Prevalence of psychopathological features in South American prisons using the Personality Assessment Inventory

espanolLa informacion sobre la salud mental de la poblacion penitenciaria en paises con ingresos medios y bajos es reducida. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar la prevalencia actual de sintomas psiquiatricos y rasgos de personalidad patologicos en hombres que cumplen condena en dos prisiones ecuatorianas. Una muestra de 675 individuos, de 18 a 75 anos de edad (M= 35,58; DT= 10,57), fue evaluada con la adaptacion espanola del “Inventario de evaluacion de la personalidad” (PAI). La prevalencia actual fue del 69,9% en al menos uno de los sindromes clinicos estudiados. Los sindromes clinicos mas prevalentes fueron problemas con el alcohol (33,6%), mania (32,3%), problemas con las drogas (27,9%), rasgos antisociales (23,8%), paranoia (21,4%), esquizofrenia (19,5%) y quejas somaticas (17,7%). Ademas, se detecto comorbilidad en el 49,8% de la muestra. Los problemas con el alcohol y las drogas obtuvieron conjuntamente las mayores proporciones (55,8%-71,4%) del total de participantes con puntuaciones clinicamente relevantes en cada sindrome analizado. El estudio del efecto del contexto carcelario en la salud mental de los individuos potenciara la utilidad de estos hallazgos. EnglishThere is insufficient information available regarding the psychopathological characteristics of the prison population in low-middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the current prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and pathological personality traits among sentenced male prisoners from two Ecuadorian prisons. A sample of 675 individuals aged 18-75 years (M= 35.58, SD= 10.57) was assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI). Current prevalence was 69.9% for at least one of the studied clinical syndromes. The most prevalent clinical syndromes were Alcohol problems (33.6%), Mania (32.3%), Drug problems (27.9%), Antisocial features (23.8%), Paranoia (21.4%), Schizophrenia (19.5%), and Somatic complaints (17.7%). Comorbidity was found in 49.8% of the sample. Taken together, Alcohol problems and Drug problems accounted for the highest prevalence (55.8% to 71.4%) among individuals with clinically significant scores in each of the syndromes analyzed. Further studies regarding the influence of the variables related to the prison context on the mental health of inmates will increase the usefulness of the findings.
Study of Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus Co-infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Seropositive Cases

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the three common chronic viral infections seen in the world. The study was done to know the prevalence of co-infection with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in HIV infected persons. The specimen for study was the HIV positive samples from the blood samples sent to the serology lab of the Department of Microbiology. The actual study was the detection of HBsAg (Surface antigen of HBV) and antibodies to Hepatitis C virus in the HIV positive blood samples collected and preserved. The co-infection with Hepatitis B virus in HIV seropositive cases was 5.5%. The co-infection with Hepatitis C virus in HIV seropositive cases was 4.4%. None where co-infected with both
Antibacterial Property of Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Cement Against Streptococcus and Enterococcus

Background: Removal of endodontic infection is quite different from most other sites in the human body. Aim: To investigate the antibacterial property of biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate cement against Streptococcus and Enterococcus. Methods: Antibacterial activity of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate was evaluated by the agar diffusion method against E. faecalis and S. mutans among sixty patients. The experimental materials included 50 mg Biodentine and 50 mg mineral trioxide aggregate. The diameter of microbial inhibition zones around each well was measured to the closest size in mm with a digital caliper. Results: Biodentine produced 3.02±0.27 mm inhibition zone against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. This difference between the S. mutans and E. faecalis was not statistically significant. Sililarly Mineral trioxide aggregate produced 2.01±0.22 mm inhibition zone against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. Conclusion: Biodentine showed us encouraging results against Streptococcus and Enterococcus compared to mineral trioxide aggregate by creating higher inhibition zones.
Correlation of Impacted Mandibular Third Molar and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal- A Clinico Radiographic Study

Introduction: Mandibular third molar is commonly encountered impacted teeth. The present study aimed to assess relation of mandibular canal wit IANC. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 82 patients with impacted mandibular third molar of both genders requiring surgical extraction. Patients underwent OPG and CBCT. Images thus obtained were analyzed by oral and maxillofacial radiologist followed by classification of Michele. Results: Out of 82 patients, males were 48 and females were 34. Darkening of roots (DR) was seen in 14 males and 10 females, diversion of canal (DC) in 10 males and 6 females, narrowing of canal (NC) in 8 males and 5 females, presence of cortication in 10 males and 7 females and interruption of white line (IWL) in 6 males and 6 females. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Maximum number of subtype 3A relation was seen followed by subtype 1B, subtype 3A, subtype 3B, subtype 1A, subtype 4B etc. Conclusion: Authors found that impacted mandibular third molar surgery may lead to damage to inferior alveolar canal. Therefore a radiographic imaging with OPG and CBCT may be useful in preventing damage to the nerve.
Job Satisfaction in Banks: Significance of Emotional Intelligence and Workplace Environment

