Online health information seeking among patients in primary health care settings, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: Online health information is one of the resources for patients to know about disease pathophysiology, diagnosis, causes, treatment and when to see the physician. Searching for answers through the Internet for health information has become a feature of many people in our country, many institutions provide health information through their website page. Searching for health information online may be important and positive, such as improving the condition of the patient, self-protection, and contributing to raising health awareness. Some patients trust what they find in these sites without verifying the medical reference. misrepresentation of the condition when searching lead to misunderstanding of the information presented, and presence of a serious medical error on the site, or similar description of the situation can Mislead and increase patient’s stress on their health. Objectives: this study aimed to find the prevalence, Determinants, beliefs and identify common topics and websites searched by online health information seekers among patients in primary care settings, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 2020. Methods: cross-sectional study with a total number of participants 330 done by using self-administered questionnaire. Result: prevalence of online health information seeking in the current study was 92.2%. Lifestyle 72.4% and acute health conditions 43.4%. were the most common topics searched by patients, The highest positive score of the beliefs items was for the point “I think because it’s fast and easy to access”. The most common health websites searched by the seekers were as following: Websites recommended by search engines, and websites related to Ministry of Health or universities at 64.6%, and 28.2%. Conclusion: online health information seeking is highly prevalent. Therefore, Physicians, public health professionals, and health care organizations should work together to offer high-quality health information online.
PRODUCTION OF CHERRY TOMATO CHIPS IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of cherry tomatoes in protected environments composed of different photoselective screens. The work was conducted in June / July 2018. The treatments consist of different types of protected environments: open sky, black screen (mesh for 30% shade); white fabric (mesh for 20% shade); blue screen (mesh for 20% of shade) and red screen (mesh for 20% of shade). The experimental design was a randomized block with four replicates, ten plants per experimental plot. The following analyses were performed on cherry tomatoes: leaf number, stem diameter, shoot height, root length, total fresh matter, shoot fresh matter, fresh root matter, shoot dry matter, root, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The black shading, white photoselective, blue photoselective and red photoselective screens did not influence the number of leaves, stem diameter, shoot height, root length, total fresh matter, fresh shoot matter, aerial shoot dry matter, root dry matter, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The red photoselective screen showed superiority in the fresh matter of the root of the other treatments.
Byzantine-Tolerant Gathering of Mobile Agents in Asynchronous Arbitrary Networks with Authenticated Whiteboards

SUMMARY We propose two algorithms for the gathering of k mobile agents in asynchronous Byzantine environments. For both algorithms, we assume that graph topology is arbitrary, each node is equipped with an authenticated whiteboard, agents have unique IDs, and at most f weakly Byzantine agents exist. Here, a weakly Byzantine agent can make arbitrary behavior except falsifying its ID. Under these assumptions, the ﬁrst algorithm achieves a gathering without termination detection in O ( m + fn ) moves per agent ( m is the number of edges and n is the number of nodes). The second algorithm achieves a gathering with termination detection in O ( m + fn ) moves per agent by additionally assuming that agents on the same node are synchronized, f < (cid:2) 13 k (cid:3) holds, and agents know k . To the best of our knowledge, this is the ﬁrst work to address the gathering problem of mobile agents for arbitrary topology networks in asynchronous Byzantine environments.
Effects of protease supplementation of low protein and/or energy diets on growth performance and blood parameters in broiler chickens under heat stress condition

