O conhecimento de manejos apropriados para a reprodução é fundamental para a gestão e direcionamento das atividades em centrais de repovoamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência dos sistemas reprodutivos por extrusão e seminatural e da proporção de sexo na contribuição parental de progênies de P. lineatus. Amostras de nadadeiras caudais de 25 reprodutores submetidos ao sistema reprodutivo por extrusão e 10 reprodutores submetidos ao sistema reprodutivo seminatural foram coletados em diferentes proporções de sexo (1ââ„¢"š:1ââ„¢â‚¬ e 2ââ„¢"š:1ââ„¢â‚¬, e 1ââ„¢"š:1ââ„¢â‚¬, respectivamente). Duzentos e oito alevinos oriundos desses acasalamentos foram avaliados. A mortalidade dos reprodutores foi registrada logo após os procedimentos reprodutivos. Para a análise de paternidade, foram amplificados 10 loci microssatélites. Três reprodutores foram a óbito no sistema extrusão (dois na proporção 1:1 e um na proporção 2:1). No sistema extrusão 1:1 observou-se que um macho (M1.4) obteve maior contribuição na formação progênie (41,8%), enquanto que na proporção 2:1, quatro machos contribuí­ram entre 14,5 a 21,7%. A menor dominí­¢ncia reprodutiva foi identificada no sistema seminatural, com valores variando de 22,86% a 25,71% para quatro machos. Na formação das famí­­lias, foi observada dominí­¢ncia reprodutiva de alguns casais em ambos os sistemas. Conclui-se que o sistema seminatural permitiu maior homogeneidade na contribuição na progênie sem perdas por mortalidade.

Published: March 2018

Social trading services, which are financial services connected with social networking services, are currently in the spotlight. Users can follow and automatically imitate expert traders’ trades using social trading services. Finding expert traders who exhibit an exceptional and consistent performance for users to follow is a key challenge in this field. We propose a ranking mechanism with three measures to address this issue: performance, risk, and consistency. We estimated traders’ performance, risk, and consistency levels by comparatively analyzing their trading histories and news data. In addition, we propose a system called Whom to Follow (W2F) to help users discover expert traders by utilizing this ranking mechanism. W2F visualizes the ranking results, and provides feedback functions to help users reach decisions regarding who to follow. We conducted experiments to test and then validate the proposed ranking mechanism in terms of the ranking accuracy, profit, and ranking stability. We also conducted a user experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of W2F.**This paper is an extended version of “Whom to Follow on Social Trading Services?

Published: March 2018

Background:
Joint incongruity in posteromedial rotatory instability (PMRI) has been theorized to determine early articular degenerative changes. Our hypothesis was that the articular contact area and contact pressure differ significantly between an intact elbow and an elbow affected by PMRI.

Methods:
Seven cadaveric elbows were tested under gravity varus stress using a custom-made machine designed to simulate muscle loads and allow passive elbow flexion (0° to 90°). The mean contact area and contact pressure data were collected and processed using the Tekscan sensor and software. After testing the intact specimen (intact elbow), a PMRI injury was simulated (PMRI elbow) and the specimen was tested again.

Results:
The PMRI elbows were characterized by initial joint subluxation and significantly elevated articular contact pressure. Both worsened, corresponding with a reduction in contact area, as the elbow was flexed from 0° until the joint subluxation and incongruity spontaneously reduced (at a mean [and standard error] of 60° ± 5° of flexion), at which point the mean contact pressure decreased from 870 ± 50 kPa (pre-reduction) to 440 ± 40 kPa (post-reduction) (p < 0.001) and the mean contact area increased from 80 ± 8 mm2 to 150 ± 58 mm2 (p < 0.001). This reduction of the subluxation was also followed by a shift of the contact area from the coronoid fracture edge toward the lower portion of the coronoid. At the flexion angle at which the PMRI elbows reduced, both the contact area and the contact pressure of the intact elbows differed significantly from those of the PMRI elbows, both before and after the elbow reduction (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:
The reduction in contact area and increased contact pressures due to joint subluxation and incongruity could explain the progressive arthritis seen in some elbows affected by PMRI.

Clinical Relevance:
This biomechanical study suggests that the early degenerative changes associated with PMRI reported in the literature could be subsequent to joint incongruity and an increase in contact pressure between the coronoid fracture surface and the trochlea.

The F4 black rice progenies and their two parents’ varieties were evaluated for their heritability and genetic variability at Padasan, Pakembinangun, Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta from May until September 2016. The purpose of this study is to determine genetic diversity, heritability estimates and genetic advance.The genetic materials used in this study consisted of 48 lines of F4 with their parents, local black rice and Situbagendit. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block designed with two replications. Seeds of each F4 progenies and their parents were sown 1 m × 2 m length of plot with 20 cm × 20 cm plant spacing. Genetic parameters estimatesd were calculated for heritability and genetic advance. Plant population of each F4 progenies and their parents were 40 plants in each replication. The result showed that there were 11 progenies had an early day to maturity potential, 21 F4 progenies had a moderate plant height (60-95 cm), 13 progenies had a potential number of tillers per hill (10.26 to 18.76), 9 F4 progenies had a high number of filled grains per panicle (&gt; 80% filled grains), and 7 F4 progenies had a potential of 1000-grain weight (g). Plant height had the highest coefficient of variability. Days to flowering, days to maturity, and pericarb color had the highest heritability estimates followed by plant height (70.6%). Plant height and pericarb color had the highest genetic advances, namely 21.7% and 49.2%, respectively. In relation to improve agronomic characters, plant height and pericarb color had a highest heritability and genetic advance also a wide genetic variability.
GOLD NETTING TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY
Authors: Meera Ahamed Kameel Mydin 
Published: March 2018

