Response of improved common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties to intermittent drought
Authors: Fernández Rivera Marcial
Published: May 2024

Objective: To evaluate the response of 16 improved bean varieties to intermittent drought. Design/Methodology/Approach: A randomized complete block design was used, with four replications each under irrigated and drought conditions. The drought treatment consisted of suspending irrigation for 15 days in the flowering stage. The irrigation treatment consisted of maintaining available moisture above 60% throughout the cycle. The yield, its components, and days to physiological maturity were recorded. The drought tolerance of each variety was estimated using the drought susceptibility index, geometric mean, and productive mean.
Results: Drought reduced yield by 36%, the number of pods per plant by 28.5%, and days to physiological maturity by 0.7%. In contrast, the weight of 100 seeds increased by 4.9% and the number of seeds per pod was not affected. The Flor de Mayo Eugenia and Negro 8025 varieties were more tolerant to drought (p ≤ 0.05) than the rest of the varieties analyzed. These varieties recorded yields of 2,768 and 2,854 kg ha-1 (irrigation) and 1,905 and 1,843 kg ha-1 (drought), respectively.
Study Limitations/Implications: The drought intensity applied was relatively low, which could reduce the visibility of the differences between treatments.
Findings/conclusions: The secondary attribute with more sensitivity to intermittent drought was the number of pods per plant. The varieties with highest tolerance to droughts were Flor de Mayo Eugenia and Negro 8025.

Published: May 2024

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the response of 10 chickpea genotypes from INIFAP to the damage caused by the fungal complex.
Design/methodology/approach: Seedlings (15-day-old) of 10 genotypes (Blanco Sinaloa '92, Blanoro, Combo 743, CUGA2054, HOGA067, CUGA3168, CUGA08-1210, CUGA09-3160, R-12-1509 and R-12-1507) were inoculated by root immersion in a suspension of mycelial fragments of two isolates (high and low virulence) of each fungi: Fusarium languescens, M. phaseolina, S. rolfsii and S. sclerotiorum. Disease severity evaluation was performed 30 days after inoculation. The entire experiment was performed twice.
Results: The genotypes showed greater susceptibility to S. sclerotiorum and S. rolfsii compared to F. languescens and M. phaseolina. The highly virulent isolates caused a significant difference in the severity of the disease in the genotypes evaluated.
Findings/conclusions: All chickpea genotypes showed susceptibility to the fungal complex that causes wilt.
Assessment of tepojal as a support medium in in vitro germination of Barkeria whartoniana (Orchidaceae) and subcultures of B. uniflora and B. scandens
Authors: Gómez-Almazán Paola E. , García-Meza Diego , Pérez-García Eduardo A.
Published: May 2024

