Antibiotic resistance profile of local thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis isolated from Maysan province soil
Authors: Banoon Shaima , Ali Zahra , Salih Talal
Published: July 2020

The key concern for public health is that bacterial strains isolated from various ecosystems are immune to antibiotics used in human medicine, thus dramatically limiting therapeutic options and threatening the lives of infected people. The present study aims to reveal the antibiotics profile of fiftysix isolates of local thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis isolated from different environmental soil sites in Maysan city, Iraq. The antimicrobial agent resistance profile of B. licheniformis isolates was performed using the disc diffusion assay according to Kirby-Bauer susceptibility test protocol. The results showed that isolates were resistance against cefepime (n=56; 100%), amoxicillin (n=13; 23.3%) and ampicillin (n=52; 92.9%); and intermediate (n=56; 100%) against cephalothin and naldixic acid. The percentage resistance was low for aztreonam (n=4; 7%), chloramphenicol (n=3; 5%), clotrimazole (n=6; 10%), novobiocin (n=2; 3.5%) and ticarcillin (n=3; 5%). On the other hand, all isolates were sensitive (n=56; 100%) towards the following antibiotics: amikacin, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, imipenem, netilmycin, gentamicin, nitrofurantion, rifampin, trimethoprim and vancomycin. The results of this study suggest that the Iraqi thermophilic B. licheniformis isolates are variable in their susceptibility towards the standards antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the presence of cefepime, amoxicillin, ampicillin, cephalothin and naldixic resistant isolates of B. licheniformis in Iraqi soils is of concern about how resistance could spread to other bacteria, and ultimately to humans.

Published: July 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic dissimilarity of different jabuticaba tree accessions from Prudente de Moraes, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, based on fruit characters. The genetic diversity study was carried out based on characters evaluated in fruits, and with the elimination of redundant descriptors, nine characters were selected to estimate genetic divergence and perform clustering. The Standardized Mean Euclidian Distance was used as dissimilarity measure. The clustering methods used were Tocher and the nearest neighbor. Correlation analysis among characters was performed by Pearson correlation (p> 0.05). Accessions 4, 5, 7 and 12 have potential for in improvement programs aiming for productivity. The character that contributed most to the genetic diversity of the accessions were the soluble solids important for the processing industry and for fresh consumption. Genotypes showed variability for most characters analyzed showing the possibility of selection and identification of parents that will be used in future crossings.

The semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil is characterized by long drought periods, and the use of saline waters appears as an alternative for the expansion of irrigated areas. Associated with the use of these waters, silicon fertilization constitutes an important attenuator of salt stress. In this perspective, this study aimed to evaluate the phytomass production and quality of the passion fruit cultivar ‘Gigante Amarelo’ grown with saline water and silicon fertilization. The experiment was conducted in a plant nursery belonging to the Center of Agrifood Science and Technology, in the municipality of Pombal-PB. A completely randomized block design in a 5 x 5 factorial scheme was used, referring to five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water (0.3, 1.0, 1.7, 2.4, and 3.1 dS m-1) and five doses of silicon fertilization (0; 25; 50; 75, and 100 g of potassium silicate/plant), with four replications and two plants per plot. The phytomass accumulation (leaves, stem, and roots), as well as the total dry phytomass, shoot dry phytomass, root/shoot ratio, and the quality index of Dickson were evaluated. The data obtained were subjected to the F-test at 0.01 and 0.05 level of probability. The electrical conductivity of water from 0.3 dS m-1 caused the decrease of phytomass production in seedlings of the passion fruit cultivar ‘Gigante Amarelo’, although it is possible to produce good quality passion fruit seedlings with water salinity up to 3.1 dS m-1. The doses of silicon fertilization mitigated the effect of salt stress on the root/shoot ratio of plants of the passion fruit cultivar ‘Gigante Amarelo’.

