The Extraordinary Ordinary: Re‐engineering Multilingualism as a Natural Category

The demand for natural infant care products, including diapers, has increased. However, few disposable diapers have been able to provide the performance caregivers desire while also incorporating ingredients consistent with the “natural” category. In an examiner-blinded clinical study, the performance of a new cotton-enhanced diaper with high-performance materials was compared with an existing natural diaper offering. A total of 131 infants wore 1 of the 2 diapers for a 4-week period. Diaper performance was assessed based on skin marking assessments, scored by a trained grader, and incidence of diaper dermatitis. Skin grading for diaper dermatitis was assessed at 4 sites in the diaper area. The new diaper offering was associated with less skin marking and significantly less diaper rash at the genitals and intertriginous regions versus the comparator. These data suggest that the new diaper provided significant improvement in both skin marking and prevalence of diaper rash.

Abstract The crown of thorns starfish is one of the main threats to damage to coral reefs worldwide. Research on Acanthaster coral predator density in the Pulau Dua area, South Aceh district, has been carried out in March 2021, using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method. The results showed that the density Acanthaster planci obtained 42 individuals/12.000m2 with natural criteria. Corals fractures can support the life of Acanthaster planci substrate conditions dominated by coral fractures. It can also grow thread algae (Coraline) and encrusting algae, which will then be eaten by Acanthaster planci which are still in the larval stage. This research concludes that the density of Acanthaster planci obtained is still in the natural category with coral reef conditions including good criteria.

First Time

The area known as Parque Ermida Dom Bosco on the shores of the Paranoá Lake, 7.8 km from the centre of Brasília (Rodoviária do Plano Piloto), Distrito Federal, Brazil, is a preservation area of Monumento Natural category (since 2019), and one of the few protected areas of the Distrito Federal without a floristic list. Collecting focused on the vascular flora and was undertaken as monthly, 1-day events from August of 2017 to August of 2018. Our study identified 293 species, of which half (50%) were distributed among just seven botanical families: Fabaceae (42 species), Asteraceae (31 spp.), Malpighiaceae (19 spp.), Myrtaceae (19 spp.), Lamiaceae (14 spp.), Poaceae (12 spp.), and Euphorbiaceae (8 spp.), a result that is congruent with the known Cerrado flora. Anemopaegma goyazense (Bignoniaceae) was recorded from a protected area in the Distrito Federal for the first time; other regional species with narrow geographic distributions recorded were Mimosa gatesiae (Fabaceae), Myrcia capitata and Myrcia federalis (Myrtaceae).
