El objetivo de la investigación consistió en determinar los factores que predicen la disposición para el estudio en universitarios de una institución limeña. Participaron 286 estudiantes con edades entre 24 y 29 años (M = 26.2, DE = 3.27), siendo el 26.57% hombres (n = 76) y el 73.42% mujeres (n = 210). Sobre un diseño no experimental, causal predictivo se tomaron como medidas a la Escala de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Estudio, la Escala de Satisfacción académica, el APGAR Familiar, la Escala Multidimensional de Apoyo Social Percibido y la Escala de Disposición para el Estudio. Los resultados destacaron la conformación de un modelo de cuatro factores que lograron predecir a la variable endógena en un 63.4% (R2 = .652, R2 ajustado = .634, F = 77.23, p < .001). Se recomendó continuar profundizando sobre los factores y sus implicancias prácticas y teóricas sobre la disposición para el estudio.
Seafood consumption is increasing in Australia, especially in New South Wales (NSW). Average per capita seafood consumption in NSW is higher than the national average. Seafood supply in NSW comes from domestic (wild catch and aquaculture) and overseas (seafood imports) sources. The contribution of wild catch and aquaculture in domestic seafood production (2012–2013) was 73.42% and 26.52%, respectively. Seafood-associated foodborne illness outbreaks are not common and on an average four outbreaks occur each year in NSW. Most of the outbreaks in 2015 and 2016 were related to ciguatera poisoning. The regulation of the seafood industry and the management of food safety is an example of the coordinated work of multiple government agencies and organizations in which NSW Food Authority is responsible for managing the overall risks through the Seafood Safety Scheme. Overall, seafood supply in NSW is of high quality and poses low food safety risk to consumers.

Die Kausia ist die traditionelle Mütze der antiken Makedonen. Sie wurde von Herrschern, Soldaten und Zivilisten (insbesondere Epheben) im Freien getragen und verbreitete sich seit Ende des 4. Jahrhunderts über weite Teile der hellenistischen Welt. Die Grundlage dieser Untersuchung bilden rund 750 Darstellungen aus verschiedenen Gattungen (Plastik, Relief, Malerei/Mosaik, Münzen, Kameen, Siegel, Koroplastik) und Regionen (von den Alpen bis Pakistan, von der Krim bis Ägypten) sowie 35 schriftliche Quellen. Untersucht werden zunächst antiquarische Aspekte (Aussehen, Herstellung, Material, Farbe sowie Herkunft und Verbreitung). Anschließend wird anhand szenischer Darstellungen (Malerei, Relief, Münzen) und der Fundkontexte (insbesondere Terrakotten aus Heiligtümern und Gräber) bestimmt, welche Personengruppen die Kausia in welchen Regionen und welchen Kontexten trugen und/oder sich mit dieser darstellen ließen. Die Funktion und Symbolik der Kausia werden mit ethnologischen Methoden untersucht. - In der Herrscherrepräsentation dient die Kausia der Legitimierung der Herrschaft (durch Bezugnahme auf Alexander III. und dessen Sieghaftgkeit, nur indirekt auf Makedonien). Allgemein dient die Kausia im militärischen und im zivilen Bereich der Solidarisierung innerhalb der Gruppe der Makedones und Hellenes. Sie wird vorzugsweise im Rahmen politisch und gesellschaftlich wichtiger Einrichtungen getragen bzw. dargestellt (Heer, Gymnasion, Theater). Makedones und Hellenes bilden die staatstragende Gruppe der hellenistischen Reiche. Der König ist Hauptrepräsentant des Staates. Die Kausia dient der Stabilisierung des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Systems. Aber die Kausia ist keine kultische Kopfbedeckung. Nicht nur Könige tragen die Kausia. Die Kausia ist in der Regel kein nationales Symbol. ; Worn outdoors by kings, soldiers and civilians (especially ephebs) the causia is the traditional cap of the ancient Macedonians and spreading itself in the hellenistic world since the end of the 4th century B.C. This thesis is based on around 750 representations (sculptures, reliefs, paintings, mosaics, coins, cameos, seals, terracottas) from areas between the Alps and Pakistan, the Black Sea and Egypt and 35 greek and latin written sources. At first antiquarian aspects are analyzed (appearance, production, material, coulor, origin and spread), then are defined the persons wearing the causia, the areas of circulation, and the social and cultural contexts based on scenic representations (painting, relief, coins) and/or the finding context (sanctuary or funeral). Function and symbolism of the causia are evaluated by ethnological methods. - In the representation of rulers the causia serves legitimizing the kingship referring to Alexander III. and his victories. Generally the ca! usia is strengthening the solidarity between the group of the Makedones and the Hellenes in military and civil life. Makedones and Hellenes, who form the group representating the state, are wearing (or picture with) the causia in the context with institutions of political and social importance (army, gymnasium, theatre). The causia is stabilizing the political, social, oeconomical and cultural system. But the causia is not a cultic headdress. Not only kings are wearing the causia. The causia is (mostly) not a national symbol.
