Integrated disease management using environmental control in tea fields
No full textThe occurrence of plant disease depends on interactions between the host plant, a pathogen, and the environment in a dynamic called "the disease triangle". Bacterial shoot blight (BSB) disease, caused by _Pseudomonas syringae_ pv. _theae_ (_Pst_), is a major bacterial disease of tea plants in Japan and substantially reduces tea productivity. BSB mainly occurs in the low-temperature season, and lesion formation by _Pst_ is enhanced by both low temperature and the presence of ice nucleation-active _Xanthomonas campestris_ (INAX), which catalyses ice formation at -2 to -4^o^C and is frequently co-isolated with _Pst_ from tea plants^5^. Low temperature is thus the most important environmental factor to influence the incident; however, the effects of environmental controls in fields on the occurrence of the disease are poorly understood. Here we show that the natural incidence of BSB in the field is closely related to low temperatures in late autumn. Frost protection in late autumn, which protected tea plants against extremely low temperatures, significantly decreased the incidence of BSB, and frost protection combined with bactericide application held the incident under the economic threshold level. Our data indicate that environmental control in the field based on microbial interactions in the host offers a new strategy for plant disease control using integrated plant disease management based on the disease triangle concept

Investigation on Rosehip Fruit Tea, Linden Herbal Tea, Sage Herbal Tea and Green Tea-are thay acidic or not?
No full textTea is a widely-consumed daily life product, which is claimed to be very
advantageous for health. But it may have negative effects on health, too. Consuming
tea with a hungry stomach causes stomachache, and doctors say that this is because
the tea is acidic. This investigation aims to determine if four types of teas (Rosehip
Fruit tea, Linden Herbal Tea, Sage Herbal Tea and Gren Tea with Lemon) are acidic
or not.
This investigation is important in the sense that the way the tea is consumed may be
limited. Determining if the tea is acidic or not may effect the habits of many people
about tea consumption. In order to determine if the tea is acidic or not, I used the
titration method. Titration is a technique in which the molarity of a solution can be
found by using a strong base or acid with a known molarity and volume.
At the end of my trials, I found out that these four types of teas are all acidic. These
results showed me that Rosehip Fruit Tea is the most acidic one among all, and the
Linden Herbal Tea is the one closest to the neutral. When an order is made between
the acidities tea types, I reached to the conclusion below:
Rosehip tea > Green tea with Lemon > Sage tea > Linden te
Tea Industry: Focus on Kenya
No full textAbstract: Tea is an important commodity in East Africa. Kenya is the major tea producer, followed by Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The growth in the tea sector has led to development of Kenya’s economy. Tea sector in Kenya is dominated by smallholders along with investments by private companies. East African Tea Trade Association (EATTA) was formed to develop the tea trade in Africa. Kenyan tea sector is also facing challenges, such as lack of infrastructure for transport, restrictions in government policies, climate change and the competition to Mombasa tea auction from Dubai auction centre.
Keywords: Tea, Kenya, Mombasa auctions, China, India, CTC, Orthodox.

FUTURE OF MULTIMEDIA MAREKTING OR JUST A PHASE- INFLUENCERS : Graduate paper
No full textRazvojem interneta došlo je do pojave društvenih mreža, a pojava društvenih mreža uzrokovala
je pojavu utjecajnih osoba odnosno influencera na online platformama. U zadnjem desetljeću,
vođenje marketinga na društvenim mrežama postala je nezaobilazna stavka svakog vodećeg
brenda. Uz pomoć društvenih mreža brendovi imaju sposobnost stvaranja veza s potrošačima,
dobivanje direktnih popratnih komentara i ostvarivanje prodaje do zavidnih razina. Influenceri
su postali nezaobilazan činitelj u multimedijalnom marketingu, Influenceri koriste gotovo sve
postojeće društvene mreže, a može se reći kako je Instagram najznačajnija mreža.
Provedeno empirijsko istraživanje potvrđuje činjenicu kako influenceri imaju znatan utjecaj na
ponašanje potrošača, a proizvođači ih nerijetko koriste kao sredstvo za stvaranje i jačanje
brenda svojih proizvoda.u ovom radu je analizirana njihova pojava i utjecaj na ponašanje
potrošača te budućnost multimedijalnog marketinga.Development of the Internet has caused a trend of social media, development of social media
has caused a trend of influental people therefore influencers. In the last decade, managing
marketing on social media has become an inevitable segment of every leading brand. With the
help of social media,brends now have the ability of connecting with their consumers, moreover
gathering direct feedback and getting a next level profit. Infulencers have become a new force
within multimedia marketing, in this paper their trend and their influence on multimedia
marketing is overlooked. Influencers have become a main factor in multimedia marketing.

important social platform.

on the costumers behaviour and manufacturers frequently use them as a source for building
awareness about their brand and products. In this paper it is overlooked their meaning and their
influence on costumer behaviour and the future of multimedia marketing

A potent thromboxane formation inhibitor in green tea leaves
No full textA ninhydrin positive compound (L2) now identified as 2-amino-5-(N-ethylcarboxyamido)-pentanoic acid, from unprocessed tea leaves was a potent inhibitor of thrombin-stimulated thromboxane formation in rabbit whole blood (Ali and Afzal; Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Medicine, 27: 9, 1987). In the present study, processed and unprocessed tea leaf extracts were given to rats to consume for a period of eight weeks. Cholesterol and thromboxane levels were measured in the serum obtained from clotting the blood at 37 degrees C. A significant reduction in thromboxane levels was observed in rats taking unprocessed tea extract. This reduction was equally distributed in adult as well as in juvenile rats. However no appreciable changes in the levels of thromboxane were noticed in the serum of rats taking processed tea extracts. This might be due to the presence of a labile component which is destroyed during the processing of green tea leaves. A decreased level of cholesterol was observed in rats consuming unprocessed tea extract. This decrease could be linked to the decrease in thromboxane levels as observed. Processed tea refers to commercially available tea of different brands while unprocessed tea refers to dried green tea leaves.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 8802730; 0 (Amino Acids); 108589-72-6 (2-amino-5-(N-ethylcarboxyamido)pentanoic acid); 54397-85-2 (Thromboxane B2); 57-88-5 (Cholesterol); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1

No full textAnaliza organizacije uključuje unutarnje i vanjske čimbenike. Razlikuju se po tome što unutarnji mogu biti oblikovani, a vanjskima se organizacija treba prilagoditi. Unutarnji uključuju ciljeve, strategiju, veličinu, tehnologiju, ljudske potencijale, te životni ciklus organizacije, dok vanjski uključuju kupce, konkurente, vladu, sindikate, distributere i dobavljače koji predstavljaju specifičnu okolinu, te politički uvjeti, zakonodavstvo, tehnološki razvoj, ekonomski i socijalno-kulturni uvjeti koji predstavljaju opću okolinu organizacije. U nastavku će se analizirati tvrtka Fast Forward, te kako svi ti čimbenici utječu na nju i kako ona može utjecati na njih.
