Assessment of Preferable Breeding Method Use and Related Limitations under Smallholder Dairy Farmers’ Conditions: A Case Study in Selected Districts Southern Highland Zone of Tanzania
Authors: Mwaipopo Lokoo Chubby , Mbaga Said H. 
Published: April 2022

A study was carried out to assess status and preference of smallholder dairy farmers on breeding method use under smallholder dairy cattle production in Southern Highland zone of Tanzania. Three districts namely Njombe, Mbeya and Mbozi were purposively selected for data collection. Data were collected using a questionnaire. A total of 180 dairy farmers in three districts were voluntary interviewed. Results showed that many of dairy farmers’ age range between 41 to 50 years (33%) of respondents, 48% of respondents (48.9%) had primary education, many farmers were found not to be working in groups (82.2%) and majority had never received any training on dairy husbandry (81.1%).
Zero grazing was the main management system (97.2%) used by farmers in all districts. Cows’ sheds were partially roofed, and the floors were soiled (48.9%). Mean dairy herd size was 5.21 per household and natural service was the predominant breeding method (55%) under smallholder farms production system. Farmers’ main reason for using AI was to improve genetic potential of their animal (48.8%). Under this system the major challenges of AI service were inefficient semen supply and poor heat detection. Natural services are widely used since it is easily accessible and cheaper. It therefore concluded that use of natural service is still a predominant method of choice in breeding due to unreliability and inefficiency associated with AI service in the Southern Highland zone of Tanzania.
Procesos de apropiación subjetiva del derecho a la Interrupción legal y voluntaria de embarazo (ILE/IVE) de mujeres que transitaron la práctica en Chubut
Authors: Espinoza Casanova Julieta 
Published: April 2022

Este artículo presenta los avances de una investigación que busca conocer los procesos de apropiación subjetiva del derecho a la interrupción legal y voluntaria del embarazo de mujeres que transitaron la práctica en el sistema de salud pública en la ciudad de Rawson, Chubut, en el marco de la ley provincial XV n 14 (ILE) y la nacional 27.610 (IVE).
Este estudio es de tipo cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo; de diseño flexible e inductivo, y utiliza como herramienta de construcción de datos entrevistas semi-estructuradas. El proceso reflexivo se inscribe en epistemologías feministas y se piensa desde una perspectiva psicosocial. Lo trabajado hasta el momento, permite pensar a la apropiación subjetiva del derecho a la ILE/IVE como un proceso constituidos por múltiples aristas. En el mismo se entraman tensiones entre la legalidad de esta práctica y lo socialmente legitimado de ella; hecho que se hace visible a través de los propios posicionamientos de las mujeres como sujetas que se reconocen titulares de este derecho; de las polifonías de voces presentes en esas construcciones y en los sentires sobre su experiencia, adquiriendo significatividad la dimensión de género. El propósito de la investigación es aportar elementos para conocer los modos en que la interrupción legal y voluntaria del embarazo adquiere realidad en el plano de las subjetividades, aportando insumos no sólo a la implementación de la política pública, sino también a la construcción de posiciones éticas ciudadanas desde las cuales ser sujetas con y de derecho.

Published: April 2022

Badania prowadzono w doświadczalnym sadzie jabłoniowym na glebie płowej typowej wytworzonej z utworu pyłowego. Porównano następujące metody pielęgnacji gleby w rzędach drzew: ugór herbicydowy utrzymywany za pomocą simaziny (Azotopu), ugór herbicydowy utrzymywany za pomocą glifosatu (Roundupu 360SL) i ugór mechaniczny utrzymywany ręcznym gracowaniem. Wyniki badań wykazały, że ugory herbicydowe utrzymywane za pomocą Azotopu i Roundupu nie spowodowały pogorszenia właściwości wodnych w poziomach Ap i Bt gleby płowej wytworzonej z utworu pyłowego. Polowa pojemność wodna i retencja wody użytecznej dla roślin w glebie pod ugorami herbicydowymi były bardzo korzystne, zbliżone do właściwości gleby pod ugorem mechanicznym, lub nawet większe. Także przewodnictwo wodne nasycone gleby pod ugorami herbicydowymi było zbliżone do przewodnictwa wodnego gleby pod ugorem mechanicznym.
Charakterystyka pokrywy śnieżnej w Obserwatorium Agrometeorologicznym w Felinie (1955/1956–2004/2005)
Authors: Bartoszek Krzysztof 
Published: April 2022

