Authors: Alagöz Ergüden Sibel , Altun Ayhan , Ergüden Deniz
Published: April 2018

Length weight relationship (LWR) studies have an
important role in estimating population biomass, determining growth rate and
stock status of fishes. In this study a total
of 133 scaldback, Arnoglossus kessleri Schmidt,
1915 were caught in IskenderunBay between September
2014 and May 2015 using a commercial bottom trawler. As a result, the estimates
for b parameter of the LWR ranged between and 2.97, 2.68 and 2.74 for males,
females and both sexes, respectively. Fulton’s condition (KF)
factor values also revealed significant variations (p<0.01) for female
(1.089) and male (1.100) specimens of A.
kessleri. The 11.9 cm
long male individual found in this study was the longest individual recorded
for the Mediterranean Sea. No information
currently exists on the length weight relationship of A. kessleri in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
Therefore, this paper is an important contribution to the science and fisheries
management applications for this species.

Published: April 2018

En esta investigación, se analizó la valoración que realiza el consumidor del noroeste de México hacia las innovaciones del yogur. Se seleccionó este producto por ser uno de los de mayor disponibilidad en el mercado, conocido por una gran proporción de consumidores y por presentar un importante número de innovaciones. Se utilizó el enfoque cuantitativo, con un método exploratorio, a través de un diseño transversal. Se emplearon dos herramientas; la primera fueron recorridos (24), realizados en diferentes establecimientos comerciales y la segunda fueron encuestas (400), aplicadas a consumidores mayores de 18 años. Se hicieron análisis descriptivos (media y moda), así como bivariantes (prueba de anova y test de chi-cuadrado) y multivariados (análisis factorial y de conglomerado). Los resultados muestran que se comercializa en mayor medida el yogur tradicional, mientras que los funcionales tienen un menor grado de penetración en el mercado. Se trata principalmente de productos con innovaciones incrementales. Se encontró que existen dos grupos de consumidores: el primero se orienta hacia innovaciones en el diseño y la forma de consumo, mientras que el segundo se enfoca en innovaciones de sabor y seguridad. En el primero, existe una mayor proporción de consumidores de 33 a 47 años de edad, en tanto que los mayores de 47 años se orientan más hacia la seguridad. También se encontró que el nivel de estudios influye en la valoración de atributos del yogur.ABSTRACTIn this research, it was analyzed the valuation made by the consumer of northwestern of Mexico towards yogurt innovations.

Compositionality of emotions v1
Authors: Cavicchio Federica
Published: April 2018

Emotions are signaled by complex arrays of face and body actions. The main point of contention in contemporary treatments is whether these arrays are discrete, holistic constellations reflecting emotion categories, or whether they are compositional -- comprised of smaller components, each of which contributes some aspect of emotion to the complex whole. We address this question by investigating spontaneous face and body displays of athletes, and place it in the wider context of human communicative signals and, in particular, of language. In an experiment, participants interpreted a range of emotions and their strengths in pictures of athletes who had just won or lost a competition. By matching participants’ judgements with minutely coded features of face and body, we find evidence for compositionality. The primary bifurcation in this competitive physical context is between Dominance and Submissiveness. The distribution of participants’ responses indicates that other features of face and body cluster to reflect more particular emotional components related, for example, to Positive valence or Goal Obstruction. Therefore, the interaction of the broader and more particular components gives rise to more complex emotional states, such as Happy or Angry in the case of Dominance, and Ashamed or Sad in the case of Submissiveness.
Counter-Governance: Citizen Participation Beyond Collaboration
Authors: Dean Rikki John
Published: April 2018

The theory and practice of urban governance in recent years has undergone both a collaborative and participatory turn. The strong connection between collaboration and participation has meant that citizen participation in urban governance has been conceived in a very particular way: as varying levels of partnership between state actors and citizens. This over-focus on collaboration has led to: 1) a dearth of proposals in theory and practice for citizens to engage oppositionally with institutions; 2) the miscasting of agonistic opportunities for participation as forms of collaboration; 3) an inability to recognise the irruption of agonistic practices into participatory procedures. This article attempts to expand the conception of participatory urban governance by adapting Rosanvallon’s (2008) three democratic counter-powers—prevention, oversight and judgement—to consider options for institutionalising agonistic participatory practices. It argues that these counter-governance processes would more fully realise the inclusion agenda that underpins the participatory governance project.
Organising for Co-Production: Local Interaction Platforms for Urban Sustainability
Authors: Perry Beth , Patel Zarina , Bretzer Ylva Norén , Polk Merritt
Published: April 2018

