Those Who Remained and Those Who Returned
Authors: González Fredy
Published: January 2018

This chapter examines three case studies of Chinese communities which successfully resisted anti-Chinese campaigns: Baja California, Tamaulipas, and Chiapas. Anti-Chinese activists tried to replicate the Chinese expulsions of Sonora and Sinaloa in these areas, but anti-Chinese campaigns lacked popular or governmental support. After the conclusion of the anti-Chinese campaigns, these three communities held the largest Chinese communities in the country. Additionally, this chapter examines the effort by some Chinese Mexicans to return to Mexico after the anti-Chinese campaigns calmed down, convinced that hostility against them had gone away.
We Won’t Be Bullied Anymore
Authors: González Fredy
Published: January 2018

Chinese Mexican political and financial support in support of the Republic of China during the Second World War was motivated by a desire for ‘home’ – both the desire for peace in migrants’ home communities in Guangdong province as well as a desire for increased respect in Mexico. Activities in support of the Chinese government included monetary contributions as well as cultural activities which helped bring the community together around the country. Chinese Mexican political activities and celebrations for the first time brought them in contact with friends and neighbors in Mexico and presented an alternative image of the community.
The Cold War Comes to Chinatown
Authors: González Fredy
Published: January 2018

As the Cold War dragged on and the Republic of China failed to effect its reconquest of mainland China, not all Chinese Mexicans continued to support the Republic of China. Some defected to support the People’s Republic of China, or openly traveled to mainland China or expressed their reservations about the ROC. For this, they were exposed as subversives and surveilled by the ROC, Mexican, and US governments. This chapter illustrates how transnational causes could have local repercussions, as some Chinese Mexicans began to chafe under their relationship with the ROC.

Death in the City
Authors: Sloan Kathryn A.
Published: January 2018

Theories of the production and everyday use of space to examine the public suicides of young men and women in symbolic public spaces of Mexico City in the first decades of the twentieth century take center stage in Chapter 5. Individuals that whoopted for a public suicide made self-conscious decisions on how they would die, in particular, choosing the sites of their deaths for their personal and cultural meanings. Attempting to construct their selves in their suicides, young women, in particular, employed tropes of honorable death and conformed to a cultural logic of female suicide. They took great pains to choose the site and method of their sacrifice in order to communicate significant meanings through their deaths. Men as wellalso chose specific spaces in the city to author their deaths. Indeed, public suicides were not neutral geographies where life simply transpired. The production and the use of spaces in cities were and are constantly in tension. The people that whodesigned them and moved through them participated in the social construction of those spaces.
Mainstreaming Black Power
Authors: Davies Tom Adam
Published: January 2018

This book upends the narrative that the Black Power movement allowed for a catharsis of black rage but achieved little institutional transformation or black uplift. Retelling the story of the 1960s and 1970s across the United States—and focusing on New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles—this book reveals how the War on Poverty cultivated black self-determination politics and demonstrates that federal, state, and local policies during this period bolstered economic, social, and educational institutions for black control. The book shows more convincingly than ever before that white power structures did engage with Black Power in specific ways that tended ultimately to reinforce rather than challenge existing racial, class, and gender hierarchies. The book emphasizes that Black Power's reach and legacies can be understood only in the context of an ideologically diverse black community.
Resetting the “Good Food” Table
Authors: Sbicca Joshua
Published: January 2018

The formation of food-labor alliances in Los Angeles pushes food justice politics beyond a focus on food access, culturally appropriate food, and self-determination by strategically emphasizing economic inequalities and working conditions and engaging in confrontational politics. These alliances reveal that it is important to have highly visible labor campaigns, the integration of activists with direct knowledge or experience of food work and food insecurity into the food movement, and labor activists who will combat food deserts and therefore work alongside food justice activists through the lens of poverty. In short, it is essential to build a food movement that can fight to take care of the hands that grow, process, deliver, and sell the food meant to nourish the good food revolution.
Careful Guys
Authors: Piccato Pablo
Published: January 2018

This chapter looks at the emergence of the figure of the pistolero, the gunman. These bodyguards for politicians combined their role as experts in the use of violence with illegal activities in which they could profit from their official protection. The chapter examines three cases of political assassination.
Our Times, Our Perspectives
Authors: Piccato Pablo
Published: January 2018

