MEDICAL STUDENTS’ TRUST IN THEIR FAMILY PHYSICIAN

Trust is an essential part of a good physician-patient relationship and measuring it allows to improve the healthcare system. Medical students can evaluate physicians’ technical competency more profoundly than a layperson, so it is possible to evaluate a less asymmetrical interpersonal trusting relationship than the one between physician and patient. This study aimed to: (i) measure the level of medical students’ trust in their family physicians; (ii) study the differences between medical students’ characteristics and the level of trust; and (iii) measure the attitudes towards doctors of medical students and their relationship to trust in family physicians. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a convenience sample of medical students from two Portuguese public universities. Students were invited to answer a web-based questionnaire that included sociodemographic and academic variables, the Trust in Physician Scale (TIPS) and the attitudes towards doctors’ factor of the Attitudes to Doctors and Medicine Scale. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. 172 medical students responded to the questionnaire. Most were female (74.4%) and the mean age was 23.7 (SD 2.3 years). 80.8% were students from the clinical cycle. A moderate trust in family physicians was found (mean total score of TIPS was 3.7 (SD 0.7), and a positive attitude toward doctors was more frequent than the negative one. Older age, good teaching quality in family medicine, and seeking family physicians for urgent care appear to be associated with students’ higher trust in family physicians, but this needs to be studied further using larger samples.
Effects of Boron Omission and Foliar Fertilization on Nutrition Efficiency and Production of Cowpea

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of boron (B) omission on cowpea nutrition and to compare the impact of foliar B fertilization with and without sorbitol on cowpea growth, nutritional status, and B uptake. Two trials using a completely randomized experimental design were conducted. During the first experiment, nutrient solution was provided without B (−B) and with B (+B) in 10 replicates. During the second experiment, a 5 × 2 factorial treatment scheme was used. Five B concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 3.75, and 5.0 g·L−1) were administered foliarly in the form of boric acid with or without sorbitol (500 mmol·L−1) in four replicates. B omission symptoms, root growth, plant organ dry mass and B content, and grain yield were evaluated. B omission induced greater losses in reproductive organ and root growth than in leaf and stem production. It also caused deformation of the middle lamella and accumulation of starch in the chloroplasts. Foliar applications of 2.6 to 2.9 g·L−1 B improved cowpea production. The addition of sorbitol did not enhance plant growth. However, it increased B absorption in the vegetative parts of the plant but did not enhance seed production.
Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and archaic ancestries in Southern Europe

A population in a natural crossroad within Europe reveals multiple ancient contributions and substantial population structure. European populations display low genetic differentiation as the result of long-term blending of their ancient founding ancestries. However, it is unclear how the combination of ancient ancestries related to early foragers, Neolithic farmers, and Bronze Age nomadic pastoralists can explain the distribution of genetic variation across Europe. Populations in natural crossroads like the Italian peninsula are expected to recapitulate the continental diversity, but have been systematically understudied. Here, we characterize the ancestry profiles of Italian populations using a genome-wide dataset representative of modern and ancient samples from across Italy, Europe, and the rest of the world. Italian genomes capture several ancient signatures, including a non–steppe contribution derived ultimately from the Caucasus. Differences in ancestry composition, as the result of migration and admixture, have generated in Italy the largest degree of population structure detected so far in the continent, as well as shaping the amount of Neanderthal DNA in modern-day populations.
Investigation of biochemical blood parameters, characteristics for carcass, and mineral composition in chicken meat when feeding on coriander seed and rosemary leaves

