Nepenthes is a genus of 130-160 species, almost half of which were described after 2001. The recent, rapid increase in species descriptions has been driven by application of a less rigorous species concept by botanists, taxonomic inflation, and discoveries of new taxa during explorations of remote parts of Southeast Asia. Many recently published species descriptions of Nepenthes are based entirely upon qualitative morphological information and are not supported by adequate research. Accordingly, the status of many Nepenthes taxa is contested. Evolution within the genus is not well understood, because nuclear and maternally inherited plastid genomes cannot resolve relationships between many species, particularly those that evolved recently through introgression or reticulate evolution. Improvement in our understanding of the systematics and evolution of Nepenthes requires the adoption of ‘best practice’ collection and preservation methods, and the application of quantitative analytical methods for morphological, genetic, and ecological information.

An analysis was conducted of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) research evidence base on the effectiveness of replicable education interventions. Most interventions were found to have little or no support from technically adequate research studies, and intervention effect sizes were of questionable magnitude to meet education policy goals. These findings painted a dim picture of the evidence base on education interventions and indicated a need for new approaches, including a reexamination of federal reliance on experimental impact research as the basis for gauging intervention effectiveness.

Unethical Pro-organisational Behaviour: Concepts, Motives and Unintended Consequences

With the increase in diversity in the nature of job and human behavioural complicatedness, a new common phenomenon has emerged in workplaces termed as unethical pro-organisational behaviour which has succeeded to attract the attention of behavioural academicians. As a fairly new concept, there is lack of adequate research in this area of organisational psychology. The article mainly aims at discussing the motives for and the consequences of such behaviours with the help of existing literature available. The author argues that the organisations should express their intentions and actions in order to reduce such behavioural tendencies. The article is expected to help further research in this area by summarising the highlights from existing works available.

Image interpretation used to be, and often still is, a marginal specialization within many professions. Because of a lack of adequate research and educational facilities, it has been poorly equipped to cope with the rapid progress in the related field of remote sensing. As a consequence, a large disparity exists between the rate of data recording and their utilization. To rectify this situation, image interpretation should be a discipline in its own right. The emphasis must shift from applications, which should remain in the domain of professionals in disciplines using the data, to fundamental aspects which are common to all disciplines. A two-stage scheme of image interpretation based on teamwork between an image analyst and a specialist in a particular field of application is discussed, so too is its impact on the role of image interpretation.

Studying the effect of microwave fields on the intensification of heat and moisture exchange processes in a granular layer is a rather complicated task, which cannot be effectively solved without an adequate research methodology. In presented materials, a system of principles and approaches for studying processes of microwave-convective grain treatment has been discussed. Based on the explicitly defined process target, functional-physical analysis has been performed that made it possible to specify the most essential factors of process. Morphological analysis of processes shall be performed in several stages. At each stage, targets of process have to be set by excluding combinations of factors that have no reason to be considered at this particular stage of process development. Application of mathematical simulation methods is advisable for selection of optimal options.

When patients present with problems for which existing devices are not adequate, research is stimulated. However, new methods and devices must improve on the older versions and should not result in variation that is less effective than the original versions. Variants less effective than the originals will be discussed with illustrative examples. Orthoses, prostheses, and pressure-reduction techniques for the diabetic foot will be considered.

The aflatoxins, ochratoxins and sterigmatocystin are the principal mycotoxins of Aspergillus spp. that are known to occur naturally in levels sufficient to be regarded as significant hazards to animal and human health. Adequate research has not been done to allow generalizations concerning the other 27 or more mycotoxins of Aspergillus spp. However, the widespread and frequent occurrence of toxigenic isolates of these fungi in feed and food materials indicates that concern is justified, and these fungi and their mycotoxins must be considered hazards until proven otherwise.

Nanomaterials (NMs) have become an integral part of our daily life and their extensive uproduction will only increase with the coming time. These NMs exhibit significant contrast in regard to dimension, reaction, and structure. The most important aspect of the NMs is that these can be easily manipulated and engineered to custom-suit different functions/industries. Owing totheir dynamic nature, these NMs behave differently when introduced in any medium. In soil, the behavior of NMs is significantly controlled by the interactions of nanomaterials with soil phases. Although, NMs are deemed beneficial for human-use yet these also carry lethal effects. Moreover, there is dearth of adequate research with respect to the interactions amongnanomaterials and soil physicochemical properties; their accumulation-dissolution dynamics in soil-plant systems; and their long term influence on soil health. Several NMs induce physiological stress when introduced inside the body. Thus, various researchers have devised green pathways for producing NMs, although their wide applicability is still questionable. Although the domain of nanotechnology is greatly explored yet there remain several grey areaswhich need to be addressed for sustainable utilization of these unique materials in the benefit of humankind.

Cloud Computing (CC) has drawn the attention in global business level. It is another age of computing systems, progressively creating a promising answer to computing complexity and increasing size of data. Although the evolution has not reached the maturity level but still there is adequate research about this topic. The study is proposed to identify the factors, which influences cloud computing adoption (CCA) in India through ethical context. Research was conducted using methodology of quantitative technique, which was based on study of 149 respondents from different industries in India. A research model was proposed which consisted of 6 hypothesis and then tested through multiple regression methods and factor analysis. The findings of the study shows that reliance on technology, proscriptive pressure and control are significant contributors and functional creep, compliance and educational pressure were insignificant contributors. It classifies probable advantages and probable ethical or moral issues for would be clients, particularly in the field of business.
