Authors: Shah Muhammad N. , Shafi Muhammad J. , Wahid Abdul
Published: March 2021

With increasing population, the demand for food is also increasing. So, with the aim to increase the productivity of crop a field experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the foliar application of moringa leaf extract (MLE) at growth and yield of sunflower under water deficit conditions at Agronomy research area, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. The treatments comprise of Factor A: Irrigation,(I0 = Normal irrigation, I1 = Skipped at knee height stage, I2 = Skipped at knee height + heading stage, I3 = Skipped at knee height + heading + seed development stage and Factor B: Foliar application of MLE (Subplot), T0 = No spray, T1 = Spray at knee height stage, T2 = Spray at knee height + heading stage, T3 = Spray at knee height + heading + seed development stage with randomized complete block design (RCBD) split-plot design in three replications. The interactive effect between moringa leaf extract (MLE) and irrigation was significant. Maximum head diameter (22.17cm), number of achenes per head (1030.30), 1000-achenes weight (49.73g), achene yield (3474 kg/ha), and biological yield (10729.83 kg/ha), oil content (41.734%), protein content (20.8%) was observed in F3 (K+H+S) and I0 (Normal) irrigation. While minimum head diameter (15.57cm), number of achenes per head (681.67), 1000-achenes weight (42.001g), achene yield (2536.33 kg/ha), and biological yield (8209.33 kg/ha), oil content (36.3%), protein content (16.27%) was observed in F0 (no spray) and I3 (K+H+S) irrigation. Results showed that foliar application of moringa leaf extract under normal conditions boost the crop yield and drought stress at (K+H+S) is detrimental for growth and development of sunflower.

Authors: Lima Luiz Henrique Mateus
Published: March 2021

Os shopping centers são empreendimentos que, com mais ou menos tempo, trazem mudanças nas áreas em que são instalados. Atraem para suas proximidades outras opções comerciais e, inclusive, empreendimentos destinados à moradia, como, por exemplo, condomínios fechados de luxo ou mesmo novos loteamentos populares. Além disso, em alguns casos, há a implantação de campus universitários e escolas em seus arredores. Esses novos empreendimentos contribuem para a valorização dessas áreas, aumentando o valor do metro quadrado da terra urbana, por exemplo. Por outro lado, os shopping centers são estabelecimentos excludentes que buscam um público alvo, excluindo quem não faz parte deste. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o impacto do Iguatemi Rio Preto na área em que foi implantado. Localizado na zona Sul de cidade, historicamente destinada aos citadinos bem abastados, desde o seu lançamento foi possível observar que houve uma grande valorização dos terrenos localizados nas proximidades, atraindo novos projetos de alto padrão. Nesse contexto, a valorização torna este setor da cidade cada vez mais homogêneo, com um empreendimento que foi planejado para atender a um público específico que vive nos condomínios próximos.

Published: March 2021

Background: In line with the increasing practice of in-vitro fertilization, it is crucial to pay attention onitscomplications. The most common iatrogenic complication of assisted reproductive technologies (ART)is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Several characteristics are useful in identifying high-riskpatients in order to prevent OHSS.Method: This study analysed characteristics of age, body mass index (BMI), antral follicle count (AFC),estradiol levels, and the number of oocytes between two unpaired groups of 20 women with OHSS and 19women, who did not experience OHSS.Results: The characteristics of AFC (p = 0.012), estradiol levels (p <0.001), and the number of oocytes (p<0.001) showed were significantly different between the two groups. Women with higher AFC were morelikely to have OHSS, with OR of 3.33 (95% CI 0.77–14.31). Additionally, women with higher levels ofestradiol and number of oocytes were also more likely to have OHSS, OR 76.5 (95% CI 9.66–605.67) and81 (95% CI 4.2–1561.6), respectively. Other patient’s characteristics did not differ significantly (p> 0.05).Conclusions: Women with AFC above ten follicles, estradiol levels above 3000 pg/ml, and oocytes countof more than 12 were more likely to develop OHSS.

