Authors: Alarcón Carla , Vizcarra María
Published: April 2018

El objetivo del estudio de metodología cuantitativa fue conocer la información disponible sobre el desempeño en las actividades de la vida diaria instrumentales (AVDI) de las personas en situación de discapacidad visual en relación a las barreras que presentan para su ejecución. Para ello se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográ ca en distintas bases de datos y sitios web y documentos e información disponible en todo tipo de prensa. Las variables utilizadas fueron: actividades de la vida diaria instrumental, discapacidad visual, barreras, edad, año, idioma y país.

Del total de la información recopilada, el 32,60 % de las investigaciones tenían relación con la temática a investigar. En su mayoría correspondía a publicaciones del año 2008 con un 17,4%, siendo con mayor frecuencia documentos en idioma español (78,3%). En la literatura de Chile se encontró aproximadamente un 21,7% de información.

La mayoría de la literatura incluía a todas las personas en situación de discapacidad con un porcentaje de 58,7%, todas éstas relacionadas con las barreras y AVDI, sin embargo, los documentos abarcaban mayor información sobre las barreras de comunicación (32,6%) y las AVDI relacionadas con la gestión de comunicación (37%). En conclusión la información para aquellas actividades como el cuidado de mascotas y crianza de niños y las investigaciones sobre el tema abordado, es insu ciente para así poder implementar estrategias que faciliten la independencia de estas personas.

Authors: Miranda Duro María Del Carmen , Carracedo Vazquez Marta , Nieto Riveiro Laura , Groba González Betania , Pousada García Thais , Pereira Loureiro Javier
Published: April 2018

Objetivos: En la actualidad, se ha podido observar un envejecimiento progresivo de la población, lo que ha aumentado el interés acerca de la jubilación, ya que la duración de esta será cada vez más prolongada y afectará a los sistemas laborales, sanitarios y educativos, así como a la propia organización de la sociedad. El objetivo de este estudio es explorar y conocer las vivencias ocupacionales de los participantes en su etapa de jubilación.

Método: Se ha utilizado la investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa, empleándose como métodos de recogida de datos un cuestionario, una entrevista semiestructurada y un diario de campo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 13 personas jubiladas.

Resultados: Existen inconsistencias entre los resultados obtenidos en el cuestionario y lo que los participantes refieren en la entrevista, ya que en el cuestionario otorgan a la jubilación un significado positivo mientras en sus discursos se refleja lo contrario. Además, presentan limitaciones para comprender el concepto oficial de jubilación e identificarse con él. Por último, ha destacado la influencia del clima en el desempeño ocupacional y la controversia existente en cómo se entiende el ocio según el entorno en el que viva la persona (urbano o rural).

Conclusiones: Se concluye que la distribución del tiempo es uno de los cambios más significativos de la jubilación, existiendo contradicciones en cuanto al significado que se le otorga a este concepto. Los resultados obtenidos también reflejan la necesidad de la preparación previa a la jubilación, aunque inicialmente muchos participantes no identifiquen esta necesidad como propia.
La variable de discapacidad en la política cultural en chile: balances y desafíos
Authors: Cancino-González Paula Milenka , Reinoso Aguiló Alejandra Karina , Rojas Rodríguez Constanza Edith
Published: April 2018

Introducción: El origen de la discapacidad no se encuentra únicamente en el individuo, sino que en la interacción negativa entre factores individuales y contextuales. Estos últimos determinan barreras u oportunidades de participación y al variar, pueden modificar la condición de discapacidad e incluso eliminarla aún cuando el individuo mantenga su diagnóstico de salud. De aquí la vinculación y la importancia de las acciones de la política pública en torno a la temática. Esta investigación, pondrá su foco en la Política Cultural de Chile la cual establece entre sus principios la promoción del acceso y la participación de la comunidad en iniciativas artístico-culturales, lo que sin duda incluye la variable discapacidad.

