Water status assessment in grapevines using plant electrophysiology

Traditional methods for assessing vine water status, such as the Scholander pressure chamber, are time-consuming, punctual and labour-intensive. The development of alternative methods which are accurate, reliable and can provide real-time information on vine water status is a necessity for farmers all over the world. This study proposes the use of plant electrophysiology as a novel approach for real-time water status assessment in grapevines. We conducted four climate chamber experiments with potted grapevines under different irrigation regimes. Various morphological and physiological assessments were performed in parallel with electrophysiological measurements to correlate classic water status assessment methods with plant electrophysiological signals. Two machine learning approaches based on classification and regression were employed to train the prediction models. Results obtained from both models indicate significant differences in irrigation status between well-watered and water-deficit plants, with the latter showing reduced growth and physiological activity, confirming the water stress status of the plant. While the binary classification model successfully differentiates between well-watered and water-deficit plants, its practical use is limited. Therefore, a regression model was developed to directly predict predawn leaf water potential. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that electrical signals are correlated with vine water potential measurements. The findings presented here thus provide a promising new tool for future real-time and remote monitoring of vine water status to manage irrigation and adapt agronomic strategies. Nevertheless, validation and optimisation of the models are still necessary, particularly under field conditions.

“Everybody Identitiefies with Smokey the Bear”

This article is a study of employee responses to identification inducements in a newsletter at the U.S. Forest Service. A systematic analysis indicates that the Forest Service attempts to induce identification through strategies and tactics embedded in the newsletter. The data revealed four employee responses to the newsletter content. Nonidentification responses do not produce feelings of identification. Textual identification responses manifest feelings of identification, as readers link themselves to the organization through newsletter depictions. Contextual identification requires evoking memories of past organizational participation if the person is to manifest feelings of membership in response to the newsletter. Finally, disidentification responses are associated with feelings of separateness from the organization. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Unusable Pasts: Life-Writing, Literary Nonfiction, and the Case of Demetrios Tsafendas

On September 6, 1966, a parliamentary messenger named Demitrios Tsafendas stabbed to death Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd in full view of South Africa’s all-white House of Assembly. Tsafendas, the apartheid judiciary soon declared, was insane and without political motive: “a meaningless creature” who had acted on instructions from a tapeworm inside him. Often written off as a “freakish footnote” within the liberation story, his unsettled and complex life has nonetheless compelled a wide range of literary and artistic treatments: from memoir and microhistory to avant-garde fiction and filmic montage. Concentrating on Henk Van Woerden’s (auto) biography A Mouthful of Glass (1998, trans. 2000) and Penny Siopis’s short film Obscure White Messenger (2010) hope to explore what valence one can give to avowedly speculative or formally experimental encounters with the archive and to trace how such a “useless life” (in the words of a presiding judge) might disclose the uncanny remains of South African history.

Forecasting the Impact of the Structure of Financing Sources on the Results of Production Activity in Agriculture

The study conducted to assess the impact of the source of financing on the results of production activities of small and medium-sized businesses in agriculture in Kazakhstan is presented in the article. When building the model, the authors used the method of correlation and regression analysis, including calculations of pairwise regression, as well as the method of building statistical equations. Statistical data on the volume of financing of SMEs in agriculture by way of own funds, government resources (concessional lending, subsidies, and leasing), and non-state sources of financing such as borrowed funds from banks, microfinance organizations, credit partnerships, and leasing companies were used as the factors. Firstly, the results of the study showed that such factors as bank lending and leasing financing by private companies do not have a significant impact on production volumes. Secondly, of all the factors analyzed, the greatest impact on gross output was made by financing by microfinance organizations and credit partnerships, which determines and indicates the need for the development of non-state sources of financing. Thirdly, a comprehensive approach combining state financial support as well as available non-state financial resources is needed to achieve the strategic objectives of economic development and ensure the required level of food security.

Household changes and diversity in housing consumption at older ages in Scotland

ABSTRACT This paper contributes to understanding housing adjustments in later life by investigating the role of four key lifecourse transitions experienced by older individuals and their households, namely changes in health, retirement, union transitions and adult children leaving the household. Using data from a representative sample of the Scottish population for the decade 2001–2011, the study examines who moves and, for movers, whether they adjust their housing size in response to changes in their personal and household circumstances. In particular, the study explores diversity in housing consumption at older ages by investigating whether the triggers of upsizing or downsizing differ across tenure groups. The majority of older adults in Scotland do not change their place of residence during the study decade. For the minority who do move, all four lifecourse transitions are significant triggers for residential relocation but there is considerable diversity across the two major tenure groups in the influence of household changes on their housing consumption adjustments. In both tenure groups, however, the presence of children in the household is associated with upsizing and is a significant impediment to downsizing. Given the relative rootedness of older parents with co-resident adult children and their propensity to upsize rather than downsize if they move, our findings raise concerns over the interdependencies between younger and older generations in the housing market.

