Neighborhood Context and Youth Physical Activity: Differential Associations by Gender and Age

Purpose: The goal of this research is to examine the extent to which facets of neighborhood sociodemographic contexts influence individual-level physical activity (PA) among youth. Design: Using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), geographic information systems (GIS), and census data sources, we explicitly test whether built environment factors have differential associations depending on the age and gender of the youth living in urban census tracts. Setting: Participants are from the NHANES 2003 to 2006 waves. Participants: The study sample for this article was 2706 youth aged 6 to 17 years with valid PA accelerometer measures. Measures: A measure of park accessibility was constructed from the 2006 park GIS layer in Environmental System Research Institute ArcGIS 9.3 data. Average daily minutes of moderate to vigorous PA in bouts equal to or longer than 1 minute were recorded using accelerometers over 4 to 7 days. Analysis: Analysis was conducted with SAS 9.2, including descriptive analyses and linear regression for PA. Results: Findings suggest that built environment features are especially salient for adolescents and youth living in urban areas. Vigorous activity varied by the age and gender of the youth. For example, greater distance to parks is associated with a decrease in PA among girls and boys aged 6 to 11 years. Among teens, distance to parks is significantly associated with decreases in PA among the total sample and among male teens. However, an increase in population density is associated with less time spent in PA among youth aged 6 to 11 years but more PA among teens. Conclusion: These analyses represent an important step to considering the implications of modifiable environmental features for youth and contrast with existing literature for adults. Results speak to the efficacy of built environment measures in urban communities and the importance of considering the possibility of differing patterns of associations in childhood and adolescence and by gender. Results from this research inform policy efforts to interdict in the growing trend of youth inactivity in the United States.
A New Millennium in Cognitive Neuropsychology Research: The Era of Individual Differences?

A critical area in cognitive neuropsychology in the coming century is that of individual differences in the structure and functional organization of the brain and how they relate to individual differences in cognitive abilities. I propose that underlying differences in the brain will prove crucial to our understanding of a variety of specialized talents, particularly in those who are intellectually gifted (as compared to average ability). I further speculate on some of the practical implications that future research in cognitive neuropsychology will have on the development of educational techniques designed to optimize the learning experiences of high-ability students.
Progress on dual harmonic acceleration on the isis synchrotron

The ISIS facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK is currently the most intense pulsed, spallation, neutron source. The accelerator consists of a 70 MeV H- linac and an 800 MeV, 50 Hz, rapid cycling proton synchrotron. The synchrotron beam intensity is typically 2.25 times 1013 protons per pulse, corresponding to a mean current of 180 muA. The synchrotron beam is accelerated using six, ferrite loaded, RF cavities with harmonic number 2. Four additional, harmonic number 4, cavities have been installed to increase the beam bunching factor with the potential to raise the operating current to 300 muA. The dual harmonic system has now been used operationally for the first time, running reliably throughout the last ISIS user cycle of 2006. This paper reports on the hardware commissioning, beam tests and improved operational results obtained so far with dual harmonic acceleration.
Costs and return analysis of fish farming in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State Nigeria

The study examines the costs and returns analysis of fish farming in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State. A twostage sampling technique was used to select 30 fish farmers from two local government areas in the Calabar metropolis. Data for the study were sourced via structured questionnaire and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics alongside budgetary techniques. Results showed that more men (70%) were involved in fish farming and that 33% were between the age brackets of 40 – 49 years, operating majorly (56,70%) on small scale basis with 40% of them having a family size of 2 - 4 persons and most (83.3%) being literates. The results of the budgetary analysis show that average total cost (TC) of ₦525,000 was incurred and total revenue (TR) of ₦650,000 was realized giving a returning gross margin (GM) of ₦425,000 with a Net farm income (NFI) of ₦125,000 per cycle. This is an indication that fish farming is profitable in the study area using a minimum of 1000 fingerlings for a start. From the results, feeds cost, production systems, education level and stocking density were important factors that influence fish output. Constraints perceived by most of the farmers include: high cost of fish feeds, lack of awareness and skilled personnel were identified ab initio that hindered fish production in the area. The study, therefore, recommended that the development of nutritive research institute for the development of fish feeds is a sine qua none for enhanced productivity in the fishery subsector in Nigeria.

