BIOLOGIA REPRODUTIVA DE FÊMEAS DE LAMBARI-PRATA, Astyanax scabripinnis Jenyns, 1842 (Characidae; Tetragonopterinae; Teleostei) EM CONDIÇÕES DE CATIVEIRO

We studied the reproductive biology of Astyanax scabripinnis by monitoring oocyte development of 94 adult females. Microscopic analysis of the ovaries, gonadosomatic and hepatosomatic indeces assessment, visceral fat and condition factor evaluations were carried out. The structures observed in the ovaries were described from the histological analysis and the hepatosomatic index, which were used to determine the involvement of the liver in the development of oocytes of this species. Oogonia, oocyte I and oocyte II were present in all stages of gonadal development. Oocytes with cortical vesicles were present in large quantities in the intermediate stage of maturation (F2B) and in a lesser amount in the final stages of maturation (F2C). Mature oocytes were common in the intermediate stage of maturation (F2B), but prevailed in the final stages of maturation (F2C). Oocytes in final maturation and mature viable oocytes, many atresic and post-ovulation folicles were found in spawned animals, besides the ovary disorganization, which are strong characteristics of spawing. Spawned animals were found throughout the year, showing that the species presents a kind of intermittent spawning. KEYWORDS: liver, oocyte; reproduction.
Serological detection in soil ofPlasmodiophora brassicaeresting spores

Polyclonal antisera were raised to whole (coded: 16}2), and sonicated (coded: 15}2) resting spores of Plasmodiophora brassicae, and to soluble components prepared by ®ltration and ultracentrifugation (coded: SF}2). Cross-reactivity of all three antisera with a range of soil fungi, including Spongospora subterranea was low. Test formats including western blotting, dip-stick, dotblot, indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence were assessed for their potential to detect resting spores of P. brassicae in soil. Dot-blot was least sensitive, with a limit of detection level of 10000000( resting spores /g in soil. With Western blotting the lower limit of detection with antiserum 15}2 was 100000. This antiserum showed the greatest sensitivity in a dip-stick assay, indirect ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence, for all of which there was a limit of detection of 100 spores. The indirect ELISA was successful only after the substitution of alkaline phosphatase by protein A conjugated horseradish peroxidase. Of the assays tested, indirect immunofluorescence appears to be the most rapid and amenable assay for the detection in soil of low levels of resting spores of P. brassicae.
Deep-water red coral from the island of Sardinia (north-western Mediterranean): a local example of sustainable management

Since 1979, red coral harvesting in Sardinia has been regulated by regional laws. The regulations, including a minimum take size of 10-mm basal diameter, were imposed to limit and control harvesting. Our study indicated that >75% of the red coral colonies harvested in 2007–08 in the north-western coast were above the legal minimum size for exploitation. Moreover, extensive surveys with remotely operated vehicles allowed us to document the real structure of wild populations. Large colonies (>10 mm) represented a big portion of the population (~38% of the total), suggesting that harvesting effort did not affect yet the maximum size of colonies. All these results seem to be confirmed by the application of the model of Beverton and Holt. This model shows that the fishery of red coral in Sardinia reaches its maximum yield at an age at first capture of 20 years, an age significantly lower than the average age of 30 years calculated for the colonies actually harvested in the Sardinian coast. Our data confirmed that the measures enacted in the Sardinian regulations provide for an adequate management of this resource and, in addition, can represent a guideline for other countries that still lack a valid management plan.
Does Fairness Perceptions of Academic Staff Interfere with the Managerial Effectiveness?

