Improvement of Management of Rhagoletis Cerasi in Bosnia and Herzegovina Based on a Phenological Model
Authors: Nježić Branimir , Pećanin Dušan , Ðurić Gordana 
Published: August 2017

AbstractEuropean cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) is the key pest of sweet and sour cherry throughout Europe. Pest management is usually based on pesticide application. The key of successful management is knowing the proper time of pesticide application, based on the phenological model. To develop a phenological model, a local population of the pest from the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina was studied. First adult appearance and population densities were monitored by yellow sticky traps. Soil and air temperatures were compared at two thermal thresholds, 5 °C and 7 °C. Air temperature was applied in the model since it is more suitable for farmers and is related to soil temperature. Both thermal thresholds can be used. The first adult flies were captured after 435 degree-days (dd) and the first cumulative 5% of the catch after 605 dd. These two times should be considered for time of application of pesticides. Regarding time for first egg hatch, the first larva burrowed into fruits at 730 dd. Cultivars that can be harvested beginning on the 730 dd calculate from 1 March are considered to have low risk of cherry fruit fly damage.
Introduction and Breeding of Rhododendrons in Latvia
Authors: Kondratovičs Rihards , Kondratovičs Uldis 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Rhododendrons are relatively new beautiful ornamental plants in Latvia forming an essential part of public and private gardens, although they were introduced in Latvian territory already during the first half of 19th century. Rhododendrons deserve their immense popularity due to the diversity of their habitat, size and type of blossoms and leaves and their flowering season. There are about 1000 rhododendron species in the wild up to now whereas breeders in various countries have created more than 30 000 cultivars. Intensive rhododendrons introduction and acclimatization in Latvia started in 1957 when Rihards Kondratovičs, at the time director of the Botanical Garden, University of Latvia, started his research on the introduction and acclimatization of rhododendrons. Winterhardiness of about 400 wild species in Latvia was tested and 76 species were found to be suitable. Following the development of an extensive collection of wild rhododendron species and cultivars, the Rhododendron Breeding and Experimental Nursery “Babīte”, University of Latvia, was established at 1980 and the active breeding of new winterhardy cultivars was started. In 2017, the collection of outdoor rhododendrons of the University of Latvia consists of 76 species and 265 cultivars, including 109 cultivars bred in Latvia by Professor Rihards Kondratovičs.
The Old Axolot by Jacek Dukaj: Between Multimodality and Transmediality
Authors: Maj Krzysztof M. 
Published: August 2017

Summary
This article attempts to revise the categories of hypertexuality, multimodality and transmediality in the context of the idea of multi-layered narration in Jacek Dukaj’s essay Bibliomachia and his novel The Old Axolot: Hardware Dreams (e-book, 2015). The principal aim of this analysis is to map the broad spectrum of narrative techniques and experiments that augment and upgrade the traditional concept of the represented world to that of the cognitive narrative world. The latter term holds out a promise of getting a better grip on certain innovative narrative projects whose harbinger is The Old Axolot. The world-building strategy of this novel is twofold: it shapes its narrative world and the marketing campaign of its bilingual e-book edition. At the same time, the introduction of the Fictionary word game and an evolving concept of worldness makes The Old Axolot both an epitome of worldcentred narration, characteristic of both the culture of media convergence and the poetics of fantasy fiction, and a teaser, inviting us to re-examine our understanding of literature at the time of the World-building Turn.
Sensationalism and Mystery in the Plot Constructions of Seweryn Goszczyński’s the Castle of Kaniów
Authors: Zając Grzegorz 
Published: August 2017

Summary
Seweryn Goszczyński’s The Castle of Kaniów (1828) has remained undeservedly in the shadow of a few other romantic verse-tales of the 1820s and 1830s, the heyday of that genre in Polish literary history. This type of epic poetry has a distinct preference for a non-linear, fragmented plot and a multi-level structure of presented world. However, the key note in the design of Goszczyński’s historical tales sensationalism, which determines the book’s artistic worth and its lasting attractiveness. Goszczyński knows how to employ a whole range of Gothic tricks and is also remarkably adept at using mystery to keep up dramatic tension in his tale of the Cossack uprising of 1768.
Bruno Schulz, E.M. Lilien and the Archaeology of Polish Jewish Modernism
Authors: Underhill Karen 
Published: August 2017