Objective: Investigating the antibiotic and antioxidant benefits of medicinal herbs to enrich the serum immune responses of chicken meat. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,080 Ross 308 broilers were reared up to 42 days. The broilers were divided randomly into nine assemblies, with each sectioned into three replicates. The first and second were supplemented with 0.25% and 0.50% of coriander seeds, respectively, while the third and fourth with 0.25% and 0.50% of rosemary leaves, respectively. A mixture of herbs from the two plants were added to fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth treatments [(0.50% coriander seeds + 0.50% rosemary leaves), (0.25% coriander seeds + 0.50% rosemary leaves), (0.50% coriander seeds + 0.25% rosemary leaves), and (0.25% coriander seeds + 0.25% rosemary leaves)], respectively, whereas chicks in the ninth as a control group. Results: The resultsshowed the pH for the thigh and breast of the carcass were measured. Glycogen levels, serum immunity (H, L, Hlration, Albumin, Globulin, and A/G ratio at 28 days and alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and cholesterol at 42 days). The mineral deposits in the chicken meat were measured for Mg, Fe, Ca, Na, J, and total N. The fifth treatment had a significantly higher glycogen ratio (p < 0.05). pH measurements for the thigh and breast were done immediately, 4, 12, and 24 h after slaughter. For the thigh, the seventh treatment was highest immediately and at 12 h. For the breast, significant differences were only noted at 12 h for chickens on a coriander diet. Conclusion: It is concluded that these additives have a positive effect on some of the blood profiles, carcass characteristics, and mineral composition of chicken meat.
Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Mileewa ponta (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Mileewinae)

Abstract The mitogenome of one Mileewinae species Mileewa ponta was sequenced and annotated according to close Cicadellidae species in this study. Annotation shows the mitogenome of M. ponta is 15999 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. The A + T content in the mitogenome was 79.9%. Besides, we further constructed a Bayesian Inference phylogenetic tree among M. ponta, M. albovittata, M. margheritae and other Cicadellidae species. Each subfamily species clustered together, and M. ponta clustered with M. albovittata, M. margheritae. This mitogenome will contribute to the further systematics and evolution study of subfamily Mileewinae.
Nitrogen Source and Rate Effects on Irrigated Potato in Tropical Sandy Soils

A suitable N source and an optimal application rate can improve the N-use efficiency of potato (L.) while minimizing N losses, especially when potato is grown in sandy soils. Three experiments were conducted at irrigated sandy soil sites in Sao Paulo State, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of ammonium sulfate (AMS), ammonium sulfate nitrate with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (ASN+DMPP), and urea applied at three N rates (80, 120, and 160 kg ha), as well as a zero-N control on potato (cv. Agata). Leaf N and S concentrations, tuber yield, and agronomic efficiency (AE) were measured. The 80 kg N ha rate was applied in the furrow at planting, and the other rates were split-applied, with 40 kg N ha in the furrow at planting and the remainder applied at hilling. Regardless of the N source, the N fertilizer rates increased the potato leaf N concentration and tuber bulking of the potato crop, which in turn increased the tuber yield up to rates between 136 kg N ha and at least 160 kg N ha. Among the N sources, ASN+DMPP fertilizer resulted in a higher potato tuber set and yield than urea and led to the highest AE compared to AMS and urea. Overall, these results suggest the potential for ASN+DMPP to improve the synchronization between soil N availability and potato N demand and provide a more appropriate balance of N forms in the soil when potato is cultivated in sandy soils in a tropical climate.
Semantic Loop Closure Detection With Instance-Level Inconsistency Removal in Dynamic Industrial Scenes

A novel semantic loop closure detection (SLCD) method is proposed in this article for visual simultaneous localization and mapping systems. SLCD aims to relieve the instance-level semantic inconsistency issue that arose from dynamic industrial scenes (e.g., autonomous driving in big cities). As the first step in this direction, SLCD fully exploits both low- and high-level video frame information, in a coarse-to-fine way. In SLCD, we adopt a convolutional neural network based object detection to acquire object information from the consecutive frames. Meanwhile, we perform a bag of visual words based similarity calculation to narrow the frames to coarse loop closure candidates. For these candidates, we perform an object matching on them to find their semantic inconsistency cases and remove involved semantic inconsistencies according to their cases. Then, we recalculate the similarity scores for these candidates. Finally, loop closures are determined by the similarity scores and a geometrical verification. Favorable performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing it to other state-of-the-art methods using data from several public datasets and our new Dynamic Scenes dataset.

