Construction of Soybean Mutant Diversity Pool (MDP) Lines and an Analysis of Their Genetic Relationships and Associations Using TRAP Markers

Mutation breeding is useful for improving agronomic characteristics of various crops. In this study, we conducted a genetic diversity and association analysis of soybean mutants to assess elite mutant lines. On the basis of phenotypic traits, we chose 208 soybean mutants as a mutant diversity pool (MDP). We then investigated the genetic diversity and inter-relationships of these MDP lines using target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) markers. Among the different TRAP primer combinations, polymorphism levels and polymorphism information content (PIC) values averaged 59.71% and 0.15, respectively. Dendrogram and population structure analyses divided the MDP lines into four major groups. According to an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), the percentage of inter-population variation among mutants was 11.320 (20.6%), whereas mutant intra-population variation ranged from 0.231 (0.4%) to 14.324 (26.1%). Overall, intra-population genetic similarity was higher than that of inter-populations. In an analysis of the association between TRAP markers and agronomic traits using three different statistical approaches based on the single factor analysis (SFA), the Q general linear model (GLM), and the mixed linear model (Q+K MLM), we detected six significant marker–trait associations involving five phenotypic traits. Our results suggest that the MDP has great potential for soybean genetic resources and that TRAP markers are useful for the selection of soybean mutants for soybean mutation breeding.
The Impact of College Training and Vocational Rehabilitation Services on Employment for Consumers with Hearing Loss

Many deaf and hard of hearing consumers of the federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) program choose higher education training while similar consumers bypass college and prepare for work through other means. An ex-post facto study was conducted to determine which VR services predict competitive employment for two subgroups of consumers: those with hearing loss who received college training and those with hearing loss who did not receive college training. A comparison of the findings from multiple logistic regression analyses run on cases within a database of the Rehabilitation Services Administration reveal differences in effective services across these two subgroups.
Bounds and Complexity Results for Learning Coalition-Based Interaction Functions in Networked Social Systems

Using a discrete dynamical system model for a networked social system, we consider the problem of learning a class of local interaction functions in such networks. Our focus is on learning local functions which are based on pairwise disjoint coalitions formed from the neighborhood of each node. Our work considers both active query and PAC learning models. We establish bounds on the number of queries needed to learn the local functions under both models. We also establish a complexity result regarding efﬁcient consistent learners for such functions. Our experimental results on synthetic and real social networks demonstrate how the number of queries depends on the structure of the underlying network and number of coalitions.
Quality in residential care: exploring residents’, family members’, managers’ and staff perspectives

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the indicators of quality in care for people working and living in aged residential care (ARC) settings. Design/methodology/approach This research was conducted using an ethnographic design in two distinct ARC facilities in a New Zealand city, a large facility with residential, dementia and hospital level care, and a small family owned facility providing residential care only. In total, 50 hours of observational data were collected, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 people, including managers, careworkers, nurses, family members and residents. These data were thematically analysed using the constant comparative method. Findings The main indicators of quality for staff, family and residents included: a home-like, friendly and safe environment; good medical and personal care; respect for the residents; and good staff. Participants also acknowledged the need for adjustments by residents to living in aged care; and the challenges of caring for increasingly frail residents. Originality/value Findings support the growing recognition of a need for resident-centred approaches to ARC that are reflected in government policy and regulatory apparatus. Managers in ARC facilities must balance adherence with health and safety standards, and providing an environment where their residents can enjoy a meaningful life that has purpose and value.
Treatment of Bone and Joint Infection

Regardless of advances in antibiotics and surgical treatment, bone and joint infections remain refractory diseases. We report on 5 patients treated with antibiotic impregnated PMMC beads. Subjects included 3 men and 2 women with a mean age of 49.4 years (range: 4-74 years) with an average follow-up of 4 years 1 month (range: 1 year 3 months to 7 years 4 months). We treated 3 cases of osteomyelitis and 2 cases of postoperative infections by mixing antibiotics at 3 times the maximum dose with PMMC beads, and inserted them for 3 to 11 weeks (mean 5.8 weeks). We measured the serum concentration of antibiotics after inserting the antibiotic-PMMC beads, and investigated the amount of antibiotic leaching into the surrounding tissue. All cases improved on clinical examination, and made satisfactory progress. We confirmed that the treatment of bone and joint infection by antibiotic-PMMC beads was safe ad effective.
Impact of Financial Literacy on Investment Decisions: The Mediating Effect of Big-Five Personality Traits Model

