Os estudos sobre a Relação Família-Escola no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Saraiva-Junges Lisiane Alvim , Wagner Adriana
Published: February 2017

A Relação Família-Escola tem atraído interesse de muitos pesquisadores, pois quando bem estabelecida previne comportamentos disfuncionais. No Brasil, percebem-se algumas lacunas na abordagem desta temática, o que motivoua realização deste estudo. O objetivo deste trabalho, portanto, foi conhecer o estado da arte do tema “Relação Família-Escola” em nosso país a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. O levantamento resultou em 31 artigos que foram analisados sob o ponto de vista metodológico e temático. Os artigos refletem a complexidade inerente à temática, assim como as metodologias disponíveis para aceder a ela. Alguns denotam certa dificuldade de delimitação do objeto de pesquisa. Conclui-se que a produção acadêmica sobre o tema no Brasil encontra-se em momento de diagnóstico de dificuldades e constatação da necessidade de propostas de intervenção para otimização, mas ainda não se percebem avanços quanto à proposições práticas que fomentem uma parceria efetiva entre escola e famílias.
An activity theory analysis of learning in and for inter-school work
Authors: Daniels Harry
Published: February 2017

Neste artigo, discutirei a teoria da atividade. Este grupo altamente influente de escrita é visto como uma retomada e uma extensão das ideias originais Vygotskianas na formação social da mente por A.N. Leontiev (1978) e seus colegas que inicialmente trabalharam como parte do grupo de Vygotsky em Moscou e partiram para um novo cenário com novas ênfases teóricas na Carcóvia. Em um nível muito geral de descrição, os teóricos da atividade procuram analisar o desenvolvimento da consciência dentro da atividade social prática. Sua preocupação é com os impactos psicológicos da atividade e as condições sociais e sistemas que são produzidos na e através de tal atividade. Abrirei este artigo esboçando algumas das distinções, das fissuras e divisões que se formaram na área desde que o corpo original de trabalho do início do século XX tornou-se extensamente disponível no ocidente. Em seguida, apresentarei um breve resumo da metodologia desenvolvida por Engeström e seus colegas em Helsinque. Concluirei o artigo descrevendo uma série de questões que estão presentes nos debates em curso.
From controlled experiments to formative interventions in studies of agency: methodological considerations
Authors: Laitinen Anne , Sannino Annalisa , Engeström Yrjö
Published: February 2017

O artigo explora a possibilidade de desenvolver uma metodologia para estudar o surgimento da ação agentiva experimentalmente. Ele discute as limitações da pesquisa experimental clássica e busca uma perspectiva diferente sobre a questão do controle. O argumento começa por analisar como o conceito de uma experiência tem se expandido ao longo dos anos na pesquisa científica social. Em seguida, novas aberturas são consideradas para experiências além do paradigma de controle e uma metodologia de intervenções formativas, particularmente adequadas ao estudo do surgimento de ações agentivas. São sugeridas três qualidades centrais de experimentos além do paradigma de controle dentro da abordagem histórico-cultural, a saber: (1) construir sobre os conflitos de motivação dos participantes; (2) focalizar a formação de ações agentivas dos participantes de dar sentido e transformar a situação experimental (3) seguindo com expansões temporais e espaciais para além do quadro inicial da experiência. O artigo conclui com uma discussão das implicações metodológicas mais amplas dessas novas aberturas.

Published: February 2017

Objetivo: Conhecer o perfil nutricional e alimentar de escolares matriculados na Escola Municipal de Ipiranga do Sul.Materiais e Métodos: Estudo transversal com 113 escolares de 5 a 19 anos, matriculados em uma Escola Municipal de Ipiranga do Sul (RS). Os dados foram coletados através de questionários e medidas antropométricas. As variáveis sociodemográficas investigadas foram: idade, sexo, cor, escolaridade, classe econômica e recebimento de benefício pelo Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). Avaliou-se o estado nutricional dos escolares através da classificação do índice de massa corporal para idade e circunferência do braço. Para a avaliação do consumo alimentar utilizou-se o questionário de frequência alimentar E-Kindex.Resultados: Dos 113 escolares avaliados, prevaleceu o sexo masculino, crianças, cor de pele branca, pertencentes a classe econômica B e C e sem recebimento ao PBF. A maior prevalência foi de escolares eutróficos (67,3%) e com consumo alimentar adequado. Na análise bivariada entre o estado nutricional e fatores associados, observa-se que a maior prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade esteve associada a cor de pele não branca (p=0,036), pertencer as classes econômicas C, D e E (p=0,044) e ser beneficiado pelo PBF (p=0,008).Conclusão: A maioria dos escolares apresentaram-se eutróficos, porém 30,1% estavam com excesso de peso. Destaca-se o baixo consumo diário de frutas, verduras e legumes, apesar da aparente adequação do consumo alimentar. Ações de educação alimentar e nutricional, previstas no Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar, devem ser reforçadas, a fim de promover melhora na situação alimentar e nutricional dos escolares.

