Bioaccumulation of arsenic(As) and phosphorous by transplanting Aman rice in arsenic-contaminated clay soils.

Arsenic pollution in soil and water has aroused a considerable attention. Inorganic species of arsenic are associated with various internal cancers and create other health problems. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of soil arsenic (As) concentration on arsenic and phosphorous accumulation in root, straw, husk and grain of rice (Oryza sativa). BRRI dhan 33 and BR 11 rice varieties were planted on six levels of As contaminated growth media (T1=3.2, T2=11.6, T3=18.7, T4=38.6, T5=57.8 and T6=80.3 ppm As) in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six replications (Completely Randomized Design). Arsenic concentrations in root, straw, husk and grain were increased significantly with increasing soil As concentration. It was observed that As was highly concentrated in the roots, whereas, phosphorous was high in the grain. Among the treatments, T6 showed highest As accumulation. Arsenic contents in grain and husk of BR 11 were found higher than those of grain and husk of BRRI dhan 33. The straw and root of BRRI dhan 33 showed higher concentration of As than straw and root of BR 11. Phosphorous concentrations in straw, husk and grain were also increased with increase of soil As concentrations. Oryza sativa showed high bioconcentration factor (BCF) and low translocation factor (TF). Therefore, As content in grains did not exceed the maximum permissible limit of 1 mg As kg-1, but straw As is highly risky for animal health as well as human food-chain. It could be concluded that BRRI dhan 33 can be cultivated instead of BR11 in As contaminated soil

Program Intervensi Narimo Ing Pandum untuk Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Psikologis Keluarga Pasien Skizofrenia

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh program intervensi Narimo Ing Pandum (NIP) untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis keluarga dengan skizofrenia. NIP dikembangkan berdasarkan nilai-nilai Jawa yaitu kesabaran, kebersyukuran dan narimo. Responden penelitian ini adalah 2 keluarga yang merawat penderita gangguan skizofrenia. Pendekatan penelitian quasi experiment dengan desain kasus tunggal A-B-A design diterapkan dalam penelitian ini. Ada dua instrument yang digunakan, yaitu Skala NIP dan Skala Kesejahteraan Psikologis. Analisis data digunakan Visual inspection dan analisis kualitatif. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa intervensi NIP dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis keluarga yang merawat anggota keluarga yang mengalami gangguan skizofrenia. Meskipun dalam tahap tindak lanjut ada sedikit penurunan kesejahteraan psikologis, tapi sikap narimo ing pandum mereka masih stabil

Agro-morphological characterization and assessment of variability, heritability, genetic advance and divergence in bacterial blight resistant rice genotypes

AbstractGenetic based knowledge of different growth traits including morphological, physiological and developmental plays fundamental role in the improvement of rice. Genetic divergence allows superior recombinants which are essential in any crop development project. Forty-one rice genotypes including bacterial blight (BB) resistant and susceptible checks were assessed for 13 morphological traits. Among the genotypes, almost all the traits exhibited highly significant variation. The higher extent of genotypic (GCV) as well as phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were noticed for number of tillers hill−1, total number of spikelets panicle−1, number of filled grains panicle−1, and yield hill−1. High heritability together with high genetic advance was observed for total number of spikelets panicle−1, number of filled grains panicle−1, and yield hill−1 indicating dominant role of additive gene action in the expression of these traits. Number of filled grains panicle−1 exhibited positive correlation with most of the traits. Yield hill−1 showed a good number of highly significant positive correlations with number of filled grain panicle−1, total number of spikelets panicle−1, 1000 grain weight hill−1, number of panicle hill−1, and panicle length. The UPGMA dendrogram divided all the genotypes in to six major clusters. The PCA showed 13 morphological traits generated about 71% of total variation among all the genotypes under this study. On the basis of 13 morphological traits, genotypes such as IRBB2, IRBB4, IRBB13, IRBB21, and MR263 could be hybridized with genotypes MR84, MR159, MRQ50, MRQ74, PH9 and IR8 in order to develop suitable BB resistant rice genotypes

Molecular assay on Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus in ticks (Ixodidae) collected from Kermanshah Province, Western Iran

Background: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a feverous and hemorrhagic disease endemic in some parts of Iran and caused by an arbovirus related to Bunyaviridae family and Nairovirusgenus. The main virus reservoir in the nature is ticks, however small vertebrates and a wide range of domestic and wild animals are regarded as reservoir hosts. This study was conducted to determine the infection rate of CCHF virus in hard ticks of Sarpole- Zahab County, Kermanshah province, west of Iran. Methods: From total number of 851 collected ticks from 8 villages, 131 ticks were selected randomlyand investigated for detection of CCHF virus using RT-PCR. Results: The virus was found in 3.8 of the tested ticks. Hyalommaanatolicum, H.asiaticum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus species were found to have viral infection, with the highest infection rate (11.11) in Rh. sanguineus. Conclusion: These findings provide epidemiological evidence for planning control strategies of the disease in the study area
