Rare European donacid beetle Macroplea appendiculata PANZER, 1794 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Donaciinae) common in Polish fish ponds
Authors: Ścibior Radosław , Stryjecki Robert , Nieoczym Marek , Bezdĕk Jan
Published: May 2018

Macroplea appendiculata PANZER, 1794 is an extremely rare species in Poland and Europe. This paper provides new data on the ecology of this species. 24 specimens of M. appendiculata were collected in fish ponds at Samoklęski. This beetle was caught mainly with active traps placed on the bottom, but it was not found in traps set just below the water surface. The data show that M. appendiculata is a typical benthic organism, moving vertically to only a small extent. The low rate of metabolism allows this beetle to inhabit waters of varied, as well as low, oxygen content. The occurrence of the most numerous population of M. appendiculata in fish ponds, currently known in Poland, indicates the crucial role of this kind of water body as a habitat for this species.

Published: May 2018

Paper presents modelling of pollutants in the air in terms of fire on dumps. Uncontrolled fire on dumps where are tyre produce a lot of smoke and air pollutants, including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Great heat leads to the generation of pyrolytic oil which, when mixed with the fire extinguishing agent, contaminates the surrounding soil, surface water and underground water. Paper analyzes and presents in particular the emission factors of incomplete burning of waste car tyres. Metal dust emissions have been presented as well as volatile organic compund (VOC) emissions, slightly volatile organic compound (SVOC) emissions and emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Evaluation of the effect on the air quality has been graphically presented by modelling of uncotrolled tyre burning by using EPA "SCREEN 3 MODEL".
Assessment of leachability of harmful components from alternative fuels prepared with the use of sewage sludge / Ocena wymywalności szkodliwych składników z paliw alternatywnych wytworzonych z osadów ściekowych
Authors: Wzorek Małgorzata
Published: May 2018

Fuels, inclusive of those produced with the use of wastes, must usually be stored before their combustion or co-combustion in industrial processes. When stored outside, the fuels are exposed to adverse atmospheric impacts. The fuel quality may get worse then and fuel components which may be environmentally harmful may be leached out as well. The paper presents the assessment of potential environmental threads which result from the storage of fuels which have been produced with the use of municipal sewage sludge and other components, ie fuel made of the sewage sludge and coal slurry (PBS fuel), fuel made of the sewage sludge and meat-and-bone meal (PBM fuel), and that obtained with the use of the sewage sludge and sawdust (PBT fuel). Leachability of environmentally harmful components was studied, with special attention paid to heavy metals. Four methods were employed to evaluate the pollutant leachability levels; different environmental conditions were simulated in those methods. The studies and analyses demonstrated that the temporary surface dumping of PBS, PBM and PBT fuels was safe from the viewpoint of leaching of the harmful component to soil and/or water courses.
The Effect of Different Forms of Sunflower Oil and Protein Sources in the Diet on Pancreatic Juice Secretion and Pancreatic Enzymes Activity in Sheep / Wpływ formy oleju słonecznikowego oraz źródła białka w dawce na sekrecję soku trzustkowego oraz aktywność enzymów trzustkowych u owiec

Published: May 2018

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of various forms of sunflower oil in the diet with protein degraded at different rates in the rumen on pancreatic juice secretion and activity. The experiment was conducted on 24 adult Corriedale rams weighing about 40 ± 1.5 kg, catheterized in the pancreatic and bile ducts and fistulated in the duodenum. The animals were fed diets consisting of meadow hay, potato starch, different degradable protein (casein or maize gluten, a source of zein) and different forms of sunflower oil (calcium salts, seeds and oil). It was stated that addition of various forms of fat to the diet did not significantly influence the secretion of pancreatic juice, regardless of the source of protein. However, sunflower seeds and oil used in the diet had a significant effect on bile secretion, protein content, proteolytic activity of trypsin and plasma lipid indices. No significant differences were observed in the lipolytic activity of the pancreatic juice, although lipase activity was higher when zein was used as the main protein source. It was concluded that dietary addition of certain combinations of protected or unprotected sunflower oil and different degradable protein may improve pancreatic activity and probably affect plasma lipid indices in sheep.

