An experiment was conducted to determine the optimum ethephon concentration on olive fruit harvesting at different Jordan locations. The study was carried out on Nabali olive cultivar at “Irbid and Ajlon” locations. Treatments were consisted of five ethephon concentrations, which are: 0, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 ppm, each concentration was repeated 4 times. 10 days after ethephon applications, data were collected and analyzed according to the randomized completely block design. Results revealed that all of the used ethephon concentrations promote leaf drop, which remains within the acceptable ranges in both locations. Although, ethephon dosage had significant effects on harvesting productivity at 0.05 levels; best results were obtained by using 3000 ppm concentration at Irbid location, while at Ajlon; best results were observed with treating the olive fruits with 4000 ppm ethephon concentration. On the other hand, positive correlation were observed between the percent of leaf drop and the total harvested fruits

The standard Bender test and its repetition on Canter's BIP paper along with the WAIS Vocabulary and Block Designs were administered to 16 senile and 17 healthy elderly Ss. The defects of the senile Ss were clearly revealed by the tests but the conventional use of Bender error scores and the discrepancy between Vocabulary and Block Design scores would also identify at least a fourth of the healthy elderly as having mild to moderate deficit consistent with organic brain damage. On the other hand, the BIP reflected the normal perceptuomotor performance of the healthy Ss while retaining sensitivity to the degree of organicity of the senile Ss.

Ti-in-biotite geothermometry in non-graphitic, peraluminous metapelites from Crni vrh and Resavski humovi (Central Serbia)The study discusses the application of the Ti-in-biotite geothermometer of Henry et al. (2005) to the example of biotites from non-graphitic peraluminous micaschists of Central Serbia. Three petrographically different micaschists were distinguished on the basis of the following mineral assemblages: CV1 (St-Grt-Bt-Ms-Pg-Pl-Qtz), CV2 (Grt-St-Ky-Bt-Ms-Pl-Qtz) and RH (Grt-St-Bt-Ms-Pl-Qtz). Applying different geothermobarometers it was estimated that the studied micaschists were metamorphosed at average temperatures and pressures of 530 °C and 520 MPa (CV1incl), 580 °C and 670 MPa (CV1), 630 °C and 700 MPa (CV2) and 550 °C, 680 MPa (RH). The average temperatures obtained by the Ti-in-biotite method revealed uniform values for CV1 and CV2 micaschists and these values are very similar to the temperatures obtained by other methods. In contrast, the application of Ti-in-biotite geothermometer for RH micaschist yields the temperature difference of 85-110 °C. The variability of temperature is interpreted as a result of a positive correlation of Ti contents and XMgvalues in RH biotite, which is in disagreement with the principles of the Ti-in-biotite method. The positive Ti-XMgcorrelation is a result of the compositional variability shown by RH biotites from different samples, which can possibly be related to compositional inhomogeneities of the pelitic protolith. On the other hand, the Ti-in-biotite geothermometer for CV2 biotite gave very uniform temperatures despite variable Ti contents (Ti = 0.260, sd = 0.018 apfu). This is explained as result of the low sensitivity of Ti-in-biotite geothermometer for high Ti concentrations (> 0.25 apfu).

Overconfident managers create biases that make them overvalue their company and its investments. This study takes a sample of companies that are listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange, for the years 2013-2017. Companies that are listed on the LQ 45 index have high liquidity so that the stock is active so it doesn't interfere with the accuracy of the research being carried out. The results showed that internal funding has a significant posi-tive relationship with company investment. This shows that the more internal financing, the greater the scale of the investment the company will make. Internal financing and overinvestment have a significant positive correlation. So that companies tend to over-invest. Internal finance has a dual role to play in investment. One side of the bias to im-prove investment efficiency by increasing the scale of investment and reducing the scale of investment, on the other hand it can cause excessive investment.DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/afr.v3i2.3834

Abstract. α-MSH, ACTH and β-endorphin were measured by radioimmunoassay in samples of amniotic fluid collected from the 32nd to the 38th gestational week and at labour from normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by gestosis. In normal pregnancies, the concentration of α-MSH, ACTH and β-endorphin remained relatively constant during the last 7 gestational weeks, but increased at labour above the values of the 38th week by 88, 143 and 96%, respectively. A positive correlation between β-endorphin and α-MSH (r=0.92) or ACTH (r=0.76) levels was found when labour values were considered in the regression analysis. In contrast, when labour values were excluded, only a poor positive correlation between β-endorphin and α-MSH (r=0.52) was found. In complicated pregnancies, α-MSH and ACTH concentrations were similar to those found in normal pregnancies; on the other hand, the level of β-endorphin, was found to be 130% higher than normal. As in normal pregnancies, α-MSH, ACTH and β-endorphin levels increased at labour, but only by 46, 44 and 23%, respectively. In contrast to in normal pregnancies, the correlation between β-endorphin and α-MSH or ACTH was not significantly modified by labour values. The present results confirm and extend previous studies showing that β-endorphin may be considered a marker of fetal distress and that the fetal pituitary is capable of reacting to stressful stimuli in normal and suffering fetuses.