In the current scenario, banking sector is considered a fundamental backbone of every economy in developed and developing countries. The importance of banking was established as it performs major role in every domain of business, as well as in the development of the countries. Banking sector in Pakistan is gradually rising, however, employees in this sector are under a lot of stress due to excessive work load, extra working hours, and in some cases employment insecurity, that may lead to unsatisfactory performance at job. This study highlights the significant positive relationship between bankers’ job satisfaction level with their emotional intelligence and workplace environment. It also focuses on the effects that emotional intelligence and workplace environment might have on the banker’s job satisfaction level while discussing the contributing demographic factors. The cross-sectional correlational research design was implemented to conduct the study. The data was collected through questionnaire and online surveys from different private and public banking sector employees of Pakistan (Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad). The purposive sampling strategy was done in two stages, in the first stage, random selection of the branches of different public and private sector banks was completed. In the second one, a sample of 200 employees was selected for data collection according to the set inclusion criteria and their specific posted locations. The conclusions of the study suggested presence of a strong relationship between emotional intelligence, core components of emotional intelligence and workplace environment with job satisfaction of employees. Linear regression analysis indicated that emotional intelligence and workplace environment were the strong predictors of job satisfaction among employees, these variables accounted for 60 percent variance. Furthermore, mediation analysis demonstrated that workplace environment significantly mediate the relationship between the employees’ emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Limitations and implications of the study have also discussed.

Investigating Perpetration and Victimization Patterns: Profiling Typologies Associated to Mothers that Poison their Children

The following research study explored the patterns correlating to mothers that participate in the crime of poisoning their children. The data set investigated cases in which the mother was found culpable for participating in the poisoning of their children over the last 50 years throughout the United States; a total of 100 cases were gathered and examined. The objective for study was for the researchers to assess the data from a qualitative lens to ascertain perpetration patterns and plausible typologies that subsist amongst this offender population. The research design utilized to evaluate the cases included a data content analysis for the purpose of identifying perpetration patterns and victimization patterns of criminality. The data collected provided an innovative exploration of profiling and behavioral analysis patterns to employ for the establishment of baseline offender typologies and classifications of injurious behaviors alike.
Contagion and exposure between sovereign and nancial credit risk: A Delta Conditional approach to the ECB announcements in the European sovereign debt crisis

The timely identi cation of spillovers between the nancial and sovereign sectors is a crucial topic for preventing undergoing scenarios such as the European sovereign debt crisis. To assess the dependence between nancial and sovereign credit risk I employ Delta Conditional measures, ∆CoV aR and ∆CoES. These measures are mainly used in nancial sector for assessing the Systemically Important Financial Institutions but its application for analysing contagion to other sectors is almost non-existent so far. I use a copula approach with time-varying parameters for capturing changes in the tail dependence. The results show the importance of some measures taken by the ECB to reduce the exposure of the sovereign credit risk to the nancial sector and the in uence of the Greek referendum announcements on this relationship. I also show that the e ects of the policy measures in terms of spillover between sectors can be assessed accurately using Delta Conditional measures.
CBCT- A Boon for Implant Dentistry

The success of the treatment rendered depends on the accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning based on the fundamental principles. The inception of CBCT into Implant dentistry, along with its wide range of application such as in the evaluation of TMJ, assessment of pathologies in or affecting the bones, 3D reconstructions of the bones or in the fabrication of a prosthetic components of the face and jaws in the complex maxillofacial reconstructions has led to a tremendous impact on the confidence of the dentist in the intricate procedures like sinus lifts, ridge augmentations, extractions, and implant placements. This article gives an insight into the background, indications and benefits of CBCT in Prosthodontics and Image Guided Implantology.
Biblical, Pastoral and Theological Justification of the Church Involvement in Addressing the Problem of Alcohol and Drug Abuse with Reference To Presbyterian Church of East Africa

