O crescimento desordenado das cidades torna indispensável a necessidade de desenvolver políticas de planejamento ambiental eficazes. Para tal, são necessários estudos que visam entender as dinâmicas dessas ocupações em diferentes áreas. Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a dinâmica temporal do uso e ocupação da terra em São Borja – RS. Mapas temáticos dos anos 2000, 2005 e 2010 foram elaborados. Os resultados apontaram que a classe definida como 'campo' apresentou a maior redução no período avaliado: de 51,97% do total mapeado em 2000 para 23,42% em 2010. A classe 'solo exposto e urbanização' foi a que apresentou maior crescimento: de 6,1% em 2000 para 22,63%. A classe 'florestas' obteve o mesmo comportamento, porém de forma menos significativa: de 16,05% no primeiro ano analisado para 24,53% em 2010. A classe denominada 'agricultura' mostrou comportamento variável ao longo do período estudado: em 2000 apresentou 9,27%, no ano de 2005 o mapeamento apontou 25,14% e no último ano analisado esta porcentagem baixou para 14,57%. A classe de recursos hídricos se manteve com percentual semelhante em todos os anos mapeados (16,61%, 16,69% e 14,85% consecutivamente). Conclui-se que este estudo pode vir a ser uma ferramenta importante para delimitar, e promover, ações de planejamento ambiental e territorial pela esfera pública.

Published: June 2022

As alterações temporais na composição florística de uma comunidade, bem como as variações sazonais na frutificação e dispersão influenciam na abundância de sementes, no número de espécies e nas formas de vida disponíveis no solo de uma floresta. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a composição e a densidade de espécies arbóreas presentes no banco de sementes no solo, com relação borda e interior, comparando os diferentes períodos sazonais do ano, presente em cada unidade amostral que ocorreram em três fragmentos de uma Floresta Estacional Decidual, localizada a 27° 23’ 45” S E 53º 25’ 53” W, no município de Frederico Westphalen-RS, Brasil. Para a avaliação serão coletadas 48 amostras, em cada um destes fragmentos, sendo 24 amostras na borda, em 12 pontos equidistantes e 24 amostras no interior da floresta, em 12 pontos aleatórios, totalizando 144 amostras por período sazonal, efetuadas de três em três meses em cada um dos diferentes fragmentos. A primeira amostragem foi realizada no mês de agosto de 2010. Não houve diferença significativa na densidade do banco de sementes do solo em relação às distâncias, e não houve influência do efeito de borda.

Todo ano são produzidas 1,4 bilhões de toneladas de resíduos sólidos no mundo. Aproximadamente, 28% das cidades brasileiras realizam a destinação inadequada. Consequentemente, os RSS trouxeram impactos significativos no meio ambiente e na saúde pública. O presente estudo foi realizado buscando quantificar os resíduos nos serviços de saúde, especificamente anterior e durante a pandemia de COVID-19 em um hospital universitário, localizado no município de Campina Grande, Paraíba. Foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: quantidade e classificação de RSS; e composição dos RSS por setor hospitalar. A pesquisa foi realizada no período de 2017 a 2020. A produção de resíduos infectantes/perfurocortantes em relação ao total dos RSS foi nas seguintes proporções: 27,7% (2017); 22,46% (2018); 25,16% (2019); e 24,3% (2020). O ano 2018 teve a produção de RSS elevada, com cerca de 164 mil kg. Houve diminuição de quase 7% nos anos de 2019 e 2020, comparados com o ano de 2018. A proporção do material reciclável em relação aos resíduos comuns foi de 15,12% (2018), 14,5% (2019) e 12,68% (2020), evidenciando que estes materiais são direcionados para empresa de recicladores. A partir dos dados obtidos foi constatado que é necessário que a taxa de eficiência na segregação precisa ser melhorada para que os resíduos sejam direcionados ao tratamento adequado.

