Authors: Kumar Sushil , Machiwal Deepesh , Dayal Devi , Mishra A. K.
Published: March 2017

Growth and development of huge livestock population of Kachchh is dependent on availability of quality fodder. The quality fodder shortage can be partially met out by cultivating grasses-legumes in intercropping systems. Therefore, this study with the aim of identifying best grass-legume intercropping system for enhanced quality fodder production was undertaken in randomized complete block design with three replications at Bhuj Gujarat, India. Dicanthium annulatum in combination of Clitoria ternatia and Stylosanthes hamata recorded 8096 and 8040 kg ha-1 fresh herbage and 4665 and 4622 kg ha-1 dry matter yield, respectively. Further, Dicanthium annulatum+Clitoria ternatia and Dicanthium annulatum+Stylosanthes hamata resulted significantly maximum crude protein yield, 685 and 668 kg ha-1, respectively over rest of the treatments. Thus, it may be concluded that Dicanthium annulatum (DA) grass based intercropping systems are the best grass-legume intercropping system for enhanced quality fodder production for the arid condition of the Kachchh for overall development of livestock sector.

Authors: Borlachenco Natascha Goes Cintra , Barbosa Gonçalves Ariadne
Published: March 2017

A Lei 12.651 surgiu da necessidade dos agropecuaristas em aumentar a sua produção versus a conservação da vegetação nativa. Assim, é possível aumentar a produção agropecuária consonante a Lei vigente, podendo citar o decreto que trata do Programa Mato Grosso do Sul Mais Sustentável. É importante que todos os proprietários de terra venham seguir as recomendações que estão previstas na lei para que o Estado não venha enfrentar a escassez de água que ocorreu em São Paulo em 2014.

Published: March 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de pesquisar 20 colaboradores em quatro escolas particulares na região do Alto Vale do Itajaí, Santa Catarina, no intuito de investigar como o corpo administrativo dessas instituições percebe a atuação do psicólogo nessa modalidade de organização. Com delineamento de levantamento de dados, ancorado em parâmetros exploratórios e descritivos e abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa trouxe como resultado a clara importância do psicólogo nas organizações, porém com uma representação baseada na atuação calcada em modelos clínicos. As questões organizacionais ficaram à deriva; não houve menção à figura do psicólogo como alguém que deveria ter o compromisso de conhecer a realidade do mundo do trabalho, especialmente a realidade social local, para poder compreender os fenômenos que se estabelecem no mundo corporativo. Assim, as instituições laborais continuam necessitando de ajuda nas questões que abrangem tanto a organização, quanto a qualidade de vida e saúde mental do seu quadro funcional.

Published: March 2017

It has been shown that diabetes causes a decrease in antioxidant capacity. Since the decrease of antioxidant capacities are related to the pathology of diabetic retinopathy; we aimed to evaluate the effect of Astaxanthin (ASTA), a powerful natural antioxidant, on catalase content in retinal tissue. Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into four groups (n =8-12 for each group): Control, Control-treated, Diabetic and Diabetic-treated groups. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg body weight, intravenously). Animals with a blood glucose more than 350 mg were selected as diabetic animals. Treatment with ASTA, (20 mg/kg) was administrated orally once a day by gavages over six weeks. After six weeks the final blood glucose concentration and body weight were measured. The animals were then euthanized by a lethal dose of Ketamine and Diazepam, the eyeballs removed and the retinas quickly extracted for catalase (CAT) measurement and histopathological assessments. Hyperglycemia decreased the enzymatic activity of CAT in retinal tissue of the Diabetic group but, with ASTA treatment, it returned toward normal value and ASTA treatment in Control-treated group increased the CAT capacity significantly. Retinal ganglion cell layer (RGC) in both Diabetic and Diabetic-treated groups showed fluid retention and edema but in the Diabetic-treated group, it was lower than inthe Diabetic group. We suggest that the increase of CAT activity and decrease of fluid retention in the Diabetic-treated group compared with the Diabetic group are related to the ability of ASTA to balance excess ROS production.

EMODIN DOWNREGULATES CELL PROLIFERATION MARKERS DURING DMBA INDUCED ORAL CARCINOGENESIS IN GOLDEN SYRIAN HAMSTERS
Authors: Manimaran Asokan , Buddhan Rajamanickam , Manoharan Shanmugam
Published: March 2017

Background: Cell-cycle disruption is the major characteristic features of neoplastic transformation and the status of cell-cycle

regulators can thus be utilized to assess the prognostic significance in patients with cancer. The PCNA, cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK6

and survivin expression in the buccal mucosa was utilized to evaluate the Emodin efficacy on abnormal cell proliferation during

7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced oral carcinogenesis in golden Syrian hamsters.

