Smartphone Operating System Preference Based On Different Personality & Lifestyle Traits Of The Consumer

: With smartphone-based social science research gathering attention, it becomes captivating to study how psychological factors viz., personality & lifestyle can predict the liking of a person’s mobile phone operating system. For this two major mobile operating system, iOS & Android were chosen. To study personality Big five factor model, containing 44 items was used & for lifestyle, a lifestyle instrument consisting 19 items was used. For the purpose of this study a sample of 216 was collected which was tested using binary logistic regression to predict the user’s preference. The model came out with a very minute statistical differences with just one factor of personality, i.e., conscientiousness showing a significant result. These tiny differences still provides some useful information about the users which has an implication for researchers specifically working in the area of Computational Social Science.
The role of species-specific modifications in peptidoglycan biosynthesis

Penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are responsible for the final extracellular steps transglycosylation and transpeptidation) in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, the essential cell-wall carbohydrate polymer, from its Lipid II precursor. They are excellent targets for antibiotics due to their essentiality for cell viability in most bacteria. Genus- and species-specific variation in the chemical structure of Lipid II can have significant consequences for the formation and metabolism of the peptidoglycan sacculus by the PBPs. Characterisation of these enzymes from Grampositive bacteria, including the substrate-enzyme interactions involved, is essential in both understanding the mechanisms of peptidoglycan biosynthesis and contributing to the development of new antimicrobials. The work presented in this thesis focuses primarily on the substrate specificity of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bifunctional PBPs; PBP1a and PBP2a; both recombinantly expressed and purified to a high level. The preference, by both enzymes, for amidated Lipid II as a transglycosylase substrate was identified by two complementary assay systems. A novel spectrophotometric assay was used to observe transpeptidation by S. pneumoniae PBP1a in a continuous manner; the first time this has been achieved for a Gram-positive PBP, and with potentially farreaching implications in the future of antibiotic discovery. Attempts were made to synthesise dipeptide branched Lipid II, implicated in β-lactam resistance, as substrates for the bifunctional PBPs. The role of amidation in Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan biosynthesis was also investigated, and variation in the requirement for this modification between the monofunctional transglycosylase MGT and bifunctional PBP2 identified. Two novel monosaccharide compounds were identified as inhibitors of transglycosylation. This thesis provides an important basis for understanding the peptidoglycan biosynthesis mechanisms of two globally important pathogens. This insight, and future work leading from it, could contribute to the development of new antibiotics, helping to reduce the global threat of antimicrobial resistance.
Brain abscess – A rare complication of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke

Background: Brain abscess is a neurosurgical emergency, which can arise through direct bacterial seeding or hematogenous spread. Rarely, brain abscess formation has been reported following ischemic stroke. An increasingly utilized therapy for stroke is mechanical thrombectomy, and within this report, we present a case of brain abscess formation following this procedure. Case Description: A 78-year-old female presented to our center with a right total anterior circulation stroke (TACS) secondary to terminal internal carotid artery occlusion. An emergent mechanical thrombectomy was performed and the patient’s initial postoperative recovery was good. In the 3rd week after the procedure, however, the patient became more confused and following the onset of fever, an MRI brain was performed, which demonstrated an extensive multiloculated right-sided brain abscess. Burr hole drainage of the abscess was subsequently undertaken and pus samples obtained grew Proteus mirabilis, presumed secondary to a urinary tract infection, and the patient was started on prolonged antibiotic therapy. To date, the infection has been eradicated and the patient survives albeit with persistent neurological deficits. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported UK case of brain abscess following mechanical thrombectomy for stroke. Endovascular interventions can lead to increased incidence of ischemia-reperfusion injury in stroke with increased blood–brain barrier damage and risk of microbial seeding. This case highlights the need for rigorous asepsis and proactive treatment of systemic infections in the acute phase following endovascular treatment and consideration of brain abscess in all patients who present with new-onset confusion and unexplained fever following stroke.
Solving Skills Through Addressing Real-World Problems Related To Fractions In Primary Schools

