The Effect of Brand Anthropomorphism on Customers’ Behaviour Towards the Indian Hypermarket Brands

This article aims to examine the effect of brand anthropomorphism determinants on the chance of increasing customers’ loving behaviour for the hypermarket brand. For this purpose, the five determinants (brand design, product attributes, brand personification, brand self-congruity [BSC] and brand advertisements) of brand anthropomorphism are explored. Further, the proposed framework is validated with the help of confirmatory factor analysis- structural equation modelling on the sample size of 626 respondents. After that, a logit model is developed for examining the effect of brand anthropomorphism on the probability of customers’ loving/indifferent behaviour for the hypermarket brands using logistic regression analysis. This study is a reasonable effort for investigating the underlying factors of brand anthropomorphism and its influence on customers’ loving behaviour towards the hypermarket brands, which adds a significant contribution to the literature of brand anthropomorphism, customer–brand love and customer–brand relationship.
Soil Enzyme Activities in Waste Biochar Amended Multi-Metal Contaminated Soil; Effect of Different Pyrolysis Temperatures and Application Rates

ABSTRACT Woody biochars derived by pyrolyzing Gliricidia sepium at 300°C and 500°C and a waste byproduct of same biomass from a bioenergy industry (BC700) were tested for their effect on soil enzymes activities and available form of heavy metals in multi-metals contaminated soil. Pot experiments were conducted during 6 weeks with tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) at biochar application rates, 1, 2.5, and 5% (w/w). A reduction in polyphenol oxidase with biochars produced at increasing pyrolysis temperature compared to the control whereas the maximum activity of dehydrogenase and catalase was observed in 1% BC500 and 2.5% BC300, respectively. Soil available form of Ni, Mn, and Cr were reduced by 55, 70% and 80% in 5% BC700 amended soil, respectively. The highest geometric mean of enzyme activities was observed in 2.5% BC300 treatment. Overall the application of high dosages of high temperature derived biochar masks/deteriorates soil enzyme activities but immobilizes bioavailable heavy metals and reduces toxicity.
University Student Perspectives on Movement Breaks in the Classroom

movement break, 8 (40%) preferred slower movement breaks focusing on mobility/stretching and 9 (45%) preferred self-guided breaks. Of the 12 students that neither agreed nor disagreed that movement breaks provided an overall sense of well- being, 2 (16.67%) preferred a more dynamic, faster - paced movement break, 4 (33.33%) preferred slower moveme nt breaks focusing on mobility/stretching and 6 (50%) preferred self -guided breaks. One student who somewhat disagreed that movement breaks provide an overall sense of well-being would rather have a self-guided break during class. Of the 4 students who strongly disagreed that movement breaks provided an overall sense of well- being, 3 (75%) preferred self - guided breaks while 1 (25%) preferred movement breaks that focused more on mobility/stretching. These results suggest that regardless of the sense of overall well-being that movement breaks provide, students vastly prefer either a slower static movement break focusing on stretching/mobility or some sort of self-guided break. Interestingly there is not a significant difference between which of these two types of breaks are preferred, even if students agreed that movement breaks contributed to their overall sense of well-being.
The Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Fungi for Antestia Bugs (Antetiopsis intircata: Pentatomidea, Hemimptera) Control

