Flowering Induction in Camellia chrysantha, a Golden Camellia Species, with Paclobutrazol and Urea
Authors: Wei Xiao-Juan , Ma Jinlin , Li Kai-Xiang , Liang Xiao-Jing , Liang Haiying
Published: December 2017

The flowers of Camellia chrysantha, commonly named as golden camellia, are treasured for their unique yellow color and are popularly used for tea. Compared with common camellia flowers that are either red, purple, pink, or white, golden camellia flowers are rare and are in high market demand. Our study was aimed to induce flowering in juvenile C. chrysantha grafted plants with urea and paclobutrazol (PBZ), a growth retardant. Generally, it takes 6–8 years for C. chrysantha seedlings and 5–6 years for grafted plants to set flower buds. With a 4 × 4 factorial design, four dosages of urea (1, 3, 5, or 8 g/plant) and four concentrations of PBZ (50, 150, 350, and 750 ppm) were tested on 4-year-old C. chrysantha grafted plants. Significant interaction between urea and PBZ was observed, and nine of the 16 combinations produced significantly more flower buds than the control, although not all flower buds could open because of abscission. High concentrations of PBZ and high dosages of urea were generally associated with severe defoliation and slow growth of basal stem diameter. When taking bud abscission into account, combinations of 150 ppm PBZ with 1 g urea and 350 ppm PBZ with 3 g urea resulted in significant flowering in juvenile C. chrysantha grafted plants without negative effects on vegetative growth and flower bud size and severe defoliation. This is the first report on flowering induction in a golden camellia species using juvenile plants. Our results suggest that application of optimized PBZ and urea doses can be a potential means for manipulation of early flowering in golden camellia species.
Influence of High Temperature on Photosynthesis, Antioxidative Capacity of Chloroplast, and Carbon Assimilation among Heat-tolerant and Heat-susceptible Genotypes of Nonheading Chinese Cabbage

Published: December 2017

High temperature (HT) is a major environmental stress limiting oversummer production of nonheading Chinese cabbage (NHCC, Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino). In the present study, the effects of HT on photosynthetic capacity, including light reaction and carbon assimilation, were completely investigated in two NHCC, ‘xd’ (heat-tolerant), and ‘sym’ (heat-susceptible). The two genotypes showed significant differences in plant morphology, photosynthetic capacity, and photosynthate metabolism (carboassimilation). HT caused a decrease in photosynthesis, chlorophyll contents, and photochemical activity in NHCC. However, these main photosynthetic-related parameters, including net photosynthetic rate (PN), maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), and total chlorophyll content in ‘xd’, were significantly higher than those of ‘sym’ plants. The antioxidant contents and antioxidative enzyme activities of ascorbic acid-reduced glutathione cycle in the chloroplast of ‘xd’ were significantly higher than those of ‘sym’. Microscopic analyses revealed that HT affected the structure of photosynthetic apparatus and membrane integrity to a different extent, whereas ‘xd’ could maintain a better integrated chloroplast shape and thylakoid. Inhibited light reaction also hampered carbon assimilation, resulting in a decline of carboxylation efficiency and imbalance of carbohydrate metabolism. However, larger declined extents in these data were presented in ‘sym’ (heat-susceptible) than ‘xd’ (heat-tolerant). The heat-tolerant genotype ‘xd’ had a better capacity for self-protection by improved light reaction and carbon assimilation responding to HT stress.
Heat-shock Treatments Increase the Chilling Tolerance of Harvested Asparagus Spears
Authors: Saltveit Mikal E.
Published: December 2017

