ABSTRACT Among the various biocontrol agents, Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula, a strain of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is being exploited commercially for plant protection to induce systemic resistance against various insect pests and diseases. The foliar application of P. fluorescens has been reported to enhance the activity of defense related enzymes viz., Peroxidase (POD), Polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase (PAL) in the plant system. The experiment was conducted to know the effect of induced resistance in onion through foliar application of P. fluorescens on onion thrips, Thrips tabaci. Onion thrips is the major insect pest of onion and it is identified as a pest of national importance which causes an annual yield loss of about 10 to 15 per cent in India. The results indicated that the highest activity of POD (0.70 mg protein/min), PPO (0.54 mg protein/min) and Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase (0.30 mg/100 mg) was recorded in P. fluorescens treated onion plants. The activity of these enzymes was negatively correlated with thrips population. The minimum activity of all three enzymes was observed from untreated check. These enzymes involved in the production of phytoalexins and phenolics in onion plant and thus, the induced resistance played an important role in the management of Thrips tabaci.

ABSTRACT Essential oils isolated from pine (Pinus longifolia L.), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus obliqua L’Her) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were screened for contact and fumigant activities against rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), adzuki bean weevil, Callosobruchus chinensis L. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) and rice moth Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in laboratory assays. Responses varied with test material, insect species, and exposure time. In fumigation assay, coriander and eucalyptus oils at 130µg/cm2 , caused 100% toxicity to all the species within 24 hrs of treatment, whereas pine oil revealed, 90% mortality at same concentration after 72 hrs of treatment. In contact assay, the test oils were effective against adults of S. oryzae, C. chinensis and C. cephalonica producing about 90% toxicity only after 72 hrs of treatment. Against C. chinensis adults, all test materials revealed potent insecticidal activities than other two insects in both fumigation and contact assays even at lower concentrations. These studies showed the strong insecticidal activity of coriander, eucalyptus and pine oils and its potential role as a fumigant for S. oryzae, C. chinensis and C. cephalonica. From this study we conclude that these essential oils have potential for applications in IPM programs for stored-grain pests because of its high volatility and fumigant activity.

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effect of plant oils on the caterpillars of Spodoptera frugiperda. The oil obtained from Cymbopogon citratus had the lowest median lethal concentration (LC50=0.19 µL/cm²) in comparison with the other treatments. The contact test demonstrated that Zengiber officinale was the most efficient with a median lethal dose (LD50 ) of 0.55 µL/larvae. In the repellency tests, the caterpillars showed a for rice leaves treated with 0.1 and 1% of the oil of Artemisia absinthium, 24 and 48 hrs after the application treatment. The treatments with the oils of Mentha sp., Tanacetum vulgare, Ruta graveolens and Z. officinale at 0.1% did not differ from the control. Thus, among the essential oils studied in this work, the most promising for the control of larvae of S. frugiperda were Z. officinale and C. citratus, the former being more efficient.

ABSTRACT Information was obtained over two-years, in randomly-selected villages across six states viz., Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Enugu and Rivers in southeast Nigeria, from key informants (herbalists) on plant species used as repellents against malaria vectors. Twenty-four species in 16 families were identified. The Verbenaceae yielded 5 species, the Meliaceae 3 species and the Malvaceae and Labiatae 2 species each. Duranta repens, Duranta plumeri (Verbenaceae) and Ocimum gratissimum (Labiatae) were the most widely used. Sida acuta (Malvaceae) was used in four states. The data were compared to plant species used in other countries across the globe as mosquito repellents; this showed that southeast Nigeria has a potential array of plant species that may be sources of plant-based malaria vector repellents.

ABSTRACT From the present investigation of host range, it can be concluded that Alternaria blight pathogen of Isabgol could produce visible symptoms on all the species except Ashwagandha. However, the appearance of symptoms was observed after 7-12- days of inoculation on these plants compared to 5- 7- days in Isabgol. Hence, leaf blight of Isabgol (Alternaria alternata) has a wide host range. Seed is one of the important sources of external and internal mycoflora. With the help of two methods viz. SBT and PDA plate method, it was observed that six fungi i.e. A. alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata and Penicillium spp. were frequent in all the tests. The Blotter and PDA proved to be an effective method to detect the mycoflora. However, the blotter test proved generally more sensitive, as the frequency of fungi recorded was higher in this test than PDA. Per cent frequencies of all species isolated from sterilized seeds were low as compared to unsterilized seed samples which happen quite naturally. All these mycoflora were examined for their pathogenic ability on Isabgol. Seeds and plants were inoculated with the mycoflora and closely observed for their disease reaction. It was observed that out of six fungi only A. alternata gave pathogenic reaction on the Isabgol and the pathogen is seed borne in nature.