Antestia bug (Antestiopsis intricata) is the major coffee insect pest affecting coffee productions in Ethiopia. Therefore, the study was carried out to evaluate entomopathogenic fungi based management options for antestia bug control. The efficacy test of entomopathogenic fungi was done under laboratory condition in Jimma Agricultural Research Center, Entomology and Pathology laboratories. The entomopathogenic fungi isolates were brought from Haramaya University and Ambo Agricultural Research Center. Seven isolates of Beauvaria bassiana (DLCO-12, APPRC-0247, DLCO-90, DLCO-56, DLCO-76, PPRC-44BC, and PPRC-27J) and four isolates of Metarhizium ansopliae (PPRC-51, DLCO23A, DLCO-91 and PPRC-02BC) species were tested for germination. Completely Randomized Design with three replications and probit analysis were used for data analysis by using SAS, GenStat and Microsoft excel. Eight isolates: APPRC 0247, DLCO 90, DLCO 56, DLCO 76, PPRC-44BC, PPRC-27J, PPRC-51 and PPRC-02BC which recorded higher germination were used for pathogenicity test against antestia bugs. All the tested isolates killed antestia bugs but their levels of efficacy differ across exposure time. Among tested isolates, PPRC-44BC and PPRC-27J registered complete mortality against antestia bugs and lower median lethal time, LT50 (9.98 and 10.98 days, respectively). As a result these were taken as promising isolates and used for further isolates rate test. PPRC-44BC and PPRC-27J isolates applied at 1x108 conidia ml-1 killed all the tested antestia bugs in shorter exposure time. Even though PPRC-44BC and PPRC-27J isolates showed promising results under laboratory conditions, it needs further investigations on its formulation and under field conditions. Isolations of biocontrols from natural coffee growing areas and the effect of biocontrols against natural enemies should be studied.

Correlation of HIV-1 drug resistant mutations and virologic failure

Introduction mutations are important by ensuring that the HIV-1 agent remains fit in the environment and evades drugs that are developed purposely to kill them. In Kenya, mutations conferring resistance to available ARVs have been reported in previous studies. However, there is a paucity of information on whether these previous studies have reported all mutations conclusively that confer resistance to available drugs leading to virologic failure. Therefore, this study was sought to identify the current HIV-1 drug-resistant mutations attributable to virologic failure among adults on various ARV regimens. Methods the samples were collected March to June 2020. Analysis of viral loads and HIV-1 drug-resistant mutations through sequencing of the pol region of HIV-1 were done. Alignment of the cDNA sequences was done by Recall (beta version 3.05) software. HIV-1 resistant mutations were identified by Stanford University HIV drug resistance database. Results most of the participants had viral loads of more than 1000 copies/ml during all the three visits. Out of 125 mutations identified, 83 mutations resulted in virologic failure. Out of 17 new mutations, 14 resulted in virologic failure and included NRTIs (L74I, L74V, T69D, V65R); NNRTIs (A98G, V179E, V179F, V179D, 179F); PIs (I54V3, F53L2, L89T, G48A). Conclusion the study reveals new HIV-1 drug-resistant mutations which have never been reported in Kenya as well as old and both resulted in virologic failure. This calls for frequent monitoring and profiling of mutations that will enable decision-making in the drugs and vaccine design and development.
Effect of Cross Functional Job Rotation on Corporate Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya

This study sought to examine the effects of cross functional job rotation on corporate financial performance of commercial banks. This study was informed Resource-Based Theory. The study employed positivism. In this study, explanatory research design was adopted. The study targeted 814 employees from 43 commercial banks operating in Kenya according to the CBK supervisory report in 2018. Simple random was used to select 267 employees. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Cronbach alpha was used Reliability, while factor analysis was used to test validity. Data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Findings from Multiple regression showed that job rotation (β1 = 0.169, p < 0.05), had a positive and significant effect on firm performance thus, the study infers that job rotation practices are major determinants of financial performance in banks. In addition, job rotation is likely to strongly improve financial performance. It is also, important for supervisors to allow employees to make decisions without having to consult them regularly. It is utmost necessary for the employees to actively participate in top decision making. Furthermore, the organization structure should be in such a way that it is flexible.
The effects of flower removal and earthing up on tuber yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

