News organizations’ use of Native Videos on Facebook: Tweaking the journalistic field one algorithm change at a time
Authors: Tandoc Edson C , Maitra Julian
Published: April 2017

This article explores the influence of social media giant Facebook on the journalistic field by examining how news organizations responded to Facebook’s algorithm tweak, announced in June 2014, that prioritized videos directly uploaded to the social media platform. In announcing the tweak, Facebook, an agent external to the journalistic field, did not just change its own internal rules but also imposed them on users, including news organizations traditionally governed by the journalistic field’s own set of rules. Based on large-scale posting activity data collected from 232 Facebook Pages operated by major news organizations in the United States, this study found that most news organizations complied with Facebook’s updated rules on Native Videos by significantly increasing their social video production, opening up the journalistic field to the influence of an agent external to journalism. But while digital-native and broadcast news publishers were more responsive in adapting to the tweak, print brands were slower to respond.
Calm child programme: Parental programme for anxiety in children and young people with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities
Authors: Gobrial Ereny , Raghavan Raghu
Published: April 2017

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (IDs) are more vulnerable to experiencing anxiety disorders. Parental involvement in intervention is crucial for successful management of the interventions in the population of people with ASDs. This article describes the design and evaluation of parenting programme for anxiety disorders in children and young people with ASD and ID. In phase 1 semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore management strategies for anxiety at home and in school settings. A total of 34 participants (14 parents, 20 teachers) participated in the interviews. A Delphi process was conducted with health professionals to develop consensus on appropriate anxiety interventions. In phase 2 the intervention programme was implemented by seven parents who also participated in focus group to evaluate the developed programme. A parental programme, calm child programme (CCP), was developed, implemented and evaluated. The evaluations show significant decrease in children’s anxiety as a result of implementing the programme. This study contributes further evidence to parental involvement in interventions for children and young people with ASD and IDs. The CCP is a useful and cost-effective approach in enabling parents to provide anxiety interventions in a home setting.
A Retrospective Study Assessing Safety and Efficacy of Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation for Knee Chondral Lesions
Authors: Gharaibeh Monther , Szomor Andras , Chen Darren B. , MacDessi Samuel J.
Published: April 2017

Objective:

Bipolar radiofrequency (bRF) ablation is gaining popularity as a treatment modality for unstable knee chondral lesions of the knee. Limited reports of osteonecrosis and chondrolysis have been published; however, there is little data examining the safety of this treatment in larger series. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bRF in the treatment of chondral lesions encountered during knee arthroscopy.

Design:

A retrospective evaluation of adverse outcomes in patients that underwent treatment of chondral lesions using bRF was undertaken. Secondary outcome measures included change in patient reported outcome scores and its correlation to patient demographics and quality of chondral and meniscal lesions using Chondropenia Severity Score.

Results:

Only 2.2% and 2.7% of the patients had a postoperative complication or required a reoperation, respectively. None of the complications were directly related to the use of bRF. A statistically significant difference was observed when comparing pre- and postoperative scores in all normalized categories ( P < 0.0001). No statistically significant correlation was found between change in self-reported scores and Chondropenia Severity Score.

Conclusion:

Bipolar radiofrequency ablation is a safe modality in treatment of chondral lesions.
Spanish fiscal decentralization: A successful (but still unfinished) process
Authors: Lago-Peñas Santiago , Fernández-Leiceaga Xoaquín , Vaquero-García Alberto
Published: April 2017

Both fiscal and political decentralization have been a worldwide trend in recent decades. Spain is probably the best example of this evolution, insofar as it became one of the most decentralized countries in the world in just over three decades, departing for a highly centralized institutional framework. This paper aims to conduct a detailed analysis of this process, focusing on the fiscal aspects. While we show the successful aspects, we also point out its shortcomings and failures. Those lessons from Spain can be very useful for centralized or low decentralized countries involved in designing institutional reforms to become more decentralized. Our second aim is to review the way in which the Spanish sub-central levels of government have responded to the so-called “Great recession”. Again, Spain is a good laboratory for what actually works and what does not in the area of stability and fiscal sustainability in decentralized states, for two reasons. First, it is by far the country which has suffered the brunt of the economic and financial crisis most acutely among those with a federal structure. And second, subsequent different solutions for tackling the fiscal crisis of sub-central governments have been tested.
Creating institutional preconditions for knowledge flows in cross-border regions
Authors: Miörner Johan , Zukauskaite Elena , Trippl Michaela , Moodysson Jerker
Published: April 2017

