The investigation of the relationship between perceived freedom and brief resilience: The role of participation in physical activity

Background: This study was designed to examine the relationship between perceived freedom in leisure and psychological resilience of university staff. Material and Methods: The sample group of the study was composed of 189 academic and 81 administrative university staff (Mage=36.11±7.34). Participants were assessed based on the “Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale (T-PFLS)” and the “Brief Resilience Scale (T-BRS)”. ANOVA, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis methods were used to analyze the data. Results: T-test analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of “T-PFLS”; however, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of “T-BRS” with regard to gender. The male participants’ mean scores were higher than those of the female participants. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” mean scores with respect to the position at the university. ANOVA analysis indicated statistically significant differences in mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” with respect to leisure participation preference. The mean scores of frequent participants were higher than the others in both of the scales. There was a statistically significant positive and moderate correlation between the mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” scores. Conclusion: As a result, active participants reported higher perceived freedom and psychological resilience scores.
COMPUTATIONAL AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS Uniform Grid Computation of Smooth Hydrogenic Orbitals

In this paper we present a method that can be used to create approximate hydrogenic wave functions that are smooth, have compact support, and which can be accurately represented on a uniform rectangular grid. We investigate the properties of these approximations, and demonstrate that by using appropriate molliﬁcation of the nuclear potential one can obtain accurate wave function approximations without excessive reﬁnement of the computational grid near the singularity of the nuclear potential. The accuracy of the wave functions is evaluated by comparison with analytically obtained solutions.
Emphysematous gastritis in association with gastric adenocarcinoma. A case report

This report describes a case of emphysematous gastritis, a rare clinical condition consisting of invasion of the gastric wall caused by gas-produ-cing bacteria. It can lead to fatal outcomes due to the unspecific nature of the symptoms and its torpid course. The following is the case of a highly fragile 77-year-old male patient, who presented with symptoms of emphysematous gastritis that did not respond to medical treatment and required emergency gastrectomy. In addition, the patient had an infiltrating ulcera ted gastric adenocarcinoma, which had not previously been diagnosed and was a probable conditioning and triggering factor.
Southern Ocean Wind Stress in CMIP5 Models: Role of Wind Fluctuations

The Southern Ocean (SO) surface wind stress is a major atmospheric forcing for driving the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the global overturning circulation. Here the effects of wind ﬂuctuations at different time scales on SO wind stress in 18 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) are investigated. It is found that including wind ﬂuctuations, especially on time scales associated with synoptic storms, in the stress calculation strongly enhances the mean strength, modulates the seasonal cycle, and signiﬁcantly ampliﬁes the trends of SO wind stress. In 11 out of the 18 CMIP5 models, the SO wind stress has strengthened signiﬁcantly over the period of 1960–2005. Among them, the strengthening trend of SO wind stress in one CMIP5 model is due to the increase in the intensity of wind ﬂuctuations, while in all the other 10 models the strengthening trend is due to the increasing strength of the mean westerly wind. These discrepancies in SO wind stress trend in CMIP5 models may explain some of the diverging behaviors in the model-simulated SO circulation. Our results suggest that to reduce the uncertainty in SO responses to wind stress changes in the coupled models, both the mean wind and wind ﬂuctuations need to be better simulated.
Cut-and-join operators and N = 4 super Yang-Mills

We show which multi-trace structures are compatible with the symmetrisation of local operators in N = 4 super Yang-Mills when they are organised into representations of the global symmetry group. Cut-and-join operators give the non-planar expansion of correlation functions of these operators in the free theory. Using these techniques we ﬁnd the 1 /N corrections to the quarter-BPS operators which remain protected at weak coupling. We also present a new way of counting these chiral ring operators using the Weyl group S N .
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase a gene and breast cancer susceptibility

