Investigation of bacterial pathogens in milk from mastitic dairy cattle by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry

The scope of the present study was to assess the use of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry (MS) as a quick technique for the identification of bacterial species in mastitis. In this study, milk samples from each udder quarter from a total of 250 dairy cattle were aseptically collected and tested. The samples were grouped into California Mastitis Test (CMT) positive, CMT negative and clinical mastitis. The samples were streaked on blood agar and the bacterial isolates were analysed using MALDI-TOF MS. Using MALDI-TOF MS, certain species such as Staphylococcus chromogenes (44/188, 23.4%), Aerococcus viridans (40/188, 21.3%) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (19/188, 10.1%) were identified at a higher proportion in milk samples from cattle that were CMT positive. Moreover, the most common bacteria isolated from CMT negative milk samples were A. viridans (56/161, 34.8%), S. haemolyticus (24/161, 14.9%) and S. chromogenes (17/161, 10.6%). Only one isolate of S. chromogenes (1/4, 25%), A. viridans (1/4, 25%), S. haemolyticus (1/4, 25%) and Enterococcus faecium (1/4, 25%) was detected from milk samples with clinical mastitis using MALDI-TOF MS. There was a concurrence between the MALDI-TOF and biochemical bacterial identification method in 325 of 353 samples (92.06%). This study concludes that MALDI-TOF can be applied for quick determination of bacterial isolates once the bacterial colony has been isolated in milk samples.
Economic Growth As A Moderating Variable In Firm Value Determination : Evidence From Property and Real Estate Sub Sector Companies Listed on IDX

This study aims to analyze economic growth as a moderating variable in firm value determination of the property and real estate sub-sector companies listed on the IDX. The independent variables used in this study are Return on Assets (ROA), Long Term Debt to Assets Ratio (LTDAR), Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), and Sales Volume. Firm value in this study is proxied by Market Value Added (MVA). This study uses a quantitative approach and secondary data. The population of this study was 48 property and real estate sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2012-2018, the sample selection was carried out by purposive sampling method so that a sample of 17 companies was obtained. The analytical method used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that ROA and sales volume have a partial effect on firm value, LTDAR and DPR partially have no effect on firm value. The moderating variable used can strengthen the relationship between X and Y. The economic growth variable cannot moderate the ROA, LTDAR and DPR variables on firm value and can only moderate the sales volume variable on firm value

2021 Myanmar Political Crisis : Opportunity and Challenge for Indonesia Sectoral Leadership in ASEAN

The purpose of this research is to finds the opportunity and challenge for Indonesia as sectoral leadership role in political-security in address 2021 Myanmar political crises. This research used qualitative methods which data collection by literature studies. Research found that the opportunity for Indonesia to coping with 2021 Myanmar political crises came from its free-active foreign policy, experience of democracy transition and diplomacy capability in ASEAN. But at the same time Indonesia has faced the obstacle to coping with it from the both external and internal such as ASEAN non-interference doctrine, the resistance from Myanmar people and inconsistence of Indonesia domestic commitment toward Human Right and Introduction
Golden Fetters and the Causal Effects of Countercyclical Monetary Policy

We estimate the causal impact of countercyclical monetary policy on macroeconomic outcomes for open economies subject to external demand shocks. To identify exogenous monetary-policy and external-demand shocks, we construct a new database of short-term interest rates, principal exports, and international commodity prices for 30 economies between 1870-1913, an era when capital flowed unencumbered and economies followed a nominal anchor but were subjected to the “commodity lottery. ” We use this quasi-natural experiment from history to identify causal, positive, effects of exogenous commodity-export prices on real GDP and on domestic prices (external-demand shocks); and causal negative effects from exogenous changes in short-term rates (monetary-policy shocks). We further show that countercyclical monetary policy stabilized output and domestic prices following external-demand shocks. Stabilization policy is more effective for prices than output, and stronger for output following positive external-demand shocks.
Improving The Properties of The Egyptian Hard Cheese (Ras Type) with Adding Some Probiotic Lactobacillus spp. as Adjunct Cultures

The objective of the present study was to improve the quality of the Egyptian hard cheese (Ras type) by adding some Lactobacillus spp. as probiotic adjunct cultures. Strains of Lb. acidophilus , Lb. helveticus and Lb. casei were used and the chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of the cheese during 90 days of ripening were evaluated. The obtained data indicated that pH values and moisture content were decreased, while the total nitrogen (TN), fat, fat/dry matter, titratable acidity and salt contents were increased significantly during the ripening period in all treatments. For the ripening indices, significantly higher content of soluble nitrogen (SN), SN/TN, soluble tyrosine, soluble tryptophan and total volatile fatty acids were found in the experimental cheese compared to the Control cheese. Higher Lactobacilli count were observed in the adjunct treated cheeses, which reflects the positive retention of Lactobacilli in the experimental cheeses. Also, the use of probiotic adjunct cultures reduced the growth of fungi and prevented the coliform bacteria on Ras cheese. There was higher acceptability for the experimental cheeses than for the Control. Ras cheese was considered a good carrier for Lactobacillus probiotic strains since they were found to survive during cheese manufacture, ripening and storage.
Study on Physico-Chemical Properties of Developed Ready to Use Health Beverage Containing Coffee

