The symmetrical tyger: the issues and tensions of teaching Romantic poetry at A Level

Poetry is an expression of creativity through language, which has the power to unlock universal themes that link all of humanity.Historically, the genre has been a neglected area of the curriculum that has suffered becauseof insufficient curriculum time, poor teaching, as well as a deference perpetuated in some circles, which has resulted in the medium being regarded as impenetrable by many pupils and teachers. This researchfocuses on understanding the placeof Romantic poetry within the A-levelcurriculum and consideringstudent’s holistic growth as well as their cerebral development. I explore what poetry experiences students have at A-level,consider the attitude of teachers to Romantic poetry and explore the impact that this has on their students. Working from a constructivist grounded theory perspective, this study considers the attitudes and experiences of a group of year 12 and 13 students in Somerset, England, towards Romantic poetry. Exploring the priorities, interests and understanding of the sample group of A-level students and their teachers,I ultimately conclude that the foundational experiences that students have of poetry are very important and the attitudes exhibited by their teachers can be very influential.
POLLINATION AND THE WEATHER

ABSTRACT Immediate and small-scale weather effects may act as constraints on pollination. A review of existing studies, mostly involving crops, reveals opportunities for research exploiting recent advances in microclimatic technique. Intrafloral temperatures are modified in “disc,” “bowl-shaped,” “microgreenhouse,” “hairy hgat trap,” “hanging bell,” and thermogenic flowers. Protection from free water or extreme humidities is achieved by floral structures, movements, and patterns of wettability. Microclimate influences the timing of flower-opening, anther extrusion and dehiscence, the survival and germination of pollen grains, and the exposure and receptivity of the style. Weather- related effects on pollinator activity operate indirectly through floral reward (the secretion rate and sugar concentration of nectar, and the release, texture, and perhaps digestibility of pollen) or directly through the hygrothermal balance of the insect or bird, to an extent that depends on the shape of the flower and the deg.
VARIABILIDADE GENÉTICA ASSOCIADA À GERMINAÇÃO E VIGOR DE SEMENTES DE LINHAGENS DE FEIJOEIRO COMUM Genetic variability associated with germination and seed vigor of common bean lines

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic variability for characters related with the germination rate and the capacity of the plants to occupy the ground quickly. Ninety four lines from the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germoplasm from the Universidade Federal de Lavras, differing in several characters as color, size and shape of the seeds were used. Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the bean lines. The first was conducted at 120 days and the second 360 days after the beginning of storage (room temperature and humidity and under low light). Percentage of germination (%G), emergency speed rate (ESR) and dry matter (DM) were obtained. The variables were standardized and obtained the sum of the ESR + DM. Phenotypic, genetic and environmental correlations between all the characters were obtained and the expected gain was estimated with the selection and correlated response. Both the G% and ESR presented reduced levels in the evaluation at 360 days after seed storage in comparison with the evaluation at 120 days. It was possible to obtain the gain with the selection, for higher %G, ESR and DM. The higher gain was obtained in the first experiment. Among the lines evaluated, there are genetic sufficient variability to proceed the selection for germination and emergence. The lines JALO EEP 558, PI-103 and CVII 39-24 were identified as the best for germination and emergence and the lines RP-2, BP-34 and ESAL 569 were those with smaller vigor.
Effect of selection for productive traits on internal parasite resistance in sheep

Host resistance to internal parasites, as measured by faecal e ggcountanddagginess wasinvestigatedinramiambs borninthe 198183 years (approximately generation 3) from the Woodlands selection lines. Lines were selected for either: number of lambs born, 100 day weight, hogget fleece weight and a production index in which all three traits are combined; a fifth line was a randomly selected control. Ramlambs were drenched withanthelmintic and thenexposed to contaminatedpasture foraperiodof 6-7 weeks and then faecal sampled. Total plasma protein, albumin and pepsinogen were measured. The results demonstrated significant variation between selection lines in faecal egg count, dag score, liveweight gain, wool growth and blood plasma parameters. Between selection lines, faecal egg count was positively correlated with liveweight gain (0.95) and wool growth (0.41). Blood pepsinogen and total blood protein were both negatively associated with faecal egg count and liveweight gain (correlations of -0.51 to -0.90). Using sire variation within selection line (progeny of 65 sires), produced heritability estimates of 0.13 f 0.07 and 0.25 f 0.09 for strong~~e and Nemafodirus faecal egg count respectively. Significant positive genetic correlations between strongyle faecal egg count and hogget fleece weight were observed.

