Effect of Gibberellic Acid and Indole 3-Acetic Acid on Seed Germination Performance of Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) Lam (Verdc)
Authors: Lalitha J. , Rafath Haseena , Subash M. 
Published: January 2017

The experiment was undertaken with an objective to investigate the effect of various concentrations of plant growth regulators, i.e., Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) on seed germination of Macrotyloma uniflorum. Seeds were soaked for 12 hours in different concentrations substances (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mg/L) of IAA, GA3 and control set was soaked only in distilled water. Three replicates of each treatment with fifty seeds per replicate were arranged for precise physiological analysis. Significant variation was found in all aspects after analysis of variance (ANOVA) of each mean value. After two weeks of seed soaking, it was noted that germination percentages were significantly accelerated by lower concentrations (1 and 2 mg) of used hormones. Amongst the two potential growth regulators, 2 mg/L was found most effective because it showed highest germination percentage for IAA (93%) and GA3 (88%). A great deal of information relating to seed germination practices shows that these plant growth regulators were efficient in overcoming dormancy leading to rapid seed germination. IAA was selected as best hormone in this study, which showed highest seed germination (93%).

Stability analysis was carried out with nine mutant genotypes and one local accession of neelamari (Indigofera tinctoria L.) under four environments to identify stable genotypes that could be cultivated uniformly under varied environmental conditions for yield and yield attributing traits as well as for the indigotin content. Pooled analysis of variance for stability indicated that all the genotypes of neelamari were highly significant for all the characters indicated that materials selected possessed sufficient genetic variation for all the traits studied. Mean squares due to G x E interaction and E + (G x E) were found significant for some of the traits. Genotype x Environment (linear) were exhibited by all the genotypes for most of the characters. The mutants It-3 and It-6 were stable over all environments for the characters plant spread, dry weight of leaves and indigotin content. Mutant It-8 was stable over favourable environment for the characters plant height, plant spread, girth of stem, total fresh weight of plant, fresh weight of leaves and dry weight of leaves and It-10 was stable over unfavourable environment for plant spread, total fresh weight of the plant and dry weight of shoot.

Análise do Livro i do Novo Código de Processo Civil: Um Reflexo do Fenômeno da Constitucionalização do Processo Civil
Authors: Costa Yvete Flavio da , Moretti Deborah Aline Antonucci 
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar o Livro I do Novo Código de Processo Civil, denominado Das normas processuais civis interligando-o com o processo de constitucionalização que o processo civil vem passando após a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988. Isso porque, a partir da promulgação da Constituição Democrática, esta passou a ser vetor máximo de todo o sistema jurídico. Ou seja, todo o ordenamento deve estar em conformidade com seus princípios e regras, sob pena de ser considerado inconstitucional. O Código anterior, promulgado em 1973, antes, portanto, da Constituição atual, não tinha essa preocupação, pois naquele momento, o vetor máximo do ordenamento jurídico era o Código Civil de 1916. Por isso, em seu texto, não eram encontrados, na forma expressa, alguns dos postulados fundamentais ao desenvolvimento válido e regular do processo civil, tais como o contraditório, a ampla defesa e a publicidade processual. Com isso em mente, o legislador trouxe, nesse capítulo, uma espécie de apanhado de normas de introdução ao processo civil, regulando a aplicação do processo no tempo e no espaço, além de positivar os ditames constitucionais que não se encontravam presentes de forma expressa no texto codificado anterior. Justifica-se então, a presente pesquisa, na necessidade de efetuar um aprofundamento no estudo da constitucionalização do processo civil, tendo em vista a contemporaneidade do assunto. De forma a possibilitar o aprofundamento temático do assunto, foram empregados os métodos lógico dedutivo e lógico indutivo, já que a pesquisa teve por base a investigação dedutiva da nova legislação.
Atualização da Ação Sindical para os Desafios da Contemporaneidade
Authors: Lobato Marcia Regina , Eça Vitor Salino de Moura 
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo tem como propósito analisar o modelo sindical brasileiro na contemporaneidade, iniciando-se pela definição doutrinária de sindicato, seguindo-se pela abordagem de sua evolução histórica e da regulamentação do sindicalismo no ordenamento jurídico pátrio. Tratar-se-á do modelo vigente, assim como de suas funções e prerrogativas dominantes, em consonância com a sua finalidade precípua, mormente a de representar e defender os direitos e interesses dos trabalhadores, em todos os segmentos de ocupação. Será demonstrada a importância do papel dos sindicatos no procedimento das negociações coletivas laborais para a promoção de ajustes entre o capital e o trabalho visto que, sem a sua presença os pactos não se realizariam. A atual conjuntura sócioeconômica por que passa o Brasil afeta sobremaneira todos os assalariados que muito comumente têm surpreendido com a ameaça de desemprego. Tal situação conduz à necessidade de um debate com o fito de invocar a força sindical para negociar, mesmo que em uma situação de desequilíbrio. Isso propicia o diálogo entre as categorias profissional e econômica, a fim de sugerir soluções para os desafios característicos de tempos de crise, de modo a assegurar o maior número de postos de trabalho e, assim, evitar o retrocesso na busca de uma sociedade mais justa, equânime, solidária e condescendente.

