The researcher relied on descriptive analytical method to analyze and classify the data to achieve the objectives of the study and to identify the variables of the study. A total of (270) questionnaires are sent out to the top and middle management of Jordanian telecom companies in Amman (Zain, Orange, Umniah), 9 questionnaires are excluded, as they were not valid for statistical analysis. The number of questionnaires analyzed are 261 (96.7%). The results showed that there was an impact of the dimensions (Jobs analysis and description, Selection and recruitment, Training, Performance appraisal) on Job Engagement and Psychological Capital. Also, the results indicate an impact of Psychological Capital on Job Engagement and there is a partial impact of the Psychological Capital, that is, there is an impact of Human Resources Management Practices through the moderator variable (Psychological Capital). © 2020 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada
Determination of aluminum and zinc in infant formulas and infant foods

Abstract Seven different infant formulas and 18 different types of infant foods representative of infant diets in Italy were analyzed to gain further information about the composition of infant diets, with particular reference to Al and Zn intake. After a microwave mineralization pretreatment, Al concentrations in the digested solutions were determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry and Zn concentrations by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Soy-based infant formulas have markedly higher Al values (7 and 7.8 μg/g) than milk-based formulas (3–3.5 μg/g), while even higher values are found in formulas based on hydrolyzed protein (13 and 17 μg/g). Values for Zn vary much more, and in only 1 sample was the Zn content (13 μg/g) below that stipulated under EEC norms. In infant foods the Al and Zn contents vary widely from sample to sample, depending on their different compositions. Of the beverages, those based on tea have the highest Al content.
Epidemiology of injuries among U18, U19, U21 and senior elite netball players

Background Despite a substantial body of literature on injuries among elite netball players in South Africa, no study reports on the timing and type of injuries and the reason for injuries. Objective To determine the epidemiology of injuries in U18, U19, U21 and senior netball players in the Free State (FS), South Africa, over two consecutive netball seasons (2017/2018). Methods An injury questionnaire was used to collect data on 96 eligible players. Results A total of 48 injuries were reported. The profile of injuries revealed that 58% (n=28) of the injuries occurred during matches, 29% (n=14) during practice and 13% (n=6) during preseason training. Acute injuries accounted for 54% (n=26) of the total, while 46% (n=22) were overuse injuries. A third of all the injuries were re-injuries. The centre (C) position had the highest incidence of injuries in players (n=14; 29%). The ankle was the most frequently injured body part (n=18; 36%), followed by the lower leg and Achilles tendon (n=6; 13%) thus largely the ligaments and muscles. The overall incidence rate of injuries during match play was 33.9 injuries per 1 000 hours of match play. Conclusion Preventative strategies should consist of ankle and lower leg strengthening and neuromuscular balance techniques. The focus should be on correct landing techniques, results of abrupt change of direction movements and short bursts of speed.
Static Analysis of Shape in TensorFlow Programs (Artifact)

Machine learning has been widely adopted in diverse science and engineering domains, aided by reusable libraries and quick development patterns. The TensorFlow library is probably the best-known representative of this trend and most users employ the Python API to its powerful back-end. TensorFlow programs are susceptible to several systematic errors, especially in the dynamic typing setting of Python. We present Pythia, a static analysis that tracks the shapes of tensors across Python library calls and warns of several possible mismatches. The key technical aspects are a close modeling of library semantics with respect to tensor shape, and an identiﬁcation of violations and error-prone patterns. Pythia is powerful enough to statically detect (with 84.62% precision) 11 of the 14 shape-related TensorFlow bugs in the recent Zhang et al. empirical study – an independent slice of real-world bugs.
The Menstruation and Ovulation of Macacus rhesus, with Observations on the Changes Undergone by the Discharged Follicle. Part II

The greater part of the material wherewith the work detailed in this paper was done, was obtained during my stay in Calcutta during the early part of 1891, and I am greatly indebted to the Committee of Management of the Calcutta Zoological Gardens, and especially to Professor D. D. Cunningham, F. R. S. , both for assistance in getting the animals required and for facilities placed at my disposal for carrying on my work in that country. Two hundred female Macacus rhesus were gent to me from Muttra and thirty from Benares. A very large proportion of these either had embryos in an advanced stage of development in utero, or had recently borne young; of the remainder many had not yet reached the age of puberty, and when all doubtful cases were excluded, seventeen specimens alone remained which could be used for the purpose of investigating the phenomena of menstruation. Five of these were referable to Stage 1, the resting or intermenstrual stage, and the other twelve to various stages of the menstrual cycle.
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs8176070) of lncRNA PART1 may reflect the risk for knee osteoarthritis.

