The objective was to determine the consumption of natural products and its effects on Covid-19, in the district of Barranca. Data was collected on people of legal age, who said they had had symptoms of Covid-19, than having consumed natural products. The information collection process was from September 2020 to January 2021, in a total of 200 people per month of both sexes, who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. For which, instruments such as the survey on the consumption of natural products and how many alleviated the symptoms were used. Once the data were obtained, they were processed with basic statistics, correlation analysis and analysis of variance. The results determined that in January the consumption of matico, eucalyptus, scorzonera and huamanripa increased 16, 14 and 13 persons respectively, consumption of ginger, garlic and tocosh 32, 45 and 36 persons respectively, consumption of bee honey 88 persons, in percentage of natural products consumption increased to 77% and the percentage of persons who "alleviated symptoms" to 83%. Regarding the correlation of the consumption of natural products with people who alleviated symptoms where the average r = 0.98, which indicates a high association. It is concluded that the consumption of natural products had significance to alleviate the symptoms.

Introduction of Canadian provenances of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mir / Franco) in Serbia started with the first phase of testing their genetic potential by studying the effects of geographic characteristics of the locations from which the provenances originated (latitude, longitude and altitude) on the variability of the measured seedling properties. In the laboratory of the Institute for Forestry in Belgrade, germinability of Douglas-fir seeds was tested on the germination table ("Copenhagen table" or "Jakobson table") by the standards of ISTA. The analysis of variance and the regression and correlation analysis were applied in the study of the effects of geographic parameters of Canadian provenance locations on the variability of seedlings. The results show that there is a statistically significant effect of the provenance latitude on the length of seedlings. The effect of altitude is slightly smaller, while the longitude of the provenance location has the smallest effect on the studied property. The study of the variability of Douglas-fir provenances in their juvenile development, as seedlings, is essential for reliable planning and implementation of further tests within pilot projects on allochthonous sites in Serbia.

Context:Research indicates that planned and reactive agility are different athletic skills. These skills have not been adequately assessed in male basketball players.Purpose:To define whether 10-m-sprint performance and planned and reactive agility measured by the Y-shaped agility test can discriminate between semiprofessional and amateur basketball players.Methods:Ten semiprofessional and 10 amateur basketball players completed 10-m sprints and planned- and reactive-agility tests. The Y-shaped agility test involved subjects sprinting 5 m through a trigger timing gate, followed by a 45° cut and 5-m sprint to the left or right through a target gate. In the planned condition, subjects knew the cut direction. For reactive trials, subjects visually scanned to find the illuminated gate. A 1-way analysis of variance (P < .05) determined between-groups differences. Data were pooled (N = 20) for a correlation analysis (P < .05).Results:The reactive tests differentiated between the groups; semiprofessional players were 6% faster for the reactive left (P = .036) and right (P = .029) cuts. The strongest correlations were between the 10-m sprints and planned-agility tests (r = .590–.860). The reactive left cut did not correlate with the planned tests. The reactive right cut moderately correlated with the 10-m sprint and planned right cut (r = .487–.485).Conclusions:The results reemphasized that planned and reactive agility are separate physical qualities. Reactive agility discriminated between the semiprofessional and amateur basketball players; planned agility did not. To distinguish between male basketball players of different ability levels, agility tests should include a perceptual and decision-making component.

In this paper, we present a method for empirically measuring the extent to which social institutions actively cooperate in the provision of public information. The method described here allows researchers to collect accurate empirical data corresponding to specific items of requested information to produce presentable meta-data on the information collection process. The data are extracted from communication chains and generated by tracking each unitary item of requested information in an item chain. After describing the data collection process and how the data are indexed using a three-figure tag, we explain how the collected data can be used to produce aggregated passive transparency ratings for institutions across content topics and for content topics across institutions. The article ends with a discussion of the social value of using transparency data, and the benefits that might be derived from institutional and content-specific passive transparency ratings.

Seed yield and seed quality determine much of the value of rice (Oryza sativa L.) crops to the producers. The effects of genotype and environment on seed yield and quality were investigated using 12 rice genotypes grown during 3 years (2000–2003) at four different sowing dates in India, where detailed environmental data were collected. Yield, seed weight, proportion of seed setting and quality in terms of potential seed longevity, proportion of discoloured seeds, seed leachate conductivity and percentage germination were evaluated. The results were subjected to analysis of variance and the influence of environmental factors was evaluated by correlation analysis. Analysis of variance suggested that proportion of seed setting, seed leachate conductivity, potential seed longevity, percentage seed germination and proportion of seed discoloration were influenced more by environmental effects than by genotypic effects. In contrast, yield, panicle number, seed weight, and proportion of high-density grains were influenced more by genotypic than by environmental effects. The significant interaction effects of genotype and environment for all characteristics were attributed to differential resistance of genotypes to lodging (caused by increased plant height, low radiation and excessive rain at the time of grain filling) and were associated with fewer panicles harvested, lower seed setting and lower seed weight. Correlation analysis suggested that warm weather conditions with high solar radiation and without excessive rains during grain filling stage gave the best rice seed yield with high quality.

