums are unique in exploiting particular manifestations of musical intimacy that ultimately serve to further cultivate the group's well-established pop cultural mythos.
Psicoterapia con víctimas de abuso sexual inspirada en la terapia cognitivo-conductual centrada en el trauma
Authors: Guerra Cristóbal , Barrera Paulina 
Published: October 2020

En Chile existe muy poca investigación referida a la efectividad de las intervenciones terapéuticas con adolescentes víctimas de abuso sexual. En el resto del mundo hay evidencia de la efectividad de la terapia cognitivo conductual centrada en el trauma (TF-CBT) que hacen suponer de su utilidad en el contexto chileno. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la evaluación piloto de un protocolo inspirado en la TF- CBT. En total participaron 21 adolescentes de sexo femenino (edades entre 12 y 17 años) que estaban ingresadas a un centro de atención a víctimas en la ciudad de Viña del Mar, Chile. Catorce adolescentes completaron el programa de tratamiento basado en la TFCBT, en tanto siete adolescentes conformaron el grupo de comparación. Todas las participantes respondieron instrumentos de autorreporte para evaluar su sintomatología de estrés postraumático, depresión y ansiedad. Los resultados muestran que el grupo de tratamiento disminuyó significativamente su sintomatología, en tanto el grupo de comparación no mostró variaciones. Se discute sobre la utilidad de este tipo de tratamientos en el contexto chileno y sobre la necesidad urgente de obtener evidencia empírica sobre la efectividad de los tratamientos que actualmente
se implementan en el país.
Recepção e Circulação da Psicologia Humanista de Carl Rogers no Brasil
Authors: Castelo Branco Paulo Coelho , Dias Cirino Sérgio 
Published: October 2020

Segundo uma perspectiva historiográfica, objetivamos (re)organizar, revisitar e refletir a recepção e circulação da psicologia humanista de Carl Rogers no Brasil. Inicialmente, apresentamos os conceitos de recepção e circulação e suas implicações para uma história da psicologia em contexto. Posteriormente, revisamos quatro momentos históricos de recepção e circulação de ideias rogerianas no Brasil, a saber, pré-história (1945-1976), fertilização (1977-1986), declínio (1987-1989) e ascensão / renascimento (1990 em diante). Em seguida, analisamos as traduções das obras de Rogers para o português brasileiro, especificando como elas contribuíram para essa recepção e circulação, nas décadas de 1970-2010. Refletimos que, atualmente, no Brasil, há poucos livros de Rogers em edição e existem algumas obras metodológicas, autobiográficas e clínicas que não foram traduzidas. Decorrem disso uma dificuldade no acesso total dos planos de pesquisa e de fundamentação teórica, clínica e educacional de Rogers, além
do conhecimento parcial da vida e da obra desse autor, conforme as suas narrativas. Argumentamos, finalmente, que esses aspectos contribuíram para o desenvolvimento de uma abordagem centrada na pessoa com especificidades locais, sobretudo, fenomenológico-existenciais.

Avaliação por triangulação de métodos de um núcleo de gestão de leitos em um hospital público do Distrito Federal
Authors: Oliveira Bárbara De Paula , Bittencourt Roberto José 
Published: October 2020

A gestão de leitos tem se mostrado como uma estratégia para gerir os leitos hospitalares de forma equânime e transparente (Brasil, 2017). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o grau de implantação do Núcleo de Gestão de Leitos de um Hospital Público do Distrito Federal através da análise de estrutura, processo e resultados e apresentar a percepção dos profissionais do núcleo em relação ao seu funcionamento. Os resultados mostram um grau de implementação incipiente (28,5%) com Taxas de Ocupação e Tempo Médio de Permanência abaixo do preconizado, um processo de trabalho sem desfecho comum, e a percepção dos profissionais de que não têm autonomia para tomar decisões referentes aos leitos. Este estudo de caso nos dá luz sobre como a gestão de leitos está acontecendo em um hospital público e permite refletir sobre as limitações que impedem que o trabalho seja executado em sua totalidade. Mesmo que haja profissionais comprometidos, é preciso considerar as esferas de poder que interferem na tomada de decisões e execução do trabalho.

Authors: Dutra Evelyn De Britto , Gomes Vanessa Cabral 
Published: October 2020

O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar, por meio da abordagem sistêmica, indicadores de qualidade da Saúde no Brasil. A saúde representa um sistema, que transforma insumos em resultado especializados, com serviços para atender às necessidades de saúde dos usuários. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com dados quantitativos e secundários. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi uma adaptação do Painel de Monitoramento e de Avaliação da Gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde, que divide os indicadores em: entradas - demanda, capital e força de trabalho; processos - participação e controle social; saídas - produtos e resultados. Os principais resultados apontaram que, dos 17 indicadores analisados, somente 7 atenderam ao critério de qualidade, sendo 1 das entradas, 3 no processo e 3 nas saídas. Embora a entrada não esteja sendo suprida com qualidade, os indicadores de resultados mostram que as demandas transformadas conseguem impactar positivamente a saúde da população.
Public Financing Support Options to Micro-Enterprises for Innovation
Authors: Beizitere Ilona , Brence Ieva , Sloka Biruta 
Published: October 2020

