Nicholls, Mark. "Treason's Reward: the punishment of conspirators in the Bye plot of 1603." Historical Journal 38, no. 4 (December 1995): 821–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0018246x00020471.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe so-called Bye plot of 1603 is one of the best documented in that procession of treasons which confronted late-Elizabethan and early-Jacobean governments. For more than a century, it has also been almost entirely neglected by historians. Through an examination of the cases made against seven suspects – William Clark, George Brooke, Sir Griffin Markham, Anthony Copley, Bartholomew Brookesby, Sir Edward Parham, and John Scudamore – the methods by which the state acquired and deployed evidence in advancing the prosecution are here detailed and analysed. Comparison of each man's fate also reveals how, although the crime of high treason carried but one penalty, the punishments handed down, ranging as they did from execution to discharge before trial, reflected both the prisoners' own conduct and the current political imperatives in a year of dynastic change.

Full textAbstract:
The stories of K. Sergienko’s books make up the wanderings of heroes, as a rule, storytellers and participants in the events of personal and national history. In stories for teenagers, the ad-ventures of the heroes have the character of their initiation: “Kees Admiral Tulipovˮ (“Кеес Адмирал Тюльпановˮ), “Take us away, Pegasus!ˮ (“Увези нас, Пегас!ˮ), “Notebook bound in moroccoˮ (“Тетрадь в сафьяновом перплётеˮ). Or they correspond to the genetically related story about the prodigal son (“House on the Hillˮ – “Дом на гореˮ). In both cases, the characters' freedom of movement is largely motivated by their orphanhood. Most often, the main characters, young and old, travel incognito. This motive is introduced in the first sto-ry and becomes one of the plot-forming ones. An obligatory component of almost all books is the mystery of the female character. There are several secrets in “Borodino Awakeningˮ (“Бородинское пробуждениеˮ): for the main character – the secret of Berestov; he himself, who became Berestov in the events on the eve and during Borodin and does not call himself in the present tense; Natasha's secret; hoax Leppich. The unnamed hero of “The White Rondelˮ (“Белый рондельˮ) wanders incognito. In the same row, and the secret of the origin of Nastya, and remained a secret for her (“Notebook...ˮ). “Mysteriousˮ heroines in “House on the Hillˮ. The prehistory of the appearance of the Proud in the ravine (“Good-bye, ravineˮ) remains unknown to the reader. In some stories, the secret of the place is associated with the secret of the hero. Heroes travel with companions – Kees and Red Fox, Pochivalov and Osorgin, Berestov and Listov, Mike and Morris, Mr. Writer and Mr. Kitten, etc. The complex of obligatory motives in the historical prose of Sergienko, indicated in “Kees...ˮ, includes the motive of the hero's responsibility for the fate of the country (“Borodino Awakeningˮ, “Xeniaˮ (“Ксенияˮ), etc). This motive is associated with the motive of the he-roes’ dreams of the promised land, the ideal city and the motive of sacrifice. The tulip in the first story, not yet known to the Dutch, will turn into a flower with its miracu-lous properties in a number of works. The flower-bouquet motif is especially significant in the “House on the Hillˮ. In the same story, another motive of Sergienko’s prose comes to the fore – the star motive. Some of the peripheral motives become leading in individual books (the motives of the crimson beret, Holland, Mozart and Salieri, etc.). Homelessness, the instability of the heroes existence gives them the opportunity for self-realization, the chronicle of events – grows into a biography, and then into autobiography. Most of Sergienko’s works are based on the plots of a roguish, chivalrous novel and a novel of education, complicated by other plots. The story “Porcelain Headˮ (“Фарфоровая го- ловаˮ) testifies to the writer’s search for new ways in plot construction, caused by the rethinking of the romantic position of fighting against chaotic reality and rising above it.

The purpose of this study is an analysis of <Good bye Day 420>, <We are always the first>, <Uglak Daglak>, and <Cheong-yeon> aired on Now Jeju TV. Now Jeju TV is a subsidiary broadcasting station of JIBS, which is broadcast nationwide and provides various tourism information about Jeju Island for the ‘land people’ of Korea. JIBS produces dramas or through outsourcing companies with sponsors in Jeju Island, and presents them through Now Jeju TV’s web platform and television broadcasts. As the purpose of establishing Now Jeju TV is to promote Jeju, The dramas that are aired also serve as a function of promoting Jeju. Now Jeju TV's dramas are unique in that they are a combination of tourism promotion and drama, and are rare in that they are self-produced dramas by local broadcasting stations. The characteristics of Now Jeju TV dramas according to the analysis are as follows. First, it is a sense of difference that occurs when a web drama is edited into a TV drama version. The technique of omission and coincidence that gives speed to the narrative in the web drama version appears as a lack of probability in the TV drama version. On the other hand, if the plot is formed in an omnibus format or If a plot is constructed with an emphasis on probability in web dramas, TV dramaticization of web dramas is naturally formed. Second, the protagonists are all ‘land person’, every text shows the beautiful landscape of Jeju following their eyes. However, Since specific tourist attractions are not emphasized, they are not enough as tourism promotional materials. While land people's stories are considered as important, the language or culture of Jeju is marginalized or removed. Third, every text has PPL scene of sponsors. In Now Jeju TV, PPL is arranged to suit the progress of the plot. This is because the sponsor is determined from the planning process, so the drama is produced with PPL in mind from the beginning.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary American poetess of confessional orientation, Sylvia Plath, was often in her career torn between the rational role-models and creative inspiration. This tension is most evident in Plath's metaphors, in which her desire for control and understanding is confronted to the limitations of language to signify the unspoken. The paper aims at presenting symbolic (psychological, religious) semantics of bees in the author's literary oeuvre. The bees are an appropriate, uncrystallized medium; like language, they resist comparison through their transformative power. The bee becomes a personal emblem of the poetess; it represents the culmination and reconciliation of the classical and rational influences in her poetics. The cyclical nature of the bee poems follows the pattern of symbolic death and rebirth-signifying a regeneration-the spring of a new life. Although the spring will inevitably lead one more time to winter and death, the bee as a medium has a liberating quality for the poetess, signifying vitality and authenticity that remain the ultimate values of her art.