Abstract The effects of feeding low dietary crude protein (CP) and/or metabolisable energy (ME) with or without supplemental protease on growth performance, carcase characteristics and physiological responses in broiler chickens were investigated under cyclic heat stress condition. A total of 350 day-old male broiler chicks were fed with one of the following seven experimental diets: (1) recommended-CP and recommended-ME (RPE, served as control); (2) recommended-CP and low-ME (RPLE); (3) recommended-CP and low-ME with protease (RPLEP); (4) low-CP and recommended-ME (LPRE); (5) low-CP and recommended-ME with protease (LPREP); (6) low-CP and low-ME (LPE) and (7) low-CP and low-ME with protease (LPEP). From 22 to 42 d of age, half of the chickens from each dietary group were exposed to 34 ± 1 °C for 7 h daily (heat stress), whereas the other half were raised at constant 23 ± 2 °C (normal temperature). Supplementation of protease to RPLE, LPRE and LPE diets had no significant effects on feed intake (FI), weight gain (WG) or feed conversion ratio (FCR). Diet had no effect on serum glucose, total protein, certain acute phase proteins (APPs), corticosterone or breast yield. Regardless of protease supplementation, heat stressed birds had significantly lower FI, WG and breast yield, and higher FCR, APPs and corticosterone compared to birds raised in normal temperature. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of protease to low CP and/or ME diets showed negligible effects on growth performance, carcase characteristic and physiological responses in broiler chickens under heat stress condition. The inclusion of microbial protease in broiler diets could be considered by poultry industry as an effective nutritional tool for reducing ME or CP, in order to decrease abdominal fat deposition, improve feed efficiency and increase the profit margin. Highlights Protease supplementation has no specific help for broilers under heat stress. Feeding low CP and/or ME diet is not stressful for broiler chickens.
TECHNIQUES BASED ON THE POLYMORPHISM OF MICROSATELLITE DNA AS TOOLS FOR CONSERVATION OF ENDANGERED POPULATIONS

The reduction of the size and range of populations, and the destruction of their breeding sites has led to situations in which the existence of a population depends on breeding performed by humans in controlled conditions. Such conservation and restoration work should be based on maintaining the ability of protected populations to adapt to environmental conditions. This ability is determined by genetic variation within populations as well as individual genetic characteristics specific to a given population. Managing and preserving the genetic variation of a conserved population is one of most important factors that determine the success of a conservation program. This paper reviews a method based on DNA microsatellite polymorphism and its associated techniques for detection, management and conservation of genetic variation. It covers the use of this method in detecting and monitoring changes in intrapopulation genetic variability. It also covers the usefulness of this technique in assembling breeding pairs based on their genetic profiles, evaluating genetic differences between populations, optimizing and managing genetic variation resources deposited in banks of cryopreserved gametes, and evaluating the effectiveness of programs for conservation and restoration of species. Finally, suggestions for further development of the method are included.
From Start to Finish: What Factors Inhibit Student Veterans Completion?

Student veterans experience unique challenges when returning to higher education. While the Post-9/11 GI bill creates an easier pathway for veterans, student veterans often face multiple impediments to degree completion. Using the Veterans Supplement of the Current Population Survey, we conducted a logistic regression of 4,887 veterans that predicts college retention measured by bachelor’s degree completion using six study variables of physical, sensory, and mental challenges (concentration, hearing, eyesight, walking, dressing, and going out). We conclude only difficulty hearing and walking significantly decreased the odds of bachelor’s degree completion. Recommendations for campus-student-support services are explored.
Control of hybrid boosting in highly diluted internal combustion engines

A novel hybrid system enabling both flexible supercharging and limited torque assist is studied to mitigate transient response challenges of a turbocharged spark ignition engine equipped with low pressure exhaust gas recirculation. The hybrid system, called a power split supercharger (SC), is configured with a planetary gear set that splits the supercharging power between a small low-voltage electric motor and the engine crankshaft. The air path controller relies on the coordination of four actuators on the engine side and three low-level actuators on the hybrid boosting device. A decentralized control scheme is used in this work, in which the master–slave structure of the boost pressure controller decreases the turbo-lag associated with exhaust gas recirculation, while minimizing the SC operation for fuel economy. A vector reference governor is used to prevent compressor surge during engine tip-outs. In addition, the desired intake manifold pressure is modified to provide time for evacuating the exhaust gas recirculation and avoiding misfires when transitioning to low load, while the hybrid capability of the power split SC is used to recuperate the unwanted generated power. All controllers are validated on both a mean value engine model and a high-fidelity engine model. Practical challenges of implementing the vector reference governor to the highly nonlinear engine air path with pressure pulsations originating from the engine reciprocation are discussed and some solutions are proposed.
A new species of Contarinia Rondani (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) that induces flower galls on canola (Brassicaceae) in the Canadian prairies

Abstract A new species, Contarinia brassicola Sinclair (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), which induces flower galls on canola (Brassica napus Linnaeus and Brassica rapa Linnaeus (Brassicaceae)), is described from Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. Larvae develop in the flowers of canola, which causes swelling and prevents opening, pod formation, and seed set. Mature larvae exit the galls, fall to the soil, and form cocoons. Depending on conditions, larvae will either pupate and eclose in the same calendar year or enter facultative diapause and emerge the following year. At least two generations of C. brassicola occur each year. Adults emerge from overwintering cocoons in the spring and lay eggs on developing canola flower buds. The galls produced by C. brassicola were previously attributed to the swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii (Kieffer) in Saskatchewan; here, we compare and list several characters to differentiate the two species.
QUALITY OF PROBIOTIC GOUDA CHEESE AS A FUNCTIONAL FOOD

