Transforming Breast Cancer Diagnosis in Ras Al Khaimah

Breast cancer is the most common cancer-related disease in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2012). The number of new cases of breast cancer has increased rapidly since 2002 (Albeshan, Mackey, Hossain, Alfuraih, & Brennan, in press). Breast cancer in the UAE is characterized by three features; first an increasing number of new but late diagnoses, which is also associated with a higher number of deaths; second, cultural taboos and fatalistic beliefs that deter women from adopting effective preventive and diagnostic strategies; and third, a younger age of diagnosis, which makes detection more difficult due to an associated increased mammographic density in younger women. These three factors indicate that a tailored approach to breast cancer early detection and screening for the UAE women is required.
The application of a remote early intervention model for primary percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI patients

Objective: Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) usually occurs in people with coronary artery disease. Once the unstable atherosclerotic plaque ruptures, bleeding and intraluminal thrombus will occur. Methods: Fifty patients treated with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a remote early intervention were selected as an observation group, and 50 patients treated with emergency PCI directly were selected as a control group. The two groups were analyzed retrospectively. The time from symptom onset to first medical contact (SO-to-FCM), the first medical contact to balloon dilatation (FMC-to-B) time, door to balloon (D-toB) time, and the total ischemia time (TIT) of the patients in the two groups were recorded. Results: The SO-to-FMC, FMC-to-B, D-to-B, and TIT times in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05), and the standard-reaching rates of SO-FMC and D-to-B of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The time to peak of CK-MB and cTnI of the patients in the observation group was earlier and the peak value was lower (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: The remote early intervention model can significantly shorten the time of primary percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI patients and improve prognosis, so it is worthy of clinical application.
A popularity-based approach for effective Cloud offload in Fog clusters

Recent research has put forward the concept of Fog computing, a deported intelligence for IoT networks. Fog clusters are meant to complement current cloud deployments, providing compute and storage resources directly in the access network – which is particularly useful for low-latency applications. However, Fog deployments are expected to be less elastic than cloud platforms, since elasticity in Cloud platforms comes from the scale of the data-centers. Thus, a Fog node dimensioned for the average traffic load of a given application will not be able to handle sudden bursts of traffic. In this paper, we explore such a use-case, where a Fog-based latency-sensitive application must offload some of its processing to the Cloud. We build an analytical queueing model for deriving the statistical response time of a Fog deployment under different request Load Balancing (LB) strategies, contrasting a naive, an ideal (LFU-LB, assuming a priori knowledge of the request popularity) and a practical (LRU-LB, based on online learning of the popularity with an LRU filter) scheme. Using our model, and confirming the results through simulation, we show that our LRU-LB proposal achieves close-to-ideal performance, with high savings on Cloud offload cost with respect to a request-oblivious strategy in the explored scenarios.
Numerical and experimental analysis of long range guided waves for nondestructive testing of pipes

In this paper numerical and experimental analysis of long range guided waves for non destructive testing of pipes is carried out. Guided waves based NonDestructiveTesting (NDT) methods offer considerable advantages over conventional techniques because they allow the inspection of wide areas from a single point of measure; therefore they are currently being investigated by some researchers. The analysis of the measured data from guided wave propagation in pipes requires advanced processing data systems to extract the right information on defect size and location. Then, a full comprehension of the physical phenomena underlying this technique is fundamental for a successful and reliable use of this technique. Then combined numerical and experimental analyses are of fundamental importance. In this paper a finite element code is used to numerical simulate the guided wave phenomenon in pipes. Furthermore, an experimental set-up showing critical characteristics has been arranged for the testing of the numerical data.
How Does the Heat Affect Cognition of the Professors ’ Moral Judgment ?

