Visitor behaviours and visitor effects: a case study on the white-crowned mangabey (cercocebus atys lunulatus) of ZSL London Zoo

One concern of contemporary zoos is the human-animal relation. On one hand, the welfare and successful breeding of animal species is top priority; and, on the other hand, the satisfaction and entertainment of the zoo visitors is a crucial goal. Yet, conflicts may emerge when the public’s pleasure do not match with the animal wellbeing. It is around this problematic that our research is focused. More specifically, the aim of this research is to understand the effects that visitors may have on the whitecrowned mangabeys (Cercocebus atys lunulatus) of ZSL London Zoo. Behavioural data on the mangabeys were collected by using focal animal samples and scan samples, and to collect data from the visitors, focal group samples and scan samples were used. Through Chi-square tests, selected mangabey behaviours were analysed to estimate the effects of some visitor conditions – presence/absence, activity/inactivity, concentration levels, noise levels, activity levels, as well as some specific behaviours. The results indicate that mangabeys’ visitor-directed aggressions and affiliative behaviours increase together with the levels of visitor’s concentration and noise. In addition, visitor-directed aggressions increased according to visitors’ activity and their behaviours, especially when the visitors tried to interact with the primates. Intra-group aggression on the other hand did not indicate a positive relation according to the visitors’ conditions tested. This suggests that not all types of aggression vary equally when the mangabey is expose to visitors. We concluded that visitors observing the mangabeys have an influence on their behaviours, and that the increase in aggressive and affiliative behaviours can be a possible indicator of distress in the primate group.
Group B Streptococcus Colonization among Saudi Women During Labor

Background: The presence of group B streptococcus in the genital area during pregnancy and labor is associated with high neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, the exact prevalence of group B streptococcus among Saudi women has not yet been established. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of group B streptococcal colonization in Saudi pregnant women as a primary end-point and neonatal complications as a secondary end-point. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of group B streptococcal colonization among Saudi women admitted in labor to the King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. A total of 1371 maternal specimens (vaginal swabs, rectal swabs and midstream urine) were collected from 457 patients between October 2011 and September 2016. Neonatal specimens (urine, blood and cerebrospinal fluid) were collected if clinically indicated. Results: Of the 457 women enrolled in this study, 87 (19%) had positive cultures for group B streptococcus either in the vaginal or rectal swab or both. Group B streptococcus was also found to be the most commonly isolated organism. In total, there were five cases of neonatal sepsis, of which one early-onset neonatal sepsis was caused by group B streptococcus. Conclusions: This study found that the prevalence of group B streptococcal colonization is 19% among Saudi women admitted in labor to the King Fahd Hospital of the University.
Correlates of anxiety in patients posted for hysterectomy

Patients undergoing hysterectomy are susceptible to develop anxiety and other psychiatric morbidities. This study was conducted to assess the presence of anxiety symptoms and their correlations with various socio-demographic variables in patients posted for hysterectomy surgery. This is a cross-sectional, single interview study conducted on 30 consecutive patients posted for hysterectomy surgery. Each patient was individually interviewed using a semi-structured proforma. To assess various domains of anxiety, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM–A) was administered. The mean age of the participants was 46.16 years (S.D. 5.91), all of them were married, majority of them being housewives, with good educational background and from urban area. Majority of participants had gynaecological diagnosis of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding. The mental status examination in some (37%) of them revealed anxious mood, and preoccupation with worries. Pain symptoms were present in 67% of the participants. None of the participants had diagnosable anxiety disorder. The mean HAM-A score was 16.5 (SD=5.04) with mild anxiety in 30% and moderate anxiety in 37%. Correlation with age, education, residence, duration of symptoms and gynaecological diagnosis were not significant. Significantly higher anxiety (on HAM A) was found in those with pain symptoms. Women posted for hysterectomy surgery have anxiety which correlates with pain symptoms. They should be evaluated for anxiety symptoms which can help in early diagnosis and treatment and help reduce further morbidity in them. Keywords: Hysterectomy, Anxiety, Pain symptoms
Studies of THGEM-based detector at low-pressure Hydrogen/Deuterium, for AT-TPC applications

We study the performance of single- and double- THick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) detectors in pure Hydrogen (H2) and Deuterium (D2) at low pressures, in the range of 100–450 torr. The effect of the pressure on the maximum achievable gain, ion-back flow and long-term gain stability are investigated for single and double cascade detectors. In particular, it was found that maximum achievable gains above 104, from single-photoelectrons avalanche, can be achieved for pressures of 200 torr and above; for lower pressure the gains are limited by avalanche-induced secondary effects to a values of around 103. The results of this work are relevant in the field of avalanche mechanism in low-pressure, low-mass noble gases, in particular for applications of THGEM end-cap readout for active-target Time Projection Chambers (TPC) in the field of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics.
Outcomes in BRCA mutation carriers: Evaluation of current data for optimal clinical care

