Previous issue date: 2012-03-01 / This study aimed to evaluate the radiosensitivity of castor bean seeds cultivar IAC80
subjected to different doses of cobalt60 gamma radiation. Firstly, the mechanical
removal of the caruncle seeds was performed, after being pre-soaked for 24 hours
and irradiated with cobalt60 gamma radiation (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200Gy) and, then,
sown in polystyrene trays containing soil. Parameters such as electrical conductivity,
emergence index and emergence rate, growth parameters and analysis of
antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and APX) measured/assessed in leaves and roots
of castor bean plantlets /seedlings were evaluated. The results were submitted to
ANOVA and the averages compared through Turkey test (5%). The electrical
conductivity was not affected by the radiation doses used. The results showed that
gamma radiation negatively affected plantlets/seedlings development, given that the
dose of 200Gy significantly reduced emergence and speed of emergence index. The
growth parameters showed a reduction in the plantlets size with the increase of
radiation doses. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase showed
a significant difference only at a dose of 200Gy to the leaves, not being significant to
the roots. The activity of the enzyme ascorbate peroxidase showed increased activity
in the leaves as the radiation doses were also increased. The activity of catalase
showed no significant difference when exposed to different doses of gamma radiation
in both leaves and roots. From the foregoing it can be concluded that the doses of
Co60 gamma radiation used in this study were shown to have a negative effect on
the morphological and physiological characteristics evaluated in this work. Regarding
the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and APX), the shoots of seedlings of castor
bean was more sensitive to gamma radiation Co60 used. / O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a radiossensibilidade de sementes de
mamona cultivar IAC80 submetida a diferentes doses de radiação gama cobalto60.
Primeiramente foi feita a remoção mecânica da carúncula das sementes, foram préembebidas
por 24h em água destilada e irradiadas com radiação gama cobalto60 (0,
50, 100, 150 e 200 Gy) e posteriormente semeadas em bandejas de isopor contendo
solo. Foram feitos testes de condutividade elétrica, emergência e índice de
velocidade de emergência, análises de crescimento e análise das enzimas
antioxidantes (SOD, CAT e APX) avaliadas nas folhas e nas raízes de plântulas de
mamona. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias
comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (5%). A condutividade elétrica não foi afetada pelas
doses de radiação utilizadas. Os resultados mostraram que a radiação gama afetou
negativamente o desenvolvimento das plântulas, sendo que a dose de 200Gy
reduziu significativamente a emergência e o índice de velocidade de emergência.
As características morfofsiológicas apresentaram redução do tamanho das plântulas
conforme o aumento das doses de radiação. Na atividade das enzimas
antioxidantes, a superóxido dismutase apresentou diferença significativa apenas na
dose de 200Gy, para as folhas, não sendo significativa nas raízes. A atividade da
enzima ascorbato peroxidase mostrou aumento da atividade nas folhas conforme o
aumento da dose de radiação. Já a atividade da catalase não mostrou diferença
significativa quando exposta a diferentes doses de radiação gama tanto em folhas
quanto em raízes. A partir do exposto pode-se concluir que as doses de radiação
gama Co60 utilizadas neste estudo mostraram ter um efeito negativo sobre as
características morfofisiológicas avaliadas neste trabalho. Quanto à atividade das
enzimas antioxidantes (SOD e APX), a parte aérea das plântulas de mamona se
mostrou mais sensível às doses de radiação gama Co60 utilizadas.

Optical and electrochemical sensing methods for the detection of food contaminants / Méthodes de détection optique et électrochimique pour la détection des contaminants alimentairesBueno Hernandez, Diana 13 May 2016 (has links)
Un appareil de mesure de la fluorescence, à faible coût et portable a été développé pour quantifier les concentrations d’Ochratoxine A (OTA) dans des échantillons réels. Le système est basé sur l’excitation par une UV-LED à 365 nm et un photo détecteur contrôlé par une interface dans LabVIEW. Aussi, une image capteur, CMOS, contrôlée par une interface conçue dans MATLAB. L’OTA est une molécule naturellement fluorescente. Après excitation par une UV-, l’image de la fluorescence émise est captée par une caméra et traitée en vue de la mesure de la concentration de l’OTA. Le système d’analyse a été basé sur les 3 composants rouge, vert et bleu (RGB, selon l'acronyme anglais). La gamme est linéaire entre de 2-40 µg/L. L’extraction de l’OTA est réalisée par des colonnes d'immuno affinité (IAC, selon l'acronymeanglais) et les colonnes à empreinte moléculaire (MIP, selon l'acronyme anglais) pour les échantillons de cacao, de la bière et du vin. Les résultats obtenus ont été validés par la méthode chromatographique (HPLC). L'appareil conçu est facile à utiliser, économique et portable. En outre, l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies a été inclus tels que l'emploi du smartphone pour détecter l'OTA et la création d'un APP. Des données d'image de fluorescence provenant de la caméra du smartphone et sont analysées par un ordinateur personnel et présentés dans les composantes RGB, où l'image est envoyée à l'ordinateur par WIFI et le téléphone intelligent est utilisé comme source d'énergie trop. Enfin, une APP pour le système Android a été créé pour capturer l'image et fournit les valeurs RGB. Enfin l'utilisation du traitement de l'image a été utilisée pour quantifier l'OTA dans les échantillons réels sans colonnes IAC ou MIP, employée pour extraire la mycotoxine. L’analyse a été réalisée par des techniques colorimétriques et d’analyse de la couleur. / A portable and low cost fluorescence set-up to quantify the concentrations of Ochratoxin A(OTA) in real samples was developed. The detection through the device consist of