Counting and Capturing Crocodilians
Authors: Cherkiss Michael S. , Fling Holly E. , Mazzotti Frank J. , Rice Kenneth G. 
Published: May 2021

With few exceptions, crocodilians must be counted and caught for studies of their ecology. Most methods of finding and catching crocodilians in use today are modifications of methods for harvesting crocodilians (Chabreck 1963; Jones 1966). These methods have been adapted to suit the target species, or local habitat conditions and to minimize risk of injury to the crocodile and the investigator (Webb and Messel 1977; Hutton et al.1987; Walsh 1987; McDaniel and Hord 1990). Any particular situation will likely require innovations on methods used by others.

Tropical Hardwood Hammocks in Florida
Authors: Karim Annisa , Main Martin B. 
Published: May 2021

Tropical hardwood hammocks are one of many natural communities found in Florida, but one of the few that are characterized by tropical plants. The word “hammock” was first used by early inhabitants to mean a cool and shady place. Later, settlers of Florida used the word “hummock” to indicate areas that were slightly higher in elevation from the rest of the land. Today, the term hammock is used in Florida to describe forest habitats that are typically higher in elevation than surrounding areas and that are characterized by hardwood forests of broad-leaved evergreens. Tropical hardwood hammocks occur in south Florida and along the Florida coastlines where danger from frost is rare and tropical trees and shrubs common to the Caribbean islands (West Indian origin) are able to survive.

Weed Management in Clover -- 2005
Authors: Ferrell Jason A. 
Published: May 2021

Cool-season clovers are important for grazing systems in Florida. Clover provides grazing flexibility during winter and spring while warm-season grasses/forages are dormant. Weeds are problematic in clover fields and weed control can be more challenging because clover plants are sensitive to many pasture herbicides. There are also fewer herbicide products registered for use on clover compared to other forage species, so chemical weed control programs have to be chosen carefully. Table 1 provides information on herbicides that can be applied for weed control in clover production systems.

TO COMPARE THE GROWTH IN VARIOUS ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS LEADING TO SHORT STATURE IN THE PAEDIATRIC POPULATION IN THE AGE GROUP BETWEEN 1-15 YEARS.
Authors: Uikey Deepak Kumar , Patel Umesh , Singh Sanjay 
Published: May 2021

Background & Method: Growth is a continuous biological process subject to genetic, environmental, nutritional and hormonal influences. Altered growth potential may result from disturbance of any of these factors. Short stature, a common problem in the child population of developing countries. The present study was carried out in RKDF Medical College and Research Centre, Bhopal, M.P. This is a Prospective Cross Sectional study performed on All Children (Age 1-15 Years) Presenting to Out Patient Department. 151 cases were found to have short stature. These children were further evaluated for short stature.
Result: Type of short stature Proportionate short stature is more common (92.7 %) than disproportionate short stature (7.3%) in our study. Shows etiology wise distribution of proportionate short stature, Systemic disease leads the table with 45 %, followed by normal variant 37 %, endocrinal cause 15.8 % and genetic 2%. Chi square test revealed p value of 0.254 (<0.05) which is not significant. Shows various etiology of disproportionate short stature. Skeletal deformity due to rickets is most common being 55% followed by achondroplasia 27 %, TB spine 1 child (9%) and perthes disease 1 Child (9 %).
Conclusion: It is important to use appropriate growth charts and monitor growth velocity in a child with short stature and all school going children Conducting school health checkups maintaining proper school records of height and weight and counseling parents can help treating physicians to refer selected children and adolescents for further evaluation to specialist clinics. The shortcomings of this study include failure to calculate and plot growth velocity which requires a regular follow-up at six months to twelve months interval, which was not possible in this cross-sectional study. Secondly, it was a hospital based study where patients of chronic systemic diseases and critical illnesses are referred. Thirdly, the hospital is situated in an urban slum area so the majority of the patients belong to low socio-economic status with malnutrition being very common among them.

