Aim: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of thyme extract in puppies naturally infected with ascarids.
Methodology: The study consisted of 20 puppies of different sexes (males and females), 2-4 months old, naturally infected with ascarid. The experimental units were given an oral 20% concentration of thyme extract for 3 days, and faecal oocyst counts were conducted on the 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days starting from the day the treatment was started (day 0). Also, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT values in the blood were monitored on the 0th and 3rd days, together with daily clinical examination, to monitor possible toxic effects.
Results: While the number of faecal egg counts in 2 puppies (10%) varied considerably, egg shedding in 8 (40%) of the treated puppies was zero. It was observed that in 10 of the puppies (60%), egg shedding was not completely zero. However, the oocyst counts decreased by 25% to 98.3%. It was also observed that the values of the measured blood biochemical values were within reference range and the puppies did no not show any clinical sign of toxicity during treatment.
Conclusion and Recommendation: It was concluded that the thyme extract did not have any toxic effect in the puppies at the concentration studied, and it could be effective in the treatment of ascariasis.

A OPRESSÃO DA PERFORMANCE FEMININA NO HOMEM GAY CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: Andrade Dayene Albuquerque , Pereira João Paulo Da Silva , Mendes Allyne Evellyn Freitas Gomes 
Published: February 2023

Introdução: Performance de gênero como atravessamento da cultura no sujeito sendo a performance do feminino discriminada pelas regras de conduta social, heteronormatividade compulsória como fissura no processo de subjetivação do homem gay. Objetivo: analisar as manifestações de opressão da performance feminina no gay contemporâneo. Justificativa: Performar o feminino hoje é se colocar no lugar de inferior devido ao lugar que a mulher e a homossexualidade têm na sociedade hegêmonica, e esse não-lugar acarreta uma série de conflitos intrapsíquicos e extrapsíquicos no processo de subjetivação do homem gay. Métodos: Foi utilizada a revisão narrativa, e de interseccionalidade através das quais busca-se aproximação de respostas para as questões levantadas, de forma crítica e pontual dos artigos localizados nas principais plataformas de pesquisa, dissertações e teses da BDTD, além de livros atualizados ou de autores clássicos e de referência na área. Tendo como destaque os autores Sigmund Freud; Judith Butler; Jonas Medeiros; Guilherme Libardi, Nilda Jacks, Michel Foucault, Simone de Beauvoir e Pierre de Bourdieu. Resultado: A internalização das condutas heteronormativas estão incutidas no registro simbólico de agrupamento de leis internas do homem gay e refletem diretamente na não aceitação da sua performance. Conclusão: A opressão da performance feminina no homem gay está diretamente ligada a esse desejo social de que o homem não pode demonstrar fragilidade, ou características humanas associadas à mulher e ao feminino.

Abstract. This study investigates rock glacier destabilization based on the results of a unique in situ and remote-sensing-based monitoring network focused on the kinematics of the rock glacier in Äußeres Hochebenkar (Austrian Alps). We consolidate, homogenize, and extend existing time series to generate a comprehensive dataset consisting of 14 digital surface models covering a 68-year time period, as well as in situ measurements of block displacement since the early 1950s. The digital surface models are derived from historical aerial imagery and, more recently, airborne and uncrewed-aerial-vehicle-based laser scanning (ALS and ULS, respectively). High-resolution 3D ALS and ULS point clouds are available at annual temporal resolution from 2017 to 2021. Additional terrestrial laser scanning data collected in bi-weekly intervals during the summer of 2019 are available from the rock glacier front. Using image correlation techniques, we derive velocity vectors from the digital surface models, thereby adding rock-glacier-wide spatial context to the point-scale block displacement measurements. Based on velocities, surface elevation changes, analyses of morphological features, and computations of the bulk creep factor and strain rates, we assess the combined datasets in terms of rock glacier destabilization. To additionally investigate potential rotational components of the movement of the destabilized section of the rock glacier, we integrate in situ data of block displacement with ULS point clouds and compute changes in the rotation angles of single blocks during recent years. The time series shows two cycles of destabilization in the lower section of the rock glacier. The first lasted from the early 1950s until the mid-1970s. The second began around 2017 after approximately 2 decades of more gradual acceleration and is currently ongoing. Both destabilization periods are characterized by high velocities and the development of morphological destabilization features on the rock glacier surface. Acceleration in the most recent years has been very pronounced, with velocities reaching 20–30 m a−1 in 2020–2021. These values are unprecedented in the time series and suggest highly destabilized conditions in the lower section of the rock glacier, which shows signs of translational and rotational landslide-like movement. Due to the length and granularity of the time series, the cyclic destabilization process at the Äußeres Hochebenkar rock glacier is well resolved in the dataset. Our study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary, long-term, and continuous high-resolution 3D monitoring to improve process understanding and model development related to rock glacier rheology and destabilization.
Dependent or not? From a daily practice of Earth observation research in the Global South to promoting adequate developmental spaces in science and technology studies
Authors: Thorpe Daniel 
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Ever since the operation of the first civilian Earth observation (EO) satellites gained momentum in the 1970s, potential benefits and disadvantages of transferring space science and technologies, such as remote sensing techniques, have also been discussed in relation to developing countries. However, this debate has so far largely taken place at a macro-comparative level. This paper presents results from moving to the ethnographic micro level in southwest Nigeria. It sets the experiences of researchers from the Global South, who use remote sensing data, in relation to a critical review of (post-)development theory perspectives and corresponding discourses in postcolonial science and technology studies (STS). The paper discusses how researchers construct collective agency towards capacity building as a shared liberatory language in relation to an amalgam of experienced and contested places in the EO community. At the intersection of STS, geography and the arena of development policies, these experiences create their own spatial references to a developing niche that invites scholars and development practitioners to rethink and reorganise knowledge production and technologies in a postcolonial world.
On the use of Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) spectrally resolved radiances to test the EC-Earth climate model (v3.3.3) in clear-sky conditions

