Authors: Bispo Rosimeire Barboza , Dardengo Juliana de Freitas Encinas , Bispo Rosimara Barboza , Bispo Rosieli Barboza , Rossi Ana Aparecida Bandini
Published: September 2020

O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar a variabilidade genética entre vinte genótipos de butiris (M. flexuosa L.f.) em vegetação natural nos municípios de Alta Floresta e Carlinda, MT, com base nas características morfológicas dos frutos e sementes, com o método de Otimização de Tocher, UPGMA e Análise de Componentes Principais. Foram amostrados 20 genótipos e avaliadas 8 caracteres morfológicos dos frutos e sementes. Os resultados foram obtidos através de medidas de Dissimilaridade, com o uso do programa GENES. O método de Tocher formou dois grupos, assim como o agrupamento UPGMA com corte a 80%. Com os Componentes Principais houve a formação de três grupos. As três metodologias utilizadas revelaram que existe divergência genética entre os vinte genótipos de buritis avaliados. A divergência evidenciada neste trabalho permite inferir que para melhor representar a diversidade encontrada em M. flexuosa deve-se amostrar indivíduos pertencentes aos três grupos formados pela dispersão gráfica dos componentes principais, já que o dendrograma UPGMA também evidencia essa classificação, assim, pode-se indicar essas árvores para futuras pesquisas de melhoramento e conservação da espécie.

GENETIC DIVERGENCE AMONG Mauritia flexuosa L. f. GENOTYPES BASED ON SEED AND FRUIT MORPHOMETRY
 
ABSTRACT:
The objective of the study was to characterize the genetic variability among twenty genotypes of M. flexuosa L. f. in natural vegetation in the municipalities of Alta Floresta and Carlinda, Mato Grosso state, Brazil, based on the morphological characteristics of the fruits and seeds, with the Tocher Optimization method, UPGMA and Principal Component Analysis. Twenty genotypes were sampled and eight morphological characteristics of fruits and seeds were evaluated. The results were based on the Dissimilarities Measures methodology, using the GENES program. The Tocher method formed two groups, as well as the UPGMA cluster with 80% cut. The Principal Components formed three groups. All methods used showed agreement on the formation of groups. The divergence presented in this research allows us to infer that in order to better represent the diversity found in M. flexuosa, individuals belonging to the three groups formed by the graphic dispersion of the principal components must be sampled, since the UPGMA dendrogram also shows this classification, so we indicate these trees for future breeding and conservation researches.

Impact Assessment of Perceived Curriculum Factors on Nigerian Students’ Behaviour in Basic Science and Technology
Authors: Afuwape Moses Olanrewaju , Adeyi Funmilayo Adeola
Published: September 2020

The National Policy on Education (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2014) encourages teachers of basic science and technology to teach students for inculcation of the type of values and attitudes for the survival of the individual and the Nigerian society; the training of the mind in the understanding of the world around; and the acquisition of appropriate skills and the development of mental, physical and social abilities and competencies as equipment for the individual to live in and contribute to the development of the society. This study investigated the perceived influence of curriculum factors on Nigerian students’ behaviour in basic science and technology. The study made use of survey design. Its population comprised of 50 basic science and technology teachers in public and private junior secondary schools in the selected local government area in Ogbomoso educational zone of Oyo state. A self-developed questionnaire on perceived curriculum factors in order to assess students’ behaviour in basic science and technology was applied for data collection.

The instrument validated by Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient method was employed to measure the reliability of the instrument. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. The results were analyzed using frequency count, mean and simple percentage, while T-test statistics was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05level of significance. The findings of the study revealed no significant difference in basic science and technology constraints in teaching and learning at both public and private schools in Oyo state of Nigeria. The study, however, concluded that basic science and technology curriculum should be moderately accessible and necessary instructional facilities should be provided to qualified teachers to foster effective teaching and learning.

Pesantren dan Kebangsaan
Authors: Effendy Bisri
Published: September 2020

Sulit memang membahas soal pesantren dikaitkan dengan diskursus kebangsaan di negeri ini, karena hampir semua bahasan, analisis, dan laporan mengenai Kongres pertama Boedi Oetomo 1908 dan Kongres Pemoeda ke-2 tahun 1928, dua peristiwa penting sebagai tonggak gerakan kebangsaan, tidak menyebut secara eksplisit pesantren di dalamnya. Jika pada Kongres Pemoeda ke-2, Jong Java, Jong Sumatranen Bond, Jong Islamieten Bond, Sekar Roekoen, Jong Batak, Jong Theosofen Bond, Ambonsche Strudeerenden, Minahasa Strudeerenden, Studieclub Indonesia, Boedi Oetomo, dan Muhammadiyah disebut sebagai peserta resmi, tetapi pesantren, dan NU sebagai lembaga/organisasi resmi sama sekali tidak disebut dan tidak terdaftar, kesertaan pemuda Wahab Hasbullah, Hasyim Asy‘ari, dan Wahid Hasyim dalam perhelatan tersebut diakui sebagai perorangan. Entah karena perintah Belanda atau panitia Kongres yang abai terhadap pesantren, kenyataan itu mengundang pertanyaan besar: mengapa? Tulisan ini tak hendak bermaksud menjawab pertanyaan itu, juga tak ingin memberikan sanggahan terhadap ―kekhilafan‖ tersebut dengan seluruh argumen historisnya. Paparan yang tidak terlalu panjang ini hanya akan menganalisis fakta-fakta yang berserak dan terdokumentasi tertulis dari pilihan pesantren menjadi subkultur, kiprahnya dalam community development, hingga pembentukan komite hijaz dan deklarasi Islam nusantara. Dengan analisis itu diharapkan menjadi lebih terang peran pesantren yang sebenarnya jauh lebih tua dari kelahiran Boedi Oetomo maupun Sumpah Pemoeda dalam gerak kebangsaan di negeri ini.

