The aim of the research is allelic identifi cation of the genes Vrn A1, Vrn B1, Vrn B3, and Vrn D1 in 18 spring wheat samples and 3 lines obtained from winter-spring cross combinations with high carotenoid grain content for winter wheat breeding program. The content of carotenoid pigments in the grain ranged from 0.20 to 8.3 mg/100 g in the analyzed 143 samples of soft wheat. Samples of spring wheat were identifi ed for high content of carotenoids (more than 4.5 mg/100 g of flour): Volgouralskaya, Kinelskaya 61, Lutescens 540, Lutescens 598, Lutescens 575, Lutescens 516, Kinelskaya 2010, Omskaya 41. According to the studies, the presence of the Vrn-A1 allele established in 4 spring wheat samples (Sibiryachka 4, Frontana, Izolda, Dynastiya). The heterozygous state of the Vrn-A1 gene was determined for the Saratovskaya Zolotistaya variety. The presence of the allele Vrn-B1 was identifi ed in the samples Fora, Leningradka, Izolda, Saratovskaya Zolotistaya, Omskiy Tsirkon, Omskaya 41, Lutescens 540. For the samples Lutescens 516, L224-5 the heterozygous state of the locus Vrn-B1was determined. Analysis of the Vrn-B3 gene confi rmed the presence of the Vrn-B3 allele in all tested samples. Only variety Dynastiya carried a dominant allele. The Vrn-D1 gene was identifi ed in a recessive state in samples Fora, Sibiryachka 4, Novosibirskaya 22, Frontana, Leningradka, Kinelskaya 2010, Kinelskaya 61, Volgouralskaya, Omskaya 41, Lutescens 516, Lutescens 540, Lutescens 598, L224–5. In the variety Omskiy Tsircon gene Vrn-D1 was in a heterozygous state. The use of spring carriers of the trait – Samples Omskaya 41 and Lutescens 540, with one dominant gene Vrn-A1, and Lutescens 516, with the dominant allele of the gene Vrn-A1 and polymorphic in the Vrn B1 gene – were the most promising for the winter wheat breeding in the direction of increasing the carotenoids content in flour. Key words: bread wheat, variety, line, vernalization, carotenoids, genes Vrn A1, Vrn B1, Vrn B3, Vrn D1.

Abstract The planting material, environmental conditions, and agricultural practices determine the oil palm performance. This research aimed to observe the performance of three oil palm varieties produced by IOPRI in Adolina Estate, Serdang Bedagai, North Sumatra. Adolina Estate is located on the eastern part and has a distinctive equatorial rainfall type with a sandy clay loam soil texture. The DyP Dumpy, DxP PPKS 540, and DxP Langkat varieties have been planted since 2010 in the same block with similar soil conditions and agricultural practices with total samples of 101, 147, and 124 trees, respectively. The growth parameters were height, length of rachis, petiole cross-section (PCS), and leaf area (LA), while the production parameters observed included the average bunch number, bunch weight, and yield. The results showed that DyP Dumpy had the slowest height growth with the most extended rachis length. DxP PPKS 540 has the highest average of PCS and LA, while the DxP Langkat had the fastest height growth and shortest rachis length. Furthermore, the DxP PPKS 540 variety produced the highest average yield, 24.85 tons ha−1, while DyP Dumpy and DxP Langkat have 23.19 tons ha−1 and 23.95 tons ha−1, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
The construct ofentrapmentis used in evolutionary theory to explain the etiology of depression. The perception of entrapment can emerge when defeated individuals want to escape but are incapable. Studies have shown relationships of entrapment to depression, and suicidal tendencies. The aim of this study was a psychometric evaluation and validation of the Entrapment Scale in German (ES-D). 540 normal subjects completed the ES-D along with other measures of depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and distress. Good reliability and validity of the ES-D was demonstrated. Further, whereas entrapment originally has been regarded as a two-dimensional construct, our analyses supported a single-factor model. Entrapment explained variance in depressive symptoms beyond that explained by stress and hopelessness supporting the relevance of the construct for depression research. These findings are discussed with regard to their theoretical implications as well as to the future use of the entrapment scale in clinical research and practice.

Full textAbstract:
We present the results of photometric observations of a dynamically new comet C/2010 S1 (LINEAR), conducted on June 18, 2012. The comet demonstrated a considerable level of physical activity at a heliocentric distance of 6.3 AU. The brightness, measured under a phase angle of 8.9 degrees, was equal to 14.55m ± 0.06m and 14.21m ± 0.04 m in V- and R-bands, respectively. The brightness distribution over the coma was found to be inversely proportional to the projected onto the sky plane nucleocentric distance, with a slope of approximately −1. Therefore, the calculated Afρ parameter, approximately 8400 cm and 8200 cm for V and R filters, respectively, was used to estimate the dust production rate. Assuming a steady outflow of dust particles from the nucleus, the dust production rate was estimated to be between 20 and 60 kg/s, depending on the assumed value of the grain's albedo. The V-R colour index obtained from the near-nucleus region of the coma is in agreement with the solar V-R colour index, and does not indicate significant reddening of the reflected solar radiation in the spectral region of 540-683 nm.

Full textAbstract:
Adenovirus infection can cause various illnesses depending on the infecting serotype, such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and rash illness, but the infection mechanism is still unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNA) have been reported to play essential roles in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and pathogenesis of human diseases including viral infections. We analyzed the miRNA expression profiles from adenovirus type 3 (AD3) infected Human laryngeal epithelial (Hep2) cells using a SOLiD deep sequencing. 492 precursor miRNAs were identified in the AD3 infected Hep2 cells, and 540 precursor miRNAs were identified in the control. A total of 44 miRNAs demonstrated high expression and 36 miRNAs showed lower expression in the AD3 infected cells than control. The biogenesis of miRNAs has been analyzed, and some of the SOLiD results were confirmed by Quantitative PCR analysis. The present studies may provide a useful clue for the biological function research into AD3 infection.

Journal of Clinical Oncology 33, no. 33 (November 20, 2015): 3866–73. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2014.59.9092.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose The aim of this large multicenter study was to assess the impact of salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy (SALV) on clinical outcome. Patients and Methods Data from consecutive adult patients undergoing resection for esophageal cancer in 30 European centers from 2000 to 2010 were collected. First, groups undergoing SALV (n = 308) and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by planned esophagectomy (NCRS; n = 540) were compared. Second, patients who benefited from SALV for persistent (n = 234) versus recurrent disease (n = 74) were compared. Propensity score matching and multivariable analyses were used to compensate for differences in some baseline characteristics. Results SALV versus NCRS groups: In-hospital mortality was similar in both groups (8.4% v 9.3%). The only significant differences in complications were seen for anastomotic leak (17.2% v 10.7%; P = .007) and surgical site infection, which were both more frequent in the SALV group. At 3 years, groups had similar overall (43.3% v 40.1%; P = .542) and disease-free survival (39.2% v 32.8%; P = .232) after matching, along with a similar recurrence pattern. Persistent versus recurrent disease groups: There were no significant differences between groups in incidence of in-hospital mortality or major complications. At 3 years, overall (40.9% v 56.2%; P = .046) and disease-free survival (36.6% v 51.6%; P = .095) were lower in the persistent disease group. Conclusion The results of this large multicenter study from the modern era suggest that SALV can offer acceptable short- and long-term outcomes in selected patients at experienced centers. Persistent cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy seems to be more biologically aggressive, with poorer survival compared with recurrent cancer.