:- A ready to use health beverage was developed by replacing part of doubled toned milk with cheddar cheese whey (30 %) and adding various functional ingredients such as stevia (0.01 %), walnut oil (2 %) and coffee decoction (15 %). The various physico-chemical properties of the developed healthy coffee beverage such as specific gravity, viscosity, pH, acidity, moisture, total solids, fat, protein, total sugar and ash content were determined against control beverage. It was observed that there was a decrease in specific gravity and pH values and an increase in acidity and viscosity of developed health beverage compared to control beverage. Also, an increase in fat, protein and ash content was observed with simultaneous decrease in total solids and sugar content in health beverage compared to control.
Optimization of the paste backfill plant at Louvicourt mine

In 1995, Louvicourt mine started one of the first paste backfill operations in Canada. From 500 000 t in 1995, the annual paste backfill tonnage produced reached 800 000 t in 1999. The maximum throughput of the surface plant (including binders) is 3500 tpd with a final density of 75% to 76% solids which gives a slump of 15 cm to 17 cm. Following the start-up of the paste backfill plant, the backfill strength performance levels were well below the pilot plant's predictions. The introduction of ferrous slag, laboratory tests on various binder ratios with or without additives, and the desliming of the tailings enabled us to optimize the mix and operation costs. Primary and secondary stopes are filled respectively with a paste containing 4.5% and 2% binders in a mixture of 20% cement to 80% ferrous slag. In certain stopes, the binder ratio may vary from 2% to 7%, but always in a ratio of 80/20. Six years after start-up, or 4.5 Mt of paste backfill later, this paper discusses the present operation and the major changes that have occurred over the years to optimize both the operation and the paste fill quality.
Review on the effects of seed rates on growth , yield components and yield of bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L . )

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the important grain crops produced worldwide. In Ethiopia bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops cultivated primarily for human consumption. It has been recognized as strategic food security crop and contributes about 16% requirement in the country. Wheat is the leading cereal grain produced, consumed and traded in the world today. Seed rate are the most important management factor affected the agronomic characteristics of wheat. Seeding rate can impact on wheat tillering, grain yield and protein quality. Wheat quality was not reduced at higher seeding rates as protein content, kernel weight and test weight were unaffected. At the highest seeding density, the increased intra-plant competition may have also contributed to the reduction in plant height. Hence, achieving higher agronomic performance and better end-use quality requires optimizing and periodically reviewing management practices such as seeding rates. However, in cultivars that produce fewer tillers, higher seeding rates compensated for reduced tiller and promoted more main stem spikes.in a dense wheat population, grain yield.in a dense wheat population, grain yield decreased due to competition between plants that induced self-regulation. Wheat yield also affected by growth and seed rate. So optimum seed rate is recommended for increasing wheat production and productivity.
Risk and the modernization of agriculture

Does risk limit the advancement of agriculture in developing countries? This paper shows evidence that risk is indeed an important factor that constrains the decisions made by farmers. More speciﬁcally, we use a ﬁeld experiment in rural eastern India to quantify the eﬀects of Swarna-Sub1, a promising new rice seed that eﬀectively reduces risk by sharply reducing the susceptibility of the crop to ﬂood damage. In doing so, we oﬀer novel evidence on the eﬀect of a direct reduction in production risk on economic behavior. We show that access to this new technology leads to increases in area cultivated, fertilizer used, and the likelihood of using a more modern planting method. Also, the technology reduces precautionary savings of grain for consumption and increases the use of agricultural credit. Technological progress that directly elim-inates weather-induced production variability oﬀers a promising method of advancing agriculture in areas that are prone to extreme weather. for and
Performance and stability of some bread wheat genotypes for grain yield and some attributes in response to drought stress

Because of limited of water resources in Egypt, rationalize of irrigation water became necessary. Therefore, development wheat genotypes with drought tolerance is very important, especially with the essential need to expand in growing wheat to narrowing the gap between production and consumption. In this study, twenty-one genotypes of bread wheat were evaluated with testing stability of their performance during two growing seasons; 2018/19 and 2019/20 under drought condition at the Experimental Farm of Faculty of Agric. , South Valley Univ., Qena. Drought was applied by two levels after heading 50% of plants; genotypes were irrigated each 14 and 21 days, respectively. Each experiment was designed in a spilt plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results revealed that mean squares due to years, irrigation cycles and genotypes were highly significant for all studied traits, except for days to maturity which did not differ significantly from year to another. Results revealed also that drought caused decreases in estimates of all studied growth and yield traits. The cultivars, Misr 2, Gemmiza 12, Gemmiza 11 and Gemmiza 9 which had highest values of STI with lowest values of TOL, SSI and S were the best drought tolerant cultivars. High estimates of heritability in broad sense were recorded for all studied traits. According to stability parameters, out of fifteen stable genotypes for grain yield (Ard/fed.), the two genotypes line 3 and Shandweell 1 considered to be superior which could be recommended.