In recent years, we have witnessed an intensive scholarly discussion about the limitations of traditional inward looking regional innovation strategies. New policy approaches put more emphasis on promoting the external connectedness of regions. However, the institutional preconditions for collaboration across borders have received little attention so far. The aim of this paper is to investigate both conceptually and empirically how policy network organizations can target the institutional underpinnings and challenges of cross-border integration processes and knowledge flows. The empirical part of the paper consists of an analysis of activities performed by four cross-border policy network organizations in the Öresund region (made up of Zealand in Denmark and Scania in Sweden) and how they relate to the creation of institutional preconditions and the removal of institutional barriers. Our findings suggest that cross-border policy network organizations have limited power to change or facilitate the adaptation of formal institutions directly. They mainly rely on mobilizing actors at other territorial levels for improving the formal institutional conditions for knowledge flows. Informal institutions, on the other hand, can be targeted by an array of different tools available to policy network organizations. We conclude that institutional preconditions in cross-border regions are influenced by collective activities of multiple actors on different territorial levels, and that regional actors mainly adapt to the existing institutional framework rather than change it. For innovation policy, this implies that possibilities for institutional change and adaptation need to be considered in regional innovation policy strategies.

A new Lessepsian migrant, Diplogrammus randalli Fricke 1983, is recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. This species is easily distinguished from other Mediterranean callionymid fishes by its ventrolateral fold skin below the lateral line and its preopercular spine shape.
An update on the feeding habits of fish in the Mediterranean Sea (2002-2015)
Authors: KARACHLE P. K. , STERGIOU K. I.
Published: April 2017

In this study we updated the previous compilation of the feeding habits and trophic levels (TROPHs) of Mediterranean fish. In total, 172 publications were retrieved and analysed. Collected data refer to 146 species, with a TROPH value ranging from 2.00 to 4.54. The analysis of TROPH distribution verified the previously proposed classification of species into functional trophic groups. Overall, information on diet composition exits for 203 fish species out of the >700 fishes from the Mediterranean, a fact clearly showing that feeding habits are understudied despite their importance in ecological applications and fisheries management. More than half (60.6%) of these species are classified as omnivores with preference to animal material, 36.5% are carnivores, 1.9% are omnivores with preference to plants, and two (i.e. Siganus luridus and S. rivulatus) are pure herbivores. Finally, towards the direction of filling in information gaps, recommendations for future research are given.

The relationship between education and income inequality (the case of Pakistan)
Authors: Rehman Seema , Rashidi Muhammad Zaki
Published: April 2017

The Income Inequality refers to the unequal distribution of family or individual wealth among the inhabitants of a particular economy. It is often determined by the percentage of income to a percentage of population. Like 50% of Pakistan’s income is controlled by the highest 20% population. It is generally thought of as “unjust," if the major share of a country’s income goes to the rich. Many researches have been done to find the level of Income Inequality in Pakistan, but these researches are not comparable because of differences in techniques, selection of welfare determinant, choice of data (individual or family incomes) and difference in indices for inequality measurement. It is also observed that two studies give contradictory results for the same period. This research tries to fill the gap by measuringthe impact of education on unequal distribution of income in Pakistan. The study uses Gini Coefficient method to measure Income Inequality in Pakistan by taking data available at the websites of PSLM (Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey), HIES (Household Income and Expenditure Survey) and MDG’s (Pakistan Millennium Development Goals).This This paper tries to determine the effects of various components of education on Income Inequality. Progress in education is judged by assessing three indicators: Primary Enrolment Rate, Completion Rate (grades 1-5) and Adult Literacy Rate. In this research, we define Adult Literacy Rate as Tertiary Rate as it includes population of ages 15 years and older. The pooled cross sectionaldata considered in this study is for the periods 2004/05, 2007/08 and 2010/11 The results of regression are as expected, which shows an unambiguously negative association between Primary Enrolment Rate andIncome inequality, however, as concluded by Barro (1996), it is validated that inequality increases with higher education. Therefore, an increase in schooling helps distributes income justifiably.

