Agreements and Relationships of Market Actors for Mindanao Yellow Corn
Authors: Calica Gigi Bernardo , Eleria Nancy L.
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to understand the relationships among the different actors involved in the handling practices of marketing yellow corn from Mindanao to Cebu and Manila focusing on the agreements and trust rating among the marketing actors. Descriptive analysis was employed in this study.

Results showed that the agreements among the marketing actors were all informal arrangements. Asymmetric information was evident on the farmers in the marketing chain because they were not properly informed by the other actors along the chain on the quality requirement of the end users resulting only to high production costs.

Results indicated that farmers trusted those they dealt with directly in the traditional system. Traders had some trust to both the farmers and processor/feedmillers because of the risks involved on his investment. Processors/integrators had complete trust with each other because they were the direct link from the source. Between the distributors and the feedmillers, trust was reciprocated because they were dependent to each other regarding the supply of corn.

In the bulk handing system, farmers and processor/shippers had some trust with each other because processor/shippers dealt with several farmers to accumulate stocks same as the farmer who could choose whom to sell his produce.

The frequent exchange of information and transparency of information creates trust in buyer-supplier relationships in the value chain thereby producing good quality corn. Moreover, aggressive promotion through trainings, publications and other media forms on the adoption of bulk handling system must be implemented by the government.

Key words: agreement, asymmetric information, trust, transparency, reciprocity, corn, marketing

MODEL PENGEMBANGAN PEMBELAJARAN PAI BERBASIS LIVING VALUES EDUCATION (LVE)
Authors: Harto Kasinyo
Published: July 2018

In fact, the realistic-empirical data shows that the morality and character of the nation is now degraded, thus in itself inviting various calamities and disasters that extend to the social, religious, and political spheres, even in education. The general public indirectly blames educators from elementary to college, as the party most responsible for the deterioration of this nation in its mindset and behavior patterns that are inconsistent with the guidance of the world's citizens who should be cultured and dignified.

Religious education in this case Islamic Education, hereinafter referred to as PAI, should be the basis of morality. But today it seems to have been seen as having lost its vital role in the effort to form the character of the nation's child morality. This is due to the fact that PAI learning practices have only been concerned only with cognitive aspects and ignored the fostering of affective aspects, namely the willingness and determination to practice the values ​​of religious teachings. This imbalance results in a gap between knowledge and experience, between theory and practice, or in the practice of religious education transformed into religious teaching, thus unable to form moral persons. As an effort of ijtihad to restore the essence, function and strategic role of learning of PAI in the formation of morals of the nation of this research is done with the principal of research problem, that is through improvement and development of PAI quality learning model for character formation of learners by using Living Values ​​Education paradigm.

The purpose of this research is to design and formulate the learning model of PAI based on living values ​​education and how to implement it in learning process of PAI. Then, this research includes library research, therefore the steps that will be carried out is the exploration of some data from various literatures, both primary data, and secondary data. The method of collecting data is done by collecting books, articles, journals, scientific opinion in which to reveal and study living values ​​education, then look for writing about the learning of Islamic religious education. The data analysis technique using descriptive-analytic method. The data have been analyzed and then presented with deductive methods that depart from general theory to lead to the conclusion which is the answer of the research problem formulation.

Authors: Dias Marialice Antão de Oliveira , Dias Antonio Augusto Souza
Published: July 2018

Este artigo traz uma breve reflexão sobre a educação levando em conta a mulher do campo num contexto de desenvolvimento sustentável, trazemos algumas considerações sobre a educação brasileira, a educação do campo e a educação ambiental objetivando absorver da mulher campesina uma consciência crítica de seus direitos como cidadã e de seus deveres como agente de produção, incutindo nesta mulher uma preocupação com uma produção economicamente viável e ecologicamente sustentável que lhe permitaviver no campo e do campo em harmonia com a biodiversidade. A violência constitui-se o maior desafio enfrentado pela mulher nas atividades campesinas. O problema da degradação ambiental afeta primeiro as crianças, que nascerão hoje, que futuramente herdarão a terra e seu futuro está em nossas mãos. Asmulheres produzem 60 a 80% dos alimentos na maioria dos países em desenvolvimento e respondem por metade da produção mundial de alimentos. No entanto, apenas recentemente o seu papel fundamental como produtores e fornecedores de alimentos e a sua contribuição vital para a segurança alimentar das famílias receberam a atenção que merecem.
Comparative Reconstruction of Proto-Mojeño and the Diversification of Mojeño Dialects
Authors: Carvalho Fernando de , Rose Françoise
Published: July 2018

