Empowering Amazonian Communities: The Importance of Participatory Planning and Local Knowledge in Agroforest Systems

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Agroforestry systems (AFS) represent an alternative production method for family farmers, allowing for the optimization of land use through product diversity and income generation. Considering that the socioeconomic condition of floodplain communities is based on extractive economies and that the implementation of intercropped crops should be done in a participatory and constructive manner, this work aims to report an experience emphasizing the steps and main tools adopted in the planning and establishment of an AFS. The fieldwork was conducted in the community of Ipaupixuna, in the floodplain region of Lake Maic´ a, municipality of Santar´em, Par´ a, Brazil. The actions of this work were concentrated between February and October 2019, as part of the research project ”Floodplains and Riverbanks of the Lower Amazon.” The main tools used in this work were a systemic approach with the community of Ipaupixuna, which sought to understand the environment and its interactions, through various stages such as mapping, workshops, interviews, planning, area preparation, and logistical organization for implementation. The actions and results of the project showed that participatory planning and community knowledge are crucial for the successful establishment of an AFS in communities. It was concluded that the community embraced the intercropping project and showed interest and collaboration in the activities carried out. This work reinforces the need to consider resources and tools for the necessary mapping and development of appropriate agroforestry designs for producers in similar initiatives.
Effects of electrode configuration and geometry on fiber preference in spinal cord stimulation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In contrast to the widespread assumption that dorsal column fibers are the primary targets of spinal cord stimulation by a dorsal epidural electrode, it appears that dorsal root fibers are recruited as well, and even preferentially under various conditions. This will, however, limit the coverage of the painful body areas with paresthesia, a prerequisite for the management of chronic pain. In order to favor the preferential stimulation of dorsal column fibers, advantage was taken of the different positions and orientations of fibers in the dorsal columns and dorsal roots. Using an SCS computer model, electrode configurations have been designed for the selective stimulation of the human dorsal columns
Dynamic Hip Screw Blade Fixation for Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose. To assess the one-year outcome of a dynamic hip screw (DHS) blade in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A1 and 31-A2 intertrochanteric hip fractures. Methods. 35 men and 65 women aged 47 to 100 (mean, 83) years underwent fixation with a DHS blade for A1 (n=47) and A2 (n=53) intertrochanteric hip fractures after a low-energy injury. Patients were operated on within 48 hours of admission. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were examined for the tip-apex distance and femoral shortening. Potential complications were looked for, including implant migration, cut-out, loosening, or breakage. Functional outcome was based on the Parker mobility score. Results. The 30-day and one-year mortality rates were 5% and 20%, respectively. At the one-year followup, 81 patients were available, and all fractures had healed without varus deformity. The mean tip-apex distance was 14.1 (range, 5.7–31.1; SD, 4.3) mm. The mean femoral shortening was 4.9 (range, 0–20.2; SD, 4.8) mm. The mean Parker score decreased to 3.8 at one-year follow-up from 5.9 before injury (p<0.001). There was one loss of fixation secondary to a nontraumatic subcapital fracture at 3 months, for which a bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed. Conclusion. The DHS blade system is effective in treating AO/OTA 31-A1 and 31-A2 intertrochanteric hip fractures and results in a low complication rate.

EFFECT OF MANURIAL RESIDUES ON BARLEY

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Barley was grown on plots which had carried potatoes in the 26 years prior to 1901, and which had received no fertilizer since that date. Ammonium sulphate was applied during the war years, and yields of SO bushels per acre were obtained from plots which had received superphosphate or dung annually for many years before 1901, Control plots, which had not received superphosphate when potatoes were being grown, gave yields of 20–25 bushels per acre. Barley can thus benefit from the residual effect of phosphates in certain types of soil, after a lapse of nearly 50 years.
EFFECT OF MODE OF APPLICATION AND SOURCE OF FERTILIZER ON PHOSPHORUS UTILIZATION BY BUCKWHEAT, RAPE, OATS AND FLAX

