Addressing Vegetarians’ Pessimistic Beliefs Towards Plant Oils to Override Consumer Behaviour - Theory of Planned Behaviour

: Lipids are an essential part of the human diet affecting biological processes and reducing disease development. Plant-based oils, specifically sterols, are essential compounds for cellular composition and proliferation. As vegetarians refrain from consuming animal products, although many versions of this lifestyle exist, plant oils are their only source of fat intake. Extracted plant oils are an essential source of fats and fatty acids; hence this study aims to address vegetarians knowledge and pessimistic perceptions of fats and plant oils to understand the vegetarian consumer choice through the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Despite extensive research on the vegetarian lifestyle, a pessimistic approach to understanding consumer choice in plant-based oils has been less than satisfactory. A qualitative research design was selected to conduct one-to-one in-depth interviews with seventeen vegetarian participants that met the eligibility criteria. Recruitment was based on a purposive sampling drawn from social media groups to provide an insight into the pessimistic views of vegetarians on plant-based oils. A thematic analysis was conducted using the computer-assisted software package NVivo 12 Plus. Pessimistic views and lack of knowledge on the functionality of fats and fatty acids may lead to nutrient deficiencies. The study has identified three major themes related to vegetarians pessimistic views towards plant oils: 1) pessimistic misconceptions of fats and plant-based oils, 2) pessimistic views on plant-based oil harvesting and manufacturing, and 3) plant-based oil challenges and pessimistic health claims. These conflicts are affecting the nutritional status of vegetarians by either avoiding or lessening extracted plant oils in their diet due to a lack of misinformation and uninformative nutritional labelling. The present study highlights the vegetarians’ pessimistic perceptions of extracted plant oils. It argues that vegetarians’ are more prone to nutritional deficiencies due to a lack of knowledge on the functionality of fats and fatty acids and highlights the need for informative food labelling to enable consumers to make comprehensive food choices.
STIGMA EXPERIENCED BY PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS AMONG RURAL POPULATIONS OF CENTRAL INDIA

Background : The stigma experienced by patients of schizophrenia and their caregivers have harsh emotional impact upon them and serve as a obstacle to the treatment procedure. Context : This study made an effort to measure the stigma experienced by the patients of schizophrenia and their caregivers plus the relationship of measured stigma to their socio-demographic and clinical variables. Aims : To study the stigma experienced by patients of schizophrenia and their caregivers. Settings and Design : The study design was cross-sectional analysis study. It comprised 100 patients and 100 caregivers to analyze the stigma faced by the patients of schizophrenia with their caregivers. Methods and Material : Results : Overall 42% patients reported high internalized stigma on ISMI scale. On CPMI scale, the score indicated high level of stigma. None of the demographic characteristics of patients were associated with ISMI or its subscale scores i.e. internalized self-stigma was present equally among all the patients, overall as well as on all the five subscales. Among socio-demographic variables of the caregivers, genders of the caregivers were associated with behavioral component of the CPMI scale (P < 0.05). Women caregivers had higher scores on CPMI scores as well as on behavioral component subscale (P < 0.05). Conclusions : The intensity of stigma experienced as a consequence of having mental illness is quite high. Considerable level of self-perceived stigma among caregivers of people with mental illness was observed. For that reason, there is a necessity to take specific interventions to improve overall quality of life and reduce stigma.
The Attitude of German Web Users Toward Foreign Websites for Buying Products Online

—Today, consumers tend to buy products online because of several advantages compared to shop in brick and mortar stores. One advantage of online shopping is to browse, search, and buy products from online shops all over the world. However, the attitude of online shoppers towards using foreign websites for buying products online might be influenced by factors that result from high uncertainties when using foreign websites. This paper analyses factors that might influence the attitude of web users toward foreign websites to buy products online. In this study, a survey with 60 German web users was conducted. The results were presented in a regression model and suggest that future research should focus on developing, testing and validating concepts that are influencing the attitude toward foreign websites before conducting large-scale studies.
Rationale for targeting the immune system through checkpoint molecule blockade in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer

Background: Treatments of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) — particularly of the squamous subtype — are limited. In this article, we describe the immunomodulatory environment in NSCLC and the potential for therapeutic targeting of the immune system through cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune-checkpoint pathway blockade. Materials and methods: We searched PubMed and presented abstracts for publications describing the clinical bene ﬁ t of checkpoint blockade in NSCLC. Results: Antibody-mediated checkpoint molecule blockade is being investigated in NSCLC, and of these approaches, the anti-CTLA-4 antibody ipilimumab has undergone the most extensive clinical study. By targeting the immune system rather than speci ﬁ c antigens, checkpoint blockade agents differ from vaccine therapy. In a phase II study in advanced NSCLC, phased ipilimumab with chemotherapy demonstrated the greatest ef ﬁ cacy in squamous NSCLC. A phase I study of nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, has suggested that this agent is also active against squamous and non-squamous NSCLC. Ongoing phase III studies are evaluating the therapeutic potential of these agents. Conclusions: Although treatment options for NSCLC are limited, a better understanding of the immune pro ﬁ le of this disease has facilitated the development of immunotherapeutics that target checkpoint blockade molecules, and clinical evaluation to date supports combining checkpoint blockade with chemotherapy for squamous NSCLC. evaluating regional LNs is critical. Advanced LN involvement is increasingly being treated with multimodality therapy incorporating chemotherapy and/or radiation. A single superior cisplatin-based regimen has not been de ﬁ ned. Further advances may occur with a better collaboration on an international scale and comprehensive understanding of tumor biology. To this end, the preventive role of circumcision and understanding of the oncogenic roles of Human Papilloma Virus-16, and smoking may yield advances. Preliminary data suggest a role for agents targeting epidermal growth factor receptor and angiogenesis. Conclusion: Advances in therapy for PC will require ef ﬁ cient trial designs, synergistic collaboration, incentives to industry and the efforts of patient advocacy groups and venture philanthropists.
Change in OR functions by incorporation of business model of service lines

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an educative program on knowledge and self-care ability in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Design: A quasi-experimental design. Methods: The sample was composed of 100 patients who underwent CABG surgery for the first time. The first 49 patients were assigned into the control group, followed by 51 patients into the experimental group. The experimental group received the education program at the day appointed for a surgery, the day of admission, and the 5th post operative day. The education content was the comprehensive pre- and post-operative information enhancing recovery during hospitalization and at home delivered by giving verbal information with video. Data were collected by using the pre-operative and pre-discharge knowledge questionnaires and the self-care ability questionnaire, at the 5th day and the first month post operation. Data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test for test of difference between groups. Main findings: The study revealed that the pre-operative and pre-discharge knowledge mean scores, and the mean self-care ability scores at post-operative day 5th and at 1 month of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < .001). Conclusion and recommendations: The results suggest that the comprehensive education program should deliver by giving verbal information with video at the appropriate time, before surgery, the day of admission, post-operation and before discharge. ผลของโปรแกรมการสอนตอความรและความสามารถในการดแลตนเองในผปวยทไดรบ การผาตดทำทางเบยงหลอดเลอดแดงโคโรนาร บทคดยอ วตถประสงค: เพอศกษาผลของโปรแกรมการสอนตอความร ความสามารถในการดแลตนเอง ในผปวยทไดรบการผาตดทำทางเบยงหลอดเลอดแดงโคโรนาร รปแบบการวจย: การวจยกงทดลอง (a quasi-experimental design) วธดำเนนการวจย: กลมตวอยางเปนผปวยทไดรบการผาตดทำทางเบยงหลอดเลอดแดงโคโรนารเปนครงแรกจำนวน 100 ราย โดยผปวย 49 รายแรกถกจดใหอยในกลมควบคม และ 51 รายตอมาอยในกลมทดลอง กลมทดลองไดรบโปรแกรมการสอนเพอนดหมายในวนทมาผาตด และวนทมาผาตด และหลงผาตดวนท 5 เนอหาการสอนครอบคลมความรในระยะกอนและหลงผาตดเพอการฟนตวทโรงพยาบาลและบาน ดวยวธการสอนแบบบรรยายรวมกบสอวดทศน รวบรวมขอมลดวยแบบสอบถามความรกอนผาตดและกอนกลบบาน แบบสอบถามความสามารถในการดแลตนเองหลงผาตด วนท 5 และ 1 เดอน วเคราะหขอมลทางสถตดวยคาเฉลย สวนเบยงเบนมาตรฐาน เปรยบเทยบความแตกตางระหวาง 2 กลม ดวยสถตทอสระ t (independent t-test) ผลการวจย: ผลการศกษาพบวา คะแนนเฉลยความรกอนผาตดและกอนกลบบาน คะแนนเฉลยความสามารถในการดแลตนเองหลงผาตดวนท 5 และ 1 เดอน ในกลมทดลองมมากกวากลมควบคมอยางมนยสำคญทางสถต (p < .001) สรปและขอเสนอแนะ: จากผลการวจยแสดงใหเหนวา โปรแกรมการสอนควรมเนอหาความรอยางครอบคลมครบถวน ดวยวธบรรยายรวมกบสอวดทศนในเวลาทเหมาะสมกอนผาตด วนทมาผาตด ภายหลงผาตด และกอนกลบบาน คำสำคญ: โปรแกรมการสอน ความร ความสามารถในการดแลตนเอง ทางเบยงหลอดเลอดแดงโคโรนาร
Association Between Bone Mineral Density and Lipid Profile in Chinese Women

