Alteration of Transpiration and Dry Matter with Atrazine

Root applications of 9.0 μM 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) to soybean plants (Glycine max (L.) Merr. , var. Chippewa) for 4 hr significantly reduced their transpiration rates. Similar reductions in transpiration rate were elicited by foliar applications of 900 μM. All atrazine treatments that reduced transpiration prevented dry weight accumulation by the plants and increased plant hydration. Root additions of glucose to de-rooted plants treated with atrazine had no influence on the transpiration reduction due to atrazine treatment but caused an increase in dry weight accumulation. There was a rapid accumulation of 14C-atrazine in the roots of the soybean plants from the culture solution with subsequent movement to the leaves. Leakage of 14C-atrazine out of the roots into the water medium after treatment termination was observed.
A Structure Model of Clinical Nurses’ Silence on Patient Safety

Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish a hypothetical model on silence regarding patient safety and to verify the model's goodness of fit and hypotheses. Methods: The participants in this study were 330 registered nurses working in tertiary hospitals with over 300 beds. Data were collected between July 1, and August 30, 2017, from nurses who agreed to participate. A covariance structure analysis was performed. Results: The model of fit index was x =59.54, normed x =2.29, GFI=. 97, AGFI=. 93, SRMR=. 05, NFI=. 99, CFI=. 95 and RMSEA=. 05. The organizational culture had an influence on patient safety motivation (β=.26, p=.003) and attitude (β=.43, p<.001). RN-MD collaboration had an influence on patient safety motivation (β=.33, p<.001), attitude (β=.35, p<.001), and patient safety silence (β=-.17, p=.026). Supervisory trust had an influence on patient safety motivation (β=.26, p<.001), attitude (β=.12, p=.036), and patient safety silence (β=-.23, p=.002). Patient safety motivation had an influence on patient safety silence (β=-.33, p=.006). The model of patient safety silence explained 36.0% of the variances. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it provides basic data for nursing education and program development for rejecting patient safety silence.
When will people help in a crisis

Most of America lives in cities, and it is one of the major tragedies of these times that our cities are in deep trouble. In small towns throughout the country, people still leave their houses unlocked and the keys in their cars when they park. No one living in a rural community would dream of stealing from someone else, because everyone knows everyone. Who wants to steal from people he knows? And if you stole a friends car, where could you drive it in a small community that it wouldn't instantly be recognized? When everyone knows everyone, complex social systems are not needed to help alleviate those disasters that strike-the fire and police departments are staffed chiefly by volunteers (who never go on strike), and the welfare department consists of charitable neighbors rather than squads o f social workers. Cities are supposed to be collections of small towns, but in at least one important sense, they are not: in a rural community, everyone sees the (often rather crude) machinery of government and feels that it is available to him. In large cities, this machinery is mostly invisible, hidden away in inaccessible Kafkaesque corners. Involvement in local affairs is almost forced on the small-town citizen; the apartment dweller in New York withdraws into his own little world not so much because he wants to as because he has no ready means o f participating actively in the life o f his city even if he wants to. And, as John M. Darley and Bibb Latane point out, withdrawal from and lack of concern about one's fellow citizens can become a terrible habit.
Competition of Wild Oat in Wheat and Barley

Wild oat (Avena fatua L.) competition increased the losses in yield of both wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with increased densities of seedlings. At Fargo in 1965, wild oat densities of 70 and 160 seedlings/sq yd reduced the wheat yield 22.1% and 39.1%, respectively, compared to the wild oat-free check. Similar wild oat densities reduced the barley yield 6.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The addition of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer reduced the yield loss caused by wild oat 2 out of 3 years of the experiment. Although a considerable yield reduction occurred in barley and wheat, percent protein and seed size were not influenced noticeably.
LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT: Evaluation of lung function in BPD survivors from infancy to adulthood: The Padova BPD study

