Modeling the potential of fishery reserves for managing Pacific coral reef fishes

-The potential use of marine fishery reserves (MFRsI for cific coral reefs was assessed with an extension of the Beverton-Holt model. The effects of year-round fishery closures on harvests in adja cent. exploited areas were evaluated. Potential changes in spawning stock biomass per recruit (SSB / Rl and yield per recruit (Y / R). when vary ing fractions of exploitable reef area were closed to fishing, were esti mated from published data, approxi mated natural and fishing mortality rates, size- and maturity-at-age dis tributions, and "transfer" (emigra tion and immigration) rates. For se lect cases, fundamental transfer rates were adjusted for possible density-dependent emigration from closed areas as relative densities de creased in surrounding non-closed areas because of continued fishing. Three hypothetical "fish types" were constructed, bracketing the likely ex tremes in fundamental transfer rates and related life-history param eters of Pacific coral reef fishes: a small-bodied, fast-growing and short-lived, strongly philopatric spe cies of damselfish was contrasted with a large-bodied, relatively slow growing. long-lived, vagile species of jack. A "surgeonfish" type was used to represent intermediate parameter values.Simulations corroborate MFRs contribute little. if anything, towards increas ing YIR. Results for the highly vagile jack confirm transfer rates will negate potential gains in SSB / R resulting from closures. At the opposite extreme. small reef philopatriots like damselfishes would harvested, transfer rates. the opened to ing. Results further sug gest that growth rate. fishing effort in the non-closed (open) area, natu ral mortality, and maturity and har vesting schedules importantly influ ence the potential of MFRs to augment SSB when transfer rates are low to moderate.

Since eating disorders are a common health burden, new approaches for the treatment of obesity or anorexia nervosa are needed to modulate food intake and body weight. One of the most promising and interesting recent approaches is the application of deep brain stimulation (DBS) (1). Originally , DBS was used in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases (2) resulting in a substantial improvement of well-being in patients with Parkinson’ s disease (3). Especially the subthalamic nucleus is an interesting tar get for DBS in the treatment of Parkinson’ s disease resulting in an improvement of motor symptoms (4) and gait function (5). DBS is considered a potentially reversible method that influences the neuronal network and is currently also tested in the treatment of patients with Tourette’ s syndrome (6, 7), epilepsy (8, 9), depression (10, 1 1) or eating disorders (12-14). Animal studies have shown an increased food intake in normal weight rats following DBS of the medial nucleus accumbens shell (NAcc shell) (15) and a decrease in food intake in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats (16). These findings although contradictory might be promising for the prospective application of DBS for both, stimulation or inhibition in obesity or anorexia n rvosa, respectively . The mechanisms by which DBS influences the neuronal network are far from being understood. However , recent years have witnessed an increasing understanding of these mechanisms (17) encompassing a modulation of transmitter release such as dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (16, 17) but also an alteration of neurogenesis (17, 18). The NAcc is divided into core and shell and is along with the ventral tegmental area (VT A), hypothalamic nuclei, amygdala, hippocampus and dif ferent areas of the cortex (the orbitofrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) part of the reward circuitry (19). Peripheral metabolic signals like leptin, insulin or ghrelin do not only affect the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus but also the VTA to regulate food intake (20). The medial NAcc shell receives dopaminer gic input from the VTA, a pathway modulated by well-known food intake-regulatory hormones JOURNALOF PHYSIOLOGYAND PHARMACOLOGY 2017, 68, 3, 345-354
A Study of Occupational Aspiration Level of Higher Secondary School students of Aizawl District in relation to Parental Education and Gender

This study tested the occupational aspiration levels of higher secondary school students. Occupational aspiration uttered career related choice, preference of ideal jobs or career goals. Home environment and parental guidance and monitoring plays a significant role in the children education and career ambition. The present study tries to find out the impact of parents education on the higher secondary school children aspiration levels, and the possible influence of variation in their locality and gender on occupational aspiration. The study was conducted to 340 higher secondary school students of 145 male and 195 female. For the investigation the researcher administered standardized tool of occupational aspiration prepared by Dr. J. S.Gerwal. The study reveals that most of the respondents (71.17%) have average occupational aspiration, and there is evidence that parental education has positive influence on the youth career preference. The study also exhibits the variations in the locality of the respondents; students from urban area have slightly higher occupational aspiration as compared to their counterparts with students from rural area. However, the study concluded that there is no significance difference on the basis of the respondent‟s gender.
Perception of students towards cadaveric dissection in a tertiary care teaching institution

