Preparing Social Work Students for Child Welfare Careers: The Use of Title IV-E Training Funds in Social Work Education
Authors: Zlotnik Joan Levy , Cornelius Llewellyn J.
Published: June 2018

Child welfare agencies are seeking ways to improve the competency of their staff. As a result of partnership efforts between social work education programs and public child welfare agencies, an increasing number of BSW and MSW programs have accessed Title IV-E training funds to support the social work education of current and potential child welfare workers. This article reports on a survey of the use of this funding stream in social work education. It identifies (1) trends in its use, (2) characteristics of programs that do and do not receive funding, and (3) the impact of this funding source on social work education. The findings also reflect on the impact of use of Title IV-E funds on child welfare training in the United States.
Portfolio Assessment: Meeting the Challenge of a Self-Study
Authors: Spicuzza Frank J.
Published: June 2018

Portfolio assessment is offered and analyzed as an outcomes-measure to meet the challenge of a self-study. This article discusses and evaluates the potential of this diagnostic tool to assist a program in determining what it offers, what students learn, how well it is meeting its educational objectives, and its strengths and limitations. Carefully designed assessment procedures are identified as being essential to continually address these questions. The advantages and restrictions of using this assessment measure are examined. An undergraduate social work program's involvement with portfolios is provided as a model. The results of a 3-year evaluation study of the program's portfolio process reinforce educators' positive testimonials of this assessment instrument.
Gatekeeping for Cultural Competence: Ready or Not? Some Post and Modernist Doubts
Authors: Gross Gregory D.
Published: June 2018

Cultural competence, an axiomatic idea full of promise, struggles to meet its mission due to four handicapping conditions: the over-ambitiousness of the term's definition; the underrepresentation of the humanities in HBSE content; the over-simplification of the term culture; and the underpreparedness of professors and programs for delivery of diversity content. “Mastery” of minority content may not be possible, and those who believe they have such mastery face the danger of understanding clients too soon, too superficially. Ironically, the postmodern stance of “not knowing” leads to greater levels of empathy toward members of all populations.
Gatekeeping for Small Baccalaureate Social Work Programs
Authors: Morrow Deana F.
Published: June 2018

The project was completed over a semester's time and included group work done in teams composed of students from each profession. The primary goal was to complete a comprehensive community-wide assessment in a local neighborhood.

The description of the project includes rational for the project: details of the planning and implementation, including barriers and hurdles encountered by faculty and students; summary of the findings of the evaluations completed by faculty and students; student perceptions of the project; and recommendations for future use of the project in this and other practice classes.
Baccalaureate Social Work Licensure: Its Effects on Salary and Use of Job Titles
Authors: Cavazos Alonzo
Published: June 2018

Texas' social work licensure statute limits the use of social work titles to licensed social workers. Yet the statute provides a loophole that allows human service agencies to employ unlicensed social workers, provided that those individuals do not use licensed titles. This study, which explored the relationship between social work licensure, job titles, and employment salary in an accredited undergraduate program, found that only half of the 1991 and 1996 graduates were licensed. Additionally, survey respondents (whether licensed or not) received comparable salaries, and the majority were assigned generic job titles including caseworker, casemanager, and other nonlicensed titles. Licensure exemptions at the baccalaureate level in Texas and elsewhere may pose a threat to the future viability of baccalaureate social work education.
Linking Curricular Sequences: A Module for Developing Social Policy
Authors: Sokolec Jeanne E.
Published: June 2018

Integrative assignments that incorporate skills from related sequences are one method of strengthening previously learned skills as well as providing a more naturalistic learning experience. This article discusses an assignment in a macro-level social policy course in which the students are required to conduct a needs assessment that they had learned in a research course taken previously. Theoretical material is included as support for such an assignment. Advantages of an integrative assignment are discussed from the point of the view of the student.
Are We Teaching Critical Thinking in the Classroom?
Authors: Kersting Robert C. , Mumm Ann Marie
Published: June 2018