An original article titled “Clinical significance of Matrilin-3 gene polymorphism in Egyptian patients with primary knee osteoarthritis” was published in your journal by Diab et al. (1) in 2017 as a potential follow-up study published elsewhere previously by Gu et al. (2). Both studies indicated that a specific single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs8176070) presenting as Matrilin-3 (MATN3) SNP6 was associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and may reflect the risk and severity of knee OA. However, SNP6 of MATN3 was first identified by Stefánsson et al. (3) through a genome wide scan for hand OA. Two other studies described a similar relationship between the SNP6 of MATN3 and hand OA, but they were unable to relate it to knee OA (4, 5).
Experimental Background to the Study of the Distribution and Abundance of Insects: I. The Influence of Temperature, Moisture and Food on the Innate Capacity for Increase of Three Grain Beetles

It is well known that in nature many species of insects vary in numbers from place to place at any one time, and in any one place their numbers fluctuate with the seasons. They tend to increase in numbers in favourable places or if we consider their numbers in one place they tend to increase during favourable seasons and to decrease during unfavourable seasons. Distribution from place to place and abundance at different times are two aspects of the one fundamental problem. Other things being equal species which can increase in numbers rapidly during the favourable periods will be more abundant than those which increase in numbers slowly. Thompson (1939) was aware of this and he pointed out that "the complex of factors which actually affect control in the case of any one species differs in composition from point to point and year to year in the area of distribution. " Davidson and Andrewartha (1948) were able to identify the major factors determining numbers of Thrips imaginis in South Australia as they fluctuated from season to season. In any one year the number reached was a race against time, depending chiefly upon the extent of the favourable season. On the average the physical environment remained favourable for too short a period for the insects to increase to a point where competition became important. The complex of factors causing fluctuations in this and other natural populations can only be discovered by the ecologist who is prepared to study the natural popula-
Pedotransfer functions for estimating plant available water and bulk density in Swedish agricultural soils

Abstract Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) to estimate plant available water were developed from a database of arable soils in Sweden. The PTFs were developed to fulfil the minimum requirements of any agro-hydrological application, i.e., soil water content at wilting point (θ wp ) and field capacity (θ fc ), from information that frequently is available from soil surveys such as texture and soil organic carbon content (SOC). From the same variables we also estimated bulk density (ρ) and porosity (ϵ), which seldom are included in surveys, but are needed for calculating element mass balances. The seven particle-size classes given in the data set were aggregated in different ways to match information commonly gained from surveys. Analysis of covariance and stepwise multiple linear regression were used for quantifying the influence of depth, particle size class, textural class and soil organic carbon on the characteristic variables. PTFs developed from other data sets were also tested and their goodness-of-fit and bias was evaluated. These functions and those developed for the Swedish database were also tested on an independent data set and finally ranked according to their goodness of fit. Among single independent variables, clay was the best predictor for θ wp , sand (or the sum of clay and silt) for θ fc and SOC for ρ and ϵ. A large fraction of the variation in θ wp and θ fc is explained by soil texture and SOC (up to 90%) and root mean square errors (RMSEs) were as small as 0.03 m3 water m−3 soil in the best models. For the prediction of ρ and ϵ in the test data set, the best PTF could only explain 40–43% of the total variance with corresponding RMSEs of 0.14 g cm−3 and 5.3% by volume, respectively. Recently presented PTFs derived from a North American database performed very well for estimating θ wp (low error and bias) and could be recommended for Swedish soils if measurements of clay, sand and SOC were available. Although somewhat less accurately, also θ fc could be estimated satisfactorily. This indicates that the determination of plant available water by texture and SOC is rather independent of soil genesis and that certain PTFs are transferable between continents.
Steroid-responsive severe encephalopathy in SARS-CoV-2 infection

SARS-CoV-2 infection has the potential for targeting central nervous system and several neurological symptoms have been described in patients with severe respiratory distress. Here we described the case of an otherwise healthy 60-year old subject with SARS-CoV-2 infection but only mild respiratory abnormalities who developed severe progressive encephalopathy associated with mild pleocytosis and hyperproteinorrachia. MRI was negative whereas EEG showed theta waves on the anterior brain regions. Serum and CSF analyses excluded other known infectious or autoimmune disorders. The patient dramatically improved after high-doses steroid treatment suggesting an inflammatory-mediated brain involvement related to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Laboratory studies on the development, survival, mating behaviour and reproductive capacity of the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Lep., Galleriidae)

Development of the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton), from first instar larvae to adults in a whole wheat flour medium, took 40.9 and 43.5 days for males and females, respectively. Adult longevity was 9.1 and 7.0 days for mated and virgin males; 8.3 and 8.0 days for mated and virgin females, respectively. Virgin females laid more eggs than mated ones and as the number of moths per cage increases, the number of eggs decrases.
The effect of season on the microbiological status of raw milk

