Consumer engagement and the perception of packaging information
Authors: Mruk-Tomczak Dobrosława , Jerzyk Ewa , Wawrzynkiewicz Natalia
Published: July 2019

Packaging is an important factor influencing purchasing decisions, especially in the case of food products. Packaging draws the consumer’s attention and communicates with the consumer at a critical time in the purchasing process, providing information, while instructing and educating. The significance of the information varies depending on the product and on the information needs of the consumer stemming from his or her attitude. The level of consumer engagement in the purchase can significantly determine the perception of information – both emotional and factual - on the packaging.

The aim of the article was to research the perception of the emotional content and factual information on the packaging of fruit juice, taking into account the level of consumer engagement in the purchase. It was assumed that high consumer engagement would result in greater visual attention to the product information. The tools used achieve the goal included eye-tracking and a questionnaire.

The results have indicated that the level of consumer engagement in the purchase of fruit juice (purchase frequency and motivation) does not affect preferences regarding the type of the perceived information.

Authors: Wieteska Stanisław , Jabłońska Małgorzata
Published: July 2019

This article presents the results of the observation of cases of skin melanomas in Poland. Dermatologists raise the problem of increased sunlight penetration and the unreasonable use of solar radiation. This causes numerous cases of skin cancer. The aim of the article is to signal the threat posed by the depletion of the ozone layer in Poland. The article uses a research method based on an analysis of statistical data on skin cancers, supported by the available research in this area. Studies show that the incidence of skin cancer in Poland in 2007-2016 nearly doubled. Women are more prone than men to skin neoplasms. The mortality rate due to skin melanoma also increased dramatically. In the article, we point to the need of raising awareness of the hazards, and consider the coverage of treatment costs by life insurance as one of the options to protect the health of insured persons. We also raise the problem of prophylaxis on the basis of sunscreen cosmetic products.

COMPATIBILIDADE ENTRE AS ÂNCORAS DE CARREIRA DOS SERVIDORES DAS ATIVIDADES-FIM DO INCA E OS VALORES DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA GERENCIAL
Authors: Souza Fernando André Santana de , Costa Isabel de Sá Affonso da , Bouzada Marco Aurélio Carino
Published: July 2019

Este estudo analisou se os valores gerenciais incentivados a partir da Reforma Gerencial do Estado relativos à gestão de pessoas são compatíveis com os valores dos servidores das atividades-fim do Instituto Nacional de Câncer - INCA. Para analisar valores e orientações dos servidores, utilizaram-se as âncoras de carreiras de Schein. Na pesquisa quali-quantitativa aplicaram-se dois questionários: um para mapeamento das âncoras de 224 servidores e outro para especialistas em gestão de pessoas no setor público, para verificar o vínculo entre orientações da administração gerencial e âncoras. Identificou-se o ranking dos valores e das âncoras dos servidores; testes de hipóteses apontaram que os valores competitividade, inovação, autonomia e meritocracia são compatíveis com as âncoras dos servidores; regressões múltiplas apontaram que o gênero impacta a compatibilidade entre âncoras e valores gerenciais. Identificar valores dos servidores apresenta-se como subsídio para políticas de gestão efetivas; o método original pode ser replicado a outras organizações.
DIREITO ADMINISTRATIVO E PÓS-POSITIVISMO:
Authors: Vidal Victor Luna
Published: July 2019

O artigo pretende investigar o Direito Administrativo sob a perspectiva do Pós-Positivismo jurídico, movimento jurídico e filosófico que buscou reconstruir o Positivismo jurídico por meio da releitura crítica dos seus principais institutos. A partir das contribuições de Alexy (2015) e Dworkin (2002), o trabalho promove a revisão dos tradicionais institutos da legalidade, do ato administrativo e do serviço público. De modo a analisar a incompatibilidade das referidas concepções com o atual momento do Estado Democrático de Direito, esta proposta investiga o processo histórico de surgimento do direito administrativo. Sob o método dedutivo, a investigação promove a atualização do direito administrativo sob os fundamentos da supremacia constitucional e da centralidade dos direitos fundamentais.
CRIMES AMBIENTAIS E ÁREAS NATURAIS PROTEGIDAS
Authors: Silva Helder Antônio , Da Silva Cristina Faria
Published: July 2019

