Infectious complications in children after liver transplantation are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the lifethreatening infections are seen in the first few months after the operation and are related to their stay in the intensive care unit, invasive monitoring, anastomotic leaks and higher levels of immunosuppressive medications. Infections that happen after six months of liver transplant operation are considered as late infections. True incidence of the type of infections is difficult to establish as most of these patients are usually not managed in the liver transplant centre and the data may not be always provided to the transplant centre by local hospitals. Hence this subject has been only a matter of few research publications [1].

A field experiment was conducted during rainy season of 2016 to evaluate the effect of different fertilizer management practices on growth and productivity of rice grown under SRI system in Kavre district at farmers’ field. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Completely Block Design involving seven different fertilizer management practices viz. Nutrient Expert Rice recommended chemical fertilizer (NPK), FYM (Farm Yard Manure), TP (Titepati), SOM (Shakti organic manure), GM (Goat manure), UD (Urine Drenching) and FFP (Farmers Fertilizer Practice) with four replications. The result revealed significant difference in terms of plant height, panicle length, filled grains panicle-1, grain and straw yields and sterility%. The highest grain yield (5.28t ha-1), straw yield (9.710t ha-1), effective tiller m-2 (210.8), panicle length (24.23cm), number of filled grains panicle-1 (81.37) and the lowest sterility % (23.82%) were obtained from chemical fertilizer followed by Titepati, FYM, FFP, SOM, UD and the lowest grain yield (2.91t ha-1), straw yield (4.46t ha-1), effective tiller m-2 (130.5), panicle length (21.90cm) and number of filled grains panicle-1 (48.77) were obtained in goat manure and concluded that NE-Rice recommendation is the best followed by green manuring of Titepati in intensified rice production of mid-hill agro-eco zone of central Nepal.
在2016年雨季，通过田间试验，评价了不同施肥管理措施对Kavre地区水稻生长和生产力的影响。试验采用随机完全区组设计，采用营养专家水稻推荐化肥(NPK)、FYM(农场厩肥)、TP (Titepati)、SOM(沙克提有机肥)、GM(羊粪)、UD(尿淋)和FFP(农民肥料实践)7种不同的施肥管理方式，共4个重复。结果表明，在株高、穗长、灌浆粒数、籽粒和秸秆产量以及不育率方面存在显著差异。化肥处理的籽粒产量最高(5.28t ha-1)，秸秆产量最高(9.71 t ha-1)，有效分蘖数(210.8)，穗长(24.23cm)，实粒数(81.37)，不育率最低(23.82%)，其次是Titepati、FYM、FFP、SOM、UD，籽粒产量最低(2.91t ha-1)，秸秆产量最低(4.46t ha-1)，有效分蘖数最低(130.5)。结果表明，在尼泊尔中部中山农业生态区，羊粪对水稻的穗长(21.90cm)和实粒数(48.77)的影响最大，以NE-Rice推荐效果最好，其次是Titepati绿色施肥。

In the last decade, researchers provided us with significant advances in our understanding of lung cancer biology and management. They were able to identify many key driver events in lung carcinogenesis, resulting in the discovery of new modalities of targeted therapies towards a personalized medicine. In the same perspective, many clinical trials, together with the immunotherapy are including the patients according to the tumor mutational status and the expression of certain receptors or ligands. Thus, the pathological diagnosis is of high clinical relevance. Moreover, the pathologist is becoming an integrated and essential member during the multi-disciplinary team discussions, enriching our oncologic knowledge with a more developed and structured classification of non-small cell lung cancer. Here, in this review, we will discuss and list what Medical Oncologists are expecting to find in a pathology report in order to adequately treat the patients suffering from a metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Morphological traits used to be employed to differentiate plant genotypes within breeding programs. With the advancement of biotechnology, biochemical markers and DNA molecular markers have become the primary tools used in the differentiation of individuals, because these markers are not influenced by the environment, as it occurs with morphological traits. Consequently, these new techniques provide faster and more precise results. The isoenzymes and the DNA molecular markers RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, and SSR stand out among the biochemical and molecular markers. Each molecular marker presents advantages and limitations, which increases the applicability to different species and laboratory conditions, presenting more reliable results when used in association. Given the increase in the number of works related to bioactive plant species, this review seeks to present the panorama of the use of biochemical and molecular markers in studies on the genetic diversity involving the families Verbenaceae and Lamiaceae, which encompass a large number of medicinal and aromatic species of economic importance.