The growth of Indian higher education sector has brought about a shift from collegialism to managerialism and management issues have now become need of the hour for any institution. Thus managerial effectiveness of people in command is now considered as a preeminent ingredient of prosperity and endurance for these institutions of higher learning in this competitive era of global scenario. To understand thisdifferent influential factors to employee’s behavior and attitude should be explored. Organizational justice is one of those important aspect that are used in explaining staff member’s behaviors like job satisfaction, employee turnover intentions, organizational commitment etc. which are the prerequisites for managerial effectiveness. This study is an earnest effort to measure the influencethat organizational justice has on managerial effectiveness of chair holders i.e. director general, director, secretory, principal, and head of the departments in the higher education institutions. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Pearson correlation, structural equation modelling and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used. The findings revealed that faculty’s perceptions of distributive justice, and interactional justice has a significant positive influence on managerial effectiveness while procedural justice depicted as not having significant positive influence on managerial effectiveness of heads in institutions of higher learning. It is observed that by concentrating on justice issues institutions and chair holders may be able to create a healthier and more productive workplace and chairpersons’ overall managerial effectiveness can be enhanced.

A new species of river crab, Potamonautes granularis sp. nov., from the lower reaches of the Olifants River, South Africa is described and illustrated. The orange tips of the chelipeds and the granulation of the postfrontal crest can distinguish this species from other freshwater crabs in the area. The morphological differences between P. granularis sp. nov., P. perlatus, and P. sidneyi are investigated and quantified and the new species is compared with other freshwater crabs from the region.
A Review on the Potential Effects of Mannheimia haemolytica and its Immunogens on the Female Reproductive Physiology and Performance of Small Ruminants

| Mannheimia haemolytica causes pneumonic pasteurellosis (mannheimiosis) in ruminants which is the most economically significant infectious disease. Mannheimia belongs to the family Pasteurellaceae, are nonmotile, nonspore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-positive and fermentative gram-negative rods or coccobacilli which are frequent respiratory and digestive tract commensals in both domestic and wild animals. They can produce infection in animals with compromised immune states. The capsular polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide and iron-regulated outer membrane proteins are the major virulent factors of organism stimulating the host immunity. There is a significant gap on the effects of the M. haemolytica and its’ immunogens on the physiology and performance of the reproductive system in small ruminants. Therefore, the goal of this review is to highlight the potential involvement of the female reproductive system with infection with M. haemolytica and its immunogens in small ruminants. Moreover, the review has directed the future research path to determine the role of this bacterium in the pathophysiology and performance of the female reproductive system.

Gastric evacuation in plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L.: effects of dietary energy level and food composition.

Using a volume dependent model of evacuation, the effects of dietary energy level and source upon gastric emptying were examined. Diets containing small amounts of energy were evacuated from the stomach more rapidly than those with a higher energy content. When the data is examined with respect to the evacuation of energy from the stomach and is plotted as √Energy = ce−me Time; the rate of evacuation (me) is seen to be independent of energy level and the composition of the diet.
STUDY OF DELONE-MCLEAN INFORMATION SYSTEM SUCCESS MODEL: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTEM QUALITY AND INFORMATION QUALITY

Information has become a strategic need for the future success of the organization. All organizations need information to make effective decisions. Information is an output of information system (IS). Consequently, the quality of information depends on the IS implementation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the IS success model. A survey approach was used in this study. The populations were Muhammadiyah higher education institutions and simple random sampling for determined respondent. PLS-SEM was used as an analytical tool. The data were collected using a questionnaire. This study models the relationship between IS quality and information quality. We hypothesize that higher quality information is generated from high-quality systems. The results have shown that IS quality affected information quality. The use of high quality IS can produce high-quality information. Therefore, to improve the quality of information, an organization needs to improve IS quality. To make it can be done through increased some dimensions, such as integration, flexibility, ease of use and accessibility. Thus, the information quality can be measured by the relevant, accurate, timely, and complete information. Later, the quality of information has been influenced by the IS quality. This study contributes theoretically to IS success models through the link of system quality to information quality.
Intermittent Light and Restricted Feeding of Broiler Chickens

