Supplementation of combined mannan oligosaccharide and β-glucan immunostimulants improves immunological responses and enhances resistance of Pacific Whiteleg Shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, against Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of mannan oligosaccharide ( MOS) + β-glucan (BZT® PRE-GE) supplementation administered at different frequencies on the immune responses and resistance of Penaeus vannamei against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the causative agent of Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) disease. Four experimental treatments were run with shrimps fed with a control basal diet (TCo), fed daily with diet containing 0.2 % MOS+ β-glucan (Td), fed every 3 days with diet containing 0.2 % MOS+ β-glucan (Td3) and fed every 7 days (Td7) with diet containing 0.2 % MOS+ β-glucan. Following the 30-day feeding trial, shrimp immunological responses were quantified. Infection challenge test was also conducted to evaluate the influence of the treatments on the resistance of P. vannamei against V. parahaemolyticus infection. Results indicate that the immunostimulant application frequency did not affect shrimp survival and overall growth performance. Immunostimulant application every 3 days was found optimum to enhance the immunological responses including total hemocyte count, prophenol oxidase and serum antibacterial activities. Moreover, significant improvement in survival following the infection challenge with V. parahaemolyticus was observed in treatment fed with the immunostimulant every 3 days. Overall these findings suggest that 0.2 % MOS+ β-glucan supplementation applied every 3 days could enhance the immune responses and improve the resistance of P. vannamei against Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. Administration of 0.2 % MOS+ β-glucan once every 3 days could be a practical immunoprophylactic strategy to manage and prevent outbreaks of mass mortalities caused by V. parahaemolyticus infection in P. vannamei farming.
Effects of the incorporation of residue of masonry on the properties of cementitious mortars

This paper presents results of an experimental study of a residue of masonry (RM), sampled from a construction and demolition waste (CDW), added as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to partially replace up to 50% of Portland cement in the preparation of mortars. The pozzolanic activity (fixed lime and strength activity index), setting time, heat of hydration, the (autogenous and drying) shrinkage and compressive strength tests were carried out. The results show how the RM has a positive activity because the increase of RM replacement level in the mortars generates a lower heat of hydration and autogenous and drying shrinkage. The fixed lime at 28 and 180 days, indicating that the RM exhibits in some degree pozzolanic activity and the Strength Activity Index (SAI) was 77.13% and 84.36% of the compressive strength of 100% OPC mortar at the 7 and 28 days respectively, which conformed to ASTM C311. These results indicate that RM should be considered appropriated for using as a supplementary cementitious material.

For moderating test, it is found out that company size is not the variable that can moderate the correlation between the institutional ownership, managerial ownership, independent commissioner, auditing committee, leverage and profitability with the profit management.
ROCZNIKI PSYCHOLOGICZNE/ANNALS OF PSYCHOLOGY DOI: https://doi.org/10.18290/rpsych20234-2

The last few years have seen an increase in the awareness of a specific heart disease referred to as takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The evidence from the literature demonstrates that psychological variables (especially personality traits) can have a significant impact on the manifestations of different heart diseases. Little is known, however, about the psychological characteristics of takotsubo patients. The primary purpose of this research was to extract the specific personality traits of patients with takotsubo syndrome. Our research covered 76 participants divided into three groups: the clinical group—patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n = 30); Comparison Group 1—individuals with acute myocardial infarction group (n = 21); and Comparison Group 2—heart-healthy persons (n = 25). The study included psychological tests and an MRI examination. The psychological methods used in the research were the NEO Personality Inventory, the Type D Scale, and the assessment of the occurrence of stressful life events. Most takotsubo patients reported stressful life events before the occurrence of takotsubo symptoms. In our studies, it was not typical for takotsubo to be associated type D personality. Takotsubo patients have experienced negative emotions but do not suppress their emotions and participate socially without emotional inhibitions. Moreover, patients are open to experience, have average self-control, and tend to be dutiful and dependable. It is possible that these personality traits could facilitate the healing process.
DETERMINANTS OF CREDIT RISK

