Intramuscular fat as a predictor of eating quality

The steady decline in sheepmeat consumption throughout Australia over recent decades has been partly driven by inconsistencies in eating quality. Eating quality, and thus sensory perception (tenderness, juiciness, flavour, overall liking), is a key factor influencing consumer demand of sheepmeat. A strong positive driver of consumer sheepmeat sensory scores is intramuscular fat (IMF), and has therefore been proposed as a required measurement in future grading systems. IMF of the M. longissimus lumborum (loin) has been shown to be moderately correlated with IMF of muscles throughout the lamb carcass, indicating potential to predict eating quality of these muscles based on loin IMF. Thus, there is potential to predict the eating quality of these muscles based on the IMF content of the loin. Consumer sensory scores of untrained consumers were obtained for the grilled loin, M. semimembranosus (topside), M. gluteus medius (rump), M. biceps femoris (outside) and both the M. rectus femoris and M. vastus lateralis (knuckle) of 918 lambs. IMF was measured in all muscles using a lab-based near-infrared procedure. Linear mixed effects models (SAS Version 9.1) were used to analyse consumer scores for tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall liking of all individual cuts. Two versions of these models were tested; firstly fitting loin IMF as a covariate, and secondly fitting IMF of each individual cut as a covariate. Both loin IMF and individual cut IMF predicted the eating quality of all cuts for tenderness and flavour. However, in the loin, outside and topside, only juiciness and overall liking scores could be predicted. In almost all cases, loin IMF accounted for more eating quality variation than individual cut IMF, describing between 8%-20% more variance. The results suggest that to predict eating quality, measuring of IMF within each cut is not needed, with only a single measurement of IMF taken from the loin required to predict eating quality. This is an important finding and supports current investment within the Australian sheepmeat industry to develop and implement an online objective measurement of IMF within the loin.
Toward a Typology of Family Firm Corporate Entrepreneurship

Family involvement in business creates idiosyncrasies in firm behavior that promote long‐term, often transgenerational, strategic logics that ostensibly align with the motivations and outcomes of corporate entrepreneurship. Interestingly, extant research provides only minimal insight into the heterogeneous nature of corporate entrepreneurship orientations pursued by family firms. To better understand this heterogeneity, we develop a typology of corporate entrepreneurship in family firms providing a reconciliatory approach to this literary diversity and suggest that the varied corporate entrepreneurship orientations of family firms are impacted by the duality of a family's distinct intention to pursue transgenerational succession and capabilities to acquire external knowledge.
Factors Associated with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome in Cases with Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid

Objective: To determine the factors associated with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) in cases with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) at Chonburi Hospital. Materials and methods: Singleton pregnancies delivered at Chonburi Hospital with vertex presentation with MSAF during the 15 May 2011 – 15 May 2014 period were reviewed. These pregnancies included women who delivered at or beyond 24 weeks of gestation or birth weight at least 700 grams but excluded those who delivered infants with lethal congenital abnormalities. They were divided into 2 groups depending on whether the neonates developed MAS or not. The two groups were compared retrospectively regarding baseline characteristics, and then binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent significant factors associated with MAS. Results: Among 776 pregnancies who met the inclusion criteria, 111 neonates developed MAS, 665 neonates did not. Thick meconium, abnormal external fetal monitoring, non-vigorous newborn, Apgar score at 1 minute less than or equal to 7, and low birth weight were significantly associated with MAS (p<0.05). By the binary logistic regression analysis; thick meconium, non-vigorous newborn, and Apgar score at 1 minute less than or equal to 7 remained statistically significant (OR 4.82, 95% CI 2.86-8.14, OR 5.87, 95% CI 2.84-12.13 and OR 3.23, 95% CI 1.60-6.54, respectively). Conclusion: Thick meconium, non-vigorous newborn and Apgar score at 1 minute less than or equal to 7 were associated with MAS in MSAF
Plastic film mulching with drip irrigation promotes maize (Zea mays L.) yield and water-use efficiency by improving photosynthetic characteristics

