Nonlinear response of the Antarctic ice sheet to Quaternary sea level and climate forcing
Authors: Tigchelaar Michelle , Timmermann Axel , Friedrich Tobias , Heinemann Malte , Pollard David
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Antarctic ice volume has varied substantially during the Quaternary, with reconstructions suggesting a glacial ice sheet extending to the continental shelf break, and interglacial sea level highstands of several meters. Throughout this period, changes in the Antarctic ice sheet were driven by changes in atmospheric and oceanic conditions and global sea level, yet so far, modeling studies have not addressed which of these environmental forcings dominate, and how they interact in the dynamical ice sheet response. Here we force an Antarctic ice sheet model with global sea level reconstructions and transient, spatially explicit boundary conditions from a 408 ka climate model simulation, not only in concert with each other but, for the first time, also separately. We find that together, these forcings drive glacial-interglacial ice volume changes of 12–14 m SLE, in line with reconstructions and previous modeling studies. None of the individual drivers – atmospheric temperature and precipitation, ocean temperatures, sea level – single-handedly explains the full ice sheet response. In fact, the sum of the individual ice volume changes amounts to less than half of the full ice volume response, indicating the existence of strong nonlinearities and forcing synergy. Both sea level and atmospheric forcing are necessary to create full glacial ice sheet growth, whereas the contribution of ocean melt changes is found to be more a function of ice sheet geometry than climatic change. Our results highlight the importance of accurately representing the relative timing of forcings of past ice sheet simulations, and underscore the need for developing coupled climate-ice sheet modeling frameworks that properly capture key feedbacks.
Fructose Consumption among Students at The University of Guanajuato
Authors: Terán Rosa Dejanira Medina , Emiliano Joel Ramírez , Lemus Hilda Lissette López
Published: May 2019

Introduction: Fructose is a monosaccharide commonly found in fruits. However, it can also be found in carbonated beverages, cereals, fruit juices, and in other processed fruit. The consumption of fructose in moderate to high amounts increases levels of triglycerides in plasma and alters hepatic glucose homeostasis. Little information is avialble on fructose consumption in Mexico. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of fructose consumption among college students enrolled at the Unviersity of Guanajuato in Mexico (Celaya-Salvatierra Campus).Methods: This was an explorative, cross-sectional descriptive study. A total of 57 full time students attending Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation program were included in the analysis. Demographic data, food frequency questionnaire, and body mass index (BMI) were collected from all students. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics; discrete variables were reported as frequencies or percentages and continuous variables were reported as means and standard deviations.Results: The average age of participants was 19.5 ± 2.8 years. 72% of participants were female and 28% were male. The average BMI was 24.0 ± 4.1 Kg / m2, indicating normal BMI range.  Fructose consumption was roughly 55g per day.Discussion: Previous research demonstrated that levels below 50 mg per day are safe. Madero et al. reported that that consumption of 50-70 g of fructose per day is considered to be moderate. We found that students consumed 55g of fructose, so their fructose intake is at a moderate level and should not be an obesity-inducing factor, also consistent with BMI ranges of our research participants. Considering obesity epidemic in Mexico, further studies examining the source of calories in Mexican poipualation are warranted, especially among young people.

Published: May 2019

Introduction: With high level of obesity in Mexico, there is a growing need to train more students in nutrition. Understanding what motivates students to choose pursuing degree in nutrition is very important for in post-secondary education. Better understanding of motivating factors may help educators to make sure that students complete their degress. The aim of this paper was to determine factors influencing student motivations for pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nutrition at the University of Guanajuato.Methods: This was a survey study targeting 50 students at the University of Guanajuato. Questions in the survey targeted the following issues: general student characteristics, main reason for the choice of study area, objectives of higher education, university study field, and future plans. The descriptive statistics were calculated for the data obtained. The Z test was applied to analyze the differences between the ages.Results: The mean age of these students was 19 years; 74% were female while 26% were male. The students reported that the main reason for choosing a career in nutrition was personal preference and pointed out that such degree will give them better career options in the future, including better financial renumeration in comparison to other careers. Most of the students stated that their main reason for choosing University of Guanajuato was its prestige at the national and international level.Conclusion:  Our study corroborates previously published study suggesting that students pursuing healthcare professions are motivaed by prestige and financial renumeration. With importance of nutrition in tackling obesity epidemic, it is very important to continue research on factors motivating students to choose careers in nutrition
El estado desarrollista en el capitalismo chino: formación de vínculos entre agentes
Authors: Vigil Villodres Anabel
Published: May 2019