This study aims to empirically examine the impact of managerial effectiveness on the credit risk of the Indian public and private sector banks. We consider the return on assets as a proxy for managerial effectiveness and gross non-performing assets (GNPA) to total advances as a proxy for credit risk. The study uses fixed effects and dynamic panel data models to examine the impact. The econometric model estimations suggest a negative impact of return on assets on credit risk. Further, we analyze the impact of return on assets by the information of microeconomic and macro-economic variables in dynamic generalized methods of moments (GMM) approach. The results remain the same after using dynamic GMM modelled with lagged credit risk and lagged return on assets. Further, the effect of macroeconomic variables such as repo rate and reverse repo rate confirms the theory. Heterogeneity checks at regions and sector levels substantiate the robustness of results.

Influence of diets supplemented with Carica papaya and Chromolaena odorata leaf meals on performance, blood profile and gut integrity of broiler chickens

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Carica papaya (CP) and Chromolaena odorata (CO) on growth performance, blood profile, gut integrity of broiler chicken. In a 42-day study, 200 one-day old Arbor Acre broilers were weighed and randomly allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 5 replicates having 8 birds in each group. The treatments were basal diet (negative control, NC), NC + 0.05% antibiotics (positive control, PC), NC + 3% CP, NC + 3% CO and NC + 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO in a completely randomised design. The growth performance indices were measured. On day 42, blood samples were collected, gut microbial population and histopathology were assayed following standard procedure. Results showed that average daily weight gain (g/bird/day) of birds on NC, PC and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals were significantly similar at the finisher phase. The feed intake of birds on NC and PC was higher than those on 3% CO and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The dietary treatment had effect on feed conversion ratio in the finisher phase. The highest total Lactobacillus count was observed in 3% CO leaf meal diet, while the antibiotics diet (PC) had the highest Escherichia coli count, and the lowest total Escherichia coli count (3.28 cfu x105) was recorded for birds on combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The histopathology of the gut shows that only those fed 3% CP had eroded villi of the mucosa layer, while all other treatments show normal mucosa layer, moderate inflammatory infiltration of the gland and lamina propia except those fed combinations of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO. Conclusively, the combination of the leaf meals at 1.5% inclusion in broiler diet had positive effect on beneficial gut microbial population.
Gratitude Strategies as Pragmatic Parameter of Filipino Pre-Service Teachers’ Identity

This study investigated the common gratitude strategies in different situations, which permeated indebtedness as a way of shaping pre-service teachers' identity. Using a 15-item Discourse Completion Test (DCT), 22 pre-service teachers in the Province of Cavite, Philippines participated in this study. An informal interview was conducted to validate the gathered data from the instrument used. The analysis was done through the use of Cheng's (2005) taxonomy of gratitude expressions, which include eight (8) strategies: thanking, appreciation, repayment, recognition of imposition, apology, positive feeling, alerter, and other non-taxonomy-based expressions. The results revealed that the respondents highly employed the use of 'simple thanking,' which reflects the simplicity and directness of the Filipino linguistic choice in making responses on various occasions. It was also found out that aside from the taxonomy-based thanking schemes, the respondents also used combined strategies and the 'no-response' strategy. Supported by Woodward’s identity theory, the identified gratitude strategies, as an illocutionary speech act, built the participants’ identities with an implication to their relational and socio-cultural patterns of language.
Assessment of Qualitative and Quantitative Composition of Essential Oil of Three Salvia Species

