description: An experiment was carried out to study the use of compost and farmyard manure on Zamboo grass production. The forage was cultivated at 3 levels of each of the compost and .organic manure viz. 10, 12, 14 ton/ha in a completely randomized design having three replication in each treatment designated as TO, Ti, T2, and T3 respectively. The unit plot size of each replication was 4 m x 2.5 m. Plant height of the forage was measured every fortnightly. The grass was harvested at the pre flowering stage (60 days after sowing) and its yield and nutrient composition were determined. The results of the study showed that height of the plant significantly (P <0.01) increased with increasing doses of either of the compost or organic manure at each of 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing (DAS). The results also showed that green biomass yields (MT/ha) of Zamboo grass were 22.07, 24.33, 28.33 and 30.17 for the effect of compost and 22.00, 23.67, 26.67 and 29.00 for the effect of farmyard manure. The total DM yield (MT/ha) of the forage for the use of compost at To, T1, T2 and T3 treatments were found 4.64, 5.11, 6.26 and 6.34 and for farmyard manure were found 4.64, 5.21, 5.38 and 6.34 respectively. The proximate analysis showed that the average dry matter content of Zamboo forage at different levels of compost was: 21.1, 22.01, 21.8, and 21.97 in treatments To, Ti T2 and T3 respectively. Crude protein content of the grass at different level of doses were 8.40, 8.60, 9.80 and 9.20 (g/100 g DM) in response to 0, 10, 12 and 14 ton/ha, respectively. The crude fiber content influenced significantly (P<0.01) with higher doses of FYM. Use of compost at the rate of 14 ton/ha gave the highest (34.00%) CF content while the treatment with 14 ton/ha farmyard manure gave the lowest (30.20%)CF content. Highest value (1.41) of ether extract (EE) was found in treatment with 14 ton compost/ha. From the present study it could be concluded that Zamboo grass harvested at 60 days of age through application of 14 ton compost/ha was better for the production of biomass and nutrient content.

description: We present a theoretical calibration of the RR Lyrae period-luminosity (PL) relation in the UBVRIJHK Johnsons-Cousins-Glass system. Our theoretical work is based on calculations of synthetic horizontal branches (HBs) for several different metallicities, fully taking into account evolutionary effects besides the effect of chemical composition. Extensive tabulations of our results are provided, including convenient analytical formulae for the calculation of the coefficients of the period-luminosity relation in the different passbands as a function of HB type. We also provide "average" PL relations in IJHK, for applications in cases where the HB type is not known a priori; as well as a new calibration of the M_V - [M/H] relation. These can be summarized as follows: M_I = +0.471 - 1.132 log P + 0.205 log Z, M_J = -0.141 - 1.773 log P + 0.190 log Z, M_H = -0.551 - 2.313 log P + 0.178 log Z, M_K = -0.597 - 2.353 log P + 0.175 log Z, and M_V = +2.288 + 0.882 log Z + 0.108 (log Z)^2.

description: Effect of dietary tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on the availability of zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) in juvenile redlip mullet were investigated. Fish were fed eight purified diets for 12 weeks in a flowthrough system at 20.5-22.0°C. A 6.45% TCP supplementation to the diet containing 30 mg Zn and 20 mg Mn/kg, did not affect the weight gain of fish, however, decreased the Zn content of vertebrae compared to fish fed the control diet with 30 mg Zn and 20 mg Mn/kg and 0.3% Ca from Ca-lactate. Higher levels of Zn supplementation (60 mg Zn/kg, 120 mg Zn/kg) to the TCP supplemented diets improved the Zn status but decreased the Mn content of vertebrae and whole body. On the other hand, higher levels of Mn supplementation (40 mg and 80 mg/kg) to the TCP supplemented diets increased the Mn content, however, decreased the Zn content in whole body and vertebrae. When higher levels of Zn and Mn were added simultaneously to the TCP supplemented diet, both Zn and Mn contents of whole body and vertebrae were in normal levels. It appears that a balance in dietary Zn and Mn supplements is necessary for juvenile redlip mullet.

