VOLCANOGENIC MASSIVE SULPHIDES OF THE NORTHERN TULKS VOLCANIC BELT, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS, OVERVIEW OF DEPOSIT RECLASSIFICATIONS AND MINERALIZING ENVIRONMENTS

The Tulks Volcanic Belt, part of the Victoria Lake supergroup of central Newfoundland, is dominated by felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and lesser amounts of mafic volcanic rocks and intercalated sedimentary rocks. These rocks developed in volcano-sedimentary basins within active volcanic arcs on the peri-Gondwanan margin of the Iapetus Ocean. The northern portion of the belt is host to the important Daniels Pond and Bobbys Pond volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, as well as numerous smaller, base-metal prospects. The major VMS deposits are hosted by felsic volcanic, pyroclastic and volcaniclastic rocks. Mineralizing styles vary from "classic" exhalative-type mineralization developed on the seafloor, to possible "replacement"-style mineralization developed in a sub-seafloor environment. There are also mineralized debris-flow breccias, suggesting potential for transported ores. The Tulks Volcanic Belt has traditionally been viewed as a single stratigraphic sequence, but recent studies dictate that it is composite, consisting of several distinct tectonically juxtaposed groups ranging in age from at least 498 Ma to 453 Ma. Geochronological studies to furthur constrain the age of mineralization in the northern part of belt are under way; results of these studies may have stratigraphic and exploration implications. Volcanic massive sulphide deposits in the northern Tulks Volcanic Belt are interpreted to have formed in volcanic, volcaniclastic and sediment-rich basins as tectonic conditions changed from convergent (e.g., active-arc environment) to extensional (e.g., back-arc or arc-rift) environments. The deposits display mineralization, alteration, and textural characteristics indicative of both "classic" VMS-type deposits and epithermal-style mineralization of the type generally associated with subaerial volcanism. As such, these deposits likely represent a "hybrid bimodal felsic VMS-epithermal" deposit style. They differ from the bimodal-siliciclastic type deposits that characterize the southern part of the belt. It is suggested that VMS deposits in the northern part of the belt formed in a higher standing portion of the basin in relatively shallow-water conditions, proximal to vents and active magmatic systems that may have supplied fluid input. This setting differs from the deeper water, more distal environment envisioned for the deposits in the southern part of the belt.
Investigation of the Origin of Aronia mitschurinii using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis

Aronia Medik. , commonly known as chokeberry, is a genus of deciduous, multistemmed, rosaceous shrubs native to eastern North America. Three species of chokeberry are commonly accepted, A. arbutifolia (L.) Pers. , red chokeberry, A. melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott, black chokeberry, and A. prunifolia (Marshall) Rehder, or purple chokeberry. In Europe, a fourth species of human origin is recognized as Aronia mitschurinii A.K. Skvortsov & Maitul. In North America this type of Aronia is described as cultivars of A. melanocarpa, including 'Viking', 'Nero', and 'Aron'. This species is characterized by near homogeneity of the population, tetraploidy, and a distinct morphology with more robust stems, wider leaf blades, and larger fruits than wild populations of A. melanocarpa. It has been proposed that this genotype originated from Russian pomologist Ivan Michurin's early 20th century experiments involving Aronia × Sorbus hybridization. In this study we used amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) markers to elucidate the relationships of A. mitschurinii to wild North American Aronia, ×Sorbaronia C.K. Schneid, Sorbus L. , and six additional genera from subtribe Pyrinae (Rosaceae). Data from seven primer combinations were interpreted by the NTSYSpc software package into a similarity matrix using Jaccard's coefficient. Clustering of AFLP similarity data using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) identified A. mitschurinii as distinct from wild Aronia, grouping it close to ×Sorbaronia fallax C. K. Schneid. and ×Sorbaronia 'Ivan's Beauty'. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) also demonstrated a relationship between A. mitschurinii, ×Sorbaronia fallax, a ×Sorbaronia × Aronia backcross and compound-leaved Sorbus.
Efficacy and acceptability of psychosocial interventions in asylum seekers and refugees: systematic review and meta-analysis

Aims. In the past few years, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of forcibly displaced migrants worldwide, of which a substantial proportion is refugees and asylum seekers. Refugees and asylum seekers may experience high levels of psychological distress, and show high rates of mental health conditions. It is therefore timely and particularly relevant to assess whether current evidence supports the provision of psychosocial interventions for this population. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy and acceptability of psychosocial interventions compared with control conditions (treatment as usual/no treatment, waiting list, psychological placebo) aimed at reducing mental health problems in distressed refugees and asylum seekers. Methods. We used Cochrane procedures for conducting a systematic review and meta-ana-lysis of RCTs. We searched for published and unpublished RCTs assessing the efficacy and acceptability of psychosocial interventions in adults and children asylum seekers and refugees with psychological distress. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive and anxiety symptoms at post-intervention were the primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes include: PTSD, depressive and anxiety symptoms at follow-up, functioning, quality of life and drop-outs due to any reason. Results. We included 26 studies with 1959 participants. Meta-analysis of RCTs revealed that psychosocial interventions have a clinically significant beneficial effect on PTSD (standardised
Estimating the Clinical and Economic Impact of Switching from the 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) to the 10-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) in Italy

