Yield improvement of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) production using cotton seed cake with combination of wheat straw amended with rice bran cellulosic waste materials

In recent years agricultural and industrial waste bio-conversion into food has attracted the world attention but has received diminutive attention in Pakistan. Pleurotus ostreatus is a good source of protein, amino acid, vitamins and also contain less amount of fats cholesterol. The present study was conducted to check the yield production of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus by using different agriculture waste materials such as wheat straw and rice bran with cotton seed cake. Five treatments were prepared in different proportions to check the time span (number of days) for mycelium growth completion, formation of pinhead, total number of pinhead formed, formation of fruiting bodies and total number of mature fruiting bodies formation. Results described that highest number of days consumed for complete formation pinhead, total number of pinhead, fruiting bodies and total number of mature fruiting bodies were observed with T2 treatment (cotton seed cake 100%) and was lowest in T1 treatment (wheat straw 100%). Maximum yield production of oyster mushroom was observed T1 treatment 407 gm as compared to other treatments. The highest mycelium growth of oyster mushroom was recorded with treatment T5 (wheat straw 50% + cotton seed cake 25% + rice bran 25%) and the lowest was being with T2. It was concluded that cotton seed cake along wheat straw and rice bran gave maximum mycelium growth of oyster mushroom while wheat straw produced maximum yield of oyster mushroom. * Corresponding Author: Hafiz Muhammad Usman Aslam  2008ag2605@uaf.edu. pk International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print), 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 14, No. 2, p. 340-349, 2019
EMOTIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING TAIWANESE PARENTS' DECISION-MAKING REGARDING AUTISM GENETIC TESTING

Article History: Received 5, April, 2015 Received in revised form 12, April, 2015 Accepted 6, May, 2015 Published online 28, May, 2015 Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is one of the fastest growing disabilities in Taiwan. With the wider application and availability of the next generation sequencing, it is foreseeable that Taiwanese parents with ASD will get access to more reliable diagnostic tests for detecting the genetic component of their children’s ASD. It is imperative, therefore, to investigate factors that may influence Taiwanese parents’ decision-making in regard to ASD genetic testing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of attitudes and emotions on Taiwanese parents’ intention to allow their children with ASD to undergoing autism genetic testing. Using survey instrument, we recruited 444 Taiwanese parents (N = 444) of children with ASD. A two-step Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted to assess the influence of different kinds of attitudes and emotions on parents’ intention to allow their children to undergo autism genetic testing. Based on our findings, parents’ intention was negatively influenced by their fear and guilt while positively affected by their anxiety toward genetic testing. Moreover, parents with higher annual household income showed greater interest in testing. Parents’ favorable attitudes towards testing, however, did not show significant relationship with parents’ intention. Our findings provided support to the need of pre-test counseling and genetic education among the general public in Taiwan. To manage parents’ concerns resulting from fear, policymakers and legislators should consider enacting genetic discrimination laws in Taiwan to facilitate alleviating the fear of genetic testing for ASD and ensure proper use of ASD genetic services.
Knowledge Transfer in Service-Business Acquisitions

In the post-acquisition integration process, organizations need to transfer different types of knowledge from one organization to another in order to align their operational routines, practices and culture. Our aim is to identify the critical factors that relate to knowledge transfer in terms of the different knowledge types. We conducted a qualitative case study from an exploratory perspective. We first selected a case firm operating in the knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) field and then incorporated four different acquisition cases into the study. The results focus attention on the need to understand the “soft types” of critical factors in knowledge transfer, such as valuing employees, easing interpretation, identifying employee competences, building trust, creating a safe atmosphere, and diagnosing knowledge cultures in order to avoid information-management bias. It is necessary to identify the nature of the knowledge to be transferred to the acquired companies, and to align the communication patterns accordingly.
A study on lipoprotein(a) in health and type-2 diabetes mellitus

In NIDDM patients, as in nondiabetic individuals, atherosclerosis is associated with Lp(a), and Lp(a) is a risk factor for CVD in most studies of NIDDM patients. However, glycemic control has different effects on serum Lp(a). In NIDDM, tightened glycemic control does not affect serum Lp(a). Various function like Tissue Repair, Inhibition of fibrinolysis, Effect on Atherogenesis, Lp(a) particles are susceptible to oxidative modification and scavenger receptor uptake, leading to intracellular cholesterol accumulation and foam cell formation which contributes further to atherogenesis.
Current Progress in Molecular Hydrogen Medication: Protective and Therapeutic Uses of Hydrogen against Different Disease Scenarios

