Rhizobium known for its nitrogen fixation and plant growth promoting capabilities which is symbiotically associative with legume plants. So forth Rhizobium used as biofertilizers in the agriculture. The ability of controlling plant diseases by using Rhizobium produced secondary metabolites as biocontrol agent is the current open area in the agriculture research. The nodules inhabited Rhizobium strains were selected for the production of secondary metabolites and the ability of controlling Fusarium was evaluated preliminarily by agar well diffusion assay. Four different Rhizobium were isolated, among that S1 cannot showed any inhibition, whereas S2, S3 and S4 were showed 11, 15 and 19mm of inhibition respectively.Among that S4 selected further and DNA isolated and identified using 16S rDNA gene sequencing. The sequences were submitted in genbank and got accession number MH165175. This organism was found to be Bradyrhizobium japonicum and mass cultured for compound extraction using organic solvents. The extracted secondary metabolite were purified using different chromatography techniques. The purified fractions were analyzed for the biocontrol of Fusarium sp., isolated from infected cowpea and results showed fraction 4showed 21mm zone of inhibition. Further the selected fractions were analytically characterized to know the compounds present. Finally the purified compounds were evaluated for its biocontrol behavior against Fusaium sp., and plant growth promotion in in vitro conditions.

Published: January 2020

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of nails caused by dermatophytes, yeasts of nondermatophyte molds. Far more than being a simple cosmetic problem, infected nail serves as a chronic reservoir, which can give rise to repeated mycotic infections and represents about 30% of mycotic cutaneous infections. Theprevalence rate of onychomycosis is determined by age, predisposing factor, social class, occupation, climate,living environment. To evaluation of Anti-fungal potential of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Blume (Lauraceae) Barks Extract for Onychomycosis. The C. Zeylanicum barks crude extracts were obtained by soxhlet-solidliquid extraction using ethanol and aqueous. The dermatophytes namely, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton simii, Epidermophyton floccosum and Candida albicans were recovered from rice farmers in Orathanadu, Thanjavur (Dt), Tamil Nadu. The antifungal activity, minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations against the onychomycosis of C. zeylanicum was determined by the disc diffusion methods in sabouraud dextrose agar using ketoconazole (2mg/disc) as a positive control. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of wide range of bioactive constituents like flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, terpenes and steroids. The ethanol barks extract inhibited all test organisms at the minimum concentration of 25 mg/ml while fungicidal actions were observed at a concentration of 50 mg/ml for T. rubrum, 180 mg/ml for T. mentagrophytes, 160 mg/ml for T. simii, 120 mg/ml for E. floccosum and 60 mg/ml for C. albicans. The ability of the extracts to inhibit the growth of fungi likes dermatophytes and yeast is an indication of the antifungal potential of C. zylanicum, which makes the candidate for production of antifungal agents.
DYNAMIC PRICING MODEL USING PRICE MULTIPLIERS FOR ONLINE BUS TICKET BOOKING
Authors: D Sindu
Published: January 2020

Dynamic pricing is a price determination by the buyer and seller at the time of transaction. In the present study we propose a dynamic pricing approach for the online bus ticket booking. The proposed pproach is based on having “price multipliers” that vary around “1” and provide a varying iscount/premium over the base price. The price multipliers are functions of certain influencing variables .The values of price multipliers are determined based on analysis of price multipliers and its demand variation. We have tested the proposed approach by successfully applying it to the online bus ticket booking for the route “Chennai - Mudalur 2012” of Ticketgoose.com, an online bus ticket booking firm as a case study

Authors: B Chandar Shekar , S Sathisha , Sundari Sulana , S Sunnitha , C Sharmila
Published: January 2020

Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) thin films were prepared by dip coating method. Benzene was used as a solvent to prepare PMMA thin films for the time periods ranging from 1 min. to 1 h. The thickness of the films deposited was measured by using an electronic thickness measuring instrument (Tesatronic-TTD-20). Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum was used to identify the above said films. X-ray diffraction spectra indicated the predominantly amorphous nature of the films. Surface morphology of the coated films studied by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated the absence of any pits, cracks and pin holes in the surface. Both as grown and annealed films showed smooth and amorphous structures. The closer SEM inspection revealed the presence of self assembled mesoscopic cells. The mesoscopic structure PMMA thin films could be used as an AFM-based data storage which is promising alternative to conventional magnetic data storage because it offers great potential for considerable storage density improvements.