Interspecific hybrids of Prunus persica, Barier, Fire, Cadaman, GF-677, and Prunus sp. hybrids and selections, MRS, NBS 540-73, and Pumiselect were evaluated for resistance to Plum pox virus. Hybrids were grafted onto trees of a peach cultivar artificially infected with PPV and evaluated for six years for resistance to the virus. The relative concentration of PPV protein was determined by semiquantitative ELISA in June every year. The presence of PPV in peach hybrids was confirmed by IC-RT-PCR in 2007–2008. The presence and intensity of PPV symptoms were evaluated monthly from May to September. The hybrid GF-677 (P. amygdalus × P. persica) was confirmed as highly resistant to PPV. Hybrids Cadaman (P. davidiana × P. persica) and Fire (P. amygdalus × P. persica) were characterized as resistant to PPV. Hybrids GF-677, Cadaman and Fire were selected as candidate sources of resistance to be crossed with peach cultivars susceptible to PPV.

Full textAbstract:
540 Background: Metastatic colon cancer (mCC) patients may receive multiple lines of treatment (Tx1, Tx2, etc.) consisting of one or more cytotoxic (CYT: 5FU/LV, oxaliplatin [OX], irinotecan [IRI]) and biologic (BIO: bevacizumab [BEV], cetuximab [CET], panitumumab [PAN]) drugs. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) provides evidence-based Tx recommendations for each line. The objective of this study was to examine real-world clinical practice patterns between 2002 and 2010. In particular, we compared the most common regimens across Tx lines and how Tx patterns changed over time. We also documented the uptake and use of new BIOs. Methods: We used population-based SEER-Medicare data to determine Tx1, Tx2, and Tx3 regimens of 4,616 mCC patients (the median age at diagnosis was 78) diagnosed in 2003-2009 and followed through 2010. We will use an algorithm previously developed by us to identify regimens. Results: The most common CYT backbone in Tx1 was OX (51% of patients) followed by 5FU/LV (30%). In comparison, IRI was a preferred choice in Tx2 (65%) and Tx3 (31%). In 2003, the most common Tx1 regimens were 5FU/LV- (56%) and IRI-based (35%). 5FU/LV and IRI use decreased to 22% and 9% respectively in 2009, while OX use increased from 7% in 2003 to 63% in 2009. In 2004, the FDA approved BEV for Tx1. BEV’s share increased from 9% in 2004 to 53% in 2005. BEV was used in 9% of Tx2 regimens in 2004 and 46% in 2005. CET was approved in 2004. CET was used in less than 5% of Tx1 regimens in any year up to 2010. CET use in Tx2 increased from 19% to 27% between 2005 and 2007, and declined to 23% in 2010. The FDA approved PAN in September 2006 for treatment after failure of CYT-based regimens, i.e., primarily in Tx3 and beyond. Only 350 (8%) of patients received Tx3, and of these 59 (17%) received PAN without a CYT backbone. One in three Tx3 regimens consisted of biologics only (54% CET, 43% PAN). Conclusions: This study used SEER-Medicare registry data to examine and document real-world clinical practice patterns in treatment of elderly mCC patients between 2003 and 2010. We observed that as new biologic agents were introduced to the market, variations in the combinations and the number of treatment have significantly and rapidly changed.

O presente trabalho tem como objeto de pesquisa a Bancada Feminina da Câmara Federal, a fim de analisar os Projetos de Lei apresentados pelas deputadas em exercício, no período de 2011 a 2014. Tem por objetivo compreender quais são os interesses defendidos nesses projetos, através de uma análise qualitativa que se desenvolverá em torno de três eixos: descrição, caracterização e análise. Desde a Assembleia Constituinte de 1988, a atuação das deputadas na Câmara Federal passou a ser vista sob uma nova perspectiva. A atuação coletiva dessas representantes no evento que marcou a formulação da Constituição Federal vigente, transmitiu a ideia de uma Bancada Feminina, que veio a se formalizar mais tarde. A criação desta Bancada, no entanto, gerou certa expectativa sobre o comportamento e a atuação das mulheres no cenário político brasileiro. A literatura internacional sobre representação feminina, pautada em dois eixos principais – presença e ideias – já vinha questionando o modo que a atuação das mulheres no cenário político deveria acontecer, colocando sobre as parlamentares uma responsabilidade extra. No Brasil, a institucionalização da Bancada Feminina levou a elaboração de um regimento interno que estipula a representação de interesses femininos. Os estudos recentes sobre as parlamentares brasileiras, no entanto, demonstram que, ao contrário do que propõe o regimento, é baixo o número de projetos voltados à temática das mulheres, bem como o envolvimento das mesmas com a agenda feminista. Assim, levando em consideração os dois eixos principais em que se baseia a literatura sobre representação política feminina – presença e ideias – o presente estudo busca identificar quais são os interesses defendidos nos projetos apresentados por estas parlamentares. A partir de uma categorização temática dos projetos, a análise qualitativa se deu através da identificação de grupos para os quais as proposições eram voltadas. Com isso, considerando-se a organização suprapartidária da Bancada Feminina e o alto número de propostas individuais apresentadas, partiu-se da hipótese de que as deputadas não atuam, em regra, como um coletivo, fazendo-o apenas em determinadas ocasiões. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo empírico, que busca além de analisar os projetos de lei apresentados, expor a produção legislativa desta organização, com a finalidade de verificar através dos interesses representado pela mesma, se as deputadas brasileiras vêm desempenhando uma política de presença ou de ideias.
The present study has as research subject the Female Front of Deputies’ Federal Chamber, with the aim of analyze the bills introduced by female’s deputies, in the period of 2011 to 2014. Aims to understand what are the interests defended by them in these bills, through a qualitative analysis around three axes: description, characterization and analysis. Since the Constitutive Assembly in 1988, the deputies’ performance at the Federal Chamber it came to be watched under a new perspective. The collective performance of these representatives in the event that marked the formulation of the current Federal Constitution transmitted the idea of a Female Front that came to formalize later. The creation of this Front, however, generated some expectation about women’s performance and behavior at the Brazilian political scene. The international literature about female representation, based on two main streams – presence and idea – already asked the way of women’s performance at the political scene should happen. At Brazil, the institutionalization of Female Front resulted in the elaboration of an internal regiment, which stipulates the representation of female interests. However, recently studies demonstrates that is low the number of bills for female thematic and the involvement of female deputies with the feminist agenda. Therefore, considering the two main streams on the literature about female representation is based – presence and idea – the present study aims identify which are the interests defended in the projects presented by these females’ parliamentarians. From a thematic categorization of the projects, the qualitative analysis took place through the identification of groups for which the propositions were oriented. With this, considering the nonpartisan organization of the Female Front and the higher number of bills proposed individually, it part from the principle that the Female Front, indeed, do not act as a collective, acting as such only on certain occasions. It is therefore an empirical study which seeks not only to analyze the bills presented, but also to expose the legislative production of this organization, in order to verify through the interests represented by the same, if the Brazilian females deputies have been carrying out a policy of presence or ideas.