Objetivo:El objetivo de la investigación es contribuir a la vinculación efectiva y apropiada entre la variable discapacidad y el acceso a la cultura desde las políticas públicas chilenas, explorando desafíos para la gestión cultural en esta materia.

Metodología: Basándose en el concepto de accesibilidad universal, y con una metodología de tipo cualitativa, se analizan los programas de política pública asociados a la variable discapacidad de tres servicios del Estado: Dirección de Bibliotecas Archivos y Museos, el Servicio Nacional de Discapacidad y el Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes.

Resultados:Se evidencia luego de realizados los análisis, que si bien desde el Estado chileno se integran líneas que abordan temas de discapacidad y cultura, lo que sin duda debe ser reconocido como un avance, estas referencias no garantizan de manera óptima la accesibilidad universal.

Conclusion: El gestor cultural aparece como un actor relevante en la formulación de la política cultural y por tanto en la construcción de la situación de discapacidad.

Estado de la terapia ocupacional en Chile
Authors: Hernández Lanas Oscar
Published: April 2018

Introducción: Este artículo tiene como finalidad describir el estado de la Terapia Ocupacional en Chile. Se recopila información sobre la formación de terapeutas ocupacionales en pregrado (planes de estudio, matrículas, duración, costos, cobertura nacional y acreditación), y caracterización de los egresados (cantidad de titulados, distribución por género, grados académicos asociados a la disciplina y distribución regional). Metodología: Se extrajeron datos descriptivos de la profesión entre los años 2007 al 2014. Las fuentes de información son el Colegio de Terapeutas Ocupacionales de Chile, Servicio de información de Educación Superior, Mi Futuro, Comisión Nacional de Acreditación y el Registro de Prestadores Individuales de la Superintendencia de Salud. Resultados: Existe un aumento significativo de planes de estudio tanto en universidades como en institutos profesionales, con un alto número de matrícula y titulación femenina, con cobertura en 11 regiones de Chile. La edad de egreso promedio de 26 años y con una duración real de 12,3 semestres. Cuenta con 20 de 42 programas acreditados. Existe un mayor número de profesionales en Santiago, Valparaíso, Araucanía, Biobío y Los Lagos. Conclusiones: Se observa un aumento sostenido de egresados, los cuales podrían disminuir los niveles de empleabilidad a futuro. La acreditación de programa es baja a nivel nacional como internacional y queda pendiente diseñar formas de certificar la calidad de la formación. En educación continua no se puede indicar en qué se especializan los egresados y existe la necesidad de disponer como gremio de herramientas que permitan medir la situación formativa como laboral.

Authors: Manghi S. Paola , Carvallo V. Josefina
Published: April 2018

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo describir el impacto del ambiente en la expresión de la volición de los adultos mayores con demencia leve a moderada, que participan en taller de música de una residencia en Santiago. Para ello fue necesaria la realización de una investigación de tipo cualitativa descriptiva, donde se llevó a cabo la observación del taller de música durante 1 mes (4 sesiones), utilizando el instrumento de evaluación “Cuestionario Volicional” a cuatro integrantes. Los principales resultados corresponden al impacto que provoca el ambiente (físico y social) sobre la expresión volitiva, según las tareas o formas ocupacionales observadas en cada sesión. Desde el ambiente físico los participantes alcanzan una expresión volitiva espontánea al momento de cantar y/o tocar instrumentos relacionados a sus intereses, como por ejemplo canciones judías y de su época. A su vez, el ambiente social inter ere en la expresión volitiva debido a diferentes factores relacionados con la forma ocupacional del taller, restringiendo la participación de los integrantes. El siguiente desafío está en profundizar, en futuras investigaciones, en cómo impacta el ambiente en su participación ocupacional en la expresión volitiva en adultos mayores con demencia.
Promoting Active Learning when Teaching Introductory Statistics and Probability Using a Portfolio Curriculum Approach
Authors: Adair Desmond , Jaeger Martin , Price Owen M.
Published: April 2018

