Background: Majority of the people believed that, only the native breeds have A2 milk than exotic or crossbred animals. There is no enough research on milk protein variants have been carried out in Indian zebu cattle. Present study was conducted to screen more number of crossbred cattles and buffaloes in Tamil Nadu to identify the frequency of A1 and A2 alleles in the population. Methods: The study was conducted on 68 cattle and 172 murrah / graded murrah buffaloes to explore the polymorphic variants of β-casein gene. Genomic DNA was extracted by phenol-chloroform method. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed with allele specific primers to amplify a 244 bp long fragment of beta-casein gene and visualized in 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The population genetic indices were calculated based on the formulas. Result: In the present study revealed higher level of A2A2 genotype frequency (1.00) and fixation of A2 allele in kangayam cattle and murrah / graded murrah buffalo. The observed frequency of A1A1, A1A2 and A2A2 genotypes were 0.38,0.62 and 0.00 for jersey crossbred and 0.29, 0.71 and 0.00 for HF crossbred cattle. The range of Expected homozygosity (0.50 to 1.00), polymorphism information content (0.30 to 0.38), effective number of alleles (1.00 to 2.00) and level of possible variability realization value (44.54% to 100%) reflected existence of medium genetic variability in studied population.

Published: April 2021

Background: Agricultural research chiefly focuses on the ways to increase productivity of staple food crops like wheat and rice, but still there are crops where research focus is meagre like nutritionally important mungbean crop grown by marginal farmers in crop rotation systems. Mungbean is leguminous crop which is high in protein content thus it offers health benefits at cheaper rates. The present work emphasizes on finding genetic diversity in mungbean germplasm on the basis of chemical and molecular analysis for micronutrients variation (iron and zinc). The identified molecular markers having linkage with high iron and zinc concentrations in the seeds can prove helpful in expansion of biofortification programme. Methods: Fifty-one green gram genotypes viz. varieties released from CCS Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), Hisar, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, Indian Institute of Pulse Research (IIPR), Kanpur and some advanced breeding lines were included in the study. Acid digested samples were used for determination of Fe and Zn by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Young seedlings leaves were used for isolation of genomic DNA using 2% CTAB (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide). Result: Total of fifty-one mungbean genotypes were tested using fifty simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. Out of fifty primers screened, 16 primers generated 35 bands. Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in mungbean lines was 36.90 to 107.1 mg/kg and 14.2 to 53.8 mg/kg respectively. The molecular studies based on SSR markers also indicates existence of ample genetic diversity at molecular level.

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar e refletir como os caminhos entre o espaço urbano e rural na comunidade de Gramame, localizada na região sul da capital paraibana, são percorridos e apreendidos pelas crianças ao longo do deslocamento à pé de suas residências até a Escola Viva Olho do Tempo (EVOT) -, instituição em que participam de atividades educacionais no contraturno da escola regular. Neste movimento, destacam-se como os caminhos ganham vida e são transformados pelas ações das crianças nas ruas esburacadas que as levam à EVOT, emergindo o que elas entendem a respeito do bairro onde moram diante das abruptas transformações que assistem em relação ao meio ambiente em urbanização acelerada. Diante disso, revelaram-se memórias e vivências no/ do bairro em seus diversos elementos, os quais foram (re) significados pelas crianças a partir de diálogos e de outras ações as quais se envolveram. Por fim, traça-se um balanço de como os caminhos entre o urbano, no qual as crianças residem, e o rural, em que a EVOT se situa, provocam aprendizagens e (re) criam ações envolvidas em múltiplos sentidos e sensações.
Os pequenos sujeitos da luta pela terra

Published: April 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a prática educativa com as crianças na Ciranda Infantil do pré-assentamento Elizabeth Teixeira do Movimento de Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) a partir da Sociologia da Infância e da Educação Popular. As crianças são o ponto de partida da prática educativa, e da análise realizada, uma vez que são reconhecidas como sujeitos da história, atores no mundo e protagonistas da luta pela terra. A análise partiu da minha participação como educador-pesquisador na Ciranda Infantil do pré-assentamento e dos relatos de atividades do coletivo de extensão Universidade Popular, utilizados como fonte da pesquisa. Os relatos apresentam o protagonismo das crianças como sujeitos no mundo e produtoras de culturas infantis (FERNANDES, 2004; CORSARO, 2011). Como espaço de educação das crianças Sem Terrinhas, a Ciranda Infantil insere-se na trajetória da Educação Popular, coloca o movimento social como espaço e princípio educativo de formação dos sujeitos, garante espaço de encontro do coletivo infantil e reconhece as crianças enquanto pequenos sujeitos da luta pela terra, elementos que contribuem para caracterizá-la como uma experiência de Educação Infantil Popular.

