Krisnawati A, Bayu MSYI, Adie MM. 2017. Identification of soybean genotypes based on antixenosis and antibiosis to the armyworm (Spodoptera litura). Nusantara Bioscience 9: 164-169. Armyworm (Spodoptera litura F.) is the main soybean leaf-feeding pest in Indonesia. A total of 10 soybean genotypes was identified for its resistance to armyworm through antixenosis and antibiosis tests. Genotype G100H was used as a resistant check. The experiment was conducted from April to July 2016 in Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Indonesian Legumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute, Malang, Indonesia and Laboratory of Optic, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim, Malang, Indonesia. Based on antixenosis resistance mechanism, two genotypes were resistant, two genotypes were moderately resistant, and six genotypes were susceptible to armyworm. Two resistant genotypes (G511H/Anj-1-4 and G100H) have short and dense trichome in the both of adaxial and abaxial positions. Those trichome orientation become a barrier for insect pests with chewing and biting type of mouth parts. Antibiosis resistance was evaluated based on armyworm growth. The lighter larval and pupal weight, and also a longer period of the larval and pupal stage were shown in two resistant genotypes which based on antixenosis test. Furthermore, the pupal weight seems to be more influential to the weight of larvae due to the mechanism of antibiosis. Hence, G511H/Anj-1-4 can be used as a source of the gene for improvement of soybean resistance to armyworm.

Raden I, Fathillah SS, Fadli M, Suyadi. 2017. Nutrient content of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) by various bio-activator and soaking time. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 209-213. Inorganic fertilizers have negative impacts on soil structure, cause water and soil pollution, and produce less healthy crop production. These conditions can be improved with organic fertilizers. The research aimed to make liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) treated with various bio-activator and soaking time and to know the nutritional content in it as well. Observed variables were pH; C/N ratio; macro and micro nutrients. Research used a completely randomized design in factorial analysis. The first factor was the various bio-activator (b), i.e. b1 = EM-4 culture; b2 = boisca; and b3 = shrimp paste. The second factor was soaking time (t), i.e. t1 = 10 days; t2 = 20 days, t3 = 30 days; and t4 = 40 days. The treatment was repeated (r) three times and tested by analysis of variance and LSD at 5% level. The results showed that culture of EM4 bio-activator had higher content of C/N ratio; organic-C; total-N; Co; B; Mn; Fe; Cu; and Zn than the other bio-activators, although it also had lower content of pH, P2O5; K2O than others but those values were not significantly different compared to boisca and shrimp paste bio-activators. The other result showed that soaking time had significantly effect in determining the nutrient content of the C/N ratio; Organic-C; Total-N; P2O5 ; K2O; Total-Ca; Mg; S; Co; B; Mn; Fe; Cu; and Zn, but not at pH variable. Soaking time of 40 days (t4) provided the highest value on the C/N ratio; pH; Mn; Fe; and Zn. On the other hand, soaking time of 30 days (t3) provided the highest value on the organic-C; K2O; total-Ca; and B. Meanwhile, soaking time of 20 days (t2) provided the highest nutrient values on Cu; Co; B; Mg; and total-N. While, soaking time of 10 days (t1) gave the highest value on the nutrient content of P2O5 and S. The interaction between the various bio-activator and soaking time b3t3 had the highest value 575.41 ppm of B, then treatment b2t3 had the highest 0.89% of K2O, and treatment b1t4 gave the highest nutrient content 1648.82 ppm of Fe.
CORRIM: The 20th Anniversary That Was More Than 40 Years in the Making*
Authors: Bowyer Jim L. , Lippke Bruce R.
Published: July 2017

In commemorating almost anything, it can be easy to forget what came before the event celebrated. In the case of the Committee on Renewable Resources for Industrial Materials (CORRIM) or, more accurately CORRIM II, the roots are deep, extending at least back to 1970. This report chronicles the events leading up to the creation of the original CORRIM effort, outlines the early history of CORRIM II, and includes observations regarding future directions. The story begins around the time of the first Earth Day, involves a congressionally authorized initiative focused on industrial raw materials that largely ignored renewables, leads to action by the wood science and technology community to include consideration in federal policymaking of wood and agriculturally derived material, and results in the formation of CORRIM I. After a period of several decades during which raw material issues loom progressively larger, the story resumes with the reengagement of the wood science community concurrent with development of a new environmental impact evaluation tool—life-cycle assessment—and concludes with incorporation of CORRIM II in 1996. The end of the story, however, is also the beginning, with much already accomplished but much yet to be done.

