The Relationship between Cognitive Social Theory and Physical Activity in Pregnant Women

BackgroundAlthough following a suitable sports program with mild intensity promoted the health of mother's who had healthy pregnancy and caused no harm to the growing fetus; pregnant women usually choose to live a sedentary life. This study was conducted to determine the psychological factors related to physical activity in pregnant women. Materials and MethodsThis descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was conducted on 201 pregnant women who referred to Isfahan health center, Iran. Data gathering tools included a questionnaire on physical activity during pregnancy and a questionnaire to evaluate variables related to social cognitive theory. The validity of socio-cognitive questionnaires was approved by expert professors and their reliability was approved using internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha (above 0.6). Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16.0) through descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient test and linear regression.Results: The greatest amount of physical activity was related to activities in a moderate level. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between three variables of socio-cognitive theory and several levels of physical activity. There was also a significant relationship between variable of observational learning and physical activity in a moderate level and total activity (P<0.05) and a significant relationship between variable of social norms with all three levels of physical activity and total activity. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between outcome expectations and inactivity (P<0.05)Conclusion: Among the variables related to social cognitive theory, social norms as one of the environmental factors in interaction of the individual, the behavior and environment could be used to analyze the physical activity during pregnancy. Suitable interference focusing on social norms to promote physical activity in pregnant women should be considered.
Sixth Graders' Understanding of Their Own Learning: A Case Study in Environmental Education Course.

Knowing „what do I know‟ and thinking about „how do I learn‟, that is metacognition, is an important element in learning. The Finnish curriculum points out metacognition in the choice of the studying methods. The methods should help the students to become aware of their own learning, to develop better learning strategies, and skills to apply the strategies in new situations. In this qualitative case study the metacognition of Finnish sixth graders (N=19) was studied in a virtual learning environment, ENO Environmental Online. Pupils metacognitive knowledge and skills were studied in one ENO course. The aim was to describe what and how pupils monitor in their learning processes. It was found that 11year-old sixth graders possessed declarative and procedural metacognition, and also some conditional metacognition. In this study, the social component of learning was especially emphasized.
Smart material concept: reversible microstructural self-regeneration for catalytic applications

This paper presents a proof-of-concept study and demonstrates the next generation of a “smart” catalyst material, applicable to high temperature catalysis and electro-catalysis such as gas processing and as a catalyst for solid oxide cells. A modified citrate-gel technique was developed for the synthesis of LaxSr1−1.5xTi1−yNiyO3−δ. This method allowed the synthesis of single phase materials with a high specific surface area, after the first calcination step at temperatures as low as 650 °C. Up to 5 at% of nickel could be incorporated into the perovskite structure at this low calcination temperature. X-ray powder diffraction and microscopy techniques have proven the exsolution of nickel nanoclusters under low oxygen partial pressure. The amount of exsoluted nickel nanoparticles was sensitive to surface finishing, whereby much more exsoluted nanoparticles were observed on pre-treated and polished surfaces as compared to original ones. Increasing A-site deficiency leads to a larger number of nickel particles on the surface, indicating a destabilizing influence of the A-site vacancies on the B-site metal cations. Repetitive redox cycles prove that the nickel exsolution and re-integration is a fully reversible process. These materials working in a cyclic and repetitive way may overcome the drawbacks of currently used conventional catalysts used for high temperature systems and overcome major degradation issues related to catalyst poisoning and coarsening-induced aging.
Strategies to enhance the resilience of the world's seagrass meadows

Seagrass meadows provide a nursery for the fish we eat on a daily basis, they store the carbon that we pump into the atmosphere, and they keep our coasts and beaches clean. But there is now increasing evidence that these globally important work horses of the oceans are disappearing fast. What actions can conservationists and environmental managers take to reverse this loss? This perspectives paper provides a succinct list of 11 clear actions that can be used at local and regional scales to help reverse that loss and ensure that baby fish really do have a home in the future.
ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH

The endowment effect’s value judgment differentials may often reflect desire-based thinking in the absence of ownership (“How much do I want that? ”), versus appeal appraisal when ownership is present (“How much do I like this? ”). We demonstrate how frustrating product denial can concurrently counter-drive these constituents of value, establishing disparities opposite to those expected from the endowment effect. Parallel wanting-enhancement/liking-attenuation also generalized to different products in different categories, with only brand-name shared with a “jilted” target. Interaction with felt affect-intensity suggests coupling differences between distinguishable valuation sub-systems are key to predicting wanting-liking differentials consistent or inconsistent with the endowment effect.
THE LYME REGIS BOREHOLE, DORSET > PALYNOLOGY OF THE M ERCIA MUDSTONE, PENARTH AND LIAS GROUPS (UPPER TRIASSIC >LOWER JURASSIC.