Authors: Gąsior Robert , Pietras Mariusz P.
Published: May 2018

The aim of the study was to validate a gas chromatographic method for determining cholesterol in egg yolks according to the EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Of the two methods, with and without internal standard, the former was characterized by lower uncertainty, with a repeatability of 4% and within-laboratory reproducibility of 6%. The method’s uncertainty (n = 2, P≤0.05), which included sample preparation errors and chromatographic measurement errors, was 10.6%. Mean recovery was 99.9% and limit of quantification was 0.16 mg/g. The coefficient of variation for repeatability, which is calculated during routine analyses, should not exceed the 8% limit of repeatability. The method is reliable, as confirmed by the results of validation, and the procedure is relatively rapid and simple.
Impact of soil compaction on root development and yield of meadow-grass
Authors: Głąb T.
Published: May 2018

The field experiment was carried out on a smoothstalked meadow-grass to analyse the effect of tractor traffic on herbage production and root morphology. The multiple passes of tractor changed physical properties of soil. Increase in bulk density and penetration resistance of soil under smooth-stalked meadow-grass was recorded up to the depth of 30 cm. The tractor traffic resulted in changes in smooth-stalked meadow-grass yields. During the second and the third harvest it was found that wheel traffic decreased plant yields. For the first harvest the opposite effect in herbage production was noticed. The tractor traffic significantly changed the root morphometric properties in the upper, 0-5 cm, soil layer. Intensive tractor traffic (four and six passes) significantly increased the root length in diameter range of 0.1-0.5 mm. There were no differences in both mean root diameter and specific root length what indicated that traffic treatment applied did not change the root diameter. The results indicate that smooth-stalked meadow-grass could be recommended for compacted soils when intensive traffic is present.

In this paper we proposed a multiobjective optimization model for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed model optimized several objectives, simultaneously. Indeed, by starting from a generic configuration we found new location for sensors, that the network have appropriate performance in terms of energy consumption and travelled distance. For the monotony of energy consumption and life time of sensors, the rate of energy consumption in each stage have been associated the previous stage. Through a series of calculations the behavior of the proposed model has been compared with other one-objective models.
Effect of Water Glass Modification on Its Viscosity and Wettability of Quartz Grains
Authors: Kmita A. , Hutera B.
Published: May 2018

The aim of the present study was to develop a modifier for water glass. The method of thermal generation of metal oxide nanoparticles was adapted and used in the research. Nanoparticles of ZnO from the thermal decomposition of basic zinc carbonate were used. A method for the modifier introduction was developed, and the effect of modifier content and organic solvent type on the physico-chemical properties of binder (viscosity) and quartz wettability was determined. Binder viscosity was examined from the flow curves plotted with the help of a RHEOTEST 2 rotational rheometer equipped with proper software. Quartz wettability was determined examining timerelated changes in the value of the contact angle in a quartz-binder system, until full stabilisation of the angle value has been achieved. Binder modification was carried out on sodium water glass designated as R"145". The water glass modifiers were suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles in propanol and methanol at a fixed concentration of c = 0.3 M and with the size of nanoparticles comprised in a range of <61 - 981 nm>. Water glass modification with the suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles in methanol and propanol showed the effect of modifier on the water glass viscosity and quartz wettability. This effect depends on the type of alcohol used. The ZnO suspension in propanol (alcohol with a longer hydrocarbon chain) affects more strongly the viscosity of binder and quartz wettability than the methanol suspension

The Dependence of Castings Quality Produced in Clay Moulding Mixtures from the Properties of Binder Based on a Montmorillonite
Authors: Vasková I. , Fecko D. , Malik J.
Published: May 2018

Casting quality depends on many factors including the quality of the input materials, technology, material securing and last but not least, the mould into which the casting is casted. By pouring into a single-shot mould, based mainly on 1st generation binders, is is a very important factor. Basically, a bentonite mixture represents either a three- or four-component system, but each component of the system is a heterogeneous substance. This heterogeneity punctuates mainly a non-stationary heat field, presented throughout the whole process of the casting production. The most important component is a binder and in the case of first generation binders mostly bentonites are used - clays that contain minimum of 80% of montmorillonite.