Abstract A light control study in conjunction with feed restriction was conducted with 1600 meat-type chickens housed in 32 pens with sexes separate. All groups received continuous light of 50 lux for the first 7 days. Light intensity was reduced at weekly intervals to 3 lux at 4 weeks of age which was maintained to 8 weeks. Four light treatments were utilized. CL (continuous light); 1:2 (hours light: dark); . 25:1.75; and DLR (decreasing light ratio as follows: 2:1 from 8 to 14 days, 1.5:2.5 from 15 to 21 days, 1:2 from 22 to 28 days, .5:2.5 from 29 to 42 days, .25:1.75 from 43 to 56 days). Feed treatments were full-fed and restricted (85% of full-fed from 15 to 42 days). No differences between light regimes for 8-week body weight of females were noted; however, the males under 1:2 were heavier than CL and DLR regime males. Poorer feed efficiency was noted with CL in females and also when compared to DLR with males. No differences in dressing percentages were noted between light treatments. Intermittent light groups tended toward more abdominal fat, especially in the females. During the period of feed restriction (14 to 42 days) greater gains and better feed efficiencies were noted for the full-fed groups than for the restricted groups; however, from 43 to 56 days when all were full-fed this was reversed. Dressing percentage was greater with less abdominal fat for full-fed males than for restricted. Broilers subjected to the restricted feed treatment exhibited considerable compensatory growth, however, 8-week body weights were significantly reduced.
Muscle development in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) embryos and the effect of temperature on muscle cellularity

Salmon eggs were incubated at 5, 8 or 11° C from fertilization to hatching. At Gorodilov stages 25, 27, 29, 31 and 33 transverse sections of whole embryos (at somite level 10–15) were prepared for histochemistry and electron microscopy. At every stage up to hatching, cross–sectional areas of the embryos were not different between temperatures, and from stage 27 onwards there was also no difference in the ratio of white to red muscle. However, there were more muscle fibres but of smaller average diameter in both the red and white muscle for the colder temperature embryos. At hatching there were also more nuclei (per cross–section) in the colder embryos but more nuclei per muscle fibre in the warmer embryos. In all cases the 8° C embryos were intermediate between 5 and 11° C embryos in their muscle parameters. Fast and slow muscle fibres could only be distinguished in the embryos by alkali–stable ATPase reactions. Succinic dehydrogenase activity was low in embryonic fish. No differences between the temperature groups were detected in the histochemical reactions for either ATPase or succinic dehydrogenase activities.
Ontogenetic changes in the natural diet of the sandy shore crab, Matuta lunaris (Forskål) (Brachyura : Calappidae)

During June and July, 1984, the ontogenetic changes in the composition of the natural diet of M. lunaris from Pallarenda beach, Townsville, Australia, were investigated by analyses of foregut contents using the percentage occurrence and percentage point methods. M. lunaris was found to be a predator of small crustaceans and molluscs and a facultative scavenger. There were marked changes in the composition of its diet during ontogeny: small individuals fed primarily on small crustaceans such as sergestids and copepods; large individuals fed primarily on anomurans and gastropods. The possible influence of ontogenetic changes in chelae function upon the diet is discussed.
Drosha, Dicer, and DGCR8 in PBMCs from ankylosing spondylitis patients

Objective/Aim: Two major enzymes in the microRNA maturation process, Dicer and Drosha, as well as DGCR8, the assistant of Drosha, function in the microprocessor complex. In this survey, the mRNA expression profiles of Drosha, Dicer, and DGCR8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and healthy controls were measured. Methods: Forty patients with AS and 40 age and gender matched healthy individuals were included in the study. PBMCs were separated, total RNA content of the cells was isolated, and first strand cDNA was synthesized. Quantitative analysis was performed through real-time PCR using the SYBR Green gene expression master mix. Results: AS cases expressed the Drosha mRNA almost equal to that of healthy controls (Fold Change= –0.94; P= 0.200). However, both Dicer and DGCR8 mRNA expressions were downregulated in patients relative to healthy subjects (Fold Change= –0.54 and –0.60; P= 0.002 and 0.004, respectively). Conclusion: Our results suggest that downregulation of miRNA maturation components, namely Dicer and DGCR8 may be contributing in the pathogenesis procedure of AS.

