Published: March 2019

The plant latex is a complex mixture of organic, inorganic and hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases which acts as anticoagulant and finds its uses in surgeries, heart diseases and blood clot treatment. In the present study, latex was collected from Euphorbia milii, Jatropha malacophylla, Thevetia peruviana, Euphorbia pulcherimma and Artocarpus altilis to evaluate the best source of anticoagulant enzyme though four other plants were originally screened as well but failed to show the enzyme. Among the five, A. altilis and J. malacophylla showed the highest anticoagulant activity by milk clotting, blood clotting and APTT assay. The samples were subjected to three-step purification, i.e., salt precipitation, dialysis, ion exchange and gel filtration. The fold purification of A. altilis was found to be 5.37 and 2.31 for J. malacophylla respectively after the gel filtration. The percentage of yield of A. altilis was found to be 63.23% and 26.4% for J. malacophylla. Molecular weight of J. malacophylla sample and A. altilis was found to be ~80kDa and ~105kDa respectively, determined by SDS PAGE. Both enzymes showed optimum activity at pH 7. A. altilis showed optimum activity at 35°C, incubation time of 40 minutes, substrate concentration of 60mM, with MgCl2 as activator the activity increased at 600?L and with EDTA as inhibitor the activity increased at 400?L. J. malacophylla showed optimum activity at 45°C, incubation time of 10 minutes, substrate concentration of 80mM and stable at 35 °C which is the human body temperature. A. altilis showed optimum conditions for human administration making it therapeutically viable.

Realizou-se através deste trabalho um levantamento sobre as pesquisas publicadas em periódicos nacionais sobre o papel e uso do livro didático no ensino da física, a um período em que são submetidos ao Programa Nacional do Livro Didático que passaram a ser avaliados com critérios pedagógicos. A pesquisa buscou analisar, nos artigos identificados, o papel e o uso desse material didático pelos docente e discente do ensino médio, assim como as afinidades instituídas entre ciência e escola, conhecimento científico e o conhecimento escolar. Observou-se que o livro é empregado como material de contribuição para o docente e serve como ferramenta auxiliar no ensino, podendo através dele produzir uma aula sistematizada obtendo uma linha de orientação, visto que o docente esta em constante aprendizado e colabora no desenvolvimento dos planos de aula e faz com que suas aulas sejam mais produtivas. Enquanto que, para o aluno pode ser utilizado para desenvolver uma boa leitura e acompanhar as atividades elaboradas pelo professor ou até mesmo fazer com que o aluno tenha uma melhor compreensão das atividades elaboradas em sala de aula ou em laboratórios experimentais, dividindo espaço com outros materiais didático-pedagógicos no transcorrer do trabalho docente. Contudo, entre outros aspectos, o livro permanece realizando uma forte função e atuando direcionador do currículo.

Historicamente, a importância da saúde ambiental se deu na década de 70, quando a primeira conferência da ONU abordou o tema meio ambiente. O objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar uma pesquisa bibliográfica relacionada com a saúde ambiental da cidade de Porto Velho-RO. A metodologia utilizada foi realizar diferentes leituras de artigos e materiais científicos. O estado de Rondônia coleta apenas 3,3% do esgoto produzido pela população, onde o índice é ainda pior na capital, Porto Velho, onde apenas 2% é coletada para tratamento. Tratando-se de água tratada, apenas 48% da população possuem abastecimento e 52% realizam captação direta de poço. Entre as doenças mais frequentes, causadas por agentes biológicos (bactérias, vírus e parasitas), estão a leptospirose, febre, cólera, malária e dengue. A pesquisa demostrou que no estado de Rondônia mais da metade da população não são comtempladas com água tratada e tratamento de efluentes domésticos e industriais. Os poderes estaduais e municipais responsáveis pelo Meio Ambientes e por consequência o bem-estar da população não têm levado em conta a capacidade de suporte dos ecossistemas.

