Evaluation of Melon (Cucumis Melo. L) Genotypes Aiming Effective Selection of Parents for Breeding Directed at High Yield under Drought Stress Condition
Authors: Naroui Rad Mohammad Reza , Mohammad Ghasemi Mahmood , Abbas Koohpayegani Jahangir
Published: July 2017

This study examined 36 accessions of melon grown originally in dry and warm zones managed in the gene bank in the Institute of Seed and Plant Improvement, Karaj. To characterize and compare results of the field experiment statistical procedures, hierarchical cluster analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and multiple linear regressions were applied. The results indicated a high degree of variability for single plant yield, fruit weight, fruit length, and cavity diameter. In addition, the variables of fruit size displayed a high differentiating power. Positive and negative correlation coefficients were identified among the studied traits as well. The highest significant positive correlation was found between the plant yield and fruit weight (0.88). Also, the highest significant negative correlation was observed between relative water content and canopy temperature (−0.58). Melon accessions were classified into three main clusters, indicating that the characterized melon collection has a high potential for particular breeding goals. The usefulness of the identified correlations among traits is valuable for the potential use in breeding projects directed for fruit size and yielding in dry condition. Multiple linear regressions were done and R2 (Coefficient of determination) and RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) were 0.97 and 229, respectively.
Basileus, tyrannosand polis. The Dynamics of Monarchy in Early Greece
Authors: Kõiv Mait
Published: July 2017

The article scrutinizes the development of the forms of leadership in the Early Iron Age and Archaic Greece, questioning the traditional view that personal leadership as described in the Homeric epics (the ‚Homericbasileia‘) was the rule during the Early Iron Age, but was replaced in the Archaic period by collective aristocracies, and by tyrannies as a principally new kind of monarchy. The article questions the strict distinction between the ‚constitutional‘ forms of government likebasileiaand oligarchy, andtyrannisas an illegal break of the constitutional order. The Early Iron Age archaeology supplies no evidence for institutionalised and permanent personal leadership, and the Homeric epic, presenting a controversial vision of an ostensibly distant past, cannot be accepted as a reliable guide to the socio-political order of the Early Iron Age. The termsbasileusandtyrannoswere used largely synonymously until ca 400, demonstrating that the Archaic Greeks did not distinguish between legitimatebasileiaand illegaltyrannisin their contemporary world. The evidence, including the half-legendary accounts concerning particular poleis, suggests that the more or less firmly established monarchies emerged from the eighth century onwards. On the other hand, it infers constant tensions between competing elite groups striving for power, and the consequent fluctuation of the forms of government in the Archaic. The situation could have been similar during the Early Iron Age, which suggests that Early Iron Age Greeks were familiar with both collective and personal leadership. The emergence of tyrannies and collectively governed poleis can be seen as varying, alternative, ways of polity formation resulting from the quickening development and growing tensions from the eighth century onwards; the legitimacy of both depended on local circumstances. Tyranny appears not as a break of established aristocratic order, but as the monarchic form of elite leadership; the legitimacy of both depended on local circumstances. Tyranny appears as the monarchic form of elite leadership in the early polis, which proved, however, unacceptable in the long term as personal rule became increasingly regarded as an undesirable negation of consensual order.
Negotiation and Reconciliation. A new interpretation of the Athenian introduction of the Asklepios cult
Authors: Wijk Roy van
Published: July 2017

This article discusses the Athenian introduction of the Epidaurian Asklepios in 420 / 19 B. C., from the perspective of the international relations in the Classical Period. Contacts between Athens and Epidauros had existed since the early Archaic Period and continued during the Peloponnesian War, which enabled bothpoleisto cooperate on this particular instance. The delicate equilibrium between the Spartan and Athenian alliance that the Peace of Nikias encompassed was the outcome of changes in the political atmosphere in both camps, as politicians striving towards rapprochement and consolidation accumulated sufficient influence. Instead of regarding the cultic foundation as the result of Athenian imperialist design, the Athenian introduction of Asklepios must be regarded as a symbol of reconciliation between Athens and Epidauros that demonstrates the utilisation of sanctuaries to obtain political goals besides imperial aims.
The workings of public opinion in the Late Roman Republic: the case study of corruption
Authors: Rosillo-López Cristina
Published: July 2017

