Effect of Nano particles against cigarette beetle ( Lasioderma serricorne Fabricius ) in cured turmeric rhizomes ( Curcuma longa Linnaeus )

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different nano particles, viz, Nano silica @ 0.5g kg1, 0.25g kg-1, 0.175g kg-1 of cured turmeric rhizomes, Nano alumina @ 0.5g kg-1, 0.25g kg-1,0.175g kg-1 of cured turmeric rhizomes, Nano clay @ 0.5g kg-1, 0.25g kg-1, 0.175g kg-1 of cured turmeric rhizomes and Diatomaceous earth @ 5g kg-1 of cured turmeric rhizomes (check) along with control. All the treatments were replicated thrice. Among the three nanocides, nano silica applied at 0.5 and 0.25 g kg-1 dosages showed the superior performance of the over other treatments at one day after treatment followed by nano silica at 0.175 g kg-1 which caused higher mortality, reduced oviposition and adult emergence of L. serricorne and has a great promise in cigarette beetle pest management.
THE EFFECT OF WORKAHOLISM AND WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT ON BURNOUT IN HOSPITALITY ENTERPRISES

The aim of this researchis to measure hotel employees’ perception of workaholism and work-family conflict, and the relationship between this perception and burnout. With this aim; a four sectioned survey has been implied to 235 mid-level and senior managers chosen by Convenient Sampling Method from 4 and 5 star hotels located different areas of Istanbul. The first section of the survey includes sociodemografic questions; the second section includes Workaholism Questionnaire developed by Spence and Robbins (1992) in order to measure the workaholism level. The third section includes the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire developed by Netemeyer, Boles and McMurrian (1996) in order to measure work-family conflict levels, and the fourth section includes the Maslach Burn-out Questionnaire developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) in order to measure burn-out levels of the employees. In the research; frequency analysis, reliability test, and regression analysis for determining the relationship between workaholism, work-family conflict and burn-out have been used. According to the findings, it has been found that hotel employees’ work-family conflict levels increase as their workaholism levels increase and their burn-out levels increase as their work-family conflict levels increase. The Effect Of Workaholısm And Work-Famıly Conflıct On Burnout In Hospıtalıty Enterprıses The Journal of Academic Social Science Yıl:7, Sayı: 89, Mart 2019, s. 529-543 530 In addition, it has been concluded that employees’ workaholism and work-family conflict levels are effective on their burn-out levels.
PolicyLint: Investigating Internal Privacy Policy Contradictions on Google Play

Privacy policies are the primary mechanism by which companies inform users about data collection and sharing practices. To help users better understand these long and complex legal documents, recent research has proposed tools that summarize collection and sharing. However, these tools have a signiﬁ-cant oversight: they do not account for contradictions that may occur within an individual policy. In this paper, we present PolicyLint, a privacy policy analysis tool that identiﬁes such contradictions by simultaneously considering negation and varying semantic levels of data objects and entities. To do so, PolicyLint automatically generates ontologies from a large corpus of privacy policies and uses sentence-level natural language processing to capture both positive and negative statements of data collection and sharing. We use PolicyLint to analyze the policies of 11,430 apps and ﬁnd that 14.2% of these policies contain contradictions that may be indicative of misleading statements. We manually verify 510 contradictions, identifying concerning trends that include the use of misleading presentation, attempted redeﬁnition of common understandings of terms, conﬂicts in regulatory deﬁnitions (e.g., US and EU), and “laundering” of tracking information facilitated by sharing or collecting data that can be used to derive sensitive information. In doing so, PolicyLint signiﬁ-cantly advances automated analysis of privacy policies.
Sakati Syndrome : Case reports from Egypt q

Background: Sanjad Sakati Syndrome (SSS) is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder. It is characterized by congenital hypoparathyroidism, severe prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, dysmorphic features, as well as mild to severe mental retardation. The prevalence of this syndrome is not known. Reported patients were almost exclusively from the Arabian Peninsula. The syndrome has equal distribution for both sexes and has severe and often fatal consequences. Although some of the features seen in SSS resemble DiGeorge Syndrome, Kenny-Caffey Syndrome and familial Hypoparathyroidism, lack of association with normal intelligence, cardiac lesion, lymphopenia or skeletal abnormalities makes it a distinct entity. SSS is caused by mutations in the gene-encoding tubulin-specific chaperone E (TBCE; 604934), located on chromosome 1q42.3. SSS is listed in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM] #241410. We report on three Egyptian cases of Sanjad-Sakati Syndrome, one case being confirmed by molecular diagnosis. Cases: They have typical dysmorphic facial features comprised of a narrow face, deep-set eyes, a beaked nose, large floppy ears, a thin upper lip and micrognathia. The three cases showed growth retardation of variable degrees. Cardiac examination was normal in all cases. Laboratory results showed low total calcium, low ionized calcium, high serum phosphorous, normal alkaline phosphatase level, and low or normal serum parathyroid hormone which are essential for diagnosing hypoparathyroidism. Conclusion: This diagnosis allowed for proper treatment of the patients, prevented associated comorbidities, provided a genetic counseling to their families, and enriched the genetic data concerning this syndrome on the Egyptian population being reported for the first time. 2017 The Egyptian Pediatric Association.

