Studies on prevalence of cestode parasites in fresh water fish, Channa punctatus from Meerut (Uttarpradesh ) India
Authors: Sharma Bindu
Published: January 2019

The present investigation deals with the prevalence of three cestode parasites viz. Lytocestus sp., Proteocephalus sp. and Gangesia sp. collected from the intestine of a freshwater fish Channa punctatus in different blocks of Meerut region (U.P.) India during June, 2014 to May, 2015. A total of 125 parasites were collected throughout theyear. The high incidence of infection of all these species Lytocestus sp., Proteocephalus sp., Gangesia sp. was recorded in summer season (70.83%, 77.27% abd 72 % respectively) followed by winter season (63.63%, 57.89% abd 52.38% respectively) whereas infection was low in monsoon season (36.84%, 27.78% abd 23.52% respectively). The present study clearly indicates that the intensity of infection throughout the year was found highest in summer season followed by winter and lowest in monsoon. Findings show that beginning of the breeding period, feeding habitat, presence of intermediate host and environmental factors are influencing the seasonality of cestode parasitic infection.

Authors: Pandey Yamuna , Bhatt S. S.
Published: January 2019

The constantly increasing demand for nutraceuticals is paralleled by a more pronounced request for natural ingredients and health-promoting foods. The multiple functional properties of Rubus ellipticus fits well in this trend. Recent data (49.5 ?g/ml) revealed the high content of antioxidant and other phytochemical properties, which can give added value to this fruit on both nutritional and nutraceutical basis. With different essential compounds such as 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, potassium ferricyanide, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), L-ascorbic acid, ellagic acid, quercetin, catechin, 1,1-diphenyl-2- picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) being present in different parts of plant a thorough research is well awaited into this underrated and underutilised plant. With no due care and agronomic operations needed, R. ellipticus may be used for varied horticultural benefits which may further reduce the surmountable pressure of few fruit crops.

Published: January 2019

In this study, the toxicity of liquid culture media from different isolates of Lasiodiplodia theobromae was characterized and some properties of the toxic metabolites were distinguished. In this work toxin producing ability of L. theobromae was revealed by studying the physical parameters viz., osmotic potential, toxin concentration, pH, temperature and biological parameter like host specificity and wilting index. The obtained results showed that the optimal toxin-production conditions for L. theobromae in potato dextrose broth under pH 6.0, at 25-35°C for 7 days. The liquid culture from all isolates were toxic to mango plants and induced the rapid wilting. The toxin obtained from the liquid culture has thermal, acid base stability and a broad range of toxicity to main host and non-host plants. Moreover, the direct bioassay for two components of the liquid filtrates precipitated by ethanol showed that the active ingredient of the toxin is a kind of non protein substance, which was further endorsed by the papain hydrolysis analysis. Our results confirmed the chemical nature of toxic compound elucidating the favorable environmental conditions for toxin production of L. theobromae and proved potential role of toxic metabolites in the mechanism of disease development.

Published: January 2019

A laboratory experiment was conducted at Department of Seed Science and Technology, UAS Raichur to estimate ABA content in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) using Phytodetek ABA Test Kit. ABA estimation in millets is helpful to trace out the reason behind the dormancy in millets and is less explored. Nine genotypes were studied in the present investigation. Among the foxtail millet genotypes, the highest dormancy duration of 35 days was observed in two genotypes viz., DHFt-4-5 and DHFt-5-3 and slight dormancy was noticed in the genotype DHFt- 35-1. The genotype DHFt-35-1 recorded lowest ABA concentration of 3.199 pmol/g f. w. followed by genotypes DHFt-2-5 and DHFt-2-5-1 (3.266 and 3.291 pmol/g f. w. respectively). Highest ABA concentration was found in DHFt-5-3 (3.404 pmol/g f. w.) followed by DHFt-4-5 (3.396 pmol/g f. w.). Thus it was concluded that ABA in millet seeds makes them ‘climate smart crops’ and during the climate change regime, it is only millets that can ensure India’s food and nutrition needs in future.

