Determinant of Difficulty in Purchasing Decisions for Local Coffee Brands: Testing Knowledge of Product Class as Moderator

Coffee is one of the leading commodities in the plantation sub-sector in Indonesia because it has good market opportunities both locally and globally. The purpose of this research was to find out how the effect of perceived product similarity, product choices overload in the market toward decisions making difficulty, and knowledge of product classes as moderating variable. Data were collected using Google Forms and a self-administered questionnaire. Respondents in this study were 300 coffee consumers which were drawn using the purposive sampling method. Moderated regression was used to analyze this study. The results showed that perceived product similarity influences product choices overload positively and decision-making difficulties negatively. Choice overload had an insignificant effect on decision-making difficulties, and product class knowledge moderates the effect of perceived product similarity on decision-making difficulty. These findings provide insight into the importance of the brand as a distinguishing identity from other products.

Linking long-term changes of zooplankton community to environmental variability at the EPEA station

A significant sea surface temperature increase has been reported for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean between 20° S-50° S over the last decades. Zooplankton organisms are highly sensitive to temperature rise. They play a very important role in marine ecosystems by providing the main pathway of energy transfer from primary producers to consumers. Seasonal and interannual (2000-2017) variability of metazooplankton in relation to environmental changes, particularly temperature, were analyzed at the EPEA station (38° 28′ S-57° 41′ W). Copepods, appendicularians, cladocerans, chaetognaths, and lamellibranch larvae were identified and quantified. Temperature exhibited a positive interannual trend during the series, whereas the Simpson parameter showed a decreasing tendency and salinity remained almost constant. Adults, copepodites, and nauplii of small copepods belonging to Oithonidae (mostly Oithona nana) and Paracalanidae-Clausocalanidae families dominated the metazooplankton community during the study period. Three groups of taxa with different seasonal patterns of variability were clearly identified. Members of Oithonidae exhibited positive interannual trends, whereas lamellibranch larvae and Calanidae showed negative interannual trends. A direct influence of temperature anomaly on these changes is suggested as well as possible indirect effects of this anomaly upon zooplankton through different phytoplankton fractions. Under the current scenario of climate change, the maintenance of this time-series becomes crucial in order to evaluate the eventual transfer of the environmental variability to the local food webs through planktonic organisms.
CHANGES IN MASTICATORY MUSCLES FOLLOWING ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY AFTER MANDIBULAR PROGNATHISM CORRECTION

Aim: To evaluate the postoperative electromyographic changes of temporalis and masseter muscles activity, in patients with orthognathic surgery BSSO,for correction of mandibular prognathism. Material and Methods: Eight adult patients, their ages ranged from 22-45 years, five females and three males, suffering from mandibular prognathism. underwent BSSO, for performing mandibular setback. EMG examinations(peak to peak amplitude, for detection of the strength of contraction of both temporalis and masseter muscles) were done presurgical and twelve months postoperatively. Results: Significant increase in peak-to-peak amplitude values of both temporalis muscles was founded. Moreover, an increase in peak-to-peak amplitude values of both masseter muscles was found,. No significant differences were found in the mean frequency score (as one of the variables of the EMG measurement) of the masseter muscles before bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and that undertaken 12 months after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (P = 0.06). An increase in the mean peak to peak amplitude score for the right and left temporalis muscle was found, with significant differences between the measurement found 12 months after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and that measured before bilateral sagittal split osteotomy fig (6) (P = 0.002,0.0001 respectively) Conclusion: No change in the strength of contraction of both temporalis and masseter muscle had detected after performing BSSO for correction of mandibular prognathism ,as detected by
ULTRASOUND MEASUREMENT OF TRANSCEREBELLAR DIAMETER (TCD)/ABDOMINAL CIRCUMFERENCE (AC) RATIO IN NORMAL AND GROWTH RESTRICTED FETUSES ABOVE TWENTY WEEKS OF GESTATION