This chapter examines the emergence of a popular genre of crime fiction in Mexico in the 1940s. It looks at magazines and short stories. It argues that despite the lack of official support, this genre became popular and was able to express, through fiction, the problems in the pursuit of truth and justice in front of impunity. Fictional detectives were seldom representatives of the police or the judiciary.
In Search of Soul
Authors: Nava Alejandro
Published: January 2018

This book explores the meaning of “soul” in sacred and profane incarnations, from its biblical origins to its central place in the rich traditions of black and Latin history. Surveying the work of writers, artists, poets, musicians, philosophers, and theologians, the book shows how their understandings of the “soul” revolve around narratives of justice, liberation, and spiritual redemption. The book contends that biblical traditions and hip-hop emerged out of experiences of dispossession and oppression. Whether born in the ghettos of America or of the Roman Empire, hip-hop and Christianity have endured by giving voice to the persecuted. This book offers a view of soul in living color, as a breathing, suffering, dreaming thing.
Christian Soul and the Revolt of the Slave
Authors: Nava Alejandro
Published: January 2018

This chapter considers how Friedrich Nietzsche had seized on a fundamental fact about Christianity: that it bears the ignoble mark of a slave. In Nietzsche's view, Christianity represents a slave revolt against all the noble principles of antiquity and the introduction of base and grotesque values into Western civilization. As an affront to classic aristocratic taste, Christianity took vengeance on Rome by adopting the ghetto tongue and style of its Jewish brothers and sisters and used it to curse and subvert the patrician values of Greco-Roman culture. For Nietzsche, these “oriental slaves” upended the cherished achievements of Greco-Roman culture and instigated a carnival-like subversion of Roman hierarchies, a world turned upside down.
Afro-Latin Soul and Hip-Hop
Authors: Nava Alejandro
Published: January 2018

This chapter explores the history of African and Spanish musical fusions. In terms of race relations in the New World specifically, music has frequently been the occasion for an exchange of ideas and sounds that has brought together various cultures, transforming conflicting and clashing relations into harmonious streams of sound. Hence, lingering affinities from medieval Al-Andalus have been the inspiration for African and Spanish conjunctions and collaborations in modern times and have resulted in novel, hybrid inventions, everything from salsa and samba to funk and hip-hop. This chapter focuses on hip-hop within this context, though it also takes a look at the cultural soil of Latin America to appreciate the roots and branches of African and Spanish blends in the New World.
Shari'ah on Trial
Authors: Eltantawi Sarah
Published: January 2018

In November, 1999, hundreds of thousands of Northern Nigerians took to the streets of Zamfara state to demand the (re)implementation of full shar’iah penal law. Insisting on the laws of God where the laws of man had failed, Nigerians believed shari’ah would stem massive corruption and deepening poverty in their society. Two years after shar’iah, a peasant woman from Katsina state, Amina Lawal, was sentenced to death by stoning for committing the crime of zinā, or illegal sexual activity, raising world wide concern about her fate and that of Nigeria. This book critically examines this western reaction, and asks how a revolution for total restructuring of society to bring justice and poverty alleviation most immediately affected a peasant woman accused of sexual crimes. Through the lens of Lawal’s case and its dramatic outcome, Eltantawi examines original Nigerian archival material, her ethnographic fieldwork in Northern Nigeria, premodern and modern Nigerian history, histories of Hausaland’s colonial encounter, the early legalization of stoning in Islam, Islamic legal theory, and contemporary debates around gender and geopolitics to piece together the histories that gave rise to latest Islamic revolution in Northern Nigeria -- the failure of which empowered terrorist group Boko Haram.
A Revolution for Shari‘ah
Authors: Eltantawi Sarah
Published: January 2018

This chapter is an ethnography of Eltantawi’s research in Northern Nigeria conducted in 2010. It describes and analyzes her conversations with key players in Amina Lawal’s trial. These conversations illuminate how central the Islamic identity is in Northern Nigeria, and critically examines what “Islam” actually signifies for Northern Nigerians, highlighting how difficult it is to campaign for any kind of change outside the framework of “Islam.” Other interviews highlight the sense of rampant material and moral corruption in Nigeria. The chapter also introduces the distinction between “idealized” and “political” shari’ah, and shows how the heavy handedness and corruption of the current sharia experiment is labeled “political” in order to preserve the sense of Islam as an ideal.
The New Gold Mountain
Authors: Lung-Amam Willow S.
Published: January 2018