Gouda cheese was mad from cow's milk inoculated with cheese starter culture ( CSC ) without ( the control C) and with partial replacement of cheese milk with buffalo's milk ( 25%). The mixed milk was CSC with applied in T1, while Lb. helveticus CH5 and Lb. plantarum ATCC 14917 were used separately with CSC in T2 and T3 respectively. Microbiological analysis of fresh cheese and during ripening revealed that Gouda cheese treated with Lb. helveticus (T2), followed by cheese treated with Lb. plantarum (T3) had the highest values in total bacterial count and count of proteolytic and lipolytic bacteria when fresh and during ripening period, while no colonies of yeasts & moulds appeared in all cheese treatments when fresh, but after one month of ripening few colonies were observed. Lb. helveticus CH5 significantly increased during ripening and reached 9.2 log cfu. g-1 at day 60, while the number of the Lb. plantarum ATCC14917 bacteria at the beginning of the maturation period was about 8.2 log cfu g−1then increased at 60 day of ripening (8.8 log cfu g−1 ). The counts of the prementioned bacteria at the end of ripening were more than 7 log cfu/g ,Organoleptically, appearance and colour of control cheese of any age had the maximum scoring points. The control cheese and cheese from T3 ranked the maximum scores for body, texture and flavour and the differences between them were statistically significant. This was noticed in fresh cheese and during ripening period.
Shell microstructures of the helcionelloid mollusc Anabarella australis from the lower Cambrian (Series 2) Xinji Formation of North China

Although various types of shell microstructures are documented from Cambrian molluscs, the precise organization and mineralogical composition of Terreneuvian molluscs are relatively unknown. Anabarella was one of the first helcionellid molluscs to appear in the Terreneuvian, with the genus surviving until the third epoch of the Cambrian. Here, shell microstructures of Anabarella australis have been studied based on new collections from the lower Cambrian (Series 2) Xinji Formation of the North China Block. Results show that A. australis has a laminar inner shell layer that consists of crossed foliated lamellar microstructure (CFL). Nacreous, crossed-lamellar and foliated aragonite microstructures previously documented in the older (Terreneuvian) species A. plana are here revised as preservational artefacts of the CFL layers. This complex skeletal organization of Anabarella suggests that mechanisms of molluscan biomineralization evolved very rapidly. Morphologically, specimens from the Chaijiawa section show a pattern of distinct ‘pseudo-dimorphism’ as external coatings are identical to Anabarella, while associated internal moulds are similar to the helcionelloid genus Planutenia. In contrast, internal moulds from the Shangzhangwan section show considerable morphological variation owing to preservational bias and show greater similarities to specimens from South Australia, Northeast Greenland and Germany. These observations demonstrate that the extensive morphological variation seen in the internal moulds of the cosmopolitan genus Anabarella are primarily preservational artefacts and are unlikely to represent the real intra- and interspecific variability of the animal. In these cases, Planutenia is here confirmed to be a subjective synonym of Anabarella.
Indian Scientists’ Definitions of Religion and Spirituality

Scientists are often assumed to be irreligious and little research has examined the role of religion and spirituality in their lives. Recent research shows that many scientists do articulate a commitment to the sacred and see religion and spirituality as influencing their work. However, we lack a basic understanding of how scientists define religion and spirituality, particularly outside of the Western world. We examine Indian Scientists’ definitions of religion and spirituality and their tie to scientists’ views on the relationship between religion and science. Drawing on 80 in-depth interviews with Indian scientists, we find that although science often operates as a global institution, national context influences definitions of religion and spirituality. Further, the views a scientist has about the relationship between religion and science are linked to their definition of religion. To understand and navigate the relationship between religion and science, we must study definitions of religion and spirituality, as well as the way they are shaped by national context.
Incidental bycatch mortality and fishing restrictions: impacts on juvenile survival in the Endangered Saimaa ringed seal Pusa hispida saimensis