In a multi-enterprise agriculture model, six different cropping systems have been evaluated at research farm of CSSRI Karnal for nutrient availability in surface soil. All the cropping systems left tremendous effect on soil quality. Among the different cropping systems, sorghum-berseem maintained lowest soil pH (8.14) followed by cowpea-cauliflower-potato cropping system (8.35). Sorghum-berseem cropping system was significantly build-up of soil fertility in terms of available nitrogen, (221.1kg/ha) and soil organic carbon (0.59%) as compared to other cropping systems. However, phosphorus (59.80 kg/ha) availability was higher in vegetable system followed by wheat-green gram cropping systems (48.85 kg/ha) than the other cropping systems. Vegetable system of multi-enterprise agriculture model showed more availability of Ca (3.20 me/L), Mg (2.63 me/L) and S (11.71 me/L) than other cropping systems. Higher amount of Fe (8.44 mg/kg) was observed in maize-wheat-green gram cropping system, whereas higher Mn (6.37 mg/kg) was noticed in sorghum-berseem fodder system than the other cropping system. Zn and Cu availability was relatively higher in vegetable system. Under prevailing climatic conditions of Karnal, sorghum-berseem fodder system was found to be the best with respect to soil quality and ready adaptability by the farmers as it was not much changed by climatic variability over the last 6 years. Vegetable system and fruits + vegetable were more or less similar in accelerating the availability of nutrients. Thus, leguminous crop (green gram) in any cropping system helped in improving the soil health, which is a good indicator of soil productivity.

Published: January 2019

White rust distributed worldwide, caused by Albugo candida (Pers. Ex. Lev.) Kuntze. (A. Cruciferarum S. F. Gray) is one of the major disease responsible in reducing the yield of rapeseed-mustard. Among various management approaches use of resistant varities is consider best, as it is cost effective and environment friendly. However, till now only few resistant sources against the disease has been reported. Therefore, in the present investigation 70 rapeseed-mustard germplasm have been evaluated in field under epiphytotic conditions during 2011-12 and 2012-13 crop seasons. All the germplasms showed similar disease reaction after screening in both the years. Among 70 germplasm, seven germpalsms i.e. DLDC-1, DRMR-100, DRMR-312, EC-339000, GSL-1, NPJ-158 and RH-0644 were found free from the disease with 0% disease severity. These germplasms could be used in breeding programmes for the development of resistant genotypes having high yield potential.

Published: January 2019

The present study was carried out mainly concentrate on assessment of heavy metal in the surrounding soils and their bioconcentration in the different plants near Kathajodi River. Soil and plant samples were collected along the Kathajodi river, Odisha, India. It was found that the dominance of heavy metals follows a decreasing order. The metal concentrations measured in soil at all location generally decreased in the order; Fe > Mn > Ni> Pb> Cu> Zn> Cd. Highest heavy metal concentration in river bank soil Cd (0.72±0.05 mgkg-1); Ni (3.85±0.15 mgkg-1); Cu (1.66±0.15 mgkg-1); Zn (1.54±0.16 mgkg-1); Pb (4.11±0.14 mgkg-1); Fe (142.0±1.16 mgkg-1); Mn (37.30±1.16 mgkg-1) at different site . Among all the grass species I. laxum has the higher affinity for the accumulation of Cd (0.85±0.05) followed by Zn, Pb and Cu. This study indicates that bio concentration of heavy metals in the study area show preferential Cd uptake in the plants followed by Zn, Pb and it may lead to accumulates in the exposed plant part posing risk along the food chain. This calls for immediate action to be implemented to carry out necessary environment mitigation measures for the river as it can be attributed the discharge of untreated domestic waste and effluents in the river.

Authors: Singh M. , Sharma Sushil , Kumar Mukesh
Published: January 2019

An experiment was carried out to find out the effective management practices to control the recently recorded pathogen (Fusarium solani) inciting root rot disease in Bael. Rampant incidence due to this pathogen is resulting in excess damage and reduction in acreage. Out of six fungicides screened in vitro, Topsin-M and Bavistin stood at first place in inhibiting the mycelial growth of F. solani. Topsin-M showed 100% inhibition at 50 ppm concentration whereas Bavistin showed 100% inhibition at 150 ppm concentration. Bavistin and Topsin-M as seed dressers effectively protected pre and post emergence seedlings mortality to the tune of 68.75 and 70.95%; 65.00 and 67.54%, respectively. Pre-sowing drenching of soil with Bavistin (0.4%) reduced the pre-emergence mortality from 26.50 to 8.25% and post-emergence mortality from 39.00 to 16.25%. The integration of seed treatment and pre-sowing drenching resulted in 72.51% control of pre emergence mortality and 82.92% control of post emergence mortality. In dual culture method, maximum inhibition of mycelial growth was recorded with Trichoderma harzianum (72.18%) followed by T. viride (67.70%). Glomus mosseae in combination with T. harzianum was found very effective against F. solani under screen house conditions as minimum pre emergence mortality (10.00%) and post emergence mortality (13.25%) against control where the values were 27.25% and 40.25%, respectively. The studies and results compiled here in provide an explanation for the potential of selected fungicides and antagonists in the control of bael root rot disease.

