Examining the Treatment of African American Female Students in Urban Schools
Authors: Annarella Madelyn , Crump Autumn , Dotson Robinette , Martin Dr. Don , Martin Dr. Magy
Published: March 2020

This research project examined whether African American female students are being targeted with unfair treatment, disciplinary actions, and cultural misunderstandings. We explored the social, cultural, and emotional factors associated with being from an African American background and how it impacts their feelings and thoughts about school. The study involved African American female students in grades 9-12 in an urban Early College high school and a Traditional high school. The results indicated that African American female students believed they were treated as older and sexually more mature than Caucasian female students. The suspension and disciplinary rates of the African American female students were abnormally higher than the Caucasian female students in the Traditional High School as compared to students in the Early College.
‘Who Speaks?’ Morgenthaler and/or Lacan Behind the Couch
Authors: Körbitz Ulrike
Published: March 2020

Is it possible to speak of conceptual conjunctions between Fritz Morgenthaler and Jacques Lacan? This question is explored in relation to the practical work of an analyst as she engages with their – at once completely different and yet complementary – theoretical perspectives. Both emphasize the active, demanding-desiring position of the analyst while simultaneously refusing any metapsychologically oriented interpretive technique. Both criticize the normative, denigrating impetus of too much psychoanalytic thinking, especially in the context of developmental psychology and pathologizing doctrine. They warn against too-certain knowledge on the analyst's part. Both emphasize primary-process drive-strivings and the emancipatory possibilities of psychoanalysis – as they both also attend particularly to the formal aspects of the analysand's speech.
Luigi Russo: l’unità di scienza e vita
Authors: Manganaro Andrea
Published: March 2020

Nella sua attività di storico e critico Luigi Russo considerò la letteratura non nella prospettiva circoscritto sapere disciplinare, ma tese sempre a correlarla ad aspetti più ampi del reale, della storia, a “fare storia” più che a “saper leggere”, a connettere sempre “scienza” e “vita”, teoria e prassi, studio e valori etico-politici, secondo l’insegnamento di Francesco De Sanctis, enunciato nella straordinaria omonima prolusione napoletana del 1872, da Russo interpretata nella monografia Francesco De Sanctis e la cultura napoletana del 1928. L’opera di Luigi Russo, antiautoritaria, antidemagogica, antidittatoriale, può ancora essere punto di riferimento per coloro a cui stanno a cuore, insieme, i valori della cultura e della polis.
Fortuna e traduzione delle opere letterarie italiane in Ungheria
Authors: Sárközy Péter
Published: March 2020

La critica letteraria, sia in Ungheria che in Italia, ha prestato grande attenzione alla fortuna e all'irradiazione della letteratura italiana in Ungheria, basti pensare ai tredici volumi, frutto della collaborazione scientifica della Fondazione Giorgi Cini di Venezia e dell'Accademia ungherese delle scienze. L'articolo mira a offrire un'ampia panoramica del successo della letteratura italiana in Ungheria, soprattutto attraverso le traduzioni. L'articolo esamina i vari periodi storici e i movimenti letterari che hanno caratterizzato i contatti letterari tra i due paesi. Fino alla seconda metà del XVIII secolo, l'irradiazione della letteratura italiana si manifestava innanzitutto nell'adozione dei suoi modelli letterari e delle sue formule poetiche nelle opere dei maggiori autori della letteratura ungherese. Il diciannovesimo secolo vide invece la stagione della traduzione dei grandi classici della prima letteratura italiana (Dante, Petrarca e Boccaccio) tradotti di nuovo nel ventesimo secolo, grazie anche all'impegno degli italiani magiari. Infine, l'articolo si concentra sulla situazione attuale, descrivendo le traduzioni di autori contemporanei.
Restare o partire? Sulle rappresentazioni non stereotipate di Napoli
Authors: Sciacovelli Antonio
Published: March 2020

