Transcriptome Analysis of a Jujube (Ziziphus Jujuba Mill.) Cultivar Response to Heat Stress

Background: Heat stress (HS) is a common stress and influences the growth and reproduction of plant species. We found and bred a putative heat-resistant jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) cultivar (JHR17) in previous study. Results: In the current study, we made the seedlings of ‘JHR17’ cultivar to be under HS (45°C) for 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, respectively, and the leaf samples (HR0, HR1, HR3, HR5 and HR7) were collected accordingly. Fifteen cDNA libraries from ‘JHR17’ leaves were built with a transcriptome assay. The RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and transcriptome comparisons were performed, and the results indicated that 1642, 4080, 5160 and 2119 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in HR1 vs. HR0, HR3 vs. HR0, HR5 vs. HR0 and HR7 vs. HR0, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses of the DEGs from these comparisons were implemented. Conclusion: It revealed that a series of biological processes, involved in stress response, photosynthesis and metabolism, were enriched successfully, suggesting that lowering or up-regulating these genes of processes might play important roles in response to HS. This study may contribute to understand the molecular mechanism of ‘JHR17’ cultivar response to HS, and be beneficial for developing jujube cultivars to improve heat resistance.
Velocity and Reactive Scalar Dissipation Spectra in Turbulent Premixed Flames

ABSTRACT Dissipation spectra of velocity and reactive scalars—temperature and fuel mass fraction—in turbulent premixed flames are studied using direct numerical simulation data of a temporally evolving lean hydrogen-air premixed planar jet (PTJ) flame and a statistically stationary planar lean methane-air (SP) flame. The equivalence ratio in both cases was 0.7, the pressure 1 atm while the unburned temperature was 700 K for the hydrogen-air PTJ case and 300 K for methane-air SP case, resulting in data sets with a density ratio of 3 and 5, respectively. The turbulent Reynolds numbers for the cases ranged from 200 to 428.4, the Damköhler number from 3.1 to 29.1, and the Karlovitz number from 0.1 to 4.5. The dissipation spectra collapse when normalized by the respective Favre-averaged dissipation rates. However, the normalized dissipation spectra in all the cases deviate noticeably from those predicted by classical scaling laws for constant-density turbulent flows and bear a clear influence of the chemical reactions on the dissipative range of the energy cascade.
Determinants of Second-Trimester Safe Termination of Pregnancy in Public Health Facilities of Amhara Region, Northwest Ethiopia: An Unmatched Case-Control Study

Background. Second-trimester medical abortion is the termination of pregnancy between 13 and 28 weeks of gestational age. Although the majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester, 10–15% of terminations of pregnancies have taken place in the second trimester globally. Objective. To identify the determinant factors of second-trimester safe termination of pregnancy in public health facilities of the Amhara region, northwest Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based unmatched retrospective case-control study conducted from 01/10/2019–30/02/2020. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 119 cases and 238 controls. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. A binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify determinant factors. The odds ratio with 95% CI was computed to assess the strength and significance of the association between dependent and independent variables. Result. Rural resident (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.9; 95% CI 1.07–3.25), irregular menses (AOR = 1.8; 1.06–3.13), had no known symptoms of pregnancy (AOR = 1.9; (95% CI 1.06–3.46)), not knowing the abortion law (AOR = 3.0; (95% CI 1.63–5.60)), low level of education (1st–8th grade) (AOR = 2.7; (95% CI 1.06–6.60), opposition against abortion care (AOR = 2.6; (1.22–5.42)), delayed referral (AOR = 10.1 (95% CI 4.02–29.18)), and not undertaking pregnancy test (AOR = 2.2; (95% CI (1.21–4.04)) were determinants of second-trimester safe termination of pregnancy. Conclusion. Women being rural residents, irregular menses, not undertaking pregnancy test, not knowing the abortion law, low-level educational status, delayed referral, no knowledge about signs and symptoms of pregnancy, and opposition of safe abortion were determinants of second-trimester safe termination. The Regional Health Bureau and Health Facilities should give emphasis to women living in rural areas, and they should increase awareness towards abortion law and sign and symptoms of pregnancy and encourage female education.
Contradictory Aspects of Job Searching in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Relationships between Perceived Socioeconomic Constraints, Work Volition, and the Meaning of Work

