Background: Pepper huastecto yellow vein virus (PHYVV) is one of the main viruses affecting pepper (Capsicum spp.) plants in Mexico.Question: Why there are no pepper resistant cultivars to PHYVV currently? Could it be due for the lack of new pepper resistant sources and knowledge about the heritability of the resistant trait?Study species: Capsicum annuum, Pepper huasteco yellow vein virus and Bemisia tabaci.Study site: Culiacan Sinaloa, Mexico; January 2013 to August 2014.Methods: Two assays were performed in 2013 and 2014 with three resistant wild lines of Capsicum annuum in the S2 and S3 generation under greenhouse conditions to analyze the resistance to the Pepper huasteco yellow vein virus (PHYVV) and its heritability. Plants were inoculated with PHYVV through Bemisia tabaci G. and by grafting.Results: Line UAS12 showed a significantly higher proportion of resistant plants, longer incubation time, and less amount of viral DNA, followed by lines UAS13, UAS10 and the Maverick cultivar under both inoculation methods in both assays. Distribution of symptoms revealed a bimodal tendency in both assays. The novel gene "CchGLP" which confer resistance to PHYVV in pepper plants, was identified in the three lines evaluated on this study. Heritability of line UAS12 was of 0.35 and 0.26 in the insects and grafting inoculations, and of 0.58 and 0.10 in the first and second assays, respectively. Lines UAS13 and UAS10 showed close to zero heritability in the first and second assays with both inoculation methods.Conclusions: Line UAS12 is the most promising genetic resource for its high resistance and for showing heritability for the resistance trait. The intermediate resistance of lines UAS13 and UAS10 could be also useful for breeding programs. At least two genes are involved in the resistance trait to PHYVV. Part of the resistance shown in these lines may be due to the presence of the "CchGLP" gene. Line UAS12 count with variability for the resistant trait and can, therefore, be used to improve resistance and the other two lines possibly are stable as they did not show heritability.

Authors: Rodríguez-Flores Rogelio , Carmona-Jiménez Javier 
Published: March 2018

Background: Several studies of lotic ecosystems have provided important ecological information on the influence of environmental heterogeneity on macroscopic algae composition.Hypothesis: The highest species diversity will occur during the cold-dry season, correlated to low temperature and oligothrophic water, while the distribution of each species will be related to heterogeneity of habitat and its dispersal strategies.Studied species: Twenty-two species of macroscopic algae of different Phyla (Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria, Heterokontophyta and Rhodophyta).Study site: The macroscopic algae composition was described for 35 permanent mountain streams in the Basin of Mexico from 2012 to 2015.Methods: Algae species, physico-chemical water conditions and microhabitat factors were recorded in situ at each contrasting season. The relationship between diversity and the environmental factors was statistically evaluated by Canonical Correspondence Analysis and a Spearman test. Results: Macroscopic algae recorded had biological features and environmental abilities that separated them into two groups. The first included the most frequent and abundant species: Nostoc parmelioides, Placoma regulare, Prasiola mexicana and Vaucheria bursata . The second included species restricted to certain habitats: Draparnaldia mutabilis, Tetraspora gelatinosa , Batrachospermum gelatinosum and Paralemanea mexicana . Each Phyla responds differentially to the spatial heterogeneity of the streams, but the species does not change between contrasting seasons.Conclusions: Local and spatial environmental variables explain differences in richness and distribution of species on the studied area; however, species composition does not vary widely among sampling sites. Cyanobacteria and Chlorophyta are more affected by local environmental variables, whereas Rhodophyta is more influenced by spatial variables.

