IN VITRO EVALUATION OF ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF SELECTED MALAYSIAN PLANTS AGAINST THE WILT PATHOGEN OF BANANA, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense TROPICAL RACE 4

Fusarium wilt of banana is one of the most serious diseases affecting banana plantations worldwide. In this study, the inhibitory activities of four essential oils (clove, cinnamon, lesser alpinia and eucalyptus) and five hydrosols (kaffir lime, eucalyptus, bitter ginger, fig and tea tree) on the in vitro growth of the causal agent of the disease, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4), were investigated. Results showed that some of these plant extracts inhibited the in vitro mycelial growth of TR4 in a dose-dependent manner. Clove oil and tea tree hydrosol were the most effective in suppressing mycelial growth in this study, the with percentage inhibition radial growth (PIRG) recorded at 46% and 69%, respectively, while lesser alpinia oil and kaffir lime hydrosol showed moderate inhibition of mycelial growth with the PIRG of 33% and 64%, respectively. These results suggest that these compounds have the potential to be used in future greenhouse studies as a single treatment or in combination with previously established biological control agents against Fusarium wilt of banana.
Nonvaccine human papillomavirus genotype common in women with HIV failing cervical precancer treatment

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Objective: The aim of this study was to assess failure after treatment of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) by HIV status and human papillomavirus (HPV) type. Design: A population-based register study. Methods: The Swedish National HIV Registry, the Swedish Population Registry and the Swedish National Cervical Screening Registry were linked to identify all women in Stockholm and Gothenburg counties (Sweden) living with HIV and diagnosed with CIN2+ sometime between 1983 and 2014 (n = 179). HIV-negative controls with CIN2+, were matched (2 : 1) for country of birth. CIN2+ biopsies were retrieved from biobanks and genotyped. Absolute risk and adjusted odds ratios (adjOR) of treatment failure by HIV status given HPV type (HPV16/18 vs. non-HPV16/18) were calculated. Results: HPV16 (32%) and HPV35 (24%) dominated in women living with HIV (WLWH) with failure, HPV35 mainly in women born in sub-Saharan Africa (67%). The absolute risk of failure in women with HPV16/18 was 26% [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 14–44] in WLWH and 12% in HIV-negative (95% CI 7–19). The absolute risk of failure in women with non-HPV16/18 was 20% (95% CI 12–31) in WLWH and 5% in HIV-negative (95% CI 2–11). WLWH with non-HPV16/18 were six times more likely to fail than HIV-negative (adjOR 6.1, 95% CI 2.0–18.6). Conclusion: HPV35, not included in current HPV vaccines, was the second most common type in WLWH with failure. WLWH with non-HPV16/18 were six times more likely to fail than HIV-negative. This could have implications for surveillance and vaccination post CIN2+ treatment, particularly in WLWH from sub-Saharan Africa.
Modification of Angular Kinematics and Spatiotemporal Parameters during Running after Central and Peripheral Fatigue

Fatigue causes kinematics modifications during running, and it could be related to injuries. The aim was to identify and compare the effects of central and peripheral fatigue on angular kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters during running. Angular kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters were evaluated using an infrared motion capture system and were registered during 2 min treadmill running in pre- and post-fatigue states in eighteen male recreational runners. Central fatigue was induced by a 30 min running fatigue protocol on a treadmill, while peripheral fatigue in quadriceps and hamstrings muscles was induced by an isokinetic dynamometer fatigue protocol. Central fatigue increased the anterior shank oscillation during the initial contact, knee flexion during the maximum absorption, posterior shank oscillation during propulsion, and stance time (p < 0.05). Peripheral fatigue decreased ankle dorsiflexion during initial contact and increased knee flexion and posterior shank oscillation during propulsion (p < 0.05). Moreover, central fatigue increased to a greater extent the hip and knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion during initial contact and maximum absorption as well as stance time and propulsion time (p < 0.05). These results suggested that central fatigue causes greater increases in the range of movements during the midstance than peripheral fatigue.
Trends in Leading Cancer Incidence among Iranian Women: Annual Cancer Registry Reports, 2003–2015