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires social work programs to integrate critical thinking into their curriculum (CSWE, 1992). This article reports results from a pilot study designed to assess how well students integrate critical thinking skills after a one-semester generalist practice course. Forty-six students completed a pre- and posttest assessing critical-thinking skills and their attitudes about critical thinking. The results show some minimal changes in critical thinking. It is concluded that critical thinking is a difficult set of skills to develop and it requires more than a single, one-semester course to develop those skills. We suggest changes in teaching methodology. The article concludes with a discussion of issues regarding measurement of critical thinking for future research.
Mastery Learning: A Promising Instructional Method for Social Work Education
Authors: Aviles Christopher B.
Published: June 2018

Mastery learning is a behavioral instructional method using additional learning time, and repeated testing opportunities to increase student learning. Although successful in higher education, mastery learning has not been studied in social work. Mastery- and nonmastery-learning instruction were contrasted using four sections of a BSW course with identical content and exams. One instructor taught two course sections with mastery learning, another instructor taught two sections with nonmastery instruction. Dependent variables included student achievement, instructional preference, and attitude toward course topic. Instructor hours spent and reactions to mastery learning were measured.

Both instructional methods resulted in similar achievement and similar changes in attitude toward course topic. Of students, 100% preferred mastery instruction. Both methods involved similar amounts of instructor time, but the mastery instructor reported increased classroom time efficiency and coordination between teaching and testing. Mastery learning should be considered a promising instructional method for social work education.
Teaching Social Work Values within their Historical Context
Authors: Tyler Wade M.
Published: June 2018

Social work values have long been recognized as central to the practice of the profession, and their transmission to succeeding generations of practitioners is a standing task of social work education. Yet, in spite of their being included along with ethics as one content area in the current Council on Social Work Education Curriculum Policy Statement, social work values often receive only passing treatment in social work texts, and instructors may fail to adequately flesh them out for students. This article proposes that social work values be presented in their historical context, giving students examples from the writings of the profession's pioneers. It then provides the reader a number of historical exemplars for some of the more commonly espoused social work values, and shows how a constellation of professional values began to emerge about the mid-point of the 20th century.
A Model for Teaching Research Methods Based on Cognitive-Behavioral and Social Learning Theories
Authors: Fabelo-Alcover Humberto E.
Published: June 2018

This article presents a teaching model addressing two important issues related to teaching research to social work students: the unnecessary fear some social work students have related to research coursework, and development of a hands-on learning environment in which the instructor models the role of researcher. The proposed model incorporates aspects of social learning and cognitive-behavioral theories as a way to address both concerns. The author designed and implemented an intervention to assess cognitions about research and to teach students how to clarify distortions and practice progressive relaxation techniques. This classroom-based intervention also served as the primary vehicle for hands-on exercises to illustrate the research process. The results of three different applications of this model suggest that students felt more confident and less fearful about their ability to conduct research. The author discusses teaching implications and further study of this model using comparison and control groups.
Teaching as Groupwork
Authors: Graham Mari Ann
Published: June 2018

The constructivist paradigm offers the possibility for making group process central rather than peripheral to the teaching/learning experience. From this perspective, the teacher is a facilitator rather than an expert, the classroom is a dynamic group, and teaching is a form of groupwork. “Grounded discussion,” a teaching innovation developed from this paradigm, relies heavily on group process skills of the teacher/facilitator. Although clearly relevant to the teaching and modeling of groupwork in particular, it can be used across the social work curriculum.
Using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) for Student Self-Assessment
Authors: Dalton Bruce
Published: June 2018

This article describes the development and testing of a multipurpose educational exercise. The in-class exercise teaches the students Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and social constructivism while practicing necessary social work skills. Students use the exercise to focus on course-learning objectives as stated in the syllabus, thus increasing their understanding of them. Students rated the exercise as being effective, and most of them recommended it be kept as part of the course. Instructors also benefit from learning about student perceptions regarding the course objectives, which is helpful when revising the course syllabus.