Full textAbstract:
In Cote d’Ivoire, beekeeping takes an important place among the major economic activities. It contributes to improve the population livelihoods thanks to its derived products which are honey, propolis, wax and royal jelly. However, the installation of honey bee hives could put pressure on wild bee species which are live often alone (solitary bees). However, these wild bees are excellent pollinators of cultivated and wild plants. Our study aimed to assess the effect of honey bee hives on the diversity of wild bee. The methodology approach consisted to capture bees in three different plots within the forest fragment of the university Peleforo Gon Coulibaly. The first plot was located near the apiary containing ten hives. The two other plots, far to the apiary, were located to 200 m and 400 m from the first plot, respectively. Bees were captured once a month for three months using pan traps (UV - blue, yellow and white). A total of 17 bee species belonging to three families (Apidae, Megachilidae and Halictidae) were identified. The furthest plot from the apiary was the most diverse (H’ = 2.49) and that near the apiary was the least diverse (H’ = 0.11). Only, two wild bee species, Hypotrigona sp and Thrinchostoma petersi, persisted inside the plot near the apiary where honey bee was most abundant. The furthest plots from the apiary seems to have the highest diversity of wild bees. These findings are very relevant because they can play an essential role in the policies of wild bee communities’ conservation and in the beekeeping activities management in our regions.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of BFE-55, a derivative of befunolol (a β-adrenergic partial agonist) on specific [3H]befunolol binding to a microsomal fraction from the guinea pig taenia caecum was tested. A Scatchard plot of specific [3H]befunolol binding in the absence of BFE-55 was concave, suggesting an existence of high and low affinity sites in β-adrenoceptors. In contrast, the Scatchard plot of data in the presence of BFE-55 (3 × 10−7 M) was straight. In the presence of BFE-55, the high affinity sites disappeared and the low affinity site was unaffected. In the absence and presence of BFE-55 there was no difference between the pKD values or Bmax values at the low affinity site. These findings indicate that BFE-55 interacts with only the high affinity sites in β-adrenoceptors.

Full textAbstract:
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are important pollinators of triploid watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai]. Pistillate (or female) watermelon flowers require multiple honey bee or other wild bee visitations after visiting staminate (or male) flowers for fruit set, and pollination is even more of a concern in triploid watermelon production since staminate flowers contain mostly nonviable pollen. Six honey bee visitation treatments—1) no visitation control, 2) two visits, 3) four visits, 4) eight visits, 5) 16 visits, and 6) open-pollinated control—were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of honey bee pollination on `Millionaire' triploid watermelon fruit set, yield, and quality utilizing `Crimson Sweet' at a 33% pollenizer frequency. `Millionaire' quality characters (hollow heart disorder or percent soluble solids) did not differ (P > 0.05) between honey bee pollination treatments. The open-pollinated control provided the highest fruit set rate (80%) and the greatest triploid watermelon numbers and weights per plot compared to all other honey bee visitation treatments. Fruit set, and fruit numbers and weights per plot increased linearly as number of honey bee visits to pistillate flowers increased from 0 (no visit control) to the open-pollinated control (about 24 visits). This study indicated that between 16 and 24 honey bee visits are required to achieve maximum triploid watermelon fruit set and yields at a 33% pollenizer frequency, which is twice the number of honey bee visits required by seeded watermelons to achieve similar results. This is probably due to many honey bees visiting staminate triploid watermelon flowers (that are in close proximity) before visiting pistillate flowers thus providing mostly nonviable pollen that is useless for fruit set and development. Therefore, more honey bee visits to pistillate triploid watermelon flowers would be required to achieve maximum fruit set and subsequent development compared to seeded watermelons.

One of the first Lithuanian composers to work in the genre of ballet was Jurgis Karnavičius (1884–1941). In 1928 he introduced a choreographic scene based on his tone poem The Lithuanian Rhapsody, that engaged interest in the genre of ballet among Lithuanian composers. Afterwords Karnavičius composed four full-length ballets that were offered to a variety of European theatres. Unfortunately, due to the events of World War II, there had not been any production of the ballet organized. Fortunately, the musical material of the ballet was preserved, including The Imposter (1940). The libretto written by Elena Pavlovna France is based on historical events in Russian history of the first decade of the 17th century — the beginning of the Time of Troubles. The main characters of the ballet are the future tsar-imposter False Dmitry I and Marina Mniszech, whose fates are tied to both Russian, Polish and Lithuanian history. The ballet was influenced by the works of great Russian composers, such as Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky and A Life for the Tsar by Mikhail Glinka, most specifically, their “Polish acts.” At the same time, The Imposter added new plot motives that allow us to see the uprising of False Dmitry from a different perspective. Karnavičius’ ballet continues to be preserved in the Lithuanian Archive of Literature and Music up to the present day. The hope remains that these materials shall not only be published, but also performed.