Published: January 2020

Waste cooking oil is oil that used in household needs that have been used repeatedly and some are not suitable for consumption anymore. Waste cooking oil contains carcinogenic substances that harm the body because it can cause cancer, narrowing of blood vessels that trigger coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension. The innovation of processing used cooking oil is another product, one of which is soap making. The method that can be used is the Carbon Activated Agent (CAA) saponification process, where activated carbon is used as the neutralizing agent. CAA material combined with ocimum bacillium leaf extract in the process of making this soap can be an antiseptic substance. Ocimum bacillium leaves as a bacterial deactivated agent (BDA) have 4 dominant compounds, namely linalool, geraniol, sitral, and eugenol which function as antiseptics. The variables used in this study included variations in the addition of basil leaf extract as BDA (10%, 14%, 18%) and variations in the ratio of the amount of added KOH (20 mL, 30 mL, and 40 mL). The results showed that the addition of 18% basil extract and with the addition of KOH by 30 mL gave the greatest inhibition of bacterial growth of 1.9 cm.
Measles recognition during measles outbreak at a paediatric university hospital, Austria, January to February 2017
Authors: Kohlmaier Benno , Schweintzger Nina A , Zenz Werner
Published: January 2020

Recognition of measles is crucial to prevent transmissions in the hospital settings. Little is known about the level of recognition of measles and possible causes of not recognising the disease by physicians in the post-vaccine era. We report on a measles outbreak in a paediatric hospital in Austria in January to February 2017 with strikingly high numbers of not recognised cases. The extent and course of the outbreak were assessed via retrospective case finding. Thirteen confirmed measles cases were identified, two with atypical clinical picture. Of eight cases with no known epidemiological link, only one was diagnosed immediately; four were recognised with delay and three only retrospectively. Eleven typical measles cases had four ‘unrecognised visits’ to the outpatient clinic and 28 on the ward. Two atypical cases had two ‘unrecognised visits’ to the outpatient clinic and 19 on the ward.

Thirteen clinicians did not recognise typical measles (atypical cases not included). Twelve of 23 physicians involved had never encountered a patient with measles before. The direct and indirect costs related to the outbreak were calculated to be over EUR 80,000. Our findings suggest the need to establish regular training programmes about measles, including diagnostic pitfalls in paediatric hospitals.

Published: January 2020

Background

The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak is more widespread than initially thought, and international spread through travellers does already occur.

Aim

We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without having virus material available.

Methods

Here we present a validated diagnostic workflow for 2019-nCoV, its design relying on close genetic relatedness of 2019-nCoV with SARS coronavirus, making use of synthetic nucleic acid technology.

Results

The workflow reliably detects 2019-nCoV, and further discriminates 2019-nCoV from SARS-CoV. Through coordination between academic and public laboratories, we confirmed assay exclusivity based on 297 original clinical specimens containing a full spectrum of human respiratory viruses. Control material is made available through European Virus Archive – Global (EVAg), a European Union infrastructure project.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrates the enormous response capacity achieved through coordination of academic and public laboratories in national and European research networks.

