The European cherry fruit fly,Â Rhagoletis cerasiÂ (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most destructive pest in cherry and sweet cherry orchards. Because of the low tolerance for damaged fruit on the market and the restrictions from E.U regarding insecticides, new envioramental safe methods begin to be developed. This paperÂ prezents preliminary research in monitoring and control of Rhagoletis cerasi L.Â withÂ 5 diffent formulations of specific pheromonÂ (pheromon prodeced by ICCÂ Raluca RipanÂ Cluj-Napoca)Â 4 of them, have not beenÂ tested yet. Adult flight was monitored twice a week on 22 yellow colored traps,Â 17 withÂ certified pheromone andÂ 27 with the 4Â new synthesizedÂ formulations. Traps were placed in two orchards: one in which chemical treatments have beenÂ performed and another plantation where no chemical treatments were applied. In the orchard where they applied chemical treatments, the average catch on colored traps was 28.31 adults/trap and in baited pheromone traps the average fluctuated between 11 adults/ trap in V3 and 28,6 adults per trap in V2. In the untreated orchard, the average number of catches on colored panels was 23.33 and in the variants with pheromone baits, this parameter was between 8.5 adults/trap in V5 and 44 adults/trap in V2.Rhagoletis cerasi level of population differ from a plantation to another and that is not strictly related to applied technology culture. Yellow panels shows good functionality in capturing adults. Between theÂ pheromone baited traps that are in the first stage of testing, higher number ofÂ captures than yellow panel variants, showed the variant V2.

Published: December 2021

Intensification of natural ecosystems may be beneficial for a series of plants, which are favored to become the dominant at the level of grass cover. However, no matter how low would be the inputs applied, the first effects are observed in the symbiotic organisms of existing plants in the ecosystem. Adaptation of plants and soil microorganisms to environmental conditions have made the type and dosage of fertilizer applied to become factors with limiting effect on the balanced evolution of mycorrhizal fungi. For mycorrhizal colonization of Festuca rubra plant, climatic factors play a small role, from this consideration is necessary to identify the dose and type of fertilizer to ensure the stability in time of colonization parameters. To study the effect of increasing soil nutrient resources on the mycorrhizal colonization parameters in Festuca rubra, we set up an experiment with six degrees of fertilization, in addition to unfertilized control were applied to two types of organic fertilization and three types of mineral fertilization. Balancing the colonization and reducing fluctuations in time of colonization parameters is influenced in a high degree by nitrogen, whether it comes from manure or synthetic fertilizers. At the end of growing season it is observed the superiority of combined fertilizersÂ ( manure + NPK or Eurofertil mezocalc supplemented with nitrogen) , which ensure the highest values of the colonization degree.

Published: December 2021

Red deerÂ ( Cervus elaphus L. )Â populations, depending on their density can dramatically affect vegetation in their living areas using hay meadows, farmland tree plantation and orchards, leading to a financial deficit for the farmers. We quantified grazing intake in natural vegetation fields that were bordered by forest and had been used as hay meadows. Grazing cages had been placed in three separate locations in Valea Mare hunting range from BistriÅ£a-NÄƒsÄƒud during 30 May - 15 July period. Sampling took place shortly before the hay meadows were mowed with the purpose of quantifying the Red deer intake. Red deer grazing resulted in the loss of a percentage between 11,6% and 12,6% of the total production.

In this paper, author collective present results and methodology of the insecticides testing against maize leaf weevil, in laboratory conditions. Year by year at NARDI Fundulea, in field conditions, it has tested insecticides used both like seed and vegetation treatment for control ling of the maize leaf weevil. Because climatic conditions from the spring are not favorable for this pest every year, laboratory testing is one of the best methods for evaluate of the insecticides used like seed treatment. At eight days after insects are added in the pots with maize plants, highest adults mortality and lowest attack intensity has registered in case of plants emerged from the seeds treated with products on base of thiametoxanÂ ( Cruiser 350 FS ) , clothianidinÂ ( Poncho 600 FS )Â or thiametoxan+teflutrinÂ ( Force Zea ) . In case of seeds treated with product on base of imidaclopridÂ ( Nuprid 600 FS 8,0 l/t ) , even if the insects mortality was lower, the attack intensity has low values. All plants from the untreated variant were destroyed. At treated variants, saved plants percent were at least 90 %. Seed treatments provide a satisfactory protection of the maize plants, in first vegetation stages against maize leaf weevil.

