Promoting Life Style among Sheltered School Children in Banha City, Qualiobia Governorate

Shelter is a place affording protection against danger, or it is a structure that provides privacy and protection for children who have no fixed night time residence. This study aims to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on promoting life style of school children's shelters in Banha City, Qualiobia Governorate. Design: A quasi experimental design was used to conduct the study. Setting: This study was carried out at two shelters, affiliated to social welfare institutions for boys and girls in Banha City in the academic years 2009 /2010. Sample: All children 55: 36 boys &19 girls in primary, preparatory and secondary school ages (6-18 years). Tool: Three Tools were used for data collection : 1) An interviewing questionnaire for the children concerning socio- demographic characteristics,2) Assessment of health problems: physical, social, psychological and emotional problems: (a)Psychological tests as Fear and Anxiety Test, Poor Relationships, Depression Test, and Emotional Test),(b) Social problems: violence Test, Withdrawal Test and Sexual Abuse Test, 3): Life Style Assessment Sheet. Results: Revealed that the majority of the studied subjects were males, more than two thirds had basic education, according to their health problems, there were statistically significant improvements after the intervention . Concerning self health responsibilities, the mean was 31.222, 32.053 pre program which improved to 50.456, 50.150 after program, the nutritional awareness mean was 28.139, 29.158 pre program, improved to 34.540, 35.150 with a significant difference at p= <0.001. Statistically, there were improvements after the intervention program in physical activity, stress management and environmental safety. Coclusion: The results revealed a significant effect of the intervention program in promoting life-style and providing favorable impact on the health condition of children's shelters. The finding of this study recommended the need for integration between Ministry of Health and Ministry of Society Affairs and Solidarity to develop health care services such as providing periodic check up under supervision of the Ministry of Health and providing shelters with nurses working for 24 hrs/day.

Trends in antibiotic resistance among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become the most important multidrug-resistant pathogen worldwide, causing significant morbidity and increased healthcare costs. Hospital acquired MRSA are usually associated with increased expression of multiple antibiotic resistance genes. In hospitals, prolonged hospital stay and antibiotic therapy, especially with beta–lactam antibiotics and fluoroquinolones, predispose patients to acquisition of MRSA. Materials and Method: From October 2015 to October 2016. 100 strains of MRSA were isolated from various clinical specimens from different patients. The screening and confirmation of MRSA production was done by Cefoxitin disc diffusion method. Antibiotic susceptibility test for MRSA was done using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method for conventional antibiotics. Results: resistance pattern was Pefloxacin (87%), Ofloxacin (75%), Ciprofloxacin (61%), Erythromycin (65%), Cotrimoxazole (61%), Clindamycin (57%), Cefipime (40%), Tetracycline (29%), Gentamicin (24%), Amikacin (13%), Linezolid (0%), Teicoplanin (0%) and Vancomycin (0%). Inducible clindamycin resistance was 38%. Among risk factors, 74% patients had the history of administration of antibiotics, 70% are Hospitalized patients. 58% of the patients are having foreign bodies in situ. 31% are community acquired and 69% are hospital acquired MRSA. Conclusion: The selection of antimicrobial agent should be based on in vitro susceptibility and the hospital-based antibiotic policies must be strictly followed. There should be constant surveillance for susceptibility pattern of MRSA as well as to detect emergence of vancomycin resistance. In addition to good infection control practices, the rational use of antimicrobial agents is one of the major steps in reducing the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

We questioned the appearance of regions with extraordinary high rates of heterozygosity, here “Heterozygosity Rich Regions” (HRR) in the genomes of a cattle population. We used 120 Pinzgauer bulls genotyped with 611102 SNPs and detected 14702 HRR unequally dispersed in the genome. Mean coverage of SNP chip data with HRR was 0.99 %. In total we found 11 regions with high frequency of SNPs being in HRR on nine chromosomes yielding 21 genes of which 17 have described functions. We further identified genes located in HRR and discussed their importance and function. The results of this study point to the analysis of HRR providing additional understanding of the genomes of livestock.
Democratic Legitimacy under Strain? Declining Political Support and Mass Demonstrations in Chile