ABSTRACT It is important to reveal the physiological mechanism of water saving and yield increasing of mulched drip irrigation. Three treatments were applied at aspring maize field in Northeast China: mulched drip irrigation (MD), non-mulched drip irrigation (ND) and rain-fed practice (CK). Result showed that, MD treatment increased 5-year (2014–2018) average grain yield (GY) by 18.6% compared with the CK. The GY showed significant linear positive correlations with photosynthetic capacity (A max ) and maximum carboxylation rate (V cmax ). The 2-year (2017–2018)mean A max and V cmax of MD were significantly increased by 21.1%and 10.7%, respectively, compared with CK, and the increase was partially contributed by the descending of bundle-sheath cells to CO2 (L). The L of MD was decreased by 6.5–12.4% (P< 0.05) during the jointing and tasseling–milk stages. The relationships between A max and leaf nitrogen content (N mass ), and between V cmax and N mass , were affected by mulching treatment, which indicates that the higher leaf Nuse efficiency of the MD treatment. This study provides atheoretical basis for implementation ofmulched drip-irrigation technology,especially in Northeast China.
Reusability Enhancement of Taste Sensor Using Lipid Polymer Membranes by Surfactant Cleaning Treatment

The aim of our study was to enhance the reusability of a taste sensor by increasing the efficiency of the cleaning process. In this paper, we proposed a surfactant cleaning method for two types of bitterness sensor using lipid polymer membranes with high hydrophobicity. To select suitable surfactants for cleaning, the usability of four types of surfactant with different polarities and ionicities was evaluated. Among these surfactants, the anionic surfactant linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) showed no impact on the initial membrane potential and completely removed residue substances of high-concentration quinine hydrochloride adsorbed on the bitterness sensor used for hydrochloride salts. On the other hand, the amphoteric surfactant lauryl dimethylaminoacetic acid (LDA) showed no impact on the initial membrane potential and almost completely removed residue substances of high-concentration iso- $\alpha $ acid adsorbed on the bitterness sensor used for acidic bitter materials. Moreover, we found that the combined use of the conventional cleaning solution and LDA acid solution in turn greatly improved the reusability of an astringency sensor in multiple measurements of black tea.
Production Strategy Development: Simulation of Dependencies Using Recurrent Fuzzy Systems

New and unsaturated markets are predominantly located in countries with low incomes. To successfully establish businesses in these new markets, an increasing globalization of value creation is necessary. The integration of these new markets is challenged by their dynamics, turbulence and regulation. Above all, an initially low and volatile demand as well as high barriers for market entry must be counteracted by economical small-series production. As market development is a major challenge for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), knowledge about the impact of local conditions on their production strategy decisions is essential. Therefore, we design a recurrent fuzzy model combining country- and company-specific input factors as well as internal production parameters to obtain a transparent and reproducible impact statement. The model allows a simplified development of the expert knowledge base by mapping the influences in two steps. The application of the designed model is based on the example of the aCar mobility project, within which an electric vehicle was designed for local value creation in Africa. By applying the model for different African countries, strategy sensitivities can be identified, and recommendations derived.

Chylothorax: A Review of Management Options

Chylothorax is a rare condition caused by obstruction or injury to the thoracic duct leading to accumulation of chyle in the pleural cavity. A definitive guideline for management is lacking and most cases are managed with a staged care plan that moves from the least invasive options to more invasive interventions. First-line therapy consists of treatment of underlying conditions, pleural drainage to control symptoms, and dietary modifications. Surgical measures including pleurodesis and thoracic duct ligation are pursued if conservative measures are ineffective. In recent times, percutaneous image-guided interventions such as thoracic duct embolization and thoracic duct disruption are increasingly being used. These interventions have shown promising results and are used to manage patients with failed conservative therapy, high-output chylothorax, and those who cannot tolerate surgical procedures.