Using a wedge-type, cubic-anvil, high-pressure apparatus, single crystals of CoP3 were grown from stoichiometric melts under a pressure of 3.5 GPa. Powder x-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis measurements indicate that the as-grown boules are a single phase of CoP3. The results suggest that CoP3 is a congruent melting compound under high pressure.

An analysis of the written policy and procedures on acquired immune deficiency syndrome of a sample of post-secondary, four-year institutions
Creators: name: DiBacco, Mallie Zidenah Rowe
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined the extent to which written policy and procedures on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) of 137 post-secondary, four-year institutions complied with the American College Health Association's (ACHA) 13 guidelines on AIDS. These guidelines strive to assist officials in higher education in policy making on AIDS. The ACHA serves its membership through various educational programs. Through such activities, member institutions voluntarily shared their AIDS policies with the ACHA, which, while not approving or disapproving any in terms of compliance to its 13 guidelines, permitted the researcher access to all (137) on file at ACHA in August 1990. The policies, coded for anonymity, were examined by the researcher and a tenured university professor and rated according to a compliance continuum that ranged from 4.00 (full compliance) to 0.00 (non-compliance). The mean and mean ranking of the guidelines provided an indication of the priority placement according to institutional compliance. A t test was employed to assess differences in compliance between institutions by source of control (public versus private). The study also examined differences in institutional compliance according to enrollment and state-reported AIDS cases classification. Overall institutional compliance revealed that the sample institutions complied most fully with three guidelines requiring minimal institutional effort and expense: adoption of General/Flexible Policies, adherence to Confidentiality of Information, and creation of an Institutional Committee. Six guidelines necessitating greater institutional attention and commitment through possibly additional personnel expertise, medical services, and specific health and legal measures were found in lesser compliance: Medical Care, Safety Precautions, HIV Antibody Testing, Handicapping Conditions, Admissions, and Harassment. Source of control, enrollment, and state-reported AIDS cases classification appeared to have little correlation to institutional compliance. The study findings seem to warrant the conclusion that the 137 written institutional policy and procedures on AIDS reviewed fall short of meeting the ACHA's expectations outlined by the ACHA Task Force on AIDS' General Statement on Institutional Response to AIDS.

description: Epigenetic changes, histone acetylation and deacetylation in chromatin have been intensively studied due to their significance in regulating the gene expression. According to the type of tumor, the levels of histone deacetylases (HDAC) are varied. HDAC inhibitors are a new promising class of compounds that inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. In this study, the inhibitory efficacy of some HDAC inhibitors such as vorinostat, panobinostat, abexinostat, belinostat, resminostat, dacinostat and pracinostat was studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The inhibitory efficacy was estimated by computing the enzyme’s stability, positional stability of the individual amino acids and interaction energies of HDLP-inhibitor complexes. It is hoped that this investigation may improve our understanding of the atomic-level description of the inhibitor binding site and how the HDAC inhibitors change the environment of the enzyme’s active site. The results obtained from the root-mean-square deviation, the radius of gyration, solvent-accessible surface area, root-mean-square fluctuation, stride server and Ramachandran plot have revealed that the stability of HDLP enzyme with vorinostat, panobinostat and abexinostat is higher than the other studied complexes. According to the calculated values for MM-PBSA, LIE, semi-LIE binding free energies and interaction energies, the stability of the HDLP enzyme varies as panobinostat > abexinostat > vorinostat where resminostat complex showed relatively low stability. The ligandability and drugability values also give the same trend as above. The findings revealed that the panobinostat and abexinostat are potential lead compounds as reference inhibitor vorinostat. Therefore, it is possible to use these drugs as HDAC inhibitors in clinical practices. Also, the outcomes of this study could be utilized to identify new inhibitors for clinical research.

