Formação em balé clássico no Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Souza Maria Thereza , Mendes Capraro André
Published: September 2022

A pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar uma instituição de formação em balé e identificar características pedagógicas. A abordagem se deu por meio de observação direta e de entrevistas com professores e bailarinos. Percebeu-se preocupação com a imagem de autoritarismo atrelada a esse ambiente por parte dos professores e, nas falas dos bailarinos, a existência de marcas de sofrimento causadas pela percepção de que seus esforços podem não ser suficientes para atingir sucesso. Identificou-se que existe uma transição entre o professor autoritário e o educador. Além disso, os professores demonstraram entender que o mercado do balé clássico no Brasil é exíguo e, assim, identificaram que as pedagogias devem trabalhar também valores e capacidades sociais e profissionais mais amplas. Isso se mostrou ainda mais preponderante em relação aos rapazes, que vindos de classes socioeconômicas baixas, começam a especialização tardiamente e, geralmente, precisam a deixar quando chega a fase de decisões profissionais.

Authors: Zhang Ying , Huang Dongdong , Gu Haibo , Jiang Tao , Li Ning
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Several articles have examined the relationship of IL-4 receptor gene (IL-4R) polymorphisms with asthma, yet the results remain inconsistent. This may be attributed to the small sample sizes and polymorphism’s small effect size that fail to offer potent statistical power. Therefore, this meta-analysis on related studies was aimed at analyzing how IL-4R Q576R polymorphisms affected the asthma susceptibility.

Material and methods

Databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI and EMBASE were systematically searched for retrieving pertinent studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and the relevant 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were also calculated.

Results

Collectively, 12 eligible articles involving 1553 patients and 1904 normal subjects were subjected to analysis. There was no distinct relationship between IL-4R Q576R polymorphism and asthma susceptibility, in the entire study population (R vs Q: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.98–1.59; RQ vs QQ: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.98–1.49; RR vs QQ: OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 0.80–2.71; the recessive model: OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 0.80–2.40; the dominant model: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.98–1.60). Subgroup analysis, conducted based on ethnicity and study population, revealed no obvious interrelation.

Conclusions

Our findings demonstrated no relationship between IL-4R Q576R polymorphism and asthma susceptibility. More well-designed and large-scale studies are needed to validate the above findings.

Authors: Górczewska Bogumiła , Jakubowska-Pietkiewicz Elżbieta
Published: September 2022

Introduction

The rational mental state of patients is necessary for the proper treatment of the disease. Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic disease that affects all spheres of the patient's life. If it is diagnosed, lifelong treatment is required. Background: The aim of our study was to assess life quality and satisfaction of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis depending on the duration of the disease.

Material and methods

The study was conducted among 198 women aged over 50 years with postmenopausal osteoporosis. For this purpose, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), QUALEFFO-41 and a self-authored questionnaire were used.

Results

The surveyed women assessed their quality of life as moderate and obtained, according to the QUALEFFO-41 scale, an average score of 40.26 ± 16.92 points. The mean result of the level of satisfaction with life, assessed on the SWLS scale, was 19.37 ± 7.31 points, which proves moderate satisfaction with life. Age, education and marital status had a statistically significant impact on the quality of life. ). Life satisfaction was higher in older women as compared to younger subjects

Conclusions

The quality of life significantly worsens with the duration of osteoporosis in the respondents. These results emphasize the need to introduce psychological care and educational programs that would focus on women aged over 50 years.

Authors: Zhao Zhibin , He Kai , Xu Xian
Published: September 2022

Introduction

To explore the mechanism and clinical effect of acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy on premature ovarian failure.

Material and methods

A total of 100 cases of POF were collected and divided into POF group and POF+acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy (POF+ACU) group. Cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients in each group were extracted by lumbar puncture, and exosomes were isolated and purified. The expression level of exosome protein NELL2 was analyzed by western blot, and the morphology of exosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The changes of sex hormone levels were detected by TOSOH AIA 1800 automatic chemiluminescence analyzer. Follicular development and ovulation were monitored by B-ultrasound.