Objective: The purpose ofthis study was to examine the effect of high intensity and moderate intensityfootball specific circuit training on selected motor fitness variables among football players in Ethiopia.Method: For the purpose of this study random group design was implemented. To achieve this objective60 football players were taken as the subjects of the study. These subjects were distributed in to three highintensity football specific circuit training group (N1=20), moderate intensity football specific circuit traininggroup (N2=20) and control group (N=20) using random sampling technique. The high intensity footballspecific circuit training group and moderate intensity football specific circuit training group were engagedin high intensity football specific circuit training and moderate intensity football specific circuit trainingrespectively. The selected variables were agility, explosive strength and speed. The data was collected usingthe standardized tests such as zigzag run test for Agility, 30 meter speed test for Speed and Standing longjump test for Explosive strength.. The data was analyzed using ANCOVA and bonefferani post hoc test forpaired mean comparison when significant difference exists.Result: Our finding indicated that the HICT group increased significantly in agility, explosive strengthand speed than the control group with a mean difference made (-.743, P=.000), .(360, P=.000) and (-.725,P=.000) respectively. The MICT group also showed significant difference on speed, explosive strength andspeed than the control group with a mean difference made (-.562, P=.000), (.236, P=.000) and (-.367, P=.000)respectively. Moreover the difference made between the HICT group and MICT group on explosive strengthand speed was significant with a mean difference made (.125, P=.000) and (-.358, P=.000) respectively.Whereas the HICT group and MICT group didn’t show significant difference on their agility with a meandifference of (-.180, P = .099).Conclusion: From the finding we concluded that the intensity of circuit training is very crucial for themagnitude of adaptation in circuit training. Thus for the effectiveness of circuit training the plan of trainersor coaches should seriously consider the intensity to bring the intended or required changes.

Published: March 2021

Cet article est le compte-rendu critique de différents apports de la thèse soutenue par Me S. Boisset-Boisset sur la sculpture médiévale en Savoie occidentale à l’Université Grenoble Alpes, en novembre 2015. Il rend compte d’une enquête rigoureuse entreprise sur un corpus d’environ 300 statues ou groupes sculptés au sein duquel l’auteur a identifié des séries originales comme celle des Vierge de Pitié savoyardes ou des œuvres de qualité dédiées à des saints locaux à la renommée internationale comme celle de saint Antoine en Viennois. L’analyse formelle minutieuse des sculptures l’a conduite à isoler un ensemble de quarante-cinq témoins provenant d’ateliers ou d’artistes itinérants produits dans la région de Chambéry. Les commanditaires de ces œuvres pourraient être les officiers de l’administration ducale, résidant à Chambéry et alentours, la ville étant alors la capitale administrative et politique du duché.

Authors: Mafuyeka Rendani T. , Webber Lynne M. , Becker Piet , Mayaphi Simnikiwe H.
Published: March 2021

Background: The human immunodeficiency virus type-2 (HIV-2) prevalence in South Africa (SA) is unknown, however, sporadic cases have been reported. Human immunodeficiency virus -1 and 2 differentiation is not part of most South African public laboratories’ testing algorithm. Human immunodeficiency virus -2 diagnosis using serology assays may be complicated by HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody cross-reactivity.Objectives: To determine the proportion of HIV-2 infections in specimens that tested HIV-1/2 positive at a public laboratory in Tshwane.Method: A total of 480 specimens that were previously tested with fourth generation ELISA platforms (Modular E170 [Roche, Switzerland] and Architect i2000 [Abbott, Germany]) were randomly selected. Human immunodeficiency virus -1 and 2 antibody differentiation testing was carried out using the Multispot HIV-1/2 rapid assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). An in-house nested HIV-2 PCR assay targeting the 5′-long terminal repeats (5′-LTR) region was evaluated and used as a confirmatory test.Results: The study tested 480 HIV-1/2 seropositive patients and their mean age was 36.7 years (range 3–82 years). Of the 480 patients, 292 (60.8%) were female, 182 (37.9%) were male and 6 (1.3%) were not specified. Human immunodeficiency virus differentiation results were as follows: 466 (97.1%) were positive for only HIV-1 antibodies, 11 (2.3%) [95%CI: (0.98%; 3.74%)] were positive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies, 3 (0.6%) were negative for both antibodies and none were positive for only HIV-2 antibodies. Of the 11 specimens with both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies, seven had sufficient volume for confirmatory testing and were all negative on the in-house HIV-2 PCR assay.Conclusion: The multispot HIV-1/2 rapid assay demonstrated cross-reactivity between HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies. Human immunodeficiency virus -2 infections were not detected.

