A Critical Architecture – Comments on Politics and Society
Authors: Frampton Kenneth , Cairns Graham 
Published: January 2016

Over a fifty year career as an architectural critic and historian Kenneth Frampton has consistently defended the Modernist agenda of the Twentieth Century. However, he has also been fiercely critical of its failings and shortcomings. He has taught at the world’s most prestigious institutions, produced a body of work that can be defined as kaleidoscopic and has written texts which have become part of the canon of architectural history and theory. His encyclopedic Modern Architecture: a Critical History, is in its fourth edition and still remains a bedrock text for our understanding of the Modern Movement more than twenty years after its initial publication. His ground-breaking essay of 1983, Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance set the agenda for a reconsideration of Modernism that continues to resonate today. He has published internationally on a whole range of issues and remains committed to a critical analysis of Modernism which places architecture firmly in the context of the social and political milieu of the left.
In this fifty year career, the ideas of the social and political theorist Hannah Arendt have operated as a form of conceptual and ethical foundation. His 1979 essay, The Status of Man and the Status of his Objects, is a form of analysis of her theories that explores, amongst other things, her distinction between work and labour in the specific context of architecture. This essay is also given primary importance in his 2002 book Labour, Work and Architecture: Collected Essays on Architecture and Design, which he dedicates to the memory of Arendt. In his 1979 essay, he suggests that reading Arendt’s work in 1965 illuminated the “invariably confusing distinction between building (as process) and architecture (as stasis)”, with architecture having as its primary charge the creation of the public realm. He begins this interview-article by summarising these themes, but also by drawing out the relevance of Arendt’s ideas in the context of contemporary commodified culture. He goes on to explore a whole range of other ideas including the mediatisation of architecture, high rise development, suburbia and the role of government in the architecture of the United States and the United Kingdom.
Driving on the Left: Sorkin’s View of the Street, the City and architecture
Authors: Sorkin Michael , Cairns Graham 
Published: January 2016

Sardonic, cutting, insightful, provocative: Michael Sorkin is one of today’s most radical architectural commentators with a staunch leaning to the political left and a literary bent for framing painful truths in ironic, and sometimes hilarious, verse. However, he should not be dismissed as a radical, isolated, or lone and unhindered voice however. He is a Distinguished Professor of Architecture and Director of the Graduate Program in Urban Design at the City College of New York, and he has been Professor of Urbanism and Director of the Institute of Urbanism at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. In addition, he has taught at architecture schools across the world, including the Architectural Association, Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Cornell. Sorkin runs his own design studio and research institute and has been a contributing editor of theArchitectural Record. He was the architecture critic of theVillage Voicefor ten years and has published innumerable articles and essays.A list of some of his books includes:Twenty Minutes in Manhattan,Variations on a Theme Park,Exquisite Corpse,The Next Jerusalem,Indefensible Space, and a long list of otheretcs. andalsos….In this interview-article, he offers his opinion on a range of issues, including the environmental threats to contemporary America, architectural symbolism and paranoia, the importance of political action on the streets of the modern city, and the role of the architecture critic in the complex tapestry of contemporary culture. With regard the position of the modern critic, he begins by responding to a question regarding the relevance of Noam Chomsky’s description of the media as a form of propaganda and the contemporary journalist as functioning through the structure of what Chomsky defines as “filters,” or constraints and biases that dictate what gets written and published in the press.

Authors: Reidy Dennis E. , Kearns Megan C. , Houry Debra , Valle Linda A. , Holland Kristin M. , Marshall Khiya J. 
Published: January 2016

OBJECTIVES:
To assess gender differences in the proportion of adolescents reporting teen dating violence (TDV) and the frequency of TDV at multiple age points across adolescence in a high-risk sample of youth with previous exposure to violence.

METHODS:
A cross-sectional, high-risk sample of boys and girls (n = 1149) ages 11 to 17 years completed surveys assessing TDV and self-defense. Indices of TDV included perpetration and victimization scales of controlling behaviors, psychological TDV, physical TDV, sexual TDV, fear/intimidation, and injury.