The importance of agriculture to the socio-economic development of the country cannot be overemphasized. Agriculture sector is potentially the largest employment providing sector in the country. Despite this, unemployment is high among rural youth, who prefer to migrate to urban areas to take up low paying jobs. The present study was carried out mainly to find out the characteristics of rural youth and their attitude towards agriculture as a means of livelihood. The study was conducted in four villages in Udham Singh Nagar district in Uttarakhand. Data was collected from 115 youth using pretested interview schedule. It was found that maximum number of respondents (31.30 %) had education up to higher secondary level, majority were students (46.96 %) and had medium level of mass media exposure (72.17 %) and change proneness (58.30 %). The study indicates that majority (85.20 %) of the respondents had neutral attitude towards agriculture followed by 13.90 percent of the respondents who had negative attitude towards agriculture and only 0.90 % respondents had positive attitude towards agriculture. The study indicates that the findings will help extension policy makers to frame appropriate training programmes for educating youth regarding opportunities in agriculture and allied sectors.

Authors: Thakur Tanya , Grewal H.S.
Published: January 2019

The study was conducted to determine the effect of duration of night interruption using incandescent bulbs on sustained quality flower production of potted standard Chrysanthemum cv. Kikiobiory. The different night interruption (NI) treatments i.e. control, <5 sec. flash, 30-, 60-, 90- and 120- min. significantly (p<0.05) affected allthe vegetative and floral parameters. The plant height, number of leaves and root suckers per plant increased with the increase duration of NI treatments with maximum at 120- min. NI (90.42 cm, 34.75 and 12.10, respectively). The days taken to flower bud appearance, colour break stage and full bloom were delayed, whereas flower quality with respect to duration of flowering and flower diameter were deteriorated with increase in duration of NI treatments. The days taken to flower bud appearance, colour break stage and full bloom were highest at 120- min. NI (136.84, 183.22 and 202.25 days, respectively) which delayed the flowering by 63.94 days, where full bloom flower appeared in March. There was reduction in duration of flowering and flower diameter with increased NI duration with lowest at 120 min. NI (7.83 days and 15.69 cm). It was observed that increase (120 min.) in night interruption increased the vegetative growth and delayed the flowering; however, flower quality was deteriorated. Thus, it was concluded that 60 min. NI improved flower quality with sustained flower production in potted Chrysanthemum cv. Kikiobiory.

Nineteen insecticidal formulations from 10 groups of insecticides were evaluated for their relative toxicity against cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley and its fortuous parasitoid Aenasius bambawalei Hayat. Insects were exposed to cotton leaves dipped in insecticidal solutions and their mortality was recorded at 24-h intervals. Within 24 h of exposure, Quinalphos, Chlorpyriphos, Thiamethoxam and Profenophos have detrimental effect on both P. solenospis and A. bambawalei recorded more than 70% mortality. Thiodicarb was extremely toxic to P. solenopsis and least toxic to A. bambawalei where as Spinosad was less toxic to P. solenopsis and extremely toxic to A. bambawalei. Profenophos, Thiamethoxam and Chlorpyriphos results into > 90% mortality of P. solenospsis while 100% kill of A. bambawalei with Spinosad, Acephate and Chlorpyriphos up to 48 hours. More than 80% mortality of P. solenopsis with Chlorpyriphos, Profenophos, Monocrotophos, Thiamethoxam, Spinosad and of A. bambawalei with Profenophos, Monocrotophos, Flonicamid, Buprofezin, Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Chlorantraniliprole, Flonicamid and Indoxacarb recorded 72 hours after exposure. While at 96 hours, cent per cent mortality of P. solenopsis was recorded with Monocrotophos which was equivalent to Acephate and Spinosad. Least LT50 values were found with Thiodicarb, Quinalphos and Thiamethoxam for P. solenopsis and higher in case of Thiodicarb for A. bambawalei. Spinosad, Chlorpyriphos and Quinalphos were found to be extremely toxic to A. bambawalei. Among the tested insecticides Thiodicarb was found effective against P. solenopsis and relatively safer to A. bambawalei may be used judiciously to manage P. solenopsis that have least implications on the environment.