Background: Invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal diseases are significant health and economic burdens, especially in children and the elderly. Italy included the 7-valent (PCV7) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in the National Immunization Program in 2007 and 2010, respectively, allowing a dramatic reduction in the burden of pneumococcal disease. In the era of budget constraints, decision-makers may consider switching from the higher-valent, more costly PCV13, to the lower-cost PCV10. This study estimated the potential public health and economic impact of changing vaccine programs from PCV13 to PCV10 in Italy. Methods: A decision-analytic forecasting model estimated the impact of PCV programs. Real-world surveillance data were used to forecast serotype distribution and disease incidence among children and the elderly over a specified 5-year time horizon. Costs and outcomes included estimates of cases and deaths avoided, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained, and total costs from a payer perspective, discounted at an assumed rate of 3.0%, and robustness validated through several scenarios and sensitivity analyses. Results: A switch from PCV13 to PCV10 would increase invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) cases by 59.3% (4317 cases) over a 5-year horizon, primarily due to serotypes 3 and 19A. Pneumonia increased by 8.3% and acute otitis media (AOM) by 96.1%. Maintaining a PCV13 program would prevent a total incremental 531,435 disease cases (1.02M over a 10-year time horizon) and 641 deaths due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), with €23,642 per QALY gained over 5 years versus PCV10. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses showed that a PCV13-based program remained cost-effective in 99.7% of the simulations in Italy as parameters varied within their plausible range; percent vaccinated had the most impact. Conclusions: Maintaining the PCV13 strategy would provide substantial public health and economic benefits in Italy and is cost-effective. Switching from PCV13 to PCV10 would increase the incidence of pneumococcal disease primarily linked to re-emergence of serotypes 3 and 19A.
DIFFERENTIABILITY AND AREA FORMULA ON STRATIFIED LIE GROUPS

We prove the Area Formula for Lipschitz maps between stratied nilpotent Lie groups. The main tool is the di erentiablity of Lipschitz maps, proved by P. Pansu in Ann. of Math. '89. We extend this result to the case of measurable domains with non trivial technical modi cations. A suitable notion of jacobian is given for di erential maps, called G-linear maps, nding relations with the classical de nition of jacobian. Consider two strati ed nilpotent Lie groups G, P and a Lipschitz map f : A ! P, where A is a measurable set of G. The symbolsH d ,H denote theQ-Hausdor measures respectively de ned on the metric spaces (G; d) and (P; ). The jacobian of a G-linear map L : G ! P is de ned as JQ(L) = H Q (L(B1))=H Q d (B1), where B1 is the unit metric ball of G. Thus, the Area formula is stated as follows Z A JQ(dxf) dH Q d (x) = Z P N(f;A; y) dH (y) ; where N(f;A; y) is the multiplicity function of f , relative to the set A.
A Review of the Relationship Between Chronic Periodontitis and Diabetes

Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a common inflammatory disease which is characterized by progressive destruction of the tooth supporting structures and ultimately, potential tooth loss. A relationship between CP and diabetes has been recognized for some time. Both diseases share several collective risk factors, however, recent research has provided greater insight into the relationship with evidence emerging for each disease being a co-factor in the pathogenesis of the other. The aim of this review is to examine recent epidemiological evidence for the impact of diabetes on CP, and in the reverse direction, the impact of CP on diabetes. Based on the available evidence to date, it seems likely that the level of metabolic control influences future periodontal disease risk. In the reverse direction, the presence of CP has the potential to adversely affect glycemic control in both diabetes-affected and diabetes-free individuals. CP may potentially be a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes in diabetes-free individuals. Interventional studies show that successful treatment of CP may improve metabolic control in people with diabetes in the short term.
Evaluation of the Simple Wetting Method to Reduce Total Cyanogens in Flaxseed

Title of thesis: Evaluation of the Simple Wetting Method to Reduce Total Cyanogens in Flaxseed Kathleen Suzanne Sanders, Masters of Nutrition and Food Science, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Robert Buchanan Department of Nutrition and Food Science A simple wetting method used to significantly reduce the % total cyanide remaining (TCR) in cassava was evaluated for its applicability to flaxseed. An optimal simple wetting method (SWM) in terms of time, temperature, and exposed surface area (SA) depth was developed for reducing the % TCR in ground flaxseed. The optimal parameters were a treatment time of 12 h, an ambient temperature of approximately 22C, and an increased exposed SA achieved through spreading the wetted flaxseed mixture out to a thin depth of 0.5 cm. General mixed model analysis confirmed that the variables time and SA were significant factors in minimizing the %TCR in the optimal model. Pairwise comparison showed that the 0.5 cm depth had the greatest effect. The desirable lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) was significantly retained, as determined by HPLC quantification of preand post-processing levels.
Use of the Principles of Design Thinking to Address Limitations of Digital Mental Health Interventions for Youth: Viewpoint

