Novelty/Originality of this study: This is the first paper to jointly analyze clarity of the new perspective and conceptualization of organizational justice (OJ) and positive organizational behavior (POB).
EFFECT OF GINGER ON TESTICULAR TISSUE OF ADULT MALE ALBINO RATS TREATED WITH MONO SODIUM GLUTAMATE (LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDIES)

Background: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is one of the most widely used food-additives in commercial foods. The excessive MSG administration may lead to damage of many organs including the testes. Ginger is medicinal plant, medically used for its antioxidant protection activity and it has a beneficial effect on male reproductive functions. Aim of the study: This study was performed to find out the effect of MSG on the histology of the seminiferous tubules of adult albino rats and possibility of recovery without treatment and administration of ginger. Material and methods: sixty adult male albino rats were divided into three equal main groups, each of which included 20 rats. Control group (C) kept without treatment, treated group (T) which divided into two subgroups (T1): which were given monosodium glutamate daily orally for 14 days. (T2): which were given monosodium glutamate daily orally and ginger daily orally for 14 days. Recovery group (R) which divided into two subgroups, (R1): which subdivided into two subgroups:(R1a) & (R1b): which were given monosodium glutamate daily for 14 days followed by 6and 13 days without treatment sequentially. (R2): subdivided into two subgroups:(R2a) & (R2b): which were given monosodium glutamate daily and ginger for 14 days followed by continuous treatment with ginger only for 6 and 13days sequentially. Results: MSG causing alteration in the histological of testicular tissues. The testicular damage caused by MSG is reversible without treatment or with administration of Ginger. Conclusion: Ginger has protective effects against MSG on the rat testicular tissue.
Hydrothermal (200°C) synthesis and crystal chemistry of iron-rich kaolinites

Abstract: In order to study Al-Fe substitution, Fe-kaolinites were synthesized at 200°C from glasses (Si/(Al + Fe) = 1) with varying Fe content. XRD and IR spectroscopy showed that kaolinites with increasing Fe contents could be synthesized, and Mössbauer spectroscopy indicated that the iron is strictly ferric. Chemical analyses (STEM) of kaolinite particles determined up to almost 7% Fe2O3, which probably does not represent a structural limit. The effect of Fe3+ content is evident on growth kinetics and particle size of kaolinites, both decreasing with % Fe2O3. However, it is not possible to establish a general correlation between Fe content and percentage of structural defects. Acccording to IR spectroscopy, some synthesized Fe-rich kaolinites can have relatively good crystallinity.
Attitudes to Renewable Energy Technologies: Driving Change in Early Adopter Markets

This paper explores the motivations behind the adoption of key renewable energy technologies in an early adopter market. Notwithstanding their social benefits, uptake of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and solar photovoltaic panels remains low, necessitating targeted measures to address this. We conducted a comprehensive survey of a nationally representative sample of Irish households and analysed this rich dataset using pairwise group comparisons and a factor analysis combined with a logit regression model. We found fundamental differences between adopters and non-adopters. Current adopters tend to be younger, more educated, of higher socio-economic status, and more likely to live in newer buildings of generous size than non-adopters. Environmental attitudes are an insufficient predictor of uptake - whilst non-adopters self-report as being more sustainable, adopters believe that their own decisions impact climate change. Importantly, social processes will be instrumental in future uptake. Word-of-mouth recommendation will matter greatly in communicating the use and benefits of technologies as evident from the significantly larger social networks that current adopters enjoy. Using these insights, policy incentives can be designed according to public preferences.
Amelioration of Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Enzymes Status in the Serum and Erythrocytes of Phenylhydrazine-Induced Anemic Male Rats: The Protective Role of Artichoke Extract (Cynara scolymus L.)