Objective: We evaluated the use of tepojal as a substitute for bacteriological agar for in vitro culture of three species of Mexican orchids of the genus Barkeria. We had three objectives: (1) evaluate the use of tepojal for the in vitro germination of B. whartoniana seeds; (2) compare the growth and survival of B. uniflora and B. scandens plants in in vitro culture on bacteriological agar and tepojal, and (3) compare the early ex situ survival of the B. uniflora and B. scandens previously cultivated in vitro on bacteriological agar and tepojal.
Design/Methodology/Approach: For the growth experiment, 1,050 seedlings of Barkeria scandens and B. uniflora were used. Two types of culture medium were prepared: (1) Liquid with tepojal and 40 % MS medium with dextrose, yeast, coconut water, activated carbon and refined sugar, and (2) solid at 40 %, with the same elements as the liquid one, but with 6 g of bacteriological agar. For the germination experiment of Barkeria whartoniana in tepojal we use seeds from a mature (open) capsule. After disinfection, seeds were sown in tepojal with liquid medium and in a solid (agar) culture using a syringe technique. All the seeds were sown in 100 % p668 MS medium with 100 mL/L of coconut water and 15 g/L of refined sugar and using in both the MS medium.
Results: Barkeria uniflora seedlings had a greater growth than in B. scandens regardless of the type of treatment. When comparing within each species, we found that the two treatments (tepojal vs agar) did not produce differences in the growth of the shoot of both species. Roots growth was influenced by both the effect of the species and the treatment, as the longest roots were found in tepojal medium. Seed germination observed in the liquid medium with tepojal was not apparently different from that in agar. In both cases the entire surface of the jar was covered with green protocorms.
Findings/Conclusions: Tepojal did function well as a substrate to germinate Barkeria whartoniana, but tests must continue to be carried out to evaluate its effectiveness. As no differences were found for aerial growth between agar and tepojal in Barkeria scandens and Barkeria uniflora, we consider this substrate as a good substitute for agar because it can produce more biomass per gram of culture medium used; therefore, if we consider the costs the use of tepojal is much cheaper and much easier to get.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To carry out an in vitro, in situ, and in vivo evaluation of soybean paste (T1) and sesame paste (T2) supplements for calves under grazing conditions.
Methodology: Partial (24, 48, and 72 h) and accumulated biogas and methane production, as well as dry matter degradation (DMD), were measured in the in vitro analysis. The digestibility kinetics parameters (a, b, a+b, c, k, ED) were estimated in the in situ test. Feed supplement consumption (SC), daily weight gain (DWG), bacterial and protozoan populations, acetate, propionate, and butyrate were evaluated in the in vivo test. A completely randomized experimental design was used.
Results: T1 produced a higher amount of partial and accumulated biogas and methane at 24 h, as well as the highest values in the b, a+b, k, and ED (p ≤ 0.05) parameters. Meanwhile the rest of the in vitro, in situ, and in vivo variables did not record any differences between treatments (p > 0.05).
Study Limitations/Implications: The production of sesame paste is seasonal; consequently, its harvest limits its year-round availability.
Conclusions: Based on the in vitro, in situ, and in vivo evaluations, sesame paste is a feasible option to replace soybean paste as a source of protein, in the supplementation of calves in the tropics.

Published: May 2024

Currently, plastic waste that decomposes for a long time can damage the environment and natural ecosystems. therefore, an innovation was made to create an environmentally friendly plastic that decomposes faster in nature. The purpose of this research is to determine the degradation ability of environmentally friendly conventional biodegradable plastics. This research uses environmentally friendly conventional plastic materials. This plastic is degraded in 3 (three) ways, namely photodegradation (irradiation with UV C light), irradiation with sunlight, and biodegradation. Each degradation process lasts for 30 days. The research results showed that there was a decrease in the elongation at break value of plastic that had been degraded. This is caused by the breaking of bonds in the polymer chain. Apart from that, the plastic also experiences damage to its surface. This damage is characterized by cracks, the appearance of stains, and the appearance of mold or microorganisms on the plastic surface.

Análise Psicanalítica do Discurso Lacaniana
Authors: Campos Rafaella Cristina , Lopes Marcelo Antonio
Published: May 2024

Objetiva-se, através de um corpus teórico, propor a análise psicanalítica de discurso como recurso qualitativo de investigação dentro das ciências sociais aplicadas. Faz-se necessário o resgate de Hegel, Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, Freud, Politzer, Popper, Althusser, Foucault e Pêcheux para pensar os conceitos que Lacan considera para uma análise discursiva. A análise psicanalítica de discurso lacaniana é então uma proposta de conduta, e não meramente recurso teórico-metodológico. Os esforços na construção de um trabalho com esta abordagem qualitativa são: o vasto repertório lacaniano, as pontes construídas ou em construção das interfaces entre epistemologia e fenômeno na área das ciências sociais aplicadas (desafio da interdisciplinaridade) e a maturidade da psicanálise dentro da administração e dos pesquisadores diante da psicanálise.
study of occupations
Authors: Zuin Débora Carneiro
Published: May 2024

This article revisits studies of occupations and discuss major theoretical debates within and across different disciplines that are concerned with occupations. Recognising this centrality of work to people’s lives, it examines how occupations are understood and how it is an important subject to study and still a challenging subject to be analysed. It argues that the potential contribution of studies of work and occupations can be well developed when analysed through the lens of Labour Process Analysis (LPA), as it is the tradition that attempts to present a picture of what people do and what is in the occupation, the nature of work. The main aim of this article is to review the existing literature on occupations and to acknowledge major contributions to the understanding of occupations. It will conclude by presenting a discussion on those key theoretical issues.

