Advances in Critical Care Engineering

Current algorithms identifying hemodynamically unstable intensive care unit patients typically are limited to detecting existing dangerous conditions and suffer from high false alert rates. Our objective was to predict hemodynamic instability at least two hours before patient deterioration while maintaining a low false alert rate, using minute-by-minute heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) data. We identified 66 stable and 104 unstable patients meeting our stabilityinstability criteria from the MIMIC II database, and developed multi-parameter measures using HR and BP. An instability index combining measures of BP, shock index, rate pressure product, and HR variation was developed from a multivariate regression model to predict hemodynamic instability (ROC of 0.82±0.03, sensitivity of 0.57±0.07 when the specificity was targeted at 0.90; the alert rate ratio of unstable to stable patients was 7.62). We conclude that these algorithms could form the basis for reliable predictive clinical alerts which identify patients likely to become hemodynamically unstable within the next few hours so that the clinicians can proactively manage these patients and provide necessary care.
Lessons in Flexibility: Introducing a Yoga Program in an Australian Prison

International research provides support for yoga as a wellbeing intervention in prison. Until recently, no systematic research had been undertaken in Australia to assess the effectiveness of a yoga program, or consider the challenges of implementation. In 2017, the authors, in partnership with Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Corrective Services and the Yoga Foundation, introduced a pilot yoga program at the Alexander Maconochie Centre in the ACT. This paper draws on comments from the prisoners who participated in the program and the yoga teacher, as well as the perspectives of a prison psychologist and the lead author, both of whom also participated in the program. The paper reflects on the lessons learnt from developing and delivering a prison yoga program and advocates for the expansion of such programs in Australian prisons.
Removalof Cephalexin From Aqueous Solutions Using Magnesium Oxide/Granular Activated Carbon Hybrid Photocatalytic Process

In the present study, magnesium oxide/granular activated carbon (MgO/GAC) composite as a catalyst was synthesized using the sol-gel method and its catalytic potential was investigated in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for the removal of cephalexin (CLX) in a batch mode reactor. Then, the characterization of the MgO/GAC composite was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Next, the effect of operational parameters was evaluated, including the pH of the solution (3-11), the dosage of composite (1-6 g/L), initial CLX concentration (20-100 mg/L), and contact time (10-60 minutes). The maximum CLX degradation with an initial concentration of 20 mg/L was as high as 98% at pH=3, 4 g/L of MgO/GAC composite with UV irradiation within 60-minute contact time. In addition, the removal process of CLX could be described by the pseudofirst-order kinetic. Further, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate were 78% and, 62.3% in optimum conditions, respectively. The results indicated that the UV/MgO/GAC hybrid photocatalytic process can be considered as an efficient alternative for treating the wastewater containing CLX.
EFFECTS OF ORANGE PEEL OIL ON QUAIL (COTURNIX COTURNIX JAPONICA) GROWTH-PERFORMANCE, EGG QUALITY AND BLOOD PARAMETERS

In food industry, citrus peels are emerging as waste during processing of the fruits to juice or canned food. Thus, significant amounts of citrus peels are obtained each year all over the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of orange peel oil on quail growth-performance, egg quality and blood parameters. First, essential oil was extracted from orange peel and then different amounts of essential oil (200, 400 and 600 ppm) were mixed with quail feed. Essential oil-containing and essential oil-free feeds were individually supplied to 3-5 day aged 36 quails during 9 weeks. Growth performance parameters, egg weight, shell thickness, shell strength, Haugh Units and some blood parameters of the quails were determined. The gas chromatography results revealed that limonene was the main volatile, aromatic and bioactive component of orange peel essential oil. Orange peel essential oil addition did not significantly affect growth performance of the quails. Moreover, essential oil addition influenced egg weight, b* values of yolk and a* values of albumen. Additionally, supplementation of 600 ppm essential oil increased monounsaturated fatty acids ratio and reduced the total saturated fatty acids ratio. In terms of blood parameters, essential oil addition affected quail blood parameters such as GLC, ALP, GOT, GPT, LDH values, while ALB, TPROT, CH and TG values of the quails were not affected. In conclusion, orange peel oil may be used as valuable alternative natural additive for poultry feed.

Economics of Makhana Production and Socio-economic Profile of Makhana Growers in Bihar

The Bihar state produces more than 80 per cent of Makhana globally. Despite having monopoly production, the net profit earned by Makhana producers is relatively small as the cost of cultivation is high. In order to analyse the cost of cultivation and to identify major cost incurring operations, the present study was conducted in Purnea, Darbangha and Saharsa districts of Bihar. A random sample of 120 Makhana growers and 60 processors was randomly selected from study area. Respondents’ personal interviews were conducted with the help of semi structured interview schedule to collect the data. Findings of the study revealed that majority of the Makhana cultivators belongs to Mallah community. The average age of Makhana growers was 47 years (SD=10.3). The majority of Makhana growers (65.83%) belonged to the age group of 45-64 years. Further it was observed that 100 per cent of the sampled growers’ and processors’ households were headed by males. The average family size of Makhana grower was 9. The majority of the Makhana growers Original Research Article Atal et al.; CJAST, 38(6): 1-5, 2019; Article no.CJAST. 53053 2 were living in joint family. It was found that, majority (76.66%) of the Makhana growers were having small and marginal holdings of which 34.16 per cent were small farmer and 42.5 per cent were marginal farmer. It was also observed that the average income of the Makhana growers was Rs. 224925 per year. Further it was found that cost of Makhana cultivation per acre was Rs. 48248/acre, The major cost component of Makhana cultivation was found to be the harvesting activity which contributed around 60 per cent of total cultivation cost. The revenue earned by sales of Makhana was Rs. 59299 per care. From each acre of Makhana cultivated farmers earned Rs. 11051. The B:C Ratio of Makhana production activity was found to be 1:1.22. Therefore it was concluded that, there exists ample scope for reduction of cost of cultivation through mechanization of harvesting activity.