L'immagine letteraria di Napoli, "Capitale del Sud", che vede periodiche alternanze di crisi e splendore nelle arti, è sicuramente dicotomica: da un lato il locus amoenus in cui fiorisce l'inventiva e diverse tradizioni culturali si intersecano e convivono; dall'altro, il luogo simbolico di immense disparità sociali, uno scoppio di epidemie e la culla di una mentalità rilassata e reazionaria. L'immagine usata da Benedetto Croce per definire la città, "un paradiso abitato dai diavoli", risale al Medioevo, e viene negata di volta in volta dagli autori che intendono costruire un mito positivo di napoletanità, ma già agli inizi 20° secolo, e quindi soprattutto nel periodo dal 1943 (ai giorni nostri), ci sono accenti sempre più critici nei confronti di questa immagine, che risultano - più che nell'odio o nel disprezzo per la città e i suoi abitanti - nella tendenza ad allontanarsi da Napoli, per abbandonare una realtà contraddittoria che non risolve i suoi problemi, ma come una foresta vergine ricresce distruggendo ogni elemento del progresso. Gli autori esaminati nell'articolo sono: Carlo Bernari, Anna Maria Ortese, Raffaele La Capria, Fabrizia Ramondino, Ermanno Rea, Giuseppe Montesano, Elena Ferrante.
Pepe-Lamartine Una polemica letteraria e un duello per il Risorgimento
Authors: Paolini Gabriele
Published: March 2020

Il saggio ricostruisce le reazioni  provocate a Firenze dalla pubblicazione di Le dernier chant du pelerinage d’Harold di Alphonse de Lamartine (1825), ispirato all'opera incompiuta di Lord Byron. Il ritratto dell'assoluta decadenza dell'Italia contemporanea, con la definizione dei suoi abitanti di "polvere d'uomini", indignò gli intellettuali, che avrebbero voluto rispondere nell'Antologia di Vieusseux, il periodico più importante dell'epoca. Pietro Giordani intendeva anche rispondere a Lamartine pubblicando un saggio sulle Operette Morali del giovane (e ancora sconosciuto) Giacomo Leopardi, interpretato come un grande e vivente italiano. La censura ha impedito questa e altre risposte, ma non un aspro riferimento contenuto in un opuscolo dell'esiliiato napoletano Gabriele Pepe.  Ferito nell'orgoglio, Lamartine (all'epoca responsabile dell'ambasciata francese a Firenze) sfidò Pepe a duello. La vittoria di Pepe suscitò un grande entusiasmo a Firenze e in tutta Italia. Il tema dell'onore offeso e vendicato con una prova di valore divenne una costante e fu imitato molte altre volte, nella realtà e nella letteratura, alimentando l'immaginazione di diverse generazioni.
Emotional Competence of Adolescents from Underprivileged Socio-Economic Background
Authors: Sethi Ms. Sanjoni
Published: March 2020

Although underprivileged groups are considered at disadvantage for capital, facilities, and utilities; very few Indian studies have made an attempt to study emotional competence as an outcome of residing in poor geographic location. The purpose of study is to understand emotional competence in adolescents of lower socio economic background. This is achieved by exploring emotional aspects of personality, emotional triggers, skills to regulate emotions and coping mechanisms. Semi-structured interviews as part of body map, a qualitative tool was carried out with six adolescents from underprivileged background. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze transcripts along with body maps of participants. Overall, research findings reveal that location does effect emotional competence in adolescents. Further, emotional competence is not age appropriate suggesting clinical implications for adolescents from underprivileged background.
Cooperativity of Three Fragments : Protonated or Methylated Makaluvamine, Water Molecule and Glutamic Acid Molecule in Twelve Complexes and their Stabilities. A Study Performed at B3LYP/6-31+G(D,P) Level
Authors: Koné Soleymane , Diomandé Sékou , Bamba El-Hadji Sawaliho
Published: March 2020

Makaluvamines are used by intercalation in the DNA for the treatment of cancer cells such as colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer.... This work studies energetic and geometrical parameters of stability of the 3-body complexes formed by six Makaluvamines, first protonated and then methylated by interactions with a water molecule and a glutamic acid molecule (Glu. Ac), a protein residue of topoisomerase II. This study was carried out by the quantum chemistry method of density functional theory (DFT). Firstly, we determined the energy of each super-molecule, the energies of all units of two fragments and one fragment in the geometries of the complexes. We have also determined the energies of 2-body and 3-body interaction, cooperativity, relaxation and total interaction. The results of these calculations helped to appreciate the rigidity of each fragment between the isolated and complex states. They also allowed knowing the stability of each complex and the contribution of each interaction term to this stability.
Effect of Rust (Uromyces Phaseoli Var. Vignae) Infection on Photosynthetic Efficiency, Growth and Yield Potentials of Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp) in an Open Field System
Authors: Tagoe S. M. A. , Mensah T. A. , Asare A. T.
Published: March 2020

