description: Η επικράτηση του κινητήρα εσωτερικής καύσης στα οχήματα τον 20ο αιώνα προκάλεσε βλαπτικές παρενέργειες σημαντικής έκτασης και έντασης. έτσι κινητοποιήθηκε το παγκόσμιο επιστημονικό δυναμικό, προκειμένου να εξευρεθούν τρόποι αντιμετώπισης του προβλήματος. Οι αριθμοί των οχημάτων που προστίθενται κάθε χρόνο στην κυκλοφορία επιτείνουν τα φαινόμενα και καθιστούν επιτακτική την ανάγκη λήψης άμεσων μέτρων. Η αντικατάσταση του κιντήρα εσωτερικής καύσης διαφαίνεται ότι είναι θεμα χρόνου. Σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής είναι η ανασκόπιση των τεχνολογικών επιτευγμάτων που θα συμβάλλουν στο σχεδιασμό ενός οχήματος μηδενικής ρύπανσης. Ηχρήση νέων έξυπνων υλικών, η μείωση του βάρους, οι ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας, η ανλακτηση ενέργειας μέσω φρεναρίσματος είναι μερικές από τις εφαρμογές που αναπτύσσονται. Μακροπρόθεσμα αναμένεται να συμβάλλουν τεχνολογίες όπως οι κυψέλες καυσίμου και τα βιοκαύσιμα, ενώ στο άμεσο μέλλον αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσουν πολλά ηλεκτρικά υβριδικά οχήματα στην αγορά.
description: The prevalence of internal engine combustion engine vehicles of road transport during the 20th century caused extended damaging side affects. Therefore, the world's scientific potential is working in order for this problem to be confronted. The increase of the vehicles worsens this situation and it is necessary to act immediately against it. The replacement of the internal combustion machine by the electric motor is a matter of time. This dissertation aims to review the overall technological developments which will lead to the design of automobiles with zero emissions. The use of new materials for automobile design, weight reduction, renewable energy sources, regenerative energy from braking are some of the topics that will be discussed. Key technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, electric cars and biofuels are expected to contribute in the long run. Whereas, hybrid cars are considered as the solution for the near future.

description: Recent measurements of neutron elastic and inelastic scattering suggest that the charge states are spatially inhomogeneous at two lengthscales, atomic and nanometer scales, in both the high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) cuprates and colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganites. We suggest that the two-phonon mechanism that controls the charge localization in CMR manganites is also at work in HTSC cuprates, and may hold a key to understanding the mechanism of superconductivity.

description: Angora goat ewes are expected to produce a lot of fleece and reproduce a lot during their lives. The identification of high producing ewes at an early age that will maintain their production levels throughout their lifetime in the flock is thus imperative. From 2000 to 2015, data on early and adult body weight, hair development, and reproduction were collected on the flocks of three South African Angora goat producers to determine the range in production, reproduction, and income of Angora ewes with five or six kidding opportunities in the flock. The relative contributions of hair development and reproduction to these ewes' income were also looked into. There were large differences in hair production, reproduction and income among ewes that had 5 or 6 kidding opportunities. It was clear when compiling lists of the top and bottom performing ewes for the adult productive traits that getting ewes that are top performers in all traits would be difficult. Top-producing ewes in terms of reproduction were not top-producing ewes in terms of fleece quality. The relative sources of income highlighted the negative relationship between reproduction and fleece development. When comparing the relative sources of income between ewes in the top and bottom income categories, it was clear that the main difference in overall yearly income was due to discrepancies in yearly reproduction income. It was further evident that reproduction income contributed more to total income in ewes in the top 25% income category compared to ewes in the bottom 25% category. When comparing the early and adult production and reproduction traits of ewes in the Top 100 Income and Bottom 100 Income lists, ewes in the Top 100 Income list had higher first parity reproduction, as well as lifetime reproduction, higher early body weights (from birth to 16 months of age), lower second shearing fleece weight and higher early fibre diameter than ewes in the Bottom 100 Income list. The negative relationship between adult ewe reproduction and fleece development emphasises the importance of not putting positive selection pressure on early fleece weight at the expense of reproduction. Only young ewes with unacceptably low fleece weights should be culled, and excessive selection pressure on early fibre diameter in ewes should be avoided. Selection for fleece production and fleece traits should rather be addressed through ram selection. Selection of young ewes should therefore be focussed on early body weight and weight of kids weaned at the first parity.

