Goosegrass, Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn., is a serious weed in bermudagrass, Cynodon spp. Rich., golf and sports turf. Reduction of canopy gaps such as divots might discourage goosegrass establishment because turf canopy reduces sunlight that could stimulate goosegrass seed germination. The objective was to compare goosegrass seedling emergence and growth under different conditions of bermudagrass canopy, including bare soil and divots of different ages, and the effect of fertilization rates. The first experiment compared surface treatments. Goosegrass seeds were planted monthly for 12 months in bare soil and divoted pots in a glasshouse. Initial goosegrass seedling emergence was large in the first month after planting, 23% in divots and 20% in bare soil, compared with only 9% emergence from canopy. Reduced emergence occurred from 2 to 8 months in canopy, divots, and bare soil. Cumulative goosegrass emergence was 44% in divots, 40% in bare soil, and 31% in canopy. In a second experiment, goosegrass seeds were planted in divots 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks old. Divots were visibly closed within 4 to 6 weeks. By 9 weeks after seed planting, goosegrass seedling emergence was reduced 72% after planting in 10-week-old divots compared with fresh, 0-week divots. Goosegrass continued to emerge through all 63 weeks observed after seed planting. High fertilization rate, 123 g N/m2/year, from 10 to 63 weeks reduced cumulative late seedling emergence 34%, compared with halfrate fertilization, probably due to denser canopy under high fertilization. In a third experiment, goosegrass seedlings planted in closed bermudagrass canopy grew 90% less, in root and shoot fresh and dry mass, compared with seedlings planted in divots. Across all experiments, goosegrass emergence and growth were reduced by increased canopy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fungal diseases in Brazilian regions with tropical and subtropical climates reduce the production potential of corn crops. The use of fungicides is one of the strategies to maintain productivity. This study evaluated the agronomic performance and grain quality of corn hybrids associated with the preventive use of fungicides in subtropical environments. Six experiments were conducted in Santa Maria-RS, São Vicente do Sul-RS, and Frederico Westphalen-RS during two sowing seasons. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with a split-plot arrangement, in which the main plot consisted of two levels of the fungicide factor (with and without) and the sub-plot consisted of six levels of corn hybrids (AG9025, AS1730, P3016, MG300, DKB230, and FEROZ). A total of 216 experimental plots were evaluated for grain productivity, and eight plants per plot were evaluated for other traits, totaling 1,728 evaluated plants. Therefore, environmental conditions influence the interaction between the factors of fungicide use and hybrid cultivar positioning, with no significant interaction in years with a water deficit. Early sowings in subtropical environments indicate better agronomic performance and a lower percentage of moldy grains regardless of the cultivation location, contributing to grain quality.

This study aims to determine the effect of microbial fertilizers that contain living cells or microbial strains that strengthen plant roots and promote early germination, applied to corn seeds, on corn and Amaranthus palmeri growth under competition. In the pot studies, four microbial fertilizers with different contents (Accudo, BMusa Green, BMusa Vita, Bontera) were applied to corn seeds according to the label instructions, and the effects of applications on height, fresh and dry weights of corn and A. palmeri were investigated under monoculture, one and two A. palmeri competition. Experiments were conducted with 15 treatments, 2 repetitions, and 4 replications. When the experiments were terminated, no effect of microbial fertilizer treatments was observed in terms of height, fresh and dry weight of corn plants grown under the same competitive conditions. The effect of the treatments on A. palmeri was obtained only in the corn + one A. palmeri condition, when Accudo application reduced the height of A. palmeri. However, this effect was not seen in fresh and dry weights and other competitive conditions. It is thought that carrying out the studies in pot conditions where plant growth is limited may have produced these results, and different results may be obtained in field conditions.