RESULTS:
More girls reported perpetrating psychological and physical TDV, whereas twice as many boys reported sexual TDV perpetration. More girls reported fear/intimidation victimization than boys. When comparing the frequency of TDV across adolescence, boys reported more sexual TDV victimization at younger ages, and girls demonstrated a trend toward more victimization at older ages. Likewise, younger boys reported more fear/intimidation and injury perpetration and injury victimization than younger girls. However, by age 17, girls reported more injury perpetration than boys, and reports of injury victimization and use of self-defense did not differ. Notably, despite potential parity in injury, girls consistently reported more fear/intimidation victimization associated with TDV.

CONCLUSIONS:
Contrary to data suggesting that girls experience far more sexual TDV and injury, these data suggest that at specific times during adolescence, boys among high-risk populations may be equally at risk for victimization. However, the psychological consequences (fear) are greater for girls. These findings suggest a need to tailor strategies to prevent TDV based on both age- and gender-specific characteristics in high-risk populations.

Published: January 2016

Two experiments were conducted in the Nematology Laboratory of the Seed Pathology Centre and experimental field of the Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during 2004 to examine the influence of physical and chemical treatments on the seed borne nematode disease of rice. The integrated control with physical and chemical treatments against seed borne nematode (<i>Aphelenchoides besseyi</i>) causing white tip disease of rice varieties BR11 and Nizersial (T. Aman) rice revealed that farmers saved seeds of both the varieties treated simultaneously with brine solution, hot water and Furadan 3G resulted in enhanced plant height, root length, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, total number of spikelets per panicle, grain yield and lower association of seed borne nematode. Better responses were found with farmers saved seeds treated with brine solution and hot water than field application of Furadan 3G, hot water treatment and treatment with brine solution having higher plant growth characters and yield of grains correspondingly with lower number of sterile and discolored spikelets and seed borne nematode compared to the control.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 79-86

Published: January 2016

This study was conducted to develop pineapple candy prepared from fresh pineapple using 40, 50 and 60% sugar solution and then dried in solar drier. Acceptability of the product was also assessed. The thickness of pineapple slices were 0.5 and 1.0 cm. The pineapple slices were dipped into 40, 50 & 60% sugar solutions for overnight and then dried in solar drier. It was found that 0.5 cm thick of pineapple slices dried quickly than 1 cm thick slices. Sensory quality attributes of the prepared pineapple candy were analysed on the basis of colour, flvour, texture and overal acceptability using ANOVA test followed by DMRT test for identification of the best pineapple candy. Samples having 0.5 cm slice, osmosed in 60 % sugar solution and 0.5 cm slice, osmosed in 50% sugar solution were the preferred samples with respect to quality attributes and ranked as like very much. The samples having 0.5 cm slice, osmosed in 60 % sugar solution was the most acceptable among candies prepared under the study.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 87-93

Published: January 2016

A pot experiment was conducted during March 2012 to February 2013 to evaluate the salt tolerance of drumstick (Moringa sp.) genotypes in a factorial split plot design. Two factors, water salinity was assigned in the main plot with 4 levels (control, 7, 10 and 13 dS/m) and10 drumstick genotypes of Bangladesh (Acc. no. 1 to Acc. no. 10) in the sub-plot with 3 replications. The data were collected for the vegetative growth, percent alive cuttings and necrosis and chlorosis of leaves on the 12thmonth of the study. The results indicated that the Acc. no. 4 from Satkhira and the Acc. no. 5 from Khulna were the best in all respects even at 10 dS/m salinity level. The results also revealed that most of the genotypes performed more or less well up to the 7 dS/m salinity but none at the 13 dS/m. No genotype showed sensitivity to the lowest salinity level. In addition, The highest concentration of total Na+ and Cl- were observed in the shoots and the leaves of the Acc. no. 5 and Acc. no. 9 at 13 dS/m salinity level as well.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 94-100

Authors: Islam M Obaidul , Islam Md. Serazul , Saleh Md Abu 
Published: January 2016

