Effect of isonuclear-alloplasmic cytoplasmic male sterility system
on grain yield traits in pearl millet
Authors: Pujar Mahesh , Govindaraj M , Gangaprasad S. , Kanatti A.
Published: July 2019

Pearl millet is a nutri-cereal and is grown predominantly by
subsistence farmers in semi-arid regions of India and Africa.
Considering it’s highly cross pollinated nature and
availability of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), hybrids have
become a dominant cultivar type in India. Present study
aims to assess the effect of isonuclear alloplasmic A1, A4
and A5 CMS on agronomic performance of pearl millet
hybrids. Five isogenic females each having 3 alloplasmic
(A1, A4 and A5) cytoplasm were crossed with 6 male-parents
to generate 120 hybrids. All these were evaluated in two
contrasting seasons (E) in split-split-plot design. The
significant cytoplasm per se and restorer per se indicate
the both contribution to most of the traits, however, greater
magnitude of contribution arises from restorers
significantly (75%grain yield; 95% 1000-grain weight). The
significant, hybrids x E shows the mandatory of multilocation
testing for yield traits while non-significant of CMS
× E interaction reveals the greater stability of CMS. Further,
non-significant mean yield differences exhibited in A1, A4
and A5 hybrids (2.84-3.14 t ha–1) indicated no adverse effect
of cytoplasm on grain yield and associated traits. Also,
diverse genetic backgrounds used in this study displayed
significant contributions to grain yield and its component
traits. These results imply the prospects for utilization of
potential alternative cytoplasm (A4 and A5) to widen the
cytoplasm base together with development of counterpart
restorers to produce future high-yielding hybrids.
Writing successful patents and overcoming patent barriers
Authors: Manchikanti Padmavati
Published: July 2019

Inventions related to pre-harvest and post-harvest
technologies have revolutionized agriculture. There is a
significant growth of intellectual property rights (IPR) in
agriculture across the globe. The predominant forms of IP
relevant to agriculture sector are patents and designs.
Patents are given to inventions that qualify patent eligibility,
patentability criteria and disclosure norms. In the area of
agriculture, patents provide a great opportunity for
improving agricultural processes and products.
Understanding the requirements of an invention under the
Indian Patents Act, 1970 is necessary to know what can be
patentable in India. The criteria of novelty, non-obviousness
and industrial application and disclosure norms are
applicable to all inventions irrespective of the technology
areas. Examination guidelines for each technology area
indicate to the elaborateness of the practice in relation to
patents. While preparing patent specifications for agriculture
inventions, it is important to ensure that the subject matter
claimed should not be a method of agriculture (under
Section 3h) or plants or plant parts (under Section 3j of the
Act). Identification of relevant prior art and its anticipatory
value is very important for the assessment of novelty of
inventions. Agriculture inventions which can lower the cost,
be obtained by reduced number of steps and are
environment friendly can be considered under ‘economic
significance’ by the Indian patent office (under the purview
of Section 2(1) ja). Adhering to the disclosure norms (as
mandated under Section 10 of the Act) are also important.
Inventors/applicants need to also consider the deposit
requirements. The present work examines the relevance of
IPR and expansion of the patentability criteria, disclosure
norms and additional requirements in relation to
agriculture. It will highlight the need for patent search as
an integral requirement for research, the process of
preparation of invention disclosures to enhance the
innovative ability of academic institutions as well as
researchers.
Registration of Sunflower Genetic Stocks TOCO B1, TOCO R1, and TOCO R2 with High Gamma‐ and Delta‐Tocopherol and Altered Fatty Acid Composition in the Seed Oil
Authors: Hulke Brent S. , Winkler‐Moser Jill K.
Published: July 2019

A primary concern of oilseed sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) breeders in developing commercial hybrids is the constitution of the oil product, particularly the fatty acid composition. Over time, mutation breeding and selection have led to sunflower varieties with very high levels of oleic acid, which increases oxidative stability of the oil. This is beneficial particularly to those food industries that use vegetable oil for frying food. Tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants that protect vegetable oils from oxidative degradation and that vary in their antioxidant activity. TOCO B1 (Reg. no. GS‐62, PI 690443), TOCO R1 (Reg. no. GS‐63, PI 690444), and TOCO R2 (Reg. no. GS‐64, PI 690445) contain mutations that increase the γ‐ and δ‐tocopherol level of the seed, leading to a more stable vegetable oil product. TOCO B1 also possesses an oil profile high in oleic acid. These lines were released by the USDA‐ARS and North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Fargo, ND, to fill the need for novel sunflower oil products in the sunflower industry.
The definition of exosome and extracellular vesicles (EV)
Authors: Pedro Ana
Published: July 2019

