El tizón foliar causado por Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorfo Zymoseptoria tritici o Septoria tritici), es una enfermedad presente en áreas lluviosas de siembras de temporal de trigo en los Valles Altos del Centro de México. El efecto sobre el rendimiento de grano que causa la enfermedad es variable, dependiendo de la localidad y el nivel de resistencia de las variedades. Los objetivos de la investigación fueron determinar el porcentaje de pérdidas que causa el tizón foliar y la respuesta de variedades comerciales sembradas en ambientes de temporal. Se evaluaron cinco variedades de trigo harinero en dos tratamientos, con control y sin control de la enfermedad, en las localidades de Juchitepec, Estado de México y Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala, durante los ciclos verano 2007 y 2008. El diseño experimental fue bloques completos al azar con cuatro repeticiones con arreglo de tratamientos de parcelas divididas. La disminución en el rendimiento que causo el tizón foliar fue del 41 y 40% en Salamanca S75 y Gálvez M87 respectivamente, 33% para Verano S91, Triunfo F2004 24% y 9% de pérdidas en Rebeca F2000. Con base al nivel de resistencia, se determinaron tres grupos de variedades: Rebeca F2000 resistente, Triunfo F2004 moderadamente resistente, Gálvez M87, Salamanca S75 y Verano S91 susceptibles. El mejor sitio de prueba fue Juchitepec, Estado de México. Los resultados indican que se debe de incorporar mayor resistencia a Zymoseptoria en futuras variedades incluyendo a Rebeca F2000 como fuente de resistencia, lo que permitirá disminuir pérdidas en rendimiento en ambientes donde la enfermedad es importante.

Not Where You Start, but How Much You Grow: An Addendum to the Coleman Report
Authors: Atteberry Allison C. , McEachin Andrew J.
Published: July 2020

The Equality of Educational Opportunity Study (1966)—the Coleman Report—lodged a key takeaway in the minds of educators, researchers, and parents: Schools do not strongly shape students’ achievement outcomes. This finding has been influential to the field; however, Coleman himself suggested that—had longitudinal data been available to him—decomposing the variance in students’ growth rates rather than their levels of achievement would have provided a clearer insight into school effects. Inspired by an intriguing finding from an earlier study conducted in 1988 by Bryk and Raudenbush, we take up Coleman’s suggestion using data provided by NWEA, which has administered over 200 million vertically scaled assessments across all 50 states since 2008. We replicated Bryk and Raudenbush’s surprising finding that most of the variation in student learning rates lies between rather than within schools. For students moving from Grades 1 through 5, we found 75% (math) to 80% (English language arts) of the variance in achievement rates is at the school level. We find similar results in preliminary analyses of data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Class 1998-99 (ECLS-K:99). These results are intriguing because they call into question one of the dominant narratives about the extent to which schools shape students’ achievement; however, more research is needed. Our goal is to invite other scholars to conduct similar analyses in other data contexts. We delineate four key dimensions along which results need to be further probed, first and foremost with an eye toward the role of test score scaling practices, which may be of central importance.

Published: July 2020

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We sought to identify genes associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) by comparing global gene expression profiles of normal ovary with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with HGSC using published microarray data (2, 3). We previously reported differential expression of the PAR-bZIP transcription factor HLF in HGSC (4). Here, we report significant differential expression of a second PAR-bZIP transcription factor, thyrotroph embryonic factor (TEF) (5) in high-grade serous ovarian tumors.

A simple extension to indefinite terms of the Classical Syllogistics and of the Rules of Valid Syllogism
Authors: Radulescu Dan Constantin
Published: July 2020