The Japanese Fiscal Investment and Loan Progam (FILP) will be fundamentally changed in April 2001. We are comparing the pre- and post-reform Japanese system with the German system of policy-based finance and we have found that the German system is quite different. In the case of the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and other German federal and state institutions, the loans are mainly made through private banks, while the Japanese government banks lend directly to companies or households. Our paper discusses the advantages and the disadvantages of these two systems. We also consider the guarantee systems, which supplement and substitute public sector loans, and it turned out that in Japan there are moral hazard problems within this framework. Apart from this we also look at the role of public financial institutions outside their role in policy-based lending and investment. Here our focus is on postal savings in Japan and on the savings banks, which are both collecting a large share of personal savings, a s well as on the Landesbanks in Germany. The cutting of the flow of postal savings and government pension funds to the FILP system, which is planned within the framework of the FILP reform, makes the Japanese system more market compatible and more similar to the German system of policy-based finance, but the differences in the ways of lending and in some other institutional parameters remain

RESUMO: este estudo procurou sobretudo conhecer as intervenções (mais recorrentes) dos professores à luz do Decreto-Lei 54/2018 (e também do 55/2018), de 6 de julho, conducentes à participação e ao progresso dos alunos que apresentam mais dificuldades de aprendizagem/ perturbações, bem como averiguar ao de leve o seu parecer sobre a inclusão dos mesmos (alunos) na turma e na dinâmica da escola.
Assim, aplicou-se um inquérito por questionário, ao qual responderam mais de 800 docentes de todos os níveis de ensino de Portugal continental. Com base nos dados obtidos, concluiu-se que já se constata uma certa abertura e uma concretização quer do desenho universal para a aprendizagem quer da abordagem multinível, se bem que a tutela deva providenciar condições por forma a possibilitar uma intervenção mais personalizada, potenciadora das múltiplas inteligências de cada ser aprendente. A auxiliar-nos, nesta missão, neste mundo imparável, temos cada vez mais as neurociências.
Para sermos bem-sucedidos, necessitamos igualmente de um trabalho, monitorizado, colaborativo por parte de todas as entidades envolvidas no processo de ensino aprendizagem, desde a esfera escolar à da saúde ou à da autarquia, com particular relevância por parte da família de cada discente, bem como da cooperação imprescindível do próprio. Este trabalho em conjunto, na senda humana da inclusão e do sucesso, requer uma intervenção o mais precocemente possível.N/A

Hayes and Williams’ Family Law, now in its sixth edition, provides critical and case-focused discussion of the key legislation and debates affecting adults and children. The volume takes a critical approach to the subject and includes ‘talking points’ and focused ‘discussion questions’ throughout each chapter which highlight areas of debate or controversy. The introductory chapter within this edition provides a discussion of the law’s understanding of ‘family’ and the extent to which this has changed over time, a detailed overview of the meaning of private and family life within Article 8 of the ECHR, and a discussion of the Family Justice Review and subsequent developments. Part 1 of this edition, supplemented by the ‘Latest Developments’ section, outlines the most up-to-date statistics on the incidence of marriage, civil partnerships and divorce, discusses recent case law on the validity of marriage such as Hayatleh v Mofdy [2017] EWCA Civ 70 and K v K (Nullity: Bigamous Marriage) [2016] EWHC 3380 (Fam), and highlights the recent Supreme Court decision (In the Matter of an Application by Denise Brewster for Judicial Review (Northern Ireland) [2017] 1 WLR 519) on the pension rights of unmarried cohabitants.

Full textAbstract:
India experienced substantial mortality decline in the decades after 1971. By 2016 life expectation probably averaged about 68 years. However, much of the mortality decline resulted from narrow technical developments (e.g. immunizations) and was not always matched by commensurate advances in the state of the population’s health. The Emergency of 1975–77 led to sterilization excesses, and there was a backlash against the family planning programme. Subsequently, political leaders generally avoided talking about family planning and population growth. Partly as a result, the pace of fertility decline during 1971–2016 was slow. By 2016 the average level of fertility was about 2.4 births per woman. It was not until the 2001–11 intercensal decade that there was an appreciable fall in the rate of population growth. Consequently, between 1971 and 2016 the population grew from 548 million to more than 1.3 billion.