Los Los acuerdos entre criminales y administradores de justicia penal. El arrepentido o colaborador que negocian con la justicia penal
Authors: Pablo Galaín Palermo
Published: January 2020

La política criminal diseñada por los organismos internacionales y supranacionales para la lucha contra determinados fenómenos que ponen en riesgo la seguridad pública a nivel nacional e internacional, exige a los estados nacionales que introduzcan en sus respectivas legislaciones determinadas figuras procesal penales. La lucha contra aquello que se denomina “crimen organizado” nos ha traído la figura del arrepentido o colaborador, aquel sujeto que decide abandonar una estructura criminal con forma de grupo organizado y accede a colaborar con la administración de justicia en el desmantelamiento de dicho grupo criminal. La colaboración debería ser mediante la entrega de información valiosa, aquella que no hubiera sido posible conocer de otro modo. Este acto de delación se cierra con un acuerdo que beneficia al informante con una rebaja punitiva o, incluso, con la exención de pena. Una u otra posibilidad dependerá de la discrecionalidad del fiscal que negocia el acuerdo. Este artículo se refiere al análisis crítico de dicha figura procesal penal en un contexto genealógico, filosófico, normativo y fáctico, tomando como referencia el ordenamiento jurídico penal de Uruguay.
El principio de legalidad y los límites al poder punitivo
Authors: Benente Mauro
Published: January 2020

Tanto la academia jurídica cuanto la jurisprudencia indica que el principio de legalidad es una garantía que limita el poder de castigar del Estado. En este trabajo me interesa rescatar el modo en que Raúl Zaffaroni y Luigi Ferrajoli exhiben al principio de legalidad como un dique de contención del poder de castigar. Luego, tras subrayar que el principio de legalidad fue incluido en el sistema legal por las mismas agencias que tienen el poder de castigar, realizo un abordaje de las obras de Beccaria y Feuerbach y sostengo que en sus conceptualizaciones el principio es un límite del poder de castigar, pero un límite que se ajusta perfectamente con las justificaciones del castigo.
Ni positivismo jurídico ni neoconstitucionalismo: una defensa del constitucionalismo postpositivista
Authors: Atienza Manuel
Published: January 2020

El proceso de constitucionalización en los sistemas jurídicos del mundo occidental ha generado un interesante debate; por un lado, se presenta el positivismo jurídico (con sus variantes), que principalmente entiende al Derecho como conjunto de normas, cuyo atributo más importante se halla en la autoridad y forma de su expedición, desligada totalmente de la moral; y por otro lado, el llamado “neoconstitucionalismo”, que en total oposición al anterior, ve al Derecho como un conjunto de principios (reconocidos en la Constitución), cuya aplicación es meramente valorativa y sustantiva y, por lo tanto, requiere la moral en el Derecho. Frente a estos escenarios antagónicos y hasta cierto punto insostenibles, se presenta, como alternativa, el constitucionalismo postpositivista. Éste concibe al Derecho de una manera más amplia, completa y compleja, que incluye aspectos descriptivos, normativos y valorativos, orientando la práctica del jurista en el contexto del Estado Constitucional.
¿Cómo es posible la legitimada por vía de legalidad?
Authors: Habermas Jünger
Published: January 2020

Voy a sostener la tesis de que la autonomización del sistema jurídico no puede significar una desconexión completa de derecho y moral, por un lado, y de política, por otro. El derecho, al convertirse en positivo, no rompe sus relaciones internas con la moral y la política. En la primera parte voy a bosquejar, a grandes rasgos, cómo el derecho moderno, con ayuda del Derecho Natural Racional, se diferenció del complejo tradicional que formaban moral, derecho y política. En la segunda parte me ocuparé de la cuestión de cómo del hundimiento del Derecho Natural Racional surge una idea de Estado de Derecho que de ninguna manera se limita a flotar impotentemente sobre una sociedad de alta complejidad y acelerado cambio. En Ja tercera parte, finalmente, estudiaré, desde una perspectiva interna, cómo derecho y moral se complementan hoy a la vez que se entrelazan.

