Ca2+/Na+ Ratio as a Critical Marker for Field Evaluation of Saline-Alkaline Tolerance in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Current indices of saline-alkaline (SA) tolerance are mainly based on the traditional growth and physiological indices for salinity tolerance and likely affect the accuracy of alfalfa tolerance predictions. We determined whether the inclusion of soil alkalinity-affected indices, particularly Ca2+, Mg2+, and their ratios to Na+ in plants, based on the traditional method could improve the prediction accuracy of SA tolerance in alfalfa, determine important indices for SA tolerance, and identify suitable alfalfa cultivars in alkaline salt-affected soils. Fifty alfalfa cultivars were evaluated for their SA tolerance under SA and non-SA field conditions. The SA-tolerance coefficient (SATC) for each investigated index of the alfalfa shoot was calculated as the ratio of SA to non-SA field conditions, and the contribution of SATC under different growth and physiological indices to SA tolerance was quantified based on the inclusion/exclusion of special alkalinity-affected indices. The traditional method, excluding the special alkalinity-affected indices, explained nearly all of the variation in alfalfa SA tolerance, and the most important predictor was the SATC of stem length. The new method, which included these special alkalinity-affected indices, had similar explanatory power but instead identified the SATC of shoot Ca2+/Na+ ratio, followed by that of stem length, as key markers for the field evaluation of SA tolerance. Ca2+, Mg2+, and their ratios to Na+ hold promise for enhancing the robustness of SA-tolerance predictions in alfalfa. These results encourage further investigation into the involvement of Ca2+ in such predictions in other plant species and soil types under more alkaline salt-affected conditions.
Insight into modern-day plagiarism: The science of pseudo research

In today's world, when there is a rapid surge of biomedical publications, maintaining research integrity of articles is of prime importance. It is expected that the submitted work is genuine of submitting authors'. Ease in the availability of these digitally published biomedical papers and pressure to publish for academic and professional advancement had resulted in numerous novice scientists and students falling into unethical practice of plagiarizing others' work to get the job done quickly. Plagiarists are continuously in search of finding new and easy ways to plagiarize someone else's work, currently seen as different forms of plagiarism. Hence, this narrative review intends to help young and upcoming researchers to understand plagiarism, its type, the reason for plagiarists getting involved in that, and possible ways to detect and prevent it.
Mediating Role of Social Media in the Memorability of Street Sculpture Art: Jogja Street Sculpture Project 2017 as Case Study

Street sculpture art is sculpture that is deliberately presented in public spaces. The Jogja Street Sculpture Art 2017 event chose the Kotabaru area as a public space in which to display statues. There were various forms of public responses to the statues. The physical environment where a statue is placed is the primary field and the awareness of sculptures has become increasingly prevalent because pictures of sculptures are increasingly frequently uploaded on social media platforms. Social media has become an important field in which the public can respond to statues without seeing them physically. A statue, whether it inspires discourse or not, can become dominant in the field of social media. Eventually, a gap forms regarding whether a statue is in discourse with other statues. This research study attempts to identify how sculptures have occupied the physical world and social media has helped to determine the sculptures' level of memorability. This study uses the critical discourse analysis (CDA) research method. The results of the analysis show that memorability is influenced by the irregularities of a statue's visual elements, the relationship between the physical environment and the narrated, hyperrealistic historical background and the statue's level of memorability, the last of which is affected by the factor of entertainment. The study concludes that the visual achievement of street sculpture art is no longer seen in terms of the power of the aesthetic elements of a sculpture's visual structure but is influenced and publicised by the power of Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse. Jil. /Vol.18. 2019 96 social media. This means that the content generators of social media have power over the visibility and enjoyment of street sculpture art. Hence, public power has been used as a foundation for social media accounts, regardless of whether the statue itself is memorable.
The Impact of Human Resources on Nurses' Turnover Intention