description: Since the launch of the first biofuel policy (Proalcool), in 1975, Brazil has developed a remarkable ethanol fuel industry which is now a major component of the country’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this paper we analyze how biofuel policies have affected the ethanol industry and how this industry has contributed to GHG emission reduction. Our study innovates by considering both Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Land Use Change (LUC) emissions and for covering the period from 1975 to 2022. We found that the use of ethanol fuel allowed significant emission savings for the transportation sector, causing GHG emission reductions of 39–46% compared with gasoline and a total avoided emission greater than 828 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. We identified that market drivers have been more decisive in fostering the ethanol industry, but biofuel policies also have a major influence on the development of the ethanol sector. Due to that, there are concerns about the environmental impact of the new biofuel policy (RenovaBio) as it ignores LUC emissions. To avoid adverse effects, we recommend that biofuel policies should consider all potential adverse impacts of LUC and should also involve strong actions aiming to halt deforestation.

description: More often than not, the emphasis is laid on the essence of employing organic manures for raising plant seedlings and even in improving the nutrient status of their growth media for higher productivity. Afrormosia elata has numerous medicinal uses but not very much available. Thus, the study on the effects of fish pond sediments (FPS) and decomposed cow dung (DCD) on the early growth of A. elata seedlings was carried out at the nursery ‘A’ of the Federal College of Forestry, Ibadan, Nigeria. The maintenance of pond volume and its environment by sediment removal is a helpful practice for profitable fish production. A. elata seeds were sown in a finely perforated sieve (filled with washed river sand) and seedlings were pricked – out 2 weeks after seedling emergence into polythene pots with varying levels of FPS and DCD. The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of nine treatments and eight replicates. Treatments include; T1(2 kg of FPS + 2 kg of topsoil); T2 (2 kg of DCD + 2 kg of topsoil); T3 (1.5 kg of FPS + 2 kg of topsoil); T4 (1.5 kg of DCD + 2 kg of topsoil); T5 (1 kg of FPS + 2 kg of topsoil); T6 (1 kg of DCD + 2 kg of topsoil); T7 (500 g of FPS + 2 kg of topsoil); T8 (500 g of DCD + 2 kg topsoil); and 2 kg of topsoil without any treatment served as control). Morphological parameters such as seedling height, collar diameter and leaf count as well as leaf biomass were assessed and the data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result showed that T3 (1.5 kg FPS + 2 Kg TS) had the best performance in height, leaf area and leaf biomass with mean values of 11.02 cm, 21.65 cm2 and 1.16 g respectively. Though, there were no significant differences amongst the growth parameters assessed for this study. But T3 (1.5 kg FPS + 2 Kg TS) could be employed in raising the seedlings of this plant for faster growth rate.

description: The increasing popularity of online food delivery has provided multiple job opportunities. Although food delivery riders benefit from work flexibility, they face occupational risk and suffer accidents and injuries. This study attempts to provide a new perspective on protective measures for delivery riders by examining the causes of injuries at the individual level. A respondent-driven sampling method was used to control data bias, and a total of 1092 online food delivery riders in Beijing, Shanghai and Jinan participated in the survey. The results indicated that: good personal norms are negatively related to non-fatal occupational injury among riders; perceived risk mediates this relationship; and safety attitudes moderate the relationship. These results may help platform enterprises to voluntarily implement more effective and comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of riders, while also inspiring government when developing labor protection regulation for riders.