Empathy gap – what do we know about empathizing with others′ pain?
Authors: Dopierała Aleksandra , Jankowiak-Siuda Kamila , Boski Paweł
Published: April 2017

Empathy of pain as a multi-dimensional process includes sharing and understanding the pain of others in relation to oneself. Subjects in such studies are typically members of western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic societies. In the literature review that we conducted, we observed that little is known about the empathy for pain in people who are not members of societies with these cultural characteristics. We often understand those who are “similar” to us more easily - ones who belong to “our” cultural circle. However, contact with another culture could help prevent such bias. Group characteristics, such as focus on others, hierarchy preference, or cultural differences in self-constructs, can change the activity of brain regions associated with empathy and compassion. Increasing the diversity of the research participants connected with education level, poverty, industrialization, and respect for basic citizen freedoms seem to be necessary to fully understand the mechanisms that influence the development and operation of empathy.

Published: April 2017

Ovarian carcinosarcomas, rare variant of ovarian carcinoma, composed of both carcinomatous and mesenchymal components, solid and/or cystic, fleshy and hemorrhagic, frequently spreading beyond the ovary, are treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy according to the treatment principles of ovarian carcinomas due to the small number of reported cases and lack of randomized studies. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with clinical signs of extremely locally advanced tumor of ovarian origin, infiltrating the lower left quadrant of the abdominal wall with necrosis of the covering skin. Prior biopsy of the left ovary and omentum confirmed poorly differentiated serous adenocarcinoma. Bulky tumor the size of a child’s head, originating from the left ovary and infiltrating into the lower left quadrant abdominal wall was debulked with wide excision of the abdominal wall and creation of wide defect of the lower left part of abdominal wall covered with Dexon mesh. After the recovery, the medial part of the defect with exposed mesh was closed with pedicled tensor fasciae latae fasciomyocutaneous flap, while the lateral part of the defect was covered with split thickness skin graft. Optimal surgical cytoreduction and adjuvant chemotherapy in case of extremely locally advanced ovarian malignant Müllerian tumor provide satisfactory recurrence-free survival period.

Published: April 2017

The associations of parasites in animals are diverse both in taxonomic respect (helminthes, protozoa, viruses, bacteria) and due to pathology caused by them. Strongyloides are often associated with parasitocenosis of animals, forming close symbiotic links with pathogens of infections. Penetrating into the body percutaneous or alimentary, larvae of helminthes inoculate bacteria and viruses, thereby complicating the course of diseases. In order to study the probability of persistence of microorganisms in the body of Strongyloides westeri larvae, larva homogenate was sown to nutrient media. Isolated microorganisms differed in terms of appearance, pigmentation and cultural properties, forming on colonies of S- and R-forms on dense nutrient media. In the broth, turbidity was detected, the formation of a precipitate and a film on its surface. Bacteriological studies of Strongyloides westeri homogenate larvae identified 7 cultures of microorganisms that were identified as representatives of the families: Enterobacteriaceae (genera Enterobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Proteus) Micrococcaeae (genus Streptococcus, Staphylococcus) Bacillaceae (genus Bacillus). In the homogenate samples of larvae of all experimental animals (100%), bacteria of genera were found: Enterobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, 60% identified bacteria of the genus Proteus, 20% of the genus Streptococcus. The conducted studies established the parasitocenotic connections of Stongyloides westeri larvae and the microorganisms of seven different genera belonging to three families. The results of the studies confirm the ability of nematode larvae of the species Strongyloides westeri to be bacterial reservoirs. Helminthes is one of the probable ways of getting microorganisms into the body of a receptive host.