clinical cases Two cases of glomerulonephritis in one patient infected with the hepatitis C virus clinical cases clinical cases clinical cases clinical cases clinical cases clinical cases

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (GN) may be pathogenically associated with infection due to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) as many clinical cases have shown. The potential relationship between the HCV and IgA GN, by contrast, has been suggested only in few cases. IgA nephropathy recurs in up to 50% of cases after renal transplantation, but it is uncommon for it to appear as a de novo GN. We report the case of a patient with chronic infection due to the HCV and liver disease, who developed two different glomerular diseases during its progression: membranoproliferative GN in his native kidneys, a process that caused terminal renal failure and de novo IgA GN in the transplanted kidney. The potential pathogenic relationship of both glomerular processes with infection due to the HCV is discussed.
InAs/AlSb HFETs with f/sub /spl tau// and f/sub max/ above 150 GHz for low-power MMICs

Very low-power InAs/AlSb HFETs with excellent RF performance are reported. These metamorphic HFETs on GaAs substrates combine high microwave g/sub m/ of at least 1.1 S/mm with low parasitic resistances to offer simultaneous measured f/sub /spl tau// and f/sub max/ values of 160 GHz for both figures of merit. This performance is obtained at a drain bias voltage of only 0.35 V for an HFET with a 0.25-/spl mu/m gate length. The high current gain (f/sub /spl tau//) is attributable to the improved charge control due to scaling of the barrier thickness to 180 /spl Aring/. The maximum power gain (f/sub max/) depends on both g/sub m/ and the HFET output conductance, which is fundamentally limited by the low breakdown voltage gap of the InAs channel (E/sub g/ = 0.36 eV).
Performance of a Translucent Activator for LipiFlow Vectored Thermal Pulse (VTP) Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Purpose Investigator feedback was used to assess the clinical use of the LipiFlow® System with the new translucent Activator Clear to successfully complete LipiFlow® treatments. Patients and Methods This was a prospective, open-label clinical investigation. A total of 88 eyes (44 subjects) were treated using the LipiFlow® System with the new Activator Clear. Subjects diagnosed with bilateral meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) were enrolled in the study. Each investigator performed a complete LipiFlow® treatment with the translucent Activator on both eyes of each subject. Investigators completed a questionnaire assessing the clinical use of the Activator Clear on a 5-point scale (1 – very difficult or strongly disagree, 3 – neutral, 5 – very easy or strongly agree). Results The new translucent Activator provided successful LipiFlow® treatments in 100% of cases, with 95% confidence interval of (96%, 100%). Additionally, the investigators agreed or strongly agreed that the translucent components of the Activator Clear made it easy to access and position the activator with confidence on the subject’s eye. Conclusion The overall investigators’ impressions on usage and functionality of LipiFlow® System with the translucent Activator were very positive. The Activator Clear enables doctors with efficient and confident positioning around patient eyelids to ensure successful LipiFlow® treatment when used as indicated.
MSC Transplantation Attenuates Inflammation, Prevents Endothelial Damage and Enhances the Angiogenic Potency of Endogenous MSCs in a Model of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Purpose Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and fatal pulmonary vascular disease initiated by endothelial dysfunction. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to ameliorate PAH in various rodent models; however, these models do not recapitulate all the histopathological alterations observed in human PAH. Broiler chickens (Gallus gallus) can develop PAH spontaneously with neointimal and plexogenic arteriopathy strikingly similar to that in human patients. Herein, we examined the protective effects of MSC transplantation on the development of PAH in this avian model. Methods Mixed-sex broilers at 15 d of age were received 2×106 MSCs or PBS intravenously. One day later, birds were exposed to cool temperature with excessive salt in their drinking water to induce PAH. Cumulative morbidity from PAH and right-to-left ventricle ratio were recorded. Lung histologic features were evaluated for the presence of endothelial damage, endothelial proliferation and plexiform lesions. Expression of proinflammatory mediators and angiogenic factors in the lung was detected. Matrigel tube formation assay was performed to determine the angiogenic potential of endogenous MSCs. Results MSC administration reduced cumulative PAH morbidity and attenuated endothelial damage, plexiform lesions and production of inflammatory mediators in the lungs. No significant difference in the expression of paracrine angiogenic factors including VEGF-A and TGF-β was determined between groups, suggesting that they are not essential for the beneficial effect of MSC transplantation. Interestingly, the endogenous MSCs from birds receiving MSC transplantation demonstrated endothelial differentiatial capacity in vitro whereas those from the mock birds did not. Conclusion Our results support the therapeutic use of MSC transplantation for PAH treatment and suggest that exogenous MSCs produce beneficial effects through modulating inflammation and endogenous MSC-mediated vascular repair.