This article evaluates the workings of public opinion in the Late Roman Republic through the analysis of the issue of corruption. It studies rumours, discussions and the debates in the contiones about cases of electoral, political and judicial corruption, as well as bribes from foreign ambassadors. All these discussions and comments led to a set of opinions and ideas about corruption, galvanised by the elite through different arguments. Furthermore, this article deliberates about the importance that the plebs attributed to the issue of corruption and, thus, about their involvement in political debates.
L’usurpazione di Silvano tra costrizione e brama di potere
Authors: Conti Stefano
Published: July 2017

Riassunto

Un’attenta analisi comparata della testimonianza di Ammiano Marcellino con le altre fonti letterarie, e le probabili epigrafiche, mette in nuova luce l’usurpazione di Silvano (355 d. C.). Prima di dare il via alla rivolta, il generale valutò con attenzione l’esistenza di gruppi sociali ostili a Constanzo II: innanzitutto la popolazione delle Gallie, vessata dall’ingordigia degli emissari imperiali, ma c’erano eminenti figure pro Silvano anche alla corte di Milano e tra i senatori di Roma. Le manovre ordite contro di lui da alti funzionari furono solo l’occasione perché Silvano sciogliesse le titubanze e desse il via alla sollevazione, comunque a lungo meditata. Egli era convinto non solo del sostegno dei suoi soldati, ma anche dei civili, avversi all’imperatore per ragioni politiche, economiche e forse religiose.

In conclusione l’usurpazione, più che dovuta agli intrighi di corte, come è stato spesso sostenuto, appare attentamente pianificata dallo stesso Silvano, forte dell’appoggio trasversale delle truppe, dei provinciali, ma anche di influenti personaggi italici.

Héctor Libertella, de la narración al ensayo. Una poética de la ficción teórica
Authors: Lopez Silvana
Published: July 2017

Resumen:Inscripta en la genealogía de Macedonio Fernández, Jorge Luis Borges y José Lezama Lima, la escritura de Héctor Libertella es una poética de la reescritura, de la exhibición desaforada de que la literatura es una operación de lectura, recorte y apropiación de lo ya escrito y de la literaturización de esa lectura. Esas operaciones son el caballo de Troya con las que Libertella trastorna los conceptos del realismo y las categorías de la metafísica proponiendo una literatura de la huella, descentrada, que se disemina y desvía a una multiplicidad sin dejarse reducir a una forma con un sentido único. Denunciados por Nietzsche como construcciones, la lengua, el sujeto, la forma, el tiempo, el espacio, son perturbados por la escritura libertelliana mediante maniobras citativas, intertextuales y transgenéricas. El escritor construye su escritura e inscribe su grafía manteniendo una posición “crítica” frente a la biblioteca que lee y ficcionaliza.
Efectividad en la selección de beneficiarios de los programas Avancemos y Bienestar Familiar
Authors: Delgado Jiménez Francisco
Published: July 2017

Este análisis se centra en dos programas sociales gestionados por el Instituto Mixto de Ayuda Social (IMAS), para combatir la pobreza: Avancemos y Bienestar Familiar. El objetivo principal de este estudio es identificar la efectividad en la asignación de los beneficios de los programas mencionados con el fin de corregir los mecanismos que a) han permitido a los no pobres obtener beneficios y b) han impedido que los hogares elegibles accedan a los beneficios. Datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares señalan importantes filtraciones y además una cobertura limitada de la población objetivo, que ponen en evidencia la necesidad de ajustar los mecanismos de focalización, de forma tal que la inversión social pública destinada a programas selectivos tenga incidencia en la reducción de la pobreza en Costa Rica.
Lūžę šonkauliai, praskeltos galvos: Vilniaus Švč. Trejybės cerkvėje palaidotų vienuolių sužalojimai
Authors: Kozakaitė Justina , Jakulis Martynas
Published: July 2017

