Authors: Meena H. R. , Meena B. S. , Sankhala Gopal
Published: October 2016

The objective of this study is to understand the dairy farmers’ perception and preparedness for flood disaster, perceived losses due to disaster and their adaptation measures. This study is based on both secondary and primary data collected through a survey of 400 dairy farming households from the Chamoli and Rudraprayag district of Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The results of the study revealed that majority (61.50%) respondents were 36-50 years of age and among them 59 percent were female. The workforce mainly engaged in crop cultivation and animal husbandry, average land holding and livestock per house hold was just 0.46 acres and 5 animals respectively. About 78.6% farmers’ perceived flood as a natural phenomenon, while 21.4% perceived it an unnatural and man-made tragedy. Around (59%) respondents reported that they participated in the village disaster management planning process and 87 percent perceived that state government is prepared for disaster management any time. Very few (15%) respondents received literature about disaster preparedness from developmental agencies. About hundred percent of respondents agreed that flood caused unemployment (50.8%SA and 49.2 %A) in study area whereas, 55 per cent of respondents strongly believed that flood reduced the household income. About 91% of farmers preferred to stored crop residual and forage from forest area to fulfill the fodder demand during the anticipated flood. Majority (89%) of the respondents watching television, listing radio and reading newspaper for flood management practices. Also to mitigate disaster, the government provided various mitigation measures, but the level of satisfaction amongst farmers is low.

Published: October 2016

Field experiment was conducted with thirty hybrids synthesized with the use of eleven parents (six lines and five testers in ‘Line x Tester mating design) along with a check variety ‘MDU 1’ to estimate the magnitude of economic heterosis for exploitation of hybrid vigour of crosses for higher yield and early maturity. Three traits viz., plant height, days to 50 % to maturity to which negative heterosis is desirable for early maturation of crop. Based on experimental results of this investigation four crosses viz., ‘MDU 1/ VBN (Bg) 6, MDU 1/ PU 31, MDU 1/ Mash-114 and MDU 1/ Uttara had exhibited higher positive significant standard heterosis for eight yield and yield attributing traits in positive direction and negative heterosis for two traits viz., days to 50 % flowering and days to maturity. The presence of magnitude of standard heterosis was higher in these crosses for yield and yield attributes. Hence, exploitation of hybrid vigour may be achievable in these crosses which might be helpful in the improvement of this crop.

The effect of cluster thinning on phenolic maturity of Vitis vinifera cv. Xinomavro grapes
Authors: Soufleros Evangelos H. , Stavridou Konstantina , Dagkli Vagia
Published: October 2016

Aims: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of cluster thinning at veraison stage on berry phenolic maturity of the red Hellenic Vitis vinifera grape variety «Xinomavro » and more precisely on the anthocyanin content. It is noted that this variety is relatively poor in anthocyanins, but it has a high level of astringency.

Methods and results: This study was conducted in four experimental vine-plots within a vineyard located in the VQPRD area of Naoussa and more specifically at Giannakoxori Imathia (Northern Greece). Cluster removal was done manually on three vine-plots (the 4th one being the control) leaving one cluster per sprout (shoot). The sampling was started almost a month before grape-harvest and was repeated 2, 3 or 4 times during the ripening, depending on the vine-plot, with an interval of 3 to 7 days between each sampling. A total of 17 berry samples, coming from the vineyard mentioned above, were studied. The total phenols were assessed by UV spectrophotometry and the concentration of phenolic acids and catechin of seeds was determined by UV-HPLC.

Conclusions and significance of the study: The concentration of total anthocyanins during grape ripening in vine-plots that had been thinned out was increased compared to the control vine-plot. This increase varied from 52 to 89% for the study plots and 10% for the control plot. The skin tannin content was increased by 56.2 to 114% for plots that had been thinned out and only by 17.7% for the control plot. In contrary, the seed tannin content decreased during ripening by 27.2 to 50.6% compared to 23.5% for the control plot. As for phenolic acids and catechin in seeds, we conclude that catechin was the most abundant compound. Consequently, cluster thinning appeared to have contributed to the increase of the total phenolic content of the specific « Xinomavro » Greek variety and more precisely of the anthocyanins.
Changes of free and glycosidically bound monoterpenes and aromatic alcohols in Moscatuel and Ruby Seedless table grapes during development
Authors: Fenoll José , Martínez María-Carmen , Hellín Pilar , Flores Pilar
Published: October 2016

Aims: The evolution of free and bound aromatic compounds (monoterpenes and aromatic alcohols) during ripening was determined in two cultivars of Vitis vinifera : Moscatuel (muscat aroma) and Ruby Seedless (neutral aroma). The aim was to identify the aromatic compounds in both varieties and to understand the differences in their aromatic characteristics.