This paper addresses nine open issues in the historical phonology of Mojeño, an Arawakan language of Bolivia. We propose solutions to these problems by postulating reconstructed forms for Proto-Mojeño based on a comparison of the two extant varieties of the language, Ignaciano and Trinitario, and on 17th century sources on Old Mojeño. Contrarily to a recent claim, we argue that the contrast between *n and *ɲ can be straightforwardly reconstructed for Proto-Mojeño. We suggest that the marginally contrastive opposition between s and ʃ in Ignaciano derives from sound symbolism. We argue for a contrast between *a and *o in Proto-Mojeño that was later lost in Ignaciano. We reconstruct the accentual system of Proto-Mojeño, as a basis for explaining diachronic rhythmic syncope in Trinitario. Syncope of vowels in weak metrical positions accounts for the emergence of consonant clusters and morphophonological alternations in Trinitario. Besides, hiatus resolution has led to the phonologization of the consonant /c/, while the vowel /ə͡e / emerged from a process of monophthongization. Indirect consequences of Trinitario rhythmic syncope are the phonologization of the consonant /ç/, consonant loss and the development of phonological vowel length. An appendix presents 190 Proto-Mojeño reconstructions and cognate sets.
A frente performática de atuação do dramaturgo na cena contemporânea
Authors: Rodrigues Eder
Published: July 2018

Este artigo analisa a aproximação dos campos da dramaturgia e da performance, mobilizando apontamentos em torno dos territórios e das fronteiras de suas bases epistemológicas e processuais. A discussão teórica parte de Richard Schechner, Erika Fischer-Lichte, Renato Cohen, Denise Pedron e Ana Pais, com foco na investigação sobre como os desdobramentos dos princípios da performance contaminam o pensamento e a práxis da escrita para o palco. Nessa perspectiva, discute-se o redimensionamento do trabalho do dramaturgo e seu papel simbólico na gênese criativa, principalmente quando sua atuação incorpora uma frente performática e a dramaturgia passa a ser entendida como campo expandido.

ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCEON HYBRID NANOCOMPOSITES BASED ON NATURAL RUBBER
Authors: Ivanoska-Dacikj Aleksandra , Bogoeva-Gaceva Gordana , Valić Srećko
Published: July 2018

Electron spin resonance (ESR) was used as a new method to analyze the synergy between two nanofillers dif-ferent by nature, form and rigidity dispersed in natural rubber matrix. Natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites loaded with fixed amount of carbon nanotubes (2 parts per hundred of rubber parts; phr) and various amounts of expanded organically modified montmorillonite (EOMt, 4–20 phr) were investigated. The dependence of the double integral of the resonance spectra on the amount of EOMt present in the natural rubber was established. Its decrease with an in-creaseof the amount of EOMt confirmed the synergy between these two nanofillers. Also DMA temperature sweep measurements were performed and the cluster-cluster aggregation (CCA) model was used to assess the apparent filler networking energy. The obtained results suggest that the presence of the EOMt above a critical amount strengthens the hybrid-filler networking.

In recent years, activities undertaken to reduce environmental impacts – such as recycling and reusing – have been increasing in popularity. For manufacturing companies, designing and using a closed-loop supply chain can help meet social responsibility objectives and enhance competitiveness. A closed-loop supply chain requires the accurate prediction of not only demand but also returned products; however, in the literature, the quantity of returned products is assumed to be dependent on demand. Importantly, the quantity of returned products is influenced by past demand and use periods. Further, some returned products may be treated as end-of-life products, because of quality deterioration. The purpose of this study is to design a closed-loop supply chain model in the context of returned product quantities as affected by past demand, use period, and extra demand, in order to analyze system performance. Herein, the quantity of demand influences the quantity of returned products, and hence the quantity of reusable products. Moreover, the dynamics of returned products, demand, and reusable products will also significantly influence production planning. In this study, fluctuations in the quantity of returned products influence not only production planning but also future demand fluctuations. The results of numerical examples derived from using the model proposed in this study clarify that the quantities of reusable products and manufactured products will fluctuate depending on the return rate, given policies that prioritize the sale of reusable products. This finding suggests that manufacturers need to consider reducing their environmental impact as well as establishing production planning and inventory control policies that contain fluctuations in the quantities of reusable and manufactured products.