Introduction
A global surge in SARS-CoV-2 cases is occurring due to the emergence of new disease variants, and requires continuous adjustment of public health measures. This study aims to continuously monitor and mitigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 through genomic surveillance, to determine the emergence of variants and their impact on public health.

Methods
Data were collected from 50 full-genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 isolates from Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Mutation and phylogenetic analysis was performed of SARS-CoV-2 from Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Results
Phylogenetic analysis showed that two samples (4%) were of the B.1.319 lineage, while the others (96%) were of the B.1.466.2 lineage. Mutation analysis of the spike (S) protein region showed that the most common mutation was D614G (found in 100% of the sequenced isolates), followed by N439K (98%) and P681R (76%). Several mutations were also identified in other genomes with a high frequency, including P323L (nsp12), Q57H (ns3-orf3a), and T205I (nucleoprotein).

Conclusion
Our findings highlight the importance of continuous genomic surveillance to identify new viral mutations and variants with possible impacts on public health.

Aim: To study the distribution of two invasive alien plants and associated plants as well as their distribution in the Malebo Pool eco-region.
Methodology: The study was carried out by direct observation by circulating on a motorized canoe. Plant samples were randomly harvested (n=6) in August 2020 depends on the sites. Plant species identification was performed on the field, and those species of which the identification was difficult, were brought to the laboratory for proper identification according to APG III.
Results: 19 species, including two Pteridophytes and 17 Angiosperms, belonging to 19 families and 12 orders were identified. The site of Molondo was the most diversified with 15 plant species, followed respectively by the sites of Mipongo (13 species), Japon (12 species) and Kingabwa (07 species). The plant species Ludwigia abyssinica A. Rich., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart), Pistia stratiotes L, Echinochloa pyramidalis (Lam) and Salvinia molesta D.S. Mitchell were present in all four prospected sites. E. pyramidalis and E. crassipes constitute a serious threat for the environment and are source of erosion/loss of aquatic biodiversity. Physiologically, these species form a mono-specific carpet and eliminate native or autochthonous species of aquatic flora.
Conclusions and Suggestions: The invasion of alien species is a consequence of human activities and a concern, as it affects all sectors of society. These plants can alter, disrupt, and degrade many ecosystem services like the disturbing of habitats and the alteration of the environmental and biological conditions around them. They can also reduce light and diversity of native aquatic plant species. Controlling invasive alien species is thus a challenge for the Congolese society. Political decision-makers are therefore invited to take appropriate measures for managing and protecting the local aquatic flora and valorize the invasive plants as potential medicinal remedy.

Assesses of prognostic value of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) wasthe aim of this work.
Methods: This observational research was conducted on 50 individuals had ACS admitted to CCU and indicated for invasive coronary angiography. Cases were classified in 2 groups depending on the level of hs-CRP: group A included (14) cases with hs-CRP > (2) and group B involved (36) cases with hs-CRP ≥ (2). All patients were subjected to: laboratory investigations (creatinine, urea, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), troponin, creatine kinase myocardial band (CKMB), hs-CRP, HbA1C, lipid profile, twelve lead surface ECG, echocardiography and coronary angiography.
Results: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride were significantly higher in group B compared to group A(P=0.001). Stent implantation was significantly higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (P=0.040)
Conclusions: There were correlation between hs CRP and lipid profile as a risk factor and there was no correlation between in hospital outcome and hs CRP in ACS patients due to small sized study.