description: Poland is experiencing the first stages of a period where its active labour force will decline steadily over time. This has raised important concerns with how well labour markets in Poland function, especially those in rural areas where there are still large numbers of households on small farms that have only limited engagement with formal work, and whose farm income is too low to provide an acceptable family income. The result is a high level of rural under-employment that imposes a growing burden on the economy and society, both in terms of unproductive labour and in high transfer payments to these families. There is a clear understanding that reducing the number of small full-time family farms in Poland is desirable as a way to: improve household incomes, address the need for more workers in other sectors, and further enhance the competitiveness of farming. Achieving this goal has been problematic, largely because to date there have been few incentives for these farm families to alter their behaviour. Simply put, the vast majority of small farm households do not perceive that they would be better off by engaging in formal employment. This largely reflects limited job opportunities in rural areas and a significant skill mismatch in local labour markets. But, it also reflects the continued existence of a variety of Polish policies that provide considerable financial benefits to these farm households, including a highly subsidized medical and retirement plan and exemption from income taxes, that significantly reduce the incentive to change behaviour. With a shrinking work force the cost of holding these potential workers in their current situation will only increase over time, but changing these longstanding policies remains a major challenge for the government.

description: Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic obligate parasite, ubiquitous around the globe with seropositivity rates that range from 10% to 90% and infection by the parasite of pregnant women causes pre-natal death of the foetus in most cases and severe neurodegenerative syndromes in some. No vaccine is currently available, and since drug-resistance is common among T. gondii strains, discovering lead compounds for drug design using diverse tactics is necessary. In this study, the sole constituent isoform of an enzymatic 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reduction step in an apicoplast-located fatty acid biosynthesis pathway was chosen as a possible drug target. FASII is prokaryotic therefore, targeting it would pose fewer side-effects to human hosts. After a homology 3D modelling of TgFabG, a high-throughput virtual screening of 9867 compounds, the elimination of ligands was carried out by a flexible ligand molecular docking and 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations, with additional DCCM and PC plot analyses. Molecular Dynamics and related post-MD analyses of the top 3 TgFabG binders selected for optimal free binding energies, showed that L2 maintained strong H-bonds with TgFabG and facilitated structural reorientation expected of FabGs, namely an expansion of the Rossmann Fold and a flexible lid capping. The most flexible TgFabG sites were the α7 helix (the flexible lid region) and the β4-α4 and β5-α6 loops. For TgFabG-L2, the movements of these regions toward the active site enabled greater ligand stability. Thus, L2 ("Skimmine"; PubChem ID: 320361), was ultimately selected as the optimal candidate for the discovery of lead compounds for rational drug design. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: This study aims to analyse the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy and its reforms on the development of agricultural structures. In the analysis we measure the development of rural structures using the number of farms as policy target variable. Our analysis aims to reveal the impact of agricultural policy and policy reforms on the development of the defined target variable, given the general economic and structural development. The analysis is conducted as an econometric panel data analysis. Our results show that agricultural policies have, in general, reduced the pace of structural development and kept more farms in the sector compared to a situation without policies. However, the implementation of CAP reforms in 1992, 2000 and 2007 has led to more rapid structural development. Overall, agricultural policies have smoothened the transition of resources from agriculture to other sectors.

