RESUMO: Entender aspectos da germinação de sementes de espécies nativas do Cerrado pode auxiliar na escolha de espécies a serem utilizadas na restauração de ecossistemas degradados. Portanto, o estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito de cápsulas biodegradáveis na germinação de sementes de três espécies arbóreas típicas de fisionomias florestais do Cerrado (Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Anadenanthera colubrina e Dipteryx alata). O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, com dois tratamentos: semeadura no interior de cápsulas biodegradáveis e semeadura direta na superfície do substrato. Duas sementes de cada espécie foram utilizadas por tratamento, as quais foram acomodadas em sacos plásticos com substrato arenoso oriundo da classe Neossolo Quartzarênico. Para cada tratamento, foram utilizados cinco blocos (repetições), com 20 sacos plásticos cada. A casa de vegetação teve condições controladas de temperatura e umidade relativa. Dentro das cápsulas, os resultados mostraram que as sementes de baru, angico-branco e tamboril apresentaram germinação de 97%, 42% e 12%, respectivamente. Por outro lado, na semeadura direta, a germinação foi de 15% para baru, 21% para angico-branco e 8% para tamboril. Os resultados indicam que o uso de cápsulas biodegradáveis favorece a germinação das espécies do Cerrado estudadas. Assim, tanto a utilização das cápsulas quanto as espécies elencadas são recomendadas em projetos de restauração ecológica.

ABSTRACT: A good grasp of the different facets of seed germination of the plant species native to the Cerrado will facilitate the selection of species that can be used to restore degraded ecosystems. Hence, the objective of the current study was to confirm the ways biodegradable capsules affect the germination of the seeds of three tree species typical of the physiognomies of the Cerrado forest (Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Anadenanthera colubrina and Dipteryx alata). The experiments, conducted in a greenhouse, included two treatments: seeding performed inside biodegradable capsules and direct seeding on the substrate surface. Two seeds from each of the species were sown in plastic bags containing the Quartzarenic Neosol class of substrates. Using five replicates for each treatment resulted in 20 plastic bags for each. The greenhouse conditions included controlled temperature and relative humidity. Inside the capsules, the findings revealed that the baru, angico-branco and tamboril seeds germinated at the rates of 97%, 42%, and 12%, respectively. However, during direct seeding, germination rates for baru, angico-branco and tamboril were 15%, 21% and 8%. From the findings, it is evident that when biodegradable capsules are used, the germination of all three Cerrado species investigated is favoured. Thus, both capsules and the cited species can be recommended for projects of ecological restoration.

Serial numbers are marks present on several day-to-day objects, created by manufacturers for purposes such as quality control, product tracking and to prevent counterfeiting. In the case of firearms, these characters can be obliterated or damaged by natural processes or intentionally by criminals to prevent positive identification of stolen property. One non-destructive method employed by crime laboratories for the restoration of obliterated characters is the magnetic particle method. The present work aims to study the synthesis and application of waste-made magnetic nanoparticles in the recovery of adulterated markings. A set of analytical-grade materials and metallic waste magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized for comparison purposes. Chemical characterization tests by X-ray fluorescence, morphological tests by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and magnetization tests by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were performed. The efficacy of the synthesized nanoparticles was tested on 1020 steel plates previously engraved and adulterated by sanding. Both homemade magnetic nanoparticles demonstrated superior performance compared to commercial magnetic particles. The application of homemade magnetic particles, especially using waste as the source of production, decreases the cost of the material and is environmentally friendly. The development of this material makes magnetic serial number restoration a better option for widespread use in forensic procedures. daytoday day objects control counterfeiting firearms property nondestructive non destructive wastemade made markings analyticalgrade analytical grade Xray X ray fluorescence SEM, SEM , (SEM) VSM (VSM performed 102 sanding particles production friendly procedures (SEM 10 1