Published: January 2017

Measuring biodiversity of insects is an essential part in management concept of insect pest populations based on ecology. This study examined the index of insect biodiversity by measuring species richness, species evenness and heterogeneity in organic and non-organic rice farming ecosystem. The sampling was conducted during the planting season of April–May 2015 and October–November 2015 at 44, 52 and 66 days after rice transplanting (DAT). High number of species richness (7 to 13 species) was found in the non-organic rice field (April–May 2015). In contrast, high number of species richness (22 to 33 species) was found in the organic rice field (October–November 2015). The species evenness and heterogeneity in the organic farming were generally higher than these in the non-organic rice in the both of planting season April–May 2015 and October–November 2015. Overall, the organic rice farming ecosystem can increase species richness, species evenness and heterogeneity of insect. INTISARI Mengukur biodiversitas serangga adalah salah satu bagian penting dalam konsep pengelolaan populasi serangga hama berbasis ekologi. Penelitian ini mengkaji indeks biodiversitas serangga dengan mengukur kekayaan spesies (species richness), kemerataan spesies (species evenness), dan keanekaragaman/kelimpahan spesies (heterogenity) pada sistem budidaya padi organik dan non-organik. Pengambilan sampel diperoleh pada saat musim tanam April–Mei 2015 dan musim tanam Oktober–November 2015 di 44, 52, dan 66 hari setelah tanam. Total kekayaan spesies tertinggi (7–13 spesies) ditemukan di lahan padi non-organik (April–Mei 2015). Sebaliknya, total kekayaan spesies (22–33 spesies) ditemukan di lahan padi organik (Oktober–November 2015). Kemerataan spesies dan heterogenitas di lahan padi organik secara umum lebih tinggi dibanding di padi non-organik pada kedua musim tanam April–Mei 2015 dan Oktober–November 2015. Secara keseluruhan, sistem budidaya di ekosistem padi organik dapat meningkatkan kekayaan spesies, kemerataan spesies, dan heterogenitas serangga.