Home range, activity pattern and breeding aspects of the pariah dog (Canis lupus familiaris Linnaeus, 1786) were studied at the Chittagong University Campus in Chittagong of Bangladesh during September 2012 to January 2013. The average home range encircled during daytime by a pack was 10,120 m2. The activity pattern of two dog packs was monitored through scan sampling methods at 15 minutes intervals. The dogs spent their diurnal time in resting (24.5%), sitting and basking (17.1%), standing (2.4%), moving and walking (16.2%), running (17.5%), sleeping (5.3%), feeding, foraging and drinking (6.3%), social behavior (2.9%) and territorial behavior (7.8%). Parturition occurred from September to January and the peak period was in November. The average litter size was 4.7 (range 1-12, n=10). and the overall survival rate of puppies was 2.6 per litter (i.e., 55.32%) up to January.

Latex Yield and Tree Growth in Kanchannagar Rubber Estate of Bangladesh - a Preliminary Study
Authors: Rahman M M , Hossain A T M Emdad , Alam M Z , Mahmud S
Published: May 2024

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is a perennial, hardy and moderately quick-growing tree of the tropical regions (Khisa 1991). An initiative of its cultivation was taken in Bangladesh during 1960-61 considering the multiple uses of the latex and its products including the utility of timber (Chowdhury 1974). In Bangladesh, experts recommended its cultivation in the hilly land, terrace mostly evaluating the land suitability class and within the limitation of climatic factors (Hasan 1983). Bangladesh   Forest Industry Development Cooperation (BFIOC) sent a proposal to Bangladesh Forest Research Institute (BFRl), Chittagong to find out the causes of latex yield variation in the rubber station of Rangamatia and Doluchari of Kanchannagar Rubber Estate of Fatickchhari upazila of Chittagong District. Thus, a preliminary study was conducted on these rubber gardens during 2007-08. The clones in those estates are RRlM-600; PBIG/GG, GT-1 and PB-235, which were planted during different planting years (BFIDC 1993). Management of the Doluchari garden was comparatively better than Rangamatia. Total number of trees in Doluchari and Rangamatia is 29850 and .36149 respectively. Two (2004-06) years latex yield records showed that average productions were 3.16 kg/tre/yr for Doluchari and 1.86 kg/tree/yr in Rangamatia. The latex yield variation may be due to different factors viz: site quality, management efficiency, age group of clones, etc. (Anon,1989).

This study was an attempt to investigate the self-esteem and job satisfaction of teachers as a function of types of teacher and institutions. To collect data, participants were selected purposively, Total 120 respondents were selected. Among them 60 were college teachers (30 were from government and 30 from non-government college). In addition, 60 were school teachers (30 were from government and 30 from non-government schools) were selected. The Bangla version of "Job Satisfaction Scale" (Rahman, 2003) and "Self-esteem Scale" (Ilyas 2003) were used to measure job satisfaction -and self-esteem of the teachers. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings of the presentstudy showed that Government teachers are found having significantly more self-esteemed (F= 5:7.1, df = 1, p < 0.02) than non-government teachers. But types of teacher were no significant effect on self-esteem. On the other hand, institutions were found having no significant effects on the job satisfaction at the teachers. However, college teachers were found having significantly more job satisfaction {F= 9.00 df = 1, p <0.00) than school teachers. Results also showed positive correlation (r = 0.17, p < 0.01) between job satisfaction and self-esteem of the teachers.