Holding harvested asparagus spears at non-freezing temperatures below 2.5 °C induces chilling injury (CI), a physiological disorder that reduces quality and shelf life. CI can be quantified by subjective visual parameters, or by objective measurements of the increased rate of ion leakage from excised tissue into an isotonic bathing solution. The rate of ion leakage from apical (2–3 cm), middle (9–10 cm), and basal (15–16 cm) segments excised from 18-cm asparagus spears increased after 7 days of chilling at 2.5 °C. The increase continued and was similar for middle and basal segments after 14 days of chilling, but more pronounced from apical segments. Various heat-shock treatments (i.e., combinations of temperature and duration) decreased the chilling-induced increase in ion leakage from these 1-cm stem segments. Although the chilling tolerance of all spear segments was increased by specific heat-shock treatments, the optimal temperature and duration of exposure varied among the segments; some treatments that were effective in segments from one location were either ineffective or damaging to segments from another location. As the apical half of the whole spear is the predominant culinary portion and contains the most chilling sensitive tissue, heat-shock treatments that would increase the chilling tolerance of the upper half of whole spears were selected for further study. These heat-shock treatments were applied to freshly harvested whole 18-cm asparagus spears that were chilled at 2.5 °C for 14 days. Two treatment combinations (i.e., 45 °C for 4.0 ± 0.6 minutes or 50 °C for 2.9 ± 0.8 minutes) were identified that maintained the highest level of quality and significantly reduced the rate of chilling-induced ion leakage.

La regulación contable internacional: ¿un modelo basado en reglas o en principios?
Authors: Marcotrigiano Zoppi Laura Ana Ana
Published: December 2017

El proceso de globalización ha sido la causa fundamental por la que los distintos procesos a nivel mundial han tenido que evolucionar para adaptarse a un ambiente de internacionalización. La contabilidad, como lenguaje de los negocios,  no ha escapado a esta realidad, sobre todo desde que en la década de 1970 se crea un organismo que se encarga de emitir normas de carácter internacional que vienen a regular la actividad contable alrededor del mundo.  La investigación que se presenta es de carácter documental, y tiene como objetivo reaccionar acerca de las tensiones existentes entre los principios y las reglas en contabilidad, por una parte, para luego abarcar lo concerniente al marco conceptual y los estándares internacionales. La conclusión fundamental es que la emisión de normas internacionales para regular la práctica contable ha traído como consecuencia que se haya abandonado la metodología descriptiva para la emisión de principios contables, en favor de una metodología normativa, que provee tanto de principios como de reglas para que los actores en el proceso contable tengan lineamientos que los guíen en sus juicios profesionales.

Published: December 2017

Understanding the impact of financial liberalization on stock market is important for decision making by investors. The neo-classical economists believe that financial liberalization reduces stock market volatility while the post-Keynesian economists argue that financial liberalization increases volatility of the stock market. This study investigates the effect of financial liberalization on the volatility of an emerging stock market in Africa, with particular focus on the Nigerian stock market. The estimation results reveal that financial liberalization has a significant positive impact on return volatility, thus indicating that it increases stock market volatility. Also, the study finds no evidence of asymmetry in the stock market.
The influence of central bank monetary policy announcements on cryptocurrency return volatility
Authors: Corbet Shaen , McHugh Grace , Meegan Andrew
Published: December 2017

The emergence of Bitcoin in 2009 has received considerable attention surrounding the validity of cryptocurrencies as a viable and, in some jurisdictions, a legal currency alternative. Despite widespread concern that these cryptocurrencies are fostering the environment within which a substantial bubble can occur, it is important to analyze whether these new assets are behaving similarly to major international currencies. This paper investigates the effects of international monetary policy changes on bitcoin returns using a GARCH (1.1) estimation model. The results indicate that monetary policy decisions based on interest rates taken by the Federal Open Market Committee in the United States significantly impact upon bitcoin returns. After controlling for international effects, we find significant evidence of volatility effects driven by United States, European Union, United Kingdom and Japanese quantitative easing announcements. These results show that, despite its nature and ideals, bitcoin seems to be subject to the same economic factors as traditional fiat currencies, and is not entirely unaffected by government policies. This result has implications for investors using bitcoin as a hedging or diversification tool. In addition, we contribute to the existing debate regarding the classification of bitcoin as an asset class, by illustrating that bitcoin volatility exhibits various reactions that bear resemblance to both currency pairs and store-of-value assets.