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes responsible for homologous recombination and repair of double-strand DNA breaks (1). Mutations in either gene increase the risk of malignancy and are responsible for the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). The lifetime incidence of breast cancer in those harboring BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations has been estimated to be greater than 80% (2,3). The biology of BRCA1/2 mutation associated cancers is unique. BRCA1 mutated tumors in particular are often estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 negative and express a phenotype of a basal-type breast cancer (4). They are typically highergrade tumors, with more metastatic potential and poorer outcomes (5). There has also been interest in the potential susceptibility of BRCA-mutated cancers to therapeutic agents, such as platinum-derived chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors, that take advantage of the defect in homologous DNA repair, so-called “synthetic lethality” (6).
Dielectric relaxation of Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 thin films from 1 mHz to 20 GHz

The dielectric relaxation of Ba0.7Sr0. 3TiO3 thin films was investigated up to K band (20 GHz) using time domain and frequency domain measurements. Our results show that from 1 mHz to 20 GHz, the dielectric relaxation of the complex capacitance of Ba0.7Sr0. 3TiO3 thin films can be understood in terms of a power law dependence known as the Curie–von Schweidler law. The small dispersion (less than 7% decrease in capacitance from 1 mHz to 20 GHz) and low loss (loss angle less than 0.006 at 20 GHz) measured in Ba0.7Sr0. 3TiO3 thin films indicate that these films are applicable to device application up to at least K band.
The Implicit Processing in Multiple Object Tracking

Previous research has shown that implicit memory of visual context guides visual attention to a target object in a dynamic scene (Chun & Jiang, 1999). We investigated how attention affects implicit learning of contextual information in dynamic scene using a multiple object tracking (MOT) task. Participants were asked to track five identical targets which moved independently and unpredictably among five identical distractors. In this task, the motion patterns (trajectories) of the target items (Experiment 1) or the distractor items (Experiment 2) were made invariant by repeating them throughout the entire experimental session. The results showed that the invariant motion patterns of the target set improved MOT performance implicitly. In addition, participants demonstrated greater performance when the motion patterns of both target and distractor set were made invariant. This additional facilitation by the distractor set was not observed when only patterns of the distractor set was repeated. These data suggest contextual modulation of attentional tracking and sensitivity to the global motion pattern in a dynamic scene.
Empathy & Its Role in Quality Care

Empathy is widely viewed as essential to every patient encounter. There is evidence that empathy in the patient-physician encounter improves increases diagnostic accuracy, compliance, and patient outcomes. Patient satisfaction is higher when physicians demonstrate empathy. Empathy also reduces malpractice risk exposure. Empathy is a learnable skill at any point in a physician’s career that can significantly improve patient care.
The Envy Premium in Product Evaluation

Consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that elicit their envy. The more people compared themselves to a superior other, the higher the envy premium was. Yet, the emotion envy and not the upward comparison drove the final effects. The envy premium only emerged for a desirable product that the superior other owned (iPhone) when people experienced benign envy. Benign envy is elicited when the other's superior position is deserved, and malicious envy when it is undeserved. When people experienced malicious envy, the envy premium emerged for a desirable product that the superior other did not own (BlackBerry). This shows how benign envy places a premium on keeping up, and malicious envy on moving away from, superior others.
Perception of Childhood Immunization among Mothers of Under-Five Children in Onitsha, Anambra State

Background: Immunization is a process of inducing immunity to infection through the administration or introduction of vaccines. However, its coverage is not optimum in most developing countries. The objective of this study is to determine the awareness, perception and coverage of immunization among mothers of under-fives accessing care at the St Charles Borromeo Hospital Onitsha. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 300 mothers of under-five children who access immunization services and antenatal care at St Charles Borromeo Hospital Onitsha, Anambra state. A pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire elicited information on the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, perceptions, attitude and practice of childhood immunization. The participants were interviewed over 5 weeks. The data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 and displayed as percentages. Result: The respondents had a mean age of 28.75 ± 4.44 years. One (0.33%) of the mothers was single while 299 (99.67%) were married and living in a monogamous family setting. All the respondents were Christians, with the majority having completed secondary education 107(35.7%). Majority of the respondents 116(38.67%) were teachers, 94 (31.33%) were traders. The mean age of the children was 2.5±0.6 months. More than half (54.0 %) were females. All the children were delivered in the hospitals where their mothers went for antenatal care. All the mothers said immunization was meant for all children and also that vaccines do not contain contraceptives. Ninety-five percent (95%) of children had received BCG, the remaining 5% were newborns who were about to receive BCG on the day of interview. All the women reported that prevention of deadly vaccine-preventable diseases was the benefit of immunization. Conclusions: Awareness of immunization by the respondents was very high. Majority had good attitude towards immunization. Despite a good uptake of immunization, there were some children who were partially immunized or not immunized at all.
Fibula Free Flap in Head and Neck Reconstruction: Identifying Risk Factors for Flap Failure and Analysis of Postoperative Complications in a Low Volume Setting

