Blood Biochemical Profiles and Pregnancy Rate of Brahman Crossbred Cows Supplemented with Mineral Mixture

Corresponding Author: Mohammad Sofi’ul Anam Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Indonesia Email: m.sofiul. a@mail.ugm. ac.id Abstract: The investigation was expected to assess various mineral mixture supplementation impacts on Brahman crossbred cows' blood biochemical, hematological profiles and pregnancy rate. This study used ninety Brahman crossbred cows divided into three dietary treatment groups (n = 30/group). The dietary treatments were: Concentrate and rice straw only as control treatment; control diet + mineral mixture A-formulation as MM-A treatment; and control diet + mineral mixture B-formulation as MM-B treatment. The concentration of MM-B (including calcium, phosphor, cobalt, copper, sulphur, potassium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, sodium, selenium and iron) was higher than MM-A. The mineral mixture was added to 0.5 kg/100 kg of diet. The concentrate mix and rice straw were restricted to 3 kg and 20 kg/day (as-fed basis). Feeding treatment was conducted until four months. Blood sampling and estrous synchronization were carried out after three weeks of dietary treatments. The estrous synchronization aimed to equate the estrous cycle of each cow by using 25 mg prostaglandin F2α (LutalyseTM) (injection via intramuscular). Estrous signs were observed two days after synchronization. Artificial insemination was conducted at ten to twelve hours from estrous detection, inseminated with post-thawed frozen Belgian Blue bull sperm. Transrectal palpation was used to diagnose the cow's pregnancy 90 days after artificial insemination. The serum samples were analyzed for blood biochemical, hematology and mineral status. The results showed that MM-B supplementation significantly increased (p<0.05) serum calcium, phosphor, selenium and iron. There were no significant differences in serum glucose, total protein, albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen and hematological profile. The pregnancy rate in MM-B treatment was higher than MM-A and control treatment. The pregnancy rate in the MM-B treatment (20.7%) was higher than control (6.67%) and MM-A treatment (3.33%). It was concluded that mineral mixture supplementation improved the pregnancy rate and several blood components on Brahman Crossbred cows.
How do I know who I am? Academic professional development, peer support, and identity for practitioners who teach

ABSTRACT Workplace preparation is increasingly part of university curricula and this has led to the appointment of staff with professional practice expertise being appointed to teach, who are experienced professionals yet HE novices. How do they make sense of HE’s expectations and begin to reconcile their identity as educators with the credibility their practice expertise confers? The paper draws on sociocultural perspectives of Communities of Practice, framing identity development as a process of intertwined trajectories between the different communities an individual is involved with. It seeks to illuminate the affective impact of socialisation experiences and implications for academic development.
Chondrocyte Implantation for Treatment of Articular Cartilage

Background: Because articular chondrocyte-based Autologous Chondrocyte Implantations (ACIs) have restrictively restored articular cartilage defects, alternative cell sources as a new therapeutic option for cartilage repair have been introduced. Purpose: To assess whether implantation of a Costal Chondrocyte–Derived Pellet-Type (CCP) ACI allows safe, functional, and structural restoration of full-thickness cartilage defects in the knee. Study Design Case series: Level of evidence, Methods: In this first-in-human study, 7 patients with symptomatic, full-thickness cartilage lesions were enrolled. The chondrocytes isolated from the patients’ costal cartilage were expanded, followed by 3-dimensional pellet culture to prepare the CCP-ACI. Implantation of the pellets was performed via minimal arthrotomy and secured with a fibrin sealant. Clinical scores, including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective, Lysholm, and Tegner activity scores, were estimated preoperatively and at 1, 2, and 5 years postoperatively. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging was also performed to evaluate cartilage repair as well as to calculate the MOCART (magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue) score. Results: The costal chondrocytes of all patients formed homogeneous-sized pellets, which showed the characteristics of the hyaline cartilaginous tissue with lacunae-occupied chondrocytes surrounded by glycosaminoglycan and type II collagen-rich extracellular matrix. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events during the 5-year follow-up period. Significant improvements were seen in all clinical scores from preoperative baseline to the 5-year follow-up (IKDC subjective score, 34.67 to 75.86; Lysholm score, 34.00 to 85.33; Tegner activity score, 1.17 to 4.67; and MOCART score, 28.33 to 83.33). Two patients had complete defect filling on magnetic resonance imaging evaluation at 1 year. Moreover, at 5 years postoperatively, complete defect filling was observed in 4 patients, and hypertrophy or incomplete defect filling (50%-100%) was observed in 2 patients. Conclusion: The overall results of this clinical study suggest that CCP-ACI can emerge as a promising therapeutic option for articular cartilage repair with good clinical outcomes and structural regeneration and with stable results at midterm follow-up.
Unsupervised constrained community detection via self-expressive graph neural network