AbstractEmissions trading schemes (ETS) have become popular as a policy instrument to tackle climate change. This chapter analyses the decision to deploy carbon markets and their interaction with other instruments in Mexico’s climate policy. Instrument selection has been thoroughly explored in the regulation and public policy literature (Kern et al. in Res Policy 48, 2019; Capano and Lippi in Policy Sci 50(2):269–293, 2016; Wurzel et al. in German Policy Studies 9:21–48, 2013; Harker et al. in Climate Policy 17(4):485–500, 2017; Baldwin et al. in Understanding regulation, Oxford University Press, 2012; Jordan et al. in Policy instruments in practice. Oxford handbooks online 536–549, 2011), but its application to carbon markets is mainly focused on environments such as Europe, the US and, more recently, China. The decision to adopt an ETS relies not only on specific characteristics of each instrument but also on institutional constraints and messy political considerations. A combination of preferences and institutional factors affect the choice of instruments, and the ultimate decision must be legitimate and instrumental for each context. I analyse the considerations involved in the deployment of the ETS pilot project, looking at its distinctive characteristics and those it shares with other available instruments, as well as the requirements for its implementation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractGender equality is an increasingly topical issue, but it has deep historical roots. The principle of gender equality found its legitimacy, even if limited to salary, in the 1957 Treaty of Rome, establishing the European Economic Community (EEC). This treaty, in Article 119, sanctioned the principle of equal pay between male and female workers. The EEC continued to protect women’s rights in the 1970s through equal opportunity policies. These policies referred, first, to the principle of equal treatment between men and women regarding education, access to work, professional promotion, and working conditions (Directive 75/117/EEC); second, to the principle of equal pay for male and female workers (Directive 76/207/EEC); and finally, enshrined the principle of equal treatment between men and women in matters of social security (Directive 79/7/EEC). Since the 1980s, several positive action programmes have been developed to support the role of women in European society. Between 1982 and 2000, four multiyear action programmes were implemented for equal opportunities. The first action programme (1982–1985) called on the Member States, through recommendations and resolutions by the Commission, to disseminate greater knowledge of the types of careers available to women, encourage the presence of women in decision-making areas, and take measures to reconcile family and working life. The second action programme (1986–1990) proposed interventions related to the employment of women in activities related to new technologies and interventions in favour of the equal distribution of professional, family, and social responsibilities (Sarcina, 2010). The third action programme (1991–1995) provided an improvement in the condition of women in society by raising public awareness of gender equality, the image of women in mass media, and the participation of women in the decision-making process at all levels in all areas of society. The fourth action programme (1996–2000) strengthened the existing regulatory framework and focused on the principle of gender mainstreaming, a strategy that involves bringing the gender dimension into all community policies, which requires all actors in the political process to adopt a gender perspective. The strategy of gender mainstreaming has several benefits: it places women and men at the heart of policies, involves both sexes in the policymaking process, leads to better governance, makes gender equality issues visible in mainstream society, and, finally, considers the diversity among women and men. Among the relevant interventions of the 1990s, it is necessary to recall the Treaty of Maastricht (1992) which guaranteed the protection of women in the Agreement on Social Policy signed by all Member States (except for Great Britain), and the Treaty of Amsterdam (1997), which formally recognised gender mainstreaming. The Treaty of Amsterdam includes gender equality among the objectives of the European Union (Article 2) and equal opportunity policies among the activities of the European Commission (Article 3). Article 13 introduces the principle of non-discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or handicaps. Finally, Article 141 amends Article 119 of the EEC on equal treatment between men and women in the workplace. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Nice Union of 2000 reaffirms the prohibition of ‘any discrimination based on any ground such as sex’ (Art. 21.1). The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union also recognises, in Article 23, the principle of equality between women and men in all areas, including employment, work, and pay. Another important intervention of the 2000s is the Lisbon strategy, also known as the Lisbon Agenda or Lisbon Process. It is a reform programme approved in Lisbon by the heads of state and governments of the member countries of the EU. The goal of the Lisbon strategy was to make the EU the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy by 2010. To achieve this goal, the strategy defines fields in which action is needed, including equal opportunities for female work. Another treaty that must be mentioned is that of Lisbon in 2009, thanks to which previous treaties, specifically the Treaty of Maastricht and the Treaty of Rome, were amended and brought together in a single document: the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Thanks to the Lisbon Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights has assumed a legally binding character (Article 6, paragraph 1 of the TEU) both for European institutions and for Member States when implementing EU law. The Treaty of Lisbon affirms the principle of equality between men and women several times in the text and places it among the values and objectives of the union (Articles 2 and 3 of the TEU). Furthermore, the Treaty, in Art. 8 of the TFEU, states that the Union’s actions are aimed at eliminating inequalities, as well as promoting equality between men and women, while Article 10 of the TFEU provides that the Union aims to ‘combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, or sexual orientation’. Concerning the principle of gender equality in the workplace, the Treaty, in Article 153 of the TFEU, asserts that the Union pursues the objective of equality between men and women regarding labour market opportunities and treatment at work. On the other hand, Article 157 of the TFEU confirms the principle of equal pay for male and female workers ‘for equal work or work of equal value’. On these issues, through ordinary procedures, the European Parliament and the Council may adopt appropriate measures aimed at defending the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment for men and women. The Lisbon Treaty also includes provisions relating to the fight against trafficking in human beings, particularly women and children (Article 79 of the TFEU), the problem of domestic violence against women (Article 8 of the TFEU), and the right to paid maternity leave (Article 33). Among the important documents concerning gender equality is the Roadmap (2006–2010). In 2006, the European Commission proposed the Roadmap for equality between women and men, in addition to the priorities on the agenda, the objectives, and tools necessary to achieve full gender equality. The Roadmap defines six priority areas, each of which is associated with a set of objectives and actions that makes it easier to achieve them. The priorities include equal economic independence for women and men, reconciliation of private and professional life, equal representation in the decision-making process, eradication of all forms of gender-based violence, elimination of stereotypes related to gender, and promotion of gender equality in external and development policies. The Commission took charge of the commitments included in the Roadmap, which were indirectly implemented by the Member States through the principle of subsidiarity and the competencies provided for in the Treaties (Gottardi, 2013). The 2006–2010 strategy of the European Commission is based on a dual approach: on the one hand, the integration of the gender dimension in all community policies and actions (gender mainstreaming), and on the other, the implementation of specific measures in favour of women aimed at eliminating inequalities. In 2006, the European Council approved the European Pact for Gender Equality which originated from the Roadmap. The European Pact for Gender Equality identified three macro areas of intervention: measures to close gender gaps and combat gender stereotypes in the labour market, measures to promote a better work–life balance for both women and men, and measures to strengthen governance through the integration of the gender perspective into all policies. In 2006, Directive 2006/54/EC of the European Parliament and Council regulated equal opportunities and equal treatment between male and female workers. Specifically, the Directive aims to implement the principle of equal treatment related to access to employment, professional training, and promotion; working conditions, including pay; and occupational social security approaches. On 21 September 2010, the European Commission adopted a new strategy to ensure equality between women and men (2010–2015). This new strategy is based on the experience of Roadmap (2006–2010) and resumes the priority areas identified by the Women’s Charter: equal economic independence, equal pay, equality in decision-making, the eradication of all forms of violence against women, and the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment beyond the union. The 2010–2015 Strategic Plan aims to improve the position of women in the labour market, but also in society, both within the EU and beyond its borders. The new strategy affirms the principle that gender equality is essential to supporting the economic growth and sustainable development of each country. In 2010, the validity of the Lisbon Strategy ended, the objectives of which were only partially achieved due to the economic crisis. To overcome this crisis, the Commission proposed a new strategy called Europe 2020, in March 2010. The main aim of this strategy is to ensure that the EU’s economic recovery is accompanied by a series of reforms that will increase growth and job creation by 2020. Specifically, Europe’s 2020 strategy must support smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. To this end, the EU has established five goals to be achieved by 2020 and has articulated the different types of growth (smart, sustainable, and inclusive) in seven flagship initiatives. Among the latter, the initiative ‘an agenda for new skills and jobs’, in the context of inclusive growth, is the one most closely linked to gender policies and equal opportunities; in fact, it substantially aims to increase employment rates for women, young, and elderly people. The strategic plan for 2010–2015 was followed by a strategic commitment in favour of gender equality 2016–2019, which again emphasises the five priority areas defined by the previous plan. Strategic commitment, which contributes to the European Pact for Gender Equality (2011–2020), identifies the key actions necessary to achieve objectives for each priority area. In March 2020, the Commission presented a new strategic plan for equality between women and men for 2020–2025. This strategy defines a series of political objectives and key actions aimed at achieving a ‘union of equality’ by 2025. The main objectives are to put an end to gender-based violence and combat sexist stereotypes, ensure equal opportunities in the labour market and equal participation in all sectors of the economy and political life, solve the problem of the pay and pension gap, and achieve gender equality in decision-making and politics. From the summary of the regulatory framework presented, for the European Economic Community first, then for the European Community, and finally for the European Union, gender equality has always been a fundamental value. Interest in the issues of the condition of women and equal opportunities has grown over time and during the process of European integration, moving from a perspective aimed at improving the working conditions of women to a new dimension to improve the life of the woman as a person, trying to protect her not only professionally but also socially, and in general in all those areas in which gender inequality may occur. The approach is extensive and based on legislation, the integration of the gender dimension into all policies, and specific measures in favour of women. From the non-exhaustive list of the various legislative interventions, it is possible to note a continuous repetition of the same thematic priorities which highlights, on the one hand, the poor results achieved by the implementation of the policies, but, on the other hand, the Commission’s willingness to pursue the path initially taken. Among the achievements in the field of gender equality obtained by the EU, there is certainly an increase in the number of women in the labour market and the acquisition of better education and training. Despite progress, gender inequalities have persisted. Even though women surpass men in terms of educational attainment, gender gaps still exist in employment, entrepreneurship, and public life (OECD, 2017). For example, in the labour market, women continue to be overrepresented in the lowest-paid sectors and underrepresented in top positions (according to the data released in the main companies of the European Union, women represent only 8% of CEOs).

Abstract Cotton, being a leading commercial fibre crop, is grown on 20.5 million hectares in three major cotton-producing countries: China, India and Pakistan. Wide differences in yield per hectare exist among these countries and these are being aggravated by changing climate conditions, i.e. higher temperatures and significant seasonal and regional fluctuation in rainfall. Pakistan is one of the countries most affected by climate change. The disastrous effects of extreme periods of heat stress in cotton were very prominent in Pakistan during the growing seasons 2013-2014 (40-50% fruit abortion) and 2016-2017 (33% shortfall), which posed an alarming threat to the cotton-based economy of Pakistan. Poor resilience of the most commonly grown cotton varieties against extreme periods of heat stress are considered to be major factors for this drastic downfall in cotton production in Pakistan. Using the approach of induced mutation breeding, the Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), Faisalabad, Pakistan, has demonstrated its capabilities in developing cotton mutants that can tolerate the changed climatic conditions and sustain high yields under contrasting environments. The results of studies on the phenological and physiological traits conferring heat tolerance are presented here for thermo-tolerant cotton mutants (NIAB-878, NIAB-545, NIAB-1048, NIAB-444, NIAB-1089, NIAB-1064, NIAB-1042) relative to FH-142 and FH-Lalazar. NIAB-878 excelled in heat tolerance by maintaining the highest anther dehiscence (82%) and minimum cell injury percentage (39%) along with maximum stomatal conductance (27.7 mmol CO2/m2/s), transpiration rate (6.89 μmol H2O/m2/s), net photosynthetic rate (44.6 mmol CO2/m2/s) and physiological water use efficiency (6.81 mmol CO2/μmol H2O) under the prevailing high temperatures.