Morphological structure properties of the musculus longissimus dorsi in pigs in the process of autolysis
Authors: Shchebentovska О.М.
Published: April 2017

A multitude of physical and bio-chemical processes take place during autolysis, including ATP break-up (dephosphorylation) that leads to glycogen phosphorylation, intensive accumulation of myofibrillar proteins, concentration of lactic (and phosphorous) acids that affect the state of muscle proteins. This, in turn, affects the technological properties of meat. Histological examination of the longest back muscle of pigs showed a distinct cross-striation of muscle fibers. Histological examination of the longest back muscle of pigs showed a distinct cross-striation of muscle fibers. During autolysis, micro-cracks appeared with minor breaks in sarcolemma, and only some muscle fibers areas had contraction nodes. During autolysis, micro-cracks appeared with minor breaks in sarcolemma, and only some muscle fibers areas had contraction nodes. Raw meat, which was classified as DFD (dark, sticky) according to the quality criteria, had a different structure. Cross-section of its fibers were rounder, fibers were tightly placed to each other, cell structures only slightly damaged. Analysis of the histological and ultrastructural changes in pork of different quality groups shows that the processes of deterioration of muscles in PSE and DFD groups cause significant changes in optical and geometrical properties of the surface and near-surface layers and affect the development of autolytic processes and intensity of destructive changes.

The article contains the results of research the impact of Fasciolosis and mycobacteriosis,the indicators of protein synthesizing function of cows liver. Fasciola and mycobacteria inhibit protein synthesizing function of liver, as indicated by the reduction in their blood level of total protein and albumin fraction. The data indicate hepatotropic of the toxin F. Hepatica and mycobacteria, because namely liver serves as a support of dynamic substances equilibrium of blood plasma. Increasing the level of globulin in the blood serum of cows by association of fasciolosis and mycobacteriosis reflects the intensity of inflammatory processes in animal organism caused by infection of these diseases.Application of closaverm A and catosal to research cows promotes restoration protein synthesizing function of liver. It was found that after application to cows from the first research group for the treatment of closaverm A by 14 and 21 days of level of total protein in the blood serum was gradually increased, but did not reach physiological values. Applying both closaverm A and catosal, was set a slightly higher level of total protein, that at the 28th day of the experiment reached physiological values and therefore amounted to 70.30 ± 1.5 g/l. For the study the level of albumin in the blood of research group, which were used drugs combined, was set its increase already from 7 day of experiment. Significant increase of albumin level in the blood of experimental animals is seeing on the 14th day of the experiment, where appropriate it was within 41.90 ± 1.5 g/l. On the 28th day of the experiment the levels of globulin in the blood of experimental group of animals, which were used closaverm A and catosal, was lower by 11% compared to the control group of animals in specified period of the experiment.Cows treated with closaverm A, value of the coefficient A/T was gradually returned to normal. However, at the 28th day of the experiment has remained at 16% less than the initial values, taken before infestation. Application of closaverm A and catosal to experimental animals contributed to increasing the coefficient of A/T. So at 21st and 28th days of the experiment it was higher than in the control group of cows at 60 and 46%.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: To obtain information on the incidence and nature of sports injuries at a Brazilian university. Method: Data from 396 student amateur athletes (61% male) playing 15 different sports during the 2013 season were retrospectively evaluated. Subjects completed the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System questionnaire at the conclusion of the 2013 sports season. Injuries that resulted in at least one day of time lost were included. Exposure was defined as one student amateur athlete participating in one practice or game and is expressed as an athlete-exposure (A-E). Results: Injury rates were significantly greater in games (13.13 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 10.3-15) than in practices (4.47 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 3.9-5.1). The mechanisms that accounted for the most injuries in games and practices were player contact (52.9%) and non-contact (54.5%), respectively. Ankle ligament sprains were the most common injury (18.2% of all reported injuries). A relatively high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury was also observed (0.16 injuries per 1000 A-Es). Conclusion: Brazilian student amateur athletes are at great risk of sustaining non-contact injuries such as ankle sprains and anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Resumo Descentralização e regionalização são temas estratégicos para reformas de sistemas de saúde. O artigo analisa o complexo processo de produção da regionalização da saúde no Brasil, construído em ato por atores com distintas concepções sobre a relação interfederativa e as regiões de saúde. Identifica que o arcabouço normativo recente do SUS avança no sentido da sua institucionalização e da superação da centralidade inicial na municipalização, fortalecendo a regionalização e o pacto intergovernamental da saúde, mas que evidências apontam a necessidade de promover sua revisão. A partir da análise documental, revisão da literatura e das reflexões dos autores, implicados com a gestão do SUS e a produção de um saber militante, discute-se os desafios para a construção de uma regionalização viva: sua relação com o planejamento e o dimensionamento da rede de serviços, a produção de redes vivas de cuidado e de espaços de gestão compartilhada, os pactos interfederativos e a regulação regional, a capacidade de coordenação do sistema regional e o financiamento, além do impacto da dimensão política e dos ciclos eleitorais. Ao compreender que a regionalização (e o próprio SUS) é uma obra em aberto, indica-se caminhos e possibilidades sobre como manter uma regionalização viva.
Are there differences between comparison methods used to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of digital models?
Authors: Camardella Leonardo Tavares , Breuning Hero , Vilella Oswaldo de Vasconcellos
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Objectives: The accuracy and reliability of plaster models and digital models acquired with two different surface laser scanners were tested by means of three methods: measurement with calipers, digital measurement with proper software and superimposition of the digital models. Methods: Thirty plaster models with permanent dentition that met the inclusion criteria were selected and scanned with two laser scanners (R700 and Xcad). Three examiners measured distances on plaster models with a digital caliper and on digital models using Ortho Analyzer software. The digital models were also compared by means of superimposition of the models using the Geomagic Qualify software. The intra and inter-examiner reliability of the measurements were evaluated using the ICC. Paired t test was used to test the accuracy of the measurements on digital and plaster models. Results: The measurements on plaster and digital models acquired by two different scanners showed high values for the ICC. Although statistically significant differences between the measurements on plaster and digital models have been found, these discrepancies were not considered clinically relevant. The superimposition method with Geomagic Qualify software showed that the two digital models were not significantly different. Conclusions: Digital models created from scanned plaster models using the R700 or Xcad scanners were clinically accurate according to the two methods of comparison used.

