REPRODUCTIVE RESPONSES OF MULTIPAROUS HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN DAIRY CATTLE WITH FOLLICULAR CYSTS TO GnRH OR FURTHER OVSYNCH PROTOCOL AND WITH LUTEAL CYSTS TO PGF2α OR FURTHER 12-DAY PRESYNCH PROTOCOL

1 Research and Development Station for Cattle Breeding, Dancu, Iaşi, Romania 2 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Iaşi, Romania ABSTRACT. Ovarian cysts, estimated as the most frequent ovarian disorder in dairy cattle, can impact the economic aspect and trigger serious loss by affecting the reproductive performance. However, treatment strategies for ovarian cysts in dairy cattle are disputed, as some researchers favour the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for all cysts, whereas others recommend this treatment only for follicular cysts, with prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) for luteal cysts, but not all of the dairy cattle responded to these regimes. Other studies mention a spontaneous recovery for some of the dairy cattle that present this disorder. However, the Ovsynch protocol appears to be the most used for treating ovarian follicular cysts, despite low pregnancy rates. Thus, this study’s main purpose is to assess by analogy the reproductive efficiency of multiparous dairy cattle with follicular cysts after treatment with a recommended dose of GnRH or a further Ovsynch protocol, and of cattle with luteal cysts after PGF2α or a further 12-day Presynch protocol, by comparing the reproductive responses between treated and non-treated cattle. It is remarkable that ten of the dairy cattle diagnosed with ovarian cysts recovered spontaneously without any hormonal intervention, but the reproductive performance indicates that treatment should be started as soon as the condition is diagnosed. Compared with other studies, our approach improved the conception (82.4% and 64.3%, respectively) and pregnancy rates (53.8% and 50%, respectively) in both follicular and luteal cysts.
Agency theory , monitoring problems , and tax morale : effects on tax collection in municipalities

The research analyzed the effect of agency problems on the collection of the Inter Vivos Property Transfer Tax (ITBI) in Brazilian municipalities, considering the conflicts between the collecting agent (notaries) and the principal (City Halls). The study considers the fact that local governments manage the ITBI with total discretion, and assumes that lack of control associated with problems of regulation, enforcement, and inefficient collection mechanisms may cause losses in tax collection, which could be aggravated by agency problems. An online questionnaire was used to obtain data on ITBI collection from notaries, which were then compared with data from Brazilian municipalities, considering their revenues from this specific tax from 1998 to 2018. The results show that agency problems combined with a low perception of control possibly leads to reduction in the collection of ITBI.
Estrogen receptor b1 exerts antitum oral effects on SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells

Estrogen receptor (ER) b1 and its splice variants are expressed both in ovary and ovarian cancer. We studied the role of ERb1 and two of its splice variants in regulation of gene expression, cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of an ovarian cancer cell line. In this study, we transfected SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells with vectors coding for ERb1 or its splice variants ERb-d125 and ERb-d1256, and tested their response to estrogen and tamoxifen in comparison with the untransfected cells. Heterologous expression of ERb1, but not of the exon-deleted ERb variants resulted in notably slower cell growth of SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells, an effect Journal of Endocrinology (2007) 193, 421–433 0022–0795/07/0193–421 q 2007 Society for Endocrinology Printed in Great accompanied by more than tenfold increase of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1) transcript levels and a significant reduction of cyclin A2 mRNA levels. SK-OV-3 cells stably overexpressing ERb1 ligand independently also exhibited an increased apoptosis rate and a significantly decreased motility, an effect accompanied by upregulation of fibulin 1c. Our data demonstrate that ERb1, but not the exon-deleted isoforms tested exerts multiple antitumoral effects on SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells even in the absence of estradiol or functional ERa.

The mesoscale structure and evolution of a rainband that occurred on 24 June 2001 in the downstream region of the Yangtze River and produced heavy rainfall as much as 110 mm within only two hours in a limited area were studied through detailed analyses of upper-air, surface, and triple-Doppler radar data. The rainband evolved on the north side of a surface Meiyu front. It was oriented in a northeastsouthwest direction nearly parallel to the mean storm motion and the low-level vertical shear. The rainband lasted more than 5 hours and propagated slowly southeastward. The environmental conditions ahead of the rainband were characterized by extraordinary stability below and significant conditional instability in a deep layer above the frontal surface that was approximately 0.5 km above the ground. It was found that significant amount of convective available potential energy (1179–370 J kg ) could be realized by lifting air parcels in a deep layer (0.7–2.5 km) above the frontal surface. The rainband formed as a core of the storm-relative northeasterly inflow associated with the largescale environment appeared on the backside around an altitude of 4 km. The rapid development of the rainband was associated with the surge of another storm-relative northeasterly inflow from the rear around an altitude of 2 km. The latter inflow appeared to be related to the development of a mesoscale vortex after the formation of the rainband. The air that fed the updrafts of the rainband came from an elevated layer above the frontal surface, rather than from the boundary layer.

