Entrepreneurial Behaviour of Rural Women

The study was conducted in purposively selected block of Indore district of Madhya Pradesh during 2009-10 in order to know the entrepreneurial behaviour of rural women in terms of their socio-economic, psychological and family background attributes. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents exhibited medium to low level of entrepreneurial behaviour, while very few of them exhibited high level of entrepreneurial behaviour. The study further revealed that education, family income, risks willingness of the respondents and training received by them had positive relationship with their entrepreneurial behaviour. The study also concluded that age, family occupation, owing responsibility for failure, family type, family size, birth status in parental home, present status in in-law’s home and length of experience had negative relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour. It is further concluded that dual responsibility, lack of resources, poor family support, late payment by clients, mobility and marketing constraints were the major constraints perceived by majority of the rural woman entrepreneurs.
Effects of locally produced bacterial phytase on humoral immunity, live body weight and blood characteristics in broilers vaccinated against Newcastle disease

Immune responses in association with body weight performance and hemato-biochemical constituents might influence the Newcastle disease (ND) vaccination by dietary phytase supplementation (Enterobacter sakazakii ASUA273). The objective of the study was to determine the effects of bacterial phytase supplementation on humoral immunity in association with live body weight and blood characteristics of broilers. Male-day-old Cobb broilers (n=180) were assigned into four phytase treatments (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 FTU/kg-1 of diet) with 12 cages comprised of 3 replicates and each cage contained 15 birds. Birds were maintained on formulated basal diet based with available phosphorus (0.19%) that lasted up to six weeks in feed. Birds were vaccinated with a live ND vaccine at day-old and 21 day-old. Two birds were randomly selected from each treatment weekly. Specific antibody to ND, non-specific immunoglobins (IgM, IgG, and IgA) and live body weight were measured weekly. At the end of experiment, the complete haemato-biochemical constituents were determined. Data of humoral immunity with live body weight and haemato- biochemical values were analysed based on factorial arrangement (treatments×weeks) of completely randomized design (CRD), respectively. Response of the humoral immunity shown that although serum-antibody of ND, IgM, and IgG levels were not improved, the mucosal IgA contents were increased with the increasing phytase doses. The live body weights of broilers were significantly increased (P<0.05) to the graded levels of phytase supplementation throughout the experimental period. Cumulative effects of mucosal IgA contents and live body weights of broilers showed significant (P<0.05) interaction between the effects of phytase levels and effects of weeks. Overall, phytase dose at 1500 FTU/kg-1 of diet over the age of 6 weeks-old showed the best performance. Conversely, no significant, sequential, and consistent treatment effects were observed on hemato-biochemical constituents in broiler chickens. It is therefore, concluded that the efficacy of this local phytase was flourished in respective to mucosal IgA contents and live body weights of broilers.
Nutritional Value and Quality Profile of Fresh Rabbit Meat in Assiut City, Egypt

Nutritional value and safety have gained great importance among the factors that determine meat quality. In the present study thirty rabbits were randomly bought from retail rabbit slaughterhouses in Assiut city, Egypt. They were slaughtered and divided into two halves and each half was further subdivided into fore and hind quarter for chemical and microbiological assessments. The samples were assessed chemically for the proximate composition (moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate and gross energy content), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA), total cholesterol (Chol), triglycerides (Trigl), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoptotein (LDL) cholesterol. For microbiological assessment the total aerobes, Enterobacteriaceae, E.coli, Staphylocooccus aureus, mold and yeast counts (cfu/ml) as well as incidence of Salmonella spp were assessed in the rinse of the fore and hind quarters. The mean values of moisture, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrate were 75.2±0.48 and 76.13±0.26; 19.81±0.22 and 20.59±0.18; 3.54±2.39 and 1.78±0.19; 1.12±0.03 and 1.17±0.03; and 0.33±0.03 and 0.33±0.03 for fore and hind quarter samples, respectively. The protein and fat means were significantly different (P 0.05). The gross energy (Kcal/100g) mean values were 112.42±4.04 and 99.67±1.82, respectively, and the TBA (mg malonaldehyde/kg flesh) values were 0.3±0.03 and 0.19±0.02, respectively, with a significant difference (P 0.05) was observed for Chol, HDL, and LDL means value. The LDL % was higher in fore (49.11±3.58) than in hind (46.33±3.37) quarter samples. The mean value of total aerobes, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus, and mold and yeast counts for positive samples were 2.7±0.82 x106 and 4.2±1.57 x106; 3.56±2.10 x105 and 9.53±4.97 x105; 3.63±2.48 x105 and 1.59±1.53 x105; 1.29±1.25 x105 and 1.25±0.84 x105; and 3.2±0.98 x106 and 4.6±1.95 x106 cfu/ml, respectively. No significant difference for the previous counts between fore and hind quarters was found. E.coli couldn’t be detected in any of the fore quarter samples, but it in only one hind quarter sample with a count of 5x102 cfu/ml. Salmonella spp were detected in percentage of 23.3 and 20% in fore and hind quarter samples, respectively. It could be concluded that nutritional properties of fresh rabbit meat is healthier over other meats (high in protein and low in fat). Hind quarters meat was found to be superior to fore quarters from the nutritional and public health points of views (higher in protein, lower in fat, Chol, LDL%, and TBA as well in incidence of salmonellae).
Abundant and Rare Bacterioplankton in Freshwater Lakes Subjected to Different Levels of Tourism Disturbances