Published: January 2019

The present study on fish biodiversity of Haryana state was carried out during 2011 to 2014. A total number of 59 fish species inhabits the freshwaters of this state. Maximum number of fish species belonged to the order Cypriniformes (35) followed by the order Siluriformes (12) and Perciformes (8). The orders Beloniformes,Clupeiformes, Osteoglossiformes and Synbranchiformes were represented by only one species each. Out of 59 fish species, 2 are endangered, 11 vulnerable, 28 have lower risk of threat, 8 exotic and 4 fish species have lower risk least concern. The conservation status of six fish species has not been evaluated so far, hence they cannot be included in any of the IUCN categories at this moment. Family Cyprinidae alone contributed 32 fish species followed by Bagridae family. Fish species Parapsilorhynchus discophorus was observed for the first time in Haryana waters. This species is the native of Kaveri river basin, the occurrence of this species in river Yamuna may be attributed to some religious activity of people. A decline in fish diversity has been recorded from 82 species in 2004 to 59 species in the present study in the year 2014. The main causes for decrease in fish biodiversity are habitat destruction and fragmentation, changing practices of land use, exotic species introduction, fishing, irrigation needs, pollution and global climate change impacts. It is essential to prevent further decline of fish resources by devising all possible measures of conservation and rehabilitation.

This study indicated that the MD with 4 m mole spacing is recommended for economically feasible production of chickpea under irrigated and waterlogged vertisols of Maharashtra.
Advent of Trichoderma as a bio-control agent- A review
Authors: Puyam Anita
Published: January 2019

Trichoderma spp are free living filamentous fungi. They are cosmopolitan and versatile in nature. They have the potential to produce several enzymes that can degrade the cell wall materials. Also, they release a number of fungi toxic substances that can inhibit the growth of the fungal pathogens. Many mechanisms have been described on how Trichoderma exert beneficial effects on plants as a bio-control agent. But due to its versatile nature, its potential cannot be explored to its full extent. And it is a developing science in the field of bio-control with its new discoveries adding to the usefulness of the fungi as a bio-control agent. Its development as a bio-control agent passes through many phases and each phase adding novel ideas that will help in the development of an efficient bio-agent which in turn will help in the crop improvement and disease management. The studies on their various aspects responsible for bio-control will open a flood gate to the development of Trichoderma as an efficient and reliable bio-agent and provide a better scope for implementation in crop and disease management. The in vitro antagonistic activity of Trichoderma viride against phytopathogens (Sclerotium rolfsii, Fusarium oxysporum f.s.p. ciceri, Fusarium oxysporum f.s.p. udum) was studied and it was found to be potentially effective against F. oxysporum f.s.p. ciceri followed by F. oxysporum f.s.p. udum and Sclerotium rolfsii.

Published: January 2019

Oilseed Brassicas are contributing approximately 28 percent of the India’s total oilseed production. This crop is gaining wide acceptance among t he f a rme r s b e ca u s e of adaptability for both irrigated as well as rainfed areas and suitability for sole as well as mixed cropping. Besides, it offers higher return with low cost of production and low water requirement. The production and productivity of oilseed brassicas are comparatively lower as compared to the world average due to the biotic and abiotic constraints. Among the biotic constraints, alternaria blight disease caused by Alternaria spp. has been reported from all the continents of the world, causing up to 70% yield losses in India. This disease was found on leaves, stems and siliquae and dark spots on the leaves and siliquae reduce the photosynthetic capacity and induce immature ripening, which causes reduced amount of quality seed and oil content. The severity of this disease depends upon weather conditions, varieties, age of host plants and virulence of the pathogens. Efforts are being done throughout the world for the management of alternaria blight of rapeseed-mustard. This paper comprehensively reviews the research of alternaria blight of rapeseed-mustard with special reference to management strategies through conventional, non conventional and biotechnological approaches that leads to planning the future research. The present scenario demands the traditional and modern biotechnological techniques bringing together for integrated disease management according to the need and availability at farmers level for sustainable management of alternaria blight disease of oilseed brassicas.
Megapolitical Cases before the Constitutional Court of Indonesia since 2004: An Empirical Study
Authors: Dressel Björn , Inoue Tomoo
Published: January 2019

