The Media's influence on the validity of medical information regarding Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Korukonda Samhita , Pantula Hiranmayi 
Published: July 2021

This article aims to statistically analyze misinformation regarding dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on the internet and discuss common trends amongst falsities. The internet is the most common source of medical information and is largely used by the general public to seek information about a condition/treatment. Dementia is one of the most searched conditions across online platforms. AD is the most common cause of dementia in the US and accounts for 75% of dementia cases. As the prevalence of AD increases, more patients turn to the media to seek information about its implications and treatments. With the increasingly important role that media plays in the field of medicine, families need to be aware of potential sources of misinformation. This paper analyzes one hundred total sources, then categorizes each source into one of three groups (with varying degrees of falsities): misleading, partially misleading, and reliable. The sources were collected using the keywords “Alzheimer’s disease” and included 50 videos from YouTube and 25 recommended sources from Google and Firefox respectively (Google and Firefox are some of the most used web browsers in the USA). Subsequently, a misinformed source was thematically classified based on the type of misinformation found. To verify results, all sources were reviewed by a senior geropsychiatric consultant from London, who specializes in dementia care/treatment. [Further elaborated in ‘methods’ section]

The results indicate that there is systematic misinformation on the internet. It highlights the importance of patient awareness towards this issue. On this basis, it should be recommended that provider’s offices alert their patients of this problem.
Testing a New Approach to Quantify Growth Responses to Pruning Among Three Temperate Tree Species
Authors: Follett Matt , Nock Charles A. , Buteau Christian , Messier Christian 
Published: July 2021

AbstractIn settled areas, electrical line safety is maintained by pruning encroaching trees. Identifying key predictors of branch elongation growth rate following pruning would assist in developing predictive models and optimizing pruning cycles. However, measuring branches in trees near electrical lines is complex and challenging. This paper describes an innovative approach using a handheld laser rangefinder to safely and accurately estimate growth from the ground. In-tree and ground-based laser measurements were highly correlated. This was followed by testing for correlations between branch growth response over a number of years after pruning and many biotic and abiotic factors forFraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer platanoides, andAcer saccharinum, in the city of Montréal, Canada. In a sample of 59 trees,A. saccharinumhad the greatest branch growth, followed byF. pennsylvanica, and finallyA. platanoides. Branch growth increased following pruning and subsequently strongly declined, withA. platanoidesdeclining the fastest. Branch inclination angle was positively correlated with growth rate for two species, but not forA. saccharinum. Among the types of pruning used, directional pruning techniques resulted in the least branch regrowth rate. Tree diameter was weakly related to branch growth rates. These results suggest that while growth conditions for street trees may be perceived as homogenous, there is substantial variation in branch growth response. This variation may be related to pruning history, or unmeasured abiotic or biotic variables. Estimating pruning cycle duration is a complex task and further work is needed to develop a predictive model for more accurate estimation of return times.
Effect of Mulching with Compost on Growth and Physiology ofUlmus‘FL634’ Planted in an Urban Park
Authors: Fini Alessio , Degl’Innocenti Ciro , Ferrini Francesco 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe effects of mixed compost as mulching material on growth and physiology of newly planted elm trees were evaluated over a three-year period after planting in an urban park. Trees mulched with compost generally had greater height (+10% and +19% for 5 cm layer and 10 cm layer treatments, respectively, if compared to control), trunk diameter (+13% and +29%), and current-year shoot growth (+46% and +56%). Limited effects were found with regard to carbon assimilation when considered on a per unit-leaf-area basis (−0.1% and +0.3%), but whole tree carbon assimilation increased in mulched trees (+7% and +59% for 5 cm and 10 cm treatments, respectively, if compared to control) because of the larger total tree leaf area of mulched plants. Mulching also increased chlorophyll content (+4% and +7% for 5 cm and 10 cm treatments, respectively). The results obtained in this study show how mulching with compost increased growth, carbon storage, and improved water use efficiency of trees planted in an urban environment characterized by hot dry summers.
Inspection and Evaluation of Decay Damage in Japanese Cedar Trees Through Nondestructive Techniques
Authors: Lin Cheng-Jung , Lee Chia-Ju , Tsai Ming-Jer 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the standard values of living, undamaged Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) trees through different nondestructive techniques. This study also detects the stress wave velocity (V) and tomogram (VT), and resolves corresponding V maps of Japanese cedar trees with and without decay damage for tree risk assessment. A visual tree inspection form, with seven categories of tree damage, is proposed for tree hazard assessment. Different nondestructive evaluation parameters can serve as an index for diagnosing standard values (with or without decay). The VT and corresponding stress wave velocity maps of decay-damaged and damaged Japanese cedar trees can detect the general location and area of wood deterioration. The transversal acoustic velocity values increased with increasing diameter in undamaged trees, and the difference between the maximum and minimum V value of the trunks in undamaged trees fell within a range of constants. The proposed approach can be combined with other non-destructive techniques to better examine and confirm the situation of trees.
A systematic review of research on Tactical Periodization: absence of empirical data, burden of proof, and benefit of doubt
Authors: Afonso José , Bessa Cristiana , Nikolaidis Pantelis T. , Teoldo Israel , Clemente Filipe Manuel 
Published: July 2021

