What are the views of pastoral staff regarding exclusion from secondary school

The detrimental outcomes of school exclusion are well documented within research literature. Literature in this area has primarily focused on ascertaining the perspectives of children and young people (CYP) who have been excluded from school. However, very little research has included the perspectives of school pastoral staff, even less has focused solely on their views. This thesis aims to contribute to this identified gap in research by exploring the perspectives of pastoral staff on exclusion from secondary school. Eight pastoral staff, from eight secondary schools within a large county in the East of England participated in the research. Using a qualitative research design, participants’ perspectives were sought through the medium of semi-structured interviews. The dataset was analysed using an inductive approach to thematic analysis and three main themes were identified. These themes encapsulated the attributions made by pastoral staff around the ecosystemic factors underpinning school exclusion; the types of internal and external support that the school accessed and what more could be done to support CYP who are at risk of exclusion. The ecosystemic factors underpinning school exclusion are difficult to disentangle. It is proposed that an ecological systems approach to tackling school exclusion is taken with a particular focus on early intervention to lessen some of the negative outcomes for both the individual and the wider society.
The pharmacokinetics of cefepime in E. coli lipopolysaccharide induced febrile buffalo calves.

JOSHI, B. , S. K. SHARMA: The pharmacokinetics of cefepime in E. coli lipopolysaccharide induced febrile buffalo calves. Vet. arhiv 79, 523-530, 2009. ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of cefepime after its single intravenous administration (10 mg/kg) was investigated in experimentally induced fever in buffalo calves (n = 4). The fever was induced by single/ repeated intravenous injection of E. coli lipopolysaccaride (1 μg/kg). The drug was estimated in plasma samples by microbiological assay using E. coli (MTCC 739) test organism. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of cefepime in febrile animals was described by a two compartment open model. At 1 min, the concentration of cefepime in plasma was 40.8 ± 0.98 μg/mL which rapidly declined to 23.0 ± 0.64 μg/mL at 15 min. The drug was detected up to 24 h. The elimination half-life and volume of distribution were 3.00 ± 0.18 h and 0.42 ± 0.02 L/kg, respectively. The distribution half-life, AUC and total body clearance (ClB) were 0.08 ± 0.002 h, 101 ± 7.65 μg/mL.h and 98.8 ± 6.06 mL/kg/h, respectively. To maintain a minimum therapeutic concentration of 1 μg/mL, a satisfactory dosage regimen of cefepime in febrile buffalo calves would be 7 mg/kg repeated at 12 h intervals.
Accrual-Based Accounting System Model Implementation in the State Budget and Treasury System with Technology Acceptance Model 3 Approach at the Regional Office V in the Directorate General of State Treasury of Jambi Province

: The application of accrual-based accounting in government organizations requires an IT-based accounting system and complex information quality. However, the implementation of a new system or technology tends to confuse the potential users, or its presence is rejected by them. With these problems, the purposes of the research are to assess the user behavior on the implementation of Sistem Perbendaharaan dan Anggaran Negara (SPAN) or the State Budget and Treasury System in the Directorate General of State Treasury, of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia, to assess and to build the effectiveness of accrual-based accounting system model that is run in SPAN using Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM 3), as well as to build and to produce new model on TAM 3. The respondents’ answer data indicated that perceived usefulness was either perceived of ease or difficult of using accrual information to decision making, behavioral intention meant the desire of how people were willing hard to try doing that behavior which became the critical issue of high frequency of behavior in using accrual-based financial report information to decision making.
Histochemical study on the mammary gland of Indian buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

The histochemical study on mammary glands of Indian buffalo revealed that neutral mucopolysaccharids and basic proteins were more in the alveoli of lactating gland, whereas acid mucopolysaccharides were better demonstrated in stromal tissue of non-lactating gland. The sudanophilic lipid was better demonstrated in epithelium of alveoli and duct system of lactating buffalo. The corpora amylacea was strongly positive for neutral mucopolysaccharides and basic protein in non-lactating mammary gland.
Relationship between sires' estimated breeding value for first lactation and lifetime traits in Sahiwal and Hariana cattle