The COVID-19 pandemic is changing many aspects of our lives. The hiring and job searching situation is no exception. This study investigated somewhat contradictory aspects of self-determination and circumscription and compromise in the context of job searching and recruitment in South Korea’s COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this study aimed to examine the effects of variables that control work volition, and the ways in which work volition is related to perceived socioeconomic constraints and the meaning of work, in female college students looking for a job in South Korea. Furthermore, we explored the implications for job searching and corporate personnel management in the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, this study intended to contribute theoretically and practically to self-determination, and circumscription and compromise theory, and to suggest future research directions.
Motivation and morality to manage a class: perceptions of homeroom teachers in China’s Tianjin city

ABSTRACT This study examines homeroom teachers’ motivation and morality in their classroom-level leadership in China. Data are drawn from questionnaires completed by 137 junior middle school homeroom teachers from Tianjin city, and semi-structured interviews with 10 of them. The participating homeroom teachers saw themselves as having high levels of both motivation and teacher morality. And the variable – teacher with a master’s degree – have significant correlations with teachers’ perceptions of motivation. This study suggests a “morality-motivation-management” framework for understanding the interaction of motivation and morality in homeroom teachers’ classroom-level leadership in China.
Determinants and barriers of implementing lean manufacturing practices in MSMEs: a behavioural reasoning theory perspective

Abstract The implementation of lean manufacturing practices (LMPs) in large-scale enterprises is growing globally. However, its implementation in micro-, small- and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in developing countries is still slow. Despite the slow adoption, prior literature has mainly focussed on investigating the motives for the implementation of LMPs in MSMEs. There is an urgent need to investigate both reasons for (RF), i.e. determinants and reason against (RA), i.e. barriers in LMPs adoption. This study attempts to address this gap by utilizing behavioural reasoning theory (BRT) to present a behavioural reasoning perspective of MSME employees on the implementation of LMPs. We investigate the relationships between employee values (VALs), reasons (for and against), attitude (ATT) and behavioural intentions (INTs) towards LMPs implementation. Furthermore, we also analysed the moderating effect of the employee education level on LMPs implementation. The hypotheses are tested through a cross-sectional survey conducted on 299 Indian MSME employees. The analysis is performed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings suggest that the variable RF has a significant positive influence on both ATT and INTs. However, RA shows a significant association (negative) only with the ATT but not with the INTs for adopting LMPs. These results provide new insights to MSME managers, policymakers, governments and consultants for understanding the behaviour of MSME employees towards the adoption of LMPs in their enterprises.
IVF/ICSI outcomes in single-versus double-lumen oocyte retrieval needles in patients with unexplained infertility

Aim: To compare IVF-ICSI outcomes in single-versus-double lumen oocyte retrieval needles in patients diagnosed with unexplained infertility Materials and Methods: A total of 188 patients aged 23-33 years who were diagnosed as unexplained infertility and underwent IVF/ ICSI treatment were included and divided into two groups according to whether the catheter used in oocyte collection was single or double lumened: group 1 patients with single lumen (n: 59) and group 2 patients with double lumen (n:129). In addition, patients were divided into two subgroups according to the treatment protocol: antagonist protocol (n:134; 45 patient in group 1 and 89 patient in group 2) and long agonist protocol (n:54; 14 patient in group 1 and 40 patient in group 2). Results: Implantation rate (32.2% vs. 48.1%, p:0.042) clinical pregnancy rate (25.4% vs. 41.9%, p:0.03) and live birth rate (17.2% vs. 28.6%, p: 0.011) were higher in patients to whom double-lumen was used. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, double lumen use was found to be an independent predictor for clinical pregnancy (p = 0.041). According to the treatment protocol; clinical pregnancy rates (15 (25.4%) vs. 54 (41.9%), p: 0.011) and live birth rates (8 (13.6%) vs. 40 (31.0%), p: 0.030) of patients to whom double lumen was used during oocyte pick-up after the antagonist protocol were significantly higher. Conclusion: Our study showed that the use of double lumen increased implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate and it is evaluated as an independent factor that increases IVF/ICSI outcomes.
Synthesis, Characterization and Biospectroscopic Studies of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) Nanoparticles-Nucleic Acids Complexes Absence of Soluble Polymer as a Protective Agent Using Nucleic Acids Condensation and Solution Reduction Method

Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles–nucleic acids complexes have been attracted more attention in the last decade, because of their anti–tumor, anti–bacterial and anti–microbial properties, their uses in cancer diagnostic, their liquid crystalline character, their structure– redox relationship and their Oxygen carrier catalyst properties [130]. In this editorial, synthesis of ten new Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles–nucleic acids complexes with five different methods has performed. Also, their characterization and biospectroscopic studies of them were reported. These new Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles–nucleic acids complexes are obtained from the nucleic acids condensation. The molecular structure and chemical properties of these anti–cancer Nano compounds were confirmed by [1] HNMR, [13] CNMR, [30] PNMR, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR–FTIR), FT–Raman, UV–Vis and HR Mass spectroscopies. The biospectroscopic studies of these anti–cancer Nano compounds show a great significant importance of intermolecular Hydrogen bond in their structures.
The “laborless fuel”: Landscape, energy transitions and natural gas in the postwar U.S.

The dire need for an energy transition to mitigate and reverse global warming is inspiring scholars to reexamine political influences on technological systems. The multi-level perspective of the socio-technical transitions framework acknowledges how technological systems are affected by the social and political landscapes where they are built. Energy landscapes literatures elaborate on the socio-technical transitions framework by explaining how the boundaries of landscapes are negotiated in the context of energy transitions. Energy scholars have found that negotiations over the form and purpose of energy landscapes frequently skew in favor of capital accumulation instead of social reproduction. Studies of landscapes in human geography and labor history have shown how the power imbalance energy scholars observed can be corrected by workers and their communities struggling against business owners and the state. Using archival data, I show how U.S. natural gas legislation in the postwar period was intended to limit coalminers’ demands for landscapes of social reproduction. This point matters because the vulnerabilities of industrial capitalism to energy worker organization could be exploited to push for a just and sustainable energy transition like the Green New Deal.
Livelihood Improvement of Farmers through Agroforestry Practices in Teesta and Jamuna River Basins

Agroforestry is one of the most sustainable land management systems practiced around the world due to the socioeconomic benefits to farmers. In Bangladesh, farmers practice agroforestry, applying indigenous knowledge. The objectives of the study are to explore the dominant agroforestry systems and species preferred by and to assess the socio-economic impact of agroforestry technologies on their livelihoods of farmers of the Char dwellers in Jamuna and Teesta river basins. The study was conducted at four Char Upazillas such as Kazipur, Shariakandi, Kaunia and Dimla. A total 120 farmers were surveyed during the research period using structured questionnaire with both open and closed ended questions. The majority of the respondents (56.67%) having low score in adoption of traditional agroforestry practices. Most of the farmers (94.17%) in Teesta and Jamuna river basins are practicing traditional homestead agroforestry system. The most frequent strategy was boundary tree plantation (44.17%) followed by scattered tree plantation technique on composite planting system, and the alley of cropland. A total of 41 tree species are abundant in Char areas of Teesta and Januna basins. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) is widely adaptable in Bangladesh including Char areas followed by Mango (Mangifera indica) in homestead besides, Mahagony (Swietenia mahagoni) is another abundant species planted in croplands boundaries of Char areas along with Akashmoni (Acacia auriculiformis). The farmers mentioned different problems they were facing in practicing agroforestry but ‘shade cast by trees’ was the major problem. Majority farmers of Char areas plant trees in homestead for fruits (63.33%) and in cropland for fuel wood (95.83%) and timber production (82.50%). Farmers’ livelihoods improved enormously by practicing agroforestry as they have more access to food, fodder and fuel wood which is reflected by greater access to livelihood capitals except social capital. However, the farmers have experienced increased incidences of pests and diseases to annual crops and trees. Agroforestry practices increases species diversity, ensure economic return and sustain farmers’ livelihoods. The respondents, local leaders and experts suggested the constrains of adopting agroforestry in Char areas are lack of awareness, education, technical skills, capital, technical assistance, interest, marketing and transportation facilities at the study areas . The government should initiate some agroforestry focused projects, especially in the Char areas for the capacity building of the farmers and equip them with the new farming techniques through trainings and orientation workshops. The farmers should be provided scientific guidance about suitable tree species grown on agricultural land with field crops, their silvicultural operations and tree management practices along with free services and inputs including seeds, seedlings and loan schemes for promoting agroforestry.
Antibiotic accumulation, growth performance, physiologic status and intestinal �ora diversi�cation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) feed by diets supplemented with different dose of sulfamethoxazole

Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is an antibiotic used globally to treat �sh disease in aquaculture, but the effects of exposure to legal aquaculture doses of SMZ in �sh are still unclear. To comprehensively investigate the effects of exposure to legal doses of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), �sh were exposed to diets supplemented with different doses of SMZ (blank group, normal feed; LS, 0.67 g/kg; MS, 6.67 g/kg and HS, 33.33 g/kg) for 4 weeks. General SMZ accumulation, growth performance, physiologic status, intestinal and hepatic health were systemically evaluated. in changed
Identifying critical success factors in designing effective and efficient supply chain structures: A literature review

The present research mainly focuses on the review of existing literature on the topic of critical success factors (CSF) in supply chain structures. The main aim of this study is to identify the major critical success factors (CSF) that have been identified previously by academics and researchers during their research on the topics related to the discipline of supply chain management. The literature survey technique has been applied for the present research. This research is based on a critical review of seventy-three published studies on supply chain structures obtained from most important research databases by using the keywords related to supply chain structures such as barriers in the supply chain, critical success factors in supply chain structures. This study will not only contribute towards the existing literature on supply chain structures but will also help researchers to acknowledge the importance of critical success factors in supply chain structures. One of the major aspects of research regarding the supply chain is to reduce cost and that can only be done via effectiveness and efficiency in the processes, which depend on different variables at every level. The researchers have identified many critical success (CSF) factors in designing effective and efficient supply chain structures are a mutual partnership, executing communication and information expertise, support from senior management, human resource management, environmental uncertainty, value-addition process, business management, generating business culture, developing relationships between customer and supplier, logistics. The present research will also highlight the importance of different factors in achieving the effective and efficient in supply chain structures which enable organizations to not only reduce cost but also help them to achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction. This study will also be beneficial for managers as it will enable them to identify the critical success factors for their supply chain structures, keeping in view the nature and business environment of their organization.
Concentration of Partial VFA and Methane Production of Beef Cattle Rument Fluid which Red Dragon Fruit Skin (Hylocereus costaricensis) and Guava Leaf (Psidium guajava L.) in Ammoniated Rice Straw Based Ration

The research aimed to examine the effect of red dragon fruit skin and guava leaves supplemented into beef cattle feed on the concentration of partial VFA and methane gas production. The in vitro study was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments, namely P0: 50 % concentrate + 50 % ammoniated straw (Control), P1: 50 % concentrate + 50 % ammoniated straw + 5 % red dragon fruit skin flour, and P2: 50 % concentrate + 50 % ammonia straw + 5 % red dragon fruit skin flour + 2.5 % guava leaf flour. The concentrate consisted of 2 parts of rice bran and 1 part of coconut meal. The ratio of concentrat and ammoniated rice straw was 50:50. Each treatment was repeated 6 times. The results showed that the concentration of acetic acid, butyrate and methane gas decreased while the concentration of propionate increased with the addition of red dragon fruit and guava leaves. The research concluded that the addition of 5 % red dragon fruit skin flour combined with 2.5 % guava leaves flour in beef cattle feed could further reduce the concentration of acetic acid, butyric acid and the production of methane gas, but increase the concentration of propionic acid. It is suggested that defaunated agents of red dragon fruit skin and guava leaves could reduce the production of methane gas in the rumen of beef cattle.
