Developing a national database on Librarianship and Information Science. The case of E-VIVA, the Hellenic fulltext database

The paper presents the Hellenic fulltext database on Librarianship and Information Science E-VIVA (Ellinike Vivliothikonomike Vase), developed by the Library of the University of Cyprus. The objectives of E-VIVA is to identify, gather, organize, digitize and promote the research, conducted in Greece and Cyprus in the scientific fields of Archival, Library and Infor-mation Sciences. Data are provided concerning the cov-erage, the content, the format and the environment of the database as well as the steps that have been fol-lowed for the development. The legal framework related with the copyright issues that are raised is also dis-cussed. Furthermore a comparison is attempted be-tween E-VIVA, eLIS, LISA and LISTA. Finally the next plans of the Library of the University of Cyprus for the project are presented

The Effect of Bleomycin and its Combined Effect with Radiation on Murine Squamous Carcinoma Treated in vivo

Many previous reports testify to the effectiveness of bleomycin as a drug for the clinical treatment of squamous carcinomata, and some radiotherapists have considered the possibility that an improved therapeutic ratio might be obtained by combined treatment with bleomycin and radiation. This consideration has been stimulated by recent reports of the effects of combined treatment with bleomycin using mammalian cells in vitro. Experiments are described here in which a murine squamous carcinoma has been used to obtain a survival curve for cells of tumours treated in vivo with single doses of bleomycin alone or in combination with radiation given before or after the drug. The survival curve for drug alone was a multicomponent curve with D0 values of 0·1, 0·75 and 2·7 mg/kg. However, the results of the experiments with combined treatment showed no evidence of potentiation

Faktor-Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Pemanfaatan Pelayanan Kesehatan Bagi Masyarakat Pesisir di Desa Bungin Permai Kecamatan Tinanggea Kabupaten Konawe Selatan Tahun 2016

Masalah kesehatan merupakan masalah sosial, ekonomi, politik dan hak asasi manusia yang palingpenting. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Faktor-Faktor Yang Berhubungan DenganPemanfaatan Pelayanan Kesehatan Bagi Masyarakat Pesisir Di Desa Bungin Permai Kecamatan Tinanggeakabupaten Konawe Selatan Tahun 2016. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian Analitik dengan menggunakanpendekatan Cross Sectional Study, Dalam hal ini variabel-variabel yang termasuk faktor penyebab dan variabel variabelyangtermasuk efek di observasi sekaligus pada waktu yang sama. Waktu dan tempat dalam penelitianini Penelitian ini akan dilaksanakan bulan April 2016 di Desa Bungin Permai Kecamatan Tinanggea kabupatenKonawe Selatan. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah masyarakat yang berada di Desa Bungin PermaiKecamatan Tinanggea kabupaten Konawe Selatan sebanyak 1.360 jiwa dengan Jumlah Kepala Keluarga (KK)310. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah kepala keluarga yaitu sebanyak 76 KK dengan teknik pengumpulansampel dilakukan secara acak sederhana (simple random sampling). Analisis data menggunakan analisisunivariat dan analisis bivariat dengan taraf kepercayaan 95% (α = 0,05). Hasil uji chi-square menunjukkanbahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan(p =0,231), ada hubungan yang signifikan antara akses dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ( p = 0,028), adahubungan yang signifikan antara pendapatan dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ( p = 0,021), dan adahubungan yang signifikan antara tradisi dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ( p = 0,000)

Efficacy of Spinetoram for the Control of Bean Weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on Different Surfaces

Simple Summary Contact toxicity of spinetoram on three different surfaces, concrete, ceramic floor tile and laminate flooring, against Acanthocelides obtectus (Say.) was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Our results provide data on the insecticidal effect of spinetoram for the control of A. obtectus on various surfaces; however, its efficacy varies according to the surface type, exposure time and concentration. In conclusion, our laboratory tests indicated that spinetoram at 0.025 and 0.05 mg active ingredient (AI)/cm(2) achieved satisfactory control at relatively short exposures by contact action of A. obtectus adults on three surfaces, commonly encountered in legume storage facilities and warehouses. In this study, the contact toxicity of spinetoram on three different surfaces, concrete, ceramic floor tile and laminate flooring, against Acanthocelides obtectus (Say.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Different concentrations were evaluated ranging from 0.0025 to 0.05 mg AI/cm(2), against adults of A. obtectus. Adult mortality was measured after 1-, 3-, 5- and 7-day exposure. After 1-day exposure, the mortality was low on all surfaces, ranging from 0 to 27.2%. After 5- and 7-day exposure, spinetoram at concentrations of 0.01 mg/cm(2) and above achieved 100% or close mortality on concrete and laminate flooring surface, whereas low concentrations (0.0025, 0.005 and 0.0075 mg AI/cm(2)) resulted in significantly lower mortality levels, ranging from 1.6 to 30.8%, than high concentrations. In the case of ceramic floor tile surface, spinetoram treatments at all tested concentrations did not result in 100% mortality. Significant differences were recorded among the surfaces, depending on concentrations and exposure intervals. After 3-, 5- and 7-day exposure, mortality levels on ceramic floor tile surface were generally higher at low concentrations than those on the concrete and laminate flooring surfaces, whereas those on concrete and laminate flooring surfaces were significantly higher at high concentrations than ceramic floor tile surface. These results indicate that spinetoram at 0.025 and 0.05 mg AI/cm(2) achieve satisfactory control at relatively short exposures on common types of surfaces and thus can be used as an effective insecticide against A. obtectus

Technical improvement of the Detia Degesch Phosphine Tolerance Test Kit: Presentation

Phosphine is the most important commonly used fumigant for the control of stored product insects in warehouses and processing facilities globally. However, the improper and extensive use has led to reduced susceptibility to phosphine for several insect species and strains in many parts of the world. To evaluate and quantify this phenomenon, Detia Degesch developed the Detia Degesch Phosphine Tolerance Test Kit (DDPTTK) more than 10 years ago. The use of DDPTTK is based on the exposure of the insects on a high concentration of phosphine (e.g. 3000 ppm) for short exposure periods (e.g. 8-15 min). This kit can be used on site by the fumigation and food industry, and can provide immediate results on the tolerance status of the insect strains that are to be treated. So far, the instructions of DDPTTK refer only to a six insect species. In this work, data for the expansion of knowledge about other species is provided, in order to broaden the spectrum of cases where the kit can be used. Moreover, certain improvements for the use of the kit are introduced, i.e. practical recommendations on the procedure and safety instructions.Phosphine is the most important commonly used fumigant for the control of stored product insects in warehouses and processing facilities globally.
