How Quantitative and Qualitative Traits of Thomson Navel Orange Affected by Citrus Red Mite, Panonychus citri

To examine the effect of Citrus Red Mite (CRM) damage on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Thomson navel orange Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, pairedtreatment experiment, multiple treatment experiment, and regression/correlation methods were used. There were significant differences among the treatments in pairedtreatment and multiple treatment experiments in terms of the average population per leaf of CRM of different life ages and concentration of chlorophyll in the leaves. Also, there were significant differences among the treatments in multiple treatment experiment in terms of the Total Soluble Solids (TSSs) of the fruit extract. In control treatment of the paired-treatment experiment, the highest concentration of chlorophyll (79.13±1.06) was observed when the population density of CRM was 0.48±0.09 per leaf. With increasing the mean number of CRM to 10.59±1.09 per leaf, chlorophyll content was decreased to 62±1.15. Furthermore, the results showed that the storage life of the fruits in treatments with mean number of 6.33±1.8 mites per leaf was significantly reduced. The results of regression and correlation analysis on chlorophyll showed significant and negative relationship between these parameters and CRM population density. The results indicated that increasing the population density of CRM to 10.59±1.09 per leaf at the beginning of the season caused fruit drop and dry twigs. In addition, by increasing population density of CRM to 5.72±0.43 per leaf, the storage capability of the fruits was significantly reduced.
Biochemical changes and development of soybean with use of pelletized organomineral fertilizer containing sewage sludge and filter cake

Filter cake has been one of the most widely used waste products as a source of organic matter in the production of biofertilizers. However, sanitized sewage sludge is a recommended alternative for agricultural use because of environmental issues. Studies that examine the use of this particular class of fertilizer are needed. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of sewage sludge and filter cake as sources of organic matter in the composition of pelletized biofertilizers for soybean production. The experimental design was a randomized block design in a 2 x 4 + 2 factorial, which includes two sources of organic matter (sanitized sewage sludge and filter cake) and four levels of nitrogen (50, 75, 100, and 125%) relative to the recommended dose of phosphorus pentoxide compared with the mineral fertilizer. The use of organomineral fertilizer with the formulation of 75% sewage sludge showed greater growth for aerial plant parts. Biofertilizers formulated with sewage sludge and filter cake can replace mineral fertilizer and increase soybean growth. Quantitative changes in peroxidase, catalase and urease activity, as well as lipid peroxidation, were observed following the use of biofertilizers.
Assessment of Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] Based Cropping Systems in Mid-Hill Regions of Uttarakhand

The research on productivity, energy-use efficiency and economics of pigeonpea based cropping system, viz., pigeonpea–wheat, pigeonpea – barley, pigeonpea – lentil, pigeonpea – field pea and pigeonpea – toria compared with rice–wheat cropping system was carried out at the Experimental Research Block of School of Agricultural Sciences, SGRRU, Uttarakhand. These cropping systems were evaluated under rainfed conditions. Results showed that all the pigeonpea – based cropping system were significantly superior to traditional rice – wheat cropping system in terms of productivity, net returns, benefit:cost ratio and net energy returns. Pigeonpea – lentil cropping system proved superior in terms of system net returns (Rs 63,616/ha), benefit:cost ratio (1.64) and energy ratio (1.94) to pigeonpea - wheat, pigeonpea – barley, pigeonpea - field pea and pigeonpea - toria cropping system. The plots under rice - wheat cropping system recorded the lowest pigeonpea-equivalent yield (1.32 t/ha), net returns (Rs 2,750/ha) and benefit:cost ratio (0.06). The nutrient status of the soil improved significantly due to pigeonpea – lentil cropping system over other cropping systems. Pigeonpea – lentil cropping system proved to be the best in terms of monetary returns, net energy return and soil productivity and hence, could be adopted in the mid-hill regions under rainfed conditions.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF SURVIVIN AND P53 IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

