Studies On Correlation And Path Analysis In Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora TZVELEV)

Correlation and path analysis were carried out in 24 genotypes of chrysanthemum for different yield attributing traits. The results indicated that the primary branches per plant, plant spread and flowering duration showed positive significant correlation with number of flowers per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic level. The path coefficient analysis at genotypic level revealed that day to flowering, number of primary branches per plant and plant spread had highest direct positive effect on number of flowers per plant. At phenotypic level flowering duration, number of primary branches per plant and plant spread showed highest direct positive effect on number of flowers per plant. Highest direct negative effect was observed via plant height after full bloom on number of flowers per plant at phenotypic level whereas at genotypic level it was observed via days to flower bud initiation followed by plant height at flower bud initiation stage. Hence direct selection for number of primary branches per plant, plant spread and flowering duration is suggested for getting yield improvement.

Environmental Studies of the Lower Part of the Han River V. Blooming Characteristics of Phytoplankton Communities

Ecological characteristics of phytoplankton communities were investigated biweekly at 6 stations from Feb. 2001 to Feb. 2002 at the lower part of the Han River. During the study, a total of 267 taxa which were composed of 114 green algae, 104 diatoms, 22 blue-green algae, 13 chrysophytes and 2 dinoflagellates were observed. The standing crops of phytoplankton communities were ranged from 1.30 cells to 37.47 cells . The dominant species were 11 taxa including Pediastrum duplex, Scenedesmus quadricauda in green algae, Osillatoria limosa, Microcystis aeruginosa, Merisomorpedia sp. , Phormidium sp. in blue-green algae, and Asterionella gracillima, Aulacoseira granulata, Fragilaria crotonensis, Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis, Synedra acus in diatoms. Asterionella gracillima and Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis were abundant at every station from winter to spring. Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis occupied the highest dominant ratio and standing crop. From summer to autumn, dominant species were Aulacoseira granulata at all stations and blue-green algae such as Osillatoria limosa, Microcystis aeruginosa, Merisomorpedia sp. at some stations. These 4 species were mostly present at the lower stations 4, 5, 6 and very few at the upper stations 1, 2, 3.
Effects of process variables and addition of polydextrose and whey protein isolate on the properties of barley extrudates

Summary Extrusion cooking is commonly used in the production of snacks. In the present study, extrudates were prepared using barley flour alone and with the addition of either polydextrose (PD) or whey protein isolate (WPI) and both PD and WPI. Independent process variables were water content of the mass (17%, 20% and 23%), screw speed (200, 350 and 500 rpm) and temperature of section 6 and die (110, 130 and 150 °C). Expansion, hardness, water content, porosity and chemical composition of the extrudates were analysed. Highly porous and expanded snack products with high dietary fibre and protein contents were obtained from barley flour and WPI when water content of mass was 17%, screw speed 500 rpm and temperature of section 6 and die 130 °C. Barley flour alone or with PD resulted in hard and non-expanded extrudates. Expansion of extrudates was statistically significantly increased with decreasing water content of the mass and increasing screw speed in all trials.
Cutting the Gordian Knot: Investment Dispute Settlement À La Carte

There is widespread consensus that investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) is in need of reform. This consensus, however, obscures stark differences among states with respect to how to reform the current system of investment arbitration. This think piece examines the different approaches proposed for investment dispute settlement reform by major players in the global North and global South and considers both differences and commonalities between the different models – ranging from incremental changes that respond to specific criticisms of the ISDS system to the development of far-reaching institutional reforms, such as the establishment of a multilateral investment court. The analysis of the main models points to convergence in the objectives of investment dispute settlement reform and many procedural features. Yet, in relation to core elements of dispute settlement design, the main models are not only incompatible with each other but are often presented as non-negotiable red lines that reflect either constitutional constraints or deeply enshrined ideological choices. Should these positions remain entrenched, arriving at a consensual model for the future of investment dispute settlement may be impossible, leading to a fragmented system that in fact defeats important goals of the current reform process. The question therefore arises whether (and how) the Gordian Knot of competing investment dispute settlement designs can be cut, and whether and how competing ideologies in the current reform process can be bridged. Following a review of the principal challenges to the legitimacy of the current investment dispute settlement framework, the think piece presents the main models proposed for reforming the investment arbitration system and introduces the idea of “dispute settlement a la carte“ as a way forward. Drawing on the dispute settlement design under the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the think piece suggests a model that allows states to choose, under the umbrella of a common framework, among different modes of investment dispute settlement. This would encompass the creation of a multilateral investment dispute settlement institution, which would include a multilateral investment court to whose jurisdiction states and organisations can voluntarily submit, but also provide states with the option of continuing to use investor-state arbitration or inter-state arbitration to settle investment disputes. Such a model could provide a common framework for investment dispute settlement reform, allowing different states and organisations to pursue different structural models for investment dispute settlement, while providing them with a platform that promotes convergence where possible. This would ensure representativeness of the regime and a degree of interpretative unity and safeguard the ability of states and organisations to shape their reciprocal obligations.
Pathogenicity and Host Range of Beauveria nr. bassiana , a Fungal Pathogen of Chilo infuscatellus Snellen