A danosidade ambiental tem repercussão jurídica tripla, sendo que o infrator pode ser responsabilizado tanto, “alternativa” ou “cumulativamente”, na esfera penal, administrativa e civil. Portanto, a problemática reside em estabelecer os limites existentes entre aplicação do direito penal ambiental, e a aplicação das normas e sanções de direito administrativo e de direito civil, no presente estudo busca-se a análise e discussão desses limites. Sendo assim, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é uma avaliação quanto à aplicação da lei penal ambiental diante da ocorrência de crimes ambientais em áreas protegidas. Por meio de uma revisão da literatura acerca da legislação penal ambiental, e em especial quanto à lei de crimes ambientais, lei nº 9.605/98, foi traçado um paralelo entre os espaços territoriais especialmente protegidos e os crimes ambientais, buscando destacar as consequências jurídicas relativas à prática de crimes ambientais nessas áreas. Por fim, foi realizada uma análise da mais recente jurisprudência brasileira que envolve o tema que permitiu verificar que a aplicação do princípio da insignificância nos crimes ambientais ocorridos em áreas de preservação é de enorme utilidade para o sistema judiciário brasileiro e deve ser feito de forma cautelosa, partindo da análise de cada caso em concreto. A análise realizada também permitiu concluir que deve haver uma imputação conjunta da pessoa física, a qual pratica o ato delituoso, e a pessoa jurídica, havendo um liame entre o agente (pessoa física) e o representante legal da empresa.

O presente trabalho visa demonstrar e analisar a teoria do Desvio Produtivo do Consumidor é o reconhecimento do dano temporal, que apesar de um dano recente é decorrência da lesão do nosso bem mais vital o tempo, para tanto, observa-se que o presente bem cronológico, apesar de não possuir sua tutela de forma explícita, no ordenamento jurídico é base de vários outros direitos inerentes. Assim, pretende-se apurar no âmbito do Direito do Consumidor a perda do tempo e consequentemente o desvio produtivo do consumidor, demonstrando a recepção da doutrina e da jurisprudência. Com isso, verifica-se a mudança do paradigma da indústria do mero aborrecimento nas relações consumeristas. É ainda, apresentam-se as possíveis formas de compreensão do dano decorrente do desvio produtivo do consumidor. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, sendo adotado o método dialético, com contraposição e comparação de teses doutrinárias para alcançar os objetivos almejados.
Demokratiebildungspotentiale beim FC United of Manchester – Ergebnisse einer explorativen Studie zur hauptamtlichen Jugendarbeit in einem „Community Owned Sports Club“
Authors: Fritz Fabian
Published: July 2019

Die aktuelle politische Spaltung der Gesellschaft hebt die Notwendigkeit von Demokratiebildung hervor und es wird vermehrt nach ihrer Verortung gefragt. In verschiedenen Beiträgen wird immer wieder die zentrale Stellung von Sportvereinen als „Schulen der Demokratie“ betont. Allerdings steht insbesondere der Fußball unter starkem kommerziellen Druck und die Vereine können ihre demokratischen Potentiale nicht ausschöpfen. Die britischen „Community Owned Sports Clubs“ sind ein nicht-kommerzielles Alternativmodell, der „FC United of Manchester“ ist das bekannteste Beispiel. Unter der Berücksichtigung der Idee von Demokratie als Lebensform und der Annahme, dass Demokratie nur im demokratischen Handeln gelernt werden kann, stellt der vorliegende Artikel aus sozialpädagogischer Sichtweise dar, inwieweit dieser Verein über Potentiale zur Demokratiebildung in seiner Jugendarbeit verfügt und wo seine Grenzen liegen. Dazu werden nach der Erschließung des allgemeinen Forschungsstandes die Erkenntnisse einer explorativen Studie beim Verein aus Manchester vorgestellt und es wird verdeutlicht, wie in diesem Feld vertieft geforscht werden könnte.
Integration durch Fußball!? Integrationsideale und -realitäten in einem Sportangebot für geflüchtete Kinder
Authors: Kross Anne Sophie , Naglo Kristian
Published: July 2019

