Genetic Differentiation of the Blue Swimming Crab Portunus pelagicus Along the Coastal Thai Waters Revealed by SSCP Analysis of Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I

The basic information on genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the construction of appropriate management schemes leading to sustainable fisheries of the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus). Here, genetic heterogeneity of P. pelagicus (N=174) was examined by single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (PpCOI270). Seven SSCP genotypes were found across all investigated samples. The average genetic distance between pairs of geographic samples was 0.0014-0.7247. Significant geographic heterogeneity (P<0.05) and restricted levels of female gene flow between paired samples (0.03-1.60 individuals per generation) were observed except between Chanthaburi - Prachuap Kriri Khan and Ranong - Krabi (P>0.05; 6.54 and 16.17 individuals per generation) located in the same coastal regions. Therefore, the gene pool of P. pelagicus in Thai waters was genetically differentiated to different stocks even though it is biologically regarded as a potential dispersal species. Five geographic samples of P. pelagicus in Thai waters could be differentiated to three genetic stocks; Chanthaburi and Suratthani (stock A), Prachuap Khiri Khan (stock B) and Ranong and Krabi (stock C).
Randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy and safety of a single dose of 100 and 200 mg of mifepristone for cervical ripening in term pregnancies

Mifepristone is a 19-nor steroid with high affinity for the progesterone receptor to which it strongly binds and inhibits its activity at the cellular level with a powerful antiprogestin, anti-glucocorticoid and weak antiandrogenic effects. It has been used as an abortifacient in high doses of 600 mg and in Cushing's syndrome at 200 mg/day. At present it has been proposed for other pathologies such as fibroids and endometriosis in long-term low doses and due to its effects on uterine contractility and the maturation of the cervix without apparent serious adverse effects on the mother and fetus, it has been considered as a good option for cervical ripening and induction of labor in term pregnancies.
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for pH value in the meat of Berkshire pigs

Abstract The purpose of this study is to estimate the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effect for pH values affecting Berkshire meat quality. A total of 39,603 SNPs from 1,978 heads after quality control and 882 pH values were used estimate SNP effect by single step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) method. The average physical distance between adjacent SNP pairs was 61.7kbp and the number and proportion of SNPs whose minor allele frequency was below 10% were 9,573 and 24.2%, respectively. The average of observed heterozygosity and polymorphic information content was 0.32 ± 0.16 and 0.26 ± 0.11, respectively and the estimate for average linkage disequilibrium was 0.40. The heritability of pH45m and pH24h were 0.10 and 0.15 respectively. SNPs with an absolute value more than 4 standard deviations from the mean were selected as threshold markers, among the selected SNPs, protein-coding genes of pH45m and pH24h were detected in 6 and 4 SNPs, respectively. The distribution of coding genes were detected at pH45m and were detected at pH24h.
TRDF INFLUENCE OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND RESILIENCE ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN AGUATA L.G.A.,

Academic achievement is the reason behind the enrollment of students in school. This study determined the influence of academic self-efficacy and resilience on academic achievement among secondary school students in Aguata LGA. The study was guided by five research questions and five null hypotheses. The study adopted an expo-facto research design. The population comprised of 1049 SS 2 students in 21 public secondary schools in Aguata LGA. A sample of 310 SS 2 students was randomly drawn from the 21 public secondary schools through multi-stage random sampling procedure. The instruments used for data collection were two, namely: Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (ASEQ), and Academic Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ). The validity of both instruments was determined by three experts. The reliability of the instruments was determined using Cronbach Alpha method and alpha coefficients of 0.72 were obtained for ASEQ, 0.74 for and 0.70 for ARQ. Academic achievement was measured using results in English and Mathematics of 2017/2018 session of the SS2 students in the sampled schools. Data collected were analyzed using the mean and standard deviation for answering research questions and t-test for testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study revealed that both academic selfefficacy and academic resilience have a significant influence on academic achievement. It also showed that gender has no significant influence on academic achievement but has a significant influence on both academic selfefficacy and resilience among the students. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that teachers should encourage participatory learning and individualized attention among students and also provide necessary feedback, motivation and inclusiveness to foster academic selfefficacy and resilience and academic achievement among the students.