Urban sustainability is a wicked issue unsuited to management through traditional decision-making structures. Co-productive arrangements, spaces and processes are inscribed in new organisational forms to bridge between diverse forms of knowledge and expertise. This article suggests that local interaction platforms (LIPs) are innovative responses to these challenges, developed in two African and two European cities between 2010 and 2014. Through elaborating the design and practice of the LIPs, the article concludes that the value of this approach lies in its context-sensitivity and iterative flexibility to articulate between internationally shared challenges and distinctive local practices. Six necessary conditions for the evolution of LIPs are presented: anchorage, co-constitution, context-sensitivity, alignment, connection and shared functions. In the context of increased uncertainty, complexity and the demand for transdisciplinary knowledge production, the platform concept has wider relevance in surfacing the challenges and possibilities for more adaptive urban governance.
Coproducing Urban Governance
Authors: Richardson Liz , Durose Catherine , Perry Beth
Published: April 2018

There are many critiques of existing forms of urban governance as not fit for purpose. However, what alternatives might look like is equally contested. Coproduction is proposed as a response to address complex wicked issues. Achieving coproduction is a highly complex and daunting task. Bottom up approaches to the initiation of coproduced governance are seen as fruitful, including exemplification of utopian alternatives though local practices. New ways of seeing the role of conflict in participation are needed, including ways to institutionalise agonistic participatory practices. Coproduction in governance drives demands for forms of knowledge production that are themselves coproductive. New urban governing spaces need to be coproduced through participative transformation requiring experimentation and innovation in re-designing urban knowledge architectures. Future research in this field is proposed which is nuanced, grounded in explicit weightings of different democratic values, and which mediates between recognition of contingency and the ability to undertake comparative analysis.

Published: April 2018

The paper describes the methodology and experience of conducting independent evaluations of the development of general professional competencies in students (future teachers) and their compliance with the requirements of the professional standard for teachers as well as the federal state educational standards for general education. The system of independent evaluation of professional competencies in students of teacher training programmes was tested twice within the project of modernization of teacher education with the assistance of participating universities. The evaluation involved more than 6300 students in 51 universities of the Russian Federation. It is argued that this evaluation helps to create competency-based individual and group profiles for future teachers and to assess how effective the university is in training students in accordance with the requirements of the professional standard for teachers.

Psychological Research as a Resource of Educational Practice Development: Scientific Projects of the Psychological Institute
Authors: Rubtsov V.V. , Shookova G.V.
Published: April 2018

The article deals with the issues of introducing outcomes of fundamental psychological studies into the practice of Russian education. The example of the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education, one of the oldest Russian scientific centres that studies cognitive, personal and psychophysiological spheres in children and adults, illustrates the main principle of integration of science and educational practice: fundamental substantiation of applied products created for the educational system, with the conceptual level of psychological knowledge functioning as the basis for modelling highly effective psychological and pedagogical instruments. It is shown that although practice makes high demand for scientific foundation, the most urgent problem is the absence of an effective mechanism of integration of scientifically based psychological tools that can be used to optimize the education process. Nevertheless, the need for scientifically grounded means of reacting to the challenges of our time is reflected in contemporary studies carried out in Russian schools, which proves the high potential that the fundamental research has for the development of the Russian educational system.

The paper presents the results of the first stage of a research project “Effects of personality traits on behavior in virtual reality games in adolescence and young adulthood”, carried out by the MSUPE Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Modern Childhood in 2015—2017. Research methods include the Q-Sort technique by W. Stephenson, the Butler-Haigh "Real and Ideal Test", and the Role Conflict Questionnaire de- veloped by O.V. Rubtsova. The sample includes 103 active players of MOBA Dota-2 aged 14—25. The paper discusses the outcomes of the study and the revealed statistical corre- lations which prove the hypothesis that individuals’ interest in virtual play activity and its specifics in adolescence and young adulthood are largely determined by personality features of the players and particularly by the presence or absence of role con-flicts in the structure of their identities.