It is vital for cultural properties to be passed down between generations. Therefore, this study focuses on conservation techniques and discusses a system that provides appropriate automation to prevent the destruction of the value of cultural properties and conservation techniques. Manufacturing companies have improved productivity by rapidly replacing humans with machines. Because of this, the techniques of skilled persons who have gained experience with products over time by maintaining and repairing them are not being inherited by their successors. This has resulted in many manufacturers ceasing production or going out of business. Cultural properties are strongly associated with tradition and tacit knowledge. This makes it more difficult to maintain and reproduce them than common products. Thus, rather than a simple replacement of people and machines, support through applying automation that enhances human abilities is required. This study investigates Japan and a developed country, Denmark, in terms of conservation. On the basis of mutual understanding gained by investigating the state of mutual conservation in the two countries, we summarize the problems and efforts related to tacit knowledge sharing. We used a qualitative research method called ethnographical inquiry to find tacit knowledge underlying the techniques and influences of culture in Japan and Denmark. This study features empirical findings on the appropriate use of both automation that replaces humans with machines and automation that enhances human abilities.
О чужеродных видах полихет в российской части Юго-Восточной Балтики
Authors: Кочешкова О. В. , Ежова Е. Е.
Published: July 2018

Климатические изменения и антропогенное воздействие обусловили многочисленные случаи вселения и расширение границ ареалов гидробионтов. В Вислинском и Куршском заливах ― солоноватоводных акваториях с развитой портовой инфраструктурой и активным судоходством ― в конце XX ― начале XXI в. неоднократно были зарегистрированы виды, не отмечавшиеся ранее в районе исследования. Цель настоящей работы ― охарактеризовать случаи вселения чужеродных полихет в российской Юго-Восточной Балтике, в т. ч. в Куршском и Вислинском заливах. Материал для исследования ― бентосные пробы из российской исключительной экономической зоны в ЮВБ (139 станций, 2001–2016 гг.), из Вислинского (45 станций, 1997–2016 гг.) и Куршского (24 станции, 2001–2016 гг.) заливов. Материал хранится в фондовых коллекциях ИО РАН. Северная часть Куршского залива и юго-западная часть Вислинского охарактеризованы по литературным источникам. С 1880-х гг., т. е. на протяжении более чем 100 лет, полихеты в Вислинском заливе были представлены только Hediste diversicolor. С конца XX в. регистрируются новые для региона виды: Marenzelleria neglecta (с 1988 г.); Streblospio benedicti, Manayunkia aestuarina, Alkmaria romijni (с середины 1990-х гг.); Boccardiella ligerica (с 2008 г. в юго-западной части залива, с 2013 г. в северо-восточной); Laonome cf. calida (с 2014 г.). В Куршском заливе полихеты (M. neglecta) встречаются только в северной (литовской) части акватории. В российской части ЮВБ полихеты р. Marenzelleria регистрируются с 1988 г., M. arctia ― с 2001 г.; S. benedicti и B. ligerica ― с начала XXI в. Итак, в морской акватории ЮВБ зарегистрированы 3 полихеты-вселенца, в Вислинском заливе ― 5 видов, в Куршском ― 1. Вселившиеся виды ― эстуарные, солоноватоводные организмы инфауны, нативный ареал которых ― Западная и Восточная Атлантика, юго-западная часть Тихого океана. Показано, что солёностные условия более благоприятны для изучаемых видов в море, трофические ― в заливах. Оптимальный для полихет-вселенцев комплекс факторов сложился в мелководном солоноватом Вислинском заливе, благодаря наличию района с солёностью не ниже 3,7–5,9 ‰, преобладанию мягких илистых осадков, обилию органики, а также отсутствию существенной трофической конкуренции. Приведены сведения о распространении, встречаемости, показателях обилия, статусе популяций полихет-вселенцев.

