Published: September 2021

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Just-in-time procurement strategy on organization performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Nairobi County.
Methodology: The study adopted a causal research design. To collect primary data the respondents answered questions administered to them through questionnaires. The unit of observation consisted of the Heads of Procurement, Production, Sales and Finance of the food and beverage manufacturing firms located in Nairobi County as listed by Kenya Association of Manufacturers in 2019. The sample size was 83 heads of department. Face validity was used to determine the accuracy of the study instrument while test re-test method was used to determine the reliability. The completed questionnaires were analysed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.
Findings: From the study findings Just-in-time (JIT) procurement strategy (β=0.689, t=3.469, p=0.001) had a positive effect on organization performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms. The value of adjusted R2 was 0.167 indicating that there was variation of 16.7 percent on organization performance due to changes in JIT procurement at 95 percent confidence interval.
Conclusion: The study concluded that JIT Procurement strategy has a positive effect on organization performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Nairobi County. The overall effect of JIT Procurement strategy on organization performance was 68.9%. The study therefore accepted the alternative hypothesis that JIT procurement strategy has significant effect on organization performance of food and beverages manufacturers in Nairobi County.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Food and beverge manufacturing firms in developing countries should consider implementing JIT Procurement strategy. This will ensure that they purchase the optimal level of items when needed to avoid keeping unnecessary inventory which ties up money and at the same time ensure that there is no shortage so that the customers have to wait. Policy makers in the food and beverage manufacturing sector should consider developing policies to promote JIT Procurement strategy in this industry. Further research should be conducted focusing on the service sector to investigate the effect of JIT Procurement strategy on organization performance for comparison.
IMPACT OF HUMAN POPULATION ON LAND DEGRADATION. A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Kimani Cassan 
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The better management of land resources is essential for sustainability and for improving the quality of life of people living in the city and the peri urban areas who are mostly farmers With major changes being agricultural land use giving way to residential land use in the peri urban area, access to agricultural land is drastically reduced causing food insecurity problems in the region. The general objective of the study was to establish the access the impact of human population on land degradation.
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The study found out that increase in human population has resulted to more land-use and land cover changes are likely to take place as more land is converted over time, forest to agricultural land, and agricultural land to built-up land, which threatens the existence of agricultural land and water sources in the future.
Recommendations: The study recommends that there is the need for stakeholder participation and institutionalize stakeholders’ participations in land use planning process and urban planning. It is only when the public and land owners are well informed about land management issues that a positive change of attitude, adherence to laws on land use among others can be achieved. The county government and the national governments should come up with policies to outlaw arbitrary sale of land especially in areas where the main form of land use is agriculture to enhance the effectiveness of zoning regulations. It is important that the management of land be made the first priority in the study area and the nation as a whole. The various land sector agencies and institutions responsible for land management should enforce the existing laws on land management
Tree Water Stress and Insect Geographic Origin Influence Patterns of Herbivory by Borers in Green (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and Manchurian (F. mandshurica) Ash
Authors: Martinson Holly M. , Sargent Chris , Raupp Michael J. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractEmerald ash borer (EAB),Agrilus planipennis(Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a devastating buprestid beetle introduced to North America from Asia. Asian ash trees exhibit resistance to EAB, likely due to a shared co-evolutionary history. Resistance to one pest, however, does not necessarily confer resistance to others. Should Asian ash be highly susceptible to North American herbivores, the utility of such species for hybridization, breeding programs, and establishment in managed landscapes could be compromised. Common urban problems, such as drought stress, can increase borer attack and survival and may further complicate the search for resistant plant material. The objectives of this study were to examine the relative susceptibility of green (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and Manchurian (F. mandshurica) ash to EAB and indigenous borers and whether that susceptibility changed with drought stress. In a common garden experiment, EAB occurred more frequently and reached higher abundances in green than Manchurian ash. The frequency and abundance of bark beetles (Curculionidae), North American native clearwing borers (Sesiidae), and longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) were similar in the two ash species. Generation time of EAB was uniformly one year and did not depend on ash species or water stress. Although borers increased as expected in stressed trees, the relative susceptibility of green and Manchurian ash to borers did not change. The findings suggest Manchurian ash may be resistant to several classes of borers, regardless of insect geographic origin, although these conclusions should be viewed with some caution until the results can be verified in larger trees.
Preventing Death andTaxus: Review and Recommendations for ManagingTaxusin the Landscape with Overview onPhytophthora cinnamomi, Soil, and Nutrition Status
Authors: Taylor Matthew D. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractAt least three major gardens or arboreta in the USA have experienced periods of significant decline and death of matureTaxus(yews) in the landscape. The symptoms displayed on declining plants are described as chlorosis of the needles, partial defoliation, and death of some of the branches. Eventually, the entire plant may die, but they are typically removed before reaching this stage. Information on managing matureTaxusin the landscape is limited. The objective of this article is to review the literature onTaxuscultural practices and use the information to develop best management practices forTaxusin the landscape. Soil moisture is the most critical factor for health of plants in the landscape. Saturated soils create anaerobic conditions for roots and create an environment ideal for root infection byPhytophthora cinnamomi, the major root pathogen affectingTaxus. During planting, proper site selection and well-drained soil are crucial for the long-term survival of plants. After planting, irrigation should be managed to avoid saturated soil. Management from a nutritional standpoint is poorly understood. Maintaining an appropriate pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and fertilizing plants based on soil and tissue testing is recommended. More research needs to be done to determine optimal fertilization rates and appropriate nutrient concentration in tissue and in soil. When plants become symptomatic, soil should be tested forP. cinnamomi. If the fungus is present, appropriate chemical controls should be used.