description: The dynamic nature of changes in the macroeconomic environment and various views of Member States on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy in the European Union cause that its shape is usually a result of various forces and factors. They are both, exogenous, related to the situation on global markets, economic policy on a global scale and European Union, as well as endogenous, connected to the changes in the agricultural sector and its direct environment. The on going discussion revealed many controversies which will have an impact on the decisions shaping the CAP for the next budget perspective after 2020. The aim of this study is to critically review the evolution of agricultural policy and to identify possible scenarios for its changes in the new budgetary perspective after 2020. Before identifying possible scenarios of the future agricultural policy of the EU, the authors draw attention to some dilemmas such as: predicted increase in global demand for food, limiting production intensity in the EU, rationality of the level and allocation of support, problem of capitalization of subsidies in land prices, conflicting objectives of the CAP, diverse expectations of Member States, and consequences of Brexit for the CAP in the next budgetary perspective. Fundamental reforms of the CAP took place in the 1990s in response to international pressure and the results of GATT and later WTO negotiations. The current reform of the CAP must deal with other types of external forces, such as the crisis of the euro-zone, disintegration movements (Brexit) and integration in the euro-zone, the influx of emigrants, the threat of terrorism, as well as worsening effects of climate change. The authors, based on a literature review and their own reflections, present six possible scenarios for the development of the CAP after 2020. It is very likely that the shape of the future CAP will be the result of a political compromise between Member States, which may indicate that there will be no radical changes in the CAP in the next budgetary perspective. In the long run, agricultural policy will undergo further transformations, forced among others by the likely technological revolution facing the 21st century agriculture, demographic changes in the countryside, climate change or the need to support rural development, taking into account their diversity in the EU countries.
Family adjustment, work involvement and support networks of international wives: A cross-national study
Creators: name: Dussert, Claudine V.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This cross-national study identifies and examines the major social factors that affect family adjustment and labor-force involvement of three groups of American, French and Indian wives--or international wives--who have relocated to Washington D.C. for the purpose of their husband's career. Structural conditions and gender-role ideologies vary by nationality, influencing the distribution of resources and power between husbands and wives. More specifically, these factors affect the wives' level of resources for facilitating family adjustment and for finding employment opportunities in the new locale. International wives used different coping mechanisms based on the types and levels of resources available to them. One of the major changes in resources affecting relocated families, especially foreign families, is the loss of support from friends and family members. In the research population under study, the wives also experienced temporary loss of their husbands, who had often been sent on business trips right after relocation. This study examines and compares cross-nationally the types of support networks--as intangible resources--available to these wives. It focuses on five types of them: informational, instrumental, financial, emergency, and socio-emotional support networks. The study analyzes the effect of these networks on family adjustment and wives' labor-force involvement. Migration frequently limits wives' employment opportunities to a part-time job at low pay or no job at all. While the employment opportunity situation varies for the three groups of wives--American wives being more advantaged than French and particularly Indian wives in this regard--all these highly educated and relatively privileged women remained at a disadvantage in terms of marital resources and power. Because of the demanding work and frequent travels of their husbands, the wives in all three nationality groups tended to accommodate their work or social activity to their families rather than the converse. Whatever their national origin, however, all the wives displayed resiliency and courage in coping with relocation challenges. The women manifested great ingenuity in dealing with emergency situations and generally adjusted successfully to their new life conditions.

description: Lattice imaging facilitates digital implementation of optical darkfield strategies that have for decades played a key role in the conventional electron microscopy of materials. Applications to the microscopy of periodic structures are described in the context of recent developments in the mathematical harmonic analysis community, with hopes of inspiring further development along these lines. Applications here, which push present day limits using sharp-edged Fourier windows alone, include the location of weak periodicities in images by virtue of their spatial correlations, and the quantitative mapping of projected strain in a variety of nanostructures.

description: Haptoglobin related protein (Hpr) is a component of the trypanosome lytic factor (TLF), a complex acting in the innate immune response against African trypanosomes. Like haptoglobin (Hp), Hpr binds hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood, but unlike Hp, Hpr does not bind the CD163 receptor. Moreover, unlike Hp, Hpr retains the N-terminal signal peptide that is required for the association with Apolipoprotein L-1 (ApoL-1), a component of the TLF complex. Here, the molecular model of human Hpr has been built based on the high sequence identity with human Hp (91%). The structural bases of Hpr:Hpr dimerization and Hpr recognition by Hb and Trypanosoma brucei brucei Hp receptor (TbHpHbR) have been analyzed in parallel with those of Hp:Hp, Hp:Hb, and TbHpHbR:Hp:Hb complexes. We show that the Cys33-Cys33 intermolecular disulfide bridge that stabilizes the Hp1:Hp1 complex is replaced by the Phe33, Pro34, and Phe48 hydrophobic core in the Hpr:Hpr dimer. Moreover, we show that the N-terminal peptide of Hpr participates in the stabilization of the Hpr:Hpr dimer.

