Ocean acidification has different effects on the production of dimethylsulfide and dimethylsulfoniopropionate measured in cultures of Emiliania huxleyi and a mesocosm study: A comparison of laboratory monocultures and community interactions

Environmental context. Approximately 25 % of CO2 released to the atmosphere by human activities has been absorbed by the oceans, resulting in ocean acidification. We investigate the acidification effects on marine phytoplankton and subsequent production of the trace gas dimethylsulfide, a major route for sulfur transfer from the oceans to the atmosphere. Increasing surface water CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) affects the growth of phytoplankton groups to different degrees, resulting in varying responses in community production of dimethylsulfide. Abstract. The human-induced rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide since the industrial revolution has led to increasing oceanic carbon uptake and changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, resulting in lowering of surface water pH. In this study we investigated the effect of increasing CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) on concentrations of volatile biogenic dimethylsulfide (DMS) and its precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), through monoculture studies and community pCO2 perturbation. DMS is a climatically important gas produced by many marine algae: it transfers sulfur into the atmosphere and is a major influence on biogeochemical climate regulation through breakdown to sulfate and formation of subsequent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Overall, production of DMS and DMSP by the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi strain RCC1229 was unaffected by growth at 900 μatm pCO2, but DMSP production normalised to cell volume was 12 % lower at the higher pCO2 treatment. These cultures were compared with community DMS and DMSP production during an elevated pCO2 mesocosm experiment with the aim of studying E. huxleyi in the natural environment. Results contrasted with the culture experiments and showed reductions in community DMS and DMSP concentrations of up to 60 and 32 % respectively at pCO2 up to 3000 μatm, with changes attributed to poorer growth of DMSP-producing nanophytoplankton species, including E. huxleyi, and potentially increased microbial consumption of DMS and dissolved DMSP at higher pCO2. DMS and DMSP production differences between culture and community likely arise from pH affecting the inter-species responses between microbial producers and consumers.
Bullous pemphigoid in elderly woman affected by non-small cell lung cancer treated with pembrolizumab: A case report and review of literature

Introduction Immunotherapy has changed the management of patients with various types of malignancies (melanoma, renal, lung, and bladder cancers) but immune checkpoint inhibitors may be associated with several adverse events. Up to 20% of patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors may develop dermatological immune-related adverse events, mostly rashes and pruritus but rarely even bullous pemphigoid. Case report We report a case of an elderly patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in therapy with pembrolizumab, 200 mg/body every three weeks. After 26 cycles of therapy, the patient developed widespread itching and then after 28 cycles she developed strained blisters filled with serous fluids on predominantly erythematous skin with suspicious of bullous pemphigoid. Management and outcome: Skin biopsy confirms bullous pemphigoid, so we decided to permanently discontinue therapy with pembrolizumab and the patient is currently on therapy with doxycycline, nicotinamide, and clobetasol propionate with good regression of symptoms and cutaneous lesions. Discussion In the literature, the first case of bullous pemphigoid induced by pembrolizumab has been described in 2015. On Pubmed, from 2015 to date, we have found 19 cases of bullous pemphigoid during pembrolizumab therapy but only three of them are related to non-small cell lung cancer, adding our patient we reach a total of 20 cases. It could be interesting to investigate if there is a specific relationship between the appearance of itching and the development of bullous pemphigoid.
Reproductive aspects of Chiton virgulatus in Bahía de La Paz, Gulf of California, Mexico

This study analyzed the reproductive cycle of Chiton virgulatus and its relationship with air temperature (AT) sea and surface temperature (SST), photoperiod, and tidal cycle (TC) in Bahia de La Paz, in the coast of the Gulf of California. Monthly samples were collected from September 2008 to September 2009. The parameters recorded included total length, total weight, and gonad weight of each organism; the gonad was processed using a histological technique, and the gonadal index and length at first maturity (L50) were estimated. C. virgulatus displays partial spawning with a reproductive peak in summer and autumn (July to December). The frequency of ripe organisms was associated with rises in SST (30.6 oC), AT (29.9 oC), and TC (68 cm, high tidal), while photoperiod (longer days) regulated the frequency of developing organisms. The length at first maturity was 29.7 mm. Chiton virgulatus is a polyplacophoran species in which high temperatures and high tides influence reproductive timing, while an increase in daylight boosts gonad development.
Motion Retargeting for Virtual Human Based on Vector Features of Lower Limbs