The ability to solve problems is one of the necessary competencies of students. Therefore, forming and developing a problem-solving capacity for students is one of the crucial tasks in teaching in general and teaching mathematics in particular in elementary schools. This paper is aimed at developing elementary school problem-solving skills associated with the subject of fractions. The sample consisted of 42 fourth grade students who were taught by integrated activities to resolve real-word problems on the subject. A qualitative method was utilized to clarify students' problem-solving skills. The results were demonstrated that their performance of problem-solving skills improved significantly over level scales.
xMatcher: Matching Extensible Markup Language Schemas using Semantic-based Techniques

Schema matching is a critical step in data inte-gration systems. Most recent schema matching systems require a manual double-check of the matching results to add missed matches and remove incorrect matches. Manual correction is labor-intensive and time-consuming, however without it the results accuracy is significantly lower. In this paper, we present xMatcher, an approach to automatically match XML schemas. Given two schemas S1 and S2, xMatcher identifies semantically similar schema elements between S1 and S2. To obtain correct matches, xMatcher first transforms S1 and S2 into sets of words; then, it uses a context-based measure to identify the meanings of words in their contexts; next, it captures semantic relatedness between sets of words in different schemas; finally, it uses WordNet information to calculate the similarity values between semantically related sets and matches the pairs of sets whose similarity values are greater than or equal to 0.8. The results show that xMatcher provides superior matching accuracy compared to the state of the art matching systems. Overall, our proposal can be a stepping stone towards decreasing human assistance and overcoming the weaknesses of current matching initiatives in terms of matching accuracy.
The Role of Eco-School Program (Adiwiyata) towards Environmental Literacy of High School Students

This study was intended to display the role of eco-school program (Adiwiyata) towards environtmental literacy (EL) of high school students by analyzing, (a) EL of students in Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata high schools, and (b) EL of students in Grade X and XI, Adiwiya and non-Adiwiyata high schools in Malang-East Java, Indonesia. The survey involved 275 students. The respondents were from four state high school i.e. SMAN 1, SMAN 3, SMAN 4, and SMAN 7. Data were taken via MSELS questionnaire that was modified and filled online. Aspects of EL include ecological knowledge, environmental affect, cognitive skills, and behavior. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the level of students’ EL was significantly influenced by school type and grade. However, the interaction both of them had no significant effect on their EL. Univariate results on school type factor informed that significant differences occured in all aspects of EL, where the lower identified level of students in Adiwiyata schools compared to NonAdiwiyata was only in the environmental affect. On the other hand, the significant influence of grade level only occurred in cognitive skills aspect. Broadly speaking, all data analyzes concluded that the application of the Adiwiyata program was able to bring a positive impact on the level of students’ EL. There was also a tendency that the higher the student's grade, the better their EL level.
Comparison of the Arboreal Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) of the Wet and Dry Forests of the Western Ghats, India

Abstract Data on the composition, abundance, and guild structure of the arboreal dung beetle communities associated with dry and wet forests in the Western Ghats, a global hotspot of biodiversity in southwestern India, is provided. Five arboreal dung beetle species (Caccobius gallinus Arrow, Caccobius meridionalis Boucomont, Onthophagus vladimiri Frey, Onthophagus furcillifer Bates, and Onthophagus centricornis (Fabricius)) were collected. Overall abundance was high in dry forests, and all species were tunnelers in both wet and dry forests. Analysis of the species composition leads to the question why only members of the modern tribes Onthophagini and Sisyphini are arboreal in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions and the primitive tribe Canthonini alone in the Neotropical region. Lower abundance of arboreal dung beetles in the Western Ghats is attributed to the lower abundance of arboreal primates in this area. Higher abundance and diversity of monkey populations in the dry forest region and the availability of dung in the arboreal canopy for a longer duration in the dry forests with a very short rainy season lead to higher abundance of arboreal dung beetles in the dry forests. Onthogphagus centricornis, the dominant arboreal dung beetle in both dry and wet forests in the southern Western Ghats, is the smallest arboreal dung beetle species recorded so far. Smaller size range of all arboreal dung beetle species indicates that small size must be considered as the major adaptation for arboreality. Based on their capacity to exploit dung resources both on the ground and in the arboreal environment, it is proposed that the arboreal dung beetle species are a more modern group than the exclusively ground-based dung beetle species.
The magnitude and associated Factors of Postoperative Trichiasis among adults who underwent Trachomatous Trichiasis Surgery in Ambassel District, North-East Ethiopia