One uses a minimal extension to indefinite terms of the Classical Syllogisticsand of the Rules of Valid Syllogism. The valid syllogisms (VS) are replacedby valid categorical arguments (VCAs), made of conclusive pairs of categoricalpremises (PCPs) and their logical consequences (LCs), which can containindefinite (both positive and negative) terms. The Classical Syllogistics isreplaced by explicit formulas reproducing all 32 VCAs and their LCs. One noticesthat all the VCAs (and VS) follow one of the Barbara, Darapti or Darii“patterns of inclusion and intersection”, namely either S⊆M⊆P, or, M⊆S,M⊆P, or M⋂S≠Ø, M⊆P. One shows that by using slight generalizations of therules of valid syllogism (RofVS) one can transform the RofVS into a “theory”equivalent to Classical Syllogistics. By using appropriate rules of valid categoricalargument (RofVCA), (which disregard the RofVS asserting that “two negativepremises are not allowed” and “the middle term has to be distributed in atleast one premise”), one can make the RofVCA into a “theory” "almost equivalent"with the formulas which describe all the VCAs. One also notices that eachprecise LC of the Barbara, Darapti and Darii patterns pinpoints a unique partitioningsubset of the universe of discourse, U: S=S⋂M⋂P and P'=S'⋂ M'⋂P' for Barbara’s pattern - which entails two LCs; M=M⋂S⋂P forDarapti’s pattern; S⋂M⋂P≠Ø for Darii’s pattern. The middle term eliminationfrom the LC, initiated by Aristotle, simplifies but weakens the LC.
AMPed-up adolescents: the role of age in the abuse of amphetamines and its consequences on cognition and prefrontal cortex development
Authors: Westbrook Sara Ruth , Carrica Lauren , Banks Asia , Gulley Joshua Michael
Published: July 2020

Adolescent use of amphetamine and its closely related, methylated version methamphetamine, is alarmingly high in those who use drugs for nonmedical purposes. This raises serious concerns about the potential for this drug use to have a long-lasting, detrimental impact on the normal development of the brain and behavior that is ongoing during adolescence. In this review, we explore recent findings from both human and laboratory animal studies that investigate the consequences of amphetamine and methamphetamine exposure during this stage of life. We highlight studies that assess sex differences in adolescence, as well as those that are designed specifically to address the potential unique effects of adolescent exposure by including groups at other life stages (typically young adulthood). We consider epidemiological studies on age and sex as vulnerability factors for developing problems with the use of amphetamines, as well as human and animal laboratory studies that tap into age differences in use, its short-term effects on behavior, and the long-lasting consequences of this exposure on cognition. We also focus on studies of drug effects in the prefrontal cortex, which is known to be critically important for cognition and is among the later maturing brain regions. Finally, we discuss important issues that should be addressed in future studies so that the field can further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying adolescent use of amphetamines and its outcomes on the developing brain and behavior.
Wetzel, Frick, & Brown (2020)_Does multidimensional forced-choice prevent faking?
Authors: Wetzel Eunike , Frick Susanne , Brown Anna
Published: July 2020

A common concern with self-reports of personality traits in selection contexts is faking. The multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) format has been proposed as an alternative to rating scales (RS) that could prevent faking. The goal of this study was to compare the susceptibility of the MFC format and RS format to faking in a simulated high-stakes setting when using normative scoring for both formats. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups (total N = 1,867) and filled out the Big Five Triplets once under an honest instruction and once under a fake-good instruction. Latent mean differences between the honest and fake-good administrations indicated that the Big Five domains were faked in the expected direction. Faking effects for all traits were larger for RS compared to MFC. Faking effects were also larger for the MFC version with mixed triplets compared to the MFC version with triplets that were fully matched regarding their social desirability. The MFC format does not prevent faking completely, but it reduces faking substantially. Faking can be further reduced in the MFC format by matching the items presented in a block regarding their social desirability.
Exposure to Descriptions of Traumatic Events Narrows One’s Concept of Trauma
Authors: Jones Payton J. , Levari David , Bellet Benjamin W. , McNally Richard J.
Published: July 2020

The word 'trauma' was originally used by psychiatrists to describe horrific events such as rape and torture that characteristically provoke extreme emotional distress. Both colloquially and clinically, the concept of psychological trauma has broadened considerably. Although many clinical scientists have expressed concern about the broadening of the concept of trauma, it remains unclear how and why this concept expansion occurs. We present two experiments in which US adults (N = 276, 267) sequentially classified descriptions of events (e.g., "broke a leg in a bicycle accident") as either 'trauma' or 'not trauma'. In the first experiment, we manipulated the frequency of serious and nonserious events. In the second experiment, we manipulated the total range of events (i.e., participants viewed only nonserious or only serious events). Together, the experiments suggest that participants' frame of reference for events (i.e., the perceived range of event seriousness) plays a relatively more important role.
Livelihood Patterns of the Tibetan Refugees in Kathmandu

Published: July 2020

This Study entitled as “Livelihood Pattern of the Tibetan Refugees in Nepal” (A Case Study of the Samdupling in Jawalakhel and Khampa Refugee Camp in Boudha- Jorpati) aims to discover the livelihood patterns of Tibetan refugees residing in the Samdupling camp in Jawalakhel and Khampa Refugee’s Camp in Boudha-Jorpati. The paper intends to examine the problems confronted by Tibetan refugees residing in the Samdupling camp and Khampa Refugee’s Camp. The study itself is conducted with the objectives of describing the present socio-economic status of Tibetan refugees dwelling in aforementioned camps located inside the Kathmandu valley and Lalitpur.

