Alteration of Mother’s Sexual Activity during Pregnancy

Background: Sexual activity during pregnancy is one of the significant issues for both pregnant women and health care provider, though rarely disclosed. Studies on this topic have been done broadly, though still no conclusion.Objective: To analize the change of mother’s sexual activity before and during pregnancy and to describe resources used by mother to find information related to sexual activity during pregnancy.Method: A descriptive cross sectional study conducted on pregnant mothers who undergo antenatal care at Tegalrejo public health center, Yogyakarta. Sample was determined using quota sampling which total sample was 78 partisipants (every trimester consist of 26 pregnant mothers) and not have significant health problem related to their pregnancy (e.g. high risk pregnancy condition, vaginal bleeding, etc.). Data was collected using Indonesian version of Pregnancy Sexuality and Respon Inventory (PSRI) questionnaire which reliable to used (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.714). Data were analyzed by paired t test. Significant change of sexual activity among trimesters was analyzed using post hoc.Results: There was significant changes in biological aspect of mothers’ sexual activity before and during pregnancy, especially second (p 0.002) and third trimester (p 0.000) and the changes led to the decline. There was significant decline in emotional aspect of sexual activities of mothers in all trimesters of pregnancy (p<0.05). Meanwhile in physical aspect of sexual activities, there was significant decline in second (p 0.000) and third trimester (p 0.000). Respondents got information on sexual activities during pregnancy from numerous sources, but the most common was from health care provider (35.9%). Conclusion: Providing the right informatian and consultation related this topic will help mother to understand their physiological change related to sexual activity and help mother and spouse to choose the right decision in doing sexual activity during pregnancy.
Prediction of arithmetic competence: role of cognitive abilities, socioeconomic variables and the perception of the teacher in Early Childhood Education

The study investigated, in a longitudinal cohort, predictive models of arithmetic competence (AC) in the 1st year from language and executive functions assessed at preschool age. A total of 71 children were evaluated in oral language skills, preliminary writing abilities and executive functions. In the 1st year, the children were also evaluated in AC. Parents provided information on the socioeconomic level and teachers indicated children with difficulties. Language, oral (phonological awareness and vocabulary) and preliminary writing (knowledge of letters, reading and writing of words) abilities, together with indications of difficulty by the teacher in the ECE, were able to explain a mean of 62% of the variability in AC in the 1st year. The findings reveal predictive variables for the performance in arithmetic in the initial stage of Elementary Education, which can assist in early identification and the design of preventive intervention models.

Effectiveness of Genomic Selection by Response to Selection for Winter Wheat Variety Improvement

The genomic revolution opened up the possibility for predicting un-tested phenotypes in schemes commonly referred as genomic selection (GS). Considering the practicality of applying GS in the line development stage of a hard red winter (HRW) wheat variety development program (VDP), effectiveness of GS was evaluated by prediction accuracy, as well as by the response to selection across field seasons that demonstrated challenges for crop improvement under significant climate variability. Important breeding targets for HRW wheat improvement in the southern Great Plains of USA, including Grain Yield, Kernel Weight, Wheat Protein content, and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) Sedimentation Volume as a rapid test for predicting bread-making quality, were used to estimate GS’s effectiveness across harvest years from 2014 (drought) to 2016 (normal). In general, nonparametric algorithms RKHS and RF produced higher accuracies in both same-year/environment cross validations and cross-year/environment predictions, for the purpose of line selection in this bi-parental doubled haploid (DH) population. Further, the stability of GS performance was greatest for SDS Sedimentation Volume but least for Wheat Protein content. To ensure long-term genetic gain, our study on selection response suggested that across this sample of environmental variability, and though there are cases where phenotypic selection (PS) might be still preferential, training conducted under drought stress or in suboptimal conditions could still provide an encouraging prediction outcome, when selection decisions were made in normal conditions. However, it is not advisable to use training information collected from a normal field season to predict trait performance under drought conditions. Further, the superiority of response to selection was most evident if the training population can be optimized. Core Ideas Prediction performance for winter wheat grain yield and end-use quality traits. Prediction accuracy evaluated by cross validations significantly overestimated. Non-parametric algorithms outperform, when considering cross-year predictions. Strategically designing training population improves response to selection. Response to selection varied across growing seasons/environments.
Genetic variability in wild and hatchery populations of commercially important fish: The common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Ahmadi M, Kashiri H, Shabani A, Moghadam AA. 2018. Genetic variability in wild and hatchery populations of commercially important fish: The common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Biodiversitas 19: 1468-1474. Common carp, Cyprinus carpio, is considered as one of the most important bony fish with high economic value in the Caspian sea. Since the population size of common carp has decreased during recent decades, restocking of the populations is done through releasing the hatchery-produced larvae into the Caspian Sea. In the present study, the genetic diversity of hatchery and wild populations of C. carpio was investigated using eight microsatellite loci (MFW7, MFW9, MFW13, MFW16, MFW17, MFW20, MFW26 and MFW28). A total of 145 different alleles were observed across all loci, with some of them being unique to each population. Although the allelic and gene diversity of hatchery populations tended to be lower compared to the wild populations, no significant differences (P>0.05) in genetic diversity parameters were observed among the wild and hatchery populations. In most cases, significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed, mainly because of the heterozygosity deficiency. Results from FST, RST and UPGMA analysis showed that the hatchery-reared population was the most differentiated and distant group. The results from this study are anticipated to provide important information for setting up more efficient strategies in conservation and restocking of C. carpio.
Evaluation of the Effect of Topping on Cannabidiol (CBD) Content in Two Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Cultivars