Numerous reviews and meta-analyses have indicated the enormous potential of technology to improve the appeal, effectiveness, cost, and reach of mental health interventions. However, the promise of digital mental health interventions for youth has not yet been realized. Significant challenges have been repeatedly identified, including engagement, fidelity, and the lack of personalization. We introduce the main tenets of design thinking and explain how they can specifically address these challenges, with an entirely new toolbox of mindsets and practices. In addition, we provide examples of a new wave of digital interventions to demonstrate the applicability of design thinking to a wide range of intervention goals. In the future, it will be critical for scientists and clinicians to implement their scientific standards, methods, and review outlets to evaluate the contribution of design thinking to the next iteration of digital mental health interventions for youth.
Chemical composition, FTIR Studies and Antibacterial Activity of Passiflora edulis f. edulis (Fruit)

Because of the strong interest in the use of bio-products as alternatives to chemically derived antibiotics or antimicrobial agents, passion fruits extracts were evaluated for their antibacterial activity and chemical composition. Various solvent extracts of P. edulis were screened for their antibacterial activity by Agar well diffusion technique against an array of pathogenic bacteria (Gram positive and negative). Macro dilution technique was used to determine the Minimum inhibitory concentration of the potent extracts. Bacterial strain showing significant inhibition was further subjected to scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and the morphological changes induced by extracts were noted. Chemical composition of extracts showing strong antibacterial activity was determined by GC-MS and FTIR analysis. Extracts of Passion fruit (pulp with seeds) show significant inhibitory effects against test isolates but in a variable manner. Amongst all the test isolates Bacillus subtilis showed maximum inhibition followed by E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Ethyl acetate extracts had the least activity against the tested microorganisms. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of ethanol extracts showed the presence of important chemicals, such as Tetracosamethyl-cyclododecasiloxane; Dodecanoic acid, 10-methyl-, methyl ester cyclosiloxane, hexadecamethyl; 3-isopropoxy-1,1,1,7,7,7-hexamethyl-3,5,5-tris (trimethylsiloxy)tetrasil; 9-hexadecenoic acid, 9-octadecenyl ester, (Z,Z)Fourier transform infrared studies revealed important functional groups which included phenols, esters, flavonoids, aromatic compounds, and alcohols. Significant antibacterial activity of the extracts could be attributed to phenolic compounds, esters and other chemical components identified in ethanolic extracts. Scanning electron micrographs of B. subtilis treated with ethanol extracts showed distorted shapes, rough and corrugated cell margins, and aggregations of cells. Our data depict the significant antimicrobial activity of extracts against Gram positive bacteria while the Gram negative bacteria exhibited weak inhibition by all the extracts. Based on our findings, passion fruits can be used in preparations of antimicrobial formulations against Gram positive microorganisms especially B. subtilis.
TOWARDS A DATA MODEL FOR PLM APPLICATION IN BIO-MEDICAL IMAGING

Bio-Medical Imaging (BMI) is currently confronted to data issues similar to those of the manufacturing industry twenty years ago. In particular, the need for data sharing and reuse has never been so strong to foster major discoveries in neuroimaging. Some data management systems have been developed to meet the requirements of BMI large-scale research studies. However, many efforts to integrate the data provenance along a research study, from the specifications to the published results, are to be done. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems are designed to comply with manufacturing industry expectations of providing the right information at the right time and in the right context. Consequently PLM systems are proposed to be relevant for the management of BMI data. From a need analysis led with the GIN research group, the BMI-LM data model is designed: it is PLM-oriented, generic (enabling the management of many types of data such as imaging, clinical, psychology or genetics), flexible (enabling users’ customisation) and it covers the whole stages of a BMI study from specifications to publication. The test implementation of the BMI-LM model into a PLM system is detailed. The preliminary feed-back of the GIN researchers is discussed in this paper: the BMI-LM data model and the PLM concepts are relevant to manage BMI data, but PLM systems interfaces are unsuitable for BMI researchers.
The spectral energy distributions of K+A galaxies from the UV to the mid-IR: stellar populations, star formation and hot dust