Recognizing the vital role of a positive city image in attracting stakeholders, urban officials are increasingly implementing cultural branding strategies to establish and highlight their city's distinct character. Culture, essential in urban development, shapes identity and local economy, encouraging social cohesion and sustainability. According to existing research, strategies for branding places—and cities in particular—through arts and culture include associating them with a famous personality (such as Barcelona's perceived connection with Gaudi), flagship buildings (like Paris with the Eiffel Tower) and hallmark events (as exemplified by Cannes and its Film Festival). The European Capital of Culture awarded annually by the European Union, which associates a city with a good cultural reputation, was a favorable starting point for this research. Fourteen EcoC Bidbooks brought forward by candidate cities bidding for the title within the 2020–2026 time frame were analyzed in order to investigate essential components of city branding. The study delves into aspects such as perceived image of European Capital of Culture candidates, problems behind this perceived image and ideal city image, revealing recurrent themes that define cultural European cities today. In addition, the research identifies new strategies that complete Ashworth's list (such as culture tailored to a particular natural environment, alternative spaces turned into culture hubs, artistic transportation, historical moments and movements, culture gamification, grassroots culture, culture thematization, highlighting the cultures of minorities, cultural fusions and embracing local folklore and mythical creatures). This helps bridge a gap in the specialized literature on cultural place branding. The study's originality extends to the analysis of Ecoc Bidbooks as a sum of cultural branding strategies proposed by the candidate cities. Each Bidbook is in fact a cultural vision of the city under optimum financial circumstances, thereby carrying a significant weight in the realm of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study was conducted to understand the role of different soybean production systems and soil chemical and physical attributes on phytonematode population density in a physical model of production systems. In an area of 28 hectares, the following production systems were established 26 years ago: a) conventional system (CS) - succession of soybeans in summer and oats in winter, and continuous soil preparation with disc harrow; b) no-till system (NTS) - with rotation of summer crops (soybeans and corn) and winter crops (wheat, oats, and fodder radish); c) integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) - conducted in no-till system and using Urochloa brizantha (cultivar Piatã) pasture, in crop-livestock rotation every two years; d) permanent pasture system (PP) - U. brizantha (cultivar Piatã) with beef cattle. Twenty six years after the systems were installed, soil samples were taken for nematological analysis and analysis of the soil's chemical and physical attributes. The results showed an almost absolute prevalence of the reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis, Rr) in the area. The PP system had the lowest population (average of 2 Rr/200cc), followed by the ICLS systems (average of 12 to 25 Rr/200cc). The highest population densities were observed in the CS system (1068 Rr/200cc) and the NTS system when soybeans were grown in the last two years before sampling (1361 Rr/200cc). The highest population densities of R. reniformis were associated with higher soil density in the arable layer, higher K and P levels in the soil, and lower organic matter contents.

ABSTRACT The use of corn hybrids adapted to the soil and climate conditions of the cultivation region under adequate optimum plant density is a determining factor for the maximization of grain yield. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the productivity of corn hybrids under two sowing densities during the 2020/21 crop season in the medium-high Uruguay region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The corn hybrids AS1555 PRO3, B2401 PWU, B2418 VYHR, B2612 PWU, BG7061 YHR, DKB235 PRO3, NS45 VIP3, NS73 VIP3, NS80 VIP3, P2501, P3016 VYHR, P3565 PWU and 30F53 VYHR were submitted to densities of 66,667 and 88,889 plants ha-1, in a randomized block design with ten replications. Corn hybrids showed superior grain yield when subjected to the density of 88,889 plants ha-1 in the medium-high Uruguay region of Rio Grande do Sul, surpassing in most cases the state and national average yield of harvest 2020/21. Most of the corn hybrids used present potential for cultivation at higher sowing density than their respective recommendations. Considering the superior productivity of hybrids NS80 VIP3, B2401 PWU and NS73 VIP3, their cultivation under conditions similar to those of the study is recommended.

This paper addresses the conservation problems of the cave of Altamira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Santillana del Mar, Cantabria, Spain, due to the effects of moisture and water inside the cave. The study focuses on the description of methods for estimating the trajectory and zones of humidity from the external environment to its eventual dripping on valuable cave paintings. To achieve this objective, several multisensor remote sensing techniques, both aerial and terrestrial, such as 3D laser scanning, a 2D ground penetrating radar, photogrammetry with unmanned aerial vehicles, and high-resolution terrestrial techniques are employed. These tools allow a detailed spatial analysis of the moisture and water in the cave. The paper highlights the importance of the dolomitic layer in the cave and how it influences the preservation of the ceiling, which varies according to its position, whether it is sealed with calcium carbonate, actively dripping, or not dripping. In addition, the crucial role of the central fracture and the areas of direct water infiltration in this process is examined. This research aids in understanding and conserving the site. It offers a novel approach to water-induced deterioration in rock art for professionals and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to identify the cultural profile from the perspective of the dimension individualism - collectivism manifested at the level of a public institution, by interpreting the opinions expressed by the human resources questioned, namely public officials, civil servants and contractual staff, with reference to the Gura-Humorului City Hall. The conclusion drawn as a result of the micro-research carried out shows that, in the analyzed public organization, the human resources questioned manifest, to some extent, collective values: the help given to the coworker with the risk of sanctions, the power of the group is decisive for the efficient resolution of public affairs compared with individual strength, higher productivity when working in a group, not declaring a colleague's fact of taking long and unjustified breaks.