description: It is shown that the inflationary paradigm admits quantum complete extensions of space-time. The extended inflationary spacetimes still have geodesic borders, but quantum fields are prohibited from migrating across these borders by their evolution semigroups. The geodesic singularities lurking across the borders lack a physical description because the evolution semigroups give vanishing probabilistic support to quantum fields for populating regions bordering on these singularities. As an example, anisotropic Bianchi type-I cosmologies are shown to be quantum complete preludes to inflation. They admit Kasner-like geometries close to their geodesic borders. Quantum fields enjoy a contractive evolution in these asymptotic regions and ultimately become free. As a consequence, quantum probes cannot migrate across the geodesic border of Bianchi type-I cosmologies.

description: The asymptotic properties of the solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with boost-rotation symmetry and Petrov type D are studied. We find series solutions to the pertinent set of equations which are suitable for a late time descriptions in coordinates which are well adapted for the description of the radiative properties of spacetimes (Bondi coordinates). By calculating the total charge, Bondi and NUT mass and the Newman-Penrose constants of the spacetimes we provide a physical interpretation of the free parameters of the solutions. Additional relevant aspects on the asymptotics and radiative properties of the spacetimes considered, such as the possible polarization states of the gravitational and electromagnetic field, are discussed through the way.

description: The extension of on-board data processing capabilities is an attractive option to reduce telemetry for scientific instruments on deep space missions. The challenges that this presents, however, require a comprehensive software system, which operates on the limited resources a data processing unit in space allows. We implemented such a system for the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) on-board the Solar Orbiter (SO) spacecraft. It ensures autonomous operation to handle long command-response times, easy changing of the processes after new lessons have been learned and meticulous book-keeping of all operations to ensure scientific accuracy. This contribution presents the requirements and main aspects of the software implementation, followed by an example of a task implemented in the software frame, and results from running it on SO/PHI. The presented example shows that the different parts of the software framework work well together, and that the system processes data as we expect. The flexibility of the framework makes it possible to use it as a baseline for future applications with similar needs and limitations as SO/PHI.

description: Ultrafast magnetization dynamics of nickel has been studied for different degrees of electronic excitation, using pump-probe second-harmonic generation with 150 fs/800 nm laser pulses of various fluences. Information about the electronic and magnetic response to laser irradiation is obtained from sums and differences of the SHG intensity for opposite magnetization directions. The classical M(T)-curve can be reproduced for delay times larger than the electron thermalization time of about 280 fs, even when electrons and lattice have not reached thermal equilibrium. Further we show that the transient magnetization reaches its minimum approx. 50 fs before electron thermalization is completed.

description: A few plant species are recognized for uranium bioaccumulation, particularly as upper accumulator. Uranium has a dynamic impact on the physiological, biochemical, and photochemical reactions. Therefore, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT), soluble sugar, protein, photochemical reactions, and accumulation of uranium characteristics were studied in Bidens pilosa L. while applying altered concentrations of uranium in the form of C4H6O6U. It was done to measure the capacity of B. pilosa L. to remediate uranium from wastewater. In this study, the results showed that B. pilosa L. not only has the ability of uranium accumulation but it can accumulate in the upper parts i.e. leaves and stem. Overall it can accumulate as much as 1538 mg/kg on a dry weight basis. Uranium accumulation is a complex process which changes both physiological and biochemical index in plant species under different treatments. SOD decreased in leaves and stem in response to all treatments whereas POD and CAT increased at treatment 3 and 72 h up to 1335 μ/g-FW and 47 μ/g-FW at 72 h, respectively. This increase was followed by a downward trend. The correlation coefficient between fluorescence ratio Fv/Fm and the concentrations of uranium treatment were significantly negative i.e. −0.928. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis also highlighted that uranium does not change the basic chemical composition of B. pilosa L., but has an effect on the contents of chemical constituents. From the study, it is concluded that B. Pilosa L. has shown a capacity for uranium enrichment, especially as an upper accumulator.