Authors: Izzan Abdillah Iman , Octaviani Ary , Purwanto Purwanto
Published: July 2020

Lubricants are materials that can reduce friction between two components. Lubricants are very important to keep the engine from being damaged quickly. Currently lubricants on the market generally comes from petroleum derivatives with limited availability. Therefore, technology needs to be developed to look for other raw materials as a substitute for petroleum based lubricating oil, namely by utilizing the potential of existing vegetable oils, one of which is palm oil. Biolubricant made from palm oil will be made using the method of transesterification, epoxidation and ring opening reaction. To increase yield and high product quality, a catalyst in the form of H-Zeolite is used. So that this study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of H-Zeolite catalyst to ring opening reactions. The quality of lube base oil could be indicated from density, viscosity index and acid number. Acid number will smaller in presence higher content in 10% weight ratio of H-Zeolite as catalyst and EPOME also higher temperature of ring-opening reaction because the catalyst H-Zeolit will work more effective in temperature 75oC. Other evidence is of density and viscosity index would show good value than smaller amount of H-Zeolit and lower temperature of reaction. Advices for the future research are the purification needs to be done not only physically but also chemically to maximize the results obtained. Preferably on the reaction of opening the epoxides rings used a long chain alcohol compounds that have a high viscosity and boiling point to obtain a better viscosities value

The use of paint waste as raw material for concrete brick mix can significantly reduce the ecotoxicity and toxicity, it can be used as a waste management model.
What does translanguaging-for-equity really involve? An interactional analysis of a 9th grade English class
Authors: Mendoza Anna
Published: July 2020

While much research on translanguaging is in bilingual and heritage language classrooms, it is under-researched in K-12 English-medium education. To better understand translanguaging in this context, this study applied interactional sociolinguistics, including analytical categories adapted from Conversation-for-Learning (Kasper and Kim, 2015; Kim, 2019), to a ninth grade English class in Honolulu with students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The study examined interactional sequences as students did literary analysis of novels and poetry over 13 weeks. These sequences involved appropriation of others’ lexical phrases, collaborative word searches, miscommunication repair, and knowledge checks. Translanguaging, when it occurred, indicated joint meaning-making across linguistic asymmetries, and was not only a means of thinking aloud using an integrated language repertoire, but a form of helping peers as students signaled to each other to adopt language, teach them something, or work through a problem together, creating opportunities to learn. These findings suggest that equity hinges not only on allowing students to learn using their whole linguistic repertoires but on social and ethical dispositions made apparent through interactional analyses.
The special atom space and Haar wavelets in higher dimensions
Authors: Kwessi Eddy , de Souza Geraldo , Djitte Ngalla , Ndiaye Mariama
Published: July 2020

In this note, we will revisit the special atom space introduced in the early 1980s by Geraldo De Souza and Richard O’Neil. In their introductory work and in later additions, the space was mostly studied on the real line. Interesting properties and connections to spaces such as Orlicz, Lipschitz, Lebesgue, and Lorentz spaces made these spaces ripe for exploration in higher dimensions. In this article, we extend this definition to the plane and space and show that almost all the interesting properties such as their Banach structure, Hölder’s-type inequalities, and duality are preserved. In particular, dual spaces of special atom spaces are natural extension of Lipschitz and generalized Lipschitz spaces of functions in higher dimensions. We make the point that this extension could allow for the study of a wide range of problems including a connection that leads to what seems to be a new definition of Haar functions, Haar wavelets, and wavelets on the plane and on the space.
The potential for learning within hospital learning communities: the interplay between nursing practice and education to support research ability
Authors: Heemskerk Wendy M. , Warning Talitha D. , Brus Frank , Snoeren Miranda M. W. C.
Published: July 2020

Objectives

Nurses must contribute to the development of professional practice and thereby improve quality of care by using their research abilities. Therefore, learning communities comprised of nurses, students and teachers were created in a hospital.

Methods

A qualitative descriptive methodology was used. Three learning communities were purposefully selected, and members were asked open-ended questions about their learning and activities in multiple data collection sessions. Data were analyzed by means of an inductive process.

Results

Both individually and collectively, members learned about research in general, research terminology and methods. They learned about asking questions and critical thinking, and, specifically through collective learning, they learned about the differences between education practices. Activities were carried out primarily to continue personal learning.