People illness by the heat is an obligated discussion lately. The heat affects the cognitive activity of people and the women are especially affected by it. So, the cognitive reasoning of the Moral Judgment is influenced by this kind of weather, and indirectly by the sex. To study the sex and heat incidence on Moral Judgment of university professors was the purpose of this research. The university professors are moral agents because they complement and supplant the family regulations and the educative precedent rules. The Moral Judgment of 212 superior education professor was registered by the Moral Judgment Test. 121 professors in a dry weather and 91 in a tropical were measured, 98 women and 114 men. The sex neither the heat explained the moral judgment level of professors. But this competence in the professors observed a low level. This suggests that actions to improve moral judgment must be made. So, the antecedents, the theory, and the findings are discussed in this article.
New records and new information on four eel species from Oman ( Teleostei : Anguilliformes : Congridae , Muraenesocidae )

Four species of marine eels are reported for the first time from waters of Oman in the western Arabian Sea. Conger macrocephalus Kanazawa, 1958 (Congridae) was known previously only from the Philippines and Taiwan. We report one specimen from Oman. “Congromuraena” musteliceps Alcock, 1894 (Congridae), a species of uncertain generic classification, was previously known only from the type series collected in the Bay of Bengal. We report two specimens from Oman and provide an extended description of the species and comment on its relationships. Xenomystax trucidans Alcock, 1894 (Congridae) has been known only from the holotype collected in the Bay of Bengal. We redescribe the species on the basis of three specimens from Oman and provide a key to the known species of the genus. Sauromuraenesox vorax Alcock, 1889 (Muraenesocidae) was known previously from the Bay of Bengal. We report three specimens from Oman and one from the eastern Arabian Sea.
Socio-economic Determinants of Maternal Healthcare Behaviour: Evidence from Pakistan

Maternal healthcare behaviour is a complex behavioural phenomenon. Studies refer to maternal healthcare behaviour as a determinant of individual, household and social factors such as accessibility, affordability and awareness regarding health care. Using the Pakistan Demographic and Household Survey, 201213, the study aims to identify the socio-economic determinants of maternal healthcare behaviour of women in Pakistan. Women’s health is a neglected area of study in Pakistan; particularly at household level thus this study will provide an insight into this sensitive area. Empirical estimation is carried out through simple econometric procedure. The econometric specifications followed in the study identify the potential variables that could influence pre and postnatal healthcare behaviour of women in Pakistan. The estimates of this analysis depict that mother’s predisposing factors such as educational level, previous fetal loss experience; spousal educational attainment and economic status are important determinants of maternal health behaviour (MHB) in Pakistan.
The enhancement of TRAIL-induced apoptosis sensitivity of oral cancer Ca 9-22 cells by overexpressing RASSF 5 A

Ras association domain family protein 5A (RASSF5A) is one member of Ras receptor family. It can phosphorylate FOXO3a via activating MST1 kinase to up-regulate BIM expression and facilitate apoptosis. Down-regulation of RASSF5A is correlated with tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) induced apoptosis resistance. This study thus investigated if RASSF5A regulates TRAIL-induced apoptosis sensitivity in oral cancer (OC) cells. 39 OC patients were collected from tumor and adjacent tissues. Expression of RASSF5A, p-FOXO3a and BIM was measured. In vitro cultured KB and Ca-22 cells were treated with TRAIL for 48 hours, followed by MTT and flow cytometry for quantifying proliferation and apoptosis. Expressions of RASSF5A, p-FOXO3a and BIM were also compared. Ca9-22 cells were treated with RASSF5A-pMD18 or controlled plasmids for measuring RASSF5A, p-FOXO3a and BIM expression, along with proliferation and apoptosis. OC tissues had lower RASSF5A, p-FOXO3a and BIM expression than adjacent tissues. Gene expression levels, cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis rate were all lower in Ca9-22 cells compared to KB. Over-expression of RASSF5A significantly enhanced gene expression, phosphorylation of FOXO3a and inhibited proliferation, whilst BIM expression and cell apoptosis were potentiated. RASSF5A down-regulation is related with TRAIL resistance of Ca9-22 cells. Over-expression of RASSF5A significantly enhances gene expression, FOXO3a phosphorylation, expression of pro-apoptotic protein BIM and cell apoptosis.
A TEST PROPOSAL FOR FATIGUE EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON STUD SHEAR CONNECTORS

A new fatigue test for stud connectors able to represent as confidently as possible the actual behavior of the stud in a composite beam is herein proposed. This test method avoid most of the shortcomings of the standard push-out test and allows to perform easily reverse cyclic loading with either load or displacement control procedure. The specimen is arranged with one single connector so to allow on the one hand to survey the local behavior of the stud during fatigue life and on the other hand to permit to draw analytical relationships under cyclic loading (cyclic load-slip relationship). Some monotonic and fatigue tests evidenced the reliability of the test method proposed.
Capsaicin reduces intrinsic apoptosis induced by hypoxia / reoxygenation in rat alveolar type II cells