El proceso de reformas de la economía china ha permitido conformar un modo de capitalismo donde coexisten procesos “desde arriba” impulsados por el Estado Desarrollista y “desde abajo” basados en la acumulación de capital privado local. En este artículo se analiza el papel del Estado Desarrollista chino como facilitador de vínculos de coordinación entre agentes, tanto público-privados —mediante agencias de desarrollo, empresas estatales y universidades e institutos de investigación—, como inter-empresariales, localizados en clústeres de producción; como forma de profundizar en la articulación interna de la economía y mejorar la posición de sus empresas domésticas en la red de valor global como parte de una estrategia que busca fomentar la competitividad a nivel sistémico.
¿Reprimarización en América Latina?: Efectos de la demanda china sobre el patrón exportador latinoamericano y las estructuras económicas internas (1995-2016)
Authors: Santana Suárez Néstor
Published: May 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar si la demanda china, dadas sus características propias, estaría incentivando una dinámica reprimarizadora de América Latina en el período 1995-2016. Para ello analizamos el patrón exportador de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Cuba, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela centrándonos en los productos primarios y las manufacturas basadas en recursos naturales. Distinguimos el comercio con destino a China y el del resto del mundo; para luego estudiar las consecuencias del cambio en el patrón exportador sobre las estructuras económica nacionales. Las principales conclusiones del trabajo serían que, si bien para la mayoría de los países estudiados, se aprecia un proceso de reprimarización de sus exportaciones; solo Brasil y Perú presentan indicios de una reciente dinámica reprimarizadora de su estructura interna, de aún muy corto recorrido.
El comercio como signo de civilidad en la prensa colonial de Buenos Aires (1801-1810)
Authors: Maggio-Ramírez Matías
Published: May 2019

El comercio y la civilidad se encontraron anudados en la prensa colonial porteña como una estrategia identitaria para demostrar que en Buenos Aires se encontraba a la par de las ciudades euro-peas y que también reinaban las ideas ilustración francesa mediadas por los intelectuales católicos es-pañoles. El comercio era un signo de civilidad, ya que implicaba el diálogo entre las partes, así como el pago de impuestos reales a diferencia del contrabando. La prensa porteña cuestionó el contrabando como una práctica ligada a la barbarie urbana que había que desterrar así como fomentó la civilidad y el comercio como la forma de habitar la ciudad en favor de la felicidad del pueblo.
Política y trabajo: elementos para una reconstrucción de la crítica de Hannah Arendt a Marx
Authors: Lucena Góngora Borja
Published: May 2019

El presente artículo procura articular el sentido que la filósofa Hanna Arendt localiza en la obra de Karl Marx, incidiendo en el lugar que ésta ocupa en la auto-comprensión e impulso de algunas de las tendencias en que se desplegó la moderna sociedad capitalista a partir de la ruptura decimonónica con los modelos políticos y sociales anteriores. Particularmente, se subraya la relación con el nuevo concepto de ser humano como animal laborans, la formulación marxiana de una nueva concepción del trabajo idónea para la inserción de aquél en las recién creadas estructuras de producción, así como las irradiaciones filosófico-políticas, en ese amplio marco, de la noción marxiana de “alienación” (Entfremdung, Entäusserung). Finalmente, se propone una valoración crítica de la aportación arendtiana a la comprensión del filósofo renano.
El sentido de la "natalidad" en la fenomenología de la acción política de H. Arendt
Authors: Brower Beltramin Jorge
Published: May 2019

Arendt desarrolla una fenomenología de la acción política sustentada en la experiencia humana dentro de los procesos históricos. En este artículo revisamos algunos de los conceptos centrales de esta propuesta, en particular, el de natalidad, entendido como noción-guía, que permite la apertura del hombre hacia el mundo, a través de la acción concebida por la filósofa como la pura capacidad de comenzar todas las actividades humanas. Del mismo modo observamos la tensión que se genera desde esta propuesta fenomenológica con el lenguaje categorial trascendente de la filosofía, intentando transgredirlo, para finalmente volver a él para dar cuenta de una concepción particular de lo político.
La "extimidad" del adversario político. Guerrilla mítica y contención psicológica de la radicalidad política
Authors: Juárez-Salazar Edgar M. , Saettele Zuend Hans R.
Published: May 2019

El presente trabajo analítico busca posicionar la noción lacaniana de extimidad como un elemento constitutivo y sustancial de la identidad política del guerrillero como adversario político problematizando su potencial exterioridad en el plano psicosocial. Situación que se presenta, desde nuestra postura lacaniana, en contraposición de diversos reduccionismos psicológicos que limitan y constriñen los efectos subversivos de los disidentes a un régimen de Estado y que son interpretados generalmente por la psicología social mainstream. Ulteriormente, se pretende vincular la idea de guerrillero a una conceptualización mítica por la cual éste puede ser descrito, y que permite manejar y disipar la contingencia subversiva, de una manera más sutil, desde la estructuración mítica de su identidad buscando controlar su incidencia en un sistema político.