Published: January 2020

Ações de reabilitação em áreas centrais urbanas através da ocupação de vazios e estruturas ociosas têm permeado as discussões sobre preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico histórico das grandes cidades.  Muitas abordagens ocorrem no sentido da preservação patrimonial e desenvolvimento urbano serem encarados como antagônicos em algumas ações que almejem o progresso municipal. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender como a requalificação de vazios urbanos, geralmente ligados à áreas devalor histórico, pode contribuir para a preservação da memória urbana e para o desenvolvimento da cidade. A observação de posturas adotadas, tanto em Curitiba como em outras cidades, bem como a revisão bibliográfica de estudos realizados nestes locais, contribuiu para a formação de um cabedal teórico que consiste na base desta produção acadêmica. Verifica-se que a gestão da cidade é uma atividade complexa, todas as ações preservacionistas - sejam elas de cunho histórico ou técnico - esbarram na figura do poder público e suas esferas de atuação política. Observa-se também que os desafios não se apresentam apenas no que compete a restauração física do patrimônio e estruturas obsoletas, mas também à articulação entre políticas urbanas que empreguem a ressignificação das mesmas, promovendo apropriação e diversidades de uso nas áreas de interesse.

Heart Rate Variability Reactivity Moderates the Indirect Link Between Child Maltreatment and Young Adult Alcohol Use Problems via Depressive Symptoms - Preprint
Authors: Liu Sihong , Oshri Assaf , Duprey Erinn
Published: January 2020

Background and Objectives. Young adults with childhood maltreatment (CM) histories are particularly vulnerable to depressive symptoms and alcohol use problems. Research suggest that maltreated youth may misuse alcohol in part to alleviate depressive symptoms. However, many youths with depressive symptoms exercise self-control and abstain from heavy alcohol use. The present study aimed to examine the influence of heart rate variability reactivity (HRV-R), a psychophysiological biomarker of self-regulation, in the indirect link between CM and alcohol use problems via depressive symptoms among low socioeconomic-status rural young adults. Methods. Two waves of data were collected from a community sample of 225 low socioeconomic-status non-metropolitan young adults (Mage = 21.56, 52.9% female). HRV data were obtained with an electrocardiogram during a social stress task. CM was assessed through the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Alcohol use problems were measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Results. The indirect effect of CM on alcohol use problems via elevated depressive symptoms was positive and significant (α*β = .159, p < .001). Self-regulation indicated by high HRV-R (i.e., vagal withdrawal) was found to significantly buffer the link between depressive symptoms and alcohol use problems (β = .193, p = .022). Discussion and Conclusions. Adequate self-regulation capacities can protect maltreated youths from self-medicating alcohol use problems. Scientific Significance. This study will advance researchers’ understanding of the development of alcohol use problems through unwrapping the risk and protective mechanisms underlying the association between young adults’ early life stress and alcohol use behaviors.

Given significant changes to legislation, practice, research, and instrumentation, the purpose of this study was to examine the course on cognitive assessment in school psychology programs and to describe the (a) structure, (b) instructional strategies, (c) content, and (d) interpretative strategies taught to school psychology graduate students. 127 instructors were surveyed, and results suggest that over the last 20 years support for teaching cognitive assessment has decreased while the content and instructional strategies have remained largely the same. Results of this study also indicate that the interpretation strategies taught rely heavily on Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory and related interpretive frameworks (e.g., cross-battery assessment). Additionally, instructors are placing greater emphasis on and multicultural sensitivity/ culturally and linguistically diverse assessment than in previous decades. Implications for future research, training and practice are discussed.
PENGARUH KONSENTRASI DAN WAKTU APLIKASI CaCl2 TERHADAP FISIKOKIMIA BUAH TOMAT (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.)
Authors: Wulandari Lina Asri , Siswoyo Tri Agus , Hariyono Kacung
Published: January 2020