Published: March 2018

Background: The three -main cacao ( Theobroma cacao ) varieties cultivated in México are: Criollo, Forastero, and Trinitario. Each variety has a different fruit setting time and has been subjected to several selection stages. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility of the three cacao varieties to Frosty pod rot caused by Moniliophthora roreri . We also analyzed the physicochemical properties of the pericarp of the three varieties and its domestication age.Question: Is there a relationship between the degree of domestication of the cacao variety and its susceptibility to Frosty pod rot?Studied species: Theobroma cacao fruits.Study site: A cacao plantation in Chiapas, Mexico.Methods: The content of moisture, lignin, phenols, peroxidase activity and hardness of the pericarp were analyzed in the middle zone of healthy fruits at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of development. Number of healthy and infected fruits were recorded every week.Results: The highest susceptibility to Frosty pod rot was found in the immature stage of fruits from the Criollo variety. The disease was mostly found in the mid-zone of the fruit. The Criollo variety was the most susceptible. This variety showed the highest moisture values and the lowest values of the other measured parameters.Conclusions: The finest cacao is obtained from the Criollo variety, the one with the highest degree of domestication, and also the most susceptible to frosty pod rot. We suggest using material from wild Criollo populations and from the Forastero and Trinitario varieties in future breeding and selection programs.

Published: March 2018

M. tuberculosis (MTB) is an intracelular bacteria that live in the host macrophage cells. Several organs can be affected by tuberculosis but most major illnesses are lung diseases. Immediately after infection, MTB will be phagocytosed by the alveolar macrophage cells and can survive in the phagosome. The macrophage plays a role in innate immunity towards an infection using autophagy by removing the microbe directly via phagocytosis. When bacteria phagocytosized, vacuole membrane formed double membranes called autophagosome, and followed by degradation by lysosome, which known as autolysosome. Induction of autophagy can be observed on the formation of microtubule-associated proteins 1B lightchain 3B (MAP1LC3B/LC3). MAP1LC3B is protein that have role at autophagic way for selection autophagy substrate and biogenesis. In this study we are used serum from patients TB with rifampicin resistant and rifampicin sensitive as control. Samples were divided using gene expert to differentiate between resistant and sensitive rifampicin.This research aims to compare MAP1LC3B levels in resistant and sensitive rifampicin to study macrophages respond in autophagic way in tuberculosis patients, and give information for define therapy plan to improve therapy for MDR-TB patients. Type of this research is a case control study design with cross sectional research with each groups sample is 19 from age 18-65 years old. Result, MAP1LC3B serum levels on the rifampicin resistant group are lower compared to rifampicin sensitive group. This occur because MTB is able to hide and evade innate immune defense mechanisms. MTB can maintain intracellular growth inside the phagosome by inhibiting phagolysosome formation in autophagy process especially inhibit MAP1LC3B formation by PDIM.
Az organikuscímke-hatás a marketing irodalomban: imázstranszfer, halo-hatás és jelzés
Authors: Kiss Marietta , Kontor Enikő , Kun András István 
Published: March 2018

Áttekintve az organikuscímke-hatás releváns marketing irodalmát megállapíthatjuk, hogy az imázstranszfer és a halo-hatás teszi ki az organikuscímke-hatást magyarázó publikációk döntő többségét, míg a jelzési irodalom mennyiségét tekintve (egyelőre) marginális. Ennek egyik oka lehet a szerzők szerint, hogy a jelzési modellek alkalmazása egyszerre igényli a marketing ismereteket és a közgazdaságtan módszereiben való jártasságot, ami mind a lehetséges szerzők számát korlátozhatja, mind a befogadó folyóiratokét. Ugyanakkor megállapíthatjuk, hogy a jelzési irodalom területén is születtek jelentős eredmények, tehát érdemes lenne ezt a kutatási vonalat a jövőben erősíteni.Feltűnő továbbá, hogy a feldolgozott tanulmányok egy részében az imázstranszfer és a halo-hatás koncepciói keverednek, több esetben szinonimaként használják azokat, holott jól elkülöníthetők egymástól, definícióik a szakirodalomban ismertek. Ez megnehezítheti a témában született eredmények értékelését és összevetését.Megállapítható továbbá, hogy maga az organikuscímke-hatás jelensége számos alkalommal, számos termékfajta és terméktulajdonság esetében megerősítést nyert; létezéséhez mára kétség nem fér. Ami továbbra sem tisztázott kellő mértékben, és amire cikkünkben mi is felhívtuk a figyelmet, az a jelenség vizsgálatának és magyarázatának elméleti kerete. A bemutatott három magyarázóelv (transzferhatás, halo-hatás, jelzés) külön-külön és egymás mellett is megállhatja a helyét, azonban a szerzők hiányolják a lehetséges magyarázatok alkalmazhatóságának vizsgálatát a szakirodalomból. Mint minden társadalmi-gazdasági jelenség esetében, nyilván az organikus címkék hatásainak esetében is igaz, hogy többféle modellel leírhatóak, elemezhetőek, de a konkrét szituációk paramétereitől függően ezek közül egyiknek vagy másiknak nagyobb a magyarázó ereje. Hasznos jövőbeli kutatási irány lehetne tehát az egyes modellek különböző feltételek közötti alkalmazhatóságának vizsgálata, esetleg kombinált modellek kidolgozása, melyek a komplex, valós szituációkat sikeresebben közelíthetnék meg.