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are able to achieve promising performance on multiple graph downstream tasks such as node classification and link prediction. Comparatively lesser work has been done to design GNNs which can operate directly for community detection on graphs. Traditionally, GNNs are trained on a semi-supervised or self-supervised loss function and then clustering algorithms are applied to detect communities. However, such decoupled approaches are inherently sub-optimal. Designing an unsupervised loss function to train a GNN and extract communities in an integrated manner is a fundamental challenge. To tackle this problem, we combine the principle of self-expressiveness with the framework of self-supervised graph neural network for unsupervised community detection for the first time in literature. Our solution is trained in an end-to-end fashion and achieves state-of-the-art community detection performance on multiple publicly available datasets.

SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE FOURTEENTH REGULAR SESSION Busan, Republic of Korea 8-16 August 2018 Pacific stock structure of the Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) resolved with next generation sequencing WCPFC-SC14-2018/ EB-IP-04

The silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) is subject to the second highest shark catch rates on the planet (Oliver et al. 2015) and stock assessments have found that some populations are overfished and that overfishing is still occurring (Rice and Harley 2013). Currently this species is managed as a single stock across the WCPFC jurisdiction due to a lack of information regarding stock structure. In this study, 298 silky sharks were sampled from across 5 regions of the Pacific Ocean, including off the coast of Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, the South Central Pacific, the North Central Pacific, and the Eastern Pacific. DNA sequence data included the entire mitochondrial genome as well as thousands of nuclear loci using pooled next generation sequencing. Nuclear markers yielded significant population structure between all five regions (significant FST = 0.0188 0.0421), and mitochondrial markers supported most of these differences (significant FST = 0.0117 0.0572). These analyses demonstrate multiple stocks within the WCPFC jurisdiction and provide a scientific foundation for formulating more appropriate management units for silky sharks across the Pacific.
A Novel Model for Predicting the Death Risk of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury during Hospitalization

BACKGROUND: Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) often presents with extracranial injuries, which may contribute to fatal outcome. The aim of this study was to construct the best death prediction model for sTBI and provide a feasible basis for early prognosis. METHODS: A retrospective study from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2012 to September 2020 was performed. Relevant risk factors at admission and record survival were collected at discharge. Logistic regression was used to establish a death prediction model. The performance of the model was predicted by fitting goodness test and calculating the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The DCA curve was used to show the net benefit rate of patients. RESULTS: Of the 190 patients with sTBI, 91 died during hospitalization, with a mortality rate of 47.8 percent. Pupillary dilation, occipital lobe injury, SAH, cerebral hernia, and APACHE II score could predict the probability of death alone, with AUC of 0.636, 0.595, 0.611, 0.599 and 0.621 respectively. The AUC of death prediction for patients with sTBI was 0.860, and its sensitivity and specificity were 88.60% and 81.60%. The calibration and decision curve analysis (DCA) were conducted to validate the performance and clinical value of the novel model. CONCLUSIONS: The clinic-radiomic model incorporating both clinical factors and radiomic signature showed good performance for mortality risk prediction of sTBI. The predictive model can identify sTBI with high sensitivity and can be applied in patients with sTBI.