Background: Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is an obstetrical syndrome that is generally associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In IUGR, maternal placental blood flow is extremely compromised and that worsen the inter-villous circulation leading to an end-stage fetal distress. Objective: To compare TCD/AC ratio in both normal and growth restricted fetuses in second and third trimesters and to find if there is any correlation between TCD/AC ratio and EFW. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on 100 singleton pregnant women at EL-Sayed Galal University Hospital and Damanhour Teaching Hospital in the period between March 2019 till May 2020 and the patients were divided into two main equal groups. Group I included pregnant females with normally growing fetuses and Group II included pregnant females with growth restricted fetuses above 20 weeks of gestation. Results: This study demonstrated the usefulness of the single cut-off value (13.75%) of the TCD/AC ratio which may contribute to the early identification of SGA infants. The problem lied in identifying the process at the onset or before the IUGR has become severe. Usually the first parameter to decrease is the fetal AC due to depletion of hepatic glycogen and subcutaneous fat stores. The TCD/AC ratio, which utilized a single cut-off value (13.75%) independent of GA, improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in these cases. The possible contribution of the TCD/AC ratio in identifying the fetal growth failure itself, which was more important than predicting weight at birth to be further evaluated. There was no correlation between TCD/AC ratio and EFW and no statistical significant correlation between TCD/AC ratio and UA Doppler. Conclusion: In IUGR fetuses, the fetal TCD was less affected than fetal head circumference (HC) suggesting preferential preservation of cerebellar growth relative to other cranial structures. The TCD/AC ratio was helpful in recognizing abnormal fetal growth even when the GA was uncertain since this ratio was gestational age-independent.

The Antibacterial Activity of Melanin in the Cuttlefish (Sepia sp.) Ink against Aeromonas sp.

Cuttlefish is one of the fisheries commodities which utilization is still limited. So far, the use of cuttlefish has only been cooked with a mixture of spices, while the ink is thrown away or used as part of the cuttlefish processing in food. Several studies have shown that squid ink contains melanin, protein, fat and glycosaminoglycans (Fiore et al., 2004). Squid ink can act as a cell-protective drug in the treatment of cancer with chemotherapy by increasing the number of leukocytes and bone marrow cell nucleates, whose numbers are decreasing due to the use of drugs such as tumor cell killer (Naraoka et al., 2000). In addition, melanin from squid ink has anti-tumor activity that inhibits plasmin activity from increasing thromboxane, and meanwhile, it increases the body's resistance to kill cancer cells (Zhong et al., 2009). Melanin also contributes as an antioxidant (Fahmy, 2013; Guo et al., 2014), anti-radiation ( Pralea et al., 2019; Solano, 2020). Moreover, it works as an antirotavirus (Rajaganapathi et al., 2000) and antibacterial (Aruldhason et al., 2014; Zakaria et al., 2019). In addition, melanin also can absorb metals, especially in the phenolic hydroxyl (OH), carboxyl (COOH) and amine (NH) functional groups of the melanin molecule (Chen et al., 2009).

Identifying Wheat Stress Tolerant Genotypes Among Some Bread Wheat Accessions Using Different Drought Tolerance Indices تحديد الطرز الوراثية المقاومة للإجهاد في بعض تراکيب قمح الخبز باستخدام مؤشرات تحمل الجفاف المختلفة

Thirty-nine genotypes of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) collected from different regions in Egypt and two commercial varieties were used in this study, to estimate the tolerance indices and to establish the drought tolerance in 41 genotypes. Significant genotypes mean squares were detected for all studied traits, except number of spikes per m and grain per spike under water stress. Using stress susceptibility index (SSI), genotypes 4, 6, 1, 31, 19, and 24 were classified as highly drought tolerant. According to stress tolerance index (STI), twelve genotypes were the top performer under stressed conditions. Twenty-nine genotypes showed lowest STI values (< 0.10) which implies that these genotypes were highly susceptible to drought. The greater values of yield stability index (YSI) were observed in genotypes 8,39,17,22,28,12,26 and 37. Based on sensitivity drought index (SDI) the six genotypes 4,6,1,31,19 and 24 revealed the highest values and were identified as tolerant under stress conditions. According to drought index (DI). Grain yield under stressed conditions (YS) was significantly and positively correlated with STI and DI. Yield in non-stress condition (YP) was significantly and positively correlated with YS, SSI, STI, SDI, and DI and negatively correlated with YSI. The total variation expressed between the two components was 99.70%. The variable that has the highest PCA1 value and the lowest PC2 was found excellent in screening genotypes under stress and non-stress conditions. Also, genotypes 17 and 37 are the most tolerant genotypes under water stress.
The Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Enzyme Mixture Inoculants on Silage Fermentation Characteristics and Feed Values of Silage Prepared from Alfalfa Harvested at Different Maturities