Methods and results: The aromatic compounds were measured at six different maturity stages by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The most abundant compounds detected in Moscatuel grapes were linalool, geraniol, citronellol, nerol, citral, α-terpineol, linalool oxide I, linalool oxide II, rose oxides, benzyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol. In general, the concentration of the main terpene compounds increased during grape development. The most abundant compounds detected in Ruby Seedless grapes were benzyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol at concentrations higher than those observed in Moscatuel. The concentrations of the bound compounds were higher than those of the free forms, except for geraniol, nerol and citronellol in Ruby Seedless. Based on the Odour Activity Values (OAVs), linalool was the most odour-active odorant at the end of maturation in Moscatuel grapes. Other monoterpenes potentially contributing to the muscat aroma (OAV > 1) of this variety were rose oxide, citral and geraniol. In Ruby Seedless none of the studied compounds showed OAV > 1.

Conclusion: Several differences between Moscatuel and Ruby Seedless were observed in the monoterpene and alcohol profile and their contribution to the aroma.

Significance and impact of the study: This study characterizes and compares two non-previously described varieties of table grape, very appreciated by consumers, with different aromatic characteristics.
Copigmentation and color of Brazilian Merlot wines. I. Influence of skin contact time
Authors: De Oliveira Fogaça Aline , Daudt Carlos Eugenio
Published: October 2016

Aim: To evaluate the impact of maceration time on color, polyphenols and copigmentation of Merlot wines in order to better understand the differences between two important Brazilian viticultural regions, Campanha Gaúcha and Serra Gaúcha, which have not been extensively studied.

Methods and results: Merlot grapes (red Vitis vinifera variety) from four vineyards located in the Campanha Gaúcha (n = 2) and Serra Gaúcha (n = 2) regions were harvested, crushed and fermented at the same temperature, with three different maceration times (4, 8 and 15 days). Wines from the 2009 and 2010 harvest were analyzed by spectrometry for phenolic composition and color. The results showed that the origin of the grapes had a higher influence on phenolic composition and color than the winemaking process treatments (i. e., maceration time). Maceration time did not affect copigmentation phenomena, and polymeric anthocyanins had the greatest correlation with color intensity.

Conclusion: The maceration time had different effects according to the wines studied. However, more studies will be necessary to identify the characteristics of the grapes and to understand the differences between these two viticultural regions.

Significance and impact of the study: One of the regions studied, Campanha Gaúcha, is a new Brazilian viticultural region. There are only few studies on this wine region. So, the results presented here will provide some guidance for the selection of the most appropriate oenological practices for this region.
Variability in Optimum Nitrogen Rates for Maize
Authors: Dhital Sulochana , Raun W. R.
Published: October 2016

Maize (Zea maysL.) grain yield levels and the response to fertilizer nitrogen (N) are expected to change from year to year and from location to location. Because yield level and N response have been documented to be independent and are known to influence N demand, optimum N rates at the same location vary each year due to unpredictable changes in the environment. The objective of this study was to further analyze maize grain yield levels and optimum fertilizer N rates from published data in maize growing regions of the United States. Optimum N rates were determined by calculating the difference in N uptake between the highest‐yielding plot and the check plot (no N applied [0‐N]). The difference in grain N uptake between the fertilized plot and the 0‐N check plot was then divided by 0.33 (the assumed average N use efficiency) to estimate optimum N rate by site and year. For the 213 site‐years of data included in this study, grain yields in both the high N rate and check (0‐N) plots were highly variable. Optimum N rates fluctuated from year to year at all locations. Optimum N rates were not highly correlated with the high–N rate yield (R2= 0.20) or 0‐N check yield (R2= 0.16). The wide range in optimum N rates observed in all maize experiments suggests the need to adjust N rates by year and location. A potential solution is to use midseason sensor‐based technologies that can accurately predict yield potential and simultaneously encumber N responsiveness known to be independent of yield.