Conclusions

Learning within the learning communities was mainly research-oriented and therefore potentially suitable for enhancing research ability. Implications are offered to support the formulation of community activities.
Transience and Tunnel Esperanto: A study of multilingualism, work and relationship-building on a tunnel mining project
Authors: Kraft Kamilla
Published: July 2020

This paper investigates multilingualism as language and communication discourses and practices in a Copenhagen metro tunnel construction project. This project is characterized by transience: continual time-space changes of work organization and staff relations combined. In this scenario, a highly international and multilingual staff composition puts focus on language and communication. Based on interviews with managers and workers from one of the project’s contractors, as well as observations of daily work in the tunnels, the analysis demonstrates participants’ discursive constructions oflanguageandcommunication, sometimes linking these concepts to work, sometimes to relationship-building. I argue that these constructions are closely interlinked with the workplace’s transient status and conditions, and draw out how they have empowering as well as exploitative implications for the workers.

Published: July 2020

Objectives

Obesity is a condition of increased adipose tissue in the body, which is commonly associated with various comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, back pain, and many others. Yoga modules have been designed and validated for obesity; however, we couldn't find any specific module for metabolic syndrome, a condition which includes obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 and/or hypertension together. Keeping this in view, our study aimed to develop and validate a specific generic yoga-based intervention module for metabolic syndrome patients.

Materials and methods

A yoga module was designed based on traditional and contemporary yoga literature as well as published studies. We derived the yoga practices for the module, from these yoga texts and research evidence were already available. The yoga module was sent to 40 yoga experts for their validation.

Results

Twenty-two experts gave their opinion on the usefulness of a yoga module for patients with metabolic syndrome with some suggestions. Of these experts, 73% were males, and 27% were females. Yoga therapy practices with content validity ratio (CVR) >0.08 were included in the final module. In total, 86% (31 of 36 items) of the items in the initial module were retained.

Conclusion

A specific yoga-based module for metabolic syndrome was designed and validated by experts. Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and clinical utility of the module.

Additional clinical validation is suggested.
Free space optics communication system design using iterative optimization
Authors: Lema Gebrehiwet Gebrekrstos
Published: July 2020

Free Space Optics (FSO) communication provides attractive bandwidth enhancement with unlicensed bands worldwide spectrum. However, the link capacity and availability are the major concern in the different atmospheric conditions. The reliability of the link is highly dependent on weather conditions that attenuate the signal strength. Hence, this study focuses to mitigate the weather and geographic effects using iterative optimization on FSO communication. The optimization maximizes the visibility distance while guaranteeing the reliability by minimizing the Bit Error Rate (BER). The wireless optical communication system is designed for the data rate of 10 Gbps. The performance of the proposed wireless optical communication is compared against the literature in terms of visibility distance, quality factor, BER, and Eye diagram at different atmospheric conditions. The simulation results have shown that the proposed work has achieved better performance.

Published: July 2020

First of all, the beam propagation of Super Lorentz Gaussian (SLG) profile is propagated via space, the recent research dealt extensively with the investigation of the propagation of SLG in a level of specified atmospheric. In a turbulent atmosphere of intensity and receiver field, models were derived from a new mathematical expression of intensity and analyzed. Also, to find the power scintillation indicators for the SLG beam in a random turbulence of receiver plane. The equations are obtained for the average receiver-aperture. The new beam of SLG systems generated a modified model when compared with the receiver-aperture averaging. When we revisions the parameters, firstly is started the factor source size, this affected the profile for the power propagation and the analysis proved that the average of the aperture is affected by increasing the distance of propagation length. The enhancement of the average power of the aperture effect reliably with the source size of the initial beam source depends on several factors, including the structure constant, the beam order and static value of source size. Finally, the target of this article is detected a novel of mathematical expression of the receiver intensity is applied in the system of optical communications.