Grouping Genetic Algorithm with Efficient Data Structures for the University Course Timetabling Problem

An efficient grouping genetic algorithm (GGA) was proposed by R. Lewis and B. Paechter (2007) to find feasible timetables for a version of the university course timetabling problem (UCTP). The algorithm proved to be efficient to construct feasible solutions for the UCTP benchmark instances (International Timetabling Competition 2002). In addition, the authors proposed a new set of harder instances, in order to better analyze their algorithm. In this paper, we propose an adequate data structure for the algorithm and preprocessing techniques that signficantly improve its efficiency. The organization of the paper is as follows. Section 2 defines the UCTP and presents the main characteristics of the GGA. Section 3 and 4 describes our contributions for the GGA applied to UCTP. Finally, Section 5 presents computational experiments and the conclusions.
High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation : an in vitro agarose gel model

Purpose: There are many ultrasound studies involve the use of tissue-mimicking materials to research phenomena in vitro and predict in vivo biological effects. The goal of our study was to establish a typical agarose gel model of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for empirical study. Materials and methods: In this study, the model consists of human pancreatic tissues embedded in an agarose gel. The Sprague Dawley (SD) rat liver tissues were encapsulated in agarose gel and ablated by HIFU. The changes in vitro after ablation were assessed using ultrasonography, pathological examination, and histochemical staining. Results: After HIFU treatment, the results showed that the ultrasonic echo signal of the ablating region was strong, and the necrosis at the center of the ablation was monitored using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Shrinkage, chromatin condensation, nuclear condensation and fragmentation of the mouse liver cancer cells were assessed during pathological examination. Acid phosphatase (ACP) and succinic dehydrogenase staining (SDH) were negative in the experimental group. Discussion: Our study demonstrated that agarose model was appropriate for HIFU ablation in in vitro human tissues. The in vitro model may provide a useful tool for studying ablation induced by HIFU and facilitate further investigation of HIFU in anticancer therapeutics.
Analysis of Homicidal Deaths in Menoufiya Governorate , Egypt from 2006 to 2010

Homicide is a reflection of extreme aggression and examined at medicolegal centres to determine the cause and the manner of death. This study was done on autopsies conducted at Menoufiya Governorate Medicolegal Centre during 5-years period from 2006-2010 to know the pattern of homicide and to determine how autopsy information influences the outcome of police inquest. Information was obtained from all medicolegal reports of homicidal deaths and statistically analyzed. The total number of postmortem examinations was 3215; of these 6.9% homicide autopsies were performed over the study period; it showed progressive increase in number through the period of the study. The homicide rate was 0.0069 per 100,000 populations. The majority (64%) of victims were in the 21-50 years age groups, farmers (26.1%) and males (69.4%). Most (46.4%) incidences occurred during summer, among family members (45%) followed by friends and neighbors, took place outdoor (62%) and 56.3% of homicides occurred in rural areas. The majority of homicide deaths were caused by Sharp instruments (41%), blunt instruments (28.4%), followed by firearm weapons (14.9%). Causes of death were head injury (36.6%) and occurred among males, while burn was more common among females and asphyxia were equally distributed. Committing homicides by related offenders in places not related to the victims and detecting that by autopsy were findings of most important. The cases have been labeled as homicide on the basis of autopsy which confirmed police inquest, thus autopsy should be done in all cases suspected to be homicide by police.
7-1-2013 Methods And Metrics For Measuring The Success Of Enterprise Social Software-What We Can Learn From Practice And Vice Versa

With Enterprise Social Software (ESS) being increasingly used for internal communication and collaboration, an important question is how their success can be measured. In this paper we contribute to answering this question by investigating which methods and metrics organizations are currently applying for measuring ESS success. To do so, we have conducted 26 interviews with persons responsible for the deployment and use of ESS in their company. We found that measuring ESS success in the studied companies mainly focuses on the analysis of usage. We attribute this to the fact that ESS is primarily characterized by an abundance of user-generated content that can be easily analyzed. At the same time, companies still face difficulties in the evaluation of the business value of the platforms. We attribute this to some characteristics of ESS that we will discuss in this paper. Our study is supposed to provide a comprehensive overview of the methods and metrics applied in practice to measure ESS success.
Running head: ADHD, ASD AND EEG Overlaps and Distinctions between Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Young Adulthood: Systematic Review and Guiding Framework for EEG Research