Am Beispiel einer gemeinsamen Initiative einer Bezirksregierung in Kooperation mit einem lokalen Fußballverein, die seit 2015 ein Sportprogramm für geflüchtete Kinder anbietet, wird analysiert, wie unterschiedliche Ansprüche wirken, die einerseits der Bereich Fußball und andererseits eine gesamtgesellschaftlich-politische Haltung jeweils unter der Überschrift „Integration“ stellen. Dabei liegt das Augenmerk bei unterschiedlichen Logiken, deren Widersprüchlichkeit die nicht-professionelle Fußballwelt meist eher verdeckt prägen, die im Kontext des Programms „Fußball mit Geflüchteten“ aber besonders offen zutage treten: eine Freizeit- und eine Leistungslogik. Dazu findet eine Untersuchung ausgewählter Krisensituationen und sich darin manifestierender Konflikte zwischen Haupt- und Ehrenamtlichen einerseits und Geflüchteten, zumeist Kindern, andererseits, auf Grundlage der Konzepte Werte, Fremd- und Selbstbilder sowie Integrationsideale und -praktiken statt. In einer ethnografischen Herangehensweise stehen methodisch teilnehmende Beobachtung und ethnografische Interviews im Mittelpunkt.
Smoking-cessation acceptance via mobile health
Authors: Ali Rahib , Zhang Ziqiong , Bux Soomro Muhammad
Published: July 2019

Smoking prevalence is a leading health risk and preventable cause of mortality. As of 1.1 billion global smokers, 80% live in emerging countries. Predictably, 7 million of them will die annually by 2030. Mobile health (referred to as “mHealth”) gets popular in today’s healthcare management uses technology, and to combat smoking peril. Technology, being a societal human system with mutual inter-dependencies among its hardware, software, brainware and support network or net components, is integral to mHealth success. Technology espousal can empower health organizations to assimilate internal and external setups and applications, and the government in lieu of maneuvering healthcare management. Economic, infrastructure constraints, and high entry barriers in healthcare management has made mHealth’s triumph unclear in emerging countries. We designed a mobile application namely “Smokers’ Mirror” to examine mHealth’s leeway on tobacco control in Pakistan. Using, the technology acceptance model (TAM) pertinent in this study context. Students’ centric, time and budget constraints involved, hitherto, the study findings divulge that mHealth is expedient for smoking cessation. Moreover, Pakistani smokers agree using mHealth, believe, it is useful and easy to use. Concluding from the narrative of this study, we advocate mHealth espousal will yield promising upshots, if integrated within Pakistan’s healthcare policy.
Corruption, income inequality and decline in South Asia
Authors: Iqbal Kashif , Peng Hui , Danish  , Hafeez Muhammad , Ahmad Khurshaid , Tang Liang
Published: July 2019

By using panel data over the 2001–2016 time-period, this study investigates the dynamic relations between corruption, income inequality and the decline in South Asia. Namely, the panel data are subjected to the Chow probability test, the fixed-effect model, random-effect GLS regression and the Hausman test. The empirical results show that economic growth is adversely affected by income inequality, i.e., they show the significant effect of the Gini coefficient on economic decline. It is evident that income maldistribution leads to decline, yet corruption seems to have a positive effect on economic growth. Despite its limitations, the study yields both future-research directions and policymaking recommendations toward curbing the decline in South Asia.
IT capability, capital availability and firm performance