Background: We aimed to explore whether capsaicin (Cap) suppressed apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) of rat alveolar type II (RLE-6TN) cells and to determine the mechanism underlying this process. Method: A HR model was established by culturing RLE-6TN cells in a 1% O2 and 5% CO2 hypoxic chamber for 24 h, before transferring it to a 21% O2 and 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h. The cells were randomly allocated into three groups: (i) a control group of cells cultured under normal conditions; (ii) an HR group of cells cultured without capsaicin in a HR model; and (iii) a Cap+HR group of cells treated with capsaicin (50 μg) during hypoxia. Transmission electron microscopy and immunostaining were used to identify RLE-6TN cells. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to test the mRNA expressions of caspases 3 and 9. Results: The RLE-6TN cells exhibited alveolar type II cell characteristics. The apoptotic rate in the HR group (47.0% ± 23.3%) was higher compared with the Cap+HR group (26.2% ± 9.3%) and was much higher compared with the control group (7.7% ± 3.5%) (both P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of caspases 3 and 9 in the Cap+HR group were higher compared with the control group but lower compared with the HR group. Conclusion: Capsaicin decreased the HR-induced rate of RLE-6TN cell apoptosis, probably by inhibiting the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, which was evidenced by the reduced mRNA expressions of caspases 3 and 9.
FINITE ELEMENT MODELING OF CONCRETE MASONRY-INFILLED STEEL FRAMES

Masonry infilled panels in framed structures have been long known to affect strength, stiffness and ductility of the composite structure. In seismic areas, however, ignoring the composite action is not always on the safe side, since the interaction between the panel and the frame under lateral loads dramatically changes the stiffness and the dynamic characteristics of the composite structure and hence its response to seismic loads. This study presents a simple practical method of estimating the stiffness and the lateral load capacity of concrete masonry-infilled steel frames (CMISF) failing in corner crushing (CC) mode, as well as the internal forces in the steel frame members using finite element method (FEM) analysis. In this method, each masonry panel is replaced by three struts with force-deformation characteristics based on the orthotropic behavior of the masonry infill. A simplified steel frame model is also presented based on the documented modes of failure of CMISF. The method can be easily computerized and included in the analysis and design of threedimensional CMISF structures. The proposed technique accounts for the non-linear behavior that occur in the steel frame due to formation of plastic hinges, and in the masonry panel due to crushing. It has been demonstrated that the proposed model can predict both the stiffness and the ultimate lateral load capacity of such systems.
Growth and reproductive performance of locally isolated brackish water rotifer ( Brachionus plicatilis ) feeding different micro algae

©JBFRI Population growth and reproductive capacity of brackishwater rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis, were evaluated, for a period of 8 days in a temperature controHed ( =25°C) microalgallaborarory, under three different algal feeding regimens. The algal species that were tested are: (i) Chlorella sp. (T1), Tetraselmis chui (T2), Nannochloropsis oculata (T 3). The feeding density of each algal species was maintained similar as of 4.5xW ceHs mi. The rotifer fed on T. chui showed the highest (p<0.05) population growth (131.5 ind./ml), compared to that fed on Chlorella sp (45.67 ind./ml) and N oculata (43.44 ind./ml). The abundance of egg bearing rotifers was also higher (35.77%) with T. chuithan with Chlorella sp (27.76%) and N oculara (24.60%). The resuhs of the present study indicate that T. chui could be the most suitable algal food for the stock culture of locally isolated rotifer B. plicatilis.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE AND CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF ANXIETY 3

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic massage (TM) and CranioSacral Therapy (CST) for treatment of anxiety symptoms in a 30-year-old female diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Manic-Depressive Disorder. The primary objectives of treatment interventions were to decrease the incidence and severity of anxiety symptoms. A total of ten seventy-minute treatments were performed and alternated between therapeutic massage and CranioSacral Therapy. The two modalities were aimed at producing a state of relaxation by balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic drive. Each intervention consisted of objective and subjective assessments pre and post treatments. An Anxiety Symptom Review Survey was used preceding every other treatment to monitor the lasting effects of treatment interventions. Over the course of treatments objective findings showed slower heart and respiratory rates as well as a slight increase in blood pressure. Subjective results from the Anxiety Symptom Review Survey and Visual Analog Scale demonstrated a decrease in anxiety symptoms post treatment interventions. Results revealed that TM and CST interventions were effective in the alleviation of the participant’s anxiety symptoms. The participant also reported that these interventions inspired her to develop self-care activities to promote physical and mental wellness. Many techniques were used in this study; therefore, further research is needed to evaluate individual TM and CST techniques.
Anticoccidial effects of artemisinin in broiler chickens 1

