Published: December 2021

Due to stringent environmental regulations and increased awareness about the environment, effluent treatment has always been a key aspect of research. Textile industry is one of the oldest and technologically advanced complex industrial sectors employing variety of chemicals and large amount of fresh water consumption. These effluents contain substantial amount of organic pollutants and suspended impurities in varying compositions and hence cannot be discharged directly into the environment. The current research work focused on the utilization of Azadirachta Indica powder as a natural adsorbent for the effective removal of organic and suspended pollutants from textile mill effluent. A series of batch experimental studies were performed by varying the pH of textile mill effluent, stirring time, stirring speed and dosage of Azadirachta Indica powder. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), conductivity, and turbidity were estimated to study the performance of Azadirachta Indica powder in the removal of pollutants. The characterizations of Azadirachta Indica powder before and after treatment are performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The best processing conditions for the effective removal of pollutants from textile mill effluent was obtained at an effluent solution pH 4.0, stirring time 90 min, stirring speed 150 rpm with 1.0 g of Azadirachta Indica powder. The surface morphological structure of Azadirachta Indica powder after batch treatment using scanning electron microscopy indicated that the pollutants are accumulated in the form of clusters on the adsorbent surface. The FTIR spectral analysis indicates the chemical interaction between adsorbent powder and organic pollutants illustrate the characteristic peaks. The study demonstrates that the Azadirachta indica is a promising type of biomass for the effective removal of pollutants from textile mill effluent.

Published: December 2021

Natural indicators using anthocyanin compounds can be an alternative to synthetic indicators on acid-base titration because anthocyanin is an organic compound that is unstable with changes in pH. The extraction was carried out with ethanol because the compounds of anthocyanin were polar. This study was to ensure an ethanol extract of some plants could be used as an acid-base indicator that had a pH range of color change and the value of the equality parameter was not significantly different from the phenolphthalein indicator. The research method is to collect research journals on making natural indicators from ethanol extracts of various plants compared to phenolphthalein indicators so that secondary data from these journals can be processed statistically. Research results and conclusions: Based on the results of statistical data processing using the t-test there was no difference in the average pH of the phenolphthalein indicator with the average pH of ethanol extracts of adam air leaves (Rheo discolor), white frangipani flowers and Clitoria teratea L., with a significance value > 0.05 and the equality test (precision) had the requirements of good equality.
HIGHLIGHTS

Natural indicators are needed as a substitute for synthetic indicators in determining acid-base titrations; one of them is anthocyanin dye
Research journals on making natural indicators from ethanol extracts of various plants compared to phenolphthalein indicators so that secondary data from these journals can be processed statistically
There was no significant difference between the average pH of the phenolphthalein indicator and the average pH of the ethanol extract of Adam's Eve Leaves, ethanol extracts of white Cambodia flowers and ethanol extracts of Telang flowers in producing color changes

The objective was to evaluate the minimum size of experimental plots for the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) using the modified maximum curvature method. The experiment consisted of a uniformity trial with the cultivar BRSFC-402 sown at a spacing of 0.5 m between plant rows and 10 plants per meter within the row. 20 central rows measuring 20 m in length were considered for measurements, totaling 4,000 plants on an area of 200 m2. Final bean stand (FS), mean number of pods per plant (NPP), mean number of grain per pod (NGP), mean 100-grain weight (M100), and grain yield (kg ha-1) were evaluated. At evaluations, each row with 10 plants was considered a basic unit (0.5 m2), amounting to 400 basic units whose dimensions were combined into 14 plot shapes. The methods of relative information and modified maximum curvature were used to obtain the best shape and the most appropriate plot size, respectively, for experimental evaluation with common bean. Using these methods, and considering that the optimum plot should enable an efficient evaluation of all evaluated characteristics, the appropriate plot size was five UB (25 plants) in the format with five rows x one UB per row.
Highlights

Support for experimental evaluation of common beans under edaphoclimatic conditions in the northern region of Minas Gerais
Experimental plots with five basic units ensure maximum precision for joint evaluation of the main phenotypic descriptors of common beans.
The characteristics mass of 100 grains and productivity were associated with the smallest and the largest plot sizes, respectively.

