La práctica de raleo de fruto y la nutrición son factores que pueden contribuir en el incremento de la calidad de fruto en tomate cherry (Solanum lycopersicum L.). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar las características de calidad de fruto de tomate cherry cultivado con las soluciones nutritivas de Steiner y Castellanos en combinación con dos intensidades de raleo de fruto (12 y 16 frutos por racimo). Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar con arreglo factorial 2 × 2. Se determinaron las variables diámetro ecuatorial, diámetro distal, peso de fruto, sólidos solubles totales, acidez titulable, firmeza, pérdida de peso, vida de anaquel y color (luminosidad, hue y croma). Se encontró que los frutos de las plantas regadas con la solución nutritiva de Steiner presentaron 3 % mayor diámetro ecuatorial y 5 % de peso de fruto, también se incrementó el pH del jugo, firmeza y vida de anaquel entre 3 y 25 %, y estos frutos también registraron las menores pérdidas de peso, con respecto a los producidos con la solución de Castellanos; sin embargo, con la solución de Castellanos los sólidos solubles totales, acidez titulable, luminosidad y croma aumentaron entre 6 y 15 %. En relación con el raleo de frutos, las plantas con 12 frutos por racimo mostraron mayor diámetro ecuatorial, diámetro distal, peso medio de fruto, pH, sólidos solubles totales, acidez titulable, firmeza, vida de anaquel, luminosidad, hue y croma, hasta en 16 %.

Authors: Jiménez-Camargo Abraham , Valadez-Moctezuma Ernestina , Lozoya-Saldaña Héctor
Published: March 2020

La marchitez del chile (Capsicum annuum) es causada por un complejo de hongos fitopatógenos del suelo, entre los que se encuentra Phytophthora capsici (Leonian) y ocasiona pérdidas en rendimiento del fruto desde el 10 hasta el 100 %; no obstante, hay suelos supresores que contienen microorganismos como Penicillium sp., antagónicos al oomiceto. Con este antecedente, se hicieron recolectas de ambos microorganismos en campo, mayormente en el Bajío guanajuatense, México, con el objetivo de identificar posible variabilidad a nivel molecular entre las cepas de los microorganismos aislados y su relación con su acción antagónica. Se determinaron los efectos antagónicos in vitro e in vivo de aislados selectos de Penicillium spp. sobre la cepa de P. capsici identificada como la más agresiva, así como el modo del control biológico del antagonista. Los agrupamientos de las cepas de Penicillium spp. no coincidieron con su acción antagónica sobre P. capsici (agrupamientos distantes ejercieron acciones similares de antagonismo), aunque la agresividad de P. capsici sí se asoció con un grupo en el que diferentes enzimas de restricción (Hha I, Hinf I y Hae III) no detectaron polimorfismos. De las 47 cepas de Penicillium spp. y siete de P. capsici obtenidas, se seleccionaron 30 del antagonista para la confrontación in vitro con la cepa más agresiva de P. capsici. Con los resultados de este ensayo se seleccionaron nueve antagonistas para la confrontación in vivo, de los que sobresalieron en esta prueba seis aislamientos, que sólo permitieron de 5 a 21 % de infección, en comparación con 85 % del testigo inoculado con el patógeno en ausencia de antagonistas. El efecto antagónico fue una combinación de inhibición por antibiosis, competencia por espacio y desintegración de micelio.

Published: March 2020

The importance of cross-border cooperation in the socio-economic development of the border regions is emphasized and the need to develop its strategic directions is grounded. The authors confirm that the strategy of cross-border cooperation should be one of the sections of the state regional policy and policy of the border territorial entities, should contain key operational and thematic objectives, cover the financing mechanism and features of the instruments for its provision. The author’s approach to the definition of the main stages of the process of formation of the cross-border cooperation strategy at the regional level is proposed, their content, functional characteristics and key parameters for the implementation of the measures are disclosed. According to the author’s approach, the process of forming of cross-border cooperation strategy at the regional level should include the following steps: 1) identification of long-term goals of cross-border cooperation in the main functional areas: sustainable development, employment, tourism, transport, communications, environment, security, border infrastructure, etc.; 2) analysis of potential of transboundary regions in the retrospective and strategic aspects with specification of the matrix of SWOT analysis; 3) institutional and managerial support for cross-border cooperation; 4) determination of the most rational forms of CBC; 5) justification of volumes and sources of financial support of cross-border cooperation; 6) selection of CBC financing instruments; 7) definition of strategic alternatives and justification of the strategy of cross-border cooperation; 8) implementation, monitoring, control and evaluation of the impact and risks of cross-border cooperation. The process of forming of CBC strategy involves its implementation, monitoring, control, evaluation of performance and risks. This stage involves the study of the effectiveness of the CBC implementation, the degree of convergence and integration of transboundary regions in the context of risk management that accompanies this process. The strategy of cross-border cooperation should clearly define the overall long-term priorities of cooperation in terms of their specificity, time and financial dimension, flexibility and consistency. Strategic goals should reflect the basic European values and promote convergence of the regions of the countries on both sides of the border.

