THE BLACK-SHANK OF TOBACCO IN PORTO RICO
Authors: Nolla J. A. B.
Published: October 2020

1. A disease known in Porto Rico as "pata-prieta" and probably the same as the black-shank from the Southern United States and the "Lanas" or "bibit" of the Dutch East Indies has been destructive in Porto Rico during the last few year's on tobacco. 2. The pathogene which is responsible for this disease may also attack Ricinus communis, potato plants, pepper, tomato and eggplant seedlings under certain conditions in Porto Rico. 3. A non-commercial variety of tobacco (mammoth-type) proved to be the most susceptible of all varieties to the malady. Of the two important commercial cigar-wrapper varietie's in Porto Rico, one was found to be very susceptible and the other very resistant; while all the cigar-filler varieties were slightly susceptible. New strains of a Porto Rican variety of cigar-wrapper tobacco have exhibited a high resistance. 4. First generation populations of crosses between a very susceptible variety and other susceptible or slightly resistant types were very snsceptible to the attacks of the pathogene. On the other hand, those crosses of resistant varieties with susceptible ones were more resistant than the susceptible parent. 5. The symptoms of the disease are produced on plants of all ages. A bed rot and seedling blight, a rotting of transplants, a blackening of the basal parts of the stems of plants of all ages and a leaf spot on big plants, are the most important morphological symptoms. 6. The causal organism also produces a severe rotting of seedlings in the seedbeds. 7. The black-shank pathogene was the cause of a disease of transplants called "hinchado" (water-soaked or swollen). 8. The causal pathogene is here given as Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan. The organism from Porto Rico appears to be morphologically different from that of Florida. The Porto Rican fungus is, therefore, considered a different strain. The Porto Rico and the Florida strains were not compared culturally or morphologically with the strain from Sumatra. 9. The Florida strain does not differ from the Porto Rican strain essentially in cultural characteristics or in pathogenicity. 10. The size of chlamydospores is of no value in the separation of the strains. Use was made only of the size of sporangia. 11. Moisture is a dominating factor in outbreaks of damping-off caused by the black-shank pathogene. 12. Irrigation water is an important agent in the transportation of the pathogene from one field to the other. 13. P. nicotianae lives in the soil as a saprophyte on plant debris, old tobacco stems or manure. 14. As control measures are recommended: (a) the removal of diseased individuals, (b) the rigid selection of seedlings before setting out in the field, (c) the dipping of healthy seedling's obtained from a diseased bed in a 4-4-50 or a 5-5-50 Bordeaux mixture before transplanting, (d) the selection and breeding of resistant varieties. 15. The treatment of the soil with Bordeaux mixture was not effective in preventing the disease.

Published: October 2020

Mass media often perceived Asian Culture as a powerless culture. Just like in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film that criticizing Asian culture. This study aimed to unveil the social criticism of Asian culture depicted on To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. This qualitative study using Popular Culture Theory with Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis method by three elements of analysis (denotation, connotation, and myth). This study unveiled that the social criticism of Asian culture is linked with its collectivistic culture and interdependent characteristic, also overly-controlled Asian parents. This study also found the shift and consolidation of myth of Asian culture. Other than that, social criticism of Asian culture depicted on the film is the form of low culture and used as the asset to gain profit. Therefore, Asian culture has been marginalized and wrapped as a form of commercialized culture.

This article covers both patient safety issues and optimising medicine use, this national initiative is known as Transfers of Care around Medicine (TCAM). When a patient moves from one care setting to another, this is known as a transfer of care. When transfers of care occur there is an increased risk of adverse effects due, in part, to medication errors arising. This article asserts that a relatively small investment can generate significant cost avoidances; thereby delivering significant financial, economic and social benefits to the health community as well as enhancing patient safety.
Lhermitte-duclos disease (dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma): a case report
Authors: Aribah Atiq  , Usman Hassan  , Noreen Akhtar  , Sajid Mushtaq
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a relatively uncommon condition of the cerebellum. It is generally characterised as a hamartomatous lesion of posterior fossa and is common in the third and fourth decades of life. According to the World Health Organisation, it is classified as a grade I tumour with potential for recurrence. Otherwise, this disease is generally associated with good prognosis. Malignant transformation of LDD has not yet been reported. However, genetic counselling of the patient is recommended with active surveillance. Since LDD is believed to be a pathognomonic feature of Cowden syndrome, which is a multi-system autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterised by multiple hamartomas and an elevated risk of benign and malignant neoplasms, we decided to report this important entity considering its rarity and high clinical significance.