Published: January 2017

AbstractBasically, the body of the black woman slaves have experienced an immensely oppression whether from the economic, politic, and ideological dimensions; nevertheless, it is the ideological strategy which is believed in contributing the biggest and furthest effect so that the oppression still exists even the slavery has been abolished. During the slavery, the black woman slaves are forced to give birth as many as possible for the profit of the master. This shows that there is a control over the womb of the black woman slave. One of the strategies that the writer wants to convey in this article is the regulation on the maternal role of the black woman slaver. The individual maternal role is considered as a good strategy to conquer the body of the black woman slave so that they and the post-slavery black women are placing a disadvantage position in the social structure. Racism, sexism, class, and gender issues are assumed as the causal factors of this kind of social inequity.Keywords: individual maternal role, communal maternal role AbstrakPada dasarnya, tubuh budak perempuan kulit hitam telah mengalami opresi secara besar-besaran baik dari dimensi ekonomi, politik dan ideologi; namun demikian, strategi ideologi-lah yang dipercaya memberikan efek paling besar dan dalam sehingga opresi tetap ada bahkan meski perbudakan itu sendiri telah ditiadakan. Selama perbudakan,budak perempuan kulit hitam dipaksa melahirkan anak sebanyak mungkin untuk kepentingan profit sang majikan dan hal tersebut menunjukkan adanya kontrol terhadap rahim budak perempuan kulit hitam. Salah satu strategi yang penulis ingin kemukakan di dalam artikel ini adalah regulasi terhadap peran maternal budak perempuan kulit hitam. Peran maternal individu dianggap strategis untuk menguasai tubuh perempuan kulit hitam sehingga budak perempuan kulit hitam dan perempuan kulit hitam pasca perbudakan menempati posisi yang tidak menguntungkan di dalam struktur sosial.Wacana rasisme, seksisme, kelas dan gender diasumsikan menjadi faktor penyebab ketimpangan sosial semacam ini.Kata kunci: peran maternal individu, peran maternal komunal

AbstractThis research is intended to describe the relationship between religion and State in handling the Halal products certification in Indonesia and Thailand. Halal certification in Indonesia was initially civil society movement that supported by the state, which is taken by LPPOM MUI. The main objective was to protect Muslim from Haram products. However, by coming out of law no. 33 2014 about halal product guarantee, the halal certification will be carried out by the state institution, that is Security Agency Halal Products known as BPJPH. While in Thailand, Halal product certification is the authority of Central Islamic Council of Thailand (CICOT) which is similar to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). In Thailand, Halal product certification has much giving supports to the government economic, especially for the purpose of exporting food to the Muslim countries and also to attract Muslim tourist to visit Thailand. Keywords: Religion, Country, Halal Certification AbstrakPenelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mendeskripsikan hubungan antara agama dan negara dalam penanganan sertifikasi produk halal di Indonesia dan Thailand. Indonesia pada awalnya sertifikasi halal merupakan gerakan civil society yang didukung negara, yaitu LPPOM MUI. Tujuan utamanya adalah melindungi umat islam dari barang-barang haram. Namun dengan keluarnya Undang-undang Nomor 33 Tahun 2014 Tentang Jaminan Produk Halal, penanganan sertifikasi halal akan dilakukan oleh lembaga negara, yaitu Badan penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal (BPJPH). Sedangkan di Thailand sertifiksi halal menjadi wewenang penuh Central Islamic Council Of Thailand (CICOT), semacam MUI di Indonesia.

Cancer statistics, 2017

AbstractEach year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. Incidence data were collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program; the National Program of Cancer Registries; and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Mortality data were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2017, 1,688,780 new cancer cases and 600,920 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. For all sites combined, the cancer incidence rate is 20% higher in men than in women, while the cancer death rate is 40% higher. However, sex disparities vary by cancer type. For example, thyroid cancer incidence rates are 3‐fold higher in women than in men (21 vs 7 per 100,000 population), despite equivalent death rates (0.5 per 100,000 population), largely reflecting sex differences in the “epidemic of diagnosis.” Over the past decade of available data, the overall cancer incidence rate (2004‐2013) was stable in women and declined by approximately 2% annually in men, while the cancer death rate (2005‐2014) declined by about 1.5% annually in both men and women. From 1991 to 2014, the overall cancer death rate dropped 25%, translating to approximately 2,143,200 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak. Although the cancer death rate was 15% higher in blacks than in whites in 2014, increasing access to care as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may expedite the narrowing racial gap; from 2010 to 2015, the proportion of blacks who were uninsured halved, from 21% to 11%, as it did for Hispanics (31% to 16%). Gains in coverage for traditionally underserved Americans will facilitate the broader application of existing cancer control knowledge across every segment of the population.