Playing safe games – thematic analysis of victims’ perspectives on gendered bullying in academia

Purpose High incidence of workplace bullying in Indian organizations is well-acknowledged, but less is known about the games that bullies play to create a favorable atmosphere for bullying in academic institutions. This study aims to reveal the “safe game” tactics that the bullies use to chase targets like a predator chases his prey. Design/methodology/approach The study explores various manifestations of academic bullying by analyzing the victimization experiences of women faculty in academic institutions. The data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and informal discussions to explore the victimization episodes in detail. Findings The analysis indicates a set of common manifestations framed by bullies in academia to create a favorable environment for bullying. These manifestations often play out in a sequence. Initially, the targets are overloaded with work to portray the victims as incapable and less competent. Then, the bullies lodge many formal complaints with the help of their supporters. Finally, they create an environment of silence by threatening them for their responses against bullying. Originality/value This paper is supported by previous research in this area and progresses by exploring the experiences of the victims in academics to find a common sequence in the mistreatment they suffer. The study concludes by showing unexplored areas in research on workplace bullying in the academic sector and provides a foundation for further research.
Status, distribution, and nesting ecology of Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada

Based on current knowledge of the ecology and distribution of Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina), both in eastern Canada and elsewhere, we conclude this species is native to Cape Breton Island. Seventy-two reports of Snapping Turtle from Cape Breton (1999–2017) indicate a range centred in the area south of Bras d’Or Lake. Date of oviposition ranged from 19 June to 10 July (median = 26 June) among 26 nests observed during 2012–2014. Clutch size for these nests was 23–65 eggs (mean = 46) and among 25 protected nests average rate of hatchling emergence was 21.5%. Time from oviposition to emergence of hatchlings (n = 256) was 75–120 days (mean = 87.2; SD = 9.0) among 20 nests. First emergence ranged from 9 September to 20 October (75–114 nest days; mean = 90) and last emergence ranged from 13 September to 28 October (86–120 nest days; mean = 100). Duration of emergence ranged from one day (i.e., synchronous emergence; five nests) to 37 days (mean = 11 days). The number of days on which hatchlings emerged at a nest ranged from one to nine days (mean = 4 days). Maximum carapace length was 25.0–31.8 mm (mean = 29.0 mm) and maximum carapace width was 23.5–30.0 mm (mean = 27.0 mm) for 256 hatchlings that emerged from 20 protected nests. Mass of hatchlings was 4.9–9.9 g (mean = 7.8 g).
Determination of optimal prey for rearing tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus (Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae)

Larval feeding studies of both ornamental and consumable fish species are important for formulating successful management, and culture strategies for conservation purposes. In the present study, we evaluated prey selectivity for the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus in the larval stage (first 8 weeks) using the zooplankton Artemia fransiscana, Daphnia pulex and Moina macrocopa as prey following the hypothesis that prey selection of the fish species is related not only to prey species preferences but to the difference in prey densities present in the environment. Functional responses were tested at prey densities of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 ind. mL-1 and analyzed using Manly’s α. For prey selectivity, we used the three zooplankton species at three different densities. In these two experiments the fish larvae were allowed to feed for 45 min. To quantify feeding behavior (encounters, attacks, captures, ingestions, rejections) we used a density of 1 ind. mL-1 using each prey species based on 10 minutes of direct observation. Our results showed a functional response Type II for A. tropicus preying mostly on A. franciscana and M. macrocopa. The Manly’s α index showed that M. macrocopa and A. franciscana are the most preys selected. The values for encounters for the three prey species were relatively constant during the eight weeks. Encounter values for the cladocerans were low in comparison to A. franciscana; however, high success in capture and ingestion was observed for all prey species used. Our results from the functional response experiments supports the hypothesis that A. tropicus is an active predator presenting a functional response of a carnivorous fish and the shift in prey selection suggests that even at low prey availability, A. tropicus is able to manipulate and feed on zooplankton of wide range in size. Also, according to our results, we suggest the use of a mix of A. franciscana and M. macrocopa to feed A. tropicus in culture systems in concentrations ≈ 2 ind. mL-1 during the first 3 weeks of age and then shift to M. macrocopa from the 4 week. Our results, in conjunction with studies on the survivorship of the juveniles would aid in conservation efforts and improve the production of gars in aquaculture.
Identification of an Antimicrobial Compound from Apium graveolens Seeds (Celery Seeds)

