Relevance. The most important element of the operational regime of irrigation is the correct (timely) appointment and timing of irrigation, taking into account the biological characteristics of crops, weather conditions and the mechanical composition of the soil.Methods. In this work, the results of the calculation of the irrigation regime of the hay-pasture grass mixture for the growing season april-october 2016-2018 were presented, on the basis of which the values of the water consumption of the crop, the average values of bioclimatic and biothermal coefficients in relation to sod-podzolic loamy soils in the northeastern zones of the Republic of Belarus. The calculations were carried out by the water balance method, as well as by the method of maximum daily air temperatures.Results. As a result of calculating bioclimatic and biothermal coefficients and values of water consumption for the growing seasons. It was found that their highest values in all years of research were recorded in the variant with a pre-irrigation humidity level of 80% of the lowest moisture capacity, while their lowest values were observed in the variant with natural humidification. At the same time, as a result of calculations, it was established that the highest values of bioclimatic coefficients corresponding to the variant 80% of HB took the following values: 0.88; 0.72 and 0.66, the smallest are 0.71; 0.64 and 0.50, and the largest values of the biothermal coefficients were: 0.13; 0.15 and 0.15, the smallest are 0.09; 0.13 and 0.10, respectively, for the growing seasons. The largest values of water consumption, calculated by the water balance method, corresponding to the option 80% of the HB took the following values: 423.0; 462.0 and 440.0 mm, the smallest in this case were: 334.0; 404.0; and 331.0 mm, and the highest values of water consumption, calculated by the method of maximum daily temperatures were: 439.4; 420.0 and 432.2, while the smallest were equal: 318.7, 396.4 and 325.7 mm, respectively, for the growing seasons.

AbstractGerman manufacturing firms’ industrial system is widely known as Diversified Quality Production, a product strategy which applies the techniques of volume production to high quality product lines (STREECK, 1997). It is a differentiation instead of a cost-driven competitive strategy. The DQP system is supported by a wide and dense mesh of institutions promoting ‘strategic’ interaction between firms and other actors. However, the transition to Industrie 4.0 demands knowledge intensive ICT which can hamper the innovative potential from Mittelstand. Employment in high and medium-tech manufacturing, ICT share in the GDP and hightech exports are virtually stagnated over the last decade and the industrial policy should heed these early signals. The conundrum faced by Germany is to what extent changes in manufacturing will also require changing the institutions which supported its successful innovation manufacturing model centred on Diversified Quality Production.ResumoO sucesso das empresas médias alemãs é amplamente conhecido como Produção com Qualidade Diversificada (PQD), uma estratégia de produto que aplica as técnicas de produção em escala às linhas de produtos de alta qualidade (STREECK, 1997). A ênfase é na diferenciação ao invés de uma estratégia competitiva baseada em custos. A PQD é apoiada por rede de instituições que promovem a interação “estratégica” entre empresas e outros atores. No entanto, a transição para a Indústria 4.0 exige um conhecimento intensivo de TIC que pode dificultar o potencial inovador da Mittelstand. O emprego na manufatura de alta e média tecnologia, a participação das TIC no PIB e as exportações de alta tecnologia estão estagnadas na última década e a política industrial deve estar atenta a estes sinais. Até que ponto as mudanças na manufatura na Alemanha também exigirão mudanças nas instituições que apoiaram seu modelo inovador bem sucedido da PQD.
FORJANDO A POLÍTICA AUTOMOTIVA BRASILEIRA: INCUMBENTES E DESAFIANTES NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO PROGRAMA INOVAR-AUTO<br/><br/>FORGING BRAZILIAN AUTOMOTIVE POLICY: INCUMBENTS AND CHALLENGERS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INOVAR-AUTO PROGRAM