Pasaulyje vykdomi vienuolynų bioarcheologiniai tyrinėjimai atskleidžia esminius skirtumus tarp pasaulietinio ir vienuolinio gyvenimo būdo, tačiau traumų analizės nepateikia didelių staigmenų – sužalotų vienuolių skaičius yra santykinai mažas. Todėl daromos prielaidos, kad vienuoliai nepriklauso rizikos grupei dėl specifinio gyvenimo būdo. 2015‒2016 m. vykdytų Vilniaus unitų Švč. Trejybės cerkvės kriptos tyrimų metu atidengti XVII‒XVIII a. bazilijonų vienuolių palaidojimai leido tyrinėti ir rašytiniuose šaltiniuose menkai atsispindinčią vienuolių gyvenimo pusę ‒ bendrą jų sveikatos būklę, patologijas ir patirtas traumas. Straipsnyje, pasiremiant osteologine medžiaga ir istoriniais šaltiniais, analizuojamos vienuolių patirtos traumos, jų mechanizmas ir galimas poveikis sveikatai. Tyrimas atskleidė vienuolių traumatizmo tendencijas, kurioms būdingi dažni šonkaulių lūžiai, smurtinės žaizdos ir didelės energijos sužalojimai. Gauti rezultatai patvirtina, kad vienuoliai nebuvo labiau nei kitos visuomenės grupės ap­saugoti nuo rizikos patirti įvairaus pobūdžio traumas.

NUSIKALSTAMŲ VEIKŲ KVALIFIKAVIMAS IR EUROPOS SĄJUNGOS TEISINGUMO TEISMO JURISPRUDENCIJA
Authors: Bieliūnas Egidijus
Published: July 2017

Straipsnyje apžvelgiama nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimo ir jo teorijos santykio su ES Teisingumo Teismo atitinkama jurisprudencija būklė ir perspektyvos. Lietuvos teisės moksle ši problematika kol kas nebuvo tirta. Pirmasis žvilgsnis į ją rodo, kad kvalifikavimo reikmių požiūriu Teisingumo Teismo jurisprudencija lieka išsklaidyta ir nepakankamai žinoma, nors turi akivaizdaus teisinio potencialo, reikšmingo kvalifikavimo taisyklėms suvokti ir taikyti. Tai ypač matyti kalbant apie kvalifikavimo standartus, gaunamus derinant nacionalinės ir ES teisės nuostatas. Išsakoma originali idėja, kad jurisprudencijos atranka, sisteminimas ir pristatymas gali būti pradėti pasinaudojant Teisingumo Teismo sprendimų pavyzdžiais, iliustruojančiais svarbiausias kvalifikavimo kaip teisinio reiškinio savybes. Pateikiama keliolika atitinkamai sugrupuotų jurisprudencijos pavyzdžių, kurie leidžia patikslinti principinius kvalifikavimo komponentus: veikas, jų teisinio vertinimo standartus, kvalifikavimą atliekančius subjektus, jų kompetenciją, taip pat kvalifikavimo operacijų inicijavimo ar draudimo jas atlikti teisines ištakas. Ši pirminė analizė, o dar labiau jos tolesnis plėtojimas gali būti naudingi tiek nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimo praktikai, tiek jo teorijai.