Published: July 2018

Впервые на четырёх гидрографических станциях в Азовском море проведены съёмка полей биолюминесценции, значений температуры и электропроводности и анализ видового состава микропланктона. В период дневных измерений получены также вертикальные профили фотосинтетически активной радиации. Практически на всех станциях параллельно измерениям поля биолюминесценции осуществлён отбор проб микропланктона сетями Джеди и батометрами для последующего анализа его видового состава и количественного распределения. Исследования проведены в зимний, весенний и летний периоды на унифицированной сетке станций. Зарегистрирована выраженная сезонная изменчивость интегральных величин поля биолюминесценции и его вертикальной структурированности в Азовском море. Минимальные величины интенсивности поля биолюминесценции в Азовском море (6,05·10-12 Вт·см-2·л-1 на глубине 4 м) зафиксированы в зимний период. Основной причиной этого является низкая (0,5–1,5 °С) температура воды в конце января ― начале февраля, обусловившая малочисленность светящихся планктонтов. С началом весеннего прогрева вод (температура воды 12,5 °С) интенсифицируется развитие одноклеточного планктона и наблюдается повышение интенсивности биолюминесценции в придонном слое до 34,8·10-12 Вт·см-2·л-1. В летний период зафиксированы максимальные величины интенсивности биолюминесценции (до 634,4·10-12 Вт·см-2·л-1) при температуре воды в среднем 27,5 °С и максимальной численности и биомассе светящейся фракции фитопланктона. Полученные результаты указывают на корреляцию биолюминесценции и численности планктонных организмов и позволяют рекомендовать этот оптический метод для мониторинга продукционных районов Азовского моря.

Published: July 2018

ABSTRAKTWstęp: Prewencja wtórna pozwala zmniejszyć odsetek umieralności z powodu chorób układu krążenia (ChUK). Kluczową rolę w tym zakresie odgrywa promocja zdrowia i kampanie profilaktyczne. Farmaceuci w myśl założeń „Dobrej Praktyki Farmaceutycznej” powinni być w nie czynnie zaangażowani. Zweryfikowano wiedzę studentów kierunku farmacja na temat zachowań prewencyjnych chorób sercowo-naczyniowych, znajomości norm ciśnienia tętniczego krwi i badań biochemicznych oraz ich wpływu na ryzyko wystąpienia ChUK. Zbadano także świadomość edukacyjnej roli farmaceuty w propagowaniu pro­zdrowotnego stylu życia pacjentów oraz doradztwie w zakresie zapobiegania ChUK.Materiały i metody: Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego, wykorzystując autorski kwestionariusz ankiety, który wypełniło 156 studentów (123 kobiety i 33 mężczyzn) III i IV roku kierunku farmacja Śląskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Katowicach. Wyniki: Badania profilaktyczne raz w roku wykonuje 11% kobiet oraz 3% mężczyzn. W ogóle badań profilaktycznych w kierunku ChUK nie wykonuje 37% kobiet oraz 39% mężczyzn. Prawidłową wartość ciśnienia tętniczego krwi podało 94% kobiet i 97% mężczyzn. Prawidłowe stężenie glukozy w osoczu krwi zna 77% kobiet oraz 58% mężczyzn. Prawidłowe stężenie cholesterolu całkowitego podało 43% kobiet i 42% mężczyzn. Ankietowani byli zdania, że magister farmacji powinien doradzać pacjentowi w zakresie zapobiegania ChUK (99% kobiet i 100% mężczyzn). Poddanie się badaniom profilaktycznym sugerowałoby pacjentom 82% kobiet i 82% mężczyzn, a wizytę u lekarza zaleciłoby 65% kobiet i 58% mężczyzn. Stwierdzenie, że magister farmacji w świetle obowiązujących przepisów może doradzać pacjentowi w zakresie zapobiegania ChUK, uznało 81% kobiet i 79% mężczyzn. Wnioski: Otrzymane wyniki sugerują, że wiedza o prewencji chorób sercowo-naczyniowych powinna być stale poszerzana w grupie studentów farmacji, a kształtowanie postaw pro­zdrowotnych należałoby uwzględnić również w edukacji szkół wyższych.