The Lyme Regis Borehole was drilled in 1901 but remains the only one in Devon and Dorset that has been cored through the lower part of the Lias Group, the Penarth Group and most of the Mercia Mudstone Group. Samples from 24 of the 50 levels from which core is extant have been examined for palynomorphs. Carnian (early Late Triassic) miospores from 287 m below the top of the Mercia ; Mudstone Group are the lowest such occurrence in the region, and may be only 100m above the top of the Anisian (early Mid Triassic) Otter Sandstone Formation of the Sherwood Sandstone Group. The Blue Anchor Formation, at the top of the Mercia Mudstone Group, yielded Norian(? ) and Rhaetian (Late Triassic) miospores associated with acritarchs and foraminifer remains which give, 20.22 m below the top of the formation, the first indication of a transgression that resulted in the widespread establishment of marine conditions by the end of Triassic times. The Penarth Group has yielded Rhaetian palynomorph associations which are comparable with those documented from the group elsewhere in the British Isles and comprise miospores, dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs. Palynomorph assemblages recovered from the Lias Group are dominated by conifer pollen.
The effects of biofertilizers on physiological traits and biomass accumulation of red beans (Phaseolus vulgaris cv.Goli) under water stress

This field experiment was executed as the split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014. In a red bean irrigated farm, halt irrigation was implemented in main plots and the treatments included the control (full irrigation) and halt irrigation at vegetation, flowering, and pod development stages. In subplots utilization of biofertilizers were applied at four cases of control, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, potassium solubilizing bacteria, and combined application of these bacteria in soil. Results showed that halt irrigation and biofertilizers had significant interaction on red bean biomass. Normally, to achieve the highest biomass full irrigation and application of phosphorus and potassium solubilizing bacteria (8023 and 7978 kg ha-1) are suggested. But the use of biofertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers led to more water efficiency under low water condition. Finally, our results showed that maximum biomass in red bean (about 7985 kg. ha-1) was recorded in ecological nutrition management under limited water resources. In other words, halt irrigation at flowering stage was compensated by Bio-P and Bio-K fertilizer application as a logical method to mitigate and moderate biomass losses about 37%.
Analysis of spontaneous EEG activity in Alzheimer's disease using cross-sample entropy and graph theory

The aim of this pilot study was to analyze spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) activity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by means of Cross-Sample Entropy (Cross-SampEn) and two local measures derived from graph theory: clustering coefficient (CC) and characteristic path length (PL). Five minutes of EEG activity were recorded from 37 patients with dementia due to AD and 29 elderly controls. Our results showed that Cross-SampEn values were lower in the AD group than in the control one for all the interactions among EEG channels. This finding indicates that EEG activity in AD is characterized by a lower statistical dissimilarity among channels. Significant differences were found mainly for fronto-central interactions (p <; 0.01, permutation test). Additionally, the application of graph theory measures revealed diverse neural network changes, i.e. lower CC and higher PL values in AD group, leading to a less efficient brain organization. This study suggests the usefulness of our approach to provide further insights into the underlying brain dynamics associated with AD.
Comparison between seismic and domestic risk in moderate seismic hazard prone region: the Grenoble City (France) test site

Abstract. France has a moderate level of seismic activity, characterized by diffuse seismicity, sometimes experiencing earthquakes of a magnitude of more than 5 in the most active zones. In this seismicity context, Grenoble is a city of major economic and social importance. However, earthquakes being rare, public authorities and the decision makers are only vaguely committed to reducing seismic risk: return periods are long and local policy makers do not have much information available. Over the past 25 yr, a large number of studies have been conducted to improve our knowledge of seismic hazard in this region. One of the decision-making concerns of Grenoble's public authorities, as managers of a large number of public buildings, is to know not only the seismic-prone regions, the variability of seismic hazard due to site effects and the city's overall vulnerability, but also the level of seismic risk and exposure for the entire city, also compared to other natural or/and domestic hazards. Our seismic risk analysis uses a probabilistic approach for regional and local hazards and the vulnerability assessment of buildings. Its applicability to Grenoble offers the advantage of being based on knowledge acquired by previous projects conducted over the years. This paper aims to compare the level of seismic risk with that of other risks and to introduce the notion of risk acceptability in order to offer guidance in the management of seismic risk. This notion of acceptability, which is now part of seismic risk consideration for existing buildings in Switzerland, is relevant in moderately seismic-prone countries like France.
The EBLM project - I. Physical and orbital parameters, including spin-orbit angles, of two low-mass eclipsing binaries on opposite sides of the brown dwarf limit