Rising CEA Levels in a Patient with Colon Carcinoma: Metachronous Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Introduction Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a commonly used tumor marker, and its value in colon cancer is well established. However it is overexpressed in many different tumors. Here we report a case of colorectal cancer with high postoperative CEA levels that were associated with medullary thyroid carcinoma. Case A 60-year old man was operated for colon cancer. Postoperative CEA level was 107.6 ng/mL, while preoperative CEA level was unknown. For the detection of distant metastasis or local recurrence, we performed 18-flouro deoxyglycose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). We observed an increased FDG accumulation in the right lobe of the thyroid. The patient had cystic and non-metabolic lesions in the liver, and started a treatment with FOLFOX regimen. After 3 months of chemotherapy CEA was still as high as 146 ng/mL. There was no pathologic FDG uptake other than the thyroid nodule in PET-CT. Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid nodule revealed a follicular neoplasia. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and histopathology revealed a medullary thyroid carcinoma. Postoperative CEA levels then lowered to normal ranges. Conclusion The case we here report was a stage III colorectal cancer with high CEA levels. Our focus on searching a residual/metastatic disease made us blind to other possible explanations; in fact, none of us noticed the thyroid nodule. This case reminds us not to forget that high CEA levels can be associated with conditions other than colon cancer, such as thyroid medullary carcinoma.
Nonlinear dynamics of Kelvin–Helmholtz unstable magnetized jets: Three-dimensional effects

A numerical study of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in compressible magnetohydrodynamics is presented. The three-dimensional simulations consider shear flow in a cylindrical jet configuration, embedded in a uniform magnetic field directed along the jet axis. The growth of linear perturbations at specified poloidal and axial mode numbers demonstrate intricate nonlinear coupling effects. The physical mechanisms leading to induced secondary Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities at higher mode numbers are identified. The initially weak magnetic field becomes locally dominant in the nonlinear dynamics before and during saturation. Thereby, it controls the jet deformation and eventual breakup. The results are obtained using the Versatile Advection Code [G. Toth, Astrophys. Lett. Commun. 34, 245 (1996)], a software package designed to solve general systems of conservation laws. An independent calculation of the same Kelvin–Helmholtz unstable jet configuration using a three-dimensional pseudospectral code gives important insights into the coupling and excitation events of the various linear mode numbers.A numerical study of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in compressible magnetohydrodynamics is presented.

Review of New York Fed studies on the effects of post-crisis banking reforms

In 2017, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York initiated a project to examine the effects of post-crisis reforms on bank performance and vulnerability. The project, which was completed in June 2018, consisted of twelve studies evaluating a wide set of regulatory changes. The primary focus was how these regulatory changes affected the risk taking, funding costs, and profitability of banks, as well as their impact on liquidity. In this article, the authors survey the twelve papers that make up the project and place the principal findings in the context of the current academic and policymaking debate on the effects of post-crisis changes to financial regulation.

Elevated Thrombotic Activity after Myocardial Infarction: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study