The study examines the impact of financial literacy on investment decisions with the mediating effect of personality traits based on the big-five model. A total of 235 responses from Karachi were collected using the convenience sampling technique. The five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used alongside the Smart-PLS software for data analysis. The results suggest that financial literacy did not have a significant effect on investment decisions through agreeableness, conscientiousness and extraversion. However, financial literacy has a significant negative impact on investment decisions through openness to experience and a significant positive impact through neuroticism. The study helps improve our understanding of investor behavior by considering the mediating role of big five personality traits on the relationship between financial literacy and investment decisions. It is recommended that financial institutions should provide investment counseling services to prospective investors using the consumer profile technique. Keywords: Financial literacy, big-five model, investment decisions, PLS-SEM, Pakistan.
PRI Modulation Recognition Based on Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks

Pulse repetition interval (PRI) modulation recognition is a significant means to analyze radar working statuses and missions in Electronic Support system. Traditional methods may be insufficient to accurately recognize complex PRI at low SNR with high percentages of missing pulses. In this letter, an approach based on Squeeze-and-Excitation networks (SE-Net) and the autocorrelation functions for PRI modulation recognition automatically is proposed. Firstly, the features of six PRI modulation types in the autocorrelation domain are converted into images by calculating instantaneous autocorrelation functions. Then, the images will be the input of SE-Net which will automatically learn about deep features of different PRI modulation modes. Finally, SE-Net will output PRI modulation modes directly. Simulation results show that SE-Net is robust to the noise and missing pulses. The accuracies for all PRI modulation modes are more than 95% at −10dB with 30% missing pulses and more than 96% at −2dB with 50% missing pulses. Compared with traditional method and other networks, SE-Net can achieve better recognition performance at low SNR and high percentages of missing pulses.
The Influence of Transformational Leadership, Organizational Climate, and Job Stress on Competence, Work Motivation, and Performance

: This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership, organizational climate, and job stress on competence, work motivation, and performance of lecturer in the province of East Java, Indonesia. The research method used in this study was a descriptive explorative that aims to find new things in this field. The population of this study was the lecturers of 7 private universities in East Java, while samples were taken based on the Slovin's formula, and the results were 161 lecturers. The results indicated that transformational leadership, organizational climate, competence, and motivation of the lecturer get high rating cat-egories and could increase their performance. While the hypotheses testing showed that transformational leadership, organizational climate, and job stress had a significant effect on competence, motivation, and job performance of lecturers, but transformational leadership did not significantly affect the motivation of lecturers in East Java.
Comparison of Celiac Dietary Adherence Test and Biagi Compliance Scores in Celiac Patients

Objectives: CDAT and Biagi are scores developed to assess compliance to a gluten free diet among celiac patients. Primary objective: To show whether there is a consistency in CDAT and Biagi compliance levels Methods: A total of 143 questionnaires were filled. 50 were filled as phone surveys and 93 were answered electronically. Subjects are confirmed celiac disease patients obtained from the celiac society. Results: The correlation coefficient between the CDAT score and the BIAGI score is a high significant moderate negative correlation (r=-0.339 p<0.0005) Conclusion: CDAT and Biagi showed significant coinciding in their categorization of compliance. However, due to discrepancy in the noncompliant cateogory, f urther analysis needs to be done to determine which score is better in identifying non-compliance.
Modeling River Ice Breakup Dates by k-Nearest Neighbor Ensemble

Forecasting of river ice breakup timing is directly related to the local ice-caused flooding management. However, river ice forecasting using k-nearest neighbor (kNN) algorithms is limited. Thus, a kNN stacking ensemble learning (KSEL) method was developed and applied to forecasting breakup dates (BDs) for the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray in Canada. The kNN base models with diverse inputs and distance functions were developed and their outputs were further combined. The performance of these models was examined using the leave-one-out cross validation method based on the historical BDs and corresponding climate and river conditions in 1980–2015. The results indicated that the kNN with the Chebychev distance functions generally outperformed other kNN base models. Through the simple average methods, the ensemble kNN models using multiple-type (Mahalanobis and Chebychev) distance functions had the overall optimal performance among all models. The improved performance indicates that the kNN ensemble is a promising tool for river ice forecasting. The structure of optimal models also implies that the breakup timing is mainly linked with temperature and water flow conditions before breakup as well as during and just after freeze up.
Subsidiary country managers and subsidiary development: Upper echelons and resource-based perspectives