The results revealed that there was a significant (p<0.05) decrease in serum glucose level was dose and period dependent. Weight of body also reduced significantly (p<0.05) with doses and period dependent. The lipid profile level significantly (p<0.05) decreased in dose and period’s manner in each of Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), High Density Lipoprotein(HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL). Results showed that the hot aqueous extract of beetle cocoon has side effect at two administered doses in present study, since the raw extract of this cocoon is used in people medicine to treat for respiratory inflammations in Iraq from decades. The study revealed that the extract have some undesirable effects on lipid profile, so must advise the people not to rush in using the extract of cocoon in therapy of chronic respiratory problems because it has other side effects in the body.
The Relationship between Self-esteem and Anxiety with Severity of Pain and Suffering of Labor

Introduction: Recognition of labor pain is a primary concern of physicians, midwives and their clients in controlling labor pain and preventing the resulting suffering. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between self-esteem and anxiety with severity of pain and suffering of labor in women. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 365 mothers who experienced delivery at Shahidan Mobini hospital in Sabzevar in 2014. The data were collected using Rosenberg Self-esteem questionnaire and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety scales, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and experience and perception of suffering. Data were analyzed using t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and chi-square test considering level of significance equal to 0.05. Results: The mean age was 26.4± 4.7 years old. In this study, 119 (44.9%) samples were nulliparous, 20 (7.5%) were employed and 196 (74%) were urban citizens. There was no significant difference between the pain of labor score in terms of self-esteem levels (p=0.84) and the level of covert anxiety (p=0.15) and overt anxiety (p=0.06). However, there was a significant differences between the suffering of labor scores in terms of selfesteem levels (p<0.001),the covert anxiety levels (p<0.001) and the overt anxiety levels (p<0.05). Conclusion: Considering pregnant women with higher self- esteem and lower anxiety score had a lower score on labor suffering in this study, it seems health care providers can help reduce pregnant women’s suffering of labor through strengthening the well-being and health of pregnant women and supporting them during pregnancy and labor.
Functional Properties of Defatted Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) Seeds Protein and Its Hydrolysates

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional properties of Roselle seed protein isolates and its hydrolysates. Place and Duration of Study: The Roselle seeds were collected in Koutiala (Mali), in November 2018. All analysis were conducted in the Faculty of Sciences and Technics, particularly in the Laboratory of Plant and Food Biochemistry and Biotechnology from January to June 2019. Methodology: The effect of enzymatic hydrolysis on the functional properties of Roselle seed protein (RSP) was investigated. Defatted Roselle seed flour was used to extract the protein isolates. The protein was digested for 2 hours and 3 hours using pepsin followed by pancreatin. Results: The 2 hours and 3 hours Roselle seed protein hydrolysates (RSPH2, RSPH3) compare to Original Research Article Tounkara et al.; JEAI, 41(5): 1-9, 2019; Article no.JEAI. 52603 2 RSPI, exhibited a good foaming capacity of 300, 315 and 165% respectively. The water holding capacity (WHC) of the RSPI, RSPH2 and the RSPH3 were 2, 2.5 and 2.2 ml/g respectively. The oil holding capacity ranged from 5.75 to 5.32 ml/g, the emulsifying capacity of the RSPH2 was higher than that of the RSPH3 and the RSPI, 105, 97 and 82 ml/g respectively. Conclusion: The ability of pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysates to be functional is primarily due to their soluble peptide content. The samples have good functional properties. These results proposed that pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysates could be useful as whole or partial replacement of high-price materials such as egg albumen and casein.
Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology

Earlier work found that – compared to participants who adopted constrictive body postures – participants who adopted expansive body postures reported feeling more powerful, showed an increase in testosterone and a decrease in cortisol, and displayed an increased tolerance for risk. However, these power pose effects have recently come under considerable scrutiny. Here, we present a Bayesian metaanalysis of six preregistered studies from this special issue, focusing on the effect of power posing on felt power. Our analysis improves on standard classical meta-analyses in several ways. First and foremost, we considered only preregistered studies, eliminating concerns about publication bias. Second, the Bayesian approach enables us to quantify evidence for both the alternative and the null hypothesis. Third, we use Bayesian model-averaging to account for the uncertainty with respect to the choice for a fixed-effect model or a random-effect model. Fourth, based on a literature review, we obtained an empirically informed prior distribution for the between-study heterogeneity of effect sizes. This empirically informed prior can serve as a default choice not only for the investigation of the power pose effect but for effects in the field of psychology more generally. For effect size, we considered a default and an informed prior. Our meta-analysis yields very strong evidence for an effect of power posing on felt power. However, when the analysis is restricted to participants unfamiliar with the effect, the meta-analysis yields evidence that is only moderate.

