Discrimination of wood species based on a carbon nanotube/polymer composite chemiresistor array

Abstract Fast and efficient alternative methods for wood species identification are needed to combat illegal logging and to control fair trade. One of the possibilities of rapid wood recognition is via chemiresistor gas sensor arrays (“electronic nose”), the application of which is described in the present paper. Carbon nanotube composites (CNTs) of eight insulating polymers were prepared through solution processing and spin casting. The optimum amount of CNTs in the composites was determined by resistance measurement and the CNTs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. In the case of static headspace analysis, the sensor responses were reproducible and discernible for the wood species. This was demonstrated based on five wood species (Pterocarpus indicus, Acacia auriculiformis, Gmelina arborea, Vitex parviflora and Diospyros philippinensis). Discrimination of the data was achieved through principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). PCA score plots and groupings in HCA dendrograms rendered possible the discrimination of these wood species. The potential application of the sensor array approach for wood species identification is high.
Compulsory Schooling Laws and Youth Crime Evidence from Brazilian Municipalities

Compulsory schooling laws (CSL) are often advocated for fighting crime. While this has generally worked for the US/Europe, it may not necessarily be the case. Exploiting the large exogenous variation in compulsory high schooling of 15-17 year olds introduced by the 2009 Brazilian Constitutional Amendment 59, we assess the effect of high schooling on violent youth crime indices in all municipalities. Only about 53% municipalities adopted the Amendment by 2013 in our sample, which were provided additional resources for its implementation. Difference-in-difference estimates with municipality fixed effects accounting for the potential endogenous adoption of the Amendment document limited beneficial effects of the treatment (relative to the existing studies), primarily driven by the impact in non-poor municipalities. Clearly, the observed impact can solely be attributed to the incapacitation induced by CSL, which was weakened by the sudden overcrowding in day and night schools in treated municipalities, especially the poorer ones, after 2009. This is the first nationwide study to show that the crime reduction effects of CSL crucially depend on whether/how it affects school quality in less promising jurisdictions.
Co-living space: The shared living behavior of the millenial generation iin Indonesia

Article history: Received September 26, 2020 Received in revised form Nov. 13, 2020 Accepted January 12, 2021 Available online August 01, 2021 The continuous improvement in the growth rate of urbanization in Indonesia is causing an increased need for work, limited residential land, and high prices for residential development in urban areas. This phenomenon has an impact on the low occupancy rate for the millennial generation and this makes developers offer co-living space which is considered capable of solving the problem of accommodation and its use as a living space is becoming increasingly popular in recent times. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors influencing the formation of habitual occupancy among millennials in the co-living space of Indonesia. The process involved using a survey method with online questionnaires to collect data from the study population which consisted of the millennial generation with a sample size of 190 respondents. The data obtained were processed using exploratory multivariant statistics to show the relationship between the latent variables used in forming habitual behavior in shared living. The results showed 10 factors which constitute the living behavior in co-living space and they include public facilities, social, place attachment, feeling of satisfaction, environment, intrinsic, extrinsic, group development, economy, and workspace availability.
Genistein Mediated Molecular Pharmacology, Cell-Specific Anti-Breast Cancer Mechanism with Synergistic Effect and in silico Safety Measurement