Background. Few studies have prospectively followed respiratory function of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) survivors from infancy to adult age. Objectives. This study was conducted from March 1991 to March 2016 to longitudinally investigate the evolution of lung function in 17 survivors of BPD (birth weight Methods. Maximum flow at functional residual capacity(VmaxFRC ) at 2 years (yrs), and lung function(FEV 1, FVC and FEF 25-75 ) at ages 9, 15, 20 and 24 yrs were obtained for each subject. Repeated measures analysis of variance ANOVA, t test, and linear regression were used for data analysis. Results. Survivors of BPD showed a consistent lung function tracking from 2 years till 24 years of age. No significant change in mean z-score emerged between expiratory flow measures at ages 2 years(zVmaxFRC -1.48, SD 1.38), 9 yrs (zFEV 1 -1.74, SD 1.03), 15 yrs (zFEV 1 -1.71, SD 1.72), 20 yrs (zFEV 1 -1.73, SD 1.65) and 24 yrs(zFEV 1 -2.14, SD 1.74)(P=0.42). Mean z-scores for FVC and FEF 25-75 did not change significantly between different ages as well(P>0.5 and P=0.45 respectively). A significant correlation was found between the z-scores for VmaxFRC at 2 years and the z-scores for FEV 1 at ages 15 yrs(r=0.74, P=0.001), 20 yrs(r=0.75, P 1 ≥12%) was observed in 23.5% of subjects. Comment . Our findings show that BPD survivors present a tracking of lung function until adulthood, with flow limitation still persisting at 24 years of age. Reduced expiratory flow at 2 years identifies patients at greater risk of developing a COPD-like phenotype at adult age.
A Meta-Analysis of Cultural Competence Education in Professional Nurses and Nursing Students

Cultural competence learning interventions have been suggested to positively improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in both professional nurses and nursing students. A meta-analysis was used to examine the effectiveness of learning interventions designed to increase the cultural competence in professional nurses and nursing students. This is the first known meta-analysis of studies on cultural competence learning interventions in professional nurses and nursing students. The meta-analysis was done using 13 research studies on cultural competence educational interventions from 1999 to 2010 that were published peer-reviewed literature found in electronic databases. Analyses were computed using a fixed-effect model and effect size data reported in terms of odds-ratio. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis [Version 2] statistical software was used for the meta-analysis. Results of Orwin’s failsafe N, funnel plot and Duval and Tweedie’s Trim and Fill revealed no evidence of publication bias. The meta-analysis demonstrated that seven of the 13 studies’ individual educational interventions had a significant positive effect (odds-ratio = 4.2) on improving cultural competency of nursing students and professional nurses. The study was able to determine from the meta-analysis literature that overall, learning interventions of cultural competence in nurses and nursing students significantly translates to a positive effect on the self-perceived cultural competency of nurses and nursing students in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy regardless of vii intervention type and contact time. However, there is insufficient empirical evidence to support the argument that education and training in cultural competence translates into culturally competent care or that it leads to improved client health outcomes, particularly in nurses and nursing students. The results of this study should be interpreted with caution. Limitations of the study and recommendations for future research are discussed.
Prevalence and risk of musculoskeletal pain in rural homemakers of North India

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is a well-known burden of disease and disability in all age groups and both sexes. There are very few reports regarding MSP in rural homemakers of North India. Objective: To assess the magnitude of MSP among rural homemakers and to identify its modifiable risk factors. Materials and Methods: A representative sample of 296 homemakers from rural areas of Barabanki district in Uttar Pradesh was studied. Details of MSP and its location; social, demographic information, height, and weight were recorded. A general clinical examination of each subject was also done to rule out any obvious underlying organic pathology and the findings were noted. Results: Prevalence of MSP among homemakers was found to be 40.9%. More than 60% of these could not be diagnosed without specialized investigations. Modifiable risk factors were identified. Conclusions: Parity, body mass index, use of nonsmoking tobacco, and per capita income were identified as modifiable risk factors in this population.
Wavelet Leader and Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis of Market Efficiency: Evidence from the WAEMU Market Index

Efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) has been a hot topic since its introduction in the 1960s. This problematic is a current topic and has been the subject of many studies with different methods. This paper examines the weak-form efficiency of the WAEMU stock exchange from 11/04/2008 to 23/08/2016. We combined the wavelets approaches and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) to analyse the efficient market hypothesis of the BRVM10 index of the WAEMU regional stock change. Our findings show that the log return of BRVM10 index exhibits a persistent and multifractal process.
Attention modulates early auditory processing at a real cocktail party

ABSTRACT Understanding speech in noisy environments is a substantial challenge. Decades of laboratory research have shown that selective attention allows listeners to preferentially process target speech. However, most of this work stripped away the multimodal complexity of the real world. We compared auditory evoked potentials elicited by acoustic onsets in attended and unattended live speech in a room with multiple live talkers. Acoustic onsets in attended speech elicited a larger negativity 100–220 ms, centred around the N1. Additionally, acoustic onsets in speech from a seen talker elicited a larger negativity during this time than onsets in audio-only speech. Further, the attention effect for an unseen talker was observed only when all unattended talkers were unseen as well. A seen talker is both easier to attend and harder to ignore. These results indicate that the more complex conditions encountered during real-life speech-in-noise processing modulate the attentional facilitation of speech perception.

Tenage Pregnancy Medical and Biological Problems in Russian Federation

Annotation. The aim of our research work is to evaluate young mothers' (aged 15-16) health peculiarities and their children's state of health at birth. Two groups were formed according to Independent Student t-Test. First (basic) group included 65 young women, who had given birth at the age of 15-16. Second (control) group included 65 women, who had given birth at the age of 20-22. Some significant differences are found out: according to the number of women by onset of menarche (aged 10-12), sexual debut age, abnormal gestation course and birth frequency and degree of incidence for neonatal pathology. The undertaken study allowed drawing a conclusion that adolescence is a risk factor for women's abnormal gestation course and birth as well as new-born children's pathology emergence. This problem requires working out some means, aimed at effective contraceptive behavior forming.
Effects of Boswellia Carterii And Boswellia Serrata in Drinking Water on the Growth Performance, Hematology Traits and Immune Response of Broiler Chicken

A total of 300 Ross 308 broiler chickens, 7 days old, comprised the subjects in this study. They were randomly distributed into 5 treatments of 3 replicates each (15 bird/rpt). Boswellia was ground and mixed in drinking water of chickens during the whole period of the experiment, which lasted for 35 days, at levels of 0g (T1: Control), 2 g Boswellia carterii/l liter water (T2), 3 g Boswellia. carterii/l liter water (T3), 2 g Boswellia. serrata/l liter water (T4), and 3 g Boswellia.serrata / l liter water (T5). Growth performance parameters which included body weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, mortality and EBI were reported every week during the experiment. Moreover, three birds per replicate, 35 days old, were slaughtered to assay the hematological characteristics and immune response parameters. The results tevealed that the fifth treatment (3gBs/l water) showed considertable improvement (P 0.05) feed intake, feed conversion ratio, albumin, glucose and cholesterol, followed by T4, T3, T2 respectively in comparison with control (T1). It was concluded that broilers that received Boswellia (BC, BS) especially T5 could have positively affected growth performance and well being of the broiler chickens.
The Hidden Injuries of Bureaucracy: Work in an American Nursing Home

This article analyzes the tensions and contradictions in nursing home bureaucracies. Bureaucratic rules are essential for administrative efficiency and to reduce the potential for neglect and abuse of patients. These are especially critical given the complex requirements of modern medical care and state regulations. At the same time, as my field research reveals, bureaucratic rules can interfere with a key goal of nursing homes as they stand in the way of aides' ability to provide compassionate and supportive care.

