Relationship Between Professional Self–Esteem and Job Stress among Psychiatric Nurses Working at El–Abbassiya Psychiatric Hospital

Professional self-concept is the individual’s perception of own self as a professional person. Stress is considered a common phenomenon in nursing due to the nature of clinical environments. However, the relationship between these two variables is unclear in the review of the literature. Accordingly, this study was aiming to assess the relationship between professional self-esteem and job stress among psychiatric nurses working at ElAbbassiya Psychiatric Hospital which is affiliated to the General Secretariat of Mental Health and Ministry of Health, Cairo, Egypt. Subjects of the study included 220 nurses of both sexes. Tools of data collection were Aricak’s Professional SelfEsteem Scale and Psychiatric Nurses' Job Stress Scale (PNJSS) and Socio demographic sheet was used as the first part of the first tool (Aricak’s Professional Self-Esteem Scale). The results indicated that, there was no significant relation between professional self-esteem and job stress among nurses. The researchers recommended future interventions programs to promote professional self-esteem among psychiatric nurses.
Endogenous Testosterone Hormone and Agonistic Behavior in Male Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica)

| The objective of the current study was to estimate the relationship between endogenous serum testosterone hormones and agonistic behavior in male Japanese quail. Forty healthy adult Japanese quails (30 males and 10 females) were randomly distributed into three experimental groups. The 1st group (G1, n= 10 males) was housed individually, the 2nd group (G2, 10 males and 10 females) was simultaneously housed in one cage, and the 3 rd group (G3; n= 10 males) birds were housed together in a single cage. Serum testosterone concentration has been estimated alongside different behavioral (head banging, eyelid injuries, head plumage deterioration) and sexual (cloacal gland area, foam production, absolute and relative testes weight) traits. The results revealed that there was a highly significant difference (p ≤0.001) among males housing status on testosterone levels. Serum concentrations of testosterone were significantly (p ≤0.001) increased in males in G2 and G3 by 91.35 and 98.41 %, respectively than that of males in G1. In addition, the results demonstrated that highly positive correlations (p=0.01) were found between serum testosterone concentration and each of head banging, eyelid injuries and head plumage deterioration, and moderate positive correlations (p=0.225) with foam production. In contrast, negative correlations were found between testosterone concentration and each of absolute testes weight (p=0.294), and cloacal gland area (p=0.074). These results demonstrate that changing levels of testosterone in the blood may be due to male’s status. The present results may provide a role of testosterone towards aggressive pecking behavior among males when kept lonely or with females.

Fast retrieval of weather analogues in a multi-petabyte meteorological archive

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) manages the largest archive of meteorological data in the world. At the time of writing, it holds around 300 petabytes and grows at a rate of 1 petabyte per week. This archive is now mature, and contains valuable datasets such as several reanalyses, providing a consistent view of the weather over several decades. Weather analogue is the term used by meteorologists to refer to similar weather situations. Looking for analogues in an archive using a brute force approach requires data to be retrieved from tape and then compared to a user-provided weather pattern, using a chosen similarity measure. Such an operation would be very long and costly. In this work, a wavelet-based fingerprinting scheme is proposed to index all weather patterns from the archive, over a selected geographical domain. The system answers search queries by computing the fingerprint of the query pattern and looking for close matched in the index. Searches are fast enough that they are perceived as being instantaneous. A web-based application is provided, allowing users to express their queries interactively in a friendly and straightforward manner by sketching weather patterns directly in their web browser. Matching results are then presented as a series of weather maps, labelled with the date and time at which they occur. The system has been deployed as part of the Copernicus Climate Data Store and allows the retrieval of weather analogues from ERA5, a 40-years hourly reanalysis dataset. Some preliminary results of this work have been presented at the International Conference on Computational Science 2018 (Raoult et al. (2018)).

Micromorphological response towards altered environmental conditions in subsequent stages of in vitro propagation of Morinda coreia

The foliar micromorphological alterations from in vitro to field environments of micropropagated plantlets of Morinda coreia Buch. and Ham. were compared as developmental changes across the culture conditions. There were gradual developmental responses in stomatal structures, vascular tissues (venation) and raphides towards the field environment. The leaves under in vitro environment were thin with poorly developed leaf characteristics; these were impaired through ex vitro rooting prior to field transplantation. In vitro leaves had lower vein islet density (8.6 ± 0.16) and vein terminations (0.0) and raphide density (8.0 ± 0.19) as compared to rooted and acclimatized leaves. The physiological and structural adaptations in terms of stomata development lead to effective regulation of transpiration. Improved vein density for proper translocation of nutrients was achieved during gradual acclimation. Development of crystals, raphides and trichomes in the field environment suggested improvement in defense mechanisms. The gradual changes in foliar micromorphological structures during subsequent stages were responsible for adaptability, leading to improved survival success of in vitro regenerated plantlets of M. coreia during their field trials.
Analysis of cassava production and processing by various groups in support of cassava value chain in the south west of Nigeria

