Copper (Cu) an Essential Redox-Active Transition Metal in Living System—A Review Article

In this review article, an attempt has been made for the study of copper, an essential Redox-Active transition metal in living systems. Very least amount of Copper is recognized as a constituent of living system. Detection and estimation of Copper in various living systems have been done and reported by various workers time to time. The presence of Copper is reported more or less in all forms of life. The reported data of work done so far details are available everywhere. This review work is concentrated on its significance of the presence of optimum amount of Copper in living systems. The required particular amount of copper in physiological cycle results thriving, whereas the deviated amount of copper leads to menace in living system, this deviation from the optimum amount makes unhealthy and creates an abnormal condition of metabolic activities in the living systems. This work is totally based on the reports examined the effect of Copper on cellular cycle till today.
On vegetative propagation through stem cuttings in medicinally lucrative Tinospora species

Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers and Tinospora sinensis (Lour.) Merr. belong to family Menispermaceae and known by different common names such as ‘Guduchi’, ‘Gulvel’ and ‘Giloy’. The genus has the plethora of health benefits described in ancient scripts and traditional systems of medicine especially its stem. The drug Guduchi is the major ingredients of about 68 Ayurvedic formulations and demand of this drug has been increased up to 2000 to 5000 MT with 9.1% annual growth rate. Nevertheless, natural populations of both the species are dwindling due to indiscriminate harvesting. The huge surge in demand provides ample scope for scaling up the commercial cultivation of these plants. In the present investigation, propagation through stem cuttings was studied for developing protocol pertaining to mass multiplication. Effect of different concentrations of IBA on stem cuttings after 30 DAP and 45 DAP was studied using design RBD with four replications for both these species. The stem cuttings of T. cordifolia treated with 100 ppm IBA (T1) exhibited significant rooting percentage i.e. 83.75±3.75a. However, in T. sinensis, 63.75±2.39a percent rooting was recorded in treatment control (T0) after 45 DAP. The maximum and minimum shoot lengths were recorded in treatment T1 (104.15±7.84 cm.) and T0 (48.159±15.58 cm.) respectively and the maximum numbers of roots (4.25±0.25) and root length (15.42±1.09 cm) was slightly higher in treatment T1 but significant differences in mean value were not recorded. The average minimum and maximum growth speed were reported 2.33 cm/day to 5.1 cm/day respectively in T. cordifolia cuttings during the present investigation. In T. sinensis, the maximum rooting percentage was recorded in control T0 (63.75±2.39) followed by treatment T1 (56.25±8.26). Increased rooting (16.25%) was observed in 30 DAP to 45 DAP. The number of sprouted shoots was higher in control T0 (1.72±0.11). The maximum number of roots was recorded in control T0 (5.5±0.48a). The fresh root biomass (0.85±0.00 g.) and dry root biomass (0.29±0.00 g.) were found significant in control T0 (Table 4).
Physical Characteristics and Consumer Acceptance of Tofu as Influenced by Water Dropwort

The effects of water dropwort on the physical characteristics of tofu were investigated and consumer acceptance test was conducted. pH decreased significantly with increasing water dropwort concentration from 0 to 3%, whereas titratable acidity showed the reverse trend (p＜0.05). The amount of water dropwort did not significantly influence the moisture content up to 2% substitution (p＞0.05). Turbidity increased significantly with increasing water dropwort concentration (p＜0.05). A significantly lower moisture content in 3% water dropwort tofu may be attributed to the denser structure and hardness of that was significantly higher than those of the other samples (p＜0.05). Even though a*-values of 3% water dropwort tofu was lower than that of control, a*-values increased significantly with increasing water dropwort content (p＜0.05). On the contrary, b*-values decreased significantly with increasing water dropwort content (p＜0.05). 2% water dropwort tofu was found to be the best with respect to its overall acceptability score.
Mathematical Educational Games : Perceptions of Special Education Teachers

Children lose 99 times out of hundred in almost every commercial game they play yet they do not stop playing games after such failures (McGonigal 2011). In fact, the more they fail the more they want to play games. The case is different when it comes to computer educational games. Children do not play them as often as these games are meant to be played. Therefore, the perceptions of the teachers who teach through such games are the focus of this study.
Comparison of cold and heat shocks to induce diploid gynogenesis in Thai walking catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) and performances of gynogens

