EFFECT OF USING CORN DISTILLER'S DRIED GRAINS WITH SOLUBLES IN BROILER DIETS WITHOUT OR WITH ADDING GALZYM ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of using 10 % and 20 % corn distiller's dried grains with solubles (CDDGS) as partial replacement for yellow corn and soybean meal with or without adding 0.05 % Galzym powder on productive performance, some blood plasma parameters and the immune response of broiler chicks. A total number of 240 day-old, unsexed broiler chicks were randomly assigned to six treatments 40 chicks each. The first group was fed basal (starter and grower-finisher) diets without supplements and considered as control (T1) group, the second group was fed as T1 plus 0.05 % Galzym (T2), the third group was fed 10 % CDDGS (T3), the 4th group was fed as T3 plus Galzym addition, the 5th group was fed 20 % CDDGS (T5), the 6th group was fed as T5 plus Galzym (T6). The obtained results showed that final live body weight values increased by CDDGS replacement. The highest final live body weight, total feed intake and total body weight gain values were recorded by the birds fed 20 % CDDGS level with Galzym as compared to other experimental treatments. Also, the lowest total feed conversion values were recorded for the birds fed 20% CDDGS plus Galzym as compared to other experimental birds. The results showed that there were significant increase in the experimental treatments in plasma total protein and total triglycerides values compared with the control treatment. Moreover, there were insignificant increases in total cholesterol values compared with the control group. Also, there were significant decreases in plasma inorganic phosphorus values as compared to the control treatment. The specific immunity against avian influenza disease virus (AIDV) titer was significantly increased when using 10 % CDDGS with Galzym supplementation in the diets after vaccination as compared to other experimental samples. Also, there were insignificant differences in the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) titer after vaccination among all the experimental treatments. It is concluded that using CDDGS up to 20% in broiler diets as partial replacement for yellow corn and soybean meal with or without Galzym supplementation improved growth performance of broiler chicks and enhanced the specific immunity against avian influenza disease virus titer, with no adverse effects on their physiological blood parameters.
Selective leaching of copper from near infrared sensor-based pre-concentrated copper ores

Abstract: Copper oxide ore was pre-concentrated using near infrared sensor-based method and classified as product, middling and waste. The product and middling fractions were leached with ammonium chloride reagent. The effect of temperature, ammonium chloride concentration, solidliquid ratio, stirring speed and particle size experimental variables were investigated. Mineralogical and chemical analysis of the ore fractions indicated that copper content was in accordance with the preconcentration strategy, with the product having a higher concentration than the middling and waste. The rate of copper extraction was found to be higher in the product than in the middling sample which further supports the near infrared classification, QEMSCAN®, X-ray diffraction, SEM mineralogical and X-ray florescence and Inductively coupled plasma Mass spectrometry chemical data. It was revealed that the leaching rate increases with increasing ammonium chloride concentration, temperature and decreasing ore particle size, stirring speed and solid-liquid ratio. Analysis of the experimental data by shrinking core model indicated that the dissolution kinetics follow the heterogeneous reaction model for the chemical control mechanism where the activation energies of 45.9 kJ/mol and 47.5 kJ/mol for product and middling fractions respectively were obtained. Characterization of the residue obtained at optimum leaching condition with X-ray diffraction suggests that copper was selectively leached when compared to the profile of the raw ore. The trace levels of metals associated with abundant X-ray diffraction profiles of residue found in the leachate further confirm the selective leaching process.
Disciplining Geo-body of the Dutch Indies: Discourse Analysis on the Colonial School Textbooks of Geography