This chapter explores why the valley became such an important hub of racial and ethnic diversity, especially among recently arrived Asian immigrants in the latter half of the 20th century and the early 21st century. Beginning with a brief look back at the pathways forged by early Asian American pioneers, the chapter focuses on the sweeping changes that occurred in the region economically, spatially, and socially after World War II. The chapter shows how Asian Americans navigated their new terrain and put down roots in working- and middle-class neighborhoods, in particular underscoring how the Fremont suburb's rapid growth and development were prefaced on the valley's booming innovation economy and Asian Americans' own suburban dreams.
Messenger of a New Colombia
Authors: Karl Robert A.
Published: January 2018

This chapter details the larger tale of Colombian politics. Few figures were as closely linked to the arc of the twentieth century as Alberto Lleras. Part of a generation of lettered Colombians who did not initially conceive of their nation as a place of violence, Lleras labored to maintain convivencia in Colombian public life as well as global diplomacy. The shepherd of Colombia's democratization and the primary exponent of the reformist possibilities that accompanied the transition, Alberto Lleras emerged in the late 1950s as the paramount messenger of a new Colombia. But just as Lleras' path indicated the will of many Colombians to move beyond force in all their affairs, so too did it expose the limits of urban Colombians' engagement with the countryside—a divergence at the heart of struggles over violence, peace, and nation.
Greek Gods Abroad
Authors: Parker Robert
Published: January 2018

This is a book about interaction between Greek religion and the religious cultures of the many regions of the eastern Mediterranean and beyond with which it came into contact during the long period when Greek was the lingua franca of the ancient world. It studies the practice of identifying Greek gods with those of other countries, and its limits. It shows how Greek gods were named and referred to within Greece, and how these ways of naming were adopted, extended and adapted in new cultural contexts. It argues, following Hermann Usener’s Götternamen, that such naming practices provide essential insight into religious psychology and values.
Gods of Many Nations and Their Naming in Greek
Authors: Parker Robert
Published: January 2018

Among the regions to which the Greek language spread, only in Egypt and parts of Syria is there extensive evidence for pre-Greek divine naming as practised when Greek arrived; but a broad background can be recovered by looking at forms of naming found in earlier texts. After presenting this background, I go on to look at various classes of divine name found in Greek language texts from Anatolia, Syria and Egypt: retained indigenous names, titles substituting for names, interpretatio graecain various forms, gods with speaking Greek names not in fact found in Greece itself. The response to cultural contact varied from region to region, but in parts of Anatolia, in particular, Greek became a flexible vehicle through which distinctive forms of religious feeling could be creatively conveyed.
Ad Maiorem Deorum Gloriam
Authors: Parker Robert
Published: January 2018