İstihdam artışı ülkelerin temel
makroekonomik politikaları arasında yer almaktadır. Günümüzde kadınların üretim
sürecine dahil edilmesi ve istihdam alanlarının yaratılması, bu amaca ulaşmak
için önem arz etmektedir. Türkiye için 1988-2015 dönemini kapsayan bu çalışmada
kadın istihdamı ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiler simetrik ve asimetrik
nedensellik testleri ile araştırılmıştır. Toda-Yamamoto (1995) nedensellik
testinin sonuçlarına göre kadın istihdamından toplam ve hizmetler sektöründe
yaratılan gayrisafi yurtiçi hasılaya doğru pozitif, tek yönlü ve istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı bir nedensellik ilişkisi söz konusudur. Hatemi-J (2012)
asimetrik nedensellik testinin sonuçları kadın istihdamının negatif
şoklarından, toplam ve hizmetler sektöründe yaratılan gayrisafi yurtiçi
hasılanın negatif şoklarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedenselliğin olduğunu
göstermektedir. Ayrıca, hem simetrik hem de asimetrik nedensellik testinin
sonuçlarına göre kadın istihdamıyla sanayi ve tarım sektörü arasında herhangi
bir nedensellik ilişkisi yoktur. Her iki nedensellik testinin sonucu da
birbirini destekler niteliktedir. Sonuç olarak, kadın istihdamının tarım ve
sanayi sektörü üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır. Kadın istihdamı
ekonomik büyümeyi hizmet sektöründe yaratılan gayrisafi yurtiçi hasılaya

Authors: Agrawal Avyact , Awasthi Sukarn , Ghanghoriya Pawan , Singh Shivraj
Published: April 2018

Background: About 43% of the under-five child mortality is contributed by neonatal death. According to National Neonatal Perinatal Database (NNPD) in inborn births, Klebsiella pneumonia was the most commonly associated pathogen, followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Hence to know the prevalence and profile of bacterial infection in the inborn unit of an SNCU in Central India,this study was done.Methods: This is a cross sectional study done in the Inborn Unit of SNCU, Department of Paediatrics, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College and Hospital, Jabalpur (M.P.), INDIA done between 1st March 2015 to 31st August 2016 where the blood sample and data collection of the suspected patients was done. Samples were then sent for culture and sensitivity testing. All the details then entered in Microsoft Excel Sheet and data was analysed using SPSS v 20.Results: The prevalence of bacteriologically positive sepsis was found to be 5.06% (in 43patients out of 850 examined cases). It was more prevalent among males that is in 24 among total 43 culture positives (55.8%), low birth weight were 37 (86% of culture positive patients)and preterm were 35(81.4% of culture positive patients). The most common pathogen associated was found to be Klebsiella pneumonia which was detected in 16 patients (37.2% of all bacteriologically positive patients) followed by E. coli and Pseudomonas, each in 7 patients (16.28%).Conclusions: Though we are on the track of minimising morbidities still we have a high prevalence of neonatal sepsis in inborn unit so sepsis related morbidities can be prevented if timely interventions are done.
Ranolazine: A true pluripotent cardiovascular drug or jack of all trades, master of none?
Authors: Mezincescu Alice , Karthikeyan V. J. , Nadar Sunil K.
Published: April 2018

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although the majority of patients with CVD are treated with interventional procedures, a substantial number require medical therapy in terms of both prognosis and symptomatic relief. However, commonly used agents such as β-blockers and calcium channel blockers reduce blood pressure in patients whose resting pressures are often already low. Ranolazine is a promising agent that does not have significant effects on blood pressure or heart rate. Use of this drug has been documented in various cardiovascular conditions, including ischaemic heart disease, heart failure and arrhythmias. This review article aimed to examine current evidence on the use of ranolazine in various cardiovascular conditions in order to determine whether it is a true pluripotent cardiovascular agent or, on the other hand, a “jack of all trades, master of none.”
Effects of Peer-Facilitated, Video-Based and Combined Peer-and-Video Education on Anxiety Among Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography: Randomised controlled trial
Authors: Habibzadeh Hosein , Milan Zahra D. , Radfar Moloud , Cund Audrey
Published: April 2018

