The Effect of Zinc Lactate added Tablets on Volatile Sulfur-containing Compounds in the Oral Cavity

All participants, who met the inclusion criteria, had to score a level of VSC ≥75 ppb at the basal measurement. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the groups. The test tablet (0.7g) contained 0.255 mg of zinc lactate; the control tablet was identical but without the active agent. The OralChroma2 device was utilized to evaluate VSC. The levels were recorded at baseline, after sucking two tablets in succession and after 1 hour and 2 hours. Data were analyzed with SPSS and significance was set at α=0.05.
Examining the antecedents of sport teambrand equity: A dual-[50_TD$DIFF] identification perspective

Although the practice of building brand equity in the context of professional sport teams is popular, the formation of sport team brand equity in the sport marketing literature is still relatively unknownand incompletely understood. In this study, the authors propose a dualidentification model to examine the formation of sport team brand equity in an Asia-based professional team sport setting. Baseball fans (N =548) of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) in Taiwan participated in the self-administered survey. A [52_TD$DIFF]Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model analysis revealed that marketplace characteristics (including group experience, salient experience, team history, and fan rituals) and brandidentified-related factors (including self-congruity and team brand prestige) were significantly related to identification with sport team and identification with sport team brand, respectively. In turn, both identification with sport team and identification with sport team brand were significant predictors of sport team brand equity. These findings highlight the importance of studying a dual-identification model in order to understand how sport team brand equity forms and suggest implications for sport team managers. © 2017 Sport Management Association of Australia and New Zealand.

FLM 25(3) -REDO

Technologists and educators interested in the ramifications of technology for the teaching and learning of school subjects speculate about the degree to which shifts in technological media transform the content meant to be taught with these media and the cognitive difficulties one might anticipate students might meet as they try to learn that content. There is speculation about the degree to which new technologies will lead to replacement of current curricula with new content (Papert, 1996; Schwartz, 1999; Noss, 2001). How does the use of a new curriculum that is based upon new epistemological assumptions change our capability to anticipate students’ difficulties and strengths? Are phenomena like the didactical cut (Filloy and Rojano 1989), cognitive gaps or discontinuities (Herscovics and Linchevski, 1994; Tall, 2002; Arzarello, 2003) or epistemological obstacles (Brousseau, 1997) approach-independent? Or are these phenomena related to the instruction and to the cognitive tools learners have?

Discipline Differences in Faculty Perceptions of Teaching Readiness

Given that teaching is a core expectation of new faculty, it would be reasonable to assume that possession of a doctoral degree suggest that one should be proficient in college teaching. However, the literature indicates that doctoral programs in the United States are failing to adequately prepare doctoral students for teaching in collegiate settings. Research on doctoral student experiences suggests that doctoral programs are adequately preparing doctoral students for their research function, but concerns emerge around preparation for college teaching. The study fills a gap in the literature by examining new faculty perceptions of their doctoral level teaching-related preparation by taking a cross disciplinary approach spanning eight disciplines. The omnibus question this study sought to address is whether or not there are discipline differences in new faculty perceptions of their doctoral level preparation for college teaching. The study employed a quantitative approach in collecting data using a survey design. Findings revealed significant discipline differences in overall perceptions of doctoral level teaching preparation. Implications for doctoral level training and recommendations for further research are presented.
A glimpse behind a closed door: The investment value of buy-side research and its effect on fund trades and performance

We examine proprietary research produced by buy-side analysts working for a large fund management company. Their primary research output is an estimate of the expected excess return for each stock they cover (buy-side alpha). We find that, for up to one quarter, buy-side alphas and changes in buy-side alphas consistently signal investment value. Moreover, buy-side alpha changes have greater investment value than changes in consensus sell-side recommendations. Portfolio managers working for the company make trades that are consistent with changes in buyside alphas. Moreover, when the managers trade a stock that is not covered by a buy-side analyst, their trades are consistent with changes in buy-side alpha estimates for other stocks in the same industry. Trades are more sensitive to buy-side alphas and less sensitive to changes in consensus sell-side recommendations as the fraction of the fund’s holdings covered by buy-side analysts rises. Finally, fund performance improves with reliance on buy-side research. School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson TX 75080. We alone are responsible for all errors.

Genetic diversity among tall fescue ecotypes using agro-morphological traits, nutritional values and AFLP molecular markers

This study was carried out to compare agro-morphological traits and nutritive value of 25 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) ecotypes grown in Tehran, Iran. The experiments were carried out in a split plot design during 2016-2018 growing seasons. The results showed that there was a significant genetic variation in existing germplasm. The highest heritability was related to dry forage yield and collar diameter (88%). The low heritability levels of forage quality related traits indicated that environmental effects play a greater role in controlling this trait. The mean comparison showed that Isfahan ecotype 11 had the highest number of fertile shoots, dry forage yield and diameter of collar while ecotypes of Shahrood ecotype 9 had the highest percentage of dry mater and Dauphine genotype with 16.05% had the highest protein percentage. The number of fertile shoots (NFS) had a positive and significant correlation with dry forage yield (DFY) and plant height (PH). DFY was positively correlated with NDF (0.71) and negatively correlated with CP (-0.62). In AFLP analysis out of the 463 scored bands, 339 (68%) were polymorphic. PIC values ranged from 0.34 (EcoACA-MseCTA) to 0.10 (EcoAGC-MseCAC). The results showed that genetic distances between ecotypes based on agro-morphologic characters and nutritional values were correlated based on AFLP (r=0.41, P=0.05) results. Based on cluster analysis all genotypes were classified into 4 genotypic groups. Considerable genetic variation and high heritability estimates indicate that direct selection for increasing forage yield could be promising. However, breeding nutritional values of forage quality might be more difficult due to environmental effects.
Does Enterprise Architecture Support the Digital Transformation Endeavors? Questioning the Old Concepts in light of New Findings