Summary
This paper discusses Bruno Schulz’s recently discovered 1937 essay on the Drohobycz-born graphic artist Ephraim Moses Lilien, best known for his iconic Zionist-themed black-and-white graphics in the Secessionist style. Schulz describes in his essay the seminal influence that the encounter with Lilien’s art had on him at the age of thirteen: “There took place in me at that time a kind of internal shift. Lilien effected a powerful fertilization of my internal world, that revealed itself in an early, youthful and clumsy creativity.” As the first known document in which Bruno Schulz openly presents his views on the contemporary political, cultural and spiritual concerns of his Jewish generation in Poland and Eastern Europe, the Lilien article enables a more direct reading of Schulz’s own aesthetic project as an inheritor of the ethos of the fin-de-siècle Jewish Renaissance Movement, and as a contribution to the development of Jewish literary modernisms in Central Europe. The disappearance of the Lilien article from readers′ consciousness for over three quarters of a century - since World War II - and its reemergence today not only represents an exciting next episode in the quest, initially undertaken by Jerzy Ficowski, to recover Schulz’s existing oeuvre. It also offers a fitting metaphor for a larger phenomenon taking place today within the fields of both Polish and Jewish studies, that I have called here the archaeology of Polish Jewish modernism. The discussion proposes an additional paradigm of “national indifference”, adapted from the work of historian Tara Zahra, as a tool for thinking Schulz’s texts as a simultaneously Jewish and Universal writing that resists attachment to political nationalisms, and to the project of nation-state building. More directly than he had done in the Sanatorium stories, Schulz reveals in the Lilien essay a strong commitment to the Jewish/Universal project of Cultural Zionism, inspired by Ahad Ha’am and promoted by prominent Jewish thinkers and spokespeople of the Lemberg/Lwów region, and a deep reticence about and finally rejection of political Zionism. Thus Schulz’s Lilien essay points to, and becomes an apologia for, his own decision to seek a continuation of the religious, mythic and messianic Jewish tradition not in the promise of return to Palestine, but through the medium of the living book, which he calls here “that creation born of the longing of golus”.
Polish Tartar Travel Writing in the Interwar Period: Themes, Motifs, Narrative Strategies
Authors: Czerwiński Grzegorz 
Published: August 2017

Summary
The article analyzes Polish Tartar travel writing in the interwar period, i.e. Mustafa Aleksandrowicz’s, Leon Kryczyński’s, Edige Szynkiewicz’s and Ali Ismail Woronowicz’s (all of them Polish Muslims) accounts of their journeys to North Africa (Morocco, Egypt) and the Middle East (Persia). The analysis shows that the themes and narrative strategies of their work differ in many ways from those of mainstream contemporary Polish literature and journalism. Most importantly, the Tartar authors saw the Islamic countries through Muslim eyes. This perspective also determined their interests (the themes) and their point of view (they combined the roles of the observer and the participant).
Stem breakage and forking in low and high elevationPinus tecunumanii
Authors: Nyoka B. I. , Tongoona P. , Gumbie C. M. 
Published: August 2017

