Fine tegumental structures of the bothriocephalidean cestode, Oncodiscus sauridae, an intestinal parasite of the lizardfish Saurida undosquamis in Suez Gulf, Egypt.

The brushtooth lizardfish was invading the Mediterranean Sea from the West Pacific through Suez Canal (Ben-Tuvia, 1966). The large scale saury is considered as one of the most prosperous colonizers distributed until the Aegean Sea (Bilecenoğlu et al., 2002; Mahmoud et al., 2014). They are predatory benthic fishes feeding on smaller fishes and invertebrates (Streftaris et al., 2005). Lizardfishes are sold extensively in fish markets at Egypt owing to their preferable taste for millions of poor peoples. Few parasitological studies have been executed on this economically important fish at Egypt. The incidence of infection with the trematode Paraplerurus sauridae inside S. undosquamis occurred during February in India (Sathyanarayana, 1981). Eleven different larval species were isolated from lizardfishes at Kuwait (Petter and Sey, 1997). Heavy infections by the microsporidian cysts of Glugea sp. were discovered within the body cavity and viscera of lizardfishes collected from Arabian Gulf (Adbel-Baki et al., ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: March 15, 2020 Accepted: April 11, 2020 Online: April 14, 2020 _______________
Produtividade de tomate tipo cereja cultivado em ambiente protegido e em diferentes substratos

The experiment was carry out in Jaboticabal-SP, under a protected environment, aiming to evaluate four substrates of root development (substrates Rendimax®, sand, soil with mulch of black polyethylene film and soil without mulch) and four hybrids of cherry tomato ('Mascot', 'Gisela', 'Cheri' and 'Sweet Million'). The experimental design was a randomized complete blocks, in a factorial array (4 x 4), with four replications. The irrigation/fertigation was done with a trickle system, being the hydric dotation established based upon the measurements of the class A pan. The nutritious solution was recommended by Castellane & Araujo (1995) for tomato cropping. The fruits were harvested from 24/11 to 24/01, the number and daily productivity of fruits being appraised. The cultivations in soil provided higher production than in the commercial and sand substrates. The hybrid 'Gisela' was shown to be more productive in the cultivations in soil, while the hybrid 'Cheri', although it provided smaller productions in weight, produced larger number of fruits for plant. The productivity, of the most productive treatments was satisfactory, being in agreement with the production for the culture in Brazil.
Clonal Selection for Lignin and Etherified Ferulates in Three Perennial Grasses

Decreased lignin concentration or decreased ferulate cross-linking between arabinoxylans and lignin are two mechanisms to increase cellwall digestibility in plants. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine the consistency and clonal repeatability of lignin and etherifi ed ferulates across multiple harvest dates and years, (ii) to determine if the genetic correlation between lignin and etherifi ed ferulates can be altered by intensive selection, and (iii) to determine the effects of lignin and ferulates on digestibility of neutral detergent fi ber (NDF). Thirty clones each of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) were evaluated in a replicated fi eld study at four growth stages in 2004 and 2005 for NDF, lignin, esterifi ed and etherifi ed ferulates, and 24- and 96-h in vitro NDF digestibility (IVNDFD). Clonal means were generally repeatable across years and harvest dates. Divergent selection created clonal groups with differential lignin and etheri fi ed ferulates, but the positive correlation between these two traits was reduced only in smooth bromegrass. Both lignin and etherifi ed ferulates were negatively correlated with 96-h IVNDFD and these relationships were maintained as all three grasses matured. Concentration of NDF was highly correlated with etherifi ed ferulates, making it diffi cult to partition the impact of components of lignifi cation on IVNDFD.
Diel activity patterns of lake chubs and other fishes in a temperate stream

Baited and unbaited minnow traps were set in Catamaran Brook and the Little Southwest Miramichi River, New Brunswick, and checked every 4 h to determine the diel activity pattern of four species of stream-dwelling fish (threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), juvenile white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus), and lake chub (Couesius plumbeus)). Secondary goals were to determine whether the presence of bait inside minnow traps affected the diel patterns of captures and to compare patterns of lake chub captures in minnow traps with movement through a nearby fish-counting fence. All fish except lake chubs were diurnal, although strict diurnality was less obvious when bait was present in the traps. Lake chubs, which are normally diurnal in the laboratory, were captured mostly near dawn or dusk in unbaited traps, throughout the day in baited traps, and mostly at night at the fish-counting fence. We infer that chubs are active mostly at dawn or dusk, except (i) when .
Influência do espaçamento na produtividade da amora-preta, cv. Ébano, em Jundiaí