The study aimed to analyse cassava production and processing in the 5 highest cassava producing states in the south west of Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 136 smallholder farmers producing cassava in the study area. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire and an interview schedule while the data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that, within the study area, male headed households dominate (67%), average size of the household is six while the primary occupation of the household head is farming. The average yield per hectare for improved varieties is about 18 tons and that for local varieties is about 10 tons. The average price of a ton of fresh cassava roots (FCR) is US$55.5. There is no significant relationship between the socioeconomic characteristics of the smallholder farmers and the varieties planted but there is a significant relationship between the varieties grown and the processed products. It is therefore recommended that while farmers continue to grow cassava for local food use, they should plant the improved varieties for increased yield while also targeting markets for industrial uses to improve income from the sale of fresh cassava roots. Key words: Smallholder farmers, cassava production, processing, value addition.
A Cytoplasmic GOLD Protein Controls Cell Polarity

Phosphoinositide lipids provide spatial landmarks during polarized secretion. Here, we elucidate a role for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) metabolism in the control of cell polarity. In budding yeast, PI4P is enriched at the plasma membrane of growing daughter cells. Upon heat shock however, PI4P rapidly increases at the plasma membrane in mother cells resulting in a more uniform PI4P distribution. Rather than phosphoinositide kinase activation, PI4P hydrolysis is impaired to generate the heat-induced PI4P signal in mother cells. This fine tune control of PI4P metabolism is mediated through attenuation of the Osh3 protein that binds and presents PI4P to a phosphoinositide phosphatase. Importantly, Osh3 undergoes phase transitions upon environmental stress conditions, resulting in intracellular aggregates and reduced cortical localization. The chaperone Hsp104 co-assembles with intracellular Osh3 granules, but is not required for their formation. Interestingly, the Osh3 GOLD domain, also present in the ER-localized p24 cargo adaptor family, is sufficient to form stress granules. Accordingly, GOLD-mediated phase transitions may provide a general mechanism to modulate secretion and growth upon transient changes in physiological and environmental conditions.
Firm Liquidity and Dividend Payments: A Panel Analysis of Financial and Real Sector Firms in Nigeria

This study examined the relationship between firm liquidity and the dividend payments of listed companies in Nigeria on one hand, and made a comparative analysis of this relationship between the financial and real sector firms, on the other. The study employed panel least squares regression to analyze the data of 30 listed firms (15 each drawn from the financial and real sectors of the Nigerian economy). Specifically, the study examined the effect of five liquidity and funds flow variables: current ratio (CUR), profit after tax (PAT), earnings per share (EPS), sales/gross earnings (SAL) and debtcapital ratio (DCR) on the dividend payments (DPS) of the firms under study for the period 2008 – 2017. Findings from the study show that using the fixed effect model results for the financial sector firms, CUR and PAT have positive and statistically significant effects on DPS while the rest ( EPS, SAL and DCR) have negative and statistically insignificant effects on DPS. However, using the random effect model results for the real sector, the CUR has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on the DPS while PAT and SAL have positive and statistically significant effects on DPS. EPS has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on DPS while DCR has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on the DPS. It is concluded that liquidity has significant effect on dividend payment of both the financial and real sector of the Nigerian economy. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the effect of liquidity on dividend payment of financial and real sector firms shows that though liquidity affects the dividend policy of both the financial and real sector firms in Nigeria, the effects are not uniform in the two sectors. In the financial sector, liquidity ratio (CUR) has a positive and statistically significant effect on the dividend payments of financial sector firms, while in the real sector, it has a negative and statistically insignificant effect on it. Only the profit after tax has positive and statistically significant effect on dividend payments in both financial and real sector firms. A comparative analysis between the financial and real sector firms show that liquidity in terms of current ratio and profit after tax have positive and significant effects on dividend payments among the financial sector firms while profit after tax and sales have positive and significant effects on real sector firms. The study recommends that in taking dividend decisions, financial firms need to manage their liquidity position well and ensure profitability while real sector firms should focus more on their sales and profit after tax.
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING INFORMATION USEFULNESS AND CLOUD COMPUTING QUALITIES AMONG SMALL MEDIUM ENTERPRISES

