Theory of Planned Behavior on the Determinants of Cosmetic Hormones Use to Overcome Gender Dysphoria among Transgenders in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Background : Gender dysphoria refers to discomfort or distress that is caused by a discrepancy between an individual’s gender identity and the gender assigned at birth (and the associated gender role and/or primary and secondary sex characteristics). Gender reassignment surgery is performed to change primary and/or secondary sex characteristics. For a male to female gender reassignment, surgical procedures may include genital reconstruction (vaginoplasty, penectomy, orchidectomy, clitoroplasty) and cosmetic surgery (breast implants, facial reshaping, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, thyroid chondroplasty (laryngeal shaving), voice modification surgery (vocal cord shortening), hair transplants). This study aimed to examine the determinants of cosmetic hormones among transgender in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Subje cts and Met hod : This was a cross-sectional study carried out in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in November 2018. A sample of 201 transgender was selected by snowball sampling and fixed disease sampling, consisting of 67 transgender using cosmetic hormone and 134 transgender not using the cosmetic hormone. The dependent variable was the use of cosmetic hormones. The independent variables were age, knowledge, education, intention, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis. Results : Cosmetic hormone use was directly increased by strong intention (b= 1.65; 95% CI= 0.98 to 2.31; p<0.001), positive attitude (b= 1.15; 95% CI= 0.48 to 1.81; p= 0.001), but decreased by strong perceived behavioral control not to use cosmetic hormone (b= -1.02; 95% CI= -1.70 to -0.34; p=0.003). Cosmetic hormone use was indirectly affected by age, education, locus of control, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and social norm. Conclusion : Cosmetic hormone use is directly increased by strong intention, positive attitude, but decreased by strong perceived behavioral control not to use the cosmetic hormone. Cosmetic hormone use is indirectly affected by age, education, the locus of control, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and social norm.

Effect of weather parameters on incidence of key pest, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) on tomato

A field experiment was conducted at Central Research Farm, SHIATS, Naini, Allahabad during Rabi, 2014-15 to study the effect of weather parameters on incidence of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) on tomato during Rabi, 2014-15. The incidence of H. armigera started in 8 standard meteorological week (third week of February) with an average population of 2.0 larvae per plant thereafter, larval population increased gradually and reached to its peak level (6.0 larvae per plant) in 12 standard meteorological week (third week of March). Weather parameters, temperature [maximum (r = 0.625) and minimum (r = 0.668)], wind velocity (r=0.527) and sunshine hours (r=0.722) showed significant positive correlation with larval population. Relative humidity [morning (r=-0.160) and evening (r=-0.388)] had nonsignificant negative correlation while, rainfall had non-significant positive correlation (r=0.091) with

Potencial forrajero de poblaciones de maíz y relación entre atributos agronómicos con la calidad

The purposes of this study were to identify maize populations with high forage quality and to determine associations between agronomic and forage quality variables. Five genetic groups made up by 19 populations and six commercial hybrids were evaluated at Pabellon, Ags. , and Torreon, Coah. , Mexico, in split plot tests with three replications each and densities of 80,000 and 75,000 plants ha-1 respectively. Dry matter production (TDM), forage nutritive quality and estimated milk production per hectare were assessed. A significant interaction (P<0.01), was detected for populations within groups x locations only for ear dry matter percentage (EDMP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and in vitro digestibility (IVD); whereas all variables, except acid detergent fiber (ADF) were significant for groups. Hybrids had the highest TDM and estimated milk production with 20.3 and 12.5 t ha-1 respectively; while the earliest populations derived from highland germplasm showed the highest nutritive value with 49.7, 26.4 and 72.4 % of NDF, ADF and IVD respectively. The top populations for forage production and quality within groups were Pop 800, Lucio Blanco, Pop42 ETO IL, CPAB3, P3066WF2, A7597F2 and the hybrids Pantera and AS900. Days to harvest, NDF and ADF content, were the variables which showed stronger correlation (P<0.01) to IVD with coefficients of -0.74, -0.74 and -0.81 respectively; while TDM, EDMP and NDF showed more correlation to estimated milk production, with coefficients of 0.78, 0.84 and 0.55, respectively.

α-SMA and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry as indicators for the fibrotic remodeling process in the liver of dogs.

Liver cirrhosis is a fatal end-stage of various chronic liver diseases. It develops from persistent liver cell necrosis with resulting fibrosis. Because liver cirrhosis is an irreversible process it is important to recognize the reversible fibrotic stages of the disease. Different markers and staining are currently used to detect fibrosis. Besides plasma markers, some tissue markers are currently being used for this purpose. In this study, we investigated the expression of two immunohistochemical markers (Ki-67, a-SMA) in liver diseases with and without fibrosis in dogs and compared their expression with the degree of tissue fibrosis, assessed by Masson trichrome staining. In all the stages of fibrosis, Ki-67 and a-SMA was expressed in the liver tissue. There was no significant difference between Masson trichrome staining which is “gold standard” and expression of Ki-67 or a-smooth muscle actin (SMA). We concluded that Ki-67 and a-SMA can be potentially used as markers for the fibrotic remodeling of the liver.

