Efficacy Of Eel Cookies On Improving Nutritional Status Of Pregnant Women With Chronic Energy Defifiency

A high prevalence chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women exist in Indonesia, which approximately 16.2%. The government had made various efforts to eliminate CED in pregnant women. Therefore, our study aimed to analyze the efficacy of eel cookies on improving nutritional status of pregnant women with CED risk. An experiment with a pre-post design of 36 pregnant women with risk of CED in Ciletuh, Sukabumi was carried out for 30 days. Pregnant women in intervention group were given eel cookies, while control group were given cookies without eel. At the beginning and end of the study, MUAC were measured and food intake was assessed through a 24 hour recall. The research data was analysed using t-test, Mann-Whitney test and chi square. Significant difference in body weight between intervention and control groups was not found (p > 0.05). The mean bodyweight in intervention group after intervention (48.5) was higher than in control group (48.3). The Mean bodyweight and MUAC in the two groups before and after intervention also did not show a significant difference (p> 0.05). The risk of CED in pregnant women who received eel cookies were lower compared to the control group. Consumption of eel cookies can reduce CED risk in pregnant women by 35%, while cookies without eel only reduce the risk by 29.4%. Eel cookies had higher efficacy compared to cookies without eel on reducing CED risk in pregnant women.
Effect of exercise on blood glucose levels in type 2 uncomplicated diabetes mellitus patients: A pilot comparative study from a tertiary care center of north India

Study Design: Comparative pilot study. Objective: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a very common disease affecting Indian population and exercise is an effective method to control blood sugar levels. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the positive effect of exercise in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department of Patna Medical College and Hospital on the role of exercise in patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A total of 40 patients were recruited for the study and divided into two groups- study and control group; 20 patients in each group. Result: The study shows that exercising in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus according to the designed protocol is safe, tolerable and effective, leading to decrease in blood glucose level. It was not surprising that reduction in blood glucose level was associated with a functional improvement and has been documented with the statistically significant differences blood glucose level on most of the scales. Conclusion: We can say that supervised exercising in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus under the condition described in this study seems to be a safe and effective treatment, with no associated systemic repercussions or complications. Nonetheless, further study and clinical trials are needed to confirm the results observed. It may be an error to limit to exercising as a single treatment. It can be applicable as a carrier or a co- adjuvant of other established therapeutic methods and diet modifications.

On a Convergence Theorem for the General Noor Iteration Process in Uniformly Smooth Banach Spaces

In this paper, two different classes of mappings namely, uniformly continuous asymptotically nonexpansive and uniformly continuous asymptotically demicontractive mappings are considered on the general modified Noor iteration process with errors and proved to converge strongly to the fixed point of uniformly continuous asymptotically demicontractive mappings in uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The new result can be viewed as an improvement to a multitude of results in the fixed point theory especially those of Xu and Noor [8], Owojori and Imoru [5] and also the results of Owojori [6].
Understanding risk factors associated with self-harm behavior in adolescents - HBSC

Self-harm behaviors have been increasing systematically, particularly in adolescents. The national HBSC study evaluated the prevalence of self-harm behaviors and associated risk factors in Portuguese adolescents. The sample consisted of 5695 adolescents, of whom 46.1% were boys, with a mean age of 15 years. The results showed that 18% reported having experienced self-harm behavior. Regarding the risk factors associated with "selfharm", it was found that young people, with more symptoms, more depression, more unhappy, with lower quality of life, worse relationship with their parents and absence of family support were more likely to have engaged in self-harm behaviors.
Synthesizing “sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene polymer/Fe” nanocomposite for adsorption of Mn (II) and Zn (II) ions from the waste of alkaline battery recycling factories: kinetic, thermodynamic and isotherm adsorption studies

Recycling of alkaline batteries releases toxic and life-threatening ions to the environment. Different methods were studied to eliminate these pollutants from wastewaters. In this study, for the first time, a novel and high porous iron nanocomposite with the sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene polymer was synthesized and was applied to eliminate Mn and Zn ions from wastewater of battery recycling factories. Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscope showed that a porous nanocomposite with an iron particle size of less than 100 nm was prepared. Subsequently, synthesized nanocomposite was used for adsorption of Mn and Zn ions. After optimizing adsorption parameters with standard solutions, the optimized parameters were applied for kinetic, thermodynamic, and isotherm adsorption study of real wastewater. The adsorption kinetics was modeled by first and second-order rate models and the results indicate that the second-order kinetics model was well-suited to model the kinetic adsorption of Zn and Mn ions. The thermodynamic study illustrated a spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process for both Mn and Zn ions. Isotherm studies indicated reasonable compatibility of the Freundlich model with adsorption of zinc ions. However, the Langmuir model was compatible with manganese adsorption. Consequently, synthesized nanocomposite showed reasonable characteristics for adsorption of zinc and manganese from wastewater.
A composite neonatal adverse outcome indicator using population-based data: an update