BackgroundDiagnosis of primary HIV infection (PHI) has important clinical and public health implications. HAART initiation at this stage remains controversial.MethodsOur objective was to identify predictors of disease progression among Argentinean seroconverters during the first year of infection, within a multicentre registry of PHI‐patients diagnosed between 1997 and 2008. Cox regression was used to analyze predictors of progression (LT‐CD4 < 350 cells/mm3, B, C events or death) at 12 months among untreated patients.ResultsAmong 134 subjects, 74% presented with acute retroviral syndrome (ARS). Seven opportunistic infections (one death), nine B events, and 10 non‐AIDS defining serious events were observed. Among the 92 untreated patients, 24 (26%) progressed at 12 months versus three (7%) in the treated group (p = 0.01). The 12‐month progression rate among untreated patients with ARS was 34% (95% CI 22.5‐46.3) versus 13% (95% CI 1.1‐24.7) in asymptomatic patients (p = 0.04). In univariate analysis, ARS, baseline LT‐CD4 < 350 cells/mm3, and baseline and six‐month viral load (VL) > 100,000 copies/mL were associated with progression. In multivariate analysis, only ARS and baseline VL > 100,000 copies/mL remained independently associated; HR: 8.44 (95% CI 0.97‐73.42) and 9.44 (95% CI 1.38‐64.68), respectively.ConclusionsIn Argentina, PHI is associated with significant morbidity. HAART should be considered in PHI patients with ARS and high baseline VL to prevent disease progression.
Background: Young adults (<25 years old), a 49% proportion of the Indonesian population, is one crucial component that might determine the future of the nation and achieve Indonesia Emas or Golden Indonesia in 2045. Anxiety is one of the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as one out of five Indonesian people could have suffered from anxiety, especially young adult women. This activity would like to measure the effectiveness of video-assisted learning regarding mental health education during the Pandemic among young adults. Methods: Video regarding mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic was given to 35 young adults (18-25 years old) in Surabaya City using the zoom application. The pre-test and post-test consist of 10 questions and given before and after the video. The data was further analyzed descriptively and analytically using GARPH PRISM 5.00. Result: Increasing knowledge after video-assisted learning was observed, as there was an increasing number of respondents who had good knowledge regarding mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic, from 22.9% to 45.7%. The data were further analyzed using a paired t-test to find the mean difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores, both mean±SD (64.28±14.80 and 73.42±19.70, p<0.001, respectively). The effect of respondents' backgrounds on the score was analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test. There was a significant difference between knowledge and their field of study (p<0.05), but not for the age, sex, and visiting online supporting group website. Conclusion: The video-assisted education effectively increased knowledge regarding mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic among young adults in Surabaya. However, broader respondents are necessary before large implementation in the community.