Results

The expression of protein CD9, CD81 and NELL2 in POF+ACU group all increased compared with POF group. TEM images showed that the exosomes were oval or round membranous vesicles. After 3 months of continuous acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy, it was found that the level of testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) in the POF+ACU group were significantly increased, while the follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were significantly decreased, showing a significant difference compared with the POF group. B-ultrasound observation of the endometrial thickness and the maximum follicle diameter showed that the values of POF+ACU group increased, showing no statistical difference compared with the NC group. Ovulation occurred in 20% of the 50 patients in the POF group and 70% in the POF+ACU treatment group.

Conclusions

Acupoint selection and acupuncture therapy can treat POF by promoting the secretion of exosome protein NELL2

Examining Leadership Traits to Succeed in a VUCA-Induced Environment in Eskom
Authors: Pramjeeth Shamola , Mutambara Emmanuel
Published: September 2022

Leading through a crisis and volatile environment requires very different and unique leadership traits. This research sought to understand if the leaders at a state-owned (SoE) utility in South Africa, Eskom, are equipped with the required traits to succeed in a volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) induced crisis environment like the Covid-19 pandemic and if there is an alignment between how leaders perceive how well they can perform their tasks with their employees' perceptions of their ability to do the task in this environment. Ineffective leadership response to such an environment and crisis due to leaders lacking the essential traits can cost the SoE direly in financial terms, market value, service delivery, brand equity, and employee attrition. Thus, establishing the key leadership traits that leaders at Eskom lack for leading in VUCA and crisis environments would assist Eskom in identifying the appropriate upskilling for their leaders. Using a quantitative research design, the study surveyed a total of 65 senior managers and 45 employees at Eskom, an SoE in South Africa, using an online survey platform. The study found that the senior managers at Eskom are equipped to some degree with the appropriate traits required to succeed in a VUCA environment. They could not perform all 32 tasks well as per the SCAILES framework but do display key traits that align to 6 constructs of the framework: strategic, complex, adaptive, learning, emergence, and systems.

The information age, unlike its predecessors, has brought about significant changes in our lives. In modern society, the rapid development of education is important. The article speaks of the close connection between education and life. It was noted that a requirement to meet the growing spiritual and material needs of people. Since the foundation of education is laid in the primary grades, teachers should pay great attention to the creative work of students, because new inventions, technological processing are the result of creative work. In fact, creative work is associated with the independent activity of people, as well as students. From this point of view, junior students should be provided with sufficient space for independent work. Of particular importance is the importance of independent work in mathematics lessons. The opinions of a number of scientists and methodologists on this issue are considered. Attempts have been made to find common ground in their approaches. The classifications of students' independent work are considered. Given that these classifications are based on different principles, the author presents his approach in the form of tables. The approximate schedule of time allocated for independent work has been investigated. It has been shown that this primarily depends on the level of knowledge of the class. Examples of assignments for two forms of independent work in the classroom are given. The differences between these types are explained. At the end, an experiment was carried out, the results of which showed that the applied method was justified. At the end, the didactic significance of the work is emphasized.

Is there a relationship between sella turcica calcification and thyroid cartilage calcification? A random study using lateral cephalometric radiography
Authors: Garrido Andrea , Alsafadi Alaa , Menéndez Iván , Cobo Ramón , Cobo Teresa
Published: September 2022

Thyroid cartilage changes begin in the second decade of life with the horn of the thyroid cartilage, and spread throughout the individual’s lifetime to other cartilage plates. However, the objective of the present study is to assess if there is an association between thyroid calcification (TC) and sella turcica bridging (STB). Forty patients, 11 men and 29 women, aged between 40 and 62 years with a mean age of 48.6 years were studied. The sample inclusion criteria of this study were age in the fourth decade, no craniofacial deformities, no history of craniofacial surgical intervention, good-quality lateral cephalometric radiographs, and good visualization of the sella turcica (ST). A total of 40 registered patients were included in the assessment of calcification of the thyroid cartilage. Of these, 75% presented with thyroid calcifications, and 25% did not. Data on sex was available for all 40 registered patients. A total of 72.5% were female, and 27.5% were male. While in a comparison between calcification of the thyroid and calcification of the sella turcica, no statistical relationship was observed between the two variables. Thyroid cartilage calcification could be considered a normal part of the ageing process, while STB could appear on lateral radiographs due to superimposition of the anatomical structures. In this study, we found no relationship between thyroid cartilage calcification and STB, and a larger patient sample is required for evaluating calcification of the thyroid and STB.