Des stocks importants de femelles Clarias macrocephalus sont necessaires chaque annee pour produire des poissons-chats hybrides qui detiennent a la fois la qualite de la chair maternelle, et la croissance rapide et la resistance aux maladies paternelles du poisson-chat africain Clarias gariepinus. Par consequent, des individus gynogenetiques diploides ont ete induits chez le poisson-chat Clarias macrocephalus et leurs potentialites ont ete evaluees pour l'aquaculture. L'induction a ete realisee par irradiation UV du sperme de poisson-chat Pangasius sutchi suivie de chocs thermiques soit chauds soit froids 4,5 min apres l'activation. Parmi les chocs chauds, ceux effectues a 42°C durant 1 min etaient les plus performants. Les chocs froids (7°C pendant 14 min) ont donne de plus forts pourcentages significatifs de larves diploides (26-41%) que les chocs chauds (12-26%). Les individus gynogenetiques âges de 6 mois etaient tous femelles et presentaient des croissances legerement inferieures aux temoins mâles et aux temoins femelles. Les temoins mâles, les temoins femelles et les individus gynogenetiques âges de 6 mois ne presentaient pas de difference de taille. Le taux de survie des individus gynogenetiques (73±8%) etait legerement inferieur a ceux des temoins des deux sexes (87±10%). L'indice gonado-somatique des individus gynogenetiques âges de 1 an (5,7%) etait legerement inferieur a celui des femelles temoins (8,8%). Par consequent, l'usage direct de femelles gynogenetiques pour ameliorer la production de poissons-chats de Thailande est incertain. Cependant, leur utilite a des fins de reproduction est prometteur.
The Indian Ocean Dipole as an indicator of climatic conditions affecting European birds

Variation in large-scale climatic conditions can have profound effects on local weather patterns and ecological processes. For example, it is well known that a positive shift in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) during the last 2 decades has coincided with warmer, wetter winters over Northern Europe and advances in spring phenology, including both migration and breeding of birds. However, the effect of the NAO is not evident throughout the Northern Hemi- sphere and the same is true of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which has been linked to survival of northern birds wintering in Africa. Recently, a growing body of evidence suggests that an independent ocean circulation system in the Indian Ocean, the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), is partly responsible for driving climate variability in the surrounding landmasses. The IOD had traditionally been viewed as an artefact of the ENSO system, although increasingly evidence is accruing that it is a separate and distinct phenomenon. Here we present some results on the causes of the IOD, how it develops within the Indian Ocean, its relationships with the ENSO, and the consequences for East African climate dynamics and associated impacts on ecosystems, in par- ticular along the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania. In this opinion article we evalu- ate current research initiatives focused on characterizing the IOD, and examine how effective these will be in determining climate change impacts on East African ecosystems, particularly with respect to avian lifecycles.
Time Varying Correlations between Stock and Bond Returns: Empirical Evidence from Russia

The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between the stock and the bond market of Russia. By using multivariate conditional volatility models, such as, Bollerslev (1990) CCC model, Engle (2002) the DCC model, we first examine whether the correlations between two classes of assets are constant or time varying. Secondly, to investigate the asymmetries in conditional variances, covariances, and correlations, an asymmetric version of the DCC model proposed by Cappiello et al. (2006) is adopted. The empirical results do not support the assumption of constant conditional correlation and there was clear evidence of time varying correlations between the Russian stocks and bond market. Both asset markets exhibit positive asymmetries.
Deepwater fish assemblages at Isla del Coco National Park and Las Gemelas Seamount, Costa Rica

The deepwater faunas of oceanic islands and seamounts of the Eastern Tropical Pacific are poorly known. From 11-22 September 2009 we conducted an exploration of the deepwater areas of the Isla del Coco Marine Conservation Area, Costa Rica and a nearby seamount using a manned submersible. The goal of the exploration was to characterize the habitats and biota, and conduct quantitative surveys of the deepwater portions of Isla del Coco National Park and Las Gemelas Seamount, located about 50km southwest of Isla del Coco. We completed a total of 22 submersible dives, spanning more than 80hr underwater, and collected a total of 36hr of video. We surveyed habitats from 50-402m and observed more than 45 species of fishes, some of which have not yet been described and are likely new to science. The diversity of fish species in deep water at Isla del Coco National Park was lower than the diversity of fishes in shallow water, and eight species groups accounted for more than 95% of the total fish biomass. The combined density of all fish species was higher at Las Gemelas Seamount (253 fishes/100m2) than at Isla del Coco National Park (138 fishes/100m2). The combined density of fishes in habitats comprised primarily of bedrock or large boulders outcrops was more than three times as high at Las Gemelas Seamount as it was at Isla del Coco National Park. This discrepancy was caused by the extremely high concentration of Anthiinae fishes in rocky habitats at Las Gemelas Seamount. Densities of fishes in the other habitats were similar between the two sites. Similarly, when estimates of fish density were plotted by slope categories the density was much greater on steep slopes, which were usually comprised of rock habitats. Also, the density of fishes was greatest on high rugosity habitats. Results of these submersible surveys indicate that seamounts in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean may be an important source of biodiversity and that more quantitative surveys are needed to characterize the fauna of the region.