Introduction: Active cancer and heart disease, which share similar environmental and biological characteristics, can occur concomitantly. Open heart surgery may be required for these patients when indicated. This study aims to demonstrate the early and long-term results and discuss the intervention strategy in patients with different types of active malignancies, who underwent open-heart surgery.
Patients and Methods: Between January 2012 and May 2020, open-heart surgery was performed on 10 patients with active malignancies. The mean age was 65.5 (52-77), and four of the patients were female. Two patients were operated on urgently due to advanced pleural effusion. AVR+CABG, CABG, CABG+left upper lobectomy, and AVR+MVR were performed in four patients with lung cancer; AVR+CABG were performed in one patient with colon cancer; CABG was performed in four patients each with one of the following conditions: lymphoma, breast cancer, essential thrombocytosis, meningioma); and mass resection operation from the left atrium and left ventricle was performed in one patient with osteosarcoma.
Results: Eight patients were discharged and two patients died in the early postoperative period. Postoperative left hemiparesis developed in one patient. Six-month, one-year and five-year survival rates were 79%, 37.5% and 25%, respectively.
Conclusion: Open-heart surgery can be successfully performed with acceptable mortality and morbidity rates on the high-risk patient group with active cancer.

Abstract. Management of marine fisheries and ecosystems is constrained by knowledge based on datasets with limited temporal coverage. Many populations and
ecosystems were perturbed long before scientific investigations began. This situation is particularly acute for the largest and
commercially most valuable species. We hypothesized that historical trap fishery records for bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus Linnaeus, 1758)
could contain catch data and information for other, bycatch species, such as swordfish (Xiphias gladius Linnaeus, 1758). This species has a
long history of exploitation and is presently overexploited, yet indicators of its status (biomass) used in fishery management only start in
1950. Here we examine historical fishery records and logbooks from some of these traps and recovered ca. 110 years of bycatch data
(1896–2010). These previously neglected, but now recovered, data include catch dates and amounts in numbers and/or weights (including individual
weights) for the time period before and after major expansion of swordfish fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. New historical datasets such as these
could help understand how human activities and natural variability interact to affect the long-term dynamics of this species. The datasets are online
and available with open access via three DOIs, as described in the “Data availability” section of the article.