This study aims to: (1) determine the chemical properties of peat soils in 3 types of land cover in 2 physiographies; (2) find out water level fluctuations (WLF) on peat soils covered by agroforestry and horticulture in the physiography of peat dome and backswamp during the rainy season, transitions and drought. This research was conducted in January until December 2018 in Kahayan-Sebangau Peat Hidrological Unit, in the Kalampangan Vilagge. The results showed that differences in peat soil cover conditions at different physiographies affected chemical properties and WLF. The three types of peatland cover on both physiographic types of peatlands have a pH that categories into the very acid (<4.5). The results of this study indicate that nutrients (N, P, Kd, C, Mg, Al, Na and SO4) that are formed in each type of land cover in 2 physiographies indicate that these elements in peatlands are influenced by a layer of peat which obtains input of organic material from the plants above it. Peat fertility depends on the contribution of organic material from plants on it. Peatland cation exchange capacity values for all types are in the very high category (> 40). In addition to the chemical elements of the soil, the peat ground water level is highly volatile following rainfall so that during the peak of the dry season (MK) the WLF can reach 200 cm below the ground surface, and vice versa during the peak of the rainy season (MH) the WLF can inundate all peat soils.

Purpose – This paper intends to highlight how local tourism development is strongly oriented towards policy development based on the combination typical product-territory, in particular extra virgin olive oil, which assigns value to identity, social capital and indigenous cultural heritage. Design – The work supports the idea that the development strategies of typical products should be considered as a potential local development tool. Besides the enhancing the knowledge of product itself and of its ties with local history and traditions, this could also help promoting a quality tourism in the awareness that local products contribute to the implementation of a multiplicity of local initiatives (such as tourist paths, markets, educational initiatives, community events) able to encourage and support new social relations. Metodology – At a methodological level, the paper developed a theoretical contextualization of the subject of study in the gastronomic tourism and compared, using the technique of benchmarking, the experiences of extra virgin olive oil enhancement and promotion in Italy and Spain. These two countries were selected for this study since they are the main producers in the world of olive oil with certified quality. Approach – The interpretative approach has characterized the development of this study; theoretical elaboration and empirical research in fact are processed in parallel. Finding – The research work has demonstrated that the enhancement of extra virgin olive oil is a great potential for the development of new tourism practices such as gastronomic tourism.

Authors: Cerović Zdenko , Milohnić Ines , Grudić Kvasić Sanda
Published: April 2021

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess competitiveness of private accommodation, and to offer the necessary measures which would improve the quality of this segment of tourism that would later provide additional opportunities for the creation of a new market position as well as increasing quality of life and standard of local population. Design and methodology – A study of attitudes and opinions of private accommodation providers was conducted, in conjunction with assessing the current state and possibilities of further development of this sector. The study was carried out from January to June 2012 in Primorsko-goranska County. A questionnaire survey was used for gathering data and a specially structured questionnaire consisting of three parts was formed. For the purposes of this paper, the first two parts of the questionnaire were analysed in detail. A total of 432 questionnaires were found usable for the study. The collected data analysis included descriptive statistics. Approach – The special focus is given to obtaining relevant results by using comparative analysis with the findings of previously conducted researches of private accommodation in Primorskogoranska County. Findings – The research results indicate the changes in the demographic structure of the private accommodation providers, their motives for the provision of accommodation in the households as well as total revenues from the provision of accommodation services in the households. Qualitative shifts in the structure of accommodation capacity are also identified. Specifically, socio-demographic changes include: increasing the share of younger and highly-educated private accommodation providers. Significant increase is noticeable in the number of private accommodation providers whose basic motive of providing services is connected with increasing the basic household income. The increase in total revenue from the provision of accommodation services in the household is also evident. Research results which are related to changes in the type and form of accommodation, suggest a qualitative shift in terms of reducing the number of rooms and suites, and increasing number of holiday homes as a form of quality accommodation in the households. Originality of research – Since there has not been any systematic research conducted on private accommodation, this research opens enough space for further theoretical and applicative improvement. Special emphasis is put on the importance of raising the level of quality and restructuring of private accommodation.