anultraviolet light at 365 nm and an photo detector or a CMOS sensor controlled by anexecutable interface designed in LabVIEW or MATLAB. It has been reported that OTA is naturally fluorescent, so it allows the user to get a UV LED to excite the sample, get a value involtage when a photodetector is employed or a photograph of the OTA under excitationconditions, and process that image in order to predict the concentrations of the sample. Tocapture and process the image, in an automatically manner, the system was completely basedon the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) components. The linearity for OTA obtained in the rangeof concentrations corresponds to 2-40 µg/L. Immunoaffinity columns (IAC) and molecularimprinted polymer columns (MIP) were used with cocoa, beer and wine samples. Theobtained results were cross-validated using chromatographic method such as HPLC and theFluoroskan equipment. The developed setup is easy to use, economical and portable. Besides,the use of new tendencies was included such as employ the smartphone to detect OTA and thecreation of an APP. Fluorescence image data from the smartphone camera are analyzed by apersonal computer and presented in RGB components, where the image is sent to thecomputer by WIFI and the smartphone is used as a power source too. Finally, an APP forandroid system was created to capture the image and provides the RGB values. At the end, theuse of image processing to quantify the OTA in real samples without incorporated IAC or MIPcolumns to extract the mycotoxin from a complex solution, employing colorimetric techniquesand color analysis.

Factors affecting public policy processes : the experience of the industries assistance commissionCroker, Keith L., n/a January 1986 (has links)
Public policies are, at once, the means for articulation of political
philosophies and processes, the conduits for conversion of political
and bureaucratic decisions into actions and the means by which the
electorate can assess government performance. Public policy
processes offer a means of achieving social and economic change and
they are a primary justification for the existence of governmental
systems. On these counts, identification of the elements of policy
processes and the ways they interact with each other is essential to
an understanding of the relationships between public policy decisions,
systems of democratic government and their connections with wider
society.
This thesis goes behind the facade of public policy outcomes and
analyses the processes involved in arriving at policy decisions.
Linkages are traced between political theories, the processes of
public policy decisions and final policy outcomes. This involves,
first, an examination and critique of liberal-democratic theories.
Second, there is detailed examination of pluralist democratic practice,
which is the prevailing political paradigm of modern western
liberal-democratic societies. The analysis finds substantial evidence
of gross distortions in the process relative to normative theories.
Plain causes are the institutionalisation of special interests to the
exclusion of wider public interests and inadequate accountability of
governments and bureaucracies for their actions.
Policy processes in pluralist systems are examined and it is concluded
that the social environment, institutional influences and factors which
affect the behaviour of institutions are key elements explaining public
policy decisions.
The capacity for pluralism to significantly influence policy outcomes
depends largely on the degree and nature of access to the public policy
process at various points.
In examining the role of government institutions in public policy
processes, it is argued that a clear distinction between the elected
legislature and the administrative bureaucracy is artificial and
misleading. Further, there is evidence that public service bureaucrats
can become captives of their particular client groups and, thus, less
accessible to the full range of relevant interests. These problems are
exacerbated by the two-party Westminster model of representative
democracy which tends to concentrate power in cabinet government,
resulting in a decline in the importance of parliament as a deliberative
and scrutinising bodies.
This dissertation develops the view that there are significant causal
links between institutional philosophies and values and the dominant
disciplines within institutions. It is also argued that growing
professionalism in bureaucracies and a tendency for functional divisions
of public policy to be in broad symmetry with the divisions of the
professions, tends to intensify the influence of particular professional
disciplines on related areas of public policy.
The critique of liberal-democratic theories and the related discussion
of factors affecting policy processes in a pluralist system are used to
identify the essential elements of public policy processes. It is
proposed that all policy processes contain the four elements of
pluralism, access, accountability and planning which are interactively
related. Differences in emphasis given to these elements in the policy
process explains the nature of individual policy decisions. Thus, the
normative policy process datum model provides both a static and dynamic
framework for analysing policy decisions.
In order to examine the theoretical arguments in an empirical context,
the policy processes of the Australian Federal Government, in the area
of industry assistance, are analysed. This policy arena contains all
the 'raw material' of pluralist processes and is, therefore, a fertile
area for analysis. Furthermore, operating within this policy arena is
the Industries Assistance Commission [IAC], a bureaucratic institution
which is quite unlike traditional administrative structures. The IAC
has, prima-facie, all of the features of the policy process datum model;
it operates in an open mode, it encourages a range of pluralistic inputs,
it has a highly professional planning function and, because its policy
advice is published, it encourages scrutiny and accountability of
itself, other actors in the bureaucracy and the elected government. The
IAC operates in a rational-comprehensive mode.