For centuries, molecular hydrogen (H2) was supposed to be inactive and useless in the cells of mammals. Scholars reversed this notion by representing that H2 reacts with extremely reactive oxygen species (ROS) like hydroxyl radical (•OH) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in cells. H2 has appeared as a uniquely therapeutic and preventive agent, with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties confirmed in surplus of experimental animal models and human studies. H2 can be administered by different approaches, comprising direct inhalation in the form of hydrogen gas, oral intake of hydrogen-rich water (HRW), and injection with hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) against the majority of disease conditions. Numerous antioxidant systems are restricted and unsuccessfully picked up by organelles such as mitochondria, but H2 has the capacity to efficiently enter plasma membranes and penetrate into subcellular organelles, like nucleus and mitochondria. The therapeutic/protective capability of H2 is developing in several human infections and in their experimental animal models, comprising ischemia-reperfusion diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, graft-versus-host disease, multiple organ dysfunction syndromes, to mention some. The medical view of H2 offers evidence-based progress for beneficial use and prospect investigation on H2 for the extensive health of the society. This paper reviews current progress in protective and therapeutic uses of H2 against different human and experimental animal disease models.
Hematological profile of people living with HIV infection in Government Dharmapuri Medical College, Dharmapuri

Introduction: The HIV epidemic is a convincing illustration of the balance between the power of science and the humanism of modern medicine. The epidemic is so serious that between 1981 and 2000, 21.8 million people had died of HIV/AIDS. Clinically significant hematologic abnormalities are common in HIV infection. These abnormalities may occur as a result of HIV infection itself, as sequelae of HIV related opportunistic infections or malignancies or as a consequence of therapies used for HIV infection and associated conditions. Aim of the Study: To analyzes the hematological profile of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA’s) and to identify the possible correlation between WHO clinical stage and hematological abnormalities. Materials and methods: All patients with HIV infection attending Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital, Dharmapuri during the study period were evaluated for the conditions which could alter the Hematological parameters and if found so, they were excluded from the study. Those included in the study were investigated for Hb% total count, differential count, ESR and platelet count. CD4 count done by flow cytometric analysis was obtained. Results: The mean total count was found to be 587+ 2210 cells / mm 2 out of the 100 patients 41 of them had leucopenia. In our study the differential count distribution showed neutropenia in 30 patients, lymphocytopenia in 30 patients and monocytopenia in 20 patients. The median CD-4 count was 89 cells/microliter. Almost all the patients enrolled in our study had CD4 count <200/microlitre with only a minor fraction having counts >200/microliter. All patients who had lymphocytopenia were having CD4 count<200/microliter. This establishes the relationship between lymphocytopenia and low CD4 counts. The mean platelet count was 1.56+ 0.35 lakh/mm 3 thrombocytopenia was found M. S. Shruthi, T. Elavarasan, R. D. Puvitha. Hematological profile of people living with HIV infection in Government Dharmapuri Medical College, Dharmapuri. IAIM, 2017; 4(7): 228-233. Page 229 in 40 patients. The mean value ESR was 24.63 + 10.92 mm /hr. Elevated ESR was found in 71%. ESR has not much of diagnostic value and therefore can be elevated in any chronic inflammation (or) infection. Hence, this finding may not be that significant. Conclusion: Majority of them were in stage III (55%) and had CD4 count <200/microliter (87%). Leucopenia was found in 41% of them. Neutropenia was detected in 29%. Thrombocytopenia was found in 40%. Anemia and elevated ESR detected in 79% and 71% respectively.
Auxin Hormon Production and Plant Growth Promotion by Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria of Groundnut Rhizosphere