ABSTRACT Rice black bug is the major pest of rice in Thiruvallur and Kancheepuram districts. Yield loss at 10 bugs per hill in susceptible cultivars was estimated as 23%. In this context, biopesticide like neem oil (3%), Metarhizium anisopliae (1 x 108 spores) and new molecules profenophos (1000 ml/ha.) were tested against black bug. The results revealed that black bug population was found to be significantly low in profenophos (1000 ml/ha.) sprayed plots 2.0 no./hill. Population reduction was 60.8% followed by Metarhizium anisopliae (1 x 108 spores) applied plots. In neem oil applied plots black bug population ranged from 3.0 no/hill to 3.3 no. /hill whereas control plot recorded the maximum population of 5.1 bugs / hill.

ABSTRACT The investigation on survey of entomopathogenic fungi and isolation against house fly, Musca domestica L. (Muscidae: Diptera) were carried out during 2010-2011 at the Department of Entomology, UAS, Bengaluru and Bio Control Research Laboratory, Pest Control India Private Limited, Bengaluru. Surveys were carried out once in eight days during August to September 2010 in poultry farm, dairy farm, piggery farm and slaughter house in Bengaluru and surrounding areas for natural occurrence of fungal pathogens on house flies. House fly is a well known nuisance pest in all the visited farms and this species is also found in association with human activities, cattle units, poultry farms, and piggery farm. In all the visited farms, insecticides like Deltamethrin, Ektomin, Dichlorovas and pest-o-flash (light trap) are currently being used for managing the house fly. Soil baiting with larvae of Galleria mellonella yielded two isolates representing two genera, Beauveria bassiana and Metarrizium anisopliae from three different locations. No fungus was recovered from the UAS, GKVK Piggery farm. The survey revealed that incidence of fungal species in all farm sectors. House fly population was not widely prevalent in all the locations surveyed. Only two fungal species viz., B. bassiana and Aspergillus flavus were isolated during the survey and there was no epizootic incidence of fungal pathogens during this period. Future studies should be carried out by using different methods of isolation of fungus from naturally occurring house flies.

ABSTRACT The bioactivity of Alstonia boonei De Wild leaf alkaloid was tested under laboratory bioassay against the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius. The alkaloid was incorporated into standard M. vitrata artificial diet at five doses [0.00 % (Control), 0.02 %, 0.05 %, 0.10 % and 0.20 %], and fed to the newly emerged first instar M. vitrata larvae in plastic wells under laboratory conditions. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were recorded in the larval survival, wet and dry weights of the larvae at ten days after infestation (DAI). Mean larval survival ranged from 34.78 to 65.00 percent in the treatments with the alkaloid compared with 91.67 percent in the control. At 15 DAI, all the survivors in the control had pupated normally compared with the 4.34 to 35.00 percent pupation (with various levels of deformity) in the treatments with the alkaloid. The mean percentage adult emergence was also significantly different in the control (83.33 %) compared with the other treatments (range 0.00 to 10.00 %). These results indicate a high level of bioactivity of A. boonei leaf alkaloid against M. vitrata. It is concluded that the alkaloid has a great potential in the search for bioactive compounds for the management of the insect.