The use of a portfolio curriculum approach, when teaching a university introductory statistics and probability course to engineering students, is developed and evaluated. The portfolio curriculum approach, so called, as the students need to keep extensive records both as hard copies and digitally of reading materials, interactions with faculty, interactions with other students and work they have completed on their own, is designed to encourage active learning, mainly in the areas of cooperation and collaboration. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the portfolio curriculum, a controlled experiment applying a pre-test-post-test control group design is conducted. Two tests are conducted, one before the commencement of the course (pre-test) and one after the completion of the course (post-test). The effectiveness is evaluated by comparing within-subject post-test and pre-test scores and by comparing the scores between subjects in the experimental group, i.e., those who learned using the portfolio curriculum approach and subjects in the control group, i.e., those who learned using a traditional method of teaching. In addition to analysis of the controlled experiment, a Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) was completed on the first and last day of the semester by the participants so as to give a measure of student confidence, understanding, liking, and difficulty of the portfolio curriculum approach as opposed to using a traditional method of teaching and learning. The findings of these investigations are reported and discussed, as are the merits and problems encountered regarding the methodology and student attitudes regarding the portfolio curriculum approach.

Authors: Wan Yusoff Wan Mazwati
Published: April 2018

This research project attempted to investigate the impact of applying philosophical inquiry method of teaching onclassroom engagement and reasoning skills of low achievers. Low achievers are those who have the potential tosucceed but lagged behind because of several factors that demotivate them to perform at their highest ability. In thisstudy, low achievers were students who failed or obtained the lowest grades in previous standardized schoolexamination. They were 22 students aged 12-13 years old from a school in Gombak district, Malaysia. The studentswere observed and video recorded while participating in discussing the questions they had formulated in response tothe given stimulus materials. Many assumed and projected that these students would not succeed in school and life;and would not have the intelligence to engage in discussion that employed higher order thinking. However, thefindings revealed that when low achievers were given opportunities to voice out their opinions in dialogic pedagogy,they demonstrated the ability to be focused and engaged in classroom discussion. Furthermore, this pedagogy hasproven effective in stimulating higher order thinking or reasoning skills among low achievers. Specifically, this studyfound indicators of behavioral, emotional and agentic engagement among low achievers; and demonstrated that lowachievers were capable of asking higher order thinking questions, clarifying meanings, giving examples, makingconclusion and inductive reasoning, distinguishing and classifying ideas.

Em torno do conceito de heresia: o caso de João Cassiano (Provença, século V)
Authors: Pinheiro-Jones Rossana
Published: April 2018

Próspero da Aquitânia é conhecido como aquele que acusou os monges da Provença de serem semipelagianistas. Devido a tais acusações, desde o século XVI, estudiosos consideraram que a 13ª Conferência, escrita por João Cassiano em cerca de 426 d.C, teria desempenhado papel central no surgimento desta forma moderada de Pelagianismo, após a lerem como uma contestação aos ensinamentos de Agostinho sobre a graça, o livre-arbítrio e a predestinação. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um debate sobre o conceito de heresia, tomando a 13ª. Conferência como ponto de partida. Pretendemos demonstrar que tal escrito não era uma contestação a Agostinho, pois pode ser analisado como integrante de uma perspectiva teológica monástica provençal, centrada na iniciativa humana e sobre a importância da obediência para a salvação.
As Leguminosas no Portugal Moderno: uma presença constante e discreta
Authors: Braga Isabel Drumond
Published: April 2018

Perante a impossibilidade de se conhecer o consumo per capita das diferentes leguminosas na Época Moderna, restam-nos fontes – livros de culinária, informações sobre dietas de estudantes, de religiosos e de presos, provérbios, relatos de viajantes estrangeiros, e outras – que permitem ter uma perceção qualitativa do uso das mesmas. A análise destas fontes diversas torna clara a maneira como foram entendidos estes alimentos, igualmente do ponto de vista dos consumos não prestigiantes, demonstrando o fraco valor simbólico da sua presença à mesa.
Aprender na clausura: a aula pública do recolhimento da Caridade de Braga, no século XVIII
Authors: Araújo Maria Marta Lobo de
Published: April 2018