The process of democratic transition in Chile has generally been regarded as one of the most successful cases of democratization in Latin America, with the Concertacion coalition governments aiming for high levels of political stability, economic growth and institutional strength. However, since mid-2011, there have been a large number of demonstrations and protests in the country, challenging the indicators of success and the social and political stability achieved so far. Similarly, declining rates of approval for political institutions, as well as political disaffection have given rise to a number of questions regarding the legitimacy of the current Chilean model. In this article, I will explore several possible explanations for the wave of demonstrations and the decline in support for institutions and elaborate on the challenges and opportunities these problems pose for the legitimacy of the Chilean democratization process. Resumen: Legitimidad democratica bajo tension: Disminucion del apoyo politico y manifestaciones masivas en Chile La transicion democratica en Chile ha sido generalmente destacada como uno de los casos mas exitosos de democratizacion en America Latina, con los gobiernos de la coalicion Concertacion logrando altos niveles de estabilidad politica, crecimiento economico y solidez institucional. A partir del ano 2011 sin embargo, protestas y movilizaciones han emergido en el pais, desafiando los exitosos indicadores asi como la estabilidad politica y social observada hasta entonces. De la misma manera, una disminucion de las tasas de aprobacion de las instituciones asi como una desafeccion politica han dado lugar a una serie de preguntas sobre la legitimidad del modelo chileno actual. En este articulo, planteo posibles explicaciones para la ola de movilizaciones y la merma en el apoyo a las instituciones politicas, asi como analizo los desafio y oportunidades que estos problemas pueden suponer para la legitimidad del proceso de democratizacion chilena.
The earliest eutherian mammal

The invention herein provides a method and apparatus for fabricating optical fiber vibration modal filtering sensors. Such filtering sensors are used in vibration control of engineered structures, especially flexible structures. In particular, the optical fiber sensor is made by a functionally weighted exposure of an optical fiber to ultra-violet (UV) laser source thereby modifying the refractive index of the optical fiber core resulting in a vibrational modal filtering sensor using a single mode interferometric detection scheme. The apparatus for making the same uses a multiple reel stepper motor mechanism, a process controller and a UV laser source.
How Much Does Anticipation Matter? Evidence from Anticipated Regulation and Land Prices

Land prices across administrative boundaries can be useful for estimating the causal effects of local policy. Market anticipation about potential boundary changes can confound identification, so studies often avoid markets where this may arise. We develop an approach to quantify anticipation by separately identifying the causal effect of local policy and the market's subjective beliefs that administrative boundaries will change. Using land prices and changes to land use regulation boundaries, our estimates indicate that anticipation does matter quantitatively: it increases the welfare cost of the policy by one-quarter and empirical analysis that omits anticipation underestimates this cost by nearly one-half.
Secondary metabolites from the roots of Astragalus maximus

Background and objectives: Astragalus is one of the most abundant genera of flowering plants in Iran. There are a few reports on phytochemical investigation of this valuable genus. Saponins, flavonoids and polysaccharides have been reported as the most important metabolites in Astragalus species. In the present research, we aimed to identify the foremost constituents of Astragalus maximus. Method: Phytochemical analysis of the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction of Astragalus maximus roots was performed using different methods of chromatography such as HPLC, SPE and preparative TLC. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectral evidence from 1D and 2D NMR including DQF-COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and DEPT, in comparison with reported values in the literature. Results: Analysis of the extract yielded three flavonoids namely liquiritigenin, formononetin, isoquercitrin and one acylated cycloartane-type saponin, astragaloside I. Conclusion: According to the results of our study, cycloartane-type saponin and flavonoids were the important metabolites in A. maximus.
Dust as interstellar catalyst - II. How chemical desorption impacts the gas

