The pollination ecology and reproductive success of the Australian shrub Grevillea macleayana

Theory predicts that plants that are more attractive to pollinators (via greater floral rewards) should have greater reproductive success, produce higher quality seed, and hence have greater fitness. Within a species, we assume that competition for effective pollinators is more intense because plants look the same, and thus, attracting pollinators may be more difficult. Moreover, plant-pollinator systems are highly variable and, in Australia, they have been subject to disruption by habitat fragmentation and the introduction of the European Honeybee. Ultimately, some individuals within a population will be more fit than others, however, there is little empirical evidence on the relationships between floral traits and plant fitness. This study examines the links between floral rewards, pollinator foraging behaviour, reproductive success, plant mating system parameters, and some non-reproductive plant traits and environmental variables, in an Australian woody shrub. Variation may be evident in five primary components of plant-pollinator systems: (1) floral traits (e.g. flower, nectar, and pollen production); (2) pollinator foraging behaviour (e.g. insects, honeyeaters, and mammals); (3) reproductive success (e.g. pollen transfer, seed production and viability); (4) plant mating system and genetics (e.g. self-compatible species with low outcrossing rates) and (5) non-reproductive plant traits and environmental variables (e.g. plant size and density, climatic conditions). Our current understanding of the extent of intraspecific variation within these variables and how these variables interact within pollination systems is poor. This study quantifies intraspecific variation among Grevillea macleayana plants in each of these five components of the plant-pollination system, using three sites studied over three years. The broad aims are to: (1) quantify variation among plants in characteristics conferring attractiveness to pollinators (floral traits), pollinator foraging behaviour, reproductive success, and mating system variables and (2) determine how these components are related, and identify the interactions most important in explaining variation among plants. role outcrossing all families, and each found very low biparental inbreeding rates across all families. very low family outcrossing rates this is
Factors Influencing Customers Acceptance of Using the QR Code Feature in Offline Merchants for Generation Z in Bandung (Extended UTAUT2)

Mobile payment services is happening in Indonesia are shifting to support the cashless society future supported by the many tech-savvy consumers in Indonesia. The leading mobile payment players, namely Go-Pay, OVO, DANA, LinkAja, etc. began to expand their target market network by adding the QR Code feature to perform transactions in offline merchants. With the offering transactions of cashbacks, the consumer will more likely to adopt the QR Code because the promotion can only be obtained by making offline transactions at several affiliated merchants. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that can influence the behavioral intention and the actual usage for using the QR Code feature in mobile payment to perform transactions in offline merchants. This study will also identify the extent to which the actual usage of the QR Code feature can contribute to the National Non-Cash Movement (GNNT), starting from the scope of generation Z in Bandung. This study will be conducted by using Extended UTAUT2 with nine independent variables of Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Hedonic Motivation (HM), Price Value (PV), Habit (HT), Trust (T), and Perceived Risk (PR). These variables will be tested to the Behavioral Intention (BI) and also Actual Use (AU). The result indicates that the Habit is the most significant factors to influence Behavioral Intention. While the others, namely Behavioral Intention, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, and Performance Expectancy influence to Actual Usage and Behavioral Intention. Keywords: Mobile Payment, QR Code in Offline Merchants, Generation Z, Extended UTAUT2
Sensitive Heritage: Ethnographic Museums, Provenance Research, and the Potentialities of Restitutions

This introduction lays out this special issue, which juxtaposes articles on approaches to provenance research, conducted at German museum and university institutions, with articles on past, present and future potentialities of restitutions to originating societies in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Namibia. In doing so, the issue makes the argument that provenance research and processes of restitution, and their underlying ethical and sensitive considerations, generate, rather than restrict, new knowledge. They are brimming with epistemic and ontological potentialities: for the people related to the material entities concerned, for the (anthropological) knowledge about them, and for the institutions involved. The ultimate goal pursued is the establishment and further development of provenance research and processes of restitution as ethnographic work and an integral dimension of ethnographic museums in the 21st century.
Prevalensi dan Intensitas Larva Infektif Nematoda Gastrointestinal Strongylida dan Rhabditida pada Kultur Feses kambing (Capra sp.) di Tempat Pemotongan Hewan Kambing Pontianak