The identification of an interaction between BRCA1 and acetyl-CoA carboxylase a (ACC a ), a key enzyme in lipid synthesis, led us to investigate the role of ACC a in breast cancer development, where it might contribute to the energy-sensing mechanisms of malignant transformation. In order to investigate if certain ACC a alleles may be high-risk breast cancer susceptibility alleles, 37 extended breast and breast/ovarian cancer families negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations were exhaustively screened for sequence variations in the entire coding sequence, intron --exon junctions, 5 0 UTR, 3 0 UTR (untranslated regions) and the promoter regions of the ACC a gene. Two possibly disease-associated ACC a variants were each identified in a single family and were not present in 137 controls. Multiple polymorphisms were detected in breast cancer families, including 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms where the frequency of the rare allele estimated in controls was 4 0.10. The observed lack of variation in the ACC a coding region along with the presence of extended areas of linkage disequilibrium and low haplotype diversity indicates an overall high preservation of this gene. The prevalence of the ACC a haplotypes of common polymorphisms was in 453 breast cancer cases and 469 female controls. One haplotype was found to be associated with a substantial and highly significant increase in breast cancer risk (odds ratio ¼ 3.10, 95% confidence interval 1.87 -- 5.14, P 5 0.0001), whereas three other haplotypes were found to have a protective effect. Our results indicate that mutations in the ACC a gene are unlikely to be a major cause of high-risk breast cancer susceptibility; however, certain common ACC a alleles may influence breast cancer risk. This study provides the first insight into the involvement of the ACC a gene in breast cancer predisposition and calls for further, large-scale studies that will be needed to understand the role of ACC a in tumour susceptibility and development. (47). The frequencies of the haplotypes formed by these four htSNPs were estimated from the unphased genotype data, and probabilities were estimated for the assignment of haplotypes to individuals (47). The association between haplotypes and breast cancer risk was simultaneously modelled using a single unconditional logistic regression, thus avoiding multiple testing, to obtain ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CI), taking the estimated haplotype probabilities as the independent variables. The most common haplotype was defined as the referent, and the ORs are for a single copy of the haplotype, assuming that the relative risk of carrying two haplotypes is the square of that of carrying one (Stata software, Version 6.0). The genotype- and haplotype-specific risk estimations were adjusted for age.
Using natural analogues to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidiﬁcation on Northern ecosystems

Using natural analogues to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidiﬁcation on Northern ecosystems. ICES Northern oceans are in a state of rapid transition. Still, our knowledge of the likely effects of climate change and ocean acidiﬁcation on key species in the food web, functionally important habitats and the structure of Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems is limited and based mainly on short-term laboratory studies on single species. This review discusses how tropical and temperate natural analogues of carbonate chemistry drivers, such as CO 2 vents, have been used to further our knowledge of the sensitivity of biological systems to predicted climate change, and thus assess the capacity of different species to show long-term acclimation and adaptation to elevated levels of p CO 2. Natural analogues have also provided the means to scale-up from single-species responses to community and ecosystem level responses. However, to date the appli-cation of such approaches is limited in high latitude systems. A range of Arctic and sub-Arctic sites, including CO 2 vents, methane cold seeps, estuaries, up-welling areas, and polar fronts, that encompass gradients of pH, carbonate saturation state, and alkalinity, are suggested for future high latitude, in-situ ocean acidiﬁcation research. It is recommended that combinations of monitoring of the chemical oceanography, observational, and experimental ( in situ and laboratory) studies of organisms around these natural analogues be used to attain better predictions of the impacts of ocean acidiﬁcation and climate change on high latitude species and ecosystems.
of Flexible Rectangular Boxes

Rectangular box-like structures are used widely in a large number of engineering applications, e.g. as elements of railway carriages, heavy goods vehicles, buildings, civil engineering constructions, etc. Although flexible rectangular boxes represent one of the geometrically simple types of engineering structures, their structural-acoustic properties can not be described by closed-form analytical solutions. In the present study, a comprehensive numerical investigation of typical all-flexible rectangular box structures has been carried out to elucidate the physics of structural–acoustic interaction in them and to explore the possibilities of reduction of the associated structure-borne interior noise. Finite element method has been used to compute the resonant frequencies, the mode shapes and the structural-acoustic frequency response functions of different rectangular box models. The obtained results could assist in better understanding of structural-acoustic properties of flexible rectangular boxes as well as of numerous more complex structures using rectangular boxes as their building elements.
Effect of plant growth regulators and micronutrients on quality of strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa Dutch.) cv. Chandler

The experiment entitled “Effect of Plant Growth Regulators and Micronutrients on Quality of Strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa Dutch.) cv. Chandler” was conducted at the Central Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj, (U.P.)-211007 during the year 2015-16 and 2016-2017. The Strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa Dutch.) crop in Rosaceae family with Chandler variety was grown with each comprising of treatments replicated thrice. Source of variables were NAA (20ppm); GA 3 (75 ppm); BA (benzyl adenine) (20ppm); Salicylic acid (50ppm); Boric acid (0.4%); Zinc sulphate (0.4%) and combination of them with control treatment taken as nineteen treatments. The experiment was laid out according to randomized block design (RBD) by randomizing treatments in each replication. As far as the quality of fruit is concerned, application of different treatment of plant growth regulators and micronutrient enhanced the TSS( 0 Brix), Ascorbic acid (mg/100g), Sugar content (%), pH of the fruit juice and Total acidity (%) and specific gravity were significantly increased by different treatments of plant growth regulators and micronutrient at all successive stage. Maximum TSS (13.42 and 13.99 0 brix), ascorbic acid (42.56 and 42.56 mg/ 100 g), sugar content (%) (7.02 and 7.20%), pH of the fruit juice (4.73 and 4.89) and total acidity (%) (0.57 and 0.58%) and specific gravity (1.42 and 1.52) were recorded in successive year in T 17 (GA 3 75ppm+ Zinc sulphate 0.4% + Boric acid 0.4%) and minimum quality were observed in T 1.
EFFECT OF MICROALGAL DIETS AND ITS BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION ON GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF ASIATIC FRESHWATER CLAM