Published: July 2020

The Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve (RPBR) represents the most important region in Honduras for conservation of the biodiversity of the country. From May 2017 to January 2019, we installed 24 camera traps in the RPBR to monitor big mammals, including Myrmecophaga tridactyla. In 1512 camera-trapping hours, the giant anteater was recorded in two photos. The photos presented herein of M. tridactyla are the first records of the species in the core of the RPBR. The protection of a vulnerable species such as M. tridactyla in the RPBR could also help to protect other species (Pecari tajacu, Tayassu pecari, Panthera onca) that are strongly threatened by illegal activities such as hunting, unauthorized access to the core zone, increased lands used for agriculture, and unsustainable exploitation of the natural resources.
Crossed Wires in the Motor City: A Genealogy and Analysis of the 1967 Riots and the 1968 Strike Wave in Detroit
Authors: Tarr Duncan
Published: July 2020

In the years 1967 and 1968 the city of Detroit was the site of two waves of rebellion. The riot of 1967 was one of the largest and most costly urban rebellions in U.S. history. And in the ashes of the ‘67 insurrection a wave of strikes began shutting down the sprawling factories of the auto industry. These strikes were organized by militant Black workers who later founded the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, an organization that characterized itself as the “ideological inheritor” of the riot. This article situates the League within the global moment of 1968, discusses the relationship of work stoppages to circulation struggles, and examines how the participants’ experience in riots, both on the streets of Detroit and in the prisons around the state, informed the praxis and politics of the League.

Published: July 2020

By the methods of MALDI and mass spectroscopy with the detection of positively and negatively charged ions, it was found that the reaction of elemental sulfur and 1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate is accompanied by the opening of the S8 ring. 1H, 13C, 15N and 31P NMR spectroscopy showed that the interaction of S8 and 1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate proceeds exclusively on the oxygen atom of the dimethylphosphate anion carrying a negative charge. Kohn-Sham calculations at B3LYP/STO-3G, B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-311G* levels of theory confirmed that the reaction of S8 with dimethylphosphate anion is possible.

Authors: Strutwolf Holger
Published: July 2020

After a brief introduction to the prehistory of the Editio Critica Maior of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster, the edition itself is presented. First, the path from the collection of material to the creation of the critical apparatus of the edition is traced. Then the presentation of material in the printed Editio Critica Maior is introduced and it is shown how to use it. Since the New Testament tradition is characterized by contamination, which makes the application of the classical “Lachmannian” stemmatology impossible, a new method had to be developed for the penetration of the New Testament manuscript tradition, the so-called Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM), which is explained as short and simple as possible.

Finally, the study introduces the digital Editio Critica Maior and its use and gives an outlook to the future of the Editio Critica Maior as an interactive digital edition of the Greek New Testament.

Uso de redes sociales digitales como estrategia de mercadotecnia en pymes pirotécnicas de Tultepec en el estado de México
Authors: Villagómez Manrique Alan Roberto , Acosta Gonzaga Elizabeth
Published: July 2020

El uso de redes sociales digitales (RSD) como estrategia de mercadotecnia se ha convertido en una práctica fundamental para las empresas de todo el mundo. En México, el 99.8% de las empresas son de tamaño pequeño y mediano (pymes) y, pese a su importancia, existe poca literatura sobre el uso de RSD como estrategia de mercadotecnia en las pymes mexicanas. Asimismo, la industria pirotécnica de Tultepec, Edo. de Méx., produce el 50% de la pirotécnica nacional, emplea hasta el 60% de la población local y se compone principalmente por pymes. Dada la relevancia de este sistema productivo, el objetivo de la investigación es determinar el grado de adopción de RSD como estrategia de mercadotecnia por parte de las empresas pirotécnicas de Tultepec, los principales usos que les dan y, en su ausencia, las razones para no utilizarlas. Para ello, se aplicaron cuestionarios a los dueños de diversas empresas del encadenamiento productivo de pirotecnia (tiendas de materias primas, fabricantes e intermediarios) y se encontró que sólo el 15% de los encuestados utilizan RSD como estrategia de mercadotecnia y las utilizan, principalmente para el posicionamiento de la marca y alcanzar mayores audiencias. Finalmente, se encontró que la principal razón para no utilizarlas es la inseguridad y experiencias relacionadas con la delincuencia. Los resultados obtenidos, exhiben la necesidad de una estrategia de capacitación para los empresarios que conduzca a un uso seguro y eficaz de RSD como herramienta de mercadotecnia.
Small-Scale Nuclear Energy
Authors: Darby Liam , Hansson Amanda , Tisdell Clement
Published: July 2020