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer in both men and women alike, but it is more prevalent in women. Natural compounds that can modulate the oncogenic process can be considered a significant anti-cancer agent for treating BC. These natural compounds are more effective than synthetic drugs, which have profound side effects on the normal cell and resistance to cancer cells. Genistein is a type of dietary phytoestrogen included in the flavonoid group with a similar structure of estrogen that might provide a strong alternative and complementary medicine to existing chemotherapeutics drugs. Several research studies demonstrated that it can target the estrogen receptor (ER), Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), and Breast cancer gene-1 (BRCA-1) in multiple BC cell lines, as well as sensitize cancer cell lines to this compound when used at an optimal inhibitory concentration. Genistein effectively showed anti-cancer activities through apoptosis induction, arresting cell cycle, inhibiting angiogenesis with metastasis, reducing inflammation, mammosphere formation, tumor growth, up-regulating tumor suppressor gene, and downregulating oncogene in suppressing cancer progression in vitro and animal model study. In addition, research studies have also suggested that these phytochemicals synergistically reverse the resistance mechanism of chemotherapeutic drugs, increasing the efficacy of some chemoinformatics drugs. Our review article aims to unbox and validate the molecular pharmacology in breast tissue, cell-specific anti-cancer mechanism with synergistic activity, and possible pharmacokinetic parameters of Genistein as a potential alternative therapeutic option for the treatment of BC.
Thrusts control the thermal maturity of accreted sediments

Thermal maturity assessments of hydrocarbon-generation potential and thermal history rarely consider how structures developing during subduction influence the trajectories of accreted sediments. Our thermomechanical models of subduction support that thrusts evolving under variable sedimentation rates and décollement strengths fundamentally influence the trajectory, temperature, and thermal maturity of accreting sediments. This is particularly true for the frontal thrust, which pervasively partitions sediments along a low and a high maturity path. Notably, our findings imply that interpretations of the distribution of thermal maturity cannot be detached from accounts of the length and frequency of thrusts and their controlling factors. Taking these factors into consideration, our approach reduces former inconsistencies between predicted and factual thermal maturity distributions in accretionary wedges and provides a first-order predictive indicator for thermal maturity distribution based on known fault architectures.
Comorbidities: A Decider of Severe Clinical Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients

Background: Comorbidity is the biggest decider in COVID-19 pandemic whether the infected person will develop the severe clinical outcome or not. It is one of the few conclusions that has widespread acceptance. Summary:After analyzing the case fatalities of COVID-19, many patients were found to be having either one of many conditions which are commonly called as comorbidities due to which they cannot made it to survivors list. Also several COVID-19 patients requiring the sophisticated medical attention like ventilators and oxygen support system have any kind of underlying medical condition. Deteriorated immune system is one of the reasons behind slipping into severe symptoms category. Conclusion: It is established that comorbidities are the major influencer in COVID-19 infected patients. More study is needed to further segregate the data on the basis of each comorbidity.
Awareness of Preventive Measures of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Attack Warning Symptoms: Gender-based Differences

Background: Cardiovascular diseases, mainly ischemic heart disease, is the first cause of mortality in Saudi Arabia (SA). Although cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) prevalence is usually lower in women than in men, women have a higher mortality rate and a worse prognosis than men. Aim: This study aims to identify the level of awareness of CVDs preventive measures and heart attack warning symptoms among the male and female Saudi population. Subjects and methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the current study among 400 adults from Riyadh using a self-completed questionnaire. Results: Men and women had the same level of awareness about preventive measures for CVDs (p >0.05). Females had a higher awareness level than males about symptoms of chest pain (chi-square = 8.247, at p = .005) and weakness or fatigue (chi-square = 11.933, at p=.001), but their awareness level regarding other symptoms was similar. Conclusion: the study respondents had a suboptimal awareness about CVDs preventive measures and warning symptoms of heart attacks. Recommendation: Evidence-based educational intervention is required to enhance the population’s knowledge and strengthen their positive attitude towards adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Factors Influencing Organizational Commitment Among Male Nurses in Korea

Expertise in the nursing profession and a breakdown of stereotypes around nursing has led to increasing numbers of men choosing to become a nurse. The first male nurse in Korea began his career in 1962, and in 2020, the number of male nurses was 21,042 which accounted for 4.8% of the total number of nurses in Korea (436,565) [1]. Male nurses in hospitals have typically been allocated to particular departments including the emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms in consideration of the work intensity, and without regard for their personal characteristics. With the increase in number of male nurses, more male
New shell information and new generic attributions for the Egyptian podocnemidid turtles “Podocnemis” fajumensis (Oligocene) and “Podocnemis” aegyptiaca (Miocene)

