Honey botanical origin of stingless bees (Apidae Meliponini) in the Nova América community of the Sateré Mawé indigenous tribe, Amazon, Brazil

Abstract This study analysed the pollen present in honey samples collected from colonies of stingless bees (Meliponini) from the meliponary of the Nova América community of the Sateré Mawé tribe, located on the Maruá River, Maués municipality, Amazonas state, Brazil (03° 39ʹ 45.00″ S, 57° 20ʹ 17.99″ W). Collections were made directly from honey storage pots. A total of 47 pollen types were identified, belonging to 22 plant families. Bees with the largest number of pollen types were Melipona seminigra (31 collected pollen types), followed by Melipona sp. (27 pollen types), Scaptotrigona sp. (25 pollen types), and Melipona dubia (19 pollen types). Plant families most commonly collected were: Anacardiaceae, Arecaceae, Burseraceae, Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Dilleniaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae, Melastomataceae, Myrtaceae, Rhamnaceae and Salicaceae. Scaptotrigona sp. had the highest pollen types diversity (H′ = 2.32) and, consequently, greatest between-collection uniformity. Trophic niche overlap was significant between the following pairs of bees: M. seminigra and M. dubia (O i = 0.93); M. seminigra and Scaptotrigona sp. (O i = 0.79) and M. dubia and Scaptotrigona sp. (O i = 0.69). These data demonstrate the importance of these shared groups of plants for the maintenance of these bees and, consequently, for the development of meliponiculture in Brazilian Amazonia.
Factors Affecting Business Failure of Small and Very Small Greek Family Enterprises

This article investigates the factors that lead small and very small Greek businesses to financial failure using financial and accounting ratios as well as corporate governance characteristics. Our data set consists of 136 small and very small firms that went bankrupt, which were matched with a sample of 472 non bankrupt enterprises formed by random selection based on year, sector and sub-sector determinants, from 2003 to 2014. The total firm-year observations for bankrupt and non bankrupt companies were 940 and 5,041 respectively. Applying a Logit model for panel data, the results showed a significant impact on the likelihood of small and very small firms failing due to factors such as the type and the amount of bank lending, the level of profitability, cash flows, and liquidity.The data also support a statistically significant correlation of the probability of failure with non-financial factors such as Duality on the Board and CEO gender.The results of this paper will be useful for both banks and managers of small and micro businesses.
Mimicking T- shaped giant meckel's diverticulum: another rare anatomical variant complicating small bowel obstruction by adhesions

We report case with Meckel's diverticulitis complicated by adhesive intestinal obstruction. An adolescent of 13-yr-old boy with history of recurrent right sided lower abdominal pain and vomiting for two days. According to his mother he had been suffering this type of pain intermittently for last three years which was treated conservatively. This time the pain was out of proportion therefore she reported in tertiary hospital. On examination patient was tender at right iliac fossa region with abdominal guarding. CT scan of abdomen revealed multiple fluid-filled, dilated proximal bowel loops. Meckel's diverticulum was not suspected until diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Patient was converted to open laparotomy where the giant (13 cm sized), narrow base mimicking T-shaped Meckel’s diverticulum and inter bowel loop adhesions near terminal ileum were seen. About 20 cm affected ileal segment with Meckel’s diverticulum resected and primary end to end anastomosis performed. The postoperative course remained uneventful. Histopathology report confirms the inflammation of Meckel’s diverticulum. Significance of this type of Meckel’s diverticulum is its T-shaped mimicking appearance with giant size body and narrow base and was manifested with recurrent sub occlusive intestinal obstruction in the period of three years. It is the second ever reported case in English journals.
Accuracy of Multi-Detector Computed Tomography in Detection of Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease

Background: Patients with chronic liver disease should undergo screening endoscopy, but this approach places a heavy burden upon endoscopy units along with other limitations. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of multi-detector computed tomography scan in detecting esophageal varices taking endoscopy as gold standard.Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done from 1st Jan 2018 to 31st Dec 2018 at Department of Radiology, PIMS Hospital Islamabad. A total of 180 patients of both gender with chronic liver disease for at least 12 months were included in this study with an age range of 25-65 years. Patients with active gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast agent, chronic renal failure, claustrophobic and pregnant females were excluded. All the patients underwent endoscopy and computed tomography of lower chest and the upper abdomen before and after intravenous contrast administration. Multi detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan findings for esophageal varices were compared with endoscopy findings.Results: In MDCT positive patients (n=102), 98 were true positive and 04 were false positive. Among 78 MDCT negative patients, 07 were false negative, whereas 71 were true negative. Overall sensitivity and specificity were 93.33%, and 94.67% respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 96.08% and 91.03% respectively, while diagnostic accuracy of MDCT in detecting esophageal varices in chronic liver disease patients was 93.89%, taking endoscopy as gold standard.Conclusions: Multi-detector computed tomography scan is a highly sensitive and accurate non-invasive modality for detecting esophageal varices in chronic liver disease patients.Key words: Accuracy, Chronic liver disease, Esophageal varices, Multi-detector computed tomography
Community Service-Learning Translations in a Legal Spanish Course

Author(s): Alsina Naudi, Anna | Abstract: There is growing interest in including service-learning courses in higher education, and abundant literature exists on this subject. Less researched is binomial service learning, specifically related to civic learning and legal translation. Studies on the goals of combining foreign language instruction with civic participation in the Hispanic community through translation have revealed very positive outcomes. This paper presents two different community-related translation activities in a Spanish course for specific purposes (specifically, Legal Spanish), and the corresponding students’ reflections. One is related to El Salvador and to asylum and refugee claims in the US, while the other is linked to a Health Center in Trenton, NJ. The conclusion summarizes the results and evaluates their significance in the context of community-learning service and their success in bringing students closer to a reality that is far beyond their context, while critically thinking about justice-related issues.
Tectonothermal evolution of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone and its implications for Proterozoic supercontinent assembly: the current status

The Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) is a major E-W striking mobile belt dissecting the Indian Craton along which the northern and southern Indian cratonic blocks have joined to make the Greater Indian Landmass (GIL). CITZ has a long evolutionary history spanning over 1000 Myrs (2.1-0.9 Ga), overlapping with the assembly and dispersal of two supercontinents – Columbia and Rodinia. Despite a lot of recent work carried out on the CITZ, several outstanding issues remain, especially on the nature and timing of different orogenic events identified in the southern part of this mobile belt. The present contribution attempts to summarize the major petrological, structural and geochronological studies carried out in the CITZ and reappraise the tectonic models in the context of the current database. It is surmised that, while the northern part of CITZ records Paleoproterozoic (ca. 1.8 Ga) orogenic events, the southern part is dominated by a late Palaeoproterozoic-early Mesoproterozoic (ca.1.6-1.5 Ga) collision, followed by crustal extension, and finally a late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic (ca. 1.040.93 Ga) collision that led to the final stitching of the North and South Indian cratonic blocks. Tectonic evolution of the CITZ is discussed in the context of the Proterozoic supercontinent cycle.
Effect of different shares of protein feeds in diets and of cold storage time on the physical properties of broiler chicken’s meat

The study aimed at evaluating the effect of feeding broiler chickens with diets containing faba bean and cold storage time on the physical properties of m. pectoralis major. The study material comprised 24 muscles from chickens split into 3 feeding groups. Birds from the control group (I) were fed with compound feeds containing soybean meal as the only highprotein component, whereas the starter/grower diets administered to experimental chickens contained faba bean in the proportion 8/15% - group II and 16/22% - group III, as a partial substitute for soybean meal. No effect of the feeding method on acidity and water absorption capacity of the muscle was observed. Muscles of chickens fed with mixes with a higher share of faba bean were characterised by higher yellow saturation, colour intensity and hue in comparison to other groups. The storage time had no effect on their physical properties; a decrease was only recorded in pH24 of the evaluated muscles, which testifies to the correct course of glycolytic transformations. To sum up, it must be stated that a higher share of faba bean in chicken diets modifies muscle colour only, but cold storage time has no impact on the evaluated physical characteristics of muscles.
A review of the interaction between the striker and the goalkeeper at the individual tactical level in football