Data Oil Hariana and Sahiwal cows sired by 46 and 39 sires, respectively, and maintained at U.P. State Govemment Livestock farms at Chack Ganjaria and Bubugarh, were used to evaluate sires for first lactation and lifetime productivity. First lactation traits included in lhe study were age at first calving, total lactation milk yield, 300-day milk yield and lactation length. Lifetime traits were herdlife, lifetime milk yield, productive life, number of days in milk and number of lactations completed. A multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) procedure was used to estimate sire's breeding value. Multi-trait mixed model included the year-season of calving and sire genetie group as random effect. The estimates of Tank and product moment correlations among estimates of sire's breeding value indicated that all sires would not rank same for first lactation and lifetime performance traits. However, the ranks of sire for different traits revealed that 4-5% of top sires almost had similar rank for firstlaetation and lifetime traits. Results suggest that major culling of bulls to be used to breed cows should be doneon the basis of first lactation traits. To improve the lifetime productivity of dairy animal, evaluation of dairy sires for lifetime traits conld be used as additional criteria for the bulls to be used as sires of future bulls.
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN INSULIN RESISTANCE AND EARLY SPONTANEOUS MISCARRIAGES IN JOS - PLATEAU STATE

BACKGROUND: Recurrent spontaneous miscarriages (RSM) remain a major challenge to gynaecologists as 50% of aetiologies of spontaneous miscarriages are unknown. Insulin resistance (IR) has been implicated as an aetiological factor. However, there are insufficient and conflicting evidence regarding the contribution of insulin resistance to the occurrence of RSM. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and first trimester recurrent spontaneous miscarriages in comparison with first trimester normal pregnancies.DESIGN: Case control study. METHODOLOGY: This was a case-control study involving 80 women with first trimester RSM (cases) and 80 Women with normal first trimester pregnancies with at least one successful pregnancy and no history of miscarriages (Controls). From each participant fasting blood glucose (FG) was assayed by automated colorimetric enzymatic analysis and fasting insulin (FI) was assayed by BIOS Human insulin ELISA kits. Data was analysed using SPSS version 22.0. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the mean age and BMI of cases and controls (p= 0.990 and 0.930 respectively). FG was significantly higher in cases compared to controls, (4.77±1.14 vs 3.58±0.78)mmol/L, p 4.5) and (FG/FI ratio 4.5 was statistically significant between cases and controls, p = 0.009. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that women with recurrent first trimester miscarriages are more likely to be insulin resistant with higher fasting blood glucose levels compared to women with normal first trimester pregnancies.
Feeding preference of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytosei- idae) towards untreated and Beauveria bassiana-treated Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) on cucumber leaves

Determination of the host preference of predatory mites when receiving signals related to either untreated and Beauveria bassiana -treated Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) is important in predicting the predatory mite’s reaction when encountering pathogens due to their coincident presence in greenhouses and fields. Here, we have studied the preference of female predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) when choosing between untreated and B. bassiana -treated T. urticae (72 hours after treatment of spider mite by fungus) on leaves. This investigation showed a highly significant preference of P. persimilis towards untreated T. urticae (P< 0.0001). We concluded that the predatory mite is capable to recognize fungus-treated prey and prefers to prey on the uninfected ones. This suggests that the predatory mite and the fungus may be compatible agents of biological control.
Knowledge and practices of breastfeeding among rural postnatal mothers in Central India

Background: Breastfeeding is known to be central in an infant’s nutrition and growth worldwide. However, breastfeeding rates have remained low during this crucial period due to various misconceptions and cultural beliefs. This study was planned to assess the knowledge and practices of breast feeding and identify misconceptions regarding breastfeeding in the postnatal mothers from rural central India. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational questionnaire based study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital in rural part of central India. A total of 100 postnatal mothers attending the pediatric out-patient department were enrolled in the study. Subjects were informed about the study, written consent taken and a structured questionnaire was administered to them. Results: About one third (34%) of the mothers were either illiterate or received only primary education. Only 18% mothers had received antenatal counseling about breast feeding and only 28% had their breast examination done. Although majority of the mothers (86%) were breastfeeding their babies, only 22% had initiated breastfeeding within an hour of delivery. Only 70% mothers knew that exclusive breastfeeding should be given for first six months and only 58% believed that it should be continued till 2 years age. Only 18% mothers knew about the correct technique of breastfeeding. Conclusions: This study reveals that the knowledge and practices of postnatal mothers regarding breastfeeding are far from satisfactory. Our study emphasizes the need for education of mothers especially during antenatal visits and whenever the healthcare providers get an opportunity to sensitize them about the correct technique, early initiation and exclusiveness of breastfeeding for first 6 months.