Objectives: Coronary angiography can be stressful for patients and anxiety-caused physiological responses during the procedure increase the risk of dysrhythmia, coronary artery spasms and rupture. This study therefore aimed to investigate the effects of peer, video and combined peer-and-video training on anxiety among patients undergoing coronary angiography. Methods: This single-blinded randomised controlled clinical trial was conducted at two large educational hospitals in Iran between April and July 2016. A total of 120 adult patients undergoing coronary angiography were recruited. Using a block randomisation method, participants were assigned to one of four groups, with those in the control group receiving no training and those in the three intervention groups receiving either peer-facilitated training, video-based training or a combination of both. A Persian-language validated version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure pre- and post-intervention anxiety. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in mean pre-intervention anxiety scores between the four groups (F = 0.31; P = 0.81). In contrast, there was a significant reduction in post-intervention anxiety among all three intervention groups compared to the control group (F = 27.71; P <0.01); however, there was no significant difference in anxiety level in terms of the type of intervention used. Conclusion: Peer, video and combined peer-and-video education were equally effective in reducing angiography-related patient anxiety. Such techniques are recommended to reduce anxiety amongst patients undergoing coronary angiography in hospitals in Iran.
Efficacy of OK-432 Therapy for the Incisionless Treatment of Head and Neck Cystic Masses: Case series
Authors: Hasan Hesham Y. A. , Rizwan Muhammad A.
Published: April 2018

Head and neck masses can present in different pathologies that usually vary according to the age of the patient. We report five cases of benign head or neck masses occurring among patients of different ages who were managed at the Bahrain Defence Force Royal Medical Services Hospital, Ar-Rifaa, Bahrain, between 2005–2014. All of the patients were treated using the sclerotherapeutic agent OK-432. Although surgical removal is usually considered optimal treatment in the management of such cases, OK-432 appears to be a promising alternative.

Authors: Ariff Mohamed A. M. , Ros Mohd I. A. C. , Yahaya Nor H. M.
Published: April 2018

Pes anserine bursitis (PAB) is an inflammation of the bursa located between the medial aspect of the tibia and the hamstring muscles. It is common in patients with degenerative or inflammatory knee arthritis, usually has a self-limiting course and tends to respond well to conservative treatment. However, painful PAB directly following total knee replacement surgery is rare. We report two such cases who were diagnosed via ultrasonography at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2015. Both patients were treated locally with triamcinolone acetonide under ultrasound guidance and responded well to treatment.

techniques. Also, thermal degradations of the monomer and oligomer were
investigated TG-DTG analysis and it was determined that the oligomer thermally
stable up to 1200 ˚C. Additionally, electrical conductivity of the oligomer was
improved by doping with iodine at 20 ˚C and the conductivity of the oligomer
reached to 9x10-4 S/cm by increasing 107 at the end of the 48 h doping time fold
according to its undoped form.
Economía del comportamiento: pasado, presente y futuro
Authors: Thaler Richard H.
Published: April 2018

La “economía del comportamiento” intenta incorporar ideas de otras ciencias sociales, en especial de la psicología, para enriquecer el modelo estándar. El interés en la psicología del comportamiento humano es un retorno de la economía a sus orígenes. Adam Smith aludió a conceptos clave como la aversión a la pérdida, el exceso de confianza y el autocontrol. La economía del comportamiento encontró resistencia entre economistas que preferían mantener el modelo neoclásico estándar y argumentaban que la psicología se podía ignorar. Este ensayo muestra que esos argumentos han sido rechazados teórica y empíricamente, y que se deber seguir adelante. El nuevo enfoque debería incluir dos tipos de teorías: modelos normativos que caractericen la solución óptima de problemas específicos y modelos descriptivos que capten el comportamiento humano real. Estos últimos incorporarán variables llamadas factores supuestamente irrelevantes, que ayudarán a mejorar el poder explicativo de los modelos económicos.
El juez constitucional y la reelección presidencial en América Latina
Authors: Cárdenas Ernesto , Corredor Federico
Published: April 2018

