Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intention Empirical Study of Student Entrepreneurs

This study aims to determine the effect of entrepreneurial creativity and self-efficacy on student entrepreneurial Intention. This study uses a quantitative research approach to the type of associational research. The population in this study was 360 students of Universitas Negeri Makassar who already had a business in 2019 and sample of 144 students. The determination of the sample uses random sampling and proportional techniques. Data collection techniques was carried out using questionnaire techniques. Data analysis techniques were used using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed that entrepreneurial creativity and self-efficacy both partially and simultaneously had an influence on student entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, it is recommended that higher education curriculum be oriented towards entrepreneurship to increase students' creativity and self-efficacy so that they have the ability to create jobs rather than find work.
Extraction of direct respiratory influences form the tachogram using multiscale principal component analysis

Heart rate variability (HRV) studies are widely used to assess the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Due to respiratory influences in the tachogram, the interpretation of HRV measures is questioned. This paper addresses this issue by estimating the respiratory component from the tachogram using multiscale principal component analysis (MSPCA), a technique that combines wavelet analysis with principal component analysis. Subsequently, the extracted respiratory component is subtracted from the tachogram in order to obtain a tachogram without respiratory influences. The results show that initial significant correlations and coherences between the tachogram and respiration are no longer present after the application of the proposed method, demonstrating that the direct, linear influence of respiration is reduced.
Exploring Products’ Tetrad-Value Theory

It is well known that people buy products to meet their multiple needs and desires based on the value they attach to such products (goods, services, ideas, information, experiences). The tetrad-value theory includes economic, social, ecological and psychological values. Based on this theory, we developed a questionnaire to assess the perception of value in relation to 20 main groups of products. We used definitions of the four type of values, and we asked the participants from a convenience sample of 804 university students to tell us whether the product has that kind of value, absolutely, a lot, a little, or doesn’t have it at all. The results showed that is not indifferent the type of products under value evaluation. There are products with more impact on social level and other on psychological level with statistically significant differences. This study confirms that people are mainly concerned with the product value for themselves, based essentially in their own interest, showing that social value is not their fundamental criteria. This research also indicates that social products appear to be of greater value, whatever the type, in the participants' perception. Thus, scholars’ generalization about the way people assess product’s value, considering that the personal impact is a social issue, should be rethought at the light of tetrad-value theory.
ELDERLY PEOPLE’S KNOWLEDGE ON PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION: AN OVERVIEW

Hypertension is still the most concerning non-communicable disease in Indonesia as its mortality and morbidity rates are still on its rise. Prevention of hypertension becomes one of the primary programs within Puskesmas, developed through numerous researches. The aim of this research was to learn on the overview of elderly perople’s knowledge on prevention and treatment of hypertension. A descriptive analytic study was applied with cross-sectional study design. Also, the use of consecutive sampling within this study resulted to the chosen 448 respondents. This study was conducted on the work area of Puskesmas Cilincing sub-district, North Jakarta, Indonesia. The results showed that the proportion of elderly people who had poor knowledge towards prevention and treatment of hypertension were 69.6%. Italso showed significant relationship between hypertension prevention and treatment knowledge and educational background of elderly people with pvalue 0.019. Therefore, this research suggests to Puskesmas to intensify the health promotion and prevention, specifically on hypertension in the elderly.
Randomness and recommendations – exploring the web platform of the artist Ivar Arosenius and other digital collections of art

This article concerns efforts to increase the accessibility of art through digital collections on the web. Features for display and comparison used by the platform of the Swedish artist Ivar Arosenius and by web projects such as Europeana and Google Art & Culture will be discussed. These features include random display, recommendations and machine learning of visual similarities. Key questions are: What are the general implications of these features for the art history canon? What are the relations between the digital collections on the web and the physical museum? There is a risk that recommendations based on machine learning will come to influence the way we perceive similarity. If the canon is to be challenged, a closer cooperation between the digital collections and the physical exhibitions will be needed.
Serum uric acid level in Bangladeshi adults with essential hypertension

Background: The association of hyperuricemia with various cardiovascular risk factors has often led to the debate of whether hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for essential hypertension (HTN). The current study was conducted to see the relationship between serum uric acid and essential HTN in Bangladeshi adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, conducted in a tertiary hospital of Bangladesh, 155 patients with essential hypertension (newly detected or on treatment) aged ≥18 years and 100 age-sex matched normotensive subjects were investigated. Serum uric acid, plasma glucose, serum creatinine, and lipid profile were measured in all in fasting samples. Results: The frequency of hyperuricemia was higher in the hypertensive group in comparison to the normotensive control group (29.7% vs. 6.0%, p <0.001). Serum uric acid level was higher in the hypertensive subjects than the controls (6.10±0.88 vs. 5.38±0.54 mg/dL, mean±SD, p <0.001). In the hypertensive group, subjects with stage II HTN had higher serum uric acid than those with stage I HTN (6.46±0.83 vs. 5.72±0.78 mg/dL, mean±SD, p <0.001). In the hypertensive group, uric acid level showed significant positive correlations with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure though in the control group uric acid showed such correlation with systolic BP only. Conclusion: Patients with essential hypertension had higher serum uric acid compared to normotensive controls; uric acid level showed positive correlations with systolic and diastolic BP in the hypertensive subjects.
Effect of integrated nutrient management and in situ moisture conservation studies in Kharif sorghum.