In order to define the finest cultivation practices for two of the most commercial hemp cultivars (‘Fedora 23’ and ‘Futura 75’) under the Mediterranean climate, the treatment of topping was applied in hemp crop in Central Greece. The object of the study was to assess if topping can increase the cannabidiol (CBD) production. In addition, the growth of the two cultivars was also investigated. Our results showed that the treatment of topping and cultivar affected the CBD content. The inflorescence compactness index and the number of nodes were affected by cultivar and topping. The number of inflorescences on secondary shoots was affected only by topping. The leaf area was affected by the interaction of cultivar and topping. The maximum height was recorded in un-topped Futura 75 plants, while the highest fresh and dry weight were found in topped Futura 75 plants. The total inflorescence dry matter was higher in topped plants.
Contrasting arsenic cycling in strongly and weakly stratified contaminated lakes: Evidence for temperature control on sediment–water arsenic fluxes

Arsenic contamination of lakebed sediments is widespread due to a range of human activities, including herbicide application, waste disposal, mining, and smelter operations. The threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health is dependent on the degree of mobilization from sediments into overlying water columns and exposure of aquatic organisms. We undertook a mechanistic investigation of arsenic cycling in two impacted lakes within the Puget Sound region, a shallow weakly stratified lake and a deep seasonally stratified lake, with similar levels of lakebed arsenic contamination. We found that the processes that cycle arsenic between sediments and the water column differed greatly in shallow and deep lakes. In the shallow lake, seasonal temperature increases at the lakebed surface resulted in high porewater arsenic concentrations that drove larger diffusive fluxes of arsenic across the sediment–water interface compared to the deep, stratified lake where the lakebed remained ~10°C cooler. Plankton in the shallow lake accumulated up to an order of magnitude more arsenic than plankton in the deep lake due to elevated aqueous arsenic concentrations in oxygenated waters and low phosphate : arsenate ratios in the shallow lake. As a result, strong arsenic mobilization from sediments in the shallow lake was countered by large arsenic sedimentation rates out of the water column driven by plankton settling.
RFCamera: Identifying RFIDs in Pixel Dimensions

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is emerging as a vital technology of the Internet of Things. Billions of RFID tags have been deployed to locate daily objects such as equipment, pharmaceuticals, and vehicles, and so on. Unlike previous solutions that focus on localizing tagged objects in the world coordinate system in reference to reader antennas, this work exploits a system, called RFCamera, that can identify and locate RFID-tagged objects in images with pixel dimensions. Many applications would benefit from RFCamera. For instance, the RF-aware image annotation system is able to generate rich annotations for RFID-tagged entities in images at the pixel level for the deep learning; the RF-aware auto-focus allows surveillance camera to exactly focalize the burglar who carries the stolen tagged-property out of a crowd. Our core insight is that an image is a visual AoA profile in terms of lights, which is resulted from the pinhole camera model. Similarly, we generate an RF image, derived from the AoA profile of a tag using the same pinhole model as the camera. Consequently, the locations of visual entities corresponding to tagged objects are highlighted by comparing two types of images. To this end, we customized a camera system equipped with a pair of rotatable reader antennas. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that RFCamera enables a mean error of 5.7° and 2.9° at azimuth and elevation angle estimation. It can locate a visual entity with a mean error of 51 pixels (i.e., ≈ 1.3 cm at 96 dpi) in a 640 × 480 image.
Effects of free-air CO2 enrichment on flower opening time in rice