Authors: Kon Kazuhiro , Shiota Makoto , Sakuyama Aoi , Ozeki Maho , Kozuma Wataru , Kawakami Sawako , Kasugai Shohei
Published: February 2017

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of implant prostheses on the occlusal force and area as well as the distribution of occlusal loading in unilateral free-end and intermediate missing cases. Fourteen healthy subjects (7 free-end missing cases in the first and second molars and 7 intermediate missing cases in the first molar region) were included. Six months after the implant prosthesis was placed, an occlusal evaluation was performed with or without the implant superstructure by using Dental Prescale film and an occluder device. In free-end missing cases, the total occlusal force and area, implant-side occlusal force and area, and implant-side occlusal force and area of the residual natural teeth were significantly affected by the implant prostheses. In intermediate missing cases, the implant-side occlusal force of the residual natural teeth was significantly affected by the implant prostheses. In free-end missing cases, the proportions of implant-side occlusal force, non–implant-side occlusal force, and implant-side occlusal force of the residual natural teeth relative to the total occlusal force were significantly affected by the implant prostheses. In the intermediate missing cases, the proportion of the implant-side occlusal force of the residual natural teeth relative to the total occlusal force was significantly affected by the implant prostheses. The proportion of the occlusal area was also significantly affected. In free-end missing cases, implant prostheses significantly increased the occlusal force and area, which resulted in the proper occlusal distribution. In intermediate missing cases, an implant prosthesis may only improve the same-side occlusal loading of the natural teeth.

Authors: Hulmani Manjunath , Bullappa Asha , Kakar Shruti , Kengnal Prakash
Published: February 2017

Background: Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease known to occur in adolescent age group. There are many myths and misconceptions in patients as well as health physicians regarding the causes and treatment of acne. Objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice towards acne vulgaris among acne patients attending skin outpatient department in a private medical college.

Methods: This is a cross sectional, questionnaire based study conducted between January - April 2016. 100 patients having acne lesions were included in the study.

Results: Majority of the study subjects belonged to the age group 15-24. The study showed that 72% had good knowledge. More than half of the study subjects had wrong belief that eating oily foods, chocolates, spicy food caused acne but more than 40% of the study subjects had good knowledge about the causes and aggravating factors like it worsens by squeezing/picking/rubbing (83%), commonly found in oily skin (67%), has seasonal occurrence (54%), associated with premenstrual flare (42%), aggravated with use of cosmetics (41%).

Conclusions: The acne patients had poor practice and unfavorable attitude in spite of good knowledge. Many myths exist among patients. Despite being so common and very well responsive to treatment, it is a major cause of depression among patients.
Bacteriological and antibiotic susceptibility study of pyodermas at a tertiary care center in central Karnataka
Authors: Hulmani Manjunath , Meti Prabhakar , V. JagannathKumar
Published: February 2017

Background: Pyoderma is defined as a skin infection mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes or both. Pyoderma is a common skin infection in India and constitutes major portion of patients in dermatological clinics. Many cases nowadays do not respond to the antibiotics that were previously sensitive. In order to successfully treat cases of pyodermas, sound knowledge is necessary regarding the etiology and their sensitivity patterns. Objectives of this study were to determine clinico-epidemiological and etiological factors associated in patients with pyoderma and to find sensitivity pattern of isolated organisms to various antibiotics commonly used.

Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was performed on 100 patients presenting with bacterial skin infections to the Dermatology out-patient department of a tertiary care centre in Central Karnataka. Clinical and epidemiological features were recorded on a predefined proforma.  Sterile swabs were used to collect the pus from the lesions under aseptic precaution. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolated strains to different groups of drugs was tested on Muller Hinton agar by the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method.