Published: March 2020

This paper reviews the history of OCIO (outsourced chief investment officer) and surveys the critical success factors of OCIO business in Korea. The market size of OCIO business in Korea has rapidly grown up, and the asset management for the retirement pension fund is expected to be the blue ocean for OCIO business. Survey study for OCIO business shows that the main interest of incumbent OCIOs and the potential candidates of Korea is the profitability, although OCIOs in the major foreign financial markets have their main interest in the risk management and/or the effectiveness of in-house supports. This result suggests that the potential OCIOs who prepare the entrance to the OCIO business should consider the needs and/or the purpose of the OCIO adopters and their practical constraints. OCIOs should develop their own unique professional field rather than the general expertise. Also, the Korean financial regulator is supposed to introduce the financial institutions specialized in OCIO business only.

Modern lifestyle, excessive chemicalization of agricultural products, excessive processing and refining of food, cause a decrease in daily intake of magnesium, cation with an extremely important role in prevention and treatment of many diseases. As a result, there arises the need for extra magnesium intake in the form of dietary supplements. In this study were evaluated the physical and chemical stability of magnesium-containing tablets, depending on the active compound and the excipients used. Magnesium tablets in the form of orotate, lactate, citrate, oxide and hydroxide were taken into study and physical and chemical stability were observed over the validity period, at 6 and at 12 months after expiry date. There were no changes in physical and chemical stability during the validity period of the studied tablets. At 6 months after the expiry date, were observed variations in chemical composition with decrease in magnesium concentration to 98% of the declared value, only in the case of tablets containing magnesium lactate. At 12 months, the magnesium concentration decreased in all analysed samples, with no statistically significant differences (p[0.05) between the types of magnesium compounds � 95% for the orotate, 93% for the lactate, 90% for the oxide and hydroxide, respectively 85% for citrate. The results of this study indicate the therapeutically safety for using these tablets 6 months after the expiry date.

Recovery sandy soils top was a major concern, sandy soil cultivation with the crop plants had the main goal need to increase the agricultural production. Sands in southern Oltenia offers less favorable conditions of plant life, which is why the range of cultivated plants is much lower than in other areas.Seed plants that require small and early seed (alfalfa) are affected by the negative effect of the wind, which blows away the sand particles, lesion rooted young plants or compromising their culture. On sandy soils in southern Oltenia (Field Dabuleni), forage crops help to improve physical, hydro-chemical properties, change the living conditions for plants, animals and humans, create an ecological balance that preserves the environment, partly destroyed by abolishing plantations of Robinia pseudocacia and leveling dunes relief for arranging irrigation.Among perennial leguminous pure culture, alfalfa is the most valuable forage plant feed all animal species, both for its output, especially for forage quality. Achieving quality parameters alfalfa is conditional, namely the establishment of the following technologies, namely: mowing standing of the optimal phenological stages of the plant, the establishment range of mowing or the number of harvest in a year.

Published: March 2020

Since ancient times, wild plants have widely been traditionally consumed by different communities but today are gaining relevance due to their healthy properties. Vegetables, including wild edible species, constitute an important source of active natural products: micronutrients, especially vitamins and minerals and phytochemical compounds with antioxidant properties important in the prevention of various pathologies including degenerative, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Some species of wild and cultivated edible plants were comparatively evaluated considering the content in bioactive compounds and the antioxidant capacity. Biochemical analysis of the fresh leaves indicated similar or even higher values of nutritive compounds (sugars, protids) and antioxidants (polyphenols, carotenoids, flavones, chlorophylls, ascorbic acid) in the species from spontaneous flora as dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), lesser celandine (Ficaria verna), wild garlic (Allium ursinum) than in the green lettuce and garden rocket commonly consumed around the world. Therefore, these wild plants could be recommended for consumers not only as new ingredients to improve their diet diversity but also for providing potential health benefits.