Aflatoxin M1 in Milk of Cow in Relation to Lactation Period and Yields
Authors: Tudu Smita , Ranjan Ashish , Kumari Priyanka , Choudhary A. K.
Published: October 2020

Aflatoxin produced from few molds as Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus and A. nomius is highly carcinogenic, mutagenic to the animals and humans. These molds are present in the dietary intake of cattle feed. Present investigation was performed to observe the carryover of AFB1 to the milk toxin of lactating cows. Cows during early lactation stage yields more milk compared to late lactating stage, hence, the same cows were used to keep the variable of physiology of cows as nearly constant. AFM1 concentration was found independent to the intake of AFB1 with the compound foods ingested by cows. Carryover of aflatoxin was observed comparatively less in case of cows of late lactation stage. With the yield of milk per day (milking twice), the carryover rate also varied. AFM1 concentration was observed within the limit as set by EU. Frequent evaluation and testing of milk is necessary.

Published: October 2020

Climate change is one of the most important issues among researchers, scientists,
planners and politicians in the present times. Of all the climatic elements, temperature plays a major role in detecting climatic change. In this paper, MannKendall rank tests, Sen’s slope estimator and Lag-one serial correlation are used to demonstrate any existence of possible temperature trends in Ranchi and Lohardaga district of Jharkhand by analyzing the time series data of annual, seasonal and monthly average, maximum and minimum temperature from 1901 to 2002. The statistical tests are applied to monthly, seasonal and annual average minimum and maximum temperatures records. The analysis indicates that the average, maximum and minimum annual temperature records have a warming trend over the period 1901 to 2002. The study of linear trend indicated increasing
trends in annual maximum, annual minimum and annual average temperatures. During 1901–2002 annual average, annual maximum and annual minimum temperatures increased about 0.0030C, 0.0020C to 0.0040C and 0.0030C respectively.

Published: October 2020

A 60-day experiment was conducted to optimize fish and plant component ratio in a recirculating aquaponic system. Three different fish: plant component ratio of Rohu (Labeo rohita) spawn to Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) plant viz. T1 (40 spawn:10 plants), T2 (40 spawn:14 plants) and T3 (40 spawn:18 plants) were assigned as treatments. All the
treatments were compared for fish growth, plant growth, and various water quality parameters were observed to determine the best component ratio which maintains better water quality and gives better growth. Among all the treatments, the higher growth rate of fish was observed in T2 (5.08±0.12) followed by treatment T3>T2>C. At the end,
the total production of spinach in terms of weight was 508.10±8.89 g in T2 followed by treatments T3 and T1. Based on the results, the fish: plants component ratio of 40 spawn:14 plants can be recommended for production of rohu seed and spinach in recirculating aquaponic system

ABSTRAK

Kabupaten Lampung Timur merupakan kabupaten dimana masih banyak masyarakat yang memiliki tingakat ekonomi dan pendidikan yang rendah, sehingga banyak menjadi sasaran korban pedagangan orang. Upaya penanggulangan tindak pidana perdagangan wanita yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Kabupaten Lampung Timur adalah upaya penanggulangan secara non penal yaitu dengan adanya dukungan program melalui Pendidikan Kecakapan Hidup, sosialisasi dan kampanye Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Orang dan Eksploitasi Seksual Anak melalui media elektronik, media cetak, media tradisional, dan melalui komunitas. Faktor penghambat dalam upaya penanggulangan tindak pidana perdagangan wanita adalah adanya kesulitan dalam upaya penegakan hukumpidana tergadap pelaku perdagangan wanita karena bentuk kejahatannya yang tersembunyi dan terorganisir serta sulit melakukan pendataan terhadap jumlah korban, karena korban sendiri tidak mau melaporkan kejahatan yang dialaminya. Sehingga penegak hukum sulit untuk mencari alat bukti dari saksi/korban.