Background In Trachoma endemic countries, many people who underwent Trichiasis surgery faced a recurrence of the disease. Postoperative Trichiasis is a significant problem for patients and health care providers because it puts the eye at renewed risk of sight loss. Despite the low utilization of Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) surgery and high recurrence rate, evidences that elucidate why TT recurs after surgery are limited. This study was aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of postoperative Trichiasis among 18 years and above individuals who underwent Trachomatous Trichiasis surgery between 2006 and 2011 Ethiopian Fiscal year in Ambassel District, North-East Ethiopia, 2020. Methods The community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 10 to March 23/2020 in selected kebeles of Ambassel District. The required sample size was calculated using EPI-INFO Version 7. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to employ a total of 506 individuals. Data were collected through the interviewer-administered structured pre-tested questionnaire and entered into EpiData version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 23.0. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to identify associated factors of Trachomatous Trichiasis recurrence. Results Four hundred ninety two individuals participated in this study with response rate of 97.2%. In Ambassel district the prevalence of postoperative Trichiasis was 23.8% (95%CI = 19.9–27.8). Among associated factors of postoperative Trichiasis age 50–59 AOR = 3.34 (CI = 1.38–8.1), 60–69 AOR = 3.24(CI = 1.38–7.61), ≥ 70 years AOR = 6.04 (CI = 2.23–16.41), duration since surgery AOR = 1.7(CI = 1.35–2.14), complication AOR = 2.98(CI = 1.24–7.2), washing the face two times AOR = 0.25(CI = 0.13–0.47), washing the face three and more times AOR = 0.1(CI = 0.41 − 0.25), taking Azithromycin following surgery AOR = 0.19(CI = 0.09–0.41), pre-operative epilation history AOR = 2.11, (CI = 1.14, 3.9)and having a knowledge about TrachomaTtrichiasis AOR = 0.21(CI = 0.08–0.58) showed a statistical significant association. Conclusions The prevalence of postoperative Trichiasis in Ambassel District was higher than most Ethiopian studies. Age, frequency of face washing, medication following surgery, duration since the last surgery, knowledge about trachoma, pre-operative epilation history and complication after surgery were identified to be independent factors. To minimize postoperative Trichiasis stakeholders need to consider health education for patients, provision of Azithromycin after surgery and proper training for IECWs.
Understanding the Factors That Inhibit the Success of Indigenous Entrepreneurs in Malaysia

This study aims to identify the factors that inhibit the success of indigenous entrepreneurs. The instrument in this quantitative study was a questionnaire that consisted of 54 items with Likert Scale 5. The respondents of this study were 377 indigenous youth entrepreneurs, who were selected by random sampling. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program version 21 used to analyze data based on frequency, percentage, and linear regression. The results show that there are nine (9) main factors that inhibit the success of indigenous entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Factors that inhibit indigenous from becoming successful entrepreneurs include being lacking financial capital, experience, knowledge in information technology and business strategy, entrepreneurial information, management skills, networking skills, difficulty in finding skilled workers, and complicated financial loan bureaucracy. Factors that inhibit the success of indigenous entrepreneurs classify into two categories. The findings of this study showed that the intrinsic and extrinsic factors had a significant influence on the motivation of Malaysian indigenous youth in entrepreneurship development. Therefore, entrepreneurship and information technology courses are necessary to improve the knowledge and skills of indigenous in Malaysia. However, on the whole, it was found that the bureaucracy of complicated financial lending had become the dominant factor that inhibits the success of indigenous entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
Relationship between Gambling Addiction and Violent Behaviour among University Students in Lang’ata Constituency