GLOBULAR CLUSTER ABUNDANCES FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION, INTEGRATED-LIGHT SPECTROSCOPY. II. EXPANDING THE METALLICITY RANGE FOR OLD CLUSTERS AND UPDATED ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES*
Authors: Colucci Janet E. , Bernstein Rebecca A. , McWilliam Andrew 
Published: January 2017

ABSTRACT
We present abundances of globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way and Fornax from integrated-light (IL) spectra. Our goal is to evaluate the consistency of the IL analysis relative to standard abundance analysis for individual stars in those same clusters. This sample includes an updated analysis of seven clusters from our previous publications and results for five new clusters that expand the metallicity range over which our technique has been tested. We find that the [Fe/H] measured from IL spectra agrees to ∼0.1 dex for GCs with metallicities as high as [Fe/H] = −0.3, but the abundances measured for more metal-rich clusters may be underestimated. In addition we systematically evaluate the accuracy of abundance ratios, [X/Fe], for Na i, Mg i, Al i, Si i, Ca i, Ti i, Ti ii, Sc ii, V i, Cr i, Mn i, Co i, Ni i, Cu i, Y ii, Zr i, Ba ii, La ii, Nd ii, and Eu ii. The elements for which the IL analysis gives results that are most similar to analysis of individual stellar spectra are Fe i, Ca i, Si i, Ni i, and Ba ii. The elements that show the greatest differences include Mg i and Zr i. Some elements show good agreement only over a limited range in metallicity. More stellar abundance data in these clusters would enable more complete evaluation of the IL results for other important elements.
Highly Selective Cleavage of Cytokines and Chemokines by the Human Mast Cell Chymase and Neutrophil Cathepsin G

Abstract
Human mast cell chymase (HC) and human neutrophil cathepsin G (hCG) show relatively similar cleavage specificities: they both have chymotryptic activity but can also cleave efficiently after leucine. Their relatively broad specificity suggests that they may cleave almost any substrate if present in high enough concentrations or for a sufficiently long time. A number of potential substrates have been identified for these enzymes and, recently, these enzymes have also been implicated in regulating cytokine activity by cleaving numerous cytokines and chemokines. To obtain a better understanding of their selectivity for various potential in vivo substrates, we analyzed the cleavage of a panel of 51 active recombinant cytokines and chemokines. Surprisingly, our results showed a high selectivity of HC; only 4 of 51 of these proteins were substantially cleaved. hCG cleaved a few additional proteins, although this occurred after adding almost equimolar amounts of enzyme to target. The explanation for this wide difference in activity against peptides or other linear substrates compared with native proteins is most likely related to the reduced accessibility of the enzymes to potential cleavage sites in folded proteins. In this article, we present evidence that sites not exposed on the surface of the protein are not cleaved by the enzyme. Interestingly, both enzymes readily cleaved IL-18 and IL-33, two IL-1–related alarmins, as well as the cytokine IL-15, which is important for T cell and NK cell homeostasis. Cleavage of the alarmins by HC and hCG suggests a function in regulating excessive inflammation.
Effect of Herbicides in Paddy Runoff on Seed Germination of Vallisneria asiatica and Ammannia multiflora

Published: January 2017

Although rice production provides stable environments for aquatic plants, the wide use of herbicides is a concern for wild plants inhabiting the surroundings of rice paddies. Because commercial herbicides are typically a cocktail of chemicals, they may pose a threat to wild plants even when the constituent chemicals do not individually have detrimental effects. We sampled water from a rice paddy and a river receiving the paddy drainage immediately after the transplanting period to identify and compare the concentrations of herbicides. We also examined the effect of the sampled water on the germination of two plants: Ammannia multiflora (hygrophyte) and Vallisneria asiatica (submerged). We found that the concentrations of glufosinate in the paddy and river waters were 0.0015 and 0.0013 mg L-1, respectively, and those of pyraclonil were 0.0010 and 0.0009 mg L-1 in the same waters, indicating that these chemicals persist outside the rice paddy. The germination rate of A. multiflora was significantly diminished with exposure to river and paddy water under fluctuating temperature conditions, whereas no difference was observed for V. asiatica. For a comprehensive understanding of the influences of residual herbicides on wetland biodiversity, it is necessary to analyse the effects of herbicides on a wide range of aquatic plants and at various stages of growth.