This paper introduces a series of papers aiming to study the dozens of low mass eclipsing binaries (EBLM), with F, G, K primaries, that have been discovered in the course of the WASP survey. Our objects are mostly single-line binaries whose eclipses have been detected by WASP and were initially followed up as potential planetary transit candidates. These have bright primaries, which facilitates spectroscopic observations during transit and allows the study of the spin-orbit distribution of F, G, K+M eclipsing binaries through the Rossiter‐McLaughlin e ect. Here we report on the spin-orbit angle of WASP-30b, a transiting brown dwarf, and improve its orbital parameters. We also present the mass, radius, spin-orbit angle and orbital parameters of a new eclipsing binary, J1219‐39b (1SWAPJ121921.03‐395125.6, TYC 7760-484-1), which, with a mass of 95 2 Mjup, is close to the limit between brown dwarfs and stars. We find that both objects orbit in planes that appear aligned with their primaries’ equatorial planes. Neither primaries are synchronous. J1219‐39b has a modestly eccentric orbit and is in agreement with the theoretical mass‐radius relationship, whereas WASP-30b lies above it.
ZnO Nanoparticles as Feed Supplement on Growth Performance of Cultured African Catfish Fingerlings

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) (T 1 ) and macro zinc oxide (ZnO) (T 2 ) as feed additives against basal diet (control), on the growth performance, blood parameters and carcass quality of African catfish. nZnO was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic techniques. Different levels (0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 g Kg -1 ) of each of the treatments (T 1 and T 2 ) were supplemented to a basal fish feed and, together with the control, fed to different groups of the fingerlings for a period of 7 weeks. Fish fed control diet (C) showed significantly (p < 0.05) lower percent weight gain compared to those fed T 1 and T 2 diets at the end of the experimental period. T 1 showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher performance as compared to T2. Protein content was significantly higher in control diet fed fish compared to those fed T 1 and T 2 diets, and significantly higher in fish fed T2 compared to those fed T 1 diets. Fat content in fish followed the dietary sequence T 1 < T 2 < Control. Hematological parameters (RBCs, WBCs, Hb and Hct) increased significantly in the order Control < T 1 < T 2 . Nano form of zinc oxide was found to be a better form of dietary zinc supplement than bulk zinc oxide
The Efﬁcacy of Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide Laser on Skin Wound Healing in Guinea Pigs

Background: Skin wounds have serious human consequences including pain, lost work days and marked reduction in quality of life. Many studies were conducted to seek new therapeutic methods for resolving or minimizing failures of tissue repair including therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation and low power laser light. The laser technique was used in the treatment of wounded tissue by inducing vascular dilatation, collagen synthesis and by increasing tissue oxygenation. The suitable energy density of laser is still of debate. Aim of the Work: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser of different energy densities on the skin healing process. Material and Methods: This study was carried out on 45 adult guinea pigs. In each animal two fullthickness wounds (A & B) were induced with surface area of 200 mm2 each. Wound A was irradiated by GaAlAs laser daily at a wave length of 905 nm and wound B was used as a sham control. The animals were randomly divided into three equal groups (I, II & III) which were exposed to laser energy densities of 4, 30 & 60 J/cm2 respectively. Each group was subdivided into 3 equal subgroups (5 animals each) a, b & c and received laser daily for one, two & three weeks respectively. The wounds' surface areas (WSA) were measured. The animals were sacriﬁced one day after last laser application and pieces of unwounded skin as a control and skin fragments at the different wounds edges were collected. They were subjected to Hematoxylin & Eosin and Mallory Trichrome techniques and examined by light microscopy. Results: There was very highly signiﬁcant decrease in WSA and enhancement of healing in laser-treated wounds compared to the sham control ones. Conclusion: Treatment with GaAlAs laser of different intensities was able to induce several modiﬁcations that accelerated the wound healing with best results obtained for energy density of 60 J/cm2
Supplemental L-arginine Modulates Developmental Pulmonary Hypertension in Broiler Chickens Fed Reduced-Protein Diets and Reared at High Altitude