Results: Primary pyodermas was seen more in the age group of 21-30 years (21%), followed by 31-40 years (19%).  Folliculitis (32%) was the commonest clinical type followed by furuncles (28%). Among the gram positive isolates, Vancomycin (88.24%), Linezolid (86.67%) and Cefoxitin (71%) were the most susceptible drugs, whereas Amoxicillin (92.86%) and penicillin G (88.37%) were the most resistant drugs.

Conclusions: Pyodermas have been the major cause of morbidity since long. Even though pyoderma is a common condition, emerging multidrug resistant strains is of major concern to treat these conditions. Suitable and judicious selection of antibiotics by using antibiotic sensitivity data would limit the emerging drug resistant strains in the future to treat these clinical conditions successfully.

Published: February 2017

En el contexto económico postindustrial buena parte de las clases populares quedan fuera del mercado de trabajo formal y se producen importantes transformaciones en su relación con la actividad política, relacionadas con el modo en que las nuevas políticas sociales se insertan en las tramas socioculturales y asociativas del mundo popular. En base a materiales empíricos sobre el caso argentino, mostramos la porosidad existente entre Estado y sociedad civil popular, y la existencia de conflictivos principios morales de justicia que regulan esa interfase.
Estimation of Mean Income for Small Areas in Poland Using Rao-Yu Model
Authors: Jędrzejczak Alina , Kubacki Jan
Published: February 2017

Modelling and estimating relationships that combine time series and crosssectional data is often discussed in the statistical literature but in these considerations sampling errors are seldom taken into account. In the paper the application of the Rao-Yu model involving both- autocorrelated random effects between areas and sampling errors-has been presented. On the basis of this model the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) with time correlation has been obtained. As an example the application of several income-related variables for the Polish voivodships (regions) and the years 2003–2011 was used on the basis of the Polish Household Budget Survey and selected explanatory variables obtained from Polish Local Data Bank. The computations were performed using sae2 and sae packages for R-project environment and WesVAR software. The precision of the direct estimates was obtained using Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) technique.For most investigated cases, the proposed methods based on the Rao-Yu model yielded the significant improvement of small area estimates due to substantial reduction of their relative estimation errors as compared to the ordinary EBLUP technique. For some income variables examined within the study very high values of time-related autocorrelation coefficient were observed. These values were in some cases higher than 0.9, what can be – in our opinion – a good illustration of income growth tendency observed in Poland in the period under consideration.

Published: February 2017

This paper investigates the companies listed on WSE in the context of intangibles and financial management. If a company decides to build its strategy on innovation, it will have to manage the finances according to some rules specific for innovation based entities. The value of a company should grow as a result of joint decisions in the field of innovation and finances. Specifically, this paper investigates the influence of company’s intangibles on its liquidity strategy, cash management, profitability, debt capacity and market value. As a result of analysis it has been found that there exist relationships among those factors, indicating that innovation based strategy should be supported by financial decisions that enable the company to increase its value.

W artykule przytoczono dane wskazujące na obserwowany trend dotyczący wzrostu znaczenia społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu. Istotne z punktu widzenia tego wzrostu było zestawienie funkcji, jakie pełnią obecnie giełdowe indeksy CSR/SRI/ESG. Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza zachowania się wybranych światowych indeksów giełdowych spółek społecznie odpowiedzialnych (DJSI World, DJSI North America, FTSE4GOOD Global, MSCI KLD 400 Social, CALVERT Social (CSI), MSCI World ESG, STOXX Europe Sustainability, DJSI Europe). Opracowanie obejmuje także analizę porównawczą wyników indeksów RESPECT, WIG20, mWIG40 i sWIG80, a także WIG-BANKI, WIG-BUDOW, WIG-CHEMIA, WIG-DEWEL, WIG-ENERG, WIG-INFO, WIG-MEDIA, WIG-PALIWA, WIG-SPOZYW, WIG-SUROWC, WIG-TELKOM. Analiza dotycząca światowych indeksów była oparta na danych pozyskanych z bazy Datastream, natomiast dane do części publikacji związanej z porównaniem indeksu RESPECT z innymi indeksami warszawskiej giełdy pochodziły z serwisów Giełdy Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie oraz Parkietu Gazety Giełdy. Zaprezentowane dane wskazują, że wyniki światowych indeksów (trendy) w badanych okresach zachowują się podobnie, jednak ich efektywność jest zróżnicowana. Nie wszystkie wartości indeksów w badanych dwóch okresach charakteryzowały się wzrostem. Otrzymane wyniki pokazują również, że inwestycje w przedsiębiorstwa społecznie odpowiedzialne na wybranych rynkach kapitałowych nie są związane z odpornością na załamania na rynku akcji. Informacja o udziale spółki w indeksie nie jest dla inwestora gwarancją, że inwestycja w daną spółkę przyniesie odpowiednią stopę zwrotu.
Położenie małych miast na tle środowiska przyrodniczego dna pradoliny warszawsko-berlińskiej
Authors: Kobojek Elżbieta
Published: February 2017