Abstract Background: Headache has a variety of types, such as Migraine and chronic daily headache (CDH) in its primary form. There is a positive correlation between these two types of headaches and hypertension (HTN), but in some works this correlation has been reported negatively. Therefore, we planned to study HTN-Migraine as well as HTN-CDH correlation in our population.Methods: A sample of Rafsanjan population (10000 individuals) entered the cohort study, as a part of the prospective epidemiological research studies in IrAN (PERSIAN). In this population, we compared the frequency of HTN categories in cases with Migraine and CDH with a normal population (without Migraine).Results: Out of 9990 participants (46.6% males and 53.4% females) about 29% had Migraine and 7.5 % had CDH.HTN was found in 24.27% of Migraine and 31.98% of CDH cases. HTN was also found to be associated with Migraine and CDH in the crude model. Two Categories of HTN (Long controlled and uncontrolled) were not associated with Migraine. On the other hand, CDH showed associations with all the HTN categories. Moreover, in a model, which included all variables and confounders, Migraine and CDH had association with HTN without any considerable changes.Conclusion: Our study showed that there is strong HTN-Migraine as well as HTN-CDH correlations in the studied population.

Identification of high N-fixing groundnut genotypes and integrating them into the prevailing cereal-based cropping systems can reduce the need for nitrogen (N) fertilizers, thus minimizing their high cost and associated environmental consequences. This study was conducted to estimate the amount of symbiotically fixed N by groundnut genotypes and its contribution to soil N and yield of groundnut. Trials were carried out during the 2015 rainy season at Bayero University Kano (BUK) Agricultural Research Farm and the research farm of the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Samaru-Zaria. The treatments comprised of 15 groundnut genotypes (ICG 4729, ICGV-IS 07823, ICGV-IS 07893, ICGV-IS 07908, ICGV- SM 07539, ICGV- SM 07599, ICGV-IS 09926, ICGV-IS 09932, ICGV-IS 09992, ICGV-IS 09994, SAMNUT-21, SAMNUT-22, SAMNUT-25, KAMPALA and KWANKWASO) arranged in a randomized complete block design in three replicates. Data on nodulation, nitrogen fixation and N balance were collected. The results of the study showed that ICGV-IS 09932 significantly fixed the highest amount of N at IAR location while the lowest was obtained in KWANKWASO. On the other hand, SAMNUT-22 fixed the highest N among the genotypes while ICGV- SM 07539 fixed the lowest N in BUK location. Similarly, SAMNUT-22 which fixed moderate to high amount of N but low to moderate NHI was the best genotype that imparted positively to soil N balance among the genotypes when only the grains were removed across the locations. On the other hand, SAMNUT-21 which fixed low to high amount of N to the soil but accumulated low N in its grains was the best genotype that left fairly close to zero nitrogen balance, even though imparted negatively on soil N balance when both grains and haulms were removed.

Background: The problem of composite resin filling is the longer time consumed for incremental application. Bulk-fill composite resins were introduced to the market as substitutes for dental amalgam for restoration of posterior teeth. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the curing depth and degree of conversion of two bulk-fill composite resins. Materials and methods: . Specimens of specific dimensions were prepared from Glacier and SureFil (universal shade, A2), they classified as bulk-fill composite resins. Depth of cure, degree of conversion at different thicknesses for each material (2,3,4,5 and 6 mm) for each thickness separately. The curing depth was determined by the scrapping method (ISO 4049, 2000). The degree of conversion was measured by the Buker FTIR Spectroscopy. Results: The results indicated that, Glacier composite resin has greater curing depth than that of SureFil composite resin. Glacier composite resin was cured above 6 mm thickness, while SureFil composite resin was cured above 5 mm. In general, the degree of conversion was different at the different thicknesses of the materials. SureFil composite resin showed highest degree of conversion at 3 mm followed by 2 mm thickness, while the lowest degree of conversion was noted at 6 mm thickness. Glacier composite resin has the highest degree of conversion at 3 mm followed by 2 mm thickness, while the lowest degree of conversion was noted at 6 mm thickness. SureFil showed positive correlation between the depth of cure and the degree of conversion. Glacier composite resin showed no significant correlation between the depth of cure and degree of conversion. Conclusions: The studied bulk-fill composite resins, cured up to 5mm to 6mm thicknesses. 2 and 3mm thicknesses adequately polymerized than 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm thicknesses. The degree of conversion of 2 mm and 3 mm thicknesses was greater than that of the other thicknesses. There was positive correlation between the degree of conversion and curing depth of SureFil composite resin. On the other hand, Glacier composite resin showed no significant correlation between the depth of cure and degree of conversion.