The fibula free flap (FFF) has been a workhorse in maxillofacial reconstruction. High success rates of this technique are reported. However, identifying risk factors for flap failure and analyzing complications can open the way to better patient care. A retrospective analysis was conducted of all FFFs performed over a 20-year period at a low-volume single tertiary center to identify risk factors and postoperative complications. A total of 129 FFFs were included (122 mandible, 7 maxilla). Complete flap failure occurred in 12.4% and partial flap failure in 7.8% of patients. A significant relation was found between younger age and flap failure, and most failures were associated with venous thrombosis. In-hospital surgical complications occurred in 60.5%, in-hospital medical complications in 49.6%, and out-of-hospital complications in 77.5% of patients. The in-hospital reintervention rate was 27.1%, and including salvaged flaps, flap survival rate was 87.6%. Osteomyocutaneous FFF failure (complete 12.4%; partial 7.8%) is an important clinical reality in a low-volume head and neck reconstruction center resulting in an in-hospital reintervention rate of 27.1%. Postoperative complications are frequent, both surgical and out-hospital complications. These results provide a better understanding of the limitations of the FFF in a low-volume center and can be used to optimize care in this kind of setting.
THE ACS SURVEY OF GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTERS. VII. RELATIVE AGES

The ACS Survey of Galactic globular clusters is a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury program designed to provide a new large, deep, and homogeneous photometric database. Based on observations from this program, we have measured precise relative ages for a sample of 64 Galactic globular clusters by comparing the relative position of the clusters' main-sequence (MS) turnoffs, using MS fitting to cross-compare clusters within the sample. This method provides relative ages to a formal precision of 2%–7%. We demonstrate that the calculated relative ages are independent of the choice of theoretical model. We find that the Galactic globular cluster sample can be divided into two groups—a population of old clusters with an age dispersion of ∼5% and no age–metallicity relation, and a group of younger clusters with an age–metallicity relation similar to that of the globular clusters associated with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. These results are consistent with the Milky Way halo having formed in two phases or processes. The first one would be compatible with a rapid (<0.8 Gyr) assembling process of the halo, in which the clusters in the old group were formed. Also these clusters could have been formed before re-ionization in dwarf galaxies that would later merge to build the Milky Way halo as predicted by ΛCDM cosmology. However, the galactocentric metallicity gradient shown by these clusters seems difficult to reconcile with the latter. As for the younger clusters, it is very tempting to argue that their origin is related to their formation within Milky Way satellite galaxies that were later accreted, but the origin of the age–metallicity relation remains unclear.

A Phase II Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Oral fXa Inhibitor (LY517717) for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism Following TKR or THR.

Background: There is a continuing need for safe, effective and convenient therapies for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after major orthopedic surgery. LY517717 (LY), an oral direct inhibitor of activated factor X (fXa), has been well tolerated in healthy subjects and is being developed to address these needs. Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of LY and to determine whether one or more doses of LY is non-inferior to enoxaparin in preventing VTE in patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR). Methods: In a double-blind, double-dummy, dose-escalation study, patients undergoing TKR or THR were randomized to receive one of six oral doses of LY (25, 50, 75, 100, 125 or 150mg) or enoxaparin, 40 mg SC once daily. LY was administered fasting 6–8 hours after wound closure and then each morning. Enoxaparin was administered the night before surgery and then every evening. Both treatments were continued for a total of 6–10 doses. Patients underwent mandatory bilateral venography within 12 hours of the last dose of oral study drug and were assessed for symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and bleeding events through day 30 (±7). All VTE and bleeding events were adjudicated by a blinded independent central adjudication committee. DVT detected by mandatory venography and symptomatic DVT and PE events were included in the combined VTE endpoint. Non-inferiority would be declared if the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the absolute difference in VTE incidence between an LY dose and enoxaparin was less than 0.14. Results: 511 subjects were randomized. 507 patients received at least one dose of LY or enoxaparin and were included in the safety analyses. 391 patients had an evaluable bilateral venogram or experienced an objectively confirmed clinical VTE and were included in the efficacy analyses. The 3 lowest doses were stopped early due to lack of efficacy, and the study was completed with the 3 highest doses. VTE and bleed event data through the treatment and follow-up periods are summarized in the table. The 100, 125 and 150 mg doses of LY were non-inferior to enoxaparin in the incidence of symptomatic or venographic DVT or PE (upper limits for the 90% CI of the absolute differences are 0.13, 0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Adjudicated bleed events were uncommon in both LY and enoxaparin patients. Conclusion: The 100, 125 and 150 mg doses of LY517717 were as efficacious as enoxaparin 40 mg for the prevention of VTE following TKR or THR in this study. LY was safe and well tolerated by study patients, with no significant difference in bleeding risk compared with enoxaparin.
Amelioration of Inflammation Induced Oxidative Stress and Tissue Damage by Aqueous Methanolic Extract of Nigella sativa Linn. in Arthritic Rats