Anthropogenic disturbances have a negative impact on lake ecosystems, such as water environmental degradation. Bacterioplankton communities are essential components in lakes and consist of a few abundant species and several rare taxa. However, little is known about the community diversity and composition of abundant and rare bacterioplankton subjected to different levels of anthropogenic disturbances. In this study, water samples were collected from twelve freshwater lakes located around the city of Nanjing, China. Both Illumina MiSeq sequencing and multivariate statistical analysis were employed to determine the bacterioplankton community composition and its relation to environmental variables. The results indicated that tourism disturbances (mostly sewage discharge and tourist activities) altered the community structure of both abundant and rare bacterioplankton by changing water physicochemical characteristics. Alpha diversity of both abundant and rare taxa did not differ among different anthropogenic disturbance lakes (p > 0.05). Rare bacterial taxa possessed higher alpha diversity than abundant taxa, though rare taxa occupied a tiny portion of abundance (4.5%). Redundancy analysis demonstrated that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was the most significant correlation variable for constraining the variation of abundant taxa, whereas total phosphorus (TP), ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) were the most dominant environmental factors constraining the rare taxa, indicating abundant and rare taxa may have different ecological niches.
Forage Use by Cattle and Sheep Grazing Separately and Together on Summer Range in Southwestern Utah

Grazing trials were conducted on high elevation summer range in southwestern Utah, with cattle and sheep stocked separately and together in . 4-ha paddocks. Vegetation measurements were taken before and after grazing treatments to quantify vegetation utilization as measured by several sampling techniques. Sheep removed less grass and more forbs and shrubs than cattle. Cattle showed a strong reluctance to browse mountain snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus Gray) even when herbaceous forage was greatly reduced. In the common use grazing treatments, all 3 forage categories were well utilized. Cattle and sheep grazing together used more forage, especially mountain snowberry, than calculated from single use averages. Summer rangelands in southwestern Utah are an integral part of the local livestock production system and have been grazed almost exclusively by domestic sheep for decades. The extensive and heavy sheep grazing induced a general shift in the herbaceous vegetation from what was probably a tall forb-grass community to a grass dominated community. Despite these vegetation modifications, sheep continue to be the major livestock species on Cedar
Privatization Impact on Financial and Operational Performance of State-Owned Companies Privatized in Tehran Stock Exchange

In the study, it has been investigated the influence of privatization on financial and operational performance of state-owned companies privatized in 1379-1390. The study is radically aiming at probing the privatization plan success to improve the performance of privatized corporate. In the study, the performance of corporate privatized in stock public offering were investigated using the criteria such as accounting profit quality, profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, investment in capital assets, and employment. Accounting private quality was applied to probe the effect of privatization on corporate financial performance for the first time in Iran. To calculate the accounting profit quality, Dichow & Dichev model presented in 2002 was applied. After data normalization test and with regard to the test results, parametric and non-parametric paired comparison test was used to test the hypothesis. Accounting profit quality indicated the significant decrement at financial and operational performance alongside one of the operational indices as the ratio of sale to human forces. However, the other operational efficiency indices—net income—represented the human forces a significant decrement in operational performance. The difference consequently can be due to the fact that the result may be demonstrated contrariwise, since the net income more fall victim to the management than the sale. The total study results suggest that state-owned corporate privatization has caused the corporate financial and operational performance to be debilitated in Iran.
Beyond entrepreneurship education: business incubation and entrepreneurial capabilities

