PERFORMANCE OF BROILER CHICKENS FED RAW AND TOASTED SESAME SEED AS A SOURCE OF METHIONINE

A trial was conducted to determine the performance and economics of production of broiler chickens fed raw and toasted sesame seed meal as a dietary source of methionine. A total of two hundred (200) day old Anak 2000 broiler chicks were allocated to five dietary treatments with forty (40) birds per treatment in a completely randomized design. Average daily feed intake (ADFI) at both starter (1-4 weeks) and finisher (5-8 weeks) phases were not significant. The values ranged from 50.29 to 57.86g and 102.48 to 122.15g for the starter and finisher phases respectively. The average daily weight gain (ADWG) which was between 20.61 and 23.21g for the starter and between 40.27 and 49.72g for the finisher followed similar trends. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was also not significant for both starter and finisher phases. Mortality was high for the raw (5 and 10%) and 10% toasted sesame seed meal; four (4) birds in each case across the phases. Total feed intake (kg/bird) was high for the control birds (4.91kg/bird) compared to the other treatments. Feed coat (N/kg feed) and total feed cost (N/bird) were between N52.64-54.71/kg feed and N234.16-258.51/bird respectively. Total weight gain (kg/bird) was similar for both raw and toasted sesame seed meal irrespective of inclusion level. Feed cost (N/kg gain) was lowest for the control diet (N129.23) and highest for birds on 10% raw sesame seed meal (N149.54). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that raw or toasted sesame seed meal can be included in broiler diets up to 10% level to substitute for synthetic methionine without adverse effects on growth performance. (TWG) (kg/bird) for on the (2.00kg/bird) but, the 10% RaSSM (1.65kg/bird). The feed cost was lowest for the control diet ( ₦ 129.23/kg gain), while 5% ToSSM and 10% RaSSM recorded similar values; ₦ 144.42 and ₦ 149.50/kg gain respectively.
Vascular Biology and Microcirculation Investigating the extremes of the continuum of paracrine functions in CD34 (cid:2) /CD31 (cid:3) CACs across diverse populations

Investigating the extremes of the continuum of paracrine functions in CD34 – /CD31 (cid:3) CACs across diverse populations. Paracrine function of circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) is thought to contribute to vascular maintenance. We previously identiﬁed S100A8 and S100A9 secreted from physically inactive individuals’ CD34 – /CD31 (cid:3) CACs as negative regulators of capillary-like network formation. The purpose of this study was to investigate further the extremes of the continuum of CAC paracrine actions using two distinctly different groups representing “healthy” and “impaired” CAC function. We aimed to determine how capillary-like network formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is affected by S100A8 and S100A9 in concentrations secreted by CACs from different ends
T HE D IFFERENTIAL E FFECTS OF O RGANIZATIONAL A NTECEDENTS ON D IMENSIONS OF C ORPORATE E NTREPRENEURSHIP

This study seeks to further delineate how organizational antecedents differentially influence the three components of corporate entrepreneurship: innovation, venturing or strategic renewal. We argue that structural differentiation may help organizations to maintain multiple and often conflicting demands of entrepreneurial and mainstream activities. Taking a social capital perspective, our study further examines two contingencies in the form of informal integration mechanisms (i.e. connectedness and TMT social integration). Our findings show structural differentiation has a positive effect on all three components of corporate entrepreneurship, yet the effect is moderated by integration mechanisms. Interunit connectedness has a positive moderation effect regarding innovation and venturing, and TMT social integration has a negative moderation effect regarding strategic renewal. This reveals that innovation is influenced by informal integration mechanisms on the organizational level, strategic renewal on top management team level, while venturing is influenced by integration mechanisms on both levels.
XIII. On the precession of a viscous spheroid, and on the remote history of the Earth

The following paper contains the investigation of the mass-motion of viscous and imperfectly elastic spheroids, as modified by a relative motion of their parts, produced in them by the attraction of external disturbing bodies; it must be regarded as the continuation of my previous paper, where the theory of the bodily tides of such spheroids was given. The problem is one of theoretical dynamics, but the subject is so large and complex, th at I thought it best, in the first instance, to guide the direction of the speculation by considerations of applicability to the case of the earth, as disturbed by the sun and moon.
Driving Factors behind Foreign Fighters in Syria and Iraq