Authors: Barkhuizen Nicolene E. , Gumede Bongekile
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Talent management plays an essential role in the retention of competent employees in the workplace.Research purpose: The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between talent management, job satisfaction and voluntary turnover intentions of employees in a selected South African government institution.Motivation for the study: Talent management research within the context of South African government institutions has yet to reach its full potential.Research design, approach, and method: This study followed a quantitative research design. Data was collected from employees at the head office of the selected government institution (N = 208). A Talent management measure, job satisfaction questionnaire and a voluntary turnover intention questionnaire were distributed.Findings: The results showed a weak leadership talent mindset. Talent management practices such as talent development, performance management, talent retention strategies and compensation practices were poorly applied. Almost half of the sample was dissatisfied with their jobs, whilst 68% considered quitting their jobs. Talent management practices were significantly related to job satisfaction and voluntary turnover intentions. Job satisfaction moderated the relationship between talent management and voluntary turnover intentions.Management implications: Government leaders are encouraged to adopt a talent mindset that will instil a talent culture where talented individuals are allowed to add value and contribute to the success of the institution.Value add: This research adds to the limited body of research done on talent management in the public sector context.Conclusions: This research highlights the importance of talent management in contributing to critical individual outcomes required for sustainable government institutions.
The effect of Instagram conspicuous consumptive behaviour on the intention to purchase luxury goods: A developing country’s perspective
Authors: Madzunya Ntsundeni , Viljoen Kim , Cilliers Liezel
Published: March 2021

Background: Social media has grown to such a large extent that it has become a primary source of information amongst consumers online. Consequently, South Africa has seen an exponential growth in the use of Instagram.Objective: The study investigates the effect of Instagram conspicuous consumptive behaviour on the intention to purchase luxury goods.Methodology: Data collected from 364 South African respondents through a quantitative survey demonstrated the extent to which Instagram affected conspicuous consumptive buying behaviours. The survey was distributed via social media and the results were analysed using structured equation modelling.Results: The study revealed that although Instagram usage intensity effects conspicuous consumptive behaviour, electronic-word-of-mouth (eWOM) credibility does not. This is because respondents considered Instagram as a platform where users deliberately display the positive aspects of their lives as opposed to its objective state. Furthermore, the study revealed users on Instagram display high levels of conspicuous behaviour that they intend to transform into luxury purchases.Conclusion: Results from the study contribute to luxury marketers and other stakeholders in creating social media strategies and policies whilst providing valuable insight in understanding online conspicuous behaviours.
The generative relationship between job quality, innovation, and employment
Authors: Mathieu Christopher , Boethius Susanne
Published: March 2021

Recent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation. This is theorized as the interaction of two systems – job quality and innovation systems. Increased employment and improved job quality are found to result from innovation, while specific employment dimensions are found to impact innovation and job quality. Much of the evidence for this recursive interaction between innovation, job quality and employment derives from qualitative and quantitative studies carried out under the Horizon 2020 project QuInnE that specifically targeted these interrelations for analysis. Findings largely support the skill-biased technical change thesis, leading to the conclusion that while innovation tends to improve job quality, it will exacerbate societal inequalities. Strong evidence is also presented from several studies that higher innovation results from higher job quality, in line with previous research. None of these relationships are found to operate in a deterministic manner, and the actions of management, workers and the social partners play important mediating roles.
Sustainable work for health and job longevity
Authors: Albin Maria , Bodin Theo , Wadensjö Eskil
Published: March 2021

While improved public health in groups with high or middle socioeconomic status (e.g. educational level) permits many to work for more years, the gap is widening for less advantaged groups, such as those with only compulsory level education. Within manual jobs, individual health status and the challenges of physical demands exceed the physical capacity of many middle-aged, and with a low bargaining power, constitute major threats to job longevity. Artificial intelligence and digitization are also rapidly transforming the labour market, especially for low-mid grade (level) white-collar workers. Young workers often have insecure job contracts, while older workers may have a permanent position but have a fear of leaving a safe position for a new one, and ultimately may be forced to leave their job when they are unable to meet the demands.

Current economic incentives to prolong working life – often combined with more restrictive unemployment and disability benefits – may overall increase work participation but may also decrease sustainability in the more disadvantaged part of the labour market.