Core Ideas

Optimum fertilizer nitrogen rates for maize are highly variable.

Demand for fertilizer nitrogen changes year to year.

Yield level and nitrogen responsiveness are independent.

Nitrogen use efficiency can improve by changing N rates every year.

In‐season sensor based N management can optimize fertilizer nitrogen rates.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term results of meniscal repair during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.Materials and methods: 45 patients who underwent meniscal repair during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction between 2007 and 2013 by the same surgeon were included in the study. In total, fifty meniscus were repaired (26 medial and 24 lateral). Procedures included use of one up to four Fast-Fix implants (Smith Nephew). In five cases both medial and lateral meniscus were repaired. Cincinnati, IKDC and Lysholm scales were used for long-term outcome analysis.Results: 19 male and 26 female patients were included in the study aging from 15 to 59 years (mean age 33,2±1,5). Median time from injury to surgical procedure was zero months (ranging zero to one). Mean time from surgery to scale analysis was 55,9±3 months (ranged 20-102). Median Cincinnati score was 97 (ranged 90-100), with excellent results in 93% of cases (43 patients) and good results in 7% (3 patients). Median IKDC score was 90,8 (ranged 86,2-95,4), with excellent outcomes in 51% of cases (23 patients), good in 33% (15 patients) and satisfactory in 16% (7 patients). Median Lysholm score was 95 (ranged 90-100), with excellent outcomes in 76% of cases (34 patients) and good in 24% (11 patients). Authors identified no statistical differences when comparing survey results in age, sex and time from trauma to surgery.Conclusions: Results of the present study match the data from orthopedic literature that prove meniscal repair as a safe and efficient procedure with good and excellent outcomes. All-inside meniscal repair can be used irrespectively of patients' age and is efficient even in case of delayed procedures.
EVALUATION OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF HYLAN GF-20 IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN REAL LIFE PRACTICE: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Authors: Kuropatkin G. V.
Published: October 2016

Combined conservative treatment of osteoarthritis includes intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid. The paper presents the interim results of a prospective observational multicenter non-comparative study conducted in accordance with routine clinical practice to assess the safety and effectiveness of Hylan GF-20 in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The primary objective of the study is to assess walking and rest pain severity by WOMAC VA3.1 scale after 26 weeks and 52 weeks compared to the baseline. To date, 42 patients completed the study (71.43% women, 28.57% men), patients mean age is 59.79 years. After intraarticular injection of Hylan GF-20 patients were examined after 3, 6 and 12 months. After 3 months a positive clinical response was observed: pain severity decreased by 51.31% (p0,001) on WOMAC A, joint stiffness decreased by 51.02% (p0,001) on WOMAC B, daily life difficulties decreased by 42.03% (p0,001) on WOMAC C. The same tendency was observed in the following periods. By week 52 pain severity reduced by 53.25% (p0,001) on WOMAC A, joint stiffness by 41.63% (p0,001) on WOMAC B, daily life difficulties -by 47.55% (p0.001) on WOMAC C. Level of clinical response didn't correlate with the osteoarthritis stage. Therapy resulted in improvement of life quality of patients with knee osteoarthritis by 36% (p0,001) according to the questionnaire EQ-5D. The general patients status according to physicians improved by 33.96% (p0,001) on VAS, and by 45.91% (p0,001) according to patients response on VAS. By week 52 of follow-up 11,90% of patients demonstrated a decrease in required concomitant therapy of osteoarthritis. Given the chronic nature of the osteoarthritis it's the most important that the therapeutic effect of Hylan GF-20 maintains until week 52. The above results confirm the efficiency of intraar-ticular injection of hyaluronic acid in patients with knee osteoarthritis especially in early disease stage.

