G ENOME SIZE AND NUMERICAL POLYMORPHISM FOR THE B CHROMOSOME IN RACES OF MAIZE

Twenty-one native populations (1120 individuals) of maize from Northern Argentina were studied. These populations, which belong to 13 native races, were cultivated at different altitudes (80–3620 m). Nineteen of the populations analyzed showed B chromosome (Bs) numerical polymorphism. The frequency of individuals with Bs varied from 0 to 94%. The number of Bs per plant varied from 0 to 8 Bs, with the predominant doses being 0, 1, 2, and 3. Those populations with varying number of Bs showed a positive and statistically signiﬁcant correlation of mean number of Bs with altitude. The DNA content, in plants without Bs (A-DNA)(2 n (cid:53) 20), of 17 populations of the 21 studied was determined. A 36% variation (5.0–6.8 pg) in A-DNA content was found. A signiﬁcant negative correlation between A-DNA content and altitude of cultivation and between A-DNA content and mean number of Bs was found. This indicates that there is a close interrela-tionship between the DNA content of A chromosomes and doses of Bs. These results suggest that there is a maximum limit to the mass of nuclear DNA so that Bs are tolerated as long as this maximum limit is
Task-free spectral EEG dynamics track and predict patient recovery from severe acquired brain injury

For some patients, coma is followed by a state of unresponsiveness, while other patients develop signs of awareness. In practice, detecting signs of awareness may be hindered by possible impairments in the patient's motoric, sensory, or cognitive abilities, resulting in a substantial proportion of misdiagnosed disorders of consciousness. Task-free paradigms that are independent of the patient's sensorimotor and neurocognitive abilities may offer a solution to this challenge. A limitation of previous research is that the large majority of studies on the pathophysiological processes underlying disorders of consciousness have been conducted using cross-sectional designs. Here, we present a study in which we acquired a total of 74 longitudinal task-free EEG measurements from 16 patients (aged 6–22 years, 12 male) suffering from severe acquired brain injury, and an additional 16 ageand education-matched control participants. We examined changes in amplitude and connectivity metrics of oscillatory brain activity within patients across their recovery. Moreover, we applied multi-class linear discriminant analysis to assess the potential diagnostic and prognostic utility of amplitude and connectivity metrics at the individual-patient level. We found that over the course of their recovery, patients exhibited nonlinear frequency band-specific changes in spectral amplitude and connectivity metrics, changes that aligned well with the metrics' frequency band-specific diagnostic value. Strikingly, connectivity during a single task-free EEG measurement predicted the level of patient recovery approximately 3 months later with 75% accuracy. Our findings show that spectral amplitude and connectivity track patient recovery in a longitudinal fashion, and these metrics are robust pathophysiological markers that can be used for the automated diagnosis and prognosis of disorders of consciousness. These metrics can be acquired inexpensively at bedside, and are fully independent of the patient's neurocognitive abilities. Lastly, our findings tentatively suggest that the relative preservation of thalamo-cortico-thalamic interactions may predict the later reemergence of awareness, and could thus shed new light on the pathophysiological processes that underlie disorders of consciousness.
MECHANISM OF DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN PLANT AND ITS MANAGEMENT THROUGH DIFFERENT METHODS

Control of drought stress in plant is not only very complex, but is also highly influenced by other environmental factors and by the developmental stage of the plant. Here we review certain physiological responses of plants to a deficit of water include leaf wilting, a reduction in leaf area, leaf abscission, and thereby reducing water loss through transpiration, and increasing the rate of photosynthesis in relation to drought. Critical global scenarios related to water availability for human consumption and crop production anticipated to arise in the near future, and intensive research is currently being conducted on basic and applied issues, from molecular to ecological approaches. Considering that up to 70-80% of the fresh water is utilized for irrigation of field crops, development of plants with less water requirements can contribute much to alleviate the problem of excessive water consumption in agriculture. These responses improve the water-use efficiency of the plant on the short term and we can also improve the resistance in plant against certain stress by genetic manipulation for increased drought tolerance in plants, developing drought tolerant plants by traditional breeding and transgenic approaches.
ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS

The objective of this study was to assess the mediating role of employee engagement in the relationship between organizational justice and employee turnover intention. To achieve the objective of the study established questionnaires were adapted from the previous research works. Cross-sectional survey design was employed to quantitatively assess the relationship between the study variables. Based on the data collected from 349 employees of CBE the overall result of the study indicates that distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice have negative relationship with employee turnover intention. On the other hand the three dimensions of organizational justice have positive relationship with employee engagement, which in turn is found to have negative relationship with employee turnover intention. The study results also confirmed that employee engagement had no mediating role on the relationship between organizational justice and employee turnover intention. The overall implication of the study result is that, since the three dimensions of organizational justice has positive and negative relationship with employee engagement and employee turnover intention respectively, to keep the benefit of having engaged employee and retaining talented and skilled employee the importance of employing organizational justice in the workplace is crucial.
The Determinans Of Earnings Response Coefficient: An Empirical Study For The Real Estate And Property Companies Listed On The Indonesia Stock Exchange