A Nomogram for the Prognosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma with MR Imaging-Detected Tumor Residue at the End of Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy

Objective: This study set out to institute an effective nomogram to predict the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected residual tumor at the end of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Background: This study retrospectively analyzed the prognostic factors of NPC using MRI-detected residual tumor at the end of IMRT, in order to individualize the treatment of patients with poor prognosis as early as possible. Methods: Overall, 162 NPC patients with local or regional residual tumor at the end of IMRT were retrospectively analyzed. Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis using the backward stepwise method, a nomogram was generated to predict the prognosis of these patients. Identi ﬁ cation, calibration, clinical applicability and reproducibility were evaluated by C-index, time-dependent AUC, calibration curve and bootstrap veri ﬁ cation. According to the best cut-off value of total score of prognoses calculated by X-tile software, all patients were separated into either low-risk or high-risk group. Results: The nomogram identi ﬁ ed age, chemotherapy, N stage, lymph nodes necrosis are signi ﬁ cant predictors of prognosis. The AUC of the prediction model is 0.754, and the consistency index is 0.724 (95% con ﬁ dence interval is 0.659 – 0.788). The model has good discrimination ability. Through bootstrapping test, the consistency index, corrected slope was 0.723, 0.861, respectively. The calibration slope of predicting 3-year and 5-year overall survival was 1.006 and 1.071, respectively. The calibration curve showed satisfactory calibration effect and good net bene ﬁ t. The best cut-off value of total score of prognoses calculated by X-tile software was 149.1. Kaplan – Meier survival curve showed that OS and DMFS in the high-risk group were substantially reduced compared to those in the low-risk group. Conclusion: We constructed and validated a new nomogram to help clinicians understand the prognosis of NPC patients with residue at the end of IMRT. With an estimate of the individual risk, clinicians can start treatment decisions as early as possible for high-risk patients with poor prognosis.
A Kinetic Study of the Saturation of the Bell Instability

The nonresonant cosmic ray instability, predicted by Bell (2004), is thought to play an important role in the acceleration and confinement of cosmic rays (CR) close to supernova remnants. Despite its importance, the exact mechanism responsible for the saturation of the instability has not been determined, and there is no first-principle prediction for the amplitude of the saturated magnetic field. Using a survey of self-consistent hybrid simulations (with kinetic ions and fluid electrons), we study the non-linear evolution of the Bell instability as a function of the parameters of the CR population. We find that saturation is achieved when the magnetic pressure in the amplified field is comparable to the initial CR momentum flux.

The Flow-Performance Relationship: Evidence from Pakistani Mutual Funds

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT History Revised format: February 2020 Available Online: March 2020 The we use the novel sample of Pakistani mutual funds to examine the flow performance relationship. We apply linear regression model with fixed effect on unbalanced panel data for the period of 2012 to 2018. Consistence with the existence literature using sample of US and other developed countries ,we find positive flowperformance relationship , but the prior performance do not have larger impact on subsequent fund flows. Our results also exhibit that the shape of the relationship is not linear; it’s convex like other developed countries. In other words, the past high performing funds attracts larger inflow in the next periods whereas the past low performing fund suffer from minimal out flow in the next period.
Efficient greedy coordinate descent via variable partitioning

Greedy coordinate descent (GCD) is an efﬁcient optimization algorithm for a wide range of machine learning and data mining applications. GCD could be signiﬁcantly faster than randomized coordinate descent (RCD) if they have similar per iteration cost. Nevertheless, in some cases, the greedy rule used in GCD cannot be efﬁciently implemented, leading to huge per iteration cost and making GCD slower than RCD. To alleviate the cost per iteration, the existing solutions rely on maximum inner product search (MIPS) as an approximate greedy rule. But it has been empirically shown that GCD with approximate greedy rule could suffer from slow convergence even with the state-of-the-art MIPS algorithms. We propose a hybrid coordinate descent algorithm with a simple variable partition strategy to tackle the cases when greedy rule cannot be implemented efﬁciently. The convergence rate and theoretical properties of the new algorithm are presented. The proposed method is shown to be especially useful when the data matrix has a group structure. Numerical experiments with both synthetic and real-world data demon-strate that our new algorithm is competitive against RCD, GCD, approximate GCD with MIPS and their accelerated variants.
The influence of vegetation water dynamics on the ASCAT backscatter-incidence angle relationship in the Amazon