Pradolina warszawsko-berlińska jest ważnym elementem w krajobrazie Polski Środkowej. Forma ta ma złożoną budowę geologiczną i mozaikowy układ siedlisk. Dno pradoliny jest szerokie (1,2–5 km) i zbudowane z dwóch powierzchni: fragmentów terasy piaszczystej i równiny zalewowej (namuły). W dwóch odcinkach pradoliny duże powierzchnie zajmują torfowiska. Takie warunki miały wpływ na rozwój osadnictwa. Artykuł przedstawia środowiskowe uwarunkowania lokalizacji małych miast w dnie pradoliny. Przeanalizowano położenie topograficzne dziesięciu miast. Analiza różnych elementów środowiska przyrodniczego wskazuje, że głównym czynnikiem decydującym o lokalizacji miast były walory geomorfologiczne i hydrologiczne. Większość miast została ulokowana na wysokim stoku pradoliny, a tylko jedno miasto zostało zbudowane na obydwu brzegach rzeki. Środowisko przyrodnicze dna pradoliny jest barierą w rozwoju przestrzennym miast. W dnie pradoliny zachowało się cenne środowisko przyrodnicze, dlatego przedstawiono położenie miast na tle obszarów chronionych (park krajobrazowy, obszar Natura 2000). Małe miasta i środowisko przyrodnicze dna pradoliny tworzą harmonijny krajobraz.

Published: February 2017

Vibrio (also known as Listonella) species are widely distributed in aquatic environments and are often mentioned as the aquatic equivalent of aeromonads. The aim of this study is to investigate the exposure of rainbow trouts with V. anguillarum, and determination of antimicrobial resistance of the isolated strains. A total of 100 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) samples were collected from various commercial fish hatcheries in the Aegean Region of Turkey in June 2013. Twelve V. anguillarum were isolated from 100 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) samples. V. anguillarum isolates were resistant to cloxacillin, ampicillin, sulfamethoxazol-trimethoprime and erythromycin in the ratio of 100 %. High levels of resistance are considered to be the result of random antibiotic therapies in aquaculture, hence the results of this study indicated that identification of etiological agent and the exact chemotherapy must be applied in order to prevent residual water contamination and resistant strains of V. anguillarum.

Authors: Nouri Doha Mustafa Al , Arzoo Shaista
Published: February 2017

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term supplementation with dietary lipids on growth and fatty acid composition of rabbit’s brain. Soybean oil, fish oil, sesame oil, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid were fed to weanling rabbits for 100 days. The rabbits were decapitated and brain sample was removed, homogenized and fatty acid concentration was measured by gas chromatography. Dietary lipids had a distinct effect on growth rate only in males. Rabbits fed the fish oil diet showed the highest total w-3 fatty acids and lowest w-6/w-3 ratios. Rabbits fed the DHA diet had highest total saturated fatty acids and lowest values of total MUFA, total PUFA, total w-6, and total w-3 in females. This study shows that w-6/w-3 ratios have tremendous effect on the fatty acid composition of rabbit’s brain. Effect of treatment was not significant among different gender except for total saturated, ARA, C20:1 and C16:0. FO, DHA and DHA+ARA groups showed the w-6/w-3 ratios within the recommended range. This study shows that fatty acid composition of brain can be modulated by dietary lipids and long-term supplementation of dietary lipids especially fish oil (FO) has very good effect on the fatty acid composition of rabbit’s brain.