ABSTRACT With the rise of the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the phenomenon of foreign fighters became a significant security concern. Governments around the world have become preoccupied with the possibility of their citizens leaving for combat zones and then coming back with training and experience. While previously foreign fighters participated in such conflicts as Afghanistan, Bosnia, or Chechnya, today ISIS has attracted record numbers of individuals from various backgrounds. This article examines factors that might be connected with the outflow of foreign fighters to Syria and Iraq. The analysis is based on 190 countries with 103 of them serving as countries of origin for 33,815 foreign fighters. Negative binomial regression is used to evaluate the connection of political, economic, demographic, and social factors to numbers of foreign fighters. The findings indicate that more foreign fighters come from countries with higher Human Development Index levels, unemployment rates, percentages of youth, population size, percentages of Muslim population, emigration levels, Internet penetration, and the presence of Al Qaeda cells. However, the findings further indicate that the effect of these variables is not uniform across majority Muslim and majority non-Muslim countries.
Steam Gasification of Sawdust Biochar Influenced by Chemical Speciation of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metallic Species

The effect of chemical speciation (H 2 O/NH 4 Ac/HCl-soluble and insoluble) of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species on the steam gasification of sawdust biochar was investigated in a lab-scale, fixed-bed reactor, with the method of chemical fractionation analysis. The changes in biochar structures and the evolution of biochar reactivity are discussed, with a focus on the contributions of the chemical speciation of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species (AAEMs) on the steam gasification of biochar. The results indicate that H 2 O/NH 4 Ac/HCl-soluble AAEMs have a significant effect on biochar gasification rates. The release of K occurs mainly in the form of inorganic salts and hydrated ions, while that of Ca occurs mainly as organic ones. The sp 3 -rich or sp 2 -sp 3 structures and different chemical-speciation AAEMs function together as the preferred active sites during steam gasification. H 2 O/HCl-soluble AAEMs could promote the transformation of biochar surface functional groups, from ether/alkene C-O-C to carboxylate COO − in biochar, while they may both be improved by NH 4 Ac-soluble AAEMs. H 2 O-soluble AAEMs play a crucial catalytic role in biochar reactivity. The effect of NH 4 Ac-soluble AAEMs is mainly concentrated in the high-conversion stage (biochar conversion >30%), while that of HCl-soluble AAEMs is reflected in the whole activity-testing stage.
INTEGRAL COHOMOLOGY OF RATIONAL PROJECTION

We study the cohomology and hence K -theory of the aperiodic tilings formed by the so called ‘cut and project’ method, i.e., patterns in d dimensional Euclidean space which arise as sections of higher dimensional, periodic structures. They form one of the key families of patterns used in quasicrystal physics, where their topological invariants carry quantum mechanical information. Our work develops both a theoretical framework and a practical toolkit for the discussion and calculation of their integral cohomology, and extends previous work that only successfully addressed rational cohomological invariants. Our framework uniﬁes the several previous methods used to study the cohomology of these patterns. We discuss explicit calculations for the main examples of icosahedral patterns in R 3 – the Danzer tiling, the Ammann-Kramer tiling and the Canonical and Dual Canonical D 6 tilings, including complete computations for the ﬁrst of these, as well as results for many of the better known 2 dimensional examples.
Rotor Shape Multi-Level Design Optimization for Double-Stator Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

This paper presents a rotor shape multi-level-objective optimization designed to reduce the mechanical stress distribution in the rotor core of a double-stator permanent magnet synchronous motor. The second objective is weight minimization performed via a response surface methodology with a uniform precision central composite design function. The optimal operation point, with a substantial population size, is reached using a Monte Carlo algorithm on the fitted model. The goodness-of-fit for the model is evaluated based on the modified Akaike information criterion and the Bayesian information criterion with a linear regression approach. To achieve these goals, a multi-level design procedure is proposed for the first time in machine design engineering. All the electromagnetic forces of the machine, such as normal, tangential, and centrifugal forces, are calculated using three-dimensional transient finite element analysis. The outcome of the proposed rotor core optimization shows that the finalized shape of the studied core has significantly smaller weight and mechanical stress, while the electromagnetic performance of the machine has remained consistent with a pre-optimized machine.
A generalizable connectome-based marker of in-scan sustained attention in neurodiverse youth

Difficulty with attention is an important symptom in many conditions in psychiatry, including neurodiverse conditions such as autism. There is a need to better understand the neurobiological correlates of attention and leverage these findings for individuals in healthcare settings. Nevertheless, it remains unclear if it is possible to build robust dimensional predictive models of attention in neurodiverse populations. Here, we use five datasets to identify and validate functional connectome-based markers of attention. In dataset one, we use connectome-based predictive modelling and observe successful prediction of performance on an in-scan sustained attention task in a neurodiverse sample of youth. The predictions are not driven by confounds, such as head motion. In dataset two, we find the attention network model defined in dataset one generalizes to predict in-scan attention in a separate sample of neurotypical participants performing the same attention task. In datasets three to five, we use connectome-based identification and longitudinal scans to probe the stability of the attention network across months to years in individual participants. Our results help elucidate the brain correlates of attention in neurodiverse youth and support the further development of predictive dimensional models of other clinically-relevant phenotypes.
Adherence to a traditional Mexican diet and non-communicable disease-related outcomes: secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey

Abstract This study evaluated the association between adherence to a traditional Mexican diet (TMexD) and obesity, diabetes and CVD-related outcomes in secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018–2019. Data from 10 180 Mexican adults were included, collected via visits to randomly selected households by trained personnel. Adherence to the TMexD (characterised by mostly plant-based foods like maize, legumes and vegetables) was measured through an adapted version of a recently developed TMexD index, using FFQ data. Outcomes included obesity (anthropometric measurements), diabetes (biomarkers and diagnosis) and CVD (lipid biomarkers, blood pressure, hypertension diagnosis and CVD event diagnosis) variables. Percentage differences and OR for presenting non-communicable disease (NCD)-related outcomes (with 95 % CI) were measured using multiple linear and logistic regression, respectively, adjusted for relevant covariates. Sensitivity analyses were conducted according to sex, excluding people with an NCD diagnosis and using multiple imputation. In fully adjusted models, high, compared with low, TMexD adherence was associated with lower insulin (−9·8 %; 95 % CI (−16·0, −3·3)), LDL-cholesterol (−4·3 %; 95 % CI (−6·9, −1·5)), non-HDL-cholesterol (−3·9 %; 95 % CI (−6·1, −1·7)) and total cholesterol (−3·5 %; 95 % CI (−5·2, −1·8)) concentrations. Men and those with no NCD diagnosis had overall stronger associations. Effect sizes were smaller, and associations weakened in multiple imputation models. No other associations were observed. While results may have been limited due to the adaptation of a previously developed index, the results highlight the potential association between the TMexD and lower insulin and cholesterol concentrations in Mexican adults.
Providing Brief Personalized Therapies for Insomnia Among Workers Using a Sleep Prompt App: Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder and the foremost health concern among workers. We developed a new sleep prompt app (SPA) for smartphones to positively alter the users' consciousness and behavior by sending timely short messages for mild sleep problems at an early stage. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the SPA in providing brief personalized therapy for insomnia among workers. Methods We conducted a 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial. The intervention group used the SPA, and the control group received no intervention. Participants were recruited between November 2020 and January 2021. The researcher sent emails for recruitment to more than 3000 workers of 2 companies and 1 university in Japan. The SPA provided personalized prompt messages, sleep diaries, sleep hygiene education, stimulus control therapy, and sleep restriction therapy. The prompt messages were sent automatically to the participants to encourage them to improve their sleep habits and sleep status and were optimized to the individual's daily rhythm. The intervention program duration was 4 weeks. The primary outcome was a change in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) for the study period. The ISI was obtained weekly using a web questionnaire. Results A total of 116 Japanese workers (intervention group n=60, control group n=56) with sleep disorders were recruited. Two participants in the intervention group were excluded from the analyses because of challenges in installing the SPA. The mean ISI scores at baseline were 9.2 for both groups; however, after 4 weeks, the mean ISI scores declined to 6.8 and 8.0 for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Primary analysis using a linear mixed model showed a significant improvement in the temporal trends of the ISI in the SPA group and in the total population (P=.03). Subgroup analyses of ISI-8-insomniacs revealed a significant improvement in the temporal trends of ISI in the SPA group (P=.01), and the CFS score for physical condition significantly improved following the intervention (P=.02). Conclusions This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the SPA in providing brief personalized therapy for insomnia among Japanese workers with mild insomnia. The physical fatigue score significantly improved in ISI-8-insomniacs. Thus, SPA could play an important role in reducing the adverse effects of sleep disorders in workers. To promote the wide use of the SPA in the future, further studies are required to examine its effectiveness in other age groups and individuals with health problems.