Published: April 2017

Abstract This paper presents the development of an effective numerical formulation for the analysis of steel-concrete composite structures considering geometric and materials nonlinear effects. Thus, a methodology based on Refined Plastic Hinge Method (RPHM) was developed and the stiffness parameters were obtained by homogenization of cross-section. The evaluation of structural elements strength is done through the Strain Compatibility Method (SCM). The Newton-Raphson Method with path-following strategies is adopted to solve nonlinear global and local (in cross-section level) equations. The results are compared with experimental and numerical database presents in literature and a good accuracy is observed in composite cross sections, composite columns, and composite portal frames.

Published: April 2017

Background: Filipino Americans have the highest risk for obesity-related type 2 dia­betes and related complications compared with all major Asian American subgroups. Identifying effective interventions to im­prove Filipino health outcomes are needed to reduce this health disparity.

Objective: To assess the acceptability and cultural relevance of the PilAm Go4Health program - a culturally adapted mobile health weight-loss lifestyle intervention in­cluding virtual social networking for Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes.

Design, Setting, Participants: Qualitative semi-structured post-program interviews ex­plored perceptions of 45 Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes in Northern California regarding their perceptions of the accept­ability and cultural relevance of PilAm Go­4Health. Participants’ mean age was 57.6 years. Sixty-seven interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed by four independent coders.

Results: Over half (n=26, 57.8%) of the respondents found that a culturally tailored intervention program enhanced their engagement. All (n=45) of the respon­dents felt that mobile health technology promoted their self-efficacy. A majority of the respondents (n=29, 64.4%) expressed that they progressed from despair to self-efficacy as a result of their participation in the intervention. More than one-fourth of the participants (n=13, 28.8%) discussed that the intervention needed further cultural tailoring.

Conclusions: Overall, PilAm Go4Health — a mobile health weight-loss lifestyle in­tervention — was acceptable and culturally relevant for Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes. Findings may help inform clinician and researchers on effective intervention strategies for diabetes self-management when designing interventions for diverse populations.