Published: December 2017

This study presents a case of an unusually located canine T-cell lymphoma. A 5-year-old female dachshund was presented with a tumour located in the buccal mucosa. The tumour was excised, fixed, processed routinely for histopathology and stained. Microscopically, a dense infiltration of round cells with scant cytoplasm, large nuclei and numerous mitotic figures was detected within the mucosa. The tumour was diagnosed as a roundcell tumour. Subsequently, additional tumours developed in the mandibular and hock joint areas. The primary tumour was stained immunohistochemically using an antibody panel (CD3, MHCII, mast cell tryptase, CD18, CD79a). The tumour cells showed variable cytoplasmic expression of CD3, moderate-to-strong cytoplasmic or membranous expression of MHCII, and they were mast cell tryptase, CD18 and CD79a negative. The final diagnosis was T-cell lymphoma. The dog passed away within the next two months. This study revealed, that immunohistochemistry is necessary to diagnose canine oral cavity round cell tumours....

The aim of the study was to measure the frequency of occurrence of Salmonella spp. in raw milk, to identify their serotype, as well as to determine their antibiotic resistance and the presence of Salmonella plasmid virulence (spv) genes. Out of 300 bulk tank milk samples, 5.3% were contaminated with Salmonella spp. All strains isolated belonged to the serovar S enteritidis, as confirmed by serotyping and molecular methods. The presence of spv genes was determined by PCR. Spv genes were present, in different patterns, in all strains tested. SpvA gene was present in all isolates (100%), spvB in 56.25%, spvC in 62.5%, spvD in 75%, and spvR in 56.25%. Antibiotic resistance was evaluated according to the NCCLS recommendations. All isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin (CIP), gentamicin (GE), and chloramphenicol (CH). Thirteen strains were resistant to ampicillin (AMP), 8 to erythromycin (E), 1 to doxycycline (DO), and 1 to tetracycline (TE). Different frequency of occurrence of the spv genes in Salmonella strains isolated from raw milk demonstrates their high adaptability. As many as 87.5% of isolates showed resistance to at least one of the antibiotics tested....

This study was conducted to determine the impact of heat stress on some physiological and endocrine traits in Saanen goats raised under Mediterranean climate conditions. The effects of thermal stress on heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR) and rectal temperature (RT) on plasma total trii-odothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), Cortisol (C), and HSP70 concentrations were evaluated on twenty two Saanen goats of different ages in the second week of April 2013, July 2013, October 2013 and January 2014. Climatic data such as temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%) were recorded from Spring 2013 to Winter 2014. Live body and BCS values were also recorded during this period. The physiological parameters above were measured twice on each experiment day (morning and afternoon) in all seasons. Blood samples were collected in each afternoon of the experiment day to analyze T3, T4 C, and HSP70. All data were analyzed. According to the values of rectal temperature (RT), it was estimated that the goats were under extreme heat stress only in the summer season. The heart rate (HR) values in the winter season for morning and noon periods were found statistically significant (p < 0.05). The average respiratory rate (RR) in the spring season was found significantly lower. On the other hand, the RR for the noon period in the summer was higher than in the fall and winter seasons (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between summer and fall seasons for C values. The highest value (96.62 ng/ml) was obtained in spring, whereas the lowest (60.58 ng/ml) in the fall. T3 levels in the fall and winter were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). They were the highest in the winter and spring, and the lowest in fall. T4 and T4/T3 levels in the winter were found to be statistically higher than in other seasons (p < 0.05). The lowest value for T4 was found in the fall and for T4/T3 in summer. Mean HSP70 value in spring was found to be statistically low (p < 0.05). The changes in THI values in different seasons, particularly between mornings and afternoons, indicated that thermal stress was evident, and that the animals became resistant to it eventually. The fluctuations of the C, T3, T4 and HSP70 values were indicators of the animals’ reaction to thermal stress. The THI values in spring, which were between 16 and 18 THI, may be considered within the ideal comfort zone for goats. It was observed that Saanen goats were able to adapt to seasonal weather changes in the environmental conditions of the region....

