Effect of Animal Manure on Forage Yield and Quality of Pangolagrass and Soil Fertility

Animal wastes may cause environmental pollution. Lu & Hsu (2004) reported that N utilisation in the manure by pangolagrass was 10-28%. Objectives of this study were to determine the effect of animal manure on forage yield and quality of pangolagrass and soil fertility

Prosody-Driven Movement? Evidence from Bangla

This paper addresses a longstanding puzzle in Bangla syntax regarding the position of the complementizer particle je (cf. Bayer and Dasgupta 2010, Bhattacharya 2001 and Hsu 2015). Preposing of finite complement clauses is observed to be related to the position occupied by the complementizer je within the complement clause. Some earlier accounts have tried to explain the phenomenon with the help of information-structure-driven movements, while the other has been a syntax-phonology interface approach (Hsu 2015). This paper suggests a novel connection between the movement of an element to the left of the je particle and scrambling in Bangla. Finally, a syntax-phonology interface account along the lines of Hsu (2015) is suggested, where the final positioning of the complementizer and the complement clause is determined by an interaction of post-syntactic constraints

Karakteristik Kewirausahaan Dan Lingkungan Bisnis Sebagai Faktor Penentu Pertumbuhan USAha (Studi IKM Di Sentra Kerajinan Rotan Amuntai Kab. Hulu Sungai Utara, Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan)

The purpose of this research is to know the characteristic of enterpreneurial business owners, conditions of business environment and the role of the business environment in the development of industries of rattan furniture, rattan weaving and lampit in Amuntai HSU, South Kalimantan. Population in this research is all businesses in Rattan Crafts Center in Amuntai HSU South Kalimantan. Sample in this research is taken using purposive and snowbal sampling. Data collecting is done by interview, observation and documentation methods. The result showed that enterpreneurship characteristics owned by the business owners are attitude of product innovation and authenticity, the willingness to take risk in having product diversity, and strong leadership in having harmonious relations with employees. The business owners have not yet had an attitude toward duties and maximum profit results within the internal and external business environment. Furniture and webbing rattan producers should be able to build duty-oriented attitude and an attitude towards maximum profit. They need to also be a risk-taker and a leader in facing the challenges of business world within internal and external business environment

25-hydroxyvitamin D and health service utilization for asthma in early childhood

Introduction Asthma is the most common chronic illness of childhood and a common reason for hospital admission. Studies suggest that low vitamin D levels may be associated with health service utilization (HSU) for childhood asthma. Objectives and Approach The primary objective was to determine if vitamin D serum levels in early childhood were associated with HSU for asthma including: a) total HSU, b) hospital admissions, c) emergency department visits and d) outpatient sick visits. Secondary objectives were to determine whether vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy or childhood were associated with HSU for asthma. Prospective cohort study of children participating in the TARGet Kids! practice based research network. HSU was determined by linking each child's provincial health insurance number to health administrative databases. Multivariable quasi Poisson and logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations. Results 2926 healthy children ages 0-6 years had 25-hydroxyvitamin D data available and were included in the primary analysis. Mean (IQR) 25-hydroxyvitmain D level was 84 nmol/L (65-98 nmol/L), 218 and 1267 children had 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <50 nmol/L and <75 nmol/L, respectively. In the adjusted models, there were no associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (continuously or dichotomized at 50 and 75 nmol/L), vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy or childhood and HSU for asthma. Conclusion/Implications Higher vitamin D blood values do not appear to be associated with HSU for asthma in this population of healthy urban children