Materials and methods: Topical application of DMBA, three times a week for 14 weeks, on the hamsters' buccal pouches

developed well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

Results: Cyclin D1 and PCNA over-expression and up-regulation of CDK4, CDK6 and survivin were noticed in the buccal

mucosa of hamsters treated with DMBA alone. Emodin administration (50mg/kg b.w) orally to hamsters treated with DMBA

down-regulated the expression of cell proliferation markers in the buccal mucosa.

Conclusions: The anti-cell proliferative role of Emodin is owing to its modulating efficacy on cell-cycle markers towards the

tumor suppression during DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis.

Authors: Maroyi Alfred
Published: March 2017

Background: Local communities in sub-Saharan Africa have a long history of medicinal plant usage. Like in other

parts of the developing world, rural and urban communities are still dependent on herbal medicines for primary health

care, and the use of herbal medicines is still an integral part of their daily life and socio-cultural life style. The objective

of this paper is to summarise information on the ethnobotany and pharmacology of Kirkia acuminata Oliv. throughout

its distributional range.

Materials and Methods: The information documented in this article is derived from books, theses, scientific journals

and reports obtained from library collections, Scopus, Pubmed, MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar and

Science Direct.

Results: Kirkia acuminata is the most known and widely distributed Kirkia species in the genus and is one of the most

popular and promising plant resources due to its several beneficial uses. Kirkia acuminata is used to treat abdominal

pains, backache, cholera, constipation, cough, diarrhea, dysentery, snake bites, toothache and wounds. Other

applications include its use as charcoal; hedge, ornamental or shade; stock feed, timber and source of water during

drought periods. Preliminary phytochemical assessment of roots and stem bark of K. acuminata showed presence of

lignans, neo-lignans, nor-carotinoids and other compounds. The extracts of K. acuminata exhibited antibacterial and

antimycobacterial activities. These phytochemical compounds may be responsible for the medicinal uses and biological

activities demonstrated by K. acuminata.

Conclusion: Detailed research is required aimed at exploring mode of action of bioactive compounds of Kirkia

acuminata that are responsible for the documented pharmacological effects. Kirkia acuminata is an important plant

species that has potential to contribute to the primary health care and livelihood improvement of local communities in

the geographical areas where it is indigenous and found in abundance.
MORIN MITIGATES OXIDATIVE STRESS, APOPTOSIS AND INFLAMMATION IN CEREBRAL ISCHEMIC RATS
Authors: Chen Yanrong , Li Yanke , Xu Huali , Li Gang , Ma Yunxia , Pang Yu Jun
Published: March 2017

Background: Morin is a flavanoid which exhibits potent antioxidant activity in various oxidative stress related

diseases. The current study was attempted to scrutinize the preclinical bio-efficacy of morin on focal ischemia.

Methods: The animal model of focal cerebral ischemic injury was done by midbrain carotid artery occlusion (MCAO)

method, followed by Morin (30mg/kg) administration for seven days.

Results: The outcome of the study showed that treatment with morin displayed positive effects in reducing the focal

cerebral ischemia. This effect was evident with the improvements in neurological deficits, reduction in MDA content

and elevation of antioxidant levels (SOD, GSH and Gpx). Furthermore, protein expression of Bax and caspase-3 were

effectively down-regulated, whilst the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly elevated. On the other hand, the mRNA

expression of proinflammatory cytokines was significantly reduced in focal cerebral ischemic rats upon morin

intervention.

Conclusion: Thus, the beneficial effects of morin on cerebral ischemia assault may result from the reduction of

oxidative stress, inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation.
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIHYPERTENSIVE EFFECTS OF ANGIOTENSIN-ICONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORY PEPTIDES IN THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN AND KALLIKREIN KININ SYSTEMS
Authors: Manoharan Sivananthan , Shuib Adawiyah Suriza , Abdullah Noorlidah
Published: March 2017

Background: The commercially available synthetic angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are known to

exert negative side effects which have driven many research groups globally to discover the novel ACE inhibitors.

Method: Literature search was performed within the PubMed, ScienceDirect.com and Google Scholar.

Results: The presence of proline at the C-terminal tripeptide of ACE inhibitor can competitively inhibit the ACE

activity. The effects of other amino acids are less studied leading to difficulties in predicting potent peptide sequences.

