Authors: Akter S , Khan HR , Hossain MS , Saha MK , Farzana F 
Published: January 2019

The experiment was carried out with rice (BRRI dhan48) grown in saline soil at the premises of the Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka to evaluate the impacts of agricultural amendments, such as rice hull (RH), rice straw (RS) and sawdust (SD) each applied at the rates of 0, 4 and 8 t ha-1 in moist (80% moisture) and saturated soil conditions. Most of the growth and yield components of rice were found to increase significantly (p ≤0.05) with the increased rates regardless of kinds of organic treatments under both the moisture levels. The tallest plant heights (99 cm in moist, 105 cm in saturated condition) were recorded at maturity stage of rice with the RH8RS8SD8treatment, which received the highest rates of these three organic amendments. The shortest plant heights (79 cm in moist; 86 cm in saturated conditions) were recorded in control pot (RH0RS0SD0), where no amendment was made. The maximum numbers of tillers were observed in RH8RS8SD8followed by RH8RS8SD4, RH8RS4SD8, RH4RS8SD8 and RH4RS4SD8 treatments at saturated condition. The straw dry matter and grain yields of rice were also found to vary significantly (p ≤0.05) by the individual application of rice hull, rice straw, sawdust and moisture conditions, but their combined effects were found to be highly significant at their higher doses of combination. The highest grain yield (4.4 t ha-1) was recorded in RH8RS8SD8 treatment followed by RH8RS8SD4 (4.2t ha-1) and RH8RS4SD8 (4.1t ha-1) at saturated condition. Harvest index and 1000 grain weight of the rice were attained positive under both the moisture conditions, but at saturated condition of the soil, the amendments (RH, RS and SD) produced better response for these components compared to those of the moist soil condition.

Effect of textile effluent on the yield of jute leaves (Corchorus capsularis) in winter season
Authors: Begum M , Gani MN , Alam MD 
Published: January 2019

A pot experiment was conducted to observe the effect of textile effluent on the yield of newly developed deshi pat shak-1 (Corchorus capsularis), in winter season by the Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI). There were six treatments of different effluent level including different proportions of fresh water and Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF). It was observed that all the treatments showed significant positive effect on the yield parameters of jute vegetables over the control on agricultural soils. However, in contaminated soils effluent irrigation showed negative effect over the control. The highest yield of vegetative weight in all soils was observed in the treatment T2 where fresh water + 100% RDF were applied. They were 8.83 t/ha, 8.93 t/ha, 9.07 t/ha and 8.13 t/ha in both agricultural and contaminated soils of Narayanganj and Gazipur respectively with high input cost. But the treated pots with 50% effluent + 50% fresh water + 50% RDF gave second highest vegetative weight with low cost in both the agricultural soils, which were 8.25 t/ha and 7.87 t/ha in Narayanganj and Gazipur agricultural soil, respectively.

Published: January 2019

This study was conducted to determine the seasonal variation of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb concentrations in water from four coastal sites of Bangladesh. The mean concentrations of trace metals in the water samples in the range of each elements were Cr (2.6−15.3), Ni (5.1−77.5), Cu (10.2−510), Zn (5.0-1390), As (2.1−13.3), Cd (0.006−0.09), Pb (0.4−109 μg/l) in summer and Cr (3.6−43.7), Ni (10.8−42.4), Cu (7.3−45.2), Zn (18.0-73.9), As (4.0−19.7), Cd (0.025−0.087), Pb (2.8−34.8 μg/l) in winter. The mean concentrations of the metals in water followed a decreasing order of Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Cr > As > Cd in the summer and Zn > Ni > Cr > Cu >Pb > As > Cd in the winter. The water of Cox’s Bazar hatchery site showed the highest levels of Zn (1390), Cu (510) and Pb (109 μg/l) in summer while As (19.7 μg/l) showed highest in Cox’s Bazar Bakkhali estuary in the winter samples. The elevated level of Ni (77.5 μg/L) in the summer and Cr (43.7 μg/l) in the winter water samples were also found in the Sundarbans site. The mean concentrations of all estimated trace metals were higher in the winter than in the summer season. It was both in the Chittagong port and Meghna estuary. For the Meghna estuary, the highest concentration of Zn (36.0 μg/l) was observed in the water sample of winter season. Some trace metals exceeded the international quality guidelines. Suspended solid, temperature, rainfall, anthropogenic inputs and geomorphologic setup are influenced by seasonal vagaries which alter the variation of metal distribution.