Authors: Janković Sandra , Krivačić Dubravka
Published: April 2021

Purpose – Competitive environment and numerous stakeholders’ pressures are forcing hotels to comply their operations with the principles of sustainable development, especially in the field of environmental responsibility. Therefore, more and more of them incorporate environmental objectives in their business policies and strategies. The fulfilment of the environmental objectives requires the hotel to develop and implement environmentally sustainable business practices, as well as to implement reliable tools to assess environmental impact, of which environmental accounting and reporting are particularly emphasized. The purpose of this paper is to determine the development of hotel environmental accounting practices, based on previous research and literature review. Approach – This paper provides an overview of current research in the field of hotel environmental accounting and reporting, based on established knowledge about hotel environmental responsibility. The research has been done according to the review of articles in academic journals. Conclusions about the requirements for achieving hotel long-term sustainability have been drawn. Findings – Previous studies have shown that environmental accounting and reporting practice in hotel business is weaker when compared to other activities, and that most hotels still insufficiently use the abovementioned instruments of environmental management to reduce their environmental footprint and to improve their relationship with stakeholders. The paper draws conclusions about possible perspectives that environmental accounting has in ensuring hotel sustainability. Originality – The study provides insights into the problem of environmental responsibility of hotels, from the standpoint of environmental accounting and reporting, as tools for assessing hotel impact on the environment and for improving its environmentally sustainable business practice. The ideas for improving hotel environmental efficiency are shaped based on previous findings.

Published: April 2021

The purpose – It is important to emphasize that a research on relationship between tourism, finance and advertisement is very rare. The aim of this study is investigation of causal relationship between these variables. Design – In this paper, the relationship between tourism revenues and variables like tourism index of Istanbul Stock Market (BIST) & tourism advertising durations which have not been used previously in the literature was investigated for Turkey. Methodology – To attain more useful and accurate findings, bootstrap granger causality test of Hacker Hatemi-J (2010) was used which can determine critical values by bootstrap simulation method in order to reduce the possibility of potential non-normal dispersion of errors. Approach – In purpose of contribution to literature, monthly data in the period spanning from Aug 2004 till Dec 2012 and bootstrap causality method were used, thus new findings were tried to be found Findings – While traditional Toda-Yamamoto (1996) causality test has been determined no causality between these three variables, there was observed one-way causality from tourism index to tourism advertisements by the aid of more advanced Hacker Hatemi-J (2010) causality test. As a result of study, one-way causality from tourism indices, which is an important indicator representing all positive and negative performances of businesses in tourism sector, to advertising durations was detected. The originality of this research – In this study, unlike others, variables like tourism index which represents businesses in tourism sector and tourism advertising durations were used. The relationship between tourism index, tourism advertisings and tourism revenue was examined with Hacker Hatemi-J (2010) bootstrap causality test which obtains critical values by bootstrap monte-carlo simulation. By this new test, more reliable and advanced results have been obtained. As a result, tourism index which can be considered as a fundamental performance scale of tourism sector has a vital effect on tourism advertisement.
Logistics in providing private accommodation services in Primorsko-goranska county
Authors: Mrnjavac Edna , Pavia Nadia , Cerović Marta
Published: April 2021