Liczba dni z pokrywą śnieżną w Felinie charakteryzuje się dużą zmiennością z roku na rok. Uwagę zwracają śnieżne zimy lat 60. i mało śnieżne z pierwszej połowy lat 70. oraz końca lat 80 XX w. Średnia liczba dni z pokrywą śnieżną w Felinie wynosi 68, największe prawdopodobieństwo jej zalegania (78%) przypada na przełom stycznia i lutego, a największą grubość obserwuje się zwykle pod koniec lutego. Przeciętnie pierwszy dzień z pokrywą śnieżną pojawia się wraz z końcem listopada, a ostatni w trzeciej dekadzie marca. Rzadkością w analizowanym wieloleciu były przypadki, gdy pokrywa zalegała bez przerwy dłużej aniżeli 70 dni. Na podstawie typologii cyrkulacji Hessa-Brezowsky’ego stwierdzono, iż w najbardziej śnieżnych zimach w Felinie długie zaleganie pokrywy śnieżnej było skutkiem zwiększonej częstości występowania południkowych form cyrkulacji oraz układów wysokiego ciśnienia nad Europą Środkowo-Wschodnią. Z kolei w najmniej śnieżnych zimach dominowały strefowe formy cyrkulacji, czego odzwierciedleniem była większa częstość wędrujących niżów nad Morzem Bałtyckim.

Published: April 2022

The paper presents results of research on the meadows of the Bug River Valley, in the Skryhiczyn-Dubienka section. The study mainly concerned the geochemical variability of soils and meadow vegetation. In 1999, 14 soil pits were made in hay-growing fragments of the meadows, with 42 samples collected for laboratory tests. At the same points, samples (14) of the vegetation (hay, 1st swath) were collected. In the collected material (soil, hay), the total content of P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb was assayed with the method developed by Sapek & Sapek (1997). Moreover, in the soil samples, pH in H2O and KCl was assayed electrometrically and the Corganic content was determined with the Tiurin method, CaCO3 – using the Scheibler apparatus. The examined meadow soils of the Bug River Valley make at present a differentiated typological mosaic of valley soils (humus muds, black earths, bog soils) at various stages of development (degradation) and geochemical variability. The above scheme has been proved to a significant extent by the laboratory test results. This applies in particular to the differentiated humus content (2–5% of C-organ.), variability or a total absence of CaCO3 (0–6%) and progressing soil acidification (pH 5.4–7.4). Wherever there are volumes of organic substance, exchangeable alkalis are sufficient and pH is high, P, Ca, Mg, Fe and some microelements (Cu, Zn, Pb) are more intensively absorbed in the soil. Under conditions of scarcity of alkaline components (Ca) and progressing acidification, most components are activated and washed deep into the profile. This applies in particular to alkaline components and iron.
Monovalent elements (K, Na), as well as some other, more mobile ones, are poorly absorbed, especially in humus soil, but easily collected by plants or transported by water deep into the profile.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Bromus sterilis seed burying, different day/night temperatures and also different water pH of the subsoil on B. sterilis germination. Moreover, the weed thresholds in winter wheat cultivation were defined in these studies. B. sterilis become a serious problem in winter sown cereals and therefore the studies connected with the weed distribution and weed biology are necessary.
Results show that B. sterilis seeds buried at the 1.5 cm depth were characterized by the best and the earliest germination. Strong reduction of B. sterilis seeds germination was observed at the 10 cm depth seed burying. Range of tested day/night temperatures and water pH did not affect the seeds germination; however, differentiated speed of this process was observed. Increasing B. sterilis infestation has a significant effect on such parameters as ears number per sq. m., weight of 1000 grains and winter wheat grain yield.
Produkcja biomasy przez Chenopodium album L. w jęczmieniu jarym odchwaszczanym chemicznie zredukowanymi i zalecanymi dawkami herbicydów
Authors: KRAWCZYK ROMAN 
Published: April 2022

The aim of the work was to determine the influence of reduced doses herbicide and spring barley density on seed and biomass production of Chenopodium album L. The field experiments were carried out in the years 2000, 2002–2003 on podsolic soil made from heavy loamy sand. There were two factors in the experimental scheme: I. Seeding rate of spring barley (200, 100 seeds m-2), II. Herbicide rate and time of herbicide application. Herbicides were applied at the recommended rate (3/3) and at 2/3 and 1/3 of the recommended dose. Three doses of herbicides were applied at the beginning of tillering (BBCH 21) and at the end of tillering of spring barley (BBCH 29). Competition between spring barley and Chenopodium album L. was studied in two experiments. The first field experiment was carried out with tribenuron methyl (Granstar 75 WG) and the second one with a mixture of mecoprop + MCPA + dicamba (Chwastox Trio 540 SL). Herbicides were applied at the recommended rate (3/3) and at 2/3 and 1/3 of the recommended dose. Weed biomass and seed production of Chenopodium album was reduced when spring barley was sown with the higher seeding rate. The average seed mass on the untreated plots was higher at low crop density (88.5 g·m-2) than the seed mass at optimal density of spring barley (44.4 g·m-2).
Reduction of Chenopodium album seeds production was observed after application of herbicides at the BBCH 21 of compared spring barley with the late application. Chenopodium album seed mass collected from the plots treated with mecoprop + MCPA + dicamba was higher than the mass collected from the plots treated with tribenuron methyl.
Wpływ terminu zakładania plantacji i odmładzającego przeorywania oraz stosowania Asahi SL w uprawie mięty pieprzowej
Authors: Kołodziej Barbara 
Published: April 2022

