Authors: Rusdiana Elly , Goenharto Sianiwati , Asdika Rere Gathi
Published: June 2019

Background: Tongue thrusting is a behavior pattern in which the tongue protrudes through the anterior incisors and pushes the anterior teeth at rest position, during speech or swallowing. This bad habit causes malocclusion, but removable or fixed tongue crib appliance can be used to eliminate it. Purpose: To know various kinds of fixed tongue crib that can be used to overcome tongue thrust habit. Review: Habit is a repeated behavior pattern in the normal development stage. Tongue thrust makes oral muscle imbalance which eventually resulted in malocclusions such as incisor protruded and open bite. Several efforts can be done to overcome this habit including speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, tongue exercise and tongue crib orthodontic appliance usage. Tongue crib is used to returns the tongue to the normal position. Various forms of tongue crib are almost the same in the way they are made by soldering the crib to the maxillary first molar band. Conclusion: Tongue thrust habit can be corrected with fixed or removable tongue crib appliances such as hybrid habit correcting appliance, tongue crib with cold cured acrylic tongue shield, fixed palatal crib with transpalatal arch, fixed tongue loops, tongue fence, and upper hay rake.

Background: Autism is a disorder with symptoms as a failure to develop normal social interaction with other people, impaired of communication and imaginative ability, followed by repetitive and stereotyped movements. Autism is a global issue that may a possible cause of generation lost, and economic burden to a country. Acupuncture as one of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) technique is an option to improve the life quality of children with Autism. Purpose: To determine the syndrome pattern of children with autism and how acupuncture method works for children with autism, from the perspective of TCM. Method: Four examination methods are incorporated into nine ongoing-treatment subjects fit in autism classification from randomized special need cases. Subject characteristics are derived from allo-anamnesis. Needle acupuncture was the method of choice except one subject prefers laser acupuncture. The objective is to eliminate the phlegm, calm the heart fire, and tonify spleen. Result: after 3-5 sessions of treatment, parents reported speech improvement and reduction of compulsive self-stimulation behavior. Four subjects demonstrated speech improvement, 1 subject showed better focus and concentration, 1 subject indicated a reduction of compulsive self-stimulation behavior, 1 subject improved in obedience and improved comprehension was found in 2 subjects. Conclusion: Observation on nine subjects showed in general that they had phlegm harassing the heart and digestion problem due to spleen deficiency. This phlegm disturbed the heart functions, i.e. mental capacity including speech. Results from the treatments showed elimination of phlegm, cooling down the heart fire, and tonification of spleen improved speech, focus, comprehension, obedience, and reduction of compulsive self-stimulation behavior. Further research and study from the Chinese medicine perspective are needed.
L2 Pragmatic Competence in Chinese Secondary Schools - Teaching Approaches, Teaching Materials, and Classroom-Based Assessment
Authors: Liu Qing
Published: June 2019

English as a L2 (second language) is compulsory in many countries’ education. However, the pragmatic competence is far less developed, compared with the grammatical competence. This situation leads to a fact that many students are confident in grammar-oriented tests, but afraid of starting a conversation. Or, in many cases, the students may bewilder the native speakers. This paper concerns the teachability of L2 (Second Language) pragmatic competence in Chinese secondary schools. It starts with a relatively comprehensive introduction of some very basic concepts, including pragmatics, pragmatic competence, and ILP (interlanguage pragmatics). Next, the necessity of consciously learning of L2 pragmatic competence is discussed within the specific context, as well as its teachability. After that, challenges of L2 pragmatic competence teaching are raised from three aspects: 1) challenges for teachers in the teaching process; 2) lack of authentic L2 pragmatic input; and 3) the testing and assessment of L2 pragmatic competence. Finally, feasible ways to facilitate the teaching application of L2 pragmatic competence are proposed.
Structure-Function Correlations in Sputter Deposited Gold/Fluorocarbon Multilayers for Tuning Optical Response
Authors: Pandit Pallavi , Schwartzkopf Matthias , Rothkirch André , Roth Stephan V. , Bernstorff Sigrid , Gupta Ajay
Published: June 2019