Sorghum is one of the major crops of semi-arid tropic as well as in several parts of the world. In Maharashtra it is predominant crop occupying 60% of the total area and productivity in the country. However yield is low i.e. 500 kg ha. Constraints for low productivity are identified as lack of improved high yielding cultivars, delayed sowing, low fertilizers use and improper adoption of management techniques. The cultivation of sorghum is mostly confined to vertisols of Maharashtra and Karnataka which are poor in nitrogen. Therefore present objectives of this study was to know the effect of integrated nutrient management and moisture conservation techniques. The large scale production through the application of chemical fertilizer is the base of green revolution. But applications of higher quality of fertilizer without considering the crop requirement adversely affect the microbial population and soil health (Das et al., 1997). About 27 per cent of India’s population and 20 per cent of world population consume this millet as their principal food (Bhalerao, 1999).
Different histochemical observations on the kidney of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris)

The Guinea fowl kidney was histologically observed after different components including capsule, cortex, medulla and different parts of uriniferous tubules. The mucopolysaccharide enzymatic activity in the kidney was revealed by PAS-AB (Periodic Acid-Schiff- Alcian blue) method. The PAS positive activity was witnessed at mesangial cells of renal corpuscle and basement membrane of the distal convoluted tubule while the Alcian blue reaction was positive in most of the components while the cortical and medullary collecting tubule showed intensively positive reaction. The acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase methods were also performed. The acid phosphatase has shown its intensified activity in parietal & visceral layer of renal corpuscle and lumen & basement membrane of proximal convoluted tubule whereas, the alkaline phosphatase was showing the moderate activity in all components of the kidney. The Intense activity of succinic dehydrogenase was observed in the proximal & distal convoluted tubule and the collecting tubule except the renal corpuscle which showed a weak activity.
Effect of Chemical Desuckering on Growth, Yield and Quality of Bidi Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Varieties

The present investigation was carried out with nine treatment combinations of three bidi tobacco varieties (GT 5, ABT10 and GABT11) and three suckericide treatments (hand desuckering, pendimethalin @ 0.45% + 2% urea and fatty alcohol @ 6% + 2% urea). The findings of present investigation indicated that growth parameters viz., Leaf breadth, leaf area per plant, dry weight per unit leaf area, dry weight of leaves and stem were recorded maximum by GABT 11 at maturity. Suckericide treatment significantly improved growth parameters as compared to hand desuckering at maturity. Pendimethalin @ 0.45%+ urea 2% significantly controlled the axillary and ground suckers and gave 13.7 per cent higher cured leaf yield as compared to hand desuckering and remained at par with fatty alcohol @ 6% + urea 2%.

Urine analysis is one of the most commonly performed tests in clinical laboratories. Urine sediment analysis determines the presence and quantity of various urine particles, such as red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), epithelial cells (EPI), bacteria, and fungus, among others [1]. This is helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney and urinary system diseases [2] and provides clinicians with essential information on renal diseases [3, 4]. Although the manual standardized microscopic sediment test has been acknowledged as a reference method [5, 6], it is time consuming, labor intensive, and shows poor reproducibility due to IRIS Iq200, UF-1000i, Cobas u701 자동요침사분석장비의 비교 평가 Comparison of IRIS Iq200, UF-1000i, and Cobas u701 Module Automated Urine Sediment Analyzers
Attractiveness in the eyes: A possibility of positive loop between transient pupil constriction and facial attraction

Contrary to the long-held belief of a close linkage between pupil dilation and attractiveness, we found an early and transient pupil constriction response when participants viewed an attractive face (and the effect of luminance/contrast is controlled). While human participants were making an attractiveness judgment on faces, their pupil constricted more for the more attractive (as-to-be-rated) faces. Further experiments showed that the effect of pupil constriction to attractiveness judgment extended to intrinsically aesthetic visual objects such as natural scene images (as well as faces) but not to line-drawing geometric figures. When participants were asked to judge the roundness of faces, pupil constriction still correlated with their attractiveness but not the roundness rating score, indicating the automaticity of the pupil constriction to attractiveness. When pupillary responses were manipulated implicitly by relative background luminance changes (from the pre-stimulus screen), the facial attractiveness ratings were in accordance with the amount of pupil constriction, which could not be explained solely by simultaneous or sequential luminance contrast. The overall results suggest that pupil constriction not only reflects but, as a part of self-monitoring and attribution mechanisms, also possibly contributes facial attractiveness implicitly.
Efficacy of different drugs against tick infestation in goats reared under semi-intensive system