This write-up not only deals with different livelihood aspects of Tibetan refugees but also compares the livelihood of two camps to list out the social, economic and political problems affecting their livelihood. However, this study is mainly based on the primary information and the data which were collected using the techniques of household survey and sampling survey, along with questionnaire and interview during the several field visits to camps.

The paper concludes by stating that government intervention is required to resolve the issues affecting the livelihood of Tibetan refugees. Tibetan refugees’ problems required a political yet humanitarian resolution. The government needs to decide on whether to endow the citizenship or refugee card to the refugees who have been deprived of the both, or opt for the third-party settlement. For that Tibetans refugees also need to cooperate and coordinate with the refugees department under the Ministry of the Home Affair, Government of Nepal
Policies and Practices of Health Promotion in Nepal

Published: July 2020

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase and improve their health. Health Promotion has globally emerged as a separate stream of public health but in Nepal it is still a relatively new concept. There are challenges related to research in the field of health promotion. Health promotion requires policy makers across all government departments to make health a central line of government policy. The aims of this study is to discover key policies and strategies of health promotion in Nepal and to identify the different activities and practices carried out by them. This study is based on review of the national health policies that were published in different period of time. The paper argues that health promotion requires policy makers across all government bodies to make health a central line of government policy since health policy is one of the most important aspects of the livelihood development of a country.

Horticultural systems based on greenhouse tomato in south Uruguay: characterization and analysis of economic efficiencies
Authors: Berrueta María Cecilia , Dogliotti Santiago , Giménez Gustavo
Published: July 2020

Sustainable development of food production requires more productive, profitable, and resource-efficient farming systems. Economic efficiency depends on commercial yield, but also on the efficient use of inputs, their price, and the sale price of products; it is also related to farming system characteristics. This study aimed to assess resource endowment and structural characteristics of greenhouse tomato farms and how they affect the economic efficiency of tomato crop, delving into the analysis of the main causes of its variability. This study included 23 representative farms in south Uruguay and 110 tomato crops (two to three per farm) during 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons. We found high variability in commercial yields, product quality, sale prices according to harvest time, and production costs. This resulted in significant variability in net margins among crops, from negative values ​​to a maximum of usd 16.2 m-2. Four groups were distinguished according to farm characteristics. Large-scale farms had higher economic efficiency in tomato crops, however, farm scale group was not among the main factors responsible for crop net margin variability. The main cause of net margin variability in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 was gross income variability. Yield and sale price explained net margin differences for all gross income levels. However, the price was more relevant within the group with higher gross income and yield within the lower gross income group. Production costs were only ranked in the group of higher gross income.

Published: July 2020

Izricanjem i izvršavanjem zatvorskih kazni nastoji se postići opća i specijalna prevencija. Međutim, s obzirom na uvijek prisutnu mogućnost ponavljanja kaznenog djela, povratak zatvorenika u zajednicu dovodi do zabrinutosti javnosti, ali jednako tako predstavlja izazov za praktičare i zakonodavce. Kriminalni je povrat svakako odgovornost pojedinca, no postavlja se i pitanje, koliko društvo može doprinijeti prevenciji tog fenomena. Ovim se radom analizira potreba rada na smanjivanju kriminalnog povrata sa stajališta jačanja odgovornosti u pojedincu i njegovoj motivaciji za promjenom načina života, ali i s aspekta odgovornosti društva i ključnih dionika za aktivnosti i sadržaje kojima je potrebno odgovoriti na kriminogene potrebe zatvorenika i otpuštenih zatvorenika.
Za učinkovito izvršavanje kazne zatvora i socijalnu reintegraciju otpuštenih zatvorenika u Republici Hrvatskoj ključna su tri sustava – zatvorski, probacijski i sustav socijalne skrbi, a posljednjih godina sve se važnijim čimbenikom u ovom procesu javlja i nevladin sektor. Stoga će ovaj rad, vezan za područja djelovanja spomenutih dionika, analizirati suvremene inozemne spoznaje kao i postignuća i izazove u Republici Hrvatskoj sa stajališta smjernica za postizanje učinkovitije poslijepenalne zaštite i potrebe novih istraživanja domaće prakse. Zaključnim osvrtom sumiraju se pozitivni pomaci i inicijative u poslijepenalnoj zaštiti u našoj zemlji u skladu sa suvremenim smjernicama, uz naglasak na potrebi daljnjeg unapređivanja i istraživanja domaće prakse u pojedinim segmentima.