Ensuring an ongoing supply of power in a low carbon economy is one of the major national and international challenges that almost every country faces. Investments in alternative and renewable energy technologies have risen steadily over the last decade, particularly since the ratification of the 2030 Paris Agreement. Although reasonable progress has been made as a result of this, even the most developed renewable energy technologies, for example, solar, wind and hydro, cannot satisfy the rapidly growing energy demand of the world. Arguably a non-renewable energy source, nuclear energy may be one clean energy answer for the future. More specifically, small-scale nuclear energy holds considerable potential. Such potential exists in the form of light water small modular reactors (LW-SMRs). These SMRs have the capability to meet the energy independence and the energy security needs of many countries while reducing capital and operating expenditure and environmental and physical footprint. The modularity aspect of this technology allows for varied application, from large towns to rural regions that currently rely on individual generators. It also creates the opportunity of cogeneration with already existing conventional power generation technology to diversify power generation and increase grid stability. LW-SMRs are not a new idea; in fact, they have been used to power U.S. aircraft carriers and submarines for almost 60 years. This case study will address the advantages and disadvantages of the LW-SMR, using the market leader NuScale as an example. NuScale in Oregon, United States, is arguably the most experienced and influential LW-SMR nuclear energy company when it comes to the factory fabrication of LW-SMRs.

Cette contribution analyse l’émergence du rugby en Roumanie comme une discipline de l’élite, circonscrite à Bucarest. Nous argumentons que, alors que ce caractère élitiste vient des origines sociales des joueurs, l’échec à populariser ce sport au-delà des frontières de la capitale renvoie à un problème structurel. Cependant, la particularité la plus intéressante concernant le rugby roumain est son origine française, ce qui fut également et publiquement mis en avant durant la période communiste. Ces deux particularités (ascendance française et statut élitiste) furent excellemment visibles lors la participation de la Roumanie à deux tournois internationaux majeurs qui se tinrent à Paris au lendemain de la Première guerre mondiale, les Jeux interalliés de 1919 (Pershing Games) et les Jeux olympiques de 1924.

Published: July 2020

Spätestens seit der zweiten Runde der Präsidentschaftswahl von 2017 ist die Vorstellung eines tief zerrissenen Landes zum dominanten makrosoziologischen Deutungsrahmen geworden, um gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklungen im heutigen Frankreich einzuordnen. Das Duell zwischen dem wirtschafts- und sozialliberalen Emmanuel Macron und der rechtsextremen Marine Le Pen sei Ausdruck einer Konfliktlinie zwischen einer vorwiegend urbanen, gut ausgebildeten, digital vernetzten und mobilen Bevölkerung und sozial deklassierten Wählerschichten im ländlichen Frankreich, die sich als Verliererinnen von Europäisierungs- und Globalisierungsprozessen sehen. Auf der Grundlage von ethnographischen Arbeiten in einem kleinen Dorf in den Vogesen, in dem der Front National seit 2002 seine Wahlergebnisse mehr als vervierfacht hat, soll diese binäre Sichtweise mit alternativen Hypothesen zum Erfolg von Marine Le Pens Partei im ländlichen Frankreich nuanciert werden.

Magische und ästhetische Affekterzeugung im französischen Schäferspiel um 1600
Authors: Wörsdörfer Anna
Published: July 2020

Der Beitrag zielt darauf ab, die Dynamiken magischer und ästhetischer Affekterzeugung in ihrer Historizität und gattungsspezifischen Bedingtheit am Beispiel der französischen Pastorale zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts auszuloten und erklärbar zu machen. Die im frühneuzeitlichen Denken noch fest verankerte Magie stellt, so eine Leitthese, innerdramatisch ein historisches Erklärungsmuster bereit, nach dem die affektiven Figurenbeziehungen geschlossen und gelöst werden. Gemäß der zweiten These fungiert das Spektakel in theatralischer Perspektive als Bühnenzauber zur Hervorbringung der Affekte von Staunen und Bewunderung und somit als Katalysator ästhetischen Vergnügens bei den Zuschauern, die sich so in ihrer barocken Weltsicht bestätigt sehen.