Management Accounting
Authors: Glomazic Jadranka
Published: September 2020

Healthcare institutions are business systems that provide different medical products and services to improve the health and quality of life of users of products and services. First of all, this is reflected in the differing complexities of the business, but also of the products and services they offer, as well as the different costs they cause. Thus, some products or services cause high indirect costs, while others require higher direct costs. For health care managers to make the right business decisions, they must continually have timely, quality and truthful information at their disposal. This information is provided by the management accounting of the institutions. This paper aims to present management accounting activities that enable the acquisition of information necessary for decision making.
IT-Assisted Process Management in Healthcare
Authors: Ammenwerth Elske , Hackl Werner O.
Published: September 2020

Clinical processes need to be well understood before a new health IT tool can be introduced. Observations, interviews, surveys, or documentation analysis are carried out to systematically collect information to better understand a clinical process. To aggregate and visualize the collected information about a clinical process, use case diagrams can build a basis. Formal process models such as process chain diagrams or BPMN diagrams are well suited to model the process in detail. The objective of this chapter is to discuss these methods for analyzing and modeling clinical processes, as this is an important precondition for systematic process management in health care.

2013 Cotton Defoliation and Harvest Aid Guide
Authors: Leon Ramon , Wright David L. , Brecke Barry J.
Published: September 2020

In Florida, cotton requires about 155 days of growth from planting to harvest. Throughout the growing season, growers must make important management decisions about defoliation, boll opening, and regrowth suppression. These factors can affect the quality and storage time if the crop is put into modules. The greatest losses in quality are caused by stain from poorly defoliated plants or regrowth and moisture from green tissue. This 8-page fact sheet was written by R.G. Leon, D. L. Wright and B. J.

Understanding the Effects of Forage Composition and Structure in Ruminant Nutrition
Authors: Waters Kalyn M. , DiLorenzo Nicolas , Lamb Graham Cliff
Published: September 2020

Approximately 68% of the 16 million square miles of agricultural land worldwide is used for permanent pastures for livestock production. Fortunately, ruminants can convert plant matter that is inedible or of low nutritional value for monogastrics (i.e., swine or poultry) into calorically dense products of high nutritional value. However, the process of converting poor quality plant matter into useful nutrients for ruminants is complex. This 3-page fact sheet provides an overview and understanding of how forage composition and structure affect the nutritive value and nutrient availability to ruminants. Written by Kalyn M. Waters, Nicolas DiLorenzo, and G. Cliff Lamb, and published by the UF Department of Animal Sciences, March 2013.

Urban Turf Fertilizer Rule for Home Lawn Fertilization
Authors: Trenholm Laurie E.
Published: September 2020

While a healthy lawn typically takes up and uses applied fertilizer for growth and protein production, nutrients may leach or run off into water bodies or groundwater when fertilizer is overapplied or applied to an unhealthy lawn. In an attempt to reduce this nonpoint source pollution, FDACS developed a rule to regulate the amount of N and P applied to lawns as fertilizer. The Urban Turf Fertilizer Rule regulates what can be sold and marketed as an urban turf fertilizer and requires specific wording on the fertilizer bag. This rule was enacted in response to concerns over potential pollution of water resources resulting from the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in these fertilizers.

Landscape Design with Edibles
Authors: Hansen Gail
Published: September 2020

Although design basics for edible ornamental landscapes are essentially the same as strictly ornamental landscapes, a few details ensure the success of the edible landscape. Gardens with plants that change considerably with the seasons rely more on an organized yet interesting layout, appealing support structures, functional pathways, and colorful containers and planters to provide interest and beauty when the plants are not taking center stage. There are twelve important ideas to consider when creating a successful edible ornamental garden.

Classical Biological Control of Air Potato in Florida
Authors: Center Ted D. , Overholt William A.
Published: September 2020

Air potato was introduced to Florida in 1905. By the 1980s, its vines were growing in thickets, waste areas, and hedges or fencerows in many parts of south and central Florida. By 1999, it was recognized as transforming plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structure and disrupting ecological functions. The air potato leaf beetle is a rather large, orange-red Asian leaf beetle. It feeds and develops only on air potato. The USDA-ARS Invasive Plant laboratory in Fort Lauderdale acquired this beetle from China and has begun an ambitious release program aimed at controlling air potato.

Pest Management Perceptions and Practices for Equine Farms in North and Central Florida
Authors: Machtinger Erika T. , Leppla Norman C. , Saunders Cindy
Published: September 2020

Equine facilities have unique pest management problems due to facility structure and horse husbandry practices. In Florida, homes on small equine farms are generally located in close proximity to pastures, stalls or run-in sheds, manure piles, and other fly breeding habitats. So, homeowners have a high risk of exposure to pathogens that can be transmitted by filth flies to humans. Integrated pest management for equine farms requires accurate diagnosis of pest problems and the coordinated use of science-based management practices, but a recent survey shows that many equine property owners don’t know enough about the identification, biology, and presence of filth fly pests on their properties to develop successful IPM programs. This 7-page fact sheet was written by Erika T. Machtinger, Norman C. Leppla, and Cindy Saunders, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, March 2013.
