Effect of Temperature on the Immature Developmental Time and Adult Longevity of Apanteles Galleriae Wilkinson (Hym. Braconidae)

The greaterwax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.), is a known pest of the Egyptian and worldwide beekeeping. The solitary endoparasitoid, Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson is one of important natural enemies of the pest. The study aimed to determine the effect of temperatures under near-continuous darkness on the immature developmental time, growth of parasitized larvae and adult longevity of A. galleriae. The duration of developmental period of male was less than that of female irrespective of temperatures. At 20°C temperature and 75% RH, the duration ranged from 21.7 days for males and 23.8 days for females, decreased to 18.1 and 19.2 days at 25°C,17.1 and 18.1 days at 27°C and 16.0 and 17.3 days at 30°C, respectively. Parasitism by A. galleriae retards the growth of G. mellonella larvae. The initial weight of wax moth larva at the time of parasitization was 3.5±0.2 mg and was significantly lower (9.9±0.7 mg) prior to parasitoid egression than that of the non-parasitized larva (89.5±5.2 mg). The parasitized host larvae eventually weighed up to 70 to 88% less than the non-parasitized larvae. The adults survived starvation, wateror one -day honey feeding for few days, while they lived for significantly longer periods when they provided daily with pure honey. Longevity of females fed on pure honey was significantly longer than males at all tested temperatures. The results may be of value for developing mass rearing techniques and biological control of wax moths by A. galleriae.
Understanding Users’ Intention to Use Open Government Data with Perceived Risk as Moderator: A Conceptual Model

Government become part of social life, open government data is the best way provide a better understanding of user’ intention to use open government data this study proposed a framework that can enhance the intention of open government data users. This study used Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT) and suggested that expectation, confirmation, perceived performance and incentive on usage can be a significant predictor of users’ behavioural intention to use open government data which influence the user satisfaction from open government data. Furthermore, the current study proposed the moderating effect of perceived risk on the relationship between expectation, confirmation, perceived performance, incentives on usage and user’s behavioural intention. This study provides important implications for the open government data agencies and an avenue for academia and practitioners to further test the proposed empirically to test the proposed framework.
Optimizing the use of alkylators in neuro-oncology

For more than three decades, alkylating agents have been the most widely used class of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of glial brain tumors. Today, concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide is the standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Temozolomide alone or in combination with radiotherapy is being explored in ongoing trials in newly diagnosed patients with low-grade and anaplastic glioma. Rechallenge with alternative dosing schedules of temozolomide is a valid treatment option in recurrent, temozolomide-pretreated patients with glioblastoma, and nitrosourea compounds are alternative treatment options in this setting, in addition to novel, mostly antiangiogenic agents, notably bevacizumab. Moreover, nitrosoureas have become the gold standard comparator arm for the evaluation of novel treatments in recurrent glioblastoma.
Overview of Deep Convolutional Neural Network Approaches for Satellite Remote Sensing Ship Monitoring Technology

Remote sensing (RS) monitoring of ships has important significance in both military and civilian fields. The RS ship detection aims to locate the position of the ship in the remote sensing image and extract its characteristics. Traditional ship target detection algorithms cannot meet the demands for speed and precision of SAR remote sensing and optical remote sensing data. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the target detection technology such as deep learning algorithms has made significant progress in RS ship detection. Deep learning has become a heated topic in research. This paper has analyzed and summarized previous researches on the application of deep learning algorithms in ship detection technologies based on SAR and optical remote sensing images in recent years and has provided suggestions for future studies. In the future, deep learning-based technologies for RS ship detection will use more data, such as data from multiple sensors in multiple channels. Deep neural networks will also include more rules and specialized knowledge. Its structure will become more complicated and eventually develop into a neural network like the human brain.
Spinal anesthesia during cesarean section and persisting low back pain: a cross sectional study in West Bengal, India