The broad specificity of the enzyme may be due to the dual active sites observed on the somatic ACE. The inhibitors

may not necessarily competitively inhibit the enzyme which explains why some reported inhibitors do not have the

common ACE inhibitor characteristics. Finally, the in vivo assay has to be carried out before the peptides as the

antihypertensive agents can be claimed. The peptides must be absorbed into circulation without being degraded, which

will affect their bioavailability and potency. Thus, peptides with strong in vitro IC50 values do not necessarily have the

same effect in vivo and vice versa.

Conclusion: The relationship between peptide amino acid sequence and inhibitory activity, in vivo studies of the active

peptides and bioavailability must be studied before the peptides as antihypertensive agents can be claimed.

of pancreatitis alone and in combination with heparin.

Material and methods: Pancreatitis was induced pancreatitis by cerulean (50μg/kg, i.p.) five times at an interval of 1 h

without any pretreatment of drug. Rats were treated with SS (100 and 200 mg/kg, p. o.) and heparin (150 U/kg, i.p.)

alone and in combination for the duration of a week. Later pancreatic weight and blood flow was estimated and

different biochemical parameters like concentration of D-dimer and Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and activity of amylase and

lipase were determined in blood of pancreatitis rats. Moreover effect of drug treatment on DNA synthesis and

histopathology was also estimated on cerulean induced pancreatitis rats.

Result: Results of this study suggest that treatment with SS alone and in combination with heparin significantly

increase in prothrombin time and pancreatic blood flow than negative control group. There was significant decrease in

concentration of IL-1β and D-dimer and activity of amylase and lipase in SS and heparin treated group than negative

control group. Pancreatic DNA synthesis was also found to be reduced in SS and heparin alone and in combination

treated group. Histopathology study also reveals that treatment with SS and heparin alone and in combination reduces

edema, hemorrhages, leukocyte infiltration in the TS of pancreatic tissues. Conclusion: Present study concludes that

treatment with SS alone effectively manages the pancreatitis by ceasing the inflammatory pathway and potentiates the

effect of heparin in the management of pancreatitis.

Medición multidimensional de la pobreza: estado de la cuestión y aplicación al ODS-1
Authors: Larrú Ramos José María
Published: March 2017

Este artículo presenta una revisión de las opciones métricas disponibles para lograr que el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 1, contenido en la Agenda 2030 de Desarrollo Sostenible aprobada por Naciones Unidas en 2015, sea realmente universal y comprometa a todos los países, no solo a los denominados países en desarrollo. Dado que la segunda meta de dicha Agenda propone “reducir al menos a la mitad la proporción de hombres, mujeres y niños de todas las edades que viven en pobreza en todas sus dimensiones con arreglo a las definiciones nacionales” el artículo cobra sentido e importancia al ofrecer un panorama de las experiencias que ya existen sobre medición de pobreza multidimensional incluyendo las de América Latina y de Europa. Partiendo de la metodología común de Alkire y Foster que superan algunas de las limitaciones de la tradicional línea de pobreza monetaria,se evidencia que existe una oportuna flexibilidad de elección en dimensiones, umbrales, ponderaciones y líneas de corte divisorias entre pobres y no pobres.

Published: March 2017

Este documento esboza avances investigativos en torno a la relación de la diáspora científica colombiana y la cooperación internacional en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CTeI). Metodológicamente, se realizó una búsqueda en fuentes documentales de información, con objeto de desarrollar un estado del arte preliminar; presentar el marco institucional correspondiente y describir el proceso emigratorio del capital humano especializado, resaltando su evolución histórica y países de destino. Se destaca que Colciencias, ente rector en materia de investigación e innovación de Colombia, no dispone de canales oficiales de comunicación con la diáspora. Adicional, la información disponible sobre emigrantes calificados es limitada, lo que sugiere que por lo menos en el corto plazo, será difícil implementar políticas efectivas de repatriación cuya finalidad sea atraer los nacionales con mayores calificaciones residentes en el extranjero.
El “double bottom line” de las microfinanzas ¿crisis epistémica?
Authors: Jiménez-Castillo Manuel A.
Published: March 2017

En este trabajo pretendemos resolver algunos de las cuestiones epistémicas más determinantes que condicionan el éxito de los estudios micro financieros a través del llamado “double bottom line”. Desde su examen analítico demostraremos las carencias de un instrumento incapacitado para resolver sostenibilidad y reducción de la pobreza simultáneamente. Para ello dividimos este ensayo en dos apartados fundamentales: uno más específico acerca de la contradicción presente y otro donde podamos explicar las razones que llevan a pensar las microfinanzas desde un reduccionismo gnoseológico sin precedentes. Concluiremos como desde un enfoque experimental no es posible resolver la contradicción inherente del sistema micro-financiero que queda definitivamente constreñido por una realidad que le sobrepasa.