Gastrointestinal nematodes of Strongylida and Rhabditida orders are mostly found infect ruminants and may cause sufficient loss for the stock farmers. The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal nematodes infective larvae of Strongylida and Rhabditida orders in faeces cultures of goat (Capra sp.) collected from four goats slaughterhouses in Pontianak. There were 30 faeces samples cultured, representing 30 individuals of goat. Faeces samples were cultured for 14 days under room temperature, the larvae then filtered using Baermann Method. The result shows that there are 3 varieties of goat slaughtered at four goat slaughterhouses in Pontianak, which are kambing kacang, Peranakan Etawa (PE), and Jawa Randu. Infective larvae of Oesophagostomum are dominantly found in faeces culture of kambing kacang variety with prevalence value 70.83% and intensity value 40.82 larvae/gram/individuals. Infective larvae of Trichostrongylus are dominantly found in faeces culture of PE variety with prevalence value 75% and intensity value 41.33 larvae/gram/individuals. Infective larvae of Oesophagostomum are dominantly found in faeces culture of Jawa Randu variety with prevalence value 50% and intensity value 12 larvae/gram/individuals. Teladorsagia larvae are found in faeces culture of every goat varieties with the low intensity value.
Determinants of Adoption of Crop Insurance: Evidence from Bolangir District in Odisha

Abstract Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is an area-based crop yield insurance scheme introduced in Odisha in Eastern India since kharif, 2016. The present study aims to identify the factors that determine the adoption of PMFBY among farmers and examine the operational efficiency of the scheme. The study is based on a field survey conducted in the drought-prone Bolangir district in Western Odisha. A total of 200 households were interviewed with questionnaires, which included 80 loanee and 80 non-loanee PMFBY users and 40 non-users. Probit regression is fitted to identify the factors that determine the adoption of PMFBY. Higher caste farmers with greater farm size, larger household incomes and indebtedness and risk-averse farmers are more likely to adopt PMFBY. Farmers having more dependence on non-farm income are less inclined to buy crop insurance. Farmers cite various reasons for dissatisfaction with the scheme such as: delay in compensation payment, large loss assessment unit and non-coverage of individual and independent risks.
Time of activity is a better predictor of the distribution of a tropical lizard than pure environmental temperatures

Daily variation in environmental temperatures can limit the amount of time lizards have to perform important activities, such as foraging or mating. We compare a number of methodological choices for the spatial estimation of lizard’s thermally constrained activity times, and compare their power to predict the distribution of a tropical lizard with pure environmental temperatures. Our results show that activity time can be a better predictor of distribution than environmental temperatures, if adequate methodology is used for its estimation. The use of such biologically derived predictors might increase the realism of spatial models, allowing better understanding lizard’s biogeography and how climate change affects their distribution.

Effect of an exotic Acacia (Fabaceae) on ant assemblages in South African fynbos

Ant assemblages in South African fynbos invaded by Acacia saligna were compared with ant assemblages in undisturbed fynbos to determine whether ant assemblages change under exotic plants that produce ant-dispersed seeds. Overall, no differences in the species richness of ants were found between weed-infested and native sites but there were differences in both ant abundance and the composition of the ant assemblage. Ants were much less abundant in weed-infested sites. To investigate whether changes in ant assemblages in weed-infested areas could be due to a preference for native seeds over exotic seeds, seeds of a range of species were offered to ants and ants that handled seeds were identified. Thirteen species of ants handled A. saligna seeds and there was no evidence to suggest that the ant assemblage as a whole preferred native seeds to A. saligna seeds. Hypotheses that may account for this pattern are discussed.
Functional Response of Four Predaceous Coccinellids, Adalia tetraspilota (Hope), Coccinella septempunctata L., Calvia punctata (Mulsant) and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) Feeding on the Green Apple Aphid, Aphis pomi De Geer (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Functional responses of four coccinellids, viz. , Adalia tetraspilota (Hope), Coccinella septempunctata L. , Calvia punctata (Mulsant) and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), were evaluated under laboratory conditions to find out how these predators responded to density of the prey species, green apple aphid Aphis pomi De Geer. All the coccinellid species exhibited a convex (Type II) functional response determined by a non-linear model. The non-linear reciprocal transformation of Hollings. disc equation was used to estimate the parameter values of the model. The large predator, C. septempunctata was seen to eat more aphids due to its greater voracity as compared to the smaller species C. punctata, H. variegata and A. tetraspilota. C. septempunctata had higher search rate than C. punctata, H. variegata and A. tetraspilota , whereas the handling time showed the opposite trend as the search rate. The results suggest C. septempunctata is the best predator for the biocontrol of Aphis pomi . Further field-based studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.
FOLIAR APPLICATION OF NUTRIENTS ENHANCES THE YIELD ATTRIBUTES AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE OF GREENGRAM