Estimation of annual reference condition of Chlorophyll-a based on the segmental linear regression and power-law relationship in Taihu Lake
Authors: Wang Liang , Hua Zulin , Wang Yulin 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The reference conditions of Chlorophyll-a in lakes should be established in order to improve the water quality in these water bodies. A new method using segmental linear regression was developed to estimate the reference condition of Chlorophyll-a. The method can overcome the shortcomings of other methods, such as the quantile-selection-based method, which contains a certain level of subjectivity. The new method was used to estimate the annual reference condition of Chlorophyll-a in Taihu Lake. The log–log segmental regression results indicate that the distribution of specific volume (reciprocal of concentration) of Chlorophyll-a in Taihu Lake had a power-law tail. Both segmental regression and bootstrap approaches show two credible change points in the power-law relationship. This study's analysis shows that the value of 4.4 mg·m−3 was an appropriate annual reference value of Chlorophyll-a in Taihu Lake. Thus, the method would be useful in determining the numerical reference conditions of Chlorophyll-a for other shallow lakes.

AbstractThe aim of study is removal of atenolol from aqueous solutions by multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified with ozone. The design of the experiment was adopted across four levels with the L16 matrix arrangement. The factors influencing atenolol adsorption include changes in the pH value, contact time, the dose of the modified multiwall carbon nanotube, and the initial concentration of atenolol in the solution; these factors were evaluated along with the extent of their influence on removal efficiency. Data analyses were performed by the Design Expert 6 software. The results indicated that the pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and the initial concentration were 7, 20 min, 0.15 g/L and 1 mg/L, respectively. In this state, the removal efficiency was calculated to be 75.79%. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained as 5.05 mg/g under optimal conditions. The data were analyzed using adsorption models obtained from the isotherm fitting tool software. The results suggested that the data had a greater congruence with the Freundlich model (corrected Akaike information criterion = 2.58). Furthermore, the kinetics of the reactions followed pseudo second order kinetics (R2 = 0.95). Based on this study, it can be concluded that modified multiwall carbon nanotubes enjoy high potential and efficiency as adsorbents for the removal of atenolol from aqueous solutions.

Authors: Trebbastoni Alessandro , Imbriano Letizia , Podda Livia , Rendace Lidia , Sacchett Maria Luisa , Campanelli Alessandra , D’Antonio Fabrizia , de Lena Carlo 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Cognitive training (CT) is a non-pharmacological intervention based on a set of
tasks that reflect specific cognitive functions. CT is aimed at improving cognition in patients with cognitive
impairment, though no definitive conclusions have yet been drawn on its efficacy in Alzheimer's disease
(AD).

Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of a CT program designed to improve cognition in AD patients.

Method:
This is a randomized, controlled, single-blind, longitudinal trial with a no-treatment control condition
in mild-to-moderate AD. Treated patients received in-group CT twice a week for six months,
whereas controls did not. CT consisted of tasks ranging from paper-and-pencil to verbal-learning exercises.
Participants' cognitive levels were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 6 months later by
means of a complete neuropsychological test battery. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze
the effect of time on the outcome measures, as well as to compare treated and untreated patients over time,
with demographic data considered as covariates.

Results:
Of the 140 patients enrolled, 45 in the treated group and 85 controls concluded the study. The CT
significantly improved treated subjects' cognitive functions immediately after the CT. Six months later,
some test scores remained stable when compared with those obtained at baseline. The control group performed
significantly worse than the treated group at each time-point, displaying a progressive cognitive
decline over time.