Geography was one of the instruments the Dutch used to master the knowledge about their colonial possessions. In the Dutch Indies, geographical knowledge was developed by the Dutch colonial government and introduced to the natives through schools. The school textbooks in the Dutch colonial periods were important media for disseminating the modern geography knowledge to the natives. By analysing three geography textbooks from 1875 to 1920, this paper examines how was a new spatial mode portrayed and disseminated through colonial textbooks of geography, and how did modern geography build a new subjectivity among the colonized society. Applying Foucauldian discourse analysis, this paper aims to explicate the roles of media in producing a new spatial mode in the Dutch Indies. This study finds that geography textbooks have introduced the Hindia Netherland as a single entity under the Dutch colonial power. The textbooks, as the narrative explanation of the map, have legitimized the map as an established truth. Not only trained the natives how to read the maps, they have also trained the natives how to make the maps. They have constructed a new mode of spatiality, through which the natives were perceived as individuals, placed in and belong to certain territories, no longer related to certain rulers. The modern geography was the perfect instrument of colonial epistemological domination. It has emerged as a new knowledge or power of humans and their regions, through which the Dutch colonial government has changed the traditional ‘mandala’ form of power into a modern ‘geo-body’ form Keywords: Geo-body, colonial geography, colonial geography textbook, colonial map, communication geography.
L. M. (2019). Disordered personality traits and psychiatric morbidity in pregnancy: a population-based study. Archives of Women's Mental Health. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00737-018-0937-8

This study aims to investigate the characteristics and mental health status of pregnant women with disordered personality traits. A cross-sectional study of a stratified sample of 545 women attending antenatal booking at a South London maternity service was conducted. Disordered personality traits were assessed using the Standardised Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS). Mental disorders were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview DSM-IV (SCID). Logistic regression was used to model associations, adjusting for confounders. Complete SAPAS data were collected for over 99% of women (n = 541). The weighted prevalence of elevated disordered personality traits (SAPAS ≥ 3) was 16.2% (95%CI 12.6–20.5). Womenwith elevated disordered personality traits were younger, less likely to live alone and more likely to report living in insecure accommodation. Among women with elevated disordered personality traits, the most common mental disorders were anxiety disorders (31.4%) and depressive disorders (17.6%). Each extra item endorsed on the SAPAS was associated with an 82% higher odds of meeting criteria for an Axis I mental disorder (adjusted OR 1.82 (1.42–2.33); p < 0.001). Women with elevated disordered personality traits were at significantly increased risk of experiencing thoughts of self-harm (adjusted OR 2.12 (1.33–3.40); p = 0.002). Pregnant women with disordered personality traits are a particularly vulnerable population, with multiple psychosocial problems that are likely to require tailored support to ameliorate future health risks for mother and baby.
The Psychological Parameters of Athletic Injuries in Female Collegiate Athletes

Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in the psychological parameters of life stress and anxiety as risk factors to injury. Methods: Participants in this study are female athletes [n=51, (36 injured, 15 non-injured)] from four various sports teams (basketball, golf, soccer, and softball) at an NCAA Division I college. The participants completed four different questionnaires: an injury report, the Life Events Coping Scale for Collegiate Athletes (LESCA), the Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT). Results: Results indicated that injured athletes experienced more life stress than non-injured athletes and this difference was statistically significant. Results also showed that in personality competitive anxiety and sport competitive anxiety, non-injured athletes have lower anxiety than injured athletes. Conclusion: This study sought to examine the differences in injured and non-injured athletes between psychological parameters that may lead to injury. The difference in life events between injured and non-injured athletes was statistically significant while the difference in personality competitive anxiety and sport competitive anxiety was not statistically significant.

High-Speed Counter-Current Chromatography in Separation and Identification of Saponins from Beta vulgaris L. Cultivar Red Sphere

The widely described health benefi ts of red beet root (Beta vulgaris L.) have led to increased scientifi c and consumer interest in this vegetable [Chhikara et al., 2019; Clifford et al., 2015; Nemzer et al., 2011]. Red beet is rich in several bioactive compounds which can be useful in the treatment of many diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and dementia [Clifford et al., 2015; Nemzer et al., 2011]. Beet root is a rich source of highly bioactive saponins which are associated with haemolytic [Voutquenne et al., 2003]; molluscicidal [Huang et al., 2003]; anti-infl ammatory [da Silva et al., 2002]; antifungal, anti-yeast activity, and antibacterial [de Lucca et al., 2002]; as well as with antiparasitic activity [Traore et al., 2000]. They exhibit also cytotoxic, antitumoric [González et al., 2003], and antiviral effects [Gosse et al., 2002]. Saponins are divided into two groups: steroidal saponins and triterpenoid saponins. Some authors distinguish a third group called steroidal amines or steroidal alkaloids [Bruneton, 1995]. Triterpenoid saponins are a common group of saponins consisting of a triterpenoid aglycone containing 30 carbon atoms and comprising a pentacyclic structure [Sparg et al., 2004]. Triterpene saponins are glycosides
Phase II trial evaluating the use of 21-gene recurrence score (RS) to select preoperative therapy in hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer.

