The plants grown in a private banana orchard, where clay loam soil under flood irrigation system, at 3.5x3. 5m apart located at Nakada district, Quena Governorate, Egypt. Forty eight stools each containing three plants were chosen to evaluate the effect of yeast applied as soil drench and spraying ascorbic acid (V.C) on growth, yield and fruit quality. These treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design in split plot arrangement with three replicates
Thin-layer drying characteristics of papaya (Carica papaya) peel using convection oven and microwave drying

In this study, papaya (Carica papaya) peel was dried using convection oven and microwave drying methods to investigate the drying kinetics and the drying behavior in the attempt to search for a feasible way to utilize waste peel. Three different drying temperatures (45, 55, and 65 °C) and microwave powers (250, 440, and 600 W) were applied to dry the papaya peel, wherein the drying data were fitted into the following seven drying kinetic models: Lewis, Page, Modified Page, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Two-Term, and Approximation of Diffusion models. The study outcomes indicated that the Page model emerged as the best fitted model for oven drying of papaya peels with the highest coefficient of determination (R2) value (0.994-0.996) for all the three temperatures. As for microwave drying, the Approximation of Diffusion model exhibited the best fit owing to the highest R2 value (0.996-0.999) for all the three powers. The effective moisture diffusivity values for convection oven and microwave drying methods ranged from 6.65 x 10-08 to 4.35 x 10-07 and from 2.43 x 10-07 to 6.67 x 10-07, respectively. Additionally, the activation energy values were recorded at 61.301 kJ/mol and 46.621 W/g for oven and microwave drying methods, respectively.
EFFECT OF Cd2+ STRESS ON SEED GERMINATION CHARACTERISTICS OF RYEGRASS, INDIAN MUSTARD AND GRAIN AMARANTH

In order to select a better plant to extract cadmium in heavy metal contaminated soil, a hydroponic germination experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of cadmium on seed germination characteristics of Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.), Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) and Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The results showed that fresh weight, dry weight and germination index of Ryegrass were promoted at the low cadmium concentrations (= 25 mg/L), while that of 3 plants was inhibited at the high cadmium concentrations (= 50 mg/L). The inhibition rates of root and bud length of three plants were correlated significantly with cadmium concentrations (P < 0.05). The bud sensitivity of three plants to cadmium was in order of Grain amaranth, Ryegrass and Indian mustard, and the sensitivity of root length of three plants to cadmium was in order of Grain amaranth, Indian mustard and Ryegrass, based on the half inhibitory concentration (IC50). The tolerance of three plants to cadmium was in order of Ryegrass, Indian mustard and Grain amaranth based on the value of membership function. Our findings suggest that the root length inhibition rate can probably be used as an important indicator to assess ability of heavy metal (Cd2+) stress. Ryegrass is speculated to have better resistance to Cd2+ stress and may be further applied to heavy metal Cd2+ ecological restoration.
Microstructural Refinement and Corrosion Resistance Improvement of Heat-Treated A356 Alloy Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing

The microstructure refinement, hardness and corrosion resistance of heat-treated A356 aluminium alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) were investigated. ECAP was carried out at room temperature using a mold, with a channel angle of 120° via route A. Results of the investigation confirm that the flaky coarse silicon particles were effectively fragmented from 4.22 to 0.761 μm and the grain size reduced from 171 to 40 μm after four passes of heat-treated as-cast using ECAP process. ECAP processing increases the hardness of heat-treated as-cast alloy from 61 Hv to 125 HV after four passes. Heat-treated A356 alloy shows enhanced corrosion resistance from 0.0424 to 0.00149 mmy-1, after four passes. In this research, ECAP processing has been shown to improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of as-cast A356 alloy.
Panorama of Inflammatory Arthropathies in Rheumatologic Consultation in Northen-Togo