Purpose: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease may share the risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), one of which is dyslipidemia. The association between serum cholesterol and BMD remains controversial. Thus, the correlation between serum lipids and BMD in women was explored in the current study. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1116 Chinese female participants. Serum samples were collected to evaluate total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and other laboratory markers. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip BMD. Results: In the postmenopausal women, a non-linear relationship was detected between TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and lumbar spine BMD. Using segmented linear regression, the inflection points were 5.86 mmol/L, 3.52 mmol/L, and 2.37 mmol/L, respectively. To the left of the inflection point, the higher the serum lipid level, the lower the value for lumbar spine BMD. To the right of the inflection point, the higher the serum level of TC and LDL-C, the higher the value for lumbar spine BMD. In the premenopausal women, the association between HDL-C and femoral neck BMD was non-linear. In addition, LDL-C had a positive association with BMD of the femoral neck and HDL-C had an inverse association with BMD of the femoral neck in postmenopausal women. Conclusion: In postmenopausal women, the relationship between TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and lumbar spine BMD was non-linear. TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C were negatively associated with lumbar spine BMD when the values were less than 5.86 mmol/L, 3.52 mmol/L, and 2.37 mmol/L, respectively. The mechanisms of the association were unclear, and further research is warranted to clarify the relationship.

Structure-function relationships of a novel bacterial toxin, hemolysin E: the role of a G

reveals that both poles of the protein are crucial for conferring a hemolytic phenotype on E. coli . These observations complement previous site-directed mutagenic studies in Substitutions in HlyE leading to reduced in vivo hemolytic activity were identified. The numbers in parentheses independent isolates of a particular variant. The amount of soluble HlyE variant in test cultures was estimated by Western blotting with a polyclonal anti-HlyE serum. The blots were standardized with purified HlyE (10 ng) and analyzed by quantitative densitometry. Hemolytic activities of colonies expressing the indicated HlyE variants were measured on blood agar plates by calculating the area (mm2) of the zone of hemolysis surrounding the colonies. Four measurements were made for each variant and the values are the averages with standard deviations. The in vitro hemolytic activities were used to determine All assays and are with
Accounting Analysis Organizational Commitment, Information Asymmetry, and the Nature of Conscientiousness as Moderating the Relationship of Budget Participation to Budgetary Slack

This study aims to analyze whether organizational commitment, information asymmetry and the nature of conscientiousness can moderate the effect of budgetary participation on budgetary slack. The population of this research is 31 OPD Semarang City. The minimum number of samples that can be taken based on the slovin formula is 24 OPD. Sampling technique used random sampling. The number of respondents are 120 echelon three and four officials. The data in the study was the primary data taken through the spread of questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Moderate Regression Analyze with SPSS 21 program. Based on the result of the research, it showed that budget participation had a positive effect on budgetary slack. Organizational commitment and the nature of conscientiousness variables were proven to moderate the effect of participation on budgetary slack. Meanwhile, the information asymmetry variable could not be a moderating variable. The conclusion of this research is the higher the budget participation, the higher the incidence of budgetary slack so that hypothesis 1 is rejected. Organizational commitment and high conscientiousness of budget participation affect the budgetary slack but its effect to weaken.
Comparative Anatomical Study of Kidney in adult Male Squirrel ( Sciurus anomalus) and Mice (Mus musculus)

The current study aimed to investigate the anatomical, morphological, morphometrical data of the kidney in two types of rodent, the squirrel and mice. A total number of 80 kidneys were obtaining from two species which include 40 specimens from squirrels and same number of specimens from mice. Current study showed that the kidneys in two species lay in the abdominal cavity lying retroperitoneal against upper dorsal wall rear of abdominal cavity on either side of vertebral column . The left kidney in squirrel was longer and thicker than right kidney while in mice was reversible and in both animal the left kidney more distant from the median plane than the right but the left kidney in squirrel was larger than right kidney the value . Shape of kidneys in squirrel appeared semi bean like structure but in mice the shape was typical bean like structure, and in both animals the kidneys have smooth surface. Both kidneys of squirrel were by relatively solid texture in contrast with mice kidney . The biometrical measurements of the kidney revealed that the mean weight in squirrel was significantly larger than that of mice. Whereas all micro measurements recorded showed a significant differences between squirrel and mice where the means in squirrel appeared higher than those of mice. Renal artery which arises from abdominal aorta divided to the right branches, the right artery appeared shorter than the left artery, because the left kidney being more distant from the median plane than the right one. The renal artery in mice divided into 3 branches called anterior renal artery, intermediate renal artery and posterior renal artery but in squirrel divided to 2 branches anterior and posterior renal artery. in both animals the 2nd order of artery branches intermediate renal artery divided in mice in 4 inerlober branches but in squirrel the interlober divided into 6 branches
Performance Comparison of Enhanced Data Vortex Networks with Node Buffers and with Inter-cylinder Paths