Published: July 2019

Information technology capability (ITC) enhances firm performance, reflecting the constructs’ positive relation. Namely ICT enables continual improvements in uncertain environments, despite its extant shortcomings. This article assesses the role that ITC plays in firm performance, mediated by capital availability and sustainable competitive position (SCP). Research hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling, using the analysis moments of structure (AMOS) statistical software, applied on the data collected from 316 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan, through a structured questionnaire. The results show that ITC might significantly contribute to SCP and firm performance, wherein capital availability and SCP play their mediating roles, strengthening the positive relation between ITC and SCP. These relations’ unconcealment suggests that owners, managers and partners of SMEs and other policymakers must promote ITC’s self-development, in order to effectively enhance financial capital productivity and to achieve superior performance in turbulent markets. The results generalizability is restricted to SMEs in Pakistan, yet it would be challenging to explore this study’s relations in other emerging economies. Most encouraged are researchers willing to test the study’s model in other industries, especially in non-profit organizations in developed and emerging economies, in order to expedite ITC’s potential contribution to firm performance.

Published: July 2019

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are being heralded by governments and international organizations as a means of augmenting co-production of public services and a number of major initiatives are being rolled out around the world. In parallel to these activities, a body of scholarly work is emerging that investigates the extent to which ICTs enable, or, pose a barrier to, public service co-production. This paper performs the first systematic review of this emerging literature, and provides insights into the main structural and cultural factors which act as an enabler of, or barrier to, ICT-enabled co-production across government and citizens world-wide.
Development of a wholly flexible surface wave electromagnetic acoustic transducer for pipe inspection
Authors: Liu Zenghua , Li Aili , Wu Bin , He Cunfu
Published: July 2019

Electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) have been widely applied in nondestructive testings and structural health monitoring. This paper proposes a flexible surface wave electromagnetic acoustic transducer (FSW-EMAT), which uses flexible rubber magnets instead of hard permanent magnets, in order to achieve the defects detection of steel pipe or other ferromagnetic structures with a certain surface curvature. Traditional EMATs mainly consist of three parts: magnet, coil and metal specimen to be tested. Permanent magnets or electromagnets are generally used to produce the strong magnetic flux density. However, the two kinds of magnets are not suitable for the defect detection of metal specimens with a certain curvature. The proposed FSW-EMAT in this paper adopts a flexible magnet, which is a mixture of rubber and iron powder and has strong flexibility to fit the bent specimen. The proposed FSW-EMAT can be easily applied in the testing of curved structural component and detect axial and circumferential defects by rotating the transducer.

Published: July 2019

INTRODUCTION:

The consumption of mulberry leaf tea is popularly increasing worldwide due to its potential health benefit associated with phenolic compounds. To ensure the quality, the content of phenolic compounds of mulberry leaf tea need to be monitored throughout the storage period.

OBJECTIVE:

This research proposed a rapid prediction of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of mulberry leaf tea using an electronic tongue (e-tongue).

METHODS:

Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and antioxidant activity (FRAP and DPPH) of mulberry leaf tea stored at 30–60°C for 12 months were measured by an e-tongue and conventional chemical analyses. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was applied to predict chemicals parameters by e-tongue data.

RESULTS:

The PLS models for TPC, TFC, FRAP, and DPPH achieved good predictability with high values of coefficient of determination ([Formula: see text] = 0.956, 0.964, 0.926, and 0.943, respectively) and gave low mean square error of prediction.

CONCLUSION:

The results demonstrated that e-tongue can be applied as a rapid and non-destructive tool for the simultaneous evaluation of phenolics compounds and antioxidant activity to ensure the quality and health benefits of mulberry leaf tea.
On the non-disabled perceptions of four common mobility devices in Norway: A comparative study based on semantic differentials
Authors: Boiani Josieli Aparecida Marques , Barili Sara Raquel Martins , Medola Fausto Orsi , Sandnes Frode Eika
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND:

Mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs are often associated with certain stigma. Such devices must be designed with the goal of reducing stigma to decrease the abandonment-rate. Yet there is little empirical evidence on how mobility devices are perceived.