Objectives: To determine the frequency and epidemiological profile of inflammatory arthropathies during a rheumatologic consultation. Patients and methods: It was a series of cases study carried out over four years on files of patients suffering from inflammatory arthropathy and submitted to rheumatologic consultation at Kara Teaching Hospital (Northen-Togo). Results: Among the 2361 rheumatic patients, 152 (6.43%) suffered from inflammatory arthropathy. The 152 patients were made of 57.24% of men and 42.76% of women. The main etiologies observed were: chronic inflammatory rheumatism (CIR) and connective tissue disease (49.34%), infectious arthritis (26.32%), and gout (24.34%). The median age of the 75 patients with CIR at the onset of the disease was 40 years. The main clinical forms of CIR were rheumatoid arthritis (11 cases), spondylarthropathies (20 cases), connective tissue diseases (4 cases), and unclassified CIR (31 cases). The infectious arthritis was caused by a banal germ in 31 cases and by bacillus of Koch in nine other cases. Gout patients (35 men and 2 women) had a median age of 43 years at the onset of the disease. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the high incidence of chronic inflammatory rheumatism in Northen-Togo.
Spin–lattice relaxation phenomena in the magnetic state of a suggested Weyl semimetal CeAlGe

ABSTRACT In this work, we report the results of DC susceptibility, AC susceptibility and related technique, resistivity, transverse and longitudinal magnetoresistance and heat capacity on polycrystalline magnetic semimetal CeAlGe. This compound undergoes antiferromagnetic type ordering around 5.2 K (T1). Under the application of external magnetic fields, parallel alignment of magnetic moments is favoured above 0.5 T. At low field and temperature, frequency and AC field amplitude response of AC susceptibility indicate the presence of spin–lattice relaxation phenomena. The observation of spin–lattice interaction suggests the presence of the Rashba–Dresselhaus spin–orbit interaction which is associated with inversion and time-reversal symmetry breaking. Additionally, the presence of negative and asymmetric longitudinal magnetoresistance indicates anomalous velocity contribution to the magnetoresistance due to the Rashba–Dresselhaus spin–orbit interaction which is further studied by heat capacity.
The Financial Services Authority of Indonesia E-Reporting System Development Based on Metadata XBRL Taxonomy

Article history: Received: 19 October, 2019 Accepted: 08 January, 2020 Online: 15 January, 2020 The XBRL taxonomy has been proven to be able to restore various forms of redundancies and ambiguities in making financial reports from financial service institutions. However, the nature of XBRL which is oriented towards documents and based on XML makes the XBRL taxonomy difficult to use because the information cannot be directly read by ordinary users. The same obstacle was felt by the Financial Services Authority of Indonesia (Indonesian: Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK) as financial regulator in utilizing the XBRL taxonomy, therefore a web-based application system called E-Reporting was developed to input financial statements conducted from financial service institutions to the regulator. The core of the application system is the XBRL taxonomy reading and mapping function, utilizing the Java library for reading XML and the Spring Java framework as a system backend, the Zkoss framework as the system frontend, and the database for storing data and specifically developed for the needs of the OJK. The purpose of this paper is to show other ways of implementing XBRL taxonomy, one of which is to present XBRL into a dynamic user interface according to the dynamic and flexible nature of XBRL. The results of the system evaluation indicate that the system is quite good at presenting the taxonomy into a user interface that suits the needs and can ease the burden of data validation, as well as providing convenience in forming the instance document, which is needed as the final result of the reporting process carried out by financial service institutions. Therefore, this system has been proven to provide added value in the use of XBRL taxonomy in financial reporting activities.
Switching gear and looking from a different angle in the treatment of HER2-positive disease

The results of the APHINITY trial were recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine by von Minckwitz et al . , wherein adjuvant pertuzumab was combined with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (1). The addition of pertuzumab produced a 0.9% lower recurrence rate and death at 3 years (1). However, the absolute benefit was better in patients with lymph node metastases; in these patients, the rate of invasive disease-free survival (DFS) was 1.8% higher in the pertuzumab group than in the placebo group (1). Pertuzumab might have a position in adjuvant treatment for patients with multiple lymph node involvement or those willing to allow considerable adverse side effects in return for questionable benefit (1). Real-world clinical significance is perhaps subtler than the rigid numbers that determine statistical significance in clinical trials. The results for pertuzumab in the APHINITY trial were statistically significant with reference to the primary endpoint of invasive DFS (1). However, compared to results of pertuzumab treatment in the context of advanced breast cancer (CLEOPATRA) and the neoadjuvant setting (NeoSphere), the results of APHINITY were a clinical and scientific disappointment (1-3).
CLINICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ANEMIA IN A TERTIARY CARE RURAL HOSPITAL OF WESTERN MAHARASHTRA

