HOW DO MOMPRENEURS ACHIEVE WORK-LIFE BALANCE? (EVIDENCE FROM SMALL BUSINESS IN TANGERANG, INDONESIA)

Many housewives have started their own businesses, specifically in the micro sector in Indonesia, making them “mompreneurs. ” A phenomenon observed from these mompreneurs is the struggle between their role as an entrepreneur and a housewife, which often creates conflict in the household. Interest arose in studies regarding problems and strategies carried out by mompreneurs to overcome such imbalance. Therefore, this study uses qualitative method, by looking into four mompreneur cases, to discover the realities of work-life balance of mompreneurs in Indonesia. The study uses NVIVO software to process and analyze information given from mompreneurs. Results of this study shows that the most problem faced by mompreneurs is family dependent care and time management. In addition, the strategy that is widely used by mompreneurs is delegation of tasks and building family relationships. The study seeks to contribute in raising awareness about mompreneurs’ life and their pursuit in achieving work-life balance. In addition, the results of the study further contributes in building the theories for mompreneurs business model in Indonesia.
Émergence et contrôle des épidémies dans les populations humaines

Les maladies infectieuses emergentes ont faconne l'histoire de l'espece humaine. Encore aujourd'hui, l'emergence de nouveaux pathogenes menace la sante publique. Deux axes principaux ont ete abordes : la dynamique epidemique des maladies infectieuses emergentes (MIEs) dans les populations humaines et l'impact du comportement humain sur le controle des infections. La dynamique epidemique des MIEs est peu connue car elle reste souvent etudiee sans prendre en compte l'effet de leurs caracteristiques, a savoir leur maintien dans un reservoir et leur capacite a emerger chez plusieurs especes animales. Nous avons modelise la dynamique des MIEs et mis en evidence que la transmission via reservoir et les populations intermediaires est aussi importante que la transmission inter humaine pour comprendre les nombreuses et imprevisibles epidemies que l'on peut observer. Par la suite, l'impact du comportement humain sur le controle des infections a ete etudie en considerant deux aspects, la prise de decision de vaccination et les pratiques culturelles. La consideration de biais cognitifs lies a la prise de decision de vaccination et l'interaction entre le comportement et l'epidemiologie peut aboutir aux fluctuations de la couverture vaccinale observees empiriquement. Enfin, l'etude des pratiques culturelles a montre que, bien que souvent considerees comme a l'origine de la propagation de pathogenes dans la population, certaines pratiques peuvent en limiter la transmission. L'ensemble de ces resultats suggere que la prise en compte de l'ecologie permet de faire de meilleures predictions sur l'influence de l'environnement sur l'emergence et la reemergence des maladies infectieuses.
Exploration du polymorphisme moléculaire et protéique de la tomate pour l’identification de QTL de qualité du fruit

L’amelioration de la qualite du fruit de tomate depend largement de la variation genetique. A la suite de la domestication et de la selection moderne, la diversite moleculaire chez la tomate a ete profondement reduite, limitant les possibilites d’amelioration. De nouveaux marqueurs moleculaires revelant les polymorphismes nucleotidiques (SNP) constituent des outils precieux pour saturer les cartes genetiques et identifier des QTL (quantitative trait loci) et des associations chez une espece peu polymorphe comme la tomate. Les objectifs de cette etude etaient de caracteriser la diversite genetique de la tomate au niveau moleculaire et de tenter d’identifier des QTL, des genes et des proteines responsables de la variation de caracteres de qualite du fruit. Pour cela, trois etudes independantes ont conduit a (1) la decouverte de nouveaux marqueurs SNP, (2) leur utilisation en genetique d’association et (3) l’analyse de la diversite du proteome en relation avec des caracteres physiologiques du fruit.Dans la premiere etude, nous avons compare deux plateformes de resequencage pour resequencer des zones ciblees couvrant environ 0.2% du genome de deux accessions contrastees. Plus de 3000 SNP sont ete identifies. Nous avons ensuite valide 64 SNPs en developpant des marqueurs CAPS. Nous avons ainsi montre l’interet des techniques de resequencage pour la decouverte de SNP chez la tomate et produit des marqueurs simples qui peuvent etre utiles pour caracteriser de nouvelles ressources.Nous avons ensuite developpe un ensemble de 192 SNPs et genotype une collection de 188 accessions comportant des accessions cultivees, des types “cerise” et des formes sauvages apparentees et recherche des associations avec 10 caracteres de qualite du fruit. Une quarantaine d’associations a ete detectee dans des regions ou des QTL avaient ete prealablement identifies. D’autres associations ont ete identifiees dans de nouvelles regions. Nous avons ainsi confirme le potentiel de la genetique d’association pour la decouverte de QTL chez la tomate. Finalement une approche combinant l’analyse du proteome, du metabolome et de traits phenotypiques a ete mise en oeuvre pour etudier la variabilite naturelle de la qualite du fruit de huit lignees contrastees et de quatre de leurs hybrides, a deux stades de developpement (expansion cellulaire et orange-rouge). Nous avons identifie 424 spots proteiques variables en combinant electrophorese bidimensionnelle et nano LC MS/MS et construit une carte de reference du proteome de fruit de tomate. En parallele, nous avons mesure la variation de teneurs en 34 metabolites, les activites de 26 enzymes et cinq caracteres phenotypiques. La variabilite genetique et les modes d’heredite ont ete decrits. L’integration des donnees a ete realisee par construction de reseaux de correlations et regression sPLS. Plusieurs associations ont ete detectees intra et inter niveau d’expression, permettant une meilleure comprehension de la variation de la qualite des fruits de tomate
PROLONGING OF ORANGE JUICE SHELF LIFE VIA GREEN TEA ADDITION