A field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University farm during summer season in 2005 to evaluate the effect of foliar application of nutrients on the yield and nutrient uptake of greengram. Foliar spray of nutrients (urea, DAP and sodium molybdate) and growth regulator (Salicylic acid) were sprayed as individual and in combination at vegetative and flowering stages. Combined application of 2%DAP+100 ppm salicylic acid+0.05% sodium molybdate increased the yield attributes [fertility coefficient 35.99%, partitioning coefficient (49.18%) per plant and grain yield 928kg, haulm yield 1230kg per ha] followed by 2%urea+100ppm salicylic acid+0.05 sodium molybdate treatment. Similar trend was observed in nutrient uptake (N, P and K) also.
Estudo do balanço de massa e do perfil de isoflavonas no processamento de isolado e concentrados proteicos de soja.

As isoflavonas de soja apresentam propriedades biologicas, tais como atividades estrogenica, antioxidante, anticarcinogenica e hipocolesterolemica. Estas propriedades tornam a producao de alimentos funcionais a base de soja bastante atrativa. Os graos de soja podem conter ate doze tipos de isoflavonas, que podem sofrer transformacoes durante a producao de alimentos a base de soja, havendo conversao parcial ou total das formas esterificadas para as formas glicosiladas e agliconas, dependendo das condicoes de processamento. Ha evidencias de que as isoflavonas agliconas sao absorvidas mais rapidamente pelo intestino delgado do que as formas glicosiladas, logo, e importante avaliar nao somente o total de isoflavonas contido nos alimentos de soja, mas tambem o perfil de distribuicao das formas presentes (malonil conjugados, acetil conjugados, b-glicosideos e agliconas). O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar estudos de balancos de massa e do perfil de isoflavonas no processamento de dois ingredientes industriais a base de soja: isolado e concentrado proteico. O isolado proteico de soja (IPS) foi obtido a partir de farinha de soja desengordurada (FSD) por solubilizacao das proteinas em solucao alcalina (pH 9,0) a 55oC, seguida de centrifugacao para retirada do material insoluvel. As proteinas foram precipitadas por acidificacao do sobrenadante a pH 4,5. Os concentrados proteicos de soja (CPSs) foram obtidos a partir da FSD por precipitacao das proteinas com solucao acida (pH 4,5) ou com solucao alcoolica, cujas concentracoes de etanol variaram de 40% a 80% (v/v). As isoflavonas foram analisadas por CLAE. A concentracao de isoflavonas na materia-prima dos processos, a FSD, foi de 1.500 mg/g b.s., com 56,7% na forma de malonil conjugados e apenas 4,4% na forma de agliconas. O IPS obtido apresentou uma concentracao de 690 mg/g b.s. de isoflavonas, correspondendo a uma retencao de 18,1% do total de isoflavonas presentes na materia-prima. O perfil de isoflavonas do IPS indica que o processamento promoveu hidrolise: 20,3% das isoflavonas do IPS estavam sob a forma de agliconas e 37,6% na forma de malonil glicosideos. O processamento de CPS por precipitacao acida gerou o produto com maior concentracao de isoflavonas: 871 mg/g b.s, havendo uma retencao de 41,7% do total de isoflavonas presentes na FSD. Houve diminuicao do percentual de malonil glicosideos (de 56,7% para 44,0%) e b-glicosideos (de 34,9% para 10,4%), e grande aumento do percentual de agliconas (de 4,4% para 37,6%) em comparacao a FSD. Os produtos obtidos nos processos alcoolicos retiveram pouca quantidade de isoflavonas, cujas concentracoes variaram entre 133,0 a 172,9 mg/g b.s. O aumento da concentracao de alcool no meio diminuiu a retencao de isoflavonas nos produtos finais, mas pouco alterou o perfil de distribuicao destas nos CPSs em comparacao com a FSD. As maiores perdas de isoflavonas em todos os processos foram verificadas nos sobrenadantes: acima de 90% para os processos com alcool, 52% para o processo de IPS e 47% para a precipitacao acida de CPS. Abstract
Necessary Evidence for a Risk Factor's Relevance