Investigating the critical success factors for the successful completion of information and technology projects in the public sector

Public sector projects in South Africa are still experiencing high failure rates which have received wide coverage in most published work. The problem of project failure is not confined to the public sector, but it also impacts private sector projects as well. The challenge of low project success rate is also not confined to developing countries but is also found in major economies such as the United States of America and Britain. This therefore indicates that high project failure rates are a major problem which the entire world is struggling to address on a continuous basis. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the critical factors that can increase the success rate of the South African publicsector ICT projects. To achieve the objectives of this study, a quantitative research methodology was adopted. The data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire and the research strategy used was a survey. The target population for the study consisted of 300 accessible public-sector project management professionals working within the Gauteng province. A sample of 120 was selected for this study. The questionnaire was sent to the respondents by electronic mail, and some of the questionnaires were hand delivered. The study results revealed that the top ranking critical success factors in public sector ICT implementation projects included employee training needs and staff competence, end-user involvement, top management support, effective project management, adequate project management skills in project personnel, clear communication of IT objectives to management, acceptance criteria orprocesses, appropriate hardware technology, and availability of adequate financial resources. A total of 96.9% of respondents agreed that employee training and staff competence was a key success factor and another 96.8% of respondents agreed that end-user involvement was critical to the success of public sector ICT projects. Some of the recommendations that emerged from the study included the following: reskilling of project management personnel in government, strengthening of ICT governance in the public sector and the implementation of projects that have the greatest benefits for the target group. More research in the area of project failure in public sector is still needed. KEY TERMS: eGovernment, information and communication technology, ICT, open source software, OSS, enablers
New distribution data for sterile crustose lichens in the Polish Tatra Mts and its surroundings

Distributional data resulting from a lichenological survey carried out in the Tatra National Park and adjacent areas, focus on the lichen diversity of various land-use types, such as pastures, grasslands, wet open habitats (as fens and bogs) and forests. The present contribution comprises records for 41 sterile lichens, of which two (Candelariella effl orescens R. C. Harris & W. R. Buck, Pertusaria pupillaris (Nyl.) Th. Fr. ) are reported for the fi rst time from the Polish Carpathians and six (Fuscidea pusilla Tonsberg, Lecanora compallens van Herk & Aptroot, Lecidea nylanderi (Anzi) Th. Fr. , Lecidella fl avosorediata (Vězda) Hertel & Leuckert, L. subviridis Tonsberg, Scoliciosporum sarothamni (Vain.) Vězda) from the Tatra Mts or the Sub-Tatra Trough. A new combination and status is proposed for Lepraria jackii var. toensbergiana (Bayerova & Kukwa) Kukwa. Remarks on the distribution and chemistry of all species and taxonomic comments for selected taxa are provided.
Survey of 13 Polk County, Florida Lakes for Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) and Midge (Diptera: Chironomidae) Production

A survey was conducted at 30 sites in 13 lakes in Polk County, Florida to: (1) determine the extent of mosquito and midge production in the lake sites, (2) define more precisely some of the environmental factors that influence mosquito and midge densities, and (3) determine if the physical appearance of a site would enable accurate estimates of the mosquito and midge production potential. Although the emphasis of this survey was on Coquillettidia perturbans (Walker), data were collected on the mosquitoes Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, and Uranotaenia and the chironomid midge Glyptotendipes paripes Edwards. Results of previous studies in marshes indicate that higher numbers of Coquillettidia larvae are found in sites with (1) dense stands of emergent vegetation, (2) substrates characterized by a thick layer of detritus, (3) water depths less than 1 m, and (4) dense stands of shoreline vegetation. Production in sites with these characteristics was found to be greater than previously realized. Estimates of Coquillettidia production made at the beginning of the study were found to be correct in 20 of the 30 instances. Production potentials that were over- or under-estimated were due primarily to changes in trap locations (due to fluctuating water levels) in which dramatic changes in habitat conditions occurred. It appears that, with only cursory observation, an accurate estimate of a site's potential for mosquito and midge production can be made.