E-mail: bgeng@jamstec.go. jp ( 2004, Meteorological Society of Japan downdrafts at low-levels were shallow and weak during the formation and development of the rainband and strong outflows under the rainband were absent. It is likely that the horizontal convergence enhanced by the northeasterly inflow around an altitude of 4 km was important in the formation of the rainband by lifting the elevated air that possessed conditional instability. Meanwhile, the lifting of the most unstable air in the vertical column of the atmosphere by the northeasterly inflow around an altitude of 2 km would have aided the rapid development of the rainband and the heavy rainfall.
Hepatitis B Virus Infection among Resident Physicians and Nurses in Tertiary Hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most dangerous type of viral hepatitis that causes a potentially life-threatening liver infection and leads to chronic liver disease and liver cancer [1]. HBV infection is a global public health problem and the tenth leading cause of death globally [2]. According to some estimates, nearly 2 billion people are infected with the hepatitis B virus worldwide, resulting in 400 million people worldwide infected with this chronic disease. Besides, more than a million deaths due to liver disease occur in the end stage, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer (HCC) every year [3]. Hepatitis virus endemicity was estimated to be high in Yemen, Abstract
Investor Sentiment Risk and Asset Pricing Anomalies

We investigate the role of investor sentiment as a risk factor in stock returns. The average return differential is 1.48% (0.75%) per month between the decile portfolis with the highest positive (most negative) sentiment beta and that with zero sentiment beta. The sentiment factor, SMN, has statistically significant average returns ranging from 1.36% to 0.67% per month, and commands a positive and statistically significant risk premium. Consistent with the theory that sentiment creates a risk in addition to fundamental risk, the sentiment-augmented asset-pricing models always explain the size effect, and conditional models often capture the size, value and momentum effects.

Paying for loot boxes is linked to problem gambling, regardless of specific features such as cash-out and pay-to-win

Loot boxes are items in video games that may be bought with real-world money but contain randomised contents. Due to similarities between loot boxes and gambling, various countries are considering regulating them to reduce gambling-related harm. However, loot boxes are extremely diverse. A key problem facing regulators is determining whether specific types of loot boxes carry more potential for harm, and should be regulated accordingly. In this study, we specify seven key ways that loot boxes may differ from each other: They may involve paid or unpaid openings; give opportunities for cashing out; allow gamers to pay to win; involve the use of an in-game currency; feature crate and key mechanics; show near misses; and contain exclusive items. We then use a large-scale preregistered correlational analysis (n=1200) to determine if any of these features strengthen the link between loot box spending and problem gambling. Our results indicate that being able to cash out, showing near-misses, and letting players use in-game currency to buy loot boxes may weakly strengthen the relationship between loot box spending and problem gambling. However, our main conclusion is that regardless of the presence or absence of specific features of loot boxes, if they are being sold to players for real-world money, then their purchase is linked to problem gambling.
WHO ARE YOU IN AZEROTH?

World of Warcraft is one of the most popular and most successful MMORPGs of all times played by millions of players from all over the world. The game offers its players a huge fantasy universe with extensive and compelling storylines, in which players have the freedom to be and to do whatever they want to. This comes at a price, as players are required to pay a monthly subscription fee in order to play the game. The game also requires a lot of time and commitment of its players. People who invest their time, money and effort in a game like World of Warcraft are often the victim of negative stereotypes regarding gaming and its consequences on players and society. Yet, what has often been neglected is that gaming can bring a lot of joy as well as positive consequences to its players, because players are driven by a motivation and consciously select and play this game in order to fulfill certain individual needs. Players have to create a character in order to play World of Warcraft, which mainly consists of choosing a race and a class. The game’s latest expansion has offered many new options for this character creation on which recent research has not been done yet. To contribute to the gap in the academic field and to emphasize the positivity of gaming, this thesis aimed to analyze players’ motivations behind the creation of their character’s race and class in World of Warcraft. It also explores players’ persistence in playing the game and how this relates back to players’ motivations and characters. This research was done through participant observations and semi-structured online chat interviews. The data was then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify themes. The results have shown that players create their characters in ways that match their motivations to play the game as well as a certain need for identification with the character. Players with strong social interaction, escapism and immersion motivations have expressed strong identifications with their characters and selected a race and class that was either very similar to the player or that reflected an identity the player wanted to experiment with, which helped to conform to their motivations to play. Players with strong challenge and competition motivations have expressed weak to no identifications with their characters and generally selected a race and class based on strategical reasons in order to conform to their challenge and competition motivations. Persistence has shown that players continue to play the game because of the satisfaction of the needs for relatedness, competence, autonomy and meaningful context, as well as the joy that derived from their gratified motivations. This has shown that, in contrast to the negative assumptions around gaming, players actively choose to play WoW and create their character in a way to fulfill certain individual needs, which is beneficial to the players and shows that gaming also has positive consequences on its players.