Published: January 2019

The foraging activities of insect visitors on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were studied. The insect visitors in decreasing order of abundance were: Formica sp.>Apis mellifera>Apis cerana>syrphids≥Apis dorstata. The activity of insects was peaked at 08.00-09.00 am. The foraging behaviour of A. mellifera was also studied. The bees spent significantly more time per flower during morning hours (sec/flower) and foraged significantly fewer flowers (7.9 flowers/min) compared to evening hours. There were significantly more nectar foragers (6.03/m²/10 min) than pollen foragers (5.16/m²/10 min). Most pollen foragers were observed during morning hours (6.59/m²/10 min) whereas nectar foragers were most active during noon hours (6.63/m²/10 min). Highest fruit set was observed in hand pollination (70.68%). Percentage of misshapen fruits was maximum in without honey bee pollination (24.35%). Without honey bee pollination resulted in significantly lowest percentage of healthy fruits (75.25%). Hand pollination ranked highest among the three forms of pollination in respective of fruits (985.13 g), number of seeds per fruit (425.22), fruit diameter (27.1 cm), fruit length (26.7 cm) and weight of 1000-seeds (28.64 g).

Published: January 2019

Abstract
New light curves in B, V, R, and I bands for the B-type contact binary V593 Cen were obtained, and another V-band light curve was collected from All Sky Automated Survey data. We analyzed these two sets of light curves using the Wilson–Devinney code. It was found that V593 Cen is a deep-contact binary with a fill-out factor of more than 45%. The mass ratio, derived to be nearly one from light curves, indicates that this system contains two twin components. Together with the higher temperature of the less-massive component, it is inferred that the system has just passed the mass-reversal stage during the mass-transfer evolution. Therefore, at present it has the shortest period and deepest-contact configuration. By analyzing all available eclipse times, it is found that the O − C curve of V593 Cen shows a cyclic variation with a period of 50.9 yr. This can be explained as the light-travel time effect via the presence of a third body. The mass of the third body is derived to be larger than 4.3 (±0.3) M
⊙, and it should contribute to the total light of the system. However, no third light is detected during the photometric analyses. This indicates that it may be a black hole candidate orbiting the central mass-transferring binary in a triple system. During the evolution of this hierarchical triple-star system, the “eccentric Kozai–Lidov” mechanism may play a major role in the formation of the inner contact binary. This system seems a perfect candidate to be one of “merged” systems mentioned by Naoz & Fabrycky.
L’enquête comme logique de sollicitation des experts en mode exploration : analyse de deux expéditions en milieux extrêmes
Authors: Bootz Jean-Philippe , Lièvre Pascal , Schenk Eric 
Published: January 2019

Dans ce travail, nous interrogeons la possibilité de structurer le processus de mobilisation d’experts dans les projets d’exploration marqués par un fort degré d’incertitude. Après avoir posé le cadre théorique relatif à la mobilisation d’experts, nous analysons la logique de la sollicitation des experts dans un contexte d’exploration à partir de deux études de cas que nous confrontons à la méthodologie de l’enquête de Dewey (1938/1993). Ceci nous conduit à apporter un regard nouveau sur la compétence du chef de projet : les compétences relationnelles et la capacité à traiter les informations et signaux faibles qui émergent durant le projet sont essentielles pour le déroulement de l’enquête.

