A study on the range of movements of knee joint in South Indian Females

Introduction: The assessment of joint flexibility is clinically carried out by measurement of highest ROM presented at the joint. Researchers and clinicians are normally measuring of ROM of knee joint to evaluate diseases and injuries of the knee joint. There are only few studies reported in female population by assessing ROM of the knee joint. Materials and Method: The current research was carried out in female population. A total of 480 female subjects were included in present study. American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) is recommending the techniques of measurements in their handbook. Universal Goniometer was used to measure the ROM. Result and Discussion: The current study reports on ROM of knee joint analyzed using Universal Goniometer. The maximum mean AROM (150 degrees) was noted in 6-10 years age group and the minimum mean AROM (123.6 degrees) in 71-80 years age group. The maximum mean PROM (157.5 degrees) was noted in 6-10 years age group and the minimum mean PROM (133.9 degrees) in 71-80 years age group. The ROM was more in younger subjects and decreased gradually with advancing age. In the prone position, the average AROM is 122.9 degrees, and PROM is 133 degrees. Conclusion: The study concludes that the patient's healthy limb can be used for contrast with the affected side in the presence of unilateral limb lesion. These data can provide a more understanding of the ageing process. The results of the present study would be to the practitioners, physiatrist and researchers as quick references to measure the ROM of the knee joint.

Patient Interaction Phenotypes With an Automated Remote Hypertension Monitoring Program and Their Association With Blood Pressure Control: Observational Study

Background Automated texting platforms have emerged as a tool to facilitate communication between patients and health care providers with variable effects on achieving target blood pressure (BP). Understanding differences in the way patients interact with these communication platforms can inform their use and design for hypertension management. Objective Our primary aim was to explore the unique phenotypes of patient interactions with an automated text messaging platform for BP monitoring. Our secondary aim was to estimate associations between interaction phenotypes and BP control. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial for adults with poorly controlled hypertension. A total of 201 patients with established primary care were assigned to the automated texting platform; messages exchanged throughout the 4-month program were analyzed. We used the k-means clustering algorithm to characterize two different interaction phenotypes: program conformity and engagement style. First, we identified unique clusters signifying differences in program conformity based on the frequency over time of error alerts, which were generated to patients when they deviated from the requested text message format (eg, ###/## for BP). Second, we explored overall engagement styles, defined by error alerts and responsiveness to text prompts, unprompted messages, and word count averages. Finally, we applied the chi-square test to identify associations between each interaction phenotype and achieving the target BP. Results We observed 3 categories of program conformity based on their frequency of error alerts: those who immediately and consistently submitted texts without system errors (perfect users, 51/201), those who did so after an initial learning period (adaptive users, 66/201), and those who consistently submitted messages generating errors to the platform (nonadaptive users, 38/201). Next, we observed 3 categories of engagement style: the enthusiast, who tended to submit unprompted messages with high word counts (17/155); the student, who inconsistently engaged (35/155); and the minimalist, who engaged only when prompted (103/155). Of all 6 phenotypes, we observed a statistically significant association between patients demonstrating the minimalist communication style (high adherence, few unprompted messages, limited information sharing) and achieving target BP (P<.001). Conclusions We identified unique interaction phenotypes among patients engaging with an automated text message platform for remote BP monitoring. Only the minimalist communication style was associated with achieving target BP. Identifying and understanding interaction phenotypes may be useful for tailoring future automated texting interactions and designing future interventions to achieve better BP control.
Lessons Learned from Arson Wildfire Incidence in Reforestations and Natural Stands in Spain

Wildfires are currently considered the major threat to forests in Mediterranean countries. It has been implied that a large percentage of arson-caused fires in Spain are connected with the extensive reforestation programs implemented between 1940 and 1970. However, no consistent studies have been conducted to study the relationships between arson-caused fires and stand origin. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze occurrences and model the influence of forest stand origin (artificial or not) on the development of wildfires in peninsular Spain. Twenty-one neural network models were trained to estimate fire incidence through fire type (surface or crown fire), burned area and total treed burned area, based on stand age (years), canopy cover (%), natural age class (from seedling to mature stages) and fuel type classification. Models were built for reforested stands and natural stands of Pinus pinaster Ait. , the Mediterranean pines Pinus sylvestris L. , Pinus nigra Arn. , Pinus halepensis Mill. and Eucalyptus sp. L’Hér. , or groups of these species, and the resulting models were compared. Reforested stands presented higher fire incidence than natural stands mainly for productive species like Pinus pinaster Ait. According to the fire type models, thickets had a large influence in the development of crown fires in reforested stands in a general model for all species, the model with the Mediterranean group of pines, and the Pinus pinaster Ait. model. Vertical continuity influenced crown fire propagation in natural Mediterranean pines and in Eucalyptus stands. Presence of shrubs, grasslands and wood slash was related to surface fires in models for both reforested and natural stands. The results suggested that stand origin was influential on fire incidence, at least with regard to fire type and commercial species in the northwestern region of Spain.
Primary skin diseases and cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases in swine