Authors: Unrau Yvonne A. , Wehrmann Kathryn Conley
Published: June 2018

Academic and practitioner child welfare experts in Illinois were surveyed regarding BSW curricula content for preparing students for competent child welfare practice. Findings suggest that academics and practitioners were closer than they were divided on issues of undergraduate educational preparation for child welfare practice. Similarities and dissimilarities between the two expert groups raise questions, as well as provide an empirical starting point for developing university-agency partnerships in child welfare education and training.
Academic Advising: Strengthening Opportunities for Education
Authors: Moore Linda S. , Dietz Tracy J. , Wallace Gail L.
Published: June 2018

This article discusses advising as a responsibility of social work educators, including the CSWE mandate that advisors be knowledgeable about their programs and be able to provide more than simply course selection. It provides a framework for advising and strategies for developing effective advisement programs in social work programs. It also includes discussion about issues faced in universities where advisement is not always rewarded.
ANONYMITY IN ELECTRONIC DISCUSSION GROUPS: EFFECT ON DIVERSITY DISCUSSION*
Authors: EDWARDS SHERRY L. , HUFF MARIE THIELKE
Published: June 2018

This article explores the use of an electronic FORUM in a social work diversity class as a way to increase and enhance outside discussions related to contemporary diversity issues. A total of 45 students from two different BSW programs participated in the FORUM. Students were encouraged to remain anonymous during the discussions to enhance the opportunity for honest dialogue. A five-point Likert scale was developed to measure students' perceptions about whether or not their participation in the FORUM was personally beneficial and how anonymity affected their responses. Overall, students felt positive about their experience with the electronic FORUM, and appreciated being able to express their opinions openly without fear of reprisal. They also reported an increased awareness about other cultures, customs, and beliefs.
Demonstrating Excellence Through Assessment: Measuring Students' Knowledge, Values, and Skills
Authors: Anderson Debra K. , Harris Barbara
Published: June 2018

Excellence in social work education is partially measured by the degree to which assessment models support program uniqueness, foster micro and macro learning, and link mission, goals, and objectives to student outcomes. This article describes an integrated assessment model developed by a small undergraduate social work program that focused on incorporating these characteristics of excellence into student-focused assessments. A modified portfolio approach culminating in a senior research colloquium was chosen because it not only supports student growth and development, but also provides a forum for internal and external reviewers to objectively evaluate student performance. The strengths and limitations of this assessment model for students, faculty, advisory members, and undergraduate social work programs, are identified.
Role Conflicts of BSW Students and Instructors in Experiential Learning: Lessons From a Case Study
Authors: Vanderwoerd James R. , Muthengi Eunice N. , Muilenburg Jill
Published: June 2018

Experiential learning is an important component of social work education. However, experiential learning contexts often place both students and instructors into multiple, conflicting roles. This paper uses a case study methodology to explore role conflicts experienced by BSW students and an instructor involved in a community change effort on behalf of minority residents in a rural Midwest town. This case suggests that, despite some risks, role conflicts in experiential learning make a positive contribution to social work education. Rather than avoiding or minimizing role conflicts, educators should incorporate these conflicts intentionally but cautiously into the learning experience.

Authors: Bush Irene R.
Published: June 2018

This article presents five competencies—Informational Intellectual Intrapersonal, Interpersonal and Interventional—essential to acquiring knowledge, attitudes, and skills for empowerment practice. It provides readers with tools to help students and practitioners explore their personal and professional beliefs, values, and convictions about difference, tolerance, and oppression within a cultural competency framework.
The Professional Socialization of Undergraduate Social Work Students
Authors: Barretti Marietta
Published: June 2018

This article compares the early interest in social work students' professional development to the early professional socialization studies in allied professions. Disparity is noted between the early holistic inquiries in other disciplines and social work's predominantly narrow empirical focus on only one dimension of professional socialization—value acquisition. The author also reports the findings of a grounded case study exploring the process of professional socialization and the influence of role models, as experienced by undergraduate social work students. Data construct a process of six phases spanning from “expectation” to “affirmation” with regard to differential experiences based on gender, race, and age. Implications for further research and professional education are noted.

