Aims: This study investigated the antioxidant activity and the 90 days subchronic toxicity of the standardized LAMIC phytomedicine prototype based on aqueous extracts from Lannea microcarpa trunk bark.
Methods: Three spectrophotometric methods were used to evaluated the antioxidant activity of LAMIC which were 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, 2,2’-azinobis(3-ethylbenzolin-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) radical scavenging assays and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. For the standardized LAMIC subchronic toxicity study, male and female Wistar rats were used by daily oral administration at doses of 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw consecutively for 90 days.
Results: The LAMIC extract exhibit better inhibitory activity against DPPH radical than ABTS radical with respective IC50 values of 45.38±3.21 µg/mL and 66.45±18.76 µg/mL, while FRAP assay exhibit antioxidant activity of 211.34±15.92 mmol EAA/g.
Subchronic oral administration of LAMIC was well-tolerated at all tested doses. No behavioral and physiological changes and mortality were observed. The LAMIC extract did not present any impact on general hematological parameters and biochemical parameters. Moreover, no significant changes were raised in organ and body weight of treated groups compared to the Control group.
Conclusion: These results support that LAMIC prototype was a valuable source of natural antioxidants and no toxicity was associated to its long terms oral consumption in rats indicating a potential application as a cardiovascular protective formulation.

Daily Dietary Nutrition and Nutraceutical Intake in Agricultural Laborers of Hirakud Command Area, Sambalpur, Odisha, India
Authors: Pradhan Monalisa , Guru Pravabati , PAITAL BISWARANJAN 
Published: October 2019

Sambalpur is considered as the rice bowl of Odisha for its cultivation activities due to the presence of hydroelectric power house Hirakud Dam, with total capacity of 5,896,000,000 m3, 55 km long and is one of the first major multipurpose river valley projects started after India's independence. It irrigates about 75,000 km2 (19×106 acres) of land and therefore, is considered as a blessing to the farmer families. As because of cultivation and allied activities, Agricultural Laborers (ALs) constitute a large portion of the active work force. Study on the nutritional intake in this important fraction of population is lacking. Present study was an attempt to know the food consumption pattern and nutritional intakes of ALs in Hirakud command area of Sambalpur district, India. Data were collected from 300 ALs, consisting of 150 from each gender. Daily dietary pattern and nutritional intake of respondent were calculated through 24 hours dietary recall method. It was observed that ALs consume all most all the food varieties available in Odisha. Cereal consumption was 6.80 and 1.77 % excess than the recommend value dietary allowance (RDA) by Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR, in 1990). Except cereals, all other food consumption was below the RDA value in ALs. The intake of other food varieties in ALs was > 60% deficit from the RDA values. Consumption of milk was 97% less in case of male ALs and 98 % less in case of female ALs in comparison to the values suggested in RDA. Similarly, consumption of all nutrients was less than RDA norms except Vitamin -C in case of male ALs. The consumption of Niacin and Vitamin -C was excess in case of female ALs. Alternate low cost food supply is suggested to compensate such insufficient nutritional uptake by ALs in the study area.

Published: October 2019

Plants possess a unique defense mechanism unlike humans and animals that protects them from harmful microorganism to herbivores by secreting low molecular weight compounds called secondary metabolites. The compounds are concentrated in essential oil of the plants and its medicinal properties cure human illnesses too. Some of those plants still being used in traditional medicine by human, ever since civilized using plants as medicine. The ancient civilizations India, China and Europe only used plants as medicine. The emergence and enormous growth of allopathic medicine in the 19th century caused the downfall of the traditional medicine system. Now in the 21st century the scenario changed, the scientists trying to rediscover the ancient medicine through science to cure deadly diseases. In this review we focused on the researches that determined the antiviral properties of plant secondary metabolites for the development of drugs.

Published: October 2019

The Purpose of designing sustained or controlled delivery systems has always been to bring down the dose frequency that offers better patient compliance & reduced side effects Microspheres have shown to reduce the dose, side effects, frequency of administration and possibility of dose dumping, therefore increased patient compliance. There are several methods of preparation for microspheres, slight variation in basic method can produce numerous changes in final outcome. However various problems are still not resolved with these methods like wide size distribution & poor repeatability. Biodegradation rate of the microspheres in controlled by the composition of the microspheres and consecutively affects the release profile of drug, i.e. PGA, PLA and PCL have hydrolytic degradation role in order of PGA>PLA>>PCL.

