Published: February 2022

The pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) is the most important defoliator of coniferous forest of the Mediterranean basin. The pine processionary also caused real public health problems. The urticat property is the origin of its health problems. It is still the subject of several studies to this day in order to develop friendly control strategies that respect the environment. The study carried out about the characterization of the pine processionary populations in two stations of pine forests located at the area of the Tlemcen. The caterpillars were collected in January 2016 in the Tlemcen region. Measurements were performed on L5 larvae and male and female nymphs. The statistical analyses were carried out using the SAS 9 software. The results obtained show that the females have an average length of 11.51 ± 1.07 mm and an average width of 7.87 ± 0.33 mm. Males have an average length and width of 11.51 ± 1.07 mm and 6.48 ± 0.29 mm, respectively. The length and width of the head capsule is 43.28 ± 6.63 mm and 4.50 ± 1.35 mm respectively. The GLM procedure of the SAS.9 software allowed us to observe that the Sebdou station is more attacked by this insect compared to the Ghazaouet station despite that there is a similarity between the biometric characters of the pine plants. Our statistical analyses have also shown that trees with the longest needles are the most resistant against insect attack.

Published: February 2022

The Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia), which is sometimes referred to as Aoudad, is widely spread in different parts of Africa as an endemic species, while in Europe and America it is an introduced species. This animal is protected by the decrees of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as well as by the laws of several countries, including Algeria. In order to conserve the Barbary sheep in its natural environment, it was decided to carry out this work which is in fact an update of the knowledge on the presence of the Barbary sheep in the region of Illizi (southeast of Algeria). To do this, surveys were carried out on 20 transects during the years 2015 and 2016 in the region of Illizi (southeastern Algeria) in order to identify populations of wild ungulates, in particular Ammotragus lervia. These transect surveys led to finding a number that exceeds 131 animals divided into 30 females, 43 males and 19 young individuals. In addition, 39 individuals who were observed from afar, and therefore it was not possible to clearly determine their sex. However, the nature of their habitats could be identified. It should also be recognized that the Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia) is a species that is seriously threatened by the risk of poaching.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Importance: Ayres Sensory Integration® is an evidence-based practice that requires a comprehensive assessment before intervention. The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) is intended for this purpose, and psychometric data are needed to determine its validity and reliability.
Objective: To evaluate the internal consistency of four EASI Praxis tests and their validity as developmental measures.
Design: Cross-sectional developmental design.
Setting: Participants’ homes.
Participants: Typically developing children and young adolescents, ages 6 to 12 yr (N = 234).
Outcomes and Measures: We analyzed four EASI Praxis tests using Cronbach’s α, Pearson correlation coefficients, and one-way analysis of variance to explore internal consistency and developmental trends.
Results: The findings indicate moderate to high internal consistency for all tests. Significant correlations between age and praxis scores indicate that the EASI Praxis tests are sensitive to developmental changes.
Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapists can have confidence in the internal consistency and sensitivity to developmental changes of these praxis scores through early adolescence.
What This Article Adds: Occupational therapists administering EASI Praxis tests can have confidence that they consistently measure praxis ability and are sensitive to developmental changes across ages 6 to 12 yr. The results suggest that praxis continues to develop into early adolescence, and adolescents may benefit from assessment and intervention targeting praxis ability.
Imaginar comunidades resilientes: gestión de riesgos, fortalecimiento y capacidades para la acción social
Authors: Chacón Marroquín Ivette 
Published: February 2022