562 Background: Hormone receptor (HR)- positive breast cancer patients (pts) typically have lower pathological responses to pre-operative chemotherapy than HR-negative breast cancers. Objective: We evaluated the pathologic and radiologic response rates to pre-operative endocrine therapy or chemotherapy, as directed by RS, in pts with HR-positive resectable breast cancers. Methods: Pts with HR-positive breast cancers had RS performed on the initial diagnostic biopsy. Pts were treated pre-operatively as follows based on RS: ≤10, exemestane +/- goserelin for 6 to 12 months (ET); 11 to 25 randomized to ET or docetaxel-cyclophosphamide (TC) for 6 cycles (CT); ≥ 26, CT. Results: From 4/2009 to 12/2012, 66 pts signed consent for RS testing and 46 are evaluable for efficacy analysis. Median age is 57 (40 to 78); one-third of pts are African-American; 41% have clinically node positive disease. RS ranged from 2 to 57. 28 pts received CT: Pathologic complete response (PCR) rate was 10% and 60% of cancers were down-s.
Effect of SBAR-Collaborative Communication Program on the Nurses' Communication skills and the Collaboration between Nurses and Doctors

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of the SBAR-Collaborative Communication Program on nurses’communication skills and on collaboration between nurses and doctors. Methods: From March 11 to November 11, 2013, data were collected from 180 hospital nurses working in a university hospital in Gyeonggi province. Outcomes were measured at three time intervals; before, three and six months after the program was completed. Results: After participating in this program, there was a significant increase in nurses’communication skills but not in collaboration between nurses and doctors. None of the participants' general categories influenced nurses’communication skills at pre-test, but age, education level, total years of working and work department significantly influenced scores at 3 and 6 months. Work department was the only category for which there was a significant difference in collaboration between nurses and doctors at pre-test, and education level and work department were related to significant improvement at 6 months. Conclusion: Findings indicate that this program can improve communication skills for nurses and also, collaboration between nurses and doctors, especially for nurses under 25 years of age. Thus nursing and hospital managers should provide SBAR-Collaborative Communication Programs to new nurses in their job training.
Risk Disclosure and Cost of Equity: A Bayesian Approach (Divulgación de información sobre riesgos y coste de los recursos propios: un enfoque bayesiano)

Resumen El objetivo de este articulo es analizar la relacion entre la divulgacion de informacion sobre riesgo y el coste de capital de los recursos propios de empresas que cotizan en el mercado de capitales espanol. Este estudio utiliza un conjunto de 71 empresas que cotizaron en la Bolsa de Madrid entre 2010 y 2015; todas son empresas no financieras de las que habia previsiones de beneficios. El problema se ha analizado bajo un enfoque de regresion lineal Bayesiana. Los resultados del estudio muestran que el coste de capital de los recursos propios y la informacion de riesgo divulgada no estan relacionados cuando se toma la informacion de riesgos de manera global. Sin embargo, cuando la informacion de riesgo se divide en riesgos financieros y no financieros, se encuentra una relacion positiva entre los riesgos financieros y el coste de capital de los recursos propios. ***** Abstract This paper aims to analyze the relationship between risk information disclosure and the cost of equity of companies in the Spanish capital market. This study uses a set of 71 firms listed on Madrid stock exchange between 2010 and 2015; all of them are non-financial listed companies for which profit forecasts existed. The problem was analyzed using a Bayesian linear regression approach. The results show that cost of equity and disclosed risk information are not related if a global view of the latter is adopted. However, a positive relationship between financial risks and the cost of equity occurs when risk information is divided into financial and non-financial risks.
Selecting a Suitable Remote Phosphor Configuration for Improving Color Quality of White Led