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In greenhouse experiments, the utilization of fertilizer phosphorus by crops grown on calcareous soils decreased in the order of buckwheat > rape >> oats > flax. Mixing monopotassium phosphate with a portion of the soil compared with adding this source as a single pellet increased the availability of fertilizer phosphorus to oats and flax. In contrast, mixing the phosphorus source with the soil either had no effect or lessened the availability of fertilizer phosphorus to rape and buckwheat. Availability of phosphorus from carriers, when added as pellets, decreased in the order dipotassium phosphate > monopotassium phosphate > dicalcium phosphate dihydrate for oats and flax and dipotassium phosphate = monopotassium phosphate > dicalcium phosphate dihydrate for buckwheat and rape.It is suggested that both the quantity of roots in the fertilizer reaction zone and the efficiency of roots in absorbing phosphorus are important factors in the ability of plants to absorb fertilizer phosphorus.

Faking it or hating it: can reflective practice be forced?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Many course providers in a variety of fields have chosen to include a required reflective practice assignment for purposes of instilling a spirit of professional development. However, the very notion of forced and evaluated self-exploration raises certain moral and practical issues that cannot be avoided. Relying on recent research at a Trinity College London TESOL Certificate course where course participants were required to complete a teaching practice journal, this article examines the problematic nature of required reflective practice, namely, that requiring individuals to be open and honest in the context of assessment tends to provoke strategic response and often hostility. These reactions, documented in other research as well, point to an underlying problem with any required reflection that has serious implications for teacher education as well as any other field that employs forced reflection.
The criticality of cocoa- how environmental intelligence and open data can avert the current crisis and establish greater resilience in cocoa supply chains

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract

This research investigates cocoa (Thebroma cacao) supply from the global primary producers. The research examines long-term precipitation and vegetation index data to understand the reasons for change in production that have impacted the global supply of cocoa. This analysis aims to inform strategic decisions for countries like the UK, which relies on the supply of many sub-tropical and tropical crop products. The need for climate-smart production in Côte d'Ivoire is a priority for confectionery and chocolate manufacturers in the UK. The research reported uses long-term precipitation and vegetation index data to assess why and how production changes have changed global supply and highlights that the initial impacts of climate change for food supply may well be seen first for luxury products such as chocolate. These are products that are supplied for the value of taste and food experience. The global food system depends on these ingredients from tropical and subtropical regions, where environmental degradation is being acutely impacted by climate change, political disruption, and financial pressures placed on producers. This research highlights these products needing climate-smart farming to improve resilience in response to climate change.
Assessment of National Board for Technical Education on Skill Acquisition among Technical School Leavers in Osun State

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study examined the contributions of National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) programmes towards enhancing acquisition of skills among youth in Osun State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population for this study comprised 12 technical schools across the three Federal Constituencies in Osun State. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to group the schools. From each senatorial district, one Local Government Area (LGA) with Technical College was purposively selected. In each LGA, one Technical College was selected using simple random sampling technique. In each school, total enumeration sampling technique was used to select all top management in the chosen school to make a total of 15 top management team members. Also 150 stakeholders in Technical schools were selected using convenience sampling technique at 50 participants per senatorial district. Two self-designed research instruments titled: ‘’Technical Education and Skill Acquisition Questionnaire (TESA-Q) and Stakeholders’ Perception Questionnaire (SP-Q)”. Mean and standard deviation of descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that NBTE had contributed towards enhancing acquisition of skills among school leavers in Osun State through the introduction, implementation and evaluation of relevant policies in technical education schools.

Attachment, trust, and satisfaction in relationships: Investigating actor, partner, and mediating effects