Published: July 2017

The incidence of G-6-P-D deficiency in Indonesia is not yet known. So far only Inyo Luan Eng (1964) reported the incidence in some parts of Indonesia. Other data are only from case reports. This study which consisted of 3200 babies -- born in the Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from September 1975 through October 1976 proved that the incidence is high enough that is 2.66% (85 out of 3200). The hemoglobin content of G-6-P-D deficient babies showed an average of 14.4 g%. This gives us an idea that there is slight anemia in these babies. The incidence of jaundice was 35 out of 85 (41%). Factors inducing jaundice were infection, hypoxia and sub-aponeurotic bleeding. Of 60 which could be examined quantitatively only 2 showed a G-6-P-D activity level of more than 120 mu/10^9 RBC, so that the screening method could be used for early detection of G-6-P-D deficiency.

Published: July 2017

A cross sectional study was undertaken on 58 children (age range 4 months-15 years) With congenital heart disease (CHD) and in controls of 58 subjects without CHD. The study was performed by anthropometric examination, history of acute respiratory tract infection, dietary intake, simple laboratory examination and type and severity of CHD were recorded. There were significant differences in: 1. Nutritional status between patients With CHD and without CHD (p<0.001). 2. Frequency of acute respiratory tract infection between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.001). 3. Duration of each episode of acute respiratory tract infection between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.05). 4. Calorie and protein intakes between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.005). Type of CHD (cyanotic and non-cyanotic) was significantly associated with nutritional status based on height for age among patients with CHD (p<0.01). However, there was no siignificant association between the presence or absence of heart failure with nutritional status among patients with CHD. In conclusion, there were Significantly differences of nutritional status, frequency/duration of acute respiratory tract infection, calories and protein intake between patients with CHD and without CHD. Type of CHD (cyanotic and non-cyanotic) was significantly associated with nutritional status based on height for age.

Published: July 2017

We compared the physical growth, nutritional status, and echocardiographic findings in children aged 3-7 years with Down syndrome who had no congenital heart disease. Thirty such patients who consecutively referred to the Division of Cardiology, Department of Child Health, Medical School, University of Indonesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, were compared with sex and age matched controls consisted of normal children attending the Department. It appears that growth and nutritional status of children with Down syndrome tended to be retarded when compared to those of the controls. However, no significant difference were found on the M-mode echocardiographic values of the left ventricle, except that the left ventricular posterior wall thickness in study subjects was more that that of the controls. We concluded that although the pulmonary architecture of patients with Down syndrome is thought to be less developed than that of normal children, it does not affect the left ventricular measurements and function as measured by M-mode echocardiography.
Understanding the emigration propensity of Romanian teachers: Does ethnicity play a role?
Authors: Hăisan Angel-Alex , Goschin Zizi , Avornicului Mihai
Published: July 2017

Mass migration was, is, and will always be an important topic of discussion regardless of whether it is economically, socially, or politically motivated. This is certainly a matter of great concern for Romania, currently Europe’s largest sender of migrants to Western Europe. Considering that the educational system should be of the uttermost priority, we addressed the issue of emigration propensity among Romanian teachers making use of data from our own nationwide survey. Bivariate logistic models were employed to identify the main factors behind the emigration decisions of pre-university teachers. Aiming to enrich the narrow economic perspective, we adopted a novelty approach by focusing on an overlooked determinant in emigration research studies, namely ethnicity in relation to nationality. Among Romania’s minorities, Hungarians are the most important ethnic group, accounting for 6.1% of the population, hence we explored their migration behaviour compared to Romanian ethnics. The results from the logistic regression models indicate significant differences regarding the factors that trigger the intention to initiate the emigration process for our subjects, based on their ethnicity. We found that teachers of Hungarian ethnicity display 50.6% less propensity to emigrate compared to the ones of Romanian ethnicity and we were able to shape distinct emigration profiles for the two groups.
Determinants of CEE government bond spreads and contagion between 2001–2014
Authors: Gyódi Kristóf
Published: July 2017