ABSTRACT: Skin diseases in pigs can negatively impact the production. They cause losses related to the death of the affected pigs, to the cost with the treatment, growth retardation and condemnations in the slaughterhouses. This study was developed to determine the frequency and describe the histopathological findings of skin diseases in pigs in different age groups through a retrospective study from 2006 to 2018. A total of 154 conclusive cases were analyzed, including skin restricted diseases (allergic dermatitis, exudative epidermitis, vesicular dermatitis, pityriasis rosea, swinepox, follicular cyst, papilloma and scrotal hemangioma) or skin lesions secondary to systemic diseases (erysipelas, porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), bacterial septicemia and multiple hemorrhages without definite cause). The skin lesions were classified as bacterial (46.1%), viral (26.6%), allergic (12.3%), neoplastic (1.3%) and others (13.6%). Swine erysipelas was the most frequent diagnosis (47/154), followed by PDNS (23/154), allergic dermatitis (19/154) and exudative epidermitis (15/154). Vesicular dermatitis (9/154), pityriasis rosea (9/154), septicemia with cutaneous manifestations (9/154), swinepox (9/154) and multiple hemorrhages without definite cause (7/154) were also observed. Follicular cyst (3/154), hyperkeratosis without definite cause (2/154), papilloma (1/154), and scrotal hemangioma (1/154) were less frequently described. Of the conclusive diagnosis, age was reported in 138 cases, with the highest frequency of skin lesions observed at the inspection process during slaughter (56/138).
Stokes Polarimetry Method for Measuring In-Plane Retardation and Out-of-Plane Retardation of Optical Wave

In-plane retardation and out-of-plane retardation by optically anisotropic medium are generally measured with the Mueller polarimeter. We proposed a method for measuring the in-plane retardation and out-of-plane retardation using the Stokes polarimeter. The suggested method requires no polarization state generator, simplifying the measurement system. The retardation measured with the Stokes polarimeter was compared with the data measured with the Mueller polarimeter, and their difference was less than 2.5 nm ( $0.005\lambda$ ). In addition, the suggested method can find the orientation of the slow axis of the retarder and the order of retardation. Although the conventional methods require measurements at multiple wavelengths to distinguish the order of the retardation, the suggested method can find the exact retardation using data at a single wavelength of light.
Quality characteristics and flavor compounds of pork meat as a function of carcass quality grade

Objective The present work aimed at evaluating the effects of carcass quality grade (QG) on the quality characteristics of pork meat according to Korean carcass QG system. Methods Pork carcasses with varying in QG: 1+ (QG1+, n = 10), 1 (QG1, n = 10) and 2 (QG2, n = 10), were used to evaluate the relationship between carcass QG and meat quality. The meat quality traits, fatty acid profiles, flavor compounds and sensory qualities were measured on the longissimus dorsi muscle samples of these carcasses. Results Pork meat of higher QG (QG1+) presented significantly higher fat content (5.43%), C18:2n-6 level (19.03%) and total unsaturated fatty acids content (62.72%). Also, the QG1+ meat was significantly higher in levels of classes of flavor compounds such as aldehydes, alcohols and hydrocarbons in comparison to those of the meat samples from the lower QG groups. The sensory evaluation results (flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and acceptability scores) of QG1+ meat was significantly higher than the QG1 and QG2 meats. The pork with lower QG (i.e., QG2) was found positively correlated to redness (r = 0.987), C18:1n-9 level (r = 1.000) but negatively correlated to the fat content (r = −0.949), and flavor (r = −0.870), juiciness (r = −0.861), tenderness (r = −0.862) and acceptability (r = −0.815) scores. Conclusion The pork with higher QG had higher fat content, total unsaturated fatty acids and better eating quality, thus producing pork with higher QGs should be considered in order to satisfy the consumer’s expectation.
Effects of dairy shed effluent dry matter content on ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from a pasture soil