Authors: Sasivannan Anbarasu , Ponnusamy Shanthi , Kannan Iyanar
Published: June 2018

Background: Abdominal pain was the third most common complaint of individuals often recurrent and needs immediate care. The ability of the method to access and inspect the entire abdominal cavity and retro-peritoneum without harming the structures of it places laparoscopy as the procedure of choice in the diagnosis of abdominal pain.Methods: The study is a retrospective study conducted in Tagore Medical College and Hospital, Chennai during the period of 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2017. Patients of age above 18 years with history of abdominal pain for 6 months or more were included in the study. Basic investigations were also done for the patient. Based on the clinical examinations, patients were subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy. All cases were done as elective surgeries.Results: A total of 48 patients were found in the record, in which the diagnosis remained uncertain despite of all important investigations. The majority of the patients 19 (40%) were in the age group of 21-40 years followed by 17 (36%) in 41-65 years. The duration of pain ranged between 6 months to 1 years. On laparoscopic examination, majority of patients (46%) were diagnosed with chronic appendicitis.Conclusions: Laparoscopy is not only safe, but also quick and effective investigation tool for chronic abdominal pain.

Authors: D. Wasim M. , Pasha Azeez , Rao U. Vasudeva , Reddy Venkatesh , Rai Sai Shruthi , Shampur Sanjitha
Published: June 2018

Background: The true incidence of varicose veins in our country is not known as majority of patients with mild to moderate varicosities do not report to the physicians and only patients with complication like eczema, ulceration and bleeding are seen in clinics and hospitals. The search for a more effective means of prevention and for the perfect cure for this common condition continues. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility of Endovenous laser therapy with foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins with SFJ/SPJ incompetence.Methods: Out of two hundred and fifty (n = 250), the most common age group was between 31-40 years. 68% were females. Left limb was more affected. The patients presented with varied symptoms, out of which painless dilated and tortuous veins was most common. Long Saphenous system was the most common venous system affected by varicosity. The median operating time for one system was 35 mins. Visual analog scale for pain (VAS) was median 1 at 24 hours. 25 patients had pain for 2 weeks, 30 patients had ecchymosis, 45 patients had neuralgia, 35 patients had pain, none of the patients had skin burns and one (1) patient developed DVT. Mean hospital stay was 1 day. Follow up at 3 months showed, no pain and no scar.Results: In this retrospective study, we found that incidence of colorectal carcinoma is more between 40-60 years of age with male predominance; lymph node metastasis is more than metastasis in any other sites. CT scan can diagnose lymphatic metastasis and infiltration in surrounding tissue more accurately. Percentage of sphincter saving procedure were low in rectal malignancies in our study.Conclusions: At present, endovenous laser ablation with Foam Sclerotherapy of both the GSV and SSV shows considerable promise in the treatment of varicose veins. Avulsion is not required. The advantages of this procedure include ease, safety, cosmesis and durability.

Authors: Alluaibi Abutalib B. , Hassan Bahaa K. , Ali Alaa H. , Muhsen Ahmed A.
Published: June 2018