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Romantic relationship dissatisfaction has been cited as a primary reason for seeking mental health services (H. M. Foran, M. A. Whisman, & S. R. H. Beach, 2015). An increasing number of studies have revealed the importance of romantic attachment in understanding relationship satisfaction (M. Mikulincer & P. R. Shaver, 2016). This study aims to assess dyadic trust as a possible mediator of the relation between insecure romantic attachment and relationship satisfaction within a Canadian community sample of 199 heterosexual couples. Results revealed significant actor and partner effects. Specifically, male and female attachment avoidance, as well as male attachment anxiety, predicted lower dyadic trust, which in turn predicted lower relationship satisfaction. These results add to the current literature, suggesting important gender differences in the effects attachment has on overall relationship satisfaction.
Feasibility and safety of laparoscopic portal vein ligation prior to major hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) demonstrated to have an inadequate future liver remnant (FLR) on preoperative volumetric assessment are potential candidates for laparoscopic portal vein ligation (LPVL). Previous studies have reported that for patients with hepatic malignancies, laparoscopic portal vein ligation (LPVL) is efficient in increasing FLR, which, however, has not been solely reported in HCC. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficiency of LPVL prior to major hepatectomy for patients with HCC. Methods: Clinical information of HCC patients who had undergone laparoscopic portal vein ligation (LPVL) at our center was retrospectively reviewed and documented. Demographic, radiographic, clinical and volumetric details (both before and after LPVL) were retrieved to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LPVL prior to major hepatectomy for HCC. Results: Between April 2020 and December 2021, there were a total of 10 HCC patients undergoing LPVL as a preparation for subsequent major hepatectomy at our center. The mean age of these 10 patients was 61.30±8.83 years old. Of these 10 patients, 9 were male and only 1 was female. 9 patients underwent laparoscopic ligation of the right portal vein and one the left portal vein. All the patients , left or right portal veins were ligated by clips. After LPVL, the mean volume increased from 433.16±103.64 ml to 550.62±123.19 ml (P＜0.001）. All the 10 patients had adequate hypertrophy of FLR and subsequent major hepatectomy was performed as scheduled. No LPVL-associated complications were recorded. Conclusion: LPVL is both feasible and could be safely performed. For carefully selected patients, LPVL could be considered as a safe and feasible alternative to portal vein embolization (PVE) given the rather low complication rate and high efficiency of LPVL.
COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF ESSENTIAL OIL PRUNUS PERSICA VAR. NECTARINA GROWING IN UZBEKI-STAN

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The article presents the results of determining the composition of essential oils of Prunus persica var. nectarina varieties "yellow nectarine" – "sariк luchchak (uzb.) ", growing in two regions of the Ferghana region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The pale yellow essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation from un-dried fresh leaves of plants. The oil composition was determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry on an Agilent 7890 AGC 6890 N gas chromotograph with a quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent 5975C inert MSD) as a detector on an HP-5 MS quartz capillary column. An essential oil of pale yellow color was isolated from the leaves of plants. In the composition of essential oils, 56 and 61 compounds were identified in the first and second samples, respectively, wich is 94.55 and 96.00% of the total components. The dominant components of the first saple are camphor bicyclic monoterpene ketones (24.21%), α-thujone (15.00%) and β-thujone (4.27%), aromatic aldehyde benzaldehyde (18.83%) and isobornoleol bicyclic monoterpene alcohol (6.17%). In the second sample, bicyclic monoterpenic ketones (camphor) (36.67%), α-thujone (21.81%) and β-thujone (7.06%) and bicyclic monoterpene alcohol isobornoleol (9.4%) predominate and monocyclic unsaturated monoterpene α-terpinene (2.18%). In both samples, (+)-2-bornanone (camphor) is predominant. The studied variety Prunus persica var. nectarina can serve as a raw material for the production of essential oil, the main components of which are camphor and isobornoleol.

Internal control is necessary to determine the correct amount of salary and wages paid to the laborer and is guaranteed that the salary and wages paid to the workers who are entitled to receive it, in addition to preventing the payment of salaries and wages to fictitious workers or the amount of salary paid is too large or incorrect. The purpose of this research is to partially and partially determine the role of organizational structure, authority system and recording procedures, and healthy practices affect payroll and wage accounting systems. The population in this study is the entire workforce PT Ardian Mulia Perkasa with a total of 39 people (based on the number of workers in early 2021), so the number of samples in this study is also as many as 39 people. The sampling method in this study used a saturated sample technique in which the entire population was used for the sample. The role of elements of organizational structure, system of authority and recording procedures, as well as healthy practices simultaneously affect the payroll accounting system and wages. This is evidenced by the results of the study that the value of significance is smaller than the level of 5% (0.000 < 0.05) and the value of F hitung is greater than the value of Ftabel (22,446 > 2.87) and the contribution of influence to the payroll accounting system and wages of 62.9% while the remaining 27.1% is influenced by other factors that are not studied. Researchers are very grateful to the company and the parties who provide the data and time to be completed on time.
The effect of product attributes, brand awareness and product knowledge on consumers - A case of Air Jordan retro shoes

