An experiment was conducted with four selection procedures of 20 progenies [PS(EF), PS(HY), SSD and RBP] of GJG 0719 x SAKI 9516 in F5 generation in Desi chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to study the correlation and direct and indirect effects of different characters on seed yield. Correlation coefficients of seed yield per plant with various characters within F5 generation revealed that seed yield per plant exhibited significant and positive association at genotypic and phenotypic levels with number of pods per plant in all the selection procedures of the cross.

Coastal tourism is a significant portion of the Vietnam’s economy due to diverse coastal environment with variety of ecosystems. These include wonderful natural scenery, sandy beaches, rocky headlands, sand dunes, mangroves, coral reefs, wetlands. However, unplanned tourism development caused obvious negative impacts on coastal environment, which will increase with exploitation unless preventive solutions are adopted.

Morphology, morphometry and growth rings of the otoliths: sagitta, asteriscus and lapillus of Centropomus nigrescens Günther 1864 in Manzanillo and Santiago bays in, Colima, Mexico were studied. Differences between sexes, as right and left of the three pairs of otoliths were analyzed. In all cases the growth of the otoliths is eccentric to the core. Relationship between fish length and length and width of the otoliths showed that these structures have a negative allometric index. Twelve growth rings were identified in sagittae and asterisci.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the overall play participation of children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 9-13 years by measuring what activities they participate in using the Preteen Play Profile (Henry, 2000); and to explore variations in participation in different play categories based on each child’s manual ability, gross motor function, CP distribution and gender. Material and Methodology: A total of 500 surveys were distributed from different centers for CP children using the methods previously described.

Quality of Condom Use is used in health care with ambiguity and subjectivity. Measuring quality is often a factor of an individual’s knowledge and awareness. Quality is brought about by strict and consistent commitment to certain standards that achieve uniformity of a product in order to satisfy specific user requirements (businessdictionary.com). People have different views about Quality of Condom Use. Objective: The aim of this concept paper is to clarify the characteristics of Quality of Condom Use in sexual reproductive health.

Runt related transcription factor 1 also known as RUNX1 play a pivotal role in the regulation of the development of hematopoietic system in accordance with various transcriptional co-regulators. It is one of the most common targets of chromosomal translocations and mutations in its runt domain are frequently associated with leukemogenesis. Structural studies of RUNX1-DNA complexes provide details of direct contacts formed between runt domain of RUNX1 and DNA. The amino acid residues, Lys83 and Arg174, of RUNX1 directly interact with its binding site on the promoters.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the Pathology monitoring from the students' perspective of an educational institution in the state Ceará, Brazil. A cross-sectional descriptive study with a quantitative approach was carried out with a sample of 30 Nursing students. The mean age was 22.4 ± 6.38 years, and the majority of the students were women (83.33%). For 96.67% of the students, the Pathology monitoring contributed to the functioning and the teaching-learning process of the discipline.

Medicinal plants have been used indigenously since ancient past as medicines for the treatment of various ailments.

The global demand for herbal medicine is not only large, but growing. Due to many reasons many plants are becoming endanger or about to extinct. Most of the causal factors currently threatening plant species are anthropogenic in nature i.e. induced or influenced by man.

This study aims to establish the phenological performance of five (5) improved cultivars of the jujube tree Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. Introduced in Niger. Leaf growth, opening and abortion of flowers and fruit dynamics were monitored under an experimental design consisting of two lines of each variety and each line is consisting of 19 tree plants an overall of 38 plants tree per variety and 190 plants tree in total. Results showed that Umran cultivars recorded the highest leaf appearance with a mean of 6.2, while Ben Gurion and Kaitheli had the lowest mean value of 4.2 leaves.