BEBAN KERJA DAN MOTIVASI PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN PADA PT. BANK TABUNGAN NEGARA TBK CABANG MANADO

Kinerja karyawan merupakan fungsi dari interaksi antara kemampuan ( ability ) dan motivasi ( motivation ). Beban kerja adalah besaran pekerjaan yang harus dipikul oleh suatu jabatan/unit organisasi dan merupakan hasil kali antara volume kerja dan norma waktu. Motivasi adalah kemauan untuk berbuat sesuatu. Bank Tabungan Negara Tbk Cabang Manado mengalami penurunan kinerja pada tahun 2011-2012. Fenomena yang terjadi di bank ini adalah beban kerja yang tinggi yakni volume kerja dan juga jumlah karyawan yang sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan bank-bank lain, serta kurangnya motivasi yang diberikan kepada karyawan yang relatif masih baru, berusia muda dan kurang pengalaman. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menguji pengaruh beban kerja dan motivasi terhadap kinerja karyawan pada BTN Manado Metode penelitian adalah asosiatif dengan menggunakan teknik analisis regresi liniear berganda. Data diperoleh dengan memberikan kuesioner terhadap 42 orang karyawan tetap. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa beban kerja dan motivasi kerja secara simultan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan dan motivasi kerja berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan. Sementara beban kerja berpengaruh terhadap kinerja karyawan tetapi tidak signifikan. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi ketidakmerataan pembagian beban kerja di BTN. Sebagian karyawan mengalami kelebihan beban kerja dan sebagian lagi kekurangan beban kerja. Kata kunci : beban kerja, motivasi, kinerja karyawan

The relative effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy combined with transcutaneous flurbiprofen versus spinal manipulative therapy combined with either menthol or non-medicated placebo patches in the management of sacroiliac syndrome

McGregor et al ( 1998) stated that approximately 50 – 80 % of the population in Western society will experience low back pain at some point. According to Cibulka and Koldehoff (1999), the sacroiliac joint is a common cause of low back pain that is overlooked. This study aimed to provide insight into the relative effectiveness of three different approaches in the management of sacroiliac syndrome. Giles and Muller (1999) concluded that spinal manipulative therapy was an effective form of treatment for spinal pain syndromes whilst Burgos et al (2001) states that the use of transcutaneous non-steroidal anti-inflammatories in the management of musculoskeletal conditions is a common therapeutic strategy. This investigation aimed to determine the relative effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy combined with transcutaneous flurbiprofen (TransAct® patches ) versus spinal manipulative therapy combined with either menthol or non-medicated placebo patches in the management of sacroiliac syndrome, in terms of objective and subjective measures.
An Approach for Self-Checking Realization of Interacting Finite State Machines

This paper presents a technique for designing interacting finite state machines which will be totally self-checking for any single stuck-at fault. In the proposed technique m-out-of-n codes are used for both primary output and state assignments. In addition, the next state logic (NSL) for each submachine and the output logic (OL) are realized such that any single stuck-at fault results in either single bit error or unidirectional multibit error at the output. The proposed technique does not have any restriction on the way the NSL and the OL are implemented.
A Retrospective Review of Cold Intolerance Following Corrective Surgery for Dupuytren's Disease

Cold intolerance is a cause of significant morbidity following trauma to the upper limb and hand, yet very little research has been undertaken to investigate the phenomenon following elective hand surgery. This retrospective study, incorporating a postal questionnaire and case note review, investigates incidence and risk factors of cold intolerance in a series of patients who underwent corrective surgery for Dupuytren's disease. The incidence of cold intolerance following surgery for Dupuytren's disease was 44%, and no association was found between the development of cold intolerance and either age, gender, smoking status or employment status. Further research investigating cold intolerance following surgery for Dupuytren's disease and other elective hand surgery is required. The present study demonstrates that cold intolerance is a significant complication, not only following traumatic hand injury, but also following elective surgery for Dupuytren's disease.
Toward the Logical Description of Languages in their Phonemic Aspect (with Ε. Colin Cherry and Morris Halle)

Look at the inventory. Left to right, compact C’s start off the columns. The comma means palatalized. The fifth from left, c, is a weird symbol for tch or č. The next two are š and ž. Note that none of the compact Cś need be specified for diffuse (vs. vowels). None need nasal, as there is no nasal, nor strident, as some are only redundantly strident, nor stress, as only Vś are stressed. All need continuous, and the stops need sharp specification. x and č do not need voice, as there is no opposition here. They all have to have the tonality opposition grave-acute.