Background: Spinal anesthesia related spinal injury can be a major issue in elevating back pain. Several evidences have established this process as a significant contributor of back pain; though contradictions are also present. This study aims to focus on the consequences of back pain associated with the effects of spinal anesthesia that have been received before several years. Methodology: 48 housewives are included in this study (20 subjects for vaginal delivery and 28 subjects for spinal anaesthesia induced cesarean section) based on convenient sampling method through assessing their socio-economic status and other attributing criteria. Pain detect tool was used to track back pain status and a semi structure questionnaire was used to explore other considerations. Results: Results have shown significant differences in pain responses after receiving spinal anesthesia (exposed group) than control group. Subjects have reflected significant differences in their pain perception scores. Conclusion: This study concludes that subjects have shown significant higher pain perception levels after receiving spinal anesthesia compared to general anesthesia. Decision of Cesarean section delivery should include patient’s previous pain conditions and current need. Acute care in post surgical pain should be immediately addressed even after several months of the surgery.
Predicting the intentions to use chatbots for travel and tourism

ABSTRACT As with other businesses, tourist companies are taking advantage of modern technologies. Chatbots are a recent technology that hotels, travel agencies, and airline companies are adopting. Despite this industry-wide implementation, there is no evidence about the factors that explain why consumers are willing to interact with chatbots. This work proposes a model to explain chatbot usage intention. The model and its hypotheses were tested by structural equations with the PLS technique. The study was conducted on a sample of 476 individuals who had travelled on vacation in the previous 12 months. The study reveals that the intentions behind using chatbots are directly influenced by the following factors: the chatbots’ expected performance, the habit of using chatbots, the hedonic component in using them, the predisposition to using self-service technologies, the social influences, and the fact that the chatbot behaves like a human. The inconvenience and problems related to communicating with the chatbot were found to have a negative influence. Lastly, the possibility that chatbots could replace jobs had a surprisingly positive influence, and not a negative one.
Complicated appendicitis in Children in Aba, Nigeria

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal emergencies globally. Etiologyremains poorly understood with few advances over the past decades. Obtaining a confident pre-operativediagnosis remains a challenge, as appendicitis must be entertained in any patient presenting with an acuteabdomen. A clinical classification is used to stratify management based on simple (non-perforated) andcomplex (gangrenous or perforated) inflammation, although many patients remain with an equivocaldiagnosis, which remains one of the most challenging dilemmas. The aim of the study is to evaluate themanagement and outcome of complicated appendicitis at the Abia State University Teaching HospitalAba Nigeria. Methodology: A prospective analysis of all children treated for appendicitis at the AbiaState University Teaching Hospital Aba between 2016 and December 2018. Proforma was opened fordemographic data, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, complication and outcome. Results: A totalof 100 children aged between 2 and 15 (mean 8.7 ± 2.8) years, comprising 60males and 40 females withmale/female ratio 3:2 had appendectomy which accounted for 8% of total pediatric operations and 40% ofpediatric abdominal operations. Only 40 (40%) children presented during the first episode of symptomsand in clinically stable state while 60 (60%) were referred after wrong diagnosis and treatment by generalpractitioners which resulted in different complications ranging from appendix abscess 10 (10%), appendixmass 15 (15%), perforated appendix 30 (30%), gangrenous appendix 5 (5%) . These influenced postoperative outcome with wound infection recorded in 20 (20%), wound break down 10 (10%), septicemia15 (15%), pelvic abscess 5 (5%) and death 1 (1%). These were not recorded among those who presentedearly who also had significantly lower duration of hospitalization and cost of treatment. Conclusion: Latereferral due to paucity of knowledge, long referral chain and low index of suspicion was rampant whichsignificantly increased associated morbidities and mortality among children managed with appendicitisKeywords: Appendicitis, children, complicated
Management of invasive species Solidago canadensis in Ostrava region (Czech Republic)

In this article authors deal with the possibilities of population management of Solidago canadensis species, which is not indigenous in Czech Republic and invasive. The study areas were chosen within the Poodri PLA, which is situated near the city Ostrava in Moravian-Silesian region. Invasive species Solidago canadensis as well as all the other invasive species in general poses a threat especially in the protected landscape areas such as Poodri PLA thanks to disrupting their natural ecosystems and reducing their exceptional biodiversity. Solidago canadensis can achieve those goals mainly thanks to the ability of quick propagation not only sexual one by seeds, but also asexual (vegetative) by rhizomes and thanks to releasing allelopathic substances which has negative impact on other plant species for example inhibition of their germination and growth. By these means it relatively quickly sets up monodominant covers, displaces original and rare plant species and poses threat to further development of the landscape of Poodri PLA. Management was proposed and applied on 5 study areas in Poodri PLA and after that the effectiveness was evaluated. There were chemical (application of herbicides) and mechanical (mowing) methods and their combinations used.
Immunological and clinical assessment of adult HIV patients following switch to second-line antiretroviral regimen in a large HIV Program in North-central Nigeria