A field survey was conducted in Ngel-Nyaki Forest Reserve to assess the diversity of bees within the Reserve. Two methods of sampling techniques were used to sample bee species, opportunistic sampling and systematic sweep netting. Opportunistic sampling method was applied by sweep netting bees along 100 m plot where flowering plants were blooming. Collection was conducted by a single collector using an active search by walking randomly around the plot observing flowering plants and searching for bees foraging on the flowers then a sweep net was used for capturing bees. Sweep netting was conducted, line transect established within the plots for two hours, from 6:00am to 11:00am spending 20 minutes in each plot considering when the weather is conducive for bees’ activity. This was done using entomological sweep net. Bees captured were killed in a killing bottle containing 70% ethanol. Specimens were pinned on a board and unique codes were assigned to each species before identification. Bees were identified to species level by using published systematic keys, Bees field guide and use of online materials. All data were computed using Microsoft® Excel® 2016 and percentage abundance composition of bees were calculated.575 bees spreading across 3 families and 12 species were sampled. The most abundant species was the honey bee (Apismellifera) (245; 42.53%),followed by memic bee (Megachile sp.)(89;15.45%),and the least was leafcutter bee(Osmiasp.) (2;0.35%). In terms of diversity by species, Shannon Diversity Index (H) and Shannon Equitability Index (EH) were 1.694893 and 0.736083respectively while diversity by plots using Shannon Diversity Index (H) and Shannon Equitability Index (EH) were 1.750688 and 0.977078 respectively. This study therefore, brings to the fore the diversity of bees within Ngel-Nyaki Forest Reserve and underline the need for sustainable actions to be taken to conserve beneficial rare species while managing the abundant ones.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of NeemAzalTM formulations: NeemAzalTM T/S (1% azadirachtin) and NeemAzalTM granules (1% azadirachtin) on honeybees, <i>Apis mellifera</i> L., were studied under semi-field conditions. Three plots at 15 m<sup>2</sup> each were sown with spring rape seeds Brassica napus cultivar Likolly (Brassicaceae/Cruciferae). In the first plot NeemAzal granules were added with the seeds during sowing. The second plot was sprayed with NeemAzal T/S during full flowering; GreemaxTM was used as a wetting agent. The third one was sprayed with water only during full flowering as a control. For each treatment one tunnel tent (3 × 5 × 2 m) was used during the flowering period. Small bee colonies were exposed to the treated plants for 7 days. Evaluation was carried out by comparing the results in the treatments to the control and, furthermore, by comparing the pre- and post-application. The mortality in the tunnels and the flight activity were checked before, as well as after the treatment. The development of the bee brood was evaluated by using transparent acetate sheets to mark single cells in brood combs with their contents on different assessment dates. The time schedule of the assessment dates was chosen in order to check the bee brood at different expected stages during the development. The development of the bee brood was evaluated by calculation of brood termination rates in percentage and brood indices. The results show that residues of NeemAzal granules did not adversely affect bee mortality, foraging activity or brood development. By contrast, it was noticed that NeemAzal T/S caused some reduction in foraging activity and brood development.

Three ternary mixtures composed by choline chloride (ChCl), ethylene glycol (EG), and a second hydrogen bond donor (HBD) as ethanol (A), 2-propanol (B), and glycerol (C) were studied in terms of composition related to the band gap energy (BGE). A Design of Experiments (DoE) approach, and in particular a Simple Lattice three-components design, was employed for determining the variation of the BGE upon the composition of each system. UV-VIS analysis and subsequent Tauc plot methodology provided the data requested from the DoE, and multivariate statistical analysis revealed a drop of the BGE in correspondence to specific binary compositions for systems A and B. In particular, a BGE of 3.85 eV was registered for the mixtures ChCl/EtOH (1:1) and ChCl/2-propanol (1:1), which represents one of the lowest values ever observed for these systems.

Abstract Honey bees are one of the Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) that are cultivated by members of KTH Bunga Mekar. Honey bee food sources affect the number of colonies and honey bee productivity. Bees feed supply in the form of nectar and pollen as a source of carbohydrates and protein. This study aims to identify the diversity of honey bee forage plants. Vegetation analysis of honey bee forage plants was carried out by determining 10 observation plots using the purposive sampling method. The results of the research on seedlings obtained 8 species with a total of 23 individuals, saplings obtained 7 species with a total of 26 individuals, 7 species with a total of 34 individuals, and trees obtained 11 types of vegetation with a total of 41 individuals. Agricultural crops obtained as many as 14 types of plants with a total of 220 points of land with a radius of 1.5 km. For plant species outside the observation plot, 26 types of vegetation were found as a source of bee forage plants.

Full textAbstract:
Plant–bee visitor communities are complex networks. While studies show that deleting nodes alters network topology, predicting these changes in the field remains difficult. Here, a simple trait-based approach is tested for predicting bee community composition following disturbance. I selected six fields with mixed cover of flower species with shallow (open) and deep (tube) nectar access, and removed all flowers or flower heads of species of each trait in different plots paired with controls, then observed bee foraging and composition. I compared the bee community in each manipulated plot with bees on the same flower species in control plots. The bee morphospecies composition in manipulations with only tube flowers remaining was the same as that in the control plots, while the bee morphospecies on only open flowers were dissimilar from those in control plots. However, the proportion of short- and long-tongued bees on focal flowers did not differ between control and manipulated plots for either manipulation. So, bees within some functional groups are more strongly linked to their floral trait partners than others. And, it may be more fruitful to describe expected bee community compositions in terms of relative proportions of relevant ecological traits than species, particularly in species-diverse communities.