Deriving a Bayesian Network to Assess the Retention Efficacy of Riparian Buffer Zones

Bayesian networks (BN) have increasingly been applied in water management but not to estimate the efficacy of riparian buffer zones (RBZ). Our methodical study aims at evaluating the first BN to predict the RBZ efficacy to retain sediment and nutrients (dissolved, total, and particulate nitrogen and phosphorus) from widely available variables (width, vegetation, slope, soil texture, flow pathway, nutrient form). To evaluate the influence of parent nodes and how the number of states affects prediction errors, we used a predefined general BN structure, collected 580 published datasets from North America and Europe, and performed classification tree analyses and multiple 10-fold cross-validations of different BNs. These errors ranged from 0.31 (two output states) to 0.66 (five states). The outcome remained unchanged without the least influential nodes (flow pathway, vegetation). Lower errors were achieved when parent nodes had more than two states. The number of efficacy states influenced most strongly the prediction error as its lowest and highest states were better predicted than intermediate states. While the derived BNs could support or replace simple design guidelines, they are limited for more detailed predictions. More representative data on vegetation or additional nodes like preferential flow will probably improve the predictive power.
Diversification of Insurance Companies’ Products as Supporting Infrastructure Development Institutions in Indonesia

This paper analyses the product diversifications of insurance companies as supporting facilities for infrastructure development. In Indonesia, infrastructure development needs protection or guarantee and insurance as a medium that hinders risk transfer during the construction process. Product diversification carried out by insurance companies to support infrastructure development harms the company's financial performance. In addition, the more diversified the business lines owned by insurance companies, the lower their financial performance, which negatively impacts on its ability as a medium of risk transfer. Conversely, huge ownership of market share and reinsurance positively affect the financial performance of general insurance companies in Indonesia.
Voice change in transsexuals.

Because the voice characteristics of transsexuals are frequently incongruent with their desired gender role, particularly for male-to- female transsexuals, voice training is integral to the gender reassignment process. This paper reviews the available research evidence on voice differences between males and females, voice training procedures for transsexuals, laryngeal surgery for voice change, and the efficacy of both voice training and laryngeal surgery. Training in other aspects of communication including speech sound articulation, vocabulary, and communication topic and style is also discussed. This review is concerned mainly with voice change for male-to-female transsexuals, but the need for change in communication behaviour for female-to-male transsexuals is briefly outlined.

Modified Two Major Environmental Values scale for measuring Chinese children’s environmental attitudes

Abstract The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is used worldwide to predict people’s environmental worldviews. However, some researchers criticize its unidimensional structure and limited ability to predict pro-environmental behavior (PEB). The Two Major Environmental Values (2-MEV) scale, which considers environmental attitudes in two dimensions—preservation and utilization—may overcome these deficiencies. To examine if the 2-MEV exceeds the NEP scale in predictability of people’s environmental attitudes in China and its applicability to Chinese children, we modified the 2-MEV scale in Chinese and used it to question 490 students (aged 9–12) in China. The results show that the modified version demonstrated good reliability and internal consistency. Furthermore, the 2-MEV demonstrated significantly a higher predictive power of PEB than the NEP. We thus contend the 2-MEV is a promising measurement for gauging Chinese children’s environmental attitudes. The application of the 2-MEV in different contexts and the improvement of NEP was discussed.
Relationships between post appraisal criteria and performance of official development assistance infrastructure projects: The case studies of Vietnam

Annual investment in infrastructure industry of Vietnam has expanded substantially since the adoption of reform and opening-up policy in 1986. Although this investment helps improving the capacity of infrastructure system, there are challenges in terms of project performance, which has been informed to be confronting with a number of critical problems, related to low competitiveness, poor quality, cost overruns, time delays, poor productivity, low efficiency and client dissatisfaction. Contributing to the massive investment, the Official Development Assistance (ODA) infrastructure projects (ODAIPs) has been played a vital role in the development for the last decades. The success of an ODAIP is determined by stakeholders’ perspective who have diverse objectives and concerns. At the completion of any ODAIPs, a preparation of a post project completion report is required with verifying all aspects of the ODAIPs have been completed, authorizing the project budget and discussing the issues that had been encountered over the course of project, which is needed to implications for further ODAIPs. This study aims to analyze the users’ perspectives in post appraisal of ODAIPs in regard to the functions of project management, including project conception, project planning, project directing and project controlling. The analyses were performed from users’ related project-specific data that were collected from 27 completed ODAIPs in Vietnam. The findings of this study are expected to offer not only a useful tool for construction professionals delivering appropriately managerial functions contributing to ODAIPs success and sustainability, but also active feedbacks to further enhancing of the ODA’s policies.
Overexpression of Her2/Neu in Gastric Carcinoma: association with histological type, tumor grade and H. Pylori infection