8 Coccidiosis is an economically devastating disease in broiler industry. Due to 9 development of drug resistance against Eimeria spp. , there is an increasing demand for 10 alternative solutions in controlling this illness and artemisinin, the main bioactive compound 11 from Artemisia annua, a plant used for centuries in malaria treatment, seems to be an effective 12 choice. Therefore, in the present study, four experiments were conceived in order to test the 13 efficacy of artemisinin in single experimental infection of broiler chickens with E. acervulina 14 (1x10 5 oocysts), E. maxima (5x10 4 oocysts) or E. tenella (1x10 4 oocysts), and mixed infection 15 with all 3 species (3.2x10 4 Eimeria spp. oocysts). For each experiment, three different dosages of 16 artemisinin were compared with a negative control (uninfected, unmedicated), a positive control 17 (infected, unmedicated) and a classical anticoccidial (monensin). The weight gain (WG), feed 18 conversion ratio (FCR), oocysts shedded per gram of feces (OPG), lesion score, mortality rate 19 and oocysts sporulation rates were recorded in all groups in order to investigate the anticoccidial 20 effect of artemisinin. The dosage of 5 ppm of artemisinin improved the weight gain and feed 21 conversion ratio for the chickens infected with E. acervulina. The oocyst output was 22 significantly decreased in all the groups medicated with artemisinin and challenged with a mixed 23 *Manuscript Click here to view linked References
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND MUSIC EDUCATION

The purpose of this study is to show the relationship of music education and social emotional learning. In this regard, the relationship of music education and social emotional learning has been researched by literature review. The process of understanding and comprehending the social and emotional aspects of life are referred to as “social emotional learning”. The components of social emotional learning are self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision making, self-management and relationship skills. In a school setting, social and emotional learning includes the following skills: 1. effective relationship skills; 2. responsive, efficient and cooperative participation in group studies; 3. control and conveying through proper means the feelings and impulses; 4. solving the interpersonal conflicts and disputes in a non-violent, constructive, peaceful and thoughtful manner; 5. living the life with sound and correct personality traits; 6. ability to incorporate learning, learning and reflective learning into every aspect of life. Music and social emotional learning complements each other in the education process with the following properties: a. Music can be used as an emotional stimulus; b. Music can be used as an aesthetic experience; c. Music can be used for relaxation and imagination; d. Making music can be a form of self expression; e. Making music can be a form of group experience. These skills can be developed by social emotional learning programs to be prepared according to the students’ developmental periods. Such programs are also useful for cognitive skills. Activies such as improvisation, ensemble playing/ singing, defining emotions with music can be used in developing social emotional learning skills in music education. There is a significant relationship between teaching effectiveness and social emotional skills. Therefore, it is important to develop the knowledge and skills of the music teachers associated with social emotional learning.

The Antecedents of Shared Leadership

A comparatively large amount is known about shared leadership and its mainly positive effects on organizational and team outcomes. However, the antecedents of shared leadership have received less attention until now. This thesis reviews the existing literature to identify, summarize and present those antecedents in one model. Conceptual and empirical articles were included. No further inclusion criteria were applied as the number of results was already small enough. The samples were diverse, including students, single exceptional leaders, and full-time employees in different sectors. The results show that most research has been done at the team level. Intragroup trust (β = .52, p < .01), team member integrity ( = .77, p < .01), as well as vertical transformational and empowering leadership ( = .75, p < .001) are the strongest predictors of shared leadership in this category. The developed model highlights the importance of team characteristics. However, further research is needed to clarify the relationships among the identified antecedents and their interdependency. Also, replications and longitudinal studies are necessary to fortify the existing results, which will help practitioners to effectively implement shared leadership.