AbstractIn the recent years, awareness has risen by an increasing number of researchers that we need studies that appropriately model the complexity of school improvement if we want to increase our knowledge about school improvement substantially and to close the identified research gaps within this field (Feldhoff T, Radisch F, Klieme E, J Educ Admin 52(5):565–736, 2014; Hallinger P, Heck RH, School Effect School Improv 22(2):149–173, 2011; Sammons P, Davis S, Day C, Gu Q, J Educ Admin 52(5):565–589, 2014). So far, respective quantitative studies, that appropriately consider those complexities, have hardly been realized because of the high efforts of current methods and costs involved (Feldhoff T, Radisch F, Bischof LM, J Educ Admin 2(54):209–240, 2016). It is, therefore, apparent to look for new, innovative methods that can adequately take into account the complexity of school improvement. For a reasonable search and selection of innovative methods, it is necessary to describe the systematic complexity of school improvement and the resulting requirements for the methods in more detail. This is a central goal in this chapter. For this reason, we present our framework of complexity. We then formulate questions that will prompt the reader to reflect critically upon the methods in general and especially in this volume.

AbstractMore than half of the world’s population relies on wheat, maize, and rice for their daily dietary energy. In 2019, the daily per person average calorie intake was 2,963 kilocalories (kcal), in which the share was more than 18.2% (538 kcal) for wheat, 5.4% (159 kcal) for maize, and 18.3% (542 kcal) for rice. It is projected that by 2050, the total global population is expected to reach between 8.9 and 10.6 billion from 7.8 billion in 2020. Thus, it will be imperative to produce more wheat, maize, and rice to ensure the food security of the world’s burgeoning population. While it is imperative to produce more food, the emergence and re-emergence of lethal crop diseases and their spread from the epicenters to new regions continuously threaten crop yield, farmers’ income, and the world’s food security. For example, the emergence of maize lethal necrosis (MLN) in Africa has generated a credible threat to global and African food security. This study quantified MLN-induced maize production loss in Kenya, DR Congo, and Tanzania. Applying the time-series projection method, this study estimates that the loss in maize production due to MLN was 442 thousand tons in Kenya, nearly 12 thousand tons in DR Congo, and 663 thousand tons in Tanzania. As more pest- and disease-related crop losses are expected due to the changes in global climate, this study concludes by suggesting that it is imperative to invest more in research and development of disease-resistant crop varieties globally to ensure food and nutrition security, particularly in the global south.

AbstractWithin the context of climate change, the province of Phuket in Thailand is the only province in Thailand without any large rivers, which means that it is potentially at risk from problems associated with water scarcity in the future. Phuket Island is also the largest island in Thailand with an area of 543 km2 comprised of three districts (Thalang, Muang and Kathu); 77% of the island is mountainous and 23% consists of plains, primarily in the central and eastern regions. Most water is derived from rainfall, which is stored in reservoirs, mine shafts, and groundwater sources. Due to geography, Phuket is a popular tourist destination. Rates of development in the hotel industry and residential areas, as well as the population, have been rapid in recent decades. However, these developments have severely degraded watershed areas. Economic growth and increases in the number of tourists has resulted in an increase in demand for water, and in the year 2020 consumption exceeded 100,000 m3/day (Provincial Waterworks Authority 2020). Moreover, trends of water use in Phuket are expected to increase by 12% annually, and it is forecasted that the water demand for local consumption and tourism will rise to 103.07 million m3/year in 2032 (Patong Municipality 2020). As the water supply in the three major reservoirs (Bang Wad, Bang Niew Dam and Klong Katha) are limited due to long periods of a dry weather (Provincial Waterworks Authority 2020), there are problems of water scarcity in Phuket and other areas with public water systems in the province. The droughts in 2002 and 2019–2020 caused severe water scarcity in Phuket, and this has become an important issue that the province needs to address.

Full textAbstract:
A sífilis é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível, considerada uma epidemia mundial, cujo agente etiológico é a bactéria Treponema pallidum. A transmissão da sífilis acontece pelo ato sexual, incluindo sexo oral sem uso de preservativo, contato direto com toque nas lesões, transfusões sanguíneas e por transmissão vertical. Na gestação, essa infecção pode apresentar consequências graves para o feto caso não seja diagnosticada e tratada o mais precoce possível. Objetivou-se identificar a incidência de sífilis gestacional nos últimos cinco anos na Gerência Distrital Sanitária Centro do município de Porto Alegre (RS). Foi realizado um estudo transversal descritivo com abordagem quantitativa. Foram analisados dados do período 2016–2020 provenientes do portal Business Intelligence da Secretaria de Saúde do município de Porto Alegre do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram analisados os dados da Gerência Distrital Sanitária Centro, composta de três Unidades de Saúde, que possuem juntas uma população adstrita de 277.426 habitantes. No período analisado foram identificados 174 casos de sífilis em gestantes, sendo 22 (2016), 27 (2017), 30 (2018), 54 (2019) e 41 (2020). Observou-se que entre 2016-2019 houve um aumento no número dos diagnósticos, com queda em 2020. Percebe-se um aumento nos casos de sífilis em gestantes nos últimos anos, este número de 2016 a 2019. No ano de 2020, por conta da pandemia de COVID-19 e do isolamento social ocasionado por ela, houve um decréscimo significativo no número de casos de sífilis gestacional diagnosticados, sugerindo uma possível relação com esse resultado.

Full textAbstract:
The theory of Relative Age Effect (RAE) works on the assumption that athletes born at the beginning of a calendar year are more successful than athletes born in the end of the year. The athletes born early have a significant probability of a higher level of physiological, mor-phological and psychological abilities than later born athletes. Several studies show that the RAE was not found in females or it was significantly lower than in males. The research objective was to find out the influence of RAE in WTA Tour TOP100 female professional tennis players (n=500) in 2014–2018. Cohen’s effect size (ES) w was calculated to assess the level of the influence of RAE. To assess the differences between the observed and the expected relative age quarter distribution, Chi-Square test (ꭕ2) was used. In terms of effect size (ES), a medium influence of RAE has been proven in 2016 and 2017 (w = 0.33, resp. w = 0.30); a small influence has been proven in years 2014, 2015, 2018 and in the whole observed period 2014–2018. Based on statistical analysis, the influence of RAE cannot be rejected in years 2016 (p 0.05). The next step was to assess the influence of RAE on the final WTA ranking in 2014–2018. Players have been divided into four intervals: 1–25, 26–50, 51–75 and 76–100 positions. ES has showed the medium influence of RAE in 76–100 positions (w = 0.34); only small influence of RAE was found in other positions. Statistical analysis showed that the influence of RAE cannot be rejected in 1–25, 26–50 and 76–100 positions (p < 0.05): it can be rejected in 54–75 positions. The results of the research have shown the medium influence of RAE in 2016 and 2017: in the recent years (and in the whole observed period of 2014–2018), the influence of RAE was small. The influence of RAE on the final WTA ranking is also small, except the 76–100 positions.