This study aimed to examine the influence of the earnings persistence, growth, systematic risk, capital structure, and company’s size on the earnings response coefficient. The population of this research are the real estate and property companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2011-2014. Samples were selected by using the purposive sampling method and obtained as much as 52, 52, 51 and 50 companies respectively. The ordinary least square regression was used in this research to analyze the data. The result shows that the earnings persistence and capital structure have positive and significant effect on the earnings response coefficient, the company’s growth has negative and significant on earnings response coefficient, while systematic risk, and firm size have no effect on earnings response coefficient. This condition indicates that the profit obtained by the company increases continuously, so that investors will more react to the earnings information and investors prefer to pay attention to the profit figure rather than paying attention to the opportunity to grow a company.
E¡ect of alginate and inulin on intestinal microbial ecology of weanling pigs reared under di¡erent husbandry conditions

The effects of inulin and alginate on intestinal microbial ecophysiology were investigated in piglets fed a diet (C) with 0.1% alginate (C 1 A) or 1.5% inulin (C 1 I) from weaning at day 28. The experiment was performed at an experimental farm (EF) and a commercial farm (CF). Digesta was collected from the ileum, caecum and colon of four piglets from each group on days 29, 30, 33 and 39. The metabolite concentrations changed with age. Colonic and caecal metabolites were affected by prebiotic treatment. Changes in microbiota composition were assessed by cultivation and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rRNA gene fragments. Enterococci increased in C 1 A at EF and decreased in C 1 I at both farms. Lactobacilli decreased in all segments in the experimental groups on days 30 and 33. Yeasts in C 1 I were ﬁve times lower at CF than at EF on day 39. The richness and diversity of DGGE proﬁles increased in the experimental groups. The evenness of colon digesta-derived DGGE proﬁles was higher in the experimental groups than in C and this situation was reversed in the distal small intestine. Multivariate redundancy analysis conﬁrmed the recorded effects. In summary, both prebiotics affected the intestinal microbiota, and the changes were more pronounced at the CF. in faecal diversity in piglets fed fructooligosaccharides control maize using molecular technique of DGGE.

Testing the unitary theory of language lateralisation using functional transcranial Doppler in adults

11 Hemispheric dominance for language can vary from task to task, but it is unclear if this reflects 12 error of measurement or independent lateralisation of different language systems. We used 13 functional transcranial Doppler sonography to assess language lateralisation within the middle 14 cerebral artery territory in 37 adults (7 left-handers) on six tasks, each given on two occasions. 15 Tasks taxed different aspects of language function. A preregistered structural equation analysis 16 was used to compare models of means and covariances. For most people, a single lateralised 17 factor explained most of the covariance between tasks. A minority, however, showed dissociation 18 of asymmetry, giving a second factor. This was mostly derived from a receptive task, which was 19 highly reliable but not lateralised. The results suggest that variation in strength of language 20 lateralisation reflects true individual differences and not just error of measurement. Inclusion of 21 several tasks in a laterality battery makes it easier to detect cases of atypical asymmetry.
Status of canine cardiac disorders in Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh

Study was aimed to know the status of cardiac disorders in canines in Mahakaushal region of Madhya Pradesh from November, 2019 to June, 2020. A total of 5110 dogs presented at Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science & A.H. , Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, were screened. Among them 137 dogs had clinical signs were subjected to thorough investigations (i.e. auscultation, ECG, thoracic radiography, echocardiography, haemoglobin and serum electrolyte estimation) for the confirmation of cardiac disorders. Overall occurrence was 1.23% in dog population. Out of 137 suspected dogs, 63 dogs (45.99%) were found to be affected with various types of cardiac disorders. Age wise maximum occurrence was recorded in dogs of more than 09 years of age group i.e. 53.85%. Highest (67.65%) occurrence was reported in Labrador breed. Cardiac auscultation and electrocardiography are useful diagnostic modalities for the assessment of early cardiac changes.
STUDY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ERROR CORRECTING CODE IN A MULTIPATH COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH INTERSYMBOL INTERFERENCE