This study examines the evolution of the thrombotic activity in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) treated with aspirin (200 mg/day) for 2 years after MI. Plasma samples of 10 patients were collected at 7, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 360 and 720 days. In all the samples we measured fibrinogen (Fg), high molecular weight Fg (HMW-Fg), fibrinopeptide A (FPA), prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), von Willebrand factor (vWF), tissue factor (TF) and TF pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The plasma Fg, HMW-Fg, FPA, F1+2, β-TG and vWF levels were significantly elevated in the patients at the beginning of the study as compared to the normal group. The 95% confidence intervals were Fg 277–333 mg/dl, HMW-Fg 200–244 mg/dl, FPA 5.3–16.5 ng/ml, F1+2 1.4–1.8 nmol/l, β-TG 110–118 IU/ml and vWF 139–195%. At thirty days Fg and HMW-Fg returned to normal levels, whereas the increase in FPA and F1+2 levels persisted throughout the study. At 120 and 150 days, respectively, β-TG and vWF returned to normal levels. The increase in thrombin generation and activity pointed to a persistent hypercoagulable state 2 years after MI. Plasma levels of TF and TFPI showed no statistically significant variations with respect to the normal values over the 2-year period studied. In conclusion, these results suggest a persistent generation and activity of thrombin and cellular activation in these patients after MI.

Social Support, Trust and Purchase Intention in Social Commerce Era

Due to increasing numbers of purchases in the onlineindustry has created trust as a critical path in an online environment. In fact, it is more critical when trust has identified as crucial in online commerce. Consumers are reluctant to have a purchase intention when they distrust towards the website. Consumers nowadays, who represent the future buyers, seem to have reasons how they can trust in online commerce and ultimately lead them to have purchase intention. Drawn from social support theory, trust and purchase intention, this research empirically is to test which characters of social support (emotional and informational support) have significant influence purchase intention and to test whether the trust has a significant influence on purchase intention. Furthermore, to test the mediating effects oftrust in social commerce. The research conducted in the quantitativeapproach and used non-probability (convenience sampling) by using questionnaire surveys. A correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied. A total of 200 respondents participated. Our results shed some lights on social commerce literature. The result confirms that there is a relationship between social supports such as emotional and informational support on purchase intention. Finding also revealed that trust as fully mediates the relationship between the variables. This research can entirelycontribute to the literature by providing and introducing to both marketers and consumers by identifying the factors influencing purchase intention in social commerce.
Potential male gametophyte competition among camellia sinensis genotypes in isolated biclonal seed orchards

Male fertility of crop plants is a function of pollen production and viability. In breeding, it is a requirement that there be similar fertilities among breeding parents within seed orchards. An in-vitro germination method was used in this study to determine variation in pollen viability among eight tea (Camellia sinensis) genotypes, over three flowering seasons in four isolated biclonal seed orchards located at two sites. The effect of environmental conditions on pollen germination was also studied on two popular genotypes, i.e. AHP SC31/37 (an assamica variety) and GW Ejulu-L (a sinensis variety) that were planted in both sites. Significant variation (P < 0.05) in pollen viability among the eight genotypes indicated a potential for male gametophyte competition. There was significant genotype by environment interaction and positive correlation between pollen viability and temperature. Pollen germination was, however, not affected by rainfall and humidity. The variations in pollen viability may contribute to the variable genetic composition of seed produced in the isolated seed orchards of tea.
Antimicrobial Resistance of Enteric Pathogens Isolated from Children with Acute Diarrhoea in Pattukkottai, Tamil Nadu, India

Acute gastroenteritis is a common infection among the children. The present study was conducted to study the bacterial pathogens in paediatric diarrhoeas and their antibiotic resistance pattern. Stool samples were collected between January 2012 to December 2012. A total of 118 patients with diarrhoea who were under five years of age. Stool samples were inoculated, isolated and identified using standard bacteriological methods. The majority of the isolates were E. coli (36.4%), followed by Aeromonas spp (22%), Salmonella spp. (18.6%), Shigella spp. (14.4%) and Vibrio spp (8.5%). All the bacterial isolates were 93.3% resistance to ampicillin. 92.4% to amoxicillin, 47% to cefixime, 42.7% to chlorampenical and 30.9% to nalidixic acid. The antimicrobial profile of all isolated bacteria Vibrio (45%), followed by Shigella (35.3%), Salmonella (32.3%), E.coli (30%), and Aeromonas (22.31%) showed high resistance rates against the tested 10 antimicrobials. The highest antimicrobial resistance rates were found against Ampicillin (93.3%) and Amoxicillin (92.4%). The isolates showed maximum sensitivity to Amikacin followed by cefotaxime, gentamycin, and ciprofloxacin. High level resistance to first line antimicrobials is due to unselected use of these drugs in low risk patients without complications. Periodic monitoring of drug resistance in enteric pathogens in each geographical area helps in choosing the appropriate antimicrobial agent for empiric therapy.
DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS INFLUENCING MALARIA INCIDENCE IN CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA

Although the physical environment provides the primary conditions for the breeding of malaria vectors, the socio-demographic environment also plays a significant role in the incidence of the disease. Nevertheless, relatively few multivariate studies have been carried to identify individual-level factors most influencing malaria in high risk areas. This study sets out to examine the demographic and socioeconomic factors of malaria incidence in Calabar, Cross River State. A set of 300 copies of questionnaire designed for the study were administered on household heads. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on a set of socioeconomic data to identify significant and major demographic/socioeconomic variables that predispose people to malaria. The PCA results identified type of accommodation (0.816), number of children (0.745), marital status (0.761) and occupation (-0.883) as the main socioeconomic variables that predispose people to malaria in the study area. These components accounted for 68.2% of total variance in the original data set. The study recommended that Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) and malaria vaccines should be made easily accessible to members of households alongside with environmental hygiene in order to reduce the incidence of malaria in the area.

Social Support Needs Identified by Mothers Affected by Intimate Partner Violence

In order to offer optimal supports and services for mothers affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), an understanding of these mothers’ perceptions of support needs, resources, barriers to support, and preferences for support intervention is warranted. Moreover, the growing recognition of the effects of IPV on maternal–infant relationships and of the importance of these early relationships to long-term child health outcomes suggests interventions are needed to support optimal maternal–infant relationships in these families. Thus, 64 mothers exposed to IPV when their infants were below 12 months of age participated in a retrospective qualitative study to identify mothers’ support needs, resources, barriers to support, and preferences for specific support interventions to promote optimal mother–infant relationships. Participants identified both personal needs (including needs for leaving or staying with the violent partner), along with intertwined needs to care for, and help, their infants cope with the experience of violence. Mothers reported that integrated services that include information and practical support from professionals with emotional and affirmation support from peers would promote positive, nurturing mother–infant relationships and healthy child development.
Mechanisms underlying ischemic diastolic dysfunction: relation between rigor, calcium homeostasis, and relaxation rate.

Increased diastolic chamber stiffness (upward arrow DCS) during ischemia may result from increased diastolic calcium, rigor, or reduced velocity of relaxation. We tested these potential mechanisms during severe ischemia in isolated red blood cell-perfused isovolumic rabbit hearts. Ischemia (coronary flow reduced 83%) reduced left ventricular (LV) contractility by 70%, which then remained stable. DCS progressively increased. When LV end-diastolic pressure had increased 5 mmHg, myofilament calcium responsiveness was altered with 50 mmol/l NH(4)Cl or 10 mmol/l butanedione monoxime. These affected contractility (i.e., a calcium-mediated force) but not upward arrow DCS. Second, quick length changes reversed upward arrow DCS, supporting a rigor mechanism. Third, ischemia increased the time constant of isovolumic pressure decline from 47 +/- 3 to 58 +/- 3 ms (P < 0.02) but concomitantly abbreviated the contraction-relaxation cycle, i.e., pressure dissipation occurred earlier without diastolic tetanization. Finally, to assess any link between rate of relaxation and upward arrow DCS, hearts were exposed to 10 mmol/l calcium. Calcium doubled contractility and accelerated relaxation velocity, but without affecting upward arrow DCS. Thus upward arrow DCS developed during ischemia despite severely reduced contractility via a rigor (and not calcium mediated) mechanism. Calcium resequestration capacity was preserved, and reduced relaxation velocity was not linked to upward arrow DCS.