— Optical switching fabric networks have become essential systems in high capacity communication and computing systems. This paper focuses on Data Vortex network architecture with two alternative implementations for improved performance. Either a buffer is added within the routing node or inter-cylinder paths are provided for enhanced routing performance. Since the extra hardware required for both implementations are the same, the network with better routing performance provides a better solution. A comparative study of the two methods is conducted with various load conditions and network redundancy. In addition to random traffic, performances under bursty traffic are also studied. The results have demonstrated that networks with inter-cylinder paths provide significantly lower latency and better throughput, and they are especially advantageous under bursty traffics. All results have shown that the approach with inter-cylinder paths provides more effective sharing of the routing resource within the network compared with the node buffering method. The difference in performance is also shown to be more dramatic under higher load conditions and for larger networks. Finally the comparison is also extended to a modified 4 -ary Data Vortex network, where traffic backpressure increasingly becomes a limiting factor due to deflection. Under medium to low redundant conditions, a similar performance trend is observed as that in regular binary Data Vortex network, where the inter-cylinder path method offer significant improvement in latency over the buffer node implementation, even though the latter also offers good improvement over the buffer-less 4 -ary network. A slight better performance in throughput is also shown in the inter-cylinder path method. In summary, we conclude that the inter-cylinder path enhancement provides a more attractive solution over the buffer based solution for various network operation conditions, especially promising for low redundant and high load conditions.
Hepatoprotective activity of Osmium sanctum leaf extract against paracetamol induced hepatic damage in mice

Introduction: Hepatotoxicity is associated with diseases that cause increased deaths worldwide. Medicines, chemicals, and dietary disturbance cause liver damage. However, for hepatoprotection medicinal plants are safer, effective, and pharmaceutical alternatives for liver damage. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Ocimum Sanctum leaf extract (OSLE) on paracetamol- induced hepatic damage in mice. Methods: Mice were divided into four groups. Group A normal control, Group B 250mg/kg of paracetamol, Group C 250mg/kg of paracetamol and OSLE, and Group D 500mg/kg of OSLE and 250mg/kg were given respectively for 7 days. The hepatoprotective effect was measured by assaying

The Logical Framework Method for Defining Project Success

Project success is a core concept of project management but its definition remains elusive. The project team must have a clear understanding of their project success objectives. This paper uses the logical framework method (LFM) as a foundation for defining project success. Using LFM, four levels of project objectives are identified: goal, purpose, output, and input. It is proposed that project success consists of two components—product success and project management success. Product success deals with goal and purpose; project management success deals with outputs and inputs.
Design for Control

Currently, a large series of helpful guidelines for the design of products in the more concrete stages of design and product development were generated and published under the notion design for X, such as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), Design to Cost (DtC), and Design for Sustainability (DfS). Until now, little attention has been given to design guidelines aiming to supporting designers in creating products that enable and ease control – no special attention has been given to Design for Control (DfC) guidelines. Some researchers have started to investigate DfC, but until now, the more conceptual stages of design were not the focus of their research. Additionally, recent research in the direction of Design for Diagnosis (DfD) has been initiated, which shares some common elements with DfC. In this paper, a first attempt is made to formulate hypotheses for how mechanical and electrical products can be designed in order to enable and to ease effective and efficient control.
PRE & POST-HATCHING DEVELOPMENT OF THE THYMUS GLAND IN CHICKEN

The present work aimed to clarify the microscopic details of most developmental stages of thymus gland in both pre and post-hatching life. Therefore eighty chicken embryos in addition to sixty four post hatched birds were subjected to the investigation. The collected glands were fixed and processed to be examined by light and electron microscopy. The thymus primordium appeared as bilateral cellular masses at the 4 th day of incubation just beside the jugular vein. Later on the thymus gland became lobulated and surrounded by primitive capsule in addition to appearance of lymphopieotic cells. At the 12 th day of incubation demarcation between the thymic cortex and common thymic medulla could be recognized. The thymic lobule of the 16 th day of incubation showed over crowded cortex contained large number of thymoblasts and few reticular cells while medulla contained few thymoblasts and numerous reticular cells as well as acidophilic masses. At the day nineteen of incubation up to the hatching day showed the fully developed form of the thymus gland. In one day-old chick, the thymus gland showed well developed stroma and cortex contained a huge number of mature cells (small thymocytes) and few reticular cells as well as medullary thymic corpuscles. At two months the gland showed various degrees of degeneration in both thymocytes and reticular cells while at five month the gland showed marked losing in the cortical architecture and appearance of myoid cells in the medulla. The thymus gland of one year-old chick showed a complete loss of the cortical tissue with massive degeneration of the thymic remnants.
