Dengue Vector Control

The control of dengue relies on the elimination of vector breeding sites. This study identified the container categories most productive for A. aegypti within the framework of the São Paulo dengue vector control program (DVCP) in São Sebastião, a large city located on the state’s coast where dengue cases have occurred since 2001. Containers were inspected monthly for the occurrence of mosquito immature stages during two consecutive vector-breeding seasons in 2002–2004. Containers were classified by their material, use, and fixed or removable status. Pupal productivity differed significantly among container types, items made of metal and plastic, and boats being those with the highest relative contribution. Significant correlations between traditional indices of A. aegypti abundance (Container Index, House Index, and Breteau Index) and pupal productivity/demographic indices (Pupae/Container, Pupae/House, Pupae/ha, and Pupae/Person) ranged 0.56–0.65; correlations were not statistically significant for any combination involving the Pupae/Container index. The assessment of pupal productivity indices could be incorporated into the DVCP without any additional operational onus, allowing vector control managers to determine appropriate control actions targeting the most productive containers and sites. Further studies are needed to assess whether pupal productivity indices may be used as epidemiological indicators of risk of dengue transmission.

This study examines the post-graduation plans of international science and engineering doctoral students at a public research-intensive university, and the extent to which graduate school experiences influence post-graduation plans. The study is grounded in Tinto’s Integration Model as well as Berry’s Acculturation Model. Study findings highlight the variety of challenges international doctoral students go through such as adapting to a new culture, experiencing English language difficulties, and cultural, social, and academic adjustment barriers. Using survey data collected in 2013-2014, this study reveals the complexity of factors that affect post-graduation plans and need for institutional initiatives to provide socio-cultural and academic support, and recommends changes in immigration policies to sustain the retention of talented international scientists and engineers upon degree completion.

Вивчення батьківських компонентів є важливимнапрямом досліджень. Використання в якості ма-теринської форми лінії ЧС 94 дозволяє створюва-ти гетерозисні гібриди з високим рівнем продук-тивності. Авторами вивчено вплив поліпшеної закомплексом селекційно-генетичних ознак стериль-ної лінії на прояв господарськи цінних ознак устворених гібридів цукрових буряків. Проведеновипробування отриманих гібридів та оціненопоказники їх продуктивності. Лінію ЧС 94рекомендовано залучати до селекційного процесу зформування високопродуктивних гібридів буряківцукрових нового покоління. Studying of parent components is an important direction for research. Using МС 94 line as a mother form makes it possible to create geterosis hybrids with high productivity. The authors investigated the influence of the improved in the complex of selection-genetic features sterile line as to their commercially valuablecharacteristics in the process of creating sugar beet hybrids. Testing of the received hybrids was conducted and their productivity indices were evaluated. MС 94 line is recommended to be involved in the selection process for the formation of highly productive sugar beet hybrids of new generation.