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a sazonalidade da bronquiolite aguda no Brasil durante a temporada 2020–2022 e compará-la com a das temporadas anteriores. Métodos: Os dados de incidência de internações por bronquiolite aguda em lactentes <1 ano de idade foram obtidos do Departamento de Informática da base de dados da Saúde Pública Brasileira para o período entre 2016 e 2022. Esses dados também foram analisados por macrorregiões do Brasil (Norte, Nordeste, Sudeste, Sul e Centro-Oeste). Para descrever características sazonais e de tendência ao longo do tempo, utilizamos o Modelo de Médias Móveis Integradas Autorregressivas Sazonais. Resultados: Em comparação com o período pré-COVID-19, a incidência de hospitalizações relacionadas com bronquiolite aguda diminuiu 97% durante as intervenções não farmacológicas (março de 2020 – agosto de 2021), mas aumentou 95% após a flexibilização das intervenções não farmacológicas (setembro de 2021 – dezembro de 2022), resultando no aumento geral de 16%. Durante o período pré-COVID-19, as hospitalizações por bronquiolite aguda seguiram um padrão sazonal, que foi interrompido em 2020–2021, mas recuperaram-se em 2022, com um pico ocorrido em maio, aproximadamente 4% superior ao pico pré-COVID-19. Conclusões: Este estudo ressalta a influência significativa das intervenções contra a COVID-19 nas hospitalizações por bronquiolite aguda no Brasil. A restauração de um padrão sazonal em 2022 sublinha a interação entre as medidas de saúde pública e a dinâmica das doenças respiratórias em crianças pequenas.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the seasonality of acute bronchiolitis in Brazil during the 2020–2022 season and compare it with the previous seasons. Methods: Data from the incidence of hospitalizations due to acute bronchiolitis in infants <1 year of age were obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Public Health database for the period between 2016 and 2022. These data were also analyzed by macro-regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Southeast, South, and Midwest). To describe seasonal and trend characteristics over time, we used the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Averages Model. Results: Compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, the incidence of hospitalizations related to acute bronchiolitis decreased by 97% during non-pharmacological interventions (March 2020 – August 2021) but increased by 95% after non-pharmacological interventions relaxation (September 2021 – December 2022), resulting in a 16% overall increase. During the pre-COVID-19 period, hospitalizations for acute bronchiolitis followed a seasonal pattern, which was disrupted in 2020–2021 but recovered in 2022, with a peak occurring in May, approximately 4% higher than the pre-COVID-19 peak. Conclusions: This study underscores the significant influence of COVID-19 interventions on acute bronchiolitis hospitalizations in Brazil. The restoration of a seasonal pattern in 2022 highlights the interplay between public health measures and respiratory illness dynamics in young children.

RESUMO: Os padrões paisagísticos em zonas montanhosas com rápido desenvolvimento económico são fortemente afetados por múltiplas atividades humanas. No entanto, as mudanças nas alterações da paisagem nas áreas montanhosas cársticas atribuídas a atividades humanas complexas permanecem obscuras. A investigação sobre o grau de alteração da paisagem em zonas montanhosas sob a influência das atividades humanas é de grande importância para a conservação e gestão científica das paisagens montanhosas. Selecionamos zonas rurais com quatro tipos típicos de acidentes geográficos de pequena escala em áreas montanhosas como objetos de pesquisa e analisamos a resposta das mudanças na perturbação da paisagem rural à atividade humana nessas áreas. Nossos resultados revelam que o grau de alteração da paisagem e a atividade humana influenciam o aumento do índice na maioria das áreas montanhosas. As mudanças na atividade humana e nas perturbações paisagísticas são geralmente observadas na região de baixo relevo do terreno. A utilização intensiva do solo associada ao rápido desenvolvimento econômico tem um sério impacto negativo no grau de perturbação da paisagem, enquanto os projetos de restauração ecológica exercem um impacto positivo. Acelerar a implementação dos projetos para área “verde” e regular a expansão não regulamentada da produção e da terra viva são medidas cruciais para a gestão ecológica em áreas montanhosas cársticas. As futuras estratégias de gestão ecológica deverão centrar-se em áreas de terreno relativamente planas. Nossas descobertas contribuem para a gestão da paisagem e a regulação da atividade humana de diferentes tipos de relevo de pequena escala em áreas montanhosas cársticas.

ABSTRACT: Landscape patterns in mountainous areas with rapid economic development are strongly affected by multiple human activities. However, the changes in landscape disturbances across karst mountainous areas attributed to complex human activities remain unclear. Research on the degree of landscape disturbance in mountainous areas under the influence of human activities is of great significance to the conservation and scientific management of mountainous landscapes. We selected rural zones with four typical small-scale landform types in karst mountainous areas as the research objects and analyzed the response of changes in rural landscape disturbance to human activity in these areas. Our results revealed that the landscape disturbance degree and human activity influence index increase in the majority of karst mountainous areas. The changes in human activity and landscape disturbances are generally observed in the low terrain relief region. High-intensity land use associated with rapid economic development has a serious negative impact on the degree of landscape disturbance, while ecological restoration projects exert a positive impact. Accelerating the implementation of the grain for green project and regulating the unregulated expansion of production and living land are crucial measures for the ecological management in karst mountainous areas. Future ecological management strategies should focus on relatively flat terrain areas. Our findings contributed to the landscape management and human activity regulation of different small-scale landform types in karst mountainous areas. ABSTRACT However unclear landscapes smallscale small scale region Highintensity High intensity