Restaurantkritiken erfreuen sich, besonders in Frankreich, einer stetig wachsenden Beliebtheit und blicken als Textsorte auf eine längere historische Tradition zurück. Neben dem klassischen medialen Format der Restaurantkritik in Form von Restau­rantführern oder Fachzeitschriften ist in den letzten Jahren eine Verlagerung der „Textsorte“ in den hypertextuellen Raum zu konstatieren. Dieser Entwicklung und dem sich dadurch bietenden Potenzial sollen im vorliegenden Beitrag, der die lingu­istische Beschreibung französischer Restaurantkritiken im Internet zum Ziel hat, Rechnung getragen werden. Der Versuch, Online-Restaurantkritiken auf eine ein­zige kommunikative Funktion festzulegen, muss aufgrund der Komplexität von Hy­pertexten, in denen unterschiedliche Funktionen ineinandergreifen, scheitern. Bei der Sprachhandlung des Bewertens bzw. Kritisierens scheint es sich jedoch um die dominierende, d.h. textsortenkonstitutive Funktion zu handeln, die allen unter­suchten Textexemplaren gemeinsam ist. Weitere Sprachhandlungsmuster, wie z.B. das Informieren oder Beschreiben, lassen sich hingegen als untergeordnete Text­funktionen einordnen. Der Fokus der sprachlichen Analyse wird daher auf dem Sprachhandlungsmuster des Bewertens/Kritisierens liegen. Um die Frage zu be­ant­worten, mittels welcher sprachlicher Ressourcen die kommunikative Hand­lung des Bewertens im Korpus umgesetzt wird, werden Themenbereiche identifiziert, die in den Restaurantkritiken einer Bewertung unterliegen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Textproduzenten großen Wert auf die kreative und individuelle Gestaltung ihrer Texte legen, was sich beispielsweise im Gebrauch von Authentizitätsstrategien widerspiegelt.
Cultura global/realización local

A partir de su estreno a lo largo del mundo durante la década de 1990, el anime y el manga comenzaron a conquistar todos los mercados, y especialmente el último y más grande que aún se les resistía, los Estados Unidos. Nuestro objetivo aquí es trazar algunas líneas iniciales de investigación en la cual proponemos aproximarnos al fenómeno, y en particular, su impacto en el mercado argentino. A partir de la bibliografía existente es posible comprobar la presencia dominante del manganime importado en el país, pero también diferencias con respecto a los ejemplos anglosajones más estudiados. Nuestra hipótesis sostiene que si, bien la difusión y éxito de los productos culturales japonés ha sido una cuestión global, la realización en cada mercado estuvo atada a particularidades propias de cada caso, desde la historia de la industria cultural en cada país a las condiciones socioculturales que informaron la apropiación.

Specimens of the Neotropical dog-faced bats of the genus Cynomops Thomas, 1920 are poorly represented in museum collections, and the geographical distributions of the eight species are not well known. We report voucher specimens that confirm the presence of C. greenhalli Goodwin, 1958 in the Tropical Wet Forest of Costa Rica. These specimens represent an extension of the distribution into the Caribbean Central America.