Distribution of Alternatively Spliced Transcript Isoforms within Human and Mouse Transcriptomes

Here, we present an analysis of alternatively spliced transcript distribution within human and mouse transcriptomes. In this analysis two alternative splicing databases of human and mouse are used to screen all the transcript isoforms contained for a total of 16,826 human genes and a total of 14,869 mouse genes. Overall both transcriptomes are screened for a total of 13 different tissues. All genes analyzed from both genomes have been shown to exhibit alternative splicing and transcript isoforms are specified based on their alternative exon—intron architectures. Our transcriptome wide screenings indicate that there generally exists only one specific isoform per given tissue, both in human and in mouse transcriptomes. Based on the available data, in all 13 tissues analyzed, we observe that for majority of the genes (80%) there is a single dominant isoform per gene, independent of transcript sequence sampling depths. A total of 69% of alternatively spliced human genes and a total of 73% of alternatively spliced mouse genes, have one single isoform within each single tissue from which they have transcript sequence data.
A new probiotic and bacteriocin-producing strain of Enterococcus faecium EF9296 and its use in grass ensiling

A new probiotic, bacteriocin-producing strain of Enterococcus faecium EF9296 (isolate of our laboratory) was used in grass ensiling as an inoculant. The antimicrobial effect as well as the nutritive quality of silage was evaluated along with the aerobic stability test. Grass was ensiled with EF9296 strain (10 9 colony-forming units per gram of fresh material) and the silage without EF9296 was also prepared. The silages were processed in 1-litre plastic bottles. The samples were collected at days 0-1 (start of experiment), 7, 14 and 105 of ensiling to check the microbial status and chemical parameters of silage. At the end of ensiling period (day 105) the silages were subjected to an aerobic stability test for 7 days. The EF9296 strain survived and colonized the silage in sufficient counts (10 9 -10 10 cfu/g). The total counts of enterococci and lactic acid bacteria were increased. In the silage inoculated with EF9296 strain, a reduction in E. coli, enterobacteriae, staphylococci and Bacillus-like bacteria was noted mainly at day 7 and 14 of ensiling. Moreover, the counts of Listeria and moulds were reduced during the aerobic stability test. The silage inoculation resulted in a more rapid drop of pH, higher level of lactic acid and in a decrease in the concentration of acetic and butyric acid. The effect of E. faecium EF9296 on the value of pH was prolonged until the end of the experiment (including the aerobic stability test, below 4.3). During the whole ensiling period an increase in DM content in the experimental silage was detected. The E. faecium EF9296 strain represents a promising silage additive to produce silage of good quality and/or to prevent silage contamination.
FARMING AND PROCESSING STATEGIES FOR IMPROVING POULTRY MEAT QUALITY

The purpose of the PhD research was the identification of new strategies of farming and processing, with the aim to improve the nutritional and technological characteristics of poultry meat. Part of the PhD research was focused on evaluation of alternative farming systems, with the aim to increase animal welfare and to improve the meat quality and sensorial characteristics in broiler chickens. It was also assessed the use of innovative ingredients for marination of poultry meat (sodium bicarbonate and natural antioxidants) The research was developed by studying the following aspects: - Meat quality characteristics, oxidative stability and sensorial traits of chicken meat obtained from two different farming systems: free range vs conventional; - Meat quality traits of frozen chicken breast pre-salted using increasing concentrations of sodium chloride; - Use of sodium bicarbonate in comparison with sodium trypolyphosphate for marination of broiler breast meat and phase; - Marination with thyme and orange essential oils mixture to improve chicken meat quality traits, susceptibility to lipid oxidation and sensory traits. The following meat quality traits analyseswere performed: Colour, pH, water holding capacity by conventional (gravimetric methods, pressure application, centrifugation and cooking) and innovative methods (low-field NMR and DSC analysis) ability to absorb marinade soloutions, texture (shear force using different probes and texture profile analysis), proximate analysis (moisture, proteins, lipids, ash content, collagen, fatty acid), susceptibility to lipid oxidation (determinations of reactive substances with thiobarbituric acid and peroxide value), sensorial analysis (triangle test and consumer test).
The activity rhythm of berried and unberried females of Nephrops norvegicus (decapoda, nephropidae)

Females of the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus are usually excluded from behavioural research based on the assumption that their reproductive cycle alters the results. A seasonal fluctuation in the sex ratio of commercial catches suggests that females do not emerge from their burrows when berried. Burrow emergence (i.e., catches) and feeding rhythms of berried and unberried females were compared with data on their endogenous locomotor activity rhythm. Catch data and the percentage of empty stomachs already published for a population dwelling on the continental slope (400-430 m) in the western Mediterranean were reprocessed focusing on data for berried and unberried females in October, a month that falls within the breeding season of N. norvegicus in the study area. Catches for both groups significantly increased at daytime, when both displayed the lowest percentages of empty stomachs (i.e., diurnal feeding pattern). To assess the occurrence of alterations in endogenous locomotor patterns depending on the presence of eggs, locomotor rhythms of berried and unberried females were studied under conditions of constant darkness in the laboratory. All individuals showed endogenous circadian and nocturnal locomotion. Taken together, these data suggest that feeding, burrow emergence, and endogenous locomotion rhythms are not inhibited in berried females. A reduction in the duration and range of emergence (i.e., doorkeeping) is hypothesized as the basis for the reported fluctuations in the sex ratio in commercial catches.
Horizontal distribution of tintinnids in the open waters of the South Adriatic (Eastern Mediterranean)