Cowpea is truly a multifunctional crop, providing food for man and livestock and serving as a valuable and dependable revenue-generating commodity for farmers and grain traders. Cowpea is of major importance to the livelihoods of millions of people in less developed countries of the tropics. It is consumed in many forms. Young leaves, green pods, and green seeds are used as vegetables, and dry seeds are used in various food preparations with 25% protein (on dry-weight basis) in its seeds and tender leaves, cowpea is a major source of protein, minerals, and vitamins in the daily diets in Africa, and thus it positively influences the health of men, women and children. The bulk of the diet of the rural and urban poor in Africa consists of starchy food made from cassava, yam, plantain and banana, millet, sorghum, and maize. The addition of even a small amount of cowpea ensures a nutritional balance and enhances the protein quality by the synergistic effect of high protein and high lysine from cowpea and high methionine and high energy from the starchy foods. Trading fresh produce and processed cowpea foods and snacks provides rural and urban women opportunity for earning cash income. A good knowledge of crop taxonomy contributes to an efficient use of germplasm for hybridization in the breeding programs. In addition, the results of hybridizations and cross compatibilities provide the basis for improving plant classification. Large and diverse cowpea germplasm collections are available to the researchers around the world, especially in Africa, to exploit the valuable genes to improve cowpea cultivars.

The potential of the Megaselia scalaris as a readily available scavenger is underrated in all possible scenario. The capability of the laboratory flies in terms of discarding the hardly degradable matter yet to be explored and nurtured. Thus, the present study tried to emphasize the capability of the laboratory flies to minimize the scientific disposal issues associated with the barely degradable matter, often ranging approximately 7% in Indian municipal solid waste (MSW). Experiments were conducted in prototype bins using the thermopile variety of this mutant fly, which is predominant in the Indian subcontinent. The feeding process yielded an optimal weight reduction of 35% over the period of 11 days subjected to the environmental conditions. Moreover, the greater consumption rates, compatibility of the coffin fly larvae with the MSW ambiance and ability to develop symbiotism with other larval varieties established it as one of the most pertinent species for heavy fraction stabilization of MSW.

The K to 12 program of the Department of Education (DepEd) poses problems especially on the part of the secondary school teachers. There could be mass hiring of basic education teachers to meet the demand of the possible influx of students. Some teachers might be hired and asked to teach subject outside of their fields. This led the researchers to delve on the academic needs and issues of the secondary school teachers in Panabo City through needs analysis. The goals of the study were to identify the issues and challenges of the secondary teachers; and devise an institutionalize extension programs that cater the academic needs of the school community. The study was anchored on the community development theory of Allison Tan that focuses and mitigates on the needs and issues of the oppressed people of the community. The researchers employed both the quantitative and qualitative designs. The researchers utilized survey questionnaires and focus group discussion in collecting relevant data. The needs assessment study revealed that most secondary teachers were male ranging 25 years old and below; most of them were in fixed term contract or probationary; finished on their bachelor’s degrees; and had served for a year. Furthermore, they had found out that the immediate concern of the participants is to attend training that enhances their capacity as teachers. The researchers recommended that the Institute of Education should establish an extension program that caters the prominent needs of the teachers through i.Teach extension program (Integrated, Training, Education, Analysis, Communication, and Homemaking).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of linear and non-linear methods of estimating fish mortality on feed conversion ratio (FCR) and profitability of cage cultured Oreochromis shiranus (Makumba). Two treatments were used, designated as T1 and T2 and were replicated three times. In each cage, 105000 fish were stocked at an initial average body weight of 1.59±0.04g and cultured for 365 days. The fish was fed twice a day with formulated feed (36% Crude Protein) at 4-1% body weight with feed adjustments based on standing biomass from linear and non-linear estimated mortality. The results showed that there were significant differences between the two treatments on FCR . Final mean weight was 179.41±7.71g and feed conversion ratio was 1.64±0.15 for T1 and 177.56±8.27g and 1.54±0.14 respectively for T2. Profitability of the two treatments was calculated by enterprise budgeting. There were significant effects on gross margin between the two treatments Gross margin values were K302,523,924.30 for T1 and K356,065,320.29 for T2. The study concludes that use of non-linear method of estimating fish mortality affect feed conversion ratio and economic profitability of Oreochromis shiranus cultured in cages. It is therefore recommended to use non-linear method of estimating fish mortality if farmers are to reduce FCR and maximize profits from the cage culture of Oreochromis shiranus as feed wastage due to feed overestimation resulting from miscalculation of mortality, can be minimized by 15.77%.

This mini review looks at the affective bonds and the cognitive benefits at the basis of the relationship between human beings and Nature, as a solid starting point for an environmental education program aimed to foster naturalist intelligence. Evidences from studies of years of joint research in evolutionary biology and environmental psychology fields show a plausible overlapping between the constructs of Biophilia, Nature fascination and affiliation to life, and the measurable constructs of perceived restorativenesss and connection to Nature. Here we propose a theoretical model showing the role these constructs may play on the development of naturalist intelligence and eventually on pro-environmental behavior, i.e. the final aim of environmental education. In addition, a fresh speculation on the biophilic quality of the school environment as a way to sustain environmental education is proposed. Biophilia, as the evolutionary legacy, and naturalist intelligence, as the potential goal of education, can be considered the two poles of an environmental education journey where perceived restorativenesss and connection to Nature play a significant role.

In addition, a fresh speculation on the biophilic quality of the school environment as a way to sustain environmental education is proposed. Biophilia, as the evolutionary legacy, and naturalist intelligence, as the potential goal of education, can be considered the two poles of an environmental education journey where perceived restorativenesss and connection to Nature play a significant role.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48440634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