Tomato was classified as a climacteric fruit with a fast ripening period andthen followed by the increase of fruit softening. The inhibition of fruit softening was needed to maintain the quality and shelf life of the fruit. One of the way to inhibit the tomatoes softening was calcium application. However, the best concentration and timing of calcium application for tomato was still limited. The aimed of research was to determine the best combination of concentration and time of application of calcium chloride (CaCl2) to the physicochemical of tomato. Experiment was arranged in factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and three replications. First factor was concentration of CaCl2 which consisted of 5 levels (0 M; 0.3 M; 0.6 M; 0.9 M; 1.2 M), while the second factor was application time of CaCl2 (pre- and post-harvesting). The results showed that there was no interaction between concentration and application time of CaCl2 to the physicochemical of tomatoes. Treatment of CaCl2 1.2 M could increased fruit calcium content, inhibited weight loss and fruit softness, increased total titrated acid content, and inhibited the degradation of vitamin C. The application time of CaCl2 in pre- and post-harvest was not significantly different in term of physicochemical properties. Keywords: fruit softness, quality, weight loss, shelf life, vitamin C
Validating the Police Legitimacy Scale with a Canadian Sample
Authors: Ewanation Logan , Bennell Craig , Blaskovits Brittany , Baldwin Simon
Published: January 2020

For years, scholars and law enforcement agencies have been interested in examining the public’s perceptions of police legitimacy. However, previous studies have operationalized “police legitimacy” in a wide variety of ways. In an attempt to standardize this construct, Tankebe, Reisig, and Wang (2016) recently developed and validated the Police Legitimacy Scale using samples from the United States and Ghana. To determine the validity of this scale in a Canadian context, we had 2,962 Canadian community members complete a demographics survey as well as Tankebe et al.’s (2016) Police Legitimacy Scale. Descriptive statistics suggest the majority of responses to the scale do not differ across demographic factors, such as gender or race. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis indicate the previously proposed four-factor model of police legitimacy (lawfulness, procedural fairness, distributive fairness, and effectiveness) strongly fits participants’ responses.
Exploration des facteurs associés à la confiance des Autochtones envers la police au Canada : la pertinence du modèle expressif
Authors: David Jean-Denis
Published: January 2020

L’article explore les facteurs associés aux variations du niveau de confiance des Autochtones envers la police au Canada. Dans une démarche comparative, il examine également la saillance de ces facteurs chez les non-Autochtones. Pour ce faire, l’étude a eu recours aux données de l’Enquête sociale générale de 2014. Les résultats suggèrent que la confiance des Autochtones envers la police est associée non seulement à leurs perceptions face au crime, mais également à leurs perceptions face à l’état du lien social dans leur communauté de manière plus générale. Plus important encore, cette confiance serait associée à leur perception face au traitement équitable des citoyens par la police. Les résultats suggèrent également la saillance de ces facteurs chez les non-Autochtones. Ainsi, les pratiques policières ne devraient pas se limiter à la répression du crime, mais aussi chercher à assurer le bien-être des communautés dans un sens plus large et à promouvoir la perception d’un traitement équitable des citoyens. Or, ces pratiques semblent être perçues par les Autochtones comme étant particulièrement déficientes. Ceci expliquerait en partie pourquoi leur niveau de confiance dans la police est plus faible que celui des non-Autochtones.
Préserver le sentiment de continuité d’existence du bébé dans les situations complexes médico-psycho-sociales : nouveau défi pour le corps soignant
Authors: Kojayan R. , Vasseur R. , Doublet C. , Baille N. , Havasi K. , Roy J.
Published: January 2020