The Effect of Economic Policy Uncertainty on US stock returns: a cross- sectional analysis

After a decade of unprecedented economic growth and relative calmness, the world has faced a new crisis. The recent COVID-19 crisis has induced a massive spike in Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU). This paper investigates the relationship between EPU and the cross-section of US stock returns. The main question that this paper tries to answer is whether EPU is priced in the cross-section of US stock returns. Furthermore, this paper also tries to get an understanding of how EPU behaves over presidential cycles and across different industry sectors. My analyses show no evidence of the presence of an EPU risk factor in the US market over a recent and relatively long period from 1987 to 2019. The excess returns show a U-shaped pattern across decile portfolios formed on EPU. My results also show no evidence of a statistical difference in returns across presidential cycles or industry sectors. Potential explanations for not finding the associated risk premium of EPU are Market efficiency, a U-shaped pattern of volatility for imprecise signals and the difficulty of predicting betas
Normal Cumulative Distribution Function and Dispersion Entropy Based EMG Classification

Electromyography (EMG) is used to measure muscle activity. EMG signals are widely used in many biomedical practices such as motion recognition, prosthetic control, physical rehabilitation, and human-computer interfaces. The effective use of EMG in such practices depends on distinctive feature extraction. In this study, Dispersion Entropy (DisEn) and Normal Cumulative Distribution Function (NCDF) methods are used for feature extraction from EMG signals. The suggested method was tested with a data set containing immersion of six different objects. In the experimental studies, the proposed method distinguished the movements with an accuracy performance of 98%. When compared to other methods using the same data set, the suggested method has about 1.2% better performance.
WHAT EXPLAINS STUDENTS’ INTENTIONS TO PURSUE PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AS A CAREER?

Public accountants play crucial roles in creating trustworthy information for economic development. Ironically, many parts of the world, including Indonesia, experience a shortage of Public Accountants despite the abundant number of accounting students. This study, built on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, aims to examine factors that explain students’ intentions to pursue public accountants as a career. To answer the question, this study uses questionnaires distributed to 115 accounting students from across Indonesia participating in CPA Days 2019. Utilising Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique to analyse their responses, this study has shown that students’ intentions are significantly affected by their attitude towards job-related factors. These factors involve their interests in the professions, time flexibility, learning opportunity, and dynamic environment provided by the jobs. On the contrary, their attitude toward public accountants’ social prestige, earnings potential, influence of others (subjective norm), as well as difficulties factors (perceived behavioural control) are not proven to be significant factors. This finding is not shocking, since it suits Generation Z behaviour in selecting their job. Therefore, to increase students’ interest to become public accountants, the professional body and regulator should promote the attributes of the professions matching to the Generation Z career aspirations.
Prevalence and risk factors of uncontrolled hypertension in the urban population of Kerala

Background: Hypertension is leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and stroke, and leads to 12.8% of all deaths in the world. Uncontrolled hypertension doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease among the adults with hypertension. Globally 65% of the treated hypertensive have uncontrolled hypertension and in Kerala about three forth of the treated hypertensive have poor blood pressure control. The burden of uncontrolled hypertension is suggestive of preventable deaths and cardiovascular events. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1210 residents of Kochi Corporation of Kerala aged 18 years and above during the period of Sept. 2014 to Sept. 2016. Pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic factors such as age, sex, occupation, socio-economic status, education and marital status. Behavioural factors such smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity and dietary factors were collected. Data was analysed by using statistical package for social sciences software version 20.0. Results: The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension was 13.14% among the study population. Majority of the uncontrolled hypertensive were females (67.3%) and belonged to the age group 45 years and above (92.5%). The independent predictive factors of uncontrolled hypertension were additional salt intake (aOR 3.62; 95% CI 1.36-9.66), health education by a doctor (aOR 3.58; 95% CI 1.48-8.64), poor adherence to medication (aOR 4.45; 95% CI 1.23-16.03) and patients having no other co-morbidity (aOR 3.24; 95% CI 1.36-7.72). Conclusions: The burden of uncontrolled hypertension was high in this urban setting. A comprehensive measure involving doctors and healthcare workers have to be adopted to achieve optimum blood pressure among the hypertensive.
Effect of organic amendments on rice yield trend, phosphorus use efficiency, uptake, and apparent balance in soil under long-term rice-wheat rotation

ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted in a 22nd cycle of rice-wheat rotation established in the eastern India with a randomized block designed with various combinations of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients like farm yard manure (FYM), paddy straw (PS), and green manure in rice crop only. Application of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) and its combination with FYM, PS, and green manuring increased the grain yield of rice significantly. Rice yield declined only in control plots (−0.003 t ha−1 year−1), whereas positive yield trend was maintained in all the treatments. All organically amended plots showed a better uptake as well as use efficiencies of applied phosphorus (P) inputs over control. The apparent P balance showed positive value in control treatment over the years ranging from −4.8 to 24.8 kg ha−1 year−1. The positive yield trend of rice was maintained due to buildup of P from various organic inputs.
Gingival zenith evaluation in an Andean population from Ecuador

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the gingival zenith of the maxillary incisors, canines and premolars in an Andean population from Ecuador. Materials and methods: A total of 51 subjects (30 men and 21 women; mean age = 21 years) with healthy gingival tissue were recruited. Digital study models were obtained from maxillary casts and the features of the gingival zeniths including its position, gingival lines and level in the lateral incisors were analyzed. Results: The gingival zenith was distally displaced in all the maxillary central and lateral incisors and in 70.59%; 62.74% and 91.17% of the canines, first and second premolars, respectively. For the maxillary anterior teeth, the greater mean of displacement was verified in central incisors (0.89mm ±0.27 SD), followed by the lateral incisors (0.58mm ±0.22 SD) and the canines (0.48mm ±0.21 SD). The displacement levels in the central incisors were significantly higher in females compared to male participants (p=0.037). In addition, the ascending gingival line was the most common in the anterior dentition (right: 52.9%; left: 51%), whereas the descending one was the most prevalent in the premolar area (right: 58.8%; left: 70.6%). Lastly, the gingival zeniths of lateral incisors were more frequently located coronal to the gingival line (86.27%), to a mean distance of 0.82mm (0.1 – 3.1mm; ±0.46 SD) and without significant differences among the genders (p=0.520). Conclusion: The data obtained from the present study could be taken into consideration during dental esthetic treatments, especially for Andean patients.
Seaweeds’ nutraceutical and biomedical potential in cancer therapy: a concise review

Seaweeds have been a food source since ancient times (600 BC) and are still widely used in Asia, mainly in traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese folk medicine. Nowadays, seaweed compounds and extracts have been gaining interest from the biomedical and pharmaceutical market sectors. Seaweeds have been referenced as feasible solutions in finding new potential compounds and therapies in prevention, control, and reduction of cancer development due to the multirole of some bioactive components (e.g, phenolic compounds and sulphated polysaccharides). Moreover, seaweeds are rich in important health-promoting molecules [such as poly and highly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs and HUFAs), essential amino acids, vitamins, and dietary fibers] and minerals (calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and fluoride). In this review, the potential therapeutic effects of seaweed in the prevention and treatment of cancer are approached, as well as nutraceutical properties of seaweed to promote cell homeostasis.

Comparative analysis of ascorbic acid content of three varieties of apple fruit sold in Lafia open markets, north central Nigeria

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin which helps to boost the immune system, fight against infectious diseas-es, aids iron absorption and formation of collagen in humans and other animals. The ascorbic acid content of three varieties of apples (Red Delicious, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples) sold in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria was investigated using the iodometric titration method for comparative reasons. The results obtained showed the concentrations of the ascorbic acid in all three varieties of the fruit to be not only different but statistically so. The concentration of the analytes in order of increasing magnitude is; Golden Delicious (22.83mg/100g), Granny Smith (29.26 mg/100g) and Red Delicious (38.63 mg/100g). Though the differences in the respective concentration of the fruits were statistically significant (p <0.05), these observed differences may not just be a function of the fruit variety alone but also on other possible reasons attributable to the impact of temperature, growing season, storage, shipping conditions and even post-harvest number of days as well as the maturity of the respective apple variety at the time of harvest prior to analysis. Comparatively, the analysis indicated that the three apple varieties are varied in ascorbic acid content but are all good sources vital for healthy living.
The Impact of Development Perspective of HRM and Lesson Learned System of Knowledge Management on Project Success

The impact of the development perspective of human resource management and lesson learned system of knowledge management on project success. The mediating role competency retention is examined by collecting the data from the regular employees of the telecommunication sector. A total of 380 questionnaires distributed, out of which 321 questionnaires were returned, and the study gained an actual response rate of 84.4%. Some surveys were excluded because of missing values using the list-wise deletion method, which includes a statistical analysis, and after that, 310 complete questionnaires were selected for further proceedings. The results confirmed that the development perspective of human resource management and lesson learned system of knowledge management has an insignificant positive relationship with project management competency retention and project success. There is no mediation of project management competency retention that has been proved between the development perspective of human resource management, and lesson learned system of knowledge management, and project success. A significant positive relationship has been shown between project management competency retention and project success. Finally, the results suggested that the organizations must retain competency to achieve project success.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCLAIM IN ELT ARTICLES TO PROPOSE THE WRITERS‟ ARGUMENTATION