Eddy-induced variability of the Meridional Overturning Circulation in a model of the North Atlantic

Observations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) show that it varies on all timescales. Here we isolate the contribution of eddies to AMOC variability using an eddy-permitting model of the North Atlantic driven by climatological and steady forcing. The eddy-induced AMOC variability is found to be ubiquitous and significant at all latitudes, with a magnitude comparable to the seasonal cycle in the subtropics. Furthermore, the eddy-induced AMOC variability is manifested not only at high frequencies but also at interannual and longer timescales. These results imply that a significant fraction of the AMOC variability is inherently unpredictable at seasonal to interannual timescales.
The euro area money market network during the …nancial crisis: a look at cross-border fragmentation

We discuss the evolution of the network of euro area unsecured overnight interbank loans in be- tween 2008 and 2013 using an extensive data set derived from the TARGET 2 interbank payment platform. We inspect the eects of crisis-related events and ECB interventions on the network struc- ture with a particular focus on cross-border ‡ows. Using community detection methods we …nd that cross-border fragmentation increased twice during crisis periods, but declined to pre-crisis levels after policy interventions. Cross-border lending from core to peripheral banks was the driving factor of these developments. The paper also provides an extension of the modularity approach for community detection to the case of weighted and directed networks.
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Long‐Term Care Settings: A Meta‐Analysis and Systematic Review

Antimicrobial stewardship programs have been established in hospitals, but less studied in long‐term care facilities (LTCFs), a setting with unique challenges related to patient populations and available resources. This systematic review sought to provide a comprehensive assessment of antimicrobial stewardship interventions implemented in LTCFs, using meta‐analysis to examine their impact on overall antimicrobial use.
NF‐YB1‐YC12‐bHLH144 complex directly activates Wx to regulate grain quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Summary Identification of seed development regulatory genes is the key for the genetic improvement in rice grain quality. NF‐Ys are the important transcription factors, but their roles in rice grain quality control and the underlying molecular mechanism remain largely unknown. Here, we report the functional characterization a rice NF‐Y heterotrimer complex NF‐YB1‐YC12‐bHLH144, which is formed by the binding of NF‐YB1 to NF‐YC12 and then bHLH144 in a sequential order. Knock‐out of each of the complex genes resulted in alteration of grain qualities in all the mutants as well as reduced grain size in crnf‐yb1 and crnf‐yc12. RNA‐seq analysis identified 1496 genes that were commonly regulated by NF‐YB1 and NF‐YC12, including the key granule‐bound starch synthase gene Wx. NF‐YC12 and bHLH144 maintain NF‐YB1 stability from the degradation mediated by ubiquitin/26S proteasome, while NF‐YB1 directly binds to the ‘G‐box’ domain of Wx promoter and activates Wx transcription, hence to regulate rice grain quality. Finally, we revealed a novel grain quality regulatory pathway controlled by NF‐YB1‐YC12‐bHLH144 complex, which has great potential for rice genetic improvement.
The distributional implications for higher farm animal welfare in New Zealand

Over the past few decades the relative price of eggs has fallen dramatically in New Zealand. This has been made possible, at least in part, by the application of increasingly intensive agricultural practices. However, there is also growing pressure from consumers and animal rights groups around the world to ban the use of conventional/barren cages for egg production on animal welfare grounds. In this paper a simple partial equilibrium model is used to provide a preliminary estimate of the welfare effects of moving to alternative housing systems for egg laying hens in New Zealand. Results indicate that in a market where demand is relatively inelastic and trade is restricted for sanitary reasons, the cost of improving hen welfare will be born largely by consumers. This raises difficult distributional issues, as market research indicates that nearly 80% of the eggs currently sold in New Zealand supermarkets are cage eggs, and the heaviest purchasers of eggs are those with large families and limited budgets.
The perspective of nurses towards euthanasia and assisted suicide: a review article