In this paper tweets available on social media about USD/INR exchange rate, BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty have been collected and Sentiment Analysis using R programming has been performed. A sentiment score has been obtained for each of the sentences and also word cloud plot have been obtained. In this paper twitter feeds are collected using the keywords: USD/INR, #USD/INR, #BSE, #Sensex, #NSE. For the purpose of obtaining the tweets, R programming is used. In this study to obtain the word cloud plot, the sentiment has been classified across 8 categories viz Anticipation, anger, trust, surprise, sadness, joy, fear and disgust. On a day to day basis, Sentiment Analysis gives the overall sentiment on a given day stating if the sentiment for a given day is either Positive or Negative or whether it is Neutral. It also breaks down the tweets into various categories which help in identifying the moods of the investors not only by the sentiment but also by the number of tweets. Further, the word cloud plot offers a simple and effective way of capturing the key events or news which was discussed on Twitter. Sentiment analysis can be used effectively by investors to make a prediction of what direction the stock price movements will happen based on the sentiment prevailing in the market. This study also shows how R programming can be used to perform sentiment analysis on the stock price movement based on twitter feeds. Word cloud can be used to visualize text data in which the size of each word cloud denotes its significance.

Abstract: With the extreme advancement in the Foreign Direct Speculation (FDI) system during past years, Indian capital market has had the option to pull in unfamiliar speculators impressively. There has been critical upsurge in the unfamiliar direct interest in India. With this, India has arisen as quite possibly the most preferred objective for interest on the planet. Since the turn of events and the unpredictability of the Indian financial exchange has been generously affected by the inflow of FDI. Consequently, the current paper Endeavor to dissect the effect of FDI inflows on the development of BSE (Bombay Stock Trade) SENSEX and NSE (National stock trade) CNX Nifty during the time frame under investigation. The examination is basically founded on ten long time optional information for the time frame from April 2006 to March 2016.

Os efeitos de queimadas induzidas sobre a comunidade de abelhas Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) foram avaliados em floresta de transição entre o Cerrado e a Floresta Amazônica, no leste do Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil. A riqueza, abundância e a composição de Euglossini foram determinadas em uma área controle não queimada (preservada), uma área queimada anualmente desde 2004 (degradação intermediária) e uma área queimada trienalmente desde 2004 (degradação elevada). Testamos a hipótese de que áreas com diferentes frequências de queimadas apresentam menor abundância de machos, menor riqueza e diferente composição de espécies de Euglossini em relação à área controle. As técnicas de coleta ativa e passiva de abelhas foram aplicadas usando seis substâncias puras para atração dos machos: β-ionona, benzoato de benzila, geraniol, fenil-etil-acetato, salicilato de metila e vanilina. Sete espécies foram catalogadas e não houve diferença nas abundâncias entre as três áreas amostradas (F (2, 12) = 0,150; p= 0,8). A riqueza estimada de espécies na área controle foi superior à área com fogo trienal (12 ± 3,8; 4 ± 2, respectivamente), enquanto a área com fogo anual apresentou riqueza intermediária (8 ± 4,35) e superior àquela da área com fogo trienal. A análise de UPGMA revelou diferença significativa quanto a composição de espécies da área de fogo trienal para as outras duas áreas. As queimadas anual e trienal reduziram a riqueza de espécies e alteraram a composição de espécies, com efeitos mais evidentes na área com fogo trienal, causando efeitos deletérios sobre a comunidade das abelhas das orquídeas.
The effect of Fire on the Community of Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a Cerrado-Amazon Transitional Forest (Mato Grosso, Brazil)
Abstract. We evaluated the effects of induced burned on Euglossini bee assemblages (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a transitional area between Cerrado and Amazonia, eastern Mato Grosso, Brazil. We determinate abundances, richness and composition of Euglossini in three plots: control plot (unburned), plot burned each year since 2004 (intermediate degradation), plot burned each three years since 2004 (high degradation). We tested the hypothesis that two burned plots present lower male abundances, less species richness and different species composition in comparison with the control plot. We collected male bees actively and passively by using six pure fragrances: β-ionona, benzoato de benzila, geraniol, fenil-etil-acetato, salicilato de metila e vanilina. We collected seven species with no differences in male abundances among three plots (F (2, 12)= 0.150; p= 0.8). Estimated richness species in control the plot was higher than the plot burned each three years (12 ± 3.8; 4± 2, respectively), while plot burned each year showed intermediate richness (8 ± 4.35) and higher than plot burned each three years. Cluster Analysis (UPGMA) revealed significant differences in species composition of the triennial fire area to the other two areas. Our results suggest that fire occurring with different frequencies in transitional forest promote decreases in richness of species and modifications in species composition. These modifications were clearer in plot more degraded (burned each three years) and induce deleterious effects on orchid bee assemblage.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the narrative structure and arrangement of elements in Yoko Tawada's novel, "The Emissary," authored by a contemporary Japanese-German writer. The novel delves into a dystopian future, albeit with a distinct emphasis on exploring the human experiences within this setting rather than solely dwelling on its dystopian aspects. Through the portrayal of a select group of characters, the novel adeptly captures the essence of humanity amidst the impending apocalypse. Tawada's work serves as a contemplative piece that contemplates the themes of mortality and hope within an uncertain future, skillfully intertwining humor and darkness to create a unique literary experience.