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the world and its management, especially in advanced stages, has evolved relatively little. In particular, no targeted modality has so far been incorporated for treatment. HER2 over-expression is increasingly recognized as a frequent molecular abnormality, driven as in breast cancer by gene amplification. There is mounting evidence of the role of HER2 over-expression in patients with gastric cancer, and it has been strongly correlated to poorer outcomes and a more aggressive disease. Aims and objective: The purpose of this study is to establish the clinicoepidemiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical particularities of the gastric carcinomas, and to identify the factors with a prognostic value. Methods: The present study included 54 cases of gastric carcinoma, who had undergone endoscopy guided biopsy or gastrectomy. Expression of HER2 oncoprotein by immunohistochemistry and detection of Helicobacter pylori was done using modified Giemsa stain. Expression of HER2 was correlated with patient’s clinicopathological parameters. Results: HER2+ rates were 22.22% (12/54). HER2 over-expression was associated with poorly differentiated carcinoma ( P = 0 . 0159) and intestinal type of gastric carcinoma (P=0.0245). Conclusion: In this study, HER2 expression was seen more in intestinal type of gastric carcinoma as compared to the diffuse type involving mostly poorly differentiated cases. Regarding H. pylori, we found no correlation between its presence and the over-expression of HER2. So, the results of this study may contribute to a better knowledge of the efficacy of trastuzumab-based therapy in HER2 positive gastric cancers but the outcome of anti H. pylori medication in HER2 positive cases still remain inconclusive.
Role of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LHRHa) triptorelin (T) in preserving ovarian function during chemotherapy for early breast cancer patients: Results of a multicenter phase III trial of Gruppo Italiano Mammella (GIM) group.

528 Background: To evaluate the role of LHRHa-induced ovarian suppression in preserving the ovarian function (OF) during chemotherapy (CT), a phase III trial was carried out. Methods: Main eligibility criteria: stage I-III premenopausal BC patients (pts), age 18 to 45; hormone receptor (HR) status positive or negative. Arm A: CT alone; arm B: CT + T. T (supplied by Ipsen, Italy) was given every 4 wks during all CT cycles. Allowed CT regimens: CEF or EC (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, fluorouracil); A (doxorubicin) C; CEF or EC followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel; A or E followed by CMF; CMF. Pts with HR+ tumor received tamoxifen after CT. Primary endpoint: incidence of early menopause (defined by postmenopausal levels of both FSH and estradiol [E2] and no menstrual activity) 1 yr after the end of CT. Study design: multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase III trial. Assuming an incidence of permanent menopause of 60%, for alpha = 0.05 (2-sided) and beta = 0.1 (90% power), 140 pts per arm were needed to de.
CYTOMORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF SPECTRUM OF BREAST LESIONS AND DETERMINATION OF EFFICACY OF FNAC IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF VARIOUS BREAST LESIONS

AIM: The present study was undertaken to study the Cytomorphological spectrum of breast lesions and to determine the efficacy of FNAC in the diagnosis of various breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 512 cases were included in the study. The period of study was from January 2014 to December 2014. RESULTS: The patient’s age group ranged from 16 to 87 years with a mean age of 34.54 years. There were 6 male patients and 506 female patients. Among the category of lesions, the highest incidence recorded was of fibroadenoma (184=35.9%) that was followed by carcinoma (90=17.5%) and then by benign breast disease and fibrocystic disease with 79 and 48 cases respectively. Among carcinoma cases, 88 were classified as ductal carcinomas and 02 as mucinous carcinomas. Inflammatory lesions accounted for 65 cases (12.7%), which included 40 cases of abscess, 20 cases of granulomatous mastitis and 05 cases of chronic mastitis. 04 cases were categorized into Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)/Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and 05 cases were classified as suspicious of malignancy. 38 of 90 cases classified as malignant showed enlarged and palpable axillary lymph nodes. 09 (10%) of these cases showed metastatic deposits. CONCLUSION: FNAC is a relatively simple procedure with good patient acceptance and low morbidity. It is an accurate, safe and repeatable procedure in the diagnosis of various breast lesions – both malignant and non-malignant.