Review: Metabolic Syndrome in Black South African Women
Authors: Gradidge Philippe Jean-Luc , Crowther Nigel J.
Published: April 2017

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing in African populations, and is particularly high in Black South African women (42%) vs women in the United Kingdom (23%) and the United States of America (36%). This population group is also known to have the highest prevalence of obesity in the sub-Saharan African region (42%), and consequently, a high risk of non-communicable diseases. In this article, we discuss factors (abdominal subcutane­ous fat, visceral fat, lean mass, adiponectin, leptin, vitamin D, smoking and menopausal status) that have been investigated for their possible association with metabolic syn­drome in African women, and discuss some recommendations for management of the syndrome. In particular, the infrastructural development of HIV/AIDS clinics in South Africa provides an ideal integrated platform to cater to the treatment needs of patients with multiple chronic morbidities.

Big Data may be useful to identify and per­haps ameliorate health disparities. However, over reliance on the power on Big Data can potentially cause harm. When assess­ing health disparities, the use of Big Data should be limited to hypothesis generation.

Pautado pelo interesse em refletir sobre a relação do público com o passado e sobre a construção de narrativas de passado destinadas a grandes públicos, este artigo insere-se no âmbito do que vem sendo designado História Pública. Nele, abordamos a maneira como a população afro-brasileiratem sido representada no Museu Paranaense, instituição de preservação da memória situada na cidade de Curitiba. Como essa entidade tem forte ação educativa junto a escolas da região, o artigo também tem relação constituída com o Ensino de História. Buscamos com ele demonstrar que, tendo sido constituído para forjar uma identidade paranaensefortemente marcada pela valorização da história da imigração de origem europeia, o museu tem silenciado sobre a presença de negros na formação populacional da região, esvanecendo ou limitando a abordagemdas experiências de escravidão e do pós-abolição na história local. Embora essa característica ainda se mantenha no circuito expositivo do museu, sob demandas sociais de grupos afrodescendentes, a instituição vem buscando recompor a narrativa histórica até então estabelecida. Desse percurso de silenciamento, dos desafios para a recomposição das histórias contadas é que trata esse artigo.

[abstFig src='/00290002/07.jpg' width='210' text='The motion detection system' ] Fall accident prevention is one of the most important issues in elderly care settings. To prevent an accident, it is necessary to notify caregivers if the elderly person is getting out of bed. We have previously developed a posture discrimination system based on body motions. Herein, we propose a discrimination method by using machine learning to improve the performance of the system. A purpose of this study is to evaluate the proposed method. Elderly people in a nursing home were chosen as subjects in this study. We analyzed the body motion data during bed rest and bed exit of the subjects using the proposed method. These results suggest that it is effective.

Jambu mete merupakan tanaman menyerbuk silang, yang biasa diperbanyak dengan biji. Salah satu upaya penyediaan tanaman agar sama sifatnya dengan induknya adalah dengan grafting. Oleh karena itu, dalam konservasi plasma nutfah jambu mete, tanaman hasil eksplorasi diperbanyak dengan cara grafting. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat keragaman tanaman hasil grafting 16 aksesi jambu mete asal Sulawesi Tenggara berdasarkan karakter morfologi. Penelitian dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Cikampek, Januari sampai Desember 2015 dengan melakukan observasi langsung terhadap individu tanaman. Batang bawah yang digunakan adalah varietas B02, sedangkan batang atas adalah 16 aksesi hasil eksplorasi dari beberapa daerah di Sulawesi Tenggara. Pengamatan karakteristik morfologi secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif dilakukan terhadap tanaman hasil grafting umur 4 tahun. Tingkat keragaman 16 aksesi jambu mete asal Sulawesi Temggara bervariasi pada karakter bentuk daun, bentuk basal dan ujung daun, bentuk tajuk, arah percabangan serta warna daun muda dan tua. Karakter bentuk tepi daun, bentuk permukaan daun bagian atas dan bawah tidak bervariasi. Tingkat keragaman morfologi daun berkisar 67,18-87,59%, terbagi menjadi dua kelompok yang dipisahkan oleh karakter warna daun muda dan arah percabangan. Karakter tinggi tanaman, lebar tajuk, panjang daun, lebar daun, tebal daun, dan panjang tangkai daun sangat bervariasi. Tingkat keragaman berkisar antara 77,44-95,91% terbagi menjadi dua kelompok besar yang dipisahkan oleh karakter tinggi tanaman, panjang tangkai daun dan lebar tajuk. Karakter tinggi tanaman memisahkan 16 aksesi jambu mete dalam dua kelompok dengan koefisien keragaman 77,45-95,46%.  Pada tahap selanjutnya perlu dilakukan observasi terhadap produksi gelondong, untuk menentukan korelasi antara pembeda pada sifat morfologi jambu mete dengan produksi gelondong.