Full textAbstract:
To study the influence of thiamethoxam exposure on colony strength and pathogen prevalence, an apiary (5 colonies) was placed in front of a plot sown with winter oilseed rape (wOSR), just before the flowering phase. Before sowing, the seeds were treated with an equivalent application of 18 g thiamethoxam/ha. For comparison, a second apiary (5 colonies) was located in front of a separate 750 m plot sown with untreated wOSR. Dead foragers at the entrance of hives were assessed every 2–3 days throughout the exposure period, while the colony strength (number of combs covered with adult honey bees and brood) and pathogens were monitored each month until the following spring. Foraging on the wOSR crop was confirmed by melissopalynology determination of the corbicular pollen collected periodically, while the chemical analysis showed that exposure to thiamethoxam was mainly through nectar. There was an increase in the accumulation of dead bees in the apiary exposed to thiamethoxam relating with the control, which was coped with an increment of bee brood surface and adult bee population. However, we did not find statistically significant differences between apiaries (α = 0.05) in terms of the evolution of pathogens. We discuss these results under hormesis perspective.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantics of trees in an anecdotal fairy tale. The research material was Russian and Belarusian fairy tales. The article uses the technique of frame analysis of the fairy tale motif and plot, proposed by S.Yu. Neklyudov. The fairy tale type 1877* is a frame consisting of six slots: wandering in the forest, moving to a tree, imprisonment in a hollow, lumberjacks, contact with lumberjacks, liberation. The semantics of the fairy tale is closely related to the mythology of trees. The hero’s stay in the tree is interpreted as a temporary death. This determines the objective world of the fairy tale, within which trees acquire such household allomorphs as a barrel, a chest, a beehive, a trough, and the hero is compared with a bee.

Abstract In the Golyófogó Valley near Albertirsa natural erosion created near vertical walls in the loess deposited in the last glacial period, offering natural nesting sites for the European Bee-eater. Later the deeply cut coach roads, the pits of loess extraction and the construction works of the motorway nearby created further man-made banks. Hence by the 1970-ies a well-established colony bred here, but by the beginning of the 21st century, disturbance and the demise of vertical banks led to a serious reduction in the number of breeding pairs. The purchase of 5-hectare loess grassland plot and the adjacent loess bank, and later its reconstruction led to an unprecedented growth in the number of Bee-eaters. From 2010 the number of breeding pairs exceeded 200 every year. Not only the Bee-eater colony, but also the natural vegetation and the botanical values of the area are managed to maintain the population of rare and protected element of the local flora and fauna.

Full textAbstract:
Oil is considered an essential factor of any economy. This paper examines the time-varying correlation between oil price return, BSE SENSEX, and 14 sectoral indexes in India using multiscale wavelet decomposition and wavelet coherence analysis. The maximal wavelet discrete wavelet transform analysis shows a feedback relationship between 13 sectors at higher time horizons (dC4, dC5, and dC6). Based on the wavelet coherence plot, the oil price and sectoral index return show a high co-movement at 32 to 128 weeks. The wavelet coherence plot shows that the oil price and sectoral index return show a high co-movement during the period of Mar-May 2020 (especially during the period of financial crisis widely spread due to the COVID19 pandemic and nationwide lockdown notification announced by the Government of India). We discuss the implications of these studies in detail.

Full textAbstract:
The breakage index equation (BIE), or t10 model from drop weight testing (DWT) data for rocks and ores is used in the design of crushers and mills. Such models are becoming increasingly difficult to visualize as the number of variables increases. The so-called double fan BIE, combined with the Swebrec distribution’s accurate description of the sieving curves, is applied to the modelling of drop-weight test fragmentation. The key parameters are geometric properties visible in the fan plot; slopes of straight lines and their point of convergence. The ability of the double fan BIE to reproduce DWT data had been previously established for 8 rocks with 480 DWT data sets. Here the fidelity of the double fan BIE is further evaluated for 18 new materials, based on 281 data sets. The fidelity of the double fan BIE with three fan lines is on par with the fidelity of the current state-of-the-art models for the new materials. Besides the breakage index equation, the new double fan BIE’s t10 equation produces, without additional parameters or fitted constants, the general breakage surface equation tn for an arbitrary n value as a bonus. The specific sieving curve for any combination of particle size and impact energy is also contained in the same formula. The result is an accurate, compact and transparent model.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the most feasible methods of screening for early stages of breast cancer. However, the practice rate is insufficient in many low and middle-income countries including Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of BSE practice among female university students in Ethiopia. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for studies that assessed BSE practice among female students in Ethiopian universities. The study included articles published from January 1st, 2010 to June 16th, 2020. The Cochran’s Q chi-square and the respective I2 test statistics were used to check heterogeneity among the included studies. To assess publication biases, the funnel plot and Egger’s regression tests were employed. Subgroup analysis was done by using different characteristics of studies. Sensitivity analysis was also run to assess the effect of a single study on the pooled outcome. STATA™ Version 14 software packages were employed for data analysis. Results: Sixteen (n = 16) studies with 5,743 participants were included to estimate the pooled prevalence of BSE practice. The prevalence of regular BSE practice reported in the studies ranges from 0% to 26.4%. The estimated pooled prevalence of regular BSE practice among university students in Ethiopia is 11.23% which is very low. The prevalence of BSE practice was high, 13.6% in studies published before 2015, 12.0% among health science students, and 12.6% in studies with a sample size of 384 participants and above. In addition, the estimated pooled prevalence of irregular self-breast-examination practice was 33.28%. Conclusion: The rate of BSE practice among female university students is low. Thus, awareness strategies need to be designed to increase the practice rate among women in the country as BSE is one of the most feasible strategies in early detection of breast cancer if properly implemented.