The growth of modern wireless communications has increased the demand for high quality and reliable data services. The purpose of this article stands for a review of the principles and techniques of error correcting codes (ECC) and a study of their practical application to combat intersymbol interference (ISI) in multipath channels. A DVB-T system with MIMO technology developed in the Matlab/Simulink environment is introduced and analyzed. The bit error rate (BER) of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and an ISI-influenced multipath Rayleigh attenuation channel is measured and discussed. The method based on a DVB-T receiver-transmitter with MIMO technology provides a higher quality and speed of data transmission in comparison to a DVB-S2 system with MIMO. Other ways to improve the quality of data transmission are offered, including size and type converters, amplifiers, and gain normalization. Images are transmitted through the system that includes a Rayleigh channel and an AWGN with different signal-to-noise ratio values (SNR, dB) and different gain values. The BER graph is obtained; the results are discussed and compared with similar works. The system can be used for transmission of radiological images (such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) of high quality and high resolution to remote healthcare workers using a wireless network.
Measurements of branching fractions, rate asymmetries, and angular distributions in the rare decays B -&gt; and B

We present measurements of the ﬂavor-changing neutral current decays B ! K‘ (cid:1) ‘ (cid:2) and B ! K (cid:3) ‘ (cid:1) ‘ (cid:2) , where ‘ (cid:1) ‘ (cid:2) is either an e (cid:1) e (cid:2) or (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:2) pair. The data sample comprises 229 (cid:4) 10 6 (cid:1) (cid:5) 4 S (cid:6) ! B (cid:2) B decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e (cid:1) e (cid:2) storage ring. Flavor-changing neutral current decays are highly suppressed in the standard model and their predicted properties could be signiﬁcantly modiﬁed by new physics at the electroweak scale. We measure the branching fractions B (cid:5) B ! K‘ ‘ (cid:7) (cid:5) 34 (cid:8) 07 02 (cid:4) 10 6 , B B ! 11 10 (cid:2) 6 , the direct CP asymmetries of these decays, and the relative abundances of decays to electrons and muons. For two regions in ‘ (cid:1) ‘ (cid:2) mass, above and below m J= , we measure partial branching fractions and the forward-backward angular asymmetry of the lepton pair. In these same regions we also measure the K (cid:3) longitudinal polarization in B ! K (cid:3) ‘ (cid:1) ‘ (cid:2) decays. Upper limits are obtained for the lepton-ﬂavor-violating decays B ! Ke(cid:1) and B ! K (cid:3) e(cid:1) . All measurements are consistent with standard model expectations.
Developing Mouse Complement Receptor in Tissues of the Expression and Function of the Type 3

Macrophage (M f ) expression of the leukocyte integrins has been implicated in their adhesion and migration in the adult. Little is known, however, of the expression or function of these molecules during development. This study deﬁnes the spatial and temporal sequences of expression of the type 3 complement receptor (CR3) in the developing mouse; establishes the functional efﬁcacy of this molecule in spreading, adhesion, and phagocytosis; and investigates its role in inﬂammatory and constitutive migration. Expression of CR3 on monocytes occurred early compared to M f -restricted glycoprotein F4/80, but expression on stellate tissue M f appeared later than F4/80 and was transient. Expression of CR3 on resident tissue M f is more widespread during development, being retained on only very speciﬁc M f populations in the adult. Neutrophil polymorphs expressed CR3 from day 17 of gestation onward. The anti-CR3 mAb 5C6 was used to investigate the role of CR3 in adhesion, spreading, and phagocytosis by neonatal M f . Neonatal macrophages were found to adhere, spread, and phagocytose by CR3-dependent mechanisms, and a CR3-independent system was implicated in the spreading of neonatal M f . The role of CR3 in migration during development was then investigated. 5C6 had potent effects on the early stages of the migration of myelomonocytic cells to an inﬂammatory stimulus in vivo. Despite efﬁcient transplacental transfer of the Ab from pregnant mother to fetus, the process by which monocytes generate populations of resident tissue M f was undisrupted, indicating the existence of CR3-independent mechanisms of monocyte migration during development.

IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL RADIO PROGRAMMES ON LIVELIHOODS OF FARMERS: THE CASE OF ROYAL FM IN BRONG-AHAFO REGION, GHANA

The study examined the impact of Radio agricultural programmes on livelihoods of farmers in five districts and municipalities in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. Questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 198 farmers. The study showed that farmers had gained knowledge in various improved practices as a result of the Royal FM agricultural programme. Increase in knowledge has resulted in increased agricultural output and productivity leading to higher sustainable incomes. Majority of the farmers indicated that they were satisfied with the programme as it had improved the use of agricultural technologies in the area. It was also found out that the programme had impacted positively on the livelihoods of the farmers in the study areas. The impact of Royal FM agricultural programme was very high in Banda District and Wenchi Municipal. The study recommended the need for government to support agricultural radio programme to ensure its sustainability.
p ∞ -SELMER GROUPS AND RATIONAL POINTS ON ELLIPTIC CURVES WITH