Abstract. Microwave observations are sensitive to plant water content and could therefore provide essential information on biomass and plant water status in ecological and agricultural applications. The combined data record of the C-band scatterometers on ERS 1/2, the Metop series and the planned Metop Second Generation satellites will span over 40 years, which would provide a long-term perspective on the role of vegetation in the climate system. Recent research has indicated that the unique viewing geometry of ASCAT could be exploited to observe vegetation water dynamics. The incidence angle dependence of backscatter can be described with a second order polynomial, the slope and curvature of which are related to vegetation. In a study limited to grasslands, seasonal cycles, spatial patterns and interannual variability in the slope and curvature were found to vary among grassland types and were attributed to differences in moisture availability, growing season length and phenological changes. To exploit ASCAT slope and curvature for global vegetation monitoring, their dynamics over a wider range of vegetation types needs to be quantified and explained in terms of vegetation water dynamics. Here, we compare ASCAT data with meteorological data and GRACE Equivalent Water Thickness (EWT) to explain the dynamics of ASCAT backscatter, slope and curvature in terms of moisture availability and demand. We consider differences in the seasonal cycle, diurnal differences, and the response to the 2010 and 2015 droughts across ecoregions in the Amazon basin and surroundings. Results show that spatial and temporal patterns in backscatter reflect moisture availability indicated by GRACE EWT. Slope and curvature dynamics vary considerably among the ecoregions. The evergreen forests, often used as a calibration target, exhibit very stable behaviour even under drought conditions. The limited seasonal variation follows changes in the radiation cycle, and may indicate phenological changes such as litterfall. In contrast, the diversity of land cover types within the Cerrado region results in considerable heterogeneity in terms of the seasonal cycle and the influence of drought on both slope and curvature. Seasonal flooding in forest and savanna areas also produced a distinctive signature in terms of the backscatter as a function of incidence angle. This improved understanding of the incidence angle behaviour of backscatter increases our ability to interpret and make optimal use of the ASCAT data record and VOD products for vegetation monitoring.
Patterns of Arterial Arcades of the Superficial Palmar Arch: A Study In Embalmed Cadaver Palms

Background: The complex and variable pattern of the arterial arcades of the palm form an interesting area of study anatomically and surgically. In the present study arches were classified into complete and incomplete types, the complete type being the most prominent in 88.6% of the palms. Among the complete type, arch formed by ulnar artery alone supplying the thumb and index finger was found in majority of the specimens (50%). The classical or standard superficial palmar arch formed by the superficial palmar branch of radial and ulnar arteries was found in only 28.5%. Different patterns of the arterial arcades of the superficial palmar arch are normally encountered during routine anatomical dissections of the palm which needs to be emphasized and highlighted for a desired surgical out come during microvascular reconstructive surgeries of the palm and during radial artery cannulation. Context: With technological advancements in microsurgical procedures of the hand, fields of anatomical interest like the classification of arterial arcades of the palm, now becomes essential for operating vascular surgeons for a desired surgical outcome Purpose of the study: The present study was taken up to analyze and document varying patterns of the arterial arcades of the superficial palmar arch. Methods and Material: the study was conducted by dissecting 70 randomly obtained formalin fixed cadaver palms. Results: In the present study arches were classified into complete and incomplete types, the complete type being the most prominent in 88.6% of the palms. Among the complete type, arch formed by ulnar artery alone supplying the thumb and index finger was found in majority of the specimens (50%). The classical or standard superficial palmar arch formed by the superficial palmar branch of radial and ulnar arteries was found in only 28.5%. Out of the 70 hands, incomplete arches were found only in 8 hands with an incidence of 11.4%. Conclusion: Knowledge of arterial pattern of the hand is very important to vascular and reconstructive surgeons for effective treatment of injuries of the hand. Such a knowledge of the disposition of the arterial arcades of the palm also enables cardio-vascular surgeons to plan and modify surgical procedures such as radial artery harvesting, cannulation and in preventing the ischemia of hands in such procedures. KEY WORDS: Superficial palmar arch, Arterial arcades, Complete arch, Incomplete arch.