An experiment was carried out in Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to investigate the effect of banana extract on micropropagation of <i>Dendrobium</i> sp. var. Sonia orchid through PLBs. The experiment was conducted during July 2012 to October 2013. Half-Murashige and Skoog (1/2MS) medium were used as basal medium and the medium was supplemented with banana extract at 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 ml L-1 with a control, where no banana extract was supplemented. The cultures were done in 100 ml conical flasks and maintain at 25°C with 30µ mol m-2 S-1 lighting provided by florescent tubes for 16 hours per day. Banana extract showed significant effect on growth and development of PLBs. Among the treatments, 100 ml L-1 banana extract enhanced new PLBs regeneration from explanted PLBs and growth and development of PLBs. Present research indicated that nutrient requirement for PLBs multiplication and plantlets growth of Dendrobium orchid is quantitatively different in vitro. Finally, 100 ml L-1 and 25 ml L-1 of banana extract may be recommended as supplement into 1/2MS medium for PLBs multiplication and plantlet regeneration, respectively in vitro.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 101-108
Development of Microsatellites: A Powerful Genetic Marker
Authors: Moniruzzaman M , Khatun R , Yaakob Zahira , Khan M S , Mintoo A A 
Published: January 2016

The tandem repeats, conserved short segments of DNA, which are found in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, are called microsatellites. It is also known as variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and short tandem repeats (STRs). Microsatellites present in both coding and non-coding regions of a genome. The high polymorphism of microsatellites makes them powerful genetic markers for genome mapping of many organisms. It is also suitable for ancient and forensic DNA studies for population genetics and conservation of biological resources. The major disadvantage of microsatellites is that for the first time they need to be isolated de novo from most species being examined. The task of microsatellite isolation is quite cumbersome involving in terms of effort and time, because it traditionally involves screening of genomic libraries. Cross-species amplification, Mining microsatellites from nucleotide sequenced data and Genomic library- based method are general methods of microsatellite isolation. Cross-species method may not effective for all species, Data mining is not applicable if there is no or limited data of DNA sequence. Genomic library based method is the best choice. Traditional protocol, primer extension protocol, selective hybridization, and Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences containing repeats (FIASCO) are the protocols of microsatellite development based on genomic library. FIASCO is the best protocol ever developed.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 152-172
Challenges of Seed Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) Production and Supply System in Bangladesh - A Review
Authors: Shaheb Md. Rayhan Shaheb , Begum M Mahbuba , Ahmed Kabir Uddin , Nazrul Mahmudul Islam , Wiersema Siert G 
Published: January 2016

Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) is an important vegetable that plays a vital role in global food and nutritional security and alleviation of poverty, especially in Bangladesh. Although, the soil and climatic conditions of Bangladesh are favourable for potato cultivation, every year production is hampered due to use of low quality seeds. Seed potato industry is developing in Bangladesh. However, only 5-10% quality seeds are being produced and used by the potato farmers. Quality seeds alone can contribute to increased yield by 15-20%. Both public and private sectors together supply only 5% quality seed potato and the rest 95% is almost of low quality produced by the farmers themselves. In prioritizing different issues of agriculture, challenges of production and supply of quality seed to the farmers should be considered as a top priority issue. For increasing quality seeds, the whole seed system needs to be reviewed. The present work was an attempt to review the seed potato production systems, supply system and also to identify the possible challenges and policy implications in regards of the problems on seed potato in Bangladesh.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 173-188