ABSTRACT

Multi Level Marketing (MLM) better known as MLM is, "A direct sales system, where goods are marketed by consumers directly from producers. Consumers who simultaneously market goods receive bonus rewards. These bonuses are taken from the profits of each buyer introduced by first buyer based on regulated provisions "365. Because it is believed to be able to provide substantial profits to companies, today, various types of goods are widely marketed using MLM marketing patterns, jewelry. computer programs, supplement drinks, cosmetics, Islamic tapes and others. Transactions with this MLM system have penetrated the middle of humans and have a lot to color the atmosphere of the community market. So as a Muslim businessman, it is obligatory to know the legal transactions with this MLM system before struggling in it and the scholars have disagreed about the law. That a Muslim trader should know the Shari'a laws regarding the rules of trading or transactions and know the forms of buying and selling that are prohibited in religion. The lack of knowledge about this will cause a person to fall into error and sin. As we have witnessed the spread of usury practices, consuming human property in a vanity way, damaging market prices and so on from forms of damage that harm society, even harming the state.

Setiap manusia menginginkan kebahagiaan, salah satu kebahagiaanyang dapat dicapai adalah dengan cara menikah, akan tetapi membina keluargayang harmonis tidaklah mudah, karena akan muncul berbagai permasalahan dalamrumah tangga. Dan apabila masalah tersebut tidak dapat terselesaikan, makapercerain menjadi satu-satunya jalan keluar yang terakhir. Dengan terjadinyaperceraian, akan ada masa tunggu bagi perempuan yang disebut masa iddah, dimana dalam masa iddah ini, istri wajib mendapatkan haknya seperti hak nafkah.Fiqh madzhab (Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi’i dan Hambali) sepakat bahwaperempuan yang diceraikan dalam bentuk talak raj’i, berhak mendapatkan nafkahdan tempat tinggal selama masa iddah. Berbeda dengan Peraturan PemerintahNomor 10 Tahun 1983 tentang Izin Perkawinan dan Perceraian Pegawai NegeriSipil, yang mengatur tentang nafkah dalam hal ini adalah pasal 8 tentangpembagian gaji, yang diberikan mantan suaminya terhadap mantan istrinyatersebut.Berdasarkan pernyataan di atas, maka kajian terhadap hak nafkah jandayang tidak menikah lagi menjadi menarik dan sangat penting, hal ini dikarenakanadanya perbedaan antara hukum Islam (pendapat fiqh mazhab) dengan peraturanpemerintah. Dalam hal ini penulis ingin meneliti lebih dalam tentang persamaandan perbedaan diantara keduannya.Jenis penelitian yang penulis gunakan adalah penelitian pustaka (libraryresearch), dengan objek penelitiannya adalah pendapat fiqh madzhab danperaturan pemerintah.

Abstract

 The concept of da'wah is not only related to the problem of how to speak effectively but also the ethics of speech. Since entering the era of reform, Indonesian society has been in a state of euphoria, free to talk about anything, to anyone, in any way. Al-Qur'an refers to speaking as one of human nature. Especially when discussing or delivering religious law. Although the edited command was edited to the Prophet, but the message contained in the verse can be generally applied to every Muslim who undertakes deliberation or preaching. It is required in the verse about the attitude that must be done to succeed in deliberation or in delivering religious law, preaching at its origin it is difficult to be accepted by the souls of infidels, when delivered in a bad way, a rude way, of course it will only make people run away from the truth (da'wah). For this reason, da'wah basically must be conveyed in a gentle way.