The concept of disclaim has negative representation in linguistic study and language application. In fact, it cannot be avoided that communication in written paper could involve both positive and negative statement. The concept of this research was to identify the negative statement implementation in disclaim in three ELT articles that were published in journals. The instrument involves the concept of Interpersonal meaning in qualitative design. Researchers found that it was useful and necessary for writers to propose their argumentation to deny something in their ELT articles. Naturally, the writers‘ argumentation could be positive or negative. The disclaim implementations were needed by the writers to deny concept, value, negative stereotype, quality, academic identity, and scientific claim. The other interesting thing is that disclaim was also needed to propose the objective view point or argumentation. It was also found that the most appropriate technique of presenting the disclaim statement was a hedge to avoid strong disclaim. It was concluded that not all disclaim statements had negative purpose, effect, and the whole implementations. The context of use needs to be involved to understand it.
A Systematic Review on the Impact of Clinical Pharmacist Interventions in Patients with Mental Health Disorders

Introduction: Mental disorders are one of the most significant public health challenges and major cause of disability and overall global burden of diseases. They often receive multiple medications associated with their comorbid conditions and mental illness increasing the risk for drug related problems leading to increased risk of hospitalization, morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure. Aims/Objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist involvement in psychiatric settings in patients with mental disorders. Methodology: A literature search was undertaken using three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar) with full text by using the following search terms; ‘clinical pharmacist’ or ‘mental health pharmacist’, in combination with ‘psychiatry’, ‘psychiatric’ or ‘mental illness’ and ‘drug related problems’ or ‘interventions’. Studies published between January 2010 to December 2019 and references identified within the studies were included. Case studies and series were excluded. Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, out of which forteen studies were carried out in inpatient health care settings and one within an outpatient assertive community treatment (ACT) team. Of the total studies, nine studies were prospective while six were retrospective study design in nature. Only six studies utilized control or comparison groups with three comprised of randomized and one non-randomized, one pre-post study design and one ‘before-and-after’ study intervention measures corresponding to evidence level of II, III-2 and III-3 respectively. The outcome evaluation measures showed that four studies reported clinical outcome, three were economic outcomes and two studies reported both clinical and humanistic outcome. The remaining six studies focused on impact evaluation measures. Conclusion: Multiple studies highlighted the positive impact of various services provided by the clinical pharmacist in psychiatric settings with respect to different outcome measures. However, the quality and measured outcomes of most of these studies vary greatly suggesting a need for additional well –designed randomized controlled trials assessing the various outcomes in patients with psychiatric disorders.
OFF PUMP VERSUS ON PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY in ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE PATIENTS with IMPAIRED CONTRACTILITY and RENAL DYSFUNCTION ;ACOPARATIVE STUDY.

Background; Coronary artery bypass surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) carries the risk of renal impairment which cannot be attributed to a single factor. This study compared off-pump technique with on-pump technique on kidney function in ischemic heart disease patients. Aim of the work: the study aimed to compare off-pump with on-pump technique on kidney and heart functions in patients with renal impairment with no need for dialysis but with impaired Ejection fraction (E.F). Patients and methods: This prospective non-randomized study included 60 patients who presented with symptoms of ischemic heart disease Disease and subsequently underwent myocardial revascularization with preoperative serum creatinine levels between 1.6 to 2.5 mg/dl and E.F below 45%. Patients were as following: Group A patients (on-pump): included those who underwent surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. Group B patients (off-pump): included those who underwent off-pump surgery. Both groups were compared in terms of renal impairment markers and need for dialysis and early postoperative outcome. Results: Renal impairment that was managed by dialysis developed in 9 patients (30%) in the pump group and 2 patients (7.67%) in the off pump group. The data showed affection of kidney function in the pump group compared with the off-pump group. Conclusion: These findings say that off-pump coronary revascularization offers a better kidney function preservation and has an obviously decreased risk for kidney dysfunction in patients with renal impairment without dialysis when compared with coronary revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass. Keywords: Coronary artery bypass grafting; on-and off-pump coronary revascularization; renal insufficiency, requiring dialysis.