Study was conducted on a total of 90 goats for assessing the efficacy of different drugs against tick infestation in goats reared under semi-intensive system at Taluka Khipro, District Sanghar. Goats were divided into three groups viz. A, B and C. A group was treated with Trichlorfon, B with Cypermethrin and C was kept as control group. Four species of ticks were found to be commonly infesting the goats such as Hyalomma anatolicum, Amblyomma variegatum, Boophilus microplus, and Rhipicephalus anguineus. All tick-infested goats showed clinical signs of weakness, anemia, and anorexia. Further, efficacy of Trichlorfon and Cypermethrin was observed against the tick infestation by single and multiple applications. In a single application of the 1 treatment, the highest rate of efficacy was observed by Trichlorfon (85.6, 81.6 and 78.4%) followed by Cypermethrin (81.6, 77.6 and 68%), at 7, 14 and 21 days. While the control group remained positive and trend in the increase of tick infestation. While all treated goats had shown improvement in health by clinically and disappeared the symptom of the disease. It conclusion Hylomma species was most prevalent tick detected in goats reared under the semi-intensive system. Trichlorfon was found to be much effective drug against tick infestation compared Cypermethrin.
Causes of morbidity and mortality of bats in a wildlife recovery center in Portugal

Over the last decade, research on bats has been flourishing in many aspects of their biology. An increasing number of studies focussing on infectious agents in bats are being published, especially regarding zoonotic pathogens. However, there is only limited knowledge regarding the causes of death in these animals. In fact, when bat carcasses are found, or injured bats die in recovery centers, the post-mortem examination in this group of animals is not a routine procedure. The aim of this study is to report the main causes of morbidity and mortality in free ranging bats in Portugal using bats that were submitted to the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wild Animals of Gaia’s Biological Park. During the period of three months, 20 animals were subjected to post-mortem examination. The main cause of morbidity and mortality was trauma, with lesions in the upper limbs, such as fractures and lacerations of the wing membrane. Although only a limited number of animals was included, this work intends to alert to the importance of studies concerning the causes of death in bats.
Growth, yield and economics of irrigated finger millet as influenced by system of finger millet intensification (SFI) practices in north eastern zone of Tamil Nadu

Field experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2018 at Centre of Excellence in Millets, Athiyandal, Thiruvannamalai to assess the System of Finger millet Intensification (SFI) for north eastern zone of Tamil Nadu. Results revealed that growth parameters such as DMP, LAI and number of tillers were more under 22.5 x 10 cm spacing with two hand weeding’s at 15 and 30 DAT. While the yield attributes such as number of productive tillers, number of ear heads hill and number of fingers earhead were higher under 30 x 10 cm spacing with two hand weeding’s at 15 and 30 DAT. The maximum grain yield, straw yield, HI, gross return, net return was also recorded under 30 x 10 cm spacing with two hand weeding’s at 15 and 30 DAT. The highest B:C ratio was recorded under 30 x 10 cm with one hand weeding at 15 DAT + one mechanical weeding at 30 DAT.
From farm to fork: lipid oxidation in fish products. A review

Abstract Lipid oxidation is a very complex and important event threatening the quality of foods especially of those containing highly unsaturated fats. Fish are the main source of polyunsaturated fatty acids that, unfortunately, are highly susceptible to degradation process, such as oxidation. Fish supply chain generally involves many steps and each of them together with their interaction might play a central role in muscle quality maintenance. From this review emerged that antioxidants supplementation diet can play a central role to limit the detrimental effects of stress (pre-slaughter or at killing) and storage. In this sense, lycopene shows the best antioxidant activity during stressful conditions while α-tocopherol acts preferentially in long-term frozen storage. Stress just before or at slaughter can greatly threaten flesh quality both immediately and after storage by inducing numerous metabolic pathways, that often involve the production of very reactive molecular species, such as hydroperoxides. A common operation such as bleeding can significantly reduce both reactive molecules and haemoglobin (Hb), which is recognised as a great pro-oxidant. Temperature and duration are two critical points of storage phase which has to be considered even by consumers. Frozen storage at very low temperatures (−30 °C, −40 °C) confirms to be the best storage practise. Finally, cooking can compromise aromatic profile of cooking fillets. Thus, feeding antioxidant, reducing stress both during pre-slaughter practise and at killing, good storage practises, if associated with an appropriate cooking method (low temperature, short time) seems to be the clues for preserving the fragile lipid fraction from farm to fork.
System uncertainties estimation based adaptive robust backstepping control for DC DC buck converter