'A land of hardship and distress': Camels, North American Deserts and the Limits of Conquest
Authors: Isenberg Andrew C. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In 1848, having just concluded a war of conquest against Mexico, the United States seized a large portion of northern Mexico, much of which was desert. In the 1850s, the US struggled to extend its sovereignty over this unfamiliar desert territory. To conquer the desert, the US secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, imported camels from the Ottoman Empire, hoping to build a camel-mounted military unit that would impose US will on the arid region. By the 1860s, however, the camels had either perished in droughts or been sold to circuses or menageries. The failure of the camel experiment points to the limits of exotic animal invasions, but more importantly it reveals a curious prologue to the better-known story of US dam-building and irrigation in arid regions: at first, rather than try to transform the desert, the US tried to adapt to it.
Global Imaginary of Arid Lands: Early Twentieth- Century United States Botanists in Africa
Authors: Morrissey Katherine G. , Burtner Marcus A. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
From the 1890s through the 1930s, arid land scientists drew connections between US and African landscapes. As they studied desert nature at home and abroad, modified agricultural landscapes and collected and described species in the world's deserts, they envisioned a global imaginary. This paper traces these connections and transformations, using the Sonoran Desert and US southwestern botanical scientists who traversed abroad - including William Cannon, Edgar Mearns, Robert Forbes and Homer Shantz - as case studies.
From Desiccation to Global Climate Change: A History of the Desertification Narrative in the West African Sahel, 1900-2018
Authors: Benjaminsen Tor A. , Hiernaux Pierre 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
During the last few decades, 'desertification' has reached the status of a global environmental issue. The African Sahel is often seen as the world region worst hit by this process. The idea that deserts are spreading, mainly due to local land-use practices, is, however, not new. It already existed early in the colonial period in tropical Africa. The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical perspective on the construction of the desertification narrative using historical documents combined with a review of international scientific research. The main focus is on former French colonies in the West African Sahel, and the paper aims to identify various phases in the history of the desertification narrative in this region and to explain the shifts between these phases. We first present debates among French scientists in the early twentieth century about desiccation as a natural or human-induced process. We continue by discussing the transition from desiccation theory to a narrative focusing more explicitly on desert advance caused by local human activities. Thereafter, we show how the droughts in the Sahel of the 1970s and 1980s enhanced the desertification narrative and led to an institutionalisation of desertification at different levels, which again established this idea as a global environmental problem. Finally, we demonstrate how global climate change has further strengthened the idea of desertification as a global environmental threat, despite international scientific research questioning the scale and relevance of this perceived problem. This history of the desertification narrative from the early colonial period to today shows how the narrative has created some powerful winners, while the losers have largely been Sahelian small-scale farmers and pastoralists. This is also a case illustrating how a policy narrative may use science when science supports its main tenets, but neglects science when it turns against the narrative.
'Fezzan is the Siberia of Africa': Desert and Society in the Prison Memoir of Pavel Shatev (1882-1951), An Anarchist from Ottoman Macedonia
Authors: Shopov Aleksandar 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Between 1906 and 1908, the Ottoman anarchist Pavel Shatev was imprisoned along with hundreds of other political prisoners (Armenians, Young Turks, etc.) in the Ottoman province of Fezzan, present-day Libya. As a member of a group of anarchists from Ottoman Macedonia, he had participated in a series of bombings of Ottoman state institutions and western European financial and commercial interests in Salonica in 1903. Shatev wrote a memoir of his imprisonment, published in 1910, during a peak of efforts by states around the world to persecute anarchists and halt the spread of their ideas. This paper examines the meaning of the Saharan desert environment in Shatev's prison memoir as a mirror of global political struggles. In Shatev's writing, desert plants, rocks and sand become images that invoke political oppression and imperialism, while the desert animals become part of his radical arguments for animal rights. This paper challenges an understanding of Ottoman anarchists solely as recipients of anarchist and socialist writings from western Europe, even as it also departs from a scholarship that seeks to frame them within nationalist historiographical frameworks by studying them only as parts of emerging national liberation movements. By contrast, Shatev's prison memoir both engaged with global theoretical currents and contained new insights and ideas that arose from the particular environment in which he was imprisoned. This paper thus also contributes to the field of Ottoman environmental history by exploring the formation and function of ideas about the environment and ecology in the emerging radical social thought.
MULHERES DA LINHA E AS SUBJETIVIDADES DA PESQUISA NA REGIÃO DA ESTRADA DE FERRO (GO

Published: March 2019

Pelo estado de Goiás, grupos de mulheres vêm transformando linhas em complexas tramas do cotidiano. Falo, especialmente, de fiandeiras que manuseiam o algodão à beira da estrada de ferro, no interior do estado. Foi neste contexto que, durante a realização de minha pesquisa de mestrado, me vi envolvida pelas trocas cotidianas ocorridas e por todo o emaranhado que me foi apresentado pela interlocução daquelas mulheres. Deste ponto, proponho esboçar uma narrativa afetuosa e “afetada” dos sentidos da linha – sempre em construção, e como eles foram “criados” na sistematização dos dados da pesquisa. Para isto, trago uma reflexão sobre a “escrita” nas pesquisas em ciências sociais e humanidades em geral; fazendo da “metáfora” e da “alegoria” aliadas ao processo de “tradução”; esses dois conjuntos foram tensionados pela analogia à dupla linha: ferro e algodão. Me interessa, enquanto jovem pesquisadora, levar a sério a compreensão de que metáfora e alegoria são formas possíveis para o fazer-pensar nas ciências sociais e nas humanidades.

Milk is a rich and complete nutritive food provided by nature. The present study, reports the hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of camel milk supplementation in the management of hyperlipidemia associated with obesity. Rats were rendered obese by feeding them with a high-fat diet for eight weeks to induce hyperlipidemia. The supplementation of camel milk as shown by atherogenic index, and a battery of biochemical markers of oxidative stress, lipid profile, antioxidant vitamins, markedly improved and ameliorated hyperlipidemia in rats. It also significantly (p<0.05) lowered the elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, and urea. The data provided evidence supporting the beneficial effect of camel milk on hyperlipidemia associated with obesity. The study assumes significance because of the fact that hyperlipidemia is associated with metabolic syndrome that leads to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.