ABSTRACT Flower opening time (FOT) is important for reproductive success in higher plants. Rice plants exhibit phenotypic plasticity in FOT in response to environmental factors such as temperature. However, the effect of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 ([CO2]) on FOT has not yet been reported. Elevated [CO2] (E-[CO2]) increases the temperature of panicles, which may in turn advance FOT. We investigated the effect of E-[CO2] on FOT in rice using a free-air CO2 enrichment facility where we increased [CO2] by about 200 μmol mol−1 above the ambient level (A-[CO2]). By photographing panicles at 10-min intervals, we determined 10%FOT and 50%FOT (the time of the day in Japan Standard Time when 10% and 50% of the flowers had opened, respectively). E-[CO2] advanced 10%FOT and 50%FOT by 4 and 5 min at the 10% and 5% levels of significance, respectively. Daily mean air temperature (Ta), solar radiation, and vapor-pressure deficit were negatively correlated with 50%FOT. Regression line slopes for Ta versus 10%FOT and 50%FOT were slightly steeper for A-[CO2] than those for E-[CO2]. Our results suggest that the most probable reason why E-[CO2] advanced FOT is an increase in panicle temperature arising from a reduction in leaf stomatal conductance. Abbreviations: 10%FOT: the time of the day in Japan Standard Time when 10% of the flowers had opened; 50%FOT: the time of the day in Japan Standard Time when 50% of the flowers had opened; A-[CO2]: ambient CO2; [CO2]: the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide; E-[CO2]: elevated [CO2]; FACE: free-air CO2 enrichment; FOT: flower opening time; JST: Japan Standard Time; RH: relative humidity; Rs: solar radiation; Ta: air temperature; Tp: panicle temperature; VPD: vapor-pressure deficit
Effect of increase in temperature on the survival and growth of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Palaemonidae) in the Amazon

Macrobrachium amazonicum is a shrimp species distributed in freshwater habitats of Neotropical regions and is of great importance for the Amazonian economy. This study evaluated the effects of temperature increase on the survival and growth of M. amazonicum . For this, we distributed 360 M. amazonicum juveniles in 70 L tanks, and carried out a 90-day experiment with three treatments (T0: 28 ± 0.5 °C, or room temperature; T1: 30 ± 0.2 °C; T2: 32 ± 0.2 °C), using 4 replicate tanks each with 30 individual shrimp. Culture-tanks were connected to a recirculation system with biofiltration and constant aeration. Animals were fed twice a day using shrimp pelleted commercial food. After 90 days of trial, the total length and body mass gain of the animals cultured at room temperature was 78% and 433%, respectively. The specific growth rate, condition factor, weight gain, and length and survival of animals cultured at 30 and 32 °C were lower than those cultivated at 28 °C, and feed conversion was higher. Therefore, water temperature of 30 and 32 °C may compromise growth and survival of M. amazonicum during cultivation, none of the extreme temperatures may be recommended in practice.
ROADKILLS OF MEDIUM AND LARGE-SIZED MAMMALS ON HIGHWAY BR-242, MIDWEST BRAZIL: A PROPOSAL OF NEW INDEXES FOR EVALUATING ANIMAL ROADKILL RATES

Habitat fragmentation due to transport infrastructure, such as highways, is receiving growing concern due to deleterious consequences of roadkill, a consequence of animal--vehicle collisions. This study was conducted on a 115 km section of the highway BR-242 between the Peixe Angical Hydroelectric Power Plant and Gurupi town, Tocantins state, Brazil. During twelve months, records of medium and large-sized mammals' roadkilled by vehicle collisions were weekly acquired. Photographic records, date and place of occurrence were obtained for each roadkilled animal. We also propose new indexes to evaluate roadkill rates. In total, 18 species, 17 genera, 10 families, and six orders were recorded. The species with the highest number of registers were: Cerdocyon thous , Myrmecophaga tridactyla , Tamandua tetradactyla , Procyon cancrivorus , Nasua nasua and Dasyprocta leporina , corresponding to 73.5% of roadkills. The curve of species accumulation showed no tendency for stabilization. The results showed that the roadkill indices were 0.003 species/km; 0.009 individuals/km; 0.375 species/sampling; 1,021 individuals/sampling; 306,667 kilometers traveled/hit species, and 115,00 kilometers traveled/animal. Seven species recorded are considered threatened: Chrysocyon brachyurus , Leopardus pardalis , Leopardus wiedii , Lycalopex vetulus , Myrmecophaga tridactyla , Puma concolor , and Puma yagouaroundi .