The horizontal distribution of oceanic tintinnids was studied in the South Adriatic Sea during 11 cruises undertaken between 1980 and 1990. Of the 70 species identified, there were 47 surface, 16 subsurface, 4 mid-water, and 3 deep-sea species. The dominant surface and subsurface species were Dictyocysta mitra and Codonella aspera . Undella claparedei. Parundella lohmanni predominated in the mid-water layers and Xystonellopsis scyphium in the deep-sea layers. Ingression of water masses from the Ionian Sea and the formation of a cyclonic gyre are important in determining the horizontal distribution of tintinnids in the South Adriatic. Periods of strong advection of waters from the Ionian Sea impose a longitudinal type of distribution on tintinnids, characterized by high species diversity, low abundance, and the transport of southern species to the Middle and North Adriatic. This differs from “eddy type” distribution, in which species diversity is lower, population density is greater in all layers, and the transport of species northward ceases. It may be assumed that mesopelagic and deep-sea tintinnids depend on food resources transported by sinking Middle Adriatic dense waters (MadDW).

Collaboration between Schools and Further Education Colleges in North Staffordshire

This research aimed to explain and examine the collaboration between school and further education colleges in north Staffordshire in England, the sample of this study was an Arabic school and sixth form college, there are so many relations between them, the first one is between the director of finance and resources, estate supervisor and staff 1 and 2 in sixth form college themselves, and there is another relation between them and the head teacher of Arabic school. The other relationship and collaboration is between the Arabic head teacher and teachers in the school. I noticed that there is not any relationship or collaboration between Arabic school teachers and Sixth Form College, all the collaboration through the head teacher. The data analysis shows there are good ranking for all questions regarding the trust levels in communication between members of the team, and also shows that all questions got a good ranking in power as well . however the results showed that all the identity area got a good rank. So members are working together to make faster and better decision and to develop a common aims. This study stressed on the social side and how its nature affect the collaboration to achieve its goals, after an analysis of the two tools used in the study, it has been found that is generally the collaboration between Arabic school and sixth from has achieved success points. But if we looking deeply in each point of collaboration we found that there is some point need to be more effective and practical. Through self-assessment the collaboration has been graded good in all area this means that the collaboration achieved the collaborative advantage. The researcher suggests some recommendations to be taken in the future. Such as continue work with college for effective work, using college to advertise to other schools and companies and promote learning.

Antibacterial activity of Ferula asafoetida: a comparison of red and white type -

Article history: Received on: 09/03/2015 Revised on: 26/03/2015 Accepted on: 15/04/2015 Available online: 27/04/2015 Ferula asafoetida, a native species of Iran and Pakistan has a broad spectrum antimicrobial property in addition to its household use. It has been used as an analgesic agent from the time of Charak Samhita. In the present study we used two kind of F. assafoetida (red and white) gum to screen their antimicrobial activity against five different bacterial strains. Extracts of both types of assafoetida were prepared in organic and inorganic solvents. Polar extracts were found to have significantly higher antimicrobial activity than its nonpolar counterparts. Highest antibacterial activity was shown by hexane extract against Shigella flexineri and S. aureus was found to be least affected by these extracts. However, extracts of both red and white forms showed comparable antibacterial activities, so it may have same chemical composition. The difference in antibacterial spectra of different solvent extracts observed might be due to some other secondary metabolites that are soluble in organic solvent contributing varying antimicrobial property.
The effect of vitamin C on egg shell quality under high environmental temperatures.

The effects of keeping hens in cold or intermittent or continuous heat on different cri­ teria of shell quality such as deformation, breaking strength, specific gravity, shell thickness and shell percentage were determined. Fluctuating temperatures of 85° F and 75-80 % R.H. for 10 hours during daylight and 65-70° F with 50-60 % R.H. for 14 hours at night, shell quality was the same as with cold environment, 55° F and 50-60% R.H. A constant temperature of 85° F with 7580 % R.H. (heat stress) depressed shell quality and calcium in blood plasma signifi­ cantly as compared with cold. In hot environment a supplement of 50 mg ascorbic acid Hoffman-La Roche per kg ration tended to improve shell quality as judged by deformation, breaking strength, shell thickness and percentage, and amount of shell deposited per eggs. Also blood plasma calcium rose significantly.
Proportional comparatives and relative scales

This paper examines the proportional interpretation of comparatives such as More residents of Ithaca than New York City know their neighbors, taking these as the starting point for an investigation of relative or proportional measurement more generally. Two mechanisms for deriving mappings from individuals to degrees of proportion are considered, the first based on posited proportional entries for many/few, the second involving proportional measure functions. It is shown that only the measure function approach adequately accounts for the distribution of proportional expressions and proportional interpretations. A further consequence is to eliminate the need to analyze words such as many as lexically ambiguous.
