DNA barcoding of a tropical anguillid eel, Anguilla bicolor (Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes), in Indo-Pacific region and notes on its population structure

The tropical anguillid eel, Anguilla bicolor McCelland, 1844, includes two subspecies, Anguilla bicolor bicolor McCelland, 1844 and Anguilla bicolor pacifica Schmidt, 1928, and is distributed across the Indo-Pacific region. Although A. bicolor is widely distributed and recognized as an important fish resource in the Indo-Pacific region, few studies have been conducted on its genetic variation and population structure. DNA barcoding of A. bicolor specimens collected in the Indo-Pacific region was carried out in this study using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I. Anguilla bicolor was found to diverge genetically, which supported its classification into two different subspecies. In addition, our study showed that A. bicolor bicolor had two genetically distinct populations/groups, and these different populations co-occur geographically in Indonesia and Malaysia in the eastern Indian Ocean. Our findings suggest that the eel larvae might be transported from at least two geographically different spawning grounds in the Indian Ocean, and then recruited to and settled in the same habitats in Indonesian and Malaysian waters. The molecular evidence calls for further research on the life history, stock assessment and protection of the populations of A. bicolor bicolor in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Jordanian Pre-Service Physics Teacher s Misconceptions about Force and Motion

The objective of this study was to investigate the physics student-teachers misconceptions in force and motion concepts in Jordanian universities by using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) test and to identify the cause of misconceptions related to these concepts. Also, the FCI has been used to detect whether misconceptions vary according to gender, the geographical place of the university in Jordan, and students’ attitudes towards physics as a major. The study was conducted on (97) student-teachers attending to the different universities in Jordan. Data were analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA test. The results of the study indicated that physics student-teachers grasp high misconceptions about the impetus and active force. 20% of the students correctly answered the questions related to Newton’s third law. In addition, the differences among the studied universities were not statistically significant in the FCI test (F = 1.311 and p = 0.247). Based on the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC), there was no correlation between the GPA of the students at high school and their performance in the FCI test, whereas a significant correlation was found between the GPA of the students at university and their performance on the test. The results also demonstrated that the performance of the students on the test did not reflect significant differences in their major attitude as well as their gender at any University in Jordan. Thus, this study could be initiated with the aim of probing the Jordanian Universities attitudes towards learning Physics and their conceptual understanding of the Newtonian force concept in Physics.
University of Dundee Proteome-wide analysis of protein abundance and turnover remodelling during oncogenic transformation of human breast epithelial cells Ly,

Viral oncogenes and mutated proto-oncogenes are potent Background drivers of cancer malignancy. Downstream of the oncogenic trigger are alterations in protein properties that give rise to cellular transformation and the acquisition of malignant cellular phenotypes. Developments in mass spectrometry enable large-scale, multidimensional characterisation of proteomes. Such techniques could provide an unprecedented, unbiased view of how oncogene activation remodels a human cell proteome. : Using quantitative MS-based proteomics and cellular assays, we Methods analysed how transformation induced by activating v-Src kinase remodels the proteome and cellular phenotypes of breast epithelial (MCF10A) cells. SILAC MS was used to comprehensively characterise the MCF10A proteome and to measure v-Src-induced changes in protein abundance across seven time-points (1-72 hrs). We used pulse-SILAC MS ( ), to Boisvert . , 2012 et al compare protein synthesis and turnover in control and transformed cells. Follow-on experiments employed a combination of cellular and functional assays to characterise the roles of selected Src-responsive proteins. : Src-induced transformation changed the expression and/or turnover Results levels of ~3% of proteins, affecting ~1.5% of the total protein molecules in the cell. Transformation increased the average rate of proteome turnover and disrupted protein homeostasis. We identify distinct classes of protein kinetics in response to Src activation. We demonstrate that members of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) are important regulators of invasion and migration in MCF10A cells. Many Src-regulated proteins are present in low abundance and some are regulated post-transcriptionally. The signature of Src-responsive proteins is highly predictive of poor patient survival across multiple cancer types. Open access to search and interactively explore all these proteomic data is provided via the EPD database ( ). www.peptracker. com/epd : We present the first comprehensive analysis measuring how Conclusions 1-3* 1,2,4* 1,2 1,2
Engaging community and governmental partners in improving health and mental health outcomes for children and adolescents impacted by HIV/AIDS in Uganda