Background : Survivin is a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family , while P53 is a tumor suppressor protein which rapidly increases in response to cell stress , such as DNA damage. Both of Survivin and P53 are overexpressed in cancers including hematologic malignancy. Objective: To evaluate the level of survivin and P53 in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and to correlate it with clinical and hematological findings and response to treatment. Methods : The level of survivin was measured by ELISA and P53 expression was measured by flowcytometry in 37 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 12 healthy children as a control group. The level of these two parameters was measured before and after treatment of patients and also correlated with clinical and hematological findings and response to treatment. Results : There was a highly significant difference in both serum survivin level and P53 expression between children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at diagnosis compared to the control group , and the level has been significantly reduced after complete remission. Moreover , a significant positive correlation was found between serum survivin and LDH , WBCs count and percentage of blast cells in peripheral blood and bone marrow. Also , a significant positive correlation was found between survivin and P53 levels. Conclusion : The level of both survivin and P53 is significantly high in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is positively correlated with poor prognostic factors , also survivin and P53 are positively correlated with each other.
The Macroeconomic Determinants of Household Debt in Malaysia

The number of household debt in Malaysia continue to increase and seen as one of the effects of the unstable Malaysian economy. Consequently, authors motivated to do the study that focuses on analyzing the debt offered to the consumer. The research paper aims to examine the relationship and impact of macroeconomic determinants or variables on household debt in Malaysia and to determine the most significant factor that affects household debt. The study used the annual secondary data from 1984 to 2018, taken from reliable sources; Databank, Knoema, Bloomberg, and Bank Negara Malaysia. Three macroeconomic determinants used; Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Unemployment Rate (UN-EM), and Inflation Rate (INF). The relationship between macroeconomic determinants and household debt is analyzed using Econometric method namely Descriptive Analysis, Augmented Dickey Fully (ADF), Unit Root Test, Philips-Perron (PP) Unit Root Test, Normality Test, and Regression Analysis. Based on the multiple Regression Model Test, the results showed that International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences Vol. 1 0 , No. 5, May, 2020, E-ISSN: 2222-6990 © 2020 HRMARS 989 all the three variables; the GDP, UN-EM and INF, have direct relationships with or pose positive impacts on the household debt. The UN-EM showed the largest and followed by the GDP. The finding indicates that the rise of these independent variables determines the rise of household debt. Only the GDP and UN-EM are significant determinants, while INF is found insignificant. Findings of this study reinforced that the household uses the debt as a substitute for income to finance the rising consumption due to the higher cost of living. The findings demonstrate that the debt level is high and show the actual national struggles. As a recommendation, the future researcher could use different data structure, research on other countries and add more macroeconomic variables.
Mathematical analysis of single-well tracer test

Single-well tracer test as a means of evaluating reservoir in-situ fluid saturation has attracted many interests in recent years. The hydrodynamics of single-well tracer test is based on the radial flow of a tracer which can partition in the fluid saturations within the reservoir. At the same time, the tracer is mildly reactive with the mobile phase fluid saturation. This mild, irreversible chemical reaction results in the formation of another tracer species called secondary tracer. The secondary tracer is different from the parent tracer in its partition and chemical reaction characteristics. Typically, the secondary tracer is not reactive with, and has a near-zero partition coefficient with the immobile phase fluid saturation. The hydrodynamics of the above tracer system is described by a Radial-Diffusion-Convection-Reaction (R-D-C-R) type second order differential equation. The use of this equation to analyze single-well tracer test has, in the past, largely been through the application of numerical techniques. Since these techniques may suffer from inaccuracies due to adverse numerical dispersion or the problem of uniqueness arising from fitting many unknown parameters, there is a need to develop an exact analytical solution. This research work reexamines the R-D-C-R system of differential equations and obtains an exact analytical solutionmore » which heretofore has been considered impossible. Using the exact analytical solution as our basic tool, the hydrodynamic models describing all phases of the single-well tracer test were solved analytically. Graphs showing the tracer concentration profiles for each of the phases of the single-well tracer test were constructed. 37 refs., 15 figs.« less
Understanding The Physiological, Biochemical, andMolecular Mechanisms of Salinity Tolerance inStrawberry Cultivars and in HvTPK1-Overexpressed Barley