MULTIPLICANDO AS CIÊNCIAS: UM ESTUDO ETNOGRÁFICO SOBRE FAZERES CIENTÍFICOS DA EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA
Authors: Silveira Raquel Da , Stigger Marco Paulo , Myskiw Mauro 
Published: October 2019

Desde os anos 2000 ocorreram ampliações e intensificações da comunidade de pesquisadores(as) e dos aparatos científicos comprometidos com a Educação Física (EF). Esse processo aconteceu/acontece em meio a diversos tensionamentos que passaram a ser problematizados em estudos e debates. Instigados por esses fatos e problematizações, o objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender de que modo se faz ciência na EF brasileira. Para isso realizamos um estudo etnográfico em dois grupos de pesquisa da EF, em que seguimos humanos e não humanos, associações e controvérsias. Ao acompanhar o dia a dia desses grupos chegamos à conclusão de que há múltiplas ciências da EF. Diante dessa constatação, o principal encaminhamento e provocação desta pesquisa é que ao indagar sobre a ciência da EF (note-se, no singular) passa a ser indispensável indagar sobre os tipos de relações que foram e estão sendo estabelecidas Educação Física. Ciência. Antropologia Cultural. Conhecimento.

Published: October 2019

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar as trajetórias de expansão do setor turístico no Rio Grande do Norte, estado situado na Região Nordeste do Brasil, considerando seus dois destinos mais importantes: Natal, capital estadual e Tibau do Sul, onde está localizada a praia de Pipa. O estudo comparativo da dinâmica dos empregos turísticos nesses dois municípios no período 2001- 2016 oferece indicações a respeito do peso do turismo na determinação do emprego ao longo do tempo nos mesmos. A hipótese que sustenta este trabalho é que enquanto a atividade turística em Natal experimentou perda de importância relativa, a inserção alcançada por Pipa nos mercados internacional e nacional tornou-a um produto turístico singular, determinando uma trajetória de crescimento mais intensivo dos negócios ligados ao setor e promovendo a concentração do emprego nesta localidade. Os resultados obtidos a partir do Quociente locacional (), do índice Hirschman- Herfindahl () e do índice de Participação Relativa () permitem aumentar o grau de confiança na hipótese formulada.

Enseñanzas sobre el desarrollo económico local y la descentralización en América Latina
Authors: Llorens Francisco Albuquerque 
Published: October 2019

Hace 15 años, la revista CEPAL, en su número de Abril de 2004, daba cuenta de un proyecto de investigación cofinanciado por la Agencia Técnica Alemana de Cooperación Internacional (entonces GTZ), en el cual la evidencia empírica derivada del estudio de casi 30 estudios de caso en siete países de América Latina, mostraba que la emergencia de iniciativas de desarrollo económico local no se explicaba únicamente por el avance de los procesos de descentralización en los diferentes países de la región, sino como resultado de un conjunto más complejo de factores surgidos desde los propios territorios, con la movilización y actuación de agentes locales, públicos y privados. En este artículo se recuerdan las enseñanzas derivadas de aquella investigación en terreno, en la convicción de que pueden seguir manteniendo interés. No obstante, en el momento actual es preciso añadir los temas de la sostenibilidad ambiental que en aquel momento no eran aún parte de los debates y que hoy deben abordarse sin más demora.

Local Journalism when the Journalists Leave Town
Authors: Karlsson Michael , Rowe Erika Hellekant 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Editorial offices are being shut down in small municipalities, raising the question of whether hyperlocal media can fill the gap left by legacy media. However, very little is known about the shape of this gap and thus to what extent it can be filled by hyperlocal media. To inform this line of research, this study asks: what happens to the news coverage of a municipality when there is no permanent presence of journalists? A quantitative content analysis (N = 606), measuring news topics, framing, style, original reporting and sourcing practices, was performed regarding the news coverage of 12 Swedish municipalities – six with editorial offices of a legacy media organisation and six without. The results indicate that municipalities receive less original coverage, community news receives less attention and institutional actors are quoted more often when there is no permanent presence of journalists. Implications for communities and hyperlocal media are discussed.
Local Media Ecologies
Authors: Nygren Gunnar 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Legacy media and social media are intertwined in a complicated relationship in local media ecologies. The recent national Swedish SOM survey on media use shows that people use Facebook more than local newspapers (both paper and online) to stay up to date with local events. In contrast, though, users still regard legacy media like subscription newspapers and the regional public service as more important sources than social media. Local newspapers are experiencing a decline in their number of users, but new hyperlocals are showing more stable numbers. Nevertheless, newspapers produce most of the original news reporting, and the public service and hyperlocals have more complementary positions in local media ecologies. They are all meeting the audience in the expanding public sphere of Facebook.
Public Organisations as News Producers
Authors: Grafström Maria , Rehnberg Hanna Sofia 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to shed light on a new phenomenon in the media landscape, namely public organisations taking on the role of news producers. The analysis focuses on the digital news site VGRfokus, which is run by the Swedish county council Region Västra Götaland (VGR). The articulated goal of VGRfocus is to fill a perceived news gap in the county. Using previous literature on hyperlocal media as a lens for the analysis, we discuss how a regional news outlet produced by a public organisation can be characterised and understood. Based on our case study, we show that, while VGRfokus partly resembles other newcomers, it also has features that make it a very special news producer. This distinctiveness relates in particular to the fact that VGRfokus is part of a large, public organisation and holds ambitions to promote the work of the county council and represent its geographical area. This places issues concerning trustworthiness and credibility at the centre of the discussion and raises questions about democratic implications.
Emerging Forms of Hyperlocal Media