The Impact of Human Resources on Nurses’ Turnover Intention by Anita E. Jackson MS, Howard University, 2007 BS, Bowie State University, 1999 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy General Psychology Walden University November 2019 Abstract Nurse retention is of great concern to healthcare organizations including hospitals. With so many countries reporting a shortage in nursing personnel, healthcare organizations are now seeking ways to reduce this shortage. It is known that job satisfaction and turnover intention impact nurses’ continued employment. However, the role of human resources (HR) impact on nurses’ job satisfaction and turnover intention is unknown. TheNurse retention is of great concern to healthcare organizations including hospitals. With so many countries reporting a shortage in nursing personnel, healthcare organizations are now seeking ways to reduce this shortage. It is known that job satisfaction and turnover intention impact nurses’ continued employment. However, the role of human resources (HR) impact on nurses’ job satisfaction and turnover intention is unknown. The theoretical basis of this study came from the work of Bowen and Ostroff who argued the strength of HRM system regulates employee perceptions and outcomes within an organization. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact HR service quality had on registered nurses’ turnover intentions mediated by job satisfaction and moderated by gender, in a hospital setting within the state of Maryland. Data was collected from 83 registered nurses licensed in Maryland. A multiple regression analysis of data collected from HR service quality measures of responsiveness, reliability, and empathy in addition to gender, job satisfaction, and turnover intention revealed statistically nonsignificant results involving nurses’ perceptions of HR service quality predicting turnover intention. Job satisfaction failed to mediate the relationship between HR service quality indicators and turnover intention, and gender failed to moderate the relationship between HR service quality indicators and turnover intention. Although the research revealed statistically nonsignificant findings, it adds to the body of literature regarding the topic of HR service quality. This study has social change implications by informing healthcare organizations about the significant role of HR service quality indicators and its impact on nursing job satisfaction and turnover intention.

Stratification of risk of malignancy in atypical breast fine needle aspiration: a cytomorphological approach

Although atypical (C3) breast cytology is a legitimate reporting category, it is not very useful clinically because it yields benign as well as malignant histological outcomes. Therefore, a cytomorphological approach to minimise inappropriate use of the C3 category may improve the clinical usefulness of this category. In a previous training set of 180 atypical breast cytology (C3) cases we had identified the best discriminating cytological criteria to predict the histological outcomes (malignant, benign proliferative and benign non-proliferative). Using a selection of these previously identified statistically significant criteria (cystic background, cohesiveness, myoepithelial cells or bare bipolar nuclei, papillary fragments and tubules) we tested their ability to predict the same outcomes on 182 subsequent C3 cases (validation set). The diagnostic accuracy for each outcome was compared with the training set. A probability calculator with nominated cut-points was developed to stratify and re-grade C3 cases. Cases outside the cut-points were either up-graded to suspicious (C4) or down-graded to benign (C2). Re-graded cases were reviewed to identify reasons for over or under-interpretation. Statistical analysis showed comparable diagnostic accuracy between the training set and the validation set for malignant and benign proliferative outcomes but not for the benign non-proliferative outcome. The probability calculator resulted in an up-grade of 18% (33/182) ofthe cases. Malignant histology was seen in 25/33 (76%) of the up-graded cases but 8/33 (24%) produced a proliferative non-malignant outcome. A meaningful lower cut-point could not be established without including malignant cases. The C3 category remains a legitimate with a heterogeneous mix of pathological entities. Attempts to minimise inappropriate allocation of C3 cases into this category have met with limited success.
31P NMR Spectroscopy in Migraine

The precise mechanisms of the migraine attack are unknown. One hypothesis is that the aura of classical migraine is caused by vasospasm-induced cerebral ischemia, and the headache by increased cerebral blood flow (CBF) from the consequent cerebral acidosis (1). Reports of spreading oligemia during the migraine attack, perhaps secondary to the spreading depression of Leao, have cast doubt on this hypothesis (2). Cerebral metabolic studies have been performed too infrequently to resolve the controversial CBF findings. Therefore, we studied brain high-energy phosphate metabolism and intracellular pH (pH.) in migr@e patients using the recently developed technique of in vivo 31Phohphorus ( P) NMR spectroscopy. Methods The patient groups consisted of 12 patients with common migraine (mean age 37.2 f 12.0 standard deviation, S.D.) of which 100% were female and 8 patients with classic migraine (mean age 37.1 f 13.2 S.D.) of which 75% were female. Results from these patients were compared with those of 27 normal subjects (mean age 45.1 f 17.6 S.D.) 65% of which were female, Eleven patients were studied during a migraine attack between three and 48 hours of the headache onset. The remaining nine were studied interictally. Spectroscopy was performed using a whole body 1.89 Tesla 60 cm clear bore superconducting magnet with an Oxford Research Systems (ORS)/Bruker Biospec console. Confirmation of the signal source was obtained by topical magnetic resonance (TMR). A 7 cm diameter single turn surface coil was used to obtajq signal from a 4 cm spherical source of cerebrum. P NMR spectra were obtained using a 200 msec pulse-length (150 watts) and a spectral width of 4 KHertz with 4K data points, The resulting acquisition time was 0.512 seconds. A recycle delay of 1 second was used giving a total interpulse interval of 1.512 seconds. A total of 256 transients was acquired. Spectral peaks were obtained for phosphomonoesters (PME), inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphodiesters (PDE), phosphocreatine (PCr) and the y, a, P-phosphates of 5’-adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The contribution of each of the peaks in relation to the total phosphorus (TP) spectrum was determined by dividing the area under each peak by the sum of all areas expressed as ratios (mole %). The PCr/Pi ratio was used as a measure of the phosphorylation potential of the tissue. Signal areas of each peak were calculated using triangulation. Intracellular pH was calculated from the chemical shift (6) between the PCr and Pi resonances using the formula: 63.29 5.586 pH = 6.77 + log
The Use of Ultrasound in Planned Cesarean Delivery Under Spinal Anesthesia for Patients Having Nonprominent Anatomic Landmarks