Membrane trafficking by exosomes has been the subject of intense investigation due to their diagnostic and therapeutic potential. However, although exosomes have been referred to by most authors as extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin, there are no extracellular vesicle-specific markers that can distinguish exosomes from other vesicle types. Moreover, the material isolated from different fluids such as cell culture conditioned media or plasma, generally contains a mixture of different vesicle subtypes. In this short article, we describe how the definition of the terms extracellular vesicles and exosomes varies in the literature, therefore prompting the need for a standardization of the terminology used to describe these membrane tracking particles. Such harmonization will ultimately help define the potential importance of specific vesicles as markers for various disease states.

We unveil experimental evidence that put into question the widely held notion concerning the impact of nanoparticles on the bioelectrocatalytic parameters of enzymatic electrodes. Comparative studies of the bioelectrocatalytic properties of fungal bilirubin oxidase from Myrothecium verrucaria adsorbed on gold electrodes, modified with gold nanoparticles of different diameters, clearly indicate that neither the direct electron transfer rate (standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants were calculated to be 319 s -1) nor the biocatalytic activity of the adsorbed enzyme (bioelectrocatalytic constants were calculated to be 3411 s -1) depends on the size of the nanoparticles, which had diameters close to or larger than those of the enzyme molecules.
Molecular Mechanism of Global Genome Nucleotide Excision Repair
Authors: Petruseva I. O. , Evdokimov A. N. , Lavrik O. I.
Published: July 2019

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a multistep process that recognizes and eliminates a wide spectrum of damage causing significant distortions in the DNA structure, such as UV-induced damage and bulky chemical adducts. The consequences of defective NER are apparent in the clinical symptoms of individuals affected by three disorders associated with reduced NER capacities: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). These disorders have in common increased sensitivity to UV irradiation, greatly elevated cancer incidence (XP), and multi-system immunological and neurological disorders. The eucaryotic NER system eliminates DNA damage by the excision of 24-32 nt single-strand oligonucleotides from a damaged strand, followed by restoration of an intact double helix by DNA repair synthesis and DNA ligation. About 30 core polypeptides are involved in the entire repair process. NER consists of two pathways distinct in initial damage sensor proteins: transcription-coupled repair (TC-NER) and global genome repair (GG-NER). The article reviews current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying damage recognition and its elimination from mammalian DNA.

Published: July 2019

While metal nanoparticles are being increasingly used in many sectors of the economy, there is growing interest in the biological and environmental safety of their production. The main methods for nanoparticle production are chemical and physical approaches that are often costly and potentially harmful to the environment. The present review is devoted to the possibility of metal nanoparticle synthesis using plant extracts. This approach has been actively pursued in recent years as an alternative, efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally safe method for producing nanoparticles with specified properties. This review provides a detailed analysis of the various factors affecting the morphology, size, and yield of metal nanoparticles. The main focus is on the role of the natural plant biomolecules involved in the bioreduction of metal salts during the nanoparticle synthesis. Examples of effective use of exogenous biomatrices (peptides, proteins, and viral particles) to obtain nanoparticles in plant extracts are discussed.

Published: July 2019

The genetic reprogramming technology allows one to generate pluripotent stem cells for individual patients. These cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), can be an unlimited source of specialized cell types for the body. Thus, autologous somatic cell replacement therapy becomes possible, as well as the generation of in vitro cell models for studying the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and drug discovery. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder that leads to a loss of upper and lower motor neurons. About 10% of cases are genetically inherited, and the most common familial form of ALS is associated with mutations in the SOD1 gene. We used the reprogramming technology to generate induced pluripotent stem cells with patients with familial ALS. Patient-specific iPS cells were obtained by both integration and transgene-free delivery methods of reprogramming transcription factors. These iPS cells have the properties of pluripotent cells and are capable of direct differentiation into motor neurons.