Les publications de plus en plus nombreuses sur l’épigénétique valident, jour après jour, une démarche d’accompagnement pluridisciplinaire coordonnée et personnalisée, pour modifier positivement et précocement l’environnement de l’enfant et de ses parents. Le défi est de réussir à intégrer toutes ces dimensions avec rigueur et respect mutuel des places et des compétences de chacun, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit de situations à risque médicopsychosocial extrêmes. L’antériorité des collaborations médicopsychologiques ainsi que l’action soutenue des réseaux périnataux* ont préparé le terrain du décloisonnement des pratiques entre les disciplines concernées, tant dans le secteur public que libéral. Sous l’impulsion d’un pédopsychiatre, d’une psychomotricienne et d’une orthophoniste en lien étroit avec les trois sites de naissance de la ville, soit 9 000 naissances par année, une expérience de prise en charge précoce des bébés issus de ces situations extrêmes a pu voir le jour en pratique libérale, articulée avec le CHU. Le recul actuel est de huit années. D’emblée, le regard d’un médecin rééducateur extérieur** a considérablement enrichi l’approche portée sur le développement précoce. Sans se polariser sur les facteurs de risque, l’attention a changé d’axe par une observation fine des stades précoces du développement du bébé jusqu’à 18 mois. L’accent a été mis sur l’analyse de la posture et l’activité motrice spontanée, en particulier la période des mouvements généraux dont on sait l’importance pour le devenir : observer avec les parents les modalités d’organisation précoce du bébé face à l’environnement, partager avec eux et avec les professionnels concernés ce qui se dégage dans la dynamique du bébé et les éventuels aménagements à proposer. Cette observation conjointe avec les parents les plus fragiles a ouvert des pistes pour définir le concept de continuité et optimiser les suivis.
Le sentiment de continuité en périnatalité. Concepts et outils : une élaboration progressive
Authors: Molénat F. , Morard-Dubey A. , Roegiers L.
Published: January 2020

Examiner les modalités actuelles de continuité périnatale dans l’organisation des soins amène à retrouver l’origine du concept « sentiment continu d’exister » à divers moments de l’histoire des idées, puis à celle des pratiques. Socle dans la construction de l’humain, les moyens de l’assurer chez l’enfant en construction mettent en jeu de multiples facteurs. La pénétration de la théorie de l’attachement dans la culture médicale et psychologique en a favorisé la diffusion. D’abord étudié au sein de la dyade mère–bébé, le cadre d’analyse s’est élargi à la place du père, et à l’environnement professionnel dans sa proximité avec les parents et l’enfant aux étapes précoces de la vie, marquées par la médicalisation des décennies précédentes. De ce fait, le monde obstétricopédiatrique s’est complexifié. Les nouvelles technologies de soins ont confronté les équipes à des charges émotionnelles incontournables. C’est dans le rapprochement des disciplines concernées par le devenir de l’enfant, tant sur le plan somatique que psychoaffectif, qu’ont pu se repérer les fossés au sein du monde professionnel. Ces écarts tiennent à la matérialité des organisations, aux conditions d’exercice fort distantes, aux cultures monodisciplinaires jusqu’alors exclusives, ainsi qu’aux langages et aux objectifs distincts. L’impact des attitudes et pratiques médicales et psychosociales en ces moments sensibles est devenu objet de recherche. Chaque terrain développe ses stratégies, aidé selon les sites par une politique de soins telle que la création des réseaux périnatals en France. Une étroite collaboration entre trois équipes française, suisse et belge a permis depuis deux décennies de coanimer l’analyse minutieuse des processus de changement psychoémotionnel chez les futurs parents, et leur retentissement sur l’enfant en devenir, à la lumière des nouvelles modalités d’accompagnement pluriprofessionnel dans la succession des étapes. Même si les politiques de santé diffèrent, un état d’esprit commun s’est dégagé, ménageant l’inventivité et le rythme de chaque site. Un effort de publication et d’enseignement s’est mené ensemble. Le schéma « APRC » (Accompagnement personnalisé en réseau coordonné), élaboré au fil des années grâce aux propositions de praticiens engagés, aux recommandations administratives, aux échanges entre régions et pays, dessine un ensemble de dispositifs légers qui organisent la communication au sein du réseau professionnel. Les éléments de discontinuité sont présents, nécessaires, et témoignent de la diversification des rôles au fil des étapes. Mais ils s’intègrent dans un contexte environnemental toujours en mouvement, formant une toile protectrice et souple autour des personnes qui pourront s’y appuyer. Mis en forme sur le site de Montpellier, l’APRC a bénéficié récemment d’une étude comparative qui en confirme l’efficacité. Il constitue une étape dans l’effort de prévention précoce, susceptible d’améliorations permanentes.
The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in north-central New Mexico–Linking Colorado Plateau stratigraphy to the stratigraphy of the High Plains
Authors: Lucas Spencer
Published: January 2020