Digital transformation commonly refers to a disruptive process that changes significally the way organizations evolve, compete, interact and create value. Therefore, it is critical for companies to hadle with the business potential of innovative digital capabilities, to update their operational and decision making processes and to develop new strategic business models. In this complex endeavor, the evolution of firm’s information system is an important facet that brings together technology, organization and human actors. Enterprise Architecture (EA) methods and frameworks are proposed as essential techniques to handle such evolutions. However, the complex and disruptive nature of the underlying transformations raise multiple questions concerning the adequacy of EA for digital transformation projects. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the extent to which existing EA approaches support such projects. It presents an analysis of interviews with both IT and business projects managers from five different companies. We asked about concrete projects, both about the project goals and the EA methods used, but also about the difficulties and challenges they face in their daily work when using EA frameworks. The analysis show that although existing EA frameworks are essential tools to support and drive digital transformation projects, some important contextual and organizational characteristics are missing. These characteristics are discussed and a research agenda is suggested to fill this gap.
Medical Waste Generation in Hospitals and Associated Factors in Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria

The study was conducted to determine the quantities of waste generated in selected hospitals in Ibadan Metropolis Nigeria and examine the factors that influenced the choice of methods and facilities used in managing waste generated. Eight hospitals were selected through systematic random sampling procedure using a sample size of 20% out of 21 public hospitals and 10% out of 42 private hospitals that rendered tertiary or secondary health-care services representing four public and private hospitals respectively. The results from the study revealed that public hospitals generated waste between 0.37 and 1.25 Kg/head/day while private hospitals generated between 0.12 and 0.28 Kg/head/day. It was established that infectious waste represented the highest rate of waste generation with 32.43% in Adeoyo; 28.57% in Jericho; 35.71% in Ring Road; 32.14% in Oni; 30.00% in Alaafia; 20.00% in Molly, 31.58% in Gold Cross and 38.89% in St. Lucia Hospitals The study showed that financial capability was the most important factor that influenced public hospitals with relative important index value of 4.05 in the choice of facilities and methods used to manage waste generated. Other factors in order of importance were waste characteristics (3.97) and type of hospital (3.87). In private hospitals, the most important factor was financial capability (3.76) and other factors in order of importance were technical know-how of the manpower (3.52) and waste characteristics (3.41). The study suggests that there is need to develop better medical waste management policies.
An immunological study of bronchial asthma with special reference to Interleukin-4, Interferon-γ and Immunoglobulin E

Asthma is a disorder defined by its clinical, physiological, and pathological characteristics. The predominant feature of the clinical history is episodic shortness of breath, particularly at night, often accompanied by cough. The main physiological feature of asthma is episodic airway obstruction characterized by expiratory airflow limitation. The dominant pathological feature is airway inflammation, sometimes associated with airway structural changes. This immunological study on bronchial asthma was conducted at Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in the year 2010. Based on clinical history one group of 70 cases with history of asthma and other group of 36 controls with no history of asthma were made. The mean serum level of IL-4, IgE, and AEC was observed significantly higher in cases as compared to controls whereas; mean IFN-γ as well as FEV1 were observed significantly lower in cases as compared to controls. The cut-off values at appropriate sensitivity and specificity using ROC curve for IL-4, IFN-γ, IgE, AEC and FEV1 were found as 7.25, 0.35, 225, 345 and 79.50 respectively. The imbalance in the serum levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ is predicted to drive the asthma pathogenesis while reducing IgE levels may now be considered as a treatment strategy.
Bone Remodelling in a Conservative Femoral Component for Hip Replacement Surgery

This study investigated a conservative femoral component for hip replacement surgery. Re-surfacing implants with two hydroxyapatite-coated pins were inserted into the right femoral necks of eight adult goats for one year. Radiographic analysis revealed bone loss directly beneath the prosthetic cup with increased amounts of bone at the distal end of the pins. Microscopic analysis revealed localised areas of bone formation adjacent to the implant. Oxytetracycline bone markers demonstrated significantly decreased bone formation rates (p<0.05) in bone adjacent to the implant in the operated compared to the control hips. Image analysis results demonstrated an average bone attachment of 30.94% to the implant surface. Attachment varied regionally, with greatest bone attachment at the end of the pins (78.99%) contributing 22% of total bone attachment to the implant. Least bone attachment (13.82%) was measured beneath the prosthetic cup and adjacent to the medial aspect of the pin. This contributed 4% of total bone attachment. Image analysis results demonstrated that in four of five comparable regions of operated and control hips, bone area was greater in control hips. Values were significant in three regions adjacent to the implant (p=0.002, p=0.008, p<0.05). Results revealed no significant correlation between bone attachment to the implant pins and bone area beneath the prosthetic cup. However, these findings do suggest that this conservative design led to stress shielding resulting in unfavourable bone remodelling despite the osteoconductive hydroxyapatite coating.
Anti-Diabetic potential of Girardinia heterophylla in alloxan induced rat model