description: Large artery, pedal small vein, femoral vein and central venous pressures and extremity volume changes were recorded in mongrel dogs in which the hindlimb was perfused at a constant flow. Arterial, pedal venous and femoral venous blood gases were drawn and analyzed for measurements of arterio-venous O2 and CO2 differences. Paw and thigh resistances were calculated. Measurements were repeated following ligation of the iliac and femoral veins, alpha receptor blockade (dibenzyline), and dilation with Vasodilan. Results indicate that ligation of extremity veins results in an active ·increase in total limb resistance below the ligation, an increase in the rate of capillary filtration, and edema formation in the affected limb, Fluid accumulation appears to be detrimental to the exchange of respiratory gases between blood and tissue. The sympathetic reflex response appears to protect against excessive edema formation.

description: As a result of the increasing labor force participation of mothers, this article questions how twoparent households divide the housework activities of caring, cooking and cleaning. Therefore three types of couples with different labor force participations were formed: Dual-earner couples, couples with additional female income and malebreadwinner couples. The time use for the mentioned activities was examined with a secondary analysis based on the German representative time use surveys of 2012/2013 and 2001/2002. The analysis showed that fulltime mothers spent the lowest amount of time for caring, cooking and cleaning. However, unemployed mothers spent the most time for these activities. Within a decade – from 2001/2002 to 2012/2013 – all mothers have reduced their time spent on household activities. Meanwhile, all parents in 2012/2013 take noticeably more time for child care. Regardless of the mother’s labor force participation, mothers still spent more time for caring, cooking and cleaning, especially on weekdays. Additionally, the everyday housework is divided by gender. Only on weekends, couples with employed mothers shared the care-work almost egalitarian. Zusammenfassung Vor dem Hintergrund der steigenden Erwerbstätigkeit von Müttern geht dieser Beitrag der Frage nach, wie Eltern in Paarbeziehungen die Haushaltsbereiche Betreuung, Beköstigung sowie Wohnungs- und Wäschereinigung untereinander aufteilen. Dazu werden drei Paartypen mit unterschiedlichem Erwerbsumfang gebildet: Zweiverdiener- Paare, Paare mit weiblichem Zuverdienst sowie Paare mit männlichem Familienernährer. Deren Zeitverwendung für die genannten Tätigkeiten wird mithilfe der repräsentativen Zeitverwendungserhebung 2012/2013 und 2001/2002 sekundäranalytisch untersucht. Die Analyse zeigt, dass vollzeiterwerbstätige Mütter täglich am wenigsten Zeit für die drei genannten Arbeitsbereiche im Haushalt aufwenden, nicht erwerbstätige Mütter hingegen am meisten. Innerhalb einer Dekade – von 2001/2002 bis 2012/2013 – haben alle untersuchten Mütter ihre Zeitverwendung für hauswirtschaftliche Tätigkeitsfelder reduziert, zeitgleich nehmen sich Eltern 2012/2013 deutlich mehr Zeit für Betreuungsaufgaben. Unabhängig des Erwerbsumfangs der Mutter ist die Arbeit des Alltags nach wie vor, besonders werktags, weiblich konnotiert und somit geschlechtsdifferenzierend aufgeteilt. Nur am Wochenende zeigt sich in Paaren mit erwerbstätiger Mutter bei der Betreuung eine annährend egalitäre Arbeitsteilung.