Innovation related to the technological advances of entrepreneurship are essential in Industry 4.0. The availability of sufficient funding is one of the factors promoting innovations in companies. Therefore the issue of access to finance remains relevant. The study investigates the availability of public financial support for micro-enterprises - the largest enterprise category in Latvia (approximately 94%), focusing on those for whom the introduction of innovations is essential for their growth. In an ad hoc survey of companies registered in Latvia in nationally defined sectors, entrepreneurs disclosed their sources of funding over the three-year period: 2015-2017. Valid responses from 2511 companies, of them 1879 were micro-enterprises, revealed not only the diversity of their financial sources but also the reluctance of external financiers to support companies willing to innovate. Out of the micro-enterprises surveyed, which required new or additional funding during the three-year period in question, 21% stated that the goal of funding was “the development and introduction of new products or services”. Innovation as an important factor was stated by 28% micro-enterprises. According to the data processed by SPSS, micro-enterprises still prefer internal financing (64%) among many sources, whereas only 11% of the respondents used public funding. The micro-enterprises, for which innovation is important, relied solely on internal finance (65%), while public support was used by 13%. Based on the results of the study of Latvian companies, the need to improve the availability of financing for micro-enterprises is highlighted by creating a targeted\external funding offer in the form of a financial instrument based on public finance support.
Gene flow relates to evolutionary divergence among populations at the range margin
Authors: Kaňuch Peter , Kiehl Berrit , Cassel-Lundhagen Anna , Laugen Ane T. , Low Matthew , Berggren Åsa 
Published: October 2020

Background
Morphological differentiation between populations resulting from local adaptations to environmental conditions is likely to be more pronounced in populations with increasing genetic isolation. In a previous study a positive clinal variation in body size was observed in isolated Roesel’s bush-cricket, Metrioptera roeselii, populations, but were absent from populations within a continuous distribution at the same latitudinal range. This observational study inferred that there was a phenotypic effect of gene flow on climate-induced selection in this species.

Methods
To disentangle genetic versus environmental drivers of population differences in morphology, we measured the size of four different body traits in wild-caught individuals from the two most distinct latitudinally-matched pairs of populations occurring at about 60°N latitude in northern Europe, characterised by either restricted or continuous gene flow, and corresponding individuals raised under laboratory conditions.

Results
Individuals that originated from the genetically isolated populations were always bigger (femur, pronotum and genital appendages) when compared to individuals from latitudinally-matched areas characterised by continuous gene flow between populations. The magnitude of this effect was similar for wild-caught and laboratory-reared individuals. We found that previously observed size cline variation in both male and female crickets was likely to be the result of local genetic adaptation rather than phenotypic plasticity.

Conclusions
This strongly suggests that restricted gene flow is of major importance for frequencies of alleles that participate in climate-induced selection acting to favour larger phenotypes in isolated populations towards colder latitudes.
Constitution of a comprehensive phytochemical profile and network pharmacology based investigation to decipher molecular mechanisms of Teucrium polium L. in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Kutluay Vahap Murat , Diker Neziha Yagmur 
Published: October 2020

Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease affecting a huge population worldwide. Teucrium polium L. has been used as a folk medicine for the treatment of T2DM in Anatolia, Turkey. The antihyperglycemic effect of the plant was reported previously. However, there was no detailed study on the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, we generated a research plan to clarify the active constituents of the extract and uncover the molecular mechanisms using network pharmacology analysis.

Methods
For this purpose, we composed a dataset of 126 compounds for the phytochemical profile of the aerial parts of T. polium. Drug-likeness of the compounds was evaluated, and 52 compounds were selected for further investigation. A total of 252 T2DM related targets hit by selected compounds were subjected to DAVID database.

Results
The KEGG pathway analysis showed enrichment for the TNF signaling pathway, insulin resistance, the HIF-1 signaling pathway, apoptosis, the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, the FOXO signaling pathway, the insulin signaling pathway, and type 2 diabetes mellitus which are related to T2DM . AKT1, IL6, STAT3, TP53, INS, and VEGFA were found to be key targets in protein-protein interaction. Besides these key targets, with this study the role of GSK3β, GLUT4, and PDX1 were also discussed through literature and considered as important targets in the antidiabetic effect of T. polium. Various compounds of T. polium were shown to interact with the key targets activating PI3K-AKT and insulin signaling pathways.

Conclusions
According to these findings, mainly phenolic compounds were identified as the active components and IRS1/PI3K/AKT signaling and insulin resistance were identified as the main pathways regulated by T. polium. This study reveals the relationship of the compounds in T. polium with the targets of T2DM in human. Our findings suggested the use of T. polium as an effective herbal drug in the treatment of T2DM and provides new insights for further research on the antidiabetic effect of T. polium.
Geospatial Dynamics of Cropping pattern and Agricultural Efficiency in Kashmir Valley-A Northwestern Himalayan Region, India

Published: October 2020

Food (in)security and agricultural efficiency is a major challenge in many of the world’s mountain ranges. The particular physical characteristics of mountains and associated socioeconomic factors, mountain regions all over the world face challenges in terms of food security and cropping pattern, although at different levels. Mountains in developing countries are sites of poverty. About 40 percent of the mountain population or nearly 300 million people are estimated to be vulnerable to food insecurity, of these, nearly 90 percent live in rural areas and almost half of those are likely to be chronically hungry. The present study also focuses on the regional disparities in agricultural efficiency and cropping pattern across different tehsils of Kashmir Valley-A north-western part of Himalayas. The study was carried out across thirty-nine spatial units (Tehsils) among different districts of Kashmir valley in GIS and remote sensing environment. Both primary and secondary data was employed. The study shows that the productivity of paddy, maize, and wheat is showing an increasing trend among all tehsils of Kashmir valley from 2011 to 2017 but the area under these crops is decreasing at an alarming rate leading a food deficit of 21.70 percent. So, agriculture planning is badly needed to curb this grave problem and impose restrictions to land conversion a burning issue nowadays