Cowpea rust fungus affects photosynthetic rate and physiological performance of the host plant through the induction of structural changes in the host cell. The study assessed the effects of rust fungus onnet photosynthetic efficiency and yield performance of cowpea genotypes under field conditions. The experiment was conducted in the minor cropping season following a randomized complete block design outlay with three replications. Chlorophyll fluorescence of healthy leaves and rust-infected leaves of each cowpea genotype was determined by a non-destructive method.Rust disease severities of the infected leaves were assessed based ona diagrammatic scale. The effect of rust on the net photosynthetic rate was quantified by the model Px / Po = (1 – x)β. Growth and yieldtraits of the cowpea genotypes and correlation between seed yield and photosynthetic efficiency were determined. The cowpea genotypes responded differently to rust infection as expressed in net photosynthetic rates,growth, and yield. The pathogen impaired photosynthetic efficiency of leaf tissue beyond the observed diseased leaf area. Seed yield was more closely related to the βestimate than that observed for the relative net photosynthetic rate.

El templo de la patria en el Cerrito de la Victoria de Montevideo (Uruguay) y la devoción del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Desafíos de la Iglesia Católica separada, 1919-1928
Authors: Greising Carolina
Published: March 2020

El presente trabajo pretende abordar el estudio de la devoción del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús como parte del proyecto nacional, impulsado por las nuevas jerarquías eclesiásticas una vez separada constitucionalmente la Iglesia del Estado. Dicha devoción revisitó el carácter de expiatoria en un estado que devino laico. Las prácticas religiosas populares que se generaron en su entrono y en el del Santuario Nacional del Cerrito de la Victoria (construido para dicho fin), incrementadas desde la llegada a la parroquia de los P.P. Sacramentinos en 1927, constituyen un escenario privilegiado para explorar las articulaciones entre los lineamientos impuestos por la jerarquía en su plan de acción y la identificación con éstos por parte de una feligresía que, desde la óptica secularista, había sido llamada a manifestar su fe exclusivamente en el ámbito de la vida privada.Palabras claves: Iglesia Católica; Sagrado Corazón; Secularización, Laicidad.
Iudaei et Iudaei baptizati en la ley de los visigodos

Published: March 2020

La decisión de Sisebuto de convertir forzosamente a los judíos, en una fecha cercana al 616 d.C., conformó un nuevo e intrincado mapa identitario en la sociedad visigoda. La definición de la pertenencia religiosa se volvería, así, un aspecto recurrente en la legislación hispana del siglo VII.En este trabajo, nos proponemos revisitar, por una parte, el problema que la polisemia del término Iudaeus genera al momento de realizar un análisis histórico a partir de la normativa visigoda. Por otra parte, analizaremos la mentada legislación, con el fin de delimitar las posibilidades de recuperar el contexto social y religioso en el que fue producida.Palabras clave: Judíos; cristianos; visigodos; Ley Visigoda; conversión
La construcción del modelo de mujer cristiano en la Tardoantigüedad y la Alta Edad Media
Authors: Veraldi Patricia
Published: March 2020

El modelo de mujer no ha sido siempre el mismo. En este artículo se pretende realizar un breve recorrido sobre la construcción de ese modelo durante el período el primer cristianismo y de la consolidación de la Iglesia como institución. De esta manera se abarcarán los períodos denominados comúnmente Antigüedad Tardía y Alta Edad Media, con el objetivo de conocer cómo el cristianismo católico romano condicionó e influyó en este proceso. La manera de entender el rol de la mujer en la sociedad cristiana de estos períodos afectó sin duda la relación entre los géneros así como la concepción de matrimonio y sexualidad. Asimismo, la participación de las mujeres en la liturgia y vida política fue condicionada por el lugar que ellas debían ocupar en la sociedad de entonces. Palabras clave: mujer; Iglesia; cristianismo; modelo; género

La Revolución Rusa en el país de los zares. Impactos y problemas
Authors: Sgrazzutti Jorge , Oliva Antonio
Published: March 2020