Recent research suggests that unemployment is the most important factor behind lost working years among workers with less education, and that primary prevention focused on the work environment rather than individual health promotion (lifestyle habits), will enhance sustainability together with inclusive welfare systems. Resilience, or reduced vulnerability, in the workforce on a macro- and workplace level can be achieved by well-established societal measures.
An Unparalleled Sexual Dimorphism of Sperm Whale Encephalization
Authors: Cozzi Bruno , Mazzariol Sandro , Podestà Michela , Zotti Alessandro , Huggenberger Stefan
Published: March 2021

The sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) is the largest toothed whales and possesses the highest absolute values for brain weight on the planet (together with the killer whale Orcinus orca). Former calculations of the encephalization quotient (EQ), which is used to compare brain size of different mammalian species, showed that the sperm whale brain is smaller than expected for its body mass. However, the data reported in the literature and formerly used to calculate the sperm whale EQ suffered from a potential bias due to the tendency to measure mostly larger males of this extreme sexually dimorphic species. Accordingly, we found that the brains of female sperm whales are close to the absolute weight range of the males, but, given the much lower body mass of females, their EQ results more than double of what reported before for the whole species, and is thus nearly into the primate range (female EQ = 1.28, male EQ = 0.56). This sexual dimorphism is unique among mammals. Female sperm whales live in large families in which social interactions and inter-individual communication are essential, while adult males live solitarily. Thus the particular sex-specific behavior of SWs may have led to a maternally-driven social evolution, and eventually contributed to achieve female EQ values (but not male EQs) among the highest ever calculated for mammals with respect to their large body mass.
California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) Can Follow Human Finger Points and Glances

Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to determine whether California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) are capable of using subtle human gestural cues in a series of object choice tests. Four sea lions, housed at Parc Astérix Dolphinarium (Plailly, France), were tested using three gestural cues: hip-based finger points, chest-based finger points and eye glances (no head movement involved). Above chance performance was found in response to these cues in 4/4, 2/4, and 1/4 sea lions, respectively, suggesting that the sea lions were able to generalize their response from conspicuous pointing gestures to subtle finger pointing, as well as to eye glance cue for one subject. Discrepancies in accuracy rates between the cues confirmed however that conspicuousness of the pointing gesture is determinant for the ability of the sea lions to exploit it efficiently. These findings reinforce the hypothesis that human-socialization of undomesticated species can lead some individuals to develop an affinity for interpreting very subtle human gestural cues.

Authors: Tandan Monika , Kohli Aditi
Published: March 2021

Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal system. The main reason for the unsuccessful root canal treatment is the lack of knowledge of anatomic variations and the characteristics of the different teeth. A mandibular first molar with the third distal canal is very rare, and its occurrence has been reported to be around 0.6%. This article presents the endodontic management of the first mandibular molar with mid-distal canal, which is not quite common.

A pandemia devida à COVID‑19 implicou o confinamento da população pediátrica no domicílio, condicionando alterações das rotinas académicas, das atividades de lazer e das relações com pares e familiares. As crianças e jovens com doença mental apresentam vulnerabilidades específicas, podendo ser afetadas de forma particular. O presente estudo pretende avaliar a evolução da sintomatologia psiquiátrica ‑ nos domínios do humor, ansiedade e alterações de comportamento ‑ numa população pedopsiquiátrica durante o confinamento devido à COVID‑19. Procedeu‑se à colheita de dados através de uma entrevista telefónica ao principal cuidador das crianças/jovens (para sintomas psiquiátricos e variáveis qualitativas) e do preenchimento online do questionário Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Os dados foram posteriormente trabalhados estatisticamente em SPSS. A amostra final é constituída por um total de 502 pacientes. Constatou‑se um aumento global das horas de ecrã, paralelamente a alterações nas horas de atividade física e no sono. Adicionalmente, apurou‑se um agravamento dos sintomas de tristeza, irritabilidade, ansiedade e em menor escala, do comportamento. Verificou‑se que estas variações sintomáticas estavam estatisticamente correlacionadas com a perceção do cuidador relativamente à variação da qualidade da relação durante o confinamento. Apresentando vulnerabilidades específicas, esta população pode ser afetada diferencialmente consoante o diagnóstico e o contexto sociofamiliar. Estudos longitudinais são justificáveis, bem como análises que permitam identificar fatores de risco e fatores protetores.