Land conversion around campus 4 of Ahmad Dahlan University Yogyakarta affects the diversity and abundance of pollinating insects, one of which is bees. The purpose of this study was to calculate the level of diversity and abundance of bees on campus 4 UAD and its surroundings. The sampling area consisted of 4 plots, with each plot measuring 1750 m2( 35 m x 50 m) determined using the observation method. Sampling was carried out three times, which was carried out in the morning at 07.00 – 11.00 and continued in the afternoon at 15.00 – 17.00. Bees were identified by comparing their morphological characters with identification reference books and journals. The Spearman correlation test then analyzed the bee abundance data and abiotic factors. The results showed that the level of bee diversity on campus 4 UAD and its surroundings was moderate (1 H' 3). The most abundant bee species was Xylocopa aestuan, with 118 individuals, and the least abundant was Apis mellifera, with 7 individuals. The conclusion of this study is the state of the ecosystem on campus 4 UAD and its surroundings, there is a disturbance in the form of land use change, but bees can still tolerate the disturbance.

The molecular properties of robinetin and melanoxetin which are the two naturally occurring flavonoid compounds have been studied theoretically by means of density functional theory approach (DFT) at the level of B3LYP/6-311G(d,p). The analysis of computed bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE), proton affinity (PA), electron transfer enthalpy (ETE) values for both the flavonoid compounds indicate the role of B-ring for the significant antioxidant characteristics and the instability of the A-ring. It also concerns the dominant role of BDE mechanism for antioxidant activity than PDE, PA and ETE mechanisms. Ionization potential (IP) is also found to be trustworthy in the study of antioxidant activity and the computed IP magnitudes are in agreement with the values of synthetic food additives. Further, the various molecular descriptors along with the plot of frontier molecular orbitals and Mulliken spin population analysis have been obtained and the validity of Koopmans' theorem is also verified with reference to antioxidant behavior.

In this 3-yr field study, the activities of alfalfa leafcutting bees (Megachile rotundata Fabricius) (LCB) at varying stocking levels were monitored in shade cloth isolation tents containing male-sterile and male-fertile rows of oilseed rape Brassica napus L. to determine optimum conditions for hybrid seed production. Bumble bees, Bombus impatiens Cresson, were similarly tested in 1 yr; their pollination activities were minimal, and weight of seed produced on female lines in tents containing bumble bees was similar to that in tents without pollinators. Leafcutting bee activity, as measured by the number of female bees at the entrance to tunnels in the hive, at first increased, then decreased with increasing stocking rate. Duration of time spent visiting flowers did not vary with stocking rate, but was longer on male-fertile than on male-sterile flowers. Production of hybrid seed within tents varied with leafcutting bee stocking rate, with the highest seed yield achieved at stocking rates equivalent to three charges at weekly intervals of 400 000 leafcutting bees per hectare. At optimum LCB stocking rates, the method described provided sufficient seed quantity for small-plot multi-location field evaluation of oilseed rape hybrids.

Background. Self-efficacy is an important psychological and motivational factor in breastfeeding, and it is a valuable framework that predicts breastfeeding outcomes and demonstrates maternal confidence in breastfeeding. The meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of educational interventions on improving breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE). Methods. The English and Persian databases including Medline, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Sid, IRANDOC, and Marg-Iran were systematically searched for studies published from January 2005 to December 2020. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the heterogeneity by I2 statistic. The extracted data were analyzed using RevMan 5 statistical software and presented using random effects standardized mean difference (SMD). The funnel plot was used for evaluating publication bias. Results. Results from 40 RCTs showed that educational intervention had a positive effect on the BSE compared with the usual/standard care (pooled SMD = 1.20; 95% CI = 0.75–1.64, p value <0.001). The subgroup analysis indicated that the educational intervention was based on theory, group class format, direct method education, during the first week of postpartum, doing during pregnancy, on primiparous women, and health center setting, and the Asian region has a more effect on BSE than the others. Conclusion. Breastfeeding education is considered an influential factor in the improvement of BSE. It is recommended that breastfeeding education should be continued for several weeks after childbirth for gaining its benefit. The Asian region has a more effect on BSE than the others. Therefore, it is important to add the values in content of education in each country.

Abstract This test was conducted on a commercial field of seed alfalfa at Lovelock, NV. Spray treatments were applied with a field plot sprayer calibrated to apply 20.9 gpa at 35 psi to paired blocks of alfalfa 44 ft × 100 ft. Untreated blocks of the same size were located on each side of the treated blocks. Located in the center of the treated blocks was a leafcutting bee domicile which contained ca. 50 thousand nesting bees. Following cessation of pollinator activity treatments were applied late evening Jul 16. Three samples consisting of 10 sweeps each were taken from each treated and untreated block at 3, 7, and 14 days posttreatment. Night counts of nesting leafcutting bees were made pre- and posttreatment in the domiciles within the treated area and one outside the treatment area. Observations of bee activity and presence of dead bees were made in each domicile daily following treatment. Forging bees (both honey and leafcutting) were counted fore noon each day in yard wide transects across each treated and untreated block.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to feminist ideas in T. Miciński’s novel «The Teacher». Attention is drawn to the general features of «Young Poland» as an era in Polish culture and the place of feminism in it. The author focuses on the pecu- liarities of the collection «The Oaks of Tchernobyl», on its main ideas and preface. The way of expressing T. Miciński’s thoughts and emotions in the novel «The Teacher» is considered, namely his convincing attempt to express femininity in a work written by a man. A brief psychological portrait of the main character of the story is given, as well as the influence of her biography on the girl’s worldview is substantiated. The article examines the differences between the two editions of the novel «The Teacher» ‒ 1896 and 1911. Attention is drawn to the plot changes, a brighter solution, deeper metaphors and more clearly defined feminist concepts. It emphasizes the noticeable change of Amelia in the 1st and 2nd editions of the novel: from indecisive and naive to a mature and strong girl. Wojciech Gutowski’s concept of the «Valkyrie-Bee» is analyzed, according to which the «Valkyrie» symbols in the story signify courage, the desire for freedom and the readiness of the main character to fight against the social norms of the time. The symbols of «Bee» mean obedience, hesitation and attachment to their students. The «Valkyrie’s» constant struggle with the «Bee» (and the victory of the former) is one of the main feminist ideas in the story. The author of the article also draws attention to a number of other female characters who embody feminist images: Zosia, Manya, Stefka, Mrs. Kurbet and Anna. Zoska’s moral and professional growth throughout the plot is emphasized, as well as a symbolic allusion to Kl- ementyna Hoffmanova, which turns Zoska into a powerful image of the women’s movement in Poland, which seeks to develop, achieve more and help future generations. The conclusion is made about the power of feminist ideas in the novel and the possibility of the author’s unconscious influence of «The Teacher» on the development of the women’s movement in Poland.