SummaryThe incidences of stem breakage and forking at ages five and eight years in low and high elevationPinus tecunumaniiwere assessed in multilocation provenance-progeny tests comprising 16 provenances of both low and high elevationP. tecunumanii. Stem breakage and forking were found to be more severe at the highest test site (1760m a.s.l.), and progressively declined with decreasing altitude. The mean stem breakage at individual sites for the two ages ranged from 0.7% to 19.5% in the low elevationP. tecunumanii, while that of the high elevationP. tecunumaniiwas between 0% and 12.9%. The mean percent of forked trees ranged between 3.9% and 46.8% in the low elevationP. tecunumaniiand from 5.3% to 27.5% in the high elevationP. tecunumanii. The wide provenance variation in stem breakage and forking suggests that genetic factors related to seed source influence these traits. The low elevationP. tecunumaniihad significantly higher incidences of stem breakage and forked trees compared to the high elevationP. tecunumanii. Overall, provenances with very low levels of stem breakage and forking included San Jerónimo, Montana Sumpul, Las Piedrecitas and Jocón. Although tested on a limited number of sites, the genotype* environment interaction at both provenance and family level appeared to be inconsequential. The mean percent of trees with stem breakage and forks increased between the two assessment ages, with changes ranging from small to more than double, implying that decision on selection against stem breakage and forking should be avoided at five years or earlier. The results of this study showed that the challenges of stem breakage and forking in plantations can be managed by one or a combination of site and seed source selection, while intensive breeding and selection could also be used as a long term strategy.
Primer Note: Development of Highly Polymorphic Nuclear Microsatellite Markers for Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa)
Authors: Iwaizumi M. G. , Watanabe A. , Isoda K. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
We developed 32 microsatellite markers from an enriched genomic DNA library of hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa), one of the most important Japanese forestry conifer species. From a total of 1,056 cloned plasmids, 96 sequence-specific primer pairs were designed from 110 candidate clones. We selected 32 primers that showed successful amplification and marked polymorphism and evaluated their characteristics using DNA from 38 C. obtusa elite trees planted in the Forest Tree Breeding Center. The markers were highly polymorphic, with the number of alleles ranging from 8 to 32 (mean: 20.09), and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.811 to 0.958 (mean: 0.901). Progress in breeding projects and studies of the ecological genetics of this species can be expected through the use of this enlarged marker pool.
Short Note: Seven Genomic SSRs Revealed in Eucalyptus by Re-sequencing of DNA Sequences from GenBank
Authors: He X. , Li F. , Shi J. , Gan S. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Seven genomic SSR markers of Eucalyptus were developed from DNA sequences of E. grandis deposited in GenBank. Their repeat motifs were revealed by resequencing with an individual tree of E. urophylla or E. tereticornis, and five out of the seven markers turned out to be heterozygous within the specific tree sequenced. The sequence identity ranged from 75.06% to 96.66%, with an average of 87.31%. These markers could be valuable in genetics studies in Eucalyptus. This report demonstrates the advantages of re-sequencing in developing SSR markers from publicly accessible databases.
Heritability of Yield and Secondary Traits in two populations of Para Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis)
Authors: Narayanan C. , Mydin Kavitha K. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Heritability and interactions of yield and growth traits were assessed in Hevea brasiliensis using full-sib progenies and clonal populations. Using parent-offspring regression, annual mean rubber yield (ARY) and summer yield (SY) showed moderate to high heritability (ARY, h
2 =34–56%; SY, h
2 =36–52%). Among the yield components, girth exhibited low to moderate heritability (h
2 =17–36%) while branching height showed low heritability (h
2 =18%). Using forty clonal genotypes, annual mean rubber yield (H
2=48%), rubber yield during peak period (H
2=47%) and rubber yield during stress (or summer yield) (H
2=44%) showed high estimates of heritability. Among the other yield components, except volume of latex during stress period (H
2=40%), remaining yield components showed moderate estimates for heritability (H
2=29–37%). Dry rubber content (DRC) based on annual mean showed very high heritability (H
2=68%), followed by DRC during stress (H
2=51%) and peak (H
2=50%) periods. Latex flow rate based on annual mean and peak period data showed high heritability (H
2=51%) followed by latex flow rate during stress period (H
2=42%). Plugging indices of annual and stress period showed high heritability (H
2=43%) than that of peak period (H
2=25%). Regarding growth traits, girth showed high heritability (H
2=50%) than girth increment (H
2=32%). While bark thickness showed high heritability (H
2=40%) length of tapping panel showed moderate heritability (H
2=27%). Total chlorophyll content exhibited moderate heritability (H
2=22%); chlorophyll pigment ratio showed low heritability (H
2=5%). Based on parent-offspring analysis, annual mean rubber yield exhibited high genetic correlation with summer yield and girth. Annual mean rubber yield and summer yield were negatively correlated with branching height. Regarding phenotypic correlations among the forty clonal genotypes, annual mean rubber yield exhibited high correlation with latex volume, latex flow rate, DRC, girth and bark thickness. However, annual mean rubber yield was negatively correlated with yield depression under stress and plugging index. Rubber yield, volume and rate of flow of latex over the three periods, yield depression under stress, girth increment, annual mean plugging index and plugging index under stress showed high estimates of genetic advance. The high estimates of heritability for yield and its components coupled with their high genetic gain indicated that considerable improvement can be achieved for these traits through selection. Estimates for indirect selection efficiency were not optimal for indirect selection for yield using girth and summer yield.
A combination of fruit and leaf morphology enables taxonomic classification of the complex Q. robur L. – Q. x rosacea Bechst. – Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl. in autochthonous stands in Flanders
Authors: Mijnsbrugge Kristine Vander , De Cleene Luc , Beeckman Hans 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Hybrids between Quercus robur and Q. petraea have been a sought topic of many studies in Europe during the last decades. Here, leaf and fruit morphology were studied in five oak stands where both species occur naturally intermixed. The stands are relicts of old, possibly medieval coppice wood. Twenty two leaf characters and nine fruit characters were assessed on three leaves and three fruits per tree and for thirty trees per stand. A principal component analysis (PCA) resulted in a bimodal distribution with restricted overlap along the first component when both leaf and fruit data were processed together. For leaf and fruit data separately, the analysis produced only continuous clusters of trees. Two types of putative hybrids can be defined that either show a petiole length of the leaf (PL) according to Q. robur and a petiole length of the fruit (FP1) according to Q. petraea, or vice versa. These hybrids cluster within both groups of the PCA analysis, but not all are situated close to or in the intermediate area between the groups. A lowered mean relative number of developed acorns in the hybrid groups in comparison to their putative maternal parent, based on the assumption of matroclinal inheritance of PL, is observed. This might indicate a reduced ability for successful fertilisation in the hybrids. These results suggest the presence of putative hybrids and introgressed forms within the morphological distinct Q. robur and Q. petraea groups and argument for a taxonomically defined Q. x rosacea based on PL and FP1 limits.
Genetic consequences of subtropical rainforest fragmentation onMacadamia tetraphylla(Proteaceae)
Authors: Spain C. S. , Lowe A. J. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractHabitat fragmentation can bring about a variety of gene-flow alterations in plant populations, potentially threatening adaptive potential and local persistence. It is expected that following habitat fragmentation an increased level of inbreeding will be evident. In addition, a reduction in genetic diversity and increased genetic differentiation is expected following severe or long term population bottlenecks. We examined population genetic parameters for the subtropical rainforest treeMacadamia tetraphylla(Proteaceae) at six field sites throughout its recently fragmented range, using four microsatellite loci. Genetic diversity (HE) of the juvenile cohort was significantly correlated with estimated population size. No significant difference was observed for genetic diversity between adult and juvenile cohorts, but juveniles, and not adults, exhibited significant population differentiation (θ =0.061;P<0.0001 and θ =0.016;P=0.23, respectively). A second, standardised measure of differentiation, ×′, yielded similarly large differences between the two cohorts, though higher estimates of differentiation overall (adults – θ′=0.034, juveniles – θ′=0.116). The coefficient of population inbreeding (f) was significant and positive in all juvenile, and four out of six adult, populations, and was significantly positively correlated with adult tree density, but not adult population size. Since fragmentation is relatively recent for this species, the population bottleneck must have been quite severe to have produced the observed patterns of population differentiation and genetic diversity. Fragmentation of forest across the study area over the last 100+ years has led to the genetic isolation ofM. tetraphyllapopulations resulting in increased population divergence and likely eventual loss of genetic variation in future generations.
Neurophysiological Assessment of Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Drakulic Svetlana Miletic 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Cognitive impairment occurs in a high percentage in all forms of multiple sclerosis, regardless of physical disability. Slowing the speed of information processing is one of the most difficult and the most frequently mentioned, but impairment of memory, attention, executive functions are included also. Long latency event related potentials (ERP) are much more objective means of cognitive functioning evaluation. Different types of immunomodulatory therapies which are used for relapsing- remitting forms of multiple sclerosis may affect the results of ERP. ERP can evaluate subclinical changes and provide important information on the evolution of cognitive changes in patients with MS.
Mesmo que Capitu tenha traído Dom Casmurro: Uma análise comparativa entre o roteiro de Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes e Lygia Fagundes Telles e o romance de Machado de Assis
Authors: Betemps Danielle Rasmussen 
Published: August 2017