O presente relatório tem como finalidade descrever os processos envolvidos das atividades desenvolvidas durante o Estágio Supervisionado Específico I e II,com a carga horária composta de 108 horas para atividades de campo. Além disso, devido a Portaria n° 2.071, de 29 de julho de 2020, que dispõe sobre o Programa de Estágio no âmbito do Ministério do Desenvolvimento art 3°, cabendo ao Supervisor do Estagiário ser responsável por orientar e supervisionar os estagiários sob sua responsabilidade, a elaboração do relatório será supervisionada pelo docente Clorijava de Oliveira Santiago Junior do Centro Universitário do Norte - UNINORTESER. Este relatório tratará a ênfase da Psicologia Social juntamente com a abordagem, Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental (TCC) do curso de Psicologia para a realização de intervenção em casos de autismo. O autismo nos dias atuais atinge muitas crianças e adultos e sua principalcaracterística são os déficits qualitativos na interação social e na comunicação,padrões de comportamento repetitivos, estereotipados e padrões de interesserestritos a determinadas atividades e funções (GADIA, TUCHMAN & ROTTA, 2004). Não havendo diferença de etnia, cultura, grupo socioeconômico, ou outracaracterística diferencial e ocorrendo em maior prevalência entre meninos, a Organização Mundial da Saúde - OMS, estima que, em todo o mundo, uma em cada160 crianças tenha o transtorno. De acordo com o Instituo Nacional de Estudos ePesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP, 2019), o número de alunos comtranstorno do espectro autista (TEA) que estão matriculados em classes comuns noBrasil aumentou 37,27% em um ano. Em 2017, 77.102 crianças e adolescentes comautismo estudavam nas mesmas salas que pessoas sem deficiência. Esse índicesubiu para 105.842 alunos em 2018. Os dados consideram tanto os estudantes deescolas públicas, quanto de particulares.Dados das estatísticas norte-americanas do CDC (Central of Disease Control,2020) mostram que a prevalência do TEA nos EUA, aumentou de 1 em cada 150crianças em 2000-2002, para 1 em 68 crianças durante 2010-2012 e 1 em 59crianças em 2014, e nos dados do mês de março de 2020, alcançou-se marca de 1em cada 54 crianças. A abordagem TCC, baseia-se na inter-relação da cognição e ocomportamento, que implicam no funcionamento normal do ser humano, trabalha as questões atuais da vida dos pacientes, desde a história pregressa para acompreensão do problema atual. O estágio foi realizado no MUPA (AssociaçãoMãos Unidas pelo Autismo), localizado na rua Barão de Surui nº15, Parque dasLaranjeiras Manaus – AM. O MUPA (Mãos Unidas Pelo Autismo) é uma Associação de Pais eProfissionais Voluntários que, em atividade desde 07 de março de 2010, procura garantir a inclusão social de crianças e adolescentes com Transtornos do Espectro Autista através do atendimento de uma equipe multiprofissional, contendo:psicopedagogia, psicologia, educação física, atividades aquáticas, fonoaudiologia epsicomotricidade. Também há a realização de oficinas e seminários visando aconscientização da sociedade sobre o Autismo. É uma instituição sem fins lucrativosda prática profissional, possibilitando assim, o exercício das habilidades necessáriaspara a atuação. Desse modo, o processo de intervenção com base na terapia cognitivo comportamental contribui para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista atraves da Psicoeducação e atividades ludicas.

Many experiments have proved that vision and hearing effect each other in many ways, and this phenomenon is of great significance to design (Zhang，2019)(Anderson，2014). Among the design of car cockpit, color is one of the most important elements of cockpit visual design, and different color directly affect people's experience in the cockpit (Satake,2011). We selected eight colors in study which are red, yellow, orange, blue, green, cyan, white and gray, and each color was set to two brightness levels and three music modes: non music, light music and bass-heavy music. Meanwhile, we used a head-mounted virtual reality display (HMD) to simulate the in-car environment, and assessed 55 participants on their level of color preference. In study we found that music changed people's preference for the color of the car cockpit environment and the degree of color preference was related to the type of music.Reference:[1]Zhang, Y., Liu, P., Han, B., Xiang, Y. and Li, L., 2019.

Full textAbstract:
RESUMO A abordagem sistêmica é um processo interdisciplinar, cujo princípio primordial é compreender a interdependência recíproca e relações de todas as áreas e da necessidade de sua integração, permitindo maior aproximação entre os seus limites de estudo. Nesse contexto o olhar sistêmico, da ergonomia, sobretudo no que se refere à segurança, ao conforto e à eficácia de uso, de funcionalidade e de operacionalidade dos objetos, considerando todos os produtos ou sistemas de produtos, como sistema de uso, desde os mais simples aos mais complexos ou sistêmicos, tem como objetivo adequá-los aos seres humanos, tendo em vista as atividades e tarefas exercidas por eles. No que se refere ao design funcional, os conhecimentos da ergonomia, nessa visão sistêmica, relativos à sua metodologia de projeto, são absolutamente necessários, e a sua aplicação aponta a melhor adequação dos produtos aos seus usuários. Como é o caso do vestuário feminino funcional, sobretudo no que se refere a proteção das mamas, que são peças convencionais que necessitam de um correto dimensionamento e especificação dos tecidos e de outros materiais. É um tipo de vestuário que apresenta funcionalidade diversa, como para a proteção física, o aumento do volume da mama, enchimento no bojo de pano, de água, de óleo, estruturado com arame, etc.; para amamentação (sutiã que se abre na frente, em parte ou totalmente); para o design inclusivo (pessoas com deficiência e mobilidade reduzida, no caso de mamas com prótese ou órtese) facilitando com fechamentos e aberturas colocadas em peças de roupas difíceis de manusear, roupas confortáveis e fáceis de vestir. São peças usadas por pessoas com biótipos e percentis antropométricos variáveis e com características corporais que mudam significativamente nas passagens para a adolescência, idade adulta e idosa. As mudanças corporais apresentam diferenças significativas em termos de volume das mamas, nas quais as soluções ergonômicas por uma abordagem sistêmicas que se evidencia mais para a complexidade de uso, são as mais necessárias em termos de atributos como, segurança, conforto, comodidade corporal, facilidade do vestir, funcionalidade, além da estética. Esta pesquisa, embora exploratória e descritiva, não isenta de desafios, tem por objetivo, por meio de dados e informações ergonômicas sistêmicas contribuir com o design funcional, de modo a oferecer subsídios para a confecção de roupas funcionais ou tecnologia vestível, com os atributos citados, respeitando a diversidade e inclusão das pessoas em todas as fases de sua vida, atendendo assim os princípios formais do design.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: As leishmanioses são zoonoses causadas por protozoários do gênero Leishmania, doença transmitida para os animais e o homem por meio da picada das fêmeas de diversas espécies de flebotomíneos. Atualmente, afetam 12 milhões de pessoas em 98 países, com cerca de 1,3 milhões de novos casos e 20 a 40 mil mortes por ano. No Brasil, a doença é endêmica em áreas rurais, sendo observados muitos surtos na região Nordeste. Atualmente, a leishmaniose visceral vem apresentando um processo de urbanização em diversas regiões do país, tornando-a um sério problema de saúde pública com franca expansão geográfica. Podendo se apresentar de duas formas leishmaniose visceral e tegumentar, sendo a visceral considerada o tipo mais agressivo da doença e que se não identificada e tratada em tempo ágil pode levar a morte. Objetivo: Descrever a mortalidade por leishmaniose no estado de Pernambuco segundo faixa etária, cor/raça, estado civil e sexo, no período de 2016 a 2020. Metodologia: Pesquisa epidemiológica, fundamentada em dados secundários, cujas informações empregadas procedem do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Para os devidos cálculos foi utilizado o Software Excel® 2010 para se alcançar mais exatidão nos resultados. Resultados: Dos anos de 2016 a 2020 foram registrados 78 óbitos decorrentes da leishmaniose no estado de Pernambuco, o ano de 2017 teve o maior número de mortes e 2018 o menor índice, 20 (25,6%) e 13 (16,6%), respectivamente. Em relação à faixa etária a mais acometida foi de 50 a 59 anos 13 (16,6%). A cor/raça mais predominante é a parda 58 (74,3%) seguida da branca 15 (19,2%). Já no que concerne ao sexo o que mais prevaleceu foi o masculino 54 (69,2%) em comparação ao feminino 24 (30,8%). Quanto ao estado civil, os solteiros notificaram a maioria dos falecimentos 38 (48,7%). Conclusão: Conclui-se que os jovens foram os mais acometidos, a cor parda foi a que mais morreu, os homens representaram os maiores números de óbitos e os solteiros foi o que mais evoluíram ao óbito. Deve o poder público promover melhorias nas condições de vida para os mais expostos a essa doença.