description: This study evaluates the effectiveness of incorporating the Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) into the clinical teaching of hepatobiliary surgery for undergraduate medical students. A group of 61 medical undergraduates from the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, undergoing hepatobiliary surgery training, were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (31 students) using ChatGPT-based blended teaching or a control group (30 students) with traditional teaching methods. The evaluation metrics included final exam scores, teaching satisfaction, and teaching effectiveness ratings, analyzed using SPSS 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) with t-tests and χ2 tests. The experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in final exam theoretical scores (86.44 ± 5.59 vs. 77.86 ± 4.16, p < .001) and clinical skills scores (83.84 ± 6.13 vs. 79.12 ± 4.27, p = .001). Additionally, the experimental group reported higher teaching satisfaction (17.23 ± 1.33) and self-evaluation of teaching effectiveness (9.14 ± 0.54) compared to the control group (15.38 ± 1.5 and 8.46 ± 0.70, respectively, p < .001). The integration of ChatGPT into hepatobiliary surgery education significantly enhances theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, and overall satisfaction among medical undergraduates, suggesting a beneficial impact on their educational development.

description: Cadmium (Cd) contamination is one of the most serious global environmental problems, and phytoremediation, which uses Cd-accumulator plants, is potentially one of the sustainable solutions. Pot experiments with natural and Cd-amended soils were conducted to investigate the accumulation of heavy metals in 10 leading cultivars of tobacco in China. The extraction ability and profiles of Cd accumulation among plant organs were also analyzed. The tobacco roots accumulated cobalt, nickel, and Cd, while the leaf highly bioaccumulated Cd and lowly accumulated zinc, selenium and mercury. The transport from the tobacco stem to the leaf plays a critical role in the accumulation of these elements. The ratios of Cd concentration in the leaves at lower, middle and upper positions were comparatively stable. The high Cd-extracting cultivars were “Hongda”, “NC89” and “Zhongyan 100” when grown in normal soils, “CuiBi 1” and “Hongda” in moderately contaminated soils, and “YuYan 87”, “LongJiang 851” and “K326” in severely contaminated soils. Tobacco leaves could accumulate about 80% of the total Cd extracted from the soil by the plant. Considering the Cd-extraction limitations exhibited by leading tobacco cultivars, screening of germplasm resources for high or low levels of Cd-accumulation is still an important target for the future.

description: We investigate the potentialities offered by the study of J/psi exclusive photo-production in ultra-peripheral collisions at a fixed-target experiment using the proton and lead LHC beams (generically denoted as AFTER@LHC) on hydrogen targets and at RHIC in the collider mode. We compare the expected counting rates in both set-ups. Studying Single-Transverse-Spin Asymmetries (A_N) in such a process provides a direct path to the proton Generalised Parton Distribution (GPD) E_g(x,xi,t). We evaluate the expected precision on A_N for realistic conditions with the LHCb detector in pH(pol) and PbH(pol) collisions. We also discuss prospects with polarised deuterium and helium targets in the case of AFTER@LHC.

description: The present paper focuses fathers‘ engagement in couple households with children below age ten, investigating two core domains of activities: (1) routine child care and (2) interactive activities which have frequently been pointed out as „quality time“ being more important for fostering children’s development. Based on the current Time Use Survey 2012/2013, we investigate the amount of time spent for each domain of activities and estimate relevant predictors of time use by means of regression analysis. Data for 665 fathers show that fathers‘ longer working hours in employment reduce their time with children in both domains on weekdays and on weekends, while the number of children and the age of the youngest child only affect their time use for routine child care on weekdays. Mothers’ longer working hours seem to be somewhat compensated by fathers’ higher time investments in child care. The strong positive link between both parents‘ time use in each domain, particularly for interactive child care, points to the high synchronicity in both parents’ time investments for children. Accordingly, fathers‘ time for child care strongly reflects jointly spent family time. Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert das Engagement von Vätern in Paarhaushalten mit unter zehnjährigen Kindern in zwei zentralen Aktivitätsbereichen: (1) der Routinebetreuung der Kinder und (2) interaktiven Aktivitäten, die vielfach als „quality time“ und damit als stärker entwicklungsförderlich für die Kinder herausgestellt wurden. Anhand der aktuellen Zeitverwendungserhebung 2012/2013 werden neben dem zeitlichen Umfang für jeden Aktivitätsbereich auch hierfür relevante Einflussfaktoren anhand von Regressionsanalysen untersucht. Die Befunde für 665 Väter zeigen, dass ein höherer Erwerbsumfang der Väter in beiden Bereichen sowohl wochentags als auch an Wochenenden mit weniger Zeitaufwand für die Kinder einhergeht. Demgegenüber sind die Anzahl der Kinder und das Alter des jüngsten Kindes lediglich für die Routinebetreuung an einem Wochentag relevant. Darüber hinaus scheint ein höherer Erwerbsumfang der Mütter in begrenztem Umfang durch höheres zeitliches Engagement der Väter für ihre Kinder kompensiert zu werden. Der deutliche positive Zusammenhang der Zeitaufwendung beider Eltern im jeweiligen Bereich, insbesondere in interaktiven Aktivitäten, spricht für eine hohe Synchronisierung der zeitlichen Investitionen beider Eltern für ihre Kinder. Demnach reflektieren die Betreuungszeiten der Väter in hohem Maße gemeinsam verbrachte Familienzeit.