Los territorios en exclusión social han sido un fenómeno de ocupación humana y construcción del hábitat que se ha invisibilizado por décadas y constituyen aún una deuda social muy fuerte en la mayor parte de ciudades en América Latina. Las conurbaciones en San Salvador, El Salvador, no son la excepción. Estas se perfilan como territorios dinámicos donde se tiene una alta densidad de ocupación y los usos de suelo son discrepantes y desafiantes dentro de la planificación urbana. Territorios donde la violencia social hoy, la guerra civil en el pasado y los fenómenos naturales sostenidos han sumado vulnerabilidades a los habitantes en las comunidades más empobrecidas. Con la finalidad de crear territorios más dignos y ciudadanos más fuertes dentro de ellos, el estudio presenta el trabajo de una herramienta destinada a los gestores de desarrollo que a diario trabajan con la construcción social del hábitat. La propuesta de índice de resiliencia comunitaria (IRC) surge de la comparativa de dos comunidades urbanas en distintos momentos, en cuanto a intervención en proyectos de desarrollo, y que tiene la intención de aumentar la cantidad de alternativas de medición cualitativa para el alcance de resiliencia comunitaria. El índice, una herramienta flexible y abierta, permite a los gestores reconstruir sus instrumentos de medición en cuanto a presencia de resiliencia comunitaria para el fortalecimiento humano previo a las intervenciones territoriales; todo ello con el interés de hacer los proyectos de desarrollo más sostenibles y las capacidades de los participantes más duraderas en el tiempo. El IRC, sus elementos y finalidad se ponen al servicio de una Estrategia para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (GRD) no basada exclusivamente en mediciones de acciones antrópicas y ambiente construido. La estrategia aquí presentada culmina en una propuesta modélica de imaginario para la construcción social de resiliencia comunitaria, un proceso y una meta simultáneos y en continua construcción.

Celebración Eucarística del XXXII aniversario de los mártires de la UCA 13 de noviembre 2021
Authors: Oliva Andreu 
Published: February 2022

Basados en los textos bíblicos que se leyeron en la celebración Eucarística en ocasión del XXXII aniversario de los mártires de la UCA, la homilía subraya cómo la palabra de Dios mantiene su actualidad hoy como palabra viva que ayuda a discernir entre el bien y mal y es eficaz cuando se escucha y se vive desde las realidades históricas. Esta palabra despierta el deseo de servir al proyecto de Dios para la humanidad; servicio que puede desembocar en el martirio, como muestra de un amor y que se manifestó en la fidelidad de los mártires de la UCA a este proyecto. Se ofrecen reflexiones sobre las manifestaciones del verdadero amor que motiva a los mártires a brindar la vida por el bien de los demás, lo que contrasta con el amor fingido de otros que prefieren la mentira y el ocultamiento de la verdad. Los mártires guiaron su vida y actuar por los siguientes valores: la verdad, la compasión, la misericordia, la justicia, la defensa de los pobres, la libertad y la dignidad humana; la solidaridad y la construcción de un país donde todos nos pudiéramos llamar hermanos y hermanas y vivir como tales.

Published: February 2022

O trabalho O emocional e a pandemia de Covid-19, tem como objetivo mostrar que a pandemia abalou as emoções de muitas pessoas, entre elas, as crianças e contribuiu para o aumento de doenças emocionais, como a ansiedade e a depressão, por exemplo, tendo destaque aqui, a ansiedade. Com o isolamento social, as pessoas ficaram presas em suas casas como medida para conter o contágio do vírus. Diante do caos, questiona-se: Até que ponto se tem estabilidade emocional? É comum as pessoas terem seguros de carro, seguro de vida, seguro da casa. Mas e o seguro das emoções, existe? Ainda não se ouviu falar, sabes por quê? Porque o emocional é controlado e equilibrado pelo próprio indivíduo, e a pandemia de Covid-19 desestabilizou a psique de muitos indivíduos. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa, com revisão bibliográfica. O estudo traz reflexões que ajudam a esclarecer o quão frágil o ser humano é, emocionalmente. E que o invisível, que é o vírus Sars-cov-2, levou muitas pessoas a procurarem ajuda psicológica, uma vez que a pandemia mudou rotinas.

Abstract. To expand the knowledge base on natural infrastructure for erosion
mitigation in the Andes, it is necessary to move beyond case by case empirical
studies to comprehensive assessments. This study reviews the state of
evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate soil erosion by
water and is based on Andean case studies published in gray and
peer-reviewed literature. Based on a systematic review of 118 case studies
from the Andes, this study addressed the following research questions. (1) Which erosion indicators allow us to assess the effectiveness of natural
infrastructure? (2) What is the overall impact of working with natural
infrastructure on on-site and off-site erosion mitigation? (3) Which
locations and types of studies are needed to fill critical gaps in knowledge
and research? Three major categories of natural infrastructure were considered:
restoration and protection of natural vegetation, such as forest or native
grasslands, forestation with native or exotic species and implementation of
soil and water conservation measures for erosion mitigation. From the suite
of physical, chemical and biological indicators commonly used in soil
erosion research, two indicators were particularly relevant: soil organic
carbon of topsoil and soil loss rates at plot scale. The protection and
conservation of natural vegetation has the strongest effect on soil quality,
with 3.01±0.893 times higher soil organic carbon content in the
topsoil compared to control sites. Soil quality improvements are significant
but lower for forestation and soil and water conservation measures. Soil and
water conservation measures reduce soil erosion to 62.1 % ± 9.2 %,
even though erosion mitigation is highest when natural vegetation is
maintained. Further research is needed to evaluate whether the reported
effectiveness holds during extreme events related to, for example, El
Niño–Southern Oscillation.