PurposeTactical Periodization was developed as an alternative paradigm to periodization. The principles established by its proponents seem theoretically reasonable and well adjusted to competitive sports, especially team sports with year-long competitions, and are quickly becoming popular in sports such as soccer, rugby, and tennis. There are valid arguments in
favour of Tactical Periodization, but in science the burden of proof falls on the shoulders of the proponents. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to systematically review articles focusing on Tactical Periodization published in peer-reviewed journals.Material and methodsThe research involved original experimental articles assessing Tactical Periodization in any sport, published in English or Portuguese.ResultsAlthough Tactical Periodization is an interesting theoretical concept and is currently popular, no empirical research on the subject was found. For that reason, it is premature to scientifically support this periodization model.ConclusionsThe benefit of doubt can be temporarily conceded but Tactical Periodization was created more than 20 years ago. Therefore, it must be properly tested if it aims to be an alternative to current periodized models.

Authors: De Siqueira Everton Antonio Marcelino , Da Rocha Willian Fernando Porto , Forno Letícia Fleig Dal , Macuch Regiane Da Silva 
Published: July 2021

A mediação artística como meio de expressão do conhecimento pode ser estratégia de discussão sobre questões sociais no contexto escolar. Nesta perspectiva, realizou-se estudo de revisão bibliográfica descritiva com objetivo de analisar o Rap enquanto expressão artístico-musical na escola. Os estudos desvelam que o Rap pode influenciar na formação da identidade do sujeito, principalmente nos espaços periféricos, com potencial de organizar sentimentos, emoções e formular discursos socialmente engajados. Para que essa possibilidade ocorra faz-se necessário reconhecer o Rap no espaço escolar como afloramento de expressão social, conhecimento e narrativa biográfica.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as concepções de trabalho docente e formação de professores nos documentos oficiais do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência – PIBID, entre o segundo governo Lula (2007-2010) e os governos Dilma (2011-2016). Utilizamos como estratégia teórico-metodológica o enfoque da dialética materialista histórica e a abordagem qualitativa hermenêutica-dialética. Através da análise de conteúdo concluímos que as concepções de trabalho docente e formação de professores expressas nos relatórios do PIBID são orientadas pelas teorias “do profissionalismo”, “produtivista” e “da responsabilização” e pelas pedagogias “do professor reflexivo”, “das competências” e “do aprender a aprender”. AbstractThe objective of this article is to analyze the conceptions of teacher work and teacher training in the official documents of the Institutional Program of Initiatives for Teaching - PIBID, between the second Lula government (2007-2010) and the Dilma governments (2011-2016) . We use as theoretical methodological strategy the approach of the historical materialist dialectic and the qualitative hermeneutic-dialectic approach. Through content analysis, we conclude that the conceptions of teacher work and teacher education expressed in the PIBID reports are guided by the theories of “professionalism”, “productivist”, “accountability” and pedagogies “reflective teacher” and “learning to learn”.

Aplicativo de Corrida Compartilhada como Infraestrutura: Por uma Nova Forma de Compreender a Circulação de Pessoas
Authors: Prado Álvaro Tavares 
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo visa analisar como as infraestruturas dos aplicativos de corrida compartilhada permitem um tipo específico de movimento pela malha urbana. Assim, através de uma revisitação de como a questão da infraestrutura se faz presente em alguns trabalhos da Antropologia Urbana, discuto como a infraestrutura dos aplicativos colocam uma série de novas questões para a compreensão da mobilidade (como a ideia de que os motoristas por aplicativo, imersos em uma situação de precariedade, se movem de forma alienada pela cidade) que em muito transbordam as análises prévias sobre esta temática. Ademais, a partir de um específico contexto etnográfico, mostro como uma perspectiva a partir das cidades do sul global pode levantar novas questões acerca da contraditória relação entre os motoristas e os aplicativos de corrida que os interpelam. Por fim, sugiro que a dinâmica de distribuição de informações dessas infraestruturas vai na contramão de uma vivência democrática da cidade. Shared ride app as infrastructure: for a new way of comprehend the circulation of peopleAbstract: This article aims to analyze how the infrastructures of shared running applications allow a specific type of movement through the urban network. So, through a revisit of how the issue of infrastructure is present in some works in Urban Anthropology, I discuss how application infrastructure poses a series of new questions for understanding mobility (such as the idea that ride-sharing drivers, immersed in a precarious situation, move in an alienated way through the city) that overflow the previous analysis on this subject. Furthermore, from a specific ethnographic context, I show how a perspective from cities in the global south can raise new questions about the contradictory relationship between drivers and the racing apps that challenge them. Finally, I suggest that the information distribution dynamics of these infrastructures go against a democratic experience of the city.Keywords: Infrastructure; Mobility; Precariousness; Global South
Conditions of External Military Interventions in African Internal Conflicts: Complexity of Conflict Intensity, Social Dislocation and Raw Materials
Authors: Schmiedl Martin , Prouza Jan 
Published: July 2021

