Combining ability analysis of yield and its components through diallel crosses in indica coiza (Brassica juncea L.) Czern & Coss.

The variance due to general and specific combining ability were estimated for assessing the contribution of the additive and non-additive type of gene action involved in the inheritance of different characters. The parents RC 870, RC 759, RC 751 and RC 792 have shown higher GCA effects for seed yield and other characters. The best five crosses are RC 832 x RC 788, RC 827 x RC 870, RC 827 x RC 751, RC 837 x RC 870 and RC 832 x RC 870. These crosses are likely to give better segregants In future generations.
PENGARUH SHOPPING LIFESTYLE, FASHION INVOLVEMENT DAN POSITIVE EMOTION TERHADAP IMPULSE BUYING BEHAVIOR

The Influence of Shopping Lifestyle, Fashion Involvement and Positive Emotion on Impulse Buying Behavior. In making purchases, consumers prefer modern shopping to traditional shopping places. It is often done unplanned. Currently, type of modern shopping spot that is popular is lifestyle shopping center. Increased lifestyle shopping center in Badung regency from year to year makes business opportunities for business people, especially in fashion field. Shopping lifestyle reflects a person's choice of spending time and money. With the availability of time, consumers will have plenty of time to shop. And with their money, they will have a high purchasing power. Fashion involvement refers to one's involvement in a fashion product that is driven by the need and interest in the product. Impulse buying experienced by consumers can be influenced by positive emotion. This research was conducted to find out the influence of shopping lifestyle, fashion involvement and positive emotion toward impulse buying behavior. There were 220 respondents. The sampling method was purposive sampling method. The analysis technique used in this research is Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results with multiple linear regression analysis showed that shopping lifestyle, fashion involvement and positive emotion had a significant positive effect on the impulse buying behavior. Keywords: fashion involvement, impulse buying, positive emotion, and shopping lifestyle.
Approche Evo-Devo de la différenciation et de la régionalisation du système nerveux chez la seiche Sepia officinalis

Au sein des Mollusques, les Cephalopodes se distinguent par leurs capacites cognitives. Leur cerveau, issu de ganglions condenses, se met en place via un developpement direct et leur systeme nerveux ne s’organise pas en un cordon nerveux le long d'axes antero-posterieur et medio-lateral clairs, contrairement aux organismes les plus communement etudies (Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, et plus recemment Platynereis dumerilii). L’etude de l’expression de genes connus pour etre impliques dans les processus de regionalisation (Otx, Pax, Nk, Gsx) et de differenciation neurale (Elav, Musashi) a ete conduite chez Sepia officinalis. Les resultats ont permis : 1) d’etablir la dynamique de maturation des ganglions, et de montrer en particulier une maturation tardive des lobes impliques dans l’apprentissage et la memoire ; 2) de proposer une cartographie des territoires embryonnaires, basee pour la premiere fois sur des donnees moleculaires, ce qui apporte un regard nouveau sur l’organogenese des cephalopodes ; 3) de mettre en evidence des roles nouveaux de ces genes de specification et de differenciation neurale dans la mise en place des synapomorphies des cephalopodes (bras, entonnoir, yeux camerulaires) ; 4) de montrer que malgre les caracteres derives de leur embryogenese et de leur systeme nerveux, certains des genes de specification presentent une expression regionalisee similaire a celle observee dans l’axe nerveux median des especes modeles. Ces resultats soulignent l’interet de prendre en compte les relations evolutives entre les fonctions de genes et les organisations des systemes nerveux dans differentes familles de metazoaires
Multiplying genera versus moving species: a new taxonomic proposal for the family Hominidae

adequately tested the monophyly of Homo: three suggest that the genus is monophyletic, but the other three suggest that it is paraphyletic. Difficulties in obtaining accurate clado- grams are not exclusive to Homo. To build phylogenetic hypotheses, several distinct steps are necessary — the assignment of characters to hypodigms so as to define the traits of a given species; the choice of the species to be assigned to each genus; and the assignment of individual speci- mens to that species. This procedure often leads to insoluble problems. In the conclu- sions of the International Colloquium on Human Systematics held in Palma de Mallorca in February 2000, for example, point 9 asserts that: 'No consensual means of identifying biological species in the fossil record exists at the present time'. 6,7 If species cannot unambiguously be identified in the fossil record without extended discussions about taxa, then hypodigms are difficult to establish and, as a result, many nominal species are kept under suspicion. Fortunately, genera seem to be less controversial. Or perhaps not?
ADULT REFUGEE LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF LITERATURE CIRCLES TO SUPPORT READING COMPREHENSION AND REDUCE FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANXIETY

