A LINGUAGEM COMO CONVERTIGEM
Authors: Rodrigues de Souza Cirlana 
Published: December 2024

Considerando o inconsciente estruturado como uma linguagem, o objetivo é recortar do texto O Aturdito (LACAN, 1972/2003) elementos que possibilitem ler e escutar esse inconsciente como existência de linguagem. Do jogo de significantes, dos efeitos de sentido e significação, o equívoco afeta o ser falante por ressoar rompendo o peso da palavra do Outro e sua potência alienante de sentidos. O equívoco como funcionamento de linguagem será abordado dentro da perspectiva psicanalítica a partir das dimensões do dizer real, simbólico e imaginário geridas pela lógica do objeto a, que não se nomeia, mas ordena as análises e redefine a interpretação. Ao final, será tirada a consequência dessa perspectiva para a articulação entre linguagem e psicanálise.
Grain yield, grain quality and weed infestation of winter wheat after various previous crops
Authors: Woźniak Andrzej 
Published: December 2024

Grain yield and quality as well as the weed infestation of winter wheat grown after potatoes, peas and winter wheat were evaluated in the study. The experiment was established in a system of randomized blocks, in three replications. The experimental results were statistically processed via the analysis of variance method. Coefficients of Pearson’s linear correlation between grain yield and its components, grain quality parameters, and the number and air-dry weight of weeds were also calculated. Grain yields of winter wheat were higher when it was grown after potato and pea than after winter wheat. In addition, winter wheat grains harvested from plots with potato and pea as previous crops had a higher total protein content and a higher sedimentation index than those harvested from plots with winter wheat as the previous crop. However, the study years affected the protein, gluten and starch contents of winter wheat grain to a greater extent than the previous crops did. A higher number of weeds with a higher air-dry weight was recorded on the post-winter wheat than on the post-potato and post-pea plots. Negative values of correlation coefficients were computed between the number of weeds and their air-dry weight and grain yield, number of spikes, grain weight per spike, 1000 grain weight, total protein content of the grain, and the value of sedimentation index as well as between weed number and wet gluten content of the grain.

In a 2-year field study, the impact of mineral nitrogen fertilization on the productivity of a new potato cultivar, promising due to the highest resistance to potato late blight among the registered ones, was compared to the proven, widely cultivated Denar cultivar. The study determined morphological features (size and weight of organs), physiological indicators (cover of soil by leaves – LAI. leaf greenness – SPAD) of potato plants during the growing season, yield and quality characteristics of tubers and optimal level of nitrogen fertilization. Tuber quality was assessed based on the share of tuber size and external defects in the yield structure. Optimal mineral nitrogen fertilization was determined based on the relationship between the increase in tuber yield and the increasing dose of this ingredient. The research took into account two factors: nitrogen dose (0, 50 kg‧ha–1, 100 kg‧ha–1, 150 kg‧ha–1) and cultivar (Gardena and Denar). The increase in the dose of mineral nitrogen fertilization to 150 kg‧ha–1 resulted in a significant increase in plant height, the weight of the root system, stems, leaves and the share of large tubers in the yield. It was shown that the Gardena cultivar was characterized by greater requirements for mineral nitrogen fertilization, low effectiveness of its use, a higher share of large tubers (diameter above 60 mm) and lower tuber yield than the Denar cultivar. In a year characterized by excess rainfall, plants produced a greater mass of the root system and the mass of the above-ground part, and in a year with an amount of rainfall close to optimal the final yield of tubers and the share of large tubers in the yield were higher.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
For centuries, the Saharan oasis agro-systems of Adrar region have fed many generations, based on an original organization, based on the efficiency of drainage water on the diversification of crop systems in association with small livestock farming. The aim of the work is to describe the systemic typology of oasis livestock farming in the Adrar region (southwest Algeria). In order to assess the livestock typology, a series of surveys were conducted on 164 farms in the oases of the study region. The analysis reveals that the production system, traditionally aimed at subsistence agriculture. The dominant production system is an intensive system, characterized by intensive mixed food crops (Phoenicuculture, arboriculture, herbaceous crops: cereals, fodder, market gardening, industrial and condiment crops), in association with livestock farming mainly of small ruminants (goats and sheep). The livestock system is characterized by a family type, small in size in traditional management. It is generally managed in stalls and its feed comes mainly from fodder crops, domestic waste and by-products of palm groves. Family livestock farming can be an important source to ensure a certain production of animal origin (milk and meat) for family self-consumption. As a result, it can contribute to ensuring food security, family financial security and improving soil fertility in oasis farm plots.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The present work aims to illustrate the current state of steppe rangelands based on three plant formations: Stipa tenacissima, Lygeum spartum and Stipagrostis pengens, and to describe the different floristic processions linked to these species in Nâama region with an arid climate. The phytoecological study is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses through 150 floristic surveys carried out during the spring period of the year 2022 in Nâama region. The floristic analysis enabled the identification of 62 taxa belonging to 23 families and 53 genera. The floristic procession is very rich and diverse in the three plant formations according to the Shannon indices (between 2.85 and 3.59) and equitability (0.68 and 0.86), where Asteraceae and Poaceae dominate the herbaceous layer in the study area. The three plant formations have great ecological plasticity and occupy an important place in the steppe rangelands of Naama. They tolerate extreme environmental conditions (drought, aridity, sandy substrates) well through adaptations using various strategies for occupying these specialized environments. The floristic evaluation of the steppe rangelands is necessary, even mandatory; in order to assess the pastoral potential and to identify solutions for the restoration and rehabilitation of these degraded steppe areas.