The Constitutional Court of Indonesia is considered one of Asia’s most activist courts. Here we investigate empirically possible determinants of the decisions of its judges over the period 2003–18. The findings are based on a unique data set of 80 high-profile political cases, complemented by data on the socio-biographic profiles of 26 judges who served during that period. Testing for common perceptions of the Constitutional Court since its inception, we first describe patterns in judicial decision-making across time and court composition before testing specifically for the impact of the judges’ professional backgrounds, presidential administrations, the influence of the Chief Justice, and cohort behaviour. The analysis finds declining dissent among justices on the bench over time and also provides evidence of strategic behaviour of justices at the ending of their own terms. But there is little statistical evidence that judicial behaviour has been affected by work background (except for those coming from the executive branch), appointment track or generation – hence suggesting that justices seem to retain more independence than the public seems to perceive. We then discuss the results in the context of Indonesia’s evolving constitutional democracy and look at the implications for comparative studies of judicial behaviour.
Harmonization of Regulation Based on Pancasila Values Through the Constitutional Court of Indonesia
Authors: Sudrajat Tedi
Published: January 2019

The legal system which is adopted and applied in Indonesia was based on the formation from the founding fathers which is adjusted to the condition and the spirit of Indonesia as a nation known for its legal system as Pancasila. Ideally, Pancasila serves as the philosophy for the nation of Indonesia, as state's ideology and as the basis of the state. However, in reality, vertical conflicts (government and society) and horizontal conflict (inter-society) have created a variety of concerns, in which the sense of nationalism and diversity has diminished. The trigger is because Pancasila can only be understood as the ideology and the basis of the state, without saturating the meaning contained therein. The paradigm development of Pancasila based on legal state should demand the development of a democratic constitutional state, which juxtaposes the principles of a rule-of-law (nomocracy) with harmonious and complementary principles of the sovereignty of the people (democracy). This role can be solved by the Constitutional Court to harmonize the ideology of Pancasila in the Indonesia legal substance. When the legal development is integrated into meaning, the legal development which characterized by Pancasila can be realized to resolve the variety of community conflicts.

Birbiriyle iletişimdeki akıllı cihazlarla sürekli etkileşimde olduğumuz günümüzde, herkes düzenli olarak veri üretmektedir. Gündelik hayatın verileşmesi yönetim ve toplumsal yaşama dair normlarımızı dönüştürürken; daha önce görülmemiş miktardaki bu verinin gündelik pratiklere yarar sağlayacak şekilde nasıl kullanılacağı sorgulanmaktadır. Yurttaşlar günlerini veri selinde boğulmadan düzenleyebilmek; gazetecilerse veriyi haberlerinde kullanmak için yeni teknolojilerin sunduğu fırsatları değerlendirmek için yeni araçlara ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Ham veriyi işleyerek sıradan okuyucu için anlamlı birşeye dönüştürmek gerekliliği, gazetecilik mesleğinde yeni bir alan olarak veri gazeteciliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Veri gazeteciliği kavramını 2010 tarihli WikiLeaks sızıntısına borçluyuz. ABD ve Avrupa’da konuya yönelik akademik ilgi, WikiLeaks’le eş zamanlı başlar ve kavramı teknolojik gelişme ve dijitalleşme kadar; ifade özgürlüğü, şeffaflık ve demokrasiyle ilişkilendiren geniş bir literatür mevcuttur. Ancak Türkiye’de konuya yönelik profesyonel ve akademik ilgi hala başlangıç aşamasındadır. Gazeteciliğin veriye-dayalı süreçlerle dönüştürülmesi, şu açılardan önemli görülmektedir: 1.  Derinlemesine inceleme olanağı, medyanın dördüncü güç işlevini pekiştirir, yönetimlerin hesap sorulabilirliğini arttırır. 2.  İlgili kurumlar üzerinde şeffaflaşma yönünde baskı unsuru oluşturur, hatalı uygulamaları ortaya çıkararak kamu yararı sağlar. 3.  Veriye dayandırmak, haberin nesnelliğini arttırarak okuyucuların medyaya yönelik güvenini tazeler. 4.  Yurttaşların enformasyonun üretimine ve demokratik süreçlere katılımını arttırır. Çalışmada, veri gazeteciliği yukarıda bahsedilen boyutlarıyla ele alınmakta, demokrasi ve katılıma dair anlayışımızı nasıl dönüştürebileceği tartışılmaktadır. Veri gazeteciliği ile ilgili mevcut literatürün taranmasına odaklanan çalışma ayrıca, mahremiyet, kişisel verilerin korunması, unutulma hakkı, doğrulama, enformasyon akışına aşağıdan-yukarıya yön verilmesi ve veri okuryazarlığının geliştirilmesi gibi, veri gazeteciliğin dönüştürücü işlevini zayıflatabilecek etik ve teknik sorunlara da değinmektedir. Türkçe’de yeni gelişmekte olan bu alandaki kuramsal tartışmayı besleyecek bir başlangıç çalışması olma amacındadır.
Modern İktisadın Öğretilmesinde Gazetelerin Rolü ve Gazetelerdeki İktisat Kitabı Tefrikaları (1860-1870 Dönemi)