This paper analyses the pricing of sovereign risk and contagion during the crises in the Central and Eastern European countries. Panel data are used to estimate the determinants of government bond spreads in three different time periods: before the crisis, during the global financial crisis, and during the European debt crisis. The econometric model includes interactions between the explanatory variables and the crisis dummies. This specification enables the coefficients to change during the crises. The empirical analysis confirms a statistically significant relationship between sovereign risk and macroeconomic fundamental variables. Additionally, the results suggest an increase in the importance of macroeconomic fundamentals during the financial crisis. The analysis also supports that sovereign credit ratings and exchange rate risk have a significant impact on government bond spreads.
Realism in economics: The new classical case
Authors: Galbács Péter
Published: July 2017

For the last few decades, considerable attention has been paid to the methodology of mainstream economics. It is not mere chance that economics is surrounded by methodological debates. If its relevance is at stake, this can be either refuted or proven most efficiently at a methodological level. Arguments for and against mainstream economics underline the methodological homogeneity of mainstream economics, while serious, though almost neglected, arguments can be found for a view according to which the long history of mainstream economics can be described as a sequence of methodological breaks. I argue, firstly, for a sharp demarcation by new classical macroeconomics from the Friedmanian instrumentalism and, secondly, for the realism of new classicals. I strive to identify the epistemological principles underlying Lucas’ models and to highlight the signs of that demarcation as well. I concentrate on the techniques by which new classicals could set their models into an indirect relationship with reality. It is also highlighted that the common terminology, according to which the assumptions of abstract economic models are uniformly regarded as “unrealistic”, actually refers to two different techniques. From these approaches, there is only one which can be justifiably labelled as realist.
Towards excellence in clinical education

Published: July 2017

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: The healthcare system has a growing need for knowledgeable and skilled health care personnel to meet the demands to support student learning in clinical training. One way to assess teachers' competence is to use a teacher portfolio; however, this has not been done with the mission of clinical health care personnel in focus. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a portfolio to assess clinical health care personnel´s pedagogical competence. Methods: Pedagogical active nurses and physicians from the anesthesia department, operating room and intensive care, and an educational expert with extensive experience of developmental work of pedagogical portfolios in the academic setting developed a qualifications portfolio for pedagogical competence in the clinical setting. Result: The assessment standards define five levels of teaching competence and include both experience and quality of the educational mission in the clinical setting. The pedagogical portfolio is congruent with the assessment tool and structured with headings to promote clinical teachers to document both quantitative and qualitative aspects of teaching. Conclusion: The portfolio enables clinicians and managers in academic hospitals to highlight the need for high-quality professional and the ability to identify needs for pedagogical skills among health care personnel.

Quest to Freedom: Reclaiming Individuality through Sado-Masochism in Faggots by Larry Kramer
Authors: Kit Tay Lai , Sedehi Kamelia Talebian
Published: July 2017

Individuality is the quality or character of a particular person that distinguishes them from others of the same kind. In other words, it is the mark which separates its existence from the rest of the group. According to Fromm, the process of individuality begins at infancy level when the child is separated from the mother. This then takes an emotional toll on the child as he suffers from loneliness and anxiety which stem from the prior separation. The child will henceforth acquire his individuality through the process of socialization which requires constant interaction with people in his life. For this paper, we have selected a novel, Faggots, authored by Larry Kramer, to be the main text for our research. This article argues that the characters in the text are conflicted with feelings of anxiety and loneliness as they embark on respective quest to eradicate the feeling of loneliness by looking for a potential life partner. However, these characters go through a series of promiscuous relationships by living an active sexual lifestyle on the ground that they are in search of the “right” one. Therefore, this paper will look into the sadistic and masochistic (sometimes both; otherwise known as sadomasochistic) tendency practiced by the characters in the novel in their quest to reclaim their lost individuality. This research draws in the concept of freedom, sadism, and masochism as proposed by Erich Fromm to further consolidate the findings.
Integrating Thinking into L2 Learning: What do We Learn from Students’ Learning Experience
Authors: Chen Mei-Hui
Published: July 2017