Published: February 2017

Aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin produced by Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus and A. versicolor are common mycotoxins found in food and feed stuffs. Sterigmatocystin is a direct precursor in aflatoxin biosynthesis. In the present study, Real time PCR using TaqMan probe chemistry was standardized for amplification of the aflatoxin/sterigmatocystin biosynthesis gene omt-1 of Aspergillus spp. The gene was amplified in six cultures of Aspergillus spp. isolated from 53 aflatoxin positive feed samples hence indicating their aflatoxigenic potential. Data clearly revealed that the real time PCR technique is efficient in distinguishing toxigenic strains of A. parasiticus, A. versicolor and A. flavus from other molds commonly inhabiting the feed.

Published: February 2017

The study was aimed at to investigate the anthelmintic efficacy of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Cucurbita pepo against gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep by scientifically validated in vitro and in vivo tests. In vitro anthelmintic activity was determined by egg hatch assay, larval migration inhibition assay and larval development assay against eggs and larvae of mixed gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep. The extracts which were found to be effective in in vitro assays were further evaluated by in vivo faecal egg count reduction test against mixed species of sheep gastrointestinal nematodes with 3 different doses (125, 250 and 500 mg kg-1). Haematological and serum parameters were estimated before and after treatment to determine the impact of plant extracts on health of the animal. Aqueous extract of C. pepo demonstrated significant inhibition of egg hatch at 40 and 80 mg/ml. The ED50 value of egg hatch inhibition was 3.51mg/ml. In larval migration inhibition assay, both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of C. pepo demonstrated inhibition of larval migration and the LM50 was 1.75 and 0.32 mg/ml respectively. However, in larval development assay, both aqueous and ethanolic extracts showed only marginal inhibition of larval development at all concentrations tested. In faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), aqueous extracts of C. pepo at 500 mg/kg caused significant reduction in eggs per gram (96.61 per cent) the reduction being higher than the result obtained with albendazole, the positive control (93.25 per cent). There was a significant difference in EPG reduction between sheep treated with albendazole and C. pepo. Haematological and serum parameters were not affected in both the treated and untreated sheep indicating that the extracts did not cause toxic effects. Based on the results obtained in this study, the aqueous extract of C. pepo possesses anthelmintic activity and could offer an alternative source for the control of gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep.

Published: February 2017

This study was carried out in order to identify suitable soybean lines that were adaptive in tidal swamp land. The research material consisted of 10 soybean promising lines and two varieties (Lawit and Menyapa). The research was carried out in Wanaraya, Barito Kuala, Indonesia, in rainy season 2014. The results showed that among of the 10 soybean lines, Snb/1087-148-2-1 reached the largest grain size (10.04 g/100 grains), followed by Snb/1087-147-2-7 (9.72 g/100 grains) and significantly different to Menyapa (6.86 g/100 grains) and Lawit (9.25 g/100 grains). Although these two lines had larger grain size than Menyapa, but the grain yield per unit area of these two lines were lower. Menyapa produced 1.67 t/ha, while Snb/1087-148-2-1 and Snb/1087-147-2-7 produced 1.18 and 1.42 t/ha respectively. Lower grain yield of these two lines was due to the smaller number of filled pods when compared to Menyapa variety.
The response of some physiological traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)to biochar and phosphorus fertilizer application
Authors: Macil Patricia Jozina , Ogola John Bob Ochanda , Odhiambo Jude Julius Owuor , Lusiba Siphiwe Gloria
Published: February 2017

This study assessed the response of photosynthesis, chlorophyll content (CC), stomatal conductance (SC) and intercepted radiation (IR) of chickpea to biochar (0, 5 10 and 20 t ha-1) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer (0 and 90 kg ha-1) rates in Thohoyandou, South Africa in 2013/2014 summer and winter seasons. Photosynthesis, CC, SC and IR were determined at vegetative and reproductive stages. Biochar increased SC and CC by 22 - 49% and 57 – 126%, respectively. P increased CC by up to 9% in the winter sowing. IR increased with P and biochar application in both sowings. Biochar increased plant height only at 70 days after emergence and P increased plant height at all plant growth stages. Biochar and phosphorus did not affect photosynthesis in either season. Therefore the use of biochar and inorganic phosphorus fertilizer may be beneficial in chickpea cropping systems characterised by poor soils and dry winter seasons.