Neste trabalho analisamos a aprendizagem feita pelas mulheres nos recolhimentos, dando particular atenção ao da Caridade de Braga, onde em finais do século XVIII se criou uma “aula pública”. Espaços de reclusão, estas casas constituíam-se como locais de preservação da honra feminina, mas também centros de aprendizagem de competências associadas à vida doméstica. Embora em todos os recolhimentos se praticasse a leitura e a escrita, em muito poucos se ensinavam essas práticas. No da Caridade foi criada uma escola para meninas, com a particularidade de ser um espaço de clausura que diariamente se abria para receber alunas externas, embora tivesse também alunas internas.
Assistência e cultura material: o património móvel do hospital da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Pombal na segunda metade do século XIX
Authors: Oliveira Ricardo Pessa de
Published: April 2018

Este artigo tem por objeto de estudo uma instituição que teve, e continua a ter, um papel de suma importância na sociedade, designadamente no que respeita à prestação de cuidados de saúde. Após a fundação da primeira Misericórdia, a de Lisboa, em 1498, assistiu-se a uma difusão célere destas instituições, que passaram a deter o quase monopólio da assistência em Portugal. Este texto estuda uma dessas confrarias de leigos, sob imediata proteção régia, viradas para o exterior, com o propósito de praticar as 14 obras de misericórdia do catecismo cristão: a Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Pombal, irmandade com existência documentada em 1628. Depois de uma breve incursão pelas diferentes fases que a instituição conheceu ao longo da história, o texto debruça-se sobre o edifício do hospital, os assalariados do sector da saúde, os doentes internados e, sobretudo, o património móvel existente naquele espaço na segunda metade de Oitocentos.
A“augusta mãe por cima das ondas do oceano”: a corte portuguesa no púlpito brasileiro
Authors: Duran Maria Renata Da Cruz
Published: April 2018

A parenética lusitana ganhou força no período das grandes navegações, em que a atuação missionária se justificava em função tanto da criação de um horizonte comum, quanto no fortalecimento da coesão cultural promovida pela cristianização do mundo ocidental.  Crônicas de viagem e  parenética missionária se fundiram na geração de uma unidade discursiva lusófona ao longo do período moderno. Nas Igrejas, aqueles que nem tinham contato com o mundo de letras, nem acesso às grandes naus, sacavam seus bilhetes de viagem dos sermões que ouviam com atenção. Não obstante, a idealização de novos territórios era partilhada por sermonistas que descreveram cidades inteiras sem nunca tê-las visto. Tal é o caso de algumas orações acerca de Portugal e Brasil, sobretudo no período em que a transferência da corte lusitana para a capital fluminense conformou uma aproximação mais efetiva entre essas duas partes do Império. Nomeado pregador régio por d.João VI, frei Francisco de São Carlos lhe devotou a "Oração de Ação de Graças, recitada no dia 1o de Marco de 1809 na Capela Real, dia de aniversário da feliz chegada de sua alteza real a esta cidade” a d. João VI. Nas palavras do frei uma Lisboa que se desvenda pelas memórias e presença de novas personagens na cena fluminense. Na oração, uma descrição do patrimônio imaterial que representava a sociabilidade da corte e sustentava a manutenção do Antigo Regime. Acerca do alargamento das fronteiras do conhecimento forjado no trânsito lusófono trata a presente apresentação, esta guiada pelas viagens imaginárias à que sermonistas e pregadores transportam a população desses dois lados do Quinto Império.

