Relationship Between Lipid Abnormalities and Insulin Resistance in Japanese School Children

Objective— Dyslipidemia and insulin resistance (IR) are risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in adults. To help prevent the development of CHD, it may be useful to understand the relationship between lipid abnormalities and IR during childhood. Methods and Results— IR was assessed by the homeostasis model approximation index. We studied 1175 Japanese school children (642 boys and 533 girls), aged between 7 and 12 years. Obesity was defined by the body mass index standard deviation score (BMISD) (obese: BMISD ≥2.0). BMISD was most significantly associated with IR in nonobese children (P=0.000). Associations of IR with lipid-related parameters were affected by BMISD. After being corrected by BMISD, in nonobese children, log triglycerides (TG), apoB and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size in boys and log TG, LDL size, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in girls were still significantly associated with IR (P=0.000 to 0.017). In obese children, all parameters except for LDL cholesterol in b.

Consistency of Rural Muslim Communities in Maintaining Safety (Hifdz Al-Nafs) in Performing the Worship of Daily Prayers (Shalat) in the Midst of Covid-19 Outbreak

All this time there has been an assumption that rural communities are frequently associated as disadvantaged communities who do not have high consistency in maintaining personal safety in carrying out worship, especially when they face the potency of transmitting the covid-19 outbreak. This qualitative research uses a descriptive-analysis technique that results in the finding that when the covid-19 outbreak occurs, there is a congregation in one area in Bengkulu, Indonesia, apparently having a high consistency in maintaining personal safety in carrying out worship both at mosque and at home. The main factors that encourage the congregation to be consistent in maintaining personal safety in the worship because they have a deep awareness in carrying out Islamic religious orders, so as it has implications for mosque worshipers who then have consistency in maintaining personal safety, personal hygiene, home and mosque environment and togetherness in combating potential covid-19 transmission.
Quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of ganache added
 with Porphyra tenera powder

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of ganache added with Porphyra tenera powder (PTP). The levels of PTP addition to ganache were 0, 1, 2, and 3 wt%. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) values of the ganache in the Hunter color system decreased upon increasing the amount of PTP. In addition, textural examinations showed that the hardness of the ganache increased upon PTP addition. Furthermore, sensory evaluations indicated that the overall acceptability score was highest for the ganache chocolate containing 1% PTP, whereby the color, flavor, and taste scores were the highest. Meanwhile, the moisture content decreased upon increasing the PTP content, which differed significantly from the control. Moreover, the sugar content (°Brix) and reducing sugar content increased upon increasing the PTP content. It was also found that the phycocyanin and chlorophyll contents in the ganache containing 3% PTP were higher than for the other samples, and the total phenolics and flavonoid contents increased upon increasing the amount of added PTP. Finally, the DPPH radical scavenging and SOD-like activities of the ganache increased with greater quantities of PTP. These results, therefore, indicate that the addition of PTP to ganache chocolate can lead to the manufacture of high quality chocolate with a high antioxidant activity.
Does Credit Supply Accelerate Business Cycle Changes in Korea?: Some New Evidence by Incorporating Regime Changes

This work empirically investigates how commercial banks' aggregate credit supply is associated with business cycle over different regimes of the Korean economy. Linear empirical models employed in most of previous studies are subject to a potential missapecification problem because it is well known that both real GDP and credit supply reveal different dynamic properties over different regimes. This work finds that credit supply has asymmetric effect on business cycle for expansion and contraction phases when the Smooth Transition Autoregressive Vector Error Correction Model (or STAR-VECM) is employed. Our empirical findings are as follows. Firstly, we find that credit supply has procyclical effect on real GDP in all phases. Secondly, the procyclical effects are significantly intensified especially in contractionary phases which indicates asymmetry of its effect. In sum, this result supports 'Credit Acceleration Hypothesis' of Bernanke et al. (1999). Lastly, we further find that real GDP has asymmetric effects on banks' credit supply with countercyclical effect on expansionary regimes.
Overexpression of phytoglobin in barley alters both compatible and incompatible interactions with the mildew pathogen Blumeria graminis