OBJECTIVE:

This study set out to explore how ([Formula: see text] 40) non-disabled individuals perceived four common mobility devices including a traditional walker, rollator, manual wheelchair and a powered wheelchair.

METHODS:

A questionnaire based on semantic differential scales was designed.

RESULTS:

The results show that the more elaborate devices are perceived as more aesthetical and lighter, yet more unsafe and impractical. Moreover, respondents familiar with mobility devices through family and friends gave more biased negative responses in terms of device characteristics compared to non-experienced respondents. Next, non-experienced respondents perceived the manual wheelchair to be more stigmatizing compared to experienced respondents.

CONCLUSIONS:

The findings evidence that different designs of products in the same category can evoke different perceptions of non-users regarding practical, aesthetical and symbolic aspects. Insight into how different design characteristics are associated with perceptions of non-users may contribute to the comprehension of assistive technology stigma and may support design decisions that minimize negative judgments and emphasize positive perceptions.

The Desert in Words
Authors: Hase Jackson Davis
Published: July 2019

This paper textually investigates the alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum, a text written in the late 5th or early 6th century CE that claims to record the sayings of the Egyptian Desert Fathers. The purpose of this investigation is to better understand the nature of Christian ascetic authority at this time as it moved from an oral to a written tradition. As this text bases its presentation of authority on sayings, or ‘words’, this paper will begin by focusing on a corpus of sayings which reveal how this text understands the power of ‘words.’ This text understands itself as enacting authority via words with the intention of transforming its readers. Once this paper has demonstrated this understanding, it will continue to outline a new understanding of the text’s contradictions: that ‘words’ must be prescribed based on an individual and their situation, thus rendering contradictions non-problematic. Therefore, self-analysis and self-prescription of ‘words’ became necessary to ascetics as ‘words’ became written and not performed by the Fathers themselves. This aspect of written ascetic authority also exists within the later systematic Apophthegmata Patrum and other ascetic writings, with differences occurring because of their perceived audiences.

Published: July 2019

Introduction:A newborn can suck at breast and latch well to get breast milk, but infants born with cleft lip and palate have difficulties to press the nipple by their tongues towards palatal direction. Case:A 10-day-old female infant came with complaint of not being able to breastfeed from a normal bottle and accordingly need to use spoon for milk feeding. She was planned to perform first step operation at 3 months with minimum 10 pounds of body weight. For nutrient intake, nasogastric tube had been placed on the patient. Case management :At the first visit, impression procedure was performed using red wax material that previously warmed thus it can be shaped according to the defect on infant’s palate. Subsequently, feeding obturator was fabricated using the resulting cast. Fabrication of feeding obturator used putty impression material combined with feeding bottle nipple. Thereafter, the modified feeding bottle was tried in the patient’s mouth. Conclusion:the use of putty material combined with feeding bottle nipple in infants with cleft palate may function as obturator. Furthermore, correction using the one of the modified feeding bottle can be carried out every 1-2 weeks until surgical repair of the cleft palate is performed.Keywords: cleft palate, feeding bottle, putty material, nutrition

Neonatal thrombocytopenia in neonates born to the mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension
Authors: Chaurasiya Omshankar , Chhabra Kawalpreet
Published: July 2019