Context. Interstellar dust particles, which represent 1% of the total mass, are recognized to be very powerful interstellar catalysts in star-forming regions. The presence of dust can have a strong impact on the chemical composition of molecular clouds. While observations show that many species that formed onto dust grains populate the gas phase, the process that transforms solid state into gas phase remains unclear. Aims. The aim of this paper is to consider the chemical desorption process, i.e. the process that releases solid species into the gas phase, in astrochemical models. These models allow determining the chemical composition of star-forming environments with an accurate treatment of the solid-phase chemistry. Methods. In paper I we derived a formula based on experimental studies with which we quantified the efficiencies of the chemical desorption process. Here we extend these results to astrophysical conditions. Results. The simulations of astrophysical environments show that the abundances of gas-phase methanol and H2O2 increase by four orders of magnitude, whereas gas-phase H2CO and HO2 increase by one order of magnitude when the chemical desorption process is taken into account. The composition of the ices strongly varies when the chemical desorption is considered or neglected. Conclusions. We show that the chemical desorption process, which directly transforms solid species into gas-phase species, is very efficient for many reactions. Applied to astrophysical environments such as Rho Oph A, we show that the chemical desorption efficiencies derived in this study reproduce the abundances of observed gas-phase methanol, HO2, and H2O2, and that the presence of these molecules in the gas shows the last signs of the evolution of a cloud before the frost.
Reversal of phenytoin-induced impairment of spontaneous alternation by piracetam in mice: Involvement of cholinergic system

Objective: To study the effect of the combined treatment of phenytoin and piracetam on seizure control, cognitive and motor functions in mice. Material and Methods: Increasing current electroshock seizure (ICES) test was used to evaluate the effect of the combination of phenytoin and piracetam on convulsions. Cognitive functions in mice were assessed by spontaneous alternation in behavior on a plus maze while motor functions were screened using rolling roller apparatus and by counting the number of arms entries on a plus maze. Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was measured using the Ellman et al method. Results: The study showed that piracetam when co-administered with phenytoin, significantly reversed phenytoin-induced reduction in spontaneous alternation without altering the efficacy of phenytoin against ICES in both acute and chronic studies. Further, it also reversed phenytoin-induced increase in AChE activity. Conclusion: Piracetam alleviated the phenytoin–induced cognitive impairment without compromising its antiepileptic efficacy.
Crime and Punishment Revisited

Despite an abundance of empirical evidence on crime spanning over forty years, there exists no consensus on the impact of the criminal justice system on crime activity. We argue that this may be due to the combined effect of simultaneity, omitted variable bias and aggregation bias that may confound many of these studies. We construct a new panel data set of local government areas in Australia and develop a testing framework for the implications of economic theory on crime behaviour. The empirical results suggest that the criminal justice system can potentially exert a much greater influence on crime activity than is the common view in the literature. In addition, we find that increasing the risk of apprehension and conviction is more influential in reducing crime than raising the expected severity of punishment. Violent crime is more persistent and relatively less responsive to law enforcement policies compared to non-violent crime.
Exploring youth activism on climate change: dutiful, disruptive, and dangerous dissent

The policies and decisions made today will influence climate and sustainability outcomes for the remainder of this century and beyond, and youth today have a large stake in this future. Many youth are expressing dissent toward economic, social, and environmental policies and practices that contribute to climate change in diverse ways, but clearly not all forms of climate activism have the same impact or repercussions. We have presented a typology for understanding youth dissent as expressed through climate activism. Recognizing the complex empirical reality of youth concerns about climate change, this typology has distinguished three types of activism as dutiful, disruptive, and dangerous dissent. By drawing attention to multiple ways for youth to express their political agency both within and outside of traditional political processes, we have highlighted and analyzed the diverse ways that youth are challenging power relationships and political interests to promote climate-resilient futures.

IN VITRO MASS PROPAGATION AND SYNTHETIC SEED PRODUCTION COMBINED WITH PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ANALYSIS OF BACOPA CHAMAEDRYOIDES: AN ETHNO-MEDICINALLY IMPORTANT PLANT