When compared with two conformal phosphor and in-cup phosphor structures, the remote phosphor structure has higher luminescent performance. However, it is di cult to control the color quality of the remote phosphor structure, so it has become a research target in recent years. So far, there are two remote phosphor structures used to improve color quality including dual-layer phosphor con guration and triple-layer phosphor con guration. This study suggests using those two con gurations to make multi-chip white LEDs (WLEDs) that can achieve adequate values in color rendering index (CRI), color quality scale (CQS), luminous efcacy (LE) and color uniformity. WLEDs with color temperature of 5600 K are applied. Research results show that the triple-layer phosphor con guration is superior in CRI, CQS, LE. Besides, the color deviation decreases signi cantly, meaning that the color homogeneity increases with the triple-layer phosphor con guration. This can be demonstrated by analyzing the scattering characteristics of phosphor classes through Mie theory, thus making the research results more reliable and valuable for producing quality WLEDs.
Probucol Prevents Diabetes-Induced Retinal Neuronal Degeneration through Upregulating Nrf2

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a sight-threatening complication of diabetes. This study investigated the therapeutic effect of probucol in a mouse model of diabetic retinopathy. C57BL/6 mice were rendered diabetic through Streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneal injection. Mice were treated with probucol (150 mg/kg, gavage administration) or vehicle (DMSO) for 12 weeks. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography (FP), and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were conducted to evaluate retinal structure and damage. Eyes were collected for histology, reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay, apoptotic cells count, and western blot. After STZ injection, all mice developed hyperglycemia. Compared with the retina of the control group, the retina of diabetic mice showed enhanced arterial reflex and beaded vein dilatation. Besides, reduced inner and middle retinal thickness and significantly fewer nuclei were found in diabetic retina. Moreover, the diabetic retina also presented increased ROS generation and more TUNEL-positive cells. Probucol treatment prevented diabetes-induced lesions. In addition, the treatment also upregulated Nrf2 expression in diabetic retina. It was suggested that probucol attenuated diabetes-induced retinal neuronal degeneration via upregulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway possibly. Probucol may be repurposed for DR management.
Tricking the Trickster: Evidence for Predicted Sequential Structure in a 19-Year
 Online Psi Experiment

From August 2000 to December 2018, two online psi experiments based on a five-target, forced-choice protocol together collected 114 million trials from an estimated 200,000 people around the world. The hit rate combined across both experiments was consistent with a null effect. However, a planned secondary analysis, designed to detect a predicted sequential pattern in the data, resulted in a small magnitude but statistically unambiguous outcome. With a chance expected rate of po = 0.32, the combined observed p1 = 0.320502 ± 0.000044, z = 11.28, p = 1.7 × 10-29. Control tests found no evidence that this small deviation, found independently in two separate experiments, was due to human behavior such as optional stopping or response biases, nor to computational or randomization errors that might have provided participants with subtle cues. If analysis of other forced-choice psi tests replicates this effect, it would suggest the existence of an unconscious process that tends to obscure accuracy in psychic perception. Gaining a better understanding of that process might lead to more robust results in psi experiments.
Myopia in investment: Seasoned manager’s age and long-term investment distortion

Myopia in financial terms is included in the discussion of short-termism in investments. This study analyzes the effect of managerial age on investment policies taken by the top-level management with controlled variables consists of investment opportunity, firm size, profitability, leverage, and firm year effect. This study uses a fixed effect model estimation with data samples containing secondary data from 52 manufacturing firms listed in BEI. Data samples are selected through a purposive sampling method to filter and choose data that fit the study criteria. Study results show that the seasoned manager’s age has a negative and significant effect on long term investment, which implies that the older the seasoned manager’s age could increase the tendency of investment myopia. Controlled variables such as investment opportunity and firm size have a positive effect on long term investment, while the firm-year effect factor of 2013 and 2014 have positive effects but insignificant effect on long term investment.

Partial Identification and Inference in Duration Models with Endogenous Censoring

This paper studies identification and inference in transformation models with endogenous censoring. Many kinds of duration models, such as the accelerated failure time model, proportional hazard model, and mixed proportional hazard model, can be viewed as transformation models. We allow the censoring of a duration outcome to be arbitrarily correlated with observed covariates and unobserved heterogeneity. We impose no parametric restrictions on either the transformation function or the distribution function of the unobserved heterogeneity. In this setting, we develop bounds on the regression parameters and the transformation function, which are characterized by conditional moment inequalities involving U‐statistics. Subsequently, we provide inference methods for them by constructing an inference approach for conditional moment inequality models in which the sample analogs of moments are U‐statistics. We apply the proposed inference methods to evaluate the effect of unemployment insurance on duration of joblessness using data from the Current Population Survey's Displaced Workers Supplements.