Implementing the Radiology Rotation-Model-22 in Clerkships: The RRM-Pocket Card for Medical Students – Part 2
Authors: Petsch Ilona , Buerke Boris
Published: May 2024

Practical training for medical students in radiology clerkships takes place in busy clinical routine. We introduced the Radiology Rotation-Model-22 (RRM) as the department-related RRM-pocket card for student rotation (SR) settings in part one of this study. RRM was developed as a documentation tool and pocket card with department sections for radiology (10) and imaging specialties (1) for medical students in clerkships. With the RRM-tool, and while exploring departments for practical experience, students can log data details on rotations and tasks by the method of participant observation (PO). By PO, students can track SR and training progress. In part two, we present attempts on implementing the RRM-tool as a rotation concept for students to gain efficient training experience. The RRM-pocket card provides students, radiologists, and radiographers with an overview of SR and tasks. RRM can be implemented to optimise clerkships’ structure, and to generate self-action for students, while actively optimising SR.
TBE In Estonia

In Norway, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been a mandatory notifiable disease since 1975 (Norwegian Surveillance system for communicable diseases, MSIS).1 According to ECDCs classification, coastal areas in southern Norway (counties of Agder, Vestfold and Telemark) are endemic for TBE. Further, the counties of Østfold, Akershus and Buskerud, and western and northern Norway to Brønnøy municipality are imperiled.2-9
TBE In Poland
Authors: Pancer Katarzyna
Published: May 2024

The history of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Poland started in 1948, when clinical symptoms of TBE were described by Demiaszkiewicz.7 Disease reporting has been mandatory since 1970. In the years between 1970-1992, a total of 576 TBE cases were reported; the annual number varied from 4 (1991) to 60 (1970), and the incidence in that period ranged from 0.01/100,000 population to 0.2/100,000 inhabitants, respectively. In 1993, however, the number of reported TBE cases increased rapidly, probably because of the first introduction of commercial tests serologically to confirm the diagnosis of TBE by ELISA, which rapidly replaced the older HI assay (Fig.1).2,3,15 As in other European countries, TBE cases occur mainly in men aged 30-60 y. (Fig.2).

Bornholm has about 45,000 inhabitants, but about 500,000 tourists visiting every year.
Exploring metabolic dysregulation and therapeutic targets in sickle cell disease and rare hereditary red blood cell disorders
Authors:   , van Dijk Myrthe Jasmijn
Published: May 2024

Hereditary red blood cell (RBC) disorders are genetically and phenotypically heterogenous disorders that may all impact RBC metabolism to a variable extent. Hereditary hemolytic anemias including sickle cell disease (SCD) represent a substantial part of all anemias. In general, the burden of disease and disability caused by anemias is underestimated. Although the prevalence of SCD is high in some low- and middle-income regions, it is considered a rare disease in the Netherlands and other high-income regions. Since in high-income regions most research is conducted on more prevalent diseases, patients with SCD still face significant challenges in managing their symptoms. Nowadays, great advances have been made and more attention is paid to research that focuses on SCD. This has provided new insights on how dysregulated RBC metabolism may be involved and targeted in SCD and other, rare hereditary RBC disorders.

The aims of this thesis were to improve the knowledge about potential emerging therapies that target RBC metabolism in SCD and to study new pathologic variants of other, rare hereditary RBC disorders associated with dysregulated RBC metabolism. This thesis in particular describes studies on two novel, RBC function-improving therapies in development for SCD. SCD thus serves as a use case for a better understanding of dysregulated RBC metabolism in two other, rare hereditary RBC disorders that were identified, studied and described in this thesis.

The efficacy of therapies that modulate RBC metabolism in SCD including the oral pyruvate kinase (PK) activator mitapivat and a composition of endogenous metabolic modulators is elaborated in Part I of this thesis. Overall, we conclude that targeting RBC metabolism in SCD is promising as a novel therapeutic approach.
In Part II of this thesis, new interesting insights into dysregulated RBC metabolism of novel variants associated with extremely rare hereditary RBC disorders are given. Cases of congenital erythrocytosis associated with heterozygosity for bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) variants and hereditary hemolytic anemia in a patient with hemizygosity for a novel variant in Adenosine Triphosphatase Phospholipid Transporting 11C (ATP11C) are described. More awareness is created on identifying novel variants in genes involved in RBC metabolism. Hopefully, these cases stimulate future research to gather further functional evidence to relate genotypes to phenotypes in the heterogenous group of hereditary RBC disorders.