A complexidade das atividades de ensino e aprendizagem, de qualquer que seja a área do conhecimento, exige que se tenha um mínimo de clareza a respeito do objeto de estudo, para que se busque formas compatíveis de ensinar com o conceito que se tem desse objeto, e que conduzam aos objetivos pedagógicos estabelecidos, contribuindo à aprendizagem desejada. É, portanto, pertinente para o ensino de Matemática uma reflexão sobre seus fundamentos e sua trajetória histórica, visto que essa concepção traz reflexos importantes à maneira de ensiná-la. Apesar de essencial, essa reflexão pode não ser trivial ao professorado. Este artigo se dedica a expor olhares de professores em formação continuada sobre a pertinência deste tema à formação docente, com base nos dados obtidos com a realização de um seminário sobre as escolas filosóficas da Matemática à luz da revisão bibliográfica sobre suas principais características e reflexos no processo de ensinar.

Liquidity risk regulation and its practical implications for banks: the introduction and effects of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Authors: Tammenga Alette , Haarman Pieter
Published: October 2020

Following the financial crisis, quantitative liquidity risk regulation was introduced by means of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). This literature study aims to investigate whether the introduction of the LCR leads to better liquidity risk management in banks. It elaborates on the drivers and definition of liquidity risk as well as the history, benefits and goals of this regulation. It also delves into the exact composition of the ratio and the assumptions used. The impact on bank lending as well as banks' business model and risk management is addressed, as well as the interaction with monetary policy operations and capital regulation. This paper then describes the operational differences that were observed after the implementation, and behavioral aspects. We also address the Net stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) and the discussion on interaction between the two indicators and possible redundancy. We have found that the introduction of the LCR leads to better management of liquidity risk for most financial institutions, but more harmonious implementation throughout the sector could reduce liquidity risk even further.

Educational Disparity in Nigeria: A Gendered Analysis
Authors: Oluwayemisi Ajoke Adepoju , Bonny Ibhawoh , Oluyemi Oyenike Fayomi
Published: October 2020

This paper examines the inequalities and discrimination from which the female gender suffers. It is a major infringement of the rights of women and girls and therefore a major challenge to the development process. Gender can be referred to as the social and cultural construction of females’ identities in a given society which leads to socially constructed roles, responsibilities, obligations and attributes about the relationships between men and women. This study observes that to encourage gender equality and parity in learning, Nigeria must aim its struggles not merely towards education itself, but also towards the society’s cultural and utilitarian framework.

Abstract. Anthropogenic activities on the Indo-Gangetic Plain emit vast amounts of light-absorbing particles (LAP) into the atmosphere, modifying the atmospheric radiation scheme. With transport to the nearby Himalayan mountains and deposition to its surfaces the particles contribute to glacier and snowmelt via darkening of the highly reflective snow. The Central Himalayas have been identified as a region where LAP are especially pronounced in glacier snow, but still remain a region where measurements of LAP in the snow are scarce. Here we study the deposition of LAP in five snow pits sampled in 2016 (and one from 2015) from two glaciers in the Sunderdhunga valley, state of Uttarakhand, India, Central Himalaya. The snow pits display a distinct melt layer interleaved by younger snow above, and older snow below. The LAP exhibit a large vertical distribution in these different snow layers. For the analyzed elemental carbon (EC), the younger snow layers in the different pits show similarities, and can be characterized by a deposition constant of about 50 µg m−2 mm−1 while the old snow layers also indicate similar values, and can be described with deposition constant of roughly 150 µg m−2 mm−1. The melt layer, contrarily, display no similar trends between the pits. Instead, it is characterized by very high amounts of LAP, and differ in orders of magnitude for concentration between the pits. The melt layer is likely a result of strong melting that took place during the summers of 2015 and 2016. The mineral dust fractional absorption is slightly below 50 % for the young and old snow layer, whereas in the melt layer is the dominating light absorbing constituent, thus, highlighting the importance of dust in the region. Our results indicate the problems with complex topography in the Himalaya, but nonetheless, can be useful in large-scale assessments of LAP in Himalayan snow.
Simulated stability of the AMOC during the Last Glacial Maximum
under realistic boundary conditions