Effects of encapsulation on the viability of probiotic strains exposed to lethal conditions

Summary The effect of microencapsulation on the viability of Lactobacillus casei, L. paracasei, L. acidophilus Ki and Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12 during exposure to lethal conditions (25% NaCl, pH 3.0 and 55–60 °C) was evaluated. Results demonstrated that survival of probiotic strains to the imposed lethal stress conditions was strain dependent. With the exception of exposure to 25% (w/v) NaCl, L. acidophilus Ki (free and encapsulated cells) demonstrated the highest survival rates through exposure to lethal conditions of temperature and pH. For this probiotic strain exposed to heat, microencapsulated cells expressed a higher heat tolerance at 55 °C than free cells. For the other tested bacteria, in general, encapsulation had no positive effect on survival through the tested lethal conditions.
STUDIES ON GENETIC DIVERSITY UNDER VARYING ENVIRONMENTS IN PEA (PISUM SATIVUM L.)

Genetic diversity in pea with 30 genotypes using D2 statistics revealed significant differences among the genotypes for yield and its component characters. The genotypes were grouped into 4 clusters in E1, 4 clusters in E2, 5 clusters in E3, 5 clusters in E4, 4 clusters in E5, 5 clusters in E6, 5 cluster in E7 and 5 cluster in E8. The intra cluster distance varied from 2.50(II) to 3.786 (III) in E1, 2.489 (II) to 3.409 in E2 (III), 2.546(V) to 3.065 (II) in E3, 2.494 (IV) to 3.282 (II) in E4, 2.684 (III) to 3.020 (II) in E5, 2.667 (II) to 3.008 (IV) in E6, 0.000 (V) to 2.948 (I) in E7 and 0.000 (V) to 2.903 (III) in E8. The results revealed that clustering pattern of genotypes was not consistence over environments. Number of clusters as well as number of genotypes in the cluster differed from environment to environment.
Person Job Fit (PJF) and Employee Performance in Selected Commercial Banks in Anambra State

The seeming mis-match between the needs, goals and aspirations of employees and what the organizations have to offer necessitated this study. The broad objective of the study was to examine the type of relationship that exists between Person Job Fit (PJF) and Employee Performance in Selected Commercial Banks in Anambra State. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 1063 and sample size was 282 determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) formula. Data was collected using questionnaire and was analyzed with the aid Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient. The hypothesis was tested at 5% level of significance. The result revealed that there is a statistically significant positive correlation existing between Needs-Supplies Fit and employee commitment (r= .964, p-value < 0.05) . It was therefore concluded that how aligned and fitted the employee’s needs and aspirations are to what they obtain from the organization greatly influence the commitment level of the employees. It was thus recommended that the studied organizations should not just focus on what the employees have to offer while recruiting, that they should also be concerned with the interest of the employees and that the management of the focused firms should not only evaluate the performance of the employees but from time to time also evaluate the performance of the organization in terms of how they have met the needs of the employee so as to engender loyalty and engagement.