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become a standard technique for gall bladder surgery of symptomatic cholelithiasis. However, conversion to open cholecystectomy is sometimes necessary. The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive factors that increase the possibility of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy.Methods: A total of 621 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were attempted at AL-Mawanee General Hospital and AL-Sader Teaching Hospital in Basrah, IRAQ from June 2012 till June 2016.Of these,43 had to be converted to open cholecystectomies. Patients assessed according to different factors, including age, sex, acute cholecystitis, adhesions of gallbladder and calot's triangle, obesity, previous abdominal surgery, anatomical variation of gallbladder and Calot's triangle and intraoperative complications (bleeding, bile duct injury, visceral injury).Results: Conversion to open cholecystectomy was performed in 43 patients (6.92%). The significant factors for conversions were adhesions of gallbladder and Calot's triangle(39.53%) followed by acute cholecystitis(34.88%). Rate of conversion in other factors are as the following i.e., isolated male gender (0%), age (0%), previous abdominal surgery (9.3%), obesity (2.33%), anatomical variations of gall bladder and calot's triangle (2.33%), intra operative complications including bleeding (4.65%), bile duct injury (4.65%), visceral injury (2.33%) were insignificant factors for conversion.Conclusions: Adhesions of gallbladder and calot's triangle is the most common predictive factor and cause for conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy. Acute cholecystitis found to be the strongest factor for conversion despite its incidence is lower than adhesions of gall bladder and calots triangle. Male gender and age more than fifty years are not direct predictive factors for conversions.
Clinical spectrum and outcome of paraquat poisoning in a tertiary care teaching hospital
Authors: B. R. Halesha , K. Venugopal
Published: June 2018

Background: Paraquat is most common insecticide compound used for suicidal consumption in rural part of the Karnataka next to organo-phosphorous compound. It produces various local and systemic manifestations in the early course. It is very notorious to cause multi-organ dysfunction and mortality within 24 hours in severe amount of consumption. Lack of specific antidote and high-quality evidence based medicine makes the management of paraquat poisoning challenging. Hence, we took up the study to evaluate the clinical features, course and management option for the poisoning.Methods: It is an observational study conducted at HIMS, Hassan. History was collected from patient and bystanders. Clinical features, laboratory parameters were noted regularly and frequently. Patient’s complications were identified initially and treated accordingly. All the data collected were tabulated and statistically analysed.Results: Out of 110 patients, 72 were females and 38 were males; most of them were in the age group of 30-40 years. Mild poisoning was noted in 30, moderate in 56 and 24 patients were severe. Most common symptom was nausea and signs were oral cavity ulcers followed by tachycardia and tachypnoea. The overall mortality was 72%, 18% were recovered fully and 10% patients left against medical advice.Conclusions: Since there is a lack of antidote management of paraquat is challenging. Early gastric lavage, aggressive fluids, IV methyl prednisolone and N-Acetyl-Cysteine is beneficial.
O Statutory Reversal como possibilidade de interpretação dialética das Constituições Federais
Authors: Silva Tatiana Mareto , Coura Alexandre De Castro
Published: June 2018

Desde o reconhecimento da universalidade dos Direitos Humanos, da inserção de normas de natureza material nas constituições mundiais e da criação de cortes constitucionais para controlar a atuação dos poderes Executivo e Legislativo, os países ocidentais vêm vivenciando um crescente ativismo dessas cortes e uma participação ativa do Judiciário na atribuição de sentido às constituições contemporâneas. Esse fenômeno, possibilitado pela autorização do judicial review, é defendido pelos constitucionalistas que entendem a irreversibilidade da judicialização e a relevância do papel jurisdicional para a efetivação de direitos fundamentais, mas criticado por aqueles que temem que o excesso de poder nas mãos dos juízes viole preceitos básicos da democracia ocidental e leve a uma supremacia judicial. A atuação jurisdicional para a interpretação da Constituição possibilita o diálogo entre poderes para que o significado da norma constitucional seja o mais condizente com a opinião popular e com a garantia dos direitos fundamentais positivados – o que também é a vontade do povo. Como viabilização desse diálogo, o statutory reversal se mostra uma das mais expressivas formas de diálogo entre os poderes, uma vez representar a superação legislativa das decisões judiciais. Nesse sentido, deve ser encarado como uma modalidade de diálogo constitucional em que o poder representativo encontre formas de dizer ao Judiciário que sua decisão de invalidade está superada ou em desconforme com a opinião popular, o que poderia levar os juízes a uma revisão de seu próprio entendimento sobre a interpretação constitucional.
Crise de representatividade e Neopopulismo: uma regressão aos direitos humanos
Authors: Santos Igor
Published: June 2018

