Abstract. The magnitude of carbon (C) loss to the atmosphere via microbial
decomposition is a function of the amount of C stored in soils, the quality
of the organic matter, and physical, chemical, and biological factors that
comprise the environment for decomposition. The decomposability of C is
commonly assessed by laboratory soil incubation studies that measure
greenhouse gases mineralized from soils under controlled conditions. Here,
we introduce the Soil Incubation Database (SIDb) version 1.0, a compilation
of time series data from incubations, structured into a new, publicly
available, open-access database of C flux (carbon dioxide, CO2, or
methane, CH4). In addition, the SIDb project also provides a platform
for the development of tools for reading and analysis of incubation data as
well as documentation for future use and development. In addition to
introducing SIDb, we provide reporting guidance for database entry and the
required variables that incubation studies need at minimum to be included in
SIDb. A key application of this synthesis effort is to better characterize
soil C processes in Earth system models, which will in turn reduce our
uncertainty in predicting the response of soil C decomposition to a changing
climate. We demonstrate a framework to fit curves to a number of incubation
studies from diverse ecosystems, depths, and organic matter content using a
built-in model development module that integrates SIDb with the existing
SoilR package to estimate soil C pools from time series data. The database
will help bridge the gap between point location measurements, which are
commonly used in incubation studies, and global remote-sensed data or data
products derived from models aimed at assessing global-scale rates of
decomposition and C turnover. The SIDb version 1.0 is archived and publicly
available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3871263 (Sierra et al., 2020), and the database is managed
under a version-controlled system and centrally stored in GitHub (https://github.com/SoilBGC-Datashare/sidb, last access: 26 June 2020).
La ética de los monstruos
Authors: Chaves Gil Jose Ignacio 
Published: July 2020

Las representaciones alrededor de personalidades complejas, tal vez físicamente deformes, psicológicamente desviadas o de comportamientos “crueles”, han contribuido a la construcción de ciertos imaginarios sobre esos “monstruos” para intentar mantenernos al margen de sus actos y pensamientos, para no “contagiarnos”. Como si los demás no fuéramos también, de alguna manera, “monstruos”.
El temor a lo extraño, a lo diferente, a lo que se sale de la “normalidad” impuesta, nos hace comportarnos también como monstruos frente a las personas distintas, ya lo sean por su físico, su religión, su ideología, sus opciones sexuales o cualquier otro atributo que los haga disímiles.
n. 28 - A EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR NO BRASIL CONTEMPORÂNEO (1995-2016): UMA ANÁLISE DOS GOVERNOS DE FERNANDO HENRIQUE CARDOSO, LUÍS INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA E DILMA ROUSSEFF
Authors: Lima Tatiane , Cunha Mauro 
Published: July 2020

Este artigo elege como objetivo central analisar o processo de transformação da educação superior no Brasil, considerando a ampliação do acesso a este nível de ensino nos governos de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-1998; 1999-2002), Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2006; 2007-2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2011-2014; 2015-2016). Para tanto, foram compiladas fontes primárias, por meio do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais “Anísio Teixeira” (Inep), bem como foram levantadas fontes secundárias, a literatura referente ao tema. Na primeira seção, apresentamos as reformas no campo da educação superior no Brasil a partir dos anos 1990, considerando-se os processos de privatização e mercantilização. Na segunda seção, destacamos as propostas dos Governos Lula e Dilma para a educação superior a partir dos anos 2000. Como conclusão, pode-se afirmar que ocorreu um intenso processo de expansão do acesso à educação superior no período considerado. Nesse contexto, notou-se que o Governo FHC teve como traço característico o processo de expansão da iniciativa privada e da transformação da educação em mercadoria. Em contrapartida, os Governos Lula e Dilma centraram-se no investimento dos setores público e privado, não rompendo completamente com o ideário anterior, mas buscando um processo de conciliação.

