Research Article: Growth responses of carnivorous fish species under the chronic stress of water-borne copper

This study aimed to investigate the growth performance of three length groups (50, 100 and 150mm) of carnivorous fish species, Channa marulius and Mystus seenghala, under sub-lethal (1/3 rd of LC50) exposure of water-borne copper, in terms of increase/decrease in average wet weights (g) and total lengths (mm), condition factor, feed intake (g) and feed conversion efficiency (%). A group of 10 fish of each species and length group, with three replications, was separately exposed to water-borne copper, for 120 days, at constant conditions of water temperature (28°C), pH (8) and total hardness (250 mg L -1 ). Weekly data on all growth parameters of fish were collected and analyzed statistically. Results showed that treated fish species exhibited significantly lower average wet weight and total length increments than control fish that followed the order: C. marulius>M. seenghala. Among three length groups of both fish species, 150 mm length group exhibited significantly higher growth in terms of average wet weight and total length increments than 100 mm and 50 mm length groups suggesting that younger fish became more susceptible to copper stress hence showed lesser growth than older fish. The “K” values computed were significantly higher for treated than the control fish. Copper treated fish exhibited significantly lower feed intake than control fish. However, among three length groups of fish, order of feed intake was 150 mm>100 mm>50 mm. C. marulius exhibited significantly higher FCE as compared to M. seenghala. Overall, it was concluded that sub-lethal copper exposure caused significant reduction in growth of carnivorous fish.
PBRM1 Mutations as a Predictive Biomarker for Immunotherapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review

Effect of Kidney Dialysis on Some Biochemical

Background: Renal failure is one among the slowly progressive diseases of kidney function characterized generally by low glomerular filtration (GRF). The replacement therapy of renal failure by hemodialysis involves the removal of excessive toxic fluids and toxic metabolic end products from the body. In this background, the present attempt was focused to evaluate and correlate the value of various biochemical markers in blood serum from the pre and post dialysis renal failure patients. Among many biochemical parameters in blood, serum creatinine and urea are emerging as a source of more sensitive markers for the detection of the renal failure. Aim of the study: To investigate the effect of kidney dialysis on some biochemical variables such as blood urea, creatinine and some minerals, Sodium, Potassium, and phosphorus. Experimental: This study was conducted in Merrjan hospital in Babylon city during the period from September 2017 to March 2018. The patients were diagnosed as having renal failure for both sex based on the history, clinical examination and taking renal function test and need to under gowning haemodialysis. The control groups were volunteers; they were collected from medical staff and relatives, who were free from signs and symptoms of renal disease, Fasting blood samples were taken from the patients (8-12) hours after night meal, the study shows the following results, a significant change in most biochemical variables and duration of dialysis. Results: The results indicate there is a good positive correlation between urea and phosphate (P) (r = 0.674) and good negative correlation between urea and Ca++ (r= 0.895), while there is fair correlation between urea and other markers. serum urea and creatinine showed a significant increase in their levels in patients with chronic kidney failure (CRF) before haemodialysis when compared with that found in normal volunteers for both males and females. While that of serum calcium level was significantly decreased in patient with CRF before haemodialysis (HD) when compared with the apparently healthy controls, and its level increased after HD, but it remained lower than the controls. Before HD, the serum P was significantly higher than the apparently healthy controls. After HD, a significantly decreased in its level was appeared.
Development and quality analysis of low fat Kadaknath chicken patties

Value addition and development of functional meat products from Kadaknath is very limited and meatbased functional foods are being seen as an opportunity to improve the ‘‘image” of meat and address consumer needs. Present study was undertaken with aim of quality and sensory analysis of guar gum incorporated low fat Kadaknath chicken patties. The product was prepared by using three different levels of guar gum (T-1 0.5%, T-2 1% and T-3 1.5%) by replacing added fat. All samples were processed for physicochemical and sensory analysis. There was significant (P<0.05) difference in the cooking yield and moisture content of Kadaknath chicken patties between control and treatments. The developed product had significantly (P<0.05) lower fat content and moisture compared to control. Fat retention was significantly (P<0.05) increased with the increasing level of guar gum from control to T-2 and thereafter a non-significant (P>0.05) increment was noticed. Textural and sensory attributes differed significantly (P<0.05). Overall acceptability revealed a significant (P<0.05) lower score for T-1 and T-3. However, score for T-2 was comparable to control. Hence, patties with 1% guar gum (T-2) was found superior and most acceptable by the sensory panelists and finally selected as low fat Kadaknath chicken patties.
SMASH: Synchronized Many-sided Rowhammer Attacks from JavaScript