ABSTRACT The mangroves are exposed to threats such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme events, in addition to socioeconomic pressures. This study aimed to carry out a vulnerability and risk climate analysis for the Colombian mangrove socioecosystem. 22 threat indicators, eight of sensitivity and 18 of adaptive capacity were used, and through multivariate numerical analysis, the vulnerability and climate risk indices for Colombian Pacific and Caribbean mangroves were generated. The mangroves that presented the highest risk in the Caribbean were located in the Manaure, Tubará and, Puerto Escondido municipalities, while in the Pacific these high-risk areas were located on the southern coast in the Olaya Herrera, Francisco Pizarro, and La Tola municipalities, and in the northern coast in the Bahía Solano municipality. The threat indicators that captured the greatest variability in the analysis were: sea level rise, change in the coastline, change in water supply, change in mangrove coverage due to change in the coastline, change in temperature and precipitation due to El Niño and La Niña, and human footprint. These results are input for climate management of mangroves in Colombia and will contribute to the National Mangrove Program. Likewise, it can contribute to the National Mangrove Restoration Plan, the Nationally Determined Contribution of Colombia (NDC), the Long-Term Climate Strategy of Colombia E 2050, and the Territorial Plans for Climate Change Adaptation of the states and municipalities.

RESUMEN Los manglares están expuestos a amenazas como el aumento del nivel del mar, la erosión costera, el aumento de la frecuencia e intensidad de eventos extremos, además de presiones socioeconómicas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar un análisis de vulnerabilidad y riesgo climático para el socioecosistema de manglar de Colombia. Se utilizaron 22 indicadores de amenaza, 8 de sensibilidad y 18 de capacidad adaptativa; mediante un análisis numérico multivariado se generaron los índices de vulnerabilidad y riesgo climático para los manglares del Pacífico y del Caribe de Colombia. Los manglares que presentaron mayor riesgo en el Caribe se ubicaron en los municipios de Manaure, Tubará y Puerto Escondido, mientras que en el Pacífico estas áreas de alto riesgo se ubicaron en la costa sur, en los municipios de Olaya Herrera, Francisco Pizarro y La Tola, y en la costa norte de Bahía Solano. Los indicadores de amenaza que capturaron la mayor variabilidad del análisis fueron: el aumento del nivel del mar, el cambio en la línea de costa, el cambio en la oferta hídrica, el cambio en la cobertura de manglares por cambio en la línea de costa, el cambio en la temperatura y la precipitación debido a El Niño y La Niña, y la huella humana. Estos resultados son un insumo para la gestión climática de los manglares en Colombia y contribuirán al Programa Nacional de Manglares. Asimismo, podrán contribuir al Plan Nacional de Restauración de Manglares, la Contribución Nacionalmente Determinada de Colombia (NDC), la Estrategia Climática de Largo Plazo de Colombia E2050, y los Planes Territoriales de Adaptación al Cambio Climático de los departamentos y municipios.

Summary: The soil seed bank is key to plant succession. However, agricultural activities have had a great impact on the vegetation and its composition. The aim was to determine the soil seed bank in different grazing agroecosystems in the central part of Veracruz state, Mexico. Richness, abundance, diversity, equity, dominance and similarity of the species were quantified and compared among four agroecosystems (silvopastoral, pasture-trees, traditional grazing, and Acahual or secondary vegetation) in Veracruz, Mexico during the year 2017. Samples were collected. of soil at two depths (0-5, > 5-10 cm). A statistical difference was found in the seed bank (P < 0.05) in silvopastoral at both depths, 0-5 (H’ = 2.13) and 5-10 (H’ = 1.86). Equity and dominance were higher for this agroecosystem (0.86) and for Acahual (0.58) with statistical differences (P < 0.05). No statistical differences were found at sites between depths (P > 0.05). Similarity was greater than 50% at all sites and increased with soil depth. The evidence suggests that the greatest diversity of the seed bank was in silvopastoral from 0 to 5 cm deep. The seed bank has potential for the restoration of vegetation, mainly herbaceous, and can promote the development of shrubs and trees, despite the management of cattle ranching sites.