Many factors can influence the microbiological quality of raw cow’s milk. In this study, our aim was to determine whether there was any difference between the microbiological statuses of milk produced in different seasons. Samples were collected and analysed from five dairy farms in Hajdú-Bihar County, from February to November in 2019. During our studies, total plate count (TPC), coliform count and Staphylococcus aureus count of raw cow’s milk samples were determined. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the mean TPC values detected in the milk collected in winter and autumn, but that values were significantly (P<0.05) lower than in the milk samples collected in spring and summer. Similarly to the TPC, in the case of coliform bacteria the lowest mean colony count was detected in the samples collected in winter. The difference was significant (P<0.05), compared to the values observed in the samples collected in summer. S. aureus was detected in bulk milk of only two farms in excess of 1.0 log10 cfu/ml. Also in case of S. aureus, there was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the values observed in the samples collected in winter and in summer. Samples from spring and summer contained the highest amount of S. aureus. Based on the results of our studies, in the case of almost all farms the mean TPC, coliform and S. aureus counts were lower in the samples collected in winter, than in the samples collected in summer. The fact that the samples collected in winter contained the lowest amount of colonies could be attributed to the inhibition of growth of mesophilic microorganisms below 8 °C. Furthermore, the fact that we observed the highest colony counts in samples collected in summer, can be related to the heat stress of cows during the summer due to unfavorable weather conditions (high temperature and humidity).
A seasonal energy budget for zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in western Lake Erie

We constructed a balanced energy budget for zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) from the western basin of Lake Erie during the active growth and reproductive season (May-October). We measured metabolic costs (oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion), body mass change, and feces production weekly and marked mussels to quantify shell growth. Costs of reproduction were measured by inducing spawning four times using serotonin and collecting gametes. After conversion to calories, all energy budget components were combined with published length-frequency distributions and mussel densities to estimate population consumption. We estimated that individual zebra mussel consumption averaged 3.16 cal ·day-1 (1 cal = 4.1868 J). Metabolic costs account for >90% of energy consumption. Mussels 15 mm allocated energy to reproduction in lieu of somatic growth. Our estimates of population consumption were sensitive to mussel size distribution, with the most abundant size-clas.
Safety of Recombinant Influenza Vaccine Compared to Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Adults: An Observational Study

Abstract Background Recombinant trivalent influenza vaccine (RIV3) was initially licensed in 2013 and approved for all adults ≥18 in 2014. This study evaluated the safety of RIV3 compared with trivalent standard-dose, inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) in Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). Methods This Phase 4 observational, postmarketing safety study included persons ≥18 years vaccinated with RIV3 or IIV3 in KPNC during the 2015–2016 influenza season. We compared (1) the rates of prespecified diagnoses of interest (Guillain-Barré Syndrome, pericarditis, pleural effusion, narcolepsy/cataplexy, asthma, acute hypersensitivity reactions, and fever) during various postvaccination risk intervals as well as (2) all-cause hospitalization and mortality 0–180 days after vaccination. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, month of vaccination, and concomitant receipt of other vaccinations. Results Comparing the 21 976 persons who received RIV3 with the 283 683 who received IIV3, there were statistically significant differences in the prespecified diagnoses of interest between the 2 groups. Specifically, RIV3 vaccination was associated with fewer fever diagnoses during the 0–41 days postvaccination (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.14–0.86). Also, RIV3 was associated with fewer all-cause hospitalizations during the 0–180 days postvaccination (OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.61–0.73), which was mostly related to pregnancy-related hospitalizations in IIV3 recipients. There were no serious adverse events or deaths related to RIV3. Conclusions This study did not identify any safety concerns regarding the use of RIV3 in adults.
Prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts among children with acute gastroenteritis in Zaria, Nigeria

This research was conducted to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts among children with acute gastroenteritis in Zaria, Nigeria by Kinyoun Modified Carbol-Fuchsin Staining (Modified Ziehl-Neelsen Staining) Technique. The results for the screening of Cryptosporidium oocysts showed that out of 372 stool samples investigated, 17 samples were positive for the oocysts. Among 17 positive samples, 8 were among 199 male while 9 were among 173 female children studied. The statistical association between microscopic detection of oocyst and gender was not significant (χ 2 = 0.297, df = 1, p=0.586). However, there was no statistically significant association between the prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocyst and the age of children observed (χ 2 = 7.268, df = 9, p = 0.609). The results also showed no significant association between the prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts and the house hold animals (χ 2 = 1.489, df = 4, p=0.829). There was also no statistically significant association between the prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts and the source of drinking water (χ 2 = 6.367, df = 4, p=0.173). Similarly, there was not statistically significant association between the prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts and the type of toilet among the study population (χ 2 = 1.128, df = 2, p=0.569).