Abstract Atmospheric emissions of nitrogen (N) from New Zealand dairy farms are significant but have the potential to be affected by manure management prior to land application. The current work examined whether reducing cattle manure dry matter (DM) from 0.16 high DM (HDM) to 0.06 low DM (LDM), to enhance infiltration and reduce ammonia (NH3) emissions when applied to grassland, would affect nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Pasture was cut, simulating grazing, and either amended with HDM (173 kg N/ha) or LDM manure (48 kg N/ha) or left unamended. Ammonia emissions from HDM manure were higher than from LDM manure, as a flux or as a percentage of total ammoniacal nitrogen (TAN, i.e. NH3 + NH4+) applied, due to more TAN being retained near the soil surface and the higher soil surface pH under HDM manure treatment. Cumulative N2O emissions over 37 days from HDM plots were higher than from the control but not from the LDM plots. After 5 days, the daily N2O emission rate was larger from HDM plots than from LDM and control plots. The N2O fluxes from LDM and HDM treatments did not differ, either as a proportion of TAN applied or as a proportion of total-N applied. Increasing DM contributed to reductions in both oxygen (O2) availability and relative gas diffusivity, and thus potentially N2O production. Under the conditions of the current study, lower manure DM content reduced NH3 emissions but did not increase cumulative losses of N2O.
Revised subunit order of mammalian septin complexes explains their in vitro polymerization properties

Septins are conserved GTP-binding cytoskeletal proteins that polymerize into filaments by end-to-end joining of heterooligomeric complexes. In human cells, both hexamers and octamers exist, and crystallography studies predicted the order of the hexamers to be SEPT7-SEPT6-SEPT2-SEPT2-SEPT6-SEPT7, while octamers are thought to have the same core, but with SEPT9 at the ends. However, based on this septin organization, octamers and hexamers would not be expected to co-polymerize due to incompatible ends. Here we isolated hexamers and octamers of specific composition from human cells and show that hexamers and octamers polymerize individually and, surprisingly, with each other. Binding of Borg3 results in distinctive clustering of each filament type. Moreover, we show that the organization of hexameric and octameric complexes is inverted compared to its original prediction. This revised septin organization is congruent with the organization and behavior of yeast septins suggesting that their properties are more conserved than was previously thought.
Framing the Study of Transnational Families in Lithuania

This chapter aims to place the study of Lithuanian transnational families1 within a broader body of the most recent theoretical frames through which to understand personal lives (Smart, 2007), family practices (Morgan, 2011; Finch, 2007) and the ways family relationships could be perceived as ‘troubled’ (Ribbens McCarthy et al., 2013). To date, the Lithuanian academic community does not theorize migrant families, particularly transnational families, as contemporary family forms in their own right. Normative ideals of physical proximity, gender roles and moral imperatives to put children’s needs first obscure the literature on families and migration and lead to the consequent assumption that ‘distance’ and ‘absence’ (Baldassar and Merla, 2014) prohibit the ‘normal’ practices and processes in ‘good’ family life. Against this background, building on transnational family perspective (Bryceson and Vuorela, 2002, amongst others), as well as on my fieldwork (carried out with my students and colleagues) this chapter addresses the transnational families’ research frames worked out at Vilnius University since 2004. In analyzing transnational family life, I chose to go beyond the ‘family-migration nexus’ (Boccagni, 2010) and to engage in the transnational family debate. In my pursuit, I looked at multidimensional and diverse nature of cross-border relations making it clear that these relationships cannot simply be equated with the separation or reunification. The overview of the research frames presented below consists of three parts: firstly, I present how I constructed theoretical and methodological basis for studying Lithuanian migrant families; secondly, I explain how I defined the
Unfinished song in teacher education: The Village Institutes experience in Turkey

There was a successful and valuable experience that was implemented in Turkey between 1940 and 1954. It was called the Village Institutes which were established in different parts of the country that greatly enlightened their environments. Unfortunately, because of a clash of political interests, the institutes were closed in 1954. The Village Institutes have been under scrutiny in terms of different courses and activities. However, there still seems to be a gap in the reviewed literature in terms of foreign language teaching in the Village Institutes and its reflections to today’s English language teacher training programmes. Although Turkey is not the same as the 1940s Turkey, this paper is an attempt to show that with their certain features, they still stand as a model to look up to and we should benefit from their outputs in teacher education practices in Turkey. They raised teachers who were aware of themselves, the surrounding environment and their own transformative power and were able to think critically. When we consider the limited practicum hours for pre-service teachers and high ratio of theoretical lessons in the curriculum at the faculties of education, it seems that we have a lot to learn from the Village Institutes experience.
Determination of phytoplankton composition by microscopy and HPLC-derived pigment analysis in the Sea of Marmara

