EVALUATION OF FORMAL RISK ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION OF MIDDLE EAST RESPIRATORY SYNDROME CORONAVIRUS IN 2018

Background: Confirmed cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were not found until the end of February 2019 in Indonesia. The spreading threat of MERS-CoV disease in Indonesia is still quite vast, mainly because of the amount of international travel from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia for the purpose of Hajj and Umrah, vacationing, working, or settling in the Arabian Peninsula. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation of formal risk assessment (FRA) and MERS-CoV risk in Indonesia in 2018, having regard to threat, vulnerability, and capacity. Method: This study is a non-reactive observation study presented descriptively using the literature method and in-depth interviews with staff of the subdirectorat of Penyakit Infeksi Emerging Kementerian Kesehatan Republik. Decision-making for the threat category and vulnerability category is based on the highest threat index and vulnerability values, while the capacity category is based on the lowest capacity index value. Results: This study shows that there are three threat subcategories and two vulnerability subcategories that have high index scores and eight capacity subcategories that have low scores. Conclusion: The implementation of risk assessment for MERS-CoV with the FRA method as a whole has been maximally pursued. However, there are still shortcomings in the results of the research that need to be improved through further interventions to reduce the subcategory values that are high in the threat and vulnerability index and to increase the value of the low capacity index.
Food Science of Animal Resources

The study assessed the stability for fresh beef patties with the inclusion of clove extract (CE) as a natural antioxidant in comparison to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and ascorbic acid (AA) at frozen storage. Four different patties were made dependent on the added antioxidants: control (added no antioxidants), added with 0.02% BHT, 0.05% AA, and 0.1% CE. Inclusion of BHT, AA, and CE resulted in a significant reduction of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and hue angle (h°) value and increase of redness (CIE a*) and chroma (C*) values (p<0.05). BHT, AA, and CE were observed effectively to retard lipid oxidation and increase color stability. BHT and AA revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher thiol content than the control and CE. However, the reduction percentage for thiol content in CE treated patties was lower than the control and AA-treated patties from first to last time of storage. Moreover, inclusion of AA and CE led to significantly (p<0.05) increased heme iron content when compared to BHT and the control. In conclusion, CE can replace the application of AA and BHT while improving lipid stability, heme iron content, and color stableness of fresh beef patties throughout frozen storage.
Understanding the Australian organic food consumers

The average Australian expenditure on fresh fruits and vegetables is only about 0.1% per week of total food and non-alcoholic beverage expenditure. This has a current challenge towards a long-term sustainability of the organic farms and organisation. The aim of this paper is to segment the Australian consumer markets by taking the four major market segmentation dimensions, including, demographic, geographic, psychographic and behavioural dimensions. A number of variable of each of these dimensions were considered, and subsequently, a nationwide survey was conducted and various statistical tools were used to analyse the dataset. The key market segmentation variables for the Australian organic food market are: gender, age, annual household income, educational qualification, state-territories, metro-regional, retail outlets, personal values, self-image and personality traits, perceptions about organic foods, usage rate, loyalty status and user status. This study has explored and identified the key segmentation variables for the Australian organic food market. The Australian organic farms and organisations aiming for a sustained presence could consider this study as a basis of the future and strategic marketing plan.
The Contribution of Embeddings to Sentiment Analysis on YouTube

We train a variety of embeddings on a large corpus of YouTube comments, and test them on three different tasks on both the English and the Italian portions of the SenTube corpus. We show that indomain (YouTube) embeddings perform better than previously used generic embeddings, achieving state-of-the-art performance on most of the tasks. We also show that a simple method for creating sentiment-aware embeddings outperforms previous strategies, and that sentiment embeddings are more informative than plain embeddings for the SenTube tasks.
Factor wise contribution of some morphological traits to sugar contents in Sacharum officinarm