Let E/ Q be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic ﬁeld in which p splits. In this note we prove that if Sel p ∞ ( E/ Q ) has Z p -corank one, then E ( Q ) has a point of inﬁnite order. The non-torsion point arises from a Heegner point construction, and as a result we obtain a converse to a theorem of Gross–Zagier, Kolyvagin, and Rubin in the spirit of Skinner [Ski20]. For p > 3, this gives a new proof of a theorem by Burungale–Tian [BT20], which our method extends to small primes.
PROCESS MINING IN GOVERNANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, COMPLIANCE (GRC), AND AUDITING: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Numerous studies increasingly investigate the application of process mining in governance, risk management, compliance, and auditing in response to changing business processes brought about by digital transformation. Audit on business processes is an interesting issue in the process mining literature. This study seeks to specifically map the types, areas, objectives, and frameworks of process mining application in governance, risk management, compliance, and auditing. The mapping process results in the classifications of components and sub-components. We use the systematic literature review (SLR) on the application of process mining in governance, risk management, compliance, and auditing. The SLR approach makes use of 34 papers selected based on the exclusive and inclusive terms and the mapping process related to the research questions. The data extraction results show that the financial domain dominates the research topics. Besides, we identify 6 phases as components and 32 concrete steps or activities sub-components. The SLR findings contributes to future research on the application of process mining to governance, risk management, compliance, and auditing in various research areas.
Creating an Error Corpus: Annotation and Applicability

In this paper, we describe the Icelandic Error Corpus, a manually annotated error corpus for Icelandic. The Icelandic Error Corpus consists of texts from three sources: student essays, online news and Wikipedia articles, with a total of 56,794 annotated error instances. The corpus is used to analyze errors made by Icelandic native speakers, which are in turn used to guide the development of an Icelandic open-source spellchecker
Inﬂ uence of External Examination on The Teaching and Learning of Mathematics at the Secondary Level Education in Pakistan

This study explores the inﬂ uence of external examination on teaching and learning Mathematics at the secondary schools afﬁ liated with provincial and private examination boards in Pakistan. This study was conducted in two phases by employing the explanatory sequential mixed-method. First, the Mathematics examination papers of the last ﬁ ve years from both provincial and private examination boards were reviewed and analyzed to understand (1) the cognitive complexities required to solve the questions, (2) the frequency and variety in which the questions were repeated, and (3) the chapters of prescribed books whereby the questions were selected in the examination of last ﬁ ve years. In the second phase, semi-structured interviews, with teachers and students were conducted, along with participatory observation to understand how the examination patterns shape their teaching and learning. The ﬁ ndings revealed that the external examination directly inﬂ uences teachers’ teaching, and indirectly students’ learning. Both the positive and negative effects of the external examination were found on the teaching-learning strategies of teachers and students respectively. The study also contributes toward ﬁ lling the gap in the existing literature on assessment practices. Furthermore, it aims to encourage external examination bodies and policy-makers to reﬂ ect upon their current policies as wellprovideides suggestions to school teachers and management.
Identification and validation of MicroRNA-mRNA Networks in Dorsal Root Ganglia after Peripheral Nerve Injury

Changes in DRG after nerve injury involve neuronal damage, apoptosis, pain transmission, and activation of regenerative programs. It is unclear which genes and microRNAs may play a major role in this process. Therefore, this study performed a meta-analysis of previously published gene expression data to reveal the potential microRNA-mRNA network in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after peripheral nerve injury. We searched 5 mRNA and 3 microRNA expression data sets, obtained 447 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 5 differentially expressed miRNAs, determined the biological pathways enriched by these DEGs, and further predicted new microRNA-mRNA interactions, such as miR-21/Hmg20a, miR-221/Ube2ql1, miR-30c-1/Rhoq, miR-500/Sema3c, and miR-551b/Cdc42se2. We verified these hub mRNA and miRNA in rats by qRT-PCR and found the results were consistent with the bioinformatics analysis. And we predicted transcription factors associated with these genes (gTFs) and TFs associated with these microRNAs (mTFs) and constructed the mTF-miRNA-gene-gTF regulatory network to further explore the molecular mechanism in DRG. Finally, we compared the DRG transcriptome after PNI to that of chronic constriction injury (CCI), and found that PNI caused greater damage to DRG compared to CCI. At the same time, the related mechanisms of pain caused by the two pathophysiological process may be different.