La frecuencia cada vez mayor con la que el mundo tiende a diagnosticarsedesde espacios globales, no debe actuar como distractor a la necesidadde analizar los entornos propios y locales. En efecto, el debate sobre la linealidad y universalidad de la historia parece quedar superado ante la re-significación creciente de los entornos locales y sus propias narrativas; sin embargo, no sería oportuno desligar un análisis del otro y aun cuando existen posiciones que asumen tal radicalidad, el ejercicio de pensar la sociedad en la mayoría de sus casos no admite tales posiciones extremas.
Sustentabilidade em Comunidades Tradicionais de Faxinal: Um Olhar a Partir do ICMS Ecológico
Authors: Kuzma Edson Luis , Doliveira Sergio Luis Dias , Novak Maricleia Aparecida Leite , Gonzaga Carlos Alberto Marçal
Published: March 2017

O ICMS Ecológico é uma modalidade de tributação extrafiscal, instituído inicialmente como uma política de compensação, na forma de subsídios e como instrumento de promoção da justiça fiscal. Seu objetivo é dar embasamento e incentivo a ação voluntárias dos municípios na busca pela conservação e ampliação das áreas de composição florestal, recursos hídricos e comunidades tradicionais, pela ampliação da receita dos impostos, mas sem comprometer a qualidade de vida da população e a disponibilidade de recursos naturais. O ICMS Ecológico passa a assumir uma dimensão de compensação, tanto no aspecto ambiental quanto social, mas também de incentivo à criação, defesa e monitoramento de áreas de preservação, entre elas, a dos faxinais. Os faxinais, sendo consideradas comunidades que preservam seus modos tradicionais de vida e produção das relações de trabalho, geram ao município o direito de recebimento de ICMS Ecológico, por meio da ARESUR (Área Especial de Uso Regulamentado). Assim sendo, o objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar a caracterização do faxinal por meio da Teoria das Dimensões da Sustentabilidade de Sachs (1993) e apontar o ICMS Ecológico como uma alternativa que pode garantir a continuidade e a preservação desse modo tradicional de organização comunitária. O faxinal é abordado e apresentado de acordo com as cinco dimensões propostas pelo autor, que compreende o aspecto social, o econômico, o ecológico, o espacial e o cultural, numa composição que permite contemplar os diversos elementos que caracterizam a comunidade faxinalense.

Authors: Souza Eros Viggiano de , Gosling Marlusa De Sevilha
Published: March 2017

A real contribuição da Tecnologia da Informação (TI) para a geração de valor é ainda bastante discutida, sendo que resultados de diversas pesquisas são divergentes. Alguns autores sustentam que o motivo das divergências pode residir na excessiva agregação dos construtos que se referem à TI (BRYNJOLFSSON; HITT, 2003) e ao desempenho organizacional (RAY; BARNEY; MUHANNA, 2004). Esta pesquisa empregou um modelo que procura avaliar o valor de negócio da TI por meio da relação entre os recursos internos da TI e o desempenho de processos de negócio da cadeia de valor (MOONEY; GURBAXANI; KRAEMER, 1996). Após pré-teste para verificação da linguagem do questionário, coletou-se dados de 96 empresas da área de serviços de Belo Horizonte por meio de survey transversal. Os dados foram validados e analisados com o emprego de estatística univariada e multivariada, onde Partial Least Squares Path Model foi a técnica central. Verificou-se que o construto práticas de TI, formado por uso da arquitetura de Internet, intensidade de transações digitais e intensidade de comunicações digitais internas, apresentou relação relevante com o desempenho de todos processos de negócio da cadeia de valor e razoável efeito preditivo. O modelo avaliado apresentou grau de ajuste geral elevado, indicando que a TI contribui para a geração de valor na organização. Do ponto de vista gerencial, o estudo demonstra a importância do desenvolvimento das práticas do TI e, ao explorar um modelo teórico multidimensional orientado por processos de negócio, contribui academicamente por apresentar novas perspectivas para avaliação do valor a TI.
