Patterns of sensitization to food allergens among allergic adults and children following-up in Zagazig university hospitals, Egypt

INTRODUCTION It was thought that food allergy (FA) in the developing world was rare, but emerging epidemiological data have shown otherwise in the recent decade. This could be attributed to the previous under-recognition or underreporting of FA prevalence. Indeed, the health burden of food allergy is anticipated to rise substantially in the next decade. Food allergy present in different forms, including urticaria, angioedema, exacerbation of allergic rhinitis, asthma, or atopic dermatitis. Food allergic patients with asthma have a higher risk of developing life-threatening food-induced reactions and an asthmatic patient with a food allergy can have higher rates of morbidity and mortality associated with asthma. The most serious consequence of food allergy is anaphylaxis. Food allergy has significant deleterious effects on family economics, social interactions, school and work attendance, and health-related quality of life. Children with multiple food allergies face many nutritional problems as a consequence of an unsupervised elimination diet, which may lead to failure to thrive. There is a lack of reliable data regarding FA in most developing countries, including Egypt. 1,6 This study aimed to uncover some aspects of IgE mediated FA among the Egyptian population. We sought to explore the frequency of food sensitization among a sample of allergic patients and determine the common sensitizing food allergens among those patients.
ANALYSIS OF IMPROVED CASSAVA VARIETIES’ CULTIVATION AND DOWNSIDE RISK EXPOSURE AMONG FARMERS IN ONDO STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined the impact of improved cassava varieties’ cultivation and downside risk exposure among farmers in Ondo State, Nigeria. The multistage sampling procedure was employed to select 154 respondents for the study. The analytical tools employed are descriptive statistics and Endogenous Switching Regression (ESR) model. The empirical findings revealed that the respondents who were adopters and non-adopters were in their active ages, married, with some level of formal education and mainly male. The results of the Endogenous Switching Regression model revealed that years of formal education, extension agent visit, the quantity of herbicide used, quantity of hired labour, the quantity of fertilizer used and awareness of the importance of improved cassava varieties were positive and significant in determining the adoption of improved cassava varieties. Adoption of improved cassava varieties reduced the downside risk exposure (probability of crop failure) among farmers. Adoption of improved cassava varieties can reduce the downside risk exposure (likelihood of crop failure) among farmers. Therefore, the study recommended that extension agents should be supported by both government and non-governmental organizations to visit the farmers regularly and orientate them about inputs combination that can therefore, increase the farm output and reduce the probability of crop failure.
Effect of varying levels of dietary protein and stocking density on, performance and feed utilization of Pangasius Catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) fingerlings

A feeding trial for 56 days was conducted to investigate the optimum dietary protein and stocking density that could give the maximum growth performance of Pangasius catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus. Twenty-seven tanks (150 Liter) were used for random distribution of Pangasius fingerlings (5.5±0.2 g) at three stocking densities; 10, 15, and 20 fish/tank. Fish of each density fed either formulated diet of 30, 35, and 40% crude protein (CP). Pangas fingerlings were fed one of the tested diets up to apparent satiety twice a day at 09:00 and 14:00 h. The recorded fluctuation of water parameters was within the normal range such as 27– 29°C water temperature, 5.6–6.8mg/l dissolved oxygen, 7.3– 7.7pH, and 0.7–1.40 mg/l total ammonia. Obtained data showed that the final body weight, weight gain, weight gain %, specific growth rate (SGR) were significantly affected by protein level and conversely affected by stocking density. The best performance and survival recorded at diet containing 35and 40% protein at the lowest stocking density, while the poorest growth was retrieved with 30%protein at high density (20 fish/tank). Feed utilization parameters were in the same line with the protein level and stocking density effect. The best feed conversion ratio FCR, 1.57±0.06 and 1.53±0.03 was gained with 35% and 40%protein respectively at10 stocking density. Correspondingly, the highest values of PER and PPV were obtained at low density with 35 and 40% CP. No significant differences were recorded in lipid and ash contents in the fish body fed diets of different protein levels at varied stocking densities. Nevertheless, moisture Egyptian Journal for Aquaculture P-ISSN: 2090-7877 E-ISSN: 2636-3984 www.eja. journals.ekb. eg Khattaby, A.A. ; 2021; 11 (1):01-17 DOI: 10.21608/eja.2021. 64899.1045 Effect of protein levels and density on, performance of Pangasius hypophthalmus fingerlings 2 and body protein content were positively affected by dietary protein levels. The results revealed that fish fed diet containing 35% protein with stocking density levels of 10 fish/ 150 L would be suitable for the optimum growth of Pangasius catfish, P. hypophthalmus fingerlings.
MINIMIZING THE EFFECT OF SOIL SALINITY ON FENNEL PLANT USING CYANOBACTERIA AND COMPOST