description: Average incomes in the agricultural sector are still much lower than average wages in non-agricultural sectors in the most of the EU Member States, which is contrary to one of the CAP’s initial objectives of “ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community”. The main aim of this paper is to verify whether EU membership and the use of CAP funds helped reduce relative income gap of farmers. The second aim is to analyse which factors influence this income gap and how. Our study is based on EAA data for EU-27 for the period 1995–2015 and makes use of three panel data regression models estimated for all EU Member States, the “old” ones (EU-15) and the “new” ones (EU-12). Our results show that the social goals of the CAP support have not been achieved in the EU-15; however, they have been achieved under the SAPS in the EU-12.

description: We report on the spin.dependent neutron scattering length on 3He from a microscopic calculation of p-3H, n-3He, and d-2H scattering employing the Argonne v18 nucleon-nucleon potential with and without additional three-nucleon force. The results and that of a comprehensive R-matrix analysis are compared to a recent measurement. The overall agreement for the scattering lengths is quite good. The imaginary parts of the scattering lengths are very sensitive to the inclusion of three-nucleon forces, whereas the real parts are almost insensitive.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease which affects a large number of individuals. Collagenases, which belong to a class of metalloproteases (MMPs), are responsible for the degradation of cartilage manifested in OA. Inhibition of the catalytic domains of these MMPs is one of the important therapeutic strategies proposed for the prevention of OA. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the binding of curcumin and its metabolites with the active sites of collagenases in comparison to standard inhibitors on the basis of our hypothesis that curcumin/metabolites could exhibit an inhibitory effect on MMPs. Here, we report the molecular docking analysis of curcumin and its metabolites with collagenases (MMP-1, MMP-8, MMP-13). Among the molecules tested, curcumin monoglucuronide (CMG) demonstrated the best binding affinity with MMP-13, which is specifically implicated in OA. The CMG–MMP-complexes were further subjected to molecular dynamic simulations to explore the stability of the complexes and to estimate the free binding energies. The results indicated that CMG preferentially bind to MMP-13 in comparison to that of MMP-1 and MMP-8 with binding free energies (ΔGbind) of (−60.55), (−27.02) and (−46.91) kcal/mol, respectively. This is the first study which suggests that curcumin monoglucuronide can be considered as an effective lead compound to prevent the progression of OA. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The paper focuses on comparisons of the size of the labour force between cooperatives and other legal forms of enterprises in agricultural area. Precisely, the purpose of the paper is to analyse differences between cooperatives and other enterprises in the agricultural sector in the context of employment. An empirical analysis is done on the example of Polish agricultural production cooperatives (APC) and other farming entities. The paper brings answers to the following research questions: Do the agricultural cooperatives provide more employment than other farming entities? What was the level of employment in agricultural cooperatives and other farming entities and what will it be? How does the level of employment influence the profitability of agricultural cooperatives and other farming entities? The conclusions are made on the basis of an analysis of the “List of the 300 best agricultural enterprises” prepared by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – the National Research Institute in Poland. The analysis includes the following types of agricultural enterprises: agricultural production cooperatives, government-owned companies, individual farms, private companies and other farming entities. The time range of this research covers the years 2009–2015. The comparisons are made using analysis of variance, extrapolation method and correlation analysis. The main finding is that there are no clear and significant differences between agricultural production cooperatives and other farming entities in terms of the level of employment, its impact on the overall profitability and partially on increase thereof. However, some of the entities are able to create a lot of jobs. Moreover, they can increase the return on sales by increasing the level of employment and maintain the existing jobs even in the time of a crisis.
Neoclassical approach to traditional business insurance - introduction to the theory of agricultural insurance

description: The contemporary agriculture is among the most risky economic activities. In addition to the previously known production, price and market risk, and later also the financial risk, today agricultural producers are increasingly more often confronted with institutional risk and personnel management risk and risk related to climate change. On the other hand, farmers have at their disposal numerous tools and strategies to counteract threats and mitigate their negative effects. Among these risk management instruments and strategies, traditional/ conventional insurance of crops, livestock and tangible assets is still important. In this context, the basic goal of the article is to generalise the theoretical foundations of the above-mentioned insurance, but limited to their historically oldest approach; hence on the basis of neoclassical microeconomics and classical decision theory. According to the convention existing, the essence of the theory/hypothesis of the expected utility of von Neumann–Morgenstern is first analysed. In the last part of the article, the assumptions of the expected utility theory are concretised on the example of agricultural insurance.