Les organisations de l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) comme intermédiaires de l’innovation sociale : leurs apports… et limites
Authors: Muller Paul , Tanguy Corinne 
Published: January 2019

Les organisations de l’ESS sont considérées comme des acteurs essentiels de l’innovation sociale au sein des territoires, non seulement en étant à leur origine, mais aussi par leur rôle d’intermédiation coordonnant différentes catégories de parties prenantes. En mobilisant la littérature sur l’intermédiation d’innovation, cet article analyse les apports et limites des structures ESS dans leur fonction d’intermédiation. Nous appliquons cette grille d’analyse à l’étude du rôle d’une cave coopérative dans la diffusion d’une innovation sociale portant sur la transmission-reprise des exploitations vitivinicoles dans le vignoble bourguignon du Mâconnais. Nous montrons que la coopérative remplit son rôle d’intermédiation grâce à sa position privilégiée dans le réseau relationnel local tout en encourageant les proximités entre les parties prenantes. Néanmoins, sa capacité d’action est limitée du fait de choix stratégiques, mais aussi d’évolutions dans l’environnement local. Ces limites insistent sur la nécessité d’une intermédiation concertée avec d’autres acteurs, publics et parapublics. Codes JEL : O31, O39, Q15, R30
Mobiliser l’intelligence collective des équipes au travail : un levier d’innovation agile pour transformer durablement les organisations
Authors: Gréselle-Zaïbet Olfa 
Published: January 2019

Cet article propose un cadre de compréhension de l’intelligence collective, pratique managériale qui se développe de plus en plus comme nouveau levier d’innovation agile pour transformer durablement les organisations. Après avoir défini l’intelligence collective, seront présentées ses caractéristiques à travers l’étude de deux équipes temporaires puis son articulation avec l’innovation agile dans une perspective de changement organisationnel durable. Les résultats montrent que l’intelligence collective est plurielle et se manifeste différemment selon les projets menés et les équipes observées. Ils montrent également que c’est un phénomène émergent qui nécessite la mise en place de conditions spécifiques qui lui sont favorables. Enfin son émergence est vue comme un processus de conception et pas seulement de régulation de l’action collective. CODES JEL : J2, O32
Vers une approche constructionnelle des structures au conditionnel
Authors: Caudal Patrick 
Published: January 2019

Le présent article s’efforcera d’esquisser un programme de recherche novateur sur le conditionnel et d’avancer quelques arguments empiriques assez détaillés pour étayer l’hypothèse proposée. On peut la qualifier de « constructionnelle » (au sens très large du terme, et pas simplement de Goldberg 1995). L’idée principale qu’il défend est que la diversité des « emplois » du conditionnel ne saurait s’analyser ni seulement à l’aide d’un invariant sémantique (monosémie), ni uniquement par des interprétations en relation de polysémie productive vs d’homonymie, et qu’elle implique parfois des appariements formes/sens conventionnalisés au niveau de constructions syntaxiquement complexes.
Nursing and Midwifery Students' Sense of Connectedness Within Their Learning Communities
Authors: Ebert Lyn , Levett-Jones Tracy , Jones Donovan 
Published: January 2019

Background:
Recognition of the importance of a supportive academic and clinical learning environment for nursing and midwifery students enrolled in health care programs is not new. However, the factors that influence social connections within these environments and the consequences for students' learning are not well understood.

Method:
This study used a multisite mixed-methods design to examine students' learning experiences.

Results:
Participants stated that to develop a sense of professional connectedness, opportunities are needed to develop meaningful relationships with academic staff and peers through increased face-to-face on-campus learning experiences, as well as through off-campus contexts.

Conclusion:

To enhance nursing and midwifery students' sense of connectedness, the balance between online and face-to-face learning experiences needs to be reexamined, and a renewed focus on the development of quality clinical learning experiences that foster a sense of belonging also is needed.

Improving Telehealth Knowledge in Nurse Practitioner Training for Rural and Underserved Populations
Authors: List Betsy A. , Saxon Robin , Lehman Devon , Frank Catherine , Toole Kimberly P. 
Published: January 2019

Background:
Telehealth is an emerging technology for the delivery of health care services. Providers need to be trained to maximize the potential benefits for rural and underserved populations.