O artigo analisa a construção do Programa Inovar-Auto, política industrial brasileira cunhada com o propósito de incrementar os investimentos em pesquisa, desenvolvimento e engenharia na indústria automotiva. A discussão tem como finalidade contribuir para demarcar as estratégias corporativas dos grupos automobilísticos, indicando como as políticas industriais para o setor são moldadas sob medida, a fim de proteger os interesses das empresas há mais tempo em atuação no Brasil. O Inovar-Auto, por hipótese, resulta de processos sociais responsáveis por estruturar as relações entre organizações incumbentes e desafiantes em disputa no mercado automotivo. Em outros termos, o seu surgimento se deve à queda de preços decorrente da entrada de firmas desafiantes no mercado nacional, e da resposta dada pelas firmas incumbentes ao aumento da competição através do reforço de regras, leis de proteção e demais formas de poder capazes de impedir qualquer movimento de transformação dessa ordem econômica e social.AbstractThis paper analyses the construction of the Inovar-Auto programme, a Brazilian industrial policy devised with the goal of boosting investment in research, development and engineering in the automotive industry. The purpose of this discussion is that of contributing to define the corporate strategies of industrial groups in the automotive industry, showing how the industrial policies for the sector are carved out to measure, in order to protect the interests of those companies that have been in Brazil the longest. Inovar-Auto could possibly have resulted from social processes responsible for structuring the relationships between incumbent organisations and challengers within the automotive market. In other words, its appearance is due to the fall in prices resulting from the entry of new challengers onto the national market, and the response given by the incumbent companies to the increased competition, through reinforcement of rules, laws for protection, and other ways of being able to prevent any movement for the transformation of the economic and social order.

Lutte intégrée contre les parasitoses animales tropicales
Authors: Uilenberg Gerrit 
Published: May 2021

Dans le passé, la lutte contre les parasites était essentiellement basée sur l'utilisation de médicaments et de pesticides. La tendance actuelle est vers une approche plus flexible, intégrant divers autres moyens de combattre ces pathologies. Les raisons principales de cette évolution sont les suivantes :
- apparition de résistances des parasites aux composés utilisés ;
- ralentissement du développement de nouveaux composés pour compenser ce phénomène de résistance (réglementation de plus en plus stricte sur la toxicité et les résidus) ;
- accroissement des coûts des nouveaux produits pour l'utilisateur ;
- problèmes liés à la toxicité, à la pollution de l'environnement et aux résidus dans les produits d'origine animale.
La gestion intégrée des moyens de lutte contre les parasites utilise, dans la mesure du possible, la lutte biologique et mécanique, la résistance acquise et innée de l'hôte du parasite, ainsi que des procédures mécaniques, sanitaires et réglementaires, même si la lutte chimique ne peut que rarement être complètement abolie.
Learning Model During Long Distance Learning
Authors: Sihaloho Fahmi Ashari S. 
Published: May 2021

Online Distance Learning (ODL) is carried out because of the Covid-19 pandemic conditions which require people to carry out social distancing to reduce the risk of transmission. However, in the learning process, it still requires a learning model as a learning guide to achieve learning objectives so that students can achieve the desired competencies. In the 2013 curriculum, there are 3 learning models offered, namely Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning and Discovery Learning. This research is a descriptive qualitative study that uses articles as data sources which are then compared as the author's ideas in terms of learning models in the ODL period. The results of this study indicate that the learning model offered in the 2013 Curriculum can still be used in online PJJ. However, it still has to be equipped with supporting tools and media so that the learning process can be carried out smoothly according to what has been planned
Open Reduction of a Fracture-Dislocation of the Shoulder in an 11-Month-Old Child
Authors: Young Joseph R. , Mantica Abigail L. 
Published: May 2021

Case:
An 11-month-old boy was brought to the emergency department because he was refusing to use his right arm. X-rays demonstrated an anteroinferior Salter-Harris I fracture-dislocation of the proximal humeral epiphysis. Closed reduction with sedation was unsuccessful, so open reduction under general anesthesia was pursued. At 2 years, the patient has made a full recovery.

Conclusion:
Pediatric shoulder fracture-dislocations are rare. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for nonaccidental trauma when evaluating such injuries. When this injury is encountered in patients younger than 1 year, open reduction of the proximal humeral epiphysis can be a successful treatment option.
Laterally accreting sinuous channels and their deposits: The Goldilocks of deep-water slope systems

