Work-life balance in home-based businesses: a UK study

Home-based businesses are increasing in number throughout Western economies. One of the benefits of a home-based business is asserted to be improved work–life balance, yet there is little empirical evidence to support this assertion. Using a qualitative methodology, this paper explores the work–life balance in eight home-based businesses in the UK. Motivations for working at home include the desire for improved work–life balance, but the achievement of this aim among the study participants was found to be nuanced. Critically, home-based business is another employment context in which the work–life balance must be managed. This management is especially needed because of the blurring of work and life time and space, which may demand more self-discipline in home-based workers compared with those in employment or self-employment remote from the home.
Gamma Radiation Induces Apoptosis by Over Expression of PERP Effector of p53-dependent Cell Death in HeLa Cells.

The objectives of this study were to determine the configuration of several genes in response to Gamma Radiation (GR) treatment. Novel treatment strategy to increase the cancer cell sensitivity to radiotherapy by modulation of the PERP expression could be developed for cervical cancers. Cervical cancer cells were incubated for several periods after were exposed to various doses of GR, MTT assay were used to explore propagation of HeLa cells, apoptotic Index (AI) were measured using fluorescent microscopy by estimating apoptotic morphological features. While, signalling pathway analyses were performed on up-regulated genes which evaluated using microarray technology. From the results of this study, the proliferation of HeLa cervical cancer cells exposed to GR was inhibited proportionally with dose and time after exposure. Also, apoptotic morphological features, such as shrinkage of the cell and formation of apoptotic bodies, was clearly visible under the microscope for irradiated HeLa cells. after 48 h. exposure to different doses of GR, the dose of 32 Gy was specified as an AI dose. The mRNA levels of pro-apoptotic genes such as, PERP; BAX; CASP9; TRAF3 and other factors detected by microarray after treatment with GR were up-regulated. Whereas, many anti-apoptosis factors were down-regulated. P53 pathway were significantly reinforced after pathway analysis for upand dawnregulated genes. For conclusion, GR induces apoptosis by over expression of PERP factor and p53-dependent cell death in cervical carcinoma HeLa cells.
Determining the appropriate investment strategy and identify the leading monetary system before and during the covid-19 pandemic crisis: A case study of crypto-currency, gold standard, and fiat money

The study has two main objectives: firstly, to examine the opportunity of the Momentum and Contrarian investment strategy for three different monetary systems to trade currencies in Forex markets using Symlet wavelet decomposition approach. Secondly, to examine the co-movements between the three monetary systems using wavelet coherence analysis. The findings indicate that an investor with momentum strategy can consider investing in Bitcoin and Gold market, while the contrarian investment strategy is more advisable for the fiat money market during crisis period. Furthermore, the wavelet coherence analysis indicates that Bitcoin currency is the most leading monetary system during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, followed by gold. However, US dollar mostly leads Bitcoin during non-crisis periods, while Gold is found to lead the US dollar throughout the sample period of the study. This suggests that the cryptocurrency system or gold standard should be considered as the alternative monetary system for better economic stability specially during the crisis period. Moreover, Bitcoin and gold had an anti-phase correlation before the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, which implies better benefits of hedging in the non-crisis period, while during a crisis they are moving together across different horizons. In contrast, Bitcoin and Fiat Money are strongly correlated during non-crisis periods, while during covide-19 pandemic crisis the correlation is statistically insignificant. Overall, the outcomes offer significant guidance for policymakers in understanding which monetary system leads to better economic stability during the crisis period and provides many implications for market players such hedging and Diversification investments strategy in forex markets.
Role of Ponseti Technique of Manipulation In Children with Idiopathic Club Foot Presenting After One Year Of Age. A Retrospective Study