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) frequently co-occur. However, we know little about the neural basis of the overlaps and distinctions between these disorders, particularly in young adulthood – a critical time window for brain plasticity across executive and socioemotional domains. Here, we systematically review 75 articles investigating ADHD and ASD in young adult samples (mean ages 16 to 26) using cognitive tasks, with neural activity concurrently measured via electroencephalography (EEG) – the most accessible neuroimaging technology. The majority of studies focused on event-related potentials (ERPs), with some beginning to capitalise on oscillatory approaches. Overlapping and specific profiles for ASD and ADHD were found mainly for four neurocognitive domains: attention processing, performance monitoring, face processing and sensory processing. No studies in this age group directly compared both disorders or considered dual diagnosis with both disorders. Moving forward, understanding of ADHD, ASD and their overlap in young adulthood would benefit from an increased focus on crossdisorder comparisons, using similar paradigms and in well-powered samples and longitudinal cohorts.
Determination of Some Trace Elements and Macro Minerals in Grewia Mollis Plant Parts

The study was carried out to determine the concentration of trace and micro elements in parts of Grewia mollis, a plant used as food and as medicine by the Bura and Tangale people of Borno and Gombe state Nigeria respectively. The leaves stem bark and root bark of the plant were usually pulverised and used in cooking and in medicinal preparation for the treatment of infection and other disease by the folklore among the Bura and Tangale people of Borno and Gombe state respectively. The elemental determination was carried out using ICP-OES and wet digestion method. The highest concentration of the trace elements was found with iron in the leaves of the plant and the least concentration of the trace elements was found in the leaves with cadmium and molybdenum which were zero. The highest concentration of the macro elements were seen with calcium in the root bark of the plant, while the least was sodium in the leaves of the plant. Majority of the trace elements were in the recommended limits set by WHO and some countries for edible and medicinal plants with few going above the recommended limits. Based on the result the plant Grewia mollis is rich in macro and micro element and can be used by the folk lore to supplement the requirements of these minerals with caution thereby improving the health status of the people.
The haematophagous arthropods ( Animalia : Arthropoda ) of the Cape Verde Islands : a review

Arthropoda is the most diverse phylum of the animal kingdom. The majority of bloodsucking arthropods of public health concern are found in two classes, Arachnida and Insecta. Mosquitoes, ticks, cattle flies, horseflies and biting midges are the main hematophagous groups occurring in the Cape Verde Islands and whose role in infectious disease transmission has been established. In this literature review, the main morphological and biological characters and their role in the cycle of disease transmission are summarized.
Labour market insecurity and its impact on labour market entry and early career . A Comparison of Germany , Britain and Spain

Over the last decades a growing deregulation and flexibility of labour markets in Europe can be observed, leading to an increase in various precarious employment relationships (Esping-Andersen and Regini, 2000; Heery and Salmon, 2000; Ladipo and Wilkinson, 2002). Labour market integration appears increasingly fragmented and involves periods of temporary and part-time employment, unemployment, economic inactivity, job experimentation along with gainful employment during educational upgrading (OECD, 1996a, 1996b, 1998). This paper focuses on youth labour market integration in Germany, Britain and Spain in the 1990s. These countries entered on disparate and rather fast-paced flexible paths that are deeply rooted in their country-specific institutional context which in turn may impose different types, levels and consequences of insecurity (Deakin and Reed, 2000; Fuchs and Schettkat, 2000; Toharia and Malo, 2000; Regini, 2000). Starting from these theoretical considerations, this paper has a three-step endeavour. Firstly, it offers a description of the transition into employment and outlines whether and to what extent labour market entrants are confronted with job insecurity. Secondly, it aims to relate individual degrees of satisfaction with job security with actual employment relationships. Thirdly, it describes longitudinal employment profiles in early labour market careers and thus inquires into patterns of instability. The next section outlines the main lines of the theoretical framework and research hypotheses. This is followed by a presentation of data and statistical methods. Using data from the first three waves of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP, 19941996), the principal part of this paper inquires into labour market insecurity and its impact on labour market integration in Germany, Britain and Spain. The following section includes the presented findings in a broader picture of labour market integration of young job seekers in Europe. A discussion of major findings and concluding remarks complete the chapter.
Globalization and the Industrial Revolution Insper Working Paper

This paper argues that trade specialization played an indispensable role in supporting the Industrial Revolution. We calibrate a two-good and two-sector overlapping generations model to Englands historical development and investigate how much different Englands development path would have been if it had not globalized in 1840. We show that the two-sectors closed economy model cannot explain the fall in the value of land relative to wages observed in the 19th century and that, absent globalization, the British economy would never have escaped its Malthusian trap. Key words: Industrial revolution; International trade; Malthusian trap.