Purpose As a way of dealing with Nigeria’s macroeconomic challenge of unemployment and its concomitant socio-economic problems, the federal government, in 2006, made entrepreneurship study a compulsory course for all higher education students irrespective of their area of specialization. However, studies have shown that the programme is yet to achieve its goals as many Nigerian graduates still remain unemployed long after graduation. Using Sen’s capability approach, this paper aims to investigate business incubation as an effective tool for enhancing entrepreneurial capabilities beyond entrepreneurship education. Design/methodology/approach This study has engaged both quantitative (survey questionnaire) and qualitative methodologies (semi-structured interview). Findings The result shows that through business incubation, budding entrepreneurs have increased access to infrastructures and resources necessary for entrepreneurial success, thereby enhancing their real opportunities (capabilities) for success. Practical implications For greater effectiveness, business incubation should be integrated into the current entrepreneurship education programme in Nigeria. Originality/value This study is a debut of research endeavours which theoretically assess entrepreneurship programmes via the capability approach lens. It has developed a conceptual model for assessing business incubation using the capability approach.
Seed Quality of Stored Soybean ( Glycine max L.) as Influenced by Storage Containers and Storage Periods

An experiment was conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during April 2013 to June 2013 to study the effect of three storage containers (tin container, polythene bag and cloth bag); and five storage periods (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days) on the seed quality of soybean. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. The soybean seeds stored in tin container showed maximum germination capacity with high germination index, highest seedling growth, seedling dry weight per plant and vigour index. The seeds stored in cloth bag had the lowest seed quality during the testing period. The highest 1000-seed weight, moisture content, electrical conductivity, abnormal seedlings and number of dead seeds were recorded in cloth bag; where the equivalent lowest values were recorded in tin container. The moisture content, 1000-seed weight, electrical conductivity, number of abnormal seedlings and dead seeds were increased with the longer period of storage. In addition, germination index, seedling growth, dry weight per plant of soybean seedling, and vigor index decreased with the increase in storage period. Among the three containers, tin container was the best and the cloth bag was the worst storage container for soybean seed storage for long period.
Spatio-temporal Distributions and Associations of Cabbage Stem Weevil ( Ceutorhynchus Pallidactylus Marsham, 1802) and Pollen Beetle ( Brassicogethes Aeneus Fabricius, 1775) in winter oilseed rape

HLAVJENKA VOJTĚCH, SEIDENGLANZ MAREK, ŠAFÁŘ JAROSLAV. 2017. Spatio-temporal Distributions and Associations of Cabbage Stem Weevil (Ceutorhynchus Pallidactylus Marsham, 1802) and Pollen Beetle (Brassicogethes Aeneus Fabricius, 1775) in winter oilseed rape. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 65(3): 839–847. From 2013 to 2015 the within-field spatio-temporal distributions and interactions between Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus and Brassicogethes aeneus in winter oilseed rape crops were assessed using SADIE analysis (Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs) and Quick association analysis. A significant tendency for aggregation was recorded in C. pallidactylus males in the crop in both 2013 and 2015. Females showed a high tendency towards aggregation only in 2013. Both sexes were significantly associated in crops in 2013 and 2015. B. aeneus adults showed a high tendency towards aggregation in all three years. From the three seasons the cumulative distributions (based on the sums of insect catches in traps for the individual dates) of males and females of C. pallidactylus were significantly associated with the cumulative distribution of B. aeneus adults only in 2013. Contrary to this, an almost significant dissociation between cumulative distributions of C. pallidactylus males and B. aeneus adults was recorded in 2014.
SOME SPECULATIONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROMANCE PERIPHRASTIC PERFECT

The goal of this paper is to look again at the very well-known development of the periphrastic perfect in the Modem Romance languages in the light of recent approaches to the passive based on Collins (2005) (see also Cyrino (2009), who develops very similar ideas from the same starting point). Alongside the diachronic analysis, the paper aims to provide a general and somewhat novel picture of the nature of both auxiliaries and participles, something which, despite the great familiarity of periphrastic tenses of this form in many European languages, has not really emerged clearly before. Another construction which has been somewhat neglected, and which we briefly analyse, is the English have-causative construction. Further, we compare and contrast this Romance development with the development of split-ergativity from a Sanskrit passive in some Indo-Iranian languages.
Using additional single nucleotide polymorphisms selected from whole genome sequence data for genomic prediction in Danish Jersey