Klasik İktisat Düşüncesi 1776 senesinde Adam Smith’in eseriyle ortaya çıktıktan sonra Osmanlı devletinde bu düşüncenin görüşleri 1830’lu yıllarda ülkede ikamet eden Blak Bey, David Urquhart ve Churchill tarafından dönemin gazetelerinde dillendirilmeye başlanmıştır. 1830’larda bu şahıslar tarafından bu düşüncenin girmesinden sonra ülkede Batılı anlamda ilk ekonomi kitapları yayımlanmaya başlamış, sırasıyla Serendi Arşizen, Sehak Abru, Charles Wells, Şerif Efendi ve Mehmet Mithat’ın kitapları yayımlamıştır. Aynı zamanda Takvim-i Vekayi, Ceride-i Havadis, Tercüman-ı Ahval, Mecmua-i Fünun, Tasvir-i Efkar ve Terakki gazetelerinde ekonomi ilminin ilkeleri hakkında yazılar yayımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada yayımlanan ilk kitaplar ve gazetelerde yayımlanan makalelere değinilmiştir. Sonra Mehmet Şerif Efendi’nin “İlm-i Emval-i Milliye” adlı eseri ile Mehmet Mithat’ın “Ekonomi Tercümesi: Fenni İdare” adlı ekonomi kitaplarının Tercüman-ı Ahval ve Terakki’de yayımlanmış bölümlerinin içeriği incelenmiştir.

Pubertal development mediates the association between family environment and brain structure and function in childhood
Authors: Thijssen Sandra , Collins Paul , Luciana Monica
Published: January 2019

Psychosocial Acceleration Theory suggests that pubertal maturation is accelerated in response to adversity. Additionally, suboptimal caregiving accelerates development of the amygdala-medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) circuit. These findings may be related. Here, we assess whether associations between family environment (FE) and measures of the amygdala-mPFC circuit are mediated by pubertal development in n=2000+ 9-10 y.o. children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD, http://dx.doi.org/10.15154/1412097). Using Structural Equation Modeling, demographic, child-reported, and parent-reported data on family dynamics were compiled into a higher-level FE latent variable. MRI preprocessing and compilations were performed by ABCD’s data analysis core. Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) thickness, area, white matter fractional anisotropy, amygdala volume, and cingulo-opercular network (CON)-amygdala resting-state functional connectivity (FC) were assessed. For CON-left amygdala FC, ACC cortical thickness and ACC fractional anisotropy, significant indirect effects indicated that stressful FE relates to more advanced pubertal stage and more mature brain function/structure. For CON-amygdala FC, a marginally significant indirect effect was found. For ACC area, evidence for quadratic mediation by pubertal stage was found. Sex stratified analyses suggest stronger results for girls. Despite small effect sizes, structural measures of circuits important for emotional behavior are associated with FE and show initial evidence of accelerated pubertal development.