Published: July 2020

The article contains new information on the current problem of the influence of endo- and exopathogenic factors on the structure of the digestive system. The purpose of the study was to establish the structural features of the interlobular bile ducts under the conditions of six weeks of exposure to nalbuphine in the experiment. The study was based on 30 white laboratory rats of male reproductive age. Histological sections of the liver were stained with hematoxylin and eosin according to conventional methods. The «Aver Media» computer system was used to photograph the micropreparations. The computer program ImageJ was used to measure the diameter of the lumen and the wall thickness of the interlobular bile duct. «Excel» and «Statistica» 6.0 software were used for statistical processing of the obtained digital data. The results of the study show that against the background of nalbuphine administration for six weeks there are morphological changes in the interlobular bile ducts of experimental animals, manifested by destructuring of the interlobular bile ducts, loss of their proper shape, expansion and unevenness of their lumens, deformation and thickening of the interstitial walls in 2-3 times, disorganization of cholangiocytes, thinning of the cell layer due to detachment of cholangiocytes, polymorphism of their nuclei, stratification, fragmentation of the lamina propria of the interlobular bile ducts, periductal edema, dilatation of interlobular portal tracts, "varicose" veins of the interlobular portal tracts, pronounced smooth muscle hyperplasia of the interlobular arteries, the presence of perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates. The data of the study can be used in practical medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of pathology of the bile ducts due to long-term use of opioids.

Disorders in the hemostatic system leading to the development of thrombosis are one of the main complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) of stage VD who are on program hemodialysis. The development of thrombophilic syndrome as a process of intravascular coagulation is characterized by systemic activation of procoagulative mechanisms, which are not always compensated by internal natural anticoagulant systems. The determination of early predictors of possible thrombogenesis in the studied category of patients causes significant difficulties. The goal is to study the features of hemostatic system disorders in patients with CKD VD stage who are on programmed hemodialysis, and to assess their relationship with the characteristics of the course of the disease. In 88 patients with CKD of the VD stage who are on program hemodialysis (52 men and 36 women), the features of hemostasis disorders depending on the clinical characteristics of the patients were studied. The indicators of prethrombosis (soluble fibrin (sF), fibrinogen (Fg), functionally inactive forms of prothrombin (FIFP)), postthrombosis (D-dimer (D-d)) and anticoagulation (protein C (pC)) were determined depending on gender, hemodialysis experience, age, the presence of anemia, arterial hypertension (AH) and preserved residual renal function (RRF). Statistical processing of materials was carried out using methods of variation statistics using t-student criterion. It was found that violations in the hemostatic system are detected in almost all patients. At the same time, hyperfibrinogenemia, an increase in sF concentration, a deficiency of pC, less often an accumulation of FIFP and high levels of D-d are most often observed. These disorders of hemostasis are more often found in patients with absent RRF, a longer experience of hemodialysis, the presence of arterial hypertension and are less associated with gender, age of patients and are little dependent on the degree of anemia.

In 2018, medical and social expert commissions (MSEC) of Ukraine for the first time and re-certified and recognized persons with disabilities 7843 combatants. Of these, disability of group I (IA and IB) was established in 2.6 %, II – in 29.2 %, III – in 68.2 % of cases. All victims for MSEC were formed IRP. The dependence of the needs of combatants in medical and social rehabilitation measures on the severity of disability has been established. For persons with disabilities of groups II and III, priority is given to medical and professional rehabilitation, group I – social rehabilitation and technical means of rehabilitation with medical support. Of the medical rehabilitation services for persons with II and III groups of disability, sanatorium treatment is significant, and group I – rehabilitation therapy. Among vocational rehabilitation services, employment in production conditions is important – for persons with group III disabilities, in specially created conditions – for persons with group II disabilities, at home – for persons with group I disabilities. Vocational training was offered to a small number of people with disabilities of all groups. Among social rehabilitation services and technical means of rehabilitation, the services of social workers of territorial social service centers were significant for representatives of all disability groups, simpler means of transportation for persons of group III disability and more complex means for persons of group I. Determining the characteristics of the needs of servicemen with disabilities depending on its severity allows MSEC specialists to better form the IRP, develop targeted rehabilitation programs at the regional level, assess shortcomings in the organization of the rehabilitation process and build a rehabilitation system for combatants.