The analysis concludes that the IAC was established in part to be a
countervailing force to restore some balance in the industry policy
arena. In this it has been partly successful - the distributive policy
decisions of governments have come under much greater scrutiny than in
the past and other areas of the bureaucracy have been forced to operate
more frequently in a rational-comprehensive mode, rather than as
advocates of sectional interests.
The IAC has itself limited its range of objectives, however, and has
tended to become a computational organisation, isolating its core
economic [planning] technology from the interactive processes of the
policy process model, i.e. pluralism, access and accountability. By
protecting its essential philosophy in this way, the IAC runs the risk
of becoming less influential in the overall policy process.
Using the policy process model as a datum, and the empirical experience
of the IAC and the policy arena in which it operates, several options
for administrative reform are examined. A summary agenda for
administrative change is proposed which revolves around ways of achieving
balanced pluralistic inputs, a greater degree of access, better
bureaucratic and government accountability and ways of exploiting but
controlling technocratic planning expertise. Emphasis is placed on the
need to achieve enriched interactive flows between each of these key
elements. If these conditions can be met, it is proposed that a revised
and improved administrative bureaucracy will emerge.

The perceptions of student counsultants towards The Inital Assessment and Consultation (IAC) model of assessment.Warburton, Bianca 31 May 2010 (has links)
In 1982, a new model of psycho-educational assessment, called the Initial Assessment and
Consultation Approach (IAC), was introduced into the Education Clinic of the Division of
Specialised Education at the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS). It has continued to be
used in the new Emthonjeni Centre at WITS University. The IAC assessment model was
developed in response to criticisms and limitations of existing assessment practices. It
represents an approach that is client oriented, in that it encourages consultants and clients to
arrive together at their own decisions. Key to the model is a joint problem-solving approach,
where the concept of the client’s control, consent and commitment are imperative.
The aim of this study was to explore student consultants’ perceptions of the IAC model of
assessment. More specifically, the study explored the perceptions of the effectiveness of the
IAC as a tool for psycho-educational assessment; the student consultants’ opinion regarding
the model and lastly past students’ use of the IAC approach at internship sites or places of
work. The results of the study were qualitatively examined through the use of thematic
content analysis, which provided rich description participants’ opinions.
The sample consisted of forty respondents. Information letters were distributed to all
participants and data was gathered through the use of an online questionnaire. The
questionnaire was structured specifically to elicit the participants’ perceptions of the IAC
model of psycho-educational assessment.
The results indicate that the IAC is perceived as an effective approach to psycho-educational
assessment, by student consultants at WITS University, and many of the principles of the
approach are continued to be adopted by past students at their internship sites or places of
work.

The response of higher education institutions to the recommendations in the Higher Education Quality Committee audit reportsWort, Belinda Evelyn 05 December 2012 (has links)
The first cycle of quality assurance (QA) was conceptualised and developed between 2001 and 2004 as reflected in the policy documents of the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC). The HEQC as the national QA agency was created as the permanent sub-committee of the Council on Higher Education (CHE) to take care of the QA responsibility in 2001. The national QA agency had to operate within the divisions created in higher education under apartheid, which often created perceptions based on prejudice about the distribution of quality. The South African higher education landscape has been exposed to the first cycle of the Higher Education Quality Committee QA cycle during which conducted 34 institutional audits, accredited approximately 5000 new programmes, subjected 85 programmes to national reviews, trained approximately 550 institutional auditors and 1500 programme evaluators and conducted many workshops and training opportunities for higher education institutions (HEIs). The main aim posed by this study was to determine the response of HEIs to the recommendations in the HEQC audit reports. The sub-questions of the research are (i) What process was followed to develop the quality improvement plan? (ii) Who were the role-players in the development of the quality improvement plan? (iii) What influenced their actions in the development of the quality improvement plan? (iv) What value did the quality improvement plan development have for the institution? (v) How does the quality improvement plan fit into the comprehensive quality management system of the institution? To answer the research questions, interviews were carried out on six participants. The findings were that the primary research question has been addressed conclusively by the three institutions through the experience of participants. The responses indicate how they have embraced improvement at the respective institutions which in turn have grown as a result of the HEQC audit process. The conclusion was an in depth response to the recommendations in the audit reports, illustrating ownership of quality improvement plan processes within the institutions. From the results of the secondary research questions it is concluded that the participants’ responses provided the richness of the quality improvement plan process in the audit process. The responses reflected and confirmed the processes followed in developing the quality improvement plans and the role and influence of role- players in the quality improvement plan process. The responses reflected the value of this process and revealed how it had been incorporated into the comprehensive annual planning processes of the institutions. The study concludes that the participating institutions responded differently and effectively to the recommendations in the HEQC audit reports, with the improvement reflected in the manner and approach institutions displayed when responding to recommendations, reflecting systematic processes.