Authors: Perić Aleksandar , Erdoglija Milan , Mladenović Nenad , Vukomanović Đurđević Biserka
Published: May 2018

The paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelized cystic lesion containing fluid and is characterized by non-neoplastic expansion of the paranasal sinus due to its capacity to erode the overlying bone. Etiology of these lesions is still under debate. In this report, we described a case of a patient with frontal recess mucocele, associated with contralateral frontal recess osteoma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital with the complaints of a headache affecting the fronto-ethmoidal region, left-sided nasal obstruction, and postnasal discharge. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed a dense bony lesion in the left and a cystic hypodense mass in the right-sided frontal recess. The patient was treated surgically, with a combined endoscopicexternal approach, bilaterally. Histopathological examination showed that the wall of the cyst was mucocele, and the bony formation was osteoma. The frontal recess osteoma is regarded as the primary condition. Thus, better ventilation and drainage of the frontal sinus were reestablished.
137Cs Uptake and Translocation in Leafy Vegetable: a Study with Lactuca Sativa L. Grown Under Hydroponic Conditions
Authors: Šuňovská Anna , Horník Miroslav , Marešová Jana , Pipíška Martin , Augustín Jozef
Published: May 2018

A hydroponic study involving lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) as a leafy vegetable was conducted to evaluate the 137Cs uptake and translocation in plant tissues in dependence on the presence or absence of K+ or/and NH4+ ions in cultivation media according to Hoagland (HM) during 8 d plants growth under hydroponic conditions. Significant increase of the 137Cs+ uptake by lettuce plants and the decrease of 137Cs+ translocation efficiency from roots to leaves were observed in 50 % HM deficient in K+ and NH4+ ions. Speciation analysis using Visual MINTEQ program showed that at micromolar concentration of CsCl (5 μmol/dm3) in 50 % HM at pH 6.0 and 25 °C, cesium was occurred practically only in the free cationic Cs+ form − 98.8 %, with minor proportions of other cesium species: CsCl − 0.4 %, CsNO3 − 0.4 %, and CsSO4 - − 0.4 %. Surplus of Cl-, NO3- and SO42- ions in HM causes the increase of proportions of the cesium species CsCl, CsNO3 and CsSO4-, respectively at the expense of bioavailable Cs+ form. Radiocesium 137Cs taken up via roots was removed from lettuce leaves with high efficiency by boiling in diluted NaCl solution. At ambient temperature the extraction of 137Cs with diluted acetic acid was concentration and time dependent process, and was succeeded by leakage of tissue components absorbing at 260 nm. These findings are important for the risk assessment of radiocesium entry into the food chain via contaminated leafy vegetable.

Authors: Deas Crystal , Thomason Angela R , Riggs Robert M , Thomas Michael C. , Kendrach Michael G.
Published: May 2018

Objective: To evaluate change in faculty’s knowledge and perceptions after an online video module on the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process (PPCP).

Innovation: An educational video module on the PPCP was developed and disseminated to full-time faculty members at Samford University, McWhorter School of Pharmacy. Voluntary and anonymous pre- and post-test assessments were evaluated and analyzed.

Critical Analysis: Thirty faculty completed the pre-assessment, and 31 completed the post-assessment (73% and 75% response rates, respectively). A significant improvement in faculty perceptions was indicated by an increase in agreement with the majority (80%) of questions on attitudes toward the PPCP on the post-test. Faculty’s knowledge of the introduction and assessment of PPCP within the school’s curriculum was significantly increased after viewing the video module. After viewing the module, more faculty were also able to correctly identify the majority of the PPCP components and their corresponding practice activities.

Next Steps: A short video module was effective at improving faculty knowledge and perceptions of the PPCP. Development of a similar faculty development module is feasible for implementation in other Schools of Pharmacy.

Reformas de ida y vuelta en la gobernanza horizontal del bienestar: el caso de la colaboración público-privada en la intermediación laboral en la Comunidad Valenciana
Authors: Catalá Pérez Daniel , Del Pino Eloísa
Published: May 2018

Las ideas de la Nueva Gestión Pública y los procesos de emulación de políticas europeas han extendido la colaboración público-privada como instrumento de gobernanza horizontal en la provisión de bienestar. Sin embargo, la búsqueda de una mayor participación del sector privado en la gestión de determinados servicios públicos no está exenta de dificultades. Un caso claro es la reforma de la intermediación laboral llevada a cabo en España desde 2013, cuyo alcance final ha sido muy limitado debido a factores como la crisis, el contexto de gobierno multinivel y la ideología de los gobiernos. En este artículo se analiza el caso concreto de la Comunidad Valenciana para tratar de entender las dificultades de reforma de este programa público y contribuir a la literatura con nueva evidencia empírica sobre la importancia de los factores citados en el grado de éxito de las reformas que persiguen incrementar la colaboración pública-privada en el sector de las políticas sociales.