Despite their in-DRAM Target Row Refresh (TRR) mitiga-tions, some of the most recent DDR4 modules are still vulnerable to many-sided Rowhammer bit ﬂips. While these bit ﬂips are exploitable from native code, triggering them in the browser from JavaScript faces three nontrivial challenges. First, given the lack of cache ﬂushing instructions in JavaScript, existing eviction-based Rowhammer attacks are already slow for the older single-or double-sided variants and thus not always effective. With many-sided Rowhammer, mounting effective attacks is even more challenging, as it requires the eviction of many different aggressor addresses from the CPU caches. Second, the most effective many-sided variants, known as n -sided, require large physically-contiguous memory regions which are not available in JavaScript. Finally, as we show for the ﬁrst time, eviction-based Rowhammer attacks require proper synchronization to bypass in-DRAM TRR mitigations. Using a number of novel insights, we overcome these challenges to build SMASH (Synchronized MAny-Sided Ham-mering), a technique to succesfully trigger Rowhammer bit ﬂips from JavaScript on modern DDR4 systems. To mount effective attacks, SMASH exploits high-level knowledge of cache replacement policies to generate optimal access patterns for eviction-based many-sided Rowhammer. To lift the requirement for large physically-contiguous memory regions, SMASH decomposes n -sided Rowhammer into multiple double-sided pairs, which we can identify using slice coloring. Finally, to bypass the in-DRAM TRR mitigations, SMASH carefully schedules cache hits and misses to successfully trigger synchronized many-sided Rowhammer bit ﬂips. We showcase SMASH with an
MINIMIZATION OF L1 OVER L2 FOR SPARSE SIGNAL

The ratio of the L 1 and L 2 norms, denoted by L 1 /L 2 , becomes attractive due to 4 its scale-invariant property when approximating the L 0 norm to promote sparsity. In this paper, we 5 incorporate the L 1 /L 2 formalism into an unconstrained model in order to deal with both noiseless and 6 noisy observations. To design an eﬃcient algorithm, we derive an analytical solution for the proximal 7 operator of the L 1 /L 2 functional. Since the analytical solution depends on the sparsity of an unknown 8 signal, we develop a bisection search method to ﬁnd the desired sparsity and the corresponding 9 solution to the proximal operator of L 1 /L 2 . With the new-developed solver of the proximal operator, 10 we propose a speciﬁc variable-splitting scheme for the alternating direction method of multipliers 11 (ADMM) so that we can establish its global convergence under mild assumptions and prove its 12 linear convergence rate under suitable conditions. Experimentally, we conduct extensive numerical 13 simulations to demonstrate the eﬃciency of the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art methods 14 in sparse signal recovery with and without noise. 15

NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES ASPIRATION ADAPTATION IN RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED ENVIRONMENTS

We use a multi-country field experiment to test the effect of a slum-housing intervention on the housing aspirations of non-beneficiary neighbors. Initially after treatment, nontreated households’ aspirations to upgrade their dwelling are significantly higher compared to the treatment group, suggesting that they aspire to “keep-up” with their treatment Joneses’. No effects are found, however, on housing investments. Eight months later, the aspirational effect disappears. Estimates based on a structural model of aspiration adaptation show that the decay rate is 38% per month. Our evidence suggests that simply fostering higher aspirations may be insufficient to encourage forward-looking behavior among the poor.

Impact and effectiveness of Rwanda’s National Domestic Biogas programme

The Rwandan Government’s National Domestic Biogas programme (NDBP), seeks to deliver renewable energy services to households across the country by promoting family-sized anaerobic (biogas) digesters on a large scale. The NDBP policy is implemented at different levels, from government and private contractors to households. We analysed the scheme, focusing on how policy was implemented across two districts, namely Kirehe and Kamonyi, and we interviewed rural households and biogas service providers. The NDBP delivers improved energy service outcomes to a majority of households. Training and education of householders, particularly women, is needed in relation to the maintenance of digesters, feedstock suitability and the environmental as well as the potential livelihood benefits of digestate. There is a need for appropriate implementation strategies, financial support and coordination of biogas programmes. Financial institutions and cooperatives should be involved for policy implementation.
Determinant Factors of Taxpayer Satisfaction in Using the Electronic Tax Invoice Number (E–NOFA) in the Emerging Technology Era