Published: February 2017

The present experiments were carried out at Department of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV, Akola and Regional Research Centre, Amravati during the years 2013-14 and 2014-15. Fifty five genotypes of cluster bean were assessed for genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2 technique. Among the characters studied in all four environmental conditions, gum content in seed (63.50%), plant spread (17.17%), number of primary branches per plant (4.65%), days to first flower (3.77%), hundred seed weight (2.09%), days to 50 % flowering(1.95%), seed to husk ratio (1.68%) and ten dry pod weight (1.35%) contributed 95 percent to the total divergence. Genotypes were grouped into 8 clusters using Tocher’s method. Cluster V was the largest group, involving 17 genotypes followed by twelve genotypes were grouped in cluster IV, eleven genotypes in cluster III and six genotype each in cluster I and II. The remaining solitary clusters (VI, VII and VIII) contained only one genotype each. The genotypes from the solitary clusters showed high divergence and useful in breeding. The intra-cluster distance ranged from 0 to 9.15. Cluster V possessed the highest intra-cluster distance (D2=9.15), followed by cluster IV (D2=6.34), cluster III (D2=4.71), cluster II (D2=3.31), and cluster I (D2=2.65). The clusters comprised of only one genotype had zero intra-cluster distance (cluster VI to VIII). The average inter-cluster distance reveled the maximum divergence(D²) between cluster V and VIII (D²=37.26) followed by cluster III and V (D²=29.92), cluster VI and VIII (D²=25.51). On the basis of inter cluster distance and performance observed in the present study a breeding programme involving genotypes for a specific character has been selected using cluster mean.

The bio efficacy of some new insecticides and their combinations against pod borer infesting pigeonpea was evaluated at Agronomy farm, RCA, Udaipur using four dosages of Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% @ 150, 200, 250 and 300 ml/ha along with Lambdacyhalothrin 4.9 % CS @ 500 ml / ha, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 162 ml / ha, Profenophos 50 EC @ 1500 ml / ha and Indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 517 ml / ha. Among the various insecticides, lowest population of larvae with a mean of 3.65, 4.16, 2.25 and 2.16 larvae/10 plants was recorded in Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300 ml/ha as against 35.10, 37.0, 39.55 and 38.47 larvae/10 plants in untreated control during 2011 at 7 and 14 days after first and second spray, respectively which was found at par with Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 200, and 250 ml/ha. Similar results were also recorded during 2012 with larval population in the range of 2.10 –7.16/ 10 plants in Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% treated plot @ 200,250 and 300 ml/ha. Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300ml/ha caused highest reduction in pod borer larvae during both the years with a mean reduction of 91.86 and 89.14 per cent during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively. The seed yield among different treatments ranged from 6.75 to 9.50 and 7.87 to 10.78q/ha against 5.35and 6.45q/ha in untreated control during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively. The highest seed yield of 9.50 and 10.78 q/ha/ha was recorded in case of spray of Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300 ml/ha during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The results on genetic parameters in 43 cluster bean genotypes collected from different parts of the country revealed, high estimates of variation for number of branches at 45 and 90 days after sowing (DAS), number of pods per cluster, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant, vegetable pod yield per plant, weight of ten pods, seed endosperm gum content, plant spread (E-W), plant spread (N-S), and vegetable pod yield per plot. The high estimates of heritability coupled with high values of genetic advance over mean (GAM) were observed for the characters number of branches at 45 DAS, plant height at 90 DAS, number of branches at 90 DAS, stem girth, plant spread (E-W), plant spread (N-S), number of pods per cluster, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant, pod length, vegetable pod yield per plant, vegetable pod yield per plot, weight per ten pods, hundred seed weight, seed yield per plant, seed endosperm gum content, protein content in seeds indicates predominance of additive component for these traits and hence direct selection would be more effective in improving these traits.
Study of population dynamics of soybean semi-looper Gesonia gemma Swinhoe by using rule induction model in Maharashtra, India
Authors: Antony# J. Cruz , Pratheepa* M.
Published: February 2017