A new strategy to nanoengineer gold/fluorocarbon multilayer (ML) nanostructures is reported. We have investigated the morphological changes occuring at the metal-polymer interface in multilayer structures with varying volume fraction of gold (Au) and the kinetic growth aspect of the microscale properties of nano-sized Au in plasma polymer fluorocarbon (PPFC). Investigations were carried out at various temperatures and annealing time by means of grazing incidence small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS and GIWAXS). We have fabricated a series of multilayers with variying volume fraction (0.12, 0.27, 0.38) of Au and bilayer periodicity in ML structure. They show an interesting granular structure consisting of nearly spherical shaped nanoparticles within the polymer layer. The nanoparticle (NP) morphology changes due to the collective effects of NPs diffusion within ensembles in the in-plane vicinity and inter-layer with increasing temperature. The in-plane NPs size distinctly increases (from 1.9 to 4 nm) with increasing temperature. The NPs become more spherical thus reducing the surface energy. Linear growth of NPs with temperature and time shows diffusion-controled growth of NPs in the ML structure. The structural stability of the multilayer is controlled by the volume ratio of the metal in polymer. At room temperature UV-Vis shows a blueshift of the plasmon peak from 560 nm in ML Au/PTFE_1 to 437 nm in Au/PTFE_3. We have identified the fabrication and post-deposition annealing conditions to limit the Local Surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR) shift (from 〖∆λ〗_LSPR=180 nm (Au/PTFE_1) to 〖∆λ〗_LSPR=67 nm (Au/PTFE_3 ML)) and their optical response over a wide visible wavelength range. A variation in the dielectric constant of the polymer in precence of varying Au inclusion is found to be the main factor affecting the LSPR frequency. Our finding may provide insights in Nano engineering ML structure can be useful to systematically control the growth of NPs in polymer matrix.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the ability to read early for children with hearing impairment in Extraordinary Kindergarten in DKI Jakarta. This research is motivated by the limitations of the language possessed by children with hearing impairment due to hearing difficulties they experience. Due to hearing impairments, children with hearing impairment does not experience the acquisition of language, so they experience various problems, one of which is learning to read. Characteristically children with hearing impairment use the visual senses in learning to read the beginning. Reading the beginning for deaf children begins with the process of identifying words through images and writing in the form of visualization. The research method used is a case study. This research was conducted at Pangudi Luhur Special School in March-April 2017. Based on the results of the research, the reading ability of children with hearing impairment is still low and the ability of nouns dominates in reading the beginning, so it needs to be optimized using special media specifically designed to read the beginning.

Extensor Mechanism Reconstruction with Use of Marlex Mesh
Authors: Abdel Matthew P. , Pagnano Mark W. , Perry Kevin I. , Hanssen Arlen D.
Published: June 2019

Background:

Marlex mesh reconstruction of the extensor mechanism via a stepwise surgical approach is a viable option to treat disruption of the extensor mechanism after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Description:

Extensor mechanism reconstruction with mesh involves a stepwise surgical approach with a particular monofilament polypropylene mesh (Marlex; C.R. Bard). Prior to incision, the 10 × 14-in (25 × 36-cm) sheet of Marlex mesh is rolled onto itself 8 to 10 times and sewn together. If the tibia is not being revised, a burr is utilized to create a trough in the tibia. Five centimeters of the tapered portion of the mesh are predipped in bone cement. The remaining cement is inserted into the trough. The tapered portion of the mesh is inserted into the tibial trough, ensuring that the mesh is fully seated. After the cement has cured, a lag screw is placed across the mesh and cement and into host bone. If the tibia is being revised at the time of the Marlex mesh reconstruction, the 5 cm of predipped mesh is placed anteriorly in the medullary canal in line with the tibial crest. The remaining procedure is similar regardless of whether the components are revised. At the level of the joint, it is essential to ensure that the mesh is covered with host tissue. Next, the proximal reconstruction, which involves mobilizing the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) distally by releasing all ventral and dorsal soft-tissue adhesions off the muscle bellies, is completed. Finally, the mesh is unitized to the vastus lateralis. With the limb maintained in full extension, the mesh is pulled directly proximally while another assistant pulls the vastus lateralis distally and medially. The vastus lateralis is deep, and the mesh is directly on top of it. Multiple nonabsorbable sutures are placed through the mesh and vastus lateralis. The VMO is then pulled distally and laterally over the mesh (which is now unitized to the vastus lateralis) by an assistant. Multiple nonabsorbable sutures (usually 8) are placed through the VMO, through the mesh, and through the vastus lateralis, unitizing the entire construct.

