Plant-microbe interaction in the rhizosphere is the determinant of soil fertility and plant health. The presence of beneficial bacteria in the vicinity of roots stimulates plant growth. In this way, soil bacteria play very important role in improving plant nutrition and have been utilized for agriculture for long times. However, little has been done at molecular level in Pakistan to explore their potential. The present study was designed with the objectives to isolate bacterial strains from legume rhizospheric soil and nodules, to characterize and identify potential bacterial strains by using molecular tagging of 16S rRNA gene sequencing and to asses rhizobacterial impact on yield, nodulation and N2-fixation of legume crops under controlled and field conditions. Extensive survey was carried out in Pothwar (District Rawalpindi, Attock and Chakwal) for collection of legumes (mash bean and chickpea) nodules and rhizospheric soil. Five samples of each legume crop were collected from each district. Rhizospheric soil bacteria were isolated through dilution plate technique using Phosphate Buffer Saline solution (PBS; 1X) and nutrient media i.e. Tryptic Soya Agar (TSA; Difco). Root nodules for Rhizobium isolation were washed, crushed and directly streaked on yeast extract mannitol (YEM) plates supplemented with Congo red. About 100 bacterial strains of different genera included Rhizobium were isolated and designated as AM-1, AM-2 to AM-100. These isolated bacterial strains were characterized for plant growth promoting (PGP) properties like auxin i.e. indole acetic acid (IAA), P solubilization and production of NH3. On the basis of PGP traits, 10 most potential strains were selected and identified using molecular techniques i.e. 16S rRNA sequencing. The DNA of each strain was amplified using universal primers 9F: (´GAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG´) and 1510R: (´GGCTACCTTGTTACGA´).

IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN SISTEM ZONASI PADA PENERIMAAN PESERTA DIDIK BARU (PPDB) 2019/2020 DI KOTA YOGYAKARTA

The acceptance of new students (PPDB) using the zoning system was first implemented in Yogyakarta in 2018/2019. This zoning system aims to equalize education and improve the quality of education. This research was conducted to find out how the zoning system policy in Yogyakarta city under the auspices of the Yogyakarta City Education Office. This research uses qualitative approach with case study method. The results of the study showed that the zoning system in Yogyakarta has changed from the previous year. In 2019/2020 the zoning system provides a 10% chance of superior seeds, 30% of school zones, 10% of poor learners, 40% of quality pathways, 5% of out-of-school zoning pathways, and 5% of special pathways such as prospective learners whose parents moved from other regions to Yogyakarta. With this zoning system, the whole community has the opportunity to get a good quality education.

Curtailing Heterogeneous Disparity in Brain Imaging and Dna Structure for Pattern Recognition Based Estimation of Alzheimer’S Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a multifactorial and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects an individual’s memory and cognitive skills. It is a major cause of death around the globe and according to 2015 Alzheimer’s association report, the death percentage has increased to 71% since year 2000. The clinical symptoms of the disease appear at a stage when the loss has become irreversible. Modern brain imaging techniques have enabled us to non-invasively visualize the internal structures of the brain. Scientists believe that structural and functional changes due to Alzheimer’s disease begin in the brain more than 20 years before any clinical symptoms are observed. Early detection of the disease is crucial for the patient, care givers and relatives to cope with the situation. It will also help medical practitioners to discover new drugs. For this reason there is an imperative need of image based automated techniques to assist medical professionals in correct diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease using brain images. In recent years, there is an intensive research focused on the identification of Alzheimer’s disease from brain images using machine learning methods. Structural brain images like MRI have been extensively used in this regard. In our research work, we have proposed an automated image processing based approach for the early identification of Alzheimer’s disease from MRI scans of the brain. The dataset selected consists of 236 age and gender matched individuals and the features selected are volume of GM, WM and CSF, and size of hippocampus. In addition to image features, genetic aspects of Alzheimer’s disease are also considered in classification task. Well known APOE risk gene data and 14 SNP data associated with Alzheimer’s disease are incorporated in the feature set. Seven different classification models from different algorithmic paradigms are used for identification of patients and controls. For evaluation of our scheme, we have used cross validation and 66% vi ii split test strategy. Classification results are obtained using image features, genetic features and combination of the both. It is observed that image features produced best classification of cases and controls. On the other hand, genetic data can be very useful in predicting the risk of disease well before any changes to brain are observed. The proposed approach is novel because it has been able to achieve higher accuracy/specificity/sensitivity values even using smaller feature set which is not the case of existing approaches. Moreover, the proposed approach is capable of identifying AD patients in early stages. Best results (100% accuracy, 100% specificity, 100% sensitivity) are achieved using volume of GM and size of left hippocampus with J48 classifier. Similarly APOE risk gene predicted the disease with 75% accuracy for all classifiers whereas SNP data achieved 86% accuracy with Naïve Bayes and SVM. The proposed approach will play a vital role in the domain of Computer Aided Diagnostics and Preventive Studies.