A field experiment was conducted in Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia, during the summer season to determine the effects of flower removal and earthing up time on the tuber yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The experiment comprised three flower removal stages and five earthing up time treatments, which were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) of a 5x3 factorial arrangement with three replications. Data collected on tuber yield and quality parameters were analyzed using SAS version 9.2. The interaction of flower removal stages and earthing up time treatments affected marketable and unmarketable tuber number and yield, total tuber number and yield, large-sized tuber weight, and number of large-sized tubers. The medium and small-sized tubers were also affected by main treatments but not by their interaction treatments. Similarly, dry matter content was significantly (p<0.05) affected by flower removal alone, but not by earthing up time and its interaction with flower removal. Generally, the highest marketable tuber yield (30.25 t ha-1), large-sized tuber weight (424.9 g), the number of large-sized tubers (5), and total tuber yield (30.96 t ha-1) were recorded in the treatment of potato flower removed at the bud stage and earthed up at 15 days after complete emergence. Therefore, the removal of potato flowers at the bud stage and earthing up at 15 days after complete emergence and common cultivation can be practiced for better tuber yield and quality of potato.

LINC01213 promotes prostate cancer cell progression through miR-597/ BCL2L1 axis

Background: Majority of cancer related deaths in males are attributed to prostate cancer (PRAD) throughout the world. Recently, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of cancer has been widely explored. In this study, we investigated the role of lncRNA LINC01213 (LINC01213) in tumorigenesis of prostate cancer (PRAD). Methods: PRAD and adjacent tissue samples were collected from cancer patients. Survival rate among these patients was compared by Kaplan–Meier analysis. PRAD cells viability was estimated by CCK-8 method while AnnexinV/PI cytometry assay was used to determine the percent of apoptotic cells. qRT-PCR and western blot assay were used to determine the mRNA and protein expressions, respectively. Interaction between LINC01213 and corresponding miRNA as well as between miRNA and mRNA was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. PRAD cells were also injected subcutaneously in nude mice to support in vitro findings.Results: It was observed that LINC01213 was highly expressed in PRAD samples and cell lines. Down-regulation of LINC01213 in PRAD cells decreased cell viability and inhibited proliferation. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down confirmed that LINC01213 targeted miR-597-3p. Increased expression of miR-597-3p resulted in decreased BCL2L2 expression in vitro. Inhibitory effects of miR-597-3p on PRAD cells’ survival and growth were diminished after LINC01213 overexpression which was also associated with alteration in the protein expression of BCL-xL, BCL-2 as well as caspase 3 and caspase 9.Conclusion: Taken together, our findings suggest that LINC01213 plays its role in PRAD tumorigenesis through miR-597-3p/ BCL2L2 dependent pathway with associated modulation of genes involved in cell survival and apoptosis.

Structure and Conformations of the Bovine ATP Synthase by Single Particle Electron Cryomicroscopy

Structure and conformations of the bovine ATP synthase by single-particle electron cryomicroscopy Anna Zhou Master of Science Graduate Department of Medical Biophysics University of Toronto 2016 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of biology, is synthesized primarily by the mitochondrial ATP synthase in most eukaryotes. Proton translocation in the membrane-bound FO region leads to ATP synthesis in the catalytic F1 region through rotation of a central rotor. The generation of rotation is proposed to occur through a Brownian ratchet mechanism requiring two offset half-channels in the FO region. Here, using single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), seven distinct conformations within three rotational states of the ATP synthase are presented at sub-nanometre resolution. An average of the FO region of all seven maps provided a detailed view of the proton-translocating a subunit, allowing an atomic model to be built using evolutionary co-variance. The arrangement of subunits in the membrane region suggests two halfchannels for proton translocation. These channels, along with an observed oscillation of the c8-ring in the FO region between substates in each rotational state, supports the Brownian ratchet mechanism for the generation of rotor rotation and ATP synthesis.
Green synthesis of copper nanoparticle using glucose and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)

ABSTRACT A simple, environmentally benign green synthesis of stable polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-capped copper nanoparticle was achieved using glucose. Characterization of PVP-capped copper nanoparticle was done using UV–visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, particle size analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Effect of pH on the synthesis of PVP-capped copper nanoparticle was also studied. Spherical shaped copper nanoparticle of average size 200 ± 50 was obtained. PVP-capped copper nanoparticles were found to be stable for nearly 2 months. Such a stable and monodispersed copper nanoparticle can further be used in conductive printing, optical sensing, catalysis, and biosensing applications.