Girardinia heterophylla, commonly known as ‘DansKandali’, is found in temperate and sub-tropical region of the Himalayas. The species of Girardinia heterophylla growing extensively as an underutilized biomass in the fore st areas situated in Mussoorie hills of Dehradun district of Uttarakhand state. The leaves of this plant are boiled and cook ed for vegetables. The whole plant is also used as cattle fodder to improve milk production. The stem portion of the pl ant yields the valuable fiber, which has been traditionally us ed by the tribal for making rope based products used for pack ing grains and transportation purpose. After extracting the fi ber from the stem, residue of the bark portion is used as fuel w ood. Traditionally, bark powder is also used as a bandag e material for faster healing of wounds and setting of broken bo es[1].
Gender differences in promotion: A duration analysis of academic economists in Sweden

We located 1,041 doctoral graduates for the purpose of examining the determinants of gender differences in labour market outcomes. By compiling longitudinal data from CVs, we documented the careers of 572 academic economists in Sweden from graduation through the academic career ladder between 1990 and 2016. Duration analysis is used to estimate gender differences in the likelihood of promotion to associate and full professor. We find evidence of a gender promotion gap, accounted for in partial by publication differentials between men and women. An exploratory analysis shows that there has been a convergence in the publication differentials and that the promotion gap has narrowed— or even closed—for the young generation of academic economists. The results do not show any signs of discrimination or gender differences in the credit allocation of coauthored papers. By investigating co-authorship patterns closer, we do not find any gender differences in the propensity to solo-author or co-author with senior researchers, but that the female propensity to co-author with female colleagues is higher than the male. Finally, we have gathered a sub-sample of 359 researchers through a survey on parental factors. The evidence shows a negative correlation between children and the likelihood of promotion for both men and women, which appears to be related to having young children rather than parental leave.
Evaluation of a male circumcision communication strategy for HIV prevention in Botswana

The purpose of this paper is to share communities’ response to an evaluation of a short-term communication strategy for the prevention of HIV in seven health districts of Botswana. Data were obtained from thirty six focus groups from urban and rural settings of Botswana. Ethical clearance was obtained from Ministry of Health and from participants. Data were analysed using content analysis for themes and categories. The results of the study indicate that communities’ response to the communication strategy was generally positive. Communication strategies that participants were exposed to included health education in health facilities, radio, television, billboards, road shows, traditional community public gatherings, posters, newspapers, and workshops. The most preferred were face-to-face strategies such as health facility talks, workshops, road shows and public meetings which provide opportunity for on-spot clarification. The findings of the study underscore the sensitivity of male circumcision and the need for health care providers to consider the ethical implications of their approach to different sectors of the community. With due acknowledgement of the study’s limitations, the findings can guide health care providers in providing information about circumcision, in counseling those who are considering circumcision and those who are not eligible for treatment, and in dispelling misconceptions surrounding male circumcision.
Progesterone and Breast Cancer

Progesterone is an ovarian steroid hormone that is essential for normal breast development during puberty and in preparation for lactation and breastfeeding. The actions of progesterone are primarily mediated by its high-affinity receptors, which include the classical progesterone receptor (PR)-A and -B isoforms, located in diverse tissues, including the brain, where progesterone controls reproductive behavior, and the breast and reproductive organs. Progestins are frequently prescribed for contraception or during postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, in which progestins are combined with estrogen as a means to block estrogen-induced endometrial growth. The role of estrogen as a potent breast mitogen is undisputed, and inhibitors of the estrogen receptor and estrogen-producing enzymes (aromatases) are effective first-line cancer therapies. However, PR action in breast cancer is grossly understudied and remains controversial. Herein, we review existing evidence and discuss the challenges to defining a role for progesterone in breast cancer.
PR ] 2 7 N ov 2 01 9 Applications of mesoscopic CLTs in Random Matrix Theory

We present some applications of central limit theorems on mesoscopic scales for random matrices. When combined with the recent theory of “homogenization” for Dyson Brownian Motion, this yields the universality of quantities which depend on the behavior of single eigenvalues of Wigner matrices and β-ensembles. Among the results we obtain are the Gaussian fluctuations of single eigenvalues for Wigner matrices (without an assumption of 4 matching moments) and classical β-ensembles (β = 1, 2, 4), Gaussian fluctuations of the eigenvalue counting function, and an asymptotic expansion up to order o(N) for the expected value of eigenvalues in the bulk of the spectrum. The latter result solves a conjecture of Tao and Vu.