Published: September 2022

Cerebral vascular anatomical variations are not uncommon in the human population. Their prevalence is not exactly known, as most of them are incidentally diagnosed on angiography or postmortem dissections. We present a rare fenestration of the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery presenting with a ruptured saccular aneurysm. A 42-year-old hypertensive patient presented unconscious following a ruptured saccular aneurysm. The computer tomography angiography showed a fenestration of the right A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA). The medial segment of the A1 was communicating with the left ACA via the Anterior communicating artery, while the lateral segment was directly joining the A2 segment of the same side. Intraoperatively, the two segments were identified as separate vascular structures not sharing adventitia, and of equal caliber. The aneurysm arising from the bifurcation was clipped. The patient recovered with no neurological deficits. Many vascular anomalies like fenestrations and bifurcations are underdiagnosed, as many of them remain asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on postmortem dissection or angiography for other pathologies. This has led to a paucity of cases to determine the prevalence in the human population. Good knowledge of the vascular anatomy variations and associated risk of aneurysm is important for the vascular neurosurgeons.

Published: September 2022

Preoperative evaluation of the sphenoid sinus septa is mandatory for safe endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. This study aimed at elucidating the variant septation of the sphenoid sinus using computed tomographic images of adult patients. This observational study retrospectively evaluated 336 brain Computed Tomographic images of adult patients seen in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital. The study was approved by the Research Committee of the Hospital. The presence, number, location and attachment of the sphenoid sinus septum were studied and recorded. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23 was used to analyze the prevalence of the variants and compare them based on gender and side using the Chi-square test. The level of significance was considered at p<0.05. The prevalence of a single complete septum was 179 (53.3%), while double and multiple septa had a frequency of 88 (26.2%) and 69 (20.5%) respectively. The complete septum was predominantly located in the paramedian position (185, 69.3%). The septa attached onto the carotid canal and optic canal in 91 (27.1%) and 46 (13.7%) patients respectively. The multiple and double septa had a high predilection for the carotid (52, 75.4%) and optic (32, 36.4%) canal insertions respectively. These patterns of septation did not show any significant relationship with gender or side (P>0.05). The single septum was the most prevalent and frequent in the paramedian location, while multiple and double septa commonly insert onto the carotid and optic channels respectively.

Emotion regulation problems are a common problem in children with autism. Resilience, which is defined as the process of self-regulation in response to crisis and difficulties, may have an impact on parents' moods in the daily life of children with autism. It was planned to determine the relationship between the level of psychological resilience of mothers who assumed the role of primary caregivers and the emotion regulation skills of children with autism. Mothers of children aged 3-18 years with autism spectrum disorder were included in the study. The resilience levels of the mothers were evaluated using the self-reported “Resilience Scale for Adults” and the emotion regulation skills of the children were evaluated using the “Emotion Regulation Scale” based on the parent report. The study was completed with 40 mothers with an average age of 38.55±8 years. The social resources of the mothers and their personal characteristics defined as structural style (r=0.389; p=0.013) and their future anxiety levels (r=0.0337; p=0.034); Family adjustment was found to be positively associated with self-perception (r=0.358; p=0.023) and social competence level (r=0.601; p=0.00). Future anxiety levels of mothers and children's emotion regulation skills were found to be negatively correlated (r=-0.344; p=0.03). The findings of the study show that mothers who have anxiety about the future will affect the emotion regulation behaviors of children with autism in daily life. It can be a guide for family-based studies of disciplines working with children with autism. Comparative studies should be conducted in which the number of participants is increased and healthy children and their mothers are included as a control group.

This study examines the elements that influence the internal resource based view of manufacturing enterprises in Pakistan, which is in line with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 12. The resources revealed in this study can be used as success factors in the development of new goods. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from a sample of 318 male and female employees working in the new product development process (NPDP) in various manufacturing organizations in Pakistan in order to meet the research objectives. A reliability test and an exploratory factor analysis were also used. Exploratory factor analysis yielded the identification of seven internal resources. Seven internal resources are subjected to a reliability test using Cronbach's Alpha, which meets the good reliability analysis criteria. RBV has rarely addressed the subject of resource identification in poor nations like Pakistan in prior studies, therefore this study will be useful for both industrialists and researchers in determining which resources are required for NPDP. In the future, the extracted dimensions of IRBV in this study can be used as independent variables in a theoretical framework, and their influence on the new product development process could be examined. Key Words: Internal Resource Based View, Exploratory Factor Analysis,Reliability Analysis, Manufacturing Sector