description: The aim of the study is to describe the role of Local Action Groups (LAGs) under the Leader Programme in fostering entrepreneurship and employment in Lubelskie voivodeship. The hypothesis underpinning the study suggested that LAGs operating in rural areas of the Lublin region contribute insufficiently to job creation and provision of entrepreneurial incentives and play insufficient role in enhancing multifunctionality of rural areas. The study was based on document analysis and diagnostic surveys, including an interview questionnaire addressed to representatives of the offices of all 22 LAGs from the studied region. The results revealed that few projects were aimed at the development of non-agricultural functions in rural areas, and demonstrated insufficient involvement of LAGs in the implementation of projects in the bioeconomy sector, which is the key smart specialization of the region. In conclusion the authors assess the overall role of LAGs in creating jobs as marginal and call for paying more attention to the postulates of diversification assumptions resulting from the strategic development documents drafted for the region, including the Regional Innovation Strategy.

description: Little String Theory (LST) is a still somewhat mysterious theory that describes the dynamics near a certain class of time-like singularities in string theory. In this paper we discuss the topological version of LST, which describes topological strings near these singularities. For 5+1 dimensional LSTs with sixteen supercharges, the topological version may be described holographically in terms of the N=4 topological string (or the N=2 string) on the transverse part of the near-horizon geometry of NS5-branes. We show that this topological string can be used to efficiently compute the half-BPS F^4 terms in the low-energy effective action of the LST. Using the strong-weak coupling string duality relating type IIA strings on K3 and heterotic strings on T^4, the same terms may also be computed in the heterotic string near a point of enhanced gauge symmetry. We study the F^4 terms in the heterotic string and in the LST, and show that they have the same structure, and that they agree in the cases for which we compute both of them. We also clarify some additional issues, such as the definition and role of normalizable modes in holographic linear dilaton backgrounds, the precise identifications of vertex operators in these backgrounds with states and operators in the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory that arises in the low energy limit of LST, and the normalization of two-point functions.

description: This cross-national study identifies and examines the major social factors that affect family adjustment and labor-force involvement of three groups of American, French and Indian wives--or international wives--who have relocated to Washington D.C. for the purpose of their husband's career. Structural conditions and gender-role ideologies vary by nationality, influencing the distribution of resources and power between husbands and wives. More specifically, these factors affect the wives' level of resources for facilitating family adjustment and for finding employment opportunities in the new locale. International wives used different coping mechanisms based on the types and levels of resources available to them. One of the major changes in resources affecting relocated families, especially foreign families, is the loss of support from friends and family members. In the research population under study, the wives also experienced temporary loss of their husbands, who had often been sent on business trips right after relocation. This study examines and compares cross-nationally the types of support networks--as intangible resources--available to these wives. It focuses on five types of them: informational, instrumental, financial, emergency, and socio-emotional support networks. The study analyzes the effect of these networks on family adjustment and wives' labor-force involvement. Migration frequently limits wives' employment opportunities to a part-time job at low pay or no job at all. While the employment opportunity situation varies for the three groups of wives--American wives being more advantaged than French and particularly Indian wives in this regard--all these highly educated and relatively privileged women remained at a disadvantage in terms of marital resources and power. Because of the demanding work and frequent travels of their husbands, the wives in all three nationality groups tended to accommodate their work or social activity to their families rather than the converse. Whatever their national origin, however, all the wives displayed resiliency and courage in coping with relocation challenges. The women manifested great ingenuity in dealing with emergency situations and generally adjusted successfully to their new life conditions.