Alternatives:

Nonoperative treatments include a drop-lock hinge brace or knee immobilizer. Operative treatments include whole extensor mechanism allograft reconstruction or Achilles tendon allograft reconstruction.

Rationale:

The procedure avoids the limitations of allograft with regard to availability, cost, and risk of disease transmission. The technique is reproducible and cost-effective, and it has excellent functional and survivorship outcomes.
Larger Benthic Foraminifera from the Panna and Mukta Fields Offshore India: Paleobiogeographical Implications
Authors: Cotton Laura J. , Wright V. Paul , Barnett Andrew , Renema Willem
Published: June 2019

A previously undocumented, diverse assemblage of very shallow-water larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) is described from the Panna-Mukta fields, offshore India. This location lies at the margin of the late Eocene to early Miocene Arabian Peninsula marine biodiversity hotspot. The assemblage has similar characteristics to those from the Middle East, Oman and Turkey, but shares little in common with onshore western Indian assemblages. In addition, the material contains several unusual and possibly new taxa, and extends the geographic ranges of several existing LBF. The succession spans the Eocene and Oligocene, with an unconformity between the middle and upper Eocene. As such it offers insight into the response of shallow-water taxa to the Eocene–Oligocene Transition extinction event from an unusual setting in a little studied region. Our data show that LBF taxonomic richness in the Panna Mukta fields is comparable with highly diverse assemblages found in Oman, indicating it may be an eastward extension of this high diversity region. Moreover, significant decreases in diversity are seen between the middle and upper Eocene and the upper Eocene and Oligocene. Major extinctions are known to occur in global LBF records at both of these levels, and the Panna Mukta succession therefore further confirms these are global events, extending across the platform and having a dramatic (at least short-term) effect on high biodiversity regions.
Foraminiferal Biochronology of the Triassic Hoang Mai Formation, Central Vietnam
Authors: Ueno Katsumi , Ha Thuy Thi Nhu , Iryu Yasufumi
Published: June 2019

Foraminiferal biostratigraphy was investigated for the first time in the Triassic Hoang Mai Formation distributed in the southeastern part of the Sam Nua Basin which was developed along the northeastern margin of the Indochina Block during the Permian–Triassic. The formation consists entirely of carbonates and is embedded within the underlying volcano-sedimentary Dong Trau Formation and overlying fine-siliciclastic Quy Lang Formation. We examined an approximately 300 m-long core section drilled in the northeastern part of Nghe An province of north Central Vietnam. Based upon the stratigraphic distributions of 24 foraminiferal taxa, including Citaella dinarica, Citaella? deformata, Endotriada tyrrhenica, Endotriadella wirzi, Endotriadella pentacamerata, Pilamminella grandis, Pilammina cf. densa, and Triadodiscus cf. praecursor, we assigned a Pelsonian age for the main part of the Hoang Mai Formation, with its lower/basal part of the core section probably extending down into the Bithynian. Thus, the Hoang Mai Formation is referred to the middle Anisian (early Middle Triassic). We also attempted taxonomic reexamination of foraminifera reported previously from the formation and confirmed the probable occurrence of Aulotortus eotriasicus. This and other taxonomic revision executed on formerly reported foraminifera resulted in further strengthening a middle Anisian appraisal for this formation. In ascending order, the three Middle Triassic lithostratigraphic units distributed in the Sam Nua Basin are the Dong Trau, Hoang Mai, and Quy Lang formations; they have been considered to overlie each other with simple superposition. Elsewhere in the Sam Nua Basin in north Central Vietnam, however, the Balatonites ammonoid fauna, which is considered to be coeval with the present foraminiferal fauna from the Hoang Mai Formation, is known in the uppermost part of the “underlying” Dong Trau Formation and the lowermost part of the “overlying” Quy Lang Formation. This strongly implies heteropic facies development of these three formations in the Sam Nua Basin during Middle Triassic time.