Background: Anatomy is widely acknowledged as being among the most significant element of medical education and the study of anatomy through the dissected cadaver is observed as the essential feature of medical courses. Anatomy teaching has certainly the longest history of any component of formalised medical education. While the history of dissection has been well studied, less attention has been paid to the use of the living body involved in anatomy teaching. Dissection has thus been imbibed into medical education such that it has become almost indispensable part of medical courses. Methods: A total of hundred newly admitted first year medical students’ reaction to the first day entry into the dissection hall and towards cadaveric dissection was assessed by using a set of questions. The questionnaire was given to the students just a few weeks after they began attending their dissection class. Results: Most of the students reported of bad odor of the cadaver (84%) and watering of eyes (79%) on their first day entry into the dissection hall. 94% of the students were determined, interested, and ready to study anatomy with cadaveric dissection. Majority of the students considered dissection as the best tool to study anatomy.100% of the students have showed a sense of gratitude to the people and/or the relatives who had donated their bodies. Conclusions: Cadaveric dissection is an indispensable teaching tool to study gross anatomy, and undergraduate curriculum should incorporate dissection as majority of the students are interested and determined to study anatomy with cadaveric dissection.
Reasonable Doubt: Experimental Detection of Job-Level Employment Discrimination

This paper develops methods for detecting discrimination by individual employers using correspondence experiments that send fictitious resumes to real job openings. We establish identification of higher moments of the distribution of job‐level callback rates as a function of the number of resumes sent to each job and propose shape‐constrained estimators of these moments. Applying our methods to three experimental data sets, we find striking job‐level heterogeneity in the extent to which callback probabilities differ by race or sex. Estimates of higher moments reveal that while most jobs barely discriminate, a few discriminate heavily. These moment estimates are then used to bound the share of jobs that discriminate and the posterior probability that each individual job is engaged in discrimination. In a recent experiment manipulating racially distinctive names, we find that at least 85% of jobs that contact both of two white applications and neither of two black applications are engaged in discrimination. To assess the potential value of our methods for regulators, we consider the accuracy of decision rules for investigating suspicious callback behavior in various experimental designs under a simple two‐type model that rationalizes the experimental data. Though we estimate that only 17% of employers discriminate on the basis of race, we find that an experiment sending 10 applications to each job would enable detection of 7–10% of discriminatory jobs while yielding Type I error rates below 0.2%. A minimax decision rule acknowledging partial identification of the distribution of callback rates yields only slightly fewer investigations than a Bayes decision rule based on the two‐type model. These findings suggest illegal labor market discrimination can be reliably monitored with relatively small modifications to existing correspondence designs.

Submitted: 17-01-2020 Revised: 07-02-2020 Published: 01-03-2020 Address for Correspondence: Dr. Kowsalya R, Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Institute of Nephrourology, Victoria Hospital Campus, Bangalore. Phone: +91-9008172078. E-mail: r.kowsalya@gmail.com © Copyright AJMS Background: Serum ferritin levels reflecting the body iron stores, is known to be elevated in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However its association with diabetic complications including Diabetic nephropathy (DN), and overall glycemic control needs to be validated. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to find the Serum Ferritin level abnormalities in DM patients with nephropathy in comparison with DM patients without nephropathy and to find correlation of Serum Ferritin (SF) levels with levels of Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study, which included eighty five registered patients with Type 2 DM (44 Type II DM without nephropathy cases and 41 cases of Type II DM with nephropathy). SF and HbA1c was estimated in all cases across both the groups and were compared with age and sex matched controls and analysed. Results: Serum Ferritin levels were higher in diabetics with nephropathy compared to diabetics without nephropathy (p<0.0001). SF levels were higher in diabetic groups compared to control group (p <0.001). The correlation between HbA1c and SF was assessed among all cases of DM with nephropathy group using pearson correlation test and it showed a significantly positive correlation (r=0.431) with a SF (mean=938±148) and HbA1c (mean=9.2±2.02). Conclusion: Serum ferritin levels positively correlate with HbA1c levels in Type II DM cases with nephropathy, which suggests that serum Ferritin levels can be used as a surrogate marker of glycemic control in Type II DM with nephropathy.