This study showed how barley plants can be shifted in their response to isolates of the mildew pathogen Blumeria graminis with different host adaptation by overexpression of the barley phytoglobin gene HvHb1. At early infection stages, plants overexpressing phytoglobin (GPHb1) showed less papilla formation and more hypersensitive response against both virulent and avirulent pathogen isolates compared to the wildtype (WT) plants. The shift was most pronounced in a wheat‐adapted isolate (B. graminis f. sp. tritici). At later infection stages, GPHb1 plants infected with a virulent pathogen isolate (A6) showed less leaf chlorosis compared to the WT plants, indicating delayed senescence. The chlorophyll level was significantly higher in A6‐infected GPHb1 plants 9 days after inoculation (dai) and the senescence indicators sphingosine‐1‐phosphate:ceramide ratio and phytol content confirmed delayed senescence. At 14 dai the percentage of fungal DNA was significantly higher on the GPHb1 plants than on WT plants, probably as a result of the delayed senescence. The results show that overexpression of phytoglobin (previously known as plant haemoglobin) can be an important tool to understand disease‐related stress effects in plants of agronomic importance and for understanding basic resistance mechanisms. Studying this process in more detail may provide insights into how to alleviate stress‐related senescence in plants.
Nuclear simple sequence repeat markers are superior to DNA barcodes for identification of closely related Rhododendron species on the same mountain

Accurate species delimitation of sampled biological material is critical for a range of studies. Although the DNA barcodes developed in recent years are useful for identifying numerous well differentiated species that have not experienced frequent gene flow, they fail to delimit recently diverged species, especially those with extensive introgressions. Here we use five Rhododendron species growing together on the same mountain as a model system to compare the species delimitation effectiveness of the DNA barcodes (internal transcribed spacer, matK, psbA‐trnH, and rbcL) previously proposed versus 15 pairs of microsatellite markers. Using these markers, we genotyped 129 individuals, which were members of five species according to morphological identification. We identified five simple sequence repeat genetic clusters (independently evolving lineages) corresponding to the morphological identification. However, we found that numerous individuals contained cryptic hybrid introgressions from the other species. The four DNA barcodes could not delimit three out of four closely related species that showed clear morphological differentiation and cryptic introgressions. Even after excluding all cryptic hybrids, two closely related species could not be successfully identified. The low discrimination ability of the DNA barcodes for closely related Rhododendron species could result from two, not mutually exclusive factors: introgressive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting. Our results highlight the importance of simple sequence repeat markers in delimiting closely related species and identifying cryptic introgressions in the absence of morphological changes.
Whom to Educate? Financial Literacy and Investor Awareness

Investors may be unaware of the high risk associated with a high-return financial product and thus may purchase risky products inconsistent with their risk attitudes. We conducted an experiment and survey in Shenzhen, China, to measure individuals' risk preferences, financial literacy, and the effect of a financial education program. Participating in our education program significantly reduced individuals' tendency to invest in high-risk products, especially for those who are risk-averse. Chinese individuals in our survey possess inadequate financial knowledge as in the United States but exhibit a lower degree of self-confidence about their knowledge of finance. Surprisingly, the responses to standard financial literacy questions are not related to individuals' awareness of the link between high risk and high return, calling for designing a new question of financial literacy as proposed in our study.
Effects of swine manure application and row spacing on growth of pearl millet (Cenchrus americanus) during the establishment period and quality of silage produced in Southwest Nigeria

The effects of swine manure application and row spacing on dry matter yields of Cenchrus americanus (pearl millet) at 6 weeks after sowing and chemical composition, fermentative characteristics and in vitro gas production of silage produced from the forage were studied. The design was a 2 × 2 factorial with 2 row spacings (0.5 and 1.0 m) and 2 levels of manure application [no manure (Control) and swine manure at 5 t/ha (22% DM; 0.34% N on DM basis)] replicated 3 times. Swine manure application had no effect (P>0.05) on dry matter yield but a row spacing of 0.5 m produced higher (P<0.05) dry matter yields than 1.0 m spacing (mean 7.05 vs. 5.57 t DM/ha). Fresh forage from manured treatments had significantly higher crude protein concentration (114.9–124.2 g/kg DM) than from unfertilized plots (86.2–95.1 g/kg DM). After being ensiled for 42 days, CP% in the forage had declined by 16–18% but relative differences remained. Quality measurements indicated that silages from the various treatments were all of acceptable standard although CP% of silage from Control plots was barely high enough to provide a maintenance diet. This study suggests that, under the experimental conditions, planting of pearl millet at a spacing of 0.5 m rather than 1.0 m would increase DM yields obtained in the first 6 weeks of growth, while application of swine manure would not affect yields but would increase CP% of forage produced. The laboratory study indicates that the forage produced could be ensiled successfully although there was significant loss of crude protein during the process. Since there were no significant increases in DM yields of forage, other benefits, e.g. increase in N concentration, improved soil organic matter, etc., would need to be considered in justifying the additional cost of drying and applying the manure.
Simulations and Predictions of COVID-19 Pandemic With the Use of SIR Model