Published: December 2017

Precisely determined time of death is one of the most important pieces of information obtained during a post-mortem investigation. There are several traditional methods for determining time of death, the most important of which are evaluation of early post-mortem changes, such as the change in body temperature. The study was aimed at identifying insects collected from the body and establishing the time of death by observing the developmental cycle of the indicator species Calliphora vicina. The material for the main experiment was the carcass of a dog. The length of the developmental cycles of insects depends on ambient conditions, so studies should take as many criteria as possible into account. Succession of arthropods, as well as the species composition and indicator insects of particular stages of decomposition, is very similar in human and animal carcasses. The results obtained were considered with respect to the time that had passed since the death of the animal. Experiments on dog carcasses may in the future contribute to the development of research enabling determination of the time of death of animals, which is a subject of increasing interest in forensic veterinary medicine....

Célunk feltárni, hogy egyrészt milyen társadalmi tényezők befolyásolják a felsőoktatási tanulmányokra, intézmény- és szakválasztásra irányuló motivációkat e speciális régió szakközépiskolásainak körében, egyáltalán milyen mintázatokat tapasztalhatunk a motivációk mögött, másrészt e motivációknak és a szocioökonómiai státusznak milyen befolyásoló szerepe van abban, hogy egy szakközépiskolai diák a pedagógusképzést választotta. Elemezéseinkhez az IESA kutatás adatbázisát használtuk fel (N=2017). A kutatás keretében 2015-ben 13 felsőoktatási intézmény hallgatóit vizsgáltuk meg: ebből három-három Magyarországon az Észak-Alföldi Régióban és Kárpátalján, négy (kihelyezett tagozatokkal) Erdélyben és a Partiumban, egy a Vajdaságban és kettő a Felvidéken. A pedagógusképzést nagyobb arányban választják a kisebb településről származó szakközépiskolások, s elsősorban a határon túli hallgatók körében fontos motivációs tényező az anyanyelven történő tanulás. A pedagógusképzésbe való jelentkezést elsősorban a szakválasztási egyéni motivációk befolyásolják társadalmi és intézményi háttértől függetlenül.
Anti-inflammatory Activity of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Polyphenols: Which Role in the Prevention and Treatment of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases?
Authors: Santangelo Carmela , Varì Rosaria , Scazzocchio Beatrice , De Sancti Patrizia , Giovannini Claudio , D`Archivio Massimo , Masella Roberta
Published: December 2017

Background and Objective:

Altered inflammatory response characterizes chronic immunemediated
inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease,
multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis. Accumulating evidence indicates that
regular consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet,
is associated with a reduced risk of developing chronic degenerative disorders such as cardiovascular
diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer. The beneficial effects on health of EVOO have been attributed,
besides to the monounsaturated fats content, to the presence of phenolic compounds that have antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The purpose of this review is to provide an
overview of the effects of EVOO polyphenols on IMID highlighting the potential mechanisms of action.

Methods:

Scientific papers were found by searching in PubMed up to May 2017 using the following
key words: rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus
erythematosus, and psoriasis also in combination with EVOO, phenolic compounds, oleuropein, oleocantal,
hydroxytyrosol,tyrosol and oleochantal.

Results:

In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that EVOO and its polyphenols can improve diseases
symptoms in IMID, by acting both at local and systemic levels and by modulating several molecular
pathways. Nevertheless, there are not sufficient data to achieve specific nutritional guidelines.

Conclusion:

Further research is needed to evaluate the real contribution of EVOO and its phenolic
compounds in modulating the IMID-associated inflammatory perturbations, in order to develop appropriate
nutritional recommendations.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Cardiovascular Diseases: Benefits for Human Health
Authors: Nocella Cristina , Cammisotto Vittoria , Fianchini Luca , D’Amico Alessandra , Novo Marta , Castellani Valentina , Stefanini Lucia , Violi Francesco , Carnevale Roberto
Published: December 2017

Background and Objective:

The cardioprotective properties of Mediterranean Diet were
demonstrated for the first time from the Seven Country Study. In the last few decades, numerous epidemiological
studies, as well as intervention trial, confirmed this observation, pointing out the close
relationship between the Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular diseases. In this context, extra virgin
olive oil (EVOO), the most representative component of this diet, seems to be relevant in lowering the
incidence of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. From a chemical point
of view, 98-99% of the total weight of EVOO is represented by fatty acids, especially monounsaturated
fatty acids such as oleic acid. Tocopherols, polyphenols and other minor constituents represent the
remaining 1-2%. All these components may potentially contribute to ”health maintenance” with their
beneficial effects by EVOOO.