Background: Cancer is one of the most important causes of death in the world and has an increasing trend globally. We aimed at investigating the five leading cancers in Iranian women based on a 10-year history of cancer registry reports and illustrating the trends in all cancer sites and breast cancer as the top leading one from 2003 to 2015. Methods: Data were obtained from national cancer registry study. Age-Specific Incidence Rate (ASR) data were obtained from Iran’s annual national cancer registry reports between 2003 to 2010 and 2014 to 2015. Using Joinpoint regression, we analyzed incidence trends over time for all cancer sites and the top leading cancer from 2003 to 2015. Results: Breast cancer was ranked first in Iranian women. Its ASR raised from 15.96 in 2003 to 32.63 in 2015. Results of trend analysis based on Annual Percent Change (APC) index showed 5.6 (95%CI: 2.9 to 8.3) and 4.6 (95%CI: 2.0 to 7.2) annual increase in the incidence of all cancer sites and breast cancer from 2003 to 2015, respectively. Conclusion: This study indicates significant increasing trends in all cancer sites and breast cancer incidence in Iran. Despite the national coverage of cancer registry over the past decade, more considerations should be taken into account, especially in Breast cancer.
Review Of Stormwater Management In Ontario And A Case Study On The Etobicoke Exfiltration System

Stormwater management has transformed throughout the decades with the purpose of maintaining the pre-development hydrological cycle to protect humans and the environment. Despite the progress, Ontario’s water bodies have continued to degrade. This research discusses and recommends three essential modifications to stormwater management to increase environmental and human protection. These include: 1) management based on the four seasons, 2) management based on regional conditions such as local climate and receiving water body characteristics, and 3) updating current stormwater management objectives to provide detailed direction. The Etobicoke Exfiltration System is used as a case study to demonstrate some aspects of the proposed stormwater management modifications and to show the benefits of addressing the five stormwater characteristics (volume, peak flow, quality, duration, frequency) throughout the year. Modelling its performance under 2 to 100 year Chicago storms and use of previous EES studies show the wide range of objectives it can achieve. Future stormwater designs should look to the EES as insight into how stormwater can be properly managed.
Antioxidant and Hypolipidemic Effects of Ipomoea batatas L and Pandanus conoideus Lam Combination on Rats Fed with High Cholesterol Diet

BACKGROUND: Chronic hypercholesterolemia is an important predisposing factor of cardiovascular diseases. The underlying process is commonly associated with oxidative stress. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Ipomoea batatas (IB) L tablet and Pandanus conoideus (PC) Lam extract against oxidative stress and lipid profile in rats. METHODS: This study used a pre- and post-test control group design. Wistar male rats were randomized into four groups consisting of seven rats each. The groups were control group, PC Lam extract 0.4 cc/rat/day (PC group), IB L tablet 200 mg/rat/day (IB group), and PC 0.2 cc+IB 200 mg/rat/day (PC+IB group). All groups were received high cholesterol diet for 4 weeks. The blood samples at baseline and the end of this study were used for the lipid profile, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) examination. The result was then analyzed with an Analysis of Variance test. RESULTS: There were significant differences in changes of total cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, MDA, and SOD in the treatment group (PC, IB, PC+IB) compared to the control (p < 0.001). The decrease of MDA and increase of SOD were mainly found in the PC+IB group compared to the PC group and IB group (p < 0.05). The changes in lipid profiles were mainly found in the PC+IB group and PC group compared to the IB group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Administration of PC and IB combination is an effective hypolipidemic agent. This combination has superior antioxidant activity compared to the single-agent (PC or IB) and control.
Senior leadership succession and market share: An econometric case study on Native American casinos

Little is known on how turnover and senior leadership attributes affect the long-term performance of a casino resort. The ability to longitudinally measure the turnover effect on market share has been problematic due to most gaming markets exhibiting dynamic conditions with exogenous factors that provide competitive advantages. This study analyzed the effect the turnover rate and successor attributes of the CEO and Chairman of Tribal Council positions have on their casinos’ market share within a balanced oligopolistic market of Connecticut. Additionally, this study investigated which attributes amplify the sensitivity of the CEO tenure status to market share growth. The results suggest increased CEO turnover and CEO hires who already had prior CEO casino experience hinder long-term market share. Moreover, the tenures of more experienced CEOs were less susceptible to market share performance. The results can be leveraged for improved hiring practices at the senior levels of Native American casinos.