Este artigo é o resultado de uma análise comparativa entre o roteiro cinematográfico Capitu (1967), de Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes e Lygia Fagundes Telles, e o romance Dom Casmurro (1900), de Machado de Assis. Considerando o roteiro como uma primeira adaptação, a referida análise visou contestar a ideia de fidelidade e a consequente desvalorização das adaptações cinematográficas. Para tanto, partiu-se da secular relação entre cinema e literatura, mais estritamente das diferenças e semelhanças entre os textos literário e cinematográfico, enfocando as características de dois elementos ficcionais – narrador e personagem – e as estratégias utilizadas por ambos os sistemas no processo de configuração desses elementos. Ilustraram-se acréscimos feitos no roteiro, discutiu-se a função do narrador-protagonista do romance e as estratégias utilizadas no roteiro para sua representação e refletiu-se acerca das escolhas feitas pelos roteiristas para a elaboração de Capitu. Concluiu-se que os roteiristas adicionaram elementos que inexistem no texto literário com a finalidade de adaptar o romance aos limites do texto cinematográfico, mas sem deixar de apontar para o texto machadiano. Quanto à narração, foi constatado que a focalização recai no protagonista Bentinho, o qual é perseguido pelo roteiro – que mostra o que ele vê e como vê. Essas alterações configuram escolhas dos roteiristas, as quais foram feitas durante o processo de escrita do roteiro para melhor moldar o texto literário de Machado de Assis a outro texto: o cinematográficoPalavras-chave: Literatura; cinema; adaptação; roteiro
Leitura das regionalidades culturais entre o pampa e o sertão na literatura brasileira
Authors: Pedra Graciele Macedo , Chaves Priscila Monteiro 
Published: August 2017