Gesonia gemma Swinhoe (1885) is a grey semi-looper and it has emerged as a serious threat to the soybean crop. This defoliator causes heavy damage to the crop in the form of loss in grain weight. Gesonia gemma population dynamics was studied in various districts of Maharashtra. Sequential covering algorithm (CN2 rule induction) has been proposed for rule induction model to generate a list of classification rules with target feature (G. gemma population) and the independent abiotic features. The classification rules have exhibited more accuracy and showed that maximum temperature and humidity with less number of rainy days has influenced the population of Gesonia gemma in Maharashtra. Hence, this rule induction model can be used to study the collected evidence for prediction and it will be helpful to the farmers to take necessary pest control strategy.
Molecular cloning of an S-adenosylmethionine synthase gene from pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) and its expression analysis under arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi colonization and drought stress
Authors: Zhang# Guang Qiao#  Bingxue , Wen*# Xiaopeng
Published: February 2017

An S-adenosylmethionine synthase (SAMS) gene associated with the drought responsiveness was isolated and characterized from pigeon pea. It was designated CcSAMS and contained an open reading frame of 1,182 bp, which encoded 394 amino acid residues. Sequence analysis of the cloned cDNA showed 94% identity with SAMS from other plant species, suggesting that this gene was considerably conserved in plants. Gene expression analysis demonstrated that CcSAMS was highly expressed in the leaves of AM-colonized plants, irrespective of exposure to either drought or drought-free. Rather, the expression levels of AM plants were significantly higher than that of NAM plants as subjected to drought stress. Therefore, AM symbiosis might enhance the expression of CcSAMS, and the elevated tolerance of AM- colonized pigeon pea to drought-stress was at least partially ascribed to the overexpression of SAMS gene.

Pod shattering (Dehiscence) severely reduces seed yield in soybean. Molecular tagging of pod shattering resistance can help in the process of breeding for shattering tolerance. In this study, an segregating population of cross (susceptible cultivar Monetta x tolerant genotype MACS-450) was used for bulked segregant analysis (BSA) with 26 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers known to amplify markers linked to 22 qPDH loci. Among them, eight polymorphic SSR markers, viz., Sat_350 (qPDH1-7), Satt185 (qPDH1-3), Satt674 (qPDH1-5 loci), Satt166 (qPDH3-5), SRM1 (qPDH1 loci) Sat_342 (qPDH3-2), Satt685 (qPDH1-2) and Sat_407 (qPDH3-1) were able to distinguish parents differing for pod shattering of them two primers Satt 166 and SRM1 yielded markers polymorphic in between shattering tolerant and susceptible bulks by amplifying only Satt166-200 bp marker and SRM1-234bp marker only in tolerant bulks. Only Satt166-200 bp marker was observed in tolerant parent, bulks and 14 plants; while another 237 bp marker for pod shattering susceptibility got amplified in 46 plants including 8 plants that were heterozygous for both alleles. SRM1-234 bp marker was observed only in tolerant parent, bulks and 15 plants; while another 237 bp marker for pod shattering susceptibility got amplified in 45 plants. In combined marker analysis, the markers Satt 166 (qPDH3-5 loci) and SRM1 (qPDH1 loci) were linked with pod shattering score and were also confirmed in individual 60 F2 segregants. Hence, these markers could be utilized in the marker assisted for pod shattering resistance/tolerance breeding of qPDH3-5 like and qPDH1 genes.

A total of 32 genotypes collected from different geographical areas evaluated at one site to determine the genetic variability. Considerable diversity was found in different traits of horticultural importance. Principal component analysis showed more than 84 % of total multivariate variation for important traits in different genotypes. Pod yield, pod length,10 pods weight and pods per plant were found to be major traits contributing towards principal component-I. Similarly, seeds per pod, secondary branches/plant, pod length were main positive contributing traits towards second component. Ten pod weight, pod width were positively contributing component towards principal component third. Pods per plant and shelling percentage were main traits contributing to principal component-IV, where as plant height, pod length and pod width were major positively contributing traits towards principal component -V. PS-1100, Meethi Phali, PB-87 and FC-1 were most divergent genotypes. On the basis of cluster mean of single linkage cluster analysis, Custer-I was best for number of primary branches and shelling percentage, Cluster -II for plant height,10 pods weight and pod yield per plant, cluster-III for number of pods /plants and cluster IV for pod length. Selection of genotypes from divergent clusters and components having more than one positive traits for hybridization programme may lead to improvement in yield and quality of pea.
„VASPITLJIVOST EMOCIJA”: PREMA „EMOCIONALNO PISMENOJ ŠKOLI“
Authors: Marić Jurišin Stanislava , Kostović Svetlana
Published: February 2017