Abstract. The long-term comparison between simulated and observed spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) can represent a stringent test for the direct verification and improvement of general circulation models (GCMs), which are regularly tuned by adjusting parameters related to subgrid processes not explicitly represented in the model to constrain the integrated OLR energy fluxes to observed values. However, a good agreement between simulated and observed integrated OLR fluxes may be obtained from the cancellation of opposite-in-sign systematic errors localized in specific spectral ranges. Since the mid-2000s, stable hyperspectral observations of the mid-infrared region (667 to 2750 cm−1) of the Earth emission spectrum have been provided by different sensors (e.g. AIRS, IASI and CrIS). Furthermore, the FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) mission, selected to be the ninth ESA Earth Explorer, will measure, starting from 2027, the terrestrial radiation emitted to space at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) from 100 to 1600 cm−1, filling the observational gap in the far-infrared (FIR) region, from 100 to 667 cm−1. In this work, in anticipation of FORUM measurements, we compare Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) Metop-A observations to radiances simulated on the basis of the atmospheric fields predicted by the EC-Earth Global Climate Model (version 3.3.3) in clear-sky conditions. To simulate spectra based on the atmospheric and surface state provided by the climate model, the radiative transfer model σ-IASI has been integrated in the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (COSP) package. Therefore, online simulations, provided by the EC-Earth model equipped with the new COSP–σ-IASI module, have been performed in clear-sky conditions with prescribed sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration, every 6 h, over a time frame consistent with the availability of IASI data. Systematic comparisons between observed and simulated brightness temperature (BT) have been performed in 10 cm−1 spectral intervals, on a global scale over the ocean, with a specific focus on the latitudinal belt between 30∘ S and 30∘ N. The analysis has shown a warm BT bias of about 3.5 K in the core of the CO2 absorption band and a cold BT bias of approximately 1 K in the wing of the CO2 band, due to a positive temperature bias in the stratosphere and a negative temperature bias in the middle troposphere of the climate model, respectively. Finally, considering a warm BT bias in the rotational–vibrational water vapour band, we have highlighted a dry bias of the water vapour concentration in the upper troposphere of the model.