Peak yield (PY), peak time (PT) and lactation persistency (LP) were also calculated. These individual parameters were employed in multi-trait analysis with the milk yield (MY) using Bayesian inference.Main results: The heritability estimates were of low to moderate magnitudes, with values ranging from 0.156 ( ) to 0.299 (PY). The estimates for genetic correlation between the Wood’s parameters and MY were of low to high magnitude and ranged from -0.533 ( and MY) to 0.983 (PY and MY).Research highlights: The heritability estimates obtained indicate that the traits studied can be used in animal breeding programs.
Percepciones de los consumidores de alimentos ecológicos en Ambato, Ecuador
Authors: Castro Analuiza Juan Carlos , Checa Morales Cristina , Perea José 
Published: July 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the factors that explain consumers purchasing behavior towards organic food products in Ambato (Ecuador). Methodology: Data were collected a survey of 1,500 organic consumers and other 1,500 consumers who prefer conventional foods, and analyzed using multivariate techniques. Results: Principal component analysis identified four factors which explain the buying behavior of organic consumers: Belief in health benefits, quality and taste attributes; belief in environmental benefits; and contextual issues. Cluster analysis identified three groups of organic consumers: organic consumers interested in self benefit and highly influenced by contextual aspects (Group I), organic consumers interested in expected environment benefits (Group II) and organic consumers very interested in self benefits and less affected by contextual aspects (Group III). The relationships established in organic consumers are different to conventional consumers. This defines different variables that explain the purchase process. The socio-demographics profiles were different in gender and occupation; women and free license workers were more frequently interested in buying organic foods. Limitations: The study was carried out in the city of Ambato that could be considered representative of the Ecuadorian urban society. The results should be complemented by future studies focused on other cities or rural areas. Practical implications: Results suggest that the Ecuadorian organic sector follows the developing patterns identified in the Western countries. This implies that the promotion and practical support for the organic sector should be focused on strengthening positive attitudes towards organic purchases.

Published: July 2020

Background
Extracellular production of fungal lipases especially the lipases obtained from the Aspergilli has gained immense interest in recent years due to its diverse biotechnological applications. In this study, we focused on determining the fermentation parameters required for the optimal lipase production.

Methods
A total of 256 fungal isolates were obtained from oil seeds. From each genus, one isolate was selected to evaluate lipase production using phenol red and tributyrin plate assays. Lipase activity was estimated using the spectrophotometric pNPP hydrolysis assay. The highest lipase producer isolates were identified using 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. The genetic variability was determined by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and the dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages method. The isolates were examined in a submerged fermentation culture (Smf) to measure the effect of temperature, pH, incubation time, carbon source, nitrogen source, inoculum volume, and lipid source on lipase production.

Results
Eleven isolates belonging to the genus Aspergillus were analyzed for lipase production where they were found to be the highest lipase producers among various fungal genera. All the tested isolates were identified as A. niger using 18s rRNA sequencing. Genetic diversity was evaluated among all of the studied A. niger isolates using RAPD primers. The RAPD primers were used to amplify 285 loci, of which five were polymorphic (1.75%) and seven were monomorphic (2.45%). Thus, a high level of genetic diversity was observed among all isolates. The tributyrin test and the lipase activity assay identified five strains of A. niger as high lipase producers, and their optimal enzyme activities were 709.74, 532.54, 735.64, 794.62, and 787.69 U/ml. The optimal conditions for lipase production were as follows: 40 °C, pH 7.5, 1% fructose as the carbon source, 1% yeast extract as the nitrogen source, 2% palm oil, 2.5 × 107 spores/ml suspension, and 3 days of incubation.

Conclusions
The current study provides a comprehensive characterization of the optimal conditions, which are essential to enhance lipase production in five A. niger isolates.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
Water-level fluctuations can have significant effects on lake biological communities. Thirlmere Lakes are a group of five interconnected lakes located near Sydney. Water levels in Thirlmere Lakes have fluctuated over time, but there has been a recent decline that is of significant concern. In this study, we examined over one year the species composition and richness of zooplankton (Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda) and abiotic conditions in Lakes Nerrigorang and Werri Berri, two of the five Thirlmere lakes, with reference to lake water level. We recorded a total of 66 taxa of zooplankton, with the first report of the rotifer Notommata saccigera from Australia, and the first report of the rotifers Keratella javana, Lecane rhytida and Rousseletia corniculata from New South Wales. There was a marked difference in abiotic conditions between the two lakes, with more variable conditions in Lake Nerrigorang. There was a significant positive correlation between zooplankton species richness and lake water level but only for Lake Nerrigorang. Although the two lakes are closely situated and thought to be potentially connected at high water levels, they show distinct ecological characters and the effect of water-level fluctuations on zooplankton species richness seems to differ between the lakes.