Abstract. Land evaporation (ET) plays a crucial role in the hydrological and energy cycle. However, the widely used model-based
products, even though helpful, are still subject to great uncertainties
due to imperfect model parameterizations and forcing data. The lack of
available observed data has further complicated estimation. Hence, there
is an urgency to define the global proxy land ET with lower uncertainties
for climate-induced hydrology and energy change. This study has combined
three existing model-based products – the fifth-generation ECMWF reanalysis
(ERA5), Global Land Data Assimilation System Version 2 (GLDAS2), and the
second Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications
(MERRA-2) – to obtain a single framework of a long-term (1980–2017) daily ET
product at a spatial resolution of 0.25∘. Here, we use the
reliability ensemble averaging (REA) method, which minimizes errors using
reference data, to combine the three products over regions with high
consistencies between the products using the coefficient of variation (CV).
The Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model Version 3.2a (GLEAM3.2a) and flux
tower observation data were selected as the data for reference and
evaluation, respectively. The results showed that the merged product
performed well over a range of vegetation cover scenarios. The merged
product also captured the trend of land evaporation over different areas
well, showing the significant decreasing trend in the Amazon Plain in South
America and Congo Basin in central Africa and the increasing trend in the
east of North America, west of Europe, south of Asia and north of Oceania.
In addition to demonstrating a good performance, the REA method also
successfully converged the models based on the reliability of the inputs.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing constituents (LACs). Recent studies have extended the model to include an adding-doubling two-stream solver and representations of non-spherical ice particles; carbon dioxide snow; snow algae; and new types of mineral dust, volcanic ash, and brown carbon. New options also exist for ice refractive indices and solar-zenith-angle-dependent surface spectral irradiances used to derive broadband albedo. The model spectral range was also extended deeper into the ultraviolet for studies of extraterrestrial and high-altitude cryospheric surfaces. Until now, however, these improvements and capabilities have not been merged into a unified code base. Here, we document the formulation and evaluation of the publicly available SNICAR-ADv3 source code, web-based model, and accompanying library of constituent optical properties. The use of non-spherical ice grains, which scatter less strongly into the forward direction, reduces the simulated albedo perturbations from LACs by ∼9 %–31 %, depending on which of the three available non-spherical shapes are applied. The model compares very well against measurements of snow albedo from seven studies, though key properties affecting snow albedo are not fully constrained with measurements, including ice effective grain size of the top sub-millimeter of the snowpack, mixing state of LACs with respect to ice grains, and site-specific LAC optical properties. The new default ice refractive indices produce extremely high pure snow albedo (>0.99) in the blue and ultraviolet part of the spectrum, with such values only measured in Antarctica so far. More work is needed particularly in the representation of snow algae, including experimental verification of how different pigment expressions and algal cell concentrations affect snow albedo. Representations and measurements of the influence of liquid water on spectral snow albedo are also needed.
Falta de coerência na resposta ao coronavírus entre o Mercosul, seus Estados-membros e a OMS

Published: December 2021

Em fevereiro de 2020, o Brasil registrou um caso de COVID-19, configurando o primeiro oficial da América do Sul e entre os Estados-membros do Mercado Comum do Sul. No mês seguinte, o vírus já havia se espalhado por todas as regiões do mundo, sendo o surto da COVID-19 caracterizado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) como uma pandemia. A Organização conclamou a comunidade internacional para cooperar no combate ao vírus e, nos meses seguintes, realizou uma série de ações e recomendações para mobilizar os diversos atores do cenário internacional. Nosso objetivo é compreender se as recomendações da OMS têm sido seguidas pelo Mercosul e pelos Estados-membros domesticamente. Para lográ-lo, realizamos um mapeamento das principais recomendações da OMS e um levantamento das ações e manifestações do Mercosul referentes ao combate da pandemia, desde março de 2020 até junho de 2021. Também apresentamos algumas das principais ações tomadas no combate à pandemia do coronavírus pelos Estados-membros do Mercosul a fim de observar se eles seguiram as que foram propostas pela Organização. A partir da reflexão observamos que, embora o bloco tenha seguido as recomendações gerais da OMS por meio de encontros e declarações conjuntas em prol do combate regional, domesticamente, os Estados-membros do bloco adotaram medidas que contrastam com algumas recomendações da OMS e com os encontros e declarações do Mercosul.

Objetivo: Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o tema “Experiência do usuário no contexto da Inteligência Artificial”. Metodologia: Constitui-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, na qual foram selecionados e analisados artigos publicados em periódicos internacionais, indexados nas bases Web of Science e Scopus, que abordam diretamente o tema. Para isso, empregou-se como método a revisão sistemática de literatura com base no protocolo de Kitchenham (2004). Resultados: A revisão sistemática de literatura revelou que ainda há poucos trabalhos publicados que tratam das questões envolvendo a experiência do usuário no contexto da Inteligência Artificial. Também foram identificados assuntos relacionados ao tema ainda pouco explorados na literatura. Conclusões: Diante desse resultado, surge uma grande oportunidade para os profissionais da informação se envolverem e incentivarem a discussão deste tema junto às comunidades acadêmicas de pesquisa e desenvolvimento da Inteligência Artificial, uma vez que o foco das pesquisas tem sido no desenvolvimento de aplicações e não nos sentimentos e percepções que uma pessoa tem ao fazer uso de um produto ou serviço baseado nessa tecnologia.