Abstract
In recent years, humans have turned to herbal remedies to solve a variety of problems, both food-related and health-related. Synthetic food preservatives are now restricted in many developed countries because of their irreversible effects on the body. Therefore, the present study is an important contribution to the search for new beneficial preservatives from plants. The Citrus aurantium plant is widely used by the people of the Relizane region for therapeutic and culinary purposes. The extraction of essential oils from the fruit of this plant by hydro-distillation gave a yield of 0.09 ± 0.01%. The relative density at 20°C, the acid value, the ester value and the saponification value are in the order of 0.69 ±0.1, 44 ±3.0 mg KOH/g oil, 2.75 ± 0.5 mg KOH/g oil and 46.75 ± 5.1 mg KOH/g oil respectively. GC/MS analysis revealed the predominance of linalool (43 ± 1.5%) followed by limonene (19 ± 3%). In contrast, no alterations were detected in sample 3 in terms of odour, appearance and colour. A low number of total aerobic mesophilic flora (2×104 CFU/g) was recorded in the same sample, followed by sample 2 (4!!!x0020;× 104 CFU/g) and sample 1 (6 × 106 CFU/g). A total absence of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in samples 3 and 2. While sample 1 appeared spoiled due to the presence of a load of 104 CFU/g of Salmonella. The Citrus aurantium essential oils appear to be a natural preservative that can be used and incorporated into many perishable food preparations.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the early 2000s, the European Commission laid the groundwork for soil protection with a report titled “Towards a Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection”[1]. This report outlined guidelines for preserving and enhancing soil quality. As a result, understanding the levels of heavy metals in soils and their sources became a key priority for the European Union. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of pesticide and insecticide use on the soils of the main orchards in Dambovita County. Using WDXRF spectrometry, the elemental concentrations of As, Cd, and Pb were determined in samples collected from 10 points located in the main orchards of Dambovita County. The distribution maps obtained, as well as the comparisons made with the maximum allowable limits of pollutant elements in soils, demonstrated the impact that pesticide and insecticide use can have on soil.

Abstract
The breeding and management of birds has represented throughout history the main occupation with regard to obtaining as quickly as possible, quantitatively but also qualitatively, valuable animal products high economic. During the study, the technological circuit within the production hall for raising broilers was monitored, in terms of managing microclimate factors in direct correlation with physiological needs of broilers as well as the evolution of hybrids, from the moment of population until reaching the specific marketing age, The proposed objective was to present the advantages of the stage rearing system to the detriment of the classic system, on permanent litter. Although this new model is not very popular among large farms due to the high implementation costs, it offers significant advantages regarding broiler health, microclimate conditions, easier manure disposal operations and shorter time required for preparation. of the rearing rooms until the next population. Ventilation, insulation or heating are the primary parameters regarding the adaptability of the chicks to the exploitation conditions. Neglecting any such factor can jeopardize the smooth running of the activity and can negatively affect biosecurity.
Revisiting Czech philosophical critiques of science in the age of Generative AI and Big Data
Authors: Brennan Daniel 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper explores the resurgence of anti-scientism in contemporary debates surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Data, and Generative AI, drawing parallels with 20th-century Czech philosophical critiques of scientism. The work of Czech intellectuals such as Tomáš G. Masaryk, Karel Čapek, Josef Šafařík, Jan Patočka, and Václav Havel is revisited to understand how their concerns about the dominance of scientific rationalism remain relevant today. The paper critiques both the blind faith in science as a comprehensive solution to complex human problems and the reductive dismissal of science as a tool of control. It argues for a nuanced middle ground that recognizes the value of scientific inquiry while also emphasizing ethical, spiritual, and humanistic considerations. By engaging with these Czech perspectives, the paper proposes a framework for critically navigating the interplay between ethics, technology, and human values in the face of contemporary challenges such as pandemics, AI, and climate change. This approach challenges both scientific and anti-scientific extremism and advocates for a balanced discourse that integrates wonder, ethics, and critical inquiry.

The Impact of the Size of Funds on the Use of Selectivity and Market Timing by Investment Funds
Authors: Żebrowska-Suchodolska Dorota 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Research background
Investment funds are an important part of the capital market. Household savings in this type of asset are increasing every year. From an investor’s point of view, the performance of funds is important. These, along with the risks, are what most often determine the choice of fund type and finally the specific fund. The performance of a fund is often determined by both the size of the fund and the application of the managers’ selectivity and market sense.

Purpose
The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of fund size on performance through the use of selectivity and market sense by managers. Dividing funds into size groups will allow the search for patterns in terms of managers’ use of market timing.

Research methodology
The research used a Treynor-Mazuy model as a market timing model and Ward’s method as the cluster analysis methods. The performance of the funds was determined using an investment performance indicator, i.e., Omega.

Results
The obtained results indicate that the funds are similar within the groups. However, there were differences in the results between the groups. During periods of high volatility, it is recommended to invest in units of funds with an average size below the median.

Novelty
The added value is the study of market timing in groups of funds similar in size. In each group, the results of the Treynor-Mazuy model estimation, and the Omega investment efficiency index were determined, and the differences in the obtained results between the groups were examined. Finally, all funds were clustered using the Ward method.