Most study of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation has focused on its spectacular and extensive outcrops on the southern Colorado Plateau. Nevertheless, outcrops of the Morrison Formation extend far off the Colorado Plateau, onto the southern High Plains as far east as western Oklahoma. Outcrops of the Morrison Formation east of and along the eastern flank of the Rio Grande rift in north-central New Mexico (Sandoval, Bernalillo, and San­ta Fe Counties) are geographically intermediate between the Morrison Formation outcrops on the southeastern Colorado Plateau in northwestern New Mexico and on the southern High Plains of eastern New Mexico. Previous lithostratigraphic correlations between the Colorado Plateau and High Plains Morrison Formation outcrops using the north-central New Mexico sections encompassed a geographic gap in outcrop data of about 100 km. New data on previously unstudied Morrison Formation outcrops at Placitas in Sandoval County and south of Lamy in Santa Fe County reduce that gap and significantly add to stratigraphic coverage. At Placitas, the Morrison Formation is about 141 m thick, in the Lamy area it is about 232 m thick, and, at both locations, it consists of the (ascending) sandstone-dominated Salt Wash Member, mudstone-dominated Brushy Basin Member, and sandstone-dominat­ed Jackpile Member. Correlation of Morrison strata across northern New Mexico documents the continuity of the Morrison depositional systems from the Colorado Plateau eastward onto the southern High Plains. Along this transect, there is significant stratigraphic relief on the base of the Salt Wash Member (J-5 unconformity), the base of the Jackpile Member, and the base of the Cretaceous strata that overlie the Morrison Formation (K unconfor­mity). Salt Wash Member deposition was generally by easterly-flowing rivers, and this river system continued well east of the Colorado Plateau. The continuity of the Brushy Basin Member, and its characteristic zeolite-rich clay facies, onto the High Plains suggests that localized depositional models (e.g., “Lake T’oo’dichi’) need to be re-eval­uated. Instead, envisioning Brushy Basin Member deposition on a vast muddy floodplain, with some localized lacustrine and palustrine depocenters, better interprets its distribution and facies.
A photo documentation of bipedal ornithischian dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation, USA

Published: January 2020

Bipedal ornithischian dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation are rare, forming only about 15% of the dinosaur specimens. Nevertheless, one of them was among the first dinosaurs named from what was then the ‘’Atlantosaurus Beds’’ of Colorado. Collecting and restudy for 140 years has in­creased the diversity from the initial 1877 discovery to the currently valid four genera and six species, viz., Fruitadens haagaroum, Nanosaurus agilis, Camptosaurus dispar, C. aphanoecetes, Dryosaurus altus, and D. elderae, which we briefly review. We demonstrate that the enigmatic Nanosaurus agilis is the senior name for Drinker nisti, Othnielosaurus consors, and Othnielia rex. In addition, a new species, Dryosaurus elderae is proposed for the Dryosaurus specimens from Dinosaur National Monument that are characterized by elongate cervical verebrae and a long, low ilium among other features.
Soft-bodied fossil of a lizard from the Parachute Creek Member, Green River Formation (Eocene), Utah
Authors: Carpenter Kenneth
Published: January 2020

