Objetivo: Se probó un método para la identificación de áreas verdes urbanas y para conocer la actitud de los actores involucrados en el proceso de enverdecimiento tanto de suelo como de altura. Materiales y métodos: Se cuantificaron los tejados disponibles para el establecimiento de áreas verdes. Los residentes fueron entrevistados para consultar su opinión y disposición para la instalación y mantenimiento de un tejado verde. El estudio se realizó a través de la evaluación tecnosocioeconómica. El índice de disponibilidad al enverdecimiento (WTG, por sus siglas en inglés) se utilizó para analizar la presencia o ausencia de plantas en los tejados. Resultados y discusión: Se propuso un nuevo índice, denominado índice ponderado de evaluación verde (GEWI, por sus siglas en inglés), para medir la “presencia de verde” en un entorno urbano. El índice establece la relación entre el número de tejados y el WTG de los habitantes. Los distritos de Salamanca (Madrid), San Martí (Barcelona) y Nervión (Sevilla) tuvieron mayor GEWI; es decir, mayor presencia de agricultura urbana. Conclusiones: La metodología y el índice propuestos muestran las posibilidades de las zonas de estudio para incrementar sus zonas verdes. Algunos factores como disminuir los trámites o facilitar la instalación de azoteas verdes podrían ayudar a lograr tal objetivo.

Nesse contexto, o Núcleo de Estudos em Microbiologia Agrícola (NEMA), da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), tem desenvolvido atividades de extensão junto à comunidade de Viçosa e região, para o intercâmbio de experiências em pesquisa, ensino e extensão relacionadas à Microbiologia Agrícola. O presente artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados do projeto de extensão universitária desenvolvido pelo NEMA junto à Escola Família Agrícola (EFA) Puris, que adota a Pedagogia da Alternância e tem a Agroecologia como eixo norteador, visando à articulação de atividades práticas e teóricas, em tempos e espaços que se alternam entre a escola e a comunidade na qual os educandos estão inseridos. As três intervenções realizadas até o presente momento abordaram os seguintes temas: demonstração dos micro-organismos no ambiente e o papel das micorrizas; produção, comercialização e consumo de cogumelos; compostagem e produção de alimentos fermentados. No total, as atividades envolveram cerca de 65 educandos do Ensino Médio, 5 monitores da EFA e 24 acadêmicos, dentre os quais professores, técnicos, graduandos e pós-graduandos da UFV. Essas intervenções têm proporcionado um estímulo à curiosidade, antes pouco ofertada, sobre o mundo microbiano e suas aplicações, além de instigar o interesse pelo conhecimento científico e proporcionar novos desafios de ensino e extensão para os acadêmicos envolvidos. Palavras-chave: Agricultura familiar, Microbiologia agrícola, Universidade Federal de Viçosa   The microbiology in the context of the agroecology: extension activity in the Puris Agricultural Family School Abstract: The university extension aims to establish citizen practices in research and teaching. In this context, the “Núcleo de Estudos em Microbiologia Agrícola (NEMA)”, from Universidade Federal de Viçosa – UFV(Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil), has developed extension activities in Viçosa and region for the exchange of experiences in research, teaching and extension related to Agricultural Microbiology. This paper presents the first results of the university extension project developed by NEMA at the Puris Agricultural Family School (EFA), which adopts the Pedagogy of Alternation for articulating practical and theoretical activities, in times and spaces concatenated between the school and the community in which students are inserted. The three interventions carried out until here were related to the demonstration of microorganisms in the environment and the role of mycorrhizae, the production, marketing and consumption of mushrooms, and the composting and production of fermented foods. In total, about 65 high school students, 5 EFA’s monitors and 24 academics and staffs from UFV were involved in the activities. These interventions have provided a stimulus to the curiosity, barely offered before, about the microbial world and their applications. Also, it has instigated the interest for the scientific knowledge and enabled new teaching and extension challenges for the academics involved.