This study was carried out during the two successive growing seasons of 2013/ 14 and 2014/15 at the Farm of Soils, Water and Environ. Res. Inst. , Agric. , Res. Center in Sahal El-Tina (Por-saied Governorate), to investigate effects of cyanobacteria at rates of 0, 6 or 9 g/L and compost at rates of 0, 6, 8 and 10 ton /fad on growth, fruits yield, essential oil %, essential oil yield/ plant and its components and chemical composition of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) under soil salinity conditions. Gradual and significant increase in plant height, numbers of branches and number of umbels/ plant, fresh and dry weights of plant, fruit yield per plant, essential oil percentage in fruits, and essential oil yield per plant were recorded with increasing the tested cyanobacteria concentration from zero up to 9 g/L. Maximum percentages of αPinene, βPinene, fenchone and anethole in the resulted essential oil also, was recorded with 9 g/L cyanobacteria while the maximum anise aldehyde % was resulted with 6 g/L cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria at all tested concentrations reduced straggle percent. Compost treatments especially (8 ton /fad) enhanced all growth characteristics of fennel plants. Also, maximum fenchone and anethole content and minimum estragole content was resulted with 8 ton/ fad. Significant increase in growth characteristics was obtained with combination between 8 ton compost/fed and 9 g/L cyanobacteria. Conclusively, it could be recommend that using cyanobacteria (CB) at 9 g/L with 8 ton /fad, compost enhanced fennel growth as well as fruit and essential oil yield and its composition.
Effective Social Studies Pedagogy: Effect of Simulation Games and Brainstorming Strategies on Students’ Learning Outcome

This study explored the effects of game simulation and brainstorming pedagogy strategies on students’ learning outcomes. In addition, the study compared the effects of three strategies on students’ learning outcomes. This study tested pedagogical strategies for effects on learning outcomes. The quasi-experimental research involved 180 students. The results reliably indicate that a simulation-game pedagogical strategy boosted students’ learning outcomes, while a brainstorming pedagogical strategy was effective on students’ learning outcomes. When equated with brainstorming and the lecture strategies in enhancing students’ learning outcomes, the superiority of the simulation-game pedagogical strategy was also observed. These findings indicate that innovative and student-centred pedagogical strategies such as simulation-game and brainstorming strategies improve students’ learning outcomes. In-service teachers should be appropriately trained through seminars and conferences on modern pedagogical strategies such as brainstorming and simulation games for better Social Studies pedagogical strategies.
A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INFECTION IN GOATS WITH MASTITIS IN “NOUQRA” VALLEY OF ASWAN GOVERNORATE, SOUTH EGYPT

Prevalence of mastitis in goats located in Nouqra valley, Aswan Governorate, by indirect method (California Mastitis Test) in paralleling with culturing and molecular (PCR) procedures for detection of Staphylococcus aureus as a major mastitis pathogen. A total of 148 raw milk samples were subsequently collected from apparently healthy native breed goats, with different age and parity, and subjected to California Mastitis Test. By CMT, our results indicated that 117 (79.05 %) of the tested—samples were positive. Culturally using Baired Parker media, pure strains of Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from CMT—positive samples with a percentage of 1.35% and 77.7% of the samples showed fair growth, which classified as other non-aureus staphylococci. Coagulase test revealed 7 (4.7%) samples were positive and 141 (95.3%) were negative. These isolates were molecularly tested using 16s Rrna (Staphylococcus genus specific), nuc gene (S.aureus species specific) and mecA gene (methicillin resistance gene) by Multiplex PCR Technique. Their results indicated that 87.5% were positive for 16s Rrna, 25% were positive for nuc gene, 75% were positive for mec A gene and 12.5% were negative. The in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity testing revealed that the resistant percentages to penicillin were surprise (100% resistance). Amoxicillin, cefaclore, colistin, oxolinic acid, neomycin, erythromycin, and lincomycin were also examined with various resistant results. Approx. 85 % (85.71%) of the tested strains were Ciprofloxacin—sensitive.
Does volatility scaling improve the performance of momentum strategies in the Pakistan Stock Exchange?