This article aims to address distance education and the use of technologies as an instrument of inclusion in the educational and social spheres. In this way, we will present an analysis that involves distance education and the understanding of what technology is. The methodological procedure adopted is the bibliographical research with a qualitative approach. We conclude that distance education was recognized as a modality by the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law No. 9.9394 / 96 in a period of technological expansion in the country. The regulation of this modality and its characterization by the use of the technologies contrib-uted to the change of the vision of education, mainly to the attendance of the citizens who for some reason can’t attend the higher education face-to-face
Optimal Evaluation of Programmed Death Ligand-1 on Tumor Cells Versus Immune Cells Requires Different Detection Methods
Authors: Schats Kelly A. , Van Vré Emily A. , Boeckx Carolien , De Bie Martine , Schrijvers Dorien M. , Neyns Bart , De Meester Ingrid , Kockx Mark M.
Published: April 2018

Context.—

The benefit of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a method to select patients who may benefit from programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 immunotherapies remains uncertain in many tumor indications.

Objectives.—

To compare the commercially available, approved PD-L1 IHC assays (22C3, 28-8, SP142, SP263), specifically identifying the changes in staining output created by altering the detection method.

Design.—

This pilot study investigates the respective PD-L1 kit assay staining patterns and related scoring of tumor cells and immune cells on lung carcinoma and melanoma. Furthermore, the influence of the detection method (platform and related reagents) on PD-L1 antibody performance is studied.

Results.—

The SP142 kit reveals more immune cell staining but less tumor cell staining than the other PD-L1 kits. Alternatively, the 22C3 and 28-8 kits show good tumor cell sensitivity, but less pronounced immune cell staining, even in tonsil. Tumor cell staining by the SP263 kit is comparable to that of 22C3 and 28-8 kits, while immune cell staining is better. Strikingly, the selection of the detection method has a major impact on the sensitivity of the assay for PD-L1 detection per cell type. Switching the detection method of the kits could largely circumvent the observed staining differences.

Conclusions.—

The diverse sensitivities caused by the choice of the detection method should be taken into consideration when selecting PD-L1 kits or developing PD-L1 IHC laboratory-developed tests. When using alternative kits or laboratory-developed tests, it is strongly recommended to reestablish their clinical utility per therapeutic agent or compare them with the original kit.

Avermectines are new class of antibiotics with acaricidal and anthelmintic activity.New medicine containing macrocyclic lactones is Eprimec. One milliliter ofEprimec contains 10mg of eprinomectin as active substance. The aim of our studywas to determine the extent of karyopatic and cytotoxic effects of that preparationto cell division process in testes of white mice. The materials for the study were thenon-linear white mice – males 18 - 22 g. Experimental group of mice received adose of 200 micrograms of active compound per 1 kg of weight or 10 mg / ml ofeprinomectin by single subcutaneous injection. The control group of animalsremained intact. Each group consisted of 8 mice. The animals were slaughtered at12 hours after drug administration. Testes of mice were isolated, smears – imprintswere prepared that are fixed by May - Grunewald and stained with azure - eosin byRomanovsky. Glass slides with testes cells were viewed under a microscope andimplemented to count the number of dividing cells, take into account the shape,size and color of the nuclei. Analysis of the frequency of occurrence of akaryopatic disorders and cytotoxic effects of cells were performed separately andlying sprawled cells with counting at least 1000 cells in each glass slide (Lazarevaet al, 2016). Analyzing the data, we concluded that on the basis of eprinomectinformulations significantly reduce the activity of cell division, but it is toxic andcause serious karyopatic changes in the cells of the testes nonlinear white mice,indicating that the negative effects on the reproductive system of males.

Seedgermination and seedling establishment are the most critical stages in the life cycleof plants For the purposes of the study, the germination temperatures of six coolseasonlegumes (Vicia faba, Lens esculentus, Vicia sativa, Lupinus albus, Pisumsativum, and Lathyrus sativus) important cultivars were determined. Seedgermination rate was measured at different temperatures in the range 4-10 C in agrowth chamber with constant parameters (light, water) at three-day intervals for aperiod of three weeks. Each treatment was repeated four times for each temperaturevalue, where 100 seeds were placed in five different separate glass madecontainers. The measurements were taken at three-day intervals. A seed wasdeemed to have germinated when at least 1 mm of radicle was visible. It was foundthat pea germinated faster than the rest cultivars under low temperatures, whereasVicia sativa and Lathyrus sativus showed the slowest germination rates. Thedescending order of germination rate Pisum sativum> Vicia faba > Lensesculentus> Lathyrus sativus >Vicia sativa>Lupinus albus. Germination rateincreased with increasing temperature for all cultivars. Lupinus albus was thelegume seed with the less germination percentage. Therefore, temperature is themost limited factor on germination process and the increase of 4 degrees is enoughto give better germination results. As a general conclusion, Pisum sativum andVicia faba may satisfactorily germinate in rather cool micro-environments, andtheir sowing in the fall may be postponed for some weeks without substantialgermination risk comparing to the rest legume cultivars.