The purpose of this study was to establish a correlation between markers of inflammation and the risk of rectal stenosis or obstruction, in patients with rectal adenocarcinomas. We performed a retrospective observational study on 188 patients diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinomas. We attempted to establish a correlation between the neutrophils to lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR) levels and the presence of rectal stenosis or rectal obstruction. From 188 patients included in the study, 65 patients had stenotic tumors (34.57% of cases) and 10 patients had occlusive tumors (5.31% of cases). We obtained a statistically significant correlation between the blood levels of neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, and the existence of rectal stenosis. (p[0.05). The cutoff value of NLR that correlates with the presence of rectal stenosis was 2.5 (95% CI: 0.426-0.574, AUC: 0.500). As for PLR, the cutoff value correlated with the presence of rectal stenosis was 106,522 (95%CI: 0.428-0.575, AUC: 0.502). We established a statistically significant correlation between NLR, PLR and rectal obstruction (p[0.05). The cutoff value of the NLR that correlates with the presence of rectal obstruction was 4.633 (95%CI: 0.614-0.751, AUC: 0.685). As for PLR, the cutoff value correlated with the presence of rectal stenosis was 345.05 (95% CI: 0.673-0.803, AUC: 0.742). Our study shows that there is a statistically significant correlation between NLR and PLR and the risk of rectal obstruction in patients with adenocarcinomas. It is still necessary to conduct prospective studies on much larger lots of patients to determine the NLR and PLR values that can predict rectal stenosis as well as rectal obstruction.

The harmonious psycho-somatic development of the human body, implicitly the sanogenesis of the dento-maxillary apparatus, is the subject of major concerns highlighted by numerous socio-economic actions and of prophylactic and curative medicine, planned and directed. In this context, the problems regarding the etiopathogenic, clinical and therapeutic particularities of the dento-alveolar disharmony through the dento-alveolar incongruity during the growth period, are greatly actual, precisely because of the increasing frequency of this anomaly, especially due to the dento-implications, paradontal, occlusal, aesthetic, masticatory, dishomeostatic and psycho-social, which they generate. Dento-alveolar disharmony with incongruence, is characterized by the disproportion between the size of the teeth and the size of the alveolar arches, aspect also known as dental clogging or disarming - crunching jaw. The various and numerous causes, the diversity of the board clinical associations and especially the association of dental crushes with common clinical signs and other dento-maxillary abnormalities, especially during this period of morphological and functional modeling, require a certain clinical and therapeutic discernment, careful observation, in order to diagnose correctly, completely and obviously the recommendation and individualization of the most appropriate therapeutic solutions. A number of 17 subjects with age limits of 6.6-17 years were investigated, presenting various clinical forms of dento-alveolar disharmony with incongruence, with the distribution of sexes being: 8 girls and 9 boys. The prognosis is most often unfavorable. Diagnosed late, in permanent dentition, involves complex, more laborious, surgical-orthodontic long-term treatments.

Beveik pusė (46,5 proc.) visų Europos Sąjungos, Europos ekonominės erdvės (ES/EEE) šalyse registruojamų itin atsparios vaistams tuberkuliozės (TB) atvejų registruojama Lietuvoje. Siekdamas spręsti iššūkius, susijusius su TB ir atsparia vaistams TB, Pasaulio sveikatos organizacijos (PSO) Europos regionas parengė Tuberkuliozės veiksmų planą Europos regionui 2016–2020 m. Planas skirtas įgyvendinti Pasaulinę Jungtinių Tautų Generalinės Asamblėjos darnaus vystymosi tikslus atspindinčią TB pabaigos strategiją, pritaikant šį planą Nacionaliniu lygmeniu.Toliausiai nuo Tuberkuliozės veiksmų plane Europos regionui apibrėžtų tikslų nutolę rodikliai Lietuvoje yra naujų TB atvejų ir atkryčių rodiklis, kuris yra beveik dukart aukštesnis nei rekomenduojamas plane ir keturis kartus aukštesnis nei bendrasis ES/EEE šalių rodiklis. Nustatytas nepakankamas atsparios vaistams TB procento tarp naujų TB atvejų mažėjimas bei šešis kartus žemesnis už rekomenduojamą šių atvejų gydymo sėkmės rodiklis. Atsižvelgiant į minėtus rodiklius, galima daryti prielaidą, kad pagrindinė problema Lietuvoje šiuo metu išlieka TB atvejo vadyba, gydymo kontrolėsužtikrinimas.