Background: The Ponseti method of manipulation is accepted as a gold standard treatment for idiopathic clubfoot in infants. However, very few studies are available in literature on the use of this method in older children. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Ponseti manipulation technique in the treatment of late presenters of congenital idiopathic club foot deformity. Material and Method: We retrospective evaluated the results of 23 children (15 males and 8 females) with 32 clubfeet deformity presenting after the walking age, which were treated with Ponseti manipulation. The outcome assessment was done by Pirani Score. Quantitative variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and compared between initial and last follow-up scores using the paired t-test. Results: The mean age at presentation was 3.4 (range 1 to 15) years. The mean pre-correction total Pirani score was 4.51 (range 2.5 to 6) which improved to mean post-correction total Pirani score of 0.55 (range 0 to 1). This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In 95% of the feet, satisfactory correction of the deformity was achieved. The mean number of casts applied was 9.2 (range 6 to 16). The mean follow-up duration was 14.2 (range 2 to 21) months. Conclusion: We conclude that the Ponseti technique of manipulation is an effective method for the management of idiopathic clubfoot deformity in older children as well.
Emerging Role of Nutraceuticals in Covid 19

The global pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, claiming thousands of lives each day has brought the world to a standstill. Such devastating and great impact of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is due to unexpectedly rapid spread, which did not allow for much preparedness. The scientists are working hard to come up with a vaccine, but nothing fruitful has been produced so far due to the rapid spread of the virus. Multiple drugs have been tried to target the virus, but no specific drug is there to prevent the spread of virus. Hence, we analysed the role of non-pharmacological substances such as nutraceuticals, probiotics and dietary supplements in reducing the susceptibility and mitigating the symptoms of COVID 19. In current scenario, when there is dearth of specific antiviral agents, theses substances could prove to be great importance due to their easy availability and no known side effects if administered in large doses. Scientific evidence has also suggested the beneficial role of bacterial and molecular products on immune response against the viruses. They could also regulate the inflammatory response and prevent endothelial damage. However, due to lack of specific data, rigorous clinical trials should be conducted to confirm the beneficial role of these supplements, probiotics and nutraceuticals in this period of crises.

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses have been used, through structural equation modeling. The measurement model has presented good adjustment and a unifactorial structure scale named ‘Citizen Relationship’, comprising 13 items.
Variational Automatic Channel Pruning Algorithm Based on Structure Optimization for Convolutional Neural Networks

Channel pruning has achieved remarkable success in solving the significant computation and memory consumption in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Most existing methods measure the importance of channels with manually designed algorithms and pruning unimportant channels rely on heuristics or expertise during the processing, which are labourious and subjective. In this paper, we proposed a Variational Automatic Channel Pruning Algorithm based on structure optimization (VA-CPSO) which can automatically optimize channel numbers via channel scales in end-to-end manner through variational inference. Firstly, a weights generator controlled by channel scales is built to produce weights for various pruned structure of CNN. And then, the channel scales with truncated factorized log-uniform prior and log-normal posterior are optimized by variational inference for optimal pruning structure. Meanwhile, parameters of the weights generator are optimized synchronously. Finally, the acquired optimal structure and corresponding generated weights are deployed in the pruned CNN for further training to achieve high-performance compression. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed VA-CPSO acquires better compression performance compared to existing pruning algorithms. The VA-CPSO achieve a compression of 34.60×, 4.28×, 1.96× and a speedup of 28.20×, 2.03×, 2.02× on LeNet-5, VGGNet, and ResNet-110 with no more than 0.5% loss of accuracy.
Occurrence and aetio-pathological study on interstitial pneumonia of sheep (Ovis aries)