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In recent years, many companies have started to launch “retro” edition products. This study introduces Air Jordan retro shoes as the experimental case and uses a questionnaire survey to determine whether the product attributes and brand awareness have influence on consumers. In addition, we consider product knowledge as a moderator to examine whether product knowledge has a moderating effect between the two independent variables (product attributes and brand awareness) and consumers. The results of this study are, as follows: 1. Regarding product attributes, expressive performance can make consumers have higher purchase intention and perceived value than instrumental performance. 2. Brand awareness has a significantly positive relation with purchase intention and perceived value. 3. Product knowledge has no moderating effect between product attributes and consumers. 4. Product knowledge has no moderating effect between brand awareness and consumers.
Discovery of a Chlorophyll Binding Protein Complex Involved in the Early Steps of Photosystem II Assembly in Synechocystis

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Efficient assembly and repair of the oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PSII) complex is vital for maintaining photosynthetic activity in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. How chlorophyll is delivered to PSII during assembly and how vulnerable assembly complexes are protected from photodamage are unknown. Here, we identify a chlorophyll and β-carotene binding protein complex in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 important for formation of the D1/D2 reaction center assembly complex. It is composed of putative short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase Ycf39, encoded by the slr0399 gene, and two members of the high-light-inducible protein (Hlip) family, HliC and HliD, which are small membrane proteins related to the light-harvesting chlorophyll binding complexes found in plants. Perturbed chlorophyll recycling in a Ycf39-null mutant and copurification of chlorophyll synthase and unassembled D1 with the Ycf39-Hlip complex indicate a role in the delivery of chlorophyll to newly synthesized D1. Sequence similarities suggest the presence of a related complex in chloroplasts.
Effect of temperature on the structure of Cu/Si composite Janus nanoparticles

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This work determined the effect of temperature on the formation of composite Cu/Si nanoparticles by the molecular dynamics (MD) method. For the first time, the temperature dependence of the potential energy of hybrid nanoparticles, which were single-crystal spherical clusters cut from an ideal lattice, was studied. It is shown that phase transitions and structural ordering cause a sharp change in the potential energy of composite nanoparticles. The structural arrangement of copper nanoparticles at high temperatures was found.
The Incidence of Leukemia in Radiologists

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

EXPOSURE to x-rays has for some time been regarded as a possible cause of leukemia. This belief is based in part on results obtained by experimental exposure of animals to x-rays1 2 3 4 and in part on several reports of cases of leukemia occurring in workers exposed to radiation.5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Definite proof of such an etiologic relation has not been established, however, and some authors have expressed doubt concerning it. Thus, Evans and Roberts8 stated in 1928, after a review of the literature to that date, "Although the possibility of causal association cannot positively be denied, the evidence is not conclusive."

Physcion and Physcion 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside: Natural Anthraquinones with Potential Anticancer Activities

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Nature has provided prodigious reservoirs of pharmacologically active compounds for drug development since times.Physcion and physcion 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (PG) are bioactive natural anthraquinones which exert anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties with minimum or no adverse effects.Moreover, physcion also exhibits anti-microbial and hepatoprotective properties while PG is known to have anti-sepsis as well as ameliorative activities against dementia.This review aims to highlight the natural sources and anti-cancer activities of physcion and PG along with associated mechanisms of actions.On the basis of the literature, physcion and PG regulate multitudinous cell signaling pathways through the modulation of various regulators of cell cycle, protein kinases, microRNAs, transcriptional factors, and apoptosis linked proteins resulting in the effective killing of cancerous cells in vitro as well as in vivo.Both compounds effectively suppress metastasis, furthermore, physcion acts as inhibitor of 6PGD and also play an important role in chemosensitization.This review article suggests that physcion and PG are potent anti-cancer drug candidates but further investigations on their mechanism of action and pre-clinical trials are mandatory in order to comprehend the full potential of these natural cancer killers in anti-cancer remedies.