This study conducted a higher-order thinking approach in the L2 classroom and examined students’ attitudes towards and perceptions of learning with high cognitive thinking. Teaching higher-order thinking is essential for learning and teachers are encouraged by education authorities to integrate high cognitive thinking into teaching. Yet, little is known about the extent to which students who are used to learning with lower-order thinking skills like reciting and comprehension in the L2 classroom can adapt to learning using higher-order thinking. This paper addresses this issue by exploring students’ attitudes towards and perceptions of the importance of thinking in L2 learning and how it impacts on learning through the analysis of data collected from a case study design, including 40 self-completed questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 16 students. This study shows that three-quarters of the students hold positive attitudes towards learning using higher-order thinking, and such learning facilitated their learning performance and learning behavior, while one quarter resisted. The findings of the study reflect on teaching higher-order thinking, and provide recommendations for integrating thinking skills into L2 teaching.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a skeletal system disease characterized by decline of bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, which leads to increased bone fragility and, consequently, a greater risk of fractures. Postmenopausal osteoporosis generally occurs between 51 and 75 years of age following ovarian failure. Our aim was to investigate if specific lifestyle habits, i.e., smoking cigarettes and physical activity, as well as the intake of dietary supplements, affect bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women.Methods: Ultrasound (US) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) data, obtained between 2008 and 2009 year, were retrospectively reviewed for 150 women in postmenopause, 50-65 years old, who live in Sarajevo Canton. The women were classified into two groups: Group A (75 postmenopausal women who underwent US of the left heel bone); control group B (75 postmenopausal women who underwent US of the left heel bone and had a DEXA scan of the lumbar spine and left hip).Results: The study included 150 women with the average age of 55.39 years. In the total sample, 24.7% of women took calcium and vitamin D supplements, and no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups. In the total sample, the prevalence of osteoporosis was significantly different between smokers and nonsmokers; i.e., osteoporosis was more frequent in women who smoked cigarettes. On average, women in both groups reported low physical activity; the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions: Menopause is a known risk for osteoporosis. Our results showed that the length of menopause is closely associated with osteoporosis occurrence.
Unusual presentation of acute pancreatitis mimicking strangulated inguinal hernia in a patient with bladder exstrophy: a rare case report
Authors: C. Vijayakumar , VJ Reddy , T. P. Elamurugan , S. Jagdish
Published: July 2017

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common surgical emergency. Apart from the typical clinical presentation, unusual presentations are also reported in literature. Here we present a case of acute pancreatitis presenting as a strangulated inguinal hernia. A 45-year-old male with a neglected bladder exstrophy and reducible left inguinal hernia since childhood presented with pain over the left inguinal swelling for three days duration. Patient was initially managed conservatively since there were no signs of complication. After initial conservative management, the patient developed features of strangulation and was taken up for inguinoscrotal exploration. Intra-operatively, direct inguinal hernial sac was identified without any bowel obstruction. Further explorative laparotomy revealed an inflamed, bulky pancreas. The peri-pancreatic fluid aspirated intra-operatively had an amylase value of >4000 IU. Postoperative period was uneventful and patient was discharged after 8 days. In this case an already reducible hernia became irreducible due to pancreatic fluid collection and inflammation of contents. Lack of abdominal symptoms or signs can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery. We report an unusual presentation of acute pancreatitis mimicking a strangulated inguinal hernia in a patient with bladder exstrophy.