Textbook models assume that investors are trying to insure against bad states of the world associated with specific risk factors when investing. This is a testable assumption and we develop a survey framework for doing so. Our framework can be applied to any risk factor. We demonstrate the approach using consumption growth, making our results applicable to most modern asset-pricing models. Participants respond to changes in the mean and volatility of stock returns consistent with textbook models, but we find no evidence that they view an asset's correlation with consumption growth as relevant to investment decisions.
Biochemical and histopathological effects of formulations containing Malathion and Spinosad in rats

Two insecticide formulations, malathion (57% EC) & spinosad (24% SC) were evaluated for their toxic potential using male albino rats. The animals were orally administered formulations containing either malathion or spinosad at three different doses corresponding to Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) (0.30 & 0.02 mg a.i.kg -1 b.w.), No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) (29.0 & 9 mg a.i.kg -1 b.w.) and 1/100 LD 50 (13.75 & 37.38 mg a.i.kg -1 b.w.), respectively for 8 weeks. No mortalities were observed. Significant loss of body weight was noted with spinosad-NOAEL. Generally, the weights of livers increased significantly, while those of kidneys were decreased. At 1/100 LD 50 dose, spinosad showed significant increase in alanine amiontransferase while malathion-ADI showed significant decrease. At all doses, there was a significant decrease in aspartate amiontransferase, except in animals receiving malathion at a dose equivalent to ADI. The three doses of spinosad caused significant increase in serum alkaline phosphatase. Both malathion and spinosad inhibited serum acetylcholinesterase, and induced insignificant changes in total lipid concentrations. The NOAEL and 1/ 100 LD 50 of spinosad induced significant decreases in uric acid concentration, while that of malathion showed an opposite trend. Both insecticides led to degenerative changes of hepatocytes, granulation of cytoplasm, vacuolation of hepatocytes and hepatic necrosis. In kidney, degenerative changes of epithelium lining of renal tubules were associated with occlusion of the lumen and necrotic changes associated with desquamation of epithelium lining. The overall findings of the present study highlight the necessity of evaluating the toxic hazards of formulated pesticides even at the recommended "safe doses" of the technical compounds.

A proper spent nuclear fuel management strategy could enhance the continuity of nuclear power in the Spanish energy mix

This article presents two economic analyses performed with the Mariño model, which was specially designed to analyse the costs of different spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management strategies in the real Spanish context. These analyses are: (a) a Monte Carlo study for those strategies and (b) the effects of a longer operational lifetime for the Spanish nuclear power plants (NPPs) on the costs of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management. For the first analysis, a triangular distribution for the different unitary costs was assumed and the data and assumptions from numerous studies were used to obtain the values required for the distribution. The second analysis was performed for the current official shutdown dates for the NPPs, and the results were compared to other operational lifetime scenarios. The main assumption for these scenarios was a progressive shutdown of the reactors, in order to avoid numerous shutdowns in a few years. These scenarios were proposed for 40 to 60 years of mean operational lifetime of the reactors. The results show that, for all scenarios analysed, the additional electricity production due to longer operational lifetimes compensate the extra costs caused by the larger amount of SNF to be managed. Additionally, for the current SNF management strategy, a progressive shutdown at 40 years of mean operational lifetime has shown to entail lower costs than the official shutdown scenario. However, a strategy without a centralised interim storage facility would be the most economically favourable one for all the scenarios analysed.
Breast Feeding Knowledge and Practices among Primiparous Women with Caesarean Section: Impact on Breast Engorgement in Upper Egypt

Background: The benefits of breast milk are greatly enhanced if breastfeeding starts within one hour after birth. Hunan milk contains a host of dynamic and unique feeding properties. Breast engorgement is one of the most common minor discomforts confronting nursing women after delivery, especially Primiparous. The aim of the study was to investigate the breastfeeding knowledge and practices among primiparous women with a cesarean section and its impact on breast engorgement in Upper Egypt. The study was conducted in the postnatal unit of Beni-Suef University Hospital. The study design was a descriptive study. The type of sample was a simple random sample. The study comprised 90 Primiparous cesarean section mothers; suffer from breast engorgement. Tools of Data Collection were interview questionnaire sheet, knowledge assessment sheet, observational checklist, and engorgement assessment scale. The study revealed that the studied women’s knowledge and technique of breastfeeding were not adequate among the whole study sample. Breast engorgement was more prevalent among the younger, less educated, housewives, low social class's women and those who were rural dwellers. Recommendation: Providing the mother with guidance and support on positioning and latching and modification of hospital practices are effective in reducing breast problems.
