Human Capital – Growth Nexus: The Role of Skill Mismatch

CC BY-NC-ND 4.0Economics is a branch of social science that touches upon many aspects of our lives and has important effects on the well-being of all people. Within economics, human well-being is significantly contingent on the process of growth. Production takes place via a combination of human and physical capital; therefore, human capital is expected to be a main contributor to economic growth. However, many studies have failed to uncover a significant association between human capital and growth, and others have found only marginal contributions therein. Several economists have tried to explain this paradox. This study brings forth skill mismatch as another potential explanation of the weak relationship between education and growth, and shows that skill mismatch can nullify the potential advantage of increased human capital. Most countries have failed to take skill mismatch seriously; therefore, there is no systematic data on the indicators that relate to it. This paper emphasizes the need for reliable and sufficient data on the indicators of skill mismatch, so that planning for the better utilization of human capital can take place

Drying Kinetics and Quality Characteristics of Eucheuma Cottonii Seaweed in Various Drying Methods

This study aims to investigate the drying kinetics and the quality characteristics of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed, which was dried in tarpaulin, bamboo shelf, and solar dryer method. Drying rate, moisture content (MC), moisture ratio, effective moisture diffusivity, carrageenan content, gel strength, and color were analyzed. The results showed that the drying kinetics of E. cottonii were included in the falling-rate period. Modified Midilli-Kucuk model was selected to describe the drying kinetics of E. cottonii in all drying methods accurately. The solar dryer method produced dried seaweed with the lowest MC (12.066% db). The analysis of carrageenan content and gel strength showed that the tarpaulin method had higher results than other methods (p < .05). The tarpaulin method had a higher effective moisture diffusivity but produced dried seaweed with a higher browning index if compared to other methods (p < .05). The results of this study are expected to provide the theoretical basis for improving the quality of dried E. cottonii

Questing Business Cycle Synchronization among South Asia in Pre and Post SAARC Establishment: An Empirical Investigation

For last few decades, regional integration has been increased among several countries. Like other blocs Asian countries also made regional bloc in order to establish economic integration. This study is an attempt to empirically investigate the impacts of business cycle synchronization among South Asia in pre and post SAARC establishment. Panel data set of SAARC countries from 1960 to 2019 has been utilized using structural VAR technique. On the basis of these results it is concluded that Business Cycles across SAARC countries are not synchronous. Inter-regional and intra-regional trade requires to be strengthened among member countries in addition to integration related factors

Quantitative trait loci mapping reveals the complexity of adult plant resistance to leaf rust in spring wheat ‘Copio’

The spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) line ‘Copio’ has exhibited high level of adult plant resistance (APR) to the leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) pathogen in Mexico during field evaluations. To elucidate the genetic basis of leaf rust resistance in Copio, 176 F4-derived F6-recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a cross of wheat lines ‘Apav’ and Copio were phenotyped in the field for two seasons in the United States and Mexico. A total of 762 genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers were used to develop linkage maps. Composite interval mapping identified seven quantitative trait loci (QTL), all contributed by Copio. Three QTL on chromosome arms 1BL (QLr.umn-1B), 2AS (QLr.umn-2A), and 3BS (QLr.umn-3B) were consistently expressed across all four environments. The QTL on 1BL represents Lr46, which is a pleiotropic APR gene, while the QTL on 2AS is colocated to the Lr37 gene in the 2NS/2AS translocation fragment. The QTL on 3BS, mapped to the Sr2/Yr30/Lr27 genomic region, is more likely to be a unique locus conferring APR to leaf rust races because all phenotyping environments had Lr27 virulent pathotypes. Moreover, the functionality of Lr27 is complimented by Lr31 on chromosome 4BS, which is lacking in both parents. Marker haplotypes identified seven RILs carrying a combination of resistance alleles at all three loci. This combination reduced leaf rust coefficient of infection up to 52 and 36% in the Mexican and U.S. environments, respectively. This study reports the complex genetic mechanism of APR to leaf rust in Copio and its importance as a potential resistance source for gene pyramiding through recombination breeding

Effect of Bistorta affinis (D. Don) and Malcolmia cabulica (Boiss) Essential Oils on Human and Foodborne Pathogens, Insects and Termites

This current study investigates the biological efficiency of essential oils extracted from Bistorta affinis and Malcolmia cabulica on human and foodborne pathogens as well as against insects and termites. The oils were obtained by steam distillation using a Clevenger-type system and analyzed for their constituents using GC-MS. Twenty compounds were identified, wherein carvacrol and thymol were the main constituents in both plants. Essential oils exhibited significant activity against all tested foodborne bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens. In addition, essential oils from both plants have shown promising activity against all tested insects, which is a positive sign of being used as an insect repellent. In contrast, no activity was observed against termites. The bioactivities are mainly due to carvacrol and thymol’s levels in the essential oils that known for their effectiveness against foodborne pathogens and pests. The present study constitutes a basis for further investigation and development of bioactive compounds in Bistorta affinis and Malcolmia cabulica

QTL mapping of yield components and kernel traits in wheat cultivars TAM 112 and Duster

In the Southern Great Plains, wheat cultivars have been selected for a combination of outstanding yield and drought tolerance as a long-term breeding goal. To understand the underlying genetic mechanisms, this study aimed to dissect the quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with yield components and kernel traits in two wheat cultivars `TAM 112' and `Duster' under both irrigated and dryland environments. A set of 182 recombined inbred lines (RIL) derived from the cross of TAM 112/Duster were planted in 13 diverse environments for evaluation of 18 yield and kernel related traits. High-density genetic linkage map was constructed using 5,081 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). QTL mapping analysis detected 134 QTL regions on all 21 wheat chromosomes, including 30 pleiotropic QTL regions and 21 consistent QTL regions, with 10 QTL regions in common. Three major pleiotropic QTL on the short arms of chromosomes 2B (57.5 - 61.6 Mbps), 2D (37.1 - 38.7 Mbps), and 7D (66.0 - 69.2 Mbps) colocalized with genes Ppd-B1, Ppd-D1, and FT-D1, respectively. And four consistent QTL associated with kernel length (KLEN), thousand kernel weight (TKW), plot grain yield (YLD), and kernel spike-1 (KPS) (Qklen.tamu.1A.325, Qtkw.tamu.2B.137, Qyld.tamu.2D.3, and Qkps.tamu.6A.113) explained more than 5% of the phenotypic variation. QTL Qklen.tamu.1A.325 is a novel QTL with consistent effects under all tested environments. Marker haplotype analysis indicated the QTL combinations significantly increased yield and kernel traits. QTL and the linked markers identified in this study will facilitate future marker-assisted selection (MAS) for pyramiding the favorable alleles and QTL map-based cloning.Horticulture and Landscape Architectur