ABSTRACT In agriculture, there is a constant search for natural products with biological activities that minimize the environmental impact of various pesticides used such as insecticides. The chemical constituents present in plants have these activities and show promise in fighting pests in agriculture. An approach to the selection of new insecticides that fulfill the requirements of safety, efficacy and selectivity, can be through the study of defense mechanisms of plants. Recent studies have shown the potential insecticide substances and extracts isolated from plants against various insect pests that cause serious damage to crops or stored grain. These active ingredients are distributed by different plant organs and involved in secondary metabolism, are divided into three major groups: terpenes, phenols and nitrogenous compounds. Thus, this review aims to give an overview of the active ingredients obtained from plant extracts with potential insecticidal to Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

The Interplay Between International Relations and Science, Technology and Innovation: An Analysis of Embraer’s International Partnerships
Authors: Daros Maurílio , Leite Iara Costa , Brustolin Vitelio Marcos
Published: April 2024

International partnerships have been fundamental to Embraer’s technological advancement. The very creation of the company was only possible due to prior support received from specialized institutions in countries such as the United States, with governmental support. Even so, academic works on Embraer focus very little on its international agreements. This article maps and systematizes literature on international partnerships involving Embraer retrieved by Scopus, Scielo and the CAPES Thesis and Dissertation Catalog. In addition to presenting quantitative data that corroborates the finding on low participation of specific literature on international partnerships involving Embraer, this article demonstrates that almost none of the articles retrieved by the search are from the field of International Relations. In general, concepts and theories on which the mapped literature relies assume a purely transnational component in the partnerships without taking into account, for instance, the role of states in supervising international knowledge flows. Contributions made by the literature, while relevant to understanding business partnerships involving knowledge flows, do not necessarily consider the uniqueness of such flows when they cross national borders. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the mapped literature does not take the partnership axis (North-South or South-South) as a relevant variable for effectiveness.

Authors: Mokhtari Sorkhani Tayebeh , Khademi Nezhad Haniyeh , Rajabalipour Mohammadreza
Published: April 2024

Background: Clinical education in medical sciences is highly stressful. Students face stressors not only related to the learning environment but also in the clinical setting. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of group counseling on clinical stress management among midwifery students at a medical university in southeastern Iran. Methods: In this quasi-experimental interventional study, a before-after design was employed using the census method involving 48 midwifery students. A researcher-designed questionnaire was utilized to evaluate factors contributing to stress. The educational interventions were conducted in eight group sessions from November 2021 to February 2022 at Pastor Educational and Medical Hospital in Bam City, Kerman province. Data analysis was conducted using the MIC-MAC model, and statistical analyses included the paired sample t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient through SPSS. Results: Overall, mean scores of stressors decreased significantly after the educational intervention (P = 0.006). Before the intervention, the highest and lowest mean scores were related to "teacher role" (3.15 ± 0.84) and "student's personality" (2.18 ± 0.61), respectively. After the intervention, these subareas continued to have the highest and lowest mean scores of stressors, (2.73 ± 0.94) and (2.19 ± 0.66), respectively. All stressors showed a significant correlation with the total stress score after the intervention. Conclusions: The presence of stress management programs tailored to the specific needs of medical science students, both in academic and clinical settings, is crucial. These programs should prioritize enhancing communication skills between teachers and students, improving interpersonal relationships, and providing incentives to boost student self-confidence.

One of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia is landslides Heavy rains have caused several landslides in various regions, causing a large impact every year. Landslides caused by rainfall have also become a global problem in many regions, leading to large-scale landslides. Landslides that occur in Sitinjau Lauik, Padang City are influenced by high rainfall with very steep slopes (70˚-80˚), making this area very prone to landslides. One of the techniques used in mapping landslide vulnerability is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technique, which is a flying machine controlled by a remote controller. The data obtained will be processed using ArcGIS with Weighted Overlay technique, and factors affecting landslides have been conditioned based on Multi Influencing Factor (MIF). This research aims to achieve: 1) the landslide vulnerability level of Sitinjau Lauik Padang-Solok, 2) determine the landslide prone zones in Sitinjau Lauik. The type of research used in this research is quantitative research with spatial approach. The data required are primary data and secondary data. Primary data consists of aerial photographs taken using drones and processed to produce slope, elevation, aspect, and TWI. The secondary data used is the Landsat 8 image in 2023 which is used to determine the vegetation index. This research resulted in 1) The landslide vulnerability level of Sitinjau Lauik is divided into four classes, namely, low landslide vulnerability level with an area of 4342m or 10.81%. Medium landslide vulnerability level with an area of 24575m or 61.16%. High landslide vulnerability level with an area of 11,294m or 28%. And very high landslide vulnerability level with an area of 14m or 0.03%.  2) Landslide vulnerability zonation based on slope condition is divided into 3 zones: Zone A with an area of 20,901m, Zone B with an area of 4642m.