Published: October 2020

Abstract. The response of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to freshwater perturbations critically depends on its mean-state. Large swaths of icebergs melting in the North Atlantic during the last deglaciation constituted such perturbations, and thus can provide important constraints on the stability of the AMOC. Yet, the mean AMOC state during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), preceding the rapid disintegration of the ice-sheets during the deglaciation, as well as its response to these perturbations remain debated. Here we investigate the evolution of the AMOC responding to freshwater perturbations under improved LGM boundary conditions in the Bern3D intermediate complexity model. Particularly, we consider the effect of an open versus a closed Bering Strait. The vigorous and deep AMOC under these glacial boundary conditions, consistent with previous simulations with different models, reacts more strongly to North Atlantic freshwater forcings than under pre-industrial conditions. This increased sensitivity is mostly related to the closed Bering Strait that cuts off the freshwater escape route through the Arctic into the Pacific, thus facilitating faster accumulation of freshwater in the North Atlantic halting deep water formation. Proxy reconstructions of the LGM AMOC instead indicate a weaker and possibly shallower AMOC than today, in conflict with the particularly strong and deep circulation states coherently simulated with ocean circulation models for the LGM. Simulations with reduced North Atlantic deep water formation, as a consequence of potentially increased continental runoff from ice-sheet melt and imposed changes in the hydrological cycle, more closely resemble the overturning circulation inferred from proxies. These circulation states also show bistable behavior, where the AMOC does not recover after North Atlantic freshwater hosing. However, no AMOC states are found here that either comprise an extreme shoaling or vigorous and concurrent shallow overturning as previously proposed based on paleoceanographic data.
Assessing atmospheric moisture effects on heavy precipitation during HyMeX IOP16 using GPS nudging and dynamical downscaling
Authors: Caldas-Alvarez Alberto , Khodayar Samiro
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Gaining insight into the interaction between atmospheric moisture and convection is determinant for improving the model representation of heavy
precipitation, a weather phenomenon that causes casualties and monetary losses in the western Mediterranean region every year. Given the large
variability of atmospheric moisture, an accurate representation of its distribution is expected to reduce the errors related to the representation
of moist convective processes. In this study, we use a diagnostic approach to assess the sensitivity of convective precipitation and underlying
mechanisms during a heavy precipitation event (Hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean eXperiment Intensive Observation Period; HyMeX IOP16) to
variations of the atmospheric moisture spatio-temporal distribution. Sensitivity experiments are carried out by nudging a homogenized data set of the
Global Positioning System-derived zenith total delay (GPS-ZTD) with sub-hourly temporal resolution (10 min) in 7 and 2.8 km simulations
with the COnsortium for Small-scale MOdeling in CLimate Mode (COSMO-CLM) model over the western Mediterranean region. The analysis shows that
(a) large atmospheric moisture amounts (integrated water vapour; IWV ∼ 40 mm) precede heavy precipitation in the affected areas. This
occurs 12 h prior to initiation over southern France and 4 h over Sardinia, north-eastern Italy and Corsica, which is our main study
area. (b) We found that the moisture is swept from the Atlantic by a westerly large-scale front associated with an upper level low on the one hand
and evaporated from the Mediterranean Sea and north Africa on the other. The latter moisture transport occurs in the 1 to 4 km
layer. (c) COSMO-CLM overestimated the atmospheric humidity over the study region (Corsica), and this was, to a good extent, corrected by the GPS-ZTD
nudging. This reduced maximum precipitation (−49 % for 7 km and −16 % for 2.8 km) drastically, considerably improving the
precipitation representation in the 7 km simulation. The convection-permitting simulation (2.8 km) without the GPS-ZTD nudging already did a
good job in representing the precipitation amount. (d) The two processes that exerted the largest control on precipitation reduction were the
decrease of atmospheric instability over Corsica (convective available potential energy; CAPE −35 %) and the drying of the lower free
troposphere bringing additional dry air entrainment. In addition, the 7 km simulation showed a weakening of the represented low-pressure system
and the associated cyclonic wind circulation. This ultimately reduced the intensity and number of convective updrafts represented over the island.
These results highlight the large impact exerted by moisture corrections on precipitating convection and the chain of processes leading to it across
scales.