Full textAbstract:
The Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) is an international effort started in 2014 dedicated to achieving a better understanding of the link between dense-water formation and the meridional overturning circulation in the high-latitude North Atlantic. Moorings, gliders, and subsurface acoustically-tracked RAFOS floats have been used to collect temperature, salinity, and current data across the Labrador Sea, Irminger Sea, Reykjanes Ridge, Iceland Basin, Rockall-Hatton Plateau, and Rockall Trough. The specific objective of the OSNAP float program is to gather information on the pathways of the dense overflow waters transported by the deep limb of the overturning circulation and assess the connection of those pathways with currents observed crossing the OSNAP mooring line. This data report details the observations collected by 148 floats that were deployed for OSNAP during the summers of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Deployment locations were in the Iceland Basin, Irminger Sea, and in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone. Mission lengths ranged from 540-730 days, and the floats were ballasted to passively drift at a fixed pressure of either 1800, 2000, 2200, 2500, or 2800 dbar to tag the deep overflow water masses of the subpolar North Atlantic (Iceland-Scotland and Denmark Strait Overflow Waters).

Full textAbstract:
In 2011, India had more phone users (around 54 per cent of households) and television access (33 per cent) in rural areas than people with access to tap water (31 per cent) and toilet facilities (31 per cent), according to Census 2011. This clearly indicates the failure of government programmes to change the centuries-old practice of defecation in the open. This neglect of safe sanitation has had catastrophic outcomes in terms of human well-being. This case study is an analysis of the latest central government Swachch Bharat Mission - Gramin (Clean India Mission - Rural) (or SBM-G), which has achieved much greater success than any hitherto government effort in providing access to and use of toilets, especially in rural areas where the need is greatest. However, any conception of achieving ODF status, or free of open defecation, in a village (or any limited geography) is more than merely building toilets. The Sanitation Learning Hub commissioned case studies of sanitation campaigns in both India and Nepal, drawing out the lessons learnt for other countries wishing to implement similar initiatives. Both case studies focus on how target setting and feedback and reporting mechanisms can be used to increase the quality of campaigns.

Muldavin, Esteban, Yvonne Chauvin, Teri Neville, Hannah Varani, Jacqueline Smith, Paul Neville, and Tani Hubbard. A vegetation classi?cation and map: Guadalupe Mountains National Park. National Park Service, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2302855.
Full textAbstract:
A vegetation classi?cation and map for Guadalupe Mountains National Park (NP) is presented as part of the National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring - Vegetation Inventory Program to classify, describe, and map vegetation communities in more than 280 national park units across the United States. Guadalupe Mountains NP lies in far west Texas and contains the highest point in the state, Guadalupe Peak (8,751 ft; 2,667 m). The mountain escarpments descend some 5,000 ft (1,500 m) to the desert basins below forming a complex geologic landscape that supports vegetation communities ranging from montane coniferous forests down to desert grasslands and scrub. Following the US National Vegetation Classi?cation (USNVC) standard, we identi?ed 129 plant associations hierarchically tiered under 29 groups and 17 macrogroups, making it one of the most ecologically diverse National Park Service units in the southwestern United States. An aspect that adds to this diversity is that the park supports communities that extend southward from the Rocky Mountains (?ve macrogroups) and Great Plains (one macrogroup) and northward from the Chihuahuan Desert (two macrogroups) and Sierra Madre Orientale of Mexico (three macrogroups). The remaining six macrogroups are found in the Great Basin (one macrogroup), and throughout the southwestern United States (remaining ?ve macrogroups). Embedded in this matrix are gypsum dunelands and riparian zones and wetlands that add further complexity. We describe in detail this vegetation classi?cation, which is based on 540 vegetation plots collected between 2006 and 2010. Full descriptions and diagnostic keys to the plant associations along with an overall plant species list are provided as appendices. Based on the vegetation classi?cation and associated plot data, the vegetation map was developed using a combined strategy of automated digital object-oriented image classi?cation and direct-analog image interpretation of four-band National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial photography from 2004 and 2008 and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite imagery. The map is designed to facilitate ecologically-based natural resource management at a 1:24,000 scale with 0.5-ha minimum map unit size. The map legend is hierarchically structured: the upper Level 1 consists of 16 map units corresponding in most cases to the USNVC group level, and an additional map unit describing built-up land and agriculture; Level 2 is composed of 48 nested map units re?ecting various combinations of plant associations. A ?eld-based accuracy assessment using 341 vegetation plots revealed a Level 1 overall accuracy of 79% with 90% CI of 74?84% and 68% with 90% CI of 59?76% at Level 2. An annotated legend with summary descriptions of the units, distribution maps, aerial photo examples of map unit polygons, and representative photos are provided in Appendix D. Large wall-size poster maps at 1:35,000 scale were also produced following NPS cartographic standards. The report, plot data, and spatial layers are available at National Park Service Vegetation Mapping Program https://www.nps.gov/im/vegetation-inventory.htm). Outcomes from this project provide the most detailed vegetation classi?cation and highest resolution mapping for Guadalupe Mountains NP to date to support many uses including ?re, recreation, vegetation, and wildlife management, among others. The upper Level 1 map is particularly suited to landscape-scale, park-wide planning and linkages to its sister park, Carlsbad Caverns NP. The Level 2 mapping provides added detail for use at a more localized project scale. The overall accuracy of the maps was good, but because Guadalupe Mountains NP is primarily wilderness park, there were logistical challenges to map development and testing in remote areas that should be considered in planning management actions. In this context, some map units would bene?t from further development and accuracy assessment. In particular, a higher resolution mapping of McKittrick Creek riparian habitat at 1:6,000 scale or ?ner is recommended for this important habitat in the park. In addition, developing a structural canopy height model from LiDAR imagery would be useful to more accurately quantify woody canopy density and height to support ?re management and other habitat management issues. With respect to understanding vegetation dynamics in this time of rapid environmental change, the 540 vegetation plots themselves are su?ciently georeferenced and have the data resolution to be useful in detecting change at the decadal scales across much of the park. To this end, an additional recommendation would be to install more plots to ?ll the gaps among the main vegetation units of the park, both spatially and thematically. Overall, the Vegetation and Classi?cation Map for Guadalupe Mountains NP will support the park?s management e?orts and enhance regional understanding of vegetation and ecology of ecosystems of the southwestern United States.