Existe una tentación de rememorar acontecimientos de trascendencia mundial por el mismo hecho conmemorativo, como una forma de historiar a través de las efemérides. Y el año 2017 invita a hacerlo con las Revoluciones Rusas de febrero y octubre de 1917. La realización de congresos internacionales, es otra muestra de lo que se va a producir este año en cuanto a la problemática de debate, actualización e intercambio de ideas, tanto desde la perspectiva historiográfica como posiblemente también en la profundización de algunas líneas de análisis que aún no han sido lo suficientemente abordadas o la puesta en tensión de algunas otras que se han dado por cristalizadas, pero que sin embargo deberán ser revisadas.Así con el aniversario en marcha y con la realización del Congreso Internacional a 100 años de la Revolución Rusa en Rosario buscamos poner en debate el estudio del proceso revolucionario ruso, o tal vez contribuir al inicio de una posible revisión necesaria del mismo.
La revolución rusa y el comunismo en Cataluña
Authors: Martín Ramos José Luis
Published: March 2020

La revolución rusa impactó en la sociedad española de manera contradictoria. En la socialdemocracia y la izquierda republicana su interpretación se hizo a la luz de la aliadofilia y del temor a que la paz por separado con los imperios centrales debilitara la causa del bando de la Entente; de esa interpretación se apartó el anarcosindicalismo que vio en ella principalmente la causa de la revolución. Acabada la guerra ésta fue el principal argumento de apoyo o rechazo, que se concretó en el debate sobre la afiliación a la Tercera Internacional. En Cataluña el comunismo tuvo una muy escasa procedencia de la socialdemocracia española y se nutrió de la adhesión de sectores procedentes del anarcosindicalismo; hasta que a finales de los años veinte se le sumó una parte del nacionalismo radical, que dio al comunismo catalán una singularidad particular.Palabras clave: revolución rusa, socialismo, anarcosindicalismo, comunismo, Cataluña
The Early Developments of Black Women’s Studies in the Lives of Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Audre Lorde
Authors: Tomas Reed Conor
Published: March 2020

This article explores the pedagogical foundations of three U.S. Black women writers—Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Audre Lorde—widely recognized as among the most influential and prolific writers of 20th century cultures of emancipation. Their distinct yet entwined legacies—as socialist feminists, people’s poets and novelists, community organizers, and innovative educators—altered the landscapes of multiple liberation movements from the late 1960s to the present, and offer a striking example of the possibilities of radical women’s intellectual friendships. The internationalist reverberations of Bambara, Jordan, and Lorde are alive and ubiquitous, even if to some readers today in the Caribbean and Latin America, their names may be unfamiliar.[Bambara’s fiction centered Black and Third World women and children absorbing vibrant life lessons within societies structured to harm them. Her 1980 novel, The Salt Eaters, posed the question - “are you sure, sweetheart, that you want to be well?” -to conjoin healing and resistance for a new embattled generation under President Reagan’s neoliberal shock doctrines that were felt worldwide. June Jordan’s salvos of essays, fiction, and poetry -including Things That I Do in the Dark, On Call, and Affirmative Acts - intervened in struggles around Black English, community control, police violence, sexual assault, and youth empowerment. Audre Lorde’s words are suffused across U.S. movements (and, increasingly, in the Caribbean and Latin America)- on signs, shirts, and memes, at #BlackLivesMatter and International Women’s Strike marches. Your silence will not protect you. The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. Revolution is not a one-time event. However, her voluminous legacy may risk becoming a series of slogans, “the Audre Lorde that reads like a bumper sticker.”
Identidades del desierto. Los efectos de la colonización española en la identidad saharaui
Authors: Di Buono Fabrizio
Published: March 2020

A partir de una perspectiva poscolonial analizaremos la actual condición saharaui en el contexto del exilio, migración y en los territorios ocupados del Sahara Occidental, poniendo el foco de atención en el ordenamiento simbólico impuesto por la colonización española y la influencia que tendrá en los cambios producidos en la vida cotidiana de los saharauis, así como en la construcción (y cambios) en la identidad de los hijos de las nubes. En este artículo haremos un breve recorrido de cómo la creación colonial de las fronteras y la consecuente sedentarización de las poblaciones afectan el tiempo y el espacio de las poblaciones nómadas. Se verá como estos procesos están acompañados por una política racial que se manifiesta a partir de intereses económicos (en relación a los fosfatos) y de la educación que se imparte en el territorio. El resultado será la conformación de una identidad saharaui gestada entre la globalización económica y la resistencia por el reconocimiento de sus derechos.
Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz, profesor de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Rosario) (1952-1956)
Authors: Ríos Saloma Martín
Published: March 2020