Critical Issues in Food Allergy: A National Academies Consensus Report
Authors: Sicherer Scott H. , Allen Katrina , Lack Gideon , Taylor Steve L. , Donovan Sharon M. , Oria Maria
Published: July 2017

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an expert, ad hoc committee to examine critical issues related to food allergy. The authors of the resulting report, “Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy: Assessment of the Global Burden, Causes, Prevention, Management, and Public Policy,” evaluated the scientific evidence on the prevalence, diagnosis, prevention, and management of food allergy and made recommendations to bring about a safe environment for those affected. The committee recommended approaches to monitor prevalence, explore risk factors, improve diagnosis, and provide evidence-based health care. Regarding diagnostics, emphasis was placed on utilizing allergy tests judiciously in the context of the medical history because positive test results are not, in isolation, diagnostic. Evidence-based prevention strategies were advised (for example, a strategy to prevent peanut allergy through early dietary introduction). The report encourages improved education of stakeholders for recognizing and managing as well as preventing allergic reactions, including an emphasis on using intramuscular epinephrine promptly to treat anaphylaxis. The report recommends improved food allergen labeling and evaluation of the need for epinephrine autoinjectors with a dosage appropriate for infants. The committee recommended policies and guidelines to prevent and treat food allergic reactions in a various settings and suggested research priorities to address key questions about diagnostics, mechanisms, risk determinants, and management. Identifying safe and effective therapies is the ultimate goal. This article summarizes the key findings from the report and emphasizes recommendations for actions that are applicable to pediatricians and to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

We studied the impact of nitrate and cadmium load on protein and nitrogen metabolism in young cattle. The feeding with forage of sodium nitrate at a dose of 0.15 g NO3/kg and cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg of body weight leads to a violation of protein and nitrogen exchange, as indicated by the low levels of urea, total protein and high levels of ammonia.

We registered that the lowest urea content in blood serum of research bulls was on the 20th day of the experiment. The combined use of nitrate and cadmium on the animals was accompanied with a greater reduction of urea concentration in their blood, caused by sodium nitrate. The gradual reduction of urea in the blood serum of bulls indicated reduced activity of metabolic processes in an organism of bulls and inhibition of functional capacity of the liver to synthesize proteins.

Under the influence of nitrites and cadmium in our experiments in an organism of bulls was set the decrease in total protein in serum, depending on the intensity of met hemoglobin formation and the level of aggressive forms of oxygen, are formed after the activation of these processes. The changes of total protein level in the blood serum can be considered as suppression of protein synthesizing liver function.

Calves feeding with sodium nitrate and cadmium chloride promoted significant increase of ammonia in the blood serum than just feeding of calves with sodium nitrate. On the twentieth day of the experiment the level of ammonia in the second experimental group of animals was higher by 53% towards the control.

The authors have investigated the effect of different sources of metonin in the diets of quails on their productivity and carcass quality. Experimental studies were carried out with Pharaoh quails in Problematic Research Laboratory of Feed Additives in the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The experiment was carried out by method of groups-analogues. Compound feed were fed in dry crumbled form; young birds were fed in a group. The daily amount of compound feed was divided in two parts – morning and evening rations with different sources of metonin (DL- metonin, L-metonin and МНА)).

We have found that compound feed with the L-metonin contributes to live body weight increase by 5.3% or 13 g, average daily growth by 5.9 % or 0.37 g, reduces feed conversion by 2.1%, increases the mass of not gutted carcass, semi gutted carcass and gutted carcass of 12.5 (6.2%), 12.5 (6.2%), and 10.5 g (6.4%); increases the mass of pectoral muscles and muscles of the pelvic limbs by 7.37 and 6.49 g (18.2% and 24.5%) and mass of liver by 0.94 g. Use of diets with MНA and DL-methionine did not significantly effect the productivity and carcass quality, whereas entry to the diet of MNA increased feed conversion by 5.4%. During the study period the safety of livestock which was fed with different sources of metonin ranged from 93 to 96%.

We believed the further research are needed to examine the impact of different sources of metonin on the egg production of egg-laying quails, morphological and chemical composition of eggs and their hatching quality.