Fruit Juice especially orange (Citrus Sinensis) juice is very desirable for the consumer because of its fresh aroma and flavor, but its shelf life is less than 6 days at 4°C in best conditions during preparation, packaging, storage, handling and distribution. Microbiological quality is the bottleneck for safety and shelf life . So, this study aimed to extend the shelf life of orange juice by using green tea extracts as natural preservatives. The effect of adding green tea extracts by 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% to orange juice on the physical, microbial, chemical and sensory properties during storage up to 6 months were evaluated. The most important findings showed that the highest content of antioxidants, phenols and flavonoids for juice with green tea extracts (0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) compared to control sample. While, green tea extracts as the best way to minimize the total number of bacteria in orange juice samples compared with control during storage period up to 6 months. Generally, it could be conducted that using of green tea water and alcoholic extracts may extend the shelf life and raise the nutritional and health value of orange juice.
In vitro Pollen Grain Germination and Tube Growth of Ten Iranian Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) Cultivars

Jujube ( Ziziphus jujuba ) is a species particularly prone to erratic fruit set. Several causes such as pollen germination and tube growth involve in this behaviour. Thus, the present research aimed to evaluate and compare of pollen grains germination and tube growth of ten Iranian jujube cultivars on in vitro condition. A factorial trial based on completely randomized design with five replications was carried out. The pollen grains were collected from un-opened-flowers of Al-Ghour’, ‘Bardaskan’, ‘Doroh’, ‘Gazik’, ‘Ghom’, ‘Giouk’, ‘Kangan’, ‘Kalkestan’, ‘Magham Sari’ and ‘Noghab’ cultivars at balloon stage. This study showed that there were significant differences among the cultivars in all measured factors. The highest percentage of pollen grains germination was observed for ‘Gazik’, followed by ‘Bardaskan’, while the lowest was in ‘Al-Ghour’. The percentage of pollen grains germination increased with the increasing time of incubation period up to 36 h. Also, flowering times are found to be effective in germination of pollen grains, which 1 flash had highest percentage of germination of pollen grains than in comparison to other flowering times. The results also showed that the mean time germination varied from 24.52-25.92 h, mean hourly germination from 0.67-1.55, hourly germination speed from 0.64-1.48 and coefficient of velocity of germination of pollen grains from 0.058-0.061. The length of pollen tube was found between 44.4 and 624.8 µm. These data demonstrated that cultivar is the main factor determining pollen grains germination and tube growth in jujube, which this important information can be useful for selection of superior desirable jujube genotypes for bringing to commercial cultivation.

THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS SOURCES AND LEVELS OF SUPPLEMENTAL VITAMIN D3 ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND SERUM 25(OH)D3 OF YOUNG PIGS