Real-time estimation of the reproduction number of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China in 2020 based on incidence data

Background Since the first appearance in Wuhan, China in December 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed serious threats to the public health in many Chinese places and overseas. It is essential to quantify the transmissibility on real-time basis for designing public health responses. Methods We estimated the time-varying reproduction numbers in China, Hubei province and Wuhan city by using the renewable equation determined by the serial interval (SI) of COVID-19. We compare the average reproduction numbers in different periods of time to explore the effectiveness of the public health control measures against the COVID-19 epidemic. Results We estimated the reproduction numbers at 2.61 (95% CI: 2.47–2.75), 2.76 (95% CI: 2.54–2.95) and 2.71 (95% CI: 2.43–3.01) for China, Hubei province and Wuhan respectively. We found that the reproduction number largely dropped after the city lockdown. As of February 16, the three reproduction numbers further reduced to 0.98, 1.14 and 1.41 respectively. Conclusions The control of COVID-19 epidemic was effective in substantially reducing the disease transmissibility in terms of the reproduction number in China reduced to 0.98 as of February 16. At the same time, the reproduction number in Wuhan was probably still larger than 1, and thus the enhancement in the public health control was recommended to maintain.
I don’t care what the robot does! Trust in automation when working with a heavy-load robot

There are many reasons for the implementation of human-robot collaboration (HRC). HRC enables flexibility of increasingly complex production sites. In contrast to this, the economic aim of process efficiency is threatened by workers’ fear and mistrust in collaborative robots. Fenceless heavy-load collaborative robots have associated risks and so under-or overtrust in automation may result in injuries. An experiment with 25 participants and a heavy-load industrial robot was conducted in a pseudo real-world test environment. Interaction level and robot trajectory were used as within-subject independent variables. Additionally, temporal position of first-failure was varied between participants. Emotional experience and trust were dependent variables. Interaction level, robot trajectory and position of the first-failure did not reveal practical relevant effects on fear or trust. While participants showed short-term responses to first-failure events, following scenarios were not influenced by first-failure regarding emotional experience or trust. Overall, negative emotions were poorly detected and trust in automation was high. These results are in line with findings in the literature regarding overtrust in automation.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SUPERVISED AND UNSUPERVISED LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR ONLINE USER CONTENT SUICIDAL IDEATION DETECTION

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in most countries around the world; it is one of the three most common causes of death in a group of young people (15-24 years old), but so far no methods have been developed for diagnosing suicidal tendencies. In this connection, the problem of developing methods for identifying people prone to suicidal behavior is becoming especially topical. One of the directions of such research is the search for typological features of the speech related to suicide using the methods of mathematical linguistics, automatic text processing and machine learning. In foreign science, the texts of people that were motivated by suicide (mainly suicide notes) are studied using methods of automatic text processing (natural language processing), machine learning methods, and models that are constructed to allow to classify whether the text is related to suicide or not. It seems obvious that in order to develop methods for identifying people who are prone to suicide, it is necessary to analyze not only suicide notes (which are usually texts of small volume), but also other texts created by people who have committed suicide. The purpose of this work is to build a model of machine learning, apply teaching methods with and without a teacher, then select the most efficient algorithm for the task to classify whether the text is connected to suicide using comparative analysis. Our research contributes to detection of depressive content that can cause suicide, and to help such people reach confident help from psychologists of national suicide preventing center in Kazakhstan. Obtaining highest result for 95% of f1-score for Random Forest (Supervised) with tf-idf vectorization model, in conclusion we may say that K-means (Unsupervised) using tf-idf shows impressive results, which is only 4% lower in f1-score and precision.
The status and conservation of the endemic bird species of São Tomé and Príncipe, West Africa

Summary Fieldwork on the distribution, status and ecology of the endemic bird species of São Tomé and Príncipe was conducted from June to September 1990. The results are here combined with other evidence, notably from recent ICBP-backed fieldwork. Findings largely support existing Red Data Book listings, although Oriolus crassirostris is now found only in remote undisturbed areas at low density, and deserves “Rare” status. Particular achievements of the 1990 fieldwork were the first observations since the 1920s of Bostrychia bocagei, Lanius newtoni and Amaurocichla bocagii, the first two being very rare (one seen of each) and the last patchily common (along streams), records of all three being from either Rio Xufexufe or Rio Ana Chaves or both. Primary forest, mature secondary forest and shade forest are all important to the security of the full avifauna of both islands.