En el presente trabajo se analizan los factores de orden histórico, institucional y personal que permitieron la incorporación del medievalista español Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz a la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, subrayando el hecho de que los años de docencia en la ciudad de Rosario coincidieron con un momento intelectual sumamente fecundo y con los años en los que se redactó la obra cumbre del madrileño España, un enigma histórico. En este sentido, ha sido posible reconstruir la cronología de la elaboración del libro y constatar los cercanos vínculos intelectuales de Sánchez-Albornoz con la historiografía francesa, en particular con los aportes de Fernand Braudel. Ello muestra, en última instancia, la voluntad del sexagenario profesor de mantenerse permanentemente actualizado y de participar de los grandes debates intelectuales de su tiempo.
Mujeres, sociedad y economía de la república del Paraguay
Authors: Caballero Gabriela Dalla Corte
Published: March 2020

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo abordar el rol ejercido por las familias paraguayas encabezadas por mujeres durante la reorganización del país en el periodo de entreguerras. Me refiero al momento histórico que se abre con el fin de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza contra el Paraguay, y que llega a su fin en el momento en que estalla la cruenta Guerra del Chaco, la cual fue disputada entre Paraguay y Bolivia por el control territorial de la zona occidental del país. Los documentos históricos utilizados para elaborar este artículo corresponden a los catálogos de los objetos típicos del Paraguay que su gobierno optó por exhibir públicamente su producción en diversas exposiciones universales organizadas a partir de la década de 1880, en particular la de 1882 en Buenos Aires, la de 1885 en Amberes, la de 1888 en Barcelona, y finalmente la de 1889 en París. Estas exposiciones nos permiten comprender el rol ejercido por las mujeres paraguayas a la hora de ofrecer los recursos familiares por ellas conformados.

Authors: Pina Polo Francisco
Published: March 2020

Los romanos nunca pusieron su constitución por escrito, lo que facilitó su dinamismo y flexibilidad. Tras un largo proceso de experimentación, la “constitución romana” fue el resultado final de un desarrollo que duró siglos. La “constitución” romana en época republicana se apoyaba en tres pilares: senado, magistraturas y asambleas del pueblo. La República romana fue esencialmente un régimen aristocrático con tendencias oligárquicas, aunque con una limitada pero no despreciable participación popular en la toma de decisiones.Palabras Clave: “constitución”; mos maiorum; senado; magistraturas; asambleas populares; democracia, aristocracia.

Published: March 2020

Studies pertaining to impulse buying have been substantially conducted in developing countries. Nevertheless, such studies are in scarcity amidst Asian countries, particularly Malaysia. Besides, studies that have looked into the variables of sale promotion is also rather sparsely carried out in the light of impulse buying behaviour. As such, this study examined the correlations between sale promotion on impulse buying behaviour among Muslim credit cardholders in Malaysia. In terms of instrument development, this study instrument adopted and adapted from prior studies. Questionnaires were distributed to 1,000 Muslim credit cardholders in Malaysia via purposive and snowball sampling techniques, wherein only 635 were usable for final data analysis. The analysis was performed via Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) analysis. The outcomes revealed that sale promotion displayed significant positive correlations with impulse buying behaviour.

Authors: Gambo Abdu
Published: March 2020

Issues concerning ergonomics have become central to office occupational safety and health due to the prevalence of work-related musculo-skeletal disorders which cause worker discomfort, disability, and loss of productivity. In Nigeria, upper extremities disorders such as wrist pains, pains in the upper back region, shoulder pains, ulna neuropathy, neck disorders, and eye syndrome are common epidemics among typists, secretaries, computer users and other related office jobs with negative socio-economic consequences. The purpose of this paper is to present the result of an investigation of the current office ergonomic situation of Katsina State Local Government offices in Nigeria with its implication for workers’ safety, health, and overall productivity. The methodology adopted is the qualitative strategy of inquiry using 210 questionnaires with a section having open-ended questions designed to ask respondents to speak their minds concerning the nature of ergonomic facilities of their offices, nature of office work policy (ergonomic policy) and their level of ergonomic awareness. Using thematic network analysis, the responses from that section of the questionnaire were organized into themes, patterns, and categories based on three deductive themes (ergonomic facilities, ergonomic policy, and ergonomic awareness) as key concepts in the investigation. From the analysis of the responses, it was found that the ergonomic scenario of Local Government offices in the Katsina State of Nigeria in terms of office facilities, office ergonomic (work) policy and level of ergonomic awareness are poor and that workers are exposed to the dangers of work-related musculo-skeletal disorders and other related occupational diseases. Despite the fact that the study area for this research was Local Government Offices in Katsina State, Nigeria, the findings and implications are relevant to other government offices in the country. Therefore, the conclusion of this study is that the office environment of Katsina State Local Governments in Nigeria needs to be improved for the general safety, health and overall productivity of the workers.