Seven experiments using a total of 3,251 preweaned pigs, nursery pigs, and sows were used to determine the effects of: 1) supplemental vitamin D3 on suckling and nursery pig growth, and maternal performance, and 2) high sulfate water, dietary zeolite and humic substance on nursery pig performance. Also, a web-based survey was developed to question pork producers and advisors of the swine industry on their knowledge of feed efficiency. Experiment 1 tested an oral dose of either; none, 40,000 or 80,000 IU vitamin D3 given to pigs 24 to 48 h after farrowing. No differences in growth performance or bone mineralization were observed, but vitamin D3 supplementation increased serum 25(OH)D3 on d 10, 20, and 30, but returned to control values by d 52. Experiments 2 and 3 evaluated an oral dose of vitamin D3 to pigs just before weaning, as well as added D3 in nursery diets and in drinking water. There were no effects on growth performance; however, serum 25(OH)D3 increased with all sources of vitamin D3 supplementation. Experiment 4 evaluated if pigs had a preference to 1 of 3 dietary concentrations of vitamin D3. Pigs ate less feed from diets containing very high levels of vitamin D3 compared to commonly supplemented levels. Experiment 5 evaluated 3 levels of vitamin D3 in sow diets. There were no effects on sow productivity, subsequent pig performance, or piglet bone ash content. However, increasing vitamin D3 increased sow serum 25(OH)D3, milk vitamin D, and pig serum 25(OH)D3. Experiment 6 and 7 evaluated the effects of dietary zeolite and humic substances in nursery pigs drinking high sulfate water. Ultimately, pigs drinking high sulfate water had increased fecal moisture content and decreased growth performance, and feed additives evaluated were ineffective in ameliorating these negative effects. Finally, data collected from the feed efficiency survey suggest that there are knowledge gaps about practices that effect feed efficiency. Results from this survey will help extension educators better target specific industry segments with current information and provide more specific areas of future research where lack of information has been identified.
Levels of histidine-rich glycoprotein variants in human blood are associated to chronological age and predict mortality

1. SUMMARY An important aspect of age-related research is to find proteins in human blood that can be used to track physiological processes of aging. Here, we have used a multiplexed affinity proteomics approach to search for the presence of age-associated protein levels in human body fluids. First, serum samples from 156 subjects aged 50-92 years were explored using a comprehensive bead array assay including 7,258 antibodies. We identified 16 age-associated profiles (adjusted P

Expectations and realities of GPS animal location collars: results of three years in the field

GPS collars have the potential to automatically collect large numbers of relatively accurate animal relocations. Collar costs, levels of accuracy, and satellite signal reception have been reported by other studies, but there has been little discussion of long-term performance under field conditions. Between March 1996 and April 1999, we placed 11 GPS collars on 23 individual woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou for a total of 26 collar deployments. Reliability was highly variable; some collar deployments operated normally for their expected period of time, other deployments functioned for less than half of their expected lives. Collars attempted 41,822 locations and collected 15,247 3-D and 10,411 2-D locations, for an average acquisition rate of 59%. We recommend that researchers carefully consider project objectives, budget constraints, and available options such as differential correction and remote collar communication, before purchasing GPS collars.
Empria longicornis species group: taxonomic revision with notes on phylogeny and ecology (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

The Empria longicornis species group (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae) is revised. Empria japonica Heidemaa & Prous, sp. nov. is described from Japan. The lectotypes of Empria gussakovskii Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929, E. konowi Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929, Poecilosoma longicornis Thomson, 1871, P. mongolica Konow, 1895, and P. tridens Konow, 1896 are designated. Empria konowi Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929 (syn. nov.) and E. gussakovskii Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929 (syn. nov.) are synonymized with E. tridens (Konow, 1896), and Empria waldstaetterense Liston, 1980 (syn. nov.) with E. alector Benson, 1938. Empria alpina Benson, 1938 and E. minuta Lindqvist, 1968, earlier misidentified as E. gussakovskii, are treated as valid species. Nine species are confirmed to belong in the longicornis-group: E. alector, E. alpina, E. basalis, E. japonica, E. loktini, E. longicornis, E. minuta, E. mongolica, and E. tridens. Distributional data of the species and a key to the imagines are provided. Ex ovo rearings of the four most common and often misidentified species in the group (E. alector, E. basalis, E. longicornis, and E. tridens) were carried out to verify their host plants and male conspecifics. External morphology, morphometrics (geometric and traditional), and DNA sequences (mitochondrial COI and nuclear ITS1 and ITS2) are used to delimit species within the group and to assess their phylogenetic relationships. Mitochondrial DNA sequences analyzed are mostly regarded as unsuitable for species circumscription, DNA barcoding and for reconstructing species phylogeny within the group. In this regard, analyses of the ITS sequences yielded more concordant results.
Failure-time Analyses of the Effectiveness of Larval Shield Defenses in Tortoise Beetles (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)