O surgimento do Estado Moderno e da democracia enquanto forma de governo modificou a relação entre soberanos e súditos em todo o mundo ocidental. Porém, mesmo na democracia representativa é nítida a existência de uma elite política, que se mantém no poder após diversos períodos eleitorais. Através de uma metodologia indutiva, utilizando-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica-documental, foi possível compreender como funciona uma das estratégias dessa elite para se manter no poder, principalmente após a redemocratização: o populismo. A pergunta que este trabalho pretende responder é: o neopopulismo consiste em um risco para os direitos humanos? Conclui-se que estas estratégias para manutenção do poder político levam, senão a um recrudescimento, ao menos a uma limitação dos direitos humanos e sua compreensão jurídica.

Published: June 2018

Investigar o conceito de condição humana e sua identidade política e jurídica no pensamento de Hannah Arendt e Amartya Sen é o principal objetivo deste artigo. Entendemos que o valor da pessoa se fortalece na inserção ativa nas sociedades democráticas. A condição de agente sedimenta a maturidade social, a estabilidade política e os compromissos orientados para a justiça social. Com igual intensidade, a vida do homem, enquanto condição humana é uma vida de ação e discurso que se realiza entre os demais, na polis. Em meio à pluralidade cada sujeito faz surgir e construir coisas novas. O método de investigação é o indutivo, a técnica de pesquisa é a bibliográfica e a categoria é o conceito de pessoa. O homem, na condição de agente ativo é protagonista de sua história junto à comunidade. HOMMO POLITICUS:  A condição humana e o agir político segundo Hannah Arendt e Amartya Sen
La cadena agroalimentaria como contenido del derecho agrario contemporáneo
Authors: Victória Maria Adriana
Published: June 2018

Atualmente, o direito agrário tem um novo desafio: permitir a realização da segurança alimentar, cada vez mais ligada às quantidades de produção de alimentos, mas também, as suas qualidades. O trabalho levanta quais são as orientações contemporâneas do direito agrário que prioriza dados econômicos antes das demandas de Segurança Alimentar. Para tanto, analisa-se o fenômeno agroalimentar e os mercados, bem como a empresa e a cadeia agroalimentar, à luz do direito da Comunidade Europeia. Conclui-se afirmando que o direito agrário não pode mais ser um direito unido apenas para fornecer soluções aos problemas da terra e do produtor ou empresário agrário. Será necessário se concentrar no ciclo biológico, complementado pelo fenômeno dos mercados, nos impactos da atividade agrícola no meio ambiente e no desenvolvimento humano: elos que levam à formulação legal da cadeia agroalimentar. É preciso saber lidar com os impactos da internacionalização, da integração, regionalização, intersetorialidade, interdisciplinaridade, solidariedade, concertação. Como metas a serem atingidas, emergem a qualidade agroalimentar e agroambiental, à luz dos direitos humanos fundamentais, a proteção do meio ambiente, a busca do desenvolvimento sustentável e a promoção da qualidade de vida dos consumidores. Eis aqui uma extensão possível dos propósitos do direito agrário, que traz consigo as novas orientações da disciplina.

Wykorzystanie kryminalistycznych baz danych przez policyjne Archiwa X
Authors: Moszczyński Jarosław
Published: June 2018

Policyjne Zespoły ds. Przestępstw Niewykrytych, zwane potocznie Archiwami X, funkcjonują w ramach komend wojewódzkich policji. Skupiając najbardziej doświadczonych funkcjonariuszy, zajmują się najpoważniejszymi przestępstwami sprzed lat, głównie zabójstwami, których sprawców nie udało się dotychczas wykryć. Kilkuosobowe zespoły dokonują wnikliwej analizy akt niewykrytych przestępstw, docierają do źródeł informacji i wykorzystują najnowsze osiągnięcia kryminalistyki. Szczególnie przydatne są dwie bazy danych: system AFIS oraz baza DNA. Z tego względu właśnie im poświęcono większość tego opracowania.
Podjęcie i wznowienie postępowania jako sposób powrotu do zakończonych postępowań w wyniku czynności wykrywczych podejmowanych przez policyjne Archiwa X
Authors: Kurowski Michał
Published: June 2018