Published: February 2023

The existence of semi-natural habitats around agricultural land has the potential to support ecosystem services by providing resources for beneficial insects. The study aimed to analyze the abundance, diversity index, and evenness of the insects visiting cayenne flowers. This research was carried out in cayenne cultivation areas in the Banggai Regency. Sampling locations were divided into two categories: cayenne fields close to and far from forests or semi-natural habitats. Insect collection was carried out from June 2022 to August 2022, in the morning and evening, using insect nets. The results showed that 16 families and 52 cayenne flower-visiting insects were identified. Lasioglossum sp.3, Lasioglossum sp.5, Megachile sp.2, ?Parancistrocerus sp. and Rhynchium sp. have a higher abundance than the others. The highest Shannon and Wiener diversity index was found in cayenne fields in Tolisu Village (H'= 2.491), Mansahang (H'= 2.216), Salodik (H'= 2.145), and the lowest in cayenne fields in Kembang Merta Village (H'= 1.211), Dale-Dale (H'= 1.112 ), and Beringin Jaya (H'= 1.149 ). The highest evenness index (E) was found in the fields in Lembah Makmur Village (E= 0.9721) and Mansahang (E= 0.9172), and the lowest was found in cayenne fields in Petak Village (E= 0.3975) and Lenyek (E= 0.4405). The highest species richness was found in cayenne fields in Tolisu (14 species), Salodik (14 species), and Petak (12 species). Cayenne fields in the three villages are close to semi-natural habitats. Our findings show that agricultural land adjacent to semi-natural habitats has increased the species richness of cayenne flower visitor insects. Thus, semi-natural habitats are critical to sustaining insect communities in agricultural landscapes.
AVALIAÇÃO DA PREVISÃO SEMI-EMPÍRICA DA CAPACIDADE DE CARGA DE ESTACAS ESCAVADAS E HÉLICE-CONTÍNUA A PARTIR DE RESULTADOS DE PCEs INSTRUMENTADAS

Published: February 2023

RESUMO: Métodos semi-empíricos de previsão da capacidade de carga de estacas baseados em sondagens SPT devem ser usados com cautela, observando-se as particularidades de cada situação. Dada a ampla utilização desses métodos, em um contexto de otimização de projetos de fundações é fundamental analisá-los à luz de dados mais refinados. Neste sentido, esse trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a performance de alguns métodos semi-empíricos brasileiros a partir de resultados de provas de carga estáticas instrumentadas (PCEIs), que por fornecerem dados reais de transferência de carga, possibilitam uma análise mais refinada dos métodos. Para tal, trabalhou-se com um banco de dados de 42 PCEIs (21 em estacas escavadas e 21 em hélice contínua). As previsões semi-empíricas de capacidade de carga de cada parcela resistente foram comparadas aos valores medidos nas PCEIs. Observou-se que os métodos apresentam baixa exatidão na previsão das cargas lateral e de ponta, com resultados ligeiramente melhores para a carga total. Nota-se também uma grande dispersão de resultados, sobretudo para estacas escavadas e para a parcela resistente de ponta. Ainda, observou-se que para estacas de grande diâmetro os resultados foram mais satisfatórios. As análises ressaltam a importância de se avaliar a previsão de comportamento de estacas em termos de transferência de carga, dada as diferenças expressivas de resultados entre os componentes da capacidade de carga.
ABSTRACT: Semi-empirical methods for pile bearing capacity prediction based on SPT should be used with caution, considering the particularities of each situation. Given the wide use of these methods, in a context of optimization of foundation design it is fundamental to analyze them in the light of more refined data. In this sense, this paper aims to evaluate the performance of some Brazilian semi-empirical methods from the results of instrumented static load tests (ISLT), which, by providing real data of load distribution along the pile, allow a more refined analysis of the methods. For this purpose, a database of 42 ISLT (21 of bored piles and 21 of continuous flight auger piles) was used. The semi-empirical predictions of ultimate shaft and tip resistance and bearing capacity were compared to the values measured in the ISLT. There was also a large scatter of results, especially for bored piles and for the tip resistance. Furthermore, it was observed that for large diameter piles the results were more satisfactory. The analyses highlight the importance of evaluating the prediction of pile behavior in terms of load transfer, given the significant differences in results between the components of load capacity.
South Asian Transhumanist Posthuman Ontologies: The Relationship between Vehicle Art and Mind Uploading in Uzma Aslam Khan’sTrespassing
Authors: Liaqat Qurratulaen 
Published: February 2023

AbstractOne possible way to decolonize the posthuman field of literary criticism is to find possible stylistic and thematic affinities between the literatures from the less technologically advanced regions such as South Asia and mainstream Euro-American science fiction. This article invites and affirms alternative ways of perceiving and comprehending the transhumanist posthuman paradigms from the technologically underdeveloped world (South Asia) through a critically informed analysis of the motifs, symbols, and characters in the Pakistani writer Uzma Aslam Khan’s Anglophone novel Trespassing (2003). It argues that the nonhuman agency of truck art in Trespassing can be interpreted as a metaphor for a possible local technique for consciousness uploading. By applying the theoretical framework of transhumanist/posthumanist literary theory, this article demonstrates that the depiction of truck art in the novel can be analyzed as an analogy for the transhumanist posthuman dream of whole brain emulation.