Poslednjih godina emocionalna pismenost kao koncept, zasluženo pronalazi svoje mesto i u vaspitno-obrazovnom sistemu. Škola kao, deklarisana  ustanova  sa vaspitnom funkcijom postaje mesto na kome se emocije ‚‚uče” i ‚‚vaspitavaju”. U radu je dat osvrt na istorijski razvoj koncepta emocionale pismenosti i soci-emocionalnih kompetencija kao ključnih kompetencija za XXI vek. Za polaznu osnovu uzet je Štajnerov model učenja emocionalne pismenosti pri čemu se poseban naglasak stavlja na segmente emocionalne svesnosti kao što su: emocionalna otupelost, fizičke senzacije, haotično primalno iskustvo, diferencijacija emocija, empatija i interaktivnost. Analizirajući relevantnu literaturu primetno je da raste broj istraživanja čiji rezultati idu u prilog tvrdnjama da se socijalne i emocionalne kompetencije mogu naučiti kroz programe integrisane u školski kurikulum, pri čemu takvi programi utiču i na smanjenje problematičnog ponašanja učenika i emocionalnih poteškoća, a istovremeneo povećavaju socijalnu prilagođenost i podstiču akademska postignuća. U radu je dat prikaz aktuelnog stanja u našim školama kao i primeri dobre prakse iz zemalja koji se već duže bave socijalno-emocionalnim učenjem. Uzimajući u obzir akutnu situaciju na ovom polju u vaspitno-obrazovnoj praksi u R Srbiji u radu su date i značajne pedagoške implikacije koje ukazuju da u tom procesu podjednaka prava ali i obaveze imaju nastavnici, deca, škola, porodica, lokalna zajednica, resorno ministarstvo...

Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTChildren are the ones who are at risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB), but so far it has not been a priority. The proportion of tuberculosis in children case detection remains low among all tuberculosis cases. Bojonegoro is one among regencies in East Java which was appointed as the operational trial tuberculin test. The case detection begins with screening of tuberculosis suspects. Screening of tuberculosis suspected children by health centers officer will determine how much the cases of tuberculosis in children are found in health centers. Health officers at the health centers became the most dominant factor in screening of tuberculosis suspected children. Training about tuberculosis in children was done in 16 health centers among 36 health centers in Bojonegoro. This study aimed to analyze the effect of training to the screening of tuberculosis suspected children by health center officers in Bojonegoro. This study is observational analytic with cross-sectional design. The sampling technique is simple random sampling with respondents consisting of 29 doctors and 29 nurses who are responsible for tuberculosis programs in 29 health centers in Bojonegoro. The variables studied were the training and screening of tuberculosis suspected children. The results showed that screening of tuberculosis suspected children was inappropriate from the target (75.9%) and officers who have not attended the training of tuberculosis in children were 58.6%. Logistic regression test showed that there was effect of training to the screening of tuberculosis suspected children (p = 0.019) and prevalence ratio showed that health officers who was attended the training of tuberculosis in children were able to do the screening of tuberculosis suspected children well 8,50 times greater than those who didn’t. The training for the officers who have not attended the training of tuberculosis in children needs to be done, so that screening of tuberculosis suspected children in Bojonegoro can be optimally implemented.Keywords: screening, suspected, training, tuberculosis, tuberculosis in children

Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTTree-Month injectable hormonal contraceptive quarterly causes an increase in BMI. Increased BMI is one of the main reasons why the contraceptive users stopped their contraceptive. However, increased BMI was not experienced by all users, there are other factors that can influence increased BMI, such as consumption, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lifestyle to anthropometic change in the injectable hormonal contraceptive users. This study used observational analytic study and case control design. The sample size use simple random sampling technique. To determine the effect and odd ratio, this study used a simple logistic regression test. The results showed that lifestyle factor that affect and risk for anthropometric changein the three-month contraceptive users is sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior ≥ 3 hours per day can increase the risk of increased BMI 9,048 times compared with sedentary behavior < 3 hours per day. The conclusion is sedentary lifestyle affected increased BMI among three- month injectable hormonal contraceptive users. By reducing sedentary behavior habit and increasing exercise behaviour, three-month injectable contraceptive users can prevent the risk of increased BMI.Keywords: contraceptive, acceptor, lifestyle, BMI, sedentary