Cifras a nivel global indican que la comida para mascotas presenta un constante crecimiento, y esta tendencia pro- yecta ocupar un alto porcentaje del mercado de productos para animales para el año 2021. Ante la necesidad de una mayor investigación que aborde el vínculo mascota-humano desde la perspectiva del comportamiento del consumidor, así como el desconocimiento del mercado de comida orgánica para mascotas en Medellín (Colombia), esta investiga- ción cuantitativa explora la aceptación que pueden tener estos productos en dicha ciudad. También busca conocer las actitudes e intención de compra de este tipo de comida y su relación con la humanización de mascotas. A partir de una encuesta realizada en línea se captaron 150 registros de consumidores entre los 18 y los 65 años, de los niveles socioe- conómicos medio y alto (4, 5 y 6) de la ciudad de Medellín. Los hallazgos evidencian que son las mujeres quienes tienen actitudes más positivas hacia la comida orgánica para mascotas, entendiendo que actitudes más positivas hacia este tipo de alimentos se traducen en una mayor intención de compra. Respecto al nivel de humanización de las mas- cotas se encontró que no existen diferencias significativas entre los encuestados. Este estudio se posiciona y aporta dentro del entendimiento del mercado de este tipo de alimentos en la capital de Antioquia.

Seed dormancy and shattering are important traits influencing the economics of rice farming. The genetic basis of dormancy and shattering traits were investigated in 174 Backcross Inbred Lines (BILs) derived from Oryza sativa cv. Swarna and O. nivara ac. CR100008. Significant variation was observed among the BILs for dormancy and shattering traits. Dormancy of 4-40 days was observed among BILs harvested at 35 days after heading and all the BILs attained > 80% germination by 6th week. Among all the BILs, least dormancy period (4 days) was found in SN-1, 13, 23, 25 and SN-28. Highest dormancy period (40 days) was found in 4 BILs i.e., SN-108, SN-116, SN-117 and SN-122 (40 days). None of the BILs were found to have non-shattering trait, while 2 BILs (SN-38 and SN-163) showed low shattering and 18 BILs were found with very high grain shattering percent. Of the 312 SSRs screened, 94 were polymorphic between the parents. A strategy of combining the DNA pooling from phenotypic extremes and genotyping was employed to detect the putative markers associated with dormancy and shattering traits. Single marker analysis revealed co-segregation of two putative markers RM488 on chromosome 1 and RM247 on chromosome 12 were with dormancy and shattering traits respectively. The putative marker RM488 identified is suitable for the marker-assisted transfer of the dormancy shown by O. nivara accession CR100008 for addressing pre harvest sprouting in modern cultivars. Interestingly, O. nivara type allele at RM247 was observed in BILs with low shattering phenotype.
Differential grain filling in apical and basal spikelets of compact panicle rice is associated with difference in expression of miRNAs targeting gene products involved in grain filling
Authors: Chandra T , Shaw BP
Published: March 2020