In this chapter I consider the emergence (or greatly increased prominence) of a new type of epithet, one which does not specify but rather glorifies: epithets such as hagios, ‘sacred’, kyrios, ‘lord’, epiphanēs, ‘manifest’, sōtēr,‘saviour’, megas, ‘great’, epēkoos, ‘who listens’. I trace their individual histories, and show that hagios, kyrios, megasand epēkoosenter the Greek religious vocabulary from other religious traditions, and remain especially popular in their places of origin. But I also assess broader factors that may have fostered this new vocabulary of exaltation.
Introduction
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This introductory chapter discusses how nineteenth-century art, defined by the birth of the nation-state and nationalism, is teeming with transnational forms of circulation. Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso took advantage of new international networks being created by so-called “cultural mediators” (middlemen—art dealers, critics and literary figures—who regularly traveled abroad), including exhibition opportunities and art markets throughout Europe. In doing so, he presaged the nomadic, itinerant status of twentieth- and twenty-first-century sculpture. The chapter offers a methodological challenge to the grand narrative of the nineteenth century by reframing a single artist within a cultural context characterized by transnational exchange and new forms of mobility. It provides an original, transnational way to comprehend Rosso and is intended as a model for future studies of pan-European modern art.
Laying the Foundations for an Antiheroic Approach to Modern Sculpture
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter contextualizes Medardo Rosso's early life and the beginning of his career within the uncertain nationalism and ambivalent internationalism that characterized Italy in the two decades after its unification. Rosso grew up in the aftermath of the Risorgimento. Like many Italians of his generation, he was disenchanted by the unfulfilled promises of national unity, a dissatisfaction he dared to express in his early art. His first works of the 1880s define his enterprise within the hopes and disillusionments of these post-Risorgimento decades. His unorthodox approach suggests that, early on, he developed unique artistic solutions compared to those of his compatriots. This approach was especially notable in his rejection of the tradition of heroic mythmaking in sculpture.
Monuments without Idols
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter traces four significant rejections that marked Medardo Rosso's early career in Italy. He made two revolutionary monument proposals for Giuseppe Garibaldi, but the Italian establishment immediately rejected them. In these public projects, Rosso dared to criticize what he saw as falsely reassuring nation-building myths. Rosso also was expelled from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, and his first radical funerary monument, La Riconoscenza, was removed from the local cemetery for its frank and emotionally explicit portrayal of mourning and death. The chapter argues that Rosso adopted an artistic language of protest to experiment with new forms of expression that rejected the heroic idioms of traditional sculpture. His original antiheroic monument proposals expressed far-reaching ideas that aimed to revolutionize the concept of the monument in modern times.
Internationalism and Experimentation
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter analyzes Medardo Rosso's career in Italy in light of the shifting political climate in the mid- to late 1880s. His increasingly internationalist viewpoint had political and cultural implications that illuminate his career choices as well as the disoriented and fragmented historical moment in Italy and its complex relationship to France. His work was criticized at home during a decade of growing tensions caused by Italy's fragile democratic system and the nationalism of the ruling class and its supporters. This was a delicate time politically, soon after Italy had joined the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria–Hungary, and imposed trade wars against France. Rosso's early alertness to European prospects resonates with the political currents of progressive democratic internationalism that developed in Italy during the 1880s.
The Artist’s Experience of Migration
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter looks at the shift in Medardo Rosso's position from an outsider in his own country to a foreigner in France. Rosso's move to Paris belongs to the wider phenomenon of increased migration by artists to the principal metropolis of modern art toward the end of the century. It also confirms his awareness of a new kind of transnational mobility. Tracing Rosso's trajectory as a form of self-exile characteristic of cultural anarchists, the chapter examines his hopeful but obstacle-ridden expatriation and his struggle to make avant-garde sculpture in the epoch and city dominated by Rodin. Paris at the end of the nineteenth-century offered Rosso new opportunities, such as a vibrant art scene, a burgeoning market for serial sculpture, and a network of sophisticated artists, collectors, and critics.

Ensuring optimal health for children requires a population-based approach and collaboration between pediatrics and public health. The prevention of major threats to children’s health (such as behavioral health issues) and the control and management of chronic diseases, obesity, injury, communicable diseases, and other problems cannot be managed solely in the pediatric office. The integration of clinical practice with public health actions is necessary for multiple levels of disease prevention that involve the child, family, and community. Although pediatricians and public health professionals interact frequently to the benefit of children and their families, increased integration of the 2 disciplines is critical to improving child health at the individual and population levels. Effective collaboration is necessary to ensure that population health activities include children and that the child health priorities of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), such as poverty and child health, early brain and child development, obesity, and mental health, can engage federal, state, and local public health initiatives. In this policy statement, we build on the 2013 AAP Policy Statement on community pediatrics by identifying specific opportunities for collaboration between pediatricians and public health professionals that are likely to improve the health of children in communities. In the statement, we provide recommendations for pediatricians, public health professionals, and the AAP and its chapters.
Effects of the Preoperative Administration of Dexketoprofen Trometamol on Pain and Swelling After Implant Surgery: A Randomized, Double-Blind Controlled Trial
Authors: Sánchez-Pérez Arturo , Muñoz-Peñalver Jesús , Moya-Villaescusa María José , Sánchez-Matás Carmen
Published: January 2018

The fear of postoperative pain is often mentioned by patients as one of the factors that is most frequently associated with dental implants. To reduce this factor, a single oral dose of 25 mg dexketoprofen trometamol (DKT) or placebo was administered 15 minutes before implant surgery. One hundred patients who required single-implant treatments were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 blinded groups. The patients in the test group were given 25 mg DKT (DKT group), and those in the control group were given 500 mg vitamin C as a placebo (PLACEBO group). A subjective visual analogue scale of 100 mm in length was used to evaluate pain. Inflammation and complications were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. An analysis of variance, t-tests, and a Mann-Whitney U test were performed. Among the 100 patients, 83 completed the study (there were 8 dropouts in the PLACEBO group and 9 in the DKT group). The patients who received DKT reported a lower pain intensity during the immediate postoperative period. The inflammatory response was weaker in the DKT group than the control group at 48 hours, but bleeding was greater. There were no other complications in either of the groups. In conclusion, the preemptive use of 25 mg soluble DKT administered orally 15 minutes before implant surgery can reduce the severity of immediate postoperative pain.