Board Characteristics

This paper investigates five important characteristics of board committee members of various committees in public listed companies in Malaysia. The five characteristics include director type, tenure, age, internal activity and external activity. Sample of 111 listed companies were collected using simple random five sampling of the annual reports based on financial year 2005 posted online. Sample includes 6 committees with the highest frequency of occurrences – audit, remuneration, nomination, stock option, risk management and executive. Data collected was analyzed using tests of correlation, analysis of variance and regression. The results, however, do not support the hypothesis that members of committees tend to be non-executive directors, older, have longer tenure and show greater evidence of internal and external activities.

PurposeResearch on cross-modal sensory interactions has shown that visual aspects of food can influence consumer's expectation and perception of taste, mouthfeel and liking. This paper aims to investigate the effects of a rounded (“bouba”) and a squared (“kiki”) shape on expected and perceived sweetness, bitterness, creaminess and liking of chocolates.Design/methodology/approachBrazilian consumers (N = 230) divided into two groups of 115 individuals each evaluated five chocolates containing 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70% of cocoa. One of the groups evaluated all formulations in the rounded shape and the other in the squared shape. Results were analysed with mixed multivariate analysis of variance (mixed-MANOVA) between shapes, repeated-measures MANOVA between pre- and post-tasting and Pearson's correlation analysis was performed between liking ratings and sweetness, bitterness and creaminess confirmation/disconfirmation.FindingsThe study found significant effects (p < 0.05) of shape on expected and perceived creaminess but not on other attributes; of cocoa percentage (30, 40, 50, 60 and 70%) on all four attributes; and time (pre- and post-tasting) on sweetness, bitterness and liking but not creaminess. Finally, it found significant negative correlations between the creaminess difference indices and the liking ratings for the 30, 50 and 60% chocolates.Originality/valueThis study reports that consumers may expect and perceive chocolates as creamier in a rounded shape than in an angular shape and that if the expectation of creaminess is not confirmed by sensory perception, acceptability may be negatively affected.

ObjectivesThe study aimed to document the association between intussusception in Indian children and meteorological parameters and examine regional variations.DesignA bidirectional (retrospective and prospective) surveillance between July 2010 and September 2017.SettingAt 20 hospitals in India, retrospective case record review during July 2010 and March 2016 and prospective surveillance during April 2016 and September 2017 were performed.Participants2161 children aged 2–24 months with first intussusception episode were included.InterventionsThe monthly mean meteorological parameters (temperature, sunshine, rainfall, humidity and wind speed) for the study sites were collected.MethodsThe association between monthly intussusception cases and meteorological parameters was examined at pooled, regional and site levels using Pearson (r) and Spearman’s rank-order (ρ) correlation, factorial analysis of variance, and Poisson regression or negative binomial regression analyses.ResultsThe intussusception cases were highest in summer and lowest in autumn seasons. Pearson correlation analysis showed that temperature (r=0.056; p<0.05), wind speed (r=0.134; p<0.01) and humidity (r=0.075; p<0.01) were associated with monthly intussusception cases. Spearman’s rank-order correlation analysis found that temperature (ρ=0.049; p<0.05), wind speed (ρ=0.096; p<0.01) and sunshine (ρ=0.051; p<0.05) were associated with monthly intussusception cases. Poisson regression analysis resulted that monthly intussusception case was associated with rising temperature (North region, p<0.01 and East region, p<0.05), sunshine (North region, p<0.01), humidity (East region, p<0.01) and wind speed (East region, p<0.01). Factorial analysis of variance revealed a significant seasonal difference in intussusception cases for pooled level (p<0.05), 2–6 months age group (p<0.05) and North region (p<0.01). Significant differences in intussusception cases between summer and autumn seasons were observed for pooled (p<0.01), children aged 2–6 months (p<0.05) and 7–12 months (p<0.05).ConclusionsSignificant correlations between intussusception cases and temperature, humidity, and wind speed were observed at pooled and regional level in India. A peak in summer months was noted, which may be used for prediction, early detection and referral for appropriate management of intussusception.