Title A name given to the resource A Microflow Cytometry-Based Agglutination Immunoassay for Point-of-Care Quantitative Detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yushan Zhang, Jianxi Qu, Mathieu Chenier, Chang-qing Xu Description An account of the resource A rapid, sensitive and simple microflow cytometry-based agglutination immunoassay (MCIA) was developed for point-of-care (POC) quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies. The antibody concentration was determined by using the transit time of beads aggregates. A linear relationship was established between the average transit time and the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG by the MCIA measurement are 0.06 mg/L and 0.10 mg/L, respectively. The 10 µL sample consumption, 30 min assay time and the compact setup make this technique suitable for POC quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

Title A name given to the resource A migração juvenil e implicações sucessórias na agricultura familiar Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rosani Marisa Spanevello, Letícia Fátima de Azevedo, Letícia Paludo Vargas, Alessandra Matte Description An account of the resource Este trabalho objetiva analisar: a) os principais aspectos motivadores que levam os jovens a ficar ou sair do meio rural e; b) as implicações da saída para a sucessão das propriedades. A pesquisa de campo ocorreu nos municípios de Pinhal Grande e Dona Francisca, localizados na região central do Rio Grande do Sul – Brasil. A coleta de dados se deu através de entrevistas a agricultores familiares sem sucessores (pais sem perspectiva dos filhos permanecerem na propriedade) e agricultores com sucessores (filho deve assumir futuramente a propriedade). Os resultados mostram que a saída dos jovens está atrelada a dificuldades do trabalho agrícola, escassos espaços de lazer no meio rural, falta de controle dos pais sobre os filhos, entre outros. Para os entrevistados, as conseqüências da saída são a falta de sucessores nas propriedades, diminuição do número de pessoas nas comunidades rurais e dificuldades de formação de novas famílias.

Title A name given to the resource A mind of care Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Laura Hellsten Description An account of the resource This article approaches issues arising out of being in the middle of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland in March 2020, both from the point of view of the lived experience of caring for people in our conference setting, and through analysing the statements and actions of the Finnish government from the point of view of an ethics of care. It argues that an ethics of care approach is better equipped at dealing with thinking about and understanding complex life situations such as the spread of the pandemic than what the standardised taxonomy approaches offer. It further states that an ethics of care not only provides concepts and frameworks that help people grapple with challenging situations in an ethical manner, it also enables us to imagine how hospitality and solidarity can be envisioned anew.

Title A name given to the resource A Mini Review of the Zoonotic Threat Potential of Influenza Viruses, Coronaviruses, Adenoviruses, and Enteroviruses Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emily S. Bailey, Jane K. Fieldhouse, Jessica Y. Choi, Gregory C. Gray Description An account of the resource During the last two decades, scientists have grown increasingly aware that viruses are emerging from the human–animal interface. In particular, respiratory infections are problematic; in early 2003, World Health Organization issued a worldwide alert for a previously unrecognized illness that was subsequently found to be caused by a novel coronavirus [severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus]. In addition to SARS, other respiratory pathogens have also emerged recently, contributing to the high burden of respiratory tract infection-related morbidity and mortality. Among the recently emerged respiratory pathogens are influenza viruses, coronaviruses, enteroviruses, and adenoviruses. As the genesis of these emerging viruses is not well understood and their detection normally occurs after they have crossed over and adapted to man, ideally, strategies for such novel virus detection should include intensive surveillance at the human–animal interface, particularly if one believes the paradigm that many novel emerging zoonotic viruses first circulate in animal populations and occasionally infect man before they fully adapt to man; early detection at the human–animal interface will provide earlier warning. Here, we review recent emerging virus treats for these four groups of viruses.

Title A name given to the resource A Mini-Review on Cell Cycle Regulation of Coronavirus Infection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Li Feng, Mingjun Su, Shanshan Qi, Dongbo Sun, Yaping Chen, Da Shi Description An account of the resource Coronaviruses are widespread in nature and infect humans, mammals and poultry. They cause harm to humans and animals. Virus-mediated cell cycle arrest is an essential strategy for viral survival and proliferation in the host cells. A clarification system of the mechanisms of virus-induced cell cycle arrest is highly desirable to promote the development of antiviral therapies. In this review, molecular mechanisms of coronavirus-induced cell cycle arrest were systematically summarized. Moreover, the common features of coronavirus-mediated cell cycle arrest were discussed. This review will provide a theoretical basis for further studies on the infection mechanisms and prevention of coronaviruses.