Introduction: Neonatal thrombocytopenia is a common clinical problem. Thrombocytopenia presenting in the first 72 h is usually secondary to placental insufficiency and caused by reduced platelet production. Objective: The objective is to evaluate the thrombocytopenia and it is associated neonatal and maternal factors in neonates born to mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital over a period of 1 year. Mothers with PIH were included in the study. A detailed history of the mother, physical examination, and platelet count of the newborns was done and data collected. Results: A total 111 neonates born to 106 mothers (5 pair of twin babies) with PIH were included in the study. The male-to-female ratio in these newborns was 1:1.05 with 59.4% being low birth weight (LBW), 63% term babies, and 20.72% small for gestational age babies. 59 (53.15%) neonates had thrombocytopenia and 12 with severe thrombocytopenia. Although a higher percentage of thrombocytopenia was noted with primipara, PIH symptoms at <28 weeks, preeclampsia, and untreated mother, these were not statistically significant. Severe thrombocytopenia was 5 times higher in <2.5 kg neonates as compared to >2.5 kg babies (9.0% vs. 1.8%) and 1.5 times in infants <37 weeks vis-a-vis > 37-week infants (8.3 vs. 4.5%). Thrombocytopenia was significantly associated with LBW (odd ratio [OR] - 1.8056; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.8395–3.8834, p=0.0305). Severe thrombocytopenia was significantly associated with LBW (OR - 3.08393; 95% CI: 0.7993–184.442; p=0.0329) and with small for gestational age (OR - 7.2625; 95% CI: 2.0471–25.7651; p=0.0021). Conclusion: Premature and LBW neonates born to mothers with PIH should be regularly scrutinized for thrombocytopenia during the early neonatal period. This would reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. PIH in mothers should be ruled out as a cause of thrombocytopenia in early neonatal life.

Authors: Pramod S , Meghan G S , Sridhar G
Published: July 2019

Background: Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is one of the most prevalent congenital abnormalities of the small intestine. Due to its wide-ranging presentations, it often becomes a challenge to diagnose it. Objective: The objective of the study is to analyze varied clinical manifestations of MD in children and their outcomes. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of children diagnosed with MD in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Medical College of Karnataka from January 2015 to January 2019. A total of 13 patients (10 male and 3 female) aged 1 month–15 years with a diagnosis of MD were included in the study. Their demographic and clinical parameters, investigation, and histopathological findings along with the surgical interventions were collected and analyzed. Results: Patients were presented with varied clinical features such as intestinal obstruction (30.76%), perforated MD (15.38%), diverticulitis (15.38%), gastrointestinal bleed (7.69%), patent vitellointestinal duct (7.69%), and incidental (23.07%). All the cases were investigated and underwent treatment. The most common post-operative complication was wound infection in 2 children which were treated conservatively. Conclusion: A pre-operative diagnosis of complicated MD may be challenging because of the overlapping clinical and imaging features of the other acute surgical and inflammatory conditions of the abdomen. Therefore it is necessary to maintain a high incidence of suspicious in the pediatric age group.

Abstract

Biocontrol of the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiffermuller, 1775) with plant extracts

The purpose of this study was to propose alternative solutions based on the use of natural, bio-insecticidal products to fight against the processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (T. pityocampa), considered a defoliator because of the damage it causes to silvicultural. This insect also causes health problems in forests or wooded areas open to the public. To meet this objective, we evaluated the toxicity of six extracts from two plants: Taxus baccata and Populus nigra, collected from the regions of Blida, against first instar larvae of T. pityocampa. The results from these biological tests showed a significant difference between the six extracts. The LD50 (lethal dose) values were calculated by probit analysis using Finney’s table. The LD50 was also low for the two extracts Populus Methanol and Populus Methanol Chloroform (1.4 mg/ml and 3.3 mg/ml, respectively). However, the LD50 was relatively high for the rest of the extracts. In conclusion, the Bio-insecticides of Populus Methanol (PMP) and Populus Methanol Chloroform (PMC) showed to be active and could be integrated into the biological control of the egg parasitoids of T. pityocampa.

Authors: Ramdani K. , Kouidri M. , Ouakid M. L. , Houhamdi M.
Published: July 2019

This work focused on monitoring the reproductive phenology of the chaffinch Fringilla coelebs africana for two successive seasons (2016 and 2017) in the mountains of the El Kala National Park (North East Algeria). We searched for nests in the tree stratum or by direct observation of breeding pairs carrying building materials from mid-March to the end of June and found a total of 34 nests that were measured without affecting the breeding process. The results show that nests were built at an average height of 6.3m from the ground. The laying period was 46 days (Early April to mid-May) and the average laying date was May 2. The mean of clutch size is 3.2 eggs per brood. All the previous traits are similar to those recorded in Europe. The mean hatching success rate was 43.1% and the average breeding success rate was 36.3%. These two values are relatively low compared to those found in European populations.