This study was carried out to determine the effects of lactic acid bacteria+ enzyme (LAB+E) inoculants on the fermentation characteristics and feed values of silages prepared from alfalfa harvested at three maturity stages. Alfalfa was harvested at the early, middle and late flowering stages. Sil-All (Alltech, UK) were used as LAB+E inoculants. Inoculants were applied to the silages at the rates of 1×105, 5×105 and 1×106 cfu/g levels in 1 liter capacity plastic bags. The bags were stored at 20±2°C under the laboratory conditions. Three bags from each group were sampled for chemical and microbiological analyses on the 45th day after ensiling. The results showed that LAB+E inoculants reduced pH values and ammonia-nitrogen content, whereas increased lactic acid contents and lactobacillus count of alfalfa silages. High doses LAB+E inoculant decreased neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber content, increased in vitro organic matter digestibility and metabolic energy of alfalfa silages. It has been demonstrated that the most effective application dose of LAB+E inoculant to improve fermentation and feed value of alfalfa silage was 1×106 cfu/g, but 1x105 and 5×105 cfu/g level can also be considered as effective dose.

Prolonged Exposure to Antimicrobials Induces Changes in Susceptibility to Antibiotics, Biofilm Formation and Pathogenicity in Staphylococcus aureus

Introduction: Frequent exposure to certain biocidal agents such as hypochlorous acid (HOCl), triclosan and benzalkonium chloride (BAC) has been reported to induce significant changes in Staphylococcus aureus. However, very few studies of this type have been conducted with conventional antimicrobials. Aim: The current investigation aimed to explore the phenotypic changes (susceptibility to antibiotics, biofilm formation and relative pathogenicity) that occur in S. aureus after recurrent exposure to antimicrobials. Methods: We compared the effects of long-term exposure to ampicillin, cefazoline, kanamycin and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on their susceptibility to antibiotics, biofilm formation, growth rate and pathogenicity in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined using the microplate mircodilution method and the bacteria were exposed to increasing concentrations of each antimicrobial (MIC/2 to MIC) prepared in the BHIB for 8 days. The sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics was assessed using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, the biofilm formation with crystal violet bacterial attachment assay and relative pathogenicity was assessed through a Galleria mellonella waxworm model. Results: The data in this investigation indicate that long-term exposure to antimicrobials may induce several changes in S. aureus. The exposure to ampicillin induced resistance to ceftazidime, tetracycline and ceftriaxone while the susceptibility to ceftazidime decreased in bacteria exposed to cefazolin and Kanamycin. Meanwhile, exposure to AgNPs induced some changes in susceptibility to trimethoprim and ceftazidime without causing resistance. Similarly, the strains exposed to ampicillin and kanamycin grew more rapidly and produced more biofilms than the control strains whereas the strains exposed to the AgNPs produced less biofilms. On G. melonella model, cefazolin seems to have attenuated the pathogenicity while the 3 other strains were more pathogenic than the controls. Conclusion: Long term exposure of S. aureus to antibiotics and AgNPs induces several changes in susceptibility to other antibiotics, growth rate, biofilm formation and pathogenicity; and these changes should be taken into account when choosing antibiotics for treatment of diseases caused by S. aureus.

In modern society, the inherent differences found between females and males are a sensitive topic of debate. It is common for people to associate females with the possession of stronger and more profound visual and auditory memory in comparison to males. This research explored the variances between the sexes by examining and comparing the auditory and visual memories of a population of females and a population of males. The auditory and visual memories of the different sexes will be analyzed through a variety of tasks that will measure their memory capabilities. Participants of the experiment took two pre-designed tests, a different test for each type of memory. The auditory test included four distinct sounds that played in a specific pattern and challenged the participants’ memory capacities. Through the use of MATLAB, a program developed by MathWorks, and by using coding language, a visual memory game was developed for the visual test. This test contained four different colors that illuminated in a specific sequence. Each participant completed two trials for each type of test to allow them the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential. The analysis of the results contradicted stereotypical beliefs embedded in societal norms. Males collectively demonstrated a higher capacity for memory than females. Notably, both sexes improved their memory performance on the visual tests more than the auditory tests. An application of these results could be used as therapeutic exercises to help strengthen the memory of patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and other memory loss.