Published: July 2018

Vegetation on earth surface is the integral part of the world ecosystems in functioning for varying spatial and temporal scales. Along with other benefits, land-use as a forest can dramatically reduce the soil erosion and water pollution by protecting the soil surface from erosive effects of rainfall. The objective of this study was to determine rill/interrill (surface) erosion risk by using the RUSLE equation for Velikoy sub-watershed (417 km2) which has rich forest-resources within the Coruh River Basin located at northeastern Turkey. Land use and cover (C factor), rainfall and runoff (R factor), soil erodibility (K factor), slope length and steepness (LS factor), and management support practice (P factor) were identified as the sub-factors for the RUSLE equation and were multiplied to estimate soil loss by rill/interrill erosion. Results showed that the mean surface soil erosion from the sub-watershed was around 3.9 t ha-1 yr-1. Of the total study area, 8.2% was estimated as the areas of high and very high risk for the potential surface soil erosion that also indicates prioritization for the implementation of the erosion conservation measures.
Infiltration Patterns and Ecological Function of Outcrop Runoff in Epikarst Areas of Southern China

Published: July 2018

Core Ideas

Runoff simulation was conducted on different sides of rock outcrops.

Rock outcrops shaped the water flow paths differently on their three sides.

Outcrop runoff will contribute greatly to soil loss, rock dissolution, and biodiversity.

Rock outcrops (ROCs), a widespread surface component in a karst landscape, play a unique, hydrological role in the infiltration and redistribution of precipitation. This experiment aimed to explore water pathways of outcrop runoff and their ecological functions in epikarst by applying the dye tracer Brilliant Blue FCF on three sides of rocks—the uphill sides, the downhill sides, and the lateral sides—to simulate the outcrop runoff under a rainfall intensity of 100 mm h−1, combined with a soil loss survey and soil property measurements. Our results showed that the outcrop runoff infiltration in three directions (i.e., lateral flow into the soil, vertical flow, and lateral spread at the soil–rock interface) differed greatly on the three sides of the ROCs. Deep but narrow vertical flow was the most common infiltration pattern on the uphill sides; long but shallow lateral flow toward downslope dominated outcrop runoff movement on the lateral sides. However, on the downhill sides, the vertical flow at the soil–rock interface was quantitatively equal to the lateral flow to soil. The difference in outcrop runoff infiltration at the three sides of ROCs may help to reveal the mechanisms of soil erosion as well as rock dissolution and biodiversity in a karst environment.

beraber, üzerinde henüz bir fikir birliğine varılamamıştır. Literatüre
bakıldığında konuyla ilgili birbirinden oldukça farklı görüşlerin, çok çeşitli
kurgularla savunulduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye’nin en ileri gelen anayasa
hukukçuları ve uluslararası hukukçuları dahi konuyu irdelerken kimi zaman
birbirine tamamen zıt değerlendirmeler yapmış ve sonuçlara varmışlardır. Bu
çalışma, aynı kabul noktasından hareket edip, aynı donelerin incelenmesiyle bu
denli farklı yargılara varılmasının sebeplerini ortaya koymak ve bunlardan yola
çıkarak, yeni bir bakış açısıyla aynı konuyu bir kez daha inceleyerek
literatüre bir katkı yapmayı hedeflemektedir. İncelemeler esnasında Avrupa
Birliği hukukuna özgü bir takım kavramlara başvurulmasının kavramsal karmaşaya
neden olan bazı mefhumların açıklığa kavuşturulmasında fayda sağlayacağı
düşünülmektedir. Konunun yeniden analizi sonucunda Türk hukuk sisteminin monist
bir yapının özelliklerini sergilediği vargısı, temel gerekçeleri ve
tartışmalarıyla birlikte ortaya konacaktır.
Customer banking rights awareness in Ghana
Authors: Carsamer Emmanuel
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of customer banking right awareness regarding banking products and services in Ghana. A survey of 569 bank customers was conducted in Metropolitan Assemblies in Ghana, using a structured questionnaire with Likert-type questions. Customers were conveniently intercepted as they walked out of universal banks. Ordered probit estimation technique was used to test the research hypotheses. The study revealed that whilst bank variables (duration and number of visits) improve customers’ knowledge on bank products and services, demographic factors (age, marriage, income) enhance the level of awareness customers have with regards to bank products and services. The study also revealed that education reduces it in Ghana. Sources of information such as banking exhibitions and fairs, family and mass media improve customer banking right awareness, however, bank staff negatively affect awareness level. The study advises banks to pay particular attention to sources of information, especially bank staff, bank brochures, mass media, exhibitions and fairs. Also, age and income segment of customers should be considered when attempting to improve customer banking right awareness for satisfactory service delivery.

