Valuation of Tree Aesthetics on Small Urban-Interface Properties
Authors: Thompson Richard , Hanna Richard , Noel Jay , Piirto Douglas 
Published: March 2022

AbstractA model was developed to predict the value contribution of forest condition on small urban-wildland interface properties. Sample data were collected on property transactions in the Lake Tahoe Basin of California between 1990 and 1994. A variant of the stand density index (SDI) and a tree health measure were added to a list of traditional property characteristics (i.e., location, house size, lot size) to express the influence of tree care on property value. These aesthetic characteristics were statistically significant despite the expected dominant influence of the traditional characteristics. Values for the forest density and health characteristics were estimated and reveal a contribution to property value between 5% and 20%.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study answers the question: Dothe accrued benefits from Modesto’s urban forest justify an annual municipal budget that exceeds $2 million?Results indicate that the benefits residents obtain from Modesto’s 91,179 public trees exceeded management costs by a factor of nearly 2. In fiscal year 1997–1998, Modesto spent $2.6 million for urban forestry ($14.36/resident, $28.77/tree), and 74% of this amount was for mature tree care. Total annual benefits from Modesto’s urban forest were $4.95 million ($27.12/resident, $54.33/tree). Net benefits for FY 1997–1998 were $2,329,900 ($12.76/resident, $25.55/tree). Annual air-pollutant uptake was 154 metric tonnes (3.7 lb/tree), with an implied value of $1.48 million ($16/tree). Aesthetics and other benefits had an estimated value of $1.5 million ($17/tree). Building shade and cooler summer temperatures attributed to street and park trees saved 110,133 MBtu, valued at $870,000 (122 kWh/tree, $10/tree). Smaller benefits resulted from reductions in stormwater runoff (292,000 m3or 845 gal/tree, $616,000 or S7/tree) and atmospheric carbon dioxide (13,900 t or 336 lb/tree, $460,000 or $5/tree). Due to the population’s relatively even-aged structure and heavy reliance on mature Modesto ash for benefits, management strategies are needed that may reduce net benefits but increase diversity and stability.
Detection of Wood Decay in Blue Gum and Elm: An Evaluation of The Resistograph®and the Portable Drill
Authors: Costello Laurence R. , Quarles Stephen L. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractDecay and soundwood assessments made with the Resistograph®and the portable drill were compared with laboratory measurements of wood density. Sixteen Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) and 5 Scotch elm (Ulmus glabra) were evaluated in the field, cut, sectioned along Resistograph and drill test paths, and measured for density. Resistograph measurements of soundwood depth agreed closely with density measurements in 85.5% of all cases for blue gum and 100% of all cases for elm. Portable drill measurements agreed closely with density measurements in 73% of cases for blue gum and 81% for elm. Drill evaluations varied considerably among operators. For both species, the Resistograph provided a higher level of consistency and reliability than the portable drill. For either method, familiarity with wood resistance patterns of the test species is critical for an accurate interpretation of decay presence or absence.
Effects of 3 Trunk Support Systems on Growth of YoungPyrus calleryanaTrees
Authors: Švihra Pavel , Burger David , Ellis Deborah 
Published: March 2022

AbstractTrunk support of newly plantedPyrus calleryanasaplings (from 57-L [15-gal] containers, 280 cm [9 ft] tall) for 2 years with 2 stakes was compared with the TreeSaver™ Tree Anchoring System (3 rubber support straps anchoring each tree) and with a prototype of Bio-Tie (single-stake system holding each tree in an upright position with a flexible cord allowing for multidirectional movement of each tree). During the first year after installation, the double-staked trees grew taller than those supported with Tree Saver or Bio-Tie systems (P< 0.05). After the trunk supports were removed and the trees were allowed to sway normally in the third year, the differences in growth increase disappeared. The Bio-Tie-supported tree trunks developed significantly more taper than either Tree Saver or the 2 stakes and remained more tapered after the stem supports were removed.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Importance: Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience chronic challenges in their life roles. There is a need for evidence-based occupational therapy interventions to help enhance their functioning.
Objective: To determine the preliminary effectiveness of the Cognitive–Functional Intervention for Adults (Cog–Fun A), a metacognitive–functional occupational therapy tool for the improvement of occupational performance (OP) and quality of life (QoL) in adults with ADHD.
Design: One-group pretest–posttest design with a 3-mo follow-up.
Setting: Community setting in Jerusalem, Israel.
Participants: Fourteen adults, ages 18–60 yr, with a valid diagnosis of ADHD and an indication of executive function (EF) impairment.
Intervention: Participants received 15 1-hr weekly sessions that addressed self-awareness of strengths and challenges through education and guided discovery as well as strategy acquisition and implementation within a context of occupational goal attainment.
Outcomes and Measures: The Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Adult version, an adult ADHD QoL measure, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and the Self-Regulation Skills Interview were administered.
Results: Twelve participants completed the intervention. Posttreatment scores revealed statistically significant improvements in EF, awareness, OP, and QoL. Gains in QoL showed a modest reduction at the 3-mo follow-up.
Conclusions and Relevance: The Cog–Fun A is a promising intervention for improving OP and QoL among adults with ADHD and should be investigated further.
What This Article Adds: The Cog–Fun A offers an effective nonpharmacological, metacognitive–functional, occupation-centered treatment option for adults with ADHD.