Published: January 2016

The present study was conducted to assess some chemical properties and heavy metals of surface waters collected from different sources at Bangladesh Agricultural University Campus and Mymensingh Sadar Upazila for common use. Twelve water samples were collected from 4 different locations during February to April 2011 for analyzing their chemical quality parameters. The recorded values of pH, EC (Electrical Conductivity), TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), DO (Dissolved Oxygen), As, Pb and Fe were found to range from 6.153 to 7.043, 0.194 to 0.679 mS/cm,106.333 to 389.333 ppm, 4.433 to 4.9 ppm, 0.064 to 1.756 ppb, 0.00053 to 0.00083 ppm and 0.567 to 1.795 ppm, respectively. pH and TDS of the surface water were within the standard value but other parameters such as As, Pb, and Fe were significantly higher than the standard for drinking water. The correlation analysis among chemical and heavy metal properties indicated that all the parameters had significant contribution to pollute the water except DO. The correlation between TDS and EC was strongly significant (r = 0.99**). pH showed positive significant correlation with EC and TDS. Fe showed negative (r = -0.636) significant correlation with As. The above findings show that the surface water in Mymensingh area is being gradually polluted by unplanned discharge of chemicals and heavy metals contained effluents. It might be concluded that the water is not so harmful yet for irrigation, aquaculture and livestock usage.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(1) 189-195
El Topo y la tópica del realismo contemporáneo : el aporte de Enrique Medina (Argentina)
Authors: Poumier Maria 
Published: January 2016

«El Topo contribution d'Enrique Medina à une note dominante du réalisme contemporain ».
Depuis 1982, E. Medina, classé hyperréaliste ou infra-littéraire pour ses romans aussi violents que populaires, publie des nouvelles dans le quotidien Pagina 12 (à ce jour, plus de 300 nouvelles publiées !). Dans les limites d'une page hebdomadaire, et en écrivant pour les lecteurs d'un quotidien résolument engagé dans la critique de la politique intérieure et la réflexion sur les phénomènes de société, cet auteur a mis au point une technique d'écriture d'une extrême virulence, en prise directe sur l'actualité nationale et internationale, politique ou du domaine du fait-divers sanglant. Cette technique « fulminante » hérite des moyens propres au cinéma et à la télévision et institue un nouveau niveau de relation entre représentation et réalité. Celui-ci ne peut être perçu dans sa richesse que par la reconstitution du nouveau rôle donné au lecteur, aux antipodes de la naïveté, et qui intègre des données psychologiques encore peu exploitées dans la littérature dite savante ou noble, du moins consacrée par les universitaires. L'illusion réaliste qui a été pendant au moins deux siècles le domaine des grandes réussites romanesques retrouve avec Enrique Medina une jeunesse et un dynamisme qui sont inséparables d'un projet critique d'envergure ; par là, comme les grands romanciers du XIXe siècle ont été des découvreurs en matière de psychologie de l'individu et des groupes, il annonce de nouvelles orientations dans les sciences humaines.
La ciudad y el viaje en la narrativa centroamericana
Authors: Ovares Flora 
Published: January 2016

« La ville et le voyage dans le récit centre-américain ».
Dans les pages des écrivains les plus jeunes de l'Amérique centrale, les personnages déambulent, individualités erratiques. Absorbés par des problèmes quotidiens et des rapports familiaux dont ils souffrent, ils ne parviennent pas à se sentir intégrés à leur monde. Le contexte où ils sont leur est plus qu'incompréhensible, c'est un labyrinthe, un cauchemar, la seule certitude est la mort. Ces êtres déracinés, de passage à travers le monde, sont représentés grâce à des formes de perception et d'expression nouvelles mobilisées en particulier par Arturo Arias, Rodrigo Soto, Carlos Cortés, Leonel Aburto, Rodolfo Arias.
La condition hybride dans Cuando era puertorriqueña
Authors: Pont Carmen Ana 
Published: January 2016