In view of the contradiction that limited motion data can not meet the requirements of rich and changeable motion, motion reuse technology emerges as the times require, which can drive different human skeleton models with the same motion data to generate corresponding motion. However, when the motion data is used to drive the human models with different heights and bone proportions, motion deformation often occurs. In order to solve this problem, the concept of human lower limb vector is proposed in this paper. By analyzing human motion, it is pointed out that the lower limb vector can maintain the main characteristics of motion, and then a human motion redirection method based on the invariance of lower limb vector feature is proposed. This method can redirect the motion data from the original bone model to the target bone model with different bone length ratio, while maintaining the main characteristics of the original motion. The experimental results show that this method has good motion redirection effect and fast computational efficiency.

Pregnancies without Prenatal Care in the Health District of Commune V in Bamako: Obstetrical Prognosis

Summary: We attempted to determine the obstetric prognosis of women without antenatal care in the Health District of Commune V of Bamako, Mali. Materials and Methods: We undertook this retrospective case-control study from January 1 to March 31, 2017. Of all women having given birth to during this period in this district, we compared characteristics and obstetric outcomes between women without antenatal care (study group) vs. those with antenatal care (age/parity matched control). Results: 13.8% of women were without antenatal care (23.45 ± 9.56 years of age: 13 - 42). Study group (without antenatal care), compared with control, was significantly more likely to be household helpers (OR = 2.5 [2.0 - 3.4]) and single (OR = 2.3 [1.8 - 2.8]). Study group women were more significantly likely to have the following poor obstetric outcomes: premature rupture of the membranes, post-maturity, low birth weight, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, uterine rupture, fetal death, anemia, fetal malposition, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection and maternal death. Study group showed a higher risk of early neonatal death, low Apgar score, and transfer to Neonatology institute. Conclusion: In accordance with the previous reports in any other countries, no prenatal checkup causes higher poor outcome of both mothers and infants/neonates also in this area.
Production, Partial Purification and Characterization of Lipase Enzyme Expressed by Klebsiella pnemoniae of Vegetable Oil Contaminated Soil

Lipases are a versatile class of enzymes owing to their ability to perform a specific range of biotransformations. Bacteria for lipase production were cultured on nutrient agar (NA) plates and identified using Gram Stain and biochemical tests. Screening for lipase producers was performed on NA media supplemented with 3% olive oil at 37 °C. Seven bacteria were isolated and identified as Bacillus megaterium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and Micrococcus luteus. Lipase production was carried using standard methods and the best lipase producer was purified and characterized. The lipase enzyme from K. pneumoniae had a yield of 18.8% and was purified 26.3 fold. The optimum pH for the partially purified lipase was determined to be 8 with maximum activity at 30 °C. The lipase enzyme had affinity for substrates in the following order, olive oil > groundnut oil > palm oil and the activity of the enzyme was enhanced by metal ions in the following order, MgCl2 > CaCl2 > KCl whereas inhibitory effects were observed in the following order, CoCl2 > HgCl2 > CuSO4 > FeCl3. The lipase enzyme had Vmax of 0.0006 U/Sec, Km of 0.4960 mM and Kcat of 0.0125 S.

Adolescence is crucial stage of life where changes occur in thoughts, attitude, ideas, relationships and moral standard. During this period of transition, there is an earlier physical maturity and reproductive capability, than psychological and social maturity. It is the time for acquiring new skills, mastery over environment, learning to handle responsibilities and gaining control over one’s emotions and thoughts.
Job insecurity and subjective sleep quality: The role of spillover and gender