BACKGROUND: Hemolytic anemia is a disorder characterized by the premature erythrocytes destruction. Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which causes hemolytic anemia. Cynara scolymus due to its antioxidant compounds, has been used for various therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of Cynara scolymus extract on PHZ -induced anemia in male rats. METHODS: Hemolytic anemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of PHZ (40 mg/kg) for 2 days. Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups. Group 1 (normal control). Group 2 (anemic control) received only PHZ. The groups 3 to 5 were injected with 100, 200, 400 mg/kg of the Cynara scolymus by gavage, respectively, daily from day 2 to day 15 after PHZ administration. At the end of the treatment period, blood samples were collected to assess hematological parameters, malondialdehyde (MDA) level and antioxidant enzymes activity, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the serum and erythrocytes. RESULTS: In anemic rats, serum and erythrocytes MDA level increased, but SOD and TAC activity de- creased significantly when compared with control group (p ≤ 0.05). These changes were ameliorated by treat- ment with Cynara scolymus at different doses (p ≤ 0.05). Also, improvement in several hematological param- eters was observed in anemic rats after administration of Cynara scolymus (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Cynara scolymus extract exhibits protective property against PHZ-induced oxidative stress presumably due to antioxidative activity.
X-ray image based pneumonia classification using convolutional neural networks

Pneumonia is an infectious disease of the lungs. About one third to one half of pneumonia cases are caused by bacteria. Early diagnosis is a critical factor for a successful treatment process. Typically, the disease can be diagnosed by a radiologist using chest X-ray images. In fact, chest X-rays are currently the best available method for diagnosing pneumonia. However, the recognition of pneumonia symptoms is a challenging task that relies on the availability of expert radiologists. Such “human” diagnosis can be inaccurate and subjective due to lack of clarity and erroneous decision. Moreover, the error can increase more if the physician is requested to analyze tens of X-rays within a short period of time. Therefore, Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems were introduced to support and assist physicians and make their efforts more productive. In this paper, we investigate, design, implement and assess customized Convolutional Neural Networks to overcome the image-based Pneumonia classification problem. Namely, ResNet-50 and DenseNet-161 models were inherited to design customized deep network architecture and improve the overall pneumonia classification accuracy. Moreover, data augmentation was deployed and associated with standard datasets to assess the proposed models. Besides, standard performance measures were used to validate and evaluate the proposed system.
Customer Satisfaction as A Result of Combination of Food Display & Quality

Nowadays, visualization of food appearance has become an important factor in influencing customer satisfaction which is creating an unforgettable experience when people visit to the restaurant. The aspect of visualizing the appearance of food must also be balanced by good food quality in the restaurant. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of visualization of food appearance and food quality in achieving customer satisfaction in Tutup Panci Bistro. In this study, visualization of food appearance has five important factors that support in achieving customer satisfaction, which are; component of the material used, color selection, food texture, shape and size, and layout. Therefore, in previous study, quality of food has three important factors, which are: the taste of food, the variety of menus, and the nutritional content of food. The methodology used in this study was quantitative and qualitative, whereas, quantitative data collection was obtained through questionnaires to guests at Tutup Panci Bistro. Meanwhile, qualitative data is obtained through interviews with food influencers/reviewers. Based on the results obtained, appearance and quality of food have a significant positive influence towards customer satisfaction at Tutup Panci Bistro.
Intracranial Cerebral Blood Flow in Patients with Chronic Headache in a Sample of Patients in Aswan.

Introduction: Recent studies indicated that migraine is associated with specific vascular risk profile. However, the functional and structural vascular abnormalities in migraine are rarely addressed. objectives: of the present study is to evaluate cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocities using transcranial Doppler (TCD) during an attackfree period in anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries in migraine patients without aura (MwoA) as well as in chronic tensiontype headache (TH) patients who were not receiving prophylactic medication for their headaches, in a sample of patients attended to outpatient clinic in Aswan university hospitals. Methods: A total of 50 subjects (32 females, 18 males), Migraine (20), Tension headache group (20), Control group (10), Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) of middle cerebral artery (MCA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA), End diastolic velocity (EDV) Pulsatility index (PI), Resistivity index (RI) were calculated for all groups. Results: Mean SD for age in years in MwoA group was 32.75 ± 9.6 and in TH group was 32.75 ± 9.6 and in control group was 35.20 ± 8.6. Also M: F ratio was 3:1 in MwoA, TCD Parameters of Anterior Circulation for MCA show significant difference in PSV between MwoA group and TH group and also between MwoA group and control group but no significant difference between TH group and either group the same was for EDV, in ACA only significant difference in PSV between MwoA group and control group.
The mechanism of the electrical breakdown of air in uniform fields at voltages up to 400 kv