Authors: B. Hemalatha , M. Kalpana , B. Sree Rekha , A. Varalakshmi , K. Padmalatha
Published: September 2022

Nasal drug delivery has got a great deal of attention as a convenient, reliable and potential method for the systemic administration of drugs. It is specially for those molecules which are ineffective orally and only effective if given by injection. The nasal route of drug delivery has advantages over the other alternative systems of non-invasive drug administration. Nasal route is advantageous for the drugs which are unstable on oral administration as they are much degraded in GIT or else metabolized by first pass effect in liver. Nasal route is alternative to parenteral therapy and as well helpful for long term therapy. Nasal mucosa is greatly vascularised as well as mainly permeable giving fast absorption and onset of action. Nasal route is non invasive, extensively used for the local treatment might also be used for systemic therapy as drug directly goes in systemic circulation. Nasal route gives excellent absorption of small molecules, than that of large molecules can be augmented by absorption promoters. The present review presents information pertaining to nasal drug delivery system such as advantages, limitations, anatomy of nose, mechanism of drug absorption, barriers to drug absorption, factors influencing nasal drug absorption, strategies to improve nasal absorption, excipients used in nasal formulations, nasal formulations and their evaluation.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: The majority of headaches in children are of benign primary causes; however, headache secondary to various reasons is also possible. The rationale for imaging in headache is to demonstrate serious and treatable lesions that can be fatal or affect the quality of life. However, the incidence of such lesions is very low in children. In this study, we aimed to evaluate pathologies detected by MRI in pediatric patients applying with an isolated headache.Materials and Methods:MRIs of pediatric patients referred to our department between 2013-2014, with isolated headaches and no systemic or neurological symptoms apart from aura were retrospectively evaluated. Out of 447 patients included in the study, 271 (60,6%) were female and 176 (39,4%) were male. Their age varied between 3-18 (average 12.2±3.5).Results: 158 pathologies in 132 patients (29,5%) were detected. White matter lesions were more common in children older than 10 years of age, whereas sinusitis wasmore common in children younger than 10 (p= 0,019 and 0,029 respectively).Conclusion: MRI demonstrates findings that require treatment or change treatment plan in only a very small number of patients applying with an isolated headache. In light of the results of our study and the published literature, we conclude that imaging is not beneficial in children with normal neurological examination, no systemic pathologies and with a typical history of migraine or tension-type headache.

Authors: Sarabia Paul Erwin , Biray Ersyl
Published: September 2022

This descriptive study determined the institutional status of the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) program of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Western Visayas in terms of years of implementation, AACCUP level of accreditation, the total number and educational qualification of the faculty, and level of practice of the program to the Philippine Technological Council – Washington Accord (PTC-WA) based on the nine (9) criteria. Data gathered through a survey questionnaire were presented in tabular and narrative presentations and were confirmed through triangulation using comparative analysis and review questions. Results revealed that the majority of the SUCs in Western Visayas had offered the BSCE program for 5-10 years, with Level II accreditation. Most of the faculty members are full-time and have master’s degrees, and the average passing percentage of the graduates in the board examination for the last three years was 75.55% as against the national passing percentage of 41.05%. As an entire group, SUCs in Western Visayas offering the BSCE program had ‘Very Highly Practiced’ the PTC-WA criteria on students and ‘Highly Practiced’ on all the other eight criteria of PTC-WA. As a whole, they had ‘Highly Practiced’ the nine criteria of PTC-WA. Consequently, respondents recommend to the SUCs management to pursue the development of the BSCE program by empowering its heads of units, faculty members, and support staff to cope with the improvement needed in terms of program educational objectives, faculty and support staff, continuous quality improvement, community-oriented programs, and industry-academe linkages.