Published: May 2021

Objective: Tropical Milking Calf (LT) growth and milk consumption and chemical composition were analyzed in two shepherding systems.
Methodology: 26 LT cows were used in rotational shepherding in monoculture (PRM) and intensive silvopastoral system (SSPi). Cows were milked by hand once per day in the morning with the presence of the calf, which consumed milk from one nipple. Live weight (PV), daily weight gain (GDP), milk consumption (CL) by the calf and the chemical composition of the milk were studied.
Results: PV was greater at 198 days in SSPi (p ? 0.05) with 142.6 ± 3.31 kg, and one GDP that outweighed the PRM (p ? 0.05) in 80 g per day-1. There were no differences in CL (p > 0.05). Non-fatty solids, protein, lactose and total solids were greater (p ? 0.05) for SSPi with 8.1 ± 0.07, 3.0 ± 0.02, 4.5 ± 0.04 and 12.1 ± 0.21 %, respectively; although fat was similar (3.7 and 3.3 %, p > 0.05) in both systems.
Implication: The chemical composition of milk should be assessed from the nutritional perspective for the calf and the more appropriate techniques for its measurement should be implemented.
Conclusions: PV and GDP were greater in SSPi than in PRM due to the chemical composition and not the amount of ingested milk. The chemical composition of milk affected the pre-weaning growth of calves. The tropical milking race and SSPi are an alternative for tropical livestock raising in warm weathers.
Em busca de uma educação sustentável
Authors: Da Silva Leonardo Valente 
Published: May 2021

O Colégio Estadual Baldomero Barbará tem entre seus principais objetivos, a formação profissional e a preparação para o mundo do trabalho. Com a redução em larga escala do ensino noturno nas unidades da rede por conta das políticas voltadas para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos, percebemos a oportunidade de darmos ênfase a essa formação. Porém, com o advento do Curso Técnico em Química, modalidade Subsequente, a Unidade deparou-se com o problema da falta de oportunidade de estágio para os alunos. Com a obrigatoriedade do estágio e a escassez de postos para atender essa necessidade do curso, iniciamos a busca pela independência da oferta, execução e controle desse componente curricular. Várias frentes estão em andamento nesse momento, dando a um grupo considerável de alunos essa oportunidade. Projetos de reciclagem de papel reutilizados pela própria Unidade, produção de material de limpeza como cloro, sabão, desinfetante, cera e detergente são exemplos de atividades que são desenvolvidas por alunos do curso e que são contabilizadas como estágio profissional. Também temos alguns casos de alunos que ocupam vagas em empresas da região, tais como CSN, Galvasud, Peugeot, Wolkswagem, Dupont entre outras. Contudo, todos esses esforços não foram capazes ainda de minimizar os problemas com o abandono de cerca de 75% dos alunos que ingressam no curso em cada semestre. A necessidade de um projeto maior, que englobe várias frentes, que traga maior valor para a escola, para seus alunos, para a sociedade e para o meio-ambiente motivou a idéia do empreendimento que será apresentado neste plano. Tal projeto visa a produção de energia limpa e barata através da utilização de bio-combustível usado para abastecer um gerador elétrico capaz de abastecer toda a escola. Devido ao caráter empreendedor e inovador do referido projeto, seu alinhamento ao Edital 02 da Fundação Novo Brasil e a necessidade da aquisição de equipamentos e dimensionamento da rede elétrica da Unidade, encaminhamos o presente Plano para apreciação e aguardamos aprovação e apoio financeiro para sua execução.

Authors: Marinho Maria 
Published: May 2021

A Escola Estadual Professora Ana Pinto Duarte Paes trabalha no modelo Ensino Integral nos segmentos: Ensino Fundamental Ciclo II – Anos Finais e Ensino Médio; que prima pela excelência acadêmica no apoio integral aos projetos de vida dos alunos. Durante as análises para a elaboração do plano de ação da escola, que determina os objetivos e as metas para efetivar uma aprendizagem com excelência acadêmica, detectou-se a necessidade de privilegiar adequações de espaços para oportunizarem a transformação das dinâmicas e das metodologias diferenciadas de sala de aula, abrangendo a diversidade cognitiva e seduzindo os alunos a envolverem-se em seus próprios processos de aprendizagem, tendo como principais objetivos: Associar o sentimento de liberdade da juventude com o ambiente pedagógico; Desenvolvimento de ações protagonistas. A proposta é revitalizar espaços para serem utilizados nas atividades de cunho pedagógico que serão alinhavadas pelos professores das disciplinas do currículo e da parte diversificada, através de projetos que tenham como foco central o envolvimento dos alunos do Ensino Médio. O PROEMI (programa ensino médio inovador – mec/fnde) está sendo um facilitador para a realização deste projeto, pois suprirá a necessidade das verbas para sua execução. Para que este projeto tenha sucesso inovador todo o processo será registrado e divulgado nos murais da escola através de cartazes com fotos de todas as fases/etapas da revitalização, publicação no Blog da escola e em reuniões de pais. O principal resultado que a escola almeja é o aumento do índice do IDESP, sendo o foco principal a melhoria do indicador de fluxo. O valor estimado para utilização na revitalização da estrutura física é de R$ 11.120,00, porém após seu término haverá as despesas administrativas e de pessoal prevista em R$ 68.513,76/ano; investimentos estes, que visarão um melhor aproveitamento dos espaços culturais/pedagógicos no interior da escola além de oportunizar momentos diferenciados de convivência e aprendizado.
A inovação como estratégia nas organizações sustentáveis: O programa piloto brasileiro para concessão das patentes verdes
Authors: Moroni Cutovoi IARA Tonissi 
Published: May 2021