Measurements of pre-breakdown ionization currents in uniform fields in dry air at pressures of about 1600 torr were carried out over a range of voltages from 165 kv to over 400 kv, corresponding to a range of values of the parameter p20d (p20 is the pressure reduced to 20°c and d is the electrode separation) from 500 to 12 600 torr cm. Over the whole range investigated the spatial growth of ionization was found to be in accordance with the well-known generalized Townsend equation. Moreover, at a value of p20ds of 12 200 torr cm (ds is the sparking distance), the sparking potential of 408 ± 9 kv predicted by using the Townsend breakdown criterion was in good agreement with the experimentally measured value of 4034 ± 05 kv. In these experiments the gas pressure and electrode separation were chosen so that the maximum value of the field used was less than about 60 kv cm-1. At this value field emission was negligible compared with the externally generated initial current I0 (similar 10-12 A), and values of I0 of this magnitude were shown, experimentally, not to give rise to significant space-charge effects in the measurement of pre-breakdown ionization. The values of the secondary ionization coefficient ω/ά were found to be markedly dependent on the state of the cathode surface showing that, just as at lower pressures and voltages, the cathode plays an important role in the breakdown process. At higher pressures (similar 5000 torr) and higher pre-breakdown fields (similar 100 kv cm-1) field emission currents of about 10-10 A were observed, which can be accounted for on the basis of the Fowler-Nordheim equation modified to take account of the presence of a thin insulating surface film: this work is currently being extended to the investigation of breakdown in these conditions, when space-charge distortion of the applied field due to high field emission from small cathode areas may become important.
Measuring Dielectric Properties of Ceramic Powders at Microwave Frequencies for Material Processing Applications

Ceramic powders are commonly used as precursors for several ceramic part manufacturing processes. Their dielectric characterization is necessary for all the cases where electromagnetic radiation is used to induce heating. In support of such activities at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the present work introduces a technique for measuring the complex dielectric constants of ceramic powders at microwave frequencies. The data produced by this technique is critical for the proper modeling of ceramic powder microwave absorption and will assist in ongoing research into volumetric microwave sintering. This technique involves a transmission line measurement using a network analyzer and waveguide setup. Dielectric parameters are then extracted from these measurements using two established methods. Complex relative permittivity measurements are presented for ceramic powders ofyttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), barium titanate (BaTiO3), zinc oxide (ZnO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) as well as a method for containing the sample shape during measurement. Experiments were carried out between 25 and 40GHz; in the Ka microwave band. Experimental results suggest that the dielectric constant (ε′) of these powders are similar to those of bulk. Results are compared to lower frequency reference data showing reasonable agreement.
Resilience and Trauma in the Southern Border Conflict Region of Saudi Arabia

Objective: People living in and near war zones are relatively likely to experience trauma, with increased exposure to war being associated with increased risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as depression, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. However, resilience has been found to be a protective factor against both trauma and depression. This study examined the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis and symptoms, depression, anxiety and resilience in a sample of Saudi residents living at the southern border. Method: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was used to collect data online from 367 Saudis (92% male). The DSM-5 Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used to measure the key psychological variables. The relationships among the psychological measures were examined using Pearson’s correlation coefficients. To test group differences, Chi-square for contingency, independent samples t -tests and one-way analysis of variance were used (146 respondents with scores indicating post-traumatic stress disorder versus otherwise). Results : The majority of respondents (72%) reported at least one traumatic event at some point in their lives. Almost 40% fully met the PTSD DSM-5 symptom criteria for PTSD diagnosis; 45% and 60% reported anxiety and depression respectively, and a significant correlation was found between post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety ( r= .52; p < 0.001) and depression ( r= .49; p < 0.001) respectively. The mean resilience score was 19.84 (range: 0–40), and it was negatively associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, with educational attainment appearing to enhance resilience. Conclusion : Future research using mixed methods should be conducted to find ways to protect Saudis in conflict regions from negative mental health outcomes, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms.
Incorporation of Capillary-Like Structures into Dermal Cell Sheets Constructed by Magnetic Force-Based Tissue Engineering