Objective: This study was carried out to optimize adventitious shoot buds induction from the surface of the leaf and internode explants along with investigation of the phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant potential of aerial parts of Bacopa chamaedryoides, an ethno-medicinally important plant. Methods: All the analysis was performed according to standard protocols. Results: Maximum 26.3±05 shoots per leaf explant and 32.3±0.41 shoots per internode explants were induced on MS basal medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L TDZ and 15% Aloe vera gel (AvG) fortified fortified medium within 30-32 days. Multiplied shoots were successfully rooted with maximum 16.8±0.35 root per shoot on half strength MS medium supplemented with 50% of AvG and reached 2.1±0.24 cm length within 15 days. Finally, the rooted plants were hardened and transferred to soil with 87.8% success rate. Micro-shoots were encapsulated in calcium alginate beads for the production of synthetic seeds (SSs). The best result was observed in 3.0% sodium alginate by means of proper globular shaping of SSs with 90.0% germination rate. The ethanolic extracts were evaluated for their potential antioxidant activities using different in vitro systems and exhibit better scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (IC50 = 1150.446 μg/mL), 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (IC50 = 13.781 μg/mL) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (IC50=5.663 μg/mL). High-performance thin layer chromatography was performed to corroborate the biochemical analysis of antioxidant activity. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the aerial part of B. chamaedryoides is a valuable source of
Factors affecting retention and release of flavour compounds in food carbohydrates

Much has been researched over many decades about the retention and release of flavour compound in foods. Nowadays, carbohydrates such as sugar and polysaccharide are also increasingly used in food industry in term of main product and food additive. Furthermore, polysaccharides are the most common matrices used to entrap flavour compounds. Many studies have shown that carbohydrates influence the retention and release of volatile flavour compounds. Thus, an understanding of behaviors of an interaction between food carbohydrates and flavour compounds is required for suitable flavour retention and release during processing and eating. It is useful to improve new food flavouring and develop new carriers for flavour encapsulation. In this review, flavour carbohydrate interactions are described. In addition, some factors affecting retention and release of flavour compounds in carbohydrates such as physicochemical properties of flavour compounds, type of carbohydrates and their concentration were reviewed.
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR THE CHALCOPHILE BEHAVIOR OF THE HALOGENS

Nous avons etudie la repartition de F, Cl. Br, et I entre liquides silicate et sulfure coexistants a une pression allant de 0.9 a a 1.8 GPa et a une temperature entre 1150° et 1450°C, et la repartition du CI entre liquide sulfure riche en Cu et en Ni d'une part, et solution solide monosulfuree (mss) a pression atmospherique et une temperature de 1000° et 1100°C. Nous avons calcule les coefficients de partage de Nernst, exprimes en termes de la proportion ponderale d'halogene dans le sulfure divise par la proportion dans le silicate. Nous n'avons pas detecte de fluor dans le liquide sulfure, quelles que soient les conditions experimentales. Il n'y a pas de changement discernable dans les coefficients Dc s u l / s i l , DBr s u l / s i l et DI s u l / s i l avec la temperature. Les valeurs de Dc s u l / s i l , D B r s u l / s i l et D I s u l / s i l sont dispersees de part et d'autre de 0.038, 0.026, et 0. 15, respectivement. Une augmentation de la pression de 0.9 a 1.8 GPa mene a une augmentation des coefficients D c l sul/silD B r sul/sil et D 1 sul/silselon un facteur de 2, environ. Le chlor est moderement incompatible avec la phase mss: D c l m s s / l i q varie de 0.09 a 1000°C a 0.19 a 1100°C, indication que la cristallisation de cette phase solide a partir d'un liquide sulfure entrainera un enrichissement progressif du Cl dans le liquide residuel. Le point de fusion de mss dans le systeme Fe-Cu-Ni-S est abaisse par la presence du Cl. Nos resultats montrent que l'association commune des halogenures dans les minerais de sulfures massifs, y inclus la lawrencite, mineral deliquescent, concorde parfaitement avec l'hypothese d'une origine purement magmatique du minerai. Les halogenes pourraient bien avoir ete dissous dans le liquide sulfure, pour ensuite etre rejete pendant sa cristallisation finale, pour former des halogenures comme mineraux accessoires dans les amas de sulfures massifs, ou bien des fluides hypersalins qui pourront se melanger avec les fluides aqueux dans les roches encaissantes. Comme signe revelateur d'une phase fluide orthomagmatique derivee d'un magma sulfure, on s'attend a voir des valeurs extremement elevees des rapports Cl/F et Cl/Br, traduisant l'affinite preferentielle du Cl pour les sulfures en comparaison des autres halogenes. Des signes de la presence d'une telle phase fluide hypersaline ayant un rapport C1/ Br anormalement eleve pourrait fournir un outil precieux dans la prospection pour les amas sulfures enrichis par fractionnement en Cu et en elements du groupe du platine.