The research was carried out to investigate of main elements of salt stress response in two strawberry cultivars, Elsanta and Elsinore. Plants were grown under 0, 10, 20 and 40 mM NaCl for 80 days. Salinity dramatically affected growth in both cultivars, although Elsinore appeared to be more impaired than Elsanta. Moreover a significant reduction of leaf photosynthesis, evaporation, and stomatal conductance was recorded 24 hrs after the stress was applied in both cultivars, whereas physiological functions were differentially restored after acclimation. However, cv. Elsanta had more efficient leaf gas exchange and water status than cv. Elsinore. In general, Fruit yield reduced upon salinization, wheares fruit quality concerning fruit taste, aroma, appearance, total soluble solids and titratable acidity, did not change but rather was enhanced under moderate salinity. On the other hand fruit quality was impaired at severe salt stress. Fruit antioxidant content and antioxidant capacity were enhanced significantly by increasing salt concentration in both cultivars. The oxidative effects of the stress were defined by the measures of some enzymatic activities and lipid peroxidation. Consistently, an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxide dismutase (POD) enzymes and higher content of proline and soluble proteins were observed in cv. Elsinore than in cv. Elsanta. The increase coincided with a decrease in lipid peroxidation. The research confirmed that although strawberry cultivars were sensitive to salinity, difference between cultivars exist; The experiment revealed that cv. Elsanta could stand severe salt stress, which was lethal to cv. Elsinore. The parameters measured in the previous experiment were proposed as early screening tools for the salt stress response in nine strawberry genotypes. The results showed that, wheares Elsanta and Elsinore cultivars had a lower dry weight reduction at 40 mM NaCl among cultivars, Naiad, Kamila, and Camarosa were the least salt-sensitive cultivars among the screened.

The Effect of Resilience and Cognition on (Im)Migrant Students’ Academic Adaptation

Abstract This study aimed to identify cognitive (reasoning and executive functions) and resilient behavioral variables of (im)migrant university students which are related to different aspects on their adaptation to academic experiences. It is a descriptive exploratory cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 64 undergraduate and graduate students from three universities of Porto Alegre, with average age 23.75 years old (DP = 2.9), from other Brazilian state or other country. The results pointed that significant predictors of all five academic experiences’ dimensions were resilience’s aspects and none cognitive. Among these resilience’s aspects, it was highlighted Structured style, which predicted three different dimensions. Those findings show the relevant role of resilience in adaptive process faced by this population and, consequently, in their academic success.

Examining carry‐over effects of winter habitat on breeding phenology and reproductive success in prairie warblers
 Setophaga discolor

Winter habitat quality can influence breeding phenology and reproductive success of migratory birds. Using stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) from bird claws and red blood cells collected in Massachusetts, USA, we assessed if winter habitat occupancy carried over to affect prairie warbler Setophaga discolor breeding arrival dates, body condition upon arrival, pairing success, first-egg dates and reproductive success. In two of three years (in 2011 and 2012, but not in 2013), after-second-year (ASY) males wintering in drier habitat, as indicated by enriched δ13C values, arrived later on the breeding grounds. Based on the North Atlantic Oscillation index, there was likely less rainfall in the Caribbean wintering grounds during the winters of 2011 and 2012 compared to the winter of 2013, suggesting increased winter rainfall in 2013 may have diminished the influence of winter habitat occupancy on arrival date. We did not find any effects of winter habitat on breeding season phenomena for second-year (SY) males or females, but our sample sizes for these age/sex classes were relatively low. Although winter habitat quality influenced arrival dates of ASY males, there was no evidence that it affected reproductive performance, perhaps because of high rates of nest depredation in our system. Our study adds to a growing body of research that shows the influence of carry-over effects can differ among species and within populations, and also can be modulated by other environmental conditions. This information enriches our understanding of the role of carry-over effects in population limitation for migratory birds.
What Drives Stocks during the Corona-Crash? News Attention vs. Rational Expectation