The present study was conducted to evaluate the interstitial pneumonia associated with the bacterial aetiology in sheep from Jaipur Division, Rajasthan. A total of 436 lungs were examined of which 102 lungs (23.40%) found with gross lesions were collected intact for the study. For bacteriological examination, swabs were collected at site of lesion from within tissue parenchyma under sterile conditions. Of the total 102 sheep lungs with clear gross lesions, 79 (77.45 %) lungs were found to harbor bacteria. For pathomorphological evaluation, only those lungs (79) that were found infected with bacteria were considered. Interstitial pneumonia was noticed in 21 (26.50 %) cases. Grossly, lungs were pale to red, heavy and firm, rubbery and cut surface had a meaty appearance and showed frothy exudate from the incised bronchi and bronchioles. Rib impressions were also observed over the costal surface of diaphragmatic lobes. Microscopically, the alveoli were distorted in shape, alveolar septae was thickened with infiltration of mononuclear cells and macrophages. At some places, the alveolar epithelium revealed foetalization with hyperplasia of type-II pneumocytes. In present study, bacteria isolated from lungs with interstitial pneumonia were Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp, Pseudomonas spp, E. coli, Enterobacter spp and Klebsiella spp. mostly as mixed infections with no definite preference to single bacterial specie.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GIST has been shown to over-express c-KIT (CD117), the receptor tyrosine kinase. Imatinib (STI571 or Glivec) is a new type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits various tyrosine kinases and has been successfully used to treat GIST. In this study we have compared the results of F-18 FDG PET with those of CT in patients with GIST before and early after the treatment with Imatinib. Methods: The performance of CT and FDG PET imaging in the staging and follow-up of GIST lesion was retrospectively evaluated and compared in 15 patients with 67 suspicious lesions. All patients were examined before and after treatment with Imatinib. Findings of CT and FDG PET were compared on both patientand lesion-based basis for the whole group and for anatomic locations. Results: Overall 67 lesions were detected in both pre-therapeutic FDG PET and CT imaging. In the pre-treatment studies there was no significant difference between detected lesions on FDG PET and CT (p = 0.19). However, after treatment with Imatinib (follow-up interval of 30 + 16 days), FDG PET predicted response to therapy earlier than CT in 18% of lesions and 14% of patients, respectively. There was no significant difference in the density of malignant lesions by means of Hounsfield unit (HU) in the baseline PET in comparison to the early post-therapeutic investigations (93 + 16 vs. 90 + 22). Conclusion: For treatment monitoring of Imatinib in GIST patients, FDG PET gives more precise information of active state of disease compared with CT.
A new delphinid from the lower Pliocene of the North Sea and the early radiations of true dolphins

Abstract. With a remarkable exception for the Mediterranean, the worldwide Pliocene record of true dolphins (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Delphinidae) remains scarce, in stark contrast with the large number of extant species testifying to the evolutionary success of this family. Based on a fragmentary skull discovered in lower Pliocene deposits (Zanclean, 5 to 4.4 Ma) of the Kattendijk Formation in the Antwerp harbour (Belgium, southern margin of the North Sea basin), we describe here a new delphinid species, Pliodelphis doelensis gen. et sp. nov. This small dolphin with cranial dimensions in the range of the short-beaked common dolphin Delphinus delphis can be distinguished from other extinct and extant delphinids by a combination of cranial features including the maxilla being significantly narrower than the premaxilla at a short distance anterior to the antorbital notch in dorsal view, the maximum opening of the mesorostral groove being located at the level of the antorbital notches, a transversely wide and anteroposteriorly long dorsal exposure of the presphenoid anterior to the bony nares, and all dorsal infraorbital foramina being located posterior to the premaxillary foramina. P. doelensis constitutes the first member of the family described from the early Pliocene of the North Sea basin and, for the whole North Atlantic realm, only the third outside the Mediterranean. This new record contributes thus to our understanding of the poorly known Pliocene radiation(s) of true dolphins.
Neuroprotective effect of morin against unpredictable chronic mild stress induced oxidative stress and behavioural de icits in Wistar rats

Morin is a bio lavonoid widely found in fruits and vegetables, which possesses the protective activity to various neurological diseases. An earlier report showed that the administration ofmorin had antidepressant-like effect against acute stress conditions. Acute stress induces only transient changes in the brain while the prolonged stress increases vulnerability to mental disorders. To better understand its anti depressive activity, we explored the neuroprotective role of morin against unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) induced rats. Male Wistar rats were randomized and grouped into control, UCMS exposed (different stressors) UCMS and morin (30 & 60 mg/kg) cotreated andmorin alone treated (60mg/kg). Morriswatermaze test (MWMT) and sucrose preference test (SPT) were employed to study the effect of morin on learning, memory and anhedonia of rats. In addition, the levels of thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) and the activities of super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were estimated. Behavior studies indicated that morin treatment signi icantly increased the memory and sucrose intake as shown by MWMT and SPT respectively. Moreover, it exhibited the antioxidant activity by reducing the amount of lipid peroxidation products (TBARS) and GSH and activities of enzymatic antioxidants in UCMS rats. Our experiment suggested that the antidepressant-like actions ofmorin could be due to its potent antioxidant property.
Incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and it’s maternal-fetal outcome in admitted antenatal patients in tertiary care centre, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India