The blackberry, cv. Ebano, yield was evaluated during the growing seasons of 1992/93 and 1993/94, considering two plant densities: 3 x 1 m and 3 x 0.5 m. Although the yield varied between 1,786 and 2,900 kg.ha-1 there was no statistical difference concerning plant density. The yield of blackberry, at Jundiai, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, was concentrated during the period from the last fifteen-day of January through the first fifteen-day of February.
Production of Plant Made Pharmaceuticals: From Plant Host to Functional Protein

In the last two decades plants have emerged as valuable alternatives to mammalian cells for the production of pharmaceuticals and their potential as expression systems was shown by the commercial availability and acceptance of several plant made therapeuticals in clinical trials. Plants have many advantages over yeast, insect and bacterial expression systems such as the potential to properly fold the expressed proteins and the synthesis of more human-like N-glycans on the proteins. However, several constraints, such as expression yields, downstream processing and structural authenticity, currently limit the widespread use of plant expression systems. In this review, the focus is on the current limitations of plant systems for the production of pharmaceuticals and the possibilities to overcome these obstacles. A comparison is made with insect cell and yeast expression systems. Furthermore, the importance of glycosylation, in particular N-glycosylation for the biological function(s) of therapeutics in the human body will be discussed in detail and an overview of the state of art in the humanization of the N-glycosylation pathway in plants is provided.
Rsk2 allosterically activates estrogen receptor α by docking to the hormone‐binding domain

We describe a novel mechanism for transcriptional regulation, in which docking of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (Rsk2) to the hormone‐binding domain (HBD) of estrogen receptor α (ERα) induces a conformational change that enhances the transcriptional activation function contained in the HBD. A constitutively active mutant of Rsk2 specifically enhances ERα‐mediated transcription by phosphorylation of Ser167 in ERα and by physically associating with residues 326–394 of the ERα HBD. The anti‐estrogen 4‐hydroxytamoxifen blocks Rsk2‐mediated activation of ERα, by inducing a conformation of ERα in which the Rsk2 docking site is masked. Transcriptional activation and docking are specific for ERα and do not occur with the related isoform, ERβ. ERα phosphorylation, docking and transcriptional activation are regulated by the Rsk2 N‐terminal kinase domain. The allosteric regulation of a target protein, independent of phosphorylation, may be paradigmatic of a general function for protein kinase docking sites.
Spatial organization of a lynx population

I examined the home-range relationships and spatial organization of an untrapped lynx (Lym canadensis) population in the southern Northwest Territories, Canada. I determined annual home ranges and static and dynamic interactions among 30 radio-collared adult lynx from April 1989 to April 1993. Densities of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus), the main prey, declined during winter 1990 - 199 1. There was extensive range overlap between sexes, and between certain pairs of female lynx. Ranges among most males and among other individual or pairs of females were more exclusive. Most intrasexual dynamic interactions indicated neither attraction nor avoidance, suggesting that home-range boundaries were maintained by passive means. Two male-female pairs showed some positive attraction during the early part of the first winter of low hare density. Home ranges of three male and three female lynx monitored for 3 consecutive years were stable. Spatial organization broke down during winter 1991 - 1992, when all resident lynx died or dispersed; this was concomitant with the first full winter of low hare density. Spatial organization observed prior to low hare densities may be described as a land-tenure system, based on prior residency, and may have served to regulate the density of this untrapped population during peak prey levels.

Lifetime Victimization: Identifying Frequency and Emotional (Dis)Adjustment Among Portuguese and Immigrant Women

ABSTRACT The authors sought to identify the lifetime trajectories of multiple victimized women, the emotional adjustment and resilience. They used a convenience sample of 120 women (35 Portuguese natives and 85 immigrants). The results documented the high frequency of different types of victimization (e.g., psychological, physical, discrimination, stalking) experienced by native and immigrant women, especially in adulthood, with few significant differences between the two groups. In addition to having been victims in adulthood, native women reported victimization in at least two phases of life, childhood and adolescence, with high rates of revictimization throughout life. The immigrants presented different trajectories of victimization, with 41% reported being a victim for the first time in adulthood in the host country. The interaction of ethnicity, unemployment, and educational level represents greater vulnerability to victimization. Women that had complex and multiple patterns of victimization (being victim of more types of violence during life) presented worse psychological maladjustment. However, the total resilience mediates the relationship between the multiple victimization experience and the symptomatology. The empirical, professional, and political implications of the results are discussed.
PROCESSING INFORMATION IN THE GO/NOGO/GO PARADIGM: 
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