—Tax is an important role in a country. State revenue from the taxation sector is a source of income based on the type of collection, one of which is the central tax. Central Tax is a tax collected by the central government, consists of Income Tax (IT), Value Added Tax (VAT) and others. One of the state revenues in Indonesia depends on collecting VAT. VAT has two types of administrative procedure, namely input tax and output tax. In the payment of VAT, the taxable entrepreneur can credit the input tax paid with the output tax collected within the same tax period. This phenomenon is in line with the use of fictitious invoices numbering on the handover of taxable services or taxable goods made by entrepreneurs who carry out value added tax refunds. Therefore, the application of electronic tax invoice number (E-Nofa) is expected to be able to prevent the use of fictitious tax invoices and facilitate the supervision of tax invoice numbering system used by taxble entrepreneurs. This type of research used is explanatory research with a quantitative approach. Variables used are system quality, information quality, service quality and perceived usefulness as the independent variable, and taxpayer satisfaction as dependen variable. The research purpose is to test and analyze the effect of system quality, information quality, service quality and perceived usefulness on taxpayer satisfaction in the use of electronic tax invoice number (E-Nofa). The results showed that the service quality and perceived usefulness significantly affects to taxpayer satisfaction. While the system quality and information quality are not has a significant effect on taxpayer satisfaction. The conclusion of this study is that the taxpayer satisfaction of use of electronic tax invoice number (E-Nofa) in the Northern Malang tax office area affect with the service quality and perceived usefulness on the electronic tax invoice number (E-Nofa).
Effect of Employee Engagement on Non-Financial Performance in Jordanian Insurance Companies

This research aims at assessing the level of employee engagement and its effect on the non-financial performance of Jordanian insurance companies. Employee engagement is described as the level of commitment and involvement of employees towards their organization and its values. The success of any organization is based on the level of employees’ engagement and many organizations realize that engagement is becoming one of the most critical factors to stay competitive in the market. To study the effect of engagement on the non-financial performance, a questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 200 employees working in Jordanian insurance companies. 180 responses were collected and only 167 were considered valid for analysis. The results show that employee engagement significantly affect non-financial performance. Performance is positively impacted by increased engagement of employees. More specifically, vigor, dedication, and absorption have positive and significant effect on non-financial performance. Other findings of this research is that engagement among insurance employees in Jordan is Moderate. This research provides practical recommendations for managers and policy makers to enhance performance by building engagement. Recommendations also focus on assessing employee engagement in Jordanian insurance companies due to their important effect on organizational success, long-term sustainability, efficiency and productivity.
INFLUENCE OF HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS ON THE PRODUCTIVITY AND SLAUGHTER QUALITIES IN FATTENING PIGS

A scientific experiment with twenty fattening pigs from the Danube White breed was conducted in Agricultural Institute Shumen. The animals were separated into two groups of ten, and were fed and reared in individual boxes. The experiment began with an average live weight of 55.300 kg for the control group and 55.800 kg for the trial group. Throughout the rearing period, the animals received compound feed containing 15.5 g Crude Protein (CP), 0.71 g Lysine, 0.67 g calcium and 0.60 g phosphorus. To the feed of the experimental group were added herbal supplements 20 g/per capita daily with the following composition: 50% rosehip flour, 30% nettle leaves, 10% weeds grass, 5% dandelion, 5% hawthorn. The aim of this experiment was to establish the influence of herbal supplements on the productivity, slaughter qualities, chemical composition and physical properties of m. Longissimus dorsi meat in fattening pigs. In conclusion, we established that the herbal supplement has influenced the fat thickness in the shoulder (30.00 mm and 19.40 mm, P=0.027) and back (17.40 mm and 32.00 mm, P=0.016).
The Influence of Perceived Organizational Support and Proactive Personality on Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Among Banking Employees in Malang

In current banking industry competition, not only support from the organization are needed by employees to increase commitment and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), but also the employees’ personality itself are important. Using social exchange theory, this research aims to determine the effect of organizational support (POS) and proactive personality on commitment and OCB. Quantitative explanatory approach and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLSSEM) are used in this research. Questionnaires collected from 92 samples of Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) permanent staffs in Malang. Using SmartPLS 3.0, the result of this research show that POS is a significant predictor of employees’ organizational commitment. On the other hand, proactive personality insignificantly affects the employees’ organizational commitment, but significantly affect employees’ OCB. This research also shows that only employees’ organizational commitment that are successfully mediate the relationship of POS and OCB. Keywords—social exchange theory (SET), perceived organizational support (POS), proactive pesonality, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)