Gallstone disease is quite common in the adult population and can quickly cause life-threatening conditions that require extensive surgical treatment. In recent years, the assessment of quality of life is becoming increasingly important in world medicine as an indicator of the general condition of the patient and the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation measures. The aim of this work – to collect and calculate indicators of quality of life in postoperative patients with gallstones of gall bladder and common bile duct; to compare data from patients with open and laparoscopic treatment; to determine the advantages of the treatment methods. For rating quality of life 36-Item Short-Form Health Status (SF-36) was used. The statistic was collected using retrospective analysis of worked out data in laparoscopic surgery unit in Volynian regional state hospital during 2016–2019 (191 patients). Patients of group I (113 patients) underwent laparoscopic treatment, patients of group II used open surgical treatment (78 people). Statistical processing was performed using the program “Statistica 6.0” (Statsoft Inc., USA). In group I pain level in first two hours was significantly lower than in group II (6.2 vs 8.4 in 10 point scale), in addition, pain relief became faster reaching low pain level of abdomen in 2.48 days. In group II pain level was higher (8.4 points) and pain relief was reached in 5.11 days. Oral nutrition and verticalisation were renewed in 14.7±3.1 hours in group I, and in 22.9±5,5 hours in group II and 6.1±1,9 hours in group I vs 19.7±3,3 hours in group II. Also, according the results SF-36, quality of life indicators indicate faster recovery in the group of laparoscopic treatment compared to the group with the classic version of the operation. The physical functioning and physical performance of the role differed significantly in favor of laparoscopic treatment throughout the follow-up period. Pain indicators in the first group were satisfactory after 1 month of rehabilitation, while in the second group such indicators were achieved only after 6 months – 91/94/94 vs. 74/89/94. Although psychological well-being differed between 1 and 3 months, in favor of minimally invasive treatment, after 6 months the data were comparable in both groups.

Published: July 2020

This study was conducted to address the issue of gathering information to track the career and accomplishments of graduates for quality improvement in higher education. Due to the lack of a convenient method to gather information using an efficient mechanism, this study reviewed graduate analytics based on the iCGPA system with the primary aim of examining its potential utility in such a system, and vice versa. A systematic literature review was conducted to integrate the relevant academic literature related to graduate analytics and iCGPA system. Using the PRISMA method, we identified 160 different articles, but only 125 met the specified inclusion criteria. Our analysis of the accepted articles to determine the potential of graduate analytics in iCGPA system, and vice versa, produced zero results where no intersection of the two topics could be found in the research literature from 2011 to 2018. Our findings indicate an acute lack of research in these two areas. However, we believe this gap can be minimized since there are already higher education institutions in Malaysia that are currently implementing the iCGPA system. The implementation could inform us regarding how graduate analytics can be used to expand the value of iCGPA for improving the quality of Malaysian higher education graduates.

Authors: Ibrahim Ayat , Rais Haniza
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this study was to explore the weight management and weight maintenance challenges experienced by obese female university students through a support group that acted as an intervention programme. The study is a phenomenological research involving four female students of a public university in Malaysia who were having problems with weight loss. They were selected with three inclusion criteria: female, had a body mass index of ≥ 30 kgm-2 and was currently seeking or had previously tried a method of losing weight. Interview protocols were used to guide interaction in the support group, and data were collected from regular focus group discussions occurring in the support group, journal writing, and products of the support group activities. Verbatims were transcribed and “meaning units” were derived from significant overlapping ideas. Using the socio-ecological model, the challenges of weight management among the participants were identified to exist at the individual, interpersonal and community levels. Of these three, the individual level was noted to have the most prominent number of challenge factors caused by poor self-control and the participants’ psychological states. Various issues related to poor self-control were the most frequently occurring themes among the participants who wanted to lose weight. In view of the findings, counsellors, dietitians or healthcare providers need to consider counselling techniques that can empower clients to manage their thoughts and emotions effectively as this will increase their self-efficacy in self-control.