Second and third Instar larvae of the shoot borer Chilo infuscatellus Snell. , were more susceptible (51.47 to 65.2 %) to the fungus, Beauveria nr. bassiana even at a low dosage (10 5 or 10 6 spores/ml), At 10 7 spores/ml, the mortality observed was 68.53-75.93 %. Mortality of the larvae decreased with increase in larval age or decrease in the concentration of the fungus. The fungus took less time to cause mortality in second instar larvae and the incubation period Increased with Increase in the age of the larvae or decrease in the dosage. All the six species of phytophagous insects tested Viz . , Chilo sacchariphagus indicus (Kapur), C. partellus Swinhoe, Scirpophaga excerptalis Walker, Sesamia inferens Walker, Heliothis arniigera Hubner and Spodoptera litura Fabricius were susceptible to the fungal Infection. The mean mortailty of third Instar larvae varied from 50.0 to 65.0 per cent in the different species. The fungus was not infective to Sturmiopsis inferens Tns. the principal larval parasite of the shoot borer.
Diets of gray (Halichoerus grypus) and harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus) seals in Newfoundland waters using hard-part and molecular analyses

I examined the diet of gray (Halichoerus grypus) and harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus) seals using: hard-part analysis (HPA; subdivided into stomach and intestine) and a multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Through these methods, I looked at harp and gray seal diet in Newfoundland waters, investigated otolith passage rates within the digestive tract, and developed a multiplex PCR technique to compare with HPA to further investigate biases associated with diet reconstruction based on HPA. Both techniques provided evidence for retention of large prey and faster passage of smaller pray. I conclude that otoliths of different sizes and thicknesses are affected by digestion differently; I suggest that HPA should be conducted using samples from both the stomach and intestine, and that it should be used in conjunction with other methods of diet analysis like PCR as this may give a better idea of the diet, and prey sizes consumed.

Eficácia da reminiscência na cognição, sintomas depressivos e qualidade de vida em idosos na comunidade: revisão sistemática

Background: In the literature, reminiscence therapy (RT) stands out as a non-pharmacological intervention commonly implemented in groups of elderly people with cognitive impairment. Objective: To identify the best available evidence on the effectiveness of RT in cognition, depressive symptoms, and quality of life in elderly people using community support structures. Method of Review: The methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute was followed. Studies focused on group RT, including elderly people (. 65 years old) with cognitive impairment and using community support structures, were considered. Critical analysis, extraction, and synthesis of results were conducted by 2 independent researchers. Presentation and interpretation of results: Two randomized controlled trials and 2 quasi-experimental studies were included (n = 502); the heterogeneity of the studies precluded meta-analysis. Two studies evidenced the benefits of RT to cognition. None of the studies showed the positive impact of the intervention on depressive symptomatology. Regarding quality of life, inconsistent results were found. Conclusions: The RT seems to have a beneficial effect on improving cognition in elderly people with cognitive impairment in a community context
Ethical Accounting Practices and Financial Reporting Quality

Despite the large numbers of regulatory bodies governing the accounting profession, financial reporting and its end products (financial statements) still lack external validity and reliability. Against this backdrop we investigated the effect of ethical accounting practices on financial reporting quality. Primary data was used for the study. The data was sourced from questionnaires administered to practising and non-practising accountants in tertiary institutions in Edo state. Preliminary analysis was done and appropriate statistical estimation was used to make inference on the population studied. The analysis of the data showed that accounting ethics had a significant relationship with financial reporting quality. The study recommends that accountants should uphold high ethical standards and that further work should be done on this subject area taking into account religiosity.
Development of explants potentially suitable for cryopreservation of the recalcitrant-seeded species Theobroma cacao L. and Barringtonia racemosa (L.) roxb.