Published: October 2020

In Latin America 96% of the cases of schistosomiasis occur in Brazil in low-socioeconomic status populations. The epidemiological characteristics and occurrence predictors of Schistosoma mansoni infection were determined in the Bananeiras community, located in Capistrano, a town in Ceará state, Brazil. Sanitary, environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. An investigation to assess S. mansoni infection was conducted using the Kato-Katz and Point-of-Care Circulating Cathodic Antigen (POC-CCA) methods. From the 258 subjects were analyzed, 54.3% (n=140) were women, median age 30 years. Thirty-three (12.8%) individuals were positive by either egg- and/or CCA-positivity. The highest positivity rate was found in the 30-39 year old group. There was no piped water supply, sewage network or municipal refuse collection service. Most individuals were illiterate or had not finished elementary school (66.3%). About 29.1% of the families had a monthly income below one Brazilian minimum wage and 91.1% reported contact with natural water sources. We found an association between infection and age group of 20-40 years, illiteracy, household with 7 inhabitants or more, household with up to 3 rooms and an outhouse. Contrarily, being 40 years old or older and household with up to 6 inhabitants were not risk factors. Schistosomiasis remains a public health problem in this municipality, evidencing a strong association with low socioeconomic conditions and high vulnerability. These findings reinforce the importance of identifying the factors associated with the infection for more effective guidance in actions in control programs targeting schistosomiasis prevention and control.

The impact of using online social media networks on employees’ productivity in higher educational institutions
Authors: Aljaaidi Khaled Salmen
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the online social media networks (OSMNs) on productivity at workplace among 88 administrative staff at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaiziz University for the academic year 2020-2021. This study finds that using online social media networks by PSAU’s employees at the workplace enhances their productivity. The majority of the employees (59%) perceive that using the OSMNs at workplace have a positive impact on their productivity. In addition, the majority of the employees (33%) regu-larly use WhatsApp as a useful online social media network at the workplace. The results also indicate that the majority of the employees (66%) use the OSMNs at workplace more than once a day. Further, the majority of the PSAU’s employees (39%) use the OSMNs at work-place less than half an hour per a day. Furthermore, 39% of the PSAU’s employees use the OSMNs at workplace to keep in touch with their families and friends, and 34% of the employees use the OSMNs to search for work-related information. The results of this study should be useful to policy makers in Saudi Arabia at the country, ministry of education, PSAU, and elsewhere in gaining a deeper understanding on how using the OSMNs at work-place can enhances the employees’ productivity.
A Contrastive Study of Discourse Construction Features of Abstracts of Chinese and Foreign English Academic Papers From the Perspective of Contrastive Rhetoric
Authors: Yang Yilun , Chen Liping
Published: October 2020

Abstract is responsible for introducing research, attracting readers and other multiple functions, and has its own unique characteristics of discourse construction. Through objective analysis of the characteristics of discourse construction in abstracts published by Chinese and foreign scholars in international English journals, the accuracy of the expression of the articles can be increased. The author builds his own corpus and makes a contrastive analysis of the frequency, types and distribution of fuzzy restrictive language in each step of English abstracts in Chinese and foreign journals, and summarizes the unique short language types and textual functions of each step. The results show that the distribution trend of hedges in the fourth step of English abstracts in Chinese and foreign journals is generally the same, but there are significant differences in the types of use and the frequency of occurrence. Therefore, in English abstract writing, Chinese authors should properly use various types of rhetorical devices to enhance the diversity of language expression, so as to better obtain the recognition of readers.