The aim of present study was to enhance the efficiency of selection by developing Dm artificial variables which serve as selection criterion. 12 genotypes were planted it the research area of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, following Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data was recorded for 11 morphological and quality traits. Genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficients among the characters under study were estimated. Data recorded also analyzed by Principal component analysis to reduce the original variables into smaller number of principal components which help in selection for high yield improvement. Plant height and cane height were positively and highly significantly correlated. Both of these showed positive significant association with number of canes per stool, juice contents and dry matter content. Strong positive correlation was found between Sugar contents and number of cane per stool. The PCA revealed that first 4 PCs explained more than 83.23% of the total variation. The contribution of PC1 32.57% to the total variation while the contribution of PC2 was 20.43%. The contribution of PC3 and PC4 was 15.91% and 14_39% respectively. The remaining seven PCs explained only about 17% of the total variation. By probing screen plot it was evident that first seven PCs have considerable variability while in remaining four PCs differences were negligible. Scatter plot showed that genotypes CPF-240, HSF-240, CPF-335 and CP72-2086 are not much &verse from each other as they are congested to same area. While genotypes HSF¬247, SGH-2924, COJ-84, CP-246, CPF-248, L-118, CP-77-400 and CPF-234 are 'present at distance from other genotypes with respect to PC 1 and PC2 so more &verse. Biplot revealed that In the PC1 and PC2 together internodal length, juice contents and yield per m2 showed minimum differences while other traits showed more differences. The information thus acquired from the research could be utilized to frame the suitable selection scheme to develop clones of the best commercial writs, suitable for cultivation in different environments. The genotypic correlations were split into direct and indirect effects of various traits on yield per m2. The direct effects of brix value and dry matter contents were positive on yield per m2. Cluster analysis was performed. Cluster analysis procedure grouped the 12 genotypes in to three clusters at a linkage distance with cluster I having five, cluster II having two and duster III having five genotypes respectively.

Effect of intravenous iron sucrose therapy for moderate-to-severe anemia in pregnancy: A longitudinal study -

Background: Anemia is one of the major public health problems in the developing countries. More than 70% of pregnant women in Southeast Asian region have nutritional anemia, which affects both the mother and the newborn and subsequent child and later adult. Objective: To evaluate the response and effect of parenteral iron sucrose complex therapy in iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy. Material andMethods: A prospective observational study was conducted at VS General Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, from September 2009 to November 2011. A total of 75 Antenatal women, between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy with hemoglobin level between 5–9 g%, were selected for study by purposive sampling. They were given intravenous iron sucrose complex in a dose of 200 mg (2 ampoules of 5 ml each) in 100 mL normal saline for 15–20 minutes, on alternate day. Repeat complete blood count was done after 6 weeks. Results: Of 75 women, 36 (48%) were in age group of 20–24 years and 49 (65.2%) were 27–29 weeks pregnant. The mean hemoglobin level increased from 7.8 ± 0.61 to 10.1 ± 0.73 g% (po0.001) after 6 weeks of therapy. There was significant rise in mean corpuscular volume levels (from 67.8 ± 5.0 to 79.2 ± 2.3 fL; po0.001). 91% of patients treated for anemia delivered at full term, either vaginally (65.33%) or by lower segment cesarean section (25.3%). Most of the delivered babies (80%) had birth weight of more than 2.5 kg. No major side effects or anaphylactic reactions were observed in the women during the study period. Conclusion: Parenteral iron therapy was effective in increasing hemoglobin levels and other hematological parameters in pregnant women with moderate-to-severe anemia. If used in time, this treatment will certainly help to reduce the risk of maternal and fetal complications as well as to reduce the risk of blood transfusion during peripartum period.
REVIEW ON GREEN BUILDING RATING TOOLS WORLDWIDE: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AUSTRALIA