Conclusion:
Our results suggest that CT may improve cognitive functions in patients with AD and may
help to temporarily slow their cognitive decline.
NILAI ADAPTIF-REFLEKTIF DALAM SINDIR-KIAS SEBAGAI WUJUD DINAMIKA KEBUDAYAAN BAHASA MINANGKABAU
Authors: Putra Andri Azis 
Published: March 2018

Language is a vital issue in a culture. Minangkabau as a devoted clan to their oral tradition has a unique linguistic dynamics. Through the "proverbs" inherited from its predecessor, satire and metaphor take its place as the center of Minangkabau culture models. However, the misunderstandings of the Minangkabau people during this time of sindir-kias meaning is no longer makes the same morality standards. Therefore, this study aimed to find a conception which can restore the "sindir-kias" in the life of the Minangkabau people in particular and the Indonesian people in general. This study is a research library by the hermeneutic method with the elements of methods, such as descriptions, verstehen, induction-deduction, inclusive language, and interpretation. The material object of this research is "sindir-kias" as the center of Minangkabau culture models. The formal object of this research is axiology with the assistance of analytic philosophy. This research found that in the culture of Minangkabau language, there are adaptive and reflective capabilities in developing satire (sindiran) and allegory (kiasan). This proves that the traditional Minangkabau is very open in its linguistic development, but also at the same time is able to reflect and internalize it to be the product of Minangkabau culture. The intersubjectivity value, in this case, takes a very important role. Therefore, the value of which is owned by language Minangkabau tradition is a value of "adaptive-reflective", thus ensuring the emergence of linguistic dynamics, which of course steer the model of Minangkabau culture.

This paper aims to examine the influence of Indian Buddhism toward Chinese Neo-Confucianism through philosophical perspective. This study uses library research; hermeneutical philosophical method which consists of three elements: descriptive, historical continuity and reflective. Based on data analysis, conclusion can be made such as: Firstly, the influence of Buddhism from India is acceptable and growth rapidly in China because people in China were unsatisfied toward Confucianism and Taoism. Secondly, Neo-Confusianism was a new development, borrowing much from Buddhim and Taoism, it appear as the reaction from the Confuciansim againts the development of Buddhism in China. Thirdly, the Confucianists realized that to compete with Buddhism, they have to give a philosophical thougths from the classics Chinese philosophy and adjust it to nowdays situation and people condition. Fourthly Neo-Confusianism’s thought emphasis on Metaphysics and Ethics in theoritically, therefore it have not fix the Economic and the prosperty in society. Fiftly, Neo-Confusianism reconstructed philosophical thought which the society believe and some from Buddhism

Published: March 2018

Background and objectives
Incidence of ESKD is three times higher in black Americans than in whites, and CKD prevalence continues to rise among black Americans. Community-based kidney disease screening may increase early identification and awareness of black Americans at risk, but it is challenging to implement. This study aimed to identify participants’ perspectives of community kidney disease screening. The Health Belief Model provides a theoretic framework for conceptualization of these perspectives and optimization of community kidney disease screening activities.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
Researchers in collaboration with the Tennessee Kidney Foundation conducted three focus groups of adults in black American churches in Nashville, Tennessee. Questions examined views on CKD information, access to care, and priorities of kidney disease health. Content analysis was used. Guided by the Health Belief Model, a priori themes were generated, and additional themes were derived from the data using an inductive approach.

Results
Thirty-two black Americans completed the study in 2014. Participants were mostly women (79%) with a mean age of 56 years old (range, 24–78). Two major categories of barriers to kidney disease screening were identified: (1) participant factors, including limited kidney disease knowledge, spiritual/religious beliefs, emotions, and culture of the individual; and (2) logistic factors, including lack of convenience and incentives and poor advertisement. Potential facilitators of CKD screening included provision of CKD education, convenience of screening activities, and use of culturally sensitive and enhanced communication strategies. Program recommendations included partnering with trusted community members, selecting convenient locations, tailored advertising, and provision of compensation.

Conclusions
Findings of this study suggest that provider-delivered culturally sensitive education and stakeholder engagement are critical to increase trust, decrease fear, and maximize participation and early identification of kidney disease among black Americans considering community screening.
