Skin color is an important economic trait in meat-type chickens. A uniform bright skin color can increase the sales value of chicken. Chickens with bright yellow skin are more popular in China, especially in the broiler market of South China. However, the skin color of chickens can vary because of differences in breeds, diet, health, and individual genetics. To obtain greater insight into the genetic factors associated with the process of skin pigmentation in chickens, we used a colorimeter and high-resolution skin photographs to measure and analyze the skin color of chickens. By analyzing 534 chickens of the same breed, age, and feed condition, we found that the yellowness values of the chickens varied within this population. A significant positive correlation was found between the cloacal skin yellowness values before and after slaughter, and the cloacal skin yellowness value of live chickens was positively correlated with the overall body skin yellowness value. Additionally, chicken skin yellowness exhibited low heritability, ranging from 0.07 to 0.27. Through RNA sequencing, 882 genes were found to be differentially expressed between the skin with the highest and lowest yellowness values. Some of these differentially expressed genes may play an important role in yellow pigment deposition in chicken skin, which included TLR2B, IYD, SMOC1, ALDH1A3, CYP11A1, FHL2, TECRL, ACACB, TYR, PMEL, and GPR143. In addition, we found that the expression and variations of the BCO2 gene, which is referred to as the yellow skin gene, cannot be used to estimate the skin yellowness value of chickens in this population. These data will help to further our understanding of chicken skin yellowness and might contribute to the selection of specific chicken strains with consistent skin coloration.

This paper reviews a purposive sample of 23 doctoral dissertations in second language (L2) education, completed between 2009 and 2013 and published in Germany. From amongst all (approx. 70) relevant dissertations from this period, the following three broad thematic strands can be identified, for which a selection of exemplary dissertations was chosen to review: (1) Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL); (2) learning and teaching about culture in the language classroom; and (3) language teacher education. Categorization of themes was guided by a bottom-up approach, clustering thematically (rather than methodologically) similar works. We identify relevant topics and link these with trends in research methodology (qualitative/quantitative/mixed-methods). We also discuss the depth and breadth of these dissertations and situate their scholarly contributions within German and international research on language education.

Topical creams used to treat and prevent melasma and freckles contain corticosteroids, hydroquinone, mercury, and retinoic to lighten skin color. Misuse of these products and the rate of adverse effects have increased greatly in recent years. This study aims to assess the misuse of topical cream to prevent and treat melasma and freckles among working women in northeast Thailand. Our population consisted of 1,143 working women in the region aged 30-59 years old. The respondents were recruited from four provinces eight districts using a structured questionnaire distributed via a multi-stage random sampling method. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to represent and analyze the data. Eight hundred sixty-two (75.42%) of the respondents were users, and 105 (12.18%) had misused the products. The prevalence of misuse of products containing mercury, steroids, hydroquinone, retinoic acid, and mercury plus retinoic acid was 43.8%, 11.43%, 15.24%, 12.38%, and 17.15%, respectively. Factors associated with misuse of this product were age 30-44 years, education level less than a bachelor’s degree, working as a housekeeper or freelancer, presence of melasma and freckles, average monthly income ≤ 15,000 THB and low levels of knowledge and health literacy. Misuse of medication to treat pigmentary disorders is a growing public health concern. Social media and nonprofit campaigns should be implemented to create awareness of these products' misuse and adverse effects.