: The number of adult refugee English language learners is growing in the United States. As a new resident and English learner there are many obstacles, they face such as, English language ability, academic achievement, and foreign language learning anxiety. Many adult refugees seek educational opportunities to learn to communicate effectively in English and increase career opportunities. A qualitative method design was applied to examine the perceptions of adult refugee English language learners toward Literature Circles while enrolled in an advanced reading comprehension course in the United States. The purpose of the study was to determine if participation in the Literature Circle discussions better supports reading comprehension versus traditional approaches to second language learning. Additionally, the second purpose of the study was to examine the influence of Literature Circle discussions on English learner’s foreign language learning anxiety level. The participants were five adult refugee English learners enrolled in an advanced reading comprehension course in a bilingual language institute in the United States. Findings of the study revealed adult refugee English learners’ perception toward the Literature Circle approach was positive. Participants strongly believed the Literature Circle approach enhanced their reading comprehension skills, reduced anxiety in learning English, and improved English language ability.
Changes in the colour and pH of rabbit meat in the aging process

Rabbit meat is highly valued for its taste and nutritional and dietary qualities. The main traits that determine the quality of meat include color, pH, tenderness, marbling, and flavor. These traits depend on many factors, among them breed, age, sex, feeding system, body weight before slaughter, and slaughtering methods (6). For a potential buyer, color is one of the characteristics that determine his decision whether to buy meat or not. The most important pigments responsible for meat color are myoglobin and haemoglobin. Meat changes its color as a result of chemical reactions involving myoglobin, such as oxygenation, oxidation or the addition of a carbon monoxide molecule, and reduction, which plays a central part in maintaining the color of meat after slaughter (18). The acidity (pH) of meat, measured 45 minutes and 24 hours after slaughter, constitutes another important indicator of meat quality (3). It is also an essential parameter taken into account when assessing the shelf life and technological usability of meat. The functional quality of meat is associated with its appearance, color, and water absorption, whereas culinary quality is connected with taste, flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. Acidity is the one of the main factors inhibiting the development of bacterial microflora, which prevents spoilage. In rabbits, the acidity of aged meat (stored at least 24 h), pH24, ranges between 5.6 and 5.85, indicating that rabbit meat has an inferior shelf life compared to the meat of other animal species. This final acidity (pH24) depends on many factors, among them the management system, extent of debleeding after slaughter, type of muscle, individual differences, and level of stress. *) This work was conducted as a part of statutory activity, project no.

Sedentary Work in Desk-Dominated Environments: A Data-Driven Intervention Using Intervention Mapping

Background Since desk-dominated work environments facilitate sedentary behavior, office workers sit for 66% of their working days and only 8% succeed in interrupting their prolonged periods of sitting within the first 55 minutes. Yet stretches of long and uninterrupted sitting increase the likelihood of several chronic metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Objective We therefore developed a computer-based app designed to interrupt periods of prolonged sitting among office employees. Methods When developing the intervention, we applied the intervention mapping protocol. This approach for the systematic design of theory and evidence-based behavior change programs consists of 6 steps: creation of a logic model of the problem, creation of a logic model of change, program design, program production, design of an implementation plan, and development of an evaluation plan. Results Working through all 6 steps has resulted in an individually adaptable intervention to reduce sedentary behavior at work. The intervention, UPcomplish, consists of tailored, half-automatized motivational components delivered by a coach. To register sedentary behavior, the VitaBit (VitaBit Software International BV) toolkit, a wearable accelerometry-based monitoring device, is used. Among others, UPcomplish includes personalized goal setting, tailored suggestions to overcome hurdles, and weekly challenges. The VitaBit toolkit supports the participants to monitor their behavior in relation to self-set goals. Conclusions Intervention mapping is a useful protocol not only for the systematic development of a comprehensive intervention to reduce sedentary behavior but also for planning program adherence, program implementation, and program maintenance. It facilitates obtaining the participation of relevant stakeholders at different ecological levels in the development process of the intervention and anticipating facilitators to and barriers of program implementation and maintenance.