This article examines the relationship between subsidiary country manager-level factors and subsidiary development. As existing research on subsidiaries in multinational enterprises has focused on the organizational level, thus overlooking the individual level, it offers little insight regarding the role and importance of country managers for subsidiaries. Drawing upon upper echelons theory, resource-dependence theory, and the resource-based view, we argue that subsidiary development is contingent on country manager characteristics, and that country manager assignments are less likely when the host country is perceived as being of limited strategic importance to the multinational enterprise. Survey data from 429 foreign-owned subsidiaries in New Zealand provide support for our hypotheses. We derive some theoretical and managerial implications based on the findings.
Perception and Attitude towards Wearing White Coats in Public Places among Dental Undergraduates and Postgraduates of Davangere City, India.

Introduction: Wearing a white coat is an accepted part of medical and dental practice. The actual use of white coats and how often they are changed varies greatly among individuals and their specialties. There has always been some concern that white coats may actually play a part in transmitting pathogenic bacteria. Objectives: To assess the perception and attitudes of dental undergraduates and postgraduates towards wearing white coats in public. Methods: 1146 structured, closed ended questionnaires were distributed to all undergraduates and postgraduates of two colleges in Davangere. Chi-square test was used to test associations between the responses among the genders and the responses within the educational levels of the Original Research Article Rai et al.; BJMMR, 12(8): 1-10, 2016; Article no.BJMMR. 22169 2 participants. Binary logistic regression models were fitted to the data to calculate odds ratios (OR) for the responses among the genders. Results: A response rate of 88.74% was obtained, 93.5% of subjects had seen doctors wearing white coats in public, 24% of participants agreed that the lack of provision for storage of aprons could be the possible reason for wearing white coats outside the clinical setting. 52.5% of students believed that white coats are potential source for spreading infection. Conclusion: The present study highlights the fact that white coats are potential source of cross infection. Strict audit process and protocols should be set in workplace for preventing cross‐contamination from the white coats.
Scar Formation and Tuberculin Skin Test Response After Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Vaccination: Does Prematurity or Low Birth Weight Have an Impact?

Objectives: The present study aimed at evaluating factors affecting scar formation and tuberculin skin test (TST) response in Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccinated infants. Methods: In the current study, 216 infants with gestational age (GA) of 26 to 40 weeks and birth weight of 730 g to 4590 g were included. The mean corrected age was 6.27 ± 3.79 weeks, and the mean weight was 4442.4 ± 1084.1 g (range 2100 - 7700 g) at the time of BCG vaccination. TST was applied at 8 to 16 weeks of vaccination. Factors affecting TST response and BCG scar formation were evaluated. Results: A scar response to BCG vaccination was found in 60%, 49.4%, and 59.7% of the infants with GA 2500 g, 1500 - 2500 g, and 10 mm developed scars ≥ 2 mm (r = 0.360; P = 0.001). Conclusions: Prematurity or birth weight does not affect BCG scar formation. TST response is lower in preterm babies. The correlation between scar formation and TST response was too low to be interpreted as positive.

The correlation of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets with prognosis in lung cancer patients

Objective: To study the relationship of lymphocyte subsets with prognosis and clinico-pathologic features in lung can- cer patients. Methods: Flow cytometry was used to analyze the distribution of T-lymphocyte subsets and natural killer cells in the pe- ripheral blood of lung cancer patients, patients with benign pulmonary diseases, and healthy controls. The peripheral-blood lymphocyte levels of the subjects were compared. Clinical data obtained from 102 lung cancer cases were reviewed retrospectively, and the relation- ship of lymphocyte subsets with prognosis and clinico-pathologic features was analyzed. Results: The level of CD4+ T cells was lower in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients than that of the healthy controls (P 0.05). However, the abnormal distribution of lympho- cyte subsets was related to lymphatic metastasis, TNM stage, and tumorigenesis P<0.05). Conclusion: The distribution of T-lympho- cyte subsets and natural killer cells was abnormal in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients, and the dynamic changes in distribu- tion can help assess the immune functions of lung cancer patients. Cellular immune function can act as a prognostic indicator in lung cancer patients.
Nursing experiences of caring for the geriatric person with delirium: an integrated literature review