The increasing demand on new antimicrobial compounds is very important nowadays because the microbes become more resistant to the old antimicrobial compounds. Hence, this study was designed to isolate and identify antimicrobial compounds from Celery seeds (Apium graveolens). The seeds were extracted by hexane, methylene chloride and methanol (sequentially). Purification was achieved by column chromatography. 1-phenyl-1-hepten-3-ol was isolated from hexane extract and the chemical structure was identified by spectroscopic studies (IR, proton NMR and GC-MS). The hexane extract showed the highest value as antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Salmonella sp. , Staphylococcus sp. and Penicillium sp, Fusarium oxysporum, Alterneria solani, and Aspergllus niger. However, the extracts (hexane, methylene chloride and methanol) didn’t show any inhibition zone against Pseudomonas sp .
Effect of Mycorrhizal Co-Inoculation with Selected Rhizobacteria on Soil Zinc Dynamics

Maize is the 3 rd major crop in India after rice and wheat (Reddy et al., 2013) which provides food, feed, and fodder, and also serves as a source of basic raw material for numerous industrial products. Bihar has emerged as one of the most promising states for maize production in India. The average productivity of rabi maize in the state is much higher as compared to the national average. Zinc (Zn) and Phosphorus (P) are the major nutrients limiting plant growth and their bioavailability to nutrient-exhaustive plants like maize, is a International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 10 (2018) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Effects of prophylactic naps on physical fitness/exercise ability and executive function in healthy young trained males

ABSTRACT This study examined the effects of prophylactic naps on physical fitness/exercise ability and executive function. Seven healthy trained males (mean age, 21.1 ± 0.4 years) participated in four experimental conditions (counterbalanced design): 90-min sitting rest (con condition); 30-min nap (nap30 condition); 60-min nap (nap60 condition); and 90-min nap (nap90 condition). Physical fitness/exercise abilities were assessed by grip/back strength, postural control, darts task, and the Wingate test. Executive function was assessed using simple reaction time (SRT), choice reaction time (CRT), and modified flanker tasks. Changes in oxyhemoglobin levels in the prefrontal cortex during the executive function tasks were monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy. None of the nap conditions (30, 60, 90-min) showed improvement in physical fitness/exercise abilities compared with the con condition. The nap30 condition showed shorter reaction times (RTs) in the SRT and CRT tasks than the con condition. The nap60 condition showed improved RTs in only the SRT task. The nap90 condition showed improved RTs in all executive function tasks. Increased oxyhemoglobin levels in the nap30 and 90 conditions were matched with improvement of each executive function tasks, but not in the nap60 condition. In conclusion, 90-min nap augmented the improvement of executive function tasks and activating the prefrontal cortex.
Young adults and homeownership in Jakarta, Indonesia

Purpose Homeownership, especially for young adults, is a significant challenge in nearly every country and Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world, is not exempted. Its capital city, Jakarta, has the lowest homeownership rate when compared with other cities and if this challenge remains unresolved, it could lead to more social and economic issues in the country. Hence, this study aims to investigate the homeownership of young adults in Jakarta, focussing on young adults’ opinions, perceptions and experiences regarding homeownership opportunities. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from young adults in the study area. The collected data were analysed using the statistical package for the social sciences 24.0 software. Descriptive analysis, Cronbach’s alpha test, Pearson’s correlation test and mean score ranking were adopted to analyse the collected data. Findings The result shows that homeownership is driven by factors that are more functional and realistic (in terms of a place to live, marriage and parenthood) rather than those related to pride or social status representation (as a personal or career accomplishment). Unaffordability and insufficient income were ranked as crucial barriers to homeownership. Increasing the supply of affordable housing, controlling housing prices through government’s intervention and reducing mortgage interests are potential solutions to address this issue. Practical implications The result of this research would be useful to young adults who are the participants of this study, property developers, lending institutions and the government concerning homeownership policy formulation, loan provision, affordable housing supply, etc. Originality/value Specific studies that focussed on the young adults’ homeownership in Jakarta, Indonesia is limited, therefore, this research provides an insight into the issue of young adults’ homeownership in the country. Also, the findings could be applicable in other developing countries that have similar characteristics to Indonesia.