Studies on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L)

Thirty genotypes of chickpea were evaluated to study the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advancein yieldand yield contributing characters.Ahigh degree of significant variation was observed for all the characters studied except seeds per pod. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were found maximum for seed yield per plant followed by pods per plant and seeds per pod whereas minimum for days to maturity. High heritability estimates with high genetic advance as percent of mean were observed for secondary branches per plant, seed yield per plant, 100-seed weight, pods per plant and plant height that could be improved by simple selection.
Pairwise Interactions between Neuronal α7Acetylcholine Receptors and α-Conotoxin PnIB*

This work uses α-conotoxin PnIB to probe the agonist binding site of neuronal α7 acetylcholine receptors. We mutated the 13 non-cysteine residues in CTx PnIB, expressed α7/5-hydroxytryptamine-3 homomeric receptors in 293 HEK cells, and measured binding of each mutant toxin to the expressed receptors by competition against the initial rate of125I-α-bungarotoxin binding. The results reveal that residues Ser-4, Leu-5, Pro-6, Pro-7, Ala-9, and Leu-10 endow CTx PnIB with affinity for α7/5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptors; side chains of these residues cluster in a localized region within the three-dimensional structure of CTx PnIB. We next mutated key residues in the seven loops of α7 that converge at subunit interfaces to form the agonist binding site. The results reveal predominant contributions by residues Trp-149 and Tyr-93 in α7 and smaller contributions by Ser-34, Arg-186, Tyr-188, and Tyr-195. To identify pairwise interactions that stabilize the receptor-conotoxin complex, we measured binding of receptor and toxin mutations and analyzed the results by double mutant cycles. The results reveal a single dominant interaction between Leu-10 of CTx PnIB and Trp-149 of α7 that anchors the toxin to the binding site. We also find weaker interactions between Pro-6 of CTx PnIB and Trp-149 and between both Pro-6 and Pro-7 and Tyr-93 of α7. The overall results demonstrate that a localized hydrophobic region in CTx PnIB interacts with conserved aromatic residues on one of the two faces of the α7 binding site.
Food resource use and responses to changes in prey availability of common and thick-billed murres (Uria aalgae and U. lomvia) breeding at the Gannet Islands, Labrador

This work focused on two sets of comparisons: the first was an inter year comparison of the chick diets and related breeding parameters of Common and Thick-billed Murres (Una aalge and U. lomvia) breeding at the Gannet Islands, Labrador before and after a local decline in capelin abundance. The second was an interspecies comparison of these parameters. In 1996 and 1997, years of locally low capelin abundance, I measured murre chick diet composition , feeding rates, breeding success, chick growth, adult masses, maximum dive depths and off-duty pair members' time spent at site. I then compared these data with those gathered by previous researchers in years when capelin were more abundant (1981, 1982 and 1983). After the decline, murres fed their chicks up to 75 percent less capelin and up to 65 per cent more daubed shannies than they had fifteen years previously. Feeding rates of both species varied by up to 250 per cent among the five years, but this variation was not concomitant with changes in the proportion of capelin in the chicks' diets. The murres' dietary shift did not seem to affect their colony attendance adversely; counts of both murres on some plots increased, while on others they did not differ significantly. Neither murre species had significantly different breeding success among years. Chicks of both species grew well following the decline in capelin availability. Masses of adult murres were not significantly different after capelin became scarce. No time-at-site data were taken before the decline in capelin abundance, but after the decline, members of chick rearing Common and Thick-billed Murre pairs both spent a mean of ten minutes together at their sites per feeding visit. Results from the interspecies comparison suggest that chick food resource partitioning might have been negligible between Common and Thick-billed Murres at the Gannet Islands in 1996 and 1997. In both years, the murres' chick rearing periods overlapped almost exactly. In the year they were both measured, the sizes of the principal item in their chicks' diets did not differ significantly. During one of two aU- day feeding watches, the murres’ chick feeding peaks were concurrent, but during the other they were not. In the year dive depths of both species were measured, Common and Thick-billed Murres dove to similar maximum depths.
Morphology and histology of the male reproductive system of the mangrove land crab Ucides cordatus (L.) (Crustacea, Brachyura, Ocypodidae)