Economic and financial crises seem to occur with increased frequency. Indeed now most countries, including several advanced economies like the US, Europe and Japan, are in serious economic recession. Employment and business opportunities have been much dampened. Inflation seems to be soaring globally and nations are witnessing widening gaps in income and wealth distribution. Many of these advanced economies are also facing shrinking population sizes that translate into aging problems and labor shortages. On top of those, there are environmental issues, including global warming. All these, in turn, have caused regional and global political conflicts and turmoil. The Arab Spring and the sovereign debt problems faced by some European countries like Greece are examples of this. Sustainability of economics and environment is thus of paramount concern of today. This paper considers those problems and suggests Interest-free Gold-based Electronic Netting System (IGENS) as an effective way of injecting liquidity into the economy, practically free, that can spur business and employment while bringing about structural stability, inflation checked with both economic and environmental sustainability. Netting or muqassah is a transaction allowed in shari’ah and is practiced worldwide in different forms. Examples include the highly successful WIR Bank of Switzerland, various Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS) and Bilateral and Multilateral Payment Arrangements between central banks.

Published: March 2018

Em entrevista a Ricardo Santhiago, a artista visual Astrid Salles recupera
aspectos de sua formação no campo da criação artística, desde a juventude,
na década de 1959, no interior de São Paulo, para revisar, na sequência,
tópicos marcantes de sua trajetória de vida. Formada inicialmente em Música, reconhecida como a primeira mulher a tocar trompa no Brasil, Astrid passou pela ilustração e pela representação de paisagem, identificando-se, no presente, como pintora. Na conversação, a artista recupera, entre outros pontos, o encontro com o sertanista Orlando Villas-Bôas, decisivo para que ela viesse a se dedicar, em sua produção plástica, à reinterpretação de grafismos indígenas.

Authors: Amar Andi L. , Congdon Robert A. , Gardiner Christopher P. , Coventry Ross J. 
Published: March 2018

Soil fertility can influence seed production and seedling growth. This study compared seed yields, seed and seedling characteristics of eight forage legumes (Stylosanthesscabra, S. hamata, Centrosemabrasilianum, C. pascuorum, Desmanthuspubescens, D. Virgatus, Macroptiliumbracteatum and M. martii) grown on two soil types (red and yellow kandosols), of low fertility, that are widespread in the Australian tropical rangelands. Seeds of the Desmanthus species germinated most rapidly and, with M. bracteatum, produced the highest proportion of readily germinable seed. M. bracteatum seed produced on the Yellow Kandosol germinated significantly faster, as did the S. hamata from the Red Kandosol than the other species. S. scabra cv. Seca and C. brasilianum produced more readily germinable seeds from plants grown on the Red Kandosol. C. pascuorum, D. pubescens and M. bracteatum produced a higher percentage of readily germinable seeds and fewer hard seeds when grown on the Yellow Kandosol. No significant differences were found in seedling vigour or biomass allocation from seeds produced on the different soil types

Authors: Rauf Rustam Abd. , Daryanto Arief , Priyarsono D.S. 
Published: March 2018

Central Sulawesi is a province in Indonesia with abundant natural resources particularly in agricultural sector. This condition suggests that the agricultural sector plays a very significant role in Central Sulawesi economy. One of the causal factors leading to the disparity of income distribution and poverty is investment allocation with its inconsistency occurs in sectoral development planningThe Gini Ratio of Central Sulawesi Province was 0.4844 in 2008 reflecting moderate level of income disparity for the income distribution among household groups. Simulation of increasing investment on agricultural and other sectors for 10% can generally decrease poverty at all groups of households both in rural and urban area. Simulation 2 (investment in plantation subsector) led to highest poverty decline as comparison to other simulation.

Collaborative treatment for a case of condylar hyperplastic facial asymmetry
Authors: Usumi-Fujita Risa , Nakakuki Koichi , Fujita Koichi , Kosugi Machiko , Yonemitus Ikuo , Fukuyama Eiji , Ono Takashi 
Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT
Facial asymmetry can be caused by unilateral condylar hyperplasia. In such cases, it may be difficult to achieve symmetry since there is dentoalveolar compensation on the affected side, and the occlusal cant does not correspond to the frontal mandibular deviation. In the case presented, surgical orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery planning was accomplished for a patient with facial asymmetry due to condylar hyperplasia. The surgical plan was devised with particular attention to the severe dentoalveolar compensation. In this case, prior to the two-jaw surgery, the occlusal cant and frontal mandibular plane inclination was corrected through impaction of the left molar region by segmental osteotomy. Facial asymmetry and severe dentoalveolar compensation were successfully corrected after a unilateral segmental osteotomy and two-jaw surgery, resulting in a stable occlusal relationship and facial symmetry as well as good jaw function. Collaboration between the orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons was essential for the successful treatment of the patient.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To evaluate the esthetics and frictional force of an orthodontic wire passed through a newly designed tube made of a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) resin.

Materials and Methods:
Two types of standard PEEK tubes were prepared at 0.5 × 0.6ф and 0.8 × 0.9ф, and different archwires were passed through the tubes. Color values were determined according to brightness and hues. Friction was assessed with different bracket-wire combinations, and surface roughness was determined by stereomicroscopy before and after the application of friction.

Results:
The PEEK tube showed a color difference that was almost identical to that of coated wires conventionally used in clinical practice, indicating a sufficient esthetic property. The result of the friction test showed that the frictional force was greatly reduced by passing the archwire through the PEEK tube in almost all of the archwires tested.

Conclusions:
Use of the new PEEK tube demonstrated a good combination of esthetic and functional properties for use in orthodontic appliances.