We observed the diversity of lichens at different levels of aerotechnogenic pollution of industrial mining – metallurgical complex of Krivyi Rig Basin. We registered the reduction of vegetation cover and reducing of the size of thallus in the highway area with undesirable living conditions to lichens. We suggested that specific composition and distribution patterns of cladinas is subject of the industrial loading. Most of lichen species are tolerant to urbanization and widely distributed in the built-up area of industrial mining, whereas only a few lichens sensitive to urbanization were recorded. We registered the domination of crustaceous cladinas with insignificant participation of fissile cladinas and complete absence of bushy forms that could be possible consequence of industrial influence.

Northern Azov is unique region in origin and conditions, which modern flora developed in conditions of active human economic activities. Anthropogenic transformations have resulted to changes in vegetation cover and wild plant communities are transformed into synanthropic floral complexes.

The results achieved through our expeditionary studies conducted in 2013-2016 in the Northern Azov (in the administrative boundaries of the cities Berdyansk, Primorsk (Zaporizhia region), and Genichesk (Kherson region).

In addition, we provided a brief description of their habitats and described new locations for new and previously marked aboriginal, alien, and cultivated plants that are capable of savagery for Northern Azov flora. Among all annotated species the significant proportion are the alien species that fall out of cultivation.
Cluster analysis, fuzzy sets, and fuzzy logic models in bird identification

Published: July 2017

In our resent research (Osadchiy at al., 2016) we considered the mathematical model for the identifying of bird species according to the results of inaccurate field measurements. We used the total length of the bird, the wingspan, the wingbeat frequency, and the flight as the input factors of the model. Testing the model on a hypothetical case of identifying some target species, like Rook, Common raven, Mallard, White Stork, and Lapwing revealed that this model can be used for bird species identification with definite limitations. However, in previous model we applied the recognition algorithm that was based on the classical sections of mathematical statistics. The limitations of those model are obvious - it does not take into account many characteristics and behavioral features of birds that cannot be represented in numerical form, like diurnal activity pattern and flocking behavior. In this case the possibility of using the traditional sections of mathematical statistics is quite limited. The present study is devoted to the development of a mathematical method for the identifying of the bird species that based on cluster analysis with fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets which extends the possibilities of the algorithm that was previously proposed in our research.

Published: July 2017

In Western Siberia, the problem of obtaining full-fledged sprouts of cereal crops is due to hydrothermal conditions in the period of sowing-shoots, pests and diseases, and agronomical methods of sowing. In case of the direct sowing of cereal crops, the most common types of working organs of sowing machines are the V-sharped coulter, chisel and disc. The effectiveness of their use in the dry steppe of the Altai Territory has been poorly studied. To establish the most effective seed coulter in 26 farms in the dry part of the region, the studies were carried out from 2005 to 2012 on seeders with double disc coulters, with V-sharped coulters of domestic and foreign production, and with chisel-type coulters. The years of research (2006-2011) were characterized by a moisture supply below the average (vegetation rainfall was 80% of the norm), and in 2012 - as an acute drought (40% of the norm). The most effective seeders in the cultivation of spring wheat in the dry steppe are seeders equipped with chisel-type coulters. They allow better preservation of soil moisture (by 17-28 mm to control) during the sowing period, improving the quality of crops, field germinating by 4.8 - 12.0%, and increasing the yield of wheat. In the arid year of 2012, it amounted to 1.26 t/ha after fallow, 0.88 t/ha after peas, 0.46 t/ha after wheat, respectively, at 0.64, 0.59 and 0.25 t/ha for control (two-disc coulter SZP-3,6). Seeders with V-sharped coulters of domestic and foreign production, for wheat yields did not differ significantly, but exceeded the control under the conditions of the arid year by 0.21-0.59 t/ha, depending on the forecrop.