Composio qumica dos cascos de eqinos das raas Pantaneira e Mangalarga Marchador

Chemical composition (dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, ash, calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc and amino acid profile) in black and non-pigmented hooves from non-lactating five-to ten-year-old Pantaneira and Mangalarga Marchador mares raised in central and southeastern Brazil was studied. In the Pantaneira breed, phosphorus concentration was higher in non-pigmented than in black hooves, but hoof color did not affect any other composition variables. Likewise, black versus non-pigmented hooves did not differ for any composition variable in the Mangalarga Marchador mares.
Investigation of Methanosarcinales and Methanomicrobiales Presence within a Dry Anaerobic Digester

Greenhouse gasses such as methane and carbon dioxide are thought to play a major role in global climate change. Anaerobic digesters function to produce energy using the methane derived from organic matter which would typically be deposited in landfills. The three main types of digesters are low-solids wet digesters, high-solids wet digesters, and dry anaerobic digesters. Dry anaerobic digesters are drastically rarer than wet digesters, and the microbial community responsible for the production of biogas is consequently less-studied than in other types of digesters. In this study, the 16S rRNA gene copy concentrations of Methanosarcinales spp. and Methanomicrobiales spp. were determined using qPCR during a 28-day fermentation cycle. Biogas analysis showed that fermenters with an added carbon source, microcrystalline cellulose, produced a greater volume of biogas and methane than those without substrate. At each point in the 28-day fermentation, Methanosarcinales spp. were present at approximately 107 16S rRNA genes per gram of sample, whereas Methanomicrobiales spp. had concentrations between 104 and 106 16S genes per gram of sample. Overall, Methanosarcinales spp. were consistently more abundant at every tested time point. The different concentrations of methanogens could indicate that the nutrients and conditions within the tested digester are more suited to the metabolism of Methanosarcinales spp. than Methanomicrobiales spp. This information helps to fill the knowledge gap concerning methanogen presence in dry anaerobic digesters, and could be used in the future to dictate the type of substrate used in a particular dry anaerobic digester.

Intensive care Muscle Wasting and Weakness : Underlying Mechanisms, Muscle Specific Differences and a Specific Intervention Strategy

Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) plays a key role in triggering the impaired diaphragm muscle function and the concomitant delayed weaning from the respirator in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients. To date, experimental and clinical studies have primarily focused on early effects on the diaphragm by CMV, or at specific time points. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the impaired diaphragm muscle function in response to mechanical ventilation, we have performed time‐resolved analyses between 6 h and 14 days using an experimental rat ICU model allowing detailed studies of the diaphragm in response to long‐term CMV. A rapid and early decline in maximum muscle fibre force and preceding muscle fibre atrophy was observed in the diaphragm in response to CMV, resulting in an 85% reduction in residual diaphragm fibre function after 9–14 days of CMV. A modest loss of contractile proteins was observed and linked to an early activation of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, myosin:actin ratios were not affected and the transcriptional regulation of myosin isoforms did not show any dramatic changes during the observation period. Furthermore, small angle X‐ray diffraction analyses demonstrate that myosin can bind to actin in an ATP‐dependent manner even after 9–14 days of exposure to CMV. Thus, quantitative changes in muscle fibre size and contractile proteins are not the dominating factors underlying the dramatic decline in diaphragm muscle function in response to CMV, in contrast to earlier observations in limb muscles. The observed early loss of subsarcolemmal neuronal nitric oxide synthase activity, onset of oxidative stress, intracellular lipid accumulation and post‐translational protein modifications strongly argue for significant qualitative changes in contractile proteins causing the severely impaired residual function in diaphragm fibres after long‐term mechanical ventilation. For the first time, the present study demonstrates novel changes in the diaphragm structure/function and underlying mechanisms at the gene, protein and cellular levels in response to CMV at a high temporal resolution ranging from 6 h to 14 days.
The Role of Country-Level Differences in Influencing ASEAN Firms’ Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions (CBMAs) Success

The preference of using CBMAs as an external growth strategy spurs the interest to examining whether or not the CBMA transaction creates value that leads to a CBMA success. The decreasing trend of completed CBMA and non-value creation indicated that CBMA is a riskier transaction compared to the domestic M&As, which might be due to the risks related to cross-border transactions. Thus, this study explores the effect of the cultural distance, geographic distance, and the level of economic development in the ASEAN CBMA success. A total of 348 CBMA transactions involving the ASEAN bidder and 246 CBMA transactions involving the ASEAN target, announced and completed during the year 2002 to 2013, were analysed. Consistent with the social identity theory, a large cultural distance (power distance dimension) between the target and bidding country could adversely affect the CBMA success of ASEAN firms. Meanwhile, the geographic distance has no significant effect on the ASEAN CBMA success. The different level of economic development between the target and bidder also has a negative effect on the ASEAN CBMA success, contradicting the resourcebased view theory.
Weak or strong invaders? A comparison of impact between the native and invaded ranges of mammals and birds alien to Europe