DOI: 10.21276/sjahss.2018. 6.12. 20 Abstract: Global statistics show persistence of alcohol and drug abuse among the youth. In response to this, religious organizations have come up with Programmes aimed at mitigating alcohol and drug abuse. However, the problem continues to persist despite the significant role religions play in the society. This study analyzed the Biblical, pastoral and theological justification of the Church’s involvement in addressing the problem of alcohol and drug abuse with reference to Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA). The target population was 2,835,000 members in the PCEA. The accessible population was the Church elders, Parish ministers, Presbytery moderators, the PCEA youth director and the youth members who included the youth abusing alcohol and drugs. Multistage Cluster sampling technique was used to select three PCEA regions from the five regions. Church elders, Parish ministers, youth members and PCEA presbytery moderators formed three clusters. Snowball sampling technique was used to get the youth who are abusing alcohol and drugs. Purposive sampling was used to select the youth director. The study had a total sample of 928 respondents. A descriptive survey research design was used to obtain qualitative data. Instruments for data collection were questionnaires, structured interview schedule and focus group discussions. Data collected using questionnaires was cleaned and coded for analysis using statistical package for social sciences. Tape recorded data from the interview was transcribed verbatim. Data was analyzed qualitatively. Data was presented using frequency tables and discussions. The study established that involvement of the PCEA in mitigating alcohol and drug abuse had Biblical, pastoral and theological justification. The study avers that the Bible warns against the use of alcohol and more specifically its intoxicating effect. The Bible commends selfcontrol with regard to alcohol. Parish ministers used Bible verses to explain that the bible forbids participating for the sake of personal pleasure, in practices that hinder moral judgment or weaken self-control.
Launching with a Parachute: The Gig Economy and Entrepreneurial Entry

The introduction of the gig economy creates opportunities for would-be entrepreneurs to supplement their income indownside states of the world, and provides insurance in the form of an income fallback in the event of failure. We present a conceptual framework supporting the notion that the gig economy may serve as an income supplement and as insurance against entrepreneurial-related income volatility, and utilize the arrival of the on-demand, platform-enabled gig economy in the form of the staggered rollout of ride hailing in U.S. cities to examine the effect of the arrival of the gig economy on entrepreneurial entry. The introduction of gig opportunities is associated with an increase of ~5% in the number of new business registrations in the local area, and correspondingly-sized increase in small business lending to newly registered businesses. Internet searches for entrepreneurship-related keywords increase ~7%, lending further credence to the predictions of our conceptual framework. Both the income supplement and insurance channels are empirically supported: the increase in entry is larger in regions with lower average income and higher credit constraints, as well as in locations with higher ex ante economic uncertainty regarding future wage levels and wage growth.
Role of changes in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the interaction with the human ACE2 receptor: An in silico analysis

Many human viral diseases are a consequence of a zoonotic event. Some of the diseases caused by these zoonotic events have affected millions of people around the world, some of which have resulted in high rates of morbidity/mortality in humans. Changes in the viral proteins that function as ligands of the host receptor may promote the spillover between species. The most recent of these zoonotic events that have caused an ongoing epidemic of high magnitude is the Covid-19 epidemics caused by SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this study was to determine the mutation(s) in the sequence of the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 that might be favoring human to human transmission. An in silico approach was performed, and changes were detected in the S1 subunit of the receptor-binding domain of spike. The observed changes have significant effect on SARS-CoV-2 spike/ACE2 interaction and produce a reduction in the binding energy, compared to the one of the Bat-CoV to this receptor. The data presented in this study suggest a higher affinity of the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein to the human ACE2 receptor, compared to the one of Bat-CoV spike and ACE2. This could be the cause of the rapid viral spread of SARS-CoV-2 in humans.
1 Enhancement of biomimetic enzymatic 2 mineralization of gellan gum polysaccharide 3 hydrogels by plant-derived gallotannins 4

Mineralization of hydrogel biomaterials with calcium phosphate (CaP) is considered 30 advantageous for bone regeneration. Mineralization can be both induced by the enzyme alkaline 31 phosphatase (ALP) and promoted by calcium-binding biomolecules such as plant-derived 32 polyphenols. In this study, ALP-loaded gellan gum (GG) hydrogels were enhanced enriched with 33 gallotannins, a subclass of polyphenols. Five preparations were compared, namely three tannic 34 acids of differing molecular weight (MW), pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) and a gallotannin-rich 35 extract from mango kernel (Mangifera indica L.). Certain gallotannin preparations promoted 36 mineralization to a greater degree than others. The various gallotannin preparations bound 37 differently to ALP and influenced the size of aggregates of ALP, which may be related to ability to 38 promote mineralization. Human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells grew in eluate from mineralized 39 hydrogels. Gallotannin incorporation impeded cell growth on hydrogels and did not impart 40 antibacterial activity. In conclusion, gallotannin incorporation aids mineralization but reduces 41 cytocompatibility. 42
Antifungal Effect of Spirulina Plantensis in Rat Tongue Mucosa