Authors: Apat Elaine Joy
Published: September 2022

This paper focused on the assessment of governance risks and its effects to employee retention of service-based businesses in Laguna, Philippines. The study exclusively adopted the governance risks from LaConte’s Strategic Risks Model and Job Embeddedness’ Theory for employee retention. Descriptive research and purposive sampling were employed with 360 retrieved questionnaires. The questionnaire used in this study were subjected to reliability testing with acceptable to good internal consistency. Data were evaluated using statistical tools of frequency, rank, mean, weighted mean and ANOVA. The highest governance risks experienced by business owners during the pandemic in relation to planning is the suspended implementation of goals and objectives while in terms of monitoring and control, unpreparedness on future risks was ranked first. Management support to the professional needs of its employees is significant for reduced turnover of employee retention. Moreover, for the employee productivity, involvement of the employees to the business planning got the highest mean. Planning, and monitoring and control have strong significant difference when grouped according to service sector while under employee retention, reduced turnover is significantly different when grouped according to profile factor. However, the employee productivity showed only strong significant difference in service sector. The study suggested that LGUs may develop a program for governance management and employee empowerment program to aid the recovery programs for service-based businesses.

Through descriptive correlational research design, it investigated the level of competencies of classroom teacher-counselor into behavioral competencies and work-related competencies, and the level of student’s self-esteem into identity, appreciation, acceptance, self-confidence, pride, humility and selfishness. It involved 147 Grade 11 and Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences students of one private school in the Philippines during the academic year 2021-2022. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between the competencies of classroom teacher-counselors and the self-esteem of senior high school students. Therefore, the null hypothesis posited in the study is not sustained. In this light, the study posits that the competence of the teachers as counselors are significant in the development of students’ self-esteem. Therefore, students may directly share their concerns with their teacher-counselor dealing with personal issues affecting their general well-being and academic progress. Teachers need to continue to support the learners through counseling and guidance leading to their academic success. Similarly, strengthening the competencies of teachers–counselors reassure the students’ mental health.

Periodic or continuous exposure to very low temperatures in psychrotolerant enhances production of few specific molecules that prevent them from freezing, called Ice binding proteins. Psychrophiles is capable of synthesizing some important proteins & peptides that can regulate growth of ice crystals and these are named Ice Binding Proteins (IBPs). Ice binding proteins are specialized proteins that are less popular but extremely crucial. Antifreeze proteins (AFP) are among them only that enhance the formation of large grains of ice inside cells that damage cellular organs or cause cell death. The unique ice recrystallization inhibition properties (IRI) and thermal hysteresis (TH) have become one of the promising tools in industrial applications such as cryobiology, food storage and others. This article summarizes the functions and applications of the large group of IBPs.

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) is the most widely cultivated pulse crop of India. Deficiencies of micronutrients viz., Zn and B are a common problem in cowpea. Foliar Application is very effective to correct the micronutrient deficiencies in pulses, but it is too laborious. The Present Research was held at Research Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, SHUATS, Prayagraj a field experiment was undertaken in the Zaid season 2021, With 9 treatments and 3 replications, the experiment was set up in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) results includes, the physico-chemical properties ranged optimum range and the available Zinc was found 0.46 to 0.38 in 0-15 mg kg-1 cm depth and 0.33 to 0.23 mg kg-1 in 15-30 cm depth. Available Boron was found 0.62 to 0.53 mg kg-1 in 0-15 cm soil depth and 0.36 to 0.29 mg kg-1 in 15-30 cm depth. Post-harvest available Zn and B content registered lower. This might be due to the antagonistic effect of Zn on B. And may be attributed to the fact that by the foliar application at 4th and 6th week, maximum nutrient was readily used up by the plant parts.

Plant growth regulators (PGRâs) play an essential role in determining the development pathway of plant cells and tissues in culture medium. The auxins and cytokinins are most commonly used plant growth regulators. Plant growth regulators (PGR) are vital for plant developmental process. Pterocarpus marsupium is known as Indian Kino Tree or Malabar Tree, which is exploited due to its medicinal properties such as anti bacterial, anti diabetics, anti analgesic etc. The objective of this research is to study the effect of different growth hormones on Pterocarpus marsupium to further standardize the in vitro miropropagation protocol. The result of the study conducted showed that cytokinine with low concentration of auxin has optimal for shoot multiplication and maintenance of in vitro cultures of Pterocarpus marsupium.