Narrative Frames as a Course Evaluation Instrument
Authors: Hiratsuka Takaaki
Published: March 2020

Although getting student feedback on courses via questionnaires has been practiced for a long time, empirical studies on the topic are not substantial enough, nor are alternatives adequately considered. This study introduces and evaluates an alternative qualitative instrument known as narrative frames, which uses prompts to stimulate written feedback. In order to investigate its feasibility, I collected data from 26 Japanese university students in an English Teaching Methods course. Findings suggest that these narrative frames served as a useful tool for eliciting the students’ experiences in the course, their impressions of it, and its impact on them. These findings led me, as the instructor of the course, to be able to critically reflect on its content. Pedagogical and research implications for the future use of narrative frames are provided.

学生による授業評価アンケートは教育改善のために必要な手段として長年定着しているが、それらに関する研究、またそれに取って代わる手段の議論は不十分である。本論では、質的研究手法の1つで、書き手の文章作成を助長するとされているナラティブフレーム（物語枠組み）を授業評価の手段として用い、その評価を行った。データは英語科教育法を受講した26人の大学生から収集した。結果、ナラティブフレームは授業評価手段としての機能を十分に果たし、学生の授業への印象や彼らが授業から受けた影響の詳細を明らかにできることが分かった。また、これらの結果内容は担当教員が授業を批判的に精査し、振り返り活動を行うことに役立った。本論では最後に、ナラティブフレームの使用、研究に関する提言を行う。
Teaching English for Pre-Service Teachers: Principles and Practice Activities
Authors: McLellan Howard Anne
Published: March 2020

Regular English proficiency tests are often used to determine if teachers are able to use English as a language of instruction, but teaching English in English requires other skills as well. Teachers must be able to use simplified language, restate, and explain things understandably. For students who are planning on becoming English teachers merely memorizing classroom expressions is not enough; they must build these skills. Awareness and practice activities can be effective measures.

教員の英語で教える能力を計るために通常の英語能力テストが用いられているが、英語を英語で教えることには日常英語以上のスキルが含まれている。簡単な単語を用い、言い換え、生徒が理解できるように説明することが必要である。中学校・高校英語教員を目指している学生は、中学校・高校の授業でよく使われている単語と表現を暗記するだけではなく、これらのスキルをみがくことが必要である。自覚して、英語で教える能力を伸ばすための練習活動を行うことが有効だろう。
Contrastive Models for Turn-Taking in English and Japanese
Authors: Young Davey
Published: March 2020

Turn-taking remains an underemphasized aspect of foreign language instruction. As more is understood about this central component of interactional competence, foreign language teachers will need to consider the best ways to teach students how to take turns speaking and managing the floor in the target language. This paper provides a brief outline of turn-taking mechanics as originally defined by Sacks, Schegloff, & Jefferson (1974) before providing contrastive models for turn-taking in English and Japanese. Some recommendations for classroom instruction targeting turn-taking for EFL students in Japan, as well as a call for greater sensitivity to this fundamental aspect of communicative competence, are also provided.

外国語教育において、「話者交替」の重要性はまだ十分に注目されていない。相互行為能力の中心的構成要素である話者交替についての理解が深まるにつれ、外国語教育者は目標言語でどのように交替しながら話し、場の進行をすればいいかを教授するための最善の方法を考える必要が出てくるだろう。本論では、Sacks, Schegloff, & Jefferson (1974) によって定義された話者交替の働きについての概要を説明した後に、英語と日本語での話者交替の対照モデルについて述べる。日本の英語学習者に話者交替を教える際にクラス内で推奨されるいくつかの教授法と、話者交替というコミュニケーション能力の重要な一面に対するより細やかな配慮への必要性についても述べる。
Tracking and Quantifying Japanese English Language Learner Speaking Anxiety
Authors: Shachter Jonathan
Published: March 2020

This study tracked and quantitatively measured Japanese English Language Learner (ELL) classroom speaking anxiety over 12 weeks. Participants (N = 75) were first-year Japanese Oral Communication students attending a public university in Japan. The Nervousness Metric (NM) was created by the researcher and was used as a quantitative tracking tool. Beginning from the second week of one school term, students filled out the NM two times in each lesson: once at the start of each week’s lesson, and again prior to the lecturer’s assigned performance task. Quantitative data produced from the NM tracking system suggested that participants’ anxiety decreased, with the most significant decrease occurring between the first and second weeks of data collection. Additional quantitative data indicated that within each lesson, anxiety levels were raised pre-performance. Qualitative data supported previous research by Woodrow (2006), which suggested that ELLs prefer collaborative group activities over individual oral presentations.