Diathermy versus Scalpel in Abdominal Skin Incisions: Systematic Review

Objectives: To compare the use of diathermy versus scalpel in abdominal skin incisions to see the variations in post operative pain, incision time, incision blood loss and wound complication rate. Background: Surgical scalpels are traditionally used for making skin incisions during abdominal surgical operations. The great evolutions in the electrosurgical devices nowadays bring an alternative method for making skin incision by the usage of diathermy skin incision. Data Sources: Medline databases (Cochrane reviews, PubMed, Medscape, Science Direct) and all materials available in the Internet from 2011 to 2017. Study Selection: The initial search presented 157 articles of which 8 met the inclusion criteria. The articles were randomized controlled trials compared the use of surgical scalpel versus cutting diathermy in making skin incisions during abdominal operations. Data Extraction: If the studies did not fulfill the inclusion criteria, they were excluded. Study quality assessment included whether ethical approval was gained, eligibility criteria specified, appropriate controls, adequate information and defined assessment measures. Data Synthesis: Comparisons were made by structured review with the results tabulated. Findings: The studies indicated that cutting diathermy could be accepted as an alternative method for abdominal skin incisions. Conclusion: The studies stated that, the use of diathermy in skin incision during abdominal surgical operations was associated with less blood loss and shorter incision time than the scalpel skin incision. No increase in the postoperative pain and wound complications rate reported with the use of cutting diathermy for abdominal skin incisions.

Association of the components of metabolic syndrome with the circulating levels of cytokine clusters in young women.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between circulating zinc α 2-glycoprotein (ZAG), Irisin, betatrophin and adiponectin concentrations and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and to analyze the effects of blood glucose and insulin on these cytokine concentrations in vivo. METHODS A total of 196 young women, including 78 healthy women and 118 women with MetS components, were recruited for this cross-sectional study. An oral glucose tolerance test and euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp (EHC) were performed in healthy subjects and women with MetS components. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to measure serum ZAG, irisin, betatrophin, and adiponectin levels, and their relationship with the MetS components was analyzed. RESULTS In women with MetS components, circulating irisin and betatrophin levels were significantly higher than those in the healthy women, but circulating ZAG and adiponectin levels were significantly lower . FBG, WC, and Triglyceride were significantly correlated with the circulating levels of these four cytokines (p < 0.001 or < 0.05). All four cytokines were associated with MetS and its components. In response to increasing insulin levels, circulating ZAG concentrations were markedly increased in both healthy subjects and women with MetS components during the EHC. However, serum irisin, betatrophin, and adiponectin levels in both healthy subjects and women with MetS components were significantly reduced compared with baseline. CONCLUSION Serum ZAG, Irisin, betatrophin and adiponectin were associated with MetS and might be biomarkers for screening MetS components.
Are Asian Countries Converging?

This paper analyzes the convergence in per capita GDP among the 17 Asian countries over the period 1960-1992. We use a dynamic random variables model which allows for both country differences and similarities to enter into the analysis of growth and convergence and also correct for heteroskedastic and correlated error terms over time and country panel data. We find evidence in favor of regional convergence in 17 Asian countries with a rate of convergence of around 2% a year.
Fluidic Molecular Processing and Interfacing Devices

We study fluidic processing devices and interfacing modules to perform data processing, interfacing and other related tasks utilizing molecular electrochemomechanical transitions and interactions. We consider various fluidic devices as modular primitives in order to: (i) Develop and examine alternative processing paradigms typifying natural processing platforms; (ii) Interface microapparatuses with biomolecular and natural systems establishing a sound micro-bio interface. Data processing and memory storage by fluidic devices cannot be equated to information processing exhibited by living systems. However, the proposed solution contributes to the natural and molecular data processing, memories, communication and interfacing. The fluidic devices are examined studying the synthesis issues, electrochemomechanical transitions, control of microscopic particles, etc. The device physics, expected performance and functionality are reported and discussed.