« La condición hîbrida en Cuando era puertorriquena de Esmeralda Santiago ».
La autobiografia de Esmeralda Santiago se propone disefiar para el pûblico estadounidense la trayaectoria de una vida llena de percances : su nifiez en Puerto Rico, en un medio rural pobre, su adolescencia de exilada en los barrios malos de Nueva York, hasta su vida adulta en las aula de la prestigiosa Universidad de Harvard. ¿ Será el testimonio de una vida doble : bilingue, desplazada por las presiones económicas y demográficas, o sera un inesperado florecimiento femenino en el sueño americano, como podria crerlo parte del pûblico ?
La contextualización del texto novelesco permite destacar la etapa de negativa de la aspiración de Puerto Rico a su propio ser, y déjà asomar la conciencia de resistencia al imperialismo, en busca de una identidad propia.
Imagen ambigua, recreada por la memoria bilingue que reconstruye el pasado de un pueblo. El olor de la guayaba abre el espacio del recuerdo, la nausea de la realidad inmediata es lo que induce la lèche y el pan untado con manteca de cacahuète, simbolismos cotidianos de la dicotomia de dos mundos y del ir y venir entre entre pasado y présente.
Journalisme et fiction dans le roman argentin, de Miguel Bonasso à Tomás Eloy Martinez
Authors: Bleton Isabelle 
Published: January 2016

« Periodismo y ficción en la novela argentina : de Miguel Bonasso a Tomás Eloy Martinez ».
En estos tiempos en que la manifestación de la violencia politica en Argentina y en el mundo trastornan profundamente el modo de aprehender la realidad, asi como la confianza que se ténia en el realismo tradicional, van surgiendo en Argentina unas nuevas formas literarias que intentan plasmar la historia reciente del pais. Ambos periodistas, Miguel Bonasso, Recuerdo de la muerte (1984) y Tomás Eloy Martinez, La novela de Perón (1985) y Santa Evita (1995), tratan de poner al servicio de una pesquisa sobre el pasado las técnicas periodisticas tanto como las novelisticas, integrando fiction y relato documental, en una transgresión espectacular de las ultimas fronteras que separaban el relato de lo referente. Hacen coexistir unos pactos de lectura contradictories y los personajes históricos con los personajes de ficción. Esta escritura cobra, ademâs, una dimension autorreflexiva : la escritura es un componente de la historia narrada. El acto mismo de representar la realidad se vuelve tema, fin problemático de la escritura y de la lectura.
Un estudio sobre Los recuerdos de la muerte, de Miguel Bonasso
Authors: Oliveira-Cézar María 
Published: January 2016

« Une étude de Los recuerdos de la muerte, de Miguel Bonasso. »
Durant les années 1980, après la chute des dictatures militaires du Cône Sud, paraissaient de livres racontant ce qui était arrivé pendant les années noires ; ils suscitaient des lectures passionnées et des débats. Les uns soulignaient la dénonciation, généralement liée au témoignage, d'autres mettaient en avant la réflexion sur le pourquoi et sur les conséquences. Les œuvres qui ont le plus profondément marqué les lecteurs ont été les textes poétiques, malgré leur moindre diffusion, mais aussi des œuvres de fiction, certaines ont été des best-sellers. Tel fut le cas du roman Los recuerdos de la muerte, de Miguel Bonasso, dont l'action se déroule dans un camp de concentration et d'extermination installé en plein Buenos Aires par la Marine.
Santa Evita de Tomás Eloy Martinez. La referencia inasible
Authors: Ferro Roberto 
Published: January 2016

« Santa Evita de Tomas Eloy Martinez, l'insaisissable référentialité ».
L'objectif est double. D'abord débusquer dans le texte de Tomas Eloy Martinez les glissements et les entrecroisements de l'histoire et de la fiction à travers un processus de construction d'une individualité ; appelons-la identité narrative. Qui vit l'histoire ? Qui raconte ? Santa Evita est un ensemble multlinéaire où s'affrontent deux dispositifs d'énonciation : ceux que concernent le récit, les opérations de représentation et la construction de l'intrigue. Ces marques du genre sont disposées en deux réseaux dont l'un répond au jeu entre l'original et sa copie (réfèrent et représenté) et un autre étrangle celle-ci et déconstruit l'apaisant équilibre de la duplication.
Le deuxième objectif est une réflexion sur la place accordée à la fiction en tant que terme hors norme dans la hiérarchie du récit qui impose de violentes contraintes, mais dont les bornes deviennent ici imprécises. On peut aujourd'hui affirmer que le concept de fiction est un paradigme de somnambulisme théorique