(J Clin Anesth. 2017;37:82–85)Ultrasound (US) guidance for neuraxial procedures is simple, noninvasive, safe, quick, and relatively risk-free. However, there are limited data in the literature about US guidance for neuraxial injections. Consequently, the authors of the present study compared the con
The Allowable Time Approach of the Uncertain Task for Three U-shaped Lines with the Minimum Workstations

UL (U-shaped Line) reduces the waste material in a manufacturing process. This paper presents the application of three U-shaped Lines with the minimum workstations which consists of UL-1, UL-2, and UL-3. The uncertain task of three U-shaped Lines determines the time as an interval. Three U-shaped Lines formulate the model with a binary integer linear programming. Each uncertain task reduces the normal time to the optimism time. The normal time reduction relates to the allowable time inversely. This paper indicates the procedure of the normal time reduction that applies MATLAB R2014a. The allowable time of UL-1, UL-2, and UL-3 for each uncertain task is 1.5 times of the optimistic time, 1.2 times of the optimistic time, and 1 time of the most optimistic time, respectively. For the utility of this paper, the uncertain task adjusts the finish time which does not affect the modification of the minimum number of workstations.
DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION. WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

In the current scenario of increasing social inequality, the debate over the compensation received by directors and executives of large listed companies, and its justification, has intensified. Drawing on Agency Theory and Human Capital Theory, a multilevel analytical technique is used in this paper to examine the influence of firm-level variables and director-level variables on the individual compensation of the members of the board. The results obtained for the continental European context (Spain in particular) partially support the Human Capital Theory. Nevertheless, there is no evidence supportive of Agency Theory, as corporate governance mechanisms do not contribute to moderate the compensation of directors and there is no relationship between corporate performance and the compensation of directors. The analyses by subsamples (categories of directors) reveal that non-executive director’s compensation seems to be set for a group of individuals as a whole, depending mainly on firm-level characteristics, whereas executive director compensation is more based on the unique characteristics that a particular executive brings to the board.
Preliminary Investigation on the Type and Ditribution of Microplastics in the West Coast of Karimun Besar Island

High anthropogenic activity on the west coast of Karimun Besar Island contributes certain amount of wastes, especially plastics. Plastics will be degraded due to natural mechanism to smaller parts and known as microplastics. Small size and wide spread distribution has caused microplastics can be found widely in the waters and coastal areas. This study aims to determine type and abundance of microplastic in sediment on the west coast of Karimun Besar Island. Sampling of sediment for microplastic was determined based on hydrodynamic conditions by placing quadrat in the highest tidal boundary area. Sediment samples were collected in February 2019 using 4 inch PVC pipe from two different depth, i.e 0-10 and 10-20 cm. Separation of microplastic particles from sediments was carried out in Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science University of Riau through several stages, namely (a) drying, (b) separation of densities and (c) sorting visually. The results of the study found only 3 types of microplastic, i.e. fragments, films and fibers. Microplastic abundance in sediments was found between 1976.67-2203.33 particles/kg of sediment with fibers being the dominant type. Fiber has the highest abundance in both depths followed by films and fragments. ANOVA and t-test analysis, showed that the quantity of microplastic between stations and between two different depths were not significantly different (p > 0,05).
Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Therapy in the Patient with a Left Ventricular Assist Device: Still a Black Box