The early Oligocene “Podocnemis” fajumensis and the early Miocene “Podocnemis” aegyptiaca are two podocnemidid turtles from northern Egypt, defined more than a century ago. Their identification as representatives of the South American genus Podocnemis cannot currently be supported. Relatively limited information on both species was available. In fact, no photograph on the shell of either of them has been published so far, and the type material of both is currently lost. Shell remains of almost 15 specimens of “Podocnemis” fajumensis are analyzed here, including a complete carapace and two complete plastra. A neotype is designated here for the species. An artificial mold of the holotype of “Podocnemis” aegyptiaca is identified, corresponding to its holoplastotype. Both “Podocnemis” fajumensis and “Podocnemis” aegyptiaca are confirmed as valid species, attributable to Erymnochelyini, a clade currently exclusively represented by the Malagasy Erymnochelys madagascariensis. A new diagnosis is proposed for each of these extinct species, including both autapomorphies and a unique combination of characters. They are attributed to two new genera, corresponding to the oldest defined for the African record of Erymnochelyini. Thus, the new combinations Shetwemys fajumensis (http://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/ B4805343-8533-4DA7-808B-BB972D4471CB, urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:B4805343-8533-4DA7808B-BB972D4471CB) and Apeshemys aegyptiaca (http://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/ 43DD73CF-AAED-47A0-9FFB-EB6CFB80D389, urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:43DD73CF-AAED-47A0-9FFBEB6CFB80D389) are proposed.
Teleworking: Economic and Social Impact and Perspectives

The new social context brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has generated significant changes in the work of employees. Social distancing and isolation have imposed the adoption of teleworking in most cases. Teleworking existed before the COVID-19 pandemic, and was considered a facilitator of job flexibility, thus increasing employees’ autonomy in their work. This paper aims to identify how teleworking, through its dimensions (teleworking autonomy and interaction reduction) influences self-regulatory capacity, professional isolation, task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behaviours. The data were collected from 641 respondents, namely Romanian employees, who operated by teleworking. The theoretical model and relation between the constructs were tested with the aid of structural equation modelling in SmartPLS. The interaction reduction in the context of teleworking significantly, positively, and strongly influences professional isolation, and to a lesser extent, but significantly nonetheless, counterproductive work behaviour and employee self-regulatory capacity. The research originality lies in expanding the theoretical contributions regarding teleworking theory by proposing a new teleworking scale based on teleworking autonomy and interaction reduction. It also contributes to the development of Self-regulatory Theory and Social Exchange Theory. From a managerial perspective, it highlights the importance of the dimensions of teleworking for the employer, as well as the effects of teleworking on task performance and contextual performance in the COVID-19 pandemic, offering helpful solutions to employers in the identification of viable solutions for the improvement of employee outcomes, and for the reduction of counterproductive work behaviour.

1Department of Integrated Medical Care, Medical University of Bialystok, Bialystok, Poland; 2Faculty of Health Sciences Medical University of Bialystok, Bialystok, Poland; 3Faculty of Physical Education and Health Jozef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Faculty in Biala Podlaska, Biala Podlaska, Poland Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic disease with intermittent flares and remissions. Each individual perceives the disease, its somatic effects, resultant dysfunction and related problems differently. This attitude is primarily determined by one’s characterological traits and type of illness. A primary response to the diagnosis can be denial, underestimation, acceptance or overestimation of the disease. The aim of the study was to analyze the level of illness acceptance and its effect on the quality of life in moderate psoriasis depending on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 186 patients with plaque psoriasis with Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores ≤10. The inclusion criteria of the study were duration of psoriasis >2 years, age ≥18 years, and lack of other somatic or mental disorders during three months preceding the study. The study participants completed the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) as well as an original survey containing questions about their sociodemographic characteristics and information about their disease. Results: Mean AIS score for the study group was 24.3 pts. Patients older than 40 years presented with lower levels of illness acceptance than younger persons (p = 0.0311). Also, patients’ sex and duration of psoriasis significantly affected the acceptance of the illness, with lower AIS scores found in women (p = 0.0092) and persons with a longer history of the disease (p = 0.0362). Mean DLQI score for the study group was 13.3 pts. A lower level of illness acceptance turned out to exert an unfavorable effect on the quality of life (QOL) in psoriasis (p = 0.0015; R = −0.33). Conclusion: In this study, patients with psoriasis presented with a moderate level of the illness acceptance, and a significant correlation was found between this parameter and QOL.
Effects of Salicylic Acid in The Normal and Nano Form Against Selected Fungi That Infect Citrus Trees (Citrus sinensis)