O presente ensaio se propõe a analisar os contos A terceira margem do rio do escritor mineiro Guimarães Rosa, Travessia de Sérgio Faraco e O anjo da Vitória de João Simões Lopes Neto, escritores gaúchos. Foi observado, a partir da narrativa de três crianças, a tentativa de enxergar heróis nas figuras: o pai que buscou refúgio em uma canoa no rio, a busca pela sobrevivência do tio marginalizado e a morte precoce do padrinho na guerra. Os autores, através de seus heróis fragilizados, abordam de maneira particular o drama essencial, entre si mesmos e o mundo, através da imaginação das crianças que se envolvem com o arquétipo de seus heróis românticos. Considerando as referenciadas temáticas, ditas universais, algumas questões acerca da literatura regional foram ponderadas.Palavras-chave: Arquétipos; crianças; universalidade; literatura regional.

"Corpo de baile", João Guimarães Rosa & forma trina-unitária
Authors: Belúzio Rafael Fava 
Published: August 2017

Tremem triângulos nas tramas; João Guimarães Rosa, suas fontes, seus estilos, seus leitores; meu ensaio três vezes recortado. No escritor mineiro, segundo a tradição crítica, tudo é e não é; esse ponto crucial do autor cruza com a noção crucial de Trindade, de modo que se pode notar a dor, o sofrimento e a agonia da influência; no meio do redemoinho. Por isso este trabalho se volta, principalmente, para a avaliação das formas pelas quais Rosa internaliza o procedimento trino-unitário tanto em sua poética geral, quanto em Corpo de Baile e em “Buriti”.