The African region remains the world’s most affected region in the HIV epidemic. A related consequence of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including in Uganda, is the high prevalence of children and adolescents who have lost one or both parents to this virus or who have been perinatally infected. Guided by the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability (PRISM) framework, this paper describes the strategies by which we have engaged community and government partners in research using three NIH-funded randomized clinical trials testing an evidence-based combination intervention aimed at improving health and mental health outcomes among children and adolescents impacted by HIV/AIDS in Uganda. We specifically lay out four strategies that have been used to facilitate stakeholder engagement, namely consultative meetings, stakeholder accountability meetings, training of key players (task-shifting), and policymaker engagement. We emphasize that community collaborations and partnerships are especially critical when implementing combination interventions that require a high level of communication and coordination among multiple implementation partners. We underline that building and sustaining long-term relationships and communication with the stakeholders can allow the researchers to successfully design rigorous studies that are responsive to local needs and can make a difference especially in low-resource settings. Finally, we highlight that the process of engagement and collaboration can be guided by conceptual frameworks.

No Lives Left: How Common Game Features Could Undermine Persistence, Challenge-Seeking and Learning to Program

: Persistence is necessary for learning, yet students have difficulty persisting at academic tasks, especially when faced with challenge. One context where students seem to persist is gameplay. This paper investigates whether an educational computer programming game can enhance student persistence and learning. Students were assigned to play either the Full version of a game, or a Minimal version of the game that ablated several common game features. Contrary to our hypotheses, we found that students who played the Full Game persisted less at challenging tasks, wrote less challenging code during gameplay, and were less willing to learn more about coding in the future. Ultimately, players of the Full Game also learned less than students who played the Minimal Game. Results suggest that certain design features of educational games can negatively impact a player’s approach to challenging learning tasks, which in turn can negatively impact learning.

This research was conducted during two baffling agricultural seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 at Kaha Vegetables Research Farm, Hort. Research Institute. , Agriculture Research Center, Egypt to study the stimulation of the potato plant's cv. Picasso ability to tolerance low temperature and improving tubers yield and qualities through appropriate agricultural practices in parallel with the addition of adequate fertilizers of NPK plus micro-nutrients spraying and some anti-stress substances. The experiment included eight treatments consisting of two fertilization treatments in main plots and four anti-stress as sub plots. The results indicate that treating plants with a suggested nutrients program, along with foliar spraying with some minor elements and some anti-stress, such as selenium plus vitamin C or vitamin E in addition to a commercial anti-stress compound led to stimulating the plant's ability to tolerance low temperature and improved plant growth. Anti-stress commercial compound at 100 ppm concentration exhibited the significant superiority in most of vegetative growth traits (stem length - average number of both stems and leaves as well as fresh weight of stems and leaves and reflected so positively on the total yield of tubers, quality characteristics and the percentage of tubers starch. Also, results indicate that the remainder of the treatments recorded significant differences and gave values that reached the level of significance in most of the characteristics of vegetative growth and yield and its components, compared to the control treatment, which recorded the lowest values of all studied traits. Conclusively, the recommended program for planting in the off-season growing cycles will give the highest yield due to the balanced fertilization and anti-stress /anti-oxidants, as well as, in the same time will take care of the tubers quality. So that, the tubers yield will gain the highest values of economic competition in locally and international markets and to contribute as a good source of hard currency for Egypt.
The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Caesarean Section at Noakhali Sadar, Bangladesh

Background: The present Caesarean section (C-Section) delivery rate is 33% in Bangladesh which is almost double what is recommended by the World Health Organization for each country. C-section delivery is related to surgical complications, thus increase the rate of hospitalization and reduce women’s quality of life. However, data on C-section delivery rates in different areas in this country are limited. Keeping this in mind, the objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with C-section deliveries in Noakhali district, Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 400 women of child-bearing age from Noakhali district, Bangladesh, who had either cesarean (215) or normal vaginal delivery (185) in the last two years using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 and frequency tabulation, binary and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to achieve the study objective. Results: The prevalence of C-Section in the study area was 53.75%, which was higher than the current Bangladeshi C-section prevalence rate. The most important predictors of C-section delivery among the study area were the mother’s nutritional status, education of the respondent and her husband, family income, normal representation of the fetus, prolong labor pain during delivery, delivery in a private facility, term delivery, and baby’s birth weight. The adjusted odds of undergoing C-section was higher among respondents who were overweight (AOR=6.53; CI=3.007 to 14.18), had LBW baby (AOR= 4.641; CI=2.066 to 10.42), family income more than or equal 20,000 (AOR =3.038; CI=1.056 to 8.743),prolong labor pain during delivery (AOR = 6.027; CI=2.829 to 12.84), performed delivery in private facility (AOR= 27.88; CI=11.55 to 67.33) and mal-presentation of the fetus (AOR = 6.867; CI=2.519 to 18.72). Conclusions: The health care system in Noakhali and other districts in Bangladesh urgently needs policy guidelines to monitor C-Section delivery indications to avoid high rates of unnecessary C-Section.