Las disposiciones constitucionales sobre reelección presidencial se modificaron en varios países latinoamericanos durante los últimos años. En algunos países esos cambios pusieron en riesgo la existencia de la democracia. Este artículo utiliza el enfoque de principal-agente para analizar el papel del juez constitucional en la reelección presidencial como mecanismo de rendición de cuentas. Encuentra que la reelección inmediata en democracias de fuerte presidencialismo, puede ser un mecanismo perverso que agudiza la concentración del poder y deteriora el bienestar de los ciudadanos en vez de someter a los políticos a rendición de cuentas.
Brexit, paz y Trump: enseñanzas para los economistas
Authors: García Molina Mario , Chicaíza Liliana Alejandra
Published: April 2018

Este ensayo analiza tres procesos electorales que tuvieron resultados inesperados: la salida del Reino Unido de la Unión Europea, el rechazo del acuerdo de paz en Colombia y la elección de Trump como presidente de Estados Unidos. Subraya tres aspectos: las predicciones se hicieron en una situación de incertidumbre con base en reglas o convenciones, las campañas involucraron fuertes elementos emocionales y los resultados fueron afectados por factores culturales (identitarios y religiosos) y no sólo económicos. La economía estándar omite tales factores aunque debería tomarlos en cuenta.
Charakterystyka hydrologiczna i hydrochemiczna wód Moszczenicy w przekroju Gieczno
Authors: Górecki Michał
Published: April 2018

Od początku roku hydrologicznego 2016 w przekroju Moszczenica–Gieczno prowadzone są pomiary hydrologiczne i hydrochemiczne. Obecnie obserwowane są stosunkowo niskie przepływy oraz stany wody. Intensywna suburbanizacja zlewni oraz określony sposób gospodarowania wodami wpływają na właściwości fizykochemiczne rzeki. Wskaźnikami charakteryzującymi Moszczenicę jako rzekę zanieczyszczoną są fosforany oraz w mniejszym stopniu także ChZTMn. Widoczne jest to zarówno w sezonowej zmienności parametrów, jak i relacji ich stężeń z przepływem. W ostatnim ćwierćwieczu, pomimo wzmagającej się antropopresji, wartości PEW, PO4³‾ oraz O2nie wykazują widocznych zmian.

Effect of nutrient supply system on biometry and rhizosphere microflora of soybean, pigeon pea and sorghum.
Authors: Girme M. S. , Sarnobat D. H.
Published: April 2018

A field experiment was conducted at farm of Agriculture College, Latur (Maharashtra) to study the Effect of Nutrient Supply System on Biometry i.e. Plant height, functional leaves, grain yield and straw yield of Soybean, Pigeon pea and Sorghum as well as to study the azotobactor,phosphate solubilizing bacteria , fungi, actinomycetes and total microorganism in the rhizosphere microflora of soybean, pigeon pea and sorghum. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments combinations replicated two time. The treatments were - T1-organic ( 100% R.D.F.) ,T2-Inorganic nutrient supply system.(Rhizobium + PSB + Azotobactor + FYM ), T3—Integrated nutrient supply system.( 50% R.D.F. +50% FYM + Rhizobium PSB + Azotobactor ), T4- maximum yield nutrient supply system. T5- biodyamics or Ecofriendly nutrient supply system.. T6- natural (No fertilizer) ,T7-fallow . The fertilizer were applied as a basal dose as per the treatments. The observation on growth i.e. height of plant and number of functional leaves and yield were recorded by using five randomly selected plants of soybean,pigeon pea and sorghum in each treatment plot. The selected plants were labelled and all subsequent biometric observations were recorded on labelled plants during the course of investigation.The judicious use of biofertilizers like rhizobium, azotobactor ,phosohate solubilizing bacteria with organic manures helped in building up of soil microflora .It also help to augment the availabity of nutrient that could be easily assimilated by plants. The results revealed that the Maximum Yield nutrient supply system ( MYNSS ) is significantly superior to other system and it was at par with integrated nutrient supply system.