This paper explores the extant quantitative and qualitative knowledge that seeks to understand the nursing experiences of caring for the geriatric person with delirium. A comprehensive literature review was conducted and a synthesis of the results form the conceptual framework for this project. An analysis of common themes reveals that nurses‟ lack adequate knowledge of delirium and that they were frequently unable to recognize delirium. Additionally, attitudes of ageism and organizational culture contributed to these under recognition rates and the provision of adequate care for the geriatric person. The under recognition of delirium predetermined a vulnerability to higher levels of morbidity, institutionalization, and mortality in the older adult. Nurses experienced moral distress, workload stress, the fear of bodily harm, and selfperceived professional inadequacy. The nursing experiences of caring for this population may uncover seminal knowledge that could lead to an increase in delirium recognition rates, enhanced health outcomes for the older adult, and a less stressful work environment for nurses.
Open Dialogue: Frequently Asked Questions

Open Dialogue is an approach to working with people and their families experiencing psychosocial distress. Interest in Open Dialogue in Australia has been growing recently, raising questions about its adaption and implementation to local contexts. This article is an attempt to answer some of the frequently asked questions we have encountered in training and discussions about Open Dialogue. We attempt to provide responses to questions of how Open Dialogue is different to what is done already, how it fits with current approaches, how you know if you are doing it, whether it is passive or just about doing reflections, issues about including the social network, and concerns about the evidence base. This article aims to present a variety of viewpoints in relation to these questions and to hopefully further discussions on how Open Dialogue can be implemented and adapted to Australian health care and social care contexts.
Pulmonary Pathology of Early Phase SARS-COV-2 Pneumonia

There is currently a lack of pathologic data on the SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, or COVID-19, from autopsy or biopsy. Two patients who recently underwent lung lobectomies for adenocarcinoma were retrospectively found to have had COVID-19 at the time of surgery. These two cases thus provide important first opportunities to study the pathology of COVID-19. Pathologic examinations revealed that, apart from the tumors, the lungs of both patients exhibited edema, proteinaceous exudate with globules, focal hyperplasia of pneumocytes with only patchy inflammatory cellular infiltration, and multinucleated giant cells. Hyaline membranes were not prominent. Since both patients did not exhibit symptoms of pneumonia at the time of surgery, these changes likely represent an early phase of the lung pathology of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Implicit attitudes and explicit cognitions jointly predict a reduced red meat intake: a three-wave longitudinal study

ABSTRACT Background: Despite nutritional benefits, a high consumption of red meat is not without risks as it is linked to the development of certain types of cancer as well as to other non-communicable diseases, such as type II diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the production of meat has negative effects on the environment. Therefore, a transition to a less meat-based diet could be beneficial. It is unclear how explicit cognitions towards red meat consumption and implicit attitudes jointly influence intention and consumption. We tested the additive pattern (both types of cognitions explain unique variance) and interactive pattern (both types interact in the prediction). Method: At baseline (T0; N = 1790) and one (T1; n = 980) and three months thereafter (T2; n = 556), explicit cognitions, red meat consumption, and implicit attitudes were assessed among a Dutch sample. Results: Only explicit cognitions were associated with red meat consumption. Implicit attitudes moderated the effect of self-efficacy on T0-RMC; negative implicit attitudes strengthened this effect. T0-intention was associated with explicit cognitions and implicit attitudes. Additionally, negative implicit attitudes strengthened the effect of social norms on T0 and T2-intention. Regarding red meat consumption, support for the interactive pattern was found. For intention there was support for the interactive and additive pattern. Conclusion: Interventions aiming to reduce red meat consumption in the general public might profit from changing implicit attitudes in addition to explicit cognitions.
Physiological and psychological effects of olfactory stimulation with D-Limonene

Although D-Limonene can be considered an important component of nature-based stimuli, the physiological effects of olfactory stimulation with D-Limonene have not been completely clarified by scientific studies. The physiological and psychological effects of olfactory stimulation with D-Limonene were studied measuring heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate, and subjective evaluation using a modified semantic differential method; thirteen Japanese female university students (mean age±SD, 21.5±1.0 years) participated in the study. A concentration of 60 μL of D-Limonene was used as olfactory stimulant and room air as control. Subjects were exposed for 90 s while sitting with eyes closed. During D-Limonene inhalation: (1) the high-frequency (HF) value of HRV, a marker of parasympathetic nervous activity that is enhanced in relaxing situations, was significantly higher; (2) the heart rate was significantly lower; and (3) subjects reported feeling significantly more comfortable during D-Limonene administration than control. The results obtained clearly indicate that olfactory stimulation with D-Limonene induced physiological and psychological relaxation, providing important scientific evidence of the health benefits of D-Limonene.