Aim: to investigate the antifungal effect of spirulina plantensis against candida albicans. Materials and methods: In the present study, we used 60 adult rats weighing between 150 and 200gm. The rats were divided into three equal groups: Group I: Animals served as controls, Group II: Animals were subjected to Candida albicans inoculation on the dorsal surface of the tongue and received systemic antibiotic treatment, Group III: Animals were subjected to Candida albicans inoculation on the dorsal surface of the tongue under systemic antibiotic treatment and then received 15 mg/kg body weight Spirulina platensis extract orally by gastric gavage daily. After 3 weeks, by cervical dislocation, animals of the three different groups were sacrificed. Tongue specimen were dissected from each rat and prepared for histological staining done with Haematoxylin & Eosin and transmission electron microscopic examination. Results: histological examination revealed atrophy of the lingual epithelium and the surface layers was infiltrated with candida yeasts in-group II while in Group III the papillae begin to regain their normal appearance with decreased infiltration of candida to the superficial layers. Ultrastucturely, showed normal appearance of different layers of the lingual epithelium in-group I. Group II: Candida albicans yeasts invaded the keratin layer. The different layers of the lingual epithelium appeared with severely widened intercellular spaces and destructed desmosomal junctions. Group III: keratin layer appeared with disappearance of candida spherical plastopores. The different layers of the lingual epithelium showed less widened intercellular spaces and less destructed desmosomal junctions. Conclusion: Spirulina plantensis can be useful against candida albicans instead of the traditional antifungal drug.
Assessment of Maize (Zea mays) seed Storage Techniques in West Guji Zone Southern Oromia, Ethiopia

The results of storage techniques assessment used by farmers for maize seed in West Guji Zone in three districts on different demographic characteristics households shows different outcomes on storage techniques effects and its quality preservation. Sem-structured questioners were used to collect pertinent information on farmers’ maize seed storage techniques and quality preservation from 300 households randomly selected. From survey result the participation of female headed household in agriculture production activities was very low in study areas whereas male headed household participation was 80%, 85% and 79% in Bule Hora, Abaya and Galana respectively. Extension service is the major sources of information in study areas for maize production practices. District bureau of agriculture the only means of formal seed sources, as a result farmers were used seed from informal sources of their own saved, relatives, market, and Neighbors. A different varieties utilized by communities such as Pioneer, BH540, BH660, local varieties and MH140. Most of farmers in study areas don’t separately store their seed from grain, those store separately use different storage structures such a; hanging on fire places, Gotera in or outside home and sack. Farmers were believed hung on fire places are more effective to keep seed quality but suffered from insect pest damage. Insect pest and disease are the major challenges they faced in storage and they are control by storing seed after dry and clean storage for those repeatedly used storage.
The Big Sink Local Fauna: a lower Pliocene mammalian fauna from the Wellington Caves complex, Wellington, New South Wales

This paper describes the mammalian fauna from the Big Sink unit, exposed in the Big Sink, a man-made 'doline' or quarry, which forms part of the Phosphate Mine at Wellington Caves, New South Wales. The age of the Big Sink Local Fauna is determined as early Pliocene by biocorrelation with radiometrically and palaeomagnetically dated faunas from Queensland, Victoria and the Murray Basin of N.s. W. Small mammals include a new species of dasyurid of uncertain generic identity, "Dasycerclls" worboysi; and unidentified species of Antechinlls and Sminthopsis; Perameles bowensis, known also from the Bow Local Fauna in northeastern N.s. W. , as well as an undescribed new genus and species of peramelid; an unidentified species of Cercartetus; Pselldocheirus sp. cf. P. stirtoni, and one conilurin rodent. Protemnodon sp. cf. P. devisi, a species otherwise known from Pliocene deposits in the Murray Basin, the Lake Eyre Basin and the Chinchilla Sands of Queensland, is the most abundant macropodine. Others include Protemnodon bandharr sp. nov.; a species of Kllrrabi, d. K. merriwaensis; and dental fragments representing four other undescribed macropodine species. Large carnivores are represented by Thylacinus sp. and Thylacoleo crassidentatlls. The high relative abundance of the ghost bat, Macroderma koppa, suggests that the site was originally a large cave which may have been occupied by a ghost bat maternal colony, and also acted as a carnivore den. None of the species so far recorded from the Big Sink Local Fauna occurs in historical fossil collections from Wellington Caves, nor in more recent collections from the Pleistocene-aged Mitchell Cave beds in Bone Cave and Cathedral Cave deposits, supporting the hypothesis that the Big Sink deposits differ in age from others in the caves complex. The fauna suggests a mesic climate and forested or woodland vegetation, but does not imply rainforest conditions.