Resumen: El banco de semillas del suelo es clave para la sucesión vegetal. Sin embargo, las actividades agrícolas han tenido un gran impacto en la vegetación y su composición. El objetivo fue determinar el banco de semillas del suelo en diferentes agroecosistemas de pastoreo en la parte central del estado de Veracruz, México. Se cuantificó y comparó la riqueza, abundancia, diversidad, equidad, dominancia y similitud de las especies entre cuatro agroecosistemas (silvopastoril, pastos-árboles, pastoreo tradicional, y Acahual o vegetación secundaria) en Veracruz, México durante el año 2017. Se recolectaron muestras de suelo a dos profundidades (0-5, > 5-10 cm). Se encontró diferencia estadística del banco de semillas (P < 0.05) en silvopastoril en ambas profundidades, 0-5 (H’= 2.13) y 5-10 (H´ = 1.86). La equidad y la dominancia fueron mayores para este agroecosistema (0.86) y para Acahual (0.58) con diferencias estadísticas (P < 0.05). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticas en sitios entre profundidades (P > 0.05). La similitud fue mayor al 50% en todos los sitios y aumentó con la profundidad del suelo. La evidencia sugiere que la mayor diversidad del banco de semillas estuvo en silvopastoril de 0 a 5 cm de profundidad. El banco de semillas tiene potencial para la restauración de la vegetación, principalmente herbácea y puede promover el desarrollo de arbustos y árboles, a pesar del manejo de sitios para la ganadería.

Abstract Background: Copal is a resin that is used in religious and cultural ceremonies; it is extracted from Bursera bipinnata and Bursera copallifera, and obtained both from natural populations and maintained trees. Questions: What propagation method (rooted cuttings or seeds) is more suitable for each species? How is field performance in terms of survival and growth of rooted cuttings and seedlings for each species? Study species: Bursera bipinnata and B. copallifera Study site and dates: Santiago Tepetlapa, Morelos 2016-1018 Methods: Plants were propagated in 2015-2016. In 2016, 133 plants were planted: 42 rooted cuttings and 27 seedlings of B. bipinnata, and 26 and 38, respectively, of B. copallifera. Growth was evaluated for one year and survival for two years. Relative growth rate (RGR) was measured, as well as biomass allocation to different organs. Results: In B. bipinnata propagation by rooted cuttings is more feasible, and by seeds in B. copallifera. During the first-year rooted cuttings showed higher survival than seedlings, but in the second year it was higher in cuttings of B. bipinnata (65 %), than in all other plants (< 15 %). There were differences between species in final biomass allocation in rooted cuttings, but not in seedlings; there were no differences between species in RGR. Conclusions: Rooted cuttings showed a better performance than seedlings; especially those of B. bipinnata. These results can contribute to the establishment of plantations of these species in agroforestry systems and restoration.

Resumen Antecedentes: El copal es una resina que se usa en ceremonias religiosas y culturales; se extrae de Bursera bipinnata y Bursera copallifera y se obtiene tanto de poblaciones silvestres como de árboles manejados. Preguntas: ¿Qué método de propagación (estacas o semillas) resulta más adecuado para cada especie? ¿Cómo es el desempeño en campo en términos de supervivencia y crecimiento de estacas y plántulas de cada especie? Especies de estudio: Bursera bipinnata y B. copallifera Sitio y años de estudio: Santiago Tepetlapa, Morelos 2016-2018 Métodos: Las plantas se propagaron en 2015-2016. En 2016 se trasplantaron 133 plantas: 42 estacas y 27 plántulas de B. bipinnata y 26 y 38 respectivamente de B. copallifera. Se evaluó su crecimiento durante un año y la supervivencia durante dos. Se midió la tasa relativa de crecimiento (TRC) y la asignación de biomasa a distintos órganos. Resultados: En B. bipinnata es más factible la propagación por estacas y en B. copallifera por semillas. El primer año las estacas tuvieron una mayor supervivencia que las plántulas, pero en el segundo fue mayor en las estacas de B. bipinnata (65 %), que en el resto de las plantas (< 15 %). Se registraron diferencias entre especies en la asignación final de biomasa en las estacas, pero no en plántulas; la TRC no difirió entre especies. Conclusiones: Las estacas presentaron mejor desempeño que las plántulas; en particular las de B. bipinnata. Estos resultados pueden contribuir al establecimiento de plantaciones de estas especies en sistemas agroforestales y con fines de restauración.