Published: July 2019

A method for effective development of solid-phase immunoassays on a glass surface and for optimization of related protocols by highly sensitive quantitative monitoring of each assay step has been proposed and experimentally implemented. The method is based on the spectral correlation interferometry (SCI) that allows real-time measuring of the thickness of a biomolecular layer bound to the recognition molecular receptors on the sensor chip surface. The method is realized with compact 3-channel SCI-biosensors that employ as the sensor chips standard cover glass slips without deposition of any additional films. Different schemes for antibody immobilization on a glass surface have been experimentally compared and optimized toward a higher sorption capacity of the sensor chips. Comparative characterization of the kinetics of each immunoassay stage has been implemented with the optimized protocols: i) covalent immobilization of antibody on an epoxylated surface and ii) biotinylated antibody sorption on a biotinylated surface via a high-affinity biotin-streptavidin bond. We have shown that magnetic nanoparticles employed as labels with model detection of cardiac troponin I further amplify the SCI signal, resulting in 100-fold improvement of the detection limit. The developed protocols can also be used with the alternative immunoassay platforms, including the label methods based on registration of only the final assay result, which is the quantity of bound labels.

Authors: Biancovilli Priscila , Machado Gabriel de Oliveira Cardoso , De Souza Marina Verjovsky de Almeida Ribeiro , Jurberg Claudia
Published: July 2019

Introdução: O câncer é uma das doenças mais temidas da atualidade. Pesquisa realizada pelo Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva mostrou que o brasileiro associa câncer à dor e a sofrimento. A Organização Mundial da Saúde afirma que as chances de cura são elevadas, se houver um diagnóstico precoce. Nesse sentido, a imprensa pode desempenhar um papel importante, pois contribui na formação de opiniões e atitudes. Objetivo: Este trabalho objetiva investigar como cinco jornais do Brasil divulgam a temática “câncer” em suas primeiras páginas. Método: Esta é uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo-exploratória e foi desenvolvida apoiada no paradigma quanti-qualitativo. Foram analisadas 45 notícias que contêm o termo câncer e apresentam chamadas na primeira página de cinco jornais brasileiros, entre janeiro e julho de 2010. Essas reportagens foram agrupadas em referência mínima e foco em câncer. Desenvolveu-se uma avaliação de caráter otimista/neutro/pessimista do câncer em todas as reportagens estudadas, a partir do estudo de palavras-chave. Resultados: 17,77% das reportagens apresentavam caráter otimista, 66,66% eram neutras e 15,55%, negativas. Das reportagens que fazem referência mínima à doença, 81,5% têm caráter neutro ou otimista; e, entre aquelas sobre câncer, 88% têm caráter neutro ou otimista. Conclusão: A maior parte dessas reportagens possui um enfoque que contrasta com a visão negativa predominante na população. Políticas de saúde pública devem estar atreladas a uma cobertura pela imprensa mais ampla e regular sobre a doença.

Published: July 2019

Apesar do aumento do número de doenças crônico--degenerativas e do aumento da valorização da comunicação interpessoal no contexto da terminalidade, os profissionais de saúde ainda encontram dificuldades em desenvolver habilidades e conhecimentos necessários na comunicação de más notícias.Visto que a comunicação é uma ferramenta essencial para essa modalidade de cuidado, como vem sendo aplicada à comunicação de más notícias em cuidados paliativos nos serviços de saúde? Os profissionais da área estariam preparados para estabelecer uma comunicação adequada? As instituições de ensino estariam fornecendo a formação necessária para efetivar o processo de comunicação nos cuidados paliativos? Acredita-se que a formação dos profissionais de saúde deve incluir a comunicação de más notícias tanto na graduação quanto na  ducação continuada de instituições hospitalares.

Authors: Praja Biswash
Published: July 2019

This research project uses immigrant entrepreneur’s perspectives on how entrepreneurship has influenced or facilitated in integration processes in host country. The study is based on Nepali immigrants engaged in entrepreneurship in Lisbon. Semi structured interview was used to interpret the narratives of the conversation with the respondents, which is coded into themes using thematic analysis. Twelve Nepali entrepreneurs were interviewed who owned small or medium scale business ventures in Lisbon. Being Nepali as well as migrant here in Portugal, enabled the researcher to reflect, analyse and interpret insider perspective for the study which controls the possible limitations of understanding the social milieu of the respondents during the study process. Social capital theory was used to analyse immigration, and entrepreneurship start-ups in host country. As a whole, it has been found out that, the entrepreneurial ventures helps Nepali immigrants to integrate in the host societies by facilitating them in easy adjustment process from the period of arrival until they settle down. The implications of this research are useful for local authorities in host country to further strengthen bonds between immigrants and host society through entrepreneurship. The social capital that is evident in community can be strength for authorities to support in establishing entrepreneurial ventures for Nepali immigrants.
Internal Determinants of Islamic Bank Profitability: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Rifat Hassan S. M. , Ahmed Riyashad
Published: July 2019