Buildings could be led to adverse impacts on environment, such as generation of construction and demolition waste, and emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Therefore, promotion on development of green buildings is in need. With the increasing awareness in sustainable development, various rating tools are promoted to evaluate the performance of green buildings. Nowadays, these tools function as a guideline for green building development. There are various green building rating tools developed worldwide, and various countries follow different rules, incentives and regulations. However, despite of promotion of green building rating tools, environmental issues from buildings are still significant in Australia. This research compared green building rating tools in Australia and other countries or regions around the world. This research found that rating tools in Australia lack of (1) mandatory criteria and (2) regulations and incentives. This paper recommended that governmental incentives should be promoted.
What does it mean as a teacher to " know infinity " ? The case of convergence series

This paper aims to explore the knowledge of infinity that three teachers deploy in making methodological suggestions for dealing with the convergence of a geometric series in a secondary level lesson. We will also illustrate the potential of the model of professional knowledge known as Mathematics Teacher's Specialised Knowledge (MTSK) as a tool for analysing the knowledge of infinity underpinning the three proposals. The mathematical knowledge revealed is considered, alongside suggestions for further exploration of the pedagogical knowledge of the three teachers regarding infinity.

Efficient removal of phosphorus and nitrogen in sediments of the eutrophic Stockholm Archipelago, Baltic Sea

Abstract. Coastal systems can act as filters for anthropogenic nutrient input into marine environments. Here, we assess the processes controlling the removal of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) for four sites in the eutrophic Stockholm Archipelago. Bottom water concentrations of oxygen and P are inversely correlated. This is attributed to the seasonal release of P from iron (Fe)-oxide-bound P in surface sediments and from degrading organic matter. The abundant presence of sulfide in the pore water, linked to prior deposition of organic-rich sediments in a low oxygen setting (legacy of hypoxia), hinders the formation of a larger Fe-oxide-bound P pool in winter. Burial rates of P are high at all sites (0.03–0.3 mol m−2 y−1), a combined result of high sedimentation rates (0.5 to 3.5 cm yr−1) and high sedimentary P at depth (~ 30 to 50 μmol g−1). Organic P accounts for 30–50 % of reactive P burial. Apart from one site in the inner archipelago, where a vivianite-type Fe(II)-P mineral is likely present at depth, there is little evidence for sink-switching of organic or Fe-oxide bound P to authigenic P minerals. Denitrification is the major benthic nitrate-reducing process at all sites (0.09 to 1.7 mmol m−2 d−1), efficiently removing N as N2. Denitrification rates decrease seaward following the decline in bottom water nitrate and sediment organic carbon. Our results explain how sediments in this eutrophic coastal system can efficiently remove land-derived P and N, regardless of whether the bottom waters are oxic or frequently hypoxic. Hence, management strategies involving artificial reoxygenation are not expected to be successful in removing P and N, emphasizing a need for a focus on nutrient load reductions.
AWARENESS ON HEALTH EFFECTS OF SMOKING AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN BANGLADESH

Background: Trends of smoking among the secondary school children have been increasing across the globe. According to Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), in Bangladesh about 3% secondary school children were tobacco smokes and 2% students were cigarette smoke in Bangladesh, whereas, globally 21% secondary school students were smoked tobacco. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness on health effect of smoking among secondary school children. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted among 98 secondary school children who were read in class nine and ten in rural area. Convenience sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data was collected by self-administered structured questionnaire.

The Effects of Peer Feedback on the Essay Writing Performances of EFL Students

The aim of this study is to find out the effects of peer feedback on EFL students’ written performances in essay writing. For this end, this experimental study was conducted with a group of students studying at the English preparatory school of a state university in Turkey during the 2017-2018 academic year. Students received feedback from their peers for the four different essay tasks for which they produced a first draft and a second draft during the course of eight weeks. Students were also administered a written pre-test and post-test. The number of correct revisions in second drafts was calculated with by using Conrad and Goldstein’s (1999) taxonomy. The quantitative data coming from pre-test and post-test were analysed statistically with SPSS by conducting paired samples t-test. The results showed that peer feedback helped students write 69% of the feedback points provided by their peers correctly. Also, the written test results indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. In the light of these findings, it can be concluded that peer feedback can be an effective tool in improving students’ correct revisions in second drafts and it may help EFL learners perform better in a written post-test.
New Evidence in Korea: Annuity Puzzle and Properties