The two species investigated in this study were Theobroma cacao and Barringtonia racemosa. Theobroma cacao has worldwide economic importance, as cocoa (the main ingredient in chocolate) is produced from the seeds of this tree; while B. racemosa has several applications in herbal medicine. The seeds of both T. cacao and B. racemosa are highly recalcitrant and therefore not amenable to storage for any significant periods. The long-term conservation of the germplasm of these species may only be feasible via cryopreservation. The aims of the present study were to: 1) optimize in vitro regeneration protocols for different types of explants that have the potential to be cryopreserved while maintaining the genetic integrity of these two species; and 2) develop cryopreservation protocols for selected explants. For T. cacao, protocols were established for bud-break and multiplication for both in vitroand greenhouse-derived nodal explants, as well as a rooting medium for shoots derived from axillary buds. Parameters investigated towards the cryopreservation of axillary shoots, from greenhouse nodal segments, and nodal segments from in vitro plantlets, included the size of the explant and pre-treatments for cryopreservation. Nodal segments (6 7 mm) and axillary shoots (2 4 mm) needed to be soaked in 0.5% (w/v) ascorbic acid for 10 min to minimise phenolic production and subsequent tissue death, and surface-sterilized by soaking in 1% Ca(OCl)2 solution for 5 min to reduce microbial contamination. Subsequent cryopreservation attempts involved only in vitro nodal segments because of the lack of success in achieving elongation of excised axillary buds. Vitrification and slow freezing methods, with or without the application of cryoprotectants, did not achieve successful cryopreservation. Attempts to establish a protocol for producing somatic embryos, as an alternate to axillary shoots and in vitro nodal segments, resulted in the production of globular embryogenic callus for both leaf and cotyledon explants. Cryopreservation of these explants was not investigated in the scope of this study. The study on B. racemosa focused on the development of a somatic embryogenesis protocol. Segments of embryonic axes produced globular-stage embryos when placed on MS medium supplemented with 30 g l sucrose, 1.0 g l casein hydrolysate, 2.0 mg

Antecedents to Burnout Among Hospital Doctors: Can they cope?

With increasing stress and burnout accounting for depreciation in the physical and mental health of medical practitioners in hospital settings and the concomitant reduction in the level of their job performance, this paper reports on an attempt to tease out possible antecedents that give rise to burnout among 185 doctors practicing in a major hospital in the center of Israel. Based on the literature related to job performance and Hobfoll’s (2001) model of stress management – indicating that individuals cope with stress by replenishing both personal and work-related resources – we investigated the relationship between six possible input variables and burnout with a view to establishing the associations between them. The results indicated that all six possible antecedents associated with at least one of the three facets of burnout described by Maslach and Leiter (1997), namely, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal efficacy, with workload notably associating with all three criteria. The results are discussed with particular attention to practical suggestions whereby Human Resource Management in hospitals could adjust policy to ease the burden on their doctors and enhance the self- and public image of hospital practitioners.
Impact of biochar, FYM and NPK fertilizers integration on aerobic rice growth, yield and nutrient uptake under sandy loam soil

A field experiment was carried out during summer season of 2018 on sandy loam soil at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Navile, Shivamogga, Karnataka to study the effect of biochar, FYM and NPK fertilizers integration on growth and yield of aerobic rice. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 16 treatment combinations comprising four levels coconut shell biochar (2, 4, 6 and 8 t/ha) and two levels of FYM (5 and 10 t/ha) which were applied alone and in combinations to soil. The recommended dose of fertilizer (100: 50: 50 kg/ha) was applied commonly to all the treatments except absolute control with three replications. The results showed that combination of 8 t coconut shell biochar/ha and 10 t FYM/ha with recommended dose of fertilizers significantly enhanced the plant height, number of tillers/hill, number of panicles/hill, number of grains/panicle and 1000-grain weight as compared to RDF alone and RDF+FYM 10 t/ha applied treatments, at all the growth stages. This reflected in significant marked effect on increased grain (6184 kg/ha) as well as straw (7724 kg/ha) yields and total uptake of macro-nutrients by aerobic rice crop in the 8 t coconut shell biochar and FYM 10 t/ha with RDF applied treatment.
Competitive behaviour of different legumes grown as intercrop with direct seeded upland rice

Competitive behaviour of different legumes viz., cowpea, greengram and groundnut was studied In rice based Intercropplng systems. Results showed that except rice+groundnut, In all other systems, the legume components were dominant. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) was found to be three times more competitive than rice. The maximum yield advantage was obtained from Intercropplng of upland rice with greengram in 2:2 row ratio. The highest rice equivalent yield was recorded with rice+greengram (2:2) and was closely followed by rlce+greengram (2: 1) and rice+greengram (2:2).
Attack and defense in Xanthomonas-rice interactions.

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a gram negative phytopathogenic bacterium belonging to the genus xanthomonas, different members of which cause ~400 plant diseases. Xoo is the causal agent of Bacterial Blight (BB), a serious disease of rice. In this paper, we overview recent research on Xoo virulence functions and rice defense responses. The initial part of this review is an introduction to the rice-Xoo pathosystem and its advantages as a model for understanding the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions. This is followed by a comprehensive overview of the virulence functions of Xoo. The roles of adhesin like proteins, extracellular polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide, pigment, protein secretion systems and their effectors, a cell-cell signaling system, iron uptake functions and some metabolic functions in the ability of this bacterium to cause disease are discussed. In the later part of the review, we outline some of the salient features of rice defense responses against Xoo infection. There are around 25 different rice loci that are known to impart resistance against different Xoo strains and six of them have been cloned to date. The characteristic features of these cloned resistance genes are summarized. Some of these resistance genes have been transferred, using molecular marker assisted selection, into the genetic background of commercially important rice varieties and the newly developed lines have been released for commercial cultivation.