Published: July 2017

The anatomical and morphological structure of vegetative organs Adenium obesum of different ages of the preregenerative period were investigated. It is known that plants of this type are included in the list of CITEC, as their numbers in nature is constantly decreasing. The representatives of Adenium obesum is a popular ornamental plant, and characterized by broad medical and biological characteristics (antibacterial, anti–cancer, antiviral, antioxidant, etc.). The plants of this type belong to the succulents by thickening of the basal part of the stem. However, scientific information regarding the anatomical and morphological researches, characteristics and formation of thickened basal part of the stem is not enough known. As a result of investigations it was found, that after germination the hypocotyl part of plants constantly increase and thickens to form a thickened basal part of the stem. The thickening occurs of the cortical–medullary type. The upper part of the stem and general root significantly thickening only in border areas of the basal part. The periderm formation in the early stages of ontogenesis of A. obesum probably caused by adaptation to life in the arid climate conditionsIt also became known that the representatives of this type are well developed the excretory tissue as non–articulate lactiferous vessels, which, our opinion, are, synthesized most biologically active substances. Confirmed that succulent, woody plant Adenium obesum is caudiciform plant and in the growth process forming «caudex».

We studied the main reasons caused the agricultural crop variety regards 137Cs uptake and translocation from the soil. The cereal grains - oats (Avena sativa L.), Sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare L.), and millet seed (Panicum milaceum L.); grain legume – yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.), and fodder crop - annual ryegrass (Lutium multiflorum Lam) were considered in our research. The transpiration, transpiration coefficient, relative transpiration, multiplicity of decrease in the specific activity of 137Cs in phytomass towards experimental variants and control, the intensity of the bioleaching process of 137Cs, the specific surfaces of rhizosphere, the rhizosphere surface density of root charges, and constants of roots and soil ion conductivity were used to calculate the 137Cs leaching from the soil by different crops. We used special model that considered the effect of double electrostatic fields of the rhizosphere and soil on the ion flux to calculate the 137Cs bioleaching from the soil by various crops. We suggested that the conductivity of the root-soil interface was the main reason of specific variation in the 137Cs leaching from the soil. We ranged the studied crops according to the decrease of 137Cs leaching from sod-podzolic sandy soil: yellow lupine, sultan grass – oats seed – millet seed – perennial ryegrass.

Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for normal functioning of living organisms. It is distributed in inorganic and organic forms in marine and freshwater systems, in soils, biomass, and atmosphere. Its distribution patterns in terrestrial ecosystems have great diversity. There are biogeochemical provinces with selenium deficiency and toxic concentrations of this trace element. Variability of biochemical characteristics of soil and water in different regions of the world makes significant differences in the content of selenium in plants. The total content of selenium in plants depends on several factors: soil type, pH, redox potential reserves of selenium in soils, selenium compounds form (available or unavailable), precipitation, temperature and growth stage of the plant.

There is a correlation between the content of selenium in the soil and feed on plants, on the one hand, and animals and birds – on the other. Cereal crops, animals and birds, grown in soils of different types of ecosystems are included in human food chain, therefore food is a major source of selenium for human organism. Selenium status of the population varies, from 10 g-3/day in selenium deficient regions to 1400 g-3/day in regions with selenium toxicity.

Large number of countries are characterized by moderate and low levels of selenium intake from foods of plant-grower and stock-raising. Inadequate flow of it in the body (depending on the degree of deficiency) could lead to physiological changes within the normal regulation or significant metabolic disorders or cause the specific diseases, since selenium deficiency is associated with more than 75 different diseases and pain symptoms. The only way of selenium contamination increase in human organism is the selen inclusion in the diet enriched with such micronutrient, like poultry meat.

The selenium-enriched dietary meat product can be considered as biocorrection food and iIts consumption will contribute to the prevention of hiposelenoz. Nevertheles, there is a narrow range between the recommended rates (50–120 g-3/day) and the maximum permissible level of selenium consumption (400 g-3/day) while at high concentrations it can cause toxic effects in human body. Further comprehensive environmental and toxicological studies of migration patterns and levels of selenium in the environment should be done to minimize adverse effects to human health associated with dangerous concentrations of selenium.