Understanding the role of webcare in the online buying service recovery context

ABSTRACT Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and reputation are crucial in the online buying marketplace, because negative WOM can easily spread very quickly. Businesses are investing a lot in consolidating customer relationships in order to improve their services and eliminate negative eWOM. So far, many studies have been carried out on the issue of eWOM, with some scholars proposing the concept of Webcare to analyze how businesses operate and conduct eWOM. In fact, it is hard to provide service recovery for many online companies, because service failure cannot be made up immediately and efficiently. And there are few studies do empirically address the issue of Webcare in the online buying context. In this vein, following “A post-acceptance of IS continuance model” originated from Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT), this present study proposed a research model of “A post-acceptance of service recovery continuance model” in the research context of service recovery. The findings showed that “Post-acceptance of IS continuance model” can be applied into the context of service recovery with a highly explanatory power. The study confirmed the antecedent role of Webcare in the “Post-acceptance of service recovery continuance (repurchase) model”, and found that the Webcare should be employed in all of the online buying process as the trigger of service recovery sequence to satisfied consumers, instead of post remedy after the service failure.
Cook Slow, Eat Fine — Consumer Attitudes on Food Quality in New Gastronomic Trends

The introduction and application of new ideas in business plays a key role in the development of the company and is an important factor for competitiveness in the market. Leading hospitality companies, through the application of different kinds of standards, have introduced numerous innovations that have influenced a number of changes in such businesses. The constant pursuit of innovation has led to the emergence of new directions in gastronomy. Preparing food in the most modern appliances and designing menus in almost laboratory-like conditions have become features of fine-dining and molecular gastronomy restaurants. A return to old, forgotten tastes, often termed hedonism, in turn, characterises slow food gastronomy. However, modern generations’ dining wishes are being realised in fast-food restaurants. The aim of this study, based on a sample of 580 people, was to provide insight into how familiar Belgrade residents are with new trends in restaurant food preparation, with special emphasis on the importance of food quality.Keywords: gastronomy, food, hospitality, trends, attitudes.
Effect of the Sex of New Born During Various Days of Transition Period on Various Physico-Chemical, Compositional and Microbiological Characteristics of Bovine Colostrum

The current investigation was undertaken with the aim of studying the effect of the sex of new born during various days of transition period on various physico-chemical, compositional and microbiological characteristics of bovine colostrum. With regards to the effect of sex of the new born on various physico-chemical, compositional and microbiological characteristics of colostrum, the specific gravity, fat, total protein, casein protein, whey proteins, Lactose, total solids, solids not fat, and electrical conductivity of the colostrum samples obtained from the animals that had delivered a male new born was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher compared to the animals that delivered the female offspring, however the sex of the new born had no significant (p > 0.05) effect on the ash, pH and total plate count (TPC) content of the colostrum samples.
The Response of Daily and Sub‐Daily Extreme Precipitations to Changes in Surface and Dew‐Point Temperatures

Extreme precipitation events are expected to increase in frequency and intensity in the future climate, but the magnitude of these changes remains uncertain. The relationship between extreme precipitation and the surface temperature has been investigated to more robustly assess projected increases in extreme precipitation considering that projected temperature is more adequately simulated. Relationships between extreme precipitation (daily and sub‐daily) and surface air temperature (SAT) or surface dew‐point temperature (SDPT) are analyzed in this study using the 50‐members ensemble from the fifth version of the Canadian Regional Climate Model covering the Northeastern North America region over the period 1956–2099. Temperature‐precipitation scaling rates (TPSRs) were estimated using local SAT and SDPT seasonal anomalies as covariate over both periods for 2–100‐year extreme precipitation events and durations ranging from 1 to 24 h. Contrasting responses were obtained when using SAT or SDPT, especially in the southern part of the domain. Median scaling rates over the entire domain for SDPT were close to the Clausius‐Clapeyron scaling ( ≈7%/ °C) while they were much smaller for SAT and even negative in southern regions, showing that moisture availability is a key factor for these regions. TPSR based on SDPT is also more robustly constrained and can be used to estimate changes in short‐duration extreme precipitation in a future period from TPSR in the historical period over a large part of the domain.
Evaluation of open reduction and internal fixation in closed fracture of talus: Seven -year observational study