When it comes to the learning process, it is not enough for the instructor to just transfer the material, or what is more frequently referred to as the transfer of knowledge. Because there are various components of learning that need to be assessed by teachers on their pupils, including cognitive aspects, emotional aspects, and psychomotor aspects. This is because learning encompasses all of these characteristics. Therefore, in order to realize learning goals with the best possible results, it is necessary for teachers to have an understanding of the peculiarities of each student. We are going to discover that individual variation is typically the result of the simultaneous interplay between hereditary factors and environmental impacts, which finally results in the production of a one-of-a-kind human person. Therefore, in order to be an effective educator, one must have the ability to comprehend the qualities and features of each unique pupil. In a certain manner or approach, and then directly implement it in the learning process, so that they are aware of the differences between their pupils and how to overcome them in ways that are simple for students to grasp or understand.

Children's spiritual growth is significant for parents to pay attention to, and it is a task given by God to parents to become the main teacher for children's spiritual growth. This article explains the cultivation of Christian values based on Deuteronomy 6:7 for children's spiritual growth. Deuteronomy 6:7 states that God commands that parents carry this responsibility wholeheartedly to teach the diligent cultivation of Christian values, namely to give them in upbringing to children repeatedly. The thing instilled in the child is the most important and foremost to love God with all his heart, as stated in the previous verse (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). The cultivation of values to live produces the fruit of the spirit in their lives, and it is certainly the role of the work of the Holy Spirit that guides their lives. Every instillation of value given by parents to children that is carried out repeatedly will the child remember and apply it in their lives. Through this, they will also experience spiritual growth that loves God and makes God's words the foundation and principle of their lives. AbstrakPetumbuhan rohani anak sangat penting untuk diperhatikan orang tua dan adalah sebuag tugas yang diberikan oleh Tuhan kepada orang tua untuk menjadi guru utama bagi pertumbuhan kerohanian anak.

Kecerdasan Emosional Menurut Matius 5:1-48 dan Implikasinya dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen Untuk Remaja di Era Digital
Authors: Marpaung Sri Rizki
Published: May 2024

Masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah kemampuan peserta didik untuk berkomunikasi secara efektif dan membangun hubungan sosial dengan orang lain sangat minim. Hal ini merupakan esensi dari kecerdasan emosional. Dengan demikian, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi kecerdasan emosional menurut Matius 5. Bagian ini diimplikasinya ke dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen di era digital, karena kecerdasaan emosional merupakan salah satu esensi dari ajaran Tuhan Yesus dalam Matius 5 dan bagian ini masih jarang yang membahasnya secara khusus. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan mengunakan eksegese yaitu dengan menafsirkan ajaran Tuhan Yesus dalam Matius 5 secara khusus mengenai kecerdasan emosional dalam Matius 5. Hasilnya adalah kecerdasan emosional merupakan kemampuan seseorang untuk mengelola emosinya, sehingga ini merupakan dasar untuk berelasi dengan orang lain. Hal ini harus berakar pada Allah itu sendiri, yaitu melalui perjumpaan dengan Tuhan Yesus. Maka, Pendidikan Agama Kristen berfungsi sebagai strategi mengajarkan kecerdasan emosional, bahkan menjadi wadah atau tempat untuk melatih dan membimbing peserta didik.