Batının kendi tarihi mirası olarak gördüğü, ancak Osmanlı topraklarında bulunan eski eserlerin talanı ve kaçakçılığı meselesi tarihimizi uzun yıllar meşgul etmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nde müzecilik faaliyetlerinin başlaması ve bunu takiben eski eser hukukunun hayata geçirilmesi, âsâr-ı atîkanın değer kazanmasını, kültürel mirasın bir parçası olarak görülmesini ve eskiye atfedilen anlamın değişmesini sağlamıştır. Merkezde başlayan müzecilik çalışmaları, XIX. yüzyılın sonu ve XX. yüzyılın başında eski eserlerin kaynağı olan Osmanlı taşrasına da yaygınlaştırılmaya çalışılmış, ayrıca arkeolojik kazılar ve yüzey araştırmaları daha sıkı kurallarla idare edilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu makalede öncelikle Osmanlı modernleşmesinin mikro düzeyde, kurumlar boyutunda incelenebileceği bir kent olan Bursa örneğinde, arkeoloji, siyaset ve eski eser anlayışı konuları ele alınacaktır. İkinci olarak ise çalışmanın gerçek öznesi olan Müze-i Hümâyûn Bursa Şubesi’nin kuruluş ve gelişim süreci incelenecektir.

Published: July 2018

A simple and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of hybrid bead silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing the aqueous extract derived from natural and renewable source namely tropical benthic green seaweed Ulva flexuosa was developed. This route involves the reduction of Ag+ ions anchored onto macro porous methacrylic acid copolymer beads to AgNPs for employing them as antibacterial agents for in vitro water disinfection. The seaweed extract itself acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent and requires no additional surfactant or capping agent for forming the AgNPs. The nanoparticles were analyzed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The study elucidates that such biologically synthesized AgNPs exhibit potential antibacterial activity against two Gram positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacterial strains tested. The bacterial count in treated water was reduced to zero for all the strains. Atomic force microscopy was performed to confirm the pre- and post-state of the bacteria with reference to their treatment with AgNPs. Attributes like facile environment-friendly procedure, stability and high antibacterial potency propel the consideration of these AgNPs as promising antibacterial entities.

Published: July 2018

The development of a catalyst with high catalytic activity was one of the most important issues for the heterogeneous Fenton-like process. In this study, nanocomposites of Fe3O4 anchored onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were prepared by a moderate alkaline-thermal precipitation method and developed as highly efficient heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts. The characterization results indicated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were tightly anchored onto few-layer RGO sheets via a strong interaction. Contrast experiments showed that Fe3O4/RGO nanocomposites had much better Fenton-like catalytic activity than Fe3O4 NPs. The process optimization of methyl orange (MO) discoloration in Fe3O4/RGO-H2O2 system was accomplished by central composite design under response surface methodology. A second-order polynomial model was established to predict the optimal values of MO discoloration and its significance was evaluated by analysis of variance. Three-dimensional response surfaces for the interaction between two variables were constructed. Based on the model prediction, the optimum conditions for MO discoloration in Fe3O4/RGO-H2O2 system were 2.9 for solution pH, 16.5 mM H2O2 concentration, 2.5 g/L catalyst dosage and 33.5 min of reaction time, with the maximum predicted value for MO discoloration ratio of 99.98%.
Microvascular (dys)Function in Stable Coronary Artery Disease: Cross Talk with Epicardial Segments
Authors: Calmac Lucian , Bataila Vlad , Dragoescu Bogdan , Mihai Cosmin , Scafa-Udriste Alexandru , Dorobantu Maria
Published: July 2018

Myocardial ischemia is the consequence of an unbalance between coronary flow that can be achieved
and myocardial metabolic needs. Pathological state of both epicardial and intramyocardial vessels may be responsible
for inducing ischemia. However, revascularization decision should be based on the severity of each epicardial
lesion that is evaluated. There are different diagnostic tools that may help for the evaluation of each compartment
which is based on the measurement of coronary hemodynamics. Pressure-derived indices are recommended
by current guidelines for evaluation of epicardial stenosis significance. We assess the complex interaction
between hemodynamic parameters in order to understand how different parameters are influenced in the
settings of microvascular dysfunction.

