Members of the staff of Harvard Medical School will present a general review course in pediatrics June 6 to 18, 1960, inclusive, from 9:15 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. The course will provide emphasis on recent advances and therapy. The first 7 days are devoted to pediatric medical, surgical, orthopedic, cardiac, allergic, dermatologic, psychiatric, eye, ear and x-ray problems. The last 4 days concentrate on disorders of growth and development, common endocrine problems, and the metabolic aspects of infant feeding, parenteral fluid therapy and management of patients with nephritis and diabetes.

The effectiveness of two application methods of the growth regulator paclobutrazol on the growth of Chrysanthemum plants, Dendranthema ×grandiflora (Ramat) (cv. `Fina' and `Cream Dana') were compared. Plants were grown in containers with their interior covered by a mixture of flat latex paint and several concentrations of paclobutrazol (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 150, 160, and 200 mg·L–1) or were treated with a soil drench of the growth regulator according to label recommendations (59 ml/container of paclobutrazol solution at 4 mg·L–1). Plants grown in containers with the paint–paclobutrazol mix at concentrations >80 mg·L–1 were shorter than plants given the control and paint only treatments but taller than plants given the drench treatment. Increasing paclobutrazol concentrations in paint from 100 to 150 and 200 mg·L–1 did not produce proportionately shorter plants. Paint alone had no effect on growth and development. Plants subject to growth regulator treatments appeared greener than the control plants. None of the plants given treatments with paint with or without paclobutrazol showed any sign of phytotoxicity. These results suggest the possibility of a new application method for systemic chemicals with the potential of reducing or eliminating worker protection standard restricted entry intervals and reducing the release of chemicals to the environment. Chemical name used: beta-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-α-(1,1-dimethyl)-1H-1,2,4,-triazole-1-ethanol (paclobutrazol).

The paper covers research data on technology elaboration of new biological preparation Microhumin. It was shown that combination of biologically active biohumus extract with the suspension of active nitrogen fixing strain of azospirills in certain ratio results in creation of preparation performing additive stimulatory effect on growth and development of spring barley plants and activity of associative nitrogen fixation.

The gadget utilization among preschoolers in connection with technological advances is known to have positive and negative effects on growth and development. This study aims to identify the overview of gadget utilization and its effect on growth and development in preschool children. An analytic survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted by filling out questionnaires carried out by parents. The anthropometric measurements and developmental assessments were carried out using Indonesia Developmental Pre-screening Questionnaire (IDPQ). A hundred children and their parents participated in this study. It was found that 82% of parents lent their gadgets, and 89% taught their children to use gadgets. There were similarities in gadget utilization between parents and children, namely watching videos (73% and 90%) and communicating (92% and 40.4%). The duration of the gadget utilization by children was high, 3.7±2.2 hours/day. However, no significant correlation in the analysis between the duration of smartphone usage and nutritional status (p: 0.599). In children with different IDPQ values, there was no significant difference in the duration of device usage (p: 0.991). It can concluded the duration of the gadget utilization in children carried out by their parents did not affect the growth and development of the children.

Controlled environment experiments were carried out to determine the effect of temperature and photoperiod on Astrebla pectinata, A. lappacea, A. elymoides, and A. squarrosa. Photoperiod had little effect on growth and development of tillers and on floral initiation, but did affect numbers of emergent inflorescences. Usually, inflorescence production increased with decreasing photoperiod. Temperature had significant effects on all parameters measured (number of main tillers and emergent inflorescences, elongation of main tillers, and number of leaves and axillary tillers per main tiller). Growth per tiller and leaf production increased with temperature (up to 30/25�C) but for tiller numbers the optimum was about 28/23�, Geographically separated strains of A. pectinata generally exhibited similar responses to photoperiod and temperature while different species from the same location differed in their response.