This work investigates the historical development of the Débora Arango Arts Technological Institute, from its gene-sis in the first music and arts classes taught at the Miguel Uribe Restrepo Culture Center, to the transition process to the new campus in the Débora Arango Cultural Center. Based on interviews with the founding teachers Jhon Man-uel Restrepo, Edwin Vélez, the rector Juan Carlos Mejía Gi-raldo and the Academic Vice-rector, Paola Cristina Gómez Cano, an attempt is made to recognize the constitutive ele-ments that allowed the consolidation of a pedagogical proj-ect that tends towards integration, knowledge and artis-tic practices, discover in this complexity of administrative management, the pillars of teaching that gave rise to aca-demic production within the framework of the PFI. Resigni-fy the laborious process that allowed the development of an articulated system that currently stands as an institutional management model and achieved recognition from the Co-lombian Ministry of National Education with the qualified registration of 16 education programs and the commitment of the Municipality of Envigado so that today the project of its own campus is a reality on the verge of materializing. An investigation that arises with the intention of contribut-ing to the construction of new knowledge related to artistic practices and contributing to the consolidation of the insti-tutional history and identity as Débora Arango Technolog-ical Arts. Finally, this study seeks to invite reflection from the Cultural Projects school to establish the theoretical lines that will promote future cultural studies, the methodolog-ical perspectives on creation and the institutional future as an academic project for the reconstruction of the social bonds, the contribution to the construction of public policies in the creative sector and the strengthening of cultural eco-systems, from management, research, and creation.

La adquisición de bienes culturales con destino a las colecciones públicas (museos, archivos, bibliotecas o fundaciones) es uno de los mecanismos necesarios para acrecentar el Patrimonio Histórico Español. Las administraciones públicas tienen el deber de responder al mandato constitucional establecido en el artículo 46, que hace referencia al enriquecimiento de tal patrimonio cultural como deber de todos los poderes públicos. La Administración General del Estado cuenta con un organismo asesor clave a este respecto: la Junta de Calificación, Valoración y Exportación de Bienes del Patrimonio Histórico Español. Por su parte, no todas las administraciones autonómicas cuentan con organismos de similar naturaleza en sus ámbitos de actuación. En este artículo nos proponemos un estudio de la cuestión, analizando las diversidades regionales existentes.

Integrating geomatics remote sensing technologies, including 3D terrestrial laser scanning, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground penetrating radar enables the generation of comprehensive 2D, 2.5D, and 3D documentation for caves and their surroundings. This study focuses on the Altamira Cave's karst system in Spain, resulting in a thorough 3D mapping encompassing both cave interior and exterior topography along with significant discontinuities and karst features in the vicinity. Crucially, GPR mapping confirms that primary vertical discontinuities extend from the near-surface (Upper Layer) to the base of the Polychrome layer housing prehistoric paintings. This discovery signifies direct interconnections helping with fluid exchange between the cave's interior and exterior, a groundbreaking revelation. Such fluid movement has profound implications for site conservation. The utilization of various GPR antennas corroborates the initial hypothesis regarding fluid exchanges and provides concrete proof of their occurrence. This study underscores the indispensability of integrated 3D mapping and GPR techniques for monitoring fluid dynamics within the cave. These tools are vital for safeguarding Altamira, a site of exceptional significance due to its invaluable prehistoric cave paintings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the impact of the consumption experience on cultural management. Although arts and cultural industries have served as the cradle for the initial conceptualization of this new paradigm, the managerial processes for designing and managing engaging consumption experiences in these industries have ample room for improvement. Our conceptual paper focuses on the revision of cultural management based on consumption experiences. Therefore, it presents five managerial pillars that require a thorough revision by cultural organizations aiming to offer compelling consumption experiences: (1) adopting well-being as their ultimate goal; (2) implementing customer-centricity in their processes; (3) expanding the scope of organizations to encompass the cultural ecosystems; (4) extending the timeline of the consumption experience according to the customer journey; and (5) integrating online and offline channels through omnichannel strategies. Finally, this paper concludes by presenting the innovative solutions that emerge for each of the aforementioned managerial pillars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the culture of ethnic groups seems to be part of the dynamics of every society, in Kosovo's cultural management policy, the long-standing discrepancy between regulatory investments and representation of minority heritage raises questions about credible solutions that should be implemented so that the entire cultural wealth of Kosovo becomes a resource not only for local but also for regional development. This paper begins with the insufficient cultural representation of Kosovo Bosniaks as an ethnic group. Previous critiques suggest that an in-depth study of ethnicity in Kosovo's cultural framework would provide a more nuanced understanding of the management of the cultural environment. Therefore, this research aims at the economic assessment of the cultural development of the Republic of Kosovo based on ethnicity. The meta-analysis of statistical data from the quarterly and annual budget reports of the Republic of Kosovo screens the period from 2014 to 2022. The research results confirm that the cultural heritage of the Bosnian ethnic group is still underutilized at the local and regional level as a resource of Kosovar society. In addition, a general stagnation of investment in Kosovo's culture was found, which does not follow other economic indicators. We believe that this study provides several contributions: first of all, a deeper understanding of cultural management in Kosovo, which confirms the need for a new strategy, i.e., a policy of managing cultural models on an ethnic basis. At the same time, it provides a conceptual framework that could enable a better operationalization of the management of cultural ethnicity in Kosovo, as well as the initial content for future research of this kind.