Castilho, G. G. , Ostrensky, A. , Pie, M. R. and Boeger, W. A. 2007. Morphology of the male reproductive system of the mangrove land crab Ucides cordatus (L.) (Crustacea, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) —Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 88: 000–000 This study provides a detailed description of the macro- and microscopic anatomy of the male reproductive system and the spermatogenesis of the mangrove land crab, Ucides cordatus. A total of 64 adult males were collected between December 2002 and February 2005 in mangroves of the Baia de Antonina, State of Parana, Southern Brazil (25°25′08″S, 48°42′33″W). The reproductive system of this species is composed of the following paired symmetrical structures: testes, vasa deferentia (distal, medial and proximal portions), ejaculatory ducts and penises. During spermatogenesis, which takes place in the testes, the following developmental stages are observed: primary and secondary spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoids. Production of male gametes was continuous throughout the study period, indicating that males of this species are physiologically capable of reproducing all year long.
Heterosis studies in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) for earliness, growth and green fruit yield

Chilli is an important vegetable and spice crop grown in almost all parts of tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Exploitation of hybrid vigour to increase the yield has become an important technique in vegetable breeding. But the conventional hand emasculation and pollination method used for hybrid seed production in chilli is highly uneconomical as it is a labours process. Early flowering is generally an indication of early yield which is most preferred by the growers to fetch the high market prices prevailing in the early cropping season and also to reduce the risk of crop maintenance in late

Witnessing Obstetric Violence during Fieldwork

Abstract Violence against women in labor occurs frequently in Latin America, based on observations from my extensive ethnographic fieldwork in various Latin American countries. In this article, focused on Mexico and the Dominican Republic, I contextualize obstetric violence within the larger context of social exclusion and discrimination against women. I establish associations between maternal deaths and health care systems characterized by a lack of continuum of care, a lack of accountability toward women, and the withholding of care. I argue that clinical staff learn to operate within the structural limitations of health care systems by not assuming the responsibility of the continuum of care that each woman needs, and that this discharge of accountability is at the heart of how health professionals can navigate, tolerate, and perpetuate the structure of the system and, in so doing, create the breeding ground for obstetric violence to occur. Finally, I explain that although reporting on the suffering of women will not, on its own, prevent obstetric violence, increasing its visibility through research can contribute to human rights-based advocacy on behalf of women in labor, to the monitoring of human rights standards, and to the creation of accountability measures within health systems to prevent obstetric violence.
A note on the chemical composition of the cotyledons and seed coat of three species of sweet lupin

Nine varieties of sweet lupins, harvested in Poland during 1993 (yellow: Juno, Popiel and Amulet; white: Wat, Bardo and Hetman; narrow-leaved: Sur, Emir and Saturn), differing in the size of seeds, were dehulled by hand. The chemical composition of whole seeds, hulls and dehulled seeds were determined. The size of seeds (expressed as the weight of 1000 seeds) of white and narrow-leaved lupins was positively correlated with the cotyledons and protein and fat contents in the seeds. In all varieties about 97% of total protein and 95 to 98% of total fat contained in the seeds were found in the cotyledons, 74 to 86% of total crude fibre in the hulls. Dehulling of lupin seeds may increase their metabolizable energy content for poultry by 20 to 35%.