Multilayer Perceptron Using Levenberg Marquardt Algorithm for Imbalanced Data

Supervised Learning algorithms learn from training dataset. If dataset has unequal distribution among number of samples of classes, classifier gives inaccurate results for minor class and correct results for major class. This paper studies the cost sensitive learning of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network to overcome this problem. This cost sensitive approach is for binary dataset which modifies the objective function. By this change, network produces accurate results for minor class also. Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) weight updation algorithm is used for network learning. It is fast and efficient algorithm for neural network training rather than other weight updation algorithms. Statistical results performed on real time dataset, shows that how fast the training is with LM algorithm. Also the result shows that MLP classifier produces accurate results for both major and minor dataset.
Improvement of yeast-based production of itaconic acid guided by in silico metabolic modelling

Itaconic acid (IA) is a dicarboxylic acid considered a promising building block that can be used in a wide range of industrial applications. In this work the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 was used as a cell factory for the production of IA. Transformation of yeast cells with the pGAL1-AtCad1 plasmid, which drives expression the cis-acconitic acid decarboxylase cadA, enabled production of IA up to 65 mg/L. Together with itaconic acid it was observed a concomitant production of a given by product, this representing the main competitive pathway of IA biosynthesis. Based on this observation and on other evidences, it is proposed that the biosynthesis of IA in yeast cells does not require mitochondrial activity. The use of a strain devoid of pyruvate decarboxylase activity as a host for the production of IA resulted in a high production of IA. The improved performance of this strain was linked with a very reduced production of the above indicated by-product suggesting that this strain has an optimized metabolism towards IA biosynthesis. Using in silico metabolic modeling several candidate gene deletions were identified as promising strategies to improve IA biosynthesis in the BY4741 background. At least one of the deletion mutants identified exhibited a 4% increase in IA production and 14% increase in productivity, comparing with the levels attained in the wild-type strain. Key-words: itaconic acid, S. cerevisiae, AtCad1, FBA, metabolic model
Siple Coast Project research of Crary Ice Rise and the mouths of Ice Streams B and C, West Antarctica: review and new perspectives

Abstract Satellite imagery is used as a basis to review and critique the results of studies at the mouths of Ice Streams Β and C and Crary Ice Rise. In many cases, these past analyses are extended by taking advantage of the broad coverage within each image. New perspectives are provided by the image data and some longstanding controversies are resolved. The grounding line is easily delineated and mapped in areas covered by imagery. Extensive areas of grounded ice with complex patterns of flow stripes are identified on the flanks of Crary Ice Rise. The imagery also allows a corrected map of surface topography in the vicinity of the Downstream Β camp. New questions are posed by hitherto unseen features. Data from the IGY traverse of the Ross Ice Shelf in 1957 are included to demonstrate that large changes have occurred in the past almost 30 years in the area upstream of Crary Ice Rise. These changes include modifications in the surface topography, elimination of crevasses and increases in the ice thickness by approximately 60 m.
Bachelor thesis in Human Geography Profiling visitors to Dalarna Museum

Prior studies on museum visitors are extensively centred on national museums, the studies on regional museums are scarce. To fill in the academic gap, a research is proposed concerning the visitors of Dalarna Museum, a regional museum in Sweden. With an aim to profile visitors’ demographic characteristics and investigate the motivational factors that influence visitors’ frequency of visits, a face-to-face questionnaire survey was implemented at Dalarna Museum. To get visitors’ demographic characteristics, a few closed and open questions are devised to profile visitors’ gender, age, occupation, income, education, number of children and residence place. To investigate the motivational factors that influence visitors’ frequency of visits, a seven-point Likert questionnaire is employed with 17 motivational factors included. During a 12-day data collection, 372 visitors were invited to participate in the questionnaire survey, whereof 357 had filled in the questionnaire, generating a response rate that is as high as 96 percent. After data cleansing, there are 355 completed and valid responses in total. According to the results, some of visitors’ demographic characteristics are similar including gender, age, occupation, income, and number of children. However, the characteristics regarding visitors’ residence places and educational attainments are different comparing the frequent visitors to occasional visitors. Through running a multiple regression analysis, 13 out of the 17 motivational factors are detected having significant influences on visitors’ frequency of visits to Dalarna Museum, of which the most influential one is visitors’ day-outs with their friends and relatives.