Assessment of the Performance of Pre-Cooling Unit under Control Atmosphere Storage

Pre-cooling is a process of removing field heat from freshly harvested fruits or vegetables in a sufficient time to prevent spoilage and maintenance of pre-harvest freshness and flavor. Usually most produce is pre-cooled just before loading for transport to market or before short or long term storage. In this research a pre-cooling unit was used to analyze the behavior of cucumber in terms of temperature ratio by using forced air-cooling technique. The air is forced through produce i.e. cucumber packed in boxes / pallet bins. The performance of the pre-cooling system in terms of the temperature ratio, cooling rates and half cooling times of cucumber were evaluated for forced-air cooling technique accordingly. From the obtained results of different statistical parameters i.e. the average temperature ratio (TR ), cooling rate (CR) and mean half cooling time (Z) avg values are found to be 0.415, 0.228°C/time and 68.81 minutes respectively. Thus, thorough the results it is clear that the total cooling time duration for the cucumber pre-cooling should to be (68.81*2) i.e. 137.62 minutes respectively to get the desired temperature before dispatch. The temperature beyond this time duration seems to be un-economical and wasteful practice. For the calculation of temperature ratio (TR) through the pre-cooling unit the exponential curve for TR values must be used to obtained the actual temperature ratio. The empirical equation developed for calculating TR values can be used. As the produce study was cucumber; therefore this empirical equation is valid only for cucumbers while the results may vary for other types of produce.
A comparative study of effect of epidermal growth factor on chronic leg ulcers with anti-septic dressing

Background: Chronic wounds, particularly non-healing wounds, are one of the most prevalent surgical disorders that a surgeon may see. The characteristic of a chronic wound is that it does not heal despite daily dressings and costly local treatments. Aims of the study to investigate the healing effects of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) on non-healing ulcers and to assess the effectiveness, acceptability, and safety of a new epidermal growth factor (EGF) wound dressing.Methods: On 60 patients with chronic non-healing ulcers, a randomized, prospective, and comparative research was conducted in the department of general surgery, SVS medical college and hospital, Mahbubnagar. These 60 patients were separated into two groups, each with fifteen patients. The EGF was applied to group A, whereas normal saline was given to group B.Results: The 60 patients who agreed to participate in the trial were separated into two groups (30 each) that were equal and comparable. Patients who received topical EGF 0.01% gel dressings were assigned to the trial, whereas those who received standard antiseptic wound dressing were assigned to the control group. Six of the fifteen patients in the test group were men, whereas eleven were males and four were females in the control group. When the two groups were compared, the test group had a substantial reduction in ulcer area compared to the control group (p<0.001)Conclusions: EGF is a superior alternative for treating chronic non-healing ulcers because of its cost effectiveness, availability, reduced hospital stay, and simplicity of administration.
COMBINED EFFECTS OF CITRIC ACID AND 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID IN MITIGATING CHROMIUM TOXICITY IN SUNFLOWER (Helianthus annuus L.) GROWN IN Cr SPIKED SOIL

Chromium is a non-essential and potentially dangerous heavy metal without any metabolic functions in plants (Hussain et al., 2018a). Chromium has been characterized as a potentially toxic metal for plants with significant concentration present in earth crust (Economou-Eliopoulos et al., 2013). International Agency for Research on cancer reportedly placed Cr as number one carcinogenic heavy metal (IARC, 1987). There are many states of Cr range from -2 to +6, but maximum constant and ordinary states of Cr found in biosphere are trivalent (Cr) and hexavalent chromium (Cr ) (Ashraf et al., 2016). These trivalent and hexavalent states of Cr show different behavior according to their assimilation in soil, translocation, bioavailability as well as absorption in above ground biomass and toxicity in the plant (Choppala et al., 2018). Minute quantity of Cr (III) is essential for sugar and lipid metabolisms in animals and humans, but nonessential for the plants (Shanker et al., 2005). Many studies have described the Cr toxicity on biochemical and morpho-physiological processes of plants (Jabeen et al., 2016; Hussain et al., 2018a). Chromium toxicity badly influences plant agronomic growth, physiology, proteomics and miRNA expression (Afshan et al., 2015; Ali et al., 2015). Many soil and plant relevant factors effect transfer of Cr from soil to plant tissues like; plant types, root surface area, gas exchange attributes, soil texture, soil electrical conductivity (EC) and pH (Islam et al., 2016). Plants having least tendency of metal hyper-accumulation tend to accrue more metals in their roots than aerial parts (Rehman et al., 2016). A variety of Cr-hyperaccumulators have been reported in literature like, Brassica napus L (Gill et al., 2015a, b), sunflower (Fozia et al., 2008; Rizwan et al., 2016b; Farid et al., 2017), rice (Mantry and Patra, 2017), spleen amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) atlantic cord grass (Spartina argentinensis) and many others. Among different hyperaccumulator plants, sunflower has the properties to grow easily under the contamination of metals (Tassi et al., 2017). Sunflower can accumulate different heavy metals Pak. J. Agri. Sci., Vol. 57(X), 477-488; 2020 ISSN (Print) 0552-9034, ISSN (Online) 2076-0906 DOI: 10.21162/PAKJAS/20.9332 http://www.pakjas. com.pk
COMPARISON OF HIGH-SPEED ROLLER AND SAW GINNING ON TEXAS HIGH PLAINS COTTON