We explore if the corona-crash 2020 was driven by news attention or rational expectations about the pandemic’s economic impact. Using a sample of 64 national stock markets covering 94% of the world’s GDP, we find the stock markets’ decline to be mainly associated with higher news attention and less with rational expectation. We estimate the economic cost from the news hype to amount to USD 3.5 trillion for the US and USD 200 billion on average for the rest of the G8 countries.
How did subterranean amphipods cross the Adriatic Sea? Phylogenetic evidence for dispersal–vicariance interplay mediated by marine regression–transgression cycles

Freshwater subterranean amphipods with low dispersal abilities are known from both sides of the impermeable barrier, the Adriatic Sea. We tested the hypothesis that historical marine regression–transgression cycles shaped the distribution patterns of subterranean amphipods through repeated cycles of dispersal and vicariance against the hypothesis that subterranean amphipods colonized both sides of the Adriatic Sea independently.
Typology of Temperament of Japanese Children Aged 3 and 4

Background: Whereas the majority of studies on temperament are variable-centered, temperament structure has rarely been challenged from a person-centered perspective (i.e., typology of temperament). The purpose of our study is to identify temperamental typology of Japanese toddlers using the EASI survey and a two-step cluster analysis. Methods: Net-survey collected data from 531 mothers and 369 fathers of a 3- or 4-year-old child in Japan. They were distributed the EASI with 4 subscales (Emotionality (E), Activity (A), Sociability (S), and Impulsivity (I)) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Results: A two-step cluster analysis yielded 4 clusters: The first cluster (n = 288) was characterized the highest S and mildly high A and I, and thus interpreted as Average-Active. The second cluster (n = 179) was low in E, A, and I, but mildly high in S, and thus interpreted as Regulated. The third cluster (n = 288) was almost the same level in I and E as the first cluster, but mildly low in A and S, and thus interpreted as Average-Quiet. The fourth cluster (n = 145) was high in E, A, and I, but low in S, and thus interpreted as Sensitive/Hyperreactive. Regulated children scored the lowest in internalizing and externalizing behaviors on the CBCL subscales whereas Sensitive/Hyperreactive children scored the highest on these subscales. Conclusion: We identified four typologies of children’s temperament patterns interpretable as Average-Active, Regulated, Average-Quiet, and Sensitive/Hyper-reactive.
Effect of a Smartphone-Based App on the Quality of Life of Patients With Heart Failure: Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Patients with heart failure have low quality of life because of physical impairments and advanced clinical symptoms. One of the main goals of caring for patients with heart failure is to improve their quality of life. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the use of a smartphone-based app on the quality of life of patients with heart failure. Methods This randomized controlled clinical trial with a control group was conducted from June to October 2018 in an urban hospital. In this study, 120 patients with heart failure hospitalized in cardiac care units were randomly allocated to control and intervention groups. Besides routine care, patients in the intervention group received a smartphone-based app and used it every day for 3 months. Both the groups completed the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire before entering the study and at 3 months after entering the study. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software V.16. Results The groups showed statistically significant differences in the mean scores of quality of life and its dimensions after the intervention, thereby indicating a better quality of life in the intervention group (P<.001). The effect size of the intervention on the quality of life was 1.85 (95% CI 1.41-2.3). Moreover, the groups showed statistically significant differences in the changes in the quality of life scores and its dimensions (P<.001). Conclusions Use of a smartphone-based app can improve the quality of life in patients with heart failure. The results of our study recommend that digital apps be used for improving the management of patients with heart failure.

Cytokine Profiling Plays a Crucial Role in Activating Immune System to Clear Infectious Pathogens

Pathogen infections are recognized by the immune system, which consists of two types of responses: an innate immune response that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and an antigen-specific adaptive immune response. In both responses, there are several activated cells of the immune system, which play a key role in establishing the environment of cytokines, thus directing their differentiation either suppressing or promoting the immune response. This immune response is crucial against pathogen infections. In this chapter, we will describe the crucial role played by different families of cytokines during activation of the immune system to eliminate infectious pathogens.