Through mass contact programme at doorstep, the information on land holding, agriculture and
occupational practices of 1198 livestock farmers of coastal area of South Gujarat, and reproductive
and productive parameters of 5060 breedable dairy animals possessed by them were obtained.
The percentages of landless, small, medium and large landholder dairy farmers in the area were
14.94, 71.62, 12.77 and 0.67, respectively. The irrigation facility for agriculture and the primary
occupation of agriculture with animal keeping was up to 85 per cent. The average age at first calving
was 28.40±3.12 and 42.05±4.23 months in crossbred cattle and buffaloes, respectively (pis less than 0.01).
The mean calving interval (13.64±2.46 vs 18.47±2.86 months) and postpartum estrus interval
(51.66±17.08 vs 92.68±15.93 days) were significantly shorter in crossbred cows than in buffaloes.
Among 3232 and 1828 crossbred cattle and buffaloes surveyed, 25.34 and 27.35 per cent had
different reproductive problems. The problem of silent heat was more in buffaloes including heifers
than the crossbred cows. The percentages of anoestrus and repeat breeding were comparatively
higher in buffaloes including heifers as compared to crossbred cows. The average milk yield/day
was 10.28±3.49 and 6.93±4.63 liters in crossbred cows and buffaloes, respectively (pis less than 0.05). The
mean lactation length was more or less similar in both the classes of animals. Breeding (>99%
through AI) and feeding practices of green (15-16 kg), dry (6-7 kg) fodder and concentrate (1-2
kg) were similar in cattle and buffaloes. Supplementation of mineral mixture was slightly higher in
crossbred cows as compared to buffaloes, and concerned farmers had a greater tendency to
provide drinking water ad lib or 3 times a day. The higher percentage of both cows and buffaloes
were kept in close animal houses. The findings indicated the awareness level and facilities of farmers
of coastal areas in dairy husbandry practices and thereby productive-reproductive problems in their
animals, which need to be improved by scientific interventions.

Published: October 2016

The effect of dietary lead exposure on immunomodulation of broilers and possible ameliorative effect
of Andrographis paniculata were studied. One hundred broiler chicks were randomly divided into
five equal groups of 20 each. Group T0 served as control while group T1, T2, T3 and T4 birds were
provided commercial diet with lead acetate at the dose of 300 ppm in feed. Powder of dry leaves
of Andrographis paniculata was mixed in the feed of group T2, T3 and T4 chicks at the dose of
2 gm, 3 gm and 4 gm/kg of feed respectively and fed for 4 weeks. Significant decrease in HI titres
in T1 group and significant increase in T4 group suggested increased haemagglutination titre (HI)
response. The maximum skin thickness and diameter on 24th and 48th hours was observed in control
group birds (T0) and was comparable with T4 group. Microscopically spleen, thymus and bursa
of fabricius revealed increase in lymphoid population in birds fed lead acetate along with
Andrographis paniculata compared to T1 group. We concluded that Andrographis paniculata has
immunomodulatory effect during lead toxicity in broilers.

Conceptualization and theorization of Islamic education has been less attention to aspects of his involvement in the process of social transformation. In addition, Islamic Education also seems to have developed to the maximum language of language of critique and possibility. Literature related to Islamic education from the past until now tend to be dominated by a normative approach, with little practical in many aspects and ignore the discursive historical-empirical level. Until now, even the idea of the concept of Islamic education promoted by thinkers of contemporary Islamic education has not touched the real issues related to humanitarian issues. There is no attempt to draw normative concepts, ideal and abstract, to the empirical-sociological level. When the concept of Islamic education is faced with the problems of empirical-sociological and just wrestle on normative issues, the Islamic education could be stuck in the ideology of positivism that tend to deny the importance of criticism of social reality. Therefore, Islamic education needs to balance-normative aspects of religious and historical.

Published: October 2016

Since the downfall of Soeharto’s New Order regime in 1999, Indonesia political orientation drastically changed. President Baharuddin Jusuf (BJ) Habibie enacted number of laws that changed the face of Indonesian politics from authoritarianism to democracy. One of the laws was Law No. 22 of 1999 on Regional government, which was amended by Law No. 32 of 2004 on Regional Government. The law brought Indonesia from centralism politics to fully decentralism. All individuals and groups, mainly marginalized Muslim groups during the New Order regime, have taken the best of the shift to force the implementation of Syaria law in Indonesia by advocating the enactment of numbers of Syariat inspired regional regulations (Perda berbasis Syariat) in tens of provinces. The Perda soon became controversial and triggered debate among Muslims themselves. Even some worried if the Perda would change Indonesian constitution and ideology from secular to Islamic one. Using qualitative approach and analyzing Indonesian political preference at national-wide, this article argues that the Perda would not affect Indonesian constitution and ideology. Even large number of Indonesians likely accept the development of the Perda as part of development of democracy in Indonesia.