Le indicazioni fondamentali – l’obbligo di festeggiare la domenica, il precetto della confessione e della comunione pasquale, le esigenze circa il digiuno – sono presenti in tutto il mondo cattolico, anche se le specifiche condizioni del tempo e del luogo hanno influenzato la loro forma concreta.Nella seconda parte è dibattuto il problema dei precetti ecclesiali nel Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica. Questo documento fondamentale fu pubblicato per la prima volta in lingua francese nel 1992. Dopo molte correzioni, nel 1997 è stata presentata l’editio tipica in lingua latina. Infine nel 2005 papa Benedetto XVI ha ordinato la pubblicazione del Compedio del Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica. Nell’articolo vengono analizzate le formule dei precetti ecclesiali in tutte e tre le versioni del catechismo. Va notato che, malgrado 500 anni di storia della propagazione dei precetti della Chiesa, solo adesso sono stati formulati come vincolanti in tutta la Chiesa universale.La terza parte verte sulla versione polacca dei precetti della Chiesa, promulgata dalla Conferenza Episcopale Polacca nel 2003 e riformata nel 2014. I vescovi polacchi hanno approfittato della possibilità di accomodare il testo dei precetti agli specifici bisogni e aspettative delle Chiese particolari. Con il consenso della Sede Apostolica, i pastori della Chiesa cattolica in Polonia hanno esonerato i fedeli dall’obbligo di festeggiare alcuni giorni festivi, ma nello stesso tempo hanno confermato la proibizione di partecipare ai divertimenti durante la Quaresima, ampliandola anche a tutti i venerdì dell’anno. Nel 2014 fu introdotto l’ultimo cambiamento nel testo dei precetti, con la decisione di lasciare la proibizione dei divertimenti solamente nel tempo di Quaresima.In conformità con il suo titolo, l’articolo espone il profondo legame tra il diritto e la pastorale, ma anche la relazione tra il diritto universale e il suo adattamento nel diritto particolare.
Impedimentum clandestinitatis. Kształtowanie się kanonicznej formy zawarcia małżeństwa
Authors: Sosnowski Andrzej
Published: January 2018

Impedimentum clandestinitatis, czy też obowiązek wprowadzenia formy kanonicznej małżeństwa jako obowiązującej do ważności związku małżeńskiego jest jednym z kamieni milowych w rozwoju małżeńskiej dyscypliny kościelnej. Odpowiadając na potrzeby Kościoła i społeczeństwa świeckiego, Sobór Trydencki po pierwsze uznał, że Kościół jest kompetentny we wprowadzaniu przeszkód małżeńskich, może wymagać określonej formy publicznej zawierania małżeństw, a jednocześnie broni zasady consensus facit nuptias i tego, że to małżonkowie są szafarzami sakramentu małżeństwa. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia drogi do uformowania się obowiązku zachowania formy kanonicznej przy zawieraniu małżeństw od pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa aż do soboru trydenckiego.
The Integration of Gender Medicine in Medical Education at Austrian Universities – the Status Quo

Published: January 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The work at hand examines the current status of the implementation of Gender Medicine in medical education at all Austrian universities. To date no systematic studies have been conducted on this subject. This study covers public as well as private universities.The methodology was to first conduct a document analysis, followed by a questionnaire survey.Analysis of the documents showed that Gender Medicine is often combined with affirmative action for women, equal treatment and/or gender studies. These subjects are frequently combined in order to meet legal requirements, which often results in unclear and vague statements of goals. The results show that, at least formally, Gender Medicine has been integrated at all the Austrian universities by being anchored in their curricula. Actual implementation in everyday university studies has been achieved very differently at the various universities and is more or less sustainable.The development of uniform standards and criteria would be a next important step for the Austrian universities.
K. OXYTOCA BACTERIOPHAGES ISOLATION METHODS IMPROVEMENT
Authors: Sadrtdinova G. R.
Published: January 2018