Methods:

Studies that examined the effect of EVOO supplementation in healthy subjects and in individuals
at cardiovascular risk were included.

Conclusion:

The studies analyzed demonstrated the role of EVOO as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant
and vasodilatory nutrient that may contribute to lower the atherosclerotic burden.

Authors: Putra Yusuf Maulana , Kartowagiran Badrun
Published: December 2017

The aims of this research is to describe the strategies used in integrating soft skills, obstacles encountered in the application of soft skills, and efforts to overcome the obstacles. This research is a descriptive research. The research subjects are 7 welding practice teachers and 60 students. Data were collected by means of survey, interview, observation and documentation. The results show that soft skills have been integrated in welding practice learning by incorporating it into the lesson plan (RPP). By scientific approach and discussion method, the soft skills values are included in the assessment’s rubric. Obstacles in the integration of soft skills are the lack of students concern regarding soft skills, less motivated students, limited time in the integration of soft skills, and different perception among the teachers in applying soft skills. Efforts by the teachers to overcome the obstacles are by warnings, rewards, punishment, and establish a cooperation with other party.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan strategi yang digunakan dalam mengintegrasikan soft skills, hambatan yang dihadapi dalam penerapan soft skills, dan upaya dalam mengatasi hambatan tersebut.

Coping With Global Change: The Need for New Values
Authors: Singer Peter
Published: December 2017

The following text was presented to the 1995 conference of the International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children, and is reprinted here unrevised. Unfortunately the challenges of coping with global change that it discusses have still not been addressed. Some of the facts have changed—for example, China’s per capita greenhouse gas emissions have risen significantly, although they are still far below those of the United States and most other industrialized countries. But the planet is warming faster than scientists predicted twenty years ago, and little has been done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, so the problem of climate change is even more urgent than it seemed to be when the text was first presented. Therefore my arguments about the changes we need to make to the way we live are still relevant, and it is for that reason that I have accepted the editors’ invitation to reprint the article.
Philosophy in Schools: Then and Now
Authors: Laverty Megan J
Published: December 2017

It is twelve years since the article you are about to read was published. During that time, the philosophy in schools movement has expanded and diversified in response to curriculum developments (see Cam 1993, 1997, 1998; Kennedy 2013; Sprod 2001; Wartenberg 2009, 2013; Worley 2011), teaching guides (see Cam 1994, 2006; Freakley, Burgh & MacSporran 2008; Goering, Shudak & Wartenberg 2013; McCall 2009; Wilks 1996), web-based resources, dissertations, empirical research (Daniel & Michel 2000; Leckey 2001; Garcia-Moryon, Rebollo & Colom 2005; Reznitskaya 2005; Russell 2002) and theoretical scholarship (Davey Chesters 2012; Hand & Winstanley 2008; Haynes & Murris 2012; Kennedy 2006; Kohan 2014a, 2014b; Lone 2012; Lone & Israeloff 2012; Shapiro 2012; Sprod 2001). Philosophy and philosophy of education journals regularly publish articles and special issues on pre-college philosophy. There are more opportunities for undergraduate and graduate philosophy students to practice and research philosophy for/with children in schools. The Ontario Philosophy Teachers Association (OPTA) (founded in 1999) reports that in English-speaking Canada there are over 28,000 senior high school students studying philosophy in over 440 schools, and philosophy is now a Teachable Qualification (for an overview see Pinto, McDonough & Boyd 2006). In the USA, the Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO) was founded in 2009 to create a network of pre-college philosophy teachers. With the loss of its founders—Matthew Lipman (1922-2010), Ann Margaret Sharp (1942-2010) and Gareth Matthews (1929-2011)—the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children (IAPC) is developing a digital archive in P4C. My original article was inspired by the design (1999) and pilot (2000) of a new philosophy elective for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). This initiative garnered considerable interest from the P4C community because many believed that (a) the decision to offer a VCE philosophy elective reflected the effectiveness and popularity of P4C in elementary schools, and (b) the new philosophy elective would establish P4C as an essential prerequisite for the study of philosophy in senior secondary school and at university. In my view, enthusiasts overlooked an important difference in the conception of philosophy informing the new philosophy elective: it introduced students to the theoretical or academic discipline of philosophy, whereas P4C conceived of philosophy as a wisdom tradition—otherwise known as the art of living.