Correspondence Yun‐Kyoung Kim, Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, Salisbury University, Salisbury, MD, USA. Email: yxkim@salisbury.edu Abstract Perceived job insecurity is a critical job stressor that creates the conditions for negative health and performance outcomes for workers while potentially increasing health‐related costs for employers. Sleep quality, an important proxy of health, has been understudied in relation to the impact of perceived job insecurity. Using job stress concepts and a perseverative cognition model, this study examines the association between perceived job insecurity and subjective sleep quality while considering negative work spillover as a mediator. We expand our analysis to consider gender as a moderator of the job insecurity–sleep quality relationship, predicting the relationship will be stronger for men than for women. Study 1 uses a nationally representative sample from the Midlife Development in the United States National Survey Refresher study consisting of 1031 working adults and a multi‐ group path analysis to test our hypotheses. Results show that negative work spillover mediates the relationship between perceived job insecurity and subjective sleep quality. Study 2 uses a sample of 152 working adults who participated in three biweekly surveys. The mediating role of negative work spillover is replicated in Study 2. In both studies, no gender moderation is found. Theoretical and methodological contributions, limitations and future research directions are discussed.
Electronic Physical Education Textbook: Effective or Not? Experimental Study

It is very important for a modern specialist to be aware of information technolo-gies and effectively apply them in their professional activities. Thus, the use of electronic learning tools contributes to the motivation of students and allows them to more deeply master the learning material through video and audio files com-pared to a paper textbook. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effective-ness of the introduction of the experimental electronic textbook in physical educa-tion classes. The proposed textbook consists of 7 modules. The goal, objectives, as well as the tasks for their implementation and test tasks to consolidate the ma-terial learned, have been developed for each module. During January-May 2019, at Aktobe Regional State University named after K. Zhubanov, there was a peda-gogical experiment to introduce an electronic textbook in physical education. The experiment involved 28 young men. The results showed that the introduction of an electronic textbook in the experimental group has a more positive effect on physical fitness compared to the control group.

This study analyzed the pattern of fish consumption among Kogi State University students in Anyigba. It described the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents, determine the effects of socio-economic characteristics on fish consumption, describe the types, forms, reasons for fish consumption and identify the constraints affecting fish consumption among the respondents. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 150 respondents. Well structured questionnaire coupled with interview scheduled were used to elicit primary data from the respondents. Descriptive statistics, binary logit regression and 3point likert scale were used for data analyzing. The results showed that majority (60%) of the respondents were female, 72% were unmarried with an average household size of 3 persons and average income of N 20, 000 per month. Their sources of income were from parents and guardians. The result of the binary logit regression indicated that age (-1.21), income (0.99), price (-0.19), taste (0.65), health benefit (2.31) and price of substitute (0.68) influenced the consumption of fish at 1%, 5% and 10% level of significant respectively. The types of fish consumed were majorly mackerel fish (45.33%), Original Research Article Oyibo et al.; AJAAR, 14(1): 43-55, 2020; Article no.AJAAR. 54281 44 followed by tuna (27.34%). Iced fish were mostly (40%) consumed, followed by 20.67% steamed fish and 7.33% were consumed in grilled form. 43.33% consumed fish for health benefits, 24% consumed fish due to affordability and 14% consumed fish due to availability. Among the constraints facing fish consumption were allergy, proximity, storage and cost with mean score of 2.37, 2.16, 2.10, 2.36 and 2.38 respectively. Thus, fish and fish products were mostly consumed by the respondents with high consumption rate recorded by the female students. The prices of fish should be stabilized, adequate cold storage facilities should be purchased by the fish mongers and the university Fishery department should expand their ponds for efficient production.

Microbiological Quality of Ready-to-Eat Salads During Shelf Life and Home Refrigeration

The market of ready-to-eat salads is experiencing a noticeable growth in Europe. Since they are intended to be consumed without additional treatments, these ready-to-eat products are associated with a high microbiological risk. The aim of this work was to evaluate the microbiological quality and safety of ready-to-eat salads sold in widespread supermarket chains in Lazio, Italy, at the packaging date, during shelf-life and during home-refrigeration. The study also aimed to determine the differences between low, medium, and high cost products. Salmonella spp. , L. monocytogenes were chosen as safety indicators as specified by European regulations while total aerobic mesophilic bacteria and Escherichia coli were chosen as quality indicators as suggested by national guidelines. Analyses were performed following the ISO standards and in parallel, for the evaluation of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, with an alternative colorimetric system, the Micro Biological Survey method, in order to propose a simple, affordable and accurate alternative for testing the microbiological quality of products, especially suitable for small and medium enterprises and on-site analyses. The study revealed high, unsatisfactory, total bacterial loads in all analyzed samples at the packaging date and expiring date and a very high prevalence of Salmonella spp. (67%) regardless of the selected varieties and cost-categories; L. monocytogenes was instead not recovered aligning with the results obtained in other studies.
Novel Probiotic Adjunct Cultures for the Production of Fruit-Flavoured Drinkable Yoghurt