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACTChannels with a sinuous planform are common in both continental and deep-marine environments on Earth, and similarly in high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. Whereas common in rivers, continuous lateral channel migration and point-bar deposition appear to be much less common in the deep sea. In the bends of rivers, near-bed flow driving point bar growth results from a cross-flow superelevation of the water surface that sets up a lateral hydrostatic pressure gradient driving an inward-directed flow near the bed. However, in deep-marine systems the surface between the turbidity current and overlying ambient fluid sits well above the channel margins, and therefore precludes a similar lateral superelevation of the current top. Here it is argued that the cross-flow component is related to a density gradient that mimics the effect of the hydrostatic pressure gradient in rivers, and develops as coarse suspended particles that experience little uplift, and therefore negligible overspill, become concentrated along the outer bank. This condition develops best in a two-part suspension made up of a highly concentrated, unstratified basal plug of coarse sediment overlain sharply by a dilute cloud of much finer sediment—a density structure that differs from the more typical upward exponential decrease in density. The abundance of coarse and fine sand, but depletion in the intermediate grain size fraction, is related to transgressive shelf processes and its influence on sediment supplied to the system, and in turn, the flow structure of the current. It is under these seemingly uncommon granulometric conditions that continuous laterally migrating channels, and accordingly, riverine-like point-bar deposition, is most common in the deep sea.
Role of microbial mats and high sedimentation rates in the early burial and preservation of footprints in a siliciclastic tidal flat
Authors: Cuadrado Diana G. , Maisano Lucía , Quijada I. Emma 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
Sedimentary processes in a microbial flat, developed in a progradational environment and trampled by vertebrates, were monitored under varying energy conditions. A vertebrate footprint made on the sedimentary surface was selected and was kept under observation for two years visited on nine field trips. Thus, this contribution provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of a microbial tidal flat with high-sediment-flux events and contributes to a better understanding of the sedimentary processes involved in the preservation of a true track. This study demonstrates that the formation of biolaminites (sequence of microbial mats interbedded with sand layers) in the coastal environment is caused by episodic pulses in the hydrodynamic regime of the area. Through the detailed inspection of a cross section of a sedimentary block containing the vertebrate footprint, the sedimentation history since the footprint creation is unravelled in relation to hydrodynamic records. Water energy was inferred using the measurements of a water-level sensor located on the tidal flat recording continuously every 10 minutes. The results indicate that the seawater enters into the zone by floods that occur during storm surges, reaching up to 70 cm height in the water column, and transporting abundant sediment, which produces the deposition of flat sand layers or sand ripples on the microbial mats. A sedimentation rate of 0.32 to 0.41 cm per year was calculated along the two-years monitoring. The study recognizes the plastic behavior of the microbial mat, one of their most important rheological properties, as a response to the registration of a vertebrate footprint. Petrographic analysis of microbial-mat layers reveals the precipitation of thin carbonate laminae during periods of seawater evaporation, which may enhance the preservation of sediments. Episodic sediment transport, in addition to the presence of a microbial-mat, creates the perfect conditions for formation, early burial, and preservation of the footprint in siliciclastic sediments.
The Variation of Air Purification Benefit Provided by Street Tree Assemblages in Shenyang, China

Abstract
Street tree assemblages are a widespread natural component in cities and provide a range of ecosystem services. The spatial distribution of street tree assemblages within cities, however, is not uniform. We assessed the air purification benefits provided by street trees in Shenyang, China, to examine how urban form, urban geography and drivers of vegetation management affect this ecosystem service. The i-Tree Street Model was utilized to evaluate air purification benefits provided by street trees. We analyzed the results using two indices, with values expressed in US dollars (USD, $): the per kilometer benefit (PKB) and average tree benefit (ATB). Neither index displayed a consistent trend across the human population density gradient or along the urban-suburban continuum. The district with the highest PKB and ATB is neither the oldest nor the newest one to develop, but rather the one that began to develop around 2002. We conclude that public policy is a main driver of vegetation management, especially for street trees, because street tree abundance is closely related to road construction, which, in turn, is closely tied to economic development in a region. We also discovered no significant difference in the benefit of street tree assemblages along the urban-suburban continuum. That's probably because all areas within the different beltways contain mature street trees, the time-lag effect for growth is inconsequential. We recommend that the dynamic variations of street tree assemblages over a certain time span be taken into consideration when examining the effects of urban sprawl on ecosystem services provided by street tree assemblages.

Abstract
Background: The treatment of esophageal cancer is mainly based on a combination of traditional surgery and radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Some new progress has been made in multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment and imaging diagnosis in recent years, but the 5-year survival rate for esophageal cancer is much lower than 30% due to its invasiveness and pronounced metastasis ability, as well as the difficulty in early diagnosis. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of UBE2C in ESCC.Methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the UBE2C expression in ESCC by collecting the protein and mRNA expression data (including in house RNA- seq, in hosue IHC, TCGA-GTEx RNA-seq and tissue microarray) to calculate a combined SMD and sROC. K-M method was used for survival analysis. We also explored the mechanism of UBE2C in ESCC by combing the DEGs of ESCC, related-genes of UBE2C in ESCC and the putative miRNAs and lncRNAs which may regulate UBE2C.Results: UBE2C protein and mRNA were highly expressed in ESCC tissues. The pooled SMD of UBE2C expression values was 1.98 (95% CI: 1.51–2.45, P < 0.001), and the the AUC of the sROC was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90–0.95). The results of survival analysis suggested an association between high expression of UBE2C and a poor prognosis and a higher risk of recurrence. Pathways anaylsis showed that UBE2C mainly influenced the biological function of esophageal cancer by synergistic effects with CDK1, PTTG1 and SKP2. We also constructed a potential UBE2C-related ceRNA network for ESCC (HCP5/hsa-mir-139-5p/UBE2C).Conclusion: UBE2C mRNA and protein level were highly expressed in ESCC and a higher UBE2C expression generally predicts a lower survival rate and a higher risk of recurrence.