Background: Pre-eclampsia refers to any new onset of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive, non proteinuric women. Hypertension is a very common medical complication of pregnancy. It is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Early detection, close surveillance and timely delivery are necessary to reduce complications and improvement in maternal and fetal health and outcome. To determine the incidence, risk factors and maternal and fetal outcomes in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in all pregnant women attending Obstetrics and Gynaecology department, Shanakaracharya Institute of Medical Science, Bhilai.Methods: This is a retrospective record-based observational study conducted over a period of one year from January 2020-December 2020 after getting approval from the institutional ethical committee. Patients diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were evaluated and data was collected and analyzed.Results: Of the 1503 deliveries in the hospital during the period under review, 131(8.7%) were managed for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia was the commonest type of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (69.3%) with the majority presenting with severe disease. Women of all age group were affected with highest incidence among 21-30years of age (69.4%). The incidence was maximum among primigravida (67.2%) compared to multipara 100 (32.8%). Intra uterine deaths were recorded among 12.2%, while a major share of fetus (41.2%) were diagnosed to have intrauterine growth retardation. Most common maternal complication in our study was abruption (7.6%), followed by HELLP (2.2%). Two maternal deaths were recorded, giving a case fatality rate of 1.5%. Conclusions: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Regular antenatal follow up will help in early diagnosis and timely intervention of the cases. Also, special consideration and close surveillance of those women with early-onset disease is important. There is need for strengthening of communication and referral systems in the healthcare.
Feasibility of Drone Imagery for Monitoring Performance of a Modified Drill in a Conservation Farming System

In this paper, performance of a no-till corn planter in a soil covered with previous wheat residue was evaluated. Three levels of crop residue cover (CRC): 30, 45 and 60%, two planting schemes; onbed and in-furrow and two forward speed: (4 and 8 km h -1 ) were considered as treatments. The field was evaluated by ground and air observations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the capability of aerial images captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in identifying the distances between corn seedlings and as a result, assessing the quality of planter performance. Collected data from ground and aerial imagery were used to calculate seed establishment indices including multiple index, miss index, quality of feed index, precision index and also emergence rate index (ERI), for each plot. Images captured from10 m altitude (4.5 mm pixel -1 ) could give satisfactory results in relation to our objectives. Our results show that acceptable correlations existed between terrestrial and aerial seedlings spacing data sets (0.94<R<0.98) suggesting the aerial imagery is a good choice for evaluating the seed establishment and estimating ERI. Aerial imagery data source underestimated quality of feed and precision indices, overestimated miss index and could not provide processed data range needed for computing multiple index due to low image resolution, weeds presence within crop rows and overlapping of leaves.
Efficacy of two-person technique for I-gel insertion: a prospective observational study

Background: Recently anesthesiologists favoring I-gel over ET in securing airway during general anaesthesia because of better haemodynamic response and post-operative complications. In this study, we have assessed the efficacy of two -person technique for insertion of Igel in paralysed patients. Methods: Igel is insertion was done in 40 patients undergoing general anaesthesia. Insertion time, number of attempts, air leaks, Tidal volume (TV) and expired tidal volume (ETV), emergence from anaesthesia, post-operative complications were assessed. Results: Mean insertion time was 14.02±1.99 seconds. Insertion was successful in 37 patients (92.5%) in first attempt. 3 (7.5%) patients needed second attempts. Emergence from anaesthesia was satisfactory in all cases (100%). 3 patients (7.5%) had mild cough and there were blood stained in the device in 2 cases (5%). 6 patients (15%) had mild, 5 patients (12.5%) had moderate sore throat in first 24 hours. 4 patients (10%) had mild pain during swallowing. Conclusions: Twoperson technique for insertion of I-gel is easier and lower insertion time with fewer complications.