The Secret Afterlives of Dido Elizabeth Belle
Authors: Plasa Carl
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines three texts (two short stories and one short poem) all written in response to David Martin’s Portrait of Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Murray (c. 1779), a painting highly unusual for its time in its sisterly juxtaposition of a young mixed-race woman and her white counterpart. The first of the stories is ‘Dido Elizabeth Belle—A Narrative of Her Life (Extant)’ (1995) by Leonora Brito, while the second is Emma Donoghue’s ‘Dido’ (2002). The poetic response that rounds out the chapter in a brief coda is Honorée Fanonne Jeffers’s ‘Portrait of Dido Elizabeth Belle Lindsay, Free Mulatto, and her White Cousin, the Lady Elizabeth Murray, Great-Nieces of William Murray, First Earl of Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of the King’s Bench’ (2020). Despite their shared visual source, there are marked differences between these three texts, with Jeffers broadly maintaining a nuanced focus on the painting itself and its interracial dynamics, while Brito and Donoghue move quite extravagantly beyond the image that quickens their narratives, conjuring lives and possibilities for Dido radically removed from the scene in which she originally appears.
‘How Mute their Tongues’: Irish Gothic Poetry in the Nineteenth Century
Authors: Wright Julia M.
Published: May 2024

This chapter begins by considering the lack of a canon of Irish Gothic verse as an effect of two scholarly occlusions—a focus on the nation in nineteenth-century Irish poetry, and an emphasis on prose fiction in discussions of nineteenth-century Gothic literature. Both reinforce the elite status of poetry, as in the British canon where Gothic poetry is typically only allowed to slide in on the coat-tails of canonical poets. This chapter proposes a body of Irish Gothic poetry, that, like the English Gothic, begins with Thomas Gray’s “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” (1751), but launches a very different graveyard tradition that draws on concerns about national sovereignty and the silencing of poets. That tradition begins with iterations of Gray, but then mixes with Irish, Germanic, and Nordic folklore to develop a more broadly northern European Gothic while remaining centered on burial and the graveyard, on through into prison poetry in the second half of the century. This Irish Gothic verse tradition is dominated less by supernatural tropes than by dehumanising gestures. The chapter refers to a wide range of verse, but focuses on poetry by Thomas Dermody, James Orr, William Drennan, Thomas Moore, James Clarence Mangan, Jane Wilde, Dora Sigerson, and Oscar Wilde.
Gothic Fiction and Irish Children’s Literature
Authors: Markey Anne
Published: May 2024

A survey of Irish children’s fiction, loosely defined as stories read by young people that were written by authors who were born or spent some time in Ireland, published from the early nineteenth to the early twenty-first century reveals no sign of a specifically Irish gothic tradition. Nevertheless, Irish children’s fiction of that period did not completely eschew the gothic. This chapter focuses on three texts for young readers that contain elements characteristic of gothic fiction: Lady Mount Cashell’s Stories of Old Daniel (1808); Peadar Ua Laoghaire’s Séadna (1904) and Claire Hennessy’s Nothing Tastes as Good (2016). The analysis of how the gothic elements in these very different texts from three different centuries interact with the acculturation impulse common to children’s fiction suggests that didacticism is the defining feature of children’s literature. However, within these texts, didactic acculturation is tempered by an anarchic embrace of the gothic in both English and Irish that transcends the type of social and political divisions that have been theorised as intrinsic to the emergence of Irish gothic fiction.
Irish Women Writers and the Supernatural
Authors: Edmundson Melissa
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on Irish women writers and their contributions to supernatural fiction from c.1850-1950. The chapter examines how women incorporated social themes in their short fiction, an emphasis that often differentiates these narratives from ones written by men through the utilization of distinct Irish settings, Irish historical moments, and the foregrounding of the lives of Irish women. These writers responded to rapid social and political changes by creating literary ghosts that reflected contemporary concerns about marriage, domestic abuse, women and children, haunted houses, money and property, colonialism, poverty, and war. The chapter discusses how these themes evolved from the Victorian period into the twentieth century and how Irish women writers described the changing role of women through the lens of the supernatural. The authors surveyed cover a broad range of Gothic writing, including folk horror, the macabre, comic Gothic, and more traditional ghost stories. Authors discussed include Elizabeth Bowen, Bithia Mary Croker, Clotilde Graves, Dorothy Macardle, L. T. Meade, Rosa Mulholland, Charlotte Riddell, Dora Sigerson Shorter, and Katharine Tynan.