Plant growth promoting bacteria are bacteria that colonize the root surfaces and closely adhere to the soil interface, known as the rhizosphere. In the present study PGPRâs were isolated from agricultural field of wheat (Triticum aestivum) Salouni and Ladraur sites of Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. Total 20 bacterial isolates were isolated from two different sites. In vitro screening was used to identify the potential of isolates as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria inoculants based on their capacity to solubilizer phosphate, protease production (lytic enzyme), and HCN synthesis. Out of 20 bacterial isolates, selected seven bacterial isolates were inoculate into carrier (cocopeat powder and charcoal powder). The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize the most potent PGPR, as well as to evaluate their performance in terms of HCN production, protease production, and P-solubilization, and making consortia-based bioformulation by using these selected bacterial isolates. In this investigation, we evaluated the plant growth promoting activity of two different carriers such as charcoal and cocopeat based formulation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

Tarlac is a landlocked province located in Central Luzon, Philippines. It has natural forests containing natural vegetation which offers favorable surroundings for the mushrooms to grow. In this study, a collection of macrofungi was conducted, followed by molecular identification. The genomic DNA was extracted through CTAB method, and amplified the ITS region using Internal Transcribe Spacer (ITS) gene marker. The amplified products were sequenced and identified using BLAST NCBI analysis. There are 25 mushroom samples that were successfully identified and with high similarity with those of other related species retrieved from GenBank. The samples were classified into 6 orders, 12 families, 15 genera, and 25 species from Basidiomycota and Ascomycota which separated into two branches in the phylogeny tree. The tree also shows that the most species collected were from the order Polyporales with 11 species grouped in the first clade followed by Agaricales with 8 mushroom species. A portion of the fruiting body with 15% glycerol and all the mycelial samples were transferred in cryovials and placed in a cryofreezer for preservation.

Childhood stunting is a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries. It is the consequence of malnutrition during the first years of life and the preconception period. It represents a socio-medical problem, it can present the first sign of a pathology and which can jeopardize a vital and functional prognosis of the child, also it can even become complicated with a small height in adulthood. This study focuses on the impact of eating behaviors, habits, and lifestyle on the stunting of 219 children aged 7 to 12 in the peri-urban area of Casablanca, Morocco. The sampling involved 219 children aged 7 to 12 from the region of Tit mellil âperi-urban area of Casablanca, Morocco. All participants completed a CAP Scoring Assessment Questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into three sections: food groups, eating behaviour and lifestyle. The height measurement was carried out by a vertical measuring rod, the weight and the BMI using an impedence meter (krada scan). Body status was assessed by comparing BMI to WHO 2008 reference standards. The study involved 219 children (including 125 girls and 94 boys), the mean age was 9.53 Â± 1.48, The prevalence of different height per age classes according to sex showed that the prevalence of growth normal and stunting is respectively 96% and 4% according to WHO (2008). The prevalence of stunting is very high in girls than boys, representing 3% and 1% respectively (Table 3). While the distribution according to age shows a high prevalence of stunting with percentages of 0.9% and in children aged 9 and 12 years. Several characteristics differentiate children with a stunting and normal growth children). Children with a stunting are less likely than normal growth children to eat breakfast often (1.83% versus 37.9% without reaching significance). 0.91% never take it, also 1.83% of children with stunting drink 6 to 8 glasses of water per day (p=0.009). In Morocco stunting prevalence is variable, with prevalence of 16.02% according to WHO standards in children aged less than 5 years (Sellam et al., 2015). The stunting estimated at 4% according to the 2008 WHO references, hence the interest of implementing a preventive strategy in order to slow the progression of this problem is necessary. Accordingly, the promotion of a healthy diet.

Field emergence, stand establishment and standard germination of maize inbreds (Zea mays L.) are considered to be the most important yield-contributing factors. The influence of seed vigour on these factors is vital. Therefore, eleven laboratory tests were conducted on the basis of a complete block design (CBD) with three replications in 2020-21, to evaluate the correlation among the seed vigour tests and field emergence of 14 inbreds and two maize hybrids. In laboratory tests, differences between 14 inbreds and two hybrids for quality parameter viz., germination, seed vigour-I, seed vigour-II, radicle emergence and speed of germination showed significant and positive correlation with field emergence after 8 MAS, while root length, seedling length, seed vigour-I and radical emergence showed a positive and significant association at 0 months. The field emergence percentage had the significant negative correlation with conductivity test. Therefore, the standard germination test was not a good indicator for field emergence percentage. However, vigour test and conductivity tests were the best predictor of field emergence than all the other laboratory tests.