CONSTITUIÇÃO ENCRIPTADA E DESCONSTRUÇÃO DO DIREITO DO TRABALHO NO BRASIL: EXAME DAS REFORMAS TRABALHISTAS A PARTIR DA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DA TEORIA DA ENCRIPTAÇÃO DO PODER
Authors: Melo Filho Hugo Cavalcanti , De Andrade Everaldo Gaspar Lopes 
Published: March 2022

O texto se insere no campo de estudo do Direito Constitucional Crítico, especificamente da Teoria da Encriptação do Poder. Utiliza-se o método dialético, considerado como o mais adequado à interpretação dos fenômenos sociais, a partir da compreensão materialista da história. O objetivo do estudo é examinar as reformas trabalhistas no Brasil, a partir da análise crítica da Teoria da Encriptação do Poder. Escrutinam-se a crítica marxiana da modernidade e outros quadrantes da filosofia moderna encarregada de estabelecer a crítica da modernidade (pós-moderna, pós-estruturalista), a fim de descortinar a maneira pela qual a burguesia se constituiu em classe e universalizou a forma jurídica que rege a vida humana. Sustenta-se que a teoria da encriptação do poder se desenvolve a partir de padrões analíticos que se aproximam das versões pós-estruturalistas da crítica à modernidade. Constata-se que, por tal vinculação, a teoria não está apta a explicar as transformações normativas laborais havidas no atual quadro de ultraliberalismo global, nomeadamente a desconstrução do Direito do Trabalho no Brasil. Conclui-se que a teoria estaria melhor estruturada a partir de uma aproximação com o conceito de ideologia-hegemonia, totalidade orgânica contraditória e da consciência da luta de classes.
CONTEXTUALIZANDO A POLÍCIA DEMOCRÁTICA: UMA POSSÍVEL RESPOSTA PARA AS GRAVES CRISES DE SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA NO BRASIL

Published: March 2022

O “policiamento democrático” pode vir a ser um meio para minimizar as graves crises da segurança pública que vem a atravessar o Brasil principalmente no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19. Desta forma, repensar a responsabilização e a reformulação das políticas públicas para o policiamento através de processos mais democráticos pode favorecer para elevar o grau de proteção dos direitos humanos e fundamentais, proporcionar um nível maior de segurança e contribuir para os fundamentos duma ordem política democrática. Este artigo tem o propósito de examinar o contexto que se insere o denominado “policiamento democrático” no campo do direito internacional para demonstrar que o seu exercício pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento político das instituições policiais e da segurança pública. A metodologia empregada foi dedutiva, utilizando como métodos a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Assim, a “polícia democrática” não é aquela que opera de forma irrestrita sob o manto da lei e da ordem, mas também é responsiva e protetiva dos direitos humanos e fundamentais. A mudança pretendida também alcança aqueles grupos que são economicamente, politicamente e socialmente marginalizados e que são frequentemente afetados pelas ações policiais. O policiamento democrático objetiva ser indutor do diálogo e pôr em marcha o processo de construção coletiva das políticas públicas através das escolhas cooperadas e participativas e pode trazer novo significado ao contexto que envolve a polícia, os direitos humanos e a segurança pública.
EFEITOS DA MULTIPARENTALIDADE NO DIREITO DE FAMÍLIA
Authors: Lobo Fabíola Albuquerque 
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo tem por finalidade analisar o instituto da multiparentalidade e seus efeitos no direito de família. Como sabido, o ingresso da multiparentalidade, pela via jurisprudencial, se deu com o julgamento do tema de Repercussão Geral 622, representado pelo leading case RE 898060, cujo julgamento resultou no reconhecimento jurídico do vínculo de filiação socioafetivo e biológico concomitantes. Diante da complexidade que envolve a multiparentalidade, se faz necessário a fixação de limites quanto a sua aplicação, por sua vez, balizados pelo princípio do melhor interesse. A multiparentalidade necessariamente exige uma interlocução prévia com a socioafetividade, pois enquanto àquela é recente, esta possui elaboração teórica e aplicação prática consolidadas no direito brasileiro.