Published: October 2019

Abstract
In the Nordic countries, local and regional newspapers have functioned as keystone media. This article examines the emergence of hyperlocal initiatives as part of evolving local media ecosystems in Finland, analysing the extent and characteristics of hyperlocal media, and how they relate to wider changes in the Finnish media ecosystem. The data gathered on hyperlocal initiatives include a semi-structured survey by phone and online. The research conducted shows that the field is diverse. Rather than considering hyperlocal media in the context of typical publication forms, these newcomers can be best described according to a set of dimensions. Furthermore, the results indicate rather a strong desire to engage people in community building. The emergence of hyperlocal publications means adding a new layer to the Finnish media ecosystem. This development also provides the grounds for further study of the possible emergence of a new media era in Finland.

SPECIFIC FEATURES IN THE EXPRESSION OF INTRASPECIES VARIABILITY OF PRUNUS PUMILA FRUITS IN CHELYABINSK PROVINCE IN THE PROCESS OF INTRODUCTION
Authors: Lezin M. S. , Simagin V. S. , Lokteva A. V. 
Published: October 2019

Background. The studied population of Prunus pumila L. has been introduced into Chelyabinsk Province, as its natural area of distribution is in North America. Of interest for researchers is the introduced population’s variability, induced by the effect of soil and climate factors natural for its new habitat.Materials and methods. A collection of 197 plants was employed to study the variability of P. pumila. Morphological characters were described in compliance with atlases dedicated to seed and fruit descriptive morphology, with some adjustments concerning specific features of the subfamily Prunoideae Focke. The confidence interval for means was calculated using the reliability criterion of t2 = 2.576. The degree of variation was assessed for the studied characters according to S. A. Mamaev’s scale.Results and conclusion. The average fruit weight was 2.49±0.11 g and varied from 1.25 to 5.15 g. The average stone weight was 0.25±0.01 g. Out of the number of morphometric traits, almost all linear characters of fruit and stone size had low variability (coefficient of variation [V]: 8–12%). Of those linear characters, only the peduncle length showed medium variability (V = 13–20%). The stone weight also had medium variability, while the fruit weight demonstrated high variability (V = 21–30%). The fruit shape was subglobose (40.3%), less frequently ovate (20.9%), ovoid (20.9%), broadly ovoid (9.7%), cordate (6.1%) or elliptic (2.0%). The ventral suture was usually barely noticeable, less frequently moderately (3.1%) or strongly expressed (1.0%). Polymorphism was observed in the pulp color, which was usually green-pink (72.8%). The P. pumila stone shape was elliptic (38.1%) or subglobose (34.0%), less frequently prolate (10.7%), ovoid (13.2%) or obovate (4.1%). The stone was symmetrically shaped from the ventral suture and sides, usually looking subglobose from the sides. The shape of the stone’s apex was rounded (85.3%) or, less frequently, obtusely mucronate (15.7%); its base was rounded (80.7%), often attenuate (15.7%), less frequently slightly slanted (3.6%). The stone surface texture was smooth (57.4%), often slightly costate (36.5%). There were several cases of a more costate surface of the stone (6.1%). Thus, the introduced population was found to have broad polymorphism of morphological characters in the fruit and the stone. A considerable increase was observed in morphometric indicators, including the size of fruit and stone, compared with those typical for the species in natural environments, which may be of special significance for breeders. The fusiform shape of the stone, characteristic of var. depressa Pursh. in its natural habitat, was absent in the introduced population.

Published: October 2019

The work purpose consists in the algorithm development for aircraft target choice. The investigations were carried out with the use of methods of a system analysis, a theory of modeling, mathematical methods, methods of object-directed programming.
In farms when agricultural area processing it is advisable to use an aircraft. A choice is argued by aircraft advantages over the ground-based means of agricultural area processing which consist in mobility and a processing speed and also in the absence of mechanical impact upon the growth of the area under processing. In the paper there is offered a procedure for a choice of an aircraft type for processing different agricultural area on the criterion of minimum costs. An investigation novelty consists in the use of the algorithm developed with reference to the choice of agricultural aircraft for chemical agent distribution depending on agricultural area dimensions and a landscape.
Conclusion: the developed algorithm for a target choice of an aircraft allows carrying out a complex analysis both of aircrafts (characters, engineering and flight characteristics) on the basis of costs minimum for an agricultural area processing, and a geometry (dimensions and configuration) of the areas to be subjected to processing. In the paper as an example there is carried out a choice of an aircraft for processing a set of areas with specified dimensions.