description: The behavior of microgels near surfaces and their adsorption is studied by simple scaling theory. Two different types of microgels can be studied, i.e., fractal type microgels and randomly crosslinked polymer chains. In the first case the gel can be described mainly by introducing a spectral dimension. The second type requires more attention and uses the number of crosslinks as parameter. The main result is that soft gels with weakly coupled crosslinks and a low number of crosslinks adsorb much better than hard gels, with many crosslinks. Similar results for fractal gels and branched polymer are presented. Fractal gels with low connectivity adsorb easier than gels with a large connectivity dimension. We discuss also consequences on surface protection by microgels.

description: Delivering fair and reliable summative assessments in medical education assumes examiner decision making is devoid of bias. We investigated whether candidate racial appearances influenced examiner ratings in undergraduate clinical exams. We used an internet-based design. Examiners watched a randomised set of six videos of three different white candidates and three different non-white (Asian, black and Chinese) candidates taking a clinical history at either fail, borderline or pass grades. We compared the median and interquartile range (IQR) of the paired difference between scores for the white and non-white candidates at each performance grade and tested for statistical significance. 160 Examiners participated. At the fail grade, the black and Chinese candidates scored lower than the white candidate, with median paired differences of −2.5 and −1 respectively (both p < 0.001). At the borderline grade, the black and Chinese candidates scored higher than the white candidate, with median paired differences of +2 and +3, respectively (both p < 0.001). At the passing grade, the Asian candidate scored lower than the white candidate (median paired difference −1, p < 0.001). The racial appearance of candidates appeared to influence the scores awarded by examiners, but not in a uniform manner.

description: Four diploid rice lines vis-à-vis their respective tetraploids were analyzed by comparing the variations in the seed protein characteristics. The autotetraploids had higher protein content as compared to their parental lines with the maximum relative increase of 63% in case of tetraploid of the parental line ‘Kuma’. The alkali soluble glutelins were the dominating protein fraction in all the diploids and their tetraploid lines. The proportion of albumin and globulin fractions in the seeds of tetraploids of ‘Pusur’, ‘Kuma’ and ‘Tougou’ decreased and that in the tetraploid of ‘Nourin’ registered an increase. With major polypeptides resolving in the range of MW 110 to 13 kDa, the polypeptide patterns of the total seed protein extracts of diploids and their tetraploids under non-reducing and reducing conditions did not show any qualitative differences. Most of the polypeptides of ‘Nourin’ and ‘Pusur’ tetraploids appeared darker as compared to their respective diploid parents. Densitometric scanning of the SDS-gels exhibited more than 10% increase in the relative concentration of polypeptides of MW 78, 65, 60, 40.5, 38, 36, 29, 25, 21 and 13 kDa in ‘Nourin 4x’, 78, 36, 21 and 13 kDa in ‘Kuma 4x’, 78, 65, 40.5, 38, 36, 25 and 21 kDa in ‘ Pusur 4x’ and 38 and 21in ‘Tougou 4x’. Maximum densitometric increase was noticed for glutelin polypeptides of MW 25 kDa in ‘Nourin 4x’, 21 kDa in ‘Kuma 4x’, 36 kDa in ‘Pusur 4x’ and 38 kDa in ‘Tougou 4x’ as compared to their respective diploid parents.