Patient reported abdominal pain as a surrogate of the clinical benefit of tipifarnib in pancreatic cancer patients.

275 Background: Tumor CXCL12 expression identifies patients who may benefit from tipifarnib therapy. In pancreatic cancer, CXCL12 is known to decrease abdominal pain by inducing the migration of pain suppressing Schwann cells to tumor lesions. Given the association between CXCL12 and pain suppression, we investigated whether the absence of patient reported abdominal pain could be a surrogate of clinical benefit from tipifarnib in pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a randomized placebo-controlled trial comparing gemcitabine plus tipifarnib (GT) versus gemcitabine plus placebo (GP) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. Tipifarnib was given at 200 mg bid orally continuously; gemcitabine at standard dosing. Primary study end point was overall survival. Results: 688 patients were enrolled of whom 155 (22.5%) reported no abdominal pain at study entry, 81 received GT and 74 GP. Baseline characteristics were balanced in the subset of patients with no reported abdominal pain (GT,GP): median age (63,59), female gender (35%,43%), ECOG 0-1 (89%,90%), metastatic disease (64%,70%), 6-month weight loss &gt;10% (48%,39%), 6-month jaundice history (51%,45%), and prior Whipple surgery (16%,13%). Subjects receiving GT who did not report abdominal pain at study entry had higher frequency of locally advanced disease (36% vs 24%) and 6-month jaundice (51% vs 38%), and lower frequency of lung (6% vs 14%) and peritoneum (4% vs 13%) metastases than those reporting pain. No differences in survival were observed in the overall study. Median overall survival for GT was 193 vs 182 days for GP. Notably, absence of abdominal pain at study entry was associated with higher median survival in the GT arm (no pain, pain): 305 vs 176 days, HR=0.52, p&lt;0.0001, whereas no significant effect was observed in the control arm: 184 vs 182 days. A trend for better survival with GT was observed in subset of patients with no abdominal pain at study entry (GT,GP): 305 vs 184 days, p=0.058. Conclusions: Absence of abdominal pain may serve as a surrogate of clinical benefit from tipifarnib in pancreatic cancer. (Van Cutsem et al.

F4‐03‐03: Interpretation of delayed start trial data: Implications for researchers, clinicians, and patients

The previous two presentations have considered efforts to establish disease-modifying drug effects in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease using the delayed-start trial design approach. In both the ADAGIO Parkinson's trial, and the Expedition studies of solanezumab in Alzheimer's disease, follow up of participants after placebo groups began active treatment provided evidence that delayed active therapy did not “catch-up” to early active treatment. In this final presentation, I will consider some of the methodological challenges of delayed-start trials, and will set the stage for a panel discussion by considering the implications of a disease-modification claim for a drug. A delayed-start trial must be significantly longer than a standard efficacy trial; long duration is generally associated with increased attrition, and exacerbates the confounding effect of informative drop-outs. The length of the follow-up period is therefore a critical issue, but a rational decision regarding duration requires assumptions about the possible lag before disease-modifying effects contribute to observed effects. Further assumptions are required to establish the bounds for non-inferiority analyses of the long-term data. Some investigators and clinicians have argued that the magnitude and duration of treatment effect on the primary disease manifestations fully capture the value of a therapy, while establishing disease-modification is unimportant. One argument to the contrary is that patients and clinicians need to understand the value of early versus late initiation of treatment to inform risk-benefit assessments. Further, disease-modification suggests an altered slope of decline, as opposed to an early symptomatic boost followed by a slope of decline similar to that of untreated patients; that is, disease-modification suggests that treatment effects will grow with time (so that patients may expect long-term benefits greater than those demonstrated in trials). The delayed-start design has a conceptual appeal, but there are challenges to its execution. A “disease-modifying” indication might be important, but a successful but simpler trial design that demonstrating efficacy probably makes more sense. These issues may be significant for drug marketing, and may also influence decisions by third-party payers.

Environmental Factors That Affect the Sanitary and Nutritional Variability of Raw Milk in Dual Purpose Livestock Systems of Colombian Orinoquia

Milk is the natural food with the highest biological quality for the human population and its production can be affected by several sanitary factors and management conditions. With the objective of identifying influence factors on milk compositional and sanitary quality in a region with wide productive potential in the Colombian Orinoquia, an experiment was carried out in two contrasting climatic seasons. For the milk compositional analysis, samples of daily production from 30 dual-purpose systems were analyzed. Similarly, the udder sanitary status of 300 cows was studied using the California Mastitis Test (CMT). Data analysis included mixed models, Pearson correlations, frequency tables, and the Kruskal–Wallis test. The results showed that the total daily milk production of the farm and the season influenced the milk compositional quality. The farms with milk productions lower than 100 kg/day presented the highest levels of protein, lactose, solid non-fat (SNF), and density, while in the rainy season, the milk quality was higher compared to the dry season. The CMT test indicated that only 7.6% of the evaluated mammary quarters presented two or more degrees of positivity. There is an opportunity to improve the milk compositional quality by improving the nutritional offer for animals during the year. The low CMT positivity indicates that, in the calf-at-foot milking system, the presence of subclinical mastitis is not a determining variable in milk production.