Detect the types of EBV that cause infectious mononucleosis and correlate these viral types with biochemical parameters (AST, ALT and GGT) on in the metropolitan region of Belém, 2005 to 2016. A total 76 cases of infectious mononucleosis, processed the Instituto Evandro Chagas, Ananindeua, Brazil. Evaluated by PCR used primers the region EBNA 3C. EBV1 infection was observed in 71.1% (54/76) of individuals, among whom those > 14 years constituted 66.7% (36/54), the average age was 23 years, and the number of women infected was higher (61.1% [33/54]) than that of men (38.9%[21/54]). The symptoms/clinical signs observed in infection by EBV1 were cervical lymphadenopathy in 64.8% (35/54), fever in 63% (34/54), headache and arthralgia in 20.3% (11/54), and exanthema in 18.5% (10/54). Infection by EBV2 was observed in only 17.1% (13/76) of cases. Co-infection by EBV1 and EBV2, most frequently showing symptoms of fever and cervical lymphadenopathy, occurred in 66.7 (6/9) and 55.6% (5/9) of individuals. EBV1 was predominant in 71% of clinical cases of infectious mononucleosis. Correlation of biochemical parameters in infection by EBV1, EBV2, and co-infection by EBV1/2 revealed a statistically significant difference in mean changes of EBV1 in individuals older than 14 years.

Objectives: Molecular typing such as spa typing is used to control and prevent of Staphylococcus. aureus widespread in hospitals and community acquired. Hence, the aim of this study was to find the common types of S. aureus strains circulating in Shiraz via spa and SCCmec typing methods.
Results: Total of 159 S. aureus isolates were collected from two tertiary hospitals in Shiraz. Isolates were identified by biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by standard disk diffusion method and then genetic analysis of bacteria was performed using SCCmec and spa typing. In this study 31.4% of the isolates were methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The majority of isolates were SSC mec type ІІІ. Spa type t030 was the most prominent type among MRSA strains. In this study, for the first time in Iran, spa003, t386, t1877, t314, t186, t1816, t304, t325, t345 were reported. It was shown that there is a possibility that these spa types are natives to this region. Our findings showed that SCCmec ІІ, ІІІ and IV disseminate from hospital to community and vice versa. Thus, effective monitoring of MRSA in hospital and community is desirable.

The effects of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on intracranial neurotransmitters in patients with swallowing disorders after cerebral infarction
Authors: Du Yupeng , Wei Li , Jiang Huangwei
Published: June 2019

Objective

To study the improvements and mechanism of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on swallowing disorders after cerebral infarction.

Methods

A total of 60 patients with swallowing disorders were randomly assigned to receive high/low-frequency rTMS treatment, another 30 patients without rTMS treatment were included in the control group. The Kubota’s water-swallowing test, video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and major intracranial neurotransmitters were analyzed before and after treatment.

Results

No significant difference was observed in the Kubota’s water-swallowing test scores, the VFSS scores, or the levels of intracranial neurotransmitters between the three groups before treatment. The Kubota’s water-swallowing test scores were significantly reduced after high-frequency rTMS treatment than in the control group; the aspiration degree was significantly increased after high-frequency rTMS treatment than in the control group; the levels of glutamate and dopamine were significantly increased after high-frequency rTMS treatment than in the control group; Moreover, the Kubota’s water-swallowing test scores were significantly reduced after high-frequency rTMS treatment than after low-frequency rTMS treatment; the levels of glutamate and dopamine were significantly increased after high-frequency rTMS treatment than after low-frequency rTMS treatment.

Conclusions

High-frequency rTMS was effective for swallowing disorders, which may be related to increased levels of intracranial glutamate and dopamine.
Nabokov, Kubrick and Stern: Who Created Lolita?
Authors: Metlić Dijana
Published: June 2019

In this paper, I analyse the methods used by Stanley Kubrick, the famous film director and Bert Stern, an American photographer, in creating the first “visible” Lolita, relying on Nabokovʼs 1955 controversial book. The novel tells a provocative story about middle-aged university professor who moves from Europe to America in 1947, where he obsessively falls in love with the twelve-year-old Dolores Haze, with whom, by chance, he begins to travel together through USA, in order to extend the duration of their unacceptable sexual relationship. Adapting the novel in the restrictive conditions of film censorship in the early 1960s, Kubrick considerably changed the original Nabokovʼs story making it less provocative and sexually explicit. In this paper I consider Bert Sternʼs advertising campaign for Lolita as an extension of Kubrickʼs film because, his photography cycle shot in a Sag Harbour hotel, near New York, completes and continues Kubrickʼs project, showing Lolitaʼs diverse faces. Stern, rather than Kubrick, holds a prominent position in defining the so-called Lolita look that has left far-reaching consequences on popular culture in the following decades. In this paper I explore the links between Lolita and her creators, their individual contributions to the reception of Lolita in public, and I determine the role Sue Lyon, a young actress, had in this process considering the fact that she was the first flesh and blood Lolita.
Until We All Rise: Aspects of Traditional Muslim Burial Practices and Ceremonies in Tajikistan
Authors: Ashurov Barakatullo
Published: June 2019