Published: May 2019

This study assessed and compared the Quality of Service provided by the four major Mobile Network Operators(MNOs) in Akure, Nigeria as well as assessed their level of compliance with Nigerian Communications Commission standard. The study also examined the level of customer satisfaction on the services delivered by the MNOs. The effect of Quality of Service on the satisfaction of the customers of the MNOs was also investigated in this study.Primary data was collected in this study using both the drive test and survey questionnaire techniques. The drive test technique was used to collect data on the Quality of Service provided by the MNOs while the survey questionnaire was used to collect data on customer satisfaction from 527 respondents.Descriptive statistics was used to assess the level of Quality of Service provided and also to examine the level of customer satisfaction. The one-way ANOVA was adopted to compare the Quality of Service provided among the MNOs while Regression analysis was used to examine the effect of Quality of Service on customer satisfaction.The study revealed that the Quality of Service of the Mobile Network Operators in Akure differed significantly (P<0.05). It also revealed a moderate level of satisfaction among the customers. Though the Quality of Service provided by the Mobile Network Operators was found not to meet Nigerian Communications Commission standard for most of the key performance indicators, MTN was found to be the best. The study also revealed that the effect of Quality of Service on the satisfaction of customers is insignificant. The study recommended that the Mobile Network Operators should build more base stations as this would help reduce coverage gaps and blind spots and ultimately increase their network coverage.

Published: May 2019

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of using communicative language teaching (CLT) activities on EFL students’ speaking skills at the English Language Institute (ELI) of the University of Jeddah (UJ). The researcher conducted the current study in two classes of 21 female EFL students each; one class was the experimental group and the other the control group. The experimental group was taught using three communicative activities—interviewing, problem-solving, and role-playing—while the control group was taught using traditional methods. The current study followed a quasi-experimental study to answer the primary research question. The quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pre- and post-test design to determine if there was a significant difference between the scores of the experimental and control groups. The findings of the current study show that the experimental group scored higher than the control group. These findings have positive implications for the continued implementation of CLT teaching practices at the ELI of UJ.

Students in Kenya have been performing poorly in mathematics in both primary and secondary schools, with the majority of the students scoring below average. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which academic self-concept correlates with mathematics achievement of secondary school students in Nairobi County. The study targeted 9,641 Form 3 students in public secondary schools that had registered students for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations for the past three years. A sample of 500 respondents was drawn using stratified and simple random sampling. A questionnaire that included items from the Academic Self-Concept Questionnaire was used to measure academic self-concept. The average score in mathematics for three consecutive terms was used as the mathematics achievement for each participant. The results from the study showed that academic self-concept positively and significantly predicted mathematics achievement. Based on findings, this article includes recommendations on effective ways that teachers, parents, and other stakeholders can help increase students’ academic self-concept and boost students’ mathematics achievement.
Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Organizational Performance: The Intermediary Role of Competitive Advantage
Authors: Baah Charles , Jin Zhihong
Published: May 2019

Sustainability issues have been on the rise due to negative impacts of organizational practices on the environment. The logistics sector has been known as a major contributor in polluting and consuming enormous amount of resources. This study therefore aims to provide insight into how sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) influences performance of organizations operating in the logistics sector. This study went further to focus on the intermediary function of competitive advantage in the SSCM and organizational performance relationship. Questionnaires were distributed to solicit information from 190 logistics managers. Data were analysed using partial least square method of structural equation modelling. Analysis of the data indicates that SSCM significantly and positively influence competitive advantage and organizational performance. In addition, competitive advantage also proved to significantly influence organizational performance. Competitive advantage indirectly has a significant impact on the SSCM and organizational performance relationship. The findings of the study provide key information to managers and academics in understanding the essence of integrating sustainability in supply chain management (SCM) and how the integration influences organizational performance in the current business and industrial setting.