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic is of great interest to researchers due to high mortality and a very negative impact to the world economy. A detailed scientific analysis of the phenomenon is yet to come, but the public is already interested in the problems of duration of the epidemic, the expected number of patients, where and when the pandemic started. Correct simulation of the pandemic dynamics needs complicated mathematical models and many efforts for unknown parameters identification. In this article, preliminary estimates for many countries and world will be presented, summarized and discussed. Objective. We will estimate the epidemic characteristics for USA, Germany, UK, the Republic of Korea and in the world with the use of SIR simulations and compare them with the results obtained before for Italy, Spain, France, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Kyiv. The hidden periods, epidemic durations, final numbers of cases and quarantine measures will be discussed. Methods. In this study we use the known SIR (susceptible-infected-removed) model for the dynamics of the epidemic, the known exact solution of the linear differential equations and statistical approach developed before. Results. The optimal values of the SIR model parameters were identified with the use of statistical approach for epidemic dynamics in USA, Germany, UK, the Republic of Korea, and in the world. The actual number of cases and the number of patients spreading the infection versus time were calculated. The hidden periods, durations and final sizes of the epidemic were evaluated. In particular, the pandemic began in China no later than October, 2019. If current trends continue, the end of the pandemic should be expected no earlier than March 2021, the global number of cases will exceed 5 million. A simple method for assessing the risk of premature weakening of quarantines is proposed. Conclusions. The SIR model and statistical approach to the parameter identification are helpful to make some reliable estimations for the epidemic dynamics, e.g., the real time of the outbreak, final size and duration of the epidemic and the number of persons spreading the infection versus time. This information will be useful to regulate the quarantine activities and to predict the medical and economic consequences of the pandemic.
Effect of seed storage on seed germination and seedling quality of Festulolium in comparison with related forage grasses

Tests of seed germination, seed dormancy and seedling growth were performed on 0-, 6-, 20- and 30-months-old seed lots of Festulolium in comparison with Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis). Tests were performed on seeds harvested in 2 different years (2014 and 2015) resulting in no major difference between the years. Seed storage affected seed viability and dormancy and seedling growth in all 3 grasses. The maximum germination of Festulolium seeds was achieved 6 months after harvest (95% normal seedlings); germination decreased significantly thereafter. While maximum germination of L. multiflorum and F. pratensis seeds was also achieved following storage for 6 months, these germination rates (93 and 90%, respectively) were retained until at least 20 months in storage. After storage for 30 months, seed germination of Festulolium, L. multiflorum and F. pratensis had declined to 72, 79 and 83%, respectively. High germination in all species was associated with higher rates of seedling growth. In an artificial seed ageing test, a temperature of 41 °C (during 48 and 72 hours) was found to effectively rank seed lots for germination performance in all 3 grasses. This test seems to have application for use in the seed trade to identify seed lots which could deteriorate more rapidly in storage. Further studies are needed to verify this hypothesis.

Evaluation of Physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Some Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Genotypes under Salinity Stress

Physiological and biochemical parameters of plants among five wheat genotypes: KH-65, KRL-210, KRL-99, PBW-343 and PBW-373 were studied. Wheat plantlets, at three-leaf stage, were supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mM of NaCl for 48 hours. Principal component analysis revealed chlorophyll and carotenoid degradation as best salinity indicator for studied wheat genotypes. Salt tolerance levels of studied wheat genotypes were in the order: KH-65 greater than KRL-210 greater than KRL-99 greater than PBW-343 greater than PBW-373. The study has revealed that observed physiological and biochemical data may provide an insight into the existence of internal mechanism in salt tolerant genotypes to cope up with salinity stress.

The Problematic Genus Sclerocardius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae: Ithyporini)

The genus Sclerocardius is revised, using morphological characters. Four species are recognized, including S. africanus (Boheman), S. bohemani Schoenherr stat.rev., S. indicus Hartmann and S. kuscheli sp.nov. The species Sclerocardius madecassus Ferragu is synonymized with S. bohemani syn.nov., and Charactocnemus hintzi Hartmann is treated as a junior synonym of S. bohemani, not S. africanus. A key to species is given. Lectotypes are designated for Heteramphus africanus Boheman and Sclerocardius africanus Schoenherr. A female elytro-tergal stridulatory system involving the modification of the wing-binding patch of the seventh tergite is reported for the Sclerocardiina for the first time and supports the inclusion of the subtribe within the Ithyporini.
