New perspectives and approaches in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria research
2007
International audience; In the context of increasing international concern for food and environmental quality, use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture is a potentially important issue. PGPR are root-colonizing bacteria that exert beneficial effects on plant growth and development, but they can be also employed in the control of plant pathogens, for enhancing the efficiency of fertilizers, and for degrading xenobiotic compounds. This book provides an update by renowned international experts on the most recent advances in the ecology of these important bacteria, the application of innovative methodologies for their study, their interactio…
Methods for studying root colonization by introduced beneficial bacteria
2003
e-Book; Some free-living rhizobacteria are considered as potential biocontrol and plant growth-promoting agents. Successful application of beneficial bacteria as microbial inoculants requires their presence and activity at the appropriate level, but even more, at the right time and place. Various markers are described in the literature to differentiate introduced bacteria from indigenous microflora and to visualize them. These markers are presented together with the methods currently applied to quantify bacterial densities and to characterize the distribution of introduced bacteria. The methods to quantify bacterial densities are either based on bacterial cultivation or not. Different types…

Services provided by soil microorganisms to improve plant phosphate nutrition
2022
Since the first Green Revolution, agricultural practices have been based on the massive use of synthetic fertilisers and plant protection products. Since then, global consumption of phosphate fertilisers has more than tripled, reaching 47 million tonnes in 2019. Current projections estimate that phosphate rock stocks (natural phosphorus resources for fertiliser production) could be depleted within the next century, leading us to change our agricultural practices. In soils, P is mainly present in complexed forms that are not easily accessible to plants. To reduce the use of phosphate fertilisers, it is necessary to make this complexed phosphate accessible to plants. This can be done by benef…

The Influence of Brassinosteroid, a Growth-promoting Steroidal Lactone, on Development and CO2-fixation Capacity of Intact Wheat and Mustard Seedlings
1984
In 1970, Mitchell et al. isolated a lipoidal complex from the pollen of rape (Brassica napus L.). This complex, called “Brassins” was found to have partly powerful growth-promoting properties. The novel growth response of young bean plants in the second internode assay (Worley, Mitchell 1971; Mitchell, Gregory 1972) and other physiological changes following Brassin-treatment have been studied under several aspects (Krizek, Worley 1981; Gregory 1981).
La participación de la ciudadanía en los procesos de diseño de las políticas públicas de empleo. El caso del litoral sur de Alicante
2019
La presente investigación tiene como finalidad describir cómo la ciudadanía ha contribuido a la elaboración de un Diagnóstico Territorial de Empleo (DET) promovido por la Generalitat Valenciana, previo al diseño de futuras políticas públicas para el fomento del empleo, en tres municipios alicantinos. Se consiguió a través de una Investigación-Acción-Participación (IAP). Se realizaron talleres participativos y grupos focales que sirvieron para que la ciudadanía conociese de la existencia del proyecto y sus fines, además de aportar su experiencia, opinión y plantear posibles soluciones a la problemática del empleo en estos municipios. Se puede concluir que la ciudadanía está capacitada para a…
Health Literacy Among University Students: A Systematic Review of Cross-Sectional Studies
2022
Objective The aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview of cross-sectional studies that examined health literacy among university students and to identify possible determinants related to health literacy. Method The current review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were systematically searched for cross-sectional studies that examined health literacy among university students. Results of included studies were narratively summarized. Results The systematic review includes twenty-one research studies. The majority of studies report health literacy scores…
Vispārējās nodarbinātības prasmju attīstības veicināšana studiju procesā augstskolā (Gruzijas gadījums)
2018
Jaunam absolventam vairs nav pietiekamas zināšanas par akadēmisko priekšmetu, jo mūsdienu izaicinošā pasaule ir izrādījusi, ka prasmju apgūšana arvien vairāk ir svarīga 21. gadsimta audzēkņiem, kuri, domājams, tiek attīstīti vienā īpašu kontekstu (mūsu gadījumā augstākās izglītības iestādēs), un pēc tam tos varētu pārveidot citās situācijās, piemēram, nodarbinātībā vai dzīvē kopumā. Tā kā sugas nodarbinātības prasmes (pārnesamas prasmes, vispārīgās prasmes, pamatprasmes, dzīves prasmes, 21. gadsimta iemaņas vai pamatprasmes), jo dažādie autori to dažādos veidos marķē, šajā rakstā tiek izmantotas "vispārējās nodarbinātības prasmes" ir būtiski, lai efektīvi veiktu ne tikai darba vietā, bet ar…
Promotion of learner autonomy in the EFL classroom : the students' view
2013
Oppijan autonomisuudella tarkoitetaan oppijan sisäistä kykyä hallita omaa oppimistaan, eli kykyä asettaa omia oppimistarpeita vastaavia tavoitteita, toimia näiden tavoitteiden mukaisesti, ja arvioida omaa etenemistä. Kirjallisuuden mukaan formaali opetus voi joko edistää tai ehkäistä oppijan autonomisuuden kehitystä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, missä määrin opiskelijoiden mielestä oppijan autonomisuutta edistetään lukion englannin kielen opetuksessa sekä kuinka tyytyväisiä opiskelijat ovat kokemaansa oppijan autonomisuuden edistämiseen. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin kyselylomakkeella, jonka jälkeen aineisto analysoitiin kvantitatiivisesti. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat…
