Combined Effects of Allelochemical and Pesticide Treatment on the Growth of Cucumber Plants

Allelochemicals are biochemicals produced by one plant that inhibits the success of other plants in its vicinity. These allelochemicals are sometimes produced naturally or as a result of stimulus or stress. Ferulic acid is a widespread allelochemical found in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus). Artificial inhibitory chemicals such as the pesticide zeta cypermethrin may create new interactions with ferulic acid. We found that cucumbers acclimate to ferulic acid over time while the inhibitory effects of pesticide remained relatively constant over 14 days

Impugnación de paternidad matrimonial y la vulneración al interés superior del niño, 1° Juzgado de Familia - Lima, 2021

La finalidad fue determinar la relación entre la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial y la vulneración al principio de interés superior del niño. La metodología fue aplicada y no experimental transversal correlacional, teniendo como tamaño muestral a 51 trabajadores y se aplicó el cuestionario por cada variable. Los resultados: 70.6% de los encuestados consideraron como adecuada a la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial, 64.7% percibieron como adecuada a la impugnación rigurosa, 78.4% identificaron como adecuada a la impugnación simple, 68.5% percibieron como alta a la vulneración al principio de interés superior del niño, 74.5% dijeron que fue alta a la vulneración de identidad del menor, 64.7% dijeron que la vulneración del derecho a ser escuchado fue alta durante, 68.8% de los que comprendieron como regular a la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial, afirmaron que la vulneración al principio de interés superior del niño fue media y 53.8% del personal que indicó como regular a la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial, aseveró que la veneración al derecho a la identidad del menor fue media. Asimismo, 84.8% de los que consideraron como adecuada a la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial, refirieron que se vulneró el derecho a ser escuchado en un nivel alto. Concluyendo que, existe relación significativa entre las variables, ya que el p-value Chi Cuadrado =0.000<0.05; es decir, si la impugnación de paternidad matrimonial es aplicada de forma adecuada, se vulnerará al principio de interés superior del niño, porque llega a vulnerar el derecho a la identidad y a ser escuchado del menor

Comparison of sono-direct and sono-alternate current electro coagulation processes for removal of color and turbidity from domestic wastewater

Nowadays there is a problem related to wastewater handling which is released from different activities. Electrocoagulation has been a dominant treatment method for wastewater treatment. There are different forms of electrocoagulation methods for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, there was no comparison made for the removal efficiency of the sono-alternate current (SAC), alternate current (AC), sono-direct current (SDC), and direct current (DC) electrocoagulation process. Methods: The efficiency of electrocoagulation method was compared for removal of color and turbidity from Jimma University domestic wastewater. Batch reactor DC/AC electrocoagulation cell was used to determine the removal efficiency. During the comparison, the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze and optimize the data taken from the laboratory. In addition, ANOVA was used to analyze the interaction effects of different parameters. Results: The removal of color and turbidity from domestic wastewater was about 97.53% and 95.28% respectively, using direct current electrocoagulation (DCE). For alternate current electrocoagulation (ACE), the removal of color and turbidity was 98.35% and 96.12%, respectively. The removal of color and turbidity for sono-DCE (SDCE) was obtained to be 98.55% and 98.27%, respectively and for sono ACE (SACE), the removal of color and turbidity was 99.95% and 99.76%, respectively at the optimum experimental conditions of chemical oxygen demand (COD) 960 g/L, initial wastewater pH of 6.8, the current density of 0.4 A/dm2 , inter-terminal spacing of 1 cm, and the association of electrode of Al-Al. Conclusion: According to the findings of thisstudy, it can be concluded that, the SACelectrocoagulation method is the best and promising technique compared with all other electrocoagulation methods

Phylogenetic analyses of rotavirus a from cattle in uruguay reveal the circulation of common and uncommon genotypes and suggest interspecies transmission

Uruguay is one of the main exporters of beef and dairy products, and cattle production is one of the main economic sectors in this country. Rotavirus A (RVA) is the main pathogen associated with neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD), a syndrome that leads to significant economic losses to the livestock industry. The aims of this study are to determine the frequency of RVA infections, and to analyze the genetic diversity of RVA strains in calves in Uruguay. A total of 833 samples from dairy and beef calves were analyzed through RT-qPCR and sequencing. RVA was detected in 57.0% of the samples. The frequency of detection was significantly higher in dairy (59.5%) than beef (28.4%) calves (p < 0.001), while it did not differ significantly among calves born in herds that were vaccinated (64.0%) or not vaccinated (66.7%) against NCD. The frequency of RVA detection and the viral load were significantly higher in samples from diarrheic (72.1%, 7.99 log10 genome copies/mL of feces) than non-diarrheic (59.9%, 7.35 log10 genome copies/mL of feces) calves (p < 0.005 and p = 0.007, respectively). The observed G-types (VP7) were G6 (77.6%), G10 (20.7%), and G24 (1.7%), while the P-types were P[5] (28.4%), P[11] (70.7%), and P[33] (0.9%). The G-type and P-type combinations were G6P[11] (40.4%), G6P[5] (38.6%), G10P[11] (19.3%), and the uncommon genotype G24P[33] (1.8%). VP6 and NSP1-5 genotyping were performed to better characterize some strains. The phylogenetic analyses suggested interspecies transmission, including transmission between animals and humans.Fil: Castells, Matías.

CAGE profiling of ncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma reveals widespread activation of retroviral LTR promoters in virus-induced tumors

An increasing number of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been implicated in various human diseases including cancer; however, the ncRNA transcriptome of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely unexplored. We used CAGE to map transcription start sites across various types of human and mouse HCCs with emphasis on ncRNAs distant from protein-coding genes. Here, we report that retroviral LTR promoters, expressed in healthy tissues such as testis and placenta but not liver, are widely activated in liver tumors. Despite HCC heterogeneity, a subset of LTR-derived ncRNAs were more than 10-fold up-regulated in the vast majority of samples. HCCs with a high LTR activity mostly had a viral etiology, were less differentiated, and showed higher risk of recurrence. ChIP-seq data show that MYC and MAX are associated with ncRNA deregulation. Globally, CAGE enabled us to build a mammalian promoter map for HCC, which uncovers a new layer of complexity in HCC genomics