There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect is real. A recent pre-registered experiment with the Stroop task as the depleting task and the antisaccade task as the outcome task found a medium level effect size. In the current research, we pre-registered a multi-lab collaborating project to replicate that experiment. Data from twelve labs across the globe (N = 1775) revealed a small but significant ego depletion effect, g = 0.12, CI95 = [0.02, 0.21]. The data also provided some evidence in support of a moderating effect of individual differences in lay theory about willpower, such that participants with an unlimited-resource theory evinced a weaker depletion effect. Finally, a series of auxiliary analyses provided important implications for future studies investigating the robustness of ego depletion, such that strictly controlled experimental settings and outcome tasks with medium difficulty might be better for observing a stronger depletion effect.
The Police Use of Background Information Related to Alleged Victims in Mock Evaluations of Child Sexual Abuse

Published: January 2019

When statistically related to child sexual abuse (CSA), background information can assist decision-making in investigations of CSA allegations. Here, we studied the use of such background information among Finnish police officers. We analyzed their ability to identify and interpret CSA-related and -unrelated background information both when placed in mock scenarios and when presented as separate variables. We also measured the ability to correctly estimate the base-rate of CSA allegations being true based on such background information. In the context of mock scenarios, officers were better in discarding CSA-unrelated variables than in identifying CSA-related ones. Within-subject performance across different scenarios was, however, not consistent. When information was presented as separate variables, officers tended to incorrectly consider many CSA-unrelated variables as CSA-related. Officers performed well in recognizing whether CSA-related variables increase or decrease CSA risk. Finally, officers were inaccurate in identifying variables that are CSA-related only for boys or only for girls. When asked to estimate the CSA probability of mock scenarios, participants were accurate only in assessing low-probability cases, and this was not associated with the ability to identify CSA-related and -unrelated variables. We conclude that police officers would benefit from more training in using background information and from using available decision-making support tools in the context of investigating CSA allegations.

The Rights of the Child After Divorce Due to the Sparring of the Wife

Marriage is a human desire to let go of solitude in navigating the twists and turns of life. Marriage generally applies to every creature created by God, both humans, plants and animals. In essence marriage is a sense of love, obligation, fulfillment of sexual desire and continuation of offspring. Rights of minors after divorce, parents must maintain and educate their children as well as possible. In article 4 of the Marriage Law, fathers are responsible for all the costs of care and education of children needed, if the father cannot fulfill his obligations, the court can determine that the mother also bears the costs of care and education for the child also divorced. The purpose of this study is; to find out custody of minors due to divorce from a married couple; to know the judges' judgment in determining child care responsibilities. This type of research is normative juridical, descriptive analytical nature, and data sources for this research are obtained through secondary data, namely data collected through document studies on the language library.

Juridical Review of  Unilateral Termination of Employment by the Company to the Worker on Putusan No.36/G/2014/PHI Medan
Disputes or misunderstandings that cause layoffs are generally triggered by a lack of communication between workers and employers. The workers are positioned as the party in need, therefore the position of workers is very weak and vulnerable to irregularities. The problems in this study are: 1) How are the Government and the Company's Efforts Against Employee Layoffs? 2) What is the legal consideration of the judge in deciding unilateral termination of disputes by the company Decision Number: 36/G/2014/PHI.Mdn? This type of research is normative research,. In this case the Industrial Court in the Medan District Court decided to grant the Plaintiff's claim in part, stating that the working relationship between the defendant and the plaintiffs had never been terminated or continued, sentencing the defendant to reinstate the plaintiffs and place them in the original workplace, punishing the defendant for pay for forced money (dwangsoom).
Handling of Blackplate in Metallographic Preparation and Heat Treatment Optimization via Quenching Dilatometry
Authors: Schmidtseifer N. , Weber S.
Published: January 2019

A prerequisite for the successful optimization of a heat treatment for high-alloyed steels is the knowledge about the present initial microstructure. The metallographic preparation and characterization of the initial microstructure poses a challenge, especially for blackplate, due to its low thickness. In this article, a method is presented which facilitates the handling of blackplate during metallographic preparation. With a precise knowledge of the initial microstructure, tests for the optimization of a heat treatment for such blackplate can also be performed. An optimization of the heat treatment process is particularly important for energy and resource efficient manufacturing processes. In this work, a preparation method was developed which allows winding blackplate to hollow cylinders to determine the optimized heat treatment parameters with the help of a quenching and deformation dilatometer. It will be shown that the two methods presented are an efficient but yet reliable way to optimize heat treatment processes of blackplate via laboratory tests.