Plant chemistry and predation are thought to be major factors responsible for the recurrent evolution of dietary specialization in herbivorous insects. However, their relative importance and the degree to which they interact to drive diet evolution remain unknown. The present study aims to test predictions of the ‘nasty host plant hypothesis’, which posits that an herbivore’s diet becomes more restricted as its reliance upon novel host plant compounds that confer protection from predators increases. The tortoise beetle larval shield system affords a unique opportunity to examine how predation and host plant chemistry interact. Shields can be micro-manipulated, including removal, chemical modification and reattachment, without harm to the larvae. We subjected larvae of different diet breadths produced from basal and derived hosts to a predation bioassay and compared the relative effectiveness of their shields under different treatment conditions. Failure-time analyses, the most appropriate statistical approach for right-censored temporal data, revealed that specialist larvae were consistently less susceptible to predation than were generalists feeding on the same plant. Although generalists were as competent as specialists at handling non-polar host chemistry, specialists were better at manipulating more polar host-derived compounds, which are more likely to include novel chemistry. Host shifts may be constrained to only those plants that possess novel, polar compounds. The interaction between plant chemistry and beetle diet evolution may be one of escalation driven by predation, wherein specialists are increasingly more effective than generalists in the assimilation of host plant polar compounds into shield defenses.
Species relationship and diversification in the genus Arenaria L. (Caryophyllaceae) in Iran

Twenty-two Arenaria taxa and one outgroup species, Minuartia glandulosa, were used in the morphological and molecular studies. UPGMA and parsimony trees of morphological characters grouped some of the species in the subgenus Arenaria together, but other species were grouped with those of the subgenus Eremogone, possibly due to the high level of homoplasy in morphological characters. Nineteen out of the 30 used RAPD primers produced 414 reproducible polymorphic bands. A total of 32 unique bands were obtained in different species, which may be used in the species delimitation. NJ and UPGMA trees of RAPD data grouped the species similarly to the morphological trees. The obtained results, along with our earlier cytological data, indicate how difficult is to treat the genus Arenaria taxonomically, as well as the fact that a combination of morphological evolution (including characters change/reversal), cytological evolution (including aneuploidy occurrence, structural changes of the chromosomes, duplication and deletion in the chromosomes content, unreduced gamete formation, and B-chromosomes occurrence) and change in the DNA content (insertion/deletions) have been involved in diversification of the Arenaria species.
Effects of habitat complexity on forest beetle diversity: do functional groups respond consistently?

We examined the responses of a beetle assemblage to habitat complexity differences within a single habitat type, Sydney sandstone ridgetop woodland, using pitfall and flight‐intercept trapping. Six habitat characters (tree canopy cover, shrub canopy cover, ground herb cover, soil moisture, amount of leaf litter, and amount of logs, rocks and debris) were scored between 0 and 3 using ordinal scales to reflect habitat complexity at survey sites. Pitfall trapped beetles were more species rich and of different composition in high complexity sites, compared with low complexity sites. Species from the Staphylinidae (Aleocharinae sp. 1 and sp. 2), Carabidae (Pamborus alternans Latreille), Corticariidae (Cartodere Thomson sp. 1) and Anobiidae (Mysticephala Ford sp. 1) were most clearly responsible for the compositional differences, preferring high complexity habitat. Affinities between general functional groupings of pitfall‐trapped beetles and habitat variables were not clear at a low taxonomic resolution (family level). The composition and species richness of flight‐intercept‐trapped beetles were similar in high and low complexity sites. Our study demonstrates that discrete responses of the various functional groups of beetles are strongly associated with their feeding habits, indicated by differing habitat components from within overall composite habitat complexity measures. Although habitat preferences by beetle species may often reflect their foraging habits, clarification of the causal mechanisms underpinning the relationships between habitat complexity and beetles are critical for the development of general principles linking habitat, functional roles and diversity.
Vegetation communities and edaphic relationships along a typical coastal saltmarsh to woodland gradient in eastern Tasmania

Saltmarsh soils impose harsh selection pressures on vegetation resulting in characteristic plant communities. For our study of the effect of edaphic factors on vegetation we chose Long Point in Moulting Lagoon, Tasmania’s largest saltmarsh, which is dominated by a diverse assemblage of halophytic succulents and graminoids. Three transects were established to sample variations in vegetation along the gradient from saltmarsh to woodland. Soil samples were analysed for summer and winter moisture, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC); a mixed summer and winter sample from each point was analysed for soil organic matter (SOM) and carbon. Additionally, a particle size analysis was carried out on all summer samples. Aspects of soil characteristics were aligned to classified vegetation groups and elevation. Moisture, pH, EC, SOM and carbon were all negatively correlated with elevation; the saltmarsh zone displaying higher levels of all variables than those in the adjacent woodland zone. Clay content decreased and sand content increased from the marine margin of the saltmarsh zone to the woodland zone. Within the saltmarsh zone, soil moisture, EC and carbon had highest values in the low marsh area, with values decreasing towards the upper marsh area. This study deepens our understanding of the roles various edaphic factors play in the floristic composition of coastal saltmarshes.