Small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit and become competitive by utilizing information and communication technologies. Despite constraints faced by SMEs in adopting management accounting practices, it is imperative that management accounting information (MAI) be utilized to attain effective and efficient business operations. SMEs can benefit from cloud computing through the reduction of operating costs related to new technology adoption. In acknowledging the significance of cloud computing and MAI, this study examined the extent of MAI usefulness and qualities of cloud computing among Malaysian SMEs. Through self-administered questionnaires, a total of 105 respondents’ feedback was analyzed. The usefulness of MAI is a result of the availability and importance of each dimension’s items (timeliness, aggregation, scope, and integration). The findings also showed that the qualities of cloud computing (agility, assurance, accountability, financial, security and privacy, performance, and usability) can be considered as important; thus indicating the extent of technology utilization among SMEs. Keywords: Management accounting information, cloud computing, small-to-medium enterprises.
Bioorthogonal Antigens Allow the Study of Intracellular Processing and Presentation of Post-Translationally Modified Antigens

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been implicated in several (auto)immune diseases. For example, citrullinated and carbamylated self-proteins are targeted by the auto-immune response in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). At present, little is known on the processes leading to autoimmunity. This is in part due to a lack of tools to image and assess the impact of these PTMs in antigen processing and presentation in antigen presenting cells (APCs). Here we present a bioorthogonal chemistry-based approach by which biologically inert chemical handles are introduced into protein antigens, RA-autoantigen Vinculin453-724 and the model antigen Ovalbumin, during expression, followed by the ligation of a fluorophore after uptake and processing in APCs via copper-catalyzed-azide-alkyne-cycloaddition (CuAAC). Using these “bioorthogonal antigens”, individual effects of citrullination and carbamylation on antigen processing/presentation were investigated showing that for the RA-autoantigen vinculin, carbamylation, but not citrullination, increases antigen persistence in DCs. Neither of these modifications, however, translate to alterations in the activation of an anti-vinculin T-cell by human APCs.
The Effects of Electromagnetic Stirring on Microstructure and Properties of γ-TiAl Based Alloys Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting Technique

—The γ -TiAl based Ti-Al-Mn-Nb alloys were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) on the TC4 substrate. The microstructures of the alloys were investigated in detail. The results reveal that the alloy without electromagnetic stirring (EMS) consists of γ -TiAl phase with tetragonal structure and α 2 - Ti 3 Al phase with hcp structure, while the alloy with applied EMS consists of γ -TiAl, α 2 - Ti 3 Al and α -Ti with hcp structure, and the morphological structure of the alloy without EMS which exhibits near lamellar structure and the alloy with EMS shows duplex structure, the alloy without EMS shows some microcracks and pores while they are not observed in the alloy without EMS. The microhardness and wear resistance values decrease with applied EMS.
The devil is in the detail: The role of threat level and intolerance of uncertainty in extinction

Recent evidence suggests that individual differences in intolerance of uncertainty (IU) are associated with disrupted threat extinction. However, it is unknown what maintains the learned threat association in high IU individuals: is it the experienced uncertainty during extinction or the combination of experienced uncertainty with potential threat during extinction? Here we addressed this question by running two independent experiments with uncertain auditory stimuli that varied in threat level (Experiment 1, aversive human scream (n = 30); Experiment 2, benign tone (n = 47) and mildly aversive tone (n = 49)). During the experiments, we recorded skin conductance responses and subjective ratings to the learned cues during acquisition and extinction. In experiment 1, high IU was associated with heightened skin conductance responding to the learned threat vs. safe cue during extinction. In experiment 2, high IU was associated only with larger skin conductance responding to the learned cues with threatening properties during extinction i.e. mildly aversive tone. These findings suggest that uncertainty in combination with threat, even when mild, disrupts extinction in high IU individuals. Such findings help us understand the link between IU and threat extinction, and its relevance to anxiety disorder pathology.
Category-Aware Aircraft Landmark Detection

Aircraft landmark detection (ALD) aims at detecting the keypoints of aircraft, which can serve as an important role for subsequent applications such as fine-grained aircraft recognition. In ALD, the physical size discrepancy between different kinds of aircraft may lead to inconsistent landmark structure, which significantly harms landmark detection results. In this letter, we take advantage of the category prior to alleviate the size discrepancy in ALD. The proposed category-aware landmark detection network (CALDN) possesses two streams: a classification stream for size categorization and a localization stream for landmark detection. Instance-level size category information captured by classification stream serves as the guidance in the localization stream for robust landmark detection. Moreover, a category attention module (CAM) is proposed for better-utilizing category information to guide ALD. Benefitting from the adaptive attention mechanism, CAM can automatically highlight category-specific features for ulteriorly reducing the influence of size discrepancy. Furthermore, to advance ALD research, we contribute the first perspective-variant aircraft landmark dataset. Solid experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method.