Antiretroviral (ART) regimen switch is a common occurrence in resource-limited settings where patients present late for care or with an AIDS-defining event. ART regimen switch can be attributed to several factors emanating from either the individual, program or facility level. This retrospective study was carried out in a resource-limited comprehensive facility in North-central Nigeria. Treatment records of 4,206 Adult HIV/AIDS patients initiated on first line ART regimen from 2006 to 2013 were extracted and examined for switch to second line ART regimen for the purpose of this study after ethical clearance had been sought. Absolute CD4 count, World Health Organisation (WHO) clinical stage and viral load results at treatment initiation, point of switch to second line and at the end of 2014 (end-point for the study) were obtained. About 75% of the 4,206 patients initiated on first line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were retained in care and were still on first line HAART at the end of 2014 with a significant difference in median CD4 count, BMI, WHO clinical staging and viral load at baseline compared to the end of the study period. Out of the 4,206 adults patients initiated on first line HAART, 71 were later switched to second line regimen due to either first-line immunological or virological failures although only 57 patients without traces of co-infection were included in this study. At end-point, a very high (87.7%) WHO defined immunological response was achieved. The study revealed that although immunologic and virologic response in patients before ART regimen switch was low, it improved tremendously after switch to second line regimen in all patients including those with available viral load results. The study results showed a 96.5% retention rate of patients switched to second line HAART and a correlation between virological suppression and immunological response. Key words: Immunological assessment, virologic response, HIV diagnosis, first line regimen, second line regimen.

The prognostic role of serum albumin in patients receiving induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

6618 Background: Serum albumin has been investigated as a prognostic tool in the care of patients with hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. However, its prognostic utility in patients with AML is unknown. We hypothesized that a lower serum albumin is associated with worse outcomes following induction chemotherapy for AML. Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review of 166 adult, non-promyelocytic AML patients who had received induction chemotherapy at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1992 to 2007. Patient characteristics were summarized as numbers and percentages for categorical variables. The Kaplan Meier method was used to estimate median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). We dichotomized our patients by serum albumin ≥3 and <3, and determined the association of albumin with 60-day survival and complete remission (CR) rate using Fisher’s exact test. Association of albumin with DFS and OS was summarized using Cox regres.
Automatic Detection of Synaptic Partners in a Whole-Brain Drosophila EM Dataset

The study of neural circuits requires the reconstruction of neurons and the identification of synaptic connections between them. To scale the reconstruction to the size of whole-brain datasets, semi-automatic methods are needed to solve those tasks. Here, we present an automatic method for synaptic partner identification in insect brains, which uses convolutional neural networks to identify post-synaptic sites and their pre-synaptic partners. The networks can be trained from human generated point annotations alone and require only simple post-processing to obtain final predictions. We used our method to extract 244 million putative synaptic partners in the fifty-teravoxel full adult fly brain (FAFB) electron microscopy (EM) dataset and evaluated its accuracy on 146,643 synapses from 702 neurons with a total cable length of 312 mm in four different brain regions. The predicted synaptic connections can be used together with a neuron segmentation to infer a connectivity graph with high accuracy: between 92% and 96% of edges linking connected neurons are correctly classified as weakly connected (less than five synapses) and strongly connected (at least five synapses). Our synaptic partner predictions for the FAFB dataset are publicly available, together with a query library allowing automatic retrieval of up- and downstream neurons.
The Factors Influencing Galectin-3 Levels in Acute Coronary Syndrome with Decreased Left Ventricular Function