Recent performance analysis techniques have attempted to move beyond a narrow focus on game outcomes by considering the game, team, group and individual tactical levels. Goals are decisive in football, yet the extent to which the individual goalkeeper had been studied was unknown. We therefore systematically searched the literature to determine the extent of studies that included actions related to the goalkeeper; of 711 titles retrieved, six met the full inclusion criteria. Despite sound study design in general, the use of World Cup matches might limit the generalisability of findings. Only 21% of the outcome variables extracted were comparable across studies, with 58 different variables used to describe actions involving the goalkeeper, which suggested significant conceptual disparity. Of greater concern, no studies presented the striker and goalkeeper interaction in relative terms. The development of an analytic model that quantifies this relationship is necessary to adequately characterise tactics and inform the practical requirements of goalkeeping tactical training.
Charles Bonnet Syndrome as a Rare Complication in an Ischaemic Stroke

C harles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a rare cause of complex visual hallucinations (VH) in individuals with preserved cognitive status. We report a case of an elderly patient with VH, diplopia and headaches for 1 week, with preserved visual acuity and without any strength or focal neurological findings. Computed tomography revealed a subacute ischaemic stroke with temporal and occipital involvement. The patient was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine where neurological, ophthalmological and psychiatric primary disease were ruled out, as well as dementia. CBS was assumed as a result of a subacute ischaemic stroke. Valproic acid was initiated to treat the symptoms, which resolved the VH. After 3 months of follow up, the patient remained completely recovered without any dementia signs. CBS is a benign disease, usually controlled without pharmacological therapy and not associated with a psychiatric disease; nevertheless, its association with dementia is not clear.
Analysis of The Effect Of The Addition of Fly Ash and Petrsoil on The Soil Shear Strength of The Swamp Area

The existence of irrigation canals greatly supports the production of rice produced, where irrigation channels will be equipped with embankment to protect irrigation channels. Existing soil must certainly be able to withstand shear strength to withstand embankment, while the soil in the South Sumatra region, especially the swamp area has a low shear power so it cannot hold back the shear strength from the embankment. For this reason, it is necessary to research the shear strength of the soil in the swamp area by adding fly ash and petrasoil in order to get the effect of increasing the value of the soil shear strength in the swamp area. The tests consists of the seive analysis, index properties, atterberg limits, soil compaction, and shear strength testing, based on SNI and ASTM. Mixed variations consist of 5, namely: (i) soil + petrasoil; (ii) soil + 10% fly ash + petrasoil; (iii) soil + 15% fly ash + petrasoil; (iv) soil + 20% fly ash + petrasoil; (v) soil + 20% fly ash; all variations without ripening. The test results are obtained that addition of 10% fly ash + petrasoil could be increase the soil cohesion value that is 21.56 Kpa, while the variation of the addition of 20% fly ash + water was obtained the highest value of the shear angle, that is 32.31 Kpa.
The Role of Halal Living on Muslim Millennial in Applying Halal Lifestyle

Halal has currently become lifestyle and trend that spread out in the community. Realizing the new tendency, NetTV as one of the media industries in Indonesia presents a program called Halal Living. The program contains information about travel, halal culinary, fashion hijab, health and beauty closely related to the life of Muslim women. An impression is expected to spread a positive and acceptable message by the public. According to the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, humans will produce certain behaviors if there is a certain stimulus; thus, the effect is a reaction to the stimulus. Stimulus in this research is the message delivered in program; the organism an informant who is a Muslim millennial; while the response awareness of halal lifestyle. In this research, halal living impressions will be seen from knowledge, attitude, and motivation of the informant. Informant's knowledge concerns the informant’s understanding about the impressions and messages presented. Informant’s attitudes deal with likes or dislikes regarding the impressions and messages presented. Motivation of informant concerns the desire of informants to apply the message or information delivered throughout the program. This study aimed to analyze the role of halal living show on Muslim millennial in applying halal life. It used qualitative descriptive approach. The data were collected using observation and semi-structured interview with Muslim millennial born in 1980-1995. The results reveal that Muslim millennial are interested in watching halal living program because the values it contains is well-packaged; the host is the hijaber, who is an Indonesian Muslim influencer; and messages it delivers are applicable and effective.
Lower lymphocyte to monocyte ratio is a potential predictor of poor outcome in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