The use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) has become a cornerstone in the therapy of patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes II and III congestive heart failure, as randomized controlled trials have soundly established the lifesaving value of these devices. However, in patients with severe class IV NYHA symptoms or class D disease, the relative risk of sudden cardiac death compared with death from progressive pump failure decreases dramatically, and ICD therapy is not recommended in these individuals.
Impaired recovery of hind limb muscle perfusion following ischemic injury in rodents receiving B vitamin supplementation

Background: B vitamin deficiency has been previously reported to be prevalent in patients with heart failure. However, clinical trials investigating the potential of B vitamin supplementation have failed to show benefit and have suggested some evidence of harm. Negative findings have been hypothesized to be the result of an anti-angiogenic effect associated with B vitamin supplementation. Objective: The current study aimed to determine the impact of vitamin B6 supplementation alone or in combination with folate and B12 on the angiogenic response in a rodent model of hind limb ischemia. Methods: Rats were divided randomly into three groups and fed one of three diets: control diet (CON), high B6 diet (HB6) or high B6+folate+B12 diet (TV). Following five weeks of diet therapy, ischemia was surgically induced in the hind limb. Changes in perfusion and markers of the angiogenic response were studied at either 5 (early) or 10 (late) weeks. Result: Circulating EPCs were reduced in HB6 animals, a finding that reached significance for the TV animals. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed a decline in VEGF and eNOS expression in HB6 and TV groups at week 10. Contrast enhanced ultrasound of the hind limb revealed a significant reduction in perfusion in HB6 and TV animals in comparison to CON at 10 weeks. B vitamin supplementation had no impact on EPC apoptosis or differentiation. Conclusion: Taken together, these results support a negative impact of B vitamin supplementation on the recovery of perfusion following ischemic injury which may be the result of a down-regulation of chemotactic gene expression, leading to lowered EPC recruitment from the bone marrow to the site of ischemic injury.

The result of content validity was 0.695, Cronbach's alpha was 0.756, Person correlation was around 0.40 into 0.60, and inter-rater reliability was 1.00. In addition, the difficulty index of the instrument items was around 20 into 90. It can be concluded that the instrument of intercultural-based English speaking assessment was able to be applied in the teaching of speaking.
A Hybrid machine‐learning method for oil‐immersed power transformer fault diagnosis

This paper presents a hybrid machine‐learning method based on oil‐immersed power transformer fault diagnosis Probability Neural Network (PNN) optimized via a Multi‐Verse Optimizer (MVO) algorithm. PNN is a radial basis function prefeedback neural network based on Bayesian decision theory. It has strong fault tolerance and has significant advantages in pattern classification. However, the performance of PNN is greatly affected by the hidden‐layer unit‐smoothing factor, and the classification result is affected. MVO is a metaheuristic algorithm with strong global convergence. Therefore, the smoothing factor of MVO‐optimized PNN (MVO‐PNN) can effectively improve the fault diagnosis ability. Recent studies have demonstrated the MVO algorithm. We utilize an experiment about the oil data in the power transformer in Jiangxi Province, China. The results show that MVO‐PNN can significantly improve the accuracy of power transformer fault classification and is more efficient than the Cuckoo search algorithm, Bat algorithm, Genetic Algorithm optimization, and other algorithms capabilities in some cases. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Popular Religion Temples in Fujian, Southeast China: The Politics of State Intervention, 1990s–2010s

This article presents an ethnographic examination of state intervention in popular religion temples in Fujian, southeast China. Specifically, it surveys the state presence in four temples, explores how and why the local state adopted a varied approach to religious organizations in the same religious tradition, and examines the mutually legitimating relations of state and religion. State-religion relations are constantly changing, highly variable, and context-bound. The state-religion interactions in Fujian demonstrate that to a certain extent the uneven revitalization of temple-based popular religion shaped, and was shaped by, the degree of state presence. I argue that the performance-based legitimacy of the nation-state has been fortified through local-state projects devoted to religious tourism, intra-religious competition, and the Taiwan issue, and that the Chinese state has the potential to influence a reemerging traditional form of authority at the local level through varying degrees of state presence in religious organizations.