Corbicula fluminea clam is one of the most popular food ingredients and nutritional supplements in Taiwan. Increasing the biomass of the clam by culturing it with a proper diet is necessary. For the potential of food availability of the C. fluminea clam, growth and survival were studied by rearing five species of live microalgal diets for eight weeks. The results revealed that the clams fed on C. pyrenoidosa , O. multisporus and C. cryptica showed outstanding results in shell growth and live weight gain. The maximum percentage of clam growth rate, which was measured by shell length, live weight gain and survival rate were found when fed on C. pyrenoidosa , O. multisporus and C. cryptica , respectively. However, the clams had a negative live weight gain when fed on S. acutus and C. microporum , due to the inappropriate size of the diets. The most significant protein content in clam tissue was shown when fed on C. pyrenoidosa (58.34%), and C. cryptica stimulated the highest lipid content in clam tissue (25.06%). Therefore, it suggested that the most suitable live microalgal foods are C. pyrenoidosa , O. multisporus and C. cryptica , for which useful algae and non-toxic species were selected to support C. fluminea growth.
Central Economic Modelling Econometrics Enhancing Prudent Fiscal Policy

The objective of this paper is to derive the characteristics of an eﬀective governance framework ensuring incentives for conducting a prudent ﬁscal policy. We study this problem with the use of econometric tools and a sample of 28 European Union Member States between 2003 and 2017. By looking at speciﬁc reforms and measures, not only we verify the synthetic eﬀectiveness of ﬁscal constraints but also we analyse speciﬁc elements of the governance framework. Our study shows that ﬁscal balances are aﬀected not only by the economic cycle, but, among others, by the level of public debt and its cost. We ﬁnd that the existence of numerical ﬁscal rules, in that speciﬁcally revenue and expenditures rules, their strong legal entrenchment, surveillance mechanisms, sanctions, and ﬂexibility with respect to business cycle have a signiﬁcant impact on curbing deﬁcits.
of Dendritic Cells SWAP-70 Restricts Spontaneous Maturation

Spontaneous maturation observed in dendritic cell (DC) cultures has been linked to their capacity to induce immune responses. Despite several recent studies, the mechanisms and signals triggering spontaneous maturation of DCs are largely unknown. We found that the absence of SWAP-70 causes spontaneous maturation of spleen- and bone marrow–derived DCs and, in vivo, of spleen-resident CD11c + CD11b + CD8 a 2 DCs. Activation markers, cross-presentation of exogenous Ags, and activation of CD8 + T cells are much increased in Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs. Spontaneous maturation of Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs depends on cell–cell contact and does not involve b -catenin signaling. SWAP-70 is known to regulate integrin activity. Signaling through the integrin CD11b ( a M ) subunit increases spontaneous maturation of wild-type (wt), but not of Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs. Signaling through the CD18 ( b 2 ) subunit decreases spontaneous maturation of wt and Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs. Constitutive activation of RhoA in Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs was determined as a key mechanism causing the increased spontaneous maturation. Inhibition of RhoA early, but not late, in the activation process reduces spontaneous maturation in Swap-70 2 / 2 DCs to wt levels. Inhibition of RhoA activation during CD11b integrin activation had a signiﬁcant effect only in Swap-70 2 / 2 but not in wt DCs. Together, our data suggest that integrin-mediated spontaneous maturation of wt DCs does not depend on active RhoA, whereas the increase in spontaneous maturation of Swap70 2 / 2 DCs is supported by integrin CD11b and by hyperactive RhoA. Thus, SWAP-70 deﬁciency reveals two pathways that contribute to spontaneous maturation of DCs. The Journal of Immunology , 2013, 190: 000–000.