Background: Anemia is defined as reduction of the total red cell mass below normal limits. Anemia is usually diagnosed based on a reduction in the haematocrit (the ratio of packed red cells to the blood volume) and the hemoglobin concentration of the blood to levels that are below the normal range. Dermal loss of iron is also suggested as one of the possible contributing factors in the genesis of iron deficiency Anemia in the tropics. In view of the geographical location of western Maharashtra which too has climate similar to tropical parts it was thought prudent to evaluate the clinical profile of anemia in the rural patients presenting with the manifestations of anemia. Objectives: To study Clinical profile, nail changes and type of anemia on Peripheral blood picture of patients presenting with Anemia in a tertiary care rural hospital of Western Maharashtra. Methodology: Total 200 Patients diagnosed to be cases of anemia in a tertiary care rural hospital of Western Maharashtra were enrolled for the study during the study period. All the patients satisfying the above inclusion and exclusion criteria were studied for Clinical profile, nail changes and type of anemia on Peripheral blood picture. Â Results:Â In this study out of 200 cases the maximum no of cases seen in >40 yrs were 128(64%). The most frequent symptom was easy fatigability which was present in 190(80%) of patients followed by breathlessness in 132(76%) and the signs noted were Pallor in 188(94%), Venous hum in 88(44%), Pedal edema in 80(40%), signs of Heart failure in 80(40%). The most common type of anemia seen of Peripheral blood smear was Microcytic hypochromic in 84(42%) followed by Dimorphic in 54(27%). The proportion of Platonychia is highly significant than Koilonychias in all types of anemia. Â Conclusion:Â The clinical profile of anemia studied in the patients coming to the tertiary care hospital in rural western revealed similar pattern of presentation with other studies with easy fatigability and breathlessness as most common symptoms and pallor as most common sign . The Peripheral blood smears revealed Microcytic hypochromic anemia in 44% patient as most common morphological anemia with Platonychia as most common nail changes in all types of morphological anemia.

Pharmacodynamic Markers of LRRK2 Inhibition in Biofluids

Hyper-activated LRRK2 is linked to Parkinson’s disease susceptibility and progression. Quantitative measures of LRRK2 inhibition, especially in the brain, may be critical in the clinical development of successful LRRK2-targeting therapeutics. In this study, three different brain-penetrant and selective LRRK2 small-molecule kinase inhibitors (PFE-360, MLi2, and RA283) were orally administered to groups of cynomolgus macaques at different doses. Biofluid markers with proposed pharmacodynamic properties for assessing LRRK2 inhibition were measured from samples of blood, urine, and cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF). LRRK2 kinase inhibition led to consistent reduced pS935-LRRK2 and pRab10 proteins in blood mononuclear cells, reduced exosome LRRK2 protein and di-docosahexaenoyl (22:6) bis (monoacylglycerol) phosphate in urine, and reduced exosome LRRK2 and autophosphorylated pS1292-LRRK2 protein in CSF. Incomplete LRRK2 kinase inhibition reduced LRRK2 protein secretion in exosomes whereas high drug exposures may reduce both exosome and tissue levels of LRRK2 protein. These orthogonal markers for LRRK2 inhibition in urine and CSF can be used in combination with blood markers to non-invasively monitor the potency of LRRK2-targeting therapeutics in the brain and periphery.
Anthropometric studies of the human foot and ankle

A study of the talocrural (ankle) and talocalcaneal (subtalar) joints was made in order to acquire as much information as possible on the exact locations of their axes of rotation . The material used was 46 cadaver legs which had the ligamentous and capsular structures intact. The study was limited to only one of the factors that influence joint motion : the shapes of the articulating surfaces. With a specially designed apparatus, the two axes were determined in each specimen. Then a series of measurements was made of the angles between these two axes and between these axes and various lines of reference in the shank and foot . Measurements were also made to determine the location of the axis of the talocrural joint with respect to anatomic landmarks on the leg. Finally, the perpendicular distance between the two joint axes was measured, and, in an attempt to determine the location of the axis of the talocalcaneal joint by means of anatomic landmarks, a ratio was calculated between two segments of a line assumed to extend from the most lateral point of the lateral malleolus to the most medial point of the medial malleolus. a This study was supported by Easter Seal Research Foundation Grant N-6618 . The apparatus for determination of the joint axes was designed and built under the sponsorship of Veterans Administration Contract V1005M-2075. b Also published as: Isman, R. E . , and Inman, V.