Myocardial contrast echocardiography has been used in clinical arena and for scientific research extensively
in the last fifteen years. This non-invasive, bed-side and radiation free imaging technique offers several
important possibilities: better delineation of the endocardial border, more reliable assessment of the left ventricular
wall motion abnormalities, both in rest and during stress, and myocardial perfusion evaluation. Here we provide
an overview on different applications of the myocardial contrast echocardiography in the ischemic heart
disease with the special focus on perfusion studies and evaluation of coronary microcirculation.

Authors: Yan Zhaoxiong , Lu Mengsha , Li Qin , An Liang , Xu Zhihua , Zhu Lihong
Published: July 2018

Background:

Direct ethanol fuel cells have gained considerable attention as promising
sustainable green power sources for portable electronic devices and automotive propulsion systems.
The electrocatalyst is one of the key parameters in DEFCs. However, the current electrocatalyst still
suffers from high price due to a relatively large amount of noble metal used, or relatively low activity
if non-noble metal was employed. Therefore, the design and fabrication of high-efficient electrocatalyst
with low-content of noble metal is still of interest.

Methods:

Methods: Ni(OH)2 nanoflakes supported ultra-low content of Pt (Pt/Ni(OH)2) electrocatalyst was
obtained via microemulsion, impregnation and chemical reduction processes. The Pt/Ni(OH)2 electrocatalyst
was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR, and its performance for ethanol electro-
oxidation was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, Tafel and current-time curves.

Results:

TEM result showed that Pt NPs with sizes of ca. 4-6 nm were highly dispersed on the
Ni(OH)2 nanoflakes, indicative of the successful preparation of Pt/Ni(OH)2. No peaks related to Pt
NPs were observed in the XRD pattern of Pt/Ni(OH)2, revealing a low content and/or high dispersion
of Pt NPs. The electrochemical investigation showed that the Pt/Ni(OH)2 electrode presented a superior
catalytic performance and stability for ethanol electro-oxidation in alkaline solution.

Conclusion:

The Pt/Ni(OH)2 electrode with nominal 0.62 wt.% of Pt was successfully synthesized
and showed an excellent catalytic activity and stability toward ethanol electro-oxidation mainly due
to its porous structure, high dispersion of Pt and formation of NiOOH facilitating oxidation of ethanol.
The acetate species was the major product during ethanol electro-oxidation.
Cardiovascular Effects Mediated by Imidazoline Drugs: An Update
Authors: Cobos-Puc Luis , Aguayo-Morales Hilda
Published: July 2018

Objective:

Clonidine is a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. Hypotensive effect of clonidine is mediated mainly by central α2-adrenoceptors and/or imidazoline receptors located in a complex network of the brainstem. Unfortunately, clonidine produces side effects such as sedation, mouth dry, and depression. Moxonidine and rilmenidine, compounds of the second generation of imidazoline drugs, with fewer side effects, display a higher affinity for the imidazoline receptors compared with α2-adrenoceptors. The antihypertensive action of these drugs is due to inhibition of the sympathetic outflow primarily through central I1-imidazoline receptors in the RVLM, although others anatomical sites and mechanisms/receptors are involved. Agmatine is regarded as the endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors. This amine modulates the cardiovascular function. Indeed, when administered in the RVLM mimics the hypotension of clonidine.

Results:

Recent findings have shown that imidazoline drugs also exert biological response directly on the cardiovascular tissues, which can contribute to their antihypertensive response. Currently, new imidazoline receptors ligands are in development.

Conclusion:

In the present review, we provide a brief update on the cardiovascular effects of clonidine, moxonidine, rilmenidine, and the novel imidazoline agents since representing an important therapeutic target for some cardiovascular diseases.

Authors: Sharma Nivedita , B.S. Bhandari
Published: July 2018

Biocontrol involves harnessing disease suppressive micro-organisms to improve plant health. Owing to the shortage of available fungicides for economic management of soil borne diseases, alternative techniques such as biological control are increasingly being sought for disease management. The present work was carried out to study the potential of Trichoderma harzianum isolate screened from the rhizospheric soil of seabuckthorn growing areas in Uttarakhand. Antagonistic activity of isolate was observed against Fusarium oxysporum causing damping off disease in seabuckthorn. Under in vitro conditions Trichoderma harzianum significantly reduced the growth of pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum.