description: Aim: The study was undertaken to assess the genetic variability and character association in 81 mid-altitude sesame accessions of Ethiopia based on important agronomic traits. Study Design: A 9 x 9 Simple Lattice Design (SLD) with two replications was used. Place and Duration of Study: Melkassa Agricultural Research Centre Ethiopia, during the July-December, 2011 main cropping seasons. Methodology: The data recorded on 14 quantitative traits were analyzed for phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variances, heritability and genetic advance, correlation coefficient, path coefficient analysis, principal component analysis and divergence analysis based on Mahalanobis statistics, using SAS 9.2. Statistical software to evaluate the pattern and extent of variation among 81 mid-altitude genotypes. Results: Analysis of variance revealed significant difference among genotypes for all traits studied. Less than 50% heritability was noted in all traits studied. Moderate heritability coupled with moderate to high genetic advance was recorded for most of yield related traits, indicating that these traits are controlled by both additive and non-additive genes. Characters viz., number of capsules, biomass yield, harvest index and 1000 seed weight showed highly significant positive correlation with seed yield. Maximum positive direct effect on seed yield was exerted by number of capsules, biomass yield, days to maturity and harvest index, showing that these traits can be used for selection to improve the primary trait. Divergence analysis based on Mahalanobis statistics grouped the genotypes into seven different clusters. Genotypes were not grouped in relation to their geographical distribution. Maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster V and VII; hence, genotypes from these two clusters are suggested as parents for hybridization program to achieve promising recombinants. Conclusion: The germplasm lines had sufficient level of genetic variability for seed yield and its components. Clustering was not associated with the geographical distribution instead genotypes were mainly grouped due to their morphological differences. Seed yield, biomass/plant, harvest index and number of capsules contributed highest towards genetic divergence. The use of these traits in sesame improvement program would increase yield.

description: This article explores the determinants of the time use of children aged 10 to 17 for educational activities, focusing in particular on the role of corresponding parental educational activities. Results show significant correlations even when the usual socio-demographic characteristics of children and parents are controlled for. Multivariate analyses differentiate between six activity groups which are separately estimated for children aged 10 to 13 and 14 to 17, respectively. We find specific patterns for parental gender and employment status. Moreover, associations vary between working days and weekend. Strongest mirror correlations are found for media-related activities, both for mothers and fathers. In addition, children’s time use exhibits significant correlations to mothers’ time use with respect to cultural activities and arts, and to fathers’ time use concerning sports and games. Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag erforscht die Zeitverwendung von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von 10 bis 17 Jahren auf bildungsnahe Aktivitäten und beleuchtet dabei insbesondere die Rolle gleichartiger elterlicher Aktivitäten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sogenannte Spiegelkorrelationen der Zeitverwendung auch dann signifikant sind, wenn für die üblichen sozio-demografischen Merkmale der Kinder und der Eltern kontrolliert wird. Die multivariaten Analysen differenzieren zwischen sechs Aktivitätengruppen, die jeweils separat für die Kindesaltersgruppen 10-13 Jahre und 14-17 Jahre geschätzt werden. Bezüglich der einzelnen Aktivitäten finden wir spezifische Muster nach Geschlecht und Erwerbsstatus der Eltern sowie Unterschiede zwischen Werk- und Wochenendtagen. Die stärksten Korrelationen betreffen die Mediennutzung der Väter und Mütter. Für Väter kommen signifikante Assoziationen in den Bereichen Sport und Spiele, für Mütter in den Bereichen Kunst und Kultur hinzu.