Background Lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) is associated with functional outcome in patients with stroke. But the relationship between the LMR value and the prognosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) has not been investigated. Methods CVST patients, admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were retrospectively identified from November 2010 to January 2017. Functional outcomes of patients were evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Patients were divided into good (mRS 0–2) and poor (mRS 3–6) outcomes groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between LMR and the poor survival outcome. Results A total of 228 patients were included of which 41 had poor outcomes (18.0%). The duration of follow-up was 22 months (6–66 months). LMR (2.3±1.2 vs 3.2±1.8, p<0.01) was significantly lower in the poor outcome group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that LMR (HR 0.726, 95% CI 0.546 to 0.964, p=0.027) was a independent predictor of poor prognosis. Conclusions LMR may be a predictor of poor prognosis in CVST patients.
Effects of Recent Minimum Wage Policies in California and Nationwide: Initial Results from a Pre-Specified Analysis Plan

Many U.S. cities have recently increased their minimum wages, especially in California. We report results from carrying out analyses of the impacts of these city minimum wages, as specified in a pre-analysis plan (PAP) that was registered on Open Science Framework prior to the release of data covering two years of minimum wage increases. In this working paper, we report results updating the data through 2018; our final paper will add another year of evidence on minimum wages. For employment effects, in our analysis of California cities we find a hint of negative employment effects, but the estimates are neither robust nor statistically strong. The analysis of local minimum wages nationally also provides some evidence of disemployment effects, although it is not statistically significant. For distributional effects, our city-specific analyses do not provide clear evidence one way or the other, except for evidence of increases in the shares poor or low-income in Santa Clara. In our panel data analyses of all California or national local minimum wages, there is evidence pointing to declines in the shares poor or low-income, although at least for California the data indicate that the shares poor or low-income were declining before local minimum wages took effect (or were increased). More definitive results await our next update.
Understanding online shopping adoption: The unified theory of acceptance and the use of technology with perceived risk in millennial consumers context

Online shopping is growing so rapidly and has attracted millennials in various way. Unfortunately, the discussion regarding the adoption of online shopping in millennial consumers’ context with perceived risk application was still limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of performance expectancy, expectation efforts, social influence, facilitation conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habits, and perceived risks on behavioral intentions and use behavior. This study also discusses the effect of perceived risks on financial risk, performance risk, and privacy risk. This study can be classified as explanatory research with purposive sampling and partial least square as sampling techniques and data analysis. This study was designed to focus on individuals who can be classified as an online shopper with a range of age of 18-35 years old. The results show that the millennial generation is influenced by the social environment and habits in shaping their behavioral intention. Millennial consumers are also proving very concerned about their perceived risk of financial, performance, and privacy issues when doing online shopping. Interestingly, six of the factors studied (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, and perceived risk) do not have any influence on the intention to use online commerce technology.
Challenge Stressors, Work Engagement, and Affective Commitment Among Chinese Public Servants

Drawing on the transactional theory of stress and the person–situation interactionist perspective, we theorize that the indirect effect of challenge stressors on affective commitment through work engagement is moderated by the joint effects of core self-evaluations and perceived organizational support. In a sample of 226 Chinese public servants, we tested a new moderated moderated (three-way) mediation model using structural equation modeling. Our results show that challenge stressors positively influence work engagement, which has a significant positive effect on affective commitment. Moreover, the indirect effect of challenge stressors is maximized when both perceived organizational support and core self-evaluations are high.

Anomalous sublimation passivation of nanotwinned silver particles

Metal sublimation plays a crucial role in understanding natural phenomena, purification and advanced manufacturing. Herein, we report anomalous sublimation passivation of nanotwinned silver particles under e-beam irradiation through in situ transmission electron microscopy, wherein the sublimation velocity is reduced by three-quarters due to the formation of five-fold twins. Theoretical calculations reveal that this sublimation passivation mechanism is mainly related to the increment in sublimation energy by the presence of twin boundaries. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT Differing from traditional cognition of defect-assisted sublimation, anomalous sublimation passivation of nanotwinned silver particles under e-beam irradiation has firstly been identified in terms of TEM observations and DFT calculations.
Organizational Motivations for Green Practices in Casual Restaurants

ABSTRACT Even though the restaurant industry uses vast amounts of resources, a paucity of research exists that discusses restaurant sustainability issues from the supply point of view. This study surveys casual restaurant managers in the South West part of the U.S. about current green practices and motivations for the practices. Overall, most practices were related to water efficiency, waste management, and recycling. The study revealed that restaurants failed to commit to large capital investments and green certification. Instead, they focused on implementing green practices that reduce costs and provide favorable impressions to customers. However, restaurants with formal sustainability policies showed more involvement in green practices and engaged more in measuring outcomes and motivating and training their employees.