Celem trzyletniego doświadczenia polowego ulokowanego na glebie lessowej było zbadanie wpływu terminu zakładania plantacji i stosowania Asahi SL (Atoniku SL) na plony i jakość surowca Mentha × piperita L. W eksperymencie porównywano dwa terminy zakładania lub odmładzającego przeorywania plantacji (jesienny – X i wiosenny – IV) oraz efekty stosowania wykonywanego dwukrotnie w ciągu roku oprysku 0,1% Asahi SL. Otrzymane wyniki wskazują, że do zakładania plantacji z równym powodzeniem można stosować obydwa porównywane terminy zakładania, a w dalszych latach uprawy odmładzające przeorywania plantacji. Naturalny regulator wzrostu – Asahi SL sprzyja natomiast zwiększeniu zarówno zawartości olejku eterycznego, jak i plonów surowca, a zatem może być polecany w uprawie mięty pieprzowej.
Wpływ stosowania wybranych nawozów dolistnych na plono-wanie żmijowca babkowatego (Echium plantagineum L.)
Authors: Król Beata 
Published: April 2022

W dwuletnim doświadczeniu polowym oceniano wpływ stosowania wybranych nawozów dolistnych (Insol 5, Mikrosol U, Agrosol R, Ekolist S) oraz regulatora wzrostu Asahi SL na plonowanie żmijowca babkowatego (Echium plantagineum L.). Zastosowane nawozy dolistne wpłynęły korzystnie na wysokość roślin oraz stymulowały tworzenie pędów bocznych i masy nadziemnej. Spośród badanych preparatów jedynie Asahi SL spowodował znaczny wzrost plonowania nasion, natomiast pozostałe nawozy dolistne nie wykazały istotnego wpływu na plony żmijowca. Stwierdzano nieznaczne obniżenie zawartości tłuszczu w nasionach żmijowca pod wpływem dokarmiania dolistnego.
Podcasting about yourself and challenging norms: An investigation of independent women podcasters in Denmark
Authors: Adler Berg Freja Sørine 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis article investigates why and how women use independent podcasting and social media platforms to challenge norms afflicting their own personal lives. Extending previous studies of independent podcasting as a tool of empowerment, this article analyses semi-structured interviews with the hosts of two podcasts: the mental health and personal journals podcastA Seat at The Tableand the parenting podcastOur Different Family[Vores Anderledes Familie]. The podcasts are norm-challenging but, at the same time, illustrative of a gendered podcasting sphere in which women primarily podcast about what has traditionally been considered female domains, such as mental health, personal journals, and parenting. The study finds that podcasting’s lack of visuals and unrestricted, conversational format allow for creating and distributing in-depth realisations about personal norm-challenging issues. Simultaneously, it finds that the participatory affordances of social media platforms are essential for receiving feedback, content ideas, and emotional support from like-minded listeners when the podcasters challenge oppressive norms.

Published: April 2022

Abstract

Background: Improved prognosis and delay of clinical complications in diabetes mellitus can be ensured by early screening and regular monitoring after diagnosis. This requires venipuncture at regular intervals of time causing anxiety and discomfort to the patient. Hence, development of a painless, non-invasive procedure is desirable for which saliva is a potential tool. Also, this would provide easy and cost-effective means for large scale screening and epidemiological intervention.

Aim: To measure fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and compare and correlate with salivary glucose levels in normal and diabetic individuals. Also, the correlation between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and salivary glucose is studied in the diabetics and controls.

Methods: Blood and salivary glucose was estimated by GOD-POD method and glycated hemoglobin by HPLC. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS 16. Mean, Standard deviation, independent t test, ANOVA (f test), Pearson’s correlation coefficient along with regression analysis was carried out and comparison was done between the control and diabetic groups and the different subgroups within the diabetic group.

Results: A significant difference between the salivary glucose levels in subjects indicating that a deranged glycemic status is reflected in saliva. Also, salivary glucose increases in proportion to an increase in the FPG and HbA1C of the diabetics. The regression coefficient was calculated and a formula was derived for prediction of FPG and HbA1c using salivary glucose.

Conclusion: Saliva can be used as a screening tool for diabetes. Standardization of the technique and setting up a reference range will also make it useful in diagnosing diabetes mellitus.