Giant knotweed Polygonum sachalinense, weyrich's knotweed Polygonum weyrichii and spread wide knotweed P. divaricatum species from the collection of nontraditional fodder plants, Botanical Garden (Institute) of Academy of Sciences of Moldova, as objects of study have been served. The annual productivity of P. sachalinense was 12.42 kg/m2 of fresh mass or 3.09 kg/m2 of absolutely dry matter, P. weyrichii - 7.70 kg/m2 orÂ 2.15 kg/m2 and P. divaricatum - 5.35 kg/m2 and 1.45 kg/m2 respectively. The species P. sachalinense is characterized by a protein (16.48%) and fat content (2.53%) at the level of fodder legumes. The content of these substances is lower in the species P. weyrichii and P. divaricatum compared with P. sachalinense but higher than in traditional forage crops: corn, sudan grass and sunflower. The nutritive value of natural fodder of species of the genus Polygonum is characterized by 0.20 to 0.23 nutritive units with a metabolizable energy content for cattle of 2.43 - 2.87 MJ / kg. The species P. sachalinense has a higher nutritional value of the natural fodder and is used in the production of quality silage.

Published: December 2021

AbstractRoom tilt illusion is a rare phenomenon in which a person transiently perceives the surrounding environment as tilted to one side. Epilepsy is one of the presumed causes of room tilt illusion, but this has never been proven. We present a case of room tilt illusion that is epileptic in nature, documented by video‐ EEG monitoring. Our Patient is a 30‐year‐old woman with 11 years history of bi‐monthly spells of sudden tilt of the whole environment counterclockwise for a duration of one to two seconds. These spells were initially diagnosed as psychogenic. She was then admitted to our video‐EEG monitoring unit. She had three of her typical spells during monitoring, with corresponding changes of brief generalized spike‐wave burst on EEG that coincided temporarily with her symptoms. The video otherwise did not reveal any sway or tilt of the patient herself. She was started on topiramate with resolution of her symptoms. She remained spell‐free when seen during follow‐up, six months later. This case illustrates a first example of room tilt illusion that is documented to be epileptic in nature. This case adds to the varied nature of how epilepsy can manifest in patients, which may support improved diagnosis and treatment of epileptic patients.

AbstractObjective. Treatment of super‐refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is associated with various complications of anaesthetic coma therapy. This study aimed to describe the factors affecting the prognosis, especially in‐hospital mortality, of patients receiving pentobarbital coma therapy for the treatment of SRSE.Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single tertiary referral centre with patients who received pentobarbital coma therapy for the treatment of SRSE from 2006 to 2018. Exploratory analyses were performed for clinical, laboratory, electrographic, and radiological factors for the entire cohort and were compared between the mortality and survivor groups.Results. In total, 19 patients were enrolled, and five (26.3%) patients died in the hospital. The maximal pentobarbital infusion dose was higher in the mortality group than in the survivor group (4.4±1.0 mg/kg/h vs. 2.9±1.4 mg/kg/h, respectively; p=0.025). The high‐dose pentobarbital infusion group (>3.75 mg/kg/h) underwent longer mechanical ventilation (24 [20–36.75] vs. 41 [28–70], p=0.025) and blood culture results were more frequently positive, suggestive of septicaemia (8.3% vs. 57.1%, p=0.038).Significance. The group of SRSE patients treated with pentobarbital coma therapy who died in the hospital received a higher pentobarbital infusion dose compared to survivors; a complication of high‐dose pentobarbital infusion was septicaemia. Considering the high rate of septicaemia observed, systematic treatment strategies focusing on infectious complications should be established and implemented. The association between maximal pentobarbital infusion dose and in‐hospital mortality needs to be further validated.
A Macron Signifying Nothing: Revisiting The Canterbury Tales Project Transcription Guidelines
Authors: Bitner Kendall , Dase Kyle 
Published: December 2021

The original transcription guidelines of The Canterbury Tales Project (CTP) were first developed by Peter Robinson and Elizabeth Solopova and were published in 1993. Since then, the project has evolved, bringing about numerous changes of varying degrees to the process of transcription. In this article, we revisit those original guidelines and the principles and aims that informed them and offer a rationale for changes in our transcription practice. We build upon Robinson and Solopova’s assertion that transcription is a fundamentally interpretive act of translation from one semiotic system to another and explore the implications and biases of our own position (e.g. how our interest in the text of The Canterbury Tales prioritizes the minutiae of that text over certain features of the document). We reevaluate the original transcription guidelines in relation to the changes in the project’s practices as a means of clarifying its position. Changes in the project’s practice illustrate how it has adapted to accommodate both necessary compromises and more efficient practices that better reflect the original principles and aims first laid down by Robinson and Solopova. This article provides practical examples that demonstrate those same principles in action as part of the transcription guidelines followed by transcribers working on The Canterbury Tales Project. Rather than perceiving this project as producing a definitive transcription of The Canterbury Tales, the CTP team conceptualizes its work as an open access resource that will aid others in producing their own editions as it has done the heavy lifting of providing a base text.
“Pacience is an Heigh Vertu”: Managing the Canterbury Tales Project Via Textual Communities
Authors: Dase Kyle , Atkings Nicole 
Published: December 2021