Venice flooding and sea level: past evolution, present issues, and future projections (introduction to the special issue)
Authors: Lionello Piero , Nicholls Robert J. , Umgiesser Georg , Zanchettin Davide 
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Venice is an iconic place and a paradigm of huge historical and cultural values at risk. The frequency of the flooding of the city centre has dramatically increased in recent decades, and this threat is expected to continue to grow – and even accelerate – through this century. This special issue is a collection of three review articles addressing different and complementary aspects of the hazards causing the floods of Venice, namely (1) the relative sea level rise, (2) the occurrence of extreme water heights, and (3) the prediction of extreme water heights and floods. It emerges that the effect of compound events poses critical challenges to the forecast of floods, particularly from the perspective of effectively operating the new mobile barriers (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico – MoSE) in Venice and that the relative sea level rise is the key factor determining the future growth of the flood hazard, so that the present defence strategy is likely to become inadequate within this century under a high-emission scenario. Two strands of research are needed in the future. First, there is a need to better understand and reduce the uncertainty of the future evolution of the relative sea level and its extremes at Venice. However, this uncertainty might not be substantially reduced in the near future, reflecting the uncertain anthropogenic emissions and structural model features. Hence, complementary adaptive planning strategies appropriate for conditions of uncertainty should be explored and developed in the future.

Abstract. This paper reviews the state of the art in storm surge forecasting and its particular application in the northern Adriatic Sea. The city of Venice already depends on operational storm surge forecasting systems to warn the population and economy of imminent flood threats, as well as help to protect the extensive cultural heritage. This will be more important in the future, with the new mobile barriers called MOSE (MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, Experimental Electromechanical Module) that will be completed by 2021. The barriers will depend on accurate storm surge forecasting to control their operation. In this paper, the physics behind the flooding of Venice is discussed, and the state of the art of storm surge forecasting in Europe is reviewed. The challenges for the surge forecasting systems are analyzed, especially in view of uncertainty. This includes consideration of selected historic extreme events that were particularly difficult to forecast. Four potential improvements are identified: (1) improve meteorological forecasts, (2) develop ensemble forecasting, (3) assimilation of water level measurements and (4) develop a multimodel approach.
Oficina Virtual de Construção de Tambor Afro-brasileiro:
Authors: MIRANDA JAIME RODRIGO DA SILVA 
Published: September 2021

Este artigo discute a realização da Oficina Virtual de Construção de Tambores Afrobrasileiros como um processo arte-educativo de afirmação da ancestralidade africana em nosso país, ante um cenário político em que racismo e discriminação contra o povo negro ainda se constituem práticas cotidianas. Considerando que várias formas de opressão a afrodescendentes estão na base funcional de nossa estrutura social, aspectos ligados à ideologia da miscigenação e aspectos vinculados à hegemonia do cristianismo ocidental são problematizados em relação ao racismo institucional e estrutural da sociedade brasileira. Sendo o Brasil a maior população católica e segunda população cristã do planeta, a valorização da inter-religiosidade e das experiências não hegemônicas produzidas no chão da história se tornam relevantes instrumentos a favor de oprimidos, tendo-se nos princípios da Teologia Negra um patamar referencial. A ancestralidade espiritual e musical afro-brasileira é abordada como forte afirmação deste caminho decolonial, sobre o qual os tambores em suas várias formas e linguagens são vozes poderosas. Por fim, traz-se uma descrição do processo artesanal de construção de um rústico instrumento percussivo e de sua conversão na oficina, em tempos estranhos de isolamento e intensificação de virtualidades.
El oficio de la sospecha

Published: September 2021

El propósito de esta investigación es conocer y analizar los sentidos que los policías que se dedican al patrullaje en Montevideo construyen sobre las intervenciones policiales que involucran a jóvenes pobres. El trabajo fue planteado desde un abordaje metodológico cualitativo; más específicamente, la investigación fue realizada a través de entrevistas a policías. De esta forma, el trabajo presenta una novedad con respecto a los antecedentes a nivel nacional, ya que en Uruguay no existen investigaciones que aborden esta temática desde la percepción de los funcionarios policiales.
La formación policial es una instancia clave de socialización de los funcionarios policiales. Sin embargo, el proceso de aprendizaje de los policías excede al periodo de instrucción formal en la Escuela Nacional de Policía. Es en la praxis de su trabajo dónde incorporan algunas de las herramientas que utilizan cotidianamente. Por este motivo, para analizar las intervenciones policiales que involucran a jóvenes pobres intentaremos conocer los saberes que ponen en juego en las mismas.