Abstract
Background: This study aim to evaluate surgical procedures for titanium plate internal fixation of costal cartilage fractures with displacement or nonunion. Methods: From January 2019 to October 2020, 13 patients with costal cartilage fractures were treated with titanium plate internal fixation in the thoracic surgery department of the Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital. Pain severity scale scores and respiratory function were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively. All the patients had a 6-month follow-up for treatment evaluation. Results: The mean hospital length of stay was 10.7 days. A statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was found between preoperative and postoperative pain severity scores( 7.69 vs. 5.00). VC (24.6% vs. 44.5%) and FEV1 (25.3% vs. 44.0%) were also significantly different before operation and after operation (P<0.05). At follow-up, healing of the nonunion or fracture was confirmed in all the cases. Conclusion: The rigid titanium plate application ensured a safe and easy management of costal cartilage fractures and nonunion with a good prognosis as compared with other methods.

Published: May 2021

Abstract
In the present study, transgenic cry1Ac-APX plants were developed in popular rice variety, BPT 5204, employing Agrobacterium LBA4404 harbouring pcam-cry1Ac-APX vector. The transgenic plants generated were analysed based on herbicide (Basta) toleranceand molecular analyses. Seeds of T1 generation when germinated on MS medium containing 4 mg/l phosphinothricin (ppt) revealed 3 tolerant: 1 susceptible plants suggesting that the trangenes showed monogenic segregation. Homozygous lines were identified by 100% germination of T3 seed on PPT containing media. Abiotic stress assays of analysis cry1Ac-APX transgenic lines showed enhanced chlorophyll, proline and reducing sugars compared to untransformed control plants. The antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT showed significantly higher levels in transgenic lines than UC.RT- PCR analyses revelled increased expression levels of drought related genes OsDREB, OsMYB and bZIP under both stressed and without stress conditions. Further, the pcam-cry1Ac-APX lines exhibited enhanced biomass and yield than UC.

Abstract
IntroductionInfective endocarditis represents a surgical challenge associated with perioperative mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictors of operative mortality and long-term outcomes in high-risk patients.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 123 patients operated on for infective endocarditis from January 2011 to December 2020. Logistic regression model was used to identify prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality. Long term follow-up was made to asses late prognosis.ResultsPreoperative renal failure, an elevation of all types of EuroSCORE (EuroSCORE I, II and logistic) and prior aortic valve re-replacement were found to be preoperative risk factors significantly associated with mortality. In-hospital mortality was 27% in patients who had previously undergone aortic valve replacement (n = 4 out of 15 operated, p = 0.01). Patients who were operated on during the active phase of infective endocarditis showed a higher mortality rate than those operated on after the acute phase (16% versus 0%; p = 0.02). The type of prosthesis used (biological or mechanical) was not associated with mortality, whereas cross-clamp time significantly correlated with mortality (mean cross-clamp time 135±65 min in dead patients versus 76±32 min in surviving patients; p = 0.0005). Mean follow up was 57.94±30.9 months. Twelve patients died (11.65%). Among the twelve mortalities, five were adjudicated to cardiac causes and seven were non-cardiac (two cancers, one traumatic accident, one cerebral hemorrhage, two bronchopneumonia, one peritonitis).Overall survival probability (freedom from death, all causes) at 3, 5, 7 and 8 years was 98.9% (95% CI: 97%-100%), 96% (95% CI: 92%-100%), 85.9% (95% CI: 76%-97%), and 74% (95% CI: 60%-91%) respectively.Conclusion Our study demonstrates that an early surgical approach may represent a valuable treatment option for high-risk patients with infective endocarditis, also in case of prosthetic valve endocarditis. Although several risk factors are associated with higher mortality, no patient subset is inoperable. These findings can be helpful to inform decision-making in heart team discussion.