The sleep quality using Pittsburgh sleep quality index.

BACKGROUND: Good quality and enough sleep are necessary for the proper cognitive performance of medical students. There is a wide prevalence of sleep disturbances among Pakistani medical students and there is a need to spread awareness regarding the problems concerning sleep patterns. OBJECTIVE: To determine the quality of sleep among first and final year medical students. METHODOLOGY: It’s a cross sectional study conducted at Services Institute of Medical College Lahore from the 10th May to 15th June 2016.A total of 300 Male and female medical students of first and final year were administered PSQI and their socio-demographic profile along with academic performance was noted. The results were collected and analyzed in SPSS ver.21. 0. RESULTS: Of the 300 students approached,63.67% were females and 36.33% were males. Overall, PSQI score >5 (indicating poor sleep quality) was found to be 64.7%. The mean PSQI score among first year males was 7.68 with a standard deviation of 3.95 and among females was 7.47 with a standard deviation of 3.02. On the other hand, the mean PSQI score among final year males was found to be 6.97 with a standard deviation of 3.86 and among final year females was 5.65 with a standard deviation of 1.40. 69.7% of the males and 61.8% of the females were classified as poor sleepers. CONCLUSION: Sleep quality among first and final year medical students was significantly poor. Hence, efforts must be directed towards creating awareness about sleep hygiene, its deprivation and consequences among medical students.
Stimulating Online Buying Behaviour among Millennials in Pakistan: A conceptual model and Research Propositions

Many e-retailers are utilising the influence of situational variables to impact consumer buying behaviour. Despite online buying behaviour of consumers, especially under the stimulants of sales promotion and scarcity are commonly practiced in developed countries, dearths of scholarly research both conceptual and empirical studies have been observed in developing countries like Pakistan. This study conceptualises the existing framework based on extensive literature review and proposes a quantitative research design for data collection in future. This paper brings forth the conceptual model to fill the gap of theoretical knowledge by delineating the influence of the purchase factors especially on the specific generation’s cohort i.e. Millennials and provides an explanation of their effects through consumer internal evaluation i.e. anticipated regret. Finally, the authors discuss both theoretical and managerial implications and offer guidelines of future empirical research.

In conjunction with the 11th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning: Adaptive and Adaptable Learning

Especially in lifelong or professional learning, the picture of a continuous learning analytics process emerges. In this process, heterogeneous and changing data source applications provide data relevant to learning, at the same time as questions of learners to data change. This reality challenges designers of analytics tools, as it requires analytics tools to deal with data and analytics tasks that are unknown at application design time. In this paper, we describe a generic visualization tool that addresses these challenges by enabling the visualization of any activity log data. Furthermore, we evaluate how well participants can answer questions about underlying data given such generic versus custom visualizations. Study participants performed better in 5 out of 10 tasks with the generic visualization tool, worse in 1 out of 10 tasks, and without significant difference when compared to the visualizations within the data-source applications in the remaining 4 of 10 tasks. The experiment clearly showcases that overall, generic, standalone visualization tools have the potential to support analytical tasks sufficiently well.
EVALUATION OF ADIPOKINE CHEMERIN IN HYPERTENSIVE OBESE AVALIAÇÃO DA ADIPOCINA CHEMERIN EM OBESOS HIPERTENSOS

Chemerin is an adipokine secreted by adiopose tissue and has a role in obesity and hypertension. This study aims at assessing the level of the adipokine chemerin in obesity and/or hypertension and correlating its level with the inflammatory marker hs-CRP and predictors of atherosclerosis as lipid profile, insulin resistance, systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Volunteers were divided into 4 equal groups according to body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure: normal weight group (BMI ≤ 24.9 kg/m), overweight group (BMI = 25.0 – 29.9 kg/m), normotensive obese group (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m) and hypertensive obese group (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m). Chemerin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lipid profile, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (FI) were evaluated in the mentioned groups.The results showed that there were significant increases of chemerin, hs-CRP, low density lipoprotein (LDL), SBP and DBP in hypertensive obese group compared to normotensive obese , overweight and normal weight groups. Moreover the only significant positive correlation between chemerin and hs-CRP was observed in the obese hypertensive group. The normotensive obese group showed significant increases of hs-CRP, LDL, triglyceride (TG), FBG, FI and the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) compared to the overweight and normal weight groups. Regarding the overweight group, there were significant increases in chemerin, hs-CRP, cholesterol, LDL, TG compared to the normal weight group, while the HDL levels were significantly lower compared to the two obese groups. These results revealed that the pro-inflammatory adipokine chemerin increases in obesity associated with hypertension, leading to the suggestion that there is a definite dysregulation of the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory parameters towards the pro-inflammatory when hypertension and obesity are associated.