Genome‐wide identification of <i><scp>EMBRYO</scp>‐<scp>DEFECTIVE</scp></i> (<i><scp>EMB</scp></i>) genes required for growth and development in Arabidopsis

Summary With the emergence of high‐throughput methods in plant biology, the importance of long‐term projects characterized by incremental advances involving multiple laboratories can sometimes be overlooked. Here, I highlight my 40‐year effort to isolate and characterize the most common class of mutants encountered in Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ): those defective in embryo development. I present an updated dataset of 510 EMBRYO ‐ DEFECTIVE ( EMB ) genes identified throughout the Arabidopsis community; include important details on 2200 emb mutants and 241 pigment‐defective embryo ( pde ) mutants analyzed in my laboratory; provide curated datasets with key features and publication links for each EMB gene identified; revisit past estimates of 500–1000 total EMB genes in Arabidopsis; document 83 double mutant combinations reported to disrupt embryo development; emphasize the importance of following established nomenclature guidelines and acknowledging allele history in research publications; and consider how best to extend community‐based curation and screening efforts to approach saturation for this diverse class of mutants in the future. Continued advances in identifying EMB genes and characterizing their loss‐of‐function mutant alleles are needed to understand genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships in Arabidopsis on a broad scale, and to document the contributions of large numbers of essential genes to plant growth and development.

Towards EEG Biomarkers of Emotional Burnout Syndrome: gender related variations in functional connectivity under Resistance stage formation

Introduction The phenomenon of burnout generates the most interest due to relation to complete or partial disengagement of emotions, cognitive impairment, impairment of long-term and working memory. The neurophysiological mechanisms of emotional burnout remain insufficiently studied. Data related to gender specific characteristics of burnout formation are contradictory. Objectives To establish the gender related EEG markers of burnout was our aim. Methods 621 volunteers (443 females) aged 18 to 24 years participated in this study. EEG was registered during the resting state (3 min, closed eyes condition). The interhemispheric and intrahemispheric average coherence across all EEG segments in all frequencies from 0.2-45 Hz was estimated. Psychological testing was performed before the registration of EEG. To determine the level of burnout formation the Boyko`s Syndrome of Emotional Burnout Inventory (SEB) was used. Results The Resistance phase of emotional burnout was formed in 139 women and 42 men. Development of Resistance stage in female includes formation of new intrahemispheric connections predominantly in the left frontal region (alpha1,2,3-subbands) and the midline frontal-central axis (Fz-Cz, alpha1,2 and theta2-subbands). At the same time new intrahemispheric links in men under Resistance stage development are formed mainly in the right frontal region (alpha1,2,3-subbands). Conclusions Connectivity patterns displayed gender-related variations that are associated with the difference in the alterations in the attention focusing, working memory, and emotional processes under burnout formation. Disclosure No significant relationships.

The Predictors and Consequences of Consumers’ Attitude Towards Mobile Shopping Application

Today, mobile phones are no longer devices for one-to-one communication through voice and text messaging services. This phenomenon has increase the awareness to the new dynamic market environment which caused many business entities or companies constantly looking for ways and means of expanding and retaining their market share. Many marketing experts consider that the mobile device is an extremely promising marketing tool to overcome the major challenges of getting time and the attention of consumers. Those aggressive and extrovert companies have gone beyond adding mobile-sites, they create and introduce their own apps to remain competitive in the global market. In its introduction stage, the consumers' response is very positive whereby many people have subscribed the mobile shopping application and the number of consumers that visit the website via mobile application was also very high. But unfortunately, actual purchase and transaction rarely takes place via mobile application in which the number of actual purchase and transaction was very low as compared to sales recorded via the company's official website. Therefore, this research attempts to determine consumers' attitude which include feelings and beliefs towards mobile shopping that have substantial impact on consumers' attitude and also examined the consequences of consumer's intentional behaviour such as using the mobile shopping application to seek information, share information or actually make purchase transaction. Data were collected through online survey and a total of 218 usable respondents were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The findings revealed that mobile application features is the most influential predictor to consumers' attitude meanwhile security and confidentiality is the least influential predictor. It was also found that the main consumers' intentional behavior is to share the information.