آثار الاتفاقيات الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية على إنتاج الماشية الحية و اللحوم السودانية (2004 م)‎
يعد السودان في مجموعة الدول الأقل نموا، حيث يعتمد اقتصاده على القطاع الزراعي (48% من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي) بينما يسهم قطاع الثروة الحيوانية بحوالي 40% من مساهمة القطاع الزراعي بالسودان.
إن أهم اتفاقيات جولة الأوروجواي لمفاوضات (الجات) 1986-1993 م هي الجوانب الزراعية، تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على الآثار المحتملة لتطبيق الإتفاقية الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية على القطاع الزراعي السوداني عامة و قطاع الثروةالحيوانية خاصة.
كما تتناول هذه الدراسة الآثار الناجمة عن تطبيق تلك الاتفاقية على قطاع الماشية الحية واللحوم السودانية، و ذلك بتسليط الضوء على بنود الإتفاقية الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية، مسح موارد الثروة الحيوانية بالسودان، توضيح العرض و الطلبعلى اللحوم السودانية و المسحوبات السنوية من الثروة الحيوانية، ثم سياسات و معوقات إنتاج اللحوم الحمراء بالسودان و أخيرا تحليل آثار تطبيق الاتفاقية على قطاع الثروة الحيوانية.
أهم نتائج هذه الدراسة تتلخص في الآتي : 1- ضعف مؤسسات التمويل لعمليات الإنتاج و الصادر في قطاع الثروة الحيوانية.
2- زيادة الطلب على اللحوم السودانية و الماشية الحية لجودتها و خلوها من الأمراض.
3- ضعف البنية الأساسية و الخدمات المساعدة في التسويق.
4- صعوبة تحديد متطلبات الأسواق الخارجية بالنسبة للحوم السودانية.
أهم التوصيات : 1- أهمية دور الإرشاد و البحوث في تغيير سلوك المنتج اقتصاديا.
2- تخفيف الضغط على الموارد الطبيعية و ذلك بزيادة المسحوبات السنوية من الثروة الحيوانية.
3- تحديد متطلبات الأسواق الخارجية من اللحوم السودانية.

The Impact of Long-Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation on Body Composition, Strength, and Power in Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Heileson Jeffery , Elliott Ashlyne , Buzzard Julie , Cholewinski Mitchell , Gallucci Andrew , Funderburk LesLee 
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Recent evidence suggests that long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC n-3) supplementation may enhance training adaptations associated with athletic performance. This study examined the impact of LC n-3 supplementation on body composition, strength, and power in collegiate athletes.
Methods: Athletes (n = 27) were assigned to one of two conditions for eight weeks: fish oil (FO, 3.0 g∙d-1 [1.75g EPA and 1.1g DHA], n = 15) or placebo (PL, high-oleic safflower oil, 3g, n = 12) for 8-weeks. Athletes completed a three-day food log and questionnaire, provided a blood sample via fingerstick to determine their LC n-3 status, conducted body composition analysis through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and had their handgrip strength (HGS) and countermovement jump assessed.
Results: In the FO group, the omega-3 index, EPA and DHA increased by 73%, 332% and 64%, respectively, while there was no change in the placebo group. HGS significantly improved in the FO group (p = .018, +9.1%) and did not change in the placebo group (p = .615, -1.8%). Body composition and power were similar between groups. The change in HGS was positively correlated with the relative change in EPA and EPA:AA ratio.
Conclusions: For in-season athletes, the addition of LC n-3 supplementation to a dietary regime increases blood LC n-3 status and may preserve or improve muscular performance while in-season.