Abstract Introduction Severe morbidity rates in neonates can be estimated using diagnosis and procedure coding in linked routinely collected retrospective data as a cost-effective way to monitor quality and safety of perinatal services. Coding changes necessitate an update to the previously published composite neonatal adverse outcome indicator for identifying infants with severe or medically significant morbidity. Objectives To update the neonatal adverse outcome indicator for identifying neonates with severe or medically significant morbidity, and to investigate the validity of the updated indicator. Methods We audited diagnosis and procedure codes and used expert clinician input to update the components of the indicator. We used linked birth, hospital and death data for neonates born alive at 24 weeks or more in New South Wales, Australia (2002–2014) to describe the incidence of neonatal morbidity and assess the validity of the updated indicator. Results The updated indicator included 28 diagnostic and procedure components. In our population of 1,194,681 live births, 5.44% neonates had some form of morbidity. The rate of morbidity was greater for higher-risk pregnancies and was lowest for those born at 39–40 weeks’ gestation. Incidence increased over the study period for overall neonatal morbidity, and for individual components: intravenous infusion, respiratory diagnoses, and non-invasive ventilation. Severe or medically significant neonatal morbidity was associated with double the risk of hospital readmission and 10 times the risk of death within the first year of life. Conclusion The updated composite indicator has maintained concurrent and predictive validity and is a standardised, economic way to measure neonatal morbidity when using population-based data. Changes within individual components should be considered when examining longitudinal data.
Self-construal priming reconsidered: Comparing effects of two commonly used primes in the UK and China

Self-construal priming was devised to mimic the effects of chronic cross-cultural differences. Primes designed to activate independent/interdependent self-construals have been found to affect numerous culturally relevant outcomes. However, researchers have rarely checked precisely what these primes activated, nor tested their cross-cultural equivalence. We compared two common priming tasks, Similarities vs. Differences with Family and Friends (SDFF) and Sumerian Warrior Story (SWS), across seven dimensions of independence/interdependence among 118 British and 178 Chinese participants. The two tasks activated different combinations of self-construal dimensions. SWS showed a similar pattern of effects across cultures, whereas SDFF more strongly affected Chinese participants. Neither manipulation closely mimicked the pattern of pre-existing cross-cultural differences between samples. We propose researchers should develop more precisely targeted self-construal primes.
Chromosomes of parasitic wasps of the superfamily Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera): An overview

Abstract An overview of the current knowledge of chromosome sets of the parasitoid superfamily Chalcidoidea is given. Karyotypes of approximately 240 members of this group, i.e. just above one percent of described species, are studied up to now. Techniques for obtaining and analyzing preparations of chalcid chromosomes are outlined, including the so-called “traditional” and “modern” methods of differential staining as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Among the Chalcidoidea, the haploid chromosome number can vary from n = 3 to n = 11, with a clear mode at n = 6 and a second local maximum at n = 10. In this group, most chromosomes are either metacentric or submetacentric, but acrocentrics and/or subtelocentrics also can predominate, especially within karyotypes of certain Chalcidoidea with higher chromosome numbers. The following main types of chromosomal mutations are characteristic of chalcid karyotypes: inversions, fusions, translocations, polyploidy, aneuploidy and B chromosome variation. Although karyotype evolution of this superfamily was mainly studied using phylogenetic reconstructions based on morphological and/or molecular characters, chromosomal synapomorphies of certain groups were also revealed. Taxonomic implications of karyotypic features of the Chalcidoidea are apparently the most important at the species level, especially among cryptic taxa.
Non-invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring of Fluid Resuscitation in Cirrhotic Patients with Acute Kidney Injury

BACKGROUND: Fluid management of patients with liver cirrhosis and acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex problem requiring accurate assessment of the intravascular volume status and the cause of the AKI. Echocardiography used in various hemodynamic monitoring as a quick, easy, bedside, and non-invasive tool with great sensitivity. AIM: This study aims to evaluate echocardiography as a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring tool for the assessment of volume status and cardiac function before and after volume expansion in patients with liver cirrhosis presented by AKI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 120 patients with liver cirrhosis and AKI. All patients were subjected to clinical evaluation, laboratory assessment of kidney and liver functions, and echocardiographic assessment of inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index, left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VTI) variability index, and cardiac output (CO). RESULTS: Comparison between responders and non-responders to volume resuscitation regarding the echocardiographic data showed that responders had significantly higher IVC collapsibility index, LVOT VTI variability index, and % of CO increase. IVC collapsibility index and LVOT VTI variability index showed good predictive value of fluid responsiveness. CONCLUSIONS: The use of echocardiography is a good tool for hemodynamic monitoring of fluid resuscitation in cirrhotic patients with AKI. The use of echocardiography has limited the use of central venous line only to patients with hemodynamic instability requiring vasoactive support.
Role of dietary energy source in the expression of chronic exertional myopathies in horses