A rare specimen of soft tissue preservation of a lizard from the Parachute Creek Member of the Eocene Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah, is described. The preservation is unusual in that it is a miner­alized body lacking the skeleton. This, and other small boneless vertebrate specimens also from the Para­chute Creek, indicate occasional demineralizing conditions in Lake Uinta, but not apparently in the other two lakes of the Green River Formation—Fossil Lake and Lake Gosuite.
Assemblage-level structure in Morrison Formation dinosaurs, Western Interior, USA

­The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation is both geographically extensive and well-sampled, making it an ideal candidate for biogeographic analysis at both coarse and finer scales. Historically, however, this has not translated into a consensus on patterns of ecological structure and connectivity, particularly with regard to the characteristic dinosaur faunas. Here, we use both traditional (genus richness, alpha and beta diversity) and bipartite network-based (biogeographic connectivity, local endemism, and average occurrence) measures to examine patterns of structure on a per-locality basis. Given the broad geographic range of the formation, we subdivide the Morrison Formation into four discrete regions based roughly on latitude and lithology—north (Montana, South Dakota, and northern Wyoming), west (Utah and western Colorado), east (central and eastern Colorado and southern Wyoming), and south (Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma). Further investigation revealed many coeval sites (ca. 152 Ma) in the east and west regions. Presence-absence data were also compared using network analysis to determine the presence and content of discrete subassemblages within the larger region-level assemblages. Based on our results, we favor reconstructions of the Morrison Formation as a ‘mosaic’ type environment over most of its depositional history, with patches of open environments interspersed with more closed, forested regions. ­is is suggested by relatively low rates of local endemism (patches are consistent in plant and animal structure) and connectivity across the majority of the formation, as well as the recovery of three non-overlapping assemblages dominated by dierent guilds of herbivorous dinosaurs.

AbstractThe revitalization program initiated by the Peatland Restoration Agency of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with the Disaster Study Center of LPPM Universitas Riau is now providing new livelihood alternatives through aquaculture by utilizing the potential of local fish. This effort is at the same time to fulfill the high demand for fish in Lukun Village which is not balanced with insufficient fishing catches. Slowly, people are starting to be interested in fish farming, although not yet wholeheartedly. The interest of rubber farmers in the cultivation of local peat swamps is part of maintaining the sustainability of peat as indicated by their involvement in every activity of maintenance, maintenance and manufacture of fish pellets. In addition, this type of livelihood does not interfere with or become a threat to peat so that when there are many interested rubber farmers it will not be a problem. In addition to being offered by cultivating fish farmers are also given training to be able to produce fish pellet materials independently in order to minimize the cost of fish feed at once if the excess yield can be marketed.

 

Penelitian ini mengamati pola perubahan mata pencaharian petani karet pasca kebakaran di tahun 2015. Program revitalisasi yang digagas oleh Badan Restorasi Gambut Republik Indonesia bekerjasama dengan Pusat Studi Bencana LPPM Universitas Riau kini memberi alternatif mata pencaharian baru melalui budidaya perikanan dengan memanfaatkan potensi ikan lokal. Upaya ini sekaligus untuk memenuhi tingginya kebutuhan ikan di Desa Lukun yang tidak diimbangi dengan hasil tangkapan nelayan yang tidak mencukupi. Secara perlahan masyarakat mulai tertarik untuk budidaya ikan meskipun belum sepenuh hati. Ketertarikan petani karet terhadap budidaya ikan lokal rawa gambut merupakan bagian dari menjaga kelestarian gambut ditunjukkan dengan keterlibatan mereka dalam setiap kegiatan pemeliharaan, perawatan, dan pembuatan pelet ikan. Di samping itu jenis mata pencaharian ini tidak mengganggu atau menjadi ancaman bagi gambut sehingga apabila nantinya banyak petani-petani karet yang tertarik maka tidak akan menjadi sebuah masalah. Selain ditawarkan dengan membudidayakan ikan petani juga diberi pelatihan untuk dapat memproduksi bahan pelet ikan secara mandiri agar dapat meminimalkan biaya pakan ikan sekaligus bila berlebih hasilnya dapat dipasarkan.