Authors: Dapo Oni, Oluwatobi , Mohammed Zakari, Mustapha , Chidinma Okemmiri, Innocentia 
Published: July 2020

Aims: This study examines the occurrence of various medical cases presented by enrollees that have subscribed to access healthcare from a network of healthcare providers (HCPs) managed by a Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) under its Private Health Insurance Programme (PHIP).
Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed.
Methodology: Secondary data from collected or submitted medical encounters in form of bills of registered enrollees (principals and their dependants) who have visited and received treatment from their chosen healthcare providers in Kaduna State between the month of January and December 2019 were purposively compiled and analysed. Cases were classified using the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Operational Guideline. Frequency tables, charts, percentages and Chi-Square analysis were used with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22 at P=.05 level of significance.
Results: A total of 11,156 medical cases were recorded after attrition, 9,525 (85.38%) primary cases and 1,632 (14.62%) secondary cases. Malaria (41.23%) and Respiratory Tract Infection (11.98%) led the primary case table while Hypertension (3.83%) Urology related cases (2.49%) and Diabetes (0.79%) were among the leading secondary cases. Female enrollees had slightly more cases and therefore higher tendencies to seek medical treatment than their male counterpart even though there was no significant relation between gender and type of case.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the awareness and utilization of healthcare services are gradually growing among enrollees under the Private Health Insurance Programme (PHIP). In ensuring that there is an improvement in the health sector of Nigeria and achieving universal health coverage, focus should be on the primary healthcare services with high consideration for research, proper data management and periodic sharing of trends, observations and outcome of researches with the growing health community.

Published: July 2020

Background: Chronic kidney disease can affect different aspects of female patient’s life including menstrual pattern, marital status and sexuality, fertility, pregnancy outcome, and recommended methods of contraception especially when initiated on HD.
In Egypt, it has been noticed that it is infrequent for a hemodialysis (HD) female to start her marriage after initiation of HD; this may be attributed to a negative self-image experienced by the patient and perceived by the community. Moreover, it is also less common for an HD patient to marry another HD partner and it is odd for them to conceive during HD.
Aim: To describe the possibility of starting family and plan for successful pregnancy during the course of HD therapy in patients with ESRD.
Patient Scenario: Our case is a 36 years old Egyptian female who started HD in 1999 and continued on HD for 17 years. She married four times and conceived five times from three husbands. She got live birth only once from her second HD husband, but unfortunately, the baby died within a few days. The patient used Implanon - with its possible side effects- as a method of contraception during her last four years of life. After hectic 17 years under HD and unfortunate marital and fertility events, she decided to withdraw from her dialysis program, chose to live in isolation, and passed away within five days as a consequence of cerebral hemorrhage.
Results and Conclusions: Fertility and successful pregnancies are believed to be possible in HD couples if they receive proper care.

Published: July 2020

Aedes aegypti (Culicidae) is the main vector for dengue which is endemic in Nigeria and Africa at large. Use of synthetic materials for the control of this vector has always proven abortive. The introduction of plant metabolites which is biodegradable maybe successful and safer to the human health in the control programme of this vector since plants are very rich in bioactive secondary metabolites. Hence, we evaluated the larvicidal activity of the crude methanol extract, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol fractions of Hannoa klaineana (Simaroubaceae) against the IV instar larvae of A. aegypti mosquitousing standard protocols. The most active fractions were n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions with LC50 values of 1.006, 1.479, and 3.198 mg/ml respectively; n-hexane fraction having the highest property with LC50 value of 1.006 mg/ml and followed by chloroform fraction with LC50 value of 1.479 mg/ml. The evaluation has shown that the secondary metabolites of H. klaineana can be used as an alternative for the synthetic larvicides which its use has proven abortive in the vector control programmes.

Published: July 2020

Background: Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem. It causes ill-health among millions of people each year and ranks alongside the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as a leading cause of death worldwide. The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical and humanistic outcomes of tuberculosis treatment at the directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS) centre in Jos University Teaching Hospital.
Methods: Data for clinical outcomes was collected retrospectively at the directly observed treatment shortcouse centre of Jos University Teaching Hospital from a cross-section of patients’ folders who had been treated for tuberculosis at the study site for at least 12months as at 1st April to 30th September 2018 while a validated questionnaire was administered prospectively to a census population of tuberculosis patients still undergoing treatment between 1st October 2018 and 31st March 2019 to determine the humanistic outcomes. A descriptive data analysis was done using SPSS version 23 and proportions were tested using chi squared statistics with significance level set at P<0.05.
Results: The study revealed that tuberculosis treatment success in the centre was 76.33% which falls short of WHO standard of minimum of 85%. Patients taking tuberculosis treatment in the centre are satisfied with the services rendered to them and the improvement in their health conditions. Unfriendly attitude of some health care providers in the facility is an area for intervention.
Conclusion: Clinical and humanistic outcomes of tuberculosis treatment was found to be satisfactory in the facility owing to the level of treatment success and patient reported satisfaction with facility services and improvement in their health conditions.