This study aimed to evaluate the growth and meat productivity of F1 crossbreds between Central Highland wild boards with Mong Cai and Soc pigs. The experiment was conducted on 2 groups of F1 pigs including F1 crossbred between native wild boars and Mong Cai pigs (RxM), F1 crossbred between of native wild boars and Soc (RxS) pigs, and 2 groups of Mong Cai pigs (M) and Soc pigs (S). The results demonstrated that the growth of F1 pig of RxM group was higher than RxS group after 3 months and 8 months of breeding. The carcass analysis showed that there was no difference in the slaughter weight of pigs between the RxM and M groups, as well as between the RxS and S groups. Pigs from the S group showed the lowest hanging weight (17.60 ± 0.52 kg) and lowest dressed weight (14.92 ± 0.49 kg) among the groups. There was no difference in the hanging weight and dressed weight among the RxM and M groups. However, the ratio of hanging weight (75.95 ± 0.23%) and dressed weight ratio (65.00 ± 0.18%) of RxM group is higher than M group (72.53 ± 0.44% and 62.24 ± 0.51%, respectively). The RxS group also had a higher percentage of hanging weight (74.28 ± 0.57%) and dressed weight (63.73 ± 0.48%) than the S group (71.10 ± 0.40% and 60.25 ± 0.50%, respectively). In this study, we also found that F1 hybrid pigs exhibited a lower backfat thickness than the M and S groups. In contrast, the backskin thickness increased in F1 hybrid groups. The above results showed that the hybridization of with Mong Cai and Soc pigs with Central Highland wild boars could improve the meat productivity of their F1 generation.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are organelles that have their own genome in a cell. The chloroplast genome provides information on the evolutionary relationship and species identification, valuable markers for transgenic plants, and cloning plants, etc. The application of Next Generation Sequencing has improved the chloroplast genome sequencing. However, the assembly process of chloroplast genome is quite complicated due to the need of different complex bioinformatics tools, high configuration computer and laborous. Here we configured the process of assembling the chloroplast genome of Paphiopedilum delenatii. The assembled chloroplast genome was 160,955 bp in length, including a large and a small single copy region (LSC, SSC) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR). Total genes were 130 genes, GC content is 35.6%. Genome data was mapped and registered in GenBank under accession number MK463585. The optimal parameters for genome assembling were recommended. This study not only provided information for conservation of the Vietnam endemic Paphiopedilum delenatii species but also supported the genome assemble researches which could be applied on other subjects.

Jewel orchid (Anoectochilus setaceus Blume) is one of the important medicinal plants used for many common diseases treatment such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart, liver and lung diseases, as well as  improving the health in general. Polyploid induction using colchicine and oryzalin has been widely performed in various types of crops and could be considered a valuable tool for plant breeding. In the present study, in vitro young shoots of A. setaceus Blume (1 cm in height) were treated with different concentrations of colchicine (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 µM) and oryzalin (0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 µM) at different durations (0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h). The results showed that shoots with length of treatment from 24 to 48 h and the concentrations from 2 to 10 µM of colchicine and from 40 to 100 µM of oryzalin appeared morphological differences (10.00% - 16.00%) but the tendency to return to normal of these shoots after several times of sub-culture was observed. Stomatal length had a close correlation with the level of ploidy. Diploid plantlets (2n = 2x) had the average stomatal length of 33.50 µm when observed under an optical microscope at 100x magnification and corresponding to the peak at 70 FL in flow cytometric DNA histogram. In all identified polyploid plantlets, the stomatal lengths were greater than 40.12 µm. Moreover, flow cytometric analysis indicated that plantlets with stomatal lengths ranged from 40.12 to 50.00 µm were diploid-tetraploid mosaicisms represented by two separate peaks at 70 FL and 90 FL. Finally, samples treated with 4, 6, and 8 µM colchicine with treatment time of 48 h, and 60 µM oryzalin with treatment time of 24 h that had stomatal lengths ranged from 52.03 to 71.25 µm were determined to be tetraploid (2n = 4x) represented by a peak at 120 FL position.

Recent studies have revealed that cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumor growth, metastasis, therapy resistant and recurrence. Therefore, CSCs are considered as new targets for screening of more effective drugs. The compound malloapelta B, which was isolated from the Bum-bup plant (Mallotus apelta) (Lour.) Muel.-Arg, Euphorbiaceae) in Vietnam, presented very potent and strong anticancer invitro, especially against the activation ofNF-kB (nuclear factor- kappa B). In our research, malloapelta B inhibited the growth of NTERA-2 line, a CSC line, at the value of IC50 = 12.71 ± 0.76 µM. In this study, malloapelta B also had effects on cell cycle of NTERA-2 by significantly reducing the cell number at G0/G1 phase (37.48%), while raising this number of phase G2/M to 31.12% in comparison with those of control (56.81% and 18.6%, respectively). Besides, clonogenic and tumorspheroidal formations are acknowledged as typically renewable characteristics of CSCs. Then, in our studies, malloapelta B significantly prevented NTERA-2 to form clonogens and reduced tumorspheres’ sizes at treatments with 20 and 100 µg/mL. However, malloapelta B did not exhibit any obvious effects on the expression level of CD44+/CD24+, the two typical cell surface markers of CSCs, at 2.5 and 5 µM treatments.