本論は、12週間にわたり日本人英語学習者（ELL）の授業中のスピーキングに対する不安感を調査し、量的に測定することを目的とした。参加者（人数 = 75名）は、日本の公立大学で英語オーラルコミュニケーションの授業に参加している日本人の大学1年生である。量的な調査を行うツールとして緊張度メトリック（NM）が使用された。調査は学期の第2週目に開始され、学生は授業開始時とタスクの前にNMを記入した。NMによる量的データでは、第1週目と第2週目の間に日本人ELLの不安感が最も顕著に減少することが示唆された。また、授業中では、タスク直前に学生の不安度が上がることが示唆された。学生のコメントによる質的データでは、Woodrow（2006）の研究と同様の結果を示し、ELLは各個人で行う口頭発表よりも共同で行うグループ活動を好むことが確認されている。

FUZZY DECISION MAKING METHOD BASED ON COCOSO WITH CRITIC FOR FINANCIAL RISK EVALUATION
Authors: Peng Xindong , Huang Haihui
Published: March 2020

The financial risk evaluation is critically vital for enterprises to identify the potential financial risks, provide decision basis for financial risk management, and prevent and reduce risk losses. In the case of considering financial risk assessment, the basic problems that arise are related to strong fuzziness, ambiguity and inaccuracy. q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS), portrayed by the degrees of membership and non-membership, is a more resultful tool to seize fuzziness. In this article, the novel q-rung orthopair fuzzy score function is given for dealing the comparison problem. Later, the and operations are explored and their interesting properties are discussed. Then, the objective weights are calculated by CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation). Moreover, we present combined weights that reflects both subjective preference and objective preference. In addition, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy MCDM (multi-criteria decision making) algorithm based on CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution) is presented. Finally, the feasibility of algorithm is stated by a financial risk evaluation example with corresponding sensitivity analysis. The salient features of the proposed algorithm are that they have no counter-intuitive case and have a stronger capacity in differentiating the best alternative.

BACKGROUND: Evaluating the antibiotic susceptibility and resistance genes is essential in the clinical management of bloodstream infections (BSIs). But there are still limited studies in Northern Vietnam.
AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the antibiotic resistance profile and characteristics of subtypes genes in Escherichia coli causing BSIs in Northern Vietnam.
METHODS: The cross-sectional study was done in the period from December 2012 to June 2014 in two tertiary hospitals in Northern Vietnam. Tests were performed at the lab of the hospital.
RESULTS: In 56 E. coli strains isolating 39.29 % produced ESBL. 100% of the isolates harbored blaTEM gene, but none of them had the blaPER gene. The prevalence of ESBL producers and ESBL non-producers in blaCTX-M gene was 81.82%, and 73.53%, in blaSHV gene was 18.18% and 35.29%. Sequencing results showed three blaTEM subtypes (blaTEM 1, 79, 82), four blaCTX-M subtypes (blaCTX-M-15, 73, 98, 161), and eight blaSHV subtypes (blaSHV 5, 7, 12, 15, 24, 33, 57, 77). Antibiotic resistance was higher in ampicillin (85.71%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (64.29%) and cephazolin (50%). Antibiotics were still highly susceptible including doripenem (96.43%), ertapenem (94.64%), amikacin (96.43%), and cefepime (89.29%).
CONCLUSION: In Escherichia coli causing BSIs, antibiotic resistance was higher in ampicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and cephazolin. Antibiotics was highly susceptible including doripenem, ertapenem, amikacin, and cefepime.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Role of Mitophagy in Neurodegeneration
Authors: Ahlawat Abhilasha , Kaira Meenakshi , Walia Vaibhav , Garg Munish
Published: March 2020

Mitophagy is a selective autophagy process in which damaged or surplus mitochondria are removed to sustain normal homeostasis. The efficient removal of damaged or stressed mitochondria is crucial for cellular health. Recent literature emphasizes the role of PINK1-Parkin pathways in the pathogenesis process of various neurodegenerative disorders. Further, mitophagy has shown potential therapeutic activity in treating neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, mitophagy might be important in the field of pharmacotherapeutics. In the present chapter, the authors explain mitophagy, mitophagy signaling pathways, as well as mechanisms and roles of mitophagy in various neurodegenerative disorders.