Pathogenicity and Haemolymph protein changes in Edessa Meditabunda F (hemiptera Pentatomide) infected by Paecilomyces Lilacinus

Adult Edessa meditabunda were found to be naturally infected by the entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus (ARSEF 10225) for the first time in Trinidad in the field and consequently laboratory experiments were conducted to determine its efficacy. Mean in vitro radial colony growth for P. lilacinus was the fastest at 200C and slowest at 350C. The LC50 for adult E. meditabunda using P. lilacinus was determined as 6.32 x 10 6 spores/ ml. At this concentration, 50% mortality (ie.LT50) of E. meditabunda was achieved in 1.95 days. Haemolymph of adult E. meditabunda was extracted and used in the identification of proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the total protein content by the Lowry’s method. There were a total of four protein bands present in the haemolymph of control adults, all of which had molecular weights more than 138.7 kDa. There was gradual increase in the number of bands from day 1-3 post infection by P. lilacinus. Two new protein bands (104.7 kDa and 49.5 kDa) appeared on Day 3 post infection. The total haemolymph protein concentration was significantly higher in the control compared to all three days post infection.

Effect of urea or coconut cake supplementation on nutrient intake and digestion of Bali cows maintained on tropical grass hay.

Three rumen cannulated Bali cows were fed basal diet consisting of about 2 kg DM of medium quality grass hay (CP = 7.47%) together with ad libitum amount of low quality grass hay (CP = 3.5%) (HH). In the supplemented rations, this basal ration was supplemented with isonitrogenous amount of urea (HU) or coconut cake (HC). The experimental was on design 3 x 3 latin square aiming to study effects of different source of nitrogen supplementation on the intake of poor quality hay (PQH), total diet, nutrients supply and nitrogen utilisation by the animals. Changes in rumen environment and dry matter and protein degradation after supplementation were also investigated. Neither urea or coconut cake (CC) supplementation increased hay intake but the total dry matter intake was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in HC than in HH and HU. Digestibility of EE, CHO and GE but not NDF were also improved with CC supplementation. In contrast, CC supplementation tended to depress CF apparent digestibility. Rumen pH was significantly elevated (P < 0.05) with urea but it was reduced (P < 0.05) with CC supplementation. Both supplements increased rumen ammonia concentration, while total as well as individual VFAs remained unaffected. Dry matter and NDF rumen degradability tended to increase with urea but not with CC supplementation. Supplementation with coconut cake markedly improved protein balance while it was unimproved with urea supplementation. Key Words : Bali Cows, Urea, Coconut Cake, Digestion

Participatory consumer evaluation of twelve sweetpotato varieties in Kenya

Eleven improved sweetpotato varieties; “Kemb10, SPK004, Mugande, Namaswakhe, K117, Polista, Bungoma, Odinga, 292-H-12, Zapallo” and “Nyathi Odiewo (improved) ”, were tested against four popular farmer varieties; “Nyathi Odiewo (local), Jayalo, Amina and Kuny kibuonjo” for consumer preference. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments replicated four times in mother and baby trial with farmers’ involvement. The study was conducted in farmers’ fields in four locations covering the major sweetpotato production Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ ) of southwest Kenya namely; Kabondo AEZ, Upper Midland 2 (UM 2 ), Ndhiwa, Low Midland 2 (LM 2 ), Rangwe, Low Midland 1 (LM 1 ) and Kendu, Low Midland 3 (LM 3 ). The trials were planted in May and September 2005 both long and short rains, respectively. Ten participating and ten non-participating farmers per location formed a panel and evaluated the mother trial for consumer preference. Focused group discussions were held to determine farmers’ perception for evaluation. Data was collected on consumer preference: - yield, taste, aroma, ease to cook and texture. There were differences in yield with variety “Mug and” yielding highest followed by “K117 Nyathi Odiewo, Namaswakhe” and “Kemb10” respectively across locations. Farmers’ preferred local varieties “Nyathi Odiewo” and “Kuny kibounjo” were comparable to the improved varieties. Variety “Zapallo” and the local varieties; “Jayalo” and “Amina” had lower yielding. “Odinga” was most preferred for consumption followed by “Nyathi Odiewo Kemb10, SPK004, Polista, 292-H-12” and the local checks. Farmers’ involvement is crucial in evaluation of preferred sweetpotato varieties for consumption. However, varieties “K117” and “Mugande” have potential to increase farmers production.