ABSTRACT Lithium disilicate is a vitreous ceramic that contributes to the restoration of teeth. For this purpose, two techniques are used: heat injection technique and CAD/CAM. Objective: To evaluate the in vitro comparison of the injected vs. machined technique of marginal adaptation in lithium disilicate veneers in anterior dies. Material and methods: Shapiro-Wilk and Student’s t-tests were applied to compare the two techniques. Results: It was evidenced that in the marginal adaptation; in the machine and injected technique; the cervical adaptation showed a significant difference of p = 0.000; likewise, the distal adaptation presented a significant difference of p = 0.002. On the other hand, mesial and palatal adaptation did not show significant differences (p= 0.112; 0.817) respectively. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the mean marginal adaptation of the lithium disilicate veneers, however, this presented a better adaptation in the veneers elaborated with the injected technique than the machined technique.

Abstract Introduction: Mining is one of the main drivers of deforestation of tropical forests. This activity affects the storage of aboveground biomass of these ecosystems; therefore, their ability to contribute to the mitigation of global climate change. Objective: To assess the influence of soil properties on the aboveground biomass storage of post-mining forests in the Colombian Pacific. Methods: Plots were established in areas post-mining and with different successional ages (12-15 years, 30-35 years, and mature forest). The aboveground biomass and physicochemical parameters of the soil were measured. Results: An aboveground biomass of 15.58 t ha-1, 35.17 t ha-1, and 178.32 t ha-1 was recorded at 12-15 years, 30-35 years, and mature forests, respectively. The species with the highest biomass content in post-mining forests were Cespedesia spathulata and Clidemia septuplinervia. The aboveground biomass was positively correlated with organic matter (OM), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), CICE, total nitrogen (N), and silt. In contrast, the relationship was negative with sand, aluminum (Al), and potassium (K) content. It was evidenced that the relationship between aboveground biomass and soils differed in each successional age. When evaluating the changes of aboveground biomass and soils in the succession, it was observed that the aboveground biomass and total N increased with the recovery time. At the same time, the P and K decreased with succession. On the other hand, the contents of OM, Mg, Al, Ca, and CICE showed curvilinear tendencies since they increased in the first stages and then decreased in the advanced successional stages. Conclusions: Aboveground biomass increases with forest recovery time in the study area. This increase is influenced by the presence of two dominant species shared among the investigated ecosystems and by the soil’s N, P, and K content.

Resumen Introducción: La minería es una de las principales causas de deforestación de los bosques tropicales. Esta actividad afecta el almacenamiento de biomasa aérea de estos ecosistemas; y, por tanto, su capacidad para contribuir a la mitigación del cambio climático global. Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia de las propiedades del suelo en el almacenamiento de la biomasa aérea de bosques post-minería del Pacífico colombiano. Métodos: Se establecieron parcelas en áreas post-minería con diferentes edades de sucesión (12-15 años, 30-35 años y bosque maduro). Se midió la biomasa aérea y parámetros fisicoquímicos del suelo. Resultados: Se registró una biomasa aérea de 15.58 t ha-1, 35.17 t ha-1 y 178.32 t ha-1 en 12-15 años, 30-35 años y bosque maduro, respectivamente. Las especies con mayor contenido de biomasa en los bosques post-minería fueron Cespedesia spathulata y Clidemia septuplinervia. La biomasa aérea se correlacionó positivamente con la materia orgánica (MO), calcio (Ca), magnesio (Mg), CICE, nitrógeno total (N) y limo. Por el contrario, la relación fue negativa con el contenido de arena, aluminio (Al) y potasio (K). Se evidenció que la relación entre la biomasa aérea y los suelos difería en cada edad sucesional. Al evaluar los cambios de la biomasa aérea y los suelos en la sucesión, se observó que la biomasa aérea y el N total aumentaron con el tiempo de recuperación. Al mismo tiempo, el P y el K disminuyeron con la sucesión. Por otro lado, los contenidos de OM, Mg, Al, Ca, y CICE mostraron tendencias curvilíneas ya que aumentaron en los primeros estadios y luego disminuyeron en los estadios sucesionales avanzados. Conclusiones: la biomasa aérea aumenta con el tiempo de recuperación del bosque en el área de estudio. Este incremento está influenciado por la presencia de dos especies dominantes compartidas entre los ecosistemas investigados y por el contenido de N, P y K del suelo.

SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different oral root canal filling materials on the expression of inflammatory factors and protease related molecules in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). A total of 90 patients with posterior tooth defects who underwent root canal therapy in our hospital were selected. They were divided into an observation group (group A) and a control group (group B) based on different root canal filling materials, with 45 teeth in each group. The group A patients were repaired with fiber post, composite resin combined with zirconia ceramic crown, while the group B patients were repaired with metal post core combined with metal ceramic crown. The clinical effect, periodontal index, restoration success rate, mastication efficiency, periodontal index, restoration effect, and the levels of GCF and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) before and after restoration were compared between the two groups. The clinical efficacy of the group A was better than that of the group B patients. The success rate of repair and chewing efficiency in the group A were higher than those in the group B. The completeness rate, color matching rate, edge fit rate, edge coloring qualification rate, and gingival qualification rate of the group A patients were higher than those of the group B patients. After repair, the levels of GCF and ALP in both groups of patients were higher than before repair, and the group B was raised than the group A. The PLI, GI, and SBI indices of the group A patients were reduced than those of the group B patients. The application of fiber post, composite resin combined with zirconia porcelain crown restoration in patients with posterior tooth defects after root canal treatment can improve the success rate, chewing efficiency, and restoration effect, with little impact on changes in GCF and ALP levels in the body.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar los efectos de diferentes materiales de obturación del canal radicular sobre la expresión de factores inflamatorios y moléculas relacionadas con proteasas en el fluido crevicular gingival (GCF). Se seleccionaron un total de 90 pacientes con defectos de los dientes posteriores que se sometieron a tratamiento de canal en nuestro hospital. Se dividieron en un grupo de observación (grupo A) y un grupo control (grupo B) basado en diferentes materiales de obturación del canal radicular, con 45 dientes en cada grupo. Los dientes de los pacientes del grupo A fueron reparados con poste de fibra, resina compuesta combinada con corona de cerámica de circonio, mientras que los dientes de los pacientes del grupo B fueron reparados con núcleo de poste de metal combinado con corona de cerámica de metal. Se compararon en los dos grupos el efecto clínico, el índice periodontal, la tasa de éxito de la restauración, la eficiencia de la masticación, el índice periodontal, el efecto de la restauración y los niveles de GCF y fosfatasa alcalina (ALP) antes y después de la restauración. La eficacia clínica del grupo A fue mejor que la de los pacientes del grupo B. La tasa de éxito de la reparación y la eficiencia de la masticación en el grupo A fueron mayores que las del grupo B. La tasa de integridad, la tasa de coincidencia de colores, la tasa de ajuste de los bordes, la tasa de calificación de la coloración de los bordes y la tasa de calificación gingival de los pacientes del grupo A fueron mayores que las de los pacientes del grupo B. Después de la reparación, los niveles de GCF y ALP en ambos grupos de pacientes fueron más altos que antes de la reparación, y el grupo B aumentó más que el grupo A. Los índices PLI, GI y SBI de los pacientes del grupo A fueron más reducidos que los pacientes del grupo B. La aplicación de poste de fibra, resina compuesta combinada con restauración de corona de porcelana de circonio en pacientes con defectos de dientes posteriores después del tratamiento de canal puede mejorar la tasa de éxito, la eficiencia de la masticación y el efecto de la restauración, con poco impacto en los cambios en los niveles de GCF y ALP en el cuerpo.

Resumen Antecedentes: Actualmente muchos paisajes están dominados por suelos degradados con baja disponibildiad de fósforo, debido a una baja concentración en el suelo o al secuestro del fósforo por minerales ricos en hierro. Preguntas: ¿Los ácidos orgánicos pueden aumentar la disponibilidad de fósforo y el crecimiento de plantas en suelos bajos en fósforo? De ser así, ¿estos efectos están modulados por hongos ectomicorrícicos? Especies de estudio: Pinus pseudostrobus y su hongo ectomicorrícico Pisolithus arhizus. Sitio y años de estudio: El experimento se realizó en una casa de sombra (35 % de sombra) en Morelia Michoacán en 2015. Métodos: Realizamos dos experimentos con Pinus pseudostrobus y su hongo ectomicorrícico Pisolithus arhizus adicionando seis sales de ácidos orgánicos. Las sales de citrato de sodio, oxalato de sodio, acetato de sodio, tartrato de sodio, succinato de sodio y malato de sodio se añadieron en las siguientes concentraciones 0, 4, 8, 16, 32 y 64 micromolar. Resultados: Las sales orgánicas, particularmente tartrato y malato, solubilizaron el fósforo e incrementaron el crecmiento de las plantas después de 12 meses en ausencia de P. arhizus. En los pinos inoculados con P. arhizus, solamente el citrato, tartrato y succionato aumentaron la biomasa y algunos caracteres morfológicos. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugieren que añadir los ácidos orgánicos apropiados a suelos severamente degradados, pueden ayudar en el establecimiento de los pinos y sus efectos positivos fueron mayores que la asociación con micorrizas para plantas durante las etapas iniciales de colonización por los hongos.