Authors: Khatua Rajashree , Pasupalak S.
Published: April 2018

Estimation of Evapotranspiration is vital role for proper water management and efficient farming activities. A decision support system (DSS_ET) was developed which supports 22 ET0 estimation methods with varied options for calculation of various intermediate parameters. The objective of the study is to estimate ET0 in the North central Plateau zone of Odisha, using weather data of the respective locality and screening of methods to estimate ET0 close to FAO-56 Penman Monteith method. The FAO-24 Penman(c=1) and Turc methods yielded the highest (5.605 mm/day) and the lowest mean ET0 (4.201 mm/day) respectively. For this zone, the highest ET0 values was found to be 10.32 mm/d for FAO-24 Penman(c=1) method followed by Businger-van Bavel (9.73 mm/d) and FAO-PPP-17-Penman (9.68 mm/d) in the month of May, whereas, lowest ET0 value was found in the month of December (2.54 mm/d) for the Priestly-Taylor method followed by 1982 Kimberly-Penman method (3.07 mm/d). Among all the methods, Penman-Monteith and Priestley-Taylor methods were ranked first and tenth respectively. For this zone, correction factor for Penman-Monteith and 1982 Kimberly-Penman methods approaches to one. The FAO-24 Penman (c=1) and Businger-van Bavel methods give more diversion from FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method.

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat-13 during autumn season of 2015 to study the nutrient management of direct seeded autumn rice under various irrigation schedules. The experiment consisted of four irrigation schedules viz., I1(No irrigation), I2(Irrigation at tiller initiation (TI) + boot leaf stage (BL)), I3(Irrigation at TI + panicle initiation (PI) + BL), I4 (Irrigation at TI + PI + Grain filling stage(GF)) and three nutrient management practices viz.,F1(100 % RDF +2t/ha FYM), F2(50 % RDF +1.5 t/ha enriched compost), F3(50 % RDF + 1.5 t/ha Vermicompost). The trial was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The soil was sandy loam. Inglongkiri rice variety was used in the experiment. Results revealed that irrigation schedule I3(Irrigation at TI + PI + BL) recorded significantly the highest growth characters of rice in terms of plant height, number of leaves per plant, and dry matter accumulation. Different nutrient management practices brought about significant differences in plant population per and dry matter accumulation. The highest of these parameters were recorded under application of 50% RDF along with 1.5 t/ha enriched compost and this was statically at par with F1 (100% RDF +2 t/ha FYM).

ive mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] lines (CN9-5, EC693363, Harsha, KPS-1 and NM 94) were subjected to three different Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) sinusoidal magnetic field (SMF) treatments. Fresh seed lots were exposed to ELF-SMF for 5 hours/day for a total duration of 15 days. Three treatment combinations of ELF-SMF chosen for assessment and comparison were: T1-10Hz, 1500 + 250 nanoTesla (nT), T2- 50Hz, 1500 + 250nT and T3 - 100Hz, 1500 + 250nT. Non-treated seeds were maintained as control (T4). Minerals (iron, calcium, zinc and total phosphorus) and protein contents were determined in both the control and test seed lots and sprout samples raised from them. The sprouting parameters were also recorded. All three ELF-SMF treatments were significant for calcium and total phosphorus content in the test seed samples when compared to control. In the case of sprouts, with respect to minerals, all the ELF-SMF treatments were significant for calcium content when compared to control. With respect to protein, sprouts from EC 693363 line recorded 8.3% increase in protein content in T1 (10Hz) while sprouts from Harsha line recorded 7.2% increase in protein content in T2 (50Hz) compared to their respective controls. No treatment effects were observed for the sprouting parameters

Published: April 2018

Biodiversity of stored grain insects is often neglected as many of the workers think that it has limited or no diversity as consumer tolerance towards insect pests in stored grains is zero. Survey was conducted in six districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka region to find out the diversity and insects infesting major stored pulses during 2014-15. Callasobruchus analis L., C. maculates F., C. chinensis L. and T. castaneum H. were insect pests observed in collected pulse samples. Dinarmus basalis R., D. vagabundus T.,Dinarmus sp. and Uscana sp. were the hymenopteran parasitoids on pulse beetle collected from the samples. Rank abundance showed that C. analis was dominant species found on stored pulses.