ABSTRAK. Arumanis 143 merupakan varietas mangga unggul nasional yang memiliki kualitas buah cukup baik dan sudah dikenal di pasar, tetapi tingkat produktivitasnya masih rendah dan kulit buah tetap berwarna hijau walaupun sudah masak. Persilangan antara mangga Arumanis dengan varietas yang lebih produktif dan berwarna merah merupakan salah satu cara untuk memperbaiki produktivitas dan mengubah warna menjadi merah. Penelitian dilakukan mulai Januari sampai dengan Desember 2006 di Laboratorium Balai Penelitian Tanaman Buah Tropika Solok dan Balai Besar Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pascapanen Pertanian  untuk menyeleksi secara dini karakter produktif dan warna merah pada kulit buah terhadap 19 semaian hibrida F1 hasil persilangan antara induk Arumanis 143 dengan mangga-mangga Cukurgondang melalui analisis aktivitas enzim esterase dan kandungan antosianin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 19 semaian hibrida F1 ada empat semaian yang produktivitasnya lebih rendah dan 15 semaian yang produktivitasnya lebih tinggi dari tetua induk Arumanis 143. Dari 15 semaian ada lima semaian yang sangat produktif karena aktivitas enzim esterasenya lebih tinggi daripada standar (tetua paling produktif yaitu Keith), sehingga dapat dijadikan sebagai kandidat varietas mangga Arumanis yang produktif. Kelima semaian tersebut  berasal dari persilangan  nomor 25, 33, 35, 47, dan 50. Hasil analisis kandungan antosianin menunjukkan bahwa hampir seluruh semaian hibrida F1 memiliki kandungan antosianin lebih tinggi dari induk Arumanis 143, tetapi yang memiliki kandungan antosianin lebih tinggi dari standar (Apel dan Khirsapati Maldah) ada empat semaian, yaitu hibrida dari persilangan nomor 20, 25, 44, dan 48. Keempat  semaian tersebut selanjutnya dikategorikan sebagai kandidat varietas mangga Arumanis yang kulit buahnya berpotensi berwarna merah. Khusus semaian hibrida F1 dari persilangan no 25 selain lebih produktif juga kulit buahnya berpotensi berwarna merah.<br /><br />ABSTRACT. Jawal, M Anwarudin Syah, Sukartini, Sunarwati, D, Rebin, and Sutrisno, N 2012. The Early Selection of Mango Hybrids which Productive and  Red Skin Fruit by Activity of Esterase Enzymes and Anthocyanin Content. The Arumanis 143 is a national superior mango cultivar which have a good quality and marketable, but the low productivity and green of skin fruit. The hybridization of Arumanis 143 cultivar with the productive cultivars and red skin mango is a method to improved the productivity and change the skin color to red on Arumanis cultivar. Early selection on productivity character and red skin color of mango based on esterase enzyme activity and anthocyanin content on hybrid F1 seedling by crossing Arumanis 143 with the productive cultivars and red skin mango. The research was conducted at Laboratory of Indonesian Tropical Fruits Research Institute Solok and Postharvest Research and Development Institute Bogor from January to December 2006. The objective of the research was to early selection of productivity character and red skin color of mango on 19 hybrids F1 by activities of esterase enzyme and anthocyanin content. The results analysis of  esterase enzyme activity showed that there were five seedlings hybrids F1 which activity of esterase enzyme higher than standard (Keith) i.e. hybrid number 25, 33, 35, 47, and 50. Those five seedlings hybrid can be determined as productive candidate of Arumanis mango cultivars. The results analysis of anthocyanin content showed that there were four seedlings hybrids F1 which anthocyanin content higher than standard (Apel and Khirsapati Maldah) i.e. hybrid number 20, 25, 44, and 48. The four seedlings hybrid can be determined as red skin of mango candidate of Arumanis cultivars. The seedlings number 25 have high of esterase enzyme activity and anthocyanin content, thus could be determined as Arumanis cultivars which productive and red skin mango.<br /><br />

AbstractThe wide railway universe, with its particular and peculiar characteristics, requires the implementation of criteria to improve the identification and conservation of cultural goods. Recently concepts of authenticity, integrity and cultural significance have been identified as fundamental in the selection of the cultural heritage of humanity. Although we find these concepts being analyzed in theory as independents, through a theoretical-methodological reflection, this PhD research argues that, in practice, they are interconnected, and therefore should be approached together. Following the contemporary theory of conservation, my doctoral research aims at contributing to the conservation of railways’ heritage using this new approach, by proposing new indicators as assessment tools so that conservation institutions will be able to identify railway goods as cultural heritage. The research uses the Railway Complex of Barreiro, in Portugal, as a case study.

The article is devoted to the study of advertising transformation under the influence of new trends of consumption as a social action. It is highlighted that the current socio-economic situation is creating new subjects for the analysis of already well-known objects. The place and role of advertising in modern society is certainly based on its market principles in the past, but today it is necessary to take into account a set of influencing factors that were previously mutually exclusive but are now indivisible. The greatest influence is exerted by the socio-cultural aspect of consumer behavior, which is based on values and motivators that come from the lifestyle in a qualitatively new external environment. It means that they are not limited to market transactions. Moreover, in today's conditions, social stratification has receded into the background and is not among the main factors of influence. This transformation of understanding the practice of consumption allows to reasonably recruit and use advertising tools to increase their effectiveness. It is determined that during forming an advertising campaign it is necessary to consider the impact on consumer behavior of modern information technology, namely the selection of the necessary information from the large amount that is available. A large amount of information creates an ambiguous situation for the consumer. This requires the integration of advertising tools. It is established that the parallel use of several advertising media allows to carry out the influence similarly to the technology of purposeful management. The availability of technical means that quickly realize the desire can be recommended for both long-term brand communication and for the short term.