This article functions as both a reflective essay and a pedagogical account of the second phase of the Canterbury Tales Project and the various successes and challenges that unfolded throughout that process. Our focus is how the project both managed the transcription team working locally at the University of Saskatchewan and facilitated transcription workshops abroad. We detail our training process and the transcription workflow as facilitated via the Textual Communities environment. We also examine and evaluate the causes of the project’s challenges—often the result of institutional pressures or technological changes—and our reactions to those challenges, emphasizing successful strategies. Finally, we proffer future changes for the project that we believe would have made considerable positive impact if implemented from the outset of phase two and still have potential as helpful resources now. It is our hope that in detailing our process we can help other large DH projects mimic our successes and, perhaps even more importantly, avoid any pitfalls that challenged us.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: avaliar o estado nutricional das crianças e adolescentes e relacionar com tempo de permanência na instituição COPAME, no município de Santa Cruz do Sul- RS. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, de caráter quantitativo realizado em uma instituição de acolhimento para crianças em risco social. A amostra foi constituída por conveniência, com dados de prontuários de 31 crianças e adolescentes de 0 a 15 anos, abrigados na instituição COPAME, no período de julho de 2017 a setembro de 2018. A análise estatística foi realizada no programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 20.0 (Chicago, IL). Primeiramente realizou-se uma análise descritiva a partir dos cálculos de média, desvios padrão e frequências. Utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney ou teste T de Student para comparar os resultados médios da variável idade, peso e altura, o Qui-quadrado para verificar possíveis mudanças no estado nutricional e no consumo alimentar dos escolares antes e após o acolhimento e para a comparação das variáveis estado nutricional (antes e após o acolhimento) com sexo e motivo do abandono, considerando-se significativo um valor de p<0,05. Resultados: a amostra estudada atendendo os critérios de inclusão e exclusão totalizou 31 crianças e adolescentes. Foi composta por 64,51% (n=20) crianças menores de 5 anos e 35,49%( n=11) maiores de 5 anos de idade. Em relação ao sexo, observou-se maior proporção de meninos 21 (67,7%). O principal motivo que levou as crianças ao acolhimento foi negligência (80,6%, n=25). A média de tempo de abrigamento das crianças foi de 6,90±5,93 meses. A maioria das crianças e adolescentes encontravam-se em eutrofia em todos os índices antropométricos avaliados no momento do acolhimento. A análise da relação entre sexo e motivo do acolhimento com os indicadores antropométricos utilizados para classificação do estado nutricional não mostrou relação significativa em nenhuma das variáveis analisadas. Conclusão: ao analisar os dados antropométricos dos dois grupos etários estudados, 0 a 5 anos e 5 a 15 anos, acolhidas durante o período do estudo pode-se observar que houve uma piora do estado nutricional em todas as variáveis estudadas, em relação ao momento e após o abrigamento, uma parte das crianças apresentou o crescimento insatisfatório comparando com os padrões adotados pelo Mistério da Saúde.

Published: December 2021

Introdução: a COVID-19 é uma doença causada pelo coronavírus. Um número pequeno de casos foi relatado em crianças e a compreensão da doença nesta faixa etária ainda é limitada. Objetivo: refletir sobre os principais desafios associados ao cuidado à saúde da criança durante a pandemia, de forma a não serem esquecidos cuidados essenciais ao desenvolvimento infantil como nutrição adequada e saúde mental, que permanecerão importantes mesmo após a COVID-19. Método: revisão integrativa de literatura, de caráter descritivo que teve suas buscas nas bases de dados PUBMED e SCOPUS, com os descritores Coronavirus Infections; Covid 19; Child; Breastfeeding; utilizando artigos originais completos, publicados em inglês entre os meses de março e novembro de 2020, que trataram da temática da pandemia e sua relação com cuidados à saúde das crianças. A sistematização dos dados foi realizada pela análise de conteúdo dos artigos. Resultados: dos 38 artigos encontrados, foram selecionados 17. Essa pesquisa incluiu os aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos da COVID-19 onde observou-se mortalidade de crianças associadas à comorbidades e co-infecção com outros vírus respiratórios. Os desafios no caso de mães oligo ou assintomáticas com COVID-19 confirmada ou suspeita, os efeitos nutricionais à gestantes e crianças durante a pandemia podem estar subestimados e gerarão impactos em programas de saúde materna e infantil. Houve constatação de alterações psicossociais entre crianças e adolescentes, principalmente pela caracterização do sofrimento psíquico Conclusão: a pandemia gera uma urgência por aprender, identificar e desenvolver recursos para enfrentar uma nova situação de crise. Devemos lembrar que há prioridades que jamais deveriam ser esquecidas e que já são negligenciadas há anos, como a promoção à saúde, principalmente na faixa etária pediátrica. Espera-se que este estudo traga reflexões que vão além da pandemia, que impactem na forma como conduzimos o cuidado à saúde das crianças.