Rock art offers traces of our most remote past and was made with mineral and organic substances in shelters, walls, or the ceilings of caves. As it is notably fragile, it is fortunate that some instances remain intact—but a variety of natural and anthropogenic factors can lead to its disappearance. Therefore, as a valuable cultural heritage, rock art requires special conservation and protection measures. Geomatic remote-sensing technologies such as 3D terrestrial laser scanning (3DTLS), drone flight, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) allow us to generate exhaustive documentation of caves and their environment in 2D, 2.5D, and 3D. However, only its combined use with 3D geographic information systems (GIS) lets us generate new cave maps with details such as overlying layer thickness, sinkholes, fractures, joints, and detachments that also more precisely reveal interior–exterior interconnections and gaseous exchange; i.e., the state of senescence of the karst that houses the cave. Information of this kind is of great value for the research, management, conservation, monitoring, and dissemination of cave art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cultural management is one of the most recurring concepts for the management of public cultural policies and due to its epistemic and methodological scope, it is located at the center of attention by a group of researchers from the Cuban social sciences. The reflections that are written in this article are part of two research projects, one referred to the characterization and improvement of the management of cultural institutions, the second, Cuenta Cuba, both from the Ministry of Culture and whose headquarters are the Center for Cuban and Caribbean Social Studies and the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba, of Ciego de Avila. The incursions made into the culture system, 12 years after the publication of an article on cultural management by Martínez & Expósito (2011), reveal fractures and point to new reconsiderations in management in a scenario of cultural changes.

At the turn of the XX century, in an age of information, all kinds of indicators were created to measure human activity, including culture, cultural observatories have the higuest priority for Lati America due to the perennal search for an identity, and of new sources of income. A cultural observatory functioned intermittently in Ceutec (Technological University Centre) in the city of San Pedro Sula republic of Honduras. This article summaryzes the results of this experience, quantitative and qualitative results are described. The mainf results of the study included: There are an intermittent series of cultural activities in San Pedro Sula all time of the year, these activities need more promotion, difussion, and commitment from the authorities (La prensa, 2009), Ceutec must resume this initiative and the creation of institutions that centralize the promotion and difussion of culture is highly recomended.

In this paper we outline the main features of a model of cooperative cultural organization in the city of Buenos Aires, through a qualitative analysis focused on a subsector of the arts that correlates various dimensions; sociopolitical, economic, cultural and territorial. It is based on the hypothesis that organizations regulated by reciprocity dedicated to artistic production and/or programming have the potential to establish such a relationship with their context, that it allows seeing and questioning hegemony. However, the practices of these actors are not determined exclusively by a habitus of reciprocal solidarity, but instead make room for the critical capacities of their members who prioritize various values and logics of action according to the nature of each situation. On the other hand, they are organizations located in a city marked by neoliberal policies, and therefore they are crossed by other elements of the culture of higher hierarchy and possibilities of incidence. Taking into account all this complexity, the research sought to understand how reciprocity is translated as an ethical and normative precept in the concrete practices of these urban cultural organizations.

A comparative study that analyzes the relationship between archaeological interventions in the districts of Supe Puerto and Paramonga, located in the province of Barranca, department of Lima, and the identity conformation of their respective secondary school student groups. During the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this relationship is evaluated through semi-structured interviews with students from two schools. Additionally, information on archaeological interventions in general was reviewed and the most representative archaeological sites of each district were visited. The results indicate that there is a relative difference in the construction of identity between the student groups of the districts, which is understood by the current situation of the archaeological sites and the specific social interaction that occurs in the context of the archaeological practice.