One of the major challenges in tissue engineering remains the construction of vascularized 3D transplants in vitro. We recently proposed novel technologies, termed “magnetic force-based tissue engineering” (Mag-TE), to establish three-dimensional (3D) tissues without using scaffolds. Magnetite cationic liposomes (MCLs), which contain 10-nm magnetite nanoparticles in order to improve accumulation of magnetite nanoparticles in target cells, were used to magnetically label normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). Magnetically labeled NHDFs were seeded onto ultralow-attachment plates. When a magnet was placed under the plate, cells accumulate on the bottom of the well. After a 24-h-incubation period, the cells form a sheet-like structure, which contains the major dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) components (fibronectin and type I collagen) within the NHDF sheet. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with NHDF sheets by two methods: HUVECs and NHDFs were mixed and then allowed to form cell sheets by Mag-TE; or NHDF sheets were constructed by Mag-TE and HUVECs were subsequently seeded onto NHDF sheets. These methods gave tube-like formation of HAECs, resembling early capillaries, within or on the surface NHDF sheets after short-term 3D co-culture, thus suggesting that Mag-TE may be useful for constructing 3D-tissue involving capillaries.

Stabilization of filled polysiloxane elastomers to cyclic stress at elevated temperature through use of zinc oxide fillers

The susceptibility of filled polysiloxane elastomers to cyclic stress at elevated temperatures is investigated. It is shown that zinc oxide fillers, unlike other fillers examined previously, can produce filled elastomers with remarkable stability to combined mechanical and thermal stresses. The influences of filler concentration, diphenylsiloxane incorporation, and molecular weight between network crosslinks are examined. The data demonstrate that the elastomer stability to cyclic stress at elevated temperature increases with increasing filler content and does not correlate with diphenylsiloxane content. It is suggested that chemical interactions between the polysiloxane network and the filler surfaces control the response to cyclic stress at elevated temperature and that the response strongly depends on the type of filler selected. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Performance Characteristics of Radiographic equipment in Selected Healthcare Institutions in Southwest Nigeria

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of radiographic equipment performance is the recommended strategy for the verification of factors used in radiodiagnosis. Sometimes, the performance of the equipment is compromised due to the lack of adoption of the appropriate procedures and/or techniques. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the performance quality of the radiographic equipment in the study area in order to optimize the radiation dose delivered to the patients using these facilities and enhance their safety. METHODS: The performance characteristic of selected radiographic equipment was determined using MagicMax quality control kits and test object. Radiographic equipment in eight selected radiodiagnostic centers designated as C1-C8 was assessed. RESULTS: The results showed that all the radiography units in the studied centers passed the kVp reproducibility and mAs linearity tests with the exception of center C2. The kVp deviation for the centers varied between 2.0 and 7.7%, with the highest deviation in center C5 and lowest value in center C6. Center C7 has the highest deviation (–13%) of mAs, while the lowest value was obtained in center C6 (0%). The dose was lowest in center C1 and highest in center C3. The half-value layer, mAs, and filtration values had a stronger correlation with the incident air kerma dose compared to the other parameters. In addition, 50% of the equipment passed all the performance tests. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that the performance characteristics of radiographic equipment in the studied area require improvement. Periodic monitoring of the equipment performance is recommended for adoption and enforcement to enhance quality practices and radiation safety.

Utilization of mechanistic modelling and simulation to analyse fenspiride proarrhythmic potency – Role of physiological and other non‐drug related parameters

Fenspiride, a drug that had been used for decades for the treatment of respiratory diseases, was recently withdrawn from the market due to the potential risk of QT prolongation and proarrhythmia. This is the first such withdrawal for many years and hence poses a question whether such risk could have been predicted and to what degree non‐drug‐specific parameters play a role in the reported QT prolongation and cases of TdP. The study aim was to test various ‘what–if’ scenarios to assess the influence of age, gender, heart rate, and plasma potassium concentration on QT interval prolongation due to various doses of fenspiride with the use of mechanistic mathematical modelling.