Title A name given to the resource A Minimally Replicative Vaccine Protects Vaccinated Piglets Against Challenge With the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gagandeep Singh, Pankaj Singh, Angela Pillatzki, Eric Nelson, Brett Webb, Steven Dillberger-Lawson, Sheela Ramamoorthy Description An account of the resource Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), is an economically important enteric coronavirus, with over a 90% mortality rate in neonatal piglets. The virus emerged in the US in 2013, resulting in severe production losses. Effective vaccine development against PEDV is a challenge. Inactivated vaccines are of questionable efficacy. Attenuated vaccines, while more effective, require a relatively long lead development time, are associated with safety concerns and are also unable to prevent new field outbreaks. To combine the safety and efficacy advantages of inactivated and attenuated PEDV vaccines, respectively, in this study, we tested the hypothesis that subjecting PEDV virions to heat treatment at 44°C for 10 min to reversibly unfold structural proteins, followed by exposure to RNAse to fragment the genome, would result in a vaccine preparation with intact viral structure/antigenicity but highly diminished replicative abilities. We expected the vaccine to be both safe and effective in a piglet challenge model. Following the heat and RNAse treatment, PEDV virions had an intact electron microscopic ultrastructure and were amplified only in the 3rd passage in Vero cells, indicating that diminished replication was achieved in vitro. Strong PEDV spike-protein specific and virus neutralizing antibody responses were elicited in vaccinated piglets. Upon challenge, all vaccinated pigs were protected against fecal viral shedding and intestinal pathology, while the unvaccinated controls were not. The vaccine virus was not detected in the fecal matter of vaccinated pigs prior to challenge; nor did they develop intestinal lesions. Thus, the described approach has significant promise in improving current approaches for PEDV immunization.

Title A name given to the resource A Model for Optimizing the Structure of Teaching Techniques for Distance Learning in the Russian Higher Education System Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Zhanna Gardanova, Vadim Ponkratov, Nikolay Kuznetsov, Natalya Nikitina, Olesya Dudnik, Endzhe Latypova, Sergey Shcherbatykh Description An account of the resource This study aims to develop a methodical approach to optimize the structure of teaching techniques and approaches to distance education, as exemplified by Russian universities, to enhance students’ professional competencies. A pedagogical experiment was conducted with the participation of 746 second to fourth year students majoring in engineering at the Ural Federal University in Russia. The coefficients for the relative importance of professional competencies were obtained through expert assessment. The number of experts was 40 faculty members with teaching experience of more than five years. The pedagogical experiment revealed the regularities of the influence of the forms of distance learning on the formation of students’ professional competency levels. The values of students’ developmental competency levels have been determined. Non-linear regression models have been developed based on the values of the integral level of professional competencies and the percentage of distance-learning forms in the number of instructional hours. The proposed methodological approach will be useful for university professors and teachers in identifying the most effective forms of distance learning and in differentiating teaching methods not only in the context of the general pandemic but also in the natural conditions of the educational process.

Title A name given to the resource A Model for the Spread of Infectious Diseases with Application to COVID-19 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kathrin Spendier, Ricardo A. G. Unglaub Description An account of the resource Given the present pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2 virus, the authors tried fitting existing models for the daily loss of lives. Based on data reported by Worldometers on the initial stages (first wave) of the pandemic for countries acquiring the disease, the authors observed that the logarithmic rendering of their data hinted the response of a first-order process to a step function input, which may be modeled by a three-parameters function, as described in this paper. This model was compared against other similar, log(N)-class of models that are non-compartmental type (such as the susceptible, infected, and removed, or SIR models), obtaining good fit and statistical comparison results, where N denotes the cumulative number of daily presumed deaths. This simple first-order response model can also be applied to bacterial and other biological growth phenomena. Here we describe the model, the numerical methods utilized for its application to actual pandemic data, and the statistical comparisons with other models which shows that our simple model is comparatively outstanding, given its simplicity. While researching the models available, the authors found other functions that can also be applied, with extra parameters, to be described in follow-on articles.