DIFFERENCES IN THE RISK FACTORS AND INPATIENTS OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION BY AGE IN DURRES POPULATION

Background: Despite the greater risk of AMI among older patients and the increasing size of this population the relationship between age, clinical presentation and outcome of AMI in elderly patients is incompletely understood. The few studies have explored age-associated differences in AMI presentation and outcomes in elderly patients. Purpose: The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of risk factors and in hospital outcome in elderly patients me AMI. Methods: We enrolled in the study 499 patients consecutive with AMI admitted in cardiology department from October 2011 to October 2014.The baseline characteristics, traditional risk factors for CHD and in-hospital outcome were analyzed across some age-based strata (in years): 25-44, 45-54.55-64, 65 to 74, 75 to 84, and ≥85 years of age. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 16.0. P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of 499 patients with AMI,19(3.8%) belonged age group 25-44 years old,62(12.4%) belonge age group 45-54 years old,153(30.7%) belonged age group 55-64 years old, 161(32.3%) belonged age group 65-74years old, 75(15%) belonged age group 75-84years old and 29(5.8%) belonged age group ≥85years old. Of them the percentage of female were higher in age group ≥85years old (37.9%) and the percentage of male were higher in age group 75-84 yrs (73.4%). The age group patients 65-74 yrs represented with ≥ 3 risk factors (31% vs 14.5% and 17.2%) and ≥4 risk factors (37.5% vs 19.2% and 24.1%). The age group patients 65-74 years more frequently had an anterior infarction (58.3% vs 50.6% and 27.7%) and the higher percentage of pulmonary edema (18% vs 1.3% and 13.7%) p 0.001. The age group ≥85 vj more frequently had an inferior infarction (68.9%) and congestive heart failure (33.3%) p 0.001 A small proportion of elderly patients underwent coronary angiography (16% vs 30.4%) and revascularization (58.3% vs 69.3%). In hospital mortality were higher in the age group ≥85 vj (17.2% vs 8%). p 0.002. Conclusions: The elderly patients with AMI were female, had a higher incidence of hypertension, smoking, obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Most of them had ≥ 2 risk factors. The elderly received less frequently a coronary angiography after episode of AMI. The prevalence of cardiac failure was higher in the elderly AMI patients. In hospital mortality were higher in this subset population. The risk of in hospital mortality were higher in this age group. Older age was associated with a greater proportion of patients with functional limitations, heart failure, prior coronary disease and renal insufficiency and a lower proportion of male and diabetic patients.
Characterization of Ascochyta isolates and susceptibility of pea cultivars to the ascochyta disease complex in Alberta

The relative virulence of 109 Ascochyta isolates collected from pea fields in Alberta from 1996 to 1998 were evaluated on 10-day-old seedlings by the excised leaf-assay technique. Twenty-eight isolates were avirulent, while the others produced lesions of various sizes on pea leaves. DNA samples from 86 isolates were amplified by the RAPD technique using PCR with single primers. One dominant genotype of Ascochyta pisi was identified throughout Alberta, but variations in virulence were not clearly differentiated by the RAPD technique. Five Ascochyta isolates, four virulent and one avirulent, were used to assess the susceptibility of 20 field pea cultivars available in Alberta, including 13 yellow types and seven green types. Based on symptom development, the yellow-type cultivars Swing, Eiffel and Delta, and the green-type cultivar Orb, were the most susceptible. Of yellow-type cultivars, Voyageur, Carneval and Montana were most resistant to A scochyta infection.
acute coronary syndromes risk

and Bartorelli. The time between myocardial infarction and intracoronary infusion therapy was nearly identical in the BMC and placebo group (median of 4 days), thus any spontaneous improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prior to intracoronary infusion therapy may have occurred to the same extent in both groups. As suggested by Marenzi and Bartorelli, we re-analysed a potential effect of time to reperfusion therapy and infarct location on treatment effect by BMC administration. Randomization to BMC remained significantly associated with improved recovery of LVEF after adjusting for time to first reperfusion therapy (P 1⁄4 0.013) as well as infarct location (anterior vs. inferior) (P 1⁄4 0.021). There was no interaction between BMC treatment effect and infarct location (P 1⁄4 0.87) or time to reperfusion (P 1⁄4 0.60). Likewise, the beneficial effect of BMC administration on the combined clinical end point death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or revascularization procedures remained statistically significant in favour of BMC therapy, when adjusting for time to reperfusion therapy (P 1⁄4 0.018) or infarct location (P 1⁄4 0.013). Neither infarct location (P 1⁄4 0.37) nor time to reperfusion (categorized according to the median of 4.5 h) (P 1⁄4 0.47) was predictive for cardiovascular event rate. Thus, neither infarct location nor time to reperfusion had an impact on the results of the REPAIR-AMI trial, that intracoronary BMC administration favourably affects recovery of LVEF as well as clinical outcome.