The nematode Meloidogyne exigua infests Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plants, leading to severe growth reduction in young trees and decreased bean yield. We investigated the responses of coffee plants to this nematode and estimated the genetic gain in progenies derived from the cross between the cultivar Catuaí and the Timor hybrid. We evaluated 85 F4:5 progenies; the cultivars Mundo Novo IAC 379‐19 and Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 were used as susceptible controls, and Paraíso MG H 419‐1 and IPR 100 were used as resistant controls. Progeny responses were evaluated using the gall index (GI), reproduction factor (RF), reproduction factor reduction (RFR), and number of eggs and juveniles (J2) per gram of roots (NEJGR). The cultivars IPR 100 and Paraíso MG H 419‐1 and 75 progenies were resistant to M. exigua. Little or no segregation for resistance was observed within the progenies, indicating potential homozygosity at this locus. The GI, RF, RFR, and NEJGR showed high genotypic correlation. The correlated response of decreased NEJGR when selected indirectly by GI was higher than that by direct selection. The GI scale allowed genetic gain to decrease the nematode population and increase resistance; therefore, it can be used as a selection criterion. Linear regression showed that the NEJGR mean was reduced by a value of 450 per selection cycle, which led to a change in the phenotypic mean and explained 95% of the variation. Thus, successive selection cycles could prevent nematode development in coffee tree roots.

Core Ideas

Vis‐NIR can be used for estimation of soil physical and structural properties.

Structural parameters are better predicted using vis‐NIR than pedotransfer functions.

Vis‐NIR can be a fast and reliable method for predicting soils' transport behavior.

Soil structure is a key soil property affecting a soil's flow and transport behavior. X‐ray computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used to quantify soil structure. However, the availability, cost, time, and skills required for processing are still limiting the number of soils studied. Visible near‐infrared (vis‐NIR) spectroscopy is a rapid analytical technique used successfully to predict various soil properties. In this study, the potential of using vis‐NIR spectroscopy to predict X‐ray CT derived soil structural properties was investigated. In this study, 127 soil samples from six agricultural fields within Denmark with a wide range of textural properties and organic C (OC) contents were studied. Macroporosity (>1.2 mm in diameter) and CTmatrix (the density of the field‐moist soil matrix devoid of large macropores and stones) were determined from X‐ray CT scans of undisturbed soil cores (19 by 20 cm). Both macroporosity and CTmatix are soil structural properties that affect the degree of preferential transport. Bulk soils from the 127 sampling locations were scanned with a vis‐NIR spectrometer (400–2500 nm). Macroporosity and CTmatrix were statistically predicted with partial least squares regression (PLSR) using the vis‐NIR data (vis‐NIR‐PLSR) and multiple linear regression (MLR) based on soil texture and OC. The statistical prediction of macroporosity was poor, with both vis‐NIR‐PLSR and MLR (R2 < 0.45, ratio of performance to deviation [RPD] < 1.4, and ratio of performance to interquartile distance [RPIQ] < 1.8). The CTmatrix was predicted better (R2 > 0.65, RPD > 1.5, and RPIQ > 2.0) combining the methods. The results illustrate the potential applicability of vis‐NIR spectroscopy for rapid assessment/prediction of CTmatrix.