Incidental bycatch, mostly in gillnets used for recreational fishing, is a critical mortality factor for the Endangered Saimaa ringed seal Pusa hispida saimensis. Bycatch particularly affects juveniles, and therefore fishing has been restricted by banning gillnets during the most critical juvenile dispersal period in spring. In addition, the most harmful gear types for ringed seals of all ages are forbidden year-round. The springtime restriction areas have increased significantly since the 1990s, now covering over 90% of the pups’ birth sites. However, the impacts of fishing restrictions on incidental bycatch mortality have not previously been evaluated statistically. The present estimates of incidental bycatch levels in relation to fishing restrictions since the 1990s suggest that the springtime gillnet fishing ban resulted in an increase in population size by 20% between 1991 and 2013 (60 individuals given an average estimated stock size of 355 in 2013). In addition, the estimated critical period for juvenile survival in relation to fishing operations appeared to be the first 15 mo, which is a much longer time than previously expected, suggesting that stationary gillnet fishing during late winter months may cause a secondary peak in seal mortality. One unwanted estimated side effect of the seasonal ban was a slightly increased incidental estimated bycatch level immediately after the end of the springtime fishing restriction period. The estimated bycatch peaked in 2000−2005, with an average of 13.3 juveniles annually and decreased thereafter, mainly in 2009−2013, with an average of 6.3 juveniles annually.
Salvage Radiotherapy versus Observation for Biochemical Recurrence following Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer: A Matched Pair Analysis

Simple Summary Salvage radiotherapy improves oncologic outcomes in prostate cancer patients who develop biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. However, the evidence on hard clinical endpoints is scarce. Within this study, we compare the long-term oncologic outcomes of patients with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy, who were treated with either salvage radiotherapy or no radiotherapy. Our results show that patients who were treated with salvage radiotherapy after the development of biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy had a lower risk of developing metastasis and lower risk of death within the follow-up. These findings further underline the curative potential of salvage radiotherapy in the case of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, and should be discussed with these patients. Abstract Background: Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) improves oncologic outcomes in prostate cancer (PCa) patients who develop biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, evidence on hard clinical endpoints is scarce. We compare long-term oncologic outcomes of SRT versus no radiotherapy (noRT) in patients with BCR after RP. Patients and methods: Within a multi-institutional database, we identified patients with BCR after RP between 1989 and 2016 for PCa. Patients with lymph node invasion, with adjuvant radiotherapy, or with additional androgen deprivation therapy at BCR were excluded. In all patients with SRT, SRT was delivered to the prostatic bed only. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to account for differences in pathologic tumor characteristics. Kaplan–Meier analyses and Cox regression models tested the effect of SRT versus no RT on metastasis-free (MFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 1832 patients with BCR, 32.9% (n = 603) received SRT without ADT. The median follow-up was 95.9 months. Median total SRT dose was 70.2 Gy. After 1:1 PSM, at 15 years after RP, MFS and OS rates were 84.3 versus 76.9% (p < 0.001) and 85.3 versus 74.4% (p = 0.04) for SRT and noRT, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression models, SRT was an independent predictor for metastasis (HR: 0.37, p < 0.001) and OS (HR: 0.64, p = 0.03). Conclusion: This is the first matched-pair analysis investigating the impact of SRT versus observation only in post-RP recurrent PCa. After compensating for established risk factors, SRT was associated with better long-term MFS and OS. These results on clinical endpoints underline the curative potential of SRT.

A new genus and a new species of onchidiid slugs from eastern Indonesia (Gastropoda: Euthyneura: Onchidiidae)

The taxonomy of the Onchidiidae is currently being revised based on extensive sampling, molecular data, and examination of all type specimens available. A new genus, Alionchis Goulding & Dayrat, new genus is described here for a new species, Alionchis jailoloensis Goulding & Dayrat, new species, which is highly distinct from all other onchidiids. Alionchis jailoloensis lives on the mud in mangrove forests and can be easily identified in the field by its large eye tentacles and a hyponotum with a bright white margin. A new genus name is created because Alionchis jailoloensis does not belong to any existing onchidiid genus. The present study is based on an integrative approach to taxonomy, using nomenclatural history, comparative anatomy, molecular data, as well as natural history field observations. Alionchis jailoloensis is endemic to Halmahera, eastern Indonesia. Onchidium meriakrii Stantschinsky, 1907, with a type locality in Queensland, Australia, is transferred to Alionchis but is regarded as a nomen dubium.