â€˜Guilty Pleasuresâ€™, â€˜Forbidden Fruitsâ€™ and â€˜Brave Confusionâ€™: Queer Love in the Music and Videos of South African Singers Toya Delazy and Nakhane TourÃ©
Authors: Ncube Gibson
Published: May 2018

Guided by socio-musicological perspectives, this article contends that Toya Delazy and Nakhane TourÃ© grapple with issues pertaining to love and sexuality in their music. This is against the background of South Africa being hailed as a progressive country, especially relating to its constitution that acquiescently protects the rights of sexual minorities. Notwithstanding such constitutional protections, lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT) continue to be victimised particularly in the impoverished townships of this country. Although they celebrate same-sex love, this article contends that such celebration is based on guilt and shame. Singing against such guilt and shame is a significant element in the construction of their sexual identity and acceptation of their same-sex love. The article concludes that Toya Delazy and Nakhane TourÃ©â€™s songs are pioneering in South Africa for their open depiction of queer love in a socio-cultural milieu that considers such identities and modes of self-expression as unnatural, deviant and taboo. This music can thus be considered as a transgressive space that seeks to rehabilitate the manner in which same-sex love is perceived.

Published: May 2018

A violência contra as mulheres é resultante das desigualdades de gênero na sociedade. A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) é intensamente procurada pelas mulheres em situação de violência, mas nem sempre as respostas recebidas contribuem para tornar a Rota menos crítica no enfrentamento da violência. Este estudo buscou identificar as Rotas Críticas das mulheres, a partir da APS. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, a partir da análise de 5 entrevistas com mulheres indicadas pela APS em situação de violência. Os resultados mostram que a violência doméstica de gênero é reconhecida nos serviços de APS e as mulheres se sentem acolhidas para falarem sobre o problema nessas instituições, porém, a APS aparentemente, se mostra desarticulada dos demais serviços da rede.Descritores: Identidade de gênero, Violência contra a mulher, Atenção primária à saúde

Revaluation of historical buildings with timber-concrete composite in compliance with fire resistance demands
Authors: Holschemacher Klaus , Quapp Ulrike
Published: May 2018

The requirements concerning the guarantee of sufficient fire resistance of structures have significantly changed with time. Hence, when revaluating or reconstructing existing older or even historical buildings a decision about necessary measures for ensuring the demanded fire resistance is needed.

Timber-concrete composite is a proven technology for reconstruction and strengthening of existing timber beam ceilings. Timber-concrete composite floors have a high load-bearing capacity and very advantageous building-physical properties like fire resistance and sound insulation. A further essential benefit is the circumstance that the bottom side of the timber beam floors may be unchanged in the reconstruction process. This fact very often is a basic demand for reconstruction of historical buildings.

The paper analyses the recent fire protection regulations for reconstruction of historical buildings. It is verified that timber-concrete composite is a profitable solution for improvement of fire protection of existing buildings.

Twelfth Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research: So That Any Child May Succeed: Indigenous Pathways Toward Justice and the Promise of Brown
Authors: McCarty Teresa L.
Published: May 2018

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepared to rehear for the second time the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1953, the 83rd Congress passed House Concurrent Resolution 108 and Public Law 280—policies that would terminate federal treaty and trust responsibilities to Native Americans. Even as post- Brown desegregation went into effect, thousands of Native American children continued to attend segregated, English-only federal boarding schools. This lecture considers the Brown legacy and broader issues of education equality in the context of research, policy, and practice in Indigenous education. Focusing on a core argument in Brown—that equality of opportunity is a prerequisite “so that any child may succeed”—I examine hard-fought pathways toward education justice forged by Indigenous educators, parents, leaders, and allies; the larger settler colonial project in which those efforts are embedded; and the ways in which Indigenous initiatives are braided with those of other racialized groups. Key to this analysis is recognition that equal access and uniformity of education approach are not synchronous with equity. I conclude with the ongoing challenges in fulfilling the promise of Brown—in particular, the simultaneous homogenizing and stratifying effects of current education policies—and what can be learned from diverse models of contemporary Indigenous education practice.