Different species of Salvia are the most important medicinal plants. In this research essential oil composition of three Salvia species cultivated in climate condition in Marand region were investigated. The plants were harvested in flowering stage and after drying in room temperature, the essential oils of them were extracted with hydro-distillation technique and chemical compositions were analysed by a gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The highest and lowest amounts of essential oil yield were measured in Salvia officinalis and Salvia virgata, respectively. A total of 31 different components were identified accounting by 89.51%, 92.62% and 87.40% of the oils of Salvia officinalis, Salvia nemorosa and Salvia virgata, respectively. The main components were found in Salvia officinalis were α-thujone (37.35%), followed by camphor (18.59%), 1, 8-cineol (8.26%), β-thujone (5.53%), e-caryophyllene (4.15%), and α-humulene (3.50%). The oil of Salvia virgata contained, as main components, E-caryophyllene (37.51%), Eβ-farnesene (15.26%), Caryophyllene oxide (8.57%) and camphor (5.16%). Major compounds in the volatile of Salvia nemorosa were e-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, spathulenol and caryophylla-β-ol with 42.54, 23.94, 7.44 and 6.61%, respectively. Results indicated variation in the essential oil percent and composition among studied salvia species.
Youth unemployment hysteresis in South Africa: Macro-micro analysis

This study simulates the macro-micro economic impacts of the employment policy, focusing on hysteresis in youth unemployment in South Africa. Specifically, we apply a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to calibrate the 2015 South African Social Accounting Matrix to estimate, compare, and determine the impact of employment policy on youth unemployment as well as on aggregate economic outcomes. We simulate two scenarios where we reduce the import price of fuel by 20 per cent. Then, the total government savings from the reduced transport subsidy are reallocated to the education sector to support the unemployed youth. The research findings indicate that demand for youth labour increases in the long run, resulting in a decline in the unemployment rate. Moreover, the consumer price index decreased more than nominal income, thereby increasing household purchasing power and, potentially, easing poverty.
Examination of the perceptions of self-sufficiency and burnout levels of students of the sports science faculty during the COVID-19 pandemic

Copula-quantile causality from trading volume to return and volatility in the cryptocurrency market Abstract

We extend our limited understanding on the Granger causality from trading volume to the returns and volatility in the cryptocurrency market via a copula-quantile causality approach. Using daily data of seven leading cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin, Nem, Dash, and Stellar), results show that trading volume Granger causes extreme negative and positive returns of all cryptocurrencies under study. However, volume Granger causes return volatility for only three cryptocurrencies (Litecoin, NEM, and Dash) when the volatility is low. However, this latter result only holds when squared returns are used as a proxy of volatility and not when GARCH volatility is employed.
Response of endemic Mangifera zeylanica (Blume) Hook. f. fruit to common postharvest pathogens of cultivated mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruit in Sri Lanka

Two species of Mangifera are found in Sri Lanka, the cultivated Mangifera indica L. and the endemic M. zeylanica (Blume) Hook.f. [Et-amba (S)]. Mangifera indica is a climacteric fruit, susceptible to infection by many fungal pathogens, causing postharvest diseases at ripe stage. Among them, Colletotrichum spp. and Lasiodiplodia theobromae that cause anthracnose and stem-end rot disease respectively, are considered the most destructive postharvest pathogens in ripe mangoes. Harvested fruit of M. zeylanica also showed a climacteric pattern of respiration and the pulp was sweet to taste, with acceptable TSS value for mango fruit. The present study investigated the resistance or susceptibility of the fruit of endemic M. zeylanica to these two pathogens. Artificial inoculation of fruits with C. gloeosporioides and L. theobromae separately, produced anthracnose as well as stem-end rot symptoms respectively, showing that M. zeylanica fruits are susceptible to the pathogens. However, considering the pattern and the extent of disease development, M. zeylanica fruits can be considered moderately resistant to both pathogens. Alternaria sp. , Pestalotiopsis sp. , Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Curvularia sp. and Neofusicoccum sp. were frequently isolated from the pedicel and the stem-end region of healthy fruits of M. zeylanica at harvesting maturity. However, Colletotrichum species could not be isolated from either the pedicel or the stem-end region of M. zeylanica. TLC-Cladosporium bioassay of peel extract of the unripe M. zeylanica fruit resulted in a large inhibition zone at Rf 0.00 which corresponded with antifungal gallotannins contributing to the constitutive defences of M. indica fruit against invading pathogens.