Full textAbstract:
Carthamus tinctorius L. (safflower) is a drought-tolerant plant that has been cultivated for its oil, carthamin pigment, and edible parts. Seed production by safflower is related to its pollination success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Apis mellifera L. (honey bee) and Bombus terrestris L. (bumble bee) pollination on safflower seed quality. Experiments with five treatments were prepared, four of which consisted of cages with either honey bees, bumble bees, or honey bees and bumble bees together in them, or without any insects, plus one open-pollinated plot treatment. To determine seed quality in the different treatments, the total seed yield, 1000 grain weight of seeds, number of seeds per capitulum, total oil content, fatty acid composition, and total oil yield in each treatment was determined. Total seed and oil yield was increased with bee pollination, whereas no significant difference was found in the total oil content and 1000 grain weight of seeds among treatments. Significant differences were observed among treatments in their seeds’ fatty acid compositions, specifically in their content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. As a result, it was found that pollination by bees can positively affect the seed characteristics of safflower, while also increasing the total seed yield. We thus recommend using commercial bees in the cultivation of safflower.

Full textAbstract:
Sucking insects are the most common pests and could affect a wide range of cultural and wild plants. They possess a big reproductive potential and under favourable climatic conditions can cause considerable damages on agricultural crops. Some of the sucking insects show resistance to chemical pesticides, which additionally makes their control difficult. To investigate the effect of natural pesticides on the population of some sucking insects in a two year`s field experiment was conducted in the region of the village Kliment on five years`s old organic rose plantation. The following products have been included in the investigation: Limocide® (60 g/L orange oil) NeemAzal® T/S (Nime-substance – 2.5 %) and 4 % bee glue solution. The field experiments were arranged according to the block method in four replications and plot size of 18 м2 (21 plants per variant). The population density of sucking insects varied depending on the climate conditions. The product Limocide® and the 4% bee glue solution managed to control the invasion of the two-spotted spider mite Macrosiphum rosae L. and proved their effectiveness against Thrips tabaci as well. The product that contain as azadirachtin as an active substance showed an unsatisfactory percentage of effectiveness against the target insects. The 4% bee glue solution has a great potential, and its mechanism of action needs to be further investigated. Keywords: biological control, sucking insects, roses

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to assess the effect of forest management for coffee cultivation on bee flora diversity, honey yield and quality as forest crop products in Gera district. Forest coffee (FC) and Semi-forest coffee (SFC) plots were selected for bee flora assessment. Total of 34 plots (FC = 17, SFC = 17) with plot size 20 m x 20 m (400 m2) were assessed. Sixty bee flora species belonging to trees (30), shrubs (21) and woody lianas (9) were identified and compared across plots. Results show that more bee flora diversity in FC (2.03) than SFC (1.09) system. Honey yield data was collected from 78 (FC = 52, SFC = 26) beekeepers. The honey yield of FC was higher than SFC system in both high and low production years. The honey production on average was 9.58 kg hive-1 for FC and 6.44 kg hive-1 for SFC in high production year while 6.5 kg hive-1 for FC and 4.24 kg hive-1 for SFC in low production year. To assess the honey quality, 6 kg honey samples (FC = 3, SFC = 3) were collected. Six honey quality parameters i.e. moisture, ash, pH, free acidity, electrical conductivity (EC) and total soluble solid (TSS) contents. The biochemical variation in the composition is significantly different (P<0.05) in ash content, pH, EC and free acidity when comparing FC with SFC honey samples while the percentage of moisture and TSS contents were insignificant (p>0.05). The study revealed that coffee management is associated with a decline in bee flora diversity, honey yields and on top of this, it has implications on honey quality deteriorations. Thus, there is an urgent need for control and monitoring on the expansion of SFC cultivation, which needs immediate conservation measures. Therefore, conservationists have to take actions for biodiversity conservation specially bee flora species diversity and ecosystem services that accompanied with coffee management and FC intensifications.

We evaluated the research on silviculture-production in the last 45 years in a 105-year-old beech stand, not tended up to its stand age of 60 years. Four alternatives (tending regime) were studied for development of the target (crop) trees. These were: (i) plot with heavy thinning from below (C degree according to the German Forest Research Institutes from 1902), (ii) plot with free crown thinning (thinning interval of 5 years), (iii) plot with free crown thinning (thinning interval of 10 years), and (iv) control plot (with no thinning). Target trees in the stand were selected and marked at the beginning of the study. Their development was analysed in relation to the method of tending. Based on the 45-year research period, we conclude that the most favourable results were obtained on plots tended by free crown thinning (thinning interval of 5 or 10 years) in comparison with plots tended by heavy thinning from below or with the control plot (without any tending).