Momentum profits are low among stocks listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. We explore whether this can be improved by exploiting the predicted negative relationship between returns and volatility of momentum strategies. This relationship suggests that momentum returns increase/decrease with decrease/increase in the volatility/variance of momentum returns during the previous six months. We find that scaled momentum strategies outperform the traditional strategy in terms of higher raw returns, risk-adjusted returns and Sharpe ratios. To show the superiority of scaled momentum strategies, we bootstrap the sample 100,000 times and generate the lognormal distribution of holding-period returns for all momentum strategies. We find that the probability of negative returns for the scaled strategy declines from 39% to 8% in comparison to the traditional momentum strategy.
Effect of an Educational Program on Gynecological Nurses′ Performance Pre and Post Hysterectomy Surgery

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological surgical procedure among reproductive age women. The nursing care plan for a woman undergoing hysterectomy should reflect nurse's awareness of the physical care required, as well as her emotional needs and anxiety levels. The aim of this study: was to determine the effect of educational program on gynecological nurses′ performance pre and post hysterectomy surgery. Subjects and method: The study was conducted at the gynaecological inpatient unit of obstetric and gynaecological department at Tanta University Hospital and El-Menshawy Hospital affiliated to Ministry of Health and Population. All nurses (40 nurses) who were working in the previously mentioned settings and provided care to women undergoing hysterectomy were included in the study. Two tools were used for data collection; Tool (I): Structured interview schedule for nurses. Tool (II): An observational checklist for nurse′s performance. Results: The results revealed that majority of the studied nurses had low level of knowledge and unsatisfactory performance regarding hysterectomy preprogram, which significantly improved immediately and one month post program with a significant statistical difference P <0.05. Conclusion and recommendations: The findings of present study revealed that the implementation of the educational program resulted in a significant improvement of nurses’ performance regarding pre and post hysterectomy surgery immediately and one month after program compared to preprogram. Planned sustainable training program to upgrade nurse's skills and knowledge to care for women with hysterectomy.
Brand placement in Web Series: Assessing consumer attitudes in India

Reports indicate that 49% of adults in India spend at least 2-3 hours consuming OTT media, rather than watching conventional television. With such changes in the way the general population is exposed to content, brands have also been adapting to the new patterns that this study investigates. This study was conducted to assess consumers’ attitudes and acceptance towards brand placement in the novel media format of web series based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study, based on a survey of 278 individuals from Urban India settings, was conducted using a self-report questionnaire adapted from F Davis’s Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use and User Acceptance of TAM questionnaire (1989). The study supports TAM and recognizes that the frequency of viewing Web Series directly relates to brand recall (R = 0.57, p &lt; .001). Product/brand placement yields brand awareness for unknown or unpopular brands and provide evidence for higher engagement with the placement when the audiences have pre-existing positive attitudes towards the brand (t (277) = 27.11, p = . 01). This study also confirms that TAM as a relevant model can be applied to understand how regularity and duration of viewing affect attitudes towards brands and their placement in Web Series. Brand placement in Web Series is perceived as useful and largely determines brand name recall. Thus, marketers should strategically consider using brand placement in Web Series as a part of their marketing communication plan, especially as this media with other related forms of advertisement are important for brands to keep up with the industry’s communication challenges.
Biochemical profile and resistance phenotype of bacteria isolated from the operating site departments of the National Reference University Hospital of N’Djamena

The aim is to assess the level of contamination of wound bacteria in operated patients in the surgical departments of the National Reference University Hospital (CHURN) of N’Djamena. From August 1, 2018 to August 1, 2019, an observational culture study on wound pus was carried out in patients operated on from the surgical services of the N’Djamena CHURN according to standard methods of medical microbiology. Of the 1092 patients operated on, 565 patients were released within a normal period of hospitalization and 527 in contact with the pathogens were maintained. Significant differences were observed between the proportions of positive (86%) and sterile (14%) cultures; female (30.36%) and male (69.63%) operated subjects with probabilities of 0.02 and 0.001 respectively. Escherichia coli were the most common germs (32.7%), followed by Staphylococcus spp (20.9%). The bacteria isolated were resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics at an average rate of 40%, only imipenem, a last-resort antibiotic, was very sensitive (99.5%). In view of these results, we recommend that prescribers avoid prescribing antibiotics without laboratory evidence for fear of losing the beta-lactams permanently.
Namur Is mathematical history written by the victors ?

We examine prevailing philosophical and historical views about the origin of infinitesimal mathematics in light of modern infinitesimal theories, and show the works of Fermat, Leibniz, Euler, Cauchy and other giants of infinitesimal mathematics in a new light. We also detail several procedures of the historical infinitesimal calculus that were only clarified and formalized with the advent of modern infinitesimals. These procedures include Fermat’s adequality; Leibniz’s law of continuity and the transcendental law of homogeneity; Euler’s principle of cancellation and infinite integers with the associated infinite products; Cauchy’s “Dirac” delta function. Such procedures were interpreted and formalized in Robinson’s framework in terms of concepts like the standard part principle, the transfer principle, and hyperfinite products. We evaluate the critiques of historical and modern infinitesimals by their foes from Berkeley and Cantor to Bishop and Connes. We analyze the issue of the consistency, as distinct from the issue of the rigor, of historical infinitesimals, and contrast the methodologies of Leibniz and Nieuwentijt in this connection.
The Effect of Institutional Ownership and Capital Structure on Firm Value with Financial Distress as Moderated Variables in Non-Bank Companies Registered in IDX LQ45 2016 – 2018