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find a concept for optimizing cost and revenue from providing private accommodation services. The aim is to display how linking all participants who provide private accommodation services into a logistics network will result in better and higher quality service for the guest and in reduced cost for the private accommodation provider. Design – This study researches private accommodation providers in the Primorsko - Goranska County. Primorsko - Goranska County has great potential for providing private accommodation services, but it does not have a well-organized system which could improve the quality of the provided services. Methodology – To prove the study’s thesis, scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, methods of induction and deduction, as well as historic and statistical methods have been employed. Furthermore, it includes data from the Department of Tourism, Office of the Croatian Government in Rijeka, as well as data obtained from the local Association of Private Accommodation HGK – PGŽ (Croatian Chamber of Economy in the Primorsko – Goranska County), data from the statistical yearbook, Institute for tourism as well as data from the Croatian Ministry of Tourism and other scientific and professional literature. Approach – The authors aim to prove that by linking all participants in the process of providing private accommodation into a logistics network would increase the quality of the service and simultaneously optimize the costs. The logistic solution which will be proposed in the “Results” section will provide answers to the suggestion whether private accommodation providers should enter into a system with its business surroundings, i.e. travel agencies, local administration community systems, tourist boards, commercial service associations, state institutions, etc. Findings – This research has reached the conclusion that private accommodation providers do not satisfy the principles of the logistic concept and that other participants in the process of providing private accommodation services (institutions) do not adequately support them. The logistic concept is not the final solution, but a foundation for further research. Originality of the research – This paper represents a valuable contribution to research into private accommodation as a phenomenon in the accommodation structure and accommodation services at the level of the Primorsko – Goranska County as well as the Republic of Croatia as a whole. A logistic concept is provided which could solve the problem of poor organization that many private accommodation owners face and it could also possibly have a practical effect on both private accommodation owners and managers. The paper also enriches the overall amount of scientific literature in the field of logistics, organization and management in tourism.
Modeling Retinal Ganglion Cell Dysfunction in Optic Neuropathies
Authors: Porciatti Vittorio , Chou Tsung-Han
Published: April 2021

As in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies cellular dysfunction often precedes cell death, sensitive assessment of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) function represents a key outcome measure for neuroprotective strategies aimed at targeting distressed but still viable cells. Here we offer a conceptual framework to identify progressive stages of RGC dysfunction leading to cell death in mouse models of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies based on non-invasive pattern electroretinogram (PERG), to differentiate phenotypic and altered RGC response dynamics, to assess susceptibility to stressors and to assess reversible dysfunction.

Published: April 2021

Abstract: This review presents current literature on different nanocomposites coatings and surface finishing for different substrates (such as textiles, concrete, plastics, stones, metals and so on). In particular, this study is focused on smart materials, drug delivery systems, and industrial, antifouling and nano/ultrafiltration membrane coatings. Each of these nanostructured coatings shows interesting properties for different fields of application. In this review, particular attention is paid to the synthesis and the consequent physico-chemical characteristics of each coating and, therefore, to the different parameters that influence the substrate deposition process. Several techniques used in the characterization of these surface finishing coatings are also described. In this review, the sol-gel and polymerization method for preparing stimuli-responsive coatings as smart sensor materials is described; functional polymers and nanoparticles sensitive to pH, temperature, phase, light and biomolecules are also treated. Finally, nanomaterials based on phosphorus, borates, hydroxy carbonates and silicones are used and described as flame retardant coatings; organic/inorganic hybrid sol-gel coatings for industrial applications are illustrated, together with functional nanofiller (carbon nanotubes, metallic oxides, etc.) and polymers employed for nano/ultrafiltration membrane and antifouling coatings. In the last decades, several research institutes and industries have collaborated for the advancement of nanotechnology by optimizing conversion processes of conventional materials into coatings with new functionalities for intelligent, innovative, eco-sustainable and advanced applications.

Authors: Blazy Rafał , Łysień Mariusz , Dudek Jakub
Published: April 2021

The article discusses the role of humanistic values in the contemporary configuration of cities. Today's times put us in a privileged position as we can observe deep and clear changes happening very quickly. Visible changes are reflected not only in society and culture, but also in the space of developing cities, towns, and metropolises. While characterizing contemporary urban trends and ideas, the philosophical trends that contribute to them and the values on which they are based were discussed. Corrections are also shown, which usually start with slight dissonances and initially slight differences in the content of theses, and as a result lead to completely different views on the world. Contemporary determinants of postmodernism, deconstructivism, ecological ideas, sustainable development, social integration and participation, high-tech, digital, and smart city are discussed in detail.