Abstract Background: Many landscapes, both natural and anthropogenic, are dominated by degraded soils that have low phosphorus availability due to low overall phosphorus concentration or to phosphorus sequestration by iron-rich minerals. Questions and / or Hypotheses: Does the application of low molecular weight organic acids improve phosphorus availability and plant growth in phosphorus-poor soils, and is this effect modulated by ectomycorrhizal fungi? Studied species / data description /Mathematical model: Pinus pseudostrobus and its ectomycorrhiza Pisolithus arhizus, in addition to six sodium salts of organic acids. Study site and dates: The experiment was carried out in a shade house (35 % shade) in Morelia, Michoacán in 2015. Methods: We conducted experiments with Pinus pseudostrobus and its ectomycorrhiza Pisolithus arhizus in addition to six sodium salts of organic acids. Sodium salts of citrate, oxalate, acetate, tartrate, succinate and malate were added to the soil at 0, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 micromolar concentrations. Results: The salts of the organic acids-particularly tartrate and malate-solubilized phosphorus and improved plant growth after 12 months in the absence of P. arhizus. When plants were inoculated with P. arhizus, the effect of most organic acids was either detrimental or non-significant. However, citrate, tartrate and succinate improved biomass and morphological parameters. Conclusions: These results suggest that adding appropriate organic acids to heavily degraded soils can aid P. pseudostrobus establishment and its benefits are higher than the association with mycorrhiza for young plants during the initial stages of fungal colonization.

Resumen: Antecedentes: Los incendios de alta severidad representan graves amenazas antropogénicas para los bosques, ya que pueden causar la degradación forestal a escalas irrecuperables. Por lo tanto, comprender los patrones y los impulsores de la regeneración post-incendio es esencial para diseñar propuestas de restauración. Hipótesis: Después de un incendio de alta severidad, esperamos una mayor riqueza de especies y abundancia de individuos en sitios planos que en sitios de ladera, ya que las semillas, los nutrientes y la materia orgánica se acumulan en zonas planas. En comparación con algunas especies de Pinus, las especies de Quercus son más tolerantes a la sequía post-incendio forestal y, por lo tanto, se espera que dominen en las cronosecuencias post-incendio. Sitio de estudio: El estudio se realizó en el Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna “La Primavera”. Métodos: Muestreamos la vegetación y variables microambientales de 2021a 2022 en 18 sitios planos y de ladera, a los 3, 9 y ≥ 20 años desde el último incendio forestal de alta severidad (TDF). Resultados: La riqueza de especies leñosas y herbáceas fue mayor a 3 TDF y 9 TDF. La condición topográfica no determinó significativamente la riqueza y abundancia de especies leñosas, pero la riqueza y abundancia de especies herbáceas fueron significativamente mayores en sitios planos. El encino Quercus resinosa Liebm. fue la especie más dominante a lo largo de la cronosecuencia. Conclusiones: Quercus resinosa representa una especie fundacional para la recuperación de la estructura y composición del bosque. Los sitios planos pueden actuar como núcleos de regeneración, pero los sitios de ladera requieren mayores esfuerzos de restauración.

Abstract: Background: High-severity fires are serious anthropogenic threats to forests, as they can cause forest degradation on unrecoverable scales. Therefore, understanding the patterns and drivers of post-fire regeneration is essential to designing restoration proposals. Hypotheses: After a high-severity fire, we expected greater species richness and abundance of individuals in flat sites than in hillside sites since seeds, nutrients, and organic matter accumulate in flat landforms. Compared to some Pinus species, Quercus species are more drought-tolerant after a forest fire and, therefore, they are expected to dominate post-fire chronosequences. Study site: The study was conducted in the “La Primavera” Flora and Fauna Protection Area. Methods: We sampled vegetation and microenvironmental variables from 2021 to 2022 at 18 sites located on flat and hillside areas, at 3, 9, and ≥ 20 years since the last high-severity forest fires (TSF). Results: The richness of woody and herbaceous species was higher at 3 TSF and 9 TSF. The topographic condition did not significantly drive the richness and abundance of woody species, but richness and abundance of herbaceous species were significantly greater in flat sites. The oak tree Quercus resinosa Liebm. was the dominant species throughout the chronosequence. Conclusions: Quercus resinosa represents a foundational species for recovering forest structure and composition. Flat sites may act as regeneration nuclei, but hillside sites require greater restoration efforts.

Resumen Antecedentes: La información sobre las comunidades templadas es insuficiente, y esto se manifiesta de manera particular en el estado de Michoacán.