Investigation of the effect of gaps between the blades of open flume Pico hydro turbine runners

This study will analyze the impact of gap size in two different runners called runner A (five blades) and B (six blades) to provides recommendations in design and manufacture of open flume turbine runners so that maximize the conversion of kinetic and potential energy. There are three methods was used to investigate its: analytical method is used to design the turbine; experimental to determine the actual turbine performance; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to study the physical phenomena and re-check the velocity triangle on the runner to validate the design and manufacturing process. Using the results obtained, gaps between the blades can alter the velocity vector on the outlet and unbalance the rotation of runner; this imbalance could cause cavitation. Then, the decreasing torque is assumed because water pressure in the draft tube is similar to atmospheric pressure. Two conditions must be satisfied to maximize the performance of the turbine: swirling flow is required after the water flows past the runner in order to minimize the radial velocity on the outlet so that the draft tube can function properly; the dimensions of the blade must be carefully selected to avoid the formation of gaps between the blades.
Teaching Collegiate Journalists How to Cover Traumatic Events Using Moral Development Theory

The authors make the argument that trauma journalism should be taught as part of the postsecondary curriculum in journalism schools. As part of that education, students will learn that coping with the psychological effects of repeated exposure to such events can have long-term impacts on their mental health. As Kohlberg and Rest found, students in college are at a pivotal point in their moral development. Education takes place as adolescents are developing key psychological skills, including moral and ethical decision-making. Collegiate journalists should be gaining these valuable reasoning skills as it relates to covering traumatic events.

Sonuc: PEG-membranin, sinus tabani ogmentasyonunda kollajen membrana alternatif olarak tercih edilebilecek bir bariyer membran oldugu bulundu.
Short Selling and Tax Disclosure: Evidence from Regulation SHO

We use a regulatory shock to examine whether the prospect of short selling affected tax disclosures. From May 2005 to August 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission initiated a pilot program under Regulation SHO, temporarily exempting one-third of the Russell 3000 index firms from short sale price tests, reducing short selling costs. Before the pilot program, we find that pilot firms' income tax footnote disclosures are similar to non-pilot firms. During the pilot program, we find that pilot firms have more readable income tax footnotes than non-pilot firms. The words describing tax activities also changed for tax aggressive pilot firms. In further tests, we observe greater readability among pilot firms led by senior executives whose personal wealth is more sensitive to stock price changes. After the pilot program ends, the differences between pilot and non-pilot firms disappear. These results suggest that the prospect of short selling affects tax disclosures.
The Role of a Leadership Competence in Improving the Quality of the 21st Century Civil Servants: A Phenomenological Approach of Governmental Institutions in Jakarta

This research is intended to answer the questions on the leadership quality of the civil servants in government agencies in Jakarta today and what efforts have been made by agencies to improve the quality of leadership of civil servants. This study employed a phenomenological approach of a qualitative research design since it can describe the meaning for several individuals of their lived experiences of a concept or a phenomenon. For this study, the researcher interviewed civil servants who hold positions as Head of Section or equivalent to the level of a manager with around 10-15 sub-ordinates to gain information about their perspectives on 21st century leadership and what their efforts to improve their leadership competences. Interviewed was also conducted with staff to gain information about how they perceived on their supervisors’ leadership abilities. To get a more objective result, interviews with two officials from two different Human Resources Departments were conducted, to dig deeper the information related to the programs of the government to improve the leadership competency of the civil servants. The research proved that there are still civil servants in governmental organizations who have not had the leadership competencies. They even haven’t understood the components should be possessed by a leader namely intellectual competencies, managerial competencies and emotional competencies. Therefore efforts such as training and development should be carried out in order to create quality civil servants. For future research, the researcher recommends to dig deeper the issues on the leadership training program to prepare the quality civil servants with different approaches to be adopted.