*** Anal lesion caused by human papillomavirus in a woman living with HIV/AIDS ***AIMS: To describe a case of anal lesion caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a woman living with HIV/AIDS.CASE DESCRIPTION: A 35-year-old woman, diagnosed with HIV five years ago, reported pruritus ani, anal bleeding, painful defecation, and presence of small warts in the perianal region. The patient was seen at a specialized care center and was subjected to clinical examination with visual inspection, which revealed perianal condyloma. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of moderate to severe dysplasia associated with HPV-compatible changes. The anal lesion was excised. At the onset of the symptoms, the patient was not on antiretroviral therapy and her HIV viral load was at its highest (2,951 copies/mL) compared with her previous laboratory tests. She had gone through emotional stress and presented with recurrent genital herpes simplex virus infections. These factors may have predisposed her to the development of anal condyloma.CONCLUSIONS: Since HIV infection may alter the history of HPV infection, it is important that screening strategies include cytological analysis of both the cervix and the anal region.

In this work it was developed marker-free transgenic indica rice plants (cv J-104) by biolistic co-transformation and segregation approach. We attempted to express the NmDef02 antifungal defensin. Primary transformants were regenerated from embryogenic callus on culture medium with 50 mg/L hygromycin. Screening of hpt-marker-free transgenic lines was made by PCR in T1 progeny lines, germinated on semisolid medium without hygromycin. Relative expression of NmDef02 mRNA was examined by quantitative RT-PCR in marker-free T1 plants. In vitro antifungal test was performed by disk diffusion assay against Sarocladium oryzae. PCR assay verified that 15.12% of T1 plants were marker-free (NmDef02+/hpt−). RT-PCR analysis indicated that NmDef02 gene was successfully transcribed and the transgenic lines displayed different expression levels of the NmDef02 cDNA. Protein extracts of marker-free lines with high relative expression of NmDef02 inhibited fungus mycelial growth around disks. In contrast, it was confirmed fungus proliferation on disks impregnated with protein extracts of non-transgenic plants. The results of the present work demonstrated that the expression of the NmDef02 defensin in transgenic rice plants is effective against the phytopathogenic fungus Sarocladium oryzae under in vitro conditions. Thus, NmDef02 defensin could be a useful tool for J-104 rice improvement.

Abstract:

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare disease with high phenotypic heterogeneity, characterized by the appearance of multiplex hamartomas in the different organs. The disease is inherited by autosomal dominant manner, due to the mutations of two genes: the TSC1 or the TSC2. In this publication we present the cases of two young male and two middle-aged female patients, where pathogenetic differences of TSC1/TSC2 could not be verified by Sanger sequencing. However, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification confirmed different sizes of deletions in different regions of the TSC2 gene. All patients carry the typical clinical signs of the disease. However, the individual phenotypic variability is very different. With this manuscript, we would like to draw attention to the relative frequent rate of gross gene deletions.

Abstract:

Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disease, which shows familial clustering. Aim: We would like to emphasize the importance of monitoring the HNPCC syndrome patients by presenting a case of a proven MMR gene mutation carrier and her family tree encompassing 10 years. Materials and method: To screen a suspected HNPCC Hungarian family member we are taking thorough family histories. If the diagnosis of HNPCC was further supported by immunohistology and the microsatellite status, sequencing of the MMR genes was carried out. Results: A novel mutation in exon 6 of the hMSH2 gene leading to the deletion of two nucleotide pairs [c.969-970delTC] was detected in our patient. During the 10-year follow-up period of our patient new HNPCC-associated tumors have developed in several family members. Conslusion: Close surveillance of the patient and its family members at risk was effective, although it requires compliance from the subjects. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(30): 1182–1187.