association between cognitive the autonomic nervous system (ANS) using a go/nogo/go modality, error-free (gol) hand inhibition (nogo). of rate variability scattergram (S), periodic (SD2) and aperiodic (SD1) correlation rhythmography (CR). Results. Differentiation of verbal and visual cues presented at a low rate was associated with increased activity of cognitive and neurophysiological mechanisms of ANS regulation, coordinated sympatho- parasympathetic interaction, and enhanced integrative processes. High rate presentations led to divergent changes in cognitive function and ANS: increased HRV and decreased SD1 and SD2, increased number of errors, and decreased motor reaction time and S. Conclusions. Interactions between cognitive function and ANS were related to the rate of presentation and signal modality: increased interactions occurred with low rate presentations, whereas, high rate (visual) presentations impaired performance and also reduced autonomic-cognitive interactions.
Biological aspects of the velvet belly lantern shark, Etmopterus spinax (Linnaeus, 1758) off the Azores, North East Atlantic

Abstract The velvet belly lantern shark (Etmopterus spinax) forms a large component of the by-catch of the longline fishery off the Azores, but is discarded due to the lack of commercial value. The distribution and some biological aspects of Etmopterus spinax were investigated from longline surveys between 1995 and 2005 off the Azores. The highest catch rates were at depths between 500 and 650m (range 250–1200 m). The overall sex ratio was 1:2.26 (M:F), with the predominance of females in all depth strata. The total length range was 17.5–48.0 cm for females and 18.5–45.0 cm for males. This species is sexually dimorphic, with females growing to a larger size than males and attaining greater size at first maturity. During the sampled months all the maturity stages were observed. The immature females predominated but the increase proportion of expecting and post-natal females between April and July could indicate a breeding season. The variations of hepatosomatic index indicate that this species maintains a fine balance between the deposition of lipids by the liver and maturity development to increase the reproductive potential.
Note. Speciation of Arsenic in Licorice Confectionery Products and Estimation of Health Risks

Total-arsenic (T-As) and arsenic (As) species were determined by HPLC-HG-AAS in ten different confectionery products: nine throat pearls and an industrial licorice extract. The Spanish legislation sets a maximum total-As content in confectionery products at 0.1mg/g. T-As concentrations were above the permitted maximum limit (mean of 0.219±0.008mg/g). All As was present in the form of toxic inorganic species. The daily consumption of licorice-confections in Spain is 1.1g and leads to a daily intake of inorganic-As of 0.23mg (0.2% of the tolerable daily intake of inorganic As for a teenager). These experimental results proved that even though high total-As concentrations were found in licorice throat pearls and that all the As found was present as inorganic species, no significant risks for health are expected just by considering this As source.
Description of Poseidonemertes caribensis sp.n., and Discussion of Other Taxa of Hoplonemertini Monostilifera with Divided Longitudinal Musculature in the Body Wall

A monostiliferous hop‐lonemertean, Poseidonemertes caribensissp.n. , is described from the Caribbean Sea, where it commonly occurs on marine plants in shallow water. Anatomical examination revealed a double layered longitudinal musculature in the body wall along the cerebral region, a feature known from only a few taxa of Hoplonemertini Monostilifera, i.e., species in the “Amphiporus hastatus group” and in the genera Correanemertes, Paranemertes, Nemertes, Paramphiporus, and Poseidonemertes. The relationship between the longitudinal muscle layers, proboscis insertion, and head retractors is discussed, based on earlier descriptions and study of type specimens, and the various recognizable patterns are employed to further delineate some of the genera.
Insecticidal Effect and Residual Action of Fenitrothion and Esfenvalerate on Sitophilus oryzae and S. zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Stored Maize and Wheat