Method:
A quality improvement approach to curricular redesign was used to integrate telehealth in a family nurse practitioner program. The intervention consisted of telehealth learning outcomes and a lecture-style presentation in a role transition course. A Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle informed faculty decision making in a small test of change. Self-reported confidence in telehealth knowledge was measured with a knowledge survey to determine whether the change was an improvement.

Results:
Student confidence in telehealth knowledge increased following the intervention. The change provided an opportunity for faculty to consider additional approaches to integrating telehealth learning experiences in practicum courses.

Conclusion:

This project provided an improvement framework on which faculty can build and test effective pedagogical approaches to training graduate nursing students on the use of telehealth technology.

Primary Megalocornea: Clinical Features for Differentiation From Infantile Glaucoma
Authors: Ho Ching Lin , Walton David S 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACTPurpose: To describe the ocular findings in mégalocornea to assist in its differentiation from infantile glaucoma in the evaluation of children with abnormally enlarged corneas.Methods: The clinical findings of 4 boys found to have megalocornea following referral for evaluation of large corneas and suspected glaucoma were reviewed.Results: Three of the 4 patients had photophobia. Clear and enlarged corneas were observed associated with deep anterior chambers, posterior bowing of the irides, and normal intraocular pressures (IOPs) in all eyes. Transillumination of the irides was found in 6 of 8 eyes and pigment dispersion was seen in 4 of 8 eyes. Pigment dispersion appeared to be acquired over time, and the youngest patient in this series who had pigment dispersion detected on slit-lamp examination was 15 years; the youngest patient with the condition detected on gonioscopy was 8 years. No breaks in Descemets membrane were present. Family history obtained from 3 of the 4 patients revealed evidence of sex-linked recessive inheritance. These findings are distinct from the clinical features of infantile glaucoma characterized by elevated IOP, breaks in Descemets membrane, corneal edema, a generally flat iris profile, less pronounced enlargement of the anterior segment, the absence of iris transillumination and pigment dispersion, and autosomal recessive inheritance. Three patients had corneal size asymmetry, a finding that has not been previously reported.

Authors: Acaroglu Golge , Cetinkaya Ergun , Ileri Dilek , Ilhan Bayazit , Can Cigdem 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To evaluate the findings of juvenile Graves' orbitopathy.
Subjects and Methods: Retrospective evaluation of our patients with Graves' disease who are younger than 16 years.
Results: Seventeen patients younger than 16 years were identified among 138 patients who were being treated for hyperthyroidism and goiter. Eleven (64.7%) of them had lid findings, orbital findings, or both and constituted 8.8% of the total of 125 such patients. Ophthalmic signs were common and were among the presenting signs in children with Graves' disease. Orbitopathy was mild and was more frequent in girls. Lower lid retraction and lag (ie, hesitation of the lower lids to follow upgaze) appeared to be constant and early findings.
Conclusion: Ophthalmologists and pediatricians should be aware of and look for lid signs in children presenting with related complaints and a history suggesting hyperthyroidism, goiter, or both.

Dual TCR T Cells: Identity Crisis or Multitaskers?
Authors: Schuldt Nathaniel J. , Binstadt Bryce A. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Dual TCR T cells are a common and natural product of TCR gene rearrangement and thymocyte development. As much as one third of the T cell population may have the capability to express two different TCR specificities on the cell surface. This discovery provoked a reconsideration of the classic model of thymic selection. Many potential roles for dual TCR T cells have since been hypothesized, including posing an autoimmune hazard, dominating alloreactive T cell responses, inducing allergy, and expanding the TCR repertoire to improve protective immunity. Yet, since the initial wave of publications following the discovery of dual TCR T cells, research in the area has slowed. In this study, we aim to provide a brief but comprehensive history of dual TCR T cell research, re-evaluate past observations in the context of current knowledge of the immune system, and identify key issues for future study.