Background: Cryptosporidium is an etiologic agent of gastro-intestinal disorders and severe, profuse watery diarrhoea in immunocompromised patients, such as people living with HIV/AIDS.
Aim: This study was carried out to determine the genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of Cryptosporidium parvum among HIV patients who usually received antiretroviral therapy (ART) in four selected hospitals in Maiduguri Metropolis.
Study Design: This is a clinical laboratory study of opportunistic pathogens in HIV/AIDS Patients.
Place and Duration of Study: This was conducted at the Department of Medical Laboratory Science, the University of Maiduguri in collaboration with the Biological Sciences Department, ATBU Bauchi, Nigeria, between March 2021, and February 2022.
Methods: A total of 400 faecal specimens were collected from confirmed HIV-positive patients and screened for Cryptosporidium-specific antigen by Enzyme Link Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Genomic DNA Extraction was done by Quick-DNATM Faecal Microbe Miniprep with PCR amplification and sequencing of 18s SSU rRNA gene using specific reference primers.
Results: Out of the 70 HIV/AIDS and Cryptosporidium co-infected patients, 20 of the samples contained 18s SSU rRNA genes, with the highest frequency (45.0%) found in patients from the University Teaching Hospital. The results of phylogenetic analyses indicated that there is signiﬁcant intra-species diversity in the genus Cryptosporidium. The four human C. parvum isolates differ from the bovine and the two avian isolates in three regions of the 18s rRNA gene.
Conclusion: The human genotype (genotype I) found in this study is exclusively human and in a single non-human primate, in bovine genotype (genotype II) has proved to be anthroponotic and zoonotic to the livestock. The study, therefore, advocates further genotyping of Cryptosporidium from both HIV-infected patients and immunocompetent hosts from various regions together with surveillance of animal and environmental reservoirs is highly recommended.

Published: June 2022

Aims: The present investigation was carried out at SKUAST-Kashmir during the year 2020 to improve the seed vigour and germination potential of okra through pre-sowing seed treatments.
Study Design: The experiment was laid in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications
Place and Duration of Study: The present investigation was carried out at the division of Basic Sciences and Humanities, SKUAST-Kashmir during the year 2020
Methodology: There were nine pre-sowing seed treatments comprised of simple seed soaking and seed priming with water (T1 and T5), -1.0MPa solution of PEG (T2 and T6), 100ppm solution of GA3 (T3 and T7) and 1.5% solution of KH2PO4 (T4 and T8), respectively along with untreated control (T0). Fifty seeds of each treatment were cultured in 14.0cm Petri dishes lined with 10 layers of moist filter paper. Observations on various germination parameters were recorded at (25±2°C).
Results: Findings of the study revealed that seed soaking in water (T1) resulted in maximum FGP (93.3%) and GI (16.29) compared to other treatments. Discrete middling of different soaking (AvS) and priming (AvP) treatments indicated the novelty of seed priming over simple soaking. However, unlike FGP and GI, all other parameters viz., CVG, MGT, MGR, T50 and Z-index were found superior when seeds were primed in water (T5) with their recorded values of 87.34%day-1, 1.15day-1, 0.614 day-1, 1.18 day, 0.790, respectively. Values of CVG, MGR and Z index with respect to separate means of simple seed soaking, AvS (69.5%day-1, 0. 0.566day-1 and 0.53) and priming, AvP (75.6%day-1, 0.573day-1 and 0.63) further confirmed the dominancy of seed priming technique over simple seed soaking. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis revealed strong relationship between different quantities of seed germination attributes.
Conclusion: Seed priming resulted in better germination attributes in okra compared to tradirional seed soaking and as such priming treatments should be practiced instead of traditional seed soaking in okra.
Ecology and Biogeography of the Cyanobacteria
Authors: Jungblut Anne D. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractCyanobacteria are Gram‐stain‐negative, oxygenic phototrophic bacteria, and nearly all species possess photosystems I and II. They show a considerable physiological and morphological diversity that allows them to proliferate in the photic zones of planktonic and benthic freshwater and marine habitats and terrestrial environments, and form symbiotic relationships with fungi, protists, plants, and animals. Due to their ability to adapt to diverse environmental conditions, they thrive and often are key primary producers in extreme environments, including permanently cold freshwater aquatic ecosystems, geothermal springs, and arid terrestrial ecosystems. Cyanobacteria contribute to ecosystem functioning as a primary producer and also as fixers of atmospheric nitrogen. They are also important for human health and water quality because of the production of toxins. This article provides an overview of the ecology of cyanobacteria, their physiology and molecular insights into their ability to grow under diverse environmental conditions, and examination of their biogeography.