Der Beitrag transnationaler Sozialer Dialoge zum europäischen Arbeitsschutzrecht
Authors: Waldon-Thoroe Aimee
Published: May 2019

Arbeitsschutzrechtliche Normenbildung und Normenumsetzung zählen zu den Kernaufgaben des Sozialstaats. Im Zuge der Europäisierung und Globalisierung von Gesellschaft und Recht zeichnet sich auch auf dem Gebiet des Arbeitsschutzrechts ein Wandel der Staatlichkeit ab. Aufgaben des Nationalstaates werden vielfach nicht mehr nur durch den Nationalstaat, sondern durch transnationale private und hybride (staatlich-private) Akteurskonstellationen wahrgenommen. In Europa und dort insbesondere im Bereich des Arbeitsschutzrechts gewinnen sog. „transnationale Soziale Dialoge“ immer mehr an Bedeutung. Dessen gemeinsame normbildenden und normdurchsetzende Ergebnisse wurden anhand einer 3.000 Dokumente umfassenden Dokumentenanalyse, diversen Experteninterviews, drei Fallstudien und rechtswissenschaftlicher Diffusionsanalysen im Hinblick auf deren Beiträge zum europäischen Arbeitsschutzrecht untersucht und mit den Anforderungen des europäischen Sozialstaatsmaßstabes verglichen.

Authors: Kishk Omayma A. , Simone Shari , Lardieri Allison B. , Graciano Ana Lia , Tumulty Jamie , Edwards Sarah
Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE To describe the use of pharmacologic treatment in critically ill children treated according to a delirium protocol and compare those treated with antipsychotics to those treated non-pharmacologically.

METHODS The study included a retrospective matched cohort describing patients who were pharmacologically treated for delirium compared to those with delirium but not treated in a PICU from December 2013 to September 2015, using a delirium management protocol. Patients were matched by age, sex, diagnosis, mechanical ventilation (MV), and presence of delirium.

RESULTS Of 1875 patients screened, 188 (10.03%) were positive for delirium. Of those, 15 patients (8%) were treated with an antipsychotic for delirium. Patients with delirium treated with antipsychotics were younger, had more delirium days (6 vs. 3, p=0.022), longer MV days (14 vs. 7, p=0.017), and longer PICU length of stay (34 vs. 16 days, p=0.029) than in the untreated group. Haloperidol, risperidone, and quetiapine were used in 9, 6, and 2 patients, respectively. Two patients were treated with multiple antipsychotics. Antipsychotic treatment was initiated on day 2 of delirium for 8 of 15 patients (53.3%). Ten patients in the treatment group had improved delirium scores by day 2 of treatment. No significant differences in sedation exposure between groups. No significant adverse effects were reported.

CONCLUSIONS No significant adverse events seen in this small cohort of critically ill pediatric patients with delirium treated with antipsychotic therapy. Patients with early-onset delirium refractory to non-pharmacologic treatment may have a more effective response to antipsychotic therapy than patients with late-onset refractory delirium.

Authors: Thompson Kendalyn , Gammal Roseann S. , Benefield Emily C. , Condren Michelle E.
Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE This study evaluates pediatric ambulatory care training opportunities for postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) pediatric pharmacy residents.

METHODS An online survey was disseminated to PGY2 pediatric pharmacy residency directors. The questions involved the number and type of pediatric ambulatory care rotations offered; number of preceptors who practice in pediatric ambulatory care; whether or not a pediatric ambulatory care rotation is a requirement of the program; length and format of the rotations; amount of time residents spend in the pediatric ambulatory care setting; and the resident's role during pediatric ambulatory care rotations.

RESULTS The survey yielded an 85% response rate (n = 41/48). Most residency programs offer at least 1 pediatric ambulatory care rotation (n = 38; 93%), most of which are longitudinal experiences, and two thirds of programs require their resident(s) to complete a pediatric ambulatory care rotation (n = 27; 66%). These experiences involve a variety of specialty clinics, and residents assume diverse roles and responsibilities. Few programs offer residents the opportunity to practice under a collaborative drug therapy management agreement (n = 6; 15%) or develop new clinical services (n = 6; 15%). Most residency program directors (n = 39; 95%) reported that less than 25% of their residency graduates work in the pediatric ambulatory care setting.

CONCLUSIONS Ambulatory care experiences in PGY2 pediatric pharmacy residency programs are diverse in number and scope. There is an opportunity to expand pediatric ambulatory care rotation offerings, particularly with respect to collaborative drug therapy management and the establishment of new clinical services.