This study is an integrated overview of pigment and microscopic analysis of phytoplankton composition in the Sea of Marmara. The study was conducted from 27 sampling stations during spring (May 2017 and 2018) and summer (August 2016 and 2018). The phytoplankton community was represented mostly by diatoms and dinoflagellates, as the major groups, and also other phytoflagellate groups as shown by both techniques. Chlorophyll- a , chlorophyll- c 1 + c 2 , peridinin, 19’-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin, fucoxanthin, zeaxanthin, alloxanthin, 19’-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, diadinoxanthin, chlorophyll- b and s-carotene concentratios were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). A total of 124 eukaryotic taxa belonging to eight algal classes were found through microscopic analysis. 60 taxa of them were dinoflagellates, 52 taxa were diatoms and 12 taxa were other phytoflagellates. The number of diatoms and dinoflagellates, as the major groups, accounted for 90.4% of the total phytoplankton species. Chlorophyll- a , fucoxanthin and peridinin concentrations varied between 0.03-7.20, 0.01-5.23 and 0.01-2.14 μg L -1 , throughout the research period, respectively. The highest chlorophyll- a values were measured at stations MD26 (7.20 µg L -1 ) and MD22 (6.61 µg L -1 ) in May 2018, which were located at Gemlik and Bandirma bays. There was a significant correlation (r:0.87, p<0.001 n:54) between HPLC determined fucoxanthin concentrations and diatom abundances in August 2016 and 2018. Also, higher chlorophyll- c 1 + c 2 concentrations revealed consistency with high diatom abundances and fucoxanthin concentrations in August 2016 and 2018. This result confirmed that diatoms are the most important carrier of fucoxanthin and it can be used for taxonomic evaluation of diatom community of the Sea of Marmara.
Evolution of Geosiris (Iridaceae): historical biogeography and plastid-genome evolution in a genus of non-photosynthetic tropical rainforest herbs disjunct across the Indian Ocean

Mycoheterotrophs, i.e. plants that acquire carbon from root-associated soil fungi, often have highly degraded plastomes, reflecting relaxed selective constraints on plastid genes following the loss of photosynthesis. Geosiris Baill. is the only mycoheterotrophic genus in Iridaceae and comprises two species in Madagascar and nearby islands, and a third recently discovered species in north-eastern Australia. Here, we characterise the plastomes of the Australian and one Madagascan species to compare patterns of plastome degradation in relation to autotrophic and other mycoheterotrophic taxa and investigate the evolutionary and biogeographical history of the genus in Iridaceae. Both examined species have lost approximately half their plastid-encoded genes and a small but significant reduction in purifying selection in retained non-photosynthetic genes was observed. Geosiris is confirmed as monophyletic, with initial divergence of the genus occurring c. 53 million years ago, and subsequent diversification occurring c. 30 million years ago. Africa (including Madagascar) is reconstructed as the most likely ancestral area of the genus, implying a major range-expansion event of one lineage to Australia after its divergence in the Oligocene. Our study has highlighted the dynamic evolutionary history of Geosiris, contributed to the characterisation of mycoheterotrophic plastomes, and furthered our understanding of plastome structure and function.

Two complete chloroplast genome sequences and intra-species diversity for Rehmannia glutinosa (Orobanchaceae)

Abstract Rehmannia glutinosa is a plant used as traditional medicine for its various tonic effects in Korea and China. In this study, chloroplast genomes of two R. glutinosa were completed by de novo assembly using whole-genome Illumina sequence data. The length of chloroplast genomes of R. glutinosa collected from China and Korea was 153,680 bp and 153,499 bp, respectively. A total of 114 coding regions were predicted in both R. glutinosa including 80 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. We identified abundant intra-species diversity of 87 InDels and 147 SNPs, among three R. glutinosa chloroplast genome sequences including one from GenBank. The phylogenetic analysis showed that these R. glutinosa were closely clustered with related Rehmannia species, separated from other Orobanchaceae and Scrophulariaceae species.