Aim Species introduced to an area outside of their native range are often thought to have higher impact in this new area. We examined whether this is really the case in mammals and birds and to what extent. In particular, we explored how impacts of alien species vary in relationship to invader identity and type of impact.
A new tarantula genus Psednocnemis, from West Malaysia (Araneae: Theraphosidae), with cladistic analyses and biogeography of Selenocosmiinae Simon 1889

The selenocosmiine genus Psednocnemis gen. nov. is described from the Sundaland region of South-east Asia. The typespecies Psednocnemis davidgohi sp. nov., which the male was incorrectly identified as Coremiocnemis hoggi West N ingroup: Chilobrachys Karsch 1891; Coremiocnemis Simon 1892; Haplocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth 1996; Lyrognathus Pocock 1895; Orphnaecus Simon 1892; Phlogiellus Pocock 1897; Poecilotheria Simon 1885; Psednocnemis gen. nov.; Selenobrachys Schmidt 1999; Selenocosmia Ausserer1871 (in part: Sundaland fauna only); Yamia Kishida 1920. The results presented Psednocnemis gen. nov. as monophyleticbased on presence of a distal embolic spiral curl in males and presence of a distodorsal spiniform brush on the retrolateralsurfaces of coxa IV, as well as the reduction in density of hair type 4, located along the proximoventral abdomen of bothsexes. Two new tribes are described: Chilobrachini trib. nov. and Phlogiellini trib. nov., based upon basal nodes with stron-gest branch support that best reflected natural groups. Selenocosmiini Simon 1889 and Poecilotheriini Simon 1889 arerevised and redescribed. Yamia Kishida 1920 is placed into junior synonymy of Phlogiellus (syn. nov.); Chilocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth 1992 and Selenobrachys Schmidt 1999 are placed into junior synonymy of Orphnaecus (syn. nov.); Selenocosmia xinping Zhu & Zhang 2008 is transferred to Phlogiellus, makng the new combination Phlogiellus xinping (Zhu & Zhang 2008) comb. nov.; Selenocosmia dichromata (Schmidt & von Wirth 1992) is transferred to Orphnaecus, making the new combination Orphnaecus dichromata (Schmit & von Wirth 1992) comb. nov.; Coremiocnemis brachyra- mosa West & Nunn 2010, Coremiocnemis gnathospina West & Nunn 2010, Coremiocnemis jeremyhuffi West & Nunn2010 and Selenocosmia imbellis (Simon 1891) are transferred to Psednocnemis gen. et comb. nov. Poecilotherinae(Schmidt 1995) is no longer considered a valid subfamily and is replaced into Selenocosmiinae as the tribe Poecilotheriini. Chilocosmia barensteinerae Schmidt et al. 2010 is considered a Selenocosmiinae species incertae sedis. Ischnocolella senffti Strand 1907 is considered a nomen dubium. All other genera examined were retrieved as monophyletic in the firstcladistic analyses exclusive to Selenocosmiinae genera (Australo-Papuan selenocosmiines are outside the scope of thiswork and are not considered). Biogeography of all Selenocosmiinae is discussed; the group is a potential model North Gondwanan taxon. A key to Psednocnemis species is provided.
Effect of planting dates, nitrogen and phosphorus levels on yield confrlbuting factors in french bean

Field axperiment was conducted to study the response of frech bean to different planting dates, nitrogen and phosphorus levels. The results indicated that 15th October sowing yielded significantly higher then fanner practice. The maximum increase in growth and yield was obtained when nitrogen and phosphorus were applied at 120 kg N/ha and 120 kg P2O5/ha.
The influence of fish oil supplementation to the feed ration of cows on the level of cholesterol and its fraction in their blood serum.

The aim of the searching was to define the influence of fish oil supplement to the feed ration of high producing cows on the level of cholesterol and its fraction in their blood serum. The research was carried out on primiparous cows (1 – without supplementation, 2 – fish oil supplementation) as well as on multiparous cows (3 – without supplementation, 4 – fish oil supplementation) in the period from the 10th day till the 8th week after calving. Cows were given, together with the feed ration (TMR system), fish oil in amount of 1% of daily ration of dry matter, during all the experiment period. At the first day of experiment and after 4, 6 and 8 weeks, level of cholesterol and its fraction in the blood serum of examined cows has been signified. On the basis of received results an increase of total cholesterol by all examined individuals and what follows, increase of its fraction, has been stated. By the primiparous cows of control group the increase was highest at the end of the experiment – 130% in relation to the initial value and by the individuals receiving 1% of fish oil in the feed ration, only 18%. By multiparous cows, receiving the supplementation, twice as small increase of LDL fraction concentration in relation to the control individuals has been observed.