Published: May 2018

Suku Dayak merupakan salah satu suku yang terdapat di Kalimantan yang memiliki kebudayaan â€Telingaan Aruuâ€ yang sangat khas. Tradisi tersebut merupakan tradisi yang diteruskan secara turun temurun kepada para wanita suku Dayak. Namun, tradisi ini sudah mulai ditinggalkan karena anggapan bahwa tradisi tersebut sudah ketinggalan jaman. Oleh karena itu perlu ada pengenalan mengenai kebudayaan tersebut kepada masyarakat umum, agar generasi muda tetap mengetahui adanya tradisi tersebut di Indonesia. Hal inilah yang membuka peluang untuk dibuatnya perhiasan sebagai salah satu bentuk souvenir khas suku Dayak. Tujuan yang ingin dicapai pada penelitian ini adalah 1). Pembuatan alternatif desain perhiasan yang mengangkat kebudayaan â€Telingaan Aruuâ€ yang akan dijadikan sebagai souvenir khas Suku Dayak, tradisi tersebut merupakan tradisi khas suku Dayak yang sudah mulai punah; 2) Perwujudan prototype dari alternatif desain. Konsep desain yang digunakan adalah Massive Jewelry with Telingaan Aruu Tradition Typical of Dayak Tribe yaitu kata kunci Massive diambil karena perhiasan dibuat dalam ukuran cukup besar yang eyecatching, perhiasan besar mengandung makna bahwa kesanggupan dalam menahan derita suku Dayak cukup besar. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan analisis aspek teknis dan aspek estetis dengan stilasi dan deformasi bentuk. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah pembuatan souvenir berupa perhiasan dengan bahan dasar perak dan terdiri dari beberapa jenis perhiasan,Â  yaitu gelang, kalung, anting-anting, dan cincin.Dayak tribe is one of many tribes in Kalimantan with a distinctive tradition ofÂ  â€œTelingaan Aruuâ€. This tradition is passed through many generations of Dayak women. However, this tradition is now facing the threat of extinction. Therefore, there was a strong need to brought back the tradition to the wider public as a keepsake for many generations about to come. By this ground, there was an opportunity to design a Dayak tribe inspired souvenir with a form of jewelry. Accordingly, this research has two aims: 1) to create some design alternatives with â€œTelingaan Aruâ€ as the main inspiration for Dayak tribe souvenir, in order to save the tradition from extinction; 2) to create the prototype from the design alternatives. The design concept is â€œMassive Jewelry with Telingaan Aruu Tradition Typical of Dayak Tribeâ€. â€œMassiveâ€ itself was chosen to be the keyword as the jewelry will be designed with eyecatching massive size, in which this massive size also has the meaning of willingness to withstand all the suffer in Dayak tribe life. The research will utilize the technical and esthetical aspects analysis method with stylation and deformation. Furthermore, this research resulted in a Dayak tribe souvenir in a form of jewelry such as bracelet, necklace, earrings, and ring; with silver as the main material.
Fenomena Upacara Yadnya Dan Judi Tajen Dalam Penciptaan Karya Seni Rupa
Authors: Suardana I Wayan
Published: May 2018

Bagi masyarakat Hindu, melaksanakan upacara yadnya merupakan bagaian yang tak terpisahkan, baik yang berhubungan dengan pelaksanaan upacara atas nama pribadi, kelompok dadya, maupun desa pakraman. Masyarakat melaksanakan upacara dengan perasaan tulus iklas, murni dan suci sebagai ucapan terimakasih pada Yang Kuasa atas segala rahmatNYA. Suatu hal yang sangat memprihatinkan adalah pelaksanaan upacara yang murni, suci, tulus iklas, dengan tampilan yang sangat artistik, tidak selalu diikuti dengan suasana religius karena upacara tersebut sering dimanfaatkan untuk menunjukan stratifikasi kehidupan sosial di masyarakat, sehingga sering dalam ritual seremonial lebih utama dari religiusnya. Selain itu banyak ritual selalu dibarengi dengan judi tajen yang dimaknai sebagai tabuh rah. Sebuah fenomena, antara ritual yang suci selalu bergandengan dengan gengsi dan judi yang maksiat. Hal ini disebabkan karena pemahaman masyarakat tentang upacara yadnya,Â  tabuh rah dan tajen sangat kurang. Upacara pun tak terhindar dari situasi paradoksal, berada dalam suatu posisi yang sangat sulit, karena upacara yang sangat religius selalu dibarengi dengan gengsi danÂ  judi yang maksiat.Â  Tujuan penciptaan ini adalah untuk memberi pemahaman pada masyarakat bahwa upacara yadnya harus dilaksanakan dengan hati yang tulus iklas dan tidak boleh diikuti dengan judi.Â  Hasil penciptaan ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan studi komparatif bagi seniman danÂ  mahasiswa dalam penciptaan karya seni lebih lanjut.Religious ceremonies are inseparable part of being Balinese Hindus, either those related to personal yadnya rites, dadya groups, orÂ  desa pakraman. Various ritual facilities are attractively and beautifully displayed, expressing the beauty of those offerings as well as sincere, pure and sacred feeling. What concerns us most is that the supposedly sacred rituals that are held with sincere and pure feelings are not always meant to be purely religious activities. It could be because such rituals are held to show off social status; therefore ceremonial aspects are more dominant than the religious ones. In fact, more often than not, tajen cockfights accompany the rituals construed as tabuh rah: a phenomenon that combines sacred rituals with a show off and immoral gambling. The reason has been the lack in understanding of the rituals: tabuh rah and tajen.Â  Here lies a difficult paradox: the sacred religious rites have always been accompanied by a show off and immoral cockfight as gambling. The creation of this sculpture work is intended to give bettors (or bobotohs) an understanding that the rituals should be held with sincerity and not using them for gambling. The creation is expected to serve the purpose of comparative studies on further creation sculptural works.