Wasatiyyah and Islamic Values in Reinforcing Malay Muslim Ethnic Relations: A Case Study of Thai Wasatiyyah Institute for Peace and Development in Thailand
Authors: Dorloh Sulaiman , Yusuf Kamarussalam Bin
Published: July 2017

The Wasatiyyah or moderation Institute for Peace and Development was initiated by the current Chularajmontri, Aziz Pithakkompon on 21th August 2014, with the aims of fostering harmony among the diverse ethnics in the country and providing a counter-balance to extremism and extremist as it is taking place in various parts of the world and promoting moderation and peace among Muslims in Thai society. The concept of wasatiyyah or moderation is appropriate to be highlighted and practiced in Thai society to curb extremist activities in all matters. Even though some negative perceptions were voiced by a few parties, but the actual intentions could result in a decline of racial strains, as being moderate has been the practice of the Malay community and its leaders for ages. In fact, this approach has contributed to the success of the Malay community in the Deep South in securing the Malay indentity from their Buddhist neighburs in the country, without having to resort to spilling a lot of blood. Based on previous research, it was observed that the concept of wasatiyyah had a great influence on the Malays, as it had a strong link with the Islamic values that have been embedded in the Malay community. The Islamic values are the main elements that shape the Malays’ conduct, and it is the results of interaction with social norms, for it has bred certain social values that include compromise, modesty, respect and cooperation as transpired when Malays interact among themselves or with other communities.  The main goal for the institution to maintain peace and harmony in the society. Based on textual analysis, the study determines that the concept of wasatiyyah concept or moderation is part of the social values borne out of the Malays’ values based on Islamic teachings. Hence, the question is, to what extent does the wasatiyyah concept implemented in the institute. In order to answer the question above, this study has set two main objectives. First, to identify the wasatiyyah concept in Islamic law; and second, to analyse its implementation in the institude. The qualitative study in the form of exploratory and descriptive approach used the content analysis method. The content analysis method was used to identify and analyse the wasatiyyah concept in Islamic law and also to analyse the implementation of the wasatiyyah concept in the institute.
Social Capital: Strategy of Takmir of Jogokariyan Mosque on Developing the Worshipers
Authors: Hidayat Wahyu Panca
Published: July 2017

This paper discusses a phenomenon of mosque’s worshipers as a social capital. Jogokariyan Mosque is, named after the village, located in Special District of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and has a dynamic worshiper based on its activities. Dynamic because its activities could establish trustworthiness among them. Historically, existence of Muhammadiyah, as an Islamic dakwah body, since 1960s constructs norms that refer to Islamic values. The length of existence of Muhammadiyah movement builds unique networking among the alumni of Takmir of Jogokariyan Mosque, which then is used to support mosque’s movements. Thus, social capital analysis based on Robert D. Putnam’s perspective, which contains norms, networks, and trust is relevant to draw social capital phenomenon in Jogokariyan village with mosque as the key of this movement.
Holding the Accountability Problem Accountable: Response Mechanisms to Counter-Majoritarian Decisions
Authors: Bridge Dave
Published: July 2017

If the Supreme Court rules against the wishes of the majority, how can that majority respond?  I argue that while federal judges will never stand for election, majorities can employ various response mechanisms to counter-majoritarian decisions.  I draw out observable expectations for inter-branch, local, and electoral responses.  I then test these expectations in cases from the “mature” New Deal—communism, school prayer, busing, and abortion—showing the range of effective results achieved by anti-Court majorities.  Given these results, I conclude that there is no “accountability problem”; there is just a narrow definition of accountability.
Institutional Effects on the Careers of State Supreme Court Justices
Authors: Curry Todd A. , Hurwitz Mark S.
Published: July 2017

We contend a direct connection exists between risk of removal from the bench and the length of judicial careers, as institutional mechanisms present varying but predictable degrees of risk to justices.  Using event history modeling, we analyze the duration of judicial tenures and resultant levels of risk provided by selection methods.  We demonstrate that justices in partisan elections have the shortest tenures and greatest risk of departure.  By contrast, the Missouri Plan evidenced the longest careers, offering a trivial amount of risk to justices.  We show that the length of judicial careers are, in part, a function of the institutional design of selection and retention systems.