Considerable effects of imaging sequences, feature extraction, feature selection, and classifiers on radiomics-based prediction of microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma using magnetic resonance imaging.

Background Microvascular invasion (MVI) has a significant effect on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its preoperative identification is challenging. Radiomics features extracted from medical images, such as magnetic resonance (MR) images, can be used to predict MVI. In this study, we explored the effects of different imaging sequences, feature extraction and selection methods, and classifiers on the performance of HCC MVI predictive models. Methods After screening against the inclusion criteria, 69 patients with HCC and preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR images were enrolled. In total, 167 features were extracted from the MR images of each sequence for each patient. Experiments were designed to investigate the effects of imaging sequence, number of gray levels (Ng), quantization algorithm, feature selection method, and classifiers on the performance of radiomics biomarkers in the prediction of HCC MVI. We trained and tested these models using leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). Results The radiomics model based on the images of the hepatobiliary phase (HBP) had better predictive performance than those based on the arterial phase (AP), portal venous phase (PVP), and pre-enhanced T1-weighted images [area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) =0.792 vs. 0.641/0.634/0.620, P=0.041/0.021/0.010, respectively]. Compared with the equal-probability and Lloyd-Max algorithms, the radiomics features obtained using the Uniform quantization algorithm had a better performance (AUC =0.643/0.666 vs. 0.792, P=0.002/0.003, respectively). Among the values of 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128, the best predictive performance was achieved when the Ng was 64 (AUC =0.792 vs. 0.584/0.697/0.677/0.734, P<0.001/P=0.039/0.001/0.137, respectively). We used a two-stage feature selection method which combined the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and recursive feature elimination (RFE) gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), which achieved better stability than and outperformed LASSO, minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR), and support vector machine (SVM)-RFE (stability =0.967 vs. 0.837/0.623/0.390, respectively; AUC =0.850 vs. 0.792/0.713/0.699, P=0.142/0.007/0.003, respectively). The model based on the radiomics features of HBP images using the GBDT classifier showed a better performance for the preoperative prediction of MVI compared with logistic regression (LR), SVM, and random forest (RF) classifiers (AUC =0.895 vs. 0.850/0.834/0.884, P=0.558/0.229/0.058, respectively). With the optimal combination of these factors, we established the best model, which had an AUC of 0.895, accuracy of 87.0%, specificity of 82.5%, and sensitivity of 93.1%. Conclusions Imaging sequences, feature extraction and selection methods, and classifiers can have a considerable effect on the predictive performance of radiomics models for HCC MVI.
BIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON SOME HEREBS FOR HYPERLEPIDMIC RATS

Reducing intake of saturated fat, dietary cholesterol and avoiding excess calories, which can lead to obesity, remain the cornerstone of the dietary approach to decreasing risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease. During the past 20 years, there has been renewed interest in other dietary components that might favorably improve lipid profiles and reduce risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Herbs, rich sources dietary fiber, have sparked intense interest in both epidemiological studies, which suggest a favorable effect on CHD, and metabolic ward studies, which show a striking improvement in lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic patients. This research aimed to study the biological properties of Portulacaoleracea, Asparagus officinalis Medicago sativa and Elettaria cardamomum onhyperlipidemic rats. Thirty male albino rats (30 female) , weighing 140 ±10 g were divided into 6 groups and administered 10% of tested herbs daily for 28 days. Blood samples were taken from each rat and tested for total cholesterol, (LDL),(HDL), triglycerides, liver enzymes activities, kidney functions, LH and PRL hormones. Results showed that triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and liver enzymes activities (AST and ALT) were significantly increased, while HDL was significantly decreased in positive control group compared with the negative control rats. Treating hyperlipidemic rats with 10% Portulacaoleracea, Asparagus officinalis,Medicago sativa and Elettaria cardamomum in hyperlipidemic diet caused a significant improvement in these biochemical measures and the best results were achieved by using basal diet with 10% Portulacaoleracea. So, it could be concluded that Elettariaca rdamomum and Portulaca oleracea were the most useful for hyperlipidemic patients and for the prevention of heart disease and hardening of the arteries.