Summary The objective of this study was to investigate effects of additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from whole genome sequence (WGS) data on reliabilities of genomic prediction in Danish Jersey. Additional SNPs selected from WGS data mainly included quantitative trait loci (QTL) SNPs, structure variants, SNPs in regulatory regions of genes and SNPs with specific function annotations. Firstly, animals genotyped with 54K chip and different versions of LD chip were imputed to 54K and additional WGS SNPs by a 2-step approach using FImpute. Secondly, genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) considering all SNPs as one variance component, or considering 54K and WGS SNPs as two separate variance components was applied to predict breeding values for milk production, female fertility and mastitis traits. The validation population was 281 DK bulls born in and after 2005, while reference populations were either 1,029 DK bulls born before 2005 (DK) or a combination of 1,029 DK bulls and 1,153 US bulls (DK-US). The results showed that using additional SNPs selected from WGS data improved reliabilities of predicted breeding values for milk production and female fertility traits, but not for mastitis. Improvements of reliabilities from different sets of additional WGS SNPs were different, and the inclusion of all additional WGS SNPs generally achieved highest reliabilities. Besides, a joint DK-US reference led to higher reliabilities compared with a DK reference for all traits. Furthermore, using additional WGS SNPs further improved reliabilities of a joint DK-US reference. Generally, a two-component model considering 54K and additional WGS SNPs as two separate variance components further improved reliabilities for milk production traits.
Microbiological quality assessment of three selected spices in Bangladesh.

Spices are used all over the world for culinary purposes. Bangladeshis have strongest preferences for this. Warm and humid condition is favorable for their growth. For this reason spices are easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms. 15 packed and 27 unpacked spice sample of three kinds- red pepper, turmeric and coriander were collected from different markets and bazars in Bangladesh. Standard microbiological analysis was carried out for the detection and enumeration of microorganism using standard media. Mean standard plate count values for the 3 unpacked products ranged from 8.53 × 10 4 to 4.53 × 10 5 cfu/g and for 3 packed products ranged from 5.26 ×10 2 to 2.06 ×10 3 cfu/g. The mean Coliforms counts ranged from 3.65 × 10 1 to 7.20 × 10 1 MPN/g and mean yeast and mould count ranged from 3.37 × 10 3 to 1.90 × 10 5 cfu/g for unpacked samples. Mean Escherichia coli counts ranged from 0.76 to 1.28 × 10 1 MPN/g in unpacked spice samples. The mean count of Staphylococcus aureus in unpacked coriander sample was 3 cfu/g. Results are compared with International Microbiological Standard and found that some microbiological parameters of unpacked sample were above the recommended limits. Therefore, it is suggested to maintain good sanitary practice and hygienic quality during production stages of spices in our country.
Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Styles in China

This study explored the emotional intelligence level and leadership styles of Chinese managers and their employees, in comparison to Western contexts. The study participants were employees and managers in two organisations in Shanghai, China. Consistent with previous studies in the West, the results of this study in China show that the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership style are positively correlated. The results also show that among the four dimensions or components of emotional intelligence, the employees obtained the highest score in self-awareness and the lowest in social awareness, while managers also obtained the highest score in self-awareness, but the lowest in self-management. On leadership style, managers obtained their highest score on transformational leadership style, followed by transactional leadership style and the lowest score for laissez-faire style. Within the dimensions or components of transformational leadership styles, managers' scored highest at inspirational motivation and lowest at idealised influence (attributed) and individual consideration. Various implications for theory and practice arise from the study, in the context of traditional Chinese values and culture, alongside ongoing changes in terms of China's increasing interaction with Western managerial practices.
Why safety behaviour may not be that bad in the treatment of anxiety disorders: The commitment to future exposures

Traditionally, safety behaviours carried out by anxious patients are held to maintain the disorder and impede in vivo exposure treatment. This view has recently been challenged by Rachman, Radomsky, Shafran and Zysk (2011). Feelings of contamination, fear, danger and disgust decreased substantially over trials and the effects were not impeded by safety behaviour. This finding was critically replicated by Van den Hout, Engelhard, Toffolo and Van Uijen (2011), who obtained the same results. Safety behaviours in those studies may not have had negative effects because participants were committed to engage in exposure trials (to re-contaminate) after safety behaviours. In this paper the role of commitment to future exposure in safety behaviour has been critically tested. Safety behaviour promoted feelings of control over emotions. Safety behaviours may not be categorically harmful and may even have beneficial effects.
Assessing the Relative Health Care Spending Needs of the UK's Devolved Territories: A Scottish Perspective

This paper applies Scotland's health allocation formula to Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in England, Health Boards in Wales, and Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland in order to assess the relative health care expenditure needs of the countries. According to the Scottish formula, England's per capita health care expenditure need is around 10% lower than Scotland's, while Wales' per capita expenditure need is around 2% lower than Scotland's, and Northern Ireland's is around 7% lower than Scotland's. Scotland's relative expenditure need over England is largely a function of higher rates of mortality and long-term illness, rather than its relative sparsity. Northern Ireland's relatively lower need is largely due to it having a relatively young population. We also compare the results of Scotland's allocation formula with the equivalent English formula and find that the two approaches differ in their view of what constitutes an equitable distribution of resources between PCTs.