Instytucja wznowienia i podjęcia umorzonego postępowania przygotowawczego mają kluczowe znaczenie w zakresie możliwości powrotu do zakończonego postępowania karnego. Zasady postępowania karnego, decydujące o sposobie jego prowadzenia, w pewnych stanach faktycznych wymuszają zakończenie postępowania na danym etapie. Czasami wynika to z pojawienia się względnej, a więc usuwalnej negatywnej przesłanki procesowej, czasami zaś z niemożności wykrycia sprawców przestępstwa. Kluczowe jest zatem ustalenie, jakie są warunki powrotu do zakończonego postępowania przygotowawczego. Czy jest to możliwe? Jaki jest zakres czasowy możliwej do podjęcia decyzji? W niniejszym artykule zostaje udzielona odpowiedź na te pytania. Skoncentrowano się przy tym na procesowych warunkach dopuszczalności powrotu do postępowania karnego. Omówiono zasady dotyczące wznowienia i podjęcia umorzonego postępowania w zależności od momentu jego zakończenia, a także organy uprawnione do działania, warunki działania prokuratora, rolę i miejsce Policji w systemie podejmowania decyzji. Powyższe elementy stanowią próbę umiejscowienia tych instytucji szczególnych w systemie ujawniania starych zbrodni popełnionych przez nieujawnionych sprawców.
Odzyskiwanie skradzionych dóbr kultury po latach od ich kradzieży
Authors: Grajewski Adam
Published: June 2018

W obecnych czasach popyt na dzieła sztuki i zabytki gwałtownie wzrasta, jednak liczba samych zabytków i dzieł sztuki nie zwiększa się wraz z tym popytem. Kradzież dzieła sztuki lub zabytku nie skutkuje utratą jego wartości, wręcz przeciwnie – wieloletnie przechowywanie powoduje dalszy wzrost jego wartości. Z tego względu dzieła sztuki i zabytki stanowią kuszący przedmiot przestępstwa. Sytuacja ta została dostrzeżona przez grupy przestępcze, które znają i wykorzystują potrzeby rynku kolekcjonerskiego. W latach 90. odnotowano wiele włamań do obiektów sakralnych, muzeów i domów prywatnych, w trakcie których przedmiotem przestępstwa były głównie dzieła sztuki. Obecnie można zaobserwować, że skradzione w tamtych latach zabytki coraz częściej pokazują się na rynku sztuki.

The aim of this investigation was to utilize drynuts in milk to make a Sheerqurma by standardizing a percent of sugar by treatment T0 (27.5%), T1(10%), T2 (15%) and T3 (20%). The Sheerqurma was prepared by standardized processing parameter and subjected to sensory analysis using 9 point Hedonic scale and physicochemical parameter. Based on sensory analysis and physicochemical parameter, treatment T2 containing 15% sugar obtained the highest sensory score. It was revealed from the results that there is gradual increase in acidity, specific gravity, density, T.S.S, total solid as percent of khoa or sugar increased where pH and moisture was decreased. A standardized 100 ml Sheerqurma found energy value about 310.83 K.Cal. and production cost of 1 litre was calculated as Rs. 98.90 Hence, the process of preparation of Sheerqurma being techno-economically feasible, justifies the suitability for commercial exploitation.
Fats and oils: The health concerns and issues- A review
Authors: Singh Ravinder Jeet
Published: June 2018

Hydrogenated vegetable oils became popular for cooking in 1950s. Soon it became established that eating food cooked in hydrogenated oils (trans fats) could be the risk factors for cardio vascular diseases. Refined oils were recommended for cooking. It was believed that refined oils are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA or omega-6) and will help maintain low cholesterol levels. Further research proved that omega-6 rich diet reduced HDL(High density lipoprotein) as well as LDL (low density lipoprotein). World health organization recommended that we should increase omega-3 i.e. poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). PUFA help in keeping healthy HDL/LDL ratio. A number of reports also suggested that natural saturated fatty acids (nSFA) were not risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). In this mini review an account of developments concerning these issues has been presented.