The article presents the results of a study related to increasing the efficiency of phage isolation of bacteria of the species K. oxytoca, by developing the optimal composition of the medium used in the work. In scientific research, in almost all methods associated with the isolation of bacteriophages, meat-peptone broth and meat-peptone agar are used as the nutrient basis. The peculiarities of growth and cultivation of microorganisms create certain difficulties for the isolation of phages active against bacteria of the species K. oxytoca. The selection of components and the creation of an environment that would ensure the optimal growth of both the bacterial culture and the reproduction of the virus makes it possible to facilitate the isolation of bacteriophages. The number of bacterial strains used in the work was 7. All strains of cultures were obtained from the Museum of the Department of Microbiology, Virology, Epizootology and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise of the Federal State Budget Educational Institution of Higher Education “Ulyanovsk State Agrarian University named after P.A. Stolypin”. The studies included 2 main stages. The first stage consisted in isolation of bacteriophages by the method of isolation from the external environment by the method of Adelson L.I., Lyashenko E.A. The material for the studies were samples: soil, sewage sample, fecal samples (2). Only 4 samples. According to the chosen method, the sowing of the putative phagolysate was carried out on meat-peptone agar (1.5%) and the agar for isolating bacteriophages (Aph) (1.5%). A positive result was the presence on the environment of negative colonies, clearly visible on the matt background of deep growth of bacteria. A negative result is a continuous growth (“lawn”) of bacterial culture. As a control, the culture of the microorganism studied was used for the media. In the course of the conducted studies for the first stage, 2 bacteriophages were isolated, active against the desired species of microorganism. The second stage consisted in a comparative analysis of the indices of cultivation of the isolated phages on standard meat-peptone agar and the proposed medium for isolation of bacteriophages. The main biological properties of the phages studied were also determined: morphology of negative colonies, lytic activity, specificity. The negative colonies formed on the compared media were classified as one type. The lytic activity of the studied phages on meat-peptone agar and Aph medium was the same. According to Grazia 2 × 107 BOE/ml for bacteriophage KO-3 UGSHA, (3–4) × 108BOE/ml for bacteriophage KO-8724 UGSHA. The isolated bacteriophages showed no lytic activity against strains of heterogeneous crops (Escherichia spp., Citrobacter spp., Serratia spp., Hafnia spp., Yersinia spp.).

Hard Tissue Architecture of Tooth – No Strain with Stain
Authors: Tan Nicholette , Thentamil A. , Jacob Mathew
Published: January 2018

One of the methods for visualizing and studying the hard tissues of the tooth is by preparation of ground sections of the desired area of the tooth. This method is relatively simple and enables us to appreciate the site and arrangement of various anatomical units of enamel, dentin and cementum. However, these sections are unstained and the features observed are based on the degree of light permeating through the sections. In this experiment, natural tooth were preserved in haematoxylin and eosin to study histological components of tooth. Twenty recently extracted natural teeth were utilized for this experiment and divided into two groups. In group 1, apical portion of the tooth were sealed and perforations were made on the different aspects of the tooth. In group 2, the apical portions of the root were flattened and the apex kept open. Both groups were preserved in haematoxylin and eosin to permit imbibition of the stain. Following which, ground sections were prepared and viewed under a microscope.

Study of yellow rust infection on various winter wheat genotypes
Authors: Kiss László , Veres Szilvia
Published: January 2018

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is our most important cereal. During its production several pathogens can infect the population. In our two-year study susceptibility of 9 winter wheat genotypes against the pathogen Pucciniastriiformis var. striiformis was investigated by three different nitrogen supply levels on a humous sandy soil type. Percentage frequency of yellow rust infection was lower in case of the genotypes Hystar, Mv. Csárdás, Mv. Magdaléna than in case of HK1307, 1304KV, Antonius or Hywin. Based on our results it can be stated that in the crop year 2016 the highest susceptibility towards the pathogen yellow rust was observed for the winter wheat variety GK Csillag. No consequent effect of nitrogen active substance treatments on yellow rust infection could be stated, different applied nitrogen dosages did not affect the infection rate of different genotypes to a statistically verifiable extent.