Chaenomeles sp. (C. cathayensis, C. japonica, C. spesiosa and C. x superba) arecharacterized by rich chemical composition of all plant parts and the widevariability of the accumulation of separate components in different species andcultivars. For the expansion of ideas about the chaenomeles content nutritionalvalue of 7 essential macro- and microelements in the flowers and fruit of 8cultivars from the Nikita Botanical Gardens collection have been studied. Analysisof plant samples was carried out by dry ashing with subsequent determination ofmostelements on the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Ca and Mg weredetermined by complex metric method. It was revealed that essential elements wereaccumulated in the flowers and fruits in different quantities. The maximum amountof K, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu and Mn is contained in the flowers. The largest amount of Cawas detected in fruits, whereas Zn, Mn and Cu were most presented in seeds. Thestudied cultivars differ significantly in accumulation of essential elements.According to the studied complex components, the accession P-8-3 was allocated.Flowers were characterized by the highest content of Ca, Zn, Mn, Cu and highcontent – of K; fruits were rich in K, Ca, Zn, Mn and Cu. In the jam from thechaenomeles fruit, the high content of K (2087 mg 100 g-, i. e. more than 2%) wasrevealed. It is seven fold higher than daily rate for human. Thus, chaenomelesflowers, fruits and seeds are a valuable raw material, enriched with vital macroandmicroelements.

All the new challenges that food production has been experienced, requiresadequate response not only in wide agricultural practice, but also in modernbreeding programs. Broadening genetic variability is indispensable to meeting theborder set by climatic changes, land erosion, human population growth, andsustainable agriculture. Gathering genetic variability, forming and examininggenetic collection are integral part of the task. A germplasm collection of 220entries, consisting of cereal (Poaceae) genotypes has been formed. Geneticvariability of wheat (Triticum sp. ), barley (Hordeum sp. ), and goat grass (Aegilopssp. ), samples from the germplasm collection was analysed using gliadin blocks asprotein markers, as well as, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)markers. Gliadin allelic variation was notable within Triticum sp. samples,revealing not only genetic divergence, but also the origin and the structure ofpopulations. Genotype variation and structure of populations of Hordeum sp. wasfollowed by hordein allelic variation. Sampled population expressed heterogeneityfrom two to five genotypes per population sample. Landraces, old and modernvarieties were separated in collection using hordein allelic variation, as well. Asmall, pilot, investigation was conducted on Aegilops sp. polymorphism usingRAPD primers. Number and percentage of polymorphic loci, effective number ofalleles, expected heterozygosity and Shannon’s information index were used toestimate genetic variation.

Soil plays the main role in the sustaining life of Earth ecosystems –it is thefundamental foundation of agriculture resources, food security, economy andenvironmental quality. The heavy metal pollution has been increasing inagricultural soils worldwide. For example, Cu is widely used as a pesticide againstfungal and bacterial diseases in crops or as a contaminant in organic amendments,or for irrigation as pig manure or sewage sludge. Soil and water pollution have thegreat impact on food safety and to human health: polluted soils have direct healthrisks, and secondary risk is connected to contamination of water supplies. Thearticlepresents the lysimetric experiment with the chemical composition results.This exploratory study aims to evaluate the influence of agrochemical rehabilitationon the heavy metal migration to the water. The chemical composition of intrasoil water has shown that contaminated black soil has a high absorption capacity ofheavy metals. The bulk of heavy metal brought about in a form of water-solublesalts wasabsorbedand converted by soil colloids of podzolized chernozemintorelatively stable compositions. Results of the analytical research showed thatorganic and organic-mineral systems, where phosphates were used in the averagevolume of 60 kg of Р2О5per hectare a year, reduced intake of cadmium in thesubsurface water. Mineral systems also impeded migration of zinc and copper tothe ground water. On the contrary, high doses of superphosphate in the fertilizersystem increased the leaching of Cd, Pb and Cu to the infiltration waters.