O presente trabalho relata como a inovação das patentes verdes pode contribuir para a estratégia de sustentabilidade da organização. A importância e relevância deste estudo se justificam devido ao aumento gradativo e interesse das empresas pela inserção de práticas sustentáveis em seus processos, trouxe maior foco para operações verdes, juntamente às demandas legislativas dos governos e à sustentabilidade. Desta forma, existe uma lacuna na literatura de estudos que tratem das diretrizes e abordagens de programas e legislações vigentes neste aspecto. O objetivo principal é analisar a inovação trazida por tais patentes e sua relação com a sustentabilidade, referente às competências e implantação de suas estratégias nos níveis operacional, tático e estratégico. Discute-se também a economia circular, e quais as atuais propostas inovadoras, que corroborem para o planejamento. Um dos aspectos importantes para esta economia é a a inovação, sendo necessário seu incentivo, de forma a promover um novo crescimento econômico, fundamentado na aplicação eficiente dos recursos e dos ativos ambientais. Em vista disso, o intuito é responder à seguinte questão: Como as patentes verdes ajudam na estratégia de inovação das organizações sustentáveis? O programa piloto brasileiro é analisado frente às concessões de Patentes Verdes, lançado pelo INPI (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Intelectual) do governo brasileiro lançado em 2012, o qual se encontra na prorrogação de sua terceira fase, que se estenderá até 16 de abril de 2016 ou até atingir 500 novas vagas. Metodologicamente, o estudo pode ser considerado como revisão estruturada da literatura, de natureza qualitativa. Por fim, demonstra-se que a patente verde pode servir de instrumento gerador da produção de tecnologias verdes. Sendo que contribui para a economia circular e para a diminuição do tempo de análise das solicitações de patentes verdes, proporcionando maiores incentivos a investimentos e inovações na área ambiental. A conclusão é que existe uma convergência através da maior demanda de exigências ambientais pela sociedade.

Review [untitled]
Authors: MacMillan Margaret 
Published: May 2021

<p>This is an unusual book, not least because it delivers far more than it initially promises. What appears at first sight to be a discussion of the tools of empire, in this case intelligence and surveillance of their Indian subjects by the British, is in fact a wide-ranging and subtle exploration of systems of knowledge and how these affect, and are affected by, the relations between rulers and ruled. Writing with an unrivaled familiarity with the sources and a firm grip on recent theory, C. A. Bayly has produced a fascinating study that marries social, material, and intellectual history and that has implications far beyond this particular period in Indian history. </p>
From theory to practice: Engaging immigrant parents in their children’s education

<p>The development of a series of theoretically based interventions for newcomer (immigrant)parents was undertaken over a 10-year period through an iterative method of designingand analyzing a series of ethnographic studies of its implementation. The results of threesuch interventions are reported here. The work was based on the critical theory of Freireand the post-Marxist and radical theories of Bourdieu and Cummins. Specifically, theinterventions were designed to help immigrant groups of parents (of Latino origin) tounderstand their position of marginality, to help empower them, and to provide them witha basis for acting in support of their children’s education in the new host country. Thefindings of the interventions reported show how the research program evolved along withthe dialectic refinement of practice and theory.</p>

A Logic of Actions Revisited
Authors: Gu Yilan , Soutchanski Mikhail 
Published: May 2021

<p> </p>
<p>We propose a theory for reasoning about actions based on order-sorted predicate logic where one can consider an elaborate taxonomy of objects. We are interested in the projection problem: whether a statement is true after executing a sequence of actions. To solve it we design a regression operator that takes advantage of well-sorted unification between terms. We show that answering projection queries in our logical theories is sound and complete with respect to that of in Reiter’s basic action theories. Moreover, we demonstrate that our regression operator based on order-sorted logic can provide significant computational advantages in comparison to Reiter’s regression operator.</p>
Toronto’s Little India in Residential Context: A Geographical Analysis of Census Data

Published: May 2021

<p>Ethnic economies are an important part of the today’s global city. We examine Toronto’s Little India and map the corresponding ethnic and Visible Minority population and their residential locations across the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). Although past research suggests that ethnic economies are typically accompanied by a local co-ethnic residential population, our study shows that this is not the case for Little India. While the South Asian population around Little India is increasing, it is growing at a slower pace than in some other parts of the Toronto CMA. We identify and examine four major South Asian residential clusters across the Toronto CMA that represent a potential customer base for the businesses of Little India. </p>