Summary The aim of our study was to determine the factors influencing galectin-3 levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. We collected material from 37 successive patients with acute coronary syndrome and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, of which 19 patients had atrial fibrillation, and 18 patients who were without atrial fibrillation constituted a control group. Blood samples used for the biochemical measurements were obtained on the third day from acute coronary syndrome. We used Statistical Package for Social Sciences for data analysis. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered to be a measure of statistical significance. Galectin-3 concentration is directly correlated with age and B-type natriuretic peptide level. Also, our results showed an inverse correlation between galectin-3 and total body weight, body mass index, body surface area and creatinine clearance. The following variables were found to be significant predictors of galectin-3 level: decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, total body weight, LDL concentration and body mass index. We identified factors that can predict a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction below 45% after acute coronary syndrome: atrial fibrillation increases the risk by almost six times, and urea concentration increases the risk by 1.2 times for each unit. Left ventricular ejection fraction below 45%, TBW, body mass index and LDL level are good predictors of galectin-3 concentration in patients with ACS and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. Atrial fibrillation could be a predictive marker of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction.
Primary immunization coverage among Migrant children in the age group of 12 to 23 months in Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kanchipuram District

Background: Migrants carry with them a burden of health risks and public health implications due to their poverty, unequal access to social benefits including health care services like immunization. Aims & Objectives: To describe the socio-demographic profile and the primary immunization status of migrant children in the age group 12 to 23 months and also identify the various factors related to immunization failure if any in Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu. Material & Methods: A community based cross sectional descriptive study was done among 173 migrant children in the age group of 12 to 23 months from 12 construction sites in the study area between July 2016 – September 2016. The data was collected using a pre-designed, structured questionnaire. Results: The age group of mothers varied from 18-39yrs. About 46 (26.6%) mothers were illiterate. Majority of the children 159 (91.9%) had a birth certificate. Almost all 171 (98.8%) children were having immunization card. Only one child was found to be partially immunized. Lack of time was found to be the reason for not taking the child for immunization. All others 172 (99.4%) were fully immunized. Conclusion: Awareness should be created among migrant workers regarding importance of immunization through regular health education activities.
An insight into the impact of triazophos and deltamethrin pesticides as individual and in combination on oxidative stress and histopathological alterations in Eudrilus eugeniae

ABSTRACT The application of a mixture of pesticides to the agricultural field may adversely affect the health of non-target organisms besides the target ones. In the present study, the antagonistic effect of triazophos and deltamethrin (DM) in combination compared with individuals has been observed on earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae. The LC50 value for formula grade pesticides viz. triazophos, DM and their combination was found as 76, 31 and 66 ng/cm2, respectively. To study the effect of sub-lethal dose (5% and 10% of LC50) of these pesticides on earthworm, E. eugeniae was exposed for 48 h by the paper contact toxicity method. Significant perturbations in oxidative stress parameters such as nonenzymatic (MDA, GSH) and enzymatic (SOD, CAT, GST, LDH, ACP, ALP, ALT and AST) were observed in tissue-specific (pre-clitellar, clitellar and post-clitellar) and dose-dependent manner. Histopathological studies of post-clitellar region of the body of earthworm showed severe damage in the exposed groups compared with control. The findings further indicate that the toxicity of pesticides was more pronounced in an individual than in the co-exposed group. Therefore, the changes speculate the potential health risk to these organisms on exposure at higher concentrations of the pesticides accumulated in soil.
Contributing Factors to Under-Five Child Malnutrition in Rural Bangladesh

all child deaths are linked to malnutrition [1]. Statistics says, about 159 million under-five children were stunned, 95 million were underweight and 50 million were wasted in 2014 [2]. Child malnutrition still remains one of the most serious public health problems in developing countries and rates of malnutrition in Bangladesh are among the highest position in the world [35]. Malnutrition is a term that is used to describe a deficiency, imbalance or excess of nutrition’s, resulting in measurable adverse effects on body composition, function and clinical outcome [6]. According to UNICEF: ‘People are malnourished if their diet does not provide adequate calories and protein for growth and maintenance or they are unable to fully utilize the food they eat due to illness (under nutrition). They are also malnourished if they consume too many calories (over nutrition)’ [7]. Although, malnutrition refers to people who are undernourished or over nourished, it is frequently used as under nutrition. In South Asian countries, economic improvements have not been adequately reflected in improvements in child nutrition [8,9]. It makes the child more vulnerable to morbidity and mortality, prevents them from reaching their full physical and mental potential and growth, it also causes lower intellectual and physical abilities in adult life [10]. The problem of malnutrition in Bangladesh is much higher and this problem is almost double in Bangladesh compared to Somalia or Mozambique and equal to that of Ethiopia [11].