Not Available ; The land resource inventory of Kondapur Microwatershed was conducted using village cadastral maps and IRS satellite imagery on 1:7920 scale. The false colour composites of IRS imagery were interpreted for physiography and the physiographic delineations were used as base for mapping soils. The soils were studied in several transects and a soil map was prepared with phases of soil series as mapping units. Random checks were made all over the area outside the transects to confirm and validate the soil map unit boundaries. The soil map shows the geographic distribution and extent, characteristics, classification, behavior and use potentials of the soils in the microwatershed. The present study covers an area of 352 ha in Yadgir taluk & district, Karnataka. The climate is semiarid and categorized as drought-prone with an average annual rainfall of 866 mm, of which about 652 mm is received during south-west monsoon, 138 mm during north-east and the remaining 76 mm during the rest of the year. An area of 331 ha (94%) in the microwatershed is covered by soils and 20 ha (6%) by others (habitation and water bodies). The salient findings from the land resource inventory are summarized briefly below. The soils belong to 3 soil series and 5 soil phases (management units) and one land use class. The length of crop growing period is about 120-150 days starting from 1st week of June to 4th week of October. From the master soil map, several interpretative and thematic maps like land capability, soil depth, surface soil texture, soil gravelliness, available water capacity, soil slope and soil erosion were generated. Soil fertility status maps for macro and micronutrients were generated based on the surface soil samples collected at every 320 m grid interval. Land suitability for growing 29 major agricultural and horticultural crops was assessed and maps showing the degree of suitability along with constraints were generated. Entire area in the microwatershed is suitable for agriculture. About 45 per cent area of the microwatershed has soils that are very deep (>150 cm), 13 per cent soils are deep (100-150 cm) and 36 per cent soils are moderately deep (75-100 cm). About 23 per cent area in the microwatershed has loamy soils and 71 per cent clayey soils. Entire area of the microwatershed has non gravelly (200 mm/m) in available water capacity. An area of about 10 per cent has nearly level (0-1%) and 84 per cent has very gently sloping (1-3% slope) lands in the microwatershed. An area of about 10 per cent are slightly eroded (e1), 68 per cent are moderately (e2) eroded and 16 per cent area is severely (e3) eroded. An area of about 13 per cent is moderately alkaline (pH 7.8-8.4), 69 per cent is strongly alkaline (pH 8.4-9.0) and 12 per cent is very strongly alkaline (pH >9.0) in relation. The Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the soils in the entire area of the microwatershed is 0.75%) in organic carbon. About 86 per cent area is low (57 kg/ha) in available phosphorus. About 45 per cent is medium (145-337 kg/ha) and 49 per cent is high (>337 kg/ha) in available potassium. Available sulphur is low (1.0 ppm) in 37 per cent area of the microwatershed. Available iron is deficient (4.5 ppm) in 10 per cent area of the microwatershed. Available manganese is sufficient in the entire soils of the microwatershed. Available copper is sufficient in the entire soils of the microwatershed. Available zinc is deficient (0.6 ppm) in 4 per cent area of the microwatershed. The land suitability for 29 major agricultural and horticultural crops grown in the microwatershed was assessed and the areas that are highly suitable (S1) and moderately suitable (S2) are given below. It is however to be noted that a given soil may be suitable for various crops but what specific crop to be grown may be decided by the farmer looking to his capacity to invest on various inputs, marketing infrastructure, market price and finally the demand and supply position.

Maintaining soil-health is vital for crop production and conserve soil and land resource base for maintaining ecological balance and to mitigate climate change. For this, several ameliorative measures have been suggested for these problematic soils like saline/alkali, highly eroded, sandy soils etc., Soil and water conservation treatment plan has been prepared that would help in identifying the sites to be treated and also the type of structures required. As part of the greening programme, several tree species have been suggested to be planted in marginal and submarginal lands, field bunds and also in the hillocks, mounds and ridges. This would help in not only supplementing the farm income but also provide fodder and fuel and generate lot of biomass which would help in maintaining an ecological balance and also contribute to mitigating the climate change.