USE OF ENTEROCIN M SUBSTANCE APPLIED IN DRINKING WATER AND NATURAL ZEOLITE AS DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS FOR GROWING RABBITS

A total number of 72 post-weaned rabbits (aged 35 days, meat line M91 a P91 hybrid rabbits), reared in an intensive breeding in the Slovak Republic, were used in the experiment. The rabbits were randomly divided into 3 similar groups, 24 animals in each group (control -EG1, experimental groups – EG2 and EG3) and kept in standard metal cages, two animals per cage. This study investigated the effects of different feeding on growth performance, chemical composition, fatty acid profile and content of essential amino acids of the Musculus longissimus thoracis and lumborum of growing rabbits. This in vivo study was designed to reveal whether the antimicrobial effect of Enterocin M (produced by non-rabbit origin strain Enteroccocus faecium AL41-CCM8558), is able to influence the meat quality of rabbits. Every day at the same time in the morning the rabbits in EG 2 received 50 μl dose of Ent M per animal per day, administered into their drinking water. The rabbits of experimental group (EG3) had commercial diet enriched with the supplement of 1 % natural zeolite (a product of ZEOCEM Company, Bystre, Slovakia) and the drinking water did not contain any coccidiostatic drugs during the experiment. The experiment was lasted for 42 days. The fat of rabbits in the 2EG had a higher (P ˂ 0.05) concentration of n-3 and n-6, MUFA, while the ratio of SFA in the control was lower (32.92 %) than in 2EG and 3EG reared rabbits (34.61 % vs. 34.71 %). Feeding of natural substances to rabbits did not influence biochemical and zootechnical parameters and it had no negative effect on growth performance in rabbits. It had positive effect on health status and it reduced the number of Eimeria spp. Oocysts were not detected in rabbits' intestinal tract.
Android and iPhone Mobile Apps for Psychosocial Wellness and Stress Management: Systematic Search in App Stores and Literature Review

Background In an oversaturated market of publicly available mobile apps for psychosocial self-care and stress management, health care providers, patients, and consumers interested in mental health–related apps may wonder which, if any, are efficacious. Readily available metrics for consumers include user popularity and media buzz rather than scientific evidence. Objective This systematic review aimed to (1) examine the breadth of therapeutic contents and features of psychosocial wellness and stress management apps available to self-help seekers for public download and (2) determine which of these apps have original research support. Methods First, we conducted a systematic review of publicly available apps on the iPhone App Store (Apple Inc) and Android Google Play (Google LLC) platforms using conventional self-help-seeking search terms related to wellness and stress. The results were limited to English-language apps available for free download. In total, 2 reviewers independently evaluated all apps and discussed the findings to reach 100% consensus regarding inclusion. Second, a literature review was conducted on the included apps to identify supporting studies with original data collection. Results We screened 3287 apps and found 1009 psychosocial wellness and stress management apps. Content varied widely. The most common evidence-based strategy was mindfulness-meditation, followed by positive psychology and goal setting. Most apps were intended to be used as self-help interventions, with only 1.09% (11/1009) involving an electronic therapist and 1.88% (19/1009) designed as a supplement to in-person psychotherapy. Only 4.66% (47/1009) of apps targeted individuals with psychological disorders, and less than 1% of apps (6/1009, 0.59%) targeted individuals with other chronic illnesses. Approximately 2% (21/1009, 2.08%) were supported by original research publications, with a total of 25 efficacy studies and 10 feasibility studies. The Headspace mindfulness app had the most evidence, including 8 efficacy studies. Most other scientifically backed apps were supported by a single feasibility or efficacy study. Conclusions Only 2.08% (21/1009) of publicly available psychosocial wellness and stress management mobile apps discoverable to self-help seekers have published, peer-reviewed evidence of feasibility and/or efficacy. Clinicians and investigators may use these findings to help patients and families navigate the volume of emerging digital health interventions for stress management and wellness.
The diversity and status of amphibians and reptiles in the Kyoga Lake Basin

The research study was carried out between 1999 and March 2001 covering nine study sites, eight of which are satellite lakes of Lake Kyoga and the ninth is a bay on the main lake. Sampling took place during both the rainy and wet seasons. However, the resident time of each visit usually lasted a day or two, which definitely could affect the quality and quantity of the data collected. This was the first time the herpetofauna of the Kyoga Lake Basin was documented. A total of 18 amphibian species were recorded in the whole of the Kyoga Lake Basin. Lakes Nawampasa, Nakuwa and Iyingo on the main lake showed the highest species diversity (12, 13, and 12, respectively) followed by Kawi (10 spp.) and Agu (nine spp.). Lakes Bisina (six spp.) and Nyaguo (five spp.) were species poor. Reptilian diversity was poor with L. Nakuwa being the most species rich site (six spp.). The Nile crocodile was reported in Iyingo, Nakuwa and Bisina only. However, the Nile monitor lizard was recorded in all the lakes sampled.