This paper empirically examines the impact of bank specific characteristics in determining the Islamic banking profitability in Bangladesh. Research period covers 2010–2017. Research method is a panel analysis. Fixed effects model is applied based on the Hausman test. The study takes return on assets (ROA) as the proxy of profitability. Company specific explanatory variables for the study are bank size, capital-to-risk assets (CRAR), investment-to-deposit (liquidity), non-performing investment (NPI), and cost-to-income. The study finds 4 out of 5 variables statistically significant. However, liquidity slightly misses the significance level. We have found CRAR and cost-to-income are negatively correlated, and liquidity is positively correlated to bank profitability as our expectation. On the other hand, estimation shows a negative correlation between bank size and profitability. Moreover, NPI is found to be positively correlated to ROA because Islamic banking industry’s very low percentage of non-performing investment (3.3%) could not inversely affect the profitability.

The main goal of our research was to analyze students can sound authentic in the English language classroom. The theoretical analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature plus the analysis of the empirical experience of teaching foreign languages were chosen as the leading research methods. the results showed that most of the surveyed students expressed a wish to be able to sound authentic and improve their language skills. When the essence of authenticity in teaching and learning EFL is identified and approbated there can be chosen appropriate teaching techniques and learning activities which have the power of bridging the eternal divergence between two targets of L2 learners: sounding more like a native speaker or simply sounding more fluent. This frames the research goal of the experiment which is scheduled to be conducted at the second (final) stage of the research.
Basic Methods for Working with Poetic Texts at Russian as a Foreign Language Lessons.
Authors: Shtyrlina Ekaterina G.
Published: July 2019

Study of authentic literary works is an integral part of teaching Russian as a foreign language. It is literary texts, accumulating the historical experience of a nation and express its spiritual essence, that become an effective tool of learning a foreign culture, mentality, and values of native speakers. This research used the following methods: methodological, philological literature search on the research topic; verification of the effectiveness of the proposed guidelines in the teaching process. Results showed that poetic text used at Russian as a Foreign Language lessons stimulates interest and motivation to learn Russian, contributes to language knowledge arrangement, development of basic communication skills, improvement of speech skills, and formation of linguacultural competence. The authors concluded that the best form of poetic text classes in a foreign audience is heuristic conversation focusing on the semantic sensing of a text by interpreting its linguistic expression means. The system of poetic text-based tasks should be aimed at mastering the linguistic material, understanding the message and the figurative content of the work. Text interpretation should include the students’ familiarization with the cross-cultural information which is the object of comparison of their native culture and Russian culture, their own and other people’s perception of reality.

Effects of Soil Chemistry on the Physico-Chemical Characteristics of the Grains of Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi Linn) Grown in Bukidnon, Philippines
Authors: Coludo Felvin , Janairo Gerardo
Published: July 2019

The amounts of P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Pb, and Cd in both grits and hull/testa of Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L., Gulian variety) in Bukidnon, Philippines, were quantified relative to the pH, electrical conductivity (EC), cation-exchange capacity (CEC), and amounts of organic matter (OM), N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Pb, and Cd of the soils where these plants were grown. The P, K, Ca, Fe, and Cu contents in grits were differentiated by P, CEC, Ca, Fe, and Zn of the soil, respectively. The accumulations of both Mg and Zn in grits were influenced only by the pH of the soil while the Mn contents in grits were influenced by both pH and Mn content of the soil. The Fe, Zn, and B contents of hull/testa were significantly differentiated by the Zn, Fe and OM of the soil, respectively. The mean amounts of macr-oelements in both grits and hull/testa were in the order of K>P>Mg>Ca. The mean micro-element contents in grits were in the order of Fe>Na>Mn>Zn>Cu>B, while for hull/testa, Fe>Na>Mn>Zn>B>Cu. The Pb contents in grits and hull/testa were below the detection limit of the method while the amounts of Cd in both grits and hull/testa were below the permitted maximum level of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme-Codex Committee on Contaminants in Food. From the amounts of these elements in Adlay, this indigenous crop may well be a good alternative food crop for human and animal consumption.