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemental L-arginine (ARG) in reduced-protein diets on cardiopulmonary performance and intestinal morphology in the broilers reared at high altitude. A total of 156 day-old male broilers were randomly assigned to 3 treatments and 4 replicates of 13 chicks and reared up to 42 days of age. Treatment groups were designed as a normal-protein diet (NPD), a reduced-protein diet (RPD) with 30 g/Kg less crude protein compared to the NPD, and a reduced-protein diet plus 4 g/Kg L-arginine (RPD + ARG). There were no significant differences among dietary treatments for intestinal morphology and weight gain. Feed conversion ratio was improved in the chickens fed RPD + ARG compared to those fed RPD alone. The right to total ventricular weight ratio (RV:TV) was significantly increased in the chickens fed RPD when compared to those fed NPD or RPD + ARG. Serum nitric oxide and amplitude of the S waves of electrocardiogram significantly declined by reducing dietary protein content. Relative expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) gene was higher in the heart and lungs of chicks fed RPD than those fed NPD and it was off set when ARG supplemented to RPD (P). In conclusion, supplementing reduced-protein diets with ARG would be an effective strategy to prevent the development of pulmonary hypertension by increase in nitric oxide, and decrease in RV:TV and ET-1 gene expression.
Automated Mango Fruit Grading System Using Fuzzy Logic

This paper concentrates on the size of mango fruit. Mangoes grading by humans in current agricultural industry are subjective, inconsistent and inefficient because there is an individual difference in visual inspecting which is affected by environment, physical and psychological conditions. In this paper, fuzzy logic is used to create a novel grading method. A membership function and fuzzy rules are generated from training instances based on minimum entropy formulas. Computer and Red Green and Blue (RGB) fiber optic sensor are used to examine and clarify data corresponding to human judgment and intelligence. A total of 77.78% of accuracy is achevied under the proposed method which capable of differentiating three different grades of mango. This paper offers a competent practice and capable to be applied to improve and standardize the current mango fruit grading system.
Micromorphology and histochemistry of leaf trichomes of Salvia aegyptiaca (Lamiaceae)

We performed a comprehensive study of trichomes considering the medicinal importance of the essential oils produced in glandular trichomes of Salvia aegyptiaca L. and lack of data about leaf trichome characteristics. Micromorphological and histochemical analyses of the trichomes of S. aegyptiaca were carried out using light and scanning electron microscopy. We report that the leaves contained abundant non-glandular unbranched trichomes and two types of glandular trichomes, peltate and capitate, on both leaf surfaces. The abaxial leaf side was covered with numerous peltate and capitate trichomes, while capitate trichomes were more abundant on the adaxial leaf side, where peltate trichomes were rarely observed. The non-glandular trichomes were unicellular papillae and multicellular, uniseriate, two-to-six-celled, erect or slightly leaning toward the epidermis. Peltate trichomes were composed of a basal cell, a short cylindrical stalk cell and a broad head of eight secretory cells arranged in a single circle. Capitate trichomes consisted of a one-celled glandular head, subtended by a stalk of variable length, and classified into two types: capitate trichomes type I (or short-stalked glandular trichomes) and capitate trichomes type II (or long-stalked glandular trichomes). Histochemical tests showed that the secreted material in all types of S. aegyptiaca glandular trichomes was of a complex nature. Positive reactions to lipids for both types of glandular trichomes were obtained, with especially abundant secretion observed in peltate and capitate trichomes type II.
Structural collapse and superconductivity in rare-earth-doped CaFe2As2

Aliovalent rare-earth substitution into the alkaline-earth site of CaFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ single crystals is used to fine tune structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of this iron-based superconducting system. Neutron and single-crystal x-ray scattering experiments indicate that an isostructural collapse of the tetragonal unit cell can be controllably induced at ambient pressures by the choice of substituent ion size. This instability is driven by the interlayer As-As anion separation, resulting in an unprecedented thermal expansion coefficient of $180\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ K${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Electrical transport and magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal abrupt changes in the physical properties through the collapse as a function of temperature, including a reconstruction of the electronic structure. Superconductivity with onset transition temperatures as high as 47 K is stabilized by the suppression of antiferromagnetic order via chemical pressure, electron doping, or a combination of both. Extensive investigations are performed to understand the observations of partial volume-fraction diamagnetic screening, ruling out extrinsic sources such as strain mechanisms, surface states, or foreign phases as the cause of this superconducting phase that appears to be stable in both collapsed and uncollapsed structures.
Synthesis of Y-tip graphitic nanoribbons from alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition on piezoelectric substrate

We report the synthesis of Graphitic Nanoribbons (GNRs) using Alcohol Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (ACCVD). Bulk GNR was synthesized directly on a piezoelectric substrate using one-step ACCVD. The synthesized GNRs were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Raman spectroscopy. The characterization results showed Y-tip morphology of bulk and filamentous as-grown GNR having varying width that lies between tens and hundreds of nm and length of several microns. Based on the thickness obtained from the AFM and the analysis from the Raman spectroscopy, it was concluded that the synthesized GNRs are multiple-layered and graphitic in nature. With the direct synthesis of GNR on a piezoelectric substrate, it could have applications in the sensor industries, while the Y-tip GNR could have potentialities in semiconductor applications.