Published: July 2017

Cherry cultivation in the Carpathian basin area began more than 100.000 years ago. Adapting to the basin specific ecological conditions resulted in high degree of genetic variability among the cherry cultivars. The SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers allow the discrimination of the cultivars and determination their specific DNA fingerprints. Due to the high degree of polymorphism of microsatellite markers, generally only six SSR loci are enough to differentiate the varieties. Microsatellite markers are used not only for cultivar identification but also for the verification of synonyms and homonyms. Owing to their locus specificity and Mendelian codominant inheritance, parentage can be clearly identified, primary and secondary relationships between the cultivars can be discovered. The aim of this research was to characterize 29 sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), and 38 sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) genotypes cultivated in Hungary to establish their DNA fingerprints in 6 SSR loci by allele numbers and sizes.
Role of agrotechnical elements in sustainable wheat and maize production
Authors: Pepó Péter
Published: July 2017

In conventional crop production the yield increasing was based on the huge industrial chemical inputs and new genotypes of cereals. This extreme external input use could modified the resilience, adaptive capacity and sustainability of different crop models. The effects of different crop management factors were studied in long- term experiments on chernozem soil in Eastern Hungary. The fertilizer responses of wheat varieties depended on the crop year (6.5-8.2 t ha-1 in 2011-2014 years) and the genotype (in 2012 the difference was 2.7 t ha-1 among genotypes). The optimum N(+PK) dose varied between 30-150 kg ha-1 in different crop years. The N-doses over optimum caused NO3-N accumulation in chernozem soil (from 32 mg kg-1 to 170 mg kg-1 ). In sustainable maize production the fertilization resulted high yield surpluses in average (2.0-4.1 t ha-1) and rainy (2.1-5.4 t ha-1) crop year in our long-term experiment (in 1986-2014 years). The yield increasing of irrigation were agronomically effective only in dry crop years (3.3-4.9 t ha-1) and they were very limited in average (1.2-1.3 t ha-1) and rainy (0-0.2 t ha-1) crop year (in 1986-2014 years) The optimum fertilization could improve WUE in maize production.
From teacher dependency to learner independence: a study of Saudi learners’ readiness for autonomous learning of English as a Foreign Language
Authors: Alrabai Fakieh
Published: July 2017

This study attempts to assess the readiness of Saudi students for independent/autonomous learning, with a focus on learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The study used a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to gain insights from a population of 319 students (aged 15-24) about their perceptions of responsibilities, decision-making abilities, motivation, involvement in autonomy-related activities, and capacity to take charge of their own learning. The findings of the study confirmed the relatively low readiness of Saudi EFL learners for independent learning (M = 3.06 on a scale of 1 to 5, SD =.31). Learners demonstrated low responsibility levels, since only 17.27% of them perceived that they accept sole responsibility for their EFL learning. Respondents reported a moderate level of ability (M = 3.63) and motivation (M = 3.70) to learn English. A considerable percentage of participants (27.29%) reported that they are rarely involved in self-directed activities; they demonstrated high levels of teacher dependency and low levels of learner independence. Despite the participants’ reasonable level of awareness of the nature of learner autonomy and its demands, their responses identified them as EFL learners with low autonomy. This study informs EFL learning stakeholders in Saudi Arabia that learners’ readiness for such conditions must be developed before interventions aimed at promoting autonomy are implemented in this context.

Emirati student recruitment and retention in nursing education
Authors: Devadas Briliya
Published: July 2017

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors surrounding low Emirati student recruitment and retention within a nursing programme in the Abu Dhabi Emirate. A sequential explanatory mixed methods research design was used to collect data from 140 Emirati students at different levels of the nursing program. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and related document analyses were used to collect information for this study. Quantitative analysis revealed that overall participants perceived the Emirati society as holding a positive image of nursing, though a majority of them indicated that nursing as a profession, would be a third or last choice of career for them. Inferential analysis on the reasons to choose or not choose nursing, revealed an opportunity to work as part of the team; and as a stepping stone to other professions as significant reasons, versus perceived program difficulty level, and perceived unpleasant tasks.