This study was conducted in the Oued El Abid watershed upstream of the Bin ElOuidane dam, in Tadla-Azilal province (Morocco) to quantify the dam siltationrates. To assess the annual soil erosion and the sediment yield the universal soilloss equation (USLE) was used. A geographic information system (GIS) was usedto generate and integrate maps of the USLE factors. A spatial distribution of soilerosion in the Oued El Abid watershed was obtained. The soil erosion wasdetermined for each rural commune in order to identify the soil erosion hotspot andestimate the amount of soil that has been transported downstream (Bin El OuidaneDam). Soil erosion ranged from very limited values for flat and well covered areasto over 2100 t /ha/y in mountainous areas with sparse vegetation. The total annualsoil loss within the watershed is estimated at 19. 6 million tons per year. Anequation of sediment delivery ratio (SDR) based on river gradient was calculated.It was found that the value of SDR at the outlet of the watershed Oued El Abid was0. 65 with a sediment yield of 12. 74 million tons per year which affect thedurability of the dam.

The aim of this work is to study the difference of physiology between the workerbee nurse and forager (Apis mellifera intermissa). The chosen physiologicalcharacteristics were the component of the cuticle (protein-chitin content) and themeasure of the efficiency of immune system (the total number of haemocytes(THC), the normal haemocytes and the relative mass of fat body). The THC iswidely used as an indicator of cellular immunocompetence of insects. The normalhaemocytes, also referred to immunocytes, indicate the integrity of cellularimmune system. The fat body is an indirect measurement of induced humoralimmunocompetence. The THC and the normal haemocytes were determined by themethod described by Amdam et al., (2004). For the estimation of the cuticularabdominal protein-chitin content, the method described by Berghiche et al., (2007)was employed. The relative mass of fat body was determined using an etherextraction method according to Doums et al., (2002) and Wilson-Rich et al.,(2008).The results show that a considerable percentage of a cuticular protein and adecrease of chitin was observed in nurse compared to forager. The older beesexhibited a strong reduction in the immun parameters.

The research has evaluated the situation of tea production of tea growers in PhuTho Province, Vietnam. Average tea plantation area among the largest group ofhouseholds is 0.61 ha. In production, the types of risks that tea growers encounterinclude: unfavorable weather (33.4%), diseases (13.2%), insects and worms(2.3%), capital (0.3%) and price which is the most major risk (50.8%). The surveyof 1,000 tea growers identified that 46.7% of the households are in need toparticipate in tea production insurance. The average willingness to pay wasestimated to be 2,407.07 (thousand VND/ha/year).If the agricultural program issuccessfully implemented in the province, it is estimated to have a total agriculturalinsurance fund of 34-35 billion VND/year. The survey results show that gender,education level, tea growing area and location are factors that affect the level ofwillingness to pay for agricultural insurance for tea trees. There are four solutionswhich are proposed to enhance the participation of tea growers in agriculturalinsurance for tea: (1) Development of an insurance product for the production offresh tea leaves for easier access from farmers; (2) Active communication onagricultural insurance policy to local authorities, farmers' union, agriculturalexpansion stations and especially the farmers; (3) Close collaboration betweenlocal authorities and enterprises in the review on current mechanisms and policiesto timely propose adjustments and supplements to meet the needs of farmers onagricultural insurance; (4) Strengthening coordination between the State, insurancecompanies, credit and financial institutions and farmers.
