Several abiotic factors may influence the growth and development of forest species. Among these, luminosity is one of the most important, because it affects plant physiological processes and control their metabolism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different shading levels under growth
and chlorophyll indices on Calotropis procera plants. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments (0, 30, 50, 70 and 90% of shading), 8 replicates and one plant per plot. Growth characteristics (leaf area, leaf area index, specific leaf area, leaf area ratio and leaf specific weight) and chlorophyll a, b, total index and chlorophyll a/b ratio were evaluated. The data were submitted to analysis of variance by the F test and in the cases of significance a linear and polynomial regression analysis was performed. Shade levels in the 40% range provide higher leaf area and leaf area
index in silk flower plants. The specific leaf area and the leaf area ratio are positively influenced by shading. In shaded environments silk flower plants have reduced chlorophyll indices.

Duchowe iunctim. Powierzenie przez biskupa siedleckiego Henryka Przeździeckiego parafii i sanktuarium w Kodniu Misjonarzom Oblatom Maryi Niepokalanej w 1927 r.
Authors: Zając Paweł 
Published: August 2019

Terytorium diecezji siedleckiej było w drugiej połowie XIX w. świadkiem surowych prześladowań religijnych. Rząd carski konfiskował katolickie kościoły i zmuszał unitów do wyrzekania się unii z biskupem Rzymu i przechodzenia na prawosławie. Siedemnastowieczny wizerunek Matki Bożej Kodeńskiej został wywieziony z Kodnia do sanktuarium jasnogórskiego. Dopiero odzyskanie przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 r. pozwoliło rozpocząć proces przywracania tradycyjnych kościelnych struktur. W artykule ukazane jest zaangażowanie bpa sieleckiego Henryka Przeździeckiego w sprowadzenie obrazu Matki Bożej Kodeńskiej z powrotem do Kodnia oraz powierzenie parafii i sanktuarium w Kodniu Misjonarzom Oblatom Maryi Niepokalanej. Początki duszpasterstwa oblatów nie wykluczały zaangażowania w odtwarzanie struktur Kościoła unickiego.

Cudowne uzdrowienia. Perspektywa teologicznofundamentalna
Co lekarze mają wspólnego z uzdrowieniami? Czy teologiczne pojęcie „cud” jest do pogodzenia z aktualnym stanem wiedzy medycznej? W jaki sposób można rozpoznać cudowne uzdrowienia? Skąd wynika ostrożność Kościoła w uznaniu niewyjaśnianych medycznie uzdrowień jako cudowne uzdrowienia w sensie religijnym? Celem podjętych rozważań jest udzielenie odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania z perspektywy współczesnej teologii katolickiej. Struktura rozważań obejmuje najpierw prezentację aktualnego rozumienia cudu jako znaku Boga (1); następnie udziału nauk medycznych w badaniu cudownych uzdrowień w Lourdes (2); teologicznego procesu uznania niewyjaśnialnych medycznie uzdrowień w Lourdes jako cudu w znaczeniu religijnym (3).

Published: August 2019

O objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar a pesca na comunidade Boca do Arapirí, município de Alenquer. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas com formulários semiestruturados e as informações foram analisadas através de estatística descritiva. Para o cálculo da CPUE foi utilizada a unidade kg/pescador.dia. As informações coletadas foram relacionadas com o ciclo hidrológico anual do rio Amazonas, obtido junto ao site da Agencia Nacional das águas (ANA). A pesca é a principal atividade econômica na comunidade e os envolvidos pescam em média 3,6 (±1,02) dias/semana usando ambientes próximos. O lago é o ambiente mais explorado com maior frequência entre abril e outubro, cuja finalidade é a alimentação e comércio. Foram identificados sete apetrechos empregados na atividade de pesca, com maior destaque para a malhadeira (80%). Das espécies capturadas destacaram-se Pescada (Plagioscion sp.), Curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans) e Aracu (Anostomidae).. As maiores taxas de CPUE concentram-se entre julho e outubro, quando o nível das águas diminui. Como medida de conservação os pescadores contam com um plano de utilização, que tem garantido a sustentação dos recursos e evitado o agravamento negativo de mudanças ambientais.

Abstract
Background

There were different voices about the accuracy of self-reported data. This study was to assess awareness and accuracy of self-reported height, weight and waist circumference (WC) among adult residents in rural poor areas of China for the first time.

Methods

Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to sample. Intraclass correlations (ICCs), Bland-Altman plots with limits of agreements (LOAs), Cohen’s kappa were used to examine the accuracy. Multi-factor Logistics and multiple linear regression were used to explore the effect of demographic and socioeconomic variables.

Results

Awareness rate of height, weight and WC were 66.29%, 82.29% and 60.00%, respectively. Height was over-reported 0.67 cm, weight and WC were under-reported 0.00 kg and 1.09 cm. ICC for height was 0.92, weight was 0.93 and WC was 0.93. Mostly differences were within 95% LOAs, but 95% LOAs were wide, especially WC. The percentage agreement (kappa) for BMI was 82.10% (0.71), for WC were 83.56% (0.66). Overall, obesity, overweight and increased WC were underestimated by 0.56%, 2.64% and 6.89%, respectively. Regression analysis showed some demographic and socioeconomic variables could affect the awareness and accuracy.

Conclusions

The self-reported height and weight could be used in rural poor areas of China, but the WC should be used with caution. The main task now is to further improve the awareness rate and accuracy of self-reported data, especially the people with low awareness rate and accuracy in certain subgroups. In addition, differences from the developed countries should be more discussed and investigated: all others showed people tend to under-reported weight, but the self-reported weight is amazingly accurate in our study; and contrary to studies in developed county, we found people tend to under-report WC.

Abstract
Background Improving oil palm in Nigeria for food security and subsequent export requires a better understanding of the genetic diversity among oil palm progenies tolerant and susceptible to Fusarium wilt disease. In view of the limitations of the orthodox method used in screening this disease, and the advantages of molecular markers, fourteen (14) Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) DNA markers were applied to evaluate the genetic diversity, population structure and cluster resolutions of alleles responsible for tolerance of 560 Elaeis guineensis Jacq palms representing 8 different progenies distributed across NigeriaResults The amplification product revealed a moderately high level of genetic diversity with a total of 46 alleles identified, resulting in an average of 4.9091 alleles per locus detected between the oil palm progenies. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values varied between 0.3706-0.7861, with a mean value of 0.6829. The genetic diversity values ranged from 0.4063-0.8125 with a mean of 0.7216, while the major allele frequency ranged from 0.2500- 0.7500 with a mean value of 0.3750. Shannon's information index (I), Nei's gene diversity (H), and the effective number of alleles (Ne) had values of 0.6931, 0.5000, and 2.000, respectively. The genetic diversity was highest in progeny 3023, and lowest in progeny 4189. Mean values of the total gene diversity (Ht), gene diversity within the population (Hs) of the progenies, coefficient of gene differentiation among the progenies (Gst) and level of gene flow (Nm) were 0.4899, 0.3520, 0.2815 and 1.2764, respectively. The dendrogram clustered the progenies into six major clusters, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) grouped the progenies into five clusters. PCA further identified the coordinate positions of tolerant and susceptible alleles of oil palm progeniesConclusion This study confirmed the identification of the coordinate positions of tolerant alleles in the gene loci, which could be exploited by breeders to developing tolerant oil palm seedlings.