SATISFACTION WITH E-LEARNING QUALITY EXPRESSES READINESS TO DEVELOP OWN ONLINE COURSE, NOT ONLY JUST TO FURTHER STUDY ONLINE
Authors: Yovkov Lambri , Stoyanova Stanislava
Published: July 2019

E-learning has become an important part of contemporary educational process. Satisfaction with e-learning quality was studied among 133 Bulgarian participants in an online survey, of which more than the half took part is some e-learning courses. The results indicated that the learners for whom e-learning was a part of their education at school or university tended to do more online courses and were more satisfied with e-learning quality, so traditional education seemed to support e-learning. The participants who had been enrolled in some online courses, who had their own Internet site and who were satisfied with e-learning quality were more self-confident in their ability of developing an online course. Satisfaction with e-learning prevailed in the sample, because approximately one out of ten participants stated firmly not being satisfied with e-learning quality and four out of five participants would like to use e-learning as a part of their further education. More male participants were satisfied with e-leaning quality than the female participants in support of some previous findings concerning higher life satisfaction in men than in women. Satisfaction with e-learning could be considered as a domain-specific satisfaction that is a part of overall life satisfaction.
Keywords: gender differences in satisfaction, e-learning quality, satisfaction with e-learning.

Published: July 2019

The presented research was intended to explore the connection between the levels of marriage and family satisfaction with different interpersonal communication styles. The objective here was to find out whether the experienced level of marriage and family satisfaction will differentiate according to partner`s interpersonal relationship style (authoritarian, egoistic, aggressive, suspicious, submissive, dependent, friendly and altruistic styles). A pilot study was conducted with one hundred participants comprised of males (N = 23; 23%) and females (N = 77; 77%) that completed three questionnaires made up of Leary`s (1957) scale that measured Interpersonal Relationships, Family Satisfaction by Adjectives Scale and Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Participants were within the age of 26 to 64 years (M = 43.6; SD = 9). The obtained results pointed out that there were significant differences between examined persons with different interpersonal relationships upon their levels of family and marital satisfaction.
Keywords: intrapersonal relationships, family satisfaction, marital satisfaction.
Studies on polymorphism of enzyme systems in populations of Apis florea F. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from Chandigarh and foothills of Himachal Pradesh, North West India
Authors: Kumar Rajeev , Kaur Jaspreet , Kumar Neelima R
Published: July 2019

Biochemical characterization and enzyme polymorphism are useful tools in establishing intraspecific diversity in insect populations. The populations of Apis florea F. adult workers were selected from six varied topographic and climatic places of north western India including Chandigarh plain and foothills of Himachal Pradesh. These honey bees were analysed for proteome profile by SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Further four enzyme systems namely malate dehydrogenase (MDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), esterase (EST) and hexokinase (HK) were analysed for enzyme polymorphism and isozymic variability in all the populations by running native PAGE and staining with specific substrate stains on the gels. Sixteen protein bands were reported in each population of A. florea using SDS PAGE and no difference was found in banding pattern of proteins of the populations studied. Enzymes stained on native PAGE from whole body homogenates revealed single isozymic form of ADH, two isozymic forms each of EST and MDH and three isozymic forms of HK in all the  populations of A. florea collected from different study regions. There was significant difference in specific activity of enzymes from different regions but no polymorphism was found for the enzymes studied. Small changes in Rf values were found in the isozymes of the enzymes. The results suggest that none of these enzyme systems could be used as marker to differentiate the species at intraspecific level as the enzyme MDH, ADH, EST and HK did not exhibit polymorphism in A. florea from studied regions. In conclusion a single species of A. florea persisted throughout the area studied. However the slight changes in mobilities of individual bands and also changes in specific activity of enzymes reflect the adaptation ability of the bee according to climate variations.