Background: Antibiotics are considered to be among the most commonly sold drug classes globally. Antibiotic resistance is a recognized public health issue at the local, national and global levels.Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify awareness of general public regarding the use and resistance of antibiotics.Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Kathmandu in November 2016 using a quantitative questionnaire among 120 adult people aged 20–60 years. Convenience sampling method was used and information on use of antibiotics and resistance was obtained using semi-structured questionnaire through interview method. Descriptive statistics was done to describe the respondent’s level of awareness regarding use of antibiotics and resistance.Results: Among the total respondents, majority had incorrect awareness as regards to action, reasons for using antibiotics, possible side effects of the antibiotic. Seventy one percent of the respondents had not heard about antibiotic resistance. The study finding showed that about 66.7% of the participants had inadequate awareness towards use and resistance of antibiotics.Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that the overall awareness on antibiotic use and resistance is poorly understood among our respondents. This information can be utilized in future educational and antibiotic resistance awareness raising campaigns.

Phytophthora infestans (mont) de Bary is a pathogen of great concern across the globe, and accurate detection is an important component in responding to the outbreaks of potential disease. Although the molecular diagnostic protocol used in regulatory programs has been evaluated but till date methods implying direct comparison has rarely used. In this study, a known area soil samples from potato fields where light blight appear every year (both A1 and A2 mating type) was assayed by soil bait method, PCR assay detection and quantification of the inoculums. Suspected disease symptoms appeared on bait tubers were further confirmed by rapid PCR, inoculums were quantified through Real Time PCR, which confirms presence of P. infestans. These diagnostic methods can be highly correlated with one another. Potato tuber baiting increased the sensitivity of the assay compared with direct extraction of DNA from tuber and soil samples. Our study determines diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the assays to determine the performance of each method. Overall, molecular techniques based on different types of PCR amplification and Real-time PCR can lead to high throughput, faster and more accurate detection method which can be used in quarantine programmes in potato industry and diagnostic laboratory.

Agricultural research findings are required to reach soon to the farmers, extensionists, media, researchers, policy makers, businessperson, students, teachers and so many other stakeholders. Among different types of publications, research paper is generally published in journal considered as standard type of publication in term of quality and recognition. Most of the journals follow similar pattern and framework; however, the style, format and process may be different with each other. A research (scientific) paper is a written describing original research result using standard methods and materials. The major sections in a journal paper are abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and references. Accordingly Journal of Nepal Agricultural Research Council has its own style and format. Author needs to follow guidelines strictly on the use of punctuation marks such as comma (,), period (.), space, justification etc; otherwise submitted manuscripts could be immediately return to author without considering in review process. In general, we received manuscripts with many errors on citation and references, poor elaboration of results of experiments, weak discussion, missing to acknowledge funding agencies, submitting non-editable figures, very few numbers of citations of Nepalese researchers, statements not in logical order, etc. In general, the scientific papers should be written in simple way with new but sufficient justification backed up by data in the form of tables, graphs, flow diagrams etc so that readers can understand easily with high readability. The submitted manuscript in the journal office are sent to two to three reviewers for specific recommendation on the originality of the work, appropriateness of the approach and experimental design, adequacy of experimental techniques, soundness of conclusions and interpretations, relevance of discussion and importance of the research. The language clarity and organization of the article are also asked with the reviewers. In response to reviewer's comments all authors are expected to reply each and every comments and suggestions of reviewers, if such comments and suggestion are not acceptable, the author/s can argue for their points, if genuine. Here in this paper we described detail contents of each section along with style and format for a research paper writing targeted to Journal of Nepal Agricultural Research Council.