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) rhizosphere was screened for Phosphate solubilization. Total fifty phosphate solubilizing bacteria were isolate. 32 bacterial isolates with zone diameter more than 5 mm were further selected for screening of their characteristic of auxin harmon production. Quantitative estimation for auxin was done by colorimetric method with 2 days interval for up to 10 days of incubation period. Thirteen isolates were found to show the production of auxin by salkowaski reagent. Among these thirteen organisms four were remarkable for their high level of auxin production. All auxin producers showed different optimum periods for auxin production. Strain GST 3 was the best producer of auxin with amount 8.02 μg/ml, at eighth day of incubation whereas strain GSD 2 was least in amount of auxin production. Strain GST 3, was also efficient for phosphate solubilization. Four efficient auxin harmon producers were checked for plant growth promotion by seed germination assay and pot experiment study. Bacterial isolate with high potential for phosphate solubilization and auxin production were found to show the enhanced seed germination and plant growth promotion for groundnut seeds, as compared with uninoculated control. All auxin producers were characterized phenotypically. Four efficient auxin producers: GSP 4, GSB 3, GST 3, and GSV 3 were further identified by 16s rRNA sequence analysis as Burkholderia kururiensis, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Enterobacter cloacae and Bacillus subtilis. The study suggested that, auxin producing bacteria as efficient biofertilizer inoculants to promote plant growth. Therefore, there is a need for these isolates for further study due to their potential to be developed as plant growth promoting rhizobacterial inoculants in the field application.
Musculoskeletal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis

Joint involvement in SSc affects 46-97% of patients with SSc [3]. Generalized inflammatory arthralgias with pain and stiffness are the usual presentation of articular involvement. All joints may be affected, mainly the fingers (in particular the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joints), wrists and ankles. Franck arthritis is less common. The onset of this latter may be acute or insidious, and oligoarticular or polyarticular in pattern [4].
ULTRASOUND GUIDED FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY (FNAC) IN DIAGNOSIS OF SPACE OCCUPYING LESIONS (SOL) OF LIVER

TITLE: Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosis of space occupying lesions (SOL) of liver. INTRODUCTION: Liver is an important organ for metabolism of body and is also a drainage site for many organs, therefore it becomes affected in many benign, malignant and inflammatory conditions and performing ultrasound guided FNA helps to diagnose cases with 90-95% accuracy and minimizing the requirement of biopsy. AIMS: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided FNA and to look for spectrum of diseases affecting liver. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study is performed on patients who came with lump abdomen and had SOL in liver on ultrasonography in SMS hospital, Jaipur. Ultrasonography guided FNAC was performed on 360 patients in one year period from January 2013 to December 2013. Majority of the patients were males and most of them were middle to elderly age group. Samples were adequate in 324 (90%) and inadequate in 36 (10%). Out of 360 patients 7 had benign lesions, rest all had malignant tumors. Of all the malignant tumors, metastatic tumors were commonest accounting for 68% cases, hepatocellular carcinoma accounted for 15% and the rest 17% were unclassified malignancies. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography guided FNAC is a simple, safe, cost effective and accurate diagnostic method for cytological diagnosis of hepatic lesions. It can be practiced in any centre where ultrasound facility and specialist pathologists are available. Cell blocks can be prepared from FNAC material which is of great help especially in cases who have unknown primaries and present with metastasis in liver.
A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON WATERMELON SEED

The seeds of watermelon are generally considered as agro its high nutritional value as well as therapeutic benefits. Cucurbitaceae species are potential sources of nutrients such as protein, minerals and lipids a Watermelon seeds are a good source of low albumin. Seeds are also rich in aspartic acid, glutamic acid and serine. Since watermelon seeds contain high well as functional ingredients during food formulations. It has already been found that watermelon seeds has positive impact on growth, cardioprotective effect, anti arthritic effect and as well as anti of watermelon seed extracts can increase sperm count. Watermelon seeds may indeed represent an appropriate tool for the t especially in those countries in which more classical therapeutic approach is not easily available for all. Watermelon seed oil and watermelon seed incorporated food products are alr used in many countries. Still there is an ample scope of research to expose unknown bioactive ingredients responsible for the positive health benefits of these seeds.

Intercultural Learning in the Speech-Language Pathology Degree: Global Online Classes Experiences Inside Laureate International Universities Network from a Moroccan Perspective

Internationally, universities routinely send students from arrange of disciplines a broad as part of their professional experience in intercultural context [1]. As this practice has evolved in recent years, the SpeechLanguage Pathology (SLP) graduate programs inside the Laureate network have learned much by shifting this perspective too n line classes. We believe such intercultural communication is an essential element that prepares students to work fluently across different cultural on text sand consequently become more likely to succeed in demanding contemporary work places. We also discuss in detail, on the one hand, that student learningandcompetencydevelopmentininterculturalonlinetrainingcansignificantly impact on perception so self and on professional identity in a positive and life-changing way. On the other hand, the development of such intercultural health programs will not only give students relevant information regarding culture, language, social and ethnicity but also include opportunities for group-based discussions regarding personal and professional goals.