External interventions are one of the most important aspects of intrastate conflicts since a majority of them are significantly internationalised, especially in Africa where the interventions most often occur. Factors that lead to the military intervention remain, however, puzzling. The authors therefore apply the method of fs/QCA to understand not only conditionsbehind intervention into African intrastate conflicts, but also to catch interactions among them. The results show high complexity of various possible combinations, mainly of high intensity, massive social dislocation or presence of raw materials in case of interventions in African internal conflicts

A Gestalt, enquanto abordagem conceitual e psicológica traz com cientificidade, leveza e arte, uma perspectiva amplificada de homem e de mundo, resgatando o todo existencial de cada ser e, pessoalmente, me desafia a (re) descobrir, a (re) aprender, a olhar com a noção de suficiência para o agora que me presenteia os recursos necessários para que eu seja. Mais que fundamentar à prática clínica, a GT traduz-se como uma filosofia do encontro, do contato e da responsabilidade pessoal. É nesse resgate de SER que a essência deste trabalho está constituída: A clínica ampliada e seus fenômenos contextualizados à experiência individual, especialmente, na construção das versões de sentido, entrelaçando os conceitos e toda a fundamentação teórica estudada com o aprofundamento das atividades vivenciais.
Improving the Representation of Aggregation in a Two-moment Microphysical Scheme with Statistics of Multi-frequency Doppler Radar Observations
Authors: Karrer Markus , Seifert Axel , Ori Davide , Kneifel Stefan 
Published: July 2021

Abstract. The simulation of aggregation of ice particles is critical for precipitation prediction, but still a major challenge. Its simulation requires assumptions about numerous parameters, many of which are either not well known or difficult to represent accurately in bulk microphysics schemes. However, knowing the sensitivity of aggregation to various simplified assumptions can help to identify critical parameters. By comparison with suitable observations, these critical parameters can even be constrained. We investigate the sensitivity of the model variables, and the modeled multi-frequency and Doppler radar observables to different parameters in a two-moment microphysics scheme. Therefore, we revise hydrometeor parameters by using a recently published dataset of particle properties, modify the formulations of the aggregation process (which allows using an area-based differential sedimentation kernel) and update other ice microphysical parameters in the scheme such as the sticking efficiency Estick and the shape of the size distribution. Overall, particle properties, definition of the aggregation kernel, and size distribution width prove to be most important, while Estick and the cloud ice habit have less influence. Finally, we run multi-week simulations with the most promising parameter combinations. The statistical comparison between real and synthetic observables shows a reduction in the velocity and snow particle size. With this study, we show a possible way to revise processes in microphysical schemes by using statistics of detailed cloud radar observations.

La construcción de la identidad a través del arte en personas en riesgo de exclusión social
Authors: Cara Cristina Berruezo , Morón Velasco Mar 
Published: July 2021

Este artículo recoge la investigación que pretende estudiar el impacto del arte en la construcción de la identidad de los individuos y, concretamente, de aquellos que se ubican en colectivos en riesgo de exclusión social. Para alcanzar este objetivo se sigue una investigación etnográfica mediante la entrevista semiestructurada en profundidad a artistas que pertenecen a diferentes colectivos en riesgo de exclusión social.
Después de realizar esta investigación, se han podido comprobar los beneficios que realmente aporta el arte y la educación artística. Beneficios que, además, se ven acentuados en el caso de las personas que forman parte de algún colectivo en riesgo de exclusión social, ya que el arte les supone un medio de expresión, de autoconocimiento, autodeterminación y empoderamiento, un mecanismo de reivindicación y, en definitiva, un arma política y social. Además, se ha visto como la relación con el arte les otorga reconocimiento y amplía los vínculos socio-afectivos a través de la flexibilidad y la comprensión de diferentes puntos de vista y la asociación en diferentes grupos de pertenencia. También permite que personas vulnerables a la exclusión social acaben formando parte de la sociedad que le reconoce su talento y valora su obra por encima de sus características personales. Por lo tanto, se hace patente la importancia de que la educación artística forme parte del currículo de Educación Primaria como herramienta que favorece la inclusión educativa y social.
The US-Taliban Agreement
Authors: Mohmand Abdul Qayum 
Published: July 2021

The current peace agreement is not a receipe for peace in Afghanistan, but it is a start. The Afghan government was excluded from the initial peace negotiations in Qatar, but the outcome provides some leverage not only to the United States, and the Taliban, but also the Afghan Government. The term intra-Afghan is not defined in the agreement, therefore, both the Afghan Government and the Taliban can use it to their advantage.