New high-quality cotton cultivars have been adopted in the Southern High Plains recently and, as a result, interest has grown in finding harvest and ginning practices that better preserve fiber quality. Advancements in roller ginning technology have increased the ginning rate of some roller gins to that of saw gins. Thus, there is renewed interest in roller ginning for upland cotton. The objective of this work was to compare fiber quality and turnout of upland cotton produced in the Southern High Plains, harvested using a spindle picker or a brush-roll stripper, and ginned using saw or high-speed roller ginning (HSRG) systems. The findings of this work indicate that the HSRG substantially improved the length characteristics of the upland cultivar used regardless of harvest method. Turnout was higher for the HSRG cotton and for picker harvested cotton. Nep content was reduced for picker harvested cotton and HSRG cotton. Loan value for HSRG cotton was reduced slightly compared to the saw ginned cotton due to reduced fiber reflectance values. The fiber length distribution and nep content improvements afforded by the HSRG make this fiber more attractive to ring spinning mills which produce high count yarns for high value products.
Comparative study of Episiotomy Repair: Absorbable Synthetic Versus Chromic Catgut Suture material

Background: The choice of suture material for repair of episiotomy or perineal laceration is largely of one’s personal preference. Chromic catgut was widely used in most institutions. It now appears that chromic catgut is associated with more postpartum discomfort and hence chromic catgut has been largely replaced by synthetic absorbable materials like polyglactin and polyglycolic acid. Methods: The study was conducted in Institute of Social Obstetrics and Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital, Chennai. This is a prospective, comparative study involving two groups. The use of a rapidly absorbing form of synthetic absorbable suture material, in the repair of episiotomy or perineal laceration in 100 patients during the study period February 2012 to July 2012, were simultaneously compared with the traditional natural absorbable suture material. Results: With the use of rapidly absorbing polyglactin 910, there was a significant reduction (p=0.000) in the short-term pain, 19 compared to 80 in the control group. With regard to wound dehiscence and the need for resuturing, there was statistically significant difference in the control group (15%) compared to the study group (0%). There was no statistical significance between the two groups in terms of dyspareunia (12.4% vs 10.7%). Conclusions: Fast-absorbing form of Polyglactin seems to be effective in reducing some of the morbidity associated with perineal repair following childbirth. There was significant reduction in the short-term pain and the need for analgesia. The incidence of wound dehiscence was markedly reduced.
APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN: SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS, LABORATORY AND HISTOPATHOLOGY FINDINGS IN 67 PATIENTS

Acute abdominal pain is a reason for hospital admission of about 20% of children. Typical clinical presentation of appendicitis may be significantly different in children. Diagnosis is based on the combination of symptoms, clinical signs, and results of laboratory and radiology examinations. The objective of the present study was to analyze symptoms, signs, laboratory and histopathology findings in children who underwent surgery for acute appendicitis. Sixty-seven patients (37 males and 30 females) with mean age of 9.77 years, operated on for clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis were enrolled in the study. Abdominal pain was present in all patients, followed by vomitus and fever. Laboratory markers of inflammation varied significantly with severity of inflammation, but were normal in chronic appendicitis. Clinical and histopathology assessments of inflammation were concordant in 22 – 43% depending of the degree of appendicitis. Perforation occurred in 26.86% and negative appendectomy rate was 6%.