Published: May 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apontar e refletir sobre as semelhanças existentes entre a lei nº 13.415/2017, elaborada após o golpe parlamentar de 2016 e a lei nº 5.692/1971 criada depois do Golpe Militar de 1964. A análise por nós empreendida, buscou identificar os efeitos e concepções de ambas sobre a educação para as juventudes populares. Para subsidiar esta reflexão, foram utilizados como textos base as obras: “Política Educacional”, de Eneida Oto Shiroma, Maria Célia Marcondes de Moraes e Olinda Evangelista; e “A Nova Lei da Educação: LDB, trajetórias, limites e perspectivas”, de Demerval Saviani. A escolha do referencial teórico que subvencionará a análise se deu em virtude da importância que possuem para a compreensão das políticas públicas educacionais brasileiras. Após a leitura crítica da Lei nº 13.415/2017, comparando-a às análises sobre a Lei 5.692/1971, empreendidas pelos autores das obras supracitadas concluímos que ambas legislações buscam romper com o caráter propedêutico do Ensino Médio e; além disso, objetivam balizar a educação dos jovens das classes populares, relegando a eles, um ensino de caráter puramente tecnicista, cuja principal finalidade consiste na formação de mão-de-obra e insumos ao mercado capitalista neoliberal.

Transición a la adultez en España antes y en la salida de la crisis económica. Una comparación utilizando el análisis de entropía
Authors: Sánchez-Galán Francisco Javier
Published: May 2019

En este artículo se va a valorar la heterogeneidad en los procesos de transición hacia la vida adulta comparando dos periodos de diferente coyuntura económica: el periodo previo la crisis y en los años en los que es posible considerar como el comienzo de la salida de la crisis económica. A través del índice de entropía se medirá el grado de complejidad, superposición o simultaneidad de los diferentes estatus o estados que estructuran el proceso de transición hacia la vida adulta (estudiante, activo, emancipado, en pareja y ser padres) y atendiendo a diversos factores o variables como la edad, sexo y riesgo de pobreza. Con este indicador será posible construir secuencias donde constatar el final de la transición, situado por la bibliografía especializada en el ápice de entropía o edad a la que se observa la máxima heterogeneidad.In this article we will assess the heterogeneity in the processes of transition to adult life by comparing two periods of different economic conjuncture: the period prior to the crisis and in the years in which it is possible to consider the beginning of the exit from the economic crisis. Through the entropy index, the degree of complexity will be measured, overlap or simultaneity of the different status or states that structure the process of transition to adult life (student, active, emancipated, as a couple and to be parents) and attending to various factors or variables such as age, sex and risk of poverty. With this indicator it will be possible to build sequences to verify the end of the transition, located by specialized bibliography at the apex of entropy or age at which the maximum heterogeneity is observed.
The effect of bioproducts on organically grown winter wheat
Authors: Sinkevičienė Jolanta , Pekarskas Juozas
Published: May 2019

The study was aimed to examine the effect of the bioproducts Biokal 01 and Fitokondi on the germination of organically grown winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar ‘Širvinta 1’ seed and its contamination with microscopic fungi as well as the impact on the occurrence of foliar diseases, plant bio­metric indicators and grain quality. Laboratory analyses showed that the tested bioproducts did not exert any significant effect on seed vigour and germination. Fitokondi gave the highest efficacy against pathogens of seeds, its biological efficacy against Fusarium and Alternaria spp. fungi was 50.0% and against Penicillium spp. it was 20.0%. Biokal 01 statistically significantly reduced only grain contamination with Mucor spp. and Aspergillus spp. The bioproducts significantly decreased the incidence of crown rot diseases in the coleoptiles of wheat seedlings and roots. In the field conditions, the bioproducts did not have any significant effect on the incidence of Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt. anamorph Zymoseptoria tritici (Desm.) Quaedvlieg & Crous) and tan spot (Helminthosporium tritici-repentis Died.). A significant increase in plant height and ear length, grain number per ear and 1000 grain weight was recorded. Grain yield increased by 0.66–0.79 t ha–1 or 18.64–22.32%, as well as protein, wet gluten and dry gluten content in response to both bioproducts.