Abstract Background: Information about temperate communities is insufficient, and this is particularly evident in the state of Michoacán. Questions: How is a temperate ecosystem established in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) organized in terms of its composition, structure, and specific diversity? Study Site and Date: The analysis was conducted in the fall and winter of 2018 in the Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico. Methods: In 18 plots of 0.1 hectares (20 × 50 m), woody plants with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 2.5 cm were recorded. Information was collected on the number of individuals and stems, basal area, canopy cover, height, alpha diversity, and units were grouped using multivariate techniques. Results: In 1.8 hectares, 55 species were recorded, belonging to 42 genera and 32 families. Pinaceae was the most diverse family with 8 species, followed by Asteraceae with 9 species. Density (500-1,330 individuals per hectare), stems (650-3,040 per hectare), canopy cover (10,999-46,390 m2 ha-1), DBH (9.2-18.9 cm), height (6.5-12 m), and species richness (6-17) varied among plots. 75 % of the basal area (20.1 m2 ha-1) was contributed by pines, oaks contributed 14 % (3.6 m2 ha-1), and 11 % came from other species (2.9 m2 ha-1). Conclusions: The forest ecosystems in the park exhibit ecological properties typical of temperate forests in the TMVB. This study serves as a reference point for establishing quantifiable ecological restoration goals in the park.

ABSTRACT Residues generated in sugarcane production such as biochar, originated from bagasse burning, are used as a fertilizer source, which can increase forage dry matter yield, as well as improving soil chemical attributes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of using biochar from sugarcane bagasse burning and mineral fertilization, as well as their association, on the dry matter yield of Urochloa decumbens and on the chemical attributes of the soil. The design was randomized blocks, which consisted of eight treatments and four blocks. The treatments were: T1- mineral fertilization; T2- fertilization with limestone plus mineral fertilizer; T3- liming; T4- biochar; T5- biochar plus mineral fertilizer; T6- liming plus biochar; T7- double fertilization with biochar and T8- control.

Resumen La estabilidad del color de la restauración temporal es muy importante, especialmente en zonas sensibles desde el punto de vista estético. En la presente investigación, el objetivo fue determinar el efecto del cemento temporal sobre el color de coronas temporales realizadas mediante métodos de prensado convencionales (indirectos) y tecnologías CAM/CAD utilizando fresadora e impresora 3D. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en un laboratorio y se utilizó color A2 en todos los métodos de fabricación. El color de las restauraciones se midió mediante un espectrofotómetro después de cementarlas con cemento de resina provisional. Luego se calcularon los cambios de color de las muestras (de 0 a 100) utilizando el sistema CIE Lab. El análisis de los datos se basó en métodos de estadística descriptiva y pruebas estadísticas, incluido el análisis de varianza unidireccional (ANOVA) y la prueba post hoc de Tukey. Según los resultados del análisis de varianza unidireccional, hubo una diferencia significativa entre los tres grupos en términos de los índices a y b (P<0,001), pero en términos del índice l, no hubo diferencias significativas entre los tres grupos (P=0,250). Además, según la prueba post hoc de Tukey, se observó una relación significativa entre el primer y el segundo grupo de impresoras 3D y entre el primer y el tercer grupo de fresado (P<0,001). Sin embargo, no se observó ninguna diferencia significativa en el grupo de prensado convencional. Los resultados mostraron que el mayor cambio de color entre los tres métodos fue con el método de impresión 3D, y la menor cantidad fue con el método de fresado.

Abstract The color stability of temporary restoration is crucial, especially in sensitive areas in terms of aesthetics. This research aimed to determine the effect of temporary cement on the color of temporary crowns made by conventional pressing methods (indirect) and CAM/CAD technologies using milling machines and 3D printers. This study was carried out in a laboratory, utilizing A2 color in all manufacturing methods. The color of the restorations was measured by a spectrophotometer after cementation with semi-permanent resin cement. Subsequently, color changes of the samples (ranging from 0 to 100) were calculated using the Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) Lab system. Data analysis was based on descriptive statistics methods and statistical tests, including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post hoc test. According to the results of ANOVA, there was a significant difference between the three groups in terms of the 'a' and 'b' indexes (P<0.001). However, regarding the 'l' index, no significant difference was observed among the three groups (P=0.250). Also, based on Tukey's post hoc test, a significant relationship was seen between the first and second pairs in the 3D printer group, and between the first and third pairs in the milling group (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the conventional pressing group. The results showed that the 3D printing method exhibited the highest amount of color change among the three methods, while the milling method demonstrated the lowest amount of change.