This paper proposed a novel adaptive robust backstepping control scheme for DC-DC buck converter subjected to external disturbance and system uncertainty. Uncertainty in the load resistance and the input voltage represent the big challenge in buck converter control. In this work, an adaptive estimator for matched and mismatched uncertainties based backstepping control is applied for DC-DC buck converter. The updating laws are determined based on the lyapunov theorem. Thus, the difference between the estimated parameters and actual parameters converges to zero. The proposed control method is compared with the conventional sliding mode control and integral sliding mode control. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller.
Taxonomic Evaluation of Hedera crebrescens: A Potentially Invasive Ivy in Central Europe

Although Hedera helix is the only native ivy distributed in Central Europe, other ivy species are cultivated in this region and have horticultural importance, including H. hibernica, H. colchica, and H. azorica. On the basis of morphological, cytological, and phenological studies, a newly identified diploid species of ivy, H. crebrescens Bényei-Himmer & Höhn, was recently described from Hungary. Due to its high reproductive capacity and vigorous growth, this species can be considered a potentially invasive plant that could readily supplant H. helix in its native habitats. To characterize the molecular taxonomic status of H. crebrescens, we conducted a molecular genetic analysis based on five chloroplast and one nuclear DNA regions. Our phylogenetic reconstruction supported the monophyly of Hedera, with a tree topology similar to that previously obtained based on phylogenetic cpDNA analyses. Mediterranean species of ivy were well separated from the remainder of the European species, as well as from Asian species. Hedera crebrescens represented a single independent haplotype within the Asian–European cluster, whereas H. helix proved to be polyphyletic. The detected species-specific haplotype and invariability among studied specimens obtained from different geographical locations, provide support for the taxonomical autonomy of H. crebrescens.
Trichodina truttae Mueller, 1937 (Ciliophora : Peritrichida) on Juvenile Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) : Pathogenicity and Host-Parasite Interactions

A transmission experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of Trichodina truttae infection on the growth and survival of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and the host's defense responses. The intensity of infection rose sharply to reach a peak of an average of 5, 730 (range 1, 770-12, 600) parasites per fish at week 3 post-infection, and then declined markedly to near zero by the end of the experiment (week 6). The parasite was site-specific to the skin of host fish and induced epidermal hyperplasia. Heavy infections caused intensive flashing among infected fish, which was accompanied by mass host mortalities with a cumulative loss of 56%. The growth and seawater adaptation of juveniles were, however, not significantly affected. In the course of infections, drastic changes occurred in the degree and histochemistry of the skin epidermal mucus secretion. The density of mucous cells containing acid mucopolysaccharides (alcian blue-positive, PAS-negative) decreased with increasing parasite intensity, while the parasite infections induced a marked increase of PAS-positive mucous cells, in turn, which may have caused a distinct reduction in parasite intensity. These results suggest that the increased production of PAS-positive mucous cells is an effective defense mechanism against trichodinid infections.
The response of zinc transporter gene expression of selected tissues in a pig model of subclinical zinc deficiency

This study compared the relative mRNA expression of all mammal zinc (Zn) transporter genes in selected tissues of weaned piglets challenged with short-term subclinical Zn deficiency (SZD). The dietary model involved restrictive feeding (450 g/animal*day−1) of a high-phytate diet (9 g/kg) supplemented with varying amounts of zinc from ZnSO4*7H2O ranging from deficient to sufficient supply levels (total diet Zn: 28.1, 33.6, 38.8, 42.7, 47.5, 58.2, 67.8, 88.0 mg Zn/kg). Total RNA preparations comprised jejunal and colonic mucosa as well as hepatic and nephric tissue. Statistical modelling involved broken-line regression (P ≤ 0.05). ZIP10 and ZIP12 mRNAs were not detected in any tissue and ZnT3 mRNA was only identified in the kidney. All other genes were expressed in all tissues but only a few gene expression patterns allowed a significant (P < 0.0001) fitting of broken-line regression models, indicating homeostatic regulation under the present experimental conditions. Interestingly, these genes could be subcategorized by showing significant turnarounds in their response patterns, either at ~40 or ~60 mg Zn/kg diet (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, the present study showed clear differences in Zn transporter gene expression in response to SZD compared to the present literature on clinical models. We recognized that certain Zn transporter genes were regulated under the present experimental conditions by two distinct homeostatic networks. For the best of our knowledge, this represents the first comprehensive screening of Zn transporter gene expression in a highly translational model to human physiology.