Honeybee populations are known to be infected by numerous viruses. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of regions of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is often used to diagnose the presence in apiaries and also to classify the type of virus detected. In this report, through analysis of the RdRp gene, we describe a novel recombination event in the DWV genome. Similarity plot analysis amplified from hundred positive individuals identified a previously undescribed recombination point in the 5’ region of the polymerase gene. To our knowledge this is the first description of recombination in the DWV polymerase gene and highlights the continuous genetic evolution of these viruses.

Abstract Epidemics were part of the ancient world; the Homeric Iliad begins with a pestilence that decisively shapes the further course of the plot. The sequence of historically attested epidemics ranges from the »Attic Plague« of 430 BCE to the »Antonine Plague« of the 2nd century to the pandemic of the »Justinianic Plague« of 541/42. Plagues are mentioned in numerous genera of ancient literature; in Hippocratic-Galenic medicine, the plague plays an important, yet peculiarly small role. The words »arrows of pestilence«, »miasma«, and »contagion« in the title stand for ancient theories of origin, which covered a wide range of metaphysicalreligious, natural history and empirical views and each conditioned different, also interacting, coping strategies of epidemics.

In this work we present comparisons between DSMC simulations of the full BTE and deterministic simulations of a relaxation-time approximation for a nowadays size Si diode. We assume a field dependent relaxation time fitted to give the same drift speed (mean velocity) as DSMC simulations for bulk Si. We compute the density, mean velocity, force field, potential drop, energy and I-V curves of both models and plot the pdf of the deterministic relaxation-time model. We also compare the results to augmented drift-diffusion models proposed in the literature to approximate the relaxation time system in the quasi-ballistic regime. The quasi-ballistic and ballistic regimes are distinguished by using local dimensionless parameters.

In 1997, long-term thinning experiment Všeteč in Southern Bohemia was established in the young 19-year-old mixed beech and spruce stand. Three variants (0.10 ha each) were investigated: 1 – control unthinned plot (only salvage cut was done), 2 – plot with positive selection from above and 3 – plot with negative selection from below. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the first results from the eleven-year investigation (at the age of 19–29 years) focused on the effect of thinning on growth, species composition, litter-fall and humus in young mixed stands in this experiment. Thinning (both variants) resulted in decreased salvage cut (dead, broken and uprooted trees). Continual diminishing of spruce portion (started quickly after dry season in 2003 on control unthinned plot) was slow or soft on both thinned plots. Annual litter-fall in experimental young spruce and beech mixed stands at the age of 27–29 years varied from 4.6 to 5.5 thousand kg/ha and dry biomass of humus horizons L, F and H represented altogether approximately 91 and 128 thousand kg/ha on plots 3 and 1, respectively (plot 2 was omitted from this part of investigation).

Understanding spatial variation in species composition of different communities is key to understanding the processes that generate and maintain biodiversity. The partitioning of diversity into hierarchical scale-related components is an interesting approach to quantitatively defining the overall net biodiversity from hierarchically scaled studies and is a useful method in studies of conservation biology and restoration. This paper deals with the additive partitioning of the overall diversity and the partitioning of beta-diversity of epiphytic bryophytes along an elevational gradient in Madagascar. The aim is to describe the variation in species composition between sites and to elucidate why different species occur in different communities in the Marojejy National Park (250–2050 m). We looked at the contribution of α and β diversity to total diversity were calculated from four hierarchical scales: microhabitat (50 cm2), quadrat (4 m2), plot (100 m2) and elevation (every 200 m). Furthermore, we documented how the two components of beta-diversity (turnover and nestedness) are influenced by variation in elevation. Our result suggests that more variation in species richness was found within the elevational scales, than within microplot scales, confirming that beta diversity at the largest sampling scale is the largest contributor to the total diversity. It indicates that bryophyte species among sample within each level are a subsample of the same species pool. This study shows evidence that the beta-diversity of epiphytic bryophyte assemblages is dominated by high spatial turnover due to recruitment of new species along the Marojejy transect, a clear pattern for mountains.

Purpose: This research aims to find out how to make Trigona Sp beehives using non-B3 solid waste in the form of used PMK pipes and tank plates and to see the savings and handling of household waste handled by Trigona Sp beehives made from PMK pipes. Apart from that, through this research we can also see the contribution of the KTH Aok group in utilizing household waste in the form of used cooking oil in the Dul village area as a natural pesticide. Methodology: The method used in this research is a case study where direct observations are made of the innovations implemented at KTH Aok and will be explained using qualitative descriptive methods. This research will be carried out in the cultivation garden of the Community Empowerment Program run by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Fuel Terminal Pangkal Balam "Aok Bee Farm" in Dul Village, Pangkalan Baru Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Result: non-B3 solid waste in the form of PMK pipes and tank plates can be used as stands for Trigona Sp beehives which are sturdier and more resistant to unpredictable weather. To make it, simply cut the used PMK pipe and tank plate according to the specified size, then weld the cut pipe and plate to join the two parts together until it is finished and can be used as a tool for Trigona Sp bee nests. Through this tool, we can handle Non-B3 waste as well as household waste in the form of used cooking oil which is placed in a container in this tool which is useful for pesticides for pests that attack bee colonies. Conclusion: By using this innovative Trigona Sp beehive holder, you can handle non-B3 solid waste in the form of used PMK pipes and tank plates by cutting and shaping them in such a way that it becomes a holder that can place Trigona Sp beehives.