Muscle disorders characterized by the development of pain and stiffness during and after exercise (exertional rhabdomyolysis, ER) are common in horses. Two heritable forms of chronic ER have been identified: 1) polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM), a condition characterized in quarter horses and related breeds, but also reported to occur in other breeds; and 2) recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) in Thoroughbreds. Although the pathophysiology of PSSM and RER are different, there is epidemiological and experimental evidence that feeding diets rich in hydrolyzable carbohydrates (starch and simple sugars) enhances the phenotypic expression of both disorders. The PSSM is characterized by increased insulin sensitivity, excessive muscle glycogen storage, and the accumulation of amylase-resistant polysaccharide in muscle. The feeding of concentrates rich in hydrolyzable carbohydrates may enhance disease expression by increasing the quantity of glucose available for muscle glycogen synthesis. On the other hand, diets rich in starches and simples sugars may increase clinical expression of RER via enhancement of stress and anxiety, factors known to increase the risk of ER in horses with RER. A decrease in the frequency and severity of ER has been observed when horses with PSSM and RER are fed diets with reduced DE from hydrolyzable carbohydrates (<10 to 15% of total diet) and increased DE from fat (15 to 20%) and other energy sources, such as beet pulp and soybean hulls.
Association of Practice of Sports in and out-of-school with Scholar Performance – Evidence from Moscow and Saint Petersburg: a Longitudinal Study

Introduction: It is well known the maxim mens sana in corpore sano (a sound mind in a healthy body), which suggests a positive nexus between sports and educational outcomes. However, this nexus has been empirically studied mostly in the USA, where the results are mixed, even suggesting that participation in sports may negatively influence educational outcomes. Objective: This article empirically studies the relationship between sport activities at school and out-of-school and educational achievements of school students from 1st to 11th grade in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Russia. Methods: This was a longitudinal observational study, that used data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey, annual observations covering the period 2010-2015 and 1529 observations were examined. Associations were examined using ordered probit regressions with panel data. Results: Sport activities at school do not have statistically significant links with school grades. Conversely, sport activities out-of-school are positively associated with educational achievements. Specifically, in the case of boys, participation in ball sports increases their probabilities of having obtained higher school grades. For girls, participation in other sports out-or-hours school increases those probabilities. However, spending more than 10 hours on sports reduces those likelihoods. Conclusion: Parents and teachers should encourage the participation of their children in sport activities; this will benefit their educational outcomes. However, the practice of sports at school is irrelevant, indicating that policy makers should restore the quality of physical education classes.

Optical Camera Communications: Principles, Modulations, Potential and Challenges

Optical wireless communications (OWC) are emerging as cost-effective and practical solutions to the congested radio frequency-based wireless technologies. As part of OWC, optical camera communications (OCC) have become very attractive, considering recent developments in cameras and the use of fitted cameras in smart devices. OCC together with visible light communications (VLC) is considered within the framework of the IEEE 802.15. 7m standardization. OCCs based on both organic and inorganic light sources as well as cameras are being considered for low-rate transmissions and localization in indoor as well as outdoor short-range applications and within the framework of the IEEE 802.15. 7m standardization together with VLC. This paper introduces the underlying principles of OCC and gives a comprehensive overview of this emerging technology with recent standardization activities in OCC. It also outlines the key technical issues such as mobility, coverage, interference, performance enhancement, etc. Future research directions and open issues are also presented.

The reliability of diarylheptanoids as chemotaxonomic markers at interand intraspecific levels has been investigated. Six diarylheptanoids were quantified in bark ethanol extracts of four Alnus spp. populations by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The populations described here as locus classicus Alnus glutinosa (I) and locus classicus Alnus incana (III) are clearly differentiated. Compared to population I, individuals in population III have higher extract yields and hirsutanonol-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside content and lower contents of hirsutanonol, rubranoside A and oregonin. Individuals from neighboring populations of A. glutinosa (II) and A. incana (IV) share similar contents of hirsutanonol. All the studied populations exhibit a high intrapopulation variability of the selected diarylheptanoids; they have a heterogeneous chemotype and they partially overlap. The geographical proximity of populations II and IV increases their chemical similarity. Principal component analysis (PCA) clearly shows that the biggest dispersion of individuals lies within population IV. The reason for its heterogeneity might be its physical proximity to population II, i.e. the appearance of hybrids. Also, geometric morphometrics of leaves was performed as a screening criterion for spontaneous hybrids.
J un 2 02 0 ORTHOGONAL l 1-SETS AND EXTREME NON-ARENS REGULARITY OF PREDUALS OF VON NEUMANN ALGEBRAS

We propose a new definition for a Banach algebra A to be extremely non-Arens regular, namely that the quotient A/WAP(A) of A ∗ with the space of its weakly almost periodic elements contains an isomorphic copy of A. This definition is simpler and formally stronger than the original one introduced by Granirer in the nineties. We then identify sufficient conditions for the predual V∗ of a von Neumann algebra V to be extremely non-Arens regular in this new sense. These conditions are obtained with the help of orthogonal l1-sets of V∗. We show that some of the main algebras in harmonic analysis satisfy these conditions. Among them, there is (i) the weighted semigroup algebra of any weakly cancellative discrete semigroup, for any diagonally bounded weight, (ii) the weighted group algebra of any non-discrete locally compact infinite group and for any weight, (iii) the weighted measure algebra of any locally compact infinite group, for any diagonally bounded weight, (iv) the Fourier algebra of any locally compact infinite group having its local weight greater or equal than its compact covering number, (v) the Fourier algebra of any countable discrete group containing an infinite amenable subgroup.