We present spectrum synthesis fits to 808 K+A galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and population synthesis of their spectral energy distributions, extending from the far UV (0.15 micron) to the mid IR (22 micron), based on the results of STARLIGHT code fitting to the SDSS spectra. Our modelling shows that K+A galaxies have undergone a large starburst, involving a median 50% of their present stellar masses, superposed over an older stellar population. The metal abundance of the intermediate-age stars shows that star formation did not take place in pristine gas, but was part of a dramatic increase in the star formation rates for originally gas-rich objects. We find no evidence for on-going QSO activity in the UV, which is well modeled by the emission of intermediate-age stars. We use K+A galaxies as local counterparts of high redshift objects to test for the presence of Thermally Pulsing AGB stars in similarly-aged populations and find no excess in the infrared due to emission from such stars, arguing that more distant galaxies are indeed old and massive at their redshift. All of our galaxies show significant excesses in the mid-IR compared to the light from their stars. We fit this ad hoc with a 300K blackbody. Possible sources include TP-AGB stars, obscured young star clusters and hidden AGNs, heating a significant dust component.
Emergence of Metallo- b- Lactamase producing Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruogenosa Urinary Tract Infection in Children

Infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates producing MetallobLactamase (MBL) is a serious worldwide infections. It is associated with, higher mortality rates, more severe disease implicated and with a higher incidence of invasive disease than infections with the bacterial isolate of MBLnonproducers. This bacteria disseminated in many countries worldwide, with no reports available about their presence in Iraq. The present study was conducted to investigate the changes and the intensity of antibiotics resistance pattern of pediatric urinary tract infection (UTI) in duration of 2 years as well as reporting the first emergence of MetallobLactamase producing P aerugenosa in Iraq. Standard methods used for isolation and identification of bacteria. Carbapenemresistance P. aeruginosa UTI isolates were tested for the presence of metallo-b-lactamases productino. This is the first report of the presence of Metallo-b-Lactamase producing P aerugenosa in Iraq region. The results showed no differences in resistance pattern among Gram positive bacteria isolated. While, their was a dramatic increase of Escherichia coli resistance which showed high sensitivity rate to cefotaxim (72.4%), recording an increasing rate of resistance by 12% during 2 years. Klebsiellae pneumoniae resistance profile were increased dramatically during 2 years to trimethoprim and cefotaxim to reach 30 % and 11% respectively, when compaired with our previous study. Regarding P. aeroginosae, there was further increase in resistance toward azithromycin, gentamicin and oxacillin by recording 14%, 11.6% and 11.6% of resistance rates respectively. The striking results of the present study was to find the resistant bacterial isolates of P. aeruginosae toward imipineme. Precisely, 4 (31.8%) out of 13 UTI isolates was found to be resistant to imipineme. In conclusion their was an different increasing resistance rates of isolates toward antibiotics, also an emergence of new MBL producing P. eaurogenosa. Keywards: MetallobLactamase, Pseudomonas eaurogenosa, UTI.
Tri- and Tetrahyperbolic Isofrequency Topologies Complete Classification of Bianisotropic Materials

We describe novel topological phases of isofrequency k-space surfaces in bianisotropic optical materials—tri- and tetrahyperbolic materials—which are induced by the introduction of chirality. This completes the classification of isofrequency topologies for bianisotropic materials, as we showed that all optical materials belong to one of the following topological classes—tetra-, tri-, bi-, mono-, or nonhyperbolic. We showed that phase transitions between these classes occur in the k-space directions with zero group velocity at high k-vectors. This classification is based on the sets of high-k polaritons (HKPs), supported by materials. We obtained the equation describing these sets and characterized the longitudinal polarization-impedance of HKPs.
1 Reasons for doing physical exercise mediating in the 2 role of self-esteem in uncontrolled eating in nursing 3 personnel 4

Background: Since the beginning of the 20th century, the importance of creating healthy 12 work environments and promoting the health of workers in the healthcare sector to create Healthy 13 and Resilient Organizations has been emphasized. In this context, self‐esteem is an essential 14 construct which influences health and healthy life styles, and therefore, the general wellbeing of 15 nurses. The objective of this study was to analyze the mediating role of reasons for exercising in the 16 effect that self‐esteem has on uncontrolled eating by nursing professionals. Methods: The sample 17 was made up of 1094 nurses who were administered the Rosenberg General Self‐esteem Scale, the 18 Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire and the Three‐Factor Eating Questionnaire‐R18. Results: 19 Bivariate correlation analysis and multiple mediation analysis showed that self‐esteem has direct 20 and indirect effects on uncontrolled eating. More so, self‐esteem predicts doing physical exercise to 21 improve one’s image, recognition and social affiliation, although the effects on uncontrolled eating 22 were only significant through image. Conclusions: The results have important practical implications 23 in the framework of Positive Occupational Health Psychology (POHP) as it emphasizes self‐esteem, 24 physical exercise and eating as essential aspects of the health and wellbeing of employees in the 25 healthcare sector, highlighting the importance of creating organizations committed to promoting 26 the psychosocial health of their workers. 27