Islam, which spread out to Central Asia after its conquest by the Arab armies in early 8th century, has expanded and taken roots in the spiritual and everyday life of each ethnic group of the region in its own way. In its Central Asian geo-cultural contexts, similar to other regions where it came to be the faith of majority, it is more prone to integrated characteristics, including traditional ethnic beliefs and ritualistic elements. The study of Islam among other things in the context of local traditional rituals, particularly the funerary traditions and observances, which has also kept many cultural elements pre-existing the arrival of Islam, has profound meaning in many aspects; such as re-interpretation of the afterlife views and development of cycle of observances and ceremonies that are performed in the hope of earning merit on behalf of deceased and a hope for the day when all who died rise again. The focus of this paper is to present the funerary ritual cycle of Tajik Muslims. The limits of the contribution are set to Tajikistan; but also refer to corresponding and parallel ceremonies observed among the Tajiks living in other neighbouring countries. The impact of this contribution is both in its inventory of the literature on the topic but also on discussion of the importance of these rituals and how the communities feel about the reasons and performance of these ceremonies. The ceremonies that provide merit for both deceased and their kin award them with a sustaining hope that they all will rise and unite in the Last Day. The material for this contribution was collected through group and individual interviews of people from various regions of Tajikistan (April-September, 2014), personal observations and from previous studies on the topic. In what follows I will provide a short literature review on existing studies on funerary traditions of Tajik Muslims and also a descriptive compendium of all currently practiced cycles of funerary ceremonies.
Quantum Bose-Fermi droplets

We study the stability of a zero temperature mixture of attractively
interacting degenerate bosons and spin-polarized fermions in the absence
of confinement. We demonstrate that higher order corrections to the
standard mean-field energy can lead to a formation of Bose-Fermi liquid
droplets – self-bound systems in three-dimensional space. The stability
analysis of the homogeneous case is supported by numerical simulations
of finite systems by explicit inclusion of surface effects. We discuss
the experimental feasibility of formation of quantum droplets and
indicate the main obstacle – inelastic three-body collisions.
TRANS (FORMAR) O NOME: ALGUNS EFEITOS DO NOME SOCIAL E DA ALTERAÇÃO DO NOME CIVIL NA VIDA DE SUJEITOS TRANS
Authors: Hatje Luis Felipe , Costa Ribeiro Paula Regina , Magalhães Joanalira Corpes
Published: June 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo investigar tanto os sentidos do nome social e do nome civil na vida de sujeitos transgêneros quanto alguns efeitos produzidos em suas vidas após a decisão judicial que alterou seus nomes e gêneros nos documentos oficiais. Nesse sentido, analisamos narrativas de quatro homens trans ao longo de entrevistas individualizadas e de um grupo focal, utilizando-se a metodologia da investigação narrativa. A partir das análises, pôde-se concluir que o ingresso no judiciário representou uma medida necessária para que pudessem garantir o exercício de alguns aspectos da cidadania que até então lhes eram negados. Além disso, evidenciou-se que, desde a sentença judicial, estes sujeitos passaram a atribuir ao Estado uma fonte de legitimidade e de reconhecimento sobre as suas identidades de gênero.

A articulação entre os setores da saúde e da educação é de extrema importância para a promoção de práticas alimentares saudáveis.

O projeto “Alimentos promotores de saúde em contexto escolar — mais conhecimento melhor crescimento” teve como objetivos: avaliar a perceção, as atitudes, as crenças e os conhecimentos da comunidade escolar sobre os alimentos promotores de saúde (APS), e a importância atribuída por essa mesma comunidade à integração de temáticas relacionadas com estes alimentos, nos currículos do 3.º ciclo do ensino básico.

Através deste projeto criou-se um ambiente propício a que os alunos fossem também mensageiros e promotores de literacia alimentar no seu contexto familiar. Percebeu-se que a comunidade escolar valoriza este tipo de iniciativas, que têm um impacto positivo e mobilizador na promoção de saúde.