The present investigation was carried out during 2015 – 2017, where 22 lentil genotypes grown under bio inoculation treated and non treated conditions in multi location for two consecutive seasons, in order to identify bio inoculants responsive and suitable varieties. The trial was conducted in two district of West Bengal i.e. Malda and Coochbehar. The results indicated that genotypes responded differentially to bio inoculants. Six genotypes ILL-2-8, PL-406, Subrata, ILL-2-14, L-4076 and ILL-10951 performed well with higher inoculation efficiency. There was a positive relation between inoculation efficiency and change in harvest index due to bio inoculation and a negative relationship was found between percent incremental dry matter accumulated in the shoot and change in harvest index due to bio-inoculation. Five lentil genotypes which are responsive to bio inoculants were selected and its assessment was done in order to select the most suitable genotypes in specific environments. From the results, it was evident that significant differences were found among 5 lentil genotypes. In Coochbehar district the highest yield was recorded in K 75 (1.83t/ha). In Malda district, the same variety yielded significantly higher than all other varieties with 2.47 t/ha. Out of the selected varieties for multilocational trial, which performed better than the popular variety Maitree with a potential yield of 1.16 and 1.76 t/ha in Coochbehar and Malda tested under different projects, K-75 and BM-6 may be selected for further exploitation in the region with good adaptability and yield potential.

Fifteen pigeonpea genotypes were selected to establish the role of seed-Zn content in maintaining seed longevity of pigeonpea genotypes. The present study revealed clear genotypic variability with respect to storability among different pigeonpea genotypes. The genotype with highest seed-Zn content (30.81 ppm) proved as good storer by recording highest seed quality parameters viz., seed germination (84.57 %), seedling length (27.67 cm), seedling vigour index (1303), speed of germination (23.29 %), dehydrogenase enzyme activity (0.551 OD value), a-amylase activity (28.46 mm) with lowest electrical conductivity (1.04 µS/cm) and moisture content (7.29 %) at the end of twelve months of storage period. Whereas, genotypes with low seed-Zn content showed lowest seed quality parameters.

Field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2010 and 2011, to assess the residual influence of organic manures and micro nutrients applied to potato on growth and yield of succeeding green gram in an organic cropping system, under alluvial soil. The different sources of organic and micronutrients were integrated into 8 possible treatments viz. recommended dose of fertilizer-RDF (NPK @ 200 :150 :150 kg ha-1) , 50% of RDF + well decomposed FYM @ 10t ha-1, 50% of RDF + Neemcake @ 0.5t ha-1,RDF+ Zinc sulphate @ 20kg ha-1 as soil application, RDF + ammonium molybdate @ 1kg ha-1 as soil application, RDF + Sodium tetraborate @ 1kg ha-1 as soil application, RDF + Tuber soaking with 40g zinc sulphate + 10g ammonium molybdate + 10g sodium tetraborate, RDF + foliar spray of 1% KNO3 salt. After harvesting the main crop, green gram was raised as a residual crop on the same field without any alternation. During both the years of investigation, all the growth and yield attributes, yield (seed as well as haulm), of green gram were at their best with the residual effect of organic manure either with or without the use of chemical fertilizers. Growth, grain and haulm yields of green gram were significantly increased by the residual effect of organic manure and micro nutrients applied to the previous crop. Application of organic manure at the rate of 50% RDF + 10t FYM ha-1, recorded highest grain and haulm yields of 952.05 and 2638.85 kg ha-1 respectively. Though residual effect of micro nutrients has significant effect on growth, grain and stover yield of succeeding Green gram, the yield are reduced drastically.