Evaluation of the potential antifungal activity of salicylic acid in the normal and nano form on the pathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternata and Penicillium digitatum) causing citrus leave spots and fruit decay was studied under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Characterization of prepared salicylic acid nanoparticles (SA NPs), i.e., size distribution and the stability showed that, size distribution range mainly within 8-40 nm as well as hydrodynamic size for produced nanoparticles is 8-40 nm. Salicylic acid nanoparticles and bulk material at 0.5 and 1 mM, in vitro significantly reduced the mycelial growth for Alternaria alternata and Penicillium digitatum, whereas there was not a significant difference between salicylic acid nanoparticles and bulk material, however significant changes of the linear growth were noticed between the low and the high concentrations. Examinations using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed hyphal and conidial deformations in addition to changes in cellular structure of A. alternata and Penicillium digitatum when treated with salicylic acid nanoparticles at 1mM concentration. In case of Alternaria alternata, an increasing of the spinulose conidial cell wall and cell membrane showed and appearance of numerous vacuoles in the cytoplasm with undefined cytoplasmic organelles as well as well-defined ultrastructure organelles of the mycelium, meanwhile in case of Penicillium digitatum salicylic acid nanoparticles exhibited a disrupted cell wall (CW) and several invaginations in the cytoplasmic membrane; shrinkage and decrease in thickness with completely cytoplasmic organelles leakage and accumulation of salicylic acid nanoparticles. The effect of salicylic acid in the normal and nano form were evaluated under field conditions against phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata and Penicillium digitatum on Valencia orange in Ismailia governorate during growing season 2019/2020, salicylic acid in the normal and nano form, significantly reduced the percentages of disease incidence for both Alternaria alternata and Penicillium digitatum compared with the untreated control under field conditions.
Evaluation of the purification process of phosvitin extracted from chicken egg yolk using liquid chromatography

Received 04 Mar 2021 Revised 13 May 2021 Accepted 19 Jul 2021 Phosvitin from chicken egg yolk, known as a phosphoglycoprotein, owns a very strong metal chelating property due to its polyanionic character. This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the purification process and suitable conditions to increase phosvitin’s purity. Phosvitin was separated from yolk granules by using 10% of NaCl solution in 0.05 M NaOH solution and heat treatment which removes lipoprotein from the extracted solution. The highest phosphorus content (58.14 mg) and phosphorus recovery rate (32.4%) were obtained at thermal treatment of 30°C for 30 minutes. In addition, phosvitin was purified using anion-exchange chromatography (AEC) and gel-filtration chromatography (GFC). The fraction 1 (F1) obtained from AEC using UNO-Sphere Q at pH 8 had the recovery rate of phosvitin approximately 72.73%. Furthermore, fraction F1 was separated on GFC to obtain two main sub-fractions (F1 and F2). Sub-fraction F1 from gel filtration was composed mostly of β-phosvitin with a high recovery rate (81.93%) while F2 was dominant with αphosvitin in a lower phosvitin recovery rate (16.89%). These findings will provide useful information for further researches on other properties of phosvitin so that it can be applied widely in human needs. Keywords