Background: But because of the unique anatomical shapes and the vascular anatomy of the talus bone fracture of it is most challenging injury to manages. Despite the development in the field of diagnostics and improvement is surgical procedure, the complication is still frequent. As there is variability in the outcome of management of talus present study has been done to evaluate the outcome of open reduction and internal fixation in closed fracture of talus in our clinical scenario. Method: Patients with fracture of talus admitted in the department of orthopaedics and trauma are enrolled for this study based on inclusion and inclusion criteria. Patient were evaluated both radiologically in anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise radiographs at two weeks, six weeks, twelve weeks, and six months postoperatively and clinically as well. All patients were followed upto two year and clinical evaluation done by AOFAS is a clinician-reporting tool. Result:Among patients with type 2 fracture of neck of talus one has developed post-operative wound infection, one has developed post traumatic arthritis and two developed avascular necrosis. Among patients with type 3 fracture of neck of talus, two have developed post traumatic arthritis and two developed avascular necrosis. Among patients with type 4 fracture of neck of talus one has developed post-operative wound infection, and two developed avascular necrosis. Discussion and Conclusion:From present study we can conclude that fracture of talus is uncommon with male predominance. Fracture of neck of talus is more common than body. Anteromedial and anterolateral approach was commonly used in surgical treatment. Avascular necrosis was common in type 4 fracture of neck of talus and post traumatic arthritis was found in type 3 fracture. As per ankle hindfoot scale clinical outcome fair and good outcome was equally found and 25% patient have poor outcome.
Effect of Workplace Spirituality on Perceived Organizational Support and Job Performance among University Administrative Employees

The need to fully exploit human resources for competitive advantage has brought spirituality into the work setting. The study set to examine the predictive relationship workplace spirituality has with perceived organizational support and job performance. The assessment is premised on Rego and Cunha's five-workplace spirituality dimension model. This study adopted a correlational design with a self-administered questionnaire of 118 university administrative employees at a university. The research hypotheses were tested with regression analysis. Results show that composite workplace spirituality correlates positively and significantly with perceived organizational support and job performance. However, only a few of the dimensions show positive and significant results. This study shows that enhancing workplace spirituality improves employees perceived organizational support and job performance. Therefore, it is recommended that human resource management practitioners recognize the influence of workplace spirituality in the effective functioning of the organization.
Effect of cultivars and phosphorus fertilization in Direct-seeded Rice

A field experiment entitled “Effect of cultivars and phosphorus fertilization in Direct-seeded rice” was conducted during kharif 2016 at the Shankarpur research farm of ICARCRURRS, Hazaribag, Jharkhand. The soil of the experiment site was clay loam in texture, low in available N (153 kg/ha) and P (10.3 kg/ha) and high in available K (380 kg/ha) and medium in organic carbon (0.62%) content. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three main plots and seven sub plots treatments replicated thrice. Three rice cultivars ‘Vandana’ ‘Anjali’ and ‘CR Dhan 40’ were included in main plots. However, seven different P fertilization practices were included in the sub plots where P was applied through SSP and microbial inoculants in various combinations. Results obtained from experiment showed that growth parameters were observed highest in rice cultivar ‘CR Dhan 40’ compared to ‘Anjali’ and ‘Vandana’. Likewise, P application of 90 kg P2O5 through SSP recorded highest value for all the growth parameters which remained at par with P application of 60 kg P2O5 through SSP+PSB+AM. Similar trend was observed for yield attributes of DSR. Besides, rice cultivar ‘CR Dhan 40’ produced highest grain (3.91 t/ha) and straw yield (6.17 t/ha) of DSR. Similarly, highest grain (4.25 t/ha) and straw yield (6.79 t/ha) was recorded with P application of 90 kg P2O5 through SSP which remained at par with P application of 60 kg P2O5 through SSP+PSB+AM. Almost 40% increment in grain yield of DSR was noticed with P fertilization with 90 kg P2O5 through SSP compared to no P fertilization. Further, microbial inoculants also increased the yield of DSR when applied at the same dose solely through SSP. P fertilization along with microbial inoculants was found economically more viable then P fertilization solely through inorganic fertilization. Besides, efficiency of applied P was also recorded significantly higher wherever PSB and AM applied. It was concluded from the findings of the experiment that application of 60 kg P2O5 applied through SSP along with phosphorus solubilising (PSB) and mobilising(AM) organisms in CR Dhan 40’ can enhance the DSR productivity and profitability in the eastern regions which has been selected for second green revolution in India. सीधी बीजाई धान म िविभन िक ो ंव फा ोरस बंधन का अ यन