Among the pests that attack stored maize and wheat grain, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and S. zeamais Motsch (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are the most destructive. This paper is aimed at the study of the insecticidal effect and the residual action of organophosphate fenitrothion, pyrethroid esfenvalerate, and the mixture of both on S. oryzae and S. zeamais in stored maize and wheat. Grains were treated in order to obtain theoretical concentrations of 10 and/or 0.5 mg·kg−1 fenitrothion and esfenvalerate, respectively. The effectiveness experiments were installed as of 15, and 30 days, and subsequently at monthly intervals as of 12 months after grain treatment, or until mortality ceased in the plots. After mortality evaluation happened all individuals were eliminated, either dead or alive, and grains were kept for 60 days to assess the number of emerged progeny. The comparison of mortality curves of the pest species within each combination of grain type and insecticide showed significant differences. In general, the mortality of S. oryzae decreased faster than that of S. zeamais considering the grain type-insecticide combination. Esfenvalerate was ineffective in all combinations. Higher mortality of both species was observed on wheat grains treated with fenitrothion and fenitrothion
Contractual safeguarding of specific assets in cross-border and domestic buyer–supplier relationships

Safeguarding specific investments and mitigation of potential opportunistic behaviours are among the most prominent functions of formal contracting in buyer–seller relationships. Extending the extant literature, the present study investigates the relationship between specific investments and the extent of formal contracting in cross-border and domestic relationships. Based on a sample of 156 buyer–seller relationships, the analysis shows that there is a positive association between specific investments and the extent of formal contracting. However, the emphasis on formal contracting is stronger in cross-border relationships than in the domestic ones. Interestingly, the association between specific investments and formal contracting becomes even stronger in cross-border relationships.
The potential of emergent disruptive technologies for humanitarian supply chains: the integration of blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and 3D printing

The growing importance of humanitarian operations has created an imperative to overcome the complications currently recorded in the field. Challenges such as delays, congestion, poor communication and lack of accountability may represent opportunities to test the reported advantages of emergent disruptive technologies. Meanwhile, the literature on humanitarian supply chains looks at isolated applications of technology and lacks a framework for understanding challenges and solutions, a gap that this article aims to fill. Using a case study based on the flood of Tabasco of 2007 in Mexico, this research identifies solutions based on the use of emergent disruptive technologies. Furthermore, this article argues that the integration of different technologies is essential to deliver real benefits to the humanitarian supply chain. As a result, it proposes a framework to improve the flow of information, products and financial resources in humanitarian supply chains integrating three emergent disruptive technologies; Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and 3D Printing. The analysis presented shows the potential of the framework to reduce congestion in the supply chain, enhance simultaneous collaboration of different stakeholders, decrease lead times, increase transparency, traceability and accountability of material and financial resources, and allow victims to get involved in the fulfilment of their own needs.
How port aesthetics affect destination image, tourist satisfaction and tourist loyalty?

Purpose This study aims to examine the linkages between port aesthetics, destination image, tourist satisfaction and tourist loyalty in Hong Kong. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this objective, the authors surveyed 247 tourists in Hong Kong. Using factor analysis and structural equation model (SEM) to identify the constructs of port aesthetics and analyze its relationship with destination image, tourist satisfaction and tourist loyalty. Findings Five-port aesthetics constructs were identified, namely, leisure and culture, design and cognition, atmosphere, recreational facilities and memory. The results of SEM revealed the following: port aesthetics positively influenced destination image; destination image positively influenced tourist satisfaction; and tourist satisfaction had a positive influence on tourist loyalty. This research also found that the indirect effect of port aesthetics on tourist loyalty via destination image and tourist satisfaction. Originality/value While the environmental qualities of a port could potentially affect destination image, tourist satisfaction and loyalty, this study developed and validated a measurement instrument of perceived port aesthetics from a tourist’s perspective. Specifically, this research proposed a structural model to explain the relationships between port aesthetics, destination image, tourist satisfaction and loyalty.
Detection and variability of the lethal yellowing group (16Sr IV) phytoplasmas in the Cedusa sp. (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Derbidae) in Jamaica

Lethal yellowing (LY) group phytoplasma was detected in members of the Cedusa species of Derbids from Jamaica by nested PCR assay employing the rRNA primer pairs P1/P7 and LY16Sf/LY16Sr. A 1400-bp product was obtained from 13/43 Derbids that were analysed. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the nested PCR product revealed variations in 6/13 Derbids analysed, suggesting that the planthoppers could be infected with different strains of the LY group phytoplasma. Sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA gene determined that the percentage of similarity of the phytoplasma strains in the Derbids ranged from 97-98% to the phytoplasma strain found in coconuts in Florida (LYFL-C2) and Jamaica (LYJ-C8). The phytoplasma strains in the Derbids clustered together with the Jamaican and Florida coconut LY phytoplasma, as well as other characterised strains composing the LY phytoplasma (16Sr IV) group.