Nowadays, there is a good demand for fruit drinkable yoghurt containing probiotics. Yoghurt is more nutritious than many other fermented milk products because it contains a high level of milk solids in addition to nutrients developed during the fermentation process. The aim of the present study was to produce fruit-flavoured drinkable yoghurt by using new isolates of Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus plantarum as probiotic strains and in the enrichment with fruit juices (red grape or apricot), Furthermore, evaluation of physico-chemical, rheological, microbiological, sensorial properties and antioxidant activity of fruit-flavoured drinkable yoghurt during storage. The addition of probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium sp. to yoghurt improves its functionality and health effects. In this study fruit-flavoured drinkable yoghurt containing two ratios of red grape and apricot juices (7.5% and 10%) and 7.5% sugar were produced by using novel isolates of Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus Plantarum. Chemical, microbiological, and sensorial properties, beside nutritional characteristics of drinkable yoghurt were improved by adding 10% red grape or apricot juice and 1.5% probiotic bacteria (Bifido. breve and Lb. plantarum) and enriched with 1% oat.

Magnesium Doped Hydroxyapatite-Based Coatings Obtained by Pulsed Galvanostatic Electrochemical Deposition with Adjustable Electrochemical Behavior

The aim of this study was to adapt the electrochemical behavior in synthetic body fluid (SBF) of hydroxyapatite-based coatings obtained by pulsed galvanostatic electrochemical deposition through addition of Mg in different concentrations. The coatings were obtained by electrochemical deposition in a typical three electrodes electrochemical cell in galvanic pulsed mode. The electrolyte was obtained by subsequently dissolving Ca(NO3)2·4H2O, NH4H2PO4, and Mg(NO3)2·6H2O in ultra-pure water and the pH value was set to 5. The morphology consists of elongated and thin ribbon-like crystals for hydroxyapatite (HAp), which after the addition of Mg became a little wider. The elemental and phase composition evidenced that HAp was successfully doped with Mg through pulsed galvanostatic electrochemical deposition. The characteristics and properties of hydroxyapatite obtained electrochemically can be controlled by adding Mg in different concentrations, thus being able to obtain materials with different properties and characteristics. In addition, the addition of Mg can lead to the control of hydroxyapatite bioactive ceramics in terms of dissolution rate.
Assessment of knowledge and practices of urban population regarding COVID-19: a cross-sectional study in Bikaner, Rajasthan

Background: Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is declared pandemic by the WHO. It is a very contagious disease. The global mortality rate of Corona virus disease is around 3.1%. The study was conducted with aim to assess the knowledge and practices towards Corona virus disease among urban population. Awareness towards the disease is important for prevention and control.Methods: The research design was community based descriptive cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in selected urban communities of Bikaner district, Rajasthan. A structured knowledge questionnaire and Practice scale were distributed to subjects from March 2020 to April 2020. In present study, 327 subjects were included in the study by random sampling technique. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22.0. Results: In the present study, 56.27% were male and 43.73% were female. Nearly 70% participants were graduate and above in educational status. In present study, mostly subjects (76%) have average to good knowledge and practice towards COVID-19. Finding of the study suggests that there was a weak correlation between knowledge and practices of urban people towards corona virus infection. The correlation was not significant (p value=0.1976) at 0.05 level of significance. The study also revealed that knowledge has association with only educational qualification and gender shown association with practices of urban population.Conclusions: Knowledge and practices among population towards the disease are crucial to minimize morbidity and mortality due to the disease. The people have knowledge towards corona virus infection but they are not implementing it into practice.