Introduction One of the most complex issues facing humankind since the beginning of human creation is the issue of death (1). Death can occur on a couple of reasons, but one of the causes of death in the population is chronic diseases. Patient centered care in end-of-life situations have stimulated interest and responsibility for medicine to take heed for its role in timing and mode of death and dying. Not only death is the consequent of a fatal ailment but also it is the result of medical decision making and the practice of euthanasia or assisted suicide in which they have a contributing role (2). Euthanasia, i.e. administering medication or performing other interventions with the intention of causing a patient’s death, is illegal in nearly most countries in the world. The medical literature on this topic does not indicate a consensus as many accept the idea of euthanasia but many others do not (3). The United States National Cancer Institute defines euthanasia as “an easy or painless death, or the intentional ending of the life of a person suffering from an incurable or painful disease at his or her request” (4). Evidence shows that the practice of euthanasia is replete with different ethical, moral, and social consideration (5). In the healthcare systems, nurses have regular contact with patients and their pivotal role and their distinct relationships with end-of-life patients in the delivery of healthcare services is indispensable as they are involved with patients on a daily basis and try to provide humane care to dying patients who are in a devastating situation (3). But research shows that nurses are often explicitly involved in euthanasia (6). They are not only involved in the practice of euthanasia on their own but also evidence states that on the ground of receiving request from other healthcare team, they take part in this action. In a national survey of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia in the united states, based on one of the findings, it was found Review
Web-based Lifestyle Management for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in a Clinical Setting

Maintaining a proper lifestyle is important for chronic kidney disease patients. This study investigates whether an online lifestyle diary supplementary to the support received in the outpatient clinic can help patients to get to such a lifestyle. A total of 33 participants expressed their willingness to participate in the study. However, 11 of them did not start actually. The remaining 22 participants used an online lifestyle diary. They received limited support regarding practical issues and feedback on lifestyle issues only when they asked explicitly. Questionnaires were used to determine the change in self-efficacy and self-management with regard to lifestyle after four months. Only five participants used the website successfully. They had already developed a good self-efficacy and self-management. A disappointingly large group hardly used the website. The effectiveness of using the website regarding self-efficacy and self-management was therefore limited in this particular situation. Insights of the outpatient clinic’s caregivers and information from the participants partly clarify the factors involved in lifestyle management and coaching. Motivation of the participant appears to be an important factor as well as setting realistic goals. If a patient were to receive feedback on lifestyle issues regularly while working with the website, more satisfactory results might be obtained. Finally, the participant’s (computer) skills and practical support played an important role. Taking these factors into account, the already comprehensive task of lifestyle coaching would be extended with specific new tasks, requiring the necessary skills and motivation of the caregiver.
Galaxies at a redshift of ∼0.5 around three closely spaced quasar sightlines

We examine the relationship between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at z < 1 using a group of three closely spaced background quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with z em ≈ 1 observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Using a new grouping algorithm, we identify groups of galaxies and absorbers across the three QSO sightlines that may be physically linked. There is an excess number of such groups compared to the number we expect from a random distribution of absorbers at a confidence level of 99.9 per cent. The same search is performed with mock spectra generated using a hydrodynamical simulation, and we find that the vast majority of such groups arise in dense regions of the simulation. We find that at z < 0.5, groups in the simulation generally trace the large-scale filamentary structure as seen in the projected 2D distribution of the H I column density in an ∼30 h ―1 Mpc region. We discover a probable sub-damped Lyman α system at z = 0.557 showing strong, low-ionization metal absorption lines. Previous analyses of absorption across the three sightlines attributed these metal lines to H I. We show that even when the new line identifications are taken into account, evidence remains for planar structures with scales of ∼1 Mpc absorbing across the three sightlines. We identify a galaxy at z = 0.2272 with associated metal absorption in two sightlines, each 200 kpc away. By constraining the star formation history of the galaxy, we show that the gas causing this metal absorption may have been enriched and ejected by the galaxy during a burst of star formation 2 Gyr ago.
Validación Inter-operador de VideobserverTM Inter-operator reliability of VideobserverTM Validação Inter-operador de VideobserverTM

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of interobserver reliability for the sport analysis company VIDEOBSERVERTM. The football match corresponding to the 2014 World Cup final was used as the sample for the study. Data were collected on 28 players, including the actions of the goalkeepers and the players substituted during the match. This study was carried out in four phases: (i) a revision of the literature was performed to define the theoretical frame-work and the procedures to be followed; (ii) an observation system was created with the help of two experienced sports analysis technicians; (iii) a pilot study was carried out with the aim of verifying the operativity of the observation system; and (iv) the main study of inter-observer reliability was developed. The values of the kappa index, the standardized typical error and the intra-class correlation coefficient were used for the statistical analysis. The results showed a high level of inter-operator reliability, a statement which is supported by the high values of the intra-class correlation coefficient (both at the individual and collective level) and the small standardized typical error which were found in this study. This study adds an innovative element of analysis consisting in the fact that the evaluation was carried out not only at the collective level but also at the individual level.