Published: March 2022

Increasing demands for livestock products in Nigeria have greatly offered opportunities for farmers to intensify their production systems. However, there is an erratic supply of these products, especially during the dry season due to poor quality feed resources and management Therefore the aim of this study was to highlight simple techniques involved in sown pasture establishment and management in Sudan savannah ecological zone. From the collective technical activities carried out, the series of technical activities for pasture establishment and management were site selection, soil testing and correcting soil nutrient deficiencies, seedbed preparation, pasture species selection, timing planting date, seed dressing and treatment, seeding methods, weed control, fertilizer application, pasture disease and pest control, grazing management, forage and seed harvesting techniques and forage conservation. Considering dwindling feed production for livestock while demand is on the significant increases, there is a need for pasture scientist and other livestock researchers to intensify efforts to fully explore modern-strategic approaches for pasture establishment and management through integration of cheapest and commonest ways that requires less technical labour skills, land and other input.

Les demandes croissantes pour les produits de bétail au Nigéria ont grandement offert des possibilités d'intensifier leurs systèmes de production. Cependant, il existe une offre erratique de ces produits, en particulier pendant la saison sèche due à une mauvaise qualité des ressources et une mauvaise gestion, l'objectif de cette étude était de mettre en évidence des techniques simples impliquées dans l'établissement et la gestion des pâturages semés dans la zone écologique du Soudan Savannah. Des activités techniques collectives réalisées, la série d'activités techniques pour l'établissement et la gestion des pâturages était la sélection de chantiers, les tests de sol et la correction des carences de nutriment de sol, la préparation des semences, la sélection des espèces de pâturage, la date de la plantation de calendrier, la vinaigrette et le traitement, des méthodes d'ensemencement, des mauvaises herbes Contrôle, application d'engrais, pâturage et contrôle des parasites, de gestion des pâturages, des techniques de pêche des fourrages et des semences et de la conservation des fourrages. Compte tenu de la production d'aliments en diminution du bétail tandis que la demande repose sur les augmentations importantes, il est nécessaire de renforcer les chercheurs scientifiques et autres chercheurs d'élevage pour intensifier les efforts visant à explorer pleinement les approches stratégiques modernes pour l'établissement des pâturages et la gestion grâce à l'intégration des moyens les moins chers et les plus communs qui nécessitent moins cher compétences techniques du travail, des terres et autres entrées.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), is geographically the smallest province, characterized by high population growth and a large refugee population. It faces a set of unique obstacles in the health sector including limited human resources, low financial protection, and weak governance.
Objective: To explore clinical outcomes and factors associated with mortality among Health Care Workers (HCWs) of KPK.
Materials & Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted over 32 district of KP. A format containing 70 variables, including demographics, comorbidity, symptoms and outcomes, was developed and shared with rapid response teams (RRT) of each district and orientation was given for its use to the teams. Data were collected onto the software IPMS (Integrated Performance Monitoring System). We obtained this information from Health Department KP.
Results: From February 2020 to 27th June 2020, 1813 HCWs reported COVID-19 positive; 669 had active infection, 1133 recovered while 11 died. Median age was 34 (IQR=14) years, and 76.1% were males. Fever, cough and sore throat were present in 40.5%, 33.5% and 19.1% while comorbidity was present in ~2% of patients. 6 patients were admitted to ICU and 4 patients received invasive ventilation- none survived. After adjusting for potential confounders, age, cough, Shortness of breath (SOB), headache, diabetes and chronic lung disease were significantly associated with mortality (all p<0.05).
Conclusion: HCWs, with COVID-19, were young; predominantly males, mostly asymptomatic, and a small proportion had comorbidity. Fever, cough and sore throat were top 3 symptoms. Mortality rate was 0.6%. The outcome was poor in patients who received intensive care/invasive ventilation.

Introduction: Tobacco use has become quite common in school students worldwide and Pakistan is one of those countries massively affected. Data about implementation of tobacco control policies in schools of Peshawar city are scanty, with consequences for the health of students and school staff.
Objectives: To evaluate the implementation of tobacco control policies in schools, and the effect these policies have on tobacco use among students.
Material & Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 3 private and 3 public schools of Peshawar city. Self-structured Questionnaires were used to collect data from school administration and the students. Schools were selected through simple random sampling. Classes 8, 9 and 10 were selected from each school and one section was selected from each class randomly. Students were selected through systematic sampling in which every third student was selected from each row. The age group of study subjects ranged from 12 to 18 years.
Results: Out of the 230 students that participated in the study, 51.3% were from the age group 15-18 years and 48.7% students were in the age group 12-14 years. Amongst these, 6.52% of students reported using tobacco products. Of 6 schools included in the study, 4 were unaware of the latest tobacco control policy developed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government for schools. Of the remaining 2 schools, only one was effectively implementing the policy, in which 8.10% students were regular users of tobacco compared to 5.4% of students from schools not following the tobacco policy. The schools unaware of tobacco policies had 6.4% students using tobacco.
Conclusion: Two-thirds of the schools were unaware of any Tobacco Policy. An almost total lack of policy implementation was observed in the schools studied, even among the schools aware of the policy.