Gambling addiction is unhealthy betting that could result in problematic behaviour and experience of serious multiple problems. Historically, betting is inherently an acceptable recreational activity across human societies. Betting has become a way of life and especially among university students in Kenya. The study examined the relationship between gambling addiction and violent behaviour among university students in Lang'ata Constituency, Nairobi County. The target population was 20,700 university students. The sample size was 393 students. Skinner's Theory of Learning was used in understanding the relationship between types of gambling, prevalence of gambling, risk factors of gambling, coping strategies, and violent behaviour among university students. Correlational research design was used. Stratified random sampling was used in identifying the sample size. Descriptive statistics was used in analysing descriptive data. Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, ANOVA and Regression Analysis were used in inferring results of the study. The response rate was 99.4%. Explanatory variables explained 73.7% of variation in violent behaviour among university students while 26.3% of variation in violence could be attributed to other factors outside the scope of this study. All independent variables have statistically significant relationship with the dependent variable hence they were retained in the final model. The resulting hypothesis affirms the relationship between gambling addiction and violent behaviour among university students. To investigate causality of betting addiction and violent behaviour among students, experimental design may be appropriate in future studies. Future studies may consider triangulating numerical and non-numerical data in investigating the relationship between betting addiction and violent behaviour among university students. Insufficient betting infrastructure was abetting betting in learning institutions in Kenya hence the need to enact policies that promote healthy betting practices.
Disruption of complex enteric commensal microbial communities and their mutualistic functions with the host contributes to the severity of common intestinal disorders and serves as a promising therapeutic target

Christopher Dennis Packey: Disruption of complex enteric commensal microbial communities and their mutualistic functions with the host contributes to the severity of common intestinal disorders and serves as a promising therapeutic target (Under the direction of R. Balfour Sartor) Many people were surprised when the Human Genome Project revealed that the human genome contains only about 20,000 protein-coding genes, comparable to the number in the fruit fly genome. The complexities of human health and disease may lie in the human microbiota, the constellation of microbes living inside and on the body that harbors at least 3.3 million non-

Majority of the bird species identified were of Least Concern 3.1 IUCN status, some are vulnerable like grey falcon, where as Pallid Harrier, Red-neck Falcon and Red-footed falcon are Near threatened and some bird species where not evaluated like intermediate egret and purple swamphen 3.1 IUCN status. The checklist produced will provide information for further research.
Numerical Simulation of the Oil Droplet Size Distribution Considering Coalescence and Breakup in Aero-Engine Bearing Chamber

Abstract: In order to improve the inadequacy of the current research on oil droplet size distribution in aero-engine bearing chamber, the influence of oil droplet size distribution with the oil droplets coalescence and breakup is analyzed by using the computational fluid dynamics-population balance model (CFD-PBM). The Euler–Euler equation and population balance equation are solved in Fluent software. The distribution of the gas phase velocity field and the volume fraction of different oil droplet diameter at different time are obtained in the bearing chamber. Then, the influence of different initial oil droplet diameter, air, and oil mass flow on oil droplet size distribution is discussed. The result of numerical analysis is compared with the experiment in the literature to verify the feasibility and validity. The main results provide the following conclusions. At the initial stage, the coalescence of oil droplets plays a dominant role. Then, the breakup of larger diameter oil droplet appears. Finally, the oil droplet size distribution tends to be stable. The coalescence and breakup of oil droplet increases with the initial diameter of oil droplet and the air mass flow increasing, and the oil droplet size distribution changes significantly. With the oil mass flow increasing, the coalescence and breakup of oil droplet has little change and the variation of oil droplet size distribution is not obvious.
Method for Fault Diagnosis of Temperature-Related MEMS Inertial Sensors by Combining Hilbert–Huang Transform and Deep Learning

In this paper, we propose a novel method for fault diagnosis in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensors using a bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM)-based Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) and a convolutional neural network (CNN). First, the method for fault diagnosis of inertial sensors is formulated into an HHT-based deep learning problem. Second, we present a new BLSTM-based empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method for converting one-dimensional inertial data into two-dimensional Hilbert spectra. Finally, a CNN is used to perform fault classification tasks that use time–frequency HHT spectrums as input. According to our experimental results, significantly improved performance can be achieved, on average, for the proposed BLSTM-based EMD algorithm in terms of EMD computational efficiency compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. In addition, the proposed fault diagnosis method achieves high accuracy in fault classification.