Pathology of rheumatoid arthritis suggests autoimmunity linked to inflammation. This study is an attempt to identify targets of inflammation in joints and amelioration of the disease process by a natural product.Wistar rats were immunised with collagen, disease developed after 13±1 days post induction. Nigella sativa Linn. aqueous methanolic extract was given at two diffferent dosages, viz. 400 and 500 mg/kg daily until the 20th day. The analysis of inflammation and associated protease activation was evaluated by myeloperoxidase (MPO) and articular elastase (ELA). Post inflammatory generation of various free radicals was checked by evaluating several enzymatic and non enzymatic parameters (GSH, SOD and catalase), including peroxidation of membranes. Finally, articular nitrite content was estimated as to highlight the tissue injury evidenced by histology caused by autoimmunity.Nigella sativa decreased MPO and associated elastase activity dose dependently (p < 0.001). Moreover, Nigella sativa decreased the lipid peroxidation (p < 0.001) with replenishment of GSH (p < 0.001) confirming their inverse nature. SOD activity increased significantly (p < 0.01), with a parallel increment in catalase activity (p < 0.01). Consistent with these findings, articular nitrite content was reduced (p < 0.01), which was further confirmed by the histological findings. Our study suggests autoimmune stimulation of inflammatory cells and associated oxidative stress as a putative mechanism of RA and possible prevention by N. sativa.
On the Arnolfini Portrait and the Lucca Madonna: Did Jan van Eyck Have a Perspectival System?

Exchanges on the topic of Jan van Eyck's pictorial constructions have been going on intermittently since the turn of the century. The most recent hypothesis, put forward in 1982–83, has if anything clouded the issue further by proposing an entirely new “elliptical perspective. ” The ensuing debate, which appeared in The Art Bulletin, raises fruitful questions for further research: the problem of knowing how accurate a reconstruction needs to be, and of how reconstructed lines should be interpreted. The present essay has two purposes. It attempts to settle the question of fan van Eyck's perspective, at least in the case of the Arnolfini Portrait and the Lucca Madonna, and to introduce a new, higher level of accuracy and reproducibility for perspectival reconstructions in general.1
Caring for Abused and Neglected Children: Making the Right Decisions for Reunification or Long-Term Care

The decision whether or not to reunify a child in care with their birth family is one of the most serious taken by children's services, and often involves considerable risk. This book examines the long-term consequences of this decision for children who entered public care for abuse or neglect. It compares the experiences and progress of children who remained in care or returned to their birth families up to four years after the decision was taken. It covers how the decision is made, the factors taken into account when making it and provides important suggestions for effective decision-making. It compares the progress made by the children in relation to their safety, stability and emotional well-being. The book demonstrates that, contrary to common belief, long-term care can be a positive option for maltreated children. This book provides important messages for reunification policy and practice in relation to maltreated children. It will be essential reading for social work practitioners, researchers and policy makers.
Anomalous High Origin of the Right Coronary Artery Above the Sinotubular Junction

Abnormal origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left side of ascending aorta and continuing between the aorta and the truncus pulmonalis is a very rare congenital anomaly. Systolic expansion of the aorta and pulmonary trunk may lead to compression of the coronary artery and result in myocardial ischemia, particularly with exertion. A 59-yearold man admitted to cardiology department with prolonged chest pain during exercise. Abnormal origin of RCA with an interarterial course between the aorta and pulmonary artery was observed on coronary angiography and multi-detector computed tomography coronary angiography (MCTCA). In addition, RCA output compression was reported on MCTCA.