Full textAbstract:
La comunidad internacional ha impuesto al menos 542 sanciones relacionadas con Venezuela en los últimos 5 años. La acción liderada desde 2014 hasta la actualidad por Estados Unidos con 300 designaciones, seguida por Canadá con 113, la Unión Europea con 93 y Suiza con 36, incluye sanciones comerciales, financieras y de movilidad personal. Originalmente las sanciones fueron dirigidas de forma individual a personas relacionadas con el régimen gobernante tanto naturales como jurídicas, públicas y privadas, evolucionado gradualmente desde 2017 a sanciones sectoriales. El trabajo que sigue hace una aproximación al marco conceptual del régimen sancionatorio internacional en general, analizando sus principales críticas, la tipología de las sanciones y su marco regulatorio; pasando luego a revisar, en particular, el régimen sancionatorio relacionado con Venezuela, incluyendo los principales países emisores, los tipos de medidas impuestas y el marco regulatorio aplicable en cada caso.

Full textAbstract:
This note presents findings and insights from different sources and constitutes the first building block for the Office of Evaluation and Oversights (OVE) policy-based lending evaluation. Prior evaluation work by OVE and the evaluation departments of other Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), as well as Inter-American Development Bank's (IDB) project databases, provide a rich source of information on the use and characteristics of policy-based lending. This paper synthesizes findings and insights from: (i) OVE's 2015 review of the design and use of policy-based lending (document RE-485-6); (ii) OVE's 2020 Lending instruments study (document RE-549); (iii) OVE's review of the demand and performance of policy-based lending in its country products (Country Program Evaluations or CPEs, Extended Country Program Evaluations or XCPE, and Independent Country Program Reviews or ICPR); (iv) OVE's validations of IDB's self evaluations of completed operations (project completion report or PCR); (v) the proceedings of a 2020 conference describing the experience with policy-based lending at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), African Development Bank (AfDB), and the World Bank (WB); and (vi) a portfolio analysis of policy-based operations approved up to December 2022.

Full textAbstract:
Systemwide interstate performance measures that detail hours and location of congestion on an interstate provide important information for decision makers to plan capital projects and assess operations. This report presents summary of mile-hours of congestion across 8 Indiana interstates and the Indiana toll road. Hours of operation by speed bins (0 to 14 mph, 15 mph to 24 mph, 25 mph to 34 mph, 35 mph to 44 mph, 45 mph to 54 mph, 55 mph to 64 mph, more than 65 mph) for every 0.1 mile of the interstates across a month were tabulated for every hour of every day during the month. The quantities of those six different speed bins are plotted as a stacked bar plot from lower to higher speeds by mile marker for each month. The vertical axis shows the mile marker of the interstate. Horizontally, these stacked bars are cropped at maximum of 250 hours (a little more than 10 days) per month to focus on the lower speeds. To produce these plots, approximately 60 billion records from INRIX across 5 years were analyzed. These speed profiles help identify areas with congestion at system level as well as regions impacted by severe winter storms and construction projects.

Full textAbstract:
Introducción: El bajo Peso al Nacer (BPN) corresponde a peso inferior de 2500 gr en nacidos vivos (NV). La OMS lo considera un problema de salud pública por ser predictor de morbimortalidad prenatal y aumentar riesgo de enfermedades no transmisibles. La meta es reducir a nivel mundial BPN en un 30% al 2025, y en Colombia no superar el 10% Objetivo: identificar los grupos poblacionales con mayor riesgo de presentar bajo peso al nacer a término (BPNT) para el 2019. Materiales y métodos: análisis descriptivo transversal, caracterizando casos notificados de BPNT al Sivigila de 2019, depurando y contrastando con la base de RUAF. Se realizó análisis univariado y bivariado. La proporción de los casos notificados se calculó con relación a la información de NV del DANE 2018. Se estimaron los indicadores definidos por el INS en el protocolo de BPNT. El almacenamiento y análisis se realizó con Excel y con OpenEpi versión 3,01 para estimar los odds ratio (OR) Resultados: Se notificaron 19 436 casos de BPNT con 2,99 casos /100 NV (IC95%: 2,7 - 3,0). La tendencia de este evento entre 2016 - 2019 presentó un aumento porcentual de 9,6 %. El 98 % de los NV recibieron atención institucional, 52 % con 37 semanas de gestación, 93 % por parto simple, una mediana de peso de 2 350 gr. y talla 47 cm. La mayor proporción corresponde al sexo mujer con 3,6 / 100 NV (IC 95%: 2,6 - 3,8) y madres con 50 a 54 años con un 4,8 /100 NV (IC 95%: 3,2 – 4,9), residentes en el área urbana con 3,2/100 NV (IC 95%: 3,1 – 3,2) y no aseguradas al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud con 4,7 /100 NV (IC 95%: 2,1 – 4,8). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en los OR, con mayor riesgo en madres de 45 a 49 años con un OR 1,5 (IC 95%: 1,2 – 2,0. Hubo mayor proporción de casos notificados al Sivigila de BPNT en los departamentos de Cundinamarca, Atlántico y distrito de Bogotá y menor proporción en Caquetá, Barranquilla y Buenaventura. Conclusión: la proporción de BPNT se ha mantenido con relación al 2018, con tendencia al aumento desde el 2016. Los NV corresponden a sexo mujer y de madres “no aseguradas” al SGSSS, los estratos 1 y 2, un nivel educativo de secundaria, así mismo, los grupos de edad extremos mayores de 50 años y menores de 19 años. Se requiere robustecer las políticas públicas debido a las implicaciones a que conlleva a corto y mediano plazo en la mortalidad y el desarrollo psicomotriz de estos menores.

Full textAbstract:
This study conducted an economic analysis of future US forest mitigation potential using a detailed economic model of the global forestry sector. The scenario design included a wide range of possible future carbon price incentives and climate policy structures (unilateral and global mitigation). Results across all scenarios show US forest sector mitigation potential ranging from 54 to 292 MtCO2e between 2015 and 2030 (5 to 47 percent of the additional mitigation needed to achieve the 26 to 28 percent emissions reduction target). The results from this study suggest that the US forest sector can play an important role in global greenhouse gas mitigation efforts, including efforts to meet any potential future US mitigation targets.

El área metropolitana de San Salvador está compuesta por 14 municipios. La misma cuenta con una población de cerca de 1.800.000 habitantes que representan el 27% de la población total de El Salvador. El 54% de la población son mujeres. De éstas, un 72%, utilizan buses como su principal medio de transporte, según la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida 2018, El Salvador Cómo Vamos. El BRT ha sufrido una serie de inconvenientes tras la decisión judicial que eliminó el carril exclusivo. Antes de la pandemia ya no contaba con un carril exclusivo, sino que otros vehículos compartían el carril con los buses del SITRAMSS. Mientras en 2017 viajaban 40,000 pasajeros por día, antes de la pandemia por el COVID-19 habían disminuido a cerca de un tercio, y con la pandemia la reducción fue más drástica. El operador suspendió operaciones en el mes de abril de 2020 argumentado problemas financieros derivados de la pandemia. Por su parte, el Estado salvadoreño suspendió la operación general del transporte público en el período comprendido entre el 7 de mayo de 2021 y el 23 de agosto de 2021. A pesar de la reapertura del transporte público el 23 de agosto, el operador del SITRAMSS ha indicado que funcionar bajo las condiciones establecidas por el protocolo de bioseguridad no es viable financieramente, por lo que no ha restablecido el servicio. Por su lado, el Viceministerio de Transporte se encuentra siguiendo un proceso sancionatorio, para lograr el restablecimiento del mismo.