Exploring the connections between Philosophy for Children and character education: Some implications for moral education?
Authors: Peterson Andrew , Bentley Brendan
Published: December 2017

In this paper we are interested in the connections between Philosophy for Children and character education. In sketching these connections we suggest some areas where the relationship is potentially fruitful, particularly in light of research which suggests that in practice schools and teachers often adopt and mix different approaches to values education. We outline some implications of drawing connections between the two fields for moral education. The arguments made in this article are done so in the hope of encouraging further critical reflection on the potential relationship between Philosophy for Children and character education.
The 2016 Federation of Australasian Philosophy in Schools Associations (FAPSA) conference report
Authors: Kovach Vanya
Published: December 2017

The theme of the 2016 FAPSA Conference, held in Wellington, New Zealand, was ‘Philosophy throughout the school years’.[1] When we at P4CNZ chose this theme, we were hoping to attract, as presenters and participants, educators working with students from the first to the last years of school. Such a range, we hoped, would demonstrate the broad relevance of philosophical inquiry, and provide wonderful professional development opportunities for all of our P4C colleagues in New Zealand, and for our visitors from Australia and further afield.[1]     The dates of the conference were Monday 18 April and Tuesday 19 April 2016, with the Philosophy in Action Day held on Wednesday 20 April 2016.
Basic operations in reasoning and conceptual exploration
Authors: Cam Philip
Published: December 2017

Conceptualisation and reasoning involve intellectual operations that can and should be taught. This paper identifies pairs of basic operations in reasoning and conceptualisation that are comparable to the basic operations of arithmetic and just as important. Examples are provided to illustrate how these operations may be introduced in the classroom.
Ariadne’s Clew Absence and presence in the facilitation of philosophical conversations
Authors: Worley Peter
Published: December 2017

Drawing on fifteen years of experience as a practitioner of doing philosophy in primary (ages 3-11) and secondary (ages 11-18) school classrooms, I will describe and attempt to justify (appealing to ownership and philosophical dialectic) two broad, over-arching principles, presence and absence: the extent to which a facilitator influences (presence) or deliberately refrains from influencing (absence) philosophical enquiry. While it is expected that the facilitator will and should be present in the discussion, this paper pays special attention to the extent to which a facilitator judges that presence appropriate. I revisit the notion of open and closed questions but, instead of considering the structural aspect (Worley 2015b), I address the psychological dimension of open and closed questioning, what I have called ‘Open Question Mindset’ (OQM) and its opposite ‘Closed Question Mindset’ (CQM). I consider two of the main ways in which teachers commonly demonstrate CQM: ‘Guess-what’s-in-my-head’ questioning and ‘Guess-what’s-in-your-head’ questioning/inferring. OQM, together with the notion of ‘intentional sensitivity’—sensitivity to the student’s intentions rather than only to the surface-meaning or logical implications of their utterances—allows me to suggest ways in which one may practically meet the requirements of presence and absence. One particular aspect of facilitation that I consider, and recommend being mindful of, is paraphrasing or interpreting, especially with regard to hidden premises that might be thought implied by things children say. I recommend consciously refraining from interpreting children’s contributions (absence), and instead working hard to elicit or ‘excavate’ children’s intentions and meanings through careful OQM questioning (presence).