Inflammatory gene expression during acute high‐altitude exposure

The molecular signalling pathways that regulate inflammation and the response to hypoxia share significant crosstalk and appear to play major roles in high‐altitude acclimatization and adaptation. Several studies demonstrate increases in circulating candidate inflammatory markers during acute high‐altitude exposure, but significant gaps remain in our understanding of how inflammation and immune function change at high altitude and whether these responses contribute to high‐altitude pathologies, such as acute mountain sickness. To address this, we took an unbiased transcriptomic approach, including RNA sequencing and direct digital mRNA detection with NanoString, to identify changes in the inflammatory profile of peripheral blood throughout 3 days of high‐altitude acclimatization in healthy sea‐level residents (n = 15; five women). Several inflammation‐related genes were upregulated on the first day of high‐altitude exposure, including a large increase in HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1), a damage‐associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury. Differentially expressed genes on the first and third days of acclimatization were enriched for several inflammatory pathways, including nuclear factor‐κB and Toll‐like receptor (TLR) signalling. Indeed, both TLR4 and LY96, which encodes the lipopolysaccharide binding protein (MD‐2), were upregulated at high altitude. Finally, FASLG and SMAD7 were associated with acute mountain sickness scores and peripheral oxygen saturation levels on the first day at high altitude, suggesting a potential role of immune regulation in response to high‐altitude hypoxia. These results indicate that acute high‐altitude exposure upregulates inflammatory signalling pathways and might sensitize the TLR4 signalling pathway to subsequent inflammatory stimuli.
Integration of the Fuzzy Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (Fuzzy FMEA) and the Analytical Network Process (ANP) in Marketing Risk Analysis and Mitigation

Marketing plays an important role in determining an enterprise’s success. Inappropriate marketing strategy can lead to various risks, especially for SMEs that have not prepared their risk management. This research aims to identify and specify marketing strategy priorities in the production of potato chips, and to decide anticipationary action in determining risk mitigation. The research is a case study of XYZ company. The method used for risk analysis was Fuzzy FMEA, and that used to specify the strategic priorities was ANP. The results indicate that the most potential risks in potato chip marketing are promotion risk, which is caused by inappropriate steps with regard to promotion targets, and the absence of a brand image. The primary strategy in market risk mitigation is to improve sub-strategy promotion, which increases the effectiveness of promotion facilities and infrastructure, complies with the development of information and communication media, and maintains service quality in the sub-criteria of building and maintaining good relations with customers.
Cable Aging Monitoring with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in Nuclear Power Plants

As a requirement for plant life extension for more than 40 years, additional Cable Aging Management Program (CAMP) has to be implemented in Nuclear Power Plant Krško. Samples of cables are selected based on nuclear safety and electrical equipment criticality for inspection and testing, to check functionality and prevent unexpected failure during normal operation. Different onsite testing equipment and methods are implemented to find harsh environment due to temperature, radiation, humidity and chemical effects that could affect insulation lifetime. Infrared thermography is used for determining and evaluating temperature hot spots. The article presents a development of laboratory testing of cable insulation using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Thirty-six samples of different nuclear qualified cables made of most frequently used materials, ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) – all with chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) jacket, were tested. Samples were 35 years old and additionally temperature aged in several steps with an intention to get acceptance criteria. Similar tests were conducted in two testing laboratories. The results showed an evident decrease in oxidation stability of the inner EPR insulation; the onset temperature of oxidation processes has been shifted from 238 C (unaged samples) to 175 C (most aged samples). A decrease in oxidation stability was also observed for XPLE insulation; the onset oxidation temperature decreased from 266 C for unaged samples to 213 C (most aged samples). For the jacket material CSPE used as the insulation protection nearly no changes were observed.
Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Hospitalized with COVID‐19 and Diabetes in Summer 2021

More information is needed to understand the clinical epidemiology of children and young adults hospitalized with diabetes and COVID‐19. We describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients <21 years old hospitalized with COVID‐19 and either Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM or T2DM) during peak incidence of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection with the B.1. 617.2 (Delta) variant.
Decoupled evolution of the cranium and mandible in carnivoran mammals

The relationship between skull morphology and diet is a prime example of adaptive evolution. In mammals, the skull consists of the cranium and the mandible. Although the mandible is expected to evolve more directly in response to dietary changes, dietary regimes may have less influence on the cranium because additional sensory and brain‐protection functions may impose constraints on its morphological evolution. Here, we tested this hypothesis by comparing the evolutionary patterns of cranium and mandible shape and size across 100+ species of carnivoran mammals with distinct feeding ecologies. Our results show decoupled modes of evolution in cranial and mandibular shape; cranial shape follows clade‐based evolutionary shifts, whereas mandibular shape evolution is linked to broad dietary regimes. These results are consistent with previous hypotheses regarding hierarchical morphological evolution in carnivorans and greater evolutionary lability of the mandible with respect to diet. Furthermore, in hypercarnivores, the evolution of both cranial and mandibular size is associated with relative prey size. This demonstrates that dietary diversity can be loosely structured by craniomandibular size within some guilds. Our results suggest that mammal skull morphological evolution is shaped by mechanisms beyond dietary adaptation alone.