This study aims to examine the effect of institutional, capital structure, firm value with financial distress as moderation. In this study, external secondary data is used, namely data obtained from the financial statements of non-bank companies listed on the LQ 45 Indonesia Stock Exchange 2016-2018. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling method. The analytical method used is path analysis. The results showed that institutional ownership has an effect on firm value. Even though the contribution is very small, it still contributes to changes in firm value The institutional ownership variable moderated by the financial distress variable shows that institutional ownership moderated by financial distress has no effect on firm value, meaning financial distress cannot moderate the effect of institutional ownership on firm value, meaning that if institutional ownership increases and increased financial distress will have an impact on the decline in stock performance so that the value of the company will decrease, and vice versa. Ownership variables in the company do not affect changes in firm value, this is possible because companies listed in LQ 45 are companies with good performance so that investors no longer see the proportion of ownership in the company but pay more. And finally, there is the influence of the capital structure variable on firm value which is moderated by financial distress, namely financial distress which is able to moderate the effect of capital structure on firm value. This means that if the capital structure rises and financial distress increases, the company value will increase.
Assessing the Reflection in Learning Ability of Nursing Students: Psychometric Properties of Reflection in Learning Scale

Background: Reflection plays an important role in in-depth learning. Reflective ability must develop among students of medical sciences. Objectives: The aim of this study was the psychometric assessment of the Reflection in Learning Scale and evaluating this ability among nursing students. Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing students of Shahid Sadeghi University of Medical Sciences (Yazd, Iran) in 2019.The participants selected by the census. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the validity (qualitative and quantitative methods), Confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability of Reflection in Learning Scale were evaluated. In the second phase, the reflection in learning was assessed using this tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests by SPSS software. Results: The content and face validity of the scale were confirmed. Internal consistency of the instrument was 0.92 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and ICC of 0.90 determined. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed acceptable indices: goodness of fit index =0.89, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.06, root mean square error of approximation = 0.18. Learners' reflection ability with a mean score of 4.37 ± 1.04 was at a moderate level. Conclusion: The Persian version of Reflection in Learning Scale is a valid and reliable tool and can be used to assess reflection abilities in learners. Nursing students' reflection ability was at a moderate level. Therefore, planning to assess reflection ability in nursing education by the tool is recommended.
Forsterite to wadsleyite phase transformation under shear stress and consequences for the Earth's mantle transition zone

We have studied the phase transformation of forsterite to wadsleyite under shear stress at the Earth’s transition zone pressure and temperature conditions. Two-step experiments were performed using a multi-anvil press. First, we hot pressed iron-free forsterite at 6 or 11 GPa and 1100 ◦C. Then we deformed a slab of this starting material using a direct simple shear assembly at 16 GPa and 1400 ◦C for 1, 15, 35, 40, or 60 min. Both the starting material and the deformed samples were characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy including measurements of crystal preferred orientations (CPO) by electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The phase transformation occurs very rapidly, in less than 1 min, and metastable forsterite relics are not observed after deformation. The grain size of wadsleyite is slightly smaller than the forsterite starting material. The water contents obtained from FTIR analyses in forsterite and wadsleyite are 65–124 wt ppm H2O and 114–736 wt ppm H2O, respectively, which are well below water solubility at similar conditions in the presence of free water. Wadsleyite aggregates display weak CPO patterns with [1 0 0] axes concentrated at low angle to the shear direction, [0 1 0] axes perpendicular to the shear plane and nearly random [0 0 1] axes. Only a few dislocations were observed in wadsleyite with TEM. This observation is consistent with the assumption that most dislocations formed during the initial high-stress stages of these stress-relaxation experiments, were consumed in the phase transformation, probably enhancing the transformation rate. CPO patterns vary as a function of the water content: with increasing water content the density of [1 0 0] axes parallel to the shear direction decreases, and the density of [0 0 1] axes increases. Viscoplastic self-consistent modeling of CPO evolution using previously reported glide systems for wadsleyite, i.e., [1 0 0]{0 k l} and 1/2 〈1 1 1〉{1 0 1}, cannot reproduce the measured CPO, unless the [0 0 1](0 1 0) system, for which dislocations have not been observed by TEM, is also activated. In addition, wadsleyite grain growth suggests the participation of diffusion-assisted processes in deformation. Calculated anisotropies for P and S-waves using measured CPO are always below 1%. This very low anisotropy is due to both the low finite strain achieved in the experiments, which leads to weak wadsleyite CPO, and to the diluting effect of added majorite. The present experiments emphasize the importance of stress, grain size evolution and water content in the forsterite to wadsleyite phase quen transformation and subse