1Department of Ophthalmology, Gil Medical Center, Gachon University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea; 2RudaCure Co., LTD, Incheon, Korea; 3Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Purpose: To compare the short-term therapeutic effects of topical corticosteroids in patients with refractory dry eye disease (DED) according to the tear matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) point-of-care positivity. Methods: This study was conducted on 137 patients who were referred from other eye clinics, complaining of irresponsive DED or acute DED flares despite routine treatment with topical cyclosporin or diquafosol. The patients received treatment with topical corticosteroids for 1 month. DED was evaluated by SANDE (Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye) questionnaire, tear film breakup time, ocular surface staining score, and meibomian gland dysfunction stage. The InflammaDry MMP-9 immunoassay was conducted in more symptomatic eyes of all patients. The changes in the subjective symptoms were additionally surveyed as symptom improvement score. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.8±13.4 years, and the tear MMP-9 positivity was 73.0%. Topical corticosteroids treatment showed significant improvement of symptoms and signs in the patients with refractory DED irrespective of the positivity of MMP-9 (each p<0.001). The changes in SANDE score and OSS, and symptom improvement score were higher in the MMP-9 positive group than in the MMP-9 negative group (p=0.002/0.010/0.011). The overall rates of subjective symptoms improvement and SANDE reduction were 73.0% and 90.6% after topical corticosteroids treatment, respectively. Conclusion: Short-term topical corticosteroids had excellent therapeutic effects in patients with refractory DED or acute DED flares, irrespective of the tear MMP-9 level. Tear MMP-9 positivity may serve as a reliable response predictor of topical corticosteroids treatment in DED.
Validation of the Infant and Young Child Development (IYCD) Indicators in Three Countries: Brazil, Malawi and Pakistan

Background: The early childhood years provide an important window of opportunity to build strong foundations for future development. One impediment to global progress is a lack of population-based measurement tools to provide reliable estimates of developmental status. We aimed to field test and validate a newly created tool for this purpose. Methods: We assessed attainment of 121 Infant and Young Child Development (IYCD) items in 269 children aged 0–3 from Pakistan, Malawi and Brazil alongside socioeconomic status (SES), maternal educational, Family Care Indicators and anthropometry. Children born premature, malnourished or with neurodevelopmental problems were excluded. We assessed inter-rater and test-retest reliability as well as understandability of items. Each item was analyzed using logistic regression taking SES, anthropometry, gender and FCI as covariates. Consensus choice of final items depended on developmental trajectory, age of attainment, invariance, reliability and acceptability between countries. Results: The IYCD has 100 developmental items (40 gross/fine motor, 30 expressive/receptive language/cognitive, 20 socio-emotional and 10 behavior). Items were acceptable, performed well in cognitive testing, had good developmental trajectories and high reliability across countries. Development for Age (DAZ) scores showed very good known-groups validity. Conclusions: The IYCD is a simple-to-use caregiver report tool enabling population level assessment of child development for children aged 0–3 years which performs well across three countries on three continents to provide reliable estimates of young children’s developmental status.
Gen Z explorative study on tourism activities in the pandemic COVID-19

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a global pandemic by WHO, this disease is caused by SARS-CoV-2. The management program that has been implemented by the Government of Indonesia is Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) and now is the New Habit Adaptation or new normal. This effort was made to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This research was conducted to identify how the activities of Generation Z during the Covid-19 period. The formulation of the problem within this research is how was the activities of Generation Z during Covid-19? The method used is descriptive analysis method. The population in this study is the millennial generation. The research method was carried out by interviewing the millennial generation. The subjects of this study were 50 people of generation Z, aged 17 to 30 years old. The data analysis technique used in this study is a qualitative data analysis technique which refers to the phenomenological research method. The results show that the view, generation Z in handling Covid-19 is very worrying, the attitudes and actions taken are good, while government policies take less effective action, because the government is not ready to appreciate government performance in responding to Covid-19, health protocols, pay less attention to hospitals Covid-19 reference, slow distribution of social assistance, quick response at the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, Generation Z's attitude towards tourism is that they agree to travel after the pandemic is over, because they are free to travel whenever and wherever they want.