Discrimination of performance tiers and prediction of success in introductory physics courses using a statistical method for establishing cutoff scores
Authors: Alarfaj Maher M. , Secolsky Charles , Alshaya Fahad S.
Published: July 2017

This study sheds light on the prediction of success using cutoff scores for student grades adopted for a required Physics pathway course for study in a health professions program at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. Data on course grade and GPA for approximately 10,000 students enrolled in this course between 2008–2014, were analyzed. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine cutoffs for course grades using ranges of GPA. This procedure has promise as a new method for quantitatively arriving at cutoff scores using an external criterion requiring less human judgment than most existing standard setting methods. The cutoff scores produced show that GPAs of students who complete the Physics course yield successive performance tiers that are lower than expected. In addition, the correlation between GPA and course grade for Physics is only 0.63 and therefore only 39% of the variation in GPA explains course grade. As a result of the findings of the study, the decision was made to maintain the existing standards thereby requiring higher grades in the Physics course for students seeking to enter a health professions course of study.

Signal‐Regulated Protein Kinases/Protein Kinase B‐p53‐BH3–Interacting Domain Death Agonist Pathway Regulates Gingipain‐Induced Apoptosis in Osteoblasts
Authors: Zhang Fuping , Qiu Qihong , Song Xiangchen , Chen Yuting , Wu Juan , Liang Min
Published: July 2017

Background: Gingipains are cysteine proteases produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, the predominant pathogen in chronic periodontitis. The present study aims to examine the role of gingipains in promoting apoptosis in osteoblasts.

Methods: Human calvarial osteoblasts and osteoblast MC3T3‐E1 cells were treated with 8.348 U/L gingipains. Flow cytometry analysis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated deoxy‐UTP nick end labeling staining were used to detect cell apoptosis. Protein expression was examined by Western blotting, and gene expression was detected by real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Small interfering (si)RNA transfection was used to knock down BH3‐interacting domain death agonist (Bid) expression.

Results: Treatment with 8.348 U/L gingipains from 4 to 72 hours increased apoptosis, accompanied by elevated cleaved caspase‐3 levels. Notably, gingipain‐induced apoptosis was associated with increase of Bid and its truncated form, tBid, as well as p53. Transfection with Bid siRNA resulted in suppression of gingipain‐induced apoptosis. The p53 inhibitor, Pifithrin‐α, blocked the gingipain‐induced Bid. The ability of gingipains to stimulate p53 and Bid expression was mimicked by PD‐0325901 and MK‐2206, the specific extracellular signal‐regulated protein kinases (ERK) and protein kinase B (PKB) inhibitors, respectively. Furthermore, treatment with gingipains reduced phospho‐ERK and phospho‐PKB levels, an effect correlated to gingipain‐induced increase in p53 and tBid expression.

Conclusion: The present findings suggest that Bid plays an essential role in gingipain‐induced osteoblast apoptosis, which is dependent on inhibition of ERK and PKB phosphorylation, followed by the activation of p53.

Published: July 2017

O inter-relacionamento de saberes locais com as diversas áreas de conhecimento é muito importante para que possamos obter informações mais precisas sobre um determinado campo de estudo. Para que tenhamos condições de abordar com clareza essas inter-relações, necessitamos compreender os conceitos específicos encontrados em grandes áreas do conhecimento acadêmico como as Ciências e a Matemática, que podem estar respaldadas por outros campos de pesquisas denominados etnociências e etnomatemática. Nesse artigo teórico, julgamos necessário discutir o surgimento de algumas terminologias importantes com relação a determinadas áreas de pesquisa denominadas etno-x, pautando-nos em um estudo bibliográfico que tem, como temática central, a tentativa de compreender a polissemia de significados para o termo etno para ressaltarmos o nosso objetivo principal que é avançarmos nos estudos e compreensões da etnomatemática como um programa de pesquisa e a sua relação polissêmica com outros campos do conhecimento.