Many assume that for retirees, purchasing an annuity is a better option than selfannuitization in the post-retirement period. Using genetic algorithm, we show that selfannuitization can be an optimal choice for retirees in Korea if we consider properties (real estate) as one of the investment options. We set three scenarios that a worker can choose at the retirement: self-annuitization, purchasing a whole-life annuity, and mixed strategy. Then we calculate optimal asset allocation for each scenario that minimizes probability of ruin (PoR). We find that the PoR increases significantly as the preference for purchasing a whole-life annuity increases. This finding has important implications for developing policy measures that help retirees with making rational financial decisions.
Assessing the Capability of Indigenous Microorganisms in the Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil

This study appraised the capability of indigenous microorganisms in a location with no history of hydrocarbon contamination. The experiment was conducted using microcosms and particle size of the soil was manipulated to arrive at about 9 different types of soils using the soil textural triangle. For operational convenience, nine types of soil were considered, and an undisturbed soil was considered a control experiment. Samples were artificially spiked with 3.4% (w/w) diesel and all nine samples were stimulated with 4% (w/w) NPK fertilizer. These treatments were prepared in three replicates and samples were drawn for extraction and microbial monitoring every 14 days and the study lasted for 56 days. Extraction was done using Soxhlet Extractor and analysis was performed with gas chromatography installed with mass spectrometry. The result of the diesel degradation is significant at the p = 0.05 levelwith little variation in microbial activities except in clay where the organisms experienced excessive stress leading to complete mortality of the degraders at the end of the experiment. Highest bioremediation rate was noted in silt with 75% diesel removal while the lowest bioremediation efficiency was in clay with about 18% and is significantly lower than control with 35% diesel removal. It has been concluded that clay soil bioremediation will require textural amendment to minimize effects of adsorption of nutrients making it unavailable for degraders and, its textural disadvantage for aerobic degradation of contaminants. There is high probability of increasing bioremediation rates as the texture moves away from clayand in this experiment;biostimulation wasthe most significant factor that improves remediation efficiency.
Molecular Characterization of Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Iranian Burn Patients

Background & Objective: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is reported as one of the important bacterial causes of burn wound infections. This study was carried out to investigate molecular characterization of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) isolated from Iranian burn patients. Methods: A total of 31 isolates of S. aureus were collected from the Motahari Burns Hospital (Tehran, Iran) in 2016. All isolates were collected from outpatients and inpatients within 48 hours of admission. The mecA, pvl, tsst-1, hla-α, and psmα genes detecting, SCCmec, agr and PFGE typing were done. Results: A total of 13 (41.9%) isolates were cefoxitin-resistant and mecA-positive, which were considered as MRSA. The SCCmec typing MRSA strains revealed type II in 1 (7.7%), type III in 9 (69.2%), and other types in 3 isolates (23.7%) cases. The agr typing of all 31 isolates showed that 14 (45.2%), 1 (3.2%), 6 (19.4%), and 10 (32.3%) strains belonged to agr groups 1, 3, 4, and unknown type, respectively. The pvl, tsst-1, hla-α, and psmα genes were positive in 3 (9.7%), 4 (12.9%), 21 (67.7%), and 31 (100%) isolates, respectively. Considering the cut-off values of ≥50%, 3 groups of related isolates (cluster A1, B1, and C1) in PFGE study were observed. Conclusion: The MRSA strains of this study were initially isolated as Community-associated S. aureus (CA-MRSA); however molecular characterization showed that a significant proportion of them had hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) features. Therefore, it is likely that the HA-MRSA strains are spread among the community.