Authors: Main Macquin , Akanda Shamsul
Published: July 2019

Field experiments were conducted in 2012 and 2013 to study the effects of inoculum densities of Meloidogyne incognita applied at 10, 100, 1000, 5000, and 10000 juveniles/eggs per 500 cm3 along with un-inoculated control treatments, on a susceptible sweetpotato variety, K9. At the highest initial inoculum (Pi), an average marketable tuber yield of 991 kg ha-1 was recorded compared to 3495.5 kg ha-1 from un-inoculated control, accounting for 72% relative yield reduction. Significant (p≤0.05) yield reduction of 37% was also recorded from the lowest Pi of 10 juveniles/500 cm3. Probit analysis projected that 50% loss to marketable tubers are likely to occur at populations as low as 40 nematodes/500 cm3.There was a high positive correlation (r = 0.87**) between percentage relative yield loss and initial inoculum densities.
There was significant (p≤0.01) impairment in marketable tuber quality with 4% cracking at 10 M. incognita per 500cm3, increasing to 37% at the highest Pi of 10,000. Highly significant positive correlations were also observed for cracked tubers (r = 0.93**) and non-marketable tubers (r = 0.96**), when tested against the Pi densities of M. incognita. Nematode population was monitored during the cropping season revealed an overall significant increase (p≤0.05) in juvenile populations at mid-season (60 days after inoculation) from the initial inoculum populations. A reverse in trend of juvenile numbers was observed at harvest (120DAI).

New data on the distribution, biology and morphology of Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), with new records from Poland
Authors: Gutowski J. M. , Kurzawa J.
Published: July 2019

We report the discovery of the pyrophilous species, Asemum tenuicorne (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the Białowieża Primeval Forest (NE Poland) in 2009 and 2016. This species was previously known only from Southern Europe and one locality detached from the main range on the island of Gotska Sandön in Southern Sweden. Information on its northern spread and current distribution is summarized and critically analyzed and new data on its biology are provided. The morphology of A. tenuicorne adults was studied using 46 specimens from different localities and compared with 63 specimens of the widely distributed Asemum striatum. Differences between the two species are presented and illustrated using external features, morphometric measurements, shape of the male copulatory organs and wing venation.

Birth Defects, Family Dynamics, and Mourning Loss: Psychoanalysis, Genetic Counseling, and Disability, 1950–80
Authors: Schmidt Marion
Published: July 2019

During the 1950s and 1960s, the disabled child stood at the intersection of two distinct but connected developments: the emergence of more psychosocial approaches to disability, and the rise of child analysis as a distinct field. Disabled children and their families came into the focus of psychoanalysts, and became testing cases for theories about ego development, family dynamics, grief, mourning, and loss. This psychoanalytic subfield influenced other professions, not least because it played on widespread stereotypes about disability and motherhood. It was picked up, for example, by geneticists as part of a larger refashioning of their field. In a superficial distancing from the coercive, population-driven eugenics of the past, geneticists redefined genetic counseling as a non-directive psychosocial service that was to resolve parental guilt, blame, shock, and anxiety in order to facilitate ‘rational’ reproductive decisions. Psychoanalytic motives thus filled a need for establishing new forms of professional authority, and for defining ‘effective’ counseling.

Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad: Revisión Sistemática de las Intervenciones
Authors: Font Domènech Eva
Published: July 2019

El Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad (TLP) es un síndrome complejo y heterogéneo, caracterizado principalmente por la inestabilidad afectiva, interpersonal y de la autoimagen. Durante los últimos años varios ensayos han valorado la eficacia de distintas estrategias psicoterapéuticas para tratar dicho trastorno. El objetivo del presente trabajo es ofrecer una revisión actualizada que permita analizar la evidencia procedente de los Ensayos Controlados Aleatorizados (ECA) mediante un abordaje cualitativo. La evidencia científica sugiere que las psicoterapias estructuradas contribuyen de manera significativa en la mejora de los cuadros limítrofes, tanto en su sintomatología como en su funcionamiento. Aunque se encuentran diferencias en los factores en que incide cada intervención, esto puede contribuir en la elección del tratamiento más adecuado, consiguiendo una visión dimensional y funcional del síntoma en un contexto más centrado en el paciente.
Terapia Breve Centrada en Soluciones
Authors: De la Fuente Blanco Ignacio , Alonso Yolanda , Vique Raquel
Published: July 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un modelo para la Terapia centrada en soluciones que trata de representar y describir sus principios de forma gráfica y operativa. Tales principios se enmarcan en el pensamiento posmoderno, aunque también encuentren sus raíces en la terapia breve y, en general, en el enfoque sistémico y constructivista como marco teórico. El modelo queda articulado en base a sus características entre las que destaca especialmente la interacción dialógica entre terapeuta y consultante como elemento clave para el éxito de la terapia. Además, a partir de la definición del continuo problema-solución se formula una hipótesis de ajuste relacional entre consultante y terapeuta que permite pronosticar cómo dicho ajuste incidirá en los posibles resultados de la terapia.