Development of rice cultivars bearing numerous spikelets by breeding approach to increase production of the crop to feed the ever increasing human population accompanies poor filling of grains in their basal spikelets preventing achievement of the yield potential. To understand the reason of such poor grain filling at the level of the initial biochemical events, 5 RACE library was prepared taking RNA extracted from the spikelets of two indica rice cultivars, a compact-panicle Mahalaxmi bearing numerous spikelets per panicle (>350) and a lax-panicle Upahar bearing fewer spikelets (<250) per panicle, and the presence of the miRNA cleaved gene products involved in grain filling was identified by running PCR using gene-specific primers. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to find if the grain filling enzymes were targeted by miRNAs. The effort led to identification of three enzymes, namely granule bound starch synthase, invertase and sucrose phosphate synthase, the transcripts of which were targeted by the miRNAs osa-miR160a-5p, osa-miR166e-3p and osa-miR156b-5p, respectively. The expressions of the three miRNAs were confirmed by Northern in the apical and basal spikelets of the two cultivars. The expression analysis of the three miRNAs further revealed that these were expressed significantly more in the basal spikelets than in the apical ones of Mahalaxmi, but not of Upahar. Real time PCR of the target genes showed an opposite result, i.e., these were expressed significantly less in the basal spikelets than in the apical ones of Mahalaxmi, but mostly not of Upahar. The finding led to the conclusion that the grain filling in rice could be regulated at the level of miRNAs, and manipulation of their expression could be proved an important tool in improving grain filling in compact-panicle rice cultivars.

Most of the theoretical results, as well as methods using OFDM modulation, are obtained in order to increase the rate of information transmission with energy constraints and the bandwidth. For broadband radio access systems, this task is primarily due to the commercial purpose of these systems and the desire of the communications developers to provide high-speed wireless access to the Internet as much as possible at the same time. This article is devoted to the issue of increasing the energy efficiency of radio equipment using modulation orthogonal harmonic carriers under conditions of intentional interference and frequency-selective fading while ensuring a given level of reliability and speed of information transmission.

Implementation of Public-Private Partnerships at Kajiado County, Kenya
Authors: Shani Fauziah Y
Published: March 2020

Strategy formulation has been widely regarded as the most important component of the strategic management process. Strategy implementation, rather than strategy formulation alone, is a key requirement for superior organizational performance. The Government of Kenya (GOK) has been implementing Vision 2030 strategic plan, the country's development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. Recognizing that the required funds to fully support the country's development agenda and to meet the infrastructure deficit will require involvement of the private sector, the government has over the second half of the last decade exhibited a strategic shift towards partnering with the private sector, through a variety of avenues, key among which is the strategic adoption of Public Private Partnerships (PPP). The study thus set out to determine the extent of implementation of Public-Private Partnerships at Kajiado County. The study used a case study research design. The case study design facilitated the in-depth exploration of the extent of implementation of Public-Private Partnerships against the normal strategy implementation process specifically dwelling on Njaa Marufuku Campaign at Kajiado County. This study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data composed of the responses received from personal interviews with ten senior and middle management while the secondary data was from relevant literature review. The present study employed the qualitative type of analysis, specifically the content analysis. Results reveal that Njaa Marufuku Kenya (NMK), the studied form of PPP initiative conforms its intervention to the strategy implementation process, and this has contributed to the established programme success. The three components guiding project selection and activities within the NMK PPP strategy indicated the presence of a well laid down strategic plan. The NMK intervention was also found to observe a critical component in the strategy implementation process; clarity of goals. The tasks and activities were also found to follow a set of predefined guidelines. A large number of the program implementers were found to through training prior to the onset of project implementation. Findings further implied that stakeholder roles in the strategy implementation process within the NMK intervention were clearly cut out hence enabling a well-coordinated implementation process. The intervention of PPP was concluded to observe strategic meetings and stakeholder commitment from the government and private sector sides. As follow up to strategy implementation in various projects, the intervention was concluded to further carry out continuous monitoring and evaluation. Recommendation made was that as a way of government achieving set objectives more efficiently, PPP was an important strategic intervention.
Use of First-Line PARP Inhibitors in Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Hasler-Strub Ursula
Published: March 2020

Platinum-based chemotherapy regimens are the mainstay of advanced ovarian cancer treatment. However, up to 85% of the patients experience recurrence under these settings. To fill this gap, novel front-line treatment strategies have been established, leading to unprecedented clinical benefits. For example, first-line bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenic agent, plus chemotherapy followed by bevacizumab maintenance, has emerged as a new standard of care for newly diagnosed high risk ovarian cancer patients. This was based on the results of the phase III GOG 0218 and ICON-7 trials. More recently, poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, including niraparib, olaparib and veliparib, have offered a new treatment option as part of the front-line treatment in ovarian cancer. Here we provide an overview of three recent studies that may lead to a paradigm shift in the first-line treatment for advanced ovarian cancer.