Published: May 2019

The development of private forestry in Lithuania has raised the problem of its sustainability assessment. In order for private forest management in small holdings to be based on sustainability principles, this sustainability must be characterized by a system of measurable criteria and indicators. The purpose of the study is to assess the sustainability of Lithuanian private forestry. Based on European and other processes on criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management for the first time Lithuanian private forestry sustainability was assessed. The assessment model is based on the multicriteria analysis and includes 7 steps: 1) criteria and indicators, 2) their importance, 3) values of indicators, 4) target indicators, 5) assessment scales, 6) assessment of indicators, 7) overall assessment. The article describes the small-scale private forestry of Lithuania, the model of its sustainability assessment and the results of the assessment. The assessment score for the sustainability of Lithuanian private forestry is 3.2 on the 5-point scale.
Educação, política e religião na fixação do núcleo jesuíta em Itu: uma análise a partir do Colégio São Luís (1867-1918)
Authors: Da Silva Ana Rosa Cloclet , Lourenço Lais da Silva
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o processo de abertura e funcionamento do Colégio jesuíta São Luís de Itu, entre os anos de 1867 e 1918. Retornando ao Brasil no ano de 1856, já no contexto da denominada reforma ultramontana, a Companhia de Jesus reinicia seu projeto de evangelização, empregando a educação como uma de suas principais estratégias. Diferentemente dos séculos XVII e XVIII — quando possuíam o monopólio da educação no Brasil — tais clérigos identificaram novas demandas educacionais e pedagógicas, adaptando sua atuação e concedendo à educação um novo aspecto a fim de legitimá-la, alinhando-a à conjuntura do século XIX. Considerando o caráter político da educação e da religião, a partir do referencial teórico da Nova História Política, o presente artigo analisa a articulação entre os preceitos da Ordem, seu ideal de educação e os rumos da modernidade reivindicada pelas elites ituanas, tendo como foco o Colégio São Luís de Itu. Deste modo, intenciona ampliar o debate sobre o caráter político da educação, bem como sobre suas relações com o campo religioso. De forma geral, busca colaborar para o alargamento dos estudos históricos acerca da religião e dos atores e estratégias envolvidos na reforma da Igreja católica em moldes ultramontanos, no Brasil do século XIX.

Published: May 2019

The individual aril characteristics of eight autochthonous pomegranate varieties (Lifanka, Bejnarija, Karamustafa, Ropkavac, Valandovska, LC, Zumnarija and Hicaz) from R. Macedonia were investigated using computer vision software methods. The great differences in the dimension of aril at the varieties were determined. The variety Lifanka is characterized with the greatest length (12.6 mm), width (9.5 mm) and mass (0.5 g) of the aril. Cross section aril area (61.1 mm2) and perimeter (31.6 mm) indicate that the variety ‘Hicaz’ is characterized with the smallest aril. Investigation of the aril shape showed different level of asymmetry depending on the variety. Generally, the variety Hicaz is characterized with the most asymmetrical aril. Based on CIELab system of coloration, great differences in the aril colour were noted among the investigated pomegranate varieties. The variety Hicaz had the darkest coloration (L* 19.3; a* 13.1; b* 5.3). High correlation dependence between coloration and shape and mass was determined.

Published: May 2019

An experiment was undertaken studying the effects of genotype, treatment with growth regulators and duration of rooting period on the percentage of rooting and quality of the root system of green cuttings of giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) J.Buchh.). Cuttings were taken from 18 ten-year seedlings of 10 species of origin. The duration of rooting period (3 months vs. 5 months) was statistically reliable for root- and callus formation rates. The extension of rooting period for two month affords 57.76% more rooted cuttings. The genotype is the main factor influencing the percentage of rooting, number of roots formed and the length of the main root. Treatment with auxin also increase the percentage of rooting, number of roots formed and the length of the main root. Treatment with 4000 ppm indole butyric acid (IBA) gives good results at the end of the third and fourth month, but a five-month rooting period cuttings treated with 4000 ppm IBA showed the highest percentage of rooting.

On the 21st of February 2003 Croatia submitted a request for membership in the European Union, thus starting a long process of preparation and negotiations on accession to the EU. A number of decisions that define the structure for negotiations were adopted in the period to follow. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development was defined as responsible for Chapter 11, 12 and 13. Croatia’s key negotiating requests concerned the determination of amount of financial envelope for direct payments, the terms of application and financing of the direct payments and the determination of production quotas. The overall process of accession negotiations was completed at the meeting of the Intergovernmental Conference on Croatian accession to the European Union on 30 June 2011. The financial envelope for direct payments determined on the basis of statistical data about the agricultural production realized and resource utilized in the defined reference period was set to 373 million Euros per year. Also, since 2014, Croatia could use the EU budget for Rural Development in the amount of 333 million Euros per year (additionally including national budget funds). Finally, the EU provides the legal framework and financial ability, but whether and how the funds will be used depends on the Member State.