Objetivo: desenvolver ações de proteção, promoção e reabilitação da saúde postural dos trabalhadores rurais na atividade leiteira. Metodologia: a população contou com 40 produtores de leite, de pequenas propriedades rurais do estado do Rio Grande do Sul e, com 10 extensionistas rurais, ambos de 10 municípios da região do Corede Noroeste Colonial e Alto Jacuí. Metodologias ativas foram o viés condutor de todas as atividades que tiveram como objetivo desenvolver ações de proteção, promoção e reabilitação da saúde postural dos trabalhadores rurais na atividade leiteira, visando uma integralidade na atenção, com vistas a melhoria da saúde postural e consequente qualidade de vida. Resultados: foram realizadas mensalmente seis oficinas pedagógicas com diferentes temáticas voltadas para educação em saúde. Além destas, foi realizado visitas às propriedades rurais dos trabalhadores leiteiros. Discussão: além de prevenir agravos futuros à saúde destes trabalhadores, as ações de educação em saúde preveem melhorar aspectos importantes na vida desses indivíduos, como dores e desconfortos posturais, possibilitando-os uma vida com mais qualidade. Conclusão: é fundamental que estes trabalhadores rurais estejam muito bem informados sobre as suas condições para que possam estar capacitados a lidar com situações, de preferência preventivamente, a fim de melhorar a qualidade de vida, e posteriormente, o rendimento no trabalho.

Published: June 2019

Vitamin B12 production by using propionibacteria and enriching food to produce functional foods is an important subject for researches. Some microorganisms have the potential to produce a wide range of components that are health promoting for human. Among them Propionibacteria has been identified as an effective producer of vitamin B12 and anti-microbial compounds such as propionic acid for decades. In this study at first, the structure, health beneficial effects and properties of vitamin B12 as well as scaled up production of vitamin are mentioned. Then biotechnological strategy is described as a solution to overcome vitamin deficiency and production of functional food. Finally, the specification of propionibacteria and its growth condition as well as bacterium ability to produce some other interesting metabolite in human food as byproduct are discussed.
Debt covenant slack, earnings management, and value relevance of accounting information
Authors: Dewi Ni Putu Sintya Purnama , Wirama Dewa Gede
Published: June 2019

This study aims to examine the effect of debt covenant slack on the value relevance of accounting information, and whether earnings management works as an intervening variable. A total of 40 non-financial companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017 were selected as sample. Three hypotheses were tested using partial least square and analyzed via path analysis. This study found that debt covenant slack positively affects the value relevance of accounting information. Possibly, the tendency of small debt covenant slacks in the firms causing the information of firms’ performance to be less relevant for the investor because they believe that the firms will prioritize the debt payments rather than dividends. Furthermore, empirical evidence from this study indicates that debt covenant slack affects investors’ decision in using firms’ performance information. However, no statistically significant effect was found neither on the relationship between debt covenant slack and earnings management nor on the relationship between earnings management and the value relevance of accounting information. Hence, earnings management is not an intervening variable in the effect of debt covenant slack on the value relevance of accounting information.
Physio-biochemical characterization of two acacia species (A. karroo Hayn and A. saligna Labill.) under saline conditions

Drought and salinity act simultaneously in tolerance and acclimatization under saline conditions. Therefore, plants subjected to these types of stress should have developed specific structural adaptations at the early stages of development. The solution to these environmental problems is to look for species that are relatively water-efficient and resistant to recurrent episodes of various abiotic stresses such as salt stress. In this study, the salinity tolerance index, ionic homeostasis and osmoprotection were evaluated in A. karroo and A. saligna plants of 90 days old and cultured at various concentrations of NaCl for 21 days. Results showed that salt caused remarkable changes in some growth-related parameters (dry biomass) represented by the salinity tolerance index (STI). Na+, Ca2+, and RatioNa+/K+ content in the leaves increased with salinity levels, while K+ contents were significantly reduced compared to the control in both acacia species. Levels of proline, total free amino acids and reducing sugars have been accumulated considerably in the leaves. A. karroo was more salt-tolerant than A. saligna. Our results showed that the adaptability of a species to salinity is closely related to ion selectivity and biomass production. The seedlings also accumulated significantly a set of important osmolytes in leaves under salt stress, showing a marked increase in secondary metabolite accumulation. This adaptation proved very specific to each species for better survival in saline environments.