AbstractThis aim of this study was to identify potential factors associated with survival in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19). This study was designed as a case series. It included patients hospitalized in Clinical Centre Kragujevac between March 10, 2020, and June 15, 2020, due to COVID-19. Variables with significant influence on the cure of patients were identified by multivariate logistic regression. A total of 234 patients were included. The average age of the patients was 57.2 ± 15.8 years. Thirty-five patients died (15.0%) and 199 (85.0%) were discharged as completely cured and with the sustained virological response.The study variables with significant influence (expressed as odds ratio – OR) on cure of COVID-19 patients after adjustment for effects of other variables were: stay in an intensive care unit – ICU (OR = 0.007; 95% confidence interval – CI 0.001 – 0.086; p = 0.000), previous hospitalization (OR = 7.802; 95% CI 1.198 – 50.924; p = 0.032), increased body temperature on admission (OR = 0.004; 95% CI 0.000 – 0.771; p = 0.040), higher score of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR = 0.428; 95% CI 0.235 – 0.780; p = 0.006), and increased values of C-reactive protein (CRP) serum level (OR = 0.978; 95% CI 0.966 – 0.990; p = 0.000). In conclusion, clinicians should pay attention to patients with high body temperature at admission, presence of multiple comorbidities, high CRP, and patients who stay in an ICU, considering that they could be at risk for fatal outcome.

El cultivo del maíz (Zea mays), es uno de los más investigados en el mundo y cada año el potencial productivo de los cultivares ha aumentado. Sin embargo, en varios países el rendimiento medio está todavía muy por debajo de lo que se puede producir. La cinta roja es una enfermedad causada por patógenos específicamente por el micoplasma, espiroplasma y virus los mismos que los transmite un insecto vector conocido como la cigarrita (Dalbulus maidis) del orden homóptero, los agricultores han venido realizando sus controles por años con insecticidas convencionales, tales como cipermetrina, clorpirifos, malathion. No existe ningún tipo de control a la hora de aplicar en los cultivos de maíz. El objetivo ha sido evaluar la aplicación de insecticidas químicos en el control del vector de cinta roja (Spiroplasma kunkelii), valorando las características agronómicas del cultivo de maíz, en base a los tratamientos de estudio y determinando el insecticida más eficiente en el control del vector de la enfermedad. La investigación fue de tipo experimental con enfoque investigativo de campo, con diseño experimental, con el propósito de validar el mejor tratamiento para el control del vector de la cinta roja. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el tratamiento aplicado, con tres frecuencias de aplicación reduce el ataque del insecto trasmisor del virus causante de la cinta roja, obteniendo el mayor rendimiento por hectáreas de 7834kg/ha. Se concluyó que en la altura de planta, inserción de mazorca, longitud de mazorca no se encontró diferencia significativa entre los tratamientos.
She Rages on History's Pages
Authors: Brown Shannon 
Published: April 2022

The history of women’s rage is a long, tired, and tediously unheard one. By analyzing media demonstrations of women’s rage from history to contemporary time, this paper explores the performances of women’s anger as demonstrations of empowerment and repudiation against structures upheld to methodically invalidate and undermine women’s experiences, knowledge, and embodied rising power. From the written word to music, women’s rage contains a deep well of information and lived stories. Therefore, the disregarding of that anger is the disregarding of knowledge, realities, and much-needed voice. More than that, the disregarding of women’s anger is also the destruction of powerful acts of simultaneous strength and vulnerability. The statements in this paper stand to demonstrate that women’s rage must be allowed room to spark, breathe, and ignite – from the carefully orchestrated speeches to the raw and unruly fury that comes from every walk of life. Throughout history, the rage of women has been speaking prominently, and it must be heard.

Published: April 2022

Ao escolher como tema principal da assembléia de Puebla A evangelização no presente e no futuro da América Latina, não poderia passar despercebido aos bispos da América Latina o significado que a religiosidade popular ocupa dentro dessa problemática básica. Estas notas querem oferecer alguns subsídios para a reflexão sobre esse tema, aliás de amplitude muito vasta.
Serão, pois, apresentados alguns elementos que permitam a análise do conceito de religiosidade popular, bem como assinalar sua importância, tanto por seus valores como por suas limitações. Em seguida serão feitas algumas considerações sobre as perspectivas pastorais provocadas pela religiosidade popular: ver-se-á de um lado o risco da volta ao ideal de Cristandade, e por outro lado a necessidade de formar comunidades eclesiais de base, como lugar de diálogo entre a Igreja institucional e o catolicismo do povo. Por último, serão indicadas algumas das perspectivas de questionamento e de esperança que a religiosidade popular oferece à Igreja na América Latina.
